7:06 am
presidents broad immunity for actions taken in the course of their work. jack smith said he can accommodate the court and still prove trump committed crimes while in office. this morning special counsel jack smith filing a new indictment against former president trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. direct response to the recent supreme court ruling that granted president sweeping immunity for virtually all official acts of the executive branch. the key to smith's new legal strategy, a surgical argument that when trump was fighting to stay in power after he lost the election, he was acting as a private citizen and as a candidate, not in his official capacity as president. for example, the new indictment official responsibilities related to the certification proceedings, but he did have a personal interest as a candidate
7:07 am
in being named the winner of the election. the indictment goes on to state co-conspirators accused of helping trump sell lies about the election were people acting in a private capacity and none of them were government officials during the conspiracies. the new indictment charges trump with the same four crimes including conspiracy to defraud the united states, construct the certification of the vote on january 6 and conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one's vote counted. the indictment removes any mention of trump's alleged behavior that prosecutors believe could be considered official acts. the indictment came as justice brown jackson discussed the supreme court decision granting presidents broad immunity. she reiterated her dissent that the court had gone too far. >> i was concerned about a system that appeared to provide immunity for one individual under one set of circumstances. when we have a criminal justice
7:08 am

7:09 am
critical states, michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania, that key path way to the white house. it comes this morning as his campaign is high lighting the two former democrats who have joined the trump transition team, rfk jr., coming over just days after he dropped out of the race and endorsed trump, and also former governor gabbert. they have embraced trump and leaned into conspiracy theorys in recent years. donald trump is touting this as a sign democrats are coming across the aisle to support him. gio? >> gio: so many twists and turns in this case. thank you, mary, for covering it all. we're going to turn now the nationwide at&t outage overnight because of a software issue. senior correspondent aaron katersky is here with more. this issue has been resolved, but this isn't the first time customers have dealt with this. >> reporter: it's not, gio. in fact, we were probably having a similar conversation around this time last year. but now, at&t said a software issue disconnected customers from its wireless network instead of the usual bars of service in the corner of their phones, customers saw sos.
7:10 am
at&t said we apologize for the inconvenience. we appreciate our customers' patients as we work to resolve this issue. the outages seem to have started in the southeast, maybe florida, but within minutes spread across the country, affecting primarily iphones but some other devices. this happened one day after at&t agreed to pay $1 million to solve an investigation that found at&t failed to deliver 911 calls. this time sources told us that 911 service was not disrupted although a few departments across the country did take to social media to steer callers toward nonemergency numbers. this was all resolved in just a few hours. this morning at&t wireless service should be just fine. >> rebecca: each time it happens we see how dependent we are on our phones. we turn now to breaking news from the middle east. israeli forces have launched deadly raids in the west bank. our foreign correspondent britt clennett is in tel aviv with the

7:14 am
it's communicating with delta as these investigations continue. gio? >> gio: faith, you're there at the airport in atlanta, one of the busiest in the world, bracing for the labor day weekend. what can we expect as americans take off to their holiday destinations? >> reporter: well, overall across the country, the tsa is expecting to screen about 17 million passengers between tomorrow and next week, wednesday. now, that means a lot more people than last year at the same time and airports will be very busy, the busiest day is expected to be this thursday. busiest airport will be right here in atlanta. gio? >> gio: it just gets busier. get there early. all right, faith, thank you very much for that. whit? >> whit: now the growing concern over mosquito born viruses following what is believed to be the first death from the rare triple e virus. erielle reshef is here with more. officials trying to get ahead of this. good morning. >> reporter: health officials in

finding additional breast cancer screening could benefit some women with dense breasts and save lives. medical oncologist dr. elizabeth comen joins us with more. it is so nice to see you, doctor. this is such an important study. tell us more about it. >> thank you so much for having me. so this study was really important because it showed the addition of breast mri's through traditional mammography may improve the detection of breast cancer, particularly in women with dense breasts which is over 50% of the population of women over 40. now the caveat to this study is that while we know detecting cancers earlier can help save lives, there's a cost to that. so with breast mri's there's an increase in what we call false positives. that's when you're called back and they need a biopsy but that biopsy ends up being negative. i have had a biopsy myself and can say it can be anxiety

