morning expected to make landfall as a category 3 hurricane and millions are on alert in texas and louisiana. ginger is tracking the latest on ginger, we have a major storm on our hands here. >> and, t.j., the last time we had a major hurricane, which is a 3 or above, to hit texas was harvey back in 2017. the last time louisiana had it was rita in 2005, so i want to take you to the satellite. laura is now in the open gulf. that's not good news. nothing in her way. she's got a lot of hot water to be fueled on and as the track takes you right up the state line, so we're talking port arthur, beaumont, lake charles, all right in the cone. houston, you're in the cone too. making landfall early thursday morning as a category 3 hurricane. i want to point out the cone because i think the track will keep ticking westward and that's why anybody from houston and galveston who will be in that northeast quadrant, that northeast side where we see the worst of

feet. that's where we get real problems. wind, over 100 miles per hour. rain, more than a foot. >> we'll take some good news. thank you. let's turn to rob in new orleans where they are prepping for this storm. good morning to you, rob. >> reporter: hey, good morning, t.j. as quickly as marco dissipated laura is ramping up. it won't just be stronger but a much larger storm so communities far away from the center will be impacted. here in new orleans the water run-up we saw from marco is not draining so that's going to cause problems. lake at this shot of lake pontchartrain. i want to show you what it looks like from our drone. waterway along with waterways across louisiana remain high because of marco. overnight tropical storm laura teing thro a wicked one-two punch. tropical storm marco making landfall near the mouth of the mississippi river. and now laura barrelling north

re-elected. trying to deliver the optimistic tone president trump promised, republican senator tim scott gave the speech of the night. >> we have work to do, but i believe in the goodness of america. >> reporter: a poignant and personal message. >> our family went from cotton to congress in one lifetime and that's why i believe the next american century can be better than the last. >> reporter: former u.n. ambassador and south carolina governor nikki haley speaking to her immigrant roots attacking democrats. >> in much of the democratic party it's now fashionable to say that america is racist. that is a lie. america is not a racist country. >> reporter: president trump pledged to put on a positive event with a more traditional convention feel. >> and, ladies and gentlemen of this country, the best is yet to come. >> reporter: but it was a promise republicans failed to keep.

earlier in the day, the president himself had trouble sticking to the plan kicking the week off with a baseless warning that democrats want to use mail-in voting to steal the election. >> they're using covid to defraud the american people, all of our people, of a fair and free election. we can't do that. >> reporter: trump taunting his opponents. [ crowd chanting "four more years" ] >> if you want to drive them crazy, you say 12 more years. >> reporter: the night featured glowing reviews of trump's character and misleading reviews of his response to the pandemic. >> from the very beginning, democrats, the media and the world health organization got coronavirus wrong. one leader took decisive action to save lives, president donald trump. >> reporter: the reality over 175,000 americans have now died from the virus trump often said would just go away.

the positive messaging all but disappearing replaced with dire warnings of a bleak future. >> don't let the democrats take you for granted. don't let them step on you. don't let them destroy your family, your lives and your future. >> reporter: the president's son, donald trump jr., pitching the election as a choice between law and order or total chaos. >> it's almost like this election is shaping up to be church, work and school versus rioting, looting and vandalism, or, in the words of biden and the democrats, peaceful protesting. >> reporter: now, the biden campaign responding taking aim at the tone of the night saying, quote, it was a parade of dark and divisive fear-mongering designed to distract from the fact that donald trump does not have an affirmative case to make for his re-election. tonight republicans will try to show a softer side of the candidate. the first lady melania trump will deliver the marquee speech from the rose garden. george? >> thank you, mary. we're joined now by former ambassador nikki haley. thanks for joining us, ambassador. >> good morning.

