this morning new details on how biden came to the decision to exit the race uncertainty ahead. could anyone else win the nomination? reaction from capitol hill and the trump campaign. >> robin: vice president harris hitting the ground running. dozens of top lawmakers and party officials quickly lining up behind the vp as she looks to make history again. >> america must trust women. america must honor individual choice. america must defend freedoms. >> robin: the issues that define her and who could join her on the democratic ticket? we have full team coverage this morning. >> whit: secret service director set to testify before a house committee about the assassination attempt on donald trump. >> george: dangerously low altitude. the moment a southwest plane dipped then surged back into the sky. was there a distraction in the cockpit? >> whit: fast moving wild fires across the west.

more than 60 burning right now, scorching 700,000 acres. matt gutman on the scene in riverside, california. >> robin: fresh off their blockbuster world tour. >> first time handlers have ever let him outside. >> what? what did you say? >> nothing. you're so tall. >> robin: run ryan. are hugh ready for these super heroes to race to times square? >> who is next? >> robin: i just said we're next, hugh. >> give the people what they came for. >> robin: the people want ryan reynolds and hugh jackman, live on gma to answer our prayers, and a few question, too. >> announcer: live in times square, this is "good morning america." >> robin: good morning america. indeed a lot to get to on this monday morning. it hasn't even been 24 hours since president biden made that decision that no sitting president has ever made, dropping out of the race this close to election day, with less than a month to go until the dnc. >> whit: in an open convention

the delegates would be the true deciders. this is the first time in more than five decades where the delegates are all free to vote as they choose and have the final say. >> george: it was already the most unusual race in american history. between two former presidents, one a convicted felon who tried to overturn an election he lost, then survived an assassination attempt. now biden is the first incumbent since lyndon b. johnson to give up chance for a second term. president biden and dozens of democratic lawmakers have endorsed kamala harris. she's the front runner for the nomination. but with the convention less than a month away, a fight for the nomination is still possible. we have team coverage. chief white house correspondent mary bruce starts us off. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, this decision was always joe biden's to make and his alone, but ultimately the pressure was just too much to bear. the president now giving up the job he spent a life time working towards. now this morning all eyes are on vice president kamala harris. we are outside of her residence at the naval observatory. we will get our first glimpse of

her this morning after a whirl wind 24 hours that catapulted kamala harris from the vice president to potentially the top of the ticket. 24 days after his disastrous debate performance with the relentless pressure from his own party only growing, president biden abandoning his bid for a second term. writing to his fellow americans, it has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president. while it has been my intention to seek re-election, i believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term. the announcement a political earthquake, one that surprised even his own campaign and white house staff. it took biden more than three weeks to get to this point. in the days after the debate, he was defiant. >> i am running and gonna win again! i am all in! my word i am all in. >> reporter: biden insisting in

an interview with george that nothing short of divine intervention could make him leave this race. >> if the lord almighty said, joe, get out of the race, i'd get out of the race. the lord almighty is not coming down. >> i agree the lord is not coming down but if you are told reliably from your friends and supporters from the democratic party and house and senate that they're concerned you're going to lose the house and senate if you stay in, what will you do? >> i'm not going to answer that question. it's not going to happen. >> reporter: the pressure only grew. top democrats in congress, chuck shumer and hakeem jefferies telling biden to his face he would lose and take democrats down with him in november. the former speaker of the house nancy pelosi sharing a similar message. even though biden insisted he was firmly in the race, she went on tv and called it an open question. >> it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run. we're all encouraging him to

make that decision because time is running short. >> reporter: in the end, 40 democratic lawmakers came out against the president. >> i do not think he is the best person to go into this election. i think if he is our nominee, i think we lose. >> reporter: then another blow. biden forced off the trail by a covid diagnosis isolating in his beach house in delaware, reckoning with his political reality. huddled with just his closest advisers and family, sources tell us saturday night the president began to come to his decision. sunday morning he started making calls, letting the vice president know of his decision. sources say the two of them speaking several times throughout the day. then at 1:45 p.m., the president alerting his staff on a call. just one minute later releasing his letter to the world. first lady jill biden forwarding her husband's announcement with a heart. her office telling us she was supportive of whatever road he chose.

