it has been a breathless week in british politics. it began with the resignation of two senior ministers belonging to boris johnson's government earlier this week over the latest political scandal to hit the prime minister unleashed a political revolt within his own party. this morning, britain's boris johnson fighting for his political life after his own party turned on him. no longer trusting him to lead the country. >> it is clearly the will of the conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore, a new prime minister. the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. >> reporter: he was badly wounded by so-called party gate, a series of drunken gatherings at the residence that broke pandemic lockdown rules. the final straw was a revelation

that johnson not only promoted a law maker accused of several things, and that he lied saying he didn't know about it. >> isn't this the first recorded case of the sinking ship fleeing the rat? >> reporter: johnson was remaining defiant. all amid a massive cost of living crisis hitting britain hard. this morning the pressure too much to take. >> my friends, in politics no one is remotely indispensable. i know there will be many people who are relieved and perhaps quite a few will also be disappointed. i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. t thems the breaks. >> reporter: this is an

astonishing fall from grace for boris johnson. he was always surrounded by controversy. he had an uncomfortable relationship with the truth, according to his critics, and all that caught up with him. britain will now start the search for the next prime minister. >> okay, ian pannell, thanks very much. boris johnson's reign was very short and he led the fight to lead britain out of the european union, brexit. >> i know, but he was so defiant about staying in office. >> he wanted to hold on. it was impossible. you've never seen anything like this. dozens of your own government ministers saying we are gone. we can't stand by you. now to the latest in the deadly holiday parade rampage outside of chicago. the shooter making his first court appearance and prosecutors say he admitted to opening fire on spectators killing seven of them, and they say he contemplated carrying out a second attack as well. alex perez is in highland park with more. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin.

for the first time we're hearing from the suspect's father who maintains the family did not know the suspect was going to carry out that attack. this morning, questions mounting as to how the gunman behind the deadly fourth of july rampage was able to legally obtain five guns after a series of red flags. authorities promising a criminal investigation into the potential culpability of his father who sponsored the suspect's application to obtain a firearm owner's i.d. because he was under 21 despite a prior suicide attempt and alleged threats to kill his family. >> there is ongoing criminal prosecution and a criminal investigation, issues of culpability, liability, who may have responsibility. >> reporter: overnight the father speaking to abc news. >> i love my son, but it's devastating to everyone involved. >> reporter: claiming he was unaware of some of those incidents when he sponsored the application. >> i filled out the consent form to allow my son to go through the process.

they do background checks, whatever that entails. >> reporter: his son, 21-year-old robert crimo, waking up behind bars this morning, denied bail, after prosecutors say he confessed to the highland park massacre that left seven people dead and more than 30 injured. >> this has taken us by complete surprise. three days before the fourth my wife had asked him, do you have if i plans for the fourth? and he simply said no. >> reporter: new details after the suspect's alleged confession, authorities saying he considered carrying out a second attack on another celebration, driving from highland park to madison, wisconsin, armed with another firearm and 60 rounds of ammunition. >> he seriously contemplated using the firearm he had in his vehicle to commit another shooting. >> reporter: this as we learn more about the seven people who lost their lives. eduardo uvaldo, who was going to turn 70 this week, after returning from a paris trip with his wife to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

>> he was just the perfect father, perfect grandfather, perfect great-grandfather and perfect father-in-law. >> reporter: this 2-year-old boy aiden rescued from the chaos pulled from underneath his parents' bodies after they were killed in the massacre. our stephanie ramos is speaking with lauren silva about those terrifying moments. >> he kept saying, is mama, dada okay? and it was hard to look at him in the face and say, it's going to be okay when i didn't know if it was. >> reporter: silva, enlisting the help of another couple, to eventually unite aiden with his grandparents. >> it's a time when strangers come together and you just do. you just act and they were doing the same thing that i was doing. >> reporter: and the suspect's father says he did not live with his wife or son at the time of those prior incidents. the suspect is due back in court july 28th. robin? >> all right, alex, thank you. we'll bring in chief legal analyst dan abrams.

