mega drought drying up lakes and reservoirs that millions rely on for their water supply. until about a year ago, this was 50 feet under water. folsom lake has been shrinking so fast that by december it could be just two rivers and a small pool of water. california has some of the best modeling anywhere for droughts, yet it could not predict how bad this is. >> yes, we weren't close. >> reporter: overnight california's governor gavin newsom declaring a state of emergency here citing the extreme heat. this frees up utility companies to ramp up operations to keep air conditioners going. extreme heat kills more people every year than any other kind

>> we don't know the nexus or the motive. we don't have an idea of what this person was thinking. >> reporter: the alleged gunman opening fire at people on quiet side streets and busy interstates from this white suv. the police cornering the suspect about 90 minutes after the initial shooting saying they found one gun in the suv during the arrest. of the 12 people who survived three were shot. others were hit by shrapnel. the rest were involved in car crashes. the shooter is expected to appear in court later today. amy? >> thank you. now to the coronavirus emergency and the delta variant. the cdc announcing there are more confirmed cases of heart problems in young people who got the shot. the director of the cdc is standing by to talk to us about all of that, but first, let's go to stephanie ramos with all the latest. good morning, stephanie.

>> reporter: amy, good morning. as the delta variant grows in the u.s. and more people get vaccinated the cdc is investigating more cases of heart inflammation in young people who received the covid vaccine. more than 300 people under the age of 30 are experiencing myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. or an inflammation of the sac around the heart. most people who developed heart inflammation recovered quickly after medication and rest. the cdc advisory panel pushed their meeting to next week to discuss the reports. the cdc still strongly recommending the vaccine to anyone over the age of 12, especially now as some parts of the country are seeing a rise in covid cases. five states with increases of 40% or more in the past two weeks. experts pointing the finger at the delta variant which has been confirmed in 41 states. they're warning it could become the dominant strain. whit? >> stephanie, thanks. joining us now exclusively

is the director of the cdc, dr. rochelle walensky. good morning to you. it's good to have you. i want to start with myocarditis. there are now more than 300 cases being investigated. that's out of millions of people who have been fully vaccinated. is there enough evidence to officially confirm the link between the vaccines and this rare condition? >> good morning, whit. thanks for having me. we certainly are looking at this carefully. we have an acip meeting scheduled for next week. we're going to be eager to look at the data during that meeting. what i will say is over 200 million doses of vaccine have been given. really these events are quite rare. they are minor, self-limited. they generally resolve with rest and standard medications. what we're saying is the risk of the disease itself -- we've had 300 pediatric deaths.

we've had over 4,000 children with the mic syndrome that resulted in 30 more deaths. we're saying in that context these cases of mild heart inflammation, the risk of that which are quite rare, are overwhelmed by the benefit of getting vaccinated. >> we know it's rare and that's your message to parents. many are still on the fence, trying to weigh these risks. how would you bring that message to them? >> what i would say, first of all, i have three kids. all are vaccinated. the most important thing you need to do is be comfortable as a parent with your choice in making this decision. if you make an informed decision where you listen to the science around the vaccines, the safety of the vaccines, the overwhelming data we have and how effective they are at preventing severe disease and sickness in your children, i think you'll come down the way i did and vaccinate your children.

>> i want to turn to the delta variant. we know it's highly contagious. identified in 41 states in the u.s. do you expect it will become the dominant strain here, and if so how soon? >> yes, i think that's probably going to be the case. it's the dominant strain in the uk. when these viruses mutate, they do so with some advantage to the virus. in this case it is more transmissible. it's more transmissible than the alpha variant or uk variant we have here. we saw that quickly become the dominant strain in a period of one or two months. i anticipate that's what happens with the delta strain. >> we know the vaccines have been effective against this variant. it's already mutating. is it only a matter of time before there is a strain more resistant to our vaccines? >> certainly that's what we worry about and what we're trying to avoid.

we do know is that as viruses mutate, they do it with advantage to the virus. i will say as worrisome as this delta strain is with regard to its hypertransmissibility, the vaccines work. right now they are working, and they require actually two doses to be fully vaccinated to work well. i would encourage all americans to get your two shots and you'll be protected. >> vice president kamala harris is on a bus tour to encourage people to get vaccinated. you're also taking part today in atlanta. is this needed to reach president biden's goal to reach 70% adult vaccination by july 4th? we have just a couple of weeks to get there. >> this is one of many things we're doing to try and reach that goal and to go beyond that goal.

