what, make sure you come to the airport early if you're trying to do because i can tell you, the lines are long. >> thank you, gio. this is expected to be the busiest day to drive and we'll has the best and worst times to head out. hey, we'll pay with >> will: there's going to be more than 37 million americans on the roa. that is a 6% jump from this point last year. today is going to be the busiest day. if you're heading out, you want to get out in the morning. you know you're normal rush out, at 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. that can drive you crazy if you are in your cart gimmick that's going to be downright maddening throughout the holiday weekend. take a look at our kap helicopter camera. that is over i five in east los angeles rider. i was stuck in the traffic yesterday. it can be bumper-to-bumper on a normal party talking about memorial day weekend. that is going to be pretty bad. people need to get out early. there is a good news for those drivers.

gas prices are lower than they were at this point last year and also if you look comparable to pre-pandemic numbers, there is half a million fewer americans on the road at this point and there were before the pandemic if you can remember back that far. add it all up and the experts say that you could run into some travel nightmares. make sure that you are thinking about everything that you are going to be doing over the next three days and this is the best thing that you can do at this point is pack your patience. michael. >> thank you. now, sam is here with the holiday weekend forecast. if you are going to travel, stay home, what is it looking like a wreck because i think weather is key to holiday enjoyment but i think it is a big deal anyway. we are going to show you what's happening. we had a big storm problem in broward and dad county. the winds did rip a truck over. now a few little spin because

there's lots of spin in the air in the south-east. this dust devil on the south carolina beaches but at least you had a busy day today. carolina's, you are our trouble spot. because of this coastal low. you'll get a little bit of break in the action published by the time we get into sunday and monday because the storm positions of the coastline will do a little bit better. when we come back, we are going to talk about the trouble spots out there, the make great that is on the west coast and also the swimming trouble spot because of that coastal look. real issue. >> thank you so much. we'll talk in just a bit peeved at the showdown over the debt ceiling. there are reports of some progressive and as many lawmakers are heading home on the holiday recess but still no deal yet rachel scott joining us now with the latest from the white house. good morning. >> rachel: good morning to you and the deadline is quickly approaching but republican negotiators say progress around the final remaining neat details remains slow. both sites ready to continue negotiating in hopes of finally closing the deal. this one, the white house is

missing to make a deal with house republicans to avert a catastrophic default. >> president biden: made clear time and again defaulting on our national debt is not an option. >> rachel: with just six days to go, time is running out. members leaving town for business as negotiators prepared to work through the holiday weekend. >> still some outstanding negotiations. have directed our teams to solve this problem. >> rachel: republicans are demanding deeper spending cuts in exchange for lifting the debt limit including limiting spending for federal aid programs like food stamps which is turning out to be a major sticking point. for democrats, that's a nonstarter. because i'm not supporting that. >> rachel: conservative republicans are calling on mccarthy to not back away from the g.o.p. demands. what is your method to speaker mccarthy on the ski mexico hold the line. we should hold firm and actually lead the country. >> rachel: though the deal has not been finalized, sources say

one of the proposals they are eyeing could increase the borrowing limit for two years, increase defense and veterans spending and likely grow back and spent covid commitments. republicans are still fighting for deeper cuts. if congress does not act, the consequences could be dire putting millions of jobs at risk, but if veterans would come tto a halt. >> you want to talk about cutting the budget, i fully understand and agree with that, but that is a separate issue. pay your bills. i did my part. it's time that the government does their part. >> rachel: the president is scheduled to leave the camp cab to bed tonight. members of congress have already left washington for business but we are told they need to be prepared to return back here once an agreement is reached. >> rachel scott on capitol hill. thank you as always. the deadlock in washington is being fought on the wa way to wall street and elizabeth schulze is there with the latest in what it means for your finances and how you can protect your money. good morning to you. >> elizabeth: good morning.

the closer we get to the tune first deadline without a deal, the bigger threat to the stock market and the broader economy. the doubted edged down a little bit congested, closed lower for the fifth day in a row. traders tell me they are still optimistic there will be a last-minute deal to allow the government to keep paying its bills. here are the most immediate risk to the economy and your wallet right now. stitch wants that it might damage the u.s. credit rating. that could force the government to pay higher rates to borrow money, than overall borrowing costs could go up, for example for a new market for your credit card. if the government runs out of cash, it might pass payments for federal workers and it might have to delay checks due in early june for social security, medicare or veterans benefits. analysts say that ultimately those payments will be made even a short delay could affect millions of americans if you are worried about a delay checks, now is a good time to look at your own budget and prioritize your own bills due at the start of the month.

pattern but usually it's just random bad luck. >> victor: authorities say they are actively investigating the incident, looking at the circumstances surrounding the attack. because thank you. random bad luck. that's some bad luck indeed. >> chilling bad luck, absolutely. we're going to turn to the nba play-offs and the boston celtics down but not out, staying alive, forcing a game six. for a monopoly over the heat last night. will reeve is here with all of that and more. boston is close to making nba history. >> will: things are getting interesting. no team in nba history has come back from 0-3 down in a series. only 13 teams have come back from down 3-1, but plenty of teams have come back from 3-2, including these boston celtics. they just did it last round against philadelphia and that's where we find the eastern conference finals now. boston blowing up the miami heat in boston.

