close encounter. what went zooming past the spacex rocket crew dragon just 12 minutes after the astronauts reached space? the search for answers this morning. we do say good morning, america, and we appreciate you starting your tuesday morning with us. >> hope you are doing well. let's take a live look at the white house right now where president biden is going to address the nation this afternoon about the state of the country's response to the pandemic. right now the cdc says that nearly 141 million americans have received at least one dose of the vaccine. population.of the adult - dr. jha will join us in just a moment. and this morning, we're also awaiting new guidance from the cdc on wearing masks outdoors. abc's eva pilgrim is at a mass -- in brooklyn, new york, with the latest. good morning, eva.

>> reporter: good morning. with nearly 96 million americans fully vaccinated and more people spending time outside because the weather is nicer, we are expecting new guidance from the cdc as far as masking outdoors and that could look different for people who are fully vaccinated. from rhode island to nashville, officials have already started to lift outdoor mask rules. one study showing less than 10% of covid infections occur outside. public health experts agree that masks are crucial indoors especially in crowded spaces with poor ventilation, but only 25 states currently have statewide mask mandates. now, officials still maintain that vaccines remained the most crucial tool to getting us back to normal. michael. >> eva, the challenge now is getting people to take the vaccines. some states are offering special incentives. >> reporter: that's right, michael. the governor of west virginia is offering a $100 savings bond to anyone 16 to 35 who gets the vaccine and west virginia really targeting those younger people and that's because the governor

says he thinks they are critical to the state getting to their goal of 70% vaccinated. >> eva, we've seen the dire situation in india and elsewhere abroad where covid is spreading rampantly. the u.s. has been facing calls to do more and now the biden administration is jumping in to help. >> reporter: yes, michael, the u.s. is expected to manufacture and share some 60 million doses of astrazeneca, about 10 million of those doses should be ready pretty soon but we have not heard where those doses will be sent and keep in mind the fda has to sign off. a quality control for any doses before they leave the u.s. michael. >> all right, eva, thank you so much for that. george. >> thanks, michael. we're joined now by dr. ashish jha. dean of the brown university school of public health. welcome back, dr. jha. let's pick up where eva left off. you've been sounding the alarm about the situation in india. the biden administration is now stepping up ppe and vaccines will be sent. what more needs to be done? what are the consequences if we

don't? >> yeah, good morning, george. thanks for having me on. things in india really terrible situation. we really need to help. other countries are also stepping up, oxygen is necessary, medicines, testing kits. there's a whole set of things that india needs. in the short run. we have to help them get it under control. if it spirals out of control in india it's going to be horrible for india and will have huge implications for the whole world. >> let's talk about the situation here at home. we know the cdc is going to put out that guidance on outdoor mask mandates. what makes sense right now? >> yeah, i think we're going to see a pulling back of the mandates. i think certainly when you're outside, out and about, unless you're in large crowded groups, there's really very little risk of being outdoors so i think the cdc is going to signal that. i think we're going to see a lot of states pull back mask mandates except for specific situations. indoor masks need to continue

for a little bit longer but i think it makes sense to pull back the outdoor mask mandates. >> on vaccinations we're getting to the hard part now, just getting to that -- the population that just doesn't want to get that vaccine. people skipping their second dose. what's the best way to reach those people who are still hesitant? >> yeah, george, my sense is there's a lot of people out there who are okay to get the vaccine, but it's still hard to get it for them. they still feel like they have to jump through hoops or they have to sign up in a way that's not easy, so i think the ground game right now has to be all about making it super, super easy for people to get vaccinated. vaccines sent to doctors' offices, walk-in clinics, you should be able to just pop into your local cvs or walgreens and get it. there's a lot of work, and then of course, we still have to do the messaging of addressing concerns people have. if we continue working on those things i bet a whole lot more people will get vaccinated. a vast majority of americans will end up getting vaccinated. >> what about paying people to get vaccines like we're seeing