provoke. this study is important for women who have been recommended to get a breast mri that they talk to their doctor about the expectations. that they may be called back for something like a biopsy. >> rebecca: i have been called back for biopsies. not after an mri yet. i haven't had that done. it is something i talk to my doctor about and i felt better going into it because of that conversation. you also mention dense breasts. >> yes. >> rebecca: and these are lots and lots of women have them. >> exactly. over 50% of women over 40 have dense breasts. but there's a common misconception that you can feel this. if your breasts look perkier or feel a certain way or sag more, that that relates to breast density. breast density is a term that a ra radiologist finds on a mammogram. so very different than anything you can see or feel on physical exam. and the reason why this is so important to know is if you have dense breasts, it can be harder to detect a breast cancer on a mammogram.
8:17 am
dense breasts mean you have more what's called fibroglandular tissue. as related to fatty tissue. on a mammogram the fibroglandular tissue looks white. fatty tissue looks black. if your breasts are more dense, it's harder to see cancer because cancer can look white. it's like trying to find a snow flake in a snowstorm. mammograms are harder to detect breast cancers in dense breasts. >> rebecca: which is why then an mri becomes a possibility, ultrasounds as well. >> exactly. >> rebecca: starting on september 10th it will be mandatory to inform women of this. >> exactly. now the fda is requiring standard language so that women are informed when they get a mammogram if they have dense breasts. so if you've been told that you have dense breasts, it's incredibly important that you talk to your doctor about your personal risks for breast cancer, your family history and what that breast density means for you. it may mean that you need additional imaging such as with
8:18 am
an ultrasound or breast mri. >> rebecca: speaking of ultrasounds, mri's, mammograms. >> yes. >> rebecca: the science, or the acknowledgements around this have changed over the years, what women are supposed to do, when they're supposed to start. what is the date? what is the age now? >> there's been so much ping ponging back and forth. the preventive services task force lowered the age. so for women of average risk, you should start screening with breast mammograms at age 40. now, how do you determine your risk? there are tools online, breast cancer risk assessment tools you can do to determine your life time risk of breast cancer. if it's an average risk you would start screening at age 40. if you have a family history of breast cancer or other types of cancers or other personal risk factors you may need to start screening before age 40. >> rebecca: all right. dr. comen, thank you very much. we appreciate it. important conversation. >> thank you for having me. >> rebecca: time for pop news.

