AND FOR NINE YEAR OLD ZACHARY GLANTON JUNIOR, THAT INCLUDES WHEN HE'S IN THE TRENCHES OR WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING MAN, LIKE, WHAT? WORDS FROM YOUR MOM ARE YOU KIND OF HEARING IN YOUR HEAD? >> OH, CHECK THAT QUARTERBACK. >> ZARA'S FAVORITE POSITION TO PLAY IS DEFENSIVE END. AND WHEN HIS MOM, TARIKA, GETS HOME FROM HER JOB AS A SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR. THEY WILL SQUARE UP IN THE YARD OF THEIR FLORIDA HOME AND GET TO WORK. >> I WANT SACKS EVERY DAY, ALL DAY WHEN HE'S IN THE GAME, OF COURSE. >> NOW, TARIK HAS LOVED FOOTBALL SINCE SHE WAS A CHEERLEADER IN HIGH SCHOOL. BUT THIS ALL STARTED WHEN ZAH FIRST JOINED A TEAM AT FIVE YEARS OLD. HE WAS SO EXCITED. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS HE JUST WAS NOT GETTING ANY PLAYTIME. >> I KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. YOU WAS DOWN. THE FIRST THING YOU DID WAS STOOD STRAIGHT UP. NO. >> SO MOM STEPPED IN AND STARTED TRAINING. ZAH HERSELF. WITHIN A YEAR, SHE SAYS, HE BECAME A FULL TIME STARTER ON BOTH OFFENSE AND DEFENSE. FOUR YEARS LATER, AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, SHE IS JUST AS PASSIONATE. IS IT LIKE SORE SACK THAT QUARTERBACK? YEP LADDER. >> AND THAT. >> NOT TO MENTION IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS THEIR WORKOUT VIDEOS HAVE EXPLODED ONLINE, GATHERING MILLIONS OF VIEWS, COMMENTERS WRITING YOUR MOTHER, ANY CHILD WOULD BE BLESSED TO HAVE. AND I SEE YOUR MOM WITH THE SHAKE AND BAKE GO IN THE BACKFIELD, THEN SACK THEM, KILL THEM. >> KILL. >> THIS WEEK THEY EVEN MADE AN APPEARANCE ON SPORTSCENTER, SHOWING FOLKS HOW STRONG THEIR CONNECTION IS BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD, BUT ESPECIALLY ON. >> I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. I REALLY AM, BY THE WAY, GUYS, IT ALSO RUNS IN THE FAMILY A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE ZARA IS ACTUALLY COUSINS WITH NFL STAR JALEN CARTER, FORMER NATIONAL CHAMPION AT GEORGIA AND CURRENT DEFENSIVE LINEMAN FOR MY EAGLES. >> THAT THAT'D PROBABLY A GREAT WEEKEND YOU TOOK MR.. >> THE U.S. MILITARY PUBLICLY REBUKED THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN OVER A CEMETERY SCUFFLE AND CLEARLY WERE UNHAPPY THAT THIS CEMETERY STAFFER WAS DENIGRATED IN COMMENTS FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. IS THIS QUICKLY ESCALATED TO A CAMPAIGN TRAIL CRISIS? MEANWHILE, KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ GIVE THEIR FIRST INTERVIEW. WE'RE BREAKING IT ALL DOWN. UKRAINE WAS WARNED. YOU CAN'T JUST PICK UP AN F-16. NOW, A PILOT IS DEAD. >> SOME OF THESE WEAPONS REQUIRE LOTS OF TRAINING, HAS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE GIVEN WAY TO TOO MUCH TOO SOON. AND THE FBI PROMISED THEY WOULD LEARN THE NUMBERS, SAY THEY DID IT. IT'S A STAGGERING FIGURE AND A REAL ANOTHER BLACK EYE FOR THE FBI. THE NEW WATCHDOG REPORT ON ABUSE INVESTIGATIONS. >> I'D LIKE TO THANK OUR GREAT VICE PRESIDENT, KAMALA HARRIS. >> EXPERIENCED. SHE'S TOUGH. SHE'S CAPABLE. IT'S BEEN ALMOST SIX WEEKS SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN DECIDED NOT TO SEEK REELECTION AND ENDORSED VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS TO TAKE HIS PLACE. IN WILL, HARRIS HAS SPENT THOSE LAST SIX WEEKS REINTRODUCING HERSELF TO VOTERS, CONSOLIDATING SUPPORT, PICKING A VP CANDIDATE OF HER OWN. THERE'S ONE THING SHE HASN'T DONE. SHE HASN'T SAT DOWN FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH A BROADCAST JOURNALIST. SHE'S BEEN ASKING AMERICANS FOR THEIR VOTES, BUT SHE HASN'T BEEN WILLING TO ANSWER THESE REPEATED PRESSING QUESTIONS. WELL, LAST NIGHT, HARRIS GAVE AN INTERVIEW, A JOINT INTERVIEW WITH HER RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ, TO CNN. >> WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON DAY ONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE? WELL, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS I WILL TELL YOU, FIRST AND FOREMOST. ONE OF MY HIGHEST PRIORITIES IS TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE MIDDLE CLASS. >> FROM THE JUMP. HARRIS FOCUSED ON THE MIDDLE CLASS. SHE TOLD CNN'S DANA BASH ABOUT CHARACTER, ABOUT KEEPING DONALD TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE. BUT SHE WAS REALLY FOCUSED HERE ON ECONOMICS, EXPANDING THE CHILD TAX CREDIT. PROVIDING MONEY FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER. WHICH LEADS TO THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION, THOUGH. THE QUESTION THAT HARRIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE EXPLAINING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HOW DO ANY OF YOUR POLICIES DIFFER FROM THE GUY WHO HAD TO STOP RUNNING FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO HIMSELF HAS BECOME ASSOCIATED WITH A CRISIS OF AFFORDABILITY AS HE MAINTAINED BY NOMICS, IS A SUCCESS? I MAINTAIN THAT WHEN WE DO THE WORK OF BRINGING DOWN PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, INCLUDING CAPPING THE COST OF THE ANNUAL COST OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION FOR SENIORS AT $2,000. >> HARRIS SPELLED OUT A NUMBER OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON DRUG PRICES ON THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT AND DEFENDED HER PRESIDENT. I'LL SAY THAT THAT'S GOOD WORK. THERE'S MORE TO DO, BUT THAT'S GOOD WORK. BUT SHE'S ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO SPELL OUT HER DISAGREEMENTS, NOT JUST WITH BIDEN, BUT EVEN WITH HERSELF, WITH THE VIEWS SHE HELD IN THE PAST. >> I MADE THAT CLEAR ON THE DEBATE STAGE IN 2020 THAT I WOULD NOT BAN FRACKING. AND TO ME, THIS WAS THE MOST FASCINATING BACK AND FORTH OF THIS INTERVIEW. HARRIS WAS ASKED ABOUT THE CONTROVERSIAL TECHNIQUE OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING, OR FRACKING, WHICH IS USED EXTENSIVELY IN PLACES LIKE PENNSYLVANIA. SHE SAID SHE HAD COMMITTED BACK IN 2020 NOT TO BAN FRACKING. BUT DANA BASH POINTED OUT, WHILE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN 2019, HARRIS HAD SAID SHE WOULD. SO WHAT CHANGED? FOR MANY MOMENTS, HARRIS WOULDN'T ANSWER. SHE KEPT DESCRIBING HER REMOVAL USE HAVEN'T CHANGED REGARDLESS OF POLICY. BUT FINALLY, SHE ADMITTED SHE HAD MODERATED HER STANCE. >> WE CAN GROW AND CAN INCREASE A THRIVING CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY WITHOUT BANNING FRACKING. >> SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT HER RACE, RATHER, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD BASELESS ASSERTION THAT SHE HAD PORTRAYED HERSELF AS INDIAN-AMERICAN RATHER THAN BLACK AND INDIAN. >> AND HE'S THE SAME OLD TIRED PLAYBOOK. NEXT QUESTION, PLEASE. THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT. SHE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A MEAL OUT OF IT. WE'D SEEN THIS AT THE CONVENTION, TOO. LET OTHERS GET PERSONAL. SEEM TO BE THE STRATEGY YOU'RE TRYING TO PORTRAY YOURSELF AS A COMMANDER IN CHIEF. SHE EVEN HINTED THAT SHE WOULD BE OPEN TO REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE ON CABINET POSITIONS. >> WILL YOU APPOINT A REPUBLICAN TO YOUR CABINET? >> YES, I WOULD. AND IT WASN'T RIGHT? NO, NO ONE IN PARTICULAR IN. >> I GOT IT. WE GOT 68 DAYS TO GO. THIS ELECTION'S. I'M NOT PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, BUT I WOULD NOW NOTICE THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAYING I WILL CHOOSE A REPUBLICAN AND I WOULD CHOOSE A REPUBLICAN. >> A LITTLE BIT MORE CONDITIONAL, RIGHT? LIKE I WOULD IF THE RIGHT PERSON COMES ALONG. WE'LL SEE. SO WE'LL SEE WHETHER SHE TREATS THIS LIKE A PROMISE OR A CONSIDERATION. BUT THIS IS THE REASON WHY INTERVIEWS LIKE THIS ARE SO USEFUL AND WHY THE FOR THEM WILL CONTINUE. >> MNWHILE, ON THE OTHER SIDE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN HAS GONE TO BATTLE OVER SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED AT ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST SACRED SITES. >> THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN FACING CRITICISM FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. CEMETERY OFFICIALS SAY THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN PHOTOGRAPHY RELATED INCIDENT. IT'S KIND OF REACHED A BOILING POINT WITH THE MILITARY YESTERDAY. SO LET'S CHECK IN WITH ABC SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG, WHO'S BEEN TRAVELING WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. SHE WAS IN MICHIGAN WHERE HE SPOKE YESTERDAY, SELINA. FIRST OFF, CAN YOU JUST I GUESS, PAINT THE PICTURE FOR US OF WHAT ALLEGEDLY HAPPENED EARLIER THIS WEEK AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY. >> YEAH. SO JUST TO STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT, EARLIER THIS WEEK, TRUMP WENT TO THE GRAVE SITES OF SOME OF THE 13 U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS WHO WERE KILLED DURING THAT ATTACK AT AP GATE DURING THAT WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN. SO TRUMP WAS USING THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY AS WELL TO TRY TO BLAME VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR THAT CHAOTIC WITHDRAWAL ON THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY. >> THE ACTION IN AFGHANISTAN SET OFF THE COLLAPSE OF AMERICAN CREDIBILITY AND RESPECT ALL AROUND THE WORLD. >> BUT FILMING IN PARTS OF THE AREA OF THAT CEMETERY IS PROHIBITED, ESPECIALLY IN THIS PLACE THAT'S CALLED SECTION 60. >> THIS IS A VERY HALLOWED PLACE. SO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, ACCORDING TO THE CEMETERY, HAD KNOWN BEFOREHAND THAT FILMING WAS PROHIBITED, BUT THEY WENT AHEAD AND DID IT ANYWAYS WHEN IT WAS 13. >> GREAT, GREAT PEOPLE. >> AND NOW THE U.S. ARMY, IN A VERY RARE MOVE, HAS ACTUALLY ISSUED A RESPONSE SAYING THAT A CEMETERY EMPLOYEE WAS ABRUPTLY PUSHED ASIDE WHEN THEY TRIED TO ENFORCE THE RULES OF THE CAMPAIGN, PLAYING AHEAD TO TAKE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, DEFYING DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE POLICY, WHICH, QUOTE, CLEARLY PROHIBITS POLITICAL ACTIVITIES ON CEMETERY GROUNDS. >> WELL, AND THIS HAS GOTTEN SO NASTY. I MEAN, WHEN YOU HEAR TRUMP CAMPAIGN SPOKESPERSON TALK ABOUT THIS, HE'S CALLING ARMY STAFFERS HACKS. YOU KNOW, IT IS ILLEGAL APPARENTLY TO FILM FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES ON AT LEAST THIS PART OF ARLINGTON. >> AND YET WE'VE SEEN TIKTOKS FROM THIS PLACE NOW FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. I MEAN, ARE THERE POTENTIAL LEGAL REPERCUSSIONS TO ANY OF THIS? SO NOW THE ARMY IS SAYING THAT BECAUSE THIS CEMETERY STAFFER DECIDED NOT TO PRESS CHARGES, THEY CONSIDER THIS CASE CLOSED. >> IT'S REALLY THE DECISION FOR THE ARMY TO MAKE AND TO PURSUE ANY OTHER PATH FORWARD. THE DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW IS NOT DOING THAT. AND THE ARMY, WE STAND BY THE ARMY. AND CONSIDERING THIS MATTER CLOSED. >> BUT THEY'RE STEPHEN HAD A PRETTY BIG REBUKE OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, CALLED IT A VERY UNFORTUNATE SITUATION AND CLEARLY WERE UNHAPPY THAT THIS CEMETERY STAFFER WAS DENIGRATED IN COMMENTS FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN CLAIMED THAT THE CEMETERY STAFFER, THE ONE WHO INITIATED THE PHYSICAL CONTACT, AND THEY ALSO ADDED TO SAY THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS THERE TO SUPPORT GOLD STAR FAMILIES WHERE IT WAS KAMALA HARRIS. NOW, THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN, FOR THEIR PART, SAYS THIS IS TYPICAL BEHAVIOR FOR DONALD TRUMP. >> THIS IS NOT A GROSS VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. >> THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO DID WHAT ALL PRESIDENTS DO DO SHOW UP. >> THERE WAS MOMENT ACTUALLY WHERE J.D. VANCE WAS ON THE TRAIL AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AND HE SAID THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS CAN, QUOTE, GO TO. >> SHE WON'T EVEN DO AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED. AND SHE WANTS TO YELL AT DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE HE SHOWED UP. SHE CAN SHE CAN GO TO. >> VERY STRONG LANGUAGE THAT WE HAVE NOT REALLY HEARD BEFORE. EVEN THE VICE PRESIDENT, HARRIS, HERSELF HAS NOT DIRECTLY COMMENTED ON THIS. BUT CLEARLY, THIS CONTROVERSY IS CONTINUING DAYS AFTER THAT VISIT. >> AND THE J.D. VANCE NOW SAID. BUT, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE MILITARY, OBVIOUSLY NOT A GROUP OF PEOPLE YOU WANT TO OFFEND, LIKE VETERANS, BUT ALSO LIKE J.D. VANCE CERTAINLY HAS NOT HELPED FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN VOTERS WITH SOME OF THESE PAST COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN UNEARTHED. >> I MEAN, NOW YOU LOOK AT NATIONWIDE POLLS JUST IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, "WALL STREET JOURNAL". HARRIS UP ONE QUINNIPIAC. WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THESE CANDIDATES TOGETHER. HARRIS UP TO REUTERS. >> HARRIS UP FOUR. IF YOU'RE DONALD TRUMP, HOW DO YOU. >> IS THERE ANYTHING TO ADJUST RIGHT NOW ON THE TRAIL? YEAH. BRAD WELL, DONALD TRUMP HAS SIGNIFICANTLY STEPPED UP HIS CAMPAIGNING IN ORDER TO COUNTER THE RISE OF VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, CLEARLY SEEING THAT SHE'S GAINING GROUND IN THE POLLS. SO THIS WEEK HE AND HIS RUNNING MATE ARE REALLY ZEROING ON THESE MIDWEST BATTLEGROUND STATES. >> I'M ANNOUNCING TODAY IN A MAJOR STATEMENT THAT UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, YOUR GOVERNMENT WILL PAY FOR ALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL BE MANDATED TO PAY FOR ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IVF. >> AND HE'S TRYING TO BROADEN HIS APPEAL BY TAKING A NEW TACT ON IVF TREATMENT ON THESE FERTILITY TREATMENTS. HE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT HE PLANS TO MAKE IVF TREATMENT UNDER HIS POSSIBLE SECOND ADMINISTRATION. HE SAID HE'S GOING TO BE MANDATING THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY. >> NOW, WHEN HE WAS ASKED TO CLARIFY WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT WOULD PAY FOR IVF OR WHETHER INSURANCE COMPANIES WOULD DO SO, HE SAID THAT ONE OPTION WOULD BE TO HAVE INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY, QUOTE, UNDER A MANDATE. NOW, LOOK, THE HARE'S CAMPAIGN IS RESPONDING TO THIS, SAYING THAT HE'S JUST POSTURING HERE, THAT HIS NEW PROMISE TO MAKE IVF TREATMENT FREE IS TOTALLY AT ODDS WITH HIS OWN RECORD. THEIR CAMPAIGN IS ALSO POINTING TO THE GOP PARTY PLATFORM, WHICH THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN SAYS THREATENS IVF AND WOULD BAN ABORTION NATIONWIDE BY ESTABLISHING FETAL PERSONHOOD THROUGH THE CONSTITUTION 14TH AMENDMENT. >> SO BIG ABOUT HOW HE WOULD IMPLEMENT THIS, WHERE THIS WOULD GO. >> HE WOULD ACTUALLY DO IT IF HE WERE IN FACT, ELECTED AGAIN. I WAS GOING TO SAY THERE ARE MOMENTS WHERE DONALD TRUMP IN THE PAST HAS SORT OF SAID THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT DON'T NECESSARILY HAPPEN. AND YET THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHERE HE IS REALLY PROPOSING BOLD NEW POLICY INITIATIVES. YOU KIND OF WONDER WHICH THIS WOULD END UP BEING DEPENDING ON HOW THE REST OF THIS CAMPAIGN GOES. >> ALL RIGHT. SELINA WANG ON THE TRAIL RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> NEXT UP ON "START HERE", HE WAS A STAR OF UKRAINIAN TRAINING AND IN ONE OF HIS FIRST MISSIONS, HE'S DEAD. THE NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT AMERICAN ARMS SHIPMENTS AFTER THE BREAK. IF UKRAINE'S EXPEDITION INTO RUSSIA WAS MEANT TO MAKE VLADIMIR PUTIN BRING BACK INVADING TROOPS. WELL THAT HASN'T REALLY HAPPENED. >> BOMBING CAMPAIGNS HAVE CONTINUED ON BOTH SIDES, THE BORDER. AND NOW WE'VE LEARNED THAT EARLIER THIS WEEK, A UKRAINIAN PILOT WAS KILLED WHEN HIS F-16 CRASHED, WHICH, OF COURSE, IS A BIG DEAL TO THE U.S. SINCE HE MADE THOSE PLANES AND SIGNED OFF ON THEM BEING GIVEN TO UKRAINE. LET'S GO TO ABC'S LUIS MARTINEZ AT THE PENTAGON LUIS. >> THERE IS THIS WHOLE DEBATE OVER WHETHER COUNTRIES SHOULD BE GIVING UKRAINE F-16S. >> NOW WE HEAR THIS. WHAT HAPPENED? BRIAN WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT UKRAINE DECIDED TO USE ITS F-16S FOR THE FIRST TIME TO TRY TO SHOOT DOWN THESE BALLISTIC MISSILES, THESE CRUISE MISSILES, DRONES THAT RUSSIA LAUNCHED AT UKRAINE EARLIER THIS WEEK IN LARGE NUMBERS. ONE OF THE PILOTS WAS UNFORTUNATELY PILOTING AN AIRCRAFT THAT WENT DOWN. WE ARE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHY IT WENT DOWN, BUT WE KNOW THAT HE DIED AND THAT ESSENTIALLY IT HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS PROTECTING UKRAINE FROM ALL THIS INCOMING FIRE. >> UKRAINE IS MOVING FROM JAVELIN STARS, STINGERS TO PASS RODS AND F-16S. >> NOW, YOU'RE RIGHT. THIS WAS HAS BEEN A REAL HOT BUTTON ISSUE FOR THE UNITED STATES IN UKRAINE. UKRAINE SAYING THAT IT NEEDED F-16S, THAT IT NEEDED MODERN AIRCRAFT TO TRY TO COMBAT THE RUSSIAN INVASION AND NOW NOT ONLY HAVE THEY LOST THIS AIRCRAFT, BUT THEY'VE ALSO LOST A HIGHLY VISIBLE AND HIGHLY TRAINED PILOT. I SAY VISIBLE BECAUSE THIS WAS A PILOT WHO HAD ADVOCATED FOR F-16S. HE HAD LOBBIED UP ON CAPITOL HILL, AND HE WAS ACTUALLY PART OF THAT FIRST CLASS OF INCOMING UKRAINIAN PILOTS. >> AND NOW HE'S GONE DOWN IN A CRASH. WELL, LUIS, DOES THIS, I GUESS, PUT IT IN A NEW LIGHT, SOME OF THESE WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT THAT WE ARE SENDING OVER TO UKRAINE, BECAUSE, I MEAN, UKRAINE HAS ALSO BEEN SAYING LIKE, HEY, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE AMERICAN MADE WEAPONS TO LAUNCH DEEPER INTO RUSSIA. HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT WILL THIS HAVE ON THE U.S. WHEN IT COMES TO SUPPLYING UKRAINE WITH ARMS. >> BRAD, THE LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATED WEAPONRY THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO UKRAINE IS INCREDIBLE. AND SOME OF THESE WEAPONS REQUIRE LOTS OF TRAINING AND LOTS OF KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE SOPHISTICATED EQUIPMENT . >> WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR NATO ALLIES AND THE UKRAINIANS FLYING F-16S SUMMER AND WE SHOW THE WORLD WE STAND WITH UKRAINE. >> I THINK AMERICAN OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN REALLY SURPRISED AT HOW WELL THE UKRAINIANS HAVE ADAPTED TO THE USE OF THESE WEAPONS, AS WELL AS THE ADAPTATIONS THAT THEY'VE MADE WITH THE USE OF DRONES ON THE BATTLEFIELD. AND THEY'VE BEEN REALLY SURPRISED BY IT. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY REALLY STRESSED WAS THAT THE F-16 IS NOT LIKE FLYING A MIG 29, WHICH IS WHAT THESE PILOTS WERE USED TO. >> YOU AND THAT THEY HAD TO KNOW ENGLISH. THIS WAS A LENGTHY, LENGTHY TRAINING PROGRAM. AND EVEN THEN, U.S. OFFICIALS WERE GOING TO TELL YOU, ESPECIALLY U.S. OFFICIALS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE F-16, WERE GOING TO TELL YOU THAT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO. LEARN HOW TO FLY AN F-16 WITH A LOT OF CONFIDENCE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE COMING IN FROM ANOTHER AIRFRAME. ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUE STEPHEN GANYARD, AN ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, HE'S MENTIONED HOW HE EXPECTS MAYBE HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF FLIGHT TIME BEFORE AN INDIVIDUAL PILOT CAN BE FEELING REALLY COMFORTABLE IN AN F-16 IF THEY'VE COME IN FROM ANOTHER AIRCRAFT. AND AGAIN, THIS WAS ADVANCED TRAINING, BUT AGAIN, MUCH SHORTER THAN WHAT AN AMERICAN PILOT WOULD HAVE RECEIVED. >> WELL, SO THEN, LUIS, IF WE'RE SEEING THIS KIND OF LIKE YOU SAID, THESE BARRAGES OF MISSILES AND DRONES COMING FROM RUSSIA, THAT'S WHY UKRAINE WANTED TO GO UP AND DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST THAT. >> THE OTHER KIND OF TREND I'VE BEEN NOTICING IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IS RUSSIANS AND WHAT UKRAINIANS ARE HITTING LIKE. WE'VE SEEN MORE AND MORE ATTACKS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BORDER ON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE. NOW, I KNEW THAT RUSSIA WAS DOING THIS TO UKRAINE BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE, HEY, COLD WINTERS ARE COMING UP, WILL MAKE JUST LIFE MISERABLE AS POSSIBLE. CORNER THESE GUYS IN BASICALLY HAVING TO SURRENDER PUT THEIR TROOPS ON THE DEFENSIVE. WHY IS UKRAINE DOING THIS TO RUSSIA, THOUGH? I CAN'T IMAGINE THEY'RE GOING TO WEAKEN THE ENTIRE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. >> WELL, THESE ARE VERY HIGH PROFILE ATTACKS, BRAD. I MEAN, WE ARE SEEING THE UKRAINIANS LAUNCHING REALLY LARGE NUMBERS OF DRONES AT TARGETS THAT ARE VERY FAR AWAY INSIDE OF RUSSIA. >> THEY'VE DEVELOPED NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR DRONES. >> THEY'VE DEVELOPED THESE NEW LONGER DRONES THAT CAN REACH DEEP INTO RUSSIA, AND THEY ARE STRIKING IT INFRASTRUCTURE, MUCH LIKE THE RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN IMPACTING THEIR ONLY THE ELECTRIC UTILITY PLANTS AND SOME OF THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH HAS CAUSED REALLY A LOT OF DAMAGE AND REALLY BROUGHT DOWN THE LEVELS OF ENERGY, ELECTRICITY, ESPECIALLY ELECTRICITY INSIDE OF UKRAINE. WE'RE SEEING THE UKRAINIANS DOING THE SAME. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE SAW THIS VERY LARGE ATTACK ON AN OIL FACILITY NEARBY IN ROSTOV JUST ACROSS THE BORDER FROM UKRAINE. AND THAT FIRE WAS HUGE AND IT ESSENTIALLY CAUSED AN ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATION FOR THE SURROUNDING TOWN. AND NOW WE'RE SEEING MORE ATTACKS LIKE THAT. AND I THINK THOSE ATTACKS CAN CREATE A PSYCHOLOGICAL BLOW. I MEAN, THEY ARE FAR, FAR LOWER NUMBER THAN WHAT THE RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN LAUNCHING AGAINST UKRAINE. BUT AGAIN, AT LEAST THEY'RE DOING THIS AND THEY'RE SHOWING NEW CAPABILITY THAT I THINK GETS NOTICED BECAUSE IF YOU'RE A RUSSIAN CIVILIAN IN THAT AREA AND YOU SEE A HUGE, MASSIVE CLOUD OF SMOKE THAT'S GOING ON FOR DAYS AND HUNDREDS OF FIREFIGHTERS ARE TRYING TO BRING THAT FIRE DOWN, YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING REALLY SERIOUS IS TAKING PLACE. >> I IT'S NOT LIKE MOSCOW IS STILL GOING TO HAVE HEAT, LIKE UKRAINE IS NOT GOING TO AFFECT THAT. BUT THIS CAN LIKE KIND OF AFFECT WHETHER RUSSIA CAN ORGANIZE ITS MILITARY IN THAT WESTERN PART OF ITS COUNTRY. AND I GUESS, LIKE YOU SAID, THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF HAVING UKRAINE, YOU KNOW, RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER YOUR TROOPS. LUIS MARTINEZ THERE AT THE PENTAGON, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANKS, BRAD. WHEN DR. LARRY NASSAR WAS CONVICTED IN 2017 FOR ABUSING YOUNG ATHLETES AND THEN AGAIN IN 2018 WHEN HE PLEADED GUILTY TO EVEN MORE COUNTS, THE REACTION AMONG GYMNASTS WAS RELIEF. BUT THERE WAS ALSO ANGER AT HIM, AT LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHO HAD TAKEN YEARS TO PROPERLY INVESTIGATE NASSAR. WELL, WHEN THE FBI FINALLY ADMITTED ITS SHORTCOMINGS IN 2021, THERE WAS OUTRAGE. WE HAVE BEEN FAILED AND WE DESERVE ANSWERS. THE FBI MADE ME FEEL LIKE MY ABUSE DIDN'T COUNT, AND IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL. >> THEY HAD LEGAL, LEGITIMATE EVIDENCE OF CHILD ABUSE AND DID NOTHING. MANY SAID THIS WAS INDICATIVE OF AN EVEN WIDER PROBLEM. FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY PROMISED HE WOULD MAKE SURE THESE LAPSES NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. IT'S MY COMMITMENT TO YOU THAT I AND MY ENTIRE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY AT THE FBI REMEMBERS WHAT HAPPENED HERE. >> SO THE BUREAU UNDERWENT A SWEEPING INVESTIGATION FROM ITS OWN WATCHDOG, THE FBI INSPECTOR GENERAL. AND YESTERDAY, THE RESULTS OF THAT INVESTIGATION BECAME PUBLIC. ABC'S ALIX MALLIN COVERS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. HE'S BEEN READING THROUGH ALL THIS. ALEX, WHAT DID THESE INVESTIGATORS FIND? >> YES, THIS IS THE INSPECTOR GENERAL, MICHAEL HOROWITZ, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S LEAD INSPECTOR GENERAL. >> AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT HE REVIEWED WAS AN AUDIT OF THE SIX MONTHS AFTER THE LARRY NASSAR REPORT WAS RELEASED. SO THIS WAS ALL AFTER ALL THAT PUBLIC SCRUTINY AND CRITICISM WAS FACING THE FBI AND AFTER IT, IT ALSO IMPLEMENTED A LOT OF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE INSPECTOR GENERAL TO CHANGE ITS BEHAVIOR, TO CHANGE ITS POLICIES, TO CHANGE ITS TRAINING. AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL FOUND WAS THE FBI WAS STILL NOT FOLLOWING THE LETTER OF THE POLICY AND THE LAW IN INVESTIGATING PROPERLY THESE CLAIMS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE CONCERNS THAT LED US TO FLAG INCIDENTS INCLUDED A LACK OF RECENT INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITY, LACK OF LOGICAL INVESTIGATIVE STEPS, NOT REPORTING SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE TO APPROPRIATE STATE, LOCAL, TRIBAL AND TERRITORIAL AGENCIES LEADS THAT WEREN'T APPROPRIATELY COVERED, AND INSTANCES OF SUBSTANTIAL NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FBI POLICIES. NOW, WHAT THEY DID IS IN THAT SIX MONTH SPAN, BRAD, THERE WERE ABOUT 4000 TOTAL CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE CASES OPENED BY THE FBI. THEY TOOK RANDOMLY 327 AND FOUND 42 OF THOSE CASES OF THOSE 327 CASES THAT THEY AUDITED. THEY WERE SO INSUFFICIENTLY HANDLED THAT THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FBI AND SAY, HEY, YOU REALLY HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. KIDS MIGHT BE IN DANGER IN THESE CASES, JUST LIKE THE LARRY NASSAR CASES. SO THAT'S 13%. AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT BIG OF A NUMBER. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE VICTIMS, THE VOICES WHO MAY BE ACTIVELY IGNORED AND MAY STILL BE SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF ABUSER. IT'S A STAGGERING FIGURE AND A REAL ANOTHER BLACK EYE FOR THE FBI AT A TIME WHERE IT'S REALLY TRYING TO CLEAN UP ITS REPUTATION. AFTER THE NASSAR CASE. I WAS GOING TO SAY, YOU SAID THERE'S SORT OF ONLY A PROPORTION OF CASES THAT THEY EVEN LOOKED AT. SO THAT MEANS THAT IN ADDITION TO THOSE 40 SOMETHING, THAT MEANS THAT THERE'S POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS MORE. >> WHAT SORT OF STUFF IS BEING MISSED? LIKE, ARE THERE EXAMPLES OF WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN COMING UP SHORT? >> WELL, IN ONE CASE, THAT'S REALLY DISTURBING. >> FBI AGENTS WERE FOUND TO HAVE FAILED TO FOLLOW UP ON THESE ALLEGATIONS THAT INVOLVED ABUSE AGAINST A MINOR BY A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER AFTER THEY URGED THE FBI TO FOLLOW, THEY ENDED UP FINDING OUT THAT THIS OFFENDER ACTUALLY VICTIMIZED ANOTHER ADDITIONAL MINOR FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 15 MONTHS AFTER THEY RECEIVED THAT INITIAL TIP. AND, BRAD, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THAT'S PARTICULARLY DISTURBING IS THAT IN THE LARRY NASSAR CASE, THE FBI TOOK 15 MONTHS TO ACTUALLY INITIATE ITS PROPER INVESTIGATION AND INDICT HIM. THAT WAS 15 MONTHS AFTER THEY RECEIVED THAT INITIAL TIP. SO IT'S JUST THE KIND OF EERIE NATURE OF THIS REPORT WHERE IT'S NOT JUST THOSE HIGH PROFILE INSTANCES WHERE THESE THINGS WERE HAPPENING, WHERE GYMNASTS WERE FACING ABUSE, BUT IT'S THIS MINOR ALSO THAT WE DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF AND WHO, YOU KNOW, THEIR ABUSER DID FACE JUSTICE ULTIMATELY. BUT HOW MANY MONTHS WERE THEY OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, FACING THAT ABUSE ISN'T THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE LARRY NASSAR CASE. >> RIGHT. LIKE EVENTUAL JUSTICE. BUT AT THE COST OF HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE MEANTIME. >> YEAH. AND ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS FOUND IN THIS REPORT, BRAD, IS THAT FBI AGENTS IN GENERAL, THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REPORT ANY TIME THEY GET ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE AGAINST CHILDREN TO, YOU KNOW, STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND ALSO TO SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 327 CASES THAT THEY ACTUALLY AUDITED, THEY FOUND THAT IN 47% OF THE INSTANCES THAT THEY REVIEWED, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY EVIDENCE. FBI EMPLOYEES PROPERLY DID REPORT THOSE ALLEGATIONS TO STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. AND IN 50% OF THE CASES, HALF THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE. THEY REPORTED THE ALLEGATIONS TO SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES. NOW, THE FBI KIND OF EXPLAINS THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT IT'S MORE OF A LAPSE IN PAPERWORK. THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH THESE AGENCIES ALL THE TIME. MAYBE OUR AGENTS DON'T SPECIFICALLY IT. BUT ON THIS BRIEFING CALL WITH REPORTERS YESTERDAY, BRAD, THEY DID ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT FAILURES THAT ARE GOING TO NEED TO BE ADDRESSED DOWN THE LINE. >> WHAT HAS BEEN THE REACTION? FIRST OF ALL, I'M JUST THINKING FROM THESE LIKE THESE GYMNASTS ,THEIR FAMILIES THAT WERE KIND OF THE IMPETUS FOR THIS ENTIRE REVIEW. >> WHAT ARE THEY SAYING? YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN CALLING FOR SYSTEMIC CHANGE IN THE FBI AS A RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. AND THEY ARE AGAIN, OUT TODAY AFTER REVIEWING THIS REPORT SAYING THAT IT IS UP TO CONGRESS TO CHANGE THE LAWS, TO CHANGE THE POLICIES OF THE FBI. AND I WILL NOTE, BRAD, THAT THE SENATE JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN DID ANNOUNCE YESTERDAY THAT HE IS GOING TO BE CALLING FBI LEADERSHIP TO TESTIFYING IN THE COMING WEEKS ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE ISSUED BY, THE IG IN THIS REPORT, AND WHY THE FBI SEEMINGLY WASN'T FOLLOWED. THE INITIAL SOME OF THE INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE FROM THE LARRY NASSAR REPORT, IT PROMISES TO BE, YOU KNOW, YET ANOTHER DRAMATIC HEARING, KIND OF LIKE THE ONE THAT WE SAW IN 2021. >> IN THE MEANTIME, THE FBI SAYING ANY MISTAKE OR DEFICIENCY IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE FBI RECOGNIZES THAT. BUT THEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW HIGH PROFILE GYMNASTS WERE. SOME SOME OF THEM ARE OLYMPIC MEDALIST WHO ARE COMING FORWARD AND I THINK EVEN AFTER THERE WAS ALL THIS SCRUTINY ON THE BUREAU THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH A LOT LESS VOICE WERE STILL NOT GETTING THE ATTENTION THAT THEY DESERVED. THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE FBI WATCHDOG. ALL RIGHT. ALEX MATLIN COVERING THE DOJ. THANKS SO MUCH. THANKS, BRAD. OKAY. ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK. YOU KNOW WHAT WATER ENGINEERS ALWAYS SAY YOU'RE . >> YOU DO, IF YOU DON'T. ONE LAST THING IS NEXT. AND ONE LAST THING EVERYONE IN GERMANY REMEMBERS WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THE BERLIN WALL CAME DOWN. WELL, ALONG THE STATE LINE, CALIFORNIA AND OREGON. THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT. IT'S A FISH. YESTERDAY, DEMOLITION WORKERS REACHED TWO HUGE DAMS THAT HAVE BEEN BLOCKING OFF PARTS OF THE KLAMATH RIVER, MEANING AS OF THIS MORNING, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A CENTURY. SALMON ABLE TO SWIM FREELY THROUGH THIS KEY WATERWAY. THIS IS THE LARGEST DAM-OLITION SO FAR IN WHAT'S REALLY BECOME A NATIONWIDE TO RESTORE RIVERS TO THEIR HISTORIC PATHS. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO THE ADVOCACY GROUP AMERICAN RIVERS, MORE THAN A THOUSAND DAMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN APART IN THE LAST 25 YEARS ALONE. BUT WHY? AFTER ALL, DAMS CAN PROVIDE CLEAN, RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY, AND THEY HELPED SET ASIDE WATER IN IN CASE OF A DROUGHT. SOME OF THE PEOPLE TAKING THIS THE HARDEST ARE ALSO THOSE WHO HAVE BOUGHT HOMES ALONG LAKE THAT ARE NOW ABOUT TO START DRYING OUT. WATER STARTS FLOWING AGAIN. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, NATIVE AMERICAN HAVE LONG SAID THESE DAMS WERE BUILT WITHOUT THEIR INPUT AND, THAT THEY DEPRIVED THEM OF ONE OF THEIR NATURAL LIFELINES, THE CHINOOK SALMON PEOPLE, THE SALMON, THE RIVER. THAT'S. THAT'S OUR HIGHWAY. THAT'S OUR RIVER. THAT'S GROCERY STORE. MOTHER EARTH GAVE US THAT. AND AGAIN IT'S -- IT'S ABOUT RESPECT. >> IT'S ABOUT BALANCE. THESE DAMS INSTALLED BY POWER MADE NATIVE LAND LESS VALUABLE. A WEAKENED WILDLIFE POPULATION THAT WAITS FOR SALMON TO MIGRATE EVERY YEAR AND IN 2000 TO LOW RIVER LEVELS LED TO A HUGE BACTERIAL OUTBREAK. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT NOW ACKNOWLEDGES THAT MANY OF THESE DAMS HAS DEVASTATED NATIVE COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY. WHEN WE LOOK AT ALL THE AREAS OF FEDERAL INDIAN POLICY IN THIS COUNTRY, ONE OF WHICH WERE DAMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WITHOUT EVER ONCE CONSULTING TRIBES ABOUT WHAT IT MEANT TO THEIR LIVES OR THEIR CULTURES. >> IN SOME WAYS, THOUGH, TEARING DOWN THIS DAM WALL IS THE EASY PART. THE TOUGH PART WILL BE RESTORING RIVERBANKS THAT HAVE DRIED UP FOR THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS. THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AFTER THIS DEMOLITION TO HELP PLANT SEEDS THAT RESTORE VEGETATION AND HEAL THE ECOSYSTEM. NATIVE TRIBES HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN SAVING OF SEEDS. THAT'S BILLION WITH A B FOR THIS MOMENT. SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN ASKED, WHY SPEND ALL THIS MONEY, THOUGH? WHY NOT JUST, SURE, LET THE WATER RUN, BUT LET NATURE RUN ITS COURSE? THE ANSWER IS THAT WE INTERFERED WITH NATURE A CENTURY AGO. WE DIDN'T ALLOW IT TO TAKE ITS COURSE. SO NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE IT RIGHT QUICKLY. WILDLIFE EXPERTS SAY IT WON'T TAKE TOO LONG BEFORE THE SALMON START RE COLONIZING WHAT'S THEIRS AND JUST GOING SWIMMINGLY UP THERE IN OREGON NOW, VERY SOPHISTICATED, VERY DAM.

AND WHEN HIS MOM, TARIKA, GETS HOME FROM HER JOB AS A SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR. THEY WILL SQUARE UP IN THE YARD OF THEIR FLORIDA HOME AND GET TO WORK. >> I WANT SACKS EVERY DAY, ALL DAY WHEN HE'S IN THE GAME, OF COURSE. >> NOW, TARIK HAS LOVED FOOTBALL SINCE SHE WAS A CHEERLEADER IN HIGH SCHOOL. BUT THIS ALL STARTED WHEN ZAH FIRST JOINED A TEAM AT FIVE YEARS OLD. HE WAS SO EXCITED. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS HE JUST WAS NOT GETTING ANY PLAYTIME. >> I KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. YOU WAS DOWN.

