IT FEELS LIKE LIVING IN A SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE. WE JUST SAW WHAT NO ONE HAS SEEN BEFORE. LOOK AT THAT. OH, MY GOSH. WELL, WE ARE HEADING INTO THE UNKNOWN. HAMMER, HAMMER, HAMMER. IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE CUTTING EDGE. AND THIS THURSDAY, AUGUST 29TH. BUCKLE YOUR SUN BELT. >> WE START HERE WITH SIZABLE POLLING SWINGS. KAMALA HARRIS IS POURING RESOURCES INTO STATES LIKE GEORGIA, STATES THAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE HAD AGREED WERE OUT OF JOE BIDEN'S REACH AFTER MONTHS OF SINGING THE BIDEN BLUES. COULD THE DEMOCRATIC MAP BE OPENING UP? ISRAEL LAUNCHES A NEW RAID AND NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT GAZA. >> THE WEST BANK HASN'T SEEN AN OPERATION LIKE THIS IN YEARS. WHY? IT COULD INFLAME THE ENTIRE REGION. AND IF THIS PADDING REALLY REDUCES CONCUSSIONS BY 50%, WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? >> IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE AN EGG CART, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. WHY NFL GAMES COULD LOOK DIFFERENT AS THE SEASON BEGINS . >> FROM ABC NEWS, THIS IS START HERE. I'M BRAD MIELKE AND OFTEN THE LAST MONTH OF AUGUST SEEN AS A KIND OF SLEEPY ONE IN POLITICS. BUT THIS WEEK YOU CAN FEEL THE INTENSITY LEVEL RISING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. >> WE'RE GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. TODAY, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS EVENTS SCHEDULED IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. J.D. VANCE IS STOPPING THIS WEEK IN PENNSYLVANIA. >> IT IS GREAT TO BE IN ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. AND FOR MUCH OF THE YEAR, IT HAS SEEMED CLEAR THAT THESE ARE THE STATES THIS ELECTION WILL HINGE ON. LIKE IF TRUMP CAN WIN ANY OF THOSE THREE STATES THAT MADE UP JOE BIDEN'S SO-CALLED BLUE WALL IN THE UPPER MIDWEST, TRUMP WINS. >> AND YET THIS WEEK. AND SO WE WANT TO COME BY TO REMIND YOU THAT OUR NATION IS COUNTING ON YOU. SO PROUD OF YOU, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND HER NEW RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ, ARE IN GEORGIA AND NOT ATLANTA, WHERE THEY TRADITIONALLY FOCUSED. WE'RE TALKING RURAL GEORGIA. NOT A TON OF VOTERS THERE. AND THEY'RE ON A BUS TRIP, WHICH TAKES VALUABLE TIME. SO THE QUESTION NOW IS, DO DEMOCRATS SEE A ROAD AROUND THAT BLUE WALL AFTER A STAR STUDDED NATIONAL CONVENTION, OR ARE THERE SUDDENLY POTENTIALLY OTHER PATHS TO VICTORY? LET'S CHECK IN WITH DANIEL RAKICH, SENIOR ELECTIONS ANALYST WITH OUR PARTNERS AT FIVETHIRTYEIGHT. NATHANIEL, THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN WAS IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA LAST NIGHT. >> THEY'RE OUTSIDE OF SAVANNAH TODAY. WHY? >> GUESS WHY? WHY ARE THEY ZERO GOING IN THERE? YEAH, WELL, HARRIS JUST DOING GENERALLY IN THE POLLS AND BIDEN HAS OPENED UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN SOME STATES THAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE HAD AGREED WERE BASICALLY OUT OF JOE BIDEN'S REACH. AND THAT IS BASICALLY THOSE SOUTHERN SWING STATES LIKE GEORGIA, LIKE NORTH CAROLINA, IN NEVADA, EVEN ARIZONA. >> SO I THINK IT MAKES SENSE THAT HARRIS IS TRYING TO WIN GEORGIA AND I DON'T HAVE TO TELL FOLKS IN ATLANTA, THAT GENERATION OF AMERICANS BEFORE HIM LED THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. >> THE POLLS IN GEORGIA, ACCORDING TO OUR POLLING AVERAGE, ARE BASICALLY TIED RIGHT NOW. >> AND BIDEN WAS SEVERAL POINTS BEHIND. SO THAT DOES GIVE HER SOME OPTIONS IF SHE WERE TO LOSE ONE OF THOSE NORTHERN SWING STATES LIKE WISCONSIN. >> WHY? WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS DIFFERENT NOW FOR THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN THAN IT WAS FOR IN SOME OF THESE STATES? >> I THINK BASICALLY WHAT'S DIFFERENT FOR HARRIS IS THAT SHE IS POLLING BETTER ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND KIND OF A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS. SO, YOU KNOW, IF, SAY, NATIONALLY, BIDEN WAS DOWN BY ABOUT THREE POINTS BEFORE HE DROPPED OUT AND HARRIS IS NOW UP BY ABOUT THREE POINTS NATIONALLY, THAT SIX POINT BOOST EVERYWHERE AS HAS BROUGHT HER INTO CONTENTION AGAIN IN STATES LIKE GEORGIA, WHERE BIDEN WAS SIGNIFICANTLY TRAILING. AND NOW SHE HAS A REAL SHOT AT WINNING A STATE THAT SOME DEMOCRATS HAD WRITTEN OFF IS PART OF IT. >> THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE STATES THEMSELVES. NATHANIEL LIKE, I'M JUST THINKING, IF WE'RE SEEING IN POLLS THESE BIG SWINGS, THESE BIG TURNAROUNDS WITH BLACK OR LATINO VOTERS OR YOUNG VOTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ,DOES THAT MEAN THAT LIKE A STATE LIKE GEORGIA OR A STATE LIKE ARIZONA HAS LIKE DIFFERENT POCKETS OF VOTERS THAT NOW ALL SWING TOWARDS? HARRIS RIGHT. SO OBVIOUSLY, THE REASON THAT STATES LIKE GEORGIA AND ARIZONA HAVE BECOME COMPETITIVE IN RECENT YEARS AND 2020, FOR EXAMPLE, IS THEY HAVE LARGE POPULATIONS OF BLACK VOTERS AND LATINO VOTERS AS WELL AS A LOT OF COLLEGE EDUCATED WHITE VOTERS IN KIND OF THOSE SUBURBS AROUND ATLANTA AND PHOENIX. >> WE ARE ALL COMING TOGETHER. WE'RE SEEING DIFFERENT COALITIONS FOR BLACK WOMEN, WHITE WOMEN, WHAT IS GOING TO STAND UP FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. SHE ALREADY HAS STOOD UP FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT HARRIS HAS INCREASED HER VOTE SHARE AMONG THOSE VOTERS IN PARTICULAR, AT LEAST RELATIVE TO OTHER PEOPLE. WE SEE IN THE POLLS THAT SHE'S DOING BETTER WITH BLACK VOTERS. SHE'S ALSO DOING BETTER WITH NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED WHITE VOTERS, THE SO-CALLED WHITE WORKING CLASS THAT DOMINATE STATES LIKE WISCONSIN. >> NOT ONLY DOES THE VICE PRESIDENT UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE DIGNITY OF WORK AND HOW WORKERS ARE TAXED, BUT ALSO TO LIFT UP THE WAGES OF WORKERS AND AS A RESULT, SHE HAS IMPROVED UPON BIDEN'S STANDING IN STATES LIKE WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN AND PENNSYLVANIA BY JUST AS MUCH AS SHE HAS IN GEORGIA AND NEVADA AND ARIZONA. >> BECAUSE THEN I WAS GOING TO SAY, DOES THE TRUMP VANCE TICKET, DO THEY SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT IN SOME OF THESE UPPER MIDWEST STATES THAT HAVE, LIKE YOU SAID, WHITER AND PERHAPS OLDER POPULATIONS? BY YOUR LOGIC AND THERE'S NOT LIKE A HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR THEM NOW EITHER, LIKE THE RACE JUST ALL SORT OF TILTS GENERALLY A LITTLE BIT TOWARDS HARRIS. NOT OVERWHELMINGLY, A LITTLE BIT. AND THERE'S NO THERE'S NO. IS THERE ANY SILVER LINING FOR TRUMP? I SUPPOSE. >> I MEAN, YEAH, NOT REALLY. YOU KNOW, I DO THINK THE DEVELOPMENTS, OBVIOUSLY, THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD FOR, HIM AND HE THE POLLS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE FOR HIM ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT SAID, HIS BEST OPPORTUNITIES AT WINNING DO SEEM LIKE THEY'RE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN OUR POLLING AVERAGES, HE DOES STILL SLIGHTLY LEAD IN GEORGIA. HE DOES STILL SLIGHTLY LEAD IN NORTH CAROLINA. >> I MEAN, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT YOUR CHECKBOOK FOR A ONE DAY, LOOK AT THE PRICE OF GAS. >> THE TWO MAIN ONES FOR ME IS THE ECONOMY IN A BORDER. >> YOU DON'T KNOW HE'S COMING OVER, BUT IN ORDER TO WIN, HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PICK OFF AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE NORTHERN BATTLEGROUND STATES. IF YOU ADD TOGETHER WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, PLUS NEBRASKA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, PLUS ALL OF THE SAFE DEMOCRATIC SEATS, THAT'S EXACTLY 270 ELECTORAL VOTES. >> SO THERE IS A BLUE WALL THERE IN A SENSE THAT TRUMP IS GOING TO NEED TO PIERCE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHOULDN'T CONFUSE THE TERM BLUE WALL FOR ANY KIND OF SAFETY FOR DEMOCRATS. ALL THOSE ARE STILL VERY MUCH COMPETITIVE. POLLS ARE VERY MUCH WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR, PARTICULARLY, I WOULD POINT OUT, I THINK IS PROBABLY TRUMP'S BEST TARGET OF THOSE THREE ONE. >> SO WHEN SOMEONE IS ON FIVETHIRTYEIGHT OR ABCNEWS.COM, LIKE YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE MAP AND LIKE PLUG IN. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK? STATES ARE GOING TO GO RED AND BLUE AND YOU'VE GOT TO GET TO 270 IF YOU WANT TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY, RIGHT? THAT'S THE MAGIC NUMBER. A MONTH AGO, BIDEN'S THINKING WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE, I HAVE TO MAKE WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN AND PENNSYLVANIA ALL BLUE, AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN GET YOU THERE BY ITSELF. SO WHAT ARE THE PATHWAYS FOR HARRIS AND DO HER COMBINATIONS CHANGE NOW? >> YEAH. SO BASICALLY BIDEN WAS BARELY HANGING ON IN SOME OF THOSE NORTHERN BATTLEGROUND STATES LIKE MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, AND HE WAS COMFORTABLY DOWN IN THE POLLS IN THE STATES LIKE GEORGIA. AND THAT'S WHY YOU REALLY SAW THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN DOUBLING DOWN ON THOSE NORTHERN STATES BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY HAD TO DRAW A STRAIGHT FLUSH IN THOSE STATES AND WIN ALL OF THEM IN ORDER JUST KIND OF BARELY EKE OUT. AND EXACTLY 270 ELECTORAL VOTES, WHICH, OF COURSE, IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO WIN . HARRIS LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS MORE COMFORTABLE LEADS IN THOSE STATES AND COULD WIN THE BY THE SAME MAP THAT BIDEN WAS KIND OF BANKING ON WINNING. BUT SHE COULD ALSO PICK OFF A STATE LIKE GEORGIA OR ARIZONA ,WHERE SHE'S NOW LEADING IN THE POLLS WHERE BIDEN WASN'T. >> NEBRASKANS DON'T FEAR THE FUTURE. YOU MAKE THE FUTURE. >> AND WHAT'S FUNNY HERE, BRAD, IS THAT THERE IS A WORLD IN WHICH THIS WHOLE ELECTION COMES DOWN TO THE SINGLE SECTORAL VOTE IN NEBRASKA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. SO NEBRASKA, UNLIKE MOST STATES, SPLITS ITS ELECTORAL VOTES UP BY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. >> SO YOU GET TWO ELECTORAL VOTES FOR CARRYING A STATE AND THEN ONE ELECTORAL VOTE FOR EACH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT THAT YOU CARRY. AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WERE JOE BIDEN, YOU COULD HAVE WON PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. BUT IF HAD LOST IN OMAHA, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO 69 TO 69 TIE IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, WHICH MEANS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION THAT THE ELECTION GETS THROWN TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL A MAJORITY OF THE STATE DELEGATIONS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THAT'S UNLIKELY TO CHANGE AFTER THIS ELECTION. THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE MAJORITY OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, BECAUSE ACTUALLY THE WAY IT WORKS IS THAT EACH STATE DELEGATION GETS ONE VOTE, NOT EACH REPRESENTATIVE. IT'S CONFUSING. WE DON'T NEED TO GET INTO THAT. IT'S AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO NOW THAT HARRIS IS DOING BETTER. >> BUT YEAH, THAT REALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A CHAOS SCENARIO, WHICH IS WHY PERHAPS TIM WALZ, A NATIVE NEBRASKAN BEFORE HE WENT TO MINNESOTA, IS GOING TO BE CAMPAIGNING IN NEBRASKA, OF ALL PLACES, AND AGAIN SPEAKS TO THIS KIND OF RURAL STRATEGY THAT WE COULD BE SEEING RIGHT NOW FROM THE DEMOCRATS. ALL RIGHT, NATHANIEL RAKICH FROM OUR PARTNERS AT FIVETHIRTYEIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANKS, BRAD. >> ACT UP ON "START HERE". FORGET A TWO FRONT WAR. COULD ISRAEL BE INVITING A THIRD? WE'RE BACK IN A BIT. >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE, MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST. ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL OF TELEVISION THIS TUESDAY. >> THE VIEWS ON THE MOVE INTO A NEW BIG SEASON ON ABC.

NOW, FINALLY, KAMALA HARRIS, WE BELIEVE THAT THE PROMISE OF AMERICA, DONALD TRUMP, WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN, THANKS TO THIS HISTORIC THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH. LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS LIVE, HULU AND, DISNEY PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. YOU'RE WATCHING AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS MY REPORTING BREAKING NEW EXCLUSIVES KEEP STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVE A COUPLE DAYS AGO, THERE WAS A GLIMMER OF GOOD NEWS IN ISRAEL. >> THE IDF HAD JUST RESCUED A HOSTAGE BEING HELD IN GAZA. AND WHILE EVERY RESCUE SO FAR HAD BEEN ABOVEGROUND, THIS HOSTAGE HAD BEEN HELD IN HAMAS'S VAST TUNNEL NETWORK. WELL, THEN YESTERDAY MORNING, ISRAEL LAUNCHED A NEW SERIES OF RAIDS OVER IN THE WEST BANK. >> REMEMBER, IF YOU LOOKING AT A MAP, GAZA IS A TINY STRIP TO THE LEFT OF ISRAEL, GENERALLY CONTROLLED HAMAS. THE WEST BANK IS A MUCH BIGGER AREA ON THE RIGHT. AND WHILE IT'S MAINLY POPULATED BY PALESTINIANS AND ADMINISTERED BY THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY FOR YEARS, A LOT OF THIS LAND HAS ULTIMATELY BEEN CONTROLLED BY ISRAEL TROOPS. WELL, NOW SEVERAL PALESTINIANS ARE DEAD. ISRAEL IS BEING CRITICIZED FOR ITS LARGEST RAID IN YEARS. AND THIS REGION IS AS ON EDGE AS EVER. ABC'S FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT IS IN TEL AVIV RIGHT NOW. AND BRET, YOU'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE WEST BANK AS ALL THIS WAS KIND OF POPPING OFF RIGHT? WELL WHAT DID YOU SEE? >> WE WERE IN THAT ROOM OF BRAD NEAR IN THE WEST BANK. IT'S ONE OF THE VILLAGES WHERE THE IDF WAS CARRYING OUT THESE RAIDS. SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED THERE. WE SAW A MILITARY PRESENCE THERE. AND WE WITNESSED SOME HOSTILITIES, TOO, BETWEEN LOCALS AND THE IDF. THE LOCALS WERE THROWING ROCKS AT THE ARMORED VEHICLES AS THEY WERE PASSING THROUGH. >> WE SAW THE IDF SOLDIERS PATROLLING DOWN STREETS, POINTING THEIR GUNS AT STORE FRONTS. >> WE SPOKE TO A RESIDENT THERE WHO SAID THAT THEY HAD BEEN PATROLLING SINCE 4 A.M. AND THAT THEY WERE STILL PATROLLING AT THE TIME THAT WE SPOKE, WHICH WAS LATER IN THE DAY AS TO HOW BECAUSE THIS WAS AN OPERATION THAT WAS CARRIED OUT, WE JUST SAW A GLIMPSE INTO IT, BUT IT WAS CARRIED OUT ACROSS THE WEST BANK. AS YOU SAY, ONE OF THE BIGGEST RAIDS IN MANY YEARS, POSSIBLY SINCE THE SECOND INTIFADA, THE SECOND UPRISING IN 2002. SO IT WAS QUITE AN EXTRAORDINARY WINDOW INTO THE TENSIONS IN THE WEST BANK AND THE IDF OPERATIONS THERE. >> YEAH, I MEAN, WE SAY RAID. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? LIKE WHAT WAS THE ISRAELI MILITARY ACTUALLY THERE TO DO? LIKE, IS IT TO MAKE ARRESTS? IS IT TO GET INTEL? >> WHAT IS IT? YES, TO MAKE ARRESTS. HAMAS ARMED WING SAID SIX OF ITS FIGHTERS WERE KILLED. THE IDF CALLING THIS AN EXTENSIVE OPERATION TO THWART TERRORISTS INFRASTRUCTURES. ISRAEL'S FOREIGN MINISTER CALLED IT PART OF A FULL FLEDGED WAR. SO, YES, THE MAIN GOAL, THE IDF POINT OF VIEW, WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT QUASHED ANY TERRORIST CELLS INSIDE THE WEST BANK AND PREVENTED ANY TERRORIST ATTACKS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. >> THESE RAIDS ACTUALLY DO TAKE PLACE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. BUT THIS ONE, BRAD, IT FEELS DIFFERENT. WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO GO ON FOR. THIS IS JUST DAY ONE OF WHAT COULD BE QUITE A LENGTHY SERIES OF RAIDS. AND IT IS, AS THE IDF HAS BEEN SAYING, EXTENSIVE. >> SO, YES, THE WEST BANK ON MOST DAYS DOES FEEL QUITE EERIE. YOU DO FEEL THE TENSION THERE. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT . >> THIS IS ON A SCALE THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN FOR A VERY LONG TIME. >> WE'RE ALSO HERE ON THE SAME DAY. WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE U.S. IMPOSING SANCTIONS ON SOME ISRAELI GROUPS IN THE WEST BANK. SO YOU GOT THESE ISRAELI SETTLER GROUPS. THESE ARE OFTEN ISRAELI JEWS WHO THEN MOVE INTO WHAT IS PALESTINIANS VERY DISPUTED LAND. BUT THEY SAY, LIKE WE GOT THE BACKING OF OUR GOVERNMENT, WE'RE ALLOWED TO LIVE HERE. AND THEN SOME HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF SORT OF TAKING THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS AND MISTREATING PALESTINIANS THERE. >> WHAT IS THE U.S. DOING? YES. SO THE U.S. HAS ANNOUNCED NEW SANCTIONS. THAT'S AGAINST EXTREMISTS IN THE WEST BANK WHO WERE FUNDED BY THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT. >> SO AND THIS IS ALL PART OF WASHINGTON REALLY STEPPING UP ITS ATTEMPT TO REIN IN THIS INCREASING SETTLER VIOLENCE THAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING. >> IT IS CRITICAL THAT ISRAEL TAKE ADDITIONAL ACTION TO STOP SETTLER VIOLENCE AND HOLD ACCOUNTABLE THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. >> IT DREW A REALLY SHARP RESPONSE. THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, WHO SAID IT VIEWED THEM WITH UTMOST SEVERITY AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS UNDER POINTED DISCUSSION WITH THE STATES. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT IS PART OF A BIGGER PIECE OF THIS ENTIRE PUZZLE. VIOLENCE AGAINST PALESTINIANS ON BEHALF OF THE SETTLERS HAS BEEN INCREASING, ESPECIALLY AS WE SEE THE GAZA WAR GRIND ON. >> AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, IN THE BROADER PICTURE, BRAD, THERE ARE FEARS THAT A THIRD FRONT IS OPENING UP IN THE WEST BANK AND THAT THIS RAID IS GOING TO INTENSIFY AND KIND OF IGNITE MORE ANGER FROM PALESTINIANS IN THE WEST BANK. >> AND WHEN YOU SAY THIRD FRONT, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE WAR IN GAZA. WE TALKED ABOUT HEZBOLLAH UP IN THE NORTH, AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING THE WEST BANK IS EVEN SORT OF THAT'S WHERE SO MANY PALESTINIANS LIVE, THAT THAT ENDS UP BEING KIND OF A FLASHPOINT THROUGHOUT THE REGION? >> ABSOLUTELY. AND I THINK WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE WEST BANK IN THE LAST 24 HOURS AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN GAZA OVER MANY MONTHS NOW, THOSE PARALLELS ARE NOT LOST ON THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE BRAD . >> ALL RIGHT. BRITT CLENNETT THERE IN TEL AVIV. NOW, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH AS YOUR REPORTING ON ALL OF THIS. >> STAY SAFE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANKS, BRAD. OKAY, ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK, TALK ABOUT A HAT ON A HAT. ONE LAST THING AS NEXT. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR IN ROLLING FORK.

YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . >> AND ONE LAST THING. THERE'S NO IT FOOTBALL IS IN THE AIR TONIGHT. >> WE'VE GOT SEVERAL COLLEGE GAMES ON THE SCHEDULE. >> A WEEK FROM TODAY, THE NFL KICKS OFF AND YET YOUR FAVORITE NFL PLAYERS MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT COMING OUT OF THE TUNNEL THIS YEAR TO GUARDIAN CAPS. >> I GUESS IN SIMPLEST TERMS ARE EXTRA PADDING THAT GO ON THE EXTERIOR OF A HELMET. >> THIS IS KEVIN SIEFERT, WHO COVERS THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS FOR OUR PARTNERS AT ESPN, AND HE'S DESCRIBING GUARDIAN CAPS THESE EXTRA HEAD PROTECTIONS THAT CAN LITERALLY GO ON TOP OF HELMETS. >> HE STARTED BEING MANDATED BY THE LEAGUE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO DURING TRAINING CAMPS, FIRST FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS, THEN FOR VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM. WELL, THIS YEAR, PLAYERS HAVE THE OPTION TO WEAR THESE PROTECTIVE CAPS IN GAMES. >> AND THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR WHERE IF PLAYERS WANTED TO, THEY COULD WEAR THEM IN PRESEASON GAMES AND REGUL SEASON. AND WE SAW ABOUT PROBABLY A HANDFUL OF PLAYERS DO IT. >> IT'S EASY TO SEE WHY THE NFL WOULD WANT TO PRIORITIZE THESE. THE GROWING RECOGNITION OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES IN FOOTBALL AND DISORDERS LIKE CTE HAVE LED TO BROAD CONCERNS FROM PARENTS AND YOUNG WOULD BE FOOTBALL PLAYERS. >> SOME NFL STARS HAVE EVEN RETIRED FROM THE GAME EARLY, SAYING THEY'RE TROUBLED. THE GROWING BODY OF EVIDENCE. AND ACCORDING TO NFL RESEARCH, THIS EXTRA PADDING WORKS. >> SO WHY ISN'T EVERYONE USING IT WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? >> IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A CAR, TO BE HONEST WITH. THIS IS ESPN'S TURRON DAVENPORT, WHO WENT TO SEVERAL LOCKER ROOMS AS PART OF A DEEP DIVE ON THE RECEPTION THESE HELMET COVERINGS ARE RECEIVING. DARREN IS A FORMER COLLEGE WIDE RECEIVER AND HE'S DESCRIBING WHAT NFL HAS CALLED A 52% DECREASE IN CONCUSSIONS IN THE YEAR SINCE THEY STARTED USING THESE THINGS. AND YET WHEN I ASK HIM HOW MOST PLAYERS LIKE THEM HE SAYS THEY DON'T AND BY THE WAY YOU BALL RIGHT WOULD YOU AVOID THIS THING. >> NO I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE WORN IT NO WAY REALLY NOT A CHANCE NO GAME DAY. >> NO WAY, I WOULD HAVE WORN THAT. >> HE SAYS PLAYERS HAVE EXPRESSED SEVERAL CONCERNS TO HIM. ONE IS THESE THINGS FEEL KIND OF BIG AND BULKY AND IN A LEAGUE DEFINED FRACTIONS OF A SECOND. THERE'S THIS CONSTANT WORRY ABOUT GETTING BURNED BECAUSE YOU WERE OFF BALANCE. ANOTHER IS HEAT. IT WAS AIR HOLES. FOOTBALL HELMETS ARE NOW COVERED BY FABRIC, WHICH, BY THE WAY, CAN ALSO ABSORB HEAT FROM THE SUN THAN THIN PLASTIC. >> WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A REDUCTION, I BELIEVE IT WAS 20 DEGREES. IF YOU TAKE A HELMET, A REGULAR HELMET AND SIT ON A BENCH NEXT TO A HELMET WITH THE GUARDIAN CAPS ON IT, SOME PLAYERS FEEL THEY DON'T NEED THE GUARDIAN CAPS BECAUSE THE NFL ALSO JUST CREATED NEW HELMETS, CERTAIN POSITIONS. IF THE PLAYERS STARTED USING THOSE HELMETS AT TRAINING CAMP THIS YEAR, THEY WEREN'T EVEN REQUIRED TO WEAR THE EGG CARTONS. BUT HE SAYS, LET'S BE HONEST, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS FOR A LOT OF THESE PLAYERS IS THE LOOK. >> LET'S ASK RAVENS WIDE RECEIVER RASHOD BATEMAN. IT MESSES UP EVERYBODY'S SWAG ON THE FIELD. YOU KNOW, LIKE IS IS IS THE WORSE. AND I DON'T THINK THAT I HELP AS MUCH. SO I MEAN WE'RE NOT HITTING NOW HERE I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT REALLY IN THE GAME. >> MEANWHILE PLAYERS LIKE JONATHAN TAYLOR A RUNNING BACK FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS SAY DON'T CARE WHAT PLAYERS OR FANS THINK IF IT'S GOING TO PREVENT EVEN ONE CONCUSSION, THAT'S NOT JUST A HEALTHIER LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL. >> IT'S ALSO MORE GAMES ON THE FIELD AND MORE MONEY IN HIS POCKET. HONESTLY, GUYS, GUYS GET USED TO IT. YES, THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOTTEN. >> THE GUYS GET USED TO IT. BUT YOU WONDER IF THE NFL, WITH ITS VAST MARKETING APPARATUS IS LOOKING FOR MORE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING PADDING. AFTER ALL, IF THAT'S ALL IT TAKES TO KEEP YOUR PLAYERS HEALTHY, IT SEEMS LIKE A SMALL PRICE TO PAY. APPARENTLY THE UNINTENDED BENEFICIARIES OF THESE THINGS ARE QUARTERBACKS, WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE THE QUARTERBACKS HAVE TO WEAR THESE IN PRACTICE. SO WHY WOULD QUARTERBACKS LOVE THESE? WELL, SOMETIMES WHAT YOU'RE THROWING, YOU MIGHT SNACK A PLAYER'S HELMET. NOW YOUR HAND IS HITTING SOME LIKE PLUSH MEMORY FOAM. NOT AS MANY BROKEN FANS WHO DO MORE. AND ALL THESE STORIES ALL DAY JUST HIT UP ABC NEWS LIVE ON HULU OR WHEREVER YOU WATCH LIVE NEWS I'M BRAD MIELKE SEE TOMORROW I'M WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE SO MUCH ON THE LINE MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST.

PERRY. >> GOOD MORNING, RYAN, AND GOOD MORNING TO YOU. THAT CONTROVERSY OVER TRUMP'S VISIT TO ARLINGTON IS GROWING OVERNIGHT. IT COMES AS A NEW POLL SHOWS VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS HAS CAUGHT UP TO TRUMP IN SOME KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES. THIS MORNING, A NEW POLL FINDS VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS HAS CLOSED THE GAP, WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THE SUNBELT SWING STATES. THE POLL, CONDUCTED AFTER THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AND AFTER RFK JR. DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE, SHOWS TRUMP STILL LEADS HARRIS IN NORTH CAROLINA, BUT THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS JUMPED AHEAD IN ARIZONA, NEVADA AND GEORGIA. THE GAPS ARE WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR IN EACH STATE. WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER.

THE LEAVING OF AFGHANISTAN. >> THE VIDEO INCLUDES TRUMP CRITICIZING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S HANDLING OF THE WITHDRAWAL. SOME FAMILIES OF FALLEN SOLDIERS BURIED AT ARLINGTON SAY THEY ALLOW TRUMP TO PHOTOGRAPH THE EVENT, BUT FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OR ELECTION RELATED ACTIVITIES WITHIN ARMY NATIONAL MILITARY CEMETERIES. >> FAMILIES ARE NOT A MONOLITH WHEN IT COMES TO MILITARY FAMILIES. WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILIES CONNECTED TO ANY TRAGEDY. PEOPLE DON'T SEE THINGS THE SAME. THE BROADER ISSUE HERE IS THERE IS A FEDERAL LAW IN PLACE, AND SO FAR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS YET TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION OF ITS CLAIM THAT IT WAS PERMITTED TO DO THIS. >> NPR REPORTS TRUMP CAMPAIGN OFFICIALS WERE ASKED NOT TO TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS IN A SPECIFIC SECTION OF THE CEMETERY, WHICH ALLEGEDLY LED TO A VERBAL AND PHYSICAL ALTERCATION WITH A CEMETERY EMPLOYEE.

THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN CALLS THE INCIDENT PRETTY SAD. HARRIS HERSELF HAS NOT COMMENTED ON THE INCIDENT, BUT THAT DID NOT STOP J.D. VANCE FROM SAYING THIS. >> SHE WANTS TO YELL AT DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE HE SHOWED UP. SHE CAN SHE CAN GO TO HELL. >> AND TRUMP COULD TALK ABOUT THE CONTROVERSY TODAY AS HE HOLDS A TOWN HALL IN WISCONSIN. HARRIS AND WALZ CONTINUE THEIR BUS TOUR IN GEORGIA. RHIANNON. >> ALL RIGHT, PERRY, THANK YOU FOR THAT. SIX WEEKS AFTER THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, THE FBI SAYS THE MOTIVE STILL REMAINS UNCLEAR. AGENTS RELEASED NEW IMAGES OF THE SHOOTER'S WEAPON AND THE EXPLOSIVES THAT WERE IN HIS CAR. BUT THEY SAY THEY HAVE FOUND NO EVIDENCE THAT HE HELD ANY CONSISTENT POLITICAL BELIEFS. HE SEARCHED ONLINE ABOUT EVENTS FOR BOTH TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN. THEY SAY HE APPEARED DETERMINED TO ATTACK AN EVENT AND SAW TRUMP'S RALLY AS AN OPPORTUNITY. >> STORMS HAVE BEEN SLAMMING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE EAST COAST OVERNIGHT. THIS VIDEO SHOWS A HOUSE SLICED IN HALF BY A FALLEN TREE IN MICHIGAN. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE. THOSE STORMS THAT MOVED EAST ARE BREAKING THE HEAT TODAY, LEAVING MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES BEHIND. MEANWHILE, THIS FUNNEL CLOUD WAS SEEN IN SOUTH DAKOTA AS A TORNADO WARNING WAS ISSUED IN PARTS OF THE STATE YESTERDAY. THE STORM THREAT TODAY WILL BE FROM IOWA TO MICHIGAN, AND WE'LL CHECK YOUR FULL FORECAST IN A FEW MOMENTS. A UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT FROM CANCUN TO CHICAGO HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN MEMPHIS BECAUSE OF SEVERE TURBULENCE. AT LEAST SEVEN PEOPLE WERE INJURED.

AT LEAST NINE PEOPLE HAVE NOW DIED, WITH CASES REPORTED IN THESE 18 STATES. 57 PEOPLE HAVE NOW BEEN HOSPITALIZED, AND THE CDC WARNS CUSTOMERS MAY STILL HAVE THE TAINTED MEAT IN THEIR FRIDGE.

HIS FATHER DIED JULY 18TH. >> WE'RE ALL STILL IN SHOCK FOR ALL OF THE THINGS YOU KNOW THAT HE'S SEEN AND BEEN THROUGH IN HIS LIFE TO COME TO THAT. >> THE FAMILY NOW FILING A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT, THEIR LAWYER SAYING NO ONE SHOULD DIE FROM EATING A SANDWICH THROUGH THIS LAWSUIT AND OTHERS. WE WILL DETERMINE WHAT WENT WRONG AT BOAR'S HEAD. BOAR'S HEAD RELEASED A STATEMENT EARLIER THIS MONTH SAYING, WE ARE CONDUCTING A RIGOROUS INVESTIGATION TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT, AND THE COMPANY HAS SAID SAFETY IS THEIR ABSOLUTE PRIORITY. THAT FAMILY IS SUING FOR DAMAGES. AN INSPECTION REPORT THAT WAS FIRST OBTAINED BY CBS SAYS HEALTH OFFICIALS FOUND EVIDENCE OF BUGS, MILDEW, EVEN MOLD AT A BOAR'S HEAD FACTORY THAT WAS LINKED TO THAT OUTBREAK. BUT ABC NEWS HAS NOT INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRMED THAT. >> NEW DETAILS OVERNIGHT ABOUT A PROMINENT FORMER POLITICIAN CONVICTED OF MURDERING A REPORTER FOR WRITING UNFAVORABLE THINGS ABOUT HIM. THAT POLITICIAN HAS NOW LEARNED HIS FATE. THIS MORNING, FORMER NEVADA POLITICIAN ROBERT TELLIS HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON FOR FIRST DEGREE MURDER, CONVICTED OF FATALLY STABBING LAS VEGAS JOURNALIST JEFF GERMAN OUTSIDE GURMAN'S HOME. >> THE JURY UNANIMOUSLY FINDS THE MURDER WILLFUL, DELIBERATE AND PREMEDITATED BY MEANS OF LYING IN WAIT. >> PROSECUTORS ARGUED TELLIS KILLED GURMAN AFTER THE REPORTER WROTE A SERIES OF SCATHING ARTICLES DETAILING TOXIC WORKPLACE BEHAVIORS. WHILE TELLIS WAS THE CLARK COUNTY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR. SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS ALLEGEDLY SHOW TELLIS SUV CANVASING GEHRMANN'S NEIGHBORHOOD, AND TELLIS DRESSED IN THAT DISGUISE MOMENTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE MURDER. TELLIS SAYS HE WAS FRAMED AND DENIED INVOLVEMENT. >> I AM NOT CRAZY. I AM NOT TRYING TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY. >> BUT HE WAS PRESSED ABOUT DNA EVIDENCE LINKING HIM TO THE CRIME SCENE. >> HOW IN THE WORLD DOES YOUR DNA GET UNDERNEATH MR. GERMAN'S FINGERNAILS? >> I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I DID NOT KILL MR. GURMAN. >> THE JURY NOT BUYING IT. 47 YEAR OLD TELLIS WON'T BE ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE UNTIL HE SERVES AT LEAST 20 YEARS. >> WELL, THE CIA NOW SAYS IT HELPED DISRUPT THE TERROR PLOT AGAINST TAYLOR SWIFT'S CONCERTS IN VIENNA EARLIER THIS MONTH. THE AGENCY'S DEPUTY DIRECTOR SAYS CIA INTELLIGENCE WAS PASSED ALONG TO AUTHORITIES IN EUROPE, LEADING TO THE ARRESTS OF THREE SUSPECTS. HE SAYS SOME WERE FOUND WITH BOMB MAKING MATERIAL AND HAD ACCESS TO THE VENUE. THREE CONCERTS WERE CANCELED AFTER THE ARRESTS. THE CIA OFFICIAL SAYS THE PLOT WAS INTENDED TO KILL TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. AND PROSECUTORS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SAY THEY HAVE BUSTED A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL CRIME RING. THEY SAY THE OWNERS OF A CAR RENTAL COMPANY IN LA WERE BRINGING IN CRIMINALS FROM SOUTH AMERICA AND THEN PROVIDING THEM WITH CARS AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOMES AND BUSINESSES TO TARGET FOR BURGLARIES. THEY ALLEGEDLY HELPED CARRY OUT MORE THAN 120 THEFTS IN 80 CITIES. THE SIX SUSPECTS COULD FACE DECADES IN PRISON.

This Tuesday, the views on the move into a new big season on ABC and get this moving into a fabulous new studio to you never know what's going to happen here. BUCKLE YOUR SUN BELT. >> WE START HERE WITH SIZABLE POLLING SWINGS. KAMALA HARRIS IS POURING RESOURCES INTO STATES LIKE GEORGIA, STATES THAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE HAD AGREED WERE OUT OF JOE BIDEN'S REACH AFTER MONTHS OF SINGING THE BIDEN BLUES. COULD THE DEMOCRATIC MAP BE OPENING UP? ISRAEL LAUNCHES A NEW RAID AND NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT GAZA. >> THE WEST BANK HASN'T SEEN AN OPERATION LIKE THIS IN YEARS. WHY? IT COULD INFLAME THE ENTIRE REGION. AND IF THIS PADDING REALLY REDUCES CONCUSSIONS BY 50%, WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? >> IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE AN EGG CART, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. WHY NFL GAMES COULD LOOK DIFFERENT AS THE SEASON BEGINS . >> FROM ABC NEWS, THIS IS START HERE. I'M BRAD MIELKE AND OFTEN THE LAST MONTH OF AUGUST SEEN AS A KIND OF SLEEPY ONE IN POLITICS. BUT THIS WEEK YOU CAN FEEL THE INTENSITY LEVEL RISING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. >> WE'RE GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. TODAY, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS EVENTS SCHEDULED IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. J.D. VANCE IS STOPPING THIS WEEK IN PENNSYLVANIA. >> IT IS GREAT TO BE IN ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. AND FOR MUCH OF THE YEAR, IT HAS SEEMED CLEAR THAT THESE ARE THE STATES THIS ELECTION WILL HINGE ON. LIKE IF TRUMP CAN WIN ANY OF THOSE THREE STATES THAT MADE UP JOE BIDEN'S SO-CALLED BLUE WALL IN THE UPPER MIDWEST, TRUMP WINS. >> AND YET THIS WEEK. AND SO WE WANT TO COME BY TO REMIND YOU THAT OUR NATION IS COUNTING ON YOU. SO PROUD OF YOU, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND HER NEW RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ, ARE IN GEORGIA AND NOT ATLANTA, WHERE THEY TRADITIONALLY FOCUSED. WE'RE TALKING RURAL GEORGIA. NOT A TON OF VOTERS THERE. AND THEY'RE ON A BUS TRIP, WHICH TAKES VALUABLE TIME. SO THE QUESTION NOW IS, DO DEMOCRATS SEE A ROAD AROUND THAT BLUE WALL AFTER A STAR STUDDED NATIONAL CONVENTION, OR ARE THERE SUDDENLY POTENTIALLY OTHER PATHS TO VICTORY? LET'S CHECK IN WITH DANIEL RAKICH, SENIOR ELECTIONS ANALYST WITH OUR PARTNERS AT FIVETHIRTYEIGHT. NATHANIEL, THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN WAS IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA LAST NIGHT. >> THEY'RE OUTSIDE OF SAVANNAH TODAY. WHY? >> GUESS WHY? WHY ARE THEY ZERO GOING IN THERE? YEAH, WELL, HARRIS JUST DOING GENERALLY IN THE POLLS AND BIDEN HAS OPENED UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN SOME STATES THAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE HAD AGREED WERE BASICALLY OUT OF JOE BIDEN'S REACH. AND THAT IS BASICALLY THOSE SOUTHERN SWING STATES LIKE GEORGIA, LIKE NORTH CAROLINA, IN NEVADA, EVEN ARIZONA. >> SO I THINK IT MAKES SENSE THAT HARRIS IS TRYING TO WIN GEORGIA AND I DON'T HAVE TO TELL FOLKS IN ATLANTA, THAT GENERATION OF AMERICANS BEFORE HIM LED THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. >> THE POLLS IN GEORGIA, ACCORDING TO OUR POLLING AVERAGE, ARE BASICALLY TIED RIGHT NOW. >> AND BIDEN WAS SEVERAL POINTS BEHIND. SO THAT DOES GIVE HER SOME OPTIONS IF SHE WERE TO LOSE ONE OF THOSE NORTHERN SWING STATES LIKE WISCONSIN. >> WHY? WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS DIFFERENT NOW FOR THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN THAN IT WAS FOR IN SOME OF THESE STATES? >> I THINK BASICALLY WHAT'S DIFFERENT FOR HARRIS IS THAT SHE IS POLLING BETTER ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND KIND OF A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS. SO, YOU KNOW, IF, SAY, NATIONALLY, BIDEN WAS DOWN BY ABOUT THREE POINTS BEFORE HE DROPPED OUT AND HARRIS IS NOW UP BY ABOUT THREE POINTS NATIONALLY, THAT SIX POINT BOOST EVERYWHERE AS HAS BROUGHT HER INTO CONTENTION AGAIN IN STATES LIKE GEORGIA, WHERE BIDEN WAS SIGNIFICANTLY TRAILING. AND NOW SHE HAS A REAL SHOT AT WINNING A STATE THAT SOME DEMOCRATS HAD WRITTEN OFF IS PART OF IT. >> THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE STATES THEMSELVES. NATHANIEL LIKE, I'M JUST THINKING, IF WE'RE SEEING IN POLLS THESE BIG SWINGS, THESE BIG TURNAROUNDS WITH BLACK OR LATINO VOTERS OR YOUNG VOTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ,DOES THAT MEAN THAT LIKE A STATE LIKE GEORGIA OR A STATE LIKE ARIZONA HAS LIKE DIFFERENT POCKETS OF VOTERS THAT NOW ALL SWING TOWARDS? HARRIS RIGHT. SO OBVIOUSLY, THE REASON THAT STATES LIKE GEORGIA AND ARIZONA HAVE BECOME COMPETITIVE IN RECENT YEARS AND 2020, FOR EXAMPLE, IS THEY HAVE LARGE POPULATIONS OF BLACK VOTERS AND LATINO VOTERS AS WELL AS A LOT OF COLLEGE EDUCATED WHITE VOTERS IN KIND OF THOSE SUBURBS AROUND ATLANTA AND PHOENIX. >> WE ARE ALL COMING TOGETHER. WE'RE SEEING DIFFERENT COALITIONS FOR BLACK WOMEN, WHITE WOMEN, WHAT IS GOING TO STAND UP FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. SHE ALREADY HAS STOOD UP FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT HARRIS HAS INCREASED HER VOTE SHARE AMONG THOSE VOTERS IN PARTICULAR, AT LEAST RELATIVE TO OTHER PEOPLE. WE SEE IN THE POLLS THAT SHE'S DOING BETTER WITH BLACK VOTERS. SHE'S ALSO DOING BETTER WITH NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED WHITE VOTERS, THE SO-CALLED WHITE WORKING CLASS THAT DOMINATE STATES LIKE WISCONSIN. >> NOT ONLY DOES THE VICE PRESIDENT UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE DIGNITY OF WORK AND HOW WORKERS ARE TAXED, BUT ALSO TO LIFT UP THE WAGES OF WORKERS AND AS A RESULT, SHE HAS IMPROVED UPON BIDEN'S STANDING IN STATES LIKE WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN AND PENNSYLVANIA BY JUST AS MUCH AS SHE HAS IN GEORGIA AND NEVADA AND ARIZONA. >> BECAUSE THEN I WAS GOING TO SAY, DOES THE TRUMP VANCE TICKET, DO THEY SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT IN SOME OF THESE UPPER MIDWEST STATES THAT HAVE, LIKE YOU SAID, WHITER AND PERHAPS OLDER POPULATIONS? BY YOUR LOGIC AND THERE'S NOT LIKE A HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR THEM NOW EITHER, LIKE THE RACE JUST ALL SORT OF TILTS GENERALLY A LITTLE BIT TOWARDS HARRIS. NOT OVERWHELMINGLY, A LITTLE BIT. AND THERE'S NO THERE'S NO. IS THERE ANY SILVER LINING FOR TRUMP? I SUPPOSE. >> I MEAN, YEAH, NOT REALLY. YOU KNOW, I DO THINK THE DEVELOPMENTS, OBVIOUSLY, THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD FOR, HIM AND HE THE POLLS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE FOR HIM ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT SAID, HIS BEST OPPORTUNITIES AT WINNING DO SEEM LIKE THEY'RE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN OUR POLLING AVERAGES, HE DOES STILL SLIGHTLY LEAD IN GEORGIA. HE DOES STILL SLIGHTLY LEAD IN NORTH CAROLINA. >> I MEAN, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT YOUR CHECKBOOK FOR A ONE DAY, LOOK AT THE PRICE OF GAS. >> THE TWO MAIN ONES FOR ME IS THE ECONOMY IN A BORDER. >> YOU DON'T KNOW HE'S COMING OVER, BUT IN ORDER TO WIN, HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PICK OFF AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE NORTHERN BATTLEGROUND STATES. IF YOU ADD TOGETHER WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, PLUS NEBRASKA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, PLUS ALL OF THE SAFE DEMOCRATIC SEATS, THAT'S EXACTLY 270 ELECTORAL VOTES. >> SO THERE IS A BLUE WALL THERE IN A SENSE THAT TRUMP IS GOING TO NEED TO PIERCE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHOULDN'T CONFUSE THE TERM BLUE WALL FOR ANY KIND OF SAFETY FOR DEMOCRATS. ALL THOSE ARE STILL VERY MUCH COMPETITIVE. POLLS ARE VERY MUCH WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR, PARTICULARLY, I WOULD POINT OUT, I THINK IS PROBABLY TRUMP'S BEST TARGET OF THOSE THREE ONE. >> SO WHEN SOMEONE IS ON FIVETHIRTYEIGHT OR ABCNEWS.COM, LIKE YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE MAP AND LIKE PLUG IN. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK? STATES ARE GOING TO GO RED AND BLUE AND YOU'VE GOT TO GET TO 270 IF YOU WANT TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY, RIGHT? THAT'S THE MAGIC NUMBER. A MONTH AGO, BIDEN'S THINKING WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE, I HAVE TO MAKE WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN AND PENNSYLVANIA ALL BLUE, AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN GET YOU THERE BY ITSELF. SO WHAT ARE THE PATHWAYS FOR HARRIS AND DO HER COMBINATIONS CHANGE NOW? >> YEAH. SO BASICALLY BIDEN WAS BARELY HANGING ON IN SOME OF THOSE NORTHERN BATTLEGROUND STATES LIKE MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, AND HE WAS COMFORTABLY DOWN IN THE POLLS IN THE STATES LIKE GEORGIA. AND THAT'S WHY YOU REALLY SAW THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN DOUBLING DOWN ON THOSE NORTHERN STATES BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY HAD TO DRAW A STRAIGHT FLUSH IN THOSE STATES AND WIN ALL OF THEM IN ORDER JUST KIND OF BARELY EKE OUT. AND EXACTLY 270 ELECTORAL VOTES, WHICH, OF COURSE, IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO WIN . HARRIS LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS MORE COMFORTABLE LEADS IN THOSE STATES AND COULD WIN THE BY THE SAME MAP THAT BIDEN WAS KIND OF BANKING ON WINNING. BUT SHE COULD ALSO PICK OFF A STATE LIKE GEORGIA OR ARIZONA ,WHERE SHE'S NOW LEADING IN THE POLLS WHERE BIDEN WASN'T. >> NEBRASKANS DON'T FEAR THE FUTURE. YOU MAKE THE FUTURE. >> AND WHAT'S FUNNY HERE, BRAD, IS THAT THERE IS A WORLD IN WHICH THIS WHOLE ELECTION COMES DOWN TO THE SINGLE SECTORAL VOTE IN NEBRASKA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. SO NEBRASKA, UNLIKE MOST STATES, SPLITS ITS ELECTORAL VOTES UP BY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. >> SO YOU GET TWO ELECTORAL VOTES FOR CARRYING A STATE AND THEN ONE ELECTORAL VOTE FOR EACH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT THAT YOU CARRY. AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WERE JOE BIDEN, YOU COULD HAVE WON PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. BUT IF HAD LOST IN OMAHA, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO 69 TO 69 TIE IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, WHICH MEANS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION THAT THE ELECTION GETS THROWN TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL A MAJORITY OF THE STATE DELEGATIONS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THAT'S UNLIKELY TO CHANGE AFTER THIS ELECTION. THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE MAJORITY OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, BECAUSE ACTUALLY THE WAY IT WORKS IS THAT EACH STATE DELEGATION GETS ONE VOTE, NOT EACH REPRESENTATIVE. IT'S CONFUSING. WE DON'T NEED TO GET INTO THAT. IT'S AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO NOW THAT HARRIS IS DOING BETTER. >> BUT YEAH, THAT REALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A CHAOS SCENARIO, WHICH IS WHY PERHAPS TIM WALZ, A NATIVE NEBRASKAN BEFORE HE WENT TO MINNESOTA, IS GOING TO BE CAMPAIGNING IN NEBRASKA, OF ALL PLACES, AND AGAIN SPEAKS TO THIS KIND OF RURAL STRATEGY THAT WE COULD BE SEEING RIGHT NOW FROM THE DEMOCRATS. ALL RIGHT, NATHANIEL RAKICH FROM OUR PARTNERS AT FIVETHIRTYEIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANKS, BRAD. >> ACT UP ON "START HERE". FORGET A TWO FRONT WAR. COULD ISRAEL BE INVITING A THIRD?

WE SAW A MILITARY PRESENCE THERE. AND WE WITNESSED SOME HOSTILITIES, TOO, BETWEEN LOCALS AND THE IDF. THE LOCALS WERE THROWING ROCKS AT THE ARMORED VEHICLES AS THEY WERE PASSING THROUGH. >> WE SAW THE IDF SOLDIERS PATROLLING DOWN STREETS, POINTING THEIR GUNS AT STORE FRONTS. >> WE SPOKE TO A RESIDENT THERE WHO SAID THAT THEY HAD BEEN PATROLLING SINCE 4 A.M. AND THAT THEY WERE STILL PATROLLING AT THE TIME THAT WE SPOKE, WHICH WAS LATER IN THE DAY AS TO HOW BECAUSE THIS WAS AN OPERATION THAT WAS CARRIED OUT, WE JUST SAW A GLIMPSE INTO IT, BUT IT WAS CARRIED OUT ACROSS THE WEST BANK. AS YOU SAY, ONE OF THE BIGGEST RAIDS IN MANY YEARS, POSSIBLY SINCE THE SECOND INTIFADA, THE SECOND UPRISING IN 2002. SO IT WAS QUITE AN EXTRAORDINARY WINDOW INTO THE TENSIONS IN THE WEST BANK AND THE IDF OPERATIONS THERE. >> YEAH, I MEAN, WE SAY RAID. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? LIKE WHAT WAS THE ISRAELI MILITARY ACTUALLY THERE TO DO? LIKE, IS IT TO MAKE ARRESTS? IS IT TO GET INTEL? >> WHAT IS IT? YES, TO MAKE ARRESTS. HAMAS ARMED WING SAID SIX OF ITS FIGHTERS WERE KILLED. THE IDF CALLING THIS AN EXTENSIVE OPERATION TO THWART TERRORISTS INFRASTRUCTURES. ISRAEL'S FOREIGN MINISTER CALLED IT PART OF A FULL FLEDGED WAR. SO, YES, THE MAIN GOAL, THE IDF POINT OF VIEW, WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT QUASHED ANY TERRORIST CELLS INSIDE THE WEST BANK AND PREVENTED ANY TERRORIST ATTACKS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. >> THESE RAIDS ACTUALLY DO TAKE PLACE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. BUT THIS ONE, BRAD, IT FEELS DIFFERENT. WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO GO ON FOR. THIS IS JUST DAY ONE OF WHAT COULD BE QUITE A LENGTHY SERIES OF RAIDS. AND IT IS, AS THE IDF HAS BEEN SAYING, EXTENSIVE. >> SO, YES, THE WEST BANK ON MOST DAYS DOES FEEL QUITE EERIE. YOU DO FEEL THE TENSION THERE. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT . >> THIS IS ON A SCALE THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN FOR A VERY LONG TIME. >> WE'RE ALSO HERE ON THE SAME DAY. WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE U.S. IMPOSING SANCTIONS ON SOME ISRAELI GROUPS IN THE WEST BANK. SO YOU GOT THESE ISRAELI SETTLER GROUPS. THESE ARE OFTEN ISRAELI JEWS WHO THEN MOVE INTO WHAT IS PALESTINIANS VERY DISPUTED LAND. BUT THEY SAY, LIKE WE GOT THE BACKING OF OUR GOVERNMENT, WE'RE ALLOWED TO LIVE HERE. AND THEN SOME HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF SORT OF TAKING THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS AND MISTREATING PALESTINIANS THERE. >> WHAT IS THE U.S. DOING? YES. SO THE U.S. HAS ANNOUNCED NEW SANCTIONS. THAT'S AGAINST EXTREMISTS IN THE WEST BANK WHO WERE FUNDED BY THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT. >> SO AND THIS IS ALL PART OF WASHINGTON REALLY STEPPING UP ITS ATTEMPT TO REIN IN THIS INCREASING SETTLER VIOLENCE THAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING. >> IT IS CRITICAL THAT ISRAEL TAKE ADDITIONAL ACTION TO STOP SETTLER VIOLENCE AND HOLD ACCOUNTABLE THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. >> IT DREW A REALLY SHARP RESPONSE. THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, WHO SAID IT VIEWED THEM WITH UTMOST SEVERITY AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS UNDER POINTED DISCUSSION WITH THE STATES. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT IS PART OF A BIGGER PIECE OF THIS ENTIRE PUZZLE. VIOLENCE AGAINST PALESTINIANS ON BEHALF OF THE SETTLERS HAS BEEN INCREASING, ESPECIALLY AS WE SEE THE GAZA WAR GRIND ON. >> AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, IN THE BROADER PICTURE, BRAD, THERE ARE FEARS THAT A THIRD FRONT IS OPENING UP IN THE WEST BANK AND THAT THIS RAID IS GOING TO INTENSIFY AND KIND OF IGNITE MORE ANGER FROM PALESTINIANS IN THE WEST BANK. >> AND WHEN YOU SAY THIRD FRONT, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE WAR IN GAZA. WE TALKED ABOUT HEZBOLLAH UP IN THE NORTH, AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING THE WEST BANK IS EVEN SORT OF THAT'S WHERE SO MANY PALESTINIANS LIVE, THAT THAT ENDS UP BEING KIND OF A FLASHPOINT THROUGHOUT THE REGION? >> ABSOLUTELY. AND I THINK WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE WEST BANK IN THE LAST 24 HOURS AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN GAZA OVER MANY MONTHS NOW, THOSE PARALLELS ARE NOT LOST ON THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE BRAD . >> ALL RIGHT. BRITT CLENNETT THERE IN TEL AVIV. NOW, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH AS YOUR REPORTING ON ALL OF THIS. >> STAY SAFE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANKS, BRAD. OKAY, ONE MORE QUICK BREAK.

YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . >> AND ONE LAST THING. THERE'S NO IT FOOTBALL IS IN THE AIR TONIGHT. >> WE'VE GOT SEVERAL COLLEGE GAMES ON THE SCHEDULE. >> A WEEK FROM TODAY, THE NFL KICKS OFF AND YET YOUR FAVORITE NFL PLAYERS MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT COMING OUT OF THE TUNNEL THIS YEAR TO GUARDIAN CAPS. >> I GUESS IN SIMPLEST TERMS ARE EXTRA PADDING THAT GO ON THE EXTERIOR OF A HELMET. >> THIS IS KEVIN SIEFERT, WHO COVERS THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS FOR OUR PARTNERS AT ESPN, AND HE'S DESCRIBING GUARDIAN CAPS THESE EXTRA HEAD PROTECTIONS THAT CAN LITERALLY GO ON TOP OF HELMETS. >> HE STARTED BEING MANDATED BY THE LEAGUE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO DURING TRAINING CAMPS, FIRST FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS, THEN FOR VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM. WELL, THIS YEAR, PLAYERS HAVE THE OPTION TO WEAR THESE PROTECTIVE CAPS IN GAMES. >> AND THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR WHERE IF PLAYERS WANTED TO, THEY COULD WEAR THEM IN PRESEASON GAMES AND REGULAR SEASON. AND WE SAW ABOUT PROBABLY A HANDFUL OF PLAYERS DO IT. >> IT'S EASY TO SEE WHY THE NFL WOULD WANT TO PRIORITIZE THESE. THE GROWING RECOGNITION OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES IN FOOTBALL AND DISORDERS LIKE CTE HAVE LED TO BROAD CONCERNS FROM PARENTS AND YOUNG WOULD BE FOOTBALL PLAYERS. >> SOME NFL STARS HAVE EVEN RETIRED FROM THE GAME EARLY, SAYING THEY'RE TROUBLED. THE GROWING BODY OF EVIDENCE. AND ACCORDING TO NFL RESEARCH, THIS EXTRA PADDING WORKS. >> SO WHY ISN'T EVERYONE USING IT WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? >> IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A CAR, TO BE HONEST WITH. THIS IS ESPN'S TURRON DAVENPORT, WHO WENT TO SEVERAL LOCKER ROOMS AS PART OF A DEEP DIVE ON THE RECEPTION THESE HELMET COVERINGS ARE RECEIVING. DARREN IS A FORMER COLLEGE WIDE RECEIVER AND HE'S DESCRIBING WHAT NFL HAS CALLED A 52% DECREASE IN CONCUSSIONS IN THE YEAR SINCE THEY STARTED USING THESE THINGS. AND YET WHEN I ASK HIM HOW MOST PLAYERS LIKE THEM HE SAYS THEY DON'T AND BY THE WAY YOU BALL RIGHT WOULD YOU AVOID THIS THING. >> NO I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE WORN IT NO WAY REALLY NOT A CHANCE NO GAME DAY. >> NO WAY, I WOULD HAVE WORN THAT. >> HE SAYS PLAYERS HAVE EXPRESSED SEVERAL CONCERNS TO HIM. ONE IS THESE THINGS FEEL KIND OF BIG AND BULKY AND IN A LEAGUE DEFINED FRACTIONS OF A SECOND. THERE'S THIS CONSTANT WORRY ABOUT GETTING BURNED BECAUSE YOU WERE OFF BALANCE. ANOTHER IS HEAT. IT WAS AIR HOLES. FOOTBALL HELMETS ARE NOW COVERED BY FABRIC, WHICH, BY THE WAY, CAN ALSO ABSORB HEAT FROM THE SUN THAN THIN PLASTIC. >> WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A REDUCTION, I BELIEVE IT WAS 20 DEGREES. IF YOU TAKE A HELMET, A REGULAR HELMET AND SIT ON A BENCH NEXT TO A HELMET WITH THE GUARDIAN CAPS ON IT, SOME PLAYERS FEEL THEY DON'T NEED THE GUARDIAN CAPS BECAUSE THE NFL ALSO JUST CREATED NEW HELMETS, CERTAIN POSITIONS. IF THE PLAYERS STARTED USING THOSE HELMETS AT TRAINING CAMP THIS YEAR, THEY WEREN'T EVEN REQUIRED TO WEAR THE EGG CARTONS. BUT HE SAYS, LET'S BE HONEST, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS FOR A LOT OF THESE PLAYERS IS THE LOOK. >> LET'S ASK RAVENS WIDE RECEIVER RASHOD BATEMAN. IT MESSES UP EVERYBODY'S SWAG ON THE FIELD. YOU KNOW, LIKE IS IS IS THE WORSE. AND I DON'T THINK THAT I HELP AS MUCH. SO I MEAN WE'RE NOT HITTING NOW HERE I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT REALLY IN THE GAME. >> MEANWHILE PLAYERS LIKE JONATHAN TAYLOR A RUNNING BACK FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS SAY DON'T CARE WHAT PLAYERS OR FANS THINK IF IT'S GOING TO PREVENT EVEN ONE CONCUSSION, THAT'S NOT JUST A HEALTHIER LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL. >> IT'S ALSO MORE GAMES ON THE FIELD AND MORE MONEY IN HIS POCKET. HONESTLY, GUYS, GUYS GET USED TO IT. YES, THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOTTEN. >> THE GUYS GET USED TO IT. BUT YOU WONDER IF THE NFL, WITH ITS VAST MARKETING APPARATUS IS LOOKING FOR MORE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING PADDING. AFTER ALL, IF THAT'S ALL IT TAKES TO KEEP YOUR PLAYERS HEALTHY, IT SEEMS LIKE A SMALL PRICE TO PAY. APPARENTLY THE UNINTENDED BENEFICIARIES OF THESE THINGS ARE QUARTERBACKS, WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE THE QUARTERBACKS HAVE TO WEAR THESE IN PRACTICE. SO WHY WOULD QUARTERBACKS LOVE THESE? WELL, SOMETIMES WHAT YOU'RE THROWING, YOU MIGHT SNACK A PLAYER'S HELMET. NOW YOUR HAND IS HITTING SOME LIKE PLUSH MEMORY FOAM. NOT AS MANY BROKEN FANS WHO DO MORE.