she's his biggest believer, champion and always on his side. and from the president's son hunter, an emotional statement. for my entire life, i have looked at my dad in awe. how could he suffer so much heartache and give so much whatever remained of his heart to others. i'm so lucky to get to tell him i love him and thank him. i ask all americans to join me tonight in doing the same. praise for the president pouring in. >> he's grounded in his faith, in his family and in our state. excuse me. i'm sorry. this was a very difficult decision. one that i think reflects the very best of who joe biden is. >> reporter: pelosi calling him a patriotic american who has always put our country first and one of the most consequential presidents in american history. those words echoed by former president obama who called biden one of the most consequential presidents and a dear friend and patriot of the highest order. with the political shock still

setting in, president biden wasting no time in endorsing his vice president, kamala harris, to take his place atop the ticket, calling picking her the best decision i have made and urging democrats to come together and beat trump. >> do we believe in the promise of america? and are we ready to fight for it? >> reporter: harris, who's been hitting the trail hard in recent weeks, praising biden for making the difficult decision writing, with this selfless and patriotic act, president biden is doing what he has done throughout his life service, putting the american people and our country above everything else. then making clear she's all in. saying my intention is to earn and win this nomination. we have 107 days until election day. together we will fight and together we will win. this morning many top party leaders swiftly rallying around harris as she's working the phones, reaching out to key democrats. bill and hillary clinton

writing, now is the time to support kamala harris. harris also getting key endorsements from the congressional black caucus and several key governors like gavin newsom, josh shapiro and roy cooper all lining up behind her. the biden campaign this morning now full steam ahead for harris, even filing the paperwork. the campaign now officially harris for president. and there is no question right now that kamala harris is now the front runner in this race. she could, of course, become the first black woman, first asian-american to top a ticket. we will see her later this morning at an event at the white house and we do expect her to be back on the campaign trail very soon. >> george: mary bruce, thank you very much. >> robin: now the republican reaction on capitol hill.

many are calling for president biden to resign immediately, as the trump campaign shifts its focus to vice president harris. rachel scott, you know she's tracking it all for us. good morning to you, rachel. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning. within minutes of president biden making this decision to drop out of the race, republicans on capitol hill called for him to step down immediately. house speaker mike johnson second in line to the presidency leading those calls, insisting if joe biden is not fit to run for president, he's not fit to serve as president, adding he must resign the office immediately. some republicans even threatening legal action over a change in the democratic ticket but that will likely be an uphill challenge. this is now a major campaign reset, to say the least. with just over 100 days to go until the november election. it's a curve ball the trump campaign was preparing for, but this is not one they wanted. trump's play book so far has been to attack, attack, attack. the former president who just days ago said he wanted to focus on unity, now calling president biden the worst president in american history and his running

mate saying harris owns all the failures of the biden administration. harris may not be the democratic nominee just yet, but the republican national committee is already out with ads attacking her record. >> robin: rachel, all right. we're going to take a closer look at the state of the race. rick klein is joining us with what's next and the latest polls. president biden, yes, endorsed vice president kamala harris. that does not make her the nominee. we are in uncharted territory here, rick. >> good morning, robin. there is no script for what happens next. democrats and this brand new harris campaign are working feverishly to try to make this process as ordinarily as possible. no one wins without the support of delegates. that's why the harris camp is trying to reach out to as many people as possible, get as many endorsements lined up as possible. the convention begins four weeks from today. democrats are pushing to get this done through a virtual role call the first week of augusto lock this away and prevent the chaos and unpredictability of what would truly be an open

convention where 4700 delegates are free to do what they wish. that's what they don't want. that's why the momentum for harris, robin. >> robin: if harris is the nominee, it will still be a close race. >> it will be a close race. it's very early. this is all hypothetical so far. but keep in mind that harris is running a little better than joe biden. at least preliminarily. there was a poll out that we did a month ago that had her up three points over donald trump. a poll that came out in the wake of that assassination attempt had it a dead tie 44/44. here's the reason some democrats might be optimistic about her chances. this is the approval rating among key constituencies. her approval among black voters 55%, substantially better than joe biden's better, substantially better than trump's number. trump has been appealing to black voters. that's a big number. also latino voters harris

perceived slightly better than joe biden. >> robin: she is the front runner. looks like she will be the nominee. some of her potential running mates don't appear to be that well known, rick. >> this is an interesting reality check how politics registers at this stage. most of the people we're talking about as potential running mates are barely known by the american people. people like the governor of michigan, pennsylvania, illinois, kentucky. you're talking about somewhere between 60% and 80% of the country who has no idea who they are. don't have enough information to make an opinion. it tells you about the unpredictability of this moment. there's some upside for some of those individuals but there's a lot of risk involved, too. >> robin: all right, rick. our thanks to you. george? >> george: let's get more with jon karl along with mary and rachel. jon, in the end, president biden really had no choice. it's almost as if, in the days since the debate, the democratic party held another primary. >> absolutely, george. no choice at all. he was left as the leader of a party that no longer wanted him as a leader. you had the entire elected leadership. you had basically the elder statesmen of the party.

