category 4 hurricane. the latest track showing tampa taking a direct hit. that city expecting the worst storm it's seen in a century. >> florida governor ron desantis has declared a state of emergency. mandatory evacuations are already under way and we have team coverage this morning. ginger starts us off in tampa. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: good morning, george. a calm sky that will look different in 48 hours. the sorm is now over cuba and it will sbes fie again today as it takes aim at florida. the current track taking it right over tampa. that's a worse case scenario. that's something we don't want to see. that would push a ton of water. it would have incredible winds. the tract has been moving southeast. we fneed to keep a look on this.

we have hurricane warnings along the coast. this morning, hurricane ian made landfall as a category 3 in western cuba lashing the island with winds of 125 miles per hour. all that after roaring west of grand cayman. hurricane hunters flying into the eye to gather data as it rapidly intensifies. this is just a beginning. ian is strengthening as it heads north to florida. storm drains in miami already overwhelmed by tropical moisture days ahead of the storm. water spewing from the middle of the street. florida under a state of emergency with hundreds of thousands of mandatory evacuations already under way. tampa bay preparing for a worst case scenario. if they take a landfalling major hurricane, it will be the strongest storm for them in a century. in hillsborough county lines to fill sandbags were long. some folks waiting an hour. >> it's very scary, lots of unknowns. we don't have gutters in our house. i'm very concerned about the flooding and the rain. >> reporter: a similar scene in

pinellas county. people boarding up windows as the hurricane looms. so many of the beaches west of tampa have erosion issues just from regular thunderstorms or sunny day floods, but now with the huge monster of ian coming at them erosion will be a problem. fema loading trailers with 2 million meals as 5,000 guardsmen from the state are being activated. several schools and universities canceling class. >> just be prepared to lose power. i think that that's something that people should expect and depending on the severity of the storm those power outages can be lengthy. >> reporter: long lines ballooning at supermarkets. shelves cleared of the essentials. >> just topping off gas for our generators. hopefully we don't have to use them. just getting prepared. >> reporter: florida gas station lines swelling as people either gear up to stay or to get out. >> reporter: you've probably heard time and again that a five

to ten-foot surge would be terrible. look at our drone. i have this that can help you understand. as the water piles up from south to north, it will converge into smaller rivers, the canals. it will overflow. that's when we end up seeing major issues, not just along the coast, but in the worst case scenario with a category 3 storm we could see flooding for miles inland. one of the peninsulas that goes to an air force base could flood across three and a half miles. the storm surge warnings up with watches to jacksonville. michael? >> ginger, thank you for that. in addition to the storm surge, residents are preparing for sustained hurricane-force winds and up to 20 inches of torrential rain. abc news senior meteorologist rob marciano is in st. petersburg, florida, with more on that. good morning, rob. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the exact tract of this storm may keep changing, but the

hazards it will be bring will not. extreme wind and rainfall and a tornado threat. here in st. petersburg we're close to the gulf of mexico. we have the bay on one side and the gulf on the other. we're that much closer to the center of the storm at its peak. let's talk about windfill. right now we have tropical storm force winds that extend 100 miles in the center. when it makes landfall, that number doubles. our computer model showing it going into tampa and south and tornados will be right on the path and that threat begins as early as this morning. because it's moving so slowing, 15 to 25 inches of rainfall from here across i-4, orlando,

daytona, jacksonville, there will be flooding. then the rain gets into the carolinas. a huge chunk of the southeast will see impacts from the storm. amy? >> my goodness. the storm is causing massive travel disruptions as you might imagine with cruise ships rerouting. ports shutting down. aviation officials are now warning flights could be disrupted for days. our transportation correspondent gio benitez is at tampa international airport where they are preparing this morning. good morning to you, gio. >> reporter: hey, amy, good morning to you. tampa international airport already suspending all operations starting at 5:00 p.m. today. take a look at this because overnight the airport sent us video of teams preparing for the storm. the airport was set to stop operations when sustained winds hit 50 miles per hour, but the threat is so great they didn't even wait for those winds. but it's not just tampa. united has already canceled operations for tomorrow and thursday in ft. myers, sarasota, key west and, of course, tampa.

