We have a lot of news to get to. We are tracking that hurricane. Parts along the coast are expecting massive waves. Massive waves. But we begin with breaking news overnight. United autoworkers going on strike. We are the union they are taking unprecedented action against all three automakers at once. But only walking out at one plant for each company. Senior National Correspondent terry moran is at a plant in michigan with the latest. Good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, george. Im here outside the ford plant in wayne where they make broncos and rangers. Theyve been on the picket line since midnight last night. Hundreds last night. Now theyre going in shifts. Its been a summer of strikes, hasnt it . Hollywood, health care, u. P. S. And now the big one, the auto industry. The uaw demanding, like the others, better pay and benefits, trying to shift the industry back towards workers. Union reporter at the stroke of midnight and a deal nowhere in sight, the united autoworkers are on a historic strike for the first time walking out of facilities from all of the big three u. S. Automakers. Uaw is ready to stand up. This is our defining moment. Reporter but this is not a mass walkout, for now. The union is aiming to disrupt corporate operations with targeted strikes at three facilities, a ford plant in michigan, a gm plant in missouri and an ohio plant for chryslers owner. Stellantis. A total of 12,700 workers have walked off the job so far. This strategy will keep the companies guessing. Reporter in the final hours a behind the scenes scramble to avoid what would be a devastating strike, with President Biden calling uaw president shawn fain and all three of the automakers leader. Ford and gm offering a 20 wage increase. But thats only half of what the union was calling for, a 40 increase. They say thats right in line with the pay increases the ceos have had since the last contract. Workers also demanding a return to pension plans, better Retiree Healthcare and cost of living adjustments. Fords ceo telling us the unions demands are unsustainable and an industry aiming to adapt to the future. We are the most Important Industries for jobs in america. Everyone will suffer, especially in the communities where we have plants. Reporter by one estimate a strike at all three companies could cost the economy more than 5 billion with tens of thousands of jobs lost. But for scott fox out on the picket lines here this morning, this strike is about much more than the auto industry. So bottom line, people watching this, what do you want people to know about what youre doing . I want them to know were looking out for everybody not just the union people here at this plant. You got the mega dollar dudes and then you got us down here. Reporter the Companies Say they have put a fair offer on the table and they say they are prepared for a strike. Theyve got an inventory of cars and some money in the bank. This could go on for awhile. As you heard there from scott fox, for the workers, this is something more. This is a time to reset the balance between workers and management which they believe has been out of whack for a long, long time. George . Terry, thank you very much. Well see how it plays out. Gms Ceo Mary Barra will join us in our next hour. We turn to hurricane lee and its impact on the east coast. A state of emergency is in effect in maine this morning as the storm kicks up big waves and creates dangerous rip currents along the shore. Rob marciano is there live. Good morning, rob. Reporter good morning, michael. The center of lee still over 500 miles away. The cloud shield has arrived. These waves the last 24 hours have been relentless, slamming ashore here. Beach erosion is on going. Rip currents certainly a big issue with this. We could see a push of water as far as flushing, new york. New york metro getting a piece of the action. Lets look at the water with this, the waves. Good thing were on the east side of this thing. 30, 40 footers will be coming, approaching canada, as this thing moves up toward the north and saturday with its approaching landfall. Storm surge on the northern side of this for the cape, 10 to 16 footer coming in on the south side of this. Hard core surfers, theyve been coming in from all over north america to right these big waves. Make no mistake this water coming in with lee is extremely dangerous. Michael . No doubt about that, rob. Thank you very much for that. Lets go to ginger in seabright, new jersey, with the track of the hurricane and the flood threat. Good morning, ginger. Hey, good morning. Just a north wind blasting us with sand already. Yes, that same cloud shield rob was seeing, were seeing the edges of as well. Lee with more than 560 miles from the center here is way out there. Bermuda felt it, with crashing waves. Then its passed