military drills taking place in the baltic sea. and near ukraine's eastern border more russian army exercises under way. the white house reiterating once again it believes an invasion of ukraine could be imminent. >> i would say that we have said since last week that we have seen preparations and buildup at the border and that an invasion could come at any time. >> reporter: in a call with ukraine's president, president biden reaffirming u.s. and allied readiness to respond decisively in russia further invades ukraine, but there are differences between the two on how significant the crisis and the threat of military action from russia is. all this just a day after the united states hand delivered its diplomatic response to russia's demands, refusing to agree to the kremlin's central request, a guarantee that ukraine never joins nato. the u.s. and its allies now awaiting a response from putin himself. this morning, russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov warning russia will heed military advice on how to retaliate if its

security demands aren't met. the u.s. continuing to prepare for any possible action by russia with 8,500 troops on high alert and u.s. bases on standby and in ukraine, while urging people not to panic, officials dusting off cold war era bomb shelters in case they're needed once again. >> of course, we are prepared and, of course, we are ready for any situation. >> reporter: so if putin decides to invade there are lots of questions about when it could happen and many think the winter olympics is a key factor and here's why, president putin increasingly close with president xi of china and something he doesn't want to embarrass him or distract from the games. however, there is another school of thought because russia has used both winter and summer olympics in the past as cover to launch military action. but, of course, george, the only person who really knows what's going to happen here is vladimir putin himself. >> that is for sure. okay, ian, thanks very much. we're going to get the

latest on the pandemic. the u.s. is turning a corner in many states. cases down by 25% from two weeks ago. hospitalizations down nearly 8% over the past week. let's get more from dr. ashish jha, dean of the brown university school of public health. thank you for joining us again, dr. jha. some encouraging news right there. you call this a transition moment in the pandemic. >> yeah, good morning, george. thanks for having me back. i did. you know, this pandemic has taken all sorts of twists and turns and with omicron spreading as widely as it has i do believe we now have the tools to combat future surges to get through this moment and as this surge declines, i hope we can really start looking forward to a very different way of managing the pandemic. one that gets us our lives back. >> what does that mean exactly? the w.h.o. says we're about to -- we're approaching the end of this emergency phase. how will life look different? >> yeah, so the key is we're approaching the end of the emergency phase. the virus isn't going away. we may see future surges, but i think the restrictions, mandates, a lot will start

easing and what that means is when we see future surges we'll have to deploy the tools we have, vaccines, tests, et cetera, to get through them. but this kind of constant pressure we have felt for two years from the virus, i really do think that's going to begin to ease in a substantial way. >> how concerned are you about the omicron subvariant we're seeing in some countries right now? >> it's something we have to watch closely. we are seeing in denmark, for instance, it has caused infection and is continuing to rise and we know the sub variant is here in the united states. we think it might be more contagious. i'm not overly concerned but something we have to watch carefully. >> dr. jha, thanks as always for your time and information. michael? all right, thank you, george. now to the nfl's big weekend -- i know cecilia will be all over this -- four teams left vying for the two coveted spots in the super bowl and t.j. holmes joins us with a preview. and, t.j., after last week's incredible game this will be a hard weekend to follow. >> casual friday for t.j.

mice and the nazis as cats. >> education is the antidote to ignorance, whether it's about the holocaust or any other issue and so we are doing our kids a disservice when we don't give them the facts as they were. >> reporter: the tennessee school board says it's working to find other age appropriate books and says the board members do not diminish the value of "maus" as an impactful and meaningful source of literature nor do we dispute the importance of teaching children the historical and moral lessons and realities of the holocaust. but a recent survey found only 45% of americans know how many jews were killed by the nazis, 6 million. and anti-semitic crimes have risen 12% in the last year. earlier this month, four people including a rabbi were held hostage at a synagogue in texas. and in an interview on holocaust remembrance day which was yesterday the author of the book

"maus" art spiegelman called it baffling and orwellian saying, this is disturbing imagery because it's disturbing history and the holocaust museum tweeting this has played a vital role in holocaust education. guys? >> such an important story, erielle. thank you so much for bringing it to us. we turn to that new twist on what's known as virtual kidnapping scams. this is where people are tricked over the phone into paying ransom to free a loved one who is actually perfectly fine. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis has more on how this works and what to do if you end up being a target. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia, and the fbi says the number of extortion scams almost doubled between 2019 and 2020 but this morning, there's a new twist that's making these schemes even more difficult to spot. it all began with a simple phone call lesley mumford said she received at work. she said the caller i.d. said it was her mom. >> when i picked it up i heard a woman in distress crying and a man came on the phone real deep voice and he said, do you hear that?

