good morning, america. breaking news. wildfires exploding across southern california. a storm of embers. >> i have never seen anything like this. >> more than 1,000 people forced to evacuate as massive flames close in on their homes. and this highway near los angeles, the mad rush to escape overnight. humanitarian crisis in puerto rico. >> this is the biggest catastrophe in puerto rican history. >> new video shows the damage from above. people trapped, painting the word help on their roof. rescuers spotting, coming to their aid. nearly 3 1/2 million u.s. citizens stuck. suffering in unbearable heat. without power and basic supplies and now president trump under fire for his response as some of the world's most famous stars from jennifer lopez to lin-manuel miranda beg for help. caught on camera.

lapd investigating this video as a possible kidnapping. this man seen grabbing a woman and forcing her into his car. the search to find them right now. and america's team takes a thee. on "monday night football" the cowboys along with owner jerry jones kneeling before the national anthem, and then linking arms during it. but, the country divided. some fans even burning their gear. what the steelers player and former army ranger who became a national symbol is now revealing about this dramatic moment. and we do say good morning, america, on a very busy tuesday morning. and this moment on the football field last night got a lot of reaction. as protests continue to grow across the country. >> the cowboys and their owner, jerry jones, taking a knee before the anthem, and then their team and the cardinals linking arms during the anthem.

a lot of people had their eyes on this waiting to see what was going to happen when the national anthem was sung. and it was their way, and i guess jerry jones came up with the way of showing solidarity and support but also honoring the flag. >> got a divided response from the president, early this morning, around 6:30 this morning. the president put out a couple of tweets, one saying look at all those boos when they took the knee. but also saying it was progress when they stood up for the national anthem. more on that ahead, and then on the humanitarian crisis, but first those wildfires. forcing more than 1,000 people to evacuate. abc's jim avila is on the scene in corona. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, george. as the sun coming up here in southern california, a few hot spots remain after a heroic night, where fire fighters saved hundreds of homes. mandatory evacuations under way for more than 1,300 people. >> flames were across every hill all the way around us. swirling embers. it was crazy.

>> reporter: the fire dangerously close to this highway. several lanes shutting down. as people spent the night desperately trying to evacuate. >> i started packing my car. >> reporter: it's called the canyon wildfire, and it's quar of an acre to at least 1,700 acres. two superscoopers dropping water. another plane seen here dropping fire retardant. and six helicopters attacking the fire. but early this morning -- >> they said the helicopters are not coming anymore because of the visibility issue. >> reporter: wildfires lighting up the skies in southern california. >> it was a tornado of embers going through here. >> i have never seen anything like this. >> reporter: this video taken from a home, showing the raging inferno up close. >> just came up quickly like a firestorm. came up over the ridge there. probably 50-foot flames. >> reporter: firefighters scrambling to get to hydrants as the fire quickly spreads. 300 homes in jeopardy. whipping wildfire winds making for an incredibly dangerous situation.

fires are now hoping that the weather will hold. it's sunny today and supposed to be hot. and the wind could come up. so firefighters are staying in the area to watch for hot spots. robin? >> we hope the same. jim, thank you. as the wildfires grow out west, maria is nearing the east coast. it is not expected to make landfall, but it is posing a threat and forcing mandatory evacuations for parts of north carolina. let's go to ginger with the latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you, robin. so many people saying, it feels so much like summer. this late september heat is very deceiving and they go to the beach and they see this. the big red flag, and the huge surf. that's the outer banks, but it's not just the outer banks affected by maria. because of its proximity to north carolina, it will kick up more. you see that ridge in the jet stream. that has been keeping it kind of slow. north at 7 miles per hour is its movement. what you will see in the next 24 to 36 hours is its closest proximity to the outer banks. tonight through tomorrow morning gusts up to 65 for cape hatteras

and 38 there even in parts of virginia. and then this cold front and associated trough comes through, and pushes to the east and you will see this hard right turn, and by the end of the week out in the atlantic. doesn't mean you won't see 7 to 10-foot waves from massachusetts and rhode island though, and then 15-foot surf in cape hatteras, north carolina. >> reporter: hey, ginger. good morning. we're feeling those intense wind gusts. about 30 miles per hour right now. just look at the waves. massive waves coming ashore here. some going down the street right through the dunes here. i want you to look at the issue here. you have all these homes and there is a state of emergency in place in this county. you see all these homes right there? they're on stilts. but this is why it's a concern. look at these houses right here. these houses are not that elevated so that's a real concern for flooding. i want you to look at this incredible image right now. we saw this just come up -- just

