during the covid pandemic. cdc director dr. walensky calling this a watershed moment. >> she's ordering a complete overhaul of the agency. erielle reshef is live outside a hospital here in new york with more. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. as you know, the cdc has been under scrutiny for its confusing messaging and guidance, and now that stark review acknowledging the missteps during this covid-19 pandemic. the director saying now is the time for change. this morning, the cdc director promising a major overhaul after a scathing internally initiated review found the agency repeatedly botched its response to the pandemic. in a statement, dr. rochelle walensky putting it bluntly saying, our performance did not reliably meet expectations. in a message to staff, viewed by abc news, swhhe went on to say,

to be frank, we are responsible for some pretty dramatic, pretty public mistakes from testing to day a to communications. as an agency, even with all the terrific work we do, we still suffer the consequences from these mistakes. walensky herself calling for that review studying the cdc with recommendations throughout the crisis from masking to vaccines, confusing and overwhelming. >> it's like contradicting. it's, like, a lot of stuff going on. don't do this. don't do that. then we have to listen to both. >> reporter: the director now vowing to implement major changes including to the center's website which the review said is not easy to navigate, as well as staffing shakeups and sharing information faster in plain language easy to understand. but as the cdc tries to move from tackling the covid crisis to the rise of monkeypox, fresh criticism and concern that it took three months from the first diagnosed case in the u.s. for the agency to declare a public health emergency. >> these key steps that they point out really are critical especially in the face of this

ongoing covid-19 pandemic, this continued spread of monkeypox in the united states and also recent identification of a polio case in new york. these things are just reminders that public health emergencies will continue to pop up and the cdc needs to be prepared. >> reporter: and still, no clear timeline for when the cdc will implement those sweeping changes. robin? >> monkeypox cases are now hitting more than 13,000, but the administration saying it's prepared? >> reporter: that's right, robin. there are at least nine presumptive cases of monkeypox of children confirmed in this country. the white house has a team dedicated to tackling the monkeypox outbreak. they're going to be holding a briefing and we should learn about their strategy in the coming hours. robin? >> erielle, thank you. amy? now to the new developments in the search of former president trump's florida residence. a judge is set to hear arguments on releasing the affidavit used to why you have that search.

terry moran has the latest on that. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, amy. today we could learn more about why the fbi sought that search warrant to search donald trump's florida residence, and as trump and his allies ramp up their attacks on federal law enforcement, one prominent republican is telling them to stop it. this afternoon, a federal magistrate judge is set to hear arguments over requests to unseal the affidavit. that's the sworn legal document laying out the evidence and rationale underlying that fbi search of donald trump's mar-a-lago home. trump has demanded its full release and many top republicans are backing him. >> we need the affidavit. show your cards. merrick garland cant have it both ways. he can't give us the inventory of the warrant without telling us why it was necessary. >> reporter: several media organizations including abc news are asking the court to unseal the affidavit, but the justice department is strongly opposed arguing that doing so could compromise their ongoing investigation into trump's

alleged mishandling of classified information and presidential records. the fbi has warned that after the search of mar-a-lago, there was an increase in violent threats posted on social media against federal officials. former vice president mike pence is defending the fbi. >> we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision that he made without attacking a rank and file law enforcement personnel at the fbi. these attacks on the fbi must stop. calls to defund the fbi are just as wrong as calls to defund the police. >> reporter: so mike pence making news on another front. he is saying that he would consider testifying before the january 6th committee. abc news has learned that committee investigators have been negotiating with pence and his representatives for months. it would be an extraordinary and unprecedented situation. gio? >> it sure will, terry. all right. thank you so much. we turn now to the former

