came back, it's a different heat, that's because it's 80s overnight for months on end, 70s or 80s. you want 20 talk about climate change and how much amplification we have done. this is called the climate shift indeck. overnight lows up to 13 degrees in the southwest tomorrow morning, george, can be attributed to climate change. >> okay, thanks very much. we have new details now about the mass shooting in an indiana mall that left three people dead. we're learning more about the attack and the shopper who used his own weapon to take down the gunman, and alex perez is on the scene in greenwood, indiana, good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning. authorities say they have no doubt that good samaritan who stepped in saved lives. they say he was able to stop the shooter in less than two minutes. this morning, as greenwood, indiana, authorities hunt for answers in that deadly mall shooting, investigators crediting a bystander, 22-year-old elisjsha dicken, who was legally armed, with stepping in and stopping the suspected shooter before more were killed.

remains under investigation. michael. >> thanks so much for that. now we turn to the latest from uvalde. in an emotional night at an open forum hosted by the school board families demanding accountability after the report on the massacre of 19 children and 2 teachers. mireya villarreal was at that meeting in uvalde, texas. good morning, mireya. >> overnight the superintendent laid out several things they are doing to beef up security here %-p increase their communications capabilities and replacing doors and locks and planning to install new cameras but it was very evident last night the community does not feel the district can deliver before school starts. >> now it's time to do my fighting. >> reporter: overnight anger boiling over at a school board meeting in uvalde, parents and students demanding answers after body camera footage and a blistering report revealed robb

latest. good morning, ian. >> reporter: vladimir putin trying to bolster ties with one o the very few allies he has left visiting another country also subject to severe u.s.-led sanctions, iran. this is amid fears that actually the reason for his trip may be to acquire war weapons and deal with his depleted stocks. this morning, president putin arriving in tehran for a rare and high-stakes visit. the trip to russia's increasingly important ally comes as putin acknowledges the toll it's taking nearly five months after launching the war in ukraine saying, it's clear that we can't develop while being cut off from the entire world. putin set to meet with the iranian president and the turkish president also. the visits marking the second time he's left russia since the invasion began. >> since russia's been so ostracized by the rest of the

world, he really doesn't have anywhere to go. he has no friends in the world. >> reporter: but iran is one of the few, and u.s. officials are warning that tehran could provide armed drones to help russia's war replenishing its depleted arsenal in ukraine, something iran denies. >> we will continue to watch very closely. all of our sanctions remain in force. any transaction of this sort would implicate a number of sanctions that we have on the books. >> reporter: well, putin isn't the only one making a high-profile visit. today ukraine's first lady olena zelenska will be in washington today to meet with first lady dr. biden before then addressing the joint session of congress wednesday. and i think this is going to be another crucial chance for ukraine to try to make a direct and personal appeal to the american people. george. >> ian pannell, thanks. we turn to washington and the latest on the january 6th investigation. two trump white house officials, former deputy press secretary sarah matthews and former deputy

national security adviser matthew pottinger, expected to testify at the committee's hearing on thursday. want to go to our chief washington correspondent jon karl. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. the committee will take a detailed look at what they will portray as trump's dereliction of duty, the 187 minutes where the capitol was under attack by his supporters and he did nothing to stop it. both sarah matthews and matt pottinger were in the west wing on that day, both resigned that day. i recounted a dramatic story in my book "betrayal" where pottinger, when he saw the capitol was under attack, went to the oval office to find out why the national guard had not been deployed. he was so horrified by what he saw that he went back to his office and immediately wrote his letter of resignation. pottinger, george, has never spoken about this publicly but, of course, i expect he will talk about it in detail on thursday night. >> that will be at 8:00 p.m. thursday night, jon karl, thanks very much. michael. all right, george, now to major league baseball's all-star

week and the home run derby. 23-year-old juan soto putting on a display at dodger stadium last night crushing 19 homers in the final round to win it all. t.j. holmes is here with the home run of himself. hey. >> good morning, sir, welcome back, stray. good to have you back, my brother. major league baseball changed things up a few years ago to where they do this home run derby, yes, an exhibition but the winner gets a million dollars. and i say that to say, this is serious, and i say that to maybe explain the reaction you're about to see from, yes, juan soto. go ahead, roll the footage. these are the winning moments. he crushes these final two and this one he knows he's won the thing and look at his reaction. yes. that's a million dollars, cut me my check. now, this 23-year-old is now the second youngest to ever win the home run derby, but he's only older by the other guy by a day. now, the moment of the night even though that was the winning moment, maybe the moment of the

