looking live at arlington national cemetery in virginia. a quarter of a million flags have been placed at the head stones to honor america's fallen heros. the latest now on the coronavirus emergency. there have been 20,000 new cases and 600 new deaths reported in the united states in the past 24 hours. we begin with the latest on the country re-opening. so many americans crowded beaches and boardwalks over the holiday weekend. stephanie ramos starts us off at a beach in new jersey. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: michael, good morning. state beaches here in new jersey are open and the governor is stressing safety. we're seeing reminders of that like this social distancing sign, but now it's up to the visitors to follow the rules. this weekend, hundreds of thousands heading outside for the holiday, from beaches -- >> there's not even one person who is wearing a mask. >> reporter: -- to boardwalks. >> it's really crowded. it's beautiful out. >> reporter: packing pools in the ozarks.

i'm happy that a lot of people are out. it may be dangerous, but we'll see the cases when we see this weekend over. >> there's two people out the sunroof throwing money. >> reporter: to flooding streets near daytona beach. >> this type of behavior is unacceptable. >> reporter: in texas a line of at least 1,300 people waiting to get into this water park saturday. and in houston, scenes like this nightclub crammed with partiers prompting the mayor to promise stepped up enforcement of occupancy rules after he says the city was flooded with complaints of more hand 250 social distancing violations in just 48 hours. >> and you all in close proximity with other people, i would encourage you on tuesday to go to one of the 27 free testing sites in the city of houston and get yourself tested. >> reporter: in north dakota where it is not currently mandatory to wear a mask, the governor emotional, urging his

residents to not politicize those who do wear them. >> if someone is wearing a mask, they're not doing it to represent what political party they're in or what candidates they support. they might be doing it because they've got a 5-year-old child who's been going through cancer treatments. they might have vulnerable adults in their life who are currently -- who currently have covid and are fighting. >> reporter: places of worship in some areas also opening their doors despite being potential hot spots. president trump calling on governors to allow in-person services this weekend. but not all governors agree. in new jersey churches have been ordered to remain closed. but solid rock baptist church re-opened anyway, this as eight states are still reporting increases in new covid cases including arkansas which is going through a second peak. officials say this was partially brought on after a cluster of new infections emerged from a group of high schoolers who attended a pool party. >> we want to be out. we want to enjoy ourselves, but

let's be safe and let's be disciplined at the same time. >> reporter: and in missouri, health officials say two hairstylists who work at the same salon may have exposed nearly 150 clients to the virus after going to work with symptoms for several days. officials now reaching out to everyone who was possibly exposed, offering testing. >> if we're going to work sick and sharing this illness with others, that's not a good approach. >> reporter: dr. deborah birx telling martha raddatz it is difficult to tell if the country may need to close again if there's another surge in cases, something the president says he will not do. >> we're trying to understand during this period of coming out of the closure how do we maintain openness and safety, and i think that's what we're going to be learning through may, june, and july. >> reporter: at beaches across the country these precautions that have been put in place, they will vary. here in new jersey the governor

has increased the gathering size from 10 to 25 people, and from what we've seen so far, even though it's a rainy day, the small groups we've seen are abiding by that rule. eva? >> stephanie ramos, thank you. memorial day is usually one of the busiest travel days of the year but this year the holiday is expected to be one of the slowest ever recorded. adrienne bankert joins us now from an unusually quiet laguardia airport. good morning to you, adrienne. >> reporter: good morning, eva. i want to show you the line or the lack thereof. look behind us, nobody going through security. it's been olymplike that since arrived at laguardia airport. think about all the business surrounding airports, taxi cabs, rental car companies, the food court, it is a ghost town. but the tsa says travel is inching up. they screened 350,000 passengers on friday. to put that in perspective it's the highest passenger screened since november 22 but still 80% down from this same time last year.

