him a whacko. he went after the judge presiding over the criminal hush money in new york. in sharp contrast president biden visited arlington national cemetery laying a wreath down at the tomb of the unknown soldier and delivering remarks honoring the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives to protect american democracy. all of this, of course, offering up quite the split screen of these two candidates less than six months out from the election. whit? >> whit: rachel scott, thank you very much. robin? >> robin: thanks, whit. now the latest on the deadly israeli air strike in rafah that killed dozens of civilians. our foreign correspondent britt clennett is in israel for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. yeah, condemnation is growing following israel's strike in western rafah that set fire to a refugee camp, killing dozens of people. israeli prime minister netanyahu admitted that there was a technical failure. he called it a tragic mishap saying they are investigating

the bombing that targeted two senior hamas leaders. horrifying pictures show a burning inferno, people trying to douse the flames and pull survivors out of the blaze. the strike is adding to israel's growing isolation on the world stage. it came two days after a top court ruled against its offensive in rafah and a spokes person calling the images devastating, heart breaking saying israel must protect civilians. president biden himself, he's previously voiced opposition to israel. he even suspend a shipment to israel over concerns on how the weapons might be used. global pressure mounting. today ireland, norway and spain will formally recognize the state of palestine. michael? >> michael: brit, big news there. thank you. now the manhunt after the fatal shooting of a former general hospital star. we are hearing from his family this morning. our chief national correspondent matt gutman is in los angeles for us. good morning, matt.

>> retail giant wal-mart just announcing the april they will start rolling out a new private label called better goods with 300 products ranging from frozen foods to coffee. the retailer saying most of the products will cost less than $5. >> store brands tend to be less expensive than the national brands. >> to see how the pricing compares my producer sara checked out four store brands all in the same area. wal-mart's existing great value label, target's good and gather, albertson's signature celebrity and trader joe's that predominantly features store brands. she found like to like item, tomato sauce, almonds, shredded cheese. as for pricing store brand tomato sauce was the least expensive at wal-mart. by $0.37. that's $0.76 less than the top selling national name brand. because of sizing difference, we broke down cost by price per ounce. the biggest savings on almond's was trader joes where they were $0.25 less than ounce than other

store brands and $0.42 less than a popular brand. that's a savings of $6 on a one pound bag of almonds. for sharp cheese the least was at wal-mart by $0.17 and $0.19 than the national brand. it would save you roughly $3 on a one pound bag. what about taste? >> we wanted to compare nutrition, ingredients and taste. that's a stumbling block for people. >> in 2022 consumer reports did a taste test of 70 store brand products. >> we had our blind tasters taste a leading national brand against up to ten different store brands within a category. all blind. and out of the 70 products we found 76% were comparable in quality and flavor. >> and target just announced price cuts this summer on more than 5,000 products, some being their store brand products, good and gather. michael?

that target has lowered the price on in its good and gather price line. it's now $0.20 cheaper, $3.79 a pound at most stores. couple other examples of price drops on good and gather items, baby spinach was $3.29, now $2.99. roasted nuts $5.29. and this target feels like it could be a tipping point on prices going up. this move may be a signal they received feed back from shoppers on prices, enough is enough. >> michael: enough is enough. high prices are a no go. we have something lot of people are eating right now as they watch the show for breakfast cereal. 1.3% more expensive than last year. where can we get a good deal on this? >> well, first of all, i have to remark how much i love the way you are treating this whole segment like a game show with the reveals. >> michael: i feel like it. price is right. >> you're bringing that. when it comes to cereal, you got

it. an east coast chain, you can get several different varieties of their store brand cereals for just $1.99 a box. that's big savings. given the amount of cereal consumed in this house, with two teenagers, i feel like a winner when i can save even a penny on cereal. whoo! >> michael: great job. speaking of a game show, this is a cheap one because i have to do the reveal and commentary. usually you have an assistant or something.

