those guys will be as excited as if fans were there and at some future date they will celebrate together. congratulations to the tampa bay lightning. well done. >> big night for them and big night in politics. 35 days before the final 2020 votes. donald trump, joe biden face-to-face in primetime. that's the debate stage in cleveland. it will be a socially distanced showdown with a small crowd on hand. one topic certain to come up that blockbuster report in "the new york times" on the president's taxes. there is a new installment today. >> they are reporting that "the apprentice" provided him with a financial lifeline at a difficult time for his businesses and helped propel him to the white house. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega is there with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. one of the things that helped donald trump win the white house was voters trusting in his skills as a businessman but now "the times" are using these documents about his taxes that the president has so far refused to release to raise serious questions about how skilled he was and whether many of his

deals were actually aboveboard. >> i'm donald trump. >> reporter: it was his image as a successful reality tv show business mogul that helped him win the white house. >> you're fired. >> reporter: this morning "the new york times" is reporting that image was far from complete. and tax records the president has refused to release show when "the apprentice" debuted in 2004 president trump clocked in almost $90 million in losses from his core businesses but the paper says he still went on to earn $197 million from the hit show. >> i'm looking for "the apprentice." >> reporter: that led to hundreds of millions more in lucrative endorsement and licensing deals, everything from domino's pizza and oreos to laundry detergent and serta m mattress mattresses. abc has not reviewed the documents but according to the "times," they show that the president entered into several questionable deals that left consumers on the hook. "the times" writing mr. trump had always skated close to the edge of fraud.

soon he would be accused of crossing the line completely and the paper says the president earned nearly $9 million partnering with the marketing company accused of suckering people into spending more money than they earned selling the product. the paper says the president also earned $2.6 million encouraging people to spend $500 on a kit to sell vitamins to friends and family, and according to "the times" he raked in $300,000 for speeches where attendees paid thousands to hear the secrets of wealth. but "the times" reports that even with the additional income the president seriously struggled to stay out of the red and used his losses and questionable deductions to drive down his tax bill, paying zero federal income taxes in 11 out of 18 years they examined and just $750 in the year he won the white house and in 2017. >> totally fake news. made up, fake. >> reporter: the president's defense, he now says he paid many millions of dollars in taxes but was entitled, like everyone else, to depreciation

and tax credits. but with the election just weeks away democrats are not letting up. >> we've already known that he puts his political priorities in front of the american people. but we are now seeing in a way that is evident, clearly evident, that he also is prepared to put his personal interests ahead of the american people. >> reporter: "the times" also found that the president will soon owe $421 million in debt. that's money that could come due while he is in office if elected to a second term. house speaker nancy pelosi is calling this a national security threat saying that americans have a right to know whom their president owes. and also not just democrats, national security experts we are speaking to say the president owing money like this could potentially subject him to being compromised by foreign interests. >> many are wondering about that. cecilia, thank you. as we said, we are counting down to that big showdown in clooefl tonight. president trump and joe biden preparing for the first 2020 presidential debate. mary bruce is there in cleveland with much more on what we can expect. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning,

robin. we have never seen a debate like this before. there will be no handshakes, no opening statements, and just a limited socially distant audience. just over a month to go and we could see the sharpest contrast yet. this morning, the candidates just hours away from coming face-to-face for the first time in this race and already the gloves are off. >> always known as a dumb guy. >> look, the people know the president's a liar. i mean, they know that. it's not like it's -- it's going to come as a surprise to them. >> reporter: hanging over the debate the questions about the president's taxes. after that stunning report from "the new york times" alleging trump paid just $750 in federal income tax in 2016, the year he won the white house. that same year in a debate with hillary clinton, trump took credit for avoiding taxes. >> the only years that anybody has ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino

