one in four right here in the united states, and the world health organization now warning the worst is yet to come. >> the cdc also with a stark reality check saying there's way too much virus as hospital admissions increase in at least 23 states across the country. we begin our coverage with marcus moore in houston. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: michael, good morning. some hospitals in texas are at or near capacity as they treat more and more covid-19 patients. across the globe health experts say there's every indication this situation is far from over. this morning a startling new warning from the world health organization. >> the hard reality is this is not even close to being over. the worst is yet to come. >> reporter: and a reality check from the cdc. >> i think there was a lot of wishful thinking around the country that, hey, summer everything is going to be fine.

we have way too much virus across the country for that right now so it's very discouraging. >> reporter: as cases of the coronavirus near 2.6 million in the u.s., 32 states are now reporting increases. 23 have seen hospitalizations go up. in california, los angeles county becoming the first in the country with more than 100,000 confirmed cases. health officials blaming businesses and individuals for not following the rules. now mayor eric garcetti says 1 in 140 current residents is infectious. >> we've kind of begun to assume everybody around us isn't infectious. covid-19 is taking control and we need to take control back. so to young people, you are not immune. >> reporter: now beaches closed there for the fourth of ju cials fearinsces like these at delaware's rehoboth beach on saturday. now three life guards have tested positive for covid-19. while in texas, hospitals are nearing the brink. first responders working around the clock.

in houston, the fire chief says they're now getting 1,100 calls per shift. paramedics suiting up in ppe treating every call as a possible covid case. >> in the last couple of days we've doubled and tripled. >> reporter: while in arizona hospitals are reaching capacity and the death toll climbing. abc news obtaining this graph from fema showing the average daily mortality rate rising. now a major reversal. the governor shutting down bars, gyms and movie theaters. >> the virus is not going away at this point in time. >> reporter: the governor of new york signaling he may pump the brakes on the next phase of re-opening, indoor dining, after seeing what's happening in other states. >> our re-openings have worked very well. we're not going backwards. we're going forwards. it is time to wake up, america. the white house has been in denial on coronavirus from the get-go and the federal response has just been wrong. that's not a political statement if you look at the facts.

>> reporter: in florida where this testing site at tropicana field had to close an hour after opening because of demand, the state's positive test rate increasing to 13.5%. now jacksonville, the site of the gop convention in august, mandating masks in public places along with miami beach. back here in houston, the mayor unveiled his so-called wall of shame, calling out businesses that are not following the covid protocols as they try to stop the uncontrolled spread of this virus here in the country's fourth largest city. george? >> marcus moore, thanks very much. we are joined by the mayor of miami, francis suarez. mayor, thank you for joining us. your city has seen such a spike in cases over the last couple of weeks. it's now the hardest hit part of florida. is the surge too strong to control? >> we're doing everything we can, george, to control it. you know, our hospitals, they're starting to get stressed in terms of the number of people that are hospitalized. we just implemented last week a

mask in public rule. we also passed fines associated with the mask in public rule and then yesterday i just announced for businesses that are not following the protocol and the rules that they're going to be shut down for ten days for the first occurrence, 15 days the second occurrence, and 30 days a third occurrence to penalize businesses that are not following the rules. so we're doing everything we can in miami to make sure that we can stop this spread. we had 6,900 new cases last week. two days we had 1,500 new cases in one day which was three times the high water mark of april and then 2,100 cases later that week. we're doing everything we can to reverse the trend. >> did you re-open too quickly? how do you explain so many people in your city flouting the rules? >> you know, the city of miami was actually the last city in the entire state of florida to open. i got criticized at the time for taking too long, some said.

i think what happened was the minute we opened it was like it never had -- it was like covid didn't exist and people just forgot and in some cases are still forgetting. you know, they're upset that i've implemented a mask in public rule. they're upset that we're implementing some of these rules but we're trying to do that in a surgical way so that we don't have to undo some of the openings that we've done and we're doing it also so that we don't have to re-implement a stay-at-home order which was extremely effective in late march and early april but also crippled our economy in ways that only a stay-at-home order can do. so we're trying to balance not going backwards with understanding that this disease is incredibly efficient at spreading. >> if you're going to avoid a stay-at-home order do you need masks mandatory for the entire state, not just the city of miami? >> listen, if the governor asks me for my opinion, i would urge that.