i think this is one of many strategies. we have rides. we have child care. we have incentives. we're trying to meet people where they are and provide the oomph they need to get vaccinated. i'm excited to be with the vice president at the ebenezer church. >> dr. walensky, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. amy, over to you. now overseas to iran where voters are going to pick a new president. the results could impact the u.s. martha raddatz is on the grounds there in tehran. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, amy. we are right outside a polling place. there's been a huge push to get iranians out to vote. the guard court saying a vote is worth more than a precision guided missile into the heart of

the enemy. the ayatollah himself voted this morning saying it's a sin not to vote. of course, his candidate, ebrahim raisi with the one who will very likely win here. a hand picked candidate. he's a hard liner. most of the people we spoke for today were voting for ebrahim raisi. about 60% of the population is expected to stay home today in protest because there were not moderates on the polling places to vote for. more than 500 were disqualified completely. now raisi even though he is a hardliner, he does support the nuclear deal that president biden is trying to revive, but it could be a tougher, longer deal out of the iranians because

of raisi. that's a long way off. amy? >> thank you, martha. we turn to a landmark moment in the u.s. federal workers have the day off after president biden signed a bill making juneteenth a national holiday. june 19, 1865. that was the day that the last enslaved african got word they were, in fact, free. they got that word in galveston, texas. steve osunsami joins us for more. >> reporter: happy juneteenth, t.j. this morning we're celebrating this national holiday. the holiday is actually tomorrow, but the federal government is already set to recognize it today for most federal workers. the last time the president signed a holiday into law was reagan. president biden made juneteenth a federal holiday with his signature. a holiday once only celebrated by black families is now a holiday for all. the vice president held the hand of the 94-year-old woman, miss opal lee from ft. worth, texas

who marched the streets for years wanting to make this a holiday. juneteenth makes the date the government freed the last remaining slaves in texas years after they had already been freed. it's no accident this is coming after the conversations over race in this country and the summer of protests. even so there's some concern this is nor symbolism than substance. critics say some of the law makers who supported this holiday are also fighting against legislation that would improve conditions for the very people this holiday celebrates. t.j.? >> steve, great to see miss opal lee as part of the ceremony. thank you so much. coming up in our next hour, michael strahan had a sitdown with former president barack obama for a special juneteenth conversation. we'll have some of that this morning. whit? the tribute for christian eriksen, the soccer star who collapsed on the field suffering

cardiac arrest during the team's first game of euro 2020. before denmark's game yesterday, a giant number 10 eriksen jersey was carried out on the field. both teams paused the game with players applauding eriksen. it was quite a moment. denmark went on to lose the game. the belgium fans and the players themselves aware of the gravity of that moment. >> we wish him the best. we are following a lot of other headlines. airbnb under loov scrutiny. a new finding that the company has paid settlement claims for problems, even including violent crimes. the hiker lost in the wild, being chased by a group of bears. first to ginger. >> reporter: t.j., i'll get you straight to the weekend forecast, sponsored by progressive insurance.

kicks in the chi. he's showing us some of his favorite rooms. he's telling us about the new movie in the works. >> in the chi? >> chicago. >> i was impressed. >> by which part? >> in the chi. that was awesome. >> this is not "gma3." >> we have a lot to look forward to. we have news to get to start. starting with the double threats, a tropical storm warning in the gulf coast. louisiana in the bull's eye. the governor warning after severe flooding last month, the heavy rain this time could be catastrophic. let's go back to elwyn lopez. elwyn, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. we got that first outer band of rain coming through here. we can see up to a couple feet of storm surge. that system still churning in the gulf of mexico. i want you to take a look from

above. it doesn't take much rainfall for this area to flood. the louisiana governor has issued a state of emergency. the storm will be more of a rain maker. with the soil already saturated, even 35 mile per hour wind gusts could lead to uprooted trees and dangerous flooding in some areas. tropical storm warnings up to alabama/florida border. some places could see up to a foot of rain. the bulk expected to push through northern georgia before weakening in the carolinas. louisiana was hard hit last hurricane season with five named storms making landfall, the most ever for one state. t.j.? >> elwyn, thank you. we want to turn to ginger tracking all that, as well as the historic heat out west. hey there, ginger. >> reporter: hey there, t.j. let's start with the tropics. that area of thunderstorms right now could become claudette later today. what this means -- we just got the update. it will be moving in by early saturday morning. you'll see heavy rains being the number one impact.

