Wheel again . And saved at sea. A fishing boat with dozens on board crashing into rocks, taking on water. Passengers scrambling for life rafts, waiting desperately to be rescued. We were in the right place at the right time for those people. How Good Samaritans got there in the nick of time. And good morning, america. Happy labor day. Great to have paula faris here. Great to be here. Thanks for the invite, george. We hope youre having a safe and enjoyable Holiday Weekend so far. This morning all eyes are on hermine, tracking north. Warnings and watches are in place along the coastline. Its still ruining the holiday for millions even as the storm spins into the atlantic. Beaches are closed to swimmers this morning after red flag warnings like this one in bradley beach, new jersey. Look at ocean city on sunday. Those winds are so high right there blowing sand all across the shore. Now lets take a look live at that beach right now. Should be pretty packed this labor day. Those waves are hitting pretty hard right there. Ginger, even though the worst may have passed, you still have the danger of rip currents. Right, thats where the impacts will be, in the ocean. For anybody planning to go to the beach or in the ocean, thats the storm. Inland, everyone seems to have a decent time because this storm is so far east. At this point post Tropical Cyclone hermine is south and east of long island. It is moving north. It will turn back to the north and west, so eastern long island, parts of coastal rho island, nantucket there, all in Tropical Storm warning and advisories and warnings stretch all the way down to virginia because it is that piling up of surf and water that does this that youre about to see where gio benitez is this morning in holegate, new jersey. Reporter hey, ginger, good morning to you. This is just incredible. I want you to compare this with my height. Take a look right here. This is a massive dune here. The waves were just as high, tearing away at this dune and tearing away at your Holiday Weekend. Off the midatlantic coast, hermine showing her power. Causing coastal erosion on the jersey shore. Rolling up the eastern seaboard, sending high winds up to 70 Miles Per Hour. Out in the atlantic, a rough ride for passengers on board royal caribbeans anthem of the seas, heading to bermuda. In the restaurant, dishes going all over the place. Reporter a warning for beach goers with hermine creating some of the strongest rip currents of the summer. Were probably going to have a lot of guards down by the jetty with the rip currents. Reporter the threat leaving many beaches closed on the unofficial final days of summer. This morning many residents cleaning up after hermine rocked the coastal south over the weekend. We lost the deck. Reporter in florida, some residents still battling rising waters. I look out my window and we have an otheren on the front porch. Reporter thousands spending Labor Day Weekend without power. There is a lot of water that still has to have month throuve our county so were not out of the woods yet. Reporter back out here live on long beach island, take a look at the water, the surf is rough, dangerous. The beaches are here closed so if you live near the coast, just dont get in the water. And thats the warning we want everyone to listen to this morning. Thank you, gio. I think a lot of people are waking up and watching this morning and saying where did the storm go. It was so sunny, so beautiful and im waking up again to a mix of sun and clouds. Let me explain this to you. As of saturday morning the forecast position on all the computer models that we love was taking it very close to the coast. If that had happened we would have been in huge trouble. Heres what actually happened. The low went east. It just kept moving east so every time we kept thinking its going to turn north now and then it wouldnt. Right about here is where it went wrong. It should have gone north there as far as the computer models were concerned but it wanted to give us a safer, better Holiday Weekend. Thank goodness it went wrong. I was wondering that. Thanks for the explanation. Breaking news overseas. President obama is in china for the g20 summit reading with Vladimir Putin to discuss syria and how to fight isis. The president will be speaking shortly but bob woodruff is in china with the latest. Reporter yes, that meeting of the two president s lasted much longer than anybody expected, about an hour and a half. Still no agreement, but they will continue to talk about this to try to reduce this violence there in syria. Now, secretary of state john kerry also tried to get an agreement with his russian counterpart for the past two days, but that failed as well. The hope is to work out a ceasefire between syrias leader, bashar assad. The goal is to figure out a way for the u. S. And russia to Work Together to target extremist groups like isis. North korea launched three Ballistic Missiles. Very interesting that it happened while the most powerful leaders are meeting. North korea does like to impress the world with growing threats and this time the u. S. President is less than 700 miles away from the spot where these missiles were fired. Paula, george . Provocative right there. We move on now to the race for the white house. Kicking off a home stretch this labor day with both candidates hard at work in the key states of ohio. Mary bruce is on the trail in cleveland with the latest. Good morning, mary. Reporter george, good morning. No rest for chin tan and trump today with the election just 64 days away the candidates will be making competing pitches to voters here in the key state of ohio as he enter the final fall stretch. This morning as the candidates start their sprint to the finish, a first for donald trump. Trump visiting an africanamerican church in detroit on saturday, swaying along and making a rare direct appeal. I fully understand that the africanamerican has suffered from discrimination and that there are many wrongs that must still be made right. Reporter a softer tone from trump after weeks of fiery pitches to almost all white crowds. Im asking for the vote of every single africanamerican citizen. Youre living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, what the hell do you have to lose . Reporter but no change in tone when it comes to Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton is the most dishonest