and covid actually. >> yeah, that's coming up. a lot of people so eager to hear what he has to say. so many more school districts ready to re-open. we want to begin with president trump heading to kenosha, wisconsin in the wake of the police shooting of jacob blake after being urged by the mayor and the governor not to visit. senior white house correspondent cecilia vega joins us now with the latest and, cecilia, the president has not spoken to the blake family yet? >> reporter: yeah, tom, they haven't spoken. it doesn't look like they will any time soon. the president says he doesn't want lawyers involved in the situation. the family wants their attorney, ben crump, involved on the call. in a matter of hours president trump heads to kenosha. with wisconsin's governor and kenosha's mayor urging president trump to cancel his trip, overnight the president said he still plans to go even against their wishes. >> i am a tremendous fan of law enforcement and i want to thank the law enforcement. they've done a good job. >> reporter: some local officials saying his visit would do little to heal the city's wounds in the wake of jacob blake's shooting.

at the white house president trump claimed his visit could actually help. >> it could also increase enthusiasm and it could increase love and respect for our country. >> reporter: the president also defended kyle rittenhouse, the teenager accused of fatally shooting two demonstrators in kenosha. >> he was trying to get away from them, i guess, it looks like, and he fell and then they very violently attacked him. he probably would have been killed. it's under investigation. >> reporter: he did say he does not believe private citizens should be taking up arms at protests. >> i'd like to see law enforcen to give our cops back their dignity. >> reporter: on fox news the president also compared police use of force to a game of golf. >> the police are under siege. they can do 10,000 great acts which is what they do and one bad apple or a choker, you know, a choker, they choke. they choke. just like in a golf tournament they miss a three-foot putt. >> you're not comparing it to golf because that's what the media is saying. >> i'm saying people choke.

>> people panic. >> they choke. and people are bad people. you have both. >> repr:itthelection now just 63 days away, president trump leaning in to his law and order message, zeroing in on the unrest in portland declining to condemn a caravan of his supporters who clashed with protestors demanding racial justice, witnesses say some of those supporters fired paint ball guns at demonstrators. >> paint as a defensive mechanism. paint is not bullets. >> reporter: later in the evening this shooting turning deadly. police identifying the victim as 39-year-old aaron danielson of portland seen wearing a blue fy a hat belonging to a right wing group. now, democratic rival joe biden on the campaign trail and shrugging off the president's accusations that he's a soft on crime radical. >> do i look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? really? i want a safe america, safe from covid. safe from crime and looting. safe from racially motivated violence.

safe from bad cops. let me be crystal clear, safe from four more years of donald trump. >> reporter: the former vice president condemning violence at protests and placing the blame on president trump. >> fires are burning and we have a president who fans the flames. >> reporter: there was also this completely head scratching moment in that fox interview where the president was asked who was pulling joe biden's strings and he went on and gave an explanation that offered little evidence or little clarity. he said certain people got on a plane in a certain city wearing dark uniforms carrying gear, they wanted to do damage. he called them people in dark shadows that are calling the streets. even the fox news host who is a supporter oed le a comple nsra we did just get a statement in from the biden campaign. they say that donald trump's incomprehensible case for doing even more damage in a second term makes less and less sense every day.

>> cecilia vega for us, thank n latest. united states has now surpassed 6 million covid cases and california is now reporting august as their deadliest month of the pandemic. these are alarming numbers coming with new reports of covid rates rising faster in kids this summer as school districts re-open across the country. our eva pilgrim outside a high school in brooklyn with more. good morning to you, eva. >> reporter: good morning, t.j. yes, schools across the country are facing the same challenge this year, getting students safely back into the classroom and keeping them there. as the u.s. reaches that new milestone, 6 million people infected with coronavirus, president trump taking aim at dr. anthony fauci, the nation's top infectious disease doctor, overnight. >> if you had to do it again,

