our political team breaks it all down this morning. >> michael: breaking news. fast moving wild fires in california exploding overnight. thousands forced to flee their homes. the race to contain the flames. we're on the front lines. >> robin: hurricane francine strengthens overnight, now just hours from landfall. we are live on the gulf coast. ginger has the track and timing. >> michael: the investigation after two delta planes collide on the tarmac. the collision caught on cctv. >> we just hit something on the taxiway. >> michael: knocking the tail off one of the planes. >> robin: grocery price wars. amazon takes aim at its rivals. could its new low cost line save you money? ♪ and overnight, taylor swift makes her presidential endorsement following the debate, with over 280 million instagram followers. >> announcer: live in times

square, this is "good morning america." >> robin: we do say good morning america. americans have less than two months to make their final decision. let's get to last night's high stakes debate. >> michael: with just 55 days to the final vote, kamala harris faced off against donald trump. it was the first time the two have ever met in person. the night began with the vice president walking across the stage to shake the former president's hand. >> george: clearly signaling she wanted to take command, kicking off 90 minutes of confrontation. former president trump on defense for most of the night and the first polls say voters think harris won. our team is live in philadelphia. mary bruce starts us off. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. this was a fierce and fiery face-off. donald trump on defensive for much of the night. kamala harris taking every chance she could to get under his skin, goading trump to go off message, while avoiding much focus on her own

vulnerabilities. policy often overshadowed by personal attacks. the big question remains, will any of this be enough to fundamentally change the dynamics of this race? it started with what appeared to be a moment of civility, a historic handshake initiated by the vice president. the rivals meeting for the very first time. >> kamala harris. let's have a good debate. >> nice to see you. >> thank you. >> reporter: the niceties didn't last. the nominees quickly digging into each other beginning with the issue top of mine for many voters. the economy? >> donald trump has actually no plan for you because he is more interested in defending himself than he is in looking out for you. >> she doesn't have a plan. she copied biden's plan and it's like four sentences. like run spot run. four sentences that are just, oh, we'll try to lower taxes. >> reporter: the vice president repeatedly goading donald trump, trying to get under his skin. >> what you will also notice is people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.

>> reporter: the former president taking the bait. >> she said people started leaving. people don't go to her rallies. there's no reason to go. >> reporter: but trump throwing the heat right back at her. >> wait a minute. i'm talking now, if you don't mind. please. does that sound familiar? she went out -- >> reporter: one of the most contentious exchanges of the night on abortion. harris trying to capitalize on democrats' advantage on the issue. >> one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and donald trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. i have talked with women around our country. you want to talk about this is what people wanted? women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage, being denied care in an emergency room because their health care providers are afraid they might go to jail and she's bleeding out in a car in a parking lot? she didn't want that. >> reporter: but also dodged

when she was asked if she would support any restriction while trump reported false claims prompting a fact check from moderator lindsey davis. >> there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born. >> reporter: he refused to rule out signing a national abortion ban. on immigration, trump trying to pin previous chaos at the border on harris. >> they're destroying the fabric of our country by what they've done. >> reporter: harris laying into trump for urging republicans to kill the bipartisan border deal. >> what we have in the former president is someone who would prefer to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. he's gonna talk about immigration even when it's not a subject being raised. >> reporter: trump responding by repeating a false conspiracy theory about migrants eating people's pets in spring field, ohio. >> i just want to clarify here. you bring up springfield, ohio. abc did reach out to the city manager there. he told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused. >> i have seen people on television say my dog was taken

and used for food. maybe he said that. maybe that's a good thing to say for a city manager. >> i'm taking it from the city manager. >> someone said their dog was eaten by the people that went there. >> again, springfield city manager said there's no evidence of that. vice president harris, i'll let you respond to the rest of what i heard. >> talk about extreme. >> reporter: the candidates also sparring on foreign policy. >> it is absolutely well known that these dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again because they're so clear. they can manipulate you with flattery and favors. >> the leaders of other countries think that they're weak and incompetent, and they are. they're grossly incompetent. >> reporter: getting personal. trump asked about his statements questioning harris' racial identity. >> i don't know. all i can say i read where she was not black, that she put out. and i'll say that.

