saved his life. ♪ i'm the man ♪ and chip, chip, hooray. jordan spieth's big easter sunday win. his first as a dad, with two eagles, and what a moment on the green. plus, celtics' jayson tatum with this easter buzzer beater, his first ever. >> inside, tatum spins and he puts it in. celtics go up by one. >> stunning the nets' kevin durant and kyrie irving and the sold-out crowd in the ultimate new york/boston battle. good morning, america. we've got to say congratulations to jordan spieth and congratulations to the celtics. i watched that game. it hurt me, george. it really hurt me. what a great game it was though, and it is great to have linsey davis with us on this busy, busy -- very busy monday morning. >> great to be here. happy monday, everybody.

you know what that means, the clock is ticking on an important deadline. you only have a few hours in order to file your taxes. everything you need to know is coming up. we begin in ukraine. multiple air strikes hit the city of lviv. russians have given the city of mariupol surrender or be eliminated. the city has been under siege for nearly seven weeks, it's on the brink of being taken. foreign correspondent james longman is on the scene in ukraine. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, george. i'm in zaporizhzhia, towards the eastern front at a hospital. we're about 35 miles away from where the russians are. you can see this hospital is preparing for the worst. actually, as i speak to you now, we can hear an air raid siren going off. this morning, we've been meeting some of the kids who have been caught up in this war, doctors pulling shrapnel out of their bodies. this as the fight for mariupol looks to be entering its final moments. this morning, multiple air strikes rocking lviv, killing seven people, a child among the 11 injured. the east bracing for an onslaught as russia re-groups

for a renewed ground advance. this as a small group of ukrainian fighters pulled out in mariupol, dug in at the steel plant a complex with underground tunnels. russia saying surrender or be eliminated. the ukrainians rejecting that. defying the russian demands. >> as for now they still are in mariupol. >> reporter: civilian casualties in the city, massive. ukrainian officials put the number in the thousands. the true toll is unknown. some have been able to make it to safety. christina escaped days ago. like so many others, she's only now been able to reach family to tell them she's safe. she tells us she managed to get her son michael and their cat out of the city with just a bag between them and the clothes on their back. she says, we've already lost everything. our whole apartment burned down. all things burned down. we don't have anything. if we cry, nothing will change. she saved her son michael from this, shrapnel hit this 10-year-old in the spine and

hip, when a russian shell hit their home. he has to lay on his side. i was terrified, his mother says, but he ducked as the shrapnel went flying. >> you're very brave. you're like a ninja. >> reporter: someone has to be responsible for this, she says. bullets and shrapnel they're taking out of the children in the hospital. what the doctors and legal experts here are telling me is that this proves that russia is not just hitting military installations. "i've never seen anything like this in 40 years." so as we have been talking, there's been an air raid siren. the children have been sent down to the basement. with russia turning east, ukraine's second largest city, kharkiv has been pummelled by russian bombardments. president zelenskyy says in the past few days, 15 civilians have been killed. he called the offensive nothing but deliberate terror. we're all waiting for this major russian offensive to start in the east. one doctor here has told me it's already begun in this region. more and more kids are coming here every day with injuries.

george? >> james, as you reported it appears the city of mariupol is on the brink of falling. what would that mean? >> reporter: in many ways, this fight has been all about mariupol. if russia does manage to take it, that gives them a foothold which means they can threaten ukraine with invasion for years to come, george. >> we heard the austrian prime minister who met with putin last week say putin believes he's winning. is that the view on the ground there? >> reporter: no. ukrainians believe that after "moskva," the cruiser, was taken down in the black sea, russia has the ability to move into the east. the fight there is going to be easier for them than perhaps it was to take kyiv. that's why they're asking for so much more help now. >> james longman, thanks. linsey? now to north korea conducting a new round of missile tests over the weekend. the regime claims that they were a success, and have enhanced their capacity to use nuclear weapons.

