>> a tow truck? >> tow truck in a ditch. >> you listened too carefully. >> correct, yes. but first, that breaking news overnight. robert mueller has now agreed to testify on capitol hill, answer questions for the first time about the russia investigation, obstruction of justice and president trump. mueller was reluctant. he wanted to let the report be his last word but facing a subpoena from house democrats, he will appear before two committees. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas starts us off from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. that's right, mueller had been reluctant to testify but it appears the democrats will get that dramatic moment they've been hoping for, a chance to question mueller about his russia investigation in open session live with the world watching. on july 17th, high drama expected as bob mueller enters those crowded congressional hearings teeming with reporters and cameras and democratic house members eager to grill him. among the critical question, ateaby this st president obstructed justice?

>> if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. >> reporter: democrats likely to press mueller on those ten episodes, 400-page report where the president is pushing back against the investigation. after mueller's press conference, the president accusing mueller of being biased. >> i think mueller is a true never trumper. >> reporter: and he has repeatedly claimed the report clears him. >> no collusion. no obstruction. >> reporter: but critics say mueller's report does not exonerate the president. the hearing expected to be a showdown between some democrats who want to impeach the president and republicans who will defend him. last night anticipating mueller's testimony, the president's attorney on the attack. >> first thing he's going to need to answer is his own conflicts of interest. the whole report is incoherent. >> reporter: mueller has been blunt making clear his investigation into russian

interference in the 2016, was no witch hunt. >> there were multiple systematic efforts to interfere in our election and that allegation deserves the attention of every american. >> reporter: but mueller had hoped his brief press conference after two years of silence would be enough. >> the work speaks for itself and the report is my testimony. >> reporter: mueller did not want to testify because he was concerned democrats and republicans would make it a spectacle. but the democrats clearly believe that mueller being questioned in public will help the nation focus on what the russians did and how the president's campaign responded. they're hoping for high theater and a breakthrough. george? >> some house republicans also say they're eager to hear from mueller. >> reporter: that's right, george. many republicans will want him to expound on his conclusion there was not evidence of a conspiracy between the trump campaign and the russians and likely there will be questions about mueller's team and whether there were democrats biased against trump, george.

>> okay, thanks, let's bring in terry moran for more from the white house. terry, at the white house they thought this bullet had been dodged. >> reporter: they did. but no such luck. although they're seeing it in a way as an opportunity. the president's legal team as we heard in pierre's piece saying that robert mueller has agreed to testify. he said his testimony will be the report and it will be the report but they're also seeing this possibility that they could use mueller's testimony to open up what president trump in a two-word tweet overnight, that very familiar presidential refrain called presidential harassment and used it as a political opportunity to say democrats can't get over the 2016 election and get into some of what they claim are the conflicts of interest in the mueller team and the origins of the investigation itself. so expect a fierce counter attack as usual from this white house. >> yeah, those conflicts were addressed in the report and dismissed by robert mueller in the report and some white house aides, as well. any chance the white house says they might be able to make these points but any chance they could block robert mueller from speaking? >> reporter: well, he was an

employee of the executive branch. so there may be some kind of claim of executive privilege that the president could make. it would be a hard one to win even in court which the courts don't usually like these cases. that said, the white house shows no indication at this point of trying to block this testimony. they want this battle. they think they can win it. >> terry moran, thanks very much. michael? george, the other major story breaking overnight, the house passing a bill to send $4.5 billion in humanitarian aid to the border after reports of children being held in deplorable conditions. this comes as the acting head of customs and border protection abruptly resigned. chief national correspondent matt gutman is in clint, texas with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. just we hind this fence is the border patrol station that's considered the worst of the worst. doctors and lawyers who have had access inside say children as young as 5 months old were left hungry and kids left in their filthy clothes for weeks, and denied soap and toothpaste, and now we're hearing 100