would you put dr. fauci front and center every day? >> i disagree with a lot of what he said. he said keep it open for china. that was a big mistake and he admits it. every once in a while he comes up with one that i say where did this come from? i inherited him. he was here. he was a part of this huge piece of machinery. i did put anybody in charge. >> reporter: this as families try to navigate going back to school with covid cases rising. new analysis fines while children remain less likely to have severe symptoms from the virus, covid rates this summer among children increased faster than they did for the general public. though experts don't know why yet. >> i think that we should be concerned about this in the sense that we should be concerned about increasing rates of covid across the board. similarly to adults, we do see that black and brown children are more significantly affected by covid infection and maybe more likely to have more severe illnesses. >> reporter: with back to school anxiety at an all-time high

teachers in volusia county, florida voicing outrage after they say they were told the school district won't tell staff and parents about covid cases, instead leaving it up to the health department. >> parents have the right to know what kind of environment they're sending their students into. employees have the right to know what kind of working conditions they're going into. >> reporter: meanwhile scenes like this near college campuses infuriating local officials and raising concerns. not a single mask in this packed pool near the university of south carolina. and those local officials in south carolina saying even if covid wasn't an issue, there were just too many people packed into that pool. amy? >> all right, eva pilgrim, thank you. we're joined now live by the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases, dr. anthony fauci. dr. fauci, thanks for being with us. i'm sure you have heard the president just speaking about you to fox news saying that he doesn't always agree with you. he says he inherited you.

do you think the president trusts you and your advice? >> yeah, you know, i think he does. i think when you get statements like that, that doesn't really reflect what actually goes on. i mean, i was at the white house yesterday at a task force meeting and with the vice president and everything that we discussed, including what you just spoke about regarding children, regarding what's going on, gets to the president. he understands that. so i think that's kind of a distraction to pit me against the president. we're all on the same team. >> johns hopkins said that the u.s. has 6 million covid cases, over 183,000 deaths in the united states. so can you explain why the president would retweet a theory that suggests only 9,000 people have died of covid-19 here? >> well, you know, when the cdc came out with a statement which really did reflect the reality that, in fact, if you look at the people who have been -- who

died of covid disease, the point that the cdc was trying to make was that a certain percentage of them had nothing else but just covid. that does not mean that someone who has hypertension or diabetes who dies of covid didn't die of covid-19. they did. so the numbers that you've been hearing, the 180,000 plus deaths, are real deaths from covid-19. let there not be any confusion about that. it's not 9,000 deaths from covid-19. it's 180 plus thousand deaths. >> now, dr. fauci, the cdc changed its testing guidelines last week from recommending testing all close contacts of infected persons with covid-19 to saying if you're asymptomatic you don't need to get tested. the white house testing czar said you were on board with that change. is it true and if so, why that change? >> you know, that did create some confusion. the confusion has been straightened out now.

the way that sentence was said, it gave the impression that they're not concerned about community spread and that people who are asymptomatic should not be tested. it's very clear and there was an admission that caused some confusion. that has been straightened out right now. there is no doubt that there's asymptomatic infection and asymptomatic people can transmit and you can and should test asymptomatic people. what the guideline was trying to do was try to make the point that not everyone who wants to be tested should be tested. only if you need to be tested. understandably, that was confusing. hopefully that's been straightened out now. >> all right. also we had new reports of covid cases rising among kids and then we heard from the president's new pandemic adviser, dr. scott atlas, who said yesterday schools should be open to in-person learning and college athletes should take the field saying, quote, we are the only country of our peer nations in the western world who are this hysterical about opening schools. do you agree with that?

>> well, no. i think it's a little bit more complicated than that. maybe it was taken a bit out of context and they didn't give dr. atlas a chance to fully explain that. i mean, obviously when you're looking at opening schools, the country is a large country and there are parts of the country that we call green zones where you could without real impunity open schools as long as you're careful, wearing masks and things like that. but there are areas part of the yellow zone and certainly in the red zone, when there's a lot of viral activity in the community, you have to take a careful look about if and how you are going to open the schools. you may be able to do it with certain precautions. physical separation, alternating of classes, hybrid approaches but there are some areas where there is such a high degree of infection that you really want to be careful if you do that. i might say, though, importantly the best way to get schools open is decrease the level and rate

