great to have you with us on this thursday morning. happy to have tom with us at the desk. busy morning. >> a lot of headlines. >> we do. we're going to start now with the cdc now confirming a person in california may be the first in the country to get infected through so-called community spread meaning the source of the infection is unknown. >> worldwide there are now cases in 49 countries and more than 82,000 cases confirmed around the globe, 60 of them here in america. >> and u.s. airlines are now suspending some flights and offering travel waivers from italy to south korea, and jap japan's prime minister is now closing schools across the entire country for weeks wit. >> every school there closed. steve osunsami is going to start us off. he's at the cdc headquarters tracking all the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, robin. health officials at the cdc have been greatly worried about the outbreaks that have been happening across the world, worried that something similar could happen here and because of

that, they are closely watching this case in california. there is now an american case of the coronavirus that has u.s. health authorities on high alert this morning. the cdc has confirmed that a person in northern california has come down with the virus, and for the for time in this country, the virus appears to have spread to this person without them having recently returned from a foreign country or without a close contact to someone who was already known to be infected. investigators are now tracing this patient's recent movements and contacts to see who else may have been exposed. this is happening as california officials are working to track down the places and people who were visited by a korean airlines flight attendant, who has now tested positive for the coronavirus. authorities say she worked international flights that came in and out of l.a.x. >> we're disinfecting l.a.x. every hour. we're making sure those points of entry and the places where we could see somebody come in and

create a vector are as secure as we can possibly make them. >> reporter: the same flight attendant was working a flight from israel on february 15th, where 30 people were later diagnosed with the disease. on the east coast, health officials on long island are watching 83 people who may have been exposed to the virus. they were asked to voluntarily isolate themselves for 14 days. the panic has spread across the globe. an american soldier in south korea has tested positive and the u.s. military is now ordering extra screenings of all service members. the military is now restricting all nonessential department of defense travel to the republic of korea. health officials are screening all passengers who have traveled to mainland china and are arriving in the u.s. but so far despite the hundreds of people sick in italy, no screening of passengers from that country. robin? >> all right, thank you so much. tom? president trump addressed the nation trying to calm fears,

naming vice president pence as the point person for the battle to contain the virus, but shortly after we got that update that the first case of unknown origin was confirmed in the u.s. terry moran is live at the white house this morning. terry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tom. at this time with the u.s. facing a looming threat from this novel coronavirus, public health experts are saying that mixed messages and misinformation can be just as dangerous as the virus itself. as president trump took center stage in the defense of the country against it, it seems that he was not on the same page as some of his own experts. overnight, president trump, alongside his top health advisers, sought to calm a nervous nation, downplaying the danger of the new coronavirus. >> we're very, very ready for this, for anything. >> reporter: and naming a new point person to lead the administration's response. >> i'm going to be putting our vice president mike pence in charge. he's got a certain talent for this. >> reporter: the president's own health officials warn it is just a matter of time before the disease spreads.

>> we do expect more cases. >> reporter: but an optimistic trump seemingly contradicting them. >> i don't think it is inevitable. >> reporter: saying the administration's actions so far include barring non-u.s. citizens from entering the united states from china have helped minimize exposure here in america, but as his news conference was happening, signs the disease could already be spreading within the u.s. the cdc confirming that new infection in california shortly after the president finished his address. >> so far if you look at what we have with the 15 people and they're recovering, one is -- one is pretty sick, but hopefully will recover. but the others are in great shape. >> reporter: the president who often takes personal credit when markets soar is also seeking to reassure americans about a diving dow. >> i really think the stock market, something i know a lot about, but i think the stock

market will recover. the economy is very strong. >> reporter: he attributed some of the losses without offering any evidence to political jitters over democratic candidates. >> i think the financial markets are very upset when they look at the democrat candidates stand on that stage making fools out of themselves. >> reporter: this is going to be a massive effort, funding the response to the novel coronavirus has already turned into another political flashpoint. president trump asked for $2.5 billion for the federal government. the democrats in congress say that's not enough given the scale of the problem. the president says he will spend whatever he gets. michael? >> terry, thank you so much. we'll continue our conversation about the coronavirus. we're bringing in dr. jennifer ashton, and doc, you saw the president's press conference. >> yeah. >> what's your reaction? >> i thinkcoeceeth at we ennd the actions. the actions of this committee, the best doctors in the country standing next to the president

speak, i think, very clearly this is now being taken very seriously, but you have to remember we're two months into this basically. >> we reported earlier, the cdc said we could have the first case of community spread. if that is the case, can you explain what that means? >> we look at primary, secondary, tertiary spread, one of the criteria and, again, just language for the world health organization to designate this as a pandemic, is they need to see not just outbreaks in many different countries, but evidence of sustained spread throughout the community. that's not just one isolated case here and there. when you hear about someone who doesn't have a direct tie to china, though now it is all over the world, that starts to get concerning. >> and we put out our word on social media, wanted to hear some of our viewers' questions. the first viewer question is pretty simply put, what should we do to prepare? >> when the cdc recommended tha in a row, so to speak, i think they should look at this as if you were getting a weather warning, a storm coming, what would you do? you might go to the grocery store, get some supplies, if you

