first former president in american history to face criminal charges from the federal government. the latest in a litany of charges. impeached not once, but twice. last month found liable for sexual abuse in a civil trial. indicted in state court for paying hush money to a porn star. his company convicted of tax fraud. trump still faces two more possible indictments for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. another first. that former president defeated for reelection once is, for now, at least the front runner for his party's nomination. our team is covering all the angles of this astonishing legal and political story. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas starts us off. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. hard to overstate this moment. a special counsel has just taken the most consequential action in recent doj history, perhaps ever. he's indicted a former president of the united states who is again running for office. overnight a federal grand jury voting to indict donald trump in

the special counsel's investigation into his handling of classified documents. prosecutors telling the former president to be in court on tuesday in miami to face arraignment. sources telling abc news trump is facing multiple charges, ranging from illegal retention of government documents regarding national security to conspiracy, to obstruction of the government's efforts to retrieve though documents. the indictment marking the first time an american president has faced federal charges. justice department appears to have compelling new evidence including an audio recording of donald trump allegedly on tape admitting to keeping classified materials, quote, secret, this is secret information. look at this. this was done by the military and given to me. also saying, as president, i could have declassified, but now i can't. president trump responding with fury on his social media site last night, saying he never thought it possible such a thing

could happen, calling it a dark day. >> i'm innocent and we will prove that very, very soundly and, hopefully, very quickly. thank you very much. >> reporter: trump has insisted all along he's done nothing wrong. after leaving the white house, trump spent months haggling with the national archives over whether he had returned all government records as required by law. when the fbi learned trump still had sensitive documents despite his team's insistence that they had turned everything over, agents raided his home in mar-a-lago seizing 100 classified documents. trump argued he declassified any material he took from the white house. >> if you're the president of the united states, you can declassify just by saying it's declassified. even by thinking about it. >> reporter: but his attorneys have offered no specific evidence in court that the material was declassified. i'm told to expect a speaking indictment, which will lay out the government's case chapter and verse.

the special counsel knows it has to be crystal clear why this had to be done. >> this will all go down in miami tuesday. senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky is there. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning. the former president was issued a summons to appear in miami federal court tuesday when he will surrender to face the federal charges. at that point, he will be placed under arrest by the very government he was once elected to lead. he'll stand before a judge to enter a plea of not guilty. a similar process played out two months ago in new york when trump was indicted on thursday and appeared in court on tuesday to plead not guilty to 34 felony counts related to the 2016 hush payment to stormy daniels. the indictment handed up here in miami involves charges under the espionage act and obstruction statutes that can be punished with decades in prison. the search of trump's estate touched off threats against the fbi and the justice department. this courthouse has already been stepping up security in anticipation of a trump appearance.

george, they're taking no chances here. >> aaron, thanks. we're joined by one of donald trump's attorneys. jim trusty. thank you for joining us, jim trusty. what did you learn from the special counsel? >> well, we learned that this special counsel is hell bent on criminalizing something that i really don't think has a criminal basis under the presidential records act. we now have a summons to appear tuesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. it has at least a summary of the types of charges we expect to see in the indictment. and it puts a stamp of reality of something in terms of the weaponization of the department of justice. >> i know you're going to use that phrase weaponization of department of justice. it's not just the presidential records act. reportedly the espionage act much more seriously perhaps, obstruction of justice, false statements. those are common crimes. >> yeah. all of which is predicated on the idea that you can send a message from the white house to

the archivists to doj to use a dispute, a regular dispute about documents in a former president's home and turn that into a criminal investigation and criminal raid. it all stems from the same initial corrupt and politicized source of weaponizing something that, by statute, is not a criminal offense. >> i think there are countless examples of people who have been charged for similar crimes. both sides should wait and see what is actually in the indictment. what was president trump's reaction last night? >> president trump, this won't be a news flash. he's a pretty resilient guy. he's a pretty tough hided person. he's not crumbling in fear or anything remotely like that. he's upset by the notion of this indictment. it's a different conversation when you have a client who's committed a crime and knows they've done something and finally gotten caught. that's a pretty easy conversation, or relatively easy conversation as an attorney. when you're innocent of the charges and know this is

weaponized, it's a different conversation. what's interesting to me, just kind of stepping out of my role as attorney and just talking about it person to person. when i had this conversation with him, he very quickly pivots to concern about the country. it's not a real selfish analysis. it's, this is a bad moment for our history. this is our country turning the corner. as somebody who's been around criminal justice for 30 years, i agree with him. it's a rubicon that we shouldn't be crossing. >> doesn't the president, don't you believe in the principle that no person is above the law? the president committed the same crime someone else did, shouldn't he be charged? >> no person is below the law. that's really the issue here. you've got these investigations in delaware that are 1,000 times more serious by a sitting president who has authorized his doj to try to sink the candidacy of his prime opposition while that guy has unsecured documents that he stole out of a skip dozens of years ago. look, we're not talking --

