good morning, america. it's great to have you with us on this monday morning. it is great to have george with us back in the studio. welcome back, george. >> it is great to be back. thank you very much. great to see all of you here. it's a little weird not to have my dogs with me broadcasting at my feet, but it is good to be back. hey, robin. >> my dog is still here at my feet, george, but it is great to see you doing as well as you are. welcome back. and take a look at this welcome back for an emergency room doctor who volunteered to come to new york and help out on the front lines. the physician just returned home. elbow. just returned home to california with his colleagues as you see, lined up at mercy san juan medical center in carmichael. great sign to see people, doctors like that being able to go back home, george. >> nice to be back home last night and be part of that 7:00 p.m. tribute to all the health care workers here in new york as well. the total number of cases

here in the united states has passed 1.3 million, the death toll approaching 80,000. at least 45 states have lifted some r 're taking the first steps to re-open, get people back to work, but cases are still on the rise in 15 of those 45 states. we're going to begin this morning with those growing concerns about infections in the white house after at least two people in the west wing tested positive for the virus, including the vice president's press secretary. >> three of the nation's top health officials, including dr. anthony fauci, are now self-quarantining. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has the very latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, michael. good morning to you. as the administration tries to assure americans that it is safe to re-open parts of the country, it is now dealing with its spread, its own spread of the virus right on the white house grounds. and now officials are facing this question, if not even the white house is fully safe, how can americans feel secure about returning to work? after two people in the west wing tested positive this

morning the white house is looking to ramp up social distancing measures including having more aides and secret service agents wear masks and space six feet apart during meetings. among those who tested positive, the vice president's press secretary. his office saying in a statement he will be at the white house today and that he has tested negative every single day. it is the latest sign that not even one of the most secure compounds in the world is safe from the virus' spread. the nation's top coronavirus experts now forced to self-quarantine after coming into contact with an infected white house staffer, including dr. anthony fauci who is in what he calls a modified quarantine, working from home, but still possibly traveling in for meetings. cdc director robert redfield and fda commissioner stephen hahn also in quarantine for 14 days. all three officials expected to testify tomorrow before the senate's health committee. that will now happen over video conference instead. even the committee chairman, tennessee senator lamar alexander announcing overnight

he too is in self-quarantine after a staffer tested positive. he says he will run the hearing remotely. still, some administration officials insist the white house remains safe. >> i can tell you this is probably the safest place that you can come to. >> reporter: but others like the president's senior economic adviser say they are scared. >> it is scary to go to work. it's a small, crowded place. you know, it's a little bit risky, but you have to do it because you have to serve your country. >> reporter: even after his own valet, part of the team who serves his meals, tested positive last week, president trump said he's not worried. >> well, i'm not worried, no. i'm not worried. >> reporter: his focus, on re-opening the country, even as cases continue to climb in some areas. 45 states now rolling back restrictions. the latest, kentucky, where a federal judge cleared the way for sunday church services as long as social distancing rules were followed. in colorad shop defying state orders, and in northern california the

cottonwood rodeo bucking guidelines to throw a mother's day event. given those two positive cases at the white house, there have been questions about whether the president and the vice president should be kept separated in the event that either one contracts the virus. at this point senior administration officials say there are no plans to do that. and president trump has said he didn't think it was necessary since, george, both are repeatedly tested and they have both tested negative. >> every day, okay, cecilia, thanks very much. let's bring in dr. jen ashton, our chief medical correspondent, for more on this. so you have two cases in the white house. tests every single day. should they be worried about a broader outbreak? >> well, george, i think everyone should be concerned. it's normal to have a certain amount of fear and anxiety, concern, apprehension. i mean we're in the middle of a pandemic in unchartered territory. and i think what this shows us is can h to xample that truly no

