audience. a lot of laughs as well but, boy, it also sparked a very fierce debate online and get into that. >> it did. >> first we watch the double threat in the atlantic. two big storms developing right now, hurricane jose could bring flooding and rain to the east coast. >> and hurricane maria is threatening to hit the hard-hit caribbean. category 4 storm and could take aim at the u.s. the caribbean is already feeling the effects this morning of our chief meteorologist ginger zee is here with the latest on its path. good morning, ginger. >> robin, can you believe it. here i am talking about two hurricanes again. yes, i think jose is the first we want to focus in on because it's already happening. the images coming in from north carolina. you can see some of the rough surf that's been impacting some of the carolina coast there. that is going to move up the east coast and tomorrow especially we've got jose here, some 280 plus miles away from the coast. but you could see 12-foot waves anywhere from virginia and delaware up through new jersey, even brooklyn, 12-foot waves.

can you imagine the impact and the beach erosion. tropical storm watches for 40 to 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts as it stays enough off shore and hurricane maria. this one will intensify in the next couple of days. 48 hours really we'll talk about its approach to the u.s. virgin islands, eventually puerto rico but has to make its way through the lesser antilles as it makes those intensifications and eventually the big question does it hit florida? most of the modeling taking it away from florida. but we'll track that just as we track puerto rico's impact where we find our rob marciano this morning, rob. another big one headed so close, up to 15 to 20 inches of rain. >> it is hard to believe. our second one potentially hitting the same areas. in apuerto rico they're shuttin down government offices and st. martin, in survival mode. food, shelter and they're

passing out blue tarps to give them something and debris flying around so begging residents to pin it down with heavy rock, whatever they can. san juan has been a hub for relief and recovery efforts. that's going to come to a halt as we wait for maria. we did okay here in irma. a lot of power out. fared okay. not a direct hit but now we're looking at the potential for a category 4 direct hit and as we know from very recent experience, ginger, that's not fun for anyone. >> so active this season. we've seen the u.s. virgin islands if they see it as a major hurricane they've never had two major hurricanes hit this close to home in any season. so this is really starting to break records. >> boy, it sure is. thanks. there is high tension in the streets of st. louis for the third night nehro. protesters and police clashing after the acquittal of a white officer in the death of a blackman and kenneth moton is on the scene. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. this city is bracing for another

day of protests. vandals hit several businesses. this window already boarded up. you can see the shattered glass here. new demonstrations sparked overnight after the department of justice revealed it would not pursue federal charges in that police shooting. overnight at least 80 protesters arrested as chaos broke out in the streets of st. louis. businesses vandalized. >> tonight we made more than 80 arrests. we confiscated at least five weapons. none of them were used. some criminals assaulted law enforcement officers and threw chemicals and rocks at them. >> reporter: police say they confiscated these bottles filled with unknown chemicals used as weapons against them. protesters say they're filled with vinegar used to treat pepper spray victims. it started with the acquittal of jason stockley in the killing of a anthony lamar smith. the officer testified he had a gun and told "the st. louis dispatch" his life was

threatened. >> i did not murder anthony lamar smith. i did not plant a gun. i can tell you with absolute certainty that there was no plan to murder anthony smith during a high-speed vehicle pursuit. >>eporter: that pursuit caught on aascam, stockley and his r approached then chased the suspect who crashed into a telephone pole. stockley heard saying, quote, we're killing this expletive. the officer soon opened fire hitting smith five times. >> we have to come up with something better. this cannot consistently happen. >> reporter: during the day thousands peacefully protested. [ chanting ] star nick cannon joining the demonstrators. at least after these three nights of destruction we know that 120 suspects were arrested. also more than a dozen officers injured. this weekend big concerts were canceled. singer ed sheeran also the rock band u2 called off their performances because of security

concern, robin. >> very tense times, thank you. we turn to new developments in that london terror attack. this newly released surveillance footage may show the suspect shortly before that train bombing that injured 30 people on friday. a second man has already been arrested in connection with the attack. our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with more. >> good morning, robin. the investigation is taking some surprising turns of great concern this morning. as police in london are investigating whether the bomb that went off in the subway was meant to be something not seen before and perhaps much more dangerous and explosives designed to release deadly chemical gases. this morning the focus is on one of these row houses in the london suburb of sunburr on thames, the unlikely location of the bomb fact, police believe. it is owned by this elder di couple. penelope and ronald jones honored by the queen for serving