president's one-time right hand man allen weisselberg expected to bleed guilty today in a tax fraud case. aaron katersky is here with more. aaron, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gio. al allen weisselberg has been a loyal employee of trump for decades. he's due here in court in a couple of hours where he's expected to plead guilty to helping the trump organization cheat on its taxes. for 15 years, prosecutors said weisselberg was behind a scheme to pay certain executives off the books so the company could pay less on its payroll taxes and those executives could pay less in income taxes. weisselberg himself is said to have avoided taxes on nearly $2 million in income including fringe benefits like a luxury apartment, a couple of mercedes-benz cars for he and his wife, even tuition at private school for his grandchildren. the plea agreement is expected to call for him to serve up to five months in prison. gio, tax evasion was never what

prosecutors were after. when they first brought these charges, they were hoping he would flip on president trump himself, but that never happened. >> so aaron, if this plea happens as expected, what's next in the case? >> reporter: well, weisselberg is going to have to testify against the trump organization in this compensation scheme, but there is nothing in his plea agreement that calls for him to cooperae against former president trump himself in a broader criminal investigation. so for now at least here, trump appears no closer to facing criminal charges. gio? >> all right, aaron. we will see what happens. thank you so much. robin? all right, gio, and now to the extreme weather with flash flood dangers in the southwest, and severe storms in texas. ginger is tracking it all for us. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: robin, good morning. i want to start you out with pictures from interstate 40. this is in new mexico. they had to shut both lanes down for a time because of the flash flooding. that monsoon is on, and still going to intensify. just west of tucson, 4 to

distributed opiods to customers caused severe harm to those communities. the money here, $650 million, will be used to help fight the continuing opioid crisis and the families destroyed by this in lake and trumbull counties just outside of cleveland. during the trial, an attorney for those counties said the crisis has overwhelmed courts, social services agencies and law enforcement in ohio's blue collar corridor. this drug crisis has killed an estimated 500,000 americans since 1999, and robin, all three companies here saying they're planning on appealing. >> it is indeed a crisis all over the country. all right, victor. thank you. amy? now overseas to the war in ukraine. overnight a deadly missile strike in the country's second city. britt clennett is on the ground in ukraine for us. good morning, britt. >> reporter: good morning, amy. the second city kharkiv was bombarded by rockets overnight. russian shells destroying a three-story apartment block and dormitory causing massive fires there. i spoke to a fireman who responded to yesterday's

attacks. he said the destruction at the scene is among one of the worst he's ever dealt with. zelenskyy calling it a vile and cynical attack on civilians and now here in zaporizhzhia, the situation over the russian-controlled nuclear power plant is escalating. russia now threatening to switch off the plant, accusing ukraine of attacking it, but as we know, both sides have continuously blamed each other for these attacks, and later today zelenskyy will meet with turkish president erdogan on the agenda there, and following a meeting with antonio guterres here in zaporizhzhia. gio? >> incredible reporting all week long. please stay safe. thank you for that. we turn to new video in that deadly shooting of a youth football coach during a game in texas. former nfl star aqib talib whose brother is charged with firing the fatal shots has now been implicated by witnesses in the events that led to that shooting. marcus moore is in texas this morning. marcus, good morning. >> reporter: gio, good morning.

this horrific incident unfolded on a field just behind me here in texas, and it was supposed to be a simple game between 9-year-old kids, but it turned deadly, and this morning we are seeing new video of what happened. >> uh-oh. my dude got a stick. >> reporter: these new images this morning may offer clarity into the chaos that gripped a football field in texas where a youth coach was killed during a game. according to abc affiliate wfaa, multiple witnesses say it was instigated by a former nfl star, aqib talib, who they say was arguing on the field. the dramatic video capturing the intense moments. lancaster, texas, police say it started with an argument between coaches and the game's officiating crew, and that led to a physical altercation between the coaches. aqib allegedly punching a coach from the opposing team, mike hickman. the incident ending police say