yes. not gonna say anything. >> no, he' great. but you want things that aren't going to break. it looks fantastic. shatter proof, pba free. you can use them all year long. these also come in flutes. you can do high ball. >> whit: just to test it out. nothing broke. there you go. perfect. >> really affordable. >> whit: mosquitos, always a pest. what's this? >> i am a mosquito magnet. >> whit: me, too. >> i have tried a lot of things. i'm a little tired of lotioning up with deet and all that. just doesn't feel right to me. this is fantastic. i came upon this last year. this is the patio shield. these come in different forms. basically, i'm gonna put my drink down so i can show you what goes underneath.

this cartridge sticks in there. you're going to put the mat here. it uses heat to release the repellant. it takes about 15 minutes. it releases the repellant 15 feet around where you are. if you have a big back yard maybe want to stagger a few of them. it creates sort of like a fortress seal and mosquitos leave you alone. not only do they leave the whole area alone. you want that all to be bug-free and untouched. >> whit: spraying the bug spray around all the food always gross as well. now we need some good back yard games. what do we have? >> we know there's a lot of lawn games that are big and oversized. the thing with that, sometimes you lose them, they're cumbersome. this is the best of both worlds. bigger than your average indoor game but smaller so it's compact. this is stackable game. comes in a lot of different colors. i can see you are good at this, whit. >> whit: let's not get carried away. actually -- >> will he do it, ladies and gentlemen? can he pull it off?

yes! amazing. >> whit: got one. >> that's pretty good. so this is that classic stackable game we love. you can also use it dominos, building blocks. because it's so colorful. that's under $25. >> whit: love that. now you need a place to relax. what's this all about here? >> whit johnson, we are marrying two trends together. bean bag chair and cabana strips. these things are trending on google, pinterest. you can get say i like it. yeah, it goes great with the with the mocktail . yeah. there you go. cheers. cheers, whit. yeah. enjoy the barbecue. all of these items, of course, shoppable on our website. laura thank you so much. we appreciate it. coming up right here richard, gear live in the studio. stay with us. >> gma's surprise people across

[ applause ]

>> thank you. thank you. >> michael: we saw earlier this month, richard, you walked the red carpet at cannes with your oldest son. >> that was a few days ago actually. >> michael: you're all over the place. what was that moment like to be on the red carpet with your son? >> he 24. he just graduated from brown sunday. >> michael: congratulations. >> yes. so that's a milestone. but he, i never took him to anything like this before. he just wasn't -- we didn't live in l.a. i didn't take him to festivals. i just wanted him to be a kid. he thanks me now. he said, thank you for not doing this to me before. [ laughter ] >> michael: do you think he'll follow in your footsteps? >> i don't know. he's -- about a year ago, year and a half ago, he started acting in little films in school and making films and writing them and directing them and production designing them.

he understands how much fun it is. it is kind of addictive. i love making movies. >> whit: let's take a look at your new film here "longing." >> why are you crying? i'm sorry if i hurt you. sometimes in the middle of very busy lives. >> when i moved back to canada, after we split up, i found out i was pregnant and i gave birth. >> whit: so many twists and turns in this film. something else, too, that a lot of people might not know. another one of your talents on display. you play the piano. something we have seen in other films. piano, guitar. >> i am always bringing the piano into these movies. i should apologize. >> whit: no. we love it. people want more. >> i just have fun doing it. yeah. we ended up playing around with that in this film, too.