in west virginia? >> it's a creative idea. i hadn't thought that we would need to but there are some people for whom it could be the inducement, and so i'm totally fine it with. there's clearly a huge social benefit of getting vaccinated, good for you and others. if there's payment involved in it, i think it's probably fine. >> dr. jha, thanks for your time and your information this morning. >> thank you. now to the latest on the fatal police shooting of andrew brown jr. his family says they were only shown 20 seconds of the police body cam footage and that he was shot with his hands on the steering wheel of his car. victor oquendo is in elizabeth city, north carolina, which is in a state of emergency this morning. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we spoke with andrew brown jr.'s son still shaken after watching that video over and over again searching for answers. he tells us that the portion he saw started with deputies firing on his father, not the moments that led up to the shooting. this family's fight for transparency is far from over. >> say his name. >> reporter: for the sixth day in a row, protesters taking to

the streets of downtown elizabeth city, north carolina, demanding answers and accountability. it's been nearly a week since andrew brown jr. was shot and killed by deputies and his family still feels left in the dark telling us they were promised they'd see the body cam video showing brown's final moments, but were only shown 20 seconds from a single camera even though there were multiple deputies at the scene wearing body cameras. describe it. what did you see in those 20 seconds? >> an execution. we see his hands on the steering wheel before -- while they were shooting actually. >> reporter: brown's family saying he was shot in the back of the head and they're calling for transparency. >> they selectively edited a video, cut it down to 20 seconds, showed us what they wanted to show us, and blurred out the faces of the officers. >> reporter: facing mounting pressure, the pasquotank county attorney filing a motion in

court asking for the full release of the body camera footage. under north carolina law, a judge has to approve the release. >> those people who claim the sheriff's office has the ability to release either don't know north carolina law or they are trying to purposely inflame a tragic situation. >> body cameras e shaky and sometimes hard to decipher. they only tell part of the story. >> reporter: according to the search warrant application, authorities believe brown was using his home and two vehicles to store, package and distribute narcotics. the family's attorney says no weapons or drugs were found at brown's car or in his house at the time. seven sheriff's deputies have been placed on administrative leave. later this morning, brown's family and legal team will release results of an independent autopsy. michael. >> all right, thank you, victor. we're going to go to washington now where the doj has announced it is investigating the louisville police department in the aftermath of the 2020 shooting of breonna taylor. this comes just days after the justice department said it was looking into the minneapolis police department following the derek chauvin verdict. it's all part of a sharp change

in policy by the biden administration. abc's rachel scott is at the justice department with the details. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: michael, good morning. we already know of that criminal investigation looking into the shooting and the death of breonna taylor. now the justice department taking it one step further launching an investigation into the entire police department there in louisville, kentucky. we are told that this will be sweeping, looking into all areas and aspects of the department, ranging from training to use of force, to the execution of search warrants, and whether or not race plays a factor. we know that it was a no-knock warrant executed on breonna taylor's home last march. officers shooting and killing the 26-year-old inside of her home during that botched police raid. no narcotics were found, only one officer has been charged in connection to that raid but not a single officer has been charged with homicide. this investigation by the justice department, though, is sending a strong message about police oversight. during the trump administration

over the course of four years only one investigation was launched like this. now under president joe biden this is the second investigation in just one week launched by the attorney general looking into a police department, the first there in minneapolis, minnesota, after derek chauvin was found guilty of killing george floyd, george. >> rachel, thanks very much. we're going to go to california now where it appears the effort to recall governor gavin newsom will go forward. 1.6 million people have signed a petition to remove him from office but a majority of the state's voters say they oppose the recall. matt gutman is in los angeles with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: george, good morning. it's really a combination of factors led newsom to this point, first republican backlash at democrats' power in the state, but also voter frustration at some of the restrictions imposed by governor newsom over covid. now finds himself in a fight for his political survival. this morning, california's governor gavin newsom facing that republican-led effort to oust him from office. on monday the state announcing

the recall effort easily topped the 1.5 million verified voter signatures necessary to trigger a special election likely this fall. this time a year ago at the start of the pandemic, newsom jumped out as an early hero. >> this next phase that is required under the circumstances to advance a proclamation of a state of emergency in the state of california. >> reporter: the first governor to declare a covid emergency but he has since earned the frustration of some voters over state-mandated restrictions. >> we want to manipulate those numbers down. that's what this order is all about. >> reporter: and then, in november of last year, newsom seen maskless at a dinner at one of the nation's most exclusive restaurants, french laundry, the recall gathering steam since and new facecluding caitlyn jenner who announced with this tweet, i'm in. newsom has sought to counter recall momentum by touting the

