7:13 am
start his campaign. >> hello! south carolina! >> reporter: at a town hall event, desantis asked by voters how he's different from the front runner, donald trump? >> there are certain objective differentiators. i am eligible to serve two terms as your president. i think that's really important. >> reporter: then taking on the former president directly. >> i think everybody has to agree he did not drain the swamp. that's just the reality. the swamp got the best of him. >> reporter: trump continues to crush his rivals leading by as much as 30 points in the latest polling. >> do you think desantis can beat trump? >> i don't know. i think he should. he's smarter. he's more vibrant. trump's base, his loyalty is deep. >> reporter: some say such a crowded gop field could clear a path for trump to clinch the nomination again. one group is already laying the ground work to -- holding a campaign style event in new hampshire featuring joe manchin

8:19 am
it's a question for people like jackie. >> i have been conditioned to think that working out was better in the morning. >> reporter: she prefers to exercise later in the day, but she tried exercising in the morning for a week. and then in the afternoon to compare. >> good morning. today i'm doing another pilates workout. >> reporter: is a workout in the morning more beneficial than one in the afternoon? does it burn more calories? i'm curious and took a quantitative approach. >> what we're going to do today is measure your oxygen consumption while you're exercising. with that, we can all get an estimate of what fuels you're utilizing. carbohydrates versus fats. >> working with dr. matt lee from san francisco state university and using a map to capture my co2 output. that's the gold standard in measuring workout metrics. we examined data of similar stationary bike sessions. one performed in the morning and one in the afternoon to see if one burned more calories or fat than the other. morning workout done.
8:20 am
for jackie, after trying morning workouts, she still felt sluggish. but exercise later in the day -- >> i felt more energy. afternoons are definitely for me. >> reporter: as for me, i felt about the same for each workout. the data reflected that. were there any big differences? >> with caloric expenditure, no. it was almost exactly the same. we had 244 calories in the afternoon, 247 in the morning. >> reporter: okay. i did burn about 6% more fat in the morning workout compared to the afternoon, but dr. lee said that small of a variable will even out through the day and is not going to result in greater weight loss, if that's your goal. >> you may burn a little more fat in the morning just due to potentially being in a fasting state versus afternoon. but as far as caloric expenditure doesn't make that big a difference. >> reporter: for jackie, she's sticking to her afternoon workouts. >> i'm still on the routine to this day. i'm still working out in the
8:21 am
afternoons. it's been great. >> reporter: the big take away for me is that morning workouts are not a short cut to weight loss. if you're getting up extra early to workout, you may be sabotaging your health goals by sacrificing sleep. now, on the flip side, if you work out too late at night, that can screw up your sleep. so i think experiment for yourself and figure out what workout works out for you. robin, are you -- i'm assuming you're afternoon because of work, right? >> i'm not going to get up at 1 a.m. to work out. [ laughter ] it's good to know. >> i try to do it in the morning but sometimes you just got to get it in when you can. >> becky is like, could you stop talking so i can get off the bike.

"barbie."
8:31 am
deborah roberts sat down with the cast before the sag-aftra strike. she is back dressed appropriately for the story. good morning, deborah. [ laughter ] >> i couldn't help it. so many of us remember our first barbies. i got mine at age 9. she was such a treasure. but over the years, barbie became controversial, with criticism that she projected a narrow and impossible standard of beauty. but we also saw her multicareer woman representing several races and shade of beauty, sparking new conversation about the now 60-year-old doll. and that's what seemed to motivate this movie. >> hi, barbie. >> hi, barbie. >> hi, barbie. >> reporter: who would imagine that barbie would be at the center of summer's most anticipated movie? >> no one rests until this doll is back in a box! ♪ >> so much pink. so much pink. barbieland is where i caught up with the star studded cast.