>> robin: tell us more about the film. >> this was an early scene in the movie, one of the first ones, actually. we are seeing the scene this guy and woman and they had an intense affair 20 years ago. haven't spoken since. she shows up. she's emotional. he's trying to figure out what's going on. turns out she was pregnant before they broke up and she didn't tell him. she had a 19, 20-year-old kid, which is his kid. then we find out a little more of what happened there. whole movie is really this guy coming to terms with the fact that this was his only kid. and who was this kid? we find out the kid passed away. so it's a bit of a detective story, but it's an emotional one for this guy, obviously.

it's his kid. i think the film deals a lot with how does our world, what we think, what we do, what we touch, how does that resonate in ways that we don't even think about? but later on, 20 years, things come home to roost. there is a cause and effect to everything. we do. >> robin: all these twists and turns life throws at us. can i say the three of us were talking earlier amongst ourselves. that it is the 25th anniversary of runaway bride. coming up on 35 years since "pretty woman" one of our favorite movies. it comes on tv, doesn't matter where -- >> who's in that movie? [ laughter ] >> robin: doesn't matter where it is, you watch it. did you ever, richard gere, ever expect to have both those films, to have the lasting impact that they've had on

folks? >> no. first of all "pretty woman" really charming, wonderful film. i'm proud of it. but when that was given to me originally, i didn't know. it wasn't the kind of movie i was making. i was making much more serious, young man troubled movies. here was a comedy. there wasn't even a character there. gary marshall came to see me. i like gary a lot. as i recall, we didn't even talk about the movie. we talked about life. i said, well, i like this guy. i can get along with this guy. then julia came to new york. i think she had made only one film at that point. i remember sitting in my office and gary introduced us and then he left. he went for walk. he got nervous. [ laughter ]

julia was great. we got along great. she was sitting across from my desk. we were laughing. gary called up and said, how's it going? i said, all right. what do you think? she's terrific. i could see, she took a piece of paper and wrote a note on it and she passed it across the desk to me and said, please say yes. [ laughter ] >> robin: aw. >> michael: we're glad that you did. >> i was, too. that meant a lot to me. i have done a lot of different kinds of films. that one seems to have touched people all over the world. >> robin: if you didn't do it, it would have been a big mistake, big, huge! [ laughter ] huge! >> don't hurt your wrist, honey. don't do that. >> robin: i know. it would be worth it for this. >> michael: to add to your new movie "longing" is going to be released in select theaters june 7th and on demand everywhere june 28th.

richard gere, everybody. coming up robin's new documentary on the heroes of world war i. we will be right back with more gma.

>> you happy? >> yeah. we got what we need. >> robin: it's the story of a hard fought victory in part 2 of "the great war." >> there was a feeling that the bravery of american boys would turn the tide. >> robin: these american soldiers credited for their feats on the front lines of world war i. produced in partnership with my production company, rocking robin productions and through archival footage, expert interviews and recreations, the series highlights the bravery of 20th century soldiers. >> where are they? >> robin: like michael b. ellis. part of the soon to be legendary big red one regiment. >> michael ellis puts himself in the history pages by personally clearing six german machine gun positions and capturing over 50 of the enemy. >> robin: henry johnson fought

off 40 germans and henry johnson part of the african-american regiment known as the harlem hell fighters earning france's highest battlefield award despite facing extreme adversity. >> hard hitting henry johnson. i want to talk about what you did out there. can't wait to make our mark, just like you. >> we all gotta do our part. sounds like i inspire you to do yours. >> at that time america had never fought in a war of that nature, so looked like the hail mary. today we wouldn't be sitting here as we know it had germany won. >> robin: the heroism of these men, helping pave the way to prevent the collapse of the allies. >> there's no other way. >> robin: setting the stage for the u.s. to emerge a global power. folks who are more familiar with ww ii as opposed to world war i. you have to remember, this was a time america did not

want to go to war. it was reluctant to enter the war. general pershing pretty much had to put together a military because we didn't have one, so to speak. then couple decades later we are in world war ii. >> whit: extraordinary. >> michael: we became the world power. >> robin: the great war continues tonight 8 p.m. on the history channel. let's go back now to ginger. >> ginger: robin, we can't wait to watch. thank you. the desert southwest starting to heat up, sedona arizona looking pretty on memorial day. but today into the week we're going to see some numbers up to close to 105 for phoenix which would be their first for the season. that's the big picture. let's get a check closer to home.