united and american both issuing travel waivers for just about every major airport in florida, including miami, ft. lauderdale and orlando. the concern, of course, those dangerous outer bands from hurricane ian. but no doubt about it, george, tampa international faces the biggest threat. >> that is a challenge. okay, gio, thanks very much. we're going to get the latest on the war in ukraine. with escalating resistance across russia to putin's new military draft and thousands taking to the street. others lining up at the border to get out of the country and chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is on the scene in ukraine. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, george. frankly, extraordinary scenes at russia's border with thousands and thousands of people, many of them fighting age men, essentially voting with their feet against putin's effort to try to mobilize reservists into his war in ukraine. this morning, tens of thousands fleeing russia, desperate to avoid being drafted into vladimir putin's war in ukraine. here you can see the massive line of cars stretching for miles as russians, many fighting age men, try to cross into neighboring georgia.

more than 100,000 have crossed through here in the last week. reports of some waiting for over two days to get across. andre fled from his home in st. petersburg into nearby finland. [ speaking in non-english ] he says, "i don't want to fight for putin. i don't want to die young." in russia the backlash turning violent. in siberia, a gunman entering a recruitment office opening fire wounding one officer before being taken into custody. and in the western part of the country, a man is seen firebombing another recruitment office seen in this video online. at least 17 have been reportedly targeted in recent days. now in the russian republic of dagestan people taking to the streets to oppose the draft, clashing with local police. and this morning, the final day of the stage referenda in russian-occupied parts of ukraine. there are fears moscow will formally annex these regions declaring them part of russia, but the white house and others

dismissing the kremlin's attempts to steal ukrainian land. >> we stand with our partners around the world in rejecting whatever fabricated outcomes russia announces. >> reporter: but there are concerns that if russia officially annexes these territories possibly by the end of this week, putin could then use it as an excuse to further escalate the war in ukraine. well, there have been reports in the russian media denied by the kremlin that russian authorities could try and prevent some people from leaving. there's certainly plenty of evidence to suggest people are being stopped and checked and in some cases not allowed to leave the country. george? >> ian, there's also news on edward snowden, the man who revealed national security secrets from the united states and then escaped to russia. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. i mean, it looks like a snub to america, right? the former nsa whistle-blower edward snowden now being given official russian citizenship. remember, u.s. authorities have been trying to get him extradited from russia. he sought asylum years ago to face justice after he leaked

those thousands and thousands of pages of documents revealing the scale of surveillance from americans. however, it looks like he'll be one fighting-age man who won't face putin's draft. george? >> ian pannell, thanks very much. michael? now to the white house, president biden proposing new travel rules for airlines in an effort to crack down on hidden fees. our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega is in washington with the details. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning to you. we've been talking about this for so long now. this comes at a really tough time for travelers with all these cancellations and lost bags. so really what the president, what the white house wants to do is require airlines in the third-party travel websites like travelocity or kayak to show these additional fees up front so people know what they're paying the first time the price is shown not later in the booking process. the hope here really is that this improves transparency when you go to shop around for flight prices. so this covers -- i'll show you

here. when you're talking about fees for passengers who want to sit with their kid, you have to pay mre for that often. a change or cancellation in a flight or pay to check or carry on a bag. now, airlines when it comes to these bags collected more than $5 billion in baggage fees last year alone, but, george, here's the catch in all of this. the public has about 60 days or so to comment. we're talking about potentially months before any of these rules are actually finalized. george? >> cecilia, thanks. turn to wall street where stocks slid into a bear market yesterday. 20% below recent highs as concern grows over rising interest rates, a possible recession and the health of the global economy. cief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is at the new york stock exchange. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, george, and we've now seen five straight trading days here at the new york stock exchange of declines in stocks and that puts the dow in bear market territory. that is, it is down more than 20% from the highs it reached earlier this year. what does that mean for the economy? well, since 1929 in the great depression we've seen 26 bear markets, 15 of them were