>> you spoke last night about outicized democrats who you say called this a racist country. joe biden has not said america is racist but he and other democrats have decried patterns of systemic racism in housing, education, law enforcement, employment, and the latest possible example, that shooting of jacob blake last night. do those barriers exist and what specifically has president trump done to address them? >> well, what i've said is that america is a work in progress. you know, if you look at the fact that, you know, we were able to fight a civil war and end slavery, we got through the segregation system. we had an african-american president. we have an african-american female vice presidential candidate so we are continuing to get better. but we have to always keep improving. i know about dirty cops. i dealt with one in south carolina when we had a white officer shoot walter scott in the back. but we came together. we passed the first body camera

bill in the country. that's how you fix things, by coming together, by talking about it and getting to solutions. so, no, we're not a racist country. do we have racists in our country? yes, but we are a work in progress. >> i asked you what president trump has done to heal that racial divide. and, you know, you wrote that you were deeply disturbed by president trump's comments after charlottesville. since then he's tweeted out a video of his supporters chanting white power, praised the confederate flag which you call divisive in your speech last night. so i'll ask the question again, what specifically has president trump done to address this systemic racism and the racial divide? >> i will tell you first of all president trump has passed criminal justice reform which obama and biden didn't do. we saw the lowest unemployments of african-americans and hispanics which wasn't under president obama or biden. we have seen more funding go to the historically black colleges. that never happened under obama and biden. so this is more about opinions of you thinking that the president hasn't done enough. i'm looking at results at what the president has done.

>> i didn't say the president had done nothing. i asked you what he thought he had done. and do you stand by your previous comments? >> my previous comments of that we are continuing to be a work in progress? >> responding to what the president said in charlottesville when you said you were deeply disturbed. >> oh, of course. i wrote that in the book. i mean, there have been times where, you know, the president and i don't agree on necessarily on the style, but -- and he's not the most politically correct person. everybody knows that. but whenever i saw something, i would talk to him about it and he would always listen and he would always work towards improving. and i think that's what we have to understand is at the end of the day the man that i knew in the white house was someone who genuinely cared about the american people. he cared about the status of all people. he cared about making sure that he left his mark on improving america for when he was done and i think that we have to look at that. to just think and to have, you know, media outlets say he is just a bad person is not fair.

>> you spoke last night of your indian-american roots and your parents and their immigrant story. on a personal level what was your reaction when kamala harris, another indian-american, was chosen as a vice presidential nominee? >> look, any time we see someone do something that hasn't done it before, it's a proud moment. you know, you want to see americans in general improve. so to see that now we've gotten past the barrier of an african-american or a minority female as vice president, that's great. but the issues are that we disagree terribly on policy. but i'm not going to take away the fact that this was a huge step for her but it was also a huge step for women, a huge step for minorities. but at the end of the day, the policies of biden and harris don't help minorities. they don't help them improve when it comes to school choice. they don't help them improve when it comes to criminal justice reform. they don't help them improve when it comes to the economy and having more jobs in america. so that's really what this is

going to talk about is, yes, it's great when we cross a barrier. it's even better when we get good policies in place where everyone is advantaged. >> ambassador haley, thanks for your time. >> thanks so much. >> our full coverage of the republican convention continues at 7:00 p.m. on abc newslive and i'll be anchoring prime time coverage on the network starting at 10:00. t.j.? we turn to the nba playoffs. it was a bit of an emotional night on kobe bryant day honoring the late nba legend who would have turned 42 on sunday, honoring him and his daughter gianna. lebron james and the lakers now in a commanding lead and beat portland while wearing black mamba edition jerseys. james led the charge with 30 points. they're now a game away from ating the game a watching youlectio n election be convention. the game was a blow-out so watched more of you than i thought i would. >> multi-tasking. >> right. the game was a blow-out so i focussed on george. >> we'll keep t.j. up tonight as well.

going public weeks ago following a series of recent racy party photos, one he posted on social media with his wife's assistant. the university forbids alcohol or mediandrel or extramarital sex. falwell later took the photo down and apologized, saying it was from a costume party and just in good fun. >> our whole faith is based on the theology of forgiveness, of -- on the fact that -- i mean, we believe -- jesus taught us that all of us are sinners. we all sin every day. >> reporter: falwell, president of liberty university, took a leave of absence on august 7th. then this week the shocking story from granda who tells reuters his relationship with the falwells lasted from 2012 to 2018. >> the affair, he said, started in 2012. it started when he was 20 years old. >> reporter: offering texts and audio recordings as proof. >> his new thing is like telling me every time he hooks up with people like i don't have feelings or something.

