so, blessings to her but we begin with dangerous heat hitting both coasts. we're feeling the scorcher here in the east. and out west, triple-digit temperatures are fueling at least 68 large fires right now and ginger zee, of course, is tracking it all for us. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you, michael. nearly 267,000 acres burning right now and the fourth largest fire in california state history, that's the mendocino fire, is a complex of fires and you can see some of those stunning images from it. they've got now 15,000 homes threatened. you go to the carr fire and this one has been burning, now took another life over the weekend. that makes it seven in that fire alone. it's burned more than 1,000 structures and homes included there. and it's not just california. oregon state, washington state both have fires, 17 actually combined. large uncontained fires and they

have an excessive heat watch including yakima, northern idaho and excessive heat warnings for much of the desert southwest. guys, here, we're not getting a break with this big ridge either. heat advisories from more than 96 to 100-degree heat indices. >> thank you so much, ginger. hopefully there's relief in sight soon. we move to president trump and a dramatic new admission in the russian investigation. reversing course on previous denials, the president now saying that the purpose of his son's trump tower meeting with russians was to get information on hillary clinton. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega is in washington with all the fallout. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. the explanations on this have been shifting since day one and now this admission from the president himself but the real question this morning, what is robert mueller going to do with it? this morning, president trump is bracing for an epic showdown obert elr. his attorney, jay sekulow, says if the special counsel subpoenas the president, they will take the fight all the way to the supreme court. >> if you get a subpoena you

file what's called a motion to quash and we're prepared to handle it in court. >> reporter: it had the president fuming all weekend from a rally in ohio. >> a democrat inspired witch-hunt. >> reporter: to his working vacation at his bedminster golf course where he repeatedly lashd out on twitter. fueling his anger a "washington post" report that says the president is increasingly worried about how the probe could hurt what he calls innocent and decent people, namely, his son don junior for his part in that now infamous trump tower meeting with paul manafort, jared kushner and the russians. the president writing, fake news reporting, a complete fabrication that i am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, donald, had in trump tower. initially, don junior claimed the meeting was about russian adoptions. >> did you tell your father anything about this? >> no. it was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. >> reporter: but now his clearest admission yet on the true purpose to get dirt on hillary clinton. tweeting, this was a meeting to

get information on an opponent. totally legal and done all the time in politics and it went nowhere. i did not know about it. while the president publicly maintains he did not know about the meeting in advance, sources tell abc news his personal lawyer at the time, michael cohen, says the president did know and before it happened. and it has caught the attention of the special counsel who wants to know what really happened behind closed doors. the president's lawyer jay sekulow telling george there was nothing illegal about it. >> how would that be legal? >> the question is how would it be illegal? what law, statute, rule or regulation has been violated? no one has pointed to one. >> reporter: well, mueller's team has pointed to some. among the things they are investigating, conspiracy to defraud and aiding and abetting. it is illegal for campaigns to accept foreign contributions. the question that mueller will no doubt be asking, is that what happened, george, inside that trump tower meeting? >> a lot of facts to run down. cecilia, thankabramsnddan, l's

wi yesterday's tweet.its remar. the president in that tweet is basically admitting that he misled the country before. >> that's right. and ken starr back with the clinton investigation determined that lying to the public could be in and of itself a ground for impeachment. you have first of all the evolving stories. let's be clear, the idea that a lawyer for the president of the united states is coming forward and saying, hey, you know, i had bad information, as if that happens all the time, that a lawyer for the president gets bad information about a critical -- >> from the president. >> this doesn't happen. you have the evolving statements about was the president involved in writing the initial statement for donald junior to what was the purpose of the meeting. then you have the legal questions and as cecilia points out there are a couple of possible laws here. number one of course is the basic campaign finance violations. did he slos olicit something of value. they're going to have to look to

