in california. our chief national correspondent matt gutman is at the hospital in orange. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. the former president's aides say he was admitted on tuesday after feeling fatigued. the doctors here are underscoring that the infection that the former president is battling is not related to covid, or his heart condition. this morning, new images of hillary clinton leaving the irvine medical center where her husband, former president bill clinton, is hospitalized being treated in the icu for a blood infection also known as sepsis. >> sepsis can be a serious matter. we are concerned about a decrease in blood pressure and we also need to monitor the heart. >> reporter: doctors at uc irvine medical center are stressing clinton's diagnosis is not related to covid and not related to his history of heart disease. according to the hospital, clinton was given an iv and is responding well to antibiotics. it's the latest health scare for the 75-year-old since leaving

office. he had quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 and a pair of stents implanted in 2010. clinton telling abc news in 2004 that his health problems stem from a bad diet, a busy work schedule and ignoring warning signs. >> maybe if i had stayed on a lower fat diet, you know, maybe if i had not eaten so many hamburgers and steaks which i love, maybe if i had, you know, had slightly less stress in my life and not worked as hard as when i left office as i did when i was there, maybe it would have been different. >> reporter: these days of course the former president talks about his near vegan diet. doctors at this hospital say they hope to get him off that iv antibiotic drip at some point today, but it is worth noting that sepsis, which is a blood infections, can be life threateni threatening, especially for

people with a heart condit mi we ho the former presena ful. thu so mucfo. we turn now to the anda advo consider johnson & johnson booster shots, a day after recommending moderna boosters for millions of americans. whit johnson joins us now and, whit, the committee also set to talk about mixing and matching vaccines. >> reporter: yes, michael, that's right. good morning to you. right now there is not a vote scheduled on mixing and matching vaccines, but today we expect plenty of debate about whether it's safe and effective. so far the early data has been promising. the fda panel will vote on a recommendation for johnson & johnson booster shots, another potential tool in fighting this pandemic. today a key fda panel is set to review johnson & johnson booster shots and discuss the effectiveness of mixing and matching vaccines. this after that same advisory panel voted thursday to recommend moderna boosters for millions of americans. >> we do have a unanimous 19 out of 19 yes votes and that concludes the voting portion. >> reporter: the group includes

anyone 65 and older, 18 and older with underlying health conditions and those at high risk of exposure to the virus at work. studies show the moderna vaccine has remained highly effective against severe illness and hospitalization, but waning slightly when it comes to protecting against those more mild breakthroughs. the company saying its booster will only require a half dose to restore protection. >> what we're trying to do is bring your immunity up to the point when you were first vaccinated and essentially these boosters will do that trick. >> reporter: the fda and cdc still need to sign off on moderna boosters, which could come by late next week. but with 66 million eligible americans still unvaccinated, battles over vaccine mandates heating up. state officials in maine warning fired health care workers who refuse to get vaccinated won't be eligible for unemployment benefits. and in chicago, the city preparing to stop pay for police officers who fail to report their vaccination status by today. now, officials are also expected

to make a decision about vaccines. the pfizer vaccine specifically for kids ages 5 to 11 by early november. but the biden administration is already telling states to preorder those vaccine doses next week to prepare. cecelia? >> telling them to get ready now. whit, thank you. we turn to that potential holiday travel nightmare. a staggering 40% of tsa employees are still unvaccinated and this morning, that clock is ticking on the deadline for them to be fully vaccinated before thanksgiving. victor oquendo is live at newark airport with the latest on this story. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. it's not just the tsa but several major airlines also have vaccine requirements with a similar deadline. just before thanksgiving, the clock is ticking and experts are concerned about what this could mean for travelers. this morning, americans bracing for a potentially turbulent holiday travel season with a november 22nd deadline looming

for tsa workers to be fully vaccinated, the agency reporting a staggering 40% haven't received a single dose. >> the fact that 40% of tsa's employees are not vaccinated even if they get half of that done by thanksgiving, that leaves 20% not available to work. something is going to have to give. i'm really worried. >> reporter: the tsa now developing contingency plans but remaining hopeful telling abc news we anticipate that the vast majority of tsa employees will get vaccinated. several major airlines fighting on the same front. american and jetblue requiring u.s.-based workers to provide proof of full vaccination the day before thanksgiving, november 24th. >> it's created a lot of uncertainty about the holiday travel period. now you have some unknown quantity of pilots that may go all the way and go through termination. >> reporter: captain tajer's union represents 14,000 american airlines pilots and says just