candidate for president of the United States since richard nixon. Reporter trumps running mate on the attack after the fbi released new documents in the investigation of clintons emails, telling investigators she relied heavily on her staff to mark and handle classified information and she did not know the letter c in emails stood for classified. Her running mate coming to her defense. These notes demonstrate clearly why the fbi saw no need for additional criminal proceedings. Reporter meanwhile clinton is noticeably quiet on the campaign trail as she makes a final summer dash for cash, fundraising with big donors and still largely ignoring the press. Its now been 275 days since her last full blown press conference. Is this going to change . All the time as hillary is on the trail, shes talking to the press, hundreds of interviews. Im doing the same. The labor day to election day stretch is going to ramp up even more. Reporter still no word on when clinton will hold her next press conference but when she lands here in ohio later today it will be on a new plane with her press corps on board. Mary bruce, thanks very much. Im here with matt dowd, political analyst. Labor day used to be considered the start of the president ial campaign. Now its the beginning of the end. Lets look at where things stand right now. After a rough start in August Donald trump has tightened things up a bit. Yeah, the race has trended back to where it was preconvention when hillary and the democrats had a Great Convention and donald trump made a series of errors. Its gone back to a three or four point race. The interesting thing about this race, somebody could win this with 43 or 44 of the vote which changes the dynamics in states and demography. You have two other candidates in there, jill stein and gary johnson. Johnson doing fairly well, approaching 10 in some polls but can he make a real difference if he doesnt get into those debates . It looks like he wont get into the debates because he has to get an average of 15 . He can allow either candidate to lower their barrier that they need to win so donald trump can underperform with minorities and still win the presidency. Hillary clinton can underperform with white voters and still win the presidency. And that debate september 26, scheduled for september 26, still the biggest x factor. As you know, george, anything can happen in the next 60 or 62 days but the debates will determine this. Hillary clinton can either put donald trump away or donald trump can get right back in this race, overcome this lid he seems to have at 40 or 41 . Both candidates need that debate in a way because they both are entering the home stretch with such high negatives. They have two huge liabilities that i think the debate is crucial for each of them. Donald trump has to prove that hes president ial and doesnt make the country feel insecure in some of the manner with which he relates to them, and Hillary Clinton as we heard from the piece has to solve this trust problem that she has that continues to weigh her down. If you were her would you do a full blown press conference before the debate . Yes. Absolutely. Do a Chris Christie style press conference where you go for an hour and a half, exhaust the press by standing there taking one after another. Then you can clean up things at the debate. Matthew dowd, thanks very much. September 26 going to be must see tv. Horns. You had to get that in there. I was conflicted. Welcome horns. Politics and sports with matt dowd. Good to see youre not one dimensional. Thank you. Amusement ride accidents making headlines this monday morning from chicago to memphis where 8 people were taken to the hospital after lap bars opened on the ride before it came to a full stop. Eva pilgrim is here with the latest. Reporter a terrifying trend, the absolute last thing you want to happen.

Reporter and that appears to be the case in this most recent accident in memphis. The ride operator panicked and hit a button that released the safety bars before the ride was actually in the cradle. Reporter the association representing carnival operators telling abc news injuries are rare and that of the more than a billion carnival rides americans take each year only 13,000 people suffered injuries requiring emergency room visits.

Superstar Dale Earnhardt jr. Sitting out the rest of the season for health reasons. Hes 41 now so his future in the sport may be in doubt. T. J. Holmes is here with the latest. This is not the biggest name in racing, this is a legendary name. Earn art. He says he will not race again this year because of an issue were used to hearing associated with football, concussions. Now we dont know when hes going to be in that race car again. His doctor says hes just trying to get him to be a human being again. I think its the right decision considering how i feel. Reporter Dale Earnhardt jr. , the most popular driver in nascar, says hes not fit to drive. I definitely dont belong in a race car today by any stretch of the imagination. Reporter and wont return to racing this year because of complications from a concussion he suffered in this crash Dale Earnhardt jr. Reporter at the michigan speedway back in june. Earnhardt says he didnt feel any symptoms until weeks after the crash. He hasnt been seen behind the wheel since july 9 as hes continued a slow and difficult recovery. I struggled with my eyes for a while and im starting to see improvements there. My balance is miles better than it was. Reporter this comes on the heels of his announcement that hes donating his brain to concussion research. In response to a Sports Illustrated story about nfl players doing the same, earnhardt tweeted in march, what use is it to you at that point . Im going to donate mine. Earnhardt has suffered several concussions in his career, including two in 2012, the first during a test drive in kansas where he blew a tire and slammed the wall. Then just two months later spinning out of control in a Chain Reaction crash during the race at the talladega superspeedway. This is at least his fourth concussion hes had in his career. Hes going to wait and try next year. He said hes aiming for next season he plans to be back in that car but says he even has trouble walking down the sidewalk. He said sometimes i need more space walking down the sidewalk. If you cant do that you dont need to be going 200 Miles Per Hour in a car.

