want to see happen. >> michael: 115 million fentanyl pills seized. what parents should know about what the dea is calling the deadliest drug epidemic the u.s. has faced. >> george: inside the situation room with the duty officer on january 6th. what's going through your mind when you are hearing that the vice president's life may be in danger? just how close he says we came to losing mike pence. >> michael: tiny, but mighty. the micropreemie miracle baby, weighing just over 1 pound at birth, defying odds and going home with her mama. >> robin: zipping into tuesday. we like ike, and safe to say ike likes this assignment. and speaking of zipping -- >> the crowd is going crazy! >> robin: as we count down to tonight's best in show -- >> look at this!

>> robin: no obstacle will stand in their way. meet the pups still in the running, and the rescue running away with our hearts. >> announcer: live in times square, this is good morning america. >> robin: the rescue may not have won the title but has won our hearts. good morning, america. >> michael: absolutely. also ahead today, with memorial day weekend just over a week away, major airlines are suing the u.s. department of transportation. gio benitez will break that down. >> george: we begin with donald trump's former trial. michael cohen taking the stand for the second day of testimony. on day one he told the jury trump directed him to make the payment to stormy daniels that's at the center of the case. aaron katersky's at the courthouse. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning, george. michael cohen brought donald trump closer than any witness yet to the alleged scheme to protect his political fortunes. and about obscure his role about covering up. from the moment he heard stormy daniels was shopping a story about a long denied sexual tryst

with donald trump, michael cohen said he knew it would be catastrophic for his campaign. he said trump knew t it, too. women will hate me. guys may think it's cool but this will be a disaster for the campaign. the access hollywood tape had already become public. trump heard boasting of groping women. >> when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. >> reporter: cohen testified trump told him to spin it and the spin he wanted to put on it was this is locker room talk, something melania had recommended. seated at the defense table, trump made a face for that. one of his few reactions to cohen's testimony. for much of it trump shut his eyes. cohen recalled asking how melania was handling. cohen recalled trump saying, don't worry, how long do you think i'll be on the market for? not long. the prosecutor said what do you think that to mean? cohen said he wasn't thinking about melania. this was all about the campaign. when it became evident daniels was prepared to go public, cohen said trump instructed him to pay her off. just do it, cohen recalled trump tell him. don't worry about it, you will get the money back.

before he wired the money, cohen called trump again. a jury saw a record of the calls. i wanted to ensure that once again he approved what i was doing because i required approval from him on all of this. everything required mr. trump's sign off. on top of that, i wanted the money back. after the election, cohen said trump signed off on a monthly reimbursement schedule. he approved it, cohen said. it was just before the inauguration and cohen quoted trump saying this is going to be one heck of a ride in d.c. prosecutors are out to show the reimbursements cohen said trump authorized were improperly and falsely characterized as legal expenses. cohen's recollections of the things trump said are powerful evidence. he's the only witness that can deliver it. while there are call logs to back him up, for the most part, george, the jury is left to take cohen at his word and the defense is waiting to test his composure and credibility. george? >> george: thanks. let's bring in jon karl, rachel scott, who is covering the trump campaign.

jon, you were in the courtroom yesterday. what was it like? >> fascinating dynamic. first of all, michael cohen was calm, humble. not the combative one. almost pathetic when he talked about the ways donald trump treated him. michael cohen is a guy for a decade or so derived his sense of self worth by how donald trump treated him. praise from donald trump is what he craved so much. so it was fascinating in that courtroom to watch donald trump give michael cohen the silent treatment. he didn't acknowledge him at all. they were just feet apart, george. especially during the breaks. i don't think he was sleeping. he was closing his eyes to say, i don't give a damn that you are up there. i don't give a damn anything you have to say. i'm not going to acknowledge your presence. it was like a way of psychological war fare. >> george: cross-examination could start later today. going to be brutal. >> it is.