>> he's gog to make you jealous. >> yeah. >> not trying to do that. and t falwells are in business together, owning a miami youth hostel. both sides are quoted in news reports saying the business relationship soured. in another publication falwell saying he was not involved in his wife's inappropriate personal relationship and granda threatened to extort the couple over it. granda denies the extortion allegation. overnight becki falwell speaking out saying we couldn't take the torture anymore and so we went public with the story, and jerry resigned to protect the reputation of the university that he and his family spent their lives building. jerry falwell jr. has been a fierce advocate for president trump, even speaking at the 2016 republican national convention. during this week's rnc there has been no mention of falwell on the lineup. george? >> all right, deb, thank you so much. i'll take it from here. we want to turn now to more on the police shooting of jacob blake.

the disturbing video sparking ce j in cities across the u.s.lake and his family, along with the families of george floyd and breonna taylor. good to see you again, ben, under these circumstances. let's start first with how is blake doing? still in the hospital? >> well, his family got to see him yesterday. they are relieved that he is in stable condition. however, he's still in intensive care and he's still facing more surgeries in the near future. >> ben, how are his kids doing? they were in the car when their dad was shot. >> well, t.j., obviously everybody who has seen this video is just shocked and outraged and devastated. but his three sons, his 8-year-old, his 5-year-old and his 3-year-old are absolutely devastated and you can only imagine the psychological

problems that these babies are going to have for the rest of their life. >> and, ben, tell us, we go to the incident here. can you confirm, in fact, he was shot seven times in the back? >> he was shot at seven times in the back. right now we're trying to confirm that he was hit four times even though the officer fired seven. so those facts are yet to be verified. >> only one officer fired, is that right? >> that is what we understand, yes. >> and he was there to break up a fight as you said. so help us now understand how he goes from there to break up a fight to this incident and what we saw on video. >> you know, that is the question. several witnesses said that the police seemed to be the aggressors from the moment they got on the scene and the video shows what happened. he was walking away. he wasn't posing a threat to

them or anything like that. so it seems yet again, t.j., that we have police officers who are using excessive, unnecessary force and shooting an unarmed black man in america. >> but two things here. there are reports that possibly a witness heard police say drop the knife and also reports that there was possibly a scuffle before what we see on the video. so do you have any indication that he was armed in any way and was there some kind of altercation between blake and the officers beforehand? >> we have no indication that he was armed by any of the witnesses that has come forward to us. and, t.j., this family seems to think, and this community thinks, that it's a double standard when they charge a bl say, well, watch the video. but when the police use excessive force against us and there's video, they say, well, let's put it in context.

the video doesn't show the whole story. the video shows what happened. now they're trying to justify the unjustifiable of them shooting him all those times in front of his children at his son's birthday party. >> ben, from what you see on that video, is that enough for an arrest right now of that officer for you? >> absolutely, and his family is calling for the immediate termination of this officer who unnecessarily and justifiably and senselessly shot him all those times in the back and that's why you have people protesting not only in wisconsin but now, t.j., they're starting to protest all over america saying, enough is enough. when will black lives matter? >> ben, last thing here to you on more of a personal note, i know you were with the family of trayvon martin last night with his mother. you were in louisville representing the family of

breonna taylor, had an event there and got on a plane to be in wisconsin to meet with the family of blake. you seem to be going from city to city, tragedy to tragedy, video to video. there are emotions of anger and rage in the streets but you are closer to them than anybody. what is it like for to you be hopping around the country having yet another, yet another, yet another? what are your emotions? >> it's very sad, t.j. as we testified in front of the u.s. congress, george floyd's brother and i, i said, this is the time now in america that we need systematic reform to change the culture and the behavior of police in america. and if we don't, we'll continue to see these hashtags and we'll continue to see protests in different cities, and cities are going to be on fire because people are saying, enough is enough. >> of course, we know the family of jacob blake calling for peace in the streets and for everyone to certainly be peaceful. but, ben crump, i know we'll talk to you down the road. good to see you as always. >> thank you so much.