our senior national correspondent terry moran has the very latest. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, linsey. north korea claims this morning that it has tested a new kind of missile in its arsenal, what they claim is a tactical guided missile designed to, quote, enhance the efficiency of tactical nukes. kim jong-un was reported to have witnessed the launch. a photo showed him clapping with glee. this is the 13th missile launch by north korea this year. just a few weeks ago, that nuclear arm regime tested its most powerful icbm yet. this all comes on the eve of military exercises between the united states and south korea. those exercises always infuriate the north. it comes also as the united states and allies are focused on the war in ukraine. this blitz of tests this year showing signs of north korea resuming testing nuclear weapons as well means that yet another american president -- this time, joe biden, is going to have to

confront the problem of a rogue regime in pyongyang, developing a full nuclear and missile capability capable of hitting the continental united states. michael? >> terry, thank you. we're going to turn now to the mass shootings in the u.s., four in just six days. the most recent in pittsburgh where gunshots were fired at a party killing two and injuring at least eight. trevor ault joins us live from pittsburgh with more. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. there were 200 people here for this party and officials say at least 90 shots were fired. this morning, there's windows smashed all around this house. some of them from bullets. others from people who were trying desperately to get away, and the horrifying truth is this is one of several mass shootings this weekend in america. this morning, authorities vowing to find the multiple shooters who opened fire at a crowded pittsburgh house party early sunday killing two teenagers, injuring eight others who were hit.

five more people hurt running for cover in the chaos. >> this goes back to having too many guns, too many illegal guns on the streets. >> reporter: it punctuated yet another violent weekend in america. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: in south carolina, saturday, a dispute erupting at columbiana mall. >> i hear, like, 20 to 30 shots inside the mall. >> reporter: officers blocking the entrances with long guns. 14 people hurt. as young as 15 and as old as 73. one person now in custody. officials are still trying to identify two other suspects seen with weapons. >> it's sad that people can't come out and do simple things anymore, with everything going on. >> reporter: then hours later, another south carolina incident. >>we were just in the club having a good time and shots just let out. >> reporter: nine people shot early sunday morning outside a hampton county club. all of it just days removed from

last week's mass shooting in brooklyn. ten people shot on the subway in the morning rush hour. accused shooter frank james now in custody. new york city mayor eric adams telling george on "this week," american cities have to take preventive action. >> i say over and over again, there are many rivers that feed the sea of violence. this is a national issue. >> reporter: and already this year, there's now been 130 mass shootings across america, and of course, individual shootings can also be devastating. police in california say last week a store owner opened fire on two shoplifters and instead hit a 9-year-old girl who was waiting for a photo with the easter bunny. michael? >> that's tragic. all right, thank you so much, trevor. joining us now is our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: michael, good morning. what we're seeing is a sustained surge in violence now two years and counting. we saw fatal shootings, not

including suicides, jump by more than 4,000 from 2019 to 2020. that's a stunning 26% increase in one year. last year the rate of increase slowed, but the total number of fatal shootings grew to 21,000. as the overall number of shootings have increased, there's been an even dramatic rise in mass shootings where four or more people are shot in a single event. look at these numbers. according to the gun violence archive, there were 417 mass shootings in 2019. by last year, that number had spiked to 693. that's an incredible 66% jump. the pace of shootings so far this year, mass shootings, may be slowing down a tad, but we appear to be maintaining a high level of such shootings. we're now in an era where we can say mass shootings are chronic, sustained, and sadly routine. george? >> okay, pierre, thanks very much. we're going to go to the white house where president biden brought back leases of public land for oil and gas drilling to combat high gas prices. the reversal of a campaign promise has angered climate

activists. mary bruce has the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: with the gas prices spiking in the wake of the war in ukraine, the president is facing a lot of pressure to do something. they're reselling gas leases on public lands, putting 144,000 acres of public land up for lease in nine states as soon as today, but this does to against the president's 2020 campaign promise not to drill on federal lands, part of that campaign pledge to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. this move now is infuriating climate activists, but the white house said simply they had no choice after the federal judge ordered the sales resume. the white house is increasing the royalties companies must pay for these drillings. it's the first increase like this in more than a century, but the president is trying to walk a fine line here trying to show he's serious about fighting climate change while also doing something to bring down the

rising gas prices. >> mary, thank you. linsey? turning to the easter snow in the midwest and now the winter storm warning. 11 states on alert for a powerful nor'easter. moving up the east coast. ginger is tracking it all. ginger, winter not ready to release its grip. >> not even close. linsey, thank you. good morning, everybody. ames, iowa, they saw more than four inches of easter snow. up to a foot in north dakota. take that cold air, pair it with the moisture that created severe storms from arkansas along the gulf coast, that's hail there, you put those together and you get what we're dealing with on this monday. that's a winter storm from west virginia up to vermont. anybody that has elevation will get the snow of it. anybody closer to the coast, it's going to be heavy rain by this afternoon and tonight and very windy. that could impact flights. a lot of people are flying, so watch that tonight as you see