and then i read that she was black and that's okay. either one was okay with me. that's up to her. that's up to her. >> i mean, honestly, it's a tragedy that we have someone who wants to be president who has consistently over the course of his career attempted to use race to divide the american people. >> reporter: less than two months until the election, trump still refusing to concede he lost the last one. >> you have said, quote, you lost by a whisker that you, quote, didn't quite make it, that you came up a little short. >> i said that? >> are you now acknowledging you lost in 2020? >> no, i don't acknowledge that. i say that sarcastically. oh, we lost by a whisker. there's so much proof. all you have to do is look at it. they should have sent it back to legislatures for approval. >> reporter: reality, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud and president biden won the 2020 contest. harris using the moment to call trump unqualified.

>> donald trump was fired by 81 million people. so let's be clear about that. and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that. but we cannot afford to have a president of the united states who attempts, as he did in the past, to up end the will of the voters in a free and fair election. when you then talk in this way, in a presidential debate and deny what over and over again are court cases you have lost because you did, in fact, lose that election. it leads one to believe that perhaps we do not have in the candidate to my right the temperment or the ability to not be confused about fact. that's deeply troubling. and the american people deserve better. >> reporter: in their closing statements, harris vowing to help take the country forward. >> i intend to be a president for all americans.

and focus on what we can do over the next 10 and 20 years to build back up our country by investing right now in you, the american people. >> reporter: while trump finally honed in on his message, questioning why harris hasn't accomplished her plans during her time as vice president. >> they've had 3 1/2 years to create jobs and all the things we talked about. why hasn't she done it? >> reporter: now, the harris team this morning is thrilled with her performance. so much so that they are already challenge trump to another debate. but it remains to be seen if what we saw last night will be enough to move the needle. one voter who was swayed by what they saw, taylor swift, posting to her 283 million instagram followers that she has seen enough and done enough research to make up her mind, endorsing kamala harris. robin? >> robin: thanks to you. now rachel scott with more on what is going on at the trump campaign. good morning. >> reporter: good morning,

robin. there were many questions about what version of donald trump was going to show up on that debate stage last night. i will tell you this is not the version of the former president that many of his close allies wanted to see. in fact, some of the people that are closest to the former president, including republican senator lindsey graham called this a missed opportunity for trump to lay it all out there, draw the contest to harris he has an issue on. the economy, immigration. they wanted to hear what he said in that closing statement a lot earlier in the debate. heading into this debate, we knew harris was going to try to get under donald trump's skin. she definitely did. his volume only getting louder and louder as the debate progressed. the former president made that unexpected prize appearance inside the spin room. traditionally something we don't see from candidates unless they feel they didn't get their message across on that debate stage. he was asked directly about that challenge from harris for a second debate. he would not commit. he was asked just a few moments

ago about that challenge from harris for a second debate and he would not commit again. it's perhaps the most telling sign of how the former president really maybe felt about how he did on that debate stage last night. remember when president biden was in this race, he said he would debate any time, anywhere, anyplace. >> michael: looks lie everything has changed for him. thank you. our political director and washington bureau rick klein is tracking the polling. the candidates tried to play to their strengths last night. >> reporter: good morning, michael. we talked going into the debate about how much more harris had to do to define herself. you saw both candidates trying to let voters knew where they stood on some of the voters. both think they are strong. the biggest example of the night, as we discussed trump kept going back to immigration and the southern border. and here's a big reason why. it is one of the strongest issues he has. he is seen as more trustworthy among voters by a nine point margin. 45% of americans trust him more than kamala harris on the issue of the border.