under 4,000 are still unvaccinated. so if you're planning on traveling during the holidays, the advice from experts, book your flights sooner than later. prices are expected to jump after halloween and just do your best to be flexible. things might take a little bit longer than expected. george? >> have to be patient. victor, thanks. we're going to get the latest now on the texas abortion law. it's one of the strictest in the country. it's another step closer to the supreme court. a federal appeals court rejected the biden administration's latest attempt to stop the law which bans most abortions. rachel scott is tracking the case. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. the texas attorney general calling this a big win for the state but this is not the news the biden administration wanted this morning. the fifth circuit, considered one of the most conservative appeals courts in the country, siding with the state of texas allowing the most restrictive abortion law in the nation to stand. this bans abortions as early as six weeks into a woman's pregnancy. that is before many women even know that they are pregnant and

the last several weeks have been whiplash in texas as this law makes its way through the courts. the next move is now on the justice department but as you said, this does lay the groundwork for this challenge to reach the supreme court and until a higher court weighs in the reality for women in texas if they want an abortion they'll likely have to travel out of state to get it. george? >> rachel scott, thank you. michael? now to america on strike. some 60,000 film and television production workers threatening to walk off the job on monday while more than 10,000 john deere workers are already walking the picket line. terry moran is live outside john deere headquarters in illinois for us this morning. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, michael. they've been here all night all through this chilly night, the men and women on this picket line in a john deere facility and across three states demanding what they say is their fair share from a hugely profitable american company. they're not alone. across the country more and more workers on the picket line. the question now is hollywood next? this morning, the more than

10,000 john deere workers on strike stand united as they demand higher wages and better benefits. the united autoworkers union members had vowed to walk out if they couldn't settle on a contract. now the pressure on john deere as the company that builds those iconic green tractors sees their first major strike in three and a half decades. sounds like it's about sticking together. >> and the people that come after us. >> reporter: workers rejected a proposal of just over $30 an hour for a top production worker rising to 31.84 after five years. bargaining for wages they say they deserve. >> they want to keep all the money in their pocket for their shareholders and the ceo continues to get massive raises and it doesn't add up when it comes to what they offered us. >> reporter: the workers' demands come as john deere expects record profits of $5.9 billion this year. >> we are seeing workers standing up and exercising their power collectively to fight back against corporations who aren't

sharing that wealth that workers have helped create. >> reporter: and unless concessions are made in hollywood there could be more economic fallout. the union representing 60,000 film and tv workers from costume designers to audio technicians warn its members are prepared to strike on monday. if that strike goes forward it would shut down film and tv production across the country. just another sign of the spirit of activism and solidarity in the american labor movement. george? >> terry, thank you. we go to washington now where top trump adviser steve bannon is facing criminal contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with the house committee investigating the january 6th insurrection. bannon has defied the subpoena at the direction of former president trump. jon karl has the latest. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. donald trump is doing everything he can do to stymie the congressional investigation into the january 6th riot, but now the committee leading that investigation is moving forward

or says it will move forward with criminal charges against trump confidant steve bannon. the house committee investigating the january 6th riot says it will move next week to hold steve bannon in criminal contempt for defying a subpoena to testify about what he knows about the events surrounding the capitol riot. it will ultimately be up to the justice department to decide whether to prosecute. if doj does and bannon is found guilty, he would face up to a year behind bars. bannon remains defiant. his lawyer informing the committee, quote, mr. bannon will not be producing documents or testifying unless the committee first works out an agreement with former president trump who directed bannon not to testify citing executive privilege. it's an odd claim. executive privilege has long been understood to apply to advice white house officials give a president but bannon stopped working at the white house more than three years before the riot. as trump attempts to stymie the

january 6th investigation, he is pushing republicans to make his false claims about 2020 election fraud their central issue declaring it, quote, the single most important thing for republicans to do and saying, republicans will not be voting in '22 or '24 if party leaders don't, quote, solve his bogus fraud claims. trump called in to an event organized by steve bannon for virginia republicans this week. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag. >> reporter: an event that started with a pledge of allegiance to a flag carried by trump supporters at the rally before the capitol riot. >> she's carrying an american flag that was carried at the peaceful rally with donald j. trump on january 6th. >> reporter: the bizarre display put the republican candidate for governor in virginia, who was not there, in an awkward position. >> i wasn't involved in that at all. the whole idea of the flag thing seems kind of weird to me and is wrong.