because, look, the defense is going to want to see that combative michael cohen. they're going to want to show not only that he has credibility problems, but that he has an agenda, that he is out to get donald trump. he is out to get donald trump. look for them to introduce as evidence some of the videos that michael cohen has made recently, even during this trial, where he taunts donald trump. where he says things like trump 2024, 20 to 24 years in prison and makes obscene gestures. look for them to play those videos in the courtroom to show the jury that michael cohen is out to get donald trump. >> george: another strange thing going on in the courtroom. you've got vp hopefuls for donald trump basically auditioning for the job in that courtroom. >> yeah. consider this the new vetting process. i don't think we have ever seen the outside of a courthouse become the new testing ground for possible running mates. but that is what is happening. we are seeing republican allies, possible vp contenders, line up to do what donald trump can't. that is attack the witnesses,

attack michael cohen, even attack the judge and the judge's family. we know donald trump is barred from doing that under this gag order. yesterday we saw senator vance, who used to be a critic of donald trump. now he's one of his staunchest supporters and defenders. today we'll get vivek ramaswamy. also north dakota's governor will be outside the courthouse. later today there will be a fund-raiser with senators tim scott and marco rubio. george? >> george: so strange. okay, rachel, jon karl, thanks very much. michael? >> michael: now to secretary of state blinken arriving in ukraine, meeting with president zelenskyy amid reports of russians gaining some ground. james longman is on the scene in kyiv for us this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, michael. secretary blinken is here in kyiv. he met with president zelenskyy a short time ago, the highest level u.s. visit in six months and the first since that $61 billion aid bill was passed in congress. but his visit comes at a very dangerous time for ukraine. russia launched a major incursion in the northeast of this country. ukraine thinks about 30,000 russian troops are involved. they have taken some nine

villages, 7,000 people have already been displaced. but there is a danger that russian tanks could roll up onto the outskirts of kharkiv. that's ukraine's second largest city. it would send panic through the more than 1 million people who live there. they face bombardments. many of them would flee. blinken said some of the aid has been deployed on the battlefield. he says more will come. his basic message is america is back. i think there is a sense here the delay in aid has already given russia a major advantage. with u.s. elections around the corner long term u.s. support is far from guaranteed. robin? >> robin: james, thank you for your reporting. to washington now. president biden set to impose a new round of tariffs on chinese electric vehicles and other high-tech products. our senior white house correspondent selina wang has details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. in just a few hours, president biden will announce new tariffs on $18 billion worth of chinese imports.

this also includes quadrupling tariffs on chinese electric cars from 25% to 100%. this also targets key sectors including batteries, medical equipment, aluminum, semiconductors. and solar cells. the white house says all of these moves will protect those industries from cheaper chinese goods they warn could wipe out the competition. with the election just six months away, both biden and trump are fighting to be tougher on china and reach out to key working class voter. but new polling shows trump is ahead of biden in several battleground states where manufacturing is a top issue. a new new york times poll shows that in michigan, president biden is down seven points against trump among registered voters. in pennsylvania, biden is behind three points. but in wisconsin biden leads by two points. robin? >> robin: how are trump and biden plans for tariffs different? >> reporter: yeah, robin. trump said if elected again, he would dramatically increase tariffs on china, while biden officials say their approach is more strategic and will not

increase inflation. they are keeping in place tariffs from the trump administration on some $300 billion worth of chinese goods. robin, studies have shown that it's the u.s. consumers that largely bear the brunt of the tariffs. >> robin: thank you. michael? >> michael: now the deadly storms in the south. there were at least four reported tornados in three states yesterday. course, ginger is tracking it for us. ginger, this is 19 days in a row of twisters. >> ginger: yes. the atmosphere already trying to make it 20. we've got tornado warnings. brand new tornado watch in place until 1 p.m. for everybody highlighted in yellow. brunswick, georgia, crystal river in florida. jacksonville, gainesville. going to be a tough next couple of hours. it's been a tough night with 130 severe reports back to texas. >> are you kidding me? >> ginger: this morning new video as tornados and severe storms rip across the ozarks to

the gulf coast leaving at least two dead in louisiana. debris flying in the streets of sulphur, louisiana, after winds of more than 70 miles an hour sliced through the area. a likely tornado spotted. its damage vivid. cars flipped. the roof of this gas station mangled. >> is there anybody up in these campers? >> ginger: in st. martin parish, homes and trailers toppled. surveyors surveying the devastation, pieces of their lives scattered everywhere. >> that's the craziest have ever seen. >> looks like it's getting bigger. >> ginger: the twister tearing across a golf course. so it's two lines peninsula of florida today and south georgia that we're watching. this area through the afternoon includes tampa for the severe storms. reminder, may is the most prolific when it comes to tornados. an average of 275. it's may 14th and we've already