>> what are you talking about? what are you talking about? that is a ridiculous statement. >> there's this issue -- nice try. there's an issue that anyone that reads any newspapers would agree that parallel track which is the delaware document scandal of joe biden where there's a special counsel, rob herr, that's investigating it. you know there were documents that were sensitive that were marked classified found in a garage near a corvette that made their way through china town to the penn biden center. there's 1850 boxes that have never been fully looked at university of delaware. you have the ultimate unclean hands of a current sitting president who had no declassification, had none of the protections of president trump and who literally had to have stolen stuff from a skip. even dick durbin commented this was an outrageous possession of classified material by vice president at that point joe biden. that's what we're talking about. you can scoff and act like there's nothing to it.

the whole country knows the basic notion of unequal treatment and fairness. that's what's at issue with this prosecution. >> i think that is certainly what is at issue. we will see how it plays up. i don't think you have any of the evidence to back up any of the charges you just made. mr. trusty, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. we have to start there. what is the distinction of the cases of president biden and president trump? >> first intentionality. did you do it on purpose? most specifically, this is not going to be at its heart a case about retaining documents. this is going to be a case about refusing to abide by a federal subpoena. and a critical issue is going to be not where the documents were held, but what are the documents? you don't need to get into details of how sensitive was it. based on one of the charges here, the espionage charge, it is clear that the special counsel believes these were very sensitive documents.

as a legal matter though the key is, did you do it on purpose or not? did you intentionally try to obstruct justice? that is something no one thus far has alleged with either vice president biden or pence. >> what do you make of the strength of this possible indictment and what a possible defense could be? >> it sounds like it's going to be a pretty strong legal case. you already hear the seeds of one of his defenses. one is going to be a legal one which is you can't obstruct justice if there is no underlying crime. it's going to be a tough argument for them to win but that's going to be one of the legal arguments they make. we're going to have to say exactly what's in the indictment to know how they'll defend each and every point. as you read the indictment, you think about it. keep remembering the point of intentionality. keep thinking about the idea of, do they have evidence that this was done on purpose? and if they do, how do you

defend against that? if there is an audio tape, if there are witnesses who were at mar-a-lago who testified about what they were told to do which makes it clear that there was an issue. those are the critical points. >> one final point. there's nothing to prevent donald trump from continuing to run, even being elected. >> correct. except as a federal crime and he is elected president, he would either pardon himself, get the justice department to drop the case and announce that he's going to be released from prison. federal charge, when you're president of the united states you have a lot of control over what happens. i expect he's going to slow roll this case and try to move it until after the election. if he wins or ron desantis wins, i think this case goes away. >> dan abrams, thank you very much. lindsay? now to reactions from candidates on the campaign trail. let's go to rachel scott in des moines. good morning, rachel.

>> good morning. one thing is clear. none of this does prevent donald trump from running for president. his campaign immediately started fund-raising off of this. his advisers tell me he is moving forward with his campaign event as scheduled. there are 12 republicans in the race for president. donald trump is the front runner. but nearly the entire republican field is walking a very fine line. his own former vice president, mike pence, and former new jersey governor chris christie entered the race delivering their sharpest attacks yet on donald trump. they are not criticizing him over this indictment. pence said there needs to be new leadership but that an indictment would divide the country. christie knows how high the stakes are here. he wants to read the details of this indictment but says no one is above the rule of law. then you have trump's biggest rival, florida governor ron desantis. he is attacking the justice department, not the former president. only one candidate, former arkansas governor asa hutchen