intent, et cetera, and another is a broader statute which robert mueller has been using in connection with a number of the russians that have been indicted and that is broadly a conspiracy to defraud the united states. and that just means in essence a conspiracy to try to help affect the election in a fraudulent way. >> well, one denial the president is sticking to right now is that he didn't know anything about that trump tower meeting. >> he has to stick to that part because if he says he knew about the meeting, that almost certainly means donald junior lied in front of congress and i think that would almost certainly mean that donald junior would get indicted and that's got to be his number one concern. we can talk about all these we can talk about all these questions of campaign finance the united states. the number one concern right now has to be that statement to congress from don junior that donald trump didn't know about the meeting. >> quickly, another reason he can't or won't meet with mueller. >> yeah, the mueller meeting isn't going to happen. we've talked about this many times. i don't think they'll try to

subpoena him. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. amy. tohasuected assassination on venezuelan president nicolas maduro, drones with explosives going off while he gave a speech. venezuelans are saying co-conspirators from the u.s. were involved but white house officials are denying that. our chief national correspondent matt gutman has all the latest on this story. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning. if the suspected coup turns out to be real, it would be the first ever assassination attempt using a drone on a head of state. the venezuelan regime says the alleged attempt was financed by people in miami. the white house is saying, unequivocally, there was no u.s. government involvement at all in whatever happened. this morning, the u.s. is denying it had any role in the apparent assassination attempt on venezuelan president nicolas maduro on saturday. maduro was speaking at a military parade in the capital when suddenly you see his wife flinch, then look up. maduro then looks up. the camera rattles as you hear what appear to be explosions.

within seconds his security team bounces up, shielding him with those bulletproof blankets and hustling him offstage. down below military bands break ranks and scatter. maduro's administration is claiming two drones loaded with two pounds of explosives each were detonated near him. i'm standing alive and victorious ready to continue the battle, he says. the venezuelan government is blaming it on far right factions inside the country which they say collaborated with conspirators in both colombia and the united states. they say the initial investigation shows people living in florida financed the plot but provided no specific evidence. >> i can say unequivocally there is no u.s. government involvement in this at all. >> reporter: the venezuelan government says seven people were injured but no one was killed. there is suspicion it was staged and even the white house suggested it might be a setup

concocted as a pretext to crack down on the socialist regime's opponents. given the stampedes of soldiers we saw, the video of maduro being hustled off stage, it would have to have been an incredibly elaborate hoax. a devastating earthquake in indonesia. the death toll growing. at least 91 killed by the 7.0 quake and still aftershocks and james longman is tracking it. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. this was a massive earthquake hitting the indonesian island of lombok on sunday morning. so far we know 91 people have been killed and hundreds more injured with over 20,000 left homeless. it was a magnitude 7 quake and it was shallow, only about six miles underground which caused a lot of damage to poorly constructed buildings. this is the height of the tourist season. millions visit from around the world each year and take a look at these people scrambling to get off this island which felt the tremors.

you can see here hotel guests on neighboring bali, people screaming and running from their rooms. major blackouts have been reported with some hospitals evacuating patients. doctors attending to them in the streets. >> dozens and dozens of aftershocks continue, as well. >> reporter: that's right. there have been over 130 aftershocks, george. thousands remain in emergency shelters. this latest quake comes just a week after another quake killed 16 people. and indonesia sits on the pacific ring of fire, an area of massive seismic activity and people are on edge. >> we've learned about that before. thanks very much. michael. now to a shocking discovery made by police while they were searching for a missing 3-year-old, officers uncovering a rural compound in new mexico where 11 children were living with no food or little food and no water and erielle reshef is here with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. authorities were searching for that 3-year-old but say what they discovered shocked the conscience of even the most seasoned in law enforcement.

those squallid conditions the e searching for a 3-year-old boy, after new mexico authorities discovered 11 emaciated children. those children ages 1 to 15 living in filth in a tent tucked deep in the desert. >> authorities saying they found no water and kids living in filth deep in the desert. >> these chirldren, they literally looked like starving refugees. >> reporter: the fbi and local agents initially drawn to the makeshift property during their hunt for 39-year-old siraj wahhaj wanted in georgia for abducting his 3-year-old son allegedly. the sheriff sending in tactical teams. the 3-year-old not inside. but his father holed up heavily armed. >> five fully loaded ar magazines, 30 round magazines. he was in possession of an ar assault rifle and four other

