ukraine. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, george. that's right, both russia and america and nato increasing their military options around ukraine adding to the sense of an escalating crisis. at the same time there is still reason to hope that perhaps diplomacy could win the day. this morning, the united states and nato allies pledging more reinforcements to the region with additional weapons expected today as the russian troop buildup gathers pace. overnight, more russian military trains arriving to the north in belarus as russian ships setting sail in the baltic sea. meanwhile, president zelensky of ukraine giving another nationwide address urging people to stay calm. but u.s. secretary of state antony blinken accusing moscow of menacing ukraine saying it's an issue of global consequence. >> even as we're looking to advance the diplomacy, advance the dialogue, we have to be and we are prepared when it comes to defense and deterrence.

that everybody can see. >> reporter: the department of homeland security now warning of potential russian cyberattacks if the u.s. or nato responds to an invasion of ukraine saying, russia maintains a rank of offensive cybertools that it could employ against u.s. networks from low-level denials of service to destructive attacks targeting critical infrastructure. the kremlin's been talking this morning saying that it's profoundly concerned by the latest u.s. moves, but it won't comment until it receives a written response from the biden administration. meanwhile, france and germany planning to try to revive these de-escalation talks with russia and ukraine that takes place in paris tomorrow. cecilia? >> hoping for an off-ramp. okay, ian, thank you. the pentagon placing those troops on high alert but for now not deploying them to the region, so let's bring in our senior white house correspondent mary bruce. mary, this still marks a major shift for the administration. >> reporter: yeah, cecilia, good morning.

no question putting these troops on high alert is a major pivot for the white house. so what changed? as the pentagon says it was clear that russia had no interest right now in de-escalating. as for what comes next on that call yesterday with european leaders, the president and these leaders discussed economic costs on russia. now, the white house and the president continue to underscore their desire for a diplomatic solution but it's just not clear if compromise is achievable or if putin has any real interest in diplomacy, cecilia. >> i want to ask about another moment at the white house. you were in the room for it. the president responding to a question from a fox news reporter with a profanity. let's watch. >> do you think inflation is a political liability? >> it's a great asset. more inflation. what a stupid son of a bitch. >> the white house, the president trying to clear the air overnight. >> reporter: that reporter peter doocy said that he received a

personal call from biden. the president telling him, quote, it's nothing personal, pal. doocy said he appreciated the president reached out. cecelia, you know what these events were like. this was not a contentious line of questioning but the president was frustrated he was peppered with questions about ukraine at an economic event and doocy's question even though it was on topic clearly struck a nerve with the president. >> about inflation, thank you so much. michael? >> thank you, cecilia. now we're turning to that news breaking overnight. north korea firing their fifth round of missile launches so far this month. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is tracking the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. kim jong-un has been relentless this month. these missiles are suspected cruise missiles but he has also been test-firing short-range ballistic missiles and he's hinted that with diplomacy stalled and with tough sanctions still in place, he may resume testing of long-range missiles, icbms, and nuclear tests, which he has not conducted 2017. michael? >> and, martha, those missile launches, they were just tests

but they were missile launches at an air base in the united arab emirates that put american service members at risk. >> reporter: they sure did. this is a very different story and a major escalation. these missiles appeared to be aimed squarely at a u.s. base in a major city, uae's capital, abu dhabi. the u.s. and uae had to launch patriot missile defenses to intercept those inbound missiles. you see it there. the incoming missiles were launched by rebels in yemen who were backed by iran. i've been to the base in the uae. there are some 2,000 military personnel there. fighter jets, u2 spy planes and these incoming missiles sent them to bunkers. the pentagon said it would be foolish to assume there was not a threat to our people and they're taking that threat very seriously. but thankfully, michael, no injuries this time. >> yeah, thankful for that, martha. thank you so much. george?

okay, michael, we're going to turn to that breaking news this morning in the fight against omicron. pfizer now starting up trials for its omicron specific vaccine booster as the world health organization says it could be ushering in the end of the emergency phase of the pandemic. trevor ault at a drugstore in new york where they will soon be distributing free n95 masks. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, george. so, as this virus continues to evolve health care experts say it's imperative our tools will continue to evolve with it and this new vaccine being tested by pfizer was designed specifically to fight the omicron variant as it continues to spread rapidly. but this morning, there are many signs that some areas may have already seen their omicron peak. this morning, a new weapon being tested in the war on omicron. pfizer announcing the start of trials for its omicron specific vaccine booster with more than 1,400 trial patients set to receive one or more doses of the variant-based vaccine, though experts say it doesn't appear a strain-specific booster is necessary for people who are already vaccinated and boosted. one of the categories being