with aqib's brother pullin out a gun and opening fire. 43-year-old mike hickman suffering multiple gunshot wounds. he was rushed to the hospital where he died. aqib talib, a first round draft pick spent more than a decade in thnfl as a cornerback. after retiring, recently announced as an analyst for amazon's thursday night football broadcast. his attorney saying his client is, quote, very distraught and devastated over this terrible loss of life. adding, i believe once all the witnesses are interviewed, there will be a different perspective as to what happened. his brother now charged with murder. hickman is being remembered as a devoted father and grandfather, overnight his eldest daughter released a statement saying everyone should strifeve for success in his memory and she also said, god bless the soul of the man accused of killing her dad. robin? >> oh my. thank you so much, marcus. and now we're going to turn

to lebron james. he has signed an extension with the l.a. lakers that will make him the highest paid nba player ever in career earnings. trevor ault joins us now with more. good morning, trevor. >> good morning, robin. yes, we're getting at least a few more years with lebron and laker gold. this is a few months after he reportedly became a billionaire. he has signed this two-year $97.1 million extension staying in los angeles. that guaranteed money is going to take his career earnings just playing basketball to $532 million. that is more than any other nba player ever, and we all know lebron is considered one of the best to ever do it. he's a four-time champion, four-time mvp, 18-time all-star. this is going to be his 20th season in the league.re banbr i still the centerpiece of this franchise. here's what's interesting about this deal. after two years, lebron has an option to stay with the team, or he could go, and his son right now is a senior in high school.

2024 is the first year he would be eligible to enter the draft and join the nba himself. lebron has said outright that his last year in the league will be playing with his son as his teammate. he says he'll do whatever it takes to make it happen, and this deal could very easily allow that to happen. >> yeah, but playing with his son, trevor, priceless. >> oh, yeah. >> really. >> really. >> trevor, thanks so much. >> nicely played there, robin. the little league world series is under way in pennsylvania, and this morning we have a very hopeful update on the player who fell from his bunk bed. will reeve has the details. good morning again, will. >> good morning. easton oliverson was making history as the member of the first team from utah to ever reach the little league world series, but before the tournament began, easton fell from a top bunk and suffered a severe head injury that required emergency surgery, but this morning, glimmers of hope. this morning, little leaguer easton oliverson's family telling abc news their son is showing signs of improvement. the 12-year-old outfielder was

in williamsport, pennsylvania for the little league world series when he fell from his bunk bed and fractured his skull. >> easton was on the top bunk and it was about 1:00, 1:30 in the morning and i guess he had rolled off, and landed right on the right side of his head. >> reporter: his dad, an assistant coach for the team, by his side while easton was air lifted to a hospital. but overnight his family telling abc news this morning's updates have us all in tears of joy. easton is no longer sedated and is starting to wake up more. he asked for water this morning. he has been waving and mouthing the words i love you. the doctors asked if he knew his name and he said easton. in response to this video of support from his favorite major leaguer mookie betts -- >> we're thinking of you, praying for you and hope to see you soon. >> reporter: -- easton's family writing, we showed him the video this morning, and he started to cry. his family now cautiously

not next year, actually, but we're seeing this courtroom sparring packed with salacious accusations and twists in the story. this morning, alex murdaugh's legal team accusing prosecutors of hiding the ball, allegedly withholding evidence. >> gotcha prosecution. it's trial by ambush. give us the stuff. i don't have a shred of paper. i don't have an email. i don't have an exhibit. i don't have any evidence. >> reporter: in july, murdaugh was indicted by a south carolina grand jury for the gruesome shooting deaths of his wife maggie and their 22-year-old son paul. >> all rise. >> reporter: at his indictment hearing, murdaugh pleading not guilty. >> how shall you be tried? >> by god and by country. >> reporter: his attorneys are accusing investigators of leaking details to the media instead of handing it over to the defense as required. his lawyers referencing reports about blood splatters and evidence found on phones.

