majority of the justices declined to hear a challenge to trump's eligibility writing, we are not persuaded of the questions presented should be reviewed by this court. instead, they let stand a lower court opinion that said in michigan, who to place on the primary ballot is determined by the political parties. >> voters have the ultimate authority and should have the ultimate authority to decide, with their power, who should become president. >> reporter: trump said on social media the michigan supreme court acted strongly and rightfully. he said the colorado supreme court fell prey to the scheme after ruling last week trump is ineligible based on his conduct on january 6th and section 3 of the 14th amendment which disqualifies candidates who engage in insurrection after previously taking an oath to defend the constitution. >> this particular qualification is more nuanced than a more civil cut andrei issue where the facts are clear in terms of the candidate's age or place of birth. >> reporter: overnight the colorado republican party asked the u.s. supreme court to overturn the state supreme court ruling knocking trump off the ballot.

trump is expected to file his own appeal. the party argued the colorado decision userped the right of the people to choose their elected officials. challenges to trump's ballot eligibility are pending in more than a dozen other states. trump is also facing criminal charges over january 6th and efforts to overturn the last election. in that case, special counsel jack smith has asked a judge to restrict the arguments the defense can make at trial saying trump should not be allowed to inject into this case partisan political attacks that have no place in a jury trial. eva? >> aaron katersky, thank you. now a new study that says children are far more likely to be hospitalized for rsv than for the flu or even covid. morgan norwood is here with that. good morning to you, morgan. >> reporter: good morning, eva. respiratory illness season is in full swing. chances are you or someone you know is getting over a cough. this new study out of sweden lays out what has the highest chance of landing children in the hospital. rsv, covid or the flu?

so let's talk about it. the study looked at merely 2,600 children and found kids with rsv were 11 times more likely to be hospitalized than kids with covid. of those admitted to the er, close to 82% had rsv, 31.5% covid an about 28% the flu. so according to the cdc, as many as 80,000 kids under 5 will hospitalized with rsv every year with 100 to 300 deaths with those with rsv. those with rsv usually contagious for about 3 to 8 days and may be contagious a day or two before they start showing symptoms. which is why the cdc says these numbers drive home the importance of immunizations for children and pregnant mothers. there are vaccines and antibody shots available. fda approved two vaccines for adults over 60. still, the cdc says hospitalization rates for covid, influenza and rsv remain relatively low. eva? >> thanks, morgan. whit? we turn to the incredible

over 125,000 adults. they followed them for over 30 years. all of these adults had low carb diets. some meat based, some plant based. some adults chose unhealthier options. they found although they all kept it low carb that at the end of the period those who chose more high quality options were able to sustain that weight loss, which was the goal in the first place. overall, it's just a reminder that, again, not all low carb diets are the same and you want to focus on the high quality nutrition. >> explain this for us for those who don't understand the concept of low carb but also low quality food. what is that? >> the goal is, at the end of the day, the goal is choosing the better carbs. lot of people know bad carbs. we know french fries. we know potato chips, white bread. we understand these. there are some other factors inside our diet that contribute to high quality low essential nutrients and highly processed foods. jam, jellies, honey roasted nuts, honey mustard, sweetened yogurt and sweet tea. these are all low quality carbs

that you want to avoid. >> what are the high quality low carbs? >> at the end of the day you want your carbs to have as little ingredients. you want to focus on those complex carbs. things like whole grains, quinoa, brown rice. wild rice. you want to make sure you are choosing nonstarchy vegetables. a reminder, these digest slowly, prolong energy, you feel full longer and you have better insulin regulation which at the end of the day is the goal. it's not so much about weight loss. maintaining our metabolic goals and remaining healthy as we grow older. >> that's why fitness experts are all eating sweet potatoes. >> exactly. >> i was thinking about all the cookies i had. low quality carbs. all right, dr. sutton, thank you so much. we do want to look at a member of our team who was a clue on jeopardy. have a look. >> after a bone marrow transplant, she told viewers on february 20, 2013, i have been waiting 174 days to say this. good morning america. greg? >> who is robin roberts? >> you got it.

private life. a mistress and child he's hidden away. his wife laura, co-owner of the company, steeped in anger and loss, as penelope cruz attested to when she visited his real life residence. >> you could feel the deep depression that he was having for so many years. she had a difficult personality. >> but she is broken. >> she is broken. that's what people didn't want to see. that's why i took it as something personal, you know? the need of getting her a voice because she represents so many other women in the world that also don't have one. you were supposed to save me! >> you blame me for his death? >> each devastated by the illness and death of their only son. >> they are broken, like so many couples that never recover from the loss of a child. >> hopefully that scene in the movie you get the sense that this is the first time they are saying these things out loud. we wanted all accents to be

subtle. the idea they are speaking to each other in their own language so they're not making mistakes of their italian speaking english. >> from the sounds of the cars to the spectacle of a race, the director michael mann puts people on the track and driver's seat. >> we raced some contemporary ferraris. i drove one of the chassises of one of the cars. you are immediately aware of how dangerous they are. >> did you ever drive one while on set? it from there. like without motion, it is kind of heroic in the way that those drivers were following an ideology that was more important to them than, you know, personal safety, which i think is very romantic. >> for good morning america, chris connelly, abc news, los angeles. so cool. yeah, that movie looks like fun. the car is pretty cool, too. yeah, ferrari is in theaters right now and

back with the gma health alert. atrial fibrillation or a fib is a common type of heart rhythm condition that affects millions of americans. many of whom are young and healthy. reena roy is back with the story of one young athlete who, a drink of cold water, could have been deadly. reena, good morning. >> whit, good morning to you. imagine taking a nice refreshing sip of cold water and suddenly your heart feels like it's beating out of your chest. that's what happened to the young man we spoke with, and now he's warning others. 34-year-old franklin has been active in sports his whole life. one hot summer day when he was 18, franklin started to feel