FIRST, THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE TARGETING THEIR MUST WIN STATES IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS WEIGHING IN ON THE RUST BELT AS VICE PRESIDENT. HARRIS FOCUSES ON GEORGIA. BUT A NEW POLL SAYS ABOUT THEIR STANDING WITH THE FIRST DEBATE JUST 12 DAYS AWAY, THE NEW DETAILS IN THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. WHAT AGENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SUSPECT'S MINDSET AND WHY HE ZEROED IN ON THAT RALLY. >> A HIGH STAKES HEARING FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER SUSPECT BY BRIAN COBOURG. HIS LEGAL TEAM IS ARGUING TO MOVE HIS TRIAL TO ANOTHER COUNTY. AND THE TSA IS BRACING FOR THE HOLIDAY WE CAN TRAVEL CRASH WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT THE COUNTRY'S BUSIEST AIRPORTS, THE BEST AND WORST TIMES TO TRAVEL. >> HI, I'M DIANE MACEDO. WELCOME TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST WE BEGIN WITH A LOOK AT THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. >> PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IS HITTING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AS FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ALSO HITS THE BATTLEGROUND STATES. >> WE HAVE THE LATEST ON THAT. KAMALA HARRIS IS GAINING GROUND IN THE CRITICAL SUNBELT STATES. HARRIS AND RUNNING MATE TIM WALZ BOARDING THEIR CAMPAIGN BUS IN GEORGIA, A STATE WHERE DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN LEADING. >> BUT THIS MORNING, A NEW FOX NEWS POLL SHOWS HARRIS NOW UP BY TWO POINTS. THAT POLL ALSO SUGGESTING SHE'S CLOSING THE GAP IN ARIZONA, NEVADA AND NORTH CAROLINA. IN BATTLEGROUND GEORGIA, A STATE PRESIDENT BIDEN WON NARROWLY IN 2020. HARRIS AND WALZ REACHING OUT TO RURAL VOTERS HOPING FOR A REPEAT VICTORY IN HINESVILLE. >> GREETED BY THE LIBERTY COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND. >> MY PREVIOUS JOB TO THIS WAS, OF COURSE, PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER AND COACH, WHICH I WEAR WITH BRIAN WALLS LEANING INTO HIS OWN RURAL ROOTS IN MINNESOTA. HIS EXPERIENCE AS A SOCIAL TEACHER AND FORMER HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACH NOW CENTRAL TO THEIR CAMPAIGN MESSAGE. >> THE TICKET THEN STOPPING FOR BARBECUE IN SAVANNAH, SHAKING HANDS AND SNAPPING SELFIES. >> HARRIS WELL AWARE SHE CAN'T JUST RELY ON THOSE URBAN CENTERS LIKE ATLANTA IN A RACE EXPECTED TO BE SO CLOSE. TRUMP ALSO HITTING KEY STATES, TARGETING THE RUST BELT TODAY IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN BEFORE HEADING TO A MUST WIN PENNSYLVANIA. ABC NEWS CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. MARY, THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN IS TALKING TO VOTERS IN MORE RURAL AREAS OF GEORGIA. WHAT'S THE STRATEGY THERE AND HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY PRESIDENT BIDEN CAMPAIGN THERE FOUR YEARS AGO? WELL, LOOK, DIANE, THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN CERTAINLY SEES A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY HERE IN GEORGIA. THEY ARE HOPING TO EXPAND THE MAP TO PUT THIS STATE FIRMLY BACK IN PLAY. WE'VE SEEN THOSE POLL NUMBERS THAT SHOW THAT SHE IS GAINING GROUND HERE JUST IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. AND SHE HAS BEEN IN THIS RACE AND SHE IS WELL AWARE THAT SHE CAN'T JUST RELY ON THOSE URBAN CENTERS LIKE ATLANTA, THAT SHE HAS TO GET OUT AND REACH THOSE WORKING CLASS RURAL VOTERS AS WELL. AND THAT'S WHY YOU ARE SEEING THIS BUS TOUR SNAKE THROUGH THESE SECTIONS OF THIS BATTLEGROUND STATE. IT IS ALSO A STRATEGY. IT'S REALLY A PAGE OUT OF THE PLAYBOOK OF OF SENATOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK. AND HE EMPLOYED THE SAME STRATEGY TO WIN HIS MOST RECENT RACE. OF COURSE, IT IS NOTABLE THAT THE DEPUTY CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR HARRIS ALSO WORKED ON THAT WARNOCK CAMPAIGN. SO THEY ARE HOPING TO REPEAT THAT VICTORY BY BROADENING OUT WHO THEY ARE REACHING, HOPING THAT THEY CAN ONCE AGAIN, WHEN IN NOVEMBER. NOW, TRUMP IS FACING CRITICISM OVER RECENT VISIT TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. HIS ACCUSED OF RECORDING VIDEO IN A PROHIBITED AREA. WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT? WELL, HERE'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. THE FORMER PRESIDENT WAS VISITING HOPING THAT HE COULD VISIT SOME OF GRAVES OF THOSE 13 SERVICE MEMBERS WHO WERE KILLED IN THAT ATTACK. AND ABIGAIL. IN AFGHANISTAN, HE'S TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT THE THAT HARRIS PLAYED THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION, THEIR HANDLING OF THAT CHAOTIC TROOP WITHDRAWAL. AND HE WAS FILMING FOOTAGE ALSO IN A OF THE CEMETERY WHERE IT IS PROHIBITED. IT'S ACTUALLY ILLEGAL FOR THIS EXACT REASON THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO POLITICIZE THE MILITARY IN ANY WAY. BUT YET THIS FOOTAGE HAS BEEN SHARED NOW BY THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ON THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA. AND WE ARE HEARING FROM SOME GOLD STAR FAMILIES. SOME SAY THEY GIVE TRUMP PERMISSION. YOU KNOW, WE HEARD FROM ONE FAMILY OF THE FALLEN SAYING THEY DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD BE RESTRICTED IN HOW THEY HONOR VETERANS. BUT OVERNIGHT, WE HEARD ANOTHER GOLD STAR FAMILY, THE SISTER OF A SERGEANT WAS KILLED BY WHO DIED BY SUICIDE IN 2020 AFTER EIGHT COMBAT TOURS. HIS GRAVE ALSO SHOWN IN THAT VIDEO. AND SHE SAID, QUOTE, WE HOPE THAT THOSE VISITING THE SACRED SITE UNDERSTAND THAT THESE REAL PEOPLE WHO SACRIFICED FOR OUR FREEDOM AND THAT THEY WERE HONORED AND RESPECTED ACCORDINGLY. NOW, THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN HAS SEIZED ON THIS. THEY ARE ARGUING THAT THIS IS SORT OF TYPICAL BEHAVIOR FOR TRUMP. THEY SAY IT SHOWS THE TRUMPS ONLY OUT FOR HIMSELF. J.D. VANCE RESPONDING TO THAT CRITICISM, USING SOME PRETTY SHARP, SHARP LANGUAGE, SAYING THAT KAMALA HARRIS, OF COURSE THE SITTING VICE PRESIDENT CAN, QUOTE, GO TO, DIANE. RIGHT. >> ABC NEWS CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE. THANKS, MARY. AND SEPTEMBER 10TH, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE ON ABC NEWS AGAIN THAT SEPTEMBER 10TH, 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT HERE ON ABC LIVE. >> AND NEW NUMBERS ARE OUT FROM THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT THIS MORNING SHOWING THE U.S. ECONOMY GREW LAST QUARTER AT A HEALTHY 3% ANNUAL PACE. ABC NEWS CHIEF BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT REBECCA JARVIS IS HERE TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR US. REBECCA, THIS IS A BIG ONE, SO WHAT DO THESE NUMBERS SAY ABOUT THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND WHERE WE MIGHT BE HEADING? WELL, THEY THEY REALLY ARE CONFIRMATION, DIANE, OF MUCH OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL ECONOMY AND THE JOBS MARKET, WHICH IS TO SAY THAT THINGS ARE IN DECENT SHAPE WHEN YOU LOOK AT JOBS, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ECONOMIC GROWTH, WE CONTINUE TO GROW. AND WHERE IT'S NOTABLE IS THAT CONTINUE TO SPEND. CONSUMER SPENDING WAS A BIG REASON BEHIND THAT 3% GROWTH IN THE SECOND QUARTER. OF COURSE, THE REPORT THERE'S THERE'S THREE OF THEM, THREE DIFFERENT ESTIMATES THAT ARE RELEASED. THIS IS THE SECOND. THE THIRD WILL BE THE FINAL ESTIMATE BACK AT THAT SECOND QUARTER, YEAR OVER YEAR GROWTH . BUT ULTIMATELY, IT'S A REPEAT OF MANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS ECONOMY. OF COURSE, INFLATION IS OTHER PART OF THIS STORY, WHICH IS THE THING THAT CONTINUES TO WEAR ON AMERICAN BUDGETS, NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE PRICES ARE RISING ANYMORE IN MOST CATEGORIES. IT'S JUST THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHERE PRICES WERE THREE YEARS AGO VERSUS TODAY IS VERY SIGNIFICANT AND STILL WEIGHING ON FAMILY BUDGETS, EVEN THOUGH WAGES ALSO BEGUN TO CLIMB OVER THAT SAME PERIOD NOW AND THAT AN EXCUSE ME REBECCA APPLICATIONS FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ALSO FELL MODESTLY LAST WEEK AMID HIGH RATES. ARE THERE DECISIONS PEOPLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERING RIGHT NOW ABOUT THEIR OWN PERSONAL FINANCES? BASED ON WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THESE NUMBERS? WELL, I WOULD SAY, FIRST OF ALL, I'M A JOURNALIST. I'M NOT A FINANCIAL, SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. BUT I HISTORY IS IMPORTANT HERE. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN, WHERE WE'RE HEADING, THE FEDERAL RESERVE HAS SIGNALED THAT IT'S VERY LIKELY GOING DECREASE, CUT INTEREST RATES IN SEPTEMBER. SO A MONTH AWAY, WE'VE STARTED TO SEE MORTGAGE RATES DIPPING AND TRENDING LOWER, EVEN THOUGH THEIR 30 YEAR FIXED RATE MORTGAGE NOW IS IN THE 6% RANGE. WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR THAT TO 3% 30 YEAR FIXED RATE MORTGAGE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET HANDS ON A FEW YEARS BACK WITH GREAT CREDIT. IT'S CERTAINLY IF YOU'VE BEEN SITTING ON THE SIDELINES WONDERING WHEN RATES ARE GOING TO FALL SO THAT YOU CAN GO OUT AND LOOK TO PURCHASE A HOME. IT IS SOMETHING TO IN MIND TO BE READY IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR THAT. BUT TO STAY WITHIN YOUR BUDGET. SECONDARILY, WHEN RATES FALL, YOU ALSO SEE THINGS LIKE AUTO LOANS GETTING LESS EXPENSIVE, SO AUTOS MAY BE MORE AFFORDABLE FOR SOME. WE'VE ALSO SEEN PRICES WHICH REALLY WERE SUPERCHARGED DURING PANDEMIC AND BEYOND. >> WE WERE STARTING TO SEE THOSE FALL LITTLE BIT. AND THEN FINALLY, CREDIT CARD DEBT, SOMETHING THAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOCUSED ON. INTEREST RATES ARE HIGH RIGHT NOW. THAT MEANS YOUR CREDIT CARD DEBT IS MORE EXPENSIVE. IT IS THE HARDEST TO GET RID OF BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE APP FOR THE MOST. SO YOU REALLY WANT TO TARGET THAT IF YOU'RE HOLDING. FOR EXAMPLE, DIANE STUDENT LOAN DEBT, MORTGAGE AND CREDIT CARD DEBT, FOCUS REALLY ON THAT CREDIT CARD DEBT AND PAYING THAT OFF BECAUSE IT WILL COST YOU THE MOST OVER TIME WHILE MAKING MINIMUM PAYMENTS, THOSE OTHER AREAS, IF YOU CAN. >> ALL RIGHT, ABC NEWS CHIEF BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT REBECCA JARVIS. THANKS, REBECCA. AND THE FBI IS UNVEILING NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. INVESTIGATORS SAY YEARS WORTH OF ONLINE ACTIVITY SHOWS THE SUSPECT WAS OBSESSED WITH COMMITTING A VIOLENT ACT. ABC NEWS CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL HAS THE LATEST. >> THIS IS THE ASSAULT STYLE RIFLE. THE FBI SAYS THOMAS MATTHEW CROOKS USED TO TRY TO KILL FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP LAST MONTH. THE IS SHARING THESE PHOTOS AFTER SIX WEEKS OF INVESTIGATING THE ASSASSINATION, SHOWING THE GUN DISASSEMBLED AND THE BACKPACK DISCOVERED AT THE SCENE. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE SEEING AN IMAGE OF THE TWO EXPLOSIVE DEVICES FOUND INSIDE THE SHOOTER'S CAR AND THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. THEY SAY HE USED TO CLIMB ONTO THE ROOF. >> TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED . BUT AFTER SIFTING THROUGH FIVE YEARS WORTH OF ONLINE ACTIVITY, FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS HAVE FOUND NO CONSISTENT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, NO EVIDENCE HE WAS DIRECTED BY A FOREIGN ENTITY AND NO COCONSPIRATORS. AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING TO INDICATE WHY HE TRIED TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP ON JULY 30TH, FIRING AT LEAST EIGHT SHOTS AND KILLING 50-YEAR-OLD FIREFIGHTER COREY COMPERATORE. >> HERE HE IS, BECAUSE INSTEAD THE FBI SAID THE SHOOTER HAD BEEN ENGAGED IN A, QUOTE, SUSTAINED, DETAILED EFFORT TO PLAN AN ATTACK ON SOME EVENT MAKING MORE THAN 60 SEARCHES RELATED TO DONALD TRUMP BUT ALSO TO PRESIDENT BIDEN IN THE MONTH PRIOR WHEN THIS EVENT WAS ANNOUNCED. >> THE TRUMP RALLY WAS ANNOUNCED EARLY IN JULY. HE BECAME FOCUSED ON THAT SPECIFIC EVENT AND LOOKED AT IT AS A TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY. >> AMONG HIS SEARCHES, WHEN IS THE DNC CONVENTION? WHERE IS THE RNC 2024? AND HOW FAR WAS OSWALD FROM KENNEDY A REFERENCE TO THE 1963 ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY BY LEE HARVEY OSWALD? >> THE SHOOTER'S TROUBLING SEARCH HISTORY GOES BACK SOME FIVE YEARS, INCLUDING A SEARCH THAT HE CONDUCTED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019 ON, QUOTE, HOW TO MAKE A FERTILIZER BOMB. BUT AGAIN, NO CLEAR MOTIVE IN ANY OF HIS SEARCHES BEYOND THE APPARENT DESIRE TO TAKE PART IN SOME KIND OF A MASS CASUALTY EVENT OR A MASS. THIS INVESTIGATION, HOWEVER, CONTINUES. DIANE. >> ABC NEWS CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL. THANKS, JOHN. AND AT LEAST 12 PEOPLE ARE DEAD IN THE WEST BANK AS ISRAEL CARRIES OUT ITS BIGGEST MILITARY OPERATION THERE IN DECADES. ISRAEL SAYS IT'S TARGETING PALESTINIAN MILITANTS IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORY AS PART OF ITS LARGER WAR, HAMAS AND OTHER MILITANT GROUPS IN THE REGION. BUT THE U.N.

IF THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, IF YOU'RE IN THE TWIN CITIES, IF YOU'RE TRAVELING IN IOWA, NOTE THIS IN WESTERN WISCONSIN AS WELL. DAMAGING WIND IS THE MAIN HAZARD, BUT THEY DO HAVE A RISK OF TORNADOES, TOO. SO STORMS STICK AROUND FROM ST.

IN THIS HISTORIC MOMENT, THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR, LINSEY DAVIS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS LIVE, HULU AND DISNEY PLUS ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU'RE LOOKING AT NEW YORK CITY ON THIS THURSDAY AND WE HAVE LOT OF NEWS TO GET TO. HERE'S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. A HEAT WAVE IN THE SOUTH AND EAST IS FUELING TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES AND DANGEROUS STORMS. WASHINGTON, D.C. HIT 101 DEGREES YESTERDAY, BREAKING ITS DAILY. AND AT LEAST FIVE TORNADOES WERE REPORTED LAST NIGHT IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS. NOW MORE THAN 117 MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNDER HEAT ALERTS . A FORMER NEVADA POLITICIAN IS FACING LIFE IN PRISON, BEING FOUND GUILTY OF MURDERING A JOURNALIST. A JURY CONVICTED OF STABBING JEFFREY GERMAN TO DEATH AFTER HE EXPOSED CORRUPTION AND TELLING HIS OFFICE PROSECUTORS PLAYED BE VIDEOS THEY SAY SHOW TELLER'S SUV CANVASING GERMAN NEIGHBORHOOD UNTIL IS DRESSED IN A DISGUISE. MOMENTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE MURDER TELLERS TOOK THE STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE, HE WAS FRAMED. NOW PROSECUTORS SAY THE GUILTY VERDICT SHOULD SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT ANY ATTEMPTS TO SILENCE OR INTIMIDATE JOURNALISTS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT ATTENDANTS HAVE VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY TO AUTHORIZE A STRIKE. THE UNION'S DEMANDS A DOUBLE DIGIT PAY RAISE, MORE FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES AND JOB SECURITY AMONG. A MEDIAN PAY FOR FLIGHT ATTENDANTS IS JUST OVER $68,000, WHILE A FIRST YEAR WORKER CAN EXPECT TO MAKE 23 TO $32000. UNITED RECENTLY ANNOUNCED PROFITS ARE UP MORE THAN 20%. CAITLIN CLARK IS NOW THE WNBA RECORD HOLDER THREE POINTERS IN A ROOKIE SEASON. CLARK SET THE NEW RECORD AS THE INDIANA FEVER BEAT THE CONNECTICUT SUN WITH GOLD MEDALIST JOE SIMON AND GABBY THOMAS IN THE STANDS. THE TEAM WAS EXCITED TO MEET THE OLYMPIANS AFTER THE GAME. CLARK AND THE FEVER ARE SET TO TAKE ANGEL REYES IN THE CHICAGO SKY TOMORROW NIGHT. AND LAWYERS FOR THE SUSPECT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDERS ARE SET TO ASK A JUDGE TO MOVE HIS TRIAL LOCATION. AND NEW COURT DOCUMENTS, THE DEFENSE SAYS THE ONLY WAY FOR BRIAN EICHELBERGER TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF HAPPENS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTY. BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THEY ARE CONFIDENT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY. ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR KAYNA WHITWORTH HAS. >> THE LATEST FROM MOSCOW, IDAHO. A PIVOTAL DAY IN COURT AS BRIAN COOPER'S LEGAL TEAM TRIES TO CONVINCE THE JUDGE IN MOSCOW TO MOVE HIS TRIAL. COOPER'S ATTORNEYS ARE ARGUING A NEW COURT DOCUMENTS THAT A MOB MENTALITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY JUSTIFIED, HIS MOVING THE TRIAL TO A DIFFERENT COUNTY, SAYING THEY DID EXTENSIVE CITING LOCAL RESIDENTS WHO SAID IF KOHBERGER WASN'T, THEY'D BURN THE COURTHOUSE DOWN. OUTRAGE BE A MILD DESCRIPTION. >> AND THEN LATER THAT MORNING ,WE SEE AN ATTACK ON THE FLAT. >> PROSECUTORS ARE CONFIDENT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY IN MOSCOW. THE PARENTS OF VICTIM KAYLA GONSALVES HAVE SAID THEY'RE EAGER TO GET THE TRIAL STARTED. >> YOU WANT TO PUT THIS BEHIND YOU SO YOU CAN MOVE ON AS A FAMILY? >> I'M JUST IN LIMBO. >> KOHBERGER FACES FOUR MURDER CHARGES IN THE STABBING DEATHS OF MADISON, MORGAN, ETHAN CHAPIN AND XANA KERNODLE . A NOT GUILTY PLEA HAS BEEN ENTERED ON HIS BEHALF. PROSECUTORS SAY THEY CAN LINK COWORKER TO THE MURDERS THROUGH DNA EVIDENCE FOUND AT THE SCENE, AS WELL AS SECURITY FOOTAGE AND CELL PHONE DATA. >> COWORKERS DEFENSE TEAM SAYS THAT'S NOT THE CASE, CLAIMING HE WAS DRIVING AROUND ALONE THE NIGHT THE KILLINGS OCCURRED. STARGAZING IN, A REMOTE PARK 40 MINUTES FROM MOSCOW. THIS IS BRIAN. COWORKERS DEFENSE LAWYERS CLAIM THAT HE WAS ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDERS AND. THEY SAY THAT CLAIM IS SUPPORTED BY CELL PHONE DATA, INCLUDING PICTURES DEPICTING THE NIGHT SKY ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, INCLUDING. >> DAVE MEHAN, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF HAWAII PARK, LIVES THERE YEAR ROUND, SPEAKING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> DO YOU SEE PEOPLE OUT HERE LIKE THE WINTER MONTHS? >> GENERALLY SPEAKING, PEOPLE DON'T COME DOWN JUST TO HANG OUT. >> AS QUESTIONS SWIRL, SCHOOL IS ALSO BACK IN SESSION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO AND THE HEALING GARDEN TO HONOR THE STUDENTS HAS BEEN DEDICATED. >> WHEN THIS TRIAL STARTS AND IF IT'S HELD HERE IN MOSCOW, I KNOW THERE'S ALSO CONCERN ABOUT SOME OF THOSE WOUNDS BEING REOPENED. >> YEAH, WE FULLY ANTICIPATE THE WOUNDS ARE GOING TO BE REOPENED. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SUPPORT FOR OUR STUDENTS IF THEY NEED ASSISTANCE, NAVIGATING THROUGH THAT. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS SPACE IS ABOUT, TOO, IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME AND CONGREGATE TOGETHER DURING THOSE DIFFICULT TIMES. >> AND KAYNA WHITWORTH JOINS ME NOW FROM, MOSCOW, IDAHO, ALONG WITH CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY, FORMER PROSECUTOR BERNHARDT OF YOU, ALONA FOR MORE. KENNY, YOU'VE BEEN COVERING THIS STORY FROM THE BEGINNING AND TALKED TO LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY ALONG THE WAY. SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE DEFENSE'S CLAIMS ABOUT COMMUNITY SENTIMENT TOWARD BRIAN KOHBERGER AND WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HAPPEN IN COURT TODAY? FIRST OF ALL, DIANE, I WILL SAY THAT WHEN YOU SPEAK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS HERE, ULTIMATELY THE BOTTOM, WHAT THEY WANT IS JUSTICE, BUT THEY WANT IT TO BE DONE FAIRLY AND THEY WANT IT TO BE DONE CORRECTLY. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CONTINUOUSLY HEAR FROM THE PROSECUTION. WELL, RIGHT. THEY WANT THIS TO GO TO TRIAL ONCE AND BE DONE. THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE A LOT OF APPEALS. SO THERE'S A LOT OF DOTTING I'S AND CROSSING T'S HERE HAPPENING . THE OTHER THING, DIANE, IS THAT THEY REALLY PUSH BACK ON THIS SENTIMENT OF, A MOB MENTALITY. IN FACT, THEY FIND IT QUITE OFFENSIVE, ACCORDING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I SPOKE WITH. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEFENSE TEAM WILL TRY AND PROVE . THEY'LL BE CALLING SEVERAL EXPERT WITNESSES TO THE STAND, INCLUDING A SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGIST. AND, DIANE, THIS IS A PERSON WHO TRULY BELIEVES THIS SURVEY CONDUCTED BY THE DEFENSE TEAM SHOWS A CLEAR BIAS HERE IN LAKE COUNTY. AND THIS WILL REITERATE THEIR CLAIM THAT BRIAN KOHBERGER CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL HERE AS THEY TRY TO MOVE IT TO ADA COUNTY IN BOISE, WHERE THEY SAY THE RESPONSES TO THAT SURVEY, DIANE, WERE JUST LESS EMOTIONAL. >> SO, BERNARDO, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT ARGUMENT. THE DEFENSE IS SAYING THERE'S A MOB MENTALITY AND A PRESSURE TO CONVICT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SO IS THAT ENOUGH TO MOVE A TRIAL? >> AND IF NOT, HOW CAN KOHBERGER GET A FAIR TRIAL IF THEY DON'T MOVE IT? >> SO THE DEFENSE, OF COURSE, IS GOING TO ARGUE THAT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY, A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL TRIAL INSIDE OF THAT COUNTY. BUT THE TEST IS GOING TO BE WHAT THE JUDGE IS GOING TO DETERMINE IS QUESTIONING THESE POTENTIAL JURORS, BECAUSE THE DEFENSE, WHILE THEY SAY, YES, EVERYONE THAT THEY'VE SPOKEN TO. BUT DID THEY SPEAK TO EVERY POTENTIAL JUROR, A JUDGE ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO THOSE POTENTIAL JURORS? THE PROSECUTION WASN'T TO SPEAK TO THOSE POTENTIAL JURORS. THEY ARE BASING THEIR ARGUMENT ON A SURVEY. WHEN IT COMES TO JURY SELECTION, IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER YOU HEARD ABOUT THE CASE. IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER YOU HEARD ABOUT BRIAN COLD BURGER. IT'S MORE OF CAN YOU BE A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY? CAN YOU DETERMINE THE EVIDENCE AND THE FACT BASED ON WHAT'S PRESENTED INSIDE THAT COURTROOM? YES. THE DEFENSE DOES HAVE A STRONG STANDING. THE SENSE OF THIS THIS CASE IS EMOTIONALLY FOR EVERYONE. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO GET A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL. BUT IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. AND THAT IS WHAT THE JURY, THE JUDGE GOING TO DETERMINE AND THE QUESTIONING AND DOING THIS HEARING TODAY. >> AND BERNARDO, WHAT'S THE OPPOSING ARGUMENT IN GENERAL? WHY TRY TO HAVE IT IN THE LOCATION WHERE THE CRIMES WERE COMMITTED? WHY NOT JUST MOVE IT IF THERE'S A QUESTION? >> WELL, THE THING IS THAT THEN YOU CAN ARGUE THAT WAS TRIAL WITH EVERY CASE THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS. OF COURSE THIS IS A HIGH PROFILE CASE BUT THE PEOPLE IN THAT COUNTY AND ALSO THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES DO HAVE A RIGHT THAT THE CASE IS TRIED IN THE COUNTY THAT THE CRIME ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE. YES THIS COUNTY IS MUCH SMALLER THAN BOISE COUNTY, BUT AGAIN, IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY. IF ANYTHING DID, THE JUDGE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAY, WELL, DO WHAT QUESTIONNAIRE WHERE THEY'LL BE EXTENSIVELY QUESTIONED ABOUT THEIR VIEWS AND TRY TO DETECT IF THERE'S ANY BIAS OR PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS TO THE GUILT OF BRIAN PAUL BURGER. >> ALL RIGHT, KAYNA WHITWORTH BERNARD VALONE, I THANK YOU BOTH. >> AND A NEW STUDY SHOWS A KIDNEY HAS NEVER BEEN SAFER. THE STUDY, PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, FOUND PEOPLE WHO DONATE A KIDNEY ARE AT AN LOWER RISK OF DEATH FROM THE OPERATION THAN DOCTORS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. TRANSPLANT CENTERS HAD BEEN CITING A RISK OF THREE DEATHS PER 10,000 LIVING DONORS, BUT THIS STUDY TRACKED 30 YEARS OF LIVING KIDNEY DONATION AND FOUND BY 2022, FEWER THAN ONE IN 10,000 DONORS DIED WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF THEIR SURGERY. DR. DARIEN SUTTON JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS DR. SUTTON, A TRANSPLANT SURGEON WHO COAUTHORED THE STUDY SAID THAT NEWER SURGICAL TECHNIQUES ARE PART OF THE REASON THAT YOU'RE SEEING THIS SHIFT. SO DOES ALSO MEAN EASIER RECOVERY FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERGO THIS SURGERY. OVERALL, YES. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE OVERALL NUMBERS, YES, EASIER RECOVERY. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. NOW THEY HAVE NEW TECHNIQUES WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT OR IT'S PLANTED WHILE YOU'RE WIDE AWAKE IN THE VERY SIMILAR WAY THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, WOMEN HAVE CHILDREN, WHAT THE PROCEDURE CALLED AN EPIDURAL TO NUMB. >> AND THERE'S ALSO MORE SAFETY GUIDELINES WHICH HAVE ALLOWED HOSPITALS TO BE SAFER, ALLOWING PATIENTS TO HAVE BETTER OUTCOMES. GETTING OUT OF THE HOSPITAL QUICKER. AND FOR IT'S MORE MOTIVATION TO CONVINCE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ORGAN DONATION. AND IT DOES SEEM THAT THAT IS WORKING BECAUSE LAST YEAR THE OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FROM LIVING DONORS WAS THE HIGHEST IT'S BEEN SINCE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK'S BEHIND THAT PUSH, SEEMINGLY MAKING MORE PEOPLE COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF DONATING. >> WELL, HOPEFULLY IT'S CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS AND MORE PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY AWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFE PROCEDURE AND THAT PROVIDING THAT OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE OUT IS TREMENDOUS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATISTICS, THERE IS AN ESTIMATED 170 MILLION ORGAN DONORS. BUT I THINK WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT OUT OF THAT, ONLY THREE OUT OF EVERY THOUSAND ORGAN DONORS CAN ACTUALLY DONATE AFTER DEATH. GIVEN THERE'S DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES THAT INVOLVE DEATH. AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THOSE HUNDRED AND 70 MILLION, WE STILL NEED MORE. SO PARTICIPATING, LOGGING ON, SEARCHING ORGAN DONATION AND FIGURING OUT HOW YOU CAN HELP IS REALLY IMPORTANT. >> THAT'S HOW THIS ISN'T A KNEE DECISION. >> THIS ISN'T SOMETHING YOU WANT TO JUST SAY. YEAH, SURE, YOU CAN HAVE MY KIDNEY, RIGHT? SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LONG TERM RISKS IF YOU'RE HAVING CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE ABOUT THIS? WHAT ARE THINGS THEY HAVE TO CONSIDER BEFORE THEY MAKE THIS DECISION? >> WELL, HAVING ONE KIDNEY IS NOT A BENIGN THING. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE BEING CAREFUL REGARDLESS. NUMBER ONE, MAKING SURE THAT YOUR RISK FACTORS ON POINT. AND SO CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, INCREASE YOUR RISK OF RENAL FAILURE OR RENAL DISEASE OR KIDNEY DISEASE. AND SO YOU DON'T WANT THOSE OTHER OBSTACLES IN YOUR WAY IF YOU'RE CHOOSING TO DONATE A KIDNEY, IT GOES TO A STRICT REGIMEN AND PROTOCOL FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE DONATING A KIDNEY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE THE HEALTHIEST THAT THEY CAN BE. >> BUT THAT BEING SAID, YOU CAN STILL LIVE A LONG LIFE, A FRUITFUL LIFE WITH ONE KIDNEY. >> IT'S VERY POSSIBLE. VERY DOABLE. AND AGAIN, THIS IS A HARD DECISION, BUT IT REALLY TAKES IN PLACE WHAT THAT PERSON IS TRYING TO DO, WHICH IS HELPING SOMEONE ELSE LIVE THEIR LIFE, WHICH IS TREMENDOUS, SAVE A LIFE IN MANY CASES. >> DR. SUTTON, THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING ON. >> OF COURSE. COMING UP HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE, FIRST, A THEFT OF CARS WITH KEY FOBS ARE ON THE RISE. OUR TRANSPORTATION CORRESPOND GIO BENITEZ HAS A MUST-SEE DEMONSTRATION ON HOW IT'S HAPPENING. YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO SEE THIS ONE. OH, WELL, WHY?

SO JORDAN AFTERNOON HERE EVERYTHING. >> YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT TO. >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ARE ISSUING A NEW WARNING ABOUT YOUR CAR'S KEY. DID YOU KNOW YOUR CAR COULD BE STOLEN? EVEN IF THE FOB IS NOT INSIDE? THE NATIONAL INSURANCE CRIME BUREAU REPORTS LAST YEAR, MORE THAN A MILLION CARS WERE STOLEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND THAT NUMBER HAS BEEN STEADILY SINCE 2019. ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT. >> GIO BENITEZ HAS THE LATEST. BENJAMIN BRAG REYNOLDS RAN OUT TO START HIS CAR ON A COLD WINTER EVENING IN WASHINGTON, D.C., WHILE IT WARMED UP. >> HE RAN BACK INSIDE, WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET THEOG. >> WHEN I TURNED AROUND TO COME BACK OUT, THE CAR WAS GONE, BUT HE HAD TAKEN THE KEY INSIDE WITH HIM, SOMETHING HE'D DONE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. >> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU CAN STARTED AND WALK AWAY FROM IT, BUT IT WON'T MOVE UNLESS THE KEY IS IN THE VEHICLE. NEVER WOULD I HAVE STARTED IT AND LEFT IT. >> HAD I KNOW IT CAN MOVE. >> AT LEAST 70 FIVE WEEK OLD BULLDOG PUPPIES WERE RECOVERED BY D.C. POLICE AFTER THE VEHICLE THEY WERE IN WAS STOLEN WHEN THE DRIVER LEFT HER RUNNING TO KEEP THEM WARM WHILE SHE QUICKLY WENT INSIDE HER APARTMENT. THEY AREN'T ALONE. THE D.C. METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT'S A PERSISTENT PROBLEM. >> YOU'LL SEE CARS RUNNING IN FRONT OF RESTAURANTS AT GAS STATIONS. IT'S UNFORTUNATELY A COMMON THING THAT PEOPLE ARE DOING, IS LEAVING THEIR CARS RUNNING UNATTENDED WITH THE HELP OF THE D.C. POLICE. >> WE SEE JUST HOW QUICKLY IT CAN HAPPEN. >> SO HERE'S THE ISSUE. I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS CAR RUNNING. I HAVE THE KEY FOB WITH ME. OFFICER WATSON IS GOING TO COME IN HERE. SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE KEY FOB. SHE'S GOING TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR AND SHE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE RIGHT OFF AGAIN. I STILL THE KEY. >> WE FOLLOW HER AS SHE DRIVES THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD AND DOWN BUSY D.C. STREETS, ALL WITHOUT THE KEY FOB. >> SO WE'RE ON A MAJOR STREET RIGHT NOW. THE CAR'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. WE'VE THE KEY. IT'S STILL MOVING. YEAH. HASN'T STOPPED. DOESN'T SURPRISE YOU AT ALL? NOT A BIT. WE JUST PASSED A PHARMACY. I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE. SOMEBODY MIGHT JUST LEAVE THEIR CAR RUNNING OUTSIDE TO RUN AND GRAB THEIR PRESCRIPTION AND COME OUT. ABSOLUTELY. ONLY FIND OUT THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THEIR KEY, THE CAR IS GONE. >> YEP. FOR BRAD REYNOLDS, WHOSE CAR WAS EVENTUALLY RECOVERED IN ANOTHER, IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN EXPENSIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE. THEY TOOK IT FOR A JOYRIDE, APPARENTLY. IT WAS SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE I ACTUALLY GOT THE CAR. THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF DAMAGE . >> $5,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. AUTOMAKERS CHECKING YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR OTHER OPTIONS LIKE REMOTE START THAT WON'T ALLOW THE CAR TO MOVE WITHOUT THE FAULT. BUT THEY WARN TO NEVER START YOUR CAR AND WALK AWAY, EVEN WITH THE KEY FOB. >> TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ, THANK YOU. AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON IS KICKING OFF ITS NEW SEASON THIS. YEAR'S TOP TIER MATCHUPS COULD HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE PLAYOFF PICTURE. NUMBER GEORGIA HOSTS CLEMSON. THE FIGHTING IRISH TRAVEL TO TEXAS A&M ON SATURDAY AND USC CAPS OFF THE WEEKEND WITH A PRIMETIME MATCHUP AGAINST ON SUNDAY NIGHT IN DEATH VALLEY. LET'S BRING IN ESPN COLLEGE FOOTBALL SAM ACHO FOR MORE. SAM, THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING ON. LET'S START WITH GEORGIA TECH. THEY STARTED OFF THE SEASON WITH A BIG UPSET OF FLORIDA LAST WEEK IN DUBLIN. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR, THE SEMINOLES PLAYOFF HOPES? AND HOW DO YOU THINK THE NEW 12 TEAM PLAYOFF SITUATION CHANGES THE EQUATION? >> WELL, THE SEMINOLES, THE FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES PLAYOFF HOPES ARE STILL ALIVE. THE REASON WHY IS THAT WE JUST WENT FROM A 14 PLAYOFF TO A 12 TEAM PLAYOFF. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THE FOUR HIGHEST RATE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS WILL STILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. SO STATE STILL IN THE SCC. THEY COULD WIN THEIR CONFERENCE STILL EVEN WITH A LOSS AND MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. NOT ONLY THAT THEY'D HAVE A FIRST ROUND BYE WEEK. NOW LET'S SAY FLORIDA STATE DOESN'T WIN THEIR CONFERENCE. WELL THE NEXT SEVEN HIGHEST RANKED AT LARGE TEAMS, A FOUR HIGH STRAIGHT CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS WITH THE GROUP OF FIVE CHAMPION MAKES IT THE NEXT SEVEN HIGHEST RANKED TEAMS STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE IT SO. FLORIDA STATE'S SEASON IS NOT OVER. >> SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR IN THIS WEEKEND'S BIG? >> THE FIRST GAME I'M WATCHING FOR IS NOTRE DAME GOING TO TEXAS A&M. WHY IS THAT? WELL, NOTRE DAME IS STARTING TO NEW TACKLES. THEY HAVE A GREAT DEFENSE. BUT TEXAS A&M IS ONE OF THE LOUDEST PLACES TO PLAY. KYLE FIELD HAS OVER 100,000 PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE A NEW HEAD COACH AS WELL. SO THAT STADIUM WILL BE ROCKING AND, OH, BY THE WAY, NOTRE DAME, SINCE THEY'RE NOT IN A CONFERENCE, THEY COULD STILL MAKE THE PLAYOFF. >> THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE IN ONE OF THOSE TOP FOUR SPOTS. AND OTHER TEAMS, DO YOU THINK, HAVE A CHANCE TO GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR? ANOTHER THING I'M LOOKING AT IS A TEAM LIKE PENN STATE. PENN STATE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS HASN'T MADE THE PLAYOFF BECAUSE OF TEAMS LIKE OHIO STATE, MICHIGAN. THEY'RE USUALLY RANKED AHEAD OF THEM IN A 14 PLAYOFF THAT MATTERS IN A 12 TEAM PLAYOFF WITH A TEAM LIKE PENN STATE HAS A CHANCE ONLY TO MAKE THE PLAYOFF.

WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE YOU'RE STREAMING. ABC NEWS LIVE. I AM DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE TARGETING THEIR MUST WIN STATES. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ZEROING IN ON THE RUST BELT THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FOCUSES ON GEORGIA. BUT A NEW POLL SAYS ABOUT THEIR STANDING WITH THEIR FIRST DEBATE JUST 12 DAYS AWAY. NEW DETAILS ON THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. WHAT AGENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SUSPECT'S MINDSET AND WHY HE ZEROED IN ON THAT TRUMP RALLY. THE HIGH STAKES HEARING FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER SUSPECT. WHY BRIAN BERGER'S LEGAL TEAM IS ARGUING TO MOVE HIS TRIAL TO ANOTHER COUNTY. AND THE TSA IS BRACING FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND TRAVEL CRUSH. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT THE COUNTRY'S BUSIEST AIRPORTS. AND THE BEST AND WORST TIMES TO HIT THE ROAD. BUT FIRST, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND GOVERNOR TIM WALZ ARE HITTING THE ROAD IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF GEORGIA FOR A SECOND DAY. MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GETTING READY TO CAMPAIGN MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN AND PENNSYLVANIA. IT COMES AS A NEW POLL FINDS HAS CLOSED THE GAP WITH TRUMP IN THE SUN BELT SWING STATES. ABC WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THAT. >> MARYALICE WHO IS THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN TRYING TO REACH WITH THIS BUS TOUR? YEAH, THEY SEE GEORGIA AS REALLY FERTILE GROUND. THEY'VE SEEN TRUMP REALLY STRUGGLE WITH EVEN REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN THAT STATE . THEY'VE SEEN HOW MANY NEW PEOPLE AND YOUNG WORKING PROFESSIONALS HAVE MOVED TO GEORGIA IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. AND LAST, THEY'RE MAKING A BIG PUSH, EVEN FOR RED RURAL AREAS OF THE STATE. LEANING INTO WALZ'S OWN ROOTS, COMING FROM A SMALL RURAL TOWN IN NEBRASKA AND THEN MINNESOTA, AND ALSO TALKING SPECIFICALLY TO BLACK VOTERS OUTSIDE OF THOSE URBAN CENTERS. LOOK, THE POLLS, LIKE YOU SAID THERE IN THE INTRODUCTION, HAVE REALLY TIGHTENING IN SOME OF THESE PLACES ARIZONA, NEVADA, BUT EVEN GEORGIA. FOR A WHILE, TRUMP WAS REALLY ENJOYING QUITE A BIG LEAD IN THAT STATE. AND OVERNIGHT WE SAW A FOX NEWS POLL THAT ACTUALLY PUT HARRIS UP. SO, LOOK, WE KNOW BIDEN EKED OUT THAT STATE BY UNDER 12,000 VOTES IN 2020, AND DEMOCRATS WERE NOT SURE WHETHER COULD KEEP IT. >> BUT IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THEY ARE REALLY DOUBLING DOWN THERE. ONE LAST THING. THE HARRIS TEAM IS BOASTING OF OVER 30,000 NEW VOLUNTEERS HERE THAT THEY CLAIM HAVE SIGNED UP TO JOIN HARRIS' TEAM, VOLUNTEERING FOR THEM IN GEORGIA. SO LIKE I SAID, THEY FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR ODDS THERE AND THEY ARE REALLY SPENDING TIME AND MONEY TO TRY TO SEE IF CAN KEEP THAT STATE BLUE. >> AND MARY, IS THERE CAMPAIGNING DIFFERENT LEE, THERE FROM THE WAY PRESIDENT BIDEN DID FOUR YEARS AGO. >> WHY IS THAT? >> YEAH, WELL, THEY'RE TALKING TO RURAL VOTERS. LIKE I SAID, THAT'S INTERESTING. THEY'RE REALLY LEANING INTO BACKGROUND, S BIOGRAPHY, SORT OF WHAT HE BRINGS TO THIS TICKET AS SOMEONE WHO HIMSELF WAS FROM A SMALL RURAL TOWN. BUT THEY'RE ALSO TALKING SPECIFICALLY TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS. YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING BACK TO THE CONVENTION, THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN CHICAGO JUST LAST WEEK, THEY HAD THE FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA, A REPUBLICAN, TAKE THE STAGE AND MADE A DIRECT APPEAL TO REPUBLICANS. HE SAID THAT YOU WERE BEING PATRIOT, ESSENTIALLY TO VOTE FOR HARRIS, THAT THEY SORT OF EXPERIENCED IN GEORGIA. WHAT HE SAID WAS SORT OF ACTIONS FROM FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TO TRY TO GET ELECTION OFFICIALS TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS IN GEORGIA. AND IT WAS VERY INTERESTING HOW MANY REPUBLICANS IN THAT STATE HAVE COME OUT AND SPOKEN OUT REALLY PERSONALLY, REALLY POWERFULLY AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. AND SO ALL OF THIS COMBINED, LIKE I SAID, DEMOCRATS REALLY FEEL LIKE THEY SEE AN OPENING ONLY TO TALK TO RURAL VOTERS THEY DON'T NORMALLY TALK TO, BUT TALK SPECIFICALLY TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS THERE IN GEORGIA WHO THEY THINK MIGHT BE REALLY FRUSTRATED BY WHAT TRUMP DID AFTER THE LAST ELECTION. >> SO WHAT MESSAGE IS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN TAKING TO THE RUST BELT AND HOW CRITICAL IS THAT REGION FOR HIM? >> YEAH, REALLY CRITICAL. >> I MEAN, DEMOCRATS WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS AS THE BLUE WALL. OBVIOUSLY, IN 2016, WE SAW TRUMP PUT CRACKS IN THAT WALL. IT'S INTERESTING. WE'RE SEEING REPUBLICANS LEAN INTO JD VANCE'S OWN BIO TALK ABOUT HOW HE GREW UP IN OHIO, TALK ABOUT HIS PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH MANUFACTURING TOWNS THAT WERE HIT HARD SORT OF IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 2000. HE TALKS HEAVILY ABOUT HOW HE DOESN'T THAT TRADE AGREEMENTS, GLOBAL TRADE AGREEMENTS, HELP THOSE TOWNS. HE ABOUT HOW TRUMP IS PUSHING FOR TARIFFS SORT OF A TAX ON COMPANIES THAT BRING IN GOODS FROM OVERSEAS THAT TRUMP ADVANCED REALLY BELIEVE THAT THAT WOULD HELP BOOST AMERICAN MANUFACTURING. SO THEY'RE YES LEANING IN AND THEIR CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE ON PLACES LIKE MICHIGAN WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, OF COURSE, THAT'LL BE INTERESTING TO. SEE HOW LONG THEY STAY IN THOSE DAYS, HOW MANY DAYS THEY TO THOSE STATES. AND OF COURSE, WE IMAGINE THAT THE TRUMP HARRIS SORRY, THAT THE HARRIS-WALZ TICKET WILL ALSO SORT OF RETURN TO THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY AS WELL. AND THESE FEW STATES COULD DECIDE THE WHOLE ELECTION. >> ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS, THANK YOU. >> AND SEPTEMBER 10TH, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE ON ABC NEWS AGAIN THAT SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT HERE ON ABC LIVE. >> MEANWHILE, THE FBI IS UNVEILING DETAILS ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. INVESTIGATORS SAY YEARS WORTH OF ONLINE ACTIVITY SHOWS THE SUSPECT WAS OBSESSED WITH COMMITTING A VIOLENT ACT. ABC'S CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL HAS THE LATEST. >> THIS IS THE ASSAULT STYLE RIFLE. THE FBI SAYS THOMAS MATTHEW CROOKS USED TO TRY TO KILL FORMER TRUMP LAST MONTH. THE AGENCY IS SHARING THESE PHOTOS AFTER SIX WEEKS OF INVESTIGATING THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION SHOWING THE GUN DISASSEMBLED AND THE BACKPACK DISCOVERED AT THE SCENE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME WE'RE SEEING AN IMAGE OF THE TWO EXPLOSIVE DEVICES FOUND INSIDE THE SHOOTER'S CAR AND THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. THEY SAY HE USED TO CLIMB ONTO THE ROOF. >> TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT. BUT AFTER SIFTING THROUGH FIVE YEARS WORTH OF ONLINE ACTIVITY, FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS HAVE FOUND NO CONSISTENT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. NO EVIDENCE HE WAS DIRECTED BY A FOREIGN ENTITY AND, NO COCONSPIRATORS. AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING TO INDICATE WHY HE TRIED TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP ON JULY 13TH, FIRING AT LEAST EIGHT SHOTS AND KILLING 50-YEAR-OLD FIREFIGHTER CORY. >> COMPARED TO OTHER AREAS, BECAUSE INSTEAD, THE FBI SAID THE SHOOTER HAD BEEN ENGAGED IN A, QUOTE, SUSTAINED, DETAILED EFFORT TO PLAN AN ATTACK ON SOME EVENT MAKING MORE THAN 60 SEARCHES RELATED TO DONALD TRUMP BUT ALSO TO PRESIDENT IN THE MONTH PRIOR WHEN THIS EVENT WAS ANNOUNCED. >> THE TRUMP RALLY WAS ANNOUNCED EARLY IN JULY. HE BECAME HYPER FOCUSED ON THAT SPECIFIC EVENT AND LOOKED AT IT AS A TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY. >> AMONG HIS SEARCHES WHEN IS THE DNC CONVENTION? WHEN IS THE RNC IN 2024. AND HOW FAR WAS OSAWA FROM KENNEDY? A REFERENCE TO THE 1963 ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY BY LEE HARVEY OSWALD? >> THE SHOOTER'S TROUBLING SEARCH HISTORY GOES BACK SOME FIVE YEARS, INCLUDING A SEARCH THAT HE CONDUCTED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019 ON, QUOTE, HOW TO MAKE A FERTILIZER. BUT AGAIN, NO CLEAR MOTIVE IN ANY OF HIS SEARCHES BEYOND THE APPARENT DESIRE TO TAKE IN SOME KIND OF A MASS CASUALTY EVENT OR A MASS SHOOTING. THIS INVESTIGATION, HOWEVER, CONTINUES. DIANE ABC'S CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL. THANKS, JOHN. AND A NEW STORM SYSTEM IS FORMING RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF SEVERE IN THE MIDWEST. THIS AS THE SOUTH AND EAST COAST BRACE FOR TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES. ABC NEWS CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE HAS MORE ON WHY THE HEAT IS FUELING SEVERE STORMS. ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS MOVING EAST AFTER PUMMELING THE NORTHERN PLAINS IN MICHIGAN. NEW VIDEO OF DAMAGE FROM THE FIRST ROUND OF STORMS. THIS HOME SLICED BY DOWNED TREES. A DRONE CAPTURING TWO TRUNKS, SHREDDING THE HOUSE. MORE THAN HUNDRED THOUSAND CUSTOMERS IN THAT STATE STILL WITHOUT POWER. >> OH, MY GOSH. AND LAST NIGHT IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS, AT LEAST FIVE REPORTED TORNADOES. THIS VIVID ROTATION RIPPING ACROSS THE FIELDS NEAR MOUNT CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA. THOSE STORMS BREAKING UP THE EXTREME HEAT. MORE THAN 17 MILLION AMERICANS STILL UNDER HEAT ALERTS. >> STAY COOL WAY BY. THE HEAT INDEX IN PHILADELPHIA WAS NEAR 100 DEGREES WEDNESDAY. FOOD TRUCK WORKERS LIKE MANUEL ESTRADA DE, LA ROSA DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO BEAT THE HEAT. >> WE HAVE TWO FANS AND EACH DAY SO WE READY. WE PUT SOME WATER, ICE AND THE COOLER. >> WASHINGTON, D.C. BREAKING ITS DAILY RECORD, HITTING 101 DEGREES. IT'S BEEN BRUTALLY HOT TODAY. WE'VE WE'VE BEEN DRINKING A LOT OF WATER. >> SOME SCHOOLS IN THE NORTHEAST DISMISSED STUDENTS EARLY DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AND LIMITED AIR CONDITIONING. >> WHEN WE CAME IN, THE TEACHERS TOLD US, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EARLY DISMISSALS. >> IS HOT FOR ME. IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, TEMPERATURES OVER 90 FOR FOUR DAYS IN A ROW. THE CITY OPENING COOLING CENTERS. WE COULD SEE MORE RECORDS TODAY LIKE NASHVILLE. AND SO WE STILL HAVE HEAT ALERTS IN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. GREENWOOD, MISSISSIPPI, 103, PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, WITH 99. EVEN IN ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA, YOU WERE AT RECORDS THERE. SO WE WILL SEE MORE DAILY RECORDS. THERE ARE HEAT ADVISORIES, MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA, NORTH CAROLINA, UP TO WHERE IT'LL FEEL LIKE 99 DEGREES. SO ALMOST 100. BUT A TASTE OF AUTUMN FOR SO MANY FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN BAKING HERE. THE TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNING. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT WILL GO AS LOW AS 58 BY TUESDAY MORNING IN NEW YORK CITY, RALEIGH INTO THE 60. THAT'LL FEEL SUPER FRESH AS A LOT OF KIDS ARE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK. IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT. AND THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THAT BIG DIVISION OF COLD AND WARM, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SEVERE STORMS. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'LL SEE TODAY, IF THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IF YOU'RE IN THE TWIN CITIES, IF YOU'RE TRAVELING IN IOWA, NOTICE, AND WESTERN WISCONSIN AS WELL. DAMAGING WIND IS THE MAIN HAZARD. BUT THEY DO HAVE A RISK OF TORNADOES, TOO. SO STRONG STORMS STICK AROUND FROM ST. LOUIS RIGHT THROUGH NORTHWEST INDIANA INTO MID-MICHIGAN ON FRIDAY AND THEN ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, YOU START TO BLOW THESE UP. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE LABOR DAY WEEKEND PLANS. WEST VIRGINIA ON SATURDAY, PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YORK. JUST WATCH AS THIS LINE BLOWS THROUGH IN THE LATER AFTERNOON AND EVENING. >> ALL RIGHT. >> WE'LL BE WATCHING. ABC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE. THANK YOU. AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE SET TO TRAVEL FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND. THE FAA PREDICTS TODAY WILL BE THE BUSIEST AHEAD OF THE HOLIDAY. ABC'S STEPHANIE RAMOS HAS THE BEST TIME FOR YOU TO HIT THE ROAD AND SKIES AS. THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY APPROACHES. TRAVEL IS RAMPING UP. LET'S START WITH THE SKIES. THE TSA IS GEARING UP TO SCREEN MORE THAN 17 MILLION TRAVELERS FROM NOW UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY. BUSIEST AIRPORTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ATLANTA, CHICAGO O'HARE AND DALLAS FORT WORTH. MAJOR HUBS LIKE JFK RIGHT HERE IN NEW YORK CITY AND DFW WILL BE BUSIEST IN THE EVENING. THE FAA EXPECTS TODAY TO BE THE BUSIEST DAY WITH MORE THAN 52,000 FLIGHTS FORECASTED. MAJOR AIRLINES LIKE AMERICAN, UNITED, DELTA AND SOUTHWEST ARE ALL ANTICIPATING RECORD PASSENGER WITH AMERICAN EXPECTING 3.8 MILLION PASSENGERS AND DELTA 2.8 MILLION. NOW, WITH THE WEATHER PLAYING A ROLE, WE'RE SEEING A MIX OF CONDITIONS. SOME REGIONS EXPERIENCE SCATTERED STORMS. SO TRAVELERS SHOULD KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THOSE WEATHER UPDATES. OVERALL, IT'S EXPECTED TO BE A BIT BUMPY, ESPECIALLY AROUND PEAK TRAVEL TIMES. BUT FOR THOSE HEADING THE ROADS, AVOID LEAVING ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BASICALLY, AND FRIDAY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING MORNINGS ARE YOUR BEST BET FOR SMOOTHER TRAFFIC. SO IF YOU ARE HEADING OUT TODAY, HEAD OUT THIS MORNING, IF YOU'RE HEADING OUT TOMORROW. SAME THING. GOOD NEWS ON GAS PRICES. TRIPLE-A PROJECTS THE NATIONAL AVERAGE TO DROP FROM LAST YEAR'S $3.81 THIS MORNING. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE STANDS AT $3.36. >> SO, DIANE, WHETHER YOU'RE FLYING OR DRIVING, PLAN AHEAD AND STAY INFORMED. GOOD TIPS. ABC'S STEPHANIE RAMOS THANK YOU. AND THE CIA SAYS IT HELPED DISRUPT THE TERROR PLOT AGAINST TAYLOR SWIFT'S CONCERT IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA. THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR SAYS THE AGENCY PASSED ON INTELLIGENCE TO AUTHORITIES IN EUROPE LEADING TO THE ARREST OF THREE SUSPECTS. HE ALSO SAYS THE THWARTED PLOT WAS INTENDED TO KILL, QUOTE, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. ABC'S JACK DOHERTY JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE ON THAT. SO JACK, WHAT'S THE CIA SAYING HERE ABOUT THE DEGREE OF ITS INVOLVEMENT? >> WELL, THE CIA WAS ABLE TO CULTIVATE SOME INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION. THAT SAID THAT BASICALLY THEY FOUND THAT THEY WERE TARGETING THIS TAYLOR CONCERT, THAT THEY WANTED TO KILL LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, TENS OF THOUSANDS POTENTIALLY. AND THE PLOT WAS QUITE SERIOUS. THEY PASSED THAT INFORMATION AND WERE ABLE TO HELP THE AUSTRALIAN AUSTRALIAN AUTHORITIES GATHER AFFECT AND ARREST AND DISRUPT THE PLOT. THE CONCERT, OF COURSE, HAD TO BE CANCELED, BUT THE INCIDENT NEVER OCCURRED IN TERMS OF A TERRORIST INCIDENT AND THEY CONSIDER THIS A VERY GOOD DAY THAT THE SYSTEM WORKED. SO, JACK, WHAT MORE ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT WHY THIS TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT WAS TARGETED OR HOW THE CIA HAD THIS INFORMATION ABOUT ALLEGED PLOT? >> WELL, THE PLOT BELIEVED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ASIS, KAY ASIS, KAY, HAS BEEN SORT OF PUSHING OUT INFORMATION GLOBALLY TO ATTACKS WHEREVER PEOPLE WHO HEAR INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGES RISE, ESCAPE, CAN CAN EXECUTE THEM. AND THEY WANT TARGETS TO BE HIGH PROFILE EVENTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE WHERE THEY CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT, GET A LOT OF ATTENTION. AND SO WHEN THE CIA LEARNED ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, THEY TOOK ACTION QUICKLY TO TRY TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION AND TRY TO THWART THIS ATTACK. >> AND SO HOW IS THE CIA WORKING WITH OTHER INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES NOW TO TRY TO PREVENT OTHER POTENTIAL ATTACKS? >> WELL, CIA CONTINUES TO HAVE GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THEY WORK THROUGH OTHER PARTNERS IN THE UNITED STATES, THE FBI AND OTHERS WHO HAVE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS AS WELL. AND THE U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ALSO DEPENDS ON OTHER INTERNATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES FROM OTHER NATION STATES TO HELP THEM AS WELL. SO THIS INFORMATION SHARING HAS BEEN SORT OF THE BACKBONE OF INTELLIGENCE GATHERING GLOBALLY, REALLY IN THE POST SINCE THE POST-9-11 ERA. AND IT CONTINUES BE A LARGE PART OF TRYING TO PROTECT THE U.S. FROM TERROR AND ALSO ITS PARTNERS. >> ALL RIGHT, JACK DOUGHERTY IN WASHINGTON FOR US.

FOR SIX FOREIGN NATIONALS ARE IN POLICE CUSTODY AFTER A MAJOR BUST OF AN ALLEGED TOURISM RING. PROSECUTORS SAY THE SUSPECTS RAN A CAR RENTAL BUSINESS THAT CATERED TO CRIMINALS WHO TRAVEL TO THE US TO BURGLARIZE HOMES. >> CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN HAS MORE. HEY, DIANE. >> YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS, PROSECUTORS HAVE NOTICED THIS SURGING TREND OF CRIME TOURISM. PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL TO THE U.S. FROM COUNTRIES WHERE THEY CAN EASILY TOURISM VISAS TO COMMIT BURGLARIES, THEN HEAD HOME. SO IN A SIX YEAR INVESTIGATION, THEY WENT AFTER WHAT THEY CALLED A CONCIERGE CAR SERVICE FOR THE THIEVES. THE COMPANY GOING UNDER THE NAME DRIVE POWER RENTALS. INVESTIGATORS SAY ITS 100% CROOKED AND THAT NOT ONLY DID THEY PROVIDE LUXURY CARS FOR THE CRIME TOURISTS SO THEY COULD BLEND INTO THE RITZY NEIGHBORHOODS THEY TARGETED BUT DIRECTED THEM TO THE BUSINESSES AND HOMES TO HEAD. >> NOW, PROSECUTORS SAY THE CAR RENTAL RING WAS BASED HERE IN L.A., BUT THIS ONE GROUP ALONE ALLEGEDLY DISPATCHED CRIME TOURISTS, 80 CITIES AROUND THE U.S. FOR A TOTAL OF 120 HEISTS, MILLIONS ALLEGEDLY STOLEN.

I THINK LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE, I WAS TAKEN ABACK AS I'VE LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE CASE THAT STRIKES ME LESS AS A COMPARISON. OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND MORE WITH PAST INCIDENTS WHERE YOU'VE SEEN PLATFORMS USED AS HAVENS FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. YOU KNOW, YOU GO A FEW YEARS AND YOU THINK ABOUT THE ARRESTS OF THE FOUNDERS OF MEGAUPLOAD OR THE SILK ROAD. THIS SEEMS MORE LIKE THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF LEGITIMATE, ANODYNE CONDUCT AND SPEECH GOING ON IN THESE PLATFORMS, BUT THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF NEFARIOUS ACTIVITY THAT BY ALL ACCOUNTS, PAVEL DUROV KNEW BATTERY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT AND HE DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. >> NOW, TELEGRAM REPORTEDLY HAS FEWER THAN 60 EMPLOYEES, EVEN IT HAS NEARLY A BILLION USERS. CAN THEY REALISTICALLY MODERATE CONTENT WITH THAT RATIO OF WORKERS TO USERS? >> NO, NOT AT ALL. AND IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT DUROV WAS OPEN ABOUT THE FACT THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY. I THINK HE PRIDED HIMSELF ON THE FACT THAT ENGAGED IN BASICALLY CONTENT MODERATION. THEY WOULD DO IT FROM TIME TO TIME IN RESPONSE TO PRESSURE FROM DIFFERENT FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY REALLY DIDN'T TRY TO DO MUCH AT ALL. AND THAT WORKED FOR AS LONG AS IT DID. BUT EVENTUALLY THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES GOT FED UP WITH IT AND THEY WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING. >> NOW, MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT IS CLAIMING THAT MET CEO MARK ZUCKERBERG PLOTTED AGAINST HIM DURING THE 2020 ELECTION AND A SOON TO BE RELEASED BOOK PREVIEWED TODAY POLITICO. TRUMP SAYS ZUCKERBERG TOLD HIM THERE'S NOBODY LIKE HIM ON FACEBOOK BUT STILL, QUOTE, STEERED AGAINST HIM. HE GOES ON TO SAY, QUOTE, WE ARE WATCHING HIM CLOSELY AND IF HE DOES ANYTHING ILLEGAL THIS TIME, HE WILL SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE IN PRISON. NOW, MATA HASN'T COMMENTED ON THE BOOK OR THE CLAIM, BUT HOW DO YOU SEE THIS AFFECTING HOW TECH COMPANIES REGULATE THEIR PLATFORMS DURING THIS SEASON AND IN GENERAL MOVING FORWARD, ESPECIALLY AFTER ZUCKERBERG'S CLAIMS ABOUT HAVING TO SUPPRESS CERTAIN INFORMATION UNCOVERED 19 DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION? >> A GREAT QUESTION, DIANE. LETTER TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE YESTERDAY WHERE HE REALLY TOOK A TONE THAT, YOU KNOW, HE'S TIRED OF THE CONTROVERSY. HE'S TRYING TO GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT SO THEY KIND OF BACK DOWN. HE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT HE MADE TO ELECTION INFRASTRUCTURE IN PAST YEARS WOULD HAVE BEEN NONCONTROVERSIAL, NONSTARTERS, AN ISSUE, HAVE IGNITED SO MUCH CONTROVERSY ON THE RIGHT THAT HE JUST SIMPLY SAID, I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT ANYMORE. AND I THINK WHEN IT COMES TO CONTENT MODERATION, IT'S A NEW WORLD. IT'S VERY DIFFERENT NOW THAN IT WAS IN 2020, LET ALONE 2016. AND ELON MUSK HAS SHOWN A DIFFERENT WAY. AND ZUCKERBERG WILL BE UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE TO FOLLOW THAT LEAD. HE'S ALSO GOING TO GET AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FROM THE LEFT TO ENGAGE IN SERIOUS CONTENT MODERATION. AND THEY'LL HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE. AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PATH THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE. >> SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES USED TO ARGUE THAT THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO THE TOWN SQUARE. THEY ARE JUST PROVIDING A FORUM. IT'S NOT THEIR JOB TO THEN WHO CAN AND CANNOT SPEAK THERE. DOES THAT ARGUMENT STILL STAND OR HOW? WE'VE NOW REACHED A POINT WHERE THAT'S JUST NOT LANDING ON EITHER SIDE. >> IT'S DIFFICULT TO CONCEPTUALIZE EXACTLY THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM IS A DIGITAL OF A TOWN SQUARE. ON THE ONE HAND YOU HAVE BASICALLY ANYONE CAN CREATE, ACCOUNT AND COMMENT. AT THE SAME TIME, THE SHEER VOLUME POSTS IS SO ENORMOUS THAT WE KNOW THAT THEY COULD CREATE A POST AND DETERMINE WHAT EACH PERSON SEES IF THEY DID, AND IT WOULD JUST SIMPLY BE OVERWHELMING. AND PART OF THEIR VALUE PROPOSITION IS THAT THEY'RE CURATING THESE COMMENTS IN SUCH A WAY USING VERY ADVANCED ALGORITHMS TO GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY FIND ENTERTAINING, INFORMATIVE, ETC. . SO THEY ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN DETERMINING WHAT PEOPLE SEE. IT'S NOT SIMPLY A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE POST CONTENT AND THEN IT GOES DIRECTLY TO VIEWERS. SO IT RAISES A WHOLE HOST OF ISSUES THE FIRST AMENDMENT, UNDER OUR TRADITIONS OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AND THESE ARE DIFFICULT LEGAL ISSUES AND DIFFICULT POLICY ISSUES. >> AND I THINK WE'LL BE TALKING AND FIGHTING ABOUT THEM FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. ALL RIGHT. >> WE SURE WILL. TECH FELLOW AT THE HARVARD BELFER CENTER, DOUG COLLINS. DOUG, YOU. >> COMING UP, IT AS A COMPANY HIKE AND ENDED AS A SEARCH AND RESCUE FOR AN EMPLOYEE LEFT BEHIND.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT NEW YORK CITY ON THIS THURSDAY AND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEWS TO GET TO. HERE'S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. A HEAT WAVE IN THE SOUTH EAST IS FUELING TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES AND DANGEROUS STORMS. WASHINGTON HIT 101 DEGREES YESTERDAY, BREAKING ITS DAILY RECORD. AND AT LEAST FIVE TORNADOES WERE REPORTED LAST NIGHT IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS. NOW THAN 117 MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNDER HEAT ALERTS . A FORMER NEVADA POLITICIAN IS FACING LIFE IN PRISON AFTER FOUND GUILTY OF MURDERING A JOURNALIST. A JURY CONVICTED ROBERT TILLIS OF STABBING JEFFREY GERMAN TO DEATH AFTER HE EXPOSED CORRUPTION AND TELL US HIS OFFICE PROSECUTORS PLAYED THESE SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS THEY SAY SHOW TELLER'S SUV CANVASING GERMAN NEIGHBORHOOD. TELL DRESSED IN A DISGUISE. MOMENTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE MURDER. TELL US TOOK THE STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE, INSISTING HE WAS FRAMED. NOW PROSECUTORS SAY THE GUILTY VERDICT SHOULD SEND CLEAR MESSAGE THAT ANY ATTEMPTS TO SILENCE OR INTIMIDATE JOURNALISTS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT ATTENDANTS HAVE VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY TO AUTHORIZE A STRIKE. THE UNION'S DEMANDS INCLUDE A DOUBLE DIGIT PAY RAISE, MORE FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES AND JOB SECURITY AMONG, OTHERS. THE MEDIAN PAY FOR FLIGHT ATTENDANTS IS JUST OVER $68,000, WHILE A FIRST YEAR WORKER CAN EXPECT TO MAKE 23 TO $32000. UNITED ANNOUNCED PROFITS ARE UP MORE THAN 20%. CAITLIN CLARK IS NOW THE WNBA RECORD HOLDER FOR THREE POINTERS IN A ROOKIE SEASON. CLARK SET THE NEW RECORD AS THE INDIANA FEVER BEAT THE CONNECTICUT SUN WITH GOLD MEDALISTS JOEL SIMONE BILES AND GABBY THOMAS IN THE STANDS. THE TEAM EXCITED TO MEET THE OLYMPIANS AFTER THE GAME. PARK AND THE FEVER ARE SET TO TAKE ON ANGEL REESE IN THE CHICAGO SKY TOMORROW NIGHT. >> AND LAWYERS FOR THE SUSPECT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO ARE SET TO ASK A JUDGE TO MOVE HIS TRIAL LOCATION. IN NEW COURT DOCUMENTS, THE DEFENSE SAYS THE ONLY WAY FOR BRIAN EICHELBERGER GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF IT HAPPENS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTY. PROSECUTORS SAY THEY ARE CONFIDENT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY. >> ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR KAYNA WHITWORTH HAS THE LATEST FROM MOSCOW, IDAHO. >> A PIVOTAL DAY IN COURT AS BRIAN COBRA'S LEGAL TEAM TRIES TO CONVINCE THE JUDGE IN MOSCOW TO MOVE HIS TRIAL. >> COOPER ARE HIS ATTORNEYS ARGUING IN NEW COURT DOCUMENTS THAT A MOB MENTALITY, THE COMMUNITY JUSTIFIES MOVING THE TRIAL TO A DIFFERENT SAYING THEY DID EXTENSIVE POLLING, CITING LOCAL RESIDENTS SAID IF KOHBERGER WASN'T CONVICTED, THEY'D BURN COURTHOUSE DOWN. OUTRAGE WOULD BE A MILD DESCRIPTION IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. >> IT WOULD BE CLASSIC AND SILLY, AND IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE IT. PROSECUTORS, HOWEVER, ARE CONFIDENT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY IN MOSCOW. THE PARENTS OF KAYLA GONSALVES HAVE SAID THEY'RE EAGER TO GET THE TRIAL STARTED. >> YOU WANT TO PUT THIS BEHIND YOU SO YOU CAN MOVE ON AS A FAMILY. >> I'M JUST IN LIMBO. KOHBERGER FACES MURDER CHARGES IN THE STABBING DEATHS OF GONSALVES, MADISON, MORGAN ETHAN CHAPMAN AND ZANNA KERNODLE. A NOT GUILTY PLEA HAS BEEN ENTERED ON HIS BEHALF. >> PROSECUTORS SAY THEY CAN LINK TO THE MURDERS THROUGH DNA EVIDENCE FOUND AT THE SCENE, AS WELL AS. >> SECURITY FOOTAGE AND CELL PHONE DATA. COBRA'S DEFENSE TEAM SAYS, THAT'S NOT THE CASE, CLAIMING HE WAS DRIVING AROUND ALONE THE NIGHT THE KILLINGS OCCURRED. STARGAZING IN A REMOTE PARK 40 MINUTES FROM MOSCOW. >> THIS IS WHERE BRIAN COWORKERS DEFENSE LAWYERS CLAIM THAT HE WAS ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDERS, AND THEY SAY THAT CLAIM IS SUPPORTED BY CELL PHONE DATA, INCLUDING PICTURES DEPICTING THE NIGHT SKY ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, INCLUDING NOVEMBER. >> DAVE MEEHAN, SUPERINTENDENT OF HAWAII PARK, WHO LIVES THERE YEAR ROUND SPEAKING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> DO YOU SEE PEOPLE HERE LIKE IN THE WINTER MONTHS? >> GENERALLY SPEAKING, PEOPLE DON'T COME DOWN HERE JUST TO HANG OUT. >> AS QUESTIONS SWIRL, SCHOOL IS ALSO BACK IN SESSION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO AND THE HEALING GARDEN TO HONOR THE STUDENTS HAS BEEN DEDICATED. WHEN THIS TRIAL STARTS AND IF IT'S HELD HERE IN MOSCOW, I KNOW THERE'S ALSO CONCERN ABOUT SOME OF THOSE WOUNDS BEING REOPENED. >> YEAH WE FULLY ANTICIPATE THE WOUNDS ARE GOING TO BE REOPENED. >> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SUPPORT FOR OUR STUDENTS IF THEY NEED ASSISTANCE NAVIGATING THROUGH THEM. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS SPACE IS ABOUT, TOO, IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME AND CONGREGATE TOGETHER DURING DIFFICULT TIMES . AND KAYNA WHITWORTH JOINS ME NOW FROM MOSCOW, IDAHO, ALONG WITH CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY, FORMER PROSECUTOR BERNARD HARVEY ALONA, FOR MORE. KENNY, YOU'VE BEEN COVERING THIS STORY FROM THE BEGINNING AND YOU'VE TALKED TO LOTS PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY ALONG THE WAY. SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE DEFENSE'S CLAIMS ABOUT COMMUNITY SENTIMENT TOWARD BRIAN KOHBERGER AND WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HAPPEN IN COURT TODAY? >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, DIANE, I WILL SAY THAT WHEN YOU SPEAK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS HERE, ULTIMATELY THE BOTTOM LINE, WHAT THEY WANT IS JUSTICE, BUT THEY WANT IT TO BE DONE FAIRLY AND THEY WANT IT TO BE DONE CORRECTLY. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CONTINUOUSLY HEAR FROM THE PROSECUTION AS WELL. RIGHT. THEY WANT THIS TO GO TO TRIAL ONCE AND BE DONE. THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE A LOT OF APPEALS. SO THERE'S A LOT OF DOTTING I'S AND CROSSING T'S HERE HAPPENING . THE OTHER THING, DIANE, IS THAT THEY REALLY PUSH BACK ON THIS SENTIMENT OF MOB MENTALITY. IN FACT, THEY FIND IT QUITE OFFENSIVE, ACCORDING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE I SPOKE WITH. >> BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEFENSE TEAM WILL TRY AND PROVE TODAY. THEY'LL BE CALLING SEVERAL EXPERT WITNESSES TO THE STAND, INCLUDING A SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGIST. AND DIANE, THIS IS A PERSON WHO TRULY BELIEVES THIS SURVEY CONDUCTED BY THE DEFENSE TEAM SHOWS A CLEAR BIAS HERE, LAKE COUNTY. AND THIS WILL REITERATE THEIR CLAIM THAT BRIAN KOHBERGER CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL HERE AS THEY TRY TO MOVE IT TO ADA COUNTY IN BOISE, WHERE THEY SAY THE RESPONSES TO THAT SURVEY, DIANE, WERE JUST LESS EMOTIONAL. SO, BERNARDO, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT ARGUMENT. THE DEFENSE IS SAYING THERE'S A MOB AND A PRESSURE TO CONVICT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SO IS ENOUGH TO MOVE A TRIAL. >> AND IF NOT, HOW CAN KOHBERGER GET A FAIR TRIAL IF THEY DON'T MOVE IT? SO THE DEFENSE, OF COURSE, IS GOING TO ARGUE THAT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY, A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL TRIAL INSIDE OF THAT COUNTY. BUT THE TEXAS GOING TO BE WHAT THE JUDGE IS GOING TO DETERMINE IS QUESTIONING THESE POTENTIAL JURORS, BECAUSE THE DEFENSE, WHILE THEY SAY, YES, EVERYONE THAT THEY'VE SPOKEN, BUT DID THEY SPEAK TO EVERY POTENTIAL JUROR? A JUDGE WASN'T ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO THOSE POTENTIAL JURORS? THE PROSECUTION WASN'T ALLOWED SPEAK TO THOSE POTENTIAL JURORS. THEY ARE BASING THEIR ARGUMENT A SURVEY. WHEN IT COMES TO JURY SELECTION, IT'S NOT WHETHER YOU HEARD ABOUT THE CASE. IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER YOU HEARD ABOUT BRIAN COLD BURGER. IT'S MORE OF CAN YOU BE A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY? CAN YOU DETERMINE THE EVIDENCE AND THE FACT BASED ON WHAT'S PRESENTED INSIDE OF THAT COURTROOM? YES. THE DEFENSE DOES HAVE A STRONG STANDING IN THE SENSE OF THIS CASE IS EMOTIONALLY FOR EVERYONE. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO GET A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY. BUT IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. AND THAT IS WHAT JURY THE JUDGE IS GOING TO DETERMINE AND THE QUESTIONING AND DOING HEARING TODAY. >> AND, BERNARDO, WHAT'S THE OPPOSING ARGUMENT IN GENERAL? WHY TRY TO HAVE IT IN THE LOCATION WHERE THE CRIMES WERE COMMITTED? WHY NOT MOVE IT IF THERE'S A QUESTION? >> WELL, THE THING IS, YOU CAN ARGUE THAT WITH EVERY TRIAL, WITH EVERY CASE THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS, OF COURSE, THIS IS A HIGH PROFILE CASE. BUT THE PEOPLE IN THAT COUNTY AND ALSO THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES DO HAVE A RIGHT THAT THE CASE IS TRIED IN THE COUNTY THAT THE CRIME ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE. YES. THIS COUNTY IS MUCH SMALLER THAN BOISE COUNTY. BUT THEN AGAIN, IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL. IF ANYTHING, THE JUDGE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAY, WELL, DO A QUESTIONNAIRE WHERE THEY'LL BE EXTENSIVELY QUESTIONED ABOUT THEIR VIEWS AND TRY TO DETECT IF THERE'S ANY BIAS OR PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS AS TO THE GUILT OF BRIAN GOLDBERGER. >> ALL RIGHT, KAYNA WHITWORTH OF VERONA, THANK YOU BOTH. AND A NEW STUDY DONATING A KIDNEY HAS NEVER BEEN SAFER. THE STUDY PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION FOUND PEOPLE WHO DONATE A KIDNEY ARE AT AN EVEN LOWER RISK OF DEATH FROM THE OPERATION THAN DOCTORS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. TRANSPLANT CENTERS HAD BEEN CITING A RISK OF THREE DEATHS PER 10,000 LIVING DONORS. BUT THIS STUDY TRACKED 30 YEARS OF LIVING KIDNEY DONATION AND FOUND BY 2022, FEWER THAN ONE IN 10,000 DONORS DIED WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF THEIR SURGERY. DR. DARIEN SUTTON JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS DR. SUTTON TRANSPLANT SURGEON WHO COAUTHORED THE STUDY SAID THAT NEWER SURGICAL ARE PART OF THE REASON THAT YOU'RE SEEING THIS SHIFT. SO DOES THAT ALSO MEAN EASIER RECOVERY FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERGO THIS SURGERY? >> OVERALL, YES. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE OVERALL NUMBERS, YES, EASIER RECOVERY. TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. NOW THEY HAVE NEW TECHNIQUES WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT OR EX PLANTED WHILE YOU'RE WIDE AWAKE IN THE VERY SIMILAR WAY THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, WOMEN HAVE CHILDREN WITH A PROCEDURE CALLED AN EPIDURAL TO NUMB. >> AND THERE'S ALSO MORE SAFETY GUIDELINES WHICH HAVE ALLOWED HOSPITALS TO BE SAFER PATIENTS AT BETTER OUTCOMES, GETTING OUT OF THE HOSPITAL QUICKER. AND FOR ME, IT'S MORE MOTIVATION TO CONVINCE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN DONATION. >> AND IT DOES SEEM THAT THAT IS WORKING BECAUSE LAST YEAR, THE NUMBER OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FROM LIVING DONORS WAS THE HIGHEST BEEN SINCE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK'S BEHIND PUSH AND SEEMINGLY MAKING MORE PEOPLE COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF DONATING? >> WELL, HOPEFULLY IT'S CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS WHERE MORE PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY AWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFE PROCEDURE AND THAT PROVIDING THAT OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE IS TREMENDOUS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATISTICS, THERE IS AN ESTIMATED HUNDRED AND 70 MILLION ORGAN DONORS. BUT I THINK WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS OUT OF THAT ONLY THREE OUT OF EVERY THOUSAND ORGAN DONORS CAN ACTUALLY DONATE AFTER DEATH. GIVEN THERE'S DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES THAT INVOLVE THAT DEATH. AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THOSE 170 MILLION, WE STILL NEED MORE. SO PARTICIPATE HATING, LOGGING ON, SEARCHING FOR ORGAN DONATION, AND FIGURING OUT HOW YOU CAN HELP IS REALLY IMPORTANT. >> THAT SAID, THIS ISN'T A KNEE DECISION. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING YOU WANT TO. JUST SAY, YEAH, SURE, YOU CAN HAVE MY KIDNEY. RIGHT? SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LONG TERM RISKS IF YOU'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE ABOUT THIS? WHAT ARE THINGS THEY HAVE TO CONSIDER BEFORE THEY MAKE THIS DECISION? >> WELL, HAVING ONE KIDNEY IS NOT A BENIGN BANG. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE BEING CAREFUL REGARDLESS, AND NUMBER ONE, MAKING SURE YOUR RISK FACTORS ARE ON POINT. AND SO CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE HYPERTENSION DIABETES, THESE INCREASE YOUR RISK OF RENAL FAILURE OR RENAL DISEASE OR KIDNEY DISEASE. AND SO YOU DON'T WANT THOSE OTHER OBSTACLES IN YOUR WAY IF YOU'RE CHOOSING TO DONATE A KIDNEY, IT GOES TO A STRICT REGIMEN AND PROTOCOL FOR PATIENTS ARE DONATING A KIDNEY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE THE HEALTHIEST THAT THEY CAN BE. >> BUT BEING SAID, YOU CAN STILL LIVE A LONG LIFE, A FRUITFUL LIFE. ONE KIDNEY. IT'S VERY POSSIBLE, VERY DOABLE. AND AGAIN, THIS IS A HARD DECISION BUT IT REALLY TAKES IN PLACE WHAT THAT PERSON IS TRYING TO DO, WHICH IS HELPING SOMEONE ELSE LIVE THEIR LIFE, WHICH IS TREMENDOUS, SAVE A LIFE IN MANY CASES. >> DR. SUTTON. >> THANKS SO MUCH, CONOR. OF COURSE. COMING UP HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE ,FIRST, A THEFT OF CARS WITH KEY FOBS ARE ON THE RISE.

