this morning, an exclusive first look at the docuseries taking a deeper dive into his mysterious disappearance only on "gma" this morning. we appreciate you being with us on this thursday morning, and michael and george, of course, we want to get right to our top story. anger, unrest nationwide after that grand jury decision to decline charging those three officers in the fatal shooting of 26-year-old emt breonna taylor in her home, michael. >> americans are reacting to the explosive ruling across the country. protests taking over streets in major cities from coast to coast. mostly peaceful, but in breonna's hometown, some pockets of violence erupting in louisville. >> we're going to hear from the attorney for breonna taylor's family, benjamin crump, in just a moment. first, alex perez starts us off in louisville where two police officers were shot last night. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, george. a busy night of clashes between

police and protesters here. the reaction to the grand jury decision was almost immediate, crowds taking to the streets. overnight, demonstrators taking to the streets in louisville, clashing with police, setting multiple small fires and smashing a bus stop in the downtown area. officers arresting almost 100 people. at least two louisville officers shot. one undergoing surgery after being struck in his abdomen. the other shot in the thigh. the kentucky governor deploying the national guard to the city after the mayor declared a state of emergency ordering a 72-hour overnight curfew. >> i'm asking everybody, please, go home. >> reporter: the protests coming after a grand jury declined to charge three police officers for killing breonna taylor during a botched raid at her home in march. >> according to kentucky law, the use of force by mattingly and cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. >> reporter: former officer brett hankison was charged with

three counts of first degree wanton endangerment, not for firing the shots that killed breonna but for recklessly shooting into a neighboring apartment. he was booked and released on $15,000 bail. this instagram post from breonna's sister, sister, i am so sorry. protesters on the ground reacting to the grand jury's decision to not charge anyone for her death with anger and disappointment. >> the only words i can say is i just don't understand why. >> it's not enough. >> reporter: many also raising serious questions about the investigation. the attorney general saying his investigation found that the raid was not executed as a no-knock warrant as previously reported. >> the statements that were made by officers there the night -- or the morning of march 13th show that they did knock and announce. the important point here is that information was corroborated by another witness who was in close proximity. >> reporter: but this

contradicts officer mattingly's own account of what happened that night. >> the first bang on the door, did not announce. i think after that we did. >> reporter: this backed up by kenneth walker, breonna's boyfriend. he was inside the apartment at the time of the raid and he says that's why he fired a shot in self-defense. the attorney general also declined for now to release the grand jury report or even reveal any details about the grand jury itself raising questions about the racial makeup of the group that decided to not charge any of the officers with breonna's death. breonna's family settled a civil suit with the city just last week, and now saying, the charges fall far short of what constitutes justice. president trump and joe biden reacting to the announcement with very different responses. >> well, i thought it was really brilliant. kentucky attorney general, daniel cameron, is doing a fantastic job.

i think he's a star. >> my heart goes out to her mother, and i understand there's protests that are started. they should be peaceful. do not sully her memory by engaging in any violence. >> reporter: and the attorney general notes there is still an ongoing federal investigation into breonna's case to determine if that warrant was properly obtained and if her civil rights from violated. robin? >> all right, alex. thank you. now the emotional reactions across the country to that grand jury decision. the fatal police shooting of breonna taylor has been a central theme of protests calling for police reform this year. steve osunsami joins us with more on the national call for change. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. those calls for police reform are growing louder after this case. >> 150 days and nothing changed. >> all: breonna taylor! >> reporter: they were rising up and saying her name in protests overnight across the country. in new york, chicago, atlanta, you name the city.

in portland, things got violent when the marchers threw firebombs at police, and in buffalo, someone driving this truck tore through a crowd of marchers and hit someone on a bicycle. >> whoa! whoa! >> reporter: the people who were marching peacefully were able to find and stop the driver. >> get his license plate. >> reporter: upset doesn't begin to describe the feeling of many americans, many black americans in particular, who feel that the officers who killed breonna taylor should have been charged with murder. the one officer facing any charges at all is only in trouble because he's accused of firing bullets into apartments of neighbors who were white. >> this was expected by many people, and many people are sort of really sitting with the fact that the system that killed breonna taylor can never deliver justice for her killing. >> reporter: from lebron james in the nba, we want justice for breonna, yet justice was met for her neighbor's apartment walls and not her beautiful life.