basically obama never came out publicly, but it was clear what he thought. pelosi. this was something he just absolutely had to do. and, you know, now the party is breathing a sigh of relief. we don't know what's going to happen in this race. you can tell what donald trump thinks. he's obviously it's been scrambled. he was headed towards what he thought was a certain victory against joe biden. now you see an all out meltdown in his posts overnight. they're worried about a race that they can't predict. >> george: mary it does seem that the democratic party has closed ranks around kamala harris. we have manchin talking about pursuing a process. but the endorsements came in fast and furious. >> they did. it is very clear, she is the front runner. the party very much coalescing around her. in part because time is short here. in exactly one month from today a nominee is going to take the stage at the democratic national convention to deliver a keynote.

there's not a lot of time for challengers to come out. not a lot of time to turn this around. kamala harris, i am told, spent all day yesterday working the phones reaching out to hundred leaders in the party. senators, lawmakers, labor leaders. you name it. she knows she needs to unite the party behind her. she is going to be getting out there quickly, hitting the trails in the coming days. she knows how to articulate the arguments in this campaign and she knows she has to get out there and make the case against donald trump fast. >> george: the trump campaign really hoping president biden was going to stay in. now they're turning their sights on kamala harris. >> the trump campaign wanted it to be president joe biden on the ticket in november. there's no question. they thought with the questions about his age and mental fitness, they were hoping for yet another debate with joe biden right before the election, that he would be destined to defeat president biden on the november ballot. that has now all changed. as jon mentioned, you could tell

just how irritated and frustrated former president trump is just by looking at his social media page. he has been complaining of all of this change in the race. republicans are still trying to figure out a coordinated message how they'll take on harris. they have opposition books ready for harris and others. >> george: choose your adjective, shakespearean, biblical, historic, no one knows what's going to happen. >> i'm going to say shakespearean above all. this race was going to have the olest party nominee in history, joe biden. it still has the oldest major party nominee, but it's donald trump. >> george: thank you very much. whit? >> whit: democratic donors played a big role over the past few weeks. many appear to be coalescing around vice president harris as she works to win over key players. our senior white house correspondent selena wang has the latest on that from delaware. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. vice president harris already raised a flood of cash.

since yesterday she's raised more than $49 million from small dollar donors. that is more than the biden campaign ever raised in a single day this cycle. we're learning she's been working the phones making calls to more than 100 people including to governors of pennsylvania and kentucky, two people who both have been floated as her possible running mates. the biden campaign has become the harris campaign. that means she's getting their $96 million of cash on hand so anyone else who wants to challenge harris would be starting from way behind. major donors tell me they're very quickly coalescing around the vice president, even those who would prefer another candidate, because they know time is running out. vice president harris has got a very busy week ahead of her. i'm told she will be traveling to battleground wisconsin and indiana. but, look, the scrutiny she will be facing will be totally different now that she's trying to run at the top of the ticket. she could make history if she becomes the first black woman and asian american to become the

nominee. guys? >> george: okay, selina, thanks. we'll take a closer look at vice president harris. another big question out there, who will she choose to run on this history making ticket? >> whit: fallout from the assassination attempt on donald trump. >> robin: and scare in the air involving a southwest flight. but first good morning, ginger. >> ginger: good morning. it is hot, smoky and a lot of wild fires out west. we're going to check in on one of those fires in southern california. there have been three structures destroyed, four that have been damaged, but 1500 homes are threatened. there are a lot of people evacuated and wondering what's going to happen next. in oregon we've had several big fires. this is the battle mountain complex fire. more than 30,000 acres burning. look at all the fires then you know there's smoke. smoke at the ground. really tough air condition all the way into the plains and

sore throat, common cold symptoms, flu or flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar, and redness, pain, or bruising at the injection site. we won't let another heart attack set us back. and neither should you. listen to your heart. lower your ldl-c and your risk with repatha. talk to your doctor. ♪ behr behr behr behrrr behr behr behr ♪ ♪ behrrr behr behr behr behr ♪ ♪ behr behr behr behr behrrrrr ♪ right now, get america's most trusted paint brand at an everyday low price. ♪ behr behr behr behrrrr ♪ no, no. starting at $29.98. did you know that if you shave, 1/3rd of what you remove is skin?

is the front runner for the democratic presidential nomination after president biden stepped aside he endorsed the vp. so far dozens of members of congress have followed suit. 20/20 co-anchor deborah roberts is here with a look at vice president harris. good morning, deb. >> morning, robin. it's not a lock. harris vows to earn this nomination for president. many are noting that she is poised to possibly shatter that elusive glass ceiling in american politics. it's a moment she's become familiar with since the start of her public service career. >> when we fight, we win! >> reporter: this morning all eyes on vice president kamala harris. president biden endorsing his vp as the democratic nominee and 59-year-old harris accepting. >> i do solemnly swear -- >> reporter: she made history as the first vice president. a a form san francisco prosecutor she was elected california's attorney general.

