sources say he struggled to say the election was over and condemn the rioters. >> there are people urging him to say things to try to get the rioters, the attackers to go home and then ultimately when he does give a statement, still things he wouldn't say. >> reporter: his top lawyer pat cipollone says he pleaded with him to call off the mob >> i felt it was my obligation to continue and others felt it wastheir obligation as well. >> reporter: the committee says there will be new clips of his testimony. two trump officials who resigned that day will testify in person, former deputy national security adviser matthew pottinger who worked for trump from the start of his administration and former deputy press secretary sarah matthews. both have pointed to trump's tweet criticizing his own vice president during the insurrection, saying he lacked courage. >> it felt like he was pouring gasoline on the fire by tweeting that. >> i read that tweet and made a decision at that moment to resign.

>> reporter: pence himself returned to washington. applauded during a closed door meeting with house republicans for his actions on january 6th. what was the reception to the vice president? >> very positive. he was thanked in there for his courage on january 6th and i think people embraced his message. >> reporter: meanwhile the spotlight on the justice department's investigation is growing. attorney general merrick garland making it clear he will hold accountable every person who was criminally responsible. >> no person is above the law in this country. nothing stops us -- no -- i don't know -- maybe i'll say that again. no person is above the law in this country. >> reporter: the a reporter: th general says this investigation is the most important and wide-ranging that the department has ever conducted. so far more than 850 people have been charged, george. >> meantime, it does appear there is bipartisan support for a reform act that would clarify congress' role in overseeing elections which could prevent something like january 6th from happening again.

>> reporter: exactly, george. this is the very law that trump tried to exploit, the electoral count act. lawmakers have been working to try to reform it to make it crystal clear that the vice president who presides over the counting of electoral votes has no authority to overturn the election. 16 senators from both sides of the aisle have signed on including trump ally senator lindsey graham, george. >> thanks. live coverage of tonight's hearing starting at 8:00 eastern, 5:00 pacific, michael. now to that deadly lightning strike. ten soldiers from the army reserve injured in fort gordon, georgia, and taken to the base medical facility for treatment. one did not survive. elwyn lopez is in atlanta with the latest. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: hey, michael. good morning. dangerous storms and extreme heat felt from coast to coast from that deadly lightning here in georgia to record high heat expected to sweep through parts of the northeast. this morning, tragedy at fort gordon army base in georgia.

one soldier is dead and nine others injured after a lightning strike hit the base shortly after 11:00 a.m. soldiers were out doing training exercises when the storm swept through. severe weather forcing many flights to divert from their paths and scary moments for those aboard an american airlines flight heading from tampa to nashville. violent turbulence forcing that flight to land in birmingham, alabama, sending six passengers and two crew members to the hospital. while in charleston, south carolina, more than three inches fell in less than two hours leaving many streets flooded. this as temperatures soar from coast to coast. more than 100 million americans now under heat alerts and in texas, power grids are still under stress. wildfires breaking out there while in oklahoma, a grass fire forcing evacuations in mangum as temperatures reach up into the hundreds, and the northeast is also heating up.

the i-95 corridor under a heat advisory today. temperatures expected to feel like 100 degrees. in philadelphia, officials already shoring up emergency resources to protect people there. and, michael, at least two dozen states are on alert for extreme heat from the carolinas all the way to new hampshire including there in new york city. >> oh, yeah, we can feel the heat here as everyone else is around the country, thank you so much, elwyn. that dangerous heat gripping so much of the country, it's showing no sign of easing. ginger, that lake mead in nevada where there is an excessive heat warning. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: it has been in the 90s all morning. look behind me, that is the only operable marina here at lake mead. there were six. we just got brand new images from nasa that she you the comparison on one arm of lake mead. it is only at 27% capacity and nasa says this could be the

worst drought we've seen in 12 centuries. so we have to talk about the heat and of course we'll be hot here today. 115. but from palm springs up to new york, seven days of 90 plus, not done since 2013. philadelphia will be super hot, washington, d.c. will. it will feel like wouldabove 10 until we potentially break records by the end of the weekend. is this a big weekend. we'll want to stay cool and hydrated. >> ginger will be back from more from lake mead later in the program. now to washington. president biden sounding the alarm on climate change unveiling measures to deal with what he called an existential threat. >> as president, i have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger. and that's what climate change is about. it is literally, not figuratively, a clear and present danger. >> let's bring in senior white