children are being transferred back here. as we're learning about this turmoil rattling customs and border protection getting its third chief in less than three months. as we learn that over 100 children were transferred back to a border patrol station likened by a doctor to a torture chamber, overnight lawmakers in the house managed to pass a $4.5 billion emergency funding bill to provide humanitarian aid. that facility here in clint, texas held hundreds of children as young as 5 months old. many left hungry, denied even showers and soap. now, the president is distancing himself from john sanders, the outgoing cbp chief appointed just two months ago. >> i don't think i've ever spoken to him, no. we have some very good people running it. >> reporter: john sanders saying in may -- >> children should not have to sleep on the ground under mylar blankets. we can and we must do better as a country. >> reporter: sources tell abc news sanders' resignation had nothing to do with allegations about horrific conditions reported at some border patrol stations.

a group recently visited two border patrol facilities in texas saying they were appalled by what they saw. >> they're sleeping on a concrete floor in a cage packed with other children that there's not enough room to lay down. one child was sleeping with her knees wrapped in this aluminum foil to protect her from the stench. >> reporter: the cbp has denied most of the allegations, saying they worked to provide the best care possible for those children in our custody. the agency announcing earlier this week it removed 250 children from that clint facility before bringing 100 back. >> i am shattered by what i see. i despair for the children there. i am profoundly worried about it. >> reporter: there are currently about 13,500 children in u.s. custody. i want to give you a sense of the results of the unsanity conditions in border stations

like this. one of those lawyers we spoke to hope frye who you heard, she visited a single facility once and contracted influenza a, had to be hospitalized for three days. customs and border protection says there might be some good news. the number of children in its facilities has been reduced from about 2,500 to about 1,000 this week. amy? >> matt gutman at the border. and that crisis there at the border is just one of the issues taking center stage tonight when the first round of the democratic presidential debates gets under way. so many candidates, they had to split it up between two nights. our senior congressional correspondent mary bruce is there in miami where they will face off in just a few hours from now. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, amy. well, democrats this morning are getting ready for their first very crowded showdown with 20 candidates sharing the stage here over two nights. this is likely to feel a little more like candidate speed dating. on round one elizabeth warren will be the one to watch. she has been rising in the polls and pressing candidates with her

detailed policy approach. but for others, this is a chance to have a breakout moment. for cory booker, amy klobuchar, beto o'rourke who has really fizzled in the polls recently. for some of the lesser known candidates a chance to introduce themselves on the national stage. the candidates here will likely be grilled on everything from health care to the economy, the environment and, of course, immigration as outrage continues to grow over these conditions along the border. but, amy, for many voters, the big question that they will likely be thinking who on this stage can best beat donald trump? >> all right, mary bruce in miami. thank you. we are also following that breaking news overseas. two u.s. service members killed in afghanistan. the taliban is claiming responsibility. secretary of state mike pompeo was just in afghanistan tuesday and sent his condolences this morning to the service members' families and fellow soldiers saying, quote, this drives home the need for us to be successful with the mission there in afghanistan. george? >> america's longest war. okay, amy, thanks. let's go to gionrgetthe first hehey, aot going on. to talk aut staing with

the pictures of hail and start in kansas. the hail bouncing off the ground, more than 120 severe storm reports. also all the way up to chicago. this is the cubs stadium so hail was falling. people were confused because it's ice from the sky but that is a great sign that it is summer, and we are heating up because you need that heat to make those thunderstorms and updrafts and also need it to do this. 10 to 12 inches of rain in harlingen, texas, causing flash flooding. that heat just coming under that jet stream that will bubble north and make some severe storms back in the northern plains but 90 possible for the first time this season for both new york, chicago and new york city. we haven't seen a stretch this long without a 90 since 2014 in new york city. so it could happen this week, michael. >> wow, summer is here, ginger. thank you for that. now to that first of its kind e-cigarette ban. san francisco is set to become the first city in the nation to ban e-cigarettes to people of all ages. linsey davis has the details. good morning, linsey.

