good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. a third indictment of donald trump appears all but certain. the big question is when. sources say it really could come any day now. we have learned at least one witness will appear before the grand jury today. this is former aide will russell. he has testified before the grand jury before. as for the former president, he received that target letter days ago, letting him know that he was the center of this investigation in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. he was also given a deadline, until today torque decide if he will appear before the grand jury. sources tell us that is not expected to happen. we know the former president has been scrambling to beef up his legal defense team. overnight we learned he has added one additional attorney who we are told will focus solely on this investigation. trump continues to deny wrongdoing and for now republicans continue to rush to his defense. one of his biggest rival, florida governor ron desantis, even signaled he is open to a possible pardon of the president if it came to that.

bottom line, none of this prevents the former president to continue his run for president. in fact, the lines are becoming more and more blurred with his legal defense now becoming a central part of his campaign message. >> that is, okay, rachel. thank you very much. michael? >> thank you, george. to the dangerous storms on the move across the country. and the cleanup in north carolina this morning after a monster tornado touched down outside of raleigh. trevor ault is on the ground with the latest. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. i mean, look at all this debris strewn about this morning. we've got the remnants of p of the structure, we have a ceiling fan about 100 feet from the inside of the house. you can see how it got out here. the top floor of this home was just ripped away. while it is a miracle that so far nobody's been reported killed, more than a dozen people were hurt by this tornado. >> oh my god, dude! >> reporter: this morning, cleanup after a massive tornado wreaked havoc in north carolina. >> is it coming this way?

sources say this could come any day now. we are learning that one witness will appear before the grand jury today. this is trump's former aide, will russell. he has testified before the grand jury before. as for the former president, he received that target letter days ago, letting him know he's the center of this investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. he was also given a deadline of today to decide if he will appear before the grand jury. sources tell us that is not expected to happen. we know the former president has been scrambling to put together his own legal defense team. overnight we learned that he did add one additional attorney, john monroe, to that team, who will be solely focused on the investigation. the former president continues to deny any wrongdoing, continuing his third bid for the white house. for the most part, republicans still rushing to his defense. >> thanks. michael? now to the lawsuit over a chicken mcnugget. a florida family claims their daughter suffered second degree burns. now the jury decided how much money the family will get.

>> reporter: good morning, michael. this lawsuit stemmed from a trip to the drive-through in august 2019. selana holmes said she ordered a 6 piece chicken mcnugget meal for her daughter. she dropped a mcnugget on her lap, which got stuck between her thigh and a seat belt, resulting in second degree burns. the family's lawyer said the nugget left her disfigured and scarred. thgirl's parents claim the fast food chain failed to warn customers of the hot food and cooked the food at a higher temperature than was necessary. lawyers for mcdonald's argued the nugget should not have been more than 160 degrees and not held on to the skin obviously. so in may, a separate jury found some fault with both mcdonald's and the franchisee. just yesterday, salana and her daughter were back in the courtroom as the jury came back with a verdict after deliberating for two hours. they awarded the family $800,000 for the pain and suffering.

salana said she's happy they listened to olivia's voice and the jury was able to decide a fair judgment. guys? >> we're just happy that she's healed. robin? okay. to the women's world cup, officially under way. the american women are going for the three peat. maggie rulli is in a place my team and i truly enjoyed earlier this year, auckland, new zealand. good morning, maggie. >> reporter: hey, robin. good morning. you were here earlier. we are here in a winter storm. nothing can damper the spirit of the women's world cup. the opening ceremonies wrapped up a couple hours ago, kicking off a world cup that promises to be nothing like we have seen before. 30 teams are participating. those are the first time two host countries, new zealand and australia already appearing in their first games and the country's first, new zealand taking home a win in the world cup, giving us world cup fever down under.

all eyes remain on team usa. they're the favorites to win this year. they're looking not just to defend their title, they're looking for a three peat, something no team has ever been able to do before. we caught up with some of the players, asked them about the extra pressure. they say they're not looking to defend a title. they're looking to attack the world cup. we caught up with them when they were training. you could feel that confidence rippling off the field. it's something everyone will witness during their first game versus vietnam tomorrow night. guys? >> maggie, you're going to have a great time. this is a great way to come off your maternity leave, to be there in new zealand. >> reporter: it is. >> welcome back to maggie. coming up, maria menounos welcomed a new baby. should you brush your teeth before or after your coffee in the morning or both? it's part of our science of you series.

