00:02:22Into the weekend, but first Alec Perez starts his off at Soldier Field in Chicago where the stadium had to evacuate overnight
00:02:29Good morning, Alex
00:02:31Hey, good morning, Michael
00:02:33Yeah
00:02:33That powerful storm rolled into the region creating some major problems along the way
00:02:37Thousands of fans who had gathered here for the Beyonce concert were forced to evacuate and take shelter for hours
00:02:45My god tornadoes tearing across, Wisconsin
00:02:50I can see a swirling around and then that's when I run run inside and get in the basement
00:02:58Children spotting one from their school bus window in Juneau drone images capturing the magnitude of the damage homes
00:03:04Shredded roofs ripped right off. You can see right into the interior of what is left of those homes the damage
00:03:11Extensive downed power lines littering roads of firemen searching for anyone who may be trapped and just 10 miles from Juneau
00:03:19Mayhem in the town of Mayville damage to the power grid is so extensive the power could be out for days
00:03:25The light started flickering and the power cutouts the mayor declaring a state of emergency in Chicago fans attending Beyonce's Cowboy Carter
00:03:33concert as Soldier Field were evacuated
00:03:36Running for cover as storms pounded the area water rushing downstairs
00:03:41But the show going on Beyonce taking the stage two hours later
00:03:46And thankfully at this point there are no reports of any serious injuries that storm now headed east Rebecca
00:03:53Well, thank goodness that there are no reported injuries Alex
00:03:56Thanks for your reporting and the threat is on the move this morning ginger
00:04:00You've got the track and the timing nice to see you. It's nice to see you too
00:04:03It's on the move and it's intensifying. So yesterday what you the pictures you just saw that was level three out of five today
00:04:09We got four out of five. I'm going to show you the region that's going to have it
00:04:11It's actually starting us out this morning severe thunderstorm watch as you wake up in parts of Kentucky, Tennessee
00:04:17Arkansas and Missouri Southern, Illinois and Indiana, too
00:04:20So those severe thunderstorm warnings are the ones where you've got damaging winds happening as we speak
00:04:25This is going to clear out and then we're gonna see some sunshine take over. Don't let that deceive you
00:04:29That is fuel for the future thunderstorms that will pop up this afternoon
00:04:33You see in the boot of Missouri, we don't like seeing this those individual cells. They can twist and they can make big tornadoes
00:04:40We're talking long track tornadoes possible right there. That was 5 p.m. Now. We're at 9 p.m
00:04:44Cincinnati is getting blasted through Kentucky back to Memphis Nashville 9 10 p.m
00:04:49And then it moves east so high-end long track tornadoes possible anywhere from st
00:04:54Louis to Paducah Louisville Cincinnati Lexington and then eventually Nashville Memphis
00:04:59Beckley all the way over to the east going to get into it later tonight
00:05:02So this is just today's there's a whole slew of storms coming for the weekend. Yeah. All right. Okay, ginger
00:05:08Thank we're gonna turn out of the transit strike overnight
00:05:10That is paralyzed one of the largest train systems in the nation impacting about
00:05:14350,000 commuters transportation correspondent you beneath is in Newark, New Jersey. Good morning, Jim
00:05:20Hey George, good morning. Yeah, these engineers have been out here picketing since midnight
00:05:25Now this is a major issue because we're talking about this huge train system in and out of New York that now has been brought
00:05:32to a standstill
00:05:33This morning no deal
00:05:37New Jersey train engineers on strike
00:05:40450 union members walking off the job at midnight
00:05:43GMA talking to the chairman of their union overnight
00:05:45I certainly think it could have been avoided had New Jersey Transit, you know put on the table a
00:05:51fair and reasonable wage for their locomotive engineers
00:05:55disrupting the third largest train system in the nation and the lives of more than
00:06:00350,000 commuters some ass
00:06:03But hopefully it ends soon and we can move forward from this
00:06:08It all comes down to pay the union saying their members are the lowest paid of any major passenger railroad in the country
00:06:16interesting transits engineers are
00:06:19Upwards of 20% behind the locomotive engineers at other railroads the strike suspending all New Jersey Transit rail service
00:06:26The Transit Authority adding very limited capacity to existing commuter bus routes into New York that are close to rail stations
00:06:34But they estimate only 20% of rail customers can be accommodated on buses
00:06:40Making bad traffic even worse. We're gonna ask for your patience and
00:06:46If you're able to work from home, we'd really would ask you to do this
00:06:50But after Thursday's 15 hours of negotiations between New Jersey Transit and union members from the Brotherhood of Locomotive
00:06:58Engineers and Trainmen there's still work to be done
00:07:01Enough is enough in New Jersey Transit needs to come back to the table
00:07:07Offer the locomotive engineers a fair and reasonable wage that addresses the the wage gap
00:07:15So we told you here that the big issue is about pay the union says that the annual average salary is a
00:07:23$115,000 a year. They want that brought up to a hundred seventy thousand dollars a year. You're hearing all of the support here
00:07:29These are buses that are going by they are honking their horns here for these engineers
00:07:33But the state says that if they do that for this union
