a packed liberty airport, a newark liberty airport. behind me this line at spirit airlines has been steady throughout the morning. tsa expecting to screen 32 million people between thursday of this past week and july 8th. they say yesterday was the busiest travel day ever, not of the year, ever. and if you're going to be one of those folks traveling there are some things you can do. we want to give you some tips from the airlines. american airlines recommends arriving two hours early for your flight, reserving parking at the airport ahead of time will help and travel with a carry-on if you can, instead of checked bags, will save you time and some money. delta says it expects nearly 6 million customers through next week alone, an increase of 6% from 2023. if you're driving, a lot of people on the roads, as well. more than 60 million americans will be traveling by car. worst time to travel between 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. best time is always in the morning before 10:00 a.m.

overall drivers will be paying a bit less to fill up. so that's some good news. the national average for a gallon of gasoline is about $3.50. roughly 5 cents less than this time last year. california is still the highest price for a gallon, about $4.80. all of these travel numbers that i say are up from last year, they are way up from prepandemic and, gio, i just spoke to 7-year-old paige gibson. curly hair, big smile. she reported that she does not like getting up in the morning. she does not like big crowds, but it's all worth it because she's going to florida with her grandmother to sit by a pool. >> gio: that's the right attitude. >> reporter: with a big smile on her face. >> gio: i bet she did. phil, thank you so much. from you let's go to somara because we're looking at the weather. somara, what will the weather be like? >> somara: for those on the east coast stormy. why started to see -- look at that. like a tornado materialized

there. this is jacksonville, florida. that actually ranked as an ef-1 tornado hitting 100-mile-per-hour winds. here's the storms revving up. today, pittsburgh, i-80 headed towards dubois, that will cross i-81. tomorrow afternoon between about 3:00 and 6:00 we'll see robust storms forming along the corridor. saturday, a few tornados, flash flooding and on sunday, damaging hail, wind and heavy rain or nose on the east coast. that's a look at the forecast across the country. janai, back to you. >> janai: thank you, somara. now to the race for the white house and the shock waves after the first presidential debate of 2024. some even calling for president biden to step aside and leave the race. our white house correspondent maryalice parks is back with this. break it down for us again, maryalice. >> yeah, janai, president biden overnight was hoping to reassure supporters after that poor debate performance. he insisted talking to donors that he can do this job, that he can still win and said he wouldn't be running if he didn't believe that the stakes were too high. it was interesting. in a new move biden acknowledged he has aged. he says i don't speak as

smoothly as i used to. i don't debate as well as i used to but like millions of americans when you get knocked down you get back up. now biden's shaky debate performance, like you said, was absolutely a political earthquake. democrats had just been hoping he'd be able to bring the fight to trump. "the new york times" editorial overnight called for him to step aside. they called former president donald trump a fundamental threat to democracy but wrote biden struggled and once he even struggled to reach the end of a sentence. more than once, i should say he struggled to reach the end of a sentence. we have seen in the last two days, guys, top democrats including hillary clinton, president obama, house leader hakeem jeffries rushing out to publicly support biden, but we don't know yet. we'll know in the next few days whether that's enough to calm these calls for him to step aside. >> janai: publicly. >> gio: publicly, and we will

see what happens. we know you'll stay on it. maryalice, thank you. a sellout crowd filled the sphere in las vegas for the nhl draft. with all the glitz and glamour you'd expect from that city the first overall pick by the sharks was 18-year-old hometown boy macklin celebrini. in a very vegas move, his jacket was taken off to don his jersey for the first time. congratulations to him. >> whit: coming up here in our "gma" morning menu, the 2024 new york pride run is happening this morning. we are live in central park. >> gio: it looks like fun. look at will out there. also, ahead, former nasa astronaut colonel cady coleman is here. what her missions in space can teach us about our time right here on earth. >> janai: music in space. and tory johnson is here with sizzling steals to help you beat the heat. we'll be right back here on "gma."

>> whit: we are back now with our "gma" cover story, the hit "inside out 2" already hitting $1 billion. >> janai: wow. >> whit: at the box office. a huge hit. sparking conversations at home about how we can talk to our kids about their changing emotions as they grow. pediatrician dr. edith bracho-sanchez is joining us to help us out. doctor, welcome. thank you for being here. i have a middle school daughter right now so we're deep in all the new feelings. we saw "inside out 2" earlier this week. the introduction of anxiety into the picture and envy, of course. but how do we have these conversations with our kids about these new emotions entering the picture? >> i love the way this movie handled it. you can tell they consulted with some really smart people in the way they framed the story but what i would say is first recognize anxiety and envy and all those other new emotions are real. there are so many reasons why teens may be feeling anxious these days. this thing we all have by our side. we all used to come home and be