the first female and first person of color in that position before going on to be elected to the u.s. senate in 2017. harris became known for her work on the judicial and intelligence committees, with a strong stance on civil and abortion rights which she grilled future supreme court justice brett kavanagh about. >> can you think of any law that gives the government the power to make decisions about the male body? >> i'm not thinking of any right now. >> reporter: as vice president harris has taken the lead on the abortion rights issue following the security's overturning of roe v. wade. >> america must trust women. america must honor individual choice. america must defend freedoms. >> reporter: she's also taking on immigration and in 2021 president biden tasking her to lead the diplomatic efforts with

three central american countries to address the root causes of migration. the white house praising her work. but after migrant encounters hit record levels before decreasing, republicans hit harris on the hot button issue. >> kamala had one job, one job. and that was to fix the border. now imagine her in charge of the entire country. >> reporter: before her vp role, harris had presidential ambitions taking on former president donald trump. >> he's tearing us apart. she'll bring us together. >> reporter: married for ten years, harris is known as mamala to her stepchildren. when she was chosen as vice president she reflected on the historic moment with robin. >> i will be the first but i will not be the last, you know? i was raised by a mother who said that to me all the time. kamala, you may be the first tot

do many things. make sure you're not the last. that's how i feel about this moment. >> if harris secures the nomination, the big question some are asking, who will complete her history making ticket? some of the names being thrown about as possible vp contenders for harris are north carolina governor roy cooper, governor of pennsylvania, josh shapiro, kentucky's governor andy deshear, gretchen whitmer, among others. the guessing game continues, george, with just less than a month to go. >> george: senator mark kelly of arizona in that list as well. let's bring in donna brazile, former dnc chair, and former governor chris christie. donna, let me begin with you. you probably know more about this nomination process at the convention than any person in the country right now. walk everybody through what's going to happen next. i should say you have endorsed kamala harris. do you expect her to get it in the end? >> george, first of all, i want

to say thank you to president biden for his outstanding leadership. he's been a great, wonderful impactful president. we are extremely grateful that he has passed this torch on to vice president kamala harris. as you well known, the convention now the open. we will have a transparent process. the vice president has been making hundreds of calls. she will continue to make those calls today. yesterday when i was on the phone with labor leaders, with political leaders from across the board, i kept telling everybody this is a race for delegates. we must secure the delegates. she must ensure every delegation is touched so that she can try to get the 3,800 delegates that the president had. she only needses about 1,900. we're going to continue to get the endorsements and, hopefully, some point today or tomorrow the vice president will have enough delegates to secure the nomination.

>> george: that quickly? okay, donna, thanks. nothing about this campaign has been linear at all. what's your gut sense of what this does to the race? it >> changes it. what's going to determine how it changes is how these two candidates now perform in this new dynamic. right? here's kamala harris going from number two to number one like that. it's gonna take a real transformation on her part. she's going to have to perform. everyone's going to be watching her closely. donald trump is not going to have a different dynamic. eight years ago he want against a woman for president. when he did, clinton was a more known quantity and, quote frankly, was disliked by a lot of voter. kamala harris is not personally disliked. there's a question of respect and whether they respect her or not. that's going to be in her control now. if she performs well she'll make this a close race. >> george: probably the most significant fact that's been consistent through the last year

and a half is the voters weren't happy with both choices. >> no doubt. you'll see a lot of people relieved -- not thrilled. if you look apartment vice president harris' numbers, they're not super. that's why she's got to get a running mate like some of the people who were just listed. someone who has run a government before. i think she's unvariably going to go with a governor, to try to balance this ticket and try to bring one of those key states. for me josh shapiro would be the first person on my list. he has approval ratings in the high 60s in pennsylvania. if he can deliver pennsylvania that allows them to play in michigan, wisconsin, arizona and places they need to try to keep from biden's coalition four years ago. >> george: donna, what's your sense of where things stand now on who she'll pick as vice president? >> well, i haven't been focusing on that. i have been focusing on making sure she can secure the nomination. she has an embarrassment of riches. governor christie mentioned the governor of pennsylvania.

there's the governor of michigan. we have so many great democratic governors across the country. we also have a wonderful basket of senators who i also believe will bring not only the kind of expertise and experience that the vice president will look for in a number two, but also someone who can help her campaign across the country, to reach out to independents. reach out to some of the democrats the president was challenged by and i do believe she's going to have a great pick and we're going to unify the party and win in november. >> george: thank you both very much. >> whit: george, thank you. coming up next the latest scare in the sky, putting southwest under the microscope. est under . ♪ ♪ what's the average household income? is there a mall? i don't know. a hair salon? where do you get your hair done?