♪ ♪ gma cover story. maria menounos is welcoming a baby after a ten year journey. she struggled with infertility and cancer. >> reporter: that's right. it's taken ten years, but she refused to give up. and now maria's dreams of becoming a mother have finally come true. this morning she's opening up about her miracle baby. it's been a journey ten years in the making for marie tpha menounos to finally hold her baby in her arms after years of infertility heartbreak. menounos speaking about the moment she welcomed her daughter via surrogacy into the world last month saying, the doctor literally grabbed her and hiked her on to me. i sat with her on my chest and kevin and i kept looking at each other like, oh my god. it was just pure joy. >> she has struggled with infertility for a long time. she's been so open about it.

so part of this was really bringing everybody into her journey and to disspell any misconceptions about surrogacy. and any fears that might be, that might come with it. >> reporter: in 2017, menounos had to stop her ivf treatments due to a brain tumor diagnosis. after her tumor was successfully removed her neurosurgeon advised her against carrying a child. menounos finally able to share that she and her husband were expecting a baby via surrogate while appearing on kelly and ryan in february. >> our surrogate and her family, i'm so grateful that we are going to have this extended family that our baby will be part of. surrogacy is not always an easy decision. it tends to sometimes be a lengthy process. but extremely rewarding experience at the end is great for intended parents and also for the surrogate. this story is only going to empower more women to have these discussions.

>> reporter: menounos saying she wants even more kids. i want 50 more. i have one good embryo left. we'll see. it has to be fast. the joy athina has brought to this house, i want more of that. maria admits she and her husband had a lot of tough times on their journey but all of that is behind them now. she said she felt an instant connection with her daughter, that it just felt natural. we're not gonna call this a happy ending. we'll call this a joyful beginning. >> well put. thank you. now to our series the science of you, morning edition, making the most of your wakeup routine. this morning it's all about your choppers. best time to brush. becky worley. we have loved this series so much. you're on the case again. good morning, becky. >> robin, good morning. i learned how to brush my teeth a few decades ago. i haven't really thought about it since. but new advice on the correct order of operations for your morning dental routine has me

rethinking the basics. the morning routine. specifically the daily regimen for your choppers. but wait. do i brush now to clear out the bacteria from overnight or should i just wait until after my coffee and breakfast? i guess i should ask an expert. an expert like the american dental association spokes person. >> i tell people to brush your teeth right in the morning when they get up but, of course, if you want to wait until after breakfast or remove all of the food, you can do it as well, as long as your breakfast is not too acidic. >> reporter: she said coffee and orange juice coat the teeth with acid and brushing afterwards brushes that acid into your teeth which can weaken your tooth and increase tooth decay. she advises after coffee wait about 20 minutes before brushing. okay. taking her advice, i brush straight after i wake up. but aren't i supposed to be flossing?

that raises more questions. traditional floss or water pick? >> water flosser will use streams of water and pulses that will get rid of the plaque and the food. it is as effective as a traditional floss. >> reporter: i give both a try. i might do this more than flossing, to be honest. it's pretty easy. but it does take some getting used to. and what about those flosser picks? >> the challenge is most people are not able to get it in to a place where it will clean enough plaque and move it around. so i do recommend in that case to use another intradental flosser or something else to remove plaque and bacteria. >> so much plastic after just one use gets thrown into the garbage. but anything that gets you flossing more for dental health is a benefit for the old pearly whites.

