continue in this game. >> after just four batters. his hand bleeding on the mound, his finger injured by a drone. all while his team makes a run for the world series. and the price is so right. that had not one -- not two. but three contestants jumping for joy. the epic game show stunner. ? fireball ? we do say good morning, america. what a moment. what a moment on "the price is right." you see all those contestants so excited. >> in 45 years or seasons, it has never happened before. and this reaction to this as great as it was when it aired 45 years ago. people still that excited. >> pretty great. a lot more on that coming up. but we begin with the race for the white house. exactly three weeks until the final votes. melania trump is speaking out

release of that "access hollywood" tape. and overnight, donald trump doubling down on his claims of voter fraud, and his confrontation with house speaker paul ryan. tom llamas spoke with him. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. as you're about to hear, those comments about speaker paul ryan is striking. this, as melania trump, is telling the country women shouldn't be accusing her husband of sexual assault they have evidence. >> i believe my husband. i believe my husband. this was all organized from the opposition. and with the details that they got, did they ever doctor did they ever check the background of these women? >> reporter: trump's wife melania in front of the cameras for the first time since the convention, breaking her silence on cnn about the now infamous "access hollywood" recording. >> when you're a star they let you do it. you can do anything. >> whatever you want. >> grab them by the [ bleep ].

>> reporter: melania blaming billy bush. >> there was kind of a -- a boy talk. and he was lead on, like, egg on, from the host to say dirty and bad stuff. >> you feel the host billy bush was sort of egging him on? >> yes, yes. >> reporter: but melania also saying trump's immaturity played a role. >> yeah, it's kind of two teenage boys. actually, they should behave better, right? >> he was 59. >> correct. and sometimes i said, i have two boys at home. i have my young son. and i have my husband. >> the behavior described to you, is that sexual assault? >> no, that's not sexual assault. he didn't say he did it. and i see many, many women coming to him and giving a phone

and, you know, want to work for him. or inappropriate stuff from women. and they know he's married. so -- >> you've seen that. >> oh, yes, of course, it was in front of me. >> in front of you? >> in front of me. and i said, like, why you need to give your number to my husband? i'm very strong. >> reporter: with melania describing women throwing themselves at trump, i asked him if he's taken advantage. have you crossed the line in the past with women ever? i have great respect for women. i have tremendous respect for women. these people come up maybe for a little fame or maybe some other reason. >> reporter: overnight donald trump amplifying his claims the election may be stolen from him, this time adding dead voters into the mix. >> more than 1.8 million deceased individuals right now are listed as voters. oh, that's wonderful. [ crowd booing ]

right? but i have a feeling they're not going to vote. >> reporter: trump citing a 2014 "washington post" story about possible voter fraud. trump suggesting undocumented immigrants helped president obama. >> it is possible that noncitizen votes were responsible for obama's 2008 victory in north carolina. >> reporter: trump telling me it's why his voters will be on the lookout on election day. >> i think we have to be very vigilant and careful with people that are voting. >> reporter: trump election rhetoric causing another split with speaker paul ryan, who disagrees with the notion. is paul ryan hurting you or helping you? >> well, i don't want to be knocking paul ryan. i think he could be more supportive to the republican nominee. we're doing well. i think we're going to win the election. >> reporter: do you think he wants you to win? >> well, maybe not. because maybe he wants to run if four years. or maybe he doesn't know how to win. maybe he just doesn't know how to win.

voter fraud idea, it's incredibly rare. politifact is ranking donald trump's use of certain stats to show large-scale voter fraud as pants on fire false, their lowest ranking. robin? >> okay, tom, thank you. now to hillary clinton looking to gain momentum and expand into traditionally red states. her campaign dramatically ramping up efforts in arizona. but this morning, she's facing tough new questions about her e-mails. abc's cecilia vega is here with all of that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. and this morning, allegations of a quid pro quo. the implication here that a top state department official was trying to protect hillary clinton from the political fallout of having classified information on her private server. the state department and the fbi say it never happened. but republicans say not so fast. the stars were out for a big hillary clinton fund-raiser overnight in new york. billy crystal, sarah jessica parker, barbra streisand, just to name a few, all raising at least $2 million.