i don't see the difference in telling people that you should wear a mask from mandating it. to me it's no different than telling people they have to wear a seat belt. if you get in a car accident, it's not a guarantee you'll make it out alive but a seat belt increases your chances tremendously of getting out alive. so for me wearing a mask in public is no different. it doesn't guarantee you're not going to get covid, but it increases your chances tremendously. so for me, as mayor of a city that's dealing with this crisis, it's a no-brainer and i would hope that eventually it becomes a no-brainer in the state. >> you've got a july 4th weekend coming up. a lot of people are going to want to be out partying. >> yeah, no doubt about it and so, you know, we decided to close our beaches here in dade county. and we think that's the prudent decision because even though it is summer and maybe there are some claims that the virus doesn't spread as quickly in heat, we haven't seen any evidence of that. in fact, quite the contrary.

people are congregating and having a good time, they're partying and spreading the disease incredibly efficiently and it's starting to stress our hospital system. >> mayor, thanks for your time this morning. i know you had covid earlier during the crisis. i hope you're feeling better now. >> i am. thanks, george. >> great, take care. robin? george, now to the front lines of the covid-19 crisis, some hospitals as we know are on the brink. health care workers are being pushed to their limits. kaylee hartung has more from arizona where cases are surging there. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: good morning, robin. cases and hospitalizations really exploded here in the past month and paramedics, they are among those who are overworked. doctors are telling me sometimes they're leaving their hospitals in tears because the emotional toll of this is exhausting. dr. jennifer o'hea is suiting up to save lives in one of the busiest intensive care units in the country. >> i will be in a patient's room in full ppe doing an intubation and i am constantly getting calls about someone else who is

in trouble. >> reporter: she's worked here at banner university medical center in phoenix for more than 20 years and has never seen the icu like this. >> that human factor that we love so much about our jobs is merely gone. >> reporter: in arizona icu beds are at 88% capacity. hospitalizations have nearly doubled in the past two weeks. tucson doctor, brad dreyfuss, believes the crisis this state's facing could have been prevented. >> when you see someone not wearing a mask, when you see people not physically distancing, how does that make you feel? >> frankly, it makes us angry. this is not a partisan issue. do it for your community. >> reporter: hospitals here say they are saying 20, 30, 40-year-old patients getting sick. people with no prior medical problems, they're the ones on ventilators. one doctor telling me she's had patients beg her not to put them on those breathing machines

because at that point they're afraid that they won't make it. michael? >> a lot of fear out there. kaylee, thank you so much. joining us now is abc news contributor tom bossert, former white house homeland security adviser. tom, thank you for joining us this morning. i just want to start by asking you, what are you seeing as cases surge around the country? >> good morning, michael. it's been a while since i've come out and commented on this and i think what i'm seeing is troubling because it looks now in the south like it looked in the northeast in february. and what does that mean? that means in february then we were trying to convince people without evidence that there was disease among them. now we have the evidence in all of the states that we've seen on your graphs this morning, and yet people still are not listening or heeding the advice and our public health officials have adopted different standards. and so, remember what february led to, michael, it led to march and that was a terrible exponential growth in this disease.

>> that was an awful growth in it, tom. where do you see things heading over the next couple of months, and how high could the death toll rise? >> yes, so you know we had this experience -- remember, way back in the beginning of this. we had the "diamond princess" cruise ship and saw what this disease would do. i have a public health official who advises me all the time who says we know the microbiology and know the math from this experience. we just don't know what people are going to do. and so, if we don't change the behaviors that we're covering and seeing, we could see a death toll of 500,000, not the 120,000 where we are today. so it was a staggering exponential growth curve in march and into early april in new york. but new york state, the city and the entire state is 20 million we're now talking about states showing this trend, alarming trend of growth, totaling almost 150 million people in the country. and so when people say in this community that the worst is yet to come, they are not any longer

making a prediction. they're making a guarantee. remember that once a community sees 1% spread, in any community, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to slow the spread of the virus with these changes in behavior and human interventions. and so we can't look at where the numbers are today. we have to speculate where they will be in two, three or four weeks based on how much of this disease we're detecting, and we're detecting it at levels that almost ensure some large exponential growth curve numbers in at least two or three states. >> when you hear the worst is yet to come, that is a scary statement to hear. tom bossert, thank you so much. we appreciate your time this morning. george? >> okay, michael, thanks. we go to the white house where president trump is under fire over intelligence indicating that russia paid bounties for the killing of u.s. troops. new reports overnight say the white house was aware of the intelligence in 2019 and in the president's daily brief this february as the families of killed americans express outrage and members of congress from both parties demand answers.