storms blow through boston, portland, maine, and higher elevations again, don't forget. you'll get up to a foot of snow. some of the highest in new york. >> can't believe you're saying snow right now, ginger. throws me off, doesn't seem right. now to that massive cargo ship that's stuck in the chesapeake bay. near baltimore. it's finally free, a month after running aground. gio benitez joins us to tell us how they finally dislodged it. good morning, gio. >> reporter: michael, good morning. it was not easy and it was not quick. we actually can't see it from here, but that's a good thing, i promise, because that means the ship is moving. it was a monumental effort to free it. this morning, after 35 days stuck in the chesapeake bay, the cargo ship "ever forward" is back on the move. in new images from the u.s. coast guard, the "ever forward" finally sailing again after they refloated the thousand-foot ship with nearly 5,000 containers on board. it was a massive effort. crews dredging to a depth of 43 feet, removing 500 containers to lessen the weight.

five tugboats pushing and pulling along with two pulling barges. >> they were also trying to take advantage of the full moon and the spring tide that comes with that full moon, and what that means is that there was a higher than normal high tide which would have helped float it a little bit. >> reporter: the "ever forward" was moving from baltimore to norfolk when it got stuck in the chesapeake bay over a month ago. two other efforts to free it failing. and the concern for officials potentially damaging a natural oyster bar in the area in trying to free the ship. >> the ship is one of the largest container ships. she is three football fields long. there's a lot of things that could have gone much worse. >> reporter: the 5 million cubic feet of material removed from the bay now being used onshore to offset erosion. >> i think it's a really happy ending to the story. no one was hurt. there was no major spill, and no major environmental disaster.

>> reporter: so what's next? well, first, they have to inspect the ship and make sure it's okay. if it is, they'll go to baltimore, they'll pick up those containers that were taken off, and then it will go to norfolk where it was supposed to go originally over a month ago, guys. >> okay, gio, thanks very much. we're going to go to the nba playoffs now as an action-packed weekend, all kinds of standout performances. t.j. holmes is here to break it all down. go easy on michael, t.j. we're going start there, though, because the nba playoffs, first weekend they did their best march madness impression. we're used to buzzer beaters in the ncaa tournament. please roll that beautiful footage. >> jaylen brown kicks it out. smart fakes. inside, tatum spins, and he puts it in. celtics go up by one. >> and that's it. there's no time left on the clock.

that's really rare to see. that young fella delivers. this is going to be a great match-up in the east with the celtics taking on your nets, stray, but kyrie irving is playing all the games now. he was dealing with the vaccine all year, but this is going to be a great, great series. let me go to the bucks and bulls. this is for you, george, and your brother from another greek mother. giannis antetokounmpo, he put up 27, he's a defending nba finals mvp. i want to turn to some nba history, including the old guy and the young bucks. chris paul with the phoenix suns. he put up 30 points, 10 assists, he's the oldest player in nba history to do that in the postseason. 30 points and 10 assists and he's 36 years old. now we go to the young bucks. 19 of those points in the fourth quarter. now the young bucks. you had four guys anthony edwards, ja morant, tyrese maxey, jordan poole. all under 22 years old, all

quarterback. >> do you want to play football? >> absolutely. that's without question. >> reporter: this candid session quarterback had a training agent session with former nfl stars chad ochocinco and brandon marshall. >> what you saw out here is, that's five years of training behind the scenes to make sure i'm ready at the highest level. you don't do that if you don't have a passion and believe you'll find a way on that field. >> reporter: kaepernick acknowledges at this point he would sign as a backup. >> i know i have to find my way back in. if i have to come in as a backup, that's fine, but that's not where i'm staying. >> reporter: kaepernick did secure one 2017 meeting with the seattle seahawks, but he's heard nothing in the five years since. he's even reached out to each team and participated in numerous public exhibitions. in his pursuit of a comeback,

