it was moving and paint it over while it was still moving. >> no. "gma" starts now. good morning, america. staggering toll. this morning, the nation approaching an astonishing milestone. 500,000 american lives lost to the coronavirus, as the u.s. scrambles to get back on track in the race to vaccinate the country after those deadly winter storms delayed 6 million doses of the vaccine. and the news this morning about the millions of americans who already had the virus, what they need to know about the vaccine. this as dr. anthony fauci warns americans we might need to wear masks for another year. this morning, fauci joins us live with the latest. mid-air emergency. >> mayday, mayday. aircraft just experienced engine failure, need to turn immediately. >> boeing grounding more than a hundred of its planes after this engine fell apart over colorado, more than 200 terrified passengers on board seeing this right outside their window.

>> it's got a blown engine. oh, no. >> massive pieces of the aircraft falling to the ground below, crushing this truck and sending people running for their lives. federal investigators searching for answers this morning. disaster in texas. millions still without water, that deadly deep freeze bursting pipes. people waiting in long lines for help. also, a dramatic rescue caught on camera, an 11-year-old saved after falling through thin ice after a teen walking her dog spotted him. and the new outrage -- power now back for most, but with it sky-high energy bills. why some hard-hit families are being charged thousands of dollars. abc news exclusive. breaking his silence. the first capitol police officer to speak out about what happened inside the building during the insurgency. >> they had on tactical gear, bulletproof vests. they were ready to go. i was scared. i was absolutely scared. >> what happened when he came face to face with the mob, and

war, the vietnam war combined. 1 in every 656 americans taken too soon by this virus. >> it's so sobering to see all those faces and know there are so many more. dr. fauci is standing by to talk to us live. this as the race to vaccinate the nation ramps up. more than 43 million people in the u.s. have received at least one dose, that's roughly 13% of the population. eva pilgrim is at a mass vaccination site at jones beach, new york with the very latest after those big delays after those devastating storms. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this mass vaccination site at jones beach is fully booked today. ta a lk rone camera, you see the setup they have for the people arriving here early, but time is ticking for this site and sites across the country as they wait for the next vaccine shipments to arrive. playing catch-up, this morning a scramble to get a backlog of

vaccine doses delivered after winter storms caused major shipping delays. 6 million doses held up by the weather. that's about three days' worth of shipments. fedex and u.p.s. working through the weekend to get back on track. >> we've been able to get 2 million of those 6 million doses out. we expect to rapidly catch up this week, fill that backlog, make sure they're out to communities and also meet our deadlines and timelines of the doses due to go out this upcoming week. >> reporter: in new york, health department telling us they expect shipments to start arriving today. there are less than a thousand doses left due to the shipments that couldn't get here due to that weather. and that weather still affecting those down south in texas. cancelling appointments across the region. >> after having been through the week we've been through here, with no power and no water, the fact that the shot's not coming through, it's been a cascade of disasters. >> this as the first case of the south african variant has been

found in a new york state resident. that variant has been found in 12 states and washington, d.c. meanwhile, a new israeli study suggesting that one dose of the pfizer vaccine could be 85% effective in preventing symptomatic disease. however, health officials say more information is needed and for now, it's critical we stick to the current two-dose schedule. back out here at this mass vaccination site at jones beach people will begin lining up here soon and health officials are reminding people even if you've got both doses of the vaccine you should follow those cdc recommendations. wear a mask, social distance and wash your hands. michael? >> absolutely. do all those things. eva, thank you so much. as the nation ramps up efforts to vaccinate, families across the country are grappling with that serious toll. as we said, we're approaching that staggering milestone of 500,000 people. let's go to steve osunsami live