for foster parents from young men including some from iraq and syria. an 18-year-old who lived there is under arrest and surveillance footage made public overnight appears to show a young man leaving the home 90 minutes before the attack carrying a white bag which police believe may have contained the bomb that went off in the subway friday morning. neighbors were stunned that a foster child might take advantage of the goodness of the elderly couple. >> he was a lovery young man. you wouldn't suspect anything from him. he was polite, courteous to the old couple. >> reporter: on supplement a second young man, 21 years old was arrested nearby. seen in a video posted by our british tabloid. that second arrest led to another series of police raids at a home disturbingly clothe to heathrow airport. >> the police have made good progress with what is an ongoing operation. >> reporter: officials say the forensics of the bucket bomb placed on the subway raise new

questions about the attack. the absence of any metal suggests to bomb experts that the goal instead may have been to release a deadly chemical. given the series of four attacks in the past six months the british prime minister told george she wants a hard look at what is being done to prevent them. >> you said in the wake of the other attack, enough is enough. things need to change. it's time for even embarrassing conversations. what did you mean by that. >> well, it is necessary for us to look as we are doing at whether our police and security services have the full capabilities, the powers that they need. >> reporter: one big break in the case is the fact that the suspected bomber was captured alive. apparently as he tried to flee the country, this morning police will be pushing to learn more about the plot and the bomb, whether it was intended to be a gas attack. so far no chemical residue has been detected.

>> isis claiming responsibility. what are officials saying. >> that's true and want to know if isisng men refugees who came to great britain as foster children. >> we have to find new ways on how the knit spreads these ideas, the prime minister said. she is one of many leaders coming for the gerembly including president trump as he prepares for a packed week of diplomacy. north korea high on the agenda. the u.s. and south korea conducted joint military drills over t a new twist in the health care battle to replace and replace omalucare before the september 30th deadline and jon karl tracking it all. >>, goo. president trump quite literally takes the world stage this week appearing before the united nations, an organization he once declared is not a friend of america.

president trump is back in new york. familiar territory to be sure but for him an entirely unfamiliar forum, his debut before the united nations. a chance to address world leaders highly skeptical of his america first agenda. >> the speech is a tremendous opportunity, obviously, to reach so many world leaders at the same time. >> reporter: as a candidate, trump harshly criticized the u.n. as anti-american. >> the united nations is not a friend of democracy. it's not a friend to freedom. it's not a friend even to the united states of america. >> reporter: no issue looms larger this week than north korea. the trump administration seeks to rally support for pressuring kim jong-un to give up his nuclear weapons. >> if the united states has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way, north korea will be destroyed, and we all know that and none of us want that. none of us want war. >> reporter: overnight the u.s.

and south korea conducted joint military drills in the face of north korea's defiance. over the weekend the president took to twitter to hang a new nickname on north korea's kim jong-un. i spoke with president moon of south korea last night. asked him how rocket man is doing. long gas lines forming in north korea. too bad. the presidents' days will be packed with meeting after meeting with world leaders. it's been called the diplomatic equivalent of speed dating from hell. while he's toned down his criticism of the u.n., he'll still issue a challenge. >> the united nations has to reform to meet the goals and objectives laid out by the great secretary-general there and to be true to its charter. >> reporter: one of the biggest questions facing the president this week is what he'll do with the iran nuclear deal negotiated by president obama. the white house is strongly suggesting he may pull out of the agreement, and, george, of course, that is an agreement still strongly supported by our closest allies in europe.

>> they are pushing back very hard on that. more unity on the issue of north korea and the president's representative yesterday i was spiking with general mcmaster saying any north korean nuclear weapons are unacceptable. >> and there is a filing kim jong-un and his father before him went with confidence that the united states did not have a military option. that there was nothing the united states could or would do militarily and there is a growing sense that the president, that the administration must do something toee race that doubt. >> on the domestic front repeal and replace omalucare looked like it was dead but new effort to bring it back and have to get it done before the september 30th deadline and have to pick up a few more votes. >> the republicans are suddenly trying to get this going again and i think what is happening they have seen that president trump has been willing to work with democrats and if the republicans can't get it dong on their own, they are worried that he will go and do something with democrats that they really won't like but there's a chance but it's a tight margin.

