u.s. coast guard. but subsequent searches coming up empty as the clock winds down. the vessel, which left sunday morning on a mission to explore the titanic's wreckage starting with 96 hours of oxygen available. now less than 24 hours left. >> our crews are working around the clock to ensure that we are doing everything possible to locate the titan and the five crew members. >> reporter: the u.s., canada and france teaming up to search for any sign of the submersible, scouring more than 10,000 miles of sea. air force aircrafts flying in from buffalo, new york, and the navy sending a portable listening device. >> getting this equipment on scene is a top priority. there is a full court press effort to get equipment on scene as quickly as we can. >> reporter: these tos to some of the last taken of the group sunday morning before it entered the water. it was last heard from 1:45 into its mission.

ocean gate not sounding the alarm for another several hours. the coast guard saying they they then activated rescue crews immediately. all five people inside the sub now identified. british explore hamish harden, a business man and his 19-year-old son sulemon, world renown titanic and diver and stockton rush. the ceo of ocean gate. he showed off the features in a cbs sunday interview six months ago. >> i got these from camper world. we run the whole thing with this control. the pressure vessel is not guided at all. that's what we worked with with nasa and the university of washington. everything else can fail but your thrusters can go, your lights can go, you're still going to be safe. >> reporter: university of washington telling abc news they were not involved in the design, engineering or testing of the titan. nasa said they were consulted but did not conduct testing via its work force or facilities. questions now growing about

ocean gate's safety features. in a 2018 counterclaim lawsuit a former employee claims he was fired after warning about the sub's lack of physical scaivty scans. the company sued him for breach of contract and allegedly sharing company secrets. the case was settled out of court. in a 2018 letter obtained by the new york times and authenticated by abc news, members of a committee specializing in submersibles expressed unanimous concern about the sub's safety. >> this is an expeditionary more experimental craft. it is high risk. we just want people to have knowing consent with what they're doing and understand the full expectation of what's to be expected. lives are at stake. >> reporter: members of the did make some changes after their letter. former passenger aaron newman who traveled on the submersible in 2021 insisting he felt safe at all times but describing the challenges the passengers face even if they make it back to the surface.

>> they can't get out of the craft. the craft has to be opened from the outside. so we're just really hoping they're on the top, bopping around, laying there just relaxing and trying to conserve energy and oxygen. >> are we stuck or what? >> reporter: former abc news correspondent dr. michael guillen knows how dangerous the voyage to the titanic can be. in 2000 an under water current drove his sub right into the propeller of the titanic. >> it was scary. i am fully aware of this experience. i am just heart broken about it. >> reporter: and the timing is critical because, again, even if that sub did rise to the surface and they are just waiting to be rescued, that sub is bolted shut from the outside so they need to be found because they are running out of oxygen. they are essentially trapped, michael. >> time is essential there.

gio, thank you very much for that. we are speaking with the man who was scheduled to be on board that sub but pulled out due to safety concerns. that's coming up in our next half hour. george? now to the fallout from hunter biden's plea deal with federal prosecutors on tax violations and a gun charge. president's son is likely to avoid jail time. legal experts say that's common in cases like this. republicans are blasting the agreement. pierre thomas has details. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning. as we wait to see if a judge will approve this deal, a fierce debate has ignited in this town. did the president's son get harsher prosecution than the average person would or did he get preferential treatment? after five years of investigations, the justice department now cutting a deal with hunter biden. the son of the president of the united states. biden pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of tax violations, acknowledging he illegally possessed a gun while addicted to crack cocaine. the deal, if approved by a

federal judge, makes clear that previous statements like these were untrue. >> i am 100% certain that at the end of the investigation, that i will be cleared. >> my son's done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him. >> reporter: now hunter biden, through his attorney, is acknowledging that that dark place of addiction led to a series of things done wrong. hunter's attorney releasing a statement. i know hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he's made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. he looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward. the dark place according to prosecutors led biden not to pay more than $200,000 in taxes over two years in 2017 and 2018. and to illegally purchase a gun when he knew he was an addict. federal law prevents people who use or are addicted to controlled substances from purchasing firearms. he's now admits he did not pay $100,000 in taxes for each of two years, money he has since