IT WARMED UP. >> HE RAN BACK INSIDE, WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO THE DOG. >> WHEN I TURNED AROUND TO COME BACK OUT, THE CAR WAS GONE. BUT HE TAKEN THE KEY FOB INSIDE WITH HIM. SOMETHING HE'D DONE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. >> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT CAN START IT AND WALK AWAY FROM IT. BUT IT WON'T MOVE UNLESS THE KEY IS IN THE VEHICLE. NEVER WOULD I HAVE STARTED IT AND LEFT IT. >> HAD I KNOWN HE COULD MOVE AT LEAST SEVEN FIVE WEEK OLD BULLDOG PUPPIES WERE RECOVERED BY D.C. POLICE AFTER THE VEHICLE THEY WERE IN WAS STOLEN WHEN THE DRIVER LEFT HER CAR RUNNING TO KEEP THEM WHILE SHE QUICKLY WENT INSIDE HER APARTMENT. THEY AREN'T ALONE. THE D.C. METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT'S A PERSISTENT PROBLEM. >> YOU'LL SEE CARS RUNNING IN FRONT OF RESTAURANTS AT GAS STATIONS.

THE FIGHTING IRISH TRAVEL TO TEXAS A&M ON SATURDAY AND USC CAPS OFF THE WEEKEND WITH A PRIMETIME MATCHUP AGAINST LSU ON SUNDAY NIGHT IN DEATH VALLEY. LET'S BRING IN ESPN COLLEGE FOOTBALL ANALYST SAM ACHO FOR MORE. SAM, THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING ON. LET'S START WITH GEORGIA TECH. THEY STARTED OFF THE SEASON WITH A BIG UPSET OF FLORIDA STATE LAST WEEK IN DUBLIN. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE SEMINOLES? PLAYOFF HOPES AND HOW DO YOU THINK THE NEW 12 TEAM PLAYOFF SITUATION CHANGES THE EQUATION? >> THE SEMINOLES, THE FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES PLAYOFF HOPES ARE STILL ALIVE. THE REASON WHY IS THAT WE JUST WENT FROM A FOUR TEAM PLAYOFF TO A 12 TEAM PLAYOFF. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THE FOUR HIGHEST RATE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS WILL STILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. SO FLORIDA STATE STILL IN THE SCC, THEY COULD WIN THEIR CONFERENCE STILL EVEN WITH A LOSS AND MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. NOT ONLY THAT THEY'D HAVE A FIRST ROUND BYE WEEK. NOW LET'S SAY FOR THEIR SAKE DOESN'T WIN THEIR CONFERENCE. WELL THE NEXT SEVEN HIGHEST RANKED AT-LARGE TEAMS OF FOUR HIGH STRAIGHT CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS ALONG WITH A GROUP OF FIVE CHAMPION MAKES IT THE NEXT SEVEN HIGHEST RANKED TEAMS STILL A CHANCE TO MAKE IT SO FLORIDA STATE'S SEASON IS NOT OVER. SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR IN THIS WEEKEND'S BIG MATCHUPS ? THE FIRST GAME I'M WATCHING FOR IS NOTRE DAME GOING TO TEXAS. WHY IS THAT? WELL, NOTRE DAME IS STARTING TO NEW TACKLES. THEY HAVE A GREAT. BUT TEXAS A&M IS ONE OF THE LOUDEST PLACES TO PLAY. KYLE HAS OVER 100,000 PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE A NEW HEAD COACH AS WELL. SO STADIUM WILL BE ROCKING. AND OH, BY THE WAY, NOTRE DAME, SINCE THEY'RE NOT IN A CONFERENCE, THEY COULD STILL MAKE THE PLAYOFF, BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE IN ONE OF THOSE TOP FOUR SPOTS. >> AND WHAT OTHER TEAMS DO YOU THINK HAVE A CHANCE TO GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR? >> ANOTHER TEAM I'M LOOKING AT IS A TEAM, PENN STATE. PENN STATE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS HASN'T MADE THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE OF TEAMS LIKE OHIO STATE, MICHIGAN. THEY'RE USUALLY RANKED AHEAD OF THEM IN A 14 PLAYOFF. THAT MATTERS IN A 12 TEAM PLAYOFF. A TEAM LIKE PENN STATE A CHANCE NOT ONLY TO MAKE THE PLAYOFF, BUT ALSO WITH THIS NEW PLAYOFF FORMAT. FIRST, FOUR TEAMS HAVE A BYE WEEK. TEAMS FIVE THROUGH EIGHT HAVE A HOME GAME. AND SO PENN STATE NOT ONLY HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, BUT ALSO PLAY AT HOME. >> AND THAT COLD WEATHER COULD BE GREAT NEWS FOR PENN STATE FANS. NOW, SANDERS AND COLORADO HAVE A LOT OF HYPE GOING INTO THIS SEASON. THEY'RE TO FACE FCS POWERHOUSE NORTH DAKOTA STATE TONIGHT ON ESPN. >> WHAT'S AT STAKE FOR THEM IN THIS GAME? OH, THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE FOR COACH PRIME AND THE COLORADO BUFFALOES. THIS NORTH DAKOTA STATE TEAM IS AN EXTREMELY FOOTBALL TEAM. NOW. COLORADO HAS ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS, REALLY TWO OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN ALL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. SCHROEDER, SANDERS, WHO'S COACH PRIME SON, HE'S A QUARTERBACK. THEN ALSO TRAVIS HUNTER REPLACED DEFENSE AND OFFENSE. THESE TWO GUYS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE TOP FIVE PICKS IN THIS NEXT YEAR'S DRAFT. BUT NORTH DAKOTA STATE HAS TWO RETURNING QUARTERBACKS WHO CAN PLAY REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL AS WELL. AND SO I'M NOT SAYING NECESSARILY IT'S UPSET ALERT, BUT COLORADO NEEDS TO BE READY. >> OKAY. WE'LL BE WATCHING ESPN COLLEGE FOOTBALL ANALYST SAM, JOE, SAM, THANKS SO MUCH. >> THANKS. >> COMING UP HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE.

HE'S BEEN RESISTING IT FOR A LONG TIME. THE MOVIE IS CALLED 72, AND IT CENTERS ON A TRANSFORMATIVE 72 HOUR PERIOD AHEAD OF A CAREER DEFINING PERFORMANCE FOR HARVEY, THE LEGENDARY APOLLO THEATER BACK IN 1993. AND THAT'S ALL ACCORDING TO DEADLINE STEVE'S SAYING. IT FOCUSES ON ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT MOMENTS IN HIS JOURNEY AND HIS CAREER AND SHOWS THE WORLD THAT HOPE IS NEVER TRULY LOST. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT WE DO WITH THIS MOVIE. SUPER EXCITED FOR THAT. HE'S HAD SUCH AN INTERESTING JOURNEY TO GET WHERE HE IS. IT'LL BE COOL TO SEE IT ALL UNFOLD IN THAT WAY. YEAH. AND YOU ARE A FAMILY FEUD FAN? I AM. I AM. SO REMEMBER THERE WAS ONE WHEN THEY ASK SOME QUESTIONS RELATED TO FALK WORDS THAT OFTEN FOLLOW PARK. AND ONE OF THE ANSWERS WAS CUBE PINE PORCUPINE. IVY WAS NOT ON THE SURVEY. IT'S THE NUMBER ONE ANSWER AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. IN OUR HEARTS, IT'S THE NUMBER ONE ANSWER. ALL RIGHT. NEXT, TEN MEDIA MOGUL SCOOTER BRAUN. NOW, APPARENTLY TESTING HIS COMEDY CHOPS AFTER RETIRING FROM MUSIC MANAGEMENT EARLIER THIS YEAR.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. I AM WAITING FOR REPUTATION. TAYLOR'S VERSION OF TEN POKING THE BEAR MAYBE LIGHTS A FIRE UNDER TAYLOR SWIFT TO RELEASE IT SOONER. I'LL TAKE IT. I'LL TAKE IT.

I'M DIAMOND SAITO. TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE TARGETING THEIR MUST WIN STATES. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS HERE WEIGHING IN ON THE RUST BELT AS PRESIDENT HARRIS FOCUSES ON GEORGIA. BUT A NEW POLL SAYS ABOUT THEIR STANDING WITH THEIR FIRST DEBATE JUST 12 DAYS AWAY. THE NEW DETAILS IN THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. WHAT ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SUSPECT'S MINDSET AND WHY HE ZEROED IN ON THAT TRUMP RALLY. AND THE FAA GROUND SPACE ROCKETS. WHAT'S BEHIND THE MOVE AND HOW IT COULD IMPACT SPACE TRAVEL? >> BUT FIRST, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND GOVERNOR TIM WALZ ARE HITTING ROAD IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF GEORGIA FOR A SECOND DAY. MEANWHILE, FORMER TRUMP IS GETTING READY TO CAMPAIGN IN MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN AND PENNSYLVANIA. IT COMES AS A NEW POLL FINDS HARRIS HAS CLOSED THE GAP WITH TRUMP IN SUN BELT SWING STATES. ABC NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS ME NOW ALONG WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS FOR MORE. WHERE ELSE? WHO IS THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN TRYING TO REACH WITH THIS BUS TOUR? YEAH, DIANE, PART OF WHAT'S SO INTERESTING IS THAT THEY DIDN'T JUST GO TO GEORGIA. THEY WENT TO A PART OF THE STATE WHERE WE OFTEN DON'T SEE DEMOCRATS CAMPAIGN. THE LAST FEW CYCLES, DEMOCRATS HAVE MADE HUGE INROADS IN THOSE SUBURBS RIGHT. ATLANTA, WE SAW A LOT OF THOSE MODERATE WOMEN IN THAT AREA, PROFESSIONALS TRYING TO LEAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN, THOSE CRUCIAL SORT OF SUBURBS. I'M THINKING LIKE FULTON COUNTY RIGHT OUTSIDE ATLANTA. BUT THIS BUS TOUR, THEY'RE TARGETING THE SOUTHERN PART OF, THE STATE. THEY'RE GOING AFTER RURAL VOTERS. THEY'RE REALLY LEANING INTO WALZ'S BACKGROUND, HIS OWN BIOGRAPHY. AS SOMEONE WHO GREW UP IN SMALL TOWN, RURAL AMERICA, IN NEBRASKA AND MINNESOTA. OBVIOUSLY ALSO, TALKING TO BLACK VOTERS, THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE SEEING A LOT OF MOVEMENT, THEIR DIRECTION IN GEORGIA. REALLY INTERESTING. NOT ONLY HAVE THE POLLS TIGHTENED, BUT OVERNIGHT WE SAW THAT FOX NEWS POLL ACTUALLY SHOWING HARRIS AHEAD OF TRUMP IN GEORGIA. THEY'RE BOASTING OF HOW THEY'VE HAD TENS, THOUSANDS OF NEW VOLUNTEERS IN THE STATE. SO REALLY, DEMOCRATS MAKING A BIG IN THESE LAST FEW MONTHS, DIANE. >> CATHERINE, WE ALSO HAVE SOME NEW ABOUT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FACING CRITICISM DURING HER RUN FOR OFFICE IN 2003. WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT? YES, SO LET'S TRAVEL BACK, I GUESS, 20 YEARS AGO. AND THIS IS WHEN HARRIS WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE, HER FIRST TIME RUNNING FOR OFFICE AS A SAN FRANCISCO D.A.. NOW, BACK THEN, SHE WAS FACING CRITICISM ABOUT INFLATING HER PROSECUTOR RECORD. SHE WAS CONFRONTED ABOUT THIS DURING A DEBATE WITH HER OPPONENT WHO SAID, HOW MANY CASES HAVE YOU PROSECUTED? SHE SAID 50. HER OPPONENT SAID, WELL, ACTUALLY, THE CAMPAIGN'S BEEN SAYING 100 AND SHE SEEMED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CRITICISM. BUT ALSO MOVED ON FROM IT AND PIVOTED DURING THAT DEBATE. BUT ALL IN ALL, THIS SHOWS AT LEAST RELATING IT TO NOW, IS THAT SHE ISN'T OBVIOUSLY MAKING THESE CLAIMS. NOW, THIS WAS DURING HER FIRST RUN FOR OFFICE, BUT HER CAMPAIGN OBVIOUSLY IS RUNNING HEAVILY ON HER PROSECUTORIAL RECORD. IT ALSO SHOWS POTENTIALLY HOW SHE MIGHT ACT IN THE UPCOMING DEBATE WHEN SHE WAS CONFRONTED WITH THIS BY HER OPPONENT AS SHE ESSENTIALLY PIVOTED AND MOVED ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. IT GIVES A LITTLE BIT OF INSIGHT INTO THAT AND HOW SHE REACTED WHEN CONFRONTED BY THAT WASN'T ACCURATE AT THE TIME. >> NOW, MARYALICE, WHAT MESSAGE IS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN TAKING THE RUST BELT AND HOW CRITICAL IS THAT REGION FOR HIM RIGHT NOW? >> LOOK, I THINK IT'S CRITICAL FOR DEMOCRATS TO HOLD WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAP. AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY INTERESTING IS IF REPUBLICANS ARE ABLE TO SORT OF WIN OVER ANY OF THOSE STATES. I MEAN, FOR A LONG TIME, DEMOCRATS TALKED ABOUT IT AS THE BLUE WALL. RIGHT. MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA PENNSYLVANIA REALLY IS SORT OF THE MUST WIN STATE FOR EITHER CAMPAIGN. I THINK THE PENNSYLVANIA MIGHT DECIDE THIS WHOLE RACE. BUT WHAT'S SO INTERESTING IS THAT TRUMP REMEMBERS IN 2016 WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO PUT A CRACK IN THAT BLUE WALL, ESPECIALLY IN MICHIGAN. AND SO WE'RE SEEING THEM REALLY DOUBLE DOWN IN THAT AREA. THEY THINK THEY HAVE A POWERFUL STORY TO TELL WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR ECONOMIC MESSAGE. TRUMP OBVIOUSLY PITCHING TARIFFS THAT HE BELIEVES WOULD HELP SORT OF ONSHORE JOBS, BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO THE COUNTRY IF ESSENTIALLY A TAX PUT ON COMPANIES THAT ARE BRINGING IN GOODS FROM OVERSEAS . THE HARRIS TEAM ARGUING THAT TARIFFS ARE OFTEN SORT OF A PRICE, A TAX THAT THAT COMPANIES PASS ON TO CONSUMERS THAT CAN ACTUALLY LEAD TO PRICES, SORT OF THEY CAN LEAD TO INFLATION, THEY CAN LEAD TO PRICE. SO AN INTERESTING SORT OF ECONOMIC SORT OF MESSAGE AND BATTLE OVER THE MESSAGE THERE. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT THIS IS THE END OF THE STORY I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE BOTH CAMPAIGNS ZERO IN ON THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY BECAUSE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ELECTORAL MAP, IT COULD DECIDE THE WHOLE RACE. AND OF COURSE, BECAUSE OF THE SORT OF BACKGROUND, THE BIOGRAPHY, AGAIN, OF THESE OF THESE CANDIDATES WE'RE SEEING WHILE WE'RE SEEING WAS LEANED INTO AS MINNESOTA ROOTS IN THE MIDWEST AND WE'RE SEEING J.D. VANCE LEAN INTO THE FACT HE GREW UP IN THE RUST BELT. >> IT'S TALKING, OF COURSE, ABOUT GROWING UP IN SMALL TOWN OHIO. AND CATHERINE, THE ARMY RELEASED A NEW STATEMENT ABOUT THE TRUMP VISIT TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, NOTING THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS MATTER CLOSED BECAUSE THEY SAY THE STAFFER WHO ATTEMPTED TO ENFORCE POLICIES HAS DECIDED NOT PRESS CHARGES. SO WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT? RIGHT. YOU SEE THAT STATEMENT THERE SAYING THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE DECIDED NOT TO PRESS CHARGES. AND THE ARMY, OF COURSE SAYS THAT BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY CONSIDER THIS MATTER CLOSED. LOOK, THIS COMES OBVIOUSLY AFTER THERE WAS AN INCIDENT REPORT FILED, ACCORDING TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. THIS WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS FILMING IN AN AREA OF THAT CEMETERY CALLED SECTION 60, WHERE RECENT VETERANS ARE BURIED. AND THERE WAS AN INCIDENT REPORTED, A AND VERBAL ALTERCATION, ACCORDING TO AT LEAST SOURCE WHO TOLD THAT TO NPR. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS DENIED THERE WAS ANY PHYSICAL ALTERCATION. BUT IN ANY EVENT, THE STAFFER HAS SAID WHO WAS ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN THIS INCIDENT THAT THEY WON'T PUSH CHARGES. THE ARMY SAYS THAT THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED. BUT OF COURSE, THE STORYLINE IS CONTINUING AS FAMILY MEMBERS OF SOME OF THOSE WHO ARE BURIED CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUT. ALL RIGHT. MARYALICE PARKS, KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANK YOU. >> AND SEPTEMBER 10TH, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE ON ABC NEWS AGAIN, THAT SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT ON ABC NEWS LIVE AND NEW NUMBERS ARE OUT FROM THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT THIS MORNING SHOWING THE U.S. ECONOMY GREW LAST QUARTER A HEALTHY 3% ANNUAL PACE. ABC NEWS CHIEF BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT JARVIS IS HERE TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR US. REBECCA, THIS IS A BIG ONE. SO WHAT DO THESE NUMBERS SAY ABOUT THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND WE MIGHT BE HEADING. WELL, THEY THEY REALLY ARE CONFIRMATION, DIANE OF MUCH OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL ECONOMY AND THE JOBS MARKET, WHICH IS TO SAY THAT THINGS ARE IN SHAPE WHEN YOU LOOK AT JOBS, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ECONOMIC, WE CONTINUE TO GROW. AND WHERE IT'S NOTABLE IS THAT CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO SPEND. CONSUMER SPENDING WAS A BIG REASON BEHIND THAT 3% GROWTH IN THE SECOND QUARTER. OF COURSE THE GDP REPORT THERE'S THERE'S THREE OF THEM THREE DIFFERENT ESTIMATES THAT ARE RELEASED. THIS IS THE SECOND THE THIRD WILL BE THE FINAL ESTIMATE. LOOKING BACK AT THAT SECOND QUARTER, YEAR OVER YEAR GROWTH, BUT ULTIMATELY, IT'S A REPEAT OF MANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS ECONOMY. OF COURSE, INFLATION IS THE OTHER PART OF THIS STORY, WHICH IS THE THING THAT CONTINUES TO WEAR ON AMERICAN BUDGETS, NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE. PRICES ARE RISING RAPIDLY ANYMORE IN MOST CATEGORIES. IT'S JUST THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHERE PRICES WERE THREE YEARS AGO VERSUS TODAY IS VERY SIGNIFICANT AND STILL WEIGHING ON FAMILY BUDGETS, EVEN WAGES HAVE ALSO BEGUN TO CLIMB OVER THAT SAME PERIOD. NOW REBECCA APPLICATIONS FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ALSO FELL MODESTLY LAST WEEK AMID HIGH INTEREST RATES. ARE THERE DECISIONS SHOULD BE CONSIDERING RIGHT NOW ABOUT THEIR OWN PERSONAL FINANCES BASED ON WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THESE NUMBERS? WELL, I WOULD SAY, FIRST OF ALL, I'M A JOURNALIST. I'M NOT A FINANCIAL ADVISER. SO IT'S IMPORTANT. KEEP THAT IN MIND. BUT HISTORY IS IMPORTANT HERE AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN, WHERE WE'RE HEADING, THE FEDERAL HAS SIGNALED THAT IT'S VERY LIKELY GOING TO DECREASE, CUT INTEREST RATES IN SEPTEMBER. SO A MONTH AWAY, WE'VE STARTED TO SEE MORTGAGE RATES DIPPING LOWER AND TRENDING LOWER, EVEN THOUGH THEIR 30 YEAR FIXED RATE MORTGAGE NOW IS IN THE 6% RANGE. WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR THAT 2 TO 3% 30 YEAR FIXED RATE MORTGAGE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET YOUR ON A FEW YEARS BACK WITH GREAT CREDIT. IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING YOU'VE BEEN SITTING ON THE SIDELINES WONDERING WHEN RATES ARE GOING TO FALL SO THAT YOU CAN GO OUT AND LOOK TO PURCHASE A HOME. IT IS SOMETHING TO KEEP MIND TO BE READY IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR THAT, BUT ALSO TO STAY WITHIN YOUR BUDGET. SECONDARILY, WHEN RATES FALL, ALSO SEE THINGS LIKE AUTO LOANS GETTING LESS EXPENSIVE. SO AUTOS MAY BE MORE AFFORDABLE FOR SOME. WE'VE ALSO SEEN AUTO, WHICH REALLY WERE SUPERCHARGED DURING THE PANDEMIC AND BEYOND. >> WE WERE STARTING TO SEE THOSE FALL A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN FINALLY, CREDIT CARD DEBT, SOMETHING YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOCUSED ON. INTEREST RATES ARE HIGH RIGHT NOW. THAT MEANS YOUR CREDIT CARD DEBT IS MORE EXPENSIVE. IT IS THE HARDEST DEBT TO GET RID OF BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE APPS FOR THE MOST PART. SO REALLY WANT TO TARGET THAT IF YOU'RE HOLDING, FOR EXAMPLE, DIANE, STUDENT LOAN DEBT MORTGAGE AND CREDIT CARD DEBT FOCUS REALLY ON THAT CREDIT CARD DEBT AND PAYING THAT OFF BECAUSE IT WILL COST YOU THE MOST OVER TIME WHILE MAKING MINIMUM PAYMENTS IN THOSE OTHER AREAS IF YOU CAN. >> ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS CHIEF CORRESPONDENT REBECCA JARVIS. >> THANKS, REBECCA. >> AND THE SUPREME COURT IS KEEPING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION STUDENT RELIEF PLAN ON HOLD FOR NOW. REPUBLICAN LED STATES CHALLENGE POLICY. BUT THE WHITE HOUSE ASKS THE SUPREME COURT TO STEP IN. NOW THE CASE GOING BACK TO A LOWER COURT AS THE LEGAL BATTLE PLAYS OUT. SENIOR CORRESPONDENT TERRY MORAN HAS THE DETAILS. >> HEY, DIANE, THIS NEW ORDER FROM THE SUPREME COURT PREVENTS PRESIDENT BIDEN'S LATEST EFFORT AT STUDENT LOAN DEBT RELIEF FROM GOING INTO EFFECT FOR NOW AFTER A LOWER COURT HAD BLOCKED THIS LAW FROM GOING INTO EFFECT AT ALL. THIS LEAVES MILLIONS OF BORROWERS LIMBO. THIS LATEST EFFORT BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS AMBITIOUS. MORE THAN 8 MILLION BORROWERS HAD ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE SAVE. THIS IS AN INCOME BASED PROGRAM THAT STRUCTURES MONTHLY PAYMENTS AROUND A BORROWER'S INCOME AND A FASTER PATH TO DEBT CANCELLATION. THIS PLAN IS CLEARED THE DEBT OF MORE THAN 400,000 AMERICANS. IT REQUIRES $0 PAYMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE LESS THAN AROUND $33,000 A YEAR. SO THIS PLAN STRUCK DOWN BY THAT LOWER APPEALS COURT BACK IN JUNE AFTER GROUP OF REPUBLICAN LED STATES SUED THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. THEY ARGUED THE PRESIDENT HAD EXCEEDED HIS LEGAL AUTHORITY THAT ONLY CONGRESS CAN APPROVE OF A DEBT RELIEF MEASURE OF THIS MAGNITUDE THAT THE SAME ARGUMENT THAT THE SUPREME COURT ENDORSED WHEN IT STRUCK DOWN BIDEN'S FIRST STUDENT LOAN RELIEF PROGRAM. AND THESE REPUBLICAN LED STATES, THEY SAY THAT THIS PROGRAM WOULD COST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT $475 BILLION OVER TEN YEARS. OTHER ESTIMATES ARE MUCH LOWER THAN THAT. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE HERE, SUPREME COURT HAS DECLINED TO LET THIS PROGRAM GO EFFECT WHILE THE LOWER COURT WORKS IT OUT. THIS CASE COULD COME BACK TO THE JUSTICES AS EARLY AS THIS FALL. >> DAN SENOR, NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT TERRY MORAN, THANK YOU. AN FBI WATCHDOG IS RELEASING NEW REPORT CRITICIZING THE AGENCY'S HANDLING OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL ALREADY CRITICIZED THE FBI, HIS HANDLING OF TIPS RELATED TO FORMER U.S. GYMNASTICS PHYSICIAN LARRY NASSAR. NOW, THIS NEW REPORT SUGGESTS THE FBI DIDN'T PROPERLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE. EVEN NASSAR PLEADED GUILTY TO ABUSING SEVEN GIRLS. ABC'S JACK DOCTOR JOINS ME NOW WITH THE LATEST. AND JACK, THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE U.S. GYMNASTICS CASE BUT HOW THE FBI HANDLES CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS IN GENERAL. >> THAT'S RIGHT. IN THE WAKE OF THAT NASSAR SCANDAL, THE FBI PLEDGED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD NEVER AGAIN. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL, AFTER THAT PERIOD DECIDED TO TAKE A LOOK AT MORE BROADLY AT THE FBI'S CASES IN TERMS OF CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. AND WHAT THEY FOUND NOT GOOD. OF THE 4000 CASES THAT THEY HAD DURING THE PERIOD FROM OCTOBER OF 2021 THROUGH FEBRUARY OF 2023, THEY LOOKED AT ABOUT FOUR 327 CASES OF THAT. THEY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH 42 OF THOSE CASES THAT NEEDED TO BE IMMEDIATELY. IN FACT, IN ONE OF THOSE CASES, A CHILD CONTINUED TO SUFFER FROM CHILD ABUSE FOR A PERIOD OF 15 MONTHS UNTIL AGENTS THEN WERE FORCED TO STEP IN AFTER THEY WERE NOTIFIED BY THE A.G. THAT THAT HAD BEEN OVERLOOKED. SO VERY CONCERNING PROBLEMS, VERY TROUBLING PROBLEMS FROM THE FBI. >> NOW, FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY APOLOGIZED LARRY NASSAR VICTIMS BEFORE CONGRESS IN 2021. SAYING THERE WERE PEOPLE AT THE FBI WHO HAD THEIR OWN CHANCE TO STOP THIS MONSTER, HIS WORDS, BACK IN 2015 AND FAILED. AND HE ADDED, QUOTE, IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER. MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. SO WHAT DOES THIS REPORT NOW ABOUT THE CHANGES IMPLEMENTED AT THE FBI AFTER WRAY'S APOLOGY ? >> SO AFTER HIS APOLOGY, THE FBI IMPLEMENT MORE TRAINING AND THREAT THE BUREAU FOR THESE TYPES OF CASES GOING FORWARD. ARE THEY SAY THEY'RE STRENGTHENING THEIR TRAINING AND THEY'RE STRENGTHENING THEIR COMPLIANCE . ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL FOUND WAS NOT NECESSARILY ACTION WASN'T TAKEN, BUT IN MANY CASES THEY FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THEIR OWN INTERNAL, BASICALLY PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ACTIONS THEY TOOK WERE DOCUMENTED. SO IN ABOUT 47 OF THE CASES THAT THEY REVIEWED, THEY FOUND THAT PROPER PAPERWORK OR PROPER COMPLIANCE WASN'T PRESENT. AND IN ABOUT 50% OF THE CASES, THEY COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE THAT SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES THAT CAN ALSO ASSIST IN THESE MATTERS LOCALLY CONTACTED. AND AGAIN THE FBI FOR ITS PART, SAYS SOME OF THESE ISSUES ARE COMPLIANCE ISSUES RATHER THAN BUT ACTION WAS TAKEN, BUT THEY JUST FAILED TO DOCUMENT PROPERLY. BUT CLEARLY, THE FBI IS IS THESE THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE QUITE STINGING AND THEY'RE CONCERNING. AND THE FBI IS TAKING THEM QUITE SERIOUSLY. >> ALL RIGHT. UNDERSTANDABLE. ABC'S JACK JACK, THANK YOU. COMING UP, THE FAA IS GROUNDING SPACEX ROCKETS. WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR THE ASTRONAUTS STUCK ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION. ALSO AHEAD, THE PRESSURE ON PARENTS TO VOLUNTEER AT YOUR KID'S SCHOOL.

THIS MORNING, AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. WHAT THEY BOTH WANT TO BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. NOW, FINALLY, DONALD TRUMP. WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN. KAMALA HARRIS WE COME AMERICA FACE TO FACE, HISTORIC THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS LIVE COULIBALY AND DISNEY. >> PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC LIVE. FIRST, THE FAA IS GROUNDING SPACEX'S FLEET OF FALCON NINE ROCKETS AFTER A FIERY FAILED LANDING ATTEMPT. SPACEX SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED A BATCH OF STARLINK INTERNET SATELLITES YESTERDAY, BUT WHEN THEY TRIED TO LAND THE ROCKET'S REUSABLE BOOSTER ON A BARGE OFF THE COAST, IT FIRE AND FELL INTO THE OCEAN. ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. SAM FAILED LANDINGS BY SPACEX ARE RARE AND SO ARE GROUNDING. SO HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THIS AND DID THE FAA MAKE THIS CALL? WELL, THE FAA MADE THE CALL BECAUSE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE PUBLIC REMAINS SAFE DURING THESE LAUNCHES. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. THEY ARE WAITING FOR RESULTS. DATA FROM SPACEX TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED HERE, WHY IT HAPPENED HERE, AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN AND ULTIMATELY DETERMINE IF THERE IS A PUBLIC SAFETY THREAT. WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER, THAT ROCKET TOOK OFF WITH THOSE STARLINK SATELLITES AND WHEN THAT BOOSTER WAS LANDING ON A PAD OUT IN THE WATER, IT TOPPLED OVER AND CAUGHT FIRE. OF COURSE, THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. IT'S BEEN USED MORE THAN 20 TIMES BEFORE. SO THEY'VE GOT TO FIGURE IT OUT. WHAT WRONG BEFORE THEY CAN BEGIN TO USE THOSE BOOSTERS AGAIN. >> AND SPACE X IS ALSO TRYING TO LAUNCH FOR PRIVATE ASTRONAUTS FOR FIRST EVER COMMERCIAL SPACE WALK. THIS MISSION BY POLARIS, DON, IT WAS ALREADY SCRUBBED TWICE OVER HELIUM. SO WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT MISSION, WHICH WOULD MAKE HISTORY ONCE IT HAPPENS? >> WELL, THAT MISSION LIKELY WILL BE ON HOLD FOR QUITE SOME TIME. NOW. THERE WAS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO LAUNCH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT THAT LIKELY WON'T HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE FAA GROUNDING AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT'S TO TAKE TO GET THAT DATA TO THE FAA AND THEN, OF COURSE, GET A PLAN IN PLACE AND APPROVED BY THE FAA FOR LAUNCH.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS LIVE ,HULU AND DISNEY PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA? WE ARE PART OF AN OPERATION. IT'S OUR COMBAT OPERATIONS. WE'RE APPROACHING THE GATE. MILITANTS CAME IN FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. NUCLEAR REACTOR RECEIVED A COUPLE OF LOADED AND READY TO GO. THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED, BUT THE FLAG, YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT MADE THE USA GREAT WORK, RIGHT? >> THANK YOU, DAVID. I'M DAVID MUIR. YOU ARE HERE EVERY NIGHT. >> ABC'S WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR IS AMERICA'S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST AND I AM DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS . FIRST, THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE TARGETING THEIR MUST WIN STATES. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THROWING IN ON THE RUST BELT THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FOCUSES ON GEORGIA. BUT A NEW POLL SAYS ABOUT THEIR STANDING WITH THEIR FIRST DEBATE JUST 12 DAYS AWAY. NEW DETAILS THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. WHAT AGENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SUSPECT'S MINDSET AND WHY HE ZEROED IN ON THAT TRUMP RALLY. THE HIGH STAKES HEARING FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER SUSPECT. WHY BRIAN BERGER'S LEGAL TEAM IS ARGUING TO MOVE HIS TRIAL TO ANOTHER COUNTY. AND THE TSA IS BRACING FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND TRAVEL, WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT THE COUNTRY'S BUSIEST AIRPORTS. AND THE BEST AND WORST TIMES TO HIT THE ROAD. >> BUT FIRST, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, GOVERNOR TIM WALZ ARE HITTING THE ROAD IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF GEORGIA FOR A SECOND DAY. MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GETTING READY TO CAMPAIGN IN MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN AND PENNSYLVANIA. IT COMES AS A NEW POLL FINDS HARRIS HAS CLOSED THE GAP WITH TRUMP IN THE SUNBELT SWING STATES. ABC NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THAT. >> BRIANNA'S, WHO IS THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN TRYING TO REACH WITH THIS BUS TOUR? YEAH, THEY SEE GEORGIA AS REALLY FERTILE GROUND. THEY'VE SEEN TRUMP REALLY STRUGGLE WITH EVEN REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN THAT STATE . THEY'VE SEEN HOW MANY NEW PEOPLE AND YOUNG WORKING PROFESSIONALS HAVE TO GEORGIA IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. >> AND LAST, THEY'RE MAKING A BIG PUSH EVEN FOR RED RURAL AREAS OF THE STATE LEANING INTO WALZ'S OWN ROOTS. COMING FROM A SMALL RURAL TOWN IN NEBRASKA, THEN MINNESOTA, AND ALSO TALKING SPECIFICALLY TO BLACK VOTERS OUTSIDE OF THOSE URBAN CENTERS. LOOK, THE POLLS, LIKE YOU SAID THERE IN THE INTRODUCTION, HAVE BEEN TIGHTENING IN SOME OF THESE PLACES ARIZONA, NEVADA, BUT EVEN GEORGIA. FOR A WHILE. TRUMP WAS REALLY ENJOYING QUITE A BIG LEAD IN THAT STATE. AND OVERNIGHT, WE SAW A FOX NEWS POLL THAT ACTUALLY PUT HARRIS UP. SO, LOOK, WE KNOW THAT BIDEN EKED OUT THAT STATE BY UNDER 12,000 VOTES IN 2020, AND DEMOCRATS WERE NOT SURE WHETHER THEY COULD KEEP IT. BUT IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THEY ARE REALLY DOUBLING DOWN THERE. ONE LAST THING. THE HARRIS TEAM IS BOASTING OF OVER 30,000 NEW VOLUNTEERS THOSE THAT THEY CLAIM HAVE SIGNED UP TO JOIN HARRIS' TEAM, VOLUNTEERING FOR THEM IN GEORGIA. SO LIKE I SAID, THEY FEEL GOOD ABOUT ODDS THERE AND THEY ARE REALLY SPENDING TIME AND MONEY TO TRY TO SEE IF THEY CAN KEEP THAT STATE BLUE. >> AND MARY, IS THERE CAMPAIGNING DIFFERENTLY THERE FROM THE WAY PRESIDENT BIDEN DID FOUR YEARS AGO. >> WHY IS THAT? YEAH, WELL, THEY'RE TALKING TO RURAL VOTERS. >> LIKE I SAID, THAT'S INTERESTING. THEY'RE REALLY LEANING INTO WALZ'S BACKGROUND BIOGRAPHY, SORT OF WHAT HE BRINGS TO THIS TICKET AS SOMEONE WHO HIMSELF FROM A SMALL RURAL TOWN. BUT THEY'RE ALSO TALKING SPECIFICALLY TO VOTERS. YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING BACK TO THE CONVENTION, THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, CHICAGO, JUST LAST WEEK, THEY HAD THE FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA A REPUBLICAN TAKE THE STAGE, AND HE MADE A DIRECT APPEAL TO. HE SAID THAT YOU WERE BEING A PATRIOT, ESSENTIALLY TO VOTE FOR HARRIS, THAT THEY SORT OF EXPERIENCED FIRST HAND IN GEORGIA. WHAT HE SAID WAS SORT OF DISQUALIFYING ACTIONS FROM, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TO TRY TO GET ELECTION OFFICIALS TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS IN GEORGIA. AND IT WAS VERY INTERESTING HOW MANY REPUBLICANS IN THAT STATE HAVE COME OUT AND SPOKEN OUT REALLY PERSONALLY, REALLY POWERFULLY AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. AND SO ALL OFHIS COMBINED, LIKE I SAID, DEMOCRATS REALLY FEEL LIKE SEE AN OPENING NOT ONLY TO TALK TO RURAL VOTERS THEY DON'T NORMALLY TALK TO, BUT TALK SPECIFICALLY TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS THERE IN GEORGIA, WHO THEY MIGHT BE REALLY FRUSTRATED BY WHAT TRUMP DID AFTER THE LAST ELECTION. >> SO WHAT IS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN TAKING TO THE RUST BELT AND HOW CRITICAL IS THAT REGION FOR HIM? >> THAT REALLY CRITICAL. I MEAN, DEMOCRATS WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS AS THE BLUE WALL. OBVIOUSLY, IN 2016, WE SAW TRUMP PUT CRACKS IN THAT BLUE WALL. IT'S INTERESTING. WE'RE SEEING REPUBLICANS LEAN INTO J.D. VANCE'S OWN BIO TALK ABOUT HOW HE GREW IN OHIO, TALK ABOUT HIS PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH MANUFAC SHRINK TOWNS THAT WERE HIT HARD SORT OF IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 2000. HE TALKS HEAVILY ABOUT HOW HE DOESN'T THINK THAT TRADE AGREEMENTS, GLOBAL TRADE AGREEMENTS, HELPED THOSE TOWNS . HE TALKS ABOUT HOW TRUMP IS PUSHING FOR TARIFFS, SORT OF A TAX ON COMPANIES THAT BRING IN GOODS FROM OVERSEAS THAT TRUMP ADVANCED REALLY BELIEVE THAT THAT WOULD HELP BOOST AMERICAN. SO THEY'RE YES, LEANING IN AND THEIR CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE ON PLACES LIKE MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, OF COURSE. NOW IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW LONG THEY STAY IN THOSE STATES, HOW MANY DAYS THEY DEVOTE TO THOSE STATES. AND, OF COURSE, WE IMAGINE THAT THE TRUMP HARRIS SORRY, THAT THE HARRIS-WALZ TICKET WILL ALSO OF RETURN BACK TO THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY AS WELL IN THESE FEW STATES COULD DECIDE THE WHOLE ELECTION. >> ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, MARYALICE PARKS, THANK YOU. 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 AT 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> MEANWHILE, THE FBI IS UNVEILING NEW DETAILS, THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. INVESTIGATORS SAY WORTH OF ONLINE ACTIVITY SHOWS THE SUSPECT WAS OBSESSED WITH COMMITTING VIOLENT ACT. ABC'S CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN HAS THE LATEST. >> THIS IS THE ASSAULT STYLE RIFLE. FBI SAYS THOMAS MATTHEW CROOKS USED TO TRY TO KILL FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP LAST MONTH. THE AGENCY IS SHARING THESE AFTER SIX WEEKS OF INVESTIGATING THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION, SHOWING THE GUN DISASSEMBLED AND THE BACKPACK DISCOVERED AT THE. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE SEEING AN IMAGE OF THE TWO EXPLOSIVE DEVICES FOUND INSIDE THE SHOOTER'S CAR AND THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. THEY SAY HE USED TO CLIMB ONTO ROOF. >> TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED . BUT AFTER SIFTING THROUGH FIVE YEARS WORTH OF ONLINE, FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS HAVE FOUND NO CONSISTENT POLITICAL. NO EVIDENCE HE WAS DIRECTED BY A FOREIGN ENTITY AND NO COCONSPIRATORS. AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING INDICATE WHY HE TRIED TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP ON JULY 13TH, FIRING AT LEAST EIGHT SHOTS AND KILLING 50-YEAR-OLD FIREFIGHTER COREY COMPERATORE. >> HERE HE IS, BECAUSE INSTEAD THE FBI SAID THE SHOOTER HAD BEEN ENGAGED IN A, QUOTE, SUSTAINED, DETAILED EFFORT TO PLAN AN ATTACK ON SOME EVENT MAKING MORE THAN 60 SEARCHES RELATED TO DONALD TRUMP BUT ALSO TO PRESIDENT BIDEN IN THE MONTH PRIOR WHEN THIS EVENT WAS ANNOUNCED. >> THE TRUMP RALLY WAS ANNOUNCED EARLY IN JULY. HE BECAME FOCUSED ON THAT SPECIFIC EVENT AND LOOKED AT IT AS A TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY. >> AMONG HIS SEARCHES, WHEN IS THE DNC CONVENTION? WHEN IS THE RNC 2024. AND HOW FAR WAS OSWALD KENNEDY A REFERENCE TO THE 1963 ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY BY LEE HARVEY OSWALD? >> THE SHOOTER'S TROUBLING SEARCH HISTORY GOES BACK SOME FIVE YEARS, INCLUDING A SEARCH THAT HE CONDUCTED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019 ON, QUOTE, HOW TO MAKE A FERTILIZER BOMB. BUT AGAIN, NO CLEAR MOTIVE IN ANY OF HIS SEARCHES BEYOND THE APPARENT DESIRE TO TAKE PART IN KIND OF A MASS CASUALTY EVENT OR A MASS SHOOTING. THIS INVESTIGATION, HOWEVER, CONTINUES. DIANE. >> ABC'S CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL. THANKS, JOHN AND A NEW STORM SYSTEM IS FORMING RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF SEVERE WEATHER IN THE MIDWEST. THIS AS THE SOUTH AND EAST COAST BRACE FOR TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES. ABC NEWS CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE HAS MORE ON WHY THE HEAT IS FUELING SEVERE STORMS. >> ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS MOVING EAST AFTER PUMMELING THE NORTHERN PLAINS IN. NEW VIDEO OF DAMAGE FROM THE FIRST ROUND OF STORMS. THIS HOME SLICED BY DOWNED TREES. A DRONE CAPTURING TWO TRUNKS, SHREDDING THE HOUSE. >> MORE THAN 100,000 CUSTOMERS IN THAT STATE STILL WITHOUT POWER. >> OH, MY GOSH. AND LAST NIGHT IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS, AT LEAST FIVE REPORTED TORNADOES. THIS VIVID ROTATION RIPPING ACROSS THE FIELDS NEAR MOUNT CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA. THOSE STORMS BREAKING UP THE HEAT. MORE THAN 17 MILLION AMERICANS STILL UNDER HEAT ALERTS. >> STAY COOL, EVERYBODY. THE HEAT INDEX IN PHILADELPHIA WAS NEAR 100 DEGREES WEDNESDAY. FOOD TRUCK WORKERS LIKE MANUEL ESTRADA DE LA DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO BEAT THE HEAT. >> WE HAVE TWO FANS AND DAY, SO WE RALLY IT WITH THEM. >> WE PUT SOME WATER AND THE COOLER. WASHINGTON, D.C. BREAKING ITS DAILY RECORD, HITTING 101 DEGREES. >> IT'S BEEN BRUTALLY HOT TODAY. WE'VE WE'VE BEEN DRINKING A LOT OF WATER. >> SOME SCHOOLS IN THE NORTHEAST DISMISSING STUDENTS EARLY DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AND LIMITED AIR CONDITIONING WHERE WE CAME IN THE TEACHERS TOLD US, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EARLY DISMISSALS. >> IT'S TOO HOT FOR ME IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. TEMPERATURES OVER 90 FOR FOUR DAYS IN A ROW. >> THE CITY OPENING COOLING CENTERS. >> WE COULD SEE MORE RECORDS TODAY LIKE NASHVILLE. SO WE STILL HAVE HEAT ALERTS IN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. GREENWOOD MISSISSIPPI 103, PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, WAS 99. EVEN IN ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA, YOU WERE AT RECORDS THERE. SO WE WILL SEE MORE DAILY RECORDS. THERE ARE HEAT ADVISORIES MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA, NORTH CAROLINA, UP TO CINCINNATI, WHERE IT'LL FEEL LIKE 99 DEGREES. SO ALMOST 100. BUT A TASTE AUTUMN FOR SO MANY FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN BAKING HERE. THE TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNINGS, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT WILL GO AS LOW AS 58 BY TUESDAY MORNING IN NEW YORK CITY, RALEIGH INTO THE 60S. THAT'LL FEEL SUPER FRESH AS A LOT OF KIDS ARE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK. IT'LL FEEL LIKE IT. AND THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THAT BIG DIVISION OF COLD AND WARM, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SEVERE STORMS. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'LL SEE TODAY. IF THIS AFTERNOON, EVENING. IF YOU'RE IN THE TWIN CITIES, IF YOU'RE TRAVELING IN IOWA, NOTICE AND WESTERN WISCONSIN AS WELL. DAMAGING WIND IS THE MAIN HAZARD, BUT THEY DO HAVE A RISK OF TORNADOES, TOO. SO STRONG STORMS STICK AROUND FROM ST. LOUIS RIGHT THROUGH NORTHWEST INDIANA INTO MID-MICHIGAN ON FRIDAY. AND THEN ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, YOU START TO BLOW THESE UP. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE LABOR DAY WEEKEND PLANS. WEST VIRGINIA ON SATURDAY PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YORK. JUST WATCH AS THIS LINE BLOWS THROUGH IN THE LATER AND EVENING. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'LL BE WATCHING. ABC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE, THANK YOU.

ABC'S STEPHANIE RAMOS HAS THE BEST TIME FOR YOU TO HIT THE ROAD AND SKIES AS THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY APPROACHES. TRAVEL IS RAMPING UP. LET'S START WITH THE SKIES. THE TSA IS GEARING UP TO SCREEN MORE THAN 17 MILLION TRAVELERS FROM NOW UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY. BUSIEST AIRPORTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ATLANTA, CHICAGO O'HARE AND DALLAS WORTH. MAJOR INTERNATIONAL HUBS LIKE JFK RIGHT HERE IN NEW YORK CITY. AND DFW WILL BE BUSIEST IN THE EVENING. THE FAA TODAY TO BE THE BUSIEST DAY WITH MORE THAN 52 THOUSAND FLIGHTS FORECASTED. MAJOR AIRLINES LIKE AMERICAN UNITED, DELTA AND SOUTHWEST ARE ALL ANTICIPATING RECORD PASSENGER NUMBERS WITH AMERICAN EXPECTING 3.8 MILLION PASSENGERS. AND 2.8 MILLION. NOW, WITH THE WEATHER PLAYING A ROLE, SEEING A MIX OF CONDITIONS. SOME REGIONS MAY EXPERIENCE SCATTERED STORMS. SO TRAVELERS SHOULD KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THOSE WEATHER UPDATES. OVERALL, IT'S EXPECTED TO BE A BIT BUMPY, ESPECIALLY AROUND PEAK TRAVEL TIMES. BUT FOR THOSE HEADING THE ROADS, AVOID LEAVING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, BASICALLY TODAY AND FRIDAY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING MORNINGS ARE YOUR BEST BET FOR SMOOTHER TRAFFIC.

AND THE CIA SAYS IT HELPED DISRUPT THE TERROR PLOT AGAINST TAYLOR SWIFT'S CONCERT IN VIENNA AUSTRIA. >> THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR SAYS THE AGENCY PASSED ON INTELLIGENCE TO AUTHORITIES EUROPE LEADING TO THE ARREST OF THREE SUSPECTS. HE ALSO SAYS THE THWARTED PLOT WAS INTENDED TO KILL, QUOTE, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. ABC'S JACK DOHERTY JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE ON THAT. SO JACK, WHAT'S THE CIA SAYING HERE ABOUT THE DEGREE OF ITS INVOLVEMENT. >> WELL, THE CIA WAS ABLE TO CULTIVATE SOME INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION THAT SAID THAT BASICALLY THEY FOUND THAT THEY WERE TARGETING THIS TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT, THAT THEY WANTED TO KILL LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, TENS OF THOUSANDS POTENTIALLY. AND THE PLOT WAS QUITE SERIOUS. THEY PASSED THAT INFORMATION ALONG AND WERE ABLE TO HELP THE ISRAELI AUSTRIAN AUTHORITIES GATHER, AFFECTED ARREST AND DISRUPT THE PLOT. THE CONCERN COURSE HAD TO BE CANCELED, BUT THE INCIDENT NEVER OCCURRED IN TERMS OF A TERRORIST INCIDENT AND. >> THEY CONSIDER THIS A VERY GOOD DAY, THAT THE SYSTEM WORKED. SO, JACK, WHAT MORE ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT WHY THIS TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT WAS TARGETED OR HOW THE CIA HAD THIS INFORMATION ABOUT THE ALLEGED PLOT? >> WELL, THE PLOT BELIEVED TO BE ASSOCIATED, ISI'S KAY, ISI'S KAY HAS BEEN SORT OF PUSHING OUT INFORMATION GLOBALLY TO INSPIRE WHEREVER PEOPLE WHO HEAR THESE INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGES FOR ISI'S, KAY CAN CAN EXECUTE THEM . THEY WANT TARGETS TO BE HIGH PROFILE EVENTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE WHERE THEY CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT AND A LOT OF ATTENTION. AND SO WHEN THE CIA LEARNED ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, THEY TOOK ACTION QUICKLY TO TRY TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION AND TRY TO THWART THIS ATTACK. >> AND SO HOW IS THE CIA WORKING WITH OTHER INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES NOW TRY TO PREVENT OTHER POTENTIAL ATTACKS? >> WELL, THE CIA CONTINUES TO HAVE GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THEY WORK THROUGH OTHER PARTNERS IN THE UNITED STATES, THROUGH THE FBI AND OTHERS WHO HAVE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS AS WELL. AND THE U.S. INTELLIGENCE ALSO DEPENDS ON OTHER INTERNATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES FROM OTHER NATION TO HELP THEM AS WELL. SO THIS INFORMATION SHARING HAS BEEN SORT OF THE BACKBONE OF INTELLIGENCE GATHERING GLOBALLY REALLY IN THE POST SINCE THE POST-9-11 ERA. AND IT CONTINUES TO BE A LARGE PART OF TRYING TO PROTECT THE U.S. FROM TERROR AND ALSO ITS PARTNERS. >> ALL RIGHT, JACK DOUGHERTY IN WASHINGTON FOR JACK, THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, THE SURGING CRIME, THE SURGING TREND, RATHER, OF CRIME. WHAT THE FBI IS SAYING ABOUT SUSPECTS ALLEGEDLY USING A CAR RENTAL AS THEIR COVER. ALSO AHEAD, THE FOUNDER OF TELEGRAM NOW FACING CHARGES IN FRANCE.

KK TO ABC NEWS LIVE FOR SIX FOREIGN NATIONALS HERE IN POLICE CUSTODY AFTER A MAJOR BUST OF AN ALLEGED CRIME RING. PROSECUTORS SAY THE SUSPECTS WERE IN A CAR RENTAL BUSINESS THAT CATERED TO CRIMINALS WHO TRAVELED TO THE US TO BURGLARIZE HOMES. >> CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN HAS MORE. HEY DIANE, YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS PROSECUTORS HAVE NOTICED THIS SURGING TREND OF CRIME, TOURISM, PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL TO THE U.S. FROM COUNTRIES WHERE THEY CAN EASILY OBTAIN TOURISM VISAS TO COMMIT BURGLARIES, THEN HEAD HOME. SO IN A SIX YEAR INVESTIGATION, THEY WENT AFTER WHAT THEY CALLED A CAR SERVICE FOR THE THIEVES. THE COMPANY GOING UNDER THE NAME DRIVE POWER RENTALS. INVESTIGATORS SAY ITS CLIENTELE 100% CROOKED AND THAT NOT ONLY DID THEY PROVIDE LUXURY CARS FOR THE CRIME TOURISTS SO THEY COULD BLEND INTO THE RITZY NEIGHBORHOODS THEY TARGETED BUT DIRECTED THEM TO THE BUSINESSES AND HOMES TO HIT. PROSECUTORS SAY THE CAR RENTAL RING WAS BASED HERE IN L.A.. >> BUT THIS ONE GROUP ALONE ALLEGEDLY DISPATCHED CRIME TOURS TO, 80 CITIES AROUND THE U.S. FOR A TOTAL OF 120 HEISTS, MILLIONS ALLEGEDLY STOLEN. SUSPECTS CHARGES INCLUDING WIRE FRAUD, MONEY LAUNDERING. THEY COULD SPEND DECADES PRISON IF CONVICTED, BUT THEY HAVEN'T ENTERED A PLEA YET. THE FBI HERE SAYING THIS IS JUST THE START OF THEIR EFFORT TO TAKE BURGLARY, TOURISM. >> DIANE? ALL RIGHT. CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT GUTMAN, THANK YOU. AND THE FOUNDER OF TELEGRAM IS NOW BANNED FROM, LEAVING FRANCE AS HE FACES CHARGES FOR ALLEGEDLY ALLOWING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY ON HIS MESSAGING APP. A LAWYER FOR PAVEL DUROV SAYS HE'S THE DECISION TO CHARGE HIM WITH AIDING AND ABETTING CRIMES. ABSURD. THE CASE IS IGNITING A GLOBAL DEBATE OVER FREE SPEECH. TECH FELLOW AT THE HARVARD BELFER CENTER AND FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF TO SENATOR AMY KLOBUCHAR. DOUG COLLINS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. DOUG, THANKS FOR COMING ON. YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SEVERE ACTIONS EVER TAKEN AGAINST A SOCIAL MEDIA CHIEF. SO WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS INDICTMENT? >> SO, DAN, IT IS SURPRISING TO SEE A CEO ARRESTED FOR ON HIS PLATFORM. I THINK LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE, I WAS TAKEN ABACK AS I'VE LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE CASE, THAT STRIKES ME LESS AS A COMPARISON WITH OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND MORE WITH PAST INCIDENTS WHERE WE'VE SEEN PLATFORMS USED AS HAVENS FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. KNOW, YOU GO BACK A FEW YEARS AND YOU THINK ABOUT THE ARRESTS OF THE FOUNDERS OF MEGAUPLOAD OR THE SILK ROAD. THIS SEEMS LIKE THAT THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF LEGITIMATE, ANODYNE CONDUCT AND SPEECH GOING ON IN THESE PLATFORMS, BUT THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF NEFARIOUS ACTIVITY THAT ALL ACCOUNTS. PAVEL DUROV NEW BATTERY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT, AND HE DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. >> NOW, TELEGRAM REPORTEDLY HAS FEWER THAN 60 EMPLOYEES, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NEARLY A BILLION USERS CAN REALISTICALLY MODERATE CONTENT WITH THAT RATIO OF WORKERS TO USERS. >> NO, NOT AT ALL. AND IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT DUROV WAS OPEN ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY. I THINK HE PRIDED HIMSELF ON FACT. THEY ENGAGED IN BASICALLY NO CONTENT MODERATION. THEY WOULD DO IT FROM TIME TO TIME IN RESPONSE TO PEER PRESSURE FROM DIFFERENT FROM DIFFERENT. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY REALLY DIDN'T TRY TO DO MUCH AT ALL. AND THAT WORKED FOR AS LONG AS IT DID. BUT EVENTUALLY THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES GOT FED UP WITH IT AND DECIDED THEY'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING. >> NOW, MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CLAIMING THAT MET CEO ZUCKERBERG PLOTTED AGAINST HIM DURING THE 2020 ELECTION IN A SOON TO BE RELEASED BOOK PREVIEWED TODAY IN POLITICO. TRUMP ZUCKERBERG TOLD HIM THERE'S NOBODY LIKE HIM ON FACEBOOK, BUT STILL, QUOTE, STEERED AGAINST HIM. HE GOES ON TO SAY, QUOTE, WE WATCHING HIM CLOSELY AND IF HE DOES ANYTHING ILLEGAL THIS TIME, HE WILL SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE PRISON. NOW, MEDIA HASN'T COMMENTED ON THE BOOK OR THE. BUT HOW DO YOU SEE THIS AFFECTING HOW TECH COMPANIES REGULATE THEIR PLATFORMS DURING THIS ELECTION SEASON? AND IN GENERAL MOVING FORWARD, ESPECIALLY AFTER ZUCKERBERG'S CLAIMS ABOUT TO SUPPRESS CERTAIN INFORMATION ON COVID 19 DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION? >> A GREAT QUESTION, DIANE. AND YOU SAW IN ZUCKERBERG'S LETTER TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE YESTERDAY WHERE HE REALLY TOOK A TONE THAT, YOU KNOW, HE'S TIRED CONTROVERSY, HE'S TRYING TO GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT, SO THEY KIND OF BACK DOWN. HE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT HE MADE TO ELECTION INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH IN PAST YEARS WOULD HAVE BEEN NON-CONTROVERSIAL, NONPARTISAN ISSUE HAVE IGNITED SO MUCH CONTROVERSY ON THE RIGHT THAT HE JUST SIMPLY SAID, I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT ANYMORE. AND I THINK WHEN IT COMES TO CONTENT MODERATION, IT'S A NEW WORLD, IT'S VERY DIFFERENT NOW THAN IT WAS IN 2020. LET ALONE IN 2016. AND ELON MUSK HAS SHOWN A DIFFERENT WAY. AND ZUCKERBERG WILL BE UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE TO FOLLOW THAT LEAD. HE'S ALSO GOING TO GET AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FROM THE LEFT TO ENGAGE IN MORE SERIOUS CONTENT MODERATION. AND THEY'LL HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE. AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PATH THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE. >> SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES USED TO ARGUE THAT THEY EQUIVALENT TO THE TOWN SQUARE. THEY ARE JUST PROVIDING A FORUM. IT'S NOT THEIR JOB TO THEN DETERMINE WHO CAN AND CANNOT SPEAK THERE. DOES THAT ARGUMENT STILL STAND OR HOW? WE'VE NOW REACHED A POINT WHERE THAT'S JUST LANDING ON EITHER SIDE? >> IT'S DIFFICULT TO CONCEPTUALIZE EXACTLY THE EXTENT TO WHICH A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM IS, A DIGITAL EQUIVALENT OF A TOWN SQUARE. ON THE ONE HAND, YOU HAVE BASICALLY ANYONE CAN CREATE ACCOUNT AND COMMENT AT THE SAME TIME. SHEER VOLUME OF POSTS IS SO ENORMOUS THAT WE KNOW THAT THEY CURATE THE POST AND DETERMINE WHAT EACH PERSON SEES. IF THEY DID AND IT WOULD JUST SIMPLY BE OVERWHELMING AND PART OF THEIR VALUE PROPOSITION IS THAT THEY'RE CURATING THESE COMMENTS IN SUCH A WAY USING VERY ADVANCED ALGORITHMS TO GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY FIND ENTERTAINING, INFORMATIVE, ETC.. SO THEY ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN DETERMINING WHAT PEOPLE SEE. IT'S NOT SIMPLY A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE POST CONTENT AND THEN IT GOES DIRECTLY TO VIEWERS. SO IT RAISES A WHOLE OF ISSUES UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT, UNDER OUR TRADITIONS OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AND THESE ARE DIFFICULT LEGAL ISSUES AND DIFFICULT POLICY ISSUES. AND I THINK WE'LL BE TALKING AND FIGHTING ABOUT THEM FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. >> ALL RIGHT. WE SURE WILL. TECH FELLOW AT THE HARVARD BELFER CENTERCOMMODORE'S DOUG, THANK YOU. NEXT, COMING UP, IT STARTED AS A COMPANY HIKE AND ENDED AS A SEARCH AND RESCUE FOR AN EMPLOYEE LEFT BEHIND.