mary bruce is at the white house with the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. there are new questions here about who knew what and when. overnight this new report suggesting that the white house knew that russia was offering bounties for the lives of u.s. forces a full year earlier than was previously reported. the president, though, insists he was never briefed and the white house now is giving no indication that he plans to be. this morning, the associated press reports top white house officials were aware early last year of intelligence indicating russia was secretly offering bounties to the taliban for the deaths of americans. "the new york times" reporting it was included in the president's daily briefing on february 27th and was published in a classified cia document for the intelligence community may 4th. that contradicts what the white house is saying. >> you say that he wasn't briefed. does that mean it wasn't in the pdb either? >> he was not personally briefed on the matter. that's all i can share with you today.

>> reporter: reporters asking, why not? >> there was not a consensus among the intelligence community. in fact, there were dissenting opinions within the intelligence community and it would not be elevated to the president until it was verified. >> unverified intelligence gets put in front of presidents all the time. it's the nature of intelligence. there's always going to be uncertainty. doesn't mean it's not important and doesn't mean it shouldn't be seen by the president. >> reporter: overnight the director of national intelligence says the white house is still investigating this intelligence and slammed the leaks that led to these reports, saying unauthorized disclosures now jeopardize our ability to ever find out the full story, bullet he did not mention russia. but he did not mention russia. the timing of the intelligence is now raising questions about the loss of potential american life. the ap reports military officials are investigating whether a car bombing that killed three marines in april 2019 was connected to these alleged bounties. the father of one of those marines saying if this was kind of swept under the carpet as to not make it a bigger issue with

russia and one ounce of blood was spilled when they knew this, i lost all respect for this administration. democrats are now demanding all of congress be briefed. >> you would think that the minute the president heard of it he would want to know more instead of denying that he knew anything. >> reporter: republicans have questions too. >> who knew what, when, and did the commander in chief know, and, if not, how the hell not? >> reporter: now a small group of democrats are being briefed here at the white house this morning. in an unusual move the parties are being briefed separately on this. a handful of republicans received a briefing yesterday and it is clear both sides of the aisle have a lot more questions. >> yeah, that is surprising and congress is now demanding a briefing for every member of congress. mary bruce, thanks very much. robin? and, george, we are following a lot of other headlines this morning including news of the race for a vaccine, what dr. fauci is hoping for. our dr. ashton here with the latest. also the big fourth of july

more than 100,000 cases. beaches there are closed for the fourth of july. they're closed in miami as well. also right now the certification process is under way for the boeing 737 max and changes to the plane's automation will be tested this week. the faa decides whether they get the green light to fly again. remember, the max was grounded more than a year ago following two crashes that killed 346 people. both crashes were tied to software. baseball is coming back, but several players already opting out of the shortened 2020 season including colorado rockies outfielder ian desmond. he posted this on instagram, home to answer my three boys' questions about coronavirus and civil rights and life. home to be their dad. robin. >> all right. okay. love that. we're going to continue now with the race for a coronavirus vaccine. as infection rates soar around

the country, the world health organization reporting 17 possible vaccines are in clinical evaluation with one already in wide scale human trials. eva pilgrim joins us now with the latest on all that. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, robin. scientists around the world are trying to find the vaccine, but experts warn it may not be a cure-all. this morning, the race to find a coronavirus vaccine intensifying. >> i'm cautiously optimistic that we will have one or maybe more candidates of vaccines that could be available and be effective by the end of the year, the beginning of 2021. >> reporter: the nation's top infectious disease expert, dr. anthony fauci, now saying he would settle for a covid-19 vaccine that is 70% to 75% effective, but that level of protection coupled with the fact that more than one in four americans say they are unlikely to get a vaccine according to a recent abc news/"washington post" poll raising concern for dr. fauci who fears that those current numbers could make it unlikely that the u.s. will reach a level of immunity to stifle the outbreak.