heart palpitations. >> as i'm drinking the water, probably the most noticeable thump in my chest that i have ever -- i have never experienced before. i remember that i got super light headed. i'm sure that's when i passed out. >> reporter: doctors diagnosed it as atrial fibrillation where the upper chambers of heart beat irregularly. it can form blood clots that travel from the heart to the brain and is the leading cause of stroke. but after doctors shocked his heart back to a normal rhythm, he continued to have episode after episode. in fact, over a 15-year period, he went to the hospital at least 25 times to have his heart rhythm shocked back to normal. while in college, he noticed a trend. a fib occurred after drinking cold water. >> after a grueling workout i would drink cold water. usually mid gulp, if it was too big, i would feel the double thud.

>> reporter: sure enough, doctors confirming his a fib triggered by cold water. the nerve can get stimulated by cold water, coughing, even shaving. this slows down the heart momentarily taking over the body's natural pacemaker, making it more likely for you to go into atrial fibrillation. memorial herman's doctors performed a minimally invasive procedure to treat his condition. >> sometimes symptoms are very profound and the person will say, oh, my heart is beating out of my chest. lot of times they are subtle. pay attention to your symptoms. >> reporter: franklin hasn't had an a fib episode since the procedure. his message, don't ignore your heart. >> for many out there that engage in sport, if you feel something, don't be afraid to tell your parents. don't be afraid to tell your physicians. don't be afraid to go to the emergency room. >> now the procedure he had does not work for everyone and is not considered a cure. a fib causes about half million hospitalizations a year and the

for us, the families who do participate, we refer to as courageous. >> after the 2016 election, we started to realize how much backlash there was and we really wanted to focus on, how are families faring even though gay marriage was passed? >> they are mad at me because i am an indigenous queer woman sitting at the table. the death threats that come with that. people are still shook that we are here. >> reporter: this year 550 anti-lgbtq + bills have been introduced in state houses across the country. 74 pieces of legislation have been enacted into law and more than 225 of those bills restrict the rights of transgender people. >> we're in rural iowa. it's rare to have parents of the same gender. >> reporter: mia and katie were high school sweethearts raising five children who lived in iowa during filming and faced expulsion from church after mia came out as a transgender woman. >> as a trans person who was grappling with my own identity inside a religious system, a

system that i knew and had informed my beliefs. i had to get to a point where i let my faith inform my identity in a positive way. >> when mia came out, she invited me into the awareness of a deeper part of myself. i would hope people would be able to see this is love. >> it is streaming now on hulu. now a check of weather with somara. >> hey, eva. good morning to my friends at home. are you coming here for new year's eve? we are preparing our humble abode for you. you can see times square, they're getting ready. what do you need to know? the only thing falling from the sky will be confetti. no rain or snow. it will be cold. make sure you're layered up. temperatures at midnight hitting 39. winds coming out about 5 to 15 miles per hour. it is going to be breezy. you want to wear those layers and dress nice and warmly. that's a look at the for

so in my mind i just thought cancer, i'm gonna die. >> reporter: luckily, his doctors catching the cancer early in 2014. pj's relentless optimism leading the way. >> you know, going through this, i don't want to be down and have other people down. i always try to find the positive in everything. >> i'm right here. >> reporter: helping keep that smile on his face. >> i'm delerious. i can only yell. >> reporter: the show blackish bringing him joy during all the ups and downs of treatments. his wish, to visit that set, granted by make a wish. >> we're going to the set of blackish! >> we are going to see people that we have grown to love on tv. we are going to see them in person. i was really, i was star struck before meeting them. >> reporter: and meet the stars he did dancing for tracy ellis ross, eating with anthony anderson. >> i don't know if i was really hungry, but if anthony anderson

[ laughter ] we're bringing attention to texture. >> i appreciate the honesty about all of this. we're doing this recipe from the creamy section of your book. talk us through this. >> there's a little crunch in here. there's diversity in texture. we got butter chicken wings. i think butter, chicken and wings should have been a

marriage a long time ago. very simple. you're going to make a very easy butter chicken sauce. we have ours already marinated. got a little bit of ginger, salt, white pepper. not too crazy. let them sit in the fridge for a couple minutes. right? here's our sauce. very basic. onions. hopefully everyone can find that. lot of time when i make dishes like this, the first thought is, josh, i don't have time to get all these word ingredients. >> you should have an onion. >> i hope you have onions, guys. please. garlic. have that, too. little ginger. okay. then an array of different spices. if you don't have them, that's fine. most are basic. >> do you need help with this array of spices? >> could you, please. >> this ginger will give it a kick. right? >> long distance stretch. >> okay. put in all the different spices. got a little salt, sugar just to balance out those flavors. let that toast in the pan. does it hit your nose? >> you don't think that's too much ginger?

ginger is spicy, isn't it? >> cooking breaks down the spice. got the sweetness from the onion to balance all that out. right? once that's done. >> i'm glad i put an apron on. >> crazy for the white. see how this is prepared? all black. tomato sauce is going to go in. a little chicken stock. you can also do a different stock. if you want to do vegetable stock you can. not necessarily vegetarian. i guess you could do fried tofu. something for everybody. so this gets mixed together. gets cooked down. then it's going to get blended. very important that you blend it. don't leave it like this. i like a smooth sauce. ever go to a restaurant and the sauce is just eh? it's hot. add heavy cream. now the cream comes in. here's the key. once this is all mixed together, the number one thing for butter chicken that nobody talks about. butter.