POLICE SAY HE SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE WILDERNESS DURING A VIOLENT STORM AFTER HE GOT LOST DURING COMPANY HIKE. >> ABC'S TREVOR AULT HAS MORE. WHAT STARTED AS AN OFFICE HIKING RETREAT TURNED INTO A RESCUE IN COLORADO AFTER A MAN WAS LEFT BEHIND BY COWORKERS. >> OFFICIALS SAY A GROUP OF 15 PEOPLE STARTED TO CLIMB 14,000 FOOT MT. CHAUVIN EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. BUT IN WHAT MIGHT CAUSE SOME AWKWARD ENCOUNTERS AT THE OFFICE IN THE COMING DAYS AND WEEKS. ONE MEMBER OF THEIR PARTY WAS LEFT TO COMPLETE HIS FINAL SUMMIT PUSH ALONE. >> OUR SUBJECT WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE SUMMIT AND TOOK A BREAK AND. SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN HIS GROUP WERE ALREADY STARTING TO HEAD DOWN. >> HE DECIDED TO CARRY ON UP TO THE SUMMIT. ON THEIR INCIDENT REPORT, RESCUE CREWS SAY ONCE STEVE STEFANIDI STARTED TO CLIMB DOWN, BECAME DISORIENTED, CLAIMING HIS COWORKERS HAD PICKED UP THE OBJECTS THEY HAD PLACED TO MARK THE WAY BACK. SOME LOST VANITIES PIN DROPPED HIS LOCATION TO HIS COWORKERS WHO TOLD HIM HE WAS GOING THE WRONG WAY, URGING HIM TO HIKE BACK UP THE MOUNTAIN, WHICH HE DID TO REACH THE CORRECT TRAILHEAD. LATER, STEPHANIE IS SAID, IS LOCATION A SECOND TIME, BUT THEN A STRONG STORM SWEPT THROUGH AND HE LOST SERVICE JUST BEFORE 4 P.M.. HIS COWORKERS DIDN'T REPORTED MISSING UNTIL NINE. >> HE BASICALLY GOT A LITTLE BIT DISORIENTED AS TO WHERE THE TRAIL WAS. >> STEPHANIE SPENT NIGHT STRANDED ON THAT MOUNTAIN, TELLING RESCUE CREWS HE FELL AND WAS EVENTUALLY UNABLE TO GET UP. >> BEING IN THOSE OF COLD, FREEZING RAIN WINDS, IT TAKES A TOLL ON. >> IT WASN'T UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING WHEN THE WEATHER CLEARED THAT HE THANKFULLY SELF SERVICE AND CALLED 911. ALLOWING RESCUERS TO FINALLY ZERO IN ALL OF THE TEAMS THAT WERE INVOLVED ARE ALL VOLUNTEER RESCUERS. IT'S TIRING BUT IT'S REWARDING . WE GO OUT AND FIND PEOPLE AND ARE ABLE TO REUNITE THEM WITH THEIR LOVED ONES. IT'S FANTASTIC. >> AND DIANE, WE DO KNOW THIS MAN WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. WE DID REACH OUT TO HIM AND HIS SON.

I'M ELIZABETH SCHULZE WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . >> I AM DIANE MACEDO. LET'S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, A HIGH STAKES HEARING IS GETTING UNDERWAY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDERS CASE. LAWYERS FOR BRIAN KOHBERGER ARE ASKING A JUDGE TO HIS TRIAL LOCATION AND NEW COURT DOCUMENTS. THE DEFENSE SAYS, THE ONLY WAY FOR KOHBERGER TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF IT HAPPENS IN A DIFFERENT. PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE CONFIDENT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL. ABC'S ALEX STONE JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH CRIMINAL AND CIVIL ATTORNEY AND LAW PROFESSOR AT TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, DANTE MILLS. THANK YOU BOTH. ALEX, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HAPPEN IN COURT TODAY? WELL, DIANE, THIS IS ALL ABOUT WHERE THIS TRIAL IS GOING TO BE HELD. KOHBERGER IS DEFENSE TEAM. THEY SAY HE CANNOT GET A FAIR TRIAL IN LAYTON COUNTY, THAT THERE IS WHAT THEY CALL A MOB MENTALITY IN THE COUNTY. >> THEY HAVE SENT A SURVEY OUT SURVEY THAT HAS BEEN DEBATED WHERE PROSECUTORS DON'T TRUST THAT SURVEY, THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT. BUT THE SURVEY, ONE RESPONDENT RESPONDING THAT HE WOULD BURN THE COURTHOUSE DOWN IF KOHBERGER IS NOT CONVICTED AND HIS TEAM IS SAYING LOOK, HE CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL HERE. TOO MUCH MEDIA COVERAGE, TOO EMOTION. THEY WANT IT MOVED TO BOISE. BUT THE PROSECUTION TODAY IS GOING TO SAY, NO, HE CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL. HERE'S HOW CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL. >> THEY WANT TO REMAIN IN LAYTON COUNTY. DON'T THE DEFENSE IS MAKING THIS ARGUMENT BASED ON THIS SURVEY. IS THAT ENOUGH? TO WHAT DEGREE DO THEY HAVE TO PROVE THAT HE CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL IN THIS COUNTY? >> ABSOLUTELY. HAVE TO SAY JUST I'M AN ATTORNEY AND I BELIEVE IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM AND. EVERYONE HAS A PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE AND IS ENTITLED A FAIR TRIAL. >> WITH THAT BEING SAID, IN ORDER TO GET THE VENUE CHANGE, THE DEFENDANT HAS TO SHOW THAT THAT FAIR TRIAL WON'T HAPPEN WHERE IT CURRENTLY IS. BUT THEY CAN'T CREATE ISSUES AND TRY AND USE THAT THOSE CREATED ISSUES TO GET THE CASE MOVED. >> SO THIS CERTAINLY I THINK, A BAD IDEA. HOWEVER, THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC SIMPLY BASED ON THE MEDIA COVERAGE SURROUNDING THIS CASE AND PARTICULARLY FOR THIS CASE ON WHERE IT WENT UNSOLVED. AS FAR AS THE INVESTIGATION FOR A WHILE AFTER THESE MURDERS HAPPENED, THAT TOWN WAS CAPTIVATED BY THIS AND EVERYBODY FELT UNSAFE. SO IF I'M MAKING THE ARGUMENT, I'M TALKING ABOUT BACK TO THE JUDGE AND SAYING THIS TOWN FELT UNSAFE, IT WAS SHOWN AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO PUT SOMEBODY IN JAIL FOR THIS, WHETHER MY CLIENT IS GUILTY OR NOT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO GET THIS TRIAL MOVED. I'M NOT GOING TO BASED ON THAT SURVEY, I'M GOING TO BASED ON THE MEDIA AND JUST WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THIS TOWN. >> SHORTLY THE MURDERS HAPPENED AND I TRULY BELIEVE THEY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN MOVING THIS CASE BECAUSE GOING TO BE HARD TO GET A FAIR JURY THERE BASED ON HOW THIS CRIME IMPACTED THAT COMMUNITY AND DOWNSTATE PROSECUTORS SAY THEY CAN LINK KOHBERGER TO THE MURDERS THROUGH DNA EVIDENCE, SECURITY FOOTAGE AND CELL PHONE DATA. I KNOW WE WILL LEARN MORE AT TRIAL, BUT HOW STRONG DO YOU THINK THE EVIDENCE IS AT THIS POINT AND HOW IS IT THAT THE DEFENSE, HIS ALIBI IS THAT KOHBERGER DRIVING AROUND ALONE THAT NIGHT? >> WELL, IF HE CAN SHOW THAT HE WAS IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION AND YOU CAN USE CELL PHONE DATA AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO SHOW THAT, I THINK, A STRONG ALIBI. >> I ALSO KNOW THAT BASED ON WHAT'S COME OUT SO FAR IN THE INVESTIGATION AND TALKING TO PEOPLE THAT I KNOW THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE INVESTIGATION. EICHELBERGER WAS IN THAT AREA, MAY HAVE BEEN IN THAT HOUSE BEFORE. SO THAT MAY EVEN EXPLAIN SOME DNA BECAUSE THAT HOUSE HOSTED A LOT OF PARTIES THERE. SO IF I'M ARGUING FOR COLBERT, I'M SAYING HE WASN'T THERE THAT DAY. DNA CAN'T TELL TIME. AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST ISSUE THE STATE IS GOING TO HAVE SHOWING THAT COLD. KOHBERGER WAS IN THE HOUSE THE NIGHT THE MURDERS WERE COMMITTED. BUT WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT ELSE THEY HAVE AVAILABLE. KOHBERGER IS SAYING HE'S INNOCENT OF THIS CRIME AND HE PLANS TO FIGHT. AND WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT LEADS THE JURY, THAT WILL LISTEN TO THE FACTS AND SIMPLY SAY WHAT THEY BELIEVE THE EVIDENCE SHOWS. >> SO, ALEX, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR TODAY AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? WELL, WE THINK THAT'S GOING TO GO ON FOR QUITE A WHILE TODAY. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WITNESSES ARE GOING TO BE UP, INCLUDING A SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGIST TALKING, ABOUT THE SURVEY AND THE ATTITUDE IN LATE COUNTY AND JUST WHAT PEOPLE ARE BELIEVING AND WHAT THEY ARE COMING IN WITH PRECONCEIVED IDEAS. THEY WERE TO COME IN AND BE JURORS. AND THEN AT SOME POINT, THE JUDGE GOING TO RULE ON THIS, PROBABLY NOT TODAY. IT'LL PROBABLY BE A WRITTEN RULING SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD. BUT THIS JUDGE HAS TO DECIDE, CAN THERE BE A TRIAL IN L.A. COUNTY OR MOVE IT CLOSER TO BOISE AND THEN IF HE DOES MOVE IT TO BOISE, DOES HE GO WITH IT OR GIVE UP TO A LOCAL JUDGE IN THE BOISE AREA? IT SEEMS LIKE HE WOULD GO WITH IT, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DETERMINED AS WELL. >> ALL RIGHT, ALEX, DANTE MILLS, THANK YOU BOTH. >> YOU GOT IT. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND GOVERNOR TIM WALZ ARE HITTING THE ROAD IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF GEORGIA FOR A SECOND DAY. >> MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GETTING READY TO CAMPAIGN IN MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN AND PENNSYLVANIA. IT COMES AS A NEW POLL FINDS HARRIS HAS CLOSED THE GAP WITH TRUMP IN A SUNBELT STATES. ABC NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS FOR MORE. MARY WHO IS THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN TRYING TO REACH WITH THIS BUS TOUR? YEAH, DIANE, PART OF WHAT'S SO INTERESTING IS THAT THEY DIDN'T JUST GO TO GEORGIA, THEY WENT A PART OF THE STATE WHERE WE OFTEN DON'T SEE DEMOCRATS CAMPAIGN. THE LAST CYCLES, DEMOCRATS HAVE MADE HUGE INROADS IN THOSE SUBURBS RIGHT AROUND WE SAW A LOT OF THOSE MODERATE WOMEN IN THAT AREA, YOUNGER PROFESSIONALS TRYING TO LEAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THOSE CRUCIAL OF SUBURBS. I'M THINKING LIKE FULTON COUNTY RIGHT OUTSIDE ATLANTA. BUT THIS BUS TOUR, THEY'RE TARGETING THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE. THEY'RE GOING AFTER RURAL. THEY'RE REALLY LEANING INTO WALZ'S OWN BACKGROUND, HIS OWN BIOGRAPHY. AS SOMEONE WHO GREW UP IN SMALL TOWN RURAL AMERICA IN NEBRASKA AND MINNESOTA. OBVIOUSLY, ALSO TALKING TO BLACK VOTERS, THEY FEEL LIKE SEEING A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN THEIR DIRECTION IN GEORGIA. REALLY, NOT ONLY HAVE THE POLLS TIGHTENED, BUT OVERNIGHT WE SAW THAT FOX NEWS ACTUALLY SHOWING HARRIS AHEAD OF TRUMP IN GEORGIA THEY'RE BOASTING OF HOW THEY'D HAD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW VOLUNTEERS ,THE STATE. SO REALLY, DEMOCRATS MAKING A BIG PLAY IN THESE LAST FEW MONTHS. DIANE CATHERINE, WE ALSO HAVE SOME NEW REPORTING ABOUT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FACING CRITICISM DURING HER RUN FOR OFFICE IN 2003. WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT? YES, SO LET'S BACK, I GUESS, 20 YEARS AGO. AND THIS IS WHEN HARRIS WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE OR FIRST TIME RUNNING FOR OFFICE AS A SAN FRANCISCO D.A. NOW. BACK THEN, SHE WAS FACING CRITICISM ABOUT INFLATING HER PROSECUTORIAL RECORD. SHE WAS CONFRONTED ABOUT THIS DURING A DEBATE WITH HER OPPONENT WHO SAID, HOW MANY CASES HAVE YOU PROSECUTED? SHE SAID 50. HER OPPONENT SAID, WELL, ACTUALLY, THE CAMPAIGN'S BEEN SAYING 100. AND SHE SEEMED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CRITICISM, BUT ALSO MOVED ON FROM IT AND PIVOTED DURING THAT DEBATE. BUT ALL IN ALL, WHAT THIS SHOWS, AT LEAST RELATING IT TO NOW, IS THAT SHE ISN'T OBVIOUSLY MAKING THESE CLAIMS. NOW, THIS WAS DURING HER FIRST RUN FOR OFFICE, BUT HER CAMPAIGN OBVIOUSLY IS RUNNING HEAVILY ON HER PROSECUTORIAL RECORD. IT ALSO SHOWS POTENTIALLY HOW SHE MIGHT ACT IN THE UPCOMING DEBATE WHEN SHE WAS CONFRONTED WITH THIS BY HER OPPONENT, SHE ESSENTIALLY PIVOTED AND, MOVED ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. IT GIVES A LITTLE BIT OF INSIGHT INTO THAT AND, HOW SHE REACTED WHEN CONFRONTED BY SOMETHING THAT WASN'T ACCURATE AT THE TIME. >> NOW, MARYALICE, WHAT MESSAGE IS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN TAKING TO THE RUST BELT AND HOW CRITICAL IS REGION FOR HIM RIGHT NOW? >> LOOK, I THINK IT'S CRITICAL FOR DEMOCRAT TO HOLD WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ELECTORAL MAP AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY INTERESTING IS IF REPUBLICANS ARE TO SORT OF WIN OVER ANY OF THOSE STATES. I MEAN, FOR A LONG TIME, DEMOCRATS TALKED ABOUT IT AS THE BLUE WALL. RIGHT. MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA, PENNSYLVANIA REALLY IS SORT OF THE MUST WIN STATE FOR EITHER CAMPAIGN. I THINK THAT PENNSYLVANIA MIGHT DECIDE THIS WHOLE RACE. BUT WHAT'S SO INTERESTING IS THAT TRUMP REMEMBERS IN 2016 WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO PUT A CRACK IN THAT BLUE WALL, ESPECIALLY IN MICHIGAN. SO WE'RE SEEING THEM REALLY DOUBLE DOWN IN THAT AREA. THEY THINK THEY HAVE A POWERFUL TO TELL WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR ECONOMIC MESSAGE. TRUMP OBVIOUSLY PITCHING TARIFFS THAT HE BELIEVES WOULD HELP SORT OF ONSHORE JOBS, BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO COUNTRY IF ESSENTIALLY THERE'S A TAX PUT ON COMPANIES THAT ARE BRINGING IN GOODS FROM OVERSEAS. THE HARRIS TEAM ARGUING THAT TARIFFS ARE SORT OF A PRICE AND A TAX THAT THAT COMPANIES PASS ON TO, CONSUMERS THAT CAN ACTUALLY LEAD TO PRICES, SORT OF THEY CAN TO INFLATION, THEY CAN LEAD TO PRICE GROWTH. SO AN INTERESTING SORT OF SORT OF MESSAGE AND BATTLE OVER THE MESSAGE THERE. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT THIS IS THE END OF THE STORY. I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE BOTH CAMPAIGNS ZERO IN ON THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY, BECAUSE IF WE LOOK AT THE ELECTORAL, IT COULD DECIDE THE WHOLE RACE. AND OF COURSE, BECAUSE OF THE OF BACKGROUND, THE BIOGRAPHY, AGAIN, OF THESE OF THESE CANDIDATES, WE'RE SEEING WHILE WE'RE SEEING WAS LEAN INTO HIS MINNESOTA ROOTS IN THE MIDWEST. WE'RE SEEING J.D. VANCE LEAN INTO THE FACT THAT HE GREW UP IN THE RUST BELT AND TALKING, OF COURSE, ABOUT GROWING UP IN SMALL TOWN OHIO. AND CATHERINE ARMY RELEASED A NEW STATEMENT ABOUT THE TRUMP VISIT TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, NOTING THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS MATTER CLOSED BECAUSE THEY SAY THE STAFFER WHO ATTEMPTED TO ENFORCE POLICIES HAS DECIDED NOT TO PRESS CHARGES. SO WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT? RIGHT. YOU SEE THAT STATEMENT THERE SAYING INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THE EMPLOYEE DECIDED NOT TO PRESS CHARGES. AND THE ARMY, OF COURSE, SAYS THAT BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY CONSIDER THIS MATTER CLOSED. LOOK, THIS COMES AFTER THERE WAS AN INCIDENT REPORT FILED, ACCORDING TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. THIS WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS FILMING IN AN AREA OF THAT CEMETERY CALLED SECTION 60, WHERE RECENT VETERANS ARE BURIED. AND THERE WAS AN INCIDENT REPORTED, A PHYSICAL AND VERBAL ALTERCATION, ACCORDING TO AT LEAST A SOURCE WHO TOLD THAT TO NPR. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS DENIED THERE WAS ANY PHYSICAL ALTERCATION. BUT IN ANY EVENT THE STAFFER HAS SAID, WHO WAS ALLEGEDLY IN THIS INCIDENT, THAT THEY WON'T PURSUE CHARGES. THE ARMY SAYS THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED, BUT OF COURSE, THE STORYLINE IS CONTINUING, AS FAMILY MEMBERS OF SOME OF THOSE WHO ARE BURIED THERE CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUT. >> ALL RIGHT. MARYALICE PARKS, KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANK YOU. AND SEPTEMBER 10TH, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE ON ABC NEWS . AGAIN, THAT'S SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> AN FBI WATCHDOG IS RELEASING A NEW REPORT CRITICIZING THE AGENCY'S HANDLING OF CHILD ALLEGATIONS. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL ALREADY CRITICIZED THE FBI HIS HANDLING OF TIPS RELATED TO FORMER U.S. GYMNASTICS PHYSICIAN LARRY NASSAR. NOW, THIS NEW REPORT SUGGESTS THE FBI DIDN'T PROPERLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE AFTER NASSAR PLEADED GUILTY TO ABUSING SEVEN GIRLS. ABC'S JACK DOUGHERTY JOINS ME NOW WITH THE LATEST. AND JACK, THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE U.S. GYMNASTICS CASE, BUT HOW THE FBI HANDLES CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS IN GENERAL. >> THAT'S RIGHT, DIANA. IN THE WAKE OF THAT NASSAR SCANDAL, THE FBI PLEDGED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD NEVER AGAIN. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL, AFTER THAT PERIOD DECIDED TO TAKE A LOOK AT MORE BROADLY AT THE FBI'S CASES IN TERMS OF CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. AND WHAT THEY FOUND WAS NOT GOOD. OF THE 4000 CASES THAT THEY HAD DURING PERIOD FROM OCTOBER OF 2021 THROUGH FEBRUARY OF 2023, THEY LOOKED AT ABOUT 427 CASES OF THAT. THEY FOUND SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH 42 OF THOSE CASES THAT NEEDED TO BE IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED. IN FACT, IN ONE OF THOSE CASES, A CHILD CONTINUED TO SUFFER FROM CHILD ABUSE FOR A PERIOD OF 15 MONTHS UNTIL AGENTS THEN WERE TO STEP IN AFTER THEY WERE NOTIFIED BY THE A.G. THAT THAT HAD BEEN OVERLOOKED. SO VERY CONCERNING PROBLEMS, VERY TROUBLING PROBLEMS FOR THE FBI. >> NOW, FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY APOLOGIZED TO LARRY NASSER'S VICTIMS BEFORE CONGRESS IN 2021, SAYING WERE PEOPLE AT THE FBI WHO HAD THEIR OWN CHANCE TO STOP THIS MONSTER, HIS WORDS, BACK IN 2015 AND FAILED. AND HE ADDED, QUOTE, IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO. MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. SO WHAT DOES THIS REPORT NOW ABOUT THE CHANGES IMPLEMENTED AT THE FBI AFTER WRAY'S APOLOGY ? SO AFTER HIS APOLOGY, THE FBI DID IMPLEMENT MORE TRAINING AND THREAT TO BUREAU FOR THESE TYPES OF CASES GOING FORWARD. THEY THEY SAY THEY'RE STRENGTHENING THEIR TRAINING AND THEY'RE STRENGTHENING THEIR COMPLIANCE. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL FOUND WAS NOT NECESSARILY THAT WASN'T TAKEN, BUT IN MANY CASES THEY FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THEIR OWN INTERNAL, BASICALLY PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ACTIONS THEY TOOK WERE DOCUMENTED. SO IN ABOUT 47 OF THE CASES THAT THEY REVIEWED FOUND THAT PROPER PAPERWORK OR PROPER COMPLIANCE WASN'T PRESENT. AND IN ABOUT 50% OF THE CASES, THEY COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE THAT SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES THAT CAN ALSO ASSIST IN THESE MATTERS LOCALLY CONTACTED. AND AGAIN, THE FBI, FOR ITS PART SAYS SOME OF THESE ISSUES ARE COMPLIANCE ISSUES RATHER THAN. BUT ACTION WAS TAKEN BUT THEY JUST FAILED TO DOCUMENT IT PROPERLY. BUT CLEARLY THE FBI IS. THESE THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE QUITE STINGING AND THEY'RE CONCERNING. AND THE FBI IS TAKING THEM QUITE SERIOUSLY. >> ALL RIGHT. UNDERSTANDABLE. ABC'S JACK DORSEY. THANK YOU. COMING UP, THE FAA IS GROUNDING SPACE ROCKETS. >> WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR THE ASTRONAUTS STUCK ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION. ALSO AHEAD, THE PRESSURE ON PARENTS TO VOLUNTEER AT YOUR KID'S SCHOOL. WHY THE SO CALLED VENMO MOM IS NOW TRENDING FOR EMBRACING THE IDEA OF DOING LESS.

DONALD TRUMP. WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN IN THIS HISTORIC THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON, ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS, LIVE COUGAR AND DISNEY PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. THE FAA IS GROUNDING SPACEX'S FLEET OF FALCON NINE ROCKETS AFTER A FIERY FAILED LANDING ATTEMPT. SPACEX SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED A BATCH OF STARLINK INTERNET SATELLITES YESTERDAY, BUT THEY TRIED TO LAND THE ROCKET'S REUSABLE BOOSTER ON A BARGE OFF THE COAST. IT CAUGHT FIRE AND FELL INTO THE OCEAN. ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. SAM, FAILED LANDINGS BY SPACEX ARE RARE AND SO ARE GROUNDING. SO HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THIS AND WHY DID THE FAA MAKE THIS CALL? WELL, THE FAA MADE THE CALL BECAUSE THEY WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE PUBLIC REMAINS SAFE DURING, THESE LAUNCHES. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. THEY ARE WAITING FOR RESULTS. DATA FROM SPACEX TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED HERE, WHY IT HAPPENED HERE, AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN AND ULTIMATELY DETERMINE IF THERE IS A PUBLIC SAFETY THREAT . WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER, THAT ROCKET TOOK OFF WITH THOSE STARLINK SATELLITES AND WHEN THAT BOOSTER WAS LANDING ON A PAD OUT IN THE WATER, IT TOPPLED OVER AND CAUGHT FIRE. OF COURSE, THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. IT'S BEEN USED MORE THAN 20 TIMES BEFORE. SO THEY'VE GOT TO FIGURE IT OUT. WHAT WENT WRONG BEFORE THEY CAN BEGIN TO USE THOSE BOOSTERS AGAIN. >> AND SPACEX X ALSO TRYING TO LAUNCH FOR PRIVATE ASTRONAUTS FOR THE FIRST EVER COMMERCIAL SPACEWALK, THIS MISSION BY POLARIS. DON, IT WAS ALREADY SCRUBBED TWICE OVER HELIUM LEAK. SO WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT MISSION WHICH WOULD MAKE HISTORY ONCE IT HAPPENS? WELL, THAT MISSION LIKELY WILL BE ON HOLD FOR QUITE SOME TIME. >> NOW, THERE WAS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO LAUNCH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THAT LIKELY WON'T HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE FAA GROUNDING AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET THAT DATA TO THE FAA AND THEN, OF COURSE, GET A PLAN IN PLACE AND APPROVED BY THE FAA FOR LAUNCH. >> AND YOU'RE ALSO LOOKING AT WEATHER OBSTACLES. THE WEATHER DOES NOT LOOK FAVORABLE FOR THE RETURN. THEY COME BACK IN FIVE DAYS. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE PUSHED OFF LIKELY FOR SOME TIME. BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING ON CONFIRMATION FROM SPACEX ON THAT. MEANWHILE, SAM, TWO AMERICAN ASTRONAUTS ARE STUCK ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION BECAUSE THEIR BOEING'S STARLINER CAPSULE COULDN'T BRING THEM BACK TO EARTH SAFELY. SO THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HITCH A RIDE WITH SPACEX IN FEBRUARY. COULD THIS GROUND STOP DELAYED THEIR RETURN EVEN? >> IT POSSIBLY COULD. NO, THAT THAT NASA THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WITH TWO ASTRONAUTS. IT WAS FOR. BUT NOW THEY NEED ROOM TO BRING THE TWO OTHERS THAT ARE UP THERE BACK WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE IN SEPTEMBER. THOSE ASTRONAUTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO COME BACK UNTIL FEBRUARY. SO WE STILL HAVE SOME SOME TIME THERE. SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON HOW THIS REVIEW AND THE FINDINGS, WHAT THOSE FINDINGS ARE WILL, WHEN THAT LAUNCH HAPPENS AND WHEN THOSE TWO OTHER ASTRONAUTS THAT ARE IN SPACE RIGHT NOW THAT WENT UP ON THAT BOEING'S STARLINER COME HOME. >> ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND A TENNESSEE MOM OF FOUR IS GETTING REAL WHEN IT COMES TO VOLUNTEERING FOR YOUR KIDS SCHOOL OR SPORTS TEAMS. THE SELF-DESCRIBED VENMO MOM IS NOW GOING VIRAL AFTER SAYING NO AND OFFERING MONEY INSTEAD. ABC'S ERIELLE RESHEF HAS HER STORY. >> SHE'S THE STRAIGHT TALKING TENNESSEE MOM WHOSE MINUTE LONG TOK VIDEO IS GOING VIRAL. I DON'T WANT TO BE ON PTO, PTA ROO MOM, TEEN MOM. >> I DON'T WANT TO DO ANY OF THAT. CASEY NEIL EMBRACING THE IDEA OF DOING LESS SAYING NO TO VOLUNTEERING AND COINING A NEW PHRASE VENMO MOM. >> I'M LIKE NO, I KNOW THEY'RE JUDGING ME BECAUSE I'M NOT RAISING MY HAND.

NEIL SPEAKING TO "GMA", TELLING US BETWEEN WORK AND FOR KIDS AGES 3 TO 11, SHE'S ALREADY AT CAPACITY ENCOURAGING. OTHER PARENTS, TO BE HONEST, WHEN IT'S ALL JUST TOO MUCH.

BUT IT WAS NICE TO KNOW THAT, LIKE, THERE'S A WHOLE MOM COMMUNITY LIKE GIRL, I GOT YOU. >> THIS WEEK, SURGEON GENERAL VIVEK MURTHY. AN ADVISORY WARNING THAT PARENTS ESPECIALLY IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, ARE FACING PRESSURE AND THE WEIGHT OF UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS. WITH 48% REPORTING, MOST DAYS, THEIR STRESS IS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMING RIGHT NOW. >> AT THE BEGINNING, THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE CARRY THIS INCREDIBLE WEIGHT OF TRYING TO BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE AND SHOWING UP AS THAT PERFECT PARENT. BUT WHAT WE REALLY HAVE TO DO IS JUST STEP BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT WORKS FOR OUR FAMILY UNIT. >> NEIL SAYS NOT ABOUT THROWING MONEY AT A PROBLEM, BUT INSTEAD SETTING LIMITS. >> THOSE MOMS THAT ARE MAKING THAT HAPPEN AND OTHER MOM'S CASH AND MAKING SURE THAT TEAM BONDING IS FUN AND CLASSROOM LIKE THAT IS A PART OF MY KID'S CHILDHOOD. AND I APPRECIATE AND I WILL BE RIGHT THERE IN THE CORNER AT THE CLASS PARTY. >> AND IF YOU NEED ME TO MEET YOU, LET ME KNOW. >> ERIELLE RESHEF THANK YOU.

AND SOMEHOW I ZERO MICHAEL FOR WHERE I NICE WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU'RE LOOKING AT NEW YORK CITY ON THIS THURSDAY AND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEWS TO GET TO. HERE'S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. A HEAT WAVE IN THE SOUTH AND EAST IS FUELING TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES AND DANGEROUS STORMS. WASHINGTON D.C. HIT 101 DEGREES YESTERDAY, BREAKING ITS DAILY RECORD. AND AT LEAST FIVE TORNADOES WERE REPORTED LAST NIGHT IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS. NOW, MORE THAN 117 MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNDER HEAT ALERTS . A FORMER NEVADA POLITICIAN IS FACING LIFE IN PRISON AFTER FOUND GUILTY OF MURDERING A JOURNALIST. A JURY CONVICTED ROBERT TELLES STABBING JEFFREY GERMAN TO DEATH AFTER HE EXPOSED CORRUPTION AND TELL US HIS OFFICE. PROSECUTORS PLAYED THESE SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS. THEY SAY SHOW TELL US, IS SUV CANVASING GERMANS NEIGHBORHOOD AND TELL IS DRESSED IN THAT DISGUISE MOMENTS BEFORE AND AFTER MURDER. TELL US TOOK THE STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE INSISTING HE WAS FRAMED. NOW PROSECUTORS SAY THE GUILTY VERDICT SHOULD SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT ANY ATTEMPTS, SILENCE OR INTIMIDATE JOURNALISTS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT ATTENDANTS HAVE VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY TO AUTHORIZE A STRIKE. THE UNION'S DEMANDS INCLUDE A DOUBLE DIGIT PAY RAISE, FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES AND JOB SECURITY, AMONG OTHERS. A MEDIAN PAY FOR FLIGHT ATTENDANTS IS JUST OVER $68,000, WHILE A FIRST YEAR WORKER CAN EXPECT TO MAKE 23 TO $32000. UNITED RECENTLY ANNOUNCED PROFITS ARE UP MORE THAN 20%. CAITLIN CLARK IS NOW THE WNBA RECORD HOLDER FOR THREE POINTERS IN A ROOKIE SEASON. CLARK SET THE NEW RECORD. THE INDIANA FEVER BEAT THE CONNECTICUT SUN WITH GOLD MEDALISTS JOEL SIMONE BILES AND GABBY THOMAS IN THE STANDS. THE TEAM EXCITED TO MEET THE OLYMPIANS AFTER THE GAME. CLARK AND THE FEVER ARE SET TO TAKE ON ANGEL WINGS IN THE CHICAGO SKY TOMORROW NIGHT. >> A HIGH STAKES HEARING IS GETTING UNDERWAY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDERS CASE. LAWYERS FOR THE SUSPECT ARE ASKING A JUDGE TO MOVE HIS TRIAL LOCATION INTO COURT DOCUMENTS. THE DEFENSE SAYS THE ONLY WAY FOR KOHBERGER TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF IT HAPPENS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTY. PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE CONFIDENT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY. ABC'S ALEX STONE JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH CRIMINAL AND CIVIL ATTORNEY AND LAW PROFESSOR AT TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, DANTE MILLS. THANK YOU BOTH. ALEX, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HAPPEN IN COURT TODAY? >> WELL, DIANE, THIS IS ALL ABOUT WHERE THIS TRIAL IS GOING TO BE HELD KOHBERGER IS DEFENSE TEAM. THEY SAY HE CANNOT A FAIR TRIAL IN LAYTON COUNTY THAT THERE IS WHAT THEY CALL A MOB MENTALITY IN THE COUNTY. THEY HAVE SENT A SURVEY OUT SURVEY THAT HAS DEBATED WHERE PROSECUTORS SAY DON'T TRUST THAT SURVEY THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE. >> BUT THE SURVEY, ONE RESPONDENT RESPONDING THAT HE WOULD THE COURTHOUSE DOWN IF KOHBERGER IS NOT CONVICTED AND HIS TEAM IS SAYING, LOOK, HE CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL HERE, TOO MUCH MEDIA COVERAGE, TOO MUCH EMOTION. THEY WANT TO MOVE THE TWO BOYS. BUT THE PROSECUTION TODAY IS GOING TO SAY NO, HE CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL. HERE'S HOW HE CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WANT TO REMAIN IN LAYTON COUNTY THAT DAY. >> THE DEFENSE IS MAKING THIS ARGUMENT BASED ON THIS SURVEY. IS THAT. TO WHAT DEGREE DO THEY HAVE TO PROVE THAT HE CAN'T GET A FAIR IN THIS COUNTY? >> ABSOLUTELY. AND I HAVE TO SAY JUST I'M AN ATTORNEY AND I BELIEVE IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM AND EVERYONE HAS A PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE AND IS ENTITLED TO A FAIR TRIAL . >> WITH THAT BEING SAID, IN ORDER TO GET THE VENUE CHANGE, THE DEFENDANT HAS TO SHOW THAT THAT FAIR TRIAL WON'T HAPPEN WHERE IT CURRENTLY IS. BUT THEY CAN'T ISSUES AND TRY AND USE THAT THOSE CREATED ISSUES GET THE CASE MOVED. SO THIS CERTAINLY I THINK WAS A BAD IDEA. HOWEVER THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC BASED ON THE MEDIA COVERAGE SURROUNDING THIS CASE IN FOR THIS CASE ON WHERE IT WENT UNSOLVED AS FAR THE INVESTIGATION FOR A WHILE AFTER THESE MURDERS HAPPENED, THAT TOWN WAS CAPTIVATED BY THIS AND EVERYBODY FELT UNSAFE. SO IF I'M MAKING THE ARGUMENT, I'M TALKING ABOUT BACK TO THE JUDGE AND SAYING THIS TOWN FELT UNSAFE. IT WAS SHOWN AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER CAN TO PUT SOMEBODY IN JAIL FOR THIS. WHETHER MY CLIENT IS GUILTY OR NOT, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO GET THIS TRIAL MOVED. I'M NOT GOING TO BASED ON THAT SURVEY, I'M GOING TO BASED ON THE MEDIA COVERAGE AND JUST WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THIS TOWN SHORTLY AFTER THE MURDERS HAPPENED. AND TRULY BELIEVE THEY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN MOVING THIS CASE BECAUSE GOING TO BE HARD TO GET A FAIR THERE BASED ON HOW THIS CRIME IMPACTED THAT. >> AND DON'T PROSECUTORS SAY THEY CAN LINK KOHBERGER TO MURDERS, THEIR DNA EVIDENCE, SECURITY FOOTAGE AND CELL PHONE DATA? I KNOW WE WILL LEARN MORE AT TRIAL, BUT HOW STRONG DO YOU THINK THE EVIDENCE IS AT THIS POINT? AND HOW CHALLENGING IS IT THAT THE DEFENSE IS ALIBI IS THAT KABAKA WAS DRIVING AROUND ALONE THAT NIGHT? WELL, IF HE CAN SHOW THAT HE WAS IN A DIFFERENT AND YOU CAN USE CELL PHONE DATA AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO SHOW THAT, I THINK THAT'S A STRONG ALIBI. >> I ALSO KNOW THAT BASED ON WHAT'S COME OUT SO FAR IN THE INVESTIGATION AND TALKING PEOPLE THAT I KNOW THAT'S FAMILIAR WITH THE INVESTIGATION, EICHELBERGER WAS IN THAT AREA, MAY HAVE BEEN IN THAT HOUSE BEFORE. SO THAT MAY EVEN EXPLAIN SOME DNA BECAUSE THAT HOUSE HOSTED A LOT OF PARTIES THERE. SO IF I'M ARGUING FOR KABAKA, I'M SAYING HE WASN'T THERE THAT DAY. DNA CAN'T TELL TIME. AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST ISSUE THE STATE IS GOING TO HAVE SHOWING THAT COCO BURGER WAS IN THE HOUSE THE NIGHT THE MURDERS WERE COMMITTED. >> BUT WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT ELSE THEY HAVE AVAILABLE. KOHBERGER IS SAYING HE'S INNOCENT OF THIS CRIME AND. HE PLANS TO FILE AND WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT LEADS THE JURY. >> THAT WILL LISTEN THE FACTS AND SIMPLY SAY WHAT THEY BELIEVE. >> THE EVIDENCE SHOWS. SO, ALEX, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR TODAY AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? WELL, THINK THAT'S GOING TO GO ON FOR QUITE A WHILE TODAY. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WITNESSES WHO ARE GOING TO BE UP, INCLUDING A SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGIST, TALKING ABOUT THE SURVEY AND THE ATTITUDE IN LAYTON COUNTY, JUST WHAT PEOPLE ARE BELIEVING AND WHAT THEY ARE COMING IN WITH PRECONCEIVED IDEAS. IF THEY WERE TO COME IN AND BE JURORS. AND THEN AT SOME POINT THE JUDGE IS GOING TO RULE THIS, PROBABLY NOT TODAY. IT'LL PROBABLY BE A WRITTEN RULING SOMETIME THE ROAD. BUT THIS JUDGE HAS TO DECIDE, CAN THERE BE A FAIR TRIAL IN L.A. COUNTY OR MOVE IT CLOSER TO BOISE? AND THEN IF DOES MOVE IT TO BOISE, DOES HE GO WITH IT OR GIVE IT UP TO A LOCAL JUDGE IN THE BOISE AREA? IT SEEMS LIKE HE WOULD PROBABLY GO WITH IT, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DETERMINED AS WELL. >> ALL RIGHT. ALEX STONE, D.A. MILLS, YOU BOTH. YOU GOT IT. AND A NEW STUDY DONATING A KIDNEY HAS NEVER BEEN SAFER. THE STUDY PUBLISHED IN THE OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, FOUND PEOPLE WHO DONATE A KIDNEY ARE AT AN EVEN LOWER RISK OF DEATH FROM THE OPERATION THAN DOCTORS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. TRANSPLANT CENTERS HAD BEEN CITING A RISK OF THREE DEATHS PER 10,000 LIVING DONORS. BUT THIS STUDY TRACKED, 30 YEARS OF LIVING KIDNEY DONATION AND FOUND BY 2022, FEWER THAN ONE IN 10,000 DONORS DIED WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF THEIR SURGERY. DR. DARIEN SUTTON JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS DR. SUTTON TRANSPLANT SURGEON WHO COAUTHORED THE STUDY SAID THAT NEWER SURGICAL TECHNIQUES ARE PART OF THE REASON THAT YOU'RE SEEING THIS SHIFT. SO DOES ALSO MEAN EASIER RECOVERY FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERGO THIS SURGERY. >> OVERALL, YES. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE OVERALL NUMBERS, YES, EASIER. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. NOW THEY HAVE NEW TECHNIQUES WHERE YOU CAN HAVE KIDNEY TRANSPLANTED OR EX PLANTED WHILE YOU'RE WIDE AWAKE IN THE VERY SIMILAR WAY THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, WOMEN HAVE CHILDREN. WHAT THE PROCEDURE CALLED AN EPIDURAL TO NUMB. >> AND THERE'S ALSO MORE SAFETY GUIDELINES WHICH HAVE ALLOWED TO BE SAFER, ALLOWING PATIENTS AT BETTER OUTCOMES, GETTING OUT OF HOSPITAL QUICKER. AND FOR ME, IT'S MORE MOTIVATION TO CONVINCE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ORGAN DONATION. >> AND IT DOES SEEM THAT THAT IS WORKING BECAUSE. LAST YEAR, THE NUMBER OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FROM LIVING DONORS ,THE HIGHEST IT'S BEEN SINCE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THAT PUSH AND SEEMINGLY MAKING MORE PEOPLE COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF DONATING? >> WELL, HOPEFULLY IT'S CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS WHERE MORE PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY AWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFE PROCEDURE AND THAT PROVIDING THAT OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE OUT IS TREMENDOUS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATISTICS, THERE, AN ESTIMATED 170 MILLION ORGAN DONORS. BUT I THINK WHAT'S MOST IS THAT OUT OF THAT, ONLY THREE OUT OF EVERY THOUSAND ORGAN DONORS ACTUALLY DONATE AFTER DEATH. GIVEN THERE'S DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES THAT INVOLVE DEATH. >> AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THOSE 170 MILLION, WE STILL NEED MORE. SO PARTICIPATING, LOGGING ON, SEARCHING FOR ORGAN DONATION AND FIGURING OUT HOW YOU CAN HELP IS REALLY IMPORTANT. >> THAT SAID, THIS ISN'T A KNEE DECISION. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING YOU WANT TO JUST SAY. YEAH, SURE, YOU CAN HAVE MY KIDNEY, RIGHT? SO HERE'S SOME OF THE LONG TERM RISKS. IF YOU'RE HAVING CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE ABOUT, THIS, WHAT ARE THINGS THEY HAVE TO CONSIDER BEFORE THEY MAKE THIS DECISION? WELL, ONE KIDNEY IS NOT A BENIGN BANG. >> YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE BEING CAREFUL REGARDLESS, AND NUMBER ONE, MAKING SURE THAT YOUR RISK FACTORS ARE ON POINT. AND SO CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, THESE INCREASE YOUR RISK OF RENAL FAILURE OR RENAL DISEASE OR KIDNEY DISEASE. AND SO YOU DON'T THOSE OTHER OBSTACLES IN YOUR WAY IF YOU'RE CHOOSING TO DONATE A KIDNEY, IT TO A STRICT REGIMEN AND PROTOCOL FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE DONATING A KIDNEY TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE THE HEALTHIEST THAT THEY CAN BE. >> BUT THAT BEING SAID, YOU CAN STILL LIVE LONG LIFE, A FRUITFUL LIFE WITH ONE KIDNEY. >> IT'S VERY POSSIBLE, VERY DOABLE. AND AGAIN, THIS IS A HARD DECISION, BUT IT REALLY TAKES IN PLACE WHAT THAT PERSON IS TRYING TO DO, WHICH IS HELPING SOMEONE ELSE LIVE THEIR LIFE WHICH IS TREMENDOUS, SAVE A LIFE IN MANY CASES. >> DR. SUTTON. THANKS SO MUCH. CONAN. >> OF COURSE. COMING UP HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE, FIRST, A THEFT OF CARS WITH KEY FOBS ARE ON THE RISE. OUR TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT, GIO BENITEZ.

THE NATIONAL INSURANCE CRIME BUREAU REPORTS LAST YEAR MORE THAN A MILLION CARS WERE STOLEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THAT NUMBER HAS BEEN RISING STEADILY SINCE 2019. ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ HAS THE LATEST. >> BENJAMIN BRAG REYNOLDS READ OUT TO START HIS CAR ON A COLD WINTER IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WHILE IT WARMED UP, HE RAN BACK INSIDE, WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET THE DOG. >> WHEN I TURNED AROUND TO COME BACK OUT, THE CAR WAS GONE. >> BUT HE HAD TAKEN THE KEY FOB INSIDE WITH HIM. SOMETHING DONE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. >> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU CAN START IT AND WALK AWAY FROM IT, BUT IT WON'T MOVE UNLESS THE KEY IS IN THE VEHICLE. NEVER WOULD I HAVE STARTED IT AND IT. >> HAD I KNOWN HE COULD MOVE. AND THESE SEVEN FIVE WEEK OLD BULLDOG PUPPIES WERE RECOVERED BY D.C. POLICE AFTER THE VEHICLE THEY WERE IN WAS STOLEN WHEN THE DRIVER LEFT HER CAR RUNNING TO KEEP THEM WARM WHILE SHE QUICKLY WENT INSIDE HER APARTMENT. THEY AREN'T ALONE. >> THE D.C. METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT'S A PERSISTENT PROBLEM. SEE CARS RUNNING IN FRONT OF RESTAURANTS AT GAS STATIONS. IT'S UNFORTUNATELY A COMMON THING THAT PEOPLE ARE DOING, IS LEAVING THEIR CARS RUNNING UNATTENDED WITH THE HELP OF THE D.C. POLICE WE SEE JUST HOW QUICKLY IT CAN HAPPEN. >> SO HERE'S THE ISSUE. I'M GOING TO LEAVE CAR RUNNING. I HAVE THE KEY FOB WITH ME. OFFICER WATSON'S GOING TO COME IN HERE. SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE KEY FOB. SHE'S GOING TO PUT THE CAR INTO ,AND SHE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE RIGHT OFF AGAIN. >> I STILL HAVE THE KEY. WE FOLLOWED HER. SHE DRIVES THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD AND DOWN BUSY D.C.

ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THEIR. >> THE CAR IS GONE. YEP. FOR BRAD REYNOLDS, WHOSE CAR WAS EVENTUALLY IN ANOTHER CITY, IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN EXPENSIVE EXPERIENCE. >> THEY TOOK IT FOR A JOYRIDE, APPARENTLY IT WAS SEVERAL DS BEFORE I ACTUALLY GOT THE CAR. THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF DAMAGE, $5,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO CAR. >> AUTOMAKERS RECOMMEND CHECKING YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR OTHER OPTIONS LIKE REMOTE START THAT WON'T ALLOW THE CAR TO MOVE WITHOUT THE FAULT. BUT THEY WARNED TO NEVER START YOUR CAR AND WALK AWAY. EVEN THE KEY FOB. >> TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT BENITEZ, THANK YOU. AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON IS KICKING OFF ITS NEW SEASON. THIS YEAR'S TOP TIER MATCHUPS COULD HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE PLAYOFF PICTURE. NUMBER ONE, GEORGIA HOSTS CLEMSON. THE FIGHTING IRISH TRAVEL TO TEXAS A&M ON SATURDAY AND USC CAPS OFF THE WEEKEND WITH A PRIMETIME MATCHUP AGAINST LSU ON SUNDAY NIGHT IN DEATH VALLEY. LET'S BRING IN ESPN COLLEGE FOOTBALL ANALYST SAM ACHO FOR MORE. SAM, THANKS MUCH FOR COMING ON. LET'S START WITH GEORGIA TECH. THEY STARTED OFF THE SEASON WITH A BIG UPSET OF FLORIDA STATE LAST WEEK IN DUBLIN. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE SEMINOLES? PLAYOFF HOPES AND HOW DO YOU THINK THE NEW 12 TEAM PLAYOFF SITUATION CHANGES THE EQUATION? >> WELL, THE SEMINOLES, THE FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES PLAYOFF HOPES ARE STILL ALIVE. THE REASON WHY IS THAT WE JUST WENT FROM A FOUR TEAM PLAYOFF TO A 12 TEAM PLAYOFF. AND WHAT THAT IS THAT THE FOUR HIGH STRAIGHT CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. SO FLORIDA STATE STILL IN THE SCC THEY COULD WIN THEIR STILL EVEN WITH A LOSS AND MAKE THE PLAYOFFS NOT ONLY THAT THEY HAVE A FIRST ROUND BYE WEEK. NOW LET'S SAY FOR THEIR SAKE DOESN'T WIN THEIR CONFERENCE. WELL THE NEXT SEVEN HIGHEST RANKED AT-LARGE TEAMS OF FOUR HIGH STRAIGHT CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS ALONG WITH THE GROUP OF FIVE CHAMPION MAKES IT THE NEXT SEVEN HIGHEST RANKED TEAMS STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE IT SO FLORIDA STATE'S SEASON IS NOT OVER. >> SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR IN THIS WEEKEND'S BIG MATCHUPS? ARE THE FIRST GAME WE'RE WATCHING FOR. IS NOTRE DAME GOING TO TEXAS A&M? WHY IS WELL, NOTRE DAME IS STARTING TO NEW TACKLES. THEY HAVE A GREAT DEFENSE. BUT TEXAS IS ONE OF THE LOUDEST PLACES TO PLAY. KYLE FIELD HAS, OVER 100,000 PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE A NEW HEAD COACH AS WELL. SO THAT STADIUM WILL BE ROCKING. AND OH, BY THE WAY, NOTRE DAME, SINCE THEY'RE NOT IN A CONFERENCE, THEY COULD STILL MAKE THE PLAYOFF, BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE ONE OF THOSE TOP FOUR SPOTS. >> AND WHAT OTHER TEAMS DO YOU THINK HAVE A CHANCE GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR? >> ANOTHER TEAM I'M LOOKING AT IS A TEAM LIKE, PENN STATE. PENN STATE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS HASN'T MADE THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE OF TEAMS LIKE OHIO STATE, MICHIGAN, THEY'RE USUALLY RANKED AHEAD OF THEM IN A 14 PLAYOFF. THAT MATTERS IN A 12 TEAM PLAYOFF. A TEAM LIKE PENN STATE A CHANCE NOT ONLY TO MAKE THE PLAYOFF, BUT ALSO WITH THIS NEW PLAYOFF FORMAT. FIRST, FOUR TEAMS HAVE A BYE WEEK. TEAMS FIVE THROUGH EIGHT HAVE A HOME GAME. AND SO PENN STATE NOT ONLY HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, BUT ALSO PLAY AT HOME. >> THAT COLD WEATHER COULD BE GREAT NEWS FOR PENN STATE FANS. NOW, DEION AND COLORADO HAVE A LOT OF HYPE GOING INTO THIS SEASON. THEY'RE SET TO FACE FCS POWERHOUSE NORTH DAKOTA STATE TONIGHT ON ESPN. >> WHAT'S AT STAKE FOR THEM IN THIS GAME? WELL, THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE FOR COACH PRYOR AND THE COLORADO BUFFALOES. THIS NORTH DAKOTA STATE TEAM IS AN EXTREMELY FOOTBALL TEAM. NOW. COLORADO HAS ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS, REALLY TWO OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN ALL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. SCHROEDER, SANDERS, WHO'S COACH BRANSTAD, HE'S A QUARTERBACK THAT ALSO TRAVIS HUNT, WHO REPLACED DEFENSE AND OFFENSE. THESE TWO GUYS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE TOP FIVE PICKS IN THIS NEXT YEAR'S DRAFT. BUT NORTH DAKOTA STATE HAS TWO RETURNING QUARTERBACKS WHO CAN PLAY REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL AS WELL. AND SO I'M NOT SAYING SAYING IT'S UPSET ALERT, BUT COLORADO NEEDS TO BE READY. >> OKAY. >> BE WATCHING. ESPN COLLEGE FOOTBALL ANALYST TIM JOHNSON, THANKS SO MUCH. >> THANKS.

THE NEW POLL WITH LESS THAN TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEBATE RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS AND RELENTING, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ROASTING IN RECORD BREAKING HEAT. HOW LONG THESE EXTREME TEMPS WILL LAST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH GETS UNDER WAY AND UNDER FIRE. A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WATCHDOG SLAMMING THE FBI. THE BOMBSHELL REPORT SAYS THE BUREAU FAILED. AND TIME AGAIN TO REPORT SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN CHILDREN. AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I'M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY HOUR TAKING IT TO THE BATTLEGROUND STATES. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKING THEIR PITCHES TO CRUCIAL SWING VOTERS NOW. HARRIS ON A BUS TOUR IN GEORGIA, THE STATE PRESIDENT BIDEN NARROWLY WON FOUR YEARS AGO. POLLS SHOWING THE VP PUT THAT STATE BACK IN PLAY FOR DEMOCRATS SINCE OVER THE TICKET. AND THEN ON THE GOP SIDE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP RALLYING IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. TRUMP WON BOTH STATES IN 2016 BUT LOST THEM IN 2020. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT PARKS ALSO SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS JOINING US NOW. SO MARYALICE HARRIS AND WALZ TALKING TO VOTERS IN RURAL AND REPUBLICAN OF GEORGIA. DO THEY HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING THEM OVER? SO INTERESTING HERE. POLLS SHOW THAT THERE'S BEEN A REAL TIGHTENING IN THE RACE IN THAT STATE. INTERESTING THAT OVERNIGHT THERE WAS ACTUALLY A FOX NEWS POLL THAT SHOWED HARRIS UP OVER TRUMP IN GEORGIA JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. HE WAS ENJOYING QUITE A BIT OF A LEAD THERE. OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A STATE THAT BIDEN JUST EKED OUT. 2020 DEMOCRATS HAD HOPED TO KEEP IT BLUE. BUT THEY ARE FEELING REALLY CONFIDENT. THE HARRIS TEAM BOASTING THAT THEY'VE HAD 30,000 NEW VOLUNTEERS IN THAT STATE WHO'VE COME ON BOARD SINCE HARRIS TOOK OVER THE TICKET. >> AND THEY'RE MAKING THIS REAL PITCH, LIKE YOU SAID, TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN THE STATE. REMEMBER, REPUBLICAN FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF THAT STATE SPOKE IN CHICAGO AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. HE TALKED ABOUT WHAT SAID WAS HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH TRUMP TRYING TO GET OFFICIALS THERE TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION RESULTS. HE SAID THAT IN HIS MIND, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISQUALIFYING BEHAVIOR THERE IN GEORGIA AND DEMOCRATS THINK THAT IS A MESSAGE THAT MIGHT RESONATE WITH OTHER REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN GEORGIA WHO THEY THINK REALLY FELT LIKE THEIR VOTES WERE AND DISRESPECTED BY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ACTIONS THERE WITH GEORGIA GO AROUND. >> SO, CATHERINE, POLLS STILL SHOWING IT COMES TO THE ECONOMY AND TRUMP VOTERS LOVE HIM. SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IN THE RUST BELT STATES THIS WEEK. IS THIS A SURE THING FOR HIM? WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A SURE THING FOR HIM. YOU POINT OUT THAT OBVIOUSLY TRUMP IS UP IN SOME WITH THE ECONOMY. SOME POLLS HAVE HIM UP BY NINE POINTS, FOR EXAMPLE, OVERALL AS IT RELATES TO THE ECONOMY. BUT THE REALITY OF THIS IS, IS THAT HE NEEDS TO MAINTAIN THAT LEAD, OF COURSE, WITH THE HORSE RACE. BUT ON THE ISSUES IN PARTICULAR ,COURSE, HE'S GOING TO BE RUNNING ON THE ECONOMY QUITE OFTEN. HE'S TO BE DOING THESE POLICY SPEECHES. BUT THE REAL QUESTION, WHAT IS HIS POLICY ON THE ECONOMY? THE CAMPAIGN WILL POINT BACK TO WHAT HE DID AT THE WHITE HOUSE, BUT HE HASN'T REALLY OFFERED MANY SPECIFICS ON THAT YET, WHERE TRUMP AND HIS CAMPAIGN WILL FOCUS OR SPECIFICALLY ON THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES. HE HAS NOT CAMPAIGNED OUTSIDE A BATTLEGROUND IN OVER TWO WEEKS. SO I THINK HE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT FROM DONALD TRUMP. BUT HIS CAMPAIGN. SO, MARYALICE, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING OUT FOR IN TODAY'S INTERVIEW WITH HARRIS AND WALZ ? CLEARLY, EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE TRUMP LOVE TO HAMMER ON HER FOR NOT GIVING ANY INTERVIEWS RISING TO THE TOP OF THE TICKET. YEAH, AND I THINK THAT WAS FAIR CRITICISM. I MEAN, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN THE DEMOCRATIC HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN STEPPING ASIDE. SHE HAVE TO SIT FOR QUESTIONS. AND WE ARE CURIOUS, OF COURSE, NOT ONLY HOW GOING TO EXPLAIN SOME OF HER TRANSITION EVOLUTION ON KEY ISSUES FROM THE BORDER TO CRIME TO THINGS LIKE ENERGY AND FRACKING, THINGS THAT SHE SAID IN 2019 WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT THAT SHE NOW IS WALKING BACK. BUT OF COURSE, AS A WHITE HOUSE REPORTER, I'M SO CURIOUS HOW SHE'S GOING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT CRUCIAL DAYS WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN DECIDED TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE. NOW, REPUBLICANS HAVE TRIED TO PAINT THIS AS SOME GRAND COVER UP HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT'S FAIR, BUT THERE ARE A LOT QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE KNEW AND WHAT HER CONVERSATIONS WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN WERE LIKE. OBVIOUSLY, LIKE YOU SAID, A LOT OF EYES ON THIS INTERVIEW COMING TONIGHT. INDEED. AND ALSO, CATHERINE, THE STORY WE WERE FOLLOWING SINCE YESTERDAY, YESTERDAY, THE SACRED GROUND OF ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. THE ARMY IS NOW OUT WITH A STATEMENT ON WHAT HAPPENED INVOLVED SEEING TRUMP THERE AT THE CEMETERY. WHAT'S THE. WHAT'S THE ARMY SAYING? YEAH, THE ARMY IS SAYING THAT THAT STAFFER OF ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY THAT WAS INVOLVED IN ALTERCATION, THIS ALLEGED ALTERCATION, IF YOU WILL, WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THE STAFFER WAS ESSENTIALLY TELLING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN THEY COULDN'T FILM AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION WHERE RECENT VETERANS WERE BURIED CALLED SECTION 60. THE ARMY SAYS THAT THAT STAFFER HAS DECLINED TO PRESS ANY CHARGES. THE ARMY ALSO SAYS IN A STATEMENT THAT THAT EMPLOYEE IN HER PROFESSIONAL IS A MORE UNFAIRLY ATTACKED. THIS CAME AFTER THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ACCUSED EMPLOYEE OF HAVING A MENTAL ILLNESS OF SORTS WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. SO THE ARMY, OF COURSE, IS DEFENDING THAT EMPLOYEE, AND THEY SAID THAT THE AT LEAST IN TERMS OF ANY INVESTIGATION INTO IT, IS CLOSED. >> ALSO MAKING THE POINT THAT THE STAFF THERE CONTINUES TO ENSURE PUBLIC CEREMONIES ARE CONDUCTED WITH THE DIGNITY AND RESPECT THAT THE NATION'S FALLEN DESERVE. AND IF INDEED PICTURES WERE TAKEN THAT WERE INAPPROPRIATE, IT ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE THE WRONG THING TO DO. MAYBE WE WILL EVENTUALLY SEE SOME VIDEO OF THAT MOMENT, IF INDEED IT EXISTS. MARYALICE AND CATHERINE, THANKS SO SO HARRIS AND WALZ HAVE GEORGIA ON THEIR MIND FOR A GOOD REASON. THE STATE IS A CRUCIAL STEP ON THEIR PLANNED JOURNEY TO THE WHITE HOUSE IN THIS ELECTION, AND THAT'S WHY DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS AT EVERY LEVEL ARE FANNING ACROSS THE PEACH STATE, HOPING TO CONVINCE THEIR CONSTITUENTS TO GET OUT TO THE POLLS THIS NOVEMBER. MY NEXT GUEST IS ONE OF THOSE WITH BOOTS ON THE GROUND, GEORGIA STATE SENATOR DEREK MALOW REPRESENTS THE STATE'S SECOND DISTRICT. GOOD TO SEE YOU. LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT THE RULE. DEMOCRATS NOW THAT HAVE LONG CRITICIZED NATIONAL CANDIDATES, AS YOU KNOW, FOR ONLY FOCUSING ON ATLANTA, RATHER THAN REACHING OUT TO ALL THOSE VOTERS IN THE RURAL AREAS AND THE SMALLER CITIES LIKE SAVANNAH. SO NOW WE'VE HAVE HARRIS AND WALZ ATTEMPTING TO GAIN IN THESE LONG IGNORED AREAS. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STARTING THE TRIP THERE IN SAVANNAH. >> THE SIGNIFICANCE IS HUGE HERE. THE ON THE GROUND IS UNPARALLELED TO ANYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. IN FACT, THE LAST TIME WE'VE SEEN THIS TYPE OF ENERGY WAS AROUND 1992 WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND HE CAME TO SOUTH GEORGIA. THEY HAD BUBBA'S FOR BILL. SO THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO VICE PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR WALZ COMING TO SOUTH GEORGIA TO TALK TO FOLKS WHO THEY KNOW ARE IN THEIR CORNER, BUT TO ALSO TALK TO FOLKS THAT THEY HOPE TO SWAY AND PERSUADE, TO JOIN THIS TICKET, TO JOIN THIS MOVEMENT, TO RECEIVE THE ENERGY FROM THIS CAMPAIGN, AND TO UNDERSTAND THAT SHE'S GOING TO PLACES WHERE MAY NOT VOTE FOR HER. AND THAT'S THE TESTAMENT OF THIS CAMPAIGN. THE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IS TAKING ON. >> YOU KNOW, I HAD TO CHUCKLE BECAUSE I TOTALLY FORGOT BUBBA'S FOUR, BILL. YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING BACK A WAYS THERE. I'M IMPRESSED, SENATOR. WELL, GEORGIA DEMOCRATS HAVE MADE LARGE INVESTMENTS INTO MAKING INROADS INTO TRADITIONALLY VERY PRO GOP SOUTHERN GEORGIA. SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE ARE AND JUST THE CHANCE FOR SUCCESS HERE. >> WE'VE WE'VE BUILT A SOLID INFRASTRUCTURE OF KNOCKING GRASSROOTS SUPPORTERS, NEW VOLUNTEERS, SIGNING UP EVERY DAY, FOLKS GETTING OFF THE COUCH AND COMING ON AND HITTING THIS CAMPAIGN AND FOLKS THAT WERE NOT BIDEN-HARRIS SUPPORTERS INITIALLY, WHICH IS A TESTAMENT TO THE WORK HAPPENING HERE IN SOUTH GEORGIA. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS CAME IN CAMPAIGNING FOR OUR TWO U.S. SENATORS TO BE ELECTED FOUR YEARS AGO IN 2020 WHEN THEY WERE IN A RUNOFF. THAT WAS VICE. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WAS SENATOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK AND SENATOR JON OSSOFF. AND WE DELIVERED TWO DEMOCRATIC SENATORS FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA BECAUSE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS CAME SAVANNAH AND TOLD US SHE NEEDED THEM TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE SO THAT SHE COULD BREAK EVERY TIME THAT WAS NEEDED. AND GUESS WHAT? WE DID THAT? >> AND SHE DID THAT. YOU KNOW, GEORGIA STATE ELECTIONS, THEY IMPLEMENTED THE SERIES OF CHANGES TO GIVE LOCAL OFFICIALS MORE POWER OVER ELECTIONS. EVER SINCE. AND WE'LL NEVER FORGET THIS, THAT INFAMOUS PHONE CALL IN 2020 WHERE TRUMP IS ACTUALLY HEARD PRESSURING GEORGIA'S SECRETARY OF STATE TO FIND HIM THE VOTES THAT HE NEEDED TO WIN. ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HOW THESE LAWS COULD IMPACT WHAT IN NOVEMBER? AND ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT A REPEAT OF THAT CHAOS THAT WE SAW IN GEORGIA? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> THE 20 20 CLAIMS THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN HAVE BEEN I SERVE ON THE STATE ETHICS COMMITTEE AND WE PASSED A SERIES ELECTION MEASURES, ALL OF WHICH I DISAGREED WITH THIS SESSION. AND SO FOR US TO CONVENE SIGNING DAY, I GET OUT OF SESSION AND TO HAVE THE STATE ELECTION BOARD INTRODUCE NEW RULES THAT WOULD ALLOW TO NOT CERTIFY ELECTIONS, ONE, IT VIOLATES STATE LAW. NUMBER TWO, VIOLATES THE WILL OF THE CITIZENS THAT ELECT REPRESENTATIVES TO PASS LAWS CONCERNING ELECTIONS. AND SO THOSE BILLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERLY DEBATED SO THAT THERE'S A RECORD OF IT. BUT WE HAVE AN UNELECTED, UNACCOUNTABLE ELECTION BOARD THAT IS JUST DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO, AND THAT'S EGREGIOUS AND IT JUST CAN'T HAPPEN. AND SO GOVERNOR KEMP AND THE GOP LEADERS OF THIS STATE NEED TO STEP UP AND GET A BACKBONE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE VIOLATED LAW AND NO COMMITTEE, NO BOARD CAN INTRODUCE ANY RULE THAT SUPERSEDES STATE LAW. >> JUST SEE, IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. GOT IT. WELL, SPEAKING OF GEORGIA GOVERNOR BRIAN KEMP, HE HAS LONG BEEN CRITICAL OF TRUMP AND THE FEELING TO BE MUTUAL. NOW, IRONICALLY, KEMP IS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WITH TRUMP. DO YOU THINK THAT THIS COULD ACTUALLY BRING REPUBLICANS GEORGIA BACK TO TRUMP? >> YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE THERE WITH KEMP BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN AFFINITY TO THIS GOVERNOR LIKE NO OTHER. HE ATTACKED HIS CHARACTER THAT HE ATTACKED AND WHAT HE HIS STATE AND WHICH I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THERE'S A COME BACK FROM THAT. AND I HOPE MANY KEMP REPUBLICANS SEE THAT NO MATTER ,WHAT HAPPENS YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT. CLEARLY, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THE GUY THAT SHOULD REPRESENT YOUR PARTY PARTY. BUT IF THEY GO ON THAT COURSE AND CONTINUE FORWARD, THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SIT THIS ELECTION OUT OR VOTE FOR VICE PRESIDENT. >> KAMALA HARRIS, THE BEST CHOICE FOR DEMOCRACY. I KNEW YOU WERE GOING THERE. DEMOCRATIC STATE SENATOR OF GEORGIA'S SECOND DISTRICT, DEREK. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, TENSIONS ARE EXPLODING IN ISRAEL AS THE FAMILIES OF HOSTAGES STILL BEING HELD IN BRIEFLY BREACHED A FENCE SURROUNDING THEIR KIBBUTZ. VIDEO WAS TAKEN DURING THE PROTEST AND IT CAPTURES RELATIVES ACTUALLY THROUGH AND RUNNING TOWARD GAZA BEFORE BEING STOPPED BY ISRAELI POLICE. BUT THE PROTEST DID CONTINUE WITH MOTHERS SHOUTING IF THE NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT DOES NOT SAVE OUR SONS, WE WILL SAVE THEM. VIOLENCE CLEARLY EXPANDING OUTSIDE GAZA AS WELL AND INTO THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. ISRAEL CARRYING OUT ITS BIGGEST MILITARY OPERATION THERE IN DECADES. AND TODAY, ISRAEL CONFIRMED IT HAS KILLED A TOP COMMANDER THERE IN THE OCCUPIED. OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT WAS ON THE GROUND IN THE WEST BANK AND HAS ALL THE DETAILS ON WHAT SHE WITNESSED. >> BRET. >> HI, CAROL. YOU CAN SEE EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO. CLEAN UP THE AREA AFTER THE IDF SWEPT THROUGH HERE. MOST OF THE HOUSES ON THIS STREET WERE RAIDED BY THE IDF. >> ARE BULLET MARKS EVERYWHERE, SMASHED WINDOWS. A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE HERE WAS DAMAGED. >> AND YOU CAN SEE HERE BEHIND WHERE THIS MOSQUE WAS, IT IS NOW JUST CHARRED. THIS PART OF THE IDF SWEEPING RAID ACROSS THE WEST BANK IN MULTIPLE CITIES INVOLVING HUNDREDS OF TROOPS. THE BIGGEST RAID THAT WE'VE SEEN IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS, KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT, BRITT CLENNETT FOR US THERE IN THE WEST BANK. BRET, THANK YOU. AND THEN BACK HERE, THE STATES RECORD-BREAKING HEAT JUST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH WAY. MORE THAN 17 MILLION AMERICANS SCORCHING UNDER HEAT ALERTS ACROSS 12 STATES. SOME CITIES WILL SEE TEMPS EVEN SURPASSING 100 DEGREES. MILLIONS OF YOU NOW EXPECTED TO TRAVEL THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND AS WELL. AND MORE THAN 17 MILLION PASSENGERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SCREENED AT TSA CHECKPOINTS IN ATLANTA, CHICAGO, DALLAS. THEY'RE ALL EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY. OUR METEOROLOGIST, MOSTLY GRIFFIN, IS THE EXTREME HEAT AND YOUR HOLIDAY TRAVEL FORECAST. BUT LET'S GO AHEAD AND WITH ALINA ATHENS OF OUR ABC AFFILIATE IN RALEIGH. ELAINE, YOU'RE IN KERRY, NORTH CAROLINA, I UNDERSTAND WERE FIRST RESPONDERS ARE OUT THERE BRAVING RECORD-BREAKING HEAT. WHAT ARE THEY DEALING TODAY? >> YEAH, THIS INTENSE HEAT, THE AIR QUALITY IS MAKING THE JOB EVEN HARDER FOR FIRST RESPONDERS. A BATTALION HERE SAYS THAT THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THESE HOMES CAN REACH UP TO A THIRD THOUSAND DEGREES. SO LET ME SHOW YOU RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE RIGHT OVER HERE THERE ARE SOME FIREFIGHTERS TAKING SOME REST IN, THE SHADE AND GETTING MUCH NEEDED REPRIEVE. THERE ARE LIMITED HOW LONG THEY CAN STAY INSIDE THE HOME AND FIGHT THE FIRE. EACH FIREFIGHTER HAS TO BE CHECKED BY EMS ONCE THEY DO COME OUT AND THEN THEY'RE ALLOWED TO GO BACK INTO ROTATION. THERE'S A NUMBER OF COOLERS THAT ARE SET UP HERE ON SITE WHERE THEY CAN COME PICK UP A NICE COLD BOTTLE OF WATER. SO WE'VE SEEN NOT ONLY FIREFIGHTERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS, BUT ALSO PARAMEDICS AND RESPONDING POLICE OFFICERS. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE STEPS THAT THEY'RE TAKING TO STAY SAFE AS WE DO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS HEAT. NO FIREFIGHTER OR FIRST RESPONDER WAS HURT OR NEEDED TO BE TREATED FOR A RELATED ILLNESS. SOME AREA HOSPITALS, HOWEVER, SAY DAILY THEY ARE TREATING PEOPLE IN THEIR E.R. FOR A HEAT RELATED ILLNESS. BACK TO YOU, KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE IT. ALINA. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND MELISSA. YOU KNOW, WHERE IS THE BIGGEST HEAT THREAT RIGHT NOW AND WHAT CAN PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAVELING EXPECT HOLIDAY WEEKEND, DO YOU THINK? >> WELL, KYRA, EVERYONE HERE IN THE NORTHEAST IS HAPPY. HEAT IS FINALLY OVER. IT WAS PRETTY EXTREME FOR THAT ONE DAY WITH D.C. BREAKING ,THAT RECORD OF 101 DEGREES YESTERDAY. BUT LOOK AT THIS. WE STILL HAVE THAT DANGEROUS HEAT FOR MILLIONS FROM CINCINNATI, STILL UNDER A HEAT ADVISORY. THIS IS THE HEAT INDEX, WHAT IT WILL FEEL LIKE THIS AFTERNOON. WE HAVE HEAT ADVISORIES ALL THE WAY TO MISSISSIPPI AND BACK THROUGH. THERE YOU GO, NORTH CAROLINA, RALEIGH WILL FEEL LIKE 102 TODAY. BUT LOOK, THE RECORDS AREN'T OVER. WE HAVE ACTUAL TEMPERATURES REACHING CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES. THAT COULD BREAK MORE DAILY RECORDS. LOUISVILLE, NASHVILLE, CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA, RALEIGH. BUT THEN THE HEAT WILL FINALLY START TO END AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. AND WHAT COMES ALONG WITH THIS HEAT? WELL, IT'S FUELING EXTREME WEATHER, SEVERE STORMS, TORNADOES BREAKING OUT IN PARTS OF THE DAKOTAS LAST NIGHT. AND THAT STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN SEVERE WEATHER EARLIER THIS WEEK, ARE STILL CLEANING UP THERE IN THE TWIN CITIES. MORE DAMAGING, LARGE HAIL, POSSIBLY ISOLATED TORNADOES. THAT'S TONIGHT. THE SAME SYSTEM IS GOING TO MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON FRIDAY, REACH THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY. SO AS WE KICK OFF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. PLACES LIKE PITTSBURGH UP THROUGH WESTERN NEW YORK, SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST THROUGH SATURDAY AND BEHIND IT, MUCH COOLER AIR. SO REALLY GOING TO TAKE A BITE OF THE HEAT AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAY KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT, MELISSA, THANKS MUCH. >> ALINA, THANKS TO YOU AS WELL. COMING UP, FBI HOW THE AGENCY IS ACCUSED OF MISHANDLING CHILD SEX ABUSE EVEN AFTER PROMISING TO MAKE CHANGES. ALSO THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER CASE. WHY THE SUSPECT AND HIS LEGAL TEAM ARE PUSHING TO HAVE THE TRIAL MOVED OUT OF TOWN. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL A NATION AT WAR. AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON GROUND IN UKRAINE. >> REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING, ABC NEWS LIVE IS RIGHT THERE. EVERYONE ON THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSION IS GOING TO LEAVE FOR UKRAINE. REPORTING THE EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY IN ROLLING FORTH. THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH LITTLE TOWN FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTER IN HAWAII FROM CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA ON THE 2024 CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN ICELAND. LET'S GO TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN MEXICO CITY. WHEREVER THE STORY FROM THE FRONT LINES FROM SOUTHERN ISRAEL OUTSIDE THE GAZA STRIP IN FROM THE FBI, REPORTING FROM THE NURSES ON THE PICKET LINE HERE AT TEN DOWNING STREET IN LONDON, STREAMING LIVE TO YOU WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE. WE'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE HERE, STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE STREAMING FREE AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. >> IF YOU WERE COMING OF AGE IN THE 1980S, THE BRAT PACK WAS NEAR THE CENTER. YOUR CULTURAL AWARENESS. BUT FOR THOSE OF US EXPERIENCING IT FROM THE INSIDE, THE BRAT PACK WAS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. THE CRITICS AGREE THAT FANS HATED THE BRAT PACK. WHAT A DISASTER. WHY? WE TAKE IT AS AN OFFENSE. AND NOW, LIKE I SAY, WE'RE BEATLES. WELL, WE DIDN'T SELL SHEA STADIUM 1985. I THINK WE HAVE HAD ABC NEWS LIVE HONORED WITH EIGHT EMMY NOMINATIONS MORE THAN ANY OTHER STREAMING NEWS NETWORK. ABC NEWS LIVE PRIME WITH LINSEY DAVIS FIRST AND ONLY STREAMING SHOW NOMINATED FOR BEST OUTSTANDING LIVE NEWS PROGRAM. THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE. THEY BOTH WANT TO BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. NOW, DONALD TRUMP, KAMALA HARRIS FACE TO FACE. THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE MODERATED DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON AND STREAMING ON HULU AND DISNEY PLUS. ALL RIGHT, BLASTING THE FBI'S HANDLING OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS. A NEW WATCHDOG REPORT BY THE FBI INSPECTOR GENERAL SUGGESTS THE FBI DIDN'T PROPERLY ADDRESS TIPS ABOUT FORMER U.S. GYMNASTICS LARRY NASSAR. EVEN AFTER NASSAR PLEADED GUILTY TO ABUSING SEVEN GIRLS AND THE BUREAU DIRECTOR APOLOGIZED TO THOSE VICTIMS. OUR ALEX MELLEN JOINING US NOW WITH THE LATEST ON THIS. SO THE INSPECTOR GENERAL HAD ALREADY CRITICIZED THE FBI FOR HOW IT HANDLED THE TIPS RELATED TO NASSAR IN THE PAST. BUT THIS REPORT SUGGESTS THE FBI JUST CONTINUED TO MISHANDLE TIPS EVEN AFTER IT PROMISED MAKE CHANGES. >> YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. KARA. OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD AFTER THE FBI, YOU REMEMBER, ISSUED SCATHING 2021 REPORT THAT DETAILED HOW THE FBI BOTCHED ITS INVESTIGATION TO THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST LARRY NASSAR. THEY SAID OVER THAT 16 MONTH PERIOD, THERE WERE ABOUT 4000 INSTANCES OF OTHER SIMILAR CHILD SEX ABUSE RELATED CASES THAT WERE BROUGHT TO FBI. THEY CHOSE TO DO AN AUDIT OF ABOUT 392 OF THOSE CASES AND 42 OF THOSE 392, THEY FOUND THAT'S ABOUT 13% OF THOSE CASES FOUND WERE SO DEFICIENT HANDLED THAT THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FBI AND SAY, YOU NEED TO IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW UP ON THESE AGAIN HERE. NOW, THAT JUST SHOWS THAT THE FBI HAS HAD A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM THAT IT FAILED TO ADDRESS. EVEN AFTER YOU HEARD FBI DIRECTOR WRAY GO BEFORE CONGRESS PERSONALLY APOLOGIZE TO THOSE GYMNASTS AND SAY THAT THIS NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. >> AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE US GYMNAST CASE, BUT HOW THE FBI HANDLES CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS IN GENERAL. >> SO WHO WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE? YEAH, THAT'S A BIG QUESTION AFTER THIS ONE HERE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE SENATE JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN, SAYS THAT HE'S GOING TO CALL THE FBI SENIOR OFFICIALS TO ON THIS REPORT. >> THE FBI KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SAYS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF THESE THAT SEEMS TO MORE OF A MINORITY OF CASES AND THEY'RE KIND OF SHIFTING BLAME TO PAPERWORK AS A POTENTIAL ISSUE. AND THEY ALSO NOTE THAT ARE STRAINED IN THEIR RESOURCES. THEY NOTE IN THE RECENT YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN A FLOOD OF THESE KIND OF REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THEM AND IN SOME CASES, ONE AGENT IN THIS QUOTED IN THIS REPORT SAID THAT HE WAS HANDLING 65 CASES AT ONE TIME. AND THAT IS CERTAINLY A RESOURCE PROBLEM THAT THE FBI NEEDS TO ADDRESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS. >> WELL, FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY APOLOGIZED TO LARRY NASSER'S VICTIMS BEFORE CONGRESS IN 2021, SAYING THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE AT THE FBI WHO HAD THEIR OWN CHANCE TO STOP MONSTER BACK IN 2015 AND FAILED. HE WENT ON TO SAY IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. SO WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT CHANGES THE FBI PUT INTO PLACE OR DIDN'T PUT INTO PLACE? >> YEAH, THERE'S A OF ABOUT 11 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL PUTS FORWARD THAT HE SAYS THE FBI MUST IMPLEMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CHANGES ACTUALLY GO INTO EFFECT. AND KEEP IN MIND FROM THAT NASSAR REPORT, THEY ALSO NOTE THAT THERE'S STILL OPEN RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THAT REPORT IN 2021 THAT THEY SAY STILL NEED TO BE ACTED ON ON A DAILY BASIS BY THE FBI. >> I EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE CONTINUED AUDITS OF THIS PROGRAM. OBVIOUSLY, THE THE GENERAL SEES THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. AND I THINK THE FBI DOES SEE AS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THEY WANT TO ADDRESS IT. AND I THINK THAT WE'RE JUST GOING TO SEE IN THE COMING MONTHS, YOU KNOW, HOW THAT HOW THEY GO ABOUT THAT THE BEST WAY, KYRA. WE'LL FOLLOW IT. ALEX, THANKS. >> WELL, THE SUSPECT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDERS, BRIAN COWORKER, IS BACK IN COURT TODAY IN AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE HIS TRIAL LOCATION. IN NEW COURT DOCUMENTS, THE DEFENSE SAYS THE ONLY WAY FOR BRIAN CABANA TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF IT HAPPENS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTY. BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY. LET'S BRING IN OUR ALEX STONE, ALONG WITH CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND FORMER PROSECUTOR RENATA VILLANI, FOR MORE. SO, ALEX, HEARING IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW. I KNOW YOU'RE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT. WHAT ARE THE DEFENSE'S ARGUMENTS FOR FOR MOVING THIS TRIAL AT THIS POINT? >> AND WHERE EXACTLY DO THEY WANT IT MOVED TO? WELL, KYRA, THEY CLAIM THAT HE CANADA KOHBERGER CANNOT GET A FAIR TRIAL, LAYTON COUNTY, THAT THE MEDIA EXPOSURE HAS BEEN TOO GREAT, THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH MOTIONN THE COUNTY. THEY WANT IT MOVED UP BOISE ABOUT 300 MILES AWAY BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT THEY'RE PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING AS CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT. THEY'RE NOT AS CONNECTED TO IT . THEY'RE NOT EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED TO THE VICTIMS. SO IN COURT A FEW MOMENTS, THEY HAD A MINI MEDIA MONITORING SERVICE OWNER ON SOMEBODY WHO LISTENS TO THE RADIO, THEIR SERVICE LISTENS TO BROADCASTS, LOOKS AT NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS TO SAY THIS, THE MEDIA COVERAGE IN LAYTON COUNTY VERSUS ELSEWHERE. AND THIS WITNESS FOR THE DEFENSE SAYING THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT MORE IN THE MOSCOW AREA THAN IN BOISE TRYING TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT IT SHOULD BE MOVED TO BOISE. >> SO, BERNARDO, WHAT DO YOU THINK? AND ARE THE GUIDELINES THAT GOVERN WHEN A TRIAL CAN EVEN BE MOVED SO THE JUDGE WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS A REASONABLE LIKELIHOOD THAT MR. COBARGO WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A FAIR TRIAL IN THAT COUNTY. AND USUALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CHANGE OF VENUE, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR A TRIAL TO BE GRANTED A CHANGE OF VENUE. SO IN THIS CASE, OF COURSE, A JUDGE GOING TO LOOK IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE JURORS THAT CAN FAIR AND IMPARTIAL BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER YOU HEARD ABOUT THE CASE, WHETHER YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CASE, BUT WHETHER YOU CAN PUT THOSE FEELINGS ASIDE AND JUDGE THE EVIDENCE AS IT'S PRESENTED INSIDE OF THE COURTROOM. SO I THINK IT'S UNLIKELY THAT THE JUDGE IS GOING TO GRANT THIS CHANGE OF VENUE. BUT THEN AGAIN, HE MAY BE THINKING, HEY, IF THIS COMES BACK ON APPEAL, DO WE WANT THIS TO COME BACK ON APPEAL? >> IF THERE'S A CONVICTION? >> SO, BERNARDO, WHAT'S YOUR READ ON HOW STRONG THE CASE IS RIGHT NOW AGAINST COBOURG? I MEAN, PROSECUTORS SAY THEY HAVE DNA EVIDENCE, FOOTAGE, CELL PHONE DATA. SO THE CASE BEING PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION IS A CIRCUMSTANCE, ONE BECAUSE THERE'S NO DIRECT EVIDENCE, NO DIRECT TESTIMONY THAT'S AVAILABLE TO SAY THAT. BRIAN EICHELBERGER, THEY SAW WITH THEIR OWN EYES BRIAN COBARGO STABBED THESE FOUR VICTIM, BUT STILL CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE SOMETIMES IS STRONGER THAN DIRECT EVIDENCE. SO THEY'RE DEALING THE VIDEOTAPE AND SURVEILLANCE OF HIS CAR, DRIVING AROUND IN THE AREA. THEY'RE DEALING ALSO WITH CELL PHONE THAT IN THE SENSE THAT HIS PHONE WAS TURNED OFF THE THE TIME THAT THEY SAID THAT HE WAS IN AREA. AND ALSO DEALING WITH THAT THE SHEET WITH A KNIFE THAT WAS ACTUALLY FOUND INSIDE OF THE HOUSE. SO THERE'S A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT'S BEING PRESENTED WILL BE PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION TO QUESTIONS IS WHETHER A JURY WILL FIND THAT THE PROSECUTION HAS PROVEN A CASE BEYOND, A REASONABLE DOUBT, AND NOW GO FOR THE ALIBI DEFENSE THAT MR. GOLDBERG IS GOING TO PRESENT. >> SO, ALEX, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ? WELL, LATER ON TODAY THERE AND BREAK RIGHT NOW, LATER ON TODAY, WE EXPECT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS SURVEY THAT THE DEFENSE DID WHERE THEY CENTERED AROUND AND THEY GOT BACK RESPONSES WHERE THEY CLAIM ONE PERSON IN LAYTON COUNTY SAID, I WILL BURN THE COURTHOUSE DOWN IF HE'S NOT CONVICTED. THEY CLAIM THERE'S THIS MOB MENTALITY. SO THEY'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. THEN IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO THE JUDGE. AND THE JUDGE PROBABLY WON'T RULE TODAY. WE'LL PROBABLY BE A WRITTEN RULING IN A NUMBER OF DAYS OR WEEKS AND DECIDE WHEN TRIAL GETS GOING NEXT SUMMER. IS IT IN LAYTON COUNTY OR IS UP IN THE BOISE AREA? THE JUDGE COULD GO WITH IT OR THE JUDGE DECIDE THAT HE WANTS A LOCAL JUDGE IN THE BOISE TO TO DEAL WITH IT UP THERE. BUT IT'LL BE UP TO THE JUDGE WHETHER THE CASE MOVES OUT OF MOSCOW OR STAYS THERE. >> ALL RIGHT. STAY TUNED. ALEX STONE, BERNARD OF BELLONA. THANKS, GUYS. >> COMING UP, THE PARIS SUMMER GAMES AREN'T OVER YET. >> THE PARALYMPICS ARE UNDERWAY AND OPENING CEREMONIES DOWN CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES. WELL, THEY WERE PRETTY INCREDIBLE.

THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED, BUT THE FLAG THERE'S NOT A TEAR IN AND OUT OF THERE. HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS LABEL RIGHT HERE, IN THE USA? >> LOOK YOUR SMILE. YOU'RE PROUD OF IT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT MIGHT WORK.

Q AND DISNEY PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. ABC NEWS. AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE NEWS SOURCE RIGHT NOW AT ABC NEWS LIVE SWING STATES DONALD TRUMP TARGETS THE RUST BELT AS VP HARRIS AND TIM WALZ. THE BUS TO GEORGIA. THE NEW POLL WITH LESS THAN TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEBATE HERE ON ABC NEWS UNRELENTING. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ROASTING IN RECORD BREAKING HEAT. HOW LONG THESE EXTREME TEMPS WILL LAST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH GETS UNDER WAY. AND UNDER FIRE. A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WATCHDOG SLAMMING THE. THE BOMBSHELL REPORT SAYS THE BUREAU FAILED TIME AND TIME TO REPORT SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN. AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I'M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, TAKING IT TO THE BATTLEGROUND STATES. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKING THEIR PITCHES TO CRUCIAL SWING VOTERS RIGHT NOW. HARRIS ON A BUS TOUR IN GEORGIA, THE STATE PRESIDENT BIDEN NARROWLY WON FOUR YEARS AGO. POLLS SHOWING THAT THE VP PUT THAT STATE BACK IN PLAY FOR DEMOCRATS AND TAKING OVER THE TICKET. AND THEN ON THE GOP SIDE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP RALLYING IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. TRUMP WON BOTH STATES IN 2016 BUT LOST THEM IN 2020. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS, ALSO SENIOR REPORTER AT KATHERINE FAULDERS, JOINING US NOW. SO MARYALICE HARRIS AND WALZ TALKING TO VOTERS IN RURAL AND REPUBLICAN PARTS OF GEORGIA. DO THEY HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING THEM OVER? SO INTERESTING, KYRA. POLLS SHOW THAT THERE'S BEEN A REAL TIGHTENING IN THE RACE IN THAT STATE. INTERESTING THAT OVERNIGHT THERE WAS ACTUALLY A FOX POLL THAT SHOWED HARRIS UP OVER TRUMP IN GEORGIA JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. HE WAS ENJOYING QUITE A BIT OF A LEAD THERE. OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A STATE THAT BIDEN JUST EKED OUT IN 2020. DEMOCRATS HAD HOPED TO KEEP IT BLUE. BUT THEY ARE FEELING REALLY CONFIDENT. THE HARRIS TEAM BOASTING THAT THEY'VE HAD 30,000 NEW VOLUNTEERS IN THAT STATE WHO'VE COME ON BOARD SINCE HARRIS TOOK OVER THE TICKET. AND THEY'RE MAKING THIS REAL PITCH LIKE YOU SAID, TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN THE STATE. REMEMBER, THE REPUBLICAN FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF THAT STATE SPOKE IN CHICAGO AT DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. HE TALKED ABOUT WHAT HE SAID WAS HIS PERSONAL WITH TRUMP TRYING TO GET OFFICIALS THERE TO OVERTURN ELECTION RESULTS. HE SAID THAT IN HIS MIND, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISQUALIFYING BEHAVIOR THERE IN GEORGIA. AND CLEARLY, DEMOCRATS THINK THAT IS MESSAGE THAT MIGHT RESONATE WITH OTHER REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN GEORGIA WHO THEY THINK, YOU KNOW, REALLY FELT LIKE THEIR VOTES WERE DISREGARDED AND DISRESPECTED BY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ACTIONS THERE WITH GEORGIA LAST GO AROUND. >> SO, CATHERINE, POLLS STILL SHOWING WHEN IT COMES TO THE ECONOMY, TRUMP VOTERS LOVE HIM. SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IN THE RUST BELT STATES THIS WEEK. IS THIS A SURE THING FOR HIM? WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A SURE THING FOR HIM, KYRA. YOU POINT OUT THAT OBVIOUSLY TRUMP IS UP IN SOME POLLS WITH THE ECONOMY. SOME POLLS HAVE HIM UP BY NINE POINTS, FOR EXAMPLE, OVERALL AS IT RELATES TO THE ECONOMY. BUT THE REALITY OF THIS IS, IS THAT HE NEEDS TO MAINTAIN THAT LEAD, OF COURSE, WITH THE HORSE RACE. BUT ON THE ISSUES IN PARTICULAR ARE, OF COURSE, HE IS GOING TO BE RUNNING ON THE ECONOMY QUITE OFTEN GOING TO BE DOING THESE POLICY SPEECHES. BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS WHAT IS HIS POLICY ON THE ECONOMY? THE CAMPAIGN WILL POINT BACK TO WHAT HE DID AT THE WHITE HOUSE, BUT HE HASN'T REALLY OFFERED MANY SPECIFICS ON THAT YET, WHERE TRUMP AND HIS CAMPAIGN WILL FOCUS OR SPECIFICALLY ON THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES. HE HAS NOT CAMPAIGNED OUTSIDE A BATTLEGROUND IN OVER TWO WEEKS. SO I THINK HE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT FROM DONALD TRUMP AND HIS CAMPAIGN. SO, MARYALICE, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING OUT FOR IN TODAY'S INTERVIEW WITH HARRIS AND WALZ? CLEARLY, EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE TRUMP LOVED TO HAMMER ON HER FOR NOT GIVING ANY INTERVIEWS SINCE RISING TO THE TOP OF THE TICKET. YES. AND I THINK THAT WAS FAIR CRITICISM. I MEAN, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THE PRESIDENT BIDEN STEPPING ASIDE. SHE DOES HAVE TO SIT FOR QUESTIONS. AND WE ARE CURIOUS, OF COURSE NOT ONLY HOW SHE'S GOING TO EXPLAIN SOME OF HER TRANSITION EVOLUTION ON KEY POLICY ISSUES FROM THE BORDER TO CRIME, THINGS LIKE ENERGY AND FRACKING, THINGS THAT SHE SAID IN 2019 WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, THAT SHE NOW IS WALKING BACK. BUT OF COURSE, AS A WHITE HOUSE REPORTER, I'M SO CURIOUS HOW SHE'S GOING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT. THOSE CRUCIAL DAYS WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN DECIDED TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE. NOW, REPUBLICANS HAVE TRIED TO PAINT THIS AS SOME GRAND COVER HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT'S FAIR, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE KNEW AND WHAT HER CONVERSATIONS WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN WERE LIKE. OBVIOUSLY, LIKE YOU SAID, A LOT OF EYES ON THIS INTERVIEW COMING TONIGHT. INDEED. AND ALSO, CATHERINE, THE STORY WE WERE FOLLOWING SINCE YESTERDAY, BECAUSE YESTERDAY, THE SACRED GROUND OF ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY ARMY IS NOW OUT WITH A STATEMENT ON WHAT HAPPENED INVOLVING. TRUMP THERE AT THE CEMETERY. WHAT'S THE LATEST? WHAT'S THE ARMY SAYING? YEAH, THE ARMY IS SAYING THAT THAT STAFFER, ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THIS ALTERCATION THIS ALLEGED ALTERCATION, IF YOU WILL, WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THE STAFFER WAS ESSENTIALLY TELLING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THEY COULDN'T FILM AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION WHERE. RECENT VETERANS WERE BURIED CALLED SECTION 60. THE ARMY SAYS THAT THAT STAFFER HAS DECLINED TO PRESS ANY CHARGES. BUT THE ARMY ALSO SAYS IN A THAT THAT EMPLOYEE IN HER PROFESSIONALISM OR UNFAIRLY ATTACKED. THIS CAME AFTER THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ACCUSED THIS EMPLOYEE OF HAVING A MENTAL ILLNESS OF SORTS WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. SO THE ARMY, OF COURSE, IS THAT EMPLOYEE. AND THEY SAID THAT THE MATTER, AT LEAST IN TERMS OF ANY INVESTIGATION INTO IT IS CLOSED. >> ALSO MAKING THE POINT THE STAFF THERE CONTINUES TO ENSURE PUBLIC CEREMONIES ARE CONDUCTED WITH THE DIGNITY AND RESPECT THAT THE NATION'S FALLEN DESERVE. AND IF INDEED PICTURES WERE TAKEN THAT WERE INAPPROPRIATE, IT ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE THE WRONG THING TO DO. MAYBE WE WILL EVENTUALLY SEE SOME VIDEO OF THAT MOMENT, IF INDEED IT EXISTS. MARYALICE AND CATHERINE, THANKS SO MUCH. SO HARRIS AND WALZ HAVE GEORGIA ON THEIR MIND FOR A GOOD REASON. THE STATE IS A CRUCIAL STEP ON THEIR PLANNED JOURNEY TO THE WHITE HOUSE IN THIS ELECTION, AND THAT'S WHY A DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS AT EVERY LEVEL ARE FANNING ACROSS THE PEACH STATE TO CONVINCE THEIR CONSTITUENTS TO GET OUT TO THE POLLS THIS NOVEMBER. MY NEXT GUEST IS ONE OF THOSE WITH BOOTS ON THE GROUND. GEORGIA STATE SENATOR DEREK MARLOW, WHO REPRESENTS THE STATE'S SECOND DISTRICT. GOOD TO SEE YOU. LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT THE RULE. DEMOCRATS NOW THAT HAVE LONG NATIONAL CANDIDATES, AS YOU KNOW, FOR ONLY FOCUSING ON ATLANTA, RATHER THAN REACHING OUT TO ALL THOSE VOTERS IN THE RURAL AREAS AND THE SMALLER CITIES LIKE SAVANNAH. SO NOW WE'VE HAVE HARRIS AND WALZ ATTEMPTING TO GAIN IN THESE LONG IGNORED. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STARTING THE TRIP THERE IN SAVANNAH. >> THE SIGNIFICANCE IS HUGE HERE. THE ENERGY ON THE GROUND IS UNPARALLELED TO ANYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. >> IN FACT, THE LAST TIME WE'VE SEEN THIS TYPE OF ENERGY WAS AROUND 1992 WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. AND HE CAME TO SOUTH GEORGIA AND THEY HAD BUBBA'S FOR BILL. SO THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND GOVERNOR WALLACE COMING TO SOUTH GEORGIA TO TALK TO FOLKS WHO THEY KNOW ARE IN THEIR CORNER. BUT YOU ALSO TALK TO FOLKS THAT THEY HOPE TO SWAY AND PERSUADE TO JOIN THIS TICKET, TO JOIN THIS MOVEMENT, TO RECEIVE THE ENERGY FROM THIS CAMPAIGN, AND TO UNDERSTAND THAT SHE'S GOING TO PLACES WHERE PEOPLE MAY NOT VOTE FOR HER. AND THAT'S THE TESTAMENT OF THIS CAMPAIGN. >> THE VICE PRESIDENT, HARRIS, IS TAKING ON. YOU KNOW, I HAD TO CHUCKLE BECAUSE I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT BUBBA'S FOUR, BILL. YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING BACK A WAYS THERE. I'M IMPRESSED, SENATOR. WELL, GEORGIA DEMOCRATS HAVE MADE LARGE INVESTMENTS INTO MAKING INROADS, TRADITIONALLY VERY PRO GOP SOUTHERN GEORGIA. SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE ARE AND JUST THE CHANCE SUCCESS HERE? >> WE'VE WE'VE BUILT A SOLID OF KNOCKING DOORS, GRASSROOTS SUPPORTERS, NEW VOLUNTEERS SIGNING UP EVERYDAY, FOLKS GETTING OFF THE COUCH AND COMING ON AND HITTING CAMPAIGN AND FOLKS THAT WERE NOT BIDEN-HARRIS SUPPORTERS INITIALLY IS A TESTAMENT TO THE WORK HAPPENING HERE IN SOUTH GEORGIA. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS CAME IN FOR TWO U.S. SENATORS TO BE ELECTED FOUR YEARS AGO IN 2020 WHEN THEY WERE IN A RUNOFF. THAT WAS VICE. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WAS SENATOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK AND SENATOR JON OSSOFF. AND WE DELIVER TO DEMOCRATIC FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA BECAUSE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS CAME TO SAVANNAH AND, TOLD US SHE NEEDED THEM TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE SO THAT SHE COULD BREAK EVERY TIME THAT WAS NEEDED. AND GUESS WHAT? WE DID THAT AND SHE DID THAT. >> YOU KNOW, GEORGIA STATE ELECTIONS BOARD, THEY THE SERIES OF CHANGES TO GIVE LOCAL MORE POWER OVER ELECTIONS. EVER SINCE. AND WE'LL NEVER FORGET THIS THAT INFAMOUS PHONE CALL IN 2020 WHERE TRUMP HAS ACTUALLY HEARD PRESSURING GEORGIA'S SECRETARY OF STATE TO, FIND HIM THE VOTES THAT HE NEEDED TO WIN. ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HOW THESE LAWS COULD IMPACT WHAT HAPPENS IN NOVEMBER? AND ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT A REPEAT OF THAT CHAOS THAT WE SAW IN GEORGIA? >> ABSOLUTELY. 2020 CLAIMS THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN HAVE BEEN UNFOUNDED. I SERVE ON THE STATE ETHICS COMMITTEE AND WE PASSED A SERIES OF ELECTION, ALL OF WHICH I DISAGREED WITH THIS SESSION. AND SO FOR US TO CONVENE SINE DIE, GET OUT OF SESSION, AND TO HAVE THE STATE ELECTION BOARD INTRODUCE NEW RULES THAT WOULD ALLOW COUNTIES TO NOT CERTIFY ELECTIONS WON, IT VIOLATES STATE LAW. NUMBER TWO VIOLATES THE WILL OF THE CITIZENS THAT ELECT REPRESENTATIVES TO LAWS CONCERNING ELECTIONS. AND SO THOSE BILLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERLY DEBATED SO THAT THERE'S A RECORD OF IT. BUT WE HAVE AN UNELECTED, UNACCOUNTABLE ELECTION BOARD THAT IS JUST DNG WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO, AND THAT'S EGREGIOUS AND IT JUST CAN'T HAPPEN. AND SO GOVERNOR KEMP AND THE GOP LEADERS OF THIS STATE NEED TO STEP UP AND GET A BACKBONE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE VIOLATED STATE LAW AND NO COMMITTEE, NO BOARD CAN INTRODUCE ANY THAT SUPERSEDES STATE LAW. >> JUST SEE, IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. GOT IT. WELL, SPEAKING OF GEORGIA GOVERNOR BRIAN KEMP, HE LONG BEEN CRITICAL OF TRUMP AND THE FEELING USED TO BE MUTUAL. NOW, IRONICALLY, KEMP IS ON THE CAMPAIGN WITH TRUMP. DO YOU THINK THAT THIS COULD ACTUALLY BRING REPUBLICANS GEORGIA BACK TO TRUMP? >> YOU KNOW, DON'T THINK SO. I THINK THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE THERE WITH KEMP. REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN AFFINITY WITH THIS GOVERNOR LIKE NO, HE ATTACKED HIS CHARACTER, THAT HE ATTACKED HIS WIFE. AND HE ALSO HIS STATE AND WHICH I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THERE'S COME BACK FROM THAT. AND I HOPE MANY KEMP REPUBLICANS SEE THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT. CLEARLY, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THE GUY THAT SHOULD REPRESENT YOUR PARTY, YOUR PARTY. BUT IF THEY GO ON THAT COURSE AND CONTINUE FORWARD, THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SIT THIS ELECTION OUT OR VOTE FOR VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS, THE BEST CHOICE FOR DEMOCRACY. >> I KNEW YOU WERE GOING THERE . DEMOCRATIC STATE SENATOR OF GEORGIA'S SECOND DISTRICT, DEREK MALONE. GOOD TO YOU. >> APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT. TENSIONS ARE EXPLODING IN ISRAEL AS THE FAMILIES OF HOSTAGES STILL BEING HELD IN GAZA BRIEFLY BREACHED A FENCE SURROUNDING THEIR KIBBUTZ. VIDEO WAS TAKEN DURING THE PROTESTS AND IT CAPTURES RELATIVES ACTUALLY THROUGH AND RUNNING TOWARD GAZA BEFORE BEING STOPPED BY ISRAELI POLICE. BUT THE PROTESTS DID CONTINUE WITH MOTHERS HEARD SHOUTING IF THE NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT DOES NOT SAVE OUR SONS, WE WILL SAVE THEM. VIOLENCE CLEARLY OUTSIDE OF GAZA AS WELL AND INTO THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. ISRAEL CARRYING OUT ITS BIGGEST MILITARY OPERATION THERE IN DECADES. AND TODAY, ISRAEL CONFIRMED IT HAS KILLED A TOP COMMANDER THERE, THE OCCUPIED TERRITORY. OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT, WAS ON THE GROUND, THE WEST BANK AND HAS ALL THE DETAILS ON WHAT SHE WITNESSED. >> BRET. HI, CAROL. YOU CAN SEE EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY. CLEAN UP THE AREA AFTER THE IDF SWEPT THROUGH HERE. MOST OF THE HOUSES ON THIS STREET WERE RAIDED BY THE IDF. THERE ARE BULLET MARKS EVERYWHERE, SMASHED WINDOWS. A LOT. THE INFRASTRUCTURE HERE WAS DAMAGED. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE BEHIND WHERE THIS MOSQUE WAS, IT IS NOW JUST CHARRED REMAINS THIS PART OF THE IDF SWEEPING RAID, THE WEST BANK IN MULTIPLE CITIES INVOLVING HUNDREDS OF TROOPS. THE BIGGEST RAID THAT WE'VE SEEN IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS, KYRA. ALL RIGHT, BRITT CLENNETT FOR US THERE IN THE WEST BANK. BRET, THANK YOU. AND THEN BACK HERE IN THE STATES. RECORD-BREAKING HEAT JUST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL GETS WAY. MORE THAN 17 MILLION AMERICANS SCORCHING UNDER HEAT ALERTS ACROSS 12 STATES. SOME CITIES WILL SEE TEMPS SURPASSING 100 DEGREES. MILLIONS OF YOU NOW EXPECTED TRAVEL THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND AS WELL. AND MORE THAN 17 MILLION PASSENGERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SCREENED AT TSA CHECKPOINTS IN ATLANTA, CHICAGO, DALLAS. THEY'RE ALL EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY. OUR METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN, IS THE EXTREME HEAT AND YOUR HOLIDAY TRAVEL FORECAST. BUT LET'S GO AHEAD AND BEGIN WITH ALINA ATHENS OF OUR ABC AFFILIATE IN RALEIGH. ELENA YOU'RE IN CAREY, NORTH CAROLINA. UNDERSTAND WHERE FIRST RESPONDERS ARE OUT THERE BRAVING RECORD-BREAKING HEAT. WHAT ARE THEY WITH TODAY? YEAH, THIS INTENSE HEAT, THE POOR AIR QUALITY IS MAKING THE JOB EVEN HARDER FOR FIRST RESPONDERS. A BATTALION CHIEF HERE SAYS THAT THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THESE CAN REACH UP TO A THOUSAND DEGREES. SO LET ME SHOW YOU NOW, BECAUSE RIGHT OVER HERE, THERE ARE SOME FIREFIGHTERS TAKING REST IN THE SHADE AND GETTING MUCH NEEDED REPRIEVE. THEY'RE LIMITED HOW LONG THEY CAN STAY INSIDE THE HOME AND FIGHT FIRE. EACH FIREFIGHTER HAS TO BE CHECKED BY EMS ONCE. THEY DO COME OUT AND THEN THEY'RE ALLOWED TO GO BACK IN TO ROTATION. THERE'S ALSO A NUMBER OF COOLERS THAT ARE SET UP HERE ON SITE WHERE THEY CAN COME PICK UP A NICE COLD BOTTLE OF WATER. WE'VE SEEN NOT ONLY FIREFIGHTERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS, BUT ALSO PARAMEDICS RESPONDING POLICE OFFICERS. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE STEPS THEY'RE TAKING TO STAY SAFE AS WE DO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS HEAT. NO FIREFIGHTER OR FIRST RESPONDER WAS HURT OR NEEDED TO BE TREATED FOR A HEAT RELATED ILLNESS. SOME AREA HOSPITALS, HOWEVER, DAILY, THEY ARE TREATING PEOPLE IN THEIR E.R. FOR A HEAT RELATED ILLNESS. BACK TO YOU, KYRA. ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MELISSA. YOU KNOW, WHERE IS THE BIGGEST HEAT THREAT RIGHT NOW? AND WHAT CAN PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAVELING EXPECT THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND, YOU THINK ? >> WELL, KYRA, EVERYONE HERE IN THE NORTHEAST IS HAPPY THE HEAT IS FINALLY OVER. IT WAS PRETTY EXTREME FOR THAT ONE DAY WITH D.C. BREAKING THAT RECORD OF 101 DEGREES YESTERDAY. BUT LOOK AT THIS. WE STILL HAVE THAT DANGEROUS HEAT FOR MILLIONS FROM CINCINNATI, STILL UNDER A HEAT ADVISORY. THIS IS THE HEAT INDEX, WHAT IT WILL FEEL LIKE THIS AFTERNOON. WE HAVE HEAT ADVISORIES STRETCHING ALL THE WAY TO MISSISSIPPI AND BACK THROUGH. THERE YOU GO. NORTH CAROLINA WILL FEEL LIKE 102 TODAY. BUT LOOK, THE RECORDS AREN'T OVER. WE STILL HAVE ACTUAL TEMPERATURES REACHING CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES. THAT COULD BREAK MORE DAILY RECORDS. LOUISVILLE, NASHVILLE, CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, RALEIGH. BUT THEN THE HEAT WILL FINALLY START TO END AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. AND WHAT COMES ALONG WITH THIS ? WELL, IT'S FUELING EXTREME WEATHER, SEVERE STORMS, TORNADOES BREAKING OUT IN PARTS OF THE DAKOTAS LAST NIGHT. AND THAT STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN SEVERE WEATHER EARLIER THIS WEEK, ARE STILL CLEANING THERE IN THE TWIN CITIES. MORE DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL, POSSIBLY TORNADOES . THAT'S TONIGHT. THE SAME SYSTEM IS GOING TO ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON FRIDAY, REACH THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY. SO AS WE KICK OFF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. PLACES LIKE PITTSBURGH UP THROUGH WESTERN YORK, SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AND BEHIND IT, MUCH COOLER AIR. SO REALLY GOING TO TAKE A BITE OF THE HEAT AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAY KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT, MELISSA, THANKS SO MUCH. >> THANKS TO YOU AS WELL. COMING UP, FBI FAILURE. HOW THE AGENCY IS ACCUSED OF MISHANDLING CHILD SEX ABUSE ALLEGATIONS EVEN AFTER PROMISING TO MAKE CHANGES. ALSO, THE OF IDAHO MURDER CASE. WHY THE SUSPECT AND HIS LEGAL TEAM ARE TO HAVE THE TRIAL MOVED OUT OF TOWN. >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE. MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST. ABC NEWS WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL OF TELEVISION AND "NIGHTLINE". >> THE STORIES THAT SHAPE YOUR WORLD, THAT SHAPE YOUR LIFE. DRAMATIC, STUNNING AND TOWERING ,JAW DROPPING FOR THE MOST POWERFUL STORIES, OUR TIME. "NIGHTLINE" ON RIGHT AFTER CABLE AND STREAMINGALL RIGHT. BLASTING THE FBI'S HANDLING OF CHILD ABUSE ALLEGATIONS. A NEW WATCHDOG REPORT BY THE FBI GENERAL SUGGESTS THE FBI DIDN'T PROPERLY ADDRESS TIPS ABOUT FORMER U.S. GYMNASTICS PHYSICIAN LARRY NASSAR. EVEN AFTER NASSAR PLEADED GUILTY TO ABUSING SEVEN GIRLS. AND THE BUREAU DIRECTOR APOLOGIZED TO THOSE VICTIMS. OUR ALEX JOINING US NOW WITH THE LATEST ON THIS. SO THE INSPECTOR GENERAL HAD ALREADY CRITICIZED THE FBI FOR HOW IT HANDLED THE TIPS RELATED TO NASSAR IN THE PAST. BUT THIS REPORT SUGGESTS THE FBI JUST CONTINUED TO MISHANDLE TIPS EVEN AFTER IT PROMISED TO MAKE CHANGES. >> YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY. OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD AFTER THE FBI, YOU REMEMBER ISSUED THAT SCATHING 2021 REPORT THAT DETAILED HOW THE FBI COMPLETELY BOTCHED ITS INVESTIGATION TO THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST LARRY NASSAR. THEY SAID OVER THAT 16 MONTH PERIOD, THERE WERE ABOUT 4000 INSTANCES OF OTHER SIMILAR CHILD SEX ABUSE RELATED CASES WERE BROUGHT TO THE FBI. THEY CHOSE TO DO AN AUDIT OF ABOUT 392 OF THOSE CASES AND 42 OF THOSE 392, THEY FOUND THAT'S ABOUT 13% OF THOSE CASES. THEY WERE SO DEFICIENT HANDLED THAT THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FBI AND SAY, YOU NEED TO IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW UP ON THESE AGAIN, KYRA. NOW THAT JUST SHOWS THAT THE FBI HAS HAD A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM THAT, AGAIN, IT FAILED TO ADDRESS, EVEN AFTER YOU HEARD FBI DIRECTOR WRAY GO BEFORE CONGRESS PERSONALLY APOLOGIZE TO THOSE GYMNASTS AND SAY THAT THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. >> AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE U.S. GYMNASTICS CASE, BUT HOW THE FBI HANDLES CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS IN. >> GENERAL. SO WHO WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE? YEAH, THAT'S A BIG QUESTION AFTER THIS ONE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE SENATE JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN, DICK DURBIN, SAYS THAT HE'S GOING TO CALL THE FBI SENIOR OFFICIALS TO TESTIFY ON THIS REPORT. THE FBI KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SAYS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF THESE IT SEEMS THAT IT'S A MORE OF A MINORITY OF CASES AND THEY'RE KIND OF SHIFTING BLAME TO PAPERWORK AS A POTENTIAL ISSUE. AND THEY ALSO NOTE THAT THEY ARE IN THEIR RESOURCES. THEY NOTE IN THE RECENT YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN A FLOOD, THESE KIND OF REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THEM, AND IN SOME CASES, ONE AGENT IN THIS QUOTED IN THIS REPORT SAID THAT HE WAS HANDLING 65 CASES AT ONE TIME. AND THAT IS CERTAINLY A RESOURCE PROBLEM THAT THE FBI NEEDS TO ADDRESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS. >> FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY APOLOGIZED TO LARRY NASSER'S VICTIMS BEFORE CONGRESS IN 2021, SAYING THERE WERE PEOPLE AT THE FBI WHO HAD THEIR OWN CHANCE TO STOP THIS MONSTER BACK IN 2015 AND FAILED. HE WENT ON TO SAY IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. SO WHAT DOES THIS REPORT SAY ABOUT CHANGES THE FBI PUT INTO PLACE OR DIDN'T PUT INTO PLACE? YEAH THERE'S A SERIES OF ABOUT 11 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL PUTS FORWARD THAT HE SAYS THE FBI MUST IMPLEMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CHANGES ACTUALLY GO INTO EFFECT. KEEP IN MIND FROM THAT NASSAR REPORT, THEY ALSO NOTE THAT THERE'S STILL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THAT REPORT IN 2021 THAT THEY SAY NEED TO BE ACTED ON ON A DAILY BASIS BY THE FBI. >> I EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE CONTINUED AUDITS OF THIS PROGRAM. OBVIOUSLY, THE THE INSPECTOR GENERAL SEES THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. AND I THINK THE FBI DOES SEE IT AS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THEY WANT TO ADDRESS IT. AND I THINK THAT WE'RE JUST GOING TO SEE IN THE COMING MONTHS, YOU KNOW, HOW THAT HOW THEY GO ABOUT THAT THE BEST WAY KYRA. >> WE'LL FOLLOW IT. ALEX, THANKS. >> WELL, THE SUSPECT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDERS, BRIAN COWORKER, IS IN COURT TODAY IN AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE HIS TRIAL LOCATION IN NEW COURT DOCUMENTS. THE DEFENSE SAYS THE ONLY WAY FOR BRIAN CABANA TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF IT HAPPENS IN A DIFFERENT. BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN SEAT AN JURY. LET'S BRING IN OUR ALEX STONE, ALONG WITH CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND FORMER PROSECUTOR BERNADETTE VALLOW NOW FOR MORE. ALEX, THAT HEARING IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW. I KNOW YOU'RE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT. WHAT ARE THE DEFENSE'S ARGUMENTS FOR FOR MOVING THIS TRIAL AT THIS? >> AND WHERE EXACTLY DO THEY WANT IT MOVED TO? >> WELL, KYRA, THEY CLAIM THAT HE CANADA KOHBERGER CANNOT GET A FAIR TRIAL IN LAYTON COUNTY, THAT THE MEDIA EXPOSURE HAS BEEN TOO GREAT, THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH MOTION IN THE COUNTY. THEY WANT IT UP TO BOISE, ABOUT 300 MILES AWAY, BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT THEIR PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING AS CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT. THEY'RE NOT AS CONNECTED TO IT. THEY'RE NOT EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED TO THE VICTIMS. SO IN COURT A FEW MOMENTS AGO, THEY HAD A MINI MEDIA MONITORING SERVICE OWNER ON SOMEBODY WHO LISTENS TO THE RADIO. THEIR SERVICE LISTENS TO TV BROADCASTS, LOOKS AT NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS TO SAY THIS IS THE MEDIA COVERAGE IN LATER COUNTY VERSUS ELSEWHERE. AND THIS WITNESS FOR THE DEFENSE SAYING THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT MORE IN THE MOSCOW AREA THAN IN BOISE, TRYING TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT IT SHOULD BE MOVED TO BOISE. >> SO, BERNARDO, WHAT DO YOU THINK? AND WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES THAT GOVERN WHEN A TRIAL CAN EVEN BE MOVED? SO THE JUDGE WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS A REASONABLE LIKELIHOOD THAT MR. COBARGO WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE FAIR TRIAL IN THAT COUNTY. AND USUALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CHANGE OF VENUE, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR A TRIAL TO BE GRANTED A CHANGE OF VENUE. SO IN THIS CASE, OF COURSE, A JUDGE IS GOING, LOOK, IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE JURORS THAT CAN BE FAIR, IMPARTIAL, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER YOU HEARD ABOUT THE CASE, WHETHER YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CASE, BUT WHETHER YOU CAN PUT THOSE FEELINGS ASIDE AND JUDGE THE EVIDENCE IT'S PRESENTED INSIDE OF THE COURTROOM. SO I THINK IT'S UNLIKELY THAT THE IS GOING TO GRANT THIS CHANGE OF VENUE. BUT THEN AGAIN, HE MAY BE THINKING, OKAY, IF THIS COMES BACK ON APPEAL, DO WE WANT THIS TO COME BACK ON APPEAL IF THERE'S A CONVICTION? >> SO, BERNER, WHAT'S YOUR READ ON HOW STRONG THE CASE IS RIGHT NOW, AGAINST KOHBERGER? I MEAN, PROSECUTORS SAY THEY HAVE DNA EVIDENCE AND SECURITY CELL PHONE DATA. >> SO THE CASE BEING PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION IS A CIRCUMSTANTIAL ONE BECAUSE THERE'S NO DIRECT EVIDENCE, NO DIRECT TESTIMONY. THAT'S TO SAY THAT. BRIAN EICHELBERGER, THEY SAW WITH THEIR OWN EYES, BRIAN COLD BURGER STAB THESE FOUR, BUT STILL CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE SOMETIMES IS STRONGER THAN DIRECT EVIDENCE. SO THEY'RE DEALING WITH THE VIDEOTAPE AND SURVEILLANCE OF HIS CAR DRIVING AROUND IN THE AREA. THEY'RE DEALING ALSO WITH CELL PHONES THAT IN THE SENSE THAT HIS PHONE WAS OFF THE WIND, THE TIME THAT THEY SAID THAT HE WAS IN THE AREA. AND ALSO DEALING WITH THAT, THE SHEATH WITH A KNIFE THAT WAS DEAL WAS ACTUALLY FOUND INSIDE OF THE HOUSE. SO THERE'S A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT'S BEING WILL BE PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER A JURY WILL FIND THAT THE PROSECUTION HAS PROVEN A CASE BEYOND A REASONABLE AND NOW GO FOR THE ALIBI DEFENSE. MR. GOLDBERGER IS GOING TO PRESENT. >> SO, ALEX, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ? WELL, LATER ON TODAY, THEY'RE IN BREAK RIGHT NOW. LATER ON TODAY, WE EXPECT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS SURVEY THAT THE DEFENSE DID WHERE SENT IT AROUND AND THEY GOT BACK RESPONSES WHERE THEY CLAIM ONE PERSON IN LAYTON COUNTY SAID, I WILL BURN THE COURTHOUSE DOWN IF HE'S CONVICTED. THEY CLAIM THERE'S THIS MOB MENTALITY. SO THEY'LL TALK ABOUT THAT THEN IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO THE JUDGE. AND THE JUDGE PROBABLY WON'T RULE TODAY. WE'LL BE A WRITTEN RULING IN A NUMBER OF DAYS OR WEEKS AND WHEN THE TRIAL GETS GOING NEXT SUMMER. IS IT IN LAYTON OR IS IT UP IN THE BOISE AREA? THE JUDGE COULD GO WITH IT OR THE JUDGE COULD DECIDE THAT HE WANTS A LOCAL JUDGE, THE BOISE AREA, TO TO DEAL WITH IT UP THERE. BUT IT'LL BE UP TO THE JUDGE WHETHER THE CASE MOVES OUT OF MOSCOW OR STAYS THERE AL. STAY TUNED. ALEX STONE OF BELLONA.

TRUMP TARGETS THE RUST BELT AS BP HARRIS AND WALZ TAKE THE BUS TO GEORGIA. WHAT THE POLLS SAY WITH LESS THAN TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEBATE RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. UNRELENTING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ROASTING AND RECORD BREAKING HEAT. HOW LONG THESE EXTREME TEMPS WILL LAST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH GETS WAY? AND HIGH PROFILE HEARING THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO CASE BACK IN COURT. WHY THE SUSPECT AND HIS LEGAL TEAM ARE PUSHING TO HAVE HIS TRIAL MOVED OUT OF TOWN. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I'M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY, THOUGH, IS THE CRUCIAL SWING STATES IN THE SPOTLIGHT. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKING THEIR PITCHES IN KEY BATTLEGROUNDS. HARRIS ON A BUS TOUR IN GEORGIA, WHERE PRESIDENT BIDEN NARROWLY WON FOUR YEARS AGO AND ONE WHERE TRUMP IS NOW FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES. BUT NEW POLLS SHOW THE VP PUTTING THAT STATE BACK IN PLAY FOR DEMOCRATS, TAKING OVER THE TICKET. TRUMP IS RALLYING IN BOTH MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN, PLACES WHERE HE LOST FOUR YEARS AGO AFTER WINNING IN 2016. HE'S ALSO BASHING A NEW ROUND OF FOX NEWS POLLS, SHOWING HIM TRAILING HARRIS. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE JOINS ME NOW. MARYALICE LET'S TALK ABOUT HARRIS AND WALZ TRYING TO WIN OVER VOTERS IN RURAL AND REPUBLICAN PARTS OF GEORGIA GOT REALLY INTERESTING. LOOK, THEY FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT THEIR CHANCES IN GEORGIA. THEY'RE LOOKING AT THESE POLLS THAT HAVE REALLY TIGHTENED IN THAT BATTLEGROUND STATE OVER THE LAST MONTH WHEN HARRIS TOOK OVER THE TICKET THAT, FOX NEWS POLL OVERNIGHT THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED HER AHEAD IN THE STATE. THEY'RE LEANING IN HEAVILY INTO WALZ'S OWN BACKGROUND. OBVIOUSLY, HE GREW UP IN SMALL RURAL TOWN IN NEBRASKA. HE WAS A CONGRESSMAN FROM A RURAL TOWN IN MINNESOTA. THEY FEEL LIKE HE HAS A UNIQUE MESSAGE THERE TO SORT OF RED STATE, SMALL STATE, SMALL TOWN, PARTS OF THE STATE. BUT ALSO INTERESTING THAT THEY'RE REALLY MAKING A PITCH TO REPUBLICANS WHO ARE FRUSTRATED BY HOW FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ACTED AFTER THE 2020 ELECTION. I'M THINKING BACK TO ONE OF THEIR SPEAKERS IN CHICAGO AT. THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION WAS THE REPUBLICAN FORMER GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA WHO SAID THAT HE THOUGHT TRUMP'S ACTIONS AFTER ELECTION TRYING TO GET GEORGIA OFFICIALS TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION RESULTS WERE DISQUALIFYING, AND HE MADE A PERSONAL PITCH TO OTHER REPUBLICANS IN GEORGIA TO VOTE FOR HARRIS. SO I THINK WE GOING TO SEE THE DEMOCRATS PUTTING A LOT OF TIME IN THAT STATE. THEY REALLY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP IT BLUE. SO WHAT MESSAGE IS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN TAKING THE RUST BELT? AND YOU KNOW, HOW CRITICAL IS THAT REGION RIGHT NOW FOR HIM? >> YEAH, I REALLY CRITICAL. I MEAN, THIS WAS HISTORICALLY, OF COURSE, THE BLUE FOR DEMOCRATS IN 2016. TRUMP WAS ABLE TO PUT BIG CRACKS IN THAT BLUE WALL, HELP PROPEL HIM TO THE WHITE HOUSE. THEY'RE REALLY GOING AN ECONOMIC MESSAGE, OF COURSE, TALKING ABOUT WANTING TO BRING MANUFACTURING JOBS BACK TO THIS COUNTRY. THAT'S BEEN A BIG PART OF HOW J.D. VANCE OF HAS BEEN UTILIZED ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, TALKING ABOUT HIS SORT OF LIFE GROWING UP IN A SMALL TOWN IN OHIO, ABOUT HOW HE SAW MANUFACTURING TOWNS THAT WERE GUTTED, AS HE SAYS, AFTER BIG TRADE AGREEMENTS. INTERESTING. OF COURSE, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT TARIFFS. THAT'S BEEN ONE OF THE SORT OF PILLAR OF TRUMP'S ECONOMIC POLICY PROPOSALS, IS TO PUT TARIFFS IN PLACE ON COMPANIES THAT THAT IMPORT. I IMAGINE THAT'LL BE A REALLY BIG TOPIC OF THE DEBATE, ACTUALLY UP ON ABC. OF COURSE, WHAT EXACTLY THEY WANT TO DO. BOTH CAMPAIGNS WANT DO IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC POLICY. BUT YEAH, THEY'RE FOCUSING ON INFLATION, THEY'RE FOCUSING ON JOBS AND OF COURSE, JUST FOCUSING ON THE ECONOMY IN GENERAL, WHERE WE ARE IN POLLS, VOTERS MORE AND MORE SAY THAT THEY TRUST TRUMP, THAT ISSUE. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I'D BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE FIRST DEBATE BETWEEN HARRIS AND TRUMP. IT'S JUST 12 DAYS AWAY. IT'LL BE RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HOW THE CANDIDATES ARE PREPARING? AND OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE ALL THINKING ABOUT IT HERE. WE'RE EXCITED AT ABC, BUT ALSO JUST ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WHAT A HUGE MOMENT THIS IS GOING TO BE IN THE CAMPAIGN. >> I MEAN, DEBATES ALWAYS SORT OF THOSE TENTPOLE HUGE MOMENTS, BUT THIS SUCH AN UNBELIEVABLE SUMMER WHERE THE DEMOCRATS AT, YOU KNOW, CHANGE THEIR ENTIRE SORT OF TICKET. THIS DEBATE FEELS MORE THAN EVER FOR VOTERS. LOOK, WE KNOW THAT HARRIS HAS BEEN HOLDING MOCK. SHE'S HELD TWO ALREADY HERE IN D.C. WORKING WITH HER TEAM TO HOLD SORT OF FULL SCALE MOCK DEBATES. ONE OF HER FORMER ADVISER STANDING IN FOR TRUMP. INTERESTING. TRUMP, WE KNOW, HAS BROUGHT ON TULSI GABBARD. SHE BACK WHEN RAN FOR PRESIDENT AS A DEMOCRAT, SHE WAS A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN . SHE LEFT THE PARTY. AND SHE'S BEEN SHE'S REPUBLICANS ARE OFTEN SHE'S ON CABLE NEWS. SHE SHE'S BEEN CLOSED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SINCE SHE LEFT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. BUT BOTH TEAMS ARE SPENDING TIME DOING DEBATE PREP, GETTING READY. THEY, TOO, KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE SUCH A CRUCIAL MOMENT, THE CAMPAIGN. ALL RIGHT. MARYALICE PARKS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE FOR US. THANK YOU. SO ISRAELI SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN ATTACKING SITES, THE WEST BANK IN A MASSIVE INCURSION. ONE OF THE BIGGEST MILITARY THERE IN DECADES. TODAY, ISRAEL SAYING THAT IT KILLED A TOP COMMANDER IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORY. WELL, AT LEAST 12 PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE WEST BANK IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. ALL OF COMING AS AN ISRAELI DELEGATION IS IN CAIRO FOR THE SECOND DAY OF CEASE FIRE TALKS. AND THE UN'S HEALTH AGENCY IS NOW REPORTING THAT ISRAEL HAS AGREED TO AT LEAST THREE DAYS OF HUMANITARIAN PAUSES IN GAZA TO ALLOW THOSE POLIO VACCINATIONS TO BE GIVEN OUR. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT. SHE WAS ON THE GROUND THERE IN THE WEST BANK AND JOINS ME NOW FROM JERUSALEM. SO, BRAD, TELL US WHAT YOU WITNESSED WHILE YOU WERE THERE IN THE WEST BANK. SO WE WERE AT THE ALPHA CAMP IN THE WEST BANK, AND THE DESTRUCTION THERE WAS QUITE EXTRAORDINARY. THERE WAS A MOSQUE THAT HAD BEEN HIT BY AN IDF DRONE WHERE THE IDF CLAIMS THAT IT HAD BEEN USED AS A AS A LAB, AS A MILITARY BASE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE LOCALS THERE DENIED, THAT IT HAD BEEN COMPLETELY CHARRED OUT . AND WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN THE STREETS, YOU COULD SEE WHERE BULLDOZERS HAD GONE, GONE THROUGH AND KIND OF RIPPED UP THE ROADS. WE LOOKED AT EVERY ANGLE. YOU COULD SEE BULLET HOLES, SMASHED WINDOWS, SPOKE TO RESIDENTS WHO SAID THAT THEY JUST SHOT INTO THE WINDOW AS THEY WERE THERE, SOME AS THEY WERE SLEEPING. I SPOKE TO ONE RESIDENT WHO I ASKED HIM, ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, THE IDF SAYS ARE TERRORISTS IN THIS AREA. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT? AND HE SAID, WELL, WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS. WE ARE THE RESISTANCE SAYING THAT THIS IS OUR LAND. SO THE MESSAGE VERY CLEAR FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW. I ALSO SPOKE TO A MEDIC WHO SAID HE TREATED DOZENS OF PEOPLE WITH BULLET WOUNDS. HE SAID, I COULD TELL HE WAS VISUALLY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET BY WHAT HE SAW IN THAT IDF OPERATION THAT LASTED 30 HOURS. AND HE SAID THAT ONE OF THE MOST FRUSTRATING THINGS WAS THE FACT THAT HE WAS TRYING TO TREAT PEOPLE WHO MAYBE NEEDED BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, BUT THEY COULDN'T ACTUALLY GET THEM TO HOSPITALS BECAUSE. THE ROADS WERE BLOCKED AROUND OUR CAMP. SO WHAT'S THE LATEST ON CEASE FIRE TALKS? WELL, THE CEASE FIRE TALKS ARE GOING ON AT A LOW LEVEL DELEGATION. AT THE SAME TIME, HOPES ARE LOW . YOU KNOW, I THINK NOT ONLY FROM GAZANS WHO ARE ENDURING DAILY SUFFERING, BUT ALSO FROM THE HOSTAGE FAMILIES WE SPEAK TO. WE KNOW ALTHOUGH EGYPTIAN US AND AND QATARI MEDIATORS ARE TRYING TO AT LEAST THE DISCUSSION ALIVE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE KNOW THAT HAMAS DRAWS A LINE UNDER THE LATEST ITERATION OF DEAL, WHICH SAYS CROSSES ITS RED LINES, INCLUDING THE IDEA THAT THE ISRAELI MILITARY WILL REMAIN IN GAZA IN SHAPE OR FORM, PARTICULARLY AMONG THE PHILADELPHIA BORDER BORDER CROSSING DURING THAT CEASE FIRE. SO CERTAINLY NOT A LOT OF HOPE THAT ANY BREAKTHROUGH WILL BE MADE ANY TIME SOON KYRA. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THE U.N. DID ANNOUNCE THESE LIMITED IN FIGHTING IN GAZA TO ALLOW FOR THE POLIO VACCINATION. WHAT DOES THIS ENTAIL? HOW WILL THEY DO THIS? I THINK THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. IT IS GOING BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS ROLLS OUT. I DID JUST SPEAK TO A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL IN NETANYAHU'S GOVERNMENT. HE JUST CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THIS IS JUST A PAUSE. THIS ISN'T PART OF A BIGGER CEASE FIRE. HE SAID THERE IS NO PAUSE IN TERMS OF GIVING HAMAS IMMUNITY. WE ARE GOING AFTER THEM. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE ENABLING HUMANITARIAN AND VACCINATIONS. YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN BEGGING FOR FOR WEEKS. WE KNOW THAT THE CONDITIONS INSIDE GAZA ARE GETTING INCREASINGLY GRIM. THAT 650,000 CHILDREN NEED TO GET THOSE VACCINATIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AND THAT THE FACT THAT THE IDF IS EXPANDING THEIR OPERATIONS IN CERTAIN AREAS, INCLUDING DARRELL BLOCKER, MEANS THAT THE POPULATION, GAZA, ARE BEING SQUEEZED INTO SMALLER AND SMALLER AREAS AND DENSELY POPULATED AREAS, WHICH CREATES A BREEDING GROUND FOR DISEASE. AND SURE HAS, IT'S NOT JUST THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE STARVING, BUT THEIR TIME FROM GETTING SICK. BRIT, WE'LL TO STAY IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING SO MUCH. SO NOW LET'S TAKE IT BACK HERE HOME AND THE EXTREME WEATHER AND RECORD BREAKING JUST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH IS GETTING UNDER WAY. MILLIONS OF YOU ARE EXPECTED TO TRAVEL THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. MORE THAN 17 MILLION PASSENGERS EXPECTED TO BE SCREENED AT TSA ,ATLANTA, CHICAGO O'HARE, DALLAS, FORT, ALL EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY. MEANWHILE, MORE THAN 70 MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNDER HEAT ALERTS RIGHT NOW ACROSS 12 STATES. SOME OF THOSE CITIES WILL SEE TEMPS SURPASSING 100 DEGREES. OUR ELINA ATHENS OF OUR ABC IS IN RALEIGH WITH HOW FIRST RESPONDERS ARE BRAVING RECORD-BREAKING HEAT TODAY. >> WE'LL LET YOU TAKE IT FROM HERE. >> THE INTENSE HEAT AND POOR AIR QUALITY IS MAKING THIS JOB EVEN HARDER FOR FIRST RESPONDERS. A BATTALION CHIEF SAYS THE TEMPERATURE, THESE HOMES CAN REACH UP TO A THOUSAND DEGREES. SO RIGHT HERE BEHIND, ME, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME FIREFIGHTERS RESTING IN THE SHADE AND GETTING A BIT OF A REPRIEVE. I'M BEING TOLD THEY'RE LIMITED LONG. THEY CAN STAY INSIDE A HOME TO FIGHT THE FIRE. AND EACH FIREFIGHTER HAS TO BE CHECKED BY EMS ONCE THEY COME OUT BEFORE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO GO BACK INTO ROTATION HERE. A NUMBER OF COOLERS HAVE BEEN SET UP OFFERING FRESH COLD. WE'VE SEEN QUITE A FEW FIREFIGHTERS, PARAMEDICS RESPONDING, POLICE OFFICERS TAKING ADVANTAGE, GRABBING SOME COLD WATER AND REHYDRATING AS THEY ARE RESPONDING TO THIS FIRE. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT OR HAD TO BE TREATED FOR A HEAT RELATED ILLNESS, HOWEVER. THAT'S AN AREA HOSPITALS, I'M BEING TOLD THERE ARE DAILY VISITS TO THE E.R. FOR A HEAT RELATED ILLNESS. >> BACK TO YOU, KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE THOSE BRINGING OUR METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN, NOW IN OUR ALSO OUR TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY. SO, MELISSA, FIRST TO YOU. WHERE IS THE BIGGEST HEAT THREAT RIGHT NOW? WELL, KYRA, YOU COULD SEE RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY, WE STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR RECORD BREAKING LATE AUGUST HEAT WAVE. AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS BECAUSE IT STILL FEELS LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS FOR MILLIONS. ANYWHERE HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE. THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THOSE HEAT ADVISORIES. IT WILL FEEL LIKE ONE OR FOUR IN RALEIGH TODAY. IT WILL FEEL LIKE 105 IN NASHVILLE, A RECORD POSSIBLE THERE, 99 IN CINCINNATI, DOWN IN THE DEEP SOUTH, ALMOST 100 AND FIVE DEGREES IS WHAT IT WILL FEEL LIKE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. >> AND THE HEAT GOING ANYWHERE FOR TOMORROW IN SOME OF THESE SAME AREAS. BUT RIDING ALONG OF THAT HEAT RIDGE, WE COULD SEE SOME SEVERE WEATHER AGAIN IN THE MID-ATLANTIC. THIS JUST ISSUED FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER. STORMS WILL BE POPPING UP LATER THIS EVENING FOR PLACES LIKE D.C., JUST WEST BALTIMORE, UP THROUGH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. A FLOOD WATCH NOW ISSUED FOR NORTHERN VIRGINIA FOR SOME OF THOSE STORMS THAT COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND FLASH FLOODING. BUT IT'S THIS NEW SYSTEM THAT I'M TRACKING. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO BRING SOME UNSETTLED WEATHER, UNFORTUNATELY, DURING LABOR DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND TRAVEL. TONIGHT, MINNEAPOLIS IN THE BULL'S EYE, ENHANCED RISK NOW FOR DAMAGING WINDS THROUGH TONIGHT. LARGE HAIL, ISOLATED TORNADOES OUT OF THE QUESTION HERE. AND THEN IT ALL PUSHES EAST IN THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY, EVENTUALLY IN THE NORTHEAST WITH SOME SEVERE AND STRONG STORMS ON SATURDAY. SO STARTING OFF THE WEEKEND, A LITTLE BIT MESSY. BUT THE SECOND PART OF THE WEEKEND LOOKS A BIT BETTER. >> CAROL? THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS, SAM WHAT ABOUT YOU? LET'S TALK ABOUT HOLIDAY TRAVEL. AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE CAN ALL EXPECT, I GUESS, IN THE AIR AND ON THE ROADS. WELL, CAROL THE FAA SAYS TODAY WILL BE THEIR BUSIEST DAY, 52,000 FLIGHT. THAT'S COMMERCIAL AND PRIVATE. THE TSA SAYS THEY EXPECT THEIR BUSIEST DAY TO BE TOMORROW. AS YOU SAID, 17 MILLION PEOPLE TRAVELING THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE BUSIEST LABOR DAY WEEKEND ON RECORD. THE GOOD IS MANY OF YOU ARE DRIVING. GAS PRICES ARE DOWN. THE RIGHT NOW AROUND 3.36. BUT MANY PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY SEEING PRICES BELOW 299 A GALLON. SO THAT'S WELCOME NEWS THERE. >> ALL RIGHT, SAM SWEENEY MELISSA GRIFFIN, YOU BOTH. >> ALL RIGHT. COMING UP, THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER CASE. WHY THE SUSPECT, HIS LEGAL TEAM ARE PUSHING TO HAVE THE TRIAL MOVED OUT OF TOWN TOWN. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS. WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS. >> ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE. REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING, ABC NEWS LIVE IS RIGHT THERE EVERYWHERE FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSION STRIKE CONTINUE FOR UKRAINE. REPORTING FROM THE EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY, ENROLLING IT. THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS LITTLE TOWN FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTER IN HAWAII, FROM CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, ON THE 2024 CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN ICELAND. >> LET'S GO TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN MEXICO CITY, WHEREVER THE STORY IS ON THE FRONT LINE FROM SOUTHERN ISRAEL, OUTSIDE THE GAZA STRIP IN BEIRUT, FROM FBI REPORTING FROM IT, NURSES ON THE PICKET LINE HERE AT TEN DOWNING STREET IN LONDON STREAMING LIVE TO YOU WHEREVER THE STORY, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE. WE'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE, YOU'RE STREAMING, ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE, STREAMING FREE EVERYWHERE. >> AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE, STREAMING NEWS. >> IT WAS A REGULAR DAY. 19-YEAR-OLD MELISSA WITH SOMETHING TERRIBLE WOULD HAPPENED HER. YOU HAD SEVERAL SUSPECTS. ALL THESE KINDS OF LEADS, A KNOWN SERIAL KILLER IN YOUR AREA. COULD HE BE INVOLVED OR ACTUALLY FIND A KEY EVIDENCE THAT COULD HAVE SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS? >> HER LAST HOURS ON THIS EARTH, THAT HONORIFIC, THIS BEAUTIFUL CAN GO. POLICE WILL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED AT WIT'S END AT THE HUNT FOR A KILLER. >> ONLY ON HULU. THEY BOTH WANT TO BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. NOW, FINALLY, KAMALA HARRIS, WE THAT THE PROMISE OF AMERICA. DONALD TRUMP. WE WILL BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN IN THIS HISTORIC MOMENT. THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENT WILL DEBATE MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 10TH LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC LIVE. HULU AND DISNEY. PLUS THE ABC NEWS. PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> WELL, THE SUSPECT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDERS, BRIAN KOHBERGER, IS IN COURT RIGHT NOW TRYING TO GET HIS TRIAL MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION. HIS ATTORNEYS ARE ARGUING THAT THE WAY OR ONLY WAY, RATHER, FOR THEIR CLIENT TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS TO BE TO A DIFFERENT COUNTY. BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THAT THEY'RE CONFIDENT CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY. LET'S BRING IN ABC NEWS ALEX STONE WITH OUR CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND FORMER PROSECUTOR BERNARD VILONIA. ALL RIGHT, ALEX, SO YOU ARE FOLLOWING THE HEARING AS IT'S UNFOLDING. BRING US UP TO DATE. YES. HERE THE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS ARE SAYING THERE IS A MOB MENTALITY IN LAKE COUNTY AND THAT IN SURVEY THAT THEY DID, THIS SURVEY HAS BEEN DEBATED THE VALIDITY OF IT. BUT THIS SURVEY, THE ONE PERSON SAID THEY WOULD BURN DOWN THE COURTHOUSE IF. HE WERE NOT TO BE CONVICTED. AND THEY'RE TRYING TO TO SHOW THAT HE CANNOT GET A FAIR TRIAL THERE. RIGHT NOW ON THE WITNESS STAND FOR LAST HOUR OR SO DURING THIS HEARING IS AN EXPERT ON PRETRIAL BIAS. AND SHE IS SAYING THAT BASED ON THE MEDIA COVERAGE AND BASED ON THE POLICE CHIEF AND, THE HEAD OF THE UNIVERSITY AND OTHERS WHO HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THE CASE, THAT HE CANNOT GET A TRIAL AND THAT ANY JURORS WHO GO IN THERE WILL KNOW ABOUT THIS CASE WILL HAVE A PRECONCEIVED NOTION WILL HAVE BIAS AS THEY GO IN THERE. SHE BELIEVES THAT CANNOT BE UNDONE. SHE, AGAIN, REMEMBER, IS FOR DEFENSE. >> THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IT MOVE 300 MILES AWAY TO BOISE. SO WE'RE NOT IN WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES TYPICALLY CAUSED TRIALS TO BE MOVED. AND WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT COOPER'S REQUEST WILL ACTUALLY BE GRANTED? >> SO USUALLY CHANGE OF VENUE ARE NOT GRANTED UNLESS YOU CAN SHOW THAT THERE'S A HIGH LIKELIHOOD THAT YOU ARE NOT IMPARTIAL JURY.A FAIR, PRETTY MUCH IT'S PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE THAT THERE AREN'T JURORS THAT CAN BE AND IMPARTIAL. I THINK IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT IT WOULD BE GRANTED IN THIS CASE. HOWEVER, THE CAVEAT IS, IS THAT THE JUDGE, JUDGE, JUDGE IS AWARE THAT THIS TRIAL IS OF HIGH SIGNIFICANCE AND MAGNITUDE . THE PEOPLE OF IOWA, OF IDAHO. AND TO BE HONEST, I DON'T THINK ANYWHERE THAT THEY ACTUALLY MOVE IT IN THE STATE. WILL THERE BE A JUROR HAS NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS CASE? I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE GRANTED. BUT I THINK IN THE BACK OF THE JUDGE'S MIND, HE IS THINKING THAT WHAT IF THERE'S A CONVICTION IN THIS CASE, WHETHER AN APPEAL WILL BE GRANTED BASED ON NOT OF THE TRIAL NOT BEING CHANGED TO A DIFFERENT VENUE? GOT IT. AND SO, BERNARDO KNOW, PROSECUTORS SAY THAT THEY'VE GOT ALL THE DNA EVIDENCE, THE OTHER SECURITY FOOTAGE, THE CELL PHONE DATA. BUT KOHBERGER IS THAT WAS AT RURAL PARK THE NIGHT OF THE MURDERS. ALL RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE EVIDENCE HERE? I MEAN, IS THERE ENOUGH. >> WELL. WELL, THE PROSECUTION HAVE A STRONG CASE, BUT OF COURSE, WITH THE COLD BURGER, HE'S ALLEGING THAT HE WAS ELSE. HE HAS PUT FORTH AN ALIBI DEFENSE. HE'S GIVEN NOTICE OF THE ALIBI DEFENSE WHEN IT COMES TO CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASE IS USUALLY JURORS DON'T LIKE CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASES BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM WITNESS THAT DIRECTLY SAW THE DEFENDANT COMMIT THE CRIME. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THAT IN THIS CASE. BUT THEN WHEN IT COMES TO AN ALIBI DEFENSE NOW, THE QUESTION WOULD BE, WELL, WHETHER MR. GOLDBERG ACTUALLY THE STAND AND SAY THAT HE WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE OR WHETHER HE'LL PUT UP OTHER EVIDENCE TO PUT THAT ALIBI DEFENSE BEFORE THEM. WE WON'T KNOW BECAUSE IN THIS CASE, THERE IS A GAG ORDER. SO THE PROSECUTION, AS WELL AS, THE DEFENSE, HAVE NOT BEEN COMMENTING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MEDIA OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE OF WHAT THEY EXPECT THE EVIDENCE TO SHOW. WHAT WE'VE BEEN DIGGING AT IS THE FOLLOWING, AS WELL AS LOOKING AT THE CARRYING LIVE. >> ALL RIGHT, ALEX, WHAT'S NEXT ? WELL, WE'LL WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE JUDGE RULES ON THIS. WE'RE GOING TO TALK MORE TODAY ABOUT THAT SURVEY I WAS TALKING ABOUT, WHERE THEY THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS A MOB MENTALITY AGAINST HIM. AND WAS THAT SURVEY EVEN DONE CORRECTLY? THE PROSECUTION IS GOING TO SAY, WELL, LOOK, JUST LIKE ANY SURVEY, THAT ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE A NEGATIVE THING TO SAY OR HAVE A LOT OF EMOTION ABOUT IT, ARE GOING TO RESPOND TO IT. >> AND PEOPLE WHO SAY, YOU KNOW, I DON'T REALLY KNOW A LOT ABOUT THIS. I'M GOOD WITH BEING A JUROR THAT. THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T RESPOND BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO RESPOND TO THAT SURVEY. AND THEY'RE GOING TO CLAIM ONLY THE MOST INFLAMMATORY STATEMENTS WERE OUT BY THE DEFENSE IN THIS AND THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL LATER COUNTY. IT'LL BE UP TO THE JUDGE PROBABLY WILL NOT RULE TODAY JUDGE IS NAME NOT GOING TO RULE TODAY AND WE'LL PROBABLY COMMENT AT SOME POINT IN THE NEXT NUMBER OF DAYS OR WEEKS WHERE WE FIND OUT WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO. >> ALL RIGHT, ALEX BERNARD, GLAD YOU'RE TRACKING THIS FOR US. THANKS, GUYS. WELL, NINE PEOPLE HAVE NOW DIED AFTER A LISTERIA OUTBREAK TIED TO BOAR'S HEAD DELI. AND ANOTHER 57 PEOPLE ACROSS 18 STATES HAVE GOTTEN SICK. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST NUMBERS FROM THE CDC. NOW, THE FAMILY OF ONE VICTIM, AN 88-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO HAD SURVIVED THE HOLOCAUST, HAS ANNOUNCED PLANS TO FILE A WRONGFUL DEATH SUIT. THE PROBLEM FIRST DISCOVERED IN A BOAR'S HEAD, LIVER SAMPLE IN MARYLAND. OUR MORGAN NORWOOD HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE INVESTIGATION AND ALSO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT HERE. THE LATEST NEWS ON OUTBREAK. WHAT DO WE KNOW? HI, KYRA. WELL, IT'S REALLY CONCERNING FOR OFFICIALS, ALSO THE GENERAL PUBLIC HERE. AS YOU POINTED OUT, THE TOLL HAS CLIMBED DRAMATICALLY OVERNIGHT, NOW AT NINE, JUMPING BY SIX IN TERMS OF DEATHS OVERNIGHT. BUT HOSPITALIZATIONS, THE NUMBER THERE GROWING 57. AND I CAN TELL YOU THIS, THE OUTBREAK IS ALSO SPREADING, AS YOU SEE THERE, TO 18 STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND THE CDC WORRIED HERE THAT THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF SICK PEOPLE COULD BE MUCH HIGHER. WHEN PEOPLE GET SICK, TYPICALLY, THEY USUALLY RECOVER AFTER A FEW DAYS, DON'T NECESSARILY REQUIRE HOSPITALIZATION. BUT AGAIN, THE CDC IS DEFINITELY LOCKED ON THIS PARTICULAR OUTBREAK. REGARDING DELI MEAT, THERE. SO WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS JUST TO LOOK OUT FOR, IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE EATEN SOME OF THIS RECALLED MEAT? >> WELL, TYPICALLY YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY, RIGHT? >> YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE TYPICAL, YOU KNOW, SICKNESS FEELING, YOU KNOW, DIZZINESS, TIREDNESS, MUSCLE ACHES. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FEEL GREAT ,GOING TO FEEL REALLY YUCKY. IT'S REALLY RISKY FOR FOLKS WHO ARE OVER 65. AND, OF COURSE PREGNANT PEOPLE AS WELL. I WILL POINT THIS OUT. MOST PEOPLE, ACCORDING TO THE CDC RECOVER WITHOUT IMMEDIATE MEDICAL CARE AND THEREFORE ARE NEVER REALLY TESTED FOR IT. THAT GOES BACK TO WHAT I SAID. BUT THE CDC BEING CONCERNED THAT THERE COULD BE MORE PEOPLE ACTUALLY SICK. IT COULD ALSO TAKE UP TO FOUR WEEKS TO DETERMINE WHETHER SICK PERSON IS RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR OUTBREAK. SO THIS IS REALLY TRICKY TO DIAGNOSE. ALSO, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT SYMPTOMS USUALLY SET IN IMMEDIATELY, BUT SOMETIMES CAN TAKE UP TO TEN WEEKS TO START. SO THAT'S WHAT MAKES LISTERIA REALLY TRICKY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW ABOUT AVOIDING JUST GETTING SICK? AND ALSO, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING, DO WE, YOU KNOW, WHEN CAN WE BUY BOAR'S HEAD AGAIN? YEAH, I IMAGINE THAT'S THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION FROM FOLKS HERE IN NEW YORK. I MEAN, THEY LOVE THE DELI MEAT, THEY LOVE THEIR SANDWICHES, ESPECIALLY AT THE BODEGAS HERE. I MEAN, IT'S REALLY GOING COME DOWN TO A GOOD OLD FASHIONED GOOD MEAL PREP HERE. CHILL MEAT AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE. YOU WANT TO USE A THERMOMETER IF YOU CAN USE READY TO MEAT, READY TO EAT MEATS REALLY QUICKLY. PAY ATTENTION TO THAT DATE, WASH YOUR VEGGIES, CLEAN YOUR FRIDGE REGULARLY, CLEAN YOUR COOKING SURFACES, COOK FOOD THOROUGHLY. AND A BONUS, I THINK, GOES WITHOUT SAYING, KYRA, JUST WASH YOUR HANDS. >> ALL RIGHT. >> MORGAN, THANK YOU. WELL, COMING UP, A MYSTERY HOMICIDE AND TEN PUPPIES MISSING. HOW IT'S TIED TOGETHER AFTER THE BREAK. >> WHENEVER OUR NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR, ENROLLING THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS TOWN FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE.