paid back. as part of the plea deal, he will likely avoid jail time. prosecutors expected to instead recommend probation with conditions likely calling him to remain drug free for two years and banning him from ever owning a gun again. republicans have long sought to make hunter biden's troubles and financial dealings, including those in ukraine and china a political middle stone for his father. word of hunter biden's deal set off a political fire storm, with republicans claiming he got preferential treatment. >> if he wasn't the president's son -- >> reporter: presidential candidate ron desantis saying, if hunter was not connected to the elite dc class, he would have been put in jail a long time ago. former president trump, himself facing federal trial, accused the justice department of whitewashing biden's troubles and giving him only a traffic ticket. but the justice department says this was all done by the book

with attorney general merritt garland placing a trump appointed u.s. attorney who has already been investigating hunter biden. for his part the president still standing in support of his son. the top appointed u.s. attorney who oversaw the investigation has sent a letter to congress saying doj gave him free reign to handle the case and makes all decisions. that's unlikely to make a difference to many congressional republicans. george? >> as you said a trump appointee. okay, pierre. thank you very much. let's bring in mary bruce, our chief legal analyst dan abrams. mary, let me begin with you. boy, this case has been a source of political and personal party. >> it really has, george. the white house is eager to move past it. they have been trying to distance themselves from all of this, stressing that the president has never discussed this investigation with the attorney general. but you're absolutely right. there's no question that this is

painful for the president, personally and politically. he is a devoted father who has stood by his son throughout his struggles with addiction, throughout this investigation, adamant that hunter did absolutely nothing wrong. but it is clear, republicans are not gonna drop this. despite the fact that there's nothing in this argument to s substant kwraeut their concerns after five years of investigating. they are not bringing any charges linked to hunter biden's overseas business dealings. but on the hill, republicans say he got off easy and they are vowing to keep up their investigations. out on the campaign trail, republicans still see this as a political opportunity, george. >> okay, mary. dan, not surprising this is a political football in the middle of an election year. seems like every year is an election year. given this set of facts what difference did it make that the subject was hunter biden? >> i think it made an enormous difference here. look, any time someone gets probation or a diversionary agreement, you could argue it's a sweetheart deal. it's true. they aren't getting any prison time. yet if this wasn't hunter biden,

it is likely he wouldn't have been prosecuted at all. meaning on the tax charges, typically to get prison time for a tax charge you need to have either have a criminal history or making big efforts to hide the money. here the irs went to him and said, you owe this amount of money. people get notices from the irs that they owe money. if they pay it back typically the person isn't charged. here he was charged. okay. there was wrongdoing. on the gun issue, typically that is not something that gets charged alone. almost never does that particular charge about lying -- >> there are thousands of cases a year. >> thousands would get prosecuted if that was the charge. but with that said, it does seem the facts support a guilty plea on these charges. but if he wasn't hunter biden, you have to believe there wouldn't have been a prosecution. >> what do you make of all the noise on capitol hill? >> look, it's hard to reconcile with the facts here. this idea of two tiered system of justice. one of the things they're arguing is the big potential crime wasn't even prosecuted.

it does seem he did investigate these issues about foreign dealings, etc. we'll see what congress turns up. if they turn something up that could be a -- >> it's been a five year investigation by a trump appointed u.s. attorney. >> that's the critical point. david white sent a note to jim jordan assuring him that he has been given total autonomy to make these decisions. it seems this was his decision, not the decision of the department of justice and merritt garland. i think that's a critical distinction. >> dan abrams, thank you very much. >> thank you both. dangerous heat across the south. texas residents are now being asked to conserve power and triple -- amid triple digit temperatures. janai norman is in san antonio for us. good morning, janai. >> reporter: robin, good morning. it is the kind of heat you feel as soon as you step outside. university hospital has been responding to heat related temperatures. it is sweltering. temperature reaching a daily high of 105 degrees. the second day of record

we now know there are two investigations into contracts linked to next year's olympic games. french police raiding the offices of the organizing committee and the public company overseeing construction projects for the games. investigators considering possible misuse of public funds, conflict of interest and favoritism in awarding contract. france's anti-corruption agency involved paris 2024 saying it's actively cooperating with investigators, adding it has adopted, quote, stringent procedures. the international olympic committee aware of events in the french capital. this morning french anti-corruption campaign is calling for a speedy investigation to ensure transparency before the games begin. early this year the total cost of the paris games had risen from $7 billion to $10 billion. most tickets to the games already sold. we'll be here when the olympics kick off on july 26th next year. the paralympics shortly after on august 28.

