the nation. reintroducing herself to voters, taking shots at donald trump and, yes, making history, too. overnight kamala harris stepping on to the convention stage and into history. >> on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, i accept your nomination for president of the united states of america. >> reporter: the first black woman and first asian-american to accept the nomination of a major party, sharing her american story. daughter of immigrants, her world view shaped by the strength of her mother. >> she taught us to never complain about injustice, but do something about it. do something about it. that was my mother. and she taught us -- and she also taught us -- she also

taught us, never do anything half assed. and that is a direct quote. >> reporter: harris acknowledging her unusual path to the top of the ticket. >> the path that led me here in recent weeks was, in doubt, unexpected. but i'm no stranger to unlikely journeys. >> reporter: with her family watching proudly on, harris speaking to the urgency of the moment. >> our nation, with this election, has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past. a chance to chart a new way forward. not, not as members of any one party or faction, but as americans. and let me say, i know there are people of various political

views watching tonight. i want you to know. i promise to be a president for all americans. >> reporter: harris arguing donald trump presents a danger to democracy. >> in many ways, donald trump is an unserious man. but the consequences -- but the consequences of putting donald trump back in the white house are extremely serious. just imagine donald trump with no guardrails. >> reporter: the former prosecutor, point by point, laying out her case against trump, saying he would put wealthy americans ahead of the middle class, and continue to endanger reproductive freedoms. >> simply put, they are out of

their minds. one must ask, why exactly is it that they don't trust women? we trust women. we trust women. >> reporter: on foreign policy as the first female commander in chief, harris vowing to stand up to dictators, not idolize them. >> i will not cozy up to dictators like kim jong unwho are rooting for trump, who are rooting for trump. as president, i will never waiver in defense of america's security and ideals because in the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny, i know where i stand, and i know where the united states belongs. >> reporter: on israel/hamas war, vowing to ensure israel's right to defend itself, while also protecting palestinians.

>> what has happened in gaza over the past ten months is devastating. the scale of suffering is heartbreaking. president biden and i are working to end this war, such that israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in gaza ends and the palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination. >> reporter: with 74 days to go, harris with a call to action. >> it is now our turn to do what generations before us have done. guided by optimism and faith to fight for this country we love. to fight for the ideals we cherish. and to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth,

forward. in a rare move, she's not hitting the campaign trail immediately today, but make no mistake this will be an all out sprint to the finish. george, 74 days to go. >> george: okay, mary, thank you very much. let's bring in rachel scott, who's tracking the trump campaign. donald trump went to two of his favorite venues to respond in real time, truth social and fox news. >> reporter: yes, george. donald trump said he was going to be watching this speech in real time. he was. he was clearly frustrated by what he heard. he posted on his social media app, truth social, more than 40 times during the democratic national convention, insisting that kamala harris is all talk and no action. in a series of rambling posts at one point the former president posting in all capital letters, is she talking about me? of course she was. kamala harris went after donald trump on a range of issues, including january 6th, reproductive rights, national security, bipartisan border bill that he tanked. he appeared to grow only more and more frustrated and attempted to defend himself

saying he wants to protect access to ivf and birth control. he went on to defend himself, insisting the bipartisan border security deal that his own party negotiated, that he called on them to reject was weak and ineffective. donald trump's advisers have been pushing him to focus on policy, to turn away from insults and at tax. the former president has been on a blitz during the democratic national convention. just a few hours he is set to appear with independent candidate robert f. kennedy jr. in arizona. sources tell us kennedy is expected to drop out of this race. he has been known for pushing range of conspiracy theories during his short bid for the white house. it's unclear how much of an impact it's going to have on this election, george, with just 74 days to go, it is a dead heat. >> george: thank you very much. let's bring in jonathan karl. jonathan, as i look at who this speech was aimed at last night, i think of a lot of m worsed. moderates, middle class, middle america. >> reporter: absolutely. a direct response to the way donald trump has tried to define

