Stance on multiple hot button topics including the so-called Green New Deal Medicare for all and building the border wall Harris back in 2020 called the border wall a medieval vanity project let me be very clear I'm not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances but at last week's convention she promised to move ahead with a bill that.

Story okay I'm going tell you where you messed up at look they say mother knows best and for 9-year-old Zar glanton Jr that includes when he's in the trenches Zar when you're playing man like what words from your mom are you kind of hearing in your head suck that quarterback Zara's favorite position to play is defensive end and when his mom.
Tarica gets home from her job as a social services director they will square up in the yard of their Florida home and get to work I want sax every day all day um when he's in the game of course now tarica has loved football since she was a cheerleader in high school but this all started when Zar first joined a team at.
5 years old he was so excited but the problem was he just was not getting any playtime I knew I had to do something you was down the first thing you did was stood straight up no so Mom stepped in and started training Zar herself within a year she says he became a full-time starter on both offense and defense four years later and as you can.
Imagine she is just as passionate is it like sir sack that quarter yep louder than that not to mention in the past few months their workout videos have exploded online Gathering millions of views commenters writing you're a mother any child would be blessed to have and I see your mom with the shake and bake go in the.

Carter former national champion at Georgia and current defensive lineman for my Eagles so that probably helps a little right guys that have a great weekend see you it's you're going to challenge the TR.
Campaign the US military publicly rebukes the Trump campaign over a cemetery scuffle and clearly we're unhappy that this Cemetery staffer was denigrated in comments from the Trump campaign this is quickly escalated to a campaign Trail crisis meanwhile Kam Harris and Tim Walls give their first interview we're breaking it all down.
Ukraine was warned you can't just pick up an F-16 now a pilot is dead some of these weapons require lots of training has too little too late given way to too much too soon soon and the FBI promised they would learn the numbers say they didn't it's a staggering figure and a real another black eye for the FBI the damning new Watchdog report on sexual.
Abuse investigations I would like to thank our great vice president KL Harris she experienced she's tough she's capable it's been almost 6 weeks since President Biden decided not to seek reelection and endorsed vice president kamla Harris to take his place and while Harris has spent those last 6 weeks reintroducing.
Herself to voters consolidating support picking a VP candidate of her own there's one thing she hasn't done she hasn't sat down for an interview with a broadcast journalist she's been asking Americans for their votes but she hasn't been willing to answer these repeated pressing questions well last night Harris gave an interview a joint.
Interview with her running mate Tim Walls to CNN what would you do on day one in the white house well there are a number of things I will tell you first and foremost one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class from the jump Harris focused on the middle class.
She told CNN's Dana Bash about character about keeping Donald Trump out of office but she was really focused here on economics expanding the child tax credit providing money for firsttime home buyers which leads to the million-dollar question though the question that Harris is going to have to continue explaining to the American people how do any of.
Your policies differ from the guy who had to stop running from President Biden who himself has become associated with the crisis of affordability you maintain bomic is a success I maintain that when we do the work of bringing down prescription medication for the American people including capping the cost of the annual cost of prescription medication.
For seniors at $2,000 Harris spelled out a number of accomplishments on drug prices on the inflation reduction act and defended her president I'll say that that's good work there's more to do but that's good work but she's also going to have to spell out her disagreements not just with Biden but even with herself with the views she held in the.
Past I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking and to me this was the most fascinating back and forth of this interview Harris was asked about the controversial technique of hydraulic fracturing fracking which is used extensively in places like Pennsylvania she said she had committed back in 2020.
Not to ban fracking but danab bash pointed out while on the campaign Trail in 2019 Harris had said she would so what changed for many moments Harris wouldn't answer she kept describing how her values haven't changed regardless of policy but finally she admitted she had moderated her stance we can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy.
Economy without Banning tracking she was asked about her race rather former president Donald Trump's baseless assertion that she had portrayed herself as indian-american rather than black and Indian any same old tired Playbook next question please that's it that's it she didn't want to make a meal out of it we'd seen this at the.
Convention too let others get personal seem to be the strategy you're trying to portray yourself as a commanderin-chief she even hinted that she would be open to Reaching Across the aisle on cabinet positions will you appoint a republican to your cabinet yes I would anyone in M I would no no one in particular in mine I got a we got 68 days to go with this.
Election so I'm not putting the car before the horse but I would I think now notice there was a difference between saying I will choose a Republican and I would choose a republican it's a little bit more conditional right like I would if the right person comes along we'll see so we'll see whether she treats this like a promise or a consideration but.
This is the reason why interviews like this are so useful and why the calls for them will continue meanwhile on the other side former president Donald Trump's campaign has gone to battle over something that happened at one of America's most sacred sites the Trump campaign facing.
Criticism for the former president's visit to Arlington National Cemetery Cemetery officials said there was a campaign photography related incident it's kind of reached a boiling point with the military yesterday so let's check in with ABC's senior White House correspondent Selena Wang who's been traveling with the Trump campaign she.
Was in Michigan where he spoke yesterday Selena first off can you just I guess paint the picture for us of what allegedly happened earlier this week at Arlington Cemetery yeah so just to step back a little bit earlier this week Trump went to the grave sites of some of the 13 US service members who were killed during that attack at Abby gate.
During that withdrawal from Afghanistan so Trump was using that as an opportunity as well to try and blame vice president Harris and President Biden for that chaotic withdrawal on the third anniversary the humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility and respect all around the world but filming in parts of.
The area of that cemetery is prohibited especially in this place that's called section 60 this is a very hallowed place so the Trump campaign according to the cemetery had known beforehand that filming was prohibited but they went ahead and did it anyways we lost 13 great great people and now the US Army in a very rare move has actually issued.
A response saying that a cemetery employee was abruptly pushed aside when they tried to enforce the rules the campaign plying ahead to take photos and videos defying Department of Defense policy which quote clearly prohibits political activities on Cemetery grounds well and this has gotten so nasty I mean when you hear the Trump campaign.
Spokesperson talk about this he's calling Army staffers hacks um you know it is illegal apparently to film for campaign purposes on at least this part of Arlington and yet we've seen Tik toks from this place now from the Trump campaign I mean are there potential legal repercussions to any of this so now the Army is saying that because this.
Cemetery staffer decided not to press charges they consider this case closed it's really the decision from the Army to make and and to pursue any other path forward the department right now is not doing that um and the Army we we stand behind the Army and considering this matter closed but their statement had a pretty big rebuke of the Trump campaign.
They called it a very unfortunate situation and clearly were unhappy that this Cemetery staffer was denigrated in comments from the Trump campaign the Trump campaign claimed that the cemetery staffer is the one who initiated the physical contact uh and they also added to say that President Trump was there to support gold star families where was.
Kamla Harris now the Harris campaign for their part says this is typical behavior for Donald Trump this is not a gross violation of federal law this is a president who did what all presidents to do show up there was a moment actually where JD Vance was on the trail and he was talking about this issue and he said that vice president Harris can quote go.
To hell she won't even do an investigation into what happened and she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up she can she can go to hell very strong language that we have not really heard before even though vice president Harris herself has not directly commented on this but clearly this controversy is continuing days.
After that visit well and the JD vness of it all I mean we you know we've been talking about the military obviously like not a group of people you want to offend like veterans but also like JD Vance certainly has not helped former president Trump when it comes to Women Voters with some of these past comments that have been earthed and I mean now.
You look at Nationwide polls just in the last 24 hours uh Wall Street Journal Harris up one Quinnipiac when you look at all these candidates together Harris up two Reuters Harris up 4 if you're Donald Trump how do you are is there anything to adjust right now on the trail yeah Brad well Donald Trump has significantly stepped up his campaigning.
In order to counter the rise of Vice President Harris clearly seeing that she's gaining ground in the polls so this week he and his running mate are really zeroing in on these Midwest Battleground States I'm announcing today in a major statement that under the Trump Administration your government will pay for or your insurance company.
Will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF and he's trying to broaden his appeal by taking a new tax on IVF treatment on these fertility treatments he said in an interview that he plans to make IVF treatment free under his possible second Administration he said he's going to be mandating that the insurance company pay now when he.
Was asked to clarify whether the government would pay for IVF or whether insurance companies would do so he said that one option would be to have insurance companies pay quote under a mandate now look the Harris campaign is responding to this saying that he's just posturing here that his new promise to make IVF treatment free is totally at.
Odds with his own record uh their campaign is also pointing to the GOP party platform which the Harris campaign says threatens IVF and would ban abortion Nationwide by establishing fetal personhood through the Constitution's 14th Amendment so big questions about how he would implement this where this would go.
If he would actually do it if he were in fact elected again I was going to say there there are moments where Donald Trump in the past has sort of said things that you know that don't necessarily happen and yet there are other times where he is really proposing bold new policy initiatives you kind of wonder which this would end up being.
Depending on how the rest of this campaign goes all right Selena Wang on the trail right now thank you so much thank you next up on starred here he was a star of the Ukrainian training program and in one of his first missions he's dead the new questions about American armed shipments after the.
Break if Ukraine's Expedition into Russia was meant to make Vladimir Putin bring back invading troops well that hasn't really happened bombing campaigns have continued on both sides of the border and now we've learned that earlier this week a Ukrainian pilot was killed when his F-16 crashed which of course is a big deal to the us since we.
Made those planes and signed off on them being given to Ukraine let's go to ABC's Louis Martinez at the Pentagon Louie there was this whole debate over whether country should be giving Ukraine f6s now we hear this what happened BR what happened was that Ukraine decided to use its f 16s for the first time to try to shoot down these ballistic missiles.
These cruise missiles drones that Russia launched at Ukraine earlier this week in large numbers one of the pilots was unfortunately uh piloting an aircraft that went down uh we are not sure exactly why it went down but we know that he uh died and that essentially it happened while he was protecting Ukraine.
From all this incoming fire Ukraine is is moving from Javelin s Stingers to p and f-16s now you're right this was um has been a real hot button issue for the United States and Ukraine uh Ukraine saying that it needed f-16s that it needed modern aircraft uh to try to combat the Russian invasion and now uh not only have they lost this aircraft.
But they've also lost a highly visible and highly trained pilot and I say visible because this was a pilot who had advocated for f-16s he had lobbied up on Capitol Hill and he was actually part of that first class of incoming Ukrainian pilots and now he's gone down in a crash well Louie does this I guess put in a new light some of these weapons and and.
Equipment that we are sending over to Ukraine because I mean Ukraine has also been saying like hey we want to be able to use americanmade weapons to to launch deeper into Russia H how big of an impact will this have on on the US when it comes to supplying Ukraine with arms Brad the level of sophisticated Weaponry that has been given to Ukraine is.
Incredible and some of these weapons require lots of training and lots of knowledge of how to use sophisticated equipment we're working with our NATO allies and ensure Ukraine is flying f-16s this summer and uh we show the world that we stand with Ukraine I think American officials have been really surprised at how well the.
Ukrainians have adapted to the use of these weapons as well as the the adaptations that they've made with the uses of drones on the battlefield and they they've been really surprised by it but one of the things that they really stressed was that the F6 is not like flying a MiG 29 which is what these Pilots were used.
To and that they had to know English this was a lengthy lengthy training program and even then um us officials were going to tell you especially us officials who have experienc in the F-16 we're going to tell you that that is not enough time to learn how to fly an F-16 with a lot of confidence especially if you're coming in from another airframe.
Um one of our colleague Steven ganard an ABC News contributor uh he's mentioned how uh it if he expects maybe hundreds of hours of flight time before an individual pilot uh can U be feeling really comfortable in an F16 if they've come in from another aircraft and again this was Advanced Training but again much shorter than what an American pilot.
Would have received well so then Louie if we're seeing this kind like you said these barrages of missiles and drones coming from Russia that's why Ukraine wanted to go up and defend themselves against that the other kind of trend I've been noticing in the last couple weeks is Russians and what ukrainians are hitting.
Like we've seen more and more attacks on either side of the border on energy infrastructure now I knew that Russia was doing this to Ukraine because they're like hey cold Winters are coming up we'll make just life miserable as possible we'll Corner these guys into basically having to surrender put their troops on the defensive why is Ukraine.
Doing this to Russia though I can't imagine they're going to weaken the entire Russian Federation well these are very high-profile attacks Brad I mean we are seeing the ukrainians launching really large numbers of drones at Targets that are very far away inside side of Russia they've developed new.
Technologies for drones they've developed these new uh longer flying drones that can reach deep into Russia and they are striking at infrastructure much like the Russians have been impacting their electric utility plants um and some of their infrastructure which has caused really a lot of uh damage and really brought down the.
Levels of Energy electric especially electricity inside of Ukraine we're seeing the ukrainians doing the same just a few weeks ago we saw this very large attack on a an oil facility uh nearby in uh rosta just across the border uh from Ukraine and that fire was huge and it it essentially caused an environmental situation for the.
Surrounding town and now we're seeing more attacks like that and I think those attacks can create a psychological blow I mean they are far far lower number than what the Russians have been launching against Ukraine but again at least they're doing this and they're showing new capability that I think gets noticed because if you're a.
Russian civilian in that area and you see a huge massive cloud of smoke um that's going on for days and hundreds of firefighters were trying to uh bring that fire down you're going to know that something really serious is taking place I see so like like Moscow is still going to have heat like Ukraine is not going to affect that but this can like kind of.
Affect whether Russia can organize its military in that western part of its country and I guess like you said the psychological impact of having Ukraine you know run rough shod over your troops Louis Martinez there at the Pentagon thank you so much thanks Brad when Dr Larry Nasser was convicted in 2017 for abusing young athletes and.
Then again in 2018 when he pleaded guilty to even more counts the reaction among gymnasts was relief but there was also anger at him at law enforcement who had taken years to properly investigate Nasser well when the FBI finally admitted its shortcomings in 2021 there was outrage we have been failed and we deserve answers the FBI made me feel.
Like my abuse didn't count and it wasn't a big deal they had legal legitimate evidence of child abuse and did nothing many said this was indicative of an even wider problem FBI director Christopher Ray promised he would make sure these lapses never happened again it's my commitment to you that I and my entire senior.
Leadership team are going to make Dam sure everybody at the FBI remembers what happened here so the bureau underwent a sweeping investigation from its own Watchdog the FBI Inspector General and yesterday the results of that investigation became public ABC's Alex Malin covers the justice department he's been reading through all this Alex what.
Did these investigators find yes so this is the Inspector General Michael hitz the Justice Department's lead inspector General and essentially what he reviewed was an audit of the 16 months after the Larry NASA report was released so this was all after all that public scrutiny and criticism was facing the FBI and after it also implemented a lot of.
Recommendations from the Inspector General to change its Behavior to change its policies to change its training and essentially what the Inspector General found was the FBI was still not following the letter of the policy and the law in investigating properly these claims of child sexual abuse concerns that led us to flag incidents included a.
Lack of recent investigative activity lack of logical investigative steps not reporting suspected child abuse to appropriate State local tribal and territorial agencies leads that weren't appropriately covered and instances of substantial non-compliance with FBI policies now what they did is in that.
16-month span Brad there were about 4,000 total child sexual abuse cases opened by the FBI they took randomly 327 and found 4 two of those cases of those 327 cases that they audited they were so insufficiently handled that they had to go back to the FBI and say Hey you really have to take a look at this kids might be in danger in these cases just.
Like the Larry Nasser cases so that's 133% and when you think about that it doesn't seem like that big of a number when you think about the victims the voices who may be actively ignored and may still be suffering uh at the hands of abuser it's a staggering figure and a real another black eye for the FBI to time where it's really trying to clean.
Up its reputation after the Nasser case right I was going to say and you said that sort of only a proportion of cases that they even looked at so that means that in addition to those 40-some that means that there's potentially hundreds and hundreds more what sort of stuff is being missed like are there examples of where law enforcement has been coming up.
Short well in one case that's really disturbing FBI agents were found to have failed to follow up on these allegations that involved abuse against a minor by a registered sex offender after they urged the FBI to follow up they ended up finding out that this offender actually victimized another additional minor for a period of approximately 15 months.
After they received that initial tip and Brad one of the reasons that's particularly disturbing is that in the Larry Nasser case the FBI took 15 months to actually initiate its proper investigation and indict him that was 15 months after they received that initial tip so it's just the kind of eerie nature of this report where it's not.
Just those high-profile instances where these things were happening where gymnasts were facing abuse but it's this minor also that we don't know the name of um and who you know their abuser did face Justice ultimately but how many months were they obviously you know facing that abuse isn't that's exactly what happened with the Larry Nasser case.
Right like eventual justice but at the cost of how many people in the meantime yeah and another issue that was found in this report Brad is that FBI agents in general they have an obligation to report anytime they get allegations of sexual abuse against children to you know state and local law enforcement agencies and also to Social Services.
Agencies when you look at the 327 cases that they actually audited they found that in 47% of the in instances that they reviewed they didn't find any evidence FBI employees properly did report those um allegations to State and local law enforcement agencies and in 50% of the cases half there was no evidence they reported the allegations.
To Social Services agencies now the FBI kind of explains that they believe that it's more of a lapse in paperwork they say you know we're commun with these agencies all the time maybe our agents don't specifically document it but on this briefing call with reporters yesterday Brad they did also acknowledge you know there was significant failures.
That are going to need to be addressed down the line what what has been the reaction first of all I'm just thinking from these like these gymnasts and their families that were kind of the impetus for this entire review what what are they saying you know they've been calling for systemic change in the FBI as a result of what happened to them and.
They are again out today after reviewing this report saying that it is up to Congress to change the laws to change the policies of the FBI and I will note Brad that the Senate Judiciary chairman um did announce yesterday that he is going to be calling FBI leadership to testify in the coming weeks on the recommendations that were issued by the.
IG in this report and why the FBI seemingly wasn't followed the initial some of the initial recommendations that were from the Larry NASA report it promises to be you know yet another dramatic hearing uh kind of like the one that we saw um in 2021 in the meantime the FBI is saying any mistake or deficiency is.
Unacceptable that the FBI recognizes that but then I mean you think about how high-profile these gymnasts were some some of them are Olympic medalists who were coming forward and to think even after there was all the scrutiny on the bureau that a lot of people with a lot less voice were still not getting the attention that they deserved that's.
According to the FBI Watchdog all right Alex Malin covering the doj thanks so much thanks BR okay one more quick break when we come back you know what water Engineers always say you're damned if you do damned if you don't one last thing is next and one last.
Thing everyone in Germany remembers where they were when the Berlin Wall came down well along the state line between California and Oregon this is just like that to fish yesterday demolition workers breached two huge dams that have been blocking off parts of the clamo river meaning as of this morning for the first.
Time in a century salmon are able to swim freely through this key Waterway this is the largest dam alition so far in what's really become a nationwide movement to restore rivers to their historic paths in fact according to the advocacy group American Rivers more than a thousand dams have been taken apart in the last 25 years alone but why after.
All dams can provide clean renewable electricity and they help set aside water in reservoirs in case of a drought some of the people taking this the hardest are also those who have bought homes along lakes that are now about to start drying out as water starts flowing again well first of all Native American tribes have long said these dams were.
Built without their input and that they deprived them of one of their natural lifelines the chinuk salmon you're are people uh the salmon the river that's that's our Highway that's our River that's our grocery store um Mother Earth gave us that and again it's it's about respect it's about balance these dams installed by power companies made native.
Land less valuable they weakened Wildlife populations that wait for salmon to migrate every year and in 2002 low river levels led to a huge bacterial outbreak the US government now acknowledges that many of these dams have devastated native communities around the country when we look at all the eras of federal Indian policy in.
This country um one of which um were dams across the entire country without ever once Consulting with tribes about what it meant to their lives or their cultures in some ways though tearing down this damn wall is the easy part the tough part will be restoring Riverbanks that have dried up for the last 100.
Years the California government is spending hundreds of millions of dollars after this demolition to help plant seeds that restore vegetation and heal the ecosystem native tribes have actually been saving billions of seeds that's billion with a be for this moment some government officials have been asked why spend all this money though.
Why not just sure let the water run but let nature run it course the answer is that we interfered with nature a century ago we didn't allow it to take its course so now we have to make it right quickly Wildlife experts say it won't take too long before the salmon start recolonizing what's theirs I'm just going swimmingly up.

Wall Harris back in 2020 called the border wall a medieval vanity project let me be very clear I'm not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances but at last week's convention she promised to move ahead with a bill that would continue building sections of a wall we saw a similar change in her stance on fracking back in 2019 she.

6.35% today's weather storms from St Louis to Chicago and Cleveland a flood risk along the Gulf Coast most of the West will be hot and dry and finally one mom who's more than just a cheerleader for her son Danny new has her story okay I'm going tell you where you messed up at look they say mother knows best and for 9-year-old Zar glanton Jr.
That includes when he's in the trenches zar when you're playing man like what words from your mom are you kind of hearing in your head Su that quarterback Zara's favorite position to play is defensive end and when his mom tarica gets home from her job as a social services director they will square up in the yard.
Of their Florida home and get to work I want saxs every day all day um when he's in the game of course now tarica has loved football since she was a cheerleader in high school but this all started when zar first joined a team at 5 years old he was so excited but the problem was he just was not getting any play time I knew I had to do something.
You was down the first thing you did was stood it straight up no so Mom stepped in and started training Zar herself within a year she says he became a full-time starter on both offense and defense four years later and as you can imagine she is just as passionate is it like sir sack that quarterback yep.
Lad in that not to mention in the past few months their workout videos have exploded online Gathering millions of views commenters writing you're a mother any child would be blessed to have and I see your mom with the shake and bake go in the backfield then sack them kill them this week they even made an.
Appearance on Sports Center showing folks how strong their connection is both on and off the field but especially on I'm so proud of you I really am by the way guys it also runs in the family A little because Zar is actually cousins with NFL star jayen Carter former national champion at Georgia and current defensive lineman for my Eagles.
So that probably helps a little right guys that it does have a great weekend see you it's Friday August 30th you're going to challenge the Trump campaign you and what army we start here the US military publicly rebukes the Trump campaign over a cemetery.
Scuffle and clearly we're unhappy that this Cemetery staffer was denigrated in comments from the Trump campaign this is quickly escalated to a campaign Trail crisis meanwhile kamla Harris and Tim Walls give their first interview we're breaking it all down Ukraine was warned you can't just pick up an F-16 now a pilot is dead some of these weapons.
Require a lot of training has too little too late given way to too much too soon and the FBI promised they would learn the numbers say they didn't it's a staggering figure and a real another black eye for the FBI the damning new Watchdog report on sexual abuse investigations from ABC News this is start here I'm Brad.
milky I like to thank great vice president K Harris she experienced she's tough she's capable it's been almost 6 weeks since President Biden decided not to seek reelection and endorsed vice president kamla Harris to take his place and while Harris has spent those last six weeks reintroducing herself to.
Voters consolidating support picking a VP candidate of her own there's one thing she hasn't done she hasn't sat down for an interview with a broadcast journalist she's been asking Americans for their votes but she hasn't been willing to answer these repeated pressing questions well last night Harris gave an interview a joint.
Interview with her running mate Tim Walls to CNN what would you do on day one in the white house well there are a number of things I will tell you first and foremost one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class from the jump Harris focused on the middle class.
She told CNN's Dana Bash about character about keeping Donald Trump out of office but she was really focused here on economics expanding the child tax credit providing money for firsttime home buyers which leads to the million-dollar question though the question that Harris is going to have to continue explaining to the American people how did any of.
Your policies differ from the guy who had to stop running from President Biden who himself has become associated with the crisis of affordability you maintain bomic is a success I maintain that when we do the work of bringing down prescription medication for the American people including capping the cost of the annual cost of prescription medication.
For seniors at $2,000 haris spelled out a number of accomplishments on drug prices on the inflation reduction act and defended her president I'll say that that's good work there's more to do but that's good work but she's also going to have to spell out her disagreements not just with Biden but even with herself with the views she held in the.
Past I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking and to me this was the most fascinating back and forth of this interview Harris was asked about the controversial technique of hydraulic fracturing fracking which is used extensively in places like Pennsylvania she said she had committed back in 2020.
Not to ban fracking but danab bash pointed out while on the campaign Trail in 2019 Harris had said she would so what changed for many moments Harris wouldn't answer she kept describing how her values haven't changed regardless of policy but finally she admitted she had moderated her stance we can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy.
Economy without Banning fracking she was asked about her race rather former president Donald Trump's baseless assertion that she had portrayed herself as indianamerican rather than black and Indian any same old tired Playbook next question please that's it that's it she didn't want to make a meal out of it we'd seen this at the.
Convention too let others get personal seem to be the strategy you're trying to portray yourself as a commanderin-chief she even hinted that she would be open to Reaching Across the aisle on cabinet positions will you appoint a republican to your cabinet yes I would anyone in mind I would no no one in particular in mine I got a we got 68 days to go with.
This election so I'm not putting a car before the horse but I would I think now notice there was a difference between saying I will choose a Republican and I would choose a republican it's a little bit more conditional right like I would if the right person person comes along we'll see so we'll see whether she treats this like a promise or a.
Consideration but this is the reason why interviews like this are so useful and why the calls for them will continue meanwhile on the other side former president Donald Trump's campaign has gone to battle over something that happened at one of America's most sacred sites the Trump campaign facing criticism for the former president's.
Visit to Arlington National Cemetery Cemetery officials said there was a campaign photography related incident it's kind of reached a boiling point with the military yesterday so let's check in with ABC's senior White House correspondent Selina Wang who's been traveling with the Trump campaign she was in Michigan where he spoke yesterday.
Selena first off can you just I guess paint the picture for us of what allegedly happened earlier this week at Arlington Cemetery yeah so just to step back a little bit earlier this week Trump went to the grave sites of some of the 13 US service members who were killed during that attack at Abby gate during that withdraw from.
Afghanistan so Trump was using that as an opportunity as well to try and blame vice president Harris and President Biden for that chaotic withdrawal on the third anniversary the humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility and respect all around the world but filming in parts of the area of that cemetery is prohibited.
Especially in this place that's called section 60 this is a very hallowed place so the Trump campaign according to the cemetery had known beforehand that filming was prohibited but they went ahead and did it anyways we lost 13 great great people and now the US Army in a very rare move has actually issued a response saying that a cemetery.
Employee was abruptly pushed aside when they tried to enforce the rules the campaign plying ahead to take photos and videos defying Department of Defense policy which quote clearly prohibits political activities on Cemetery grounds well and this has gotten so nasty I mean when you hear the Trump campaign spokesperson talk about this he's.
Calling Army staffers hacks um you know it is illegal apparently to film for campaign purposes on at least this part of Arlington and yet we've seen tick toks from this place now from the Trump campaign I mean are are there potential legal repercussions to any of this so now the Army is saying that because this Cemetery staffer decided not to press.
Charges they consider this case closed it's really the decision for the Army to make and and to pursue any other path forward the department right now is not doing that um and the Army we we stand behind the Army and considering this matter closed but their statement had a pretty big rebuke of the Trump campaign they called it a very unfortunate.
Situation and clearly we're unhappy that this Cemetery staffer was denigrated in comments from the Trump campaign the Trump campaign claimed that the cemetery staffer is the one who initiated ated the physical contact uh and they also added to say that President Trump was there to support gold star families where was kamla Harris now the Harris.
Campaign for their part says this is typical behavior for Donald Trump this is not a gross violation of federal law this is a president who did what all presidents to do show up there was a moment actually where JD Vance was on the trail and he was talking about this issue and he said that vice president Harris can quote go to hell she won't.
Even do investigation into what happened and she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up she can she can go to hell very strong language that we have not really heard before even though vice president Harris herself has not directly commented on this but clearly this controversy is continuing days after that visit well and the JD vness.
Of it all I mean we you know we've been talking about the military obviously like not a group of people you want to offend like veterans but also like JD Vance certainly has not helped former president Trump when it comes to Women Voters with some of these past comments that have been Unearthed I mean now you look at Nationwide polls just in the.
Last 24 hours uh Wall Street Journal Harris up one Quinnipiac when you look at all these candidates together Harris up two Reuters Harris up 4 if you're Donald Trump how do you are is there anything to adjust right now on the trail yeah Brad well Donald Trump has significantly stepped up his campaigning in order to counter the rise of Vice.
President Harris clearly seeing that she's gaining ground in the polls so this week he and his running mate are really zeroing in on these Midwest Battleground States I'm announcing today in a major statement that under the Trump Administration your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs.
Associated with IVF and he's trying to broaden his appeal by taking a new tax on IVF treatment on these fertility treatments he said an interview that he plans to make IVF treatment free under his possible second Administration he said he's going to be mandating that the insurance company pay now when he was asked to clarify whether the government.
Would pay for IVF or whether insurance companies would do so he said that one option would be to have insurance companies pay quote under a mandate now look the Harris campaign is responding to this saying that he's just posturing here that his new promise to make IVF treatment free is to toally at odds with his own record uh their campaign is also.
Pointing to the GOP party platform which the Harris campaign says threatens ibf and would ban abortion Nationwide by establishing fetal personhood through the Constitution's 14th Amendment so big questions about how he would implement this where this would go if he would actually do it if he were in fact elected again I was going to say.
There there are moments where Donald Trump in the past has sort of said things that you know that don't necessarily happen and yet there are other times where he is really proposing bold new policy initiatives you kind of wonder which this would end up being depending on how the rest of this campaign goes all right Selena Wang on.
The trail right now thank you so much thank you if Ukraine's Expedition into Russia was meant to make Vladimir Putin bring back invading troops well that hasn't really happened bombing campaigns have continued on both sides of the border and now we've learned that earlier this week a Ukrainian pilot was killed when.
His F-16 crashed which of course is a big deal to the us since we made those planes and signed off on them being given to Ukraine let's go to ABC's Louis Martinez at the Pentagon Louis there was this whole debate over whether country should be giving Ukraine f-16s now we hear this what happened BR what happened was that Ukraine decided to use its.
F-16s for the first time to try to shoot down these ballistic missiles these cruise missiles drones that Russia launched at Ukraine earlier this week in large numbers one of the pilots was unfortunately uh piloting an aircraft that went down uh we are not sure exactly why it went down but we know.
That he uh died and that essentially it happened while he was protecting Ukraine from all this incoming fire Ukraine is moving from javelins and Stingers to p and f-16s now you're right this was um has been a real hot button issue for the United States and Ukraine uh Ukraine saying that it needed f-16s that it needed modern aircraft uh to try to.
Combat the Russian invasion and now uh not only have they lost this aircraft but they've also lost a highly visible and highly trained pilot and I say visible because this was a pilot who had advocated for f-16s he had lobbied up on Capitol Hill and he was actually part of that first class of incoming Ukrainian pilots and now he's gone down in a crash.
Well Louie does this I guess put in a new light some of these weapons and and equipment that we are sending over to Ukraine cuz I mean Ukraine has also been saying like hey we want to be able to use americanmade weapons to to launch deeper into Russia H how big of an impact will this have on on the US when it comes to supplying Ukraine with arms.
Brad the level of sophisticated Weaponry that has been given to Ukraine is incredible and some of these weapons require lots of training and lots of knowledge of how to use sophisticated equipment we're working with our NATO allies to ensure Ukraine is flying up 16s this summer and uh we show the world that we stand with Ukraine I think.
American officials have been really surprised at how well the ukrainians have adapted to the use of these weapons as well as the the adaptations that they've made with the uses of drones on the battlefield and they they've been really surprised by it but one of the things that they really stressed was that the F-16 is not like flying a mig29.
Which is what these Pilots were used to and that they had to know English this was a lengthy lengthy training program program and even then um us officials were going to tell you especially us officials who have experience in the F-16 we're going to tell you that that is not enough time to learn how to fly an F-16 with a lot of.
Confidence especially if you're coming in from another airframe um one of our colleague Steven ganard an ABC News contributor uh he's mentioned how uh if he expects maybe hundreds of hours of flight time before an individual pilot uh can U be feeling really comfortable in an F-16 if they've come in from another aircraft and again this was.
Advanced Training but again much shorter than what an American pilot would have received well so then Louie if we're seeing this kind like you said these barrages of missiles and drones coming from Russia that's why Ukraine wanted to go up and defend themselves against that the other kind of trend I've been noticing in the last couple weeks is.
Russians and what ukrainians are hitting like we've seen more and more attacks on either side of the border on energy infrastructure now I knew that Russia was doing this to Ukraine cuz they're like hey cold Winters are coming up we'll make just life miserable as possible will Corner these guys into basically having to surrender put their.
Troops on the defensive why is Ukraine doing this to Russia though I can't imagine they're going to weaken the entire Russian Federation well these are very high-profile attacks Brad I mean we are seeing the ukrainians launching really large numbers of drones at Targets that are very far away inside of Russia they've developed new.
Technologies for drones they've developed these new uh longer flying drones that can reach deep into Russia and they are striking at infrastructure much like the Russians have been impacting their electric utility plants um and some of their infrastructure which has caused really a lot of uh damage and really brought down the.
Levels of energy electri especially electricity inside of Ukraine we're seeing the ukrainians doing the same just a few weeks ago we saw this very large attack on a an oil facility uh nearby in uh rosta just across the border uh from Ukraine and that fire was huge and it it essentially caused an environmental situation for the.
Surrounding town and now we're seeing more attacks like that and I think those attacks can create a psychological blow I mean they are far far lower in number than what the Russians have been launching against Ukraine but again at least they're doing this and they're showing new capability that I think uh gets noticed because if you're a Russian.
Civilian in that area and you see a huge massive cloud of smoke um that's going on for days and hundreds of firefighters who were trying to uh bring that fire down you're going to know that something really serious has taking place I see so like like Moscow is still going to have heat like Ukraine is not going to affect that but this can like kind of affect.
Whether Russia can organize its military in that western part of its country and I guess like you said the psychological impact of having Ukraine you know run rough shod over your troops Louis Martinez there at the Pentagon thank you so much thanks Brad when Dr Larry Nasser was convicted in 2017 for abusing young athletes and.
Then again in 2018 when he pleaded guilty to even more counts the reaction among gymnasts was relief but there was also anger at him at law enforcement who had taken years to properly investigate Nasser well when the FBI finally admitted its shortcomings in 2021 there was outrage we have been failed and we deserve answers the FBI made me feel.
Like my abuse didn't count and it wasn't a big deal they had legal legitimate EV evidence of child abuse and did nothing many said this was indicative of an even wider problem FBI director Christopher Ray promised he would make sure these lapses never happened again it's my commitment to you that I and my entire senior.
Leadership team are going to make damn sure everybody at the FBI remembers what happened here so the bureau underwent a sweeping investigation from its own Watchdog the FBI Inspector General and yesterday the results of that investigation became public ABC's Alex Malin covers the justice department he's been reading through all this Alex what.
Did these investigators find yeah so this is the Inspector General Michael hitz the Justice Department's lead inspector General and essentially what he reviewed was an audit of the 16 months after the Larry NASA report was released so this was all after all that public scrutiny and criticism was facing the FBI and after it also implemented a.
Lot of recommendations from the Inspector General to change its Behavior to change its policies to change its training and essentially what the Inspector General found was the FBI was still not following the letter of the policy and the law in investigating properly these claims of child sexual abuse concerns that led us to flag.
Incidents included a lack of recent investigative activity lack of logical investigative steps not reporting suspected child abuse to appropriate State local tribal and territorial agencies leads that weren't appropriately covered and instances of substantial non-compliance with FBI policies now.
What they did is in that 16-month span Brad there were about 4,000 total child sexual abuse cases opened by the FBI they took randomly 327 and found 42 of those cases of those 327 cases that they audited they were so insufficiently handled that they had to go back to the FBI and say Hey you really have to take a look at this kids might be in danger.
In these cases just like the Larry Nasser cases so that's 133% and when you think about that it doesn't seem like that big of a number when you think about the victims the voices who may be actively ignored and may still be suffering uh at the hands of abuser it's a staggering figure and a real another black eye for the FBI at a time where.
It's really trying to clean up its reputation after the Nasser case right I was going to say and you said that sort of only a proportion of cases that they even looked at so that means that in addition to those 40 something that means that there's potentially hundreds and hundreds more what sort of stuff is being missed like are there examples of.
Where law enforcement has been coming up short well in one case that's really disturbing FBI agents were found to have failed to follow up on these allegations that involved abuse against a minor by a registered sex offender after they urged the FBI to follow up they ended up finding out that this offender actually victimized another additional minor for.
A period of approximately 15 months after they received that initial tip and Brad one of the reasons that's particularly disturbing is that in the Larry Nasser case the FBI took 15 months to actually initiate its proper investigation and indict him that was 15 months after they received that initial tip so it's just the kind of eerie.
Nature of this report where it's not just those high-profile instances where these things were happening where gymnasts were facing abuse but it's this minor also that we don't know the name of um and who you know their abuser did face Justice ultimately but how many months were they obviously you know facing that abuse isn't that's exactly.
What happened with the Larry Nasser case right like eventual justice but at the cost of how many people in the meantime yeah and another issue that was found in this report Brad is that FBI agents in general they have an obligation to report anytime they get allegations of sexual abused against children to you know state and local law enforcement.
Agencies and also to Social Services agencies when you look at the 327 cases that they actually audited they found that in 47% of the in instances that they reviewed they didn't find any evidence FBI employees properly did report those um allegations to State and local law enforcement agencies and in 50% of the cases half there was no.
Evidence they reported the allegations to Social Services agencies now the FBI kind of explains that they believe that it's more of a lapse in paperwork they say you know we're communicating with these agencies all the time maybe our agents don't specifically document it but on this briefing call with reporters yesterday Brad they did also acknowledge.
You know there were significant failures that are going to need to addressed down the line what what has been the reaction first of all I'm just thinking from these like these gymnasts and their families that were kind of the impetus for this entire review what what are they saying you know they've been calling for systemic change in the FBI.
As a result of what happened to them and they are again out today after reviewing this report saying that it is up to Congress to change the laws to change the policies of the FBI and I will note Brad that the Senate Judiciary chairman um did announce yesterday that he is going to be calling FBI leadership to testify in the coming weeks on the.
Recommendations that were issued by the IG in this report and why the FBI seemingly wasn't followed the initial some of the initial recommendations that were from the Larry NASA report it promises to be you know yet another dramatic hearing uh kind of like the one that we saw um in 2021 in the meantime the FBI is saying.
Any mistake or deficiency is unacceptable that the FBI recognizes that but then I mean you think about how high-profile these gymnasts were some some of them are Olympic medalists who were coming forward and to think even after there was all the scrutiny on on the bureau that a lot of people with a lot less voice were still not getting.
The attention that they deserved that's according to the FBI Watchdog all right Alex malan covering the doj thanks so much thanks BR and one last thing everyone in Germany remembers where they were when the Berlin Wall came down well along the state line between California and Oregon this is.
Just like that to fish yesterday demolition workers breached two huge dams that have been blocking off parts of the clamo river meaning as of this morning for the first time in a century salmon are able to swim freely through this key Waterway this is the largest dam elition so far in what's really become a nationwide.
Movement to restore rivers to their historic paths in fact according to the advocacy group American Rivers more than a thousand dams have been taken apart in the last 25 years alone but why after all dams can provide clean renewable electricity and they help set up side water in reservoirs in case of a drought some of the people taking this the.
Hardest are also those who have bought homes along lakes that are now about to start drying out as water starts flowing again well first of all Native American tribes have long said these dams were built without their input and that they deprived them of one of their natural lifelines the chanuk salmon you are people the salmon the river that's.
That's our Highway that's our River that's our grocery store um Mother Earth's G gave us that and again it's it's about respect it's about balance these dams installed by power companies made native land less valuable they weakened Wildlife populations that wait for salmon to migrate every year and in 2002 low river levels led to a huge.
Bacterial outbreak the US government now acknowledges that many of these dams have devastated native communities around the country when we look at all the eras of federal Indian policy in this country um one of which which um were dams across the entire country without ever once Consulting with tribes about.
What it meant to their lives or their cultures in some ways though tearing down this damn wall is the easy part the tough part will be restoring river banks that have dried up for the last 100 years the California government is spending hundreds of millions of dollars after this demolition to help plant seeds that restore vegetation and heal.
The ecosystem native tribes have actually been saving billions of seeds that's billion with a be for this moment some government officials have been asked why spend all this money though why not just sure let the water run but let nature run its course the answer is that we interfered with nature a century ago we didn't allow it to take its.
Course so now we have to make it right quickly Wildlife experts say it won't take too long before the salmon start recolonizing what's theirs I'm just going swimmingly up there in Oregon now very sophisticated very damn your start here is produced by Kelly TZ Jen Newman Brenda Selenas Baker via Aronson Cameron Tavian Anthony Ali.

