ali louis bourzgui joins us live as we say, good morning, america. ♪ how do you think he does it i don't know ♪ ♪ what makes him so good ♪ >> janai: good morning, america. both of you guys are drumming along. we are so excited. >> whit: great music. >> janai: to have a performance from the cast of "the who's tommy." critics saying it's an electrifying revival that blends surreal projections with sensational choreography. >> whit: and amazing music, the who an iconic band. we had them on "gma" performing a few days ago, and we'll talk much more about it. it is national game show day. >> janai: wow. >> whit: we're celebrating with the help of some of our favorite game show hosts. >> gio: plus, the top tips for new interns this summer and those starting a new job. >> whit: also ahead, president biden revealing the offer that's been made to hamas to try to get a cease-fire and get the hostages back home to israel.
8:03 am
but first we do begin this hour with the ongoing reaction to former president trump's criminal conviction in new york and let's go back to abc's maryalice parks. maryalice, good morning. >> whit, good morning. if there was any question that trump might try to put this behind him, that is not what we saw yesterday. instead the former president was airing his grievances railing against everyone involved in this case. biden then also breaking his silence calling trump and republicans' attacks on the legal system dangerous. >> oh, we're going to fight. >> reporter: promising to appeal his conviction, former president trump taking to the microphones to fume and rail about the case against him calling it a scam. >> it was a rigged trial. we wanted a venue change where we could have a fair trial. we didn't get it. we wanted a judge change. we wanted a judge that wasn't conflicted, and obviously he didn't do that. >> reporter: trump convicted as charged on all 34 felony counts, the jury selected by both the prosecution and the defense buying the prosecution's argument that trump illegally worked to falsify business records to console a hush money payment to porn star stormy daniels and keep her story from
8:04 am
voters before the 2016 election. unapologetic and aggressive, trump's remarks rambling at times hard to follow, including misleading claims about how the case unfolded and attacks against president biden, the prosecuting team and the judge. at one point calling him a devil and a tyrant. >> this is a case where if they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. >> reporter: president biden from the white house calling the attacks dangerous. >> it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years and it's the cornerstone of america. >> reporter: biden saying trump had every opportunity to defend himself and will have the opportunity to appeal. >> it was heard by a jury of 12 citizen, 12 americans. not only will he be given the opportunity, as he should, to
8:05 am
appeal that decision just like everyone else has that opportunity. >> last night president biden was asked about trump's claim he was somehow pulling all the strings from d.c. guys, biden brushed it off. he said, i didn't know i was that powerful. making a joke there. >> gio: all right, maryalice. thank you so much for your reporting there and president biden also took the unusual step of announcing what he said was an israeli cease-fire proposal to end the war in gaza. final terms still need to be worked out and hamas has yet to agree. let's bring in abc's britt clennett who joins us now from tel aviv. good morning, britt. >> reporter: good morning, gio. yeah, biden's proposal begins with a six-week cease-fire that demands the idf withdraw from the populated areas of gaza. now, during this initial phase, some of the hostages are to be released. priority likely given to women, the injured and elderly and it's this first part that calls for a ramping up of humanitarian assistance with 600 trucks a day. the second phase leads to a permanent end of hostilities and the final part is a major reconstruction plan for gaza.