>> jon karl, thanks very much. >> september 30th will be here before we know it. now to the history making night at the emmys honoring the best in television. the awards show highlighting women and diversity, politics also taking center stage, lara was there for it all and joins us bright and early this morning from los angeles. good morning, lara. >> good morning, my robin. yeah, it was a special night. tv's biggest night and it did not disappoint. two notes before i start with you, if you haven't watched the "the handmaid's tale" or "big little lies," you some binge-watching to do. they were the big winners and was politics referenced dozens of times in a crazy opening song and dance number by stephen colbert and politics also the reason for the night's big surprise guest. from the opening moment, politics was the theme of the night. ♪ turn on any channel well except the news ♪ >> reporter: emmy host stephen colbert kicking off the awards with a song and dance. ♪ calm yourself by watching this

[ laughter ] >> do you allow yourself to think about that stuff or are you just so psyched about the role? >> the bottom line is that this job i have is so spectacular. >> yeah. >> and this role is so through the roof that that's the true treasure. having said that i'm delighted. >> reporter: the biggest winners of the night. >> the "the handmaid's tale." >> reporter: "the handmaid's tale" taking home five emmys including best drama and hbo's female driven murder mystery "big little lies" taking home five of their own. >> this is yours. i want my little girls to have

themselves, it's a good thing but this is a pretty serious problem. every single day sean and other representatives of the administration simply didn't tell the truth. >> he showed he was willing to humiliate himself on a very big stage but he's joking about the fact that he blatantly misled the american people on his first day on the job. >> not that funny. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. back to ginger with more on hurricane jose's threats. >> maybe too soon. i'll have a lot more coming up on jose's threats that goes up to connecticut and rhode island, as well. first let's get you select cities brought to you by walmart

we are back with that extortion plot targeting kevin hart. he claims someone was demanding millions of dollars over a sexually suggestive video and now posting an emotional apology to his wife and family. abc's linsey davis has the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. just last month kevin hart took to instagram to wish his wife who he often refers to as his rib a happy one-year anniversary. then over the weekend he took to instagram again. this time to apologize to his pregnant wife for, quote, making a bad error in judgment. while comedian kevin hart is known for cracking jokes -- >> i know. >> reporter: as the funny man is taking a serious turn speaking out trying to get ahead of what his reps are calling a failed extortion attempt. >> i feel like i have a target on my back and because of that, i should make smart decisions.

and recently i didn't. >> reporter: the fbi is reportedly investigating a video showing hart with a woman who isn't his wife. an extorter allegedly demanding millions of dollars from hart. one of the highest paid comedians in the world. >> i know that i'm going to hurt the people closest to me who i talked to and apologized to. being my wife and my kids. >> reporter: hart beat the extorter to the punch posting this video on his instagram account apologizing to his family and wife eniko who is 31 wecks pregnant with their first child. >> i'm not going to lie in person to have financial gain off my mistakes and in this particular situation that's what was attempted. i said i'd rather fess up to my mistakes. >> reporter: the 38-year-old with two children from a previous marriage wed his longtime girlfriend last year but since then rumors of hart's infidelity have swirled. but in a radio interview last year, he said cheating is not a game he wants to be involved in. >> why risk it?

what am i going -- -- it's not worth it. >> reporter: the central intelligence star. >> in or out. >> then i'm out. >> reporter: isn't the first funny man to fight back against extortion. >> i have had sex with women who work for me on this show. >> reporter: in 2009 david letterman revealed live on the show while married he had several affair with some of his staffers after a former cbs producer attempted to blackmail him for $2 million. that producer pled guilty to extortion charges. >> anybody that's being extorted should never pay. you have no control at all as to whether they're going to release the information or not. >> reporter: as for hart, he's owning up to his mistakes. >> i'm not perfect. i'm not going to sit up here and say i am or claim to be in any ware, shape or form. >> reporter: hart also posted a written message to his wife and kids saying i got to do better and i will. just last month his ex-wife accused him of cheating on her with his current wife.