00:07:37They're gonna have to do that for other unions and that they say would bankrupt New Jersey Transit George
00:07:42Okay, Jill we're gonna go overseas now to President Trump wrapping up his four-day trip to the Middle East heading home this morning after his
00:07:48Final stop in the United Arab Emirates chief White House correspondent. Mary Bruce has been traveling the president. Good morning, Mary
00:07:56Hey George, good morning
00:07:57Well, it has been a whirlwind four days for the president a trip that has blurred the lines between diplomacy and personal financial interests
00:08:03The president now heading home on Air Force One touting billions of dollars in new investments
00:08:09This morning President Trump wrapping up his visit to the Middle East
00:08:13Four days three countries aimed at boosting business ties in wealthy Arab states a region where his own family also has major financial interests
00:08:22His final stop the United Arab Emirates the White House claiming two hundred billion dollars in deals and partnerships between the two nations
00:08:30Including a planned data center powered in part by American-made chips
00:08:34We are going to be your friend and we're gonna be your partner the UAE
00:08:38Announcing plans to invest four billion dollars to develop an aluminum smelter project in, Oklahoma. They're gonna be
00:08:44Spending a tremendous amount of money and one of my favorite places
00:08:48Oklahoma the president also touting efforts to end the war in Ukraine after urging Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Putin to meet in
00:08:56Turkey today Zelensky agreed, but Putin refused both countries instead sending representatives
00:09:02But Trump is tamping down
00:09:04Expectations for any potential progress saying no deal is likely until he meets with Putin himself
00:09:09I think it's time for us to just do it
00:09:13As soon as we can set it up the UAE like all the countries visited this week has growing ties to the Trump
00:09:19Organization now run by the president's sons the Trump cryptocurrency business recently announcing a deal including a two billion dollar
00:09:27Contribution from an affiliate of the UAE and last month Eric Trump inking plans for an exclusive Trump Golf Resort in Qatar
00:09:33The president now heading back to the US amid growing concern over his willingness to accept a four hundred million dollar
00:09:40Luxury jet as a gift from the Qatari royal family to serve as Air Force One before being transferred to his presidential library
00:09:47I've been doing this for four days. I leave now and get on to a 42 year old Boeing
00:09:53Now the deal for this jet isn't done yet
00:09:55But the president is facing increasing political pressure back home
00:09:58Even some top Republicans say this deal needs to be closely scrutinized for security and legal concerns Michael
00:10:05All right, Mary
00:10:06Thank you so much for bringing us that now to the Supreme Court where the justice has heard arguments about President Trump's executive order to
00:10:12End birthright citizenship federal judges in the lower courts have blocked the order from going into effect
00:10:18Our senior political correspondent Rachel Scott is at the Supreme Court. Good morning, Rachel
00:10:23Michael good morning to you
00:10:24And that is exactly what this case boils down to whether those lower courts can issue nationwide
00:10:28Injunctions to block the president's executive order to end birthright citizenship
00:10:33This is a case that has big implications and the Supreme Court justices appear divided over that central question
00:10:39This morning the Supreme Court appears conflicted over President Trump's controversial executive order to end the right to birthright citizenship
00:10:48Something he promised on the campaign trail just absolutely ridiculous
00:10:52You know, we'll see we think it we have very good ground
00:10:55It's a right guaranteed by the Constitution's 14th Amendment for more than 150 years
00:11:01federal judges in three states have ruled the ban is
00:11:04Unconstitutional issuing nationwide injunctions blocking it from going into effect anywhere in the country
00:11:09The administration insisting those judges should not have such broad authority
00:11:13We have the government racing from jurisdiction to jurisdiction
00:11:16Having to sort of clear the table in order to implement a new policy that argument appearing to resonate with justice Samuel Leto
00:11:23the practical problem is that there are 680 district court judges and
00:11:28They are dedicated and they are scholarly and I'm not impugning their motives in any way
00:11:34But you know, sometimes they're wrong
00:11:35But justice Sonia Sotomayor noting the Supreme Court has repeatedly reaffirmed the right to citizenship for all children born in the country
00:11:43Warning the ban could lead to a patchwork system
00:11:45So 23 states are gonna have babies move who were born somewhere else without a birth certificate
00:11:52That you're now if they move into your state gonna have to do checking on and when pressed by Justice Brett Kavanaugh the lawyer for
00:11:59The Justice Department conceding the administration hasn't fully figured out how the ban would work on the day after it goes into effect
00:12:07It's just a very practical question how it's gonna work. What do hospitals do?
00:12:12With a newborn what do states do?
00:12:16With a newborn. I don't think they do anything different
00:12:19What the executive order says in section 2 is that federal officials do not accept?
00:12:23Documents that have the wrong designation of citizenship from people who are subject to the executive
00:12:27How are they gonna know that the states can continue to the federal officials will have to figure that out. How?