license and they showed he didn't pay any federal income tax, so -- >> that makes me smart. >> if he paid zero, that means zero for troops. >> reporter: trump's taxes and business records are sure to be in biden's crosshairs tonight, but the former vice president is bracing for trump to go personal. >> he's going to want to make it personal and get in the mosh pit. i'll talk about why i want to be president of the united states. >> reporter: the official topics for tonight's debate include biden and trump's records, the economy, the supreme court, race and unrest and the pandemic. biden has been off the trail preparing, but trump, he's been campaigning full steam keeping up a packed schedule with nine events in just the last week. he says his job is prep enough. >> how many hours would you say you spent? >> a little time. not a lot. >> more or less than 16? >> i'm running a country. i don't have the luxury. >> reporter: he is still trying to downplay expectations. >> he's been doing it for 47 years and i just started doing this stuff. >> reporter: biden heads into tonight's debate with a ten-point lead in national

polls. he's also up in several key battleground states like pennsylvania where our latest abc news "washington post" poll out this morning shows biden up by nine points. biden is familiar with the setting. he has 26 presidential and vice presidential debates but, george, he has never faced an opponent like donald trump. >> okay, mary, thanks very much. let's bring in chris christie and rahm emanuel from our political team. and chris, let me begin with you. you wrote that the president's debate prep which you were a part of in 2016 was a disaster. you've been part of it this time around. how has it gone? what does the president need to do? >> well, what the president needs to do tonight is essentially two things. the first is to lay out his vision for the next four years and what he wants to do for the american people if he's given a second term. and, secondly, he has to differentiate what his vision is from joe biden's vision based upon their campaign and based upon joe biden's record. and i think you'll see both of

those things happen tonight. the president hasn't debated in four years, but i don't think he'll have any problem when he gets on the stage. >> rahm, you worked closely with joe biden when he was the chief of staff and you were in the white house. what's the biggest trap he faces? >> joe biden has to reassure the american people. that's a different mission than donald trump which has to change people's impression of both him and his presidency after 3 1/2 years and chris has always noted that the president has to lay out his agenda. we're 37 days away from the election and he still hasn't done that so i don't hold out much hope for that. one of the things as joe biden goes into this, he has a little tailwind where the president has a headwind. all polls are showing him up eight, nine, ten points nationally, but your recent poll here in pennsylvania, also the other day "the new york times" had another poll, same number showing a state moving away and all are starting to see a tick up since the supreme court and i think that's noted because i think a lot of biden republicans

are not happy with this kind of power grab. i do think when the attack comes, and it will become personal, joe biden needs to deflect it with, look, i can say a lot about your family. you can say what you want about my family but that has nothing to do with the american family and we're here to talk about that. >> chris christie, "the new york times" tax story, a big wild card coming into the debate. likely to be the first question or one of the first and the president's had a couple of different answers. how does he handle tonight? >> well, i think, you know, from reading the story that came out this morning, george, i think it's a lot of old news and i think that's the way the president will deal with it. the president said two things four years ago about his taxes -- one, that he would release his taxes after his audit was done. there had always been skepticism among the media and others but the times reporting confirms he is still ongoing for a decade without resolution by the irs. and secondly, the president has

said that he worked hard when he was in the private sector to pay as little in taxes as he could and followed the law. and there's no allegations in that "the new york times" story that he did anything to break the law. joe biden was part of making those tax laws over all the years he was in the congress and so, you know, i think the president should answer it that way and then move on to the other issues that i suspect will be much more of a concern to the people who will be sitting on their couches in their living rooms and listening tonight. they want to know about their future and what taxes they'll be paying whether what taxes the president may have paid over the last 20. >> we will see it all tonight. you'll both be part of our debate coverage tonight. our coverage starting at 8:00 with analysis and the debate at 9:00 with post debate analysis at 10:30. michael? >> looking forward to that, george. now the latest on the coronavirus emergency. the death toll from the pandemic now topping 1 million worldwide. cases are increasing in 32 states plus puerto rico and here