handguns. >> reporter: wahhaj eventually surrendering, along with another man identified as lucas morton, arrested for harboring a fugitive. all of the children taken into emergency protective custody. >> our goal is to as quickly as possible get them assessed, cleaned up, fed, everything about it is shocking. >> reporter: wahhaj is being held on a warrant for child abduction. the fbi is leading the search for his 3-year-old son. authorities tell us all of those kids in the compound are related somehow and may have been living there at least two months. just at least two months. they don't know how long. >> horrific. all right, erielle, thank you very much. now to new developments in the desperate search for mollie tibbetts, the 20-year-old iowa college student missing now for more than two weeks. investigators are following hundreds of leads and abc's alex perez has the latest. >> reporter: the search to find mollie tibbetts entering its third week and the reward now

topping $250,000. her parents praying they'll see their daughter again soon. >> you can't give up hope. i mean, i know if it were me that were missing mollie wouldn't give up hope. >> reporter: the 20-year-old missing for 19 days, last spotted running in brooklyn, iowa. her family and friends desperate for answers. >> put yourself in our shoes. you would do anything to get her back and you would just be desperate. >> reporter: on sunday authorities discovering the body of a woman two hours away from where mollie disappeared but while they are investigating the discovery as a suspicious death they have confirmed that the victim is not tibbetts. investigators say they followed up on hundreds of leads and tips from the public and conducted numerous searches on farms in the area. questioning 56-year-old wayne chaney who lives just 500 yards from a pig farm they've searched. he denies knowing mollie. neither he nor anyone else has been named a person of interest. family members believe a tip

from the public will be the key to solving this case. they're hoping that big reward money will motivate someone to come forward. michael. >> all right, thank you so much, alex. appreciate that. now a celebration of one of tv's most famous women, "facts of life" star charlotte rae, also known as mrs. garrett, passing away on sunday and, amy, so many people coming forward paying tribute to her and her character and her as a person. >> it's a part of our evolution growing up, mrs. garrett was a big part of that and the 92-year-old did have such an impact on her co-stars and so many fans like us sharing wisdom about "facts of life" both on and off screen. ♪ you take the good you take the bad ♪ >> reporter: as the loving and wise house mother mrs. garrett she guided the girls of "the facts of life" through their adolescence. >> if you hit me with that i'll lay you out. that's all. >> reporter: actress charlotte rae's beloved character guided so many fans along the way. ♪ facts of life >> reporter: first appearing as

xarelto® works differently. warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of blood clots. while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. before starting, tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures and any kidney or liver problems. learn all you can... to help protect yourself from another dvt or pe. talk to your doctor about xarelto®.

the center of a new firestorm. he calls it a complete fabrication and says, quote, this is a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics and it went nowhere. i did not know about it. now, this from the president is his clearest admission yet on the true purpose of that meeting to get dirt on hillary clinton. even though his son had claimed the meeting was to talk about russian adoptions and sources tell us the president did, in fact, know about the meeting ahead of time despite his claim in that tweet but his lawyer tells george this weekend there was nothing illegal. take a listen. >> well, the question is how would it be illegal? the real question here is would a meeting of that nature constitute a violation? >> reporter: it is illegal for a campaign to accept contributions from a foreign nation and that is probably why this trump tower meeting has caught the attention of robert mueller and that is one of the things he is looking into. >> if there is nothing with the meeting why didn't they tell the truth about it in the first place? cecilia investigate -- vega, thanks very much. amy. great news.

some backlash before a single episode has even aired. "insatiable" is a dark comedy about a formerly overweight teenager seeking revenge on the people who bullied and ignored her but after seeing the trailer, some people think it may be sending the wrong message. we'll speak with the stars in just a moment but first here's a look at "insatiable." >> this is like every great high school movie ever made. >> the new netflix show everyone is talking about. but some viewers demanding it be canceled before it even airs. >> smells like bacon. >> reporter: the trailer sparking outrage for what critics say is fat shaming. a petition to cancel it has over 200,000 supporters. but the show's star alyssa milano tweeting, i won't apologize for this show. celebrities like khloe kardashian and ryan seacrest also showing their support on twitter. former disney star debby ryan plays the main character, patty, who early on is ridiculed and bullied for being overweight.