and, dan, we heard in alex's report from the father of the shooter who is now being investigated because he sponsored his son's application to get a gun when he was under the age of 21. even though his son had previously threatened to take his own life and kill his family. so what type of charges could the father be facing here, dan? >> well, there could be serious charges, no doubt about it, because in the state of illinois, when a minor applies for a firearm, a parent has to sponsor them and a parent signs the following, that they, quote, shall be liable for any damages resulting from the minor applicant's use of firearms or firearm ammunition. and that is exactly what happened here. now, that's a civil standard, but it would certainly apply potentially to the criminal law as well. so an aggressive prosecutor could decide on involuntary manslaughter, for example. but, remember, he is saying, his lawyer is saying, he didn't know about this incident that had happened then and that would be relevant in evaluating possible criminal charges. >> do you think this tactic will become a new tool for prosecutors in mass shootings

moving forward? >> absolutely. we've already seen it in the state of michigan in the case, for example, of school shooter ethan crumbley where the parents didn't sign a document like this and they were charged with involuntary manslaughter for simply not doing enough to stop him. >> we'll see what happens, dan. thank you. t.j.? >> robin, there was potentially another fourth of july mass shooting. this one apparently thwarted when a person said he heard two people talking about an attack in richmond, virginia, called police and police then arrested the two. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is in washington with more on this. pierre, good morning. >> reporter: t.j., good morning. today officials in richmond, virginia, are claiming they narrowly averted their own independence day massacre. authorities say the alleged plot was stopped by a concerned citizen who overheard a suspicious conversation and called police. these two men were allegedly caught with a high-powered assault rifle, a handgun and more than 200 rounds of ammunition. no word on motive. police claim they were planning

a mass shooting for the city's july 4th celebration. that citizen is being hailed as a hero who saved so many lives. the citizen saw something and said something. george? >> thank goodness for that. pierre, thanks very much. we're going to get the latest on the war in ukraine and a rare inside look at an elite group of american veteran volunteers as the fierce battle for the eastern part of the country intensifies. our foreign correspondent james longman is on the scene in ukraine. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, george. quite a lot of foreigners have come here to ukraine to help. defying all the advice against it. we've been able to meet up with an elite group of u.s. veterans. they showed us their safe house where they were planning a mission. this morning an elite group of u.s. veterans take us inside their preparations for a secret mission. >> this is the safe house. >> reporter: dark horse is a group of former u.s. special forces personnel and navy s.e.a.l.s. veterans here in ukraine to provide expert medical support. >> there's a need for advanced

tactical medicine. if you have the capability, you have the responsibility to help respond. >> reporter: underneath this d scarrebyar -ll hasak a directed- nker to the group's secret center of operations. >> let's take a look at the board. >> reporter: we can't show you their plans in detail but the group is headed out to support an operation on the frontline. >> the intent is to provide the frontline medical support. >> the big kid on the block just picked on the smaller kid on the block and invaded across their borders. i think does it really matter they're ukrainian lives? they're lives. >> reporter: these guys are about to head off on their mission now. the biden administration is prepared to give ukraine heavy weapons. well, these guys are prepared to give their lives. now new details of those two americans currently held in eastern ukraine by russian-backed proxies. alex drueke and andy huynh captured volunteering with ukrainian fighters. drueke's mother recorded a phone call with alex on tuesday where he provided new information about his fellow captive. >> i saw him about a week ago

when we did our last set of interviews. he was healthy. he was in good spirits. >> reporter: now as you've seen there the threat of death or capture is real. so whether people are coming here to fight or offer that medical support, all the advice from the state department is the same, no one should be coming to ukraine. robin? >> all right, james, thank you for that report. now to the finger-pointing over the rash of flight cancellations and delays this summer. united airlines is blaming the faa but the agency is firing right back at the carrier. our transportation correspondent gio benitez is right here to break it down for us. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, robin. good morning. they are blaming, in part the faa over staffing at air traffic control centers. take a look. this is the coo to employees, quote, the reality is that there are just more flights scheduled industrywide than the atc staffing system can handle. until that is resolved we expect the u.s. aviation system will remain challenged this summer and beyond. the airline, of course, also