that's why he went to it over and over again. on the other side you saw harris with some stronger moments talking about abortion rights in very emotional and visceral terms. this is an indication why, of all the issues we've polled on, we see a much stronger edge for harris overtrump on this, more than anything else. 47%. almost half the country say she's more trustworthy on abortion rights. that plays directly into the gender gap. it is a big one. women are 13 points more likely to be supporting kamala harris than donald trump. so again, this is playing to her strength. right now this debate sets up these next two months. it's not just appealing to voters who might be on the fence about who to vote for, but whether to vote at all. that's why you saw the candidates playing to their strengths. george? >> george: thanks. let's bring in jon karl, martha raddatz. welcome to you both. jon, let me begin with you. one way to think about what was going on is kamala harris was engaged in a kind of

psychological warfare. >> reporter: yeah. it began right from the moment the debate started. even before it started when they walked onto the stage and kamala harris walked over to donald trump going to his side of the stage for a handshake that donald trump did not expect and seemed like he didn't want. he started out the debate relatively calm, at least for a couple of minutes. as the debate wore on, he became increasingly rattled and angry, yelling a lot of his answers as kamala harris tried to provoke him, tried to get inside his head. hitting some key touch points. ridiculing his crowd size, talking about how he is saying he's mocked by people around the world. talking about the long litany of former senior trump officials, people that donald trump hired who now say he is unfit for office. and trump clearly was upset. he took the bait over and over again. was unable to really take the argument to kamala harris. now, this morning, george, donald trump is saying this is

his best debate ever, his greatest debate ever. but there are several indications that not even donald trump thinks that is remotely true. the first is the way he walked out before all those reporters in the spin room last night. and this morning he actually refused to even commit to a debate on fox news. he doesn't seem to want to get on the stage again with kamala harris. >> george: okay. martha, there was a fair amount of attention on foreign policy. trade with china, gaza war, the war in ukraine. harris's mantra, donald trump has been weak and wrong. >> reporter: exactly. donald trump fired back, of course, saying that the war in ukraine would not have happened. vladamir putin would not have gone in if he were president. he says the same thing about israel. offered absolutely no evidence. in fact, at one point david muir saying directly to him, do you want ukraine to win this war? seems like a pretty simple question, george.

but he never answered that question. he also claimed that millions had died, that fake numbers were coming out of ukraine. kamala harris basically just looked at him and smiled. she was asked directly, course, about afghanistan and whether she takes any responsibility for that disastrous pullout. she did not answer that directly. she threw that back at donald trump and talked about the fact that he was the one who wanted to pull out of afghanistan and had a specific date to do that, george. >> george: martha, jon, thank you very much. next half hour we'll talk to donna brazile and chris christie. robin? >> robin: now hurricane francine. gaining strength overnight, hours from making landfall along the gulf coast. ginger is tracking the storm, but first let's go to matt rivers who is in louisiana. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the outer bands of this storm just moving into our area. with a storm like this, the

primary concern, of course, people are thinking about the wind, but it's the flooding. down here at the bayou, the water level already higher than it should be. it's only going to get worse from here. the forecast calls from 5 to 10 inches of rain. flash flooding is a massive concern. we know during hurricanes the majority of injuries and deaths tend to come from the water and not from the wind. however, all that said, this is louisiana. people in this part of the world are used to horrific storms. they are preparing in a very proactive way. if there's one overriding concern, it's about the power. if and when the power goes out, it tends to stay out for awhile, michael. it's happened before. people are worried it can happen again. >> michael: we hope that's not the case. thank you very much for that. we're going to turn to ginger with the track and timing for francine. good morning, ginger. >> ginger: good morning. we've got this category 1 coming at the louisiana coast. landfall should be tonight. we time it out there, you can see it slowly makes its way up