at home, nine states are recording daily increases in deaths. this as a new study raises concern about the spread of the virus among children. eva pilgrim has the latest. >> reporter: overnight, another grim milestone in the global battle against covid-19. 1 million lives now lost to the virus worldwide. this as a new study is breaking this morning on kids and covid. the american academy of pediatrics and children's hospital association looking at a five-month period from april to september finding a dramatic increase in diagnosed cases among children and showing pediatric cases rose from 2.2% of all cases reported nationwide in april to 10% in september. 12-year-old elizabeth mcnew from atlantic beach, florida, believed to be one of those. her family says she passed friday after a ten-day battle with the virus. >> i never got to hear her voice again.

>> reporter: in the u.s. where we've surpassed 205,000 fatalities, cases increasing in 32 states and puerto rico, more than half the country. monday afternoon president trump formally announced plans to distribute 150 million rapid tests across the country in the coming weeks. by the president's side at the announcement, recent task force addition, dr. scott atlas, neuroradiologist with no background in treating infectious diseases. noticeably absent, dr. fauci, dr. birx and cdc director, dr. redfield. after reports that dr. redfield was heard saying dr. atlas is wrong on most issues, the cdc releasing a statement saying while the two agree on many issues they disagree on the risk to kids, the importance of masks and where the country is with herd immunity. overnight dr. fauci was asked if he was worried about false information getting to president trump.

>> i'm concerned that sometimes things are said that are really taken either out of context or actually incorrect. >> reporter: abc news reached out to dr. atlas. he is not commenting. the white house telling us in part the president consults many experts, both inside and outside of the federal government, who sometimes disagree with one another. robin? >> all right, eva, thank you. we're moving on now to those deadly wildfires out west. in california nearly 4 million acres have burned so far this year. the governor declaring a state of emergency for the northern part of the state where tens of thousands have been forced to flee their homes. kayna whitworth has the latest. >> reporter: overnight homes and structures incinerated. nearly 80,000 people told to evacuate. out of control wildfires raging throughout northern california. the air resembling an erupting volcano. the zogg fire turning deadly.

>> it's with a sad heart that i come before you to say we've had three deaths. >> reporter: in sonoma and napa county over 36,000 acres burned so far. with drought conditions, home after home left for kindling. >> it is so thick as you watch this, it sort of disappears as it goes around the corner. >> reporter: this hospital forced to evacuate all patients for the second time in a month. >> hardest part is, number one, trying to keep them from being too fearful. >> reporter: jan rescued from a burning car blocked her estate route. >> we left with nothing. literally with nothing. we're so lucky to be alive. >> reporter: with parts of california a tinder box, images of destruction showing how miraculous these survival stories are. you can see this hill i'm climbing up here. this is the kind of terrain these firefighters are dealing with. they're right behind me. they're working to what they call blacken the line.

as this fire is creeping towards homes 25 yards that way, when this thing was really moving it was scorching 640 acres an hour but the wind is starting to die down to firefighters are hoping that now is their chance to really get the upper hand. >> you see those scenes like that. >> terrifying. we go back and talk about the unforgettable nhl season played in two different bubbles. overnight the tampa bay lightning hoisting up the trophy after defeating the dallas stars in game six. as you can see, the 2020 champions celebrating their shutout victory in an empty stadium. >> they're still happy. >> i'm sure the players and fans are full of happiness. >> oh, sorry, i didn't mean to step on your line. >> no, no, no. i still got it in there. >> you stay ready. you don't get ready. you stay ready. i know all your lines by now. we're following a lot of other headlines this morning including big developments in

definitely in a crazy phase but i feel lucky we're in nashville to be honest. i'm out in the country so life feels semi normal. my kids have been in school since early august and i've been at the office. so it's been nice and i feel like we were lucky because i could tell my kids to go outside and ride a bike. i think about everyone in new york and i don't know how parents did it in new york so i feel like i've been very, very lucky. >> yeah, definitely been tough in new york. you recently opened up about a new role in your life as a co-parent with your ex, jay cutler. how has that been? >> yeah, you know, taking it day by day, learning as i go. obviously my first time doing it. so we're navigating it the best we know how but we're an eight-minute drive from each other and we are on good terms so i saw them last night and, you know, we're making the most of it, i would say. >> i love that. that's what you got to do.