accompanied by a recession. this one wall street's focus is on inflation, those rising interest rates and now the british pound, that sell-off in their currency leading to fears of a global recession. george? >> and rebecca, lots of speculation about whether the market is finding a bottom. >> reporter: yes, there will always be that kind of speculation in an environment like this. here's what we know. bear markets tend to last ten months on average. that's a lot less than bull markets which is when the market is up more than 20%. bull markets come and last for three years. for some context the last one which started in 2008 led for 11 years. george? >> rebecca jarvis, thanks. amy? well, george, now to the urgent search for a famous ski mountaineer. american hilaree nelson reportedly falling through a crevasse while skiing down a peak. maggie rulli has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, the desperate search for one of the world's most famous ski mountaineers, hilaree nelson. the 49-year-old now missing

after her sponsor north face says she was in nepal attempting to ski down the world's eighth largest peak. "the himalayan times" reporting eyewitnesses watched her fall into a crevasse on the peak. she was on the peak with her partner jim morrison when she went missing monday. rescue efforts hindered by the sheer height of the mountain. where tragedy also lies below, according to "the new york times," an avalanche killing one person and injuring 14 others the same day. just last week, the famed mountaineer and her partner forced to turn around on a summit on the same peak and she wrote on instagram, i haven't felt as sure-footed on the manaslu as i have on past adventure into the thin atmosphere. nelson, who was the captain for the north face athlete team, boasts an impressive two-decade-long career with dozens of firsts. becoming the first woman to summit mount lhotse and mount

everest within 24 hours. hilaree nelson is also called the most prolific ski mountaineer of her generation. she's also a mother of two. authorities say they will continue their search but right now it seems like the chances of a rescue are slim. michael? >> all right, maggie, thank you so much for that. now we'll turn to nasa's attempt to steer an asteroid by slamming a spacecraft into it as a practice run in case a giant rock ever threatens the earth. the probe successfully crashed into the rock at 14,000 miles an hour last night and our trevor ault has more. >> reporter: for the first time overnight nasa achieving the unprecedented, intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid. >> we have impact. >> reporter: a rare sight. scientists celebrating their spacecraft losing signal. a sign of successful contact with the target.

bill nye even seen taking selfies with missions operations. this historic test known as dart, the spacecraft the size of a refrigerator, barreling through space at 14,000 miles an hour, the target, a 500-foot space rock named dimorphos located 29 times farther away than the moon. >> we rammed an asteroid that is 500 feet across 7 million miles away. now, if that isn't precise targeting, i don't know what is. >> reporter: these images seen seconds before impact showing clear detail of the rocks on the asteroid. [ applause ] and the reason for the test, preparing for a doomsday scenario we've seen play out in countless movies. the possibility of an asteroid on a catastrophic collision course with earth. >> this comet is what we call a planet killer. >> reporter: dimorphos posed no threat to our planet, but scientists wanted to see if it would be possible to divert one off course if they had to. >> this is the first mission for planetary defense but this is

the technology that could literally save the earth one day. >> reporter: now, it will take a few days or weeks to see how far off course this asteroid was diverted but there will be major telescopes watching from around the world and beyond it, and in a few years europe will launch a mission to take a look at the crater that dart left behind. michael, i'll try to get you a seat on that one too. >> trevor, i will let somebody else have that. i want to share. >> that's nice of you. you're generous. >> thank you, trevor. a lot more coming up on "gma," including the case of the missing california mom, maya millete who vanished more than a year and a half ago. there's a new development this morning. then we hear exclusively from the woman who fought off an attempted kidnapping and the good samaritan who rushed to help. but first let's go back to ginger. >> reporter: amy, tampa and surrounding areas have seen tropical storms for sure. you can see me there just last year, that was elsa and ada that was a problem and within 50

