7:03 am
more on that ahead. but we want to get right to the breaking news overnight. north korea launched a missile over japan. >> it triggered an emergency warning for people in the path of the missile to seek shelter. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. kim jong-un has launched four missiles in just the last week, short range ballistic missiles that didn't raise many eyebrows, but this ballistic launch had people running for cover and the u.s. and south korea responding with a show of force. [ sirens ] >> reporter: it is the first time in five years that north korea has fired a ballistic missile directly over japan. sirens wailed. tv and radios erupted with rare and urgent warnings to citizens in the north and on islands near tokyo to seek shelter. a significant escalation by north korea. according to japan's ministry of defense, the intermediate range missile was airborne for 17
7:04 am
minutes, traveling more than 2,800 miles before crashing into the waters off of japan. overnight, the white house releasing a statement condemning the missile launch saying, the united states will continue its efforts to limit the dprk's ability to advance its prohibited ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs. while the north has launched missiles over japan in the past, the last time in 2017, no one has been injured but there is always a risk of a missile landing short or malfunctioning and hitting japan. so this is a clear decision by north korea to ratchet up the pressure. the latest launch following four this week comes at the end of joint u.s./south korean military exercises and a visit to the region by vice president kamala harris. and just a short time ago the south koreans announced that in
7:05 am
a joint bombing drill with the u.s., two precision-guided missiles were launched at virtual targets on an uninhabited island off the coast of the korean peninsula, a direct response to the north korean missile launch. guys? >> martha raddatz, thanks. we're going to get the latest now in the war in ukraine. russian troops on the run in the east and the south, just days after ukraine took back a key city. ian pannell is on the scene. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. we're in slovyansk, this is a key city in the donbas. a month ago was on the front line and looked to be in imminent danger of being taken by russia. today the front line has been pushed well back, and it is being so almost on a daily basis. but we're also seeing, not just russian forces in retreat around here, but across ukraine. this morning, another major breakthrough for ukrainian forces. troops in the south pushing through russia's front lines towards the city of kherson liberating towns and villages
7:06 am
along the way. ukraine seized thousands of square miles of territory since going on the offensive, pushing russian troops back in the northeast and reclaiming parts of the eastern donbas region, areas putin illegally annexed on friday. over the weekend, a key transportation and logistics hub lyman falling to the ukrainians. we're very close to the front lines and the liberated town of lyman is just down the road there. we're seeing a lot of military activity, a lot of military vehicles and the mood amongst the soldiers is buoyant. captain alexander led his men in the liberation of lyman. >> how do you account for this sudden turn around? >> we've seen it in kharkiv, now we're seeing it in donbas. [ speaking in non-english ] >> reporter: he said it's down to the bravery of the troops and support of america and the allies. now a senior defense official
7:07 am
telling abc news a new $600 million aid package is expected to be announced today. the officials saying recent attacks by ukrainian forces around kherson in the south have forced the russians into a defensive position and amid all the setbacks, a stunning new admission from the kremlin, they don't even know where the borders of their newly claimed lands are now. well, perhaps that's because those areas of russian control is now shrinking so fast. after that stunning announcement by putin that he was claiming whole regions of ukraine as now part of russia, president zelenskyy this morning signing a presidential decree declaring the impossibility of holding any kind of negotiations with russia's president vladimir putin. george? >> ian pannell, thanks. let's bring in our military analyst stephen ganyard. you just heard ian used the word stunning a couple times. what do you make of the significance of this ukrainian advance? >> it is stunning, george, because these are the areas that the russians had prioritized. meaning that, remember, they had brought troops down from the
7:08 am
north and reinforced in the south. the entranceway or the areas leading towards crimea are critically important for the russians, because if they lose crimea, putin will fall and we know that putin will not give up power easily which is why the u.s. is so concerned about his use of nuclear weapons. >> steve, i know you're clearing your throat right there. in these areas it doesn't feel like a strategic retreat from russia. it feels more like a rout. can putin turn things around? >> he can't, george. they're pulling conscripts off the street. they're putting them right into the front lines and the systemic failures of the russian military mean that they're going to be doing no better than the armies have done in the past. so very difficult for putin. but there's also an interesting dichotomy. putin's political strategy is to hold these four areas and in
7:09 am
