donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. >> reporter: biden warning their election denials are a threat to the nation. >> democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election. either they win or they were cheated. you can't love your country only when you win. >> reporter: the president eager to make the upcoming midterm elections a referendum on his predecessor, calling out donald trump by name and referencing maga republicans more than a dozen times. >> maga forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an america where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. they promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence.

>> reporter: violence biden said like the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol. >> they look at the mob that stormed the united states capitol on january 6th, brutally attacking law enforcement, not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger at the throat of our democracy, but they look at it as patriots. >> reporter: hours before his speech a judge issuing the longest sentence yet to a member of the mob, former new york city police officer and u.s. marine thomas weber. he now faces ten years in prison for his actions that day. in total nearly 250 people have been sentenced for their roles in the attack. the former president is fiercely defending them saying in a new interview that he is financially supporting some of those facing charges and that he would consider pardoning them if re-elected. >> i will look very, very favorably about full pardons, i mean full pardons with an apology to many an apology. >> reporter: now, the white house insists the speech last

night was not political, but this was biden's second of three trips to this critical state within the span of just one week. democrats, of course, are hoping to pick up a senate seat here in one of the most closely watched races in the country, but this is ground zero for both parties, and tomorrow night donald trump will be here holding a rally and campaigning for the republican candidates. cecilia. >> he certainly will, mary. thanks, and he's also had mixed results in his endorsements. this morning, the former president and the justice department still in a showdown over the search of mar-a-lago. both facing off in a florida courtroom. trump's lawyers comparing these hundreds of classified documents to overdue library books. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has more from west palm beach this morning. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning. it was an intense, nearly two-hour hearing with pointed legal sparring. trump's attorneys portraying him as a victim of an investigation gone too far and federal prosecutors all but saying they believe he broke the law. this morning, a judge still deciding whether or not to appoint a special master, an

independent person to review materials seized by the fbi at mar-a-lago, after a high-stakes courtroom showdown. in their first face-to-face confrontation in the case former president trump's team challenging the justice department comparing the hundreds of classified documents discovered at mar-a-lago to overdue library books. but 322 classified documents have been removed from the president's home since january. some of them in this remarkable image with clear markings, secret, top secret, some of them discovered in desks in trump's own office. doj attorneys were blunt saying, quote, because he was no longer the president, he did not have the right to take those documents. they aren't his. prosecutors insist government records were likely concealed by the trump team and efforts were likely taken to obstruct the investigation. but trump's attorney asking for a special master, citing a significant lack of trust between the parties adding, we

need respectfully to lower the temperature of both sides. we need to take a deep breath. trump's attorneys leaving without taking questions. >> are you confident the judge is going to rule in your favor? >> reporter: the judge said she will make a decision in, quote, due course which means it could come within days or sooner. gio. >> all right, pierre, we know you will follow this for us, thank you so much. now we're going to turn to the breaking news overnight, the cdc giving the green light to new covid booster shots. these new doses are specifically designed to protect against the most common variants that are circulating right now, and erielle reshef is at a vaccine site here in new york. hey, erielle, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, gio. we are here at this walgreens where they're about to administer some of the first of those upgraded covid booster shots. you can see this is alexis, she's about to get the moderna's bivalent shot. the cdc director as you said,

moment cristina fernandez de kirchner was confronted by a man with a gun. she is seen trying to duck as supporters rush the man. authorities later revealing there were five bullets in that chamber but it failed to fire when triggered. police believe the man is from brazil, but they're still trying to find a motive. fernandez de kirchner has a complicated history, a former first lady, she's now in court facing allegations of corruption. guys, that's something she denies. cecilia. >> really tough video to see. maggie, thank you so much. we turn to this release of police body camera footage showing a columbus, ohio, police officer opening fire and killing a black man while sleeping in bed. we do want to warn you this video is difficult to watch and alex perez joins us with more. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, cecilia. the shooting appears to happen in an instant. donovan lewis' family is now calling for that officer to be held accountable. >> we're going to send that dog in. >> reporter: this disturbing

police body camera video capturing the moment a columbus, ohio, officer killed 20-year-old donovan lewis. his grieving family this morning calling on that officer to be charged. >> donovan was unarmed, and he was abiding by police commands to come out of his room when he was shot in cold blood. >> reporter: about 2:30 a.m. tuesday, a team serving a felony arrest warrant for lewis on domestic violence, assault and improper handling of a firearm. >> department h. come to the door. columbus police. we're not leaving. >> reporter: the officers in uniform identifying themselves for some eight minutes, standing at the apartment front door calling on those inside to exit. >> walk backwards to me. >> reporter: two eventually did. >> we're looking for donovan. where is he at? >> reporter: officers then entering with a k9 to find lewis. authorities say officer ricky anderson fired one shot at lewis after the bedroom dooris opened.