blaming weather. as you said, the faa is firing back saying in a statement to abc news, on july 3rd and 4th there were no faa staffing-related delays at all yet airlines still canceled over 1,100 flights, a quarter of which were united airlines flights. we will continue to meet our responsibility to hold airlines accountable. so while that finger-pointing continues, travelers keep facing a mess at airports, most experts believe the problems will start to ease up in the fall. t.j., we can only hope. >> we can only hope, all right, blame the weather. maybe it's ginger zee's fault. thank you so much. definitely not. sorry about that, ginger. we turn to what is a major step in the fight against the coronavirus. the fda now allowing pharmacists to prescribe the covid antiviral medication paxlovid in a move that should dramatically increase access to the drug. our trevor ault joins us with more. trevor, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, t.j. yeah, this could make a very big difference very quickly with so many people testing positive from the new omicron strain. the fda is revising its

emergency authorization here. it's going to allow these pharmacists to prescribe the covid pill paxlovid. up until now only doctors, physician's assistants and certain nurses could prescribe it. this could speed up the process because paxlovid should be taken as soon as you are confirmed to be positive for covid-19 and it has to be taken within five days of the onset of your first symptoms. but if you're planning on going to a pharmacist and want to get this prescription you've got to talk to them about your full health profile and any other drugs you might be taking just like you would with your doctor. guys? >> another tool. good to have it. thanks to much, trevor. guys, you want to head across the pond? >> let's do it. >> wimbledon. men's semifinal match that will be watched closely if it comes off at all because superstar rafael nadal says he's not sure if he's going to be able to play tomorrow against controversial aussie nick kyrgios due to injury that threatened to derail his quarterfinal match. lara is lie there at wimbledon,

the all england club with so much more for us. good morning, lara. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. you're right. rafael nadal has nothing left to prove. he has more grand slam titles than any other man in this sport. but it's that will to win that has pushed him through to the semifinals here at wimbledon and that same tireless will that could cost him a shot at another title. >> and yet again rafael nadal finds a way. >> reporter: rafael nadal once again on his way to the top. the 22-time major champion just narrowly knocking out american hopeful taylor fritz in yesterday's wimbledon quarterfinals in london. >> a huge well-deserved round of applause for this american. >> reporter: in a nail-biting tiebreak after more than four hours of play, nadal fighting through abdominal issues, taking a medical time-out earlier in the match, clearly in pain, his serving, which typically reaches 120 miles an hour -- >> average speeds way down.

>> reporter: -- barely going above 100. >> i had to find a way to serve different. for a lot of moments i was thinking, maybe i will not be able to finish the match. >> reporter: the spaniard making clear he's not sure if he will be well enough to play in the next round. >> i can't give you a clear answer because if i give you a clear answer and tomorrow when another thing happens, i will be a liar. so, i can't. >> reporter: the two-time wimbledon champ set to take on 27-year-old australian nick kyrgios in friday's semifinals whose epic quarterfinal win yesterday -- >> kyrgios with a breakthrough. into his first major semifinal. >> reporter: -- came amid legal trouble. just a day earlier receiving a summons to australian court next month for allegedly assaulting a former girlfriend late last year. >> obviously everyone else was asking questions and it didn't really affect my preparation at all. i knew i stayed true to myself and give my best performance today. >> reporter: meanwhile, novak djokovic also taking aim at the title. >> oh, my goodness.

look at that. he's flat on his belly. >> reporter: this sliding return helping to propel him to the semifinals. so we'll see all the men's action tomorrow. this morning, we are gearing up for the women's semifinals and the first match is a great story. two friends facing off against each other, we've got 34-year-old mother of two, tatjana maria in her first grand slam semi up against ons jabeur, the 27-year-old tunisian who becomes the first arab woman to play in a grand slam singles semifinal. two first-timers facing off and you can watch it on our sister network espn. for now back to you all in the studio. >> we'll be back to you for a special "pop news" a little later. >> looking forward to that. coming up here, brittney griner in court in russia this morning. the wnba star's wife has talked to president biden. we're going to tell you what the administration says it's doing to bring her home. first, ginger is right here. >> they're going to be doing surveys in ohio today, the damage from what was likely a tornado.