doing so he has strung out his military, made them vulnerable to the ukrainians. so in a sense what the military ought to be doing is falling back, consolidating on defense positions but his political strategy is undermining his military strategy, weakening his military and leading to these big gains by the ukrainians in the south. >> and, meantime, any sense of why north korea is launching all these missiles right now? >> yeah, kim jong-un doesn't like to be out of the spotlight. so he has gone back to a missile that we've seen before, eight times before, about 2,300 miles with a nuclear weapon. could reach guam but maybe not australia. but remember that north korea's best client is tehran and so this is plenty of range to go from tehran to, say, tel aviv or riyadh. and so in that sense, what's happening in asia is being watched in tehran and riyadh and tel aviv. >> it's all connected. steve, thanks very much. amy? now to the aftermath of hurricane ian. officials are now reporting over 100 deaths from that monster storm that slammed into florida
7:10 am
last week and search and rescue efforts are still under way. victor oquendo is in fort myers, florida. he has the latest on all of that. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, amy. more than half of those who died in florida lived here in lee county. we're in fort myers beach. this area just devastated by ian. let's take you up to our drone. this is what it looks like nearly a week after the hurricane passed. for so many here they relied on these boats for their livelihoods. these were their businesses, now they've been destroyed. this morning, the death toll from hurricane ian climbing to a staggering 103. in florida and in north carolina. search and recovery crews have been working nonstop since the storm passed transporting thousands from their destroyed homes to shelters. conditions in the hard-hit barrier islands even worse. 440,000 customers are still without power in southwest florida. devastating storm surge, flooding and fierce winds produced by ian.
7:11 am
>> listen to that roar. >> reporter: this new video captured by accuweather storm chasers showing wind gusts at pine island at 150 miles per hour. our team visiting this area nearby. >> the water got all the way to the mailbox. >> reporter: maria and her husband chris rode it out inside that home. >> it was just 20 hours of terror. >> reporter: for now they're staying put without water or power and since ian they're isolated from most of the island. this is a small island north of sanibel and this is not a canal behind me. look here. that's the seawall and that barge you see flipped over was attached to it but during hurricane ian, it ripped the seawall apart allowing all this water inside, and if you look down there, well, that was the street. it got ripped apart and now residents who live on the other side can't get in or out. now, this is how residents get from one side to the other. >> this little boat is the only way on and off.
7:12 am
you jump on and grab that rope on the other side and pull yourself across. >> reporter: search and rescue crews have been working 24 hours a day here in fort myers beach. the county manager calling it dangerous, saying that the electrical infrastructure has been destroyed and homeowners might not be able to return for 30 days. george, president biden plans on visiting florida tomorrow. >> okay, victor, thanks very much. we turn to breaking news from washington. a new report that former president trump's lawyer alex cannon refused a request from trump to tell the national archives that all of his documents had been returned months before the fbi's search of mar-a-lago. chief washington correspondent jon karl is tracking the case. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, this is a report in "the washington post" that says that shortly after trump turned over the initial 15 boxes of records to the national archives earlier this year he asked that lawyer, alex cannon, to tell the national archives that he had turned over all his presidential records.
7:13 am
according to "the post" cannon refused to do so because the statement simply wasn't true. we now know that trump had many, many more presidential records with him at mar-a-lago. we know that because, of course, the fbi executed that search warrant and retrieved some two dozen boxes' worth of presidential records in august of this year, including many ocuments that were marked as classified. at the time that he had asked his lawyer to issue this statement trump did put out a public statement saying that he was cooperating fully, collaboratively, respectfully with the national archives. we now know, of course, george, that that wasn't true either. >> right. that statement did not say that everything had been turned over. jon karl, thanks very much. michael? >> all right, thank you, george. now to the trial of five members of the oath keepers. the far right militia accused of plotting to attack the u.s. capitol in the january 6th riots. in a blistering opening statement prosecutors told the jurors the men planned an armed rebellion. abc chief justice correspondent
7:14 am
pierre thomas has the details. >> reporter: the video now infamous, marching in lockstep, making their way toward the u.s. capitol. in their opening arguments against the leaders of the oath keepers, prosecutors claiming that march was an act of seditious conspiracy, part of an armed rebellion to shatter a bedrock of american democracy. prosecutors say stewart rhodes, the founder of the oath keepers, and four other leaders had allegedly been planning for weeks to use force to block congress from certifying joe biden as president and to keep trump in office. authorities pointing to this video with rhodes taped just days after the november 2020 election as prophetic. >> we have men already stationed outside d.c. as a nuclear option in case they attempt to remove the president illegally. we will step in and stop it. >> reporter: authorities discovered an arsenal of firearms, including assault-style rifles at a hotel outside of d.c. on january 6th allegedly part of a so-called quick reaction force.