i learned a lot here. i have started using a water flosser every day. good news, i'm getting so i don't squirt water all over my face. this brush your teeth before coffee news, i am still in shock. i don't know if i can do it. i will though wait 20 minutes or more after coffee. i'm curious. what about you guys? are you brush before coffee people or wake and brush? >> both. >> yeah. >> yes. do it before. i didn't wait. i'm gonna wait now. i didn't know you should wait about 20 minutes after. >> i'm not gonna go -- [ laughter ]. if you don't, don't post up me. thank you so much for that. turn now to the soaring ocean temperatures off the coast of florida, hitting well over 90 degrees. it's devastating and deadly to the coral and marine life. ginger is in virginia key, florida, with the latest. hey, ginger.

>> at the end of the dock that observation station behind me is one of many that has been recording those unprecedented water temperatures. now, the scientists we were with out yesterday looking at the coral reef south of the florida keys says you don't need that data to know the coral is leaching at what is likely an unprecedented rate. the florida keys baking in weeks of record heat. >> it's like this heat wave never ends. >> july will be their hottest on record. it's not just the air. the water is sweltering, too. the temperature of the ocean around the keys is up to seven degrees above average. >> we're not even close to what the previous record was, let alone the average. >> water that hot can definitely super charge hurricanes. but it can also be fatal for florida's vital coral reef. just a few miles off shore and 20 to 30 feet under the surface of the sea, you'll find more than 80 species of coral, an animal that builds a rock-like

skeleton creating a line of defense, protecting the keys from hurricanes. if we didn't have this reef system right off the coast of the keys, these islands would be decimated. >> it's also home to important creatures, crucial to the economy, between tourism and commercial fishing, the reef brings florida billions in revenue. over the last four decades, florida's reef has lost more than 90% of its live coverage of hurricanes, pollution and constant warming. >> they've hit the tipping point. >> kerry o'neil and her team at the florida aquarium have been helping rehabilitate florida's reef by breeding coral to withstand a warming climate, raising baby coral in their ocean greenhouse. four years ago they planted 200 baby coral on this spot and they've been thriving ever since. >> so the team came out to monitor this site a few weeks ago and the corals were looking pretty good.

but our water temperatures at that time were 91 degrees on the computer. that's concerning. >> but now, with water this hot this long and this early, the corals can die fast. what does it look like? >> it really just looks white. very, very pale. >> here we go. >> within seconds, we saw it, stark white. the coral is bleached. >> soon as i put my face in the water my heart dropped into my stomach. lot of work to be lost. we need to take action to stop the warming of our planet or else scientists like myself will just constantly be trying to keep up with it and keep us from losing species entirely.

>> we'll have to wait for noah to compile a full report from all of the reef. kerry and her team said we could likely say this will be the worst mass extinction and bleaching of coral in the florida keys in our time. it is really incredible to think. she told me there's 3,000-year-old coral that have endured the waves of change over the thousands of years but have died within the last ten days because of this unprecedented heat. unfortunately, the forecast is grim. in the last four weeks we've gone to the highest level of warning. that warning will expand by five to eight weeks, it's everywhere. we're not cooling down. that's the big picture. let's get a check now closer to home. drew: we are cheating up away from the coast today, upper 90's in our warmest cities. it feels warmer around the bay shoreline.

he is fighting for a cause close to his heart. >> uvalde, texas, is where i was born. >> reporter: just after the shooting at robb elementary school took the lives of 19 students, two teachers, he visited his hometown to meet with the families of those lost. >> he wanted to be a marine biologist. these are the same green converse on her feet that turned out to be the only clear evidence that could identify her at the shooting. >> reporter: days later, he headed to washington, meeting lawmakers and delivering this impassioned speech calling for action. >> we need background checks. we need to raise the minimum age to purchase an ar-15 rifle to 21. >> reporter: a month after the shooting a group of lawmakers passed the historic bipartisan safer communities act set to allocate more than $1 billion between now and 2026. >> that's money to pay for mental health resources and security for safer schools to ensure that our kids can learn in peace and without fear.