as far south as lee county which is captiva, sanibel, just west of fort myers, and there's a reason for that, the storm is nudging southeast. let's see where it is now. just over cuba. you can see the eye clearly. it will intensify as it aproaches florida. in the current track it is a worst case scenario for tampa. cat 3 making landfall late wednesday into early thursday. the bulk of the impacts then, the bulk of the push of water, the storm surge up to 25 inches of rain, incredible tornado threat that will extend all the way to the east. the entire peninsula has warnings. this morning, hurricane ian made landfall as a category 3 in western cuba, lashing that island with winds of 125 miles per hour. all that after roaring west of grand cayman. hurricane hunters flying into the eye to gather data as it radly tensieaniss justhe beginning. ian is still strengthening as it heads north toward florida. storm drains in miami already overwhelmed by tropical moise moisture days ahead of the storm.

water spewing through the middle of the street. florida under a state of emergency with hundreds of thousands of mandatory evacuations already under way. tampa bay preparing for a worst case scenario. if they take a landfalling major hurricane it will be the strongest storm for tampa in a century. so many of the beaches west of tampa have erosion issues just from regular thunderstorms, or sunny day floods, but now with the huge monster of ian coming at them, erosion will be a problem. fema loading 360 trailers with more than 2 million meals as 5,000 guardsmen from the state are being activated. we have a brand-new tool that i can't wait to share with you because if we get the five to ten feet of surge it's not just the bay coming over bay shore and going a block or so. but look at that drone video. i'll draw arrows to show you how the water would be pushing in and converging on smaller rivers, creeks, all of the

waterways. when it converges, it would not just flood right along the area you see along bay shore, of course, that would be susceptible, but here's what we anticipate. there are neighborhoods that go for 3 1/2 miles between the hillsborough bay and ole tampa bay. so check this out. we could see flooding for miles inland across all of these neighborhoods that get you over to the water on the other side. this is, again, in that cat 3 worst case scenario, not the one where it goes south of here and you get anti-surge. but look at it. you have the warning of the flooding between the bays, that entire peninsula and flooding well inland. the hillsborough reservoir and the dam released, and that will be a big player if the storm hits this way but you'll see surge, michael, two to four feet up to jacksonville even. >> ginger, we hope that the worst case is not the case. thank you for that. in addition to the storm surge that ginger talked about, people are preparing for the hurricane-force winds and up to 20 inches of torrential rain. our senior meteorologist rob marciano is in st. petersburg,

florida, with the latest. good morning, again, rob. >> reporter: hi, michael. all those hazards are in play. we're just about a mile from tropicana field where the rays play baseball. they're out of town. nobody wants any part of this from the bay of gulf of mexico, st. petersburg is right in it and we're even closer to the wind field. let's go over the wind field which is going to be expanding as it comes off cuba. this thing strengthens, but more importantly, the tropical storm force winds double in size by the time it makes landfall. it's slowing down as well, so that will be a problem. everywhere on the right side not only extreme winds but the threat for seeing tornadoes. i think a watch box will go up this morning. the southern two-thirds of the peninsula will see tornadoes over the next two days and because it is slowing down, the rainfall threat will be extreme. 15 to 2 feet of rain possible, tampa through orlando, jacksonville and getting into the carolinas as well, huge chunk of the southeast feeling these impacts. guys? >> all right, rob, thank you so much. and coming up next, in our "gma morning menu," why hailey bieber is under fire over her makeup look after sharing it on tiktok.

good morning, stephanie. >> michael, good morning. hailey bieber doesn't claim to have invented the brown lip liner and clear lip gloss, but that post about that combo led to an influx of tiktok users re-creating the look on the platform and crediting bieber as their inspiration. others calling it cultural appropriation. this morning, supermodel hailey bieber facing backlash after sharing her new lip routine on tiktok with the caption, ready for all the fall things including brownie glazed lips. ♪ new girl on the block ♪ >> reporter: the now viral post causing a wave of criticism. social media users calling out the supermodel claiming she is culturally appropriating the makeup routine using dark lip liner and clear lip gloss, a popular style from the late '80s and '90s. >> i know that that lip combo is not hailey bieber lips. it is a latina and black woman

