praised for his work in climate change and racial equality. >> when you saw the video of him being shoved to the ground, what went through your mind? >> shock. immediately i thought, oh, my god, i think that's our member, martin gugino. >> reporter: president trump now pushing a conspiracy theory about gugino on twitter saying he could be an antifa provocateur, adding, i watched. he fell harder than was pushed. republicans were already mostly silent about trump's handling of protests, but this latest tweet stumping them even more. >> what do you make of the president's tweet this morning? >> it makes no sense that they are fanning the flames. >> reporter: new york governor andrew cuomo calling the antifa allegation fabricated. >> you think the blood coming out of his head was staged? is that what you're saying?

everyone is treated equally in the eyes of the law, and to target him when everyone saw on video exactly what happened is just such a reprehensible act and it just goes to show how far we have to go in the fight for justice in this country. >> let's talk more about that right now. the white house is taking you on for supporting the defund the police movement. but it's not just president trump. you know, joe biden doesn't support defunding the police either. this morning he writes in "usa today," the better answer is to give police departments the resources they need to implement meaningful reforms and to condition other federal dollars on completing those reforms. what's wrong with that argument? >> well, i think in a lot of different places in america we experience very different realities with the police. here in new york city -- and i happen to represent the bronx. i have rikers island here in my district. and the new york city police department has a $6 billion a year budget.

that is more than we spend on youth, housing, health care and homelessness combined in new york city. and so the problem is not a lack of resources here. in fact, many folks here in our community say that the problem is the opposite. not enough resources are being put into the very kinds of social programming and investments that prevent crime and social discord in the first place and so what a lot of folks are talking about, when it comes to this movement, is that they're asking for the same budget priorities that many affluent suburbs already have. it may sound strange, but many affluent suburbs have essentially already begun pursuing a defunding of the police in that they fund schools, they fund housing and they fund health care more as their number one priorities. >> why is it necessary to take the money from the police? i understand your argument you're making about expanding social services and investing in social services, but the research does show that more police on the street means less crime.

>> well, i think there's -- one question that is interesting here is that when it comes to funds, it's not always just about the number of officers in the street. it's about these police precincts that have tanks and military weaponry and frankly have a degree of -- that have a degree of material resources and war-like weaponry that people ask, why does a local police precinct have this in the first place? so when we talk about defunding it can show up in multiple ways. additionally, the other way that we talk about, you know, in this is that when people ask for health care, when they ask for housing, when they ask for education, people always say how are you going to pay for it? and so what this movement is doing first and foremost it's important to note this is directed at city councils and mayors, and so you should look to see if your city is having this conversation. but first -- and the other

question here too, and i think it's a valid question for people to ask, what should be our number one budget priority at all? does any agency deserve to be funded more than almost all the others for health care, housing and youth combined. >> excuse me, sorry. what do you say to your fellow democrats who say the slogan defunding the police gets in the way of the argument you're making? you have the chair of the congressional black caucus saying it is a distraction. >> yeah, well, you know, we can't necessarily -- you know, i don't think we can control what is happening right now in this moment. right? our job as elected officials is to listen. and we can't control what, you know, everyone is going out in the street and saying black lives matter and just a few years ago everyone said that black lives matter polled

poorly, that it was divisive, that it required too much explanation, but these are everyday people going out into their communities saying, this is what we want for ourselves and for our city council budgets, but, you know, what i do think is incredible and the incredible work of house leadership is that they have listened and introduced a sweeping bill in the justice and policing act. and what congress is trying to do is create a national registry of officers that have engaged in gross misconduct to make sure that they can't run away from accountability by hurting someone in one precinct leaving and then getting hired at another one. >> congresswoman, thanks very much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> robin. all right, george, thank you very much. and now the other major story this morning, the election chaos in georgia. investigations ordered this morning after a primary day that was hit with a series of problems that was fueled by the pandemic. polls had to be extended in an effort to allow everyone to vote.