About her plans for a first day in office with running mate Tim wals and about the moment she learned President Biden was dropping out former president Trump breaks rank with some members of his party if elected the republican nominees now vo to make IVF treatment free what he's saying on Reproductive Rights with just.
11 days until the presidential debate mosquito dangers in America Health officials are on alert as West Nile cases are reported in dozens of states which areas have the highest concern and what officials are urging families to do the holiday travel Rush is getting ready for their busiest day of the.
Weekend the best and worst times to head out plus where severe storms are posing the biggest threat and stressfree tips for packing kids lunch how to make sure your kids get the nutrition they need at school while saving time and money Megan from feeding Littles is here with her top hacks but we begin with vice president.
Harris laying out her top priorities in her first TV interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate speaking with CNN Haring Harris and running mate Tim wals laid out plans for the potential first day in office and responded to criticism about policy shifts and misleading statements and for the first time Harris described the.
Surprise moment President Biden told her he was dropping out ABC News chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce has more nearly six weeks into her campaign kamla Harris overnight forced to explain her policy shifts but arguing one thing has not changed I think the the the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is.
My values have not changed asked if she still wants to ban fracking something she'd vowed in 2019 Harris saying this no and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking as vice president I did not ban fracking as president I will not ban fracking and on whether she stands by her 2019 support for decriminalizing.
Illegal border crossings I believe there should be consequence we have laws that have to be followed and enforced running mate Tim Walls forced to explain what the Trump campaign has criticized as his misleading statements about his military service and his family's struggle with infertility I think people know who I am they know that record they've seen that.
I've taught thousands of students I've been out there and um I I won't apologize for speaking passionately whether it's guns in schools or protecting of Reproductive Rights and for for the first time Harris recalling that surprise Sunday Morning phone call from the president informing her he was dropping out of the race my family was.
Staying with us and um including my baby nieces and we had just had pancakes and we were sitting down to to do a puzzle and the phone rang and it was Joe Biden I asked him are you sure and he said yes and uh um but that's how I learned about it asked if he offered his endorsement then or if she asked for it Harris saying.
Only and he was very clear that he was going to support me now 40 Days Later Harris is surging in the polls narrowly leading Donald Trump nationally asked what she would do on day one Harris light on specifics day one it's going to be about one implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um.
Proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in families she's adamant in defending her and Biden's record on the economy but concedes there's more to do but that's good work hoping to appeal to.
Republican voters Harris suggesting if elected she would appoint a republican to her cabinet I think it's important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views different experiences and I think um it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my cabinet who was a.
Republican and with just 11 days to go until the debate har is preparing for her first face off with Donald Trump and their first face-to-face meeting ever asked about Trump's attacks on her race and identity same old tired Playbook next question please it's clear her race and gender is something Harris would rather not dwell on though the.
Historic nature of her nomination clearly not lost on her either when asked about that Viral image of her great niece watching her at the convention and I am running because I believe that I am the best person to do this job at this moment um for all Americans regardless of race and gender um but I did see that photograph and I.
Was deeply touched by it and you're right she's it's the back of her head her two little braids and um and then I'm in the front of the photograph obviously speaking and um it's very humbling ABC's chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce joins me now for more on this Mary during her.
Campaign events vice president Harris gives this impression that her Administration would be a fresh start but the policies in her interview sounded very familiar so are there any real differences compared to what President Biden was selling on the trail well Diane we still aren't hearing her really offer you know that much.
Daylight between her policies and and what the Biden Administration you know has been doing what the president was promising to do going forward she has yet fully to really articulate how her agenda would differ what is different here though of course you know is the tone uh and the fact that she is promising to turn the page it is clear.
She is eager to do that while she is defending and very much running on her record of accomplishments with the president she's vowing to keep that work and that momentum going forward but also vowing to turn the page and by that I think she means that it is time you know for for a fresh generation for a new team to come and yes carry on the mantle.
Of Biden's work but to do it in her own way but you are not wrong she has been very light on specifics uh and I think it is something that you are going to continue to hear her being pressed about of course up next uh in just about 11 days now on that debate stage here on ABC News on September 10th Diane and Mary the war in Gaza is a topic that has.
Divided the Democratic party but in this interview it sounds like has plans to keep the same policies in place so is she alienating progressives in her party with that plan look she certainly is facing the same kind of pressure that President Biden has been facing I mean just at her rally here last night in Savannah she.
Faced again protesters you know urging her to do more to address the humanitarian crisis and the suffering in Gaza this is an area where we have seen a bit of a difference and certainly a shift in tone from the president she's more forceful in coming out and speaking about the need to do more to to to address the humanitarian crisis the.
Suffering that we are seeing in Gaza but but no on a policy perspective look she is not you know promising to change anything when it come when it comes to arms or anything like that that are being provided to Israel she has been adamant and steadfast in her support for Israel's certainly their right to defend itself but yet she has also spoken out.
About the need to get this deal done to get that hostage deal done and of course that is what progressives are demanding that President Biden be able to deliver on his promises to end this war she is vowing to do that to continue to keep up the fight to get a ceasefire deal done and to bring the hostages home Diane and Mary based on the reaction you're.
Hearing so far what kind of an impact do you think this interview will have on the campaign well certainly look I think I think this was a Do no harm kind of interview for kamla Harris she succeeded in the fact that she was able to get this interview done she didn't make any big waves didn't make any big headlines.
But that also is considered a win you know in many ways she was under a lot of pressure to do this interview she can now check that box and look ahead uh she was methodical in her answers she she she you know was forced to defend those shift shifting stances from the last time she ran for president I think it was sort of a familiar tone from a lot.
Of that that Americans are familiar with you know her her going back to those talking points ticking through uh her positions um but certainly she was under a lot of pressure to do this she has now done that and she can go ahead to the next big challenge Diane all right and we know that'll be the debate ABC News chief White House correspondent Mary.
Bruce thanks Mary meanwhile former president Trump is making a bold new campaign promis to make IVF free if he's elected he vowed to make either the government or insurance companies pay for the fertility treatment during a town hall in Wisconsin now Democrats are criticizing him for not giving any details on how he will do that ABC.
Selena Wang has more from Lacrosse Wisconsin Donald Trump floats a striking new proposal as he suddenly tries to Rebrand himself on women's Reproductive Rights an issue that he knows could hurt him at the polls in November Trump claiming that he would make invitro fertilization free if elected without providing any specifics on how he would.
Pay for this costly plan or enact it under the Trump Administration your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment IVF can cost tens of thousands of dollars with nearly 990,000 babies born in the US through fertility treatments each year we want to produce.
Babies in this country right we want to produce babies vice president kamla Harris campaign telling ABC News Donald Trump's own platform could effectively ban IVF and abortion Nationwide Trump lies as much if not more than he breathes but voters aren't stupid Trump making this proposal despite repeatedly bragging about appointing three of the.
Supreme Court Justices who overturned Row versus Wade opening the door to new restrictions for fertility treatments we broke Ro Wade and we did something that nobody thought was possible we gave it back to the States earlier this year Alabama Supreme Court declared Frozen embryos human beings entitled to full rights causing fertility clinics across.
The state to shut down for weeks a new poll finding Harris has a 16-point advantage over Trump on who voters trust more to handle the issue of abortion in his own home state of Florida Trump now saying he opposes the state's ban on abortion at 6 weeks before most women even know they're pregnant I think the six week is too short uh it has to be.
More time and so that's and I've told them that I want more weeks Trump contradicting his own statements that the issue of abortion should be left to the States but Trump's campaign attempting to appease his anti-abortion base later saying he has not yet decided how he will vote he simply reiterated that he believes six weeks is too.
Short over the years Donald Trump has flipped flopped on the issue of abortion but his focus on IVF is clearly an attempt to blunt vice president Harris's attacks that he would rip away women's reproductive freedoms Diane ABC News senior White House correspondent Selena Wang thank you and September 10th vice president Harris and former president.

Life a little easier and today we have a special guest here to help save us some time and stress when packing school lunches co-founder of feeding little registered nutritionist Megan mnam is here to show us how it's done Megan I'm so excited to talk to you and I'm sure so many parents right now are waiting to hear what you have to say because it can.
Be tough in the hustle and bustle of the morning to figure out what the heck am I going to put in this lunch box so I know that you specialize in maternal and child nut nutrition so let's start there right we all want our kids eating fruits and veggies but if you have a picky eater how do you get them to eat that at school when you're not even there right.
So school lunch is a little tough because you don't have a lot of control over what happens when you're there but it's all about what you pack in the lunch and you can only do your best in putting in some balance and exposure and variety every time you pack but it doesn't have to be complicated that's something that I think a lot of parents.
Miss they think that it has to be colorful with like a rainbow in every single lunch or that they have to do you know a googly eyeball or a funny shape to make their kid eat it lunches can be simple we just recommend following kind of a a method to um to making sure that it's balanced so you want a carbohydrate a protein a fruit a veggie and then.
Either a dip or a chip or some sort of dessert in there to make sure that it's balanced and they're getting that exposure to all those different foods and so it what if you don't want to waste it cuz you feel like I know I'm sending this you know lunchbox full of stuff and I know the broccoli coming back or the carrots are going to be.
Uneaten right the dip the dessert part that's going to be gone so that can be frustrating right you don't want to waste food right absolutely one thing you can do and I actually can show you in this box here you guys can see this I don't have a special overh head camera in my house unfortunately but we have one piece of bell pepper in here one.
Piece that's it and that's exposure to bell pepper and then if they don't eat it it's only one bell pepper wasted now mind you it's a lunch comes back cold because you kept it on you know two ice packs we recommend like a thin ice pack on the top and the bottom if it still comes back cold then it is still safe to eat so it can be something your kid can.
Also eat after school if they're interested or if it wants to be your snack after the end of the day too you know it doesn't necessarily have to be wasted if it's still safe I have definitely been the scavenger that goes through my kids' lunchbox and eats what's left over so I'm glad that that's a safe thing to do um talk to me about.
Leftovers too because you say you can just utilize leftovers so what are some of your favorite leftover to serve for lunch and any tips to save on prep time there yes I like packing at night the night before because I like making food and getting the kitchen messy all at once and then popping it into the lunch box and being being done with it then.
It's going into the fridge and the next day take it out put it on the ice packs and send it to school I only dirty my kitchen one time and then I can use anything that I'm prepping for dinner or any leftovers for dinner to pop in the lunch box so I'm going to show you an example here this is actually what my kids are having today bow tii pasta some.
Meatballs and blueberries and carrot chips and there's a little marinara sauce in the middle for dip my kids literally take the the bowai pasta and they dip it and they love this this is one of their favorites it's not complicated and it's something that I made for dinner last night and I can literally pop in serve cold and give to.
Them for lunch the next day it's again it's all about that formula stick to just that balance of nutrients but it doesn't have to be super complicated that is so creative one the serve cold part I'm not sure I would have thought of that and the sauce as a dip I love that and then as you're peeling and cutting things for dinner you just throw.
It right in the lunch box we go to school really early there is no way I would be able to make lunches in the morning I would exactly it just wouldn't happen so I have to do it at night and it stays really nice especially if you have a lunch box that has multiple containers that are and you know sealed when you shut the box it.
Actually stays really well until the next day uh all right one more question for before you make it I still have memories of biting into my turkey tomato sandwich as a kid which I loved for some reason but one side of the bread was always soggy by lunch how do you prevent your sandwiches from becoming that kind of mushy soggy texture yes that's such a.
Great great question because I think a lot of us relate to that sandwiches get soggy from the uh especially if there's moisture in the ingredients inside if that tomato obviously that to me it was pretty juicy so it sounds really counterintuitive but one of the best things you can do is put the spread on both sides of the sandwich so on both.
Pieces of bread I'm going to show you it's not turkey but this is sunflower seed butter I put it on both sides of the bread and then when I add smashed raspberries which by the way is so good if you haven't tried this it's really tasty smash up some raspberries literally with a fork on the bread and then when you seal it together that.
Bread doesn't get soggy the The Raspberries don't go through because that sunflower seed butter is creating that nice little layer okay wait one I love the tip for this no soggy bread but smash raspberries it's kind of like a peanut butter and jelly but without all the extra sugar that often comes in the jelly we buy at the store well and you.
Know jell is great too but it's so tasty like it's delicious and it's a great way to try fruit and if you're a PBJ fan this is a nice Twist on it it's actually something that I eat all the time I love it and my kids love it and it's you know killing multiple birds with one stone here I am going to try that one Megan thank you so much it's always so great.
To talk to you I love your ideas thank you big hugs to Judy as well for us the other Duo as part of feeding Littles and remember Megan's new book feeding Littles lunches is available now anywhere you get books and remember here at M methas what problem do you want hacked send me a message on Instagram at Dian rmo and we just might tackle it in.

The US doctors say a Missouri teen is on a ventilator with complications from the West Nile Virus and now more cases of Triple E virus are being reported across the Northeast ABC News Ariel rashev has the details as teams in New York City and along the northeast unleash an attack on mosquitoes from the air and streets.
Health officials in Wisconsin confirming two people have now died in that state from West Nile Virus nearly 290 cases reported across more than 30 States the mosquito transmitted illness accounting for 100 to 200 deaths each year in Missouri 18-year-old John Proctor the 6 now on aent V Ator Contracting the disease early this month his parents say.
Symptoms started with headaches and dizziness then spiraled into vomiting disorientation and a dangerous fever and to see him lethargic and struggle to do simple basic functions it's hard the doctors describe this as a marathon to beat this virus since there's no actual cure for it many who get West Nile may not ever feel sick but one out of every.
150 people infected May develop serious even fatal ill ESS and concern about another rare but potentially lethal mosquito born virus Triple E with six people sickened in at least five states and there is no vaccine to prevent these mosquito born infections and those severe cases and death are very rare officials in several States.
Including here in New York are urging people to limit outdoor activity From Dusk to Dawn until the first Frost Diane ABC News Ariel RF thank you and it's time now for our weekly seg Patel it like it is where ABC News contributor Dr l p Patel shares Health advice on the topics that matter most to you and today he's answering some of your questions so.
Dr Patel let's start with these concerns over mosquito born illnesses that Ariel just mentioned because our first question comes from grace who asks are there allnatural or DIY mosquito repellents you can make at home popular question and a very timely one the most allnatural way to protect yourself against mosquitoes is to create.
A barrier staying indoors wearing clothing using mosquito Nets but when it comes to repellents which are extremely important you want to make sure you are using EPA registered repellent you can sometimes see on a bottle if you look at a store and it might see on the back registered with the EPA or you can even go online to the Environmental.
Protection agency's website and look up those ingredients these are repellants that may have ingredients such as DEET PMD or oil of Lemon Eucalyptus there are other products that may contain something like citronella pepper oil cinnamon oil they smell great but they're not as effective so it's important you look at EPA registered you.
Use the repellent exactly as directed you don't put them on broken skin and sunscreen first sometimes those products like those fancy candles they may smell great but they're not that effective at keeping mosquitoes away I also want to ask you about an unpublished study that found that sleeping in on weekends can reduce the negative impacts of weekday.
Sleep loss lowering the risk of heart disease by up to 20% now this has yet to be vetted through the normal scientific review process but I wanted to get your your take on the headline here what do you make of this Dan I feel like I can already see the wheels turning in your head right now but know you say sleep I'm.
Like this is an unpublished study meaning it's not been peer-reviewed as you mentioned from the European Society of Congress and it did find that you know people who are sleep to priv when they catch up on sleep over the weekends over time it can reduce your risk of heart disease now there's a couple as risks number one the study did not.
Exactly Define how much sleep people needed to quote catch up on on weekends to receive these benefits I also want to mention that in this study the authors Define sleep deprivation at less than seven hours of sleep which I would venture to say a lot of people get under seven hours of sleep regularly so it's important that we remember that regular.
Consistent sleep of eight hours a day all days of the week is what you really need to do to optimize your health and it's hard to say if extra sleep on the weekends was really the reason people that improved heart health or if it was the extra sleep leading to decreased stress or some other aspect of their life so takeaway is don't just rely on.
Weekends to catch up on your sleep please try to get consistent good sleep seven days a week your heart will thank you soy Di and Meo I also feel like I have to add that if you are constantly fluctuating a lot between your sleep schedule during the week and on the weekend you end up with something called social jet lag your circadian rhythm is.
All over the place so you if you have difficulty sleeping this may be something to avoid and try to aim for consistency in said you spoke to my soul you spoke to my soul um and Dr battel uh finally Rachel from New York asks I have a big event at the end of October and I don't want to get sick so when's the best time to get the covid booster and.
Flu shot oh if I had a quarter for every time someone asked me this question in the past week I would have like a150 but besides that this is a very important consideration for people out there given the fact that respiratory viruses are coming now typically with the blue shot and the co booster it's about 10 to 14.
Days after you get the shot when you're going to get optimal protection so you want to try to think about what are you going to be doing are you going to be traveling this winter when do you want to make sure you're fully protected if you're high risk above the age of 65 or imuno compromised it's a good ad to go out and get those shots whenever you can.
In general I like to say early October early October is a good time to make sure that you are protected before holidays start it gives people time to get organized to make sure you go get in those shots but for others out there September might be a great time as well important reminder that you can get the covid and the flu shot at the same time.
You can even get it with RSV it is totally safe and effective to do so this is also a good time to make sure that you're caught up on other vaccines as well so definitely get in there and get those shots before you plan all your fun fall and winter festivities all right sounds good Dr L Patel thank you thank you and if you have any questions for Dr.
Battel leave him a message on our Instagram feed he might answer your question right here next week and fantasy football is going viral on most social media platforms as the countdown to NFL kickoff is almost over a big spike in teenage girls joining fantasy leagues could be attributed to the Kansas City Chief's number one fan.

Himself take a look Deadpool and Wolverine the number one movie in the world it's the biggest opening week of the year and the biggest opening weekend for an R-rated movie ever Nick Paulie you started all of that you're the first thing we see in the movie how does all of this success feel it's incredible I it almost doesn't feel real I was asked.
To perform that original choreography that Darren Henson made you know however many years ago and uh so I learned that from the music video and the rest was just freestyle and I think I'm lucky enough to uh kind of act and move a little similarly to Deadpool I think I have a little bit of Deadpool in me and a little bit of that sarcastic flare.
Even in my movement it's it's truly mesmerizing it's it's amazing how I can receive so much of people's reactions you know through the internet now 10 million Tik Tok views in a single day what what does that feel like um also unreal you you try to imagine 10 million people and you.
Can't it's again really cool to like be connecting with people who love it yeah and one of the people who loves it is Ryan Reynolds he has said that he's happy to ride your coattails and thank you for your contributions and services what was it like dancing in front of him cuz he was on set a little bit when you were on set as.
Well well he was there for the first 10 minutes he had a whole day of shooting and uh he was watching and while he was watching he was peeling off his makeup for the movie and so my first time meeting Ryan it was a quick handshake hello so good to meet you I can't wait to watch you and then as I'm doing the dance on set I can see in the corner of.
My eye him just peeling his face off and laughing and I I won't forget that because I don't think many people can say that no no and the fact that you were able to continue dancing as Ryan Reynolds is heing his face off I mean that's a testament to your focus as I'm like hyperventilating as well the the costume is pretty constricting I'm not.
Going to lie it was hard to breathe in that thing and they were attentive they were aware but in order for to in order to get the costume off you have to unzip the back take off the shoulders and then take off the top there's like this whole top thing so I'm like I'm like this trying to just get some air wow but it was um a lot happening all at once I I.
As a queer person certainly wouldn't assume that maybe there's a spot for a queer dancer in a major superhero action movie and yet here you are on the big screen playing dance pool yeah what is arriving at this moment like for you I think that's kind of the best part of it I really love that question um I think a lot of queer people.
Um I mean you know so many people love to perform so many people have dreams of being a superhero in their Own Way in times that I don't fit in I like to just say that I'm standing out um but I would tell my younger self that you know I'm going to be experiencing that a lot and it's because I'm I'm meant to stand out and.
Um I say that with PR you're in the MCU that's a huge deal MCU I'm like yeah it's so cool and now I've never felt like I've had a worse idea than trying to do any of this oh I got you I just want give me a couple of dance pool specific moves because I feel like I have access to dance pool in a way that many people will not okay now there's.
Three ways to do this there's the PG version where you just put your hand on your head I have feeling that's the one we'll be going with pg3 and the R-rated version where you just really wrap around and grab the whole thing would be the that's in dead you'll have to go see the movie for that for that one five six baby come on I know that I can't take.