but finding a vaccine remains the surest path out of the pandemic. the world health organization's latest report shows 17 potential vaccines in human trials, 132 in preclinical phases. here in the u.s. biotech company moderna is set to begin phase 3 human trials in july with 30,000 volunteers. 65-year-old norman hulme was one of moderna's early participants and part of that critical age group hit so hard by covid-19. >> this is cutting-edge science, and i'm just one small person, and if i can do my little piece of this, we'll hopefully find a way out of the pandemic. >> reporter: now other drugmakers are pushing forward to be part of the president's "operation warp speed" for a vaccine. johnson & johnson, the largest health care company in the world, aiming to start human trials in july. >> if the vaccine is safe and effective, then the goal is to

have it ready for distribution as quickly as possible. >> reporter: while the progress so far looks promising, success isn't a guarantee and a lot is on the line. experts warn finding a vaccine won't be the only challenge going forward. >> the biggest challenge is just the sheer number of vaccines that will be needed, and we still need to know a lot about exactly what type of immune response is needed and how such a vaccine will work in people all over the world. >> reporter: so what happens next if a vaccine makes it through phase 3 trials? well, if investigators can prove that it is effective and safe, it is likely the fda will approve it for use. robin? >> that sounds promising. eva, thank you. dr. jennifer ashton is going to join us now with more on this. good morning, jen. always good to see you. and when we heard in eva's

report and it sounds very promising these vaccines that are projected for the future, but are you confident that we're making progress for right now to have it as soon as possible? >> i think, robin, there's been incredible work done in a very short period of time but when you talk about the treatment options, think about it in terms of three general categories, immune therapy which, of course, vaccines are under that category. we're talking about things like convalescent plasma, monoclonal antibodies. then in terms of treatment, anti-viral medications. remdesivir is getting attention but many others are being studied and anti-inflammatories, we heard promising data about dexamethasone and other drugs being used to block that cytokind storm seen generally in the second phase of severe covid-19 so there is some encouraging progress, yes. >> good to hear that. remdesivir, you just mentioned

that among the other ones, but that's the one being talked about the most. the drug company released how much it costs. how does that compare to other treatments, the cost? >> well, let's talk about the cost, robin, because it is getting a lot of attention. gilead, the maker of remdesivir, has said that a course of remdesivir treatment which is about six vials per patient will cost about $3,200. in comparison to let's say a course of some chemotherapy, it could be $16,000. cost is always an issue but, again, gilead saying this drug priced under value, that the pricing of a course of treatment will provide access to any and all patients who need it and they mentioned yesterday that by the end of 2020 they will have committed $1 billion in terms of development and manufacturing of remdesivir, so high costs involved for sure. >> that's for sure. besides drugs, what are doctors learning about how to treat patients with coronavirus?

>> they're learning a lot. critical care specialists, pulmonologists are really learning new treatments, one of them, that proning positioning of turning patients over so that they can get better oxygenation in their blood, delaying intubation as long as possible, and every single day they're learning about this virus. >> yeah, and that's so important because you said at the very beginning there was so much that we didn't know but we are starting to learn more and that is being very helpful, isn't it, jen? >> for sure, robin. >> all right. thanks. have a great day. michael. >> thank you, robin. we're turning to the golden state killer pleading guilty to killing 13 people and other crimes in the '70s and '80s. his former brother-in-law spoke exclusively to abc news. matt gutman who was in the courtroom joins us from sacramento, california, with more. good morning to you, matt. >> reporter: michael, good morning.

this is one of the last days arguably one of the most sadistic serial killers in american history will wake up in this jail. now, he pleaded guilty to that cascade of cruelty, 63 murders and rapes, but for his victims yesterday might not have provided justice but it was closure. this morning, the sadist who terrorized california for decades forced to admit crime after crime. >> how do you plead? >> guilty. >> reporter: joseph james deangelo a/k/a the golden state state killer, pleading guilty to dozens of charges. >> the scope of joseph deangelo's crime spree is simply staggering, encompassing 13 known murders and almost 50 rapes between 1975 and 1986. >> reporter: it took hours for the parade of prosecutors from 11 counties to read the counts against him. >> you attacked her. you beat her and you raped her. you murdered her in the first degree.