steve osunsami is there in atlanta, and he'll tell us what went wrong. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. no question this was a disaster and a lot of anger this morning is being directed at the secretary of state. he's blaming the counties. the counties are blaming him. he's calling for an investigation into what the counties did wrong. there were long lines as late as midnight in both black and white neighborhoods, and while it is very easy for democratic lawmakers and other figures to say this was all about race and an intent to suppress the vote, that's not a fair telling of what happened in this particular vote. the coronavirus is more to blame. poll workers, many of them seniors who were afraid of getting sick, failed to show. polling precincts at churches, assisted living centers and senior centers had to be moved. both of those things happened because of the coronavirus and these happened, these things happened in blue counties run by democrats who were well aware of these issues before yesterday. fulton county admits that it

lost thousands of requests for absentee ballots. in a statement addressing this fulton county's director of elections said they've identified areas of improvement. they need to get this together, of course, before the election in november. george? >> less than five months away. we are following a lot of other stories this morning including our abc news exclusive with dr. anthony fauci. he will speak with robin live with the latest on the concerns over coronavirus spreading at the protests. then the major break in the case of the missing idaho siblings. their stepfather in custody but first let's go to ginger. violent potentially damaging winds could move through eastern michigan, torn through ohio, but all the way through western new york. more coming up. first the sunny cities brought to you by subaru.

"gone with the wind" has been temporarily pulled from hbo max

following calls for removal over the movie's racist depiction. hbo says it will return with a discussion of it. the mall of america is set to re-open with reduced hours and more frequent cleanings to continue efforts to spread the spread of covid-19, robin. >> and we'll talk more about that, george. we will continue with the coronavirus emergency. cases as we know turning globally, fast approaching 2 million here in the u.s. with the death toll now topping 112,000. infections are still on the rise in at least 21 states and hospitalizations increasing in eight states. now there's growing concern about nationwide protests as members of the d.c. national guard have tested positive for covid after last week's demonstrations. dr. anthony fauci calling the virus his worst nightmare and he joins us on "gma." we always appreciate you taking time to talk to our audience.

we really do appreciate that. you just heard me talk about how members of the d.c. national guard testing positive. sir, how concerned are you about it spreading due to the protests that we're seeing, even though we see many people at the protests that are wearing masks? >> yes, the most important thing, unfortunately, the report of the national guardsmen being infected is certainly disturbing but is not surprising. the issue of physical separation is important. masks can help, but it's masks plus physical separation and when you get congregations like we saw with the demonstrations as we have said, myself and other health officials, that's taking a risk and unfortunately, what we're seeing now is just an example of the kinds of things we were concerned about. so i wouldn't be surprised that members of the congregation that were there demonstrating could also be infected and many of them would then go back to where they were because not everyone was demonstrating in the city

where they live. they've come from the outside so it's the kind of things we were concerned about and unfortunately we're seeing it come true right now. >> yes, but people, they are very passionate about what they are fighting for and it's evident that they feel it's worth the possible risk. we see that states are opening. new york city opening this week as well. what is the concerns there as we are seeing, you know, it rise a little bit like that? what is most important for people, do you feel, for people, the public to know this morning, dr. fauci? >> well, what they need to know is that when you open, that doesn't mean that everything is okay and you just can just do whatever you want. you still have to practice a degree of caution and carefully go through the process of trying to normalize. that means you still should be wearing a mask. you still should be trying as best as possible to have that

physical distancing. you still need to wash your hands as often as you possibly can and avoid congregation in large numbers. these things, even though you're trying appropriately because we know everyone wants to approach normality and get things back to normal including the economy, but that doesn't mean that all bets are off. and that's the reason why we say be careful and do it prudently. >> and the vaccine, people want to know about the vaccine and you have said that you're very confident that -- we know it's being tested on people right now but you're confident there will be not just one but more than one. what leads you to be so optimistic about being -- having more than one vaccine available and when do you think it'll be available to the public? >> okay, so let me just clarify one thing. when you're developing vaccines, there's never a guarantee that you're going to have a safe and

