weekend looks ox out west, different story out east. that is ocean city, maryland. parts of the south and mid-atlantic are under tropical storm warnings. dylan's got the forecast. first, we do want to start at the southern border where thousands of migrants have been crossing into the border illegally. why now? officials say cooler weather after that record summer heat and rumors spread by cartels, according to the border patrol that the border is now open. we will start with tom llamas. hi, mom. good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah. good morning to you. the town of eagle pass where we are shell shocked after that border patrol and u.s. military to get down here and help, and it is not over. early this morning, our team capturing these images you see right here. a line of migrants being escorted to be processed. they are still coming in. so the big question is why now and why so many?

this has been a growing problem. the numbers are ticking up, but from what we can gather, they heard rumors they could get in here, and even though you see the barbed wire behind me, there were large stretches of this border that went completely unguarded and that's why thousands of migrants came in. >> this morning border towns across america being pushed to the limit again. tens of thousands of migrants crossing illegally. part of a surge that started earlier this week. scenes like this, lines of migrants mostly from venezuela crossing through barbed wire and across the rio grande, forcing eagle pass texas to declare a state of emergency. >> you are allowing mothers of children in. >> migrants we spoke to said this surge was fueled by rumors that the border was open. this mother crossed with her seven and two-year-old daughters, carrying them on her

shoulder. but they're the lucky ones. a three-year-old child swept away in a swim crossing wednesday and drowning. yesterday texas officials pulling another body from the river. we know this problem had slowly been growing. why is it so bad this week? >> the facts are that the cartels control who goes where and when. they determined this week was the week it's going to happen. >> reporter: the biden administration now sending 800 military personnel to the border to help process the arrivals. >> it is a crisis. it's something that is out of control. >> reporter: in eagle pass, a town of less than 35,000 had 2,500 illegal crossings in a day. so what do you need here? >> everything. we need kids clothing, women's clothing, shampoo, hygiene items. >> reporter: she runs the only shelter in eagle pass, and it just opened this week with

little room and few resources, most of the migrants she's helping stay for a few hours before heading to big cities like new york and chicago, which now are also overwhelmed. >> we're a very small town. there is a lot of resources that are needed, not only for us, for the community, for the city, for the county. and this is a very important county. >> reporter: now, largely because of the scenes of what we saw in new york city with those shelters are overwhelmed and even though democratic leaders have gone from touting new york city as a sanctuary city to now saying there is no more room, the biden administration is now granting temporary protected status to almost half a million venezuelans that lets them work legally and support themselves in places like new york city to hopefully relieve some of that stress, but critics are saying when they do this, it's only going to encourage more migrants

to come to these cities. >> tom, thank you very much. that sets the stage or kristin welker. also, the new rule just mentioned by tom for venezuelans in this newark area allowing them to work. this will be a problem for president biden. what is his strategy going forward? >> yeah. you are absolutely right, savannah. there is no doubt this is a major challenge for president biden, those images there in tom's piece. look, he's running for re-election and already facing headwinds. here is what the administration is saying. they are saying this is part of the ebb and flow that happens with migration. but republicans see this as a powerful issue. speaker mccarthy pivoted to attacking president biden in the middle of talking about the showdown for not focusing on the border after the migrant crossings reached record levels. i talked to advocates overnight and they said, look, the white house has to reclaim the narrative here by really trying to own this issue. you're starting to see that. overnight president biden trying

to do that, slamming the, quote, maga republicans for failing to work with him on the broader issue of imm issue of immigration reform. but the challenge is it runs the risk of giving the people this feeling, savannah, that things are out of control on the border. >> both sides taking their political shots, but it will be nice if washington could get together and solve the problems that underlie this whole thing speaking of, we've got another shutdown looming house republicans are at war with themselves over how to get a budget deal across what is the feeling there? are we going to see another shutdown >> i have been talking to gop sources overnight. they are saying it is looking increasingly possible, savannah. not all but impossible but it looks more and more likely every day after house republicans failed to move forward on a spending bill one top source said there are a lot of members here in town. they will be working together to

try to find a deal, but they only have nine days left here is what's happening you have a small group of hard line conservatives not getting on board they refuse to back any new aid to ukraine mccarthy needs to finds a way to get them onboard because he onlg to oust him if he doesn't meet their demands. rememb has a slim majority. not a surprise but they're threatening to oust him if he doesn't meet their demands remember, it only takes one member to call a vote on his speakership. he said, quote, this is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the place qu down strong language there. >> well, lots to talk about on sunday what do you have coming up on "meet the press." >> we will interview chris cristie. and this is notable because he has seen a boost in recent polls out of new hampshire we will talk to representative jim clyburn, a biden campaign co-chair

and a national poll. it looks at the 2024 race, and steve kornacki will be there to break down the numbers for me. >> okay. we look forward to it. kristin, thank you. let's turn to that tragic bus accident in new york it was carrying members of a high school band to camp when it crashed and plunged down an embankment two adults were killed and many others hurt. emilie ikeda joins us with the latest on where that community is reeling. >> good morning to you school is open students are beginning to file in and grief counselors are on hand to help students try to make sense of this terrible tragedy there are handles marking the entryway to school in honor of the dozens of students that were injured. and the long-time retired teacher and the school's band director that were tragically killed in yesterday's bus crash, officials revealing a faulty bus tire may be to blame a bus ride to band camp taking a deadly turn.