newly released notes from fbi interviews about clinton's private server, in them, what republicans are calling this bombshell. an fbi staffer accuses a top state department official of pressuring the bureau to declassify an e-mail found on that server. the fbi staffer telling investigators that the request amounted to a quote quid pro quo. adding in exchange for marking the e-mail unclassified, state would reciprocate by allowing the fbi to place more agents in countries where they are presently forbidden. the fbi and state department say the deal never happened. there was no quid pro quo and that the e-mail in question remained classified. >> there was no quid pro quo. >> reporter: donald trump pouncing. >> this shows corruption at the highest level. and we can't let it happen as american citizens. >> reporter: clinton's team still feeling confident about the election, expanding efforts in republican territory --

and in arizona three big name surrogates, bernie sanders, chelsea clinton, and the heaviest hitter of all, michelle obama, all headed there this week. clinton herself still off the campaign trail, behind closed doors, george, she's practicing for tomorrow's debate. >> big event tomorrow night, cecilia, thanks very much. let's talk to matthew dowd about all of this. we know the clinton campaign now going big into arizona, making some kind of a play in indiana and missouri, as well. so the question, is this smart politics or overconfidence? >> well, i think it's a little bit of both. i think it's fairly smart to force your opponent -- she's now playing on her opponent's side of the field. and the clock is on her side. the clock is running out. she has a lead. but it is demonstrating a little bit of overconfidence. because she's not put away oy ohio. and has not fully put away north carolina. and she has not put away florida. so she has to protect those states, because she wants to win one of those states. but i think she has a real shot of carrying arizona. >> even though she doesn't need one of those three big states she wants it for security going

meantime, let's look ahead to tomorrow night. the final presidential debate. let's talk a little bit about what each candidate has to do. donald trump, we have seen what he's doing. he's going to try to provoke a mistake from clinton. >> she has almost wrapped this race up. she's got a huge national lead. she has a lead in almost every state. he has to win but he can't just have a bare victory but a big victory. and he has to hope that for some reason, that debate, she does something that all of us are going to be talking about for the three days following. >> the danger for her would be sort of overcautiousness. >> well, i think she's going to go in and she knows that running out the clock is what she needs to do. if she goes in like she did in the first debate, like she did in the second debate, and does well, she's going to win this race. >> okay, matthew dowd, thanks very much. you can see the final presidential debate tomorrow night right here on abc. i'll be anchoring our live coverage with our whole political team starting at 9:00 eastern. >> all right, george. >> i'm going to stay up late. i'm going to stay up late to watch you, george. with everybody else out there.

where we're feeling the heat on the east coast. it's spreading across the country and we're enjoying some a/c inside. but ginger is outside. how long is this hot streak going to last? >> we have at least a couple of days. here we are in the middle of october in times square. it's 67 degrees at this hour. that's three degrees warmer than our average high should be. so you know this isn't normal. check it out. it is downright steamy. look at that map. record highs as of monday. dodge city, kansas. they've never hit 100 plus in the month of october until st. louis, missouri, had a record high. we could do it again with records possible from dallas, texas, through washington, d.c. and cincinnati, you could do it as well. that jet stream is buckled and it will stay that way at least for the next two to three days depending where you are and then we'll get back to reality, guys. >> thank you, ginger. >> i'm used to getting off the plane from california this time of the year with a jacket. i got off and i'm like, it's hot out here. >> even hotter today. >> we're not complaining at all. now overseas to the fight

lending support to a massive military operation now in its second day. to knock the terror group out of its last strong hold in iraq. alex marquardt has more from the front lines. he's at a refugee camp. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, robin. progress is being made. but it's slow-going. isis showing they are not going away without a fight. we are here at a camp for the displaced. many that you see here lived under isis. they've been telling us their stories, as the u.n. braces for a huge, new wave of people fleeing the fighting. pushing towards mosul, iraqi forces this morning on the move. here fighters going house to house to take back a village. but the militants putting up fierce resistance, booby-trapping homes and sending out suicide bombers. air strikes from the u.s.-led coalition have paved the way. american special forces are advising the troops. leaflets dropped telling residents to stay inside away from isis positions. here a truck careening into a line of iraqi tanks. then exploding.