wash up ashore here just yesterday. this is a potential ordnance. an unexploded ordnance, some kind of giant weapon, world war ii era. it just washed up on this beach north of here. that's how strong these waves have been. right now, this mandatory evacuation is in place for all visitors to hatteras island, that's where we are right now. and ocracoke island. the center of the storm 210 miles away, and this area is expecting the tropical storm force winds, a lot of rain. again, the concern, looking at these waves, and the concern is that dangerous storm surge, the tide. and people are just concerned about flooding here. guys, back to you. >> still talking about maria. >> maria left so much destruction across puerto rico that the governor is now warning of a humanitarian crisis. the storm has killed at least 16 people there, and look at these stunning before and after pictures showing how much of the island is still without power. 5% of puerto rico's electricity

has been restored and abc's eva pilgrim spoke with the governor and joins us now from san juan. good morning. >> reporter: michael, hurricane maria's destruction is all over this island. you can see this window blown out, this bus stop knocked over. now the governor of puerto rico is begging for more help. this morning, puerto rico facing a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions. >> i'm asking for your help in this. this is the biggest catastrophe in puerto rican history. >> reporter: this family trapped in their home, writing help on the roof in a last-ditch effort. customs and border patrol coming to their rescue, but not everyone here so lucky. we are many days removed from hurricane maria making landfall, and you can see there are still several neighborhoods that are flooded. puerto rico's governor says the situation is a race against time. >> if we don't get unprecedented collaboration from the federal government here, this could collapse into a humanitarian crisis. >> eight hours waiting for gas. just waiting for gas. >> reporter: this satellite

image shows the island looks almost blacked out from space. with only 5% of electricity restored so far, the 3.5 million citizens who live here are suffering in unbearable heat without basic supplies. much of the water undrinkable. 80% of the crops decimated, and police guarding lines for gas that are hours long. >> people are running out of food. they are fighting. everyone basically is fighting in the stores, in the street, in the gas lines. you know, it's -- it's really, really survival mode right now. >> reporter: the white house is expected to send disaster relief aid request for puerto rico at t many concerned that will be too late. celebs like mark anthony tweeting, do something about our people in need in puerto rico. >> me and my cousin still haven't been able to hear from our families over there. >> reporter: j. lo putting out this plea for help. >> together we can help rebuild our island.

>> reporter: the faa says there are a dozen flights in and out of san juan each day and rising, but maria destroyed critical navigational systems. they're now having to use chainsaws to get to one of the main radar sites. michael? >> thank you, eva. such devastation. >> the storm has been so long. this was last wednesday that it made landfall there in puerto rico. and the number of people there suffering. >> so many. president trump is facing criticism for his response. his first tweet on puerto rico last night and he's also facing another defeat on health care. a third gop senator has come out against the last-ditch effort to repeal obamacare meaning it doesn't have the votes to pass before this week's deadline. and the president is digging in to his fight with the nfl. as we said, more tweets this morning. he is claiming a backlash against players who kneel. cecilia vega in washington with more on this. good morning. let's begin with puerto rico. the president had that tweet last night, but also seemed to criticize the island. >> reporter: yeah, george, and he went on in those tweets to

emphasize that island's massive debt crisis, all the money owed to wall street and the banks. he says, look, by our count since saturday the president has feeted about sports 23 times. about puerto rico, just three times. as you can imagine the criticism has been pouring in from celebrities to members of congress on capitol hill. the white house response to this, they say, the fema administrator has been on the ground. the special adviser to the president, tom bossert, was on the ground. they say the federal response has been unprecedented. but, look, the president is likely to face a lot more criticism, george, as you can imagine. if he's tweeting about this debt crises while millions of people are still without power. >> this fight with the nfl continues into this morning. yesterday at the white house press briefing, you pressed the press secretary, sarah sanders. >> does the president believe there are very fine people who kneeled yesterday watching those games, or are they all s.o.b.s?