tested is a three-shot course of the vaccine tailored for omicron in patients with no vaccinations at all. it comes just as the fda has pulled emergency authorization for monoclonal antibodies used to treat early mild cases in unvaccinated people were found to be ineffective against the omicron variant as official calls to stop using the treatments have grown, the final cutoff causing massive disruptions in some states. >> while this virus continues to surprise us there's all sorts of ways but i do think we're heading to a better place. >> reporter: and there have been recent signs of hope in the pandemic as 31 states have seen new cases level off or decrease. but as one world health organization director warn, it is far too early to relax. 5 million americans were infected with covid in the last week. 22 states seeing at least a 10% increase in hospital admissions. and in new york, a state supreme

court judge overturning governor kathy hochul's mask mandate for public indoor spaces calling it unconstitutional and unenforceable. the governor vowing to appeal. and the federal government is now distributing more than 400 million free n95 masks. a lot of them are going to go through national chains at three masks per person. walgreens says they will have them on friday. rite aid says some of their stores will have it this week with all getting them by early february. cvs says they'll have them in the coming weeks, as soon as they get them from the government. cecilia? we turn to opening remarks in the federal trial of those three former police officers charged in the death of george floyd. prosecutors saying the men didn't lift a finger as floyd repeatedly said he could not breathe. alex perez joins us with more. we're learning one of the accused plans to take the stand. >> reporter: hey, yeah, good morning, cecilia. the federal prosecutor says the officers had a responsibility to george floyd

in your custody, in your care, and says that they failed to uphold their duties as officers. this morning, day two in the federal trial of the three now former minneapolis police officers who were there when derek chauvin pinned george floyd by the neck until he died. j. alexander keung, thomas lane and tou thao all charged when they allegedly failed to offer medical aid when floyd was in clear need of their medical care. two of them failing to intervene when chauvin jammed his knee on floyd's neck for more than nine minutes. lane can be heard on video of the incident asking if they should stop and check on floyd. >> roll him on his side? >> reporter: in opening arguments monday, prosecutors telling jurors the trio had a duty as sworn officers to interject when they witnessed chauvin's excessive force. but defense attorneys arguing the officers weren't properly trained and pointing the finger at chauvin arguing he took control of the incident. >> this particular case is

absolutely goin to shape the culture of policing. this is going to send a very clear message about the way we expect law enforcement officers to act even if it's one of their own that is doing the wrongdoing. >> reporter: chauvin is serving 22 1/2 years after he was convicted on state charges and has pleaded guilty to federal charges. and lane's attorney has indicated that the former police officer intends to take the stand in his own defense. this trial is exacted to last two to three weeks. michael? >> thank you so much. now we turn to wall street where investors are bracing for more turbulence after yesterday's wild ride. the dow down more than a thousand points before bouncing back to actually gain some ground on the day. our chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is live on wall street. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, to you, michael. this is the kind of vole tallty we see in the stock market.

the last time we saw the dow down a thousand points on the day only to claw back 100 points higher was in the midst of the pandemic, march 2020. tech stocks were hard hit. hardest hit since 2008 when we were in the throes of the financial crisis, the background is the inflation. we've seen prices rising at the grocery store, the gas station, the auto dealership and the fed is expected to work on that, tamp down that inflation by hiking interest rates. that will mean that the cost of borrowing goes up. it gets all expensive. the overall economy and try to cool things off so that prices don't get so out of hand that them.cans can no longer afford the problem there is that can have the ripple effect on stocks. last year the market was up 27%,

this year we're down about 8%, so that 401(k) that you started setting aside over a year ago, up last year, down a bit this year, but still higher than it was in january 2021. michael? >> play the long game, right, thank you so much, rebecca. george? we'll get to the latest now on amy schneider. she won her 39th straight game last night giving her the second longest streak behind the greatest of all time, ken j. ionurjeardy beat. he >> don't start with me, george. look, amy schneider has won $1.3 million on this show now. that puts her fourth on the all-time winnings list for the regular season but only trailing now ken jennings for the all-time number of wins and dare i say she's kind of made it look easy. >> a tag line for the 2008 "sex and the city" movie urged viewers to get this verb away. amy.

>> what is carrie'd? >> reporter: her hot streak is one for the history books. >> who is mc hammer? >> it's hammer time, yes. >> what is guru? >> that's correct. >> reporter: "jeopardy!" phenom amy schneider sailed past matt amodio's 38-game winning streak on monday. >> the 39-day total of $1,319,800, you now have the second longest streak in "jeopardy!" history. >> reporter: and the competition wasn't much of a competition last night. schneider trounced her opponents. at one point even sweeping an entire category. >> what is 1,999 bottles of beer on the wall? 2007-year itch. what is 1912 angry men? 1840 winks. 1815 minutes of fame. >> you add another 2,000 and you swept that category. >> reporter: she was so far ahead, even losing final "jeopardy!" didn't matter. >> let's see how long it goes, folks. we'll find out starting tomorrow. >> reporter: up next, beating now co-host ken jennings' record of 74 consecutive wins. overnight amodio in awe.