kaepernick trained with seattle wide receiver aaron fuller, threw with current nfl players. >> let me come in, compete, show you what i can do. >> reporter: the now-34-year-old is asking franchises and gms to see him as a no distraction team player. >> the narrative that was out there was, oh, you know it's going to be a media circus. what else comes with him? >> reporter: kaepernick helped carry san francisco to the super bowl in 2013. but he's gone from player to activist, kneeling as the national debate over police brutality ignited and paid the price for his protest. fans burned his number 7 jersey. kaepernick hasn't thrown a pass in the nfl since the 2016 season. but he's been busy. ing rolling out a netflix series. he landed a lucrative nike ad, became a children's book author, and stayed in shape for the possibility of a contract to come. >> i've had that dreams since i was a kid. i'm going to be an nfl player and i'm going to win the super bowl.

for me i have unfinished business on that front. >> you can see more of that interview on youtube, "i.m. athlete," today at noon eastern. guys, remember, it was september, 2016 when he took a knee for the first time. that was his last season in the nfl, that season he did that. he's 34 now. we were just talking. he stays in shape. he hasn't played in a while, but he can still perform probably. >> if he wants to come in as a backup, i think he could win a spot on a team in the nfl. >> the politics -- go ahead. >> no. >> you think it's the politics, not his ability? >> absolutely, without a doubt. >> thank you, t.j. we're going to get the latest on sherri papini. the california mother who faked her own kidnapping is set to plead guilty today to the 2016 hoax. kaylee hartung is in los angeles with the story. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: good morning, george. sherri papini will not face a trial by jury. she's waived that right, admitting she lied to federal agents and stole money.

this morning sherri papini facing a judge, ready to plead guilty. the mother of two set to admit her elaborate story of being abducted and abused in 2016 was all a hoax. the 39-year-old facing trial for 35 felony counts, taking a plea deal in the 11th hour. >> sherri has led us down five years of manipulation, deception, calculated deception. she had no other choice because she's caught. >> reporter: for more than five years, papini insisting she was kidnapped at gunpoint, held in captivity and tortured for 22 days by two hispanic women. but detectives discovering that she was actually staying with an ex-boyfriend and harmed herself to cover up her lies. the department of justice saying she agreed to plead guilty to one count of lying to federal agents and one count of mail fraud. the plea deal potentially dramatically reduces your prison time, recommending papini spend no more than 14 months behind bars, even though the charges

carry a sentence of up to 25 years. >> the benefit of taking a plea deal is it limits her exposure to the other remaining counts. the court can take into consideration the guidelines, but the court can go above the guidelines up to statutory maximum. >> reporter: her attorney saying she feels a lot of pain and sorrow. >> all we can do at the end of the day is the right thing. it is never too late to do the right thing. >> reporter: but the shasta county sheriff whose agency spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to investigate papini's lies, at the expense they say of tracking real crimes sees a different motivation. >> i wouldn't call this her doing the right thing. i would call this her last-ditch effort to do the best she can for herself. >> reporter: following her arrest, sherri papini was let out of jail on bond. she's been staying with family. she's expected to continue to do that until she's sentenced this summer. linsey? >> kaylee, thank you. now to an emotional reunion,

a pilot and the police officers who pulled him to safety when his plane crashed on railroad tracks just seconds before a train smashed into it. will reeve joins us now with more. good morning to you, will. >> reporter: linsey, good morning. that this reunion could even happen is amazing. imagine you're headed out for a nice flight in the sunny california skies. then your engine fails. you have to put the plane down somewhere, anywhere. railroad tracks your best option, but a train is coming. luckily, mercifully, so is help. this shocking footage caught on a police body cam. shows a california metro link train obliterating a downed plane in january. the pilot pulled to safety with no time to spare. >> go, go, go. >> reporter: quick-thinking, fast-acting lapd officers saving mark jenkins' life. >> just thinking back on that moment, hearing the train and feeling the vibrations and

hearing the crumbling metal, wow, that was close. that was really close. >> reporter: now, a reunion. jenkins meeting the four officers who saved him. our station kabc there to document the emotional and unlikely moment. >> i told them i loved them and thank you for saving my life. they did their duty and i thank them very much. >> reporter: jenkins found himself on those tracks in january after experiencing engine failure shortly after takeoff from a nearby airport. >> i knew i had to take evasive action and land somewhere that didn't kill people. i didn't have anybody in my way except for the railroad track. >> reporter: luckily, the responding officers were less than a mile away from the crash and leapt into action. >> in the moment it was just we need to take action. >> fortunately everyone made it out okay. so just doing our job. >> reporter: the ntsb and faa have been investigating the crash. there have been several incidents at the airport jenkins was using.