IS THIS QUICKLY ESCALATED TO A CAMPAIGN TRAIL CRISIS? MEANWHILE, KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ GIVE THEIR FIRST INTERVIEW. WE'RE BREAKING IT ALL DOWN. UKRAINE WAS WARNED. YOU CAN'T JUST PICK UP AN F-16. NOW, A PILOT IS DEAD. >> SOME OF THESE WEAPONS REQUIRE LOTS OF TRAINING, HAS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE GIVEN WAY TO TOO MUCH TOO SOON. AND THE FBI PROMISED THEY WOULD LEARN THE NUMBERS, SAY THEY DID IT. IT'S A STAGGERING FIGURE AND A REAL ANOTHER BLACK EYE FOR THE FBI. THE NEW WATCHDOG REPORT ON ABUSE INVESTIGATIONS. >> I'D LIKE TO THANK OUR GREAT VICE PRESIDENT, KAMALA HARRIS. >> EXPERIENCED. SHE'S TOUGH. SHE'S CAPABLE. IT'S BEEN ALMOST SIX WEEKS SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN DECIDED NOT TO SEEK REELECTION AND ENDORSED VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS TO TAKE HIS PLACE. IN WILL, HARRIS HAS SPENT THOSE LAST SIX WEEKS REINTRODUCING HERSELF TO VOTERS, CONSOLIDATING SUPPORT, PICKING A VP CANDIDATE OF HER OWN. THERE'S ONE THING SHE HASN'T DONE. SHE HASN'T SAT DOWN FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH A BROADCAST JOURNALIST. SHE'S BEEN ASKING AMERICANS FOR THEIR VOTES, BUT SHE HASN'T BEEN WILLING TO ANSWER THESE REPEATED PRESSING QUESTIONS. WELL, LAST NIGHT, HARRIS GAVE AN INTERVIEW, A JOINT INTERVIEW WITH HER RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ, TO CNN. >> WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON DAY ONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE? WELL, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS I WILL TELL YOU, FIRST AND FOREMOST. ONE OF MY HIGHEST PRIORITIES IS TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE MIDDLE CLASS. >> FROM THE JUMP. HARRIS FOCUSED ON THE MIDDLE CLASS. SHE TOLD CNN'S DANA BASH ABOUT CHARACTER, ABOUT KEEPING DONALD TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE. BUT SHE WAS REALLY FOCUSED HERE ON ECONOMICS, EXPANDING THE CHILD TAX CREDIT. PROVIDING MONEY FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER. WHICH LEADS TO THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION, THOUGH. THE QUESTION THAT HARRIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE EXPLAINING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HOW DO ANY OF YOUR POLICIES DIFFER FROM THE GUY WHO HAD TO STOP RUNNING FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO HIMSELF HAS BECOME ASSOCIATED WITH A CRISIS OF AFFORDABILITY AS HE MAINTAINED BY NOMICS, IS A SUCCESS? I MAINTAIN THAT WHEN WE DO THE WORK OF BRINGING DOWN PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, INCLUDING CAPPING THE COST OF THE ANNUAL COST OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION FOR SENIORS AT $2,000. >> HARRIS SPELLED OUT A NUMBER OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON DRUG PRICES ON THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT AND DEFENDED HER PRESIDENT. I'LL SAY THAT THAT'S GOOD WORK. THERE'S MORE TO DO, BUT THAT'S GOOD WORK. BUT SHE'S ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO SPELL OUT HER DISAGREEMENTS, NOT JUST WITH BIDEN, BUT EVEN WITH HERSELF, WITH THE VIEWS SHE HELD IN THE PAST. >> I MADE THAT CLEAR ON THE DEBATE STAGE IN 2020 THAT I WOULD NOT BAN FRACKING. AND TO ME, THIS WAS THE MOST FASCINATING BACK AND FORTH OF THIS INTERVIEW. HARRIS WAS ASKED ABOUT THE CONTROVERSIAL TECHNIQUE OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING, OR FRACKING, WHICH IS USED EXTENSIVELY IN PLACES LIKE PENNSYLVANIA. SHE SAID SHE HAD COMMITTED BACK IN 2020 NOT TO BAN FRACKING. BUT DANA BASH POINTED OUT, WHILE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN 2019, HARRIS HAD SAID SHE WOULD. SO WHAT CHANGED? FOR MANY MOMENTS, HARRIS WOULDN'T ANSWER. SHE KEPT DESCRIBING HER REMOVAL USE HAVEN'T CHANGED REGARDLESS OF POLICY. BUT FINALLY, SHE ADMITTED SHE HAD MODERATED HER STANCE. >> WE CAN GROW AND CAN INCREASE A THRIVING CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY WITHOUT BANNING FRACKING. >> SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT HER RACE, RATHER, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD BASELESS ASSERTION THAT SHE HAD PORTRAYED HERSELF AS INDIAN-AMERICAN RATHER THAN BLACK AND INDIAN. >> AND HE'S THE SAME OLD TIRED PLAYBOOK. NEXT QUESTION, PLEASE. THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT. SHE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A MEAL OUT OF IT. WE'D SEEN THIS AT THE CONVENTION, TOO. LET OTHERS GET PERSONAL. SEEM TO BE THE STRATEGY YOU'RE TRYING TO PORTRAY YOURSELF AS A COMMANDER IN CHIEF. SHE EVEN HINTED THAT SHE WOULD BE OPEN TO REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE ON CABINET POSITIONS. >> WILL YOU APPOINT A REPUBLICAN TO YOUR CABINET? >> YES, I WOULD. AND IT WASN'T RIGHT? NO, NO ONE IN PARTICULAR IN. >> I GOT IT. WE GOT 68 DAYS TO GO. THIS ELECTION'S. I'M NOT PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, BUT I WOULD NOW NOTICE THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAYING I WILL CHOOSE A REPUBLICAN AND I WOULD CHOOSE A REPUBLICAN. >> A LITTLE BIT MORE CONDITIONAL, RIGHT? LIKE I WOULD IF THE RIGHT PERSON COMES ALONG. WE'LL SEE. SO WE'LL SEE WHETHER SHE TREATS THIS LIKE A PROMISE OR A CONSIDERATION. BUT THIS IS THE REASON WHY INTERVIEWS LIKE THIS ARE SO USEFUL AND WHY THE FOR THEM WILL CONTINUE. >> MEANWHILE, ON THE OTHER SIDE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN HAS GONE TO BATTLE OVER SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED AT ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST SACRED SITES. >> THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN FACING CRITICISM FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. CEMETERY OFFICIALS SAY THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN PHOTOGRAPHY RELATED INCIDENT. IT'S KIND OF REACHED A BOILING POINT WITH THE MILITARY YESTERDAY. SO LET'S CHECK IN WITH ABC SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG, WHO'S BEEN TRAVELING WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. SHE WAS IN MICHIGAN WHERE HE SPOKE YESTERDAY, SELINA. FIRST OFF, CAN YOU JUST I GUESS, PAINT THE PICTURE FOR US OF WHAT ALLEGEDLY HAPPENED EARLIER THIS WEEK AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY. >> YEAH. SO JUST TO STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT, EARLIER THIS WEEK, TRUMP WENT TO THE GRAVE SITES OF SOME OF THE 13 U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS WHO WERE KILLED DURING THAT ATTACK AT AP GATE DURING THAT WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN. SO TRUMP WAS USING THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY AS WELL TO TRY TO BLAME VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR THAT CHAOTIC WITHDRAWAL ON THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY. >> THE ACTION IN AFGHANISTAN SET OFF THE COLLAPSE OF AMERICAN CREDIBILITY AND RESPECT ALL AROUND THE WORLD. >> BUT FILMING IN PARTS OF THE AREA OF THAT CEMETERY IS PROHIBITED, ESPECIALLY IN THIS PLACE THAT'S CALLED SECTION 60. >> THIS IS A VERY HALLOWED PLACE. SO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, ACCORDING TO THE CEMETERY, HAD KNOWN BEFOREHAND THAT FILMING WAS PROHIBITED, BUT THEY WENT AHEAD AND DID IT ANYWAYS WHEN IT WAS 13. >> GREAT, GREAT PEOPLE. >> AND NOW THE U.S. ARMY, IN A VERY RARE MOVE, HAS ACTUALLY ISSUED A RESPONSE SAYING THAT A CEMETERY EMPLOYEE WAS ABRUPTLY PUSHED ASIDE WHEN THEY TRIED TO ENFORCE THE RULES OF THE CAMPAIGN, PLAYING AHEAD TO TAKE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, DEFYING DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE POLICY, WHICH, QUOTE, CLEARLY PROHIBITS POLITICAL ACTIVITIES ON CEMETERY GROUNDS. >> WELL, AND THIS HAS GOTTEN SO NASTY. I MEAN, WHEN YOU HEAR TRUMP CAMPAIGN SPOKESPERSON TALK ABOUT THIS, HE'S CALLING ARMY STAFFERS HACKS. YOU KNOW, IT IS ILLEGAL APPARENTLY TO FILM FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES ON AT LEAST THIS PART OF ARLINGTON. >> AND YET WE'VE SEEN TIKTOKS FROM THIS PLACE NOW FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. I MEAN, ARE THERE POTENTIAL LEGAL REPERCUSSIONS TO ANY OF THIS? SO NOW THE ARMY IS SAYING THAT BECAUSE THIS CEMETERY STAFFER DECIDED NOT TO PRESS CHARGES, THEY CONSIDER THIS CASE CLOSED. >> IT'S REALLY THE DECISION FOR THE ARMY TO MAKE AND TO PURSUE ANY OTHER PATH FORWARD. THE DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW IS NOT DOING THAT. AND THE ARMY, WE STAND BY THE ARMY. AND CONSIDERING THIS MATTER CLOSED. >> BUT THEY'RE STEPHEN HAD A PRETTY BIG REBUKE OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, CALLED IT A VERY UNFORTUNATE SITUATION AND CLEARLY WERE UNHAPPY THAT THIS CEMETERY STAFFER WAS DENIGRATED IN COMMENTS FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN CLAIMED THAT THE CEMETERY STAFFER, THE ONE WHO INITIATED THE PHYSICAL CONTACT, AND THEY ALSO ADDED TO SAY THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS THERE TO SUPPORT GOLD STAR FAMILIES WHERE IT WAS KAMALA HARRIS. NOW, THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN, FOR THEIR PART, SAYS THIS IS TYPICAL BEHAVIOR FOR DONALD TRUMP. >> THIS IS NOT A GROSS VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. >> THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO DID WHAT ALL PRESIDENTS DO DO SHOW UP. >> THERE WAS MOMENT ACTUALLY WHERE J.D. VANCE WAS ON THE TRAIL AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AND HE SAID THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS CAN, QUOTE, GO TO. >> SHE WON'T EVEN DO AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED. AND SHE WANTS TO YELL AT DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE HE SHOWED UP. SHE CAN SHE CAN GO TO. >> VERY STRONG LANGUAGE THAT WE HAVE NOT REALLY HEARD BEFORE. EVEN THE VICE PRESIDENT, HARRIS, HERSELF HAS NOT DIRECTLY COMMENTED ON THIS. BUT CLEARLY, THIS CONTROVERSY IS CONTINUING DAYS AFTER THAT VISIT. >> AND THE J.D. VANCE NOW SAID. BUT, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE MILITARY, OBVIOUSLY NOT A GROUP OF PEOPLE YOU WANT TO OFFEND, LIKE VETERANS, BUT ALSO LIKE J.D. VANCE CERTAINLY HAS NOT HELPED FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN VOTERS WITH SOME OF THESE PAST COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN UNEARTHED. >> I MEAN, NOW YOU LOOK AT NATIONWIDE POLLS JUST IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, "WALL STREET JOURNAL". HARRIS UP ONE QUINNIPIAC. WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THESE CANDIDATES TOGETHER. HARRIS UP TO REUTERS. >> HARRIS UP FOUR. IF YOU'RE DONALD TRUMP, HOW DO YOU. >> IS THERE ANYTHING TO ADJUST RIGHT NOW ON THE TRAIL? YEAH. BRAD WELL, DONALD TRUMP HAS SIGNIFICANTLY STEPPED UP HIS CAMPAIGNING IN ORDER TO COUNTER THE RISE OF VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, CLEARLY SEEING THAT SHE'S GAINING GROUND IN THE POLLS. SO THIS WEEK HE AND HIS RUNNING MATE ARE REALLY ZEROING ON THESE MIDWEST BATTLEGROUND STATES. >> I'M ANNOUNCING TODAY IN A MAJOR STATEMENT THAT UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, YOUR GOVERNMENT WILL PAY FOR ALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL BE MANDATED TO PAY FOR ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IVF. >> AND HE'S TRYING TO BROADEN HIS APPEAL BY TAKING A NEW TACT ON IVF TREATMENT ON THESE FERTILITY TREATMENTS. HE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT HE PLANS TO MAKE IVF TREATMENT UNDER HIS POSSIBLE SECOND ADMINISTRATION. HE SAID HE'S GOING TO BE MANDATING THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY. >> NOW, WHEN HE WAS ASKED TO CLARIFY WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT WOULD PAY FOR IVF OR WHETHER INSURANCE COMPANIES WOULD DO SO, HE SAID THAT ONE OPTION WOULD BE TO HAVE INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY, QUOTE, UNDER A MANDATE. NOW, LOOK, THE HARE'S CAMPAIGN IS RESPONDING TO THIS, SAYING THAT HE'S JUST POSTURING HERE, THAT HIS NEW PROMISE TO MAKE IVF TREATMENT FREE IS TOTALLY AT ODDS WITH HIS OWN RECORD. THEIR CAMPAIGN IS ALSO POINTING TO THE GOP PARTY PLATFORM, WHICH THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN SAYS THREATENS IVF AND WOULD BAN ABORTION NATIONWIDE BY ESTABLISHING FETAL PERSONHOOD THROUGH THE CONSTITUTION 14TH AMENDMENT. >> SO BIG ABOUT HOW HE WOULD IMPLEMENT THIS, WHERE THIS WOULD GO. >> HE WOULD ACTUALLY DO IT IF HE WERE IN FACT, ELECTED AGAIN. I WAS GOING TO SAY THERE ARE MOMENTS WHERE DONALD TRUMP IN THE PAST HAS SORT OF SAID THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT DON'T NECESSARILY HAPPEN. AND YET THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHERE HE IS REALLY PROPOSING BOLD NEW POLICY INITIATIVES. YOU KIND OF WONDER WHICH THIS WOULD END UP BEING DEPENDING ON HOW THE REST OF THIS CAMPAIGN GOES. >> ALL RIGHT. SELINA WANG ON THE TRAIL RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> NEXT UP ON "START HERE", HE WAS A STAR OF UKRAINIAN TRAINING AND IN ONE OF HIS FIRST MISSIONS, HE'S DEAD. THE NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT AMERICAN ARMS SHIPMENTS AFTER THE BREAK. IF UKRAINE'S EXPEDITION INTO RUSSIA WAS MEANT TO MAKE VLADIMIR PUTIN BRING BACK INVADING TROOPS. WELL THAT HASN'T REALLY HAPPENED. >> BOMBING CAMPAIGNS HAVE CONTINUED ON BOTH SIDES, THE BORDER. AND NOW WE'VE LEARNED THAT EARLIER THIS WEEK, A UKRAINIAN PILOT WAS KILLED WHEN HIS F-16 CRASHED, WHICH, OF COURSE, IS A BIG DEAL TO THE U.S. SINCE HE MADE THOSE PLANES AND SIGNED OFF ON THEM BEING GIVEN TO UKRAINE. LET'S GO TO ABC'S LUIS MARTINEZ AT THE PENTAGON LUIS. >> THERE IS THIS WHOLE DEBATE OVER WHETHER COUNTRIES SHOULD BE GIVING UKRAINE F-16S. >> NOW WE HEAR THIS. WHAT HAPPENED? BRIAN WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT UKRAINE DECIDED TO USE ITS F-16S FOR THE FIRST TIME TO TRY TO SHOOT DOWN THESE BALLISTIC MISSILES, THESE CRUISE MISSILES, DRONES THAT RUSSIA LAUNCHED AT UKRAINE EARLIER THIS WEEK IN LARGE NUMBERS. ONE OF THE PILOTS WAS UNFORTUNATELY PILOTING AN AIRCRAFT THAT WENT DOWN. WE ARE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHY IT WENT DOWN, BUT WE KNOW THAT HE DIED AND THAT ESSENTIALLY IT HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS PROTECTING UKRAINE FROM ALL THIS INCOMING FIRE. >> UKRAINE IS MOVING FROM JAVELIN STARS, STINGERS TO PASS RODS AND F-16S. >> NOW, YOU'RE RIGHT. THIS WAS HAS BEEN A REAL HOT BUTTON ISSUE FOR THE UNITED STATES IN UKRAINE. UKRAINE SAYING THAT IT NEEDED F-16S, THAT IT NEEDED MODERN AIRCRAFT TO TRY TO COMBAT THE RUSSIAN INVASION AND NOW NOT ONLY HAVE THEY LOST THIS AIRCRAFT, BUT THEY'VE ALSO LOST A HIGHLY VISIBLE AND HIGHLY TRAINED PILOT. I SAY VISIBLE BECAUSE THIS WAS A PILOT WHO HAD ADVOCATED FOR F-16S. HE HAD LOBBIED UP ON CAPITOL HILL, AND HE WAS ACTUALLY PART OF THAT FIRST CLASS OF INCOMING UKRAINIAN PILOTS. >> AND NOW HE'S GONE DOWN IN A CRASH. WELL, LUIS, DOES THIS, I GUESS, PUT IT IN A NEW LIGHT, SOME OF THESE WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT THAT WE ARE SENDING OVER TO UKRAINE, BECAUSE, I MEAN, UKRAINE HAS ALSO BEEN SAYING LIKE, HEY, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE AMERICAN MADE WEAPONS TO LAUNCH DEEPER INTO RUSSIA. HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT WILL THIS HAVE ON THE U.S. WHEN IT COMES TO SUPPLYING UKRAINE WITH ARMS. >> BRAD, THE LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATED WEAPONRY THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO UKRAINE IS INCREDIBLE. AND SOME OF THESE WEAPONS REQUIRE LOTS OF TRAINING AND LOTS OF KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE SOPHISTICATED EQUIPMENT . >> WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR NATO ALLIES AND THE UKRAINIANS FLYING F-16S SUMMER AND WE SHOW THE WORLD WE STAND WITH UKRAINE. >> I THINK AMERICAN OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN REALLY SURPRISED AT HOW WELL THE UKRAINIANS HAVE ADAPTED TO THE USE OF THESE WEAPONS, AS WELL AS THE ADAPTATIONS THAT THEY'VE MADE WITH THE USE OF DRONES ON THE BATTLEFIELD. AND THEY'VE BEEN REALLY SURPRISED BY IT. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY REALLY STRESSED WAS THAT THE F-16 IS NOT LIKE FLYING A MIG 29, WHICH IS WHAT THESE PILOTS WERE USED TO. >> YOU AND THAT THEY HAD TO KNOW ENGLISH. THIS WAS A LENGTHY, LENGTHY TRAINING PROGRAM. AND EVEN THEN, U.S. OFFICIALS WERE GOING TO TELL YOU, ESPECIALLY U.S. OFFICIALS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE F-16, WERE GOING TO TELL YOU THAT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO. LEARN HOW TO FLY AN F-16 WITH A LOT OF CONFIDENCE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE COMING IN FROM ANOTHER AIRFRAME. ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUE STEPHEN GANYARD, AN ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, HE'S MENTIONED HOW HE EXPECTS MAYBE HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF FLIGHT TIME BEFORE AN INDIVIDUAL PILOT CAN BE FEELING REALLY COMFORTABLE IN AN F-16 IF THEY'VE COME IN FROM ANOTHER AIRCRAFT. AND AGAIN, THIS WAS ADVANCED TRAINING, BUT AGAIN, MUCH SHORTER THAN WHAT AN AMERICAN PILOT WOULD HAVE RECEIVED. >> WELL, SO THEN, LUIS, IF WE'RE SEEING THIS KIND OF LIKE YOU SAID, THESE BARRAGES OF MISSILES AND DRONES COMING FROM RUSSIA, THAT'S WHY UKRAINE WANTED TO GO UP AND DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST THAT. >> THE OTHER KIND OF TREND I'VE BEEN NOTICING IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IS RUSSIANS AND WHAT UKRAINIANS ARE HITTING LIKE. WE'VE SEEN MORE AND MORE ATTACKS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BORDER ON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE. NOW, I KNEW THAT RUSSIA WAS DOING THIS TO UKRAINE BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE, HEY, COLD WINTERS ARE COMING UP, WILL MAKE JUST LIFE MISERABLE AS POSSIBLE. CORNER THESE GUYS IN BASICALLY HAVING TO SURRENDER PUT THEIR TROOPS ON THE DEFENSIVE. WHY IS UKRAINE DOING THIS TO RUSSIA, THOUGH? I CAN'T IMAGINE THEY'RE GOING TO WEAKEN THE ENTIRE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. >> WELL, THESE ARE VERY HIGH PROFILE ATTACKS, BRAD. I MEAN, WE ARE SEEING THE UKRAINIANS LAUNCHING REALLY LARGE NUMBERS OF DRONES AT TARGETS THAT ARE VERY FAR AWAY INSIDE OF RUSSIA. >> THEY'VE DEVELOPED NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR DRONES. >> THEY'VE DEVELOPED THESE NEW LONGER DRONES THAT CAN REACH DEEP INTO RUSSIA, AND THEY ARE STRIKING IT INFRASTRUCTURE, MUCH LIKE THE RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN IMPACTING THEIR ONLY THE ELECTRIC UTILITY PLANTS AND SOME OF THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH HAS CAUSED REALLY A LOT OF DAMAGE AND REALLY BROUGHT DOWN THE LEVELS OF ENERGY, ELECTRICITY, ESPECIALLY ELECTRICITY INSIDE OF UKRAINE. WE'RE SEEING THE UKRAINIANS DOING THE SAME. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE SAW THIS VERY LARGE ATTACK ON AN OIL FACILITY NEARBY IN ROSTOV JUST ACROSS THE BORDER FROM UKRAINE. AND THAT FIRE WAS HUGE AND IT ESSENTIALLY CAUSED AN ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATION FOR THE SURROUNDING TOWN. AND NOW WE'RE SEEING MORE ATTACKS LIKE THAT. AND I THINK THOSE ATTACKS CAN CREATE A PSYCHOLOGICAL BLOW. I MEAN, THEY ARE FAR, FAR LOWER NUMBER THAN WHAT THE RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN LAUNCHING AGAINST UKRAINE. BUT AGAIN, AT LEAST THEY'RE DOING THIS AND THEY'RE SHOWING NEW CAPABILITY THAT I THINK GETS NOTICED BECAUSE IF YOU'RE A RUSSIAN CIVILIAN IN THAT AREA AND YOU SEE A HUGE, MASSIVE CLOUD OF SMOKE THAT'S GOING ON FOR DAYS AND HUNDREDS OF FIREFIGHTERS ARE TRYING TO BRING THAT FIRE DOWN, YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING REALLY SERIOUS IS TAKING PLACE. >> I IT'S NOT LIKE MOSCOW IS STILL GOING TO HAVE HEAT, LIKE UKRAINE IS NOT GOING TO AFFECT THAT. BUT THIS CAN LIKE KIND OF AFFECT WHETHER RUSSIA CAN ORGANIZE ITS MILITARY IN THAT WESTERN PART OF ITS COUNTRY. AND I GUESS, LIKE YOU SAID, THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF HAVING UKRAINE, YOU KNOW, RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER YOUR TROOPS. LUIS MARTINEZ THERE AT THE PENTAGON, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANKS, BRAD. WHEN DR. LARRY NASSAR WAS CONVICTED IN 2017 FOR ABUSING YOUNG ATHLETES AND THEN AGAIN IN 2018 WHEN HE PLEADED GUILTY TO EVEN MORE COUNTS, THE REACTION AMONG GYMNASTS WAS RELIEF. BUT THERE WAS ALSO ANGER AT HIM, AT LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHO HAD TAKEN YEARS TO PROPERLY INVESTIGATE NASSAR. WELL, WHEN THE FBI FINALLY ADMITTED ITS SHORTCOMINGS IN 2021, THERE WAS OUTRAGE. WE HAVE BEEN FAILED AND WE DESERVE ANSWERS. THE FBI MADE ME FEEL LIKE MY ABUSE DIDN'T COUNT, AND IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL. >> THEY HAD LEGAL, LEGITIMATE EVIDENCE OF CHILD ABUSE AND DID NOTHING. MANY SAID THIS WAS INDICATIVE OF AN EVEN WIDER PROBLEM. FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY PROMISED HE WOULD MAKE SURE THESE LAPSES NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. IT'S MY COMMITMENT TO YOU THAT I AND MY ENTIRE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY AT THE FBI REMEMBERS WHAT HAPPENED HERE. >> SO THE BUREAU UNDERWENT A SWEEPING INVESTIGATION FROM ITS OWN WATCHDOG, THE FBI INSPECTOR GENERAL. AND YESTERDAY, THE RESULTS OF THAT INVESTIGATION BECAME PUBLIC. ABC'S ALIX MALLIN COVERS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. HE'S BEEN READING THROUGH ALL THIS. ALEX, WHAT DID THESE INVESTIGATORS FIND? >> YES, THIS IS THE INSPECTOR GENERAL, MICHAEL HOROWITZ, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S LEAD INSPECTOR GENERAL. >> AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT HE REVIEWED WAS AN AUDIT OF THE SIX MONTHS AFTER THE LARRY NASSAR REPORT WAS RELEASED. SO THIS WAS ALL AFTER ALL THAT PUBLIC SCRUTINY AND CRITICISM WAS FACING THE FBI AND AFTER IT, IT ALSO IMPLEMENTED A LOT OF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE INSPECTOR GENERAL TO CHANGE ITS BEHAVIOR, TO CHANGE ITS POLICIES, TO CHANGE ITS TRAINING. AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL FOUND WAS THE FBI WAS STILL NOT FOLLOWING THE LETTER OF THE POLICY AND THE LAW IN INVESTIGATING PROPERLY THESE CLAIMS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE CONCERNS THAT LED US TO FLAG INCIDENTS INCLUDED A LACK OF RECENT INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITY, LACK OF LOGICAL INVESTIGATIVE STEPS, NOT REPORTING SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE TO APPROPRIATE STATE, LOCAL, TRIBAL AND TERRITORIAL AGENCIES LEADS THAT WEREN'T APPROPRIATELY COVERED, AND INSTANCES OF SUBSTANTIAL NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FBI POLICIES. NOW, WHAT THEY DID IS IN THAT SIX MONTH SPAN, BRAD, THERE WERE ABOUT 4000 TOTAL CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE CASES OPENED BY THE FBI. THEY TOOK RANDOMLY 327 AND FOUND 42 OF THOSE CASES OF THOSE 327 CASES THAT THEY AUDITED. THEY WERE SO INSUFFICIENTLY HANDLED THAT THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FBI AND SAY, HEY, YOU REALLY HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. KIDS MIGHT BE IN DANGER IN THESE CASES, JUST LIKE THE LARRY NASSAR CASES. SO THAT'S 13%. AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT BIG OF A NUMBER. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE VICTIMS, THE VOICES WHO MAY BE ACTIVELY IGNORED AND MAY STILL BE SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF ABUSER. IT'S A STAGGERING FIGURE AND A REAL ANOTHER BLACK EYE FOR THE FBI AT A TIME WHERE IT'S REALLY TRYING TO CLEAN UP ITS REPUTATION. AFTER THE NASSAR CASE. I WAS GOING TO SAY, YOU SAID THERE'S SORT OF ONLY A PROPORTION OF CASES THAT THEY EVEN LOOKED AT. SO THAT MEANS THAT IN ADDITION TO THOSE 40 SOMETHING, THAT MEANS THAT THERE'S POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS MORE. >> WHAT SORT OF STUFF IS BEING MISSED? LIKE, ARE THERE EXAMPLES OF WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN COMING UP SHORT? >> WELL, IN ONE CASE, THAT'S REALLY DISTURBING. >> FBI AGENTS WERE FOUND TO HAVE FAILED TO FOLLOW UP ON THESE ALLEGATIONS THAT INVOLVED ABUSE AGAINST A MINOR BY A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER AFTER THEY URGED THE FBI TO FOLLOW, THEY ENDED UP FINDING OUT THAT THIS OFFENDER ACTUALLY VICTIMIZED ANOTHER ADDITIONAL MINOR FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 15 MONTHS AFTER THEY RECEIVED THAT INITIAL TIP. AND, BRAD, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THAT'S PARTICULARLY DISTURBING IS THAT IN THE LARRY NASSAR CASE, THE FBI TOOK 15 MONTHS TO ACTUALLY INITIATE ITS PROPER INVESTIGATION AND INDICT HIM. THAT WAS 15 MONTHS AFTER THEY RECEIVED THAT INITIAL TIP. SO IT'S JUST THE KIND OF EERIE NATURE OF THIS REPORT WHERE IT'S NOT JUST THOSE HIGH PROFILE INSTANCES WHERE THESE THINGS WERE HAPPENING, WHERE GYMNASTS WERE FACING ABUSE, BUT IT'S THIS MINOR ALSO THAT WE DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF AND WHO, YOU KNOW, THEIR ABUSER DID FACE JUSTICE ULTIMATELY. BUT HOW MANY MONTHS WERE THEY OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, FACING THAT ABUSE ISN'T THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE LARRY NASSAR CASE. >> RIGHT. LIKE EVENTUAL JUSTICE. BUT AT THE COST OF HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE MEANTIME. >> YEAH. AND ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS FOUND IN THIS REPORT, BRAD, IS THAT FBI AGENTS IN GENERAL, THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REPORT ANY TIME THEY GET ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE AGAINST CHILDREN TO, YOU KNOW, STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND ALSO TO SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 327 CASES THAT THEY ACTUALLY AUDITED, THEY FOUND THAT IN 47% OF THE INSTANCES THAT THEY REVIEWED, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY EVIDENCE. FBI EMPLOYEES PROPERLY DID REPORT THOSE ALLEGATIONS TO STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. AND IN 50% OF THE CASES, HALF THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE. THEY REPORTED THE ALLEGATIONS TO SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES. NOW, THE FBI KIND OF EXPLAINS THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT IT'S MORE OF A LAPSE IN PAPERWORK. THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH THESE AGENCIES ALL THE TIME. MAYBE OUR AGENTS DON'T SPECIFICALLY IT. BUT ON THIS BRIEFING CALL WITH REPORTERS YESTERDAY, BRAD, THEY DID ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT FAILURES THAT ARE GOING TO NEED TO BE ADDRESSED DOWN THE LINE. >> WHAT HAS BEEN THE REACTION? FIRST OF ALL, I'M JUST THINKING FROM THESE LIKE THESE GYMNASTS ,THEIR FAMILIES THAT WERE KIND OF THE IMPETUS FOR THIS ENTIRE REVIEW. >> WHAT ARE THEY SAYING? YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN CALLING FOR SYSTEMIC CHANGE IN THE FBI AS A RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. AND THEY ARE AGAIN, OUT TODAY AFTER REVIEWING THIS REPORT SAYING THAT IT IS UP TO CONGRESS TO CHANGE THE LAWS, TO CHANGE THE POLICIES OF THE FBI. AND I WILL NOTE, BRAD, THAT THE SENATE JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN DID ANNOUNCE YESTERDAY THAT HE IS GOING TO BE CALLING FBI LEADERSHIP TO TESTIFYING IN THE COMING WEEKS ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE ISSUED BY, THE IG IN THIS REPORT, AND WHY THE FBI SEEMINGLY WASN'T FOLLOWED. THE INITIAL SOME OF THE INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE FROM THE LARRY NASSAR REPORT, IT PROMISES TO BE, YOU KNOW, YET ANOTHER DRAMATIC HEARING, KIND OF LIKE THE ONE THAT WE SAW IN 2021. >> IN THE MEANTIME, THE FBI SAYING ANY MISTAKE OR DEFICIENCY IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE FBI RECOGNIZES THAT. BUT THEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW HIGH PROFILE GYMNASTS WERE. SOME SOME OF THEM ARE OLYMPIC MEDALIST WHO ARE COMING FORWARD AND I THINK EVEN AFTER THERE WAS ALL THIS SCRUTINY ON THE BUREAU THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH A LOT LESS VOICE WERE STILL NOT GETTING THE ATTENTION THAT THEY DESERVED. THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE FBI WATCHDOG. ALL RIGHT. ALEX MATLIN COVERING THE DOJ. THANKS SO MUCH. THANKS, BRAD. OKAY. ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK. YOU KNOW WHAT WATER ENGINEERS ALWAYS SAY YOU'RE . >> YOU DO, IF YOU DON'T. ONE LAST THING IS NEXT. AND ONE LAST THING EVERYONE IN GERMANY REMEMBERS WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THE BERLIN WALL CAME DOWN. WELL, ALONG THE STATE LINE, CALIFORNIA AND OREGON. THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT. IT'S A FISH. YESTERDAY, DEMOLITION WORKERS REACHED TWO HUGE DAMS THAT HAVE BEEN BLOCKING OFF PARTS OF THE KLAMATH RIVER, MEANING AS OF THIS MORNING, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A CENTURY. SALMON ABLE TO SWIM FREELY THROUGH THIS KEY WATERWAY. THIS IS THE LARGEST DAM-OLITION SO FAR IN WHAT'S REALLY BECOME A NATIONWIDE TO RESTORE RIVERS TO THEIR HISTORIC PATHS. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO THE ADVOCACY GROUP AMERICAN RIVERS, MORE THAN A THOUSAND DAMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN APART IN THE LAST 25 YEARS ALONE. BUT WHY? AFTER ALL, DAMS CAN PROVIDE CLEAN, RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY, AND THEY HELPED SET ASIDE WATER IN IN CASE OF A DROUGHT. SOME OF THE PEOPLE TAKING THIS THE HARDEST ARE ALSO THOSE WHO HAVE BOUGHT HOMES ALONG LAKE THAT ARE NOW ABOUT TO START DRYING OUT. WATER STARTS FLOWING AGAIN. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, NATIVE AMERICAN HAVE LONG SAID THESE DAMS WERE BUILT WITHOUT THEIR INPUT AND, THAT THEY DEPRIVED THEM OF ONE OF THEIR NATURAL LIFELINES, THE CHINOOK SALMON PEOPLE, THE SALMON, THE RIVER. THAT'S. THAT'S OUR HIGHWAY. THAT'S OUR RIVER. THAT'S GROCERY STORE. MOTHER EARTH GAVE US THAT. AND AGAIN IT'S -- IT'S ABOUT RESPECT. >> IT'S ABOUT BALANCE. THESE DAMS INSTALLED BY POWER MADE NATIVE LAND LESS VALUABLE. A WEAKENED WILDLIFE POPULATION THAT WAITS FOR SALMON TO MIGRATE EVERY YEAR AND IN 2000 TO LOW RIVER LEVELS LED TO A HUGE BACTERIAL OUTBREAK. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT NOW ACKNOWLEDGES THAT MANY OF THESE DAMS HAS DEVASTATED NATIVE COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY. WHEN WE LOOK AT ALL THE AREAS OF FEDERAL INDIAN POLICY IN THIS COUNTRY, ONE OF WHICH WERE DAMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WITHOUT EVER ONCE CONSULTING TRIBES ABOUT WHAT IT MEANT TO THEIR LIVES OR THEIR CULTURES. >> IN SOME WAYS, THOUGH, TEARING DOWN THIS DAM WALL IS THE EASY PART. THE TOUGH PART WILL BE RESTORING RIVERBANKS THAT HAVE DRIED UP FOR THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS. THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AFTER THIS DEMOLITION TO HELP PLANT SEEDS THAT RESTORE VEGETATION AND HEAL THE ECOSYSTEM. NATIVE TRIBES HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN SAVING OF SEEDS. THAT'S BILLION WITH A B FOR THIS MOMENT. SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN ASKED, WHY SPEND ALL THIS MONEY, THOUGH? WHY NOT JUST, SURE, LET THE WATER RUN, BUT LET NATURE RUN ITS COURSE? THE ANSWER IS THAT WE INTERFERED WITH NATURE A CENTURY AGO. WE DIDN'T ALLOW IT TO TAKE ITS COURSE. SO NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE IT RIGHT QUICKLY. WILDLIFE EXPERTS SAY IT WON'T TAKE TOO LONG BEFORE THE SALMON START RE COLONIZING WHAT'S THEIRS AND JUST GOING SWIMMINGLY UP THERE IN OREGON NOW, VERY SOPHISTICATED, VERY DAM.

FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP BREAKS RANK WITH SOME MEMBERS OF HIS PARTY. IF ELECTED, THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE IS NOW VOWING TO MAKE IVF TREATMENT FREE. WHAT HE'S SAYING ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.

MEGHAN FEEDING LITTLES IS HERE WITH HER TOP HACKS. BUT WE BEGIN WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS LAYING OUT HER TOP PRIORITIES, HER FIRST TV INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. SPEAKING WITH CNN, HIRING HARRIS AND RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ LAID OUT PLANS THE POTENTIAL FIRST DAY IN OFFICE AND RESPONDED TO CRITICISM ABOUT POLICY SHIFTS AND MISLEADING STATEMENTS. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, HARRIS DESCRIBED THE SURPRISE MOMENT. PRESIDENT BIDEN TOLD HER HE WAS DROPPING OUT. ABC NEWS CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE HAS MORE. >> NEARLY SIX WEEKS INTO HER CAMPAIGN, KAMALA HARRIS OVERNIGHT FORCED TO EXPLAIN HER POLICY SHIFTS. BUT ARGUING ONE THING HAS NOT CHANGED. I THINK THE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND MOST SIGNIFICANT ASPECT OF MY POLICY PERSPECTIVE AND DECISIONS IS MY VALUES NOT CHANGED. ASKED IF SHE STILL WANTS TO BAN FRACKING SOMETHING, SHE'D VOWED IN 2019, HARRIS SAYING THIS. >> NO AND I MADE THAT CLEAR ON THE DEBATE STAGE IN 2020 THAT I WOULD NOT BAN FRACKING. AS VICE PRESIDENT DID NOT BAN FRACKING. AS PRESIDENT, I WILL NOT BAN FRACKING. AND ON WHETHER SHE STANDS BY HER 2019 SUPPORT FOR DECRIMINALIZING ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS. >> I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCES. WE HAVE LAWS THAT HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED AND ENFORCED. RUNNING MATE TIM WALZ FORCED TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS CRITICIZED AS HIS MISLEADING STATEMENTS ABOUT HIS MILITARY SERVICE AND HIS FAMILY'S STRUGGLE WITH INFERTILITY. >> I THINK PEOPLE KNOW WHO I AM. THEY KNOW THAT RECORD. >> THEY'VE SEEN THAT. I'VE TAUGHT THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS. I'VE BEEN OUT THERE AND I WON'T APOLOGIZE FOR SPEAKING PASSIONATELY, WHETHER IT'S GUNS IN SCHOOLS, PROTECTING OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE IS RECALLING THAT SURPRISE SUNDAY MORNING PHONE CALL FROM THE PRESIDENT, INFORMING HER HE WAS DROPPING OUT OF THE RACE. >> MY FAMILY WAS STAYING WITH US AND INCLUDING MY BABY NIECES. AND WE HAD JUST HAD PANCAKES. AND WE WERE SITTING DOWN TO DO A PUZZLE AND THE PHONE RANG AND IT WAS JOE BIDEN. I ASKED HIM, ARE YOU SURE? AND I SAID, YES. AND THEN THAT'S HOW I LEARNED ABOUT IT. >> ASKED IF HE OFFERED ENDORSEMENT THEN OR IF SHE ASKED FOR IT, HARRIS SAYING ONLY HE WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HE WAS GOING TO SUPPORT ME. >> NOW, 40 DAYS LATER, HARRIS IS SURGING IN THE POLLS, NARROWLY LEADING DONALD TRUMP NATIONALLY. ASKED WHAT SHE WOULD DO ON DAY ONE. >> HARRIS LIGHT ON SPECIFICS. DAY ONE, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT ONE IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN FOR WHAT I CALL OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. I'VE ALREADY LAID OUT A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS THAT REGARD, WHICH INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESSES. >> WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN FAMILIES. SHE'S ADAMANT IN DEFENDING HER AND BIDEN'S RECORD ON THE ECONOMY, BUT CONCEDES THERE'S MORE TO DO, BUT THAT'S GOOD WORK. HOPING TO TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS. HARRIS SUGGESTING IF ELECTED, SHE WOULD APPOINT A REPUBLICAN TO HER CABINET. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE PEOPLE AT THE TABLE. AND WHEN SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE THAT DIFFERENT VIEWS, DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO HAVE A MEMBER OF CABINET WHO WAS A REPUBLICAN. AND WITH JUST 11 DAYS TO GO UNTIL DEBATE, HARRIS PREPARING FOR HER FIRST FACE OFF WITH DONALD TRUMP AND THEIR FIRST FACE TO FACE MEETING EVER. ASKED ABOUT TRUMP'S ATTACKS ON HER RACE AND IDENTITY. SAME OLD TIRED PLAYBOOK. >> NEXT QUESTION, PLEASE. IT'S CLEAR HER RACE AND GENDER IS SOMETHING HARRIS WOULD RATHER NOT DWELL ON, THOUGH THE HISTORIC NATURE OF HER NOMINATION CLEARLY NOT LOST ON HER EITHER. WHEN ASKED THAT VIRAL IMAGE OF HER GREAT NIECE WATCHING HER AT THE CONVENTION. I AM RUNNING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT I AM THE BEST PERSON TO DO THIS JOB AT THIS MOMENT FOR ALL AMERICANS, REGARDLESS OF RACE AND GENDER. BUT I DID SEE THAT PHOTOGRAPH AND I WAS DEEPLY TOUCHED BY IT. AND YOU'RE RIGHT, SHE'S AT THE BACK OF HER HEAD, TWO LITTLE BRAIDS AND THEN I'M IN THE FRONT OF THE PHOTOGRAPH, OBVIOUSLY SPEAKING. AND IT'S VERY HUMBLING. >> ABC'S CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. MARY, DURING HER CAMPAIGN EVENTS, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS THIS IMPRESSION THAT HER ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE A FRESH START. BUT POLICIES IN HER INTERVIEW SOUNDED VERY FAMILIAR. SO ARE THERE ANY REAL DIFFERENCES COMPARED TO WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS SELLING ON THE TRAIL. WELL, THEN WE STILL AREN'T HEARING HER REALLY OFFER, YOU KNOW, THAT MUCH DAYLIGHT BETWEEN HER POLICIES AND WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN DOING WHAT THE PRESIDENT WAS PROMISING TO DO FORWARD. SHE HAS YET FULLY TO REALLY ARTICULATE HOW HER AGENDA WOULD DIFFER. WHAT IS DIFFERENT HERE, THOUGH, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, IS THE TONE AND THE FACT THAT SHE IS PROMISING TO TURN THE PAGE. IT IS CLEAR SHE EAGER TO DO THAT WHILE SHE IS DEFENDING AND VERY MUCH RUNNING ON HER RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH THE PRESIDENT. SHE'S VOWING TO KEEP THAT WORK AND THAT MOMENTUM GOING FORWARD, BUT ALSO VOWING TO TURN THE PAGE. AND BY THAT I THINK SHE MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR FOR A FRESH GENERATION, FOR A NEW TEAM TO COME IN. YES. CARRY ON THE MANTLE OF BIDEN'S WORK, BUT TO DO IT IN HER OWN WAY. BUT YOU ARE NOT WRONG. SHE HAS BEEN VERY LIGHT ON SPECIFICS. AND I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HEAR HER BEING PRESSED ABOUT. OF COURSE. UP NEXT, IN JUST ABOUT 11 DAYS NOW ON THAT DEBATE STAGE HERE ON ABC NEWS ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, DIANE AND MARY, THE WAR IN GAZA IS A TOPIC THAT HAS DIVIDED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. IN THIS INTERVIEW, IT SOUNDS LIKE HARRIS PLANS TO KEEP THE SAME POLICIES IN PLACE. SO IS SHE ALIENATING PROGRESSIVES IN HER PARTY WITH THAT PLAN? LOOK, SHE CERTAINLY IS FACING THE SAME KIND OF PRESSURE THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS BEEN FACING. I MEAN, JUST AT HER RALLY HERE LAST NIGHT IN SAVANNAH, SHE FACED AGAIN, PROTESTERS URGING HER TO DO MORE TO ADDRESS THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AND THE SUFFERING IN GAZA. THIS IS AN AREA WHERE WE HAVE SEEN A BIT OF A DIFFERENC AND CERTAINLY A SHIFT IN TONE FROM THE PRESIDENT. SHE IS MORE FORCEFUL IN COMING OUT AND SPEAKING ABOUT THE NEED TO DO MORE TO TURN TO ADDRESS THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, THE SUFFERING THAT WE ARE SEEING IN GAZA. BUT -- BUT, NO, ON A POLICY PERSPECTIVE, LOOK, SHE IS NOT, YOU KNOW, PROMISING TO CHANGE ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES WHEN IT COMES TO ARMS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED TO ISRAEL. SHE HAS BEEN ADAMANT AND STEADFAST IN HER FOR ISRAEL'S. IT'S CERTAINLY THEIR RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF, BUT YET HAS ALSO SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THE NEED TO GET THIS DEAL DONE, TO GET THAT HOSTAGE DEAL DONE. AND OF COURSE, THAT IS WHAT PROGRESSIVES ARE DEMANDING ,THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN BE ABLE TO DELIVER ON HIS PROMISES TO END THIS WAR. SHE IS VOWING TO DO THAT, TO CONTINUE TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT TO GET A CEASEFIRE DEAL DONE AND TO BRING THE HOSTAGES HOME. DIANE. AND MARY, BASED ON THE REACTION YOU'RE HEARING SO FAR, WHAT KIND OF AN IMPACT DO YOU THINK THIS INTERVIEW WILL HAVE ON THE CAMPAIGN? >> WELL, CERTAINLY, LOOK, I THINK I THINK THIS WAS A DO NO HARM KIND OF INTERVIEW FOR KAMALA HARRIS. SHE SUCCEEDED IN THE FACT THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THIS INTERVIEW DONE, SHE DIDN'T MAKE ANY BIG WAVES, DIDN'T MAKE ANY BIG HEADLINES. BUT THAT ALSO IS CONSIDERED A WIN. YOU KNOW, IN MANY WAYS WAS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE TO DO THIS INTERVIEW. SHE CAN NOW CHECK THAT BOX AND. LOOK AHEAD. SHE WAS METHODICAL IN HER ANSWERS. SHE SHE SHE YOU WAS FORCED TO DEFEND THOSE SHIFTS, SHIFTING STANCES FROM THE LAST TIME SHE RAN PRESIDENT. I THINK IT WAS SORT OF A FAMILIAR TONE FROM A LOT OF THAT THAT AMERICANS FAMILIAR WITH, YOU KNOW, HER GOING BACK TO THOSE TALKING POINTS, TICKING THROUGH HER POSITIONS. BUT CERTAINLY SHE WAS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE TO DO THAT. SHE HAS NOW DONE THAT AND SHE CAN GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT BIG CHALLENGE, DIANE. ALL RIGHT. AND WE KNOW THAT WILL BE THE DEBATE. ABC NEWS CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE. THANKS, MARY MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MAKING A BOLD NEW CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO MAKE IVF FREE IF HE IS ELECTED. HE VOWED TO MAKE EITHER THE GOVERNMENT OR INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY FOR THE FERTILITY TREATMENT DURING A TOWN HALL IN WISCONSIN. NOW DEMOCRATS ARE CRITICIZING HIM, NOT GIVING ANY DETAILS ON HOW HE WILL DO THAT. ABC SELINA WANG HAS MORE FROM LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN. >> DONALD TRUMP FLOATS A STRIKING NEW PROPOSAL AS HE SUDDENLY TRIES TO REBRAND HIMSELF ON WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, AN ISSUE THAT HE KNOWS COULD HURT HIM AT THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER. TRUMP CLAIMING THAT HE WOULD MAKE IN FERTILIZATION FREE IF ELECTED WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY SPECIFICS ON HOW HE WOULD PAY FOR THIS COSTLY PLAN OR ENACT IT. >> UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, YOUR GOVERNMENT WILL PAY FOR. ALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL BE MANDATED TO PAY FOR ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED IVF TREATMENT. >> IVF CAN COST TENS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, WITH NEARLY 90,000 BABIES BORN IN THE U.S. THROUGH FERTILITY TREATMENTS EACH YEAR. >> WE WANT TO PRODUCE BABIES IN THIS COUNTRY, RIGHT? WE WANT TO PRODUCE BABIES. >> VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN TELLING ABC NEWS DONALD OWN PLATFORM COULD EFFECTIVELY BAN IVF AND ABORTION NATIONWIDE. TRUMP LIES AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE, THAN HE BREATHES. BUT VOTERS AREN'T STUPID. TRUMP MAKING THIS PROPOSAL DESPITE REPEATEDLY BRAGGING ABOUT APPOINTING THREE OF THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES WHO OVERTURNED ROE VERSUS WADE ,OPENING THE DOOR TO NEW RESTRICTIONS FOR FERTILITY TREATMENTS. WE BROKE ROE V. WADE AND WE DID SOMETHING THAT NOBODY THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. >> WE GAVE IT BACK TO THE STATES. EARLIER THIS YEAR, ALABAMA'S SUPREME COURT DECLARED FROZEN EMBRYOS HUMAN BEINGS IN TO FOR RIGHTS, CAUSING FERTILITY CLINICS ACROSS THE STATE TO SHUT DOWN FOR WEEKS. A NEW POLL FINDING HARRIS HAS A 16 POINT ADVANTAGE OVER TRUMP ON WHO VOTERS TRUST MORE TO HANDLE THE ISSUE OF ABORTION AND HIS OWN HOME STATE OF FLORIDA. TRUMP NOW SAYING HE OPPOSES THE STATE'S BAN ON ABORTION AT SIX WEEKS BEFORE MOST WOMEN EVEN KNOW THEY'RE PREGNANT. >> I THINK THE SIX WEEK IS TOO SHORT. IT HAS TO BE MORE TIME AND SO THAT'S AND I TOLD THEM THAT I WANT MORE WEEKS. >> TRUMP CONTRADICTING HIS OWN STATEMENTS THAT THE ISSUE OF ABORTION SHOULD BE LEFT THE STATES. BUT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN ATTEMPTING TO APPEASE HIS ANTI-ABORTION BASE, LATER SAYING HE HAS NOT YET DECIDED HOW HE WILL VOTE. HE SIMPLY REITERATED THAT HE BELIEVES SIX WEEKS IS TOO SHORT. >> OVER THE YEARS DONALD TRUMP HAS FLIP FLOPPED ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION, BUT HIS FOCUS ON IS CLEARLY AN ATTEMPT TO BLUNT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS' THAT HE WOULD RIP AWAY WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOMS. DIANE, ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG . >> 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, 9:00 EASTERN.

WHEREVER, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE'RE TO TAKE YOU THERE. >> YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE. >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE FOR US. IT IS TIME FROM A SET OF METHODS WHERE I SHOW YOU SOME OF MY FAVORITE HACKS TO MAKE LIFE A LITTLE EASIER. AND TODAY WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST HERE TO HELP SAVE US SOME TIME AND STRESS WHEN PACKING SCHOOL LUNCHES. CO-FOUNDER OF FEEDING LITTLES REGISTERED NUTRITIONIST MEGAN MCNAMEE IS HERE TO SHOW US HOW IT'S DONE. MEGAN, I'M SO EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU. AND I'M SURE SO MANY PARENTS RIGHT NOW ARE WAITING TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY BECAUSE IT CAN BE TOUGH IN THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE MORNING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HECK AM I GOING TO PUT IN THIS LUNCHBOX. SO I KNOW THAT YOU SPECIALIZE IN MATERNAL AND CHILD NUTRITION. SO LET'S START THERE. RIGHT? WE ALL WANT KIDS EATING FRUITS AND VEGGIES, BUT IF YOU HAVE A PICKY EATER, HOW DO YOU GET THEM EAT THAT AT SCHOOL WHEN YOU'RE NOT EVEN THERE. BUT SO SCHOOL LUNCH IS A LITTLE TOUGH BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE THERE. BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU TAP INTO LUNCH AND YOU CAN ONLY DO YOUR BEST AND PUTTING IN SOME BALANCE AND EXPOSURE AND VARIETY EVERY TIME YOU PACK. BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK A LOT OF PARENTS MISS. THEY THINK THAT IT HAS TO BE COLORFUL WITH LIKE A RAINBOW AND EVERY SINGLE LUNCH OR THAT THEY HAVE TO DO, YOU KNOW GOOGLY OR A FUNNY SHAPE TO MAKE THEIR KID EAT IT ONCE IT CAN BE SIMPLE. WE JUST RECOMMEND FOLLOWING KIND OF A METHOD TO MAKING SURE THAT IT'S BALANCED. >> SO YOU WANT A CARBOHYDRATE APPROACH BUYING A FRUIT, A VEGGIE, AND THEN EITHER A DIP OR A CHIP OR SOME SORT OF DESSERT IN THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S BALANCED AND THEY'RE GIVING THAT EXPOSURE TO ALL THOSE DIFFERENT FOODS. >> AND SO WHAT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE IT BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE I KNOW I'M SENDING THIS, YOU KNOW, LUNCHBOX FULL OF STUFF AND. I KNOW THE BROCCOLI IS COMING BACK OR THE CARROTS ARE GOING TO BE UNEATEN. RIGHT. >> DIP THE DESSERT PART THAT'S GOING TO BE GONE. SO THAT CAN BE FRUSTRATING. >> YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE FOOD, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. ONE THING YOU CAN DO AND I ACTUALLY CAN SHOW YOU IN THIS BOX HERE, YOU CAN SEE THIS. I DON'T HAVE A SPECIAL OVERHEAD CAMERA IN MY HOUSE. UNFORTUNATELY. >> BUT WE HAVE ONE PIECE OF BREAD HERE, ONE PIECE. THAT'S IT. AND THAT'S EXPOSURE TO BELL PEPPER. AND THEN IF THEY DON'T EAT IT, IT'S ONLY ONE BELL PEPPER WASTED. NOW, MIND YOU, IF THE LUNCH COMES BACK, HOLDS. YOU KEPT IT ON. YOU KNOW, TWO ICE PACKS RECOMMEND LIKE A THIN ICE PACK ON THE TOP IN THE BOTTOM IF IT STILL COMES BACK HOLD AND IT IS STILL SAFE TO EAT SO IT CAN BE SOMETHING YOU'RE TAKING ALSO EATS AFTER SCHOOL IF THEY'RE INTERESTED OR IF IT WANTS TO BE YOUR SNACK AFTER THE END OF THE DAY, YOU YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE WASTED IF IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN THE SCAVENGER THAT GOES THROUGH MY KID'S LUNCHBOX AND EATS WHAT'S LEFTOVER. SO I'M GLAD THAT THAT'S A SAFE THING TO DO. TALK TO ME ABOUT LEFTOVERS, TOO, BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU CAN JUST UTILIZE LEFTOVERS. SO WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE LEFTOVERS TO SERVE FOR LUNCH AND ANY TIPS TO SAVE ON PREP TIME THERE? >> YES I LIKE PACKING AT NIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE I LIKE MAKING FOOD AND GETTING THAT KITCHEN MESSY ALL AT ONCE AND THEN POPPING IT INTO THE LUNCH BOX AND BEING DONE WITH IT. THEN IT'S GOING INTO THE FRIDGE AND THE NEXT DAY TAKE IT OUT IT ON THE ICE STACKS AND SO FORTH. I ONLY DIRTY MY KITCHEN ONE TIME AND THEN I CAN USE ANYTHING THAT I'M PREPPING FOR DINNER OR ANY LEFTOVERS FOR DINNER TO POP IN THE LUNCHBOX. SO I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE HERE. >> SO THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT MY KIDS ARE HAVING TODAY. IT'S BOTH MY PASTA, SOME MEATBALLS AND BLUEBERRIES AND CARROT, AND THERE'S A LITTLE MARINARA SAUCE IN THE MIDDLE FOR MY KIDS. LITERALLY TAKE THE 40%. AND THEY LOVE THIS. THIS IS ONE OF THEIR FAVORITES. IT'S NOT COMPLICATED. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I MADE FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT, AND I CAN LITERALLY POP IN, SERVE COLD AND GIVE TO THEM FOR LUNCH THE NEXT DAY. AGAIN, IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT FORMULA TO JUST THAT BALANCE OF NUTRIENTS, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SUPER COMPLICATED. THAT IS SO CREATIVE. ONE THE SERVE COLD PART, I'M NOT SURE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT AND THE SAUCE AS A DIP. I LOVE THAT. THEN AS YOU PEELING AND CUTTING THINGS FOR DINNER, YOU JUST DO IT RIGHT IN THE LUNCHBOX. >> WE GO TO SCHOOL REALLY WELL. YOU IS NO WAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE LUNCHES IN THE MORNING. OH, YEAH, EXACTLY. IT JUST WOULDN'T HAPPEN. SO I HAVE TO DO IT AT NIGHT AND IT STAYS REALLY NICE? ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A LUNCHBOX. I HAVE MULTIPLE CONTAINERS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, SEALED WHEN YOU SHUT THE BOX. IT ACTUALLY STAYS REALLY WELL UNTIL NEXT THING. >> ALL RIGHT. ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU, MEGAN. I STILL HAVE MEMORIES OF BITING INTO MY TURKEY TOMATO SANDWICH AS A KID, WHICH I LOVED FOR SOME REASON. >> BUT ONE SIDE OF THE BREAD WAS ALWAYS SOGGY BY LUNCH HOW DO YOU PREVENT YOUR SANDWICHES FROM BECOMING THAT KIND OF MUSHY, SOGGY TEXTURE? >> YES, THAT'S SUCH A GREAT, GREAT QUESTION, BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF US RELATE TO THAT SANDWICH SHOULD GET SOGGY FROM ME, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MOISTURE IN THE INGREDIENTS INSIDE. IF THAT TOMATO, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NEEDED, IS PRETTY JUICY. SO IT SOUNDS REALLY COUNTERINTUITIVE, BUT ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO IS PUT THE SPREAD ON BOTH SIDES OF, THE SANDWICH. SO ON BOTH PIECES OF BREAD, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WITH THAT TURKEY, THIS IS SUNFLOWER SEED BUTTER. I PUT IT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BREAD. THEN WHEN I ADD SMASHED RASPBERRIES, WHICH BY THE WAY, IS SO IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED THIS, IT'S REALLY TASTY. >> SMASH UP SOME RASPBERRIES WITH A FORK ON THE BREAD, AND THEN WHEN YOU SEAL IT TOGETHER, THAT BREAD DOESN'T SOGGY, THE RASPBERRIES DON'T GO THROUGH BECAUSE THAT'S SUNFLOWER SEED. BUTTER IS CREATING NICE LITTLE LAYER. >> OKAY, WAIT ONE. I LOVE THE TIP FOR THIS. NO SOGGY BREAD, BUT SMASH RASPBERRIES, IT'S KIND OF LIKE A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY, BUT WITHOUT ALL THE EXTRA SUGAR THAT OFTEN COMES IN THE JELLY WE BUY AT THE STORE. >> WELL, AND YOU KNOW, JELLY IS GREAT, TOO, BUT IT'S SO TASTY, LIKE IT'S DELICIOUS AND. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO TRY FRUIT. AND IF YOU'RE A PBJ FAN, IS THE NEXT TWIST ON IT. IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT I EAT ALL THE TIME. I LOVE IT AND MY KIDS LOVE IT. >> IT'S, YOU KNOW, KILLING MULTIPLE BIRDS, ONE STONE HERE. I AM GOING TO TRY THAT ONE. MEGHAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S ALWAYS SO GREAT TO TALK TO YOU. I LOVE YOUR IDEAS. >> THANK YOU. BIG HUGS TO JUDY AS WELL FOR, US THE OTHER DUO AS PART OF FEEDING LITTLES.

THE MOST ALL NATURAL WAY TO PROTECT YOURSINST MOSQUITOES CREATE A BARRIER STAYINRS, WEARING CLOTHING USING MOSQUITO NETS. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO REPELLENTS WHICH ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT,WG EPA REGISTERED REPEL. U CAN SOMETIMES SEE ON A BOTTLE IF YOU LOOK AT A STORE AND THEY MIGHT SAY ON THE BACK REGISTERED WITH THE EPA, OR YOU CAN EVEN GO ONLINE TO THE RON AGENCY'S WEBSITE AND LOOK U THOSE INGREDIENTS. THESE ARE REPELLENTS THAT MAY HAVE INGREDIENTS SUCH AS DE PMD, OR OIL OF LEMON EUCALYPTUS . THERE OTHER PRODUCTS THAT MAY CONTAIN SOMETHING LIKE CITRONELLA PEPPERMINT OIL, CINNAMON OIL. THEY SMELL GREAT, BHEY'RE NOTS EFFECTIVE. SO IT'S IMPOT. YOU LOOK AT EPA REGISTERED, YOU USE THE REPELLENT. EXACTLY AS DIRECTED. YOU DON'T PUT THEM OEN SKIN AND SUNSCREEN FIRST.

AND IT'S TIME NOW FOR OUR LY SEGMENT. BUT TELL IT LIKE IS. WE'RE ABC NEWS DR. ALOK PATEL PATEL SHA HEALTH ADVICE ON THE TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU AND TODS ANSWERING SOME OF YOUR QUESTI SO DR. PATEL, LET'S SITH THESE CONCERNS OVER MOSQUITO-BORNE ILLNESSES ERIELLE JUST MED, BECAUSE OUR FIRST QUESTION COMES FROM GRACE, WHO ASKS T ALL NATURAL OR DIY MOSQUITO REPELLENT YOU CAN MAK AT HOME. >> POPULAR QUESTION AND A TIMELY ONE, THE MOST ALL NATURAL WAY TO PROTECT SELF G INDO WEARING CLOTHING USING MOSQUITO NETS. BU IT COMES TO REPELLENTS WHICH ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, YONT TO MAKE, YOU ARE USING EPA REGISTERE REPELLENTS YOU CAN SOMETIMES SEE ON A LE. IF YOU LOOK AT A STO AND YOU MIGHT SEE ON THE BACK REGISTERED WITH THE EPA, OR YOU CAN EVEN GO ONLINE TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTE AGENCY'S WEBSITE AND LOOK UP THOSE INGREDIENTS.THESE ARE REPY HAVE INGREDIENTS SUCH AS DEET, PMD, OR OIL OF LEMON EUCALY THERE ARE OTHER PRODUCTS THAT MAY CONTAIN SOMETHING L CITRONELLA, PEPPERMINT OIL, CINNAMON OIL. THEY SMELL GREAT. >> THEY'RE NOT AS EFFECTIVE. RTANT YOU LOOK AT EPA REGD, YOU USE THE REPELLENT EXACTLY AS DIRECTED. YOU DON'T PUT THEM ON BROKEN SKINREEN FIRST. SOMETIMES THOSEDUCTS LIKE THOSE FANCY, THEY MAY SMELL GREAT, BUT THEY'RE NOT THAT EFFECTIVE AT KEEPING MOSQUITOES AWAY. I ALSO TO ASK YOU ABOUT AN UNPUBLISHED STUDY THAT FOUND THAT SING ON WEEKENDS CAN REDUCE THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF WEEKDAYS SLEEP LOSS, LOWERING THE RISK OF HE DISEASE BY UP TO 20%. NOW, THIS HAS YET TO BE VETTED THROUGH THE NORMALTIFIC PROCESS, BUT WANTED TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THE HEADLINE. >> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS, I FEEL LIKE I CAN ALREADY SEE WHEELS TURNING YOUR HEAD NOW. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU SLEEP LIKE I'M THIS IS UNPUBLISHED STUDY, MEANING IT'S BEEN PEER REVIEWED AS YOU MENTIONED FROM THE SOCIETY OF CONGRESS. AND ID FIND THAT, YOU KNOW ,PEOPLE WHO ARE SLEEP DEPRIVED WHY CATCH UP ON SLEEP OVER THE WEE, OVER TIME, IT CO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE. NOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF ASTERISKS. NUMBER ONE, THE STUDY DID NOT EXACTLYINE HOW MUCH SLEEP PEOPLE NEEDED, QUOTCH UP ON ON WEEKENDS TO RECEIVE THESE BENEFITS. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION T THIS STUDY, THE AUTHORS DEFINESA 7 HOURS OF SLEEP, WHICH I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY A LOT OF PEOPLE GET UNDER 7 HOURS OF SLEEP RLY. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE REMEMBER THAT RE CONSISTENT SLEEP OF 8 HOURS A DAY ALL DAYS OF THE WEEK IS WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO DO TO OPTIMIZE YOUTH. AND IT'S HARD TO SAY EXTRA SLEEP ON THE WEEKENDS WAS LY THED IMPROVED HEART HEALTH OR IF ITWG SOME OTHER ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE. SO TAKEAWAY IS DON'T JUST R ON WEEKENDS TO CATCH UP ON YOUR SLEEP. EASE TRY TO GET CONSISTENT GOOD SLEEP. SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.>> YOUR HEART.