suicide bombers on the first day of fighting. aid agencies are bracing for hundreds of thousands fleeing in the coming weeks. many here have lived under the terror of isis. hussein telling us he and his brothers were due to be executed with 250 others for resisting before they escaped. >> we cannot sleep with our -- without fear. >> reporter: you can't sleep wi >> yes, you cannot guess when will they take you at night. and kill you. >> reporter: they would just come and randomly come and take people and kill them. we will be hearing a lot of stories like that in the coming days. it could be some time before this fight is over. the pentagon says they're ahead of schedule, but it could be weeks or months before isis is pushed out of mosul. george? >> right, it is a critical battle. okay, alex, thanks very much. the latest on a manhunt in alaska where a gunman ambushed a

times, before making his getaway in the patrol car of the wounded officer. abc's neal karlinsky is tracking the case. >> reporter: you're looking at fairbanks police officer allen brandt's dash cam, responding to a call of shots fired sunday morning. the first thing he sees is a man on the right walking towards him. then suddenly the same man rushes to the driver's side of the patrol car with a gun raised, shooting the 11-year veteran and times in the lower part of his body and once in the chest. >> sergeant brandt was wearing body armor which protected his chest area. he sustained injuries to his legs and shrapnel in his left eye. he is awake, alert, and in stable condition. >> reporter: the suspect is seen one last time calmly walking away after stealing the patrol car and dumping it a few blocks later. this morning police say an urgent manhunt is on. the alleged attempt on police, one of several targeting officers in recent weeks. in vallejo, california, this

officers with guns drawn chasing a man they say tried to attack them while they were having coffee sunday. >> a man with a rifle just tried to ambush us at starbucks. carrying a rifle. hey, shoot him! >> reporter: police say 41-year-old adam powell was wearing body armor and had a handgun and an assault-type rifle on him. >> came up to the glass and pointed a rifle at us. >> reporter: the gun apparently jamming as he approached. officers chased him shooting and wounding powell who was also a person of interest in the shooting of his 2-year-old son injured earlier that day. >> we presume that this was a premeditated ambush on our officers. >> reporter: in alaska, sergeant brandt is very lucky to be alive. this year already, the number of police shot and killed tonight job is up more than 50% from last year. george? >> wow, thank goodness for that body armor. neal, thanks very much. now let's go to amy with the other top stories, starting with more trouble for air travelers.

three top airlines suffered major computer problems overnight. some passengers couldn't make online reservations or check in with southwest, jetblue or virgin america for hours. the airlines say it was a technical issue, not a hack. the system is now back up and running. well, russia has agreed to an eight-hour cease-fire in syria to allow civilians to flee from eastern aleppo. ten more children were reportedly killed in air strikes on monday. those air strikes have now been halted. a former vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff faces possible prison time aft pleading guilty to lying to the fbi. retired marine general james cartwright admits making false statements during an investigation into a leak of classified information. under a plea deal, prosecutors will recommend no more than six months behind bars. cartwright is a former abc news contributor. and a man in arizona learned the hard way when you lock yourself out of your house, the chimney is not a viable option. he was stuck for four hours until fire crews pulled him out.

he was covered in soot. there you see him. but it didn't stop him from giving one of the firefighters a big old hug right there. i just want to say locksmiths are an option. even maybe breaking a window might be better than getting stuck in a chimney. >> than coming down the chimney? >> just saying. >> the firefighter looked like he was actually receptive of that hug covered in soot. stay away from me, buddy. thank you, amy. here's something you don't see every day. indians pitcher trevor bauer forced to leave his playoff game early because his finger started bleeding. and kayna whitworth is here with that story. and kayna, this all started with an injury from a drone. >> reporter: michael, that is exactly right. trevor bauer says he sliced his finger fixes one of his drones. and it happened right before the biggest game of his life. and so his start was pushed back. but after just 21 pitches, his finger started bleeding so much, they had to pull him. >> he's got him! >> reporter: overnight the cleveland indians beating the

