7:03 am
july 18th. right now that number is 121,000. >> connecticut governor ned lamont joins us live this morning. he's of course one of the three governors issuing that traveler advisory, asking anyone visiting the tristate area in states where cases are climbing to quarantine for 14 days. one of those states seeing the most dramatic rise is texas and that is where our chief national correspondent tom llamas is this morning. tom, good morning to you. you are in houston where the hospitals are now bracing for the worst. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning. the governor here in texas saying the state is facing a massive outbreak. right now we're in the city's medical center. this is the largest medical complex in the world and, again, they are battling covid-19. the children's hospital is across the street from where we are. they are now admitting adult patients as cases here are moving in the wrong direction. this morning, more evidence the spread of covid-19 is

7:05 am
violate quarantine. florida, one of those states, shattering another daily record with more than 5,500 new cases. and california hitting a new record in hospitalizations while los angeles county now leads the country with 88,000 people infected. >> we are seeing an increase in the total number of cases of people that are getting younger and younger. >> reporter: in texas, they also reported another record day of new cases. houston's mayor warning businesses to monitor their crowd flow. >> we are looking at creating what i would call a board of shame and identifying those businesses that are really working against the rules. >> reporter: and now doctors taking abc news inside various hospitals throughout houston. >> so it's going to be a busy day today. we've got some patients waiting to come into the icu. >> reporter: frontline workers
7:06 am
describing a new and different type of surge and though they feel more confident this time around, there are still moments that shock the soul. >> when they don't survive, you know, knowing that we did everything we possibly could to restore their -- okay, you are going to make me cry now. i have a hard time talking. this is the hardest part about the whole thing. i'm sorry. >> it's okay. >> reporter: doctors telling us they believe this new uptick is because people let their guard down. >> what keeps me up at night, community members that think this is something they can't do anything about but they can. if they wash their hands, if they wear their mask and keep a social distance from others they absolutely can play a role. >> are you guys going to wear a mask alone in the car? [ crowd chanting "no" ] >> reporter: in arizona, where they're seeing an increase in hospitalizations and deaths,
7:07 am
protests erupting over masks in scottsdale. councilman guy phillips appearing to mock the final words of george floyd and eric garner at this anti-mask rally. >> i can't breathe. i can't breathe. >> reporter: now, that scottsdale councilman who you heard from there first said there was no connection, that it was hot and stuffy, but later, according to the arizona republic, he apologized saying he wasn't trying to make light of what happened. >> tom llamas, thanks very much. we're joined by governor ned lamont of connecticut. thank you for joining us this morning. you signed the order last night -- >> good morning, george. >> -- asking visitors from hard hit states to quarantine. just explain to everybody why you decided to take this step
7:08 am
and how it's going to work. >> so back when the new york metro area including connecticut had a high infection rate there were some quarantines in places like florida and today they have a much higher, ten times higher infection rate than we do here and as you know, george, the virus often travels by airplane and arrives and then it spreads so we thought one of the best things we could do is see if we could prevent that from happening in our region. >> new york is imposing fines on people who violate the order. why isn't connecticut taking that step? >> what we're going to do is go to every travel agent and say from these regions don't come to connecticut unless you get tested first or know you have to quarantine. we're going to go to all the hotels, every single site there, let people know from those states you have to quarantine if you come to connecticut. >> but this is voluntary. it's not -- you're not going to enforce it with fines or any other kinds of penalties? >> yeah, george, not yet. we haven't had to. i mean the people of connecticut have been wearing the masks. there's no fines for not doing that. they've been protecting the protocols of the restaurants
7:09 am
without fines so i'd like to think we'll be able to self-police. but if we can't we'll ramp it up. >> governor cuomo's team said new yorkers should essentially follow the see something say something rule. if they see a possible violation say a neighbor comes in from out of state they should report it to the health department. do you can't connecticut citizens to do the same thing? >> we have been doing that. especially for our safe store, safe restaurant, if they're not follow protocols dial 211 and we send a public health official out to tell people these are what the rules are. that could be the same for people traveling here from other states. >> connecticut was hit so hard at the beginning, as you know better than anyone but now you have one of the lowest reproduction rates for the virus in the country. how are things going with re-opening? >> right now we've got, george, about 95% of our economy open. that's good. i think people are more or less following the protocols pretty strictly.