>> reporter: the battle over steve bannon's testimony is about more than steve bannon. it has big implications for others close to trump that the committee wants to see testify. cecelia? >> yeah. congress certainly trying to send a message there. jon, thanks. we turn to the gridlock in the supply chain that has many shelves empty right now and could make holiday shopping especially tough this year. kaylee hartung is at the port of los angeles and got an inside look at the around the clock effort to get goods into stores. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: hey, good morning, cecilia. from the port here to a warehouse and distribution center nearby we followed some of these containers full of the goods folks are waiting for, from toilet paper to toys and electronics. everyone we spoke to agreeing there is no quick fix here. this morning as toys fly off the shelves with no stock to refill and prices rising on everything from clothing to groceries,

there is an all-out push to get goods off those backlogged ships and into stores in time for the holidays. >> what we're doing is this, trying to squeeze every minute, every hour of efficiency out of this port complex that we can. >> reporter: longshoremen in the port of los angeles telling me some of these containers have been sitting here for six months. >> the problem is the entire supply chain. >> if there is a truck available to get cargo off the docks of the port, it could come to a warehouse like this. how long the goods wait for the next truck is another potential delay. >> i think domestically because the truck driving shortage is such an issue we will see issues all the way through 2022. >> what's in these containers? >> could be anything from toys to clothes to beauty products to auto parts to everything. >> do you think these good also get to store shelves in time for christmas? what is that cutoff? >> it was probably realistically about a month ago. >> reporter: despite the stress, this alabama toy store reassuring customers. >> shop early, try to get the toys that you know your kids want.

shop local if you can because that's more than likely where you're going to end up getting what you need this year. >> reporter: and the owner of that toy store telling us superhero legos and the stuffed animals known as squishmallows are the hottest selling items in her store. she ordered back in january and just received them. guys? >> all right, kaylee, thanks. >> on the list. now how did i get this story? you always do the sports. >> i know. especially because it's my hometown team. it's the only thing i know about. >> i guess i have to take it. baseball playoffs, the incredible game five between the giants and the dodgers. the teams went toe-to-toe until the top of the ninth when cody bellinger came through with a single to drive in the go-ahead run and called out maximum scherzer who came in for the bottom of the ninth looking for his first career save and that was a controversial call during

the game. the umpire ruling that that was a swing, that ended the giants, your hometown team's, magical season and sent the defending champion dodgers back to the national league championship series where they will face the atlanta braves. going to be a good one. i'm sorry. >> i have a feeling my husband has a few things to say about that this morning. a lot more coming up on "gma" including the latest twist in the alex murdaugh saga. arrested again as we learn new details about the roadside shooting incident. one of his lawyers joins us live. we switch to adele dropping that video for her first new music in six years. but first let's go to rob. hey, rob. >> good morning. what happened in san antonio, two fatalities including a 5-year-old child in this flash flood. two vehicles stranded and the severe weather will stretch across the mississippi and ohio rivers. weekend getaways now brought to you by verizon.

millions in insurance money which was meant to go to the sons of gloria satterfield, his family's longtime housekeeper who died after a purported trip and fall incident at the murdaughs' south carolina home in 2018. in a statement to abc news, an attorney for satterfield's son says, in part, the charges are a very good start to holding everyone accountable who either participated knowingly or breached their duties. the bottom line is no one is above the law. it is the latest turn in an ongoing saga. murdaugh's wife and 22-year-old son brutally murdered on the grounds of the family's home in june. their murders have not been solved. this week, one of murdaugh's attorneys saying he has been a person of interest since the killings, but insists he loved them, had no motive to kill them and was with his ailing mother when the coroner says the murders happened. no one has been charged in connection with their deaths. before thursday's charges murdaugh was already facing

other charges after allegedly hiring curtis edward smith to shoot and kill him on the side oad thntmuerhat his living son buster could collect a $10 million life insurance policy. according to "the new york times," smith told them when he met murdaugh that september afternoon, murdaugh was holding a loaded gun. he says murdaugh asked him to shoot him in the head. he says he refused but then mr. murdaugh moved as if he was going to shoot himself in the head. mr. smith grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. the gun went off. smith says he asked murdaugh if he was okay and when he indicated he was, smith drove away. >> he's like a brother to me. i would have done anything for him, almost anyway. >> reporter: murdaugh called 911 and was airlifted to a hospital. regarding thursday's arrest if found guilty murdaugh could face up to ten years behind bars, george. >> amy, thanks. let's bring in murdaugh's