bud. >> reporter: kylie kelce speaking out shutting down recent pregnancy rumors and revealed she suffered a miscarriage before the birth of her first child. >> i cannot stand people writing such insensitive articles about such a sensitive topic. really lights my fire. i had a miscarriage before wyatt. i spent in for my 13 week ultrasound and there was no heart beat. >> reporter: the mother of three and wife to former philadelphia eagles center jason kelce adding that she does not take pregnancy lightly. >> we need to just be in agreement that this is not a topic that anyone needs to be first on reporting. let the parents say it when they're good and ready. >> reporter: according to the american college of obstetrician, early pregnancy loss is common occurring in 10% of known pregnancies. miscarriages in general are very common. the most common cause of a miscarriage usually occurring in

the first trimester is because of chromosomal abnormalities. >> reporter: experts stress that when discussing pregnancy, it should be up to the expecting parents to lead the conversation. >> it is important never to ask, even if you suspect, to allow a woman to share that special news, being comfortable with knowing it is her news to share and being happy when she shares that. >> there are so many reason we shouldn't ask people if they are pregnant. what if they had a miscarriage. what if they just ate a cheese burger? it's exciting news. the decision on when to share that news can be complicated so we really need to give people space to do it on their terms, guys. >> george: thank you, eva. now families and friends who buy groceries together to save money. called bulk sharing. we first saw the story in "the wall street journal." elizabeth schulze will tell us how it work. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, george. we know that wholesale retailers like costco and sam's can be enticing with lower prices.

one of the risks when shopping on your own is you don't always need all of that food in bulk. some families are turning to a creative solution to get more bang for their buck. banding together to buy in bulk at big box stores like costco and sam's club. families are joining forces, splitting up bulk grocery purchases to save on their spending. marissa splits bulk items with her sister jill. >> i don't need 40 bags of this toddler snack. do you want to go halves on it and i'll send 20 bags for you and keep 20 bags and vice versa. >> reporter: for christy's family of five in new jersey it's a strategy that helped reduce food cost by nearly $75 every week. >> when i buy in bulk, sometimes it's too much so i'll share with christy. >> reporter: christy coordinates bulk grocery runs with her mom janet. they split the bill and then divvy up food like can't lopes and bananas.

>> i'm like, is this something we can wait and get at sam's? i'd rather not spend the nice at the grocery store. >> reporter: data shows grocery prices are stablizing after rampant increases the past three years, but the typical family is still spending 11% of its disposable income on food. the highest level in three decades. experts warn shoppers shouldn't always assume buying in bulk is cheaper. >> if your groups are the type that would go and buy very expensive prewrapped charcuterie boards or precut vegetables and then you try to split that up, the price that you are actually saving isn't that much relative to you just going and purchasing the vegetables or the meat on your own. >> reporter: okay. so generally buying in bulk will save you money when you're buying nonperishables. keep an eye on those ebbing expiration dates.

keep in mind costco has been cracking down on membership card sharing. they check your i.d. now at self checkout. you can add one house mold member to your card. both costco and sam's will let you bring two guests. for the families that we talked to, this bulk sharing strategy really does work best when there's one dedicated family member who goes shopping, sticks to the list and then come backes with the grocery haul and divvies up the bill. this kind of does work best when you have family that live nearby or the stores are nearby. you don't want to be adding on too much extra driving time. george? jess elizabeth, thank you. >> ginger: washington, d.c. telling us they've got low clouds and elevated flash flood risks today. but that is on top of having a drought. we've got severe or moderate

drought in many parts of the mid-atlantic. washington, d.c. itself about 5 inches below average for the summer so far. it's been about a month of not having a lot of rain. that's going to change with this stationary front in place, this thing stalls. much of this week we'll have moisture whip up against it. you've got that elevated risk all the way to south carolina today. this is today and tomorrow texas and parts of western alabama. >> whit: time now for pop news with lara. good morning. >> lara: thank you. good morning to you.

then it's a race. i'm going to give it away. you were good. you won. >> lara: i got lucky. you will see why later. like motor cross where they bang into each other on the rapids. >> intense. >> lara: motor cross on water and rapids included with a drop. >> george: that's insane. >> lara: it is insane. >> it was really insane when we did it. >> lara: the boss said why don't you try that? thank you. we also trained with olympic athletes in ping pong. i have to say you were exceptional with that. that's our 21-year-old american hopeful amy wang. she was amazing. >> she was really good man who tried out for the team. that's us in our outfits. yeah, it was less artistic. i mean, laura was artistic. i was more like a drowning bear. that was really not good. it was more. >> yeah, artistic and swimming. not two words that were included in the performances. but we did

get billie mae tried out for the team. he made it right there to the end. you'll hear his story. and he also showed us some moves. you guys are all in. we're all in. we're all in shame. >> you're so upset about this assignment. >> i know you know we love sports. >> we do. we love paris, and we love paris. >> so we win. we yes. so yes, we have other sports to show you as well. i was with miles chamley-watson for fencing. he's expected to possibly go gold guys. so another one to root for the usa. and we'll we'll be doing it all week. it starts this week. wonderful, wonderful. >> we're so excited for you. >> okay. and a little worried about seeing. no, no no you see a little bit. >> but what we're not worried about hugh jackman is here. there outside ryan reynolds. we cannot wait. oh, it's great to catch up with them. they went outside to meet the throngs of people that are out here. they cannot wait. so much buzz for the movie. and we'll talk to those two when we come back here