>> i am just tremendously happy. amy, you can count to 39 and i couldn't. congratulations. don't stop there. keep going all the way. i'm rooting for you. >> reporter: monday morning schneider talked to george right here exclusively ahead of her big win. >> what's been the best part of the experience? >> you know, i think that the best part for me has been being on tv, you know, as my true self. >> at the end of the day the game is about knowledge and amy knows so much. and there's really nothing else to it and it's just incredibly fun to watch her play. >> all right, so, only three people in the history of games in a row.e won at least 3- two of them happened this season. amodio, remember, was this season. so a lot of people asking, what's going on? players getting better. is it getting easier? is it better technique? you heard amodio say this is probably the key to her success, she's just smarter than the rest of us. it's that simple. so it's been fun to watch. a ways to get to 74 and ken

jennings. >> she has been found to watch. okay, t.j., thanks very much. a lot more coming up on "gma" including the smoothie shop tirade caught on camera shouting threats, the man throwing a drink at an employee. dealing with the fallout this morning. the grandma who turned the tables on a suspected scammer. but first let's go over to ginger. hey, ginger. >> reporter: cecilia, rugby, north dakota, has a windchill of 51 below zero this morning so you know i've got something to show you. it starts with detroit where they picked up between 3 and 5 inches depending where you were. they're still about 3 inches below for the season. then, you see the cold, it's coming. those windchill advisories starting to pop. numbers are diving to 20 below for the feels like in chicago tomorrow morning. remember, they just got that fresh snow. it will feel even colder. all right. let's get that tuesday trivia now sponsored by allstate.

>> [ bleep ], immigrant loser. >> what? get out. you're going to jail. you're going to jail, you racist [ bleep ]. >> reporter: to many his words were racially offensive. you see him try to get behind the counter through a door that one of the workers is struggling to keep closed. again, these are teenagers and one of them tells us she has only been working here less than a year. >> as a person who's had multiple customer service jobs i've dealt with people like this and i don't think we get paid enough to deal with it at all. >> it's never been this aggressive. never been threatened to be killed by any of them. >> reporter: and he did go to jail. this is the booking photo he took with tears in his eyes. he's charged with trespass, breach of peace and intimidation based on bigotry or bias. he has not yet entered a plea. it was all too much for his employer, merrill lynch, where he worked as a financial adviser. they fired him sunday. but in his written apology, he explains that he was upset because the smoothie was made with peanut butter and his 17-year-old son is allergic to

peanuts. he writes, after he started to drink his smoothie my son lost the capacity to breathe properly. his lips and face swelled up and required an epipen shot but it did not offer him relief. i called 911. i was out of my mind with fear for him when i returned to the store, and i wish i had not done so. i also wish they had been more careful preparing my son's beverage. he writes that my actions were wrong and i deeply regret them. police in fairfield, connecticut, confirmed about 30 minutes after he bought the smoothie paramedics were called and he did have to rush his son to the hospital. the 49-year-old says that he told the young women at the counter that the drink should not have any peanut butter in it. this morning, he says he feels terrible for losing his cool. he appears in court february 7th. michael? >> all right, steve, thank you so much for that. and as they said don't get paid enough to deal with all of that. now we're going to turn to that quick-thinking grandmother who tricked a suspected scam

artist. she secretly alerted the police who nabbed him on her doorstep. janai norman has the story for us this morning. good morning, janai. >> reporter: michael, good morning to you. jean ebbert said she knew right away the call she got was a scam, but she decided the play along for fun. now, obviously that can be dangerous and it's not recommended by law enforcement, but it worked for granny jean. this morning, the new york grandmother who avoided being scammed by scamming the would-be scammer. >> to the ground. >> reporter: last thursday, 73-year-old jean ebbert received a call from a man posing as her grandson saying he'd been in a car accident and needed $8,000. >> i hear somebody crying, saying, oh, my god, i'm in an accident. i thought it was my son-in-law who is a real comedian. then he says, grandma, i need your help. >> reporter: but granny jean knowing her granddaughter as her only grandchild old enough to drive says she knew something

was off. >> so he says to me, you can venmo $8,000, and i said, well, i don't have a venmo account. >> reporter: so the retired 911 dispatcher from long island says she decided to play along with the would-be scammer. >> first thing i said is, oh, my god, are you hurt? how did this happen? i said, where are you? he said, i'm in new jersey. i played the game and then i said to him, listen, don't call your mother. she's going to be mad. let me handle this. >> reporter: she alerted police who came to her home and waited for the suspect to arrive. >> i actually said, hmm, was this such a good idea? but anyway he's coming so -- >> reporter: this doorbell camera recording as this man approaches her front door. she opens it, hands him an envelope stuffed with paper towels, not $8,000 cash. >> okay. have a good one. >> reporter: and as he walks away, police move in. >> to the ground.