Ban fracking and on whether she stands by her 2019 support for decriminalizing illegal border crossings I believe there should be consequence we have laws that have to be followed and enforced let's be clear in this race I'm the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who trafficking guns drugs and human beings I'm the only.
Person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws and I would enforce our laws as president going forward I recognize the problem running mate Tim Walls forced to explain what the Trump campaign has criticized as his misleading statements about his military service and his family struggle with.
Infertility I think people know who I am they know that record they've seen that I've taught thousands of students I've been out there and um I I won't apologize for piing passionately whether it's guns in schools or protecting of Reproductive Rights and for the first time Harris recalling that surprise Sunday Morning phone call from the.
President informing her he was dropping out of the race my family was staying with us and um including my baby nieces and we had just had pancakes and we were sitting down to to do a puzzle and the phone rang and it was Joe Biden I asked him are you sure and he said yes and um but that's how I learned about it.
Asked if he offered his endorsement then or if she asked for it Harris saying only and he was very clear that he was going to support me now 40 Days Later Harris is surging in the poles narrowly leading Donald Trump nationally asked what she would do on day one Harris light on specifics day one it's going to be about one implementing my plan for.
What I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in families she's adamant in defending her and Biden's record on the.
Economy but can seeds there's more to do but that's good work ABC News chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce thank you meanwhile former president Trump is making a bold new campaign promise to make IVF free if he's elected he vowed to make either the government or insurance companies pay for the.
Fertility treatment during a town hall in Wisconsin now Democrats are criticizing him for not giving details on how he would do that ABC Selena Wang has more from Lacrosse Wisconsin Donald Trump floats a striking new proposal as he suddenly tries to Rebrand himself on women's Reproductive Rights an issue that he knows could hurt.
Him at the polls in November Trump claiming that he would make invitro fertilization free if elected without providing any specifics on how he would pay for this costly plan or enact it under the Trump Administration your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF.
Treatment IVF can cost tens of thousands of dollars with nearly 90,000 babies born in the US through fertility treatments each year we want to produce babies in this country right we want to produce babies vice president kamla Harris campaign telling ABC News Donald Trump's own platform could effectively ban IVF and abortion Nationwide Trump.
Lies as much if not more than he breeds but voters aren't stupid Trump making this proposal despite repeatedly bragging about appointing three of the Supreme Court Justices who overturned Row versus Wade opening the door to new restrictions for fertility treatments we broke Ro v Wade and we did something that nobody thought was possible we gave.
It back to the States earlier this year Alabama Supreme Court declared Frozen embryos human beings entitled to full rights causing fertility clinics across the state to shut down for weeks a new poll finding Harris has a 16-point advantage over over Trump on who voters trust more to handle the issue of abortion in his own home state of.
Florida Trump now saying he opposes the state's ban on abortion at 6 weeks before most women even know they're pregnant well I think the six week is too short uh it has to be more time and so that's and I've told them that I want more weeks Trump contradicting his own statements that the issue of abortion should be left to the States but Trump's.
Campaign attempting to appease his anti-abortion base later saying he has not yet decided how he will vote he simply reiterated that he believes 6 weeks is too short over the years Donald Trump has flip-flopped on the issue of abortion but his focus on IVF is clearly an attempt to blunt vice president Harris's.
Attacks that he would rip away women's reproductive freedoms Diane ABC News senior White House correspondent Selena Wang thank you and ABC's Washington bureau chief and political director Rick Klein joins me now for more on these political developments Rick Reproductive Rights have been one of the more popular issues for Democrats since the.
Overturning of roie Wade so what do you make of this new promise from Trump to make IVF treatment free if elected well it's pretty striking to have a republican say he's going to add a mandate for insurance companies or add this big new expense uh that the federal government would shoulder uh certainly prompting a lot of concerns uh among.
Conservatives among Republicans I think there's a lot of reasons to be skeptical of it in in part because the Democrats actually had a proposal to mandate this and they brought it to the senate floor they had a vote almost all Republicans including JD Vance Trump's running mate voted against it uh so I think it's an interesting twist I think it suggests as.
Selena covered how the political uh calculations that that Trump is engaging in right now and trying to find something of a uh of of an an announcement on this that that takes this away as a as a big voting issue now in her interview with CNN vice president Harris was challenged on the fact that some of her policy positions.
Have changed since she ran for the Democratic nomination in 2019 so what stuck out to you from her explanations of those shifts yeah I mean starting with the fracking issue that that we covered in the in the piece a little bit earlier uh look she was unequivocal in in what she said originally in saying that she.
Wanted to ban fracking and then equally unequivocal in the other direction so she has had different positions and she did Square it and say look she's learned more about the issue uh also on the issue of decriminalizing the Border she took positions in the Democratic primary that were different uh than than her position right now and it just striking.
Because we have someone that normal circumstances you'd be running for president all this time people be asking the issues she didn't actually run for president since 2019 and then she was became Joe Biden's running mate and then as vice president she really couldn't have her own positions they were Biden positions now she is forced to answer.
For and to illuminate her own positions on a range of issues and sometimes yeah they're at odds not just with Biden but sometimes with things that she has said previously on that note Rick you know when it comes to her plans if elected Harris did sound pretty similar to President Biden there so where do you see her setting herself apart from him I.
Was struck by that question about what she would do on day one because she didn't say a lot about specifically what she would do because of course it isn't day one for for her Technically she's been vice president for three and a half almost four years and if she takes over as president there will be a continuation a lot of policies that you.
Can imagine a lot of cabinet uh that would stay stay in place but she is trying to position herself against Trump and I think you saw in the interview and you've seen a lot of campaign messaging this message about not going back uh she continues to run against the Trump era even though it's four years ago making the argument that we may be back under.
Another Trump era if he were to win all right ABC News Washington bureau chief and political director Rick Klein thanks Rick thanks Dian and September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time here on ABC News again that's September 10th 9:00 Eastern you can watch right here on ABC News.

From the NHL Columbus Blue Jacket star Johnny gdo is dead at 31 years old police in his home state of New Jersey say a car hit and killed gdo and his brother as they were riding their bikes last night ABC News Morgan Norwood joins us now Morgan what more you learning about what happened here well Diane we're talking about a horrific Incident.
That's sending shock waves throughout the NHL and also the sports world as you pointed out Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny gdo killed as he was biking with his brother Matthew last night in their hometown of Salem County New Jersey that is South Jersey so what is so heartbreaking about this particular story is that the brothers.
Were actually in town for their sister's wedding police say a driver that we now know has been identified as Shan Higgins plowed his Jeep into the two while he was trying to pass another SUV on a road and then took off from the scene not only that authorities also believe this particular driver Sean Higgins was drunk and Under the Influence I want to point.
To some additional reporting that our sister station or that our station wpv down in Philly has um according to the police affidavit the Trooper who interviewed Higgins on the scene uh you know smelled a strong odor of alcohol right but also uh apparently Higgins told that officer that he consumed five to six beers before getting behind the.
Wheel uh and and and involved in that crash both brothers as you pointed out we know were killed Higgins though is charged with two counts of death by Otto but as you can imagine this is unfathomable I mean he was a celebrated forward uh and this morning we know his team is also releasing a statement they are heartbroken uh saying quote Johnny.
Played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice he brought a genuine love for hockey uh with him everyone everywhere he played from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to Team USA to the Blue Jackets he thrilled fans in a way that only Johnny hocky could so again incredibly heartbreaking it is and I'm sure a lot.
Of questions for law enforcement to now answer about that Morgan Norwood thank you n ESPN's National Hockey writer Emily Kaplan joins us now with more on that Emily this was a man nicknamed Johnny hockey how big is this loss not just for his loved ones of course but also the league and his fans Diane everyone I've talked to in.
The hockey world this morning is shocked they're grieving they're devastated uh Johnny was beloved for what he did on the ice he was drafted at just 5 foot six uh in the fourth round by the Calgary Flames He's listed at 5'9 a buck 60 nothing was given to him and he turned turned into one of the best left Wingers in the entire league but anyone.
Who knows him knows that he was all about those close to him specifically his family he played nine years with the Calgary Flames and then he turned down a lot of offers that they had um to resign him because he wanted to play in America so that his wife Meredith could find a job but also that they could play close to both of their families you know He.
And Matthew who unfortunately passed away with him signed at Boston College as a package deal and so when Johnny was this big fre agent in 2020 to all of these teams in America wanted him and he signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets and that shocked a lot of people and I remember talking to Johnny in November of that season and it didn't go the way.
That he or the team had hoped they weren't playing well and he told me you know everyone thought I was out there chasing the money but that couldn't be further for the truth I love it here my wife loves it here our families love it here and he told me I wouldn't trade that decision for the world and he was a folklore figure even before he got to.
The NHL what was it about how he played that made people so excited right I think it was because he was so undersized you know hockey is a big tough Sport and this is someone who was quite small and skinny and found ways to do things creatively uh when he was at Boston College he won the Hobie Baker award as the best player in all of.
College hockey in the entire country and then when he got to the Calgary flame some of his accolades were winning the lady Bing which is the most gentlemanly player usually that's given to the the top player with you know the most accolades and the most points but also has the least penalty minutes so he was very beloved for just the way that he.
Played he was super creative again one of the best left Wingers in the league he played for the United States in so many tournaments and we're about to have NHL players reenter the world stage we have the four nations Cup coming this February hockey players are expected at the Olympics in Balon in 2026 from the NHL and I know that Johnny would have.
Figured into Team USA plans as a BC myself it's hard to overstate how beloved he was and is there so how do you think you'll remember people will remember gdo both on and off the ice I think as a family man um I think that decision to leave Calgary for family considerations for his wife.
Meredith where they wanted to raise their two kids they have two young ones Noah and Johnny Jr um that is what I think we're all going to remember he was so close to Maddie his brother again they signed at Boston College as a package deal his father and his mother often took road trips to go to their games and all of the guys that he played.
With just said like he was such a good guy uh he loved the game he loved to play he often had a smile on his face he cared so deeply about his teammates and I think that's the Legacy that the gdo family will celebrate him for and I think fans will as well a huge loss for so many ESPN's National Hockey writer Emily Kaplan Emily thank.

Dizziness then spiraled into vomiting disorientation and a dangerous fever and to see him lethargic and struggle to do simple basic functions it's hard the doctors describe this as a marathon to beat this virus since there's no actual cure for it many who get West Nile may not ever feel sick but one out of every 150 people infected May develop serious.
Even fatal illness and concern about another rare but potentially lethal mosquito born virus Triple E with six people sickened in at least five states and there is no vaccine to prevent these mosquito born infections in those severe cases and death are very rare officials in several States including here in New York are urging.
People to limit outdoor activity From Dusk to Dawn until the first Frost Diane ABC News Ariel rashev thank you and it's time now for our weekly segment Patel it like it is where ABC News contributor Dr l p Patel shares Health advice on the topics that matter most to you and today he's answering some of your questions so Dr Batel let's start with these concerns.
Over mosquito born illnesses that Ariel just mentioned because our first question comes from grace who asks are there allnatural or DIY mosquito repellents you can make at home popular question and a very timely one the most allnatural way to protect yourself against mosquitoes is to create a staying indoors wearing clothing using.
Mosquito Nets but when it comes to repellant which are extremely important you want to make sure you are using EPA registered repellents you can sometimes see on a bottle if you look at a store and it might see on the back registered with the EPA or you can even go online to the Environmental Protection agency's website and look up those ingredients.
These are repellant that may have ingredients such as DEET PMD or oil of Lemon Eucalyptus there are other products that may contain something like citronella peppermint oil cinnamon oil they smell great but they're not as effective so it's important you look at EPA registered you use the repellent exactly as directed you don't put them.
On broken skin and sunscreen first sometimes those products like those fancy candles they may smell great but they're not that effective at keeping mosquitoes away I also want to ask you about an unpublished study that found that sleeping in on weekends can reduce the negative impacts of weekday sleep loss lowering the risk of heart disease.
By up to 20% now this has yet to be vetted through the normal scientific review process but I wanted to get your your take on the headline here what do you make of this then I feel like I can already see the wheels turning in your head right now but say sleep I'm like this is an unpublished study.
Meaning it's not been peer-reviewed as you mentioned from the European Society of Congress and it did find that you know people who are sleep deprived when they catch up on sleep over the weekends over time it can reduce your risk of heart disease now there's a couple as risks number one the study did not exactly Define it how much sleep people.
Needed to quote catch up on on weekends to receive these benefits I also want to mention that in this study the authors Define sleep deprivation at less than seven hours of sleep which I would venture to say a lot of people get under seven hours of sleep regularly so it's important that we remember that regular consistent sleep of eight hours a day.
All days of the week is what you really need to do to optimize your health and it's hard to say if extra sleep on the weekends was really the reason people had improved heart health or if it was extra sleep leading to decreased stress or some other aspect of their life so takeaway is don't just rely on weekends to catch up on your sleep please try to.
Get consistent good sleep seven days a week and your heart will thank you so diano I also feel like I have to add that if you are constantly fluctuating a lot between your sleep schedule during the week and on the weekend you end up with something called social jet lag your circadian rhythm is all over the place so you if you have difficulty.
Sleeping this may be something to avoid and try to aim for consistency instead you spoke to my soul you spoke to my soul um and Dr battel uh finally Rachel from New York asks I have a big event at the end of October and I don't want to get sick so when's the best time to get the covid booster and flu shot oh if I had a quarter for every.
Time someone asked me this question in the past week I would have like a150 but besides that this is a very important consideration for people out there given the fact that respiratory viruses are coming now typically with the flu shot and the covid booster it's about 10 to 14 days after you get the shot when you're going to get optimal protection.
So you want to try to think about what are going to be doing are you going to be traveling this winter when do you want to make sure you're fully protected if you're high risk above the age of 65 or imuno compromised it's a good idea to go out and get those shots whenever you can in general I like to say early October early October is a good time to.
Make sure that you are protected before holidays start it gives people time to get organized to make sure you go get in those shots but for other out there September might be a great time as well important reminder that you can get the covid and the flu shot at the same time you can even get it with RSV it is totally safe and effective to do so this.
Is also a good time to make sure that you're caught up on other vaccines as well so definitely get in there and get those shots before you plan all your fun fall and winter festivities all right sounds good Dr L Patel thank you thank you and if you have any questions for Dr battel leave him a message on our Instagram feed he might answer your.

The first thing we see in the movie how does all of this success feel it's incredible I it almost doesn't feel real I was asked to perform that original choreography that Darren Henson made you know however many years ago and uh so I learned that from the music video and the rest was just freestyle and I think I'm lucky enough to uh kind of act and.
Move a little similarly to Deadpool I think I have a little bit of Deadpool in me and a little bit of that sarcastic flare even in my movement it's it's truly mesmerizing it's it's amazing how I can receive so much of people's reactions you know through the internet now 10 million Tik.

Meeting Ryan it was a quick handshake hello so good to meet you I can't wait to watch you and then as I'm doing the dance on set I can see in the corner of my eye him just peeling his face off and laughing and I I won't forget that because I don't think many people can say that no no and the fact that you were able to continue Dan in as Ryan.
Reynolds is peeling his face off I mean that's a testament to your focus as I'm like hyperventilating as well the the costume is pretty constricting I'm not going to lie it was hard to breathe in that thing and they were attentive they were aware but in order for to in order to get the costume off you have to unzip the back take off the shoulders and then.
Take off the top there's like this whole top thing so I'm like I'm like this trying to just get some air wow but it was um a lot happening all at once I I as a queer person certainly wouldn't assume that maybe there's a spot for a queer dancer in a major superhero action movie and yet here you are on the big screen playing dance pool yeah what is.
Arriving at this moment like for you I think that's kind of the best part of it I really love that question um I think a lot of quer people um I mean you know so many people love to perform so many people have dreams of being a super superhero in their own way in times that I don't fit in I like to just say that I'm standing out um but I.
Would tell my younger self that you know I'm going to be experiencing that a lot and it's because I'm I'm meant to stand out and um I say that with pride you're in the MCU that's a huge deal MCU I'm like yeah it's so cool and now I've never felt like I've had a worse idea than trying to do any of this oh I got you I just.

Interview since becoming the Democratic Presidential nominee what's he saying about her plans for a first day in office with running mate Tim wals and about the moment she learned President Biden was dropping out former president Trump breaks rank with some members of his party if elected the republican nominees is now vowing to make IVF.
Treatment free what he's saying on Reproductive Rights with just 11 days till the presidential debate breaking news NHL star Johnny GD and his brother are dead after being hit by a drunk driver what we know about the suspect and the tributes now pouring in and the US Open is in full swing and so is the fashion we are breaking down.
The looks and how you you can make tennis Corp work for you but first vice president Harris is laying out her top priorities in her first TV interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate speaking with CNN Harris and running M Tim wals laid out plans for their potential first day in office.
Day one it's going to be about one implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in.
Families also responded to criticism about policy Shi policy shifts on immigration and the environment let's bring in ABC Zen Shaw for more on this Zar one of the things making headlines was Harris saying that she would appoint a republican to her cabinet you have followed her for a long time and Trump is now getting a lot of attention for.
Getting support from the likes of telsey gabard and Robert Kennedy who dropped out of the race himself so is she facing more pressure now to work across the aisle and and if so why not give more specifics there I've definitely heard of Democrats talk about the Optics of a Chelsea gabard or Kennedy endorsing Trump right and certainly you could feel.
You could feel that pressure building she did give specifics which I thought was really interesting but you have Republicans who spoke at the DNC last week who certainly opposed Trump who she has to pick from in this case made him Adam kinzinger in the cabinet something along those lines yeah yeah but but yeah she talked about Reaching Across the.
Aisle she talked about wanting to work she said she's always worked with people from different points of view and that that's very important to her now haris also looked back on the historic nature of her candidacy how Joe Biden told her that he was stepping down and and how this all came to be what did you make of her explanation of not only the moment.
That he told her but what that means the way that she ended up in this position well first it left me with so many questions right I mean I'm very curious that she asked for that endorsement she didn't say but she said he called her on that Sunday that she was with her baby nieces cooking for them they're about to make a puzzle and that uh he told her.
That he was going to drop out of the race she said are you sure uh and and you know she she didn't say if she was the one who asked for the endorsement or not but uh you know she didn't even go into the historic nature of her candidacy right I've been told by AIDS Diane that often they will write in uh that she is the first that she's the.
First black woman that she's the first South Asian woman and she will literally cross it out that is not something that she often feels comfortable talking about and she certainly didn't yesterday in fact she said that she would be uh the best person to be pres for all Americans regardless of race and gender and then she also had to talk about.
Policy shifts you've been following her since 2019 you worked very closely on her campaign then what did you make of her explanation of why for example she was for Banning fracking then but not now two very different races right and yes I covered her very closely in 2019 and I remember the moment where she said that she would ban fracking but of.
Course that was a race with about 20 other Democrats right and of course you felt that pivot then when she went the next year into the general race with Joe Biden and at that point she said that Joe Biden will not ban fracking she says she holds to true to that now she said that she did not ban fracking as a vice president uh and then she she explained.
It a little bit but you know I was asking our climate team about this question and I thought their point was very very smart they said this is not an electoral this is an electoral decision this is not a climate decision they're saying that climate activists who are out there who feel very strongly about her will still feel strongly about her.
Regardless of her flip-flopping on fracking from her 2019 position all right interesting ABC zorin Shaw thank you and ABC's Washington bureau chief and political director Rick Klein joins me now for more on these political developments Rick Reproductive Rights have been one of the more popular issues.
For Democrats since the overturning of roie Wade so what do you make of this new promise from Trump to make IVF treatment free if elected well it's pretty striking to have a republican say he's going to add a mandate for insurance companies or add this big new expense uh that the federal government would shoulder uh certainly prompting a.
Lot of concerns among conservatives among Republicans I think there's a lot of reasons to be skeptical of it in in part because the Democrats actually had a proposal to mandate this and they brought it to the senate floor they had a vote almost all Republicans including JD Vance Trump's running mate voted against it uh so I think it's an.
Interesting twist I think it suggests as Selena covered how the political uh calculations that that Trump is engaging in right now and trying to find something of a uh of of an an announcement on this that that takes this away as a as a big voting issue now in her interview with CNN vice president Harris was challenged on the.
Fact that some of her policy positions have changed since she ran for the Democratic nomination in 2019 so what stck out to you from her explanations of those shifts yeah I mean starting with the fracking issue that that we covered in the in the piece a little bit earlier uh look she was unequivocal in in what she said originally in saying that she.
Wanted the band fracking and then equally unequivocal in the other direction so she has had different positions and she did Square it and say look she's learned more about the issue uh also on the issue of decriminalizing the Border she took positions in the Democratic primary that were different uh than than her position right now and.
It just striking because we have someone that normal circumstances you'd be running for president all this time people be asking the issues she didn't actually run for president since 2019 and then she was became Joe Biden's running mate and then as vice president she really couldn't have her own positions they were Biden positions now.
She is forced to answer for and to aluminate her own positions on a range of issues and sometimes yeah they're at odds not just with Biden but sometimes with things she has said previously on that note Rick you know when it comes to her plans if elected Harris did sound pretty similar to President Biden there so where do you see her setting herself.
Apart from him I was struck by that question about what she would do on day one because she didn't say a lot about specifically what she would do because of course it isn't day one for for her Technically she's been vice president for three and a half almost four years and if she takes over as president there will be a continuation a lot of policies.
That you can imagine a lot of cabinet uh that would stck stay in place but she is is trying to position herself against Trump and I think you saw in the interview and you've seen a lot of campaign messaging this message about not going back uh she continues to run against the Trump era even though it's four years ago making the argument that.
We may be back under another Trump era if he were to win all right ABC News Washington bureau chief and political director Rick Klein thanks Rick thanks Diane and September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time here on ABC News again that's September 10th 9:00 Eastern you can watch right here on.
ABC News live and Israeli forces say they've killed the head of a terrorist Network in the occupied West Bank Israel says the operation is now in day three and part of its larger war against Hamas and other militant groups in the region but the UN relief and works agency says it's impacting tens of thousands of.
Palestinians in four refugee camps foreign correspondent Brit clenet joins me now from Jerusalem with more Brit what's the latest on these raids in the West Bank as you say Diane they are now in their third day the IDF killing a top commander in Janine Hamas also confirming that death now the city in.
The northern West Bank still sealed off they have now withdrawn from tol Kum where their operation has concluded there and and we've seen pictures of major destruction in the camp where most of the fighting has taken place a Palestinian officials say 16 people have now been killed and more than 80 injured that death toll including the fighters.
Now we were in alphara yesterday following an IDF raid two children were killed there as the IDF raided house to house the mosque there was destroyed in a drone attack the IDF saying it was used as an explosive lab but that's something that locals their deny residents now picking up the pieces sweeping up smashed storefront at the.
Roads damaged by bulldozers uh there was a lot of anger there Diane too you know people felt like you know why did they sweep through and when I asked well they're looking for terrorists uh you know when the they would point to the children and say are these really terrorists and but the Hamas run Health Ministry is also reporting more deaths.
In Gaza could the fighting there impact the ongoing ceasefire talks well it certainly won't help ceasefire talks but quite frankly that deal is looking very elusive at the moment we know that Israel has sent a low low level delegation it looks like mediators are trying to kind of keep discussions alive but you know Israel's.
War cabinet met last night and it was determined that the IDF would remain in the philadel Philadelphia Corridor we know that is one of her M's red lines the idea there uh would still be a an Israeli Presence at the Egypt Gaza border uh is is something that the Hamas says it just won't accept so that's why for all these hopes and and some of the.
Rhetoric coming out from the US of a proper ceasefire it doesn't look like we are anywhere close yet Brit the World Health Organization says a polio vaccination campaign will start in Gaza on Sunday and that comes after the UN said a 10-month-old baby's partially paralyzed from the virus so what more can you tell us about.
That so Diane an Israeli Source confirmed me that this pause is not the start of a full Seas fire said there is uh no pause in terms of giving Hamas immunity they said we we are still going after them but at the same time we are enabling humanitarian Aid and vaccinations this is something that NOS as you know Diane have been begging for.
For for many weeks 650,000 kids need to be vaccinated as part of this three-stage vaccine roll out across the central Southern and Northern parts of the strip but it is a limited pause with designated areas during each stage stage though fighting will be paused for three consecutive days between 6:00 in the morning and 3:00 p.m. local time Diane.

Presidential debate is on World News Tonight with David mu is America's most watch newscast ABC News America's number one news source hi I'm D maso today on ABC newss live first vice president Harris's first interview since becoming the Democratic Presidential nominee what she's saying.
About her plans for a first day in office with running mate Tim Walts and about the moment she learned President Biden was dropping out former president Trump breaks rank with some members of his own party if elected the Republican nominee is now vowing to make IVF treatment free what he's saying on Reproductive Rights with just 11 days.
Until the presidential debate and breaking news NHL player Johnny gdo and his brother are dead after being hit by a drunk driver what we know about the suspects and the tributes pouring in for Johnny hocky right now and last minute back to school shopping it's not too late to find some.
Deals Lori bergado shows us her favorite musthaves for students in your house in the right Stu at first vice president Harris is laying out her top priorities in her first TV interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate speaking with CNN Harris and running mate Tim wals laid out their plans for.
Their potential first day in office and responded to criticism about policy shifts and misleading statements and for the first time Harris described the surprised moment President Biden told her he was dropping out ABC News chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce has more nearly 6 weeks into her campaign kamla Harris forced to explain her.
Policy shifts but arguing one thing has not changed I think the the the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed asked if she still wants to ban fracking something she'd vowed in 2019 Harris saying this no and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban.
Fracking as vice president I did not ban fracking as president I will not ban fracking and on whether she stands by her 2019 support for decriminalizing illegal border crossings I believe there should be consequence we have laws that have to be followed and enforced first then let's be clear in this race I'm the only person who has prosecuted.
Transnational criminal organizations who trafficking guns drugs and human beings I'm the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws and I would enforce our laws as president going forward I recognize the problem running mate Tim Walls forced to explain what the Trump campaign has criticized.
As his misleading statements about his military service and his family struggle with infertility I think people know who I am they know that record they've seen that I've taught thousands of students I've been out there and um I I won't apologize for speaking passionately whether it's guns in schools or protecting of Reproductive Rights and.
For the first time Harris recalling that surprise Sunday Morning phone call from the president informing her he was dropping out of the race my family was staying with us and um including my baby nieces and we had just had pancakes and we were sitting down to to do a puzzle and the phone rang and it was Joe Biden I asked him are you sure and he.
Said yes and um but that's how I learned about it asked if he offered his endorsement then or if she asked for it Harris saying only and he was very clear that he was going to support me now 40 Days Later Harris is surging in the polls narrowly leading Donald Trump nationally asked what she would do on day one Harris.
Light on specifics day one it's going to be about one implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to.
Invest in families she's adamant in defending her and Biden's record on the economy but concedes there's more to do but that's good work ABC News chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce thank you meanwhile former president Trump is making a bold new campaign promise to make IVF free if he's elected he vowed.
To make either the government or insurance companies pay for the fertility treatment during a town hall in Wisconsin now Democrats are criticizing him for not giving details on how he would do that ABC Selena Wang has more from Lacrosse Wisconsin Donald Trump floats a striking new proposal as he suddenly tries to.
Rebrand himself on women's Reproductive Rights an issue that he knows could hurt him at the polls in November Trump claiming that he would make invitro fertilization free if elected without providing any specifics on how he would pay for this costly plan or enact it under the Trump Administration your government will pay for or your.
Insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment IVF can cost tens of thousands of dollars with nearly 90,000 babies born into the us through fertility treatments each year we want to produce babies in this country right we want to produce babies vice president kamla Harris campaign telling ABC News Donald.
Trump's own platform could effectively ban IVF and abortion Nationwide Trump lies as much if not more than he breathes but voters aren't stupid Trump making this proposal despite repeatedly bragging about appointing three of the Supreme Court Justices who overturned Row versus Wade opening the door to new restrictions for fertility treatments we.
Broke Ro v Wade and we did something that nobody thought was possible we gave it back to the States earlier this year Alabama Supreme Court declared Frozen embryos human beings entitled to full rights causing fertility clinics across the state to shut down for weeks a new poll finding Harris has a 16 Point advantage over Trump on who voters trust.
More to handle the issue of abortion in his own home state of Florida Trump now saying he opposes the state's ban on abortion at 6 weeks before most women even know they're pregnant well I think the six week is too short uh it has to be more time and so that's and I've told them that I want more weeks Trump contradicting his own statements that.
The issue of abortion should be left to the States but Trump's campaign attempting to appease his anti-abortion base later saying he has not yet decided how he will vote he simply reiterated that he believes 6 weeks is too short over the years Donald Trump has flip-flopped on the issue of abortion but his focus on IVF is clearly an.
Attempt to blunt vice president Harris's attacks that he would rip away women's reproductive freedoms Diane ABC News senior White House correspondent Selena Wang thank you and ABC's Washington bureau chief and political director Rick Klein joins me now for more on these political developments Rick Reproductive Rights have been one of the more popular.
Issues for Democrats since the overturning of roie Wade so what do you make of this new promise from Trump to make IVF treatment free if elected well it's pretty striking to have a republican say he's going to add a mandate for insurance companies or add this big new expense uh that the federal government would shoulder uh certainly.
Prompting a lot of concerns uh among conservatives among Republicans I think there's a lot of reasons to be skeptical of it in in part because the Democrats had actually had a proposal to mandate this and they brought it to the senate floor they had a vote almost all Republicans including JD Vance Trump's running mate voted against it uh so I.
Think it's an interesting twist I think it suggests as Selena covered how the political uh calculations that that Trump is engaging in right now and trying to find something of a uh of of an an announcement on this that that takes this away as a as a big voting issue now in her interview with CNN vice president Harris was challenged on the.
Fact that some of her policy position have changed since she ran for the Democratic nomination in 2019 so what stuck out to you from her explanations of those shifts yeah I mean starting with the fracking issue that that we covered in the in the piece a little bit earlier uh look she was unequivocal in in what she said originally and saying.
That she wanted to band fracking and then equally unequivocal in the other direction so she has had different positions and she did Square it and say look she's learned more about the issue uh also on the issue of decriminalizing the Border she took positions in the Democratic primary that were different uh than than her position right now and.
It just striking because we have someone that normal circumstances you'd be running for president all this time people be asking the issues she didn't actually run for president since 2019 and then she was became Joe Biden's running mate and then as vice president she really couldn't have her own positions they were Biden positions now.
She is forced to answer for and to illuminate her own positions on a range of issues and sometimes yeah they're at odds not just with Biden but sometimes with things that she has said previously on that note Rick you know when it comes to her plans if elected Harris did sound pretty similar to President Biden there so where do you see her setting herself.
Apart from him I was struck by that question about what she would do on day one because she didn't say a lot about specifically what she would do because of course it isn't day one for for her Technically she's been vice president for three and a half almost four years and if she takes over as president there will be a continuation a lot of policies.
That you can imagine a lot of cabinet uh that would stay stay in place but she is trying to position herself against Trump and I think you saw in the interview and you've seen a lot of campaign messaging this message about not going back back she continues to run against the Trump era even though it's four years ago making the argument that we may be back.
Under another Trump era if he were to win all right AB News Washington bureau chief and political director Rick Klein thanks Rick thanks Diane and September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time here on ABC News again that's September 10th 9:00 Eastern you can watch right here on ABC News.