>> it was incredibly typical performance on his part when he's unprepared. i ran debate prep in 2016 and 2020. it was always a wrestling match, george, to try to get him to focus. to try to get him to stay disciplined. it really was like a boxing match between us in prep. it's clear he didn't have anybody who would smack him around during prep this time 'cause he went out there and just did whatever the heck he wanted. straight from his instinct and his gut which is to be angry and a grievance candidate. the amazing thing was for me is that it's clear vice president harris spent a lot of time preparing. and she very deptly put in bait. every time she threw the bait out, he chased it. he chased every rabbit down every hole, whether it was about rally, people eating pets in neighborhoods, all these different crazy stories. look, people -- her goal last night for the people that she was talking to was to look like

she belongs there. she is a lesser known candidate than donald trump. so she did it. she accomplished what she needed to accomplish and he helped her. >> george: donna it did seem like she was executing strategy almost to the script? >> absolutely, george. i'm in washington, d.c. but my heart, i'm sure like robin and others, is down in the gulf coast of louisiana. there was no question that there was one person who showed up as the next president. that was kamala harris. she had a solid performance, george. we knew that she had to go in there and introduce herself to the american people. she also had to lay out some fundamental issues and vision that she has for the country. but she owned the moment from that handshake. she didn't allow donald trump to get under her skin. instead, he took the bait. she was solid and basically talking to the american people. she wasn't side tracked by his taunts or rantings. so i think this gave the vice president an opportunity to once

again go out there and continue to tell hardworking americans how she's going to lower cost, protect the country and also ensure that everybody in this country feels that we belong here. that she can unite us and she can keep america strong again. >> george: chris, the first initial poll shows most people watching believed kamala harris won the debate last night. but how significant is it to the race? nothing seems to move the polls? >> it's a line of margins. we're talking about 7% to 10% of the voters in six or seven states. everybody else is decided. that means a marginal change in those voters is significant. we know how close the last races were in '16 and '20. we suspect this one will be just as close. i think it is important. the other thing i'd say to vice president harris is, it was a good performance. it wasn't a great or perfect performance. if she decides to debate again -- >> george: she said she wants to.

do you think president will? >> he may have to, george. in the after math of this, he's going to have to show he's got his wits about him. if i were her, i wouldn't be so sure i would do it. when you knock out the defending champ and he wants a rematch, maybe i'll fight four or five other people before i fight you, before i go into the ring again with him. that's going to be her call. the more important thing is she's got to own some of the mistakes in the biden administration and say this is the way i'm going to move on for it. she didn't answer about afghanistan. she didn't answer about the border. she got away with it because he was so unhinged. now, if he comes back with a more disciplined approach, she's going to have to answer that by the way, i said this in "the new york times" yesterday. there's nothing wrong with admitting when mistakes were made. the american people understand that. and they'll respect you for it. everyone who watched the withdrawal from afghanistan knew it was a mistake the way it was done. everything who watches what's gone on along the border knows the earlier approach was a mistake. she wasn't in charge. it was joe biden who was making

those decision. she should just say it was a mistake, i own it and i know i can do better. >> george: donna, does kamala harris need to show more separation from president biden? >> i hope she doesn't try to separate herself from the policies that helped the american people to get back on their feet. there's more that she needs to do and the country needs to do. last night once again she had a vision. she even defended our basic freedoms. she didn't have to do tit for tat. she had to say i'm ready to outline a vision. i have a plan and i want to move this country forward. i want to quote one of taylor swift's great songs i'm a swiftie. donald trump is going to have a hard time shaking off that debate performance. >> george: donna brazile, thanks very much. michael? >> michael: we saw what donna did. we got you, donna. coming up next the investigation after two planes collided on the tarmac in atlanta. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪

a historic handshake initiated by the vice president. the rivals meeting for the very first time. >> kamala harris. let's have a good debate. >> nice to see you. have fun. >> thank you. >> reporter: but the niceties didn't last. nominees quickly digging into each other, beginning with the issue top of mind for many voters, the economy. >> donald trump has actually no plan for you because he is more interested in defending himself than he is in looking out for you. >> she doesn't have a plan. she copied biden's plan and it's like four sentences. like run spot run. four sentences that just, oh, we'll try to lower taxes. >> reporter: the vice president repeated by goading donald trump, trying to get under his skin. >> what you will also notice is people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. >> reporter: the former president taking the bait. >> she said people started leaving. people don't go to her rallies.