>> maybe they'll realize that they can be scammed too, because i played the game really well right from the beginning. they believed me hook, line and sinker. >> reporter: law enforcement say these scams happen all the time and unfortunately, the elderly who are often targeted often fall victim. police say if you get a questionable call, don't listen to anyone claiming to be from the government or asking for money and they also say to make sure to protect information you put online because it's incredibly easy to be targeted on the internet. >> this world that we live on, social media and we post everything, birthday parties, family information, we are educating the bad people, the bad guys that want to take advantage on the information. they'll find you. you'll have your name there. they'll call it and take a shot. >> reporter: so, 28-year-old joshua gomez is charged with third degree attempted grand larceny and police advise

against a victim ever trying to confront a suspect and, of course, you want to try to avoid becoming a victim so they suggest not answering numbers from calls that you don't recognize. don't ever pay with gift cards or wire money and, of course, don't feel pressure. they say legitimate businesses give you time to make payments and, guys, police didn't say it explicitly but it's safe to say don't mess with granny jean. >> granny jean for the win, though. >> best tip for last, okay, janai, thanks very much. coming up next, our exclusive first look at the new janet jackson documentary speaking out about her relationship with michael. speaking out about her relationship with michael.

illness in children but over 10 million u.s. kids have tested positive since the start of the pandemic. erielle reshef is here with the story. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning, george. as you know the pandemic can feel like it is ever evolving and like the goalposts continue to move for parents. so doctors we talk to say understanding the data surrounding kids and covid can provide important perspective. more than two years into the pandemic, many parents are coping with a crippling mix of confusion. >> the biggest anxiety right now is how to keep them safe, especially when everything is constantly changing. >> reporter: exhaustion and fear. >> being in constant defense mode is exhausting. >> reporter: unprecedented case counts among children and rising pediatric hospitalizations are stoking concerns. but research suggests compared to adults, severe covid infection among kids is relatively uncommon and though pediatricians say it's not time for parents to let down their guard, there is reason to be hopeful. >> we do see children get hospitalized. but comparatively to delta, we are seeing more children when

you look at percentages have really great outcomes meaning they have a mild symptom of a runny nose or cough and that is why it's up to every parent to decide what level of risk am i comfortable with. >> reporter: while pediatric cases spike to more than 1 million last week, pediatric hospital admissions dropped 11% after a surge of more than 500% over the last six weeks. cdc data shows that children from birth to 17 have the lowest number of total hospitalizations from covid compared to any other age group. >> most of the rise in pediatric hospitalizations just has to do with a denominator. that is, if tens of thousands of children are being infected every day, the total number hospitalized will go up. >> reporter: the cdc estimates roughly one out of every 1,000 children 17 and under who contract the virus will require hospitalization. experts estimate that for vaccinated children that risk is significantly lower, just 1 out of every 100,000. new research shows the omicron

variant which accounts for almost 100% of new cases is proving less severe than the delta variant. and for many children, the symptoms are comparable to other respiratory viruses. >> many of these children are being admitted for things that they're admitted for for other viruses such as dehydration, oxygen support like we would see in flu or rsv. so we're seeing it act very similar to many other viruses. >> reporter: and as for transmission in schools -- >> it's actually lower than most places in the community. >> reporter: experts say these data points can help families strike a critical balance as we learn to navigate our new reality. do you foresee a point at which pediatricians say the risk/benefit analysis is on the side of relaxing those regulations? >> the science is moving so quickly that the recommendations are constantly changing and that is really hard for parents to hear. i do believe by spring we're going to get better answers, but that is a hard wait for parents. >> reporter: there is light at the end of the tunnel.

we have to be patient. doctors say it's important to remember that kids can transmit this virus to other vulnerable children or children who are immunocompromised as well as adults who are at higher risk for severe illness. an important factor to weigh as you make those critical decisions for our own families. george? >> erielle, thanks very much. let's get more from dr. jen ashton. what are the big things parents need to keep in mind? >> first, we have to follow the science here, the cdc recommends that every child 5 and over get vaccinated. clinical trials have shown those vaccines to be safe and effective. and then i think it's really important to, again, based on the data, based on the science keep that perspective. right now in the pediatric population the risks of covid-19 are overall low. look at the numbers. 0.1 to 1.5% of all pediatric cases result in hospitalization. it's way, way lower than that for covid-related deaths. of course, one covid-related pediatric death is too many, but