he'll share his thoughts ahead of the nba draft. >> we are looking so forward to that. we have much more on the search for the missing submersible. we're speaking with the man scheduled to be on board but pulled out due to safety concerns. first back to sam champion. >> ooh, that story. all right. we'll have more weather coming up in the next half hour. here's what you can expect this morning. drew: we will have temperatures

people on the sub. we've got lives at risk. the news this morning about them picking up sounds is good and bad news. in an ideal world, we'd have seen the sub had come to the surface and was bobbing around, just undetected. if the sounds are coming from below the water, that indicates they may be alive under water. now we've got time pressure in getting them to the surface. >> time is of the essence. you were one of the first people to sign up for this titanic tour mission. what initially drew you to join? >> well, being a modern day adventurer interested in pushing the boundaries of our knowledge of places that people go, hamish and myself are both on the program to go up into space. hamish actually went into space about a year ago with blue origin.

the titanic, obviously, has been an iconic wreck. the ocean gate had put forward this program to go down and do a 3-d scan of the wreck with a view to then being able to see how it's decaying so that the wreck could be preserved. the mission specialists could be in charged of scanning or communications with the surface. it's the chance for an expedition, exploration and adding science into the situation. >> prior to signing up for the trip, what did you know about ocean gate expeditions? >> prior to myself signing up, very little. it was one of these situations where a couple guys who knew a lot more about the titanic. one guy was into -- shipping was his business. brought it to my attention. i thought, that sounds like a great idea. >> you said safety issues

ultimately led you to pull out of the trip. what were some safety concerns that you had? >> they did. i'm not really sure this is the time to be going into that sort of thing. i think the focus right now has to be on trying to rescue these people. it's not fair on the families and friends to be making speculation about what might have happened or how it happened at this point. >> we can definitely understand that. do you feel any apprehension about joining similar projects in the future? as you said, you are a modern day adventurist. >> no. what you tend to do, some people physically write it down. you think about all the risks that might be involved in whatever exploration adventure you could be going on. then you try, you see if you don't have an appetite for those risks, you might not go ahead. you may try and mitigate those by bringing in some expertise from outside.

you might have the risks or dangers that could be mitigated by changing the time when you go there. i became the first person to get to a place in africa, very dangerous situation. by choosing the right people to work with, timings, the equipment, we make it all work. that's what you tend to do as an adventurer. what we tend as a group not take into account very well is the effect on our friends and family. i know that from talking to my own family. we fully understand the risks that we are taking on board, but they haven't been so involved with process. they tend to be kind of left a little bit in the dark. then they're worried. then you get a situation like this and it's just probably as if the bottom has dropped out from their world and really do feel for them.

>> we do as well. lot of worry on the part of those families. as we said earlier, our thoughts are with those families and those on board. chris brown, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you. welcome. >> robin? >> all right, michael. coming up later, the new recommendations about screening adults for anxiety. coming up next, he's a big man about to make a big splash in tomorrow's nba draft. you're gonna meet him when we come back here on gma. will meem when we come back here on gma.

>> reporter: who can especially relate to the buzz around victor's journey to the nba. what they say about you, it's not just your game, it's your work ethic. how do you do with the pressure that goes along with the anticipation? >> the most important thing is to have your goal in sight. i have such high expectations for myself, and i'm so disciplined that the expectations of others are nothing compared to what i bring on myself. >> reporter: a strict routine on and off the court for victor, who has led his team to the finals of the top tier french pro basketball league. his pregame warm-ups crucial to avoid injury. your athletic trainers, the way they get you prepped. something that i read about you take off your shoes and socks and you crawl? >> keeping your feet healthy is important. it gives the feet stronger. if your feet are strong you can then get better on every other aspect of your body. >> there have been some who look at you and go, are you ready? day in, day out, grueling nba schedule?

>> they can think that. they don't know my work ethic. i know how i work, how we work, my surroundings, my environment. i could never have any doubt. >> so when someone says bulk up? >> why? what for? >> as athletes themselves, victor's parent, both proud and protective of their son. his mom, a former basketball player and little league coach. his dad, a former competitive long jumper. >> the thing is they didn't really interfere with my sport. they let me be how i wanted to be. they made a lot of sacrifices. on the other hand, they are going to be able to retire early soon.