british prime minister boris johnson has resigned. also right now the shooter in the deadly holiday parade rampage made his first court appearance admitting to opening fire killing seven of them and considered carrying out a second attack on another holiday celebration. a key witness agreed to testify before the house committee on the january 6th attack on the capitol. sources tell abc, pat cipollone, former white house counsel to president trump, will sit for a videotaped interview tomorrow following weeks of negotiations with the committee. cipollone was one of the few aides with former president trump on january 6th whose testimony could be significant. take a look -- let me start with this. he is okay. a toronto construction worker dangling high above the ground from a crane. the worker's hand got stuck and he was entangled in the tag line. he was trying to hook something up and got tangled up with it. got stuck and got lifted. thankfully he was lowered to safety.

scheduled for july 14th. brittney griner was led into court clutching a photo of her wife. later this video of griner in a holding cell, facing five to ten years in prison after russian police say they found vape cartridges in her luggage containing hashish oil. the trial resuming after president biden received a handwritten letter she wrote from prison, the message reading, in part, i'm terrified i might be here forever, adding please don't forget about me and the other american detainees. the 31-year-old last seen apearing in a russian court friday for the start of her trial shackled and surrounded by armed guards. >> brittney, how do you feel? >> reporter: the white house calling her detention, which has been extended until december, unlawful. on wednesday the president and vice president calling griner's

wife directly. >> this has been top of mind for the president. he receives daily updates about the status of her negotiations to secure brittney's release and the u.s. government continues to work aggressively using every available means to bring her home. >> reporter: today marks 140 days since the olympic gold medalist has been detained and the public pressure continues to mount. in an open letter signed by over 1,000 black female leaders, including legendary coach dawn staley, activist bernice king and tina knowles lawson, they write to the president the rhetoric does not appear to align with the actions taken to date. overnight, 5,000 miles from where wnba star brittney griner is isolated fighting for freedom in a russian court -- >> brittney griner, bg. >> president biden, please help bring bg home.

>> reporter: -- her family and friends are making one thing clear, brittney isn't in this battle alone. >> as the days continue to increase that my wife is wrongfully detained in russia i've adapted her mindset in my efforts to get her home by going no matter what or how i feel. i honestly can't rest until she's home. >> martha joined by rachel scott. martha, let me begin with you. the stakes are climbing. the russians clearly seeing brittney griner as a serious bargaining chip. >> reporter: they sure do, george. the center of this, of course, the war in ukraine which certainly adds to the stakes. but former u.s. marine trevor reed who had been detained by the russians was freed in april, but you have paul whelan who has been there almost three years, but griner is a public figure and that adds to her value for the russians. what they long wanted is a prisoner exchange for a russian arms dealer named viktor bout who has been in a u.s. prison

since 2008. he is not someone the u.s. wants to release, but the u.s. also wants all these detainees brought home, george. >> that's right. rachel, the white house working hard, they say, doing everything they can. what's going on behind the scenes? >> reporter: yeah, many are calling for that prisoner swap but this is a delicate balance for the biden administration. on one hand they do want to get brittney griner home as quickly as possible, but at the other hand they really do not want to say anything that could possibly jeopardize her potential release. they are under immense pressure and it's not just from griner's family, but also from the family of paul whelan. they say paul whelan has written hundreds of letters to the biden administration and other administration officials. they've been pleading for a meeting at the white house, a call from the president, and they say after more than three years they are still waiting, george. >> okay, thanks to both of you. >> the griner family when i sat down with cherelle at their home in phoenix, they have been very clear about mentioning the other detainees and even brittney griner in her letter to president biden mentioned the

other detainees, just not making it about themselves. >> power in numbers. >> yes, indeed. we want to turn to air travel. how is that going for you? delays, cancellations? even if you get on your plane you got very little legroom. flying is just a blast these days, ain't it? one airline is trying to bring a little bit of luxury to economy class. gio benitez is back. gio, i need you to deliver on this report. >> reporter: look how comfy they look, t.j. they really do. this is good news that the airline, they'll start flying nonstop between new zealand and new york. we all know that struggle with seats and legroom in economy. so this morning that burning question, could this someday be the future of economy travel? with cancellations and delays making air travel feel like a nightmare for so many, planes are also jam packed. passengers ending up with less and less room over the past few decades. the cheapest seats today are about 17 inches wide. in the '90s they were about two inches wider. >> airlines have generally