needed to stay home for a while, that would be fine. i think it is important to contact schools, ask what their plan is, contact your workplace, ask if it is possible to work from home or what their provisions are, if you have medications that you need to take, make sure you're not going to be running out in the next couple of days in case social distancing measures are put into place. and we don't know, that's a possible, you know question mark in the future. if you're pregnant, you want to obviously be in touch your doctor, midwife, medical provider so you know you know. >> and we have one more question for you from another viewer. my husband and daughter are going to germany in a few weeks. should he be concerned and stay home? he's having nightmares. everyone is concerned about getting on a plane. what do you suggest? >> no one has a crystal ball here. it is risk benefit. i would say you need to know where you're going, when you're going, we don't know what this is going to look like in two weeks or two months. if someone is having nightmare about a trip, i think it is a good idea, but we do expect to see some kind of travel screening at least from people coming from places where coronavirus is really exploding.

>> we can only hope it looks better than it looks now in a few weeks. >> i hope so. >> thank you. >> you bet. >> tom? michael, we turn to another big story that is shooting at a molson coors brewing facility in wisconsin. one of the worst mass shootings in the state's history. police say an employee went on a rampage, killing at least five co-workers before taking his own life. alex perez is in milwaukee this morning. alex, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, tom. for the more than a thousand people who work here yesterday started off pretty normally until about 2:00 in the afternoon when suddenly everyone's worst nightmare became a reality. this morning, tragedy at a milwaukee landmark. >> never seen anything like this. >> reporter: police say an employee opened fire at the old miller brewing headquarters, now the molson coors company, killing five co-workers, before turning the gun on himself. >> we got one man down. >> reporter: investigators say the former employee returned to the office armed, opening fire on staff members.

employees were evacuated along with neighboring schools as police searched more than 20 buildings on the company's campus. >> i'm just glad i was able to get here in time, get them out of here and get them home. >> all of us were in shock. we didn't know what was going on. >> reporter: this worker says he walked away from the gunman to talk to someone else just seconds before the shooter pulled out the gun. >> if i wouldn't have gone to talk to this guy to relieve me, i would have been one of those guys and i know that for a fact because i would have walked right into what was going on. >> reporter: more than a thousand people were working at the sprawling beer plant wednesday afternoon when the shooting occurred. >> this miller brewing site has been part of the miller family and part of the city of milwaukee for 165 years. and this is the saddest day that we have had. >> reporter: and authorities at this point have not released any other details on the 51-year-old gunman or his employment history. this community now coming

together to mourn those that were killed. robin? >> certainly thinking of everyone there. alex, thank you. now to that winter blast. one of the biggest snowstorms of the season making its way across the great lakes. now heading for the northeast, leading to a messy commute for millions. and heavy snow in places like buffalo. stephanie ramos is there for us this morning. good morning. >> reporter: robin, good morning. here in buffalo they're expecting about 8 to 10 inches of snow to fall, much more. this is what people are waking up to this morning. some really heavy snow, lowvibi. it's really whipping around that snow making it difficult for plows to keep these roads clean, but this snow has been falling consistently here since about 11:00 last night, and it is the same storm system wreaking havoc across the state of michigan. take a look. more than two dozen wrecks and spinouts across michigan. at least 600 schools have been closed in detroit.

the city there really trying to keep people home, and here in buffalo and across this area, there are some major travel concerns. blizzard warnings are in effect in areas south of here, up through watertown, new york, up in that lasted until friday. this snow really expected to create some very messy whiteout conditions, michael. >> thank you, stephanie. i would be careful on those roads. now to ginger for the latest track and timing of this nasty winter storm. good morning to you, ginger. >> i know everybody's headline was snow. i want you to focus on wind. from boone, north carolina, to utica, new york, gusts up to 60 miles per hour. that could become dangerous and inhibit your day. not just on the roads either, which, by the way, in parts of western new york, high profile vehicles that are empty have been banned from highways because we could see gusts again. look at 56 for us. this is later this afternoon. even for the airports here around the tristate, i would check before, just to see if there would be any delays. a couple of pockets where we see a foot of snow. all right, ginger.