lewis appears to be raising his hands before being struck and collapsing. the police chief says lewis appeared to be holding something in his hand, a vape pen was found on the bed but no weapons. the video made public just hours after the incident. >> it is critically important for us to let this independent investigation to take place. >> reporter: and officer anderson, a 30-year veteran of the force, has been placed on paid administrative leave pending outcome of the investigation. gio. >> big questions there, alex. thank you. we're going to turn now to u.s. law enforcement targeting a putin ally. federal agents raiding the homes of a billionaire russian oligarch here and questions this morning about the sudden death of a top russian oil executive who went against the kremlin's line on the ukraine war. our foreign correspondent james longman is tracking it all. hey, james, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning. business and politics have long been interconnected in russia. that's because some of russia's richest men made their fortunes

in companies once owned by the state. it's long been a dangerous game, but for some high-powered executives, it may have become deadly. this morning, the fbi and homeland security turning up the heat on ultra-wealthy russian oligarchs connected to president vladimir putin. agents searching the new york city apartment and a hamptons home associated with russian billionaire viktor vekselberg charged with finding assets of oligarchs trying to evade sanctions over russian's invasion of ukraine. vekselberg's $19 million yacht russian businessman is making headlines, ravil maganov fell >> this is one omany cases err ic very relad

kremlin. >> reporter: maganov is the second lukoil executive to die in the last few months. the company has been critical of ssnemato die oth wh nks to the oil and gas sector. >> it seems that even a lot of russian oligarchs are not happy about the war. they are too scared to speak up because they fear for their very lives. >> reporter: now, maganov was admitted to the hospital according to russian state media with a heart complaint and he started acting suspiciously they say and then he threw himself from the window, but eight russian executives dead in the last year. i think you'll agree that's also suspicious, michael. >> definitely raising eyebrows there, thank you so much, james. now to the august jobs report. it's one of the last major economic reports before the federal reserve meets this month to decide whether to raise interest rates again. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with that. good morning, rebecca.

>> reporter: good morning, michael. the economy added 315,000 jobs in august, what analysts were expected. the unemployment rate ticked slightly higher to 3.7%. average hourly earnings rose by 5.2% over the last year. the reason we care about this, the biggest issue facing the u.s. economy right now is inflation, prices on groceries are up more than 13% from a year ago, the cost of shelter is up almost 6% from a year ago and families are paying nearly $500 a month just to keep up. the fed is hiking interest rates, they can't make inflation go away without causing some pain for the u.s. economy and we'll eventually see that pain in jobs but so far we haven't. there are 11.2 million job openings, 2 jobs for every job seeker seeker, cecilia.

>> thanks, i know you'll stay on this one. i know what we'll be doing tonight because it is going to be all eyes on serena williams as the tennis legend is back on center court in what could be her final tournament. lara, you have been there at the national tennis center with more all along. we watched both williams sisters in that amazing match last night, but ias electric when the sisters took center court to play their first doubles match in four years, but the mood quickly changed as it became more apparent that serena's doubles career is now likely over. venus and serena last played together in 2018 at the french open and trying to jump back on the court at the u.s. open proved tennis at this level not exactly like riding a bike. it was the open's first nighttime doubles match in nine years, bumping the men's singles with rafa nadal to the later slot to capitalize on the ratings juggernaut that has been serena's farewell performance, but the sisters who have won 14 grand slam doubles championships

together, well, they struggled to find their rhythm losing 7-6, 6-4 to first-time partners linda noskova and lucie hradecka from the czech republic. noskova, just 17 years old, a quarter century younger than venus, and a self-professed serena superfan. the rising star admitting that she has a poster of williams over her bed. look at this. a post she made to instagram at 13 years old, professing her love for the g.o.a.t. after the match she admitted it was sometimes overwhelming playing her hero, clearly not that overwhelming. while it probably was not a very festive night in the williams camp with venus now out of the tournament, many fans do see a silver lining. if we can't watch more of the sisters play doubles at least it gives serena more energy and focus for her singles. a huge night here for serena as you said, cecilia, and the world of tennis as well as she plays what could be her final match of her career against 46th ranked ajla tomljanovic.

