all the rest of his vital signs were in the normal range. he's been taking paxlovid, like you said, and will continue to do that. dr. ashish jha, the white house covid response coordinator, said that a couple of times since testing positive, the president has also used an albuterol inhaler he had. the white house says they have contacted 17 people including senior staff and members of congress who they considered close contacts with the president. they said that so far none of them have tested positive. dr. jha, they're really trying to enforce that the president was in a good mood, still had worked a full day and even had his appetite. janai. >> maryalice, thank you for that update. now to whoopi goldberg and her upcoming passion project about emmett till and his family's fight for justice. it took a decade for the oscar winner to bring this film to the big screen and i sat down with whoopi and the team behind the movie to look back at this crucial chapter in american history and why they say it's a story that had to be told no matter how long it took. it was the muder that stunned a

nation in 1955. emmett till, the young black boy killed in mississippi after whistling at a white woman igniting a spark in the civil rights movement. now oscar winner whoopi goldberg and film director chinonye chukwu are teaming up bringing this crucial story in american history to the big screen. >> when you talk about the struggle to get this film made, why? >> this is a story that people think they know and they know it because they've heard half tales of what went on and how this all went down, but people forget these are two people, a mother and a son. and in the middle of all of this nation could throw at two people, they threw. and mamie threw it back and, said, we're not going to close the casket.

i want them to see what they did to my son. it's a mother's story. >> what did that mean to you in taking on this project? >> that meant writing and directing a film that is from the perspective of the woman for whom we give credit for us even knowing who emmett till was and credit to a lot of the freedom work that came after 1955 that she was a catalyst for. >> reporter: danielle deadwyler plays mamie till-mobley bringing the civil right activist's legacy to life. >> it's everything to embody the experience of this kind of legacy that i've known all my life. it's what you learn about, the terror that black people have had to experience in this country. i yielded myself and i understood this to be a great service. it's beyond an honor. >> reporter: like you heard

doesn't cup up. you want to have as much surface area contact as you possibly can. seasoning goes in or on the patty right before. >> both sides. >> want to make sure actually that your burger is as cold as possible. so like steak, sometimes you want to leave them out at room temperature. burgers, go as cble into the pan. >> why is that? >> same reason, to keep the fat in there and keep it really nice and tight, because otherwse that fat is going to melt out too fast and you end up with a dry patty. >> don't mess with it. get it in. >> that is correct. >> from here from the cooking, we go to building. >> that's correct. >> i'll build over here but i want you to talk about -- guys, this is called million dollar bacon. i need to have a piece of it. maybe we could take the million dollars and buy some springsteen tickets, but we'll do the million dollar bacon. >> so if you build the burgers, these are done over here. the million dollar bacon we

welcome back to "gma" and the zero proof dating trend. sober dates proving to have legs. 75% of users saying in a survey they would prefer not to drink on those first few dates. so how do you bring this up with your new boo? here to break down the benefits is dating coach and founder of smart dating academy, b bela gandhi. bela, we are so glad to have you here to break this down for us. this is a hit. why would people -- look, i know the reason, i'm sure you guys too, why you would not drink on dates. why is this a trend now? >> look, the pandemic had no small role in this, right? so many singles had to quarantine alone by themselves so they said, you know, i really like true love, true partnership and a healthy partner. they're dating more intentionally to find healthy partners. a great way to do that is to be

sober to make good choices while you're dating. >> i think i know the answer, but what are the benefits to dating like this? >> so people want authenticity, right? if you think about it, when we drink too much, we become a different version of yourselves. and as we drink more, that version is probably not the best version of ourselves. from a mental health standpoint that people are prioritizing now, that first drink might feel great to take the hard edges off of our anxiety. but ultimately alcohol is a depressant, so if you're prone to being sad, angry when you're drinking, not a good idea. we overshare and we move things too fast when we're drinking, so at smart dating academy we want everyone to not miss the red flags that people throw down early on. if you're buzzed, you might miss them. >> that's key, right? >> so key. >> want to catch the red flags right away. but how do you communicate this with a potential date that you want to have a date but without

the alcohol? >> so, if not drinking is a priority for you, you can write it right in your profile and a lot of apps, you can designate these are my drinking preferences and this is what i want for my partner as well. a low-stakes way that people ask people out all the time, do you want to grab a drink. if you don't want a drink, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to shut this person down, but counter-suggest a good, creative date that doesn't resolve around alcohol. and here's the key, short and sweet. >> like a coffee. i like a coffee. you won't to give someone your nght until you want to give them your evening hours. [ laughter ] >> i have nothing to say. >> i 100% agree. >> you have a past a test to get an evening date. >> i did, breakfast then dinner, but really as people are trying not to do this, you can talk about it up front first and let people know. >> you can definitely let people know and don't schedule a four-hour kayak date with somebody, right, again, short and sweet.