off. kids and teens don't get to just be off when they come home. the first thing is to name it. recognize it's real and understand its role. a little bit of anxiety is a good thing. it can keep us sharp. it can help us perform. the problem is when anxiety runs wild and uncontrolled and it's not balanced out by joy and then reasons -- or the way this might present in your child may be being on edge, being tense. difficulty with relaxing, then at some point difficulty with sleep, right, and headaches. unexplained pains. if any of this is happening definitely seek professional help. >> whit: all of that is happening. [ laughter ] >> janai: we were saying earlier -- >> whit: i'll talk with you later. >> janai: the difference of having a phone versus when you grew up, you could end up and didn't know when you were missing out on things so kids can challenge their parents in these years. how can they be authoritative yet compassionate with kids

going through all these emotions? >> and i love that you ask that because you're trying to balance it out. so the first thing that i would encourage everyone to remember when they have teens at home and tweens is that you remain your child's most trusted source of information and guidance and what we're going for is balanced parenting or lighthouse parenting. we want to be a stable force that kids can measure themselves against, and then we want to be looking out. imagine this lighthouse, right. we want to look down at the rocks making sure our kids are not going to crash and at the same time we're looking out at the waves of life knowing that they're going to learn to ride them because we're going to teach them and be there for them. >> whit: i love that. >> gio: you know, this is not a spoiler because it's right there in the trailer but that puberty button in the control room on "inside out." how do you even begin to have these conversations around that? >> yeah, gio, and it's not just one conversation, this is a series of conversations and it looks different in every household and it is okay to state our family values. we want to start these conversations early.

and we want to say, we are about to go through puberty, we, as a family. we're about to hit adolescence. it doesn't just happen to the teen. it happens to the family. we want to start that early. we want to make sure we keep the conversation going and remain that stable light house parent that we want our kids to know is there for them. >> whit: wow, okay. we'll -- i'll have to reach out later. >> janai: i have a few years but i'm learning from this. >> whit: i have so many questions. dr. edith, thank you for your time. >> gio: that was really great. because we can't get enough, janai, you'll share more about your dream assignment you had hanging out with the pandas. >> janai: it was -- it was incredible. it was so much fun. san diego zoo's newest residents won't be on display for a couple of weeks as they get used to their new home but i have plenty, so much panda content from my trip to china for you to enjoy so check this out. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: long lines lasting

>> gio: all right. i am so excited about this segment here because our next guest is a former nasa astronaut and retired u.s. air force colonel who has been on three missions to space and now she's here to talk about her new book. it's just fantastic. it's called "sharing space." my friend and abc news contributor cady coleman. good morning. >> so nice to be here. >> gio: i'm so proud of you, first of all. this book is so fantastic and i love that you talk about missions, but not just in the way you think about it with space. tell me about that. >> well, i think, you know, it's easy to think a person on one of these patches is on a mission and there we are up on the space station, the six of us. and really, being up there, understanding that if i didn't do my job or help my crew to do their jobs, the mission wouldn't get done made me understand that we all have missions down here on earth and i wrote this book

to share the magic of space, but also the fact that whether it's in your home or your community, at your job, you're there for a reason. you exist for a reason. you know what it is and i've collected some things that really helped me accomplish missions. >> gio: and you have such a beautiful perspective in the way that you look at life, in the way that you look at our planet. but it's also so cool because you also spent six months in space on the international space station. what's the coolest thing you saw? >> i would have spent more if i could. i loved it up there. really, one of the best things was waking up every morning and i -- people always want to know how we sleep. i brought a sleeping bag. >> gio: this is the sleeping bag. >> that's the sleeping bag. i would wake up in this. some people pin it to the wall but i would have mine just floating around. i'd zip myself into it and actually zip my knees up so i could just be a little ball and i would wake up somewhere in my cabin. >> gio: you talk about in the book that you wouldn't know where you would end up. >> i loved that.

it reminded me i'm still here and it's this amazing place where you open the door of the cabin and you fly through the lab and hook a right to look out the window, maybe use the bathroom which i actually talk about in the book too. i mean, people -- >> gio: everybody wonders. >> and it's real stuff and people love to hear it, i think. >> gio: representation for you, you talk about it in the book. it is so important because it's played a role in your life. >> well, i like to -- i met sally ride when i was in college, and it changed -- i just thought -- i never thought this before. i thought maybe i could try to do that. and that's why i put the cover on the book that it has. i wanted to invite people to realize they could be almost anything. and in my experience it works. i mean, i have had people come up to me and say, i saw you in elementary school and now i'm an aerospace engineer. >> gio: wow. >> more than one. it gives me chills to talk about it. the reason it's important, all of us can do that. all of us have the ability to change the next generation by

helping them understand what is possible. >> gio: and you are so amazing and with this book you're also doing exactly that, just as sally ride did for you. >> thank you. >> gio: cady coleman, thank you. >> so nice to see you. >> gio: so good.