8:06 am
now, hamas came out and said it views the proposal positively. biden, though, in his speech acknowledged negotiations between phases 1 and 2 would be difficult. israel is very clear, though, that it must first destroy hamas' military capabilities and only then will it agree to a full cease-fire. and this morning i sat down with foreign policy adviser to israeli prime minister netanyahu and he gave no sign that israel is actually willing to permanently end fighting in the first two phases saying that israel will not settle for anything less than a total victory. now, the government adviser adding that the notion that a permanent cease-fire will kick in without us destroying hamas and freeing our hostages is a nonstarter. janai? >> janai: we will see what comes next. britt clennett, thank you for that. back here at home now the florida sheriff's deputy who fatally shot a black airmen in his home last month has been fired. an investigation found that former deputy eddie duran used unreasonable deadly force. duran fatally shot senior airman

8:11 am
a new study finds that lgbtq+ identifying people are at a higher risk of some cancers possibly due to fear of discrimination. abc news medical correspondent dr. darien sutton joins us now to break it all down. good to see you. >> good morning, how are you? >> gio: so this is pretty surprising. tell us about the study. >> this is the first ever report of its kind focusing on risk factors, specifically within the lgbtq+ community and the reason why it's difficult is because it's been very, very hard to get that information from medical records. if you can assume or try to think about extracting that from medical records to figure out what risk factors we should focus on has been forever difficult. one of the most important numbers here is that 1 million people within the queer community are currently living with cancer and we know that these disparities -- >> gio: wow, 1 million. >> 1 million. we know they exist and talking about delays in the diagnosis, talking about misdiagnosis, worst outcomes, also in certain cancers an increased risk of recurrence so in this report they were able to identify some causes to that. one of them being behavioral
8:12 am
factors. for example, there's a slightly but statistically significant increased risk of alcohol use and cigarette smoking which, of course, is associated to an increased risk of cancer. but what you alluded to, one of the big factors is fear and experiences with discrimination and it's warranted because there are currently nine states that allow or make it legal to discriminate against people based off of their gender identity or their sexual orientation so that fear is warranted and means we have a tremendous amount of work to do. >> gio: knowing that, how do people find providers they're comfortable with. >> i think first and foremost understanding what are your options. checking in with your insurers to figure out -- some insurers have directories that can direct you toward allies. of course, checking in with your friends or family because sometimes people have great recommendations. then there's often wonderful organizations like the glma, the gay and lesbian medical association that can help to find resources for you within your community. >> gio: you and i know so many in our community are facing emotional stress, deep emotional stress. i know you wanted to make sure
8:13 am
to talk about the resources available. >> it's important to talk about resources for mental health. there's higher rates of depression and suicide and knowing about organizations like the trevor project, the lgbt national helpline and translifeline, great organizations that can provide 24/7 options so you can at least have someone to talk to. >> gio: dr. darien sutton, as always, pleasure, thank you so much. whit, over to you. >> whit: thanks so much. we are turning now to the graduates starting to enter the workforce. many young people are taking on their first jobs or accepting internships and joining us now with tips and advice is author and speaker laura gassner otting. laura, good morning to you. great to have you. >> great to be here. thank you. >> whit: as people graduate and out to enter the workforce, what is advice you have for folks whether an internship or a job itself? >> i would say we're all scared about that first job, but the good news is that the bar is actually super low. show up on time. do your homework.
8:14 am
do what you say you're going to do. follow through. but remember that the summer is a time to actually get to know the people around you like follow your boss to the office or join the summer softball league, go to the speaker series or do what i did in my first job actually, like, sign up for the blood drive next to your boss and you get 15 minutes of alone time. >> whit: yeah, i actually tell a lot of interns that come here, part of it is about access, right? it's what you make of it once you get here. and speaking of that too if you're looking for a mentor or somebody who is more senior who might have some helpful tips, how do you go about seeking out that person? >> so, here's the thing, i don't have time to mentor anybody. you don't have time to mentor anybody. but you know what we do have time for, mentoring moments so what i tell young people or people in their first job is go find somebody, ask them a specific question, turn it into a mentoring moment. then follow up, follow through. tell them what you did and then ask them another question later and suddenly these mentoring moments turn into, oh, i didn't realize i'm your mentor. as an added bonus, it also gives
8:15 am
you an opportunity to get lots of different advice from lots of different people about lots of different things. >> whit: i love that too because one question might lead to something else and definitely for those out there, i would recommend following up on that, right? >> always follow up. >> whit: hey, i tried what you suggested and it went well. oh, i have this other question to kind of keep that conversation going. >> absolutely. >> whit: so a lot of graduates still looking for internships now. what specific advice do you have for them? >> i would say if you've gotten through the school, graduate and job moment where we think that's the only time it happens, i would say remember that there are 8 million jobs available out there. so september, october, january and february are tons of hiring that happens in the world. great opportunity to do informational interviews. you do an informational, what you learn? you get the lexicon of what's happening.
8:16 am
how people are speaking, what the trends are and then when an opportunity arises someone actually thinks go you because you're in the deal flow in their mind. >> whit: and so now if people are looking ahead beyond the internship and actually applying for a job, what are some of the specific things they should be looking for in the description of that opportunity? >> so, we've all been told, like, there's one opportunity, there's one definition of success -- the best job, the most prestigious job, the most money, et cetera, but i spent 20 years in recruiting and what i learned success, the perfect job isn't necessarily your dream job. so i would say make sure you're finding something interesting to you. we can't be hungry for someone else's goals and nobody shows up, does their homework and does all these things that we're saying they should do if they're not actually interested. so figure out what matters to you, how success is defined for you and look for that kind of job instead of the one that a parent, a teacher, the internet told you was the perfect job. >> whit: absolutely and remember it's the long game, right? you know, you're not going to get the perfect job right out of school. you have to build towards something ultimately and that takes time. >> that's where your mentor can help. >> whit: exactly. laura, thanks for coming in.
8:17 am