when you look at particularly like the classroom environment, that's one of the safer places to be overall based on the data we have. >> so classrooms are safe. edo holistic view. parents remember, they need to be not only concerned with physical health, but mental health and psychological health and development as well. i think then, when you look at that, parents can look at some things to help stratify that risk. first of all, you do want to know what is the local rate of infection in your area. if you're in an area coming out of this peak, things might be safer rather than if you're in the thick of it. environment matters. choose outdoor playdates or settings whenever possible, weather permitting. masking in crowded indoor areas still being recommended right now, and then we have to lead by example because children, particularly younger children but adolescents as well, will follow our lead, particularly our psychological and behavioral lead, and if we look panicked

and paranoid and frightened at every turn, they unfortunately will too. >> given that, overall, is it time to loosen up on kids? >> well, listen, i think as we heard those pediatricians say we'll learn more by the spring, but we're two years into this. so right now if you have a child with a compromised immune system you want to take more precautions than others, but, otherwise, it's about learning how to live with this virus. >> jen ashton, thank you so much. >> you bet. >> michael? turning to the big question so many fans have for seven-time super bowl champ tom brady. will he return or will he retire? will reeve is breaking down what the quarterback is now saying about his future and his family. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, michael. tom brady is so old by football standards that speculating about his future is something of an annual tradition. usually it's just noise, but this time brady himself may be signaling that it's real. he's done it all, but is he done? this morning, tom brady adding fuel to the fire that his

football future may be uncertain. >> it's been six straight months of football, every day consumed by day in and day out football. and i think now it's just some time to spend some time with my family and spend some time with my kids. >> reporter: on a new episode of his "let's go" podcast the 44-year-old seven-time super s as it's not always what i want. it's what we want as a family. i'm going to spend a lot of time with them and figure out in the future what's next. >> reporter: after sunday's early playoff loss, brady claimed he hadn't thought much about what would come next. now saying he'll look ahead with the help of his wife, supermodel gisele bundchen and his children. >> my wife is my biggest supporter. it pains her to see me get hit out there and she deserves what she needs from me as a husband. my kids deserve what they need from me as a dad. >> reporter: in the past he's said his goal was to play until

age 45. his birthday is august 3rd, just before the 2020 season will begin. he has a contract but might just ride off into the sunset. >> the funny part is, most guys retire and then move to florida. i'm already in florida. so it's really confusing even to me. >> reporter: the famously regimented brady said that one silver lining to sunday's playoff loss was indulging in some waffles with his kids on monday morning. now, it's hard to see the man who sees avocado ice cream as the peak of gluttony ever letting himself go or letting go of the game, but it sounds like he might be giving himself the option and his family is going to help him choose. michael? >> i tell you what, he deserves the right to choose and do whatever he wants to do. ter all thand all those wins. now we go to ginger. hey, ginger. michael, i heard tom brady is old for football and avocado ice cream is gluttony. i guess i'm old too because i think the same.

let's go to maine. an ice cutter cutting through the rivers there making through what has been cold, yes, but will get significantly colder and we're watching a storm for friday night into saturday that looks like it'll be on the attack potentially for eastern massachusetts, rhode island, all the way up through maine at least. we will keep an eye on that one. that's the big picture. have some avocado ice cream. drew: increasing sunshine today, breezy in the hills. upper 50's mid 60's. tonight, a light, offshore breeze will keep fog away from everyone. it is cool. temperatures in the 30's and 40's. breezy in the hills today. we keep the sunshine and dry pattern through the weekend w ww all right, now to our food evolution series. this morning, we're supercharging your kitchen with

innovative new tools to make your meals fast and simple. this segment is a shopable one. so just point your phone's camera at that qr code on your screen and our friend becky worley is joining us from the beautiful cooking school in sausalito, california, to show us the hottest new kitchen tech. hey, my friend, good morning to you. you're going to start us off with all the healthy stuff, some fruits and veggies. what are we talking about? >> reporter: fruits and veggies, cecilia, mean a lot of prep work. these gadgets make it easier. my favorite, this is one from oxo that is an apple splice slicer. put it on top of the apple and a little muscle, boom. you get perfect slices every time. this takes a two-minute job and turns it into a 10-second job and you reduce the friction for getting an actual snack that's healthy and another thing that people really want to eat healthy with their greens, the famous kale salad. so another gadget i love, this is from loose leaf, and what it does, it's a green stripper.

you just put the kale through these holes and then strip the leaves off. you got one there, right? >> yeah. i'm trying to not slice my fingers off. oh, look at that, that's easy. >> reporter: grab that kale stripper. not something you thought someone would ever say on television. >> you're right. that's totally easier. we were just talking about fingers and kitchen safety. look, i have these in my own kitchen. i am prone to accidents. you know me well enough to know. how can we slice, dice, get it all ready for dinner and still keep our digits intact? >> reporter: yes, the gold standard is the mandoline. it's where you take your vegetable or fruit over a very sharp blade. we've all been there in the e.r. with our finger in a towel. this mandoline is from dash and it's gravity fed so you never get your fingers near it and talk about slice and dice, i could see my kids loving this and i wouldn't freak out about

them taking a finger off because it has all of these safety features. genius, right? >> completely. >> that's from dash. >> okay. we think of dinner about meat, a starch and veggie. how do we shift our mindset to get us into something a little more healthy? >> reporter: yeah, you know there's lots of ways. one, you think about pasta. what if you have zoodles instead. this is the vegetti. you can create zoodles out of zucchini or think about things like home kits where you can have them create portions that are vegetable forward, home chef and sun basket two good ones. >> love it all. thanks, becky. coming up, kevin james, stay with us.