house correspondent mary bruce for more on what exactly the president is proposing now. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, amy. well, you heard the president there describing climate change as an emergency, and he is vowing to turn these strong words into action, but so far, he's announced just modest steps americans who are facing this extreme heat, rather than addressing the root causes of climate change. the president announcing $2.3 billion in new funding and steps to boost the offshore wind industry but none would significantly reduce fossil fuel emissions drastically warming our planets and activists are demanding that the president do more. now he has so far stopped short of declaring a national emergency. that could unlock additional federal funding and could allow the president to halt federal oil drilling, but the president has strongly hinted that he could still take this step. look, the president is now scrambling to figure out what he can do on his own after joe manchin, a member of his own party, killed the president's climate change agenda in the senate and while the president

will say that he is still hoping that congress can get something done in this area, that is highly unlikely. in fact, the president says he hasn't even talked to senator manchin. george? >> mary bruce, thank you. the latest on the war in ukraine and new threat from russia to expand the war if the west sends more longer range weapons to ukraine. senior foreign correspondent ian pannell is on the scene. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. astonishing remarks really by the russian foreign minister on the one hand letting many people believe that's what russia has been trying to do since day one of this war. this morning, russia ramping up threats warning it will expand its invasion in ukraine if the west provides more longer-range weapons such as american-made himars. russian foreign minister lavrov saying geographical tasks of the special military operation will move further from the present line. russian missiles falling in kramatorsk destroying a school and president putin claimed the invasion is a special military

operation focused solely on the donbas region in the east but secretary of defense lloyd austin says that's not true. >> our allies and partners have known that he has greater ambitions, and lavrov just confirmed that today. >> reporter: this morning, to take more territory comes as the u.s. announces it'll supply an additional four himars. these longer-range missile systems to the front lines. amid reports that the u.s. and its allies are weighing providing fighter jets and training on them to ukraine. in washington, ukrainian first lady olena zelenska with an emotional appeal to congress asking for even more military support. [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: i'm asking for something now i would never want to ask. i am asking for weapons, weapons that would not be used to wage a war on somebody else's land, but to protect one's home. >> reporter: and as questions circle around vladimir putin's health, the cia addressing the issue head-on.

>> there are lots of rumors and as far as we can tell he's entirely too healthy. >> reporter: well, these threats absolutely underscore the fact that russia has already tried and failed to do what it's now threatening, failedto expand its invasion and given its poor performance and depleted stocks it's doubtful they could do much more, michael. >> thank you so much for that, ian. now to alex murdaugh appearing in a south carolina court pleading not guilty to the murders of his wife and son and we're learning new details about the case against him. eva pilgrim is in walterboro, south carolina, with more. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, michael. murdaugh's team is pushing for a speedy trial saying that the killer is still out there. meanwhile, prosecutors say the evidence points to one person and that is alex murdaugh. alex murdaugh in court for the first time on charges he killed his wife and son. >> did you kill paul and maggie? >> reporter: the once prominent attorney arriving at the

courthouse wearing a blue prison jump suit, his hands cuffed at the waist, legs shackled. his head now shaved. >> all rise. >> reporter: murdaugh changing into a white linen shirt and khaki pants for the formal arraignment. >> what say you, richard alex murdaugh? are you guilty or not guilty of the things which you stand indicted? >> not guilty. >> reporter: the defendant pleading not guilty to the double murder charges standing in front of a courtroom where his family's legacy was built as solicitors in the area, a portrait of his father, randolph murdaugh iii hanging on the wall. >> the state is absolutely in favor. the evidence in this case is substantial and all points back to alex murdaugh. there's forensic evidence as well as other evidence of his guilt of these murders and so the state is ready and willing to move this matter forward as expeditiously as could be reasonably done. >> your honor, we understand it's mr. water's belief there is

forensic evidence and otherwise. our response is he's wrong. >> reporter: coming 13 months after maggie and paul were found shot to death outside their rural south carolina home. family members attending wednesday's hearing virtually. murdaugh's attorney waiving bond. >> we believe that the killer or killers are still at large. >> reporter: the prosecution and defense agreeing to a gag order and a speedy trial. and we could very well see this case go to trial relatively quickly. the prosecutor as you heard him say that they are ready to present their case as soon as january. guys. >> all right, eva, thanks so uch for that. we're going to shift gears now and turn to the espy awards, celebrating the best of sports and those who make an impact off the field. let's go to kayna whitworth who was there and has the best moments from the night. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: hey, amy, good morning and what an exciting night it was. it's the first time the espys have been back at full capacity and this year's host, steph curry, did not disappoint