>> janai: we are back now and ready to elevate your backyard barbecue this summer. just in time for the fourth july "architectural digest" contributor carrie carollo joins us with her tips and tricks you can do with shopable items. thank you so much for being here, carrie. this looks amazing. let's start by setting the mood. lighting. whit was in love with this too.

>> i love these. setting the mood with lighting is so important on the inside of your space, but outside as well. we have string lights here, first of all. everybody loves these. they're cute and set the ambience. if you hang them up eight to ten feet above the ground, it gives you a nice peripheral vision. next, we have citronella candles. bugs are one thing not invited to our party and these are great for keeping mosquitoes at bay. >> janai: they smell great. >> recommend putting them around your space to create a barrier so no bulges are getting in and finally make sure you're cleaning off light fixtures. they've been sitting out all winter so giving them a quick clean or swapping out bulbs. we love a warm white or soft yellow. >> janai: eight to ten feet around your space. >> exactly. >> janai: i love these details. >> all in the details. >> janai: how about getting that perfect patio look? >> yeah, so our big tip for the patio is really bring in pops of color.

see these pillows we have behind us. great way to do that. these are actually indoor pillows. you can bring them outside for the night. just bring them back in at the end of the night in case of rain or dew or anything like that and on the ground we have great indoor/outdoor rugs. nice way to add a pop of color and cover stains on your patio and these are weatherproof so they'll be good in any sort of weather. you can leave them out. >> janai: so last you suggest creating a garden bar. we've even got some models, the best we could find but tell us how that works. >> whit and gio are enjoying our station over there. >> janai: downing that water. >> exactly. it's really a nice idea to give your guests a designated space to, you know, go to the bar, get a drink. so first we're thinking, you know, you're familiar with farm to table but how about garden to table. so if you're someone who is growing herbs in your backyard -- >> whit: let's get into the

herbs here. >> set out a cute garnish platter beforehand or go to the grocery store and get some citrus. lemons and limes are great in drinks. >> janai: what kind of herbs are you getting into? mint? >> mint, thyme, rosemary and basil. for glassware, these look really great but they're actually acrylic and that's the big tip. these are plastic so they'll be safe for everyone at your party. they're not going to break. great for the kids, pets, all your guests. >> janai: that's good. and i love that because i hosted these guys and we had red solo cups. this is a way to elevate it. >> whit: just a little bit. >> gio: the things she admits on national television. >> janai: keep it classy but keep it functional too.

>> janai: before >> janai: before we go -- >> gio: yes. >> janai: your birthday is next week. >> gio: what? >> whit: happy birthday. >> janai: belated. thank you for watching with us. >> whit: you felt bad because you forgot. have a great morning. have a great morning.

good morning, i'm stephanie sierra. we have new details about the pacifica pier this morning. access will be limited indefinitely because of safety concerns. we're looking live at the pier thanks to photographer david chamberlain. structural engineers determined the pier suffered damage last december from high tides during ongoing construction. access will be limited to a portion of the pier's main deck areas of the piles and handrails will need to be repaired. some funding is still needed for this project as well, and there's no word on a reopening date. well, you can celebrate the 4th of july, but not with a drink in your hand. that's the case at three of lake tahoe's most popular beaches. police will be enforcing the u.s. forest service's ban on alcohol at nevada beach and zephyr cove resort. officials have banned alcohol consumption

at chambers landing beach from july third through july 7th, and infractions could result in fines of up to $5,000. not cheap today in san francisco, a 4th of july parade with an early twist. it's happening along san francisco's great highway. all the floats will be powered by people pedaling, and you can see some of those floats getting all fancy with decor. the friends of the great highway are partnering with the san francisco recreation and parks department to put on this parade, and it follows the great highway from noriega to judah. and the parade starts at noon. nice weather for it, too. let's check in with lisa. >> yes, stephanie, good morning to you. hi, everyone. we've got fog at the coast and the breeze is out there. 64, in hayward, 54, half moon bay, nice and sunny. you can see a bit of the marine layer there. 63 in santa rosa. highs today. anywhere from the low 60s with partial sun, half moon bay to the low to mid 90s inland. >> lisa thank you. up next, a new summer program to crack down

on violent crime. the effort from police in the east bay starting today. abc7

the annual pride parade. along with the festivities, take a look. the rainbow lasers lighting up market street. the big events scheduled today. >> plus i want to say thank you