"oliver twist: the musical" with your kids. >> yes, i took a page out of the movie. sean payton went back when he was suspended ended up, you know, coaching his son's football team. so i said i'm going to take some time out of my schedule and just kind of spend it with my kids and perform with them in this theater group that they perform

in and they're amazing and it's been a fun experience. it's been great. they've been teaching me a lot and i've been learning a lot hanging out with them. so it's great. today is actually my daughter's 7th birthday, sistine, i love you, sistine. >> happy birthday. >> happy birthday. >> that's my little one. >> happy birthday. that's not the only stage you've been on. we hear you're out on the road doing some live comedy, some stand-up. what's it like to be back in front of a live audience? >> it feels great. it's amazing. it's so much fun to have that connection again and be in front of a live audience and it's been going great. so, you know, continue on with that. >> and let's talk about "home team." you alluded to it earlier. it's based on the true story about sean payton and the new orleans saints, the head coach who was suspended in 2012, but he spent that time coaching his son's middle school team. we'll take a look at you in action.

let's check it out. >> we got a z chip over here but we'll send our z chip in motion and have both wide receivers on this side. once they cross the line of scrimmage they're cutting right which means our hot sauce -- >> i drop back and fake it to the line. >> i'm the line and pretend to get the ball and block. >> and jason and i cut to the right. >> then i throw it to the open tortilla chip. >> yes, there you go. >> that is just how it was in all of our meetings, kevin. i'll tell you that. >> you know that. >> yeah, but we see you playing a coach there. but in real life, what kind of coach would you be? would you be tough but fair, gentle or flexible? >> i'm very flexible. i don't know if you know that. i'm a dancer. so i'm flexible in my coaching as well. you know, watching sean payton, you know, and getting to spend time with him and watch how he does it, it's amazing to me how much he has to deal with on a daily basis. he took us to the saints' facility. it was during the draft too, so you could just see everything, how he breaks it down and it's amazing how he really does lead everybody there. he's just an amazing guy.

>> this movie is a real family affair. some of it your hollywood family, some your biological family. let's see we've got rob schneider, a co-star, adam sandler, an executive producer. your older brother gary is in the movie too. what was this like on set? >> yes. oh, it was great. we always have a blast and any time i work with my brother i always try to make it fun for me, so i'll give him something -- either shave his head or like this one we gave him a big push broom mustache in this one. so we have fun. it really is a family affair in that everybody -- you know, when you do a sandler movie, they're just -- everybody just enjoys each other and we get to spend, you know, this time together and have an amazing -- you know, make an amazing movie. >> what do you hope people take away from this movie? >> just that, i mean, it's important to, first of all, to laugh, have some fun. it's a movie for everybody and

just that, you know, it's important to take time and, you know, even in the toughest times to be able to connect and be in a relationship with your family and your kids and do that. you can always find a bright moment in, you know, in a tough time and he does that in this movie. he really did. he spent the whole year coaching his kid and it was the greatest season of coaching in his career, he said. >> good for that. >> and he won super bowls. >> i can believe that. >> plus your ears, strahan. kevin, you're a big jets fan. >> oh, i knew that. >> what was it like -- >> he's reminded me of that many times. >> me and michael have been through this, yes. >> what was it like playing a coach from a different team? >> it feels weird always any time you wear a different hat or a jersey or, you know, whatever, but i think the jets are okay. they're going through some tough times themselves right now.

so, but we're a young team and we're going to hopefully be back. but this year was -- it was -- we've already been eliminated from next season that's how bad we played this year. but coming up soon we'll be okay. we're going to pick it up. >> no doubt. >> it's great to have you back, kevin.