>> reporter: good morning, michael. this is a significant move and a unanimous decision by san francisco's board of supervisors to ban the sale of e-cigarettes across all ages and the mayor has already said she'll sign it. this is the significance. the critics are saying their concern is the popularity among teenagers, thus introducing tobacco products to a new generation, but e-cigarette makers says banning them means adults would no longer have a safer option than regular sill rhett cigarettes. this ban would not just prohibit them in stores, but you ouwould also not be able to purchase them online and have them shipped to san francisco. juul, the industry leader, is based in san francisco and

released a statement saying, in part, they support regulation and enforcement instead of prohibition which they say will drive former adult smokers who successfully switched to vapor products back to deadly cigarettes, michael. >> linsey, we're talking about san francisco, but are there any other states out there working on a similar ban? >> reporter: well, these bans, these cigarettes to minors is already in place in nearly every state, but several states have bills under way that specifically target fruit and candy flavored tobacco which they feel is especially appealing to teens. >> all right. thank you so much, linsey. amy? michael, now to new developments involving that missing college student in utah. police are now releasing the last known images of mackenzie lueck seen in the airport before she vanished. abc's clayton sandell is in salt lake city with the latest on that. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: good morning, amy. police say those images were taken less than an hour before mackenzie lueck got a ride from the airport to this park, meeting someone around 3:00 a.m. before disappearing. the fbi has now joined the search. this morning, the last time mackenzie lueck was seen in public these newly released pictures taken just after she landed at the salt lake city

airport nine days ago, just before she vanished. >> she did not appear to talk to anyone in the airport. >> reporter: police say the 23-year-old university of utah senior then took a rideshare to this north salt lake city park, the ride share driver now cleared as a suspect told police lueck met someone there at 3:00 a.m. >> the description we have is vague. it could have been a male or a female. >> reporter: she hasn't been seen since and investigators say there's no evidence of foul play but with few leads and no contact her friends and family are growing concerned. >> it's just getting more and more real and i feel she is in danger at this point. >> reporter: police say they're getting search warrants looking online for clues. >> does mackenzie have an alternate phone she has used in the past or is using? does she have social media accounts that we don't know about? >> reporter: police say they've gotten more than 125 tips but they're now looking for the one that will help break this case. guys? >> wow. sad case, indeed. hopefully they find her safely.

now we'll go to an epic gps fail. we've all done it. dozens of drivers out there trying to avoid an accident. so you detour where your gps tells you to a dirt road in denver like these people did, where they promptly got stuck in the mud. happened to amy here too. will reeve has more. >> reporter: it has happened to everyone. it happened to me. many almost all of us are trusting our phones to get us where we're going but this weekend in colorado, hundreds of people were quite literally stuck in the mud when their devices led them to the middle of nowhere. welcome to 64th avenue in aurora, colorado. normally nothing to see here except a few birds, but this morning something weird was going on when a detour quickly turned into a disaster after dozens of drivers made this abandoned dirt road look like a busy interstate. >> there was a line of cars in front of me following the same

instructions. and so i thought, well, everybody else seems to be fine, so i followed them on out. >> reporter: the routine trip took an unexpected turn literally. while driving to denver international airport, drivers like connie took to their devices hoping apps like google maps would help shave some time around a nearby exit. >> take exit 286 onto tower road. >> reporter: instead of a quicker route they found a mess. the detour led hordes of cars down the wrong path, an isolated muddy path with no room to turn. thanks to mud and deep ditches, the cars were now stuck. >> it was a mess. >> why did google send us out there to begin with? it just didn't make any sense. >> reporter: connie's related tc pe jayn rifie e nal ll. >> you're driving. google maps isn't driving. google maps isn't perfect. you need to know where you're going. >> this morning google tells us,

quote, while we always work to provide the best directions issues can arise due to unforeseen circumstances such as weather and they added that we encourage all drivers to follow local law, stay attentive and use their best judgment while driving. good advice. >> when you're in a foreign country and don't know where you're going and it takes you down a local road where people say i've never driven on that road, i don't know. >> in other words, you're telling us your own personal story. that's her story. she's sticking to it. >> google maps! >> i think we'll save amy and move on to other stories going on including this heart-pounding rescue. a family heard cries in the woods and found an abandoned baby. see the baby right there. we'll tell you about the moment she was saved. also this morning, an abc news exclusive in that arkansas murder mystery. a former state senator killed. her friend taken into custody, well, now that friend's fiance is speaking out. why he says there is no way she's guilty. but first let's go back to ginger. >> i feel you, amy and storm chasing it happens all the time.