>> i think you're trying to conflate different things here. look, we certainly respect the rights that people have but i think we also need to focus. this is about the president being for respecting our country through symbols like the american flag. >> cecilia, from this morning's tweets, the president seems to be enjoying this fight. >> reporter: yeah. they are just absolutely defiant on this one. as you just mentioned, he is back up and tweeting again about this. i think we've got one of those ready to show you. take a look. it says, ratings for nfl football are way down, except for game starts when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected. the white house says this is not about race, this is not about the president being against something. they say this is not about him not being focused on other priorities. they say this is about president trump defending patriotism, but with those images right there, as you can see, so many people on fields and outside of fields across this country completely disagree. >> a lot more division on this one. cecilia vega, thanks very much. >> he seems to be obsessed with ratings, the president. more on the republicans' last-ditch effort to repeal the

affordable care act. emotional protests erupting at a senate hearing on the bill monday. now time is running out. gop lawmakers are facing a saturday deadline. and our congressional correspondent, mary bruce, is on capitol hill with the latest on where things stand. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. after seven years, republicans still can't agree on a path forward to overhaul obamacare. this morning, three republicans are now a no, which means for now, this latest health care bill isn't going anywhere. with the bill facing a growing backlash -- [ chanting ] -- this morning, the latest republican health care plan appears to be dead. maine senator susan collins delivering what is likely the fatal blow, saying she cannot support the bill. >> it was clear to me that the graham/cassidy pill was not the answer. >> reporter: her objections to the bill? the deep cuts to medicaid. weakened protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and the fear that premiums for many would likely rise.

collins now joins senators rand paul and john mccain in voting no. but overnight the bill's author vowing to fight on. >> we're going to press on, and it's okay to vote. it's okay to fall short if you do for an idea you believe in. >> reporter: opposition to the bill boiled over on monday as protesters took to the halls of the capitol. >> if you want a hearing, you better shut up. >> reporter: protesters hauled off and arrested. many in wheelchairs. pam willis came all the way from wyoming for her voice to be heard. her daughter is in a wheelchair. her daughter-in-law, battling her fourth round of cancer. what's the message that you want lawmakers to hear from you and from everybody else in this line? >> be human. care. care about insurance for everyone, not just yourselves or your relatives. care about everyone, even the poor. they need it. >> reporter: so what comes next here? well, republicans will now likely have to work with democrats on a bipartisan solution to repair obamacare,

but for now, their signature promise to repeal and replace it is out of reach, george. >> they have to decide whether to pull the plug around noon today. mary, thanks very much. president trump also facing a major test at the polls. it's election day in alabama and the president is pushing hard for senator luther strange. we saw them stumping together on friday. strange is facing a strong republican primary challenger. and in a new twist, that challenger is backed by steve bannon, the strategist fired last month. abc's chief national correspondent, tom llamas, is in mobile. >> for whatever reason, god has put me in this election -- >> reporter: overnight, former alabama chief justice roy moore, making it clear, he is going to defend the second amendment. >> i believe in the second amendment. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: and this morning, political trouble could be coming for president trump on horseback. moore will ride a horse to the polls to vote for himself in the senate republican primary. >> i won the last time i rode a

horse. >> reporter: he's challenging senator luther strange who is backed by president trump. >> all of washington is watching to see what the people of alabama do tomorrow. >> reporter: moore has won over some of the trump's most prominent supporters, including the president's former chief strategist, steve bannon, who is breaking with the president in this race. >> we did not come here to defy donald trump. we came here to praise and honor him. >> what would you tell trump supporters who are confused? who should you vote for? >> um, i'm just a individual. but like i said, i came down here for judge roy moore. >> reporter: but the president is sticking by luther strange. >> i say, senator, i need your help. i said, i got to get your vote on health care. he says, you have got it. >> reporter: senator strange was appointed to jeff sessions' seat when sessions was confirmed as attorney general. at 6'9", he's the tallest person to serve in the senate. >> i said, that is the tallest human being i have ever seen.

should be on the new york knicks. they could use him. that's why i call him big luther. >> reporter: but big luther is facing a big challenge in moore, who is well known by conservatives for refusing a federal order to remove a ten commandments monument from a judicial building, and later suspended as a judge for ignoring the supreme court ruling on legalizing same-sex marriage. senator strange who campaigned with vice president mike pence overnight, is banking on that white house support to deliver victory. >> the vice president and the president of the united states, came here on my behalf, and it means more than i can possibly say. >> reporter: strange and his supporters which include a superpac linked to senator mitch mcconnell have poured millions of dollars into this race in attack ads. but local polls show moore on top, and president trump tweeted this morning saying, luther strange has been shooting up in the alabama poll since my endorsement. finish the job. vote today for big luther. robin? >> we'll see what happens. all right, tom.

