7:15 am
>> reporter: george, this morning. coats is leaving that critical job where he coordinates u.s. intelligence agencies effective august 15th. coats had what some would call an uncomfortable relationship with the white house when president trump has downplayed russian interference, coats widely respected by republicans and democrats, has repeatedly warned that the russian attacks were aggressive and likely to intensify in the future. earlier this year he offered a much more stark assessment of the capabilities of isis than the president. he's also flatly said north korea is not likely to give up its nuclear weapons despite the president's overtures to the north korean dictator, george. >> pierre, the president nominating texas congressman john ratcliffe to replace him. ratcliffe stood out for his fiery defense of president trump. let's listen. >> i agree with the chairman this morning when he said donald trump is not above the law. he's not. but he damn sure shouldn't be below the law. >> the president clearly liked that but some democrats in congress and republicans as well questioning whether that is enough to qualify him for the director of national intelligence. >> reporter: expect a partisan fight. senator chuck schumer has

since my dvt blood clot i was thinking... could there be another around the corner? or could it turn out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot... almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. ...and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious
7:29 am
and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be surprising. ask your doctor about eliquis. giving away stuff is nice. like that canoe you never use. or that stuffed toy you won at the fair. but not your identity or your savings. you don't want to give those away. which is why aarp fraud watch network offers tips and tools so you can protect yourself and your family from scams. so let aarp help protect you from fraud. and keep what matters most. take on today and every day with aarp.

>> good morning, cecelia. being the fashionistas you are, you know the september issue of "vogue" is the biggest of the year usually with a cover trying to make a big slash. the british "vogue" edition now is making a tidal wave not just for who's on front but behind the scenes landing the newest member of the royal family to work and craft an iconic issue. it's another history-making moment for the new duchess. meghan markle becoming the first ever guest editor of british "vogue." >> with the idea for meghan to koe co-e spacedit british "vogue" came from herself. she had been working with the
8:17 am
patronage smart works that empowers women and wanted to talk about ideas that maybe british "vogue" could bring to the place and help spread the name of the charity. >> reporter: the issue called forces for change highlighting activist women including maternal rights activist and model christy turlington, feminist and actress yara shahidi and candid interview with former first lady michelle obama. the duchess of sussex saying in a statement, through this lens i hope you'll feel the strength of the collective in the di verse selection of women chosen. i hope readers feel as inspired as i do by the forces of change they'll's find within these pages. editor in chief edward enninful hoped the duchess would grace the cover but loved the idea of showcasing powerful women even more. >> meghan with this issue wanted to sort of put across these incredible changemakers. the message is female empowerment and also the message is about sort of staking your claim in the word and being unafraid and that's why we called it forces of change. >> reporter: the collaboration something british "vogue" was dreaming of when i visited the london office just before the royal wedding and spoke with publishing director vanessa kingore. >> she represents a new kind of diverse and modernity. >> reporter: the project growing into much more than a cover
8:18 am

8:19 am
>> what? >> we saw the duchess wearing your same dress. >> and we didn't call each other. >> talk about a fashionista. >> we didn't call each other, but we should have. >> thank you, deborah. >> all right, george over to you. we have a "gma" consumer alert. it's for the millions affected by that 2017 equifax security breach. remember hackers stole the personal data of nearly half the country and a few targeted may be eligible for some financial compensation and rebecca jarvis has the details. tell us what we need to know. >> first off you have to know if you were impacted. 147 million americans had their data exposed in this security breach and you can find out if yours was part of the hacking incident by going to the website equifaxbreachsettlement.com or there is a phone number we're putting up on people's screens. if you were impacted then you have to file a claim in order to be eligible for any of this compensation. >> the claims could be quite high. >> yeah, they could be quite high. in particular if you can show fraud or identity theft on your account after the data breach, then you could be entitled to up to $20,000 but for the majority you'll claim up to ten years of credit monitoring for free or
8:20 am
$125. that's the monetary compensation people could get. >> there is one big caveat. >> this is all on you. you have to file for it. it's not automatic and, frankly, everyone out there right now should be looking at those bank statements regularly, checking for fraud because it's not just the equifax data breach. you have a number of security breaches and also make sure to check that credit report yearly. >> good advice, okay, rebecca, thanks very much. what's going on, michael? >> you don't want to know, george. [ laughter ] well, now we have a "gma" health alert about working out. there's a new study that looks at how much exercise you should get in a week and how many americans are actually getting it. dr. ashton is here with more and as you noticed we swapped out our chairs for these -- >> we're on the ball literally. >> most people they're sitting more at work than ever. spend more time sitting. >> this latest report, it doesn't really bode so well for us as a report card. we're sitting more than ever. about six plus hours a day, almost 20% of the u.s.
8:21 am
population and over 65% -- about 65% of the population are meeting the recommended activity requirements, so about 35% are not and that's 150 minutes a week of moderate activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous activity. >> so say somebody is close to that or not getting the right amount, what are some tips have you. >> i think the thing is, what's important about this study is being sedentary is not just the opposite of being active. it affects the entire body from our brain to our muscles. if you have no choice but to be sedentary, try to bring your workout to work. so sit on one of these balls that engages the core. this is my secret weapon, michael, the resistance band, say hello to my little friend. okay. i have these on all the time when i'm running around the abc building. >> i can't get it over one thigh. >> listen, you can do some