she needs your help. >> reporter: she says the voice quickly becomes threatening. he demands money and says if she contacts the police, he'd kill her mother. >> he said i swear on my baby's life if you don't do everything i tell you, i'm going to kill your mom and then i'm going to kill myself. >> reporter: lesley says she transfers a total of $900 to the caller's account. >> he says god bless you and it went silent so i'm sitting there going, mom, hello, mom, mom, hello. then it hung up. immediately i called my mom and she said, i'm at work. what's wrong? and immediately i broke down. >> reporter: it's another twist in the virtual kidnapping scam, this time using spoofing where the alleged crook makes it appear like you're receiving a call from a loved one's real phone number. >> they try to keep it at such a fever pitch that they'll

convince the caller to pay and it does happen unfortunately and it did in this case. >> reporter: experts say to help determine if it's a scam, ask to speak to your loved one directly. if they refuse, ask them to describe your loved one. finally, while staying on the phone, attempt to contact that loved one via text, social media, or through any other means. most importantly, try to stay calm. >> keep your wits about you, ask them questions like, put my mother on the phone so i know this is a real situation. you try also to keep the caller on the telephone as long as possible. they know if you get to another phone and are able to send a text to your loved one you'll know they're not kidnapped. >> so disturbing. lesley filed reports with the fbi and the local police who tell us they are investigating. she hopes her story will help prevent the next person from becoming a victim. guys, these scammers are convincing. this kind of experience can be

very traumatizing and being aware that it exists, talking to your loved ones in advance. what would we do if we got this kind of phone call? in this new world of technology, they're important conversations to have, guys. >> really important. rebecca, thanks so much. we'll switch gears coming up, prices soaring for a popular super bowl staple. stay with us. coming up, prices soaring for a popular super bowl staple. stay with us. pies that works differently. it could mean a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. together, opdivo plus yervoy helps your immune system launch a response that fights cancer in two different ways. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more time together. more family time. more time to remember. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation;

nearly $3 on average. >> it's crazy. but you got to get a product that people can afford to do. you know, you can't charge $100 million for wings, you know, no matter how much they go up, or you can't overcharge for a draft beer. so it's, okay, what are we -- we got to make sure the customer is happy. >> from atomic to lemon pepper we make it our own way. >> reporter: wingstop now altering their menus, offering chicken thighs. last year, americans consumed some 1.42 billion wings during the big game. this year, the national chicken council says there won't be a wing shortage. like almost anything else you buy right now, wings will be a little bit more expensive, but they'll be stocked. so the advice from the national chicken council which i just learned was a thing don't wait until kickoff to place your order for wings. guys? >> thanks. i'm trying to think of another

good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning. well, the search here at the white house is now under way. the president says he's already been reviewing bios of potential candidates. the white house telling us he's going to be casting a wide net and that this will be a rigorous process. president biden this morning is looking to make history with his first supreme court pick and fulfill a key campaign promise. >> i've made no decision except one. the person i will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience, and integrity. and that person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the united states supreme court. >> reporter: biden saying he will announce his pick by the end of february. he's promising to look at a broad array of candidates and even though his nominee could be confirmed with just democratic support, biden is vowing to seek input from across the aisle. >> i'm going to invite senators from both parties to offer their ideas and points of view. i'm also consulting with legal scholars and lawyers and i'm fortunate to have advising me in the selection process vice president kamala harris.

>> reporter: the senate's top republican, mitch mcconnell, says he'll give biden's pick a fair look, but adding the president must not outsource this important decision to the radical left. the white house firing back. >> if anyone is saying they plan to characterize whoever he nominates after thorough consideration with both parties as radical before they know literally anything about who she is they've obliterated their creditability. >> reporter: justice stephen breyer always made clear the court is not a place for politics. he is now finishing out this term and won't be leaving the court until later this summer. cecelia? >> i know you'll stay on top of that and this next story i want to tell everybody about. major political news. there is a new occupant at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. the bidens welcoming a new cat. her name is willow. she is very cute after the first lady's hometown willow grove, pennsylvania, and like any cat she has a lot of personality. clearly a cat person wrote that. she actually connected with dr.