7:10 am
that's very good. we know we're not an island and our region is not an island and that's why we're doing what we can to protect ourself from incoming viruses from highly infected areas. >> are you worried about back sliding? >> oh, we're always worried about that, aren't we? i look around the rest of the country. i think a lot of it is related to those bars being open, people not wearing the masks. i think that's what is the big driver and so far we're doing pretty well here but let's face it, we have cabin fever. it's getting warmer out there. i'm worried. >> all of us in new york and new jersey and connecticut who were hit so hard so early by this are watching the rest of the country now and wondering what message they took from our experience and what they're going through right now. what is your message to the rest of the country right now? >> i talked to some of the southern governors and i asked what is going on and first they said it's more testing. i said, no, hospitalizations are up. they said probably in connecticut everybody knows somebody not just that lost a
7:11 am
job but also know somebody that lost their life. maybe that's not true in some of these other states so we are much more likely to take this seriously around here and hope that message translates now around the rest of the country. >> governor ned lamont, thanks for your time. michael. >> thank you, george. now to the new victims of coronavirus, fema reporting that in at least four states the majority of their covid-19 patients are between 20 to 30 years old. victor oquendo joins us with more from one of those states, florida. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. more and more young people are testing positive. that's what the data shows and what hospitals are telling us as the surge in cases in florida continues. so has the demand for testing. this is the beginning of the line outside hard rock stadium. if you look from above you get a better idea of what's happening here. people started lining up around 4:30 this morning, although it doesn't open up until 9:00 a.m. now the line stretches for miles. this morning, a warning about
7:12 am
covid-19 and young people. >> really rapid transmission in that 18 to 34 age group. >> reporter: carsyn davis seen in this selfie shared by her facebook, turned 17 and her sister writing her poor body didn't have fight left and died from complications of the virus. doctors say the rise in younger patients is concerning, so are bars. >> my biggest concern is that these young people will go home and transmit it either to their parents or their grandparents. >> reporter: a recent outbreak now linked to a bar in east lansing, michigan. 34 cases, all between the ages of 18 and 23. workers are getting sick too like stephany florez, a 27-year-old who returned to work at a bar in los angeles and despite her asthma, she didn't wear a mask. >> i was like this is annoying then i take it off. >> reporter: one of the biggest
7:13 am
concerns how it can spread through families. in north texas ron's parents are in critical condition after attending a surprise birthday party where 18 family members tested positive when one relative, unknowingly infected, interacted with seven family members who contracted the virus and spread it to ten more. >> my dad is hanging on by a thread. and my mom is struggling. >> reporter: in harris nearly 45% of patients are hispanic or black. >> i thought i was invisible. >> reporter: jimmy flores just released from the hospital monday. >> i had a fever for almost 14 days and i couldn't breathe. >> reporter: the florida department of emergency management now urging people who come out here to this testing site to make sure they have a full tank of gas because of the long wait and this is not just happening here in south florida. in central florida near orlando,
7:14 am
people were lining up sometimes this week around 2:30 in the morning. this site is scheduled to stay open till 5:00 p.m. yesterday they were so busy they ran out of swabs and antibody tests around noon. cecilia. >> okay. thank you. as virus numbers rise so do concerns for the economy. the surge in cases sending the stock market tumbling, so let's bring in our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis with more. rebecca, all of this, of course, ahead of new unemployment numbers this morning. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. nearly 1.5 million americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week and that means in just the last 14 weeks more than 47 million layoffs have happened across this country, and a big concern for wall street is how those people get back to work in an environment where covid cases are now rising as these re-openings happen in states like texas, florida and california, some of the biggest state economies in the country. now local businesses are faced with the question to re-open or not to re-open and some are
7:15 am
actually making delays to those choices. for example, disney, the parent company of abc news, deciding not to do the phased re-opening beginning july 17 at disneyland because california will not be submitting those guidelines and that guidance until after the july 4 holiday. george? >> rebecca, thanks very much. we move to the race for the white house and new signs president trump is now the underdog. a new poll shows joe biden with a 14-point lead as growing majorities of americans disapprove of how trump is handling the pandemic and black lives matter protests. mary bruce is at the white house with the story. mary, the president heading to wisconsin today, a key battleground state where he's fallen behind. >> reporter: the president now losing significant ground in these battleground states that delivered him the white house. he heads to wisconsin today, down 11 points there according to this new "the new york times" poll out this morning. he's also down double digits in states like michigan and pennsylvania, states where the
7:16 am
president's strength was white working class voters, those key voters, now appears to be vanishing. these numbers show the president's handling of the pandemic and this national reckoning on racism is taking a toll. the president is now more vulnerable than ever, that poll showing joe biden with a 14-point lead nationally, 50-36%. but, george, democrats are actually concerned that these numbers may be a little too good, that voters may become complacent. they are warning joe biden's supporters not to get too comfortable. >> still more than four months to go. mary, there was a new twist yesterday in the michael flynn case. >> reporter: yeah, george, a big victory for michael flynn and more president trump. a federal appeals court ordered a judge to comply with the justice department's request to drop this case, even though michael flynn, the president's first national security adviser pleading guilty to lying to federal investigators. the president has said that michael flynn was treated unfairly all along and calling this an exoneration.