effective vaccine. what i'm confident about is how well the process is proceeding in the development of more than one candidate that in early testing, both in the animals and phase one testing in humans, looks quite promising. it makes me cautiously optimistic. as we get into the early summer, we're going to go into advanced clinical trials in at least one and close to maybe three or more candidates. hopefully by the time we get to mid and late fall if the process goes well we will have enough information to be able to make a decision whether the vaccine is safe and effective which means if we are in good shape and that happens, we could have a vaccine either by the end of this calendar year or in the first few months of 2021. so that's the thing that makes me feel confident that the process is really on track and that's good news, again, in the

context of never being able to guarantee success. things are clearly going in the right direction. >> that's very promising, very promising indeed and once there is a vaccine, how often do you think we would need it? would it be like getting the flu shot every year? >> we don't know that right now. we'll take it one step at a time. the first thing we want to do is determine if it's safe and if it protects. how long that protection lasts, we're going to have to obviously observe that and that's the reason why when you make a vaccine it isn't the end of the game. you have to keep following and see how long the duration of the protection is. we hope it's substantial. but if it isn't you could always give a boost. right now step one let's just prove that it's safe and effective and go on from there. >> yes, that's an important step one.

i can understand that. also, let's talk about the range of symptoms and the severity, and the w.h.o. said something recently that suggested asymptomatic spread is rare and walked it back a little bit. can you clarify that for us? >> okay, so that's two questions. let me take the first one. clearly this is a very unusual infection. because as you pointed out correctly, the range of manifestations is extraordinary. you can have people who are infected and have no symptoms. you could have people who are infected and have mild symptoms that they barely notice. others have more severe symptoms. they become even more severe requiring them to be home a couple weeks. some require hospitalization and some require intensive care and as we know unfortunately over 110,000 have already died in this country so the range is extraordinary. to your question, about

asymptomatic transmission, what happened the other day is that a member of the w.h.o. was saying that transmission from an asymptomatic person to an uninfected person was very rare. they walked that back because there's no evidence to indicate that's the case. and, in fact, the evidence that we have, given the percentage of people which is about 25%, 45% of the totality of infected people, likely are without symptoms. and we know from epidemiological studies they can transmit to someone who is uninfected even when they're without symptoms, so to make a statement to say that's a rare event was not correct and that's the reason why the w.h.o. walked that back. >> and, dr. fauci, hearing all this, how does that -- people are wondering about schools re-opening in the fall. so what kind of impact will that have on the possibility of that happening?

>> well, you know, you've got to be careful because people talk about schools opening in the broad sense. we have a very large country and the dynamics of infection really differ from a region, state, city, town and even county so the school opening would really have to be dictated by the degree and the dynamics of infection in a particular community. there are going to be some communities in which the infection rate and dynamic is extremely low so schools can open with little risk. there may be other areas, depending upon the activity of the virus, where you might want to modify the school situation and there are a number of creative ways to do that that the authorities have figured out. you could stagger the classes and keep people separated. it really depends upon the status of the location in which you act. you don't want to make a uni-dimensional decision about the entire country. you have to look about where you are and what the dynamics of the

infection are. >> not one size fits all. dr. anthony fauci, we are so grateful, so grateful for your work and your willingness to continue to come on our program and to share. we really do. please take care. hope you and your family are doing well. >> my pleasure for being with you. thank you for having me. >> you got it. take care. amy. >> coming up next, major developments in the case of the missing idaho siblings. their stepfather arrested and authorities saying human remains found on his property. saying human remains found on his property.