this morning, tensions are escalating with north korea. they are now accusing the u.s. of declaring war on their country and saying they have the right to shoot down american warplanes. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is here with the latest, and this comes in response to our u.s. bombers flying into north korea? >> absolutely. they flew further north. they were off the coast about 200 miles than they have in decades and decades. this was definitely a show of force. they could not be shot down 200 miles off that coast. they are away from north korean artillery and rockets, but the north koreans put out a propaganda video showing them shooting down our bombers, showing them shooting down our fighters, but jim mattis, says he hopes to still solve this diplomatically. >> are we close to a conflict here? >> they are trying to avoid that, but that could always happen, robin. >> thank you. >> thank you, martha. before we go to ginger with the record heat, we'll switch gears a little bit and talk about another record. a major milestone on the baseball field for the sport's

newest phenom. aaron judge breaking the record of becoming the first rookie ever to hit 50 home runs in a season. his yankee teammates, you know he's a very modest guy, they had to urge him to come out of the dugout and take a well-deserved curtain call. 50 home runs. never before done. aaron judge, congratulations. great rookie season. >> 50 and counting. a lot more to come. back to ginger now with that record heat. >> chicago has been 90 plus today. that will be the seventh day in a row. more coming you, but first, the tuesday trivia brought to you by liberty mutual.

good tuesday morning, i'm meteorologist lisa argen waking up to beautiful conditions. it's already kind of on the mild side here in the city. we still have a red flag warnings for the higher elevations of the north and east bay today with high fire danger, temperatures 10 to 20 degrees above average. so it's these areas with these north to northeast winds where the relatively humidity is going to plummet today. look for 80s in the city, 90 in fremont today. coming up, america's team, the cowboys, we'll talk about what they did last night, and the real story behind this moment when a former army ranger took the field alone. we'll be right back.

the lapd now investigating. but we begin with the athletes taking a stand after president trump's attack on those who don't stand for the national anthem. lebron james taking the mike monday saying he doesn't regret calling president trump a bum, and saying protests aren't meant to disrespect the flag or the military. take a look. >> it is about equality, and people having the option and the freedom to speak upon things that they feel that's not just. >> and overnight, all eyes were on the arizona cardinals and the dallas cowboys as they took the field. abc's matt gutman was there, and he joins us from glendale, arizona. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, michael. what we saw last night took fans' breath away. and it generated some boos. the entire dallas cowboys team, america's team take a knee before the national anthem, along with its owner, jerry jones.

what's remarkable about this is a protest that began last year by a single player often kneeling alone. and now it's sanctioned by what appears to be the entire nfl brass. the dallas cowboys taking their stand by take a knee before the national anthem. team owner jerry jones, right in the middle. >> boos can be heard from this sellout crowd in arizona. >> reporter: after america's team acknowledged the protest for racial equality, in what seemed a choreographed move, the team stood up, went to the sidelines, linked arms for the star spangled banner alongside their opponents. the arizona cardinals. ♪ o'er the ramparts we watched >> reporter: the nfl commissioner tweeting, it was a great show of unity. >> our players wanted to make a statement about unity and we wanted to make a statement about equality. ♪ what so proudly >> reporter: symbolism

everywhere, even on singer jordin sparks's microphone hand. it reads, speak up for those who can't speak for themselves. fans' reactions, mixed. >> if you stand or if you kneel, do your thing. >> i think the players should still come out and stand on the field. >> reporter: in pittsburgh monday, the steelers were still dealing with fallout over their decision to is have the entire team remain in the locker room during the anthem at sunday's game. quarterback ben roethlisberger speaking out, saying he regrets the team's decision. >> i wish we would have been on the field. that's my personal feeling on that. i'm entitled to that opinion. >> reporter: former army ranger alejandro villanueva was the only steelers member on the field, hand on heart at the beginning of the game. his jersey now the top seller in the country. but the west point grad says separating himself from his teammates was not his intention. >> at the end of the day, the reason -- whether i wanted it or not, the reason i went out there by myself is the reason that is