[ applause ] >> so good to be here.

kids, hi, leah, summer. >> somewhere someone at disney went scramble. yes. somebody in papa new guinea who hasn't heard of us. >> george: you were here in 2017 and said you were done with wolverine. >> i believed it. i said the best lies are when you believe them yourself. i actually thought i had done everything i could. i couldn't think of anything else. and logan, i was so excited about it. three days after announcing it i watched deadpool 1. somewhere in my head i was like, oops. i could see the movie. i could see midnight run, 48 hours, the odd couple, planes trains. these two characters which, of course, have their own special place in comic book lore. but i could see it. and a chance to work with ryan. took me awhile to really come around. one day, august 14, 2022, i was driving out east on the lie. i'm like, i want to do the

movie. i pulled over and rang ryan. i knew he was ready to shoot. he was shooting. thankfully, he said yes. >> robin: you remember the exact date and where you were. that tells you something. >> he called me, i had an absolute absence of ideas for a new movie. [ laughter ] yeah. we'd gone back and forth a bunch of times. lot of what we wrote in the movie was real life. deadpool entering the mcu. i think audiences care less about universes and care more about characters and smaller groups of people. we all relate to having a group of people around us, including wolverine. i was basically told all of the characters that i had come in with for the first deadpool movies were not ported over to mcu. it kind of served as the engine for this story to a certain degree. i felt like it was writing itself. when hugh said he would -- when he said he wasn't going to do it again, i had the same reaction. oh, come on.

[ laughter ] finally put these guys together. so sad. then when he made -- also, when a friend calls you in this day and age. >> george: it's ringing? >> took two full sentences. it was just the call that quite literally changed my life, you know? >> george: we had your director shawn levy here last week. he did great in his first network interview. >> directors on morning television? respect is insane. i don't understand. is this 1950s italy? wow. i'm so happy. >> george: you are actually showing what he said was at the heart of the movie. some ways it's a movie about friendship. >> it really is. >> yep. >> we are genuinely great friends. i had to pinch myself every

single day. we took a photo which we don't have to show you. on the first day of shawn, me and ryan. we were hugging and our foreheads were touching. let's not forget this moment and this opportunity. the movie has come out even better than i imagined. i'm so glad i'm not on the cutting room floor because he threatened it every day. >> i ultimately, yeah, we recognized that it was lightning in a bottle. it was a once in a life time movie. it wasn't a commercial for another movie. it was a complete experience. we had the full support of this incredible studio. it would be fun to say disney and marvel pushed back, but they were the best partners. i chock that up to being prepared. we were all extremely prepared. i think we make movies responsibly. we filter everything through the prism of communication and collaboration. i think that should always

include the people writing the check for the movie as well. they were awesome. i can't believe they let us get away with some stuff. [ laughter ] it is a little shocking but, yeah. >> robin: we can't believe they have given us this exclusive never before seen clip of the movie. >> oh boy. >> robin: here it is. >> so what made you finally wear an honest to god costume? >> mine's red so they can't see me bleed. but i could see how yellow would be good, too. >> have you been checked for adhd? >> no, but i have had several std's which were probably caused by adhd. [ laughter ] >> good morning. sorry. i am sorry. >> our final program. we thank you for your allegiance and loyalty for all these years. [ laughter ] >> robin: the yellow and blue. the yellow and blue. >> actually, when i called ryan, literally on that phone call he said, if we did this, it has to be yellow and blue. i said, let's try it.

it had been talked about for 24 years. universal believed, not sure it will work. the moment i put it on, i remember walking on set. him in deadpool, me in the yellow and blue. this jaded crew that have done 100 movies. you could hear a pin drop. i can't imagine doing it any other way. in fact, i sleep in it. >> i said lavender body stocking. he heard yellow and blue super hero suit. whatever. >> george: tell us about going to madonna to get permission. >> one, i wasn't invited. >> we wanted the meeting to be tense and last longer. you are far too likable and charming. that was a genuine -- another once in a life time opportunity to talk to madonna. she doesn't lie since songs particularly "like a prayer" like that.