state's recent covid success tweeting, the state's positivity rate is the best in the country and that the light at the end of the tunnel is bright. if he is ousted, newsom would be only the second governor in state history to be recalled after arnold schwarzenegger unseated gray davis in 2003. now getting the necessary signatures for a recall and actually getting voters to the poll to oust governor newsom is an entirely different. he won in historic landslide in 2018 and is likely but not certain to prevail again. robin. >> we'll see what happens, matt. thank you. now to the high-stakes political power shift from the results of the 2020 census. some states are set to gain congressional seats while others will lose seats. our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega has those details for us. she's in the white house, good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hi, robin. good morning. this was one of the most complicated head counts given

the pandemic and the trump administration's push to not have undocumented immigrants counted. the reason these numbers are so important is they'll end up determining how more than a trillion federal dollars gets allocated and how you saw those congressional maps get drawn. the big impact, red states are basically going to pick up several seats. democrats, blue states, could potentially lose some, and ultimately, this could impact the midterm elections. i want to show you another map, take a look. texas -- you'll see it there - will pick up two seats in the house, florida, north carolina, colorado, oregon, montana, they'll get one more seat. on the flip side there, though, for the first time in history california loses a seat. new york, illinois, pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, west virginia, those important rust belt states are all going to drop a seat as well. new york -- listen to this - if just 89 more residents had responded to the census, they would not be losing that seat. robin, there are big questions this morning about whether latinos accurately participated in this census by the trump administration, some concerns they may have been scared off by the political ramifications there. >> what a shift.

all right, cecilia, thank you. michael. >> thank you, robin. now to apple's privacy game changer. rolling out brand-new features that allows users to limit how much of their data is tracked by big apps. rebecca jarvis has the story and joins us with more. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning. yeah, it is a game changer that many privacy advocates say is long overdue. the new policy means you'll have more control over how much data and information you share with companies like facebook and google from your iphone. this morning, tech giant apple announcing a new way to keep your information safe. >> when you're using apps on your iphone you may start to see this. >> reporter: the new app tracking transparency prompt giving iphone users the power. >> it's a feature that gives you a choice. a choice on how apps use and share your data. >> reporter: allowing iphone users to choose whether facebook and google can track their data, things like spending habits and browsing history, even when they're not using the apps. that data can be sold to

advertisers and used to send you targeted ads. >> apple is responding to a real consumer desire for privacy. they're the first of many that are going to make this transition to better protecting privacy. >> reporter: but while users will have more privacy protection, experts say the move could also hurt small businesses that benefit from targeted ads. >> for many small business, they advertise through these apps. companies are being provided information about you and what you like and so it's a problem for them and to be honest, from the consumer's standpoint it may be even harmful to you. because on one hand, you want to prevent people from knowing too much about you, but at the same time it's kind of nice when you get things that you are interested in. >> reporter: some real considerations there now. this new feature will automatically update on your phone with the ios 14.5 update. there isn't anything you have to do, but you will start to see these prompts, things like allow facebook to track your activity

outside of its app and inside of other companies and other websites, so, guys, the new chages here is that you have to opt in to having your privacy taken away as opposed to opt out of it. it used to be there was all standard. you just actually gave away that data without considering it. now you get an option. guys? >> big change. >> big change. another milestone for lebron james. take a look at this. that's his rookie card from the cleveland cavaliers. there it is right there sold for $5.2 million. oh, michael is jealous again. >> no, i'm not jealous. i'm mad i don't have one, george. i want -- i wish i had a card. i'm not jealous. >> $2.25 million, and now it's lebron james. >> these athletes. >> why do we keep insisting on ruin michael's morning first thing? [ laughter ] we are following a lot of

other headlines this morning, including that close encounter for the spacex rocket and the four astronauts inside. the search for answers this morning. that's ahead. first, we say good morning to ginger. ginger? >> and every time -- hey, good morning, everybody. every time i see one of those cards i buy one of yours, michael. i promise. anywhere from nebraska down to texas, alpine, texas, included in the red flag warnings. look at this fire video, this is from new mexico, so we have some serious fire concerns, three rivers fire, 4,000 acres, mandatory evacuations in place and also that flag fire is still going. the evacuations there. that's 1,400 acres, 0% contained. let's get to the tuesday trivia now sponsored by audible.