this morning, former arizona cardinal linebacker kylie fitts is making an early exit from professional football, taking to instagram over the weekend saying, due to too many concussions and the severity of my recent one, it's no longer safe for me to play. his last severe concussion brought his 2021 season to an early halt after just six games. in the 2021 season the nfl reported 126 concussions in regular season games. in 2017, a study of 202 deceased football players showed high rates of cte suggesting an association between repetitive head injury and cte. in response to that report, the nfl released a statement saying the medical and scientific communities will benefit from this publication and there are still many unanswered questions relating to the cause of long-term head trauma. such as cte. in 2016, the nfl announced the play smart, play safe initiative. they pledged $100 million to the

prevention and treatment of head injuries. now, the former arizona cardinals and chicago bears player kylie fitts is joining u. looks like you have your hands full. >> good morning. thanks for having us on. >> how did you make the decision that retirement was what needed i was 6 years old. it was a lifelong dream for me to play in the nfl. now that i made it and had so much potential, i feel like it was just unfortunate that i had to cut it soon due to my head injuries and just ultimately felt like it was no longer safe for me to stay out there, for my health and family. >> kaylina, what has it been like for you to watch your husband go through these medical

struggles and ultimately deciding to retire at 27? >> it was hard. it was a scary night. it was an away game. i had no idea what was going on. he was super out of it, so i didn't even talk to him for a few hours until he felt a little okay, and then he was still a little out of it when i spoke to him. it's just hard. he's my husband. i love him. i want him to be healthy and happy. i support him. i think this was the best decision for us. >> kylie, what aspect of your health were you most concerned about when you were out there taking those hits? >> i've had about five concussions. my last one being really severe. it hospitalized me and it was really scary for me. i felt like i was on the verge of going brain dead. it was just the long-term effects, seeing all the research coming out about former players dealing with a lot of these cte symptoms and things like that.

ultimately i just want to be here providing for these twins when i'm 40, 50 years old and down the line, and just looking out for my future health. >> how old are the twins, by the way? >> 11 weeks. >> oh, wow. i'm sure that was part of the decision as well, so you can spend time as a full-time dad. kaylina, any changes or support you feel is necessary in order to help prevent these head injuries? >> i just think that the research needs to continue. i'm glad it already is and then, i would just like to see the nfl never stop researching, especially the older guys that it has affected. i'm glad it's a conversation that's starting to happen. >> kylie, we just heard in the piece that the nfl has pledged $100 million. do you feel there's anything should have done in order to - protect you and others? >> yeah. i think they're doing a good job

of making the game safer by implementing penalties, the concussion protocols. this year they're adding padded helmets. they're continuing to make it more safe for us. i think my biggest thing would severity of the problems that a lot of these guys go through with other nfl -- former nfl guys that are going through the same thing and having a lot of the same struggles. i feel like the nfl just needs to do a better job of making aware the risks these players put themselves through with these concussions. >> kylie, kaylina, we thank you so much for talking with us and bringing the girls on. all the best to you both. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> george, we'll send it back to you. >> thank you, linsey. now to "gma" investigates.

mainstream online parenting groups are increasingly exposed to dangerous misinformation. watched her post shared hundreds of times and she recognized the risk. >> people saw me as a health authority. i could post anything and they would take it as fact. >> reporter: renee researches disinformation at stanford's internet observatory. >> why are some parents going to these online groups? rather than established medical websites. >> you have to know what medical websites to trust. you don't know if you're getting reputable information. >> with a parenting group, you can ask a direct question and feel like you're crowdsourcing the best information. >> exactly, and you feel like, you know, you're hearing from your friends, you're getting social feedback. oftentimes people who are the most passionate about sharing information are not sharing the right information.