>> but as you sit here there's not a day that goes by that you regret what you did in calling police? >> no, i don't regret it because i believe i saved lives. this is an answer news special report. hello, everyone. we are coming on the air with breaking news as we have just learned that the president of the united states joe biden has tested positive for covid. he is vaccinated, he has had two boosters. but as we have been talking about for a couple weeks now, the spread of covid taking offingoff in across the country, numerous states reporting a rise in cases and now we're learning that the president has tested positive fr covid-19. we just received this statement from the white house, this is what i can tell you so far, that he is experiencing very mild symptoms according to the white

house. he has been isolated. he does plan to continue to carry out all his duties fully at this time. he has been in contact with members of the white house staff by phone this morning. he has been making calls to those that he had traveled with this week, specifically when he gave his speech on climate change. he had various aides with him, his press secretary karine jean-pierre of course was with him. in addition to his deputy chief of staff bruce reed and also gina mccarthy, national climate adviser, they have been notified that he has tested positive. do not have word yet on the first lady and where that stands. but we can tell you that he is also taking the antiviral paxlovid, this has proven to be very effective. when you find out that you have

tested positive. and so he is taking that. we are told that he does plan to participate in all planned meetings and work in isolation there at the white house. dr. jen ashton is joining me now as we receive this news that the president of the united states has tested positive for covid-19. so, jen, really no surprise. i mean, we have been talking now for a couple weeks on how covid has been spreading. and for a number of years, number of us have been lucky that we haven't tested positive, but now have and now the president testing positive for covid. >> right, and to be honest, so many people just when you talk about president biden are surprised that he has been able to avoid this for so long. but we have to look at his medical condition and who he is. and then what we know about this virus and how covid behaves. as we know, he is 79 years old.

his last presidential physical evaluation was done in november of 2021. he got very high marks from his personal physician. but we do know that he has some basic medical conditions, atrial fibrillation, some high cholesterol, some reflex. none puts anyone at a high risk, but his highest risk factor is his age. so that is why as you mentioned no surprise that he is being treated with the antiviral pill paxlovid, it has been shown in clinical trials to be 89% effective in reducing the risk of severe covid-19 illness meaning hospitalization or death. but i want to be crystal clear, he is going to be closely monitored at the white house by the personal fphysician of the president. and if anything looks like it goes in the wrong direction, i

would expect that he would be hospitalized if nothing else than for more close observation. but remember, the white house is not like your home or my home, they can do a lot of medical monitoring and observation and testing right there at the white house. >> sure, and we saw that with former president donald trump immediately and the medical response there. and now considering the president's age and his underlying conditions, no doubt he will be monitored minute by minute. and he says that he is going to continue on with his daily duties. just for a moment, can we talk about the antiviral. because you know we have reported here on answer that there have been a number of people that have taken this antiviral paxlovid and it has been very successful in helping with symptoms, severity, with regard to respiratory issues. but there have been a number of

cases where it has not worked well and the covid has come back quickly. >> and i'm dlaglad you mentione that because it is something that so many people have questions about. we have reported here before that there seems to be some paxlovid rebound. published clinical reports seem to indicate that that rate hovers in the single digit percentage, around 4%, 5%. maybe higher. but i want to be clear. when you make a decision in medicine, clinical judgment, you are evaluating risk versus benefit. and in this case it is risk of taking paxlovid versus the risk of not taking paxlovid. and then the benefits of paxlovid versus the benefits of not taking paxlovid. and right now, that last question the benefits of not treating with this antiviral medication really are zero. you know, what would be the worst case scenario if president