Day welcome back to ABC News live First We are following breaking news from the NHL Columbus Blue Jacket star Johnny gdo is dead at 31 years old police in his home state of New Jersey say a car hit and killed gdo and his brother as they were riding their bikes last night ABC News Morgan Norwood joins us now Morgan what more are you learning about what.
Happened here well Diane we're talking about a horrific incident that shock waves throughout the NHL and also the sports world as you pointed out Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny gdo killed as he was biking with his brother Matthew last night in their hometown of Salem County New Jersey that is South Jersey so what is so heartbreaking about.
This particular story is that the brothers were actually in town for their sister's wedding police say a driver that we now know has been identified as sea Higgins plowed his Jeep into the two while he was trying to pass another SUV on a road and then took off from the scene not only that authorities also believe this particular driver Sean.
Higgins was drunk and Under the Influence I want to point to some additional reporting that our sister station or that our station wpv down in Philly has um according to the police affidavit the trooper who interviewed Higgins on the scene uh you know smelled a strong odor of alcohol right but also uh apparently Higgins told that officer.
That he consumed five to six beers before getting behind the wheel uh and and and involved in that crash both brothers as you pointed out we know were killed Higgins though is charged with two counts of death by utto but as you can imagine this is unfathomable I mean he was a celebrated forward and this morning we know his.
Team is also releasing a statement they are heartbroken saying quote Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice he brought a genuine love for hockey um with him everyone everywhere he played from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to Team USA to the Blue Jackets he thrilled fans in a way that only.
Johnny hockey could so again incredibly heartbreaking it is and I'm sure a lot of questions for law enforcement to now answer about that Morgan Norwood thank you n ESPN's National Hockey writer Emily Kaplan joins us now with more on that Emily this was a man nicknamed Johnny hockey how big is this loss not just for his loved ones of course but.
Also the league and his fans Diane everyone I've talked to in the hockey world this morning is shocked they're grieving they're devastated uh Johnny was beloved for what he did on the ice he was drafted at just 5'6 uh in the fourth round by the Calgary Flames He's listed at 5'9 a buck 60 nothing was given to him and he turned into one of.
The best left Wingers in the entire league but anyone who knows him knows that he was all about those close to him specifically his family he played nine years with the Calgary Flames and then he turned down a lot of offers that they had um to resign him because he wanted to play in America so that his wife Meredith could find a job but also that.
They could employee close to both of their families you know He and Matthew who unfortunately passed away with him signed at Boston College as a package deal and so when Johnny was this big free agent in 2022 all of these teams in America wanted him and he signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets and that shocked a lot of people and I remember.
Talking to Johnny in November of that season and it didn't go the way that he or the team had hoped they weren't playing well and he told me you know everyone thought I was out there chasing the money but that couldn't be further for the truth I love it here my wife loves it here our families love it here and he told me I wouldn't trade that.
Decision for the world and and he was a folklore figure even before he got to the NHL what was it about how he played that made people so excited right I think it was because he was so undersized you know hockey is a big tough Sport and this is someone who was quite small and skinny and found ways to do things creatively uh when he.
Was at Boston College he won the Hobie Baker award as the best player in all of college hockey in the entire country and then when he got to the Calgary flame some of his accolades were winning the lady Bing which is the most gentlemanly player usually that's given to the top player with you know the most accolades and the most points but also has the.
Least penalty minutes so he was very beloved for just the way that he played he was super creative again one of the best left Wingers in the league he played for the United States and so many tournaments and we're about to have NHL players re-enter the world stage we have the four nations Cup coming this February hockey players are expected at.
The Olympics in Balon in 2026 uh from the NHL and I know that Johnny would have figured into Team USA plans as a BC Alum myself it's hard to overstate how beloved he was and is there so how do you think you'll remember people will remember gdo both on and off the ice I think as a family man um I think.
That decision to leave Calgary for family considerations for his wife Meredith where they wanted to raise their two kids they have two young ones Noah and Johnny Jr um that is what I think we're all going to remember he was so close to Maddie his brother again they signed at Boston College as a package deal his father and his mother.
Often took road trips to go to their games and all of the guys that he played with just said like he was such a good guy uh he loved the game he loved to play he often had a smile on his face he cared so deeply about his teammates and I think that's the Legacy that the gdo family will celebrate him for and I think fans will as well a huge loss for.
So many ESPN's National Hockey writer Emily Kaplan Emily thank you we'll be right back what does it take to be the most watched newscast in America an operation to capture Isis Fighters our combat Operation Center we're approaching the gate now militants came in from four or five different.

Us let's get straight to our top story vice president Harris is laying out her top priorities in her first TV interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate speaking with CNN Harris and running made Tim wals laid out plans for their potential first day in office day one it's going to be about.
One implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in families Harris also responded to.
Criticism about policy shifts on immigration and the environment meanwhile former president Trump is holding a rally in Pennsylvania today and making a bold promise to make IVF treatments free if he is elected he vowed to make either government or insurance companies pay for the fertility treatment and now Democrats.
Are criticizing him for not giving any details on how ABC News senior National correspondent Terry Moran joins me now from Johnson Pennsylvania where Trump will be holding a rally shortly Terry what is this new promise from Trump do for the conversation around Reproductive Rights given that's been one of the most popular campaign issues for Democrats.
Since the overturning of Ro V waight absolutely dianae before the overturning of R versus weight one of the most popular campaign topics for republicans and now it's switched because really the majority of of the public polls showed uh was supportive of Row versus weight so Trump is now trying to get towards the middle he's tacking.
Hard towards the middle supporting government paid IVF forcing people who Catholics Southern Baptists believe that IVF is the equivalent of abortion and in fact destroys more embryos in their in their belief in their uh in the way they look at it than abortion itself there he is now they're going to have to pay taxes to support it he also said that he.
Would not support Florida's proposed six we ban on abortion so right now what it does is that Trump is actually to the left in some ways of kamla Harris at least uh nominally on these issues and it has riled up some uh very very devout uh anti-abortion rights people they can't believe what they now have to support and it may cost them some votes.
He clearly thinks it's a liability for republicans and he doesn't want it in his campaign and Terry what about the fiscal side of this to have a Republican president presidential candidate talking about mandating that private insurance companies or that the government itself pay for something healthare related doesn't sound very Republican.
Does it I mean it it it really doesn't and I think it's going to take a while to work through the Trump coalitions there will be votes that he loses because of it it's already quite clear people who are single isue vo voters on that who've worked for decades to overturn Rover's way they want to see no abortions in the United States and here.
Is their Champion the guy who appointed the three justices who overturned Ro versus Wade flip-flopping all the way to the other side a government man mandated you taxpayers have to pay for other people's IVF and he doesn't even support a six week ban on on abortions in his own home state of Florida so he will it will cost votes he's counting on it.
Winning them votes he's trying to push it as familyfriendly and we've he heard that through the campaign that pushed Terry I'm out of time but quickly what do you expect to hear from him today well I don't think he's he wants to talk a lot more about that he can see how he's uh riled up his own base he sent the message to the center of the.
Country on these issues that he's not uh you know going to be anti-abortion rights anti IVF anymore the job that he came to do on that is done he wants the states to decide and he doesn't want to touch it anymore what we will hear I'm sure is a lot about kamla Harris uh he has already communicated on social media he wasn't impressed with kamla Harris's.
Interview last night on CNN he's already called her stupid he's used those words to describe her and he's going to go after as he always do what does what he says are her far-left policies she's done her own flip-flopping on those though and expect to hear that as well all right senior National correspondent Terry Moran thanks.
Terry let's bring in ABC zoren Shaw for more on this zoren one of the things making headlines was Harris saying that she would appoint a Republican to her cabinet you have followed her for a long time and Trump is now getting a lot of attention for getting support from the likes of telsey gabard and robbert Kennedy who dropped out of the race.
Himself so is she facing more pressure now to work across the aisle and and if so why not give more specifics there I've definitely heard of Democrats talk about the Optics of a Chelsea gabard or a Kennedy endorsing Trump right and certainly you could feel you could feel that pressure building she didn't give specifics which I thought was really.
Interesting but you have Republicans who spoke at the DNC last week who certainly opposed Trump who she has to pick from in this case made him Adam kinzinger in the cabinet something along those lines yeah yeah but but yeah she talked about Reaching Across the aisle she talked about wanting to work she said she's always worked with people from different.
Points of view and that that's very important to her now Harris also looked back on the historic nature of her candidacy how Joe Biden told her that he was stepping down and and how this all came to be what did you make of her explanation of not only the moment that he told her but what that means the way that she ended up in this position well.
First it left me with so many questions right I me I'm very curious that she asked for that endorsement she didn't say but she said he called her on that Sunday that she was with her baby nieces cooking for them they're about to make a puzzle and that uh he told her that he was going to drop out of the race she said are you sure uh and and you know.
She she didn't say if she was the one who asked for the endorsement or not but uh you know she didn't even go into the historic nature of her candidat right I've been told by AIDS Diane that often they will write in uh that she is the first that she's the first black woman that she's the first South Asian woman and she will literally cross it out that.
Is not something that she often feels comfortable talking about and she certainly didn't yesterday in fact she said that she would be uh the best person to be present for all Americans regardless of race and gender and then she also had to talk about policy shifts you've been following her since 2019 you worked very closely on her campaign then.
What did you make of her explanation of why for example she was for Banning fracking then but not now two very different races right and yes I covered her very closely in 2019 and I remember the moment where she said that she would ban fracking but of course that was a race with about 20 other Democrats right and of course you felt that pivot then.
When she went the next year into the general race with Joe Biden and at that point she said that Joe Biden will not ban fracking she says she holds to true to that now she said that she did not ban fracking as a vice president uh and then she she explained it a little bit but you know I was asking our climate team about this question and I thought.
Their point was very very smart they said this is not an electoral this is an electoral decision this is not a climate decision they're saying that climate activists who are out there who feel very strongly about her will still feel strongly about her regardless of her flip-flopping on fracking from her 2019 position all right interesting ABC zorin.
Shaw thank you and September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time here on AB news again that's September 10th 9:00 Eastern you can watch right here on ABC News live and Israel forces say they've killed the head of a terrorist Network in the occupied West Bank Israel says.
The operation is now in day three and part of its larger war against Hamas and other militant groups in the region but the UN relief and works agency says it's impacting tens of thousands of Palestinians in four refugee camps foreign correspondent Brit clet joins me now from Jerusalem with more BR what's the latest on these raids in the West.
Bank as you say Diane they are now in their third day the IDF killing a top commander in Janine Hamas also confirming that death now the city in the northern West Bank still sealed off they have now withdrawn from tol karum where their operation has concluded there and and we've seen pictures of.
Major destruction in the camp where most of the fighting has taken place a Palestinian officials say 16 people have now been killed and more than 80 injured that death toll including the fighters now we were in alphar yesterday following an IDF raid two children were killed there as the IDF raided house to house the mosque there was destroyed in.
A drone attack the IDF saying it was used as an explosive lab but that's something that locals there denying residents now picking up the pieces sweeping up smashed storefront the roads damaged by bulldozers uh there was a lot of anger there Diane too you know people felt like you know why did they sweep through and when I asked well they're.
Looking for terrorists uh you know when the they would point to the children and say are these really terrorists and Brit the Hamas run Health Ministry is also reporting more deaths in Gaza could the fighting there impact the ongoing ceasefire talks well it certainly won't help ceasefire talks but quite frankly that.
Deal is looking very elusive at the moment we know that Israel has sent a low lowlevel delegation it looks like mediators are trying to kind of keep discussions alive but you know Israel's war cabinet met last night and it was detered mined that the IDF would remain in the philadel Philadelphia Corridor we know that is one of hamas's red lines.
The idea there uh would still be a an Israeli Presence at the Egypt Gaza border uh is is something that the Hamas says it just won't accept so that's why for all these hopes and and some of the rhetoric coming out from the US of a proper ceasefire it doesn't look like we are anywhere close yet Brit the World Health Organization.
Says a polio vaccination camp campaign will start in Gaza on Sunday and that comes after the UN said a 10-month-old baby is partially paralyzed from the virus so what more can you tell us about that so Diane an Israeli Source confirmed me that this pause is not the start of a full Seas fire said there is uh no pause in terms of giving Hamas.
Immunity they said we we are still going after them but at the same time we are enabling humanitarian Aid and vaccinations this is something that NOS as you know Diane have been begging for for for many weeks 650,000 kids need to be vaccinated as part of this three-stage vaccine roll out across the central Southern and Northern parts of.

From the NHL Columbus Blue Jacket star Johnny gdo is dead at 31 years old police in his home state of New Jersey say a car hit and killed gdo and his brother as they were riding their bikes last night tonight ABC News Morgan Norwood joins us now Morgan what more are you learning about what happened here well Diane we're talking about a.
Horrific Incident That's sending shock waves throughout the NHL and also the sports world as you pointed out Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny gdo killed as he was biking with his brother Matthew last night and their hometown of Salem County New Jersey that is South Jersey so what is so heartbreaking about this particular story is that the.
Brothers were actually in town for their sister's wedding police say a driver that we now know has been identified as Sha Higgins plowed his Jeep into the two while he was trying to pass another SUV on a road and then took off from the scene not only that authorities also believe this particular driver Sean Higgins was drunk and Under the.
Influence I want to point to some additional reporting that our sister station or that our station wpv down in Philly has um according to the police affidavit the trooper who interviewed Higgins on the scene uh you know smelled a strong odor of alcohol right but also uh apparently Higgins told that officer that he consumed five to six beers.
Before getting behind the wheel uh and and and involved in that crash both brothers as you pointed out we know were killed Higgins though is charged with two counts of death by Otto but as you can imagine this is unfathomable I mean he was a celebrated forward uh and this morning we know his team is also releasing a statement they are.
Heartbroken uh saying quote Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice he brought a genuine love for hockey um with him everyone everywhere he played from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to USA to the Blue Jackets he thrilled fans in a way that only Johnny hocky could so again incredibly.
Heartbreaking it is and I'm sure a lot of questions for law enforcement to now answer about that Morgan Norwood thank you and ESPN's National Hockey writer Emily Kaplan joins us now with more on that Emily this was a man nicknamed Johnny hockey how big is this loss not just for his loved ones of course but also the league and his.
Fans Diane everyone I've talked to in the hockey world this morning is shocked they're grieving they're devastated uh Johnny was beloved for what he did on the ice he was drafted at just 5 foot six uh in the fourth round by the Calgary Flames He's listed at 5 foot n a buck 60 nothing was given to him and he turned into one of the best left Wingers.
In the entire league but anyone who knows him knows that he was all about those close to him specifically his family he played nine years with the Calgary Flames and then he turned down a lot of offers that they had had um to resign him because he wanted to play in America so that his wife Meredith could find a job but also that they could play.
Close to both of their families you know He and Matthew who unfortunately passed away with him signed at Boston College as a package deal and so when Johnny was this big fre agent in 2022 all of these teams in America wanted him and he signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets and that shocked a lot of people and I remember talking to Johnny in November.
Of that season and it didn't go the way that he or the team had hoped they weren't playing well well and he told me you know everyone thought I was out there chasing the money but that couldn't be further for the truth I love it here my wife loves it here our families love it here and he told me I wouldn't trade that decision for the.
World and and he was a folklore figure even before he got to the NHL what was it about how he played that made people so excited right I think it was because he was so undersized you know hockey is a big tough Sport and this is someone who was quite small and skinny and found ways to do things creatively uh when he.
Was at Boston College he won the Hobie Baker award as the best player in all of college hockey in the entire country and then when he got to the Calgary flame some of his accolades were winning the lady Bing which is the most gentlemanly player usually that's given to the top player with you know the most accolades and the most points but also has the.
Least penalty minutes so he was very beloved for just the way that he played he was super creative again one of the best left Wingers in the league he played for the United States and so many tournaments and we're about to have NHL players re-enter the world stage we have the four nations Cup coming this February hockey players are expected at.
The Olympics in Balon in 2026 from the NHL and I know that Johnny would have figured into Team USA plans as a BC Alum myself it's hard to overstate how beloved he was and is there so how do you think you'll remember people will remember gdo both on and off the ice I think as a family man um I think.
That decision to leave Calgary for family considerations for his wife Meredith where they wanted to raise their two kids they have two young ones Noah and Johnny Jr um that is what I think we're all going to remember he was so close to Maddie his brother again they signed at Boston College as a package deal his father and his mother.
Often took road trips to go to their games and all of the guys that he played with just said like he was such a good guy uh he loved the game he loved to play he often had a smile on space he cared so deeply about his teammates and I think that's the Legacy that the gdo family will celebrate him for and I think fans will as well a huge loss for.

Life a little easier and today we have a special guest here to help save us some time and stress when packing school lunches co-founder of feeding Littles registered nutritionist Megan mam is here to show us how it's done Megan I'm so excited to talk to you and I'm sure so many parents right now are waiting to hear what you have to say because it can.
Be tough in the hustle and bustle of the morning to figure out what the heck am I going to put in this lunch box so I know that you specialize in maternal and Child Nutrition so let's start there right we all want our kids eating fruits and veggies but if you have a picky eater how do you get them to eat that at school when you're not even there right.
So School ERS a little tough because you don't have a lot of control over what happens when you're there but it's all about what you pack in the lunch and you can only do your best in putting in some balance and exposure and variety every time you pack but it doesn't have to be complicated that's something that I think a lot of parents Miss they think.
That it has to be colorful with like a rainbow in every single lunch or that they have to do you know a googly eyeball or a funny shap to make their kid eat it lunches can be simple we just recommend following kind of a a method to um to making sure that it's B balance so you want a carbohydrate a protein a fruit a veggie and then either a dip or.
A chip or some sort of dessert in there to make sure that it's balanced and they're getting that exposure to all those different foods and so what if you don't want to waste it because you feel like I know I'm sending this you know lunchbox full of stuff and I know the broccoli is coming back or the carrots are going to be uneaten right the dip.
The dessert part that's going to be gone so that can be frustrating right you don't want to waste food right absolutely one thing you can do and I actually can show you in this box here if you guys can see this I don't have a special overh head camera in my house unfortunately but we have one piece of bell pepper in here one piece that's it.
And that's exposure to bell pepper and then if they don't eat it it's only one bell pepper wasted now mind you if the lunch comes that cold because you kept it on you know two ice packs we recommend like a thin ice pack on the top and the bottom if it's still comes back cold and it is still safe to eat so it can be something your kid can also.
Eat after school if they're interested or if it wants to be your snack after the end of the day too you know it doesn't necessarily have to be wasted if it's still safe I have definitely been the scavenger that goes through my kids lunchbox and eats what's leftover so I'm glad that that's a safe thing to do um talk to me about leftovers too because.
You say you can just utilize leftovers so what are some of your favorite leftovers to serve for lunch and any tips to save on prep time there yes I like packing at night the night before because I like making food and getting the kitchen messy all at once and then popping it into the lunch box and be being done with it then it's going into.
The fridge and the next day take it out put it on the ice packs and send it to school I only dirty my kitchen one time and then I can use anything that I'm prepping for dinner or any leftovers for dinner to pop in the lunch box so I'm going to show you an example here this is actually what my kids are having today it's bow tii pasta some meatballs.
And blueberries and carrot chips and there's a little marinara sauce in the middle for dip my kids literally take the the bow TI pasta and they dip it and they love this this is one of their favorites it's not complicated and it's something that I made for dinner last night and I can literally pop in serve cold and give to them for lunch the next.
Day it's again it's all about that formula stick to just that balance of nutrients but it doesn't have to be super complicated that is so creative one the serve cold part I'm not sure I would have thought of that and the sauce as a dip I love that and then as you're peeling and cutting things for dinner you just throw it right in The Lunchbox.
We go to school really early there is no way I would be able to make lunches in the morning I would foret ex it just wouldn't happen so I have to do it at night and it stays really nice especially if you have a lunch box that has multiple containers that are you know sealed when you shut the box it actually stays really well until the.
Next day H all right one more question for you Megan I still have memories of biting into my turkey tomato sandwich as a kid which I loved for some reason but one side of the bread was always soggy by lunch how do you prevent your sandwiches from becoming that kind of mushy soggy texture yes that's such a great great question because I think a.
Lot of us relate to that sandwiches get soggy from the uh especially if there's moisture in the ingredients inside if that tomato obviously that tomato is pretty juicy so it sounds really counterintuitive but one of the best things you can do is put the spread on both sides of the sandwich so on both pieces of bread I'm going to show you.
It's not turkey but this is sunflower seed butter I put it on both sides of the bread and then when I add smashed raspberries which by the way is so good if you haven't tried this it's really tasty smash up some raspberries literally with a fork on the bread and then when you seal it together that bread doesn't get soggy the The.
Raspberries don't go through because that sunflower seed butter is creating that nice little layer okay wait one I love the tip for this no soggy bread but smash raspberries it's kind of like a peanut butter and jelly but without all the extra sugar that often comes in the jelly we buy at the store well and you know jell is great too but it's so tasty.
Like it's delicious and it's a great way to try fruit and if you're a PBJ fan this is a nice Twist on it it's actually something that I eat all the time I love it and my kids love it and it's you know killing multiple birds with one stone here I am going to try that one Megan thank you so much it's always so great to talk to you I love your ideas thank.
You big hugs to Judy as well for us the other Duo as part of feeding Littles and remember Megan's new book feeding Littles lunches is available now anywhere you get books and remember here at M methas what problem do you want hacked send me a message on Instagram at dianr M and we just might tackle it in the next M.

Day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day's top stories a lot of news today so let's get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four Edward R ml Awards and see why the New York Times calls it a news podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first.
Listen now that's a part of the story I bet you didn't see coming wherever you get your podcasts start here welcome back to ABC News live Health officials are on alert as reports of mosquito born illnesses spread across the US Dr say a Missouri teen is on a ventilator with complications from the West Nile Virus and now more cases of.
Triple E virus are being reported across the Northeast ABC News Ariel rashev has the details as teams in New York City and along the northeast unleash an attack on mosquitoes from the air and streets Health officials in Wisconsin confirming two people have now died in that state from West Nile Virus nearly 290 cases.
Reported across more than 30 States the mosquito transmitted illness accounting for 100 to 200 deaths each year in Missouri 18-year-old John Proctor the 6 now on a ventilator Contracting the disease early this month his parents say symptoms started with headaches and dizziness then spiraled into vomiting disorientation and a dangerous fever and.
To see him lethargic and struggle to do simple basic functions it's hard the doctors describe this as a marathon to beat this virus since there's no actual cure for it many who get West Nile may not ever feel sick but one out of every 150 people infected May develop serious even fatal illness and concern about another rare but potentially lethal.
Mosquito born virus Triple E with six people sickened in at least five states and there is no vaccine to prevent these mosquito born infections in those severe cases and death are very rare officials in several States including here in New York are urging people to limit out activity From Dusk to Dawn until the first Frost Diane ABC.
News Ariel RF thank you and it's time now for our weekly segment Patel it like it is where ABC News contributor Dr l p Patel shares Health advice on the topics that matter most to you and today he's answering some of your questions so Dr Batel let's start with these concerns over mosquito born illnesses that Ariel just mentioned because our first.
Question comes from grace who asks are there allnatural or DIY mosquito repellents you can make at home popular question and a very timely one the most allnatural way to protect yourself against mosquitoes is to create a barrier staying indoors wearing clothing using mosquito Nets but when it comes to repellents which are extremely.
Important you want to make sure you are using EPA registered repellents you can sometimes see on a bottle if you look at a store and it might see on the back registered with the EPA or you can even go online to the Environmental Protection agency's website and look up those ingredients these are repellents that may have ingredients such as DEET.
PMD or oil of Lemon Eucalyptus there are other products that may contain something like citronella peppermint oil cinnamon oil they smell great but they're not as effective so it's important you look at EPA registered you use the repellent exactly as directed you don't put them on broken skin and sunscreen first sometimes those products.
Like those fancy candles they may smell great but they're not that effective at keeping mosquitoes away I also want to ask you about an unpublished study that found that sleeping in on weekends can reduce the negative impacts of weekday sleep loss lowering the risk of heart disease by up to 20% now this has yet to be vetted through the normal scientific.
Review process but I wanted to get your your take on the headline here what do you make of this Dan I feel like I can already see the wheels turning in your head right now but ex say sleep I'm like this is an unpublished study meaning it's not been peer-reviewed as you mentioned from the European Society.
Of Congress and it did find that you know people who are sleep deprived when they catch up on sleep over the weekends over time it can reduce your risk of heart disease now there's a couple asterisks number one the study did not exactly Define it how much sleep people needed to quote catch up on on weekends to receive these benefits I also want to.
Mention that in this study the authors defined sleep deprivation at less than seven hours of sleep which I would venture to say a lot of people get under seven hours of sleep regularly so it's important that we remember that regular consistent sleep of 8 hours a day all days of the week is what you really need to do to optimize your health and it's.
Hard to say if extra sleep on the weekends was really the reason people had improved heart health or if it was the extra sleep leading to decreased stress or some other aspect of their life so takeaway is don't just rely on weekends to catch up on your sleep please try to get consistent good sleep seven days a week and your heart will.
Thank you soy Diane Meo I also feel like I have to add that if you are constantly fluctuating a lot between your sleep schedule during the week and on the weekend you end up with something called social jet lag your circadian rhythm is all over the place so you if you have difficulty sleeping this may be something to avoid and try to aim for.
Consistency instead you spoke to my soul you spoke to my soul um and Dr battel uh finally Rachel from New York asks I have a big event at the end of October and I don't want to get sick so when's the best time to get the covid booster and flu shot oh if I had a quarter for every time someone asked me this question in.
The past week I would have like a 50 but besides that this is a very important consideration for people out there given the fact that respiratory viruses are coming now typically with the flu shot and the covid booster it's about 10 to 14 days after you get the shot when you're going to get optimal protection so you want to try to think about what.
Are you going to be doing are you going to be traveling this winter when do you want to make sure you're fully protected if you're high risk above the age of 65 or imuno compromised it's a good idea to go out and get those shots whenever you can in general I like to say early October early October is a good time to make sure that you are protected before.
Holidays start it gives people time to get organized to make sure you go get in those shots but for others out there September might be a great time as well important reminder that you can get the covid and the flu shot at the same time you can even get it with RSV it is totally safe and effective to do so this is also a good time to make sure that.
You're caught up on other vaccines as well so definitely get in there and get those shots before you plan all your fun fall and winter festivities all right sounds good Dr L Batel thank you thank you and if you have any questions for Dr battel leave him a message on our Instagram feed he might answer your question right here next week and.

Biggest opening weekend for an R-rated movie ever Nick Paulie you started all of that you're the first thing we see in the movie how does all of this success feel it's incredible I it almost doesn't feel real I was asked to perform that original choreography that Darren Hensen made you know however many years ago and uh so I learned that from the music.
Video and the rest was just freestyle and I think I'm lucky enough to uh kind of act and move a little similarly to Deadpool I think I have a little bit of Deadpool in me and a little bit of that sarcastic flare even in my movement it's it's truly mesmerizing it's it's amazing how I can receive so.
Much people's reactions you know through the internet now 10 million Tik Tok views in a single day what does that feel like um also unreal you try to imagine 10 million people and you can't it's again really cool to like be connecting with people who love it yeah and one of the people who loves it is Ryan Reynolds he has said that he's.
Happy to ride your coattails and thank you for your contributions and services what was it like dancing in front of him cuz he was on set a little bit when you were on set as well well he was there for the first 10 minutes he had a whole day of shooting and uh he was watching and while he was watching he was peeling off his makeup.
For the movie and so my first time meeting Ryan it was a quick handshake hello so good to meet you I can't wait to watch you and then as I'm doing the dance on set I can see in the corner of my eye him just peeling his face off and laughing and I I won't forget that because I don't think many people can say that no no and the fact that you.
Were able to continue dancing as Ryan Reynolds is peeling his face off I mean that's a testament to your focus as I'm like hyperventilating as well the the costume is pretty constricting I'm not going to lie it was hard to breathe in that thing and they were attentive they were aware but in order for to in order to get the costume off you have to unzip.
The back take off the shoulders and then take off the top there's like this whole top thing so I'm like I'm like this trying to just get some air wow but it was um a lot happening all at once I I as a queer person certainly wouldn't assume that maybe there's a spot for a queer dancer in a major superhero action movie and yet here you are on the big.
Screen playing dance pool yeah what is arriving at this moment like for you I think that's kind of the best part of it I really love that question um I think a lot of quer people um I mean you know so many people love to perform so many people have dreams of being a superhero in their own way in times that I don't fit in I like to just.
Say that I'm standing out um but I would tell my younger self that you know I'm going to be experiencing that a lot and it's because I'm I'm meant to stand out and um I say that with pride you're in the MCU that's a huge MCU like yeah it's so cool and now I've never felt like I've had a wor idea than trying to do any of.