road trips are down too according to triple a and they say that the speeds of people driving on the roads are up 50%, especially in cities like new york and l.a. that are usually gridlocked compared to this same time last year. eva? >> adrienne, are we seeing any signs of what the summer vacation season might look like? >> reporter: well, you know, it's interesting. a lot of people are actually getting rvs, renting rvs. so we might see a shift in how people vacation. but according to a harris poll, 50% of people say they're going to put off leisure travel until 2021. eva? >> adrienne bankert for us. over to you, whit. to washington now and the latest on president trump's response to the coronavirus emergency. the president banning travel to the u.s. from brazil where cases of covid-19 are surging. rachel scott is joining us with more from washington. rachel, good morning to you. >> reporter: whit, good morning. brazil is another hot spot facing travel restrictions into the u.s.

the white house says this new travel ban is aimed at preventing new infections and protecting american lives, and we know this is something the president was considering over the last week. he told reporters he does not want travelers coming here to the u.s. and infecting americans. white house officials say this is likely temporary. it will go into effect on thursday night and does not apply to u.s. citizens. now, brazil is second only to the u.s. with the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, more than 300,000 there, and the trump administration has already banned certain travelers from other hot spots including china and much of europe, but these travel restrictions have been known to spark chaos, prompting travelers to book flights to the u.s. before it goes into effect. whit? >> rachel, this latest move comes as the president continues his push to re-open the country as the death toll here in the u.s. approaches 100,000. >> reporter: that's exactly right, whit. flags flying at half staff at the white house as we reach that grim milestone.

but the president spent much of his weekend on the golf course, returning for the first time in 75 days. today he will head to baltimore to honor fallen troops. the mayor in that city though urging the president to reconsider this visit, saying it contradicts the local stay-at-home orders and puts a strain on safety resources. whit? >> rachel scott in washington, our thanks to you. michael? >> thank you, whit. now to those new concerns on the border. covid-19 cases are climbing in mexico. some doctors there grow uneasy about americans traveling and possibly bringing the virus down south. ian pannell joins us now from mexico city with more. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. that's right, rising cases and rising concerns here in mexico. now, although that land border is technically closed, we're seeing traffic moving in both directions and people are still able to get on a plane and travel by air. here in mexico, the death toll continues to mount with the number of reported cases now topping 68,000. this cemetery used to bury around five people a day.

now it's at capacity, 24 hours a day, at least 25 bodies, and this is just the latest covid-19 victim to be entered. there are now spikes in border cities like tijuana just across from san diego. mexican officials believe travelers from the u.s. are bringing the virus into the country, a source of anxiety for some like this intensive care unit doctor. [speaking foreign language] >> reporter: so much traffic at the crossing makes me afraid she says. we're going to have another wave of covid cases in a couple of weeks. we've been talking to mexico's chief epidemiologist, mexico's equivalent of dr. fauci. he's telling us the country is now in the peak but it will be here for a couple of weeks, but those rising number of cases in tijuana and across the border in san diego will make it much harder for both countries to try and contain this spread. guys?

>> ian pannell in mexico city, our thanks to you. now to that urgent manhunt for a university of connecticut senior suspected in two murders and considered armed and dangerous. police across three states are searching for the 23-year-old. erielle reshef joins us now with the latest. good morning to you, erielle. >> reporter: good morning, eva. police have been on the hunt for that university of connecticut senior since friday. authorities warning he may be armed with pistols and long guns. this morning, the urgent multi-state manhunt for a suspected killer authorities say is armed and extremely dangerous. >> we're actively and continuously looking for this individual. >> reporter: overnight officials releasing new photos of university of connecticut senior peter manfredonia. police say the 23-year-old university of connecticut student is wanted in connection with two murders. authorities say he was last spotted in east stroudsburg, new jersey in this black volkswagen jetta. it was discovered in new jersey at the pennsylvania border. police say manfredonia attacked