6 to 12 inches. really in the florida handle you can see two to three foot of surge. then even up to parts of biloxi. now, move that rain to the north and east it's going to make it to south carolina and north carolina by the end of the weekend. the inundation is the number one concern. it's also moving quickly. the reason it's not ramping up is because of the wind shear. that jet stream is going to kick it out. then we have to talk about the extreme heat. it's expanded from illinois into missouri into iowa and even omaha, nebraska, was 105. the hottest in nearly 60 years. of course those heat advisories excessive through the oregon state line. that's sticking around for the next couple days. we'll break this by the start of the week for most folks. >> ginger, appreciate you. thanks so much. amy? now to the major decision by

the supreme court rejecting a challenge to obamacare, leaving it in place. mary bruce joins us to break down the decision. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, amy. it's a huge sigh of relief for the 31 million americans insured by the affordable care act. and the millions more who rely on its protections for pre-existing conditions. in a 7-2 ruling the supreme court rebuffed the republican argument because congress did away with the tax penalty for the uninsured the entire thing should be scrapped. the court ruling because the plaintiffs weren't harmed by the law, they have no legal ground to stand on here. at the white house they're celebrating the decision. saying obamacare is stronger than ever. and a record number of americans are now enrolled. we've seen large coverage gains especially among people of color and in lower income communities. the law has grown in popularity which may be one reasons why we're seeing many republicans who spent years fighting the law resigned to the fact that obamacare is here to stay.

studio. welcome back to "gma" on this friday morning. >> great to see everybody out there. we're looking forward to monday and our "rise & shine" from alaska. t.j.? now to an abc exclusive. more of our interview with the family at the center of that south carolina murder mystery. we learn new details about the investigation. eva pilgram has been following this. >> right now investigators are looking at every tip, following every lead as they try to figure out who killed this mother and son. this morning, a grieving family looking for answers. >> my brother loved maggie, loved paul like nothing else on this earth. >> reporter: it's been nearly two weeks since 22-year-old paul murdaugh and his mother maggie were found murdered outside their family's hunting lodge outside rural south carolina. no suspects have been named. no arrests have been made.

>> it's hard to imagine somebody could be so sick as to do this, intentionally kill people like that. we see it in the world. we see it on the news. you don't think it's going to happen in your small community to your family. >> reporter: paul had been awaiting trial. accused of being under the influence in 2019 while crashing a boat killing 19-year-old passenger mallory beach. >> 911, what's your emergency? >> what bridge is this? we're missing one person. please send someone. >> reporter: he pleaded not guilty in the case. all the people on board that boat, as well as mallory beach's family, voluntarily giving dna sam p. samples to clear their names in the homicide. those samples are still being processed. paul's father, alec, who discovered his wife and son's bodies also offering a dna sample to investigators. >> he was willing and still is willing to do anything asked of

him. he wants this solved. >> reporter: authorities say paul and maggie had been shot multiple times between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. a week ago monday. the family asking for the public's help. law enforcement setting up a tip line dedicated to this case through crime stoppers. >> do you think they will find who did this? >> we certainly hope so. >> hope so. >> the family is asking anyone who knows or saw anything big or small that could help to share that information with authorities through that anonymous tip line that has been set up specifically for this case. t.j.? >> eva, thank you so much for following the story for us. more to come on that for sure. let's head back over to ginger. hey there. >> reporter: hey there, t.j. i want to take you straight to the gulf coast where we have a drone image of the gulf coast that was hit so hard last year in hurricane season. we have tropical action this weekend. it's all about storm surge.

we know how low lying you are. you've been super saturated in a lot of the gulf coast. that's going to be tough. especially as we look at the surge expected. mobile bay, two to three feet. over through all of those beautiful beaches along mississippi into the boot of louisiana. keep in mind that stretches to pensacola and destin is included. you push water and water falls from the sky on the order of 6 to 12 inches. that's where we'll have problems. even the rain moving its way through the end of the weekend into the start of next week is going to be a problem for, say, northern alabama, north georgia and south and north carolina. that's the big picture. let's get -- good morning. happy friday. we have some sunshine out there and possibility of the record high temperatures once again today on this day three of the four day heat wave. unhealthy air could happen again today. better sleeping starting tonight. temperatures along the coast in the san francisco defer kneltly cooler.