there's no reason to go. >> reporter: but trump throwing the heat right back at her. >> wait a minute. i'm talking now, if you don't mind. please. does that sound familiar? she went out -- >> reporter: one of the most contentious exchanges on abortion. harris trying to capitalize on democrats' advantage on the issue. >> one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and donald trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. >> reporter: she also dodged when asked if she would support any abortion restriction. while trump repeated false claims. >> there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born. >> reporter: he refused to rule out signing a national abortion ban. on immigration, trump trying to pin previous chaos at the border on harris. >> they're destroying the fabric of our country by what they've done. >> reporter: harris laying into trump for urging republicans to kill the bipartisan border deal. >> but what we have in the former president is someone who would prefer to run on a problem rather than fix a problem.

he's gonna talk about immigration a lot even when it is not the subject being raised. >> reporter: less than two months until the election, trump still refusing to concede that he lost the last one. >> are you knock now acknowledging that you lost in 20? >> no. i don't acknowledge that at all. i said that sarcastically. you know that. we lost by a whisker. that was said sarcastically. look. there's no much proof. all you have to do is look at it. they should have sent it back to the legislatures for approval. >> reporter: the reality, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud and president biden won the 20 contest. harris using the moment to call trump unqualified. >> donald trump was fired by 81 million people. so let's be clear about that. clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that. but we cannot afford to have a president of the united states who attempts, as he did in the past, to up end the will of the voters in a free and fair election. >> reporter: in their closing

statements, harris vowing to help take the country forward. >> i intend to be a president for all americans and focus on what we can do over the next ten and twenty years to build back up our country by investing right now in you, the american people. >> reporter: while trump finally honed in on his message, questioning why harris hasn't accomplished her plans during her time as vice president. >> they've had 3 1/2 years to create jobs and all the things we talk about. why hasn't she done it? >> reporter: the harris campaign is certainly feeling good. so much so, they are challenging donald trump to a second debate. we will see if we see that ultimately happen. the question remains whether any of this moves the needle. will it make a difference in this race? one voter who has been swayed, taylor swift, posting to her instagram followers that she has made up her mind, endorsing kamala harris. robin? >> robin: thanks for your reporting. this morning the country is honoring the victims of the 9/11 attacks.

president biden and vice president harris will attend memorial service ceremonies today along with former president trump and his running mate j.d. vance. abc senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky joins us with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. after the combativeness of their debate, vice president harris and former president trump share a decidedly more somber moment in manhattan. president biden, harris, trump, his running mate are all here to mark 23 years since the september 11 attacks. it makes the ceremony a temporary focal point of the campaign but it is meant to be free of politics. there are no speeches only the solemn to mark the times planes hit the world trade center and when the towers fell. but the presence of the president, the vice president, former president and his running mate has brought extraordinary security to an event that is already viewed as a symbolic target.

families of those killed at this site are gathering now. many of them clutching photos of their loved ones, leaving flowers by their names at the 9/11 memorial. this year, michael, there are even more names, illnesses linked to all the toxic air have now killed more firefighters than the 343 who died on this day 23 years ago. michael? >> michael: day is about those victims and their families. aaron, thank you so much for that. we're going to turn to the wild fires in california, forcing new evacuations. mola lenghi is in lake elsinore for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, michael. fire crews have their hands full throughout california this morning. several fires raging. including the airport fire here in riverside county, california. it has overtaken and engulfed so many structures, destroying this home here, still on fire behind me. it has been an apocalyptic scene

across southern california. thousands forced to flee their homes as firefighters work to push back flames, attacking them on the ground and by air. there are currently three massive fires. the line fire in san bernardino, the bridge fire in l.a. and san bernardino. and the airport fire here in riverside county that's all burning in orange county. together they are threatening tens of thousands of structures. authorities in san bernardino say a 34-year-old man has been taken into custody. he is being held on $80,000 bail. >> michael: mola, thank you. coming up in our gma morning menu, amazon entering the grocery store wars, battling wal-mart and target with a a new line. how low will prices go? >> george: beyonce talks about her creative experience, her family and cowboy carter. that's in pop news. >> robin: plus lori b is here with finds for all your tailgate needs. lara is with a special guest. hey there, lara.