showing us how to do it. let's talk about your new cookbook called "true comfort" and it's filmed with comfort classics with a healthy twist. right here we've got this french toast casserole that you're going to make for us. tell us how it's comforting and nutritious. >> well, of course, it's comforting because it's french toast and who doesn't love french toast but it's healthy because it's dairy-free and so i use full fat canned coconut milk. that is my secret and my entire cookbook is gluten free except for this one recipe. this was the recipe i had the hardest time with. i tried every gluten-free bread imaginable and they were either too dense or too soggy. this is ezekiel sprouted bread. better for you. it's definitely better for you than your average white bread. so you can absolutely use whatever bread you want. it doesn't have to be

gluten free or ezekiel sprouted bread. oh! getting wild over here. >> everybody, it's live. >> where is my dog? we're just really doing it this morning. and i also -- >> i'm sorry. when you add the bread and everything, what is it you add for that sweetness on top? >> yep, so i am a big fan of sweeteners in general but use all natural ones. so i love maple syrup and coconut sugar and honey, they all have nutritious benefits to them. maple syrup has a ton of vitamins and minerals in it. i like to use all of those. then i have cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla and pour that on my bread. boop. oh, and four eggs. don't forget the eggs. >> it is. >> don't forget the eggs. definitely got to have eggs.

>> don't forget the eggs but it is -- everything in the cookbook is simple. i'm not a chef by any mean, just a mom who loves to cook. truly if i can make these, anybody can. also if you're wondering why my eggs are a greenish tint. i have a chicken coop and have six chickens wandering around my house right now. so that's why they are all different colors. >> like you said, you're in nashville. >> sure. >> we definitely don't have that in new york city. >> we do not. >> if you do, there's probably a problem. but once you put all of that together, once you whisk all that together you pour it on the bread and then once your casserole is done, i know you have a secret ingredient to top it off. so what is the secret ingredient to top it off? >> my secret ingredient is what i like to do and normally this would be mixed up better. i have this coconut sugar and cinnamon blend.

i love coconut sugar because it's still sugar, but better for you than white sugar. anything white has been stripped of nutrients. i sprinkle it over the top and gives it something extra and makes it yummy and comforting and i wouldn't consider this to be like a cheat meal because it's all good ingredients. so you'll want to take this, put it in the oven. now you can get a nice shot of my slippers. and then the magic of tv, i'm going to take out this one that is already cooked. badabing, badaboom. voila. you can add a little cashew crema on top in place of whipped cream. >> all right. >> and that's it. there you have it. >> simple. >> true comfort indeed. kristin, thank you so much. we appreciate you cooking for us this morning. >> it looks awful. >> no, it does not. we'll try it as well. kristin's cookbook, "true comfort: more than 100 cozy recipes free of gluten and refined sugar" is available today.

thank you so much and continued success to you. >> thanks, guys. love you. >> see you later. >> you can get her french toast casserole recipe online as well. coming up, we're revealing our october book club pick. nicholas sparks will join us to talk about his book. our house was built in 1926. we saw the earthquake grace in bold was offering a grant program. i signed up and i was actually selected it leaves the house in tack. you now know that in the next earthquake your house will be standing and we also got a discount on our earthquake insurance. if there is an earthquake. our house has a better chance of surviving in.