7:17 am
it's another example of how politicized it's become. >> mary, thanks very much. michael. we go to some incredible news from nasa. the headquarters in washington, d.c. will be named after mary w. jackson, the first black female engineer at nasa in 1958. jackson was portrayed by actress janelle monae in the movie "hidden figures" and nasa administer jim bridenstine said mary never accepted the status quo. she helped break barriers and open opportunities for african-americans and women in the field of engineering and technology, hidden no more. great news out of nasa. >> that is terrific news. thank you, michael. following a lot of other news including the death of a 23-year-old black man in police custody in colorado getting a second look. millions have signed an online petition calling for an independent investigation. elijah mcclain's family is speaking out. we are live at the eiffel tower opening for the first time
7:18 am
since shutting down because of the coronavirus. but the big question is will american tourists be allowed to visit is the big question. sfirs first let's go to ginger. >> several small tornados from southern louisiana through mississippi. the video you see here is the damage from an ef-1 tornado, winds up to 110 miles per hour. those severe reports went to the canadian border but there in kansas, tennis ball sized hail reported. today it is the nebraska panhandle up through north dakota, western minnesota and michigan, detroit, chicago back through iowa, that's tomorrow and the northeast gets it, pittsburgh included all the way to new york city, parts of new jersey too by saturday. your local weather in 30 seconds. first the stormy cities is sponsored by capital one.

>> we have a lot of headlines we're following, the coronavirus emergency. more than 34,000 cases reported across the country in the last 24 hours. cases are now rising in at least 27 states. florida, texas, oklahoma and south carolina hit new single day records. houston hospitals are running out of beds. overnight the governors of new york, new jersey and connecticut cracked down on travel from the hardest hit states asking visitors to quarantine for 14 days. also right now, over 49 million americans are at risk for a new severe weather threat moving through the midwest and heading for the northeast and in the south, severe damage after four tornadoes at least reported in baton rouge. winds blowing up to 110 miles an hour. take a look at this. a plane in california caught on camera. just bouncing around on the runway while attempting to land and crashing in a nearby field. there he goes into the field. the pilot was trapped in the cockpit. >> scary. >> he actually suffered only
7:32 am
minor injuries, thank goodness for that. >> thank goodness is right. we begin with new details now in the death of ahmaud arbery, the young man who was killed while out jogging in georgia. three men have been arrested, indicted on felony murder charges in the shooting. at least four months to the day he was killed and calls are growing for a new investigation into the death of elijah mcclain, 23-year-old black man who died after an encounter with police in colorado last year. an online petition is bringing new attention to the case after no one was charged. t.j. holmes is here with more. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning. there's video of a black man being restrained on the ground by police complaining he can't breathe, and he ends up dead. take george floyd's name out of that scenario and apply elijah mcclain's. this happened to him nearly a year ago in a case that is now getting intense new attention. a plea for justice from the family of elijah mcclain. >> for them to kill him because he was that bright and shiny,
7:33 am
that different, hurts. >> reporter: more than 2 million people have signed a petition demanding an investigation into the 23-year-old's death. his mother speaking to "gma" overnight. >> we can blame somebody else. we can blame ourselves, but elijah is who we were all -- we're all trying to get to be. >> reporter: mcclain died after being in police custody nearly a year ago. his case now re-examined in the wake of other high-profile police killings. >> the fact that it has taken the death of a man across the country to finally cause coloradans to stand up and look into a death caused by its own officers in august is atrocious. >> reporter: mcclain was walking home after buying iced tea from a corner store when this call about a suspicious person was made to the aurora pd in colorado.