the indians now one game closer to the world series. but this morning, everyone is pointing fingers at indians pitcher trevor bauer who started the first inning off with a bloody mess. >> there's no way you can continue in this game with the blood gushing from your hand. >> reporter: the 25-year-old pulled from the mound in the first inning after facing just four batters. trevor's pinkie finger dripping blood. >> they were confident coming into today. >> reporter: bauer's injury not from the game, but from a drone propeller. freak accident you can't really control to. and i was plugging the battery in and my finger happened to be right here. >> reporter: trevor, a huge drone enthusiast, nearly severed his finger friday, needing ten stitches. but just like there's no crying in baseball, there are no bandages either. major league baseball forbidding pitchers to attach anything to their hand, finger, or wrist. >> when i saw blood on the rubber, i kind of figured out it wasn't a real good sign. >> reporter: twitter having a

writing it's just a flesh wound. some drawing comparisons to curt schilling and his bloody sock in the 2004 playoffs. >> we don't have another starter right now. >> reporter: one thing is for sure, the indians keeping their fingers crossed bauer will make a quick recovery. so if the indians win tonight they will clinch the alcs and then will head to the world series. michael, i can hear my dad saying, wrap it up, get back in the game. they can't put anything on their hands. >> you know, pitchers,re they don't want any illegal substances. any advantage. that would be an advantage. a lot of people saying why is he messing with a drone and 25 -- maybe it's a relaxing thing for him because he's under a lot of pressure as a pitcher. maybe it's way to -- >> not so relaxing right now. >> does that sound relaxing to you? the most annoying thing ever. >> he wasn't holding it, at least i don't think he was. >> did i scare you again, george? >> now we know what you really think about drones. okay. back to ginger with wildfire concerns in the west. >> yes, we go to colorado where at least 15,000 acres are

abc15. we're back in two minutes we're back in two minutes with a ch allegations against pinal county sheriff paul babeu. paul babeu exposed in a damning home video. accusations of widespread abuse at a massachusetts private school. she is sick of hearing sheriff paul babeu lie. allegations of abuse of power. another headache, the fbi has subpoenaed records. lawsuits regarding abuse and neglect. questions of babeu's integrity. new page of controversy. a question of judgment. ultimately voters are going to have to decide

good tuesday morning. we're talking about that most accurate forecast. it's awfully nice out they. go for a quick hike. temperatures are very nice. 66 in phoenix sk it's going to be breezy today. we could see gusts of up to 50 miles an hour. and the high country, 30 miles per hour. 75 by 9:00. 82 by 11 a clock. minibus getting into the upper 80s and low 90s for the high. i'm tracking a couple crashes from our centurylink traffic center. there on the i-10 eastbound at avondale. another in the tunnel. desert drive time is about 30

i learned as a police officer and a businessman you should never abuse people's trust. unfortunately, today too many politicians either serve their party or themselves, and arizona families suffer. the arizona republic called paul babeu a disgrace. babeu spent $28,000 of taxpayer money at a five-star resort and was questioned by the fbi for using public money to promote himself. o'halleran: i'm tom o'halleran, and i approve this message, leaders you can trust.

legendary rock star awarded the nobel prize for literature but the committee is still knock, knock, knocking on his door. but he hasn't answered yet. he's not returning their calls or e-mails. and they say they're giving him -- they're not giving up. they'll keep on trying to reach out to him and i guess that's what we're doing right now. >> he did a couple of concerts over the weekend, didn't say a word about it. >> but they feel confident he'll show up. >> maybe he is super humble. who knows. that was silence. did you hear that silence? wow. >> i don't think you get a nobel prize and then keep it quiet on the down-low. let's move on now and get more from melania trump. as we said she's standing by her husband blaming the media for spreading lies about him and linsey davis has a closer look. >> reporter: good morning. the republican presidential nominee's wife is now talking candidly in her first interviews in months. and she dismisses the "access hollywood" recording between the former host billy bush and her husband as simply