"lucy and desi," and will explore their relationship and sitcom "i love lucy" and she's getting help from lucy and desie "i love lucy" was watched by two-thirds of the entire country. america's first family in the '50s tackling risque topics like a multiethnic marriage and on-air pregnancy. lucy was a pioneer, if you will, financing her own tv studio and was also the first woman head of that studio. no word yet on a release date for this highly anticipated documentary on america's favorite couple. congratulations to amy poehler. that is fantastic news. also popping this morning, calling all "sex and the city" fans. samantha jones is back. we should sya kim cattrall is back heading to the small screen and she may have to tone it down. her new tv show on network tv. she'll play a character named margaret monroe on a tv show that sounds like a perfect fit. here's your first look at kim in "filthy rich."

>> "filthy rich" is a story of a louisiana evangelical family. >> look how far we've come. >> they're billionaires. they built this worldwide network. the patriarch of the family is killed. >> lord have mercy on your son. >> after his death all of these family secrets are revealed. >> he was a good man, but not a faithful man. >> she says she purposely waited a long time to isto give viewers a chance to see her as someone other than samantha jones. it's been 16 years since "sex and the city." "filthy rich" premiers on fox on september 21st. finally some newlyweds who know how to share the love. melanie and tyler canceled their original plans for a large wedding like so many have due to the pandemic, instead settled on a backyard ceremony with just 12 guests and did it last week. since catering was paid for they didn't want the food to go to waste. they planned to serve to 150 guests.

of particles that can come out of our mouths just from speaking. but this morning, researchers say when it comes to getting infected, they have their eye on the nose. >> things likely start in the nose and the nose basically is the purveyor of all viral ill. >> reporter: a group of 43 researchers at the university of north carolina mapped locations in the respiratory tract to see where covid-19 most likely infiltrates the body and found the cells that line the nose may be more likely to become infected with the virus than the throat or lungs. >> the virus appeared to pick the nose as a fertile ground for infection. >> reporter: this picture from the study shows different parts of the respiratory system after being infected with the same amount of the virus. more green dots in the nasal cavity, researchers say, indicating many more cells infected in the nose. >> remember, we've only known about this virus for about seven or eight months. so the more we learn about the mechanism of how the virus causes infection in humans is key.

i think the study is important. >> reporter: and public officials have warned us -- >> but this is a mask. this is a chin guard. >> reporter: saying covering your notion with a mask is just as important as your mouth. >> wearing a mask if you're infected and how you protect your fellow citizens, the inverse is also true, if you wear a mask you'll protect yourselves. >> reporter: researchers say part of the reason you could be more likely to get infected through your nose is because the nose has a higher number of cellular docking sites for the virus. the doctor we talked to referred to your nose as the grand central station of viral infection. cecelia? >> i'm going to let that sit there for a second. okay, yeah. t.j. says move on. we move on to the millions of students back to school this week. so many parents and kids adjusting to the virtual classroom dealing with zoom outages and now crucial devices needed for remote learning seem to be in short supply. rebecca jarvis joins us with

more. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. as all parents know right now, technology is probably the most important item on that back-to-school supply list and it is failing in many ways. those zoom outages yesterday, the supply shortage right now of laptops which is still ongoing, is keeping families on their toes. they're having to go out of their way to make remote learning work. monday morning just as the number of students and teachers were logging in to kick off day one of remote learning, go to video conferencing app zoom stopped working across the u.s. the outage lasting nearly five hours, even forcing some classes to cancel. meantime, many families uncertain when their children will even have a device to learn on. an associated press investigation finding that more than two dozen schools and districts in 15 different states are facing significant delays on laptop orders due to surging demand. >> it's a little bit like asking them to paint without a paintbrush.