at that time he used social media to simply laugh off the accusation, not so much this time. george. >> different tact. let's talk about it with dan abrams. so, we just saw in the piece it worked for david letterman. will it work for kevin hart? >> i think it's what he has to do is he has to come clean, right? you can't start paying off extortion demands and open yourself up to getting another demand in six months from that. so i think that he had no choice here but to do exactly what he did, which is go public, take responsibility. >> take the hit. >> and now help lead this investigation. >> well, that's the question. do you turn it around? is this a real plot that can be prosecuted. >> look, most of the time extortion is a state crime. it seems that the fbi in this case is investigating. that could be because it was across state lines or because it's on the internet, et cetera. those are reasons it could become a potentially a federal crime but all 50 states have extortion laws. you don't have to threaten

someone physically to potentially be guilty of extortion. you can threaten to hewlett mill yacht someone and threaten to put something out there publicly to disclose that you're not being faithful to your wife in exchange for money. so it has to be a demand for something of value and threatening to do something horrible. >> but then the push, he has to weigh getting some sort of legal justice there and keeping it in the news forever. >> my guess is right now he cares a lot less about legal justice, would like this to go away but the legal justice has to go hand in hand with this. the minute that he decides i'm going to go public with this, his position has to be and i'm going to be helping. >> take it all the way. >> in the context of this investigation. it will be interesting to me, though, to continue to follow whether this just becomes a federal investigation or whether it becomes state because as i said before, most of the time extortion is something that's investigated as a state crime. >> okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. >> to robin.

thank you. coming up we'll go back to lara in l.a. because we'll have much more on the emmys. the real story behind this reaction making headlines around the world. come on back. today, we're out here with some big news about type 2 diabetes. you have type 2 diabetes, right? yes. so let me ask you this... how does diabetes affect your heart? it doesn't, does it? actually, it does. type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke.

for a second season? the cast and crew has been teasing the possibility for some time but their author speaking out saying i'm thinking about it. it's a beautiful possibility. that's all i'll say. >> it's going to happen. >> it's going to happen. more cheating, more murder, more celebration. more wars. while she kept the door open reese witherspoon had a cheeky reminder saying you already know we're liars. you shouldn't trust anything we say. we love you reese. ever since "sweet home alabama," i just love me some reese. they're going to keep us guessing. wait to see if it's legit-legit. >> my favorite line, got a baby, in a bar. >> yeah. i love reese. >> that's it. what's not to love. we love ginger so bring it on home. >> i feel better because i haven't seen that either so

national hurricane center actually just put out an update on hurricane maria a category two storm you can see it turning toward the lessor antilles and puerto rico. it could intensify and be a category four and turning away into the ocean. the intersection with jose is going to be interesting, it's going to have impact. when was the last time you saw a tropical storm up and down the east coast. >> reporter: all right, ginger we're bracing for jose, for now we're cloudy and relatively dry. there's the cloud cover over the commodore barry bridge. some of you getting into the 70s. the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast shows a high this afternoon of 80 degrees and then of course tomorrow we have the tropical storm watch in effect tonight and through tomorrow jose comes up the coast and gives us strong gusty winds along the shore front. and chea

home test to determine your risk of developing breast cancer. it tests for the brca1 and 2 gene mew takes and launches today from the company. adrienne, you were able to take a closer look. >> as you know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. that old adage. something one woman and her family holes true with a very affordable test that proved life saving. devin gant has her whole life ahead of her. the last thing she expected is to test positive for the brca2 gene which gives her a dramatically increased risk of getting breast cancer. >> kind of a black cloud, i guess. it's this thing that's kind of looming in the future. >> reporter: but there is a silver lining. g genetic tests can cost hundreds, even thousands so devin took an early version of a new test coming out called color right in

her own home at $149 it's now the least expensive genetic test for the brca1 and 2 gene os on the market. >> one out of eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime so it's very important that for women who are high risk, we wanted them to have access to the test. >> reporter: here's how it works. provide us a saliva sample and send it off to the lab. once analyzed you receive your online results in three to four week as long with a complimently consultation. any point where you felt like this was just not fair? you being 30. >> yeah. definitely. i mean it's a higher risk. it's not a guarantee. it's not a death sentence. >> reporter: devon was prompted to take it when her aunt lauren's test came back positive and doctors sent her for a life-changing mri. >> they found a couple of spots. said they didn't really think it was anything. and it came back it was cancer. >> reporter: with the gene testing and early detection,