head line about women, money and the pandemic. a year in a quarter of women say they are financially worse off a year into the crisis than before it began part of a new poll. so many are shouldering child care responsibilities during the past year as schools and day cares were shut down. the poll also finds that more than one in five american families say their finances have worsened in the past year. and take a look at this frightening scene on a texas highway. this car exploding on the side of the road. fortunately no one was injured. firefighters rushing to put out the flames. public safety officials say the owner of the car did everything right calling authorities early enough to prevent more damage. and did you guys catch this incredible pink supermoon last night? supermoons look bigger and brighter because they're slightly closer to earth and even though it looks pink it's not actually a different color. if you missed it last night, the next supermoon is on may 26th. how beautiful is that? you learn something new every day.

>> absolutely. >> yeah. >> sorry, sorry, sorry. >> go ahead, robin. we got a lot more ahead, michael. >> yes, we do, including that mysterious close encounter for the spacex rocket minutes after takeoff. you see that's debris or whatever that is flying past the rocket. we also have a "gma" exclusive. the new data showing a huge spike in used car sales and the hidden gold mine that could be in your driveway right now. that is coming up, robin. >> becky worley will have that for us. but we continue right now with that public school free speech case in the u.s. supreme court. after a high school cheerleader sounded off on snapchat, about not making the school's varsity squad, some calling this one of the most important free speech cases in decades. t.j. holmes has that story for us. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: all right, robin. an upset 14-year-old dropped a few "f" bombs on social media. are we really going to make a federal case out of that? well, actually, yeah. it could set a precedent for

every public school student in this country, what they can and can't say and a precedent for how schools can punish and protect students. as a 14-year-old high school freshman brandi levy tried out for the varsity cheerleading squad but didn't make the cut, the frustrated teen did what so many teenagers do, express themselves on social media. in her case her anger on snapchat posting this message on a saturday off school property. >> i said it was f school, f cheer, f softball, f everything. >> reporter: but days later, her public school told her she was suspended from cheerleading even for the junior varsity team for a year for violating a code of conduct. >> i feel when i signed this code of conduct i didn't sign away my first amendment rights, so i feel that i should be able to say what i want out of school hours and if it's not during the school activity. i was not directing towards any coaches. i didn't have the school's name in it. i didn't have coach's name or

any teammates' names in it. >> reporter: now, four years later, the snapchat post and levy's punishment are at the center of a supreme court case. >> this is an incredibly important case for the free speech rights of young people in this country. any speech that's controversial or could be perceived as offensive when it happens in school can be punished if it causes a disruption, but that is exactly the kind of speech we protect outside of school. >> reporter: after filing suit two lower federal courts ruled in her favor ordering she be allowed to rejoin her jv team. a federal appeals court affirmed decision saying a school's authority to enforce the rules does not apply off campus. >> i wasn't happy that the school stepped outside their boundaries into my home and took disciplinary action on my daughter. for something that happened on a weekend in my time. >> reporter: but the school district which declined abc news' request for comment, argues in court documents that the first amendment is not a territorial straitjacket that forces schools to ignore speech that disrupts the school environment just because

students launched that speech from five feet outside the gate. school leaders also argue that this could impact efforts to protect kids from cyberbullying. >> this is so important because it has implications not just for school leaders in pennsylvania but across the nation to be able to provide for the safety and welfare of students and their schools. >> stra, you hear there where schools are concerned. what if a student is sending unwanted messages to another student, something harassing and well, they go to the school for help and they say, hey, the messages were sent off campus, so there's nothing we can do about it. that's the issue about possibly protecting students. the young lady in this case, she's now in college but the oral arguments are expected before the supreme court on wednesday. >> all right, thank you, t.j. we'll dig deeper and bring in our legal analyst dan abrams, and, dan, this is being called the most significant case of student free speech in 50 years. so from a legal and possible