from former nfl quarterback colin kaepernick, the white supremacist institution of policing that stole breonna taylor's life from us must be abolished for the safety and well-being of our people. but there are also voices who are speaking out for the police this morning, including a former head of louisville's naacp. >> when they entered the apartment, they were shot at. one of them was hit. they had the right and were justified in defending themselves. as i have said many times before, it's unfortunate that this young lady was killed, and i grieve for her. many of us in this community grieve for her. >> reporter: there's a feeling in some corners of this country that justice continues to fail black families when it comes to police interactions. with black men walking or running away as they're being gunned down by white police officers.

but taylor's death underlined that black women are dying this way too. she was an emt. she made her living saving lives. very much like black men, black women are at a higher risk of dying at the hands of police, nearly one and a half times more likely than white women and they're more likely to be killed in their own home. taylor's family said, if you believe this morning that justice is being served in this case, imagine if this daughter was yours. in hindsight, we now know the police should never been at this young woman's door. and here's what's at the heart of the anger. there is no one who can reasonably argue that breonna taylor did anything to deserve the bullets that were fired into her apartment that took her life. michael? >> thank you, steve. joining us now is the attorney for breonna taylor's family, ben crump. mr. crump, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you, michael. thank you for having me. >> and we know that this verdict

is far from the murder charges breonna's mother tamika called for. what was her reaction, and how is breonna's family doing this morning? >> they're outraged and offended because like me and my co-counsels, they want to know that attorney general daniel cameron even presented any evidence for breonna taylor in that grand jury proceeding. and if so, what was it because how did they come up with a result like this? he talked about transparency. well, show us what you presented to the grand jury because obviously breonna taylor did not have a voice in that proceeding. >> according to the attorney general, no charges were filed against the two officers who shot breonna because the investigation found that the officers didn't shoot first and they were justified in returning fire after taylor's boyfriend fired at them. what is your response to that? >> everybody has said, breonna did not have a gun.

breonna did not pose a threat to the police. so for you now to say because her boyfriend kenny walker who has a right to the second amendment, if you believe every citizen has rights and that includes black people, then she had every right to be in her apartment living and breathing and not be shot and killed by the police just because they executed an illegal, unconstitutional no-knock warrant based on a lie because we can't forget that daniel cameron never presented the context of why the police were at her apartment in the first place. it was based on a lie. >> one officer was charged, but not for endangering breonna, but for endangering her neighbors. so does that surprise you? >> it underscores what i believe, michael, and what i continue to argue whether it's jacob blake, george floyd and any of these cases, there seems to be two justice systems in

america. one for white america and one for black america, and anybody out there, not just black people, but anybody who has a daughter, anybody who has children, this grand jury proceeding is a grave injustice. >> the fbi is getting involved now. it is possible they could still be charged, right? >> it is very possible they still could be charged. the fbi is investigating. also, we're encouraging that wanton endangerment charges should be levied because bullets went into breonna taylor's apartment. doesn't her life matter? we think it should be increased there, and also for the black neighbors and that's why people are marching and protesting, because they feel like daniel cameron did not represent breonna taylor's life in that grand jury proceeding. he never mentioned her name in the indictment. >> and speaking of protests, protests did break out

overnight. some peaceful, some not. two officers were even shot. what is your message for those who are angry and who are out in the streets? >> even though it's righteous anger and breonna taylor's family is outraged, her mother continues to encourage peaceful protest. she said, breonna taylor would not have condoned any violence whatsoever, and so let's respect the legacy of breonna taylor. now more than ever, we all need to respect the legacy of breonna taylor because obviously it wasn't respected in that grand jury proceeding. mr. ben crump, thank you so much for joining us this morning. appreciate your time, and please send our best to breonna's family. thank you. >> thank you, brother. >> and of course, so many questions, george, how they came to this conclusion. so kentucky's governor and louisville's mayor asking for the attorney general to release the information that the grand jury had to make their decision. >> yeah. we'll see if that comes out soon.

we hope the violence -- we hope the violence stays down in the meantime. >> absolutely. we go to the white house where president trump is under fire for going where no president has gone before, refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the election. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega tracking the fallout overnight. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: never in the history of this country has there not been a peaceful transfer of power after a presidential election. but now president trump is suggesting he might not accept the election results if he is not the winner. the stunning exchange from the white house podium came with less than six weeks to go until election day, and voting already under way in some states. >> will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transferral of power after the election? >> we'll have to see what happens, you know that. >> reporter: a first, the president of the united states refusing to say outright that he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power, not once, but twice. >> do you commit to making sure there is a peaceful transfer of power?