learned about the first cases in china. now more than 10 million people around the world have been infected. here at home the number of cases climbing in at least 32 states. i want to go back to marcus moore in houston. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: george, good morning. the fire department here told us that calls are on the rise because of the outbreak and that some hospitals are at or near capacity as they see more and more patients with covid-19. this morning, a startling new warning from the world health organization. >> the hard reality is this is not even close to being over. the worst is yet to come. >> reporter: and a reality check from the cdc. >> i think there was a lot of wishful thinking around the country that, hey, summer, everything is going to be fine. we have way too much virus across the country for that right now. >> reporter: as cases of the coronavirus near 2.6 million in the u.s., 32 states are now reporting increases, 23 have seen hospitalizations go up. in california, los angeles

county becoming the first in the country with more than 100,000 confirmed cases. health officials blaming businesses and individuals for not following the rules. while in texas, hospitals are nearing the brink. first responders working around the clock. in arizona, hospitals are reaching capacity and the death toll climbing. and in florida, where this testing site at tropicana field had to close an hour after opening because of demand, the state's positive test rate increasing to 13.5%. now jacksonville, the site of the gop convention in august, mandating masks in public places along with miami beach. earlier this morning george spoke with miami mayor francis suarez about the spike in cases in miami-dade. >> so if you're going to avoid a stay-at-home order, do you need a mandatory -- a rule to make masks mandatory for the state? not just the city of miami? >> if the governor asks my opinion, i would urge that. i don't see the difference in telling people that you should wear a mask from mandating it. to me it's no different than

telling people they have tory to wear a seatbelt. if you get in an accident there's no guarantee you'll make it out alive but a seat belt increases your chances tremendously of getting out alive. so for me wearing a mask in public is no different. it doesn't guarantee you won't get covid but increases your chances tremendously. so for me, as mayor of a city that's dealing with this crisis, it's a no-brainer and i would hope that eventually it becomes a no-brainer for the state. >> reporter: this morning, health experts and city leaders here in houston say there's every indication that this situation is far from over. in fact, that's one of the things the fire chief told me that's so alarming about this, that this has persisted now for months. robin? breaking news for our viewers in the west, the passing of carl reiner, best known for creating and starring in the dick van dyke show. he was good friends with another comedy legend, mel brooks, for

safety of our cast, crew and audience is our highest priority. one thing is for sure, when we return, we will be stronger and more needed than ever. broadway has been dark since mid-march. it had been a huge year for the theater, grossing $1.8 billion last season, attracting a record 15 million people to our fair city. refunds are being offered for tickets to shows through january 3, 2021. in the meantime, if you need a broadway fix, we're here for you. "hamilton's" release on disney plus july 3rd will hold us over, and we will, as we have mentioned, have three of the original stars of the broadway phenomenon on "gma" live this morning. we love this show and we know you will as well. also this morning, i guess we need a really good choice for the "gma" book club's june read. it was called "the vanishing half." if you haven't heard about it, you surely will. it went to the top of the "the new york times" best-seller's list and now the rights have

just been sold for over $1 million. "deadline" reporting this morning that hbo, home of "big little lies," dished out seven figures to adapt the book with author brit bennett serving as executive producer for a limited series. i got chills. so excited for her. "the vanishing half" is the story of twin sisters inseparable as kids who choose to live in two very different worlds, one black and one white. after we debuted it as our "gma" june book club pick, it quickly sold out on amazon. congratulations to author brit bennett. and finally, an iconic symbol of new york city now masked to remind all of us to stay safe. patience and fortitude, those are the names of the historic lions that guard the new york public library wearing sheets measuring over three feet, the artists making sure to also

cover the stately feline's noses as well as their mouths. the library staff saying the beloved marble lions began wearing masks to set an example for all. the marvelous marble duo have been standing guard since 1911 in the face of countless historic moments including the great depression and world war ii. they're still here and they want all of us to be here too. and, robin, that is "pop news" on this glorious morning. >> you see, you see riva? you see? got them back together again like they were. >> riva, do you see your boyfriend? there he is. go bite him. stop biting me. >> yes. all right, lara, thank you and riva as always. we move on to our "gma" cover story and we're seeing more of those face shields being used as a protection against coronavirus. but how do they stack up against masks, or should you wear both? becky worley will join us now from san francisco.