a shocking mystery that turned heads. news of arkansas police investigating a cold-blooded killing of a former state senator linda collins-smith who was found shot to death and wrapped in a blanket outside her home on june 4th. police remained tight-lipped for days but later they say they found the suspect, friend and former colleague becky lynn o'donnell now facing charges of capital murder, abuse of collins-smith's body and tampering with physical evidce >> she is sad that this is hurting her family, but she's angry and she's strong. >> who is she mad at? >> whoever arrested her and why. >> reporter: o'donnell is spending a second week in jail and her fiance tim loggains claims police have made a huge and inexplicable error. she has been arrested now for capital murder and you and becky don't have any idea why? >> none whatsoever. >> reporter: loggains says he was the one to break the news to o'donnell.

>> i just told her they found linda dead and she collapsed. >> reporter: police records were sealed the say after collins-smith body was discovered and authorities haven't said much about the case. but more than a week after the murder o'donnell and loggains were on their way to the memorial service for collins-smith when they noticed flashing lights. >> what did you think was happening when you saw those blue lights? >> i mean, i don't know what's going on but it's obvious they're stopping us with my son in the truck and we stop and they've got ar-15s pointed at us. you could see the look of utter disbelief on her face that that was happening. not knowing what is going on. you can just see it. >> reporter: o'donnell worked on collins-smith's most recent campaign and was the last person known to have seen collins-smith alive. >> i believe it was may 28th. she took linda to lunch is what she told me. >> took her to lunch to her home. >> yes. they were very close. you don't understand.

becky worked for linda, but linda was a family friend. it was like becky's sister. linda was like my sister. >> you would classify them as best friends? >> yes. >> reporter: they were all so close that he says o'donnell was a corroborating witness in collins-smith's divorce and he had power of attorney over collins-smith overseeing some of her financial matters and that has brought him under some public scrutiny. >> i didn't want to do it. but linda needed the help and you help a friend when they need it. i never made a nickel off helping linda do any of that, period. >> you're telling me you never benefited from any of that? >> never. not a nickel. >> are you 100% certain that your fiancee, becky, had nothing to do with the murder of linda collins? >> yes, i am. >> you had nothing to do with the murder of linda collins? >> i did not. >> reporter: after o'donnell's arrest collins-smith's family was stunned releasing a statement saying we are sickened and upset that someone so close to linda would be involved in such a terrible, heartless crime.

but loggains is asking for help to clear his fiancee's name saying he believes the real killer is still out there. has it crossed your mind for a moment just in some late night alone where you questioned, well, maybe becky is capable of this? >> becky is not capable of this. i never questioned that at all. >> never? >> no. i mean either she is a best actress in the world and a sociopath and completely fooled me or there's not a chance she did this. >> well, the next court date is scheduled for next month in july. still, police are saying they had a critical juncture in the investigation. so they sealed the documents and aren't saying much of anything but everyone you talk to there that knew these folks and know them well talk about how tight-knit this group was and you hear him and something just isn't adding up and making sense and there is no one suggested a motive of any

kind for this killing. >> he is adamant. >> absolutely is. >> not guilty. all right, thank you, t.j. we move to the dramatic rescue of an abandoned baby in georgia. a family heard crying in the woods, discovered a newborn just hours old and the rescue was captured on body cams when police were called in. paula faris here with the story. good morning, paula. >> reporter: good morning, george. the baby is actually doing really well this morning, but authorities are searching for her mother and who abandoned her leaving her for dead in a plastic bag in the woods. >> look at you, sweetheart. oh, i'm so sorry. >> reporter: you're watching the shocking moment that a newborn's life is saved. a moment many are calling a miracle. >> oh, look how precious you are. >> reporter: the newborn baby girl perhaps just an hour old, her umbilical cord still attached was found abandoned wrapped in a plastic shopping bag in the woods near a residential georgia neighborhood by neighbors who heard her cries and called 911.