what is that? why would you do that? who eats that? what is that for? what is that for? >> i think specifically for this show at this moment. >> who thought of that? you're a bad person. >> one viewer commenting that that sauce that tracee called rude should be declared a chemical weapon. her mommy, diana ross, did not come to her rescue and didn't need to. she completed the challenge eating ten wings in ten increasingly hot sauces all while being interviewed. i mean, that is a great show. then finally a shoutout this morning to methuselah, the oldest aquarium fish. look at this 9-year-old beauty. a very rare lung fish living at the california academy of sciences in san diego. she was brought here from australia in 1938.

this morning, actress goldie hawn penning a powerful op-ed on the mental health crisis plaguing children amid the pandemic saying, we have failed them as a nation. hawn writing in "usa today," we will survive the covid-19 pandemic, but i'm not sure we can survive an entire generation whose collective trauma sends them hobbling into adulthood. we need more research. more preventive care and more early intervention. >> i've just been really feeling sad and overwhelmed and down and still hoping we'll get over it someday. >> reporter: for kids like 11-year-old anderson fields, the pandemic has sent their anxiety soaring. >> he won't go into stores with me, grocery stores has not been in since the pandemic started. there are times when he seems to get really uncomfortable around crowds. it's just not a way to grow up. >> reporter: one study finding depression and anxiety symptoms in children have doubled compared to pre-pandemic

estimates and continue to remain high. >> what are some of the things you are seeing yo in your practice when it comes to kids and mental health? >> kids are feeling more stressed, more isolated. the disruption in schools and usual routines and activities is also stressful for kids. >> reporter: one of the more alarming trends, suspected suicide attempts for girls ages 12 to 17 were up nearly 51% in 2021. while experts say children are resilient, anderson's mom says banking on that expectation isn't fair. >> we keep talking about how resilient kids are and i think that's a little bit the lie we tell ourselves to get through the day. yes, kids are resilient to normal things, not to this. >> resilience does not necessarily agree with the disturbing statistics. as much as we might be encouraged that kids and adolescents can be resilient we really have to be realistic about the fact that we need eyes on them. >> reporter: there are ways to help. a new study found engaging in physical activity, getting better sleep, and participating

in family activities work to shield 11 to 14-year-olds against the harmful effects of the pandemic on their mental health. on the flip side, researchers also found that more screen time including social media and video games were important predictors for anxiety and negative effects among children. >> what i'm cautioning them around, don't necessarily only lean on screen time. yes, it makes sense. we need to be more flexible and doesn't mean we still don't want our kids getting up, outside and getting exercise, getting fresh air, doing activities with the family. >> reporter: and experts tell us that one of the key factors in developing kids' resilience is having caregivers that are supportive that they can rely on. they say it's vital to check in with your kids around early intervention is key. george? >> thanks, erielle. let's check in with dr. dave

anderson. thanks for joining us. let's go over the warning signs parents should be watching for. >> absolutely. it's good we're talking about this. if we're looking at young kids and the segment summarized a few of the things. look out for changes in mood or daily habits where a kid might be sad or anxious in situations they weren't before or sleep or eating patterns have changed. we also want to look out for irritability. that's a hallmark of child depression where a kid may get angry with parents or with challenges and lastly for young kids, who may not be able to talk as easily about emotion look out for stomachaches or headaches, or vague body pain to be their way of saying they're stressed. >> different signs for teens? >> absolutely. teenagers may show differently in the sense that we may see a little more withdrawal or isolation where teens are a little bit more withdrawn from family or friends. at the same time we night see changes in their interest and activities andthey might lose interest or not report the same enjoyment of sports or maybe art activities and then lastly we want to look out for drugs or alcohol or signs they may be using as a way to cope with challenges. >> this creates anxiety for the parents. how can they help their kids?