♪ welcome back. time to reveal our "gma" october book pick. >> all: three, two, one -- >> whoo, it's "the midnight library" by matt haig. a time traveling adventure a celebration of life's possibilities and here is best-selling author himself, matt haig. >> good morning, america. i'm matt haig. i'm thrilled "the midnight library" has been chosen as october's "gma" book club pick. "the midnight library" is a book between life and death where a woman gets a chance to live all the lives she could have ever lived. >> we cannot wait to have him on later this month. "the midnight library" is available everywhere today. today is the one-year anniversary of the "gma" book club and we're just getting

started. if you missed any along the way, read an excerpt of all of these "gma" book club selections on goodmorningamerica.com and keep reading along with us at "gma"bookclub on instagram. >> show them what they can get. >> right hero. i'll be your vanna. >> yes. now, you guys, we go to the mlb postseason. it is beginning today and will soon be in a bubble of its own. chicago cubs all-star first baseman anthony rizzo joins us from his hotel room in quarantine in chicago. anthony, good morning to you, my friend. good to see you again. >> good morning, michael. yeah, we're in the bubble here. it's not as bad as advertised. the mlb and cubs have done a good job for us. >> that's a good looking bubble from the background you got right there. congratulations are in order for making the post-season. this has been unforgettable for everybody. you are a huge fan favorite in chicago. what is it like for you playing without fans in the stands? >> thank you. it's been definitely different

especially at wrigley field where we're used to the energy and fans being here every day. it's something that you weren't sure how it was going to be. it's been very strange and we miss them and look forward to having them back. nice to see some other sports allowing some fans in and hopefully here in the postseason to let some in and continue to open up. >> i'm sure they're just happy you're in the playoffs even if they have to watch from home. you're in quarantine like you said before and hopefully you'll head to the baseball bubble. but that starts off the first round of the playoff. how do you feel about going in the bubble with all the other players and their families? >> i think it'll be very safe for us. i think -- every day we've been getting tested here and guys around the league, a lot of credit to everyone around the league for the most part staying safe and not really having any viruses -- or cases pop up here in the last few weeks. so i think when we get into the bubble with other teams it will

be just like it is now and everyone respecting the protocols and doing what we need to do to play baseball, because that's most important right now. >> your cubs won it all in 2016 and the city of chicago went crazy. the team went crazy as well, with a short season, 60 games, do you believe this title will be just as significant if you win it as it was in 2016? >> i do because it's just the fact of everything that every team has had to go through this year, from starting in early february and ramping up and getting shut down and being on hold all year, it's definitely been a short season, but it's felt like very long. i think it will be very unique and the adversity every team had to go through this year individually will make this championship feel so much sweeter at the end. >> packed a lot of games into a shortened schedule. anthony, thank you so much.

please say hello to your wife for me. >> i will. thank you, michael. >> this afternoon, the astros will take on the twins at 2:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc with coverage all day on espn and our guy, anthony rizzo and the cubs also take on the marlins at 2:00 p.m. right here on abc. >> now back to ginger. >> michael, thank you. little peeks of color even in central park. we've been dry but getting some rain, 2 to 3 inches will squeeze out ah we've got ourselves a jam-packed show. here now best-selling author nicholas sparks, y'all. he has brought us classic love stories like "the notebook" and "a walk to remember" and now back with "the return." please welcome back to "gma,"

nicholas sparks. so good to see you, nicholas. we're very excited. >> good to see you. > we're excited about your new one. it's been 15 years since "the notebook." 15 years. why do you think it has become such a classic with so many people? >> well, of course, i'd love to say it has everything to do with the story, but you also have to give a lot of credit to the director, nick cassavetes and ryan and rachel and james and jenna. the performances really brought that story to life, and it came together in such a way, the way it was filmed, that it just felt -- it still feels new every time you watch it even though you've seen it so many times before. always something new to see. the scene as you saw right there, it was just incredible. >> getting chills all over again. you're right. doesn't matter. one of those movies whenever you

turn on the tv, you sit down and start watching from wherever you're seeing it. >> i do the same thing. it's crazy. >> let's talk about "the return." you're known for your love stories. this is different for you. this is more than a love story. tell people about it. >> yeah, it's a little bit different. you know, i tried to write a new novel every time and because i want the readers to experience something a bit new while having a love story and a story set in north carolina. so for this novel i decided to add a theme of mystery. i hadn't had a mystery theme since "a bend in the road" a long time ago. and then, of course, that begs the question, what kind of mystery? and so i opted for a soft mystery but one that draws the main character, trevor benson, into contact with two women who eventually change his life. >> i'm in. i'm in.