she will take a closer look. good morning there, becky. >> reporter: good morning, robin. you walk down the street of any town or city and you're going to see more of these face shields made for industrial settings now being used to fight coronavirus. clear plastic shields, hospital staff use them in conjunction with surgical masks or n-95s but many people are wearing them instead of cloth masks. >> i think face shields are a great option. one great advantage this time of the year is that they aren't as hot as a face mask is. for most people it feels easier to breathe when you have on a face shield. you don't get the fogging that you get with a mask if you're a person like me who wears glasses. and they're easy to clean. >> reporter: dr. michael edmonds a professor of infectious disease cites a simulation done in 2014 asserting that wearing a

plastic face shield reduced the inhalation of droplets from a cough by 96%, significantly protecting the wearer. this simulation though was not conducted using the virus that causes covid-19 and the cdc says it is not known if face shields protect others from the spray of respiratory particles and the cdc does not recommend use of face shields for normal everyday activities or as a substitute for cloth face coverings. the cdc's deputy director, anne schuchat, saying -- >> i don't think we have data yet that a shield is better or worse. in the health care setting, i think that issue is it's not just the medical mask or the just the medical mask or the n-95.igsk setting that eye protection is important. >> reporter: to confuse matters even more some states list face shields as an alternative to cloth masks. oregon listing masks, shields or coverings as being okay. but in nearby seattle, the county saying, transparent face shields are not a direct substitute for face coverings

because they don't protect others. droplets released when someone coughs, sneezes or speaks can be dispersed through the sides and bottom of the shield. >> we don't have all the data we need. what you would like is a study that compares head-to-head the face masks to face shields and those studies aren't yet available. >> reporter: the doctors we spoke with cited hospital use of both a mask and a shield simultaneously to protect health care workers. they say that's probably too much for everyday grocery shopping, but viruses can infect you through your eyes and maybe the best thing about a shield is that it keeps you from touching your face, robin. >> oh, that would be the case, yeah, kind of hard to do that. but what about availability? you don't want to take them away from medical workers who need them more than the average person. >> really good point. one of the doctors we spoke with for the story said one upside of shields is they can be easily

manufactured. some big corporations have reconfigured their assembly lines and are making them. there are diy instructions. you can 3d print this holder and cut a piece of clear plastic to snap in. that said they seem to be pretty hard to find online right now. i know they're popular or maybe there's a lot of welding going on. >> okay, perhaps. you make that look good. all right. it's all about protection. thanks so much, becky. always good to see you. appreciate that. let's get back now to michael there in the studio. what is that nickname? chef boyar -- >> chef boyarstra comes out on the weekends. >> that's it. >> i'll have you over for a meal soon enough. now we turn to our "gma" exclusive. with so many people still at home and choosing to eat in, "consumer reports" is out with its annual top picks in frozen foods.

eva pilgrim is back with more. hey, eva. >> reporter: hey, michael. in case people aren't going to cook like you, sales of frozen foods are up 50% in april from that same time in the previous year. now, "consumer reports" is out with their top picks. new this year, best tasting and healthier choices. if you're exhausted from cooking every meal, staying home in the pandemic, there may be some help. quick, healthy options in the frozen foods aisle. >> frozen foods really are an opportunity to take some of that stress off and really make the kitchen a place where there's not as much struggle. >> reporter: "consumer reports" rating frozen meals for taste and nutrition. >> we looked at the proportion of whole healthy ingredients in these meals, things like whole grains, quinoa, legumes and the the vegetables. >> reporter: their report exclusively on "gma" with findings that may surprise you. >> we found the frozen meals we rated are not the same typical

frozen meals from the past. >> reporter: "consumer reports" says there are a growing number of frozen meals minimally processed and have healthier greingredients ingredients, more fiber and less sodium. some of the top scoring meals, healthy choice simply steamers unwrapped burrito bowl, kashi plant-powered bowl sweet potato quinoa and socal kale and amy's light and lean quinoa and black bean with butternut squash. >> i call them chef helpers, and you get a little assist in the kitchen. >> reporter: so the portions on these can be a little small. so they suggest adding something to go with it, either a side salad or vegetables or even whole grain bread to help fill you up. michael? >> at my size i will just add a whole other portion, eva. thank you so much. now we go to ginger again. hey, ginger. >> reporter: hey, michael. severe storms today from nebraska through north dakota but that's an area used to

severe storms. what about new york city? this image of the time lapse of the storm moving through that was a severe thunderstorm that came through with nearly 70-mile-per-hour winds clocked in queens, new york. a lot of my friends sent me video of their hail and they were just amazed that the hail would form in the summer. well, hail does form in the spring and summer and requires the heat of spring and summer to rise and get that high updraft to make that ice pellet get bigger and bigger. so now we all know that and we know where the severe weather will be today. flash flooding was another issue, nearly two inches of rain good morning. i'm mike nicco. slightly warmer away from the coast today where we'll see more clouds and more clouds tonight and cool. temperatures in the 50s.