biden took paxlovid and got this so-called rebound phenomenon. just more time being in isolation. the benefits are clear based on the clinical trials of what this drug can do in terms of reducing the riskization and death and that is why it is an easy clinical decision to make to give him that medication. >> dr. jen ashton, stay with me, i want to bring in jonathan karl now. i guess first let's start with are you getting any other word from the white house or your sources in addition to the statement we just received from the white house that the president has tested positive for covid? >> reporter: the point the white house is emphasizing is that his systems are very -- his symptoms are very mild. of course this is a person who has been vaccinated, he has been boosted, he has been boosted again. and he is on paxlovid which as dr. jen pointed out has worked

right well including for people close to him who have tested positive in the recent past. he plans to continue do his work through zoom meetings. this is an entirely different situation than what we saw when the previous president tested positive for covid. of course president trump tested positive when there was no vaccine and his condition was incredibly serious and had to be essentially medevacked to walter reed. that is not the case here. you know, i have to say the other thing, it is a remarkable -- and you alluded to this, that he had not tested positive earlier. when you think about the people around him who have tested positive, his press secretary, his vice president, his covid expert tony fauci tested positive and is now recovered. so what they are emphasizing is

he is getting the best treatment, he will go through the process, they expect obviously a full recovery. >> so let's talk about individuals that he may have possibly exposed. he did test negative on tuesday, but prior to that, he made that big trip to the middle east. so what do we know about his travels, his testing, was he being tested every single day? could this possibly have happened while he was overseas? we know it takes a while to incubate, right, but he did test negative on tuesday after returning from saudi, from israel last weekend. >> he is regularly tested. it is not necessarily every day, but he is regularly tested. particularly surrounding travel,

they would have stepped up the regularity of his testing. and this was the first indication when he got home, even traveling domestically this week, he has aen r met with members of congress, obviously the members of the white house staff, his cabinet. but no indication of exactly when he was infected. >> all right. sk jon, stay can us. we now have mary on the phone who was traveling with the president. what you can tell us? >> jon is right, the president is tested on a regular basis. but the president just had a packed week of meetings. we saw him meeting with several middle eastern leaders, he was of course in israel and then making that controversial trip to saudi arabia. and there was much discussion over that trip about whether the president would be giving out handshakes or whether he would be fist burminmping leaders. we saw him with that now very

famous fist bump with the saudi crown prince.3 but much of that was due to concerns about covid although the president did go ahead and shake hands with some of the leaders that he met with. and you know, he saw the president without a mask. everyone who does meet with the president is usually tested. the white house does take very strict precautions when it comes to who comes close to the president. but it is not always something that you can control in many situations. so i think that there will be a lot of questions about the contacts that the president had over the last week and perhaps another review of white house precautions here. but this is something that is hard to avoid and it is kind of surprising that the president has made this long without testing positive for covid. so the white house has always talked about this as somewhat of an inevitability. they take strict precautions. when they are in washington, everyone who comes close to the president is tested, everyone who comes close to the president

has to go through certain -- take certain steps. but he is the president and it is hard to maintain constantly. and while he did test negative on tuesday, it is of course possible that he received it while traveling overseas. >> and dr. jen, what will this mean now going forward? mild symptoms. that is good news. the president saying that he will carry out his duties within the white house even today doing business via zoom. he is making phone calls to members of his staff to let them know. what does it mean for the first lady now and moving forward knowing also too that he is on the antiviral? >> first i think so many people will be asking the question, shouldn't the president be hospitalized just out of an abundance of caution. and i think that it is really, really important here both in the media as well as in the lay

public not to speculate. the only people who know truly what going on with the president are the president and his team, his medical team, his personal physician. and there is a very fine line that we have to balance here between protecting the president because of who he is and not overtreating or doing more than is necessary because of course that can come with its own risks. as we've mentioned, the white house is very capable of monitoring heart function, respiratory function, basic kidney and liver function at the white house. so really it would only be in tir t terms of requiring additional treatment that would require being moved to walter reed medical center. in terms of what he will be doing over the next several days, i guarantee that he will be following cdc protocols in

terms of he has now tested positive. everyone coming into contact with the president will be wearing an n95. he will be wearing an n95 when other people are in his room. obviously the first lady will be isolating from the president. and quarantining and following the cdc guidelines of being tested regularly even if she were to remain asymptomatic. it is unclear as we heard from mary and jonathan whethe he was tested as part of the regular testing cadence or whether he was showing symptoms or whether those mild symptoms started at the same time. and certainly we have learned over the last two plus years of dealing with this virus that it can behave in unexpected ways. so symptoms can start mild, they can go away, they can return in the same fashion or in a more severe manner and of course we have to be on the lookout for long covid syndrome which has been reported to affect anywhere