lip combo. >> the issue is when something is sort of presented as if it's something new when it's a practice that has been around for decades and decades. african american and latina women get denigrated for the way that they present their body, the way they braid their hair. people use words like ghetto o or ratchet and have these identities to denigrate women. >> it was ghetto. it was trashy. it was not cute. >> reporter: many pointing out that the lip style was accepted when a white woman did it. but not when a woman of color did. >> because if that would have been me in high school, here in the midwest, i would have gotten so much shame for that. i would have not fit in. >> reporter: kylie jenner faced a similar controversy when she announced her new lip tint spanish for kisses. [ speaking non-english ] >> it is highly unlikely a black or latina woman would have the

same success as her using their own trend. so you're taking from the community without giving them the credit. i know it may seem trivial as a lip gloss, but it's a systemic issue. in the end it is still the black and latina women who are losing parts of their identity. they lose their self-worth. >> this rebranding of sorts we've seen before. at one point an influencer shared a recipe for "spa water." users pointing out the drink shares the same recipe as a popular mexican drink -- [ speaking non-english ] communities just want credit. if you're going to take the idea, you may want to mention where it originally came from. >> makes some sense. stephanie, thanks very much. now to our money smart series. this morning we're looking at home ownership with mortgage rates doubling since the start of the year above 6% and a lot are wondering if they can afford their dream home. lynn richardson, author of "yes, you're approved," joins us with some advice. good to see you again.

>> good to see you. >> we are seeing these mortgage rates wealth. how should potential homeowners think about it? >> home ownership is the foundation for building wealth and it's still the american dream. one strategy is to get a mortgage payment that's less than or equal to your rent no matter what the interest rate is. if you're spending $1,500 a month on a rent payment that's $18,000 a year. that's $90,000 over five years for something that will never belong to you. you're paying your landlord's mortgage so you may as well pay your own. >> first, you have to come up with the down payment. >> yeah, well, the idea that you need 20% down is a myth. even if you have 20% to put down, i don't recommend that you use it all, because in these times you need some of that money for your reserves and your repairs. for every thousand dollars that you put down extra, it's about a $6 to $7 difference in your mortgage payment. so $10,000 down more will save you $60 to $70 a month. is it better to save that or is it better to have that $10,000 in your reserves? >> though zero down payment options sound attractive. what about the fine print? >> here's the deal.

mortgages have been here forever. they are not new. they were here before instagram, twitter and even email, right, but no money down doesn't mean no money at all. you still have upfront expenses like your appraisal and your home inspection. a 0% down mortgage simply means you'll get reimbursed for your expenses at the closing. ask your mortgage professional for a side-by-side comparison. don't accept the first thing and then make the decision that's right for you and your family. >> what's the checklist? >> first, get a budget. go to my website at asklynn.org and follow the 10/10/30 work sheet and get rid of extra expenses and put them in your dream home savings fund. two, get pre-approved so you know how much money you have to

spend. three, don't give up. you can overcome foreclosure, bankruptcy, job loss or any issue if you're willing to do the work. >> a lot of good advice. thanks very much. let's go to amy. >> all right, george, thank you. now to the latest trend taking over tiktok. we've seen everything from cheese to charcuterie boards, even breakfast and dessert boards, but now it's all about the butter board and this food fad is all the rage. take a look. ♪ >> reporter: from cloud bread to whipped coffee, tiktok recipes are always feast for the eyes. the creamy creation taking over everyone's feeds right now is no exception. >> then we're doing some truffle honey with macadamias on that. oh, and garnishes and that's it. >> reporter: butter boards, a brand-new spin on charcuterie boards, decadent piles of good stuff decked out with colorful and delicious ingredients to be used on your favorite snack and eaten like a dip or spread. the #butterboard trending with more than 80 million mentions on social media. >> have you heard of a butter board? >> reporter: content creator justine doiron's post went viral. >> served with warm bread and feels like communal. >> reporter: she said she was