to, you know, meeting people in crowds and on rope lines and now we're here in our home in wilmington, delaware. and joe is on -- you know, in one studio talking on zoom and i'm in another studio that we've created talking on zoom. so it's totally different and we miss being out there. >> yeah, you miss that live energy from people, i'm sure. >> yes. >> your husband said he will pick a female to be his running mate in the presidential election. do you have any input in his choice? >> well, you know, i would hope he would listen to me and get my advice, but it has to be his decision. you know, he said that he wants a relationship like he had with barack. no one knows better than joe does than the role of the vice president and they respected one another. and at the end of the day, you know, joe is the last one in the room to give his opinion and i think that's what matters that they share the same values and that they have the same, you know, vision about governing our

country. >> and do you have any idea when we could expect an announcement? you could be exclusive right here on "gma" and would be no problem. >> that is a good idea. should i go get joe? >> yeah, go get him. give the name and, you know, just give it up right now. >> wake up, joe. come on down. >> i had to try. i had to try. >> i know. now we want to talk about your children's book, about joe's life. what made you want to tell his story in this way? >> well, you know, everybody sees joe, these young children see joe on tv and i want them to know joe as a child because he has -- he was so brave and adventurous and, you know, it was such a good story. never refused a dare but, you know, michael, he also was a little boy who stuttered and he had to overcome hardship. and i want children to realize

that even if there's something that you're dealing with or struggling with, that, you know, you can be a success. you can be or do whatever you want and joe's story is an example of that. >> story that resonates to all of us. you say it includes never before told family stories about joe's childhood. could you tell us one of those stories right now? >> sure. well, one of the things about joe is that there was -- in maloney field in scranton where he grew up there was a flagpole so joe was the only kid in the neighborhood who could shimmy up that flagpole and reach the top. and actually joe didn't even remember that, but he got a letter from a childhood friend, bill, who wrote "e.t." and he talks to joe and he says -- he writes this beautiful letter to joe about how he remembers him. and he said, the only one able to reach the top of the flagpole was you and so i -- he said, i

shall always see you there conquering the last few feet and then turning to wave back down at us. and i think, you know, that's joe. i mean, he always took the challenge. and the refrain that i have in the book is give me the ball, give me the ball. and i think that there's no better time for that, you know, to apply than this time when joe is saying to the american public, give me the ball, let me handle this. let me take these burdens off your shoulders and put them on mine. and so it's the story of challenge and overcoming hardship and fairness. >> and wanting that responsibility to handle that yourself. how much input did joe have in writing this book? anything he wanted to put in the book that you didn't? >> no, this was my book. this was my book. he let me write the book and tell the stories and i talked to him about his childhood. i talked to his brother and sister.

i called his childhood friends and then i came up with the themes that i wanted to portray. what i wanted america to see about my husband and who he is, who he was as a child and who he is today as a man. >> how do you think kids of today are going to relate to joe's childhood story? >> i think those -- i think children today can see, like i said, the hardship that's overcame, that he stood up to bullies and he always fought back and he took control and he fought for others. you know, with fairness. he got involved in politics because of the civil rights movement and still he still is fighting today for fairness and i want people to -- i want young children to see who he was as a child and how he's, you know, such a great leader. >> well, dr. jill biden, thank you so much for sharing your book with us. and congratulations to you and

joe, you just had your 43rd wedding anniversary a week and a half ago. congratulations to both of you and thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, thanks, michael. >> "joey: the story of joe biden" is available everywhere right now. coming up, the big surprise for the lasagna lady, the washington state mom serving her community through difficult times. plus, "hamilton's" the schuyler sisters join us live. ♪ to the bride to the bride