7:34 am
>> he put his hands up. i don't know, he looks sketchy. >> reporter: three officers responded to the call. mcclain is seen walking on the sidewalk when officers approach him. >> stop. stop. >> reporter: one officer is heard telling mcclain to stop. things escalated when he allegedly attempted to grab an officer's gun. the officers subdue him to the ground and place him in a carotid control hold. he begs for relief, even uttering those eerily two familiar words. >> can't breathe. >> reporter: first responders arrive and administer ketamine, an anesthetic meant to rapidly tranquilize. >> it's standard protocol for the paramedics to inject ketamine. >> reporter: mcclain went into cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital where he stayed five days before ultimately being taken off life support. a coroner determined his cause of death undetermined. >> a young man, a young african-american man should be allowed to walk home wearing a mask waving his arms to music, but that absolutely should not be a death sentence. >> reporter: the district attorney is open to taking another look at the case but
7:35 am
says it's going to take more than a petition. >> you know, if there is something out there that we missed, i will certainly take a look at it. but it's got to be something that's relevant to the investigation. the passion that's going on with this case and the petition that's out there is not something i can base my decision on. >> reporter: the governor says he'll have his office look into this. stra, this is worth noting. you'll all remember at the beginning of the pandemic when we were being encouraged to wear masks there were black men who said they were fearful of doing so because of fear of suspicion. elijah was wearing a ski mask. he has anemia and it's a condition that sometimes causes him to be cold. i hate to even explain that as if i have to explain his behavior. he was walking down the street doing nothing wrong that night. a 911 call came in about him being sketchy. >> there's a video from april that was just released of a man
7:36 am
dying in police custody in arizona. >> this is getting new attention as well. the police chief out there offered his resignation but a 911 call about carlos ingram lopez. officers showed up. three of them showed up. they have resigned. they did not follow present cole. they're calling it a horrible death and the police chief offered his resignation but he died after being restrained on the ground for 12 minutes pleading and begging for some help and, yes, in fact, he was saying he could not breathe. stra. >> having this conversation too much, t.j. thank you. george. >> we sure are. we move on to an abc news exclusive on the predator drone program that has been used to track crowds of protesters in minneapolis. gio benitez has a closer look at the surveillance technology sparking new privacy concerns. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning to you. we got rare access to that predator drone and the people who operate it. house democrats have launched an investigation to find out why the drone was flying over protesters but officials tell us they may do it again. this morning abc news taking you to grand forks air force base in
7:37 am
north dakota, home of the predator drone. last month customs and border protection flew this unmanned aircraft over protesters in minneapolis at the request of homeland security. >> not an unusual request at all. just another airplane with a camera that can provide surveillance like a number of others. >> reporter: jonathan and david run the program for cbp and say their helicopter was down for maintenance so they launched the drone. while it usually patrols the border they say this operation was intended to help police monitor crowd movement but it immediately sparked concerns over civil liberties. >> can this spy on me? >> it's able to take aerial photos. it's able to take aerial videos. but it doesn't have the ability -- we're not part of the intelligence community. we don't do spy missions or intelligence collection missions like that.
7:38 am
we can't see individual faces but can make out individuals and do know if it's 13 people, 25 people. >> can this carry weapons? >> no, it cannot carry weapons. it does resemble the air force system that is weaponized but our system is not even capable of carrying weapons. >> can you understand why people would have been concerned when they heard that the predator was flying over them? >> sure, and that's one of the reasons where we're incredibly glad you're able to come out so we can explain the capabilities. >> reporter: despite the congressional inquiry, miller and fulcher say it may fly over protesters again. >> it's a highly desirable thing as far as the surveillance that it can provide. >> is there anything you regret about the way the minneapolis operation went? >> i regret that the people that were making the accusations or thought we were spying didn't know the capabilities of this aircraft. >> reporter: and we've also learned that cbp used the
7:39 am
predator drone over another protest in del rio, texas, with helicopters and other planes and monitored 15 protests across america. guys. >> wow. >> yeah. all right. thanks, gio. coming up with brand-new cdc guidelines what going to a nail salon could look like. what to know before you go. next, we are live at the eiffel tower, finally opening this morning after covid closed it down. the big question, will americans be able to visit that parisian icon? question, will americans be able to visit that parisian icon? ., the big questil americans be able to visit that parisian icon? , the big questio americans be able to visit that parisian icon? the big question americans be able to visit that parisian icon? the big question,s be able to visit that parisian icon? dress your nest from sherwin-williams.