had more than 217 reported tornados this month. >> robin: wow. ginger, thank you for keeping track of all that. now the removal of the wreckage of the key bridge. a controlled explosion brought down the largest remaining part of the baltimore bridge. our senior national correspondent terry moran is on the scene there for us. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it's been seven week since that ship rammed the bridge and brought it down. seven weeks of around the clock dangerous operations. this may have been the most difficult challenge. using a cluster of dozens of precision munitions to cut through that 5,000 ton piece of steel and free the ship. this morning the port of baltimore now one step closer to fully reopening after a powerful controlled explosion brought down the largest remaining section of the key bridge. crews used small precision explosives to cut through the giant steel trusses safely, and efficiently, sending the massive structure

tumbling off the cargo ship and into the water. >> we're now very close to fully clearing the channel. we're already getting large ships in and out of the port of baltimore. >> reporter: the dali has been stuck for seven weeks after crashing into the bridge and sending it thundering down. >> last reported at least several vehicles in the water with several people unaccounted for. >> reporter: -- killing six construction workers. on the surface and under water now, crews are assessing the area, hoping to move that ship back to port within 48 hours. >> it's an important milestone for us to float dali and take it out of the federal channel tpp. >> reporter: even then, the ship's crew will remain on board. they're critical to repair efforts as well as to multiple investigations. there's still more wreckage obstructing the port. crews are working around the clock to finish the job, aiming to fully clear the channel by the end of this month. there is a special sense of mission it seems everybody who is on this product. >> that's right. everyone is pulling together,

everyone is rallying for this cause. >> reporter: one big question remains. what caused this disaster? the fbi, the ntsb, the coast guard all investigating. maryland senior senator says the ship's insurance companies will be made to foot the bill. a lot of litigation ahead. george? >> george: no question about that. terry, thanks. now major airlines suing the u.s. department of transportation to fight the hidden junk fees rule as the biden administration aims to make charges easier for passengers to see. transportation correspondent gio benitez has the latest on that. good morning. >> gio: yeah, we're talking about these baggage fees. dot is mandating that airlines disclose those at the time booking. now the airlines are suing. alaska, hawaiian, jet blue, aou united, all of them saying that travellers already know about the fees. airlines for america the lobbying group for the major u.s. airlines, saying this. airlines go to great lengths to

make their customers knowledgeable about these fees. this will greatly confuse consumers who will be unnone dated with information. it will only serve to complicate the buying process. but the dot is already firing back in a statement to abc news saying, we will vigorously defend our role, protecting people from hidden junk fees and ensuring travellers can see the full price of a flight before they purchase a ticket. right now this is set to begin on july 1st unless this lawsuit changes things, robin. >> robin: all right, gio. now the tiny mighty baby girl. she defied the odds. janai norman has that story. good morning to you, janai. >> oh, good morning. you know as soon as they said baby, i said, oh, yes. this little baby, little nya. when she was born she weighed as much as a can of soup. she was just 22 weeks. her eyes still fused shut. her lungs weren't fully developed. her skin was still nearly translucent. wait until you see how she's doing now.

this morning two parents near chicago waking up for the first time with their miracle baby at home. >> everyone's ready to sell bray this little one for sure. >> reporter: little nyla brook heywood was released from the hospital, where she was born nearly six months ago. she was delivered at just 22 weeks after her mother was diagnosed with preeclampsya. she is known as a micropreemie because she weighed just over one pound at birth. with only a 10% chance of survival, the odds were stacked against her. doctors went into the delivery room prepared for the worst. >> she cried at birth. little whimper, but it was a cry. she came out fighting right off the bat. >> reporter: nyla nation, as they're known, rallying around her. a team of almost 15 people was dedicated to nyla during those first minutes and days. >> her tiny lungs were underdeveloped and her skin was skin and translucent.

>> reporter: look at her today. a healthy 10 pound baby girl with a very bright future. >> i just don't have words, in all honesty. just super grateful that she's here. she's healthy. she's doing amazing. >> when she departed the hospital with her parents they threw her a going away party. they wished her a life time of good health. thanks to our station wls in chicago for that story. nyla was the smallest baby ever born at that hospital. and she survived. >> robin: she's thriving. not just surviving. she's thriving. what a great story. >> george: coming up the new twist in the death of a south carolina pastor's wife. >> robin: also ahead, what parents need to know about fentanyl and talking to the teens about dangers of counterfeit pills. >> michael: mothers of miss usa and miss teen usa on why their daughters gave up their crowns. a first on gma this morning. right now back to ginger. >> ginger: south florida is prepping for heat advisories. maybe even extreme heat warnings