do better. and i really took it upon myself to be better the next day than i was that day. and i ended up leaving there, going home and making lasagna and just reaching out to my community and offering lasagna. >> and the community has responded in such a positive way. >> absolutely. we have such a great community involvement. our lasagnas have gone all over the state, even neighboring states now. we've fed many frontline workers, hospitals, retail staff. you name it, we've definitely provided lasagna for them. >> we have some right here right now. before i take a bite, i want to ask you -- tell you a little

been looking forward to this. we are back now on "gma." all week long we're counting down the musical "hamilton" finally premieres on disney plus. that will happen this friday and this morning we're excited to the fabulous three original schuyler sisters joining us from

the production. joining us, renee, of course renee elise goldsberry, phillipa soo and jasmine cephas jones all joining us. great to see all of you. and, phillipa, i just have to say to everybody, we were talking in the break so i feel like i'm a fourth sister right now but, oh, my, i love it. the way you work together so well, you spent so much time together, shared a dressing room together. phillipa, is it true you all would just break out in song when you were backstage? >> yes, that is true. i mean, you know, when you're working on a show you never know -- sometimes you know who you will work with but sometimes you don't know anyone and everyone is a stranger to you. and let me just say it was not hard to find the sisterly bond. we were sharing a dressing room. it was just -- it was very small and the most meaningful bonding moments i think happened in the

little moments and, if there was ever a moment to either make up a song or take a song that already existed and add three-part harmony, we would do that. i learned lin was inspired by that and that's why we sort of changed schuyler sisters from downtown to uptown. added more three-part harmonies and i actually don't remember the first version. do you guys remember it? >> i don't. we added a lot of licking and a lot of harmony. we used to harmonize about anything that happened. if somebody would show up to the show, we would sing about it. remember, i was just looking at when obama came and -- ♪ going to do a show for obama >> yeah. >> we would sing anything that was happening in three-part harmony. >> yeah, we made a song about the grammys too. >> you guys are just so -- it

would come to you like that. and we talked about lin, lin-manuel miranda, of course, the creator of this magic that people are going to be able to see many for the first time on disney plus. now, when he saw the movie "hamilton," the movie, he threw his shoe which is in essence a standing ovation. renee, i heard you were in a puddle of tears when you saw the movie. is that true? >> i was in a puddle of tears and -- so, yeah, i threw a tissue box is what i threw. yeah, it's like i find it -- i'm not objective. i just find it a revelation through the entire -- to the last moment and you'll know what i mean when you see this movie, that even at the very -- i believe you have seen it. at the very last moment, robin -- >> yes. >> -- it's not -- you think it's over but it's not. the last moment of the film is probably the most breathtaking of the entire film and that's --

i won't give it away. i won't spoil it but, ooh, if you're not in a puddle of tears by the end of it, you're not human to me. >> i could not agree with you more and, phillipa, the way she just -- i want people to see it but i want people to see a clip right now. you play anjelica, the older sister and here you are singing to your younger sister who is just about to get married to the man that you love, alexander hamilton. here's a clip. ♪ a toast to the groom the groom to the groom to the groom ♪ ♪ to the bride to the bride to the bride ♪ ♪ from your sister ♪ anjelica always by your side ♪ who's always by your side ♪ always by your side ♪ to your union to the union ♪ to the revolution and the hope that you provide ♪ ♪ and the hope that you provide ♪ ♪ may you always be satisfied >> oh, my gosh. i get chills when i hear your voices.

and i know that you have a debut ep coming out, jasmine. "blue bird" i believe is the name of it. you've had a lot of musicians that have seen "hamilton." were you ever starstruck when you looked out, jasmine, at the audience to see who was there? >> i was starstruck a lot. even though we had a lot of celebrities and famous people come every night, it started to be the norm for us. so we were always performing on 100 because, you know, we just never knew who was going to be there. but, you know, performing for the obamas was absolutely amazing. beyonce and jay-z came and i lost it. and i think my favorite person of all time was prince that came to the show and we had just gone to one of his parties. he invited us to one of his parties and it was so exciting. we found out like 20 minutes before the show ended and, you know, we were able to share that

moment together. and then the next day he saw the show and he was sitting in the balcony. so we all -- he was sitting in the balcony in one of those boxes on the side, and, you know, we all knew he was sitting right there. you could just feel the energy, so that was one of like the people that i was so excited to see and be there and perform in front of. >> i was so mad that i -- >> that's beautiful congratulations on your engagement.