>> reporter: now matthew's on a mission. >> not enough districts that need these grants know how to apply for them. >> reporter: announcing the greenlights grant initiative. >> let's make sure the first bill passed in 28 years to help protect all of our children in schools matters. >> it's gonna matter. matthew joins us now. thank you for joining us, matthew. tell us what you want schools to know this morning. >> yes. schools all over america. look, we understand, we know billions of dollars are there through security upgrades and mental health counseling. the money's there. the problem is, we understand it's hard for you to get it. the awareness, the access, the application process. it's intimidating. some of you don't have the resources to get a grant writer to write these grants that you need and this competitive process to get that money. the greenlights grants initiative is here to stream line and simplify that process for you.

we're connecting you to those billions of dollars that are there. the federal government wants to utilize, wants to use and for you to safen your schools. we're here to simplify that process for you so that money can be utilized. so your schools can be safer. anybody out there, parents, kids, teacher, coaches. go to your superintendent at your school. say sign up at greenlight grant initiative.org and find all the resources you need to file those grants and get that money. >> your passion is evident. i saw it on full display when i was with you some months ago at an event for sandy hook. as you said, it's not just if you are a teacher. if you're a parent, a grandparent, an auntie. what is your call? what is your call to action for those of us? >> the call to action is go right now to greenlights grant initiative.org. go to your superintendent. that's the person that's going to need to file the grant.

as we know the superintendent at some schools that are high risk, they're wearing three, four hats. as superintendent, pe teacher, a bus driver. they don't have time or the resources to fill out these grants. these grants are intimidating. 50 pages long to get a grant writer to write one to get $50,000. they don't have the resources to do so. what we've got in this initiative, that's that org site, is all the resources that simplify the process for you. we have a menu of what grants that are available. we'll tell you the deadlines, the windows for which the grant is available. which grant is right for your school. we will have grant writers that will write some of the grants for the highest risk schools. we will have grant writers and small tutorials that will be there to walk you through the grant writing process so you can write a competitive grant. the website always gonna live there for any information you're gonna need. every school in america can go there and see the information

they need to know the whens and hows to file these grants. >> schools need to apply for this grant money because it's a use it or lose it situation, right? >> yes. it's not around. i just learned this. if we don't use this money, if this money isn't allocated responsibly to the schools in america, billions of dollars. if it's not allocated now, it will most likely be redistributed in 2026. it is use it or lose it. the money is not there forever. here's the good thing. if we use it now, it tells the federal government that the demand is there and the need is there and that it's working and that it can be refunded. instead of the money going away. that's our hope, to spend it wisely now, which we all want to, the government and the schools and every american wants to. if we spend it wisely now, it has the possibility of being refunded because we show how useful it is. >> what's so great about this, this is a real model of the

way to make government work. make sure government makes good on its promises. what a partnership. >> it's a private and public partnership. it's a civics class in supply and demand. you know? and it's not us. it's not camilla and i who worked on this initiative doing the work for the government. it's working with the government. i think it's a good example of how the private sector and private citizens can work with the government, private and public partnerships to -- that's how, that's civics. that's how america can work better. as we know, no leaders and government agents can do it all on their own and no citizens can do it all on their own. when we have something like this, a bipartisan bill that's come together. we also have private citizens like camilla and i and other people working with the government. that's the partnerships we could use more of in america. >> that's what's really cool. we've heard that you talked possibly about dipping your toe into politics one day. but this is a way of you showing

us that you don't have to be in politics, you don't have to be a politician per se, to evoke change. >> amen. yes. you don't. i would say eluding to it earlier, you know, we've had many leaders that make us hopeful and get us to stand up off of our -- get off our proverbial couch and come to the edge of the room and go, yes, put me in coach. soon as they're elected we tend to go sit back down and say, let them do it for us. no. it's gotta be a partnership from private citizens and the government and our leaders. there are ways to work together. the private sector doesn't have to do things for the government. the government doesn't have to do everything for and alone individually for the citizens. when we find ways like this to work together, i think that's the honey hole we're talking about. >> great to see you. thank you for coming in today. congratulations on the initiative.