said that this is every single reason why trump needs to end his campaign now. but from the campaign trail to capitol hill, that is not something we are hearing from most republicans. juju? >> rachel scott, so much fallout. thank you. we're going to turn to the white house where president biden has yet to comment on the news of the indictment. mary bruce has more. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, juju. you'd think the president might want to seize on the indictment of his top political rival but this white house is not commenting. look, president biden wants to stay far away from this because he has long vowed to protect the independence of the justice department saying again yesterday that he doesn't tell the department what to do or suggest what charges they should go after. and the president knows if he were to weigh in on this, trump and his team could take what he said and use it to fuel the claims that this is somehow politically motivated. the biden team is also well aware that trump is eager to fund raise off of all of this, so expect the president and

white house to stay silent on all of this instead of attacking donald trump. the president will stay laser focused, we are told, on governing, trying to draw a clear contrast. george? >> okay, mary. thank you very much. we're going to switch stories and stay in washington, d.c., the smoke from canadian wild fires. 20 states on alert this morning. trevor ault is in d.c. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: here in d.c. they issued the first ever code purple alert signifying unhealthy air. that is so unprecedented that the mayor said she didn't even realize code purple went beyond code red. overnight we saw more stunning images, thick, hazy smoke from philadelphia to cleveland down to baltimore and well beyond it. we're talking about record shattering poor air quality. the air quality index is a 1 to 500 scale. yesterday in harrisburg pennsylvania they hit 491. that's even worse than new york city's 484 from wednesday when we all know the city was basically in a burnt orange eclipse. we cannot forget those canadian

fires are still burning. 20,000 people evacuated. federal government and several border states will be sending more firefighters up to canada to try to get those fires contained. today we are seeing major public schools in philadelphia and new york city going remote learning. while clearly you can tell in d.c. the smoke is getting more diluted in the air, there are definitely still several pockets where the air is registering as unhealthy to breathe. guys? >> starting to look better here in new york. our thanks to trevor for that. coming up here on gma, jordan van der sloot in the usa. dan abrams will come back to break down that case. >> scam u. how thieves are ripping off travellers with a hotel booking scheme. plus game 4 of the nba finals tonight with a must win battle for the miami heat against the denver nuggets. will reeve is there on the scene. we'll find out more. but first we'll go to sam who's in for the weather. >> we're going to dive into this smoke story. it really is unbelievable. the eastern third of the u.s. is

dealing with unhealthy air quality from canadian wild fires. look at all numbers here. let's go back into nashville, atlanta, raleigh and some of the bigger problems coming out of the pennsylvania into delaware. so when you see the unhealthy level in parts of delaware here, they're dealing with bad smoke. getting better. how did we get into this situation? from two block systems that are in weird positions for this time of year. that's that low. think of everything going counter clock wise around it. and this high clock wise around it. grab the smoke from the wild fires. it's like a super highway for the smoke directly into our area. it's an unusual position. we aren't going to get the wild fires out. this continues to be a problem until those systems move. they are moving now. we get the low out of the way. we get the high moving to the coast. thicker smoke gets pushed out to the atlantic, for now. any time we get into a position where the air is coming back from that area, whoever it is in the country gets the direct effect from that smoke. another way to clear it out, a little bit of rain.

that's happening in the northeast today. whole lot of rain is going to act like a street sweeper and get this smoke out of the way by the time we're in monday. much better air for the weekend. much better conditions. some of this rain gets to where those fires are. that's the weather around the nation. here's what you can expect this morning. drew: i'm drew tuma with your accuweather forecast. mostly cloudy skies giving way to partly cloudy conditions later this afternoon. it is breezy. temperatures mainly in the mid 60's to mid 70's with good air quality.

states he would have to return in 15 years. guys? >> thank you very much. dan abrams is back. how strong is this case? >> it's very strong. this is the case where you're talking not just about the testimony of beth holloway. you've got eyewitness testimony. you've also got documents, records of the financial transactions. any cases involving money, dollars, you tend to have that kind of documentation behind it which tend to make those kinds of cases stronger. >> what happens if he is convicted? any changes he could face any other charges? >> i know the family is hopeful. i think that's unlikely as a practical matter what will likely happen, if he's convicted, he would stay here until sentenced. he would then be sentenced, sent back to peru to finish up his 28 year sentence there. i don't think he would have to serve all 28 years. then sent back here to serve whatever the sentence is that he got in connection with the crime here. >> huge moment for the long suffering holloway family.