i was so nervous, partly because it's madonna. i even asked the person organizing it. do i say madonna? do i bow? is blinking insulting? [ laughter ] but this song had been in my head for six years since we just finished deadpool 2. i had been thinking about this song for a particular sequence in this movie. i went in just on my back foot. madonna was gracious. not only gracious, she gave us an idea or thought she had, musically with the piece in the movie that ended up being like a game changer. >> george: what? >> who knew madonna would have a genius level understanding of music and its application to pop culture? so, yeah. it was pretty good. at one point she sang back a little chorus of "like a prayer." shawn is with me. do you realize she is singing the song right now! in your face! [ laughter ] amazing. >> robin: oh my gosh.

you guys are so great, always. especially when you're out on a press tour. i have exhibit a. exhibit a. should we go to, i believe this was south korea. water bomb festival. >> oh boy. right? >> yeah. >> good job, by the way. [ laughter ] >> robin: ryan, your lovely wife blake. what does she label this? boys gone wild. that's boys gone wild. is that fair assessment? >> i told her that was water. i'd say it was pretty -- one of the great treats of our job is you get to go to different cities, cultures. they gave us sometime to play and see some of the sights and experience it which i think is really important. not just for us but for the people that live there. you don't just go and take a picture with the one thing everybody takes a picture with. you jump in and have fun.

that was the water bomb festival. incredible. >> what a brilliant idea. >> he and i were walking corpses as we walked into it. i'm so jet lagged. i don't think i can do this. we get out there, thousands with water -- >> 10,000 people shooting you with water guns. i'm like, wow, i'm getting really wet. i feel like i'm under water. when i realize ryan was aiming at me. then it was all bets were off. >> one of the best moments of my life. >> this thing is removable. i might put this on my bed. this awesome. >> are you kidding me? >> today is washing day. i don't have to do it. >> beautiful throw or shawl. let's qvc it. just give me the graphic. let's go. >> how many do we have to sell in the next hour? >> we have to sell one because that's all we have. >> george: we have to sell something. we have to go to commercial break. thank you for coming in. deadpool and wolverine hits theaters friday. coming up we're honoring a couple real life heroes. >> robin: so don't go anywhere.

>> done. we're not going anywhere.

it's piled high with tender beef that's slow cooked and smothered in tangy memphis style barbecue sauce. it's no fuss, no muss. just tons of flavor. the best barbecue beef is only a togo's. try one today.

>> robin: i got this. i got this. welcome back. everyone so excited for this summer's huge super hero movie deadpool and wolverine. now we want to honor a couple real life heroes. these are both security guards at new york presbyterian hospitals who sprang into action when they saw someone in need.

give it up to these two real life heroes. hey, guys. you're on your way home. hop on the subway. then what happened? >> there was a gentleman in the tracks tried to wake him up. he wasn't being responsive so i jumped onto the train tracks and tried to lift him up. but he wasn't moving. he eventually came to. i picked him up off the train tracks and put him on the platform. >> robin: without even thinking you just sprang into action? >> it was instinct. i would do what i hope someone would do for my family. i just jumped in and took action. >> robin: that's so great. thank you, eddie. so you're at the hospital working. somebody comes in and screams, hey, having a baby in the car. so you have to rush out. she couldn't even make it into the hospital? >> no, she couldn't. thankfully we responded quickly. secured the baby, made sure

everything was okay until medical arrived. >> robin: you go running out. you put on your gloves and? >> gentleman was holding the baby but very unsecure. just stablized everything and hang on for dear life to wait for the experts arrive. >> robin: has that ever happened before? >> thankfully, no. >> robin: okay. just checking. >> it was amazing. >> robin: i'm glad you were there to help out, both of you. i know you are big marvel fans. >> absolutely. >> robin: fans of the movie and the franchise. you are real life heroes. so we want ryan and hugh to come out because they have a special surprise for you, guys. come on out. come on out. [ applause ] yes! eddie, rabeure. >> thank you. >> thank you to you, man. >> robin: what do you have for them? >> we have these official

premiere movie tickets shrunk down to a practical size. you should have seen the big ones. yeah. hugh will not walk out and give anyone anything without a whole lot of dry ice. that's just how he rolls. >> robin: you're going to the premiere tonight. >> oh, wow. [ applause ] >> robin: yes. >> appreciate it. thank you. >> we'll definitely make time for this. >> robin: do we have some swag? do we have some merch? i see it coming in. oh, there it is right there. >> they're not really doing much. >> do they do money over at disney? >> robin: look at those big boxes. >> we're gonna get you something. i have four, i believe four children. sounds like you know exactly what to do to save every one of

them. you got this. save them from me. >> in all seriousness, thank you for what you do. not just that moment that has today defined you, but every day. >> that's what presbyterian is about, just taking care of people. >> how long have you been on the force? >> i have been for one year. >> how about you? >> five years. it's been amazing. >> thanks. >> robin: you're really good at this. you just hopped in there with the interview like that. >> whole self-defense mechanism. >> robin: thank you all. have fun tonight. take lots of pictures. >> we will. [ applause ] >> robin: all right. real life heroes. you can see deadpool and wolverine in theater. we have to wait until friday. you get to see it tonight. ginger? >> ginger: i can't wait. thank you all so much for your service. so many of us have been captivated by the story of gypsy rose. tonight you can watch the season