from 30% or more months down the road. so there is a lot to follow here and of course his medical team will be very much on top of the situation. >> of course. jen, thanks. and jon karl, one more thought. moving forward, it is interesting as we look back at the images from his recent trips, from his daily activities, from his speeches, interaction with those around him, not seeing the mask. there was a point where there were strict protocols. you rarely saw the president without his mask. how do you think it will change things moving forward? a bit of a wake-up call? >> possibly because we really have seen a dramatic change over time. i mean even after president biden was vaccinated, even after he was boosted the first time, the protocols at the white house were incredibly strict. people who went to see the

president wore masks. he almost always wore a mask except when speaking despite the fact that everybody that goes into see him as mary mentioned is tested. and, you know, some people, republicans particularly, would mock the precautions that were taken that it was going too far. but they have radically loosened up those precautions and you see a lot of people indoors at the white house, on his travels. he is a very -- he is somebody that likes to get in there with people, he is a hugger, he shakes hands. he is doing all that and it almost looks like there was -- more recently it looks like covid was a thing of the past and it was back to the old joe biden. i suspect this will be something of a wake-up call. >> i think that we'll be going back to the old joe biden with a mask for some time.

>> perhaps. >> all right. jon karl, thank you so much. also our thanks to dr. jen ashton who always gets us through these medical stories, specifically with covid. also mary bruce, chief white house correspondent who had been traveling with the president. once again, if you are just tuning in, the president of the united states testing positive for covid-19, showing mild symptoms. and saying that he is going to carry out his duties in isolation throughout the day. we'll continue to follow every detail of the president's condition throughout the afternoon into the evening. you of course can follow continuing coverage with me on abc news live. i'm kyra phillips. back now to regular programming. meet google pixel 6a the smarter phone that can see in the dark with night sight fix your photos with magic eraser and photograph all skin tones accurately with real tone

bbc failed to ask the tough questions. had we done our job properly, princess diana would have known the truth during her lifetime. we let her, the royal family and our audiences down. the director also saying that the network will never air the interview again. amy. >> all right, will, thank you. michael, over to you. thank you, amy. now to those dangerous temperatures across much of the country. ginger is at lake mead where there is an excessive heat warning. hey, ginger. >> hey, michael. palm springs, we're going to see a potential daily high in las vegas of 115. the heat advisories go throughout the gulf coast and into the northeast. here is why it is a big deal for new york city, for example. we could see seven days of 90 plus. something we haven't done for nine years. philadelphia will feel like it is over 100 today, but it'll actually hit 100 by the end of the weekend.

watch as rescuers in florida break into this car, moving quickly to save a baby locked inside. and this 2021 incident in ohio where a mom accidentally locked her baby in the car. rescuers using a sledgehammer to save the child and police in oklahoma rescuing this 14-month-old baby in 2019, left in a car sweltering in the summer heat. but so far this year, according to the organization kids and cars, 12 children have died after being left in hot vehicles, six in the last 30 days and annually almost 40 children succumb to heat-related deaths. >> the hot temperatures we're experiencing right now are very, very lethal. i think people don't maybe quite understand how quickly the temperature in vehicles rise. >> reporter: to show the toll the heat can take on an adult body, abc's gio benitez teamed up with paramedics in 2019. in only 45 minutes, the car

temperature rose from 83 to 96 degrees and that was a cloudy morning. his body temperature -- >> we just took my body temperature right there and it was 100.8, 105 is deadly for kids. >> reporter: this morning experts are stressing it doesn't take much to turn a car deadly. >> it could happen to anyone, and in most cases, it's the most loving, responsible, caring people. >> reporter: but there are steps parents can take to protect their kids. always keep cars locked and keys out of the reach of small hands, because about a third of deadly cases are the result of children wandering into cars on their own. if a child goes missing, the first place to look should be inside nearby vehicles, and teach kids to honk if they're stuck. really important tips there and experts say a lot of these happen when there is a bit of a break in your routine so try to leave a purse, maybe your phone, something that you need to use every day so you can make sure