I'VE BEEN TOLD BY AIDES, DIANE, TH THEY WILL WRITE INE IS THE FIRST THAT SHE'S THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN, THAT SH THE FIRSTSIAN WOMAN, AND SHE WILL LITERALLY CROSS IT OUT. THOT SOMETHING THAT SHE FEELS CG ABOUT.D SHE CERTAINLY DIDN'T YESTERDAY. IN FACAID THAT SHE WOULD BE THPERSON TO BE PRESIDENT FO ALL,DLESS OF RACE AND GENDER. SHE ALSO HAD TO TALK ABOUT POLICY SHIFTS. YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING H 2019, AND YOU WORKED CLOSELY ON HER CAMPAIGN THEN. WHAT DIDF HER EXPLANATION OF WHY, FOR EXAMPLE, SHE WAS FOR BANNING FRACKING THEN, BUNOW? >> TWO VERY DIFFERENTACES. >> RIGHT. AND YES, I HER VERY CLOSELY IN 2018. REMEMBER THE ME SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD FRACKING. BUT OF COURSE, THAT WAS A RACE WITH ABOUT 20 OTHER DEMOCRATS. RIGHT. AND OF COURSE, YOU FELT OT THEN W SHE WENT THE NEXT YEAR INERAL RACE WITH JOE BIDEN. THAT POINTT JOE BIDEN WILL NOT BAN FRACKING. SHE SAID SH TRUE TO THAT NOW. D THAT SHE DID NOT BAN FRACKING AS A VICE PRESIDENT AND SHE SHE EXPLAINED BUT, YOU KNOW, I WAS ASKING ATE TEAM ABOUT QUESTION, AND I THOUGHT INT WAS VERY, VERY SMART. THEY SAID THIS IS NOT AN ELECTORAL THIS IS AN ELECTORAL DE THIS IS NOT A CLIMATE THEY'RE SAYING THAE ACTIVISTS WHO ARE OUT THEREO FER WILL STILL FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT HER REGARDLHER FLIP FLOPPING ON FRACKING FROHE. >> ALL RIGHT. INTERESTING ABC ZOHREEN SHAH, THANK YOU AND POLITICALWAS BUREAU DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS. RICK, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR ISSUES FOR DEMOCRATS SINCE THE OVERTURNING OF ROE V WADE. SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS NEW PROMISE FROM TRUMP TO MAKE IVF TREATMENT FREE IF ELECTED? >> WELL, IT'S PRETTY STRIKING THAT REPUBLICANS SAY HE'S GOING TO ADD A MANDATE FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES OR ADD THIS BIG NEW EXPENSE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD SHOULDER, CERTAINLY PROMPTING A LOT OF CONCERNS AMONG CONSERVATIVES, AMONG REPUBLICANS. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS TO BE SKEPTICAL OF IT. AND IN PART BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS HAD ACTUALLY HAD A PROPOSAL TO MANDATE THIS AND THEY BROUGHT IT TO THE SENATE FLOOR. THEY HAD A VOTE. ALMOST ALL REPUBLICANS, INCLUDING J.D. VANCE, TRUMP'S RUNNING MATE, VOTED AGAINST IT. SO I THINK IT'S AN INTERESTING TWIST. I THINK IT SUGGESTS, AS SELINA COVERED THE POLITICAL CALCULATION THAT TRUMP IS ENGAGING IN RIGHT NOW AND TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING OF A OF OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THIS THAT THAT TAKES AWAY AS A AS A BIG VOTING ISSUE. >> NOW, IN HER INTERVIEW WITH CNN VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WAS CHALLENGED ON THE FACT THAT SOME OF HER POLICY POSITIONS HAVE CHANGED SINCE SHE RAN FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION IN 2019. SO LET'S TALK OUT TO YOU FROM HER EXPLANATIONS, THOSE SHIFTS. >> YEAH, I MEAN, STARTING WITH THE FRACKING ISSUE THAT THAT WE COVERED IN PIECE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. LOOK, SHE WAS UNEQUIVOCAL IN WHAT S SAID ORIGINALLY AND SAYING THAT SHE WANTED TO BAN FRACK AND THEN EQUALLY UNEQUIVOCALE OTHER DIRECTION SO SHE HAS HAD DIFNT ANY, LOOK, SHE'S LEARNEDUARE I MORE ABOUT TSSUE. ALSO ON THE ISSUE OF DECRIMINALIZING THE B SHE TOOK POSITIONS IN THE DEMO PRIMARY THAT WERE DIFFERENT THEN THAN HER POSITION RIGHT NOW. AND IT JUST STRIKING ME BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMEONET NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU'NING FOR PRESIDENT ALL THIS TIME. PEOPLE BE ASKING THE ISSUES. SHE DIDN'T ACTUALLY RUN FOR PRESIDENT SINCE 2019. AND THEN SHE WAS BECAME JOE BIDEN'S RUNNING MATE. AND THEN AS VICE PRESIDENT, SHE REALLY COULDN'T HAVE HER OWN POSITIONS. THEY WERE BIDEN POSITIONS. NOW SHE IS FORCED TO ANSWER FOR AND TO ILLUMINATE HER OWN POSITIONS, A RANGE OF ISSUES. AND SOMETIMES, YEAH, THEY'RE AT ODDS NOT JUST WITH BIDEN, BUT SOMETIMES WITH THINGS THAT SHE HAS SAID PREVIOUSLY. >> ON THAT NOTE, RICK, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES TO HER PLANS, IF ELECTED, HARRIS DID SOUND PRETTY SIMILAR TO BIDEN THERE. SO WHERE DO YOU SEE HER SETTING HERSELF APART FROM HIM? >> I WAS STRUCK BY THAT QUESTION ABOUT WHAT SHE WOULD DO ON DAY ONE, BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T SAY A LOT ABOUT SPECIFICALLY WHAT SHE WOULD DO BECAUSE, OF COURSE, IT ISN'T DAY ONE FOR HER. TECHNICALLY, SHE'S BEEN VICE PRESIDENT FOR THREE AND A HALF, ALMOST FOUR YEARS. AND IF SHE TAKES OVER AS PRESIDENT, THERE WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF A LOT OF POLICIES THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE, A LOT OF CABINET THAT WOULD STILL STAY IN PLACE. BUT SHE IS TRYING TO POSITION HERSELF AGAINST TRUMP. AND I THINK YOU SAW IN THE INTERVIEW AND YOU YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF CAMPAIGN MESSAGING THIS MESSAGE ABOUT NOT GOING BACK. SHE CONTINUES TO RUN AGAINST THE TRUMP ERA, EVEN THOUGH IT'S FOUR YEARS AGO MAKING THE ARGUMENT THAT WE MAY BE BACK UNDER ANOTHER TRUMP ERA IF HE WERE TO WIN. >> ALL RIGHT, ABC NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF AND POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN. THANKS, RICK. THANKS, DIANE. AND SEPTEMBER TEN, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE ON ABC NEWS AGAIN THAT SEPTEMBER 10TH. 9:00 EASTERN. >> YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. AND ISRAELI FORCES SAY THEY'VE KILLED THE HEAD OF A TERRORIST NETWORK, THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. ISRAEL SAYS THE OPERATION IS NOW IN DAY AND PART OF ITS LARGER WAR AGAINST HAMAS AND OTHER MILITANT IN THE REGION. BUT THE U.N. RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY SAYS IT'S IMPACTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS IN FOUR REFUGEE CAMPS. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT JOINS ME NOW FROM JERUSALEM WITH MORE. BRITT, THE LATEST ON THESE RAIDS IN THE WEST BANK, AS YOU SAY, DIANE, THEY ARE NOW IN THEIR THIRD DAY. THE IDF KILLING, A TOP COMMANDER IN JENIN. HAMAS ALSO CONFIRMING THAT NOW THE CITY IN THE NORTHERN WEST BANK STILL SEALED OFF. THEY NOW WITHDRAWN FROM TEL KAREM WHERE THE OPERATION HAS CONCLUDED. THERE AND WE'VE SEEN PICTURES OF MAJOR DESTRUCTION IN THE CAMP WHERE OF THE FIGHTING HAS TAKEN PLACE. PALESTINIAN OFFICIALS SAY 16 PEOPLE HAVE NOW BEEN KILLED AND MORE THAN 80 INJURED. THAT DEATH TOLL, INCLUDING THE FIGHTERS. NOW, WE WERE IN ALPHA II YESTERDAY FOLLOWING AN IDF RAID. TWO CHILDREN WERE KILLED THERE AS THE IDF RAIDED HOUSE TO HOUSE, MOSQUE THERE WAS DESTROYED IN A DRONE ATTACK. THE IDF SAYING IT USED AS AN EXPLOSIVE LAB. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT LOCALS THERE DENYING. RESIDENTS NOW PICKING UP THE PIECES, SWEEPING UP, SMASHED FRONTS, THE ROADS DAMAGED BY BULLDOZERS. THERE WAS A LOT OF ANGER THERE, DIANE, TO YOU KNOW, PEOPLE FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHY DID THEY SWEEP THROUGH? AND WHEN I ASKED WHY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR TERRORISTS ,WHEN THEY WOULD POINT TO THE CHILDREN AND SAY ALL THESE REALLY TERRORISTS AND THE HAMAS RUN HEALTH MINISTRY IS ALSO REPORTING MORE DEATHS IN GAZA. COULD THE FIGHTING THERE IMPACT THE ONGOING CEASEFIRE TALKS? WELL, IT CERTAINLY WON'T HELP CEASEFIRE TALKS, BUT QUITE FRANKLY, THAT IS LOOKING VERY ELUSIVE AT THE MOMENT. WE KNOW THAT ISRAEL HAS SENT A LOW, LOW LEVEL DELEGATION. IT LOOKS LIKE MEDIATORS ARE TRYING TO KIND OF KEEP DISCUSSIONS ALIVE. BUT, YOU KNOW, ISRAEL'S WAR CABINET MET NIGHT AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE IDF WOULD REMAIN IN THE PHILADELPHIA, PHILADELPHIA CORRIDOR. WE KNOW THAT IS ONE OF HAMAS'S RED LINES. THE IDEA THERE WOULD STILL BE A AN ISRAELI PRESENCE AT THE EGYPT GAZA BORDER IS IS SOMETHING THAT THE HAMAS SAYS IT JUST WON'T ACCEPT. SO THAT'S WHY FOR ALL THESE HOPES AND THEN SOME OF THE RHETORIC COMING OUT FROM THE U.S. OF A PROPER CEASE FIRE, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYWHERE CLOSE YET. >> BRET, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS A POLIO VACCINATION CAMPAIGN WILL START IN GAZA ON SUNDAY. AND THAT COMES AFTER THE U.N. SAID A TEN MONTH OLD BABY'S PARTIALLY PARALYZED FROM THE VIRUS. SO WHAT MORE YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT. >> SO, DIANE, AN ISRAELI SOURCE CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THIS PAUSE IS NOT THE START OF A CEASEFIRE ,SAID THERE IS NO PAUSE IN TERMS OF GIVING HAMAS IMMUNITY. THEY SAID WE ARE STILL GOING AFTER THEM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE ENABLING HUMANITARIAN AID AND VACCINATIONS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NGOS, AS YOU KNOW, DIANE, HAVE BEEN BEGGING FOR FOR MANY WEEKS. 650,000 KIDS NEED TO BE VACCINATED AS PART OF THIS THREE STAGE VACCINE ROLLOUT ACROSS THE CENTRAL SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE STRIP. BUT IT IS A LIMITED PAUSE DESIGNATED AREAS DURING EACH STAGE STAGE THE FIGHTING WILL BE PAUSED FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS BETWEEN SIX IN THE MORNING AND 3 P.M. LOCAL TIME. DIANE. ALL RIGHT. >> FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT IN JERUSALEM, THANK YOU. AND WE'RE FOLLOWING SOME TRAGIC NEWS FROM THE NHL, COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS STAR JOHNNY GOODROW IS DEAD AT 31 YEARS OLD. POLICE IN HIS HOME STATE OF NEW JERSEY SAY A CAR HIT AND KILLED GOODROW AND HIS BROTHER. THEY WERE RIDING THEIR BIKES LAST NIGHT. TRISH HARTMAN FROM OUR PHILADELPHIA STATION PBI HAS THAT STORY. >> NHL PLAYER JOHNNY GAUDREAU AND HIS BROTHER MATTHEW WERE KILLED LAST NIGHT AFTER BEING STRUCK BY A DRIVER IN SALEM COUNTY. POLICE SAY THEY WERE ON BICYCLES IN THE AREA OF PENNSVILLE, AUBURN ROAD NEAR STUMPY LANE IN TOWNSHIP WHEN THEY WERE STRUCK. BOTH WERE PRONOUNCED DEAD ON SCENE.

IN A STATEMENT RELEASED TODAY, THE BLUE JACKETS SAID IN PART QUOTE, JOHNNY PLAYED THE GAME WITH GREAT JOY, WHICH WAS FELT BY THAT SAW HIM ON THE ICE. HE THRILLED FANS IN A WAY ONLY JOHNNY HOCKEY COULD. THE IMPACT HE HAD ON OUR ORGANIZATION, OUR SPORT WAS PROFOUND, BUT PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE INDELIBLE HE MADE ON EVERYONE WHO KNEW HIM. THE 31 YEAR OLD ATTENDED GLOUCESTER CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL, LATER PLAYING HOCKEY FOR BOSTON COLLEGE AND THE CALGARY FLAMES. THE CRASH HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE GOODROW SISTER'S WEDDING IN NEW JERSEY. BOTH BROTHERS WERE LISTED AS GROOMSMEN ON HER WEDDING WEBSITE.

I'VE ALREADY LAID OUT A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS IN THAT REGARD, WHICH INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN THE OF EVERYDAY GOODS, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESSES. >> WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN FAMILIES. SHE'S IN DEFENDING HER AND BIDEN'S RECORD ON THE ECONOMY. BUT THERE'S MORE TO DO. >> BUT THAT'S GOOD WORK. ABC NEWS CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE. THANK YOU. MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MAKING A BOLD NEW CAMPAIGN PROMISE MAKE IVF FREE IF HE'S ELECTED. HE VOWED TO MAKE EITHER THE GOVERNMENT OR INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY FOR THE FERTILITY TREATMENT. DURING A TOWN HALL IN WISCONSIN. NOW DEMOCRATS ARE CRITICIZING HIM FOR NOT GIVING DETAILS ON HOW HE WOULD DO THAT. >> ABC'S SELINA WANG HAS MORE FROM LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN. >> DONALD TRUMP FLOATS A STRIKING NEW PROPOSAL AS HE SUDDENLY TRIES TO REBRAND HIMSELF ON WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, AN ISSUE THAT HE KNOWS COULD HURT HIM AT THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER. >> TRUMP THAT HE WOULD MAKE IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION FREE IF ELECTED WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY SPECIFICS ON HOW HE WOULD PAY FOR THIS COSTLY PLAN OR ENACT IT. >> UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, YOUR GOVERNMENT PAY FOR ALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL BE MANDATED TO PAY FOR ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IVF TREATMENT. >> IVF CAN COST TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, WITH NEARLY 90,000 BABIES BORN IN THE U.S. THROUGH FERTILITY TREATMENTS EACH YEAR. >> WE WANT TO PRODUCE BABIES IN THIS COUNTRY, RIGHT? WE WANT TO PRODUCE BABIES. >> VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN TELLING ABC NEWS TRUMP'S OWN PLATFORM COULD EFFECTIVELY BAN IVF ABORTION NATIONWIDE. TRUMP LIES AS MUCH, IF NOT THAN HE BREATHES. BUT VOTERS AREN'T STUPID. TRUMP MAKING THIS PROPOSAL DESPITE REPEATEDLY BRAGGING ABOUT APPOINTING THREE OF THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES WHO OVERTURNED ROE VERSUS WADE ,OPENING THE DOOR TO NEW RESTRICTIONS FOR FERTILITY TREATMENTS. WE BROKE ROE V. WADE AND WE DID SOMETHING THAT NOBODY THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. >> WE GAVE IT BACK TO THE STATES. EARLIER THIS YEAR, ALABAMA'S SUPREME COURT DECLARED FROZEN EMBRYOS HUMAN BEINGS ENTITLED TO FULL RIGHTS, CAUSING FERTILITY CLINICS ACROSS, THE STATE TO SHUT DOWN FOR WEEKS. A NEW POLL FINDING HARRIS HAS A SIX POINT ADVANTAGE OVER TRUMP ON WHO VOTERS TRUST MORE TO HANDLE THE ISSUE OF ABORTION AND HIS OWN HOME STATE, FLORIDA. TRUMP NOW SAYING HE OPPOSES THE STATE'S BAN ON ABORTION AT SIX WEEKS BEFORE MOST WOMEN EVEN KNOW THEY'RE PREGNANT. >> I THINK THE SIX WEEK IS TOO SHORT. IT HAS TO BE MORE TIME. AND SO THAT'S AND I'VE TOLD THEM THAT I WANT MORE WEEKS. >> TRUMP CONTRADICTING OWN STATEMENTS THAT THE ISSUE OF ABORTION SHOULD BE LEFT TO THE STATES. BUT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN ATTEMPTING TO APPEASE HIS ANTI-ABORTION BASE, LATER SAYING HE HAS NOT YET DECIDED HOW HE WILL VOTE. HE SIMPLY REITERATED THAT HE BELIEVES SIX WEEKS IS TOO SHORT. OVER THE YEARS, DONALD TRUMP HAS FLIP FLOPPED ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION, BUT HIS FOCUS ON IDPH IS CLEARLY ATTEMPT TO BLUNT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS' ATTACKS THAT HE WOULD RIP AWAY WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOMS. DIANE, ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG, THANK YOU AND ABC NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF AND POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN JOINS. >> ME NOW FOR MORE ON THESE POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS. RICK REPRODUCTIVE, RIGHTS HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR ISSUES FOR DEMOCRATS SINCE THE OVERTURNING OF ROE V WADE. SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS NEW PROMISE FROM TRUMP TO MAKE IVF TREATMENT FREE IF ELECTED? WELL, IT'S PRETTY STRIKING. HAVE A REPUBLICAN SAY HE'S GOING TO ADD A MANDATE FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES OR ADD THIS BIG NEW EXPENSE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD SHOULDER. CERTAINLY PROMPTING A LOT OF CONCERNS AMONG CONSERVATIVES, AMONG REPUBLICANS. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS TO BE SKEPTICAL OF IT, AND IN PART BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ACTUALLY HAD A PROPOSAL TO MANDATE THIS AND THEY BROUGHT IT TO THE SENATE FLOOR. THEY HAD A VOTE. ALMOST ALL REPUBLICANS, INCLUDING J.D. VANCE, TRUMP'S RUNNING MATE, VOTED AGAINST. SO I THINK IT'S AN INTERESTING TWIST. I THINK IT SUGGESTS, AS SELINA ,THE POLITICAL CALCULATIONS THAT TRUMP IS ENGAGING IN RIGHT NOW AND TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING OF A OF A OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THIS THAT THAT TAKES THIS AWAY AS A AS A BIG VOTING ISSUE. >> NOW, IN HER INTERVIEW WITH CNN, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WAS CHALLENGED ON THE FACT THAT SOME OF HER POLICY POSITIONS HAVE CHANGED SINCE SHE RAN FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION IN 2019. SO LET'S LOOK OUT YOU FROM HER EXPLANATIONS OF THOSE SHIFTS. >> YEAH, I MEAN, STARTING WITH THE FRACKING THAT THAT WE COVERED IN THE PIECE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. LOOK SHE WAS UNEQUIVOCAL IN WHAT SHE SAID ORIGINALLY AND SAYING THAT SHE WANTED TO BAN AND THEN EQUALLY UNEQUIVOCAL IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. SO SHE HAS HAD DIFFERENT POSITIONS AND SHE DIDN'T SQUARE IT AND SAY, LOOK, SHE'S LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE ISSUE. ALSO THE ISSUE OF DECRIMINALIZING THE BORDER. SHE TOOK POSITIONS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY THAT DIFFERENT THEN THAN HER POSITION RIGHT NOW. AND IT'S JUST STRIKING BECAUSE . WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES WHO'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ALL THIS TIME. PEOPLE BE ASKING ISSUES. SHE DIDN'T ACTUALLY RUN FOR PRESIDENT SINCE 2019, AND THEN SHE WAS BECAME JOE BIDEN'S RUNNING MATE. AND THEN AS VICE PRESIDENT, SHE REALLY COULDN'T HAVE HER OWN POSITIONS. THEY WERE BIDEN POSITIONS. NOW SHE IS FORCED TO ANSWER FOR AND TO ILLUMINATE HER OWN POSITIONS, A RANGE OF ISSUES. AND SOMETIMES, YEAH, THEY'RE AT ODDS, NOT JUST WITH BIDEN, BUT SOMETIMES WITH THINGS THAT SHE HAS SAID PREVIOUSLY. >> ON THAT NOTE, RICK, KNOW, WHEN IT COMES TO HER PLANS, IF ELECTED, HARRIS DID SOUND PRETTY SIMILAR. PRESIDENT BIDEN THERE. SO WHERE DO YOU SEE HER SETTING HERSELF APART HIM? >> I WAS STRUCK BY THAT QUESTION ABOUT WHAT SHE WOULD DO ON DAY ONE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T SAY A LOT ABOUT SPECIFICALLY WHAT SHE WOULD DO, BECAUSE OF COURSE, IT ISN'T DAY ONE FOR HER. TECHNICALLY, SHE'S BEEN VICE PRESIDENT FOR THREE AND A HALF, ALMOST FOUR YEARS. AND IF SHE TAKES OVER AS PRESIDENT, THERE WILL BE A CONTINUATION IN A LOT OF POLICIES THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE, A LOT OF CABINET THAT WOULD STAY IN PLACE. BUT SHE IS TRYING TO POSITION HERSELF AGAINST TRUMP. AND I YOU SAW IN THE INTERVIEW AND YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF CAMPAIGN MESSAGING THIS MESSAGE ABOUT NOT GOING BACK. SHE CONTINUES TO RUN AGAINST THE TRUMP ERA, EVEN THOUGH IT'S FOUR YEARS AGO MAKING THE ARGUMENT THAT WE MAY BE BACK UNDER ANOTHER TRUMP ERA . >> HE WERE TO WIN. ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF AND POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN. THANKS, RICK. THANKS, DIANE. AND SEPTEMBER 10TH, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE ON ABC AGAIN THAT SEPTEMBER 10TH. 9:00 EASTERN. YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> AND ISRAELI FORCES SAY KILLED THE HEAD OF A TERRORIST NETWORK IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. ISRAEL SAYS IT'S TARGETING PALESTINIAN MILITANTS THERE AS PART OF ITS LARGER WAR AGAINST HAMAS AND OTHER MILITANT GROUPS IN THE REGION. >> BUT THE U.N. RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY SAYS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS IN FOUR REFUGEE CAMPS HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE OPERATION. NOW, IN DAY THREE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT JOINS ME FROM JERUSALEM WITH ON THAT. >> WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THIS ISRAELI OPERATION IN THE WEST BANK? SO THE LARGEST IDF OPERATION IN THE WEST BANK IS NOW IN ITS THIRD DAY, DIANE. THE IDF KILLING A TOP HAMAS COMMANDER, JENIN. HAMAS ALSO CONFIRMING THAT DEATH. NOW, THE CITY IN THE NORTHERN WEST BANK IS STILL SEALED OFF. THEY NOW WITHDRAWN FROM TALK ROOM WHERE THEIR OPERATION HAS CONCLUDED THERE. AND WE'VE SEEN, DIANE, PICTURES OF MAJOR DESTRUCTION IN THE CAMP WHERE MOST OF THE FIGHTING TOOK PLACE. PALESTINIAN OFFICIALS SAY 16 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED. MORE THAN 80 INJURED. THAT DEATH TOLL, INCLUDING THE FIGHTERS. NOW, WE WERE IN ALPHA YESTERDAY FOLLOWING AN IDF RAID. TWO CHILDREN WERE KILLED THERE AS THE IDF RAIDED HOUSE TO HOUSE. THE MOSQUE WAS DESTROYED IN A DRONE ATTACK. THERE. THE IDF SAYING IT WAS USED AS AN EXPLOSIVE LAB, A CLAIM THAT LOCALS. RESIDENTS THERE ARE NOW PICKING UP THE PIECES, SWEEPING UP, SMASHED STORE FRONTS AT THE ROADS DAMAGED BY THE USE OF BULLDOZERS. A LOT OF ANGER THERE, TOO. >> DIANE AND BRITT, GAZA'S HAMAS RUN HEALTH MINISTRY, SAYS MORE THAN A DOZEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE GAZA STRIP SINCE DAWN. SO WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT FRONT AND HOW COULD IMPACT THE ONGOING CEASEFIRE TALKS? WELL, I THINK THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A POLIO VACCINE ROLLOUT IN THE GAZA STRIP, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE LIMITED TO DESIGNATED AREAS. WE UNDERSTAND IT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN THREE STAGES. BUT AS YOU SAY, DIANE, SITUATION IN GAZA IS INCREASINGLY GRIM. ONE OF THE ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES RIGHT NOW IS THE FACT THAT THE WATER THERE IS FILTHY. WE SPEAK TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEIR KIDS ARE HAVING TO BATHE IN THE SEA EACH DAY. >> SO CERTAINLY WHILE THIS MIGHT HELP, YOU KNOW, THE NGOS WE SPEAK SAY THAT THE BIGGER WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IS TO LIMIT FIGHTING THERE PERMANENTLY. >> ALL RIGHT. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT IN JERUSALEM, THANK YOU. COMING UP, THE LATEST ON SHOCKING DEATH OF NHL PLAYER JOHNNY GAUDREAU. >> WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THE ACCIDENT AND THE LEGACY HE LEAVES BEHIND. GET READY, AMERICA.

I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUN I WAS GOING TO HAVE. IT WAS A BIKINI. PEOPLE WERE JUST HUNGRY. HE MESSED UP A LOT. >> POW, POW, POW, POW, POW. IT WAS A WILD TIME. AND I WAS A WILD CHICK. EVERYONE SHOULD DARE TO WATCH THE SHOW BECAUSE YOU KNEW. YOU WERE GOING TO SEE SOMEONE SEXY. I MEAN, EVERYBODY WAS CRAZY. NOT JUST WOMEN WHO CAN LOOK HOT AND SEXY. >> ANYONE CAN DO IT. ONE AND A HALF JASON MOMOA EXPLODED OFF OF "BAYWATCH". >> CARMEN WAS A BOMBSHELL. WHO HAD SOMETHING TO SAY? ANDERSON WAS AN ICON. >> PAMELA WAS THE SWEET GIRL FROM CANADA WHO CAME TO GET THE AMERICAN DREAM. REALLY PROUD OF EVERYTHING I'VE DONE. ALMOST. >> "BAYWATCH" IS A WHIRLWIND OF EPIC HIGHS AND LOWS. IT WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE. THEY HAD TO WEAR NEXT TO NOTHING. >> YOU WANT ME TO WEAR THIS BLACK TEE WITH THE BEST ABS? RINGS HORSY WITH THE BEST BOOBS WHEN THEY JUST WANTED TO, LIKE, PUT YOU UNDER A MICROSCOPE AND SEE WHERE YOUR FLAWS ARE. >> EVERYBODY WAS DISPOSABLE, AND IF YOU DIDN'T FIT THEIR BRAND, YOU WERE GONE. >> "BAYWATCH" EMPOWERED ME. EVERY NOW AND THEN, IT HURT ME . >> BUT SO DO THE PEOPLE AND THINGS WE LOVE. I NEED TO TAKE A BREAK. GREED AND LUST. FAME. IT'S CRAZY. IT CHANGED EVERYTHING. IT WAS ABOUT PUSHING THE ENVELOPE. ICONIC. SO HOT. EVERYONE LIKES TO WATCH SEXY THINGS. >> THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE. NOW, THIS SUNDAY MORNING, JUST TEN DAYS OUT FROM THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE, THE NEW ABC IPSOS POLL IS REVEALED ON THE STATE OF THE RACE. WHO HAS THE EDGE AND? HAS BOTH CAMPAIGNS HIT THE CRUCIAL SWING STATES? SUNDAY ON ABC'S WEEK. >> AND CASE CREDIBILITY AMERICA. READY, AMERICA. MORNING, AMERICA. GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, AMERICA. EVERY DAY. >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE FOR US. WE ARE FOLLOWING NEWS FROM THE NHL. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS STAR JOHNNY GOODROW IS DEAD AT 31 YEARS OLD. POLICE IN HIS HOME STATE OF NEW SAY A CAR HIT AND KILLED GOODROW AND HIS BROTHER AS THEY WERE RIDING THEIR BIKES LAST NIGHT. >> ABC NEWS MORGAN NORWOOD JOINS US NOW. MORGAN WHAT MORE ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE? >> WELL, DIANE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A HORRIFIC INCIDENT THAT'S SENDING SHOCKWAVES THROUGHOUT THE NHL AND ALSO THE SPORTS WORLD. AS YOU OUT. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS FORWARD JOHNNY GOODROW KILLED AS HE WAS BIKING WITH HIS BROTHER MATTHEW LAST NIGHT AND THEIR HOMETOWN OF SALEM COUNTY, JERSEY. THAT IS SOUTH JERSEY. SO WHAT IS SO HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR STORY IS THAT THE BROTHERS WERE ACTUALLY IN TOWN FOR THEIR SISTER'S WEDDING. POLICE SAY A, THAT WE NOW KNOW HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SEAN HIGGINS PLOWED HIS JEEP INTO THE TWO WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER SUV ON A ROAD AND THEN TOOK OFF FROM THE SCENE. NOT ONLY THAT, AUTHORITIES ALSO BELIEVE THIS PARTICULAR SEAN HIGGINS WAS DRUNK AND UNDER THE INFLUENCE. I WANT TO POINT TO SOME ADDITIONAL REPORTING THAT OUR SISTER STATION OR THAT OUR STATION PVI I DONE IN PHILLY HAS. AND ACCORDING TO THE POLICE AFFIDAVIT, THE TROOPER WHO INTERVIEWED HIGGINS ON THE SCENE, YOU KNOW, SMELLED A STRONG OF ALCOHOL. RIGHT. BUT ALSO APPARENTLY HIGGINS TOLD, THAT OFFICER THAT HE CONSUMED 5 TO 6 BEERS BEFORE GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL AND INVOLVED IN THAT CRASH, BOTH BROTHERS. AS YOU POINTED OUT, WE KNOW WERE KILLED. HIGGINS, THOUGH, IS CHARGED TWO COUNTS OF DEATH BY AUTO. BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS UNFAIR VENABLE. I MEAN, HE WAS A CELEBRATED FORWARD. AND THIS MORNING WE KNOW HIS TEAM IS ALSO RELEASING A STATEMENT. THEY ARE HEARTBROKEN SAYING, QUOTE, JOHNNY, THE GAME WITH GREAT JOY, WHICH WAS FELT BY EVERYONE THAT SAW ON THE ICE. HE BROUGHT A GENUINE LOVE FOR HOCKEY WITH HIM EVERYONE EVERYWHERE. HE PLAYED FROM BOSTON COLLEGE TO THE CALGARY TO TEAM USA TO THE BLUE JACKETS, HE THRILLED FANS IN A WAY ONLY JOHNNY HOCKEY COULD. SO AGAIN, INCREDIBLY HEARTBREAKING. >> AND IT IS AND I'M SURE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO NOW ANSWER ABOUT THAT MORGAN NORWOOD THANK YOU. AND ESPN'S NATIONAL HOCKEY WRITER EMILY KAPLAN JOINS US NOW WITH MORE ON THAT. EMILY, THIS WAS A MAN NICKNAMED JOHNNY. HOW BIG IS THIS LOSS? NOT JUST FOR HIS LOVED ONES, OF COURSE BUT ALSO THE LEAGUE AND HIS FANS. >> AND, DIANE, EVERYONE I'VE TALKED TO IN THE HOCKEY WORLD THIS MORNING IS SHOCKED. >> THEY'RE GRIEVING. THEY'RE DEVASTATED. JOHNNY WAS BELOVED FOR WHAT HE DID ON THE ICE. HE WAS DRAFTED JUST FIVE FOOT SIX IN THE FOURTH ROUND BY THE CALGARY FLAMES. HE'S LISTED AT FIVE FOOT NINE, A BUCK 60. NOTHING WAS GIVEN TO HIM. >> HE TURNED INTO ONE OF THE BEST LEFT WINGERS IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE. BUT ANYONE WHO KNOWS HIM KNOWS THAT HE WAS ALL ABOUT THOSE CLOSE TO HIM. >> SPECIFICALLY HIS FAMILY. >> HE PLAYED NINE YEARS WITH THE CALGARY FLAMES, AND THEN HE TURNED DOWN A LOT OF OFFERS THAT THEY HAD TO RESIGN HIM BECAUSE WANTED TO PLAY IN AMERICA SO THAT HIS WIFE MEREDITH, COULD FIND A JOB. BUT ALSO THAT THEY COULD VERY CLOSE TO BOTH OF THEIR FAMILIES. YOU KNOW, HE AND MATTHEW, WHO UNFORTUNATELY PASSED AWAY WITH HIM, SIGNED AT BOSTON COLLEGE AS A PACKAGE DEAL. AND SO WHEN JOHNNY WAS THIS BIG FREE AGENT IN 2022, ALL OF THESE TEAMS IN AMERICA WANTED HIM AND HE SIGNED WITH THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS. AND THAT SHOCKED A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND I REMEMBER TALKING TO JOHNNY IN NOVEMBER OF THAT SEASON, AND IT DIDN'T THE WAY THAT HE OR THE TEAM HAD HOPED. THEY WEREN'T PLAYING WELL. AND HE TOLD ME, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS OUT THERE CHASING THE MONEY, BUT THAT COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. I LOVE IT HERE. MY WIFE LOVES IT HERE. OUR FAMILIES LOVE IT HERE. AND HE TOLD ME I WOULDN'T TRADE THAT DECISION. >> THE WORLD. AND HE WAS A FOLKLORE FIGURE EVEN BEFORE HE GOT TO THE NHL. WHAT WAS IT ABOUT HOW PLAYED THAT MADE PEOPLE SO EXCITED? >> RIGHT. I THINK WAS BECAUSE HE WAS SO UNDERSIZED. >> YOU KNOW, HOCKEY IS A BIG, TOUGH SPORT AND THIS IS SOMEONE WHO IS QUITE SMALL AND SKINNY AND FOUND WAYS DO THINGS CREATIVELY. WHEN HE WAS AT BOSTON COLLEGE, HE HE HOBEY BAKER AWARD AS THE BEST PLAYER IN ALL OF COLLEGE HOCKEY, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. AND THEN WHEN HE GOT TO THE CALGARY FLAMES, SOME OF HIS ACCOLADES WINNING THE LEAGUE BEING WHICH IS THE MOST GENTLEMANLY PLAYER USUALLY THAT'S GIVEN THE TOP PLAYER WITH, YOU KNOW, THE MOST ACCOLADES AND THE MOST POINTS BUT ALSO HAD THE LEAST PENALTY MINUTES. SO HE WAS VERY BELOVED FOR JUST WAY THAT HE PLAYED. HE WAS SUPER CREATIVE. AGAIN, ONE OF THE BEST LEFT WINGERS, THE LEAGUE. >> HE PLAYED FOR THE UNITED STATES IN SO MANY TOURNAMENTS AND ABOUT TO HAVE NHL PLAYERS REENTER THE WORLD STAGE WITH THE FOUR NATIONS CUP COMING THIS FEBRUARY. HOCKEY PLAYERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE OLYMPICS IN MILAN IN 2026 FROM THE NHL. >> AND I KNOW THAT JOHNNY WOULD HAVE FIGURED INTO TEAM U.S. PLANS. >> AS A B, C ALUM MYSELF, IT'S HARD TO OVERSTATE HOW BELOVED WAS AND IS THERE. SO HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'LL REMEMBER? >> PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER GOODROW BOTH ON OFF THE ICE. >> I THINK AS A FAMILY MAN, I THINK THAT DECISION TO LEAVE CALGARY FOR FAMILY CONSIDERATIONS, FOR HIS WIFE MEREDITH, WHERE THEY WANTED TO RAISE THEIR TWO KIDS, THEY HAVE TWO YOUNG ONES, NOAH AND JOHNNY JUNIOR. THAT IS WHAT I THINK WE'RE ALL GOING TO REMEMBER. HE WAS SO CLOSE TO MATTY, HIS BROTHER AGAIN, THIS TIME AT BOSTON COLLEGE AS A PACKAGE DEAL. HIS FATHER, HIS MOTHER, OFTEN TOOK ROAD TRIPS TO GO TO THEIR GAMES AND ALL OF THE GUYS THAT HE PLAYED WITH JUST SAID HE WAS SUCH A GOOD GUY. >> HE LOVED GAME, HE LOVED TO PLAY. HE OFTEN HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE CARED SO DEEPLY ABOUT HIS TEAMMATES. AND I THINK THAT'S THE LEGACY THAT THE GOODROW WILL CELEBRATE HIM FOR. >>GE LOSS. SO MANY. ESPN'S NATIONAL HOCKEY WRITER EMILY KAPLAN. EMILY, THANK YOU. >> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA? AN AN OPERATION OR LICENSE PLATE COMBAT OPERATIONS?

YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS ON I AM DIANE MACEDO THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. LET'S GET STRAIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IS LAYING OUT HER TOP PRIORITIES IN HER FIRST TV INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. >> SPEAKING WITH CNN, HARRIS AND RUNNING MATE TIM WALZ LAID OUT PLANS FOR THEIR POTENTIAL DAY IN OFFICE. DAY ONE, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN FOR WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. I'VE ALREADY LAID OUT A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS IN THAT REGARD, WHICH INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESSES, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN FAMILIES. HARRIS ALSO RESPONDED TO CRITICISM ABOUT POLICY SHIFTS ON IMMIGRATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT. MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS HOLDING A RALLY PENNSYLVANIA, TODAY AND MAKING A BOLD PROMISE TO IVF TREATMENTS FREE. >> IF HE IS ELECTED. HE TO MAKE EITHER GOVERNMENT OR INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY FOR THE FERTILITY TREATMENT. NOW, DEMOCRATS ARE CRITICIZING HIM FOR NOT GIVING ANY DETAILS ON HOW ABC NEWS. >> SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT TERRY MORAN JOINS ME NOW FROM JOHNSTON, WHERE TRUMP WILL BE HOLDING A RALLY SHORTLY. TERRY, DOES THIS NEW PROMISE FROM TRUMP DO FOR THE CONVERSATION AROUND RIGHTS ,GIVEN THAT'S BEEN ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR CAMPAIGN ISSUES FOR DEMOCRATS SINCE THE OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE? ABSOLUTELY, DIANE. AND BEFORE THE OVERTURNING ROE VERSUS WADE, ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR CAMPAIGN TOPICS FOR REPUBLICANS. NOW IT'S SWITCHED BECAUSE REALLY THE MAJORITY OF THE PUBLIC POLLS ALL SHOWED WAS SUPPORTIVE OF ROE VERSUS. SO TRUMP IS NOW TRYING TO GET TOWARDS THE MIDDLE EAST, TACKING HARD TOWARDS THE MIDDLE, SUPPORTING GOVERNMENT PAID IVF. PEOPLE WHO ARE CATHOLIC, SOUTHERN BAPTISTS BELIEVE THAT IVF, THE EQUIVALENT OF ABORTION AND IN FACT DESTROYS MORE EMBRYOS IN THEIR IN THEIR BELIEF IN THEIR IN THE WAY THEY LOOK AT IT THAN ABORTION ITSELF. THERE HE IS. NOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY TAXES TO SUPPORT IT. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE WOULD NOT SUPPORT FLORIDA'S PROPOSED SIX WEEK BAN ON ABORTION. SO RIGHT NOW, WHAT IT DOES THAT TRUMP IS ACTUALLY TO THE LEFT IN SOME WAYS OF KAMALA HARRIS, AT LEAST NOMINALLY ON THESE ISSUES. AND IT HAS RILED UP SOME VERY, VERY DEVOUT ANTI-ABORTION RIGHTS PEOPLE. THEY CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY NOW HAVE TO SUPPORT, AND IT MAY COST HIM SOME VOTES. HE CLEARLY IT'S A LIABILITY FOR REPUBLICANS AND HE DOESN'T WANT IT IN HIS CAMPAIGN. >> AND TERRY, WHAT ABOUT THE FISCAL SIDE OF THIS, TO HAVE A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TALKING ABOUT MANDATING THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES OR THAT THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF PAY FOR SOMETHING, HEALTH CARE RELATED? >> DOESN'T SOUND VERY REPUBLICAN. IT I MEAN, IT REALLY DOESN'T. AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO WORK THROUGH THE TRUMP COALITIONS THERE BE VOTES THAT HE LOSES BECAUSE OF IT. IT'S ALREADY QUITE CLEAR PEOPLE WHO ARE SINGLE ISSUE VOTERS, VOTERS THAT HAVE WORKED FOR DECADES TO OVERTURN ROE VERSUS WADE, THEY WANT TO SEE NO ABORTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES. AND HERE IS THEIR CHAMPION THE GUY WHO APPOINTED THE THREE JUSTICES WHO OVERTURNED ROE VERSUS WADE FLIP FLOPPING ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE, A GOVERNMENT MAN MANDATED TAXPAYERS HAVE TO PAY FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S IVF, AND HE DOESN'T EVEN SUPPORT A SIX WEEK BAN ON ON ABORTIONS IN HIS OWN HOME STATE OF FLORIDA. SO HE WILL IT WILL COST. >> HE'S COUNTING ON IT, WINNING THEM VOTES AND HE'S TRYING TO PUSH IT AS FAMILY FRIENDLY. AND WE'VE HEARD THAT THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN THAT PUSHED TERRI . >> I'M OUT OF TIME. BUT QUICKLY, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR FROM HIM TODAY? WELL, I DON'T THINK HE WANTS TO TALK A LOT MORE ABOUT THAT. CAN SEE HOW HE'S RILED UP HIS OWN BASE. HE SENT THE MESSAGE TO THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY ON THESE ISSUES THAT HE'S NOT, YOU KNOW, GOING TO BE ANTI-ABORTION RIGHTS, ANTI IVF. THE JOB THAT HE CAME TO DO ON THAT IS DONE. HE WANTS THE STATES TO DECIDE AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO TOUCH IT ANYMORE. WELL, WE WILL HEAR I'M SURE IS A LOT ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS. HE HAS ALREADY COMMUNICATED ON SOCIAL. HE WASN'T IMPRESSED WITH KAMALA HARRIS' INTERVIEW LAST NIGHT ON CNN. HE'S ALREADY CALLED HER STUPID. HE'S USED THOSE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HER. AND HE'S GOING TO GO AFTER, AS HE ALWAYS DOES, WHAT WHAT HE SAYS ARE HER FAR LEFT POLICIES. SHE'S DONE HER OWN FLIP FLOPPING ON THOSE, THOUGH, AND EXPECT TO HEAR THAT AS WELL. ALL RIGHT, SENIOR CORRESPONDENT TERRY MORAN. >> THANKS, TERRY. LET'S BRING IN ABC ZOHREEN SHAH FOR MORE ON THIS. >> ONE OF THE THINGS MAKING HEADLINES WAS HARRIS SAYING THAT SHE WOULD APPOINT A REPUBLICAN TO HER CABINET. YOU HAVE FOLLOWED HER FOR A LONG TIME AND TRUMP IS NOW GETTING LOT OF ATTENTION FOR GETTING SUPPORT FROM THE LIKES OF TULSI GABBARD AND ROBERT WHO DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE HIMSELF. >> SO IS SHE FACING MORE PRESSURE NOW TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE? AND IF SO, WHY NOT GIVE MORE THERE? I'VE DEFINITELY HEARD OF DEMOCRATS TALK ABOUT THE OPTICS OF A TULSI GABBARD OR A KENNEDY ENDORSING TRUMP. >> RIGHT. AND CERTAINLY YOU COULD FEEL YOU COULD FEEL THAT PRESSURE BUILDING. SHE DIDN'T GIVE SPECIFICS, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS REALLY INTERESTING. BUT YOU HAVE REPUBLICANS WHO SPOKE AT THE DNC LAST WEEK WHO CERTAINLY OPPOSE TRUMP, WHO SHE HAS TO PICK FROM IN THIS CASE. >> ADAM KINZINGER IN THE CABINET, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. >> YEAH, BUT -- BUT SHE TALKED ABOUT REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE. SHE TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO WORK. SHE SAID SHE'S ALWAYS WORKED WITH PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW AND THAT THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HER. NOW, HARRIS ALSO LOOKED BACK ON THE HISTORIC NATURE, HER CANDIDACY, HOW JOE BIDEN TOLD HER THAT HE WAS STEPPING DOWN AND HOW THIS ALL CAME TO. WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF HER EXPLANATION OF NOT ONLY THE MOMENT THAT HE TOLD HER, BUT WHAT THAT MEANS, THE WAY THAT SHE ENDED UP IN THIS POSITION? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME WITH SO MANY QUESTIONS. RIGHT. I MEAN, I'M VERY CURIOUS THAT SHE ASKED THAT ENDORSEMENT . SHE DIDN'T SAY, BUT SHE SAID HE CALLED HER ON THAT SUNDAY AND THAT SHE WAS WITH HER BABY NIECES COOKING FOR THEM. THEY'RE ABOUT TO MAKE A PUZZLE AND THAT HE TOLD HER THAT HE WAS GOING TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE. SHE ARE YOU SURE? AND, YOU KNOW, SHE SHE DIDN'T SAY IF WAS GOING TO ASK FOR THE ENDORSEMENT OR NOT. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE DIDN'T EVEN GO THE HISTORIC NATURE OF HER CANDIDACY. RIGHT. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY AIDES, DIANE, THAT OFTEN THEY WILL WRITE IN THAT SHE THE FIRST THAT SHE'S THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN, THAT SHE'S THE FIRST SOUTH ASIAN WOMAN. AND SHE WILL LITERALLY CROSS IT OUT. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHE OFTEN COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT. AND SHE CERTAINLY DIDN'T YESTERDAY. IN FACT, SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD BE THE BEST PERSON TO BE PRESIDENT FOR ALL AMERICANS, REGARDLESS OF RACE AND GENDER. AND THEN SHE ALSO HAD TO TALK ABOUT POLICY SHIFTS. YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING HER SINCE 2019. YOU WORK VERY CLOSELY ON HER CAMPAIGN. THEN. WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF HER EXPLANATION OF WHY, FOR EXAMPLE, SHE WAS FOR BANNING FRACKING THEN, BUT NOT NOW? >> TWO VERY DIFFERENT RACES, RIGHT. >> AND YES, I COVERED HER VERY CLOSELY IN 2018. AND I REMEMBER THE MOMENT WHERE SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD BAN FRACKING. BUT OF COURSE, THAT WAS A RACE WITH ABOUT 20 OTHER DEMOCRATS. RIGHT. AND OF COURSE, YOU FELT THAT PIVOT THEN WHEN SHE WENT THE NEXT YEAR IN THE GENERAL RACE WITH JOE BIDEN. AND AT THAT POINT SAID THAT JOE BIDEN WILL NOT BAN FRACKING, SHE SAID SHE HOLDS TOO TRUE TO THAT NOW. SHE SAID THAT SHE DID NOT BAN FRACKING AS A VICE AND SHE SHE EXPLAINED IT A LITTLE BIT. BUT, YOU KNOW, I WAS ASKING CLIMATE TEAM ABOUT THIS QUESTION AND I THOUGHT THEIR POINT WAS VERY, VERY SMART. THEY SAID THIS IS NOT AN ELECTORAL THIS IS AN ELECTORAL DECISION. THIS IS NOT A CLIMATE DECISION. THEY'RE SAYING THAT CLIMATE ACTIVISTS WHO ARE OUT THERE WHO FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT HER, WILL STILL FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT HER REGARDLESS OF HER FLIP FLOPPING ON FRACKING FROM HER 2019 POSITION. >> ALL RIGHT. INTERESTING ABC ZOHREEN SHAH. >> THANK YOU. AND SEPTEMBER TEN, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE ON ABC NEWS AGAIN THAT SEPTEMBER 10TH. 9:00 EASTERN. YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> AND ISRAELI FORCES, THEY'VE KILLED THE HEAD OF A TERRORIST NETWORK IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. ISRAEL SAYS THE OPERATION IS NOW IN DAY THREE AND PART OF ITS LARGER WAR, HAMAS AND OTHER MILITANT GROUPS IN THE REGION. BUT THE U.N. RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY SAYS IT'S IMPACTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS IN FOUR REFUGEE CAMPS. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT JOINS ME NOW, JERUSALEM WITH MORE. >> BUT WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THESE RAIDS IN THE WEST BANK ? AS YOU SAY, DIANE, THEY ARE NOW IN THEIR THIRD DAY. THE IDF KILLING A TOP COMMANDER IN HAMAS, ALSO CONFIRMING THAT DEATH. NOW, THE CITY IN THE NORTHERN WEST BANK STILL SEALED OFF. THEY HAVE NOW WITHDRAWN FROM TEL KAREM, WHERE THE OPERATION HAS CONCLUDED THERE. AND WE'VE SEEN PICTURES, MAJOR DESTRUCTION IN THE CAMP WHERE MOST OF THE FIGHTING HAS TAKEN PLACE. PALESTINIAN OFFICIALS SAY 16 PEOPLE HAVE NOW BEEN KILLED AND MORE THAN 80 INJURED. THAT DEATH TOLL, INCLUDING THE FIGHTERS. NOW, WE WERE IN ALPHA YESTERDAY FOLLOWING AN IDF RAID. TWO CHILDREN WERE KILLED THERE AS THE IDF RAIDED HOUSE TO THE MOSQUE THERE WAS DESTROYED IN A DRONE ATTACK. THE IDF SAYING, IT WAS USED AS AN EXPLOSIVE LAB. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT LOCALS THERE. RESIDENTS NOW PICKING UP THE PIECES, SWEEPING UP SMASHED STOREFRONTS. THE ROADS DAMAGED BY BULLDOZER . THERE WAS A LOT OF ANGER THERE, DIANE, TO YOU KNOW, PEOPLE FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHY DID THEY SWEEP THROUGH? AND WHEN I ASKED, WHY ARE THEY LOOKING FOR TERRORISTS, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY WOULD POINT TO THE CHILDREN AND SAY, ARE THESE REALLY TERRORISTS? AND THE HAMAS RUN HEALTH MINISTRY IS ALSO REPORTING MORE DEATHS IN GAZA. COULD THE FIGHTING THERE IMPACT ONGOING CEASEFIRE TALKS ? WELL, IT CERTAINLY WON'T HELP CEASEFIRE TALKS, BUT QUITE FRANKLY, THAT DEAL IS LOOKING VERY ELUSIVE AT THE MOMENT. WE KNOW THAT ISRAEL HAS SENT A LOW LEVEL DELEGATION. IT LOOKS LIKE MEDIATORS ARE TRYING TO KIND OF KEEP DISCUSSIONS ALIVE. BUT, YOU KNOW, ISRAEL'S WAR CABINET MET LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE IDF WOULD REMAIN IN THE PHILADELPHIA, PHILADELPHIA CORRIDOR. WE KNOW THAT IS ONE OF HAMAS'S RED LINES IDEA. THERE WOULD STILL BE A AN ISRAELI PRESENCE AT THE EGYPT GAZA BORDER IS IS SOMETHING THAT THE HAMAS SAYS JUST WON'T ACCEPT. SO THAT'S WHY FOR ALL THESE HOPES, THEN SOME OF THE RHETORIC COMING OUT FROM THE U.S. OF A PROPER CEASE FIRE, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE'RE ANYWHERE CLOSE YET, BRIT. THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS A POLIO VACCINATION CAMPAIGN WILL START IN GAZA ON SUNDAY. AND THAT COMES AFTER THE U.N. SAID A TEN MONTH OLD BABY IS PARTIALLY PARALYZED FROM THE VIRUS. SO WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT? SO, DIANE, AN ISRAELI SOURCE CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THIS PAUSE IS NOT THE START OF A FULL CEASE FIRE. SO THERE IS NO PAUSE IN TERMS OF GIVING HAMAS IMMUNITY. THEY SAID WE ARE STILL GOING AFTER THEM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE ENABLING HUMANITARIAN AID AND VACCINATIONS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NGOS AS, YOU KNOW, DIANE, HAVE BEEN BEGGING FOR FOR MANY WEEKS, 650,000 KIDS NEED TO BE VACCINATED AS PART OF THIS STAGE VACCINE ROLLOUT ACROSS THE CENTRAL SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE STRIP. BUT IT IS A LIMITED PAUSE WITH AREAS DURING EACH DAY'S STAGE. THE FIGHTING WILL BE PAUSED FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS BETWEEN SIX IN THE MORNING AND, 3 P.M. LOCAL TIME DIANE. ALL RIGHT. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT IN JERUSALEM, THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, THE LATEST ON THE DEATH OF NHL PLAYER JOHNNY GAUDREAU. WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THE ACCIDENT, THE LEGACY HE LEAVES BEHIND. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON THE GROUND IN, UKRAINE REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING, ABC LIVE IS RIGHT THERE EVERYWHERE FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE FOR UKRAINE.

YOU HAD SUSPECTS, ALL THESE KINDS OF LEADS AND NO ONE 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, THIS EARTH, THAT HORRIFIC, THIS BEAUTIFUL CONTROL, 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 PRESIDENT. NOW, FINALLY, KAMALA HARRIS, WE NEED THE PROMISE OF AMERICA. DONALD TRUMP. WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN. FACE TO FACE. HISTORIC. THE ABC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE, MODERATED BY DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS, LIVE CREW AND HISTORY PLUS THE ABC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST WE ARE FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS FROM THE NHL. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS STAR JOHNNY GOODROW IS DEAD AT 31 YEARS OLD. POLICE IN HIS HOME STATE OF NEW JERSEY SAY CAR HIT AND KILLED GOODROW AND HIS BROTHER AS THEY WERE RIDING THEIR BIKES LAST NIGHT. ABC NEWS MORGAN NORWOOD JOINS US NOW. MORGAN, WHAT MORE ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT? >> WHAT HAPPENED HERE? WELL, DIANE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A HORRIFIC INCIDENT THAT'S SENDING SHOCKWAVES THROUGHOUT THE NHL AND ALSO THE SPORTS WORLD. AS YOU POINTED OUT, COLUMBUS JACKETS FORWARD JOHNNY GAUDREAU KILLED AS HE WAS BIKING WITH HIS BROTHER MATTHEW LAST NIGHT AND THEIR HOMETOWN OF SALEM COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. THAT IS SOUTH JERSEY. SO WHAT IS SO HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR STORY IS THAT THE BROTHERS WERE ACTUALLY TOWN FOR THEIR SISTER'S WEDDING. POLICE SAY A DRIVER THAT WE NOW KNOW HAS BEEN AS SEAN HIGGINS PLOWED HIS JEEP INTO THE TWO WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER SUV ON A ROAD AND THEN TOOK OFF FROM THE SCENE. NOT ONLY THAT, AUTHORITIES ALSO BELIEVE THIS PARTICULAR DRIVER, SEAN HIGGINS, WAS DRUNK AND UNDER THE INFLUENCE. I WANT TO POINT TO SOME ADDITIONAL REPORTING THAT OUR SISTER STATION OR THAT OUR STATION, WPI DONE IN PHILLY HAS ,ACCORDING TO THE POLICE AFFIDAVIT, THE TROOPER WHO INTERVIEWED HIGGINS ON THE SCENE, YOU KNOW, SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF ALCOHOL. RIGHT. BUT ALSO, APPARENTLY, HIGGINS TOLD THAT OFFICER THAT HE CONSUMED 5 TO 6 BEERS BEFORE GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL AND INVOLVED IN THAT CRASH. BOTH BROTHERS, AS YOU POINTED OUT, WE KNOW, WERE KILLED. HIGGINS, THOUGH, IS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF DEATH BY AUTO. BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS UNFATHOMABLE. I MEAN, HE WAS A CELEBRATED AND THIS MORNING WE KNOW HIS TEAM IS ALSO RELEASING A STATEMENT ARE HEARTBROKEN SAYING QUOTE, JOHNNY PLAYED THE GAME WITH JOY, WHICH WAS FELT BY EVERYONE THAT SAW HIM ON THE ICE. HE BROUGHT A GENUINE LOVE FOR HOCKEY WITH HIM. EVERYONE EVERYWHERE HE PLAYED FROM BOSTON COLLEGE TO THE CALGARY FLAMES TO TEAM USA TO THE BLUE JACKETS, HE THRILLED FANS IN A WAY THAT ONLY JOHNNY HOCKEY COULD. SO AGAIN, INCREDIBLY HEARTBREAKING AND IT IS AND I'M SURE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT NOW ANSWER ABOUT THAT MORGAN NORWOOD THANK YOU. AND ESPN'S NATIONAL HOCKEY WRITER EMILY KAPLAN JOINS US NOW WITH MORE ON. THAT, EMILY, THIS WAS A MAN NICKNAMED JOHNNY HOCKEY. HOW BIG IS THIS LOSS, NOT JUST FOR HIS LOVED ONES, OF COURSE, BUT ALSO THE LEAGUE AND HIS FANS. >> AND, DIANE, EVERYONE I'VE TALKED TO THE HOCKEY WORLD THIS MORNING IS SHOCKED. THEY'RE GRIEVING. THEY'RE DEVASTATED THAT JOHNNY WAS BELOVED FOR WHAT HE DID ON THE ICE. HE WAS DRAFTED FIVE FOOT SIX IN THE FOURTH ROUND BY THE CALGARY FLAMES. HE'S LISTED AT FIVE FOOT NINE, A BUCK 60. NOTHING WAS GIVEN TO HIM AND TURNED INTO ONE OF THE BEST LEFT WINGERS IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE. BUT WHO KNOWS HIM, KNOWS THAT HE WAS ALL ABOUT THOSE CLOSE TO HIM SPECIFICALLY, HIS FAMILY. HE PLAYED NINE YEARS WITH THE CALGARY FLAMES AND THEN HE TURNED A LOT OF OFFERS THAT THEY HAD TO RESIGN HIM BECAUSE WANTED TO PLAY IN AMERICA SO THAT HIS WIFE MEREDITH, COULD FIND A JOB. >> BUT ALSO, THAT THEY COULD PLAY CLOSE TO BOTH OF THEIR FAMILIES. >> YOU KNOW, HE AND MATTHEW, WHO UNFORTUNATELY PASSED AWAY WITH HIM, SIGNED AT BOSTON COLLEGE AS A PACKAGE DEAL. AND SO WHEN JOHNNY WAS THIS BIG FREE AGENT IN 2022, ALL OF THESE TEAMS IN AMERICA WANTED HIM AND HE SIGNED WITH THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS. AND THAT SHOCKED A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND I REMEMBER TALKING TO JOHNNY IN NOVEMBER THAT SEASON, AND IT DIDN'T GO THE WAY THAT HE OR THE TEAM HAD HOPED. THEY WEREN'T PLAYING WELL. AND HE TOLD ME, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS OUT THERE, THE MONEY, BUT THAT COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. I LOVE IT HERE. MY WIFE LOVES IT HERE. OUR FAMILIES LOVE IT HERE. >> AND HE TOLD ME I WOULDN'T TRADE THAT DECISION FOR THE WORLD. >> AND HE WAS A FOLKLORE FIGURE EVEN BEFORE HE GOT TO THE NHL. WHAT WAS IT ABOUT HOW HE PLAYED THAT MADE PEOPLE SO EXCITED? >> RIGHT. I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE HE WAS SO UNDERSIZED. >> YOU KNOW, HOCKEY, THE BIG, TOUGH SPORT. AND THIS IS WHO WAS QUITE SMALL AND SKINNY AND FOUND WAYS TO DO THINGS CREATIVELY. WHEN HE WAS AT BOSTON COLLEGE, HE WON THE HOBEY BAKER AWARD AS THE BEST PLAYER IN ALL OF COLLEGE HOCKEY IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. >> AND THEN WHEN HE GOT TO THE CALGARY FLAMES, SOME OF HIS ACCOLADES WERE WINNING THE LADY BANG, WHICH THE MOST GENTLEMANLY PLAYER USUALLY THAT'S GIVEN TO THE TOP PLAYER WITH, THE MOST ACCOLADES AND THE MOST POINTS, BUT ALSO HAD THE LEAST PENALTY. SO HE WAS VERY BELOVED FOR JUST THE WAY THAT HE PLAYED. HE WAS SUPER. AGAIN, ONE OF THE BEST LEFT WINGERS IN THE LEAGUE. HE PLAYED FOR THE UNITED IN SO MANY TOURNAMENTS, AND WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE NHL PLAYERS REENTER THE WORLD STAGE WITH A FOUR NATIONS CUP COMING THIS FEBRUARY. HOCKEY ARE EXPECTED TO THE OLYMPICS IN MILAN IN 2026 FROM THE NHL. >> AND I KNOW THAT JOHNNY WOULD HAVE FIGURED INTO TEAM USA PLANS AS A B, C ALUM MYSELF, IT'S HARD TO OVERSTATE HOW BELOVED HE WAS AND IS THERE SO HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'LL REMEMBER? >> PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER BOTH ON AND OFF THE ICE. >> I THINK AS A FAMILY MAN, I THINK THAT DECISION TO LEAVE CALGARY FOR FAMILY CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIS WIFE MEREDITH, WHERE THEY WANTED TO RAISE TWO KIDS, THEY HAVE TWO YOUNG ONES, NOAH AND JOHNNY JUNIOR. THAT IS WHAT I THINK WE'RE ALL GOING TO REMEMBER. HE WAS SO TO MATTY, HIS BROTHER, AGAIN. THEY SIGNED AT BOSTON COLLEGE AS A PACKAGE DEAL. >> HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER OFTEN TOOK ROAD TRIPS TO GO TO THEIR GAMES, AND ALL OF THE GUYS THAT HE PLAYED WITH JUST SAID LIKE HE WAS SUCH A GOOD GUY HE LOVED THE GAME. HE LOVED TO PLAY. HE OFTEN HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE CARED SO DEEPLY ABOUT HIS TEAMMATES. AND I THINK THAT'S THE LEGACY THE GOODROW FAMILY WILL CELEBRATE ON FOR. >> AND I THINK FANS WILL L HUGE. >> ESPN NATIONAL HOCKEY WRITER EMILY KAPLAN. EMILY, THANK YOU. >> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR IN ROLLING FORWARD THIS TORE THROUGH THIS TOWN FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE.

YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE FOR US. IT IS TIME FROM A SET OF METHODS WHERE SHOW YOU SOME OF MY FAVORITE HACKS TO MAKE LIFE A LITTLE EASIER. AND TODAY HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST HERE TO HELP SAVE US SOME TIME AND STRESS AND PACKING LUNCHES. CO-FOUNDER OF FEEDING LITTLE IS REGISTERED NUTRITIONIST MEGAN MCNAMEE IS. HERE TO SHOW US HOW IT'S DONE. MEGAN, I'M SO EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU AND I'M SURE SO MANY PARENTS RIGHT NOW ARE WAITING TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY BECAUSE IT CAN BE TOUGH IN THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE MORNING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HECK AM I GOING TO PUT THIS LUNCHBOX? SO I KNOW THAT YOU SPECIALIZE IN MATERNAL AND CHILD NUTRITION. SO LET'S START THERE. RIGHT? WE ALL WANT OUR KIDS EATING FRUITS AND VEGGIES. BUT IF YOU HAVE A PICKY EATER, HOW DO YOU GET THEM TO EAT THAT SCHOOL WHEN YOU'RE NOT EVEN THERE? >> RIGHT. SO SCHOOL LUNCH IS A LITTLE TOUGH BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONTROL OVER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE THERE. BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU TAP IN THE LUNCH AND YOU CAN ONLY DO YOUR BEST AND PUTTING IN SOME BALANCE AND EXPOSURE AND VARIETY EVERY TIME YOU PACK. BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK A LOT OF PARENTS MISS. THEY THINK THAT IT HAS TO BE COLORFUL WITH LIKE A RAINBOW. AND EVERY SINGLE LUNCH OR THAT THEY HAVE TO DO, YOU KNOW, A GOOGLY EYEBALL OR A FUNNY SHAPE TO MAKE THEIR KID EAT IT ONCE IT CAN BE SIMPLE, WE JUST RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING OF A METHOD TO MAKING SURE THAT IT'S BALANCED SO YOU WANT A CARBOHYDRATE, A PROTEIN, A FRUIT, A VEGGIE, AND THEN EITHER A DIP OR A CHIP OR SOME SORT OF DESSERT IN TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S BALANCED. >> AND THEY'RE GETTING THAT EXPOSURE TO ALL THOSE DIFFERENT FOODS. >> AND SO WHAT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE IT BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE, I KNOW I'M SENDING THIS, YOU KNOW, LUNCHBOX FULL OF STUFF AND I KNOW THE BROCCOLI IS COMING BACK OR THE CARROTS ARE GOING TO BE UNEATEN, RIGHT? THE DIP, THE DESSERT PART, THAT'S TO BE GONE. SO THAT CAN BE FRUSTRATING, RIGHT? YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE FOOD, RIGHT? >> ABSOLUTELY. ONE THING YOU CAN DO AND I ACTUALLY CAN SHOW YOU IN THIS BOX HERE, YOU CAN SEE THIS. I DON'T HAVE A SPECIAL OVERHEAD CAMERA IN MY HOUSE, UNFORTUNATELY. >> BUT WE HAVE ONE PIECE OF BREAD HERE, ONE PIECE AT THAT, AND THAT'S EXPOSURE TO BELL PEPPER. AND THEN IF THEY DON'T EAT IT, IT'S ONLY ONE BELL PEPPER WASTED. NO, MIND YOU LEAVE FOR LUNCH, COMES BACK COLD BECAUSE YOU KEPT IT ON TWO ICE PACKS. WE RECOMMEND LIKE A THIN I CAP ON THE TOP IN THE BOTTOM IF IT STILL COMES BACK HOLD AND IT IS STILL SAFE TO EAT SO IT CAN BE SOMETHING YOU'RE TAKING ALSO EAT AFTER SCHOOL IF THEY'RE INTERESTED OR IF IT WANTS TO BE. YOUR SNACK AFTER THE END OF THE DAY TO YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE WASTED. >> IF IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN THE SCAVENGER THAT GOES THROUGH MY KID'S LUNCHBOX AND EATS WHAT'S LEFTOVER. SO I'M GLAD THAT THAT'S A SAFE THING TO DO. TALK TO ME ABOUT LEFTOVERS, TOO, BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU CAN JUST UTILIZE LEFTOVERS. SO WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE LEFTOVERS TO SERVE FOR LUNCH AND? >> ANY TIPS TO SAVE ON PREP TIME THERE? YES, I LIKE COOKING AT NIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE, BECAUSE I LIKE MAKING FOOD AND GETTING THAT KITCHEN MESSY ALL AT ONCE AND THEN PLOPPING IT INTO THE LUNCH BOX AND BEING DONE WITH IT. THEN IT'S GOING INTO THE FRIDGE AND THE NEXT DAY, TAKE IT OUT, GET ON THE ICE AND SEND IT TO SCHOOL. I ONLY DIRTY MY KITCHEN ONE TIME AND THEN I CAN USE ANYTHING THAT I'M PREPPING FOR DINNER OR ANY FOR DINNER TO POP IN THE LUNCHBOX. SO I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE HERE. >> THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT MY KIDS ARE HAVING TODAY. IF LIKE PASTA, SOME MEATBALLS AND CARROT CHIPS AND THERE'S A LITTLE MARINARA SAUCE IN THE MIDDLE FOR MY LITERALLY TAKE THE PHOTO 40%. AND THEY LOVE THIS. >> THIS IS ONE OF THEIR FAVORITES. IT'S NOT COMPLICATED AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I MADE FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT AND I CAN LITERALLY POP IN SURF CALLED AND GIVE IT TO THEM FOR LUNCH THE NEXT DAY. IT'S AGAIN, IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT FORMULA. STICK TO JUST THAT BALANCE OF NUTRIENTS BUT IT DOESN'T TO BE SUPER COMPLICATED THAT IS SO CREATIVE ONE THE SERVE COLD PART I'M NOT SURE I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT AND THE SAUCE AS A DIP I LOVE THAT. AND THEN AS YOU'RE PEELING AND CUTTING THINGS FOR DINNER, YOU JUST DON'T WRITE IN THE LUNCHBOX. >> THAT'S WE GO TO SCHOOL REALLY WELL YOU THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE LUNCHES IN THE MORNING. OH, YEAH, EXACTLY. IT JUST WOULDN'T HAPPEN. SO I HAVE TO DO IT AT NIGHT AND IT STAYS REALLY NICE. >> ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A LUNCHBOX THAT HAS MULTIPLE CONTAINERS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, SEALED WHEN YOU SHUT THE BOX, IT ACTUALLY STAYS REALLY WELL UNTIL THE NEXT THING. >> ALL RIGHT, ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU, MEGAN. I STILL HAVE MEMORIES OF BITING INTO MY TURKEY TOMATO AS A KID, WHICH I LOVED FOR SOME REASON. BUT ONE SIDE OF THE BREAD WAS ALWAYS SOGGY BY LUNCH. HOW DO YOU PREVENT YOUR SANDWICHES FROM BECOMING THAT KIND OF MUSHY, SOGGY TEXTURE? >> YEAH. SO THAT'S SUCH A GREAT, GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF US RELATE TO THAT SANDWICH SHOULD GET SOGGY FROM ME, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MOISTURE, THE INGREDIENTS INSIDE, IF THAT TOMATO OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NEEDED IS PRETTY JUICY. SO IT SOUNDS REALLY COUNTERINTUITIVE, BUT ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO IS PUT A SPREAD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SANDWICH. SO ON BOTH OF BREAD AND INITIALLY WITH THAT TURKEY. BUT THIS IS SUNFLOWER BUTTER. I PUT IT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BREAD. AND THEN WHEN I ADD SMASH RASPBERRIES, WHICH BY THE WAY, IS SO GOOD, IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED THIS REALLY TASTY SMASH UP SOME RASPBERRIES, LITERALLY WITH A FORK ON THE BREAD, AND THEN WHEN YOU SEAL IT TOGETHER, THAT BREAD DOESN'T GET SOGGY. BUT THE DON'T GO THROUGH BECAUSE THAT SUNFLOWER SEED BUTTER IS CREATING THAT NICE LITTLE LAYER. >> OKAY, WAIT ONE. >> I LOVE THE TIP FOR THIS. NO SOGGY BREAD, BUT SMASH RASPBERRIES. IT'S KIND OF LIKE A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY, BUT WITHOUT ALL THE EXTRA SUGAR THAT OFTEN COMES THE JELLY WE BUY AT THE STORE. >> WELL, AND YOU KNOW, JELLY IS GREAT, TOO, BUT IT'S SO TASTY, LIKE, IT'S DELICIOUS. AND IT'S A GREAT WAY TO TRY FRUIT AND IF YOU'RE A BIG FAN OF THE NICE TWIST ON IT, IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT I EAT ALL THE TIME. >> I LOVE IT AND MY KIDS LOVE IT. AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE BIRDS, ONE STONE. >> HERE I AM GOING TO TRY THAT ONE. MEGHAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S ALWAYS SO GREAT TO TALK TO YOU. I LOVE YOUR IDEAS. THANK YOU. BIG HUGS TO JUDY AS WELL FOR US. THE OTHER DUO AS PART FEEDING LITTLES. AND REMEMBER, MEGHAN'S NEW BOOK, FEEDING LITTLES LUNCHES IS NOW ANYWHERE YOU GET BOOKS AND REMEMBER HEARING MY STATE OF MEMPHIS. WHAT PROBLEM DO YOU WANT TO SEND ME A MESSAGE ON INSTAGRAM AT DIANA? >> MESSAGE TO AND WE JUST MIGHT TACKLE IT IN THE NEXT MISSTATED METHODS AND THE US OPEN IS IN FULL SWING. SO IS THE FASHION. NAOMI OSAKA WENT OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT AND SPORTING A LOOK BY NIKE AND THE DESIGNER UNION . SO HOW CAN WE MAKE TENNIS CORE WORK FOR US? NONE. CELEBRITY STARS.

AND SHE DID TAKE THE JACKET OFF TO PLAY. SO SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE GIANT BOW ON HER FOR THE ACTUAL. YES SPECULATION POINT OUT. BUT THESE LOOKS ARE CATCHING ON EVEN FOR NON TENNIS PLAYERS. YOU MENTIONED ZENDAYA'S. SHE'S BEEN A HUGE BEHIND THIS TREND. WHAT ELSE IS BEHIND IT? WHY IS TENNIS COURT TAKING OVER TAKE TACTIC? >> THE BEAUTY OF THE TREND LIES IN ITS VERSATILITY. >> YOU KNOW I MEAN INDIA SHE CLEARLY SHOWED YOU I MEAN AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE BASIS WHICH IS THE TENNIS SKIRT OR THE A-LINE SKIRT YOU CAN BUILD THERE YOU CAN BLEND IT WITH STREET WEAR OR EVEN FORMAL WEAR, AS LONG AS HAVE THE STAPLE PIECES AND THE TREND, YOU'LL BE FINE. SO HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS TREND WORK FOR YOU, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A SUPERSTAR LIKE ZENDAYA OR AN ATHLETE? >> WELL, LET'S NOT FORGET TENNIS CORE IS LUXURY. ATHLEISURE. AND LIKE THE VIRAL TIKTOK CRAZE GOES, TENNIS CORE IS VERY DEMURE, VERY, VERY MINDFUL. >> YEAH. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE STAY WITHIN THAT KNOW ESTHETIC. >> ALL RIGHT. GOOD TIPS.

HEALTH OFFICIALS ON ALERT AS REPORTS OF MOSQUITO BORNE ILLNESSES SPREAD ACROSS THE U.S.. DOCTORS SAY A MISSOURI TEEN IS ON A VENTILATOR WITH COMPLICATIONS FROM THE WEST NILE VIRUS. AND NOW MORE CASES OF TRIPLE H VIRUS ARE BEING REPORTED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. ABC NEWS ERIELLE RESHEF HAS THE DETAILS AS TEAMS IN NEW YORK CITY AND ALONG NORTHEAST UNLEASH AN ATTACK ON MOSQUITOES FROM THE AIR AND STREETS. HEALTH OFFICIALS IN WISCONSIN CONFIRMING TWO PEOPLE HAVE NOW DIED IN THAT STATE FROM WEST NILE VIRUS. NEARLY 290 CASES REPORTED ACROSS MORE THAN 30 STATES. THE MOSQUITO TRANSMITTED ILLNESS, ACCOUNTING FOR 100 TO 200 DEATHS EACH YEAR. IN MISSOURI, 18-YEAR-OLD JOHN PROCTOR, THE SIXTH NOW ON A VENTILATOR, CONTRACTING DISEASE EARLY THIS MONTH. HIS PARENTS SAY SYMPTOMS STARTED WITH HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS, THEN SPIRALED INTO VOMITING, DISORIENTATION AND A DANGEROUS FEVER. >> AND TO SEE HIM LETHARGIC AND STRUGGLE TO DO SIMPLE, BASIC FUNCTIONS.

THE DOCTORS THIS AS A MARATHON TO BEAT THIS VIRUS SINCE THERE'S NO ACTUAL FOR IT. >> MANY WHO GET WEST NILE MAY NOT EVER FEEL SICK, BUT ONE OUT OF EVERY 150 PEOPLE INFECTED MAY SERIOUS, EVEN FATAL ILLNESS. >> AND CONCERN ABOUT ANOTHER RARE BUT POTENTIALLY LETHAL MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS, TRIPLE WITH SIX PEOPLE SICKENED IN AT LEAST FIVE STATES. AND THERE IS NO VACCINE TO PREVENT THESE MOSQUITO-BORNE INFECTIONS. AND THOUGH SEVERE CASES AND DEATH ARE VERY RARE. OFFICIALS IN SEVERAL STATES, INCLUDING HERE IN NEW YORK, ARE URGING PEOPLE TO LIMIT OUTDOOR FROM DUSK TO DAWN UNTIL THE FIRST FROST. DIANE, ABC NEWS, ERIELLE RESHEF. THANK YOU. AND IT'S TIME NOW FOR OUR WEEKLY SEGMENT. BUT TELL IT LIKE IT IS. WE'RE ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR DR. ALOK PATEL PATEL SHARES HEALTH ADVICE ON THE TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU AND TODAY HE'S ANSWERING SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS. SO DR. PATEL, LET'S START WITH THESE CONCERNS OVER MOSQUITO-BORNE ILLNESSES THAT ERIELLE JUST MENTIONED BECAUSE OUR FIRST QUESTION COMES FROM GRACE, WHO ASKS, ARE THERE ALL OR DIY MOSQUITO REPELLENTS YOU CAN MAKE AT HOME? >> POPULAR QUESTION AND A VERY TIMELY ONE. THE MOST ALL NATURAL WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST MOSQUITOES IS TO CREATE A BARRIER INDOORS WEARING CLOTHING USING MOSQUITO NETS. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO REPELLENTS ,WHICH ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING EPA REGISTERED REPELLENTS YOU CAN SOMETIMES SEE ON A BOTTLE IF YOU LOOK AT A STORE AND IT MIGHT SAY ON THE BACK REGISTERED WITH THE EPA, OR YOU CAN EVEN GO ONLINE TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S WEBSITE AND LOOK UP THOSE INGREDIENTS. THESE ARE REPELLENTS THAT MAY HAVE INGREDIENTS SUCH AS DEET, PMD, OR OIL OF LEMON EUCALYPTUS. THERE ARE OTHER PRODUCTS THAT MAY CONTAIN SOMETHING CITRONELLA, PEPPERMINT OIL, CINNAMON OIL. THEY SMELL, BUT THEY'RE NOT AS EFFECTIVE. SO IT'S IMPORTANT YOU LOOK AT EPA REGISTERED, YOU USE THE ACCOUNT EXACTLY AS DIRECTED. YOU DON'T PUT THEM ON BROKEN SKIN AND SUNSCREEN FIRST. SOMETIMES THOSE PRODUCTS LIKE THOSE FANCY CANDLES, THEY MAY SMELL GREAT, BUT THEY'RE NOT THAT EFFECTIVE AT KEEPING MOSQUITOES AWAY. >> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT AN UNPUBLISHED STUDY THAT FOUND THAT SLEEPING IN ON WEEKENDS REDUCE THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF WEEKDAY SLEEP LOSS, LOWERING THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE BY UP TO 20%. NOW HAS YET TO BE VETTED THROUGH THE NORMAL SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PROCESS. BUT I WANTED TO GET YOUR YOUR TAKE ON THE HEADLINE HERE. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS DAN? I FEEL LIKE I CAN ALREADY SEE THE WHEELS TURNING IN YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU SAY SLEEP? I'M LIKE, OH, THIS IS AN UNPUBLISHED STUDY, MEANING IT'S NOT BEEN PEER REVIEWED, AS YOU MENTIONED, FROM THE EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CONGRESS. IT DID FIND THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO ARE SLEEP DEPRIVED WHEN THEY CATCH UP ON, SLEEP OVER THE WEEKENDS, OVER TIME, IT CAN REDUCE YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE. NOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF ASTERISKS. NUMBER ONE, THE STUDY DID NOT EXACTLY DEFINE HOW MUCH SLEEP PEOPLE NEEDED TO, QUOTE, CATCH UP ON ON WEEKENDS TO RECEIVE THIS. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT IN THIS STUDY, THE AUTHORS SLEEP DEPRIVATION AS AT LESS THAN 7 HOURS OF SLEEP, WHICH I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY A LOT OF PEOPLE GET UNDER 7 HOURS OF SLEEP REGULARLY. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE REMEMBER THAT REGULAR, CONSISTENT SLEEP OF 8 HOURS A DAY ALL DAYS OF THE WEEK IS WHAT YOU REALLY TO DO TO OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH. AND IT'S HARD TO SAY IF EXTRA SLEEP ON THE WEEKENDS WAS REALLY THE REASON PEOPLE HAD IMPROVED HEART HEALTH OR IF IT WAS ACTUALLY SLEEP LEADING TO DECREASED STRESS OR SOME OTHER ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE. SO TAKEAWAY IS DON'T JUST RELY ON WEEKENDS TO CATCH UP ON YOUR SLEEP. PLEASE TRY TO GET CONSISTENT GOOD SLEEP SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. >> YOUR HEART WILL THANK YOU SO DIANE MACEDO. I ALSO FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO ADD THAT IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATING A LOT BETWEEN YOUR SLEEP SCHEDULE DURING THE WEEK AND ON THE WEEKEND, YOU END UP WITH SOMETHING CALLED SOCIAL JETLAG. YOUR CIRCADIAN RHYTHM IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY SLEEPING, THIS MAY BE SOMETHING TO AVOID AND TRY AIM FOR CONSISTENCY AND SAID YOU SPOKE TO MY SOUL YOU SAY AND I SAID IT ALL AND DR. PATEL FINALLY, RACHEL, NEW YORK ASKS I HAVE A BIG EVENT AT THE END OF OCTOBER AND. >> I DON'T WANT TO GET SICK. SO WHEN'S THE BEST TIME TO GET A COVID BOOSTER AND FLU SHOT? >> OH, IF I HAD A QUARTER FOR EVERY TIME SOMEONE ASKED THIS QUESTION IN THE PAST WEEK, I WOULD HAVE LIKE A DOLLAR 50. >> BUT BESIDES THAT, THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR PEOPLE OUT THERE, GIVEN THE FACT THAT RESTAURANT VIRUSES ARE COMING NOW, TYPICALLY WITH THE FLU SHOT AND THE COVID BOOSTER, IT'S ABOUT 10 TO 14 DAYS AFTER YOU GET THE SHOT, WHEN YOU'RE YOU GET OPTIMAL PROTECTION. >> SO WANT TO TRY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE DOING, ARE GOING TO BE TRAVELING THIS WINTER WHEN YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE FULLY PROTECTED. IF YOU'RE HIGH RISK ABOVE THE AGE OF 65 OR IMMUNOCOMPROMISED, IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO GO OUT AND GET THOSE SHOTS. WHENEVER YOU IN GENERAL, I LIKE TO SAY EARLY OCTOBER, EARLY OCTOBER IS A GOOD TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PROTECTED BEFORE HOLIDAYS START. IT GIVES PEOPLE TIME TO GET ORGANIZED. MAKE SURE YOU GO GET IN THOSE SHOTS. FOR OTHERS OUT THERE, SEPTEMBER MIGHT BE A GREAT TIME AS WELL. IMPORTANT REMINDER THAT YOU CAN GET THE COVID AND THE FLU SHOT AT THE SAME TIME. YOU CAN EVEN GET IT WITH RSV. IT IS TOTALLY SAFE. EFFECTIVE TO DO SO IS ALSO A GOOD TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE CAUGHT UP ON OTHER VACCINES AS. WELL, SO DEFINITELY GET IN THERE AND GET THOSE SHOTS BEFORE YOU PLAN ALL YOUR FUN FALL AND WINTER FESTIVITIES. >> ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD, DOCTOR PATEL, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, DR. PATEL, LEAVE HIM A MESSAGE ON HER INSTAGRAM FEED. HE MIGHT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION RIGHT HERE NEXT WEEK.

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS SITTING DOWN HER FIRST MEDIA INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. HARRIS AND HER RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ, SPEAKING TO CNN ABOUT. THEIR TOP PRIORITIES, IF THEY WIN IN NOVEMBER, ON DAY ONE, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT ONE. >> IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN, WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. I'VE ALREADY LAID OUT A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS IN THAT REGARD, WHICH INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESSES, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN FAMILIES. ON THE GOP SIDE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TODAY WITH A RALLY IN ANOTHER KEY SWING STATE THIS TIME. IT'S PENNSYLVANIA. OUR JAY O'BRIEN JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH CONTRIBUTING POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT RACHAEL BAY. JAY, LET'S START WITH YOU. I'M CURIOUS WHAT STOOD OUT TO YOU FROM THAT INTERVIEW LAST NIGHT? AND DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO START SEEING HARRIS TALK MORE, THE PRESS? WELL, WE'VE SEEN THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN CERTAINLY INDICATE THAT MORE ARE IN HER FUTURE, INCLUDING ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS, BECAUSE THAT WAS INTERVIEW IN WHICH TIM WALZ WAS ALSO IN THE ROOM IN TERMS OF HEADLINES THAT OUT . THERE'S A FEW. BUT THE ONE THAT GOT THE MOST HEADLINES WAS HARRIS SAYING THAT SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO INCLUDE A REPUBLICAN IN HER CABINET, THAT HER VISION FOR HER CABINET SHOULD SHE BE ELECTED INCLUDES A REPUBLICAN AND SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE EXACTLY IN MIND. >> BUT THE MOST CONTENTIOUS PART OF THE INTERVIEW WAS ROUGHLY AROUND. WELL, THERE WERE TWO. ONE WAS WHEN HARRIS WAS ASKED TO ADDRESS THOSE PERSONAL ATTACKS DONALD TRUMP HAS LEVELED AT HER QUESTIONING HER RACE. SHE JUST SOMEWHAT SAID NEXT QUESTION AND SAID IT WAS SAME OLD, SAME ALL OUT OF TRUMP. AND THEN THERE WAS THIS EXCHANGE ABOUT HARRIS AND ALLEGED FLIP FLOPPING. REPUBLICANS HAVE CRITICIZED HARRIS FOR FLIP FLOPPING ON, VARIOUS THINGS FROM THE LAST TIME SHE RAN FOR PRESIDENT TO THIS CAMPAIGN. ONE OF THEM IS FRACKING. SHE SAID SHE WAS AGAINST FRACKING AND NOW SHE HAS NOT SAID THAT. OBVIOUSLY, PENNSYLVANIA IS A STATE THAT'S VERY MUCH IN PLAY AND IT'S A MUST WIN STATE FOR BOTH CAMPAIGNS. HARRIS RESPONDED TO THAT IN A WAY THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO QUELL THOSE ATTACKS FROM REPUBLICANS. SHE SAID HER VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED, BUT SHE DIDN'T NECESSARILY WHY SOME FOUR POLICY POSITIONS HAD. >> ALL RIGHT, LET'S TALK ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. YESTERDAY, HE SAID HE'D MAKE IVF TREATMENTS FREE IF HE'S REELECTED. WHAT'S THIS NEW PROMISE? ONE WORD FOR EVER DESPERATE. I MEAN, DONALD TRUMP RIGHT NOW, HE IS LOOKING AT THE POLLS. HE'S LOOKING AT THE ENTHUSIASM SURROUNDING HARRIS AND HER CAMPAIGN AND. CLEARLY, YOU KNOW, HE'S A LITTLE GREEN, A LITTLE ENVIOUS. HE'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING ANYTHING TO BLUNT HER MOMENTUM. AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN HIM SORT OF FLIP FLOPPING ON ABORTION. AND JUST YESTERDAY, THIS SORT OF NBC INTERVIEW, IVF WAS ONE OF THE SORT OF PIECES OF NEWS HE MADE THERE. BUT HE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT HE WAS OPPOSED TO FLORIDA SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN, WHICH IS GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT THIS FALL. HIS CAMPAIGN LATER SORT OF WALKED THAT BACK WHEN THE PRO-LIFE COMMUNITY WAS UP IN ARMS OVER HIS COMMENT. HE ALSO MENTIONED, AYOU JUST SAID, THIS IVF PROPOSAL THAT AMERICANS ARE GOING TO GET FREE IVF IF THEY'RE HAVING FERTILITY STRUGGLES OR THAT THEY WERE GOING TO MANDATE INSURANCE COMPANIES COVER THAT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU HEAR REPUBLICANS TALKING ABOUT EVER ,EVER. AND JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, IN FACT, DEMOCRATS SAID PUT A BILL ON THE SENATE FLOOR THAT WOULD HAVE MANDATED INSURANCE COMPANIES COVER IVF. >> GUESS WHAT? ALL BUT THREE REPUBLICANS ENDED UP VOTING AGAINST IT. SO HE'S SORT OF PULLING OUT THESE IDEAS, TRYING TO WIN OVER VOTERS. BUT THE TRUTH IS, WHEN IT COMES TO ABORTION, THE NARRATIVE IS SORT OF ALREADY BAKED. PEOPLE SEE HIM AS THE PERSON WHO OVERTURNED ROE AND ACTUALLY BRAGGED ABOUT IT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. >> SO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS NEW ABC NEWS IPSOS POLL ON ELECTION LEGITIMACY BREAK DOWN WHAT THE NUMBERS SHOW US HERE. YEAH, A 68% OF THOSE POLLED SAID BELIEVE KAMALA HARRIS IS PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS. ON THE FLIP OF THAT, YOU SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS ON YOUR SCREEN. >> 67% SUPPORT THE SAME NUMBER SO THAT THEY DON'T BELIEVE DONALD TRUMP IS PREPARED TO THE SAME THING TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF A LEGITIMATE ELECTION AND OBVIOUSLY THAT IS CONCERNING GIVEN THE EVENTS OF THE ELECTION IN 2020. THE OTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THE PARTY BREAKDOWN HERE. SO THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT OF MORE OF A SILVER LINING. 89% OF DEMOCRATS SAID THEY PERSONALLY ARE PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. ONLY ABOUT 11% OF DEMOCRATS SAID THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OR NOT PREPARED TO. >> AND FOR REPUBLICANS, IT WAS ALSO A HIGH 78% OF REPUBLICANS SAID THEY WERE PERSONALLY TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. BUT THERE WAS A HIGHER NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS THAN DEMOCRATS WHO SAID THEY WERE NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME. 19% OF REPUBLICANS SAID THAT THEY'RE NOT PREPARED RIGHT NOW TO THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. >> INTERESTING NUMBERS TO LOOK AT. JAY O'BRIEN AND RACHEL BAY, THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING WITH US. AND SEPTEMBER 10TH, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS. AGAIN, THAT IS SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH IT RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. WELL, IT'S TIME TO BUCKLE UP FOR THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH. AND IF YOU'RE HEADED TO THE AIRPORT TODAY, LEAVE EARLY. IT'S EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAY OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. TSA OFFICIALS PREPARING A SCREENING AT LEAST 2.8 MILLION PASSENGERS TODAY ALONE WITH CHICAGO DFW AND ATLANTA EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORT HUBS. AIRPORT OFFICIALS IN THOSE CITIES WARNING THAT STORMY WEATHER BE A WILD CARD. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE SKIES. THE ROADS WILL BE WITH TRAFFIC TO TRIPOLI WARNING MILLIONS MORE AMERICANS WILL TAKE A ROAD TRIP THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. OUR BUSINESS REPORTER, ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS TRACKING IT ALL. SHE JOINS US NOW. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS OH, BOY. >> WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW AS WE HEAD INTO THIS RECORD BREAKING TRAVEL WEEKEND? IT'S BEEN A RECORD BREAKING TRAVEL, SUMMER. WE'VE HAD TO PACK OUR PATIENTS BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN CANCELLATIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN DELAYS. SO FAR, SO GOOD. LOOK, LABOR DAY IS NOT JULY 4TH. IT'S NOT THANKSGIVING WEEKEND. >> SO TRAVEL WILL BE BIG, BUT NOT AS BIG AS THOSE WEEKEND. LOTS OF FOLKS, KIDS ARE BACK AT SCHOOL. RIGHT. BUT AS YOU SAID IT, IT'S WORTH SAYING SOME THESE NUMBERS, 17 MILLION PLUS EXPECTED TO FLY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THAT'S UP AND A HALF PERCENT FROM LAST YEAR. >> MOST OF THESE TRIPS ARE DOMESTIC, BY THE WAY. 2.8 MILLION EXPECTED TO FLY TODAY ALONE. A BIG WHY AIRFARES ARE ACTUALLY DOWN, ACCORDING TO HOPPER. AIRFARES ARE DOWN 5% VERSUS LAST LABOR DAY. AND ACTUALLY DOWN 17% VERSUS 2019. >> THAT'S PRE-PANDEMIC. OH WOW. THOSE ARE GOOD NUMBERS. LET'S TALK ABOUT GAS PRICES. HOW IS THAT GOING TO FACTOR INTO ALL OF THIS? YOU KNOW, NOT AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT THINK, BUT IT CERTAINLY HELPFUL. I DON'T THINK IT'S A MAKE OR BREAK DECISION FOR FOLKS WHO WERE GOING TO TAKE TO THE ROAD ANYWAY. BUT THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS IF YOU ARE TAKING TO THE ROAD LABOR DAY WEEKEND, IT'S GOING TO COST YOU LESS, TOO, TO FILL UP YOUR TANK. GAS NOW AT 335 A GALLON. THAT'S ABOUT $0.50 BELOW WHERE IT WAS LAST YEAR. SO THAT'S SOME GOOD NEWS FOR DRIVERS. AND AGAIN, RECORD NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPECTED TO TAKE TO THE ROAD THIS THIS WEEKEND. >> I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE JUST TRAVELING MORE IN GENERAL. THEY ARE. JUST TELL US BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ALSO TALK A LOT ABOUT HOW INFLATION AND EVERYTHING COSTS MORE. RIGHT. IS THERE A CONFIDENCE THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO SPEND THEIR MONEY? >> I THINK IT'S PEOPLE ARE PICKING AND CHOOSING WHERE THEY'RE SPENDING THEIR MONEY AND IT'S STILL ON EXPERIENCES VERSUS THINGS. SO WE MAY HAVE LESS MONEY. I THINK A LOT OF US ARE GETTING USED TO. UNFORTUNATELY, STICKY INFLATION HIGHER PRICES. BUT WE'RE STILL BELIEVING THAT THERE'S VALUE IN TRAVEL. THERE'S VALUE IN SPENDING TIME WITH THE FAMILY. AND I THINK THOSE CHEAPER AIRFARES AND THE LOWER GAS ARE HELPING PEOPLE MAKE THAT DECISION TO SEE ALL PEOPLE OUT THERE THIS WEEKEND. OH, ME INCLUDED. I'M HITTING THE ROAD IN A LITTLE WHILE. SAME. OKAY. GOOD LUCK TO US. YES. PRAY FOR US. THANK. AND THAT EXTREME WEATHER IS THREATENING TO DISRUPT TRAVEL FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SEVERE STORMS SLAMMED MIDWEST OVERNIGHT, BRINGING STRONG WINDS, HAIL AND EVEN TORNADOES . AT LEAST FOUR REPORTED TWISTERS TOUCHED DOWN IN WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA. TENNIS BALL SIZED HAIL ALSO SLAMMED PARTS OF VIRGINIA YESTERDAY. SO THAT IT ACTUALLY COVERED THE GROUND THERE. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING THE FORECAST FOR US. MELISSA. HOW IS OUR DAY WEEKEND LOOKING? >> WELL, IT WAS LOOKING GOOD IN A LOT OF SPOTS, BUT WE'VE GOT TO GET THROUGH THESE STORMS FOR US. IF YOU'RE TRAVELING TODAY OR TOMORROW. NOW, THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE STORMS, IT'S GOING TO BREAK THIS HEAT FINALLY. BUT HAVE ONE MORE DAY TO DEAL WITH THIS FEELING LIKE A TRIPLE DIGITS ACROSS BOARD FROM OHIO ALL THE WAY TO THE DEEP SOUTH. WE STILL HAVE A HEAT ADVISORY, ST. LOUIS TO CHARLESTON, WHERE IT FEELS LIKE OVER 99 DEGREES THERE. BUT THE STORMS THAT WE HAVE TWO POCKETS I'M WATCHING FOR POTENTIAL ISSUES DUE TO THESE STORMS. DETROIT HERE, IF YOU'RE FLYING OUT OF DETROIT AIRPORT OR TRAVELING THERE, THIS IS THE AREA WE COULD SEE SEVERE WEATHER DAMAGING, WINDS, LARGE HAIL, ISOLATED TORNADOES, NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. AND THAT THREAT STRETCHES BACK TO SAINT LUIS. NOW, HERE ON THE EAST COAST, ANOTHER AREA, ROANOKE, CHARLOTTE, TO RALEIGH, IF YOU'RE GOING UP 95 ACROSS I-40 LATER THIS EVENING, WATCH FOR STORMS THERE AS WELL. THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL THEN PUSH INTO THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW. SO STARTING OFF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR PLANS IN THE NORTHEAST HARRISBURG, SCRANTON, P.A., JUST WEST OF NEW YORK CITY, BUT DOES INCLUDE PHILLY, BALTIMORE AND D.C. LATER TOMORROW, THAT'S WHERE WE COULD SEE THOSE DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL, FLASH FLOODING, AND THEN FINALLY SEE IT ALL WRAP UP. WE DO HAVE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS, THOUGH, IN EFFECT NEW ORLEANS. SO IF YOU'RE IN THE DEEP SOUTH TODAY, WATCH OUT FOR THAT HEAVY RAIN AS WELL. GET INFORMATION FOR ALL OF US AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. WHAT'S IT AGGRESSIVE? AND THANK YOU SO MUCH? WELL, NOW TO A TRAGEDY FROM THE WORLD OF SPORTS. JOHNNY GAUDREAU, ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN HOCKEY PLAYERS OF ALL TIME, IS DEAD AFTER GETTING HIT BY AN ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER IN, SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, LAST NIGHT. MORGAN NORWOOD JOINS ME NOW HERE IN STUDIO. >> AND MORGAN, WHAT ARE WE LEARNING ABOUT ALL OF THIS? WELL, EVEN AS YOU MENTIONED, IT'S JUST A HORRIFIC INCIDENT THAT'S REALLY SENDING SHOCKWAVES THROUGHOUT THE HOCKEY COMMUNITY FROM FANS . HIS FORMER ALMA MATER, IN FACT, BOSTON COLLEGE. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY THEY HELD A SHORT PRESS CONFERENCE JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. AND YOU CAN REALLY SENSE THE GRIEF. >> SO THIS IS REALLY HITTING HOME FOR SO MANY. I WANT TO TALK WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR. EVA. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS FORWARD. JOHNNY GAUDREAU KILLED AS HE WAS BIKING WITH HIS YOUNGER BROTHER MATTHEW IN THEIR HOMETOWN OF SALEM COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. HERE'S WHAT'S SO HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS, EVA. THE BROTHERS WERE ACTUALLY IN TOWN FOR THEIR SISTER'S WEDDING, AND THEY WERE BOTH. NOW, POLICE SAY A DRIVER THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SHAWN HIGGINS PLOWED HIS DEEP INTO THE TWO WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR. AND THEN TOOK OFF FROM THE SCENE. NOW, AUTHORITIES DO BELIEVE THAT DRIVER WAS DRUNK AND UNDER THE INFLUENCE, EVEN ALLEGEDLY TELLING COPS AT THE SCENE THAT HAD 5 TO 6 BEERS. HIGGINS NOW IS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF DEATH BY AUTO. BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS JUST UNFATHOMABLE. HE WAS A CELEBRATED FORWARD. AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE TEAM, THE BLUE JACKETS RELEASING THIS STATEMENT, YOU SEE IT THERE, SAYING IN PART, JOHNNY THE GAME WITH GREAT JOY, WHICH WAS FELT BY EVERYONE THAT SAW HIM ON THE ICE. AND AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE'RE HEARING FROM BOSTON COLLEGE WHERE HE WAS A STANDOUT PLAYER. HE LED THE EAGLES TO A NATIONAL TITLE, THEN WENT ON TO RECEIVE AN AWARD FOR THE NATION'S BEST COLLEGIATE B.C., SAYING THAT GAUDREAU WAS NOT ONLY THE GREATEST PLAYER OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS, BUT ALSO ONE OF THE NICEST WOULD EVER. >> AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. AGAIN, VERY MUCH STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT SO STUNNING TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW HIM. YEAH, AND JUST IMAGINE WHAT HIS FAMILY'S THROUGH RIGHT NOW. MORGAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. COMING UP ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING MATTHEW PERRY WITH KETAMINE LEADING TO HIS OVERDOSE DEATH IS IN COURT TODAY. WE WILL HAVE THE LATEST FROM LOS ANGELES.

BUT FOR THOSE OF US EXPERIENCING IT FROM THE INSIDE ,THE BRAT PACK WAS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. THE CRITICS AIDED THE BRAT PACK. WHAT A DISASTER. WHY? WE TAKE IT AS AN OFFENSE. AS A MOM, I CAN SAY WE WERE RIGHT. WELL, WE DIDN'T SELL SHEA STADIUM 1985. I THINK WE COULD HAVE HAD ABC NEWS LIVE HONORED WITH EIGHT EMMY NOMINATIONS MORE THAN ANY OTHER STREAMING NEWS NETWORK.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON HULU AND DISNEY PLUS. >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC'S LIVE. NEW DEVELOPMENTS TODAY IN THE INVESTIGATION OF MATTHEW DEATH. ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING THE ACTOR WITH THE KETAMINE THAT LED TO HIS OVERDOSE IS IN COURT TODAY. MARK CHAVEZ. CHAVEZ REACHED A PLEA AGREEMENT WITH PROSECUTORS EARLIER MONTH AND HE MAY OFFICIALLY ENTER THAT GUILTY PLEA LATER TODAY. ABC'S ALEX STONE JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. AND ALEX, WHAT WE EXPECT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN COURT TODAY. >> WELL, HEY, EVA, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HE'S GOING TO BE ENTERING THAT PLEA TODAY. KNOW THAT HE IS ENTERING A GUILTY PLEA. HE HAS COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH PROSECUTOR CRUZ TO HELP THEM OUT. HE ALLEGEDLY WAS NOT THE ONE SUPPLYING THE KETAMINE DIRECTLY TO MATTHEW PERRY, BUT DOCTOR CHAVEZ WAS ALLEGEDLY ONE SUPPLYING IT TO DR. PLACENTIA, WHO THEN WAS SELLING IT TO MATTHEW PERRY'S ASSISTANT ,GIVING IT DIRECTLY, ALLEGEDLY, TO THEN MATTHEW PERRY. BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE IS AN AGREEMENT TO PLEAD GUILTY. THIS WILL BE HIS FIRST COURT APPEARANCE TODAY IN THIS CASE. IT MAY BE VERY IT MAY JUST BE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO SAY, JUDGE, I'M HERE. HERE ARE THE COUNTS AGAINST HIM. THEN SET A DATE FOR A GUILTY PLEA, THE ROAD. BUT THAT IS A DEAL THAT HE'S MADE TO HELP OUT AND TO YOU KNOW WHAT? I WILL ADMIT TO THESE COUNTS TO SUPPLYING THE DRUGS TO DR. PLACENTIA TO MAKE THAT SYSTEM WORK SO THEY COULD EVENTUALLY GET TO MATTHEW PERRY IN RETURN, GETTING LIKELY A LESSER SENTENCE OUT OF IT. >> YOU'RE ABOUT THAT PLEA DEAL AND THE POSSIBLE LESSER SENTENCE. WHAT ARE THEY HOPING TO GET OUT OF HIM IN THAT DEAL? >> WELL, REALLY, THE FOCUS OF THIS INVESTIGATION IS ON TWO PEOPLE, IT IS ON THE WOMAN KNOWN AS THE KETAMINE QUEEN JASMINE, HUH? AND ON DR. PLACENTIA. THEY ARE THE TWO WHO ARE NOT YET PLEADING GUILTY. EVERYBODY ELSE IS PLEADING GUILTY IN THIS CASE. AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT THE PROSECUTORS ARE REALLY FOCUSED IN ON, THE ONES WHO ALLEGEDLY WERE SUPPLYING THE KETAMINE. AND IN THE CASE OF SHANGHAI, THE DEADLY DOSE OF KETAMINE THAT THEY WANT TO GO AFTER. AND DR. PLACENTIA IS SEEN HERE COULD BE LOOKING AT 120 YEARS IN PRISON. IF HE'S CONVICTED, SHE COULD BE LOOKING AT DECADES IN BARS, BEHIND BARS AS WELL. >> BUT FOR CHAVEZ OF SAN DIEGO, PHYSICIANS STILL AS HIS MEDICAL CANNOT WRITE PRESCRIPTIONS. THE DEA HAS TAKEN THAT AWAY FROM HIM, BUT STILL HAS HIS CALIFORNIA MEDICAL LICENSE AT MOST TEN YEARS IN PRISON, LIKELY AS PART OF A PLEA DEAL, A LOT LESS. BUT -- BUT UP TO A DECADE IN PRISON, UP TO A DECADE IN PRISON. >> AND I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS CASE OTHER THAN JUST THE THREE THAT YOU'VE MENTIONED SO FAR. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT WITH PEOPLE AS WELL? >> YOU YEAH, ALL OF THEM EITHER ARE PLEADING GUILTY AT THIS POINT, EXCEPT FOR THE TWO DR. PLACENTIA AND SANGHAVI, WHO'S CALLED THE ACADEMY AND QUEEN OF LOS ANGELES. THE OTHERS ARE ALL HELPING MATTHEW PERRY'S ASSISTANT, WHO HE IS THE ONE IN A LOT OF THESE DOCUMENTS. AND THERE ARE MANY OF THEM. AND THESE INDICTMENTS AND PLEA DEALS WERE REALLY IT WAS ALLEGEDLY ASSISTANT REACHING OUT TO THE DOCTORS AND SAYING, HUH, SAYING WE NEED MORE KETAMINE THAN THE CLIENT. HE CALLED HIMSELF, BATMAN'S ASSISTANT, BATMAN'S BUTLER, IS HE CALLED THEM BATMAN WAS THE NAME THAT MATTHEW PERRY WENT BY AND THAT HE WAS REACHING OUT TO THEM SAYING HE NEEDS MORE AND THEY NEED MORE OF THAT RIGHT NOW. WELL, HE IS NOW, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, WORKING WITH THEM AS WELL. HE HAS WORKED WITH THE LAPD, WITH THE DEA, SAYING HERE'S HOW IT ALL WENT DOWN. AND AGAIN, THEY'RE REALLY GOING AFTER DR. PLACENTIA SAYING, HUH, TO SAY THEY WERE THE SUPPLIERS OF THESE DRUGS, ALLEGEDLY AND THEY ARE THE ONES LOOKING AT THE MOST TIME IN PRISON. >> ALEX STONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING THERE. TURNING NOW POTENTIALLY AS OUR REPORTING, AT LEAST 18 WEST NILE VIRUS DEATHS, INCLUDING TWO IN WISCONSIN AND ONE IN ILLINOIS, AS MORE CASES OF THE MOSQUITO-BORNE ILLNESS ARE POPPING UP ACROSS THE U.S. RIGHT NOW, AT LEAST 33 STATES ARE REPORTING WEST NILE ACTIVITY WITH THE CDC DATA SHOWING THE MOST CASES CURRENTLY IN TEXAS ANYWHERE, FROM 1 TO 200 DEATHS FROM WEST NILE ARE TYPICALLY REPORTED GLOBALLY EACH YEAR. BUT NOW MANY REGIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE TAKING MAJOR PRECAUTIONS. IN MISSOURI, AN 18-YEAR-OLD BOY IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE ON A VENTILATOR AFTER CONTRACTING THE VIRUS. HIS PARENTS SAY STARTED WITH HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS AND SPIRALED INTO VOMITING AND A HIGH FEVER. LET'S BRING IN DR. PETER HOTEZ ,CO-DIRECTOR OF THE TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CENTER FOR VACCINE DEVELOPMENT AND DEAN OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AT BAYLOR OF MEDICINE. DOCTOR, I GUESS LET'S START WITH ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PREVENT MOSQUITO AND ULTIMATELY JUST KIND OF REDUCE OUR RISK OF GETTING THE WEST NILE VIRUS IN THE FIRST PLACE. >> YEAH, AND IT IS ACCELERATING AND THIS IS THE PEAK TIME OF YEAR. SO ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE TRENDS. THIS VIRUS IS TRANSMITTED BY THE CULEX MOSQUITO, WHICH IS MOST ACTIVE IN THE IN THE PREDAWN EARLY MORNING HOURS AND THEN IN THE EVENING. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN WHERE I AM IN TEXAS, WHERE WE HAVE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF WEST NILE VIRUS, I TRY TO GET MY 10,000 STEPS IN AND I DO WALKING IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING. AND WHAT I DO IS I HAVE FULL HOODED SWEATSHIRT ON AND SWEATPANTS AND THEN SOCKS AND SNEAKERS AND A HAT AND THEN ON THE EXPOSED AREAS, I PUT ON INSECT REPELLENT CONTAINING DEET AND BOTH THE DORSAL AND PALMER SURFACE OF MY AND AROUND MY NECK. >> AND YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES MY NEIGHBORS LOOK AT ME, YOU KNOW, WEARING SHORTS AND T SHIRTS AND BUT I USE IT AS A TEACHABLE MOMENT TO EXPLAIN, LOOK, THE REASON YOU HAVE TO DO IT NOW, BECAUSE THIS IS WHEN WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF WEST NILE CASES AND I AM HEARING ABOUT INDIVIDUALS GOING INTO INTENSIVE CARE UNITS WITH WEST NILE VIRUS ENCEPHALITIS, AS YOU DESCRIBED. SO I YOU KNOW, IT'S -- IT'S NOT FUN TO WALK AROUND LIKE THAT AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN IT'S SO HOT. >> BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO DO THAT. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT OTHER THING YOU JUST MENTIONED THERE, THE EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS ,TRIPOLI, ANOTHER RARE BUT POTENTIALLY LETHAL MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS. WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN RISK AND THE SYMPTOMS BETWEEN THESE TWO? >> WELL, THE DIFFERENCE IS WEST NILE, YOU KNOW, WE TYPICALLY WILL GET HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF CASES EVERY YEAR. ONE OF OUR WORST YEARS WAS IN 2012 IN TEXAS AND IN EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS IS ANOTHER VERY SERIOUS VIRUS INFECTION WITH A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF CASES RESULTING IN ENCEPHALITIS. >> THE GOOD IS IT'S A MUCH MORE IT'S A MUCH RARER DISEASE. WE ONLY TYPICALLY WILL ONLY SEE, YOU KNOW, A HANDFUL OF CASES A YEAR. BUT ARE SEEING SEVERAL SERIOUS CASES IN MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE AND NEW ENGLAND. I BELIEVE IN NEW JERSEY, IT MAY BE ONE IN WISCONSIN. AND WE SEEN CASES IN FLORIDA. SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THAT ALSO STARTS OCCURRING THIS TIME OF YEAR. BUT -- BUT MUCH LESS. >> BUT AGAIN, THIS IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF MOSQUITO MEASURES THAT YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT WE WOULD USE FOR WEST NILE. >> DR. PETER HOTEZ, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING TIME FOR US. THANK YOU. >> WELL, COMING UP, WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT, A DEADLY SHOOTOUT INVOLVING POLICE OFFICERS IN DALLAS. STAY US. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN. AN OPERATION, HER LICENSE FROM AN OPERATION CENTER. WE'RE APPROACHING THE GATE NOW.

WHAT A DISASTER. >> WHY DID WE TAKE IT AS AN OFFENSIVE ADDRESS? LIKE I SAY, WERE THE BEATLES. >> WELL, WE DIDN'T SELL SHEA STADIUM 19 85. I WE COULD HAVE. BUT WHY SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE?

THEIR TOP PRIORITIES, IF THEY WIN IN NOVEMBER, DAY ONE, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT ONE IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN FOR WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY.