>> can you imagine finally getting to confront him in court after all of these years. after feeling like they know he knows. they know he's got information about this. they know that he's been deceiving them for all this time. now they get their chance to confront him in court with a very strong case against him. i think it's going to be a significant moment. >> he could be spending the rest of his life in prison, couldn't he? >> yeah, in connection with both of these cases he could. it's probably unlikely based on the fact that he's 35. it could happen. again, in peru, it wasn't life. even though it was for the killing of somebody. >> thank you for that update, dan. we appreciate it. coming up, we have the emotional reunion. the l.a. rams coach who saved the life of a boy from drowning. their emotional reunion this morning. next a warning about a hotel booking scam. our transportation correspondent gio benitez is breaking down what travellers should know. hey, gio.

victim to a bad host. the hotel wasn't even fully open. air bnb telling me these fake listings have no place on their platform and that host has been banned and never received any money through air bnb. air bnb refunded mcfarland and the hotel gave her a real reservation. what should you do? experts say there are red flags. >> if anyone is asking you to pay in a nontraditional form of payment like a prepaid gift card, bit coin or even via a peer to peer app like venmo, cash app or zelle, those are huge red flags. >> reporter: other expert tips, always book online with a credit card and look at the reviews. >> find out what the actual hotel is charging for that room and most likely you'll probably get a better deal from the hotel directly anyways. >> reporter: no matter how you book your rental property or

hotel, just make sure it's a good idea even before you take that trip, just give them a call and make sure the reservation is there. >> such good advice, gio. i know you're at the airport because you want to show us a free new feature for air travellers? >> reporter: that's right, juju. we're here at jfk's terminal 4. we've got folks here. there's a lot of people traveling. we're just turning the camera around. >> excellent. >> reporter: you know clear. clear is a product that you pay for and you get through security a lot faster. you do have to pay for it. you have a membership fee. now they're introducing a feature that you don't have to pay for. you don't need a membership fee for that. i want to show you the app. this is the clear app. when you go to it, you can put your flight information there, helps you find your flight. it suggests when you should get to the airport and when you should leave your house. at the very bottom, once you scroll down, you will see a spot that says reserve. that's this new product. called reserve by clear. i'm going to open up my qr code. once you find your flight it's

going to give you a qr code. it will tell you when you should go through security. we've got gail here. good morning. she's going to scan the qr code. okay. and that's it. so now even if i don't have a membership, i can still go ahead and cut through the line and not have to wait in all that time and spend all that time in line and get all the way to the front. i'm going to do that and see how far i get. it looks pretty good right now even though there are quite a few people working. >> that's amazing. >> reporter: listen, clear says this will save you -- you can do this in about five minutes. it's pretty good. back to you, guys. >> you clearly cleared the lines there, gio. i love it. kind of like a nuclear launch code. you need all the tricks of the trade if you're heading out this summer. >> those who have clear subscription will be like, why am i paying for that? looks like it will come in handy for everybody else. coming up the mom on a mission to wipe out student lunch debt. next the plays of the day with

of government documents regarding national security to conspiracy to obstruction of the government's efforts to retrieve those documents. the indictment marking the first time an american president has faced federal charges. the justice department appears to have compelling new evidence including an audio recording of donald trump allegedly on tape admitting to keeping classified materials, quote, secret, this is secret information, look, look at this. this was done by the military and given to me. also saying as president, i could have declassified, but now i can't. president trump who said he declassified the material he took responding with fury on his social media site saying he never thought it possible such a thing could happen. >> i'm innocent and we will prove that very very soundly and hopefully very quickly. >> reporter: trump has insisted all along he's done nothing wrong. after leaving the white house, trump spent months haggling with the national archives over whether he had returned all government records as required

by law. but when the fbi learned trump still had sensitive documents despite his team's insistence that they had turned everything over, agents raided his home in mar-a-lago seizing more than 100 classified documents. trump argued that he declassified any material he took from the white house. the indictment now filed and the world wants to know how strong is this case, george? >> we'll learn a lot more on tuesday. thanks. now to the air quality alert. dangerous smoke blanketing much of the country with a warning on the jersey shore. rob marciano is there. good morning, rob. >> reporter: good morning, lindsay. any other day, today would be considered horrible air quality, but after the week we had, some cases record breaking, today is a relatively good day. code orange or even worse. drone shot shows you a gentle surf across the steel pier. that may be spinning later today. some soar this amusement park

which many fear would end up weakening the voting rights act. the court decided a congressional redistricting map drawn by the republican led alabama state legislature violated the voting rights act because it drew only one district out of seven where majority of voters were black when one in four or more alabamans are black. under this legislature's map the court found many black voters were packed into one district, many others cracked or splintered into other districts, diluting their influence in elections. the chief justice, in his opinion, writing the voting rights act does not permit a state to provide some voters less opportunity to participate in the political process. fierce dissent justice thomas said the approach that roberts and the liberals took is a proportional allocation of power. roberts said the court was following the law.

