election day. we're now hearing from the chief scientific adviser for president trump's "operation warp speed" saying that's extremely unlikely. which one is it? >> well, good morning. thank you for having me. i want your viewers to understand i've actually gotmy is about 1 thanksholulu fire foth anon vaccines it's not we've always said that we are hopeful for a vaccine by the end of this year or beginning of next year. tony fauci has affirmed that in the last 48 hours several times but that said, it's not just about having a vaccine that's safe and effective, but it's about being ready to distribute it. what i would hate is for us to have a vaccine and still not get to the people who most need it. on the chance that the vaccine could be available early and dr. fauci and dr. slaou say it's possible even though not probable, we want to make sure states are ready to distribute it. hence, the november 1st recommendations from the cdc just in case it's ready to

quickly get it to the people who most need it. >> that november 1st date right before election day. you're the surgeon general. you sit on that task force. can you guarantee to the american public that this race for a vaccine is tied to science and what's safe for the american people and not a re-election effort? >> well, what people need to understand is we have what are called data safety monitoring boards that blind the data and so it won't be possible to actually move forward unless this independent board thinks that there is good evidence that these vaccines are efficacious and they already have been through phase 1 and phase 2 trials, so they feel reasonably good about the safety so far. we just want to make sure it's effective and the most -- the most telling thing i can say to people is that when there is a covid vaccine available, i and my family will be in line to get it. i think it will be safe. i think it will be effective and i think it will help us end the outbreak. >> okay, let's talk about labor day weekend, because it's here. a lot of people want to get together with their friends and families, but we've seen spikes in cases around other holiday weekends. what are you most concerned

about on this friday morning? >> well, i'm very concerned when you look at memorial day, july 4th. we hit a peak on july 24th, which was about two to three weeks after the fourth of july, so we know that during these holidays, people come together for barbecues and picnic and travel and sets us up for the spread of covid-19. what we know right now going into labor day weekend is that we've had a decrease of about 40% in cases since that july 24th peak, so we're moving in the right direction, but we can't afford to backslide. we're going into the high holy holidays. yom kippur and rosh hashanah and i spoke with rabbis earlier this week. we have kids going back to school, we've got flu season coming up, and we want to start off on a good note, not behind the eight ball. so we need everyone to follow the three ws. wash your hands, watch your distance, meaning avoid crowded indoor spaces and stay six feet or more from people, and wear a mask when you're out in public. we know these things work. look at arizona who was worst in the nation for a time.

but is now one of the best in the nation and so i want people to understand we have the tools to keep this virus under control. we just all need to come together and have the will to actually utilize these tools. >> the three ws, dr. adams. thank you so much. tom. >> thank you. turning to president trump. firing back at a report overnight alleging he made disparaging comments against fallen soldiers and mary bruce is in washington with more on this. mary, good morning. >> reporter: tom, good morning. well, the president is furious. he stepped off air force one last night fuming and marched straight over to reporters to deliver a lengthy, angry response to this report. the president is denying all of these allegations and saying it's just a made up attempt to hurt his re-election. overnight, a visibly angry president trump denying explosive allegations that he made disparaging remarks about america's fallen soldiers. >> i would be willing to swear on anything that i never said that about our fallen heroes. there is nobody that respects them more. >> reporter: in a new report, "the atlantic" writes, trump called americans who died

during war "losers" and "sucker." and backed off the visit to a french cemetery because he didn't think it was important to honor them. the story cites four people with firsthand knowledge but does not name them and abc news has not confirmed these details. trump says it's entirely fabricated. >> they made it up and probably it's a couple of people that have been failures in the administration that i got rid of and i couldn't get rid of them fast enough, but -- or it was just made up. >> reporter: but the president has made disparaging comments in the past famously going after late senator john mccain who was held captive and tortured as a prisoner of war in vietnam. >> i never liked him as much after that because i don't like losers, but -- frankly -- let me get to him. he hit me. >> he's a war hero. >> he's not a war hero. >> he is a war hero. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. okay, i hate to tell you.

>> reporter: trump falsely insists he never called mccain a loser, and overnight boasted of his involvement in planning his funeral which he was not invited to attend. >> all that had to be approved by the president. i approved it without hesitation, without complaint, and i felt he deserved it. i disagreed with him on things and he was a tough guy. >> reporter: the president's forceful rebuttal comes as he tries to shore-up support from the military counting on them to help him win re-election. >> to think i would make statements negative to our military and our fallen heroes when nobody's done what i've done with the budgets, with the military budgets, with getting pay raises for our military, all they're trying to do is influence a presidential election. >> reporter: now, today begins the official run-up to that election. officials in north carolina are now sending out the first ballots. the president, of course, has been baselessly attacking mail-in voting and now he's encouraging his supporters to try to test the integrity of that system saying they should

try to vote by mail, but also try to go vote in person. the biden campaign has been quick to point out that trying to vote twice is illegal. cecilia. >> all right, mary bruce, thank you so much. we're following a lot of other headlines this morning, including the fallout over that stunning confession by a white college professor who's been pretending to be black and latina for years. and then an abc exclusive, breonna taylor's boyfriend in his first interview. but first let's go to rob. >> good morning, amy. had some rough storms roll across the east last night, and some damage in and around the d.c. area. at least one reported tornado in maryland and this damage probably just straight-line winds but there you see it. a lot of people without power. that's all moved out. you'll sizzle this labor day weekend. time now for your weekend forecast brought to you by caesars rewards.