>> we can hear a baby crying in the woods outside of our house. we weren't sure if it was an animal but we think it's a baby. >> reporter: alan ragatz and his daughters followed those cries into the nearby wooded area in the middle of the night. >> it's in a bag. >> what's in a bag? >> the baby is in a bag. >> is she breathing? >> she's crying. >> i kept saying, do you guys hear that cat? >> we hear a lot of noises at nighttime. they said they wanted to go and grab their flashlights and thank goodness they did. >> she was in the plastic bag tied up but her arm had come out of the bag. >> reporter: fire and ems arriving to the scene within minutes. >> how old is the baby? >> newborn. >> reporter: forsythe deputy terry roper getting her warm and transporting her to a nearby hospital unbelievably in good condition. >> i wanted to give her comfort. a little bit later i realized it was the first time she had ever felt love and i felt honored to be able to give her that. >> reporter: the healthy baby girl named india is now in the

custody of protective services. >> god definitely had his hand in this incident. the mother or whoever dropped the baby off would have had to have dropped her off in a perfect place. the family came back from vacation exactly when they did. ems was closer than they usually are. we were all able to take care of that baby. >> and many of the rescue personnel tell us they consider baby india to be part of their family and gave her a name, india, because they said she deserved an identity. so police are searching for baby india's mother. whoever left her could face abandonment charges. >> this is a good opportunity to remind everyone about safe haven laws. >> there are safe haven laws in all 50 states, george. that means you can take your newborn and drop it off at a safe location whether it be a hospital, police department, fire department and you won't face abandonment charges. in georgia you have up to 30 days. >> thank goodness all the stars were aligned. >> everything aligned. >> thanks, paula. coming up next a vacation mystery. the search for two american tourists who disappeared jet skiing in barbados. disappeared jet

and beyond that in 2018 we saw five deaths related to professional grade fireworks. >> and to show just how dangerous these can be, we're going to detonate two of the most common fireworks right here on the national mall. your team is leading this, though. >> yeah. >> you'll see the watermelon behind us. there is an m-1000 firework lodged inside. we'll set that off. guy, blow it up. okay. that is -- that's powerful. >> it is very powerful. what you've seen, this is an illegal -- ill leal firework, and the thing to note is the length of that fuse. it looks long but it burns instantaneously because it's professional illegal firework. >> that is the m-1000. next up is the m-80. we're going to set that one off. that's in the hand of the mannequin behind us. it's going to get ugly. all right, guys. set that one off. yeah, that got ugly.

didn't fare too well, the mannequin so talk to us about the m-80. >> m-80. again, it's an illegal firework and you see how powerful that exploded. they explode quickly and very powerful and that's what can injure the consumer and that's where we see the greatest number of injuries. >> so those are some of the more powerful fireworks but, michael, you've got a cuter one over there, but it still has dangers and risks of its own, right? >> it's cute and dangerous. the sparklers that we all love and use, it seems like. you have a demo about these, as well. >> we do. we do. they can actually get as hot as a blowtorch. that's over to my right side. you can take a look there. it's going to get pretty hot, isn't it? >> what we're going to see and what we think about sparklers safe to give to kids, fun for kids, but what you are going to see is how hot they burn. 2,000 degrees like a blow torch and what happens when they ignite with your clothing, pretty powerful. they can really, really hurt our kids.