7:15 am
the oath keepers described as paramilitary in nature, actively recruits former military and law enforcement. but defense attorneys claim the government's case is overblown and that their clients are patriots who simply were at the capitol that day to provide security. at least three other leaders of the oath keepers have pled guilty to charges involving seditious conspiracy. they are cooperating and could testify in the trial, which may last up to a month. amy? >> all right, pierre thomas, thank you for that. we turn to the urgent search for an apparent serial killer in california. mola lenghi is in stockton, california, with the very latest on the new connections this morning. good morning, mola. >> reporter: good morning, amy. police announcing two more shootings connected to a string o murders here in stockton, california. those two shootings happening in april of 2021. one of the victims, a hispanic male, died. that brings a total of six men killed, five just since this past july which has led
7:16 am
authorities here to investigate a possible serial killer. five of the six people were hispanic and police say they are threading together physical evidence that may tie the killings to each other releasing this photo of a person of interest seen near two of the crime scenes. the victims were between the ages of 21 and 54 years old. the killings all happening at night or in the early morning hours when authorities say these people were alone at the times of the incidents. also, no signs of robberies according to police. one of the victim's families telling us they initially thought this was a random, isolated murder and they were shocked to find out that they all appear to be connected, linked to each other. george, as you can imagine, a community on edge. >> i bet they are. it's just horrific. mola, thanks very much. to politics now and the midterm elections just weeks away a major shake-up in georgia's senate race. republican candidate herschel walker who backs an abortion ban is denying a report that he paid for an abortion over a decade ago. congressional correspondent rachel scott has the latest. >> let me hear herschel walker. come on. >> reporter: this morning,
7:17 am
georgia republican candidate herschel walker denying an explosive report by "the daily beast" alleging the candidate who opposes abortion not only encouraged his then girlfriend in 2009 to get an abortion herself but paid for the procedure. the former nfl player quickly denied the allegations tweeting, this is a flat-out lie and i deny this in the strongest possible terms. "the daily beast" says the woman who asked not to be identified for privacy reasons, provided a receipt she says is from the clinic, a get well card she says is from the heisman trophy winner and an image of a check from walker for $700. overnight on fox news walker claimed it was a political attack. >> i never asked anyone to get an abortion. i never paid for an abortion. >> reporter: he said he sends money to a lot of people. >> do you know the woman that is making this allegation? >> i have no idea, but it is a flat-out lie. >> reporter: and now one of walker's sons blasting his father's decision to run for office. christian walker, an outspoken
7:18 am
conservative with a large social media following tweeted, every family member of herschel walker asked him not to run for office. saying that his father chose to air out all of his dirty laundry in public while simultaneously lying about it. this could have big implications, george. this is a race that could determine which party controls the senate. george? >> right. rachel, i know you'll be in georgia for "power trip." thanks. amy? coming up, players' reports of sexual misconduct, verbal and emotional abuse by coaches were ignored for years in women's soccer. that's coming up. first, let's go to ginger. >> we're dealing with that coastal low. it is causing big-time rain, an inch and a half plus. that was daily record and then rehoboth beach, some of those roads closed because of coastal flooding which we'll see more of today. legi let's get your local weather in 30 seconds. drew: morning cloudsy

puerto rico yesterday. of course, it was hammered by hurricane fiona and said he's committed to the island and he announced more than $60 million in funding to help coastal areas to become better prepared for the storm. it was the market's best day since july. the dow soared 765 points. the rally fueled by thoughts the fed may not have to raise interest rates as much as originally feared. plus, is this a good time to buy a home or not? rebecca jarvis is breaking down what you need to consider with plunging home prices. that's all coming up. we turn to the stunning new report about widespread abuse in women's soccer. the report finding rampant verbal, emotional and sexual misconduct in the national women's soccer league. eva pilgrim is here with more on that. good morning, eva. >> guys, this report is pretty damning. painting a picture of pervasive abuse rooted in a deeper culture going all the way back to youth leagues. this morning, calls for change after a scathing new report revealed systemic abuse and misconduct across u.s. women's soccer. >> those who were in a position
7:32 am