it all happens tonight at 7:00 on espn and as serena says, it's all gravy now, guys. >> all gravy now. >> magic tonight. thank you, lara. we are following a lot of other headlines, including the frightening close call at a major airport. exclusive video from inside a small plane evading a passenger jet, this as millions head out for the holiday weekend. and the latest on amazon's billion-dollar bet as the new "lord of the rings" prequel hits streaming, but first let's head over to ginger. records just keep dropping out west and i'm not just talking about daily records because you see that and go, okay, this is their hot time of year. no, we're talking about salt lake city hitting 102 being their all-time hottest september record that they've ever seen and now they have just smashed how many 100 plus degree day records over the summer. calabasas, california, this is the root fire and this thing is now 27% contained. it's burned more than 5,000 acres. the heat is going to keep building and continuing all the way through labor day itself so stay hydrated.

power plant caught in the crossfire, amid growing concerns of a potentially dangerous accident there. president zelenskyy is now calling for the area to be declared a demilitarized zone but russia so far has rejected that idea. the cdc gave the green light to new covid booster shots. these new doses are designed to protect against the most common variants circulating right now and the rollout starts as we head into the holiday weekend. and tomorrow is the first-ever national cinema day for one day and one day only. movie tickets will be 3 bucks. the goal is to lure people into the cinema during a traditional lull in ticket sales. most chains including regal and amc. 30,000 theaters nationwide. if you want to find out where, go to nationalcinemaday.org for times and locations. the last time americans paid $3 for a movie ticket, 1982, the biggest hit, one of my favorites, "e.t." which, by the way, is playing tomorrow and you can see it for 3 bucks.

>> so you're treating, you're saying. >> sure. everybody come along and let's go see "e.t." >> like the drive-in when you sneak all your friends in the car and pay 3 bucks. >> now you're getting too cheap, michael. we got a lot more ahead, including the holiday sales you don't want to miss especially, michael, how you can save big this weekend. that's coming up. >> all right. i told you how to save big, gio. you don't want to take my advice. go ahead and waste your money. we're going to turn now to a close call between a small plane and a passenger jet over the airport in orlando. we have exclusive video of the near-miss which comes as some pilots take to the picket line on this busy labor day weekend. victor oquendo joins us with that. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this incident was way too close for comfort. thankfully both pilots spotted each other. they were able to avoid disaster. now an investigation is under way. this morning, the close call in midair.

take a look at this near-miss video filmed from inside a single-engine cessna looking down at a delta 757 taking off nearby. the cessna's pilot, malik clarke took evasive action avoiding a disaster. >> i knew that this didn't look right. so immediately i turned right and i climbed as steep as i could because the boeing 757 has a much higher climb rate than the aircraft that i was flying. >> reporter: it happened above orlando international airport last month. >> runway 36 left. clear for takeoff. >> reporter: clarke had just taken off nearby and says he was instructed to overfly the runway where the delta flight was taking off. both pilots saw each other. >> orlando, approach, roger. what heading did they give you? >> we saw the guy coming and

so we just flew 150. >> if i hadn't done that evasive maneuver, it's quite likely there would have been a midair collision. >> reporter: now the faa is investigating, but initial reports show the planes were closer than they should have been. >> tower, we got that traffic that just passed directly above us. >> the two aircraft got as close as 500 feet vertically and 1,500 feet horizontally which means way too close and it was someone's error to put them in the same part of the sky. >> reporter: delta is also investigating saying nothing is more important than safety. this scare coming as airlines struggle with staffing and scheduling. pilots picketing at 14 major airports around the country heading into a busy holiday weekend. airlines stressing the pilots are off-duty and protests will not lead to delays or cancellations, but it will be a busy weekend. according to hopper, some 13 million americans are set to travel this labor day weekend.

now, more people will be traveling by car than plane this holiday weekend so you can expect some delays out there on the roads. the absolute worst times to travel between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. today. best times to travel, before 1:00 p.m. or after 7:00 p.m., guys. >> victor, thank you so much for that. they're going to investigate and do what they need to do but clearly this should not have happened. this is a passenger jet, very, very dangerous. all right, we turn to another incredible story here. the heroic teenage boys in michigan driving down the street and spotted a house fire. they stopped and jumped into action saving people inside and andrew dymburt has the story. >> reporter: this morning, three teenage boys seen here in this doorbell video are being called heroes for saving lives out of a burning house in michigan. you can see smoke billowing from the home. >> we just pulled off to the side, tried opening up a door and the front door opened so we went around back.