65 to 74 there are and 80s around the bay and lookty 90s. a lot of 50s and 60s in the inland neighborhoods. my now to michael's one on one with former president barack obama talking about race, resilience and finding hope again. it's all part of abc's juneteenth special. take a look. >> president obama, happy juneteenth. >> it is good to see you. happy juneteenth to you. >> thank you. i remember being in school and they had all the presidents. they had every president up there. you would look at that list and you would say i want to be president. i don't think you could believe it. >> right. >> now, when they look at that, your face is up there. a lot of people will look and say it signifies, since you've been elected president, that we moved on from the issue of race.

what do you say to that? >> that's never been the case that by virtue of my election we entered into a post racial world. it wasn't something i believed at the time. i certainly don't believe it now. the fact is that a lot of barriers still exist for a whole lot of folks. when you look at that list of presidents, we still haven't seen a woman. the notion that women somehow are not qualified -- you know, the fact is, at least in my household, the women are smarter, more insightful, more caring, better looking, talented, funnier. >> do we live in the same household? that's my household also. >> that's my point. something is happening in our society that prevents that from ascending to the highest office in the land. the same is true for african-americans and latinos, the first americans, native americans. the odds are stacked in ways that prevent a lot of young people from realizing their potential. we can do something about it.

>> in "the promised land" you talk about hope. the country is built on hope. pioneers, abolitionists, civil rights workers. you ran on hope. >> we are choosing hope over fear. we're sending a powerful message that change is coming to america. >> we're now in 2021. we have the pandemic, the insurrection, racial reckoning. a lot of people feel like they lost hope. how can people get that hope back? >> you get hope back for me at least taking the long view and recognizing that resilience, determination, the ability to deal with setbacks and disappointments and keep going. those are qualities that can

carry forward. no one has exhibited that more historically in this country than african-americans. the march on washington happened during my lifetime. that's not ancient history. in big parts of the country segregation was still operative when i was alive. what seems like stuff we now take for granted, that's just a generation old. >> there's so many people out there -- the idea of the american dream they can't see it anymore. what is it going to take for people to realize the american dream? >> historically the american dream has been a reality for some and a myth for others.

we're in a community, anacostia in washington, d.c. that's representative of a lot communities around the country where the kids who grow up here may formally be free, but structurally because of poverty, because of schools that aren't working, because of substandard housing, it requires so much more effort for them to live out that american dream. so, our job is to make sure that it's not a myth. right now for too many it still is. >> reporter: i'm michael strahan in washington, d.c. >> our thanks to michael for that. "juneteenth, together we triumph" special event prepares tonight at 9:00 eastern on abc. at 3:00 p.m. eastern you can join abc's clubhouse conversation with the creators of "soul of a nation" as we celebrate juneteenth. whit? we're going to switch gears and go to lara for "pop news."

okay. i got to live with that. i decided to walk across america. i'll talk to anybody who will listen about bullying. >> when i told you to take a walk, i meant around the block. not to new york city. >> the movie following joe as he walks between oregon and new york city delivering a simple message of acceptance. it also stars connie britton and gary sinise.

house production house/movie set i work on every day. yeah, we make music out of here, produce a lot of sketches, music videos, performances. we distributed my new movie out of this house. welcome to the house of kicks. welcome to chicago. >> we've been fascinated with this house of kicks. our cameras got a tour behind the scenes walking us through it there. we're going to show some of that video. what are your favorite spots in that house? >> my favorite spots in the house. obviously i love the kitchen. my favorite spots to work out of are -- i guess the conference room. we call it the writrs' room. it's where we started writing my film with mgm. i do a lot of sketch writing out of there. also kick it and eat food on that table. the studio obviously because

that's where i record at a lot. we have some really cool lighting in there. it worked out. it was in my latest music video we used that room. yeah, then the best part of the house is probably the theater. we have the screening room where we test out all the sketches and, you know, go after -- after we go to color for different movies, we go in there. it feels like you're in the movie theater. that's my favorite room, the screening room. >> the theater will come in handy to screen your new movie "magnificent coloring world." tell us about it. >> yeah, "magnificent coloring world," yeah, it's my new movie. it's an amazing concert film that's filmed unlike any other film that you've seen when it comes to concerts. it's very intentional, very, you know, beautifully engineered in terms of the audio. when you experience it in