State of the race Donald Trump hits the campaign Trail in Pennsylvania as coma Harris announces the launch of a Battleground State bus tour what a new ABC News ipsos poll says about both candidates and whether they're prepared to accept the outcome of the election tragic accident Hockey Star Johnny gdo and his brother hit and killed by an.
Alleged drunk driver while riding their bikes the investigation now underway and what we're learning about the driver who was arrested and holiday travel Rush TSA in the thick of the busiest day of the weekend the best and worst times to head out and severe storms that could impact their holiday travel.
Plans hi everyone I'm Eva Pilgrim our top story this hour laying out her agenda vice president kamla Harris sitting down for her first media interview since becoming the Democratic Presidential nominee Harris and and her running mate Tim wall speaking to CNN about their top priorities if they win in.
November day one it's going to be about one implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in.
Families on the GOP side former president Donald Trump is back on the campaign Trail today with a rally in another key swing state this time it's Pennsylvania RJ O'Brien joins me now along with contributing political correspondent Rachel bade Jay let's start with you I'm curious what stood out to you from that interview last.
Night and do you think we're going to start seeing Harris talk more to the Press well we've seen the Harris campaign certainly indicate that more interviews are in her future including one-on-one interviews because that was an interview in which Tim Walls was also in the room and terms of headlines that stood out there's a few but the one that.
Got the most headlines was Harris saying that she would be willing to include a republican in her cabinet and that her vision for her cabinet should she be elected includes a republican she said she didn't have anyone exactly in mind uh but the most contentious part of the interview uh was roughly around well there were two one was when Harris was.
Asked to address those personal attacks Donald Trump has leveled at her uh questioning her race uh she just somewhat said next question and said it was same old same old out of trump and then there was this exchange about Harris and alleged flip-flopping Republicans have criticize Harris for flip-flopping on various things from the.
Last time she ran for president to this campaign one of them is fracking she said she was against fracking and now she has not said that um obviously Pennsylvania is a state that's very much in play and it's a must-win state for both campaigns Harris responded to that in a way that's not necessarily going to quell those attacks from Republicans she.
Said that her values have not changed but she didn't necessarily address why someone for policy positions had all right Rachel let's talk about former president Trump yesterday he said he'd make IVF treatments free if he's reelected what's behind this new promise one word for you Eva desperation I mean Donald Trump right now he is.
Looking at the polls he's looking at the enthusiasm surrounding Harris uh in her campaign and clearly you know he's a little green a little envious he's trying to do something anything uh to blunt her momentum and what we've seen is him sort of flip-flopping on abortion and just yesterday with this sort of NBC interview IVF was one of the sort of.
Pieces of news he made there but he also suggested that he was opposed to Florida's six- we abortion ban which is going to be on the ballot this fall his campaign later sort of walked that back when the pro-life Community was up in arms over his comment he also mentioned as you just said this IVF proposal that Americans are going to get free IVF if.
They're having fertil uh struggles or that they were going to mandate insurance companies cover that this is not something you hear Republicans talking about ever Eva and just a couple weeks ago uh in fact Democrats said put a bill on the senate floor that would have mandated insurance companies cover IVF guess what all but.
Three Republicans ended up voting against it so he's sort of uh pulling out these ideas trying to win over voters but the truth is when it comes to abortion The Narrative is sort of already baked people see him as the person who over turned row and actually bragged about it just a few weeks ago Jay we have to talk about this new ABC.
News ipsos poll on Election legitimacy break down what the numbers show us here yeah a 68% of those pulled said they believed kamla Harris is prepared to accept the outcome of this election regardless of what it is on the flip side of that you see some of the numbers on your screen 67% just about the same number said that.
They don't believe Donald Trump is prepared to do do the same thing to accept the outcome of a legitimate election and obviously that is concerning given the events of the last election in 2020 uh the other thing to keep in mind is the party breakdown here so this one is a little bit of more of a silver lining 89% of Democrats said they.
Personally are prepared to accept the outcome of this election only about 11% of Democrats said that they would not accept the outcome or not necessarily prepared to and for Republicans it was also a high number 70 8% of Republicans said they were personally prepared to accept the outcome of this election but there was a higher number of Republicans.
Than Democrats who said they were not prepared to accept the outcome 19% of Republicans said that they're not prepared right now to accept the outcome of this election interesting numbers to look at Jay O'Brien Rachel Bay thank you both for being with us and September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for.
The first time right here on ABC News again that is September 10th at 9:00 Eastern and you can watch it right here on ABC News live well it's time to buckle up for the holiday travel rush and if you're headed to the airport today leave early it's expected to be the busiest travel day of the Labor Day weekend TSA officials preparing to.
Screen at least 2.8 million passengers today alone with Chicago DFW and Atlanta expected to be the busiest airport hubs airport officials in those cities warning that Stormy Weather could be a wild card but it's not just the skies the roads will be packed with traffic too AAA warning Millions more Americans will take a road trip this holiday.
Weekend our business reporter Alexis christopherus is tracking it all she joins us now all right Alexis oh boy what do we need to know as we head into this record-breaking travel weekend it's been a record-breaking travel summer right we've had to pack our patients because there have been cancellations there have been delays so.
Far so good look Labor Day is not July 4th it's not Thanksgiving weekend so travel will will be big but not as big as those weekends lotss of folks are kids are back at school right but as you said and it's worth re saying some of these numbers 17 million plus expected to fly through Wednesday that's up8 and a half% from last year most of these.
Trips are domestic by the way 2.8 million expected to fly today alone a big reason why air fares are actually down according to Hopper uh airfares are down 5% versus last Labor Day and actually down 177% versus 2019 that's pre pandemic oh wow those are good numbers to hear let's talk about about gas prices yeah how is that going to.
Factor into all of this you know not as much as you might think but it's certainly helpful I don't think it's a make or break decision for folks who were going to take to the road anyway but the good news here is if you are taking to the road for Labor Day weekend it's going to cost you less to um to fill up your tank gas now at 335 a.
Gallon uh that's about 50 cents below where it was last year um so that's some good news for drivers and again record number of people expected to take to the road this this long weekend I feel like people are just traveling more in general they are what does that tell us because you know we also talk a lot about how.
Inflation and everything costs more is there a confidence that people have that they're willing to spend their money I think it's people are picking and choosing where they're spending their money and it's still on experiences versus things uh so we may have less money I think a lot of us are getting used to unfortunately sticky inflation.
Higher prices but we're still believing that there's value in travel there's value in spending time with the family and I think those cheaper airf fares and the lower gas are helping people will make that decision too we're going to see all those people out there this weekend Oh me included I'm hitting the road in a little while.
Same good luck to pray for us thank you and that extreme weather is threatening to disrupt travel for millions of Americans This Labor Day weekend severe storms slam the Midwest overnight bringing strong winds hail and even tornadoes at least four reported Twisters touchdown in Wisconsin and Minnesota tennis ball-sized hail also.
Slammed parts of Virginia yesterday so heavy that it actually covered the ground there ABC News Meteorologist Melissa Griffin is tracking the forecast for us Melissa how is our Labor Day weekend looking well Eva it's looking good in a lot of spots but we got to get through these storms first if you're traveling today or tomorrow now the good.
Thing about the storms it's going to break this heat finally but we have one more day to deal with this feeling like the triple digits across the board from Ohio all the way to the Deep South we still have a heat advisory from St Louis to Charleston where it feels like over 99 degrees there but here's the storms and we have two Pockets I'm watching for.
Potential travel issues due to these storms Detroit here if you're flying out of Detroit airport or traveling there this is the area we could see severe weather damaging winds large hail isolated tornadoes not out of the question and that threat stretches back to St Louis now here on the East Coast another area Rowan Oak Charlotte to.
Raleigh if you're going up 95 across I40 later this evening watch for storms there as well this entire system will then push into the Northeast overnight tonight throughout the day tomorrow so start starting off the holiday weekend if you have outdoor plans in the Northeast Harrisburg Scranton PA just west of New York City but does include.
Philly Baltimore and DC later tomorrow that's where we could see those damaging winds hail flash flooding and then we'll finally see it all wrap up we do have flash flood warnings though in effect for New Orleans so if you're in the Deep South today watch out for that heavy rain as well Eva good information for all of this as we head into the weekend.

Guilty this will be his first court appearance today in this case it may be very quick it may just be a couple of minutes to say judge I'm here he the counts against him then set a date for a guilty plea down the road but that is a deal that he's made to help out and to say you know what I will admit to these counts to uh supplying the the drugs to.
Dr Placencia to make that system work so they could eventually get to Matthew Perry in return getting likely a lesser sentence out of it you you were talking about that plead on the possible lesser sentence uh what are they hoping to get out of him in that deal well really the focus of this investigation is on two people it is on the woman known as the k.
Queen Jasmine Sangha and on Dr Placencia they are the two who are not yet pleading guilty everybody else is pleading guilty in this case and they are the ones that the prosecutors are really focused in on the ones who allegedly were supplying the ketamine and in the case of Sangha the deadly dose of ketamine that they want to go.
After and and Dr Placencia seen here could be looking at 120 years in prison if he's convicted she could be looking at decades in bars behind bars as well but for Dr Chavez a San Diego physician still has his medical license cannot write prescriptions a DEA has taken that away from him but still has his.
California medical license at most 10 years in prison likely as part of a plea deal a lot less but but up to a decade in prison up to a decade in prison and I know there are other people involved in this case other than just the three that you've mentioned so far how do you see this playing out with those people as well yeah all of them either are.
Pleading guilty at this point except for the two Dr Placencia and Sangha the who's called the camine queen of Los Angeles the others are all helping including Matthew Perry's assistant who he is the one in a lot of these documents and and there are many of them in these indictments and plea deals where really it was allegedly the.
Assistant reaching out to uh the doctors and to Sangha saying we need more ketamine that the client he called himself uh Batman 's assistant Batman's butler is what he called him Batman was the name that Matthew Perry went by and that he was reaching out to them saying he needs more and they need more of it right now well he is now according to.
Prosecutors working with them as well he has worked with the LAPD with the DEA saying here's how it all went down and again they're really going after Dr Placencia and and Sangha to say they were the suppliers of these drugs allegedly and they are the ones looking at the most time in prison Alex Stone thank you so much for your reporting.
There turning now Health officials are reporting at least 18 West Nile Virus deaths including two in Wisconsin and one in Illinois as more cases of the mosquito born illness are popping up across the us right now at least 33 states are reporting West Nile activity with CDC data showing the most cases currently in Texas anywhere from 1 to.
200 deaths from West Nile are typically reported globally each year but now many regions across the country are taking major major precautions in Missouri an 18-year-old boy is fighting for his life on a ventilator after Contracting the virus his parents say it started with headaches and dizziness then spirals into vomiting disorientation and a high.
Fever let's bring in Dr Peter jorz co-director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for vaccine development and Dean of the national school of tropical medicine at Baylor College of Medicine um doctor I guess let's start with what are the most effective ways to prevent mosquito byes and Ely just kind of reduce our risk of getting the West.
Nile Virus in the first place yeah and it is accelerating and this is the peak time of year so especially you know these are uh trans this virus is transmitted by the clex mosquito which is often most active in the in the pre-dawn early morning hours and then in the evening so for example in where I am in Texas where we have the largest.
Number of West Nile Virus cases I try to get my 10,000 steps in and I do walking early in the morning and in the evening and and what I do is I have a full hooded sweatshirt on and sweatpants and and socks and sneakers and a hat and then on the exposed areas I put on uh insect repellent containing DEET on both the dorsal and Palmer surface of my.
Hands and around my neck and and you know sometimes my neighbors look at me you know wearing shorts and t-shirts and but I use it as a teachable moment I explain look the reason you have to do it now is because this is when we are seeing a lot of West Nile cases and I am hearing about uh individuals going into intensive care units with westnile virus.
And sephtis as you described so I you know it's it's not fun to walk around like that at this time of the year when it's so hot but I I think it's really important to do that let's talk about that other thing you just mentioned there the Eastern equin sephtis Triple E another rare but potentially lethal mosquito born virus uh what do we need.
To know about the differences in risk and the symptoms between these two well the difference is west Nile you know we typically will get hundreds or even thousands of cases every year um one of our worst years was in 2012 in Texas Eastern incilius is another very serious virus infection with a much higher percentage.
Of cases resulting in EN sephtis the good news is it's a much more it's a much rarer disease we typically will only see you know a handful of cases a year but we are seeing um several uh serious cases uh in in Massachusetts in New Hampshire and New England I believe in New Jersey maybe one in Wisconsin and we have seen cases in Florida so it's.
One of those that also starts occurring this time of year but but much less common but again this it's the same type of mosquito prevention measures that you want to think about that we would use for West Nile Dr Peter hotz thank you so much for making time for us thank you well coming up what we're learning about a deadly shootout involving police.

Plans hi hi everyone I'm Eva Pilgrim my top story this hour laying out her agenda vice president Kam Hara sitting down for her first media interview since becoming the Democratic Presidential nominee Harris and her running mate Tim wall speaking to CNN about their top priorities if they win in November day one it's going to be about.
One implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in families on the GOP side former.
President Donald Trump is back on the campaign Trail today with a rally in another key swing state this time it's Pennsylvania r j O'Brien joins me now along with contributing political correspondent Rachel bade Jay let's start with you I'm curious what stood out to you from that interview last night and do you think we're going to.
Start seeing Harris talk more to the Press well we've seen the Harris campaign certainly indicate that more interviews are in her future including one-on-one interviews because that was an interview in which Tim Walls was also in the room in terms of headlines that stood out there's a few but the one that got the most headlines was Harris saying.
That she would be willing to include a republican in her cabinet and that her vision for her cabinet should she be elected includes a republican she said she didn't have anyone exactly in mind uh but the most contentious part of the interview uh was roughly around well there were two one was when Harris was asked to address those personal attacks.
Donald Trump has leveled at her uh questioning her race uh she just somewhat said next question and said it was same old same old out of trump and then there was this exchange about Harris an alleged flip-flopping Republicans have criticized Harris for flip-flopping on various things from the last time she ran for president to this.
Campaign one of them is fracking she said she was against fracking and now she has not said that um obviously Pennsylvania is a state that's very much in and it's a must-win state for both campaigns Harris responded to that in a way that's not necessarily going to quell those attacks from Republicans she said that her values have not changed.
But she didn't necessarily address why some for policy positions had all rightel let's talk about former president Trump yesterday he said he'd make IVF treatments free if he's reelected what's behind this new promise one word for you Eva desperation I mean Donald Trump right now he is looking at the polls he's looking at the.
Enthusiasm surrounding Harris uh and her campaign and clearly you know he's a little green a little envious he's trying to do something anything uh to blunt her momentum and what we've seen is him sort of flip-flopping on abortion and just yesterday with this sort of NBC interview IVF was one of the sort of pieces of news he made there but he also.
Suggested that he was opposed to Florida's 6we abortion ban which is going to be on the ballot this fall his campaign later sort of walked that back back when the pro-life Community was up in arms over his comment he also mentioned as you just said this IVF proposal that Americans are going to get free IVF if they're having fertility uh.
Struggles or that they were going to mandate insurance companies cover that this is not something you hear Republicans talking about ever Eva and just a couple weeks ago uh in fact Democrats said put a bill on the senate floor that would have mandated insurance companies cover IVF guess what all but three Republicans ended up voting.
Against it so he's sort of uh pulling out these ideas trying to win over voters but the truth is when it comes to abortion The Narrative is sort of already baked people see him as the person who overturned row and actually bragged about it just a few weeks ago Jay we have to talk about this new ABC News IPOs poll on Election legitimacy.
Break down what the numbers show us here yeah a 68% of those ped said they believed kamla Harris is prepared to accept the outcome of this election regardless of what it is on the flip side of that you see some of the numbers on your screen 67% just about the same number said that they don't believe Donald Trump is.
Prepared to do the same thing to accept the outcome of a legitimate election and obviously that is concerning given the events of the last election in 2020 uh the other thing to keep in mind is the party breakdown here so this one is a little bit of more of a silver lining 89% of Democrats said they personally are prepared to accept the outcome of.
This election only about 11% of Democrats said that they would not accept the outcome or not necessarily prepared to and for Republicans it was also a high number 78% of Republicans said they were personally prepared to accept the outcome of this election but there was a higher number of Republicans than Democrats who said they were not.
Prepared to accept the outcome 19% of Republicans said that they're not prepared right now to accept the outcome of this election interesting numbers to look at Jay O'Brien Rachel B thank you both for being with with us and September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time right here on ABC.
News again that is September 10th at 9:00 Eastern and you can watch it right here on ABC News live well it's time to buckle up for the holiday travel rush and if you're headed to the airport today leave early it's expected to be the busiest travel day of the Labor Day weekend TSA officials preparing to screen at least 2.8 million passengers.
Today alone with Chicago DFW and Atlanta expected to be the busiest airport hubs airport officials in those cities warning that Stormy Weather could be a wild card but it's not just the skies the roads will be packed with traffic too triaa warning Millions more Americans will take a road trip this holiday weekend our business reporter.
Alexis christopherus is tracking it all she joins us now all right Alexis oh boy what do we need to know as we head into this record-breaking travel weekend it's been a record-breaking travel summer right we've had to pack our patients because there have been cancellations there have been delays so far so good look Labor Day is not July.
4th it's not Thanksgiving weekend so travel will be big but not as big as those weekends lots of folks are kids are back at school right but as you said and it's worth re saying some of these numbers 17 million plus expected to fly through Wednesday that's up 8 and a half% from last year most of these trips are domestic by the way 2.8 million.
Expected to fly today alone a big reason why air fares are actually down according to Hopper uh air fairs are down 5% versus last Labor Day and actually down 177% versus 2019 that's pre pandemic oh wow those are good numbers to hear let's talk about gas prices yeah how is that going to factor into all of this you know not as much as.
You might think but it's certainly helpful I don't think it's a make or break decision for folks who are going to take to the road anyway but the good news here is if you are taking to the road for Labor Day weekend it's going to cost you less to um to fill up your tank gas now at 335 a gallon uh that's about 50 cents below where it was last year um.
So that's some good news for drivers and again record number of people expected to take to the road this this long weekend I feel like people are just traveling more in general they are what does that tell us because you know we also talk a lot about how inflation and everything costs more is there a confidence that people have that they're.
Willing to spend their money I think it's people are picking and choosing where they're spending their money and it's still on experiences versus things uh so we may have less money I think a lot of us are getting used to unfortunately stick inflation higher prices but we're still believing that there's value in travel there's value in.
Spending time with the family and I think those cheaper air fars and the lower gas are helping people make that decision too we're going to see all those people out there this weekend Oh me included I'm hitting the road in a little while same luck us yes pray for us thank you and that extreme weather is threatening.
To disrupt travel for millions of Americans This Labor Day weekend severe storms slam the Midwest overnight bringing strong winds hail and even tornadoes at least four reported Twisters touchdown in Wisconsin and Minnesota tennis ball-sized hail also slam parts of Virginia yesterday so heavy that it actually covered the.

More day to deal with this feeling like the triple it's across the board from Ohio all the way to the Deep South we still have a heat advisory from St Louis to Charleston where it feels like over 99 degre there but here's the storms and we have two pockets I'm watching for potential travel issues due to these storms Detroit here if you're flying out.

Hi everyone I'm Eva Pilgrim our top story this hour of heist president kamla Harris finally sitting down for her first interview since becoming the Democratic Presidential nominee Harris and her running mate Tim wall speaking to CNN about their top priorities if they win in November day one it's going to be about.
One implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in families on the other side of the aisle.
Former president Donald Trump is rallying in Pennsylvania today as he continues to campaign in the Rust Belt states this week White House correspondent Mary Alis parks and contributing political correspondent Rachel bade join me now Mary Alice let's start with you Harris was questioned last night on why she shifted her views.
On immigration and fra in what stood out to you from her explanations yeah we've been talking about this today Rachel and I agree that it looked like she was really making a play for the center for moderates I mean she was moderating her opinion on both immigration and fracking I talked to some progressives in the party that told.
Me that they were gutted after listening to that interview they were really hoping that she was going to put some distance between herself and President Biden uh you know on fracking really interesting that seems like a clear play for Pennsylvania of course that issue front and center there in that crucial swing State uh she showed very little.
Willingness to sort of uh have any Nuance on that subject she said she was not for a ban on fracking but she did say she wants to continue to work towards reducing uh carbon emissions and that that she believes the country should should be should still be setting really aggressive goals when it comes to Bringing Down uh greenhouse gas.
Admissions on immigration interesting she pitched herself as the Law and Order candidate said that she was the only one in this race who had actually worked on uh going after people that were trafficking guns and people across the across the the border that she was the one that was an attorney general from a border state she went after Trump uh for.
Sinking that bipartisan immigration bill that the that we saw the Senate negotiate uh she didn't talk about uh what Trump did in office remember there were a lot of Democrats who were really frustrated by how how sort of severe his policies were on the border she did not bring that up again instead really pitched herself as the Centrist.
Candidate Eva Rachel former president Trump also apparently shifting his views on reproductive care what is he saying now and I'm curious how this is sitting with conservatives yeah Eva I can tell you that a lot of pro-life Republicans have sort of always looked at Trump for what he is when it comes to their cause he's.
Somebody who has sort of flip-flopped when it comes to the abortion matters over the years he used to be uh somebody who called himself pro-choice then he called himself pro-life but what they have always sort of counted on Donald Trump for is this consistency and that when he's in office he's going to deliver for them even if his heart and.
Soul is not in the same position that that theirs is in when it comes to whether or not people should have the right to abortion access they knew that he was going to appoint uh conservatives to the Supreme Court that were going to potentially try to overturn row that he was going to uh do what he can to to protect what they call sort of Life.
Matters now that is all up you know in arms right now right I should say now they're questioning that right now and they are up in arms in particular because yesterday he gave this interview with NBC uh where he um you know went further than suggesting that he was not going to support a nationwide abortion ban he said that he thought the entire.
Country should have access to IVF and that it should be taxpayer funded or that insurance companies should be required to uh cover that sort of cover that sort of uh fertility benefit now that is something a lot of folks in the uh so-called pro-life movement they're not sure that they they like that and in fact a lot of them do not like that they.
See IVF treatments as something that contributes to um you know uh basically goes beyond uh abortions when it comes to freezing embryos or discarding them so they're really not happy with what they're seeing right now in Donald Trump um and right now they've been complaining to the campaign to try to get it walk get him to walk back but the.
The reality is here Eva that he sees he's losing um and he's trying to change his position Mary Alice we have a new ABC News ipsos poll on Election legitimacy break these numbers down for us yeah even so interesting we see a gap between Democrats and Republicans here 92% of Harris voters our new poll say they are prepared to accept the election.
Results but isn't this interesting 21% of trump supporters say right now they are not prepared to accept the election results when we look back to what happened in 2020 and how voters perceive that it seems like uh Trump's you know big lie what we talked about sort of his his his continued election denialism has really resonated 34% of Americans say.
That they think Joe Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 election of course I think it's important to point out that because of the number of Investigations court cases and audits that were conducted after the 2020 election largely because of Trump's claims uh experts believe that it was actually the most safe most secure and.
Most well-documented election that we maybe have ever had you know I'm thinking back to that Republican Le audit in Arizona almost a year later that showed that actually Joe Biden won even more votes than they originally thought uh so really unbelievable that some of the messaging around the election has been able to resonate with.
Voters even when the facts haven't shown that Parks Rachel bade thank you both for being with us and September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time right here on ABC News again that is September 10th at 9:00 Eastern and you can watch it right here on ABC News.
Live well it is time to buckle up for the holiday travel rush and if you are headed to the airport today leave early it's expected to be the busiest travel day of the Labor Day weekend TSA officials preparing to screen at least 2.8 million passengers today alone with Chicago DFW and Atlanta expected to be the busiest airport hubs airport.
Officials in those cities warning that Stormy Weather could be a wild card but it's not just the skies the roads will be packed with traffic as well triaa warning Millions more Americans will take a road trip this holiday weekend ABC's news Transportation reporter Sam Sweeney is tracking all of this for us and he joins me now Sam let's start with.
The skies how is the TSA preparing to handle this surge in passengers that we're expecting well TSA says this will likely be the busiest Labor Day travel period ever and as you said 2.8 million people or even more could pass through security screening checkpoints today alone and lines at the busiest airports could be a little bit longer than you.
May expect and it's going to be a very busy weekend Monday we'll also see a rush if you are traveling by Road make sure you leave early getting the busiest Labor Day weekend on record we've seen some problems before that had nothing to do do with the weather uh what about operations how are they dealing with the.
Operations the Staffing are we seeing any delays because of that right now things are looking pretty good across the country there are just roughly 200 cancellations you know now think about this there's more than 40,000 departures today so that is less than 1% um of all flights uh as weather moves across the country though we could see that number.
Tick up throughout the day but yes there are a number of flights delayed we should see ground delay and ground stops um throughout the country over the weekend as this weather moves across the country but remember a ground stop does not mean the airport is closed it just means they are holding some flights back at their originating airport so they can.
Leave a little bit more space um as they go through these flow programs to keep things moving think of it as a game of Tetris they've got to move all these pieces around and get them in to fit perfectly uh both in the sky and on the ground at these airports very complicated Tetris you have to remember that as well right we also have to talk.
About the roads here millions are preparing to take a road trip when is the best time to hit the road if you're going to head out if you haven't left already today you probably want to wait until after 7 p.m. once the rush hour is gone it's also going to be busy uh Monday afternoon into Monday evening if you're planning on traveling on Monday.
You probably want to leave early in the morning Sam Sweeney some good advice for people there thank you so much thank you an extreme weather threatening to disrupt travel for millions of Americans This Labor Day weekend severe storms slam the Midwest overnight bringing storm strong winds hail and even tornadoes at.
Least four reported Twisters touchdown in Wisconsin and Minnesota tennis ball-sized hail also slam parts of Virginia yesterday you can see they're covering the ground ABC News Meteorologist Melissa Griffin is tracking the forecast for us Melissa how's it all shaping up well Eva we have a couple of travel spots that I want to.
Kind of point out where we could see some severe weather through late this evening really very isolated though so that is some good news but Detroit area that's the main spot in the bullseye for the threat for severe storms through tonight damaging winds flash flooding a few tornadoes can't be ruled out in parts of the great lak stretching back.
To St Louis another area of isolated storms too here in the east coast Raleigh up through Rowan Oak Virginia and all of this will move into the Northeast as we head into late tonight throughout the day tomorrow so this area highlighted in yellow this is where we do have that threat for organized severe storms throughout the day on Saturday.
From Albany New York to Scranton PA back their parts of New Jersey including Philadelphia Baltimore DC so up and down the I95 Corridor if you're still traveling to get to your holiday plans tomorrow watch out for those storms one more spot today to watch for is the flood watch here in New Orleans lots of heavy rain moving across the region and.
Across the Gulf Coast and unfortunately that's the trend that I think is going to stick around right through the holiday weekend including Labor Day unsettled weather across the Gulf Coast but Eva look at all these sunshines lots of great weather from coast to coast from California to the plains drier and cooler here in the East so got to end.
With some good news that looks great out there on Labor Day for most of the country we'll take the good news Melissa Griffin thank you so much well now to a tragedy in the World of Sports Johnny gdo one of the greatest American hockey players of all time is dead after getting hit by an alleged drunk driver in Southern New Jersey last night Morgan.
Norwood joins us me now here in the studio and Morgan you know what are we learning about what happened here I meaning you hit the nail on the head here I mean it's just absolutely tragic and horrific and even we've got more reaction pouring in from this Sports World from his former teens to fans I mean they're all weighing in on just how.
Uh thick the grief is here's what we know at this hour Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny G killed as he was biking with his younger brother uh Matthew in their hometown of Salem County New Jersey this was last night but I think what's so heartbreaking about this is that the two brothers were in town for their sister's wedding uh they were both.
Groom men as well that wedding set for today actually police say the driver identified as Sean Higgins plowed his Jeep into the two while he was trying to pass another SUV then he took off from the scene but authorities did later catch up to them and they believed the driver was drunk and Under the Influence allegedly even telling cops that he had.
Five to six beers uh we know that Higgins is charged with two counts of death by Otto he's also facing additional charges uh but as you can imagine Eva I mean this is just heartbreaking he was a celebrated forward considered a legend from even uh his college days this morning the Columbus Blue Jackets uh releasing this.
Statement here saying in part Johnny played the game with great joy uh which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice were also hearing from Almer ma Boston College where he was a standout player I mean he won several Awards LED them to the national title um considered the nation's best Collegiate player his brother also played at BC and they held.
A press conference a short time ago in reaction to that tragedy um here's what their coaches had to say brought a ton of Joy to the ring they were happy to be there like truly happy to be there big smiles all the time the things they could do on the ice know that's what people who don't know them remember because they were.
Both magical in their own ways but uh everyone just love having them on the team they were tremendous teammates how choked up they were just explaining what those two brothers meant to them I think what's so heartbreaking about this as well is that you know the sister who has a wedding today um supposed to be the happiest day of her.
Life is now marred by this tragedy here Eva yeah it was supposed to be a weekend of joy and it's definitely not that right now Morgan thank you coming out Israeli forces say they killed a local Hamas commander in the occupied West Bank today we'll have the latest from Israel where the war is.

Moderated by David mure and Lindsey Davis Tuesday September 10th live on ABC and streaming on ABC News live Hulu and Disney plus the ABC News presidential debate thanks for streaming with us Israeli forces say they killed a local Hamas commander in the occupied West.
Bank today Hamas confirmed the killing in a separate statement it's part of a major operation in the West Bank that Israel says is necessary to eliminate threats from Hamas and other militant groups in the region but the UN is warning against escalation of the war saying the humanitarian situation is dire with tens of thousands of.
Palestinians in four refugee camps already impacted by the operation which is now in its Third Day ABC News foreign correspondent Britt Clint joins me now from Jerusalem and Brit um give us the latest on the situ situation there with the Israeli operation in the West Bank well Eva what we have experienced over the last two days has been quite.
Astonishing um although the operation is now in its third day on the first day we witnessed a strong military presence in a village called bedria uh we saw locals throwing rocks at IDF Jeeps we saw soldiers walk down the roads pointing their guns at storefronts and we spoke to a resident who said that the operations had been going since 4:00.
A.m. that that morning and that there were still on and we were speaking to him around 8:00 p.m. uh 7:38 p.m. that night and he said of course they're still here so there is a lot of hostility and then yesterday we were at Farah Camp uh which is uh basically one of the camps that endured a 30-hour raid now let's remember this is one of the.
Biggest IDF raid uh operation that we've seen since 2002 the place was destroyed in many parts you know you'd walk along the main road and it was just gutted out by bulldozers we saw Puck marks from bullets all along the sides a medic told me that he treated dozens of of wounds but many gun wounds he said uh that he actually.
Couldn't get people to the hospitals because the the whole Camp had been sealed off by IDF uh forces Israeli forces have killed at least 12 people in the West Bank so far and the UN says that Israel is quote fueling an already explosive situation there how does this operation affect the larger War and the prospect of a.
Ceasefire deal yeah I think one interesting thing you know that we've learned especially speaking to people is the fear that this could be a third front in the war we have Gaza we know that tensions are high with Hezbollah on the northern border and the fear is is that the war in Gaza could spread to the West Bank and I.
Think for Palestinians the parallels are not lost on them as for ceasefire talks well it's definitely not going to help discussions but you know speaking frankly it doesn't look like those are making much Headway anyway you know discussions are underway we know that mediators are trying their best to to keep uh those talks alive but what we do.
Know is that Hamas does not accept uh the idea that there will be any military presence in Gaza and that is one of their r lines that Israel is insisting on BR a massive polio vaccination campaign is about to begin this Sunday for children in Gaza what's the latest on that so this is good news 650,000.
Children need this vaccine it will be rolled out in three stages it is a limited pause I must stress and it's only in designated areas but it is welcome news uh for those people for those people in those uh extremely dense areas who are living uh in filthy conditions and and fear the spread of disease but this is something that Aid.
Groups have uh been really begging for for weeks and they fear that polio is just the start that with these conditions and people being squeezed into small humanitarian areas that more diseases will spread either ABC's Brit clinet thank you so much for joining us Brit for more on this let's bring in isan Thor he's the international Affairs.
Columnist for the Washington Post and has been following these developments closely thank you so much for being with us let's start with you know this operation is Israel's largest incursion into the West Bank in years we heard Britt talking about that what is Israel's ingame there good to be with Eva um you know.
It's important to remember that before the events of October 7th uh when when Hamas carried out it its hideous terror attack on Southern Israel uh the the real theater of operations and of concern among policy makers activists NGS and so forth was the West Bank you'd seen a growing amount of militancy in Janine in particular and and certain.
Other parts of the territory you'd seen um a settler movement an Israeli settler movement in the West Bank emboldened by the country's faride government carry out all sorts of attacks and provocations on Palestinians living in their midst and so there was a sense well before October 7th that things were getting worse they were reaching a.
Boiling point there was a fear growing militancy in Janine and in other these other areas um and then of course since October 7th uh there's been a massive uptick in violence and Israeli strikes hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 7th although of course our Focus has principally been on uh the astonishing.
Devastation of Gaza uh during this time and uh and this move which is of course the biggest set of operations outside of Gaza that Israel's carried out since October 7th is a reflection of um immediate Israeli security concerns about uh certain militant cells operating in the West Bank but also a reflection of a desire among the Israeli.
Leadership to really put the foot down on Palestinians and this is an continuation of that the Israeli delegation left Qatar today with no progress being made on ceasefire talks do you see any cause for optimism going forward there uh this point I'm afraid I I don't think so the the consensus and this is.
What you hear from us officials Arab officials even some Israeli interlocutors is that this current government led by prime minister Netanyahu is not particularly interested in uh in a ceasefire along the terms certainly that Hamas would want it wants to maintain uh an element of deao control or military control over pots of.
Gaza it wants to reserve the right to resume hostilities in the medium term uh and that for Hamas is a non-starter and so we're seeing this continuing immiseration of the G of Gaza as a territory and continuing Israeli strikes and continuing violence we heard Brett mention this concern about the war on three fronts right now Israel is.
Fighting on three fronts in Gaza Southern Lebanon and the West Bank is this sustainable for Israel do you see this escalating into some sort of wider Regional War I mean that's the that's the big question and and you know us official s who you talk to are desperate that this does not explode into configuration.
They've spent a lot of their energies in recent months trying to ensure that um Israel's actions as much as the US supports them don't uh trigger a spiral of escalation and I think in the most recent flare up with Iran we saw that um um fears over escalation there have not come to pass um but at the same time it's important to recognize that within.
Israel uh there is a very embolden far-right movement that is up in arm since October 7th uh and that really really wants to see much tougher action on the perceived enemies in Israel's midst asan Thor of the Washington Post thank you so much for your analysis good to be with you coming up the Russian bomb attack on Ukraine's.