>> fatty patty is huge. >> reporter: but as the show creator explains that's just in the first episode and that there's much more to the show. >> that's the thing tricky about the show because there are moments of broad comedy and also moments where you cry. real human emotion. >> reporter: despite the hubbub about shaming she says it will dig more than skin deep. alyssa milano plays the wife of a beauty pageant coach who takes debby ryan's character under his wing. >> if he sees something special in you, then he must be right. >> where is patty? >> right here. >> reporter: the beauty of the show is that it's about finding yourself and it's a little tongue in cheek. "insatiable" could be anything and i think in every single episode it looks different and you'll find it in a different place. >> it's great to have alyssa milano and debby ryan who plays patty both here. [ applause ] i'm going to start with some of the intense reaction to the show before it's even aired. some people saw the trailer. there is a petition to cancel the show before it even begins.

what's your reaction to all of that pretty harsh reaction? >> yeah, i think for me i think the most important thing for us to do is to acknowledge it and say that the trailer actually hurt people and we understand that. but to also look at the show as a satirical look at what could happen if you are fat shamed, if you are bullied and i really think that, you know, it's about appearances and what happens within our interactions with the appearances, right? so upon first glance the show is something and i think people reacted to that. but really when you get deeper into it it's about something else, which is what every interaction in our lives is really about. >> debby, i know you put out a statement on instagram and said i hope fans will wait and watch the show before passing judgment. what can they expect to see if they do tune in and watch? >> i think that there is an entire spectrum of what it looks like when people have kind of

made eye contact with their damage and what that looks like and how that looks in different people's lives and where we try to find self-assurance and value and validation and kind of allowing that damage to navigate you into moving different areas, i think. once people watch the show and go on the journey with all the characters i really think there's going to be an entire spectrum of things. >> i think the interesting thing about entertainment, we all bring our own histories, our own hurt, our own heartache to anything that we watch, whether that be, you know, a tv show or a piece of art or a song and really the show, i think, is going to be a conversation instigator. >> it already has been. >> it already has been and hasn't even aired. to me any time these issues we are dealing with are discussed rather than swept under the carpet, i think it's really important because we really want to eradicate that shame. >> let's take a look at a clip from "insatiable." >> i felt like he saw me, not

like the outsides but the person inside of me. that i didn't even know was there. >> yeah. i know what you mean. >> bob saw something special in me. >> alyssa, you said it was incredibly special shooting this and actually that tweet that now very famous tweet that helped spark or at least continued to ignite the me too movement, you put that tweet out while you were shooting. >> yeah, well, you know, the week that the harvey weinstein news broke we were all working and sort of sadly commiserating about our stories within the industry and how we've all been affected by whether it be sexual harassment or abuse and just being around these strong women and hearing their stories and feeling so, you know, empathetic for all women, i decided to tweet the me too tweet and simply just to shine a light on

how prevalent this issue is and continues to be, by the way. it's certainly not over. we still have a lot of work to do. >> debby, did you feel that same sense of female empowerment on the set? >> 100%. i mean coming into the show and being able to play a character who's loosely based and strongly inspired by a woman who i respect a lot and have a lot of kind of generational experience, there's a lot of women on the set in every vocation in every feel and in every department that inspired me and encouraged me and getting to know how gorgeous all these women were that were helping hang our light rigs and roles that weren't traditionally for women, this felt like a place where everyone was equally kind of ing. >> i think a lot of that you could feel in the subject matter when you watched the show, the vulnerability that we were able to enact due to the fact that we all felt so comfortable with

each other and it was a very special experience and i think that that's why the backlash hurt us so much. >> i can see the emotion on your face. i can see it. >> it just -- it killed me because it was such a magical experience and we want that magic to translate to people's living rooms. >> don't judge it based on the trailer. >> the trailer is 1:28 and the show is 12 hours. >> i think the trailer speaks to where the story begins and there's a lot once we get into it. >> debby, ryan, alyssa milano, thanks for being with us and "insatiable" premieres this friday on netflix. ginger. >> amy, thank you. it is time for your "gma" moment and your "gma" moment today is from branford, connecticut. i don't know about you, paige, my dentist says use the electric toothbrush. go for it. that's going to do the best. apparently noah heard the same from his dentist. yeah. noah the cat. it looks like he's holding it.

