>> reporter: but the white house insists that the details of any deal should be left up to the parties. a week and a half into this strike, those talks are inching closer as the uaw fights for a 40% wage increase and better benefits. democrats are increasingly competing for union votes against republicans like donald trump who will address a crowd wednesday. out on the picket lines, workers are holding strong. >> we're looking forward to getting something fair negotiated. >> reporter: but for some, like mack hall and his sons steven and chris, two generations of autoworkers on strike together, this fight is about something bigger than politics as usual. >> biden and trump should stay home. i think we have enough millionaires and billionaires trying to determine what we get. you don't understand. >> reporter: mack hall and his sons also tell us they are grateful for any support. but their point is, this isn't political. for the workers, it's not about politic.

it's not about politics. it is about getting a fairer balance between workers and management at hugely profitable companies, and not just in the auto industry. michael? >> you're right about that, terry. it's not political. it's all about their livelihoods. we're going to turn to the tentative deal to end the bitter writers strike that put hollywood on hold for months. kayna whitworth is in los angeles with the latest. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: good morning. so today union leadership will be voting on this deal. if it's approved, it will then go to the more than 11,000 members of the guild. many can return to work at least in some capacity during this remediation process. if this deal is fully approved, some of the first shows taken off the air will be among the first to return, including the late night talk shows. terms of the deal are supposed to be released later today. the reported agreement includes increases in royalty payment for streaming content and guarantees

that artificial intelligence will not encroach on writers' credit and compensation. i'm told the guild made huge gains in the residuals area, and that they added a bonus structure tied to subscribers of the individual streaming services. when i asked about the studio terms regarding ai, i have told by a source, michael, that it was a primary ask and again they made extraordinary gains there. >> negotiations for the 65,000 film and tv actors on strike, that resumes this week as well. >> reporter: yeah, michael. i'm told sag afra can use these negotiations as a blue print of their own. i spoke with the chief editor at "variety." he said initially the actors in the studios weren't as far apart as the writers were, meaning hollywood could be back up and running in some six to eight week. but, michael, overnight a potential wrinkle in this. the union now voting to authorize a strike against video game companies citing some of those same concerns specifically

averted? >> i'm doing everything i can to make sure it doesn't. >> reporter: half of the workers are in the military. families like andy in jacksonville, florida. the coast guard veteran and her active duty husband left scrambling. >> it's infuriating that this can't be resolved in a way in which the military families aren't held hostage. it's frustrating. it's very frustrating. >> reporter: and while government employees could get back pay, contractors would not including cafeteria staffers like willie joe price. do you worry that you won't be able to pay your bills by the end of the month if congress doesn't act? >> oh, yeah. yes. i worry about that. a whole lot. i'm trying not to cry. i'm trying not to cry. >> reporter: price has worked at the library of congress cafeteria for decades, faced with yet another shutdown.

>> i have been here for 42 years. i have been there. willie joe price said there's so many workers like her that are living pay check to pay check. the only clear path forward is to pass a short term spending bill but those far right conservatives in this house say they will not go for that. those concern conservatives are threatening mccarthy if he works with democrats they'll try to oust him as speaker. >> the concerns of willie joe price palpable. thank you for that. >> now to senator bob menendez, defiant as he faces federal corruption charges now for the second time. menendez is refusing to step down, even as members of his own party said he should. pierre thomas joins us live from washington with the latest. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, linsey. federal prosecutors believe the case is gripping and koppeling,

but the senator who faced indictment on corruption charges before and successfully defended himself, is pushing back despite growing calls for him to resign. this morning senator bob menendez fighting for his political life, facing a multicount indictment, accusing him of brazen corruption. >> as i have stated throughout this whole process, i firmly believe that when all the facts are presented, not only will i be exonerated, but i still will be new jersey senior senator. >> reporter: in a dramatic monday press conference, he said he's innocent and urged the public not to jump to conclusions about those damaging images of wads of cash stuffed in a jacket embroidered with his name, gold bars and a new mercedes. >> for 30 years i have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account which i have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in cuba. >> reporter: the senator did not address how he got that new car and why he suddenly had gold

bars after a trip to egypt. menendez, chairman of the foreign relations committee before he was indicted and forced to step down, is charged with selling state secrets to the egyptian government. >> he made sensitive, nonpublic u.s. government information to egyptian officials and otherwise took steps to secretly aid the government of egypt. >> reporter: the senator whose wife was charged as well is also accused of taking bribes to help two new jersey by men fend off criminal even democrats openly criticizing him. some calling on him to leave the senate. >> the situation is quite unfortunate, but i do believe it is in the best interest for senator menendez to resign in this moment. >> reporter: political forecast is challenging. new jersey democratic governor, members of congress from his own state and three senate colleagues now calling for menendez to step down. he said he's not going anywhere.