two men with an edged weapon, killing 62-year-old ted demers before fleeing on his motorcycle. >> nothing like this has ever happened. you can't ask for a better family. >> reporter: sunday morning another man reported being held against his will by manfredonia who police say stole the man's truck, food and firearms. that truck was found abandoned in derby near the home where investigate frs say he killed a childhood friend before fleeing the state in another stolen car. >> we are investigating all the possible leads that we have. >> reporter: manfredonia was studying business and engineering at the university of connecticut. the school says it is working with authorities in this investigation. police say if you see manfredonia, do not approach him, and call 911 immediately. eva. >> erielle reshef for us, thank you. we of course will continue to follow the latest on the hunt for that suspect. michael? we're going to turn to something on the happier side. the g.o.a.t. showdown on the

green is trending big. peyton manning and tiger woods faced off against tom brady and phil mickelson. from the trash talk to the moment a six-time super bowl champ split his pants on the course. t.j. holmes joins us with that and more, hopefully not too much more, t.j. good morning. >> reporter: no, we'll leave it there. still we're in strange times right now, stra. we gathered around the tv on a sunday to watch two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time compete in a sport other than football. that's sports these days, right, guys? still, this was supposed to be an exhibition. they turned it into a very serious but still wildly entertaining competition. >> game day has arrived. the match is on. >> reporter: brady versus manning, but on the greens, not the gridiron. >> they're hitting shots in the rain. >> reporter: teaming up with golf pros tiger woods and phil mickelson for an epic clash simply dubbed "the match"

with sir charles barkley in the broadcast booth. >> he got all those balls like he going to hit all those balls >> reporter: the trash talk started. >> you bring eli. he could do that. you bring nick foles, maybe. >> that's a cheap shot. >> reporter: the match was a sight for sports-starved eyes, and there was some great golf. after a rain delay teammates manning and woods took on early lead. >> bam, oh, peyton manning. >> reporter: but six-time super bowl champ tom brady struggled to stay on target. >> yikes. >> i see it. >> did it cover it? >> it's still in the sand there. >> tiger and phil came out, took three swings and they're ready to go. i've taken about 3,000. >> reporter: he even had a wardrobe issue, splitting his pants. but ever the golden boy, making this amazing shot on the 7th hole. >> oh, go in. >> oh, my goodness!

>> reporter: social media was eating it up, reacting to the contest in real time, including brady's wife wishing her hubby luck, and from little brother eli manning, a pro tip. maybe aim for the green parts. in the end, manning and woods were victorious. >> way to go, bro. way to go. >> great job, man. >> reporter: but the match was a win all around. the event raised $20 million for covid relief and will be auctioning off items used during the match like these customized golf carts. it's called "the match," but this was really, stra, "the match part two." it was woods and mickelson that went head-to-head for the first "the match" back in 2018 for a $9 million prize. mickelson won that. already people are talking about clamoring for "the match part three," whatever that might be. >> also, i think people are looking for when professional sports is going to come back. do you have any idea on that? >> reporter: yeah. there's some movement for all the leagues. the nba, first of all, they have some facilities open. some teams have opened their training facilities to players, but now there's talks the nba is

in talks with disney, our parent company here at abc news, to actually put all the games, practices and teams and house the players at one complex in florida at one disney complex. they're talking about possibly a july start. the mlb hasn't started their season yet. they're in negotiations this week. they're going back and forth about money, the players and owners, but they're eyeing possibly a july start to their season. the nhl does not have a timeline for when they come back, but they actually -- the players have at least approved an expanded playoff season. so they're kind of getting the season in place even though they don't know when the players might come back. so safety is key to get protocols and guidelines in place first of all, but looks like some movement, stra. >> all right, a lot of fans hoping it works out. t.j., thank you so much for that, my friend. we are following a lot of other headlines this morning including those food fears, concern about supplies with so many companies hit hard by the pandemic. an executive from one large regional super market chain is going to join us live for what

it means for your holiday cook out. and your best bet for finding a bicycle and why it's hard to get your hands on one. first, let's go to ginger. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: good morning, eva. good morning, everybody. you know, it was such an active weekend severe weatherwise. we had more than 350 severe storm reports. you can see the video from this tornado in western illinois. that's stark county. that was one tornado of 23 on saturday. now today i think from minnesota through wisconsin back through the ozarks of oklahoma, arkansas, and yes, into texas, we'll have enough energy and enough of a childress to midland to el paso cold front that we're going to kick off some storms. at first tornado possibilities and then flash flood issues and flash flood watches through the middle of the country. so it's not just ruining your barbecue but dangerous potentially. let's get the select cities sponsored by walgreens.