to make a difference didn't. they not only failed to respond appropriately to evidence of abuse, they had also failed to institute the most basic measures. >> reporter: the independent report zeroing in on three coaches -- paul riley, rory dames and christy holly. holly racing louisville's coach accused of sexually coercing player erin simon. claiming she touched her inappropriately each time she made an errant pass in the video. louisville terminating him for cause after an investigation but alleged misconduct.sing his - dames who coached for the chicago red stars until november 2021 and ran a prominent youth soccer club accused in an early report of creating a culture of fear and being emotionally and verbally abusive. he was permitted to resign from the red stars but keep his youth club. and new allegations made against riley, the former portland thorns manager, who was the
7:33 am
center of an expose by "the athletic" which sparked this independent probe. mana shim speaking to espn's "e:60" alleging riley invited her to his hotel room. >> he quickly shut the door behind me. i saw he was in his underwear. he told me to get on bed and watch film. there was no film pulled up. i knew at that point that i had to find a way out and i was not willing to compromise myself for my career or for this person. >> reporter: even though riley was let go from the thorns after shim said she reported the alleged abuse to the team owners, he continued coaching professionally. at one point he was even on the short list for the head job for the women's national team. alex morgan, one of shim's former teammates telling "e:60" she urged u.s. women's soccer not to hire riley. >> i had helped mana do the right thing, which was reporting paul to the league and hoping
7:34 am
that they would take action and hold him accountable and she went through all the right steps, and she was failed. she was failed by the system. >> reporter: now, riley has previously denied the allegations. when news of these allegations first broke, half of the teams dropped head coaches amid player complaints and the u.s. soccer federation is now promising change and erin simon told abc news, i want to do everything in my power to ensure no other player must experience what i did. guys? >> that is stunning indeed. eva, thank you very much. joining us now is "usa today" sports columnist christine brennan. christine, you hear this and you -- it's so jaw dropping that this has been going on from top to bottom for so long. how does something like this happen and why? >> amy, it's all about control. and it's about little kids playing soccer or the gymnastics horrors that we know from a few years ago.
7:35 am
other sports have dealt with this as well. youth sports where the parents see the kids as hopefully getting college scholarships, maybe making an olympic team, so the coach is allowed to do things no one would ever allow an adult to do around their kids -- yell at them, scream at them, emotional abuse, and pretty soon it becomes sexual abuse as the report has said and as eva's report detailed. at that point it's in the dna of the sport and that young athlete, she believes this is all just part of what she has to do and deal with and it's tragic. it's awful. it's unacceptable. it's infuriating, and yet it is absolutely a big part of american sports. >> and thank goodness we're talking about it and exposing it. the u.s. soccer federation, what does it need to do better? how does it protect its players? >> there's a couple of things they've said they're going to do. i think these are good ideas. one, a database. u.s. center for safe sport has been doing it for years. there's a database where basically any coach who is found to violate any kind of rule, obviously sexual abuse, sexual
7:36 am
assault, all those terrible things, their name would be on that website. i think it should be a neon flashing on any website. so that you can't pass the dirty laundry to the next team as has been described. that, of course, can help keep kids safe because those coaches won't be hired and then someone who can be -- anyone can go to anonymously. they can text. they can call. that would be a way to tell a story that -- get that word out. otherwise, they feel powerless right now to tell about these abusive coaches. >> christine, you mentioned the abuse, the scandal in women's gymnastics. now hearing we're about it in soccer all the way down to youth leagues. you're a parent. what do you do? how do you protect your daughter? >> i think what you need to do is speak out. even if you're thinking, oh, my goodness, if i speak out my kid might be demoted, a 6 or 7-year-old or 10 or 12-year-old, you have to take that risk because it's about your child's life, not about the fact that they get a chance to play a few
7:37 am
more minutes in a soccer game. and at the end of the day, your child will make it in college, high school, college or even the pros if she's good enough, not if you've been worried about being mean to a coach when she's 12 years old. >> well, a very important thing indeed. christine, thanks for being with us. you can see more on this investigation on "e:60's: truth be told." it premiers tonight at 7:00 eastern on espn. george? >> thanks, amy. now we want to talk about plunging home prices and the biggest monthly decline since the height of the financial risis in january 2009. chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is here to break it all down. good morning, rebecca. >> good morning, george. the question i get the most these days, is this a good time to buy or not? looking for a deep discount, not quite, analysts are forecasting even steeper price drops ahead after two years of surging, home prices started falling nationally in june.