>> get rid of the ballots and we'll have a very peaceful -- we won't have a transfer. there will be a continuation. >> reporter: president pedaling his unfounded claim that voting by mail leads to widespread fraud. there is no evidence of that. this after earlier in the day he said he wants a speedy confirmation for his supreme court pick because he expects the high court to resolve the election outcome. >> i think this will end up in the supreme court. i think it's very important to have a ninth justice. >> reporter: as he slips in the polls over his handling of the coronavirus, president trump upping his unfounded attacks on the election's integrity. >> the election is rigged. the democrats are trying to rig this election. >> reporter: overnight, joe biden stunned. >> what country are we in? look, he says the most irrational things. i -- i don't know what to say, but it does surprise me. >> reporter: and republican senator mitt romney tweeting, any suggestion that a president might not respect this constitutional guarantee is both

unthinkable and unacceptable. and just a day before the president made this comment, his own attorney general, bill barr, said what the country has going for it more than anything else is the peaceful transfer of power, and we should be doing everything to support that confidence. george, the aclu also weighing in this morning saying the president's remarks should trouble every american calling the peaceful transfer of power essential to a functioning democracy. >> the core message of the president's campaign right now is that mail-in voting is illegitimate, but all the evidence suggests over years and years that it's not susceptible to widespread fraud. >> reporter: exactly. there are five states where this universal mail-in voting that the president is opposed to has already been in place. four states working on adding it for this election all because of the pandemic and concerns over health, the health of people voting in person. but as you said, george, no evidence of widespread voter fraud related to this type of voting, but that is not stopping the president ramping up these attacks as we get closer and closer to election day.

>> cecilia vega, thanks very much. robin? and george, now we're going to celebrate the life of chicago bears hall of fame running back gayle sayers. nfl commissioner roger goodell spoke highly of sayers saying he was an electrifying and elusive runner who thrilled fans every time he touched the ball. the unlikely friendship between sayers and teammate brian pick aloe was depicted in the beloved movie "brian's song." williams who portrayed gayle in the movie paying tribute to the legend writing, the role was, quote, a true honor and gayle was an extraordinary human being with the kindest heart. gayle sayers passed away at the age of 77, george and michael. >> what an inspiring story he was. >> absolutely. lost a good one. >> yeah, we did. we are following a lot of other headlines this morning including some top experts warning the fight against the virus is far from over. tense hearing on capitol hill yesterday as president trump challenged the fda on the expected new rules for vaccine makers. and the exclusive look this morning.

ruth bader ginsburg this morning as the president closes in on his pick to fill her seat. and the iconic new year's eve ball drop in times square going virtual this year because of the coronavirus. the ball will still drop, but the millions packing the streets will not be there. instead, digital offerings will compliment the entertainment and fanfa fanfare. a sign of the times, robin. >> a sign of the times indeed, george. thank you. we continue with the latest on the coronavirus emergency as the top experts with an urgent warning in that intense hearing on the hill. the president threatening to overrule the scientists at the fda on those expected new guidelines for vaccine makers. mary bruce joins us now from washington with more on that. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. well, six months into this pandemic, 200,000 americans dead, and this morning, president trump and his administration are once again injecting politics into this pandemic undermining the nation's top scientists and even questioning their motives. at the white house, president trump undercutting his own

health officials yet again saying, if the fda adopts stricter standards that slow down the release of a coronavirus vaccine, he might reject them. >> are you okay with that? >> well, i tell you what, we're looking at that, and that has to be approved by the white house. we may or may not approve it. that sounds like a political move. >> reporter: those new rules would reportedly require monitoring trial volunteers longer, possibly delaying authorization of a vaccine until after the election, a target date trump has been touting. >> we think we can start sometime in october. >> reporter: the fda declined to comment on the president's latest statement, but just hours earlier, testifying on capitol hill the fda commissioner was adamant. they are being guided by science, not politics. >> our thorough review processes and science will guide our decisions. fda will not permit any pressure from anyone to change that. i will fight for science. >> reporter: 40 days until the election, the white house has been eager to paint a rosy picture of their handling of the