00:12:35So a decision in this case is expected in June now
00:12:37The justices did appear skeptical over the president's executive order to end birthright citizenship
00:12:42But the administration did not ask them to take up that larger issue for now, Rebecca. All right, Rachel. Thank you
00:12:48We're gonna turn now to the Sean Diddy Combs trial
00:12:51The prosecution's star witness is expected back on the stand this morning chief investigative correspondent. Eric Guterski is at the court
00:12:59Good morning, Aaron
00:13:01Good morning, Rebecca
00:13:02There has never been testimony in federal court quite like what we've heard this first week of the Sean Combs trial
00:13:08It has been graphic and disturbing and painful and Cassie Ventura hopes to finish with hers by the end of the day
00:13:16This morning Cassie Ventura nears the end of cross-examination by lawyers for her ex-boyfriend
00:13:21Sean Combs his attorneys confronting her with dozens of her own text messages many
00:13:26Explicit hoping to convince the jury she met his sexual demands by consent not coercion
00:13:31I'm always ready to freak off one message said Ventura said she was trying to escape one of those alleged drug-fueled sex
00:13:38Performances in 2016 at a Los Angeles hotel when Combs was caught on security camera throwing her down and kicking her
00:13:45The defense said that encounter was her idea showing a text message from days earlier, baby
00:13:50I want to fo so bad
00:13:52You proposed a freak off a defense attorney said you kept asking him Combs his lawyer said he overdosed on painkillers in
00:14:002012 asking Ventura were the worst years associated in any way with his drug use
00:14:05Yeah
00:14:05I would say the defense hoping to convince the jury Combs became violent not to strong-arm Ventura into sex
00:14:11But because he was an addict Ventura admitted to being jealous of Combs his relationship with the late Kim Porter mother of his three children
00:14:19Combs dedicated his 2022 BET Lifetime Achievement performance to her. I just miss Kim y'all, you know, I'm saying and
00:14:27I know we all go through grief, but I miss Kim so much
00:14:31But Combs could be jealous to Ventura said his reaction was a little scary when he found out she was dating actor
00:14:37Michael B Jordan outside court Ventura's attorneys upbeat
00:14:43Was ready and I think she's demonstrating that the facts are the facts the text of the text and
00:14:49I think that the evidence will be clear as the case goes on and Cassie's testimony goes on and we'll see what the jury does
00:14:56the next witness called here could be Don Richard a member of Diddy's Danity Kane and guys the
00:15:02Defended himself Sean Combs has been an active listener in court scribbling notes to his attorneys
00:15:07He faces the prospect of decades in prison if convicted George. Okay, Aaron. Thanks very much
00:15:12We're gonna switch gears right now for what could be my favorite part of the morning Sam champion covering the NBA playoffs
00:15:19George
00:15:21Please do Michael if you'll submit him in advance. So you said sports I came a-running that sports right there
00:15:26You know, there's nothing more exciting than a game seven. I always say that usually early in the morning

00:15:47Yeah on the court including this beautiful guys. No look pass
00:15:53See Jamal Murray fought through he didn't he woke up not feeling so well in the morning
00:15:57But he fought through that illness scored 25 points to help his team stay alive
00:16:00Game seven is Sunday in Oklahoma City with the Minnesota Timberwolves standing by to play the winner any questions
00:16:09No, no, great. Great. That was awesome
00:16:12Great

00:16:32Cheering now if they do it, it would be the first conference finals in about 25 years 25 26 years now

00:17:49J Fox has big news about a big return Sam will have the details just ahead in pop news where we're going
00:17:56We don't need roads
00:17:57We do not first knew at 730 the FAA is investigating an alarming air traffic control outage near Denver
00:18:03Leaving pilots and tower controllers unable to communicate for nearly 90 seconds
00:18:08Officials say there were no impacts to operations this after a series of system-wide outages at Newark Liberty Airport just last month
00:18:14Also, Florida's become the second state to ban fluoride from public drinking water following Utah's lead
00:18:19Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law that goes into effect in July
00:18:22Many major public health groups say drinking fluoridated water reduces tooth decay
00:18:26And after going missing for nearly three weeks and a hiker in California's here in Nevada
00:18:30Mountains was found safe and sound 27 year old Tiffany Slayton took refuge inside a remote cabin after she got lost stayed there until
00:18:38The cabin's owner found her searchers had been unable to reach the area because the roads were snowed in
00:18:42Deputies say she was hungry and a little dehydrated, but otherwise in good shape Michael. All right. Thank you, George
00:18:48I am here now with a man who is widely considered to be the greatest football coach of all time
00:18:53Bill Belichick has won six Super Bowl that the head coach at a New England Patriots and he's won two more at the defensive
00:18:59Coordinator of my former team the New York Giants
00:19:02Well now he's written a book called the art of winning lessons from my life and football coach. Welcome to GMA
00:19:12Thank you, thank you great to be here I appreciate you not wearing your rings. Yeah, I'm not gonna wear the ring
00:19:17I only got one you got eight. I just pointed out there and you wrote this book
00:19:21We're gonna talk about the book right now because it's sitting there right next to you
00:19:25It's not only a playbook for the game of football. It's a playbook for the game of life
00:19:29So I'm just curious. Why now? Why did you decide to write this book? Well, I had an opportunity to do it
00:19:33I've thought about it, you know several years ago and it just
00:19:36You know when you're in a moment, you're in the season. It's just even in there is no offseason
00:19:40Yeah, you know, you're just you're just running, you know, you're on the treadmill and you're running
00:19:44so last year I had a little more time to do it and
00:19:47It just you know, I was able to collect some thoughts brought back a lot of good memories
00:19:51Some not so good ones, you know of you sacking us and all that
00:19:54but it was a you know, it was a great great opportunity to you know, just get some thoughts on paper and
00:20:00put it together and
00:20:02Again, it's not about how to live your life
00:20:04It's kind of how I did my job and if there's a lesson in it for somebody great and hopefully there's some entertaining stories
00:20:09But you got a lot of lessons. You got a lot of entertaining stories and you dedicate a few special play pages
00:20:15So like people along the way page 199 is dedicated to your
00:20:20199th pick in
00:20:222000 drafts Tom Brady and you say he you share a story about something that you heard him say or he said earlier that you've never
00:20:28Shared before what was that?
00:20:33Which one the one about in the hallway would have scored 40. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah
00:20:39I'll look after every game Tom always was you know
00:20:43We left a lot of points on the field we can be better
00:20:46We might win by 30 and it'd be like, you know, we could have won by another 20, you know
00:20:50I missed this pass we missed that play, you know
00:20:53He's always striving for perfection and think about Tom you think about improvement. That's really what football is about you play once a week
00:20:59You got six days to prepare six days to improve and get ready for the game, you know
00:21:03Tom Brady was a fourth string quarterback
00:21:05I mean who has a fourth string quarterback and ended up being the greatest player, you know of all time
00:21:10And so that's a lot of work. That's a lot of dedication and that's a lot of a lot of commitment and discipline. So
00:21:16You know, he's really the the poster boy for improvement and and inconsistency and the goat
00:21:22I mean what he did and what you two did together was with has been unmatched and probably would not be matched
00:21:27By anyone and the fact that he's in the hallway going I would have scored 40, you know
00:21:31But not sharing it publicly. That's how his private
00:21:34Confidence that he had in himself and you had a lot of career-defining moments six Super Bowl victories as a head coach
00:21:40But you say in the book, there's no such thing as the big game. I
00:21:47I'm trying to understand that one. There's no such thing as the big game. What do you mean by that?