>> he's very humble, but very confident young man. he talked about his parents being proud and protective. he left home at the age of 14. he's 19 now. he left home at the age of 14 to train. he has been training for this moment. >> he's an old soul. he comes off a lot older than 19. >> when i said that to him, he said i haven't the first one to say that to him. he's very intentional. he's not on this. he reads. he is into his artwork. he's very intentional young man. but the thing also, back in the day, if you had a big player outside of the paint, the coach would yank you out of the game. but because he watched pete merevich videos, he handles the ball like a guard. you heard lebron james, the way he referred to him. >> saw that left hand finger roll. that's pretty good. is it a slam dunk that he will be the first overall pick and go to the spurs?

we now wait to see if a judge will approve this deal which has sparked an epic political debate here in washington. after five years of investigation, the justice department now cutting a deal with hunter biden, the son of the president of the united states. biden pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of tax violations, acknowledging he illegally possessed a gun while he was addicted to crack cocaine. the deal, if approved by a federal judge, makes clear the statements he made were untrue. >> i am absolutely certain, 100% certain, that at the end of the investigation, that i will be cleared. >> reporter: but now hunter biden, through his attorney, is acknowledging that dark place of addiction led to a series of things done wrong. hunter's attorney releasing a statement. i know hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. the dark place, according to prosecutors, led biden not to

pay more than $200,000 in taxes over two year, in 2017 and 2018. and to illegally purchase a gun when he knew he was an addict. he now admits he did not pay $100,000 in taxes for each of two year, money he has since paid back. as part of the plea deal, he will likely avoid jail time. prosecutors expected to instead recommend probation with conditions, likely calling him to remain drug-free for two years and banning him from ever owning a gun again. republicans on capitol hill and running for president say this deal is a sham designed to protect president biden. despite the fact that the the lead prosecutor was appointed by president trump. robin? >> all right, pierre. thanks to you. going to turn to the new dna details this morning in the idaho murder case. eva pilgrim has that for us. >> reporter: new file thering the case against bryan kohberger confirms a swab taken from his cheek is a match where four idaho students were murdered.

initially made to help control diabetes, ozempic and wegovy have sky rocketed in use because they have proven to treat obesity. but the makers of the drug have asked courts to stop companies from selling a compounded version of the drug that they say is not fda approved. ♪ oh oh oh, ozempic ♪ >> reporter: they're the drugs millions are taking. people like tina shaw. >> i have literally lost and gained a ton of weight over the years. >> reporter: she says she first heard about wegovy at a wellness spa. this morning the maker of the drugs of ozempic and wegovy filing lawsuits against wellness spas and clinics who they say are using false advertising, infringing on their trademark and unlawfully selling nonfda approved compounded products that claim to contain semaglutide. saying they cannot validate the safety of products claiming to contain semaglutide that are not

one of our own branded products. overnight the company telling abc news we are preparing to file legal actions against compounding pharmacies that are engaging in this unlawful sale of products claiming to include semaglutide. at the heart of the issue, pharmacies and clinics that, instead of buying from the company, compile these drugs from individual ingredients, a practice called compounding. then allegedly claiming the medications have semaglutide as an active ingredient. >> so if a patient elects to use a compounded form of the medication, we cannot guarantee what's actually in that drug. >> reporter: the fda says while these drugs were eligible for compounding because of initial shortages, they recently stated compounded drugs pose a higher risk to patients than fda approved drugs because compounded drugs do not under go fda market review of safety, effectiveness or quality. the other issue, price.

for tina shaw, whose insurance doesn't cover the more than $16,000 annual out of pocket cost for wegovy, her only option was to use a compounding pharmacy which sells the drug for just $300 a month. this issue is critical for the future of weight loss treatment. are compounded versions of these drugs safe? who will be able to afford the drugs if the full retail price of $16,000 a year is the only option? and should insurance and medicare be covering the cost of these drugs that are proving so effective for weight loss? robin? >> you have, dr. jen with me nodding along to what you are saying there, becky. thank you, as all. we do have a gma health alert. a new recommendation about adults and anxiety from the u.s. preventive services task force. abc news chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is going to tell us about it. what's the guidelines? >> this group of experts recommending now that all adults ages 18-64 be screened for