really quickly. This is when the thing starts racing and it goes north into canada by tomorrow night. But as rob said, the impacts will be felt well bond. The rip current risk, they have beaches down the shore here in new jersey that are going to fine people if they get in the water. Keep that in mind as waves up to 16 feet on long island. Then Tropical Storm warnings from cape cod up to bar harbor, including halifax. Rebecca, i should tell you this. About those Tropical Storm force winds being so wide beyond where the storm goes that youll feel. It will be gone by sunday. Wow. Such a huge reach though. Thank you, ginger. We appreciate it. We turn now to the latest on hunter biden. The president s son was indicted by federal prosecutors on three gun charges after a plea deal fell apart. In a moment we will be hearing from his attorney live. But first our chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas joins us now. Good morning, pierre. Reporter rebecca, good morning. Two months ago the president s son seemed on the verge of putting this case largely behind him, but now hes at the center of a legal and political storm that could damage his father. This morning the consequences of a plea deal unravelling. The president s son indicted on three felony gun charges. Hunter biden facing two counts of making false statements and one count of illegal gun possession. The charges filed by special counsel david weiss are tied to Hunter Bidens drug addiction, which in 2018 was so bad, that he was using crack cocaine, quote, at times as frequently as every 15 minutes. I went one time for 13 days without sleeping and smoking crack and drinking vodka exclusively throughout that entire time. Reporter that year in october hunter biden purchased a colt revolver and filled out a form saying that he was not a drug kwrouzer, which prosecutors say made his purchase and possession of the gun illegal. But the gun charge was supposed to go away when biden agreed to plead guilty to tax crimes as part of a deal with dave weiss, who was a trump appointed u. S. Attorney for delaware who had been investigating biden for five years. After that deal fell apart, weiss lobbied the attorney general and asked to be named special counsel. Mr. Weiss has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigation and to continue to take the steps he deems appropriate independently. Reporter weiss then warned any chance of plea negotiations restarting was unlikely telling the court, quote, the parties are at an impasse. This morning Hunter Bidens attorneys are claiming the special counsel is bending to political pressure, mainly from House Republicans who are seeking to impeach the president with thus far little to no evidence of crimes. On capitol hill, some republicans not satisfied, saying the indictment does not go far enough. While some democrats argue the Justice System is working. Im glad its being uncovered. I wish it had been uncovered four years ago. If hunter biden committed crimes, he should be held cot accountable. That should happen in the court of law. Hunter biden is a private citizen. He is not the president of the united states. Reporter the president has stood by his son but thursday he had no comment as he tries to show that hes not influencing this case. George . Okay, pierre, thank you very much. We are joined by Hunter Bidens attorney. Abbe lowell. Abbe, thank you for joining us. You say the prosecutors are bending to political pressure. Are you maintaining your client is innocent of the charges . Well, innocent has three legs to it, doesnt it . First as to the political pressure i want to make sure everybody understands that after five years of an investigation that the prosecutors knew all the facts and the only change that has occurred between when they investigated and today is that the law changed. But the law didnt change in favor of the prosecution. The law changed against it because a couple of federal courts have found this gun charge to be unconstitutional. So first, theres an agreement in place where this charge should have been brought. Second the statute is likely unconstitutional. Third on the facts, we think well have a defense. You say you think youll have a defense. On the form hunter biden wrote that he was not a drug user. By his own admission he was a drug user, wasnt he . Okay, look. If youre going to be specific, then be specific. If the form asks if you are a drug user on the day you buy a gun that is an issue. If it says have you ever used drugs thats an issue. That will be played out in court. Let me stop you there. You are saying your defense is going to be that he was not a drug user on the day he signed the form . No, our defense has multiple parts to it. The first is that theres a deal in place that should have prevented this. Second is that courts are