focusing on the shift from plant based drugs to synthetic drugs that have absolutely deadly consequences. leading the pack is fentanyl. as you mentioned. statistics put out by the dea, 38,000 americans killed in the first half of 2023 alone. that is a staggering statistic. according to the nih, when you talk about fentanyl, 115.5 million pills seized last year alone. this is a massive issue. >> robin: it is affecting so many, so many families. what do we do? >> i think it starts with education and awareness. they are putting a broad net on how we have to address this issue. obviously, first of all, anyone who is prescribed an opioid class of painkilling medication, they should only use those pills if obtained from a licensed pharmacy because counterfeits are such a massive problem. conversations with teenagers, college age students is critical, from parents, from

health care providers, about the dangers of these counterfeit pills. one pill can be deadly. there can be no sign or indication that it's counterfeit or laced. and for anyone struggling with substance abuse or dependence issues for this or any other class of medication. find treatment.gov. the national help line show there very important. >> robin: there's no indication when they're counterfeit. >> that's right. that's why in some cities and states, including new york city, it's recommended that every person carry naloxone on their person in case they stumble upon someone unconscious or unresponsive. >> robin: my goodness. that's saying something right there. i know you'll have a lot more on gma3 later. >> you bet. >> robin: all right, jen, thank you. coming up the women who stepped away from a life long dream. now we hear from the mothers of miss usa and miss teen usa and their warning to future contestants. contestants.

a reimbursement schedule to him. this morning he is completing that narrative and tying trump to the allegedly falsified business records. cohen showed the statements. was this invoice a false record, prosecutors asked cohen? he answered, yes, ma'am. then the jury saw the checks with trump's signature. were those checks issued in response to the false invoice? cohen answered, yes. check after check cohen identified donald trump's signature in that unmistakable black sharpie pen. cohen is also testifying about his criminal convictions, laying some of the ground work that will preempt what will undoubtedly be a heated cross-examination when the defense will try to destroy cohen's credibility. george? >> george: no question about that. prosecuors have suggested they could rest their case this week. do we know of any other witnesses they expect to call?

>> reporter: prosecutors said they may have one more witness. it's not certain. it is expected to be a minor witness, if anyone. it is possible they'll rest on cohen. >> george: aaron, thanks. michael? >> michael: now the deadly storms in the south. 19 days in a row of twisters in the u.s. ginger, of course, is tracking it all for us. good morning, ginger. >> ginger: good morning, michael. trying to go to 20 days today and i don't think it's farfetched. we have a brand new tornado watch. i'll show you in just a moment. first images, this one from branson, missouri. thankfully, nobody hurt. that was out in the open over a golf course. unfortunately, not the same case in louisiana. a line of really nasty storms moved through last night about dinnertime. sulphur to around baton rouge we learned of two people that were killed in tornados slash damaging winds. we'll learn more about those today. we don't have a ton of time to breathe. the next couple hours will be active, from brunswick, georgia, to ocala, florida, jacksonville, all the way down to crystal river. kind of two rounds that come through. this morning and then that watch goes until 1 p.m.

>> robin: back with more of our abc news exclusive inside the white house situation room. you sat down with the gentleman who was on duty january 6th. >> george: right. mike sigler is an amazing man. he's a true patriot. quiet man, committed, super confident. he always wanted to work in the situation room, but never imagined he would be there helping hold the government together on january 6th. for mike siegler, working in the white house situation room was a bucket list dream come true. the duty officer, he served from 2019 to 2021 under trump and biden administrations. what exactly is that work on any given day? >> sifting through different intelligence, providing updates to the president, vice president, all their staff. >> george: you light up when you talk about the situation room. what stands out from your time in the white house? >> the biggest thing that stands out to me is my colleagues. >> george: at the core of this,

apolitical. >> apolitical. >> george: what does that mean to you? >> i am there to execute my responsibilities without question and without allowing outside influence to come in. you are to execute, regardless of your own opinion and the opinion of others. >> george: how do you balance serving the president and serving the presidency? >> i knew that going into this, right? i had talked to friends who had served in previous administrations before i took the assignment. they said, look, it will be a little different this time around because there's going to be more pressure to act for the president and not the presidency. but if you go in with the mindset that i'm there to serve the presidency, i'm there to serve the executive branch regardless of what goes on, it puts you in a better mind set. >> george: i want to talk about january 6th. you were the duty officer that day. on the morning of january 6, 2021, he headed to