J. , thanks very much. U. S. Open time, its a big day today. Both serena and venous williams take the court. We all want to see that. Nick watt is tracking all the action this morning. Hi, nick. Good morning. We may never see the likes of Serena Williams ever again. Shes chalking up records, shes on the brink of sporting immortality. The only thing possibly standing in her way, maybe some big nerves on big occasion and maybe her big sister venous. Game face, check, kpegs sleeves, check, serena is ready to make history, pull varizing her opponent for her 307th grand slam, world record, the most ever by a woman and tied with Roger Federer for the most wins ever by a human being. I want to keep that number going higher and see what can happen. Reporter and if serena lifts the trophy here this week, it will be a recordbreaking 23rd grand slam trophy and a record 7th u. S. Open crown. But shes on a collision course to meet sister venus in the semifinals, the best sister act in sports, 36 years young venus, this weekend, crushing an opponent ten years her junior. That energy when match point rolled up and im like, im right at home. Reporter dominating the court since the turn of the century, two more wins apiece and that semifinal showdown is on. And we might not see many more. Oh, and serena says those compression sleeves make her think of a superhero. Me too. Super serena. Its got a ring to it. Serena tips her hat to the trailblazers who came before her, billie jean king, but she says that female athletes are still treated differently than men. Shes trying to do her best to readjust that balance, but you know, its a tough one. But today shes playing today. If she wins today, shell become the winningest grand slam player ever. She will eclipse the great Roger Federer. Enough said. There was a big upset on the mens side. Nadal out. Clearing the way for andy murray to win the whole thing.

This morning there are a lot of people thankful for Good Samaritans who came to their rescue and were hear from them coming up. Now to new questions about Jonbenet Ramseys death. Nearly 20 years after the pageant queen was murdered, her father is speaking out in a new documentary. David wright is here with the story. Hard to believe it was 20 years ago that Jonbenet Ramsey case was Media Obsession but never solved. Now its the focus of a twohour documentary debuting tonight on a e. Reporter she was a 6yearold beauty queen found strangled to death in the basement of her parents upscale home in boulder, colorado the morning after christmas 1996. We lost our child. We were devastated. Reporter a cold case that is still officially open. We have not and will not give up. We remain focused on this investigation and finding justice for jonbenet. Reporter the case file bulging with 1500 pieces of evidence, including 200 dna samples and 20,000 tips and leads. Boulder police interviewed some 1,000 people in 18 states, but are still no closer to catching the killer. This person murdered jonbenet.

It didnt matter. We had lost our child. Thats what mattered. Reporter this new a and emt documentary is the first of several crime shows hoping to shed new light on this cold case. A lot like those o. J. Simpson shows from last year. If jonbenet had survived she would be 26 years old. Incredible. Thank you, david. And that documentary, the killing of jonbenet, the truth uncovered, premieres tonight. We want to move now to a bizarre twist in a legal battle between exes. A woman claims her former fiance abused her but now this video right here which shows her apparently hitting herself is raising some serious questions and abc news linzie janis is here with the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning, paula. She says her millionaire fiance beat her. He says she beat herself, then tried to frame him. He also says she stole millions of dollars in jewelry from him before calling off their wedding. This morning, this disturbing video is at the center of a he said she said breakup thats spiralled into a nasty legal fight between a millionaire businessman and his ex fiance. Mary hunt, seen here apparently hitting herself in a fit of rage. Attorneys for 45yearold Scott Mitchell releasing selected clips from his Home Security system to refute hunts claims that her former fiance was abusive, giving her a black eye. Theres no evidence Scott Mitchell was ever physically abusive. This was her response to a disagreement, she just started hitting herself about the face and body and screaming. Reporter but hunts Attorney Says mitchell was abusive, and that the 29yearolds black eye was from an argument with mitchell a week after this incident. He emotionally abused her, physically abused her. He was enraged because on that very day she cancelled the wedding plans with a wedding planner. Reporter lunts lawyer pointing to this Video Evidence of his temper. Please stop, my keys are inside. Where are they . In the bedroom. I dont feel safely going inside. He is incapable of controlling his emotions and when he doesnt get what he wants, he will go to any length. Reporter the bad blood escalated after a bad breakup. Mitchell now suing hunt, accusing her of stealing 2 million worth of jewelry. Hunt is now facing criminal charges for the alleged heist which she vehemently denies. Hunt has been charged with grant theft. Her attorney is meeting with state prosecutors this week and hopes to get that charge dropped. Paula . Thanks. The video of her striking herself is stuff to watch. Really strange. Coming up on our big board, the truth about your soef. The fda banning the sale of some hand wash and the latest on the Colin Kaepernick controversy. Pleegs threatening to boycott games. Hi mom. Grandma oh threatening to boycott games. O. Games. Ic threatening to boycott games. E threatening to boycott games. Like to have shingles. S what it can be a painful blistering rash. Oh mom. If you had chickenpox the shingles virus is already inside you. One in three people will get shingles in their lifetime. Grandma, want to play . Maybe later sweetie. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about a vaccine that can help prevent shingles. But theres so much more to it. Heres how benefiber® works. Inside us are trillions of good microflora that support digestive health. The prebiotic fiber in benefiber® nourishes them. And what helps them, helps you. Clear, tastefree, benefiber®. Its time for the big board. Our team of insiders weigh in on todays top stories including dr. Jen ashton. We begin with a big announcement from the fda. The agency is banning the sale of many antibacterial soaps saying the industry has failed to prove they are safe and effective. Dr. Whitney bowe is here. I think this is going to come as a surprise to a lot of people. Some of these antibacterial soaps no more effective than soap and water so how did the fda arrive at this decision . Its the fdas job to weigh the risk versus the benefits. In this case the risks outweighs the benefits. There are two main Health Concerns when it comes to including these antibacterial ingredients such as triclosen. One being that theyre thought to promote the growth of antibioticresistant bacteria otherwise known as super bugs and the other being that there are some animal studys showing that they might actually affect hormones. So the soap industry, when they failed to actually present compelling evidence showing that these antibacterial soaps were any more effective at spreading germs than your ordinary soap and water, thats when the fda made their official ruling. I guess you use regular soap and water. Some products are going to remain on the market that do contain these chemicals. Why is that . It comes back to that risk versus benefit ratio. Theres a toothpaste, colgate title that contains trikoesen. By including that ingredient youre preventing gum disease. In that case, the benefits outweigh the risks. But in general, that being said, i think that all of these ingredients are going to be under much closer scrutiny moving forward. I can still find my Hand Sanitizer on the shelves, correct . For now, yes. We want to move now to football. Were talking about the growing controversy around Colin Kaepernicks refusal to stand during the National Anthem overnight. Soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe from the Womens National team, she was kneeling during the anthem in soul daerl as the Santa Clara Police union plans to boycott. We have our legal analyst who joins us now. Ive got to ask you, the president of the police union said, quote, the 49ers are allowing this to come out from an employees and its making for a hostile Work Environment for us at the stadium. From a legal standpoint, do they have a valid argument against the 49ers organization . Not really. Feeling disrespected and even insulted is not tantment to workplace harassment. Federal and state law make it very clear, you need severe and pervasive intimidating conduct and language based on race, oregon jen. Kaepernicks refusal to stand for the National Anthem and even wearing socks that have pigs dressed in Police Uniforms just dont meet that requirement. I dont see any basis here for the police union failing to comply with its legal obligation to provide security to the team. So i think this argument is not going very far as it relates to the police union. But its really clear that kaepernicks actions have stirred up anger towards him, towards the 49ers. Lets say the 49ers suspend him, release him. They could then face legal ramifications, correct . Great question, george. Absolutely. If the team were to release kaepernick soully because hes exercising his First Amendment right to not stand for the National Anthem, they would face probably a pretty big retaliation lawsuit. I think its interesting to note in this case, kaepernicks jersey sales have increased dramatically during this entire controversy. Yeah, hes number one right now in jersey sales. Okay, thank you very much. We move on now to a story sounding alarms about sperm donations. A man who fathered 36 children has turned himself in to police, admitted he lied to the company about his background. Dr. Jen ashton here for more on that. He was presented to parents as a healthy person, intelligent person, well educated. Turns out hes a College Dropout suffering from schizophrenia. How does this happen . He was presented that way to parents because thats how he presented himself. When youre talking about sperm donation, two separate issues, medical screening and sigh co social screening. The communicable diseases, the sperm is quarantined and if its cleared its use. Psycho social has regulations. Each individual sperm bank will have their own. Yes, they do background checks. Yes, they should ask for college trapts scripts but the bottom line is people can still lie. When you talk about those 36 children, very frightening and you can trace obviously the identity of the sperm donor so it will be revealed to those parents, but we have to remember again etices and Family History is one part of the puzzle. Its not a guarantee theyll go town the same road. This was an anonymous sperm donor but lets say the parties in many cases they actually know one another. In that situation are the rules different . Some are and some are not. You would like to think if you know the person, a directed sperm donor, then there would be greater honesty, transparency. Then the psycho social screening, of course psychologists and social workers still evaluate those donors because this is really a big deal. There are a lot of women out there listening to this right now that may not have a significant other in their life but do want to start a family and theyre considering this so what do they need to be aware of . Ask a ton of questions. You have those rights. And the clinic should be transparent and forthcoming. They should be accredited, licensed and people working there should be board certified. Take your time. This is a massive decision. It is. Theres a legal angle to this as well. Police say that ago alice admitted to falsifying information but hasnt admitted to anything yet. Is this a crime . It could be. I think were going to hear and learn more about this as the investigation continues. But making false statements in a situation like this could lead to criminal prosecution, and we shouldnt forget that there are probably going to be some pretty massive civil lawsuits as well because the women that received this sperm have claims that they were not given the sperm screening by this clinic was not done consistent with what they had expectations of. So this is a case we should watch because there are possible criminal and civil liabilities pending. Incomprehensible. Ladies, we want to say thank you. Dr. Jen ashton, thanks for the discussion. Coming up in two minutes, jesses got the story of an amazing water rescue. Weve been talking about it this morning. A boat with dozens on board crashing into rocks, taking on water. The Good Samaritans nearby who got there just in time. Im phil mickelson, pro golfer. My Psoriatic Arthritis caused joint pain. Just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. And i was worried about joint damage. My doctor said joint pain from ra. Can be a sign of existing joint damage. That could only get worse. He prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Tell your doctor if youve been someplace where fungal infections are common or if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for. Heart failure, or if you have persistent. Fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. Dont start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Joint pain and damage. Can go side by side. Ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. Enbrel, the number one rheumatologistprescribed biologic. Rm, flaky layers are on the inside. But lets just say its more than ever. Share the warmth of grands biscuits, now with even more flaky layers its baking season. Warm up with pillsbury. Whats going on here . Im val, the orange money retirement squirrel from voya. Were putting away acorns. You know, to show the importance of saving for the future. So youre sort of like a Spokes Person . More of a spokes metaphor. Get organized at voya. Com. Back with that krshl rescue out of southern california. Two bodies people lucky to be alive thanks to Good Samaritans. Right place, right time. What a close call. The group was on a charter boat out of san diego that hit rocks off baja, california. Fortunately the crew of a nearby boat heard the calls for help and arrived within minutes. This morning 26 people have sweet marie to thank for their lives. A fishing expedition of 21 passengers and five crew members suddenly found themselves in trouble when their 63foot boat, the invicta, crashed into rocks at 5 00 in the Morning Saturday and began to take on water near san diego. I realized they were only about a mile and a half away, so i immediately got the radio and i said i would respond to the distress call.

I even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. But i wont go after anything with less than my best. So if i can go for Something Better than warfarin, ill do that too. Eliquis. Eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Plus, it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis had both. Thats what i wanted to know. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and, in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis make increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. I may not be going for the big one, but im still going for my best. And for eliquis. Reduced risk of stroke, plus less major bleeding. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. We want to welcome you back to gma on this labor day. We have a labor day headline that has a whole lot of people talking right now saying that less work may actually be more. A column in the Washington Post pointing out just how overworked americans truly are and how it could be hurting our success. Rebecca jarvis is back with a closer look. Reporter americans are trading sleep for work. According to the bureau of labor statistics, American Time survey. A wall street journal report touting the benefits of a 4 00 a. M. Wakeup call. Despite our predisposition against it. In fact, theres an entire ted talk devoted to wokefulness at that hour. Did you ever notice that 4 00 in the morning has become a meme or shorthand. It means Something Like you are awake at the worst possible hour. Reporter today half of us work more than 40 hours per week. Even though studies show too little sleep can make you less productive, less healthy, and less happy. And we want to welcome in Rebecca Jarvis right now. Welcome back, rebecca. We know that, windowi working l hours can lead to decreased health but does it lead to success . Theres a tradeoff here and thats the reality that everybody probably knows. What i dont think people necessarily know is it doesnt always equal success. There are no guarantees in this. Thats why there are people who are frustrated about this new world we live in where the expectation is really around the clock work but ultimately some people win from that around the clock work and a lot of people dont. A lot of people just work more hours. Youre talking about that expectation, really it is to clock in at sunrise and clock out at sunset, and people seem to even be bragging about this, dont they . You do hear more of it. More people bragging i worked 80 hours this week and you have social media now where people can actually time stamp it. Im up at the crack of down because you see my twitter account or facebook account in the post. I think technology has played into this. We are more accessible now than ever before. People have their iphone or blackberry in their palm at all hours of the day. Our bosses, our managers know this, and therefore we are called upon to work at many more hours of the day than even ten years ago we were. And this particular article says our productivity decreases after 55 hours, everyone. Listen up. Thats the bosses we want to listen up. That was a subtle message to everybody out there. What is the tradeoff for working long hours . I think, well, one of the things is that a lot of Research Shows like youre saying that productivity declines but also the more work people do beyond a certain point, beyond that 55hour mark, the more correlation we have to greater stress in our lives, a less healthy lifestyle. So there is that not only just the feeling tradeoff but the actual physical tradeoff of more work. There are people out there who can probably work more hours. Some people will argue it doesnt have an impact on me, i love my work, its not a job to me. Okay, thats the case for plenty of people, but there are people in work places who, once you get past that 40, 50 hour mark it becomes detrimental. Amazon has been experimenting with a 30hour work week but those that choose this, are they going to be stereo typed as killing their career . What i think is interesting about what amazon is testing is everyone is on it. Its a Pilot Program but from the manager on down, everyone is working 30 hours a week and thats very different than saying the boss works 50 and the rest of the team works 30. So there isnt going to be a double standard. And 40 of us arent taking our vacations. Everybody take your vacation because we need them. Happy lay day.