>> the most important thing is reminding parents they can do something. in that sense parents can talk to their kids about what they're going through. they can promote wellness habits in the home. try to get more sleep. eat a little bit more regularly. hydrate and move our bodies. parents can use support systems and break down stigma by talking to teachers and coaches and particularly school-based mental health professionals might be able to gets eyes and help. there are also online resources. we have a recently released project, the healthy minds thriving kids project with online resources for parents to use with kids and teens lia?weu. her shape jni months, now worth $3.2 billion. rebecca is back with details on how she did it. hey, rebecca. >> hey, cecelia. that is inflation. this is a company that didn't exist until 2019. they managed through the

pandemic and now kim kardashian's skims are valued at more than $3 billion. this morning, kim kardashian taking her shape and loungewear company skims to a whole new level. the company doubling in value over the last nine months to $3.2 billion protecting sales to hit 400 million this year. >> skims became widely successful because of the brand recognition that kim kardashian really taps into the customer who wants to aspire to be like her via fashion, her business sense. >> the perfect shapewear didn't exist. >> reporter: the brand founded in 2019 selling shapewear, body suits, and shorts and has expanded to loungewear, robes,

pajamas and the official loungewear undergarments outfitter for team usa athletes in the upcoming games in beijing and the jenners are keeping up with kardashian success with their own booming business ventures. kylie jenner's makeup empire, kylie cosmetics sold for a whopping $1.2 billion and right behind her kendall jenner releasing her own line of 818 tequila in may, 2021. >> cheers. >> reporter: according to "forbes," kim kardashian's estimated net worth is $1.2 billion which includes income from cosmetics, perfumes, and mobile game, as well as her reality show that ended its 20-season run last year. >> if skims continues to grow at the rate it's growing it's either going to get acquired or potentially go public. >> what is the takeaway for all of us non-billionaires? skims really benefited from the introduction of pajamas and loungewear just as the pandemic began and entered the cozy collection as people were giving up on shapewear and lounging instead. if you're running a business you got to be agile. remember, there are pivots involved and remember that kim kardashian's social presence may look like it's all fun and games

but this woman works hard around the clock 24/7. and, michael, she pays serious attention to every last detail, michael. >> i think that gets lost how hard she works. thank you so much for that. now with valentine's day just a few short weeks away, january is the busiest month for online dating. that's according m ndcupid. buhow do you know if youe found the real thing o? millionaire match maker patti stanger is here with advice to navigate the dating world. always great to see you. >> hi, michael. how are you? >> #lovebombing has 80 million views on tiktok alone. what does it mean and what are the warning signs of a love bomb? >> it's a seduction technique. it's basically a way to get the person you want by complimenting them, overexaggerating saying you're my soul mate, we're gonna

fall in love and we're going to have a future together. it's not real. it's not sincere. >> how can you tell the difference between love bombed and someone who has genuine affection for you? >> you know what, you have to spend time with this person and you got to meet them in person. a lot of these love bombers are text messaging online, and the dating apps and they're not meeting them, or they're sending flowers and gifts or, you know, overexaggerational. when you spend time on a consistent basis you'll know whether this person is real. sometimes you have a gut feeling. you know it's too good to be true. >> you definitely got to trust your gut. what could people do to make sure that this doesn't happen to them? >> a lot of the love bombers have anger issues. they're narcissists. you want to pull back. maybe cancel some dates. maybe not text message or call them back right away and if they have anger, you know this isn't a real thing because their agenda is more important than yours. they don't have feelings. they don't care. they just want what they want. >> patti, thank you so much for your advice just in time for valentine's day. we appreciate you as always. >> thanks.

>> all right, thank you. now we go to ginger. hey, ginger. >> reporter: michael, you're the absolute best and i'm not just giving you love bombs because i had no idea what that was before that segment. i got to talk about a bombogenesis in the nor'easter. let's start in virginia. virginia beach, norfolk, right, they have had seven inches of snow. that's more than their annual average. they've gotten it all month, and they're expecting more. a lot of folks getting a couple of more inches, four, maybe more. up the jersey shore heavy bands of snow. there could be feet of snow in massachusetts but with that coastal flooding. keep an eye on that. that's the big picture.

now to our "gma" buzz pick, this week we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of an american classic, here's casey, the owner of golden bee book shop in liverpool, new york. >> this week's aptly named buzz pick is "the secret life of bees" by sue monk kidd.