in atlanta with more on how we got to this tragic point. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. when we talk about 500,000 american lives lost roughly due to the coronavirus, we are talking about the sam population as this city, atlanta, home to the cdc directly behind me. one of the largest metro areas of the country, roughly the same populations as miami, minneapolis, oakland. we were standing right here a year ago talking about 57 people who were sick with the coronavirus. even the scientists at the time did not see the amount of death that was coming. 500,000 dead. a painful milestone this morning that even our top doctors could not imagine one year ago. >> i don't accept every day we're going to have to have 100,000 to 200,000 dead. i think we can bring that down. >> reporter: this is where we are today. the 500,000 americans who have

died are nearly double the estimates released by the white house last spring. it's now 1 out of every 656 americans. take a look at this timeline. you can see how the number of americans who died have added up. more than 250,000 alone since november. francesca was a single mother in birmingham, alabama, who was raising seven children of her own this time last year. in the fall the coronavirus took the lives of her younger sister and her sister's husband who themselves were the parents of five children. guess who is raising all 12 of those kids now. >> it's been an emotional roller coaster for me. i know without a shadow of a doubt my sister would have done it for me. >> reporter: ellen clinton and her family are still struggling on how unfair it feels to lose their youngest daughter to covid. the 20-year-old was hoping to become a pediatrician. >> she was the baby of the family. we were always there to help her. this time, it was the first time

we felt helpless. >> the most difficult thing that any mother should go through. >> reporter: fik michelle in new jersey, they've been treating sick patients as well as a sick family. three people of her family were treated at her hospital. her mother-in-law did not survive. >> my sister-in-law was so sick she couldn't even get out of bed to say good-bye to her own mother, and to think that you can be 20 feet away from your mom, the person you care for, and not be able to say good-bye. >> reporter: here at the cdc the scientists believe we could see another 59,000 deaths by the middle of next month. george? >> okay, steve. thanks very much. let's bring in president biden's chief medical adviser, dr. anthony fauci. dr. fauci, 500,000 americans. families grieving all across the country. did this have to be? >> certainly some of it, but not this bad, george. i mean, i believe if you look back historically we've done worse than most any other

country and we're a highly developed rich country. so there were things back then if you go back and think about what you might have done, the kind of dis prite responses of different states rather than having a unified approach, but you know, it's so tough to go back and try to do a metaphorical autopsy on things went. it was just bad. it is bad now. i think these numbers are so stunning. george, remember back in the late winter and early spring of 2020 when we were saying we could get as high as 240,000 and people were thinking, we were being hyperbolic about it and here we are with 500,000 deaths, just a stunning figure. the only thing that i would just encourage all of us is that rather than looking back and saying what the heck happened

here, just saying, now let's just go forward and be completely committed as a unified country to just go at this together. this is a common enemy. we've all got to pitch in. we're in some good shape now with the vaccines. but it's going to be a race against the infections that keep coming and our ability to do two things and do it well. one, continue to do the public health measures that we speak about all the time. the uniform wearing of masks, the physical distancing, avoiding congregated settings. at the same time, as we do everything we can to get vaccines into the arms of people as quickly and as efficiently as possible. that is the weapon that we have against this horrible disease. >> and we are ramping up the vaccines. explain these new studies that suggest people that have had covid may need only one dose of the vaccine. how solid is that science? what does it mean going forward? >> george, we need to look at

that data carefully, superficially looking at it, it looks quite impressive that if you have gotten infected and then get a single dose of the vaccine that the response you get is extraordinarily high. so when we look at all that data and analyze it, i mean, obviously always do that, when we get new data look at it and see if you can have some action items as a result of that. if it holds true, we're always open to considering that people who do get infected, they may only need one dose. you want to look at the data first before you make any policy decisions. >> i want to ask you about an article that got a lot of attention over the weekend "the wall street journal," by a doctor at johns hopkins. he says according to his studies we'll have herd immunity by april. he's now saying experts should level with the public about the good news.