theaters, it's exclusively at amc theaters, you're in for a treat. it's really a special piece and it spans the entirety of the coloring book mixed tape. that was released five years ago. it's like a piece made in love. it's with all my guys that produced and worked on the album. yeah, i'm proud to fouannounce s going to be in theaters next month. >> you're still -- that's a film we're talking about. it's a concert film. the heart and soul of what you do, man, is you're in music. you have the new single, "the heart and the tongue." you have references to poseidon, pontius pilate, liam neeson. you have all kinds of references in there. so we don't have to go to rap

genius can you explain it to us? >> yeah. i'm going to perform it here in a second. "the heart and the tongue" is probably my best record i ever wrote. it's a very intentional look at the process of me deciding just what the material that i'm writing is going to be about. how it's going to -- it's hard to explain. there's always this internal battle i go through when i'm writing in terms of how worldly my rap is going to be, how easy it is to decipher what i'm writing is, how personal it's going to be. this song i spent a long time trying to write it because i was having that internal battle. i, in turn, ended up making the song about that. there's a lot of references to greek mythology and that's partially because, you know, the greeks took everything. i don't know.

i don't know. i'm on "good morning america." i don't want to get too deep. yeah, like, it's a good song. you don't have to rap genius it. if you do, you're in for a treat. i'm performing it in a second on "good morning america." >> we're looking forward to that performance. don't need to get too deep into it. i do want to ask you about your beautiful family. you're a girl dad. t.j. and i are as well. your oldest daughter graduated from kindergarten. instead of celebrating with a cupcake of flowers like most dads, you put her through an obstacle course. what's this all about? >> yeah. so, you know, trying to keep them ready for the world. trying to keep them physically fit. my daughter -- first of all, let me say, my daughter is what you call a super genius. she just graduated kindergarten a little bit early actually. she's going into first grade. she's still kind of young. have you ever seen the show "smart guy"? she's a smart girl type person,

just a super genius. she just graduated kindergarten through home school. through intensive training in all the maths and sciences and languages and black activists and historical figures. to celebrate we did a huge graduation party in the backyard. we had an obstacle course. we didn't cut her any slack. she had to dig. she had to go hard. she had the best record time of the day. she's an all around g.o.a.t. >> spoken like a true dad. super genius, g.o.a.t. that's fantastic. >> chance, it's always good to have you, see you, talk to you. we're going to have a couple performances from you. folks, don't go anywhere. we have a couple performances from chance. we'll also be talking about power pets, how they helped us through the pandemic. how we can help them as we head back to work. stay with us here on "gma." delicia: this is where all our recycling is sorted -- 1.2 million pounds every day, helping to make san francisco

the greenest big city in america. but that's not all you'll find here. there are hundreds of good-paying jobs, with most new workers hired from bayview-hunter's point. we don't just work at recology, we own it, creating opportunity and a better planet. now, that's making a difference. all of this started when we discovered the benefits of local, raw honey for our family.

and then we said "hey, you know what? this is a business right here." we went out and started to sell it. to help us get going, we got the chase business complete banking ℠ account. it's more than a bank account. it comes with quickaccept, which lets us take card payments anytime, anywhere, and get same-day deposits at no extra cost. it's more than honey. it's about building something for our family that will endure.

we are back with the power of pets, helping their owners through the pandemic with their unconditional love. my dog copper who we adopted during the pandemic -- there he is. cute little guy. he's doing his part. lara is back with how we can help them as we transition back to work. lara, good morning. >> hi, whit. i think somebody is going to need a lot of help. they love having us around.

pets have been so invaluable to us and our mental health over the last year and a half, especially with feelings of loneliness and isolation. where did you go? she found the treats. what about them though? how will these guys feel when we start heading back to work? >> i think it was serendipitous. i think it was meant to be. truly life changing for some. ,- >> i feel completely blessed. i was a sinking ship. when i found arthur, on papers i rescued him, but he rescued me. >> reporter: maureen says her 7-year-old rescue dog made all the difference during the pandemic, helping her in more ways than she could ever have imagined. >> he gives me focus, direction. he keeps me out of my head. >> reporter: research shows she's not alone. pets have been proven to help lower blood pressure and reduce