night was when albert pujols, kind of a legacy guy to be put into the derby, came out with him and just to honor him at that moment, a lot of these guys grew up wanting to be like him so this was nice to see him being honored. a million dollars and a sweet moment there last night. >> one confident guy. turned down a $435 million contract. >> what's a million dollars when you can turn down 435. amazon is now under investigation for possible workplace hazards in its warehouses. then we have michael's interview with the first active nfl player to come out, carl nassib, on his life after that courageous moment on the field and off. but first let's go back to ginger. >> we were so dry then up to a half a foot of rain fell yesterday. you can see some of the issues, new jersey, cars underwater, yonkers, new york, you ended up with flash flooding and in the bronx, the sinkhole as the van goes in.

>> reporter: that's when they discovered swimply that lets you create income for yourself by renting your pool by the hour. >> rob was very reticent about having strangers use our property, but the poorer we got the more appealing it became. >> in six months, the pool made more money than i made in a year in my previous job. >> reporter: and you don't have to have a pool or a fancy home thto at my house, yocarend. rent out storage space in your home, or maybe you have a yard and a love of animals. sniff spot lets you earn cash by the hour listing your yard to dog owners so those furry friends can frolic off leash. for lauren and chris in vermont they took it one step farther, turning their airbnb hobby into a full-time business, leaving behind their careers in marketing and finance. >> the pandemic was absolutely the catalyst for us taking the

plunge to doing this full time. >> when we opened our third property in 2020, things started to really pick up for us and really made it a goal of ours to make this our full-time job. >> it was a dream that we didn't even know that we had. >> so, making money on your home can be a great way to earn extra income. it's also important to know that there are costs, in addition to your time there's the maintenance, the upkeep. you want to double-check your homeowner's insurance policy to see it does cover you in case something goes wrong. another great app is neighbor. if you've got space in your garage, you can rent it out as a parking space, guys. any takers? >> it's all great ideas.

going to be like. i think my role will be different than obviously it was for filling in for tom, but, you know, it's going to be we're figuring it all out, but mostly lebrits inrvndhe dancers and weekbeen g throh,heir dan do they ink of theud scores and things like that. but my goal is to bring the fun and loving and energy and the laughter back to the ballroom. >> how about some dancing? >> yeah, we -- we -- we may not be doing as much dancing. [ laughter ] especially that dance. we're not going to do that dance. but i have been -- i have been training in terms of getting my body back in shape, you know, doing a little bit of running. i do what we call the michael strahan, you know, where you, you know, the treadmill. >> ah. >> and put it on ten and run for

20 seconds and then you rest and then you run for 20 seconds, you know, you told us about that workout like three years ago. and so i'm doing the strahan. >> that is very impressive because strahan hasn't done the strahan in years, but -- [ laughter ] a lot of people may think it's your first time working with tyra banks but it's not. are you looking forward to that, reuniting? >> it'll be wonderful. we obviously worked together on "fresh prince of bel-air" her first acting gig back in the day. the part most don't realize we went to middle school together. >> wow. >> so, you know, i was only there for like six weeks, but we did -- we were there for six weeks when we were, you know, little kids. but, yeah, it's going to be great, you know, working with her again. you know, bringing the fun back, i think last season obviously, the last two seasons it was kind of a big job. we had to do both sides, and now it's like we're just going to have some fun, some good banter and keep it light and keep it all about the dancers and the

celebrities. >> well, alfonso, i know you like to have fun with your family rv'ing and that's your rv behind you. tell us -- >> i'm literally at a campsite right now. literally at the campsite now. we've been -- you know, this is our northeast trip, so every year we kind of decide where we want to go and this year we've decided that we were going to do the northeast so we're up in new england right now. had a pretty cool time, a buddy of mine tim wakefield used to play with the boston red sox gave us a private tour of fenway, and the kids are totally into baseball now so it was so cool for them and myself to go see, see behind the green monster and see all the really cool things that fenway had to offer. pretty cool trip so far. >> you're so close and yet so far to us. and is it true you're going to keep your day job? you're going to still do "america's funniest home videos." >> absolutely. >> you're so fun on it. what video makes you crack up