anyone. >> and that is the thing. the white house presumably the safest place in the country, tests every day, temperature checks for everyone coming into proximity with the president. yet the virus still gets inside those walls. one of the disconcerting things, at least to me over the weekend, was seeing the top health officials all quarantined, but not more white house officials quarantined. so what should people know about what kind of precautions should be taken right now? >> well, i think you have to look at it on a spectrum, george. remember, there's general precautions, recommendations, and guidelines issued by the cdc which is for the general public, the american population, but like any health or medical recommendation, they are really designed also to be individualized. so you have to look at the minimum that can be done and then whether it's appropriate to take extra or maximum steps given the location and personnel

that is trying to be protected here. and so that will represent a whole spectrum. but again, wearing masks to protect others, keeping at least six feet of distance in the workplace which, granted, is not always an easy thing to do, that's at the minimum and then surveillance, extra screening would be on the higher end of the spectrum. >> dr. jen ashton, thanks very much. robin? >> all right, george, thank you. now to that urgent warning about children and covid-19. evidence mounting that the virus is linked to a dangerous condition that has taken the lives of at least three new york children. stephanie ramos has more at lenox hill hospital there in manhattan. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: robin, good morning. doctors say this rare inflammatory syndrome is affecting toddlers to elementary school aged kids weeks after they've been exposed to the coronavirus. with so many more cases, the department of health here in new york is now working with the

cdc to develop a national criteria to better identify this illness. this morning, an urgent warning for parents as cases of a mysterious illness possibly linked to coronavirus affect more children across the u.s. in new york, governor andrew cuomo announcing that the state department of health is now investigating 85 cases of pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome. >> this is every parent's nightmare. >> reporter: the illness, though rare, blamed for the death of at least three children. possible cases now reported in at least ten states and washington d.c. 13-year-old anthony lawson now fighting for his life in washington state after what started as allergy-like symptoms took a dangerous turn. >> he was complaining that he wa zzy. he had a headache. you know, something's just not right. >> reporter: after arriving at the hospital, his condition worsened drastically. theresa lawson telling abc her son tested negative for

coronavirus but positive for covid-19 antibodies. doctors like the university of chicago's melissa tesher say this is part of a growing trend. she's seen it firsthand with three young patients she's treating. >> we seem to be seeing this in the later stages after the children have been exposed to a known infection. >> reporter: now, young survivors are sharing their stories. 14-year-old jack mcmorrow of new york is recovering from the illness. >> i had a swollen lymph node on my right side and i got a headache and it just started going downhill from there. >> reporter: health officials now warning people not to let their guards down, saying at least five covid-19 cases are linked to a pasadena party in april where one attendee kept coughing and didn't wear a mask. here in new york city the mayor says all children with symptoms of the illness will be tested for covid-19 antibodies, and doctors say they want to remind parents to be on the lookout for those symptoms.

that is the best way to detect this early. michael? >> always keep your eyes open. thank you for that, stephanie. turning now to the latest on the pandemic abroad. around the world there are more than 4 million covid-19 cases and now some european nations are trying to get back to normal. in france, people are going back to work and some students are getting ready to go back to school. maggie rulli joins us from paris with more. good morning, maggie. >> reporter: hey, michael. good morning. we were in paris this morning. as the city woke up to their new reality, we saw fresh baguettes going out for delivery extra early as now some people are heading back to work. hair dressers re-opening and they tell us they're booked out for weeks and perhaps the biggest milestone today, people are here able to now leave their homes for the first time in 55 days without a permission slip. but even as paris slowly starts to open back up, we're now seeing new cases pop up in other countries. in brazil, rates of up to more than 10,000 infections are reported leading many to fear that country could become the next global epicenter. and in south korea, a country

that initially flattened the curve very quickly, they're now seeing dozens of new cases all linked to one man who went to five different nightclubs. and in wuhan, china, the for tht time in a , they're of that's why here in paris people say they're excited to get back out here, but they're also cautiously optimistic because they know this is not over yet. george? >> they have to be careful. maggie, thanks very much. we turn to that alarming photo shared by a doctor on a cross-country flight. it shows a packed plane including health care workers flying back to san francisco after volunteering in new york. gio benitez brings us the details from newark airport. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, george. good morning. yeah, that doctor was praising united for flying volunteers for free. but he says once he got on that plane, they were shocked. this doctor's tweet going viral after boarding a united flight from newark to san francisco that was 85% full saturday afternoon. dr. ethan weiss posting this tweet, i guess united is