coronavirus death toll nears 100,000 in the u.s. also right now, president trump announcing that new travel ban. travel from brazil will be suspended. coronavirus cases surging there, brazil only second behind the u.s. and we're tracking those memorial day deals that you can still get right now. this morning we've got the best bargains to help you upgrade your summer at home. that's all coming up in our second hour. we begin with new questions about the food supply after those meat plant closures. meat packing plants one of the key hot spots for coronavirus transmissions and the impact is still being felt at your local grocery store. but how long will it last? will reeve joins from pittsburgh with more. good morning to you, will. >> reporter: good morning, michael. usually around memorial day grocery stores have sales on hot dogs and hamburgers, but this year covid-19 has reeked havoc on the food supply chain and that's driving costs up everywhere. memorial day might look different this morning for millions of americans amid the

pandemic. >> what we have seen, the disruption, across the entire food supply chain. >> reporter: the nation's food industry taking a hit, reeling from the effects of covid. authorities say food packing plants are coronavirus hot spots, along with nursing homes and correctional facilities. according to the cdc, nearly 5,000 meat packing workers at 115 facilities in 19 states have been infected with covid-19. dozens of plants across the country closing for days or even weeks to slow or stop the spread of the virus. >> the facility itself did not really have the proper method in place to really protect the front line workers, and we started to see one plant after the other really got exposed. >> reporter: just last week, tyson foods confirming 570 workers in one of their north carolina poultry facilities tested positive for the virus. that's more than a quarter of the plant's total workforce. and it's not just meat plants.

last week at a dole fresh vegetable plant in ohio, health officials identified 20 cases of covid. they say the company is doing everything right in the heat of the outbreak and is working with authorities on contact tracing. dole saying it will continue to place employee health and well-being above all else. but with supplies down, prices are surging. this month fresh beef rose 11.9% compared to last year, chicken increasing 7.5%, and the pandemic is not just affecting our meat supply this memorial day. consumers are reportedly paying 4.5% more for carbonated drinks like soda and 3.8% more for snack foods. >> we are seeing obviously the higher prices, shortages in certain commodities, and this will continue. this impact will actually outlast the virus itself. >> reporter: according to the u.s. bureau of labor's consumer price index report, grocery bills were up 2.6% in april. that's the largest monthly

increase in nearly 50 years, michael. >> the shortage is being felt. thank you so much, will. we are joined live now by nicholas bertram, president of the giant company, the supermarket chain operating 186 stores under the giant and martin brands from pennsylvania to virginia. mr. bertram, thank you so much for joining us this morning. we've seen shortages at supermarkets across the country which were pretty bad a few weeks ago. but what are you seeing right now in your stores? >> good morning, michael. i would say what we're seeing is continued improvement week over week. the entire american food supply chain has been hustling and working very hard to make sure there's more availability. we're starting to see that. we are seeing it on the side counters, in the meat departments, in our fresh meat cases and really across everything. even though there's not the variety that consumers saw pre-covid, it's definitely improving every single week. >> what items are still in short supply, and when do you think those items and the availability will be back to normal?