anxiety. let me back up and give you big picture view. for a screening test to be considered eligible for a screening test it needs to meet three criteria. the disorder needs to be common, estimated 1 in 4 adults are diagnosed with anxiety over their life time. check the box on that. the screening test needs to be cheap and effective. this is. checks the box on that. and most importantly there needs to be an intervention or treatment that can save lives or improve the quality of life. check the box on this one. there's evidence to support the benefits, very little risk. that's why it got the nod. >> what are the signs we should be looking for? >> i think this is critically important. because so many times people can brush off these signs and symptoms as, i might be stressed or it's, quote unquote, all in my head. anxious thoughts, beliefs or dread, weakness, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, gi effect, nausea and dizziness. these can be very scary.

we have to think anxiety first. anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms can co-exist and overlap. >> so what do you do? >> talk talk talk about it. the onus of responsibility is on the medical profession. we need to ask about mental health and connect the dots between our mental health and physical health. as i say, do a checkup from the neck up. if you are experiencing these, do not have any hesitation to bring it up at your next visit or talk to a health care provider. >> anxiety and stress. we don't talk about it enough. >> no. it's real. it's really hard to keep a healthy physical body if you don't have a healthy mental state. >> we'll see you on gma3. >> you bet. day 2 of our series race to retire. many are re-evaluating what their future looks like. people who have achieved financial freedom are sharing their tips. eva pilgrim is back with one woman who went from being in debt to retiring in five years.

fully funded my retirement vehicles. i got my nest egg to a point that is going to grow over the next 30 years to what i need at traditional retirement if i don't contribute one more dollar. maybe after five or ten years of doing this where you're saving 30%, 40% of your pay towards retirement, you can actually stop and allow the compounding that's going to happen naturally with that portfolio do the rest of the work. >> reporter: now living in cincinnati, diana works just four hours a week to cover her basic needs. >> i think retirement is wildly misunderstood. retirement is not about not working. it's about separating your finances from your work. >> reporter: diana also says it's important to find your own path. each of us has a unique set of circumstance, preferences and skills that we can leverage to reduce our expenses and increase our income. that's good to think about

whether or not you're trying to retire early. >> this is something even it takes a lot of work. it's a real lifestyle choice. for those who don't have the 401k options, how can they increase their savings? >> okay. i'm not an expert but i did ask an expert. i am told we should be maxing out our ira contribution each year. for free lancers and those self-employed, you can do a step ira which has a higher contribution limit and/or sometimes both a 401k which allows you to contribute as both employer, since you are technically your own boss, and the employee. the key here is looking at your situation, figuring out what you can do to max phaoeusz every dollar so your money works for you. that can be, even if you're not making what you think is a lot of money, every dollar can work. >> when you said i'm not an expert, i thought you were gonna say, but i did stay at a holiday inn.

>> so 25 years after "sex and the city" arrived, what questions of the 50-year-old and their new friend exploring about life, career, sex and what really makes you happy. what's the biggest question in your 50s? >> for carrie, it was a momentous moment in her life and how to be single again. >> oh, honey. >> maybe when you're in your 50s, time to take a look at the biggest mystery in everyone's life. the most exciting challenging significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. >> yes. my father just passed and my mother, she's alone for the first time in her entire life. and you cannot be prepared. loss is unique. grief is unique. loneliness is unique. independence is unique. we've all said, come with me,

come live with me. she finally had the courage to say to me, i have never lived alone, i have never had to not think about somebody else's meal or do laundry or wag my finger at somebody, or fight over what to watch on television. so thank you, but i really like to live alone. >> we're walking downtown, she takes us to her favorite place. a beautiful jefferson market library. >> good morning. thank you for having us. >> here in the garden because she says library saved her as a little girl. >> i love our libraries. i grew up. i don't know about you. i grew up counting on the library. i always say it was where you wanted to be in the summer because they had air conditioning and where you were warm in the winter and in between was a librarian that always directed you down the right aisle, toward the right book.

in a world that was previously unknown. >> today the sjp empire, shoes, wines, perfumes, even has its own book imprint. her first "a quitter's paradise." a new tv series that's a treasure hunt for readers rbg she's always surrounded by books she loves. somebody wrote that you made the library card the hottest new fashion accessory. >> that would be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. >> another treasure hunt in the new season, favorite faces coming back. kim cattrall is coming back for a scene. >> yes, she is. >> you are executive producer, so you were part of the decision making. >> yes, definitely. i think a really nice idea to celebrate our 25th anniversary to have this surprise appearance. we're all disappointed that it leaked. i feared it would because it's kind of -- it was like a kernel on hot oil, you know? like we forgot to turn the flame off or something. at least the content of it is still, thus far, a secret.