AND DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO START SEEING HARRIS TALK MORE TO THE PRESS? >> WELL, WE'VE SEEN THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN CERTAINLY THAT MORE INTERVIEWS ARE IN HER FUTURE, INCLUDING ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE INTERVIEW IN WHICH TIM WALZ WAS ALSO IN THE ROOM IN TERMS OF HEADLINES THAT STOOD OUT. THERE'S A FEW, BUT ONE THAT GOT THE MOST HEADLINES WAS HARRIS SAYING THAT SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO INCLUDE A REPUBLICAN IN HER CABINET AND THAT HER VISION FOR HER CABINET SHOULD SHE BE ELECTED INCLUDES A REPUBLICAN. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXACTLY IN MIND. BUT THE MOST CONTENTIOUS PART OF INTERVIEW WAS ROUGHLY AROUND. WELL, THERE WERE TWO. ONE WAS WHEN HARRIS WAS ASKED TO ADDRESS THOSE PERSONAL ATTACKS DONALD TRUMP HAS LEVELED AT HER QUESTIONING HER RACE. SHE JUST SOMEWHAT SAID NEXT QUESTION AND SAID IT WAS SAME OLD, SAME OLD THAT OF TRUMP. AND THEN THERE WAS THIS EXCHANGE ABOUT HARRIS AND FLIP FLOPPING. REPUBLICANS HAVE CRITICIZED HARRIS FOR FLIP FLOPPING ON VARIOUS THINGS FROM THE LAST TIME SHE RAN FOR PRESIDENT TO THIS CAMPAIGN. ONE OF THEM IS FRACKING. SHE SAID SHE WAS AGAINST FRACKING AND NOW SHE HAS NOT SAID THAT. >> OBVIOUSLY, PENNSYLVANIA IS A STATE THAT'S VERY MUCH IN PLAY AND IT'S A MUST STATE FOR BOTH CAMPAIGNS. HARRIS RESPONDED TO THAT IN A WAY THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO QUELL THOSE ATTACKS FROM REPUBLICANS. SHE SAID THAT VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED, BUT SHE DIDN'T NECESSARILY ADDRESS WHY SOME FOUR POLICY POSITIONS HAD. >> ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. YESTERDAY, HE SAID HE'D MAKE I'VE F TREATMENTS FREE IF HE'S REELECTED. BEHIND THIS NEW PROMISE. ONE WORD FOR IT, EVER DESPERATION. I MEAN, DONALD TRUMP RIGHT NOW, HE LOOKING AT THE POLLS, HE'S LOOKING AT THE ENTHUSIASM SURROUNDING HARRIS AND HER CAMPAIGN. AND CLEARLY, YOU KNOW, HE'S A LITTLE GREEN, A LITTLE ENVIOUS . HE'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING TO BLUNT MOMENTUM. AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS HIM SORT OF FLIP FLOPPING ON ABORTION. AND JUST YESTERDAY WITH THIS SORT OF NBC INTERVIEW, IVF, ONE OF THE SORT OF PIECES OF NEWS HE MADE THERE, BUT HE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT HE WAS OPPOSED TO FLORIDA'S SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN, WHICH IS GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT THIS FALL. HIS CAMPAIGN LATER SORT OF WALKED THAT BACK WHEN THE PRO-LIFE COMMUNITY WAS UP IN ARMS OVER HIS COMMENT. HE ALSO MENTIONED, YOU JUST SAID THIS IVF PROPOSAL THAT AMERICANS ARE GOING TO GET FREE IVF IF THEY'RE HAVING FERTILITY STRUGGLES OR THAT WERE GOING TO MANDATE INSURANCE COMPANIES COVER THAT. >> THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU HEAR REPUBLICANS TALKING ABOUT EVER, EVER. AND JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ,IN FACT, DEMOCRATS SAID PUT A BILL ON THE SENATE FLOOR THAT WOULD HAVE MANDATED INSURANCE COMPANIES COVER IVF. GUESS WHAT? ALL BUT THREE REPUBLICANS ENDED UP VOTING AGAINST IT. SO HE SORT OF PULLING OUT THESE IDEAS, TRYING TO WIN OVER VOTERS. BUT THE TRUTH IS, WHEN IT COMES TO ABORTION, THE NARRATIVE IS SORT OF ALREADY BAKED. PEOPLE SEE HIM, THE PERSON WHO OVERTURNED ROE AND ACTUALLY BRAGGED ABOUT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. SO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS NEW ABC NEWS IPSOS POLL ON ELECTION LEGITIMACY. BREAK DOWN WHAT THE NUMBERS US HERE. >> YEAH, 68% OF POLLED SAID THEY BELIEVE KAMALA HARRIS IS PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS. >> ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT, YOU SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS ON YOUR SCREEN. 67% SUPPORT THE SAME NUMBER SO THAT THEY DON'T BELIEVE DONALD TRUMP IS PREPARED TO DO THE SAME THING, TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF A LEGITIMATE AND OBVIOUSLY THAT IS CONCERNING GIVEN THE EVENTS OF THE LAST ELECTION IN 2020. THE OTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS PARTY BREAKDOWN HERE. SO THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT OF MORE OF A SILVER LINING. >> 89% OF DEMOCRATS SAID THEY PERSONALLY ARE PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. ONLY ABOUT 11% OF DEMOCRATS SAID THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OR ARE NOT NECESSARILY PREPARED TO. >> AND FOR REPUBLICANS, IT WAS ALSO A HIGH NUMBER. >> 78% OF REPUBLICANS SAID THEY WERE PERSONALLY PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. BUT THERE WAS A HIGHER NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS THAN DEMOCRATS WHO SAID THEY WERE NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME. 19% OF REPUBLICANS SAID THAT THEY'RE NOT RIGHT NOW TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. >> INTERESTING NUMBERS TO. LOOK AT JAY O'BRIEN AND RACHEL BAY. THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING WITH US. AND SEPTEMBER VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS. AGAIN, THAT IS SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH IT RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> WELL, IT'S TIME TO BUCKLE UP FOR THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH AND IF YOU'RE HEADED TO THE AIRPORT TODAY, LEAVE, IT'S EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAY OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. TSA OFFICIALS PREPARING A SCREENING AT LEAST 2.8 MILLION PASSENGERS TODAY ALONE WITH CHICAGO, DFW, ATLANTA EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORT HUBS. AIRPORT IN THOSE CITIES WARNING THAT STORMY WEATHER COULD BE A WILD. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE SKIES. THE ROADS WILL BE PACKED WITH TRAFFIC TO TRIPLE WARNING. MILLIONS MORE AMERICANS WILL TAKE A ROAD TRIP HOLIDAY WEEKEND. >> OUR BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS IS TRACKING IT ALL. SHE JOINS US NOW. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS, WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW AS WE HEAD INTO THIS RECORD BREAKING TRAVEL WEEKEND? IT'S BEEN A RECORD BREAKING TRAVEL SUMMER, RIGHT? WE'VE HAD TO PACK OUR PATIENTS BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN CANCELLATIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN DELAYS. SO FAR, SO GOOD. LOOK, LABOR DAY IS NOT JULY 4TH. IT'S NOT THANKSGIVING WEEKEND. >> SO TRAVEL WILL BE BIG, BUT NOT AS BIG AS THOSE WEEKENDS. LOTS OF FOLKS ARE KIDS ARE BACK AT SCHOOL. RIGHT. BUT AS YOU SAID IT, IT'S WORTH SAYING SOME OF THESE NUMBERS, 17 MILLION PLUS EXPECTED TO FLY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THAT'S EIGHT AND A HALF PERCENT FROM LAST YEAR. MOST OF THESE TRIPS ARE DOMESTIC, BY THE WAY. 2.8 MILLION EXPECTED TO FLY TODAY ALONE. A BIG REASON WHY AIRFARES ARE ACTUALLY DOWN, ACCORDING TO HOPPER. ARE DOWN 5% VERSUS LAST LABOR DAY AND ACTUALLY DOWN 17% VERSUS 2019. >> THAT'S PRE-PANDEMIC. OH WOW. THOSE ARE GOOD NUMBERS. LET'S TALK ABOUT GAS PRICES. HOW IS THAT GOING TO FACTOR INTO ALL OF THIS? YOU KNOW, NOT AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT THINK, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY HELPFUL. I DON'T THINK IT'S A MAKE OR BREAK DECISION FOR FOLKS WHO WERE GOING TO TAKE THE ROAD ANYWAY. BUT THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS IF YOU ARE TAKING TO THE ROAD FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND, IT'S GOING TO COST YOU LESS TO TO FILL UP YOUR TANK. GAS NOW AT 335 A GALLON. THAT'S ABOUT $0.50 BELOW WHERE IT WAS LAST YEAR. SO THAT'S SOME GOOD FOR DRIVERS. AND AGAIN, RECORD NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPECTED TO TAKE TO THE ROAD THIS AS LONG WEEKEND. >> I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE JUST TRAVELING MORE IN GENERAL. THEY ARE. WHAT DOES THAT TELL US? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ALSO TALK A LOT ABOUT HOW INFLATION AND EVERYTHING COSTS MORE. RIGHT. IS THERE A CONFIDENCE THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO SPEND THEIR MONEY? I THINK IT'S PEOPLE ARE PICKING AND CHOOSING. THEY'RE SPENDING THEIR MONEY AND IT'S STILL ON EXPERIENCES VERSUS THINGS. SO WE MAY HAVE LESS MONEY. I THINK A LOT OF US ARE GETTING USED TO, UNFORTUNATELY, STICKY INFLATION, HIGHER PRICES. BUT WE'RE STILL BELIEVING THAT THERE'S VALUE IN TRAVEL THERE'S VALUE IN SPENDING TIME WITH THE FAMILY. AND I THINK THOSE CHEAPER AIRFARES AND THE LOWER GAS ARE HELPING PEOPLE MAKE THAT DECISION TO GOING TO SEE ALL THOSE PEOPLE THERE THIS WEEKEND. >> OH, ME INCLUDED. I'M HITTING THE ROAD IN A LITTLE WHILE. SAME LIKE. GOOD LUCK TO US. YES. PRAY FOR US. THANK YOU. AND THAT EXTREME WEATHER IS THREATENING TO DISRUPT TRAVEL FOR MILLIONS AMERICANS THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SEVERE STORMS SLAMMED THE MIDWEST, BRINGING STRONG WINDS, HAIL AND EVEN TORNADOES. AT LEAST FOUR REPORTED TWISTERS TOUCHED DOWN IN WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA. BALL SIZED HAIL ALSO SLAMMED PARTS OF VIRGINIA YESTERDAY. SO HEAVY THAT IT ACTUALLY COVERED THE GROUND THERE. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING THE FORECAST FOR US. MELISSA. HOW IS OUR LABOR WEEKEND LOOKING? >> WELL, EVEN IT'S LOOKING GOOD IN A LOT OF SPOTS. BUT WE GOT TO GET THROUGH THESE STORMS FOR US IF YOU'RE TRAVELING TODAY OR TOMORROW. NOW THE GOOD ABOUT THE STORMS, IT'S GOING TO BREAK THIS HEAT FINALLY. BUT WE HAVE ONE MORE DAY TO DEAL WITH THIS FEELING LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS ACROSS. THE BOARD FROM OHIO ALL THE WAY TO THE DEEP SOUTH. WE STILL HAVE A HEAT ADVISORY, ST. LOUIS TO CHARLESTON, WHERE IT FEELS LIKE OVER 99 DEGREES THERE. BUT THE STORMS THAT WE HAVE TWO POCKETS I'M WATCHING FOR POTENTIAL TRAVEL DUE TO THESE STORMS. DETROIT HERE, IF YOU'RE FLYING OUT OF DETROIT AIRPORT OR TRAVELING THERE, THIS IS THE AREA WE COULD SEE SEVERE WEATHER, DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL, ISOLATED TORNADOES, NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. AND THAT THREAT STRETCHES BACK TO SAINT LUIS. NOW, HERE ON THE EAST COAST, ANOTHER AREA, ROANOKE, CHARLOTTE, TO RALEIGH, IF YOU'RE GOING UP 95 ACROSS I-40 LATER THIS EVENING, WATCH FOR STORMS THERE AS WELL. THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL THEN PUSH THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW. SO STARTING OFF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR PLANS IN THE NORTHEAST HARRISBURG, SCRANTON, P.A., JUST WEST OF NEW YORK CITY, BUT DOES INCLUDE PHILLY, BALTIMORE AND D.C. LATER TOMORROW. THAT'S WHERE WE COULD SEE THOSE DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL, FLASH FLOODING,ND THEN WE'LL FINALLY SEE IT ALL WRAP UP. WE DO HAVE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS, THOUGH, IN EFFECT NEW ORLEANS. SO IF YOU'RE IN THE DEEP SOUTH TODAY, WATCH OUT FOR THAT HEAVY RAIN AS WELL. >> EMMA, GOOD INFORMATION FOR ALL OF US AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. WHAT'S AGGRESSIVE? THANK SO MUCH. WELL, NOW TO A TRAGEDY FROM THE WORLD OF SPORTS. JOHNNY GAUDREAU, ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN HOCKEY PLAYERS OF ALL TIME, IS DEAD AFTER GETTING HIT BY AN ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY LAST NIGHT. MORGAN NORWOOD JOINS ME NOW HERE IN STUDIO. AND MORGAN, WHAT ARE WE LEARNING ABOUT ALL OF THIS? WELL, EVEN AS YOU MENTIONED, IT'S JUST A HORRIFIC THAT'S REALLY SENDING SHOCKWAVES THROUGHOUT THE HOCKEY COMMUNITY FROM FANS HIS FORMER ALMA MATER, IN FACT, BOSTON COLLEGE. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED THEY HELD A SHORT PRESS CONFERENCE JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. AND YOU CAN REALLY SINCE THE GRIEF. SO THIS IS REALLY HITTING HOME FOR SO MANY. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR. EVA, THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS FORWARD, JOHNNY GAUDREAU KILLED AS HE WAS BIKING WITH HIS YOUNGER BROTHER MATTHEW IN THEIR HOME TOWN OF COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. HERE'S WHAT'S SO HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS EVA THE BROTHERS ACTUALLY IN TOWN FOR THEIR SISTER'S WEDDING, AND THEY WERE BOTH GROOMSMEN. NOW, POLICE SAY A DRIVER THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SHAWN HIGGINS PLOWED JEEP INTO THE TWO WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR AND THEN TOOK OFF THE SCENE. NOW, AUTHORITIES DO BELIEVE THAT DRIVER WAS DRUNK AND UNDER THE INFLUENCE, EVEN ALLEGEDLY TELLING COPS AT THE SCENE THAT HE HAD 5 TO 6 BEERS. HIGGINS NOW IS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF DEATH BY AUTO. BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS JUST UNFATHOMABLE. HE WAS A CELEBRATED FORWARD. AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE TEAM, THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS, RELEASING THIS STATEMENT, YOU SEE IT THERE, SAYING IN PART, JOHNNY PLAYED THE GAME WITH JOY, WHICH WAS FELT BY EVERYONE THAT SAW HIM THE ICE. AND AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE'RE HEARING FROM BOSTON COLLEGE, WHERE HE WAS A STANDOUT PLAYER. HE LED THE EAGLES TO A NATIONAL TITLE, THEN WENT ON TO RECEIVE AN AWARD FOR THE NATION'S BEST COLLEGIATE PLAYER B.S., SAYING THAT GAUDREAU WAS NOT ONLY THE GREATEST PLAYER, ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS, BUT ALSO ONE OF THE NICEST WOULD EVER. >> AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. AGAIN, VERY MUCH STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT SO STUNNING TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW HIM. YEAH, AND JUST IMAGINE WHAT HIS FAMILY'S GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. MORGAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. COMING UP, ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING MATTHEW PERRY WITH KETAMINE LEADING TO HIS OVERDOSE DEATH IS IN COURT TODAY. WE WILL HAVE THE LATEST FROM. LOS ANGELES.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS TODAY IN THE INVESTIGATION OF MATTHEW PERRY'S DEATH. ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING THE ACTOR WITH THE KETAMINE THAT LED TO HIS OVERDOSE IS IN COURT TODAY. MARK CHAVEZ. CHAVEZ REACHED A PLEA AGREEMENT WITH PROSECUTORS EARLIER THIS MONTH AND HE MAY OFFICIALLY ENTER THAT GUILTY PLEA LATER TODAY. ABC'S ALEX STONE JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE AND ALEX, WHAT DO WE EXPECT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN COURT TODAY? WELL, HEY THERE, EVA. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HE'S GOING TO BE ENTERING THAT PLEA. WE KNOW THAT HE IS ENTERING A GUILTY PLEA. HE HAS COME TO AN AGREEMENT, PROSECUTORS, TO HELP THEM OUT. HE ALLEGEDLY WAS NOT THE ONE SUPPLYING THE KETAMINE DIRECTLY TO MATTHEW, BUT INSTEAD, DOCTOR CHAVEZ WAS SELLING IT TOW PERRY'S ASSISTANT AND GIVING IT DIRECTLY, ALLEGEDLY, TO THEN MATTHEW PERRY. BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE IS AN AGREEMENT TO PLEAD GUILTY. THIS WILL BE HIS FIRST COURT APPEARANCE TODAY IN THIS CASE. IT MAY BE VERY QUICK. IT MAY JUST BE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO SAY, JUDGE, HERE. HERE ARE THE COUNTS AGAINST HIM. THEN SET A DATE FOR A GUILTY DOWN THE ROAD. BUT THAT IS A DEAL THAT HE'S MADE TO HELP OUT AND TO SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I WILL ADMIT TO THESE COUNTS TO SUPPLYING THE DRUGS TO DR. PLACENTIA TO MAKE THAT SYSTEM WORK SO THEY COULD EVENTUALLY GET TO MATTHEW PERRY IN RETURN ,GETTING LIKELY A LESSER SENTENCE OUT OF IT. >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT PLEA DEAL AND THE POSSIBLE LESSER SENTENCE. WHAT ARE THEY HOPING TO GET OUT OF HIM IN THAT DEAL? >> WELL, REALLY, THE FOCUS OF THIS INVESTIGATION IS ON TWO PEOPLE AND IT'S ON THE WOMAN KNOWN AS THE KETAMINE QUEEN JASMINE SAYING, HUH, AND ON DR. PLACENTIA, THEY ARE THE TWO WHO ARE NOT YET PLEADING GUILTY. EVERYBODY ELSE IS PLEADING GUILTY IN THIS CASE. AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT THE PROSECUTORS ARE REALLY FOCUSED IN ON, THE ONES WHO ALLEGEDLY WERE SUPPLYING THE KETAMINE. AND IN THE CASE OF SHANGHAI, THE DEADLY DOSE OF KETAMINE THAT THEY WANT TO GO AFTER. AND DR. PLACENTIA IS SEEN HERE, COULD BE LOOKING AT 120 YEARS IN PRISON. IF HE'S CONVICTED, SHE COULD BE LOOKING AT DECADES IN BARS, BEHIND BARS AS WELL. BUT FOR DR. CHAVEZ OF SAN DIEGO, PHYSICIANS STILL HAS HIS MEDICAL LICENSE, CANNOT WRITE PRESCRIPTIONS. THE DEA HAS TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM, BUT STILL HAS HIS CALIFORNIA MEDICAL LICENSE AT MOST TEN YEARS IN PRISON, LIKELY AS PART OF A PLEA DEAL. A LOT LESS. BUT -- BUT UP TO A DECADE IN PRISON. >> UP TO A DECADE IN PRISON. AND I KNOW THERE OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS CASE, OTHER THAN JUST THE THREE THAT YOU'VE MENTIONED SO FAR. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT WITH THOSE PEOPLE AS WELL? YEAH, ALL OF THEM EITHER ARE PLEADING GUILTY AT THIS POINT, EXCEPT FOR THE TWO. DR. PLACENTIA AND SANG THE WHO'S CALLED THE KETAMINE QUEEN OF LOS ANGELES. THE OTHERS ARE ALL HELPING, INCLUDING MATTHEW PERRY'S ASSISTANT, WHO HE IS THE ONE IN A LOT OF THESE DOCUMENTS. AND THERE ARE OF THEM AND THESE INDICTMENTS AND PLEA DEALS WERE IT WAS ALLEGEDLY THE ASSISTANT REACHING OUT TO THE DOCTORS AND SAYING, HUH, SAYING WE NEED MORE KETAMINE, THAT THE CLIENT HE CALLED HIMSELF BATMAN'S ASSISTANT BUTLER IS WHAT HE CALLED HIM. BATMAN WAS THE NAME THAT MATTHEW PERRY WENT BY AND THAT HE WAS REACHING OUT TO THEM, SAYING HE NEEDS MORE AND THEY NEED OF IT RIGHT NOW. WELL, HE IS NOW, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, WITH THEM AS WELL. HE HAS WORKED WITH THE LAPD, WITH THE DEA, SAYING HERE'S HOW IT ALL WENT DOWN. AND AGAIN, THEY'RE REALLY AFTER DR. PLACENTIA AND SAYING, HUH, TO SAY THEY WERE THE SUPPLIERS OF THESE DRUGS, ALLEGEDLY. AND THEY ARE THE ONES LOOKING AT THE MOST TIME IN PRISON. >> ALEX STONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING THERE. TURNING NOW, HOW BRITISH ISLES ARE REPORTING AT LEAST 18 IN WEST NILE VIRUS DEATHS, INCLUDING TWO IN WISCONSIN AND ONE IN ILLINOIS. AS MORE CASES OF THE MOSQUITO ILLNESS ARE POPPING UP ACROSS THE U.S. RIGHT NOW. AT LEAST 33 STATES ARE REPORTING WEST NILE ACTIVITY WITH THE CDC DATA SHOWING THE MOST CASES CURRENTLY IN TEXAS ANYWHERE, FROM 1 TO 200 DEATHS FROM WEST NILE ARE TYPICALLY REPORTED GLOBALLY EACH YEAR. BUT NOW MANY REGIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE TAKING MAJOR. IN MISSOURI, AN 18-YEAR-OLD BOY IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE ON A VENTILATOR AFTER CONTRACTING THE VIRUS. HIS PARENTS SAY IT STARTED WITH HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS, THEN SPIRALED INTO VOMITING, DISORIENTATION AND A HIGH FEVER. LET'S BRING IN DR. PETER HOTEZ ,CO-DIRECTOR OF THE TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CENTER FOR VACCINE AND DEAN OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AT BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE. DOCTOR, I GUESS LET'S START WITH WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TO PREVENT MOSQUITO BITES AND ULTIMATELY JUST KIND OF REDUCE OUR RISK OF GETTING THE WEST NILE VIRUS IN THE FIRST PLACE? YEAH, AND IT IS ACCELERATING AND THIS IS THE PEAK TIME OF YEAR. >> SO ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE TRENDS. THIS VIRUS IS TRANSMITTED BY THE CULEX MOSQUITO, WHICH IS OFTEN MOST ACTIVE IN THE IN THE PREDAWN EARLY MORNING HOURS AND THEN IN THE EVENING. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN WHERE I AM IN TEXAS, WHERE WE HAVE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF WEST VIRUS CASES, AND I TRY TO GET MY 10,000 STEPS IN AND I DO WALKING EARLY IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING. >> AND WHAT I DO IS I HAVE A FULL HOODED SWEATSHIRT ON AND SWEAT AND THEN SOCKS AND SNEAKERS AND A HAT AND THEN ON THE EXPOSED, I PUT ON INSECT REPELLENT CONTAINING DEET AND BOTH THE DORSAL AND PALMER SURFACE MY HANDS AND AROUND MY NECK. >> AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES MY NEIGHBORS LOOK AT ME, YOU KNOW, WEARING SHORTS AND T SHIRTS AND BUT I USE IT AS TEACHABLE MOMENT TO EXPLAIN, LOOK, THE REASON YOU HAVE TO DO IT NOW IS BECAUSE THIS IS WHEN WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF WEST NILE CASES. AND I AM HEARING ABOUT INDIVIDUALS GOING INTO INTENSIVE CARE UNITS WITH WEST NILE ENCEPHALITIS, AS YOU DESCRIBED. >> SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S -- IT'S NOT FUN TO WALK AROUND LIKE THAT AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN IT'S SO HOT. >> BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO DO THAT. NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT OTHER THING YOU JUST MENTIONED THERE, THE EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS, TRIPOLI, ANOTHER RARE BUT POTENTIALLY LETHAL MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS. DO WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN RISK AND THE SYMPTOMS, THESE TWO? >> WELL, THE DIFFERENCE IS WEST NILE, YOU KNOW, WE TYPICALLY WILL GET HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF CASES EVERY YEAR. ONE OF OUR WORST YEARS WAS IN 2012, IN TEXAS AND IN EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS IS ANOTHER VERY SERIOUS VIRUS INFECTION WITH A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF CASES RESULTING IN ENCEPHALITIS. THE GOOD NEWS IS IT'S A MUCH MORE IT'S A MUCH RARER DISEASE. WE TYPICALLY WILL ONLY SEE, YOU KNOW, A HANDFUL OF CASES A YEAR. BUT WE ARE SEEING SEVERAL SERIOUS CASES IN MASSACHUSETTS SINCE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND NEW ENGLAND, I BELIEVE IN NEW JERSEY, MAYBE ONE IN WISCONSIN. AND WE HAVE SEEN CASES IN FLORIDA. >> SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THAT ALSO STARTS OCCURRING THIS TIME OF YEAR, BUT -- BUT MUCH LESS COMMON. >> BUT AGAIN, THIS IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF MOSQUITO PREVENTION MEASURES THAT YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT WE WOULD USE FOR WEST NILE. >> DR. PETER HOTEZ, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING TIME FOR US. THANK YOU. WELL, COMING UP, WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT A DEADLY SHOOTOUT INVOLVING POLICE OFFICERS IN DALLAS. STAY WITH US.

YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . HI, EVERYONE. I'M EVA PILGRIM. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR OF VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS FINALLY SITTING DOWN FOR HER FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. HARRIS AND HER RUNNING MATE, TIM WALL, SPEAKING TO CNN ABOUT THEIR TOP PRIORITIES IF THEY WIN IN NOVEMBER, DAY ONE, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT ONE IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN FOR WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. I'VE ALREADY LAID OUT A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS IN THAT REGARD, WHICH INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESSES, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN FAMILIES. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS RALLYING IN TODAY AS HE CONTINUES TO CAMPAIGN IN THE RUST BELT STATES WEEK. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS AND CONTRIBUTING POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT BAY JOIN ME NOW. MARYALICE, LET'S START WITH YOU. HARRIS WAS QUESTIONED LAST NIGHT ON WHY SHE SHIFTED HER VIEWS ON IMMIGRATION AND FRACKING. WHAT STOOD OUT TO YOU FROM HER EXPLANATIONS? YEAH, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS TODAY. RACHEL AND I AGREE THAT IT LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS REALLY MAKING A PLAY FOR THE CENTER FOR MODERATES. I MEAN, SHE WAS MODERATING HER OPINION ON BOTH IMMIGRATION AND FRACKING. I TALKED TO SOME PROGRESSIVES IN THE PARTY THAT TOLD THAT THEY WERE GUTTED AFTER LISTENING TO THAT INTERVIEW. THEY WERE REALLY HOPING THAT SHE WAS GOING TO PUT SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN HERSELF AND PRESIDENT BIDEN. YOU ON FRACKING? REALLY INTERESTING. THAT SEEMS LIKE A CLEAR PLAY FOR PENNSYLVANIA, OF COURSE, ISSUE FRONT AND CENTER THERE IN THAT CRUCIAL SWING STATE THAT SHE SHOWED VERY LITTLE WILLINGNESS TO SORT OF HAVE ANY NUANCE THAT SUBJECT. SHE SAID SHE WAS NOT FOR A BAN ON FRACKING, BUT SHE DID. SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS AND THAT SHE BELIEVES THE COUNTRY SAID SHE'LL BE SHOULD STILL BE SETTING REALLY AGGRESSIVE WHEN IT COMES TO BRINGING DOWN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. ON IMMIGRATION, INTERESTING, SHE PITCHED HERSELF AS THE LAW AND ORDER CANDIDATE, SAID THAT SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THIS RACE WHO HAD ACTUALLY WORKED ON GOING AFTER PEOPLE THAT WERE TRAFFICKING GUNS AND PEOPLE ACROSS THE ACROSS THE BORDER, THAT SHE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS AN ATTORNEY GENERAL FROM A STATE. SHE WENT AFTER TRUMP FOR THINKING THAT BIPARTISAN IMMIGRATION BILL THAT THAT WE SAW THE SENATE NEGOTIATE. SHE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT WHAT TRUMP DID IN OFFICE. REMEMBER, WERE A LOT OF DEMOCRATS WERE REALLY FRUSTRATED BY HOW HOW SORT OF SEVERE HIS POLICIES WERE ON THE BORDER. SHE DID NOT BRING THAT UP AGAIN AND SAID PITCHED HERSELF AS THE CENTRIST CANDIDATE EVER. >> RACHEL, FORMER PRESIDENT ALSO APPARENTLY SHIFTING HIS VIEWS ON REPRODUCTIVE CARE. WHAT IS HE SAYING NOW? AND I'M CURIOUS HOW THIS IS SITTING WITH CONSERVATIVES. YEAH, EVEN I CAN TELL YOU THAT A LOT OF PRO-LIFE IF REPUBLICANS HAVE SORT OF ALWAYS LOOKED AT TRUMP FOR WHAT HE IS WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR CAUSE, HE'S SOMEBODY WHO HAS SORT OF FLIP FLOPPED WHEN IT COMES TO THE ABORTION MATTERS OVER. THE YEARS HE USED TO BE SOMEBODY WHO CALLED HIMSELF PRO-CHOICE. THEN HE CALLED HIMSELF. BUT WHAT THEY HAVE ALWAYS SORT OF COUNTED ON DONALD TRUMP FOR IS THIS CONSISTENCY AND THAT WHEN HE'S IN OFFICE, HE'S GOING TO DELIVER FOR THEM, EVEN IF HIS HEART AND SOUL IS NOT IN THE SAME POSITION THAT THAT THEIRS IS. AND WHEN IT COMES TO WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO ABORTION ACCESS, THEY KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO APPOINT CONSERVATIVES TO THE SUPREME COURT THAT WERE GOING TO POTENTIALLY TRY TO OVERTURN ROE, THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO WHAT HE CAN TO TO PROTECT WHAT THEY CALL SORT OF LIFE MATTERS. NOW, THAT IS ALL UP IN ARMS RIGHT NOW, I SHOULD SAY. NOW THEY'RE QUESTIONING THAT RIGHT NOW AND THEY ARE UP IN ARMS IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE YESTERDAY, HE GAVE THIS INTERVIEW WITH NBC WHERE HE WENT FURTHER THAN SUGGESTING THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO SUPPORT NATIONWIDE ABORTION BAN. HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO IVF AND THAT IT SHOULD BE TAXPAYER FUNDED OR THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO COVER THAT SORT OF COVER, THAT SORT FERTILITY BENEFIT. NOW, THAT IS SOMETHING A LOT OF FOLKS, THE SO-CALLED PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT, THEY'RE NOT SURE THAT THEY THEY LIKE THAT. IN FACT, A LOT OF THEM DO NOT LIKE THAT THEY SEE IVF TREATMENT AS SOMETHING CONTRIBUTES TO, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY GOES BEYOND ABORTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO FREEZING EMBRYOS OR DISCARDING THEM. SO THEY'RE REALLY NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IN DONALD TRUMP. AND RIGHT NOW, THEY'VE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THE CAMPAIGN TO TRY TO GET AT WHAT GET HIM TO WALK BACK. BUT THE REALITY IS HERE, EVA, THAT HE SEES LOSING AND HE'S TRYING TO CHANGE HIS POSITION. >> MARYALICE, WE HAVE A NEW ABC NEWS IPSOS POLL ON ELECTION LEGITIMACY. THESE NUMBERS DOWN FOR US. YEAH, EVEN SO INTERESTING. WE SEE A GAP BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS HERE. 92% OF HARRIS VOTERS IN OUR NEW POLL SAY THEY ARE PREPARED ACCEPT THE ELECTION RESULTS. BUT ISN'T THIS INTERESTING? 21% OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS SAY RIGHT NOW THEY ARE NOT PREPARED TO THE ELECTION RESULTS. WHEN WE LOOK BACK TO WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020 AND HOW VOTERS PERCEIVE THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE TRUMP'S, YOU KNOW, BIG LIE WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT SORT OF HIS IS HIS CONTINUED ELECTION DENIALISM HAS REALLY RESONATED. 34% OF AMERICANS SAY THAT THEY THINK JOE BIDEN DID NOT LEGITIMATELY WIN THE 2020 ELECTION. OF COURSE, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT POINT OUT THAT BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF INVESTIGATIONS, COURT CASES AND AUDITS THAT WERE CONDUCTED AFTER THE 2020 ELECTION, LARGELY BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S CLAIMS, EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY THE MOST SAFE, MOST SECURE AND MOST WELL-DOCUMENTED ELECTION THAT WE MAYBE HAVE EVER HAD. YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING BACK TO THAT REPUBLICAN LED AUDIT, ARIZONA ALMOST A YEAR LATER, THAT SHOW THAT ACTUALLY JOE BIDEN WON EVEN MORE VOTES THAN THEY ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. SO REALLY UNBELIEVABLE THAT SOME OF THE MESSAGING AROUND THE ELECTION HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESONATE WITH VOTERS EVEN WHEN THE FACTS HAVEN'T SHOWN THAT. YOU KNOW, I ASKED PARKS, RACHEL BAY, THANK YOU BOTH BEING WITH US. AND SEPTEMBER 10TH, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS, MID-SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH IT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. WHILE IT IS TIME TO BUCKLE UP FOR THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH AND IF YOU ARE HEADED TO THE AIRPORT, LEAVE EARLY. IT'S EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAY OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. TSA OFFICIALS PREPARING TO SCREEN AT LEAST 2.8 MILLION PASSENGERS TODAY ALONE WITH CHICAGO, DFW AND ATLANTA EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORT HUBS. AIRPORT OFFICIALS IN THOSE CITIES WARNING THAT STORMY WEATHER BE A WILDCARD. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE SKIES. THE ROADS WILL BE WITH TRAFFIC AS WELL. TRIPOLI WARNING MILLIONS MORE AMERICANS WILL TAKE A ROAD TRIP THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY IS TRACKING ALL OF THIS FOR US AND HE JOINS ME NOW. SAM LET'S START WITH THE SKIES. HOW IS THE TSA PREPARING TO HANDLE THIS SURGE IN PASSENGERS THAT WE'RE EXPECTING? WELL, TSA, THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE BUSIEST LABOR DAY TRAVEL PERIOD EVER. AS YOU SAID, 2.8 MILLION PEOPLE OR EVEN MORE COULD PASS THROUGH SECURITY CHECKPOINTS TODAY ALONE. AND LINES AT THE BUSIEST AIRPORTS COULD BE A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN YOU MAY EXPECT. AND IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY BUSY WEEKEND. MONDAY WILL ALSO SEE A RUSH. IF YOU ARE BY ROAD, MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE EARLY IN THE BUSIEST LABOR DAY WEEKEND ON RECORD. WE'VE SEEN SOME PROBLEMS BEFORE THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEATHER. WHAT ABOUT OPERATIONS? HOW ARE THEY DEALING WITH THE OPERATIONS, THE STAFFING? ARE SEEING ANY DELAYS BECAUSE OF THAT? >> RIGHT NOW, THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD ACROSS . THE COUNTRY. THERE WERE JUST ROUGHLY 200 CANCELLATIONS. NOW, THINK THIS, THERE'S MORE THAN 40,000 DEPARTURES TODAY. SO THAT IS THAN 1% OF ALL FLIGHTS. AS WEATHER MOVES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THOUGH, WE COULD SEE THAT NUMBER TICK UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BUT YES, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FLIGHTS DELAYED. WE SHOULD SEE GROUND DELAY AND GROUND STOPS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY OVER THE WEEKEND AS THIS WEATHER MOVES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT REMEMBER, A GROUND STOP DOES NOT MEAN AN AIRPORT IS CLOSED. IT JUST THEY ARE HOLDING SOME FLIGHTS BACK AT THEIR ORIGINATING AIRPORTS. THEY CAN LEAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPACE AS THEY GO THROUGH THESE FLOW TO KEEP THINGS MOVING. THINK OF IT AS A GAME OF TETRIS. THEY'VE GOT TO MOVE THESE PIECES AROUND AND GET THEM TO FIT PERFECTLY, BOTH IN THE SKY AND ON THE GROUND AT THESE AIRPORTS. >> A VERY COMPLICATED TETRIS TO REMEMBER THAT AS WELL. RIGHT. WE ALSO HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE ROADS HERE. MILLIONS ARE PREPARING TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO HIT THE ROAD IF YOU'RE GOING TO HEAD OUT, IF YOU HAVEN'T LEFT ALREADY TODAY, YOU PROBABLY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER 7 P.M. ONCE THE RUSH HOUR IS GONE. IT'S ALSO TO BE A BUSY MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY EVENING. >> YOU'RE PLANNING ON TRAVELING ON MONDAY. YOU PROBABLY WANT TO LEAVE EARLY IN THE MORNING. SAM SWEENEY. SOME GOOD ADVICE FOR PEOPLE THERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. EXTREME WEATHER THREATENING TO DISRUPT TRAVEL FOR OF AMERICANS THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SEVERE STORMS SLAMMED THE MIDWEST OVERNIGHT, BRINGING STORM STRONG WINDS, HAIL AND EVEN TORNADOES. AT LEAST FOUR REPORTED TWISTERS TOUCHED DOWN IN WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA TENNIS BALL SIZED HAIL ALSO SLAMMED PARTS OF VIRGINIA YESTERDAY. YOU CAN SEE THERE COVERING THE GROUND. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING THE FORECAST FOR US. MELISSA, HOW'S IT ALL SHAPING UP? WELL, EVEN WE HAVE A COUPLE OF TRAVEL SPOTS THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING. REALLY VERY ISOLATED. SO THAT IS SOME GOOD NEWS. BUT DETROIT AREA, THAT'S THE MAIN SPOT IN THE BULL'S FOR THE THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS THROUGH TONIGHT. >> DAMAGING WINDS, FLASH FLOODING, FEW TORNADOES CAN'T BE RULED OUT IN PARTS OF THE GREAT LAKES, STRETCHING BACK TO SAINT LUIS. >> ANOTHER AREA OF ISOLATED STORMS, TOO, HERE IN THE EAST COAST, RALEIGH, UP THROUGH ROANOKE, VIRGINIA. AND ALL OF THIS WILL MOVE INTO THE NORTHEAST AS WE HEAD INTO LATE TONIGHT, THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW. >> SO THIS AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW, THIS IS WHERE WE DO HAVE THAT THREAT FOR ORGANIZED STORMS THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SATURDAY FROM ALBANY, NEW YORK, TO SCRANTON, PAY BACK THROUGH PARTS OF NEW JERSEY, INCLUDING PHILADELPHIA ,D.C. SO UP AND DOWN THE I-95 CORRIDOR, IF YOU'RE STILL TRAVELING TO GET YOUR HOLIDAY PLANS TOMORROW, WATCH OUT FOR THOSE STORMS. ONE MORE SPOT TODAY TO WATCH FOR IS THE FLOOD WATCH HERE IN NEW ORLEANS. LOTS OF HEAVY MOVING ACROSS THE REGION AND ACROSS THE GULF COAST. AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S THE TREND THAT I THINK IS GOING TO STICK AROUND RIGHT THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. LABOR DAY. UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS THE GULF COAST, BUT EVEN LOOK AT ALL THESE SUNSHINE, LOTS OF GREAT WEATHER FROM COAST TO COAST, CALIFORNIA TO THE PLAINS. DRIER AND COOLER HERE IN THE EAST. SO GOT TO END WITH SOME GOOD NEWS. IT LOOKS GREAT OUT THERE ON LABOR DAY FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY. WE'LL TAKE THE GOOD NEWS. MELISSA GRIFFIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. NOW TO A TRAGEDY IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS. JOHNNY GAUDREAU OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN HOCKEY PLAYERS OF ALL TIME IS DEAD AFTER GETTING HIT BY AN ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY LAST NIGHT. MORGAN NORWOOD JOINS ME NOW HERE IN THE STUDIO IN MORGAN. WHAT ARE WE LEARNING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE? I MEAN, YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD HERE. I MEAN, IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC AND HORRIFIC. AND EVEN WE'VE GOT MORE REACTION POURING IN FROM THE SPORTS WORLD, FROM HIS FORMER TEAMS TO FANS. I MEAN, THEY'RE ALL WEIGHING IN ON JUST HOW THICK THE GRIEF IS. HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW AT THIS HOUR. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS FORWARD. JOHNNY GAUDREAU KILLED AS HE WAS BIKING WITH HIS YOUNGER BROTHER, MATTHEW, IN THEIR HOMETOWN OF SALEM COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. THIS WAS LAST NIGHT. BUT I THINK WHAT'S HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE TWO BROTHERS WERE IN TOWN FOR THEIR SISTER'S WEDDING. THEY WERE BOTH GROOMSMEN AS WELL. THAT WEDDING SET FOR TODAY, ACTUALLY. POLICE SAY THE DRIVER, IDENTIFIED AS SHAWN HIGGINS, PLOWED HIS JEEP INTO THE TWO WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER SUV. AND HE TOOK OFF FROM THE SCENE. BUT AUTHORITIES DID LATER CATCH UP TO THEM AND THEY BELIEVE THE DRIVER WAS AND UNDER THE INFLUENCE, ALLEGEDLY EVEN TELLING COPS THAT HE HAD 5 TO 6 BEERS. WE KNOW THAT HIGGINS IS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF DEATH BY AUTO. HE'S ALSO FACING ADDITIONAL CHARGES. BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, EITHER I MEAN, THIS IS JUST HEARTBREAKING. HE WAS A FORWARD CONSIDERED A LEGEND FROM EVEN HIS COLLEGE THIS MORNING. THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS ARE RELEASING THIS STATEMENT HERE SAYING IN PART, JOHNNY PLAYED THE GAME WITH GREAT JOY, WHICH WAS FELT BY EVERYONE THAT SAW HIM ON THE ICE. WE'RE ALSO HEARING FROM HIS ALMA MATER BOSTON COLLEGE WHERE HE WAS A STANDOUT PLAYER. I MEAN, HE WON SEVERAL, LED THEM TO THE NATIONAL TITLE, CONSIDERED THE NATION'S BEST PLAYER. HIS BROTHER ALSO PLAYED AT B.C. AND THEY HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE A SHORT TIME AGO IN REACTION TO THAT TRAGEDY. HERE'S WHAT THEIR HAD TO SAY. >> THEY WERE HAPPY TOGETHER, LIKE TRULY HAPPY TO BE HERE. BIG SMILES ALL THE TIME, THE THINGS THEY COULD DO ON THE ICE. NOW, THAT'S PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THEM, REMEMBER, BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL MAGICAL. I ALWAYS EVERYONE JUST, WELL, HAVING THEM ON THE TEAM, THEIR TREMENDOUS TEAMMATES YOUR HOW CHOKED UP THEY WERE JUST EXPLAINING OTHERS TWO BROTHERS MEANT TO THEM. I THINK WHAT'S SO HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS AS WELL IS THAT YOU KNOW THE SISTER WHO HAS A WEDDING TODAY SUPPOSED TO BE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF HER LIFE IS NOW MARRED BY THIS TRAGEDY HERE, IVA. YOU ASKED US TO BE A WEEKEND OF JOY, AND IT'S DEFINITELY NOT THAT RIGHT NOW. MORGAN THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, ISRAELI FORCES SAY THEY KILLED A LOCAL COMMANDER IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK TODAY.

DONALD TRUMP. WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN. AND THIS HISTORIC. THE ABC NEWS 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. THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. ISRAELI FORCES SAY THEY KILLED A LOCAL HAMAS COMMANDER IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK TODAY. HAMAS CONFIRMED THE KILLING IN A SEPARATE STATEMENT. IT'S PART OF A MAJOR OPERATION IN THE WEST BANK THAT ISRAEL SAYS IS TO ELIMINATE THREATS FROM HAMAS AND OTHER MILITANT GROUPS, THE REGION. BUT THE UN IS WARNING AGAINST ESCALATION, THE WAR SAYING THE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION IS DIRE WITH. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS IN FOUR REFUGEE CAMPS ALREADY IMPACTED BY THE OPERATION, WHICH IS NOW IN ITS THIRD DAY. ABC FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT JOINS ME NOW FROM JERUSALEM. AND BRET GIVE US THE LATEST ON THE SITUATION THERE WITH THE ISRAELI OPERATION IN THE WEST BANK. WELL, WHAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS HAS BEEN QUITE ASTONISHING, ALTHOUGH THE OPERATION IS NOW IN ITS THIRD DAY. ON THE FIRST DAY WE WITNESSED A STRONG MILITARY PRESENCE IN A VILLAGE CALLED REMA. WE SAW LOCALS THROWING ROCKS, IDF JEEPS. WE SAW SOLDIERS WALK DOWN THE ROADS, POINTING THEIR GUNS AT STORE FRONTS. AND WE SPOKE TO A RESIDENT WHO SAID THAT THE OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN GOING SINCE FORHIM. THAT'S THAT MORNING. AND THERE WAS STILL ON AND WE WERE SPEAKING TO HIM AROUND 8 P.M., 7:38 P.M. THAT NIGHT. AND HE SAID, OF COURSE THEY'RE HERE. SO THERE IS A LOT OF HOSTILITY. AND THEN YESTERDAY WE WERE AT A FIVE HOUR CAMP, WHICH IS BASICALLY ONE OF THE CAMPS THAT ENDURED A 30 HOUR RAID. NOW, LET'S REMEMBER, THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST IDF RAID OPERATION WE'VE SEEN SINCE 2002. THE PLACE WAS DESTROYED IN MANY PARTS. YOU KNOW, YOU'D WALK ALONG THE MAIN ROAD AND IT WAS JUST GOT IT OUT BY BULLDOZERS. WE SAW POCKMARKS FROM BULLETS ALL ALONG THE SIDES. A MEDIC TOLD ME THAT HE TREATED DOZENS OF WOUNDS, BUT MANY GUN WOUNDS. HE SAID THAT HE ACTUALLY COULDN'T GET PEOPLE TO THE HOSPILS BECAUSE THE WHOLE CAMP HAD BEEN SEALED OFF BY IDF FORCES. ISRAELI FORCES HAVE KILLED AT LEAST 12 PEOPLE IN THE WEST BANK SO FAR. AND THE UN SAYS THAT ISRAEL IS, QUOTE, FUELING AN ALREADY EXPLOSIVE SITUATION THERE. HOW DOES THIS OPERATION AFFECT THE LARGER WAR AND THE PROSPECTS OF A CEASE FIRE DEAL ? YEAH, I THINK ONE INTERESTING THING THAT WE'VE LEARNED, ESPECIALLY SPEAKING THIRD FRONT. WE HAVE GAZA. WE KNOW THAT TENSIONS ARE HIGH WITH HEZBOLLAH ON THE NORTHERN BORDER. AND THE FEAR IS, IS THAT THE WAR IN COULD SPREAD TO THE WEST BANK. AND I THINK FOR PALESTINIANS, PARALLELS ARE NOT LOST ON THEM. AS FOR CEASEFIRE TALKS, WELL, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO HELP DISCUSSIONS. BUT, YOU KNOW, SPEAKING, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THOSE ARE MAKING MUCH HEADWAY ANYWAY . YOU KNOW, DISCUSSIONS ARE UNDERWAY. WE KNOW THAT MEDIATORS ARE THEIR BEST TO KEEP THOSE TALKS ALIVE. BUT WE DO KNOW IS THAT HAMAS DOES NOT ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT THERE WILL BE ANY MILITARY PRESENCE IN GAZA. AND THAT IS OF THEIR RED LINES THAT ISRAEL IS INSISTING ON. A MASSIVE POLIO VACCINATION CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT TO BEGIN THIS SUNDAY FOR CHILDREN IN GAZA. WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT? SO THIS IS GOOD NEWS. 650,000 CHILDREN NEED THIS VACCINE. IT WILL BE ROLLED OUT IN THREE STAGES. IT IS A LIMITED PAUSE, I MUST STRESS. AND IT'S ONLY IN DESIGNATED AREAS, BUT IT IS WELCOME NEWS FOR THOSE PEOPLE. FOR THOSE PEOPLE IN THOSE EXTREMELY DENSE AREAS WHO ARE LIVING IN FILTHY CONDITIONS AND FEAR THE SPREAD OF DISEASE. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING AID GROUPS HAVE BEEN REALLY BEGGING FOR FOR WEEKS AND THEY FEAR THAT POLIO IS JUST THE START, THAT WITH THESE CONDITIONS, PEOPLE BEING SQUEEZED INTO SMALL HUMANITARIAN AREAS, THAT MORE DISEASES WILL SPREAD. >> ABC'S BRITT CLENNETT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US BRAD. FOR MORE ON THIS LET'S BRING IN ASIA THE RAW HE'S THE INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS COLUMNIST FOR "THE WASHINGTON POST" AND HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THESE DEVELOPMENTS CLOSELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. LET'S START WITH YOU KNOW, THIS OPERATION IS ISRAEL'S INCURSION INTO THE WEST BANK IN YEARS. WE HEARD BRIT TALKING ABOUT THAT. WHAT IS ISRAEL'S ENDGAME THERE EITHER? YOU KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT BEFORE THE EVENTS OF OCTOBER 7TH, WHEN WHEN HAMAS CARRIED OUT ITS HIDEOUS TERROR ATTACK ON SOUTHERN ISRAEL, THE REAL THEATER OF OPERATIONS AND OF CONCERN AMONG POLICY MAKERS, ACTIVISTS, NGOS AND SO FORTH WAS THE WEST BANK. YOU'D SEEN A GROWING OF MILITANCY IN JENIN IN PARTICULAR, AND OTHER PARTS OF THE TERRITORY. YOU'D SEEN A SETTLER MOVEMENT, AN ISRAELI SETTLER MOVEMENT IN THE WEST BANK, EMBOLDENED BY THE COUNTRY'S BORROWED TO CARRY OUT ALL SORTS OF ATTACKS AND PROVOCATIONS ON PALESTINIANS LIVING IN THEIR MIDST. >> AND SO THERE IS A SENSE WELL BEFORE OCTOBER SEVEN THAT THINGS WERE GETTING WORSE. THEY'RE REACHING A BOILING POINT. THERE IS A FEAR OF GROWING MILITANCY IN JUNE. AND, YOU KNOW, THESE OTHER AREAS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, SINCE OCTOBER 7TH, THERE'S BEEN A MASSIVE UPTICK IN VIOLENCE AND ISRAELI STRIKES. HUNDREDS OF PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE WEST BANK SINCE OCTOBER SEVEN, ALTHOUGH, OF COURSE, OUR FOCUS HAS PRINCIPALLY BEEN THE ASTONISHING DEVASTATION OF GAZA DURING THIS TIME. >> AND THIS MOVE, WHICH IS, OF COURSE, THE BIGGEST SET OF OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF GAZA, ISRAEL, ISRAEL'S CARRIED OUT SINCE OCTOBER 7TH IS A REFLECTION OF IMMEDIATE ISRAELI SECURITY CONCERNS ABOUT CERTAIN MILITANT CELLS OPERATING IN THE WEST BANK, BUT ALSO A REFLECTION OF A DESIRE AMONG THE ISRAELI LEADERSHIP TO REALLY PUT THE FOOT DOWN ON PALESTINIANS. AND THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT. >> THE ISRAELI DELEGATION LEFT QATAR TODAY WITH NO PROGRESS BEING MADE ON CEASE FIRE TALKS. DO YOU SEE ANY CAUSE FOR OPTIMISM GOING FORWARD THERE AT THIS POINT? >> I'M AFRAID I DON'T THINK SO . CONSENSUS AND THIS IS WHAT YOU HEAR FROM U.S. OFFICIALS, ARAB OFFICIALS, EVEN SOME ISRAELI INTERLOCUTORS, IS THIS CURRENT GOVERNMENT, LED BY PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU, IS NOT PARTICULARLY IN IN A CEASEFIRE ALONG THE TERMS CERTAINLY THAT HAMAS WOULD WANT IT WANTS TO MAINTAIN AN ELEMENT OF DE FACTO OR MILITARY CONTROL OVER PARTS OF GAZA. IT WANTS TO PRESERVE THE TO RESUME HOSTILITIES IN THE MEDIUM TERM. AND THAT FOR HAMAS IS A NONSTARTER. AND SO WE'RE SEEING THIS CONTINUING EVISCERATION OF THE OF GAZA AS A TERRITORY AND CONTINUING ISRAELI STRIKES AND CONTINUING VIOLENCE. >> WE HEARD BRITT MENTION THIS CONCERN ABOUT THE WAR ON THREE FRONTS RIGHT NOW, ISRAEL'S FIGHTING ON THREE FRONTS IN GAZA, SOUTHERN LEBANON AND THE WEST BANK. IS THIS SUSTAINABLE FOR ISRAEL? DO YOU SEE THIS ESCALATING INTO SOME SORT OF WIDER REGIONAL WAR? I MEAN, THAT'S THE THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION. AND, YOU KNOW, U.S. OFFICIALS WHO YOU TALKED TO ARE DESPERATE THAT THIS DOES NOT EXPLODE INTO CONFLICT. THEY'VE SPENT A LOT OF THEIR ENERGIES IN RECENT MONTHS TRYING TO ENSURE THAT ISRAEL'S ACTIONS, AS MUCH AS THE U.S. SUPPORTS THEM, DON'T TRIGGER A SPIRAL OF ESCALATION. AND I THINK IN THE MOST RECENT FLARE WITH IRAN, WE SAW THAT FEARS ESCALATION THERE HAVE NOT COME TO PASS. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT WITHIN ISRAEL THERE IS A EMBOLDENED FAR RIGHT MOVEMENT THAT IS UP IN ARMS AND IS OCTOBER 7TH. AND THAT REALLY, REALLY WANTS TO SEE MUCH TOUGHER ACTION ON THE PERCEIVED ENEMIES IN ISRAEL'S MIDST. >> THEY SHOT THE REAR OF THE WASHINGTON. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANALYSIS. GOOD TO BE WITH YOU. COMING UP, THE RUSSIAN BOMB ATTACK ON UKRAINE'S SECOND LARGEST CITY. STAY WITH US. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN.

BUT A NEW ABC NEWS IPSOS POLL SAYS ABOUT BOTH CANDIDATES AND WHETHER THEY'RE PREPARED TO ACCEPT OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION. TRAGIC ACCIDENT.

VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS SITTING DOWN FOR HER FIRST MEDIA INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. HARRIS AND HER RUNNING MATE, TIM WALL SPEAKING TO CNN ABOUT THEIR TOP PRIORITIES IF THEY WIN IN NOVEMBER. >> DAY ONE, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT ONE IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN FOR WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. I'VE ALREADY LAID OUT A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS IN THAT REGARD, WHICH INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN AMERICA, SMALL BUSINESSES, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN FAMILIES. ON THE GOP SIDE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TODAY WITH A RALLY IN ANOTHER KEY SWING STATE THIS IT'S PENNSYLVANIA. OUR JAY O'BRIEN JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH CONTRIBUTING POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT RACHAEL BAY. JAY, LET'S START WITH YOU. I'M CURIOUS WHAT STOOD OUT TO YOU FROM THAT INTERVIEW LAST NIGHT AND DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO START SEEING HARRIS TALK MORE TO PRESS? WELL, WE'VE SEEN THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN CERTAINLY INDICATE THAT MORE ARE IN HER FUTURE, INCLUDING ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE INTERVIEW IN WHICH TIM WALZ WAS ALSO IN THE ROOM IN TERMS OF HEADLINES THAT OUT. THERE'S A FEW. BUT THE ONE THAT GOT THE MOST HEADLINES WAS HARRIS SAYING THAT SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO INCLUDE A REPUBLICAN IN HER CABINET AND HER VISION FOR HER CABINET SHOULD SHE BE ELECTED INCLUDES REPUBLICAN. >> SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE EXACTLY IN MIND, BUT MOST CONTENTIOUS PART OF THE INTERVIEW WAS ROUGHLY AROUND. WELL, THERE WERE TWO. ONE WAS WHEN HARRIS WAS ASKED TO ADDRESS THOSE PERSONAL ATTACKS DONALD TRUMP HAS LEVELED AT HER QUESTIONING HER RACE. >> SHE JUST SOMEWHAT SAID NEXT QUESTION AND SAID IT WAS SAME OLD, SAME OLD OF TRUMP. AND THEN THERE WAS THIS EXCHANGE ABOUT HARRIS AND ALLEGED FLIP FLOPPING. REPUBLICANS HAVE CRITICIZED HARRIS FOR FLIP FLOPPING ON VARIOUS THINGS FROM THE LAST TIME SHE RAN FOR PRESIDENT TO THIS CAMPAIGN. ONE OF THEM IS FRACKING. SHE SAID SHE WAS AGAINST FRACKING AND NOW SHE HAS NOT SAID. OBVIOUSLY, PENNSYLVANIA IS A STATE THAT'S VERY MUCH IN PLAY AND IT'S A MUST WIN STATE FOR BOTH CAMPAIGNS. >> HARRIS RESPONDED TO THAT IN A WAY THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO QUELL THOSE ATTACKS FROM REPUBLICANS. SHE SAID THAT HER VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED, BUT SHE DIDN'T NECESSARILY ADDRESS SOME FOUR POLICY POSITIONS HAD. >> ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. YESTERDAY, HE SAID HE'D MAKE IVF TREATMENTS FREE IF HE'S REELECTED. WHAT'S THIS NEW PROMISE? ONE WORD FOR IT EVER. DESPERATION. I MEAN, DONALD TRUMP RIGHT NOW, HE IS LOOKING AT THE POLLS. HE'S AT THE ENTHUSIASM SURROUNDING HARRIS AND HER CAMPAIGN. AND CLEARLY, YOU KNOW, HE'S A LITTLE GREEN, A LITTLE ENVIOUS. HE'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING ANYTHING TO BLUNT HER MOMENTUM. AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN HIM SORT OF FLIP FLOPPING ON ABORTION. AND JUST YESTERDAY, THIS SORT OF NBC INTERVIEW, IVF WAS ONE OF THE SORT OF PIECES OF NEWS HE MADE THERE. BUT HE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT HE WAS OPPOSED TO FLORIDA'S SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN, WHICH IS GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT FALL. HIS CAMPAIGN LATER SORT OF WALKED THAT BACK WHEN THE PRO-LIFE COMMUNITY WAS UP IN ARMS OVER HIS COMMENT. HE ALSO MENTIONED, AS YOU JUST SAID, THIS IVF PROPOSAL THAT AMERICANS ARE GOING TO GET FREE IVF IF THEY'RE HAVING FERTILITY STRUGGLES OR THAT THEY WERE GOING MANDATE INSURANCE COMPANIES COVER THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU HEAR REPUBLICANS TALKING ABOUT EVER, EVER. >> AND JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, IN FACT, DEMOCRATS SAID PUT A BILL ON THE SENATE FLOOR THAT WOULD HAVE MANDATED INSURANCE COMPANIES COVER IVF. GUESS WHAT? ALL THREE REPUBLICANS ENDED UP VOTING AGAINST IT. SO HE SORT OF PULLING OUT THESE IDEAS, TRYING TO WIN OVER VOTERS. BUT THE TRUTH IS, WHEN IT COMES ABORTION, THE NARRATIVE IS RT OF ALREADY BAKED. PEOPLE SEE HIM AS THE PERSON WHO OVERTURNED ROE AND ACTUALLY BRAGGED ABOUT IT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. >> SO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS NEW ABC NEWS IPSOS ON ELECTION THAT LEGITIMACY. BREAK DOWN WHAT THE NUMBERS US HERE. >> YEAH 68% OF POLLED SAID THEY BELIEVE KAMALA HARRIS IS PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS. >> ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT, YOU SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS ON YOUR SCREEN. 67% SUPPORT THE SAME NUMBER SO THAT THEY DON'T BELIEVE DONALD IS PREPARED TO DO THE SAME THING, TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF A LEGITIMATE ELECTION. AND OBVIOUSLY THAT IS CONCERNING GIVEN THE EVENTS OF THE LAST ELECTION IN 2020. THE OTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THE PARTY BREAKDOWN HERE. SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF MORE OF A SILVER LINING. >> 89% OF DEMOCRATS SAID THEY PERSONALLY ARE PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. ONLY ABOUT 11% OF DEMOCRATS SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OR ARE NOT NECESSARILY PREPARED TO. >> AND FOR REPUBLICANS IT WAS ALSO A HIGH NUMBER, 78% OF REPUBLICANS SAID THEY WERE PERSONALLY PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. BUT THERE WAS A HIGHER NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS THAN DEMOCRATS WHO SAID THEY WERE NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME. 19% OF REPUBLICANS SAID THAT THEY'RE PREPARED RIGHT NOW TO ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. >> INTERESTING NUMBERS TO LOOK AT. JAY O'BRIEN AND RACHEL BAY, THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING WITH US. AND SEPTEMBER 10TH. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS. AGAIN, THAT IS SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH IT RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. WELL, IT'S TIME TO BUCKLE UP FOR THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH. AND IF YOU'RE HEADED TO THE AIRPORT TODAY, LEAVE EARLY. IT'S EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAY OF THE LABOR WEEKEND. TSA OFFICIALS PREPARING A SCREENING AT LEAST 2.8 MILLION PASSENGERS TODAY ALONE. WITH CHICAGO, DFW AND ATLANTA EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST HUBS . AIRPORT OFFICIALS IN THOSE CITIES WARNING THAT STORMY WEATHER COULD BE A WILD CARD. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE SKIES, THE ROADS WILL BE PACKED. THE TRAFFIC TO TRIPOLI WARNING MILLIONS MORE AMERICANS WILL TAKE A ROAD TRIP THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. OUR BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CRISTIAN FARIAS IS TRACKING IT ALL. SHE JOINS US NOW. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS, WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW AS WE HEAD INTO THIS RECORD BREAKING TRAVEL WEEKEND? IT'S BEEN A RECORD BREAKING TRAVEL SUMMER, RIGHT? WE'VE HAD TO PACK OUR PATIENTS BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN CANCELLATIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN DELAYS. SO FAR, SO GOOD. LOOK, LABOR DAY IS NOT JULY 4TH. IT'S NOT THANKSGIVING WEEKEND. SO TRAVEL WILL BE BIG, BUT NOT AS BIG AS THOSE WEEKENDS. LOTS FOLKS ARE KIDS ARE BACK AT SCHOOL. RIGHT. BUT AS YOU SAID IT, IT'S WORTH SAYING SOME OF THESE NUMBERS, 17 MILLION PLUS EXPECTED TO FLY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THAT'S UP EIGHT AND A HALF PERCENT FROM LAST YEAR. MOST OF THESE TRIPS ARE DOMESTIC, BY THE WAY. 2.8 MILLION EXPECTED TO FLY TODAY ALONE. A BIG WHY AIRFARES ARE ACTUALLY DOWN, ACCORDING TO HOPPER. AIRFARES ARE DOWN 5% VERSUS LAST LABOR DAY AND ACTUALLY DOWN 7% VERSUS 2019. THAT'S PRE-PANDEMIC. OH, WOW. THOSE ARE GOOD NUMBERS. LET'S TALK ABOUT GAS PRICES. HOW IS THAT GOING TO FACTOR INTO ALL OF THIS? YOU KNOW, NOT AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT THINK, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY HELPFUL. I DON'T THINK IT'S A MAKE OR BREAK DECISION FOR FOLKS WHO ARE TO TAKE TO THE ROAD ANYWAY. BUT THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS IF YOU ARE TAKING THE ROAD FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND, IT'S GOING TO COST YOU LESS, TOO, TO FILL UP YOUR TANK. GAS NOW AT 335 A GALLON. THAT'S ABOUT $0.50 BELOW WHERE IT WAS LAST YEAR. SO THAT'S SOME GOOD NEWS FOR DRIVERS. AND AGAIN, RECORD NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPECTED TO TAKE TO THE ROAD THIS THIS LONG WEEKEND. >> I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE JUST TRAVELING MORE IN GENERAL. THEY ARE. DOES THAT TELL US BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ALSO TALK A LOT ABOUT HOW INFLATION AND EVERYTHING COSTS MORE. RIGHT. IS THERE A CONFIDENCE THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO SPEND THEIR MONEY? I THINK IT'S PEOPLE ARE PICKING AND CHOOSING WHERE THEY'RE SPENDING THEIR MONEY AND IT'S STILL ON EXPERIENCES VERSUS THINGS. SO WE MAY HAVE LESS MONEY. I THINK A LOT OF US ARE GETTING USED TO. UNFORTUNATELY, STICKY INFLATION ,HIGHER PRICES, BUT WE'RE STILL BELIEVING THAT THERE'S VALUE IN TRAVEL. THERE'S VALUE IN SPENDING TIME WITH THE FAMILY. AND I THINK THOSE CHEAPER AIRFARES AND THE LOWER GAS ARE HELPING PEOPLE MAKE THAT DECISION, TOO. >> WE'RE GOING TO SEE ALL THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE THIS WEEKEND. ME INCLUDED. I'M HITTING THE ROAD IN A LITTLE WHILE. SAME. AND GOOD LUCK AS WELL. YES, GREAT FOR US. THANK YOU. AND THAT EXTREME WEATHER IS THREATENING TO DISRUPT TRAVEL FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SEVERE STORMS SLAMMED THE MIDWEST OVERNIGHT, BRINGING STRONG WINDS, HAIL AND EVEN TORNADOES. AT LEAST FOUR REPORTED TWISTERS TOUCHED DOWN IN WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA. BALL SIZED HAIL ALSO SLAMMED PARTS OF VIRGINIA YESTERDAY. SO HEAVY THAT IT ACTUALLY COVERED THE GROUND THERE. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN TRACKING THE FORECAST FOR US MELISSA. HOW IS OUR LABOR DAY WEEKEND? >> WELL, IT WAS LOOKING GOOD IN A LOT OF SPOTS, BUT WE GOT TO GET THROUGH THESE STORMS FOR US IF YOU'RE TRAVELING TODAY OR TOMORROW. NOW, THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE IT'S GOING TO BREAK THIS HEAT FINALLY. BUT WE HAVE ONE MORE DAY TO DEAL WITH THIS FEELING LIKE A TRIPLE DIGITS ACROSS BOARD FROM OHIO ALL THE WAY TO THE DEEP SOUTH. WE STILL HAVE A HEAT ADVISORY, ST. LOUIS TO CHARLESTON, WHERE IT FEELS LIKE OVER 99 DEGREES THERE. BUT THE STORMS THAT WE HAVE TO POCKETS I'M WATCHING FOR POTENTIAL TRAVEL ISSUES DUE TO THESE STORMS. DETROIT HERE, IF YOU'RE FLYING OUT OF DETROIT AIRPORT OR TRAVELING THERE, THIS IS THE AREA WE COULD SEE SEVERE WEATHER DAMAGING, WINDS, LARGE HAIL, ISOLATED TORNADOES, NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. AND THAT STRETCHES BACK TO SAINT LUIS. NOW, HERE ON THE EAST COAST, ANOTHER AREA ROANOKE, CHARLOTTE TO RALEIGH, IF YOU'RE GOING UP 95 ACROSS I-40 LATER THIS EVENING. WATCH FOR STORMS THERE AS WELL . THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL THEN PUSH INTO THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW. SO STARTING OFF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR PLANS IN THE NORTHEAST, HARRISBURG, SCRANTON P.A., JUST WEST OF NEW YORK CITY, BUT DOES INCLUDE PHILLY, BALTIMORE AND D.C. LATER TOMORROW. THAT'S WHERE WE COULD SEE THOSE DAMAGING WINDS. HAIL, FLASH FLOODING, AND THEN WE'LL FINALLY SEE IT ALL WRAP UP. WE DO HAVE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS, THOUGH, IN EFFECT FOR NEW ORLEANS. SO IF YOU'RE IN THE DEEP SOUTH TODAY, WATCH OUT FOR THAT HEAVY RAIN AS WELL. EMMA, GOOD INFORMATION FOR ALL OF US AS WE INTO THE WEEKEND. WHAT'S AGGRESSIVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WELL, NOW TO A FROM THE WORLD OF SPORTS. JOHNNY GAUDREAU, ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN HOCKEY PLAYERS OF ALL TIME, IS DEAD AFTER GETTING HIT BY AN ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY LAST NIGHT. MORGAN NORWOOD JOINS ME NOW HERE IN STUDIO. AND MORGAN, WHAT ARE WE LEARNING ALL OF THIS? >> WELL, EVEN AS YOU MENTIONED, IT'S JUST A HORRIFIC INCIDENT THAT'S REALLY SENDING THROUGHOUT THE HOCKEY COMMUNITY FROM FANS. HIS FORMER ALMA MATER, IN FACT, BOSTON COLLEGE. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED. THE HEALTH SHORT PRESS CONFERENCE JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. AND YOU CAN REALLY SENSE THE GRIEF. SO THIS IS REALLY HITTING HOME FOR SO MANY. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS FORWARD. JOHNNY GAUDREAU KILLED AS HE WAS BIKING WITH HIS YOUNGER BROTHER, MATTHEW, IN THEIR HOMETOWN OF SALEM, NEW JERSEY. HERE'S WHAT'S SO HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS. EITHER THE BROTHERS WERE ACTUALLY IN TOWN FOR THEIR SISTER'S WEDDING AND THEY WERE BOTH GROOMSMEN. NOW POLICE SAY A DRIVER HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SHAWN HIGGINS PLOWED HIS INTO THE TWO WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR AND THEN TOOK OFF FROM THE. NOW, AUTHORITIES DO BELIEVE THAT DRIVER WAS DRUNK AND UNDER THE INFLUENCE, ALLEGEDLY TELLING COPS AT THE SCENE THAT HE HAD 5 TO 6 BEERS. HIGGINS NOW IS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF DEATH BY AUTO. BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS JUST UNFATHOMABLE. HE WAS A CELEBRATED FORWARD. AND WE ALSO THAT THE TEAM, THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS, RELEASING THIS STATEMENT, YOU SEE IT THERE, SAYING IN PART, JOHNNY PLAYED THE GAME WITH JOY, WHICH WAS FELT BY EVERYONE THAT SAW HIM THE ICE. AND AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE'RE HEARING FROM BOSTON COLLEGE, WHERE HE WAS A STANDOUT PLAYER. HE LED THE EAGLES TO A NATIONAL TITLE, THEN WENT ON TO RECEIVE AN AWARD FOR THE NATION'S BEST COLLEGIATE PLAYER, B.C., SAYING THAT GAUDREAU WAS NOT ONLY THE GREATEST PLAYER, ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS, BUT ALSO ONE OF THE NICEST WOULD EVER. >> AS YOU IMAGINE. AGAIN, VERY MUCH STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT SO STUNNING TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW HIM. YEAH, AND JUST IMAGINE WHAT HIS FAMILY'S GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. MORGAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. COMING UP, ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING MATTHEW PERRY WITH KETAMINE LEADING HIS OVERDOSE DEATH IS IN COURT TODAY. WE WILL HAVE THE LATEST FROM LOS ANGELES. THE WEST NILE VIRUS DEATH TOLL IS MOUNTING AND CAUSING MANY TO BE HOSPITALIZED. WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT TO WATCH FOR WHEN WE COME BACK. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA?

SO WE HAVE A COUPLE 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 TO YOU AS THEY LOOK AT YOUR SMILE? >> YOU'RE PROUD OF IT? I LOVE IT. GREAT WORK. HI. WHERE ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU? APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. IT'S ISRAEL. >> DAVID NATHAN. YES. YES. >> I'M DAVID. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU DO? EVERY NIGHT. ABC'S WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR IS AMERICA'S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST. >> IF YOU WERE COMING OF AGE IN THE 1980S, THE BRAT PACK WAS NEAR THE CENTER OF YOUR CULTURAL AWARENESS. BUT FOR THOSE OF US EXPERIENCING FROM THE INSIDE, THE BRAT PACK WAS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. IF YOU COULD HAVE BRAT PACK MAY NOT EXIST, WOULD YOU? >> HMM. I HATED THE. WHAT A DISASTER. WHY DID WE TAKE IT AS AN OFFENSIVE ADDRESS? LIKE COULD SAY WE WERE THE BEATLES, RIGHT? >> WELL, WE DIDN'T SELL SHEA STADIUM. 1980 FIVE. >> I THINK WE COULD HAVE CUT. WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE FROM ABC NEWS? >> THIS IS START HERE. TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY'S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET'S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR R MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST. WORTH LISTENING TO START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. NOW, THAT'S A PART OF THE STORY THAT DIDN'T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE HERE . >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. NEW DEVELOPMENTS TODAY IN, THE INVESTIGATION OF MATTHEW PERRY'S DEATH. ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING THE ACTOR WITH THE KETAMINE THAT LED TO HIS OVERDOSE IS. IN COURT TODAY, MARK CHAVEZ REACHED A PLEA AGREEMENT, PROSECUTORS EARLIER THIS MONTH AND HE MAY OFFICIALLY INTER OF THAT GUILTY LATER TODAY. ABC'S ALEX STONE JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. AND ALEX, WHAT DO WE EXPECT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN COURT TODAY. >> WELL HEY THERE EVA. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HE'S GOING TO BE ENTERING PLEA TODAY. WE KNOW THAT HE IS ENTERING A GUILTY PLEA. HE HAS COME TO AGREEMENT WITH PROSECUTORS TO HELP THEM OUT. HE ALLEGEDLY WAS THE ONE SUPPLYING THE KETAMINE DIRECTLY TO MATTHEW PERRY. BUT INSTEAD, DOCTOR CHAVEZ WAS ALLEGEDLY ONE SUPPLYING IT TO DR. SALVADOR PLACENTIA, WHO THEN WAS IT TO MATTHEW PERRY'S ASSISTANT AND GIVING IT DIRECTLY ALLEGEDLY TO THEN MATTHEW PERRY. BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE IS AGREEMENT TO PLEAD GUILTY. THIS WILL BE HIS FIRST COURT APPEARANCE TODAY. THIS CASE, IT MAY BE VERY QUICK. IT MAY JUST BE A COUPLE OF MINUTES. SAY, JUDGE, I'M HERE. HERE ARE THE COUNTS AGAINST HIM. THEN SET A DATE FOR A GUILTY PLEA DOWN THE ROAD. BUT THAT IS A DEAL THAT HE'S MADE TO HELP OUT AND TO SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I WILL ADMIT TO THESE COUNTS TO SUPPLYING THE DRUGS TO DR. PLACENTIA. TO MAKE THAT SYSTEM WORK SO THEY COULD EVENTUALLY GET TO MATTHEW PERRY IN RETURN, GETTING LIKELY A LESSER SENTENCE OUT OF IT. >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT PLEA DEAL, THE POSSIBLE LESSER SENTENCE. WHAT ARE THEY HOPING TO GET OUT OF HIM IN THAT DEAL? >> WELL, REALLY, THE FOCUS OF THIS INVESTIGATION ON TWO PEOPLE, IT IS ON THE WOMAN KNOWN AS THE KETAMINE QUEEN JASMINE SAYING HA AND ON DR. PLACENTIA, THEY ARE THE TWO WHO ARE NOT YET PLEADING GUILTY. EVERYBODY ELSE IS PLEADING GUILTY IN THIS CASE. AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT THE PROSECUTORS ARE REALLY FOCUSED IN ON, THE ONES WHO ALLEGEDLY WERE SUPPLYING THE KETAMINE. AND IN THE CASE OF SHANGHAI, THE DEADLY DOSE OF KETAMINE THAT THEY WANT TO GO AFTER. AND DR. PLACENTIA HAS SEEN HERE COULD BE LOOKING AT 120 YEARS IN PRISON. IF HE'S CONVICTED, SHE COULD BE LOOKING AT DECADES IN BARS BEHIND BARS AS WELL. BUT FOR DR. CHAVEZ, SAN DIEGO PHYSICIANS STILL AS HIS MEDICAL LICENSE CANNOT PRESCRIPTIONS. THE DEA HAS TAKEN THAT AWAY FROM HIM, BUT STILL HAS IS CALIFORNIA LICENSE AT MOST TEN YEARS IN PRISON LIKELY AS PART OF A PLEA DEAL, A LOT LESS. >> BUT -- BUT UP TO A DECADE IN PRISON. UP TO A DECADE IN PRISON. AND I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS CASE, OTHER THAN JUST THE THREE THAT YOU'VE MENTIONED SO FAR. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT WITH THOSE PEOPLE AS WELL YEAH ,ALL OF THEM EITHER ARE PLEADING GUILTY AT THIS POINT FOR THE TWO DR. PLACENTIA AND SANG, WHO'S CALLED THE KETAMINE QUEEN OF LOS ANGELES? THE OTHERS ARE ALL HELPING, INCLUDING MATTHEW PERRY'S ASSISTANT, WHO HE IS THE ONE IN A LOT OF THESE DOCUMENTS. AND THERE ARE MANY OF THEM. AND THESE INDICTMENTS AND PLEA DEALS WERE REALLY IT WAS ALLEGEDLY THE ASSISTANT REACHING OUT TO THE DOCTORS AND SAYING, HUH, SAYING WE NEED MORE KETAMINE THAN THE CLIENT. HE CALLED HIMSELF BATMAN'S ASSISTANT, BATMAN'S BUTLER IS WHAT HE CALLED HIM. BATMAN WAS THE NAME THAT MATTHEW PERRY WENT BY AND THAT HE WAS REACHING OUT TO THEM, SAYING HE NEEDS MORE AND THEY NEED MORE OF RIGHT NOW. WELL, HE IS NOW, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, WORKING WITH AS WELL, HE HAS WORKED WITH THE LAPD, WITH THE DEA, SAYING IS HOW IT ALL WENT DOWN. AND AGAIN, THEY'RE REALLY GOING AFTER, DR. PLACENTIA, AND SAYING HI TO SAY THEY WERE THE SUPPLIERS OF THESE DRUGS, ALLEGEDLY. AND THEY ARE THE ONES LOOKING AT THE MOST TIME IN PRISON. >> ALEX STONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING THERE. TURNING NOW, HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE REPORTING AT LEAST 18 WEST NILE VIRUS DEATHS, INCLUDING TWO IN WISCONSIN AND ONE IN ILLINOIS, AS MORE CASES OF THE MOSQUITO ILLNESS ARE POPPING UP ACROSS THE U.S.. RIGHT NOW, AT LEAST 33 STATES ARE REPORTING WEST NILE ACTIVITY WITH CDC SHOWING THE MOST CASES CURRENTLY IN TEXAS, ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 200 DEATHS FROM WEST NILE ARE TYPICALLY REPORTED GLOBALLY EACH YEAR. BUT NOW MANY REGIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE TAKING MAJOR PRECAUTIONS. IN MISSOURI, AN 18-YEAR-OLD BOY IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE ON VENTILATOR AFTER CONTRACTING THE VIRUS. HIS PARENTS SAY IT STARTED WITH HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS, THEN SPIRALED INTO VOMITING, DISORIENTATION AND A HIGH FEVER. LET'S BRING IN DR. PETER HOTEZ ,CO-DIRECTOR OF THE TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CENTER FOR VACCINE DEVELOPMENT, DEAN OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AT BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE. DOCTOR, I GUESS LET'S START WITH WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PREVENT MOSQUITO BITES AND ULTIMATELY JUST KIND OF REDUCE OUR RISK OF GETTING THE WEST NILE VIRUS IN THE FIRST PLACE? YEAH, AND IT IS ACCELERATING AND IS THE PEAK TIME OF YEAR. SO ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE TRENDS. THIS VIRUS IS TRANSMITTED BY THE CULEX MOSQUITO, WHICH IS OFTEN MOST ACTIVE IN THE IN THE PREDAWN EARLY MORNING HOURS AND THEN IN THE EVENING. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN WHERE I AM IN TEXAS, WHERE WE HAVE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF WEST NILE VIRUS CASES, I TRY TO GET MY 10,000 STEPS IN AND I DO WALKING EARLY IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING. AND WHAT I DO IS I HAVE FULL HOODED SWEATSHIRT ON AND SWEATPANTS AND SOCKS AND SNEAKERS AND A HAT AND THEN ON THE EXPOSED AREAS, I PUT ON INSECT REPELLENT CONTAINING DEET AND BOTH THE DORSAL AND PALMER SURFACE OF MY HANDS AND AROUND MY NECK. >> AND YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES MY NEIGHBORS LOOK AT ME, YOU KNOW, WEARING SHORTS AND T SHIRTS AND BUT I USE AS A TEACHABLE MOMENT TO EXPLAIN, LOOK, THE REASON YOU HAVE TO DO IT NOW IS, BECAUSE THIS IS WHEN WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF WEST NILE CASES, AND I AM HEARING ABOUT INDIVIDUALS GOING INTO INTENSIVE CARE UNITS, WEST NILE VIRUS, ENCEPHALITIS, AS YOU DESCRIBED. SO, YOU KNOW IT'S -- IT'S NOT FUN TO WALK AROUND LIKE THAT AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. >> IT'S SO HOT. BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO DO THAT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT OTHER THING YOU JUST MENTIONED THERE, THE EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS ,TRIPLE E, ANOTHER RARE BUT POTENTIALLY LETHAL MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS. WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN RISK AND THE SYMPTOMS BETWEEN THESE TWO? >> WELL, THE DIFFERENCE IS WEST NILE KNOW WE TYPICALLY WILL GET HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF CASES EVERY YEAR. ONE OF OUR WORST YEARS WAS IN 2012, IN TEXAS AND IN EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS IS ANOTHER VERY SERIOUS VIRUS INFECTION WITH A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF CASES RESULTING IN ENCEPHALITIS. >> AND THE GOOD NEWS IS IT'S A MUCH MORE IT'S A MUCH RARER DISEASE. WE ONLY TYPICALLY WILL ONLY SEE, YOU KNOW, A HANDFUL OF CASES A YEAR BUT WE ARE SEEING SEVERAL SERIOUS CASES IN MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE AND NEW ENGLAND. I BELIEVE IN NEW JERSEY, IT MAY BE ONE IN WISCONSIN AND WE HAVE SEEN CASES IN FLORIDA. SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THAT ALSO STARTS OCCURRING THIS TIME OF YEAR. BUT -- BUT MUCH LESS COMMON. >> BUT AGAIN, THIS IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF PREVENTION MEASURES THAT YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT WE WOULD USE FOR WEST NILE. >> DR. PETER HOTEZ, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING TIME FOR US. THANK YOU. WELL, COMING UP, WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT A DEADLY SHOOTOUT INVOLVING POLICE OFFICERS IN DALLAS. STAY WITH US.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP GETTING SET FOR A RALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA. TRUMP CONTINUING A SWING THROUGH THE RUST BELT AS HE TRIES TO WIN OVER VOTERS IN THOSE KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES. ONE SUPPORTER AT THE RALLY TELLING, ABC NEWS, SHE WANTS TO HEAR HIM FOCUS ON POLICY. >> YOU KNOW, I LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM CONTRASTING HIMSELF WITH ALL TERRORISTS OUR CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT BECAUSE.

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS FINALLY DOWN FOR HER FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. JOINING ME NOW, WE HAVE TERRY MORAN TRAVELING WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN PENNSYLVANIA WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS AND CONTRIBUTING POLITICAL CORRESPOND AND RACHEL BAY. TERRY, LET'S START WITH YOU. TRUMP IS REALLY FOCUSING ON THE THREE SO-CALLED BLUE FIREWALL STATES THIS WEEK . HE WON ALL THREE IN 2016, THEN LOST ALL THREE IN 2020. WHAT'S HIS PLAN TO WIN THOSE VOTERS BACK? WELL, HE'S GOING TO COME HERE A LOT. THAT'S CRUCIAL. BUT REALLY, IT IS THOSE ISSUES VOTERS ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU TALK TO PEOPLE HERE. ECONOMY, IMMIGRATION, MOSTLY ECONOMY. OVER AND OVER AND OVER. AND POLLS CONSISTENTLY SHOW THAT TRUMP IS FAVORED ON THOSE ISSUES NOT JUST BY PEOPLE COME TO THIS RALLY, BUT BY VOTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SO HE DOES HAVE AN ADVANTAGE IF AND THIS SOMETIMES A BIG IF WITH DONALD TRUMP, HE CAN STICK TO THE SCRIPT. LOOK, THIS IS A SHOW, RIGHT? A TRUMP RALLY IS AN EVENT IN A COMMUNITY MUSIC. THERE'S MERCHANDISE AND THERE'S TRUMP THE STAR PERFORMER WHO SOMETIMES USUALLY WANDERS FROM HIS SCRIPT. PEOPLE HERE DO WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS PRACTICAL POLICY ISSUES, ESPECIALLY THE ECONOMY. IF HE DOES THAT, HE'S GOT GOOD SHOT HERE THAT MARYALICE HARRIS JUST ANNOUNCED WHAT SHE'S CALLING A REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM BUS TOUR . IT'S COMING AFTER A BIT OF A SHIFT FROM TRUMP ON THE ISSUE OF REPRODUCTIVE CARE. THIS IS CLEARLY A BIG ISSUE FOR VOTERS. SO WHAT IS THE STRATEGY HERE FOR BOTH THEM? YEAH, IT'S BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR VOTERS. ALSO CENTRAL TO THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN, CENTRAL TO DEMOCRATS RUNNING ACROSS THE COUNTRY EVER SINCE FALL OF ROE V WADE. THEY ARE PUSHING FOR A NATIONAL LAW TO RESTORE ACCESS TO ABORTION CARE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND WE'RE SEEING THE HARRIS TEAM REALLY DOUBLE DOWN WITH THIS NEW BUS TOUR, LIKE YOU SAID. INTERESTING THAT THEY'RE LAUNCHING THAT BUS TOUR, FLORIDA. THEY PITCHED IT AS SPECIFICALLY LAUNCHING IT IN TRUMP'S OWN BACKYARD. OF COURSE, THERE'S A BALLOT INITIATIVE THAT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER IN FLORIDA THAT WOULD OVERTURN THE REALLY RESTRICTIVE SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE THERE AFTER THE FALL OF ROE. THE BALLOT INITIATIVE WOULD RESTORE ABORTION ACCESS UP TO A TWO VIABILITY. IT WAS INTERESTING THAT YESTERDAY WHEN WAS ASKED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS, HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT SIX WEEKS WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME, SUGGESTING THAT HE WAS GOING TO IN FAVOR OF OVERTURNING THAT CONSERVATIVE LAW IN THE STATE. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE HE HAS A NEW CAMPAIGN PROPOSAL. HE WANTS TO PAY FOR IVF TREATMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. OF COURSE, IT WAS CONSERVATIVE IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA THAT ACTUALLY MADE IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN THAT STATE BRIEFLY TO FOR CLINICS TO GO AHEAD WITH TREATMENT. HARRIS' TEAM OUT THERE WITH SURROGATES TODAY SAYING THAT FEMALE VOTERS ARE NOT STUPID, THEY KNOW WHO PUT FERTILITY TREATMENTS, ABORTION ACCESS SORT OF ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. IT WOULD BE REALLY. OBVIOUSLY, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CENTRAL PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN AHEAD OF EVER. AND RACHEL, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT INTERVIEW. HARRISON WALL SAT DOWN LAST NIGHT WITH CNN. I'M CURIOUS, WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM THAT. YEAH, IT SEEMED LIKE HER TEAM HAD ONE INTENTION IN MIND WHEN THEY WENT INTO THAT SIT DOWN, AND THAT IS TO RUN TO THE CENTER. OBVIOUSLY, HARRIS' TEAM, THEY'RE VERY CLEAR EYED ABOUT HER, HER GREATEST VULNERABILITY, AND THAT IS THE POSITION SHE TOOK IN 2020 WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT BACK THEN. BASICALLY MOVING TO THE LEFT, SUPPORTING THINGS LIKE MEDICARE FOR ALL, GETTING RID OF PRIVATE INSURANCE, BANNING FRACKING, DECRIMINALIZING BORDER CROSSINGS FOR MIGRANTS COMING TO THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT PERMISSION, VISAS AND SUCH. BUT LOOK, SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT ALL OF THOSE POSITIONS DURING THIS INTERVIEW, AND SHE MADE CLEAR THAT SHE DOESN'T SUPPORT THEM ANYMORE. SHE SAID ON FRACKING THAT SHE HAS BEEN FROM HER PREVIOUS POSITION THAT SHE DOES NOT SUPPORT GETTING RID OF FRACKING, THAT THERE'S A WAY TO SORT OF ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE BY BASICALLY SUPPORTING CLEAN ENERGY INITIATIVES WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE CROSSING INTO THE UNITED STATES. SHE SAID THAT THINGS SHOULD HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND THAT FOLKS NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAW. SHE MADE CLEAR WHERE SHE STOOD ON THAT AND SAID SHE WOULD SIGN THE BIPARTISAN BORDER CRACKDOWN BILL THAT DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF ACTUALLY, IF SHE'S PRESIDENT, SHE WOULD SIGN THAT INTO LAW. AND LOOK, WHEN SHE WAS ASKED HOW HISTORIC IT WOULD BE TO SEE THE FIRST WOMAN AND FIRST BLACK WOMAN AS PRESIDENT, SHE SAID THAT SHE BASICALLY RAN AWAY FROM THAT QUESTION. SHE SAID, LOOK, I'M RUNNING BE A LEADER FOR ALL AMERICANS. AND THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING AS WELL TO WATCH, BECAUSE WHILE IT MIGHT SPEAK TO A CERTAIN SECTOR ,THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, A LOT OF SWING VOTERS, THEY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT HISTORIC FIRSTS. THEY WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO. WHAT IS THE CANDIDATE GOING TO DO FOR? AND SO I THINK THAT THAT WAS THEIR INTENTION IN THIS INTERVIEW. AND THEY CLEARLY IT. >> TERRY, TRUMP IS ALSO SET TO GIVE AN ADDRESS BEFORE MOMS FOR LIBERTY. THAT'S A GROUP THAT SPEARHEADED A LOT OF THOSE BOOK BANS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. TONIGHT. HOW DO YOU THINK THIS WILL BE RECEIVED? >> WELL, THAT THAT IS NOT A POPULAR POSITION AMONG MOST VOTERS BANNING BOOKS FROM SCHOOL LIBRARIES. >> WHAT A POPULAR POSITION WITH THAT GROUP, WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN TOUCHED WITH SCANDAL ,ITS LEADERSHIP. SO IT HAS SOME CONTROVERSY THERE. BUT THAT GROUP IS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IS POPULAR, WHICH IS PARENTS FRANKLY, HAVING MORE ON THE TEACHING OF SOME THOSE ISSUES, IN PARTICULAR SEXUALITY AND GENDER. AND CERTAINLY IF THEIR OWN CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED IN SOME KIND OF QUESTIONING OF THEIR GENDER, PARENTS WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT. THAT IS A WHOLE SHOW, A PRETTY MAINSTREAM POSITION TO HIT HARD ON THAT. RIGHT. THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO HIS BASE IF THIS GROUP RUNS FOR . >> TERRY MORAN, MARYALICE PARKS AND RACHEL BAY, THANK YOU SO FOR JOINING US. AND SEPTEMBER 10TH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME RIGHT HERE ON ABC. AGAIN, THAT IS SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH IT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> WELL, IT'S TIME TO BUCKLE UP FOR THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL RUSH TODAY. WE ARE EXPECTING THE BUSIEST DAY OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SPECIFIC FOR THOSE TAKING TO THE SKIES. TSA OFFICIALS PREPARING TO SCREEN AT LEAST 2.8 MILLION PASSENGERS TODAY ALONE. WITH CHICAGO, DALLAS, FORT WORTH AND ATLANTA EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST HUBS. AIRPORT OFFICIALS IN THOSE CITIES WARNING THAT STORMY COULD BE A WILD CARD. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE SKIES. ROADS WILL BE PACKED WITH TRAFFIC AS WELL. TRIPOLI WARNING MILLIONS MORE AMERICANS WILL TAKE A ROAD TRIP THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY TRACKING ALL OF IT FOR US, SAM. WE'VE GOT TO START WITH THE SKIES. HOW IS TSA PREPARING TO HANDLE ALL OF THESE PASSENGERS? WELL, TSA SAYS THEY ARE FULLY STAFFED. THEY'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 17 MILLION PEOPLE TO TRAVEL FOR THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY. THAT WILL BE THE BUSIEST LABOR DAY TRAVEL PERIOD IN THE AGENCY'S 22 YEAR HISTORY. BUT THIS HAS BEEN A BUSY SUMMER ,SEEN RECORD TRAVEL, ALMOST 3 MILLION PEOPLE TRAVELING ON THE BUSIEST DAY. SO THEY SAY THEY ARE PREPARED. AND THINGS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 200 FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE YOU CAN SEE ALL THOSE PLANES ON YOUR SCREEN THAT ARE IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE MORE THAN 40,000 DEPARTURES. >> SO THINGS ARE PRETTY SMOOTH SO FAR. I'M CURIOUS HOW THESE AIRLINES ARE MANAGING OPERATIONS. HAS THERE BEEN ANY STAFFING DELAYS THAT HAVE CAUSED ANY ISSUES AT THIS POINT? NOT ALL THINGS ARE GOOD RIGHT NOW. THE AIRLINES HAVE ADDED FLIGHTS. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THEIR FLIGHT SCHEDULES LATER INTO THE NIGHT AND STARTING EARLIER IN THE MORNING SO THEY CAN ACCOMMODATE MORE PEOPLE. >> BUT SO FAR, THEY SAY THINGS ARE GOING SMOOTHLY. AND AGAIN, VERY FEW CANCELLATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ROADS. MILLIONS ARE PREPARING TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP. SO WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO LEAVE? BEST TIME TO LEAVE IS IN THE MORNING OR LATE AT NIGHT AFTER THE RUSH HOUR COMMUTE. IT'S TO BE A LITTLE QETER ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. BUT IF YOU'RE COMING BACK ON MONDAY, WANT TO LEAVE BEFORE 10 A.M. TO BEAT THOSE AFTERNOON RUSH HOURS. GOOD TIPS THERE FOR US, SAM SWEENEY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK. EXTREME WEATHER IS THREATENING TO DISRUPT TRAVEL FOR. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SEVERE STORMS SLAMMED THE MIDWEST, BRINGING STRONG WINDS, HAIL AND EVEN TORNADOES. AT LEAST REPORTED. TWISTERS TOUCHED DOWN IN WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA. TENNIS BALL SIZED HAIL ALSO SLAMMED PARTS OF VIRGINIA YESTERDAY COVERING THE GROUND THERE. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN TRACKING THE FORECAST FOR US. >> MELISSA, WHAT'S THE LATEST? WELL, I'M WATCHING CLOSELY EASTERN MICHIGAN BECAUSE WE'RE EXPECTING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH TO BE ISSUED THERE SHORTLY, INCLUDING DETROIT. THAT'S WHERE WE COULD SEE THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. SO THAT STRETCHES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH THIS EVENING. WELL, AS PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC, INCLUDING RALEIGH THERE. AND WE'LL BE TRACKING ENTIRE SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS IT MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE NORTHEAST. >> SO TOMORROW ALONG I-80 OR UP AND DOWN THAT 95 CORRIDOR, IF YOU'RE STILL TRYING TO MAKE YOUR WAY TO YOUR HOLIDAY DESTINATION, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE COULD BE SOME SEVERE WEATHER IN YOUR PATH. DAMAGING WINDS, THE MAIN THREAT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST, THAT INCLUDES D.C., PHILLY THROUGH NEW JERSEY INTO UPSTATE NEW YORK THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SATURDAY. BUT THERE IS ONE OTHER SPOT WE'RE WATCHING, AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT ALL DAY. THAT'S THE FLASH FLOODING IN THE GULF COAST, ESPECIALLY LOUISIANA AND NOW THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER PUT OUT THIS ALERT THAT IT COULD BECOME SOMETHING TROPICAL. IT'S A LOW CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH IT, BUT IT WILL BRING THE THREAT OF FLASH ,UNFORTUNATELY, RIGHT THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. SO IF YOU'RE ALONG THE GULF COAST RIGHT THROUGH MONDAY, IT WILL STAY UNSETTLED WITH A LOT OF SHOWERS. BUT LOOK AT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. IT'S WARMING UP NICELY ON THE WEST COAST. PRETTY DRY FOR MUCH OF THE COUNTRY, ASIDE FROM THE GULF COAST AND HERE IN THE MIDWEST, THE NORTHEAST, IT WILL BE COOLER. >> BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES, IT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE FALL BY NEXT WEEK AFTER LABOR DAY, IOWA. OH, GOODNESS GRACIOUS. WHAT'S YOUR FAN? THANK YOU SO MUCH. ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN HOCKEY PLAYERS OF ALL TIME HAS DIED. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS STAR JOHNNY GAUDREAU WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT. AN ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER HIT HIM AND HIS BROTHER WHEN THEY WERE RIDING BIKES IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. MIKE MCCARTHY FROM OUR ABC STATION IN COLUMBUS HAS, MORE EITHER HERE AT NATIONWIDE ARENA AT THE HOME OF THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS, THERE IS A SENSE OF SHOCK RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHERE FANS HAVE BEEN COMING TO REMEMBER JOHNNY GAUDREAU, JOHNNY HOCKEY, AS HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS AMAZING ON THE ICE. AND YES, HE IS BEING REMEMBERED FOR THAT, BUT HE'S ALSO BEING REMEMBERED AS AN INSPIRATIONAL FIGURE. AND A FATHER. HE WAS NOT THE BIGGEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM, ONLY ABOUT FOOT NINE, BUT A REC LEAGUE PLAYER TOLD US HE IS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AND SAW IN GOODROW. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THE BIGGEST PLAYER TO HAVE A BIG IMPACT. WE ALSO TALKED TO THE COACH OF A YOUTH TEAM HERE IN COLUMBUS WHO SAYS MORE KIDS ON HIS TEAM WEAR THE NUMBER 13 THAN ANY OTHER. HE ANTICIPATES SOME TOUGH PRACTICES IN THE WEEKS AHEAD AS FANS STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN EITHER. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ESPN NATIONAL HOCKEY WRITER EMILY KAPLAN JOINS US NOW WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT KADRI'S CAREER AND LEGACY. THIS IS SUCH A HUGE LOSS FOR THE HOCKEY WORLD. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM RIGHT NOW? >> IT'S UNIMAGINABLE TO TALK ABOUT THIS, JEFF. AND HOCKEY IS A SMALL COMMUNITY. JOHNNY GAUDREAU, SO MANY WAS A BROTHER, A FRIEND, A TEAMMATE. EVERYONE I'VE REACHED OUT TO IN THE HOCKEY WORLD TODAY IS SHAKEN. HE WAS KNOWN AS THE GUY THAT WOULD ALWAYS COME TO THE RINK WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. BUT EVEN AS HE DEVELOPED INTO OF THE BEST WINGERS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, HE WAS NOT KNOWN FOR HIS AUTHENTICITY. IN COLLEGE, HIS NICKNAME WAS JOHNNY HAMMOND CHEESE BECAUSE THE HAM AND SANDWICH SEVEN DAYS A WEEK WHEN THE GUYS WENT OUT TO SUSHI, HE BROUGHT A HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH. THEY DIDN'T LIKE SUSHI VERY MUCH. AND ABOVE ALL ELSE, HE WAS KNOWN AS A FAMILY MAN. YOU KNOW, HE WAS KILLED ALONGSIDE HIS BROTHER, MATTY. THEY SIGNED WITH BOSTON COLLEGE AS A PACKAGE DEAL. THEY WERE ALWAYS TOGETHER. THEY WERE IN SOUTH JERSEY AT THE TIME BECAUSE THERE WERE RUMORS IN THEIR WEDDING WHICH SUPPOSED TO BE HELD THIS WEEKEND. AND HIS PARENTS WERE ALWAYS DRIVING TO HIS GAMES TO SUPPORT HIM. SO HE WAS KNOWN SOMEBODY WHO WAS SO CLOSE AND CARED SO MUCH ABOUT THOSE AROUND HIM, BUT SPECIFICALLY HIS FAMILY. >> AND HE WAS SUCH A LEGEND FIGURE BEFORE HE EVEN WENT PRO. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS ABOUT HIM THAT DREW PEOPLE IN THAT EXCITEMENT TOWARDS HIM? >> THE FACT THAT HE WAS LIKE FIVE FOOT SIX WHEN HE WAS DRAFTED, DRAFTED IN THE FOURTH ROUND IN THE NHL? THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WHEN YOU GET DRAFTED, YOU'LL EVEN MAKE THE LEAGUE IN THE FOURTH ROUND. IT'S INCREDIBLE TO CARVE OUT THE CAREER THAT HE HAD AND HE HAD TO WORK FOR EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD. YOU KNOW, AT BOSTON COLLEGE, HE WON A NATIONAL TITLE WHEN HE WAS A FRESHMAN AND THEN WENT ON TO WIN THE HOBEY BAKER AWARD AS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY. BUT THEN ONCE HE GOT TO THE NHL, I THINK THE REST OF THE HOCKEY WORLD SAW, WHAT A SPECIAL TALENT HE WAS BECAUSE HE WAS SO SMALL AND ALSO SKINNY. THERE WERE SMALLER PLAYERS BEFORE HIM, BUT WHAT HE WAS ABLE TO DO, THE ELUSIVE CITY, THE CREATIVITY TO MAKE PLAYS SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOTHING AND INSPIRED SO MANY OTHER PLAYERS AROUND THIS LEAGUE. AND IT JUST MADE HIM INCREDIBLE FIGURE. AND ONE OF THE AWARDS THAT HE DID WIN IN THE NHL WAS LADY AWARD. THAT'S TYPICALLY GIVEN TO THE PLAYER THAT HAS THE BEST ON PRODUCTION, BUT ALSO TAKES THE LEFT PENALTY. THAT'S FOR GENTLEMANLY. >> SO I KNOW THAT WILL BE PART OF HIS LEGACY AS WELL. HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER HIM? >> AGAIN, I THINK IT'S SOMEONE WHO JUST CARED HIS FAMILY. YOU KNOW, HE BECAME A FREE AGENT IN 2022, BUT HE WAS THE BIGGEST FREE AGENT IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE. HE HAD NINE YEARS IN CALGARY AND CALGARY, WANTED TO SIGN HIM AND HE WANTED TO RESIGN THERE, TOO. BUT BECAUSE HE WAS FROM SOUTH JERSEY, IT WAS REALLY HARD FOR HIM TO BE SO FAR AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY AND HIS WIFE. MEREDITH FAMILY. HE WAS A NURSE. HE COULDN'T WORK IN CANADA. HIS FATHER A HEART ATTACK IN 2018. THAT WAS A VERY SOBERING MOMENT FOR HIM. THE FACT THAT HE WASN'T ABLE TO BE THERE WITH HIM AS MUCH AS HE WANTED TO AND REALIZED HE WASN'T WITH HIS FAMILY AS MUCH AS HE WANTED TO. SO HE SHOCKED EVERYBODY BY SIGNING IN COLUMBUS. AND IT WAS THIS MASSIVE DEAL. AND I REMEMBER HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY. IT WAS IN NOVEMBER OF HIS FIRST SEASON IN COLUMBUS, AND IT WASN'T GOING WELL FOR EITHER HIM OR THE TEAM. THEY WEREN'T PERFORMING WELL. NEITHER WAS HE. AND HE SAID, NO, EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS OUT HERE CHASE THE MONEY, AND THAT COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. HE TOLD ME, LOVE IT HERE. MY WIFE MEREDITH LOVES IT HERE. OUR FAMILIES LOVE IT HERE. WE LOVE THAT WE CAN SEE OUR FAMILY SO MUCH. AND I WOULDN'T TRADE THAT DECISION FOR THE WORLD. AND I'LL JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT CONVICTION THAT HE HAD. AND AGAIN, CONNECTION HE HAD TO THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM AS WHO HE REALLY WAS AS A PERSON. AND LIKE KAPLAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING THAT TO US, SHARING THAT WITH US TODAY. COMING UP, ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING MATTHEW PERRY KETAMINE LEADING TO HIS OVERDOSE DEATH IS IN COURT TODAY. WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM LOS. AND THE WEST NILE VIRUS. DEATH TOLL IS MOUNTING. TWO MORE DEATHS IN NEW JERSEY JUST ANNOUNCED AND CAUSING MANY TO BE HOSPITALIZED. TELL YOU WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR WHEN WE COME BACK. >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE. MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST. ABC NEWS 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, EMPOWERING JAW DROPPING. THE MOST POWERFUL STORIES OUR TIME MAGANA ON RIGHT AFTER KIM WEHLE AND STREAMING ON HULU . >> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE? FROM ABC NEWS? THIS IS START HERE. TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE THE DAY'S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET'S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD R. MURROW LAWRENCE AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST. WORTHLESS MEANING TO START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY LISTEN. >> NOW, THAT'S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING. WHEREVER GET YOUR PODCASTS START HERE. WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. NEW DEVELOPMENTS TODAY IN THE INVESTIGATION OF MATTHEW PERRY'S DEATH. ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING THE ACTOR WITH KETAMINE THAT LED TO HIS OVERDOSE IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT TODAY. MARK CHAVEZ REACHED A AGREEMENT WITH PROSECUTORS EARLIER THIS MONTH AND IF HE OFFICIALLY ENTERS THAT GUILTY PLEA, HE WILL BECOME THE THIRD PERSON TO DO SO IN THIS CASE. ABC'S ALEX STONE JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE. YOU'RE THERE AT THE COURTHOUSE. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO ENTER A PLEA TODAY BUT WE'RE NOW HEARING THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE. >> WHAT'S THE LATEST HERE? THAT MAY NOT. BUT RIGHT NOW HE IS WALKING INTO THE COURTHOUSE, AS I SPEAK . THIS CROWD OF CAMERAMEN WHO ARE RUNNING AROUND. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET AROUND CHAVEZ AS HE IS WALKING IN FOR THIS COURT APPEARANCE. WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE TODAY IS PROBABLY A VERY SHORT COURT HEARING, ONLY REALLY SHOWING UP TO SAY THAT HE UNDERSTANDS ACCOUNTS AGAINST HIM ALLEGEDLY SUPPLYING KETAMINE TO ANOTHER DOCTOR, DR. SALVADOR PLACENTIA, DR. SALVADOR PLACENTIA, THEN ALLEGEDLY GAVE IT TO MATTHEW PERRY THAT HE WAS, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS THE SOURCE, GETTING IT FROM HIS KETAMINE CLINIC. BUT KNOWING THAT IT WAS GOING TO MATTHEW PERRY, A KNOWN ADDICT TODAY, HE ENTER HIS GUILTY PLEA. WE KNOW HE HAS AGREED TO A GUILTY AND WILL WORK WITH PROSECUTORS IF THAT WILL COME TODAY. WE DON'T KNOW. MAY JUST SET A DATE FOR LATER ON, BUT HE'LL BE IN COURT IN A LITTLE LESS THAN AN HOUR. >> SO THIS PLEA DEAL REQUIRES THAT HE COOPERATES PROSECUTORS IN THIS INVESTIGATION. SO I'M CURIOUS, WHO ELSE ARE THEY TARGETING HERE? >> THEY'RE TARGETING A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEFENDANTS SAID THERE ARE FIVE IN TOTAL AND THREE HAVE NOW MADE DEALS TO WORK WITH PROSECUTORS, INCLUDING THE ASSISTANT FOR MATTHEW PERRY. AND THEN A REALLY A STREET LEVEL, MORE LIKE A DRUG DEALER, BUT A MIDDLE MAN WHO WAS ALLEGEDLY IN ALL OF THIS. AND THEY'RE MAKING DEALS TO GET LESS TIME IN PRISON. DR. CHAVEZ, HE COULD BE LOOKING AT TEN YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON ,MAYBE LESS, FOR MAKING THAT DEAL AND WORKING WITH PROSECUTORS. BUT THE TWO THEY'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON IS THAT OTHER DOCTOR, DR. WHO ALLEGEDLY ORCHESTRATED ALL OF THIS, OF GETTING HIM THE KETAMINE. HE COULD BE LOOKING AT 120 YEARS IN PRISON. HE, AT THIS POINT IS NOT PLEADING GUILTY. AND THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD. HE'S PLEADING GUILTY. AND THEN THE OTHER BEING JAZ, BEING SAYING HE'S KNOWN AS A KETAMINE QUEEN OF LOS ANGELES, SHE IS THE ONE WHO ALLEGEDLY SUPPLIED THE FATAL DOSE OF KETAMINE AND SAY SHE WAS RUNNING A DRUG EMPORIUM OUT OF HER. MATTHEW PERRY ALLEGEDLY WENT TO HER WHEN THE DOCTORS TOO EXPENSIVE. BUT BOTH DR. PLACENTIA AND SINGHA ARE ACCUSED OF BEING THE SUPPLIERS OF THAT KETAMINE. >> AND ALEX, YOU MENTION THIS DOCTOR CHAVEZ. IF HE ENTERS THIS GUILTY PLEA, HE FACES UP TO TEN YEARS IN PRISON. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN THESE OTHER CASES? >> WELL, KNOW DR. PLACENTIA, THE OTHER DOCTOR, AND HAS SAYING THEY ARE DUE IN COURT. THEY HAVE A HEARING, REALLY JUST A STATUS CHECK IN NEXT WEEK THAT THE PROSECUTION WOULD LIKE TO PUT BOTH OF THEIR CASES TOGETHER INTO ONE FOR ONE TRIAL. TECHNICALLY, RIGHT NOW. THEIR TRIAL IS SET FOR OCTOBER, BUT IF THEY DO COMBINE THEM, IT'LL PROBABLY BE SOMETIME NEXT YEAR. THESE OTHERS ARE GOING TO HAVE HEARINGS HERE AND THERE. BUT REALLY, IT COMES DOWN TO SENTENCING. WE DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE SENTENCING DATES YET. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SET OR AT LEAST PUBLICLY RELEASED, WHAT THOSE DATES ARE GOING BE, BUT THEY'LL LEARN THEIR SENTENCES. >> ALEX STONE RIGHT OUTSIDE COURTHOUSE THERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WELL, HEALTH OFFICIALS REPORTING AT LEAST 18 WEST NILE VIRUS DEATHS, INCLUDING TWO IN WISCONSIN AND ONE IN ILLINOIS. AS MORE CASES OF, THE MOSQUITO BORNE ILLNESS ARE POPPING UP ACROSS THE U.S. RIGHT NOW. AT LEAST 33 STATES ARE REPORTING WEST NILE ACTIVITY. ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 200 DEATHS FROM WEST NILE ARE TYPICALLY REPORTED EACH YEAR. BUT NOW MANY REGIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE TAKING MAJOR PRECAUTIONS. IN MISSOURI, AN 18-YEAR-OLD BOY IS FIGHTING FOR LIFE ON A VENTILATOR AFTER CONTRACTING THE VIRUS. HIS PARENTS SAY IT STARTED HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS, THEN SPIRALED INTO VOMITING, DISORIENTATION AND A HIGH FEVER. LET'S BRING IN ABC NEWS IS ERIELLE RESHEF AND YOU'VE BEEN COVERING AREA. WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THE NUMBERS AS FAR AS THESE CASES GO? YEAH, OF COURSE, OFFICIALS ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED HERE. EVEN WE'RE SEEING 290 CASES IN MORE THAN 30 STATES, WHICH IS WHAT YOU MENTIONED. AND IT'S NOT REALLY SPECIFIC TO GEOGRAPHY HERE. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE MAP, THESE CASES ARE SPREAD IN OF THE COUNTRY. TAKE A LOOK HERE. WE CAN SHOW IT TO YOU. EXPERTS CAUTION THAT THE DATA IS LAGGING HERE AND WE MAY NOT REALLY HAVE A FULL PICTURE QUITE YET, BUT WE KNOW THAT WE JUST CONFIRMED MOMENTS AGO THAT THERE WERE TWO DEATHS IN NEW JERSEY FROM WEST NILE VIRUS. WE'VE CONFIRMED YESTERDAY DEATHS IN WISCONSIN. SO OFFICIALS ARE KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON THAT. AND COURSE, THEY'RE ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS, MORE RARE AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL VIRUS CALLED TRIPLE E, WHICH IS MOSQUITO BORNE. WELL, CASES ARE NOW IN ABOUT HALF A DOZEN STATES, MOSTLY CONCENTRATED UP HERE IN THE NORTH EAST. A COUPLE POPPING UP IN WISCONSIN. WE KNOW THAT ONE PERSON HAS DIED FROM THAT VIRUS. A MAN HIS FORTIES SAID TO HAVE BEEN IN GOOD HEALTH. SO OFFICIALS KEEPING A VERY CLOSE WATCH ON BOTH OF THESE VIRUSES AT ONCE. NOW, YOU MENTIONED TRIPLE A. WEST NILE VIRUS. HOW CONCERNED SHOULD WE BE? BECAUSE THIS IS A HOLIDAY. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE. YEAH, OF COURSE. PEOPLE SHOULD BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT. AND RIGHT NOW WE JUST LEARNED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THAT THERE'S A YOUNG MAN IN MISSOURI WHO IS IN HIS TEENS . HE'S 18 YEARS OLD. HE WAS HEALTHY, RECENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE AND. ALL OF A SUDDEN, HIS PARENTS SAID THAT HE WAS COMPLAINING OF A VERY HIGH FEVER, DIZZINESS AND REALLY FELT DISORIENTED. AND THEN HIS SYMPTOMS SPIRALED PRETTY QUICKLY OUT OF CONTROL. AND WE SPOKE TO HIS FATHER, WHO TELLS US THAT HE WAS IN AND OUT OF THE E.R. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HE FOUND HIS SON ON A VENTILATOR AND UNABLE TO MOVE. >> AND WE SPOKE TO HIS FATHER LAST NIGHT. I WANT TO LISTEN TO HIM. >> IT'S DIFFICULT. MY SON WAS A HEALTHY, ATHLETIC INDIVIDUAL, VERY OUTGOING AND CHARISMATIC. AND TO SEE HIM LETHARGIC AND STRUGGLE TO DO SIMPLE, BASIC, IT'S HARD. THE DOCTOR DESCRIBED AS A MARATHON TO BEAT THIS VIRUS, SINCE THERE'S NO ACTUAL CURE FOR YOU GOT TO JUST. >> YEAH. IMPORTANT TO NOTE, THERE THERE IS NO CURE OR VACCINE TO PREVENT WEST NILE OR TRIPLE . AND SO SEVERE CASES AND DEATHS ARE EXTREMELY RARE ACCORDING TO AUTHORITIES. BUT THEY CAN HAPPEN ABOUT ONE IN 150 WEST NILE CASES ARE VERY SEVERE AND ABOUT 30% OF THOSE WHO CONTRACT TRIPLE E MAY HAVE BRAIN SWELLING. THAT LEADS TO DEATH. SO THIS IS SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT CONTEXT HERE TO REMEMBER THAT. EACH SUMMER AND FALL, WE SEE A RISE IN THESE TYPES OF MOSQUITO BORNE. SO THIS YEAR IS REALLY NO DIFFERENT IN THAT SENSE. BUT WHEN WE TALK, CLIMATE CHANGE EXPERTS ARE SAYING WE'RE SEEING MORE RAINFALL. WE'RE SEEING TEMPERATURES, AND THAT IS LEADING TO A BIGGER MOSQUITO POPULATION. AND A LONGER SEASON. SO PEOPLE REALLY DO NEED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS. BUT AGAIN, WE'RE AT ANY WORSE POINT THIS YEAR THAN WE WERE LAST YEAR. BUT YOU GOT TO STAY SAFE THIS HOLIDAY AND THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO. SPRAY THE DEET, MAKE SURE THERE'S NO STANDING WATER. ALL OF THESE. EXACTLY. AND STAY INSIDE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY TONIGHT. YES. THANKS, ERIELLE RESHEF. GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU.