causing all this distress. >> reporter: the fallout from the anthem controversy now also hitting athletes' wallets. denver broncos star, von miller who knelt during sunday's game, says hi contract with a local ford dealership was not renewed following sunday's game. >> stay ahead of the curve. >> reporter: the super bowl li mvp was not fired, but when we bring in representatives to represent us, we run the risk of being misrepresented. the big question is, michael, whether these protests will persist in the coming weeks or lose steam. what's interesting is folks thought the issue originally was about free speech. the original intent of the protests were actually to give voice to police brutality. michael? >> thank you, matt. the original intent is being lost. jerry jones is is the owner. for him to do that, i think spoke a lot about the league and where their stance is. >> i saw this tweet that said, thinking nfl players are

protesting the flag is like thinking rosa parks was protesting public transportation. >> wow. pretty good. coming up, the new fallout for former congressman anthony weiner. sentenced for his sexting scandal. is the penalty harsh enough? dan and nancy will join us to weigh in. weigh in. ho are overweight or struggle with obesity. contrave is believed to work on two areas of the brain: your hunger center... i'm so hungry.

linsey davis with here with that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin opinion anthony weiner has already lost so much. the chance to be new york city mayor, his congressional office, and his wife. this morning, he is waking up to the reality that on top of everything else, he is now about to lose his freedom. >> mr. weiner, any comment? >> reporter: anthony weiner, sullen and speechless emerging from a courtroom monday where he was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting with a 15-year-old. the former congressman sobbing upon hearing the judge's decision. only moments earlier, he told the judge through tears that he had hit rock bottom and was a changed man, saying, i was a very sick man for a very long time. weiner was hoping to avoid any jail time, looking for probation. his lawyers arguing he is on his way to recovery and would not receive proper therapy inside prison. but the the judge rejects that, telling the court that weiner has a sexual compulsivity

disease, and he deserves punishment. >> he may not be responsible for his disorder, but he was and is responsible for his treatment, and he did not get to that soon enough, and he has hurt people as a result, and he must take the consequences. >> reporter: earlier this year, weiner pled guilty to one count of transferring obscene material to a minor. his teenage victim appeared on "inside edition" earlier this month. >> i just sent him a nice message, just hello. i'm a huge fan. >> reporter: his texts range from your body is pretty insane. i thought you this a.m., to this picture of him with his son. weiner's sentencing is the culmination of a tumultuous downfall. in 2011, he had to resign from his congressional seat after inadvertently tweeting a picture of himself in his underwear. leading to him admitting to sending pictures to multiple women. >> is that a photograph of you? >> here's all that i can do. i said, let's try to figure out who, how, what this -- how this

prank went down, and how we make sure it doesn't happen again. >> reporter: weiner's wife was not present in the courtroom, but submitted a letter to the judge saying, i am devastated by anthony's actions and i understand he must face consequences. however, as a mother, i have always done and will always do anything that will help my son be as safe, happy, healthy, and complete as possible. weiner will have to go to jail by november 6th and register as a sex offender. >> let's bring in dan abrams, and nancy grace. 21 months, dan. the judge sending a message here? >> this is the low end. of the federal sentencing guidelines. remember, they are just a recommendation. they are not binding. here's what weiner had going f he pled guilty and didn't try and meet with this girl. there was no child porn found on his computer. does it matter she initiated this? and then sold the story? i don't think so. i don't think the judge thought so either. the bottom line is while this is the bottom end of the sentencing guidelines, this is a tough sentence considering the facts here.

i think if he hadn't been anthony weiner, he would have ended up with a lesser sentence. >> nancy? >> i have to tell you i am deeply disheartened by this sentence. and to say -- for dan abrams to say this is not child porn. he asked a girl to strip naked and fondle herself. >> right. so nancy -- right. >> how do you differentiate it? he was looking -- no, no. >> repeat what i said. there was no child porn found on his computer. >> found on his computer. yes, i heard you, and if that's your -- >> want to make sure you got it right. >> good luck. what i'm saying is -- yeah. i got it right. but did you get it right? he asked this girl to strip naked, which she did, as he watched on skype and snapchat. he could have gotten ten years. he got a couple of months. they asked for 27 months. he got 21 months. yes, i'm disheartened. i'm very disheartened, and he

will repeat offend. >> no one gets ten years for this. the bottom line is, you know, i did a bunch of research looking at all the other cases out there. yeah, some people have gotten tougher sentences than this one. >> that's not true. >> what's not true? >> much tougher sentences. >> with anything like this fact pattern, nancy, no one gets ten years. >> a minor girl to strip naked? >> can we agree on something? let's agree this is really bad. let's agree anthony weiner deserves prison time. now let's talk about -- now let's talk about how much -- how much time he deserves, right? does it matter to you he pled guilty? does he get any credit for that? >> well, let me tell you this. he was caught red-handed. what could he do? he tried to blame the girl. he tried to use as a defense he was texting 19 other women at the time. how did that help? he claimed he didn't meet the girl. look. here's the deal. he has done this many, many times.