the white house to start his usual 5 a.m. shift. later that day the riot erupted at that time capitol. at what point did you know that the capitol had been breached? >> soon as it was called on the radio. we thought they breached the gate. or somebody breached a barrier. when they called out the capitol was breached, at first we didn't know what that meant. at the time the vice president was there. once of the responsibilities of the situation room is to always maintain communication with the president, vice president. so those were the initial conversations of, okay, where is he? how can we locate him? how can we maintain that communication link? >> george: you told me people didn't understand how close we came to losing the vice president? what's going through your mind when you are hearing that the vice president's life is in danger? >> we start having the conversation, okay, vp is down, what's next? what do we got to do? how do we keep moving? where's the second in line? >> george: kind of remarkable what you're describing there is that you started to implement

and go through the check list. >> the situation room did. correct. >> george: what is called continuity of government procedures. describe what those are. >> those are originally instituted for if there's an attack on the u.s. government, how does the government, especially the executive branch, keep going? so that means line of succession. that means how do we move to different locations? how do we keep the government going? >> george: during a riot of our own people. inspired by the man sitting upstairs. >> correct. but at the time that's not even in the forefront of our minds. it doesn't matter how we got here. we're here. how do we execute? how do we move forward? >> george: did the president ever call down to the situation room that day? >> not to my knowledge. >> george: not once? >> no, sir. >> george: didn't ask what was going on? >> not to my knowledge. >> george: didn't ask how the vice president's doing? >> not to my knowledge. >> george: some people even questioned elected officials whether the vice president was

really in danger. you see a lot of revisionist history going on about january 6th. as someone who was inside the room that day, what's your reaction? >> it's important to me that we don't forget that it did come that close. and that we did have discussions, if we lose the vp, if the 25th is invoked. we start running through all of these game plans because it was getting close. >> george: 25th amendment. >> correct. >> george: how did you all talk about it after wards? >> there's some of us that won't talk about it. there's a handful of us that, we still talk. every january 6th we get together and we have a toast. we go to the lincoln memorial. we have that toast. we don't really say anything. >> george: what is it a toast to? surviving? getting through it? >> the day after, january 7th, i was back at it. back at 5 a.m. frequent visitor to the

situation room under the trump administration was lieutenant general keith kellogg, vice president's national security adviser. he would come by and we'd get a feel of how the day was starting. at the end i turn to him and go, sir, how are you doing today? he takes a deep breath and he taps the table twice and looked at me and goes, the republic still stands. i think that's what it's a toast to. the republic still stands. >> george: incredible man. such an impressive man. it was not easy to convince him to speak about that day. it's still so painful to him. it was very gratifying. i heard from him early this morning. he said since his story started to come out, he's heard from many other colleagues who say now they feel free to absorb the experience and talk about it. it was so traumatic for so many of them working inside there. >> lara: and for us watching. it was shocking. >> robin: why did you want to write the book? what do you hope the reader

takes away? >> george: i hope every reader gets to meet people like mike sigel. the situation room has been populated by people from all across the government who are out there to serve their country on the front lines every day. they're all impressive. >> robin: it was impressive the book party we had in this very spot 12 hours ago. >> lara: yep. >> george: thank you all for coming. >> lara: congratulations. terrific read. >> robin: george, i hope you felt the love for you. >> george: i did. >> robin: ginger? >> ginger: thank you. dallas, texas, waking up dry, but that has not been the case. they're more than half foot above average precipitation wise. lot of rainfall lately. another storm coming in thursday. the highest flood risk is southeast of y'all in dallas. eastern, or southeastern texas and western louisiana are included. right now the last 30 days, 400% of normal. let's get a check closer to home.

[ laughter ] >> lara: he's still cruising somewhere in canada. we'll check in in a moment. first we want you to tell us which two teams will be kicking off "monday night football" and how do you feel about the matchup? >> yeah, well, this was a prop.

i have committed it to memory. evidently, shefter is letting somebody else break some news. here it is. defending nfc champion san francisco 49ers hosting the new york jets on "monday night football" opener, which is a great game. we had aaron rodgers last year with his debut with the jets. he carried out the american flag and then 14 seconds later, that. he was done for the year, tore his achilles. bigger and better in 2024. he goes back home. he's from chico, california. he's taking on the 49ers, the team he grew up around and wanted to be drafted by. the 49ers, they just came so close to winning the whole thing against kansas city. it's a great matchup for us. heck of a way to start. >> lara: i'm looking forward to that one. i want to know more about the full schedule. we don't get it until tomorrow, but what can we expect to see on monday night football this season? what are you most looking forward to?