trump on. and that what trump said does not count as sexual assault. >> he apologized to me and i expect -- i accept his apology. and we are moving on. >> reporter: melania trump not only defends her husband, she goes on the attack. >> is it fair for the media to bring up bill clinton's past? or for donald trump to bring up bill clinton's past? >> if they bring my past, why not? >> so they're asking for it. >> they're asking for it. they started. >> reporter: the woman typically known to keep a low profile is no longer shying away from entering the fray. >> oh, poor melania. don't feel sorry for me. don't feel sorry for me. i -- i can handle everything. >> reporter: her stand by her man position is somewhat reminiscent of hillary clinton in 1998 when her husband was president and faced accusations of sexual misconduct. >> this vast right wing conspiracy that has been

since the day he announced for president. >> it was left wing and left wing media. yeah. >> reporter: the couple first met at a fashion week party in 1998. she told "harper's bazaar" she refused to give trump her phone number. instead, the slovenian model asked him for his. they went on their first date soon after. in 2005, they were married. and a year later, birth to their son, barron. she's mostly stayed off the campaign trail to raise him until her most maligned appearance at the republican convention this summer. >> the only limit to your achievements -- >> the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them. >> and your willingness to work for them. >> reporter: since speechgate melania has stayed out of the limelight. just last week, her legal team demanded an apology from "people" magazine disputing

claims that sometime after she says she was assaulted by donald trump she bumped into melania on the treat in 2005 and had a conversation with her. >> i was never friend with her. i would not recognize her. >> reporter: so as the campaign winds down, mrs. trump is hoping to land some punches before the final bell. >> people won't want to go against him but my husband is real. he's raw. he tells as it is. >> reporter: according to "the new york times," trump's aides urged melania to show her support for r a sit-down interview with trump. melania reportedly did not like that idea. in her interview with fox news she is very clear she is her own woman and no one will make her do anything she doesn't want to do. robin and george. >> okay, linsey, thanks very much. let's bring in cokie roberts to talk more about this. cokie, as linsey pointed out in the piece right there, real echoes of hillary clinton both in 1998 and 1992, question today is how effective was it? >> probably not terribly effective, in the same way that hillary clinton wasn't terribly effective in those interviews.

story alive, for one thing. but another is that melania trump is, in some ways, not terribly recognizable to a lot of voters. during the republican convention i interviewed a number of republican female delegates who basically said that they couldn't relate to her. she was too beautiful, she was too rich. and that they didn't see her as an authentic person. in the same way that people see michelle obama, for instance. >> she was very much goingft it seems like that was part of the strategy in having her come out and speak, cokie. >> well, in some ways i think that -- that in some ways was her most effective part because it was about her as opposed to being about her husband where she said they went after me so why not? but, again, that brings up her past. and gives people excuses to put out nude pictures of her, which is not terribly helpful to the campaign.

would say to be effective is see her publicly accepting her husband's apology. >> well, which, of course, she did in the statement and now she's done publicly, as well. but, again, i don't think that that is something that people would expect her to do anything else but accept his apology. but, you know, look, looking at voters who basically say they don't care. we've got -- we've got a very partisan electorate right now, what i do think might be true is that it might have energized some of hillary clinton's voters to say we don't want this man. >> i know, raddatz was here picking up on what you were just saying, cokie, martha raddatz was here, she spoke to voters who basically said, it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter what he did. so is a bigger deal being made out of it than it really is? >> well, i think that -- no, i really don't think so. i think even if it doesn't matter to a lot of voters who are very firmly set in their place, that it has started a national conversation, robin. >> true, true.