back now with a major new development in the search for back now with a major new development in the search for those idaho siblings missing since last fall. their stepfather, chad daybell, has been arrested after officials found unidentified human remains on his property. deborah roberts joins us with the story. good morning, deb. >> reporter: good morning, george. investigators say it's too early to know if those remains are, in fact, the missing children of daybell's new wife, lori vallow. if indeed they are, it will turn the case upside down but in the meantime, he is being charged with concealing evidence. chad daybell behind bars, just like his wife lori vallow whose children tylee and j.j. have been missing for months. local idaho authorities along with the fbi searching daybell's idaho property tuesday saying they made a grim discovery. >> detectives and investigators

saying vallow became different after meeting daybell, an author of religious books who has spoken about what he says were two near-death experiences. >> ever since she's been involved in the doomsday cult that's not the same lori that we knew for 13 years and the last year has just been not understandable. >> reporter: months after vallow's arrest daybell telling abc news the kids are safe but not elaborating. >> is there anything that you would like to say to people at all who are, number one, concerned about the kids or concerned about you and your wife? anything at all you want to say to them? >> grateful for any support. we just have to wait for the legal process to work through. >> reporter: vallow was extradited back to idaho and is awaiting trial.

she has pleaded not guilty. daybell will be in court later today to face those charges and there could be more to come. vallow remains in jail on a $1 million bond. amy. >> all right, deb, thanks so much. coming up next here on "gma" our "play of the day." up next here on "gma" our "play of the day."

also the mayor says he will sign an executive order. he announced this, robin, during the funeral that he will sign an executive order banning chokeholds by the police and also saying that he will require that all police officers have to give a warning before they shoot and they are required now to de-escalate. so this is part of the evolution in trying to reform a police department. >> so, action we are seeing is taking place and people want to know going forward, going forward how to continue the momentum, t.j. >> and how do you do that, robin? how do you keep up that same energy, that same -- even anger, right? i'm here in front of the church. i assure you yesterday out in this yard there were signs, there were balloons out for george floyd. all that stuff is gone. you can't see it to my left here but there was a whole row of media that was here. all that is gone today.

so that's part of the question now, how do you keep up the momentum? yes, you have civil rights activists. you have attorneys that will continue the fight, and they have some plans for doing things in washington, but they need people to stay active. stay in the streets, to stay vocal to keep this thing going. so it's the day after now he's been buried. we see where we go from here, robin. >> yeah, and how are you doing, t.j.? you've been covering this. this has been a long two weeks for you. how are you? >> reporter: you know what, i am doing better than most, robin. every time i have a rough morning i have cried every single morning getting ready for this show for "good morning america" for the past two weeks. i kid you not, but every time i have a tough moment i remember i got it better than most and i got it better than the floyd family right now and we got to keep going and i thank you and i love you for the emails and you and several others have kept us all going, but we are here to do

a role, and we got it better than most, robin, and we got to keep that in mind. thank you, robin. i appreciate you as always. >> well, right back at you. all right, safe travels home, t.j. thank you and bless you. amy. >> thank you very much. as protests do continue across this country we turn now to the new comments dr. anthony fauci made in robin's exclusive interview earlier on "gma" about the potential spread of covid-19 at those protests. take a look. >> so i wouldn't be surprised that members of the congregation that were there demonstrating could also be infected and many of them would then go back to where they were because it was the kind of things we were concerned about and unfortunately we're seeing it come true right now. >> dr. jen ashton joins us now to weigh in. we just heard obviously people are going to still continue to feel the need to protest, to be out there in the streets closely with one another, a lot of them,

most are wearing masks from the photos we've seen, and yet i heard you say personally that masks alone are not enough to protect someone. >> right, amy, and you've heard me say that because i have been in constant communication with dr. fauci, and it really comes down to four factors. if you look at this list, it's about time in terms of your exposure. we think more than 15 minutes, it's about space, how far apart are you from people around you. six feet, better than one foot. how many people are in the area. how densely populated or crowded your environment is and the place, are you inside or outside. yes, we think outdoors is safer but these four factors really point to the increase risk. in terms of masks as dr. fauci said, they are not a license to get up close and personal. although we did get some recent information on june 1st from the lance et -- lancet, and they

looked at all other reviews on distance and masks and eye protection and even though they described it as low efficacy at this point because we need more research they found masks do help and n-95s in short supply better than surgical masks which are better than the single layer masks but all masks can be helpful to some extent. >> that information is certainly helpful indeed. dr. jen ashton, thank you as always. >> it always is. coming up former nfl star emmanuel acho joins us live. how he is opening up a new important dialogue in his new series, "uncomfortable conversations with a black man." why it's a good time to start a business. we have advice from entrepreneurs who are succeeding during the pandemic. mornings were made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis for whom methotrexate did not work well enough.