>> i think the good thing is we start that way and we know we also have the cowboys twice. we've got the chiefs twice. we've got the bills twice. we've got another date with the 49ers. it's exciting. i can't wait. we all can't wait for the entire schedule to come out tomorrow, as you said. but it's shaping up to be another great year on "monday night football" for sure. >> lara: there's always story lines, right? i would love to hear from you which story lines you think we should be following? which ones are you most interested in? >> i think it's make or break for this version of the dallas cowboys and dak prescott. he was hoping to get a deal done. you could say you guys win and you'll get paid. you don't win and there are going to be major changes in dallas. uh, i think chicago, you know, coming off this draft where they hope they got their quarterback and caleb williams, who looks like a stud

. uh, the texans proved last year that you can win and get to the playoffs with a rookie quarterback. they did that with c.j. stroud, who was unreal. yeah. uh, and the league is better when the chicago bears are a relevant good team. and then kansas city again. i mean, until somebody knocks them off, uh, they're going for their third straight, and they're just so talented. and when you've got those three, you've got mahomes. you've got kelce and you've got andy reid. until somebody can knock them off and tell me and show us all that they're better than the chiefs. they go into the season again as the team to beat. yeah i'm just not so sure that that's possible to happen. >> they're just that good. and it's going to be so fun to watch. and joe you always make it fun. you and troy. um, so thank you for that. really looking forward to the big new york jets. uh, sorry, michael. i grew up, but, uh, that's probably why i didn't get to talk to joe. >> but, joe, i love you. good to see you, joe. my guy. >> yes. i missed you, mike. >> miss you too.

we're ushering in a new era of women's sports, along with the new wnba season. there are 12 teams right now. i said right now. this morning the wnba family is growing. here with us is the newest wnba team president. please welcome jeff smith. [ applause ] thank you, jeff. all right. are y'all ready? 'cause we have a special announcement. we're going to reveal the name of the new team. come on. are you ready, people? [ applause ] all right! release that banner. let's see it! >> yeah! [ applause ] >> robin: golden state! valkyres. i like that name. >> it's strong, right. makes you want to get to work. >> robin: i love you're all color coordinated. >> i was a little on brand today. >> robin: very much on brand. rightfully, so.

this is a big deal. >> big deal. >> robin: this is the 13th team. the first to join since 2008. >> yeah. >> robin: just talk about this moment. >> this moment is so much bigger than golden state. it's so much bigger than the valkyries, right? what we are seeing happening in women's sports is just the beginning. the sustainability and incredible growth around the game. to have expansion in the bay area, it's special. when you think of the bay area and you think of the woman that leads the world in being innovative and progressive at the same time. we think about what's happening in women's sports and to marry those together, it will be really powerful. this ownership group likes to win. that's something they do. but with intention. you know? that's how we'll build this brand. >> robin: what does this mean to you personally? you've been in this industry for sometime. you're witnessing it all like all of us. what does it mean to you? >> it's such a complex question. it means everything. i have been in this industry for close to 20 years, working in men's sports, then having the

opportunity to build women's soccer. now the opportunity to lead here at the valkyries. just a mom, citizen, human. what we are able to do is incredible. we know things like women in leadership, 90% have had access to sports. right? sport is a reflection of our society in any given moment. the power that we are seeing and the investment we're seeing and the consumers taking hold of what they are now driving forward by watching, attending, listening. it's unbelievable. >> robin: that's what's different. that's what's making it different this time? >> it is. there's something that happened to all of us during covid, candidly. right? we now know where we spend our time, our money. we know the power we have individually and collectively. so you're seeing fans show up and buy those tickets. you are seeing them push the ratings to brand new levels, to really push the broadcasters, right? put us in the primetime spot. look what's happening, right? you are seeing this incredible star power be noticed. you are seeing shoulder

programming. you are seeing social media and these athletes have this incredible followship. but most importantly to me, you are seeing multidimensional women and what that means to our society. you're seeing the idolization of all genders through sports. >> robin: what are you most excited about this season? >> i mean, we get to be everybody's hype person this season for the one and only time. >> robin: right. >> before we ruin everybody, right? not that way. more so like once we steal some folks during the expansion draft and get our free agency going. but this year is for us, celebrating the incredible history of the wnba and the premiere seasons that we have an ability to watch and take in. >> robin: you can't wait, can you? >> the fact that i get to do this for work every day doesn't feel possible, to be honest. >> robin: wonderful. madam president, thank you. thank you very much for revealing it here. >> of course. >> robin: do you have anything? we like swag. michael and i, we like swag.