The 15th anniversary of 9 11 comes sunday and now we remember one of that days heros, wells crowder. Tom rinaldi tells his story in the new book the man in the red bandanna. We take a look back at a remarkable man. When wells crowder was six his father gave him his first red bandana. He loved having that red bandana and always had it with him. Including when he volunteered as a firefighter at 16. After college wells took a job as an equities trader working on the 104th floor of the world trade center. But the good money and great view werent enough. Wells called me one day and said, you know dad, i think i want to change my career. I think i want to be a new york city firefighter. September 11th, 2001 came before wells could switch careers, but on that terrible day wells became a hero. You heard this mans voice say, i found the stairs, follow me. Survivors remember a man wearing a red bandana who guided so many to safety at his own p peril. When i heard the news that the tower had come down, i knew in my heart of hearts that wells was gone. It was just a mothers heart knowing. Sorry. Wells was eventually uncovered from the rubble alongside a group of new york city firefighters. To know that wells in a figurative sense took off the equity trader hat and put it on the table, picked up his helmet, firefighters helmet, and went to work, for me, that was an incredible, incredible thing to know. For anyone who now knows his story, were now here with espns tom rinaldi, hes telling his story in the new book the man in the red bandanna. We have our audience over there wearing red bandanas in memory of wells as well. He first started to wear that bandana because he wanted to be like his dad. Exactly. Like how many boys, george, he idolized everything his father did. Theyre getting dressed for church one morning and sees his dad wearing a pocket square and asks if he can wear one. His father fears maybe its to blow his nose so he gave him that red bandana and wells carried that essentially the rest of his life. And that became the key to actually finding him. One of the parts of this story, george, is there are so many Great Stories of heroism. You know, you were down there, you covered 9 11. But this one clue unearthed this one story. For wells, several survivors had pointed to this man wearing a red bandana to shield himself from all the smoke on the 78th floor sky lobby, a scene of terrible, terrible carnage where as many as 200 had been killed. We cant know for sure how many he saved but we know it was several. What a heartstopping story, he guided several people to safety, makes sure theyre okay and then says im going back up. And i think that right there, george, poses the question at the center of the book. He guides this first group down. Ling yung is heard in the setup piece there, theyre on the 61st floor. The only thing he says is im going back up. All of us asked the question at some point, what would we do faced with that decision, a lifechanging, life at stake choice. And the choice he made was to go back up, and as a result, more lives were saved. The story you tell in a way shows that everything in his life led up to that decisive moment. Thats right. The story unfolds from three parts, three 9 11, 9 11 and the legacy of that day. All of the institutions, his family, community, sports teams, his local firehouse that helped instill the character that ultimately in that moment of truth, the final hour of his life, he called on all of that to make this decision. And as you point out hes one of many heros but he is being remembered in many special ways. He is. Its been a wonderful thing to see the growth of his legacy. I think maybe it came in its most startling fashion when president obama dedicated the opening of the 9 11 Memorial Museum in the footprint of the fallen towers, 2,977 died that die, president obama chose to mention one person by name, one. Wells crowder, the man in the red bandana. This book, the man in the red bandanna, a great tribute. Thanks for coming in. Thank for having me. Available in stores and online. Right now lets go outside to ginger. I love this, george. These ladies have been the loudest. I said which is cfvhs. Cade field Valley Health system.