on abc 7 news and the news is always on at abc7news.com. join us weekday mornings from ♪ don't stop me now i'm having such a good time i'm having a ball ♪ back now on "gma" with actor patrick wilson launching into space alongside halle berry in the epic new sci-fi movie, "moonfall." good morning, mr. wilson. how are you doing, bud? >> i'm good, man. how are you? >> i'm doing great. growing up were you ever interested in space or possibly one day being an astronaut? >> well, first of all, as i talk to you, you're the only guy here that's been to space. [ laughter ] i did. you know, i grew up in florida and certainly in the '80s in the height of the space race of, you know, shuttles going off all the

time it was a big deal and i remember specifically waking up early in the morning, sometime before sunrise and you'd watch it on tv and we would go out to our dock. we were in st. pete's, on the other side of florida but after a minute you saw it come over the horizon so it was such a thrill and here to even just be acting it is a dream come true. >> after doing the acting, you ready to join michael and go into space? >> let's do it. let's go. i'm in. >> i like the attitude. love the spirit. >> let's take a look at you in action. >> we better do something fast or we'll crash down. >> i never should have come. >> see if the moon can pull us the rest of the way. casey, can we do it? >> come on, buddy. can we do it? >> oh, i don't know. >> go for srb separation. >> completed. >> oh, god, if this doesn't work we're dead. >> it better work.

>> whew. you were filming inside a real space shuttle. anything about that surprise you? >> i mean, everything. we're actually filming in a real space shuttle. the only difference is we are on a sound stage in montreal. so you're playing a video game without watching the video game. you feel like a fool, i'll be honest with you. >> we had halle berry here yesterday talking about this great movie also and what was it like to be able to work with her floating through zero gravity with halle berry? >> well, if you're going to go to space you might as well go with halle berry. [ laughter ] well, you know, i mean here we are trying to act -- those suits are not made for gravity. we'll just say that. you're trying to act like you're on a space walk meanwhile you're on wires and it's uncomfortable and, you know, you're way too heavy to be up there. it's our job to make it look easy so hopefully we pulled it

off. >> you definitely do. last time you were on "gma" you said you take something from every one of your projects. did you take something from "moonfall"? >> why are you outing me? >> i'm not. i'm just curious. >> well, at the very least i always take my chair back with my name because i figure hopefully one day my kids will think that's cool. what did i take? i took some boots, actually. i do like to take shoes a lot. sometimes for me personally but usually i like to take things that i can sell for charity down the line so i do have some cool boots that i stole and now they'll ask for them back so thank you. [ laughter ] >> what do your kids think now? do they prefer dad as an astronaut or supervillain in "aquaman"? >> honestly my kids prefer me home. y - they're y we st this in the pandemic during -- in montreal. i couldn't go home for several

months. it's hard. that's hard on a family, like many families. for me when i show them this movie, they can at least go that's what you were doing when you were gone last fall. i'm excited for them to see it. >> we're excited for "aquaman 2" and you finished shooting it. can you give us a sneak preview? >> yep, i'll give you the whole plot. [ laughter ] >> listen -- >> it's -- i mean, of course i can't say anything. i will say james wan, the scene director and my collaborator and boss, james, doubled down on this as far as the stunts, the excitement, the humor, the fun, that's something that really made "aquaman" really soar for me. it's just the amount of fun we had on screen so we had a great time together and i can't wait to see it put together. >> patrick, it's always fun. we always have a great time with you. we appreciate your time this morning. >> good to see you guys. see you soon.

back now to remember a young life cut s back now to remember a young life cut short by gun violence

in chicago, a city overwhelmed by homicides. michelle obama and the obama presidential center are making that young girl and other victims are never forgotten. robin has the story of the tribute. >> to this day i carry haidya's story with me everywhere i go. >> reporter: this morning the oba obama's highly anticipated presidential center getting a very special touch. >> why i am so proud to announce the naming of the haidya pendleton winter garden at the obama presidential center. >> reporter: 15-year-old haidya pendleton's life was tragically taken at the hands of gun violence shortly after her drill team performed at president obama's second inauguration. >> i never had the opportunity to meet haidya while she was alive, but in the aftermath of her death at her funeral, i met her family. i met her classmates and i immediately understood the extraordinary power and potential that lay inside of

this young woman. a potential that was stolen from us by the tragedy of gun violence. >> when i learned that the winter garden would be named in honor of haidya, my heart just melted. i was at a loss for words because i knew people would be saying her name. >> reporter: widespread gun violence, a growing issue for the obamas' beloved chicago with nearly 800 murders last year. it's what president obama and i discussed last september at the center's groundbreaking. >> during my presidency talk about something i wanted to get done that i couldn't get done was get smarter common sense gun safety measures in place congress but what we can do is potentially give young people the sense that there's another way for them to empower themselves. >> reporter: they're hoping to do just that with their new presidential center. a beacon of hope right in the heart of the south side.