of infection in your community. so if you're in a red zone, get yourself into a yellow or green zone and then we wouldn't be having this discussion about whether or not to open the schools. so as a community, we need to pull together as communities instead of trying to determine should you go into school in this particular zone. get out of the red zone. get your community, your city, your state into a yellow or a green zone and then that would be much safer to get children to school. >> by wearing masks, social distancing and using good hand hygiene. >> exactly. right. >> now, i wanted to talk about vaccines because a third potential vaccine has entered phase three trials in the united states. the fda commissioner has now said a vaccine could be approved for emergency use before phase 3 trials are completed if there's enough data to show it's safe. is that a safe and effective way to move forward with the vaccine? >> well, i've always said and i think virtually all of my colleagues agree -- and i don't

think that's so much different from what dr. hahn said if you talk about what he's actually meaning. you don't want a vaccine to be available widely to the american public unless it's been shown to be safe and effective. safe and effective. >> all right, dr. anthony fauci, we appreciate certainly your time and expertise this morning. thank you. >> good to be with you. thank you for having me. >> tom? >> amy, thank you. turning now to that major flash flooding overnight in north carolina. turning roads into rivers and prompting dramatic rescues. ginger is tracking the latest for us this morning. ginger, good morning. >> reporter: tom, good morning. at least two children are missing in smithfield, north carolina. they were rescuing them and their mother and they only got the mom out. they're still looking for them this morning. they've had nearly a foot of rain from there, back to four oaks. that's less that an hour

southeast of raleigh. then central and northern north carolina, big time rain, talking to six to eight inches that fell quickly just yesterday. you can see salisbury, north carolina looks it. in oklahoma flash flooding too just in the last couple of hours, two to three inches an hour. flash flood warnings in place from there right through ft. smith into arkansas. watch for training thunderstorms this morning. let's go back to amy. >> all right, ginger. thank you. now to that new investigation into evangelical leader jerry falwell jr. who was forced out as president of liberty university amid a sex scandal. the university announcing it is launching an independent probe into all aspects of falwell's tenure, including financial matters. kyra phillips has the story. >> reporter: liberty university announcing an independent investigation into its former president, jerry falwell jr., after the embattled evangelical leader of the largest christian college in the country resigned amid an alleged sex scandal. the board of trustees issuing a statement last night, now calling for a thorough

investigation into all financial, real estate and legal matters while falwell was at the helm of the school, hiring a top forensic team to do the job. falwell's exit coming after a series of scandals. first this racy photo he posted on social media with his arm around his wife's assistant. he apologized and took it down, saying it was just in good fun from a costume party. then the explosive news story about falwell, his wife becki and a pool attendant and former business partner, giancarlo granda. the 29-year-old claiming he had a seven-year affair with becki as falwell at times looked on. falwell denies any involvement. granda spoke exclusively with "gma" on friday about the affair. >> jerry is lying. that was his game plan from the beginning to just throw her under the bus, which i think speaks a lot about who he is, about his character and he was aware from day one of our

relationship. >> reporter: this morning, the falwells telling me not only do they welcome this investigation but that this process will vindicate them, and a source connected to liberty university telling me this investigation was launched due to an increasing demand from board members and donors. the falwells again telling me they have nothing to hide. amy? >> all right. kyra phillips, we appreciate it. following a lot of other headlines including new details on chadwick boseman's very private battle with colon cancer and the powerful new message from his "black panther" co-star. and how authorities rescued a 1-year-old boy snatched from his stroller at gunpoint. first let's go back to ginger. we'll get you straight to the tuesday trivia sponsored by ancestry.