little bit empowered by. that they're saying, this is -- this is not okay. and there's a whole twitter site, not okay, with thousands of women on it now telling their own stories. so i think this has a life even beyond this campaign. >> yeah, the reaction has been extraordinary when you really break it down. all right, cokie, thanks so much. >> good to be with you. >> coming up on the big board? >> a lot. up next what fellow republicans are saying about donald trump's and also, what one guy did to get himself banned from the tennis court. wait till you see the caught on camera meltdown. all that coming up in just two minutes and we have mr. mcenroe here to talk about that. >> patrick mcenroe. >> there he is over there. that was invigorating! you're probably wondering why i've just carved a giant wooden tiger. well, the answer is that a real one would maul me. i've crafted dr. whiskers here as a visual aid

ll not pounce like tigers because people don't like that. come here to buy a car. dr. whiskers won't pounce. nobody will. ? ? ? life can be messy... but with crayola color wonder... it doesn't have to be. don't you wish life could be this mess-free? color wonder. find it in the crayola aisle. sets each sold separately. if your sneezes are a force to be reckoned with... you may be muddling through allergies. try zyrtec? for powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec? is different than claritin?. because it starts working faster on the first day you take it.

just talking smack here with patrick mcenroe. we're talking about the '91 u.s. open, go figure. >> thanks for the memories. >> welcome back. time for our big board. our team of insiders standing by

top stories. as we said, patrick mcenroe is here at the table. we'll get to mac in just a moment. but let's start with republican nominee donald trump. ramping up those allegations that the presidential election is rigged. overnight at a rally in green bay, wisconsin, again hammering home the claim. >> they even want to try to rig the election at the polling booths. and believe me, there's a lot going on. did you ever hear these people, they say, there's nothing g on? people that have died ten years ago are still voting. illegal immigrants are voting. i mean, where are the street smarts of some of these politicians? >> and we got jon karl joining us now from the battleground state of florida which was the epicenter of the last presidential election controversy. and i don't have to tell you, trump is not letting this one go, jon. >> oh, he is up obsessed with

this morning he is still tweeting about it and this is a bedrock principle of american democracy, the peaceful transition of power, the integrity of our election systems. he is saying that they don't have integrity, so i asked one of the republican leaders he's talking about last night, i moderated a debate here in florida last night between the senate candidates. and i asked marco rubio about this. listen to his response. there's been a lot of question about the legitimacy of this election. donald trump has said this election is absolutely being rigged. >> this election is not being rigged. and i'll explain to you why it's not being rigged in florida. and why i hope he stops saying that. why he should stop saying that. we have 67 counties in this state. each of which conduct their own elections. i promise you there is not a 67-county conspiracy to rig this election. >> well, and that -- >> here's another thing, robin, when you talk about this, local election officials in much of the country are republicans. in fact, in the two biggest battleground states, ohio and

>> but, jon, what do they do to ensure the elections are fair and because of what donald trump is saying, do you think this year they're extra careful? >> reporter: oh, yes, i think there will be an eagle eye on all of the election largely because of what donald trump is saying. but really, this was the case before donald trump uttered the word rigged. i mean, i was down here covering the florida recount in 2000, believe me, after that process, people did a big scrub of the lawyers for both parties, this is something that has been looked at very carefully for a long time. >> good point there, jon. >> all right. well, thank you, jon. now to outrage over a 911 dispatcher accused of hanging up on more than 800 emergency calls. she's now facing two misdemeanor counts with potentially more to come. legal analyst areva martin joining us now. investigators say she may have

than the 800 that they e know about, including one that ended in a fatality. but have you ever heard of anything like this? >> no, michael. this is an outrageous case. this woman crenshanda williams may have hung up on thousands of callers, and as you said, two really serious cases. one involving an armed robbery where there was a fatal shooting. and a second one involving a woman who became unconscious. her husband's calling 911 talking to miss williams trying up on him. now, fortunately for this woman, she's revived and she has survived this ordeal. but these are very serious accusations against someone who was entrusted with a very serious job of providing emergency assistance. and she just said she didn't have time for the callers. >> accusations, areva and also charges. two misdemeanor charges. what do you make of that? >> well, i think the law that's being used to prosecute miss williams wasn't really designed for someone in her situation.