"gma investigates" takes a closer look at some of the most popular brands on the market. >> i'm going to call it liquid gold. >> reporter: manuka honey, touted on "the doctors." >> in some cases it's even more powerful than traditional antibiotics. >> reporter: and on "dr. oz." >> this is a secret sauce, manuka honey. >> reporter: as recently as last year kourtney kardashian promoted a skin care line made from manuka. >> i've been using manuka honey for years. >> reporter: manuka honey made mostly in new zealand from the tea tree plant is prized for its healing properties. research shows manuka has up to nine times the germ killing power of regular honey and devotees are paying top dollar for it.

$50 for this jar. a similar size jar of u.s. honey, just $4. >> it is a very effective wound dressing. >> reporter: the fda has approved the use of manuka honey as a topical anti-bacterial ointment. >> we'll change your dressing. >> reporter: dr. vita boyer, a neo anyw neo natologist in new york uses medical grade manuka to treat a variety of wounds on premature and newborn babies. >> very nice, very good. >> reporter: baby caleb less than a month old is recovering from surgery. you used it on little caleb. why was it so effective in his case? >> it kept the skin from being infected with bacteria and kept him from having a high risk infection. >> reporter: while an effective remedy for wounds, the fda does not recognize that manuka honey has therapeutic benefits as a food but that hasn't stopped whitney lancaster. >> i love to eat manuka honey. >> reporter: she discovered it

on a 2016 family trip to new zealand. >> it has a little bit stronger taste than american honey, but it was great. >> reporter: she says she's been hooked on the honey ever since and she's not alone. demand for manuka honey exploding. exports to the u.s. nearly tripling last year. raising concerns among new zealand government officials that -- >> the honey being sold was not genuinely authentic new zealand manuka honey. >> reporter: to check to see if it's sold in the u.s. and is authentic, "gma" investigates purchased the same five brands in new york, miami, houston and los angeles. 20 jars in total and sent samples from each jar to labs in new zealand and germany for industry standard authentication tests. james is a chemist and specializes in analyzing honey. >> only two of the five actually have the levels of mgo you would anticipate. >> reporter: mgo is the key ingredient that gives manuka it's germ killing power.

the higher the mgo, the more expensive the honey typically. >> if it doesn't have that value you might as well be buying sweet clover honey for less than a tenth of the price. >> reporter: the two brands that met industry standards, trader joe's and manuka health manuka honey so experts say it's best to research the brand before you buy. of the three remaining brands we tested, two said they do not evaluate their honey based on mgo levels and a third did not get back to us. >> how do you know you're getting the real deal? >> you want to look for that mgo level on the manuka honey and a umf certificate to make sure you're getting the real deal. >> as expensive as it is it is worth checking that out. we'll be right back.

good morning. a driver is dead, passenger hurt after a shooting on the bay bridge. the chp says someone opened fire at an suv on the bridge around 2:30 this morning. the suv crashed into another vehicle that was near treasure island. a third person in the suv was hurt in the crash. investigators are still looking for the shooter. they shut down the bridge for hours this morning. alexa smith was following that all morning long. >> and we've had about 30 minutes now that that has fully been back open, so all lanes now, investigation wrap has wrapped. lower beck, things have improved, but still have residual delays northbound 101. having a hard time bouncing back. and slow westbound 37 due to an earlier crash near 121.

thursday. and another update in about 30 minutes and always on our news app. ♪ welcome back to "gma," everybody. it's time now for our new series called "take-out fakeout." we re-create the most popular to go meals from the top food delivery apps. celebrity chef richard blais is here to show us how to do it. you know what, let's bring out the first delivery. here we go. >> okay. >> wow, look at that. >> here we go. >> yes. >> all right. >> thank you. >> ooh, i'm so hungry. ooh. >> what do we have? >> pad thai chicken. >> pad thai. >> come on over. >> let's do it. >> so, pad thai chicken is one of the most popular dishes.