lauren is now cancer-free. >> thank god. it would have been totally different out"come from away" probably next february when i went for my mammography. >> reporter: lauren is grateful she and devon were tested. >> now she knows and knows what she needs to do and she'll city healthy. >> reporter: devon has a mammogram and ultrasound every couple months and all their immediate family had the test done. many did tez positive for that brca gene. >> adrienne, thanks so much for bringing that to our attention and bring in dr. jen ashton right now. i now you do a lot of genetic testing in your office. tell us the importance of this. >> well, listen, genetic testing is important for people because it shows us a possible window into the future. it doesn't mean a guarantee because we know that genes are just one part of what determines someone's future health risk. behavior, environment are also important. but now people need to know we're just talking about the

brca1 and 2 mutation. it is now possible to test for over 30 gene mew takes that are associated with various types of hereditary cancer, eight or more are associated with breast cancer so while all the attention goes on brca, it is important for people to know they can have a gene mutation in other genes and it is readily available now to test for this. this is a mainstream option which i think is good news for some people. >> because it's not for everyone. >> that's correct. so who should get the test? who should not? absolutely not recommended for every single person. that's clear in why is that? >> because there are certain criteria. with any screening test it's not every single person gets screened for every single thing. when you talk about the brca mutation there's certain criteria we like people too meet. someone with a family history of someon h a positive ovarian cancer of any rage. breast cancer before the age of 50. triple negative breast cancer before the age of 60.

male breast cancer in the family at any age. people of ashkena seemnual ancestry and peopl with two or more cases of breast cancer on the same side of the family so you can see it's not, oh, if you've had a case of cancer you should have this test it works. d saliva. the demonstration, you can get it done in doctor's offices with blood tests as well. do a little spit which i'm not top on a in this bag already has a label and get bo. your results this three to four weeks. very simple. one other thing. we hear a lot about cost here. it is actually a myth that this test costs thousands of dollars if you meet criteria and have insurance it will be covered if you meet those criteria. if you don't you can still get the test covered. this is mainstream. >> what do you do if you get a

positive result. >> counseling. we have to remember men get this mutation also so this is a prolonged discussion. >> thanks. >> you bet. and we move on t with the stars." it premieres tonight and our special correspondent former "dancing" champ drew lachey is giving us an exclusive behind brother, nick, prepares to take on the ballroom. ta ♪ >> reporter: the 25th season of "dancing with the stars" has arrived. and it's a family affair. my brother nick couldn't resist giving me a hard time. >> this is the best you could come up with, right? >> i know. >> times are tough. >> reporter: rehearsal is like one big family reunion. nick's wife vanessa is competing against him dancing with maks married to peta, nick's partner. >> my husband is with another woman bumping and grinding. i'll have to be okay with it. >> reporter: separating home and ballroom can be a challenge.

you go ahead and make the tough decision and tell us who is going to do better? >> oh. that is going to make for i don't know if i'm comfortable with that. they're beet going to do well. >> okay. pull back.

famously said on the red carpet she doesn't watch tv and this is like an easiness to it, wasn't one of those things you have to corset yourself into and i thought that was appropriate for her and loved eissa ray talking about the red trend in a vera wang dress. this is a bridal gown that vera made for her in red and there are a lot of fans of her show "insecure" like myself miffed she wasn't nominated for anything and i loved that she just brought it. she was like, i'm going to win this red carpet. >> she did. >> and she did. >> and more? >> those are my two favorites and loved all the metallics. >> i loved all the in he tall licks and agree they did look fantastic. i love zoe kravitz. she looked gorgeous in that dior. so much about feathers was a big trend and had this big rainbow feather bottom on this couture gown and i loved it. it was so easy and with the short hair, it felt so

effortless. >> millennial pink. >> and i always love jessica biel. something so statuesque and glamorous about her. she really just looks like she just threw that on and left the house. she looks incredible. such an ease about her and wearing ralph & russo. the makeup was soft, tones were soft. >> another plunging neckline. >> you really like plunging necklines. >> what were the other trends. >> definitely which i was calling disco ball couture, i've never met a disco ball i didn't love and saw a ton of it. it wasn't just about silver sequins by mirrors and he will bellishments from priyanka chopra to anna chlumsky and sarah paulson but we have to talk about tracee ellis ross. she is such a fashion risk taker. >> totally. >> on the red carpet she does her thing and kind of always wins for me. >> the telestrator is coming out. >> i love my telestrator.