news too. we do want to begin with that confession from a history professor at george washington university. jessica krug revealed she is a white woman pretending to be black and latina for years and adrienne bankert has more on this confusing story. good morning, adrienne. >> reporter: yes, some could call it confusing or bizarre. good morning to you, cecilia. and it might even sound familiar to you. this woman admitting to this huge charade but now she's also giving us reasons as to why. she feigned being black and latina. this morning, a white woman is saying she's cancelling herself, revealing decades of deception. in a lengthy confession posted to medium, george washington university professor jessica krug writes every relationship i formed has been rooted in the napalm toxic soil of lies. i'm not a culture vulture. i'm a culture leech. she admits to appropriating

various assumes identities within a blackness i had no right to claim, krug has been teaching african culture and history at the school since 2012 often posing as puerto rican. >> i felt like i connected to her early on because i thought we had such similar experiences. >> reporter: the 38-year-old born to white parents and raised in suburban kansas city is seen here addressing the new york city council in june. >> thank you much power to all my siblings who are standing up, my black and brown siblings. >> reporter: often claiming ties to the bronx, she spoke at columbia university in 2019 about what she said was her difficult upbringing. >> i experienced this a lot. like, people trying to keep me off the street, not really but -- >> reporter: many of her students say she was unconventional but passionate in her teaching methods. >> i did trust her like everybody else so i never thought to question her. >> i thought i found like a kindred spirit in this professor. >> it's all a sham. you can't really trust it. >> every class is tied back to her roots.

>> reporter: krug says she's remorseful she built a life and career under a false background. >> i knew when i saw her titles that she's taken up a lot of space in a lane of academia very narrow in general and specifically difficult to get into if you are actually a black woman. >> reporter: a number of activists and scholars who associated with her pulling her work. krug says that she's battled unaddressed mental health demons for years, but says it's no excuse for crafting her narrative from, quote, the fabric of black lives. her story reminiscent of rachel dolezal, also an african studies teacher and former president of the spokane naacp who maintains she is black even after her parents publicly revealed in 2015 she was born white. unlike dolezal who said in a 2017 interview with "the guardian," i'm not going to stoop and apologize and grovel and feel bad about it. krug is apologizing and says her whole life has been based on a lie. >> so the people that this scam hurts most are actual women of

color, actual light skinned black women who will then be viewed with suspicion who will then have to sort of prove their identity. >> reporter: and the university is reportedly looking into this whole issue. krug writes in that article saying that her cowardice was always more powerful than her ethics. amy. >> what a story. all right, thank you very much, adrienne. we turn to breonna taylor. it has been 175 days since police killed the emergency medical worker in her own home. well, now, in a new documentary we are getting an exclusive look at the first interview with her boyfriend, kenneth walker, who was there the night she was shot as well as private family home videos. steve osunsami joins us now with more on this. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, amy. this adds more volume to the calls for charges in this case.

>> just for the record that was the name. kenbre, i like that. but, everything was going really good. >> reporter: but on march 13th everything changed with a bang on their door. >> help. oh, my god. >> what's happening? >> it was late. it was in between watching movie and playing uno and we decided to do both. we didn't make it halfway through the uno game before she was falling asleep. the last thing she said was turn off the tv. and next thing i remember is a ud >> reporter: they didn't know it right away but it was the police charging through the door with a no-knock warrant signed by a judge. the police were looking for drugs that weren't there. walker was legally carrying a gun and says he fired it in self-defense. the police shot back killing taylor who was shot five times. one of the officers was shot in the leg and at first they arrested walker for attempted murder.

you see him surrendering here but those charges were later dropped. >> the charges brought against me were meant to silence me and cover up breonna's murder. >> reporter: in this police interview after the shoot, you hear walker insist this was the fault of the police and not his. >> it's the middle of the night. somebody is beating on the door and not saying who they are, like, you know, what are you going to do if you're home with your family and somebody is beating on your door and you don't know who it is after you've asked who it is. when the door comes offer the hinges, it's just -- it's happening fast. it was like an explosion. >> reporter: walker is now suing the city of louisville and the louisville police for assault, battery, false arrest and malicious imprisonment. the fbi and kentucky authorities are still investigating. the director of this documentary says she hopes her film underlines the injustice that needs to be addressed in this case. >> the loss of this young woman's life is not just the

loss of breonna's life, ture wi. the loss to her friends and her family, she was a mentor to people, to her friends. i mean she was a young woman at the bloom of her life. >> reporter: walker's attorneys point out that he was arrested within hours after the shooting. wrongly, they argue, but it's been six months they say since the shooting and investigators still don't really know what happened outside that apartment. amy. >> all right, steve osunsami, thank you. and "the new york times" presents "the killing of breonna taylor" premieres tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern and pacific on fx and fx on hulu. tom. >> okay, amy, thank you. coming up next, the latest on the batman movie shut down. the production starring robert pattinson on pause after someone on the film tested positive for covid. plus, we're inside one movie theater with some of the big changes to help keep you safe for the big return. stay with us. stay with us. this isn't just a bandage