thank you. we want to turn to politics now. the race for the white house just two days until the next votes. this time, in south carolina. front-runner bernie sanders hoping to keep his momentum, but joe biden looking for his first big win on the heels of nabbing a crucial endorsement from one of state's leading figures, jim clyburn. mary bruce has the latest for us. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, tom. this is a make or break moment for joe biden, but this morning he is confident that he is the one to beat here on saturday. the big question then is will it make a difference, will it be enough to propel him to other big wins, or is it simply too late to derail bernie sanders? this morning in south carolina, with less than 48 hours to go, joe biden is promising a comeback. as he fends off front-runner bernie sanders. >> i promise you this, if you send me out of south carolina, with a victory, there will be no stopping us. >> reporter: biden is counting on support from african-american

voters to deliver his first win. the former vice president getting a boost from south carolina's most powerful democrat, congressman jim clyburn. >> i know joe. we know joe. but most importantly joe knows us. >> reporter: the big question, will it be enough to stall sanders' momentum. he says biden doesn't have what it takes to go the distance. >> joe is a friend of mine and a decent guy, but that is not the voting record or the history that is going to excite people, bring them into the political process, and beat trump. >> reporter: now this morning the candidates are already looking beyond south carolina to those delegate rich states that are up for grabs on super tuesday. many of them launching new multidollar national ad buys and moving on to campaign more aggressively in those states. tom? >> it is crunch time in this race. all right, mary, thank you. as she mentioned, the south carolina primary right after that comes super tuesday.

16 contests, a national primary. george will be anchoring our special coverage with our political team, starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern. robin? all right, tom. now to that new twist in the "varsity blues" scandal. a newly released text message from mastermind rick singer's phone has several accused parents now claiming vindication, including lori loughlin. paula faris has more. >> reporter: this morning, the attorney for lori loughlin and her fashion designer husband says there is new evidence that could clear them in the college admissions scandal. they claim that the evidence consists of notes from rick singer, the alleged mastermind of the scheme, which show that the fbi put pressure on him to lie. >> hi. my name is rick singer, i'm the founder of the key. >> reporter: the defense points to a 2018 message written on singer's iphone saying he had a, quote, loud and abrasive call with agents, adding that they continue to ask me to tell a fib

and not restate what i told my clients as to where their money was going. the motion claims that authorities forced singer to say the parents were paying bribes, rather than legitimate donations. it is a crucial component of their defense. loughlin's lawyer calls the notes not only exculpatory, but exonerating. but overnight, the texts between singer and his attorney were sent he decided to cooperate with the feds. and for the 15 parents that are still holding out and maintaining their innocence, prosecution has thrown extra charges at most of them, but in regards to this text message, the source says it only applies to one defendant, not revealing which defendant that is. so stay tuned. >> we will do. thank you, paula. look at this. this is nascar driver ryan newman getting a standing ovation as he returned to his team shop for first time since

that horrific daytona 500 crash just over a week ago. newman suffered a head injury in the accident, but he said he's planning to take things easy for now. no word on when he'll be back behind the wheel, but we know he'll be back as soon as he can. we're following a lot of other stories this morning. next, why investigators are reportedly searching yellowstone national park as the mother of those missing idaho children head backs to court in hawaii. and as coronavirus fears spread, so many people are asking about those masks. what you need to know about the masks you're seeing everybody wearing including some celebrities, but first, let's go back to ginger. we already hit our high temperature today, temperatures tumbling with all that wind, will feel like 11 by tomorrow. happy friday eve. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, the spring-like cities sponsored by verizon.

lori vallow appearing in a hawaii courtroom, a judge denying a motion to reduce her $5 million bail. >> so bail is confirmed at $5 million. >> reporter: dressed in an orange jumpsuit and sandals vallow spoke softly as she answered the judges. she also gave up her fight on extradition back to idaho. that could now happen in just days. >> you understand that you and your attorney have the right to test the legality of the arrest. >> yes. >> reporter: after the hearing lori's husband chad daybell was spotted with a moving van outside of the condo he and vallow have been renting. lori has been behind bars for a week now facing criminal charges related to the disappearance of her two children in idaho, 17-year-old tylee ryan and 7-year-old j.j. vallow who have not been seen now or heard from since september. meanwhile, authorities in idaho are building their case against vallow. court records show subpoenas were issued to the owner of the hawaiian condo they're staying in.

authorities also seeking records from both a resort in kauai and the elementary school j.j. attended for just a few weeks last fall. investigators are also reportedly planning to search yellowstone national park for any sign of tylee. according to an affidavit, phone and photo records show vallow visited the park on september 8th with her two children and her brother, alex. police say this is the last time they can find any record of tylee being with lori vallow. this doorbell camera image obtained by "east idaho news" shows j.j. playing a week later outside the home and believed to be the last known image of j.j. agents from idaho will now begin the work to bring vallow back to rexburg. the prosecutor here in hawaii told me he expected that to happen within the next week or two. guys. >> i tell you, all right, thank you so much, marcus. more now on the coronavirus emergency, and a reality check on how concerned you should be,