you have the silver belt and then, of course, you have all the glitter and, again, the feathers. the feathers. the feathers. i mean the feather bottom so beautiful and there was a hint of diana ross here. >> yeah, she's her mother's daughter there. no, i loved it. >> too bad it didn't translate. can you show everybody you did the telestrator. >> can you guys see. >> i feel like this is a classroom educating you. >> notice the belt. >> that's right. now, cindy, cindy, we did hear that lara said red. >> red, i loved this. lara, you started it. we'll give you credit but nicole did you proud in this calvin klein dress and jane fonda sliding into the red category there with a sort of reddish-pink dress back also and gina rodriguez and i think this was a year and is a year in general for powerful women and saw a lot of females at the

emmys. we're not cupcakes here. >> no, no, no. so what else did you think was the big buzz. >> everybody was talking about reese witherspoon because she typically wears america's sweetheart dresses and was wearing this power almost suit. blazer dress, dark green by stella mccartney. >> i'm a producer. >> that's what i love. i'm not just the talent here, i made this project "big little lies" happen and she was dressing like the producer. >> i love that. so what -- let's say was unexpected to you. >> i i think reese was for sure unexpected always doing the american girl next door and old hollywood but the idea you can wear a tuxedo to the emmys and really look sharp and i think what lara was saying about oprah. i love oprah and evan rachel wood. if you look at them side by side, evan 30 and oprah is 63 and both look dynamite. the fact that oprah was wearing that and i was watching her watching it all unfold and her telling me about her fittings with oprah was sump a triumphant

moment both for designer and oprah. >> a good lesson if you're wondering what to wear, wear the white tux. >> yes. >> a lot of confidence. >> yes, so much confidence and i love that people took risks. tracee ellis ross but saw that almost with everybody and that's wonderful. >> should take this act on the road. >> coming soon to a theater near you. >> don't tell us twice. >> thank you both very much. coming up, the cast of "fuller house" all here live. wow.

i think you'll be surprised by this next story. it's called a brosectomy. nick watt explains what that means. take it away, nick. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, listen, around half a million american men every year get the snip, a vasectomy. mildly or massively traumatic so welcome to the brosectomy. you do it with a buddy or a bunch of buddies. is it a solution. >> we tagged along. these two chose robe, slippers, super posh pizza. sports on tv and a suite at the aka in beverly hills. >> it's a great diverse. >> reporter: and they're ready. >> snipping, bro'ing out. >> these office mates both have

kids and don't want more. >> i'd rather do this with you than my wife to be honest. seriously, look at each other like a little tear like a dog that was fixed. >> reporter: camaraderie is the idea. it's nearly time. >> let's go. >> who is going in first. >> we don't do it at the same time. it's not like a communal vasectomy. >> you got the key? >> i got the key. >> dr. paul will operate on their bits and pieces. >> it's fast, it's quick. it's played to jazz. it's eight minutes and i move like the wind. >> reporter: it was the dashing doctor's idea. >> it came to me while surfing. i always go with somebody else. when you're in unsafe, uncomfortable situation it's nice to have a bro around. astronauts don't go to space alone, right? >> reporter: the doctor says men who get snipped with a buddy ve >> i track them every day and track painkiller use and they do better. >> reporter: the first was 2013, college buddy on a reunion.

>> they were more busy catching up than thinking mr. their pred. >> reporter: it's helping men t it done. >> my wife's been nagging me to do this for a long time. >> now the truth comes out sflif's been sitting with my legs crossed for this entire interview. partly i feel like i will be less of a man if i'm firing blanks. is that common? >> that's the best contraceptive ever developed. you need to get over it. >> they did together. >> he lived. >> i was thinking of him the whole time because, oh, he's going to have to go through. >> i wasn't thinking about him. >> reporter: brosectomy, the aftermath, t a>> you feel less ? >> no, he's doing reporter: a v not make your voice higher just means one thing and one thing only blanks. >> firing blanks. >> why not. >> cheers. >> thank you. >> now, the doctor says this should be used by dentists and other doctors where men feel

weird and alone and the cost for this brosectomy, the doctor wouldn't even say, a lot is the most i could get out of him. george. >> well, let's see if he sold it. bob, dave, pro-connect economy? >> yeah, dave and i are going to do it together. get a little orange juice. you want to come with us? >> let's go to ginger. >> it's too early. >> wow. orange juice, that will fix everything. all right that's the big picture let's get a check closer tow home. >> reporter: that dog looks like by grand dog out in seattle, brut. storm tracker 6 live double scan it's dry, it's cloudy. tomorrow that's the day jose