>> we're ready to work. ready to hire investigators. ready to hire experts. all i know about blood splatter is what i read in some blog. i've never seen any blood spatter evidence. i've never seen any phone downloads. i've never seen any witness statements. 32 days after we make the request, we still don't have any. >> reporter: the defense has filed a motion asking the judge to compel the state to turn over the evidence immediately ad to unseal the details of the grand jury indictment. in a response filing, the state calls the motion a blatant attempt to create drama where formerly there was none, saying the state has no desire to preclude the defense from any discovery, and they will send it over when the court green lights it. >> my name is alex murdaugh. please hurry. neither one of them is moving. >> reporter: it was june of 2021 when alex murdaugh made that 911 call, claiming he'd found his wife and son shot to death outside their home. at the time, his brother said he was cooperating with the investigation.

>> my brother loved maggie and loved paul like nothing else on this earth. >> and i can tell you he was willing and still is willing to do anything that's asked of him. he wants this solved. >> reporter: in a statement the prosecution said it is categorically false that the attorney general's office leaked any information in the alex murdaugh case. according to murdaugh's attorney, the family was scheduled to meet with investigators to listen to recorded evidence before it is turned over to the defense. that trial is set for january, amy. >> all right, trevor, thank you so much. >> let's bring in abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams. so dan, we heard the accusations and the denials from the prosecution. why would the prosecution withhold evidence? why would they leak evidence to the press? >> well, first of all they're saying that they're not withholding evidence. they're saying they're just waiting for a ruling from the court on whether there's going to be a protective order meaning that would ensure none of this information, quote, gets out.

this is eventually going to get in the defense's hands. this is discovery material which the defense is ultimately entitled to. the question is not whether the defense is going to get it. the question is when is the defense going to get it and why are they in this battle right now? it sounds like there's a level of distrust by the prosecutors of the defense.pthis is not likl security case where there's going to be fights over whether they're going to get certain information or not. they're going to get all of this information eventually. it's just a question of why is there this battle now over -- >> is it strategic to delay that? >> not typically. you know, the defense would say that's why they're doing it. they're doing it because they want to harm our case, et cetera, and we're trying to get a speedy trial here. >> and we also read defense attorneys saying there are press reports saying there was blood spatter evidence in the case. why is that significant? >> look, that is apparently one of the key pieces of evidence that's going to be used against him, but blood spatter evidence

isn't quite as convincing as it used to be 15 years ago, 20 years ago. there are a lot more questions now about blood spatter evidence. the question's going to be how persuasive is it. exactly what is the blood spatter evidence? does it exist? and the defense attorney is saying, i don't even know about it. he's saying i'm reading about this in the media, so turn it over to us if you have got it. again, it's this discovery issue. these are somewhat typical fights that happen between prosecutors and defense attorneys. it's just a little bit odd how explosive this one's gotten. >> all right. well, i'm sure we're going to have a lot more to come on this. dan abrams, thank you as always. robin? >> amy, thank you so much. go t. we want your take on what's coming up. mariah carey wants to make it official and trademark the queen of christmas title. how other singers are responding and how dan a rbrams is going t respond as well. come on back. i like that tune. eliquis.

title on everything from clothes to alcohol, dog products and more, but not everyone agrees she deserves it. singer darlene love also fighting back. ♪ christmas ♪ ♪ baby, please come home ♪ >> reporter: the songstress known for her hit "baby please come home". >> darlene love. >> reporter: which she performed annually on "the david letterman show" as a tradition. telling abc news in a statement she said, i adore mariah carey as an artist and song writer, but to register the term queen of christmas as a trademark for her whole usage doesn't reflect on the holiday spirit of love and gratitude. queen of christmas should not be exclusive to anyone except for mary, mother of jesus. ♪ i want to deck the halls ♪ >> reporter: singer elizabeth chan also fighting back against carey's legal motion. filing a formal declaration of opposition. she releases christmas tracks each year and released her own album titled "queen of christmas" in 2013. >> christmas is meant to be shared and it's for everyone.