it's asking them to play basketball without a ball. >> reporter: in california's mojave desert nearly 5,000 laptops are delayed because of the shortage. >> several weeks delayed now. >> reporter: superintendent baumgardner says he's become chief negotiator suddenly playing let's make a deal with computer producers. >> we're all chasing computers. we're calling the companies. this past weekend we got a thousand computers. >> reporter: and this school district isn't alone. in clark county, nevada, a district of over 327,000 students, their 79,400 laptop order isn't expected to ship until the end of september. >> we've gotten this astronomical surge and demand for laptops. the supply chain was not anticipating having to produce this many and we are still playing catch-up at the moment. >> reporter: that alarming need bringing a number of concerned citizens and charities to the table. >> both: so we're out here -- >> picking up laptops. >> dropping off laptops. >> reporter: in north carolina, dance studio owner brittany

creating the laptop give-in asking her community to donate new and old laptops and funds for refurbishment. >> if we're able to give 200 laptops, that's 200 more students able to focus on their education during this virtual season. >> reporter: you love to see people showing up for their communities. a number of cities and towns are running laptop drives right now so whether you have a computer to donate or you're in the market for one, they're out there. there's also a website called everyoneon.org. you type in your zip code and they will connect you to lower, less expensive wi-fi as well as computer offers. cecelia? >> really good stuff and, again, like you said if you have an old one at home and can donate it, it's a good thing to do. thanks, rebecca. we're going to head over to ginger. heading to texas because laura officially a hurricane will rapidly intensify. we'll see impacts as soon as late wednesday night and defini.

wind speeds, this model has port arthur close to 110 miles per hour. a major hurricane. so we could see gusts in excess of 115. you'll definitely see storm surge anywhere from galveston and houston all the way to new orleans and biloxi under storm surge watch. when you see this, though, i want you to know the westward shift of this track will continue. so 7 to 11 feet could start moving back toward houston and galveston. right now it is focused on southwestern louisiana but as far east as lake pontchartrain two to fewer feet. so big wind field going to be pushing toward the coast wednesday night and thursday and don't forget the rain.

executive producers as they try and i say try to prepare for tv's big night. >> we've seen so many different changes over the years with the emmys. we've seen no host, multiple hosts. this year we're taking it to a whole new level. tell us how you are adapting to this new world we're living in. >> it's an opportunity to look at award shows which were kind of due for reinvention and say, look, we'll take this crisis, do the show remotely and, you know, take a hard look on what's really necessary to break it into the 21st century and make it exciting for today's audiences. >> reporter: the emmys sent out 140 state of the art cameras to every nominee to appear live from the comfort of their own home. with 23 awards in total between three and eight nominees in eac be a massive technological feat. >> it isn't going to go right the whole time. things are going to go wrong. we've just got to be able to roll with it.

>> it doesn't mean that you can't have a big fashion statement. they can be in formal wear with a nice tuxedo, beautiful gown, or be in something funky and flashy and wild and crazy, or they can be in sweat clothes or they can be in their pajamas. we're good either way you want to go with it. >> just be in something. >> or not. up to the stage, will the speeches be allowed to be longer? >> no. >> i tried, all of you emmy winners. >> please play me off. i never had the chance to do this before. thank you. >> you guys given thought to the music that plays people off when they might get a little too wordy? >> we've talked about -- look, i have my favorite. eoe prefer theefer "jaws." from "psycho." we won't say what we'll do. >> reporter: jimmy kimmel returns as host for the third time. >> we're going to do things a

little bit differently this year. >> reporter: he will be live from the staples center, a massive venue that can accommodate covid regulations as well as a huge influx of live cameras and maybe a few surprises. >> what's interesting with jimmy as well is that obviously he knows what is going to hit and what will work and we're in a completely different environment. there is no live audience there to react to a joke, et cetera. things that might be funny when people can laugh along to them are not funny when people can't laugh along to them. his instinct to that has been really helpful. >> all of us better buckle up for an entertaining night and important night. there's been so much great tv and i think one thing we can all agree on is how comforting it has been to have the great performances and the great shows to get us through this very strange time. >> you know, it's the digital campfire. it's the one thing, you know, we can gather around and, you know, and connect with. so tv has really been that thing that has got us through a very unnatural time for us.