inspired by a technique by chef josh mcfadden. the craze inspiring more variations of the widely loved charcuterie board. >> butter boards are the new viral trend, but let's make it my way. >> reporter: some using cream cheese, goat cheese and even hummus as a base instead of butter. and joining us now is recipe developer and content creator, justine doiron, whose viral tiktok videos brought butter boards to the masses. so we can thank her for that. the video has also been viewed over 8 million times. so good morning. thanks for being with us. >> i am so thrilled to be here, so thrilled to talk butter boards. >> you even said the success of this video took you by surprise. >> i was so shocked. this is actually a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks, the 2017 book "six seasons by josh mcfadden," and he had an amazing recipe for it. when i put it on the internet i was surprised that so many people loved it and created their own versions of it. >> what do you think it is about the butter board that people are drawn to? >> i think people like things that are customizable that they can be creative with.

that's what i love about food when you can make it your own and adapt it. that's why you've seen so many video. >> what's your top tips for creating your own butter board? >> okay, well, it can be really tricky if your butter is like way too hard before you're spreading it or if it's way too soft, so i tell people to find that happy medium. you want to take it out of the fridge around 15 to 30 minutes before you want to spread it and also all of these are on the board, but if you want to like eliminate any mess i really recommend having wax paper to put down on your board. then you can prep it beforehand and take it out right before you serve it. >> you brought us a couple examples of some of the ones you developed. let's start with your first one. >> we have a sweet one. this is figs, honey, mint, always flaky salt. so what i love is drizzling honey on top right before you want to use it. and then the one thing that i would say, people think that these are for like dipping. this is not a dip. you want to have a knife. you want to spread it out because it's like warm bread. this is like we're taking a stick of butter and making it a

lot more fun, a lot more accessible. >> is that just one stick of butter or a couple sticks? >> that's probably two. >> just wondering. >> you can do whatever that fits your party size. >> what is this one? >> this one is my favorite. it's toasted coriander and cardamom. it's that elevated sweet and savory. what i love doing is edible flowers, add a bunch of color. these add -- >> what kind of flowers? >> lilac and rose actually. >> lilac and rose. and you can do micro greens as - well and serve it with radishes, very french. >> very french, i like it. final one, looks spicy? >> i know i'm saying these are all my favorites. this is my favorite. this is chili oil and garlic confit. think of it as a deconstructed garlic bread. >> okay. >> so, again, we're spreading with a knife and not dipping, but i won't judge if you do want to dip, and then make it as you want it and have capers and parsley and it's good. >> and lemon. squeeze lemon on it. >> i do lemon zest.

all are so much better if you get that lemon zest on there. >> any bread will do? any cracker will do? >> bread, sourdough is one of my favorite, a baguette. >> we're inspired. justine, thank you so much. you can scan the qr code on your screen to get these recipes and tips on our website, goodmorningamerica.com. thank you very much. we're going to head over to ginger now. >> reporter: hey there, amy. with those nudges south on the track we want everyone down to marco island where we have the earth cam here on alert. we've got brand-new evacuations for captiva and sanibel. the impacts will start in less than 24 hours so tomorrow is really the day when we could see late tomorrow afternoon a landfalling hurricane on southwest florida. so either way, waves are going to be piling at the coast in so many spots, many of the models now taking it south of tampa and watch as that shifts today. i would encourage anyone from naples all the way up to fort myers, venice and even farther north because of the up to 25

and said, how, how best do we do that? >> it's part of the how, everyone who has written a book, you know you do a pitch and you guys did a video pitch, but apparently there were challenges between you two sisters putting it together. >> the whole book is about helping little kids find their voice, literally. it's based and inspired on when i was little and had a big gift and this loud voice and wasn't always sure when to take up space and call attention to myself. so i feel it's something that kids should -- we should have that conversation and -- but then -- so it's all about helping kids find their voice, but then i always stifle my sister's voice because we're doing this pitch video during the pandemic so we weren't going on meetings in person. so we put this whole little pmo, we're the menzel sisters and i said i'm smarter. and she's supposed to say -- >> and she's cooler.

