it's friday, september 29th. a caffeine boost. from abc news, this is "world news now." >> we do say cheers to you. >> cheers. >> has two non-coffee drinkers. enjoy. >> so, we are celebrating on behalf of the staff. i really think, we are not the only people here, probably the only people who work these hours who don't drink coffee. >> we celebrate for you. >> we do, indeed. we'll get to that a little bit later, but we'll start things off this morning with the national anthem taking the spotlight during thursday night football. >> yeah. you have the oldest rivalry in football and the newest controversy there on the field. the packers hosting the bears. players from both teams stood on the sidelines, linking arms in what they're calling a show of unity in the wake of last week's protests. some fans in the stands joined them as country music star tyler farr sang the anthem.

the packers had asked all of their fans to join them in linking arms. but many opted for the traditional hand-over-heart posture. after the game, quarterback aaron rodgers spoke about the pregame demonstration. >> it's never been about the national anthem. it's never been about the military. we're all patriotic in the locker room. we love our troops. the this is about something bigger than that, an invitation to show unity in the face of some divisiveness from the top. >> in the meantime, more videos are surfacing, showing fans, including packer loyalists burning team gear, angry over the players kneeling during the anthem last week to protest racial injustice. >> this comes while critics accuse president trump of adding fuel to the fire with his latest comment accusing teams backing town to players.

>> they say we are in a situation where we have to do something. i think they're afraid of their players, you want to know the truth. and i think it's disgraceful. >> the white house says the president was referring to nfl owners being afraid of conflict, not the players themselves. a former ethics lawyer for president bush tweeted, if the president thinks the nfl is some sort of antebellum plantation, he's mistaken. but trump thinks most people agree with his opinion that players should be punished for kneeling during the anthem. let's move on to the crisis in puerto rico. the trump administration is pushing back against criticism that the federal response to hurricane maria has been slow. >> many in isolated towns say they still have not received any assistance. one puerto rican lawmaker calls it a disaster. before and after satellite images show the lack of power is still an issue there.

president trump says fema and the first responders are doing a great job and his aides are echoing that message. >> we have provided as many commodity as necessary to the island. the challenge became land-based distribution. that remains the priority today. >> one shipping company says there are roughly 10 thours containers full of supplies waiting to be moving out of the port of san juan, but there aren't enough drivers or gas to move them. more should be on the way now that president trump has waived restrictions on foreign ships delivering aid. and we have some breaking news from california's yosemite national park. a second massive rock slide at el capitan. this time, debris came raining down on a suv with four people inside, crashing through the roof. the driver hit in the head and airlifted out of the park. the others escaped without getting hurt. >> something came through our sunroof. but we didn't know it was closed and we didn't know it was coming -- you know, what had happened, but it shattered and the dust just poured in. >> glad went flying from the sun roof. >> so we were trying to outrun it, go, let's go.

at the same time, my husband reached up and was like, oh, my had head, my head, because it was bleeding profusely and hurting. >> wow, can you imagine. yosemite officials have identified the british tourist killed by wednesday's rock slide as 32-year-old andrew foster. he and his wife were hiking at the bottom of el capitan when the chunk of granite the size of a building broke offer. the president insists the wealthy are not getting a tax cut. but this morning the "new york times" reports the president could personally save more than $1 billion under the proposal. abc's gloria riviera has more. >> reporter: president trump unveiled the tax reform plan calling for democrats to join republicans in support. tweeting democrats don't want massive tax cuts. how does that win elections? great reviews for tax reform. the white house says the plan is revolutionary, insisting it stream lines the system and benefits the middle class. >> we're going to make sure that

nearly every american can file their taxes by themselves on a single sheet of paper. >> reporter: the details are forthcoming, but the new proposal calls for slashing the tax on corporations, now 35%, to 20%. for individuals and families, reducing the number of tax brackets from seven to just three, and doubling the standard deduction. for families, that would mean no income tax whatsoever on the first $24,000 of income. trump is proposing eliminating the estate tax, something that only paid on estates valued at more than $5.5 million for individuals, $11 million for couples. as for the flat 20% cut for corporations -- >> 20's my number. so i'm not negotiating that number. >> trump's economic adviser could not confirm whether any individual would pay more. >> i can't guarantee anything. >> reporter: democrats are skeptical. >> don't call it reform. because it's not reform. it's just more of the same trickle down economics.

>> reporter: as to how this will affect the president, he has said this new tax reform plan is not good for him. but that is impossible to fact check because he has not released his own tax records. the first president in four decades not to do so. the white house is hoping to get this new tax plan approved by congress by the end of the year. gloria riviera, abc news, washington. >> gloria, thanks. and since we don't have the president's tax returns, the "new york times" did an analysis based on the president's 2005 tax return and a bloomberg estimate of his wealth and report that the repeal of the estate tax could save them $1 billion. the white house launched an internal investigation. politico reports jared kushner and ivanka trump's use of private e-mail for government business are of interest. a kushner spokesperson did not respond to our request for information on this. and those who tried to repeal obamacare say they are not giving up. not yet. senators lindsey graham and bill

cassidy insist they're committed to try again. for now, they say they're focusing on tax reform. congressman steve scalise is excited to be working again after being shot and nearly killed. he got a standing ovation when he returned to congress on thursday and says his femur was shattered in that shooting. his hip and pelvis were also badly damaged by the shooting. but you you wouldn't know that by watching him on the house floor. he was overjoyed to be back. >> you have no idea how great this feels to be back here at work in the people's house. i'm definitely a living example that miracles really do happen. >> scalise thanked those who helped save his life at that baseball park in virginia. he said his doctors did a phenomenal job rebuilding him. the faa is banning drone flight over the statue of liberty as well as nine other

monuments. flights up to 400 feet within the boundaries of the sites will be banned starting next week. and in case you missed it, big day, yesterday was national drink beer day. >> yes. and did you celebrate? >> no comment. >> for those who may be nursing a hangover as a result this morning, perhaps not so coincidentally, it is national coffee day. >> well planned. >> yes. for those that aren't too picky about their perk, there are plenty of ways to celebrate with free and discounted cups of of that steaming black magic. >> you can get deals at mcdonald's, starbucks, pete's coffee, 7-eleven, and many more. if we listed them all -- >> we listed quite a few right there. >> of that bunch, i used to love wawa coffee. >> really? >> yes. >> i was a dunkin' donuts girl