of the mold, to see that joy they feel inside, that is unmatched. that is exactly why i do this. >> lara: i love this idea of soap therapy. coach kb is with us now. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> lara: how often are you doing these classes, these meditating soap classs? >> monday through saturday. we have three classes 3:30 and 7:00 p.m. we also give a chance to go into corporations and give them team building environments as well. >> lara: you said it really changed your life. >> it did. >> lara: you were ready to live again. that's how the name came to be. >> yes. >> lara: what stands out as being the most personally rewarding? >> yes, absolutely. getting a chance to really represent the underdog. that underserved community. especially our black and brown communities. we get a chance to have a veteran find peace, or a senior

citizen get a chance to create joy in their hands again, or going to at risk outand allowing them a chance to just get confidence. we go into corporations where the morale is down. the morale is down in the world. we give them a chance for team building and collaboration. that's the most prewarding. >> lara: amazing what you do. i know you have applied for an empower her innovation grant. >> yes. >> lara: that helps business survive. you haven't heard back yet from them. >> no, i have not yet. >> lara: well, we have some news for you. we have someone here to help share that news. come on out. news special report. >> good morning, i'm stephanie ramos. we are coming on the air because vice president kamala harris has just made her first public comments since president biden withdrew from the race for president, making her the presumptive democratic party

nominee. president biden is still recovering from covid at his home in rehoboth beach, delaware. vice president harris on the south lawn of the white house today for an event celebrating ncaa championship teams. let's listen to the vice president joe biden's legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history. >> in one term, he has already yes, you may clap he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office. and i first came to know president biden through his son, beau. we worked together as attorneys general in our states, and back then beau would often tell me stories about his dad. he would talk about the kind of father and the kind of man that joe biden is. the qualities that beau revered in his father are

the same qualities that i have seen every day in our president. his honesty, his integrity, his commitment to his faith and his family. his big heart and his love. deep love of our country. and i am firsthand witness that every day our president joe biden, fights for the american people. and we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation. >> vice president kamala harris there at the white house, her first remarks since being endorsed by president biden yesterday. there is already tremendous speculation about her possible running mate, donald trump, jd vance and house republicans quick to go on the attack, calling on president biden to resign from office. president biden is expected to address the nation about his decision at some point this week. he has already signaled he plans to finish his term. let's

check in with chief white house correspondent mary bruce, who is there at the event. mary >> stephanie. certainly a bit of an unusual setting here for the vice president to come out, given the extraordinary circumstances of the last 24 hours. she is here in front of, as you can tell, a rather rowdy crowd of college athletes. you will note in that soundbite that we just heard there, the vice president today talking a lot about the president, her praise for him, her deep gratitude for him and for the work that they have done together. what you didn't hear vice president kamala harris talking a lot about was her candidacy, though she has made very clear that she is all in on this is all happening very quickly. party leaders, democratic heavyweights coming out, giving their support to vice president kamala harris, sending the message to the party to fall in line that they want to put their weight behind her. certainly, there is still time for others to jump into this

race. but stephanie, right now, vice president kamala harris is certainly the democratic front runner with just a little more than 100 days to go until election day. >> chief white house correspondent mary bruce there at the white house. for us vice president kamala harris making her first appearance after being endorsed by president biden yesterday welcoming ncaa student athletes there at the white house in her role as vice president. but of course, acknowledging president biden and his time in office, saying she came to know president biden by way of his late son, beau biden, talking about the president's time in office, acknowledging his efforts and his actions. and then harris, of course, shifting to the ncaa athletes standing behind her. let's go back to mary bruce there at the white house. mary, we know we are just less than 24 hours since president biden endorsed kamala harris, but what are the next steps? >> well, the next steps actually

will come here very shortly. the vice president is going to be making her way to wilmington, delaware, simply to check in and say hello to what is now her campaign operation. in the last 24 hours, we have seen the biden for president campaign now become the harris for president campaign. all of that campaign infrastructure, all of that fundraising powerhouse now pivoting to back kamala harris. so today she is simply getting to work in this race. she is going to be traveling to wilmington, checking in with her campaign staff. and then we know she does plan to get back out on the road, back out on the trail in the coming days. but stephanie, what a different set of circumstances than the last time that she was out there stumping for joe biden. now she will be out there running herself to be atop the ticket. >> it certainly is a completely different day, a completely different campaign. the vice president tweeting out just a short time ago that today is day one. thank you very much, mary. our coverage continues on abc news live and of course, abc news.com. david muir will be right back here with the entire team for world news tonight. i'm stephanie ramos here in new york. have a good day.