8:32 am
>> we were in no danger of a water exit. >> look at that. >> i'm fine. >> like chris angel or something. >> i'm not a strong swimmer. >> reporter: margot robbie and ryan gossling star as barbie and ken, the iconic dolls who ruled the kid world for 60 years. >> can i come to your house today? >> sure. i don't have anything big planned. just a giant blowout party with all the barbies and planned choreography. you should stop by. >> so cool. >> reporter: people have complicated relationships to barbie. barbie is a global cultural icon. many people love her. some people not so much. how did you sort that out? >> i think that's part of what made this project exciting and part of the reason we wanted to make a barbie movie to begin with was, a, she's so well known. such a globally recognized name. but more than that, i was both scared of and excited by the idea that people were going to come into this movie already
8:33 am
feeling very strongly about the protaganist. >> when i watch my kids play with barbies, they're not brushing their hair an dressing them up. they all have names that aren't barbie. they all have very complicated back stories. it's very involved. >> reporter: barbie, with its vibrant colors, offers a big message, challenging stereotypes, all part of the vision for oscar nominated director greta gerwich. were you reluctant at all? >> i admire greta an margot so much, it was an opportunity to work with them was just too good. if i was reluctant, it was i doubted my kenergy. [ laughter ] but i had to trust that they, that they would guide me. >> reporter: there's a real
8:34 am
story here about men and women and your place and power. was that important to you in terms of making this movie? >> it's exactly why i wanted greta to do this movie. i think in other hands a barbie movie would remain surface level. i knew greta was going to have a lot to say and trojan horse a lot of big issues within a very fun world. >> reporter: there's a lot of talk in the world about the patriarch. that word is used a lot. in the film the supreme court is all women. there's a woman president. >> turn to the barbie next to you. tell her you love her. you can ask me any question you want. >> how come you're so amazeing? >> no comment. >> i love seeing the barbies. it's also a way to look at something through the eyes of ken where you can say, i see what they've done there. yeah. it's great when you're the accessory. >> reporter: with its campy humor, the film, budgeted at about $100 million, goes all out, while also reflecting the diversity mattel has
8:35 am
incorporated in its doll line in recent year. you play president barbie. what did you make of that and was it significant to you that this film was one that was all about inclusivity and not the classic stereotype, just the stereotype barbie. >> the only hesitation was just like, where do i fit in this particular barbie world? what will the barbie world look like. no one wants to be tokenized in that world. stepping onto that set, that was part of the beauty was that there was just so much representation, there was so much of everything. >> reporter: she joined on screen by kate mckinnon who plays weird barbie. >> getting to where like cooky outfits and cooky wigs and stuff on my face, that's where i feel most at home and like myself. so it was just perfect. oh my god. >> hi. i'm weird barbie.
8:36 am
i have a funky hair cut and smell like basement. >> reporter: but america has perhaps the most memorable scene as gloria, a mom, who reminds us of the struggle modern day women grapple with every day. >> mom, are you really gonna let barbie take you to an imaginary land? >> yes. do you want to know why? because i never get to do anything. >> reporter: i asked your co-stars this and i want to ask you this. fill in the blank. barbie is -- >> all of us. i just hope people love it. i think they will. i hope they feel good about themselves watching it. like, i don't know. i feel like there's some sort of relief in this movie, that the message is ultimately, you're good. you're good as you are. >> good as you are. it's pretty good, too. a really fun movie. spoiler alert. the real life barbie, the doll was named for, has a cameo in the film. another fun fact. there was so much pink used on the set in england for this film
8:37 am
that reportedly there was a shortage of that particular color world wide. "barbie" is in theaters nationwide this friday. wear your pink. get some pink, michael. >> all right. gonna follow your lead. appreciate that. looking forward to the movie. coming up daniel silva tells us about his new thriller "the collector." his new thriller "the collector."