finding the statute unconstitutional. The third, if it ever gets that far, and we dont believe it should, there will be a defense on the facts of this case. Again, i need to point out for people who are paying attention that whats odd about this is the fact that this happened in 2018, Law Enforcement showed up, no charges. The u. S. Attorneys office has known about this for years. No charges. When they found out about it and made a deal it was for a diverted agreement. What changed . Not the facts, not the law, but all the politics that have now come into play. Was hunter biden a drug user on the day he signed the form . I think thats something that, if it ever gets that far, you and everybody else will see the evidence. And what is the evidence . The evidence will be presented when and if there is a trial. Its not going to be somehow prelimed in this interview today or others. George, i want people to understand what happened yesterday. What happened yesterday is that after prosecutors were on the scene and investigated and saw what happened, no charges were ever filed. When a charge was theoretically filed, it was a diversion agreement. Since this time, no fact has changed. Theyve known all the facts about hunters possession of a gun for years, and the law that is being applied has only gotten to the point where the statute has been held to be unconstitutional. What people should be focusing on is not what happened five years ago, but what happened in the last six weeks to change a diverted agreement into now a felony gun charge. The only thing thats changed has been the political pressure put on by the republicans in congress and the media that supports them. You said if this reaches trial. Do you think a plea deal is still possible . I think the case will be dismissed before trial. Abbe lowell, thank you very much. Michael . Thank you, george. To the latest on the flooding catastrophe in libya and massive Recovery Efforts under way. Ian pannell has more. Good morning, ian. Reporter good morning, michael. Thats right. A massive recovery and rescue operation is under way in the city hardest hit by these floods. Residents reportedly told to stay off the streets while emergency teams look for bodies. The red crescent reporting 11,000 people have died, 10,000 still missing. New satellite images though revealing the scale of the disaster before and after photographs show houses and roads washed away when the storm hit and two storms hit. And two major dams burst. Another shows one of the dams intact and what it looks like now. Mass burials have taken place amid reports of bodies being washed ashore miles from the city. Libyan authorities now admit the dams built in the 70s havent been maintained for years and the u. N. Claiming libyas weather warnings were inadequate saying we could have avoid most of the human casualties. More aid is arriving but disease fears as well as recovery operations, there are now thousands of survivors who desperately need help. Rebecca . And you can just feel that desperation in though images. All right, ian, thank you very much. We turn now to the convicted killer who was caught after two weeks on the run. Hes now in a maximum security prison being held alone in a cell under special observation. Trevor ault, who has been tracking this from the beginning, has the very latest from the prison. Good morning, trevor. Reporter good morning, rebecca. So Danilo Cavalcante is in prison, in a maximum security facility. Hes at fti phoenix an hour north of the prison that he escaped two weeks ago. Department of corrections said he is in his own cell, that specialized observation unit. He will even eat his meals inside that cell. He will have the option to put together a visitor and telephone list if he chooses. This morning we are learning details about the dog who took cavalcante down, customs and Border Protection named yoda. A 4yearold belgium malanois. They say he first bit cavalcante on the scalp and then latched on to his leg. Thats likely the reason cavalcante was not able to fire the stolen rifle at officers. This morning yoda the dog is back home in detroit. Hes one of hundreds of officers from agencies all over the country that came to pennsylvania to get Danilo Cavalcante back behind bars. Michael . Definitely was a big effort to make that happen. Cant get away from yoda. Thank you very much, trevor. Now to all eyes on Deion Sanders this weekend as his upstart Colorado Football Team takes on rival colorado state. Sanders quickly turning around a program that won just one game last season, making plenty of waves in the process. Demarco morgan has more for us. Good morning, demarco.

Sanders said norville is now making the game personal and giving his team extra ammunition for the showdown. This will be the teams first saturday meeting since 2019.