00:21:51Well, we played in our stadium and practiced in our stadium, right? Everything was done in the stadium
00:21:57So every time we walked into the building it was the same every day do your job work hard
00:22:04Pay attention to details and put the team first and it didn't matter whether it was OTAs in the spring or was the AFC
00:22:10Championship game our message and our job was the same every day make the most out every day, you know
00:22:15Work hard be attentive put the team first and most importantly do your job and do it
00:22:21Well, and so we never felt like all the moments too big for us
00:22:24We haven't been here before a lot of the things we did in practice were harder in the game
00:22:28You know
00:22:28like spraying the balls with silicone to make them harder to handle turning up the noise so you couldn't hear anything and
00:22:34Putting 30 seconds on the 42nd clock instead of 40
00:22:37So the offense had to operate quicker. We try to make a little bit harder in practice and wasn't the game and so
00:22:43We talked about the big games a lot of times those moments
00:22:46Hopefully we'd already, you know, we already experienced or something even a little more difficult the silicone balls. They hated those
00:22:52Well, I see right now that was a secret. I wish I'd known that secret a long time ago
00:22:56But it's evident that you love coaching and you're a leader and you always say that a leader doesn't doesn't
00:23:03Know what do you don't say what you need to say you say what your team needs to hear
00:23:08So for somebody in their personal life or their professional life, how does that work?
00:23:12How do they know what the team needs to hear?
00:23:15Well, I'd say, you know as a coach when things are going well, you're getting a lot of praise
00:23:19Everybody's just just heaping the praise on and I was really the voice to bring things down
00:23:25It's like well, we're not as good as everybody's saying we are here's all the things that we're not doing
00:23:28Well, we need to do better and vice versa things aren't going well
00:23:30Everybody's there's a lot of criticism. Everybody's upset
00:23:34But you know actually we're doing enough things good enough to win or we're doing some things good enough to win
00:23:39But not enough and we got to get these other things up to where they need to be and then we'll be okay
00:23:43So I always try to be the balance on that when things were bad. I try to be positive when things were good
00:23:48I had a way of trying to bring things down and say look, it's don't believe the hype
00:23:53We still got a lot of work to do. Yeah, we've seen a lot of those interviews coach
00:23:57University, North Carolina, you're now the new head coach. Your dad was the coach there. Did that Steve?
00:24:031953 to
00:24:051955 how they feel for you to follow in your father's legacy. It feels great. It really feels great
00:24:10You know, I grew up around college football at the Naval Academy and some of the great teams there
00:24:14Especially the 63 team 60 team great, you know, great teams are great players. They're you know, stallback Tom Lynch
00:24:20You know Pat Donnelly and those guys and they were great leaders great people and great inspirations to me and I learned a lot from from watching them
00:24:27And so I've always kind of tried to make my team look like those teams the kind of teamwork camaraderie communication
00:24:33Toughness and resilience that those guys had and of course those are the days where you had two-way players
00:24:39So you only had half as much practice time
00:24:41So the efficiency that the coaches had to be able to do that was really important to me
00:24:45So the efficiency that the coaches had in practice to get a full practice in offense defense and the kicking game with the same guys
00:24:52Was was pretty good. So, you know, I learned a lot there and and so it's great to be in college working with young kids
00:24:59Do you have to change your coaching style from pros to college? You know, not too much because they're so they're so eager
00:25:04They're hungry. They have dreams. They want to be good
00:25:06I want to help make them good and I want to help make them, you know, make them good on a good team
00:25:10So it's really been exciting to work with these guys
00:25:13Some of them don't have bad habits either and you can start to mold some of them now
00:25:17Some of them don't have some of the good experience habits that a great player has but
00:25:21It's great to work with them. They've been very enthusiastic and we've made a lot of progress a long way to go. Of course
00:25:27Yeah, I mean college kids are learning but you've had a transformation since your coaching days with the Patriots
00:25:33You you've done some things. I never thought I'd see you do before you had gigs on TV
00:25:36You're putting your personal life out on social media. Now you went back to college to coach
00:25:41So what would the Patriots Bill Belichick say to the UNC Bill Belichick kind of advice? Would you have if you had any?
00:25:51Again for me it's all about learning, you know, I learn every day and I've learned so much being back in the college
00:25:56Environment with whether it be recruiting the college game the rules the hash marks some strategy
00:26:02And just putting a team together, but I've learned a lot I learn every day. I've got a great staff, you know
00:26:06Michael Lombardi's done a great job for me in terms of bringing the personnel side of it together and and you know us having
00:26:12A shared vision kind of like we had in the NFL, you know, we have a coach general manager model
00:26:16and so that's been great as well to work with him and to
00:26:20You know go through the process of you know, reacclimating to a little bit of it
00:26:23It's football still football, but there's certainly some differences and and I think it's been great
00:26:29Football still football, but there's certainly some differences and it'll be interesting to see how the whole house settlement comes out
00:26:35With what the rules are exactly with roster size and and you know compensation for the players and IL and all that
00:26:42and in trying to figure out how to maximize
00:26:45you know giving the players the
00:26:47You know the financial rewards they deserve at the same time maintaining the competitive balance on your team
00:26:52You know like we had to do with salary cap in the NFL
00:26:54Yeah, and I know that a lot has been made also in a professional life
00:26:58But also of your personal life because it's built over
00:27:00Into your professional life in a lot of ways and a lot has been made about your relationship with Jordan Hudson
00:27:05They've been getting a lot of attention. She isn't here this morning
00:27:09But what do you think about all the attention that your relationship has been getting?