precedent-setting standpoint how big of a deal is this case? >> well, it depends on how broad the supreme court goes. it could be an enormous case if the supreme court issues a sweeping ruling about this free speech rights of students when they're off of school grounds. on the other hand, though, the court could decide this very narrowly as the supreme court often does and says, you know what, we're not going to get into the big picture issues but we're going to make a very specific ruling on the facts here. that's going to be the big question to look for. >> and there's one wrinkle in this case, is that when the student joined the squad, she agreed not to be publicly critical of the team and not to use vulgar language. how can that play a role in the court's decision? >> yeah, that code of conduct that she agreed to could be the out for the court. meaning, the court could say, you know, this isn't a case about a student who got thrown out of school. this is a case simply about a student who had the privilege of being on the cheerleading squad

and was suspended for a year because she had agreed to this specific language. that's a possible out for the court here if it doesn't want to issue a really broad, sweeping ruling. >> if the court rules against the school board, could that impact efforts to combat cyberbullying? >> yeah, it could. if it's a broad ruling, it absolutely could. but, remember, if the court in the end says that schools really don't have a significant interest or ability to monitor, punish students for speech made off of the school grounds, well, then that could impact cyberbullying. but i'd be surprised if the court issues a ruling that broad that would prevent school districts from taking any action against cyberbullying, harassment, threats of violence, et cetera. >> we'll definitely keep our eyes on this decision. dan abrams, thank you so much as always. george?

we move on now to that mysterious close encounter. this debris caught flying past the spacex rocket just minutes after liftoff last week. transportion por correspondent gio benitez is tracking the story. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning. the internet lighting up with questions over this video. did the object come from the rocket or from somewhere else? this morning, some possible answers. this morning, a potential close call caught on camera, a mysterious object captured on tape flying very close to the spacex crew dragon with four astronauts on board. >> ignition and liftoff. >> reporter: take a look at this video. just 12 minutes after the astronauts left planet earth friday morning part of the falcon 9 rocket separates from the dragon. that's when some kind of object flies between the two. take a closer look in slow motion. but what exactly was that object seen early in the flight? sources telling us it appears to be ice from the liquid oxygen in that rocket. but this morning, no official confirmation on what it was.

>> the thing that makes me think that that is just most likely a piece of ice is that it happened right at the time where they were going -- while they were inserted into orbit. >> lots of hugs and smiles right now. >> reporter: in the end the astronauts arriving safely at the international space station over the weekend to begin their six months of research. and back here live at the intrepid museum in new york, we have the space shuttle enterprise right behind me. this actually played a huge role in understanding ice buildup during the shuttle days. this video may do the same and spacex likely will look at it frame by frame. >> all right, gio, thank you. coming up next an exclusive report on the booming used car market and the extra cash that could be sitting in your driveway right now, only on "gma" this morning. come on back. do you like mud? okay. then go there.

we are back with the "gma" exclusive. new data shows used car sales are skyrocketing. becky worley joins us from a car dealership in san rafael, california, with how to cash in and which makes and models are most popular. good morning, becky. >> reporter: good morning, robin. new car prices are at an historic high and there is a shortage. that has people turning to used cars. at this dealership, toyota of marin, they say demand is huge, supply is low, and if you have a

car sitting in your driveway, now is definitely the time to think about selling it. right now the car sitting outside your house could be a hidden gold mine. some used cars selling for more than new ones. why? because for buyers like steven and his wife julianna they're really hard to find. >> from december to april, i was searching. >> it was like four or five local dealers that just didn't have what we wanted. >> reporter: after months of looking they found it but over 400 miles away. >> it's about a 6 1/2-hour commute. >> 6 1/2-hour drive. >> reporter: the used suv she traded in got a top dollar offer. >> when they said we'll go $6,000, we thought, we'll never get this lucky again. >> reporter: just one example of a red hot used car market. >> inventory is very tight. so you don't see dealers negotiating very much. you don't see a lot of big incentives. >> reporter: this lot looks empty.