that you will go back to the backseat, see your kids and take them with you. amy. >> all right, erielle, such good advice, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we'll turn to an important new study on strokes. looking at how genetics and lifestyle choices could increase your risk, and abc news chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton breaks it down for us. dr. jen, tell us about the latest research. >> yeah, so you've heard before how important genetic, family history are to our overall wellness and also to predict our risk for disease. this study just published in "the journal of the american heart association" looked at basically nature versus nurture and took some people middle-aged and followed them for 28 years. then looked at whether they had increased risk of stroke and what their lifestyle was like. and found that people with risk factors and an unhealthy lifestyle, look at how much their risk of stroke went up, by 25%. however, good news is for all comers, people with risk and without risk, if they engaged in healthy lifestyle

factors, their risk of stroke went down anywhere from 30% to 43%. >> so besides genetics, what adds to our risk of having a stroke? >> look, besides family history and you should know if stroke runs in your family, there is a lot in our day-to-day behaviors we know increases risk. when you look at the known risk factors for stroke, being overweight or obese, smoking, being physically inactive and engaging in excessive alcohol use, those are all things in our day-to-day behaviors we know increase the risk of stroke. >> so there are lifestyle changes that can reduce that. the american heart association calls them the simple seven. >> if you take a look at this list and just try to knock off as many of these as you can, controlling your bad cholesterol, managing blood pressure, reducing your blood sugar, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, healthy diet and if you smoke stop and obviously don't start. these are all things that lower your risk of stroke and heart disease. >> never too late to start. >> never too late. >> thank you so much.

to lake mead to survey the colorado river. it was sunk purposefully. >> it's been used as a place for people that want to scuba dive. >> now we are on the hike over to the higgins craft. it's about an eight-minute not-so-precarious hike. certainly wasn't all dry. oh, my god. i might need help, dan. i got the gopro stick. watch as this brand-new satellite imagery from nasa shows the stunning shrinking of lake mead over the last 22 years. how much of it is climate change? >> in the most recent estimate i've seen is that our current 22-year-long drought would have only been seven years long in the absence of human caused clue climate change. the scientists have been warning about this for a very long time, and we feel it's time for the policy to catch up. >> reporter: it's the bureau of reclamation that controls how much water goes out to each state. they've given the states that

use the water 60 days to come up with an emergency plan or they'll have to make the cuts. cuts that could change farms in the desert where at least two-thirds of our fruits and nuts and a third of our veggies all need water from lake mead. how much trouble are we in? >> how much trouble we are in depends on how we respond to this as a society. we can manage this in my opinion by being smarter about how we're using that water. simply put, we can't really evacuate all of our cities and we have to find a way to do more with less. >> the bureau of reclamation expects another 20 to 25-foot drop in lake mead in the next 14 months. not much more water is coming in. the drought looks like it will persist. george, i spoke with jonathan deason and other experts at george washington university, ucla, telling me we should not only be worried about gas prices, but we should be worried about food prices. >> so glad you're covering this. thank you very much. coming up, ryan gosling is here with us live in times square.

[ laughter ] than actually be in it. i believe that. >> but you've actually never

done a big-budget action movie, which is surprising to me. >> yeah. >> is that a role that you wanted to play, though, before? >> it's not. [ laughter ] >> i'm just curious. >> i want to be in the movie. he doesn't want to be in the movie. that's the magic. >> ever thought about being an action star? >> i always wanted to make an action film. i loved action growing up. probably what made me fall in love with movies. it took a long time to get there but, you know, it was like finding the right one, finding the right character and obviously the russo brothers directing this, who have been doing this for a decade at marvel and killing it, i knew i could go along for the crazy ride and feel comfortable with them driving. >> apparently there's one incredible action sequence. you were shooting in prague then you got a call from home in the middle of shooting the sequence. what happened. >> the whole sequence hinges on me being handcuffed to this bench, and we're in prague. there's lots of explosions going off. i was there with eva and the

kids, and they were in a hotel nearby. i got a call in the middle of one of the scenes, and i kind of hid behind the bench and used my free hand. it was eva saying, how log are these explosions going on, because the girls have a piano zoom class.

set who was like kind of as close to the real gray man as you can get said you have to have skittles on you because they're a great source of energy and they don't go bad. >> we saw you there with chris evans. did he clock you with a prop? first day on set. >> yes. >> what happened? >> you'll have to ask him, honestly, but, you know, being actors, it's a great job. you get free health care. you get free meals, they drive you to work and every once in a while you get hit in the mouth. >> did he say i'm sorry? >> he did. >> that's good enough. you know, in the movie, chris' character disparagingly calls you ken doll. was that always in the script, or was that after you were cast? >> it was after i was cast. >> they added it for you. >> they could feel it, i guess. [ laughter ] i was the last to recognize the ken in me but -- i see it clearly now.