your reaction to that? >> well, the numbers are coming down, george. when you look at the daily curves and the seven-day averages as you're showing on the screen there, it's dramatically down with a sharp deflection. we've got to be really careful and not just say, okay. we're finished now. we're through it. we have variants out there that can actually set us back. i mean, fortunately, the vaccines we are distributing now work well against the uk variant which looks like it's becoming more dominant in this country. we have the south african variant. it's not dominant. it looks like the 117 from the uk is going to take over as the dominant. we have a good vaccine against that. getting back to my comment a moment ago, george, that's more incentive to say, rather than even think about declaring victory and say, well, we have

herd immunity, we're in good shape, we've got to keep pushing and pushing because this thing could bounce back with the variants very, very quickly. we cannot declare victory because that curve is coming down so sharply. >> stay the course. dr. fauci, thank you for your time and your information. robin? >> stay the course indeed, george. you're right about that. we'll turn now to those urgent concerns this morning after that mid-air emergency, more than a hundred boeing jets grounded globally. this after an engine abroad an united airlines flight burst into flames just after takeoff in denver, sending debris raining down on hopes and in parks. gio benitez has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, the faa and japan's civil aviation bureau grounding all boeing 777s with a specific pratt & whitney engine. as the ntsb investigates how this 777 engine fell apart in mid air just after takeoff.

>> mayday, mayday. aircraft just experienced engine failure. >> reporter: the pilot calling a mayday at 13,000 feet. >> all of a sudden there was just a big boom and the ring around the engine flew off. >> reporter: 231 passengers aboard united 328 from denver to honolulu saturday, that terrifying site right outside their windows. overnight, the ntsb saying two fan blades on the engine were fractured. you can see a broken fan blade in this image. brenda was with her family on the plane. >> my daughter, we held hands and i started praying. we held each other really close. at one point i turned to talk to her and i could see debris flying out our window and i kind of told her, you know, let's not look outside. >> reporter: on the ground massive pieces of metal falling on to neighborhoods. some running away, trying to avoid getting hit by pieces falling out of the sky. >> it's got a blown engine. oh, no! >> reporter: hundreds of people calling 911. >> it almost landed on my head. >> reporter: the operators overwhelmed. >> 911. are you calling about the

airplane incident? we're getting blown up with 911 calls. >> reporter: this giant piece falling on kirby clemmons' lawn, crushing his truck. >> i stood up and looked out the window, and said, oh, no, that's the front part of the airplane. r incredibly no injuries on the ground, or on the plane. the pilots landing denver. that specific engine now taking center stage. >> what the ntsb wants to look at is there evidence of a pre-existing issue with that engine. >> reporter: united airlines has new grounded 52 of its airplanes, and this morning, boeing tells us it supports the decision to suspend the 777s with that specific engine. >> we're happy they landed safely, gio, thank you so much. now to the disaster in texas, conditions are starting to improve, power's back to nearly everyone and the boil water order has been lifted in houston, but millions of people are still without safe drinking water after historic low temperatures sparked chaos statewide.

in fort worth ty williams was charged $17,000. >> we were held hostage really with our rate that we were working with. it was really crazy. >> reporter: some bills like his due in part to the state's unregulated energy market, when energy demands increase like last week so do your bills, and the state's governor says addressing these bills is now a top priority. >> texans who have suffered through days of freezing cold without power should not be subjected to sky-rocketing energy bills due to a spike in the energy market. >> reporter: last week's storms claimed dozens of lives. among the youngest christian pineda, his family now filing a $100 million lawsuit. ercot has not seen the lawsuit, but said they will respond cordn to thesuffering,