today we are with our friend former "baywatch" star nicole eggert. she is part of a new documentary that takes us behind the scenes and beyond the beach of the famous iconic show pop culture phenomenon. so nice to see you. >> thank you. it's so nice to be here. >> lara: so great to see you. we're very excited for this for us who watched the show. you know, it made us happy. it is iconic. it's part of our childhood, our teen years, or our adult years. [ laughter ] but more importantly, i know that you're in the midst of a battle against breast cancer. you've said that making this "after baywatch" was very cathartic for you. >> it was. in a lot of ways. i have a love/hate relationship with the show to begin with. to be at a place in my life where i have love and adoration for it, and be able to go back and do something that i'm really enjoying doing, kind of full circle. >> lara: take your mind off -- >> we started way before my diagnosis and before the
8:32 am
pandemic. we've been doing it 4 1/2 years, i believe. yeah. so it's been a labor of love, no doubt. yeah, i didn't want to stop. i just wanted to keep living and keep doing anything you can to keep your mind off the thing. that and a 13-year-old. >> lara: that will do it. >> rebecca: you had your 13-year-old's support, your family's support, your cast mates through all of this. what was it like to have this throughout the documentary? >> i have a very small family. it's really only me and my two girls left. i can't go anywhere. so that was really one of the hardest conversations i had to have with them. to see their reaction and to -- for their attitudes to be the way they were. you're just gonna get through this. this is something we're doing. >> lara: your daughter shaving your head. >> gio: look at that. >> she's so brave.
8:33 am
i look at her -- it keeps me going. they give me life because they're just so positive and they believe in me. that's the best feeling. >> gio: and that smile. that smile also keeps you going. i know that we all smile when we think of summer quinn, your character. it's been 30 years since you ended up on that beach. you were just 19 years old. >> i was. >> gio: do you have fun memories from that time? >> well, you know, first tried on the bathing suits and said, i really should have started working out. [ laughter ] that was the first. luckily i was only 19 so it wasn't too hard. then sort of they threw me in with a bunch of real life guards and we had to do a race. i thought, what have i got myself into? i am not qualified. it was a bit chaotic, to be honest. >> whit: let's talk about the docu series. this is a never before seen interview with one of your co-stars, pamela anderson. take a look. >> i don't think i have had a serious career but i have made it my own. i'm really proud of what i have
8:34 am
been able to accomplish with being exactly who i want to be. i'm proud of everything i have done. almost. >> whit: you've been in touch with a lot of your co-stars, pamela anderson, carmen elect tra, the hoff. what was it like reaching out to them trying to convince them to be part of the project? how did they react? >> to be honest, lot of cast members were easier than others. loft people distanced themselves from the show. >> lara: why do you think? >> i think because the stigma. maybe they didn't evolve to grow, to love it. we did get ripped apart for awhile. it was baywatch bimbos, then baywatch babes, then finally baywatch icons. lot of people don't want to have anything to do with the industry at all. like david hasselhoff was the first call i made. i said if he's on board and is excited, then we'll do this. and he was. i think they trusted me.
8:35 am
they knew i wanted to do something positive and creative. >> lara: yeah. you're one of their family members. they knew they were in good hands. you really got great access. people will see and learn things about what you went through and what the experience was like. very unfiltered. i think it's a must watch. have your children seen it? and what was it like to share even just talking about that part of your life with your little girls? >> you know, my oldest kind of grew up with it and was on set of baywatch hawaiian wedding and all of that. she kind of doesn't care. i'm just mom. my youngest gets excited about the shows and loves to watch. she watched a little bit of baywatch. again she's like, so -- are you done? [ laughter ] >> lara: they really do keep us grounded. >> gio: there's a lot of never
8:36 am
before seen footage in this. is there something we're looking to surprise baywatch fans? >> i think the entire thing is. what we set out to do was do something different than you've seen before. i thought everybody had this auto pilot interview. read the same articles, same pictures. it was just another pretty face in a bathing suit. it gave everybody an opportunity to tell how the show affected their lives. and it's not an expose about drama and this or that that happened, but it's sort of like where their journey, where this journey took them. >> lara: no, super interesting. group of actors that everybody knows and we all know that red suit. [ laughter ] thinking about you, wishing you all the best. >> i appreciate it. >> lara: just so grateful that you came on to share this with us. >> thank you for having me. >> lara: an everybody, you'll want to see this "after baywatch" moment in the sun is streaming right now on hulu. coming up why so many kids are missing school, and the group that's trying to help them get to class.