and what you should really do to protect yourself and your family. we're see a rush to buy those face masks, and t.j. holmes is here with more on that. good morning, t.j. >> all right. let me try to make it plain here, i have one surgical face mask here between the two of us, between me and tom. he's sick, i'm not. who should get your mask? your natural instinct, give me that mask but i should be begging him to wear it. the sick person better protects me as if i were wearing it myself. all these masks are floating out there. which ones do health officials say you should use? none of them. >> reporter: as coronavirus fears sweep the country, many are turning to protective face masks hoping to keep the germs away. gwyneth paltrow, selena gomez and kate hudson posting pictures of theirs while traveling. but not all masks are equal. the surgical face mask that many are turning to for protection from coronavirus likely won't protect you according to health officials. these types of masks instead are recommended for people who are

already sick because they're designed to prevent a person from spreading germs. but there's another type of mask called an n95 or res which the fda says has a very efficient filtration keeping out 95% of airborne particles but health officials only recommend these for health care professionals in constant contact with sick patients. >> i think people see a mask and they see an illusion of protection that if they put the mask on, it'll somehow block viruses from getting into their mouth or nose when they breathe. that's just not the case. anyone who does not have a respiratory illness meaning a cough or sneezing should not be wearing any type of mask whether it's a surgical mask or a respirator. >> reporter: but that hasn't stopped the public from buying up masks. stores and websites sold out. abc news gaining exclusive access inside this 3m factory in south dakota where they're working around the clock to meet demand.

amazon even reportedly warning third party retailers that are taking advantage of this mask hysteria raising prices by more than 400%. health officials are preparing for a potential shortage. >> the masks should be for the health care workers. the public should not be buying masks. >> reporter: and believe it or by not, by wearing a mask you could be putting yourself at even more risk. >> people do not use their masks correctly. they play with it. they wear it too long. they rub their nose underneath it. >> you hear that, folks, you could make it worse? what do you do all day, you do exactly what they tell you, touch your face all day and getting sick. let's put this graphic up that got a lot of attention. people had fun with it, but it's from the cdc. it's an official graphic from the cdc that shows all these different facial hairstyles and telling men how this could actually deep you from wearing your respirator correctly. there is a side whisker, mutton chop, zorro style, but this was put out years ago.

this was not for coronavirus. it is for people who actually do work in industries where they need to wear respirators so a serious graphic that made the rounds and kind of confused people. they were, like, so we need to pay attention to this? but dr. jen will speak to it. it does show the seriousness of this matter of wearing these masks the right way. >> 100%. >> dr. jen, welcome back. >> thanks. >> we talked about how sick people should wear the masks. outside of sick people, there are others who should be wearing the masks. who are they? >> i mean like robin when you had your stem cell transplant, you know, if someone has -- is a transplant patient, they have a weakened immune system, of course, that's going to be individual case by case basis, you know, to wear a mask. that is a very small percentage of people. okay, as t.j. said we use surgical masks in hospital settings or even, you know, out in the public on sick people, okay. viral particles, coronavirus and influenza to name two go right through that mask, okay, so if you say, well then why is it

hereventin this way? becoughing, sneezing, spewing large particles out into the room, of course, that's a barrier, but they can go right in. that's why they're not helpful. what i want to show you guys are these n95 respirators. there are a bunch of different styles. these are what we use in hospital settings for health care providers. they have to be measured for your face. i went through this process. it took several attempts, different sizes, different models to actually find the one that works for me. they have to be put on properly. you see the two elastic band, one has to be high on the head one around the neck. we're seeing people wear them incorrectly. these are not for lay public use. >> i know. it drives you crazy when you see the video and people are wearing them incorrectly. >> to be clear, robin, if people really get sick with anything, not just coronavirus and they can't go to a hospital and have healthy health care workers take care of them, we're in a much bigger situation. >> something to keep in mind. >> yep. >>enings th >> thanks, jen. >> you bet.

king's hawaiian what an irresistibly delicious idea. we choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. president kennedy knew settling for half-measures wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when it's hard. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message. back now with a wild story. one of america's most savvy businesswomen scammed out of nearly $400,000. real estate mogul barbara corcoran's team tricked by a phishing email costing them big. now she's speaking out exclusively on abc about the incident and sharing a warning. rebecca jarvis is here now with more, and rebecca, this is such a crazy story.