♪ you are the future ♪ back now with mikaela shiffrin. the three-time olympic medalist is getting ready for her third games, this time in beijing. maggie rulli sat down with the face of american skiing. hey, maggie, good morning. >> reporter: hey, lara, good morning. you know, mikaela has been winning major races since she was barely a teenager. but now going into her third games she not only is a veteran, but a household name, she tells me this extra stress of fame is something she's had to work through. a force on the slopes with win after win. >> this is phenomenal skiing. >> reporter: at 18 in sochi becoming the youngest slalom champion in olympic history. the next games in pyeongchang tying for the most gold medals ever won by an alpine skier. mikaela shiffrin is already on her way to becoming the most

decorated skier in history. >> should have the lead. >> reporter: at 26 she's only just getting started. we caught up with the olympian on a very snowy night in austria. >> this is atmosphere. we're in a snowstorm. it's beautiful. >> yes. yeah, that's something for atmosphere. >> reporter: she's in between world cup races ahead of the games in beijing, gearing up for what could be another record-breaking olympics. you have talked about potentially going after all five big events in the olympics. >> one of my biggest dreams is to compete in every race at the olympics. >> reporter: mikaela is back on the slopes after recently catching covid, says she feels good, but she missed out on trni dinn-quar. was feini hadn't d i sn't atep in quarantine. i was doing, i don't know, pull-ups on my bed frame. >> doing pull-ups on your bed frame is very impressive. >> well, it's just strange. >> reporter: the stress of testing positive in beijing is weighing on athletes. mikaela says she works out just as hard on her body as her mind.

>> i know you've spoken about working with a sports psychologist as well. i'm wondering, having gone through that process what was it like? >> i'm really trying to get back to focusing on my skiing despite all of the sort of chaos and confusion that surrounds my mind pretty much constantly. >> reporter: her parents come up often in her conversation, especially the heartbreak of losing her father just two years ago. >> there is a whole side of grief that disallows you to focus. you don't have any more mental or emotional strength or energy to actually do what you're supposed to do on a daily basis. how do i compete? how do i ski? how do i care about the things that i actually want to care about? >> reporter: helping her focus, one of her coaches, her mom. always by her side even during the interview. >> if there is a secret weapon i have for sure it's her. >> reporter: it's hard to not just love her. when i talk to her there was something i noticed right away. you could feel it. her love for the sport is so genuine. she says when she's out there

competing, yes, she wants to win but she's also out there because she loves to ski and lara, that's enough to bring the spirit of the games back. it got me so excited, lara. >> yeah, me too, maggie. she is just awesome. rooting for mikaela all the way. thank you. and right now let's head to ginger. thank you, lara. you know, i was on the phone with my mom yesterday. she's all, well, we had 11 inches of snow. they're close to muskegon, michigan. and ice, you got to see the ice. i said, mom, take a video and she did. here it is from lake michigan. just to give you an update, they went from below average only about 12.5% ice cover last week to now above, more than 20% ice cover. now, overall, we're at 21.8% for all the great lakes which is slightly below because erie, ontario, both a little delayed there and both of those more shallow. i want to quick warn you after noon today if you're enjoying

the mild weather like i am here on the east coast in the 40s, that will happen by noon, then you are dropping out the bottom by tomorrow morning make drew: breezy and the hills today. temperatures in the upper 50's to mid 60's. the next seven days, a dry pattern through theit all right, now former bachelorette rachel lindsay has never been afraid to speak the truth and now she has a new book of essays out called "miss me with that: hot takes, helpful tidbits and a few hard truths" and here she is this morning. rachel lindsay, good morning to you. welcome. >> good morning, thank you so much for having me. >> well, we're glad you're here and glad to talk about the book. the title "miss me with that," you say it's a phrase that you use a lot. what do you mean by that? >> it's something i use in everyday conversation and i want people to feel like when they're reading the book they're hearing

my voice, they're feeling like they're having an actual conversation with me and you're also getting a more casual side of me. people are used to seeing the polished version of me, the professional side, but with this book i strip back the layers and you're seeing -- what i hope you'll get is a whole other side of me that i'm vulnerable. i'm sensitive. i'm a little bit sassy which i think we already know that part. >> we love that about you and you have been no stranger to speaking out. so what made you want to tell your story this way now? >> yeah, i think because so much of my story has been told for me. you know, when you give yourself or when you decide to be on reality tv, you don't get to control that narrative. and then a lot of times people have seen me speak out about being a champion for change and for diversity and for inclusivity, but i wanted people to get to know who i was before i came on the show. a lot of people think my life started the day i walked out of

that limousine but there was so much more to that, to how i became the person who was able to stand in front of them on television, so i wanted people to see that. a lot of times i feel i'm misunderstood and this book gives you the opportunity to understand me through each essay. >> i love that. you say something in the book that really struck me. you say contrary to popular belief the best gift i ever received was not a wedding ring. it was the permission i gave myself to be imperfect. how did you come to realize that? >> yeah, you know, a lot of people want to say how can you speak out, you know, against certain things with the franchise when the franchise has given you so much. and i think what they need to understand is i made the decision to be on this show to change the course of my career, of my love life, of pretty much everything and i decided to finally do something for me. not doing what i was supposed to do but doing what i wanted to do and it took a long time for me to say, hey, whose life is it