00:27:13Yeah, well, she's been terrific, you know through the whole process and she's been very helpful to me
00:27:17She does the business things that don't relate to North Carolina that come up in my life
00:27:21So I can concentrate on football and and that's really what I want to do, you know
00:27:25I acknowledged her in the book
00:27:26She was very helpful on that with the with the tribute pages and also
00:27:29given a perspective of the book from kind of a business side, you know, sometimes I get a little football technical and
00:27:35And so, you know, she did a good job of keep me on balance there. So what did what did Jordan mean to you?
00:27:41Well, we have good personal relationship and you know, I'm not talking about personal relationships Michael, you know that okay
00:27:46I know that good. I'm saying are you happy? Yeah
00:27:49You look happy, yeah, I never thought I thought I see you doing yoga
00:27:58Only happy people do yoga
00:27:59Well, I know a lot's been made about all of this and I just hope that the focus gets back on you and you're huge
00:28:05If you're happy, we're all happy for you not pursuing it Mike and I wish you well at UNC
00:28:09Good luck this year coaching and the art of winning, you know a lot about that and I appreciate you being here this morning
00:28:16Yeah, thank you. Appreciate the opportunity. Thanks a lot. All right coach. The art of winning is available now
00:28:21Make sure you go out and check it out
00:28:23All right, we are back now and Sam is here with our play of the day. They call you shake the potamus, right?
00:28:34Sure, no, you guys got to stop because even during the commercial break Mike was like there were a lot of aces on that
00:28:40I'm like, yes, Michael. Sure. It's the second major and what is that shake? I don't know
00:28:45It's the second major of the year. The PGA Championship has begun in Quail Hollow in beautiful, South Charlotte North, North Carolina
00:28:51There have already been some incredible shots and I want to show you this including Justin Thomas who takes off his shoe
00:28:57Gets down into some of that beautiful turf and beautiful water around gorgeous, North Carolina
00:29:04Puts his foot in the water and makes that shot chips it is that right on to the green?
00:29:08Is that right and that's within putting range, right? How do you do that?
00:29:12George could we couldn't do I probably could have that been a lot of trouble
00:29:18It's Justin Thomas, right guys one majors is great. All right now take a look at this one Eric Cole on the fourth hole of day
00:29:24one, um, this is
00:29:27beautiful
00:29:29Take a look
00:29:33That's an ace that's what Michael said
00:29:35There's a lot of aces and now we see that a hole-in-one for the 16-year pro from Palm Springs, California
00:29:39How about some pure jaw-dropping distance check out Shane Lowry on the fourth hole everybody close up to the screen right here
00:29:49That is a six-story building away from the actual place that the ball goes into whatever that's called
00:29:56The Irishman is that called hooping a putt? It's called a hole
00:30:01Go to the cup. All right, you know, I'll be a 68 feet. I've seen George do that
00:30:06You play golf with George just like watching the Masters Oh George, all right so much fun making so much fun of me
00:30:19Michael talks with another one of my favorite people Stanley Choochee
00:30:28Good morning Americans 8 a.m. Tornado outbreak overnight 11 twisters reported tearing through four states
00:30:36This morning more than 70 million Americans in the storm zone right now ginger and our team tracking it all
00:30:43breaking overnight on strike
00:30:47One of the largest train systems in the nation paralyzed impacting more than 350,000 commuters
00:30:56Medical breakthrough meet baby KJ
00:30:59Diagnosed with a rare disorder at just one week old now. He's the first child ever saved by a highly personalized
00:31:07Genetic treatment. Dr. Nerula breaks down how it works and how it has the potential to help countless others
00:31:15One on one with Stanley Choochee, whoa
00:31:19That is delicious
00:31:21Speaking out about his health his new show and what he's saying about Nigel
00:31:30Plus the Lion King casting a spell how they channeled Lady Gaga
00:31:40And it's a magical morning we're kicking off Disneyland 70th anniversary celebration
00:31:45With some people who make it the happiest place on earth
00:31:48Plus we have one Disney size surprise as we say
00:32:00Live from Times Square, it's Friday. Good morning, America
00:32:05Good morning, America. We won't try to do that
00:32:07But that was impressive will read is what nine Disney characters who are dressed to the nines for our celebration of 70 years
00:32:14Of Disneyland. Hey, we'll
00:32:18Having so much fun
00:32:19I'm with some of your favorite characters including
00:32:21Mickey and Minnie and all the rest outside of the Sleeping Beauty castle and coming to you live from the Disney World
00:32:26All the rest outside of the Sleeping Beauty castle and coming up this hour
00:32:29We're gonna take you behind the scenes here at Disneyland
00:32:32We introduce you to some of the people who make the magic happen for 70 years and way into the future
00:32:38Can't wait to show you all that coming up. We are very much looking forward to that
00:32:41Well, we also have some magic here in Times Square to take a look at our hidden camera
00:32:47That is principal Nikita Philpott of Bronx Prep Middle School
00:32:51She's here and her students had her biggest cheerleaders
00:32:55But she doesn't know that her students are here to cheer her on this morning. I love it when we do these surprises
00:33:02They're so real
00:33:06First look at the top stories breaking day. We start with the tornado outbreak overnight
00:33:1011 twisters reported in four states. The threat is not over. Ginger's tracking it all. Good morning, Ginger
00:33:15Hey George more than 255 severe storm reports overall included those 11 reported tornadoes
00:33:20Just stunning and textbook look in tornado there in New Richmond, Wisconsin
00:33:24They'll get out and do the survey today
00:33:26The good news is only minor injuries from all of these reported so far and no one killed
00:33:31Do you know Wisconsin the roofs ripped you can see the contents of those homes. Unfortunately this morning
00:33:36We're already waking up in Kentucky parts of southern, Indiana, Illinois and western, Tennessee
00:33:41Northeastern Arkansas and southeastern Missouri with severe thunderstorms that watch goes for a little bit here yet and then by this afternoon
00:33:47We'll reinvigorate the atmosphere again, southeastern, Missouri right through Kentucky, Cincinnati gets blasted Louisville, Lexington
00:33:53Paducah close to Nashville and st. Louis all in the level four out of five for severe storms
00:33:59We're talking about long track tornadoes. This is gonna be even worse potentially today Michael boy. All right, Ginger
00:34:04Thank you for that now to the transit strike overnight that has paralyzed one of the largest train systems in the nation
00:34:11impacting about
00:34:123,000 commuters, let's go back to transportation correspondent Gio Benitez in Newark, New Jersey. Good morning again Gio
00:34:20Hey Michael, good morning again
00:34:22Yeah, as you just said this is a train system that hundreds of thousands of people use and now this morning
00:34:27It's at a standstill
00:34:30This morning no deal
00:34:33New Jersey train engineers on strike
00:34:36450 union members walking off the job at midnight
00:34:39Disrupting the third largest train system in the nation and the lives of more than 350,000 commuters. It's a mess
00:34:47But hopefully it ends soon and we can move forward from this
00:34:50I spoke with a VP of the Union just moments ago. You were in that negotiation meeting for 15 hours, correct? What happened?