how do we make it at home where it is as delicious but a little bit healthier? >> well, first of all, michael, this is a dream for me. i get to make pad thai with you. this is a bucket list. >> i dreamed about this myself too. >> pad thai is really, really popular. one of the most popular items. this is a way that you can make it at home. it is super simple to make. there's nothing wrong with take-out. we'll start over here. what you want is a really hot pan, a wok would be fine, a little bit of vegetables. a blazing hot pan. >> blazing hot pan. n at'sreat about this dish it's really, really quick to make. >> garlic. >> a little garlic. >> chilies, jalapeno. right. a little bit of green onions and you can really start smelling that right now. we're going to add bean sprouts to it. right? that will give it a nice texture. one of my favorite healthy tips instead of just table sugar, a little bit of coconut sugar. >> break that up in there. >> a little bit of tamarind.

>> tamarind. >> so tamarind has this sort of sweet/sour thing going on. if you don't have it at home i like to sub out powdered iced tea mix. >> really? >> which is insane but it sort of reminds me of the sour flavor of tamarind. does that smell delicious? >> incredible. >> a little fish sauce. >> a little fish sauce. >> fish sauce. now, fish sauce is like a salt substitute. to be honest with you, bury some beneficial phones for a couple of years and how they make fish sauce. yes. but it gives this nuance of flavor. >> okay. >> a little bit of vinegar and this smells like pad thai and we're going to add some tofu. >> do you like tofu? >> let's just throw it in there. >> the reason i ask that is i'm not a massive tofu fan either but i love it in pad thai and it's a great protein substitute. we'll add a little bit of eggs that were just scrambled. you could have scrambled them in the pan as well.

break them up and, of course, we have to dump in our rice noodles. this was sort of invented when there was sort of a shortage of rice in thailand. they made noodles out of the powder of what rice they had. so mix that together, michael. >> yes, i got it. >> the big toss. >> go for it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> okay, all right. >> we're going to add a little more peanuts and mix that up a little more and sprout, onions and then -- >> why still you laughing at my toss? that wasn't bad. >> are you ready for the plating now? >> we're ready. >> okay. >> go ahead, for the plating? >> we'll get it right on this plate right there. >> bam, look at that. and then, i love adding a little bit of crunch. some of these sort of store bought crispy onions. >> i like that too. >> very personal to me and my favorite, if you like it hot, you like spicy food. >> not particularly. >> i like it. i love spicy food. >> you like it hot.

>> straight white vinegar with jalapenos. you could make a mason jar and put it in the fridge and this becomes an awesome condiment to serve with your pad thai. squeeze some lime. >> i like the lime. >> and you're done. >> how much cheaper is it to make it like this than go to a restaura restaurant? >> you saw. the good thing about it, it's sort of a dump and stir and most of them you can buy prepared. it takes a couple minutes. >> cheaper than ordering it out but next we have orange chicken. >> orange chicken. my favorite. one of my favorites. >> one of mine too. > here what we're doing, michael, you dump this over here and we're going to make our sauce for orange chicken first. really, really easy. a little vinegar and orange juice,ll right. a little bit of soy. >> soy. >> sesame and then everything that's in that container which is orange rind because it's orange chicken. a little bit of ginger and add a little bit of salt. >> that smells good. >> and here's a fun tip. buy this for take-out it's usually fried but i love this at

home tip to sort of make a nonfried baked chicken so take our chicken. we sort of roll it around in some mayonnaise which is something i like to do myself every once in a while. >> if you want you can get a nice facial from all the steam too. >> yeah. >> my pores are open. >> we rolled the chicken in may naz, coat it in some bread crumbs. so, again, mayonnaise, bread crumbs and have baked -- >> instead of fried, baked. we go right to our sauce. right? then we're going to go right to our sauce. that's going to coat it then we'll add some broccoli. if you're liay yt do ocli. hrhecallio id shp with sesamchi >> chili flakes. you like it hot. >> less than five minutes. two dishes that you take out. >> you're the man, richard.