morning in paris and now we can report that fashion will return to the catwalks of paris this fall. the french fashion authority confirming fashion week will go on as scheduled in person, not virtually from september 28th through october 6th. no word yet on what specific health guidelines will be enforced during the week long event but organizers say they will comply with recommendations of the authorities. "vogue" suggesting designers may want to look for larger or outdoor venues, i think that's a great idea. a few brands like dior and burberry will test the waters by broadcasting live events with models, but without audiences. it will be interesting to see if any of these collections will be influenced by stay-at-home style. i know loungewear always in fashion around this house. i'm sure you guys would agree. there's a lot we could do with some fab pajamas. also popping this morning, martha knows best. we have seen it time and time again. martha stewart's instagram has

8:31 am
we took an rv from the -- basically the east coast to the west coast over eight days. >> eight days. >> that's a rush trip. >> yes. >> how did it go? >> we finally learned how to use it by the time we got to california. >> always takes a while to figure that out, will, we know you've got three sons. how are you and your wife going to keep them occupied this summer? >> well, i think that's the big question so many families are facing. you know, with that much male energy in the house, i think what i'm going to do is just build like a steel cage in our living room and train them to be mma fighters. and just use all that excess male energy to their advantage, that and they have to take out the trash. so those are the main two focuses. >> two big goals. that is some excellent quarantine hair you have there.
8:32 am
>> thank you. yes. >> it's truly working? >> this is not a wig. this is all me. >> you usually go to sweden in the summers, i'm told. that's where you got hooked on eurovision. what is it about eurovision. >> you know, it is unlike anything you've ever seen. it's this -- obviously it's a music competition that's 42 countries and viewed by 200 million people and it is this amazing spectacle that ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime and my wife's family, when i, you know, was visiting them they sat me down in front of the tv and were like, we're going to watch eurovision and i'm like, what is going on? this is the craziest thing i've ever seen. it's kind of like "american idol" meets cirque du soleil meet, i don't know, a vegas residency show but it's kind of this amazing thick
8:33 am
would make a great movie. >> you're lars and sigrit in fire saga and both have pretty good accents in this movie so how did you work on these acc t accents to get them where they were? >> i mean i just -- i listened to a lot of bjork. sweet sounding voice and so i know everything about her now and had an amazing dialect coach named samarra bay and we just kind of dug in on that then we had incredible icelandic actors in the show so i sort of, you know, inserted myself into listening to them all the time and, yeah, just, you know, tried to -- then we went to iceland so that helped too. >> i had the advantage of, you
8:34 am
know, being around my wife's swedish family for 20 years now so i'm kind of -- i'm kind of copying some of my wife's cousins to be honest. >> let's give everybody a look at the clip. >> i -- no. >> no? >> no. >> what? >> yeah. why? >> we can't. we have to think about the music. >> oh, yes. but we could make music and love. >> no, we can't. >> really? >> no. romance, it ruins it. think about it. fleetword mac, right. abba, post malone. >> we're sitting here laughing but, rachel, what was it like working with will on this movie?
8:35 am
>> oh, it was a challenge. >> it's okay. say whatever you have to say. >> no, i mean i'm such a huge fan of his and, you know, i just think he's the funniest man on the planet and he is as nice as he is funny so we had a really great time together and, you know, we had worked on the same film together in "wedding crashers" but we never had done any scenes together so i had always hoped that the stars would align and somehow i would get to actually talk to him in a movie. so, yeah, this was really a dream come true for me and little known fact he has the nicest nails, nail beds of any man i've ever seen.