her. they talk about her, the republicans, the trump republicans, as a san francisco liberal, as a radical. they call her comrade kamala. if you take out the section on abortion rights, much of this speech could have been delivered at a republican convention, a republican convention before trump. she talked tough on iran. she promised that as commander in chief, america would have the most lethal and strongest fighting force in the world. she talked tough on russia, on china. she talked about border security. she really gave a speech that was designed to go at independents, moderates, disaffected republicans. the vast majority of undecided voters in the country. a very interesting move. quite a contrast from the way she ran for president the first time when she tried to get the nomination four years ago. this is a kamala harris that sounded a little bit more like maggie thatcher or ronald reagan, especially on national

security, than like bernie sanders. >> george: there's more talk about ronald reagan at the democratic convention than democratic convention. democrats making a play to claim patriotism on their side. >> reporter: yeah. there's an opening there. donald trump has used words like american carnage to talk about america. has portrayed a more isolationist, protectionist view that is at odds with what ronald reagan was all about. this was kamala harris. she didn't say the word city on a hill like ronald reagan did, but full embrace of patriotism. the american flags waving here. the chants of usa, usa, usa. this is a party under kamala harris that is saying that -- appealing to patriotism. you all heard the message from republican speakers every night saying voting for kamala harris is not about being a republican or democrat, it's about being a patriot.

>> george: it will take sometime to see what impact the convention ice had on the polls. we already know her favorability numbers have climbed. >> reporter: this is going to be -- this is likely to be a very close race. but if you look at what's happened. her favorability. she was as unpopular as joe biden was a month ago. her favorability in the polls has steadily gone up over the past four weeks, even before this convention started. >> george: jon karl, thank you very much. gio? >> gio: now record heat, with millions on alert for record breaking temperatures. you know ginger is tracking it all. good morning, ginger. it is hot out there. >> ginger: it's not that it's so hot. it's texas. we have reliable records going back 115 years. we've been writing it down for a long time. never has it been this hot in del rio or san angelo or amarillo. all of them had hottest temperatures on record. we do have daily records possible today.

you'll see some excessive warnings that go from southern oklahoma along the river valley there, wichita falls. could see hot, 114 degrees. be extra careful if any of that time is spent outside. rebecca, they will get a little break in places like abilene, but atlanta by next week starts to feel those records. >> rebecca: all over again, ginger. thank you. we turn to some improving news for home buyers. mortgage rates are dropping and existing home sales are on the rebound. elizabeth schulze is in washington. good morning. >> reporter: this really is welcome relief for home buyers. mortgage rates are at their lowest level since may of last year. the average rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage 6.46%. if you are trying to buy a home of the average price in the u.s. around $400,000, that means your payment is $2500. that's 200 bucks cheaper than last year but still $860 more expensive than three years ago when we saw those rates near an all time low. that is preventing a lot of homeowners who locked in low monthly payments from moving, but we are seeing signs that

buyers who have been delaying the house hunt are getting off the sidelines. home sales increased in july after four straight months of decline. mortgage rates are expected to dip even lower this year as the federal reserve starts to cut borrowing costs likely as soon as next month. we could see clues about just how much the fed will cut rates when the fed chief delivers a major speech later this morning. rebecca? >> rebecca: so many eyes on that speech. so many homeowners, home buyers, would be buyers, renters, everyone is watching this because they've been on the sidelines for so long. hopefully this brings some new homes to market. and maybe some refinancings as well, to make things less expensive. >> let's hope. >> rebecca: yes, we can hope. george? >> george: now the new study on wegovy. researchers say it may significantly slash risk of heart attack and stroke. eva pilgrim with details. >> reporter: good morning, george. these popular weight loss drugs are not on helping people drop

pounds. new study showing these medications can lower a person's risk of heart related issues substantially. the study published in the new england journal of medicine looked at over 17,000 people with preexisting heart disease. it found that long term use of wegovy reduced the risk of heart attack and stroke by 44%. it also reduced the risk of death from end cause in a big way. researchers found people on the medication lost weight and had better blood pressure. now, wegovy is already fda approved to reduce the risk of heart disease for those obese and overweight. it's also approved for weight loss for that same group of people. these studies are critical because this growing data could help clear the way for more people to have access and coverage for this medication, gio. >> gio: such important headlines right there, eva. thank you so much. all right. we're going to the little league world series now, down to the final four teams. our major leaguer, trevor ault, is here to break it all down. hey, trevor.