7:38 am
they dropped by 2% by august their largest monthly declines as you said since january of 2009 according to mortgage data provider black knight. the worst performing markets include san jose, down 13% from its 2022 records, san francisco down nearly 11% and seattle down almost 10%. nationally even after the declines, though, values are still up about 40% from march of 2020. that's a staggering climb. this is also a highly personal decision. you have to look at your own finances, how you're paying, if you're doing it with a mortgage. rates are at 15-year highs. hw long you plan to stay. it's at least five years, guys. >> all right, thank you, as always, rebecca. coming up next, our exclusive with the cmo of mcdonald's. how inflation is impacting fast food and what to expect with what some people are calling the adult happy meal.

our customers. and our fans have been really clear to us that that value they've come to expect from mcdonald's has never frankly been more important to them. so, yeah, we're committed to continuing to have that ability to provide our customers those kind of offers, whether that's through our everyday value meal or unique offers we're making through national or local promotions or exclusive offers through the app, it's something we're committed to being there for our fans and making sure they have valuable options. >> looking ahead, does the company have plans to reduce prices or have any deals coming up to help customers who are struggling with high food costs? >> yeah. you know, look, we're leaning in and making sure those value offers are still on the menu and providing them options for them to continue to gain that value. we work with our franchisees to really make sure we're offering our customers the best options for them, but also looking at value beyond just deals and believe, and our fans have told us, you not only connect through deals but unique experiences and we've been doing that whether through unique merchandise
7:44 am
offers. we did a program in july where we gave fans exclusive access to concerts through the app and our latest offer which we'll talk about cactus plant flea market is another great way we're leaning in providing additional offer to a traditional combo meal they're used to getting at a great price but with an additional break. >> definitely everybody likes a little added incentive. we know companies out there also are dealing with their own challenges because of inflation and we've even seen mcdonald's hiking prices in several countries. so how has inflation impacted mcdonald's and can u.s. customers expect to see similar increases? >> yeah, you know, as i said there's no sector that's really immune from some of the challenges of increasing costs, and so we're trying to monitor when we do those things so it doesn't hit the customer too hard. we continue to provide our customers with the kind of great value they expected and again, doing it through the places where they expected it from us is value meal options and making
7:45 am
sure we have offers to keep that value in place for our customers and that's really important to us. >> now we're going to talk about what you alluded to earlier, because it's been making waves this week. it's the new happy meal of sorts for adults. it's called a cactus plant flea market box. tell us all about it. >> yeah. look, it really came out of the inspiration of what you just talked about. it's a universal familiar experience that we all had as children that kid-like joy you had with your happy meal and if it wasn't you maybe the experience you had watching your children have a happy meal. we thought it would be a great way to capture that joy and wrap it up in a great experience that we could give to adults. then we did a great collab with cactus plant flea market. they did the design of the box and these great little surprises you find inside. so you go through that same kid-like experience and you get to choose a big mac or ten-piece nugget with world famous fries and a drink, and then the surprise for the adult is this really fantastic collab uniquely

it is a very harrowing book. you know, constance wu talks about going from hollywood darling of the asian american community to pariah with a few tweets she later regretted. after three long years she says she's finally ready to break her silence and shed light on the intense emotions she says she was battling before, during and after it all fell apart. >> i'm finally getting to be heard and tell my story where, you know, i felt judged for so long. oh, she had this big movie, "crazy rich asians" come out. now she thinks she's this big star who like outgrew her tv show. >> that was the narrative. >> and that she's a diva, but we're all so much more than our tweets. >> reporter: after stepping out of the spotlight for three years, constance wu now setting the record straight in her new book, "making a scene." the 40-year-old got her big break in the groundbreaking abc hit "fresh off the boat," but wu says while it was a triumph for asian american representation, it also hid a dark truth. >> my first couple years on
8:12 am
"fresh off the boat" i was sexually harassed by a producer and i was, you know, intimidated and threatened a lot by him. >> reporter: wu alleges the inappropriate behavior included asking for revealing selfies and an incident of unwanted touching but she remained silent. >> i was scared of losing my job but also because and this is pre-me too movement. compared to other stories of the harassment i endured, it, quote, wasn't that bad. >> so you repressed a lot of pain for many years. >> my abuser on the show was an asian american man producer and it really was a conflict for me because i didn't want to stain the reputation of the one show asian americans had to represent themselves. i shut up because this producer was such a good proponent for asian american issues that i don't want to bring him down. >> are you afraid of speaking out now? >> am i afraid of backlash?