00:34:57We thought we were very close to a deal. We were hoping to get this done
00:35:02We knew they were gonna try to do a press conference
00:35:05Seemed like everybody was pushing we gave them our last offer. We thought it was going to be one that they couldn't be acceptable
00:35:13After a few minutes, they came back in the room
00:35:15Thanked us for what we did but said they're not talking anymore and they got up and walked out
00:35:22It all comes down to pay the Union saying their members are the lowest paid of any major
00:35:27Passenger railroad in the country the strike suspending all New Jersey Transit Rail service
00:35:33We're gonna ask for your patience and if you're able to work from home, we really would ask you to do this
00:35:42So what happens next well, we're told the next meeting doesn't happen until Sunday
00:35:46So commuters won't be able to use this railroad for days, perhaps even longer Rebecca. Yeah a lot of chaos in the meantime
00:35:52Geo, thank you. We turn now to this year's Memorial Day sales
00:35:57It's one of the biggest long weekend discounting events of the year
00:36:00But with tariffs causing whiplash for retailers and consumers Becky Worley joins us with what to expect on the sales
00:36:07Hey, Becky
00:36:09Hey, Rebecca, and that economic whiplash is right. Some retailers have stockpiled lots of inventory pre tariffs
00:36:16They may be thinking sale others have had to import during tariffs and are putting markups on products
00:36:22Walmart just provided a good perspective in their earnings call on how retailers will handle tariffs saying we will do our best to keep
00:36:29Our prices as low as possible, but given the magnitude of the tariffs even at the reduced levels announced this week
00:36:35we are not able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of
00:36:40Narrow retail margins and think about this even with the current 90-day pause
00:36:45Reduction in tariffs the effective overall tariff rate for Chinese products is still about
00:36:5117.8 percent it was 2.5 percent as recently as January
00:36:56So timing aside from things like food tariffed merchandise won't probably come to market until later this summer
00:37:02So this Memorial Day think about the items you might need in the next six months that could be hit by these price increases
00:37:09So whatever you are buying, it's a good idea to comparison shop check historical prices and ask yourself
00:37:16Do you really need to buy?
00:37:18All right. All right, Becky. Thank you so much for that. And as we know prices will be going up now to new attention
00:37:26on creatine to supplement bodybuilders made famous in that is now all the rage after new article in the Wall Street Journal said it could
00:37:33Be key for improving your health and longevity, especially for women. Dr
00:37:37Terry Nerula is back now to break it down for us and duck. Good morning to you and
00:37:41What exactly is creatine and what role does it play in our bodies?
00:37:45This is probably the most popular performance enhancing supplement. It's been around since the 90s
00:37:49It's a billion dollar market. And as you said it is all over social media. So it is a naturally occurring substance
00:37:55We make it in our liver and kidneys. You need about two grams per day
00:37:59We make a gram and then we usually eat a gram that typically comes from meat or fish
00:38:03So if you get a pound of meat, you're gonna add a gram of creatine and essentially what it is is an energy supplement
00:38:10It is replenishing helping us to build ATP, which is kind of the cellular building block for energy and our muscles
00:38:1695% of it is stored in our muscles. We do find some of it in our brain
00:38:20So it is very helpful for those short bursts of high-intensity exercise. So football
00:38:25Sprinting weightlifting. It has not been shown to be as effective for endurance athletics
00:38:30But interestingly professional associations like the NCAA the IOC all allow creatine
00:38:36And actually the International Society for Sports Nutrition says it is probably the most effective performance enhancing supplement for high-intensity
00:38:43Exercise. Wow, that's good. You know, we said we need two milligrams two grams two gram two gram who should be taking it though
00:38:48Great question
00:38:49So we talked a lot about athletes
00:38:51But there is some data to suggest that even seniors who are at risk of losing muscle may benefit from this
00:38:56We also know that creatine has some benefits in terms of the research for cognition preventing neurodegenerative diseases and
00:39:01We also think about women, although most of the research has been on men
00:39:05And so when you think about safety, we always worry about that with supplements because they're not regulated by the fda
00:39:09But this does seem to be safe. The most common side effect is waking from water retention
00:39:14But we typically say if you're going to buy it look for one that is nsf certified
00:39:18So third-party certified for safety and quality in terms of how it works
00:39:22You usually buy a powder like this one and you would mix it in with water
00:39:25Typically you would do either a loading dose of 20 grams per week followed by a maintenance dose of about two to five grams per day
00:39:32Other people just start with the two to five grams per day
00:39:35You want to look for the micronized creatine because it dissolves better creatine monohydrate is the type
00:39:40Typically do it with a room temperature liquid not with a caffeinated beverage
00:39:44And if you take it with some sort of carbohydrate or protein
00:39:48You're not going to get the same results
00:39:50If you're using it for the brain health, you may need higher levels
00:39:53The data has shown more like eight to ten grams per day
00:39:56It sounds like it's hard to get enough. Naturally. You said a pound of meat if you're vegetarian, right?