>> some of the classics would be like paper goods and household cleaners. those types of things have not yet fully recovered. you have some things in the baking aisle and spices that have not fully recovered as well. then you've got great things like fruit and veg where if you have a great local supplier like our company does, you really didn't see any impact at all. even in meat, poultry and meat are looking good right now and beef is showing recovery, albeit a bit slower. >> we see the unfortunate struggles in the meat packing plants across the country but has that affected your meat supply? i think you just said there hasn't been any effect on the meat. >> it was supposed to. i was visiting stores over the weekend and sent a note to our head of meat and seafood, her name is deb, and asked her where are the problems. she reminded me that she had already diversified the network and put what we call primals inside our stores. i didn't see any problems and in fact we removed limits for consumers just last week. so it is coming back, michael. >> a lot of consumers will be

happy with that. are you seeing surprising trends in terms of what people are now buying? >> yeah, actually exploration. i think there are going to be a lot of budding chefs coming out of covid. people are going into more tropical fruits, exotic vegetables, specialty and ethnic meal kits are definitely on the rise in the stores, meal prep. so there are some fun things that are going to come out of this even though there are still a lot of hard things that we're all getting through together. >> a lot of people making good out of all this. can you tell us about precautions that your company is taking for the store workers, for the customers, to make sure that when more customers come into the store that they're safe? >> yeah, safety is very important for us, especially for the 36,000 teammates that i'm responsible for. we worked really hard to get ppe available for them as soon as possible and that supply is now good. we installed shields. we limited the number of people that were in stores and do some things that customers thought were a little too far like

one-way aisles. but it was all about safety for our teammates and customers whenever they actually came in. as social distancing has become a bit more normal, we're able to relax certain things but there are other things that we will not relax because safety is to come first. >> better safe than sorry. thank you so much for your time this morning. we appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you, michael. >> eva? coming up later, camps going virtual. how kids can still have fun and avoid brain drain this summer. next, the bike spike across the country. becky worley breaks down why there's a bicycle shortage and how you can still find one. >> just take whit's. whit.

there are people who say things aren't made here anymore. those people should make a trip to michigan. or kentucky. or illinois. where you'll find our workers and dealers and engineers and technicians. building for america. we're proud to employ more hourly workers than any other automaker in this country.

you are. cause frosted mini wheats are made to fill people up. and they have 10 layers of wheat and seven vitamins and minerals. just one bowl and you're good till lunch.

back now with the so-called bike spike. so many businesses are struggling right now but there's actually a nationwide shortage of bicycles. it's a story we first saw in "the new york times," and becky worley joins us from san francisco with more on if you can actually still find one. good morning to you, becky. >> reporter: good morning, eva. whether you're turning to a bike for transportation or for exercise, they're a godsend right now. but if you're trying to buy one, good luck. quarantined and inside has become free wheeling and out. that is if you already own a bike. demand for bicycles is riding high. sales of kids' bikes up 59%,

research that showed americans were becoming significantly less kind. >> reporter: the average american was less empathic than 75% of americans just 30 years before. >> reporter: but here's the good news. empathy, once thought to be a hard-wired trait, is actually more of a skill. and during this pandemic many of us seem to be working on that skill. >> making kindness our routine, making it a habit and it can just become part of who we are. >> reporter: and social distancing, zachy says flip it around when it comes to social media. >> instead of social distancing, distance socializing. reach out to others and try to make a difference for them. >> reporter: these days we might even find a meaningful connection online. >> we now are using these platforms to be vulnerable. >> reporter: like many parents, i'm overwhelmed and tired. i recently posted this picture on instagram. it says it all with the caption, really running out of things to do with this kid. >> we're vulnerable together, which shows us all we have in common and how much we need each

marinated in a creamy italian homemade dressing. >> reporter: step one, whisk your dressing with a bit of sugar to help your chick caramelize on the grill. next, cut into strips instead of chunks. finally, combine your chicken and half the dressing in a resealable bag to marinate. then it's time to fire up the grill. >> i like my coals really hot before you put the chicken on because you want a nice char on the outside and cooked through. i went with boneless chicken breasts because that's what i had in my freezer but boneless chicken thighs are also really great. really juicy, really flavorful. >> reporter: not to be forgotten, the side. >> after we're done grilling the chicken we're going to grill up some sweet onions to make a grilled onion and tomato salad. >> reporter: brush the onions with olive oil and grill them until they are golden brown. then toss those together with your tomatoes. >> we will take the dressing that we reserved on the side before we used the other half and dress the salad with it.