really focused on business class suites and first class, but there hasn't been a lot of innovation in economy over the years. >> reporter: now this morning one airline says it's changing that. air new zealand unveiling the skynest. bunk beds for economy passengers to get some shut-eye without having to break the bank on first class seats. these are some of the most exclusive lie-flat seats available from international carriers, singapore airlines suite and the emirates airline suite. there's even a bar and shower on board. but the cost, as high as $30,000 a seat. while the airline hasn't revealed the cost, it's sure to be far less than those exclusive first class seats. >> i think people are excited because finally economy class passengers get some pretty cool perks. >> reporter: there will be six beds in the skynest and t.j. they'll be equipped with cooling

pillows. >> okay, skynest. i like that name but is this something you just buy one ticket or you have to book this skynest in addition to your regular seat? >> reporter: so, look, passengers in economy and premium economy can book one of the skynest beds for a four-hour session separately from their seat. there will be an extra cost but far, far less than first class. >> new york to new zealand. what about -- i'm just going to atlanta. when can i get this hookup? [ laughter ] >> reporter: you really need some sleep, huh? this is where i'm the wah-wah correspondent. right now, no. even air new zealand is only rolling it out in two of their planes but it's safe to say we will probably see that on the 17-hour flight to new york so good news there. coming up, the magic behind the music of "stranger things" how the hit show is propelling throwbacks back up the charts. come on back. , but i was still masking my depression. sweetie, is everything alright? yeah, i'm fine. honey, are you ok? yeah, i'm fine. it was time to do something. so i managed to move up my next doctor appointment.

and addressed not just the people gathered here, but the nation about his political future. it's come to an end. >> it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party and, therefore, a new prime minister. and i've agreed with the chairman of our back bench mps that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. >> reporter: so this is an incredible fall from grace. remember, boris johnson was elected three years ago in 2019. he was seen as something of a political master strategist but he was also deeply flawed. there were a number of missteps, partygate which was a series of social gatherings that took place here in downing street during the pandemic but with the recent revelation he hired someone, promoted someone, who not only had a record of drunkenness but serious allegations of sexual misconduct and he then lied to the nation

about whether or not he knew. that came to light. his party, his closest colleagues, turned against him, and he was forced to go. george? >> what a turn, ian pannell, thanks very much. robin? we turn, george, to the latest in the deadly holiday parade rampage outside of chicago.cu y he admitted to opening fire on spectators killing seven, injuring many others. let's go back to alex perez there in highland park for us. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning once again, robin. authorities say they have surveillance images of the suspect the day of the attack. his family is speaking out. they say they had no idea what he was going to do. this morning, questions mounting as to how the gunman behind the deadly fourth of july rampage was able to legally obtain five guns after a series of red flags. authorities promising a criminal investigation into the potential culpability of his father who sponsored the suspect's application to obtain a firearm

owner's i.d. because he was under 21 despite a prior suicide attempt and alleged threats to kill his family. >> there is ongoing criminal prosecution and a criminal investigation, issues of culpability, liability, who may have responsibility. >> reporter: the father speaking to abc news overnight. >> i love my son, but it's devastating to everyone involved. >> reporter: claiming he was unaware of some of those incidents when he sponsored the application. >> i filled out the consent form to allow my son to go through the process. they do background checks, whatever that entails. >> reporter: his son, 21-year-old robert crimo, waking up behind bars denied bail after prosecutors say he confessed to the highland park massacre that left 7 people dead and more than 30 injured. >> this has taken us by complete surprise. three days before the fourth my wife had asked him, do you have any plans for the fourth. he simply said no. >> reporter: in new details