>> and for everybody -- >> really dangerous. what are some tips that we need to keep in mind? sorry, michael. >> no. >> so quickly important for consumers, don't -- make sure that the fireworks are legal in your area. don't use professional grade fireworks. if it doesn't light, don't try to reignite it. let it go. make sure you have a bucket of water or a hose nearby and make sure you don't give fireworks to kids. celebrate safely. it's a great time of the year but just celebrate safely. >> definitely some important tips to keep in mind. leave it to the professionals. michael, back over to you. >> great advice. thank you so much, stephanie. coming up, "star wars" star daisy ridley is here live talking about her new movie and more. we'll be right back.

riders will notice a change. two months after the examiner obtained this video of a woman being dragged by a train, the doors are once again safe so use. let's look at the commute. we had a problem. a five car crash on state road 84. we did have a full closure of the roadway. then just the westbound lanes were closed. sounds like all lanes did reopen but about a 20 minute backup. and a quick check outside. here's the bay bridge toll pl a plaza. metering lights on.

good morning. total sunshine, temperatures in the mid 50s to mid 60s in most neighborhoods. on our way to one of our coolest days this week. if you're driving, just a quiet pattern. cool to comfy this afternoon and no small craft advisory on the bay. cooler tomorrow thanks to the slower sunshine and the temperatures warm back to average friday and hang there all weekend. hope you enjoy it. sounds great. another news update in about 30

[ applause ] thanks so much.

>> you are one busy person. but we're glad you took the time to stop off and visit us. >> i'm very glad to be here. >> yes, we're glad to have you. [ applause ] now, "ophelia," your co-star naomi watts praised your performance. this was her quote, hamlet sits sidecar to disney's ophelia. that is a huge compliment. >> i think probably overly kind. naomi is not just saying it because she said it but she is amazing in the film. really amazing and it was great to work with her. >> but was it intimidating for you to take on an iconic shakespeare character, though? >> i didn't think about it so much like that because obviously it's like a different storyish so i wasn't thinking more in the hamlet think but did feel like the first time i was the lead of a film so that felt a bit intimidating, yes.

>> you have knocked it off now. >> you ready to see a little bit of it? [ applause ] >> i know what it is to love. >> you stay away from him and stay out of my sight. >> ooh. [ applause ] >> this was a star-studded cast, clive owen but the star that made you kind of nervous, a little jittery was "harry potter's" tom felton. >> i'm a huge harry potter fan. i'm a big fan so far i've met hermione, harry, i never met ron and i met craig go and he got to

be my brother. it's awesome. >> we saw your character, the costume long wig. what was your thoughts when you first saw that? >> i felt great. the one hilarious thing the wig felt great. we bleached my eyeboros so they would go more with the red hair but without the wig i looked like an egg with no definition but it felt nice and felt really different and it helped get into the vibe of the thing. >> you say it's not exactly shakespeare. a twist but in "hamlet." ophelia has a pretty famous death scene. i hear it's harrowing to film. >> the bit that's in the trailer of me sinking back into the water, i had these like nose plugs but they couldn't obviously be like the hard ones, they were soft and i was strapped onto a gurney and my friend said if i got stuck she would have to rip the wig into me so the shock of the water was

like, and i had to hold my breath and all the water was filling my sinus. >> sounds like waterboarding. >> i know. i have chills just hearing you describe that. we're excited about "ophelia" but can't have you here and not talk about "star wars." yes. [ applause ] >> only 177 days away but who's counting until the world sees "the rise of skywalker." keri russell said the script made her cry. what's your reaction or what was your reaction to the script? >> the thing that was amazing, a lot of the crew did all three films so it was really emotional anyway but there were a few scenes that we did to where everyone was really moved and, you know, a lot of the time the crew are doing their jobs so it's not like such an emotional thing like it's more technical and -- but it was some bits -- a lot of it is really moving. i found it very emotional. yeah, finishing i was -- >> now you got -- i'm like, we have to wait that long to see it? >> i know. >> yeah.