00:40:00Like i'm almost mostly vegetarian, so I probably am creatine deficient
00:40:04But yes, I think for people who don't need a lot of meat or fish you may run low for sure
00:40:09But don't overdo it either but don't overdo it
00:40:11And if you're using it for the brain health, you may need a higher level of creatine
00:40:16You may run low for sure but don't overdo it either but don't overdo it don't overdo anything. Yes
00:40:22That's good
00:40:25Coming up in our gma morning menu
00:40:27Meet baby kj unbelievable story issues. He has diagnosed with a rare disorder. Just one week old now
00:40:32He's the first child ever saved by a highly personalized genetic treatment can help so many others as well
00:40:38Plus also ahead a return to tv and a reunion for michael j fox
00:40:42The details are coming up in pop news plus my conversation with stanley tucci
00:40:47Oh, he's so great movies and now he's great at the culinary travel guide his new show tucci in italy
00:40:54Well, I asked him which of his movie characters he'd like most like to share a meal with
00:40:58Yeah, wait till you hear who he said that is coming up and sam you're hanging out with tori johnson
00:41:04Hey you two I am michael. Can we travel with stanley tucci too? Can we all just go?
00:41:09Um, bring the glow tori bring the glow I am ready for the glow you're telling me you already use that number seven
00:41:16I do use the seven and I don't use anything you are blowing
00:41:19Look at this and it's all for under five dollars that's coming up right here on gma bring the glow
00:41:28We are back with our gma cover story a major medical breakthrough
00:41:32Stunning procedure that saved an infant named kj offers hope for so many others our chief medical correspondent. Dr
00:41:37Kenny rules back. What a story. This is this is incredible when kj was a week old
00:41:43He was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that affects just one in 1.3 million babies often with a life-threatening outcome
00:41:50Thanks to highly personalized genetic treatment kj and his doctors have blazed a new trail that could help so many
00:41:58This morning a groundbreaking gene editing therapy that's given nine-month-old kj muldoon a second shot at life
00:42:05It's all been a miracle that's the only way to describe
00:42:09Just days after he was born kj was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called cps-1 deficiency
00:42:15Which causes ammonia to build up in the blood and can lead to brain injury
00:42:20Unfortunately about 50 of babies pass away from this disease in the first week of life
00:42:25The standard of care for the disorder is a liver transplant, but kj's doctors at children's hospital of philadelphia had another idea
00:42:33They could try to correct the error in his dna that was causing his disease
00:42:38I had this like profound feeling that like this is going to be the thing that helps, you know
00:42:45Change his life kj's doctors working in collaboration with researchers and clinicians to create a personalized treatment for him
00:42:53Using what's called crisper or base editor technology the first time it's ever been used in a child
00:42:59And when these particles are put into the bloodstream and the liver cells take up
00:43:04These particles and now they have the instructions to make the base editor
00:43:07And once they've made that base editor inside the cells it knows where to go and it fixes it
00:43:13Kj received his first infusion in february just over six months after his diagnosis
00:43:19By the next day he was up laughing
00:43:22Looking around playing with his toys like nothing ever happened
00:43:25Kj's doctors say he has been successfully treated after three infusions of the therapy
00:43:31Hitting his milestones growing and thriving. They were huge eagles fans
00:43:35And um the day he was born
00:43:37I ordered a jalen hirsch jersey and I just didn't know if he was ever going to wear it just to
00:43:43See him do these things that we never thought they were possible have been inspiring
00:43:49Estimates show there are more than 7 000 rare diseases affecting 30 million people in the u.s
00:43:54A similar approach with technology like this could treat hundreds of thousands of genetic diseases
00:43:59Like sickle cell cystic fibrosis huntington's disease and muscular dystrophy. There's just so much potential here
00:44:06There is I mean it's there are moments in medicine as a doctor where you sit back and you say this is a turning point
00:44:11This is really miraculous. We are headed in a new direction to be able to create precision tailored. Dr
00:44:16Musonero called it bespoke medicine that can be made so quickly at a low cost that drug companies will want to do this
00:44:24I mean, this is incredible to be at this point
00:44:26You know
00:44:26The doctors and scientists who worked on this said that they really believe that this is the most significant thing they've ever done
00:44:32And I think you know as a physician the greatest thing is this changed the conversation from
00:44:38Doctors walking into a room of this family and saying would you like to make your child comfort measures end of life care?
00:44:44To now being able to give this family and this baby hope and a new life
00:44:48I mean, it's it is just life-changing when this started we all went what?