you got it backwards. i'm the smart one. she's the cool one. >> no, i say i'm smarter -- oh, i go, you say you're smart. [ laughter ] no, i say, she's smarter and she's supposed to go, she's cooler, and i said stop saying it like that. say she's cooler. don't say she's cooler. then i gave her a whole complex and it was like our whole dynamic as sisters and now she's afraid to speak with me and we're doing this book about speaking. >> line reading after line reading. >> you sold me on the pitch right there. just that piece right there. >> i'm so bossy. that's what we've discovered. >> cara, what is it like to collaborate with your sister in this way? >> well, it's the best. it's the best for several reasons. one is because she is who she is and she's just an inspiration, period, you know, everything about her, but also it's nice to have a professional relationship and, you know, not just because

i get to spend more time with her but she gets to see a different side of me and who i am. she gets to see me as a writer. she gets to see me as a teacher. >> and teachers are just so great. i remember she wasn't sure what to do with her profession and she was a t.a. at boulder, at cu, and i came and watched her teaching a class and i was like, from this very more inhibited shyer girl and up in front of the class she just came out, you know, and she was this incredible -- she just -- you know, she was incredible with the kids. >> how incredible was i? [ laughter ] >> you know, you really have to have charisma and keep these kids' attention. i said this is your thing. you can do showbiz as a teacher. >> well, now, your theme is writing books. what's next in the series? >> we have a sequel that's about the little sister growing up in the shadow of her annoying bigger sister. >> yes. [ laughter ] >> no, because i always knew what i wanted to do ever since i was a little girl and i think that's very annoying to a lot of

people that actually don't know when they're 6 years old and they're trying to figure it out so -- >> it wasn't just that -- i was enamored with her and her talent but it was especially difficult just thinking am i supposed to have a thing? i don't have a thing. >> it's called "proud mouse." >> speaking of your thing, which you do very well, "disenchanted" coming out november 24th. tell us about that. >> we got to do it 15 years later. thank god we look okay. the whole cast got together and it's so exciting and i have a song, this amazing song that steven schwartz who wrote all the "wicked" music and alan menken wrote for me and it's a really special song. >> such a huge fan of the original. so excited for this to come out. >> thanks. >> speaking of songs, you lit up the internet. you did a harry styles cover for "adore you." >> yes, but i did it with nile rodgers because i'm working on some dance music.

he wrote "we are family," "good times." he said, let people see you can really sing pop music. a lot of people just assumed i do the broadway thing. we were just hanging out recording and he said, sing a song and then it becomes a viral hit. i don't know why. it's like, come on. [ laughter ] >> meanwhile there's a song for the book too. >> oh, that's right. thank you for reminding me. i wrote "dancing in rain." ♪ with my tail in my hands my whiskers are proud i sing it big, i sing it la, la, la, la, loud ♪ and so there's a whole song that goes with it that i hope lots of kids want to sing. >> no one -- no couple has ever sold a children's book like you in the last six minutes. >> master class. master class, george. >> "loud mouse" is available now. tory johnson is here next with "deals & steals."

has not tested the infrastructure of tampa. you see all the homes west of there. there's old tampa bay on the other side you'll see on the horizon in just a moment and that right there is where we end up seeing water and flooding as well. we'll keep an eye on this storm drew: i am abc 7 meteorologist drew tuma. mostly sunny skies this afternoon, 60's and 70's along the shoreline, 80's inland. warmer thursday coming u coming up, one of the bst-known businessmen in america, steve case sharing his strategies to start your own business. coming up on "gma."

country. he joins us to talk about his new book, "the rise of the rest." steve, thank you for being with us this morning. >> great to be with you. >> we know, we were talk going this before we came on, you spent years traveling around the country and just learning about start-ups and talking to start-ups so why is it important for you to share this with everyone. >> there's too much focus on a few start-ups, places like silicon valley get the attention and frankly most of the investment capital, venture capital, and they are all over the country and we spent most of the decade investing in a hundred different cities building great companies based on the experiences they have in those communities and they can figure out ways to do things that help move the world forward and not just about a few people in a few places, it could be anyone anywhere and that's why i wrote the book. >> and speaking of investment capital, you write 75% of investment capital is invested in new york, massachusetts or california.