>> aiden? >> i love you, carrie. >> aiden has such specific demands in the past. carrie was always struggling with trying to live up to those and always falling short. it would be a really interesting reunion. >> ten years. >> even some of carrie's quirky old clothes will make subtle reappearances in the new season, reminding us life is a tapestry of when you were a triumph and when you fell flat on your face. >> maybe our mistakes are what make us. without them, what would shape our lives? per happens if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, have babies or be who we are. your life is in some ways more interesting on the scaffolding of our mistakes. >> i think so. do you think so? >> i think so.

fortunately, i have a huge scaffold. >> you don't. i think success is, feels better, right? but the things that were painful, the things that were disappointing, the things that i did wrong. i always say it's like scar tissue. >> the life would be less funny without the stories we tell about our mistakes. nobody wants to hear the story of your grand success. [ laughter ] i want to hear yours. 58-year-old woman wondering, like all of us, what the next question will be. will there be sex and the city in your 70s? can you do it just like that sex and the city when everybody is in their 70s? are you golden girls? >> do you know how young the golden girls were? they were younger than i am right now. yet they were living in a retirement community.

[ laughter ] which i haven't really started looking at yet. i think we could. i think anybody could. anybody can do whatever they want. >> reminding us what she was thinking 25 years ago. never give up on the chance of a miracle buried inside the chapter yet to come. >> as for love, well, anything is possible. the future is unwritten. >> what a great conversation to have. >> we are all talking about that. cannot get enough. so excited. >> i was a fan of aiden. big was great. aiden. >> aiden should have been the choice. there, i said it. [ laughter ] >> sam. time to take it back. >> no. >> let's tell everybody what's coming up. >> we get to do that now? >> coming up our book pick for june.

time for cybersecurity. that's why the google tools they use every day are secure by default. you built it, we'll help you defend it!

beco beautiful wednesday morning in times square we have our gma book club pick for june. >> beautiful wednesday morning. we have our book pick for june, ink, blood sister scribe. >> i think a summer read should be a barn burning page turner. so the magic, romance, intrigue of our gma book selection for june did all of that and more. they're the key to unlocking new worlds filled of adventure, mystery and love. but what if books turned deadly?

that's the premise of emma torzs novel ink blood sister scribe. an epic tale that takes readers on a spell binding trip across the globe testing family and friendship. >> books are magical to me. as the kid they were the most magical. i truly thought one day i would pull an old book off the shelf and a dragon would leap out, i would get on its back and away we would go. >> reporter: i sat down with emma deep in the stacks of a bookstore in new york city to talk about her breakout novel. it centers around two estranged half sisters, esther and joanna on a quest to protect their family's collection of magical books.

>> after their father died, after reading one of his own magical volumes, they must come back together to uncover the mystery. >> reporter: you created a made up world in here. >> yeah. >> reporter: how long has that lived in you or did it just come out spontaneously? >> i think many pieces of it have lived in me for a long time. i have played with a lot of tropes. the chosen one, magical animals. yes, it's what i have needed for a long time. feels new to me. >> this was our book selection for pride month. i think this book is such a neat representation because the issues are small here. they're not really issues. just normal character. what does that mean to you to be in that space of repping lgbtqia issues? >> i live a very clear centric

life. it never occurred to me to have only straight people in my life. if there was going to be romance, it would probably be a little queer romance. it was just an outgrowth of my community and how i live my life. >> reporter: part of the magic of this novel is how quickly readers will fly through it. i struggle with attention span because i turn to my phone. this book had me 100% in just ripping through it. not even thinking about a screen. that is a gift these days. >> that's like the nicest reaction i could possibly imagine. >> reporter: lot of time books for young readers the discovery of the magic and the coming of age happen at the same time. i really wanted to write a book where adults have lived with magic all their lives and are reckoning with what it means to have magic as a grown-up person. sort of like what happens beyond the end of these books that we loved as kids.