>> we cannot get enough pre-owned vehicles to keep up with the demand right now. in my 22 years i have never seen anything like this. >> reporter: edmunds.com tracks used car prices and tells "gma" exclusively that vehicles traded in during the month of march hit a record high, averaging more than $17,000, climbing nearly $3,000 from a year ago. all this being caused by a multitude of covid-related reasons. >> we're seeing some inventory shortages. i don't think a lot of automakers or suppliers really thought that new vehicle sales would be as strong as they have been and a lot of people want cars, specifically as they can still maintain their bubble because we're not necessarily through the pandemic yet. >> reporter: according to edmunds, the cars with the highest resale price are trucks, sports cars and suvs. valubesty-duty pickup their trucks. the top five, the ford f-250.

gmc sierra 2500, ford f-350, toyota tacoma and ram 3500 all holding roughly 80% of their value. so to get top dollar selling your car -- >> first, check the value of your car. see how much it is going to appraise for, and then shop it around, see what your local dealer is going to give you for the vehicle. >> reporter: now, the advice historically has been that selling a used car through the dealer is easier but you make a smaller profit. the experts i spoke with say that is really changing. the demand is so high that it is a seller's market everywhere, robin. >> you're looking good in the showroom there. i thought that was almost like going to do a commercial. >> come on down. >> toyota of marin, that's it. thank you very much, becky. good information. good information you shared with us. >> all right, everybody, next, we have our tuesday edition of "play of the day." we'll be right back. we'll be right back. . tonight's matchup: me versus an ugly fender bender.

welcome back, mrs. mccain, good to see you again. let's talk about the book. you cover a lot of ground but at its heart a love story. >> uh-huh. thank you for having me. it is a love story, i mean, it's something that we were married 38 years and there was -- there were so many things john taught me and the way we lived and the opportunities we had, i've considered myself a very, very fortunate person to have known and loved a man who was of such great honor and dignity. >> you knew when you met john mccain, you say it was love watt -- at first sight. you knew there was something of an age difference. >> there was. >> but not until you were married. >> yeah. >> did you know how big an age difference there was? >> no, we in -- in arizona in those days they published marriage licenses in the newspaper when you applied for it. and so we saw it in the paper and we -- i added a few years to myself and john had taken a few years off so john used to tease

our marriage started out on a tissue of lies but it was -- we thought we got a great laugh about it. it was a lot of fun. >> i love that courage and humor play equal roles in the title of your memoir. we all know about the courage. >> yeah. >> of your late husband but humor was so important to him, as well. >> oh, humor. he taught us so much. not just through the use of humor but the ability to just level things, you know, when things were tense, maybe perhaps during a campaign or during, you know, family issues, whatever it may be and there was always -- you could always count on john for a little bit of humor which always lightened the load. and even towards the end of his life, you know, john practiced humor, practiced the kind of life that he had lived and then i think the most important part of that is through humor and just his daily living he taught us how to die as well and those are lessons that all of us have learned from him and will always take with us.

>> speaking of your husband's battle with brain cancer, stunning story in the book where you actually had to basically argue with the insurance company over the chemotherapy. >> uh-huh. chemotherapy, yes, i did. that's an absolute true story. i was stunned i had to do that because john had a very good insurance policy and i was just absolutely stunned. i argued and argued and argued and finally something i don't regularly do, i pitched a fit and said, by god, you will, you are going to not only give him the chemotherapy he needs but do it out here, you know, we were at mayo clinic at the time. it was just an endless row about what would take place, what wouldn't and so i argued them down but no family should have to do that. it was an absolute testimony to insurance companies. >> that's the point. i mean, if you all had to do that, he's a national hero, you

own a big business and you're arguing minute by minute with the insurance company. >> right. yeah, yeah, it was -- if we had to do that, imagine what folks who don't have an advocate like me or the position that their loved one is in, how do they receive chemo or any other drug they need or any other service? it's absolutely unconscionable what happens. >> it's been nearly three years since your husband passed. i know frank sinatra's "my way" was playing in the background as he died and that really summed up his life. what does that mean to you right now? >> well, john did exactly what we thought he would do and that would be, he would -- he would leave this world on his terms at his own time, and it was -- you know, we had -- it meant everything to us because he was up at our place that we loved

upcoming season of the hit show, ladies and gentlemen, joining us live, elisabeth moss. thank you so very much. we've been waiting as i said. we've been waiting for this fourth season and congratulations because they're already saying there's going to be another season after that. is it true that you initially were apprehensive about taking this role, elisabeth? >> yeah, i was, you know -- i had finished "madmen" somewhat recently by the way. good morning. i had finished "mad men" maybe a year or so and just didn't think i'd go back to another series so quickly but this was a show that i read the first two episodes and, quite honestly, i couldn't stand the idea of anyone else playing the part. so it was jealousy that made me take it. >> boy, your cat is a lot better behaved than my dogs were when i was broadcasting from home.