that you're living, rachel? and when i finally asked myself that question and i decided to take control of it, that's when i started to give myself the permission to really be who it is that i want to be and you see me explore that in several essays throughout the book and i think that's a question that a lot of people can relate to when you're at a crossroads in your life. >> a lot of people are going to have this question for you. you and your husband bryan are one of the -- only a few out of a handful of couples that have lasted this long. what is your secret? >> the secret is not being performative. the secret is, you come off the show and we have bachelor nation that's affiliated with the franchise, and a lot of times you feel like you have to perform for the audience or you have to perform for social media. for bryan and i immediately we left the show and we immersed ourselves in each other's realities. he moved to dallas for me. we connected with our family, our friends. we built that circle of trust,

the people who know us and love us and that established a really srong foundation for us at the very beginning. and then, other than encouraging each other, making sacrifices and communicating with one another, those things, that really has just been the secret to our success, realizing that, you know, we just need to be there for each other and to understand each other, because no one knows the relationship like we do. and i'm happy to say we're still going strong to this day. >> and we are happy for you, rachel, and your love and your book, congratulations.

>> how are you, brother? how are you doing? >> i'm doing great. people don't realize but we've been friends for nearly 30 years, but until recently, i never knew you were struggling with your mental health. you never said anything to me and you went from that to writing a book about it. so why did you write this book now? >> isn't that crazy? this thing makes up its own set of rules and i live in something i call the gray, which is depression, anxiety and honestly it's hard. every morning i wake up i never know which version of me i'll get. i'll wake up thinking the sky is falling or everybody hates me and the world hates me. detand that te any sense and i outsidbecause my life is great but between my ears is not and you just said it, stray. that's why i wrote the book. we've been friends for 30 years. i didn't tell you this -- i didn't tell you about this until, what, two months ago? >> yeah. >> because i had this shame and you said why?

man, i don't make the rules up of this thing. i want people out there -- i wrote the book so we could take all the shame out of this. >> you're helping destigmatize this and looking at that picture realizing how far we go back, you had hair and i had jowls. so that's a good old picture. but you've dedicated, jay, which i love and respect, you dedicated yourself to helping people fight through and heal. you have three pillars to get people beyond what you call the gray. what are they? >> look, mine is a daily thing i have to do. one of them is to have a team. whether it's us at "fox nfl sunday" or, you know, i started charities as you said or my fight team, i just need teams. and i wrote the book so i can expand out on this team and have more people walking this walk with me. that's one. number two, be of service. right? and there's ways in the book you can be of service if you're a

millionaire or you're making, you know, 9 grand a year like i was when i first met you for those first ten years. and by doing this book also that's being of service. this helps me out and then the third thing is laughter. and, you know, it's funny, you guys -- none of you guys know. i've had an anxiety attack on "fox nfl sunday" every single show we've ever done since 2005 and the thing that gets me through it is laughter, so i crack a joke real early in the show. i'm trying to mess you guys early in the show because the gray hates laughter, so that helps a lot. >> wow, had no idea. i don't think any of us had any idea because, you know, you come on camera and you know your stuff and you're awesome at what you do and you speak of service. you speak of teams. you founded merging vets and players, mvp, which brings together former service men and women who retired along with retired athletes and they

support each other and they help each other heal, and why do you think that's been so successful? >> because, you know, we're so raw and vulnerable there and, look, you take a bunch of combat vets and a bunch of athletes and you put them in a room together, the things you can learn from them are incredible. for me, i'm just their mouthpiece. i learn from them and turn around and communicate it. we've had a lot of success in mvp helping our veterans through the transition so a lot of the lessons i've got from them and helped families and they're in the book as well. i think it will help everybody. >> you believe in the power of teammates. wiz khalifa, chris pratt, sylvester stallone to your gym unbreakable but you also talk about loving yourself up. tell us what loving yourself up is. >> look, for somebody like me who doesn't know how to have self-worth or doesn't know how to like himself or love himself, this is my journey. i'm trying. so my depression and anxiety have forced me to do such big things in the outside to get love from the outside in instead of -- until how i can learn how

to love myself from the inside out. i'm proud of my scars, i'm proud of my physical scars and i'm learning to be proud of my mental scars as well. that's why -- we just went through a really hard time here with the pandemic. there's a lot right now. it's a scary world and i think for anybody out there, whether you have clinical depression or whatever you're going through, i think this book will help you. >> jay, you're helping so many people. i appreciate you coming on, being so open and writing this book. i love you and you're teaching me how to be a better friend because you've always been very giving to me and "unbreakable" hits -- i love you, brother. "unbreakable" hits bookstores today. make sure you check it out. stay right there, everybody. we'll be right back. oh, wow, barbara corcoran! good morning.