>> my brain just feels better after i finish a really absorbing novel. this was one of those. the book is available now. so much fun. keep reading with us on gma's book club instagram page. summer reads. >> is there anything more delicious? >> we were just talking about it. something great about a summer read. speaking of summer reads. sam, countdown is on. >> robin, we can't do summer without two things. one is flip flops. the other is popsicles. it officially starts at 10:58 this morning on the east coast. it's difficult to find. there's some big heat in texas. we have cool temperatures in a lot of places. say good morning to st. thomas. i want to show you the tropics. here's tropical storm brett. as brett moves down, that 80% chance maybe an atlantic storm here. by the time we get to friday, we've got brett about 60 mile per hour storm. staying a tropical storm for the entire duration, falling apart south of jamaica. good news is it's not too much trouble for just about anybody

but keep an eye on it. best local weather in the business from our abc station. drew: i am abc7news meteorologist drew tuma. summer arrives this morning and we will have sunshine and temperatures in the 60's and 70's with breeze this afternoon. cloudy and c c way ♪ ♪ good morning america ♪ >> now to our pride month series, gma out loud. this morning we're taking a closer look at transgender youth and sport and the legislative fight they face. good morning, juju. >> good morning. some lawmakers say this is about fairness and common sense but critics say these laws hurt the most vulnerable. caught inside this raging debate are a young number of trans people who say they just want to play sports without being singled out.

16-year-old rebecca is finishing up her sophomore year of high school. straight a student loves reading, writing, musical theater and playing on her school's field hockey team. >> it's fun. you get to hit a ball with a stick. who doesn't love that? especially on the field, we're just playing towards a common goal. we're working together, communicating. >> reporter: in april the house of representatives passed a bill that would have prevented kids like rebecca from playing sports because she's transgender. when did you first get an inkling of what you were designated and you were not? >> when i was born i knew i was a girl. when i went out into the world as rebecca, there was this burst of joy. i found field hockey after i transitioned. it was just joyful. >> reporter: while federal legislation is unlikely to move forward in this administration there are currently 22 states that already have laws on the books banning trans kids from school sports.

the conservative legal group, the alliance defending freedom telling abc news they're encouraged by these laws being passed. they want girls to compete on a level playing field. >> the primary thing people get wrong about trans kids playing sports is that they believe trapbs kids are a threat and they are not. >> reporter: skyler baylor the first openly transgender athlete to play on an ncaa division i men's team says these policies harm trans kids who are already vastly under represented in k-12 sports. >> when there are inclusive sport policies, participation for girls increases. that encourages everybody to be able to play and be themselves. not just trans people. >> reporter: rebecca, who's been speaking out since she was 10 years old, said her teammates have her back. what was your reaction as you saw these laws one by one being enacted? >> it's awful. legislators are bullying kids. that's really it.

>> i think there's a big disconnect between what we are seeing in state houses and what we are hearing from legislators and what we see in real life. all transgender kids play sports for the same reasons all kids play sports. to do something they love. to have fun with their friends and to be part of a team. when i step on that field, nothing else is happening. it's powerful to have that type in the day to think about a game, to have fun. taking that away from trans kids would be devastating. skyler baylor told us there was one kid in utah playing girls sports, a trans kid. in kentucky there was one. oklahoma, zero. critics argue this is a lot of legislative fire power to put at an issue that so many trans kids that i talk to, like rebecca, say is deeply hurtful. >> juju, thank you for that. coming up, guga is cooking up some great barbecue to celebrate the first day of summer. nice steak. up guga cooking up great to celebrate

>> yeah! >> you do the searing at the end? >> once it's done cooking indirect heat once it reaches 135, then we go for searing on the cast iron. >> all four sides. you do the edges as well? >> exactly. we got to sea everything. >> tell me about the butter? is it a lot? >> more butter more better. [ laughter ] don't be shy with the butter. you got to add butter. >> i'm in. >> let me just jot that down. >> we want to baste it. we got to melt off the butter a little bit. >> lots of garlic. >> i already have this one here to go. here's the deal. compound butter. compound butter makes your steak way better. whatever it is. i have all the ingredients. roasted garlic, rosemary and seasoning. that is delicious. steak ready to go. >> butter in the pan then butter on top? >> absolutely. >> holy moly. >> more butter more better. can we talk quickly about your