he pled guilty to one time. i am not impressed. >> the judge has spoken, so both of you, i don't think you're going to agree. thanks very much. over to robin. coming up on our big board, how you may be able to make money off your favorite musicians' careers. we'll tell you about it next. musician's careers. we'll tell you about it next. on. i'm karen, i'm a teacher. 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 you've been someplace where fungal infections are common, or if you're prone to infections,

cherry-picked assets starting with the eminem catalog. does it say music? >> it has done good things for the music industry. not song writers so much, but it grew double digits last year to about $8 billion. streaming was responsible for almost $4 billion of that. almost half. >> my understanding was eminem was not consulted? >> that's right. >> how does that work? >> i mean, in this case, the artist doesn't own all the rights to every aspect of his music. there are some people who said this is disrespectful. certainly it doesn't seem respectful to me, but it's business. and it's not unusual in the business world. intellectual property doesn't always belong to the people who created it. >> what? >> i'm looking at you. robin roberts. mm-hmm. be doing all right. joe, thank you so much. >> always. and coming up, speaking of investing, "shark tank's" kevin

"gma" health alert, that major new headline about women and prescription painkillers and why they're becoming addictive. we're going to talk to dr. jen ashton in a moment. but first, a look at the new report. this morning, the report revealing that women are most at risk when it comes to opioids. 30% more prescriptions written for women than for men. 40% for female surgery patients become persistent users like 39-year-old christina cruz miller, mother of three daughters. >> i did exactly what they said. i followed up with my doctor. i trusted him. >> reporter: christina says he was prescribed oxycontin after having a procedure to remove cysts from her ovaries and had never even heard of the drug before. but became addicted to prescription pills for three and a half years. overdosing twice before beginning her road to recovery. >> i hated what i was, and i was embarrassed and ashamed and was content that my family would be better off without me. >> reporter: that new report funded by pharmacological

company and conducted by quinntiles ims. and the united states for non-dependence, and opioid overprescribing, finds seven common surgeries are often being prescribed far more pills than they need. >> what's startling and really bothersome in the study is the number of patients that are on opioids well after the surgery has been completed. >> reporter: the study concluding 3 million patients continued taking them three months or longer after surgery, and kristina is not alone. and christina is not alone. 11.7 billion opioid painkillers like oxycontin and vicodin were prescribed in 2016. if you laid them down end to end, they would crisscross the country 50 times. >> more people die from opioid prescription overdose than from heroin overdose per year. >> boy, that is startling. our senior medical contributor dr. jennifer ashton is here. i know you're a surgeon.

you can be in pain after post-surgery. are there any other options though? do people -- should we ask questions as a patient? >> 100% because an informed patient is always the most ideal patient. but it's a catch-22 here, because pain delays surgical healing and recovery. so there's that fine balance about giving other options. if you are facing surgery, you want to ask a couple of questions. could you take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories or use ice therapy. sometimes that's an option. you should always request the lowest dose if you need an opioid narcotic for the shortest period of time. it's basic pharmacology, and our awareness needs to be ratcheted up when we're talking about this class of medications. >> i think this number is going to startle some people. according to the cdc, 33,000 died from overdoses in 2015. what do we know about the addiction? >> there is intense research now going on, robin, in the area of addiction medicine. it's the reward system in the

brain is hi jacked in some ways. we don't know why people are prone to become addicted. we know it happens, and you have to be aware of the warning signs. if you are taking more opioid narcotics and you can't cut down, that's a sign. if you are constantly nauseated or vomiting, itchy, sedated, or you can have pinpoint pupils. these are signs you need to seek help. this can be life-threatening and we see that every single day. >> as a doctor, why are women prescribed it more than men? >> again, another sex gender issue. in medicine, we don't know the answer to that. women suffer more chronic pain than men, and they seem to be given, you know, higher doses for longer periods of time. they are often on other medications like sedatives, sleep aids, antidepressants. that have been implicated in these overdose deaths, and again, pregnancy. this is a massive problem we're seeing a lot of pregnant women already come in dependent on narcotics and infants born addicted.