8:36 am
>> let's see those nail beds, will. >> wow, sharp. >> see how white. how white the tips >> i have no idea. >> who knew? rachel was telling us, will, in addition to complimenting you on your nailbeds, you are a complete prankster and got her really good. what did you do on set one day? >> well, it's so funny because i actually don't ever do pranks on movie sets and this is the one time -- >> lucky me. >> i tried to follow through on sweet rachel. we were filming in scotland on a street corner one evening and we looked up and about this third story window this woman in dark sunglasses with this -- standing very still was just staring down at us and i said, rachel, don't look now but that's the ghost of, you know, main street here and it freaked rachel out so
8:37 am
much that i then had my makeup artist dress exactly like that woman a few days later at another location and had her stand about 100 yards away and rachel kind of noticed and we were all pretending, i don't know what you're talking about and it really freaked her out to the point i confessed immediately on the spot so even though i tried to pull the prank i still couldn't hang in there with it. >> no, he was a bit worried about my mental health. >> yes, yes. >> like as soon as i was like, oh, my god, will, do you see the woman? she's over there. no, no, no. it's fine, i -- it's autumn. >> it's autumn. it's me. i did it. it's okay. >> you know what, we appreciate the laugh. we can always use that and congratulations on the movie. good luck to both of you. thank you both for joining us. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for having us.

8:42 am
la lara, turns out. >> the picture i sent is humorous of his son. all right. let's also talk about "black monday" because you and tuck are starring in it together. it's a familiar concept, i dare say. you play boyfriends on the show as well. how is that working together, living together, the whole shebang? >> it's been great. we actually -- we met doing "boys in the band" on broadway and last summer the film version of it for netflix and then this role came up in "black monday" and one of the producers from "black monday" was like, i worked with this guy tuck watkins on a show many years ago. what do you think about him? i just tried to be as cool as possible. i just worked with him actually on "boys in the band" and he was great and just sort of let that be. well, they were like, we hired tuck. i was like, great, that's my boyfriend. i wanted to let it play out as it was going to play out and
8:43 am
knew that it was going to work out but some people were a little surprised i withheld that information until the last moment. but, you know. what can you do, lara. >> it was kismet and you have great chemistry. we want to show everybody a clip. in this scene on "black monday" you guys are golfing. take a look. >> i don't get it. so golf is actually a good thing? >> yeah. there she is. just act like you know what you're doing. mother. >> mother? >> you made it. my goodness. what a pleasant exactly what i was expecting quirky -- >> hey, it's a pleasure to meet you. >> charmed, i'm sure. >> well -- >> are you enjoying the course? >> oh, it's the greatest game of my life. very subpar. >> oh, that is so awkward. i love this scene. i love this show.
8:44 am
how is your golf game? >> well, the good news is i've never golfed and then i didn't have to learn for the show because i was supposed to be bad at it so i was like, i can do that. i can be a bad golfer and that's the amazing june diane that plays his mother. so hilarious. we're coming back sunday for the final part of our season and got a little interrupted in the middle and aired the first six and had to take a pause for post-production work but we are back on sunday nights and we'll air our final four episodes so i'm excited to see how they turn out. >> yeah, we're so excited too. i'm going to plug it again.

8:49 am
how did you turn a dream into reality? >> well, to be honest we had very little expectations for what this was. we just knew we wanted to be our own bosses, create something we couldn't get fired from, so we started doing podcasts for free for about two years and i blackmailed some celebrity friends to come on and be our first guests and the rest is kind of history. >> what started off as just the three of us talking about our lives has transformed into this incredible community of women all over the world. >> it really has and, jac, we wanted to ask, in the new book you shared deeply personal stories for the first time. what do you think might surprise people about it? >> well, you know, in our podcast we really go there and talk about pretty much everything except for the three of us have always been a little bit scared to get vulnerable on the podcast, so the book was kind of our place for us to, you know, show those parts of our
8:50 am
heart. >> yeah, i think there's there this chapter that is so amazing, becca had lost someone really important to her and wrote in essay about going to therapy after and her struggle with mental wellness and i think that someone like her who is so beautiful and talented, if she's struggling and going to therapy it makes everyone -- makes me feel better about going to therapy and makes all the women in the world feel better about their own struggles so it was really beautiful. >> being open like that has helped you create such a huge fan base. we have a few questions from some of your loyal fans, so let's take a look. >> hi, "ladygang," i'm jordan. i'm wondering because i just graduated from college how i can get people to take me seriously even though i'm so young. i love you, ladies. >> well, first of all, congrats, girl. entering the real world is like the most overwhelming feeling in the entire world, so i think my advice to you would be keep