it has nothing to do about how rich and famous you are. it's about how much spirit you have to bring people together. >> reporter: carey herself rejected the crown saying, quote, i'm someone that loves christmas, that happened to be blessed to write "all i want for christmas is you." everybody's faith is what it is, but to me, mary is the queen of christmas. >> if i was one of the attorneys opposing this, i would copy and paste that statement and put it into my legal pleadings. there are so many other singers that could legitimately have a claim to this title, that it is not distinctive and exclusive to mariah carey. >> and that's not the only thing that carey was hesitant about. back in 1994, carey thought it was too soon in her career to record a christmas album, but she changed her mind. to me she'll always be the queen of the high notes. >> that is true, mona. no disputing that. appreciate that.

dan? >> this is a tough argument for her to make. the idea that she should be able to own all queen of christmas merchandise moving forward. in particular, putting aside the fact it's a generic phrase, queen of christmas and you have these over singers who specifically used that phrase and been called that. so i don't see how she's going to be able to win this sort of trademark application. >> yeah. i think darlene love had the best response really. much respect for mariah as an artist and all that, but is it really in the christmas spirit to try and -- >> you're trying to prevent other people from using it. she can position herself as the queen of christmas and sell stuff, but she can't prevent others from doing it. that's what a trademark does. >> and that statement from mariah about mary. >> yeah. up next, the free solo climber speaking about his latest feat. that's coming up only here on "gma." stick around.

platforms like weight or birth plan might not be as private as some want them to be. >> they're collecting data and using privacy policies they use to recipes or picture sharing or things like that. >> reporter: the organization looked at 25 popular reproductive health apps labeling 18 with a privacy not included warning, noting that the data you supply may not be secure, and saying that eight failed to meet the company's minimum security standards. after roe versus wade was overturned earlier this year, many women wondering if they live in states where abortions are banned if their reproductive health would be protected, or if it could be shared with other brands, apps or even law enforcement. >> what we found is most companies had fairly vague statements. it was hard to tell, you know, whether companies would be voluntarily disclosing data to law enforcement if they came asking. >> reporter: experts say it's up to each person to do their

homework before signing off on privacy terms and before entering sensitive information online. >> each consumer has to do an analysis on how useful they find the product and the risk they may be exposed to based on where they live, and there are lots of products available that are ultimately very useful and popular tools without exposing themselves to as much risk. for example, one that might store data locally on your phone or produce third party data sharing. >> reporter: several of the companies dispute mozilla's findings, but experts say be sure to read those privacy consent forms thoroughly. some red flags to look out for. if those consent forms are unusually short or incredibly confusing. also look for the word sell. you don't want to accidentally agree to a provision that allows a platform to sell your personal information. guys? >> great advice there, erielle. thank you very much. time for some "pop news." >> no advice. just fun news. let's do it.

[ applause ] so you were shooting this film in your home state of texas, and i understand crowds were gathering, and the thing is they weren't there for you? >> no, they weren't. i mean, i am a texan and i spend a lot of time in austin, and i actually stay a lot in that neighborhood with my -- with my friends, and but no.

these neighborhood kids would gather while we were shooting and they would ask me to ask lili reinhart for, you know, pictures and autographs and so i was kind of te go between, so i would then go to set and we would be getting ready to do a scene and i would say, you know, lili, after we finish this, it would be great if you could go out on the corner and do some pictures. she's got enough on her plate where she's doing almost two movies at the same time, but yeah. i was kind of the go between for the neighborhood kids and parents. >> someone asked you to take a picture and they're, like, hey. could you take a picture of me with lili? >> the kids would ask me and i would say, yeah, i'll do my best and i would ask her and the parents would be, like, so i would kind of feel double the pressure to get it done, but lili always accommodated, and yeah. >> she's a delight. >> she's great. >> she plays as you sort of alluded. it's basically two movies. her life could go in two