>> we were told to get helmets, riot helmets. that was new. >> no sense that all hell could break loose? >> correct. >> reporter: the 13-year veteran seen here watched as the crowd of thousands closed in on the east side of the capitol. >> you see a sea of people, trump flags, confederate flags, then thin blue line flags, don't tread on me flags. then you look down and you see officers fighting with these people with pepper spray, smoke grenades, pepper balls being thrown by everybody. flash bangs. we fought with these people who were prepared for a fight. they had on gas masks. they had on body armor. they had on two-way radios. they had on tactical gear, bullet proof vests. they were ready to go. >> when you see that level of

preparedness, did that surprise you? did it scare you? >> i was scared. i was absolutely scared. i'm on this platform. i'm a big guy. i'm 6'7". i'm this giant person and we had our guns out and i'm thinking, all these people out there, they're armed too. i'm like, i'm going to get shot. they're going to take me out. i remember at one point i said, how is this going to end? >> reporter: eventually the mob forced its way inside the capitol building. officer dunn confronted a group carrying a blue lives matter flag. >> i said we got dozens of officers down. dozens of officers down and you got the nerve to be holding a blue lives matter flag. i thought they were going to have a moment where they came to and they realized, you know, what are we doing? and they snapped out of it, but they said, no. we're doing this for you.

we're doing this for you. and as one of the guys kept walking by, one of them pulled out his badge and he said, trust me. i understand. we're doing this for you, buddy. he's got a badge. he shows me his badge. >> what did you think? a fellow officer -- >> you got to be kidding me. you got to be kidding me. >> reporter: exhausted, officer dunn tried reasoning with a large group of protesters approaching a hallway he was guarding. >> i literally told them if they want to get through here you got to go through me and they didn't -- they just started talking to me. they were saying how joe biden did not win the election, and nobody voted for him. so i took the bait, and i -- okay. what about me? i voted for joe biden. does my vote not count? >> reporter: this is when officer dunn encountered a couple in the crowd who started hurling vile racial slurs at

him. >> his girlfriend, she had on a pink maga shirt. she started staying hey this [ bleep ] voted for joe biden. hey, everybody, this [ bleep ] voted for joe biden. they said you [ bleep ]. >> the crowd joined? >> everybody. everybody joined in with them. >> even defending the capitol, and somehow race seeped into that too. >> everybody wants to say that it was about politics and everything. but it was a large number of people in that crowd that were racists. >> did the people who were there tell you why they were there? >> we're stopping the steal. according to them, they were doing it for us. they were doing us a favor, according to those terrorists. >> you're very precise, you used the word terrorists. >> absolutely. absolutely. it wasn't just a mob or a bunch of thugs, you know. they were terrorists. they tried to disrupt this country's democracy. that was their goal. you know what, y'all failed. >> reporter: but five people

lost their lives that day including capitol police officer brian sicknick. after the capitol had been cleared officer dunn had his first chance to reflect on what he had witnessed. >> it's just a cloud of smoke, water bottles, broken flagpoles. everything in the rotunda just laying on the floor. >> the rotunda? >> the rotunda. >> the pinnacle of american democracy. >> american democracy, and all this stuff is there. i sat down with a good friend of mine, i said, is this america? what the hell just happened? i told him, i was called a [ bleep ] a couple dozen times today, protecting this building. is this america? they beat police officers with blue lives matter flags. they fought us. they had confederate flags in the u.s. capitol. they stormed the speaker's office.

they went through their sensitive documents. they were trying to assassinate the vice president, in the capitol. >> what's the gamut of emotions? >> i've got angry. i've got sad. i've got hurt. even just during this interview, i'm getting angry now. i don't mind talking about it. that's how i get through it. >> reporter: dunn has nothing but praise for his fellow officers including eugene goodman who was seen on camera shielding the unguarded senate floor, and directing senator mitt romney away from that mob of protesters. >> there were dozens of eugene goodmans that day, dozens. eugene got caught on camera. i'm not surprised he did the right thing, the brave thing, the heroic thing. he deserves everything that he's getting, but there were so many eugene goodmans that weren't caught on camera that day, and i'm proud to work with them. >> pierre, that's so powerful. officer dunn reminds us of just how horrifying that day was. how is he doing now?