there's your grilled onion and tomato salad with creamy italian dressing. thanks, guys. >> adam rapoport is joining us from his back yard right now. good morning, adam. how are you doing, my friend? >> i'm good, michael. how are you? >> i'm hungry now after watching that piece right there. adam, so many people are staying at home right now. a lot of people are in their kitchen, me being one of them, but for anyone who is intimidated by the grill, what is your number one tip for firing it up this summer? >> i think counter intuitive, you want to get it hot because, a, that's going to give you that nice crisp sear on the outside of your steak, burger or dog, and the hotter it is, the less things will stick to the grill. the only time you want that medium, medium-low is if you're doing bone-in chicken and you want it to cook slowly and cook all the way through. >> great advice because most guys wanted to ask that but they wouldn't because every man i know, i know how to grill, when we really don't. cleared that up for a lot of guys out there. >> you would be surprised,

michael. >> exactly. you made chicken skewers but with meat in such high demand, what if someone doesn't have that? is there something they can swap to make it work? >> absolutely. whether you're using shrimp, pork, beef, mushrooms, the important thing is you're doing it on a skewer and marinating it. it cooks evenly and quickly. >> let's talk about the marinade. you say this one is a great way to use whatever you have left over in your pantry. what are the options? >> what i love about it is you got the mayo, vinegar. i used apple cider vinegar but you can also use rice vinegar which is great for everything. red wine vinegar is fine. i use cherry pickled tomatoes -- pickled peppers, excuse me, but you could also use regular pickles, pickled jalapeno. you want something briney and pickly. mix it together, sugar to sweeten it up. could not be easier.

>> we've all seen the classic kebab, meat, veggies, all kinds of things on there, but you say that's not actually the best way to grill. why is that? >> when you and i were growing up, our parents were throwing those on and you get the overcooked beef, the undercooked onion, the tomato that's falling apart. it's a disaster. cook everything the same. so put all your protein on one skewer, all your onions and vegetables on the other so they'll cook at the exact same time so you get that perfect doneness. if you mix them up, you're asking for trouble. >> my mom said that was building up the immune system when something wasn't cooked. i'm joking. you do have a bonus recipe you're going to share with us. it's perfect for people who stocked up on rice. >> yeah. so we all stocked up on rice when it was time to quarantine. what i like to do is make a pot of rice, michael. then i'll throw in some grilled scallions i'll throw on the grill. i've got fresh herbs, cilantro, basil, parsley.

miss crafty. there you go. that's a little one. this looks like a little chocolate bonbon. >> i'm looking at soap, muffins, cupcakes. you're doing it well in quarantine. a lot of people though are getting more relaxed in quarantine. you talk about producers and actually you just embraced it. what are you doing now? sgliem n >> i'm not a relaxed person. i have to always be doing something, creating something. the idea of sitting down and not doing anything panics me. my kids are much better at it. they can relax and chill. not me. >> let's talk about your new show "barkskins." in three words or less, how would you describe it? >> oh, exciting, massacre,re,re, environmental. >> oh, exciting, massacre, environmental. >> environmental is like a -- not part -- it is so exciting.

it is such a massacre, and it's historic historical. there you go, historical. >> i love it. we're going to look at a clip right now. let's check it out. >> what is he asking? >> he's from the hudson company. >> mr. cook has already met him? what else? >> i have kept my ears open as you have asked. i don't know what you and mr. cook are up to, nor do i care, but i will have my payment now. >> we have no money. it's all on the table with a pair of queens. >> get a marker. >> oh. you described it very, very well. that was awesome. you pursued the role as a fan of this book that it was based on. you loved the book so much you pursued this role, but what was it like bringing that story to life with all the accents and the costumes? >> it was so fantastic. i loved the book "barkskins." it's amazing. it's a big tone. to be a part of it, to be on that set, to be where this historical event really happened was amazing.