Your holiday travel plans hi everyone I'm Eva Pilgrim our top story this hour laying out her agenda vice president kamla Harris sitting down for her first media interview since becoming the Democratic Presidential nominee Harris and her running mate Tim wall speaking to CNN.
About their top priorities if they win in November day one it's going to be about one implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest.
In America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in families on the GOP side former president Donald Trump is back on the campaign Trail today with a rally in another key swing state this time it's Pennsylvania RJ O'Brien joins me now along with contributing political correspondent Rachel bade Jay let's.
Start with you I'm curious what stood out to you from that interview last night and do you think we're going to start seeing Harris talk more to the Press well we've seen the Harris campaign certainly indicate that more interviews are in her future including one-on-one interviews because that was an interview in which Tim Walls was also.
In the room in terms of headlines that stood out there's a few but the one that got the most headlines was Harris saying that she would be willing to include a republican in her cabinet and that her vision for her cabinet should she be elected includes a republican she said she didn't have anyone exactly in mind uh but the most contentious part of the.
Interview uh was roughly around well there were two one was when Harris was asked to address those personal attacks Donald Trump has leveled at her uh questioning her race uh she just somewhat said next question and said it was same old same old out of trump and then there was this exchange about Harris and alleged flip-flopping.
Republicans have criticized Harris for flip-flopping on various things from the last time she ran for president to this campaign one of them is fracking she said she was against fracking and now she has not said that um obviously Pennsylvania is a state that's very much in play and it's a must-win state for both campaigns haris responded to that.
In a way that's not necessarily going to quell those attacks from Republicans she said that her values have not changed but she didn't necessarily address why some for policy positions had all right Rachel let's talk about former president Trump yesterday he said he'd make IVF treatments free if he's reelected what's behind this new.
Promise one word for you Eva desperation I mean Donald Trump right now he is looking at the polls he's looking at the enthusiasm surrounding Harris uh and her campaign and clearly you know he's a little green a little envious he's trying to do something anything uh to blunt her momentum and what we've seen is him sort of flip-flopping on abortion.
And just yesterday with this sort of NBC interview IVF was one of the sort of pieces of news he made there but he also suggested that he was opposed to Florida's six week abortion ban which is going to be on the ballot this fall his campaign later sort of walked that back when the pro-life Community was up in arms over for his comment he also.
Mentioned as you just said this IVF proposal that Americans are going to get free IVF if they're having fertility uh struggles or that they were going to mandate insurance companies cover that this is not something you hear Republicans talking about ever Eva and just a couple weeks ago uh in fact Democrats said put a bill on the senate.
Floor that would have mandated insurance companies cover IVF guess what all but three Republicans ended up voting against it so he's sort of uh pulling out these ideas trying to win over voters but the truth is when it comes to abortion The Narrative is sort of already baked people see him as the person who overturned row and actually.
Bragged about it just a few weeks ago Jay we have to talk about this new ABC News ipsos poll on Election legitimacy break down what the numbers show us here yeah a 68% of those ped said they believed kamla Harris is prepared to accept the outcome of this election regardless of what it is on the flip side of that you.
See some of the numbers on your screen 67% just about the same number said that they don't believe Donald Trump is prepared to do the same thing to accept the outcome of a legitimate election and obviously that is concerning given the events of the last election in 20120 uh the other thing to keep in mind is the party breakdown here so this one is a.
Little bit of more of a silver lining 89% of Democrats said they personally are prepared to accept the outcome of this election only about 11% of Democrats said that they would not accept the outcome or not necessarily prepared to and for Republicans it was also a high number 78% of Republicans said they were personally prepared to.
Accept the outcome of this election but there was a higher number of Republicans than Democrats who said they were not prepared to accept the outcome 19% of Republicans said that they're not prepared right now to accept the outcome of this election interesting numbers to look at Jay O'Brien Rachel B thank you both for being with us and September.
10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time right here on ABC News again that is September 10th at 9:00 Eastern and you can watch it right here on ABC News live well it's time to buckle up for the holiday travel rush and if you're headed to the airport today leave early it's expected to be.
The busiest travel day of the Labor Day weekend TSA officials preparing to screen at least 2.8 million passengers today alone with Chicago DFW and Atlanta expected to be the busiest airport hubs airport officials in those cities warning that Stormy Weather could be a wild card but it's not just the skies the roads will be packed with traffic.
Too triaa warning Millions more Americans will take a road trip this holiday weekend our business reporter Alexis Christus is tracking it all she joins us now all right Alexis oh boy what do we need to know as we head into this record-breaking travel weekend it's been a record-breaking travel summer right we've had to pack.
Our patients because they have been cancellations there have been delays so far so good look Labor Day is not July 4th it's not Thanksgiving weekend so travel will be big but not as big as those weekends lots of folks are kids are back at school right but as you said and it's worth re saying some of these numbers 17 million plus expected to fly.
Through Wednesday that's up 8 and a half% from last year most of these trips are domestic by the way 2.8 million expected to fly today alone a big reason why airfares are actually down according to Hopper uh airfares are down 5% versus last Labor Day and actually down 177% versus 2019 that's pre pandemic oh wow those are good numbers to hear let's.
Talk about gas prices how is that going to factor into all of this you know not as much as you might think but it's certainly helpful I don't think it's a make or break decision for folks who we're going to take to the road anyway but the good news here is if you are taking to the road for Labor Day weekend it's going to cost you less to um to.
Fill up your tank gas now at 335 a gallon uh that's about 50 cents below where it was last year um so so that's some good news for drivers and again record number of people expected to take to the road this this long weekend I feel like people are just traveling more in general they are what does that tell us because you know we also talk a lot.
About how inflation and everything costs more right is there a confidence that people have that they're willing to spend their money I think it's people are picking and choosing where they're spending their money and it's still on experiences versus things uh so we may have less money I think a lot of us are getting used to unfortunately sticky.
Inflation higher prices but we're still believing there's value in travel there's value in spending time with the family and I think those cheaper air fares and the lower gas are helping people make that decision too we're going to see all those people out there this weekend Oh me included I'm hitting the road in a little while.
Same good Lu to us yes pray for us thank you and that extreme weather is threatening to disrupt travel for millions of Americans This Labor Day weekend severe storms slam the Midwest overnight bringing strong winds hail and even tornadoes at least four reported Twisters touchdown in Wisconsin and Minnesota tennis ball-sized hail also.
Slam parts of Virginia yesterday so heavy that it actually covered the ground there ABC News Meteorologist Melissa Griffin is tracking the forecast for us Melissa how is our Labor Day weekend looking well Eva it's looking good in a lot of spots but we got to get through these storms first if you're traveling today or tomorrow now the good.
Thing about the storms it's going to break this heat finally but we have one more day to deal with this feeling like the triple digits across the board from Ohio all the way to the Deep South we still have a heat advisory from St Louis to Charleston where it feels like over 99 de there but here's the storms and we have two pockets I'm watching for.
Potential travel issues due to these storms Detroit here if you're flying out of Detroit airport or traveling there this is the area we could see severe weather damaging winds large hail isolated tornadoes not out of the question and that threat stretches back to St Louis now here on the East Coast another area Rowan Oak Charlotte to.
Raleigh if you're going up 95 across I40 later this evening watch for storms there as well this entire system will then push into the Northeast overnight tonight throughout the day tomorrow so starting off the holiday weekend if you have outdoor plans in the Northeast Harrisburg Scranton PA just west of New York City but does include Philly.
Baltimore and DC later tomorrow that's where we could see those damaging winds hail flash flooding and then we'll finally see it all wrap up we do have flash flood warnings though in effect for New Orleans so if you're in the Deep South today watch out for that heavy rain as well Eva good information for all of this as we head into the weekend.
Melissa Griffin thank you so much well now to a tragedy from the World of Sports Johnny Gad one of the greatest American hockey players of all time is dead after getting hit by an alleged drunk driver in Southern New Jersey last night Morgan Norwood joins me now here in studio and Morgan what are we learning about all of this well even as.
You mentioned it's just a horrific incident that's really sending shock waves throughout the hockey Community from fans his former Amma Mater in fact Boston College they are AB absolutely devastated that held a short press conference just a short time ago and you can really sense the grief so this is really hitting home for so many I want.
To talk about what we know so far Eva uh Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny GD killed as he was biking with his younger brother Matthew in their hometown of Salem County New Jersey um here's what's so heartbreaking about this Eva the brothers were actually in town for their sister's wedding and they were both grommen now police say a driver that has.
Been identified as Sean Higgins plowed his Jeep into the two while he was trying to pass another car and then took off from the scene now authorities do believe that driver was drunk and under the influence even allegedly telling cops at the scene that he had five to six beers Higgins now is charged with two counts of death by Otto um but as.
You can imagine this is just unfathomable he was a celebrated forward uh and we also know that the team the Columbus Blue Jackets releasing this statement you see it there saying in part Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice and again as I mentioned before we're hearing from Boston College.
Where he was a standout player uh he led the Eagles to a national title then went on to receive an award for the nation's best Collegiate player um BC saying that Gad was not only the greatest player one of the greatest players but also one of the nicest but Eva as you can imagine again very much still under investigation but so stunning uh to.
Everyone who knew him yeah and just imagine what his family is going through right now Morgan thank you so much coming up one of the doctor charge was supplying Matthew Perry with ketamine leading to his overdose death is in court today we will have the latest from Los Angeles the westn virus death toll is.
Mounting and causing many to be hospitalized we'll tell you what to watch for when we come back what does it take to be the most watched newscast in America an operation to capture Isis Fighters is this our combat Operation Center we're.
Approaching the gate now militants came in from four or five different directions operational nuclear reactor so you have a couple loaded and ready to go the house is destroy but the flag there's not a tear in it not a tear in it how important is this label right here made the USA look at your smile.
You're proud of this I love this great work hi where are you where are you appreciate you thank you David thanks for me you is David David yes yes I'm David M I know who you are watch you every night ABC's World News Tonight with David mure is America's most watched.
Newscast if you were coming of age in the 1980s the brat pack was near the center of your cultural awareness but for those of us experiencing it from the inside the brat pack was something very different if you could have the brat pack name not exist would you I hated the brat pack what a.
Disaster why did we take it as an offense Andrew I'm not going to say we were the Beatles or anything we didn't F sha Stadium 1985 I think we could have why do so many people start their day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day's top stories a lot of news today so let's get into.
Listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four Edward R ml Awards and see why the New York Times calls it a news podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that's a part of the story I bet you didn't see coming wherever you get your podcasts start.
Here welcome back to ABC News live new developments today in the investigate Perry's death one of the doctors charged with supplying the actor with the ketamine that led to his overdose is in court today Mark sha Chavez reached a plea agreement with prosecutors earlier this month and he may officially enter that guilty plea later today ABC's Alex.
Stone joins me now for more and Alex what do we expect is going to happen in court today well hey there Eva it does not look like he's going to be entering that plea today we know that he is entering a guilty plea has come to an agreement with prosecutors to help them out he allegedly was not the one supplying the ketamine directly to.
Matthew Perry but instead Dr Chavez was allegedly one supplying it to Dr Salvador Placencia who then was selling it to Matthew Perry's assistant and giving it directly allegedly to then Matthew Perry but we know that there is an agreement to plead guilty this will be his first court appearance today in this case it may be very quick it may.
Just be a couple of minutes to say judge I'm here hear the counts against him then set a date for a guilty plea down the road but that is a deal that he's made to help out and to say you know what I will admit to these counts to uh supplying the the drugs to Dr Placencia to make that system work so they could eventually get to Matthew Perry in.
Return getting likely a lesser sentence out of it you you were talking about that plead on the possible lesser sentence uh what are they hoping to get out of him in that deal well really the focus of this investigation is on two people it is on the woman known as the ketamine Queen jasine Sangha and on Dr Placencia they.
Are the two who are not yet pleading guilty everybody else is pleading guilty in this case and they are the ones that the prosecutors are really focused in on the ones who allegedly were supplying the ketamine and in the case of Sangha the deadly dose of ketamine that they want to go after and and Dr placenia seen here could be looking at 120 years.
In prison if he's convicted she could be looking at decades in bars behind bars as well but for Dr Chavez a San Diego physician still has his medical license cannot write prescriptions a DEA has taken that away from him but still has his California medical license at most 10 years in prison likely as part of a plea deal a lot less but but up to a.
Decade in prison up to a decade in prison and and I know there are other people involved in this case other than just the three that you've mentioned so far how do you see this playing out with those people as well yeah all of them either are pleading guilty of this point except for the two Dr Placencia and Sangha the who's called the camine queen.
Of Los Angeles the others are all helping including Matthew Perry's assistant who he is the one in a lot of these documents and and there are many of them in these indictments and plea deals where really it was allegedly the assistant reaching out to uh the doctors and to Sangha saying we need more ketamine that the client he called.
Himself uh Batman's assistant Batman's butler is what he called him Batman was the name that Matthew Perry went by and that he was reaching out to them saying he needs more and they need more of it right now well he is now according to prosecutors working with them as well he has worked with the LAPD with the DEA saying here's how it all went down and.
Again they're really going after Dr Placencia and and Sangha to say they were the suppliers of these drugs allegedly and they are the ones looking at the most time in prison Alex Stone thank you so much for your reporting there turning now Health officials are reporting at least 18 West Nile Virus deaths including two in Wisconsin and.
One in Illinois as more cases of the mosquito born illness are popping up across the us right now at least 33 states are reporting West Nile activity with CDC data showing the most cases currently in Texas anywhere from 1 to 200 deaths from West Nile are typically reported globally each year but now many regions across the country are taking.
Major precautions in Missouri an 18-year-old boy is fighting for his life on a ventilator after Contracting the virus his parents say it started with headaches and dizziness then spirals into vomiting disorientation and a high fever let's bring in Dr Peter jorz co-director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for vaccine development.
And Dean of the national school of tropical medicine at Baylor College of medicine um doctor I guess let's start with what are the most effective ways to prevent mosquito bites and ultimately just kind of reduce our risk of getting the West Nile Virus in the first place yeah and it is accelerating and this is the peak time of year so especially you.
Know these are uh trans this virus is transmitted by the clex mosquito which is often most active in the in the pre-dawn early morning hours and then in the evening so for example in where I am in Texas where we have the largest number of West Nile Virus cases I try to get my 10,000 steps in and I do walking early in the morning and in the evening.
And and what I do is I have a full hooded sweatshirt on and sweatpants and and socks and sneakers and a hat and then on the exposed areas I put on uh insect repelling containing DEET on both the dorsal and Palmer surface of my hands and around my neck and and you know sometimes my neighbors uh look at me you know wearing shorts and t-shirts.
And but I use it as a teachable moment I explain look the reason you have to do it now is because this is when we are seeing a lot of West Nile cases and I am hearing about uh individuals going into intensive care units with West Nile Virus and sephtis as you describe so I you know it's it's not fun to walk around like that at this time of the.
Year when it's so hot but I I think it's really important to do that let's talk about that other thing you just mentioned there the Eastern equinus seal litis Triple E another rare but potentially lethal mosquito born virus uh what do we need to know about the differences in risk and the symptoms between these.
Two well the difference is west Nile you know we typically will get hundreds or even thousands of cases every year um one of our worst years was in 2012 in Texas Eastern andite sephtis is another very serious virus infection with a much higher percentage of cases resulting in EN sephtis the good news is that it's a much more it's a much rarer disease we.
Typically will only see you know a handful of cases a year but we are seeing um several uh serious cases uh in in Massachusetts in New Hampshire in New England I believe in New Jersey maybe one in Wisconsin and we have seen cases in Florida so it's one of those that also starts occurring this time of year but but much less common but again this.
It's the same type of mosquito prevention measures that you want to think about that we would use for West Nile Dr Peter Hotes thank you so much for making time for us thank you well coming up what we're learning about a deadly shootout involving police officers in Dallas stay with.

Debate right now on ABC News live state of the race Donald Donald Trump hits the campaign Trail in Pennsylvania as KLA Harris announces the launch of a Battleground State bus tour what a new ABC News poll says about both candidates and whether they're prepared to accept the outcome of the election tragic accident Hockey Star Johnny gdo and his.
Brother Matthew hit and killed by an alleged drunk driver while riding their bikes the investigation now underway and what we're learning about the driver who was arrested and holiday travel Rush TSA in the thick of their busiest day of the weekend the best in worst times to head out and the severe storms that could impact your holiday travel plans hi.
Everyone I'm Eva Pilgrim our top story this hour hitting the Battleground States former president Donald Trump getting set for a rally in Pennsylvania Trump continuing a swing through the Rust Belt as he tries to win over voters in those key Battleground States one supporter at the rally telling ABC News she wants to hear him focus on.
Policy you know I'm looking forward to him contract Cas in himself with uh Cala Harris our current vice president um because it's dramatically different and uh she keeps copying his policies so um I'm sure he'll be colorful about that but I really want him to talk about the contrast on the other side of the aisle vice president kamla Harris finally.
Sitting down for her first interview since becoming the Democratic nominee joining me now we have Terry Moran traveling with the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania White House correspondent Mary Alis parks and contributing political correspondent Rachel bade Terry let's start with you Trump is really focusing.
On the three so-called blue firewall States this week he won all three in 2016 then lost to all three in 2020 what's his plan to win those voters back well he's going to come here a lot that's for sure but really it is those issues that voters are talking about you talk to people here economy immigration most econom we hear it over and over and.
Over and polls consistently show that Trump is favored on those issues not just by the people come to his rally but by you know voters across the country and so he does have an advantage if and this is sometimes a big if with Donald Trump he can stick to the script I mean look this is a show right a trump rally is an event in a community there there's.
Music there's merchandise and there's Trump the star performer who sometimes usually wanders far from the script people here do want to hear about those practical policy issues especially the economy if he does that he's got a good for that matter Mary Alis Harris just announced what she's calling a reproductive Freedom bus tour it's.
Coming after a bit of a shift from Trump on the issue of reproductive care this is clearly a big issue for voters so what is the strategy here for both of them yeah it's been a big issue for voters also Central to the Harris campaign Central to Democrats running across the country uh ever since the fall of roie way they are pushing for a.
National law to restore access to abortion care across the country and we're seeing the Harris team really double down with this new bus tour like you said interesting that they're launching that bus tour in Florida they pitched it as specifically launching it in Trump's own backyard of course there's a ballot initiative that'll be.
On the ballot in November in Florida that would overturn uh the really restrictive uh six week abortion ban that was put in place there after the fall of row the ballot initiative would restore abortion access up to um to viability it was interesting that yesterday when Trump was asked specifically about this he said that he.
Thought 6 weeks was uh not enough time suggesting that he was going to vote in favor of uh overturning that conservative law in the state he also said that he he has a new campaign proposal he wants to uh pay for IVF treatments around the country of course it was conservative judges in the state of Alabama that actually um made it.
Unconstitutional in that state briefly to for for clinics to go ahead with IVF treatments Harris's team out there with uh surrogates today saying that female voters are not stupid they know who put fertility treatments abortion access sort of on the chopping block it will be really interesting obviously this will continue to be a central part of this.
Campaign ahead of November Eva and Rachel we have to talk about that interview Harrison W sat down last night with CNN I'm curious what's your biggest takeaway from that yeah Eva it seemed like her team had one intention in mind when they went into that sit down and that is to run to the center obviously Harris team are they're very cleare eyed.
About her her greatest vulnerability and that is the position she took in 2020 when she was running for president Back Then basically moving to the left supporting things like Medicare for all getting rid of private insurance uh Banning fracking decriminalizing uh border crossings from migrants coming to the United States uh.
You know without permission and without visas and such um but look she was asked about all of those positions during this interview and she made clear that she doesn't support them anymore she said on on fracking that she has been clear you know from uh her previous position that she does not support getting rid of uh fracking that there's a way to sort of.
Address climate change by um basically supporting clean energy initiatives when it comes to people crossing into the United States she said that these things should have consequences and that folks need to follow the law she made clear uh where she stood on that and said she would sign the bipartisan uh border Crackdown bill that Donald Trump himself.
Actually killed if she's president she would sign that to law and look when she was asked about how historic it would be to see the first woman um and first black woman as president she said she basically ran away from that question she said look I'm running to be uh a leader for all Americans and that's been something that's really interesting as.
Well to watch because while it might speak to a certain sector of the democratic party a lot of Swing voters they don't really care about historic first they want to see what you're going to do what is a candidate going to do uh for them and so I think that that was their intention in this interview and they clearly executed it Eva Terry.
Trump's also set to give an address before moms for Liberty that's the group that spearhead a lot of those book bands all across the country that's supposed to happen in Washington DC tonight how do you think this will be received well that that is not a popular position among most voters Banning books from school libraries what is a popular.
Position that that group which has also been touched with scandal in its leadership so it has some controversy there but that group business associated with something that is popular uh which is parents frankly having uh more input on uh the teaching of some of those issues in particular issues around sexuality and gender and certainly uh if.
Their own children are involved in some kind of questioning of their gender parents want to know about that that is a whole show pretty mainstream position he'll hit hard on that but you're right this is him definitely going to his face with this group moms for Liberty Terry Moran Mary Alis parks and Rachel bade thank you so much for joining us and.
September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time right here on ABC News again that is September 10th at 9: Eastern and you can watch it here on ABC News live well it's time to buckle up for the holiday travel rush today we are expecting the busiest day of the Labor Day weekend specifically for those.
Taking to the skies TSA officials preparing to screen at least 2.8 million passengers today alone with Chicago Dallas Fort Worth and Atlanta expected to be the busiest airport hubs airport officials in those cities warning that Stormy Weather could be a wild card but it's not just the skies the roads will be packed with traffic as well AAA.
Warning Millions more Americans will take a road trip this holiday weekend ABC News Transportation reporter Sam Sweeney is tracking all of it for us Sam we got to start with the skies how is TSA preparing to handle all of these passengers well TSA says they are fully staffed they're expecting about 17 million people to travel for the Labor.
Day holiday that will be the busiest Labor Day travel period in the agency's 22-year history uh but this has been a busy summer we've seen record travel almost 3 million people traveling on the busiest day so they say they are prepared and things are looking pretty good right now across the country there slightly more than 200 flight.
Cancellations and when you look at the big picture you can see all those planes on your screen that are in the air right now there are more than 40,000 departures so things are pretty smooth so far I'm curious how these airlines are managing operations has there been any staffing or delays that have caused any issues at this point no all things.
Are good right now the airlines have added flights they've extended their flight schedules uh later into the night and starting earlier in the morning so they can accommodate more people but so far they say things are going smoothly uh and again very few cancellations across the country all right let's talk about the roads millions are preparing.
To take a road trip so when is the best time to leave best time to leave is early in the morning or late at night after after the rush hour commute it's going to be a little quieter on Saturday and Sunday but if you're coming back on Monday you want to leave before 10:00 a.m. to beat those afternoon rush hours good tips there for us Sam Sweeney thank.

Unsettled with a lot of showers but look at the rest of the country it's warming up nicely in the west coast pretty dry for much of the country aside from the Gulf Coast and here in the Midwest and the Northeast it will be cooler below normal temperatures it's going to actually feel like Fall by next week after Labor Day Eva oh goodness gracious.
Melissa Griffin thank you so much well one of the greatest American hockey players of all time has died Columbus Blue Jacket star Johnny gud was killed last night when an alleged drunk driver hit him and his brother while they were riding bikes in Southern New Jersey Mike McCarthy from our ABC station in Columbus has.
More Eva here at Nationwide Arena at the home of the Columbus Blue Jackets there is a sense of shock right now this is where fans have been coming to remember Johnny gdo Johnny hockey as he was known for his amazing skills on the ice and yes he is being remembered for that but he's also being remembered as an inspirational figure and a father he was.
Not the biggest player on the team only about 5' n but a wreck League player told us he is about the same size and saw in grro you didn't have to be the biggest player to have a big impact we also talked to the coach of a youth team here in Columbus who says more kids on his team wear the number 13 than any other another he anticipates some tough.
Practices in the weeks ahead as fans struggle to understand how something like this could happen Eva all right thank you so much ESPN national hockey writer Emily Kaplan joins us now with a closer look at G's career and Legacy uh this is such a huge loss for the hockey world what are you hearing from people right.
Now Eva it's unimaginable uh to talk about this death and hockey is a small community Johnny Gad to so many was a brother a friend a teammate everyone I've reached out to in the hockey world today is shaken uh he was known as a guy that would always come to the rink with a smile on his face but even as he developed into one of the Best Wingers.
In the entire world he was known for his authenticity in college his nickname was Johnny ham and cheese because he ate a ham and cheese sandwich seven days a week when the guys went out to Sushi he brought a ham and cheese sandwich there cuz he didn't like sushi very much and above all else he was known as a family man you know he was killed along onside.
His brother Maddie uh they signed with Boston College as a package deal they were always together they were in South Dy at the time because they were groomsmen in their sister's wedding which supposed to be held this weekend um and his parents were always driving to his games to support him so he was known as somebody who was so close and.
Cared so much about those around him but specifically his family yeah he was such a legendary figure before he even went pro what do you think it was about him that Drew people and that excitement towards him uh the fact that he was like five foot six when he was drafted drafted in the fourth round in the NHL there's no.
Guarantee that when you get drafted you'll even make the league in the fourth round um it's incredible to car out the career that he had and he had to work for everything that he had um you know at Boston College he won a national title when he was a freshman and then went on to win the Hobie Baker award as the best player in the country um but.
Then once he got to the NHL I I think the rest of the hockey world saw what a special talent he was because he was so small and also skinny there were smaller players before him but what he was able to do the elusivity the creativity um to make plays seemingly out of nothing inspired so many other players around this league um and and just made him an.
Incredible figure and one of the awards that he did win in the NHL was the lady Bing award that's typically given to the player that has the best on Ice production um but also takes the less penalties it's for gentlemanly play so I know that will be part of his life Legacy as well how will you remember him again I think as someone who just.
Cared about his family you know he became a free agent in 2022 Eva he was the biggest free agent in the entire league he had played nine years in Calgary and Calgary wanted to resign him and he wanted to resign there too but because he was from South Jersey it was really hard for him uh to be so far away from his family and his wife marus.
Family she was a nurse she couldn't work in Canada his father had a heart attack in 2018 that was a very so in moment for him the fact that he wasn't able to be there with him as much as he wanted to and realized he wasn't with his family as much as he wanted to so he shocked Everybody by signing in Columbus and it was this massive deal and I remember.
Having a conversation with Johnny it was the November of his first season in Columbus and it wasn't going well for either him or the team uh they weren't performing well neither was he and he said no everyone thought I was out here to chase the money and that couldn't be further from the truth he told me I love it here my wife Meredith loves it here.
Here our families love it here we love that we can see our families so much and I wouldn't trade that decision for the world and I'll just always remember that conviction that he had and again that connection he had to those closest to him as who he really was as a person Emily Kaplan thank you so much for telling that to us and sharing that with.