>> reporter: george, officer dunn and his fellow brothers and sisters of the capitol police are still healing on so many levels. trying to overcome a day now seared in their memories. as you can see from the interview, it's going to take some time. >> boy, it sure is. pierre, that's really something. you can see more of pierre's exclusive interview tonight on "world news" and across our abc platforms, including the premiere of our series "soul of a nation." >> you could really feel his emotions still. >> you could. coming up next, alex trebek's legacy. his son matt tells us about the "jeopardy!" host's commitment to charity, and how the donation of his suits will help so many. s s. to history. and how his donation of suits will help so many. vited you in. it's my life and this is my journey. i've found a way to do things differently with ocrevus, an infusion treatment that's 2-times-a-year. for adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective

fears were unfounded. having so much of the original cast members back. was there a lot of reminiscing on the set, arsenio? yeah. i held john too long when i first saw him. it's interesting, robin, that you mentioned that you were worried. eddie has more confidence than i do. we went to get coffee one day and as we were leaving the barista said, don't mess up my movie, i'm like, whoa. >> robin's been raving about it all morning. we can't wait to see it and we want to give everyone a sneak peek right now. >> soon they will assassinate me. i have a child on the other side of the world. >> take heart in your grief, you're king now, be as your father, bark orders at me, throw things at me, it will make you happy.

>> prepare the royal jet. we are going back to america. >> oh, hell no, your majesty. >> not exactly what you meant when you gave him that advice i can imagine this was so much fun, but i heard there was one scene that you shot with eddie that was painful, literally painful, what happened? >> well, you know, when you work with wesley snipes, he's a brilliant fighter and a stuntman along with being a great actor. eddie's only a great actor, and when we did this one stunt, he's supposed to pretend to kick me, and the stuntman later will do the kicking and make the noises, but he slipped and he kicked me really hard. he kicked me so hard, the next day his foot was sore.

we had a ball. we had a good time. they shouldn't have paid me for this one, but i'm glad they did. >> you had five different characters in the movie, did you have a favorite in. >> yes. i liked the one with the least amount of stuff on your face. a shaman and witch doctor, that's a six-hour makeup job. anything less than that one, i'm happy. >> we're happy with all of them, and we're so happy that in recent years you returned to doing some standup, and you had planned on continuing that, and in t then the pandemic happened. so as soon as we get through this, do you want to get back on the road again doing some standup? >> i'd love to. the plan was, with all the comics in "coming 2 america" i thought that it would be a great way to promote the movie but when man makes plans god giggles.

it didn't quite work it. i wanted to also do it so eddie could have a place to start do five or ten minutes here or there, and get back binto it. i thought that would be a great thing. >> that's a great idea. i have to tell people, you need to stay and watch through the credits because the outtakes and we saw there eddie kind of gets you, he's not a stunt person, was there a lot of improvising on set? >> yes, as a matter of fact, the clip you just showed, robin, he said to semmi, he said we're going back to america and there was one entire piece of the script where i say, we could hire a detective, your majesty. we don't have to go. we can have facetime, and i give him all -- he says, stop it, semmi, and we're going back to america, and the scene played that way. he says, give me one more take. just say hell no. i said you're the star and the

producer. i said, oh, hell no, your majesty. that ended up staying in the movie. >> i tell you, i mean, outtakes as the credits roll, and then there's a bonus at the end, somebody singing queen. that's all i'm going to say. >> you watched eddie's family grow up, his kids, and how was it to have his youngest daughter, bella, on the set with you guys? >> it was incredible. i got to do a fight scene with her. i'm so proud of her, she's been waiting for this moment. she's been studying and taking classes and eddie made her audition for this, he didn't give it to her, he made her read for this. >> we'll be checking it out. we're so happy you're on the show this morning. arsenio, as always, good to see you. robin.

our man, arsenio, "coming 2 america" it premieres on amazon prime video on march 5th. coming up, how to go from underestimated to unstoppable with a ceo who is going to tell us how she did it. go

we're back now, we got some monday motivation for you.