>> it's been really important for us. so, hey, let's go and celebrate. >> reporter: yes to that. and one thing that will be missing this year, the preshow and the red carpet but as you heard them say they want them to go for it and have fun with their outfits and with their families. they're encouraging all the winners to make it a family affair because you are at home. enjoy that moment. just please stay within that allotted time. their motto, 140 live cameras, what could go wrong? we'll find out when the prime time emmys happen september 20th right here on abc. >> looking forward to it. thank you. that's going to be fun. sharks barbara corcoran and mark cuban answering your questions.

>> is that about right, mark? would you agree with that, you're the guy? >> you know, i got to go with barbara. barbara's got the best attitude. worst at math. she makes everybody feel good, so i'm going with barbara. >> okay. >> have you guys thought about how you'd celebrate if you win? >> yeah, sure. you know what i'm doing, i'm inviting all my entrepreneurs that have signed up to watch it with me. they made their fortune on "shark tank," and so they love the show more than we do, and i'll hire my own red carpet, inviting family and friends and have a gorgeous dress coming from paris, and i'll have my own red carpet, and it's going to be fun. >> wow. you have thought about this. >> have you given it that much thought, mark? >> yeah, i'm going to sit in front of the tv in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and watch it with the family. >> kind of like now. >> i'll try to make it with that emmy trophy.

>> mark, i was giving you a hard time but wearing the t-shirt for us. your dallas mavericks are in the nba bubble putting on a show right now in the nba playoffs playing again tonight and luka is the guy. i mean, you know he is a superstar but he's really having a coming out party. what are your thoughts on what your team is doing and how the bubble is holding up? >> well first of all, the bubble has been incredible. so much credit to the staff of the nba and walt disney world, you know, and all the guys for really being professional and following all the protocols. but in terms of the basketball, it's been incredible. our game last night, the other night where luka beat the clippers on a last-second overtime buzzer beater was incredible. another game tonight, series is tied 2-2. you know, we're on a mission so hopefully we can pull this off so go, mavs. >> go, mavs. we want to tap into our brain trust for your business expertise. barbara, we've been talking about this for a long time now. these unemployment

paychecks/protections against evictions are expiring in a lot of the country. what is your best advice right now for folks who -- so many folks really struggling to make ends meet especially folks who might be worried about making their rent payments this month. >> it's a big worry out there, of course. the moratorium ended a full month ago already but in practice no one's being thrown out right now because the courts, i'm not hearing any of the judgment cases out there and there's no talk about when they'll do that so people could really take a breath in and feel more comfortable. but if you think that you're going to be late on your payments and you're struggling you should call your landlord early and be as transparent as you can. you can work out an agreement for rent reduction or slower payment program, remember, landlords don't want that apartment empty any more than you do and if you haven't had proof of unemployment, they will

take it seriously and work something out. >> the first question from arielle in brooklyn. let's listen to the question. >> i've been looking to maximize my streams of income. any advice on creating successful side hustles during the middle of an economic crisis? >> mark, you start us off. essentially trying to make some extra money. >> yeah, america's side hustle has become making it for your neighbors. not only do we need masks but you can't just use one. we need to cycle through. people want creativity. people want excitement or, you know, things that will keep them safe and be a little bit fun and so making makes for your neighborhood and getting out and selling them is really a great side hustle. the only thing i'd tell you to make sure you do, use the right materials because at the the day a mask is about