8:13 am
of course, there is not much to be gained when survivors tell their stories. >> reporter: wu says she was also fighting clinical depression while filming the 2018 blockbuster "crazy rich asians." >> four, five months later i couldn't even get off the couch, you know, when i got home from filming. >> reporter: repressed memories of a sexual assault by a different man a decade earlier resurfaced. all while she rocketed to worldwide fame. >> constance, big smile. >> reporter: but with a couple of clicks that all changed. in 2019 wu tweeted her dismay that "fresh off the boat" had been renewed. >> when i found out that i couldn't move on, honestly in that moment i felt betrayed and i felt lied to. i felt a little reckless. >> reporter: the backlash immediate. >> there was a huge pile-on. i was essentially canceled for coming off as ungrateful and the most painful thing of all was it was really the asian american community that either ostracized or avoided me the most.
8:14 am
>> reporter: wu put out an apology. i love "fresh off the boat." i was temporarily upset yesterday not because i hate the show but because its renewal meant i had to give up another project i was really passionate about, but the firestorm continued. wu says an asian actress contacted her calling her blight on the asian american community and says these messages drove her to the brink. so tell me about what happened that night. >> i mean, i pulled myself over the balcony of my apartment building, you know, and i was going to jump. it's like talking about it now makes my palms itch because i remember like holding on to it, but ultimately it ended up being something helpful because i got help. >> what did that help look like? >> i was in therapy every day
8:15 am
for awhile and took me a long time to get on the right medication. it looked like me completely unplugging from social media. >> what do you think about cancel culture? >> i was canceled for being less than the perfect -- for not being the asian people wanted plea to be, ungrateful, bratty, whatever. do i think the proportion of the hatred and cancellation pitted at me was equal to the amount of error i did, no. but whatever, i'm thinking about how i can be a better person and it's made me try to be a better person. >> constance says she's now enjoying motherhood and a new kind of pace after three years of self-discovery offline. she's now rejoined social media now because she wants to reach people like her online with similar issues. you should know we reached out to abc and they told us they had no comment. so, if you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or worried about a friend or loved one, help is available. you can call the national suicide prevention lifeline for free, confidential emotional support. 24/7. call 988. michael. >> all right, juju, thank you.
8:16 am
very intense interview there. >> absolutely. >> you at home you can see much more of juju's interview with constance wu tonight on "nightline." amy. all right, michael, now to thriving in pink. our coverage for breast cancer awareness month and we have good news. a new study from the american cancer society finds there has been a 43% decline in overall deaths from the disease over the past 30 years and our chief medical correspondent dr. jen ashton is here to talk about it. now, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women overall so this headline is great news but there is a lot to unpack when you go inside the headline. >> right, it's kind of good news/bad news. overall, yes, as you said, absolutely good news, but when you look a little deeper at racial and ethnic disparities, they are there and they're there in a big way, in particular, the bad news was for black women. that overall they are dying at a 40% higher rate compared to white women. there are theories as to why this is.