talk about directing this year. you directed several episodes as well. what's it like directing yourself? >> oh, i'm a nightmare. i'm a total nightmare. i won't listen. no, it was -- directing myself was, you know, is what it is, it's kind of odd. but directing the other actors was such a privilege and it became my favorite part of directing, this directing experience. i did three episodes and, you know, you have these incredible actors that are so brilliant and it was just -- it was such a pleasure to get to work with them in that capacity after, you know, three seasons of getting to act opposite them. >> we actually is a clip from the first episode that you directed where you and the handmaids are traveling with evil aunt lydia and you finally break so let's take a look. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> oh. >> oh, my gosh. >> you jumped. >> that came out of nowhere, didn't it? >> it's a little early in the morning for that, i think. >> that was great. >> that was something. while we catch our breath i want to ask about a role you're taking coming up. you'll play the wife of francis ford coppola in a movie about the making of "the godfather" and how do you go about playing someone who is still alive? you think you're going to meet her? >> i would love to. i think it would actually be the first time i've ever played smebody who is still alive and i would love to.

i mean, as open as anyone is to it, i'd love to pick their brain. it's an incredible story obviously and i'm so excited to be doing it and, yeah, and working with that cast and, yeah, i hope she's open to a chat. >> you know, it's been -- can you believe it -- 22 years since "the west wing" premiered, 22 years and now your co-star, bradley whitford, played chief of staff on that. you play the president's daughter, so do you two ever reminisce on "the handmaid's tale" set about the show? >> we occasionally do. we actually did a little bit this year for the first time, me telling him what my experience was like, you know, i was 17 when i did the show, so it was 20 years ago. but it's more often that i just remind him that i'm his boss now. [ laughter ]

>> you know fans out there, they want a reboot of the show actually, so how do you feel about zoe being like madam president? >> oh, i think that's perfect. i think that's -- look at that photo. that's amazing. i think that's exactly where it should go. i mean, it makes sense. >> makes sense to us too. >> of course it does. elisabeth, you have been acting since you were a child and such a great champion for many, especially women, did anybody share any words of wisdom that you have carried through throughout your journey? >> i've had the opportunity to work with so many incredible women in my career. my gosh, learn from them. i would say i always go back to my mother who's sort of my personal heroine of my life and there's too many words of great advice to give -- to count. but i truly -- she's my heroine

and, you know, mother, they're always right. >> and they'll tell you that they are. well, you are a sheer delight and your cat's name is ethel, did you say ethel? >> yes, this is ethel and there's a lucy over there. [ laughter ] lucy and ethel. >> well behaved. all the best to you, elisabeth. thank you so much for being with us this morning on "gma." >> thanks, guys, it's great to see you. >> we'll see you again. "the handmaid's tale" returns for its fourth season tomorrow night on hulu. i know a lot of folks excited. coming up, actor justin baldoni joins us live talking about his new book on undefining masculinity. and as the weather gets warmer how to upgrade your picnic plans. pic-a-nic, more on a pic-a-nic, we'll be right back.

we are back with a new look at masculinity. justin baldoni who played rafael on "jane the virgin" went viral with a ted talk about society. and wrote a book, "man enough: undefining my masculinity." good morning. how are you today? >> good morning. how are you doing? >> doing great. talk about undefining. this isn't redefining. it is undefining it. why that word? >> undefining it, you know, at first, when i started this work, i thought i wanted to redefine

what it meant to be a man, and then i realized that redefining would create more of the same problem. we perpetuate the same issue which is that so many men around the world don't feel like they are enough as they are. so in "undefining masculinity" the goal is to make room for anybody who identifies as a man to be a man and take us out of this constricting world of the man box where we have to be big enough, strong enough, tough enough, and we just got to realize who we are as we are is enough. >> this is such a big subject. what drove you to take it on? >> oh, man, i think pain, i think growing up realizing that not only was i lonely and in pain but i was hurting a lot of the people that i love. just having those moments in my life where i'm like, why did i say that? why am i acting that way? why am i pumping out my chest when i'm around this person? why am i interrupting my wife over and over again? just having some sort of awareness and getting some