pandemic, but on the hill wednesday, the head of the cdc, dr. robert redfield, with a blunt reality check. >> a majority of our nation, more than 90% of the population remains susceptible. >> reporter: shortly after white house adviser scott atlas who has no background in infectious diseases argued that's not true. >> i think dr. redfield misstated something there. >> reporter: he said the data redfield was referring to is old and incomplete and that he got it wrong, but the nation's top top scientists are clearly fed up with being in this targeted political battle. in a tense exchange republican senator rand paul questioning if safety guidelines in new york have helped beat back the virus, instead writing it off as, quote, herd immunity. >> they're no longer having the pandemic because they have enough immunity in new york city to help beat back the pandemic. >> i challenge that, senator. >> i'm afraid -- >> please, sir. i would like to be able to do this because this happens with senator rand all the time. you are not listening to what

the director of the cdc said that in new york it's about 22%. if you believe 22% is herd immunity, i believe you're alone in that. >> reporter: now, the experts say a vaccine could be authorized soon, but say it will likely take several more months to be widely available and distributed. they say that's not likely to happen until sometime next spring, and even then dr. fauci cautions that a vaccine is not going to completely eradicate coronavirus. still is a long road ahead here, george. >> sure is. okay, mary, thanks very much. we'll get the latest now on the celebration of the life of justice ruth bader ginsburg and the battle under way to fill her seat. that's a live look at the supreme court where mourners have gathered for days to honor the judge who was a champion of equality and women's rights. as the president closes in on his pick to replace her, the announcement comes saturday. tom llamas is at trump you tower in manhattan with a look with the leading contender. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. whether he wins or loses, his

decision on saturday could impact generations of americans. with a senate confirmation, the scales of the supreme court will tip 6 to 3 in the conservatives' favor, and the white house is signaling right now as far as the nominees are concerned, the more conservative the better. this morning, as president trump gets closer to selecting his supreme court nominee -- >> the person i'll be putting up is highly qualified, totally brilliant, top of the line academic student, the highest credentials. >> reporter: the two top contenders now in the spotlight. sources say it's down to federal judges amy coney barrett and barbara lagoa, and that barrett is the apparent front-runner. a devout catholic who clerked for the conservative justice antonin scalia.

barrett is supported by religious conservatives and anti-abortion activists. her faith and how it could affect her interpretation of the law among the issues raised during her 2017 senate confirmation hearing for the 7th circuit court of appeals. >> the dogma lives loudly within you, and that's of concern. >> it's never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge's personal convictions whether they derive from faith or anywhere else on the law. >> reporter: the 48-year-old new orleans native who's a law professor at notre dame and mother of seven explaining her stance in a speech to hillsdale college last year. >> but that's not a challenge just for religious people. that's a challenge for everyone, and so i think it's a dangerous road to go down to say that only religious people would not be able to separate out moral convictions from their duty. >> reporter: pro-choice groups have raised concerns over how barrett would vote on abortion issues. planned parenthood condemned the judge's nomination to the federal bench. since she was appointed, she hasn't issued a ruling on abortion and hasn't questioned roe v. wade's overall precedent,

but critics say she's sided against rulings that strike down restrictions on abortions. also under the microscope, barrett's link to a small charismatic christian community called people of praise. the group telling abc news it will neither confirm nor deny if barrett is a current member, but she was listed as a former board of trustees member at the organization's trinity school from 2015 to 2017 and has been named and photographed in since-deleted online versions of the organization's magazine. according to its website, many of its members choose to make a lifetime commitment to the community, a covenant. members are assigned a personal adviser. men were called heads and women were called handmaids, but those titles since changed to leaders amid speculation that the group may have inspired the novel and emmy-award winning drama "the

handmaid's tale." >> is this what freedom looks like? >> reporter: but margaret atwood saying that's not accurate saying there were several inspirations. because her notes are locked in a closed library due to covid, quote, i hesitate to say anything specific for the major influences on the book, i certainly did not confine myself to one sect or group so i don't think this can be legitimately used in that way. people of praise insisting they did not inspire atwood's story, and the organization does not take positions on political matters, legislation or constitutional interpretation. now as for federal judge barbara lagoa who we mentioned at the top of the story, she's a cuban-american from south florida, but in a sign that things may not break her way, the president did say she's on the list, but he has no plans to meet with her. george, as you mentioned, the president said he has five women on his list and they are, quote, outstanding. >> tom, thanks very much. coming up later, with millions of americans out of work this morning, many