social media post. the singer wearing her hair in a traditional african hairstyle caught in the cross fire of an argument over cultural appropriation versus appreciation. janai norman is back with that story. good morning again, janai. >> reporter: hey, amy. it can be a fine line between honoring and respecting another culture versus demeaning and dishonoring a culture that's not your own. but in the case of adele, which side of that line she's on really depends on who you ask and what their culture is. ♪ hello from the outside >> reporter: this morning, adele is saying hello to controversy over this photo posting, happy what would be notting hill carnival my beloved london, meant to honor the annual festival celebrating british west indian culture. some black jamaicans consider it a compliment that the songstress wore a jamaica flagged bikini and bantu knots to celebrate the jamaican carnival, but the response wide ranging. earnest stowens calling it the cultural appropriation that

nobody asked for, adding hate to see it. but some black britons unbothered like david lami pointing out the festival's traditional dress up adding adele grew up in a highly diverse and multicultural neighborhood in london. so she gets it more than most. cultural consultant dr. yaba says it's the traditionally black hairstyle that crosses the line from appreciation to appropriation. >> so, adele, if you're not going to wear that hairstyle on a red carpet, if you don't appreciate it so much as to wear it to a boardroom, then it does feel like a costume in this moment. black women don't have that same luxury to put on an off hairstyle and still be regarded in the same way. >> reporter: the response is similar to when the kardashians wearing cornrows or 'do rags are hailed as fashionable but others doing the same, specifically black americans is seen as unprofessional. >> there's a continual and

repetitive practice, if you will, of folks that aren't black being able to benefit from our rhythm without having to suffer from our blues. as a white woman you are able to wear a hairstyle that many of us would be denigrated for. >> reporter: this debate really highlights the nuance that's often neglected and overlooked when we use general terms like black people and black culture that broadly try to paint it as a singular idea which, t.j., you know very well is not. >> of course. we know but always that debate and good to bring some attention to it for folks who might not know as much as they thought they did about it. thank you so much, janai. we want to turn to how teens are coping during the pandemic. an exclusive look at a nationwide survey revealing the ways they're helping each other get through it including a mental health guide by teens for teens. our eva pilgrim is back with more on that. good morning to you again, eva. >> reporter: t.j., this new

make sure not to sit around with no type of structure in your day. >> reporter: the guide is ento other cope with the emotional effects of the pandemic. >> the mental stress that was there already has just been exponentially increased and, you don't have to be an adult to feel it. teens and adolescents feel it too and need a way to process it and talk about it. >> reporter: for many teens maintaining social connections goes a long way. >> it's really important to call your friends, check in on them, make sure they're okay, but it's difficult. >> reporter: and for parents, don't forget, if you're feeling overwhelmed your kids probably are too. >> take a few minutes every night if you can and touch base with your kids. ask how their day is going. it will go a long way in helping them feel they can express any fears, concerns or frustrations

that they have. >> reporter: and there are three themes consistent in the teens' advice. one the need for self-care, two, helping loved ones and, three, how to handle remote learning. the big takeaway if you need help, ask for it. tom? >> that is great advice, all right, eva, thank you so much for that. we want to turn to the former bachelor who tried to find love not once, but four times. nick viall relived the time he was the one giving out the roses last night on "the bachelor: the greatest seasons ever." will reeve joins us with more. will, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tom. the fourth time was not the charm for nick viall but he was game to go down memory lane and revisit all the almosts and heartbreaks.when it comes to he nick viall knows his stuff. >> no? >> my heart is just with somebody else. i'm sorry. er-up one ng love on "bachelor in paradise," he became the bachelor. so what's it like for nick watching back his season?

we'll have another update in about 30 minutes. ♪bout 30 minutes. welcome back to "gma." you're looking at our exclusive first look at the new art for the upcoming emmys. jimmy kimmel is set to host and executive produce television's biggest night with everyone including emmy herself following all safety protocols, the 72nd emmy awards airs september 20th at 8:00 p.m. eastern, 5:00 pacific right here on abc. and another big event we can talk about, one of the biggest music festivals of the year, farm aid. nothing will stop these artists from performing for family farmers. great music but in a different way and we'll chat with a couple of headliners, dave matthews and margo price in a moment but first let's check out how farm aid began.