dispatcher whose job was to provide assistance. but at least she is facing some jail time. possibly up to a year. and her supervisors are also being disciplined. >> boy, that's the last thing you expect when you call 911. >> areva, thank you. we move on to the controversy surround a top ranked tennis player. australia's nick kyrgios banned the rest of the season when he seemingly just quit during a match. take a look. [ crowd booing ] doesn't even try for it. so, patrick mcenroe, let's talk -- i mean, when you're wamping this, you -- >> horrendous. >> you played at the top level. of the sport. >> thank you for saying that. >> you have. >> that's up for debate, but, okay. >> not at all. when you see something like that -- >> well, your first reaction is one of disgust and disdain, okay, but then when you take a

realize that this really in a lot of ways from kyrgios was a cry for help. i mean to hit a serve like this, to literally tap the serve as he did is basically telling everyone that i don't care. i don't want to be here. i want no part of competing in this match. this guy has a history of doing things like this. let's also say that he's a very talented player. he's got some swagger. he's got some personality. he could be a grand slam champion if he gets his act together. so i think the atp tour did the right thing. they banned him for the rest of but they gave him an option, that if he goes to see a sports psychologist and gets some help, which i believe he needs, that he could get the ban reduced and be ready to play at the australian open start of next year. i think that was the right decision by the tour. >> maybe that will take him to the next level. >> it should. it could and i think for him he's got to look in the mirror and realize that he's got a problem. i think he realizes that and he has said in some facebook comments and some twitter comments that he realizes he

because initially, he was very combative. he was yelling at people in the crowd. people were saying you be a professional out there. he yelled at the people in the crowd. he yelled at the chair umpires and said get me out of here as quickly as i can. i mean, michael, can you imagine you letting a running back just go -- just right past you. >> no. >> no, i don't think so. >> not on purpose. >> not on purpose. >> i've been blocked, though. >> that's what this guy did, did it on purpose. that's what makes it so crazy. >> you think it's a bigger issue here. >> there's a bigger issue that he has and i think we need -- he needs to understand that there are consequences for his actions but he also needs to understand -- we need to understand in the tennis world that this guy needs some help. and we should give him some help. >> that's good of you. >> hopefully he'll heed the advice and can end up being a great player you said he could be. now, thank you, pat, areva and jon, thank you all so much. we appreciate you all. coming up in just two minutes "the price is right" is making history, the moment that had these contestants jumping for joy is coming up next. that brings back a lot of childhood memories to me.

>> reporter: today, trump is in colorado, a key battleground state. he has two stops here before heading to las vegas tonight for the debate tomorrow. amy? >> all right, tom llamas, thank you. well, the fbi and state department are denying allegations of a quid pro quo stemming from hillary clinton's e-mail scandal. according to notes from the investigation into clinton's private server, an fbi staffer accused a state department official of pressuring the bureau to declassify an e-mail about benghazi. in exchange, the state department allegedly offered t allow more fbi agents to be sent to iraq. but officials say the request to change the classification was denied and the deal never happened. well, the pentagon says iraqi troops are ahead of schedule in their fight to retake the city of mosul. the latest -- the last isis stronghold in iraq. they're being slowed by land mines and suicide bombers targeting tanks. it's expected to take days to encircle the city. the u.n. says 700,000 civilians may need help as they flee the fighting there. well, the fbi has released new images of the so-called

11 bank robberies in pennsylvania. now, he hasn't worn a straw hat in all of the robberies but he's always worn a mask. they say he may have used everything from a pickup truck to a bmw or a volvo for his getaway. and police in houston have released video of a possible kidnapping attempt in a fwroesry store. pretty scary stuff here. look at that. the man walks down the aisle and trying to pick up a 14-month-old from the shopping cart but she is buckled in, thank goodness, and then her mother sees what's happening. police are now searching for that man. and finally people keep dogs for emotional support, cats, as well. but this emotional support animal surprised everyone on a flight out of charlotte. meet daniel the emotional support duck brought on board legally by his owner. he even has little red booties there you see to protect his feet. apparently he especially enjoyed