latest on our top story this is morning. >> we certainly do, michael, because americans all across the country are reacting to that grand jury ruling declining to charge those three officers in the fatal shooting of 26-year-old breonna taylor in her own home. protests coast to coast, mostly peaceful, but in breonna's hometown, some pockets of violence erupting in louisville. let's go back to alex perez who is there for us where two police officers were shot last night. good morning again, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. authorities saying those two police officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries. much of the downtown here remains blocked by police. reaction began almost immediately after that grand jury decision. overnight, demonstrators taking to the streets in louisville clashing with police, setting multiple small fires and smashing a bus stop in the downtown area. officers arresting almost 100 people. the protests coming after a grand jury declined to charge

three police officers for killing breonna taylor during a botched raid at her home in march. >> according to kentucky law, the use of force by mattingly and cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. >> reporter: former officer brett hankison was charged with three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, not for firing the shots that killed breonna, but instead for recklessly shooting into a neighboring apartment. hankison booked and released on $15,000 bail. this morning michael spoke with benjamin crump, the attorney for breonna taylor's family. >> one officer was charged, but not for endangering breonna, for endangering her neighbors. so does that surprise you? >> it underscores what i believe, michael, and there seems to be two justice systems in america, one for white america and one for black america, and anybody out there not just black people, but anybody who has a daughter, anybody who has children, this

grand jury proceeding is a grave injustice. >> reporter: and a suspect was arrested here overnight in the shooting of those two officers. reminder, there is an ongoing federal investigation into breonna's case. george? >> alex perez, thanks very much. we turn to the white house where president trump is under fire for going where no president has gone before refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the election. we want to go back to our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning again. president trump has been ramping up the attacks on the integrity of the election, but now he's going so far as to suggest he might not accept the election results if he is not the winner. the stunning exchange from the white house podium came with less than six weeks to go until election day, and voting already under way in some states. >> will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transferral of power after the election? >> we have to see what happens. you know that. >> reporter: a first, the

president of the united states refusing to say outright he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power, not once, but twice. >> do you commit to making sure there is a peaceful transfer of power? >> we'll get rid of the ballots and we'll have a very peaceful -- there won't have a transfer. it will be a continuation. >> reporter: the president pedaling his unfounded claim that voting by mail leads to widespread fraud. there is no evidence of that. overnight joe biden stunned. >> what country are we in? look. he says the most irrational things. i -- i don't know what to say about it, but it doesn't surprise me. >> reporter: it's not just democrats. republican senator mitt romney is tweeting any president that does not respect this constitutional guarantee is unthinkable and unacceptable. marco rubio says, as we have done for over two centuries, we will have a legitimate and fair election.

♪ good morning, good morning good morning, everybody. welcome back to "gma," and right now it is time for "pop news" with lara. hey, lara. >> hi, you guys. good morning to you.

lots to share. we're going to begin with great news for gigi hadid and zayn malik. the model and former one direction singer have announced they are the proud parents of a baby girl. zayn taking to twitter to share the happy news, posting this picture holding his little girl's handwriting, our baby girl is here, healthy and beautiful. to try to put into words how i'm feeling right now would be impossible. the love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding. grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, and thankful for the life we will have together. gigi also sharing a photo writing, our girl joined us earth side this weekend and she's already changed our world. so in love. no word yet on a name for this little bundle of joy, but congratulations, guys. also in the news this morning, we have been talking about him for months. sir tom moore, the world war ii vet who raised almost $50 million for covid relief efforts is now getting his own movie, you guys. the 100-year-old recognized by

the queen. she made him a knight, and now his story is headed to the big screen in a film about his life as a british army captain and world war ii hero. they will go into production in the new year, and sir moore has some ideas by the way on who he would like to play him in the movie. i was thinking leo dicaprio. he said, i don't know of any 100-year-old actors, but i'm sure michael caine or anthony hopkins could do a wonderful job if they're prepared to age up. come on, sir tom. you're amazing. and finally, speaking of amazing, matthew mcconaughey is promoting his new book "green lights," and he's sharing his very first audition tape for "dazed and confused." that was his breakout role from 1993. mcconaughey posting this video to twitter where he revealed that he was 23 years old. he signed up for the audition thinking it might be a fun way to make a little money. here is the screen test, and matt's take on it today.