>> crazy. >> but there is a lot of country out there and a lot of opportunities that are all over this country. >> yeah, the venture capital community started really on the coast and so that's where most of the money goes, but there are great entrepreneurs everywhere. unfortunately some feel like they have to leave where they are to go to silicon valley because that's where the money is. the message of this book, you can start anywhere and build a company and increasingly get capital. over the last decade 1400 new regional venture capital firms have started so, for example, there's a mom in a suburb outside indianapolis that was worried about clean water after the flint water crisis. she started a company called 120 water to do that so this is something she had a personal experience and then built a company in indiana to solve that problem. that's what dozens of other entrepreneurs and i tried to profile in the book to inspire this next generation of people including some people watching right now. if you have an idea go build a company and do it right now wherever you happen to live. >> i love the fact that a lot of these companies you point out they were started because people had a need and spoke about the water filter.

make sure you have clean water. that's really important to point out. that these aren't just everyone thinks i have to come up with a great idea. they were inspired by something they found their community needed. >> you know this. entrepreneurs see a problem. something they don't like in their lives and say i'll do something about it and start a company to do it. another story in the book are three kids that were in college together and in the washington, d.c. area and said there is no healthy food that's healthy fast food in their neighborhood. so they started a company called sweetgreen that is a national brand. went public, $2 billion valuation. it started a salad company because they saw a problem and wanted to solve it. this is what's happening all across the cost. those stories aren't getting told. there's too much focus on mark zuckerberg and silicon valley and not enough on the people that see that problem and do something about it. >> if there's someone at home and have a great idea with no business experience how do they get started and get financing? how do all those things come in play? >> hopefully the book is

designed to give them tips on that. one is to get started instead of just talking about the problem, do something about the problem. you have to then test the market a little bit. get a sense of is your idea going to work? you have to build a team. like in sports it's about the team and having complimentary skills and you do have to figure out how to raise the initial capital. it's helpful now there are capital sources all across the country that didn't exist ten years ago. so that's a new opportunity for people who have ideas. they don't have to just think about the problem or wish they were living someplace else. they can start now. >> get started. that's always the most important thing. and i'm just curious. what do you look for when you're investing in the next big thing? >> well, i think the next big thing is how the internet meets the real world and opportunities to think about health care in different ways, food and agriculture in different ways, financial service in different ways, so we want entrepreneurs who are trying to solve a big problem and in the process build a significant company. one we found in richmond,

virginia, temper pack thought that styrofoam was bad for the environment. it is bad for the environment. created a more sustainable packaging solution that now is being used by a number of companies. goldman sachs just invested $140 million. it's a company in richmond, virginia. they saw a problem, they did something about it. jonathan webb in eastern kentucky was worried about sustainable agriculture and also coal country not having a lot of job growth and he started a company an app harvest and now employs 500 people in eastern kentucky. tis is happening all over the country. the reason to write the book is because the stories aren't being told. we're celebrating a few people in a few places and not really painting the picture of this future of american entrepreneurship which will be much more inclusive, much more diverse than we've seen recently. >> i tell you what, those stories may raise my eyebrows and i'm sure at home and the book is going to continue do that. >> thank you. there's your copy. >> that's right. >> thank you. >> "the rise of the rest" is out today. make sure you go pick it up. steve case. >> always great to see you, thank you. >> always great to see you.

robin, this will be an extraordinary adventure. tomorrow, robin roberts with danai gurira, a "black panther: wakanda forever" journey to africa. >> robin, this is going to be amazing. >> announcer: and to the beauty and wonder of ghana. >> all: good morning, america. >> announcer: experience, feel the inspiring worldwide impact of "black panther." >> hey, robin.