after the suspect's alleged confession, authorities saying he considered carrying out a second attack on another celebration. driving from highland park to madison, wisconsin, armed with another firearm and 60 rounds of ammunition. the suspect is due back in court july 28th. he has not yet entered a plea. guys? >> all right, alex, thank you. coming up on our "gma morning menu," brad pitt is talking about a rare condition known as face blindness. we'll tell you what it is and how it's treated. lara is in london serving up a special edition of "pop news" live from across the pond, including who is runway at paris fashion week. go, lara. we're going to check in with the bachelorettes. we have two of them. yes, rachel, gabby, both here live. they'll chat about this new season. stay with us here on "gma," folks. we are right back. amos ] my designs bring the vibrance of the world into my home. these pieces tell my story. now you can tell yours.

the a-list actor describing the disorder in an "esquire" magazine article saying so many people hate me because they think i'm disrespecting them. i took one year where i just said this year i'm going to cop to it and say to people, okay, where did we meet? but it just got worse. people were more offended. >> off the top of my head i had a say you're looking at jim brown, a miss daisy. >> reporter: how do you know if you have face blindness? if you have trouble following movie plots because the actors look the same to you or have difficulty recognizing a family member in a context where you aren't supposed to see them you may have prosopagnosia. >> it is such an abstract concept and hard for medical professionals to understand. >> reporter: while there's no cure for this, experts say there are some methods to help like memorizing a part of the face that's unique if someone wears glasses or has a birthmark. pitt has not been officially diagnosed with this condition, but there's testing available. t.j.? >> that is fascinating. has to be scary for somebody. >> surprising story. thank you, kaylee.

[ cheers and applause ] >> hey, tom and savannah. >> hey, good to see you. >> how are you doing? >> how are you? >> oh, savannah. >> hello, everyone. >> savannah is the first dog to walk all the way around the world. you adopted her right at the beginning of the journey. how did that happen? >> well, i spent like four months camping on my own and after, you know, enough nights sleeping on your own and hearing things, i thought it would be nice to have a dog with me and stopped in austin and first day there, i went into the adoption center and she was just a little puppy and i thought this is perfect. it will be the only life she knows and that was that. >> how did she help you along the way? >> there's a lot about companionship. when i got her was really -- i got her to protect me, i thought, at night, you know,

very utilitarian but eventually we spent so much time together and you camp in all these strange places, it was nice to have someone, something th beside me to share everything. >> you say this is the only life she knows, life on the road. i mean, is she bored now walking around the living room? >> my dad takes her for a four-mile walk in the morning. she's 7. it's time for retirement. >> she looks that way right now. >> looks like she's resting right now. >> what inspired you to take this journey? >> i had a friend at 17 who passed away and it was very formative for me. i realized i could go at any moment. when i thought what i wanted out of life i knew i wanted to travel. i wanted to have adventure and i wanted to understand the world and so walking around the world seemed like the best way to solve all those things and then it was eight years of saving and

going to school and paying off loans and living at home and working and saving. and then i was able to begin, but it basically has dominated my life for like 15 years essentially from when my friend passed to completion a month ago. >> so sorry for your loss. >> a good person, thank you. >> bless your heart. there had to be so many incredible moments. what are the ones that will stay with you over those seven years traveling around the world, walking around the world? >> there's a lot. the one that comes to mind is savannah and i were up in the chilean andes at about 15,000 feet and we had been up there for five days and in the morning, i collapsed in the sand night before because the wind gh was so strong and laying there and first calculating how much do i have, how much water, everything like that and then savannah comes over and lays beside me and it just let me take in that we had walked a year and a half to get down there and i was with her who i never thought i was going to have on this great adventure and

so it was just like such a -- it was such a low and then such a high when she came and sat beside me and able to take it all in. >> how about people you met along the way? >> great people everywhere. people helped me out in probably every country. 99.9% of the people are good. and, yeah, i've been helped everywhere. i have a lot of faith after this, yeah. a lot of trust. >> we talk about savannah getting bored now being back. what do you do now? are you bored around the house? what are you doing? >> i'm enjoying waking up in a bed and every morning i wake up in bed and go, oh, i can sleep in and go back to bed but i'll be working on a book and doing some talks and stuff like that so i'll keep busy. but, no, right now i'm just enjoying not traveling. >> how did you plot it out? what was the route? >> so it was jersey down to panama and then colombia down to uruguay, denmark to kyrgyzstan so the main considerations was basically how do i get to every continent and do that without bureaucratic trouble. as minimal visas as possible so