michael? >> definitely a lot of pressure on him there. thank you for that. going to turn to the baton rouge police department under federal investigation over abuse allegations. some officers are accused of humiliating and even beating detainees at a warehouse. several lawsuits have been filed. senior national correspondent steve osunsami has details. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. some of the people held and who were allegedly abused in this warehouse weren't even charged with anything in the moments leading up to the point where they were detained. the fbi is now investigating whether police abused their power. federal investigators are asking anyone in baton rouge who has ever been held by local police and brought to this large white warehouse to call them. officers from a street unit this morning are accused in a federal lawsuit of sweeping police brutality and are seen in these body cam videos plaintiffs say were recorded before and during

their interrogation. authorities were forced to close the facility nick named the brave cave last month after reports of police abuse including a complaint from a 47-year-old woman who said she was sexually humiliated for over two hours in this same room in june and then let go. >> what happened there is unconscionable. she was then strip searched. there was also a visual body cavity search performed upon her. >> reporter: in a federal lawsuit, lawyers for 22-year-old jeremy lee say after this video was recorded the police officers turned off their body cameras then beat him so badly that the local jail refused to admit him until he was treated by a nearby hospital. there he was treated for broken bones and other injuries. >> you didn't read me my rights. >> i didn't have to. >> it doesn't look like anything you would associate with normal policing process. i mean, it looks like something

out of a mob film. >> reporter: police brass have shut down the street crime unit and the officers have been moved to different beats. this same officer who resigned has been accused in a number of other cases where police say he showed excessive force. baton rouge police are calling these cases troubling and say they are working with the fbi and expect more people to come forward. >> okay, steve, thank you very much. we're going to turn to new numbers on how long covid affects millions of americans. data shows last year almost 7% of adults had almost 3 months of long covid symptoms after being infected by the virus. erielle reshef is here with story. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning, george. long covid is a catch all term for those who are experiencing long term symptoms. this can lead to long term health and economic impacts for those affected and on society.

long covid affected 6.9% of adults in the u.s. women more frequently than men. people outside metro areas were more apt to experience long covid. 1.3% of children have ever been affected. but among kids, data shows 12-17-year-olds were most likely to be affected by long covid symptoms. hispanic children have been most affected. as for what kind of help there is now that covid is no longer considered a public health emergency, long covid could qualify as a disability and possibly for social security disability payments. you have to document your symptoms and speak with your health care provider before applying. michael? >> thank you very much, erielle. we turn to the governor of louisiana asking for federal emergency declaration due to a salt water intrusion into the mississippi river. andrew dinmer has more on the situation and how it could impact the drinking water supply. good morning, andrew. >> reporter: good morning, michael. new orleans is facing a potential water crisis. the concern is salt water from

the gulf of mexico could reach water treatment plants near new orleans disturbing the entire water supply in this region. this all stems from drought conditions which have been affecting the bayou since june, according to officials. now the fear is the mississippi river volume will fall to historic lows in the next several weeks leading to intrusion of salt water from the gulf flowing upstream in louisiana. now this flow is expected to impact the drinking water supply for residents and businesses. as a result, the governor is asking the white house for help, requesting president biden declare it a federal emergency. the u.s. army corps of engineers did construct an under water barrier in july to delay this salt water intrusion but a few days ago salt water began to move past it. work will will resume in hopes of slowing down this ingress of salt water. linsey? >> andrew, thank you. now to "monday night football." demarco morgan is here with all the highlights. demarco, another kelce/swift

sighting. >> of course. that's why we love "monday night football." you never know what or who you'll see. the star last night, the running back for the eagles who rushed 130 yards. eagles boasted about their favorite swift/kelce duo. deandre swift and jason kelce, travis' brother. jalen hurts led the charge in their victory over baker mayfield and the bucs. philly, the defending nfc champions are now 3-0 one of three remaining undefeated teams. now back to the other swift sighting, fanatics telling abc news they have seen nearly 400% uptick in sales of travis kelce's merchandise after taylor attended the chiefs game. landing kelce a spot as one of the top five selling players this year. look, if i'm hanging out with you and you make my stock go up, you increase my wallet, it's all good. >> that's why we saw him in the end zone doing a big dance. >> sitting with mom, almost like a done deal. >> all right. thanks.

quite a difference. >> reporter: the downpours have turned his gourds ghoulish, only getting 50% of crop. >> we went out probably a month ago. we couldn't hardly find any pumpkins. >> reporter: now he's turning to other farmers for help, supplementing his supply. experts say despite the fright, it's not dire everywhere, especially in illinois, the largest pumpkin producing state in the country. >> we were really concerned early on in the season with the summer, with the drought followed by a lot of rain. but we really are happy to announce overall this is going to be a really pretty good pumpkin season. >> reporter: happy day farms in new jersey, despite a short drought that sent their crops back three weeks, they say their pumpkins are perfect for picking. >> we have an excellent crop. we were worried in the beginning of the season but now the pumpkins are up to size, nice color, firmness, strong shell. everything that we're looking for. >> reporter: farmers say you want to buy your pumpkins the first two weeks of october.