it can reduce pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. as have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. tell your doctor if you've been somewhere fungal infections are common, or if you've had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. don't let another morning go by without asking your doctor about xeljanz xr. without asking your doctor about ♪ ♪ don't feel like wearing pants? okay who drank all the milk? enjoy the great taste of dunkin' at home. there are people who say things aren't made here anymore.

how can i do better as a white man? >> you have to acknowledge that there is a problem. >> yes. >> so that you can take more ownership of the problem. if there are two people with equal resumes. studies show the person with the more white sounding man gets the call-back as somebody who has a black sounding name. you probably have several people under you. are you a part of that problem? are you looking at a resume saying, hey, they sound a little too hood for me? i think individually we must each fix the problem. i believe that individuals, they affect the houses, and the houses, they affect the cities and the cities, they affect the states and the nation affects -- >> yes. >> if we can get those handled through conversations like this and i hope you're having these, then we can be at a point to fix everything. i don't think there is such a thing as equality in america. the wake of slavery is still hitting african-americans. if you get on a boat, there is a wake that follows the boat, and although you may not still be

driving the boat, there are african-americans getting smacked by the wake left from slavery. poor school systems, voter suppression, there is a wake so that's why things aren't equal. only because there's still a wake. don't feel guilty. just acknowledge. >> i heard this term. white allergy. >> white allergy. >> white allergies that by where we were raised and how we were raised in our history, growing up, there's certain just imported obvious ways we're prejudiced in ways that we don't even understand. we got white allergies. may not even know it. >> the greatest white allergy that we say -- see played out, as black people practically, one of the best, back-handed compliment. get this one. you're so pretty for a black girl. so that's too imply that being black -- >> it's for the black girl, for the black man part that becomes the allergy you don't see.

you just gave me the backhanded indirect compliment. it was good with you're so pretty but you sound so smart. >> for this. the reason, mcconaughey, it is a white allergy is because white people don't recognize it. >> what can i do? what's my responsibility? >> people should take the responsibility proactively to say, you know what, maybe i'm a part of the problem. maybe i can fix this issue. not just by being not racist, but by being anti-racist. >> right. >> maybe i can level the playing field and make it a fair fight. >> and emmanuel acho is going to join us live right now. he has sparked quite a conversation. it is wonderful to see you, and i have to tell you i have had many conversations. white friends have reached out to me. we have had conversations. black colleagues are hearing from their friends as well.

millions, millions have viewed your videos. what do you think that means and what has the reaction been to those videos? >> well, firstly, thank you, robin. so gracious of you, and i'm glad that it sparked change. what it means is that hearts are open. minds are ready to turn, lives are ready to be changed. contrition is on the hearts of so many people and by people, again, i mean my white brothers and sisters. what it means is that although it's been far too long at least the time appears to be on the horizon where we can see true change and the barrier, the racial divide between black people and white people will no longer exist. at least it won't exist at the same potency in which it has existed before. so i am so overjoyed when i see the responses to this video, 22 million people saw the first video and rover -- over 2.5 million have already seen the second which debuted last night on my social media so, robin, i am thrilled, not at the publicity, but i'm thrilled because i'm truly seeing change in lives of america.