feedback specifically from the women in my life that i got a long way to go. it just made me realize that a lot of this stuff wasn't coming from me. it was coming from my socialization, from the outside, from media, film and television, and i was trying to be somebody i wasn't. >> so you're a dad now and you have a boy and a girl. how do you apply these lessons, pass them on to your children? >> oh, it's a good question, man. first and foremost, especially for my son, i'm teaching him that the strongest muscle in his body is his heart. every night before he goes to bed he says -- we both say the strongest muscle in my whole body is my heart. i love my body, my mind, my heart and my soul. i love god and, insert your religious prophet here, and i love myself, and i'm enough. i want him to know that emotions are strong, they take strength and bravery to be emotional and to be sensitive versus teaching him to cut off his emotions and to stop crying when he feels

sad. so that's just one way. >> wow, very thoughtful. you talk a lot about your dad in the book as well. has he read it? >> he just finished it. he just finished it. you know, this is a bit of a love letter to my dad and honestly to all men, not an attack on men, and i get really honest with my relationship with my father. i love my dad so much and we learn masculinity in general from the men in our lives or men in movies and my dad has been so brave and so kind in letting me share real, honest stuff about our relationship and he's been actually coming to the table and trying to be better and it makes me cry thinking about it my dad. >> we can see that. i'm sure we all have a lot to learn from the book, justin, thanks for sharing it. "man enough: undefining my masculinity" is available right now. thanks for joining us. >> thank you so much. >> that was an absolutely beautiful conversation you had with that man, wow. now to those hugely popular picnic parties taking over tiktok. the small business owners turned

when i was, like, the man, and it's about two high school -- it's about two girls in high school, but what is the main message of the show? >> there's a lot of themes throughout this show. obviously it's a psychological thriller so there's a lot of twists, a lot of mysteries to solve but, most importantly, it's a show about two young girls who really have to learn how to not judge a book by its cover, you know, everything is not wat it seems and i think that that's pretty much the most important theme of the show. >> we're not going to wait any longer. we'll take a look at a clip >> all set? >> yep. >> cool. "silence of the lambs," "misery." oh, and "groundhog day." >> that one is for my dad. >> sweet. >> when you actually had to go and get videos from the store, that was definitely good old days back then but this --

>> a little throwback. >> yes, a little throwback. this is produced by actress jessica biel who i think is absolutely magnificent. what was it like working with her? >> i mean, magnificent. she's such a powerhouse and she was so involved in this project and just really invested herself in it and it really just made for a better working experience and just overall such a cool human being, obviously. we know her, we know her work but she's just so down to earth and so grateful to have a producer as cool as her. >> yeah, i couldn't agree any more with your statements about jessica. speaking of the '90s, we heard that you really embraced reliving the era. it even bonded you with your parents over the music from the show. >> yeah, i was born in the late '90s, so i don't really have much experience of what it was like living during that era but all i know is the music was so cool. it just -- it -- there's such an effortless to that era and to the music and my family loves music and '90s was playing in our house all of the time but i

really got to have great conversations with my family about where they were when this song came out or when the music video dropped and it just -- it made for such a better conversation with my parents and really connected us in a real way. >> all right, so big question, what is your favorite part of '90s culture? >> i mean, high-waisted jeans. the fashion is unreal. the fashion is like obviously just so cool and it is back now in this day and age which i love but that to the -- to just the -- i mean, our show really transports you back into that era, so i just remember like being on set and really feeling like i was in that time and in that space. i mean, nobody had a cell phone during that time so you really had to be present. you had to be in conversations and it just -- it makes you feel more alive and i think just like that whole era just had such a

uniqueness to it that i love and the fashion and the styles and the music, all of it combined just such a cool time.>>ou righ. no cell phones, you had to be present and we had fanny packs which have come back too, how about that? >> the ultimate, ultimate style. >> the ultimate. olivia, thank you so much for joining us and "cruel summer," everybody, airs tonight on freeform and streams on hulu tomorrow. olivia holt, thank you so much. we'll be right back, everybody. ♪ ♪ ♪ why do you build me up, build me up... ♪ ♪ buttercup... ♪ ♪ baby just to let me down! ♪ ♪ let me down! ♪ ♪ and mess me around... ♪ ♪ and worst of all, worst of all ♪ if you ride, you get it. geico motorcycle. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.