>> we have a few pieces of merchandise that we would love to give you. >> robin: oh. okay. all right. >> there might be a little something over here. >> robin: all right. oh, oh. i didn't know it would be personalized. thank you. >> oh! >> robin: nicely done. >> and a ball here, too. listen, we're here. we're here in a big way. we want to be your team. >> robin: thank you. >> we would like you to be about us. >> robin: i was there in 1997 when it launched. i posted a picture when i was there with the original team. >> unbelievable photo. the hair game was very real. [ laughter ] >> robin: i liked you until that point. keeping it real. con tkpwratd layingses. >> michael: that says robin roberts. i can't even borrow it. [ laughter ] >> robin: you couldn't fit in this, my man. [ laughter ] so incredibly happy and proud. >> thank you. thank you. >> robin: thank you so much for being here. we want to let everybody know all of the wnba action kick off tonight. fever take on the sun at 7:30.

las vegas aces face off against the phoenix mercury at 7 on espn2 and disney + and on the espn app. the new york liberty take on the washington mystics followed by the minnesota lynx versus the seattle storm at 10 p.m. coming up, oh my gosh. we have a lot of action here on the espn network so you want to stay tuned. thank you, everybody, for embracing women's sports and the wnba. let's not make this a moment, let's make this a movement. coming up, rob mcelhenney is here live! coming up, rob mcelhenney is here live.

hello, i'm franklin graham. as we watch the news, it feels like the whole world is filled and engulfed with hate. we see it on our college campuses. we see it across the world. where did this come from? you see, hate is coming from the human heart. god made us and he created us, but sin has come into the world, and it's come into each and every heart. and the only one who can fix the heart is god. and god did that by sending his son, jesus christ from heaven to this earth to take our sins. he died in our place on a cross, shed his blood, and was buried, but on the third day he walked right out of that grave.

that's right, jesus christ is alive, and my questions is have you ever invited him into your heart?" if you haven't done it, do it right now. just say, god, i'm a sinner. i'm sorry. forgive me. i believe jesus is your son. i want to trust him as my savior, and i pray this in jesus' name. if you prayed that prayer call that number right now that's on the screen. god bless you!

>> michael: we are back with the star and creator of "it's always sunny in philadelphia." that guy right there, rob mcelhenney. he does so much more than that. in 2020 he and ryan reynolds bought a soccer team. that's become a big hit on and off the field. the hit series welcome to wrexham is in its third season. rob, thank you for being here. welcome back to gma, my friend. give it up for rob, everybody. [ applause ] thanks in part to this series, wrexham, massive hit. did you ever think it would be so recognized globally? >> no. honestly, we just wanted to tell the story of the town of wrexham.

we thought and we hoped it would resonate with people all over the world. it is a show about working class people. it's not really a show about football. by the way, by the end of the segment, i'm going to force you to call it football. [ laughter ] that will go viral. >> there's american football and global football. we just call it football now. have to call it football. >> michael: they've converted you and now you're trying to convert me. we'll see how it goes. [ laughter ] >> we thought if we could tell the story of a working class town it would resonate with people all over the globe. that transcends culture. >> lara: right. it does. the team's doing really well. you've moved up. can you explain what happened to the team in terms of the big dream? >> so when we originally started, we were in the national league which is out of the english football system. but the english football system is about 15, 16 leagues. we were in league five. we got promoted up to league four. then third. >> lara: you're looking good. >> things are looking good. >> lara: is there a plan to get taylor swift afoot at a game?

>> i think there's always a plan to get taylor swift involved in something. [ laughter ] both jason and travis have assured me they will be attending a game. we're going to try to get taylor there. now, we've had the king come, king of england come. we've had the prince come. the security, of course, in the town of wrexham when the king comes is pretty tight. i think we'll have to double that. >> george: let's give everyone a preview of season 3. >> as you can see, even with some of the construction that's happening, there are already stores that are popping up. there was no signage on these when we first started the process. next week there's a town hall where i will interact with, you know, the town folk, local businesses, get their feed back. >> you're the face of the operation? >> i'll dress up. you know? >> george: you say it's more than football. everyone loves a comeback story.