the voting rights act. this decision will have a huge political impact not just in alabama but right across the country. it could tip the balance of power in the house of representatives after the next election. guys? >> okay. thanks very much. coming up in our gma morning menu the l.a. rams coach who helped save a drowning child. we'll tell you what he learned after damar hamlin's cardiac arrest. the virginia mom working to cancel school lunch debt for everyone. what she's doing to make sure no kid goes without a meal. plus delicious dishes to celebrate national soul food month. i didn't even know that was a thing. but i am here for it. and lara has a special guest. >> i'm here for that and this guy. oscar, emmy, tony nominee, samuel l. jackson is with us this morning. he's back in a new series. he's going to tell us about that and so much more coming back on good morning america.

rams defensive coordinator raheem morris scooping up wyatt who nearly died in his arms two weeks ago. >> truly a miracle. truly. >> reporter: it was memorial day and the stanleys were pool side at the encore hotel in las vegas. the details are still a blur. >> i was sitting in a chair. my 7-year-old son moves over and says wyatt, he's under the water. there was no heart beat, there was no pulse. when i picked him up, he was actually face down his nose at the bottom of the pool. >> reporter: the chaos of that moment two strangers dr. andrew and raheem morris jumping in to help. >> my kids are in the pool. i hear a scream. i see wyatt laying by the pool. he was blue. >> color of your shirt? >> probably darker than my shirt. i could just feel the panic of it all when you feel like you are alone.

i looked down and asked where's the ad machine? >> i ran to the other side of the pool. when i approached wyatt, i knew being an er physician, i knew he was in trouble. >> reporter: coach morris, who had just received training and working the aed machine in the wake of hamlin's collapse on the field in january, ran to get it. mean time dr. andrew performing cpr and mouth to mouth. >> i started doing chest come compressions to assess the child. you feel for a pulse. that child had no pulse. >> i can hear him in the same tone say when he got the pulse and shortly after that, water spit out the kid's mouth. >> reporter: that was the first sign of life. >> when he said, he has a pulse, i started clapping. >> reporter: paramedics transported him to the hospital where dr. andrew visited him. >> it got emotional. not only did you save wyatt, you saved his family. >> reporter: how's wyatt doing? >> it's hard to say what his future will be because he was under the water for so long.

we are truly so happy that raheem was there and dr. andrew was there and truly again miracle. god placed them all directly where they needed to be. >> reporter: that's right. there are aed machines in most public buildings in the country and most office buildings. we have one, too. you can notice it by the sign. the experts say familiarize yourself with where these are. they are super easy to use. you just open the box. you take it out, unzip it. open it up and just follow the instructions. this could be life saving. guys? >> an important story. matt, thank you very much. >> absolutely. we're going to turn to a growing issue as the school year is ending for millions of students, districts across the country are facing millions of unpaid meal debt. ike ejiochi met a woman who is

raising money to settle the bill in her area. good morning, ike. >> reporter: this is a major issue in many school districts across the country. mounting school debt that can take money away from key resources. it was a problem one mother refused to ignore. she feels a student's inability to pay should never get in the way of her success. >> food is so crucial and such a critical part of our lives. >> reporter: for year, adele has been raising money one call or social media post at a time so that virginia students can focus on their studies, not their stomach. >> i want to make sure no school is left holding the lunch bag, so to speak, for so many kids that haven't been able to pay their debt. >> reporter: according to the usda an average of 460 million meals are served to children nationwide each month through the national school lunch program. more than 70% of those meals are offered for free or at a reduced price. this school year students are amassing record lunch debt.

according to the school nutrition association, districts across the country already reporting $19.2 million in lunch debt accumulated by november of last year. >> i have gotta believe double or triple sense. when you've got an unpaid meal debt, it's got to be paid for. it will eventually fall to the general fund. >> reporter: prince william county, the second largest school district in virginia, schools have already racked up more than $300,000 worth of lunch debt. is that number surprising to you? >> no. pretty typical, honestly. we knew our families were a little confused coming back from the pandemic and not understanding the deals had a cost associated with them. >> reporter: during the pandemic, schools were provided waivers to offer free lunch for all students but that provision ran out at the beginning of this school year. five states have stepped in to make universal lunch permanent in their states. four passed temporary measures and at least 23 more have pending legislation. what are the challenges to getting students to sign up for these free and reduced meals?