>> have you achieved "deaf utopia"? ♪ >> reporter: if breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes equals everything perfect -- >> congratulations, nyle. you are america's next top model. >> reporter: -- nyle dimarco nailed it. >> i remember when i first won "america's next top model" my mom actually ran backstage and she came on set and immediately, i said, i want to change the world. >> "coda." >> reporter: -- within a changing o momt.r:t'a gn of the mes. >> was the oscars a watershed moment? >> truly. what most people don't realize is that along with "coda" we had something from our community represented in five different categories. >> reporter: now, a new book revealing his roots in representing deaf culture, his love letter to a way of life. >> how many times do hearing

people say to you, deafness, it's a disability and you say no, no, no? deafness is a culture. >> absolutely. absolutely. so many times hearing people will question whether or not we have a culture. they're hesitant to believe that it even exists, but, in fact, we have a language, which means we have culture, and i do hope this book provides a little bit more insight to those people and they see my upbringing. >> reporter: four generations of italian deaf dinners, drive and determination. >> mom, you knew you had to be an advocate. why? >> because of my parents. i'm going to cry. sorry. because of my parents. they went to an oral school growing up. they weren't allowed to use sign language. i decided when i had kids, their right to language is american sign language. >> she taught us there was no

glass ceiling, that we could do whtever we wanted. didn't matter if we could hear or not. >> here we are in the theater. >> it feels good. feels good. >> reporter: life lessons nyle took to his alma mater, gallaudet, the famed university for the deaf in washington, d.c., setting the stage for an award winning career while inspiring younger deaf dreamers to be the change. >> if somebody had told me five years ago that i would have won two different reality tv shows, that i would have produced two different docu-series on netflix, that one of those would be nominated for an oscar, and that i would be writing a book, i would absolutely say it was impossible. >> "deaf utopia." >> i'm achieving it. i think slowly, bit by bit, but i'll never be satisfied. i'm insatiable and always want ter: ayoe,

guys, nyle is a tremendous advocate for inclusion and representation in the entertainment industry. this morning you're all going to represent. i'm going to teach you three very important words. okay, michael, we're starting with you. are you ready? >> i'm ready. let's go. >> reporter: okay. here we go. good. all right. you're signing good. >> i like it. >> reporter: linsey. morning. morning. >> morning. >> reporter: you got it. and george, america. america. >> america. >> reporter: you guys ready? >> do it together now. >> reporter: all together now. good -- here we go. good morning, america. yes! deaf applause. there we go. and don't forget this, guys. i love you. that's to all your loyal viewers. i love you. >> thank you, kyra. that was great. coming up, dinner ideas that take 30 minutes or less. coming

we are back with ali slagle out with a new cookbook "i dream of dinner so you don't have to." this is filled with rewards. >> nothing takes more than ten ingredients or 45 minutes. >> i love the launch of your book day. >> it was my grandma's birthday.

there she is. she's a prolific home cook. i have to tell her belated happy birthday. >> happy birthday, grandma. we're going to start with pasta. >> her birthday present is pasta. if you want to go ahead and add olive oil, anchovies, garlic. it has these pantry ingredients that are super punchy. we have the garlic, the anchovy, but we also have capers, olives. they're just briny, salty things that can't not taste amazing. so this is the key. this is to tomato paste. you have to simmer that for a really long time. to taste great. about 30 minutes. this tomato paste is already cooked down for us. as you fry it in olive oil, come look at this. look at this color. it's like bright red tomato. do you smell that salt and punch? it's just amazing.

that right there becomes sauce when we add water. this is the magic trick. add the dry pasta to that. >> no boiling the pasta. >> no. this book is about little tricks that expedite cooking but never ever compromise flavor. this already tastes amazing. add the pasta. add the spinach. >> how long does this boil? >> ten minutes. but the key is, the pasta releases starch and makes the liquid super creamy. and then the pasta drinks up that kit. it can't not taste amazing. >> we used two pans, but you can do one. >> it's harder to use two pans. here's a third pan. this is what you have. this is it. can you smell that? look at that deep tomato flavor. >> it smells so good. >> asks so little of you, but if you want to toast breadcrumbs on top for some crunch, no problem. that's all. >> now we have chicken. >> chicken thighs. salt and pepper those. chicken thighs, i think about

them wearing superhero capes. they're so nice to us. you can walk away. you can overcook them and they don't get dry. they're very forgiving. they're so nice to us. there we go, perfect. as we put them in the pan, they will get this super brown color. >> you have to leave them alone for a while. >> it's better not to do anything to them. go do something else. go feed the cat. call your grandma. don't do anything. this shiny stuff, this is chicken fat. as the skin renders, this chicken fats is savory. we're going to cook our side dish. add the peas. i like frozen better than fresh. they're super sweet all year round. here's chilies and vinegar. you can add water. i'm always thinking about how you add flavor really quickly. this pickled chili does this. now, do you want to taste one of these. this is a sugar snap pea.