friendly brands like wal-mart's great value, target's good and gather. amazon said it will offer grocery staples like cookies, canned fruit and condiments, many which they say will be priced for less than $5. already available for purchase items like this 42 ounce can of oats for $3.99. several flavors of coffee creamers for $3.49 and a traditional pizza sauce for $1.09. >> the idea is that the basic products are less expensive, especially for products you keep buying over an over again. >> reporter: and while we don't know how all the amazon items will be priced, that 15 ounce jar at pizza sauce at $1.09 offers a comparison. for a shopper in new jersey we priced wal-mart's great pizza value sauce at $1.52. shop rite's 14 ounce jar was $1.79.

same size of target's good and gather pizza sauce was 1.99. >> what is different about amazon is the logistics of them handling the product to the customer is at the top. they are able to get this product very quickly. >> reporter: while grocery prices are stablizing after those rapid increases during the last three years, it still a big expense. according to the usda, families spent more than 5% of their disposable income on groceries in 2023. for many, every penny counts. amazon said most of the items will be priced under $5 and prime members will get an additional 10% off. amazon also expanding prime savings to more than 3,000 grocery items. but, guys, remember that prime itself cost $139 a year. so you got to add up all the costs. >> lara: that's true. >> michael: got to think about

the whole thing. the full thing. i'm thinking about some pop news. that's what i'm thinking about, lara. what you got for us? >> lara: thank you, becky and thank you, michael. we're going to begin with a little beyonce. the ground winning super star -- hold on. >> michael: what was that? >> lara: that was me riding a horse, i think?

it's called "high potential." you play morgan an office cleaner. she's doing her job at the l.a.p.d. and she's got an incredibly high intelligence. and she gets going on an evidence board? >> yeah. she's cleaning up one day and not paying attention, dancing around and knocks over a pile of evidence. as she's cleaning it back up and glances at the board and she walks over and crosses something off. she's able to catch things the cops miss. but she mistrusts authority and so it's a nice little unexpected pairing. >> lara: i'm supposed to ask why did you take this role? i would take it, too. it just sounds so fun. >> listen, it's something different. i'm very excited to do an hour long crime procedural. at the heart of sit a really fun character, who's a single mom. she's scrappy and she's funny and she's super smart.

>> lara: i bet she annoys the detective who is supposed to solve the crime? >> which is very fun for me. >> lara: totally. let's take a look, everyone. >> technical term is high potential intellectual. means you have advanced cognitive abilities, intellectual creativity, photographic memory, stuff like that. but i don't know, i have always just been this way. >> it's some sort of a gift? >> no, not a gift. i obsess over every little problem i see. my mind is constantly spinning out of control. which makes it impossible to hold a job, relationship, conversation. not a gift. >> lara: ah. but you end up getting a gig with the l.a.p.d. >> yeah. they talk me into working there. i love it because she does not trust cops, but she needs the money. and she also needs their help. there's something going on in her life. 15 years ago the father of her first child disappeared and at the time the police didn't believe her. so she asks detective soto to

help her figure that out. >> lara: all right. i'm in. that sounds phenomenal. there's another little show, what's it called? oh, "hacks." we love that show. nominated for your second emmy? >> it was my third. >> lara: sorry. >> that's okay. that's okay. >> don't take away my third nomination. >> lara: sorry. your character, dj, it's so complicated and heart breaking in a funny way. >> yeah. i love that. dj's so wonderful, and i love being able to play like raw emotion. playing with jean smart is wonderful. it's a dream job. >> lara: i know you probably can't tell us much about the new season, but -- >> only because i don't know. they're writing it right now. we have a phone call scheduled to see what they've got planned for dj. i'm not even keeping it from you. i have no idea. >> lara: that's interesting. where were you when you heard the news of your third emmy nomination? >> i had done a night shoot with "high potential." i woke up to get a glass of water and there were 45 texts