>> reporter: it's so wild, tom, and you are going to look at that inbox in a whole new way after you hear this. unfortunately these scams are so common and the fraudsters are getting so good they cost victims $1.7 billion last year and now you can add barbara corcoran's name to that list. she was duped out of nearly $400,000. here's how it all went down. >> i want to say something -- you've got to give up this crying stuff. >> reporter: this morning "shark tank's" barbara corcoran scammed out of nearly $400,000. >> this morning, i wired $388,000 to a false bank account in asia. >> reporter: it all started last week when barbara's bookkeeper, christine, received this email appearing to be a routine message from barbara's assistant emily approving a $388,700.11 to a german company called ffh concept. the only problem barbara's assistant emily never sent that email. it was a con artist on the other end.

christine, the bookkeeper, even replying to ask, what is this? need to know what account to pay out of. >> someone sends you a bill, it's paid and this one instance it was not a good strategy. >> reporter: the crook responding with a detailed explanation, the money nearly $400,000 then transferred. it was only after the fact that barbara's team noticed this, the missing "o" in the from address. >> when she showed me the emails that went back and forth with the false address i realized immediately it's something i would have fallen for if i had seen the emails. >> reporter: as it turns out barbara falling prey to an all too common email scam. something her co-star robert herjavec who made his millions running a tech company knows all too well. >> 85% of all cybercrime across the world comes through email which is what happened to barbara. this is very, very common. it's been happening to

businesses for two, three years now. it's now happening to individuals. >> reporter: so how can you protect yourself? >> always verify that the email is coming from somebody you trust. get that person to call you. number two, check your bank statements every single day because if you catch it within 48 hours, the bank can get it back for you. >> reporter: now barbara says unfortunately the money for her is gone. she doesn't blame her bookkeeper. her team was able to trace those emails back to a chinese ip address and she says she and the team have learned their lesson. slow down, double check everything and always verify, guys. if there's any question, pick up the phone. call that person on the other end, and make sure that email did come from them. >> good advice there. >> you can see how this could happen. >> it's pretty wild, yeah. >> thank you, rebecca. oh, coming up, the "shallow" challenge. i'm up. that's right. it's our "play of the day." it's our "play of the day." ♪ as the day begins

how does it feel to finally own your own professional team? >> you know, it's so exciting. it's been such a long journey, you know, a journey that i actually didn't think was going to take this long, you know, seven years in the making but one that i always knew that was worth the wait. >> any pressure? do you feel the pressure that have. >> i actually don't feel the pressure. i know as owners we couldn't have done anything more than what we've done so i know that we're ready for this weekend. >> it's beckham. >> reporter: david's roots with the american major league soccer go way back. he joined the l.a. galaxy in 2007. >> it meant so much when david joined the league. he basically said to the world, this league is on the rise and america could be a great soccer nation and now to have one of the great players in the world go from the field to the boardroom, imagine how cool board meetings will be. >> reporter: but david beckham the businessman comes second to david beckham the family man. he and his wife, victoria,

married nearly 21 years have four kids. >> our kids are the most important. yes, we have businesses that we are very committed to, but our main priority will always be our kids. >> you have three sons and a daughter. none of your three sons followed in your footsteps. was that disappointing to you at all? >> no, not disappointing at all. their passions have taken them in different directions. the one thing that i'm obviously hugely proud about with my kids is they all have their own passions for the things that they love, and harper -- >> she plays a little soccer. >> so she could be the one that goes into the game, you know. i'm never disappointed in whatever they do. >> reporter: during david's years playing in l.a. he could often be seen courtside cheering on the late kobe bryant and the los angeles lakers. david sharing his feelings on kobe's death. >> the biggest thing i admired about kobe was not just his tenacious way of playing the game, but his love for his family.

his love for his girls and it's all he ever talked about. he talked about vanessa. he talked about, you know, his kids and how passionate they were, and, you know, that's -- that for me, hit me the hardest. >> reporter: and just as younger basketball players looked up to kobe, many on david's team idolized him growing up. when you show up and your team sees you there, i mean how do they react to you? do you think it's intimidating? do you think they're inspired, maybe a little bit of both? >> obviously the one thing i'd like to bring to this club is the experience that i've had from the great clubs that i've played for over the years, so i hope they're inspired. maybe a little bit intimidated as well. that would be nice. >> obviously you're now an owner. what if somehow there's some injury, they need a midfielder, would you be willing to run on the field? >> i don't think -- i don't know if legally that's allowed but -- i'm 44 now. i think i'm a little bit past playing at the highest level but

who knows? you never know. you never know. anything is possible. >> and beckham is hoping in ten years or so the mls will be able to challenge, yes, the european leagues. knowing how determined he was to get this far took him seven years to make this all happen. i wouldn't be surprised if he turns american soccer into what it is overseas. >> congrats to him. >> thanks for doing that. >> you know, someone -- someone had to do it. >> a challenging day. >> it was a tough day for me. >> you're the best. >> good luck to david and the team down in miami. awesome. now to a "gma" exclusive with the undercover mom who goes online to expose possible child predators. we spoke with her earlier this month, and now she's coming forward revealing her true identity in an important new documentary for parents. she sat down with t.j. t.j., how are you, man? >> reporter: hello, once again. we introduced you to her a few weeks ago. we told you her name was sloan, it's not and didn't show you her face. she's coming forward now to reveal who she is in the

interest of furthering their message and the truth about her really is that she is the mother of young children and she has worked for years for an organization committed to protecting children online. this suburban mom transforms herself into an underage girl online all to document the world of online predators. at the time she hid her face everywhere and on "gma" to protect her identity and safety. >> lots of parents might say, well, my kid would never post anything remotely salacious. what we've been able to demonstrate with these is that they're still susceptible to being targeted. >> reporter: sloane, her pseudonym is the head of a special projects team at bark, an online monitoring service that works with parents and schools to track kids' social media use. the team created personas for her as a tween and teen to educate parents and now because her work has become highlighted online and things have come to closure on the legal end, she can share her identity.