out today. dan, welcome back. great to see you. tell us about the new book. >> this is the, believe it or not, the 23rd entry in my series featuring legendary art restorer an intelligence operative gabriel elan. in this novel he joins forces with a beautiful master thief to track down the world's most famous missing painting. along the way he uncovers a conspiracy that could bring the world to the brink of nuclear armageddon. >> that's all. right? [ laughter ] >> a fast paced entertaining, at times hilarious novel. part mystery, part global thriller. perfect book to take to the beach. it deals with one of the most important and dangerous issues facing the world right now, and that is the possibility that russia might use and might resort to nuclear weapons in ukraine. >> it also goes back to one of the most famous art heists of all time that gardner museum break-in back in 1990. >> correct.
8:41 am
i'm still annoyed about that. in 1990, two thieves broke into the garden museum in boston. they stole 13 works of art. at that point they were worth $200 million, largest art heist in history. today they would be off the charts. we don't even know how much they would be worth. one of those paintings is one of only 34 works by the concert. it was painted about the same time he painted girl with the pearl earring. in fact, if you watch the movie, you can see his studio is set up to paint it. this book imagines that the painting has current onto the illicit art market and that it is being used as part of an illicit deal for black market deal. >> as you mentioned this is your 23rd book with gabriel. how have you and he evolved over the years? >> when i first created him, he
8:42 am
was a morose, grieving character. i did not have any idea that he was supposed to be a continuing character. he was supposed to appear in one book and one book only. that's obviously not the way it turned out. gabriel that we encounter now later in his life is a much % to be around person. you know, he has made me a better writer. he has a great pair of eyes, a great voice, incredibly intelligent. he's just made me a better writer. >> i imagine one of the fun things about doing it, as well as you get to in some ways live or experience a life you envy. >> as i like to say to my wife, i spend much more time each day in his world than i do in this world. his world looks a lot like that. he lives in venice now in a beautiful palazzo overlooking the grand canal, working full
8:43 am
time as an art restorer in venice. he has a very interesting and great life. it's a lot of fun to walk in his shoes every day. >> and we'll see him again? >> definitely, definitely. i have already started work on the new book. the only way that i can put the old book out of my head is to start working on a new book. so generally, the day or two after i finish a book i start working on a new one. >> when everyone is enjoying the one that's out. "the collector" is out today. thanks for coming in. we'll go to ginger. >> one of my favorite summer spots anywhere across the country. i grew up here, so it's helpful to see that. they're not baking, no. very cool and comfortable around the great lakes. about ten degrees cooler than average for a high temperature today in chicago. so all the way back through minneapolis, parts of iowa, you are certainly not seeing that excessive heat. the dome is stuck farther
8:44 am
drew: i'm drew tuma with your accuweather forecast. cooling trend continuing today, temperatures are a few degrees below average for this time of year. another spike in the heat i the end do you know what? we're headed to the heart of country music with an inside look at this year's 50th annual cma fest down in nashville. jaclyn lee got to sit down with some of aur favorite artists ahead of the big event. was it fun? >> robin, i had the time of my life at cma fest. we had so much access to go behind the scenes at such an iconic festival to see how the sauce is made, what it means for country music, to the artist, to nashville. it was something special. take a look. ♪ cma fest is the party of the summer. ♪ >> there's nothing like cma. it feels like it's a massive family out there. >> i'm so fired up.

8:46 am
what? this could work? >> because i felt like we have the greatest artists in the world. i thought if people could see what this is, this is the party that they would like to come to. ♪ >> for us to get to be here on this big stage i think is just beyond whatever i had in mind when i was a kid. >> i think playing here is also special because this shares the same parking lot of the juvenile detention that i was locked up as a child. i remember watching football games out of my cell in b pod. >> full circle? >> you talking about a full circle moment. >> i'm playing with vince gill tonight, my ultimate hero. my first concert when i was 6 years old. this is crazy. ♪ >> and i would like to point out luke combs did offer to let me open for his show in europe. i said, no one wants to hear me sing. but you heard it first. he said i could do some comedy. robin, in case i have another career happening. i don't know. >> in case you go missing, we know where you are.
8:47 am