relaxing their social distancing policy nowadays. sarah nelson heads up the largest flight attendants union. >> what did you think when you saw that photo? >> the first thing i thought is that d.o.t. needs to take action here. this really has to be directed from the government. >> reporter: united says there were 22 empty seats on the plane, that most flights are less than 50% full, and that it is limiting advanced seat selection but cannot guarantee that all customers will be seated next to an unoccupied seat. and on friday tsa screened the most passengers since late march. so starting today all u.s. airlines require passengers to wear a face mask. robin? >> everybody needs to keep that in mind. gio, thank you so much. now to the new developments in the killing of ahmaud arbery, that young unarmed black man in georgia. the state's attorney general is now asking the justice department to investigate the handling of the case as authorities review newly obtained surveillance video that

appears to show him in the moments before the shooting. steve osunsami has the latest. he joins us this morning from atlanta. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. this state's attorney general is asking, of course, the u.s. justice department, as you said, to look into this case, but in particular, to look into the actions of the two prosecutors who did not issue charges in this case and who removed themselves from this investigation because of their connections to the two accused murderers, one of them a former police officer. state investigators who have taken over this case from county authorities are this morning looking at new videos that appear to show ahmaud arbery in the moments before he was shot and killed by travis mcmichael and his father gregory who spent a career in law enforcement working for local prosecutors. the two are charged with murder last week, nearly two and a half months after this killing was recorded on a cell phone in february. they say they were trying to

make a citizen's arrest when they say this young black man fought them. according to police, the mcmichaels told police they thought that arbery looked like someone who was seen breaking into neighborhood homes, but this morning those same police share that there were no reports of burglaries or thefts in that area in the two months before arbery was killed. this surveillance video obtained by our atlanta affiliate wsb will certainly be part of the debate. it was recorded shortly before arbery was killed, and shows a man walking into an open home construction site and looking around. arbery's family attorneys say they believe the second video obtained by abc news does show the 25-year-old former football player in that home under construction, but they underline that he wasn't breaking the law and left empty handed. >> they're trying to make out and try to justify for what they did. they can't do it. >> reporter: in a statement overnight, the owners of that home under construction make it very clear they had nothing to do with the young man's death

and say that they want ahmaud arbery's parents to know that they are very sorry for the loss of their son and they are praying for them. the family says they have no relationship with the mcmichaels and would have never wanted what they call a vigilante response. the family that owns that home where that home was being built, the construction site, says that when they looked at the video they weren't even sure that it was arbery. arbery was seen out jogging that day. it is a mostly white neighborhood, and authorities tell us that the only police report that they have in the area from around the shooting was a gun theft from a car, and that that home where that happened was the home of travis mcmichael, one of the two men accused of murder. michael? >> oh boy. okay, steve, thank you so much for that. and this morning we are celebrating the life of beloved actor jerry stiller who passed away overnight. the comedian was one half of the

comedy duo stiller and meara and his wife anne meara, they were married for more than 60 years. they appeared together on "the ed sullivan show." the veteran actor later became known for making us all laugh at the eccentric father on both the "king of queens" and "seinfeld." >> out of that a new holiday was born. a festivus for the rest of us. at the festivus dinner, you gather your family around and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year. >> and is there a tree? >> just like everybody's holiday right there, festivus for the rest of us. his son ben stiller writing this heartfelt tribute, i'm sad to say that my father, jerry stiller, passed away from natural causes. he was a great dad and grandfather and the most dedicated husband to anne for 62 years. he will be greatly missed. love you, dad. jerry stiller was 92 years old. one of my favorite shows, "king of queens," he always brought it, always made you laugh. >> all the time.