>> i am able to show an un-pixelated version of my face. we would create a fictitious 15-year-old girl. >> reporter: releasing a new short film showing the dangers kids could face online. >> i'm 37 but our graphic designers assured me they could make me look over two decades younger. >> what has happened since that story aired? >> there have been so many emails from survivors who have said i feel validated. they certainly are behind the motivation to keep working on this. >> reporter: the film shows how her team transformed her choosing age appropriate clothing and using makeup and software to go from this to this. after she posts the responses she gets, shocking. part of the film also shows her meeting a man who she says contacted her online. >> what is the takeaway for a parent to see you put in that position? >> all of us who want to protect

the most vulnerable can move the needle in the right direction when it comes to child sex abuse. >> all right, tom, the secret is out. her identity out. will she have to stop? no. the undercover work will continue. she says she has some personas out there that she hasn't made public, and the work will continue. >> and shows she can completely transform. all right, thanks. let's head over to ginger. a "gma" moment from indiana. this one really -- i like it a lot. i can't even do this. 2-year-old locklan has discovered her eyebrows. >> what are you doing? >> she can even do that one eyebrow thing. i tried for ten minutes this morning. i still can't do it. thank you for sharing that with us. go to my facebook page or my instagram and share your videos

that i want to have those experiences. >> reporter: with discipline and determination, he thrived on campus. >> many people of african-american descent didn't have the opportunity to go to school. it's important for the current students to be attached to their history. >> this is a sample of the greatest black minds in america in this room. >> reporter: his professor robert brown, an alumnus of morehouse witnessing dacavien's hard work, wisdom and wit firsthand. >> my mom worked until 1:00 a.m. i would take care of my brothers and sisters then we would go to the shelter. >> you see the product of someone who worked exceptionally hard and to see him achieve through heights having gone through those struggles it's an honor to be in front of a person like that. >> i'm so happy for you. >> reporter: in keeping with the rich legacy of a morehouse man dacavien is paying it forward. leadership and service. >> no matter what he's going through, he's able to just put that face on so that he can be there for you.

[ applause ] >> and in the piece i can't get over you talk about you wanted to dress the way they were dressing. i feel underdressed. you're killing the game right now. >> you learn it at morehouse. >> tasha, you have to be so proud.

>> i am. >> of your son. did you ever imagine that he would be where he is right now? >> i had no idea. i mean, he was a child that pushed hard even as a little boy. he stood out in front of the class from kindergarten all the way through high school to 12th grade but just didn't know he would exceed to this level, not to this degree. >> i know. to this degree. he's going to get his degree. he's going to get his degree, his college degree in may. so what is your major? >> business administration. >> all right. so you're excited about the commencement in may. >> absolutely. may 17th can't come fast enough. >> you're going to be there too as well. >> yes. >> the family is going to be there. so i think we have a little something to help you all out. >> wanted to make sure you're taken care of while in atlanta for that. our friends at hilton, they wanted to help out so they're going to provide you guys suites for two nights or three nights, two days, three nights at the embassy suites by hilton atlanta at centennial olympic park which

[ applause ] coming up, nik wallenda joins us live as he gets ready for his most daring challenge yet so come on back.

we are back now with nik wallenda. he's at it again. this time getting ready to walk the high-wire above the active masaya volcano in nicaragua. >> ooh. nik will walk on a wire just under two inches thick above molten lava that is, oh, 2,000 degrees, and this isn't the first time nik has pushed the envelope.

take a look. nik wallenda known for his death-defying stunts. >> history awaits. >> reporter: at niagara falls. >> it's an unbelievable view. >> reporter: the grand canyon. >> winds are way worse than i expected. >> reporter: and just this summer in times square. >> i'm going to do this. what do you think, new york city? >> reporter: and now his greatest attempt yet for the highest and longest high-wire walk he's ever done, nik will attempt to walk over the active masaya volcano in nicaragua. to prepare nik has been replicating the potential obstacles at his home in sarasota, florida. >> there is heavy gases that can be so thick that you can't see so i'll have to wear this gas mask. >> reporter: those sulfuric gases emanating from the volcano could cause serious side effects. >> teary eyes, sore throat, coughing, nasal congestion, tightening in the chest. difficulty breathing. >> starts out lower back. >> reporter: his preparation going way beyond the wire. >> breathe in as you go down. >> reporter: this is by far the biggest challenge of my career. >> nik wallenda is joining us