>> and emmanuel, this is george here. you use a provocative phrase here. more is caught than taught. what did you mean by that? >> someone sent me an email. maybe racism will die off with our ancestors. i said absolutely not. i said more is caught than is taught. what i mean is that it does not matter so much of what you hear someone say. what matters is what you see someone do, and so if you grow up in a household where racism exists, your parents can tell you, you need to love everybody. your parents can tell you, all men and women are created equal, but if they are racist, if you are hearing undertones of racism, that will be caught as children, and that will be delivered throughout generati s generations. so it won't -- racism won't die off with our fathers and our grandparents because more is caught than is taught so not only do you need to preach it, not only do you need to speak it, you got to live it out.

>> and emmanuel, you also talked about something important with matthew. you say you get this question a lot. what is the correct or better term to use, black or african-american? >> so, it's black as opposed to african-american when we're referring to black people because, remember, not all black people are african-americans. there are jamaicans, there are cubans in america. both of whom are black, but they're not all african-american. they're also several african-americans, several black people who don't refer to themselves as african-american because they don't identify with their african heritage. remember, black is just an adjective. closely identifying to one's skin color, like white. think about this and never said it before. the fact that so many of my white friends, brothers and sisters are hesitant about using the word "black," imagine what that means subconsciously about how we felt about black people over the course of our lives. imagine if we think that black is in some, way, shape or form a

derogatory term, imagine what that has told us. imagine what has exuded and permeated in the mind of our society over the course of years. >> such a change and evolution. i'm a little older than you are and when i was being brought up we were told african-americans showed more respect. you provide good explanation of why it's not sufficient. but where should we take the conversation next? >> it has to be taken into action. what i mean by that is it's not enough to now just allow certain racisms to exist. it's not enough to just listen. my goal was to start a dialogue so that my white brothers and sisters can listen, but now they need to speak because my white friends, they can infiltrate spaces that a black man like me never can. they will be in group message, family reunions and family picnics, they need to and my white friends need to speak out and call out these sort of racist ideologies because i'm

encouraged that our world will continue to co-exist but it starts with education and starts with exposure and continues as communication. >> yeah, just hearing you describe about using the terminology black, i got chills because i understood it on a completely different level. you talk about not just being not a racist but being anti-racist. what actions can we, should we be taking? >> so, when you say not racist that's simply to say i don't see the "n" word. i don't own slaves. that's not enough anymore. the actions you can take is when you're in your friends' circles and hear someone say he is not even black. or someone says, he doesn't talk like he's black, or my personal favorite, you're like an oreo. white on the inside and black on the outside. speak on that and call that out. that is now being anti-racist. it's not enough to personally not say the "n" word or not think bad things about black people but when you hear it, speak on it.

we need a society who the people who are unaffected care just as much about the injustice as the people that are affected. >> amen, emmanuel acho. thanks very much for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> let's go to ginger. and i've got to start you out. record high temperatures from anaheim at 103 to downtown los angeles, 98 and brush fires burning. the l.a. fire department doing an incredible job stopping the progress of this one you're seeing there. san diego tied at 93 yesterday. look what's going to happen today, 100, riverside. heat advisories all the way down to the coast and this looks more like september than june. you know what else looks more like september than june? this. woodland park, colorado, one spot that had up to 15 inches of snow. that's a lot. they haven't had in some parts of the highlands in colorado that much since good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist

hosting the new game show, "don't." adam scott is with us. good morning and thanks for being with us, adam. >> hi, guys. how are you? >> nice shirt selection. >> i was going to say you're joining us from your closet? >> thanks. thank you. you know, i'm in my closet. this is the only place in the house where i won't be waking a kid or a dog. so if either do wake up, it's on you. >> well, we'll take that fall for that one. >> okay, great. thank you. i appreciate that. >> we want to talk about the show in a minute, but first, i know you have been out there a couple of time marching in the black lives protest. what can you share about that? >> well, i mean, it's just an extraordinary time in our country, you know, and i guess -- i think, you know, we're all just hoping through this horrifying tragedy we can make some real progress and hopefully have real justice and, you know, being out there with everyone has been incredibly inspiring and incredibly solemn