what is this cowboy lassos a state named lester to safety. it had been on the run for weeks. police saying that question was "not charged" and is back to the pasture with a story to tell. >> moving on. [laughter] we've got a lot more head this morning, including this amazing story. it is a man who stopped a bank robbery with a hug. i'm not joking. it's an amazing story and he's going to tell us his story coming. >> can wait to see that. we are going to turn to a new report on the notorious navy seal selection course that has led to numerous injuries, hospital admissions and the tragic death of recruit kyle mullen last year. to be news achieve global affairs correspondent martha raddatz joins us from washington with the latest. >> martha: the navy seals are seen as one of the most elite military units, but this lengthy

report makes clear that the selection process to become a seal had become far too risky with a near perfect storm of institutional failures. it is a devastating report, highly critical of navy seal training, the review found that in recent years, the selection process had grown to unacceptable levels with little medical oversight, poor leadership, and overzealous and an experienced instructors focused on weeding out candidates, hunting the back of the pack rather than trying to foster teamwork. one commander blaming this generation of seal candidates for having less mental toughness. the review followed the death of candidate kyle mullen in february of 2022. the former yale football captain collapsed and died just hours after successfully completing so-called hell week.

his medical check after the course showed his lungs were deemed abnormal and his legs so swollen he was sent to the barracks in a wheelchair. once at the barracks while struggling to breathe, there were no medical personnel available on site, and one fellow candidates finally found a duty officer, the report says the provider insisted wasn't needed. >> from our perspective, many people were involved, many people try to cover up, committed wrongdoings and accountability has not come. we've been waiting for a year and have almost at this point since my brother passed and no one has gotten in trouble. even the navy has made changes to the course already and multiple navy personnel maybe subject to accountability but ts in the report is long and detailed to include improved screening, training, and evaluation of instructors, broader testing for performance-enhancing drugs and more safety and medical training to help support candidates who

might be at medical risk. >> we want to make sure people are getting adequate care and not being left to die on the ground. we just need medical to look at these guys. it's utterly pathetic that they weren't being taken care of. >> martha: the head of navy special warfare command released a statement saying his command will enact or recommendations to make training safer to honor the legacy of kyle mullen. you definitely hope that they will do that. thank you. we are going to turn now to the terrifying scare in the air when a man actually opened a plane door midflight. first passengers had to be rushed to the hospital after learning and gio is back with the latest this morning. good morning to you. >> gio: good morning again. this was an asiana plane with over 100 people on board. police there in south korea say a 33 year old passenger open the emergency exit door about

850 feet above ground right after the pilot made that built-in announcement that the plane was about to land. the passenger we are told was traveling alone. police have not said why he did it but did say there were no signs he'd been drinking. once the plane landed safely, 12 people were taken to the hospital for respiratory issues. the passenger was arrested, of course, and if convicted, he could face up to ten years in prison. unbelievable. thank you so much for that update. >> not a rip current warnings are so many people had to the beaches this memorial day weekend. chief national correspondent matt gutman joins us with one family's close call and how to keep your family safe. matt, good morning. >> matt: rip currents trigger more water rescues than any other shoreline has done the best way to survive one is with the knowledge that a rip current might pull you out but it's not going to put you under. we mention the smith family just now. they got lucky. a couple of servers helped

rescue their children. >> just happened so fast. i remember looking at brandon and saying they are up too far. i remember both of us trying to wave to them and call them and they would >> matt: brandon and jessica smith watched as the people most dear to them were swept out to sea. three children, a grandmother, a friend. it was a rip current. brandon, an avid surfer, said he rushed in to speak at the waves were definitely 6-foot plus waves. they were beating down. at some point in there, i realized that i can save all five. >> matt: thankfully, jessica's is back on sure she was able to flag down to other surface to help. because it's still hard, you will play every decision that we made, wondering if we could have done something different. >> matt: with warnings starting up the east coast, officials on high alert. >> we've already this past week in, we rescued about 160 people out of the water. >> matt: a father of a young

son pulled from the water of florida's anna maria island. after being pushed far from assured by a rip current period so how do you spot one comment from an elevated position on the beach, experts advise looking for this. dark, flat areas by the waves aren't breaking. in 2022, i parted with the huntington beach fire department for demonstration of what to do if you are caught in the grip of a rip. one of the most common mistake is trying to swim right back to shore by swimming against the current. because the thing with a rip current is its moving as fast as an olympic swimmer so unless you are michael phelps, u are probably not going to beat it. you start to exhaust yourself and that's when it's harder to stay above water. >> matt: instead, experts say the first thing to do is flip and flute. this will help you keep company with >> take a breath. this is one you have the time

and capacity to start taking about your next move. pity the next move, swimming parallel to short following the direction of the coastline until you feel that doesn't stop pulling. then swimming at an angle back to shore. if you just can't get out, you are caught in a rotating comment like this one. in that case, just flip, float and signal for help. if you do see a swimmer in distress, don't go in right after them. first, are not a lifeguard. so often, it's the rescuers themselves become the victims. if you're alone out here, we have to try to bring a flotation device. a boogie board, a kick about, even a cooler might just save your life. the critical tips there. matt gutman for us. let's get to sam champion because you've got a look at whether a rip current warnings are happening. >> sam: there are particular areas where there are most likely to be reps. some bass just set up a rip situation almost everyday or every other day. knowing your beach is important.

i always say when you go to impeach you don't know, go to the lifeguard, treat him like your concierge, ask them for a good place. say hello so they are watching you and your family and show them or ask them why you should be swimming and where it's good for you and your family to swim. willie is a useful resource and they are there and they are great people and their highly trained. we do have a problem with this coastal low. as it backs in a little bit. there maybe some beach time that you want to get out in the caroline's but the water going to be chopped. the hurricane center is watching. we don't think there's too much development. it's not just the carolinas. iif in a neck, quiet beach on te jersey shore of long island, be careful. because i get so much for that. very good news to have. next, the man who ended a bank robbery with a hug. going to share a story. we'll be right back when it comes to your hair, ingredients matter. that's why herbal essences is packed with naturally derived plant ingredients you love, and none of the stuff you don't.