>> announcer: live, sunday september 17th, that emmys. >> let's begin, shall we? >> emmys. live, september 15th on abc. >> rebecca: welcome back. this morning we are taking a closer look at school attendance and the epidemic of absenteeism. it is on the rise since the pandemic and it's putting millions of american children at risk of falling behind. in the four years since the pandemic closed schools, education has struggled to recover. today almost 15 million children across the u.s., from grades k-12 are chronically absent, defined as missing at least 10% of the school year, or about 18
8:40 am
days. so why aren't kids showing up? >> it can be a serious as the loss of a caretaker, health care issues, tragedy, or something as simple as not having access to a uniform or school supplies that might lead to bullying or shame. >> rebecca: a middle school principal in las vegas during and after the pandemic. >> being a covid principal, attendance was the biggest impact. students just weren't physically being engaged any more in the educational process or attending. they just started slowly becoming disengaged in their school community. >> rebecca: as the superintendent of the district, dr. lori wrap has seen it first hand. >> our kids were finding themselves in situations where they weren't able to come to school, which might mean they didn't get a meal that day, which might mean they didn't get some emotional support from a teacher that day. >> rebecca: 30% of students in lewisville are economically
8:41 am
disadvantaged. attendance rates here dropping from 97% to just 90% after the pandemic. the impact is great. >> you're not in school and you're not staying on track with reading and literacy and social skill development, it can impact your ability to ultimately graduate on time. >> absent. >> absent. >> rebecca: a new psa by the nonprofit community group communities in schools hoping to make a difference. >> jacob o, grade 12, absent. because housing was absent. >> rebecca: the group now serving 3,500 schools battles absent'ism through mentors who connect students and their families to local resources to help them stay in school. >> the school year starts, this is a call for new beginnings, renewed attention to our most vulnerable students who often go without support. that's the difference, we believe, between access and opportunity. >> i'm tremendously optimistic
8:42 am
the human connection is the most important aspect to a child's development. >> education is one of the most important things that kids need in order to be successful and to set them up for future success. it's one of the most important issues you have to solve. >> rebecca: so, so important to solve this. and reasons that kids say they are missing school, they can vary. anything from mental health, lack of wi-fi for assignments, even staying home to help care for younger siblings. if you want to help and volunteer, you can do that and help end the problem of absenteeism by con tacking your local pta or ymca to mentor students. that would be a great thing to do. the organization has chapters across the country that can help connect you. so important. >> gio: so important. >> rebecca: let's go to ginger. >> ginger: thank you, rebecca. now to big news if you ever wanted to sail into your favorite disney movie. disney cruise lines is unveiling disney destiny, with crews to

8:44 am
>> yes. very exciting. >> gio: let's start this college romance right. you say, grace, that this is really a show, a cautionary tale about infatuation. what do you mean? >> yeah. i think it's totally a cautionary tale about how people can lose themselves in relationships at kind of any age, but specifically at this time. they're so young. i think they mistake a lot of newness and lust and desire for love. in this season you really see them kind of enable to break this cycle that they can escape even when they're not together. >> whit: this infatuation. >> yes. >> whit: we're going to look at it highlighted in a clip here, talk about it afterwards. >> all right. good to see you. >> lucy? i don't buy it. i know you've been thinking
8:45 am
about me. >> it doesn't work anymore. >> whit: lot of mind games going on here. dark side of young love. jackson, what can we expect from season 2? >> well, it was kind of a love story last year. now it's kind of a war story. yeah. >> gio: that's a good way to put it. >> yeah. you know, and then it really goes into these other characters a lot more. more a true ensemble now so you get to see what everyone else is doing. >> gio: not a war story is this love story. you're together. you got together before the show even started. >> yes. >> gio: jackson, how did you even find out about the role? >> just through the normal process. took awhile to convince them i could do it. and then when we got it, it was really exciting. i found out a little bit later than you were signed on. it was great. we just celebrated. >> whit: did i read something

[ laughter ] it's a dream. best case scenario. especially because we have to be so terrible to each other on screen. so nice to have that comfort and safety and security when we have to do that. >> gio: this is a real family affair. jackson, your mom, katie segal,
8:47 am
she plays your mom in this show. what was it like working with her? >> it was a blast. she's -- well, real relationship, real mom. >> kind of blurs. >> i don't know what's real, what's not. [ laughter ] it's cool. it's exciting. it was really fun. she's amazing. >> gio: let's make sure that doesn't turn into a war story. that's the cautionary tale you are talking about. >> exactly. >> gio: guys, thank you very much. great to have you. congratulations. >> thank you. >> gio: the first two episodes of theny season of "tell me lies" drop next wednesday september 4th on hulu. coming up here, how to use ai to help plan the perfect vacation. stick around. you're watching gma. there's lori b.