take a look. >> i keep getting older. they stay the same age. >> nice. look at that. you thought you might just have a little three-day job for a summer hobby, and 28 years later i still got a little summer job that turned into a career. >> it sure did. matthew shares more about his life and the lessons that he's learned along in way in his book "green lights." that book is out october 20th. that is all for "pop news," robin. i'm going to send it right over to you. >> okay, and take it easy. like it says right behind you. take it easy. all right, lara. thanks so much. we're going to move on to our "gma" cover story now. reality star kristin cavallari

talking for the first time about her split with jay cutler. kaylee hartung has more on that. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning to you. these two never pretended their marriage was perfect on their reality show, but this divorce came as a surprise to many fans earlier this year. now kristin is explaining why the choice to split is the hardest decision she's ever made. >> this season on "very cavallari" -- >> reporter: this morning reality tv star kristin cavallari breaking her silence from april split of former nfl quarterback jay cutler to peopletv.com. >> it was the hardest decision i've ever made. when you work at something for so many years and nothing's changing, i think you have to just make a decision, and, you know, life is short. i want to be happy. >> relax. >> reporter: their nearly seven-year marriage profiled across three seasons of the

e! show "very cavallari." talking about it for the first time, the couple who shares three young kids had been struggling for years. saying, quote, i always thought it was interesting when people would refer to us as couple goals. i was, like, if you guys only knew. >> we might want to work on that pre-nup. >> reporter: cracks in their marriage apparently evidence in the last season of filming. >> we kept stuff private, and they didn't put it in the show. which was good. >> people were speculating. was it cheating or did something happen? she said, none of that's true. honestly it's just that aren't a good fit anymore. >> reporter: she became a household name after starring on the hit mtv series "laguna beach." the girl who got the guy. >> i wonder what happened in your world. >> every time we come back, we would still be together. >> reporter: with her divorce on the horizon, she's settling into a co-parenting routine. cavallari saying, quote, i still care so much about. i talk to him almost every day.

we have three kids together. he's going to be in my life forever. >> she really wants to feel her age. she's so young. she's jaking this time now to figure out what she wants out of life. >> reporter: and what she wants is to take a breath. cavallari says she's proud of herself for making this decision, and now it's time for a fresh start, one that she's really excited about. for more on their story, you can go to peopletv online, and the new issue will be on stands nationwide friday. george? >> thank you, kaylee. we now turn to rays of hopes for millions of people out of work. many companies are adding jobs for the holiday season. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis has the latest on how to find them. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, george. it is so needed and a lot of the hiring is happening right now. it doesn't even mean you have to leave your home. a lot of the applications can be done in a work-from-home setting. you should find out within about 48 hours of your application whether you got the job, and employers tell us numbers of these positions will become permanent work.

this morning, with more than 29 million americans currently collecting unemployment benefits, new seasonal jobs more important than ever. macy's exclusively telling "gma" they will host a national holiday hiring event on september 29th to fill 25,000 full and part-time roles at their fulfillment centers across the country for the holiday season. walmart announcing plans to hire 20,000 employees at fulfillment centers as they prep for an increase in online shopping this holiday. the retail giant hiring for a range of roles with hourly wages of up to $23.75. fedex says it plans to add more than 70,000 workers and ups who has offered jobs to seasonal employees, is looking to add 100,000 this holiday. much of the hiring happening now for roles that last three to four months. so how do you find a seasonal gig? job seekers can apply directly on employer websites or use a

free job search engine like indeed, glassdoor or linkedin. and making that temporary position permanent means talking upfront to your hiring manager. let them know your intentions, that you would like to stick around long-term. ask if there are any specific criteria that temporary workers need to live up to in order to become permanent, george, and make sure you do that conversation early on in the process because a number of these employers are making decisions early about who's going to stick around for the long-term, george. >> so the hiring process is starting right now. are any of these seasonal jobs remote? >> reporter: well, this is the great news. a lot of them actually are this year. this is going to be a very different year for seasonal jobs. it used to be that retailers in particular would staff up for black friday. well, this year black friday will look a lot different. much more remote and much more online. i found a number of these positions are remote and they are for customer service managers so you can do