the most? >> you know, for me it's always when people get hurt. i just -- i don't know for me when something happens, but not really hurt-hurt like one of the things on afv, if someone actually gets hurt we don't want to show that, but that's always funny when someone goes up on a roof and -- they're in and out of the water. it's a metal roof. you're going to slip. you're going to fall. that so me is hysterical. >> all right. everything you do is fun. we're so happy to see you. thanks for making time while you're with your family on a vacation. we do so appreciate it. good luck on the new season. we'll be watching. "dancing with the stars," everybody, premiering this september on disney plus and the entire "dancing with the stars" cast will be revealed, where, right here, "gma," september 8th. let's go over to another alum, ginger. >> thank you, lara. yes, i'm so happy for alfonso but i especially love his wife, angela. if you have not followed their rv road trips and all of her

making food on the road, it's unbelievable. if they're in the northeast and want to do fenway, boston has only hit 90 twice this season so far and they were separated. well, as we see the earth cam over the charles river you're about to heat up to your first official heat wave going 90 plus for three days in a row, not just in boston but new york city our second, first last week, philadelphia and washington, d.c., look at some numbers. baltimore will feel on wednesday close to 100. let's get a check now a little closer to home.

and no and now to our july "gma" book club pick, "the dead romantics." it's by ashley poston. now a "new york times" best-seller, and eva pilgrim sat down with her and eva said she wanted to write about grief like a spoonful of sugar. >> and this is allegedly a romance novel. it's not your stereotypical one but a little adams's family crossed with a bit of "gilmore girls," and the main character sees dead people. till death do us part or not. ashley poston's rom-com "the dead romantics" will haunt readers with its purgatory plot twists about a woman who meets the love of her life only to realize he's dead on arrival. >> it is "beach read" by emily henry meets "while you were sleeping" and a little of the old movie "ghost" and has sprinkles of "the addams family"

in it and stars hollow from "gilmore girls." >> reporter: i sat down with her in new york to talk about florence day, a ghost writer for a famous romance novelist who has given up on love. oh, and she also happens to see dead people. >> so she ends up falling for a guy who is a ghost and who is haunting her for reasons they have to figure out. >> how did you put those things together? because like romance and death don't usually coincide. >> so i always felt that grief and love were very closely tied together because you can't really have grief without love and you can't have love without a little grief, and so it was a lot easier than you think to kind of marry the two together and what is more romantic than a midnight walk through a graveyard? >> ashley turning inwards in her writing, revealing many pages fueled by her own anxiety. >> i often joke that i am six anxious cats in a skin suit so i have very terrible anxiety and i use that as my superpower to

write books basically. >> the novel a love story about family, ashley setting the story in her home state of south carolina, a place florence ran from for years until her father's unexpected death. >> it's also about her returning to her hometown to say good-bye to her father for the last time who recently passed away, so wanted to find a way to both tell a love story go her family and her hometown and like finding that she loves herself. but i wanted to tell a cute, sexy romance. >> it's funny because this is a romance novel, and in my head when i first thought that i thought there would likely be more adult scenes in it, but there actually really aren't. >> there aren't. i wanted to write an adult romance that my grandmother could read because i needed her to look her in the eye afterwards. >> what about this do you think makes it a good summer read? >> i think because it is a light, breezy romance even though it deals with a lot of grief. i wanted to write about grief in a way that was like a spoonful of sugar.

i want people to read this novel and leave a little happier than when they came in, because even though it's a ghost story it does have a happy ending and i think every romance deserves a happy ending. >> one of the things i learned talking to ashley is romance doesn't necessarily mean sexy scenes, right? if you're looking for a positive, happy book that has a happily ever after, that's a romance novel. >> a happily ever happen when a woman falls in love with a ghost. >> it works out, i promise you, the happily ever after does happen.

not my dream, but last week i was filming a very top secret bake-off. we call it bake-off in the u.k., and marshawn lynch was on. he was crazy, absolutely crazy but amazing as well. >> i can attest to both of those things. he is crazy and amazing. >> had your dream. >> he was great, yeah, i was a big fan so it was nice to have him on, but ultimately i think the bake-off, baking show, bake-off is all about having fun and that's what it's about. i don't -- i try not to judge harshly, but i do judge honestly. >> we'll have some fun and hopefully we're not judged because you'll help us make the ultimate focaccia. one important ingredient, what is that? >> flour. >> flour, okay. that would be very important. >> followed by -- isn't olive oil -- >> that is important. >> lots of it.