attorney, mr. dick harpootlian. thanks for joining us. you recently said no question alex murdaugh has done some things he regrets. what are those things? >> well, obviously the financial transaction issue is something he regrets, and obviously getting eddie smith to kill him he regrets. i will say to you, george, that the reason i'm on this show this morning is that the thirst for knowledge about this case has driven a number of outlets to say things that are false, to run a story of eddie smith saying that he didn't shoot -- apparently told the "today" show yesterday alex wasn't hit. he wasn't bleeding. we furnished to you medical hospitals from the record which indicate he had two bullet wounds in the head, his skull was fractured, he had a brain bleed, and he was put in icu because his life was in danger

as a result of being shot in the head. >> so he does admit to asking mr. smith to kill him so he could collect on the insurance policy? >> yes. >> he admits to that? >> yes. >> but he denies the idea that mr. smith has told that he tried to stop mr. murder was trying to shoot himself? >> that's totally untrue according to alex. he met with smith, called smith -- smith was his longtime drug dealer according to alex and met with him on the side of the road, gave him the gun. he said i'm going to look like i broke down, drive by and shoot me, which is exactly what smith did. unfortunately or fortunately smith's bullet did not penetrate his skull. it did fracture his skull, left what we believe is an entrance and exit wound on the side of his head. he was medevacked to the savannah hospital where they did a c.a.t. scan, skull fracture, bullet wound, brain bleed, oxygen got into the brain, they had to put him in icu. they don't put people in intensive care units these days or any time unless they need intensive care. he suffered a bullet wound to

the head and so eddie smith's not telling the truth and obviously he's got reasons not to tell the truth. >> does he admit that he did steal this $3 million in settlement money that was supposed to go to the sons of his housekeeper. >> he'll be addressing that. i think we're going to have a bond hearing early next week on those issues and he has indicated clearly that he is going to try to right every wrong, financial wrong and others that he may have committed. look, he's reconciled to the fact he's going to prison knowing -- he understands that. he's a lawyer. was a lawyer for 25 years. he gets it. and, george, you know, i've been a lawyer for 40 years. i prosecuted and defended over 100 murder cases. i've prosecuted and defended 12 death penalty cases. these need to be litigated in the court of law, not on some blog somewhere and that's the problem here. you know, the journalistic source on one story was a

magazine whose claim to fame is once a year they name the sexiest man in the world made a claim that maggie had gone to a domestic lawyer. not true. according to unnamed sources. that's what we're dealing with here. the reason i'm here, alex wants to set the record straight. normally we would wait and do this in a court of law but we're doing it because people, just these hysterical theories out there and we want to address them. >> you talk about hysterical theories, but even the stuff you just admitted to is pretty serious. he's also a person of interest according to your fellow attorney in the unsolved murders of his wife and son. have the police told him why they're looking at him? does he deny any involvement in the murder of his wife and son? >> he denies -- i represented paul, the son, when he was accused in this boat homicide. i spent months, almost a year and a half with alex, paul and maggie. all i saw was domestic tranquility, love and affection, number one. number two, yes, he denies any

involvement, any knowledge. he found them. and the third thing, the most important thing is this, when the police show up and they find a dead wife and a dead son and the husband finds them, you know, most times it's going to turn out to be that the husband was involved and that unfortunately is the assumption that was was made that night and a number of missteps since then investigating the case because they keep trying to pound that square peg into the round hole. somebody out there is responsible for the death, horrible, almost execution style deaths of maggie and paul. it's not alex. you recently said murdaugh's e.- biggest crime was being born into a family that had money and power and has fallen from grace. what do you mean by that and do you stand by it? >> well, i mean if they were born -- i knew alex's grandfather who was a prosecutor, his father who was a prosecutor with me. i've known him for 40 years. i didn't know alex very well but the family enjoys status and financial success in that

community for over a hundred years and with that success, with that privilege comes responsibility. and unfortunately alex has forgotten that at some point, got addicted -- by the way, those medical records show he was positive for opiates and barbiturates on the night he was taken to the savannah hospital. he has a long-term oxycontin opiate addiction which drove -- i don't know drove him but put him in a position to do these stupid illegal things. >> mr. harpootlian, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> michael? >> thank you, george. coming up next we are going to switch gears and talk about adele's powerful new video for "easy on me," the top trend overnight. we'll have the reaction this morning. we'll be right back. ♪ didn't get the chance to ♪ . now you don't. now you see me. now you don't. now you see me.