from a super rich year for him. >> absolutely. >> i think he should go with intentional now. >> yeah, yeah, you know, maybe it doesn't really move him. >> or maybe he forgot. >> september 30th came and went. who knows. but great music if you want to check that out. then finally in "pop news" this morning, a tantalizing sneak peek at martha stewart and snoop dogg's new show. >> oh, gosh. >> yes, robin. >> i love it. >> check out this video. i mean, is this not a match made in heaven? martha showing off some moves. the partner collaborating on an interpretive brownie baking dance. >> easy. >> that is what they call it, a brownie baking dance in the new trailer for their cooking show. each episode will see snoop stew, that is what they now call themselves, snoop stew preparing a dinner party for a new set of celebrity guests, brownies included. "martha and snoop's potluck dinner party" will premiere on november 7th on vh-1. i think we got a hit on our hands. >> there's so much that could be

>> you don't really need to. snoop stew and smile. thank you, all. that's "pop news" this morning. >> looks like that will be a good time. >> funny. coming up, we have a new health guideline about exercise and diabetes. why when you work out matters and dr. besser is here.

ue psoriasis made a simple trip to the grocery store anything but simple. so i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, ave blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists.

? ? i want it all ? that tango got jana kramer a perfect score last night on "dancing with the stars." it was latin night. of course, one couple did have to come home. and we're going to talk to maks in just a little bit. >> first, though, we've got that new health headline about diabetes and exercise and why when you work out really matters. abc's chief health and medical editor dr. richard besser joining us now with that and let's say right up we're talking

>> and you've got nearly 10% of americans have this. an 1 in 3 are sort of so-called prediabetic. so that's a lot of people right there. how much exercise do people need to reduce this risk? >> so this is really interesting. they looked at 28 studies that followed thousands of people over many years to try to address that. and what they found was if you do the 30 minutes five times awea ek greatly reduces the amount -- your risk of getting type 2 diabetes. if you do more than that, your risk goes down even further but what really grabbed me was that if you do less, if you do only ten minutes a day, you get some benefit compared to people who do nothing so every bit helps. you shouldn't be put off by the fact i don't have enough time. >> right, but more is more and timing was also very important in the study, correct? >> so, a separate study looked at people who had type 2 diabetes and said, okay, you've got your 30 minutes to do, do you do it as one block or do you break it up? so they had people for one period of time do it in one

other period of time, they did ten minutes right after eating a meal. and what they found is, if you do the ten minutes, just go for a ten-minute walk after you eat your meal, it greatly reduces blood sugar. 22% lower blood sugar with just a ten-minute walk. >> the science behind common sense. >> yes, exactly, exactly. >> is that just because your engines, so to speak, are working and processing food better. >> it was always like, well, walking helps you digest but it's controlled by a hormone called insulin and when you exercise, it helps our cells use the insulin and also causes our muscles to burn up that sugar. so, you know, there's good reasons for why that balances out your sugar and it's a great thing to do. >> in addition to exercise what else can people do? >> we talk about it all the time. if you can maintain a healthy weight or if you're overweight losing just 5% of your body weight, that's enough to dramatically reduce your risk of having type 2 diabetes. it's hard to do but it's really worth that effort. >> all of it doable, too. >> it is. >> even a little bit of exercise. even a little bit of weight.

to get started. it really helps your chances of succeeding. >> good information. >> richard besser, thanks very much. coming up we'll hear from maks. he's joining us live. he's off the ballroom getting ready for diaper duty. ready for diaper duty.

you're not going to be back next season. but then when i read the reason why, i was so excited. because you're going to be at home, preparing to be ready for the baby. but are you ready for the baby in january? >> i am ready, yeah, i think -- well, i mean i think i'm ready but everybody around us seem to think that -- you know, it's always this little smirk and like, you'll find out. and so i have a list of like ten things that i'm going to find out about but i can't wait. >> well, you know what, they don't come with directions. you just have to fige as you go. >> he will and peta. yeah. what did you think about last night? >> thank you so much. >> what did you think about last night? >> i loved it. i loved -- actually i went home and watched our performance but i first saw the whole thing got sneaked up on us. the next thing you know, i look left and it's like between us and calvin johnson. and i'm like, come on. could this have been at least -- but, you know, i think everybody is doing a great job, and i was very proud of amber and us