different directions. one where she becomes a single mother and the other where she moves to l.a. to pursue her career. it's a very cool concept. i think a lot of people have sort of wondered, have you ever dealt with a moment like that or thought about your life going in two different directions? >> yeah. i mean, i feel like it kind of happens every day with different jobs or different people or different relationships, but i just kind of try and do the best job i can with the path i'm on. >> yeah. don't second guess. >> yeah. but yeah it is interesting how she kind of plays two different parts, and danny ramirez plays the father. he does a great job. he never told me he was in "top gun" by the way which i found out later. i would have led with that. >> great job there. >> he's great. >> should we look at a little bit of the movie? >> please. >> here's a clip from "look both ways." >> everything okay? >> haircut. >> i feel disgusting. >> and we're actively dealing

with it, right? >> right. >> take a look at this. there's still a little bit -- what do you think about this length? >> oh, boy. that looks great. >> i look like a mom. >> then, that's a good thing, right? mom jeans, dad bods. parenting is cool now. right? >> no. >> right. we've seen you play a dad before on screen, but a grandfather? >> i know. for so many years i kind of played boyfriends, and enjoyed doing that, and then i played a couple of dads and then jumped right to grandfathers. which i didn't even realize until we were shooting the movie. someone said, have you ever played a grandfather before? i said, no, i never have. i guess that will happen at some point in my career, after this movie. i didn't even realize what i was doing, but -- >> how was that for you? >> i thought i would have a little more time just playing regular fathers before i got to the granddad stage, but as an actor, those are the steps you take i guess. >> you checked that box. you also star in the

movie "stargirl" -- the show that comes out this month. it's apart of the d.c. universe, and your brother owen, of course, apart of the marvel universe. you actually live together with your brother, and you're about to go see him. any sibling superhero rivalry? >> no, not really. i mean, it was funny. we were -- we would get home at the end of the day and he would say, how was your day? i would say, it was good. i was battling the shadow land. how was yours? he was, like, loki and i were battling kang the conquerer. we were limping around from the different stunts we did, but yeah. it was interesting that we were both kind of -- we were a house divided, but the marvel people, i enjoyed them being around them. they're nice people. tom hiddleston was a great guy, and he's doing loki season two right now, and then "stargirl" is coming out at the end of this month, august 31st. >> oh my gosh. "legally blonde 3." we've heard reese talk about it. >> yeah.

i think i know as much as you all do, but we did have a zoom kind of call and get together last summer where the whole cast, jennifer and matthew and selma all got together in talks and it was great to see everybody. reese is such a sharp individual as you know. i think she's probably just waiting for the script to be right and the time to be right and that would be really fun to make another movie. i mean, that's one of those movies that seems to be handed down from mothers to daughters. >> right. >> yes. >> it can keep evolving. as we saw in "legal blondes" in two. >> my daughters and i can all do the bend and snap. >> yeah, you can. >> it works. luke, thank you so much for being here. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. >> think about it. you sound so much like your brother. >> i hear that a lot. yeah.

i'm always hoping i can just kind of slip in and do the "cars" voice for him. >> you could. what a talented family. >> thank you for being here. "look both ways," everyone, is available now on netflix. coming up, robin is talking to melinda french gates on the power of giving.

californians have a choice between two initiatives on sports betting. prop 27 generates hundreds of millions every year to permanently fund getting people off the streets a prop 26? not a dime to solve homelessness prop 27 has strong protections to prevent minors from betting. prop 26? no protections for minors. prop 27 helps every tribe, including disadvantaged tribes. prop 26? nothing for disadvantaged tribes vote yes on 27.

♪ welcome back, and i'm grateful to share my exclusive interview with melinda french

gates who's writing a new chapter for herself and releasing a master class sharing how anyone can find a way to give back and make the world a better place. she joined me virtually from seattle for our conversation. >> you have something to give back. >> reporter: she's one of the wealthiest women in philanthropy. for over two decades, melinda french gates has worked to solve some of the most critical issues. >> is there anything that keeps you up at night? >> yes, keeps me up at night are the women i've met on my travels and you just see what women are up against all over the world. i often think about what is it we could do to create impact and change for women around the world? both in other places and in our own country. >> reporter: that concern extending to women in the u.s., after the controversial supreme court ruling overturning roe v. wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion. >> it is devastating to see any law rolled back that has to do

with women's health. every woman has the right to decide whether and when to have children, and that should be done in the privacy of her home. the government should not be involved in a decision like that. >> reporter: through the giving pledge, melinda vowing to give away the majority of her wealth in her lifetime, fighting poverty and advancing equality for women, girls, and other marginalized groups. >> i think it's really important to reflect on your values before you start giving because i think your values are what should drive pretty much everything you do in life. >> reporter: now melinda is teaching others about impactful giving.