from the self-made founder of the billion-dollar brand it cosmetics and author of "believe it" how to go from underestimated to unstoppable. we say good morning to my dear friend, jamie kern lima, it's coming out tomorrow, i can't believe it's here, we've been talking about for some time. jamie, we met years ago, we were seat mates on a plane. that's how we met, and you were building your business at the time, and to see where it has gone, and what you are doing now, but there was something about you. what is your secret to believing it? >> robin, thank you so much for having me. yeah, so many people know this for this success story of the cosmetics. really my story is a girl who went from not believing in herself to learning how, not trusting herself to learning how, and, you know, i think first of all, every single person watching right now can learn to believe in themselves. it's really why i wrote this

book, and i think we're all coming out of a really tough season, right? we're going through the tough season with the pandemic, and so many of us have been dimming our light, and i just want to say, anyone watching right now, like, that light is still inside of you, and it's possible to ignite it. it's time to ignite it and start doing it again, even if it's for the first time, or for the first time in a long time, and it's time, robin. it's time for all of us. >> you went about it so organically, part of the beauty of your story, you had a skin condition, you couldn't find any makeup to help, so you created it. as someone going through this pandem pandemic, how do you find your purpose like you did, jamie? >> yeah, i think the number one thing to do is really just to get still and learn to hear your own gut. your own intuition. right now if you just do it for a second, you probably know if you are in the right job or not, or in the right friendship or relationship or not, and i think that it's so important to do

that, and robin, a lot of people put pressure on themselves that their job or their career has to be their purpose, but it doesn't. your job is what pays the bills. what fills your soul, what would you do for free, maybe it's a hobby that you need to take up again, maybe it's starting to paint again and giving your paintings away for free or going on a morning walk and telling an elderly neighbor hello every morning. any of those things can be your purpose. it's what fills your soul, and is your highest expression to the world. >> many of us, we have dreams. how do you turn your dream into a reality though, jamie? >> a few quick tips. lot of businesses, robin, have a why or a mission, for real people have a mission or a goal but we forget we need a real why behind it. so getting a why and attaching it to a dream makes it so much more likely to happen. asking for help, hard for so many people to do this.

i talk about my own journey in the book,and finding out i was adopted and not being able to carry a pregnancy. i had to learn. i don't need help. independent is a badge of honor. i learned that actually be a deep-seeded fear. feeling like we're not worthy, and so asking for help is huge, whether it's through therapy or faith, or asking for a friend to show up for you the way you would show up for them, and another big one. this is huge, robin. knowing when to let go of a dreep, rig dream, right? it's as important as knowing when to go after one, right? we live in a culture, don't quit. i don't think that's the victory. i think the victory is listening to your gut and go, oh. is this the dream i'm supposed to let go of, or is this the dream i'm supposed to go after? so really being able to listen to your gut, is everything.

>> with have viewers sending in these wonderful words that they believe, faith, patience, it's also about self-talk. i'll give you a word, you're big about transformation. so if someone is saying setback, what do you say? >> robin, i say setup. what if our setbacks, reframe that as our setups, i'm getting stronger right now, i'm building closer connections with family and i'm going to dream again. >> okay, different, what do you say if someone says different? >> i say authentic. so many times we feel like we need to schachange who we are tt in. your authenticity is your superpower. >> all right, time for one more. perfect way to end. doubt it. what do you say? >> doubt it, i say you can go from doubting it to believing

it. it's really why i wrote "believe it." and everyone can learn to believe it. we're all in a season of doubt right now, but we definitely can believe. i believe in you, robin. >> right back at you. you could have gone anywhere, and you're so grateful. you have been so good us to over the years. thank you, thank you, thank you so much, jamie. "believe it" is out tomorrow, but today though, check out jamie's free confidence-building virtual event. i think i'm on with you at 11:00 a.m. >> yes, we're going live, i'm so excited. everyone needs help and inspiration. we're going to deliver it, robin. >> already hundreds of thousands have signed up. hope you'll join us. now ginger, good morning again. >> all right, robin, we know what we're doing at 11:00. but let's talk about this, some nail-biting video. at least for most of us. if you are a ski pro, i guess this is the norm, but look at this video out of mammoth, just