>> well, michael has been having fun with kenergy. what was it like to play him? >> ken? >> yeah. >> oh, i can't -- i can't even get into it really. we don't have the time. it's a lot to be ken, you know, but we need to talk about ken at some point. we don't talk about bruno, no. >> talk about ken. >> we don't talk about ken. >> you mentioned your partner eva, eva mendes. apparently she thinks you're starting a kenaissance. >> what does that look like? >> it's happening now. i seell ne a ken? do you know one when you see one? >> it's hard. you know, a lot of people don't know this, george lucas based the force on kenergy. it's always been there. and we're going to talk about it next time. >> i love that. i mean the kenergy, "the gray man." we're getting "the gray man" today. i love it. i love it.

we love slushies too. thank you for joining us. we'll start with a lavender lemon slushie. how did we get lavender? >> getting fancy and starts with a simple syrup and ends up looking like this. a simple syrup is a great way to add sweetness into just about any drink even if you're making a sweet tea or something like that so it's equal parts sugar and water and you bring it to a boil and then you actually then simmer it with some food grade lavender. >> i can smell that lavender from here. >> smells so good and adds a nice sort of floral herbaceous and lemon juice and water and have homemade lemonade. >> how do we get the slushie form? >> take half of that lemonade and actually put it into a blender. sorry, take half the lemonade and put it into an ice cube tray and you freeze it. >> oh, okay.

>> once that is frozen, put it in a blender with the other half, not even all of it but the other half of the lemonade and want to pour it in there. lovely. >> so good. it's amazing. >> blend it up and really the iciness of the slushie is so lovely. much better than adding ice to lemonade. >> i love that. >> this is fantastic. >> fancy too. >> next up we have a watermelon slushie and you freeze the watermelon. >> so easy and actually really, really cost effective. watermelon is in season. his season, it's so y ig good and so what you want to do is freeze it. as you can see right here there is a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. cut up your watermelon into cubes so take the rind off, cut it into cube, pop it in the freezer and do a flash freeze first that will freeze solid and i do recommend on the parchment paper because it's going to stick to the tray. then pop it into a freezer safe

container until you're ready to use it. pop it into the blender. >> sparkling water. >> why? >> because it adds a nice sort of effervescence to it that you can't get from plain water, so if you wanted to turn this into a cocktail you could add in -- press that. you add in some white sparkling wine would be so lovely. >> i don't want to make too much noise. >> lime juice and agave, only add enough to sweeten it. and it's so lovely and refreshing. you can decorate it with mint and lime too. >> really, really good. >> amazing. >> next one, this one was really cool. coconut cloud slushie. >> yes. >> what makes it blue and how do you make clouds. >> oh, i got you covered. this is blue spirolina, an algae, it sounds not so appetizing. it doesn't really taste like

anything. if anything it sort of tastes like salt and so what you then do is pop it into your blender. you know how to do this better than i do. >> i got you. >> look at that blue color. >> beautiful. >> then you make the clouds. >> by using the back of the spoon and popping it on there and then you can just pour that in. look at you. >> this would be fun to do with the kids. >> the kids would love to do all of these. and it's healthy too. it is much less expensive to make them at home. >> that is delicious. >> it's so -- >> i love that. so good. and finally we have a coffee slushie made with coffee ice cubes. >> i have coffee running through my veins at any given time. make it really strong, pop it in ice cubes. i freeze my half and half or whatever dairy i'm using and this is the trick, get your kids involved and this is actually whip cream or heavy cream you whip up in a mason jar and

homemade whipped cream. fun for desserts but for coffee is good too. >> fun for us and delicious. scan the qr code to get these recipes, maria, thank you so much.ne on ouwe goodmorningamerica.com. you guys stay there. we'll be right b