>> i'm melinda french gates and this is "masterclass." >> reporter: sharing how anyone can give back. >> we'll be offering you a framework and a way to think about giving, whether you're just starting or you're kind of midway in your journey. >> there are going to be some people that are seeing this piece and going, you know what? my rent is sky-high, my mortgage, food prices. i don't have any money to give. what do you say to folks who are in that situation and feel that way? >> i say you have so much to give besides money. you have your time. you have your voice. you have your expertise. there are so many ways we can give back. >> and what kind of influence do you think you have on your children? because your parents and your family laid a very strong foundation about giving back. how do you see your children carrying on that legacy? >> i was very purposeful with our children that i took them out even when they were young at the holiday times to build, you know, boxes for the homeless,

but then that went onto a discussion about homelessness in seattle. so i tried to bring them into projects early on. i encourage other families to do that, and now each of my three children in their own way are figuring out what are their talents in the world and where might they give back over the long haul? >> reporter: melinda and ex-husband bill gates announcing their divorce last year after 24 years of marriage, keeping private the details of their agreement to split their fortune estimated around $130 billion. it is very difficult to go through a divorce no matter who you are. what did you learn about yourself during this process? >> i learned that our philanthropy actually called us to be our best selves, and so even the most difficult times behind the scenes we're working through the difficulty of the divorce, and there was sadness, we're both showing up for the foundation and showing up well, and i think that held us together and allowed more grace during that period, and that's kind of smoothed things over on the back end a little more quickly.

>> i know it was recently announced, your husband an additional $20 billion for that institution. were you part of that? >> my values are baked into the foundation. we're absolutely talking about the gift we gave together last summer, and his most recent gift, how do we accelerate our gift giving in the world right now. >> reporter: and reminding us all even the smallest gesture can make a big impact. >> this is a time when we're all dying for more community, and i think giving back is a place that you can form community so this couldn't be a more perfect time to start thinking about how to give back. philanthropy helps draw people together. that i know from 20 years of giving. >> and melinda's "masterclass" is out now. she's donating the fee from "masterclass" to support resources toward gender equality, and she's partnering with them to give out free annual memberships here in the u.s. and abroad. she's not trying to influence people on where to give, but share information on how you can learn about giving back and make

an impact big or small. i tell her this every time i speak with her, and she told me this in one of our first conversations, where people would say, why are you doing so much in other countries when we have so many problems here? she said, it's not either or. it's and. >> i love she also said it's not about the money. give however you can. whatever it is you have. >> if you don't have something to give, you can do. >> yep. >> and teaching your children that is a great lesson. that is a great master class. >> we all have different types of resources. thank you so much. i got to run. keep holding down the fort. >> we're going to save a sandwich for you. >> we will. >> making something special. >> i almost want to stay for that because they prepped me

on that 6789. save us, ginger. take it. please. >> reporte drew: your accuweather forecast -- morning fog, afternoon sunshine, a wide range of temperatures later this afternoon. the seven-day forecast a little warmer tomorrow inland. much cooler hey, ginger. you're in tampa this morning taking in on the fun, food and the history of that great, great city. we love it. where are you right now? >> reporter: right now just outside armature works which is where they used to keep the electric streetcars, but right now it has been rehabbed. it's all bars, restaurants and even some workout classes. i could use some yoga, and it's free. all right, and coming up, jeff mauro is serving up a chicago favorite. it's the italian beef sandwich. stick around. you are watching "gma."