>> reporter: high school students ethan, chase and colin pulled their car over when they saw smoke coming from a garage calling 911 after they heard shouts. > i'm in the backyard right now. >> okay, we have help on the way, okay, try to get everybody out of the house if you see anybody in there but we have help on the way, okay? >> reporter: but they couldn't wait, two of them serving as first responder while the other waited for trained personnel to arrive. >> the flame is right there in the garage so they were right by the fire which is pretty scary. >> reporter: a short time later you see people emerging. the two inside making it out safely. >> when ethan like we thought we lost him in the house. like, what if he didn't get out. smoke in his lungs. when he came out it was a big relief. >> reporter: officials praising the fast action of those students. the fire and rescue chief saying, they could have just drove by, but instead they decided to take action and stopped this incident from becoming a tragedy, resulting in loss of life. >> couldn't drive away and not go in there. >> i didn't think about it. just went in. >> i wouldn't have done anything different.

>> reporter: now, one of those hero teens says the woman in the burning house didn't want to come out until she could grab her belongings so he forced her out, perhaps saving her life. a reminder in a fire leave your things behind. stuff can always be replaced but your life just can't. cecilia. >> really good reminder there. can we get a shot of andrew's fresh kicks. >> oh, no, come on now. >> oh. >> yeah, look at these. those are nice. >> you got to be fresh on id. you'll want to stick around for this next story, because we'll talk shopping. you look like you're a shoe guy here. we have labor day sales to tll you about. bit of relief from the sky high inflation pres chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is here. i'm so excited to talk about shopping, i can't even say it all. you got some tips on where to find the best deals. hey, rebecca. >> reporter: there are some sneakers out there. you will find great deals this weekend. retailers are sitting on loads of excess merch and their pain is your gain.

there are categories to buy now and some to wait on. we start with appliances, pick up this frigidaire dishwasher for $499 at lowe's, a savings of 130 bucks. at best buy this range is $649, $220 off. and if you're on the lookout for a refrigerator, home depot has this samsung for $700 off. mattresses traditionally go on sale on labor day, this year is no exception. among the deals, casper is offering up to $600 off mattresses and up to 50% off select items. tempur-pedic is taking up to $500 off and mattress firm has a serta at $500 off. that is half off, cecilia. >> good savings there. these are the big ticket items. what should we wait on? >> hold off on home electronics like tvs, laptops and tablets. you might see attractive prices right now, but you will probably get a better deal on black friday. skip buying a new car. if you typically would find new cars on sale, not now with the

average incentive leading up to this weekend down 47% from last year according to j.d. power.to out the older used models as those are thousands of dollars less than they were earlier this year, cecilia. >> cars are so expensive right now. we need to andrew to listen to this one, clothing always a popular category. what do you got? >> buy the sneakers that were big last year. do buy summer clothing. we found this sweater tank top at banana republic. it usually goes for $60, it's now 16 bucks, plus an additional 20% off. wait on those fall clothes, most of these will see bigger markdowns later in the season. >> the reason there are so many big savings, because this excess in inventory. if stores can't get rid of it will we see more in the coming months. >> always there's a better deal somewhere around the corner. here's the really important thing to keep in mind. interest rates are going up. that means your credit card is getting more expensive. if you're buying this stuff on

back now back now on "gma" with the summer winding down, fans are preparing to fall in love with some highly anticipated prequels. hbo's "house of the dragon" already breaking records and now the pressure is on amazon with the ultra expensive prequel to "lord of the rings." "the rings of power" premiered overnight and janai norman is here. janai, this is literally a billion-dollar show. >> michael strahan, that is not hyperbole. it is not an overstatement. it is a billion dollar show, possibly the most expensive show ever. maybe they should have looked for a discount. based on the "lord of the rings" trilogy that famed director stanley kubrick once said was unfilmable. the question now, was the gamble worth it? >> in the darkness his vow became mine. >> reporter: the highly anticipated "lord of the rings" prequel series "rings of power" debuting overnight. >> you have fought long enough. >> reporter: on track to

possibly being the most expensive show ever made, a whopping $1 billion on the line. it's a summer series executive chairman jeff bezos is banking on being a hit. >> bezos and amazon spent over $250 million just on the rights to "lord of the rings," another $465 million or so just for that first season alone, divide that by eight episodes. they're planning on doing ultimately around 50 episodes of this series. >> reporter: but prequels have historically been a hollywood gamble and so far there have been mixed reviews about the release of the first two episodes. an editor from "entertainment weekly" saying there are ways to do a prequel and "lord of the rings" does them all wrong. saying it makes nobody fun, sends the best character on a pointless detour, and the first two hours stick to seen-it-before places and boring situations. >> for amazon they're counting on this to really relaunch their

streaming service and make them a leader in an increasingly competitive environment. >> reporter: "rings of power," an expansion of widely popular "lord of the rings" franchise -- >> my own adventure turned out to be quite different. >> reporter: telling of the second age of middle earth, a world only slightly explored by author j.r.r. tolkien. >> it was repr:t'ow t latest prequality series to hit the small screen, following hbo's "house of the dragon." the prelude to the massively successful "game of thrones," an instant hit, 10 million viewers making it the largest series premiere in hbo history. so pair that tough review from "entertainment weekly" from a review from "the guardian" saying "rings of power" so astounding it makes "house of the dragon" look amateur. whether that billion dollars was worth it, depends who you ask. others point out, with only two episodes it's hard to make a call yet.