BUT FOR THOSE OF US EXPERIENCING IT FROM THE INSIDE, THE BRAT PACK WAS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. IF YOU HAVE A BRAT PACK NAME, NOT EXIST. >> WOULD YOU? HMM. I HATED THE. WHAT A DISASTER. >> WHY DID WE TAKE IT AS AN OFFENSE AFTER NOT GOING TO SAY WE WERE BEETLES? >> WELL, WE DIDN'T KILL SHEA STADIUM. 1985. >> I THINK WE COULD HAVE.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP GETTING SET FOR RALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA. TRUMP CONTINUING A SWING THROUGH THE RUST BELT AS HE TRIES TO WIN OVER VOTERS IN THOSE KEY BATTLEGROUND. ONE SUPPORTER AT THE RALLY TELLING ABC NEWS SHE WANTS TO HEAR HIM FOCUS ON POLICY. >> YOU KNOW, LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM CONTRASTING HIMSELF WITH KAMALA HARRIS, OUR CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT, BECAUSE IT'S DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT AND SHE KEEPS COPYING HIS POLICIES. SO I'M SURE HE'LL BE COLORFUL ABOUT THAT. BUT I REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CONTRAST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT, KAMALA HARRIS, FINALLY SITTING DOWN FOR HER FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. JOINING ME NOW, WE HAVE TERRY MORAN TRAVELING WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN PENNSYLVANIA. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS AND CONTRIBUTING POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT RACHEL. TERRY, LET'S START WITH YOU. TRUMP IS REALLY FOCUSING ON THE THREE SO-CALLED BLUE FIREWALL STATES. THIS WEEK. HE WON ALL THREE IN 2016, THEN LOST ALL THREE IN 2020. WHAT'S HIS PLAN TO WIN THOSE VOTERS? WELL, HE'S GOING TO COME HERE A LOT, THAT'S FOR SURE. BUT REALLY IT IS THOSE THAT VOTERS ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU TALK TO PEOPLE HERE, ECONOMY IMMIGRATION, MOSTLY THE ECONOMY OVER AND OVER AND OVER. >> AND POLLS CONSISTENTLY SHOW THAT TRUMP IS FAVORED ON THOSE ISSUES NOT JUST BY THE PEOPLE COME TO HIS RALLY, BUT BY VOTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND SO HE DOES HAVE AN ADVANTAGE IF AND THIS IS SOMETIMES A BIG IF WITH DONALD TRUMP, HE CAN STICK TO THE SCRIPT. >> I MEAN, LOOK, THIS IS A SHOW, RIGHT? A TRUMP RALLY IS AN EVENT IN A COMMUNITY MUSIC. THERE'S MERCHANDISE AND THERE'S TRUMP, THE STAR PERFORMER WHO SOMETIMES USUALLY WANDERS FROM HIS SCRIPT. PEOPLE HERE DO WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THOSE PRACTICAL POLICY ISSUES, ESPECIALLY THE ECONOMY. IF HE DOES THAT, HE'S GOT A GOOD SHOT. >> HE OR SHE, FOR THAT MATTER. MARYALICE JUST ANNOUNCED WHAT SHE'S CALLING A REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM BUS TOUR. IT'S COMING AFTER A BIT OF A SHIFT FROM TRUMP ON THE ISSUE OF REPRODUCTIVE. THIS IS CLEARLY A BIG ISSUE FOR VOTERS. SO WHAT IS THE STRATEGY HERE FOR BOTH OF THEM? YEAH, IT'S BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR VOTERS. ALSO, CENTRAL TO THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN, CENTRAL TO DEMOCRATS RUNNING ACROSS THE COUNTRY EVER SINCE THE FALL OF ROE V WADE. THEY ARE PUSHING FOR A NATIONAL LAW TO RESTORE TO ABORTION CARE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND WE'RE SEEING THE HARRIS TEAM REALLY DOWN WITH THIS NEW BUS TOUR, LIKE YOU SAID. INTERESTING THAT THEY'RE LAUNCHING THAT BUS TOUR, FLORIDA. THEY PITCHED IT AS SPECIFICALLY LAUNCHING IT IN TRUMP'S OWN BACKYARD. OF COURSE, THERE'S A BALLOT INITIATIVE THAT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER IN FLORIDA THAT, WOULD OVERTURN THE REALLY RESTRICTIVE SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE THERE AFTER THE FALL OF ROE. THE BALLOT INITIATIVE WOULD RESTORE ABORTION ACCESS UP TO A TWO VIABILITY. IT WAS INTERESTING THAT YESTERDAY, WHEN TRUMP WAS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS, HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT SIX WEEKS WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME, SUGGESTING THAT HE WAS GOING TO VOTE IN OF OVERTURNING THAT CONSERVATIVE LAW IN THE STATE. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE HE HAS A NEW CAMPAIGN PROPOSAL. HE WANTS TO PAY FOR TREATMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. OF COURSE, IT WAS CONSERVATIVE JUDGES IN, THE STATE OF ALABAMA, THAT ACTUALLY MADE IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN THAT STATE BRIEFLY TO PAY FOR A CLINIC TO GO AHEAD WITH IVF TREATMENT. HARRIS HIS TEAM OUT THERE WITH SURROGATES TODAY SAYING THAT FEMALE ARE NOT STUPID. THEY KNOW WHO PUT FERTILITY TREATMENTS, ABORTION ACCESS SORT OF ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. IT WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING. OBVIOUSLY, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CENTRAL PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN AHEAD OF NOVEMBER. EVA AND RACHEL, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT INTERVIEW. HARRIS AND WALZ SAT DOWN LAST NIGHT WITH CNN. I'M CURIOUS WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM THAT YET? IT SEEMED LIKE HER TEAM HAD ONE INTENTION IN MIND WHEN THEY WENT INTO THAT DOWN, AND THAT IS TO RUN TO THE CENTER. OBVIOUSLY, HARRIS' TEAM, THEY'RE VERY CLEAR EYED ABOUT HER. HER GREATEST VULNERABILITY, THAT IS THE POSITION SHE TOOK IN 2020 WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, THEN BASICALLY MOVING TO THE LEFT, SUPPORTING THINGS LIKE MEDICARE FOR ALL, GETTING RID OF PRIVATE INSURANCE, BANNING FRACKING, DECRIMINALIZE, USING BORDER CROSSINGS FOR MIGRANTS COMING TO THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT PERMISSION, WITHOUT VISAS AND SUCH. BUT LOOK, SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT ALL OF THOSE POSITIONS DURING THIS INTERVIEW AND SHE MADE CLEAR THAT SHE DOESN'T SUPPORT THEM ANYMORE. SHE SAID ON FRACKING THAT SHE HAS BEEN CLEAR FROM HER PREVIOUS POSITION THAT SHE DOES NOT SUPPORT GETTING RID OF FRACKING, THAT THERE'S A WAY TO SORT OF CLIMATE CHANGE BY BASICALLY SUPPORTING CLEAN ENERGY INITIATIVES WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE CROSSING INTO THE UNITED STATES, SHE THAT THESE THINGS SHOULD HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND THAT FOLKS NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAW. SHE MADE CLEAR WHERE SHE STOOD ON THAT AND SAID SHE WOULD SIGN THE BIPARTISAN BORDER CRACKDOWN BILL THAT DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF ACTUALLY KILLED. IF SHE'S PRESIDENT, SHE WOULD SIGN THAT INTO LAW. AND LOOK, WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT HOW HISTORIC IT WOULD BE TO SEE THE FIRST WOMAN AND FIRST BLACK WOMAN AS PRESIDENT, SHE SAID SHE BASICALLY RAN AWAY FROM THAT QUESTION. SHE SAID, LOOK, I'M RUNNING TO BE A LEADER FOR ALL AMERICANS. AND THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING AS WELL TO WATCH, BECAUSE WHILE IT MIGHT SPEAK TO A CERTAIN SECTOR OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, A LOT OF SWING VOTERS, THEY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT HISTORIC. THEY WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO. WHAT IS A CANDIDATE GOING TO DO FOR THEM. AND SO I THINK THAT THAT WAS THEIR INTENTION IN THIS INTERVIEW. AND THEY CLEARLY EXECUTED IT. >> TERRY TRUMP'S ALSO SET TO GIVE AN BEFORE A MOMS FOR LIBERTY. THAT'S A GROUP THAT SPEARHEADED A LOT OF THOSE BOOK BANS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. TONIGHT. HOW YOU THINK THIS WILL BE RECEIVED? >> WELL, THAT THAT IS NOT A POPULAR POSITION AMONG MOST BANNING BOOKS FROM SCHOOL LIBRARIES IS A POPULAR POSITION WITH GROUP, WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN TOUCHED WITH SCANDAL IN ITS LEADERSHIP. >> SO IT HAS SOME CONTROVERSY THERE. BUT THAT GROUP IS ASSOCIATED WITH SOMETHING THAT IS POPULAR ,WHICH IS PARENTS FRANKLY, HAVING MORE INPUT ON THE TEACHING OF SOME OF THESE ISSUES, IN PARTICULAR ISSUES AROUND SEXUALITY AND GENDER. AND CERTAINLY IF THEIR OWN ARE INVOLVED IN SOME KIND OF QUESTIONING OF THEIR GENDER PARENTS, WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT. >> THAT IS A WHOLE SHOW, A PRETTY MAINSTREAM POSITION. HIT HARD ON THAT. THAT'S RIGHT. THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO HIS BASE IF THIS GROUP WANTS TO MAKE IT. >> TERRY MORAN MARYALICE, PARKS AND RACHEL BAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. AND SEPTEMBER VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS. AGAIN, THAT IS SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 9:00 EASTERN. AND YOU CAN WATCH IT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. WELL, IT'S TIME TO BUCKLE UP FOR THE HOLIDAY RUSH TODAY. WE ARE EXPECTING THE BUSIEST DAY OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND FOR THOSE TAKING TO THE SKIES. TSA OFFICIALS PREPARING TO SCREEN AT LEAST 2.8 MILLION PASSENGERS TODAY ALONE WITH CHICAGO, DALLAS, FORT WORTH AND ATLANTA EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST AIRPORT HUBS. AIRPORT OFFICIALS IN THOSE CITIES WARNING THAT STORMY WEATHER COULD BE A WILD CARD. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE SKIES. ROADS WILL BE PACKED WITH TRAFFIC AS WELL. TRIPLE A WARNING, MILLIONS MORE AMERICANS WILL TAKE A ROAD TRIP THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. >> ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY IS TRACKING ALL OF IT FOR US. SAM. WE'VE GOT TO START WITH THE SKIES. HOW IS TSA PREPARING TO HANDLE ALL OF THESE PASSENGERS? WELL, TSA SAYS THEY ARE FULLY STAFFED. THEY'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 17 MILLION PEOPLE TO TRAVEL FOR THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY. THAT BE THE BUSIEST LABOR DAY TRAVEL PERIOD IN THE AGENCY'S 22 YEAR HISTORY. BUT THIS HAS BEEN A BUSY SUMMER. WE'VE SEEN RECORD TRAVEL, ALMOST 3 MILLION PEOPLE TRAVELING ON THE BUSIEST DAY. SO THEY SAY THEY ARE PREPARED. AND THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE COUNTRY. JUST SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 200 FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE ALL THOSE PLANES ON YOUR SCREEN THAT ARE IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE MORE THAN 40,000 DEPARTURES. SO ARE PRETTY SMOOTH SO FAR. >> I'M CURIOUS HOW THESE AIRLINES WERE MANAGING OPERATION INS. HAS THERE BEEN ANY STAFFING OR DELAYS THAT HAVE CAUSED ANY ISSUES AT THIS POINT? NOT ALL THINGS ARE GOOD RIGHT NOW. THE AIRLINES HAVE ADDED FLIGHTS. THEY'VE EXTENDED THEIR FLIGHT SCHEDULES LATER INTO THE NIGHT AND STARTING EARLIER IN THE MORNING, THEY CAN ACCOMMODATE MORE PEOPLE. BUT SO FAR, THEY SAY THINGS GOING SMOOTHLY. AND AGAIN, VERY FEW CANCELLATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ROADS. MILLIONS ARE PREPARING. TAKE A ROAD TRIP. SO WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO LEAVE? THE BEST TIME TO LEAVE IS EARLY IN THE MORNING OR LATE AT NIGHT AFTER THE RUSH HOUR COMMUTE. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE QUIETER ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BUT IF YOU'RE COMING BACK ON MONDAY, YOU WANT TO LEAVE BEFORE 10 A.M. TO BEAT THOSE AFTERNOON RUSH HOURS. >> ALL RIGHT. GOOD TIPS THERE FOR US, SAM SWEENEY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. EXTREME WEATHER IS THREATENING TO DISRUPT TRAVEL FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SEVERE STORMS SLAMMED THE MIDWEST OVERNIGHT, BRINGING STRONG WINDS HAIL AND EVEN TORNADOES. AT LEAST FOUR REPORTED TWISTERS TOUCHED IN WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA. TENNIS BALL SIZED HAIL ALSO SLAMMED PARTS OF VIRGINIA YESTERDAY COVERING THE GROUND THERE. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN TRACKING THE FORECAST FOR US. MELISSA, WHAT'S THE LATEST? >> WELL, I'M WATCHING CLOSELY EASTERN MICHIGAN BECAUSE WE'RE EXPECTING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH TO BE ISSUED THERE SHORTLY. DETROIT. THAT'S WHERE WE COULD SEE THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. SO THAT STRETCHES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH THIS EVENING, AS WELL AS PARTS THE MID-ATLANTIC, INCLUDING RALEIGH THERE. AND WE'LL BE TRACKING THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS IT MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE NORTHEAST. SO TOMORROW ALONG I-80 OR UP AND DOWN THAT 95 CORRIDOR, IF YOU'RE STILL TRYING TO MAKE YOUR WAY TO YOUR HOLIDAY DESTINATION, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE COULD SOME SEVERE WEATHER IN YOUR PATH. DAMAGING WINDS, THE MAIN THREAT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST, THAT INCLUDES D.C., PHILLY, UP THROUGH NEW JERSEY INTO UPSTATE YORK THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SATURDAY. BUT THERE IS ONE OTHER SPOT WE'RE WATCHING AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT ALL DAY. THAT'S THE FLASH FLOODING IN THE GULF COAST, ESPECIALLY LOUISIANA AND NOW THE NATIONAL HURRICANE PUT OUT THIS ALERT THAT IT COULD BECOME SOMETHING TROPICAL. THE LOW CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH IT, BUT IT WILL BRING THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING ON, FORTUNATELY, RIGHT THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. SO IF YOU'RE ALONG THE GULF COAST RIGHT MONDAY, IT WILL STAY UNSETTLED WITH A LOT OF SHOWERS. BUT LOOK AT THE REST OF THE IT'S WARMING UP NICELY ON THE WEST COAST. PRETTY DRY FOR OF THE COUNTRY ASIDE FROM THE GULF COAST AND HERE IN THE MIDWEST AND THE IT WILL BE COOLER. >> BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. IT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE FALL BY NEXT WEEK AFTER LABOR DAY. >> OH, GOODNESS GRACIOUS. WHAT'S YOUR. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. WELL, ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN HOCKEY PLAYERS OF ALL TIME HAS DIED. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS STAR JOHNNY GAUDREAU WAS KILLED LAST WHEN AN ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER HIT HIM AND HIS BROTHER WHEN THEY WERE RIDING BIKES IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. MIKE MCCARTHY FROM OUR ABC STATION IN COLUMBUS HAS MORE. >> EVEN HERE AT NATIONWIDE, AT THE HOME OF THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS, THERE IS A SENSE OF SHOCK RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHERE FANS HAVE BEEN COMING TO REMEMBER JOHNNY GAUDREAU, JOHNNY HOCKEY, AS HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS AMAZING ON THE ICE. AND YES, HE IS BEING REMEMBERED FOR THAT, BUT HE'S ALSO BEING REMEMBERED AS AN INSPIRATIONAL FIGURE. AND FATHER. HE WAS NOT THE BIGGEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM, ONLY ABOUT FOOT NINE, BUT A REC LEAGUE PLAYER TOLD US HE IS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AND SAW IN GOODROW. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THE BIGGEST PLAYER TO HAVE A BIG IMPACT. WE ALSO TALKED TO THE COACH OF YOUTH TEAM HERE IN COLUMBUS WHO SAYS MORE KIDS ON HIS TEAM WEAR THE NUMBER 13 THAN ANY OTHER. HE ANTICIPATES SOME TOUGH PRACTICES IN THE WEEKS AHEAD AS FANS STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN EITHER. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH, ESPN NATIONAL HOCKEY WRITER EMILY KAPLAN JOINS US NOW WITH A CLOSER AT KADRI'S CAREER AND LEGACY. THIS IS SUCH A HUGE LOSS FOR THE HOCKEY WORLD. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. >> IT'S UNIMAGINABLE TO TALK ABOUT DEATH AND HOCKEY IS A SMALL COMMUNITY. JOHNNY GAUDREAU, TO SO MANY WAS A BROTHER, A FRIEND, A TEAMMATE. EVERYONE, I'VE REACHED OUT TO IN THE HOCKEY WORLD TODAY IS SHAKEN. HE WAS KNOWN AS A GUY THAT WOULD ALWAYS COME THE RINK WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. BUT EVEN AS HE DEVELOPED INTO ONE OF THE BEST WINGERS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS AUTHENTICITY. IN COLLEGE, HIS NICKNAME WAS JOHNNY HAMMOND CHEESE BECAUSE HE ATE A HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. WHEN THE GUYS WENT TO SUSHI. HE BROUGHT A HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH. THEY DIDN'T LIKE SUSHI VERY MUCH. AND ALL ELSE. HE WAS KNOWN AS A FAMILY MAN. YOU KNOW, HE WAS KILLED ALONGSIDE HIS BROTHER MATTY. THEY SIGNED WITH BOSTON COLLEGE AS A PACKAGE DEAL. THEY WERE ALWAYS TOGETHER. THEY WERE IN SOUTH JERSEY AT THE TIME BECAUSE THERE ROOMS IN THEIR SISTER'S WEDDING, WHICH SUPPOSED TO BE HELD THIS WEEKEND. AND HIS PARENTS WERE ALWAYS DRIVING TO HIS GAMES TO SUPPORT HIM. SO HE WAS KNOWN AS SOMEBODY WHO WAS SO CLOSE, CARED SO MUCH ABOUT THOSE AROUND HIM, BUT SPECIFICALLY HIS FAMILY. AND HE WAS SUCH A LEGENDARY FIGURE BEFORE HE EVEN WENT PRO. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS ABOUT HIM THAT DREW IN THAT EXCITEMENT TOWARDS HIM? THE FACT THAT HE WAS LIKE FIVE FOOT SIX WHEN HE WAS DRAFTED. DRAFTED IN THE FOURTH ROUND IN THE NHL? THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WHEN YOU GET DRAFTED. YOU'LL EVEN MAKE THE LEAGUE IN THE FOURTH ROUND. IT'S INCREDIBLE. CARVE OUT THE CAREER THAT HE HAD AND HE HAD TO WORK FOR EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD. YOU KNOW, AT BOSTON COLLEGE, HE WON A NATIONAL TITLE WHEN HE WAS A FRESHMAN AND THEN WENT ON TO WIN THE HOBEY BAKER AWARD AS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY. BUT THEN ONCE HE GOT TO THE NHL, I THINK THE REST OF THE HOCKEY WORLD SAW A SPECIAL TALENT HE WAS BECAUSE HE WAS SO SMALL AND ALSO SKINNY. THERE WERE SMALLER PLAYERS BEFORE HIM, BUT WHAT HE WAS ABLE TO DO, THE ELUSIVE CITY, THE CREATIVE TO MAKE PLAYS SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOTHING INSPIRED SO OTHER PLAYERS AROUND THIS LEAGUE AND IT JUST MADE HIM AN INCREDIBLE AND ONE OF THE AWARD THAT HE DID WIN IN THE NHL WAS THE LADY BING AWARD THAT'S TYPICALLY GIVEN TO THE PLAYER THAT HAS THE BEST ON ICE PRODUCTION BUT ALSO TAKES THE LEFT PENALTY. THAT'S FOR GENTLEMANLY PLAY. SO I THAT WILL BE PART OF HIS LEGACY AS WELL. >> HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER HIM? AGAIN, I THINK IT'S SOMEONE WHO JUST CARED ABOUT HIS FAMILY. YOU KNOW, WHEN HE BECAME A FREE AGENT IN 2022, HE WAS THE BIGGEST FREE AGENT IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE. HE HAD PLAYED NINE YEARS IN CALGARY AND CALGARY, WANT TO RESIGN HIM AND HE WANTED TO RESIGN THERE, TOO. BUT BECAUSE HE WAS FROM SOUTH JERSEY, IT REALLY HARD FOR HIM TO BE SO FAR AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY AND HIS WIFE. MEREDITH'S FAMILY. SHE WAS A NURSE. SHE COULDN'T WORK IN CANADA. HIS FATHER HAD A HEART ATTACK IN 2018. THAT WAS A VERY SOBERING MOMENT FOR HIM. THE FACT THAT HE WASN'T ABLE TO BE THERE WITH HIM AS MUCH AS HE WANTED TO AND REALIZED HE WASN'T WITH HIS FAMILY AS MUCH AS HE WANTED TO. SO HE SHOCKED EVERYBODY SIGNING IN COLUMBUS. AND IT WAS THIS MASSIVE DEAL. AND I REMEMBER HAVING CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY. IT WAS IN NOVEMBER OF HIS FIRST SEASON IN COLUMBUS, AND IT WASN'T GOING WELL FOR EITHER HIM OR THE TEAM. THEY WEREN'T PERFORMING WELL. NEITHER WAS HE. AND HE SAID, NO, EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS OUT HERE TO CHASE THE MONEY AND THAT COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. HE TOLD ME, I LOVE IT HERE. MY WIFE MEREDITH LOVES IT HERE. OUR FAMILIES LOVE IT HERE, LOVE IT. WE CAN SEE OUR FAMILIES SO MUCH. AND I WOULDN'T TRADE THAT DECISION FOR THE WORLD. AND I'LL JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT CONVICTION THAT HE HAD. AND AGAIN THAT CONNECTION HE HAD TO THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM AS WHO HE REALLY WAS AS A PERSON. >> AND LIKE KAPLAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING THAT TO US AND SHARING THAT WITH US TODAY. COMING ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING MATTHEW PERRY KETAMINE LEADING AS OVERDOSE DEATH IS IN COURT TODAY. WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM LOS ANGELES. AND THE WEST NILE VIRUS. DEATH TOLL IS MOUNTING. TWO MORE DEATHS IN NEW JERSEY JUST ANNOUNCED AND CAUSING MANY TO BE HOSPITALIZED. WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR WHEN WE COME BACK. >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE. MORE TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST. ABC NEWS NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL OF TELEVISION AND "NIGHTLINE". >> THE STORIES THAT SHAPE YOUR WHAT SHAPE, YOUR LIFE DURING THIS STUNNING, EMPOWERING SHOWDOWN WITH THE MOST POWERFUL STORIES OF OUR TIME. "NIGHTLINE" ON RIGHT AFTER CAMERA AND STREAMING ON WHO FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. >> THERE'S A LOT GOING. WE'RE STILL IN A FLASH FLOOD WARNING TO CATCH YOU UP WITH WHAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT IN RIOT GEAR, ARRESTING DOZENS OF PROTESTERS. WHAT'S HAPPENING? ESCALATING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT, MIGRANT CRISIS FAST, STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH SOME FUN IN BETWEEN. CHECK OUT THE GATOR ON THE 17TH. HOLD A BUZZ KILL AND FACE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. AMERICA THIS MORNING AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. >> ABC NEWS LIVE. O ABC NEWS LI. NEW DEVELOPMENTS TODAY IN THE INVESTIGATION OF MATTHEW PERRY'S DEATH. ONE OF THE DOCTORS CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING THE ACTOR WITH KETAMINE THAT LED TO HIS OVERDOSE IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT TODAY. MARK CHAVEZ REACHED A AGREEMENT WITH PROSECUTORS EARLIER THIS MONTH AND IF HE OFFICIALLY ENTERS THAT GUILTY PLEA, HE WILL BECOME THE THIRD PERSON TO DO SO IN THIS CASE. ABC'S ALEX STONE JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE. YOU'RE THERE AT THE COURTHOUSE. YEAH HE WAS SUPPOSED TO ENTER A PLEA TODAY BUT WE'RE NOW HEARING THAT NOT BE THE CASE. >> WHAT'S THE LATEST HERE? THAT MAY NOT BE. BUT EVEN RIGHT NOW HE IS WALKING INTO THE COURTHOUSE AS I SPEAK, THIS CROWD OF CAMERAMEN WHO ARE RUNNING AROUND. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET AROUND CHAVEZ AS HE IS WALKING IN FOR THIS COURT APPEARANCE. WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE TODAY IS PROBABLY A VERY SHORT COURT HEARING ONLY REALLY SHOWING UP TO SAY THAT HE UNDERSTANDS ACCOUNTS AGAINST ALLEGEDLY SUPPLYING KETAMINE TO ANOTHER DOCTOR, DR. PLACENTIA, DR. SALVADOR PLACENTIA, THEN ALLEGEDLY GAVE IT TO MATTHEW PERRY THAT HE WAS, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, THE SOURCE GETTING IT FROM HIS KETAMINE CLINIC. BUT KNOWING THAT IT WAS GOING TO MATTHEW PERRY, A KNOWN ADDICT TODAY, COULD ENTER HIS GUILTY PLEA. WE KNOW HE HAS AGREED TO A GUILTY AND WILL WORK WITH PROSECUTORS IF THAT WILL COME TODAY. WE DON'T KNOW. MAY JUST SET A DATE FOR LATER ON, BUT HE'LL BE IN COURT IN LITTLE LESS THAN AN HOUR NOW. >> SO THIS PLEA DEAL REQUIRES THAT HE COOPERATES WITH PROSECUTORS IN THIS INVESTIGATION. SO I'M CURIOUS, WHO ELSE ARE THEY TARGETING HERE? >> THEY'RE TARGETING A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEFENDANTS. THERE ARE FIVE IN TOTAL AND THREE HAVE NOW MADE DEALS TO WORK WITH PROSECUTORS, INCLUDING ASSISTANT FOR MATTHEW PERRY. AND THEN A REALLY A STREET LEVEL, MORE LIKE A DRUG DEALER, BUT A MIDDLE MAN WHO WAS ALLEGEDLY IN ALL OF THIS. AND THEY'RE MAKING DEALS TO GET LESS TIME IN PRISON FOR CHAVEZ . HE COULD BE LOOKING AT TEN YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON, MAYBE LESS FOR MAKING THAT DEAL AND WORKING WITH PROSECUTORS. BUT THE THEY'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON IS THAT OTHER DOCTOR, DR. PLACENTIA, ALLEGEDLY ORCHESTRATED ALL OF THIS, OF GETTING HIM THE KETAMINE. HE COULD BE LOOKING AT 120 YEARS IN PRISON. HE THIS POINT IS NOT PLEADING GUILTY AND THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD. HE'S PLEADING NOT GUILTY. AND THEN THE OTHER BEING JASMINE, SAYING HE'S KNOWN AS A KETAMINE QUEEN, LOS ANGELES, SHE IS THE ONE WHO ALLEGEDLY SUPPLIED THE FATAL DOSE OF KETAMINE. AND PROSECUTORS SAY SHE WAS RUNNING A DRUG EMPORIUM OUT OF HER APARTMENT. MATTHEW PERRY ALLEGEDLY WENT TO HER WHEN THE DOCTORS GOT TOO EXPENSIVE. BUT BOTH DR. PLACENTIA AND SINGHA ARE ACCUSED OF BEING THE SUPPLIERS OF THAT KETAMINE . AND ALEX, YOU MENTION THIS DOCTOR CHAVEZ. IF HE ENTERS THIS GUILTY PLEA, HE FACES UP TEN YEARS IN PRISON. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN THESE OTHER CASES? >> WELL WE KNOW DR. PLACENTIA, THE OTHER DOCTOR, AND HAS SAYING THEY ARE DUE IN COURT. THEY HAVE A HEARING, REALLY JUST A CHECK IN NEXT WEEK. THE PROSECUTION WOULD LIKE TO PUT BOTH OF THEIR CASES TOGETHER INTO ONE FOR ONE TRIAL. TECHNICALLY, RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE TRIAL IS SET FOR OCTOBER, BUT THEY DO COMBINE THEM. IT'LL PROBABLY BE SOMETIME NEXT YEAR. THESE OTHERS ARE GOING TO HAVE HEARINGS HERE AND THERE. BUT REALLY, IT COMES DOWN SENTENCING. WE DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE SENTENCING DATES YET. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SET, OR AT LEAST PUBLICLY RELEASED WHAT THOSE DATES ARE GOING TO BE. BUT THEY'LL LEARN THEIR THEIR SENTENCES. >> ALEX STONE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE THERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WELL, HEALTH OFFICIALS REPORTING AT LEAST 18 WEST NILE VIRUS DEATHS, INCLUDING TWO IN WISCONSIN AND ONE IN ILLINOIS. AS MORE CASES, THE MOSQUITO BORNE ILLNESS ARE POPPING UP ACROSS THE U.S. RIGHT NOW. AT LEAST 33 STATES ARE REPORTING WEST NILE ACTIVITY. ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 200 DEATHS FROM WEST NILE ARE TYPICALLY REPORTED EACH YEAR. BUT NOW MANY REGIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE TAKING MAJOR PRECAUTIONS. IN MISSOURI, AN 18-YEAR-OLD BOY IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE ON A VENTILATOR AFTER CONTRACTING THE VIRUS. HIS PARENTS SAY IT STARTED WITH HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS, THEN SPIRALED INTO VOMITING, DISORIENTED AND A HIGH FEVER. LET'S BRING IN ABC NEWS IS ERIELLE RESHEF AND. YOU'VE BEEN COVERING THIS AREA. WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THE NUMBERS FAR AS THESE CASES GO? YEAH, OF COURSE, OFFICIALS ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED HERE, EVEN WE'RE SEEING ABOUT 290 CASES IN MORE THAN 30 STATES, WHICH IS WHAT YOU MENTIONED. AND IT'S NOT REALLY SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHY HERE. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE MAP, THESE CASES ARE SPREAD IN MUCH OF THE COUNTRY. TAKE A LOOK HERE. WE CAN SHOW IT TO YOU. EXPERTS THAT THE DATA IS LAGGING HERE AND WE MAY NOT REALLY HAVE A FULL PICTURE QUITE YET, BUT WE KNOW THAT WE JUST CONFIRMED MOMENTS AGO THAT THERE WERE TWO DEATHS IN NEW JERSEY FROM WEST NILE VIRUS. WE'VE CONFIRMED YESTERDAY TWO DEATHS IN WISCONSIN. SO OFFICIALS ARE KEEPING A VERY CLOSE ON THAT. AND OF COURSE, THEY'RE ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. MORE RARE, POTENTIALLY MORE LETHAL VIRUS CALLED TRIPLE E, WHICH IS BORNE AS WELL. CASES ARE NOW IN ABOUT HALF A DOZEN STATES, MOSTLY CONCENTRATED UP HERE IN THE NORTH EAST. A COUPLE POPPING UP WISCONSIN. WE KNOW THAT ONE PERSON HAS DIED FROM THAT VIRUS. A MAN IN HIS 40 SAID TO HAVE BEEN IN GOOD HEALTH. SO OFFICIALS A VERY CLOSE WATCH ON BOTH OF THESE VIRUSES AT ONCE. NOW, YOU MENTIONED TRIPOLI, WEST NILE VIRUS. HOW CONCERNED SHOULD WE BE? BECAUSE THIS IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE. YEAH, OF COURSE. PEOPLE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. AND RIGHT NOW WE JUST LEARNED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THAT THERE THERE'S A YOUNG MAN IN MISSOURI WHO IS IN HIS TEENS. HE'S 18 YEARS OLD. HE WAS HEALTHY. RECENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HIS PARENTS SAID THAT HE WAS COMPLAINING OF, A VERY HIGH FEVER, DIZZINESS AND REALLY FELT DISORIENTED. AND THEN HIS SYMPTOMS SPIRALED PRETTY QUICKLY OUT OF CONTROL. AND WE SPOKE TO HIS FATHER, WHO TELLS US THAT HE WAS IN AND OF THE E.R. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE FOUND HIS SON ON A VENTILATOR AND UNABLE TO MOVE. AND WE SPOKE TO HIS FATHER LAST NIGHT, WANT TO LISTEN TO HIM? >> IT'S DIFFICULT. MY SON WAS A HEALTHY, ATHLETIC INDIVIDUAL, VERY OUTGOING AND CHARISMATIC. AND TO SEE HIM LETHARGIC AND STRUGGLE TO DO SIMPLE, BASIC, IT'S HARD. THE DOCTORS DESCRIBE THIS AS A MARATHON TO BEAT THIS VIRUS, SINCE THERE'S NO ACTUAL FOR IT. >> YOU GOT TO JUST. YEAH. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THERE THAT THERE IS NO CURE OR VACCINE TO PREVENT WEST NILE OR TRIPLE E AND SO SEVERE CASES AND DEATHS ARE EXTREMELY RARE TO AUTHORITIES, BUT THEY CAN HAPPEN ABOUT ONE IN 150 WEST NILE CASES ARE VERY SEVERE AND ABOUT 30% OF THOSE WHO CONTRACT TRIPLE E MAY HAVE BRAIN SWELLING THAT LEADS TO DEATH. SO THIS IS SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT CONTEXT TO REMEMBER THAT EACH SUMMER AND FALL, WE SEE A RISE IN THESE TYPES, MOSQUITO-BORNE ILLNESSES. SO THIS YEAR IS REALLY NO DIFFERENT IN THAT SENSE. BUT WE TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. EXPERTS ARE SAYING WE'RE SEEING MORE RAINFALL, WE'RE SEEING WARMER TEMPERATURES, AND THAT IS LEADING TO A BIGGER MOSQUITO POPULATION AND A LONGER SEASON. SO PEOPLE REALLY DO NEED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS. BUT AGAIN, NOT AT ANY WORSE POINT THIS YEAR THAN WE WERE LAST YEAR. BUT YOU GOT TO STAY SAFE THIS HOLIDAY AND THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO. SPRAY THE DEET. SURE. THERE'S NO STANDING WATER, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. AND STAY INSIDE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY TONIGHT. YES. THANKS, ERIELLE RESHEF. GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU. COMING UE FROM A COMMUNITY IN CALIFORNIA.

HERE TO DISCUSS THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE IS AMANDA MARTINEZ FROM NIELSEN MEDIA, CHARLENE POLITE CORLEY AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, OUR FRIEND MIKE MUSE. GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. [ APPLAUSE ] GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS. A TOPIC WE TALK ABOUT MORE ON A DAILY BASIS S. BLACKS HAVE BEEN RECORDING, WRITING AND PERFORMING COUNTRY MUSIC SINCE THE 1920s. WHY ARE THEY STILL FIGHTING FOR THEIR RESPECT TODAY? WHY HAVE THEY BEEN OVERLOOKED? >> YOU CAN GO FURTHER BACK THAN THE 1920s. BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC ARTISTS FEEL OTHER IN A GENRE THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING. GO BACK TO THE 17th CENTURY WHEN THE SLAVES CAME OVER HERE FROM THE WEST CONTINENT OF AFRICA, THE CARIBBEAN AND THE SOUTH. THEY BROUGHT THE INSTRUMENT THAT WE KNOW AS THE BANJO AND WERE CREATINGRY RHYTHMS OF FIELD MU. THAT LEADS US TO THE MINSTREL SHOW AND THEY BROUGHT THE BANJO TO MIMIC THE ENSLAVED AFRICANS AND THE FIELD MUSIC. THEN THE BANJO BECAME POPULARIZED AND YOU SAW THE GENRE CALLED HILLBILLY MUSIC WHICH WAS THE ORIGIN OF BANJO AND FIELD MUSIC. IT CREATED THE ERASING. THE LEAD BANJO ARTIST ON BEYONCE'S ALBUM RHIANNON GIDDENS IS KEEPING THAT HISTORY ALIVE. >> Eva: CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH THE CHALLENGES THAT SOME BLACK BANJO MUSICIANS HISTORICALLY FACED. >> I'LL ECHO HOW THE ROOTS OF COUNTRY MUSIC, IT'S A SHARED MULTI-RACIAL CULTURE. IN THE 1920s WHEN COUNTRY MUSIC FIRST BECOMES COMMERCIALIZED, IT'S CREATED AS A MARKETING CATEGORY AND IT WAS FIRST CALLED HILLBILLY AND OLD TIME MUSIC AND EVOLVED INTO COUNTRY MUSIC. THAT WAS THE ERA OF JIM CROW SEGREGATION. WHEN THE MUSIC WAS COMMERCIALIZED IT WAS DONE SO VERY CONSCIOUSLY ALONG LINES OF RACE. THERE WAS AN IDEA THAT YOU HAD THIS TYPE OF MUSIC FOR A WHITE CONSUMER, COUNTRY MUSIC WE CALL TODAY, AND ON THE FLIP SIDE YOU HAD RACE RECORDS. COUNTRY MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN MARKETED WITH ONLY A WHITE CONSUMER IN MIND. I THINK THAT WHEN PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC INDUSTRY LOOK AT A BLACK ARTIST, THEY HAVE THIS REALLY THIS MYTH, THIS IDEA IN THEIR HEAD THAT THE WHITE CONSUMERS DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO OR ACCEPT A BLACK ARTIST. >> Demarco: CHARLENE, THERE'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT WHEN IT COMES TO BLACK LISTENERS. WHAT ARE THE NEW TRENDS AND IS BEYONCE CREDITED FOR IT? >> WE HAVE TO CREDIT BEYONCE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF IT. THE RESURGENCE OF THIS CONVERSATION FOR SURE. SOME OF THE RESEARCH JUMPING OFF THE EXPERTS HERE, THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY A PATTERN WE'VE SEEN A FEW TIMES WHERE WE MARKET WITH A PARTICULAR CONSUMER IN MIND. RECENT RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ABOUT 51% OF WHITE GEN-Z AMERICANS SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW A BLACK CREATOR. THINGS THAT COME FROM OUR CULTURE AND CENTERED WITH OUR STORIES DON'T JUST BRING BLACK AUDIENCES ALONG. THEY BRING ALONG EVERYONE. IT'S THE PATTERN WE'VE SEEN WITH POST "COWBOY CARTER" DROPPING. WE SAW THE ENGAGEMENT OF YOUNG BLACK LISTENERS INCREASE 40% YEAR OVER YEAR AND WE SEE THAT RISE EVERY MONTH SINCE THE ALBUM CAME OUT. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT BEYONCE AND "COWBOY CARTER." WHAT'S MOST EXCITING FOR ME IS FOLKS ARE FINDING THINGS THEY LOVE AND ENJOY AND EXPRESSING I HAVE ROOTS TO THIS MUSIC. >> Demarco: WITH THE EMERGENCE OF MORE BLACK COUNTRY ARTISTS, DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE MORE DIVERSITY IN THE GENRE, MORE ACCEPTED? >> I HOPE SO. CHARLENE BROUGHT UP BLACK FANS ON TIKTOK, BLACK ARTISTS, MORE MEMBERS OF THE INDUSTRY THAT ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR WITHIN COUNTRY MUSIC. I THINK THERE ARE HOPEFUL THINGS, THINGS LIKE -- THERE WAS A BLACK FAN OF COUNTRY MUSIC NAMED HOLLY G. THAT STARTED THE BLACK OPRY IN 2021 THAT'S GROWN TO -- SHE JUST LAUNCHED BLACK OPRY RECORDS. THERE'S HOPE FOR THINGS TO CHANGE FROM BLACK CREATORS WITHIN COUNTRY MUSIC. WE'RE SEEING THEM REALLY TAKE THEIR AGENCY TO NEW LEVELS IN THIS MOMENT. >> CAN I ADD THAT I THINK THE BARRIERS HAVE COME DOWN FOR THE AUDIENCE TOO. PEOPLE HAVE EASY ACCESS BETWEEN STREAMING AND RADIO TO ENGAGE AND EXPLORE RHIANNON GIDDENS TO THE NEW ARTISTS WE'RE SEEING, THE RAYNA ROBERTS. THEY CAN TAP INTO THE SOURCES. THEY DON'T NEED A GATE KEEPER. THAT'S EXCITING. >> Eva: MIKE, WE HAVE TO TALK MORE ABOUT BEYONCE. IT'S NOT ALL BEYONCE, BUT -- >> Demarco: SHE LOOKS IN MY DIRECTION. >> Eva: BEYONCE REALLY DID GIVE PEOPLE A CRASH COURSE OF WHO BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC ARTISTS ARE NOW. SHE BROUGHT THESE OTHER ARTISTS ON TO THIS ALBUM TO GIVE THEM A MOMENT TO SHINE. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT SHIFTS THE CONVERSATION HERE? >> SHE'S UPLIFTING SO MANY OTHER BLACK COUNTRY ARTISTS WHO MAY NOT HAVE THAT NAME RECOGNITION OR NAME PRESENCE. SHE INCLUDED TANNER ADELE, RAYNA ROBERTS, WILLIE JONES AND RHIANNON GIDDENS. I WANT TO LEAN IN TO LINDA M MARTEL, IF NOT FOR JIM CROW, LINDA MARTEL WOULD BE THE BEYONCE OF COUNTRY MUSIC. SHE CALLED ONE OF THE SONGS ON "COWBOY CARTER" THE LINDA MARTEL SHOW. SHE SAID GENRES ARE A FUNNY CONCEPT. IT GOES TO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHY BLACKS ARE STREAMERS OF COUNTRY MUSIC. IT'S A GENRE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. IT'S BLUES, R&B, GOSPEL AND STORY TELLING. IT'S ALL ROOTED IN THE BLACK HISTORY OF MUSIC AND PERFORMANCE. IT'S WHY WE'RE DRAWN TO IT AND WHY A.I. TECHNOLOGY SAYS IF YOU LIKE THIS SONG, WE'LL SUGGEST THIS TO YOU. >> Eva: THANKS TO MIKE, CHARLENE AND AMANDA. >>> COMING UP, DON LOUIS PERFORMS HIS NEW SONG "LONG TIME COMIN'". >> Demarco: DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