>> yeah. that actually is what we're trying to do with the town. it's not just about football. it's about revitalizing the town. first just through emotion and hope. now because of the success of the club, tourism has boomed and a lot of the businesses are doing so well that new business is coming into town. that was always a huge part of the dream. >> lara: i know there's a women's team as well. >> there is. >> lara: with that, you have an announcement to make? >> we do. we have an announcement to make. last year we were able to bring the men's team over for an american tour, which we're doing again. this year, for first time in history, we're going to bring over the wrexham women's team. >> lara: that's awesome. >> a tour of the west coast. we're going to play in los angeles against the all star team of players at uscl and usc. we're going to play in portland and los angeles. >> lara: isn't it amazing how women's sports has just exploded? >> it's exploding, exploding. so we wanted to be part of that

and at the forefront of that. they've earned it. they also got promoted last year. they went from amateur team into semiprofessional team. now because of the success of the documentary, people in the united states want to see them play. so we thought, what a great opportunity to bring them to the united states. you can get your tickets at wrex coast tour.com. they're available now. >> michael: people want to see them play. i want to see you play. come over here. [ laughter ] we're going to test your goalie skills. >> i want to see you kick. >> michael: you don't want to see me kick. i don't want to pull a ham string. but there is a twist. you got to stop the goal. when you do, you got to answer the question on the soccer ball. >> okay. i'm a keeper? >> michael: you're the goal keeper. i'm not kicking it. we got some guys. >> i got to warm up. it's early. but all right. can i use my hands or my feet? >> michael: whatever you need. all right.

come on. >> what's one thing about ryan that would surprise us? i'll tell you. he's a monster. [ laughter ] he is a true monster. i'm sure, i know he's been on this show. he seems like such a nice guy. everybody around town and everybody in the industry and everybody in the world who has met him thinks he's a nice guy. but i know him. he's a monster. >> michael: oh boy. can't wait for his come back. stop it. you got it. >> that was easy. what sports movie can you watch on repeat? >> michael: good question. >> okay. field of dreams. in fact, every man just had the same reaction. when we went to make the documentary, i wanted to make "field of dreams" every episode. truly the goal of the show is to not make something about -- just like "field of dreams" is not about baseball. it is about a father/son relationship. welcome to wrexham is about a community. i wanted to make grown men cry. >> michael: you're doing a good job of that.

>> all right. come on. give me heat. who's better on the pitch, you or ryan? okay, well, i am much better on the pitch. everywhere else ryan is better. [ laughter ] i'll take the pitch. he'll take everything else. >> michael: rob, thank you for coming to talk about football with us. >> thank you. >> michael: i called it football. i did it. you broke me, man. all right. welcome to wrexham airs thursdays at 10 p.m. eastern and streams the next day on hulu. make sure you check it out if you haven't already. now over to ginger. hey, ginger. >> ginger: michael, i wanted to see you kick, too. we'll have to wait for that. it's a great morning for any sport in new york city. we're going to have to look at showers moving in. we have been so wet. we're going to see showers bring temperatures down. it will be cool. going through wednesday, we'll not budge out of the 60s. rain showers from the mid-atlantic up to boston so washington, d.c. also. boston peaks at 70. we will stay showery as we go into the weekend.

[ laughter ] >> lara: that's true. >> there are those songs. there's always the audibles that we can just throw in.

the truth is that i think patrick and train kind of asked us to tour with them because they needed to bring in some younger people. [ laughter ] >> lara: yes. you understand, right? >> i understand. >> lara: seems right. >> makes sense. >> lara: we do have the super fans. we're going to let you ask some questions. we're going to start with michelle, please, take it away. >> hi, hi, pat. i heard you're going on a 45-city tour. i will be at six of them. what is your favorite city to go to and why? >> my favorite city is the six that you're going to be at michelle. >> lara: well done, pat. >> love those cities. >> lara: unfortunately, we are out of time. we want to hear them sing. i can't have you ask the last question. sending love. let's do this. are you ready? >> yep. >> all right. >> lara: so let me just remind everybody. the summer road trips tour kicks off july 8th. right now we'll get to hear them perform songs that we love. here's train/reo speedwagon