and three calls from jean. she left a message said, congratulations on your immunization. she was speaking through siri. i was like, i think i got nominated. >> lara: immunization. that is too funny. >> yeah, yeah. >> lara: real quick. your husband is partners with ryan reynolds on wrexam. have you become a hard core football fan? >> my whole family is deeply into this football club. we are so in love, not just with the team, but also with the town of wrexam. it's been such an incredible experience. watching this whole thing unfold, i'm so proud of rob. it's just so special. >> lara: it really is. congratulations on that, the third emmy nomination, all of your shows. we can't wait to see this one. >> thank you so much. >> lara: really nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you, too. >> lara: thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> lara: check it out. it premieres next tuesday, 10 p.m. on abc and streams the next day on hulu. let's go to ginger.

>> george: i remember seeing that. i cannot wait until it starts. all right. let's talk about the smoke. with all the wild fires, this is over the san bernardino mountains on the other side. this is what the sky looks like and will look like as that near surface smoke gets real heavy today. east of palm springs. if you're joshua tree, perhaps you are planning a hike. it's going to be rough. we're talking about extreme smoke. we don't see that purple color on here, all the way to the arizona state line. so please keep that in mind. red flag warnings extend to western south dakota. let's get a check closer to >> lara: coming up on good morning america, demar derozan on his men

where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco. >> robin: we're back with a buy nothing movement. the way millions save money and

help save the planet by sharing and giving away the things they no longer need. becky worley is back with that story for us. >> robin, good morning. with everyday prices still pretty high, the savvy shopper has to get resourceful. what better price is there than free? enter free cycle and buy nothing groups that have gained popularity online and in new apps. ten years ago lisel clark and repwa rebecca rockefeller started the buy nothing. >> i was getting food and clothing than i could not afford otherwise. >> people are okay with reusing items, with borrowing and lending. we don't have to go out and buy new. we can rely on our neighbors. >> including people like madeline. >> i ended up with this beautiful basically brand new bike that a woman wasn't using and was willing to give away. >> for jenna, it was a life

saver after a fire. >> i lost everything. my apartment was condemned. i was displaced and basically had to start over. >> she turned to the local buy nothing group on facebook and surprisingly found a lot. >> plant, cat toys, comforters, quilts, outdoor furniture. husband and wife came here and brought this 60 inch tv to my new apartment. the coffee table that it sits on and also this rug. >> participant numbers have grown. the free cycle network and buy nothing project claim more than 16 million members. aside from millions saved, these groups are great for the environment. it's estimated that about 1,000 items are exchanged every day on free cycle. that's about equivalent to how much goes into a midsize landfill every day. so it's not going to solve our global waste problem, but it's something easy that everybody can participate in. >> you can find free cycle and

buy nothing groups on facebook. there's also an app for free cycling and next door has lots of offerings for free items. hot categories are furniture, baby gear and gardening supplies. robin, i love free. who doesn't? >> robin: who doesn't love free? who doesn't love anna robertson? great to see her. always great to see you, becky. thank you. coming up nba star demar derozan talks about his new memoir on

>> michael: i'm excited to be back now with six time nba all star demar derozan. in addition to achievements on the court, he is also a mental health advocate. he's written a book about his experience with depression called "above the noise" my story of chasing calm. demarco, good morning. good to see you. it's been awhile. i love that you've written this book. everyone would look at you and go what a picture of success. but you struggled with mental health. when did your mental health struggles start? how did you realize you were struggling? >> it came on for me may 20th when i was able to kind of identify the emotions that i was carrying for awhile through my teenage years. even in my young 20s, i was always so aggressive and finding so much negative emotion towards everything. not knowing where it came from, you know?