you want them bright and orange. that means they're ripe and hard. they're going to last a lot longer. and they say if you wipe it down with peroxide, it will keep all that rot away, fruit rot, any other kind of disease. and so that means you can keep your pumpkin all the way through thanksgiving. michael? >> james, one hard hitting question. probably the hardest hitting question you have been asked. how does it affect the pie? >> reporter: that is the hardest question i have ever been asked, michael. very important to me. it won't. that's the good news. these pumpkins, yes, it's been a bit of a rough season but they still taste good. lots of sugar. you'll have a good pie, i promise. >> great to hear. you got to get back in the studio. can't wait to see you again, my friend. coming up, how some parents are using smart devices to keep track of their young kid. next lara is here for the play of the day. >> just flew into the studio trying to channel the star of our play of the day. you'll see when we come back. k.

by giving it attention and a name, we can learn to live with enough. why do we always seem to be craving more? it's a question michael easter asks in his new book scarcity brain. >> we have an abundance of all these things that we are designed to crave, and we have no rails on these things. everyone knows everything is fine in moderation. why can't we moderate? >> reporter: it may not entirely be your fault. easter lays out the case that today people living an easy life, all things considered, are still wired to behave like our ancient ancestors. >> the thing i uncovered is this idea of the scarcity loop. this is a three-part behavior le loop that evolved naturally to help us find food in the past. it's now being engineered and kr co-opted by different industries. it's got opportunity, unpredictable rewards and repeatability. >> reporter: to see the loop in action, easter said to think about a slot machine. there's an opportunity to win money. an unpredictable reward.

how much? and the chance to play the game repeatedly. >> it's what makes social media work. it's in dating apps. it's even in the food system. in the past, food was scarce and hard to fine. made sense to overeat if you had the opportunity. that was a life saving thing. in our modern environment, it doesn't make as much sense. >> reporter: easter traveled around the world to see how people deal, including deep in the amazon where he spent time with a tribe. >> what killed modern people is heart disease. this tribe in the amazon, they don't get heart disease. all tracks back to what they eat. >> reporter: one 2017 study showed this tribe had the lowest cases of heartdy see reported to date. you adopted their diet for a time. >> i did. all just single ingredient food. eggs in the morning. i would have maybe a sweet potato and fish for lunch with vegetables. for dinner i would have rice and meat. with some vegetables. little boring but i definitely started losing weight.

what seems to be powerful of foods with one ingredient, they're more nutrient dense and we eat less of them compared to junk food. >> reporter: it may be difficult physically or financially to eat like the tribe all the time but easter said a conscious effort can help people get out of the loop. >> if you want to improve your life and get out of bad habit, you're going to have to do work. but the reward on the end of that i think is very well worth it. >> reporter: easter said this is not prescriptive. it is not a self-help book. it's more a self-awareness book, becoming conscious about the choices that confront us every day and making decisions that serve us better in the long run. michael and linsey? >> all right. thank you so much for that, will. you know this morning we are swimming with the sharks this week. they're gonna take a bite out of your financial woes. days before season 15 of "shark tank" premieres barbara corcoran and daymond john is here to answer your questions.

>> well, there are businesses all around. there are a couple fundamentals. the only way to operate a business, increase sales or reduce cost. only way to deal with customers are acquire new ones, upsell current one or make one buy more frequency. in a recession, you aren't going to acquire new customers so you have to super size everyone's fries unless what you're selling is something that sells in a recession that's probably not your core business. >> super size your prize. >> i like that. i like that. next video question from nicole who is from san diego. she's owner of sash bag. it's about working from home. >> i have employees that can work from home. i feel like we're missing out on something not working together in person. how do i manage my expectations while keeping everyone collaborative and happy at work? >> good question. >> yeah. >> you really ought to tkruft your gut. there's no way to build a powerful team unless you get people together.

you need to find a way. every great entrepreneur finds an excuse to get people together. i get people to read on retreat every quarter an i have done that since the first day i started my job. what you should do is invite people in for a company wide retreat and say it's all for brainstorming. it doesn't have to be expensive, but get them together and make sure they drink a lot and have fun.

probably still doing jazzersize or the thigh buster. right? [ laughter ] you got to grow with it. [ laughter ] >> good analogy. >> shape weight. all kinds of stuff going on there. before we go, barbara, you posted a lovely message about your fellow sharks. let's take a look at what you said to say about daymond. you said daymond is the family favorite. his genuine desire to uplift others is inspiring. he's not just a shark, he's a mentor to friends and entrepreneurs who walk through theodore. plus he has the best dance moves. >> ah. >> thank you. >> so we found a video. we went back. daymond, what do you think about that statement? >> i think that's true. i think three of my co-stars were on "dancing with the stars" and i would smoke them at any given time if i was on there. >> hey, he's got the moves. >> do you know what you just did? you true that out. you're going to be asked to do "dancing with the stars." >> absolutely not.