everything from home. the other big difference this year will be the hours, george. people will be working different hours because of social distancing. if you are going into a location, and you're willing to work, for example, an overnight shift, that might allow you to get a job faster than someone who's more specific on which hours they need. >> what else can people do to find out more about these jobs online? >> reporter: the trick is to search for the word seasonal. seasonal work. always keep that in your search. seasonal work, seasonal retail, seasonal customer service. as long as you keep that specific word when you are either on the website of your favorite retailer who is very likely hiring right now or one of these websites like linkedin or indeed.com, you should be able to find these jobs, george. >> important information for a lot of people. rebecca, thanks very much. let's go to ginger. >> george, we have been so busy with wildfires and hurricanes and the news cycle, we haven't been able to do a "gma" moment,

looking, but we want to start by asking you about breonna taylor, and the grand jury's decision because you have -- you have two daughters. >> me? >> what was your reaction? yes. yes, chris. >> first, i want to say it's great to hear your voices because i can't really see you right now. >> i know. >> let's -- let's -- before we say anything, let's acknowledge how much it sucks that we can't be in the same room. let's just go there because normally we have a great time together. come on. >> yeah. >> robin, michael, george. we have had some good times, and this sucks. >> yeah. >> we'll make the most of it. let's acknowledge -- let's not act like oh, it's back to normal. hey, robin. hey, george. no. this sucks. i miss you guys. i miss that studio. i miss times square. i miss it, miss it, miss it.

>> we can give you a test and have you come join us. >> yes. something. let's just put plastic bags over ourselves and i don't know. i'm of course i'm upset about the breonna taylor verdict. it seems that not only should the cops have been charged, but it seems like the whole chain of command should have, you know, been reprimanded for such a heinous act, you know, a woman's life was lost for absolutely nothing, and yeah. it's, you know, yes, i have two daughters, but it wouldn't matter if i had two sons or, you know, whatever. it's just -- it's just insane that this is something that we're all used to. so that's my sense on this.

>> no. that's very well said, and certainly we're all getting used to a lot of things as you just pointed out, that are not comfortable, and i know you have been at home like the rest of us during this quarantine, but you've managed from what i gather, to make some good out of all of that staying at home because we have a photo of you.

vest, chris. make sure you have the life vest on at all times. >> yeah. i mean, i'm good in a pool now. i wouldn't -- i'm not ready to jump off of a yacht quite yet, but i'm good in anybody's pool. i can throw down. i'm -- yeah. i'm aquaman. i'm blaquaman. >> you talk about different roles like that, and it's a throwback thursday, so we're going to throw it back a little bit because jason alexander, he was on "howard stern," and he said you were offered the original role of george costanza. is that true? >> i'm not sure. i'll say this. warren littlefield who has been running -- who used to run nbc was definitely a fan of mine, and he actually put me on "fargo," and i don't remember the "seinfeld" offer.

i remember getting an offer to be on "cheers" back then. >> cool. >> i do remember a "cheers" offer, and i was, like, ah, come on. it's too late. those guys don't have any black friends. come on. they're not racist, but, you know, rachel's not dating a black guy. a young blair underwood, but she's not going out with me. so -- >> it has been such a crazy, chaotic year. so you learned to swim this year, but i would love to see a chris rock show in 2020. how are you making sense of it all? >> i mean, george, by the way, i miss you too, george. >> i miss you. >> what -- i don't -- i really miss you, man, and me and

george, our daughters go to the same school, but that's a whole other side bar. that's how good i'm doing, guys. my kids go to the same school as george stephanopoulos. that's how good my life is. i see george stephanopoulos on car line, okay? >> you mentioned "fargo," chris. you were starring in the new season. you play a 1950s crime lord, and you say this is the best part you've ever had. why? >> i mean, it's a full -- i mean, first of all, if anybody's ever watched "fargo," "fargo" -- i would say the best shows on television are -- well, "game of thrones," "atlanta," and "fargo," okay? everything else falls under that, and so, you know, this

guy, noah holly writes the best parts in the world, and my character is from the 1950s. he's a crime lord in kansas city, and it's just a fully formed character. he's a black man in the '50s who is trying to be a legal businessman, and at the same time running a crime empire. he's a father. he's a husband, and, you know, he's a complicated man in a world that is totally set up against him, and he is determined to come out on top. >> we cannot wait to see it. let's give everybody a sneak peek. >> you're acting like i work for you. >> we got an alliance, and i know you think part of being an american is standing on my neck, but i see the window signs. no coloreds, no italians, so