The laughing cow. Reinvent snacking. If im chasing ghosts, put my hand in the flame that is gavin degraws new hit she sets the city on fire. Hes going to be performing live on this lay day just ahead. I cant wait for his album which comes out later. Thats coming out friday. Right now an inspiring story of one mans rise from poverty and power. The gentleman from ohio has an autobiography written about louis stokes. He served 15 terms in the house of representatives. He was a giant in congress, a loving father at home and robin sat down with lori stokes, our friend and colleague at wabc here in new york to talk about her fathers legacy. Good to see you, lori. Just tell us the kind of man he was. Humble, gracious, um, warm, funny, aggressive in a way of what was right and what needed to be done, particularly when it came to his constituents and living his life. He was considered a champion of the people, champion of the poor. But he didnt really set out to be a politician, did he . No, no. He did not. He set out to be a lawyer, and that started when he was 12 years old. When he was going to a boy scout meeting, he was pulled over by police who asked him where are you going, why are you here, where have you been. He sort of had this dream that he, too, could be a great lawyer, and he would also be able to defend those who had had, right or wrong, been accused of something, but that he knew that that was his destiny. Tell people about your uncle, his brother. And theyre so different. I know, i know. My uncle carl was the first africanamerican mayor of a major u. S. City. He was my fathers baby brother. How does it feel, the president of the United States, barack obama, before his election, pointed to your father and your uncle saying because of them he could become president of the United States. Thats how praise. He said i just have to say, senator obama, i am 83 years old, and never in my lifetime did i think that i would see a qualified africanamerican to be the president of the United States. How did your father influence you in the decisions that youve made and where you are here, a prominent anchor here in new york city . He always drummed in all of our heads, do what makes you happy. I dont care what you do. Just do what makes you happy. I followed the dream to go into jurnism and went to howard university. He also got a kick out of being able to say that i was no longer lou stokes daughter but that he was lori stokes father. I bet he got a kick out of that. We had a beautiful relationship. What do you want someone picking up the book, lori, what do you want them to get from his story . This is our american history. This is a story of a little black boy who was born in 1925 to a single mom who was a domestic, who would take several trolley cars to leave him and his younger brother to go clean other peoples homes, who had a grandmother who would take care of him, who had a dream to walking from poverty to the halls of congress, to having so many beautiful stories and a family that he loved to the core. He would always end by saying that he was so blessed. Its palpable your love and your pride, and i know it was returned. I know how proud he was of you. Yeah. Thank you, lori. Thanks so much. Thank you. You can see the pride in loris face. I had the good fortune of working with congressman spokes early in my career and he was a leader with such grace. Lets go outside to ginger. I am loving this crowd today. So from corn fields to skyscrapers, your name . Add alynn. And still going to see wind gusts as hermine is far out in the parts of the ocean, it will head slightly northwest youll see beach erosion and rip currents are a concern. Check out the heat, the heat will spread to the east and the northeast will cook back up. New york city, 93. Washington, d. C. , upper 90s. Hartford and philadelphia youre not out of that. Thats the big picture, lets get a check closer to home. Reporter no, we are not, ginger we are out from under the rain, though. We have sun breaking out across the region. Temperatures in the 50s and 60s heading for a high of 85. Rip currents and rough surf and coastal flooding at the shore this morning, things are getting better. Is the first year going . Wonderful, honestly. Just pretend hes not here. Just tell us. Hes my best friend. Aw. Wait, do you guys have any advice for them . Stay together, talk, talk, talk. I love this. This is like were having a big therapy session. Jesse, i know you got other folks over there. Really excited right now because im sitting here with Morris Chestnut and regina hall whos going to join us literally walking in as were talking. How are you . So good to see you. Thanks for being here. Theyre teaming up again on the big screen, this time in a psychological thriller called when the bough breaks. They play a seemingly happy but childless couple who hire a young woman as a surrogate and invite her to live with them and that sets their lives on a dangerous path. Take a look. Are you serious . Yes, we talked about it and we feel more comfortable knowing that youre here, at least most of the time. And knowing that youre safe. Now you are doing this incredible thing for us. Its the least we can do. Let us do something nice for you. Okay . Okay. Thank you. Wow. Guys, welcome and thank you so much for being here on a holiday. I have to say, i guarantee there are so many women at home watching that scene and saying to themselves there is no way i would let that young woman come live with me. What did you guys think . You know, she didnt look like that in the interview, let me just be very clear. She looked like a little girl. Shes living in the guest house. Exactly. Not inside the main house. And she trusts her husband. And there were circumstances that led to that invitation because at that point shes carrying our baby. I think this movie really explores the emotional roller coaster between infertility and surveillance gasy and some of the legal