Jawdropping the most powerful stories of our time Nightline on right after Kimel and streaming on Hulu why do so many people start their day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day's top stories a lot of news today so let's get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four.
Edward R murl Awards and see why the New York York Times calls it a news podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that's a part of the story I bet you didn't see coming wherever you get your podcasts start here welcome back to ABC News live new.
Developments today and the investigation of Matthew Perry's death one of the doctors charged with supplying the actor with ketamine that led to his overdose is said to appear in in court today Mark Chavez reached a plea agreement with prosecutors earlier this month and if he officially enters that guilty plea he will become the third person to do so in.
This case ABC's Alex Stone joins me now with more you're there at the courthouse Al he was supposed to enter a plea today but we're now hearing that may not be the case what's the latest here that may not be but Eva right now he is walking into the courthouse as I speak this this crowd of cameramen who are running around they are trying to.
Get around Dr Chavez as he is walking in for this court appearance what this is going to be today is probably a very short court hearing only really showing up to say that he understands accounts against him allegedly supplying camine to another doctor Dr Salvador Placencia Dr Salvador Placencia then allegedly gave it to Matthew Perry that he was.
According to prosecutors The Source getting it from his ketamine clinic but knowing that it was going to Matthew Perry a known addict today he could enter his guilty plea we know he has agreed to a guilty plea and will work with prosecutors if that will come today we don't know they may just set a date for.
Later on but he'll be in court in a little less than an hour yeah so this plea deal requires that he cooperates with prosecutors in this investigation so I'm curious who else are they targeting here they're targeting a lot of different defendants said there are five in total and three have now made deals.
To work with prosecutors including the assistant for Matthew Perry and then a really a street level more like a drug dealer but a middleman who was allegedly involved in all of this and they're making deals to get less time in prison for Dr Chavez he could be looking at 10 years in federal prison maybe less for making that deal and working with.
Prosecutors but the two they're really focusing on is that other doctor Dr Placencia who allegedly orchestrated all of this of getting him the kety he could be looking at 120 years in prison he at this point is not pleading guilty and they are moving forward he's pleading not guilty and then the other being jazine Sangha known as a ketamine queen.
Of Los Angeles she is the one who allegedly supplied the Fatal dose of ketamine and prosecutors say she was running a Drug Emporium out of her apartment Matthew Perry allegedly went to her when the doctors got too expensive but both Dr Placencia and Sangha are accused of being the suppers of that ketamine and Alex you mentioned.
This Dr Chavez if he enters this guilty B he faces up to 10 years in prison how do you see this playing out what happens next in these other cases well we know Dr Placencia the other doctor and jazine singha they are due in court they have a hearing really just a status checkin next week the the prosecution would like to put both of.
Their cases together into one for one trial technically right now their trial is set for October but if they do combine them it'll probably be sometime next year these others are going to have uh hearings here and there but really it comes down to sentencing we don't know all of the sentencing dates yet they haven't been set or at least publicly uh.
Released what those dates are going to be but they'll learn their their sentences Alex Stone right outside the courthouse there thank you so much well health officials reporting at least 18 West Nile Virus deaths including two in Wisconsin and one in Illinois as more cases of the mosquito born illness are popping up across the US right now at.
Least 33 states are reporting West Nile activity anywhere from 1 to 200 deaths from West Nile are typically reported globally each year but now many regions across the country are taking major precautions in Missouri an 18-year-old boy is fighting for his life on a ventilator after Contracting the virus his parents say it started with.
Headaches and dizziness then spiraled into vomiting disorientation and a high fever let's bring in ABC news's Ariel RF and you've been covering this aiel uh what's the latest on the numbers as far as these cases go yeah of course officials are extremely concerned here Eva we're seeing about 290 cases in more than 30 states which is what you.
Mentioned and it's not really specific to geography here when we look at the map these cases are spread in much of the country take a look here we can show it to you um experts caution that the data is lagging here and we may not really have a full picture quite yet but we know that we just confirmed moments ago that there were two deaths in New.
Jersey from West Nile Virus we confirmed yesterday two deaths in Wisconsin so officials are keeping a very close eye on that and of course they're also very concerned about this more rare and potentially more lethal uh virus called Triple E which is mosquito born as well cases are now in about half a dozen states mostly concentrated up here in.
The Northeast a couple popping up in Wisconsin um we know that one person has died from that virus uh a man in his 40s said to have been in good health so officials keeping a very close watch on both of these viruses at once Yeah you mentioned triple West now virus How concerned should we be because this is the holiday week and.
People are going to be outside yeah of course people should be very concerned about this and and right now uh we just learned a couple of days ago that there was there's a young man in Missouri who um is in his teens he's 18 years old he was a healthy recent high school graduate and all of a sudden his parents said that he was complaining of a very.
High fever um a dizziness and and really felt disoriented and then his symptoms spiraled pretty quickly out of control and we spoke to his father who uh tells us that he was in and out of the ER and then all of a sudden he found his uh son on a ventilator and unable to move and we spoke to his father last night want to listen to him it's difficult um my.
Son was a healthy athletic individual very outgoing and charismatic and to see him lethargic and struggle to do simple basic functions it's it's hard the doctors describe this is a marathon to beat this virus since there's no actual cure for it you got to just yeah important to note there that.
There is no cure or vaccine to prevent West Nile or Triple E and so severe cases and deaths are extremely rare according to authorities but they can happen about 1 in 150 West Nile cases are very severe and about 30% of those who contract Triple E may have brain swelling that leads to death so this is something to keep an eye on but it's.
Important context here to remember that each summer and fall we see a rise in these types of mosquito born illnesses um so this year is really no different in that sense but when we talk about climate change experts are saying we're seeing more rainfall we're seeing warmer temperatures and that is leading to a bigger mosquito population and a longer.
Season so people really do need to take precautions but again we're not at any worse a point this year than we were last year but you got to stay safe this holiday yeah and there are things you can do spray the de make sure there's no standing water all of those important things exctly and stay inside for your birthday tonight.

We're learning about the driver who was arrested and holiday travel Rush TSA in the thick of their busiest day of the weekend the best and worst times to head out and the severe storms that could impact your holiday travel plans hi everyone I'm Eva Pilgrim our top story this hour hitting the Battleground States former president Donald Trump.
Getting set for a rally in Pennsylvania Trump continuing a swing through the Rust Belt as he tries to win over voters in those key Battleground States one supporter at the rally telling ABC News she wants to hear him focus on policy you know I looking forward to him contrasting himself with uh Kamala Parris our current vice president um.
Because it's dramatically different and uh she keeps copying his policies so um I'm sure he'll be colorful about that but I really want him to talk about the contrast on the other side of the aisle vice president kamla Harris finally sitting down for her first interview since becoming the Democratic nominee joining me now we have Terry Moran.
Traveling with the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania White House correspondent Mary Alice parks and contributing political correspondent Rachel bade Terry let's start with you Trump is really focusing on the three so-called blue firewalls States this week he won all three in 2016 then lost all three in 2020 what's his plan to win those voters.
Back well he's going to come here a lot that's for sure but really it is those issues that voters are talking about you talk to people here economy immigration mostly economy we hear it over and over and over and polls consistently showed that Trump is favored on those issues not just by the people come to his rally but by you know voters across the.
Country and so he does have an advantage if and this is sometimes a big if with Donald Trump he can stick to the script I mean look this is a show right a trump rally is an event in a community there's there's music there's merchandise and there's Trump the star performer who sometimes usually wanders far from the script people here do want to hear about.
Those practical policy issues especially the economy if he does that he's got a good shot here Mar Alis Harris just to announce what she's calling a reproductive Freedom bus tour it's coming after a bit of a shift from Trump on the issue of reproductive care this is clearly a big issue for voters so what is the strategy.
Here for both of them yeah it's been a big issue for voters also Central to the Harris campaign Central to Democrats running across the country uh ever since the fall of roie way they are pushing for a national law to restore access to abortion care across the country and we're seeing the Harris team really double down with this new bus tour like.
You said interesting that they're launching that bus tour in Florida they pitched it as specifically launching it in Trump's own backyard of course there's a ballot initiative that'll be on the ballot in November in Florida that would overturn uh the really restrictive uh six week abortion ban that was put in place there after the.
Fall of row the ballot initiative would restore abortion access up to um up to viability it was interesting that yesterday when Trump was asked specifically about this he said that he thought 6 weeks was a not enough time suggesting that he was going to vote in favor of uh overturning that conservative law in the state he also.
Said that he he has a new campaign proposal he wants to uh pay for IVF treatments around the country of course it was conservative judges in the state of Alabama that actually um made it unconstitutional in that state briefly to for for clinics to go ahead with IVF treatments Harris's team out there with uh surrogates today saying that female.
Voters are not stupid they know who put fertility treatments abortion access sort of on The Chopping Block it'll be really interesting obviously this will continue to be a central part of this campaign ahead of November Eva and Rachel we have to talk about that interview Harrison wall sat down last night with CNN I'm curious what's your.
Biggest takeaway from that yeah Eva it seemed like her team had one intention in mind when they went into that sit down and that is to run to the center obviously Harris's team are they're very cleare eyed about her her greatest vulnerability and that is the position she took in 2020 when she was running for president Back Then basically moving.
To the left supporting things like Medicare for all getting rid of private insurance uh Banning fracking decriminalizing uh border crossings from migrants coming to the United States uh you know without permission and without visas and such um but look she was asked about all of those positions during this interview and she made clear that she.
Doesn't support them anymore she said on on fracking that she has been clear you know from uh her previous position that she does not support getting rid of uh fracking that there's a way to sort of address climate change by um basically supporting clean energy initiatives when it comes to people crossing into the United States she said that these things.
Should have consequences and that folks need to follow the law she made clear uh where she stood on that and said she would sign the bipartisan uh border Crackdown bill that Donald Trump himself actually killed if she's president she would sign that into law and look when she was asked about how historic it would be to see the first woman um and.
First a black woman as president she said she basically ran away from that question she said look I'm running to be uh a leader for all Americans and that's been something that's really interesting as well to watch because while it might speak to a certain sector of the democratic party a lot of Swing voters they don't really care about historic.
First they want to see what you're going to do what is a candidate going to do uh for them and so I think that that was their intention in this interview and they clearly executed it Eva Terry Trump's also set to give an address before moms for Liberty that's the group that spearhead a lot of those book bands all across the country that's supposed.
To happen in Washington DC tonight how do you think this will be received well that that is not a popular position among most voters Banning books from school libraries what is a popular position that that group which has also been touched with scandal in its leadership so it has some controversy there but that group is associated with.
Something that is popular uh which is parents frankly having uh more input on uh the teaching of some of those issues in particular issues around sexuality and gender and certainly uh if their own children are involved in some kind of questioning of their gender parents want to know about that that is a whole show pretty.
Mainstream position he'll hit hard on that you're right this is him definitely going to his face with this group moms for Liberty Terry Moran Mary Alis parks and Rachel B thank you so much for joining us and September 10th vice president Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time right here on ABC News again that.

Dallas Fort Worth and Atlanta expected to be the busiest airport hubs airport officials in those cities warning that Stormy Weather could be a wild card but it's not just the skies the roads will be packed with traffic as well AAA warning Millions more Americans will take take a road trip this holiday weekend ABC News Transportation reporter.

Busy summer we've seen record travel almost 3 million people traveling on the busiest day so they say they are prepared and things are looking pretty good right now across the country there slightly more than 200 flight cancellations and when you look at the big picture you can see all those planes on your screen that are in the air right.
Now there are more than 40,000 departures so things are pretty smooth so far I'm curious how these airlines are managing operations has there been any staffing or delays that have caused any issues at this point no all things are good right now the airlines have added flights they've extended their flight schedules uh later into the night.
And starting earlier in the morning so they can accommodate more people but so far they say things are going smoothly uh and again very few cancellations across the country all right let's talk about the roads millions are preparing to take a road trip so when is the best time to leave best time to leave is early in the morning or late at night.

Prosecutors The Source getting it from his ketamine clinic but knowing that it was going to Matthew Perry a known addict today he could enter his guilty plea we know is agreed to a guilty plea and will work with prosecutors if that will come today we don't know they may just set a date for later on but he'll be in court in a little less than an.
Hour so this plea deal requires that he cooperates with prosecutors in this investigation so I'm curious who else are they targeting here they're targeting a lot of different defendants said there are five in total and three have now made deals to work with prosecutors including the assistant for Matthew Perry and then a.
Really a street level more like a drug dealer but a middleman who was allegedly involved in all of this and they're making deals to get less time in prison for Dr Chavez he could be looking at 10 years in federal prison maybe less for making that deal and working with prosecutors but the two they're really focusing on is that other doctor Dr.
Placencia who allegedly orchestrated all of this of getting him the ketamine he could be looking at 120 years in prison he at this point is not pleading guilty and they are moving forward for he's pleading not guilty and then the other being jazine Sangha known as a ketamine queen of Los Angeles she is the one who allegedly supplied the Fatal dose of.
Ketamine and prosecutors say she was running a Drug Emporium out of her apartment Matthew Perry allegedly went to her when the doctors got too expensive but both Dr Placencia and Sangha are accused of being the suppliers of that ketamine and Alex you mentioned this Dr Chavez if he enters this guilty ple he faces up to 10 years.
In prison how do you see this playing out what happens next in these other cases well we know Dr Placencia the other doctor and jasine Sangha they are due in court they have a hearing really just a status checkin next week the the prosecution would like to put both of their cases together into one for one trial technically right now their trial.
Is set for October but if they do combine them it'll probably be sometime next year these others are going to have uh hearings here and there but really it comes down to sentencing we don't know all of the sentencing dates yet they haven't been set or at least publicly uh released what those dates are going to be but they'll learn their their.
Sentences Alex Stone right outside the courthouse there thank you so much well health officials reporting at least 18 West Nile Virus deaths including two in Wisconsin and one in Illinois as more cases of the mosquito born illness are popping up across the us right now at least 33 states are reporting West Nile activity anywhere from 1 to 200 deaths.
From West are typically reported globally each year but now many regions across the country are taking major precautions in Missouri an 18-year-old boy is fighting for his life on a ventilator after Contracting the virus his parents say it started with headaches and dizziness then spiraled into vomiting disorientation and a high.
Fever let's bring in ABC News is Ariel RF and you've been covering this aiel uh what's the latest on the numbers as far as these cases go yeah of course officials are extremely concerned here Eva we're seeing about 29 cases in more than 30 states which is what you mentioned and it's not really specific to geography here when we look at the.
Map these cases are spread in much of the country take a look here we can show it to you um experts caution that the data is lagging here and we may not really have a full picture quite yet but we know that we just confirmed moments ago that there were two deaths in New Jersey from West Nile Virus we confirmed yesterday two deaths in Wisconsin so.
Officials are keeping a very close eye on that and of course they're also very concerned about this more rare and potentially more lethal a virus called Triple E which is mosquito born as well cases are now in about half a dozen states mostly concentrated up here in the Northeast a couple popping up in Wisconsin um we know that one person has.
Died from that virus uh a man in his 40s said to have been in good health so officials keeping a very close watch on both of these viruses at once Yeah you mentioned Triple E westn virus How concerned should we be because this is the holiday week and people are going to be outside yeah of course people should be very concerned about this and and.
Right now uh we just learned a couple of days ago that there was there's a young man in Missouri who um is in his teens he's 18 years old he was a healthy recent high school graduate and all of a sudden his parents said that he was complaining of a very high fever um a dizziness and and really felt disoriented and then his symptoms.
Spiraled pretty quickly out of control and we spoke to his father who uh tells us that he was in and out of the ER and then all of a sudden he found his uh son on a ventilator and unable to move and we spoke to his father last night want to listen to him it's difficult um my son was a healthy athletic individual very outgoing and charismatic and to see.
Him lethargic and struggle to do simple basic functions it's it's hard and the doctors describe this as a marathon to beat this virus since there's no actual cure for it you got to just yeah important to note there that there is no cure or vaccine to prevent West Nile or Triple E and so severe cases and.
Deaths are extremely rare according to authorities but they can happen about one in 150 West n cases are very severe and about 30% of those who contract Triple E may have brain swelling that leads to death so this is something to keep an eye on but it's important context here to remember that each summer and fall we see a rise in these.
Types of mosquito born illnesses um so this year is really no different in that sense but when we talk about climate change experts are saying we're seeing more rainfall we're seeing warmer temperatures and that is leading to a bigger mosquito population and a longer season so people really do need to take precautions but again we're not at any.
Worse a point this year than we were last year but you got to stay safe this holiday yeah and there are things you can do spray the de make sure there's no standing water all of those important things ex and stay inside for your birthday tonight us yes thanks Ariel Rashia good to see you good to see you coming up the break in the case of a.

To build a lasting Legacy ABC's Kira Phillips starts us off from rising young stars like shabzi and his billboard topping number one hit a bar song to grammy-winning Oldtown Road singing Sensations like little NSX the next generation is Paving the way for a new era in country music but.
The past to stardom for black artists has not always been adorned with gold and platinum plaques there was a lot of historical significance in my being the only uh black man on a major country label uh cuz Charlie Pride had been signed in 1965 and here it was 1992 and it's something that I had to do C Francis grew up with a love for folk.
And Country Music the C night but it was another person's heart that would jumpstart the then 44-year-old cardiologist's country career so you're practicing medicine for about 13 years as a cardiologist right yes but then something happens well I went into see a patient in the emergency room and a guy was almost dying I help.
Saved his life his brother happened to be in the music business that chance encounter producing Cleaves debut single in 1992 love life Landing him a record contract on a major label performances worldwide and major TV appearances music.
Is just as important as medicine but listeners and DJs were unready and unwilling to support him his career started to Flatline cleave returning to his practice just three years later I visited every radio station almost in America and there was not enough of them willing to spend my records it was the color of your skin it was a skin.
Color they that I think Charlie Pride told the world at least the industry that they were not racially bias as long as one guy had ascended to the top but when you look back we were excluded out of country music basically basically on a racial basis and not on music now nearly 30 years later country music fans of all kinds are giddy up on.
Their feet dancing and singing to the Grammy winning genre bending is it true you were singing Aras at the Macaroni Grill at one point yes Renaissance artist Ranna giddens now Jam On the Banjo famous for her fingerpicking Mastery and knowledge of country's most iconic and historically complicated.
Instrument the banjo you have the commercialization of this instrument happening from the end of the Civil War to the 1920s that's when you start seeing the segregation of the music so then when it came to Country here's here's your white folks in country but where do black artists fit in there was a whole host of anr people coming in and.
They're separating this music into what they call hillbilly and race records I.E black people music as time moves on and these categories sort of evolve hillbilly turns into country music and race records turn into R&B therefore black musicians had to let go of their Roots Music of their country they Ed this stuff as a tool to continue to.
Divide people nobody owns country music This American music is made of the universal struggle to find joy and adversity to me that's what country music is about and as black artists in country continue to find that Joy once again it need only listen to the banjo.
As a reminder of everywhere they've been and the unlimited possibilities that lie ahead it's got all of these Crossroads you know and all of this music from this time the 1850s has the seeds of what become all the genres that we call you know all of this music of all the different people who are are part of the American story you know and that to me.
Is so beautiful wow that is beautiful Bravo fascinating too and for a deeper look into the history of black artists and Country Music be sure to pick up from where I stand the black experience in country music the DVD box set is out now and don't go anywhere because Don Lewis has a special performance for us in just.

Conversation around black country music artists really increase with Beyonce putting out her album what do you see as the future of country music there's just so much like I said earlier that we can emulate from even the Beyonce side of for Country scenes uh the divers diversity that we have.
Faced on you know from being a brother inside of the country music has been the difference which has been hard between trying to break into the room sometimes but once you hear you it's love for everybody it's a love for good music and if you have a good ear he who has ears will hear me and that's all I got to continue to do is my thing but do you.

Debate you're watching America's number one streaming news ABC News live breaking news exclusives live reporting across the globe keep streaming with ABC News live one of my favorite sets to look at country music husband and wife deal the war and treaty singing stealing a kiss.
They've been buting their way into the hearts of fans for nearly a decade now with what they call the classic country music formula three chords and the truth yes our own Phil lip off caught up with them to talk about their rise and role in country music they describe their style as a musical gumbo bringing a touch of soul to a.
Bluegrass tune or a burst of playful pop to a new country classic but for the war in treaty this husband and wife's signature is the heart stopping blend of their voices harmonizing as one like that you didn't set out to be country artist so how did you wind up.
Where you are love for me is love and theirs is a true love story it all began when Michael was a soldier in Iraq struggling to deal with the horrors he' witnessed so uh one of the soldiers one of the commanders actually shared me there's a piano and took me to it because they read my father I love music so I um went down and taught myself to.
Play he decided to make music his career and one day after a concert he happened to meet a singer whom he'd spotted years earlier singing in Sister Act 2 back in the habit this was Smitten by Tanya Tanya's life is audible like everything is in a panoramic view for me I can see my past present and future all in front of me.
With her he said he saw his past future and his present he's trying to make me cry that's how he got me that's it that's it they married and started a band their unusual name he kept changing the name that's it we're not changing his name anymore we're going back and forth I was like this is not a war we have to make peace and have a treaty and.
Be fine with it and I'm still and he stops me it's like that's the name of the B that's the name of the band that's how he got that's how he got the name of the band now they're captivating the music world with their passionate performances like this one at last year's Country Music Award.
I think with any kind of music but especially country music people bring their backgrounds you know they bring whatever it is to that genre and we bring the gospel side of what we do we bring the soul of what we do if we want to what we call the church Squall in the middle of a country song we're going to do it you know all right now I'm.
Wondering where you think country music is headed and what role you play in it country music has many different roads to Tred I think the road that TI I play in it is love is teaching people that it's okay for instance Beyonce's Old Country album I think everyone had a lot to say they were not.
Nice things and then Beyonce herself put out a statement as to why she did what she did but I think people are missing the big picture and the big point the big point is because someone said she couldn't H this is the land of opportunity how dare we say what she can and can't do absolutely but on top of that this genre.
Of country music it's cleaning up its own narrative for many years it was not considered a genre that was friendly towards people that look like me and Tanya welcoming no not welcoming at all the world sees us as land of the free home of the brave well are we living up to it yeah because if we are then we understand that there's more stories to.
Tell is it happening at a pace that you're happy with or would you like to see it happen faster I think it's happening slower than we would want to see it happen but it takes time starting to see more people that look like us at our shows I don't know if it's it's a fast thing or a slow thing I feel that it's a permanent thing I feel that that.
It's happening and it's here to stay talk about a love story yeah their story is so incredible and their voices are incredible and you can catch war and treaty on tour through January 2025 all right so to come on GMA 3 digging deep into The Good the Bad and the Ugly of the country music scene now black musicians confronted challenges head on.

Music traditionally seen as a genre dominated by white artists the contributions of people people of color and specifically black artists to country music have often been ignored from TR lases like Charlie Pride to Darius worker and Beyonce we've seen the music evolve and against some of the barriers around race that the artists.
Have faced remain and here to discuss the past the present and the future of black artist in country is historian Amanda Martinez from nilson media wrs Charlene poite Corley and ABC News contributor and Sirus xxm radio host our friend Mike Muse let's give them all the round of applause good see you guys in such an.
Important topic and one that I feel like we talk about like you know now on a more daily basis so we'll start with you so blacks have been recording writing and Performing country music since the 1920s why are they still fighting for their respect today and and and why have they been overlooked I think we need to go further back to the 1920s uh but the.
Primi question is absolutely correct that black country music artists have to feel other in a genre that they are responsible for creating and you have to go back to the 17th century when the slaves Africans came over here from the um from the West continent of Africa to the Caribbean and to the American South they brought their circular style of.
Instrument which we commonly now known as the banjo and they also too were creating rhythms of field music while they were working on the plantations that leads us to the menstrual show which was black exploitations that the whites did to be performative were they dressed up in Black pain and black face uh but what they did was they brought.
The Bano along to mimic the enslaved Africans and to mimic the field music once the Minal SS became popularized the banjo then became popularized and then you began to see the form of genre called hillbilly music which is the origins of the banjo and of the field music but that began to create the Eraser once you started getting to race.
Records and then you saw the Great Northern migration of the music going north and then it became kind of cloudified by white Americans into this space but you really think about one of the lead banjo artists on Beyonce's album right now ran get and she's really been keeping the the life of the banjo alive and The Roots and the origin story.
Let's talk to historian Amanda can you can I just walk us through some of the challenges that black country music artists have historically faced sure yeah so and I'll just start by um echoing what uh was just brought up about how um the roots of country music um it's a really a shared multi-racial culture um but in the 1920s when country.
Music uh first becomes commercialized uh is created as a marketing category it was first called hillbilly in oldtime music and it's evolved into what we now call country music but that was the 1920s the era of Jim Crow segregation so when the music was commercialized it was done so very consciously along uh lines of race and there was this idea that you.
Had this type of music for a white consumer right country music what we call it today and on the flip side you had uh race records right um so country music has always been marketed with only a white consumer in mind so I think that uh when people in the country music industry look at a black artist they have this uh really this myth this idea.
In their head that they white consumers don't want to listen to or won't accept a black artist and Charlene that brings us to you uh there's been a significant shift when it comes to Black listeners over the past couple of months what are the new trends and is Beyonce to credit for it well uh I think we have to credit Beyonce with just a little bit of it but.
Um the Resurgence of having this conversation for sure um some of the research that we've seen just you know jumping off the experts here um this is unfortunately a pattern we've seen a few times where again we mark it with a particular consumer in mind um but our recent research um from our diverse intelligence series shows that even.
About 51% of white genen Z Americans um say it's important to them to follow a black Creator so those things that come from our culture and are centered with our stories don't just bring black audiences along they bring along everyone that's exactly the pattern that we've seen um I think with uh post Cowboy Carter dropping we saw the.
Engagement of young black listeners increased 40% year-over-year and we've continued to see that rise almost every month since the album came out so it's not just about Beyonce or Cowboy Carter I think what is most uh exciting for for me and for so many others is folks are finding things that they really love and enjoy and almost like coming out and.
Expressing like oh yeah I have roots and connection to this culture and to this music that go back generations and Amanda with the emergence of more black country artists do you think there will be a shift in the amount of diversity in the genre more accepted I hope so um and I think that this will primarily come from you know Charlene.
Brought up uh you know black fans on Tik talk uh black artists uh more members of the industry that are um people of color within country music I think that there are hopeful things things like um there was a a black fan of country music named Holly G that started the black opery in 20121 that's now uh grown uh to uh she just launched uh Black Op record so I.
Think there is hope for for things to change from uh black creators within country music we're seeing them uh really uh take their n agency to new levels in this moment and can I also just add that I think the barriers have come down for the audience too so people have such um easy access between streaming between radio um to engage.
With and explore from Brian and giddens onto the new artist that we're we're seeing the Raina Roberts or whoever it is um that they can just tap into those sources and they don't need permission they don't need a gatekeeper as we were talking about before um so that's really exciting I think as well Mike we have to.
Talk about more about Beyonce I know it's not all Beyonce but be she looks in my direction but beon really did give people a kind of Crash Course of who are black country music artists right now she didn't come at this alone she brought these other artists onto this album with her to give them a moment to shine as well how do you think that.
Shifts the conversation here she's uplifting so many other black country artists who may not have that name recognition or may have that name presence she's included artist such as Tanner Adele Britney Spencer Tiara Kennedy Raina Roberts Linda Martell shabzi Willie Jones and of course Ranna but particular I want to lean into Linda.
Martell just really quickly if not for Jim Crow If not for racism if not for the streaming and monetizing of race records in the radio industry Linda Martell would be the Beyonce of the country music she was so historical with this album that she actually called one of the songs on Cowboy Carter the Linda Martell show and what Linda Martell does.
In that moment and she says genres genres are a funny concept end quote and really that goes to Charlene what you're talking about about why blacks are such streamers of and consumers of country music it really is a blend of genres even when you think about it it's Blues it's R&B it's gospel and it's storytelling that's all rooted in the.
Black diaspora of music and performance so that's why we are drawn to it and why ay in technology does if you like this song we're going to suggest this for you because it's all of the foundational structures of black music thanks to Mike Charlene and Amanda thank you so much for being here coming up Don Lewis performs his new song Long Time Coming.