THESE CONGRESSMEN, THEY LOOK AT THIS, YOU'RE SHAKING THEIR HEAD. THEY CAN'T BELIEVE IT THEY CAN'T BELIEVE TWO THINGS. ACTUALLY, THE SIZE OF CROWDS. >> YOU KNOW, YOU COULD FILL THIS PLACE UP THREE TIMES. WHY DIDN'T YOU GET A LARGER ARENA? WHY SOMEBODY SAID, LET'S YOU RIDING BY. OH, IT'S TOO BAD THE ARENA HASN'T STARTED FILLING UP. I SAID, NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. IT'S TOTALLY FULL. BUT THE GOES BACK FOUR MILES. IT'S ALREADY FULL. BUT WE GOT TO DO THAT. COLLINS YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO DO IT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR A LONG I SAID, THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN FROM AND JAILS. NOBODY LISTENED TO ME. THEY'RE MURDERERS THEY'RE DRUG DEALERS. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT VENEZUELA AS AN THE CRIME IS DOWN 72% BECAUSE THEY'VE THEIR CRIMINALS FROM CARACAS, THEY'VE TAKEN THEIR DRUG DEALERS. THEY'RE EMPTYING THEIR PRISONS INTO OUR THE CRIME IS DOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD. CRIME IS DOWN IN THE CONGO IN AFRICA, 22 PEOPLE DEPOSITED INTO OUR COUNTRY WHERE YOU COME FROM, THE CONGO. WE'RE IN THE CONGO JAIL. WHAT DID YOU DO? WE WILL NOT SAY THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE. LISTEN, THEY COME FROM AFRICA. THEY COME FROM THE MIDDLE EAST. COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT FRIENDS OF OURS. AND THEY'RE COMING BY THE MILLIONS, BY THE MILLIONS. >> AND THESE FOOLS, KAMALA IS A MARXIST. THESE ARE LETTING THEM COME INTO OUR COUNTRY, DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, DID YOU EVER SEE THAT? I DON'T WANT TO BRAG, BUT THEY DO HAVE A BIG SELLING HAT. YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAYS? TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING, RIGHT FRONT ROW, JOE, FRONT ROW, JOE RIGHT NOW. BUT IT'S A LOOK, IF I RAN ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES, I WOULD BE DOING BETTER THAN THEM AT GETTING THE PEOPLE OUT. YOU RUN A COUNTRY, THE COUNTRIES INUNDATED WITH REALLY TOUGH PEOPLE THAT ARE CRIMINALS I WANT TO GET THEM THE HELL OUT. IF I WAS THE HEAD OF A COUNTRY THE PRESIDENT OF A COUNTRY, IF I WAS IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE COUNTRY, I WOULD HAVE MOVED THEM OUT EVEN FASTER THAN THEY ARE DOING. THEY ARE MOVING PEOPLE INTO OUR COUNTRY AT NUMBERS THAT NOBODY'S EVER SEEN. AND THOSE COUNTRIES ARE BECOMING SAFE COUNTRIES. AND WHERE DO YOU SEE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST GETTING ACCLIMATED. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? ACCLIMATED. THEY'RE GETTING USED TO A SOCIETY THAT REALLY GOES TOO FAR. AND THE ONLY THING THEY GO AFTER IS GUYS LIKE TRUMP BECAUSE HE PROTESTS ELECTION. THAT'S THE ONLY THING THEY'RE GOOD AT GOING AFTER. THEY DON'T GO AFTER CRIMINALS, THEY DON'T GO AFTER PEOPLE. THEY KILL PEOPLE. THEY DON'T GO AFTER DRUG DEALERS THAT KILL ON AVERAGE 500 PEOPLE DURING THEIR LIFETIME. SO A DRUG DEALER KILLS 500 PEOPLE AND THE ONLY THING THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND WOULD BE THE DEATH PENALTY. IF YOU HAD THE DEATH PENALTY FOR DRUG DEALERS, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY MORE DRUGS. >> YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY MORE. INSTEAD, WE FORM RIBBON COMMITTEES MADE UP OF OUR GREAT FIRST LADY, HAD LOTS OF PEOPLE LIKE STEVE METCALF, GREAT DEVELOPER IN NEW YORK, BUT THEY DON'T DO THIS FOR A LIVING. THE ONLY THING UNDERSTAND, I WENT TO CHINA. I SAW A PRESIDENT. SHE HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP UNTIL COVID CAME IN. THEN I BROKE IT OFF. IT WAS THAT WAS TOO MUCH. BUT I SAID TO HIM AND I HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AND I WILL AGAIN PROBABLY. BUT I SAID, DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM? 1.4 BILLION PEOPLE? NO, NO, NO. WE HAVE NO DRUG PROBLEM. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM? BECAUSE WE HAVE THE DEATH PENALTY, HE SAID FOR A DRUG DEAL, IF THEY SELL DRUGS, THEY DIE. HE SAID. SO THOSE PEOPLE THAT SELL DRUGS, THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, LET'S GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. >> THIS IS LITTLE BETTER. BUT THEY DO IN MANY OTHER COUNTRIES, IN COUNTRIES WHERE YOU HAVE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM. AND WE ARE BECOMING A DRUG INFESTED NATION, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. WE'RE BECOMING A DRUG INFESTED . >> SO WE BETTER GET OUR ACT TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, YEARS AGO, CENTURIES AGO, CHINA WAS TAKEN OVER NUMEROUS BY SMALLER NATIONS, MUCH SMALLER NATION, BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL DRUGGED OUT FROM THE OPIUM FIELDS AND ALL OF THAT. >> AND THEN ONE OF THEIR VERY POWERFUL LEADERS SAID NO MORE, AND THEY ENDED IT. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO END IT, TOO, BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY A COUNTRY THAT IS A WE'RE FAILING NATION IN A LOT OF WAYS, WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO OUR COUNTRY IS WHAT IS KAMALA, WHO'S A TOTAL LIGHTWEIGHT? >> YOU SEE HER ON TELEVISION LAST NIGHT. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE PRESIDENT. THIS IS GOING TO THE PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY. I DON'T THINK SO. SITTING PROPPED UP AT A DESK WITH THIS GUY. THIS IS TAMPON TIM, TAMPON. AND THAT'S THE FIRST INTERVIEW SHE'S DONE IN LIKE NOBODY'S, EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. AND IF YOU'RE TOO WEAK TO DO ONE ON ONE INTERVIEW WITH A PERSON THAT WAS SO SOFT YOU KNOW I KNOW DANA, SHE'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, ALWAYS NASTY. SHE WAS SO NICE TO THE DEMOCRATS. IT'S MUCH EASIER TO BE A DEMOCRAT, BUT WE DON'T AGREE WITH THEIR POLICIES BECAUSE THEIR POLICIES WILL DESTROY OUR NATION. SO WE CAN'T DO THAT. WE CAN'T DO THAT. BUT IT WAS A VERY WEAK INTERVIEW FROM THE STANDPOINT OF CNN. >> I THINK CNN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES, IF THAT WERE ME OUT THERE. >> SURE. I HEARD. WANT THE DEATH PENALTY FOR DRUG DEALERS. WHY? WELL, KNOW. >> I'D LIKE TO END THE DRUG EPIDEMIC, IF THAT'S OKAY. REMEMBER AND I SAID IT, EVERY DRUG DEALER AVERAGE KILLS 500 PEOPLE. THAT'S NOT MENTIONING ALL OF THE FAMILIES THAT ARE DESTROYED FOREVER AND DESTROYED. AND WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE ARE BECOMING AND WE ARE A DRUG INFESTED NATION. >> WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. AND IF YOU DID THAT MEANINGFUL EARLY, YOU WILL IN ONE WEEK STOP THE DRUG PROBLEM. NOBODY'S GOING TO BE SELLING DRUGS. NOBODY. I DON'T KNOW IF THE COUNTRY IS READY FOR IT, BUT THEY SHOULD KNOW WE LOST. THEY GIVE YOU FAKE NUMBERS. THE REAL NUMBERS WE LOST PROBABLY 350,000 PEOPLE LAST YEAR TO DRUGS, TO FENTANYL AND OTHER DRUGS. I HAD TO DEAL WITH PRESIDENT XI, WHO WAS GOING TO PUT THAT ON THE ON THERE ULTIMATE CRIME LIST. THAT'S WHERE THEY GIVE THE DEATH PENALTY IF THEY IT IN CHINA, THEY SELL IT HERE. HE'S GOING TO GIVE THE DEATH PENALTY. WHEN WE HAD A ELECTION. WHAT HAPPENED IS WHEN I LEFT, THEY NEVER IT UP BIDEN NEVER PICKED IT UP. SO THEY NEVER DID IT. BUT THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE THE DEATH, WHICH IS THEIR ULTIMATE ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT. YOU CAN'T GET TOO MUCH MORE ULTIMATE THAN THAT. THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE THE DEATH PENALTY TO THE FENTANYL MAKERS IN, CHINA, IF THEY MAKE IT AND SELL IT IN. AND THEY WERE GOING TO DO IT BECAUSE KNOW OTHERWISE WE WEREN'T GOING TO DO TRADE LITTLE THINGS LIKE WE WON'T TRADE WITH ANYMORE, WE WON'T PAY YOU BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ANYMORE. SO EASY. SO BUT PEOPLE LIKE KAMALA, SHE LET SAN FRANCISCO DIE. >> SHE DESTROYED PROBABLY GREATEST CITY, MAYBE ONE OF THE GREATEST CITIES, BUT COULD BE A FRIEND OF MINE, BOB CASEY USED TO SAY YEARS AGO, HE SAID SAN FRANCISCO'S THE GREATEST CITY IN AMERICA. THAT WAS PROBABLY 16. SAID HE PASSED AWAY. GREAT GUY. HE PASSED AWAY. BUT HE USED TO TALK ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO ALL THE TIME. TODAY YOU CAN'T WALK INTO SAN FRANCISCO. SHE DESTROYED IT. SHE JUST ROSE. SHE'S THE ONE THAT STARTED IT, TOO. SHE WAS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. THEN SHE DESTROYED CALIFORNIA, ALONG WITH NEWSOM. YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF THE TRULY BAD GOVERNORS. BUT THE FAKE NEWS IS DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP. KAMALA HARRIS. DO YOU EVER NOTICE NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HER LAST NAME I GO, OKAY, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE FIRST NAME. TELL ME THE NAME. >> I SAY, KAMALA, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE HELL SHE IS. BUT AS THEY FIND OUT, YOU NOTICED OUR POLL NUMBERS ARE STARTING TO SKYROCKET. WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT SHE'S A MARXIST, WHEN THEY FIND OUT HER FATHER KNOW IS A MARXIST PROFESSOR, YOU KNOW THAT WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT SHE WAS THE ONE THAT DESTROYED CALIFORNIA AND SAN A LONG TIME AGO, YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS. LOOK, WE HAVE TO PUT OUR COUNTRY BACK INTO SHAPE. SOMEBODY SAID WOMEN DON'T LIKE DONALD TRUMP. I SAID, I THINK THAT'S WRONG. I THEY LOVED ME. >> I WAS GOING, I LOVE THEM. SPEAKING OF THEM, NORTH CAROLINA, THESE WOMEN THIS IS NUMBER 227 RALLY AND THEY'VE BEEN SOME OTHER THAN RALLIES, 200. >> OKAY. YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AT A CAMPAIGN EVENT IN JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA A KEY TOWN IN A KEY STATE. WE WANT TO COME ON THE AIR HERE WITH QUICK FACT CHECK AND WE'RE GOING TO BRING IN OUR SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, TERRY MORAN, WHO IS THERE. BUT FIRST, THE FACT CHECK. VERY QUICKLY, JUST A FEW THINGS THAT STOOD OUT TO US. FIRST, TRUMP CALLED FOR A ONE YEAR JAIL SENTENCE FOR ANYONE CONVICTED OF BURNING AN AMERICAN FLAG. THE AMERICAN BURNING THE AMERICAN FLAG IS CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED FREE SPEECH. THE COURT HAS DETERMINED IN A CASE FROM THE 80S, TEXAS V JOHNSON. IN FACT, ANTONIN SCALIA, WHO WAS A POPULAR CONSERVATIVE ,WAS THE DECIDING VOTE IN THAT CASE, WHO BELIEVED THAT IT WAS CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED FREE SPEECH TO BURN AN AMERICAN FLAG ONWARDS FOR US. TRUMP REPEATED CLAIMS THAT OTHER COUNTRIES ARE ANTHONY EMPTYING THEIR PRISONS INTO THE UNITED STATES. HE HAS DONE THAT BEFORE. HE CITED ONE EXAMPLE THAT HE OFTEN CITES, SAYING THAT THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, THE CONGO, WAS DOING THIS. A FACT CHECK ON THAT CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION HAVE ENCOUNTERED 2000 OR SO CONGOLESE MIGRANTS. BUT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE ANY OF THEM CAME FROM PRISON. HE REFERENCED A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES, JUST A FACT CHECK THERE TO KIND OF SHOW YOU THE GENESIS OF WHAT HE'S SAYING. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE WAS CHARGED WITH PROTEST IN AN ELECTION. WE ASSUME HE'S REFERRING THERE TO THE CHARGES FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH. JACK SMITH HAS NOT CHARGED DONALD TRUMP WITH PROTESTING THE ELECTION, CHARGED DONALD TRUMP WITH TAKING SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO ALLEGEDLY TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS OF THE 2020 ELECTION. THAT, FOR INSTANCE, LEANING ON ELECTED OFFICIALS ALLEGEDLY IN LINING UP THINGS LIKE ELECTORS ARE TO TO CONTEST THE RESULTS OF ELECTION. AGAIN, DONALD TRUMP, THAT CASE IS STILL PLAYING OUT. HE WILL PRESUMABLY HAVE HIS DAY IN COURT ON THAT CASE. AND ONE MORE THING. HE ALSO SOMETHING THAT HE REPEATEDLY SAYS, WHICH IS HE ALLEGES THAT UNDOCUMENTED, WHEN THEY COME INTO THIS COUNTRY, ARE COMMITTING CRIME IN SOME CASES, AS HE ALLEGES, AT A HIGHER RATE. THAT'S NOT TRUE. UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ACTUALLY, ACCORDING TO VARIOUS STUDIES, COMMIT CRIMES AT A LESSER RATE THAN U.S. CITIZENS. AND IN FACT, THERE'S A STUDY FROM 2020 THAT FOUND THAT US CITIZENS ARE OVER EIGHT, I'LL QUOTE DIRECTLY HERE, TWO TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE FOR THINGS LIKE VIOLENT CRIMES VERSUS UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. AGAIN, A NUMBER OF THINGS THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAID, BUT THOSE ARE JUST A FEW FACT CHECKS FOR YOU. I DO WANT TO BRING IN OUR SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, TERRY MORAN, WHO WAS THERE AT THAT PENNSYLVANIA RALLY. AND, TERRY, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE GOAL OF THIS RALLY. TRUMP IS IN A HEAVILY REPUBLICAN AREA OF A VERSION OF A PART OF THAT STATE. HE'S OUTSIDE OF PITTSBURGH. HE'S IN A STEEL TOWN, GOT PEOPLE WITH HARD HATS SITTING THERE BEHIND HIM. TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS APPEAL THAT TRUMP IS TRYING TO MAKE TO THESE RURAL VOTERS, TRYING TO RUN UP THE MARGINS THERE. >> BROSELEY, INDIANA. THERE'S NO QUESTION THIS IS A SWING STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. THIS IS TRUMP HEARTLAND. THIS PART OF PENNSYLVANIA AND ASTROTURF WORKERS. >> RIGHT. THE WHOLE ESSENCE OF TRUMP'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND REALLY ECONOMICALLY ON HIS NOTION THAT AMERICA SHOULD MAKE THINGS THE MANUFACTURE IN THIS PART OF AMERICA. OBVIOUSLY, WITH THE STEEL MILLS, WHICH LEFT 40 YEARS AGO, THEY'RE GOING TO BRING THAT BACK ENTIRELY. BUT HE THINKS THAT OFFSHORING OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURING, WHICH WAS ACCOMPLISHED CERTAINLY BY INVESTORS OVER THE COURSE OF MANY DECADES, WAS A MISTAKE THAT RESONATES HERE. BUT FRACKING IS A BIG, BIG INDUSTRY NOW HERE. IT IS A BOOM INDUSTRY, OF COURSE, AND THAT'S POINT OF DIFFERENCE. HE CAN UNDERLINE FOR THESE WORKERS. WELL, AS HE HAS AND HE WILL. AND HE BELIEVES THAT MAKE AMERICA GREAT GET AMERICA BACK TO WORK IN THOSE INDUSTRIAL ERA INDUSTRIES THAT HE BELIEVES SHOULD BE ONSHORE, TAKING BACK, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE PANDEMIC WAS A KEY PART OF HIS APPEAL HERE THIS ELECTION. >> TERRY, MANY WAYS IS GOING TO BE FOUGHT ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FRONTS, BUT ONE OF THEM IS THIS FEELING ABOUT THE ECONOMY, BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS OF ECONOMY, INFLATION IS COOLING. JOBLESSNESS NUMBERS ARE RELATIVELY LOW AND THE JOB NUMBERS APPEAR STRONG. BUT THERE IS A FEELING IN SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT THOSE NUMBERS THAT THEY SEE THAT THE STOCK MARKET, FOR EXAMPLE, DOESN'T NECESSARILY AFFECT THEM. AND IN FACT, THERE'S NUMBERS THAT BACK THAT UP IN CAMBRIA COUNTY, WHERE DONALD TRUMP IS SPEAKING RIGHT NOW. >> SINCE 2019, A NEW YORK TIMES FOUND AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS INTERESTING THAT ACTUALLY 6% FEWER JOBS FROM 2019 TO 2023. SO WHILE YOU HEAR ABOUT THESE JOB GAINS AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THEY ARE VERY MUCH REAL, THEY DON'T HIT EVERY SINGLE COUNTY IN THIS COUNTRY EQUALLY, DO YOU THINK THAT THAT WORKS IN DONALD TRUMP'S FAVOR? SOME OF THESE COUNTIES FEELING LEFT BEHIND. AND NO QUESTION, THAT'S HIS APPEAL. THAT'S WHY COMES TO PLACES LIKE JOHNSTOWN, WHICH ISN'T OFTEN VISITED BY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN PREVIOUS ELECTIONS, IS BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE AMERICA GOT LEFT BEHIND, WHERE PEOPLE, WHEN THEY OFFSHORED THE STEEL INDUSTRY AND OTHER MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES AND EVEN DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. RIGHT. THOSE INFLATION NUMBERS, THOSE JOBS NUMBERS, IT'S NOT EVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN A PLACE LIKE THIS. THEY HAVE LOST JOBS. AND FOR A LOT OF FAMILIES IN THE MIDDLE, LOWER MIDDLE, WORKING CLASS FAMILIES, THAT INFLATION WAS JUST KILLING, AS I REMEMBER, THE INFLATION MUCH HIGHER FROM 1970S. LIVING WITH INFLATION IN YOUR FAMILY IS DEMORALIZING EXPERIENCE AND SOMETIMES WINDING DOWN OF THE SPIRIT OF POSSIBILITY. AND THAT HERE YOU CAN SENSE THAT AS WELL. >> WE TALK TO PEOPLE THAT THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE. SO HE SAID, LOOK, THESE PEOPLE HAVE A DECENT LIVING ON 40,000 A YEAR. I CAN'T EVEN SELL AND GET BY HERE. AND THAT IS A CLARION THAT TRUMP IS MAKING TO PEOPLE, THAT HE CAN TURN THAT AROUND. CANDY, I DON'T KNOW. BUT THEY CERTAINLY BLAME THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. WHAT THOSE UNFAVORABLE NUMBERS ON THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY ARE REALLY KILLING OUR CHILD. AND TERRY, ONE MORE THING. IF DON'T MIND. I WANT TO DRILL DOWN ON THIS IDEA OF PENSILVA AND SOME OF THESE REPUBLICAN HEAVY COUNTIES, BECAUSE THE TRUMP STRATEGY IS TO RUN UP THE VOTE TOTALS IN PLACES LIKE WHERE HE IS NOW IN JOHNSTOWN WHICH, YOU KNOW, CAN BE A SWING-ISH CITY, BUT IT'S IN A COUNTY THAT'S HEAVILY REPUBLICAN AND IT'S SURROUNDED BY COUNTIES THAT ARE HEAVILY REPUBLICAN. KAMALA HARRIS IS TRYING TO PENETRATE THAT. HER CAMPAIGN IS TRYING TO APPEAL TO RURAL DEMOCRATS TO TRY TO OFFSET ANY GAINS TRUMP WOULD MAKE IN THOSE RURAL REPUBLICAN HEAVY COUNTIES. DO YOU SEE THAT AS BEING FROM WHAT YOU'VE SEEN ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, COULD TIM WALZ, FOR INSTANCE, WHO'S GOT RURAL ROOTS HIMSELF, PENETRATE IN SOME OF THOSE RURAL COUNTIES IN A PLACE LIKE PENNSYLVANIA, OR IS IT JUST TOO STRONG OF A TRUMP COUNTRY? YEAH, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. I THINK THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT TIM WALZ IS GOING TO COME TO COUNTIES LIKE THIS ACROSS COUNTRY, CERTAINLY ALL THOSE SWING STATES. AND THERE'S A REASON WHY, BECAUSE THERE ARE VOTES THERE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO WIN THE COUNTY. >> BUT JUST WALKING AWAY FROM DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO STAY HOME. SAME WITH TRUMP IN CITIES, THE COALITIONS ARE NOT AS FIXED AS, IT SEEMS. >> RIGHT. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT SOME HISPANIC VOTERS HAVE COME TO TRUMP. >> SOME BLACK VOTERS HAVE COME TO TRUMP. YOUNG BLACK MEN, THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE, YOUNG MEN IN PARTICULAR . AND IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THE CAN PLAY, THEY CAN PLAY IN RURAL COUNTIES, CAN PLAY IN COUNTIES THAT THEY'VE GIVEN UP ON. IT MIXES UP THE BOARD A LITTLE IN A VERY HEALTHY WAY. RIGHT. YOU HAVE TO EXPAND YOUR MESSAGE . WE'RE SEEING TRUMP DOING IT AND WE'RE SEEING THE HARRIS WALLS CAMPAIGN DOING THIS GROWING. TERRY, FORGIVE ME, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF BREAKING NEWS, BUT I JUST WANT TO GET IN HERE, WHICH IS THAT BEFORE HE TOOK THAT STAGE BEHIND YOU, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP DID AN INTERVIEW WITH FOX NEWS AND HE GAVE HIS CLEAREST ANSWER YET ON HOW HE WOULD VOTE ON HIS HOME STATE BALLOT MEASURE THAT WOULD ENSHRINE ABORTION RIGHTS INTO THAT STATE CONSTITUTION AND ESSENTIALLY REPEAL A CURRENT FLORIDA STATE LAW THAT BANS AFTER SIX WEEKS, WHICH IS BEFORE MOST WOMEN KNOW THAT THEY ARE PREGNANT. HERE IS WHAT TRUMP SAID ABOUT THAT. AND IT'S KIND OF ILLUSTRATIVE AS TO HIS THOUGHTS ON THE ABORTION ISSUE IN GENERAL. AND REMEMBER, TRUMP HAS BRAGGED ABOUT APPOINTING THREE SUPPORT FOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES THAT WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN OVERTURNING ROE. HE ABOUT HOW HE WOULD VOTE. QUOTE, HE SAID, FIRST HE WOULD BE VOTING NO. AND THEN HE SAID, I THINK SIX WEEKS, WHICH IS THE STATE LAW IN FLORIDA, YOU NEED MORE TIME IN SIX WEEKS. I'VE DISAGREED WITH THAT FROM. THE EARLY PRIMARIES WHEN I HEARD ABOUT IT. I DISAGREE WITH IT AT. THE SAME TIME, AGAIN, I'M QUOTING FROM TRUMP HERE, THE DEMOCRATS ARE RADICAL. SO I'LL BE VOTING NO FOR THAT REASON. SO HE SEEMS TO TRY TO KIND OF SPLIT ISSUE HERE AND SAY THAT HE DOESN'T AGREE WITH THE SIX WEEK BAN, BUT HE'S ALSO GOING TO VOTE NO ON THE BALLOT MEASURE THAT WOULD OVERTURN SIX WEEK BAN. >> HOW IS THIS GOING TO PLAY, IN YOUR VIEW, WITH SUBURBAN WOMEN VOTERS, PARTICULARLY THERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, THAT TRUMP HAS GOT TO MAKE INROADS WITH? >> IF HE WANTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL? WE HAVE TO. WELL, THERE'S NO QUESTION, JAKE, THAT THE REASON HE IS SAYING THESE THINGS THAT AND ALSO THE FACT THAT HE NOW WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR IVF TREATMENTS, WHICH CATHOLIC, SOUTHERN BAPTIST, A LOT OF PRO-LIFE, ANTI-ABORTION RIGHTS, PEOPLE BELIEVE IS THE EQUIVALENT OF ABORTION, BECAUSE THERE MANY EMBRYOS THAT GET DISCARDED. AND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION THAT IS AN IMMORAL THING TO DO. >> TRUMP WANTS NO PART OF THAT BECAUSE HE SEES THE MAINSTREAM WHAT'S HAPPENING AFTER THE STRIKING DOWN OF ROE VERSUS WADE IS THAT BOTH PARTIES THAT THAT THEIR EXTREMES TO START WITH THE COUNTRY IS THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS IT VERSUS THIS WHOLE SHOT FOR DECADES THAT THEY SUPPORTED JUST BY 2 TO 1 MEASURES AND THE POLITICIANS ARE FOLLOWING THEIR GROPING FOR THE CENTER, TRYING TO GET TO THE CENTER BECAUSE THEY KNOW BEING OUTSIDE THAT CENTER AS THE PAST SEVERAL SPECIAL ELECTIONS IN 2022 DEMONSTRATED, THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS TO BE BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK SHE SHE KNOWS. TERRY MORAN LIVE FROM THAT TRUMP EVENT IN JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA. TERRY, THANK. AS YOU CAN SEE, DONALD TRUMP IS STILL ON THAT STAGE. BRING YOU MORE HEADLINES FROM THAT AS THEY DEVELOP. WE'RE GOING TO SQUEEZE IN A QUICK BREAK AND THERE WILL BE MORE ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> WE'RE RIGHT BACK. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE 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 MISSILE STRIKE.

THEY BOTH WANT TO BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. NOW, FORMER KAMALA HARRIS. DONALD TRUMP. WE WILL SOON A GREAT NATION AGAIN FACE TO FACE.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> HULU AND DISNEY PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> WELCOME BACK. WE'RE LEARNING MORE TONIGHT ABOUT A TRAGIC INCIDENT IN NEW JERSEY. HOCKEY STAR JOHNNY GAUDREAU, ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE AND THE NHL, IS NOW DEAD AFTER HE WAS HIT BY AN ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY LAST NIGHT. THE SUSPECT MAKING AN APPEARANCE IN COURT TODAY. >> ABC'S MORGAN NORWOOD HAS THAT STORY FOR US. HI, JAY. JUST A HORRIFIC INCIDENT THAT'S SENDING SHOCKWAVES THROUGHOUT THE SPORTS. I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS FORWARD. JOHNNY GOODROW KILLED AS HE WAS BIKING WITH HIS YOUNGER BROTHER MATTHEW IN THEIR HOMETOWN, SALEM COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. YOU KNOW WHAT'S SO HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE BROTHERS ACTUALLY IN TOWN FOR THEIR SISTER'S WEDDING FOR TODAY. AND THEY WERE BOTH GROOMSMEN. NOW, HERE'S THE TICK TOCK OF ALL OF THIS, THE TIMELINE. POLICE SAY THE DRIVER IDENTIFIED AS SHAWN HIGGINS, PLOWED HIS JEEP INTO THE TWO WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER SUV AND THEN TOOK OFF FROM THE SCENE. AUTHORITIES DO BELIEVE DRIVER HIGGINS WAS DRUNK UNDER THE INFLUENCE, EVEN ALLEGEDLY TELLING COPS THE SCENE THAT HE HAD 5 TO 6 BEERS. HIGGINS IS NOW CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF DEATH BY AUTO. AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS LOSS JUST UNFATHOMABLE. YOU KNOW, GOODROW WAS CELEBRATED. HE WAS CELEBRATED FOR AND HIS TEAM, THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS, JUST HEARTBROKEN, RELEASING THIS STATEMENT SAYING, QUOTE, JOHNNY PLAYED THE GAME WITH GREAT JOY, WHICH WAS FELT BY EVERYONE THAT SAW HIM ON THE ICE. WE'RE ALSO HEARING BOSTON COLLEGE WHERE HE AND HIS BROTHER WERE STANDOUT PLAYERS. I MEAN, GOODROW LEADING THE EAGLES TO A NATIONAL TITLE AND THEN GOING ON TO WIN THE HOPE BAKER AWARD AS THE NATION'S BEST COLLEGIATE PLAYER. HIS BROTHER AGAIN, ALSO PLAYING AT B.C.. HERE'S A REACTION TO THE TRAGEDIES FROM B.C. COACH GREG BROWN, WHO WAS AN ASSISTANT WHEN THE GOOD ROSE PLAYED. HE BROUGHT A TON OF JOY TO THE RING. YOU'RE HAPPY? TRULY HAPPY TO BE THERE. BIG SMILES ALL THE TIME. THE THINGS THAT YOU DO ON THE ICE NOW THAT PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THEM REMEMBER BECAUSE, THEY WERE ALL MAGICAL IN THEIR OWN WAYS. BUT EVERYONE JUST LOVED HAVING THEM ON THE TEAM. THEY WERE TREMENDOUS. AND AGAIN, THIS IS STILL VERY MUCH UNDER INVESTIGATION. HIGGINS IS BEHIND BARS RIGHT NOW. HIS NEXT COURT APPEARANCE IS SET FOR SEPTEMBER 5TH. >> JAKE MORGAN NORWOOD FOR US. MORGAN, THANK YOU. TURNING NOW TO TRAGIC DEATH AND A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE INVESTIGATION OF FRENCH STAR MATTHEW PERRY'S FATAL OVERDOSE.

ALEX THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AS ALWAYS, MY FRIEND. BRING US UP TO SPEED AS TO WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE THAT HEARING JUST MOMENTS AGO. >> HEY, JAY. WELL, THE COURT HEARING WRAPPING UP A MOMENT AGO INSIDE THE COURT. DR. CHAVEZ APPEARED NERVOUS STANDING, LISTENING TO THE JUDGE AS A JUDGE LAID OUT THE CASE, SAYING JUST HOW SERIOUS THIS CASE WAS. HE'S LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL OF TEN YEARS IN PRISON, BUT MAKING A DEAL WITH PROSECUTORS TO TELL WHAT HE KNOWS IN THIS CASE. HIS ATTORNEY TELLING ME THAT HIS CLIENT IS REMORSEFUL, THAT HIS CLIENT REALIZES, THE IMPACT THAT HE HAD ON THE LIFE OF MATTHEW PERRY, THAT HE KNOWS THAT HE PLAYED A ROLE IN THE DEATH OF MATTHEW PERRY AND THAT HE NOW WANTS TO MAKE IT. RIGHT. AND WANTS TO HELP OUT PROSECUTORS. THE HEADLINE TODAY WAS THAT HE HAS GIVEN UP HIS MEDICAL LICENSE. HE HAS NO LONGER OFFICIALLY A DOCTOR AT THIS POINT. HE DID NOT ENTER HIS PLEA WILL BE A GUILTY PLEA PROBABLY IN OCTOBER WHEN HE'LL ENTER THAT. THIS WAS AN INITIAL APPEARANCE, BUT HE TOLD THE JUDGE HE UNDERSTANDS THE CASE AND HE'S GIVEN UP THAT LICENSE. ALEX, YOU TALKED ABOUT HIS DESIRE TO HELP PROSECUTORS. HOW DOES THIS IMPENDING GUILTY PLEA HELP THEM IN THEIR CASE? >> THIS IS ALL WITH THIS DEAL, TRYING TO GET BOTH HIS GUILTY PLEA AND FROM TWO OF THE OTHER FIVE WHO ARE ACCUSED IN THIS CASE GETTING THEIR GUILTY PLEAS TO FLIP ON THE TWO. THE PROSECUTORS REALLY GOING AFTER DR. SALVADOR PLACENTIA, THE OTHER DOCTOR, THE ONE WHO ALLEGEDLY WAS THE ONE GIVING THE KETAMINE TO MATTHEW. DR. CHAVEZ WAS ALLEGEDLY GIVING IT TO DR.. AND THEN DR. PLACENTIA GIVING IT TO THE ASSISTANT MATTHEW PERRY AND MATTHEW PERRY HIMSELF. DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCE. AND THEN JUSTINE SAYING, AHA, THE ACADEMY AND QUEEN OF L.A., AS SHE WAS KNOWN THERE GOING AFTER THEM, THEY COULD BE THOSE TWO LOOKING AT 120 YEARS AND 100 YEARS RESPECTIVELY IN PRISON. THAT'S WHO PROSECUTORS ARE GOING AFTER. THEY WANT HELP FROM THE OTHERS. ALEX STONE DO A YEOMAN'S WORK FOR US ON THIS STORY. AT ONE POINT, I SAW ALEX DOING A LIVE SHOT FROM A CELL PHONE.

DONALD TRUMP RALLYING TODAY IN A PENNSYLVANIA STEEL TOWN. AND THE BREAKING NEWS, HOW HE PLANS TO VOTE ON HIS HOME STATE'S ABORTION BALLOT MEASURE MOMENTS FROM NOW. MEANTIME VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS MAKING HER PITCH TO VOTERS IN HER FIRST TELEVISED INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE ,ADDRESSING CRITICISM THAT SHE'S FLIP FLOPPED ON SOME KEY POLICIES. WHAT SHE SAID AS SHE AND HER ALLIES ALSO, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. HAMMERING THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S RECORD. AND IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, A NEW WATCHDOG REPORT CLAIMS COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY FAILED TO STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST JEWISH STUDENTS. THEIR FINDINGS AND WHAT IT MEANS AS KIDS RETURN TO THE CLASSROOM IN JUST ONE WEEK. >> BUT WE DO BEGIN WITH OUR BIG STORY, THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. TRUMP IS BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TODAY, HOLDING A RALLY IN JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, AN IMPORTANT CITY, A STEEL TOWN IN A MUST WIN BATTLEGROUND STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, SLAMMING VICE KAMALA HARRIS. >> WE'RE GOING TO DEFEAT COMRADE KAMALA HARRIS. AND YOU SEE HER. YOU SEE HER LAST NIGHT. DID YOU SEE HER LAST NIGHT? NOW YOU THINK SHE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE PRESIDENCY AD ON? >> I DON'T THINK SO. WITH VICTORY THIS FALL, WE WILL ENACT PRO-FAMILY AGENDA AND WE WILL BRING BACK THE AMERICAN BIGGER, BETTER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. JUST BEFORE THOSE REMARKS IN A NEW INTERVIEW JUST RELEASED, MAKING IT CLEAR HE WILL VOTE NO ON A BALLOT IN HIS HOME STATE OF FLORIDA THAT WOULD OVERTURN THAT STATE'S WEEK ABORTION BAN. MEANTIME, YESTERDAY IN WISCONSIN, HIS CAMPAIGN IS PITCHING A NEW POLICY, PLEDGING THAT TRUMP WOULD MAKE IVF TREATMENTS FREE IF HE RETURNS TO THE WHITE HOUSE. HERE'S THAT. >> FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE USING IVF IS FERTILIZATION. WE ARE A GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT OR WE'RE GOING TO GET OR MANDATE YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY FOR IT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE GREAT. >> WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT. >> MEANTIME, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA SITTING DOWN FOR HER FIRST TELEVISION INTERVIEW SINCE BECOMING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, HER RUNNING MATE, MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ, ALSO RIGHT BESIDE HER IN THAT INTERVIEW. SHE ADDRESSED CRITICISM THAT SHE'S FLOPPED ON CERTAIN POLICIES. HARRIS SAYING THAT HER VALUES, QUOTE, HAVEN'T CHANGED AND SAYING THIS ABOUT HER ECONOMIC ON DAY ONE, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT ONE IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN FOR WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. I'VE ALREADY LAID OUT A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS IN THAT REGARD. WHICH INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESSES, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO IN FAMILIES. >> SO FRIDAY CAN BE A SLEEPY NEWS DAY, NOT THIS FRIDAY. WE GOT A LOT TO TALK ABOUT. SO I WANT TO TURN TO OUR PANEL NOW, ABC CONTRIBUTOR AND XM RADIO HOST MIKE MUSE, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST AND FORMER MAYOR OF THE GREAT CITY OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, STEPHANIE RAWLINGS-BLAKE, REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST TRICIA MCLAUGHLIN, AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND OP ED COLUMNIST ,THE LOS ANGELES TIMES. >> L.Z. GRANDERSON. WELCOME IN ALL OF YOU. STEPHANIE, I TO TURN TO YOU AND I WANT TO PICK UP WHERE WE JUST LEFT OFF WITH THAT. >> KAMALA INTERVIEW. SHE WAS PRESSED REPEATEDLY ON WHY HER OPINIONS CHANGED ON A NUMBER OF ISSUES, FROM FRACKING TO THE GREEN DEAL TO IMMIGRATION. AND HER ANSWER, AS YOU HEARD ME SAY, WAS THAT HER VALUES HAVEN'T CHANGED, BUT SHE DOESN'T NECESSARILY ANSWER WHY HER POLICY POSITIONS HAVE CHANGED. >> IS THAT GOING TO ENOUGH TO SATISFY VOTERS? >> AND WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE SAID? I THINK HER ANSWER WAS SPOT ON. I PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER, YOU CAN DO BETTER. AND SHE HAS HAD MORE INFORMATION. AND I ALSO THINK IN OWN LIVES WE'VE EXPERIENCED WHERE WE'VE HAD A POSITION FOUND OUT MORE INFORMATION OR TYPES OF CHANGE IN OUR CHANGE IS OKAY. >> WHAT SHE SAID THAT STUCK WITH ME ABOUT HER VALUES NOT CHANGING IS TRUE. SHE THOUGHTFULLY THE QUESTIONS AND WHAT WE ALSO KNOW IS TRUMP VALUES HAVEN'T CHANGED. >> HE VALUES WINNING AT ALL COST. YOU SAW THAT WHEN HE WAS SAYING, NOW IVF IS GOING TO BE FREE FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS IT. >> AND WITH NO CONCEPT OR NO ANSWER TO WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT AND HOW IT IS GOING TO GET PAID. SO WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHOSE VALUES ARE ROOTED SERVICE AND ROOTED IN FACTS, THAT'S WHY YOU CAN GET SOMEONE WHO FEELS OKAY CHANGING THEIR MIND, UNLIKE TRUMP, WHO'S ROOTED IN ROOTING FOR HIMSELF. WELL, SHE'S ALSO GOT TO WIN PENNSYLVANIA. AND YOU CAN'T COME OUT ON BANNING IF YOU WANT TO WIN PENNSYLVANIA. BUT I DO WANT TO MOVE ON. TRICIA MCLAUGHLIN, I WANT TO BRING YOU IN HERE, FORMER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL, BECAUSE I WANT TO READ YOU SOMETHING THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST SAID MOMENTS AGO. AS YOU HEARD ME SAY. HE SAID HE'S GOING TO VOTE NO ON FLORIDA'S ABORTION BALLOT MEASURE. THAT'S SOME BREAKING NEWS. AND THEN HE SAID WHEN GIVING HIS REASONING, QUOTE, SO I THINK SIX WEEKS REFERRING TO THE SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN IN FLORIDA, YOU NEED MORE THAN SIX WEEKS. I DISAGREED WITH THAT FROM THE EARLY PRIMARIES WHEN I HEARD IT, I DISAGREED WITH IT. AT THE SAME TIME, THE DEMOCRATS ARE RADICAL. AND THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY, SO I'LL BE VOTING NO FOR THAT REASON. HE'S KIND OF TRYING TO HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. HE'S TRYING TO SAY HE DOESN'T LIKE THE SIX WEEKS AND THE BAN, BUT ALSO HE'S GOING TO VOTE NO ON, THE BALLOT MEASURE TO OVERTURN THAT BAN. DO YOU THINK THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO TAKE FOR SUBURBAN WOMEN VOTERS THAT TRUMP HAS GOT TO? >> NO, I THINK THAT'S HOW A LOT OF AMERICANS FEEL. >> I THINK THAT THEY FEEL OFTEN DEMOCRATS GO TOO FAR IN SOME OF THESE POLICIES. THE WEEKS ARE FAR, YOU KNOW, LIKE 21 WEEKS, WAY TOO FAR. AMERICANS PROBABLY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE 12 AND 17 WEEK. I THINK A LOT OF REPUBLICANS DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIX WEEK MARK. >> SO I THINK HE HE'S WHERE A LOT OF AMERICANS ARE. I DO WANT TO ADDRESS ONE THING THAT MY DEMOCRAT FRIEND SAID, WHICH WAS THAT KAMALA HARRIS ADDRESSED AT ALL HER FLIP FLOPS. >> I DON'T THINK IN ANY WAY DID SHE? ESPECIALLY THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE. IN FACT, SHE NEVER SAID SHE HAS MORE INFORMATION. >> SO THAT'S WHY SHE CHANGED HER MIND. DANA ACTUALLY GAVE HER THAT ANSWER, WHICH WAS QUITE A HELP . >> HAVE THE HELP LEADING THE WITNESS, IF YOU WILL. SHE NEVER ANSWERED WHY SHE LEFT 10 TO 15 MILLION PEOPLE ILLEGALLY IN THIS COUNTRY UNDER HER WATCH. SHE NEVER SAID WHY SHE WAS BACKTRACKING ON DEFUNDING ICE. ACTUALLY, IN FACT, IF SHE WOULD DEFUND ICE, WHICH IT'S SOUNDING LIKE SHE WOULDN'T, HER DEFENSE FOR HER ABSOLUTE AT THE BORDER WAS THIS BIPARTISAN BORDER BILL, WHICH, BY THE WAY, DID NOT COME UP UNTIL 3.5 YEARS INTO THAT ADMINISTRATION. IT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED FOR A MASS AMNESTY. AND, OH, BY THE WAY, MORE THAN 5000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BEING ALLOWED TO ENTER THIS COUNTRY. THAT IS NOT POLICY. THAT IS TOUGH ON THE BORDER. AMERICANS DO NOT WANT THAT. >> TRICIA, JUST TO DRILL DOWN SOMETHING VERY QUICKLY, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE LIMITED TIME. BUT IF TRUMP I WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT ABORTION THING, IF TRUMP SAYS HE DOESN'T LIKE SIX WEEK BAN, AS YOU SAID, THAT MOST AMERICANS ARE IN THAT PLACE, THAT HE FEELS SIX WEEKS IS TOO DRACONIAN. WHY NOT VOTE FOR THE BALLOT MEASURE THAT GETS RID OF IT? >> I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF THAT BALLOT MEASURE, SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT. BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE WANT SOMEWHERE THE MIDDLE. >> L.Z., I WANT TO TURN TO YOU HERE. THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN IS POINTING OUT THAT TRUMP HAS BRAGGED ABOUT APPOINTING JUSTICES THAT OVERTURNED ROE. TRUMP HAS SAID THAT HE LIKES ABORTION IS CURRENTLY IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE IT'S A STATE ISSUE. NOW. DO YOU THINK THAT THAT'S A MESSAGE THAT COULD HELP THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN OR COULD THIS TRUMP IVF PLAN, THE GOVERNMENT PAYING FOR IS THE PITCH THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS GIVEN. YOU HEARD HIM GIVE IT IN THAT. COULD THAT HELP HIM MAKE SOME INROADS, FRANKLY, WITH SUBURBAN FEMALE TO SAY THAT SHE USED THE WORD PLAN. BUT THAT IDEA OF PITCH AS THAT IT WAS THOUGHT OUT AND THERE'S LIKE A WAY TO PAY FOR IT AND HOW IT'S GOING TO BE ADMINISTERED AND EXECUTED. BECAUSE I DIDN'T HEAR A PLAN. WHAT I HEARD WAS THROWING STUFF UP AGAINST THE WALL AND HOPING SOMETHING STICKS. AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO MY REPUBLICAN PANELISTS, AND I AM NOT A DEMOCRAT NEED TO SAY THIS FIRST. GOING AFTER VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FOR QUOTE UNQUOTE, FLIP FLOPPING WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF A CONVERSATION. ABORTION WITH REFERENCE TO DONALD TRUMP IS VERY RICH. THIS IS A MAN, 1999, WHO CAME OUT PUBLICLY ON MEET THE PRESS AND SAID MULTIPLE TIMES, HE'S FOR CHOICE. HE DECIDES TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND THEN HE DECIDED HE WAS PRO-LIFE. HE DECIDED HE'D BE EVEN MORE PRO-LIFE AND SAID, I GOING NEED TO BE PUNISHED BECAUSE HE WAS UP AGAINST POLITICIANS LIKE SENATOR RUBIO AS WELL AS SENATOR TED CRUZ. IN ORDER TO SEPARATE THEM. THAT NEEDS TO BE EVEN EXTREME. HE CONTINUED TO GO FURTHER AND FURTHER RIGHT UNTIL THE POINT IN WHICH ROE V. WADE WAS OVERTURNED AND HE REALIZED THAT WOMEN ACTUALLY WANTED A CHOICE AND NOW HE HAS REVERSED COURSE. SO WHILE IT'S TRUE THE SIN OF VICE THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS HAS CHANGED THE POSITION ON SEVERAL ISSUES ,ATTACKING HER WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ABORTION RIGHTS WITH DONALD TRUMP JUST SEEMS REALLY RICH TO ME. >> MIKE, I WANT TO TURN TO ECONOMIC ISSUES JUST VERY QUICKLY WITH YOU, BECAUSE TRUMP IS CAMPAIGNING IN A STEEL TOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA, IS IN JOHNSTOWN. AND ONE OF THE THINGS IS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND KAMALA HARRIS, THEY LIKE TO TOUT THE JOB GAINS DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. AND THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT JOB GAINS DURING THIS ADMINISTRATION. BUT THE "NEW YORK TIMES" HAS THIS ANALYSIS IN WHICH THEY THAT NOT EVERY SINGLE COUNTY IN THIS COUNTRY HAS SEEN THOSE KIND OF GAINS AND THAT IT'S KIND OF BEEN AN UNEQUAL JOB MARKET, VARIOUS PLACES. SO, FOR INSTANCE, WHERE TRUMP IS IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEAR PITTSBURGH SOME OF THOSE COUNTIES, INCLUDING THE ONE HE'S IN, HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN FEWER JOBS INSTANCE IN 2023 THAN THEY HAD IN 2019. SO THEY HAVEN'T SEEN COVID REBOUND. DO YOU THINK THAT COULD WORK TO TRUMP'S ADVANTAGE? >> KIND OF UNEQUAL COMEBACK IN SOME INSTANCES? >> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ADVANTAGE OR DISADVANTAGE, BUT I THINK BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE TO LAY OUT THEIR ECONOMIC AND HOW THEY ARE CONTINUALLY GOING TO GROW THE ECONOMY, PARTICULARLY IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE GDP. WE SEE HAVE SEEN JOB NUMBERS GOING DOWN TO WHICH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS HAS. >> IT HAS AN INTERESTING POSITION. HOW DOES SHE, ONE, SUPPORT THE ADMINISTRATION THAT SHE IS A PART OF THE ADMINISTRATION WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SEPARATING HERSELF A VISION ON WHAT SHE SEES GOING FORWARD? I THOUGHT IT VERY INTERESTING IN THE INTERVIEW YESTERDAY AND THROUGHOUT HER CAMPAIGN THAT SHE'S BEEN LEADING SO MUCH INTO MIDDLE AMERICA AND TO MAKE SURE THAT MIDDLE AMERICA HAS THE OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW. IN PARTICULAR, I THOUGHT IT WAS AROUND CLEAN ENERGY. AS SOMEONE WHO IS BIG A HAS AN INTEREST IN CLIMATE SCIENCE AND ENERGY SCIENCE. AND THE FACT THAT SHE WAS REALLY MADE THAT PRONOUNCEMENT YESTERDAY WHERE SHE SAID THAT IN 2019 SHE WAS AGAINST FRACKING, BUT IN 2020 ON THE DEBATE STAGE, SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD NOT STOP FRACKING. AND THEN SHE SAID IN ROLE AS VICE PRESIDENT, THEY CONTINUE NOT TO IMPLEMENT ANY NO FRACKING. WHAT SHE CONCLUDED WAS THAT THE DATA SUGGESTED THAT YOU COULD HAVE A CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HAVING FRACKING. SO I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT ABOUT WHEN YOU ALLOW THAT DATA TO MAKE YOUR DECISIONS FOR YOU IN PARTICULAR ABOUT WAYS TO GROW JOBS, IN PARTICULAR WEST VIRGINIA, WHERE THERE HAS THIS NARRATIVE OF THE COAL INDUSTRY RIGHT? SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE HOW CAN YOU TRANSITION YOUR CURRENT ECONOMY, MANUFACTURING AND LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CONVERTING TO A CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY SO THAT YOU CAN DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, LOOK AT THE EMISSIONS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME GROWING LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES IN ORDER TO CREATE JOBS IN THOSE AREAS TOO, WHICH ADDRESSES YOUR. BUT THAT HAS TO HAVE MORE NUANCE OF AN ANSWER TO A VERY GREAT THAT YOU ASKED JANE. >> I REPEAT MY REFRAIN, THOUGH TOUGH, TO WIN PENNSYLVANIA IF YOU ARE AGAINST FRACKING. MIKE. STEPHANIE. TRISHA L.Z., THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> SHE'S ASKING WHETHER KEEP YOUR SEATS AND SEPTEMBER 10TH, BE SURE TO WATCH ABC NEWS BECAUSE VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE SET TO DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS AGAIN.

POLICE WILL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED AT WIT'S END AT THE FOR A KILLER ONLY ON HULU. >> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START DAY HERE FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS START HERE TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY'S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET'S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST. HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD R. MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO START HERE ABC NEWS. MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT'S PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE IN OUR SPOTLIGHT TONIGHT. A NEW REPORT OUT TODAY SAYS COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY FAILED TO STOP HATE AND VIOLENCE AGAINST JEWISH STUDENTS ON CAMPUS. THE REPORT COMES FROM A TASK FORCE MADE UP OF FACULTY MEMBERS WHICH INTERVIEWED NEARLY 500 STUDENTS OVER 20 MEETINGS. AND WHAT THEY FOUND WERE COMPLAINTS OF WIDESPREAD ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS GROUNDS, INCLUDING IN DORMS CLUBS AND CLASSROOMS. THE GROUP ALSO CRITICIZING SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR REFUSING TO BELIEVE STUDENTS COMPLAINTS. >> ALL OF THIS HAPPENING IN THE BACKDROP OF THE START OF THE NEW SEMESTER. SO WE WANT TO BRING BACK OUR PANEL, DISCUSS THIS. MIKE. STEPHANIE, TRISHA AND L.Z., WELCOME IN ALL OF YOU AGAIN. MIKE, I WANT TO START WITH YOU. WHAT STOOD OUT TO YOU FROM THIS REPORT? AND DO YOU SEE COLUMBIA TAKING ANY ADDITIONAL ACTION HERE? WE'VE SEEN THE PRESIDENT OF COLUMBIA RESIGN AMONGST THIS ISSUE AND OTHERS BUT DO YOU SEE CHANGES AT THE SCHOOL NOW? >> HOPEFULLY SOME CHANGE WILL BE IMPLEMENT. I THINK WHAT STOOD OUT FOR ME, THOUGH, JAKE, TO YOUR QUESTION WAS IN READING HOW THEY HAD TO AGAIN, DEFINE WHAT IS ANTI-SEMITISM. FOR ME, THAT WAS A STANDOUT TO REALLY JUST WHERE WE ARE IN IN AMERICA AND IN SOCIETY WHERE OFTEN TIMES A LOT OF US IN THE MEDIA, A LOT OF US WHO ARE AWARE AND DO THIS TYPE OF WORK ,THAT WE MAKE BROAD ASSUMPTIONS THAT SO MANY AMERICANS HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT IS TO BE ANTI-SEMITIC, IT IS TO HAVE HATE SPEECH, AND THAT THERE IS SOMETIMES A MISUNDERSTANDING. WHAT EXACTLY FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION ACTUALLY ALLOWS, YOU IN THIS COUNTRY, UP UNTIL THE POINT OF DO NO HARM. SO FOR ME, WHAT STOOD OUT IS NOT ONLY DO THE COLUMBIA, THE ECOSYSTEM COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY NEED TO EDUCATION ON ANTI-SEMITISM SENT TO ANTI-SEMITIC RHETORIC AS WELL AS HATE SPEECH, BUT ALSO TO THE BROADER SCOPE OF AMERICAN SOCIETY AND CULTURE NEEDS TO HAVE A BROADER UNDERSTANDING, AS WELL AS HOW UNIVERSITY, NOT JUST AT COLUMBIA, BUT SO MANY OTHER UNIVERSITIES ARE DEALING WITH THIS. THEY RETURN BACK TO CAMPUS BY THE FALL, HOW TO PUT PROCEDURES IN PLACE THAT WON'T ALLOWS STUDENTS OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND TO PROTEST. BUT UNTIL IT DOES HARM. AND SO I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE EDUCATION AROUND THE PROTOCOLS AROUND THAT. >> I WANT TO COME BACK TO THE FALL IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS, BECAUSE YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT THERE. TRICIA, I WANT TO QUICKLY TURN TO YOU HERE BECAUSE ELITE COLLEGES LIKE COLUMBIA, LIKE OTHER IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS, THEY'VE BEEN A TOP TARGET OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS. THERE'S THIS ONGOING INVESTIGATION, AS YOU KNOW, IN THE HOUSE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, INTO ANTI-SEMITISM ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. IT'S RESULTED IN A NUMBER OF UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS RESIGNING IN SOME INSTANCES BECAUSE OF HOW THEY PERFORMED IN THOSE COMMITTEE HEARINGS. DO YOU THINK A REPORT LIKE THIS FROM INSIDE THE UNIVERSITY WOULD SUPERCHARGE THAT INVESTIGATION? WOULD IT GET MAYBE HOUSE REPUBLICANS OFF THE BACK OF A SCHOOL LIKE COLUMBIA BECAUSE THEY COULD SEE SOME KIND OF PROGRESS? >> YEAH, I THINK COLUMBIA'S ABSOLUTELY TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF EXTERNAL REPORTS AND INVESTIGATIONS WITH OWN AND HOPING THAT HELPS SHAPE THE NARRATIVE. SOME OF THESE CLAIMS IN THIS REPORT THAT, OF COURSE, WERE STARTLING. A STUDENT WHO WAS HARASSED FOR HAVING A MEZUZAH ON HER DORM ROOM DOOR. JEWISH STUDENTS WHO SAY THAT THEIR STAR OF DAVID DAVID NECKLACES WERE STRIPPED FROM THEIR NECKS, THEM BEING PINNED AGAINST WALLS AND NOT ALLOWED TO GO INTO CERTAIN BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE AND I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CLEAR THAT THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FREEDOM, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THESE PROTESTERS PRACTICING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND THOSE WHO ACTUALLY ARE VIOLENT AND ARE THREATENING OTHER STUDENTS. >> L.Z. GRANDERSON, AS YOU KNOW, MY FRIEND, I AM AN AVID READER OF YOUR WORK AND YOU TO WHAT I THINK WAS A DOUG EMHOFF EVENT, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, IN MICHIGAN, IF I'M RIGHT AND YOU INTERVIEWED A YOUNG JEWISH A STUDENT THERE AND HE IS I RECALL RECOUNTED HIS EXPERIENCES WITH ANTISEMITISM TO YOU, WHAT DID HE TELL YOU? OH, YES, HE DID. AND I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT HIM AS YOU WERE SPEAKING WITH THE OTHER PANELISTS, BECAUSE IT REALLY SHOOK. HE'S ONLY 17 YEARS OLD AND HE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD ON CAMPUS, EXCEPT IT WAS IN HIS HIGH SCHOOL. ONE OF HIS COUSINS WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE 3000 ATTENDEES OF THE FESTIVAL, THE MUSIC FESTIVAL THAT HAMAS ATTACKED AND LEFT ABOUT 400 PEOPLE DEAD. HIS COUSIN IN THAT FESTIVAL. AND HE SAID, AS DURING THE CLASSROOM IN SCIENCE, SNICKERED AT HIM. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT BE LIKE TO TRY TO SHARE SOMETHING SO VULNERABLE, BUT THEN TO ALSO BE JEWISH IN THAT ENVIRONMENT, IN THIS ENVIRONMENT OF THE COUNTRY AND. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR WORDS ON MY PIECE, AND I WOULD JUST THAT THIS CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING ISN'T JUST ABOUT COLLEGE CAMPUSES. THIS IS A CONVERSATION BE HAVING EVERYWHERE WITH EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS. STEPHANIE VERY QUICKLY, AND FORGIVE ME, WE HAVE LIMITED TIME. WHEN STUDENTS RETURN IN THE FALL, IF THERE MORE PROTESTS, DO YOU THINK THAT THAT CREATES AN ISSUE FOR THE HARRIS JUST GIVEN THE DEEP DIVISIONS BETWEEN DEMOCRATS ON THIS ISSUE? >> YOU KNOW, I HATE TO THINK OF IT AS A CAMPAIGN ISSUE WHEN I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO'S A SENIOR IN COLLEGE AND EVERY PARENT WANTS THEIR CHILD TO BE IN AN WHERE THEY ARE SAFE. AND I'VE SPOKEN TO PARENTS, JEWISH STUDENTS WHO ARE IN WERE IN TEARS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT THEIR THEIR CHILDREN WERE BEING TREATED. YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE FREE SPEECH. BUT THE LEVEL OF HATE THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULDN'T BE TOLERATED ON ANY CAMPUS. >> AN EXCELLENT POINT THERE, STEPHANIE, THANK YOU FOR THAT. MIKE, TRISHA, L.Z., THANK YOU AS WELL. KEEP YOUR SEAT. STAY WITH US, BECAUSE STILL AHEAD IN OUR LAST CALL ON THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, A LITTLE BIT A CHANGE OF GEARS FOR US. WHY TEENAGE GIRLS ARE FLOCKING TO FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUES.

WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN IN THIS HISTORIC, THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE MODERATED DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, LIVE ON ABC AND STREAMING ON ABC NEWS LIVE POOL AND DISNEY PLUS THE ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> HI RACHEL SCOTT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS FIVE . >> TIME NOW FOR OUR LAST CALL WITH. THE NFL SEASON FAST APPROACHING FANTASY FOOTBALL IS BACK. IT'S BOOMING IN POPULARITY WITH MILLIONS OF AMERICANS NOW PLAYING SPORTS, EXPLODING AN INDUSTRY THAT'S ALREADY BRINGING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO PEOPLE'S WALLETS. SO WE WANT TO BRING BACK OUR PANEL TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE THERE ALSO HAS BEEN THIS MASSIVE INCREASE IN FEMALE FANTASY SPORTS FANS. SO LET'S BRING BACK OUR PANEL TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION. >> WELCOME IN ALL. STEPHANIE, I WANT TO START WITH YOU. THERE HAS BEEN THIS THOUGHT PROCESS IN THE CRUNCHING OF THE NUMBERS THAT BECAUSE OF IT'S BEEN LABELED, AS YOU HEARD ME SAYING, THE TEAMS, THE TAYLOR SWIFT EFFECT WHERE MORE FEMALES ARE FLOCKING TO FANTASY SPORTS BECAUSE OF TAYLOR SWIFT. >> YOU KNOW, MORE WOMEN WATCHED NFL GAMES BECAUSE OF TAYLOR SWIFT, BUT FEMALES MAKE UP LIKE HALF OF THE NFL'S FAN BASE. >> SO DO YOU THINK THAT THIS KIND OF CONVERSATION PIECE IS A LITTLE BIT OVERBLOWN? >> WELL, I'M HERE FOR THE NEW ERA OF TAYLOR SWIFT, AND I HOPE THAT THAT MEANS THAT WE'LL GET SOME BETTER GEAR AND I CAN PUT MY BEDAZZLED AWAY. I'M SO SICK OF HAVING TO FOLLOW MY NFL, MY RAVENS GEAR BECAUSE IT'S SO DRAB. I LOVE IT. SWIFT DAVE, COME ON. GET GET THE JEWELRY GO AND EVERYTHING. >> THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. LIKE THE NFL HAS SAID FOR YEARS, THERE TONS OF FEMALE FOOTBALL FANS AND SO THERE'S BEEN THIS LIKE MISNOMER THAT THERE AREN'T. BUT I WANT TO TURN TO TRICIA MCLAUGHLIN WITH ALL OF THIS. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS? >> I'M WITH STEPHANIE. I'M A BENGALS FAN NOW, BUT I WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING AT ALL IN FANTASY FOOTBALL. >> MY RECORD IS HORRIBLE, BUT SO FAR ALL THE LADIES AND YOU DO. >> I AM THE WORST FANTASY FOOTBALL PLAYER THERE. POSSIBLY. >> MIKE MUSE. ARE YOU GOING TO FANTASY SPORTS? >> I AM, BUT I HAVEN'T WON MY LEAGUE YET. BUT I PLAY TYPICALLY WITHIN THE TOP FIVE OF MY LEAGUES. I DO A REALLY GREAT BUT I AM EXCITED FOR THIS THOUGH I. THINK REALLY THE SUBTEXT OF THIS IS HOW OFTEN I TALK TO SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS WHO ARE GROWN DADS AND SAY THAT THEY HAD NOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT AND WATCH FOOTBALL GAMES NOT JUST WITH THEIR WIVES OR PARTNERS AND GIRLFRIENDS, BUT THEY NOW GET A CHANCE TO WATCH IT WITH THEIR DAUGHTERS. AND I THINK THAT ESPECIALLY THINK THAT'S REALLY HELPING DRIVE THE INTRIGUE OF FANTASY FOOTBALL AND I THINK THERE IS THIS FAMILY DYNAMIC OF WATCHING THE GAME TOGETHER. >> YEAH, THAT IS HUGE. L.Z. GRANDERSON, YOUR THOUGHTS ON ALL OF THIS. YOU CAN HAVE ANY TAKE THAT YOU POSSIBLY WANT. YOU'VE GOT NO SPECIFIC. NO, I THINK IT'S ALL FANTASTIC. I HAVING TAYLOR SWIFT INVOLVED IS GREAT. BUT I WILL GIVE THE NFL CREDIT. TEN YEARS AGO, RAY RICE WITH THE BALTIMORE RAVENS HAD THAT HORRIBLE VIDEO COME