so in my specialty, a big push to lower this problem. >> as a patient, we need to ask other options, right? >> 100%. we need to do better. >> as always. thank you. george and lara? >> thank you, guys. moving onto "dancing with the stars." the first couple eliminated last night. >> barbara corcoran and keo motsepe flew all night long to be with us. we'll talk to them in just a moment, but first, here's a look at last night's big showdown. ♪ >> reporter: the stakes were high in the ballroom monday night. it was the first elimination of the season. >> that was a super duper dance. >> reporter: injuries taking over the ballroom. vanessa lachey. >> oh, it hurts. >> reporter: and "property brothers" drew scott, fighting to make it through. still the couples came to dance. three couples tied for first place.

you can put this number out because it's maxed out at $2500. and that number is out on the internet, so you have to care about that. then you keep a second one for yourself personally with a higher limit of $10,000, but you never put this one online. this is the one that you use for larger purchases, but in both cases, you have to pay these puppies off every month. every single month. >> that's the key. >> you never want to have a balance because you get charged interest between 7% and 23% and that's a lot. >> that's a lot of money on the side. pay it off at the end of the month. that keeps you from putting too much on in the first place. >> if you have a credit card, the benefit is you build a credit history and that helps you in life, but you have got to pay it off every month. every month. that's the key. >> hit the button for question number two. here we go. all right. here we go. question number two. what's the best way to save for your retirement on a modest salary? >> this is absolutely crucial. when you get your first job in your 20s, the average salary in america is $52,000.

you have to take 10% of your after-tax earnings and invest it for the long term. the market provides about 7% a year. if you start in your 20s, by the time you're 65, on the average salary, you'll have about $1.2 million. do it by not buying all that crap you don't need. keep that 10%, and you will be safe when you are old. people say it's scary to invest. i'll tell you what's scary. being 65 years old with no investments. that's scary. >> yeah. you heard a lot of wows here. people are going, what crap can i eliminate now? we'll have members of our audiences. what percentage of your salary do you think you should save every year? >> 10%. >> that's it. but what do you save? >> about 8%. >> 8%. >> bump it up. bump it up 2% more, and you will be a millionaire when you are 65. [ applause ] >> so 10% is what you recommend.

>> yep. it's not what i recommend, it's what you've got to do. you can't assume someone will be there for you when you are 65. you have to put money away. this is crucial. >> hit that button one more time. here we go. our money wheel is spinning. it is -- what are your top stock picks for first-time investors. a lot of people are afraid to invest. >> if i had to pick stocks and these are ones that i own, i like companies with big balances that pay dividends that are in different sectors so i get diversification. diversification is the only free lunch in investing. johnson & johnson. i love it. home depot, i love it. exxon. the biggest of the energy companies. they all pay dividends and i love dividends. >> you love dividends. we got to go. we're going to get cut off. hit it one more time for good luck's sake. we'll be right back. going to get cut off. hit it one more time for good luck's sake. we'll be right back.

i mean, they come from everywhere, really. and when owen pitched this idea to me, when he brought this idea up, i just, you know, all the lights went green inside my head, and i said, there are so many things you can do with this. i mean, first of all, how would men fold their shirts? you know, who would clean the ring in the toilet? all these things -- >> you know that. >> that men don't do. i thought, we got a real possibility here. >> you wanted him to write it. >> yeah. so eventually we just agreed to collaborate, and that was the -- that was the compromise. >> this is the first time you collaborated. you're both writers of course. how did it go? >> it went pretty well. >> it went great. >> we're still here, you know? >> we batted it back and forth, and i would do a section, and he did a section, and we would rewrite each other. people want us to say we had a bunch of arguments but we never

did. >> not one? >> i don't think so. sometimes he would have an idea and i'd say no. sometimes i'd have an idea and he would say no. >> he is the youngest of my wife and i's three children, and he is the bossiest, so basically if he says do this, then i pretty much did that, you know. but it worked out pretty well. we did re-write each other, and the result was it was almost like a third voice to the book. i defy people to know who wrote what when sometimes we can't remember, can we? >> no. >> everybody here is going to get to find out. i get to play oprah now. you're all going home with a copy of "sleeping beauties."