POLICE SAY THAT 46 YEAR OLD STEVE STEPHANIE EBBS SPENT NIGHT ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS DURING A VIOLENT STORM AFTER HE GOT LOST DURING AN ANNUAL CHARITY HIKE TO RAISE MONEY FOR WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN. >> OUR TREVOR AULT HAS ALL THE DETAILS. >> WHAT STARTED AS AN OFFICE HIKING RETREAT TURNED INTO A RESCUE EXPEDITION IN COLORADO AFTER A MAN WAS LEFT BY HIS COWORKERS.

AND TIME AGAIN TO REPORT SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN. AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I'M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, TAKING IT TO THE BATTLEGROUND STATES. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKING THEIR PITCHES TO CRUCIAL SWING VOTERS RIGHT NOW. HARRIS ON A BUS TOUR IN GEORGIA, THE STATE PRESIDENT BIDEN NARROWLY WON FOUR YEARS AGO. POLLS SHOWING THAT THE VP PUT THAT STATE BACK IN PLAY FOR DEMOCRATS AND TAKING OVER THE TICKET. AND THEN ON THE GOP SIDE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP RALLYING IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. TRUMP WON BOTH STATES IN 2016 BUT LOST THEM IN 2020. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT PARKS, ALSO SENIOR REPORTER AT KATHERINE FAULDERS JOINING US NOW. SO MARYALICE HARRIS AND WALZ TALKING TO VOTERS IN RURAL AND REPUBLICAN PARTS OF GEORGIA. DO THEY HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING THEM OVER? SO INTERESTING, KYRA, POLLS SHOW THAT THERE'S BEEN A REAL TIGHTENING IN THE RACE IN THAT STATE. INTERESTING THAT OVERNIGHT THERE WAS ACTUALLY A FOX NEWS POLL THAT SHOWED HARRIS UP OVER TRUMP IN GEORGIA JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. HE WAS ENJOYING QUITE A BIT OF A LEAD THERE. OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A STATE THAT BIDEN JUST EKED OUT. 2020 DEMOCRATS HAD HOPED TO KEEP IT BLUE. BUT THEY ARE FEELING REALLY CONFIDENT. THE HARRIS TEAM BOASTING THAT THEY'VE HAD 30,000 NEW VOLUNTEERS IN THAT STATE WHO HAVE COME ON BOARD SINCE HARRIS TOOK OVER THE TICKET. >> AND THEY'RE MAKING REAL PITCH, LIKE YOU SAID, TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN THE STATE. REMEMBER THE REPUBLICAN FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF THAT STATE SPOKE IN CHICAGO AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. HE TALKED ABOUT WHAT HE SAID WAS HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH TRUMP TRYING TO GET OFFICIALS THERE TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION RESULTS. HE SAID THAT IN HIS MIND, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISQUALIFYING BEHAVIOR THERE IN GEORGIA AND. CLEARLY, DEMOCRATS THINK THAT IS A MESSAGE THAT MIGHT RESONATE WITH OTHER REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN GEORGIA WHO THEY THINK, YOU KNOW, REALLY FELT LIKE THEIR VOTES WERE DISREGARDED AND DISRESPECTED BY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ACTIONS THERE WITH GEORGIA LAST GO AROUND. SO, CATHERINE, POLLS STILL SHOWING IT COMES TO THE ECONOMY AND TRUMP VOTERS LOVE HIM. SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IN THE RUST BELT STATES THIS WEEK. IS THIS A SURE THING FOR HIM? WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A SURE THING FOR KYRA. YOU POINT OUT THAT OBVIOUSLY TRUMP IS UP IN SOME POLLS WITH THE ECONOMY. SOME POLLS HAVE HIM UP BY NINE POINTS, FOR EXAMPLE, OVERALL AS IT RELATES TO THE ECONOMY. BUT THE REALITY OF THIS IS IS THAT HE NEEDS TO MAINTAIN THAT LEAD. OF COURSE WITH THE HORSE RACE. BUT ON THE ISSUES IN PARTICULAR, OF COURSE IS GOING TO BE RUNNING ON THE ECONOMY QUITE OFTEN HE'S GOING BE DOING THESE POLICY SPEECHES. BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS, IS HIS POLICY ON THE ECONOMY. THE CAMPAIGN WILL POINT BACK TO WHAT HE DID AT WHITE HOUSE, BUT HE HASN'T REALLY OFFERED MANY SPECIFICS THAT YET ,WHERE TRUMP AND HIS CAMPAIGN WILL FOCUS OR SPECIFICALLY ON THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES. HE HAS NOT CAMPAIGNED OUTSIDE A BATTLEGROUND IN OVER TWO WEEKS. SO I THINK HE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT FROM DONALD TRUMP AND HIS CAMPAIGN. SO, MARYALICE, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING OUT FOR IN TODAY'S INTERVIEW? HARRIS AND WALZ CLEARLY, EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE TRUMP LOVE TO HAMMER ON HER FOR NOT GIVING ANY INTERVIEWS SINCE RISING TO THE TOP OF THE TICKET. YEAH, KAREN, I THINK THAT WAS FAIR CRITICISM. I MEAN, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN STEPPING ASIDE. SHE DOES HAVE TWO SEPARATE QUESTIONS. AND WE ARE CURIOUS, OF COURSE, NOT ONLY HOW SHE'S GOING TO EXPLAIN SOME OF HER TRANSITION EVOLUTION ON KEY POLICY ISSUES FROM THE BORDER TO CRIME TO THINGS LIKE ENERGY AND FRACKING, THINGS THAT SHE SAID IN 2019 WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT THAT SHE NOW IS WALKING BACK. BUT, OF COURSE, A WHITE HOUSE REPORTER. I'M SO CURIOUS HOW SHE'S GOING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE CRUCIAL DAYS WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN DECIDED TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE. I MEAN, REPUBLICANS HAVE TRIED TO PAINT THIS AS SOME GRAND COVER UP HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT'S FAIR, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE KNEW AND WHAT HER CONVERSATIONS WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN WERE LIKE. OBVIOUSLY, LIKE YOU SAID, A LOT OF EYES ON THIS INTERVIEW COMING TONIGHT. INDEED. AND ALSO, CATHERINE, THE STORY WE WERE FOLLOWING YESTERDAY IS YESTERDAY, THE SACRED GROUND OF ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY . THE ARMY IS NOW OUT WITH A STATEMENT ON WHAT HAPPENED, INVOLVED SEEING TRUMP THERE AT THE CEMETERY. WHAT'S THE. WHAT'S THE ARMY SAYING? YEAH, THE ARMY IS SAYING THAT THAT STAFFER OF ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY THAT WAS INVOLVED IN, THIS ALTERCATION, THIS ALLEGED ALTERCATION, IF YOU WILL, WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THE STAFFER WAS ESSENTIALLY TELLING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN THEY COULDN'T FILM AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION WHERE RECENT VETERANS WERE BURIED CALLED SECTION 60. THE ARMY, THAT THAT STAFFER HAS DECLINED TO PRESS ANY CHARGES, BUT THE ARMY ALSO SAYS IN A STATEMENT THAT THAT EMPLOYEE IN HER PROFESSIONALISM WERE UNFAIRLY ATTACKED. THIS CAME AFTER THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ACCUSED THIS EMPLOYEE OF HAVING A MENTAL ILLNESS OF SORTS WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. SO THE ARMY COURSE IS DEFENDING THAT EMPLOYEE. AND THEY SAID THAT THE MATTER LEAST IN TERMS OF ANY INVESTIGATION INTO IT, IS CLOSED. >> ALSO MAKING THE THAT THE STAFF THERE CONTINUES TO ENSURE PUBLIC CEREMONIES ARE WITH THE DIGNITY AND RESPECT THAT THE NATION'S FALLEN DESERVE. AND IF INDEED PICTURES WERE TAKEN THAT WERE INAPPROPRIATE, IT ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE THE WRONG THING TO DO. MAYBE WE WILL EVENTUALLY SEE SOME VIDEO OF THAT MOMENT, IF INDEED IT EXISTS. MARYALICE AND CATHERINE, THANKS SO MUCH. SO HARRIS AND WALZ HAVE GEORGIA ON THEIR MIND. A GOOD REASON. THE STATE IS A CRUCIAL STEP ON THEIR PLANNED JOURNEY TO, THE WHITE HOUSE IN THIS ELECTION. AND THAT'S WHY DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS AT EVERY LEVEL ARE FANNING ACROSS THE PEACH STATE, HOPING TO CONVINCE THEIR CONSTITUENTS TO GET OUT TO THE POLLS THIS NOVEMBER. MY NEXT GUEST, ONE OF THOSE WITH BOOTS ON THE GROUND, GEORGIA STATE SENATOR DEREK MARLOW, REPRESENTS THE STATE'S SECOND DISTRICT. GOOD TO SEE YOU. LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT THE RULE. DEMOCRATS NOW THAT HAVE LONG CRITICIZED NATIONAL CANDIDATES, AS YOU KNOW, FOR ONLY FOCUSING ON ATLANTA RATHER THAN REACHING OUT TO ALL THOSE VOTERS IN THE RURAL AREAS, IN THE SMALLER CITIES, SAVANNAH. SO NOW WE'VE HAVE HARRIS AND WALZ ATTEMPTING GAIN IN THESE LONG IGNORED AREAS. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STARTING THE TRIP THERE IN SAVANNAH. THE SIGNIFICANCE IS HUGE HERE. THE ENERGY ON THE GROUND IS UNPARALLELED TO ANYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. IN FACT, THE LAST TIME WE'VE SEEN THIS TYPE OF ENERGY WAS AROUND 1992 WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND HE CAME TO SOUTH GEORGIA AND THEY HAD BUBBA'S FOR BILL. SO THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND GOVERNOR WALZ COMING TO SOUTH GEORGIA TO TALK TO FOLKS WHO THEY KNOW ARE IN THEIR CORNER, BUT TO ALSO TALK TO FOLKS THAT THEY HOPE TO SWAY AND PERSUADE, TO JOIN THIS TICKET, TO JOIN THIS MOVEMENT, TO RECEIVE THE ENERGY FROM THIS CAMPAIGN, AND TO UNDERSTAND THAT SHE'S GOING TO PLACES WHERE PEOPLE MAY NOT VOTE FOR HER. AND THAT'S THE TESTAMENT OF THIS CAMPAIGN. THE VICE PRESIDENT IS TAKING ON YOU KNOW, I HAD TO CHUCKLE BECAUSE I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT BUBBA'S FOUR, BILL. YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING BACK A WAYS THERE. I'M IMPRESSED, SENATOR. WELL, GEORGIA DEMOCRATS HAVE LARGE INVESTMENTS INTO MAKING INROADS INTO TRADITIONALLY PRO GOP SOUTHERN GEORGIA. SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE ARE AND JUST THE CHANCE FOR SUCCESS HERE? >> WE'VE WE'VE BUILT A SOLID INFRASTRUCTURE OF KNOCKING DOORS, GRASSROOTS SUPPORTERS, NEW VOLUNTEERS SIGNING UP EVERY DAY, OUR FOLKS GETTING OFF THE COUCH AND COMING ON AND HITTING THIS CAMPAIGN AND FOLKS THAT WERE NOT BIDEN-HARRIS SUPPORTERS INITIALLY, WHICH IS TESTAMENT TO THE WORK HAPPENING HERE IN SOUTH GEORGIA. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS CAME IN CAMPAIGNING, OUR TWO U.S. SENATORS, TO BE ELECTED FOUR YEARS AGO IN 2020 WHEN THEY WERE IN A RUNOFF. THAT WAS VICE. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WAS SENATOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK AND SENATOR JON OSSOFF. AND WE DELIVER TO DEMOCRATIC FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA BECAUSE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS CAME TO SAVANNAH AND, TOLD US SHE NEEDED THEM TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE SO THAT SHE COULD BREAK EVERY TIME THAT WAS NEEDED. AND GUESS WHAT? WE DID THAT AND SHE DID THAT. >> YOU KNOW, GEORGIA STATE ELECTIONS BOARD, THEY IMPLEMENTED THE SERIES OF CHANGES TO GIVE LOCAL OFFICIALS MORE POWER OVER ELECTIONS EVER SINCE. AND WE'LL NEVER FORGET THAT INFAMOUS PHONE CALL IN 2020 WHERE TRUMP IS ACTUALLY HEARD PRESSURING GEORGIA'S SECRETARY OF STATE TO FIND HIM. THE VOTES THAT HE NEEDED TO WIN. ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HOW THESE LAWS COULD IMPACT WHAT HAPPENS IN NOVEMBER? AND ARE YOU ABOUT A REPEAT OF THAT CHAOS THAT WE SAW IN GEORGIA? ABSOLUTELY. THE 2020 CLAIMS THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN HAVE BEEN UNFOUNDED. I SERVE ON THE STATE ETHICS COMMITTEE AND WE PASSED A SERIES OF ELECTION MEASURES, ALL OF WHICH I DISAGREED WITH THIS SESSION. AND SO FOR US TO CONVENE SIGNING DAY, I GET OUT OF SESSION AND TO THE STATE ELECTION BOARD INTRODUCE NEW RULES THAT WOULD ALLOW COUNTIES NOT CERTIFY ELECTIONS. ONE, IT VIOLATES STATE LAW. NUMBER TWO, VIOLATES THE WILL OF THE CITIZENS THAT ELECT REPRESENTATIVES, PASS LAWS CONCERNING ELECTIONS. AND SO THOSE BILLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERLY DEBATED SO THAT THERE'S A RECORD OF IT. BUT HAVE AN UNELECTED, UNACCOUNTABLE ELECTION BOARD THAT IS JUST DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO. AND THAT'S EGREGIOUS AND IT JUST CAN'T HAPPEN. AND SO GOVERNOR CAMP AND THE GOP LEADERS OF THIS STATE NEED TO STEP UP AND GET IT BACK BOLD AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE VIOLATED STATE LAW AND NO COMMITTEE, NO BOARD CAN INTRODUCE ANY RULE THAT SUPERSEDES STATE LAW. >> JUST SEE, IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. GOT IT. WELL, SPEAKING OF GEORGIA GOVERNOR BRIAN KEMP, HE HAS LONG BEEN CRITICAL OF TRUMP AND THE FEELING USED TO BE MUTUAL. NOW, IRONICALLY, KEMP IS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WITH TRUMP. DO YOU THINK THAT THIS COULD ACTUALLY BRING REPUBLICANS IN GEORGIA BACK TO TRUMP? >> YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE THERE WITH KEMP, REPUBLICAN. IT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN AFFINITY TO THIS GOVERNOR LIKE NO, HE ATTACKED HIS CHARACTER THAT HE ATTACKED HIS WIFE. HE ALSO HIS STATE AND WHICH I MEAN I DON'T THINK THERE'S A COME BACK FROM THAT. AND I HOPE MANY KEMP REPUBLICANS SEE THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT. CLEARLY, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THE GUY THAT REPRESENT YOUR PARTY PARTY. BUT IF THEY GO ON THAT FORCE AND CONTINUE FORWARD, THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SIT THIS ELECTION OUT. A VOTE FOR VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS, THE BEST CHOICE FOR DEMOCRACY. >> I KNEW YOU WERE GOING THERE . DEMOCRATIC STATE SENATOR OF GEORGIA'S SECOND DISTRICT, DEREK MALONE. GOOD. SEE YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, TENSIONS ARE EXPLODING IN ISRAEL AS THE FAMILIES OF HOSTAGES STILL BEING HELD IN BRIEFLY BREACHED A FENCE SURROUNDING THEIR KIBBUTZ. VIDEO WAS TAKEN DURING THE PROTEST AND IT CAPTURES RELATIVES ACTUALLY THROUGH AND RUNNING TOWARD GAZA BEFORE BEING STOPPED. ISRAELI POLICE. BUT THE PROTEST DID CONTINUE WITH MOTHERS HEARD SHOUTING. IF THE NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT DOES NOT SAVE OUR SONS, WE WILL SAVE THEM. VIOLENCE CLEARLY EXPANDING OUTSIDE OF GAZA AS WELL AND INTO THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. ISRAEL CARRYING ITS BIGGEST MILITARY OPERATION THERE IN DECADES. AND TODAY, ISRAEL CONFIRMED IT HAS KILLED A TOP COMMANDER THERE IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORY. OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT WAS ON THE GROUND IN THE WEST AND HAS ALL THE DETAILS ON WHAT SHE WITNESSED. >> BRET. >> HI, CAROL. YOU CAN SEE EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO CLEAN UP THE AREA AFTER THE IDF SWEPT THROUGH HERE. MOST OF THE HOUSES ON THIS STREET WERE RAIDED BY THE IDF. THERE ARE BULLET MARKS EVERYWHERE, SMASHED WINDOWS. A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE HERE WAS DAMAGED. >> AND YOU CAN SEE HERE BEHIND WHERE THIS MOSQUE WAS, IT IS NOW JUST CHARRED REMAINS THIS PART OF THE IDF SWEEPING RAID, THE WEST BANK IN MULTIPLE CITIES INVOLVING HUNDREDS OF TROOPS THE BIGGEST RAID THAT WE'VE SEEN IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS KYRA. >> RIGHT. BRITT CLENNETT FOR US THERE IN THE WEST BANK. BRET, THANK YOU. AND THEN BACK HERE IN THE STATES, RECORD-BREAKING HEAT JUST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH GETS WAY. MORE THAN 17 MILLION AMERICANS SCORCHING UNDER ALERTS ACROSS 12 STATES. SOME CITIES WILL SEE TEMPS EVEN 100 DEGREES. MILLIONS OF YOU NOW EXPECTED TRAVEL THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND AS WELL. AND MORE THAN 17 MILLION PASSENGERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SCREENED AT TSA CHECKPOINTS IN ATLANTA, CHICAGO, DALLAS. THEY'RE ALL EXPECTED TO BE BUSIEST AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY. OUR METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN TRACKING THE EXTREME HEAT AND YOUR HOLIDAY TRAVEL FORECAST. BUT LET'S GO AND BEGIN WITH ATLANTA, ATHENS OF OUR ABC AFFILIATE IN RALEIGH, ATLANTA. YOU'RE IN KERRY, NORTH CAROLINA, I UNDERSTAND, WERE FIRST RESPONDERS ARE OUT THERE BRAVING RECORD-BREAKING HEAT. WHAT ARE THEY DEALING WITH TODAY? YEAH, THIS INTENSE HEAT, THE POOR AIR QUALITY IS MAKING THE JOB EVEN HARDER FOR FIRST RESPONDERS. A BATTALION CHIEF HERE SAYS THAT THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THESE HOMES CAN REACH UP TO A THOUSAND THOUSAND DEGREES. SO LET ME SHOW YOU RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE RIGHT OVER HERE ARE SOME FIREFIGHTERS TAKING SOME REST IN SHADE AND GETTING MUCH NEEDED REPRIEVE. THEY'RE LIMITED HOW LONG THEY CAN STAY INSIDE THE HOME AND FIGHT THE FIRE. EACH FIREFIGHTER HAS TO BE CHECKED BY EMS ONCE THEY DO COME AND THEN THEY'RE ALLOWED TO GO BACK INTO ROTATION. THERE'S A NUMBER OF COOLERS THAT ARE SET UP HERE ON SITE WHERE. THEY CAN COME PICK UP A NICE COLD BOTTLE OF WATER. SO WE'VE SEEN NOT ONLY FIREFIGHTERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS, BUT ALSO PARAMEDICS AND RESPONDING POLICE OFFICERS. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE STEPS THEY'RE TAKING TO. STAY SAFE AS WE DO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS HEAT. I KNOW FIREFIGHTERS OR FIRST RESPONDER WAS HURT OR NEEDED TO BE TREATED FOR A HEAT RELATED ILLNESS. SOME AREA HOSPITALS, HOWEVER, SAY DAILY THEY ARE TREATING PEOPLE IN THEIR E.R. FOR A HEAT RELATED ILLNESS. BACK TO YOU, KYRA ALL RIGHT. >> APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MELISSA. YOU KNOW, WHERE IS THE BIGGEST HEAT THREAT RIGHT NOW? AND WHAT CAN PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAVELING EXPECT THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND, YOU THINK? >> WELL, KYRA, EVERYONE HERE IN THE NORTHEAST IS HAPPY THE HEAT IS FINALLY OVER. IT WAS PRETTY EXTREME FOR THAT ONE DAY WITH D.C. BREAKING ,THAT RECORD OF 101 DEGREES YESTERDAY. BUT LOOK AT THIS. WE STILL HAVE DANGEROUS HEAT FOR MILLIONS FROM CINCINNATI, STILL UNDER A HEAT ADVISORY. THIS IS THE HEAT INDEX, WHAT IT WILL FEEL LIKE THIS AFTERNOON. WE HAVE HEAT ADVISORIES STRETCHING ALL THE WAY TO MISSISSIPPI AND BACK THROUGH. THERE YOU GO, NORTH CAROLINA, RALEIGH WILL FEEL LIKE 102 TODAY. BUT LOOK, THE RECORDS AREN'T OVER. WE STILL HAVE ACTUAL TEMPERATURES REACHING CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES. THAT COULD BREAK MORE DAILY RECORDS. LOUISVILLE, NASHVILLE, CHARLESTON, VIRGINIA. RALEIGH. BUT THEN THE HEAT WILL FINALLY START TO END AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. AND WHAT COMES ALONG WITH THIS HEAT? WELL, IT'S FUELING EXTREME SEVERE STORMS, TORNADOES BREAKING OUT IN PARTS OF THE DAKOTAS NIGHT. AND THAT STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN SEVERE EARLIER THIS WEEK, ARE STILL CLEANING UP THERE IN THE TWIN CITIES. MORE DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL, POSSIBLY ISOLATED TORNADOES. THAT'S TONIGHT. THE SYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON FRIDAY, REACH NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY. SO AS WE KICK OFF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. PLACES LIKE PITTSBURGH UP THROUGH WESTERN NEW YORK, SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AND BEHIND IT, MUCH COOLER AIR. SO REALLY GOING TO SAY GOODBYE TO THE AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAY KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT, MELISSA, THANKS SO MUCH. ALINA, THANKS TO YOU AS WELL. COMING UP, FBI FAILURE HOW THE AGENCY IS ACCUSED OF MISHANDLING CHILD SEX ABUSE ALLEGATIONS EVEN AFTER PROMISING TO MAKE CHANGES. ALSO, THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER CASE. WHY THE SUSPECT AND HIS LEGAL TEAM ARE PUSHING TO HAVE THE TRIAL MOVED OUT OF TOWN FOR >>. >> IF YOU WERE COMING OF AGE IN THE 1980S, THE BRAT PACK HERE, THE CENTER OF YOUR CULTURAL AWARENESS. BUT FOR THOSE OF US, IT FROM THE INSIDE, THE BRAT PACK WAS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. IF YOU HAVE A BRAT PACK NAME NOT EXIST, WOULD YOU? >> I HATED IT. WHAT A DISASTER. >> WHY DID WE TAKE IT AS AN OFFENSIVE ADDRESS? LIKE, SAY WE WERE THE BEATLES, RIGHT? >> WELL, IT WAS STILL SHEA STADIUM, 1980 FIVE. I THINK WE COULD HAVE HEARD HER. 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 RIGHT TO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD R. MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO. YOU START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR FIRST LISTEN. >> NOW, THAT'S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING. WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. ALL RIGHT. THE FBI'S HANDLING OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS. A NEW WATCHDOG REPORT BY THE FBI INSPECTOR GENERAL SUGGESTS THE FBI PROPERLY ADDRESS TIPS ABOUT FORMER U.S. GYMNASTICS PHYSICIAN NASSAR. EVEN AFTER NASSAR PLEADED GUILTY TO ABUSING SEVEN GIRLS. AND THE BUREAU DIRECTOR APOLOGIZED TO VICTIMS . OUR ALEX MELLEN JOINING US NOW WITH THE LATEST ON THIS. SO THE INSPECTOR HAD ALREADY CRITICIZED THE FBI FOR HOW IT HANDLED TIPS RELATED TO NASSAR IN THE PAST. BUT THIS REPORT SUGGESTS THE FBI JUST CONTINUED TO MISHANDLE TIPS EVEN AFTER IT PROMISED TO MAKE CHANGES. >> YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT, KYRA. OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD AFTER THE FBI, YOU REMEMBER, ISSUED THAT SCATHING 2021 REPORT THAT DETAILED HOW THE FBI COMPLETELY BOTCHED ITS INVESTIGATION TO THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST LARRY NASSAR. THEY SAID OVER THAT MONTH PERIOD, THERE WERE ABOUT 4000 INSTANCES OF OTHER SIMILAR CHILD SEX ABUSE RELATED CASES THAT WERE BROUGHT TO THE FBI. THEY CHOSE TO DO AN AUDIT OF ABOUT 392 OF THOSE CASES AND 42 OF THOSE 392, THEY FOUND THAT'S ABOUT 13% OF THOSE CASES FOUND WERE SO DEFICIENT HANDLED THAT THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FBI, SAY YOU NEED TO IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW UP ON THESE AGAIN HERE NOW. THAT JUST SHOWS THAT THE FBI HAS HAD A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM THAT, AGAIN, IT FAILED TO ADDRESS. >> EVEN AFTER YOU HEARD FBI DIRECTOR WRAY GO BEFORE PERSONALLY APOLOGIZE TO THOSE GYMNASTS AND SAY THAT THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. >> AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE U.S. GYMNASTICS CASE, HOW THE FBI HANDLES CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS IN. >> SO WHO WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE? YEAH, THAT'S A BIG QUESTION AFTER THIS ONE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE SENATE JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN, DICK DURBIN ,THAT HE'S GOING TO CALL THE FBI SENIOR OFFICIALS TO TESTIFY ON THIS REPORT. THE FBI KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SAYS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF THESE. >> IT SEEMS THAT IT'S A MORE OF A MINORITY OF CASES AND THEY'RE KIND OF SHIFTING TO PAPERWORK AS A POTENTIAL ISSUE. AND THEY ALSO NOTE THAT THEY ARE STRAINED IN THEIR RESOURCES. THEY NOTE IN THE RECENT YEARS, THERE HAVE BEEN A FLOOD OF, THESE KIND OF REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THEM, AND IN SOME CASES, ONE AGENT IN THIS QUOTED IN THIS REPORT SAID THAT HE WAS HANDLING 65 CASES AT ONE TIME. AND THAT IS CERTAINLY A RESOURCE PROBLEM THAT THE FBI NEEDS TO ADDRESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS. >> WELL, FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY APOLOGIZED TO LARRY NASSER'S VICTIMS BEFORE CONGRESS IN 2021, SAYING THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE AT THE FBI WHO HAD THEIR OWN CHANCE TO STOP MONSTER BACK IN 2015 AND FAILED. HE WENT ON TO SAY IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. AND WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER. MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. SO WHAT DOES THIS REPORT SAY ABOUT CHANGES THE FBI PUT INTO PLACE OR DIDN'T PUT INTO PLACE? >> YEAH, THERE'S A SERIES OF ABOUT 11 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL PUTS FORWARD THAT HE SAYS THE FBI MUST IMPLEMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CHANGES ACTUALLY GO INTO EFFECT. KEEP MIND FROM THAT NASSAR REPORT, THEY ALSO NOTE THAT THERE'S STILL OPEN RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THAT REPORT IN 2021 THAT THEY SAY STILL NEED TO BE ON ON A DAILY BASIS BY THE FBI. I EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE CONTINUED AUDITS OF THIS PROGRAM, OBVIOUSLY, THAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL SEES THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. AND I THINK THE FBI DOES SEE IT AS A SERIOUS ISSUE, WANT TO ADDRESS IT. AND I THINK THAT WE'RE JUST GOING TO SEE IN THE COMING MONTHS, YOU KNOW, HOW THAT HOW THEY GO ABOUT THAT THE BEST WAY KYRA. >> WE'LL FOLLOW IT. ALEX, THANKS WELL, THE SUSPECT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, BRIAN COWORKER, IS BACK IN COURT TODAY IN AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE HIS TRIAL LOCATION. IN NEW COURT DOCUMENTS, THE DEFENSE SAYS ONLY WAY FOR BRIAN CABANA TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF IT HAPPENS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTY. BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY. >> LET'S BRING IN OUR ALEX STONE, ALONG WITH CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND FORMER PROSECUTOR BERNARD VILONIA, MORE. SO, ALEX, THAT HEARING IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW. I KNOW YOU'RE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT. WHAT ARE THE DEFENSE'S ARGUMENTS FOR FOR MOVING THIS TRIAL, THIS POINT? >> AND WHERE EXACTLY DO THEY WANT IT MOVED TO? >> WELL, KYRA, THEY CLAIM THAT HE CANADA KOHBERGER CANNOT GET A FAIR TRIAL IN UTAH COUNTY, THAT THE MEDIA EXPOSURE HAS BEEN TOO GREAT, THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH MOTION IN THE COUNTY. THEY WANT MOVED UP TO BOISE ABOUT 300 MILES AWAY BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT THEIR PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING AS CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT. THEY'RE NOT AS TO IT THEY'RE NOT EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED TO THE VICTIMS. SO COURT A FEW MOMENTS AGO THEY HAD A MEDIUM MEDIA MONITORING OWNER ON SOMEBODY WHO LISTENS TO THE RADIO, THEIR SERVICE LISTENS TO TV BROADCASTS, LOOKS AT NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS TO SAY THIS IS THE MEDIA COVERAGE IN LATER COUNTY VERSUS ELSEWHERE. AND THIS WITNESS FOR THE DEFENSE THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT MORE IN THE MOSCOW AREA THAN IN BOISE TRYING TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT IT SHOULD BE MOVED TO BOISE. >> SO BERNARDO, DO YOU THINK AND WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES THAT GOVERN WHEN A TRIAL EVEN BE MOVED? >> YES. >> SO THE JUDGE WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS A REASONABLE LIKELIHOOD THAT MR. COBOURG WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A FAIR TRIAL IN THAT COUNTY. AND USUALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CHANGE OF VENUE, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR A TRIAL TO BE GRANTED A CHANGE OF VENUE. SO IN THIS, OF COURSE, THE JUDGE IS GOING TO LOOK LOOK, IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE JURORS THAT CAN BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL? BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER YOU HEARD ABOUT THE CASE, WHETHER YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CASE, BUT WHETHER YOU CAN PUT THOSE FEELINGS AND JUDGE THE EVIDENCE AS IT'S PRESENTED INSIDE OF THE COURTROOM. I THINK IT'S UNLIKELY THAT THE JUDGE IS GOING TO GRANT THIS CHANGE OF VENUE. BUT THEN AGAIN, HE MAY BE THINKING, HEY, IF THIS COMES ON APPEAL, DO WE WANT THIS TO COME BACK ON APPEAL? IF THERE'S A CONVICTION. >> SO, BERNER, WHAT'S YOUR READ ON HOW STRONG THE IS RIGHT NOW AGAINST COBOURG? I MEAN, PROSECUTORS SAY THEY HAVE DNA EVIDENCE, SECURITY FOOTAGE, CELL PHONE DATA. SO THE CASE BEING PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION IS A CIRCUMSTANTIAL ONE BECAUSE THERE'S NO DIRECT EVIDENCE, NO DIRECT TESTIMONY THAT'S AVAILABLE TO SAY THAT. BRIAN. AND COLD BURGLAR THEY SAW WITH OWN EYES. >> BRIAN COLD BURGER STABBED THESE FOUR VICTIMS BUT STILL CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE SOMETIMES IS STRONGER THAN DIRECT EVIDENCE. SO THEY'RE DEALING WITH THE VIDEOTAPE AND SURVEILLANCE OF HIS CAR AROUND IN THE AREA, THEY'RE DEALING ALSO WITH CELL PHONES THAT THE SENSE THAT HIS PHONE WAS TURNED OFF THE WING, THE TIME THAT THEY SAID THAT HE WAS IN THE AREA, AND ALSO DEALING WITH THAT, THE SHEATH WITH A KNIFE THAT WAS USED WAS ACTUALLY FOUND INSIDE OF THE HOUSE. SO THERE'S A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT'S BEING PRESENTED WILL BE PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER A JURY WILL FIND THAT THE PROSECUTION HAS PROVEN A CASE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT AND NOW GO FOR THE ALIBI DEFENSE. >> MR. GOLDBERGER IF IT'S GOING TO PRESENT. SO, ALEX, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? >> WELL, LATER ON TODAY, THERE IN BREAK RIGHT NOW, LATER ON TODAY, WE EXPECT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS SURVEY THAT THE DEFENSE DID WHERE THEY CENTERED AROUND AND THEY GOT BACK RESPONSES WHERE THEY CLAIM ONE PERSON IN LATER COUNTY SAID, I WILL BURN THE COURTHOUSE DOWN IF HE'S NOT CONVICTED. THEY CLAIM THERE'S THIS MOB MENTALITY. SO THEY'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. THEN IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO THE JUDGE. AND THE JUDGE PROBABLY WON'T RULE TODAY WILL PROBABLY BE A WRITTEN RULING IN A NUMBER OF DAYS OR WEEKS. AND WHEN THE TRIAL GETS GOING NEXT SUMMER. IS IT IN LAYTON COUNTY OR IS IT UP IN THE BOISE AREA? THE JUDGE COULD GO WITH IT OR THE JUDGE COULD DECIDE THAT HE WANTS A LOCAL IN THE BOISE AREA TO TO DEAL WITH IT UP THERE. BUT IT'LL BE UP TO THE JUDGE WHETHER THE CASE MOVES OUT OF MOSCOW ORHT. STAY TUNED, ALEX STONE, FOR NOT TO ALONE. >> THANKS, GUYS. COMING UP, THE PARIS SUMMER AREN'T OVER YET. THE PARALYMPICS ARE UNDERWAY AND OPENING DOWN THE CHANDELIERS. WELL, THEY WERE PRETTY INCREDIBLE. >> TAKE YOU THERE NEXT WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE, MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST.

WITH LESS THAN TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEBATE RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. UNRELENTING MILLIONS AMERICANS ROASTING AND RECORD BREAKING HEAT. HOW LONG THESE EXTREME WILL LAST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH GETS UNDER WAY AND UNDER FIRE. A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WATCHDOG SLAMMING THE FBI. THE BOMBSHELL REPORT SAYING THE BUREAU FAILED TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO REPORT CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN. AND GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, DUELING RALLIES. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS BARNSTORMING THE PEACH STATE WITH. HER RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ, WHILE FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP GETS SET TO SPEAK IN BOTH MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. POLLS SHOWING HARRIS HAS PUT GEORGIA BACK IN PLAY FOR DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER AFTER PRESIDENT BIDEN NARROWLY WON THAT AREA OR THAT STATE FOUR YEARS AGO. NO SURPRISE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALREADY BASHING THE POLLS. CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY PRINCE IS TRAVELING WITH HARRIS AND THE CAMPAIGN AND JOINS ME NOW FROM SAVANNAH. SO, MARY HARRIS AND WALZ WORK IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTS OF GEORGIA. DO THEY HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING THEM OVER? >> I'M SURE THEY CERTAINLY HOPE SO. BUT THE REAL OPPORTUNITY HERE, GEORGIA, THEY ARE OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY HAVE A CHANCE AT WINNING THE SUNBELT. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SEEN HARRIS AND WALL TAKING THESE RURAL PARTS OF SOUTHERN SOUTHEASTERN GEORGIA. AND THE CHALLENGE HERE IS THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, THE STATE WHERE FAR DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN LEADING. A NEW POLL JUST OUT YESTERDAY NOW SHOWS HARRIS UP BY TWO POINTS IN THAT STATE. OF COURSE, JOE BIDEN WON HERE VERY NARROWLY BACK IN 2020 BY LESS THAN 12,000 VOTES. AND HARRIS IS HOPING FOR THAT VICTORY. THE CAMPAIGN KNOWS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BEYOND JUST THE SORT OF TRADITIONAL URBAN CENTERS, JUST ATLANTA AND THE AREAS AROUND IT LIKE WE ARE GOING TO CUT IT. AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SEEING THEM MAKING WHAT IS A BIT OF A RARE MOVE TO GO THROUGH AND REACH OUT DIRECTLY TO THESE URBAN OR VOTERS HERE ON THESE SIGNATURE SHOWS. HOW IS HARRIS' APPROACH IN GEORGIA, YOU THINK, DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY PRESIDENT BIDEN CAMPAIGN THERE IN 2020? HE DIDN'T ACTUALLY REACH OUT DIRECTLY TO VOTERS IN THE SAME KIND WAY THAT HARRIS IS DOING NOW. IN A PART, OF COURSE, IT WAS A PANDEMIC ZONE WITH VERY DIFFERENT SITUATION. >> BUT ALSO HE DIDN'T REALLY AFFORD TO SPEND KIND OF TIME IN THE RURAL AREAS OF THE STATE. HE WAS MORE FOCUSED ON THOSE. I THINK TAKE MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA. WE DIDN'T SEE DO THIS KIND OF DIRECT PERSON TO PERSON OUTREACH. FOUR YEARS AGO NOW. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HARRIS DOING A LOT OF, YOU KNOW PROBABLY NOT. BUT THEY ARE HOPING THAT A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY TO GETTING OUT AND CONNECTING DIRECTLY WITH THESE WORKING CLASS RURAL VOTERS. >> WILL ENOUGH TO GET THEM TO COME OUT AND VOTE FOR HER. AND WHILE SOME NOVEMBER KYRA. MARY, ONE MORE QUESTION, IF YOU DON'T MIND. I KNOW THINGS ARE GETTING GOING THERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, HARRIS HAS BEEN LAYING LOW AFTER THE DNC, AS YOU KNOW. NOW, A WEEK LATER, SHE'S ON THIS BUS TOUR. SHE'S HER FIRST NETWORK INTERVIEW. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE STRATEGY WAS? WELL, LOOK, I THINK SHE'S TRYING TO BALANCE A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. >> SHE OBVIOUSLY WANTS TO BE OUT ON THE TRAIL. BUT THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, QUITE QUITE A BIG CONVENTION. AND I THINK THEY WANTED TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF ANY BOUNCE THAT THEY GOT OUT OF. THAT HERE, OF COURSE, IS HEALTHY DEBATE PREP FOR DONALD TRUMP. THAT IS 12 DAYS AWAY RIGHT HERE ON THE ON SEPTEMBER TEN. AND OF COURSE, HE GOT OUT TODAY IN THAT SIT DOWN INTERVIEW WITH THE CAMPAIGN. AND WE HAVE SEEN THE BIGGEST CRITICISM FOR NOT DOING PRESS CONFERENCE OR NOT DOING IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS. SO THEY'RE TRYING TO BALANCE ALL OF THAT NOW. CAN SEE IT'S CARRIED GEORGIA TODAY. THAT IS EXPECTED TO HIT THOSE RUST BELT STATES ON LABOR DAY IN DETROIT AND PITTSBURGH DURING HER FIRST CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN. SO SHE'S TRYING TO BALANCE DOING THAT AND ALSO GETTING OUT ON THE TRAIL. ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES IN GEORGIA, SAVANNAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARY AND WHILE THEY ARE IN GEORGIA TODAY, VP HARRIS AND GOVERNOR WALLACE JUST SAT DOWN FOR THEIR FIRST INTERVIEW AS WELL WITH THE DEMOCRAT AS THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG OUTSIDE WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JON KARL MAY HAVE AN ANSWER ON THAT. >> JON, YOUR THOUGHTS AND DO WE EXPECT HER TO TALK MORE TO THE MEDIA NOW? >> WELL, LOOK, IT DID TAKE A TIME, I MEAN, TO SEE NOT JUST KAMALA HARRIS, BUT ALSO TO SEE TIM WALZ, NOT TO ANY INTERVIEWS AND TAKE PRECIOUS FEW QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS IN ANY MOSTLY, YOU KNOW, QUICK LITTLE WHAT WE CALL GAGGLES NOT EVEN FORMAL PRESS CONFERENCES. I THINK THAT PART OF THE DELAY HERE WAS THAT HARRIS NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT A LOT OF THINGS VERY QUICKLY. SHE OBVIOUSLY NEEDED TO SECURE HER SPOT AS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. SHE DID CHOOSE HER RUNNING MATE AND THEN SHE NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE SHE STANDS AND THAT MAY SOUND KIND OF SIMPLE. SHE'S BEEN IN PUBLIC LIFE FOR HECK OF A LONG TIME. SHE'S BEEN VICE PRESIDENT FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS, BUT SHE'S BEEN THE SECOND FIDDLE TO JOE BIDEN. NOW SUDDENLY SHE IS THE CANDIDATE AND IT TAKES A RELOOKING AT ALL THE POSITIONS WHERE SHE MAY WANT TO DISTANCE HERSELF FROM WHERE BIDEN WAS WHERE SHE WANTS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHERE BIDEN WAS. BUT IT'S PUT IT'S PUT A HELL OF A LOT ON THIS INTERVIEW, KARA. THIS INTERVIEW BECOMES A LOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN SIMPLY A RUN OF THE MILL. I INTERVIEW WHERE SHE IS NOT SIMPLY ASKING QUESTIONS, ANSWERING QUESTIONS AS A CANDIDATE, BUT SHE'S MAKING POLICY, PRONOUNCING BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T REALLY DIRECTLY STATED WHAT HER POLICIES ARE. SO EVERY QUESTION IS NOT SIMPLY AN ANSWER. USUALLY THE POLICIES ARE ANNOUNCED. YOU HAVE AN INTERVIEW TO EXPLAIN YOUR POLICIES, DEFEND YOUR POLICIES, MAKE THE CASE FOR YOUR POLICIES. BUT IN THIS CASE, IN MANY, SHE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE OUTLINING WHAT STANDS FOR FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> YOU KNOW, YOU MAKE YOU MAKE AN INTERESTING POINT AND LET'S THINK OF HOW WE DO NETWORK INTERVIEWS. JOHN. RIGHT. WITH WITH WITH KEY, KEY LEADERS, WHETHER IT'S A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OR A WORLD LEADER, IF SHE HASN'T PUT ANYTHING OUT THERE, THAT IT'S HARD FOR US TO PUT TOGETHER QUESTIONS THAT COULD CHALLENGE HER OR, YOU KNOW, HAVE HAVE A BIT OF A DEEPER DISCUSSION. SO IT'S INTERESTING YOU MAKE THAT POINT. IF THERE'S NOT A LOT OUT THERE THAT WE KNOW ABOUT HER, SHE GIVES AN INTERVIEW. IT CHANGES THE DYNAMIC. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WITH REGARD TO THE CONVERSATION AND IT CERTAINLY CHANGES THAT ANEMIC. >> BUT -- BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF AND A LOT OF, FRANKLY, TOUGH QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED. >> AND I'M SURE DANA BASH WILL ASK AS MANY AS SHE CAN IN THE TIME THAT SHE IS, YOU KNOW, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AT ITS CONVENTION HAVE A PLATFORM, BUT THAT PLATFORM LITERALLY REFERRED TO JOE BIDEN, IT WAS IT WAS A IT WAS A PLATFORM THAT WAS OR WRITTEN AND THEN APPROVED SHORTLY AFTER BIDEN DROPPED OUT. THEY WANT TO OPEN IT UP AGAIN AND CREATE A WHOLE NEW PLATFORM. SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS YOU HAVE KAMALA HARRIS' POSITIONS THAT SHE TOOK IN 2019 WHEN SHE WAS PREPARING AND RUNNING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION BACK THEN AND WHEN SHE WAS POSITIONING HERSELF AS A PROGRESSIVE RUNNING TO THE LEFT OF THE DEMOCRATIC FRONT FOR THE THE LEFT BASE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THOSE POSITIONS WERE NOT THE POSITIONS THAT WERE TAKEN BY THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION AND WHICH HER PEOPLE SAY ARE NOT HER POSITIONS CURRENTLY. SO A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS WILL BE GOING BACK AND SAYING BACK, YOU KNOW, FOUR, FIVE YEARS AGO YOU TOOK POSITIONS X, Y AND Z NOW YOUR CAMPAIGN SUGGESTS YOU TAKE THESE OTHER, IN SOME CASES, VIRTUALLY DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED POSITIONS. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT? HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS IS SO SO THESE ARE THESE ARE QUESTIONS. IT'LL BE VERY INTERESTING HOW YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THAT SHE WILL OUTLINE VERY DIFFERENT POLICY POSITIONS ON ISSUES LIKE THE BORDER, ON ISSUES LIKE FRACKING, EVEN ON SOME OF THE ECONOMIC ISSUES. I THINK THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE OUTLINING DIFFERENT POSITIONS AND THE IS WHY WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR VIEWS? HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT. SO THESE ARE YOU KNOW I THINK THAT DANIELLE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MATERIAL TO WORK THROUGH. >> WELL, YOU AND I BOTH WORKED WITH HER, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW SHE SHE YES, SHE'S A VERY SMART JOURNALIST, ALTHOUGH I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU DO THE INTERVIEW. BUT WE OFTEN HEAR. YES, I HOPE I HOPE THAT YOU ASKED ME ALSO, WILL SHE BE DOING MORE? I HOPE SO. I HOPE SHE DOES MORE. I HOPE SHE DOES ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS AND I HOPE SHE COMES AND TALKS TO US ON ABC. >> THAT'S RIGHT. SHE SHE NEEDS TO AND YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU'LL BE EFFORTING AT THAT FOR SURE. ONE MORE QUESTION. WE OFTEN HEAR THE LOUDEST VOICES ON THE RIGHT AND ON THE LEFT. RIGHT. BUT WE'VE GOT THIS LATEST ABC NEWS WASHINGTON POST IPSOS POLL THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT, THAT SHOWS THAT MOST AMERICANS CALL THEMSELVES MODERATE. SO, YOU KNOW, HARRIS HAS TRIED TO MOVE TO THE MIDDLE, THE DNC. DO YOU THINK THAT WE'LL SEE MORE OF THAT GOING FORWARD? I MEAN, YOU TALK ABOUT PROBABLY WITHIN THE SIT DOWN INTERVIEW, WE'RE GOING TO HEAR MAYBE A DIFFERENT TAKE THE OPPOSITE ON ON POLICY COMPARED TO THE TO THE PRESIDENT. BUT WHAT ABOUT MODERATES? >> WELL, I THINK SHE'S MOVED TO THE MIDDLE, FRANKLY, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE VOTERS ARE, PARTICULARLY THE VOTERS THAT ARE UP FOR GRABS, THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS, THE UNDECIDED VOTERS, A DISAFFECTED REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE BEEN LIFELONG REPUBLICANS BUT DON'T LIKE DONALD TRUMP. OUR POLL AND THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS IN OUR POLL, BUT -- BUT BUT THIS IDEOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN REALLY STRUCK OUT TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS A CLEAR PLURALITY OF VOTERS, 42% IN OUR POLL THAT DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS MODERATE COMPARED TO JUST 24% SAID LIBERAL, 32% THAT SAID CONSERVATIVE. AND BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU LOOKED AT VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS, BLACK VOTERS, LATINO VOTERS AND ASIAN VOTERS IN PARTICULAR OUTRIGHT, MAJORITIES OF EACH OF THEM, MORE THAN 50% IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS MODERATE. AND WHAT WE SEE IN OUR POLITICS ,AS YOU ALLUDED TO, IS THE LOUDEST VOICES, THE VOICES THAT DOMINATE ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT OFTEN ON CABLE TELEVISION, OFTEN IN CONGRESS, ARE THOSE ARE THOSE VOICES THAT ARE ON THE EXTREME LEFT OR THE EXTREME RIGHT WHEN MOST VOTERS ARE RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE. AND I THINK THAT THAT I THINK THAT YOU'RE SEEING A RECOGNITION OF THAT FROM THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN. AND THAT'S WHY WHERE THEY'RE TARGETING THEIR MESSAGE. >> JON KARL, GREAT HAVE YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE NOW, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SPEAKING IN TWO VERY IMPORTANT MIDWESTERN BATTLEGROUND. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG JOINS US NOW FROM LACROSSE WISCONSIN WHERE THE FORMER PRESIDENT WILL BE IN JUST A FEW HOURS. SELINA, RALLYING IN MICHIGAN BEFORE HE GETS TO YOU THERE IN WISCONSIN, LET'S TALK ABOUT HIS STRATEGY TO BRING THESE TWO STATES BACK TO THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. COME NOVEMBER. YEAH, EXACTLY, KYRA. I MEAN, TRUMP IS REALLY STEPPING UP HIS CAMPAIGNING IN ORDER TO COUNTER HARRIS' RISE. AND THIS WEEK, HE AND HIS RUNNING MATE, JD BARNES, ARE REALLY ZEROING IN ON THESE BIG STATES THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN NARROWLY WON IN 2020. THEY ARE REALLY HITTING THESE STATES HARD. GOING TO THESE SMALLER, TRYING TO SEE IF THEY CAN FLIP THOSE STATES BACK IN THEIR FAVOR. SO AFTER RALLYING IN MICHIGAN TODAY, DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO BE COMING HERE TO LA, WISCONSIN. HE'LL BE TAKING THAT STAGE WITH TULSI GABBARD, FORMER DEMOCRAT WHO RECENTLY FORMALLY ENDORSED DONALD TRUMP. HE'S GOING TO BE HOLDING A TOWN HALL HERE. NOW, SOURCES TELL US THAT BEHIND THE SCENES, TULSI GABBARD HAS BEEN HELPING DONALD TRUMP WITH SOME OF TH PREPARATION. AND THE TOWN HALL TODAY HERE IS REALLY SEEN AS PART OF DONALD TRUMP'S PREPARATION. HIS TEAM TELLS US THAT HE DOESN'T PREFER THE TRADITIONAL DEBATE PREPARATION. INSTEAD, HE SEES HIS DISCUSSIONS WITH VOTERS TOWN HALLS LIKE THIS, INTERVIEWS WITH THE MEDIA AS OF THAT PART OF HIS DEBATE PREPARATION AHEAD OF THAT FIRST FACE OFF WITH COUPLE OF HARRIS. NOW LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY. ALL RIGHT. I'VE GOT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE INCIDENT INVOLVING IN HIS CAMPAIGN AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. BOTH THE CAMPAIGN AND THE ARMY ARE OUT WITH STATEMENTS TODAY. WHAT ARE THEY SAYING? AND IS ANYONE TALKING ABOUT TRUMP, MEMBERS OF HIS CAMPAIGN AND THE INSENSITIVE CONDUCT THAT CHEAPEN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS SACRED GROUND? >> YEAH, KYRA SO JUST TO STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT, THIS CONTROVERSY IS OVER TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN FILMING IN A PROHIBITED PART OF THE ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. SO TRUMP HAD VISITED THE SITE EARLIER THIS WEEK TO MARK THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN. AND HE WAS VISITING SOME OF THE GRAVE SITES OF U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS WHO HAD DIED ON THAT AT ABBEY GATE. NOW, THE ARMY HAS RELEASED A NEW STATEMENT SAYING THAT THERE WAS AN ALTERCATION BETWEEN A TRUMP CAMPAIGN STAFF ,A CEMETERY EMPLOYEE SAYING THAT THIS CEMETERY EMPLOYEE WAS TRYING TO ENFORCE THE RULES, BUT THEY WERE, QUOTE, ABRUPTLY PUSHED ASIDE. >> SELINA WANG, APPRECIATE YOU PUTTING THAT IN CONTEXT. THANK YOU. LET'S HEAD TO THE EXTREME WEATHER NOW AND JUST THE RECORD BREAKING HEAT WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING EVERY DAY AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH IS GETTING UNDER WAY. MILLIONS OF YOU EXPECTED TO TRAVEL LABOR DAY WEEKEND. MORE THAN 17 MILLION PASSENGERS EXPECTED TO BE SCREENED AT TSA CHECKPOINTS. ATLANTA, CHICAGO, O'HARE AND DALLAS. FORT WORTH ALL EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORTS IN COUNTRY. ALSO, MORE THAN 70 MILLION AMERICANS UNDER HEAT ALERTS NOW ACROSS 12 STATES. SOME CITIES WILL SEE TEMPS SURPASSING 100 DEGREES. OUR EXTREME WEATHER AND TRAVEL TEAM HAS IT ALL COVERED US. LET'S START WITH OUR METEOROLOGIST, MELISSA GRIFFIN. MELISSA LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT THE BIGGEST HEAT THREATS AS OF NOW. >> THAT'S RIGHT, CAROL. WE STILL, UNFORTUNATELY, HAVE HEAT ADVISORIES SPREADING ACROSS MUCH OF THE EAST AND MUCH OF THE SOUTH FROM MISSISSIPPI ALL THE WAY TO RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, WHERE IT STILL FEELS LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS THIS AFTERNOON. MORE RECORD HIGHS POSSIBLE, NOT JUST TODAY, BUT AGAIN TOMORROW BEFORE FINALLY RELIEF STARTS TO BREAK. BREAK IN CHARLESTON, 99 DEGREES TODAY. >> LOUISVILLE, 98 BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW COULD BREAK TWO RECORDS IN A ROW, NASHVILLE. THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE THERE STILL OVER 100 DEGREES TODAY. >> AND FINALLY, RELIEF WILL BE ON THE WAY. BUT NORTH OF THAT HEAT RIDGE. WE ALSO GOT TO TALK ABOUT THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER FROM D.C. TO BALTIMORE. SOME SPOTS THAT SAW SEVERE STORMS YESTERDAY WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND TODAY. FLASH ALSO POSSIBLE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA. AND THEN IT'S THIS NEW STORM SYSTEM. THIS IS THE ONE THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT TO BRING THOSE TRAVEL ISSUES FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WE STARTED OFF HERE TONIGHT IN THE MIDWEST, TWIN CITIES. YOU'RE IN THE BULL'S EYE FOR DAMAGING WINDS TONIGHT AND THEN IT ALL PUSHES EAST AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY. SO KICKING OFF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. STRONG STORMS IN THE GREAT LAKES, CHICAGO, DETROIT, FRIDAY NIGHT. THEN IT MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY FROM PITTSBURGH TO WESTERN NEW YORK. SHOULD BE PREPARED TO WATCH OUT FOR STORMS TO START THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND, SUNDAY, MONDAY LOOKING A LITTLE BETTER THERE, KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE MELISSA. FAITH ABUBEY IS AT HARTSFIELD-JACKSON AIRPORT IN ATLANTA, WHERE I KNOW IT GETS HARD BECAUSE I LIVED THERE FOR YEARS. FAITH, HOW ARE THINGS GOING THIS HOUR? NOT ONLY IS IT HIGH IF YOU'RE TRAVELING, YOU NEED TO GET OUT HERE AS SOON AS YOU CAN OR AS EARLY AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT. THE FAA IS EXPECTING MORE PEOPLE TO TRAVEL BY AIR THIS YEAR, THIS STRETCH OF THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY THAN DID LAST . 17 MILLION PASSENGERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SCREENED AT TSA CHECKPOINTS JUST LIKE THIS ONE. THAT VOLUME IS SLOWLY BUILDING HERE IN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT TODAY IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THE BUSIEST DAY. HOWEVER, HERE IN ATLANTA, THE STORY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. WE HAVE A OFFICIAL HERSCHEL GRAINS IN WITH US. YOU WERE ACTUALLY JUST TELLING US THAT TOMORROW WILL BE THE BUSIEST DAY FOR ATLANTA, CORRECT? >> EXPECTED ABOUT 349,000 PASSENGERS TOMORROW AND A TOTAL OF 2.3 MILLION BETWEEN YESTERDAY AND NEXT WEDNESDAY. >> AND OF COURSE, WE ARE LOOKING HERE RIGHT NOW. IT DOESN'T LOOK BUSY BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE SOME CROWD CONTROL TACTICS, RIGHT? >> RIGHT. YES, SOME VERY, VERY SKILLED CONTROL TECHNICIANS IN PLACE THAT THEY HAVE EMPLOYED SOME PLANS TO MAKE THE LINE DOESN'T EXTEND INTO THE ATRIUM. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET HERE TWO AND A HALF TO 3 HOURS EARLY SO YOU CAN BE A PART OF THIS LINE. AND GET A COMFORTABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE, GET TO YOUR GATE, HAVE A GOOD TIME TRANSIT. HERSCHEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. OF COURSE, ALL MAJOR AIRLINES ARE ALSO EXPECTING A LOT OF PEOPLE TO COME. SO, AGAIN, PREPARE AHEAD OF TIME. RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE ABOUT JUST OVER 100 CANCELLATIONS ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. SO ANY MAJOR TRAVEL PROBLEMS AS FAR AS AIR TRAVEL IS CONCERNED, KYRA ALL RIGHT, FAY, THANK YOU, SAM SWEENEY. I KNOW YOU'RE TRACKING WE NEED TO KNOW IF WE ARE HITTING THE ROADS, IF WE NEED TO FLY. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT? WELL, KIRAN, MOST PEOPLE WILL BE THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND IT'S GOING TO BE BUSY, AS THEY SAID. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS YEAR, GAS PRICES ARE DOWN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE AVERAGE IS BELOW $3.50 A GALLON. >> SOME PEOPLE AROUND COUNTRY ARE SEEING LESS THAN $3 A GALLON. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING BY CAR, TRIPLE J SAYS GET OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING OR LEAVE AFTER 7 P.M.. THE BUSIEST DAYS ARE GOING TO BE TOMORROW AND I'LL NEVER TURN ON MONDAY. >> ALL RIGHT. THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF NEWS FLIGHT ATTENDANTS AS WELL IN THIS POTENTIAL STRIKE. WHAT ARE YOU. >> WELL, UNITED AIRLINES AND ITS FLIGHT ATTENDANTS HAVE BEEN IN NEGOTIATIONS FOR SOME TIME. AND YESTERDAY THEY REACHED A POINT WHERE THEY HAD A FOR A STRIKE AUTHORIZATION. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT A STRIKE IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN OR WILL HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON. THAT IS JUST ONE STEP IN THE PROCESS. AND THERE ARE MANY STEPS IT WOULD TAKE MONTHS BEFORE ANY SORT OF STRIKE COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN. BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF STEPS UP INTO, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES CAN STOP OR STALL A, STRIKE ALONG WITH CONGRESS UNDER THE LAW. AND THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD LIKELY SEE. WE GOT TO THAT POINT. BUT EXPERTS TELL ME IT'S LIKELY THAT THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND UNITED AIRLINES WILL COME TO SOME SORT OF AN AGREEMENT. ALL RIGHT. THEY ARE. SAM, FAITH AND LISA, THANK YOU ALL. APPRECIATE IT. COMING UP, FBI FAILURE. HOW AGENCY IS ACCUSED OF MISHANDLING CHILD SEX ABUSE ALLEGATIONS AFTER PROMISING TO MAKE CHANGES. PLUS, THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER CASE. WHY THE SUSPECT AND HIS LEGAL TEAM ARE PUSHING TO HAVE THE TRIAL MOVED OUT OF TOWN FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THERE'S A LOT GOING ON. WE'RE STILL IN A FLASH FLOOD WANTING TO CATCH YOU UP WITH WHAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT. WE'VE RIOT GEAR ARRESTING DOZENS OF PROTESTERS. >> WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY? >> TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MIGRANT. FAST. STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH SOME FUN IN BETWEEN. CHECK OUT THE GATOR ON THE 17TH. HOLD A BUZZ KILL AND. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. AMERICA THIS MORNING AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. WHY THEY WANT TO BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. NOW FINALLY, DONALD, WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION. KAMALA HARRIS, WE PROMISED AMERICA THIS HISTORIC. THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS LIVE. Q AND DISNEY PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> GLAD YOU'RE STREAMING WITH US THE SUSPECT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDERS, BRIAN COBURN, ARE BACK IN COURT TODAY IN AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE HIS TRIAL LOCATION. THE DEFENSE ARGUING THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR THEIR CLIENT TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF IT HAPPENS A DIFFERENT COUNTY. BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE CONFIDENT THEY CAN SEAT AN JURY. LET'S BRING IN OUR ALEX STONE, ALONG WITH OUR CHIEF LEGAL ANALYST, DANTE MILLS, FOR MORE ON THIS. SO, ALEX, YOU KNOW, THE HEARING IS STILL UNDERWAY. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN MONITORING IT THE ENTIRE DAY. KEY ARGUMENTS MADE ON BOTH SIDES SO FAR. WELL, SO FAR IT'S ONLY BEEN THE DEFENSE WITNESSES WHO HAVE BEEN TESTIFYING TODAY . THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT THERE IS BIAS COMING IN TO THIS, THAT ANYBODY WHO IS IN L.A. COUNTY, THAT THEY'VE BEEN AROUND SO MUCH MEDIA COVERAGE, A D WHO HAS BEEN TESTIFYING HERE IN THE LAST HOUR ON PRETRIAL PUBLICITY, SAYING THAT WHETHER IT BE PODCASTS OR RADIO OR TV, THAT THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH OF IT AND SAYING THAT THAT YOU CAN'T UNDO THAT SAYING ONE STUDY FOUND 72% OF PEOPLE EXPOSED NEGATIVE PRETRIAL PUBLICITY, VOTED TO CONVICT IN CASES. AND HIS ARGUMENT IS THAT THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, THAT THERE HAS BEEN MUCH OF IT. HOW DO YOU FIND A FAIR JURY IN LAYTON COUNTY? PROSECUTORS SAY IT CAN BE DONE AND YOU COULD GO TO MARS AND YOU WOULDN'T FIND JURY WHO DOESN'T HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT THIS CASE, HASN'T SEEN NEWS SAYING IT SHOULD STAY IN MOSCOW. >> SO IF THE JUDGE KEEPS THE TRIAL THERE AGAINST THE DEFENSE'S WISHES, WHAT MEASURES COULD THE COURT TAKE TO ENSURE AN IMPARTIAL JURY THERE? >> I THINK IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO GET AN IMPARTIAL JURY THERE. BUT THE HERE AND THEIR ARGUMENTS ARE TAKING THE WRONG APPROACH. >> YOU CAN'T SIMPLY SAY, OH, THIS CASE IS IN THE NEWS. SO THIS JURY IN MOSCOW WON'T BE ABLE TO GIVE US A FAIR TRIAL BECAUSE THE NEWS IS EVERYWHERE . IT'S NO LONGER WHERE SOMETHING HAPPENS IN YOUR TOWN AND THEN A PERSON IN THE NEXT TOWN OVER DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO JUST SAYING THAT IT'S IN THE NEWS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO ABOUT IT. WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS SAY THAT THE PEOPLE THIS TOWN WERE IMPACTED AFTER THIS MURDER. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO COMMITTED MURDER OR WHY FOR A LONG TIME AFTER THESE MURDERS HAPPENED. AND THEY DID THINGS LIKE SHUT DOWN THE CAMPUS. THERE WERE BUSINESSES IN THE THAT WERE CLOSED. AND MY ARGUMENT WOULD BE THAT THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN WERE PERSONALLY AFFECTED WITH THIS MURDER AND YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM OF EVALUATING WHETHER OR NOT THE DEFENDANT COMMITTED IT. AND THAT'S THE REASON YOU SHOULD TAKE IT OUT OF THIS AREA, NOT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S ON THE NEWS, BECAUSE LISTEN, EVERYBODY IS WATCHING YOU NOW FROM NOT ONLY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, ALL OVER THE WORLD. >> ALEX STONE, DANTE MILLS. THANKS, GENTLEMEN. A NEW WATCHDOG REPORT OUT TODAY BLASTING FBI'S HANDLING OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS. THAT REPORT BY FBI INSPECTOR GENERAL SUGGESTS THAT THE FBI DIDN'T PROPERLY. ISSUES RELATED TO HOW IT HANDLED TIPS EVEN AFTER GYMNASTICS PHYSICIAN LARRY NASSAR PLEADED GUILTY TO ABUSING SEVEN GIRLS AND THE BUREAU DIRECTOR APOLOGIZED THE VICTIMS FOR NOT ADDRESSING THEIR ALLEGATIONS SOONER. OUR JUSTICE REPORTER ALEX MALLIN HAS BEEN FOLWING THE LATEST ON THIS STORY. SO THE REPORT SUGGESTS THE FBI CONTINUED TO MISHANDLE THESE TIPS EVEN AFTER IT PROMISED TO MAKE THE CHANGES IN THE WAKE OF THE LARRY NASSAR SCANDAL. SO HOW DO SERIOUS FAILURES LIKE THESE PERSIST EVEN AFTER THE FBI WAS CALLED OUT FOR THEM? >> WELL, KYRA, THE FBI SAYS REALLY A PROBLEM OF RESOURCES ON THEIR END. THEY SAY THAT THERE'S A SURGE OF CHILD ABUSE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE COME INTO THE BUREAU IN RECENT YEARS AND. THEY ARE SIMPLY OVERMATCHED AT A LOT OF LEVELS. THEY ALSO SAY THAT THIS REPORT KIND OF OVERSTATES THINGS. THAT'S THEIR POSITION. THEY THINK THAT THERE'S A LOT MORE PAPERWORK ISSUE THAT A SMALL MINORITY OF CASES WERE ACTUALLY MISHANDLED. BUT THIS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT IS TRULY SCATHING. THEY CONDUCTED AN AUDIT IN THE SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT NASSAR REPORT AND. IN THAT 16 MONTHS THEY OBSERVED IN 321 CASES AUDITED. OF THOSE 321 CASES THAT THEY AUDIT, 42 INVOLVED INCIDENTS WHERE THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FBI AND SAY THAT THESE WERE SO INSUFFICIENTLY HANDLED THAT WE ARE ALARMED THAT. YOU NEED TO GO REVISIT THESE ALLEGATIONS BECAUSE CHILDREN COULD POTENTIALLY BE IN DANGER . THAT IS JUST A INDICTMENT OF THE FBI, OBVIOUSLY, IN THE WAKE OF THAT NASSAR REPORT KYRA. >> SO, ALEX, WE NOW HAVE THIS STATEMENT FROM THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING LARRY NASSAR VICTIMS AND. HERE'S WHAT HE SAID. DESPITE YEARS OF PROMISES AND CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS, IT'S NOW CLEAR THAT THE LARRY NASSAR SCANDAL COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. TODAY. IT'S TIME FOR CONGRESS. AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE THE STATEMENT THERE TO TAKE ACTION TO REFORM THE FBI. THAT'S EXACTLY DIRECTLY TAKEN FROM THE STATEMENT. SO WHAT ACTIONS COULD CONGRESS ACTUALLY DO NOW TO FIX THESE ISSUES? >> WELL, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT WE'RE SEEING THE SENATE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ALREADY COMING OUT AND SAYING THAT HE'S GOING TO HOLD A HEARING IN THE COMING WEEKS WITH SENIOR FBI LEADERSHIP. WE ALSO ALSO KNOW THE FBI DIRECTOR, RAY GAVE A PROMISE TO THOSE VICTIMS THAT THAT USA GYMNASTICS HEARING, THAT THIS WOULD NEVER AGAIN. SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY COME FORWARD WITH CONCRETE STEPS AND TRANSPARENCY ON HOW THEY'RE MAKING CHANGES UP AND DOWN THE BUREAU KYRA. >> RIGHT. WELL, WE'LL SEE. CHANGES, OBVIOUSLY, DO NEED TO BE MADE. THANKS, ALEX. THE CIA IS TAKING CREDIT NOW FOR HELPING THWART THE TERROR PLOT AGAINST TAYLOR SWIFT'S CONCERT, VIENNA. THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR SAYS THAT THE AGENCY PASSED ON INTELLIGENCE TO AUTHORITIES IN EUROPE, LEADING TO THE ARREST OF THREE SUSPECTS. HE ALSO REVEALED DISTURBING DETAILS HOW THE PLOT WAS INTENDED TO KILL, QUOTE, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. >> JACK JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE. SO, JACK, IS THE CIA SAYING ABOUT THE EXTENT OF ITS INVOLVEMENT HERE? >> WELL, CIA WAS ABLE TO DEVELOP INTELLIGENCE POINTING TO A PLOT THAT THEY WANTED TO ATTACK THIS TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA. THEY FOUND THAT THEY PASSED ON THE INFORMATION TO AUSTRIA AND AUTHORITIES. THEY'RE ABLE TO ARREST FOUR INDIVIDUALS. THEY'VE FOUND BOMB MAKING MATERIALS. ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAD AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAD ACCESS TO THE VENUE. THEY MADE THE ARREST THE DAY BEFORE THE CONCERT WAS SCHEDULED. IT WAS, OF COURSE, CANCELED OUT OF CONCERN ABOUT THE ONGOING THREAT ENVIRONMENT THERE. >> SO WHAT MORE ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT WHY THIS TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT IN PARTICULAR WAS TARGETED? >> WELL, THESE INDIVIDUALS APPEAR TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ISIS OR ISIS, KAY, THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. AND IT APPEARS THIS MAY BE JUST A HIGH PROFILE TARGET OF OPPORTUNE CITY. ISIS HAS PUSHED OUT PROPAGANDA TO ENCOURAGE AND TO TRY TO INSPIRE THEIR ADHERENTS, TO TRY TO ATTACK VENUES LIKE THIS AND EVENTS LIKE THIS. OF COURSE, TAYLOR SWIFT IS AN AMERICAN ICON AND ATTACKING A CONCERT RELATED TO HER WOULD BE A RICH TARGET FOR AN ORGANIZATION LIKE ISIS. >> SO HOW IS CIA WORKING WITH OTHER INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES NOW TO TRY AND PREVENT ANY MORE POTENTIAL ATTACKS IN THE FUTURE? >> CLEARLY, CIA STILL CONSIDERS THE COUNTERTERRORISM MISSION ITS TOP PRIORITY, AND THEY ROUTINELY WORK ACROSS THEIR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO TRY TO SHARE INFORMATION WHEN THEY GET IT. IN FACT, IN AN ATTACK, EVEN FOR ADVERSARIAL NATIONS, THEY SHARE INFORMATION. THEY SHARE INFORMATION THE RUSSIANS RELATED TO A POTENTIAL ATTACK THERE. AND, OF COURSE, AN ATTACK DID OCCUR THERE AT AN OPERA HOUSE OUTSIDE OF MOSCOW. ALL RIGHT, JACK THANKS. STRAIGHT AHEAD, FIGHTER, A FIGHTER, ACTUALLY A F-16 FIGHTER CRASHES AS UKRAINE INTERCEPTS A RUSSIAN AIR RAID. >> WE'VE GOT THE LATEST AFTER THE BREAK. >> IF WERE COMING OF AGE IN THE 1980S, THE BRAT PACK WAS NEAR THE CENTER OF YOUR CULTURAL AWARENESS.