it sounds like a page turner as you always have. you know you have so many devoted fans and there's a question from one of them. k.m. asks, quote, have you ever considered writing a book of short stories to show us where each couple has ended up in the future? such a great idea. >> this is actually an unbelievable idea. you know, i haven't, but i'm really glad -- thank you for the question. you know, i do get asked what happened to noah and ally in the middle years when they were married or what -- how did teresa ever turn up after the sadness of "a message in the bottle." an interesting book of short stories if i could pull that off. >> you have to give k.m. credit

if you do that just saying -- >> she'll end up in the acknowledgements. >> what's the key to writing a great love story? >> the conflict. you know, and certainly i'm not the first one who decided on that. if you look at "romeo and juliette," for instance, the conflict between the families. you have to have a reason that the couple can't be together and -- so if you think romeo and juliet, the families hated each other, "the notebook," since so many are familiar with it, early on she was just there for a summer and left. see, they can't be together. next time they meet, well, guess what, she's engaged. oops, they can't be together then in the end, of course, they want to be together but she can't. so you need this conflict because that's what really brings a story to life. >> all nodding our heads in the studio going that's the key. all right. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you. always good to see you. hope you and everyone you hold close to your heart are doing

well. thank you, nicholas and "the return" is available everywhere today. we'll be right back.

back now with one of back now with one of tv's top docs, author of over a dozen books and solo host of "the doctors." dr. ian smith joins us now. good morning to you, doc. we'll get right into it. before we get to your tips you're the new solo host of "the doctors." congratulations to that. what are you looking forward to this season? >> well, thanks a lot, stra. this is all about taking your power back. that's our theme. we'll help america understand what covid is. vaccine, treatments. all about nourishing people, inspiring fellow americans and giving scientifically based information missing so badly in the country.

so excited and will have musicians and a book club and we'll have comedians and expand the show, new format, new set. we're really excited. >> you're focused on the power of protein. why is that important and what are your tips for reaching our protein goals right now? >> protein is so important, by the way, it prevents muscle atrophy. we need to build muscle as we age. it also keeps your blood sugar levels nice and stable. and also takes longer to digest. that means you burn more calories. i have samples of animal-based protein but then going to plant-based because that's become the thing. so for 28 calories you could have two drumsticks or you could have a nice moroccan lentil chickpea soup with diced tomatoes. for 30 grams of protein you can have five ounces of salmon or the nonanimal source a nice bed of leafy green, artichoke hearts and put cranberries in there because i have a sweet tooth. then we have steak. i love steak. we both like to eat steak.

let's say you don't, my wife is a vegan and here's brown rice, black beans and some cheese, melted cheese and this is 35 grams. and lastly is 40 grams. you may like, for example, a good barbecue pork chop with chickpeas and beans and still have 40 grams of protein. >> if i eat all those together it's more like what i would eat for protein at one time. power protein is really important. you are so busy, congratulations on being host of the show. on top of that you've written over a dozen books. the new one is "the unspoken." >> yeah, it's called "the unspoken." it's a mystery. ash cane is a brand-new character people are going to love. he's smart, tough, handsome. takes place in the streets of chicago. it's a mystery. different from my diet books but a lot of fun and people are

loving it on amazon. so excited for the country to read "the unspoken." a lot of twists and turns. >> doc, we're excited to watch you on "the doctors." congratulations on the new gig and "the doctors" airs weekdays. check your local listings and "the unspoken" is out on thursday. we'll be right back.