[ laughter ] we're gonna talk about their hit. what's going on? >> george: excited about that. also excited about one of our favorite guests here. emmy winning actor, director, new york times best seller, producer, kerry washington. welcome back. great to see you. >> thank you. so good to be here. >> george: we want to talk about "unprisoned" but first you hosted the democratic national convention last night. >> i did. >> george: flew straight here. didn't get much sleep. how was it? >> it was electric. it was so special to be part of that historic moment and to be able to be of service in that way and community in that way. it was really exciting. >> george: did you feel it was a history making moment? >> i did. i really did. i thought her speech was extraordinary. i feel like she really laid out

her values and her priorities and her strengths, for people who are undecided. i thought she did a beautiful job conveying what her values and priorities are. >> sam: your scandal family was all over the place at the dnc. it was super star cool to see everybody there. right? i guess, tony was there a minute before you? >> tony hosted the first night, monday. i hosted the final night. we were kind of book ends. i knew he was still in town. couple hours before the show started i was hanging out with my friends backstage. >> sam: it wasn't planned? >> no. i called tony and he was at dinner. i said, would you come on stage tonight? i said we have this idea we want to create a moment for social media, where people can be in community online and feel like they are at the event even though they are not here. i said, will you come bring me my phone? he was like, anything you want. he was amazing. such a sport. >> rebecca: you play these iconic characters like olivia pope. now page alexander.

you are playing comedy. >> i am. i am. i love unprisoned. it is such a special show. it is like a father/daughter comedy. about dad who's been in prison for most of my character's life. he comes out and comes to live with me and my son. he is one of my acting heroes. we're having a blast. people who watch the show devour it. they can't stop. you binge through it so quickly. what i love about it, it's about really important issues. stuff that matters. about criminal justice, family, love, acceptance. but it's funny. we are telling this story with a lot of levity and joy. >> gio: and they binge it in no small part because of you. let's look at a clip. >> can you maybe warn me so i don't come down in my private clothes. >> you wore those pants to target last week, girl. >> he raised you better than that. >> can we unpack how you raised me? also these are ivy park. >> birkenstocks.

>> i'm going to fold laundry. there's something about being around you that makes me want to put some sharp creases in my jeans. [ laughter ] >> gio: your character reaching new horizons. there's a wrestling match? >> there is. there is. last season we had a dance battle on the show that was such a hit. we knew we had to go outside the box this season. we have a great, hilarious wrestling scene. very hard core. my character also goes to a pole dancing class. >> gio: that must have been so funny. another one of your co-stars, just recently here, john stamos. >> yes. >> sam: so we asked him at the time when he was here, if he wasn't acting what would he be? he said a therapist. >> i love that. he's like the therapist on the show. our family therapist. >> sam: i feel like he's been everywhere, done everything, knows everything. is he the kind of guy you would turn to for information? >> you know, i would. before he came to work on "unprisoned" we read each other's memoirs. we both had memoirs out last year. i was blown away by his journey. i think i'd go to him for advice

on disney. he's a disney family. he takes his kids everywhere. he knows all the secrets, all the hookups. he's my go to guy. i'm going to paris disney. who do i talk to? what do i do? i think rise of the resistance was my favorite. >> rebecca: ah, yeah. >> george: let's talk about your documentary "daughters." 100 rating on rotten tomatoes. >> 100% on rotten tomatoes. it's such a special documentary. "daughters" is about this wonderful program for dads who are incarcerated, where they go through a parenting work shop. at the end there's a father/daughter dance, where they get to take off their jump suits and spend time with their daughters. it changes their lives. i got interested in the documentary because of "unprisoned." "unprisoned" taught me a lot about how the criminal justice system impacts families. the ripple effect of these systems. "daughters" is a deep dive into that idea.