"sleepless in seattle" but a modern twist with the color. >> we saw it was all gray in "sleepless in seattle" and wanted to bring it on trend and really of the moment for fall so we're seeing lots of earthy beautiful tone colors, we have this great fall trench from h&m.

pulling in those browns, which we love. monochromatic, a little bit here with the long trench and pants as well which gives a lengthened elongated feel and then we had to do that iconic blue blazer underneath again lots of layers but really wearable for the fall. >> you guys all look fantastic. i love what you said about so much of this you could pull from what you already have in your closet for the season. >> don't forget. these are all trends that we've worn and we're bringing back so everything comes back at some point in time, so hold on to things. >> hang on to it all, guys. you look great, ladies. melissa, thank you so much. coming up, get ready for mascot madness at "college gameday." ♪ go, go big or go home ♪

we are back with the fate of robert kennedy's killer, sirhan sirhan. he is up for parole and and andd lies in the hands of gavin ndis mthan it's on to chicago. >> tortilla shortly after midnight, june 5th, 1968. senator robert f. kennedy celebrating his win in the california democratic primary. he's fatally wounded after leaving the stage shot in the kitchen of the ambassador hotel in los angeles. he was 42. 24-year-old sirhan sirhan was arrested that night, convicted of kennedy's murder in 1969.

now after more than 50 years behind bars, the 77-year-old could be on the verge of release. after 16 attempts his request for parole was recommended by a two-person panel this past august. a decision that has divided the late senator's children. rory kennedy still quite upset about it, and rory wrote a piece in "the new york times" where she said he is still refusing, sirhan sirhan, to accept full responsibility and says how can you express remorse while refusing to accept responsibility. how do you respond to that? >> she wasn't at the hearing with due respect. the commissioners who listened to sirhan and have seen his record of statements, that he has done the rehabilitation necessary to cure him release. he has consistently said he doesn't remember all the events of that evening. he's been very susceptible to listening to other people tell him. >> he does accept full responsibility? >> he accepts responsibility for

what he remembers he did. he accepts the fact that the law has deemed him the killer of rfk and he accepts that that is what has happened. he is not suddenly remembering all the details of the event and he is consistent with that statement. >> the full parole board is now reviewing the decision and will eventually go to governor gavin newsom. governor newsom is being relatively careful but he still seems to be suggesting that he's not inclined to grant sirhan sirhan parole. last month, newsom told reporters he didn't want to take a public position that would interfere with the parole process but acknowledged robert f. kennedy as a personal hero. you think he has an open mind? >> it didn't sound like what i heard he had an open mind but i would hope so. i would hope so. >> the decision should be coming within weeks. let's go to rob. george, all ri, what do we like more than cats playing, not much really, so we show you this. this i believe is oliver flagstaff, arizona, so the southwest got a piece of it.

flagstaff often gets snow but often don't see cats digging through it. they typically don't like water and the snow is going to melt. it looks thirsty and we're told by its owners it does like snows. dogs more likely like snow. here's one. this is montana who lives in utah, which got some snow the past weekend. he's having a good old time with over a foot of snow in many spots in utah and with that comes cooler air and that's what you'll see tipping into tomorrow. some of the windchills across the intermountain west and plains will be in the teens, 20s and 30s and this chilly stuff is eventually moving east but very warm in the east but a taste of fall, temperatures will get down to the 40s at speaking of the fall chill let's talk about getting organized for fall. this is a great time of year to

portion. you can buy any of these products online or at your local stores where they sell organizing products. >> reporter: and the one personal item that needs a weekly edit, our wallets. >> most people have way too much stuff in their wallet. it's always overflowing. what i like to do is what we call a wallet edit. you'll be making piles such as save, which is things that you need, then toss, a pile for things you do not need and then file. things that you necessarily don't need in your wallet but you definitely should be keeping somewhere in your home. for me the only card i need in my wallet is the wells fargo active cash visa card. this card earns me unlimited 2% cash rewards on purchases. with no categories or rules to remember. this is what most people's wallets look like, and this is what your wallet can look like after a simple edit. >> reporter: and finally creating a home office that's both family friendly and efficient. >> many people don't have a designated home office. so what i've dune is i've turned

my breakfast nook into my home office. i created this cart specifically for my office items. that way i can easily transition from pulling something out to the kitchen nook to then helping the kids with their schoolwork and then transition one more time to dinner. i can easily put everything back and roll it back to the wall. it's super important to have structure in these spaces. we have containers that are labeled. paper, notebooks, any of your tech equipment. so it's easy to clean up, easy to maintain and everyone is happy. >> i got a lot to do in organizing my household. all right. coming up, broadway is back. the cast of "girl from the north country" performs live in times square. stay right there. ♪> "gma's" "simplify your life" is sponsored by the wells fargo active cash card. earn unlimited 2% back on