>> john boyega posted a picture of you, him and oscar. what was the like the final days of filming? >> john -- i was like his tierically crying and i did a speech and i cannot remember what i said. i kept going i'm really sorry, i'm really sorry -- the whole crew was there. it was like embarrassing and people recorded it. i still can't tell you what i said. and i -- my -- [ laughter ] >> you have not seen a cut of the film. >> no, j.j. has shown me a couple bits which was really exciting when we went in to see the trailer he showed me a few bits. it feels -- i don't know if it's because i've done pore but this is the most excited i've felt. >> that's so cool. [ applause ] the combination of "star wars" so far but you do think we'll see rey pop up after this latest

edition. >> i mean, who can tell. what i would say is i think it's a brilliant end to the story and like j.j. and chris who wrote as well have done an incredible job of like rapping it up because there are so many references to the nine films. >> right. >> but also exist in its own thing so i think people will feel very satisfied. >> ooh. i love that. >> all right. [ applause ] >> if you want to feel satisfied make sure you go see "ophelia." it's in theaters on friday. go out and check out daisy ridley, everybody. yes. daisy, thank you so much. coming up we have the 7-year-old "avengers" star who is now battling bullying and she and her mom are speaking out.

>> that's crazy. >> reporter: this morning lexi rabe and her mom are speaking out against those who say have been bullying the child actor. >> i'm just 7 years old. please don't bully my family or me. >> reporter: lexi and her mother trying to correct the record after an encounter at a los angeles mall where a fan was upset she didn't get a chance to talk to lexi and then bashed her on social media. >> so somebody recognizes me and i was just playing with my brother and they said, you need to friend -- >> in the caption alongside it lexi's mom writing sometimes we are rushing from place to place like everyone else and we seem a little grumpy adding she is a normal human being and she's a child. >> i don't know why you need to

get mad at us because we're not available. >> reporter: lexi and her mom following up with another post showing a picture of her "avengers" movie father robert downey jr. with a message say no to bullying. >> i'm just trying to have her understand that the power that she has, she has a voice and it can be used for good. people pick on famous people and they don't think they're real people. >> lexry is is currently appearing in "godzilla: king of the monsters". millie bobby brown took down hers last year after being flooded with negative comments. >> you expect me to be a robot because i'm not a robot. i'm not all fancy at all. >> you're just a normal kid. >> i'm just a normal kid. >> that response post from lexi and her mom has nearly 5,000 comments on it right now, george, almost all of them

important for a buyer to feel heard in the process. >> reporter: after a matter of weeks jake helped put them in their dream home. >> we love this living space. >> yeah, it's great. let's go into the kitchen. counter space was really key here. this was definitely -- >> a bonus room. >> a closing room for us. >> reporter: finding a dream home may look easy but there are some simple lessons that everybody can learn from their experience. lesson one, interview multiple real estate agents to find the right one for you. >> not all real estate agents are a great fit for every buyer and we all don't deliver the same experience or level of service or have the same level of knowledge as each other. >> reporter: lesson two, get the loan before the home which can help you understand your financial options. >> you get pre-approved so they understand what can they afford. what does a monthly payment look like. how can they leverage their savin savings towards a down payment. >> reporter: look at your home as a long-term investment. >> consider buying a house for

tomorrow rather than what fits your exact needs today. >> reporter: one thing, they're happy with their decision and looking now to their future. >> it's exciting to know that you own something, to know that every square foot surround you, you own and is yours. when they call buying your first home a milestone, i think it's really an understatement. [ applause ] >> reminds me of my first how. i love that. so glad it worked out for them. now we have to go to a couple of folks i love, michael and keke with what is coming up on "strahan & sara." >> puppies, puppies, puppies. keke is holding one. they're from the best friends animal society. walk that puppy in, as well. the vets from the reality show "the vet life" is here to tell you everything you need to know about rescuing a dog and we have the stars of yesterday" and a

>> announcer: friday, kick off your weekend with pop idol superstar adam lambert. ♪ >> announcer: in a live summer concert from central park. it's adam lambert friday only on -- >> good morning, america. >> announcer: presented by king's hawaiian. ♪ hot stuff baby this evening welcome back, everybody. and summer is finally here and that means it's time to fire up the grill and we each have our go tos when it comes to the backyard barbecue and this morning, bon appetit's resident grill master adam rapoport is here with the new spin to amp up our grill game. >> yes. >> you're going to help us out. we love to eat. we love to grill. summertime is here. we have a charcoal grill.