then to play that character, like the next line in that little scene that you just saw, she says, i will club your balls into your belly. so to be able to play a woman like that at that time who's just kind of finding her own power, it was really exciting. >> you just made me sit up really straight with that, that next line. we have to ask you about another show "how to get away with murder." you were on the show in season one. your character sort of came back in the final episode. what did you think of the finale? >> you know, i have to admit, i didn't see it. i was working when they offered me to come back and do the finale and i couldn't do it. but viola came up to me at a party, one of the emmy parties. she walked up to me and she said we shoot you in the face. i was like, sorry i couldn't be there. they really -- apparently the character just turned super, super, super evil at the last minute. i wish i had gotten to be there

and play her. >> we know that you are buzzsbu. you're busy at home with the kids and i'm sure they've been catching up on your movie roles. do they have a favorite? >> can i tell you, i'm asking them all the time, guys, sit down, watch my movies. you don't know what i've done. i'm an actress, i really am. guys, let's watch "mystic river", one of my favorites. they're like, mom, we'd rather watch "rupaul's drag race." i don't have much sway in the house. that's all there is to it. >> be safe and be healthy and all those things. we appreciate you waking up and joining us this morning. continued good luck with the soap and everything else you're working on there. marcia gay harden, thank you. >> thank you so much. you guys stay safe too. >> thank you. >> i was in my pajamas at trader joe's the other day. >> aren't we all. >> i was in my pajamas yelling. they were like, if you're 60, come on in. it's the only time in hollywood an actress is like, let me in.

they're like, hey, marcia, how are you doing? whatever. >> we got to find cell phone video of that. >> we got to get cell phone video of that. marcia gay harden, thank you so much. take care. >> pajamas are appropriate anywhere at this point in our lives. >> i agree with that.

them could get three to five inches. le good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco. two big stories. dangerous air and dangerous heat. we've got 'em both today, but the dangerous heat will last through at least thursday with record highs possible tomorrow and wednesdadadadadadadadadadada "artemis fowl" is one of the most beloved book series of all time and now the global phenomenon about the 12-year-old criminal mastermind is coming to life on disney plus. joining us live this morning from dublin is author eoin cofler. thanks for joining us. congratulations on the success and the new movie coming out. let's jump right to it. people of all ages have fallen in love with the series since the first book debuted back in 2000. now this all-star cast, we got to drop a few names, josh gad, judi dench, colin farrell,

ferdia shaw as how does it feel to have this story that you've been working on for almost two decades now come to life in a motion picture? >> it is very cool. the coolest thing is that technically i am the father figure in the book so colin farrell is playing me, so that's -- i'm pretty happy about that. >> absolutely. that's a good choice. we talked about the cast and you mentioned colin farrell. did you have any say in picking out that cast? >> i had a meeting a few years ago and the one thing we wanted to try and do was to find an irish boy to play artemis which we found or he found ferdia shaw who's fantastic. but after that it was the best performer for the job so any race, any gender. it was all up for grabs, and i think really with judi dench and laura mcdonald and of course the amazing josh gad, you can see him there, we definitely got the best people for the job.

>> the trailer is incredible. in the movie, artemis ends up discovering a world below ground of armed dangerous and extremely high tech fairies who may be behind his father's disappearance. there's a clip we're about to show and artemis realizes that his father has been hiding a clue to his whereabouts that only artemis could find. let's take a look. >> who wrote this? >> nobody knows. that's just it. >> how did you find it? >> it's known as the irish blessing. it's a journal. it's dad's journal. >> you can see that suspense building. you have two sons yourself. have they been into the series? have they read the book? sometimes as a parent you can't always get your kids to be into the same things that you're into, right? >> when this movie was initially going to be in the theaters --

there they are. i said to my two boys, finn and sean, only people who have read the book are going to the premiere. the younger guy, sean, said to me, where exactly is the premiere? if it's in london, i'm not reading it. if it's in l.a., i will read it. so he was prepared to read it to go to los angeles but i'm not sure now how that's going to go. it's hard because you can watch it in the sitting room now on disney plus. so it might not be enough incentive. >> smart kid. i'm sure he's excited to see the movie coming out. >> yeah. >> i want to talk about josh gad for a moment. hilarious, plays olaf from "f z "froz "frozen." he's going to be on the show a little while from now to talk about the movie as well. did he pull any funny pranks there? we're looking at a picture of him here reading while in costume on set. >> i think -- i've met josh a few times now socially and for work and knowing him as you do and i do, the most unlikely