>> i think one of the biggest barriers is people have pride. they don't want a handout from a government entity. >> reporter: something subtle knows all too well. >> there were times i may have gone without lunch instead of applying for free and reduced because my mom was very proud and she didn't want to take advantage of any programs if she didn't absolutely have to. >> reporter: in 2017 she started a nonprofit called settle the debt. since then, she's raised more than $190,000 to pay off lunch debt in her district, more than 50,000 this year alone. a big help, but a band-aid of a bigger problem. when it comes down to it, what does success look like? >> going out of business. when we can close our doors and not raise any more money because there's no more need. >> reporter: now subtle is currently on a mission to affect change on a state level. she advocated for ten bills in virginia that have passed. she says because of her work kids can no longer be given a lesser meal or have their entire

meal thrown out if they don't have the money for it. she's working to pass universal free lunch in her state. guys? >> good for her. >> so important. there's so many kids that rely on school to get perhaps their only meal of the day. >> from an uplifting story to pop news.

[ applause ] 15 years of playing nick fury. what do you love about him? what do you hate about him? >> hate? i hate that he's not in everything. [ laughter ] and i love that he doesn't have a super power, but he has the power of persuasion. >> that is a super power in a way. >> i guess it is, if you're dealing with supers. it helps. >> in this series you play nick fury without the signature eye patch. that's not the only difference in this nick fury. >> he's been away for awhile. after the blip that all the people who watch marvel, kind of changed the world and changed a lot of things. nick has been missing. you find out in spider-man, what is that, far from home? that nick's been not there and

been replaced by his friend at the end of that series. you find out he's been up on a spaceship and not on earth. so he's come back now. that's what secret invasion is basically based on. >> let's take a look at a clip. >> you gonna move? >> i haven't decided. >> that's what i'm worried about. the fury i knew was always three steps ahead. >> if i remember correctly, you called me. >> on talos' request. your lack of contact over the last few years sent a pretty clear message. >> meaning? >> you're not ready -- >> not ready? is that true? >> he's got some issues. that's why he hadn't been back. when he comes back, he's not as

sharp as he used to be. you could have picked a clip where i was actually doing something. [ laughter ] >> they picked the clip. >> i love watching colby though. colby is the best. she's been with me as long as i have been nick fury, she's been around. great to have her there. >> you were genuinely excited about one of your other co-stars olivia coleman. you were a superfan. >> i'm a superfan of everybody who was there. olivia was great because i hadn't watched broadchurch. my wife watches all this. i started watching it. i have watched her and seen her in so many other things that when i walked in the room the first day we were going to work together we kind of looked at each other and started laughing. like, this is going to be the best day ever. turned out to be an amazing day. to work with her, amelia clark. i watch game of thrones, the whole series.

to work with the mother of dragons was great. >> is it true you've thrown out fake spoilers to throw fans off in the past? >> yeah, but that's the job. [ laughter ] you can't tell people what's gonna happen or they won't be surprised. people make up stuff anyway. everybody got their own take on the marvel universe. those who read the comic books or think there's -- they know more than everybody else. it shouldn't be this way, should be that way. or captain marvel should be -- all those things happen. all these things flow together. we have to keep people on their toes. they feed us things sometimes that feed the commentary. >> feed the beast. >> feed the beast online. >> you have a big weekend coming up. tony awards. your first ever tony nomination for the piano lesson.

what does this nomination mean for you? >> it's a culmination of i guess a lot of hard work and the hopes that every actor has when they start. if you have a real determination to be part of this business and you've been here in new york in the trenches as a young actor fighting your way up and doing off broadway, off broadway. you end up coming to broadway and you do a particular play or a role in a play that you enjoy or you have a certain affinity for that allows you to say all the lessons i have learned from all these different directors and all the hours that i spent on stage and working my way up in this business even as i had a certain amount of success in the cinema.

this is very meaningful to me because i started out there. i took a lot of lessons from a lot of people. the experiences. the interaction with other actors being in a play with people that you love to go to work and see every night. and the love of an audience and what they give you, the energy that allows you to come and do eight shows a week, even if it's a three hour show that you look forward to every night. being nominated means thaf okay you absorb the lessons you've done everything that you need to do and the audience has given you something back. people recognize the fact that you have achieved a certain level in your craft. hopefully, i can continue to do that. >> we'll be rooting for you. >> congratulations.