8:31 am
what led to this moment so check it out. at just 16 years old, chris was diagnosed with lupus and advanced kidney disease. >> it was like around the beginning of the school year. me and my brothers, we played flag football. i tried to throw the football but like literally the ball went like a full feet and just hit the ground. that's when i really knew something was wrong. i end up going to one hospital emergency room. the first thing that they told me was i had >> his family prayed he would receive a transplant but his kidneys began to fail and dialysis became his only option. >> the hardest part was putting him on dialysis. he's always remained positive. when i would cry he would text me because he couldn't breathe and say don't 0 worry, mom, i'm going to graduate high school. i'm going to go to college.
8:32 am
you don't have to worry about me. >> reporter: but then more tragedy struck their family when chris' 13-year-old sister bria passed away due to a bleeding disorder. >> i was like devastated, but i sat there for a moment. i was like, it just can't be for no reason so i run out the room and i reach the doctor and say, is there any way she can give her kidneys to her brother. they ran some tests, then his body wasn't cooperative at they told us there was no way they would be able to transplant her organs goo his. >> having that conversation with christopher, one of the hardest things i've ever had to do. >> after she passed away, it was really hard, especially like being away from my framily because i'm always in the hospital. >> then just one month ago chris now 21 received a call that
8:33 am
would change his life literally. >> i'm on the phone. i'm really nervous. i kind of know where it's leading but i dent want to get my hopes up. they tell me that they have a potential donor. >> that donor, 19-year-old abraham who learned about the prospect of donating after reading an article on kidney donation just the year before. >> i realize this is really a chance to help someone's life. >> heing too the test and a year later found out he was a match. >> i'm more reassured this was the right thing to do. >> the first thing i did was cry and thought about my sister and everything then i thought about like everything that i went through and hoping it's finally over. >> reporter: chris and abraham have never met. they now share a bond that can never be broken. >> i'm so grateful to him. he basically gave me life. everything i do, everything i will do, i owe to him. [ applause ] >> really an amazing story.
8:34 am
we're going to take off the noise canceling earphones. you can take off the blindfold as well and, chris, are you ready to meet the man who gave you a kidney? all right. come on with me. come on. are you a little nervous? >> yeah. >> don't be. it's going to be all right, my friend. all right. abraham, come on out. ♪ darling hold my hand >> meet abraham.

[ applause ] oh, man. christina, luis, chris' parents
8:35 am
as well. chris, i wonder, what would you like to say to abraham right now? >> i really wish there was any words that i would be able to say to describe to you how grateful i am for you giving me this new opportunity. i really want you to know your kidney went to a good place so i hope to make you proud one day and everything i do i'm going to do it for you. [ applause ] >> and, abraham, i mean, what you did is amazing and what made you? what sparked you to make this incredible choice to help a complete stranger? >> i feel like i have to gather myself. yeah, i read about the possibility of kidney donation and i learned that, yeah, 100,000 people need a kidney and that the surgery was safe and it's an opportunity to really
8:36 am
improve someone's life. it's so overwhelming to be here now but i'm so happy to do it. i'm grateful to have been able to do it. >> we're grateful and happy as well. christina, your son, chris is sitting here now and he's healthy because of the gift that abraham gave him so do you have anything you'd like to say to abraham. >> i just want to say thank you. there's no words that i can ever say to repay you or your family. i'm just so grateful to you. >> thank you. >> and, luis, for you, as the father to see your son healthy awe and see those two together, how does that make you feel? >> very happy because of this young gentleman, when someone never -- hopefully he won't suffer any more and i know he's not going to go through heartaches or anything anymore. >> everything he's going to do he's going to do in honor to make abraham proud and in honor of abraham.
8:37 am
what do you want to say though those at home who have not read the article considering being a donor. what would you say to them. >> go for it. reach tout to a hospital and see if you're eligible and if you are really consider it. yeah, i was no the hospital for two days, i was off painkillers in five days. i feel great. it's three weeks out. yeah, and i'm so inspired. so happy i did this. and, yeah, it's having somewhat of a ripple effect. my mom is now considering a kidney donor and reached out to the same hospital i did. [ applause ] >> and i think, you know, it's going to extend further than just your mom. i think you being here will extend it to others considering this and for you, chris, there are a lot of people went through what you were going through. this has been a struggle for quite a while. what do you say to those on the list? do you have any encouraging words for them as well. >> i know it's simple to tell
8:38 am
them not to lose hope because at certain times i felt like i would never get better. but i know that just telling myself that i'll get better, i'll get better every day eventually hopefully i will get better so just hoping and praying that your kidney is out there and eventually it will come. >> and we got to say, chris, thank you. abraham, thank you both for letting us share your story and the bond that you guys now have for the rest of your lives. christina, luis, thank you for being here. we're glad that you're doing well, chris and abraham that your recovery is going well as well. so thank you guys so much. everybody, stay right there. we'll be right back.