8:17 am
of course, and it's complicated. multifactorial. one of them could be poor quality screening, poor quality treatment or issues with insurance access and, of course, the biology, a higher rate of triple negative breast cancer which we know affects women who are black, so this study really pointed how far we've come but how far we need to go. >> one of the greatest tools we know for a woman fighting breast cancer is detection, early detection. what do the studies say about that? >> right, so it's very important to understand when you talk about screening, when you talk about detection and diagnosis, there is no such thing as one size fits all. you yourself have mentioned so many times that statistic, 80% of women have no family history until they're diagnosed, but for the average risk woman, yes, the recommendation is to start with a mammogram at age 40 and then you have to get into whether or not you have dense breasts, whether or not you have higher
8:18 am
risk factors, and then it's plus/minus ultrasound. plus/minus mri. mammogram is not perfect. it doesn't detect every cancer. but it is the gold standard rght now. >> the best tool we have right now and the study also talks about the emotional tool which is certainly a part of the cancer. >> you can't heal the body without healing the mind and spirit. >> thank you very much. we head over to ginger now. >> the atmosphere was riled up over arizona. dust was pushed out and a classic haboob that takes over. we had 65-mile-per-hour winds within that. now, on top of that you had an ef-1 tornado, winds of 100 miles per hour or even higher, you did have some homes damaged. thankfully it looks like a lot of livestock made it through, stalled. alot of what we've got across the nation has been stalled and for seattle that has meant three days of 75 plus in the month of october, first time they've ever done that so really warm with that ridge. that will eventually here break down. drew: morning clouds giviny

all the businesses i had started and thought -- wow. >> shocking. and i was like, i was busy ever since i was little and i thought, what about if i made a children's book teaching young people about early business concepts. >> very cool. okay, so a lot of reese is in betty but betty is about your mom. >> the original busy person. my mother was a nurse for 40 years and a teacher at the state university and she just was always busy, always had a job and, you know, educating and helping people was part of our lives. >> so what were your businesses growing up? >> okay, well, of course i had lemonade stands, of course i had bake sales and garage sales but i would have circuses, i would have magic shows. and the one i got in trouble for the most was in third grade i started a barrette customizing business out of my desk. [ laughter ] i got in so much trouble, y'all. >> why did you get in trouble for that? >> because i bought paint and i painted everyone's names and
8:32 am
got it all over the desk and got in trouble for defacing school property. >> how much money did you make? >> i cleared a very nice profit. >> she's in school. she's making barrettes. >> it was shut down. but my entrepreneurial spirit lived. >> is there a story like that one from your childhood that your kids love? >> all kinds of stories like that, and i think part of what's really fun about making this book, i wanted to come up with businesses that kids could actually do. so we have a business inside of this book that's about a dog washing service that kids can do in their neighborhoods and i don't know, i've just always been like this, and with my kids too, i'm like if we have a lemonade stand we have to have some fun twist on it, you know, like -- well, i shouldn't say too much because it could give away the plot. but this summer we bought a snow cone machine and it was so fun to teach them concepts of business like how much money do
8:33 am
you have to start with, what should you charge for each thing, you know, what are you going to do with the profits? are you going to split them or are you going to give something away to charity and just early concepts to talk about what does it mean to be a business owner. >> our kids would wash our dogs only if we paid them, that's for sure. >> 100%. now, some of this business translated to your children. i know your son just made his acting debut. congratulations to him in "never have i ever." how busy is he? >> he's very busy doing music, acting, he's just so lit up with creativity and i'm so proud of him. he's having the time of his life, he's 18 years old now so he's out of the house in college. and i miss him. i might have cried a lot when he went to college. i might have. >> so "busy betty" will have a few more adventures i imagine. >> yes, definitely. it's really fun because -- i feel so proud of this character. i feel like it's an inspiration to young people. i was a kid who had endless energy and creativity.
8:34 am
but i had to learn how to focus to get finished with tasks and i also had to learn how to build structure in order to harness my creativity for something successful so i think there's a lot in there for parents who have very spirited children, you know, the kid who gets called by the teacher and they say your kid won't stop talking in class. that was me. >> hey, don't disrupt your kids' creativity. and i got to ask real quick, season three "the morning show." we're addicted to it and talk to it right after it comes out. can you stell us anything. >> shooting in new york this week. and it's been so fun, jon hamm joined the cast this year so it's been really, really new story lines, new plot twists and i would love to hear, do you guys like the show? >> of course, we do. >> i love it. >> addicted. >> yeah. you have no idea the water cooler conversations. >> really? >> yes, they are. >> does it hit home? >> we can give you a few more plot lines.