>> arthur spooner. arthur spooner. >> arthur spooner, that's right. >> yes. >> what a terrific career he had. >> what a talent. >> yes, such a talent. we are following a lot of other headlines this morning including michael's exclusive with the president of clorox. he's going to tell us when we'll see the popular disinfectant on the shelves. and overnight, shanghai disneyland opening its doors. what it could mean for the future of disney parks here in the u.s. first, let's go to ginger at home. hey, ginger. good morning. >> reporter: michael, i don't need to tell you, it was cold. it was snowing and it's may. so we had all-time record cold set from indianapolis to state college. look at the snow in detroit, michigan. that's the most snow they've had in may in nearly a century. i'll tell you so much more about the warmup to come but first we've got to get to the spring cities sponsored by zyrtec.

running plants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. we're joined by linda rendle, president of the clorox company. thank you for joining us. as you know, clorox products, particularly wipes, are in short supply. what are you seeing as far as supply goes or demand goes? >> good morning, michael. before i get started, i would love to thank everybody, all the caregivers and essential workers that are working so hard to keep our community safe and our hearts go out to everybody who's been affected by covid-19. it is true, wipes are in short supply right now, but the good news is we're delivering wipes to stores every single day. unfortunately, they're being snagged just about as soon as they hit shelves, many times within minutes. we've seen unprecedented spike in demand for wipes, up 500% versus a year ago, but we're working with everything feasible in our power to get as many disinfecting products to people as quickly as we can. >> your workers are working nonstop to make sure we have

enough of these wipes. but are people stockpiling or is this a case of just new demand for your products? why is there a shortage? >> we have seen so many people buy wipes that haven't bought them in the past. so most of this is new users and everybody wants products on hand so that they can disinfect and keep themselves safe during this time. we have seen some people stockpile and we would encourage all of those people who have a little too much at home to help share with everyone else so we all have the disinfecting products that we need. >> here's the big question. when can you walk into a store and they're there and you can buy them whenever you need them? >> i know that's the question on everybody's mind. we will expect improvement come this summer. it will all depend on the demand but we are doing everything in our power to ensure that we get products to store and that includes running our cleaning plants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. we began that in january. we're contracting with third party suppliers who are helping make product for us, as well as

ensuring that we are prioritizing making products that disinfect in our cleaning lineup and that's going to help us get into a better position in the summer. >> and because of the big demand we've seen price gouging happening. what are you guys doing to help fight that? >> we have absolutely zero tolerance for price gouging. everyone should be able to get the disinfecting products they need at standard prices. we've partnered with state and federal authorities to ensure that we're stopping the third parties from price gouging online, and the good news is we have seen improvement but we're continuing to monitor daily to ensure that we do not see that continued activity. >> and what are you guys doing to make sure there's demand in the fall and even next year, especially if there is a second wave of the coronavirus? >> yes, michael, we don't know exactly what the future holds for covid-19, but our team is doing everything we can to be ready, and it really comes down to ensuring that we can continue to run our operation 24 hours a

day, 7 days a week, and that's about keeping our team, the incredible people who are manufacturing our products on the front line today, healthy and well. we are doing that by ensuring that we enhance the safety protocols in our manufacturing facilities. we've implemented temperature scanning, face coverings, practicing distancing. we've also enhanced benefits and pay for those workers to ensure that they're able to deliver as many products as possible so we're ready for whatever the future holds. >> we know you guys are also doing a lot for the front line workers in health care. so what have you been doing? i know you've been making bigger drums of disinfectant and all those things for the hospitals. >> yes. so we've prioritized the care of caregivers in our communities during this time, and with that we've been able to donate $14 million in cash and product to help through organizations like the cdc foundation, the american red cross, and direct relief. in direct relief we were able to