The greatest political movement in the history of our country you know that make America great again magga and whoa look at all of the fake news they got a they got a lot of fake news back there that's a lot of fake news David that's a lot of.
People some I like about 7% and some I don't like no that's a lot but uh you know when I say the greatest political movement in the history of our country if I say something even slightly wrong they give me 12 pinocchios right 12 Pinocchio now we can't say anything even a little bit wrong I can't even joke one I used to show Biden couldn't find the.
Stairs off the stairway they'd say Trump couldn't find they say they took it and they would say I couldn't when uh different things the worst thing you can do with them is sarcasm because it doesn't work with the fake news so we won't have any fun but we will have fun we're going to have a lot ofun and I recognize you how are.
You and I recognize you but no it's amazing what uh what we've built all together and started eight years ago maybe a little before that who knows probably started 40 years ago in our soul but it started 8 years ago and nobody would have thought anything like this could have happened and it represents a tremendous piece of.
The Republican party and more importantly it represents a tremendous piece of this country tremendous peace a lot more than 50% therefore we have to get out and vote this past week I was honored to receive two endorsements of former democrats for president tulsey gabard and Robert F Kennedy Jr and they're both great people they.
Were Democrats as you probably know and they uh felt very strongly about the endorsement and I feel very happy to get it every day we are welcoming more Republicans Independents traditional Democrats and oldfashioned liberals you know they don't use that term anymore they use Progressive we don't use that term we like liberal better Progressive.
Sounds so good it sounds Progressive they're not Progressive they're the opposite together we're fighting to secure our borders and the endless Foreign Wars and defend the working people of America and coming in I heard some of the most beautiful speeches I heard just beautiful beautiful speeches I want to thank all of the speakers that.
Preceded me beautiful speeches we're joining forces to defeat government corruption restore free speech and make America healthy again we're going to make America healthy again you know we're a nation that is not doing well in a lot of ways and we're not doing so well with health.
But we're going to solve a lot of those problems I think over the next short period of time a lot of it's common a lot of that's common sense too it's all common sense when you get right down to it but we're going to get toxic chemicals out of our environment and we're going to get them out of our food supply we're going to get them out of.
Our bodies we'll get them out of our body right right with Victory this fall we will enact this pro- family agenda and we will bring back the American dream bigger better and stronger than ever before they never talk about the the American dream they never mention it they don't talk about the American Flag.
By the way the American flag we got some of the greatest Congressman Warriors here that you have anywhere and congressmen go to Congress soon like immediately but soon we should give a oneyear sentence in jail to anybody that burns the American flag you should do that Mike do it Mike right do.
It that looks so bad at the Democrat National I always call Democrat you know they want it to be called Democratic I said then change your name they don't change the name sounds worse so I use it but the Democrat National Convention I watch those American flags burning all over the place I think it's a disgrace and they said it's unconstitutional to.
Stop it like hell it is okay like hell it is it's not unconstitution it's like when I stopped the riots in Washington they were going they were taking down statues they were having a lot of fun they didn't know what they were doing having a lot of fun and I pulled out an old law from from 1907 because we don't pass laws like.
That that are tough and it said if you touch a monument if you touch it even touch it against the will of authority if you take it down but if you even touch it you go to jail for 10 years and there's no N9 years and 5 months it's 10 years and so I signed it I took it out it was Dusty it was old and Dusty hadn't been used in 78 years I think they.
And I signed it I announced it and I watched about 10,000 asses I could watch from the back as they left town they were all gone I I knew there was a problem when they started ripping down a statue of Abraham Lincoln I said they're going to take down the statue of Lincoln I don't think that's I we're not going to let.
That happen and we've got to be tough because if you see what's happening in Aurora Colorado today did you see that where v v whing gang members have taken over parts of the city they've taken over apartment houses because these stupid people that we have leading our country are allowing these people these criminals to come and to come into our.
Country and we're going to get them the hell out of here and this is just the beginning wait till you see what happens wait till you see what they're doing unbelievable no it's these congressmen they're looking they's just shaking their head they can't believe it they can't believe two things actually the size of these crowds you know you could.
Fill this place up three times why didn't you get a larger Arena somebody said as we were riding by oh it's too bad the arena hasn't started filling up I said no you don't understand it's totally full but the line goes back for miles it's already full but we got to do that Fellers you know we got to do.
It because I've been saying for a long time I said these people are coming in from prisons and jails nobody listen to me they're murderers they're drug dealers if you take a look at Venezuela as an example their crime is down 72% because they've taken their criminals from Caracus they've taken.
Their drug dealers they're emptying their prisons into our country they crime is down all over the world crime is down in the Congo in Africa 22 people deposited into our country where do you come from the Congo we in the Congo jail what did you do we will not say that you can imagine listen they come from Africa they come from the Middle East countries.
That are not friends of ours and they're coming by the millions by the millions and these fools Kamala who's a Marxist these fools are letting them come into our country destroy our country and I said you know did you ever see the I don't want to brag but they do have a big selling hat you know what it says Trump was right about everything right.
Front row Joe Front Row Joe right no but it's hey look if I ran one of those countries I would be doing better than them at getting the people out you run a country the country is inundated with really tough people that are criminals I want to get them the hell out if I was.
The head of a country the president of a country if I was in charge of anything having to do with the country I would have moved them out even faster than they're doing they are moving people into to our country at numbers that nobody's ever seen and those countries are becoming safe countries and way till you see what's going to happen you know.
They're just getting acced you know what that means acced they're getting used to a society that really goes too far in the only thing they go after is guys like Trump because he protests an election that's the only thing they're good at going after they don't go after criminals they don't go after people that kill people they don't go after.
Drug dealers that kill on average 500 people during their lifetime so a drug dealer kills 500 people and the only thing they would understand would be the death penalty if you had the death penalty for drug dealers you wouldn't have any more drugs you wouldn't have any instead we form Blue Ribbon committees made up of a great first lady.
And lots of people like Steve wiitf great developer in New York but they don't do this for a living the only thing they understand I went to China I saw president shei had a good relationship until Co came in then I broke it off it was that was too much but I said to him and I had a great relationship with him and I will again.
Probably but I said do you have a drug problem 1.4 billion people no no no we have no drug problem why don't you have a drug problem because we have the death penalty he said for drug deals if they sell drugs they die he said so those people that sld drugs they said you know let's go to another country this is a little bit T but they.
Do in many other countries in countries where you have that you don't have a drug problem and we are becoming a drug infested Nation whether you like it or not we're becoming a drug infested Nation so we better get our act together you know years ago centuries ago China was taken over over numerous times by smaller Nations much smaller Nation.
Because they were all drugged out from the Opium fields and all of that and then one of their very powerful leaders said no more and they ended it and we're going to have to end it to because we're really a country that is a we're a failing nation in a lot of ways what they've done to our country is incredible what is Camala who's a total.
Lightweight did you see her on television last night this is going to be the president this is going to be the president of our country I don't think so sitting propped up in a desk with this guy this this uh tampon Tim tampon and it's a first interview she's.
Done and like nobody's ever seen anything like it and if you're two week to do a one-on-one interview with a person that was so soft you know I know Dana she's always you know always nasty she was so nice to the Democrats it's much easier to be a Democrat but we don't agree of their policies because their policies will destroy our nation.
So we can't do that we can't do that but it was a very weak interview from the standpoint of CNN I think CNN should be ashamed of themselves if that were me aren there sir I heard you want the death penalty for drug dealers why well you know I'd like to end the drug epidemic if that's okay remember this and I said it every drug dealer on.
Average kills 500 people that's not mentioning all of the families that are destroyed forever they're destroyed forever and we have to do something about it because we are becoming and we are a drug infested Nation we have to do something and if you did that meaningfully you will in one week stop the drug problem nobody's.
Going to be selling drugs nobody I don't know if the country is ready for it but they should you know we lost they give you fake numbers the real numbers we lost uh probably 350,000 people last year to drugs to fentol and Other Drugs I had a deal with President G who was going to put that on the on their ultimate crime list that's where.
They give the death penalty if they make it in China they sell it here he was going to give the death penalty when we had a rigged election what happened is when I left they never picked it up Biden never picked it up so they never did it but they were going to give the death penalty which is their ultimate ultimate uh punishment you can't get too.
Much more ultimate than that they were going to give the death penalty to the fentol makers in China if they make it and sell it in here and they were going to do it because you know otherwise we weren't going to do trade little things like we won't trade with you anymore we won't pay you billions of dollars anymore so.
Easy so easy but people like Camala she let San Francisco die she destroyed probably the greatest City maybe one of the greatest cities but could be friend of mine Bob Tish used to say years ago he said San Francisco is the greatest city in America that was probably 16 so he passed away great guy he passed away but.
He used to talk about San Francisco all the time today you can't walk into San Francisco she destroyed it she destroyed she's the one that started it too she was the district attorney then she destroyed California along with Gavin nusum you know that one of the truly bad Governors but the fake news is doing everything possible everything they can.
To help Camala Harris do you ever noticed nobody knows what last name is I go okay I'm going to give you the first name tell me the last name I say Cala uh they have no idea who the hell she is but as they find out you notice our poll numbers are starting to Skyrocket when they find out that she's a Marxist.
When they find out her father you know is a Marxist Professor you know that when they find out that she was the one that destroyed California and San Francisco long time ago uh you can't have this look we have to put our country back into shape somebody said women don't like Donald Trump I said I think that's wrong I think they love me.
I love them I love them speaking of them North Carolina these women this is number 227 rally and they've been to some other than rallies 20 okay you've been listening to former president Donald.
Trump at a campaign event in Johnstown Pennsylvania a key town in a key State we want to come on the air here with a quick fact check and then we're going to bring in our senior National correspondent Terry Moran who is there but first the fact check very quickly just a few things that stood out to us first Trump called for a one-year jail.
Sentence for anyone convicted of burning an American flag uh the American burning the American flag is constitutionally protected Free Speech the Supreme Court has determined in a case from the80s Texas V Johnson in fact anonin Scalia who was a popular conservative Justice was the deciding vote in that case who believed that it was constitutionally.
Protected Free Speech To Burn an American flag onwards for us Trump repeated claims that other countries are emptying emptying their prisons into the United States he has done that before he cited one example that he often sight saying that the Democratic Republic of the Congo was doing this um a fact check on that US Customs and Border Protection.
Have encountered 2,000 or so congales migrants but there's no evidence that any of them came from prison he referenced a number of countries but just a fact check there to kind of show you the Genesis of what he's saying he also said that he was charged uh with protesting an election we assume he's referring there to the charges from.
Special counsel Jack Smith Jack Smith is not charged Donald Trump with protesting an election he's charged Donald Trump with taking specific actions to allegedly try to overturn the results of the 2020 election that for instance is leaning on elected officials allegedly and lining up things like fake electors uh to to contest the results of the.
Election again Donald Trump that case is still playing out he will presumably have his day in court on that case uh and one more thing he also said something that he repeatedly says which is he alleges that undocumented immigrants when they come into this country are committing crime in some cases as he alleges at a higher rate.
That's not true undocumented immigrants actually according to various studies commit crimes at a lesser rate than US citizens and in fact there's a study from 20120 that found that US citizens are over I'll quote directly here two times more likely to be arrested for things like violent crimes versus undocumented immigrants again a number.
Of things that the former president said but those are just a few fact checks for you I do want to bring in our senior National correspondent Terry Moran who was there at that Pennsylvania rally and Terry let's talk about the goal of this rally Trump is is in a a heavily Republican area of a version of a part of that state he's outside of Pittsburgh.
He's in a steel town he's got people with hard hat sitting there behind him uh talk to me about this appeal that Trump is trying to make to these rural voters trying to run up the margins there there's no question this is the swing state of Pennsylvania this is Trump Heartland this part of Pennsylvania and as for those workers.
Right the whole essence of of Trump's make America great again really economically rests on his notion that America should make things again manufacturing this part of America obviously with the steel mills which left 40 years ago they're going to bring that back entirely but he thinks that the offshoring of American manufacturing.
Which was accomplished you know essentially by investors over the course of many decades was a mistake that resonates here right franking is a big big industry now here it is uh a boom industry of course and that's a a point of difference that he can underline for these workers as well has and he will he believes that make America great again.
Means making America back to work in those industrial era industries that he believes should be onshore taken back especially after the pandemic it's a key part of his appeal here this election Terry in many ways is going to be fought on a number of different fronts but one of them is this feeling about the economy because if you look at the.
Numbers of the economy inflation is cooling joblessness numbers are Rel relatively low and the job numbers appear strong um but there is a feeling in some parts of the country that those numbers that they see that the stock market for example doesn't necessarily affect them and in fact there's numbers that back that up in Cambria County.
Where Donald Trump is speaking right now since 2019 when the New York Times founded I thought this was interesting that they have actually 6% fewer jobs from 2019 to 2023 so while you hear about these job gains and the Biden administ and they are very much real they don't hit every single County in this country equally do you think that.
That works in Donald Trump's favor some of these counties feeling left behind no question his appeal that's why he comes to places like Johnstown which isn't often visited by presidential candidates uh in previous elections is because this is where uh America got left behind uh where people when they offshored the steel industry and other.
Manufacturing Industries and even during the Biden Administration right those inflation numbers those jobs numbers it's not even across the country in a place like this they have lost jobs and for a lot of families uh in the middle and lower middle working class families that inflation was just killing I remember the inflation much higher from.
The 1970s living with inflation in your family is a demoralizing experience of grinding down of the spirit of possibility and that here you can sense that as well we talk to people they can't afford to live somebody said look you used to be able to have a decent living on 40,000 a year I can't even you know get by here and that is a Clarion.
Call that Trump is making to people that he can turn that around NE can he I don't know but they certainly blame the current Administration that's where those unfavorable numbers on the Biden presidency are really coming he killed our child and Terry one more thing if you don't mind I want to drill down on this idea of Pennsylvania and some of.
These Republican heavy counties because the Trump strategy is to run up the vote totals in places like where he is now in Johnstown which you know can be a swing is city but it's in a county that's heavily Republican and it's surrounded by counties that are heavily Republican kamla Harris is trying to penetrate that her campaign is trying to appeal to.
Rural Democrats to try to offset any gains Trump would make in those rural Republican heavy counties do you see that as being effective from what you've seen in the campaign Trail could Tim Walls for instance who's got rural Roots himself penetrate in some of those rural counties in a place like Pennsylvania or is it just too strong of a trump.
Country no there's no question about it I think there's no question that Tim Wallace is going to come to counties like this across the country certainly in all those swing States and there's a reason because there are votes there might not be able to win the county but just walking away from Democrats who are going to stay home same with Trump uh in.
The cities the coalitions are not as fixed as it seems right there are indications that uh some Hispanic voters have come to Trump some black voters have come to Trump young black men in particular young people young men in particular and and in the other direction there are indications that Democrats can play that can play in.
Rural counties can play in counties that they've given up on it mixes up the board a little bit in a very healthy way right you have to expand your message we're seeing Trump doing it and we're seeing the Harris walls campaign doing it Terry forgive me we have a little bit of breaking news that I just want to get in here which is that before he took.
That stage behind you former president Trump did an interview with Fox News and he gave his clearest answer yet on how he would vote on his home State's ballot measure that would enshrine abortion rights into that state constitution and essentially repeal a current Florida state law that bans abortions after 6 weeks which is before most women know.
That they pregnant here is what Trump said about that and it's kind of illustrative as to his thoughts on the abortion issue in general and remember Trump has bragged about appointing those three supp Supreme Court Justices that were instrumental in overturning row he said about how he would vote quote uh he said first he would be voting no and.
Then he said I think six weeks which is the state law in Florida you need more time than six weeks I've disagreed with that from the early primaries when I heard about it I disagree with it at the same time again I'm quoting from Trump here the Democrats are radical so I'll be voting no for that reason so he seems to try to kind of split the issue here.
And say that he doesn't agree with the six we ban but he's also going to vote no on the ballot measure that would overturn the six-week ban how is this going to play in your view with Suburban Women Voters particularly there in Pennsylvania that Trump has got to make inroads with if he wants to be successful well there's no question Jay.
The reason he is saying these things that uh and also the fact that he now wants the government to pay for IVF treatments which Catholics Southern Baptist a lot of pro-life anti-abortion rights people believe is the equivalent of abortion because there are many embryos that get discarded and if you believe that life begins a conception.
That is an immoral thing to do Trump wants no part of that because he sees the mainstream what's happening after the uh the Striking down of Row versus Wade is that both parties realize that that their extremes aren't where the country is the country supported R versus weight po Shaw for decades that they supported it by two to one uh.
Measures and the politicians are following they're groping for the center trying to get to the center because they know being outside that Center as the past several special elections and 2022 demonstrated that this is a dangerous place to be because people vote this isue Terry Moran livee from that Trump event in johntown Pennsylvania Terry.

County New Jersey you know what's so heartbreaking about this is that the brothers were actually in town for their sister's wedding for today and they were both groomsmen now here's the Tik Tok of all this the timeline police say the driver identified as Sean Higgins plowed his Jeep in into the two while he was trying to pass another SUV and then took.
Off from the scene authorities do believe that driver Higgins was drunk under the influence even allegedly telling cops at the scene that he had five to six beers Higgins is now charged with two counts of death by aotto and as you can imagine this loss is just unfathomable you know gdra was celebrated he was a celebrated forward.
And his team the Columbus Blue Jackets just heartbroken releasing this statement saying quote Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice we're also hearing from Boston College where he and his brother were Stand Out players I mean uh G Roo leading the Eagles to a national title and then.
Going on to win the H Hopey Baker award as the nation's best Collegiate player his brother again also playing at BC here's a reaction to the tragedies from BC coach Greg Brown who was an assistant when the goodro played there they brought a ton of Joy to the ring they were happy to be there like truly happy to be there big smiles all.
The time the things they could do on the ice now that's what people who don't know them remember because they were both magical in their own ways but uh everyone just LED having them on the team they were tremendous teammates and again this is still very much under investigation Sean Higgins is behind bars right now his next court appearance.
Is set for September 5th Jay Morgan Norwood for us Morgan thank you turning now to another tragic death and a new development in the investigation of friend star Matthew Perry's fatal overdose Mark Chavez one of the doctors charged with supplying the actor with the ketamine that led to his death is appearing in court today he.
Reached a plea agreement with prosecutors earlier this month we want to bring in ABC's Alex Stone who is live outside that courthouse in Los Angeles for us Alex thank you for your time as always my friend bring us up to speed as to what happened inside that hearing just moments ago hey there Jay well the the court.
Hearing wrapping up a moment ago inside the court Dr Chavez appeared nervous standing listening to the judge as a judge laid out the case saying just how serious this case was he's looking at the potential of 10 years in prison but making a deal with prosecutors to tell what he knows in this case his attorney telling me that his client is remorseful.
That his client realizes the impact that he had on the life of Matthew Perry that he knows that he played a role in the death of Matthew Perry and that he now wants to make it right and wants to help out prosecutors the headline today was that he has given up his medical license he is no longer officially a doctor at this point he did not enter his plea it.
Will be a guilty plea probably in October when he'll enter that this was an initial appearance but he told the judge he understands the case and he's given up that license Alex you talked about his desire to help prosecutors how does this impending guilty plea help them in their case this is all about with this deal.
Trying to get both his guilty plea and from two of the other five who are accused in this case getting their guilty pleas to flip on the two the prosecutors are really going after Dr Salvador Placencia the other doctor the one who allegedly was the one giving the ketamine to Matthew Perry Dr Chavez was allegedly giving it to Dr Placencia and.
Then Dr Placencia giving it to the assistant for Matthew Perry and Matthew Perry himself depending on the circumstance and then Jasmine Sangha the ketamine queen of La as she was known they're going after them they could be those two looking at 120 years and 100 years respectively in prison that's who prosecutors are going after they want.

And today's big story 67 days out from election day and from rural voters to the suburbs the battle is on Donald Trump rallying today in a Pennsylvania steel town and the breaking news how he plans to vote on his home State's abortion ballot measure moments from now meantime vice president kamla Harris making her pitch to voters in her first.
Televised interview since becoming the Democratic nominee addressing criticism that she's flip-flopped on some key policies what she said as she and her allies also talk Reproductive Rights hammering the former president's record and in our Spotlight a new Watchdog report claims Columbia University failed to stop violence against Jewish students.
Their finding Ing and what it means as kids return to the classroom in just one week but we do begin with our big story the race for the White House Donald Trump is back on the campaign Trail today holding a rally in Johnstown Pennsylvania an important city a steel town in the must-win Battleground state.
Of Pennsylvania slamming vice president kamla Harris we're going to defeat comrade kamla Harris did you see her did you see her last night did you see her last night I don't know you think she's going to be able to handle president she I don't know I don't think so with Victory this fall we.
Will enact this pro- family agenda and we will bring back the American dream bigger better and stronger than ever before just before those remarks in a new interview just released Trump making it clear he will vote no on a ballot measure in his home state of Florida that would overturn that State's 6- week abortion.
Ban meantime yesterday in Wisconsin his campaign is pitching a new policy pledging that Trump would make IVF treatments free if he returns to the White House here's that for people that are using IVF which is fertilization we are govern the government is going to pay for it or we're going to get or mandate your insurance company to pay.
Pay for it which is going to be great we're going to do that meantime vice president kamla Harris sitting down for her first television interview since becoming the Democratic nominee her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walls also there right besid her in that interview she addressed criticism that she's.
Flip-flopped on certain policies Harris saying that her values quote haven't changed in saying this about her economic plan day one it's going to be about one implement my plan for what I call an opportunity economy I've already laid out a number of um proposals in that regard which include what we're going to.
Do to bring down um the cost of everyday Goods what we're going to do to invest in America's small businesses what we're going to do to invest in families so Friday can be a sleepy news day not this Friday we got a lot to talk about so we want to turn to our panel Now ABC contributor and serus XM radio host Mike Muse Democratic strategist and.
Former mayor of the great city of Baltimore May Stephanie Rings Blake Republican strategist Trisha mclaughin and ABC News contributor and oped columnist for the Los Angeles Times L Granderson welcome in all of you Stephanie I want to turn to you and I want to pick up where we just left off with that kamla Harris interview she was.
Pressed repeatedly on why her opinions changed on a number of issues from fracking to the green New Deal to immigration and her answer is you heard me say was that her values haven't changed but she doesn't necessarily answer why her policy positions have changed is that going to be enough to satisfy voters and and what do you think.
She should have said I think her answer was spoton I I think people understand that when you know better you can do better and she has had more information and I I also think in our own lives we've experienced where we've had a position found out uh more information or times have changed and our opinions change it is okay uh.
That what she said that stuck with me about her values not changing is true she thoughtfully answered the questions and what we also know is Trump's values haven't changed he values winning at all cost you saw that when he was saying now IVF is going to be free for anybody who wants it and with no concept or no answer to who is going to pay for it and.
How it is going to get paid so when you have someone whose values are rooted in service and rooted in facts that's why you can get someone who's uh feels okay changing their mind unlike Trump who's uh rooted in rooting for himself well she's also got to win Pennsylvania and you can't come out on Banning fracking if you want to win Pennsylvania but I do.
Want to move on Trish mcglaughlin I want to bring you in here former Trump Administration official because I want to read you something that former president Trump just said moments ago as you heard me say he said he's going to vote no on Florida's abortion ballot measure that's some breaking news and then he said when giving his reasoning.
Quote so I think six weeks referring to the six- we abortion ban in Florida you need more than six weeks I've disagreed with that from the early primaries when I heard about it I disagreed with it at the same time the Democrats are radical and then he goes on to say so I'll be voting no for that reason he's kind of trying to have it both ways he's trying.
To say he doesn't like the six weeks in the ban but also he's going to vote no on the ballot measure to overturn that ban do you think that that's going to be hard to take for Suburban Women Voters that Trump has got to win no I think that's how a lot of Americans feel I think that they feel often Democrats go too far in some of.
These policies the weeks are far you know like 21 weeks way too far Americans probably feel more comfortable somewhere between the 12 and 17 week I think a lot of Republicans don't feel comfortable with the six week Mark so I think he he's where a lot of Americans are I do want to address one thing that my Democrat friend said which was that KLA.
Harris addressed to at all her flip-flops I don't think in any way did she especially the immigration issue in fact she never said she has information so that's why she changed her mind Dana Bash actually gave her that answer which was quite a help to have the uh help leading the witness if you will she never answered why she let 10 to 15.
Million people illegally enter this country under her watch she never said why she was backtracking on defunding Ice actually in fact if she would defund ice which is sounding like she wouldn't her defense for her absolute disaster at the border was this bipartisan border bill which by the way way did not come up until 3.5 years into that.
Administration it would have allowed for Mass amnesty and oh by the way more than 5,000 illegal immigrants being allowed to enter this country that is not policy that is tough on the border Americans do not want that Trisha just to drill down something very quickly because we do have limited time but if Trump I want to go back to that abortion thing if Trump.
Says he doesn't like the six week ban as you said most Americans are in that place that he feels six weeks is too Draconian why not vote for the ballot measure that gets rid of it I don't know the details of that ballot measure so I can't speak to that but I can understand that that people want somewhere in the middle uh Elie I want.
To turn to you here the Harris campaign is pointing out that Trump has bragged about appointing the justices that overturned row Trump has said that he he likes where abortion is currently in this country because it's a state issue now um do you think that that's a message that could help the Harris campaign or could this Trump IVF plan.
The government paying for IVF is the pitch that Donald Trump has given you heard him give it in that sound could that help him make some in inroads frankly with Suburban female voters too Jay did you use the word plan with that IVF pitch as if it was thought out and and and there's like a way to pay for it and how it's going to be.
Administered and executed because I didn't hear a plan what I heard was throwing stuff up against the wall and hoping something sticks and with all due respect my fellow Republican uh panelists and and I am not a Democrat I need to say this first um going after vice president kamla Harris for quote-unquote flip-flopping within the.
Context of a conversation about abortion with reference to Donald Trump is very rich this is a man in 1999 who came out publicly on Meet the Press and said multiple times he was for Choice he decided to run for president and then he decided he was prolif he decided he need to be even more prolif and said that we needed to be punished.
Because he was up against fellow Christians like Senator Marco Rubio as well as Senator Ted Cruise in order to separate himself he needs to be even more extreme he continued to go further and further right until the point in which Roby way was overturned and he realized that women actually wanted a choice and now he has reversed courses.
So while it's true that Senator Vice that vice president Harris has changed her position of several issues attacking her within the context of abortion regards to Donald Trump just seems really rich to me uh Mike I want to turn to economic issues just very quickly with you because Trump is campaigning in a steel town of Pennsylvania is in.
Johnstown and one of the things is the Biden Administration in kamla Harris they like to tout the job gains during the bid Administration and there have been significant job gains during this Administration but the New York Times has this analysis in which they found that not every single County in this country has seen those kind of gains and.
That it's kind of been an unequal job market in various places so for instance where Trump is in Western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh some of those counties including the one he's in have actually seen fewer jobs for instance in 2023 than they had in 2019 so they haven't seen this covid rebound do you think that could work to Trump's Advantage.
This kind of unequal comeback in some instances I don't know if it's a advantage or a disadvantage but I think both candidates have to lay out their economic agenda and how they are continuing going to grow uh the economy in particular in relationship to the GDP uh we SE we have seen job numbers go down uh to which vice president Harris.
Was P it has an interest position of how does she One support the administration that she is a part of the Biden haris Administration while at the same time separating herself for a vision on what she sees going forward I found it very interesting in the interview yesterday that and throughout her campaign that she's been leading so much into Middle.
America and and to make sure that Middle America has actually the opportunities to grow in particular I found interesting Around clean energy uh as someone who is a big uh has interest in in climate science and energy science uh the fact that she was really made that pronouncement uh yesterday where she said that in 2019 she was against.
Fracking but in 2020 on the debate SES she said that she would not uh stop fracking and then she said in her role of Vice President they continued not to implement any no fracking what she concluded was that the data suggested that you can have a clean energy economy while at the same time having fracking so I think there's something important.
About when you allow the data uh to make your decisions for you in particular about ways to grow jobs in particular West Virginia where there has a the um this Narrative of the coal industry right so it's almost like how can you transition your current economy manufacturing and local municipalities while at the same time converting over.
To a clean energy economy so that you can do both at the same time look at the emissions while at the same time growing local municipali in order to create jobs in those areas to which addresses your question but that has to have more Nuance of an answer to a very great question that you asked Jay well I'll repeat my refrain.
Though tough to win Pennsylvania if you are against fracking Mike Stephanie Trisha LZ she said she wasn't okay keep your seats everybody and September 10th be sure to watch ABC News because vice president KLA Harris and former president Trump are set to debate for the first time right here on ABC News.

At wit's end the hunt for a killer only on Hulu why do you so many people start their day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day's top stories a lot of news today so let's get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four Edward R murl Awards and see why the New York Times calls it.
A news podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that's a part of the story I bet you didn't see coming wherever you get your podcasts start here in our Spotlight tonight a new report out today says Columbia University failed to stop hate and violence against.
Jewish students on its campus the report comes from a task force made up of Faculty members which interviewed nearly 500 students over 20 meetings and what they found were complaints of widespread anti-Semitism on campus grounds including in dorms clubs and classrooms the group also criticizing school officials for refusing to believe.
Students complaints all of this happening in the backdrop of the start of the new semester so we want to bring back our panel to discuss this Mike Stephanie Trisha and LZ welcome in all of you again Mike I want to start with you what stood out to you from this report and do you see Colombia taking any additional action here we've already.
Seen the president of Columbia resign amongst this issue and others but do you see changes at the school now hopefully some changes will be implemented I think what stood out for me though Jay to your question was in Reading how they had to again Define what is anti-Semitism uh for me that was a standout to really just where we are.
In in America and in society where often times a lot of us in the media a lot of us who are aware and do this type of work that we make broad assumptions that so many Americans have an understanding of what it is to be anti-semitic what it is to have hate speech and that there is sometimes a misunderstanding of what exactly freedom of speech and freedom of.
Expression actually allows you into this country up until the point of Do no harm so for me what stood out is not only do the Colombia the ecosystem columb University needed education on anti- uh anti-semitic rhetoric as well as hatte beats uh but also too the broader scope of American society and culture needs to have a broader.
Understanding uh as well as how University not just at Colombia but so many other universities are dealing with this as they return back to campus where the fall how to put procedures in place that one allows students of freedom of speech Ander protest but until up and does harm until I think there needs to be more education around the protocols.
Around that I want to come back to the fall in just a few moments because you make a good point there Trisha I want to quickly turn to you here because Elite colleges like Columbia like other Ivy League schools they've been a top Target of House Republicans there's this ongoing investigation as you know in the House Education committee into.
Anti-Semitism on college campuses it's resulted in a number of University presidents resigning in some instances because of how they performed in those committee hearings do you think a report like this from inside the university would supercharge that investigation or would it get maybe House Republicans off the back of a school like Colombia.
Because they could see some kind of progress yeah I think Colombia is absolutely trying to get ahead of the external reports and investigations with their own and hoping that helps shape the narrative some of these claims in this report though of course were startling a student who was harassed for having a mauza on her dorm room door.
Jewish students who say that their Star of David David necklaces were stripped from their necks them being pinned against walls not allowed to go into certain buildings on campus this is obviously a huge problem and I think we have to be clear that there's a major difference between freedom of speech which is essential these protesters.
Practicing their first amendment rights and those who actually are violent and are threatening other students Elie Granderson as you know my friend I am an Avid Reader of your work and you went to what I I think was a Doug mhof event if I recall correctly in Michigan if I'm right and you interviewed um a young Jewish a student there and he as I.
Recall recounted uh his experiences with anti-Semitism to what did he tell you um oh yeah yes he did Jay and um I was actually thinking about him as you were uh speaking with the other panelists because it it really shook me uh he's only 17 years old and he talked about you know some of the things that we've heard on campus except it was in.
His high school uh one of his cousins was actually one of the 3,000 attendees of the festival the music festival that Hamas attacked and left about 400 people dead his cousin was in that festival and he shared that story in the classroom and some of his classmates snickered at him um I I can't imagine what it would be like to try to share something so.
Vulnerable but then to also be Jewish in that environment um in this environment of the country and so I appreciate your words on my my peace Jay and I would just say that this conversation that we're having isn't just about college campuses it's a conversation to be having everywhere with there Educators and students Stephanie very quickly and.
Forgive me we have limited time uh when students return in the fall if there are more protests do you think think that that creates an issue for the Harris campaign just given the Deep divisions between Democrats on this issue you know I I hate to think of it uh as a campaign issue when I have a a daughter who's a senior in college and.
Every parent wants their child to be in an environment when they where they are safe and I've spoken to parents of uh Jewish students who are in Te were in tears because of the way that uh their their children were being treated you know I think it's important for us to have Free Speech but the level of hate that we've seen in this country.
Shouldn't be tolerated on any campus an excellent point there Stephanie thank you for that Mike Trisha LZ thank you as well keep your seats stay with us because still ahead in our last call on this Friday night a little bit of a change of gears for us why teenage girls are flocking to fantasy football leagues could it be the Taylor.

Football is back and it's booming in popularity with millions of Americans now playing fantasy sports exploding an industry that's already bringing billions of dollars into people's wallets so we want to bring back our panel to talk about this because there also has been this massive increase in female fantasy sports fans so let's.
Bring back our panel to have this conversation welcome in all uh Stephanie I want to start with you there has been this thought process in the crunching of the numbers that because of it's been labeled as you heard me say in the teas the Taylor Swift effect where more females are flocking to fantasy sports because of Taylor Swift you know look.
More women watched NFL games because of Taylor Swift but females make up like half of the NFL's fan base so do you think that this kind of Conversation Piece is a little bit overblown well I'm here for the new a era of Tor Swift fans and I hope that that means that we'll get some better gear and I can put my bedazzler away I'm.
So sick of having to up all of my NFL my Ravens gear because it's so grab I love it Swift these come on get get the jewelry going everything that's what I mean like the NFL has said for years there are tons of female football fans and so there's been this like misnomer that there aren't but I want to turn to Trisha mcglaughlin with all of this what.
Is your take on this I'm with Stephanie I'm a Bengals fan though but I will not be participating at all in fantasy football my record is horrible but all for all the ladies men who do I I am the worst fantasy football player there possibly is Mike Muse are you good at fantasy sports I am I haven't won my league yet.
But I I do Place typically within the top five of my league so I do a really great job with but I am excited for this though I think really the subtext of this is how often I talk to so many of my friends who are girl dads and say that they have now the opportunity to sit and watch football games not just with their wives.
Or partners and girlfriends but they now get the chance to watch it with their daughters and I think that is special and I think that's really helping Drive the Intrigue of fanasy football and viewership Al together is this family Dynamic of watching the game together yeah that is huge Elie Granderson your thoughts on all of this you can have any.
Take that you possibly want you get no specific question no I think it's all fantastic I think having Taylor Swift involved is great but I will give the NFL credit 10 years ago Ray Rice with the Baltimore Ravens had that horrible video come out and over the last 10 years the NFL has worked really hard to do better with his.