>> thank for having me. >> matthew will be on "nightline" talking more about the greenlights grants initiative. >> coming up barbie director greta gerwig is here live.

new surprises await at the disney100 celebration, only at the disneyland resort. ♪ ♪ >> welcome back. welcome back. all week long we've been counting down to the hot pink movie of the summer the one and only "barbie."

this morning the film's oscar nominated director and writer greta gerwig is here with us. we're gonna take a look at a clip first. check it out. >> great. not even broken. you'll be wind. >> treading waves is much more dangerous than people realize. >> you're very brave, ken. >> thank you, barbie. that's not even my job. it is not life guard which is a common misconception. >> very common. >> it's just beach. >> right. what a good job you do at beach. >> so funny. every time we see a clip, it makes me laugh. you're laughing and you wrote and directed this movie. greta, welcome to the show. so happy to have you. [ applause ] there's so much excitement surrounding this movie. we were talking before we started. i grew up with barbie. everyone kind of has some attachment to barbie.

you were raised by a mother who was hesitant about barbie. did that affect the way you told this story? >> well, yeah. my mom wasn't like -- she was a little weary of barbie for all the reasons that you would be. obviously the things you limit, it just made barbie more compelling and exciting to me because it has an air of intrigue. really, most of my barbie dolls came into my house from girls in the neighborhood, like hand me downs, so they were preloved with like the haircuts. they never had shoes. so that went into this movie, one of the characters that kate mckinnon plays. >> margot robbie is barbie. ryan gossling is ken. you say you wrote this specifically for ryan. why was he the perfect ken? >> well, we were going to make it for margot. ryan, he just made me and my writing partner laugh when we thought about it. we were like, he's so funny, but he's funny because he takes it so seriously.

that's where his comedy comes from. honestly, it was like, okay this is for ryan. then we gave the script for the studio. we were like, that's amazing. you know ryan. i have never met ryan. do you know ryan? oh, we're gonna have to get. it took sometime to coordinate everything. i just never saw it with anyone else. the comedy is just so truthful and rooted in real feelings. >> i think he's perfect for this. obviously. something you did, which i love. you took the incredible cast and you had a barbie sleepover before you started filming. what was that like? >> in a way i wanted to do something that felt like part of childhood to bond everyone because so much of making a barbie movie is remembering your childhood. all the barbies had a sleepover. and then the kens came by for like playing charades and stuff and then left when we got into

our pajamas. it was the most amazing, fun time. it made everyone feel like a kid. ryan wasn't able to make it, but he did send a bagpiper. >> he sent a bagpiper? >> which was somehow the perfect thing to do. >> being that you are director, writer, actress as well. i have to ask you about this. wga and also sag-aftra, the strikes in hollywood. why is this such an important moment right now in hollywood? >> i'm a three guild member. directors guild, screen actors guild and writers guild. i think it's a critical point. i think everything the guilds are fighting for is extremely important for the sustainability of our industry. and i think particularly guardrails around ai, which i'm learning about, along with everybody else.

it's just incredibly important. i really hope the studios come back to the table to give the writers and actors a fair and equitable deal. >> i think all of us hope that works out and that everyone can be happy at the end of it. if they get a chance, watch "barbie." that will make you happy. >> yes. i mean, we made it for joy. i think it's wonderful to see it being received that way. >> greta, thank you so much for being here. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> everybody at home "barbie" hits theaters nationwide tomorrow. do not miss it. greta gerwig. now to ginger in florida. hey, ginger. >> hey, morning to you, michael. las vegas is just crushing their cumulative heat records. look at this. had a dust devil. it's not tornado. it's just a difference in temperature with height and over the surface. certainly wouldn't want to be in there. that crushing heat has not happened.