thing you would see is josh being still and quiet. the first time i met him he was being scanned for his digital avatar on set, and so he had to stand absolutely still for 15 minutes while i was dancing around being the funny guy. i think that it was very difficult for him to stay still because he's such a natural and fantastic comedian. so that was an unusual first meeting because i thought this guy's not very friendly. he's not saying a word. but i realized later he had to stay still for digital reasons. >> he's a pro, a professional, doing what he has to do. eoin, thank you so much. again, congratulations on the movie coming out. of course you can binge all of eoin's "artemis fowl" novels before the movie comes out on disney plus on june 12th. coming up, golden globe winner ramy youssef is with us live.

i've been involved in. communications in the media for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot.

prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

welcome back to "gma." we are back with a very funny guest joining us. ramy youssef is the golden globe winning creator and star of the show "ramy" which is loosely based on his life as a millennial muslim american. good morning to you and thank you so much for being with us this morning. let's start first, when you won the golden globe earlier this year you said, quote, i know you guys haven't seen my show. has that changed? >> yeah, apparently people -- a little reverse psychology works. it really -- it felt like the show just came out again, you know. i said it -- i wasn't planning on anything. i really didn't think i would win. i looked down and i was looking at brad pitt. i was like, yeah, i don't think you and seen it. >> the word is out. it's a huge success. when you head outside now, i know sometimes we have to wear face masks given the situation that we're in, but are people recognizing you more and more when you're out on the street after winning the golden globe?

>> yeah. pre-face mask for sure and then i actually was wearing it and a few people came up to me and i was like, wow, i didn't think this would happen with a mask on but it did. yeah, that's definitely been crazy. >> even behind the mask, that's impressive. >> yeah. >> i heard somewhere that you actually left the golden globe statue at your mom's house. is that the case? why is that? >> i didn't leave it there. it was confiscated pretty much immediately. my mom was like i'm taking this. i was like, yeah, you deserve this. i've put you through too much. at least you get to have the globe. >> mom earned that globe, she says, right? we've got a clip from the new season. let's take a look. >> it's like the more people i'm with, the lonelier i feel. i went to egypt to try and find something and i just made my whole life worse. i want you to be my teacher. i want to take the bait. i want to kill my ego.

>> how do i know i'm not just another one of your desires? >> i don't want to have sex with you. >> i didn't think you did. >> okay. >> that's oscar winning actor mahershala ali in that scene with you. he's joined the show for season two. how did you get him on board? >> he was so kind. he just called after watching the first season and he was so happy to see just a show that's about a pralcticing muslim, that's not about terrorism. it's about someone trying to get closer to their faith. it felt very close to his own real life experience, so he was just calling to say congrats and he was like, hey, you know, i'm here as a friend. let me know if you need anything. then pretty quickly i was like, hey, you know about that part where you said if i need anything, do you want to be on the show? and then we got him to do a couple episodes which turned

into a big season the more we worked together on the character. >> that's amazing. ramy, you touched on this briefly, but your show intersects two story lines brilliantly, a faith journey as a muslim american and what it's like to grow up as a millennial in new jersey. which was a more challenging story to tell? >> you know, it's hard to really get into new jersey, man. like it's funny, for all the misconceptions around muslims, there's like a billion of us and people are like, yeah, i know a muslim. but new jersey, people don't get us, you know. it's two outsider stories. truly, truly people who are misunderstood. but muslims are the best and new jersey is the best state in the country. that's kind of my mission to show both of those things. >> you represent both well, that's for sure. >> people in new jersey are proud of you this morning. season two of "ramy" premieres friday on hulu. we'll be right back. premieres friday on hulu. we'll be right b