we are back now with a new way to declutter your life and improve your home and mood at the same time. a big promise. dan harris, you got tips. >> as mr. meditation guy, i was a little skeptical about this at first. i approached it a little warily. decluttering seems a little superficial but now having experienced ts trsly cvert. >> hi.
8:42 am
>> reporter: this woman is balancing a demanding full time job and two young daughters. sometimes lost in the mad scramble of everyday life fining the time and energy to clean up the clutter. >> people come over and i'm always like apologizing for my house being a mess. >> do you think having kids put natural cluttering capacities on steroids. >> i think we're not normal and the kids have active social live, birthday pears almost every weekend so it leaves very little time for it. >> reporter: gretchen rubin is the author of "outer order, inner calm." >> some people want to get to the place where all the jars match and all the labels are typed and all the hangars match and that kind of thing. for me it's just about getting rid of the stuff we don't need, use are 0 love. >> which is one of her main hacks. when trying to figure out what to keep or chuck ask yourself do you need it, love it or use it?
8:43 am
>> these look like a lot of magazines and catalogs. >> we learned another gretchen concept, clutter amnesty. >> you say everything you have is going to put it in the recycling and maybe you're months behind in a magazine you love, or you're just going to start over from now. >> clutter amnesty is declaring an end to feeling guilty for unfinished project, clearing the slate and starting afresh. here it is. gretchen gave me similar advice when she helped me declutter my own office. that drum set sitting in the corner perpetually unplayed. >> i've never actually set it up. >> get rid of it, she said. >> all these can go. >> i also donated a mound of books i never read. >> gretchen is going to be so proud of me. when we sat down for an interview i asked her about another of her catchphrases. ba about the x factor. >> you're thinking about whether you want to keep or donate an item of clothing, you say if i were walking down the street an ran into my ex wearing this particular item, would i be glad i was wearing it or would i wish
8:44 am
i i were not wearing it? >> okay. falling objects. >> kesari spent the next couple of months using the practice on her master bedroom closet and i finished my office. >> i think it looks really good and used to be filled with all of this visual noise that was gretchen's term, just reminders of projects i need to set that was here that i wasn't playing and now it's much cleaner and my mind is clearer. kesari felt the same way. outer order created inner calm. >> now that it's done, it feels great but to be able to move around in your closet and pull things out without having a domino effect of all your stuff falling on ton of you is quite nice. >> her actions extending to her daughters who decided to tackle their own playroom clutter. >> you want to keep doing this, sweetie? >> uh-huh. >> how come. >> it makes me happy to give stuff away for other people and there's lots of room for other
8:45 am
toys. >> me too. [ applause ] >> i've been surprised by the kind of impact this has had. a chat with gretchen about why it can have such a positive psychological impact and came up with the following reasons. one is life is easier. you can find things. another is you have less conflict with other people over, you know, the mess. another is decluttering eliminates bad feelings, guilt over the unused stuff or unfinished projects or fantasy selves you've never achieved like for me 2kru78ing a lot and get energized about the stuff that's left. oh, wow, i have more -- feels like i have more to wear and finally we project our identities into our surroundings so if you like the way your atmosphere looks you may like yourself more. >> you don't miss the drums? >> i actually have been going to practice space and playing with friends on a real drum set so i still play. >> there you go. >> there you go. >> might not have even done
8:46 am
that. >> odd'm still bad at it. i don't know why that is. >> gretchen has the one-minute rule. >> it doesn't have to be a massive project that takes over your whole week. if you have something quick you can do like put the clothes away or open a piece of mail and it can be done in under a minute, do it right away. >> get it out of the way. >> great advice. >> you can get more of her tips on dan's podcast 10% happier on our website. over to rob. >> it's hot again. stay inside crank up the ac, maybe declutter or go to the coast. seaside heights, new jersey, the roller coaster will be rolling. upper 0s, low 90s away from the coastline but take a swim and cool off. be >> good morning. new week, new weather. no more spare the air. no more heat. look at this. in the 60s, 70s and 80s this afternoon. my accuweather forecast does get