8:38 am
represent missouri's first congressional district and in her new memoir, "the forerunner," it describes her life. thank you for joining us. welcome to "gma." you got your political start in coming out of the black lives matter movement in ferguson. why was that moment so pivotal? >> first of all, it was a moment we didn't know was coming, you know. there was no playbook that said, hey, if this happens in your community, do this. so i just stepped out on the streets during the protest as a nurse, as clergy, as someone of the community that just wanted to see justice happen, and i never had a desire to run for office, never had a desire. my father's been in politics for most of my life and so i said i would never do it. but it was through that that i saw how policy can help bring transformative change to communities or it can hurt. >> and you stuck by it, in fact, you're one of the few democrats now who still says let's defund the police.
8:39 am
are you worried at all that could hurt some of your colleagues going into the midterm elections? >> so the thing about defund the police is we have to tell the entire narrative. people hear defund the police but you know what they'll say, say reallocate, say divest, say move, but it's still the same thing. we can't get caught up on the words. people spend more time focusing on the word defund than they spend on caring and addressing the problem of police violence in this country. >> in your book, you recount episodes of abuse and assault throughout your life. was it hard to tell that part of the story? >> it was hard because i had to keep going. every time i did an edit i had to keep going back into those moments and i've been in therapy since this happened in 2016 -- since the last one in 2016 and i had to keep sitting back in that moment and reliving it all over again to be able to write this book. i cried a lot. i cried a lot or i wanted to knock over the laptop. it was very, very difficult. >> what do you hope people get from reading that?
8:40 am
>> to know that you can be someone who has a different background than what people think is, you know, deems you appropriate or deems you, you know, qualified. you can come from places of trauma like me, not that you should, you know, but you can come from places of trauma like me and still do amazing things like, you know, people want to throw you away because you have, you know, a background where you've come through pain and struggle, but that's not the case. you know, we rise out of those ashes. >> you're putting that to work in congress. the helping families heal act. what is that? >> yes, helping families heal act. i actually worked on this bill with the mother of mike brown who was killed in ferguson in 2014. worked on it with her because i was out there on the ground, i've worked with her, i worked with other families who have experienced police violence and have been impacted so negatively and wanted to make sure there were mental health resources there for the students, mental health resources there
8:41 am
for the families. allocating $100 million to be able to help those families heal and have those mental health services because there's no government-funded program to help those families and when -- just in 2021 there were only 15 days where the police did not kill someone. that's a lot of people affected that could use mental health services. >> so you ran for congress as a single mom of two kids with a full-time job. >> yes. >> how did you juggle it all? >> it was tough. but, you know, it was one day at a time. you know, you got to speak here, you go there. you figure out how to get dinner. i tell you what i did, though, i oftentimes made dinner on sunday, packed it up, had it ready for the full week. my kids could just pull it out and heat it up but it was very, very tough but the mission was greater than what i had to go through to be able to get there. >> thank you for coming in this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> "the forerunner" available now. let's go to ginger. so much of our attention has been on southwest coastal florida but central florida, remember, some places reporting
8:42 am
more than two feet of rain as we anticipated with that storm and yu've got major river flooding happening in so many parts of the state. some of those blinking red areas are where we see major flooding. it should stay the same for a couple of days, doesn't look like it will go up any more, but it will take a couple days in some of those places to get it out. have to also hit on that coastal low. we have not been able to tell you as much, of course, you get the coastal flooding today for new jersey, philadelphia is in it because the delaware river, the way it works there could push water up into it. rainy, blustery but then we kick drew: morning clouds giving way to afternoon sunshine. 60's and 70's around the bay shoreline, 80's away from the coast. wawa and it's time now to reveal our "gma" book club pick for
8:43 am
october. juju is back with the details and, juju, this is a book that a lot of people you say are going to be talking about. >> absolutely, because it's a page turner. you know, every single one of us has a past, right, maybe baggage, some things we're proud of, maybe things we do differently but this book is asked the question, how much of our past do we have to share? and are there parts that we can always keep to ourselves? well, helping us reveal this month's pick are our friends literally from the little free library. let's see what it is. da, da, da.