now from land but not for much longer. nik, thank you for being mere. it's just amazing what you do. >> thank you. >> it really is. you say this is the biggest challenge you have faced so far, but how does wearing an oxygen mask and oxygen tank or gas mask add to it? >> that's one of the reasons why it's one of the biggest challenges. it's not just walking a wire over times square. of course there were distractions there but the distraction here are a 2,000 plus degree magma flow below me. the sounds are intense. but it comes with winds of the grand canyon and a heavy gas that is actually deadly. so i will have to wear a gas mask. there's very little oxygen in the air so i've been training with an oxygen tank as well as a wire that we're not sure how it will work. >> it is really heavy. this is the actual type of wire that you'll walk on. it's a little bit thicker than what you usually do but that's not necessarily a good thing.

>> no, it's not, my entire life i've walked on either 5/8 of an inch or 3/4 and this is an inch and a quarter. we don't know how -- we've done studies but don't know how it will react. we did a piece of test with a half inch rope and after three months it crumbled in my hands. >> so masaya is 1800 feet tall which is taller than the freedom tower and 1800 feet long. it's six football fields and, again, it's an active volcano. so what is going through your mind when you're walking this? >> you know, i'm not focusing on any of the stuff you just mentioned. that's for sure. [ laughter ] >> thanks, tom. >> just a reminder. >> i'm focusing on what i'm doing, my skill, my training, everything i've done in my backyard. in fact, i'm putting myself back in my backyard ten feet off the ground rather than being 1800 feet above that volcano. so it's very much a mental game. in fact, i'm writing a book on overcoming fear and it's about categorizing thoughts in your mind and about categorizing and putting in my mind again in a spot that is safe. >> a book i would read.

i mean if anybody knows it, it's you. i want to say my producer said your team in nicaragua right now called you with an issue. >> yeah. >> really scary issue. >> i lost some sleep for sure over that. my dad called me the other night and he said, we have some concerns. there's almost like a greasy substance that the volcano is emitting, and we can't figure out what it is. and so i didn't sleep that night at all. first thing in the morning -- >> because that greasy substance will be on the wire. >> correct. there could be an issue with my feet slipping so literally went into my cupboard and pulled out a can of oil and greased a section and walked on it fully greased. my wife reminded me then, she said remember you did a walk in baltimore 15 years ago and they sent the wrong cable and it was a fully greased wire and i went, yeah, you're right. i forgot about it. so i've walked on a slippery cable in the past. that helps me mentally prepare for the potential of walking on a slippery cable. >> you say you use visualization to prep. so what do you envision? >> yeah, it's, again, all about putting myself in a safe

condition. a lot of my mental prep as well is in the physical preparation so i walk in heavy wind, wind machines that create winds up to 90 miles per hour so that i know that, hey, the winds shouldn't exceed 40 miles per hour. i'm going to be fine at 90 miles an hour so it's about countering that negative thought of high winds freak you out with a positive thought of i'll be fine. i trained for this. >> we'll have positive thoughts for you. >> thank you. >> i'm personally wondering what raises his blood pressure because, man, nik, you're amazing. we cannot wait to see you, and it is "volcano live! with nik wallenda," a two-hour event wednesday starting at 8:00 on abc. nik will join us live the morning after his high-wire walk. cannot wait to see you next week. good luck, nik. ginger, what you got? >> i actually have a volcano that's appropriate for the rest of us to all go over.

are you ready to see it? an ice volcano on lake michigan. yeah, like one or two feet and probably wouldn't be safe to walk on because the ice will crack. that's all from the sheets of ice on the edge which you know they're nearly ice-free, the great lakes, but the water and the waves press up and t hey, hanging out with these two. >> hey. >> hey, we have a great show coming up. >> we do. it's our day four of our big fast tv wedding week and any couple getting married knows how expensive weddings can be. >> oh, yeah. >> but today our expert is dishing out tips for a budget-friendly wedding which is

great because we have one in one day. on the show tomorrow so tune in. >> plus we have the star of "better call saul," bob odenkirk. bob odenkirk plays a lawyer on tv so he can look over the marriage license. >> he plays a lawyer on tv. that's not a good deal. >> that's true. >> see you at lunchtime. next on "gma" we'r to give his money to charity, giving pledge when this californian walked away from his billion dollar company for good. he drives a chevy volt, flies commercial, and spends his days building grassroots campaigns for social

and environmental justice. why? tom steyer believes every child deserves the same opportunities as his. a healthy planet. good schools. quality healthcare, living wage jobs, and life without fear of discrimination. tom: i'm tom steyer and i approve this message.