ABC NEWS WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL THE TELEVISION. >> IT WAS A REGULAR DAY FOR 19-YEAR-OLD MELISSA WITH SOMETHING TERRIBLE. WOULD HAPPEN TO HER. WE HAD SEVERAL SUSPECTS ALL THESE KINDS OF LEAVE. A KNOWN SERIAL KILLER IN YOUR AREA. COULD HE BE INVOLVED? WE'RE ACTUALLY FINDING KEY EVIDENCE THAT COULD HAVE SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS. >> HER LAST HOURS ON THIS EARTH WERE HORRIFICALLY THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL. POLICE WILL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED AT WIT'S END AT THE HUNT FOR A KILLER. >> ONLY ON HULU. THEY BOTH WANT TO BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. NOW, KAMALA HARRIS. DONALD TRUMP FACE, FACE. THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE, MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR AND DAVIS. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON ABC, STREAMING ON HULU AND DISNEY PLUS RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE SWING STATES DONALD TRUMP TARGETING THE RUST BELT AS VP HARRIS AND TIM WALZ TAKE THE BUS TO GEORGIA. THE NEW POLL WITH LESS THAN TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEBATE RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. UNRELENTING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ROASTING RECORD-BREAKING HEAT. HOW LONG THESE EXTREME TEMPS WILL LAST AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH GETS UNDER WAY AND UNDER FIRE ARE JUST AS DEPARTMENT WATCHDOGS SLAMMING THE FBI. THE BOMBSHELL REPORT SAYING, THE BUREAU FAILED TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO REPORT SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN. >> AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I'M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, DUELING RALLIES. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS BARNSTORMING THE STATE WITH. HER RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ, WHILE FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP GETS SET TO SPEAK. BOTH MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN POLLS SHOWING HARRIS HAS PUT GEORGIA BACK IN PLAY FOR DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER AFTER PRESIDENT BIDEN NARROWLY WON THAT AREA OR THAT STATE FOUR YEARS AGO. NO SURPRISE, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALREADY BASHING THE POLLS. CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE IS TRAVELING WITH HARRIS AND THE CAMPAIGN AND JOINS ME FROM SAVANNAH. SO MARY HARRIS AND WALZ WORK IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTS OF GEORGIA. >> DO THEY HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING THEM OVER? >> WELL, SURE. THEY CERTAINLY HOPE SO. THEY REAL OPPORTUNITY HERE IN GEORGIA. THEY ARE OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY HAVE A CHANCE AT WINNING. IT'S WIDELY SEEN HARRIS AND WALL TAKING THROUGH THE RURAL PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN GEORGIA. AND THE CHALLENGE HERE IS THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, THE STATE WHERE SO FAR DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN LEADING. I DO THIS OUT YESTERDAY. FOX NEWS NOW SHOWS HARRIS UP BY TWO POINTS IN THIS STATE. BUT OF COURSE, JOE BIDEN WON VERY NARROWLY BACK IN 2020 BY LESS THAN 12,000 VOTES. AND HARRIS IS HOPING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF THAT VICTORY. THE CAMPAIGN KNOWS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BEYOND JUST THE SORT OF TRADITIONAL URBAN JUST ATLANTA AND THE AREAS AROUND IT, LIKE AREN'T GOING TO CUT IT . AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SEEING THEM MAKING WHAT IS A BIT OF A RARE MOVE TO THROUGH AND REACH OUT DIRECTLY TO THESE URBAN OR RURAL VOTERS HERE UP TO 60 VOTES. HOW IS HARRIS' APPROACH IN GEORGIA? YOU DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY PRESIDENT BIDEN CAMPAIGN THERE IN 2020? >> YET HE DIDN'T ACTUALLY OUT DIRECTLY TO VOTERS IN THE SAME KIND OF WAY THAT HARRIS IS NOW. >> AND IN PART, OF COURSE, IT WAS A PANDEMIC ZONE WITH A VERY DIFFERENT SITUATION. BUT ALSO HE DIDN'T REALLY AFFORD TO SPEND THAT KIND OF TIME IN THE RURAL AREAS OF SAY, HE WAS MORE FOCUSED ON THE FIREWALL STATE, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN. WE DIDN'T SEE HIM DO THIS KIND OF DIRECT PERSON PERSON OUTREACH FOUR YEARS AGO NOW. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HARRIS DOING? LOT OF? YOU KNOW, PROBABLY NOT. BUT THEY ARE HOPING THAT A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY THAT OUT AND CONNECTING DIRECTLY WORKING CLASS RURAL VOTERS WILL BE ENOUGH TO GET THEM TO COME OUT AND VOTE FOR HER. AND WHILE SOME NOVEMBER CAROL, VERY ONE MORE QUESTION, IF YOU DON'T MIND.KNOWHINGS ARE GEG GOING THERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, HARRIS HAS BEEN LAYING LOW AFTER THE DNC, AS YOU KNOW. NOW, A WEEK LATER, SHE'S ON THIS BUS TOUR DOING HER FIRST NETWORK INTERVIEW. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE STRATEGY WAS HERE? >> LOOK, I THINK SHE'S TRYING TO BALANCE COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. >> SHE OBVIOUSLY WANTS TO BE OUT ON THE TRAIL. BUT THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, QUITE LATE IN THE CONVENTION. AND I THINK THEY WANTED TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF ANY BOUNCE THEY GOT OUT OF THAT YEAR OF DEBATE PREP FOR FIRST MAKE UP OF DONALD TRUMP. THAT IS 12 DAYS AWAY RIGHT HERE ON SEPTEMBER TEN. AND, OF COURSE, IT DOESN'T COUNT TODAY IN THAT MIDTOWN INTERVIEW ON HER FIRST INTERVIEW WITH WALD, THE FIRST INTERVIEW IN THE CAMPAIGN. AND WE HAVE SEEN A BIG DIFFERENCE. THE FOR NOT DOING PRESS CONFERENCE OR NOT DOING IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS. SO THEY'RE TRYING TO BALANCE ALL OF THAT NOW. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT SHE IS EXPECTED TO HIT THOSE RUST BELT STATES ON DAY DETROIT AND PITTSBURGH DURING HER FIRST CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN. SO SHE'S TRYING TO DOING THAT AND ALSO GETTING OUT ON THE TRAIL HERE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES IN GEORGIA, SAVANNAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARY. AND WHILE THEY ARE IN GEORGIA TODAY, VP HARRIS AND GOVERNOR WALLACE JUST SAT DOWN FOR THEIR FIRST INTERVIEW AS WELL WITH THE DEMOCRATIC AS THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. SO, YOU KNOW WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG? OUR CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT, JON KARL, MAY HAVE AN ANSWER ON THAT. >> JON, YOUR THOUGHTS AND WE EXPECT HER TO TALK MORE TO THE MEDIA NOW. >> WELL, LOOK, IT DID TAKE A LONG TIME. I MEAN, TO SEE NOT JUST KAMALA HARRIS, BUT ALSO TO SEE TIM WALZ NOT DO ANY INTERVIEWS AND TAKE PRECIOUS FEW QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS. IN ANY EVENT, MOSTLY, YOU KNOW, QUICK LITTLE WHAT WE CALL GAGGLES, NOT EVEN FORMAL PRESS . I THINK THAT PART OF THE DELAY HERE WAS THAT HARRIS NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT A LOT OF THINGS VERY QUICKLY. SHE OBVIOUSLY NEEDED TO SECURE HER SPOT AS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION TO CHOOSE HER RUNNING MATE. AND THEN SHE NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE SHE STANDS. NOW, THAT MAY SOUND KIND OF SIMPLE. SHE'S BEEN IN PUBLIC LIFE FOR HECK OF A LONG TIME. SHE'S BEEN VICE PRESIDENT FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS, BUT SHE'S BEEN THE SECOND FIDDLE TO JOE BIDEN. NOW SUDDENLY SHE IS THE CANDIDATE AND IT TAKES A AT ALL THE POSITIONS WHERE SHE MAY WANT TO DISTANCE HERSELF FROM BIDEN WAS WHERE SHE WANTS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHERE BIDEN WAS. BUT IT'S PUT IT'S PUT A HELL OF A LOT ON THIS INTERVIEW, KARA. THIS INTERVIEW BECOMES A LOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN SIMPLY A RUN OF THE MILL INTERVIEW WHERE SHE IS NOT SIMPLY ASKING QUESTIONS, ANSWERING QUESTIONS AS A CANDIDATE, BUT SHE'S MAKING POLICY PRONOUNCEMENTS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T REALLY DIRECTLY STATED WHAT HER POLICIES ARE. SO EVERY QUESTION IS NOT SIMPLY AN ANSWER. USUALLY THE POLICY OR ANNOUNCED YOU HAVE AN INTERVIEW TO EXPLAIN YOUR POLICIES, DEFEND POLICIES, MAKE THE CASE FOR YOUR POLICIES. BUT IN THIS CASE, IN MANY INSTANCES, SHE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE OUTLINING WHAT SHE STANDS FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> YOU KNOW, YOU MAKE A YOU MAKE AN INTERESTING POINT AND LET'S THINK OF HOW WE DO NETWORK INTERVIEWS, JOHN. RIGHT. WITH WITH WITH KEY, KEY LEADERS, WHETHER IT'S A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OR A WORLD LEADER, IF SHE HASN'T PUT ANYTHING OUT THERE THAT IT'S HARD FOR US TO PUT TOGETHER QUESTIONS THAT COULD CHALLENGE HER OR, YOU KNOW, HAVE HAVE A BIT OF A DEEPER DISCUSSION. SO IT'S INTERESTING THAT YOU MAKE THAT IF THERE'S NOT A LOT OUT THERE THAT WE KNOW ABOUT HER, SHE GIVES AN INTERVIEW, IT CHANGES THE DYNAMIC. >> YOU THINK ABOUT IT WITH REGARD TO THE CONVERSATION. IT CERTAINLY CHANGES THE DYNAMIC. >> BUT -- BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND A LOT OF FRANKLY, TOUGH QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED. AND I'M SURE DANA BASH WILL ASK US AS SHE CAN IN THE TIME THAT SHE IS ALLOTTED. YOU KNOW. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AT ITS CONVENTION DID HAVE A PLATFORM . THAT PLATFORM LITERALLY REFERRED TO JOE BIDEN. IT WAS IT WAS A IT WAS A PLATFORM THAT WAS APPROVED OR WRITTEN AND THEN APPROVED SHORTLY AFTER BIDEN DROPPED OUT. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO OPEN IT UP AGAIN. AND A WHOLE NEW PLATFORM. SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS YOU HAVE KAMALA HARRIS' POSITIONS THAT SHE TOOK IN 19 WHEN SHE WAS PREPARING AND RUNNING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION BACK THEN AND WHEN SHE WAS POSITIONING HERSELF AS A PROGRESSIVE, SOMEBODY RUNNING TO THE LEFT OF THE DEMOCRATIC FOR THE FOR THE THE LEFT BASE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THOSE POSITIONS WERE NOT THE POSITIONS THAT WERE TAKEN BY THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION AND WHICH HER PEOPLE SAY ARE NOT HER POSITIONS CURRENTLY. SO A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS WILL BE GOING BACK AND SAYING BACK, YOU KNOW, FOUR, FOUR, FIVE YEARS AGO YOU TOOK POSITIONS X, Y AND, Z. NOW YOUR CAMPAIGN SUGGESTS YOU TAKE THESE OTHER IN SOME CASES VIRTUALLY DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED POSITIONS. HOW YOU EXPLAIN THAT? HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS? SO SO THESE ARE THESE ARE QUESTIONS. IT'LL BE VERY INTERESTING HOW YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I EXPECT THAT WILL OUTLINE VERY DIFFERENT POLICY POSITIONS ON ISSUES LIKE THE BORDER, ON ISSUES LIKE FRACKING, EVEN ON SOME OF THE ECONOMIC ISSUES. I THINK THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE OUTLINING DIFFERENT POSITIONS. AND THE QUESTION WHY? WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR VIEWS? HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT? SO THESE ARE YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT JANET WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MATERIAL TO WORK THROUGH. >> WELL, YOU AND I BOTH WORKED WITH HER, YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW, SHE SHE'S GREAT. SHE YES, SHE'S A VERY SMART JOURNALIST, ALTHOUGH I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU DO THE INTERVIEW. BUT WE OFTEN HEAR. >> YES, I HOPE I HOPE THAT YOU ASKED ME ALSO, WILL SHE BE DOING MORE? I HOPE SO. I HOPE SHE DOES MORE. I HOPE SHE DOES ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS AND I HOPE SHE COMES HERE AND TALKS TO US ON ABC. >> THAT'S RIGHT. SHE SHE NEEDS TO. AND YOU KNOW. I KNOW YOU'LL BE EFFORTING AT THAT FOR SURE. ONE MORE QUESTION. WE OFTEN THE LOUDEST VOICES ON THE RIGHT AND ON THE LEFT. RIGHT. BUT WE'VE GOT THIS LATEST ABC NEWS WASHINGTON POST IPSOS POLL THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT SHOWS THAT MOST AMERICANS CALL THEMSELVES MODERATE. SO, YOU KNOW, HARRIS HAS TRIED MOVE TO THE MIDDLE AT THE DNC. DO YOU THINK THAT WE'LL SEE MORE OF THAT STRATEGY GOING FORWARD? I MEAN, YOU TALK ABOUT PROBABLY WITHIN THIS SIT DOWN INTERVIEW, WE'RE GOING TO HEAR MAYBE A DIFFERENT TAKE THE OPPOSITE ON ON POLICY COMPARED TO TO THE TO THE PRESIDENT. BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE MODERATES? WELL, I THINK SHE'S MOVED TO THE MIDDLE, FRANKLY BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE VOTERS ARE, PARTICULARLY THE VOTERS THAT ARE UP FOR GRABS. THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS, THE UNDECIDED VOTERS, A DISAFFECTED REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE BEEN LIFELONG REPUBLICANS BUT DON'T LIKE DONALD TRUMP. I OUR POLL AND THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS IN OUR POLL BUT -- BUT BUT THIS IDEOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN REALLY STRUCK OUT TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS A CLEAR PLURALITY OF VOTERS, 42% IN OUR POLL THAT DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS MODERATE COMPARED TO JUST 24% SAID LIBERAL. 32% THAT SAID CONSERVATIVE. AND BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU LOOKED AT VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS, BLACK, LATINO VOTERS AND ASIAN VOTERS IN PARTICULAR, OUTRIGHT ,OF EACH OF THEM, MORE THAN 50% IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS MODERATE. AND WHAT WE SEE IN OUR POLITICS ,AS YOU ALLUDED TO, IS THE LOUDEST VOICES, THE VOICES THAT DOMINATE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT OFTEN ON CABLE TELEVISION, OFTEN EVEN IN CONGRESS, ARE THOSE ARE THOSE VOICES THAT ARE ON THE EXTREME LEFT OR THE EXTREME RIGHT WHEN MOST VOTERS ARE ACTUALLY THERE IN THE MIDDLE. AND I THINK THAT THAT I THINK THAT YOU'RE SEEING A RECOGNITION OF THAT FROM THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN. AND THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE TARGETING THEIR MESSAGE. >> JON KARL, GREAT TO HAVE YOU. THANK. THANK YOU. LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE NOW. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SPEAKING TWO VERY IMPORTANT MIDWESTERN BATTLEGROUND STATES. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG JOINS US NOW FROM LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN, WHERE THE FORMER PRESIDENT WILL BE IN JUST A FEW HOURS. SELINA TRUMP RALLYING IN MICHIGAN BEFORE. HE GETS TO YOU THERE IN WISCONSIN. LET'S TALK ABOUT HIS STRATEGY TO BRING THESE TWO STATES BACK TO THE REPUBLICAN SIDE COME NOVEMBER. >> YEAH, EXACTLY, KYRA. I MEAN, TRUMP IS REALLY STEPPING HIS CAMPAIGNING IN ORDER TO COUNTER HARRIS' RISE. AND THIS WEEK AND HIS RUNNING MATE, JD BARNES, ARE REALLY ZEROING IN ON THESE MIDWEST STATES THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN NARROWLY WON IN 2020. AND THEY ARE REALLY HITTING THESE STATES HARD. GOING TO THESE SMALLER COMMUNITIES, TRYING TO SEE IF THEY CAN FLIP THOSE STATES BACK IN THEIR FAVOR. SO AFTER RALLYING IN MICHIGAN TODAY, DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO BE COMING HERE TO LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN. HE'LL BE TAKING THAT WITH TULSI GABBARD, A FORMER DEMOCRAT WHO RECENTLY FORMALLY ENDORSED DONALD TRUMP. HE'S GOING TO BE HOLDING A TOWN HALL HERE. NOW, SOURCES TELL US THAT BEHIND THE SCENES, TULSI GABBARD HAS BEEN HELPING DONALD WITH SOME OF THAT DEBATE PREPARATION AND THE TOWN HALL TODAY HERE IS REALLY SEEN AS PART OF DONALD TRUMP'S PREPARATION. HIS TEAM TELLS THAT HE DOESN'T PREFER THE TRADITIONAL DEBATE PREPARATION. INSTEAD, HE SEES HIS DISCUSSIONS WITH VOTERS TOWN HALLS LIKE THIS. INTERVIEWS THE MEDIA AS ALL OF THAT PART OF HIS DEBATE PREPARATION AHEAD OF THAT FIRST FACE OFF A CANDLE TO HARRIS NOW LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY. ALL RIGHT. I'VE GOT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE INCIDENT INVOLVING TRUMP, HIS CAMPAIGN AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. BOTH THE CAMPAIGN AND THE ARMY ARE OUT WITH STATEMENTS TODAY. WHAT ARE THEY SAYING AND IS ANYONE TALKING TRUMP, MEMBERS OF HIS CAMPAIGN STAFF AND THE INSENSITIVE THAT CHEAPENED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS SACRED GROUND. >> YEAH, KYRA. SO JUST TO STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT, THIS CONTROVERSY IS OVER TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN FILMING IN A PROHIBITED PART OF THE ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. SO TRUMP HAD VISITED THE SITE EARLIER THIS WEEK TO MARK THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN. AND HE WAS VISITING SOME OF THE GRAVE SITES OF U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS HAD DIED ON THAT ATTACK AT ABBEY'S GATE. NOW, THE ARMY HAS RELEASED A NEW STATEMENT SAYING THAT THERE WAS AN ALTERCATION, A TRUMP CAMPAIGN STAFF AND A CEMETERY EMPLOYEE SAYING, THAT THIS CEMETERY EMPLOYEE WAS TRYING TO ENFORCE THE RULES, BUT THEY WERE, QUOTE, ABRUPTLY PUSHED ASIDE. SELINA WANG, APPRECIATE YOU PUTTING THAT IN CONTEXT. THANK YOU. >> LET'S HEAD TO THE EXTREME WEATHER NOW AND JUST THE RECORD BREAKING HEAT WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING EVERY DAY AS THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH IS GETTING WAY. MILLIONS OF YOU EXPECTED TO TRAVEL THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. MORE THAN 70 MILLION PASSENGERS EXPECTED TO BE SCREENED AT TSA CHECKPOINTS. ATLANTA, CHICAGO O'HARE AND DALLAS, FORT WORTH, ALL TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY. ALSO MORE THAN 70 MILLION AMERICANS UNDER HEAT ALERTS NOW ACROSS 12 STATES. SOME CITIES WILL SEE TEMPS SURPASSING 100 DEGREES. OUR EXTREME AND TRAVEL TEAM HAS IT ALL COVERED FOR US. LET'S START WITH OUR METEOROLOGIST GRIFFIN. MELISSA, LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT THE THE BIGGEST HEAT THREATS AS OF RIGHT NOW. THAT'S RIGHT, CAROL WE STILL, UNFORTUNATELY, HAVE HEAT ADVISORIES SPREADING ACROSS MUCH OF THE EAST AND MUCH OF THE SOUTH FROM MISSISSIPPI ALL THE WAY TO RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, WHERE IT STILL FEELS LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS THERE. THIS AFTERNOON, MORE RECORD HIGHS POSSIBLE NOT JUST TODAY, BUT AGAIN TOMORROW BEFORE FINALLY RELIEF STARTS. BREAK, BREAK IN CHARLESTON, 99 DEGREES TODAY. LOUISVILLE, 98 BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW COULD BREAK TWO RECORDS IN A ROW. NASHVILLE, THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE THERE STILL OVER 100 DEGREES TODAY. >> AND FINALLY RELIEF WILL BE ON THE WAY. >> BUT NORTH OF THAT HEAT RIDGE. WE ALSO GOT TO TALK ABOUT THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER FROM D.C. TO BALTIMORE. >> SOME SPOTS THAT SAW SEVERE STORMS WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND TODAY. FLASH FLOODING ALSO POSSIBLE IN VIRGINIA. AND THEN IT'S THIS NEW STORM SYSTEM. THIS IS THE ONE THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT TO BRING THOSE TRAVEL ISSUES FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WE STARTED OFF HERE TONIGHT IN THE MIDWEST, TWIN CITIES. YOU'RE IN THE BULL'S FOR DAMAGING WINDS TONIGHT AND THEN IT ALL PUSHES EAST AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY. STILL KICKING OFF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. STRONG STORMS IN THE GREAT LAKES, CHICAGO TO DETROIT FRIDAY NIGHT AND IT MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY ANYONE FROM PITTSBURGH TO WESTERN NEW YORK SHOULD BE PREPARED TO WATCH OUT THOSE STORMS TO START THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND, SUNDAY. >> LOOKING A LITTLE BETTER THERE, KYRA. ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE YOU. MELISSA FAITH ABUBEY IS AT HARTSFIELD JACKSON AIRPORT THERE IN ATLANTA WHERE I KNOW IT GETS HOT BECAUSE I LIVED FOR 20 YEARS. FAITH, HOW ARE THINGS GOING THIS HOUR HERE? NOT ONLY IS IT HIGH IF YOU'RE TRAVELING, NEED TO GET OUT HERE AS SOON AS YOU CAN OR AS EARLY AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT. THE FAA IS EXPECTING MORE PEOPLE TO TRAVEL AIR THIS YEAR, THIS STRETCH OF THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY. BEN, LAST YEAR, 17 MILLION PASSENGERS EXPECTED TO BE SCREENED AT TSA CHECKPOINTS JUST LIKE THIS ONE. THAT VOLUME IS SLOWLY BUILDING HERE IN ATLANTA ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT TODAY IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THE BUSIEST DAY. HOWEVER, IN ATLANTA, THE STORY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. WE HAVE AIRPORT OFFICIAL HERSHEL WITH US. YOU WERE ACTUALLY JUST TELLING US THAT TOMORROW WILL BE THE BUSIEST DAY FOR ATLANTA. >> CORRECT. RESPECTED ABOUT 349,000 PASSENGERS TOMORROW AND A TOTAL OF ABOUT 2.3 MILLION BETWEEN YESTERDAY AND NEXT WEDNESDAY. >> THE RADIO AND OF COURSE, LOOKING HERE RIGHT NOW, IT DOESN'T LOOK BUSY BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE EMPLOYED SOME CROWD CONTROL. >> RIGHT. RIGHT. WE YES, SOME VERY, VERY SKILLED CROWD CONTROL TECHNICIANS PLACE THAT THEY HAVE EMPLOYED SOME PLANS TO MAKE SURE THE LINE DOESN'T EXTEND TO THE ATRIUM. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET HERE TWO AND A HALF TO 3 HOURS EARLY SO YOU CAN BE A PART OF THIS LINE AND GET A COMFORTABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE, GET TO YOUR GATE AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. >> HERSCHEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. OF COURSE, ALL THE MAJOR AIRLINES ARE ALSO EXPECTING A LOT OF PEOPLE TO COME THROUGH. SO, AGAIN, PREPARE AHEAD OF TIME RIGHT. THERE ARE ABOUT JUST OVER 100 CANCELLATIONS ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. SO NOT ANY MAJOR TRAVEL PROBLEMS AS FAR AS AIR TRAVEL IS CONCERNED KYRA. ALL RIGHT, FAY, THANK YOU, SAM SWEENEY. I YOU'RE TRACKING EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW IF WE ARE HITTING THE ROADS, IF WE NEED TO FLY. >> WHAT CAN WE EXPECT? WELL, KYRA MOST PEOPLE WILL BE DRIVING THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND IT IS GOING TO BE BUSY, AS THEY SAID. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS YEAR, GAS PRICES ARE DOWN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> THE AVERAGE IS BELOW $3.50 A GALLON. SOME PEOPLE, THE COUNTRY SEEING LESS THAN $3 A GALLON. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING BY CAR, TRIPLE J SAYS GET OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING OR LEAVE AFTER 7 P.M. THE BUSIEST DAYS ARE GOING TO BE TOMORROW. AND THEN ON THE RETURN ON MONDAY. >> ALL RIGHT. THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF NEWS FLIGHT ATTENDANTS AS WELL, IN THIS POTENTIAL STRIKE. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING? >> WELL, UNITED AIRLINES AND ITS FLIGHT ATTENDANTS HAVE BEEN IN NEGOTIATIONS FOR SOME TIME. AND YESTERDAY THEY REACHED A POINT WHERE THEY HAD A VOTE FOR, A STRIKE AUTHORIZATION. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT A STRIKE IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN OR WILL HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON. THAT IS JUST ONE STEP IN THE PROCESS AND THERE ARE MANY STEPS AND IT TAKE MONTHS BEFORE ANY SORT OF STRIKE COULD POSSIBLY. BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF STEPS UP INTO INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES CAN STOP OR STALL A STRIKE ALONG WITH CONGRESS UNDER THE LAW. AND THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD LIKELY SEE IF WE GOT TO THAT POINT. BUT EXPERTS TELL ME IT'S LIKELY THAT THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT UNION AND UNITED AIRLINES WILL COME TO SOME SORT OF AN AGREEMENT. >> ALL RIGHT. OR SAM, FAITH, MELISSA, THANK YOU ALL. APPRECIATE IT. COMING, FBI FAILURE. HOW THE AGENCY IS ACCUSED OF MISHANDLING SEX ABUSE ALLEGATIONS EVEN AFTER PROMISING TO MAKE CHANGES. PLUS, THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER CASE. WHY THE SUSPECT AND HIS LEGAL TEAM ARE PUSHING TO HAVE THE TRIAL MOVED OUT OF TOWN. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA? AN OPERATION AFTER ICE IS FINALLY COMBAT OPERATIONS ARE. WE'RE APPROACHING THE GATE NOW. MILITANTS CAME IN FROM FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. OPERATION NUCLEAR REACTOR RECEIVED A COUPLE OF LOADED AND READY TO GO. THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED, BUT THE FLAG, THERE'S NOT A TEAR IN AND OUT OF IT. HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS LABEL RIGHT HERE, THE USA. >> LOOK HERE. SMILE. YOU'RE PROUD OF IT? I LOVE IT. GREAT WORK. HI. WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU. ISRAEL. >> DAVID DAVIS. YES. YES. I'M DAVID YORK. >> I KNOW YOU ARE. YOU DO? EVERY NIGHT. ABC'S WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR IS AMERICA'S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR ENROLLING FOR IT. THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS TOWN LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE. ABC NEWS LIVE EVERYWHERE IN ICELAND, LET'S GO.

OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE JIMMY LIFE GET THE LATEST CELEBRITY BUYS DEALS AND STEALS AND THE COOLEST LIFESTYLE TIPS FROM "GMA". I LOVE THAT. SO MUCH. >> "GMA" WEEKENDS ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> I'M GLAD YOU'RE STREAMING WITH US. THE SUSPECT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDER BRIAN KOHBERGER BACK IN COURT TODAY. AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE HIS TRIAL LOCATION. THE DEFENSE IS ARGUING THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR THEIR CLIENT TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IS IF IT HAPPENS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTY. BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE CONFIDENT THEY CAN SEAT AN IMPARTIAL JURY. LET'S BRING IN OUR ALEX STONE, ALONG WITH OUR LEGAL ANALYST, DANTE FOR MORE ON THIS. SO, ALEX, YOU KNOW, THE HEARING IS STILL UNDERWAY. I YOU'VE BEEN MONITORING IT THE ENTIRE DAY. KEY ARGUMENTS MADE ON BOTH SIDES SO FAR. WELL, SO FAR IT'S ONLY BEEN THE DEFENSE WITNESSES WHO HAVE BEEN TESTIFYING TODAY. THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE ARGUMENT THAT THERE IS BIAS COMING IN TO THIS, THAT ANYBODY WHO IN LATER COUNTY THAT THEY'VE BEEN AROUND SO MUCH MEDIA COVERAGE A PH.D. WHO HAS BEEN TESTIFYING HERE IN THE LAST HOUR ON PRETRIAL, SAYING THAT WHETHER IT BE PODCASTS OR RADIO OR TV, THAT THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH OF IT AND SAYING THAT THAT YOU CAN'T UNDO THAT SAYING ONE STUDY FOUND 72% OF PEOPLE EXPOSED AND NEGATIVE PRETRIAL PUBLICITY VOTED TO CONVICT IN CASES. AND HIS ARGUMENT IS THAT THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, THAT THERE HAS BEEN SO OF IT. HOW DO YOU FIND A FAIR JURY IN LAYTON COUNTY? PROSECUTORS SAY IT CAN BE DONE AND YOU COULD GO TO MARS AND YOU WOULDN'T FIND JURY WHO DOESN'T HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT THIS CASE, HASN'T SEEN NEWS COVERAGE SAYING IT SHOULD STAY IN MOSCOW. >> SO DANTE IF THE JUDGE KEEPS THE TRIAL THERE AGAINST THE DEFENSE'S WISHES, WHAT MEASURES COULD THE COURT TAKE TO ENSURE AN IMPARTIAL JURY THERE? >> I THINK IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO GET AN IMPARTIAL JURY THERE. BUT THE DEFENSE HERE AND THEIR ARGUMENTS ARE TAKING THE WRONG APPROACH. >> YOU CAN'T SIMPLY SAY, OH, THIS CASE IS IN THE NEWS. SO THIS JURY IN MOSCOW WON'T BE ABLE TO GIVE US A FAIR TRIAL BECAUSE THE NEWS IS EVERYWHERE. IT'S NO WHERE SOMETHING HAPPENS IN YOUR TOWN. AND THEN THE PERSON THE NEXT TOWN OVER KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO JUST SAYING THAT IT'S IN THE NEWS IS, NOT THE WAY TO GO ABOUT IT. WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS SAY THAT THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN WERE IMPACTED AFTER THIS MURDER. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO COMMITTED MURDER OR WHY FOR A LONG TIME AFTER THESE MURDERS HAPPENED. AND THEY DID THINGS LIKE SHUT DOWN THE CAMPUS. THERE WERE BUSINESSES IN THE AREA WERE CLOSED. AND MY ARGUMENT WOULD BE THAT THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN WERE PERSONALLY WITH THIS MURDER. >> AND YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT THE DEFENDANT COMMITTED IT. AND THAT'S THE REASON SHOULD TAKE IT OUT OF THIS AREA, NOT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S ON THE NEWS, BECAUSE, LISTEN, EVERYBODY IS WATCHING YOU NOW FROM NOT ONLY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD. >> ALEX STONE, DANTE MILLS. THANKS, GENTLEMEN. A NEW WATCHDOG REPORT OUT TODAY BLASTING, THE FBI'S HANDLING OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS. THAT REPORT BY FBI INSPECTOR GENERAL SUGGESTS THAT THE FBI DIDN'T PROPERLY. ISSUES RELATED TO HOW IT HANDLED TIPS EVEN AFTER GYMNASTICS PHYSICIAN LARRY NASSAR PLEADED GUILTY TO ABUSING SEVEN GIRLS AND THE BUREAU DIRECTOR APOLOGIZED TO THE VICTIMS FOR NOT ADDRESSING THEIR ALLEGATIONS SOONER. OUR JUSTICE REPORTER ALEX MALLIN HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE LATEST ON THIS. SO THE REPORT SUGGESTS THAT THE FBI CONTINUED TO MISHANDLE THESE TIPS EVEN AFTER IT PROMISED TO MAKE THE CHANGES IN THE WAKE OF THE LARRY NASSAR SCANDAL. SO HOW DO SERIOUS FAILURES LIKE THESE PERSIST EVEN AFTER THE FBI WAS CALLED OUT FOR THEM? >> WELL, KYRA, THE FBI SAYS IT'S REALLY A PROBLEM OF RESOURCES ON THEIR END. THEY SAY THAT THERE'S A SURGE OF CHILD ABUSE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE COME INTO THE BUREAU IN RECENT YEARS AND THEY ARE SIMPLY OVERMATCHED AT A LOT OF LEVELS. THEY ALSO SAY THAT THIS REPORT KIND OVERSTATES THINGS. THAT'S THEIR POSITION. THEY THINK THAT THERE'S A LOT MORE PAPERWORK ISSUE AND THAT A SMALL MINORITY OF CASES WERE ACTUALLY MISHANDLED. BUT THIS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT IS TRULY SCATHING. >> THEY CONDUCTED AN AUDIT IN THE SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT NASSAR REPORT. AND IN THAT 16 MONTHS THEY OBSERVED IN 321 CASES AUDITED. OF THOSE 321 CASES THAT THEY ADDED, 42 INVOLVED INCIDENTS WHERE THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FBI AND SAY THAT THESE WERE SO INSUFFICIENTLY HANDLED THAT WE ARE ALARMED THAT YOU NEED TO GO REVISIT THESE ALLEGATIONS BECAUSE CHILDREN COULD POTENTIALLY BE IN DANGER AND THAT IS JUST A INDICTMENT OF THE FBI, OBVIOUSLY IN THE WAKE OF THAT REPORT KYRA. >> SO, ALEX, WE NOW HAVE THIS STATEMENT FROM, THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING LARRY NASSAR VICTIMS. AND HERE'S HE SAID, DESPITE YEARS OF PROMISES AND NUMEROUS HEARINGS, IT'S NOW CLEAR THAT THE LARRY NASSAR SCANDAL COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. TODAY, IT'S TIME FOR CONGRESS. AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE THE STATEMENT TO TAKE ACTION TO REFORM THE FBI. THAT'S EXACTLY DIRECTLY TAKEN FROM THE STATEMENT. SO WHAT ACTIONS COULD CONGRESS ACTUALLY DO NOW TO TO FIX THESE ISSUES? >> WELL, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT. WE'RE SEEING THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ALREADY COMING OUT AND SAYING THAT HE'S GOING TO HOLD A HEARING IN THE COMING WEEKS WITH SENIOR FBI LEADERSHIP. WE ALSO ALSO KNOW THE FBI DIRECTOR WRAY, GAVE A PROMISE, THOSE VICTIMS AT THAT U.S. GYMNASTICS HEARING THAT THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY COME FORWARD WITH CONCRETE STEPS AND TRANSPARENCY ON THEY'RE MAKING CHANGES UP AND DOWN THE BUREAU KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL WE'LL SEE CHANGES, OBVIOUSLY, DO NEED TO BE MADE. THANKS, ALEX. THE CIA IS TAKING CREDIT NOW FOR HELPING THWART THE TERROR PLOT AGAINST TAYLOR SWIFT'S CONCERT IN VIENNA.

HE ALSO REVEALED DISTURBING DETAILS HOW THE PLOT WAS INTENDED TO KILL, QUOTE, TENS OF OF PEOPLE. >> JACK DOUGHERTY JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE. JACK, IS THE CIA SAYING ABOUT THE EXTENT OF ITS INVOLVEMENT HERE? >> WELL, THE WAS ABLE TO DEVELOP INTELLIGENCE POINTING TO A PLOT THAT THEY WANTED TO ATTACK THIS TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA. THEY FOUND THAT THEY PASSED ON THE INFORMATION TO AUSTRIA AUSTRIAN AUTHORITIES. THEY WERE ABLE TO ARREST FOUR INDIVIDUALS. THEY'VE FOUND BOMB MAKING MATERIALS. ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAD AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAD ACCESS TO THE VENUE. THEY MADE THE ARREST. THE DAY BEFORE THE CONCERT WAS SCHEDULED. IT WAS, OF COURSE, CANCELED OUT OF CONCERN ABOUT THE ONGOING THREAT ENVIRONMENT THERE. SO WHAT MORE ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT WHY THIS TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT IN PARTICULAR WAS TARGETED? WELL, THESE INDIVIDUALS APPEAR TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ISIS OR ISIS-K, THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION AND. IT APPEARS THIS MAY BE JUST A HIGH PROFILE TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY. ISIS HAS PUSHED OUT PROPAGANDA TO ENCOURAGE AND TO TRY TO INSPIRE THEIR. THEY'RE HERE. IT'S TO TRY TO ATTACK VENUES LIKE THIS AND EVENTS LIKE THIS. OF COURSE, TAYLOR SWIFT IS AN AMERICAN ICON AND ATTACKING CONCERT RELATED TO HER WOULD BE A RICH TARGET FOR AN LIKE ISIS. >> SO HOW IS CIA WORKING WITH OTHER INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES NOW TO TRY AND PREVENT ANY MORE POTENTIAL IN THE FUTURE? >> CLEARLY, CIA STILL CONSIDERS THE COUNTERTERRORISM MISSION ITS TOP PRIORITY, AND THEY ROUTINELY ACROSS THEIR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, TO TRY TO SHARE WHEN THEY GET IT. IN FACT, IN AN ATTACK, EVEN FOR ADVERSARIAL NATIONS, THEY SHARE INFORMATION. THEY SHARED INFORMATION WITH THE RUSSIANS RELATED TO A POTENTIAL ATTACK THERE.

THE ONLY GOOD THING THAT SHE'S FLIP FLOPPING, SHE'S THE GREATEST FLIP FLOPPER THINGS THAT SHE NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF. SHE'S PROBABLY GOES BACK TO HER ROOM AND GETS SICK TO HER STOMACH. SHE SAYS WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY BECAUSE SHE'S A MARXIST, SHE'S A FASCIST, AND SHE NEVER BELIEVED HIM. AND NOW SHE'S, OH, WE WANT TO BUILD A STRONG BORDER. >> WHERE HAS SHE BEEN FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS? AS WE TOOK IN 20 MILLION PEOPLE, MANY OF THEM HORRIBLE CRIMINALS. MY VISION IS FOR A MIDDLE CLASS THAT IS ONCE, AGAIN, THE ENVY OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN FAST. IF WORKERS LIKE YOU AND COMMUNITIES LIKE THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD A NICE HOUSE, A NEW CAR, A GROWING FAMILY ON A SINGLE INCOME, ALL WHILE ENJOYING THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF LIVING ON EARTH. >> RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> AMERICANS DESERVE SAFE STREETS, SECURE BORDERS, GREAT SCHOOLS HEALTHY CHILDREN, BUSTLING FACTORIES, AND A NATION THAT IS AND A NATION THAT IS STRONG. >> THAT'S THE FUTURE THAT I INTEND TO DELIVER AND I WILL DELIVER. >> AND YOU HAD THE BEST ECONOMY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. JUST A SHORT WHILE AGO. AND NOW YOU HAVE WHAT THEY CALL INFLATION WHAT THAT HAS DONE TO THIS COUNTRY. AND FRANKLY, THEY'VE DONE ALSO WORSE. AND YOU'RE GOING TO END UP IN WORLD WAR THREE WITH THESE PEOPLE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. WE'VE NEVER BEEN SO CLOSE TO WORLD WAR THREE. AND, YOU KNOW, WITH THE POWER OF WEAPONS, I ALWAYS SAY THIS ISN'T THE ARMY TANKS RUNNING BACK FORTH, SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER. THE POWER OF WEAPONS TODAY, VERY DANGEROUS, BAD. WE HAVE PEOPLE WE DON'T EVEN DO. WE HAVE A PRESIDENT. HE JUST GOT BACK FROM CALIFORNIA. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE. HE NEVER GOT THERE. HE WENT TO DELAWARE AND HE'S LYING ON A BEACH, SLEEPING ALL DAY LONG. NO. WHO THE HELL WANTS TO SLEEP AND WHO WANTS TO SLEEP IN PUBLIC? >> HE'S SLEEPING. >> DO YOU THINK PRESIDENT XI OF IS AT A BEACH SLEEPING? DO YOU THINK KIM JONG IS SLEEPING FROM NORTH KOREA WITH HIS NUCLEAR WEAPONS ALL OVER THE PLACE? THEY DON'T SLEEP SO MUCH AND WE HAVE A GUY SLEEPING AND SHE'S LOOK, SHE'S INCOMPETENT. SHE CAN'T DO AN INTERVIEW. IT'S BEEN MONTHS. >> SHE CAN'T. I JUST DID AN INTERVIEW BACKSTAGE WITH A VERY TERRIBLE PERSON. >> SHE WAS OKAY. NBC THINK IT WAS NBC FAKE NEWS. SHE ASKED ME ABOUT ALL SORTS OF THINGS. SHE ASKED ME ABOUT ABORTION. AND I HANDLED IT VERY NICELY BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S SO OVERPLAYED WE HAVE ABORTION. WE HAVE THE WHOLE THING BROUGHT BACK INTO THE STATES WHERE. >> IT BELONGS. THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY WANTED IT FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, AND THEY'RE VOTING ON IT. AND I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE IN THE EXCEPTIONS RONALD REAGAN DID FOR LIFE OF THE MOTHER, RAPE, INCEST, THE EXCEPTIONS, PROBABLY 90% OF THE PEOPLE DO. BUT, YOU KNOW, THE I WAS JUST TELLING THIS REPORTER THE REAL PROBLEM IN REAL RADICALS ON THAT ISSUE ARE THE DEMOCRATS. WELL, YOU CAN HAVE AN ABORTION IN NINTH MONTH AND IN SIX STATES YOU'RE ALLOWED TO KILL THE BABY AFTER THE BABY IS BORN. AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE STATES IS MINNESOTA, WHERE THIS TAMPON, TIM COMES, FROM, KILL THE BABY AFTER THE BABY IS BORN. >> SO THAT'S NO LONGER ABORTION. THAT'S CALLED EXECUTION. RIGHT. YOU'RE ALLOWED TO EXECUTE THE BABY AFTER THE BABY, THE DEAD, THE RADICAL KAMALA IS PROMISING COMMUNIST STYLE PRICE CONTROLS FREE, TAXPAYER FUNDED HEALTH CARE. NOT THAT YOU CAN HAVE WHAT NOBODY IN ROOM IS GOING TO WANT IT FOR ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AMNESTY AND CITIZENSHIP FOR THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS MIGRANTS. SHE LET SAY SHE WANTS TO GIVE CITIZENSHIP TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME HERE ILLEGALLY. THEY DIDN'T COME THROUGH THE, YOU KNOW, WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY, BUT THEY HAVE TO COME LEGALLY RIGHT AFTER COMING IN LEGALLY, WE'RE TAKING PEOPLE THAT ARE MURDERERS AND DRUG DEALERS AND SHE WANTS TO GIVE THEM AMNESTY. >> I TELL YOU, I DON'T GET IT. >> BUT ALL OF THIS WILL DESTROY MEDICARE AND WILL DESTROY YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY. SHE CALLED FOR THE ABOLITION OF ICE. YOU KNOW, ICE. HE'S A GREAT PATRIOT. SHE'S A TOUGH PEOPLE. I MEAN, LOOK AT IT. SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE IN THE FRONT ROW. THEY'RE TOUGH AS . BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE NICE. YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK INTO MR. KING GANGS AND START SLUGGING IT OUT. THESE GUYS ARE SERIOUSLY TOUGH AND THEY LOVE OUR COUNTRY. YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY'S GOT TO DO IT. I TOOK THEM OUT BY THE THOUSANDS NOW. THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE THEM OUT ANYMORE. THEY WANT TO LET ICE THE WORST GANG PROBABLY IN THE WORLD, THE MEANEST THE NASTIEST THEY SLICE UP PEOPLE WITH KNIVES THEY'D RATHER USE A KNIFE THAT A GUN IT'S MORE IT'S MORE PAINFUL. THEY KILL TWO YOUNG STUDENTS WALKING TO SCHOOL, TWO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG 16-YEAR-OLD GIRLS WALKING TO SCHOOL. >> THEY SLICE THEM UP IN LONG ISLAND AND THEY WANT TO LET THESE PEOPLE STAY. AND WE'RE NOT GOING LET THEM STAY. >> WE WANT TO GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. KAMALA, A BILL TO BLOW UP THE ENTIRE U.S. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND FORCE EVERY AMERICAN INTO A SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT RUN PROGRAM WITH RATIONING AND DEADLY WAIT TIMES. YOU GO THERE AND THEY SAY, THAT'S GOOD. WE'RE GOING TO BE ALL SET FOR YOU. COME BACK IN THREE MONTHS. SHE A 70 TO 80% TAX RATE INCREASE. LOOK AT THIS. >> SHE THINKS THE RATE ACTUALLY THE RATE COULD BE AS MUCH, 80%. >> SHE SAYS I'LL THINK ABOUT THAT. WELL, I WON'T THINK ABOUT IT, OKAY. >> I WON'T THINK ABOUT ANYWHERE NEAR IT. IN FACT, WE'RE GOING FOR A TAX CUT. YOU KNOW, WE GAVE YOU THE TAX CUT IN HISTORY AND THAT GAVE US TREMENDOUS NUMBERS, JOBS. >> WE ACTUALLY TOOK IN MORE INCOME THE FOLLOWING YEAR AFTER THE CUT BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY WAS BOOMING LIKE IT HAD NEVER BOOMED BEFORE. SHE SUPPORTS ABOLISHING CASH BAIL. SO WHEN YOU MURDER SOMEBODY, OH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. YOU'RE FREE TO GO LOCATION OR NOTHING, AND THEN THEY GO MURDER SOMEBODY ELSE. AND IN SOME CASES MUCH MORE THAN ONE PERSON AND SHE ENDORSED A MARXIST CRUSADE TO DEFUND THE POLICE, YOU KNOW, THAT SHE WAS THE LEADER OF THE DEFUND THE POLICE. >> DOES ANYBODY IN MICHIGAN, YOU KNOW, MOST I SAID, WHY DON'T I JUST WOKE UP. I DON'T HAVE TO WASTE A LOT OF TIME. YOU'RE OFF. THAT'S RIGHT. IS ANYBODY HERE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP? I'M JUST GLAD I RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO THAT, I THINK PRETTY GOOD. NOW. BUT, YOU KNOW, I SAID, WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE A SPEECH? ALL I HAVE TO DO IS SAY SHE WAS THE LEADER OF THE DEFUND THE POLICE MOVEMENT. AND THEN I SAY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH EMILY, BECAUSE WHEN YOU HEAR THAT NOW SHE'S A MARXIST, HER FATHER IS A MARXIST, HE'S A MARXIST PROFESSOR. NICE. THIS ELECTION IS NOT A CHOICE BETWEEN DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS. IT'S A CHOICE BETWEEN COMMUNISM AND FREEDOM. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND NOBODY REALLY KNOWS. THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING. THE MAN ON THE STREET. YEAH, THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, HARRIS, EVERYONE'S SAYING, WHO THE HELL IS HARRIS? NOBODY KNOWS WHO HARRIS IS WHAT'S THE VICE PRESIDENT'S NAME? THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE NAME IS NOW, THAT NAME KAMALA IS SO A LITTLE COMPLEX. HE'S ABOUT DIFFERENT WAYS OF PRONOUNCING IT RIGHT. BUT KAMALA IS A AT LEAST IT'S A NAME YOU SORT OF REMEMBER. >> YOU CAN'T USE HARRIS BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS WHO THE HELL HARRIS' WHO IS HARRIS? WE WANT SOMEBODY THEY KNOW. >> ALL RIGHT. IT'S TRUMP IN TRUMP'S FASHION, THIS TIME AT A RALLY HE HAS THERE IN PORTERVILLE, MICHIGAN. CLEARLY, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN AND VERY IMPORTANT SWING STATES RIGHT NOW IN THIS. WE'VE BEEN TRACKING HIS RALLY TODAY. ALSO, VP HARRIS, WHO IS ON HER BUS TOUR THROUGH, GEORGIA, HOPING TO WIN THAT STATE OVER AS WELL. OUR SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG AND SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS ARE HAVE BEEN LISTENING AS WELL. SELINA'S IS ACTUALLY THERE IN THE ROOM AND SELINA WAS JUST MAKING A LIST HERE. OH, SORRY. ARE YOU IN LACROSSE? SHE'S IN LACROSSE. NOW. IT'S HARD TO KEEP TRACK WHEN WE'VE GOT THE CANDIDATES CRISSCROSSING. THERE WE GO. THANK YOU. IT'S HARD. KEEP TRACK. YOU'RE FOLLOWING THE CANDIDATES IN ALL THE IMPORTANT STATES, RIGHT? BUT LOOK, I WANT TO START WITH YOU, SELINA. JUST THE FORMER PRESIDENT TALKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION, INFLATION, THAT WE'RE CLOSE TO A WORLD WAR THREE. HE ALSO TALKED ABORTION. I MEAN, LOOK, WE PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO FACT CHECK HE JUST THREW OUT THERE. SO I'M GOING TO LET YOU START YOU YOU BEGIN WHERE YOU WANT TO BEGIN AND WE'LL PICK IT FROM THERE. >> YEAH, CAROL, WHY ME? IT IS HARD TO KEEP TRACK BECAUSE HE IS REALLY STEPPING UP HIS CAMPAIGNING IN ORDER TO VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS' RISE. SO RIGHT AFTER HE FINISHES THAT RALLY, MICHIGAN, HE WILL BE HERE IN LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN. HE'S GOING TO BE GIVING A TOWN HALL ON THAT STAGE JUST IN A FEW HOURS. BUT LIKE HE COVERED A LOT OF TOPICS DURING THAT CAMPAIGN RALLY IN MICHIGAN. HE IS SPEAKING AT A STEEL PROCESSING FACILITY. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE REMARKS FOCUSED ON THE ECONOMY, KNOW THIS IS AN AREA WHERE THEY HAVE THE UPPER HAND, WITH POLLS SHOWING THAT VOTERS STILL MORE WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES LIKE THE ECONOMY AND INFLATION, EVEN VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IS GAINING GROUND OVER HIM IN THE POLLS. NOW, WE KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP'S AIDES WANT HIM TO STICK TO THE ISSUES AND TONE DOWN THE PERSONAL ATTACKS. HE DID MOSTLYTICK TO THE ISSUES, TRIED TO BLAME INFLATION AND RISING PRICES ON VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS. HE WANTED TO BLAME HER FOR THE CHAOS AT THE BORDER, BUT HE DID HAVE SOME PERSONAL ATTACKS. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW IT'S HARD TO PRONOUNCE VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS' NAME. HE SAID THAT SHE IS INCOMPETENT . BUT LOOK, DONALD TRUMP KNOWS THAT THE ECONOMY IS AN ISSUE. HE CAN RESONATE MORE WITH VOTERS. JUST TALKING TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS HERE TODAY, THEY THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT IS AT THE TOP OF THEIR MIND. AND AT THIS TOWN HALL, IT'S GOING TO BE MODERATED BY TULSI GABBARD, A FORMER DEMOCRAT WHO MORE RECENTLY CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF FORMALLY ENDORSING DONALD TRUMP. SO HE WANTS TO TRY AND REACH A BROADER BASE OF VOTERS HERE. HE WANTS TO ACROSS THE AISLE. THERE ARE SOME SUPPORTERS HERE WHO TOLD ME THEY WERE RFK JR. SUPPORTERS, AND NOW THEY'RE HERE TO SEE WHAT TRUMP HAS TO SAY HIMSELF. SO ANY MOMENT NOW, HE'S GOING TO TAKE THAT STAGE IN A FEW AND HE'LL TAKE QUESTIONS FROM VOTERS AS WELL. ALL SELINA, THANK YOU. I'M LOOKING BACK AT HIS QUOTE HERE OF WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, IMMIGRATION OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. WE TOOK IN 20 MILLION PEOPLE, MANY OF WHOM ARE HORRIBLE CRIMINALS. JUST FACT CHECK REAL QUICKLY THAT THAT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT THOSE ENTERING THIS COUNTRY ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE CRIMINALS. WE'VE HAD TWO TO MENTION THAT. THAT IS A TALKING POINT OF HIS. WE HAVE TO ALWAYS CORRECT THAT ALSO. HE DID, SINCE HE'S THERE TALKING JOBS AT A AT A STEEL FACILITY AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT MANUFACTURING AND CREATING MORE JOBS IN THE ECONOMY, A SUBJECT, CLEARLY THAT VOTERS TRUST HIM IN THE POLLS MORE SO THAN KAMALA. NOW, KAMALA HARRIS, RIGHT NOW, AMERICANS ARE PAYING THREE TIMES AS MUCH IN MORTGAGES. ACTUALLY, MORTGAGE RATES NOW ARE LOWER. ALSO, THEY WERE LOW, HIS ADMINISTRATION, BUT THAT'S ALSO BECAUSE HE WAS THE PRESIDENT COVID. SO JUST WANT TO BUTTON THOSE UP KATHERINE FAULDERS. I'LL TAKE IT TO YOU. ON ABORTION, CLEARLY MAKING COMMENTS THAT ARE JUST SIMPLY NOT TRUE. YEAH, COMMENTS THAT ARE SIMPLY NOT TRUE, CAROL. WE'VE HEARD THE FORMER PRESIDENT MAKE THESE TYPES OF COMMENTS BEFORE WHERE HE SAYS DEMOCRATS ARE ALLOWING FOR BABIES TO BE EXECUTED THAT AFTER THEY'RE BORN. I THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT IN STARK TERMS THAT THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE REALLY AT ALL. NO STATE IS PASSING HAS PASSED ANY LAW THAT ALLOWS SUCH A THING, THAT ALLOWS BABIES TO BE EXECUTED AFTER THEY'RE BORN. THAT'S A CLAIM THAT TRUMP IS BLAMING ON DEMOCRATS, AND THAT IS JUST NOT AS IT RELATES TO ABORTION, SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE HEAR FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT. IT'S SOMETHING HE SAID BEFORE. IT'S WHAT HE LIKES TO SAY ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AND LOOK, I THINK SELINA TOUCHED ON THIS SOME, BUT JUST FROM TALKING TO PEOPLE CLOSE TO TRUMP FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. YOU HIT ON THIS, KYRA, IN YOUR LEAD IN TO SELINA, WHEN YOU SAID JUST TRUMP, TYPICAL TRUMP. WE HEAR HIM THAT WAY ALL THE TIME. THESE ARE REMARKS ON THE ECONOMY IN MICHIGAN, IN A SWING STATE IN AREA WHERE HE IS UP IN THE POLLS, AS YOU POINTED OUT TIMES NOW, AND HIS ADVISERS WOULD HOPE THAT HE WOULD TRY IN ON THAT, THAT HE WOULD TRY AND CARRY THAT MOMENTUM. HARRIS COULD CATCH UP TO HIM IN SOME OF THE POLLING ON THAT SPECIFIC. AND SHE IS TRYING AND LAYING OUT PARTICULAR POLICY PROPOSALS . BUT IT'S THESE TYPES OF THINGS, WHETHER IT'S WHAT WE'RE JUST FACT CHECKING ABOUT ABORTION AND WHAT IT'S WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, ABOUT IMMIGRATION. OBVIOUSLY, THOSE ARE BIG TALKING FOR TRUMP ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, BUT HIS ADVISERS WOULD PREFER IN SOME CASES THAT HE ACTUALLY STICK TO THE ECONOMY, STICK TO THE MESSAGING ON THE ECONOMY, ESPECIALLY IN THESE STATES THAT ARE ALL SO IMPORTANT TO HIM. I WAS TALKING TO OUR TEAM EARLIER JUST ABOUT CAMPAIGNING. AND IT TURNS OUT THAT WHILE HE WAS SAYING A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT HE DIDN'T NEED TO GO TO BATTLEGROUND STATES, THAT ALREADY AHEAD IN THE POLLING THE PAST 19 DAYS, HE'S ONLY CAMPAIGNED IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. >> THESE STATES LIKE MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA, NORTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA. HE REALIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE STATES AND REALIZES HIS ADVISERS AT LEAST DO THE IMPORTANCE OF BRINGING THIS MESSAGE OF THE ECONOMY. >> FOR EXAMPLE, TO THESE STATES. AND THEY'RE HOPEFUL, AT LEAST THROUGH THE CAMPAIGNING, THESE NEXT UNDER 70 DAYS, THAT HE AT LEAST TRIES STAY ON MESSAGE HERE. >> TOO TIGHT RACE, NO DOUBT AS YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE POLLS EVERY DAY. YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS THAT IT'S IT'S NECK AND NECK STILL. SELINA TRUMP ALSO SAYING THAT THE VP REFUSES TO DO ANY TYPE OF INTERVIEWS, IN PARTICULAR NATIONAL INTERVIEW. BUT WE SHOULD POINT OUT THAT HE THAT SHE DID SIT DOWN WITH DANA BASH IT AT CNN. THAT INTERVIEW HAS WRAPPED UP CNN EVEN STARTING TO PUT PIECES OF THAT INTERVIEW OUT TO AIR. EXACTLY. I MEAN, SHE'S FINALLY SITTING DOWN FOR THAT INTERVIEW, WHICH, AS YOU SAY, HAS RECENTLY WRAPPED UP. IT'S GOING TO BE AIRING TONIGHT ON CNN. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF SCRUTINY ON THIS INTERVIEW BECAUSE IT IS THE FIRST IN-DEPTH SIT DOWN ON THE RECORD INTERVIEW SHE'S DOING WITH THE JOURNALISTS SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN DROPPED OUT OF THIS RACE. AND IN THAT INTERVENING TIME, THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF REPUBLICAN ATTACKS. WHY SHE ISN'T DOING MORE INTERVIEWS, WHY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ISN'T SAFER, MORE OF THESE OFF THE CUFF AND SCRIPTED SETTINGS IN THAT PERIOD. YOU HAVE SEEN DONALD TRUMP AND J.D. VANCE GIVE MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS TO ALL DIFFERENT OF PLATFORMS, YOU KNOW, STREAMING PODCASTS, MORE UNTRADITIONAL MEDIA. NOW, IN THIS INTERVIEW, WE ARE ALREADY LEARNING FROM SOME OF THE PRE CLIPS THAT WE'RE SEEING FROM CNN THAT SHE'S ANSWERING WHY SHE'S CHANGED HER POSITIONS FROM WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING HER TO BE PRESIDENT FOR THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BACK WHEN SHE WAS MORE LEFT MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE PARTY. AND NOW SHE'S RUNNING AS MORE OF A CENTRIST. SO SHE'S GOING TO EXPLAIN AT THIS INTERVIEW WHY. SHE HAS SHIFTED AND IT APPEARS THAT AT LEAST PRE COMMENT, SHE'S THAT HER VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED, BUT SHE'S GAINED MORE PERSPECTIVE UNDER AS VICE PRESIDENT. NOW, WHETHER OR NOT THOSE COMMENTS ARE GOING TO BE TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS ANOTHER QUESTION. BUT THIS IS REALLY THE TIME THAT SHE'S HAVING TO ANSWER TOUGH QUESTIONS ABOUT HER PLATFORM, ABOUT HER POLICY. SO A LOT OF SCRUTINY AND A LOT OF STAKES ARE BEING PUT ON THIS INTERVIEW THAT'S AIRING TONIGHT. SELINA WANG THERE IN LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN, KATHERINE FAULDERS HERE IN OUR BUREAU. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. IT I'M KYRA PHILLIPS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR STREAMING WITH US.