so by the time my may 20th, i wanted to identify these feelings that i couldn't really understand. >> michael: in 2018 you sent out a tweet that said this depression gets the best of me. what prompted that? how did that help you, if it did help you? >> what prompted me was overwhelming of emotions of frustration, of sadness. i think i just hit my wall at that point, you know, mainly screaming out for help. i took it to twitter, unknowingly, not knowing what was going to come next. it was kind of selfish emotions that night in the middle of the night, feeling like i didn't have nobody to talk to and i kind of screamed out for help. and with that led me to be able to sit here with you today, you know? it put me on a journey of trying to understand how to find that calm that you definitely need, that we all need. >> michael: we see so many more athletes who are stepping out saying, yeah, i am struggling. simone biles, kevin love.

naomi osaka, dak prescott. what do you think about how this has all evolved? as people are coming out more and sharing. >> it's a beautiful thing. i never look at it like i was the cause of anything. it's a beautiful thing because, for me, i look at all those guys' stories and find so much inspiration within it because it shows the power of strength that we can give one another. because we're all going through something. just breaking that stigma of showing that it's okay to be vulnerable and show empathy to one another goes a long way. >> michael: something else i have been watching on you tube, i have been watching your show. dinners with demar. dwayne wade, draymond green, damian lilliard about experiences they've been facing. how has that been? >> it's been amazing. because one, these individuals that i look up to, stories that -- conversation that i have had with these same individuals that inspired me to continue my journey.

it was something i wanted to give to the audience for free. go to my you tube channel and check it out. and, hopefully, help the next person. we got to get you on there, too. >> michael: dinner for free on demar, i'm in. >> whatever you want. you can pick the restaurant. i'll take care of everything. but, you know, just putting everybody's life story in front and showing vulnerability, it shows what we really go through. i know it's easy for us to be perceived as super heroes but we go through things that affect us in a lot of way. >> michael: when you first put it out there, i'm struggling, was there apprehension? >> for sure. i was scared. i'm gonna be honest. i still have moments of being nervous, being scared, expressing and trying to figure this thing out. it's a sensitive thing. me doing it when i'm walking or i have people come up to me saying i inspire them to push through their struggles and help me. that's the whole goal that you are trying to accomplish through this whole thing. >> michael: not something that you're just like, i'm healed, i'm fine.

it's something that's on going? >> it's definitely on going. i speak a lot about it in the book, just expressing how life is a journey. you know? you're going to hit bumps in the road, obstacles here and there. it's how you push through it, how you find that calm that you need to get through it. life is gonna be a challenge every step of the way. >> michael: what do you want most people to take from the book? >> inspiration, hope, confidence and, you know, vulnerability. you know? express your vulnerability. you can fine strength in that. i really hope a lot of people take that from my book. my book is still going. so much in life that i still am going through. from writing a book. it's been a lot of stuff that i've been through that i've been trying to be a better man, a better father, be a better you know, leader. everything, every step of the way. you know, just understanding that this whole

thing is a journey. >> well, we're glad you're sharing it. we're glad you put it in the book. and glad you're out here trying to help people. what you're doing. and congratulations on sacramento kings, man. thank you brother. all right. good luck this upcoming season. and above the noise is available now. please go out and pick it up. and if you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, call or text the national lifeline at 988. over to you guys. >> a lot of wise words there. and demar make michael pay for dinner. you don't pay for dinner. michael i got him. >> no i got him robin. you got it. you sure. i take care of him. no, i got him. >> he's a good man. you're a good man. oh, thanks so much for watching, everybody. all right, everybody, have a great day. >> make him pay. >> the view is live and all new. and later this morning. usher is in the house. then tomorrow, chelsea clinton co-hosts and kathryn hahn hits the table on america's number one daytime talk show, abc's the view. >> abc's david muir, the most watched newscast in america.