and now we have an exciting announcement. abc news is launching a new show on facebook watch called "on location." a daily news show that features abc news journalists around the globe and you can see the debut episode this morning on facebook right after "gma." so you'll see new episodes every day posted at 11:00 a.m. and we did one this morning. some of y'all were a part of it. i don't know if you were standing over there. george, it's going to be fun. >> "on location" in times square. ginger, thanks very much. now we meet a couple who wiped out a six-figure debt in just three years. and rebecca jarvis here to show us how they did it. it did take sacrifice and discipline. >> some big sacrifices and discipline, george. can you imagine paying down $120,000 in debt in just a handful of years? this is what happened when one oklahoma couple decided to stop

fighting about finances and started attacking their debts one by one. they have been dubbed the super savers. >> i don't want to owe anyone anything ever again. >> reporter: for chris and morgan their journey to cutting over $120,000 in debt in just three years was more about working together as a team. >> we're either going to pay this off or we're going to pay this forever. >> reporter: shortly after their wedding the newlyweds realized they like many other couples were enveloped in debt. from $88,000 in student loans, $29,000 in car debt, 5200 on credit cars and $1,000 on wedding rings, their money woes causing tension between morgan, the saver, and chris, the spender. >> i compromised a little. he compromised a little. we were really just aligning our priorities. >> reporter: so first off they refused to add more debt. >> we didn't use credit cards at

all. >> maybe t he first step we boy >>ut everything but the essentials. >> we cut cable. >> we lowered our internet speed. we really stopped shopping. >> reporter: though they desperately needed a new car, he continued to drive his 15-year-old honda. next, when it came to loans and credit card debt, they used what experts call the snowball method, putting all your money towards paying off your smallest debt while paying the minimum balances for the others. once the smallest debt is repayed, using that extra money to target the next smallest debt. knocking each bill off one by one. the couple also keeping to a strict $40 a week spending allowance. before they knew it, they were debt-free. >> you just have to do the best you can do every day. wake up and make a decision to give it your all. >> reporter: experts say when it

comes to clearing debt, living below your means is key. >> it's going to be uncomfortable. it's not always fun but it's short-term sacrifice for long-term gain. >> it really taught us how to work together on things. >> yeah, we were a team again. >> reporter: now they are debt-free. they gave up a lot. they rented a small affordable apartment instead of buying a home and morgan even cleaned homes during the holidays for some extra cash. >> they really worked so hard. any splurges? >> this is an important component. they did splurge. they did a crossfit membership which was something which would keep them going and that's something good when you're going down debt paydown to find one thing to keep you going and feeling like you're a part of the whole thing. >> a little stress relief right there. i love that snowball method you talked about. explain why it works. >> it works well because psychologically it feels good to wipe debts away. the other great method is called the avalanche method where you attack individual debts but you attack them highest interest rate first because your highest interest rate debt like a credit card costs you the most the longer you keep it. with the avalanche method you

pay all those minimum balances which is key. you have to pay the minimum balances first. then you use what's left over to attack the highest interest rate debt first. >> and that goes along with one of the things they did at the start. stop digging, no more debt. >> it's so important when you're trying to get out of debt not to take more on and especially on those credit cards. credit cards are going to cost you 20% in many cases. that's the highest interest rate you're going to have and some of the worst debt that you can take on. >> rebecca, thanks very much. coming up, "freaky friday" on a monday. got a live performance from the new movie musical. - (phone ringing) - big button, and volume-enhanced phones. get details on this state program. call or visit

way or as a fun challenge. the only way we could do it but also it's a musical and really the only thing that stays is the nostalgia of the idea of a mother and daughter not getting along and switching bodies and having empathy for each other they never knew they had. that's the same but everything else is really different. >> i'm so excited and, heidi, you had the chance to play the same exact character on stage so how do you make the -- how do you distinguish between the stage and then television? >> it mostly was just an adjustment in my acting style because the souls of the characters were exactly the same. doing something on stage versus doing it in front of the camera takes a little adjustment. i learneda lot from this one. she's been on film since she was a kid. >> you said she was an old soul. >> i'm the ding dong and she's the old soul. >> real-life "freaky friday" behind the scenes. >> she's the mature one going to