get essential products like masks, over 2 million masks, to hospitals in need over the last couple of months, and we did create a special drum. it's 55 gallons of clorox bleach that we have donated to some of the largest health care facilities in the country, and that allows each one of those hospitals to clean up to 14,000 rooms so that they can keep their employees and their patients safe. >> ms. rendle, we want to thank you and we want to thanks clo rocks for their work and all your workers working 24/7 to make sure we have the supplies that we need. thank you so much. >> thank you. we turn now to shanghai disneyland. it is starting to re-open this morning, just the first phase, a careful first phase, with visitors required to wear masks, submit temperature screenings and social distancing. will reeve joins us for what this could mean for parks here in the u.s. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, george. careful is the operative word here. so many of those safety measures in place, visitors capped at one-third capacity, but as disney looks ahead to what might

good morning, america. good morning, america. it's 8:00 a.m. white house on high alert. two people in the west wing test positive for fears of an outbreak among those closest to the president. the vice president's press secretary also tests positive. the nation's top coronavirus experts, including dr. anthony fauci, now in quarantine. the administration ramping up social distancing and new safety measures. mysterious syndrome. new cases of that baffling illness linked to coronavirus affecting dozens of kids in ten states across the country. we'll talk to dr. jen ashton just ahead. deadly shark attack. the 26-year-old surfboard business owner killed by a shark officials limit beach access to keep crowds down during the outbreak. food fight. chrissy teigen's recipe for success, her popular instagram, her best selling cookbooks criticized by "new york times" columnist alison roman who says teigen's success horrifies her. the swift backlash, now the apology.

what roman is saying now as teigen turns her popular twitter account private. ♪ from zero to hero and we're taking your morning from zero to hero. the "disney family singalong: volume 2" was packed with stars from keke palmer to katy perry. we're taking you behind the scenes as we say good morning, america. nothing like a good singalong. we've surpris all-star do robin. >> we certainly do. she is a big lionel richie fan, so we sent t.j. and our team to figure out how to pull off one big surprise, and let's just say we left her dancing on the ceiling, george. >> they do know how to do it. that is coming up, robin.

first the latest on this covid-19 crisis. there are now more than 1.3 million cases here in the united states. at least 45 states have lifted some restrictions, taking the first steps to re-open, get people back to work. we're going to begin with those growing concerns about infections in the white house after at least two people in the west wing tested positive for the virus, including the vice president's press secretary. we're going to go back to our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. good morning, cecelia. >> reporter: good morning, george. because of those positive tests on the white house grounds there, dr. anthony fauci and other top health officials are having to self-quarantine. they were scheduled to testify before the senate health commite , eo conference instead. morning the white house is looking to ramp up social etings.ing measures including among those who tested positive, the vice president's press secretary. his office saying in a statement

he will be at the white house today and that he has tested negative every single day. it is the latest sign that not even one of the most secure compounds in the world is safe from the virus' spread. the nation's top coronavirus experts now forced to self-quarantine after coming into contact with an infected white house staffer, including dr. anthony fauci who is in what he calls a modified quarantine working from home but still possibly traveling in for meetings. cdc director robert redfield and fda commissioner stephen hahn also in quarantine for 14 days. still, some administration officials insist the white house remains safe. >> i can tell you this is probably the safest place that you can come to. >> reporter: but others like the president's senior economic adviser say they are scared. >> it is scary to go to work. you know, it's a small, crowded place. you know, it's a little bit risky. >> reporter: and in another sign of just how close to home this virus is now hitting washington, tennessee senator lamar

self-quarantine after a staffer tested positive, and his office says he's fine and has tested negative, but he will run tomorrow's health committee meeting with dr. fauci and other officials via video conference from home, robin. a sign of the times down here. >> certainly is, thank you. now to more details on the mysterious illness affecting children with links to covid. 85 cases are being investigated in new york alone with more popping up across the country. dr. jen ashton is back to help us break it down. we saw governor cuomo talking in a press conference about the new york health department investigating these cases. can you shed more light into that? >> well, we're still in the collecting and observing stage, robin. we have to remember, this virus is about five months old, so right now it's about making observation, connecting the dots, reviewing the clinical data on these cases thus far and