Interest rates are at an alltime high, but some home buyers are getting mortgages as low as 3 . Is it too good to be true . Its a story we first saw in the wall street journal. Whit johnson is here to break it all down. Good morning. Reporter rebecca, good morning. Reporter to answer that question, if it sounds too good to be true for most people, it probably is. But for some who are flexible, patient and lucky, this rare mortgage option might lead to an incredible deal. With sky high Interest Rates now topping 7 , their highest level in decades the dream of homeownership is stretching further out of reach for many americans. I guarantee you have never heard of this method to get a 2 Interest Rate. Reporter but some buyers are closing in on mortgages rivalling pandemic rates, some as low a 3 generating buzz on tik tok. Have you ever heard of an assumable mortgage . Reporter its called an assumable Mortgage Loan a rare and little known option which allows a home buyer to take over a sellers home loan and even keep the original Mortgage Rate. Heres an example of how it work. Say youre looking at a home that cost 500,000 and the sellers remaining loan balance is 250,000. Youve got to come up with that additional 250,000 either with your own cash or another form of financing. Its not that easy. Most mortgages are not assumable. This is something buyers definitely should ask. If sellers have an assumable mortgage this might be something they want toed a srer tie. Reporter as of july, 22 of mortgages were eligible, like loans through the department of veterans affairs. Just this past week the company rome launching in five states to help home buyers with assumable mortgage method. Largest benefit we bring is the ability for them to assume a mortgage with a Monthly Payment that is half of what they might get at todays prevailing rates which means they can buy more home for less money. Reporter matt kilroy put his condo on the market offering up a 2. 25 Mortgage Rate that he locked in during the pandemic. In the process of selling, we made sure that our realtor highlighted the fact that was an assumable loan right off the bat. Reporter matt says he was able to sell his condo in about 30 days. As soon as it went live, we already had two offers. Reporter while the prospect of a lower Interest Rate may sound exciting, some experts warn buyer beware. I think a lot of buyers dont realize they have to buy the sellers out of their mortgage. All the equity sellers have accrued in their home theyll have to pay for that at the closing table. Reporter so one of the biggest reasons this is not a common practice is because many people would very low Interest Rates are choosing not to sell their homes. But if youre a buyer, why not . It might be worth asking your realtor if this option could work for you. Guys . Whit, its a good point. But there are all of those buyers out there, i think 72 of people who own homes have Interest Rates less than 4 right now. So not a lot of incentive to sell your home until rates start going lower. The fed is predicting that will happen next year. Stay put. Thank you. Appreciate that. Coming up the misleading and dangerous new trend being shared on social media for weight loss.

Has no idea shes about to be live on gma. Well see what gio has in store for her. But first more on our top story. The united autoworkers going on strike, taking unprecedented action again all big three automakers at once. Joining us now is mary barra, the ceo of General Motors. Thank you so much for joining us. You are in the midst of a strike. You at gm, you said your final offer for what was called unprecedented is a raise of 20 over the life of the contract including 10 in the first year. Were you surprised the Union Rejected it . Is that offer still on the table . Well, its great to be here today. You know, as we look at the situation were in, im extremely disappointed and frustrated that were on strike. We need to talk about the offer you just reviewed. The offer is still on the table. It is a very strong offer not only from a gross wage perspective, 20 , that compounds to 21 over the life of the agreement but also maintaining World Class Health care and job security because of the allocations weve made to all of these plants. They have product and components to continue to build. Disappointed where were at, but the deal is still on the table and we are still at the table ready to negotiate to get people back to work. The unions asking for 40 hike in wages which they say matches the pay increases you and your fellow big three ceos received over the last four years. The union said worker salaries went up just over 6 during that same time period. Is that accurate and fair . Well, i dont know where the 40 came from. I will tell you from an executive compensation perspective, 92 of my compensation is based on performance. When we look at where we are from a gm perspective, when gm does well, our employees do well. Weve had record Profit Sharing that our employees have participated in. Now in addition, were putting a 20 gross wage rate increase, along with other bonuses that come as part of that. This is a very, very Strong Financial offer. Again, along with world class benefits and health care. The fact, and i think what our employees, is most important to them is job security. Thats important when we are in the middle of a transformation from internal Combustion Engine vehicles to electric vehicles and also a very competitive industry. With the big transformation to go ev. Last year the Companies Adjusted earnings before interest and tax was a record 14. 