>> oh, yeah. >> garlic. >> i mean, we have -- you can do the garlic later but salt, don't contact the yeast. >> oh, really? do not make contact. >> okay. >> a little bit of salt in there. a little bit of yeast as well and good olive oil, a glug. >> glug. >> a good glug. >> precise. >> olive oil is to keep the dough soft. then we've got water going in. >> that's a bigger glug. >> that's a bigger glug. what you need to do is get your hands in there. >> use your hands, all right. >> you can use a mixer, but i think you really get into bread making when you understand what it should feel like. you see it starts to come together pretty quickly then what you do, once you've scrunched it all together in a ball then you leave it for about half an hour and then you can actually manipulate that dough. >> there you go. >> all clean. >> he's a professional.

>> we got you here. >> this one here is rested, now, this one -- >> magic. >> you see the gluten -- >> just has to rest. >> it will grow in the fridge, just takes longer, so the cooler the temperature the longer it takes so once you rested it, you leave it for about an hour and a half to two hours depending on how warm it is. based on the fact that the yolk at the moment is pretty hot, it will quite active and move very quickly but what you've got to do, once it's got plenty of air in it, place it into your tray which, again -- >> you go heavy on the olive oil. you can't do too much. >> you can't really because ultimately it's like you're almost shallow frying the bottom of the focaccia. >> that's why it says so good, that crispiness. >> that's exactly the point. so spread it out all throughout the tin, and that needs to rise again for its second rise. >> oh. >> and then -- >> that's another 30. >> oh, at least another hour possibly. i like to take its time with the

rise. that's where the flavor is. the longer you rise the dough, the more flavor you have. >> yeah. i'm just watching how much olive oil you're using. loving every minute of it. >> because you're going to be eating a lot of this olive oil, use good olive oil. whatever you put into a recipe, use good quality ingredients. at the end, that's what you get out of it. that was the point of the book really. this is the dough when risen. it's risen for a couple of hours. >> just at room temperature. >> and, again, you can put it in the fridge if you wish, but just drop your fingers in there, don't want to lose too much air out of it. >> and add the veggies. you displayed them so beautifully. like an art -- almost like an art installation. >> you can basically push them all in, so grab a good handful of stuff. grab some of the tomatoes. >> there we go. >> you guys move on down there while we do this. >> it's looking good. >> looking good.

once you've done that i would love it in 20 minute, half an hour to pop up again and drop into the oven. >> do you add spices and salt on top? >> absolutely. >> what kind of spice is that. >> you can use thyme, oregano -- what do you call it. >> oregano. >> i love that. >> oregano. >> oregano, oregano. >> yes. >> okay, so we've got oregano and we've got some salt, and then basically that will go into the oven at 400 for about 25 minutes, and once it's cool from the oven, this is how it turns out. >> it looks -- that's professional chef worthy. >> beautiful. >> that is gorgeous. would you like to taste it? >> yes, we know on the show the ultimate sign for the contestants is when they get the paul hollywood handshake. >> yes. >> so you made this so we'll shake your hand but i think i may do it with the left hand. >> both hands. >> this is a special handshake. i want to do it, paul. give it to me.

theme of the movie, it's not a binary. it's not all good luck and bad luck and the two ne'er not meet. silence makes no sense without noise. life makes no sense without death. well, good luck makes no sense without bad luck, and this is what my character, babe, the dragon, she's a wonderful character, she's the ceo of the kingdom of luck, and what she learns in the course of the movie is that you have to accept ba packe. >> let's take a look at babe. >> time to open do what lyouan do. t me hear it. >> bri applause >> that's what good luck does. have a lucky day, phil. >> you too, boss. >> have you ever been a dragon before? >> um, only in my dreams.

it was pretty remarkable. and, again, moving people from caring about the issue to taking covid. it meant writing your congressman, calling the actions again in august.an people can go to firedrillfriday.com to find out. and in spite of that, in spite of all the actions that people have taken, we can't get good legislation passed because the fossil fuel industry has a government. >> that's the political action -- >> that's what the political action committee is. we want to oust the people that are beholden to fossil fuel and we want to elect climate champions. so, you know, neck week i'm going to michigan for andy levin. i'm supporting donna edwards. i'm supporting people who are really brave and who will work for people, not for big corporations.

>> there's no escaping the consequences now. 100 degrees all over the globe. >> oh, i was just in italy for three months, 104 degrees. it's hard to survive. it's hard to work in that kind of a thing and, you know, your weather report was talking about the fires in iowa and it's -- it's getting worse and worse and it's going to continue to get worse. we have eight years left to do what the scientists are telling us. >> these actions can make a difference. >> we have to do actions. >> you know, before you go, i learned something today. i learned you're responsible for michael strahan being in the football hall of fame. >> that's right. >> incredible. >> it's all me. i did it all.