seen so many migrants surge at the border all across the southern border, even in california as well. now overnight, we had a chance to speak to some migrants that were inside a shelter to ask them, why now, and why so many? they heard rumors they could get into eagle pass and the app that the biden administration had established to people could apply for asylum in a different country only worked 40% of the time. most of the people we talked to were adult men from venezuela, and the shelter operator pointed out to us and said, for the first time they've seen a wave of just men. usually they see a mix of women, men, and families, but this time it was largely venezuelan men. all of this happening under the backdrop that the biden administration changed the rules for veezuelans. they're now allowing up to or around half a million venezuelans protected status to work legally in the u.s. and support themselves. we have to also understand this is not just sort of a flash in

the pan here. we could be dealing with this crisis ongoing for several months. we know at the darian gap where many migrants have been crossing over from, venezuela into the u.s., the numbers were about 220,000. at this point, there are already 350,000. back to you guys. >> all right, tom llamas at the border for us. thank you, tom. the hollywood writers' union plans to meet with producers for a third straight day as they are inching toward a deal to end the nearly five-month long talk. staying late. it was a ten-hour marathon session. progress was reported in areas such as artificial intelligence and residuals. however, some significant issues remain remain the studios still have a reach a contract deal with the union ans remain. actors. now to that dramatic story behind a remarkable rescue

things we would never do first up, denise quinn she is the founder of in order to succeed, organizing and moving specialists she's been in the moving business for 25 years. denise, good morning okay you say, number one, never move without a checklist. why is that important? >> checklists are key. in a former life, i was an operating room nurse and a private pilot. moves are complicated. if you are prepared, you can anticipate things that will need to be done and get ahead of the game, as opposed to finding yourself in a situation where you are in a chaotic situation. >> never have friends or family pack spaces with sensitive items. okay. >> well, we know what our sensitive items would be if you are moving yourself completely, then that is fine. but if other people are helping you, consider taking those out of the equation, putting them

aside. locking them into a box and say to be moved by owner because it will be more comfortable to you. >> could be prescriptions or things in a night stand. >> medicine cabinet. you know what your stuff is. >> okay. never use a mover to transport perishable or valuable items >> we do have companies that we would never have problems allowing them to move jewelry boxes and things of the sort but if it is something perishable, especially during heat waves and cold spells, you don't want that sitting in a truck. >> yeah. they do sit on the truck for a good, long time. okay never let a moving crew leave before confirming any damage they caused. this can get awkward what is the right way to approach if i say, i think i'm missing the bottom of this cabinet right now?

>> you need to address it at the time you see it. if you have other witnesses that are there that can corroborate your story, most movers will stand behind and be honest about it, but you have to be prepared. >> real quick, never label a box by items you don't want to say what's in it. where that box is going to go. whether you come up with a color coded system more importantly, it is to where that box is going to go. whether you come up with a color coded system and the yellow boxes are going from this room to that and you label it, it facilitates the quickness. >> so the room, not just what's in it. >> thank you hoda, over to you. >> thanks, sg. i'm here with the founder of less bells in new york city dentistry with over ten years of experience in her field. she has five tips for her teeth. okay i need these things you never would do as a dentist. you would never skip flossing, never. why not? >> flossing is so important. there is so much bacteria that s

lives in between your gum and your tooth so not flossing is like taking a shower without soap. >> how many times a day do you floss? >> floss twice a day after you eat. and there is a relationship between the bacteria that's in the mouth so your heart. so the bacteria actually moves through the bloodstream and it that the bacteria could attack the blood vessels there has been research showing that the bacteria that's -- >> yeah, it could cause heart issues. >> it could cause heart issues in 30 years. >> all right never drink seltzer or soda without a straw. >> it is an acid bath. so drink water immediately after. bath. just rinse your mouth to neutralize the ph. >> this one i see a lot of instagram. they say never get duped by whitening gimmicks. >> yes there is lights. we have all seen these lightening products. what the light is doing is that it's dehydrating the teeth, so it makes the teeth appear whiter, but it is actually not

better the second you take a sip of water, the color comes right back. >> just use professional stuff there. never use do-it-yourself teeth liners because i think some people might think that's cheaper. it is kind of doing the same thing. why not? >> it is not doing the same thing. we should not be moving body parts without supervision. so i cannot tell you how many of these cases i see in my office where the front teeth are perfect. the back teeth are not touching. so it is best to see a professional. >> lastly, never brush immediately after you eat. how long are you supposed to wait >> you are supposed to wait 30 minutes after you eat, after the ph in your mouth is acidic so the teeth are softer. so wait 30 minutes before you brush. rinse with water. >> that's it

all right. i learned a lot. thank you, doctor. let's go to craig. >> hoda, thank you that's right dustin is a master electrician with more than 15 years of experience and the ceo of the online training platform electrician u. good to see you. let's start with tip number one. as an electrician, you say you would never plug a power cord into another power cord. why? >> yeah. a lot of team do this and they don't realize that every time you plug something in, there is more current being drawn you are either going to trip breakers all of the time and it will be a nuisance problem or you can create fires >> speaking of tripping a breaker, you maintain you should never ignore a broken -- tripping a breaker. >> yeah. i see homeowners like to put tape over their breakers or just ignore it. but breakers are there for trip. that's their whole reason for existing don't ever ignore that. >> you see that you would never buy incandescent for halogen