you don't really have to cook them, but we just get tennell off a little bit. this is the side dish. >> put it right on top. >> right on top. the thing about the recipes in this book they're so flexible, you can use whatever you have to make what you feel like cooking. if you have broccoli, that's great. add some herbs. >> excellent. that was great -- ali, thank you. happy birthday, grandma. "i dream of dinner" is available today. scan the qr code on your screen. let's go to ginger. >> it is spring break for so many folks and they're road tripping. i recently took an eco road trip in an electric vehicle in a new series called "branching out." we did it with nat geo. you can see it starting today. we were fixing forests. we were cleaning up the oceans, and it was the whole fam. you can join ben, the boys, and me as we all learned we could do

cloud cover later on today.ld do 60's to low 70's. on and off shower chances through ♪ life is a highway ♪ ♪ life is a highway ♪ now we're kicking off our weeklong series charged up because gas prices are way up. many drivers are looking to electric vehicles as an alternative. cars.com says searches for so-called evs went up nearly 200% earlier this spring. ginger is going on an epic adventure across the u.s. to see what going electric is all about. >> when we got an ev, our family

and friends and everybody had the same questions. where are you going to charge? we charge in our garage. the second question was, what if you had to take a road trip? that's a great question. this time of year so many of you might be planning a road trip, so we wanted to show you what it would look like if you were to go electric. we want you to come along with us as, it's all week, we'll share the challenges and benefits of doing a road trip in an ev. i'm going to leave right now. >> now? i have a few questions. >> i'm going to detroit. i grew up in michigan. so many people take a trip to south florida. we're going to make a couple of stops in between, but we'll end up on the beautiful beaches of miami. >> time-wise, what's the difference between charging an electric vehicle and actually just filling up the gas-powered cars? >> that's going to be one of our biggest challenges. it takes three to four times as long than it does to fill up with gas, so that's a big inhibitor for people.

look at those bottles. ma's water obviously. if it were gas it represents one way use in gallons. guess how many. >> i did the math earlier. >> he's been looking at this like a party trick. 65 gallons. that's just one way. >> one way? >> one way. this is what we're going to be saving in gas. you know that means savings. >> 65 gallons of gas is a lot of savings right. when you're traveling, how hard is it to find stations to charge your car? >> well, it can be difficult unless you plan, right, and so you have to do the planning ahead of time. it's very much better for the environment. transportation one of our biggest emitters when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions. you're not only saving you, but for the charging,nment.- this one way trip $120 is what we anticipate spending. if we to do it in gas, $256. >> that's if you're light on the pedal. >> that's not where the savings

end, right, if you have an ev you don't have oil changes, the maintenance costs are way lower. over the lifetime of the car, plus the tax incentives, there $2,500 the minimum, up to $7,500 depending where you live. >> i need to get an electric car right now. you have one. your family got one. >> yeah. >> you're taking a road trip this week in an electric vehicle of course. >> we're not -- >> are you taking yours? >> no, no. we actually rented one which is possible now. on the last one with the family, we rented a different make and model. you can check out different evs before you go jump in and buy one. >> you can rent one, test it out. this is a nice one you rented. you're going right now. >> yes. >> we didn't want you to leave without snacks. this is heavy.

>> this is heavy. i can't do all the driving myself. my buddies, they've been in the car a lot with me storm chasing. samantha, chris, we can't wait. it's happening. >> i got some corn nuts. they don't smell good in a closed car. open up the windows when you're on the road. >> i'm also not traveling in heels by the way. listen, you had a lot of questions about the batteries, the recycling, we're going to answer all those questions. >> the batteries, the recycling, all the different technologies, this is definitely the future and we'll cover that over the week. >> you'll take my heels. >> i'll take these back into the studio. we have music on our road trip. and we have music coming up. p.j. morton joins us live with a special performance. ginger, what are you sitting here with me for? get in the car and go. great to see you. >> all right. nd go. great to see you. great to see you. >> alhi, i'm mike holmes.