>> i know that haidya's loss is still raw and devastating for so many of us, especially on the south side, but hopefully this garden can help share her light with even more people for generations to come. >> such an important tribute. let's go to ginger. >> reporter: all right, and let's check those windchills because after the snow is flying, it is not going to get warmer. it is going to only get colder. we stopped at 6:00 a.m. so many folks feeling like the single digits and just gets worse through the day as winds kick up and then it's going to stay freezing through sunday so travel will even be difficult well after the snow has stopped flying. that's the big picture. a and now we have news that "cheer" is going on tour.

>> reporter: now we have news that "cheer" is going on tour. the emmy award winning docuseries is being transformed into a live performance event, the first of its kind that will showcase fan favorite cheerleaders from the nation's top two rival college programs called "cheer live" and kicks off a 38-day adventure on june 1st in san diego and we get the cast right here in new york when they visit. lara? >> hey, thanks, ginger. that sounds amazing. and so does this. i had the great opportunity to visit with chip and joanna gaines recently for the launch of their magnolia television network and that and their hit show "fixer upper" is just some of the things this dynamic duo is up to, running a media design empire, all from their backyard. ♪ welcome to waco. a rural town in west texas that has been transformed by chip and joanna into a lifestyle mecca for home design. now the king and queen of shiplap are showing me their latest project worthy of their

title. >> why is there what appears to be a castle in the middle of waco, texas, and why did you buy it? >> it's castle heights. this is our favorite neighborhood in waco. it sat vacant for probably 20 years. i think chip tried to buy this project eight different time. >> yeah. >> reporter: the private residence built to look like a castle dates back to 1908 and has long been chip's ultimate fixer fantasy. p>> so chip finally buys it and doesn't tell you. >> that's just like the nature of our relationship. it's like jo loves surprises. surprise, we got a castle. i remember he said i want to take you on a lunch date. >> reporter: that lunch date caught on camera for an upcoming episode of their beloved show "fixer upper." >> the castle! i got it. >> he scared me. >> reporter: but they weren't scared of the work. the gaines diving in, painstakingly bringing the castle back to its glory days by using futuristic tricks of the trade. >> a mantel like this, god

knows, this thing probably costs $30,000 or $50,000 in context. nowadays they would make it out of styrofoam and from the naked eye you would never know the difference. >> this is a "gma" fixer upper exclusive. styrofoam instead of plaster. >> the future. >> reporter: it's also the future of joanna's style evolution. get ready to see less shiplap and more variety. >> when we think of your style, i believe that there's a term like modern farmhouse. >> farmhouse fresh. the reason why i think the farm kind of stuck is when we first started filming "fixer" we bought the first farm house i ever touched, uncovered the shiplap. it was like gold. i was like, this is gorgeous. it's a farm house. let's expose this. then every client that came after the farm house asked for shiplap. i've evolved into -- i have a love more multiple styles and don't want to be put in a box. >> let's show her the first fixer upper. >> reporter: they take me to the house that started it all. their first joint project back

in 2013. >> that's it. get out. we're taking a selfie. >> everybody say cheese. >> yes. >> jo, how many houses in waco and the surrounding area would you say you guys have touched? >> we did the math a couple years ago and at that point it was 250 to 300. >> reporter: before the fixers there was another business. > so this is the little shop that we opened in 2003. we were married in 2003. opened up this little shop. >> wow. >> there she is. >> welcome, come on in. chip and joanna gaines, waco, texas. >> welcome to the little shop. >> come in. selfies are extra. we're charging 50% off. you don't mind if we ask collectively this question. we have always wondered for years now what is it about this show that has drawn y'all to waco, texas? why are you all here? >> we were amazed at magnolia that it was so not touristy, it

was just home. >> reporter: 1.5 million fans visited the silos last year alone. it is chip and jo's field of dreams bringing 600 new jobs to waco. >> you guys ready to see your fixer upper? >> reporter: their popularity and business savvy led to their next venture running their own tv network. almost a month into the launch it's something that still feels a little like a dream. >> that's meant for oprah winfrey. that's meant for, you know, walt disney. it's not meant for chip and joanna gaines in waco, texas. >> but here you are. >> reporter: here they are. guys, check your local listings to find that network in your cable system. so many fabulous original shows on there. two of them, "mine for design" with brian patrick flynn, and "restoration road" are amazing. we got to go on the sets, talk with the hosts and we'll post exclusive video from both and so