yeah, guys, i know, that other headline sounded like those could be fighting words too. >> you know how i know how it's serious when i introduced janai, she said, yes, michael strahan. >> both names. both names. >> sounded like my momma. >> really in trouble if she uses the middle name. >> we'll be right back. >> we'll be right back. he... she pulled me in. wasn't expecting that. it was literally... literally the greatest thing i've ever seen... scene... it was such a scene, but i looked pretty hot... so hot. i mean the look on his face... face it! you really missed out on the best time... time of our lives. you really had to be there. when you're with amex, you always have a story to tell. it's never a question of if it's going to happen... it's when. ♪♪ my husband and i have never been more active. shingles doesn't care. i go to spin classes with my coworkers. good for you, shingles doesn't care. because no matter how healthy you feel, your risk of shingles sharply increases after age 50.

the tsa is out with some new numbers this morning, more than 2.3 million passengers were screened yesterday, that's more than the same day in 2019. more people will travel by car than plane this weekend. so if you're planning on hitting the road prepare for some slowdowns or delays. the absolute worst times to leave today between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. in most major cities. the best times, though, before 1:00 p.m. or after 7:00 p.m. similar times for tomorrow as well, but the good news here, gas prices are down, the national average is now around $3.82. it's down $1.19 from when it reached its record price and travel is expected to be lighter than the fourth of july and memorial day. still never a bad idea to give yourself a little extra time. cecilia. >> we always will. victor, thank you so much. michael, you will need to pay attention to this, because it is a huge college football weekend, everybody. the top teams, i'm told, will be playing for the first time this season with some big-time match-ups. will reeve is joining us from

can help you avoid burnout as the american psychological association reports nearly three in five employees have experienced negative impacts of work-related stress in the past month. abc news chief medical correspondent dr. jen ashton is here. >> good morning, my friend. how are you? >> good, good, okay, so let's get it started. before we move on to the study let's talk about burnout. this is a very real condition, isn't it? >> it's real. so many people who -- you cited a statistic in the last month but how about the last year, the last two years, a lot of it has really been exacerbated since the pandemic, right, but it's not a new phenomenon and the world health organization actually talks about it. it's not a medical diagnosis, per se, so there's no one test for it, if you will, but it's more and more common, really due to chronic work-related stress, and what does it feel like? exhaustion. mental and physical exhaustion, feelings of negativity, decreased performance at work, feeling like you're not valued by your employer. you might have a short fuse and snap at colleagues or co-workers or employers or employees, so these can all be signs or

symptoms of burnout, but it's not something that we can do an easy test for, if you will. >> so let's talk about the new research because what it says is that micro-breaks, even just ten minutes at a time could make a difference. >> right, and so it's not really about quantity, but it's about quality and the practice and this builds on prior past research showing that this phenomenon of micro-breaks, just taking a little time-out, not doing other work-related tasks really can help. it doesn't make you more productive in the workplace but it does tend to lower those subjective feelings of fatigue and irritability. >> so what do these micro-breaks look like? >> okay, well, i'm going to take one right now, maybe after the segment but it's really -- what do they look like? short pauses in between work tasks, again, five, ten minutes, it doesn't have to be a significant period of time. get up, stretch, take a walk outside. the key when you

is, gio, focus on those activities or behaviors like stretching. but it involves taking a complete time-out from your job or your work responsibilities for those five or ten minutes, but every minute really steams -- seems to have an impact. >> that's what i like to do, get on the foam roller for a few minutes. >> or take deep breaths, do stretches, but just focus on that and not your job for five or ten minutes. you can blame it on me when you get in trouble with your boss. >> dr. jen, so good to see you. thank you. michael. now to uvalde, texas, and a high school football team trying to help their small community heal after unthinkable tragedy. the uvalde players are getting redy to take the field for their first home game since the school shooting at robb elementary claimed the lives of 21 children and teachers and they are hoping to unite their community while honoring those they lost. ♪ in texas, love for football is as big as the state. >> football means a lot.