trying to figure out what exactly the connection or association is. >> are the symptoms similar between this rare disease and covid-19? >> well, when you look at kawasaki disease which is the most similar of this hyper inflammatory shock -- by the way, we don't know what causes kawasaki disease. then you look at the common symptoms of covid-19, you can see that really the biggest overlap in the acute setting is with fever, but we have to remember we're still learning about the signs and symptoms of covid-19. they may present differently in children. there's a saying in pediatrics, kids are not little adults. so again, we can't just have tunnel vision for only covid-19. we have to look for similarities, differences, and remember that this is a unique age group and a different population. >> we need to keep all of that in mind. but you know parents are going to be very concerned hearing about this. so when should they reach out to their pediatricians?

>> i always say always, robin. try not to be a doctor or a nurse to your own children, and if your child clearly has any of these concerning signs or symptoms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a change in the coloring around their lips or nail beds or chest pain, obviously you want to be in touch with your child's pediatrician. better to be safe than sorry, and everyone is on the lookout for this so you're never bothering someone. >> that's what they need to keep in mind. you cannot bother a pediatrician. you can't bother a doctor at all, especially during times like this. okay, jen, no worries there. thank you so much. michael? >> thank you, robin. now to our "gma" cover story, that deadly shark attack in california. a 26-year-old man killed while surfing even as officials limit beach access to keep crowds down during the pandemic. matt gutman joins us with more from los angeles. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. now it's believed that a

juvenile great white shark likely killed that surfer who bled out from a leg woun that beach just about an hour south of san francisco. now, that was saturday. a day earlier a local shark expert took these images, great whites prowling the shallows. now, that 26-year-old, ben kelly, he wasn't just a surfer, he operated a shop hand crafting surf boards in the area. sharks often harmlessly share the same waters as humans. i've seen it firsthand with shark researchers right off the southern california coast, but this morning in northern california the sheriff's department not taking chances, putting up these warning signs and prohibiting swimming within a mile of the attack. researchers tell me these shark attacks are extremely rare. sharks only killed two people in the u.s. last year. they also say this had nothing to do with covid. sharks apparently were attracted to these waters because they're warmer. michael? >> all right, matt. makes sense. thank you so much. robin? >> all right, michael, thank you. as promised this morning we're celebrating the life of

surprise. we knew you would be back. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: of course, robin. you can't get rid of me. now, this doctor, of course you can go to medical school, they can teach you to be a doctor, but this er doc says so much of her time and her skill really these days is about being a surrogate spouse, sibling, a friend to a lot of these covid patients who can't have their family next to them. so we wanted to honor her and surprise her and for this surprise i had to bring in help, somebody else to say hello, because it turns out it was not t.j. she was looking for. >> going to work. hopefully toy is going to be a great day. >> reporter: dr. nathalie douge is on the front lines at the long island jewish medical center. nearly every single one of her patients has covid. >> tell me this, what are your days like these days. >> an emotional roller coaster. some of these patients are so

vulnerable. the minute i told them they were positive, even though some of these patients had mild symptoms, they thought it was an automatic death sentence. i just feel like this could be me in an instant. this could be my loved one that's sitting there. >> reporter: one of dr. douge's patients, maria seguerra, 82 years old and with a slew of underlying conditions. >> there were some doctors who were very helpful but there were others who said, well, there's nothing that we can do. >> reporter: seguerra's granddaughter tells us just when the family thought all was lost, they met dr. douge who refused to give up. >> she said we're going to find out what's going on here. >> i told the family, i told the patient that we are going to do everything and anything possible to help her recover. i was determined she was going to be a success story. >> she dug and dug and she found the reason, and she treated it. she gave that extra that made

the difference in our case. god uses people as instruments to carry out his work, and i believe that dr. douge was that instrument that god put on earth to help my grandmother get through this and help her come back to us. >> reporter: for going above and beyond, we couldn't wait to give dr. douge a little treat. >> it's funny now because all the things we're talking about and my producers were getting me sad and saying she does this and works these hours, telling me all this stuff about this pandemic but, oh yeah, by the way, she's like a rabid lionel richie fan. ♪ all night long, all night, all night ♪ >> how cool would that be. this sounds cheesy and it's like a dad joke i guess but wouldn't it be cool if he could say hello right now. ♪ hello >> oh, my god! ♪ hello, is it me you're looking for ♪ >> oh, my god! >> surprise, doc.