why this and why do you recommend this to people. >> charcoal is always going to get hotter than gas, okay. like 99% of the time unless you have some super expensive high butane gas grill you get more heat and want that crispy char you'll get that from charcoal, not gas so i love this. at least on the weekend when you have time to grill go with charcoal. >> it's affordable too. >> like 100 bucks for a classic weber. you smell that. you know it's summer. >> i smelled the inside. i'm hungry. the one person, the luckiest is ginger because she is going to help us -- she's our taste tester over here and we'll dig into our recipes here and you're going to revamp some of our favorite recipes and give us a way to pump them up and, amy, you'll go first. what is your go to. >> i mean i love grilled chicken on the grill but i like it a little spicy with a little something extra so what would you suggest i do to amp it up? >> first of all you probably love grilled chicken breast.

we're going grilled chicken thighs, juicier on the grill. we'll hit it up with spicy sort of glaze. >> how spicy is that. >> that's pretty spicy. >> chilies and vinegar and mix it with sriracha so reserve half your marinade to glaze as you're grilling so you marinate it. >> vegetables are separate from the chicken. >> when you grow up back in the day your mom and dad would put the tomatoes and rushmoms in between the meat. the mushrooms would be half cooked. disaster. do the vegetables separately because they all cook at different times, all right? so meat on one skewer. veg on another. >> you can't even wait. you just got to dig in. >> get this girl a napkin. >> oh, my god. that's really good. >> flavorful. >> spicy. >> the way you do it with skewers you get more crispy bits as opposed to one big bit. >> i like that. separate vegetables. chicken. hot enough for you. >> pretty hot. >> you can handle it. >> she can handle it. >> if you're going to use the

wood or bamboo skewers, soak those in water first so they don't burn. otherwise use the flat metal ones that are great and you can reuse them. >> george, it looks like you like steak. >> we did flank steak for our first barbecue but you have a twist. >> you know what, we'll marinate after gritting. >> that's crazy. >> it's insane. season the steak with saul and pepper. grill it till it gets nice and crispy, beautiful medium rare. you always slice flank steak against the grain. you see those little line, that's the grain, slice it this way and we have this beautiful soil ginger marinade. a lot of times you marinade it and it's left in a ziploc bag. here we're going to bathe it in that so when you eat it you get the marinade and the steak together. >> very simple. based on a basic spanish technique. it brings the flavor to the meat instead of leaving it in the kitchen. >> yeah. >> george, you've got to make sure that's right.

>> that looks done. take that one off. i mean, the reason i say that is because our crew is going to eat this when it it's over. >> if anyone likes well done this is your guy right here. >> it won't go to waste. >> you are a pain in the butt. >> why? >> everyone is like, michael wants grilled dessert. he wants chocolate in the dessert. how do you do that? >> you did it. >> you know how i did it, grilled s'more ice cream sandwich. >> okay, let's do it. i love everything you said. >> do we want to get those? no, we don't want the hot ones. so take your nutella. imagine these things are hot. we'll smear the nutella on some hot brioche rolls. that's going to melt, get all melty, hand me one of those. one of those. peel those off, ice cream, well, the ice cream is a little melty. >> we'll still make it work. >> oh, yes, put it in there. do you want another scoop?

come on, michael. i know you'll work out after this. >> there we go. >> good night and good luck. i'm going to let you eat that one. >> well, i'll eat it when we're done. ginger, what do you think? pretty good? >> she can't even talk. >> so good. but george wins. the steak. >> thanks. bon appetit's annual bringing issue is out now. get all these recipes on our website. we'll be right back, everybody. ...6, 7, 8 ♪ ♪ ♪ big dreams start with small steps... ...but dedication can get you there.