00:52:07Because as stanley says the best way to understand the country is through its food
00:52:12Yep, and I sat down with the oscar grammy and tony nominee best way to understand stanley is through his love of italy
00:52:21All right, everyone gird your loins for decades actor
00:52:24Stanley tucci has brought iconic characters to life on the big screen
00:52:28I could never become pope in these circumstances a stolen document the smearing of a brother cardinal
00:52:33I'd be the richard nixon of popes and on the small screen. He shares his love of everything italy on social media
00:52:40I decided to make like a quick bolognese and now in his new national geographic docu-series tucci in italy. Whoa
00:52:49That is delicious, oh man stomach wow now i'm
00:52:55I'm more hungry me too
00:52:58Italy's such a famous place in so many well-known landmarks. Why don't you kind of go off the beaten path?
00:53:04Well because people know the landmarks, you know what I mean when you go to a country you go to a city and you're like
00:53:10Okay, where do I eat and I always think you go like where do the locals go?
00:53:14Like yeah, where does the plumber go to eat where I think particularly in italy?
00:53:19You're going to get the best food where the working men and women go and eat
00:53:22And they all look very happy to work in men and women. So they're eating some good stuff. Exactly. Nice. You smell that?
00:53:30You recently spoke about some of the challenges that you had you developed thyroid issues from throat cancer that you had seven years ago
00:53:37What made you want to speak more about that? Well, I just think it's a part of my life
00:53:41I mean when we were filming this show, I just kept
00:53:44By one o'clock i'd be like i'm so tired
00:53:46And I have to keep going and taking naps and I was like something's really wrong with me
00:53:50And you didn't know what it was. No, but I knew something was wrong
00:53:53And I went to the doctor. He's like your thyroid's just like
00:53:57It's over
00:53:58so he said just take this pill and
00:54:01two days later
00:54:02Fine two days later. Yeah, like literally within two days. I started to feel better
00:54:07And then when we spoke last time was 2022 you had difficulty swallowing yeah and even eating certain foods
00:54:14Which seems to be tough on the show where you gotta eat a lot. Yeah
00:54:19Yeah
00:54:22It's improved to a certain extent
00:54:24But still there are things that I have difficulty eating so i'll eat more slowly, which isn't a bad thing
00:54:28Yeah, but there are certain things I still can't eat over four decades in hollywood
00:54:33But a lot of people know you more in some ways for your love of food, yeah, I don't travel I know it eclipsed
00:54:41That's like a career pivot. How does that feel? It feels great. It feels
00:54:46Exciting because I love food and I want to share food with people not just literally share with them
00:54:51but you know via the
00:54:53Via instagram via the show via whatever and I think it's a really wonderful thing if we were going to sit down
00:54:59Yeah, and I was like stanley. I am so hungry right now
00:55:03I want something really good. What are you gonna feed lasagna bolognese? I'm not gonna be mad at you. Yeah
00:55:09Hey
00:55:10speaking my language
00:55:12lasagna bolognese
00:55:13typifies
00:55:15Italy in a way in one dish it has pasta
00:55:19It has meat and it's all fresh ingredients
00:55:22and
00:55:24It also the colors are the colors of the italian flag
00:55:28The pasta and the bechamel are white
00:55:30The tomato is red and you also have green in there because you're making it with the spinach pasta, too

01:03:07High the way I think of myself at all really because of her because she's really been there
01:03:10She's a person that will sit here and encourage you to do things that you feel like you can't do
01:03:14Even love you as like who you are, especially as she's a basketball coach. She will tell you to be yourself on the court
01:03:20Just you know express yourself. She's dedicated
01:03:24She's committed. Um, very very passionate
01:03:28She definitely does a great job of pouring into not only myself, but all the staff here everything that she does is about
01:03:35Taking her coaching skills and putting it into education and just meshing it together
01:03:39That's who she is as a person here's a true inspiration on and off the court

01:04:18Thank you for all that you do and thank you for being that coach
01:04:22What you do lady matters madam principal it does and you can see it in those people
01:04:27So, how does it feel? Thank you, by the way for being here and I apologize for not exactly telling you the truth on getting here
01:04:32But how does it feel to have I mean to watch a video like that because you work so hard
01:04:36But to know that your colleagues and your students feel it what you put in
01:04:40That's amazing. That is the goal every day is to ensure that i'm showing up better than yesterday
01:04:47And I want to always make sure that i'm leaving an impact
01:04:51On the scholars on the team so that they can continue to leave impacts on others
01:04:56Because it's important that we continue to pay it forward so that everyone can grow and be their best
01:05:00When you show people that you can make a difference, they know they can make a difference
01:05:04It's so amazing that you have that courage we couldn't celebrate
01:05:07Without them. So come on out. I mean we do have some students here and I told you again that they were from another school
01:05:13But they're actually from your school. Come on out everybody. Come on out. Come on surround us. Welcome in welcome

01:05:40um empathy
01:05:41Um, I would say empathy because um when you're thinking about the experience of children
01:05:47It's different for them every day and what we went through in our experience as children. It changes it evolves, right?
01:05:53So it's important for me to make sure that i'm always considering
01:05:56What they're going through and always attempting to walk in their shoes so that I can be responsive to their needs
01:06:01And so I think empathy is the greatest thing that i've learned. It's essential to their growth

01:08:07Um, it feels like I am now in a space where I can prove to these young people behind them that hard work pays off
01:08:14And as long as you stay dedicated and committed to the things that you are passionate about
01:08:18It will always work out in your favor. So you guys see it now. Yeah, you do see it now
01:08:23And is it a voice inside you or did someone teach you this
01:08:28Um, so I was raised by a very strong woman. Um, her name was helen wheeler
01:08:35Um, she was my grandmother
01:08:37Um, and she pretty much made sure that I always knew to be kind compassionate but to be determined and so
01:08:45Every time that I speak to a child, um, and there's this new event that they're going through
01:08:49I find things coming out from my brain in my mouth that I didn't plan
01:08:53So it absolutely came from my granny. And so I think that's that internal voice