HER RALLY EXPECTED JUST MOMENTS FROM NOW, WRAPPING A TOUR THAT IS STILL IN THAT HIGH STAKES STATE AND ALL AHEAD BY WAY OF THAT HIGH STAKES INTERVIEW TONIGHT, HER FIRST SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, TAKING FIRE FROM REPUBLICANS WHO SAY SHE HASN'T FACED ENOUGH TOUGH QUESTIONS. PLUS, THE SUSPECT IN THE MURDERS OF FOUR IDAHO COLLEGE STUDENTS IN COURT TODAY. >> SHOULD HIS TRIAL BE MOVED FROM THE AREA SURROUNDING THAT COLLEGE TOWN STILL REELING FROM THOSE BRUTAL KILLINGS? WHY LAWYERS FOR BRIAN SAY THERE'S NO CHANCE A LOCAL JURY COULD BE IMPARTIAL. AND THE IDF LAUNCHING A SERIES OF RAIDS IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. THE U.N. WARNING IT COULD MAKE A, QUOTE, EXTREMELY EXPLOSIVE WORSE. >> BUT WE DO. >> WITH THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP BOTH HITTING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TODAY IN A BATTLEGROUND. HARRIS HOLDING EVENTS MOMENTS FROM NOW IN WRAPPING UP A BUS TOUR THAT TOOK HER TO SOME DEEP RED PARTS OF THAT KEY STATE. HER RUNNING MATE, MINNETA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ. MEANWHILE IS HOLDING EVENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT AFTER JOINING HARRIS THAT TOUR. ALL OF IT AN EFFORT TO SHORE UP SUPPORT WITH BLACK VOTERS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE SOMETIMES OVERLY BOOKED IN THAT STATE. AND TONIGHT, BOTH HARRIS AND WALZ WILL SIT DOWN FOR THEIR FIRST MAJOR TELEVISION INTERVIEW WITH CNN SINCE HARRIS LAUNCHED HER PRESIDENTIAL BID. HARRIS SAYING SHE'LL APPOINT A REPUB CHICKEN TO HER CABINET IN THAT INTERVIEW. AND THEN THE VP ADDRESSING CRITICISM THAT SHE'S FLIP FLOPPED ON CERTAIN POLICIES. TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS CLIP JUST RELEASED. MY VALUE AROUND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO SECURE OUR BORDER. THAT VALUE IS NOT CHANGE. I SPENT TWO TERMS AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA PROSECUTING TRANSNATIONAL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS VIOLATIONS, AMERICAN LAWS. >> FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, MEANWHILE, PUSHING AHEAD IN HIS SWING STATE TOUR, INCREASING HIS CAMPAIGN'S TEMPO IN RECENT WEEKS HITTING VARIOUS BATTLEGROUND STATES. MEETING WITH VOTERS AT A TOWN IN WISCONSIN AND THEN IN MICHIGAN WHERE HE SPOKE ABOUT THE ECONOMY, BUT ALSO TOOK AIM AT HARRIS. >> HERE'S THAT. IF SHE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE BECAUSE THE PAST HAS BEEN SO THE JOB THEY'VE DONE, LET ME TELL YOU. HE'S THE WORST PRESIDENT, THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, AND SHE'S THE WORST VICE PRESIDENT AND SHE'S THE BALTASAR IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. >> LET'S BRING IN ABC'S CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE, ALONG WITH SELINA WANG OUR SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR US IN . BOTH OF THEM. MARY, I WANT TO START WITH YOU IN GEORGIA WITH THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN. WE HEARD FROM VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IN THAT CLIP THAT CNN RELEASED. THERE WILL BE MORE OF THAT INTERVIEW TO COME LATER ON IN THE EVENING. HOW IS THE CAMPAIGN TO THAT CRITICISM FROM REPUBLICANS THAT IT TOOK THIS LONG TO DO AN INTERVIEW? YEAH, WELL, I THINK THEY'VE RESPONDED BY DOING THIS INTERVIEW. AND YOU HEARD HER PRESSED ON ON HOW HER POSITIONS MAY HAVE CHANGED OVER YEARS AND HOW SHE EXPLAINS THAT TO VOTERS NOW THAT SHE IS AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET, NOT THE RUNNING MATE AND NOT, YOU KNOW, THE CANDIDATE WHO SHE ONCE WAS FOUR YEARS AGO. YOU HEARD HER THERE SAYING HER VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED. YOU CERTAINLY HAVE FACED PLENTY OF CRITICISM FROM REPUBLICANS, THE FORMER PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, FOR NOT DOING, YOU KNOW, AN IN-DEPTH SENATOR, FOR NOT DOING A FORMAL PRESS CONFERENCE WHERE THE CAMPAIGN IS QUICK TO NOTE THAT HARRIS DOES ENGAGE FREQUENTLY WITH THE PRESS. BUT YOU KNOW THIS, SHE DOES IT MORE IN THOSE INFORMAL GAGGLES THAT SHE'S GETTING ON OFF THE BUS OR ON AND OFF THE PLANE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT SHE HAD SAT DOWN FOR A FORMAL INTERVIEW, AND IT IS A VERY DIFFERENT SETTING, BUT IT WAS A CHANCE, HER VOTERS AND VIEWERS, TO SEE HER ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL. COMMUNITY CHANCE TO REALLY DEFINE HERSELF IN A DIFFERENT WAY. INTERVIEWS ARE, COURSE, MORE PERSONAL THAN THESE BIG GIANT RALLIES LIKE THE ONE WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE HERE. SO WE KNOW THAT SHE WAS OUT WITH CHRIS ON HOW HER VALUES MAY CHANGE OR OUR POSITIONS MAY CHANGED. WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT SHE TALKED ABOUT WHAT HER CABINET MIGHT LOOK LIKE. SHE ALSO, WE UNDERSTAND, WAS ASKED ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S CRITICISM ABOUT HER RACIAL IDENTITY. WE KNOW THAT BASED OFF CNN'S WRITE UP, THAT WAS NOT A QUESTION SHE WANTED TO ENTERTAIN. SHE BASICALLY SAID, NEXT QUESTION ON JAKE, THAT RALLY, IF ANYTHING, A SIGN OF JUST HOW MUCH. THIS RACE HAS CHANGED. THAT IS NOT A BIDEN RALLY THAT MARY IS STANDING FRONT OF. THAT IS FOR SURE. SELINA, I WANT TO TURN TO YOU HERE. TRUMP HAS BEEN MORE AGGRESSIVE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WHEN IT COMES TO HIS CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE . HE'S HAVING MULTIPLE EVENTS, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE EVENTS ON THE SAME DAY. THAT A MUCH DIFFERENT TEMPO THAN HE PREVIOUSLY HAD. IS THAT A STRATEGY THAT'S WORKING? AND ALSO, HAS HE BEEN ABLE TO KIND OF RESTRAIN HIMSELF FROM THOSE PERSONAL ATTACKS THAT HIGH PROFILE REPUBLICANS HAVE TOLD HIM TO AVOID? YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. WE'VE SEEN DONALD AND HIS RUNNING MATE, J.D. VANCE, SIGNIFICANTLY STEP UP THEIR CAMPAIGNING AS THEY SEE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS' RISE AND HER REALLY GAINING OVER DONALD TRUMP IN THOSE POLLS. AND THIS WEEK, TRUMP IS REALLY FOCUSED THESE MIDWESTERN BATTLEGROUND STATES THAT PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN NARROWLY WON IN 2020. THEY'RE REALLY TRYING TO CHANGE THE TONE. IN JUST A FEW HOURS FROM NOW, HE'S GOING TO BE TAKING THE STAGE HERE IN LA, WISCONSIN. HE'S GOING TO BE DOING A TOWN HALL MODERATED BY FORMER DEMOCRATS. NOW, WHEN IT COMES TO THE STRATEGY HERE, HIS AIDES OF COURSE, WANT HIM TO FOCUS MORE ON THE ISSUES AND TONE DOWN THOSE PERSONAL ATTACKS. AT THAT RALLY EARLIER TODAY IN MICHIGAN, DONALD TRUMP TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE ISSUES LIKE THE ECONOMY, IMMIGRATION, HAMMERING VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ON BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES, TRYING TO BLAME FOR RISING PRICES IN AMERICA, EVEN THOUGH INFLATION IS COOLING. BUT HE DID NOT HOLD BACK ON THE PERSONAL ATTACKS EITHER. AND HE REPEATEDLY MISPRONOUNCED VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS' NAME. HE ALSO CALLED HER INCOMPETENT. THESE ARE, OF COURSE, THE TYPES OF PHRASES, RHETORIC THAT HIS CAMPAIGN WOULD LIKE HIM TO TONE DOWN. BUT A FEW HOURS, WE'LL SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ON THIS STAGE. A LOT OF THE VOTERS HERE TELL, ME, THEY WANT HIM TO FOCUS ON THE ECONOMY. THEY WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIS ECONOMIC PLAN. AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ALSO TELLS US THAT HE SEES FORMATS LIKE THIS, DISCUSSIONS WITH VOTERS, TOWN HALLS LIKE THIS AS PART OF HIS PREPARATION THAT FIRST FACE OFF LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY. >> MARY, I QUICKLY WANT TO TURN TO YOU HERE IN THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN, WRAPPING UP THAT BUS TOUR IN RURAL PARTS OF GEORGIA. NOT A PLACE DEMOCRATS TYPICALLY CAMPAIGN. >> WHAT'S THE STRATEGY ON THAT ? >> WELL, LOOK, THEY DO FEEL CONFIDENT AND OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY CAN THIS STATE FIRMLY BACK IN PLAY FORCE. >> JOE BIDEN NARROWLY WON GEORGIA FOUR YEARS AGO BY LETTING DOWN DONALD TRUMP, WHO HAD GERMAN. NOW, RECENT POLLS SHOW THAT KAMALA HARRIS IS NOT GAINING GROUND, BUT NOW SHE IS IN THE LEAD. BUT HARRIS IN THIS KNOW THAT IN ORDER TO REPEAT THAT VICTORY, THEY ARE GOING HAVE TO EXTEND THEIR REACH BEYOND JUST THOSE URBAN CENTERS. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND JUST ATLANTA AND SUBURBAN ATLANTA. THAT IS PART OF THE REASON THEY HAVE SPENT THESE LAST TWO DAYS HERE MAKING THEIR ON THAT BUS TOUR THROUGH RURAL PARTS OF THE STATE. SO THEY HOPING THAT IF THEY CAN KEEP UP THAT STRATEGY, THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE SUCCESS IN THE SUN BELT STATES. >> WHILE TRUMP IS STILL IN A MENTIONED IS OUT THERE HITTING THE RUST BELT AND THEY SHOULD SAY HARRIS IS GOING TO BE HEADING TO THE RUST BELT IN THE COMING DAYS AS WELL AS LABOR DAY ON LABOR DAY TO, BE IN DETROIT AND IN PITTSBURGH. THAT WILL BE HER FIRST APPEARANCE, HER FIRST CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE. THE PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN, MARY BRUCE WITH THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN SELINA WANG WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH ON THIS THURSDAY NIGHT. MOVING ON FOR US, A NEW SYSTEM IS FORMING RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF SEVERE WEATHER IN MIDWEST AS THE SOUTH AND EAST BRACE FOR RECORD TRIPLE DIGIT WITH MORE THAN 17 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS A DOZEN STATES UNDER HEAT ALERTS. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING THE LATEST FOR US. >> MELISSA JADE, THIS RECORD BREAKING AUGUST HEAT WAVE CONTINUES, UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT TO THE END OF THE WEEK SO WE'RE SEEING RECORDS BREAKING TODAY AND IN A LOT OF THESE SAME AREAS, IT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE OVER 100 DEGREES YET AGAIN AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. IT'LL FEEL LIKE 108 IN NASHVILLE, ANOTHER RECORD TOMORROW. IT FEELS LIKE 103 IN LOUISVILLE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS ALL THE WAY INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. FINALLY, BY THE WEEKEND, THIS HEAT WILL BREAK. BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TONIGHT BECAUSE RIDING ALONG THAT HEAT RIDGE JUST NORTH OF WHERE THOSE RECORDS ARE BREAKING, THERE COULD BE MORE SEVERE WEATHER IN PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC TONIGHT. D.C. UP THERE, BALTIMORE UP INTO CENTRAL P.A., NORTHERN VIRGINIA, UNDER A FLOOD WATCH. SO DAMAGING WINDS FLASH FLOODING, THE THREAT THERE. BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THIS NEW FRONT WE'RE TRACKING. THIS IS THE FRONT THAT COULD BRING SEVERE WEATHER TO PARTS OF THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. TONIGHT, AN ENHANCED RISK FOR THE TWIN CITIES. MINNEAPOLIS RIGHT IN THE BULL'S EYE THERE FOR DAMAGING WINDS. IT ALL MOVES EAST. GREAT LAKES, CHICAGO INCLUDED, UP THROUGH DETROIT. THAT'S FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AND THEN WE HEAD INTO THE NORTHEAST TO KICK OFF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND ON SATURDAY . PLACES LIKE PITTSBURGH UP THROUGH WESTERN NEW YORK COULD SEE THOSE STRONG STORMS BEHIND THIS FRONT. THANKFULLY, THAT WILL BREAK ALL THE HEAT IN THE EAST. COOLER IN STORE FOR LABOR DAY. >> J MEL GRIFFITH FOR, US. MEL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TURNING NOW TO A NEW BOMBSHELL REPORT ABOUT, THE FBI AND HOW IT ALLEGEDLY DEALT WITH CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE CASES. PROBE BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S INSPECTOR GENERAL SUGGESTS THAT THE FBI MISHANDLED DOZENS OF TIPS IN CASES OF ABUSE, INCLUDING NOT FOLLOWING UP ON LEADS, NOT REFERRING THE CASES TO LOCAL AND STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT OR IN SOME CASES VIOLATING FBI POLICIES ON HOW THESE SENSITIVE CASES SHOULD BE HANDLED. THIS COMES EVEN AFTER THE AGENCY PROMISED TO REFORM THE WAKE OF ITS BOTCHED HANDLING OF THE SEXUAL ABUSE BY FORMER USA GYMNASTICS TEAM DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR. SEVERAL OLYMPIC ATHLETES, SIMONE BILES AND ALI REISMAN, WERE AMONG THOSE WHO TESTIFIED ,IN A SENATE HEARING IN 2024 DETAILING THE ABUSE THEY SUFFERED THE HANDS OF THAT DISGRACED TEAM DOCTOR. IN AN APRIL 20, 20 FOR A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SETTLEMENT OVER THE FBI'S FAILURES PAID OVER 180 $38 MILLION TO VICTIMS OF NASA'S SEXUAL ABUSE. JOINING TO BREAK ALL THIS DOWN IS ABC'S JUSTICE REPORTER ALEX MALLIN. ALEX, WELCOME. I WANT TO PULL SOMETHING UP FROM YOUR REPORTING THAT STRUCK ME. IT'S THAT THE OIG FOUND THAT IN 47% OF THE INCIDENTS THEY REVIEWED, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT FBI EMPLOYEES COMPILED, COMPLIED RATHER WITH THE MANDATORY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY HAD. THERE'S THE GRAPHIC FOR YOU. THE SCREEN I WANTED TO SHOW YOU. AND IN 50% OF CASES, THERE NO EVIDENCE FOUND THAT THE ALLEGATIONS WERE REPORTED TO SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES. >> HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? AND IS THE FBI RESPONDING TO THIS TONIGHT? >> YEAH, I THINK THAT THAT THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION IN THE WAKE OF THIS AIG REPORT IS HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN IN THE DIRECTOR IN THAT HEARING THAT YOU MENTIONED, THAT SEARING HEARING WHERE WE HEARD FROM THOSE GYMNASTS, HE DID PROMISE THEM DIRECTLY AFTER APOLOGIZING TO THEM THAT HE WOULD DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. BUT WHAT THIS IG REPORT REVEALS IS THAT IN THAT 16 MONTH PERIOD AFTER THAT HEARING, AFTER THAT REPORT WAS RELEASED, THAT THE IG REVIEWED ABOUT 327 DIFFERENT INCIDENTS WHERE SEXUAL ABUSE WAS REPORTED TO THE FBI. >> AND IN 42 OF THOSE INCIDENTS ,THAT'S 13%. THEY FOUND THAT THEY HAD TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE FBI BACK TO THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD INADEQUATE, INADEQUATELY INVESTIGATED. IT'S SO BADLY THAT THEY BASICALLY NEEDED TO GO REVISIT TO MAKE SURE THOSE CHILDREN SAFE. >> SO, ALEX, THE FBI AS WE NOTED, CREATED THESE SYSTEMS IN PLACE AFTER, THE LARRY NASSAR SCANDAL, BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDER SUCH INTENSE SCRUTINY. WHAT DID THIS REPORT SAY ABOUT HOW THE FBI FOLLOWED OR FRANKLY, DID NOT FOLLOW THOSE PROCEDURES THAT THEY PUT IN PLACE IN THE WAKE OF HOW THEY HANDLED THE LARRY NASSAR CASE? WELL I MEAN, THE FBI WOULD SAY THAT IT SHOWS THAT THEY ACTUALLY DID IT ON A BROAD SCALE DID FOLLOW THOSE POLICIES. BUT OBVIOUSLY, THAT 12, 13% NUMBER IS EXTREMELY ALARMING BECAUSE YOU THINK OF ALL THE POTENTIAL OTHER LARRY NASSAR IS OUT THERE WHO COULD BE VICTIMIZING DOZENS OF CHILDREN. >> ALEX MALLIN THANK YOU. WE WANT TO TAKE YOU RIGHT NOW LIVE TO SAVANNAH, WHERE VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS HOLDING THAT CAMPAIGN EVENT. WE BROUGHT YOU TWO EARLIER. DELIVERING THOSE REMARKS AT THE CONCLUSION OF A BUS TOUR THROUGH RURAL COMMUNITIES IN THAT KEY BATTLEGROUND. YOU SEE THE VICE PRESIDENT THERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS EVENT. AGAIN, THIS WAS A BUS TOUR THAT SHE HAD WITH HER AND TIM WALZ, AND IT WENT THROUGH TRADITIONALLY RED AREAS OF GEORGIA, THAT KEY SWING STATE. HERE'S THE VICE PRESIDENT IN THE OH, IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK IN SAVANNAH. CAN WE PLEASE HEAR FROM CAITLIN AND VERY PROUD OF THE LEADERSHIP. LOOK, WHEN I LOOK AT OUR YOUNG LADIES LIKE CAITLIN, I KNOW OUR FUTURE IS SO BRIGHT. >> IT IS SO BRIGHT. I WANT TO THANK MAYOR JOHNSON. THANK. WE'VE BEEN OUT FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS. MAYOR, I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU. CONGRESSWOMAN KIMA WILLIAMS, THE CHAIR OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF GEORGIA. AND TO ALL THE LEADERS WITH US TODAY, GOOD. GOOD AFTERNOON. I ALSO GREETINGS FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND A GREAT FRIEND OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, JOE BIDEN. AND LET US ALSO SEND OUR LOVE TO THE GREAT FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA. JIMMY CARTER. SO, GEORGIA, I LOVE YOU BACK AND WELCOME BACK. AND WE HAVE 68 DAYS TO GO UNTIL THIS ELECTION. 68 DAYS TO GO. AND I THINK YOU ALL HAVE SPENT YOUR TIME HERE, SACRIFICING ALL YOUR OTHER OBLIGATIONS TO BE HERE TOGETHER, US AS ONE COMMUNITY, KNOWING WE ALL HAVE SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON THAN WHAT SEPARATES. >> AND I THANK YOU FOR TAKING AND LISTENING. SO WE'RE HERE TO SPEAK TRUTH AND OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE A TIGHT RACE UNTIL THE VERY. AND SO LET'S NOT PLAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE POLLS BECAUSE WE ARE RUNNING AS THE UNDERDOG THEN AND WE HAVE SOME HARD AHEAD OF US. BUT WE LIKE HARD WORK. HARD WORK GOOD WORK HARD WORKING HARD WORK. AND WITH YOUR WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS NOVEMBER. YES, WE WILL TELL LOVEJOY. BUT LET ME SAY, I'M NO STRANGER TO TOUGH FIGHTS. BEFORE I WAS ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT, BEFORE I WAS ELECTED A UNITED STATES SENATOR, I WAS AN ELECTED ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND BEFORE THAT AN ELECTED DISTRICT ATTORNEY. AND BEFORE THAT, I WAS A COURTROOM PROSECUTOR. SO EVERY IN THE COURTROOM, I STOOD PROUDLY BEFORE A JUDGE, AND I SPOKE FIVE WORDS. KAMALA HARRIS FOR THE PEOPLE MY ENTIRE CAREER, I'VE ONLY HAD ONE CLIENT, THE PEOPLE I STOOD FOR, WOMEN, CHILDREN AGAINST PREDATORS WHO ABUSED THEM. I TOOK ON THE BIG BANKS AND DELIVERED $20 BILLION FOR MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES WHO FACED FORECLOSURE. I FOUGHT AGAINST WHO TRAFFICKING GUNS, DRUGS AND HUMAN BEINGS. AND I STOOD UP FOR VETERANS AND STUDENTS BEING SCAMMED BY BIG FOR PROFIT COLLEGES, FOR WORKERS WHO WERE BEING CHEATED OUT OF THE WAGES THEY WERE DUE. AND FOR SAME YEARS FACING ELDER ABUSE. AND I WILL TELL YOU, THOSE FIGHTS WERE NOT EASY. AND WERE THE ELECTIONS THAT PUT ME IN THOSE OFFICES. BUT WE NEVER GAVE UP BECAUSE THE FUTURE IS ALWAYS WORTH FIGHTING FOR. OUR. AND THAT IS THE FIGHT WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW. FIGHT FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE. WE WE FIGHT FOR A FUTURE WITH AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE, PAID LEAVE AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE AND THAT LAST SUBJECT, LET'S FINALLY EXPAND MEDICAID IN GEORGIA SO PEOPLE CAN TAKE THEIR JOBS. A DOCTOR OR GO TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT GOING INTO DEBT. WE WE FIGHT FOR OUR FUTURE WHERE WE BUILD WHAT, I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. SO THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A HOME, TO START A AND TO BUILD WEALTH AND INTERGENERATIONAL WEALTH AND A FUTURE WHERE WE LOWER THE COST OF FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES . SO WHEN I WAS ATTORNEY GENERAL, I WENT AFTER PRICE FIXING SCHEMES AND LET ME BACK I LOVE YOU BACK. AND I WILL TELL YOU, WHEN WE THIS DONE TOGETHER, MY FRIEND AND I AM PRESIDENT, I WILL TAKE ON THE BAD ACTORS WHO EXPLOIT CRISIS. YOU CAN EITHER CAN RIP OFF CONSUMERS EVERYDAY ITEMS LIKE GROCERIES. I WILL TAKE ON BIG PHARMA AND CAP THE COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND INSULIN FOR ALL AMERICANS. I WILL TAKE ON THE HIGH OF HOUSING AND WORK WITH DEVELOPERS TO CUT THE TAPE AND BUILD MILLIONS OF NEW HOMES . AND I WILL GIVE 100 MILLION AMERICAN KIDS A TAX CUT, INCLUDING $6,000 TO FAMILIES DURING FIRST YEAR OF THEIR CHILD'S LIFE. AND UNDERSTANDING FOLKS JUST NEED A LITTLE HELP TIME TO TIME. AND IT'S NOT ABOUT JUST GETTING BY. IT'S ABOUT GIVING. I HAD $6,000 IN THE FIRST YEAR OF A CHILD'S LIFE TO HELP PAY FOR THAT CAR SEAT OR THE CRIB OR THE BABY CLOTHES. AND UNLIKE DONALD TRUMP, I WILL ALWAYS PUT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING CLASS FAMILIES FIRST. ALWAYS, I COME FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS, KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, AND THE BANNER SO WELL, WE GOT SOME WORK TO DO. OKAY, WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO BECAUSE WE KNOW DONALD HAS A VERY DIFFERENT PLAN. HE HAS A VERY DIFFERENT PLAN. JUST LOOK AT HIS PROJECT. 2025 AGENDA, RIGHT? IF HE IS ELECTED, DONALD TRUMP INTENDS TO GIVE TAX BREAKS, BILLIONAIRES AND BIG CORPORATIONS. HE INTENDS HE INTENDS TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE. AND HE WANTS TO IMPOSE WHAT, IN EFFECT IS A NATIONAL SALES TAX ON EVERYDAY AND BASIC NECESSITIES. AND IT WILL COST THE ECONOMISTS WILL TELL YOU IT WILL COST A TYPICAL AMERICAN FAMILY NEARLY $4,000 A YEAR. SO, GEORGIA, ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS, IF DONALD TRUMP WINS IN NOVEMBER, HE INTENDS TO END THE AFFORDABLE CARE TO TAKE US BACK TO A TIME WHEN INSURANCE COMPANIES WERE NOT GOING BACK, ARE NOT OUR. AND THE REASON WE KNOW WE CAN'T GO BACK TO YOUR POINT, THE REASON KNOW WE CAN'T GO BACK ON THE ISSUE OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS LIKE BEFORE WE HAD THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. REMEMBER WHEN INSURANCE COMPANIES HAD THE POWER TO DENY PEOPLE WITH PREEXISTING CONDITIONS? REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS LIKE? CHILDREN WITH ASTHMA, SURVIVORS, GRANDPARENTS WITH DIABETES. SO, YEAH, WE'RE NOT BACK ANYWAY. BY AND WE WILL MOVE FORWARD. OURS IS A FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE AND IT IS A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM LIKE THE FREEDOM OF A WOMAN TO MAKE DECISIONS HER OWN BODY AND NOT HAVE GOVERNMENT TELL HER TO DO AND UNDERSTAND HOW WE GOT HERE. WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HANDPICKED THREE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT WITH THE INTENTION THAT THEY WOULD UNDO THE PROTECTIONS OF ROE V WADE, AND THEY JUST AS HE INTENDED. AND THAT PLAN 20 STATES HAVE A TRUMP ABORTION WITH THE INTENTION THAT WOULD UNDO THE PROTECTIONS OF ROE V WADE. AND THEY DID AS HE INTENDED. AND NOW MORE THAN 20 STATES HAVE A TRUMP ABORTION BAN, INCLUDING GEORGIA. >> ALL RIGHT. SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THERE AT THAT. HARRIS IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. AND WE WANT TO BRING IN ABC'S MARYALICE PARKS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS, TO BREAK DOWN A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT SAID. MARYALICE. BASED ON MY RECOLLECTION, ON SOME OF THE NOTES, I TOOK A FEW THINGS STUCK OUT TO ME. ONE, SHE CONTINUED THAT FRAMING WE HEARD AT THE DNC SAYING THAT THIS IS A QUOTE FIGHT FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE. >> SHE SAID THAT A LOT, BUT ALSO SHE MADE A POINT TO SAY TO SUPPORTERS IN THAT ROOM THAT HER THAT SHE AND TIM WALZ ARE, QUOTE, RUNNING AS THE UNDERDOG AND TOLD SUPPORTERS THERE NOT TO LOOK AT THE POLLS WHICH SHOW SURGING, CERTAINLY SHOW HER IN A MUCH BETTER POSITION THAN JOE BIDEN WAS. CAN SHE KEEP UP THAT MOMENTUM AND SELL THAT IDEA TO DEMOCRATS THAT SHE IS AN UNDERDOG, THAT THEY SHOULDN'T GET COMPLACENT AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT SHE'S SEEING SOME POSITIVE POLL NUMBERS? >> YES, ESPECIALLY INTERESTING IN GEORGIA, RIGHT, JAY? WE SAW OVERNIGHT FOX NEWS POLL THAT SHOWED HER ACTUALLY AHEAD OF TRUMP IN GEORGIA MONTHS. TRUMP WAS ENJOYING A PRETTY SIZABLE MARGIN THERE WHEN BIDEN WAS THE TOP OF THE TICKET. THEN AFTER THAT SWITCH FROM THE PARTY, WE SAW THE POLLS IN GEORGIA NARROWING AND NOW THE LATEST POLL SHOWING HER EVEN POTENTIALLY AHEAD. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A CONCERN OF DEMOCRATS. THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE GETTING COMPLACENT IN THE FINAL STRETCH. YOU HER SAY THAT WE ARE WE HAVE TO BE IN IT TO WORK HARD UNTIL THE END. INTERESTING, TOO. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE REACTION SHE GOT THERE FROM THE CROWD ON THE TOPIC OF ABORTION JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE WE HAVE SEEN THE SPLIT SCREEN TODAY WHERE TRUMP IS CAMPAIGNING IN MICHIGAN AND HE WAS SAYING HE THINKS THE ISSUE OF ABORTION IS OVERBLOWN. HE WAS SAYING IT'S IN THE STATES. IT'S UP TO THE STATES THAT THIS THAT THAT ALL OF AND THE PRESS ARE MAKING TOO MUCH OUT OF THIS AS A CAMPAIGN ISSUE . BUT, WOW, YOU COULD HEAR IT THERE EVEN IN GEORGIA WHEN SHE UP THE ISSUE OF ABORTION, HOW SHE WANTED TO FIGHT TO RESTORE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, ACCESS TO ABORTION ACROSS THE COUNTRY. YOU HEARD THAT CROWD WITH IN A BIG WAY. I THINK THAT THAT THAT THAT THE TRUMP MIGHT BE IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE RICH FOR TRUMP TO BE SAYING THAT THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT IS OVERBLOWN SEEING IN THE POLLS. >> AND AGAIN, IN THAT CROWD, ONE OF THE THING THAT STUCK OUT TO ME, IT WAS INTERESTING WHEN SHE TALKED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT SHE THOUGHT THAT GEORGIA SHOULD FINALLY EXPAND MEDICAID. THIS MIGHT BE REALLY SORT OF WONKY HERE, BUT GEORGIA IS ONE OF ONLY TEN STATES IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAS NOT EXPANDED MEDICAID. AND WE KNOW THAT HARRIS HAS BEEN GETTING A HARD LATELY FROM REPUBLICANS FOR WHAT THEY SAY IS SORT OF A FLIP FLOP ON OF HERS AROUND WHETHER SHE WOULD BACK MEDICARE FOR ALL, FOR EXAMPLE, SHE SUPPORTED THAT BACK IN 2019 WHEN SHE RAN FOR PRESIDENT. OBVIOUSLY, DEMOCRATS WERE ALL TALKING ABOUT THAT BACK THEN. SHE SAID THAT SHE YOU KNOW, SHE WASN'T FOR THAT ANYMORE. BUT IT'LL BE INTERESTING IF THIS IS HOW SHE SORT OF COUNTERS THAT THAT CRITICISM IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS. IF SHE TALKS ABOUT MEDICAID EXPANSION INSTEAD, A WAY OF BASICALLY SAYING SHE'S FOR MORE HEALTH CARE ACCESS, MORE GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE ACCESS, BUT NOT MEDICARE FOR ALL LIKE SHE PITCHED BACK IN 2019. >> MARYALICE FOR US. MARYALICE THANK YOU. HARRIS STILL SPEAKING AT THAT EVENT IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. A QUICK BREAK FOR US. MORE NEWS ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHENEVER NEWS WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR ENROLLING FOR THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS TOWN FROM LEWISTON, MAINE.

PEOPLE WERE JUST HANGING THAT STUFF ON MY HOW HOW. >> IT WAS A WILD TIME AND I WAS A WILD CHICK. AND JASON MOMOA EXPLODED. HARMON WAS BOMBSHELL. >> ANDERSON WAS AN ICON. PAMELA WAS, THE SWEET GIRL FROM CANADA WHO CAME TO GET AMERICAN DREAM, REALLY PROUD OF EVERYTHING I'VE DONE ALMOST . >> "BAYWATCH" WAS A WHIRLWIND OF EPIC HIGHS AND, THEIR LOWS AND A LOT OF PRESSURE. EVERYBODY WAS DISPOSABLE. AND IF YOU DIDN'T INTO THEIR BRAND, YOU WERE GONE, CREATED, LOST, FAME, LIKES TO WATCH SEXY THINGS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.

IT HAPPENED TO HER. HE SEVERAL SUSPECTS, ALL THESE KINDS OF LEADS. NO ONE SERIAL KILLER IN YOUR AREA. COULD HE BE INVOLVED OR ACTUALLY FINDING KEY EVIDENCE THAT COULD HAVE SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS? >> HER LAST HOURS ON THIS EARTH WERE HORRIFIC THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL. POLICE WILL FIND WHAT HAPPENED AT WIT'S END. THE HUNT FOR A KILLER ONLY HULU. THEY BOTH WANT TO BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. NOW, FINALLY DONALD TRUMP. WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN. KAMALA HARRIS. WE PROMISED AMERICA FACE TO FACE HISTORIC THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS LIVE CREW AND DISNEY. >> PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE DEBATE. I'M JAY O'BRIEN IN WASHINGTON. AND TODAY'S BIG STORY, EIGHT DAYS OUT FROM THE ELECTION. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN BATTLEGROUND STATES WRAPPING UP HARRIS WRAPPING UP A BUS TOUR THROUGH SOME GOP CONTROLLED AREAS OF GEORGIA. MEANTIME, ALL OF THIS AS ANTICIPATION BUILDS FOR HER FIRST TELEVISED INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT A REPUBLICAN IN HER CABINET AMID CRITICISM FROM REPUBLICANS THAT SHE HASN'T YET FACED HARD QUESTIONS. AND IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, A SCATHING DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WATCHDOG REPORT SAYING THAT THE FBI CONTINUED TO MISHANDLED CHILD CLAIMS IN THE WAKE OF THAT LARRY NASSAR PROBE. WHAT THE REPORT SAYS ABOUT THE AGENCY'S MISSTEPS? BUT WE DO BEGIN WITH THE RACE FOR WHITE HOUSE. THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES. SIX DAYS OUT FROM ELECTION. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HITTING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TODAY IN A BATTLEGROUND STATE BLITZ. HARRIS RALLY IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WRAPPING UP A BUS TOUR THAT TOOK HER TO SOME DEEP RED PARTS, THAT KEY STATE. HER RUNNING MATE, MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ, HE'S MEANWHILE HOLDING EVENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT AFTER JOINING HARRIS IN THAT TOUR. ALL OF IT IS AN EFFORT TO SHORE UP SUPPORT WITH BLACK VOTERS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE SOMETIMES OVERLOOKED IN STATE. AND TONIGHT, BOTH HARRIS AND WALZ WILL SIT DOWN FOR THEIR MAJOR TELEVISION INTERVIEW WITH CNN. SINCE HARRIS LAUNCHED HER PRESIDENTIAL BID. MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PUSHING AHEAD WITH HIS SWING STATE TOUR, INCREASING HIS CAMPAIGN'S TEMPO IN RECENT WEEKS HITTING VARIOUS BATTLEGROUND STATES, MEETING WITH VOTERS AT A CAMPAIGN HALL IN WISCONSIN AND THEN IN MICHIGAN, WHERE HE SPOKE ABOUT THE ECONOMY. >> TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID. IF SHE ONLY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE BECAUSE THE PAST HAS BEEN SO JOB THEY'VE DONE, LET ME TELL YOU. HE'S THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY AND SHE'S THE WORST VICE PRESIDENT AND SHE'S THE WORST BORDERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. ALL RIGHT. TO TALK ABOUT ALL THIS, I WANT TO BRING IN ABC NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS JOINING ME HERE. MARYALICE, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH US EARLIER AND OUR EARLIER COVERAGE AS WELL AROUND THAT HARRIS EVENT. I WANT TO PICK UP WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS HERE. AND I WANT TO START WITH THIS CNN INTERVIEW. SHE'S FLAK FROM REPUBLICANS SAYING WHY IS SHE HOLDING THIS INTERVIEW SOMEWHAT, YOU KNOW, A FEW WEEKS INTO HER TENURE AS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE? >> HOW IS THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN RESPONDING TO THAT? THEY'VE SAID ALL ALONG SHE'S GOING TO SIT FOR INTERVIEW, THAT THAT WAS OVERBLOWN. A LOT'S BEEN GOING ON. BUT I THINK THAT WAS FAIR CRITICISM. I MEAN, THE REALITY IS A LOT HAS GONE ON IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THIS THIS WHIRLWIND. SHE DIDN'T GO THROUGH A REGULAR PRIMARY THIS UNPRECEDENTED WELL, NOT UNPRECEDENTED, BUT HUGELY HISTORIC DECISION FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN TO STEP ASIDE. THERE WERE SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR HER TO ANSWER. AND OBVIOUSLY HOW HOW SHE WANTS TO SORT OF PITCH HERSELF AND HER POLICY POSITIONS, YOU KNOW, BOTH HER BUT ALSO TRUMP HAVE BEEN LIGHT ON POLICY. WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THAT AS SHE HAS TO TALK ABOUT HOW SHE'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT, IF AT ALL, FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN. SO THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS ASK HER. AND I THINK THAT EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE WATCHING THIS INTERVIEW TONIGHT. SO I A FEW A WEEK OR SO BACK IN GEORGIA, I WAS TALKING TO RURAL VOTERS AND I WAS TALKING TO RURAL DEMOCRATS. AND I KEPT ASKING THEM, HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU? AND THEY SAY THEY'RE VERY THEY REALLY BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN MAKE GAINS, ESPECIALLY WITH WALZ. THEY THINK THAT RURAL VOTERS IDENTIFY WITH TIM WALZ. YOU HAVE AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF DEMOCRATIC SOURCES. WE KNOW THERE'S BEEN THIS BUS TOUR. WE KNOW THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN IS LOOKING ATTRACTING RURAL VOTERS. BUT BEHIND THE SCENES, HOW CONFIDENT ARE DEMOCRATS THAT THEY CAN REALLY PULL THIS OFF? BECAUSE SOME OF THESE COUNTIES ARE DEEPLY THEY'RE TRUMP COUNTRY THAT THEY CAN PULL OF RURAL GEORGIA? NO, I WOULDN'T SAY DEMOCRATS FEEL CONFIDENT. I THINK THEY FEEL ENCOURAGED. OPTIMISTIC. INTERESTING THAT DEMOCRATS ARE BOASTING OF OVER 30,000 NEW VOLUNTEERS TO THE CAMPAIGN SINCE SHE TOOK OVER THE TOP OF THE TICKET. THAT'S JUST. THEY HAVE MORE MONEY THERE THAN THEY CAN SPEND RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE HIRING. THEY'RE OPENING FIELD OFFICES AROUND THE STATE. I THINK THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD SHOT. THEY OBVIOUSLY LIKE WHAT THEY'RE SEEING. THEY LIKE THE ENTHUSIASM, LIKE THEY LIKE THE MOVEMENT IN THE POLLS. BUT LOOK, THE REALITY IS THAT TRUMP WAS ENJOYING A PRETTY BIG LEAD THERE FOR MONTHS. INTERESTING, TOO, THOUGH, THIS UNIQUE PLAY THEY'RE MAKING TO REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE. OF WE SAW IN CHICAGO, THE FORMER THE REPUBLICAN FORMER GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA GETTING SPEAKING TIME THERE ON STAGE AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. HE SPOKE DIRECTLY TO GEORGIA AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE PATRIOTIC SORT OF DUTY HE THOUGHT TO VOTE FOR HARRIS INSTEAD. INTERESTING SORT OF MESSAGING THERE IN GEORGIA. AND HARRIS TODAY IN THAT CNN INTERVIEW SAYING THAT SHE WOULD APPOINT A REPUBLICAN TO HER CABINET. SPEAKING OF REPUBLICANS, I WANT TO TURN QUICKLY TO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HERE. TRUMP HAS BEEN ON THE TRAIL. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HIS INCREASED CAMPAIGN TEMPO HERE? HE USED TO HOLD MAYBE ONE OR SO EVENT A WEEK. NOW, IN SOME CASES, HE'S HOLDING MULTIPLE EVENTS IN THE SAME DAY LIKE TODAY. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? HE'S ALSO LOOKING AT POLLS THAT ARE TIGHTENING. HE'S ALSO LOOKING AT HEADLINES THAT SHOW A LOT OF MOMENTUM AND ENERGY FOR HARRIS. I MEAN, SOME OF THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE CASE, RIGHT? A LOT OF VOTERS TALK ABOUT HOW THEY DON'T EVEN BARELY TUNE IN UNTIL LABOR DAY, AND THAT'S THIS WEEKEND. SO I THINK THAT INCREASED SORT OF TEMPO WAS TO BE EXPECTED. BUT NO DOUBT, THE TRUMP TEAM KNOWS THAT THEY THEY NEED TO SORT OF PICK UP THE PACE AND. OF COURSE. INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE HE IS SPENDING HIS TIME, LIKE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN THOSE CRUCIAL RUST BELT STATEERE, MICHIGAN. WE'RE GOING TO SEE HIM A LOT IN PENNSYLVANIA. INTERESTING, OF COURSE, AS THEY LEAN INTO VANCE'S OWN BIOGRAPHY HIMSELF, GROWING UP IN SMALL TOWN AMERICA, TALKING ABOUT SORT OF RUST BELT VALUES. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE BOTH CAMPAIGNS REALLY CONVERGING, THOSE FEW CRUCIAL STATES THERE IN THE MIDWEST THAT WE BOTH KNOW COULD DECIDE WHOLE RACE. >> SOMEONE THAT'S BEEN DIALED INTO 2024 POLITICS WELL BEFORE LABOR DAY. MARYALICE PARKS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS THURSDAY NIGHT. I WANT TO BRING IN OUR BIG STORY PANEL NOW. JOINING TO BREAK ALL OF THIS DOWN IS ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST, MIKE MYERS, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST AND CO-FOUNDER OF LIFT OUR VOICES. JULIEROGINSKY AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND EDITOR AT THE NATIONAL REVIEW, RAMESH PONNURU. WELCOME IN ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JULIE. I DO WANT TO START WITH YOU AND I WANT TO PICK UP ON SOMETHING MARYALICE, WHICH IS IN YOUR VIEW, WAS IT A MISTAKE FOR THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN TO WAIT THIS LONG, TO GIVE THAT INTERVIEW AND KIND OPEN UP THIS LINE OF ATTACK THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE USED? I DO NOW BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS HAVE OPENED UP A LINE OF ATTACK THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND SOMETHING TO CRITICIZE REGARDLESS. BUT BECAUSE IT'S PUT THE ONUS ON THIS INTERVIEW MADE IT MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN IT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE. I THINK AS SOMEBODY WHO'S WHO'S RUN A BUNCH OF CAMPAIGNS IN MY LIFE, INTERVIEWS ARE ALWAYS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET YOUR MESSAGE OUT, NO MATTER HOW CONTENTIOUS THE INTERVIEW, IF YOU AND YOU'RE GOOD AT IT, WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO IS THEN TURN IT AROUND AND USE IT FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT TO GET THE MESSAGE THAT YOU WANT OUT THERE. OUT TO THE VOTERS WHO MATTER. AND SO I THINK SHE'S USING THIS OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE USED THE OPPORTUNITIES ALL ALONG TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. YOU KNOW, I DONALD TRUMP ARE A LOT OF THINGS, BUT I DON'T CRITICIZE HIM FOR THE FACT THAT HE HAS SAT DOWN WITH MOSTLY FRIENDLY MEDIA OVER THE COURSE OF ALL THESE MANY YEARS TO TALK TO HIS BASE ABOUT THE ISSUES HE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE MEDIA ASKING HIM TO DO. >> SHE SHOULD BE DOING THE SAME THING, I THINK. MIKE AND I WERE BOTH AT THE DNC AND ONE OF THE THINGS I HEARD FROM DEMOCRATS THERE AT THE CONVENTION, THIS CONCERN ABOUT UNFORCED ERRORS BY THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN, ABOUT MESSING UP ABOUT KIND OF MAYBE TRYING TO RUIN THEIR MOMENTUM. YOU THINK WAITING SO LONG TO DO AN INTERVIEW HAS DONE THAT, DO YOU? I WOULDN'T SAY NECESSARILY. JULIE FULLY SUBSCRIBES TO THIS OPINION, BUT KIND OF ARE YOU IN THAT CAMP WHERE SHE IS THINKING THAT THIS MIGHT BE A MISTAKE? >> NO, I DON'T THINK IT'S A MISTAKE AT ALL. I THINK HER BASE WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND ALSO TO THINK INDEPENDENT VOTERS RECOGNIZE HOW DIFFICULT OF A POSITION THAT SHE IS IN AND HISTORIC NATURE AND THAT IN LESS THAN 110 DAYS, SHE WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE THE TOP OF THE TICKET. WITHIN 100 DAYS REMAINING WAS HER DNC CONVENTION. I THINK AMERICANS UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT SHE HAD TO RAMP UP A CAMPAIGN. SHE HAD TO REPOSITION THE CAMPAIGN STAFF, THAT SHE HAD TO BUILD UP THE APPARATUS OF FUNDRAISING FIGURE WHAT HER MESSAGE IS, FIGURE OUT HOW TO SEPARATE HER POSITIONS FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN'S POSITIONS WHILE SHARING THE SAME SENTIMENT BY DOING TOO MUCH OF A DEPARTURE, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO FIGURE HOW TO CAPTURE THE MOMENTUM. I THINK THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME IN TERMS OF LOGISTICS AND ALSO TO LOGIC. THAT IS NOW IS THE TIME FOR HER TO DO INTERVIEWS. AND SO IF SHE DOESN'T DO MORE INTERVIEWS GOING FORWARD, THEN I THINK IT WILL BE A FAIR CRITICISM. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THE OF THIS IS WARRANTED FOR A FAIR CRITIQUE. >> RAMESH, THINK BACK TO LIKE A FEW WEEKS WHERE TRUMP HOW THERE'S THIS ONE WEEK THAT STICKS IN MY MIND. HE HELD THIS LIKE ONE EVENT FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK AND I THINK IT WAS IN NEBRASKA OR MONTANA OR ONE OF THOSE KIND OF LIKE I THINK IT WAS IN NEBRASKA AND OR NO, IT WAS IN MONTANA. EXCUSE ME, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. POINT BEING IS, HE HELD ONE EVENT IN A WEEK AND NOW HE'S HOLDING MULTIPLE EVENTS THE SAME DAY. AND THERE'S BEEN THIS KIND OF KNOCK ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN CREATED BY THIS NEW TEMPO SAYING THAT HE KNOWS THAT HE'S EITHER RUNNING BEHIND OR HE THINKS HE MIGHT BE LOSING. DO YOU TAKE THAT FROM THIS NEWLY, YOU KNOW, INCREASED TEMPO OF A CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE? >> WELL, I THINK THAT IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE TEMPO TO INCREASE, AS YOU CLOSER TO VOTING SEASON. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT THERE WAS SOME COMPLACENCY ON THE PART OF TRUMP EARLIER IN THE SUMMER WHEN HE SEEMED TO BE UP AGAINST BIDEN. HE WAS LEADING AND IN SOME WAYS PULLING AWAY. AND THAT COMPLACENCY, I THINK, HAS NOW BEEN SHATTERED. AND SO I DO THINK THAT THAT IS PART OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE AS WELL. >> DO YOU THINK THAT THAT COULD EXPOSE, THOUGH, SOME OF MORE BASE INSTINCTS WHEN HE FEELS LIKE HE'S BEHIND SOMETIMES, HE LASHES OUT AND MAYBE THAT DOESN'T APPEAL TO SOME MODERATES AND INDEPENDENTS VERY QUICKLY? WELL, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THAT THERE ARE TWO CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH HE LASHES OUT. ONE IS, AS YOU SAY, HE FEELS THAT HE'S BEHIND, BUT THE OTHER IS WHEN HE FEELS HE'S ON TOP AND HE'S OVERCONFIDENT. SO I'M NOT SURE THAT IT'S IT'S GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I THINK THAT THERE IS A BASIC CHARACTER OF TO DONALD TRUMP THAT HAS BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT. AND I THINK WE HAVE SEEN IT EVERY DAY SINCE HE JOINED THE NATIONAL POLITICAL STAGE AND EVEN BEFORE THEN. >> MIKE, JULIE, RAMESH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. >> NOW, THAT'S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. >> IN OUR SPOTLIGHT TONIGHT, A NEW BOMBSHELL REPORT, THE FBI AND HOW IT ALLEGEDLY DEALT WITH REPORTS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. A PROBE BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S INSPECTOR GENERAL. SUGGESTS THE FBI MISHANDLED DOZENS OF TIPS IN CASES OF ABUSE, INCLUDING NOT FOLLOWING UP ON LEADS NOT, REFERRING THE CASES TO STATE OR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OR IN SOME CASES, VIOLATING CLEAR FBI POLICIES ON HOW THEY CASES SHOULD BE HANDLED. THIS COMES EVEN AFTER THE AGENCY PROMISED REFORM IN THE WAKE OF THE BOTCHED HANDLING OF THE ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS. FORMER USA OLYMPIAN OLYMPICS GYMNASTICS TEAM DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR. THIS INVESTIGATION FOUND THIS INVESTIGATION LAUNCHED FOR SEVERAL OLYMPIC ATHLETES, INCLUDING SIMONE BILES AND ALY RAISMAN WERE THOSE WHO TESTIFIED IN A SENATE HEARING IN 2021 DETAILING THE ABUSE THEY SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THE DISGRACED DOCTOR IN APRIL 2024. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SETTLEMENT OVER. THE FBI'S FAILURES PAID OVER $138 MILLION TO VICTIMS OF NASSER'S ABUSE. I WANT TO BRING BACK OUR PANEL HERE. AND JOINING US ALSO IS ABC NEWS JUSTICE REPORTER ALEX MALLIN, ALONG WITH, OF COURSE MY JULIE AND RAMESH. ALEX, WELCOME AND I DO WANT TO START WITH YOU. WHAT STOOD OUT TO YOU FROM THIS REPORT? WHAT EXACTLY DID THEY FIND AND HOW DID ALL THIS GO WRONG, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THOSE FINDINGS AFTER THAT? NASSAR. >> YEAH, I MEAN, JAY, YOU REMEMBER THAT CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY FROM THE OLYMPIC ATHLETES. IT WAS SO SEARING. AND YOU HEARD THE FBI DIRECTOR THEIR PROMISE TO THEM AFTER APOLOGIZING TO THEM THAT HE WOULD DO EVERYTHING IN, HIS POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE AGAIN. HIS TERM AND WHAT WE SAW IS IN THE SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT REPORT RELEASED, THE INSPECTOR GENERAL CONDUCTED AN AUDIT OF ROUGHLY 327 CASES WHERE THE FBI RECEIVED REPORTS OF ABUSE OF CHILDREN. AND IN 42 OF THOSE INCIDENTS THAT THEY SURVEYED THAT'S 13%. THEY SAID IT WAS SO INADEQUATELY INVESTIGATED, THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FBI AND SAY, HEY, THERE ARE CHILDREN THAT. COULD BE POTENTIALLY ENDANGERED HERE BECAUSE YOU SO POORLY INVESTIGATED. THE FBI IS REACTING TO THIS TONIGHT, SAYING BASICALLY THAT THERE'S A LOT OF THIS IS BEING KIND OF OVERSHADOWED BY PAPERWORK ISSUES. THEY'RE ALSO SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A VERY SMALL MINORITY OF CASES. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN. AND YOU THINK ABOUT THE STORIES THAT WE HEARD OF THOSE OLYMPIANS. THERE ARE A LOT OF UNTOLD VOICES NOW IN THIS REPORT THAT WE MAY NOT EVER HEAR FROM ABOUT THE ABUSE THAT THEY SUFFERED. SO IT'S A REALLY SERIOUS ANOTHER BLACK EYE FOR THE FBI AT A REALLY CRUCIAL TIME, A BLACK FOR THE FBI. I WANT TO USE YOUR WORDS AND BRING THEM HERE TO MAKE NEWS. MIKE WHEN YOU SAW THIS BREAK FIRST, WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION? BUT ALSO YOUR VIEW? HOW DOES THE FBI RECOVER FROM THIS IN TERMS OF ITS IMAGE MINUS OPINION? >> I WAS GUTTED, SHOCKED AND APPALLED. THESE ARE CHILDREN THAT WE ARE TALKING. THESE ARE CHILDREN WHO DON'T HAVE AN AGENCY TO COMMUNICATE IN PARTICULARLY REPETITIVE ABUSE. AND ALSO TWO OF THESE ARE MINORS WHO HAD THE BRAVERY TO COME FORWARD. FIRST TIME YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT THEY WILL BE HEARD AND THAT THEY WILL FEEL PROTECTED. OFTENTIMES, THESE THESE THERE'S REPEAT OFTEN. AND SO THE MERE FACT THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS TRAGIC CIRCUMSTANCE AND BEING REVICTIMIZED, SEEKING HELP IS JUST UNFATHOMABLE. BUT I'M SHOCKED THAT, TOO, AS WELL IS THAT AFTER FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY, THERE WAS NO SENSE OF URGENCY, WHICH IS WHY I DON'T QUITE BY THE FBI THAT THEY RELEASED TODAY, THAT THEY'RE BURDENED DOWN BY PAPERWORK. IT LIKE AT THAT TIME AFTER THAT HEARING COMMITTEE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE MORE TO CREATE A SENSE OF URGENCY, TO CREATE A DUE PROCESS THAT ELIMINATED THE RED TAPE THAT HAPPENED AND ALSO TO JAY, I'M ACTUALLY SHOCKED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN MORE INTER COORDINATION BETWEEN LOCAL AUTHORITIES. I THINK THAT IS JUST SUCH A GLARING NEGLIGENCE THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE MORE COMMUNICATION WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO HELP THE CHILDREN WHO ARE SO VULNERABLE AND THE CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATIONS SHOCKED AND APPALLED. >> RAMESH, WE'VE ALREADY SEEN DICK DURBIN, CHAIR OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, CALL FOR DIRECTOR WRAY ANSWER FOR THIS REPORT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN HERE, ALEX NOTED. IF JUST ONE FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS, THAT IS ONE TOO MANY. DO YOU THINK CONGRESSIONAL OR SOME KIND OF FALLOUT FROM THIS REPORT IS REALLY GOING TO MAKE MEANINGFUL CHANGE AT THE FBI? >> WELL, I CERTAINLY HOPE SO AND I DO THINK THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A BIPARTISAN BACKLASH TO THE FBI THAT THAT PEOPLE REALLY ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM ARE GOING TO BE OUTRAGED AND APPALLED BOTH BY THE AIG ACCUSATIONS AND BY DEFENSIVE BUREAUCRATIC RESPONSE THAT IT'S GETTING FROM THE BUREAU, WHICH IS, I THINK NOT AT ALL UP TO THE CHALLENGE THAT HAS BEEN LAID OUT AND DOESN'T REALLY RECKON WITH THE SCALE OF THE FAILURE THAT HAS EXPOSED. JULIE, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ISSUES THAT UNITES DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. DO YOU SEE SOME KIND OF PUSH IN CONGRESS OR ELSE OF THAT NATURE STARTING TO SHAKE THINGS LOOSE HERE? I DO, BUT I HAVE TO SAY WHAT I AM PARTICULARLY SHOCKED, IN ADDITION TO THE FINDINGS IN THIS REPORT, IS HOW HUGE AN UNFORCED ERROR THIS IS FOR CHRIS WRAY. I MEAN, THIS IS AN FBI DIRECTOR PRESIDED OVER AN AGENCY THAT HAS BEEN THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, IN COMPLETELY POLITICIZING, GOING THE FBI AND TO GIVE THEM THIS KIND OF AMMUNITION ON, AN ISSUE THAT REALLY NO DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN CAN EVER SIDE WITH THE FBI ON WHEN CHILDREN ARE BEING IS JUST A HUGE UNFORCED ERROR. IT'S A HUGE MISCALCULATION AT, A TIME WHEN THE AGENCY'S EMBATTLED AND POTENTIALLY FACING AN ADMINISTRATION AND GOING BACK TO DONALD TRUMP THAT WILL TRY TO DISMANTLE THE FBI. SO I UNDERSTAND WHERE CHRIS RAY'S HEAD WAS IN ALL OF THIS AND HOW THIS WAS ALLOWED TO EVEN. >> ALEX MALLIN I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING ON THIS SIR MIKE, JULIE AND RAMESH. STAY WITH US BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO BRING YOU BACK.

POLICE SAY 46-YEAR-OLD STEVE STEPHANIE EBBS SPENT THE NIGHT ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS STUCK ON A 14,000 FOOT PEAK DURING VIOLENT STORM AFTER GETTING LOST WHILE HIKING WITH HIS COWORKERS. THE HIKE WAS ORGANIZED BY THE INSURANCE FIRM HE WORKS FOR AND WAS PART OF AN ANNUAL CHARITY TRIP TO RAISE MONEY FOR WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN. THE COMPANY'S CEO TELLS ABC NEWS THE HIKE IS AN EVENT THEY PARTICIPATED FOR OVER A DECADE, PRAISING THE VOLUNTEER RESCUERS WHO SAVED HIS EMPLOYEES LIFE. I WANT TO BRING IN MY PANEL TO DISCUSS ALL OF THIS. MIKE, JULIE, RAMESH. MIKE, I WANT TO START WITH YOU. THE FLOOR IS YOURS. WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THIS? IS THERE SOMEONE BLAME? >> WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU SAW THIS? I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS TO BLAME, BUT I WOULD NO LONGER TRUST MY TEAM. M.J., I WILL BE UPDATING MY RESUME AS WE SPEAK, AND I'LL BE ASKING FOR A MINIMUM MONTH SABBATICAL WHILE I SEARCH FOR ANOTHER JOB. >> BECAUSE THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE IN TEAM MEETINGS WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS? >> NOT. HOW DID YOU LEAVE ME HANGING ON A MOUNTAIN? I'M. >> YOU WOULD LEAVE ME ON A HIKE, BUT YOU WOULD DO THAT PURPOSEFULLY. AND WE. AND THIS IS NOT PURPOSE. WHY DON'T I WANT TO BE CLEAR, JULIE HE USED HIS CELL PHONE TO DROP A PIN FOR HIS COWORKERS, AND THEY TOLD HIM, AS FAR AS WE UNDERSTAND THAT HE WAS ON THE WRONG ROUTE. AND THEY TOLD HIM TO ESSENTIALLY TAKE ANOTHER ROUTE BACK TO THE SUMMIT, YADA, YADA, YADA. IS THAT TRUE? I DON'T WANT TO HAVE YOU WEIGH IN ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO, BUT HOW WOULD YOU REACT IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE? >> I COULD HIM TO CALL 911 AND GET ME THE HELL OUT OF THERE. I MEAN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IN THE WORLD THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKE, YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT? WHY DON'T YOU HIKE BACK UP TO THE SUMMIT, TRY TO FIND YOUR OWN WAY BACK? OH, BY THE WAY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE MARKERS THAT WE LAID DOWN FOR PEOPLE TO FIND THE PATHWAY DOWN. WHERE TO TAKE THOSE AWAY WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE WAY TO GET DOWN. I MEAN, THIS GUY'S GOT TO GET ANOTHER JOB. I DON'T CARE WHERE HE WORKS. HE'S GOT TO FIND SOME OTHER JOB BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD CONTINUE WORKING FOR YOU LEFT ME STRANDED. RAMESH. RAMESH A HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO FOR YOU. YOU AND I ARE ON A HIKE. I TAKE THE LAW THE WRONG ROUTE, AND I TEXT YOU. I SAY, RAMESH, I'M ON THE WRONG ROUTE. >> YOU'RE IN ANOTHER PLACE. DO YOU SAVE ME? >> I THINK THAT IF WE ARE ON SOME SORT OF HIKING SITUATION WHERE YOU ARE COUNTING ON ME TO HAVE THE SKILL AND FORESIGHT TO RESCUE YOU ARE IN A WORLD OF HURT AND DANGER. >> SO THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE GIVING UP. I DO. MY BEST. >> THIS SOUNDS LIKE LIKE AN ESPECIALLY DARK EPISODE OF THE OFFICE. EVERYBODY HERE HAS BEEN REALLY COMPASSIONATE ABOUT THIS, BUT I HAVE TO CONFESS, MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO THINK THERE MUST BE SOMETHING REALLY TOXIC GOING ON IN THIS WORKFORCE WHERE THIS GUY HAS MADE HIMSELF UNPOPULAR.