right on the edge. this guyou wt to attempt this if you are brand-new to the mountain, but from mammoth back to the pacific rt warnings, blizzard warnings, gusts close to 90 miles an hour in montana. good morning. we're off to a serene start on this monday, one apromises temperatures even warmer than yesterday. a few 70s inland. most of the day after the lunch hour we'll be in the 60s. even warmer tomorrow, coming up, the secret ingredient to put a tasty new spin on your favorite dishes. we're going to eat. come on back. r favorite dishes. we're

people are sprinkling it on everything from breakfasts to desserts. jake cohen the author joins us with a take on how to use the mix. thanks for joining us this morning, and jake, tell us first of all, you make your own seasoning home made. >> yes, for sure. i mean, i've been guilty of getting the bottled stuff in the past. you can add in more flavor. start off with a quarter cup of sesame seeds. toast them to bring out the flavor. another quarter of cup of poppyseeds. as well as three tablespoons of dried minced garlic and flakey sea salt and pepper. and last but not least, not really traditional, the origins of the everything bagel, i throw in black pepper. add crushed red pepper or

whatever your heart desires. stir it up. >> next up a sweet take of a desert on bagels and cream cheese. >> i have some new york style cheesecake here. we're so used to everything bagels with cream cheese. what about it on cheesecake. somehow savory ingredients on sweet is blasphemy, but no more. sprinkle it on top. >> it looks pretty good. you're also jazzing up a salad. >> yes, i mean, i think no matter what you can amp up your salad dressing with everything bagel seasoning. this is just a simple vinaigrette of olive dijon mustard with whatever vinegar you like the onion and the garlic are going to rehydrate. to me it takes it to the next level and makes the salad more special. >> that's working. now the main course. >> you got to have a steak. so this is like the jewish version of a french steak house,

and you think of that, like, peppercorn crust. i'm going tototo thr -- be throwing on this everything bagel seasoning, and it'll add in fortification of that nice crust, and also onion and garlic on steak. what better combo can you think of? and it's got flakey salt and black pepper. >> okay, you've got to sell this last one. everything bagel ice cream. >> yes, so, let me explain. a few weeks ago, jenny's an incredible ice cream company out of ohio, came out with this cream cheese ice cream -- it seems it wouldn't work but it went viral. but it does. like i said, let's normalize adding savory ingredients to sweet dishes. i'll drizzle on a little bit of olive oil too. i love that acidity that it has, and it helps everything stick together. now you have a full meal. i know it's early, but you have to eat the steak and ice cream and cheesecake.

what better way to start the day? >> it work and it does. it's fat, it's flavor. it all comes together. one of those things as soon as you get your mind out i shouldn't be having garlic with dessert, it just comes together. it's an interesting way to take one seasoning and make it last throughout the meal. >> it works. >> verdict, thumbs up. >> all right. >> we all love salty sweet. the best combo there is, am i right? >> you're right, jake. you sold it. thanks a lot. you can get the recipes on goodmorningamerica.com. and we'll be right back. goodmorningamerica.com. and we'll be right back.

so you're a small business, or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business.

great day on the lake! it is. lunch is cookin'! and i saved a bunch of money on my boat insurance with geico. fellas, can it get any better than this? whoa! my old hairstyle grew back. so did mine. [80's music] what? i was an 80's kid. it only gets better when you switch and save with geico.

to all the parents, what if you had to say yes to everything? i mean, everything your kids ask for for 24 hours straight. could you do it? >> "gma" wants you to take the yes day challenge. don't say this to your kids. >> no. >> instead, say -- >> just say yes. >> post your pictures or videos to #gmayesday. >> and you might just see it right here on "gma." say yes to "good morning america." >> sponsored by netflix. we say yes to jennifer garner. i follow her online, great. lty eet.