series, it's leap year so we're asking people to take a leap. what they've been leaping into is bold change and we're looking at how to pursue your dream job. on average 20% of new businesses fail in year one so we met up with a woman who is on a mission to succeed taking an incredible leap of faith leaving her job to follow her dream. >> let's work. two, back. >> reporter: this is fitness fueled by passion. >> my name is brianna.

welcome to spiked spin. >> reporter: brianna thompson's idea sparked off the fitness enthusiast recognized a gap in the industry. >> i started to notice, okay, i am one of very few people of color in this room or i am the only black woman in this room. there were so many things that when i think of health and wellness, it just didn't fit for me. >> reporter: so in 2016, she launched spiked spin while balancing her career in digital advertising. >> realistically i'm giving 50% to everything. even though i'm saying i want to give my best, it can't be my best because i'm so divided. >> reporter: to give it 100%, briana took a giant leap of faith leaving her corporate career behind to put it all on the line for her dream. >> it's like taking me so far out of my comfort zone and just praying that the mission is achieved. >> reporter: to guide briana on her next steps -- >> spiked spin. >> reporter: meet "shark tank's" rohan oza. >> what does that mean. >> for me it means do your

thing. >> when i meet smart entrepreneurs and they have an idea, i always want to know why is it differentiated so a fresh approach is the key. >> reporter: rohan helping briana to define her mission and focus on growing her community. >> i want to have multiple locations around the nation. >> before you go global, you better succeed local. >> reporter: and her new teacher putting briana to the test. >> how many bikes do you have? >> 17. >> how many people do you need in the class for you to break even? >> 13. >> how many people would you like to ride a month for you to be happy? >> 15 times 5, a lot. >> a lot.mu suced locali love ta joined by briana and "shark tank's" rohan oza. thank you both. thank you for taking this leap for us. how is it going being a full time entrepreneur? >> it's literally the best experience ever. i'm learning so much. i'm growing so much and i'm really feeling how bold i am. so it's awesome.

>> boldness, i love that. you got to do that. >> she brings great energy. by the way, her energy is -- >> that's key. you did say that there are three keys when you're starting to turn an idea into success. what are these three keys? >> we're assuming she has a great idea. i think she does. i think the first thing is branding. like in this day and age, it's called the social media a.d.d. era. if your package doesn't bounce off shelves, whether it's a beverage, a snack or a spinning studio, i got to feel the vibe. all right, so the branding has to bounce out at me. >> branding. >> second one, community. [ applause ] community. >> what's that about? >> community has always been important but now with the advent of social media and everyone is an influencer, community is where you build it. she said the other day she wants 10,000 riders so she can go out

and hustle and find 10,000, all good or you find 1,000 and one in nine americans -- one in ten americans plus the other nine find those influencers, let them do the work for you. >> okay. now, when are we going to get to the money? when are we going to get to the -- you got to have a little backing. >> why is it all about the money? >> no, no, but the funding is so key. >> very true. very true. >> that's what i meant. >> and people go sideways on funding. the last one is funding and there's two things in funding. briana did it right. the first funding is friends and family because if your mom doesn't believe in you, no one is going to believe in you, right. so get friends and family. but once you've got momentum, then you switch gears and go get real professional money and at that point you need to pick the right amount of money. don't go too cheap and like raise too little but also get the right valuation. it's got to be fair for both parties. go too high you're trying to chase a moving target and if you go too low, you dilute yourself. so pick the right number in between.

>> how have you been able to get past -- many people have it -- that fear? >> i think it's having a plan, understanding my larger mission which is to really infiltrate these communities of color that don't have as much access, that don't have as much education and knowing this is really a need. it just drives me every day to keep going. >> i'm proud of you. i'm proud of you. bottom line, bottom line, if somebody is starting a business like briana, bottom line, what is your encouragement to them? >> i think the big thing is what i don't like is i don't like the butter on toast strategy. don't spread yourself too thin. go win in one market. i don't care what the product is, one of the brands is kombucha. health aid. but they started in new york and l.a. and that's it. they won there. i told her to go win in that one market. i prefer a million dollars in sales in chicago versus a million dollars nationwide and then you go from there. >> that's it. i know. you got that? >> yes. i've been taking notes.

>> by the way, i drink kombucha every morning on the set. that's what is in my glass. >> i'm sending you a pallet, back up your green room. >> thank you. i didn't know you were going to say that. tune in to my facebook live after the show to learn more of these great tips and hear what's next on briana's journey, plus, join the conversation on taking your own leap on all of our social accounts. let's do it. it's leap year. let's all take a leap. we'll be right back. i did not know that. with rising stress in the modern world, a good night's sleep is nearly extinct. however, there's hope on the horizon. every day, ikea is designing sleep sanctuaries to save our sleep. this is a stodream.the american it starts here, in a middle class neighborhood with a middle class kid named mike. when his father died, his mother went to work and became the breadwinner. she instilled in mike a belief in hard work and a drive to build a better life. so he started a company from