>> good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco. have an umbrella handy. rain is rolling in this afternoon. it's a 1 on the storm impact scale. not only today, but now to a special guest and a special event that is close to my heart, the robin hood foundation gala. it raises money every year for new yorkers in need. now this year it's turning into a telethon for everyone to enjoy tonight. you have a chance to win an awesome online raffle prize, a game of football with some of the giants including myself and the man who is joining us right now, eli manning. good morning, eli. thank you for joining us, man. >> good morning, michael. thank you so much for having me. >> of course. how are you and the family holding up during quarantine? what are you doing? >> you know, michael, we're doing fine. you know, i just feel so blessed that we're all healthy, we're all together, and you know,

we've had some good quality bonding time during this. it's been unique. i didn't know retirement i was going to go straight into teaching so we got a big day ahead of us. we got parallelograms, a rhombus involved, some trapezoids, the industrial revolution. we got to talk about that a little bit. i got my math down, i got my fractions. i had to refresh the mind on that a little bit, but overall it is going well. we're having some fun also, some bike rides and different things like that. but i can't complain. we are healthy and doing well. >> great family time for sure. let's talk about tonight. you do a lot of work with robin hood foundation. why is that so important to you? >> well, i think for me it's just -- these are the people who, they cheered for me, they supported me for my 16 years as

a giant. they wore my jersey, they wore your jersey, and they just -- you know, during the great times they were there. i remember going through the canyon of heroes after you win a championship and you see 3 million new yorkers cheering you on, and then also during the tough times, during the losses, you know, they had my back and support me. now these people need our support. they need our help. they're going through a tough time. there's 2 million new yorkers that are going hungry right now. there's 750,000 kids that have lost access to meals because there's no more schools. parents are skipping meals to try to feed their kids. so they need our help and no one knows how to help them better than robin hood. they've been doing this for 30 years. they know how to get access to these people that need our help that have been affected by this pandemic, and so to jump on with them for this telethon to raise awareness, raise funds, for you and i to start our own gofundme

page to get some teammates, this is important to help these people to show a thank you for supporting me, and also knowing they're in need, and it's my job to support them during this time. >> tell you what, you called me up and it's part of the -- it's a $10 online raffle prize through the robin hood foundation. you and i along with phil simms and justin tuck are going to play touch football with the winner. on top of that, it's going to be commentated by the legendary bob costas and mike tirico. also going to eat dinner. we're going to have a catered dinner with the family as well. they will take a picture with all four super bowl trophies that the giants have won and they get their own super bowl ring. are you ready to get back on the can you handle it? >> i want to know if you're going to have to play offense. are you going to have to run a route or are you just playing defense? >> i'm playing defense because i'm coming for you because the last time you and i were together was after a super bowl and we have a picture of this. i got a little excited when you helped us win the super bowl, my friend. i may have the same reaction so

i hope you're prepared for that. >> i'm just glad i'm smiling in that picture. otherwise i think something else is going on. looks like you're trying to choke me out. >> never. eli, i'm always proud to be your teammate. i'm proud to be your teammate through the robin hood foundation telethon tonight. couldn't -- enjoy your retirement. enjoy all those math questions and everything else with the kids. we appreciate your time this morning, and i will see you on the football field as usual. >> i look forward to it. >> me too. >> thank you, michael. >> the robin hood foundation telethon is tonight at 7:00 eastern on abc news live and wabc in the new york area. to enter the raffle to play football with me and the man right there, eli manning, two-time super bowl champion, head to omaze.com/giants, robin? >> that is omazing to think about you back on the field with your teammates like that. that is great, michael, absolutely great. now we have a first look at the trailer for a new