♪ i was born in a small town >> reporter: for the past 35 years, farm aid has helped family farms thrive promoting a vibrant agriculture and encouraging communities to buy the good food local family farms produce. but with covid-19 creating more challenges and uncertain futures the need to keep america growing is even greater. ♪ music legends neil young, willie nelson, dave matthews and john mellencamp have helped organize the farm aid festival raising nearly $60 million over the s. this year theye takinghe show on the ro♪ >> and dave matthews and margo price are both with us live this morning. looks like you're feeling good.

good morning to you both. >> yeah, oh, so that's dave. we want to hear about the concert in just a bit, but first i want to talk quarantine with you. i know you performed a virtual celebration for the university of virginia's 2020 graduating class with a new song which is pretty cool, the message, singing from the windows. tell us about it. >> oh, i don't know if that's the message, but that is what it's called. do you remember those videos of italian people mostly happily or mostly sadly but it was sort of melancholic singing out of their windows in all these neighborhoods in italy? so i sort of wrote a song that refers hopefully not too overtly to that situation of where we are, but with i guess the hook of the song just singing from the windows which i guess in some way we do anyway in our lives but it was specifically

inspired by that. and it's just a song about, you know, thinking about where we are, i suppose. i don't know. i never know what anything is about. that's up to you. it did seem timely and it was nice to be involved in -- i can't keep still now that i know that somebody is out there. hi, margo. >> that was all crystal clear there, dave. thanks for that. margo, let me bring you in. how has the time been for you? you have a fairly new baby at home. a little over a year old but new pets and some things we've been seeing on instagram. you have new pets? >> yes, i think, you know, for a lot of touring musicians it's a great time to -- >> oh, wow. >> -- just plant a garden, take care of home life which we don't get to do so we're finding the silver lining here. >> okay, i said new pets. i didn't think the number -- how many pets are we talking about here, margo? >> we've got two dogs, a new

puppy and then we have a cat that had kittens. so that was really exciting. we have just two kittens left now and, yeah, it's been a lot of animals to take care of. the kids are loving it. so it's something to occupy them. >> a busy quarantine for sure. i want to go back to dave. dave, you and the band starting playing farm aid back in 1995 and in 2001 you decided to get more involved. you're now on the board. what was it for you personally that made you want to do more for farm aid. >> it was probably performing at farm aid. so being invited to join the board was really exciting because i do think that they're at the heart of everything and, margo would know this more than i would but at the heart of everything that we -- human beings have is farming and but it seems all too often that the farmers are the people that are

forgotten and or at least they are voiceless and their struggles remain very often unheard and, you know, now is the time when farm workers and farmers are struggling, you know, in ways more than anybody again because of the crisis. it's just -- but i think what made me want to be part of it is the idea that we could give a voice to the struggles of the working family farmers and what they go through and just shine a light on what greatness they bring us, the food they bring us but also that they struggle and that they don't often get heard. >> yeah, and, margo, we heard dave reference this. i know this is your fifth year performing but this is a very personal endeavor for you. >> yeah, without a doubt. i come from a long line of

thiisayor me to just pay tribute to what they did and be able to help other people that are -- farming has really been preparing for a crisis like this all along, you know, at a time when we need to help family farmers and small businesses. the moment is now. >> 35 years and like you said something farm aid has been preparing for and the lineup this year has to be a little different, of course, but it's going to be virtual and do need to let them know streaming for free but the lineup is going to include certainly you two but also willie nelson, john mellencamp, neil young just to name a few there, tom. >> sounds incredible and we heard about brandi carlisle, black pumas and lucas nelson, as well and many, many more. >> what part are you looking most forward to? >> margo, what are you looking forward most -- margo's part of it because i'm always looking forward to margo as she'll

attest. sometimes she has to escape my person -- >> i'm looking forward to everybody being able to be there because i think every year i always have a lot of friends and family that hit me up for tickets. of course, i can't get them to them because it's a benefit but this year everybody can attend. there's no limit on who can be there and i think that's incredible. but i'm also looking forward -- >> margot and dave, thanks so much for your time. we look forward to farm aid. find out the lineup on our website plus where you can stream it on september 26th.