5 billion. You talked about Profit Sharing. But Profit Sharing with your workers was just 500 million. They say you can afford to pay them more. Whats your response to that . Well, again, each of our employees got over 12,750 from a Profit Sharing perspective. I think thats significant. From a profit perspective, everybody has to understand the profits that General Motors makes we reinvest in the business, we reinvest in our people to put new products. Having products that people want to buy is the way that we keep all of our Assembly Plants running. So weve been investing in our people, in our facilities to make sure we have a strong portfolio. So we maintain the leadership position we have in this country. Gm sells more vehicles than anyone else. You talked about your transformation to ev from combustion. But thats another concern among Union Members because theyre concerned that those cars may require fewer workers to build. Well, at General Motors, i know theres a lot of people making different assumptions or statements about the transition from ev to av. One of the things General Motors has done, because we want to make sure we take our employees along with us in this transformation. We developed power units internally. We are allocating them to the plants that build todays internal combustion vehicles. So we have a very concentrated plan that weve worked on for several years now to make sure that we have work for all of our employees as we make this transformation. Our employees are very talented. The work they did through covid, the work and how they manage the Semiconductor Shortage and supply chain challenges we still see today. Theyre world class. In fact, for the last two years General Motors has been recognized as having industry leading quality by jd power. Thats a result of the talented team we have on the manufacturing floor. They definitely are talented and are the best at what they do. Its not gm thats affected. Uaw is doing something its never done before, striking at all three major automakers at the same time. They said its only going to walk out a select plant. How will that impact your business . And will it keep operations running . Will you be able to keep them running . Well, right now the plant that is on strike is our wenshill plant. They build the Chevrolet Colorado and canyon. These are brand new midsize trucks doing very well in the market place, as well as our cargo van that is in strong demand. This can have an impact in a matter of days. Right now our other plants are running. Will you be back at the bargaining table today . Were there now. Were ready and want to get back to it. We want to problem solve. We want to get people back to work as quickly as possible. Well, we hope thats the case and it happens asap. Thank you so much for joining us. We want to say that mary barr is a member of the disney board, disney is an abc news parent company. Rebecca . Thank you. Coming up in our gma morning menu, more moms are looking to get back into the work force. These are the steps you should take and how to use your time away from work to your advantage.

Right . Thats right, george. Were seeing this really interesting trend. Women with Young Children are jumping back into the labor force. We got some expert advice about how to do it. We asked moms from around the country why they left the work force. I left the work force to focus on my family. Because i didnt have a Maternity Leave i stayed home with my first baby. And why theyre looking to come back now. I have so much still to do, give and achieve. Finding the right Work Life Balance so i can provide myself personal fulfillment outside of the family. I want to continue on my journey. Bay area native annie sunn recently decided she wanted to reenter the work force after leaving her career in the mortgage industry six years ago to raise her two kids. Theres a lot of convincing people that stay at home mom still has skills. Annie updated her linkedin with a care giving break under experience. She posted a call to action highlighting the skills she honed as a stayathome mom such as time management, multitasking and problem solving. Another challenge for me is what career can i get into where it allows flexibility to care for kids at home . Shes not alone. When offered, 87 of workers embrace the opportunity for Flexible Work and spend an average of three days a week working from home. Having a job where more flexibility is embedded into it allows more opportunities for more women to engage in pele paid labor. For moms looking to reenter the labor force they can follow annies lead by embracing their caregiving break and highlighting associated skills, tapping into their networks and expanding the search beyond their original industry. According to linked in, 51 of employers are more likely to contact a candidate that provides context about their career break. You can list important child raising and parent care