like the total walking time was actually about 5 1/2 years, but with covid and fell ill after south america. >> you did? >> i lost like -- i'm skinny, i lost like 45 pounds. >> wow. >> from my illness and then recovered and got back to it. it's really just, you know, doing a little bit of, you know, walking around the world is a little bit of work every day and then setting it aside and doing it again the next day and same with the recovery and just having that vision in mind. >> wow. >> going to work every day. >> i guess you're over the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. they say you ate thousands. >> peanut butter and jelly nonstop for lunch and then pasta at night and, you know, peanut utter is a great food. protein and fat and salt and everything in there. but, yeah, i'm -- i'm glad to be back in the land of pizza. >> we heard you were over it so we thought we'd just get you some peanut butter and jelly sandwich. >> these are the good ones, too. [ laughter ]

cannot talk. fonsi, thanks for the cue. i got a little excited. jumped in early talking about "the bachelorette." the premiere is next week. a season like no other. "bachelorette" has two bachelorettes, rachel recchia and gabby windey are here in studio with me. thank you for being here. how does this work? we usually know how the show works so now we have two women and how many guys competing over the two women? how does this work? >> yeah, that's the big question. >> okay. >> so is there a twist? really how does this work? >> yeah, i mean, we are each on our own journeys so we start out dating the same pool of men, the 32 men. and then i feel like the story

kind of tells itself once you tune in july 11th. >> okay, are there roses involved still? are you giving roses out in ceremonies? >> there are still roses involved. those are still there. but, yeah, like she said there's going to be different twists and turns, it's different than anyone's ever seen before so we're really excited. >> have to ask the next question. what happens then if the two ladies are interested in the same guy? >> another popular question. >> and the answer that the network told you to give is? >> tune in. >> i think rachel and i, we do have such a good friendship and we have great communication. of course, this experience just brought us so close together and we would never want to jeopardize our friendship. so kind of having that foundation and respect for each other, you know, no man would stand in our way. >> yeah. >> but can you help folks who are concerned? i mean, look, "bachelor" and "bachelorette" franchise had criticism for years but these two friends, why pit them against each other? does it ever come off like that because some people are concerned it will be two women going at it over guys. >> yeah, i mean, we totally get the concern but there was never

a point where anything really came in between us like gabby said. we had open communication with each other and we really would never fall for a guy, i think, that would ever put us in a position to do so. >> yeah. >> so we were lucky with that. >> what can longtime fans of the show expect and what is something you can name that will certainly be different? besides the fact it's two of you. >> yeah, i mean, it is, you know, similar in that just both of us are kind of parallel journeys, so it is something, you know, that you've seen in the past with hopefully finding love and giving out roses and dating and really getting to know these men in this manner. i feel like it is a little fresher having both of us. we were in the driver's seat and it was new for everybody, so i think we had a lot more flexibility. >> potentially there could be two engagements potentially, it's possible. but it's possible. there could be. >> it is possible. >> quickly here before i let you

go, rapid-fire, about the dating. pet peeves of yours for somebody you're dating. >> someone who drives slow. >> you. >> chewing with your mouth open. >> wow. turnoffs, sounds like that's a pet peeve. turnoff is what? >> ooh, someone who is rude to other people. >> yeah. chewing with your mouth open. [ laughter ] >> okay. your favorite bachelor from years past, someone who chewed with his mouth closed i assume. >> yeah. sean lowe. >> you? >> i think sean but pilot pete because, you know, the pilot thing, feel like we got to stick together a little bit. >> okay. ladies, it is good to meet you, congrats. we're rooting for you both on the show but, yeah, we can't wait to see "the bachelorette" with two bachelorettes on abc available to stream the next day on hulu. ladies, thanks so much. good luck, all right? >> thank you so much. >> keep that mouth closed while we're chewing. we know that.