>> thank you. >> secret invasion premieres june 21st on disney +. how "the cottage" are here live coming like going hiking, just to hike to the bathroom. reaching for the bar, just to reach for pads. waiting for the sunset, just to wait for the stall. discover gemtesa. a once-a-day pill proven to reduce all 3 key symptoms of oab: leakage episodes, urgency and frequency in adults. do not take if you have a known allergic reaction to gemtesa or its ingredients.

people use it as bit of a get away. there are all kinds of complications and tea and cigarettes and alcohol and fun wonderful stuff. it took forever to get it to the stage. when these guys signed on, it went like lightning. >> i was reading it. it was like five years in the making then, boom, kizmit. this guy, eric mccormack. how great to have him as your star. so jason calls. and you're like -- obviously, yes. >> when jason alexander calls you and says broadway, there's only one answer. i had to give my answer in 24 hours basically. >> no pressure. >> but i love this play. i really have dreamed for a long time of doing a new comedy on broadway. there was nothing but yes. >> i was reading you dreamed you were john cleese as a boy. >> i'm canadian. i grew up with the queen on my money, python from an early age. i'm doing my best john cleese. >> i'm totally in. lilly, nice to meet you.

what's it like working with alex and eric and being bossed around by this guy? >> i know. he's the worst. surreal in a word. not to age you two but i was raised on your tv shows. i don't really have any idea who that guy is, but great to work with. >> snl, baby. that's great. alex, such a fan of you on saturday night live. >> thank you. >> i was reading this is truly a dream for you to be on broadway. >> who told you that? yeah. it really is. >> i do my homework. >> i'm super pumped. look at this gang. rest of the cast is fantastic, too. >> i dreamed about you being on broadway. >> i think most of us have. >> that probably gave you lots of experience in your life. you got to get it right or roll with it if you don't.

>> exactly. roll with it if you don't. that's the big one. yeah. >> we get that here. >> it's like a dream come true. pinch me. >> oh, wow. on that note, let's play a little game. you have all agreed to it. play with me here. >> we had very little choice. you understand that. okay. [ laughter ] >> sam, thank you. you have paddles with your faces on them. >> oh, yeah. >> i'm going to say a fun fact and you have to say who i'm talking about. eric, we're going to start with you. try to guess which of your fellow thespians starred in a commercial for mcdonald's singing and dancing. >> you would think, but, no. this goes back 35 or 40 years. >> you know? >> i know this commercial. look it up on you tube.

it was jason alexander. >> there he is. [ applause ] >> the product didn't make it out of the bag. the mcblt. >> not a winner. okay. jason, your turn. this cast member is a whistler, intergenerational. >> i don't think it's eric. >> oh my gosh. do that again. that is a serious whistle. you guys are two for two. lily, this cast member does an impression of travel guru rick spedes like you have never seen. >> i'm going on a limb here and say -- >> alex, would you mind? >> oh, good lord. some friends and i wrote a sketch where an audio tour of rick leads you up a dark stair case into a loft where it's a birthday party.

he goes grab a hat and some cake this is bound to be one heck of a rickapalooza. [ laughter ] >> i love it. i love it. >> weird that it didn't make it on to television. >> we have like five seconds. quick and tricky. two cast members recently started podcasts. >> let's go with these two. >> you guys really know each other. that's the sign of a great show. congratulations on the podcast. so looking forward to "the cottage." performances start july 7th, everybody. so excited. great to have you all here. i know we forced you. >> it was a delight. thank you, darling. >> everybody, we're going to throw it to mr. sam champion. >> that was my favorite part of the morning. thank you. we've been talking about this blocking pattern that's kept the smoke on the eastern third of the country. it's been doing something else. i want to shout out to our friends in puerto rico. this has been a brutally hot week. dangerous heat, the entire week for puerto rico. it's going to continue into the weekend. it doesn't look much better next