taking skills like multitasking, time management, planning, budgeting. Many of these soft skills, george, are the most in demand. Employers look at it as, we can teach you the things you need to do for this job, but we cant teach you how to be the person to be great ate. The Biggest Issue for so many working moms is the rising cost of child care. Such an issue. We focus a lot on that on Good Morning America. Those rising child care costs, the lack of child care options. They have prevented some women from reentering the work force or it just makes for a constant stress on moms who do work. More Flexible Work has played a huge role in bringing moms back and alternative forms of child care and new businesses like we care that we have also focused on here have also propped up. George, the bottom line is solving child care. Critical to getting women back to work. Absolutely. Thank you, rebecca. Michael . Thank you, george. Now to a gma health alert on the dangerous new Health Care Trend that some are referring to as budget ozempic where people are attempting to use lax l laxatives as a weight loss tool. Sales of the over the counter medication increased by over quarter billion dollars over the last few years. The trend is growing in popularity due in part in effect of tik tok. Our chief medical correspondent dr. Jennifer ashton is here with the warning. I see you shaking your head already. Yeah. Tell us about this. What is this dangerous trend . Tell us about it. First of all, im glad were talking about it. Say it with me, michael. People should not get their medical advice on tik tok unless its from a person who has a couple of initials after their name. This is a perfect example of that. These drugs work differently. Obviously i see the reasoning for this because ozempic is so expensive and so popular now. Totally different pharmacology. This is not something people should be following. What are the risks . Well, listen, over the counter, are drugs. They come with possible risks and side effects including bloating, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, if used in extreme cases, light headedness or dizziness, even fainting. They can worsen a gi condition if taken incorrectly or inappropriately. Gastroenterologists will tell you this is not candy and it shouldnt be used like that. Youre Board Certified in obesity medicine. What is the approach . Well, look. There is a pyramid, and it is the Gold Standard in managing obesity and the condition of obesity over life for everyone attention to food and fitness is at the bottom of that pyramid. It is essential. For many people with obesity, fda approved weight loss medications like the wegovy and ozempics are there. For some people baria trick surgery. This is the cold standard. I love your advice. If they dont have a few initials after their name. Were not talking about jr. And sr. Thank you very much. George . Thank you. Nicu Awareness Month and the survival story of twins born at just 22 weeks they are two of the youngest twins ever to survive premature birth thanks to their parents and a team of doctors at the Cleveland Clinic. Reporter it is hard to believe just 11 months ago twins could fit in the palm of your hand. They are now home with their family. At just 21 weeks pregnant, kim thomas learned she was 4centimeters dilated. I was scared. Reporter just halfway through her pregnancy with twins. Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic say they did their best to stop her labor. The odds for survival is very low. Reporter but her labor progressed and the twins were born on october 12, 2022 at just 22 weeks and 1 day old. Both babies not even a pound. They were rushed to the nicu with the odds against them. They said even if they do survive, its not likely they will make it the first three days. I know they wont remember, but it was hard for them. Reporter the staff say they had never worked with babies this tiny. They fit in the palm of my hand. Her extended hand wasnt even big enough to cover my thumb nail. This is the smallest diaper we have here. Even this tiny diaper was large on them. Reporter from a collapsed lung to a brain bleed kim and dj say the first few months were a roller coaster. But they never gave up hope. Almost new years we were like, okay. We got this. Thats when they finally got to meet each other. Reporter the nurses making sure each milestone was celebrated with special photo shoots. After 138 days in the nicu, the twins, still needing supplemental oxygen, were ready to go home, complete with a celebration, officially the youngest surviving premature twins born at the Cleveland Clinic. Everyone showed up. When i say every doctor that worked on them, pretty much all the nurses that were there. This is quite an emotional moment for us. I did have my doubts on day 1 that we would see that day. It made it that much more incredible when it came. They are just so sweet. The twins turn 1 next month and are doing great. By the way, the youngest preemies to ever survive were born only one day earlier than dj and kamai. They are a true marvel of modern medicine. Arent they . Absolutely. What a beautiful miracle. Thank goodness for that incredible hospital staff and medical team. Thanks for bringing us that story, rhiannon.