>> george: i have not seen it but ali saw it. they were sobbing as they were watching. >> i know. i know. my husband was like, what am i watching? [ laughter ] it makes you laugh. it makes you cry. it's really special. >> george: thank you for coming in. thank you for having a very short night on good morning america. >> thank you for having our star on the show. >> george: she was great. >> gio: oh my gosh. >> we are super excited about that. >> george: coming up next, sofi tukker gives us a performance in times square. comin ♪ you gotta believe me when i tell ya ♪ ♪ i like it like that ♪

[ laughter ] >> rebecca: latest viral food trend taking the nation by storm. we enlisted lori b and some special guests to give it a try. good morning, lori. of course, gio is already giving it a big try. >> that's great, rebecca. nobody was more excited about this assignment than my three kids. it's ice cream in pancakes. it's a lot easier than you think. take a look.

ice cream. a summer staple in a cone, in a shake, but for breakfast? ice cream pan cakes going viral online garnering millions of views. and scooping up fans in kitchens across the country. >> you would never know these are ice cream pan cakes. >> this is insane. you can take ice cream and make pan cakes out of it? somebody sent me the recipe. i immediately got up. i said ain't no way that i can make a pan cake out of ice cream. looked for the ingredients. once i got it mixed up and made it, it was amazing. i'd give it a 10. i don't think i'll make pan cakes another way. >> it's as simple as combining self-rising flour and ice cream. you customize the flavor. >> southern banana pudding ice cream. >> so time to start scooping. i melted it a little bit. going to do a half cup self-rising flour. pop them in.

i have a hot buttered pan. ready to go. there we go. ready to flip. but what did my taste testers think of the mashup? cheers. >> those are really good, mom. >> mm-hmm. >> gio: isn't it good? >> rebecca: so precious. >> thank you. they loved it. there's a lot of confusion online about the food science of this all. people are like, i don't understand how the ice cream stays in there, doesn't melt and get liquidy. but when you think about it, what is ice cream? milk and sugar. it really does make sure why these work. for me, i think it's really easy, two ingredients. >> rebecca: i'm surprised by how good they are. would you do it again? >> i would. i don't know that i would do it for breakfast. little decadent. gio definitely would. but as a once in awhile treat, i think it is delicious.

it's customizable. one wanted vanilla. one wanted strawberry. one wanted peanut butter. because they are so easy to make, you can do that. i'll tell you. i make a lot of pan cakes from scratch at home. getting them nice and fluffy are difficult. these are so fluffy. and it was just -- i did nothing. just ice cream and self-rising flour and it was perfection, as gio will tell you. >> gio: absolutely. >> and rebecca. thank you. thanks, guys. >> rebecca: we'll bring some over. >> ginger: glowing reviews. i can't wait to try. my kids will want this stat. [ laughter ] i look for the line cook down the line, who wants what. all right. let's talk about where they'll need the chill of the ice cream. that would be dallas. back in the excessive heat warning. going to feel as hot as 112 today. they are behind that front that's lifted through. look at wichita falls will feel up to 114. southern oklahoma we have alerts back to the mexican border. that record heat has been around for days in texas. some of them all-time records. now it's sliding east so a place like memphis is warming up. atlanta could see records by wednesday, thursday.

"bread" is something that people to gather together around. >> you guys are just getting huge. we heard you perform sofi. all of the songs on the album, you said that you worked the hardest on "woof."

why was it so hard? >> we've been working on it for like four years. it took like many different versions of the song appeared before the pandemic there was a version of that song. then we changed it. we never felt like it was perfect, so we left it off of our last album. then we finally felt like we nailed it on this one. >> when i first heard you, i thought oh, you're portuguese because you add some portuguese into the music. then i found out that you guys were between florida, new york, and vegas. how did you take your sound on the look? >> i have a brazilian soul. i used to live in brazil. i speak portuguese. and we collaborate with this amazing brazilian poet. i was born in germany. i went to international school. i don't even know where i'm from. >> that's why it feels so like everywhere. even the fashion and the videos are fantastic.