protecting your neighbors, so make sure you use materials that are going to be safe. >> barbara, what do you think? >> i'm thinking most businesses out there now are totally reliant on part-time workers. this is the new economy. i think it's smart as an individual to sit down and make a list of what you're good at. people sell themselves short. people have a lot more things they can do well than they think they do. make a list. if you're a good student and good at a subject, you can become a tutor. if you own a bike you can create a delivery route. if you're good at home improvement, everybody is stuck at home and everybody knows what's wrong with their house. if you're good at talking get on a line and run surveys or just be a service representative. people are willing to pay for it. if you list yourself on all the platforms out there you would be shocked at the work you will get. there's upwork. task grab and another half dozen i can't think of. there's tons of work out there. a side hustle is now the norm. >> side hustle the norm. another question for you from carlissa in chicago. she's worried about her catering company called purple ribbon chef. take a listen. >> my business was denied government assistance at the beginning of the pandemic. w with no one doing events advio

can get my company back on its feet? >> okay, barbara, we'll start with you this time. >> okay, well, the great things about about uncertain time is everybody is open to change. so bear that straight in front of your head, okay. caters are hard working people. you wouldn't be if you didn't like to work hard. you're well suited to shake things up a bit. think of yourself as in the food business, not the catering business and you need to think of a creative way to deliver your food. something new. it's an era of picnics right now and small gatherings versus large weddings so take advantage of the small outdoor gatherings people are having. they want great food and want it beautifully displayed, and if you're going into the winter and, i think you said you're in chicago, it's going to be the season of the pop-up restaurant so try to find out what you could hustle in on an empty store not collecting rent and see how else you can deliver your food.

think outside of the box you're used to being in. >> best quick tip. >> entertainment event business has been decimated and moved over to virtual. i would partner with as many companies that are doing virtual events as you can because even they want to have food delivered to their participants. i have a company alice's table doing virtual events for moms and mom entrepreneurs doing table settings and provide food. find companies doing virtual events and partner with them. >> one more question before we let you go. mark, you posted about starting taping for season 12. can't believe it's 12 seasons already. you guys are obviously following social distance rules. how is it going? what is different this time around? >> we certainly follow social distancing rules. we were in a bubble but the entrepreneurs also had to survive the bubble as well and had to quarantine for eight days before they presented to us and i got to tell you the deals were amazing. the companies were incredible.

they were big. you know, you have to have such a commitment to your business in order to quarantine for eight days that it just took us to a whole other level. season 12 when it premieres this fall will be incredible. >> we always sometimes thought some of you sharks could use distance between you. barbara, mark, good to see you. mark, good luck tonight. we will all watch the mavs and luka. our taste of tiktok series. we are talking to one chef who has tens of thousands of followers who love his amazing twists on classic dishes. ♪ make it pop

okay, so you're known for taking a classic dish and kicking it up and giving it a new twist and you've got some tips for us if we want to do a classic pasta dinner. kick it up to the next level. this seems like some pro stuff here talking about making your own pasta. >> so, yes, i want to start off with making pasta at home is way easier than you think. like there is nothing in this world i love more than fresh homemade pasta. but if you're not too careful you might end up with a clump of noodles like that and like that does not look good at all. so if you follow this tip, y'all can be making fresh gorgeous pasta at home. what you want to do is once yout to take just a generous amount of flour and drizzle it all over and then coat all the noodles with flour. this way they don't stick together when they're in the pot and you can get those long gorgeous strands of pasta. so a nice tip for those at home.

>> what is this now? they tell me -- it says the real secret to cutting basil. is there more to cutting basil that i don't know about? >> i mean, so to be honest there are lots of ways to cut basil but there's a very simple and easy -- it's really elegant too, way to cut basil. it's called chiffonade. you can google it. >> i'm going to going that because i think you just made it up. >> okay. you can see, but basically you want to take similar sized leaves and just roll them up on top of each other tightly. so, oops. get that little guy in there. and there you go. tight. go ahead and take a sharp knife and go right across nice and easy. >> that is gorgeous.