and so, you know, i think that it's -- everyone is just doing what they can and that's the -- what we felt we could do is just to get out there. >> yeah. we're all in this together. >> yeah. >> all right. we have to say that we have loved you in so many things. "parks and recreation" among them. >> thanks. >> and back in april, the entire cast reunited. i love this for a special quarantine episode. but it was for a good cause. you raised money for feeding america. talk about what that was like putting that all together. >> it was pretty incredible. i mean, it was so much fun to get back together with everyone, sort of. i mean the only drawback we couldn't all be in a room together actually shooting the show but just getting a new "parks and rec" script was this surreal, really fun moment none

of us thought would ever happen, but yeah. it was really fun, and, you know, from the idea first happening, us getting that first email to it airing was only, what? three weeks or a month. so it was a really fast, really fun process with everybody. >> curious, if you had to pick one "parks" character to be quarantined with for these last few months, who would it be and why? >> i can't say anyone other than leslie no leslie knope, right? if i did, that would be sacrilege and we don't want ben and leslie getting a divorce. >> no, we don't. >> leslie, 100%. >> good answer. let's talk about "don't." describe the whole premise of this new game show. >> yeah, it's a really unusual game show. it's the object of the game is to refrain from doing things, for instance, like don't drink

is a game where we put someone on a treadmill under a heat lamp and give them increasingly spicy foods and if they don't drink the refreshing beverages we put in front of them they win money. so luckily i didn't have to do any of that but i just kind of stand there and watch. >> i know you teamed up with ryan reynolds who is the executive producer. what is it like having him as a boss? >> he's a great boss. he keeps everyone in line. he's actually really involved in the show. he's sort of the narrator of the show, of the game show with a narrator that's constantly interrupting us so it's usual unusual and really funny but, yeah, he's a terrific boss. >> i think you succeeded in not waking anybody up in your house hold this morning. >> oh, really? do you think so? i can find out. >> i can see you're being real careful. >> he'll confirm that in a moment. adam scott, thank you so much and "don't" premieres this thursday at 9:00, 8:00 central right here on abc.

>> basically i saved graham's life but he would claim he saved my life. my life was in danger. his was too and he ran away. he ran away from the danger. >> you went straight for that. >> i went for the jugular there. >> reporter: this new show giving sam and graham a different perspective of some of the locations where "outlander" takes place. >> with what you learned shooting this show, would you be able to go back and reshoot the scene at the differently? -- any differently? >> yeah, i mean, absolutely. you know, i think we both knew a lot about scottish culture but wanted to know more and learned things we didn't know before. iish -- i wish i could do this every day. it's so fun. >> the two of them together alone even without all the beauty of scotland would be enough but it's going to be so good.

we are back now with singer, musician and composer, the very talented jose feliciano. his music career spans over 50 years with over 60 albums and a lifetime achievement latin grammy award. he will perform a song off "behind this guitar" in a few moments. i know you've been keeping very busy during these times. you have a new album. an upcoming book. a documentary film after all these years. what's the mystery left that fans don't know about you yet? >> well, i think people don't know, for example, that i grew up with my black brothers and sisters, and i think the reason that i was attracted to them is cause we both loved music.

we would listen to the songs that were on the charts during that particular time and i have always tried to be counted because i do believe in the integration of the races. i think if we don't do it soon, our country is the loser because african-americans have this great genius. i mean, if you look at all of the great music that has been written, it's been by african-americans. and they certainly taught me how to sing and i'm grateful for that, and the only way that i can show my gratitude is to be

involved in this particular situation. >> well, jose, we are very much looking forward to your performance. so how about we get started? here is jose feliciano performing "i'm america" with the virginia union university choir and his sons, mikey and johnny feliciano. take it away. ♪ ♪ i'm the river i'm the rain ♪ the lonesome whistle of a train ♪ ♪ i'm the amber waves of grain ♪ i'm the highway i'm the farm ♪ the fertile fields and boulevards ♪ ♪ the hand that rests over your heart ♪ ♪ oh, oh, oh i'm the echo of the bell that's ringing ♪