issues that go along with that. How is that for you as actors to sort of explore those sorts of emotions . It was dpragreat. I have a few friends who are going through it currently and going through it back then and they dont have kids and they have to go through the whole fertility system. Its a very emotional roller coaster. Of course youre a dad. Im a father, yes. How did that help you prepare for this role . What helped me was i figured out i had to take myself to a place to where if i didnt have my kids and how much i wanted to have kids at that time. I really felt it. You guys had a chance to work before on comedies or socalled draum adis. How was this to work on a thriller together . We worked in movies before but this is the first time i felt like morris has been mine. In other movies hes on the Love Interest of somebody else in the films but this is the first time we got to Work Together and i think being able to do it in a different genre, for me it was wonderful. It was. It was incredible working with her because shes an incredible person, incredible actress. We had such an emotional film that we were shooting and just working with regina every day on the set, she has a lot of wit and humor. It was great. You had said you felt this script was one that could have been written for anybody but you were happy they chose an all africanamerican cast. Do you feel that africanamericans are getting more of an opportunity in hollywood today . I mean, i loved the script and what i loved about it was more that it is a story thats universal. I think all women of all races and all ages deal with the concept of infertility. So the opportunity to play something that was a universal theme was wonderful. I think its like a rubber band. It gets better and then sometimes it doesnt and i think right now its a really when we read the script it was colorless. It was raceless and thats what i loved about it. It was just characters in the situation and that was what was great about it. Congratulations on all your success. Thank you so much for being here with us on holiday. When the bough breaks is going to open on friday. Coming up, andy samberg oneonone doing impressions and talking storks. Thats next. Blinds to gos new motorized blinds and shades. Quiet. Convenient.

Andy samberg is one of americas favorite funnymen and now his humor is heading to the big screen in the animated comedy called storks. Abcs nick watt got to go oneonone and is back to tell us about it. I bet you laughed a lot. I did. He describes this movie as being a place where the rules of physics do not apply, full of heart, off the wall, wacky, funny. These are all words i would use to describe andy samberg himself. Reporter storks, so this story goes no longer deliver babies but packages. Our new phone im like the top gun. Im aiming to be boss. We can get there through here reporter by mistake he gets back in the baby game. His nemesis pigeon towedy. I feel like a lot of people are going to be doing that voice and driving their kids nuts. You can do pretty much any voice you want, right . Thats an overstatement. Do my voice. Do my voice. Thats not that good. Thats not that good. Now you should do my voice. Now you should do my voice. Thats pretty good. What are you doing with your life. Be on snl. Picture him in a booth voicing this. I built my office entirely out of glass even though birds cant see glass. I do not. Power move. Hes a god. Side show bob. He would do vocal warmups and every now and again he would break out a little taste of side show bob and everyone in the room would be like are you improvising . Theres a lot of improv and nick stoller whos in the booth with us throwing out ideas. It does have a slightly andy samberg feel to it. Theres a looseness. Reporter recently samberg has been working on a series of mock you mmtryes. Its an im mall gum of everything and everyone in pop culture. Everyone wanted it to be bieber i found. Makes a better story. Yeah but i felt like isnt bieber okay now . Reporter back to storks. This is a movie about big brothers wanting Little Brothers and frazzled parents too busy for their off spring. Dont make me the mean mom. Reporter sound familiar on a couple of levels . Moms are fun too. I didnt know that was jennifer aniston. Then weve done our job. Reporter it also raises the delicate subject where do babies actually come from. We need to tell him. Tell him what . I wonder if this movie will spark some of those conversations. I think it definitely will. Little timmy with his popcorn, daddy. I think thats a good thing. Reporter also a good thing, grammar, aniston, key and peele. Im going to devour this thing. Im going to be the new alpha. Reporter and samberg unleashed. That was funny. You almost died. Now, the only disappointment is this whole idea that storks bring babies, i looked into it. Its in mythology and various cultures around the world and its nonnens. Its based on storks being monogamous for life and they dont. Youre telling us be prepared to have that conversation with your child or children. Yes. And it can be a little uncomfortable. Yes. But you do know how it works, right . No. Never mind. Storks hit theaters september 23rd. Coming up, the moment we have been waiting for. Gavin degraw is performing here live.

Andy grammer and i were on tour together and were from upstate new york. I spent a lot of my teenage time on that field. So going back there and playing there and doing a real hometown show was a great way to start the tour and get things kicking off. The song youre about to sing includes a lot of flashbacks to the 80s. Whats the story . Yeah, well, theres a story that we really do lift some of the story of sort of the steve jobs sort of story and a lot of tech stuff. So we bring in computers from the 1980s and stuff and the invention of face time and stuff like that. So we do play on that and of course we have the hottest girl in the world play the inventor.
