accepting the nomination soon. harris now kick off her campaign and rallying her troops, visiting what was the biden campaign headquarters in wilmington, delaware. now ground zero for her campaign for president. biden himself calling in to the meeting while home recovering from covid. in his first public remarks since bowing out of the race, biden passing the baton to his loyal vp. >> i'm hoping you'll give every bit of your heart and soul that you gave to me to kamala, and i want you to know, i won't be on the ticket, but i'm still going to be fully engaged. >> reporter: harris taking the mic, but biden still on the line. >> we love joe and jill. we really do. they truly are like family to us. >> so do we. >> everybody here does. >> it's mutual.

>> reporter: harris then outlining what's at stake in this election. the former california attorney general making it clear she's ready to prosecute the case against donald trump. >> those roles i took on perpetrators of all kinds. predators who abused women fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump's type. >> reporter: the party now consolidating behind her with lightning speed. in just over a day since jumping in the race, harris raising over $100 million the largest haul in campaign history. with tens of thousands of black

activists leading the charge. she's locking up endorsements from every democratic governor and all senators and representatives. with the party closing rank around her would be rivals quickly falling in line. >> we need someone who is experienced, who cares about people and knows how to get things done. that's kamala harris. >> i like our chance running a prosecutor against a guy who is a convicted felon. >> reporter: nancy pelosi, former powerful house speaker who was instrumental in pressuring biden to drop out of the race, now backing her former californian, praising harris' strong values, faith and commitment to public service. >> we're very excited about praising his legacy and electing kamala harris president. >> reporter: for now the top two democrats in congress, chuck shumer and hakeem jefferies with holding support, but leaving little doubt. >> vice president harris has

excited the community. she's excited the house democratic caucus. and she's exciting the country. >> reporter: and another sign the harris team thinks they have this locked up, they have now tasked eric holder, former attorney general under president obama. he and his law firm will be leading the vetting process for her running mates, george. >> george: governor whitmer took herself out of the process but several other top democrats expressing interest. >> reporter: yeah. george, we are starting to see some begin to audition here. we are watching closely several governors including governor beshear of kentucky, governor shapiro. they don't have a lot of time, george, so this process will have to move quickly. >> robin: president biden set to return to the white house after spending several days at home in delaware recovering from covid. our senior white house correspondent selina wang is there for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. president biden is finally set to end his covid isolation here

in delaware. he's planning to return to the white house this afternoon. now, he's been isolating here since late wednesday and this will be the first time we are seeing biden out in public since he made that historic decision and completely up ended this race. now yesterday his doctors said his covid symptoms are almost gone. we are expecting the president this week to give a speech in front of the american people about his decision to drop out of this race. after that, he is vowing to get back on the campaign trail, but now to rally support around vice president harris. but look, biden still has six months left of his presidency and he says he's determined to do everything he can, both at home and abroad. that includes trying to end this war in gaza and bring the hostages back home. both of which the president said he is on the verge of accomplishing. also this week i'm told the president is still planning to meet with israel's netanyahu at the white house. the biden aides are telling me he is going to finish the job.

part of that is making sure vice president harris wins the white house. george? >> george: thanks. president biden set to drop out of the race has knocked the trump campaign off balance. they are facing a very different opponent in harris. rachel scott is covering trump. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. for more than 600 days donald trump has been focused on trying to beat one candidate and one candidate only, president joe biden. this morning he is clearly not happy that he has to switch gears and focus on vice president harris. with just over 100 days until the election, donald trump's campaign forced to pivot. the former president and his new running mate, senator j.d. vance, clearly distressed that a new democratic candidate is in the race. >> couple of elite democrats got in a smoke filled room and decided to throw joe biden overboard. that's not how it works. that's a threat to democracy. >> reporter: trump fired off more than a dozen posts, many attacking president biden, not vice president harris. in one post writing we are forced to spend time and money

on fighting crooked joe biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate and quits the race. now we have to start all over again. for months trump questioned joe biden's age and mental fitness. now with biden out of the race, donald trump, at 78, becomes the olest nominee in history. democrats ready to flip the script. >> the other side has a nominee that can barely get a sentence out. he's approaching 80. he brings us back to the past. >> if you want a nominee who can put trump's age and fitness in the forefront, kamala harris is the person. >> reporter: republicans hoping to hit harris on the record serving under president biden. >> she is obviously the co-owner of the policies in this administration. >> reporter: turns out trump himself was once a supporter of harris. he donated $6,000 to her 2014 for re-election as california attorney general including this check. and trump continued to post on

social media overnight. he did start to take on vice president kamala harris over the biden administration handling over immigration and the border. also said she was doing terribly in the polls. he did misspell the word polls in that post. the former president gets back out on the campaign trail tomorrow with a rally in north carolina. >> robin: we're gonna talk about the polls there. okay there. thank you very much, rachel. as we know harris' team already looking at potential running mates. let's bring in our political director and washington bureau chief rick klein. the choice is likely all about the battleground states? >> yeah. good morning, robin. look, the harris team is laser focused on who can help them win this election. starting with how they won the last time is instructive. keep in mind this is a map that made joe biden president and harris vice president. it was a very closely divided set of states that made it happen. arizona, that went for the biden/harris ticket by about 10,000 votes. pennsylvania about 80,000 votes. north carolina, a state that did

not vote for biden but went to trump by only a percentage point or so. these are closely divided states, which brings us to the men and some of the women that are being considered as a potential running mate. as mary noted some are already jostling for position. josh shapiro, governor of pennsylvania, he won his state by 15 points. close battleground. mark kelly from arizona won by five point backes in 2022. roy cooper has been elected twice as a redder state of north carolina. andy beshear, governor of kentucky, has somehow won in kentucky despite it being a red state. only 46 years old, he makes a very intriguing matchup against j.d. vance, robin. >> robin: what do the polls tell us about in those key states? >> there's not a lot of battleground states yet that matches harris up against trump. this is a hole democrats see themselves having to dig out from under. this is what polling looked like on that disastrous date by joe

biden. biden leading narrowly down less than a percentage point in michigan and pennsylvania. he needed that debate to get back in the game. that did not happen. this is what it looks like now. fast forward to the day joe biden dropped out. he had lost ground in every single battleground state. these are six of the seven states joe biden won last time around. now he's trailing in all of them including the upper west battlegrounds, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. donald trump leading in all of them the day biden dropped out. maybe things look different with harris in the race but that is part of the landscape. national polling, latest poll overnight we see donald trump with a two point lead against kamala harris, consistent with other polls. most of the poll was still in the field while joe biden had not yet exited the race. so the hope among the harris team is this race resets and that choosing a running mate helps them get out of some of the hole they're in right now. robin? >> robin: rick, thanks to you.

>> george: capitol hill where the head of the secret service is under fire, facing calls to resign from republicans and democrats after the assassination attempt on former president trump. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is tracking the story. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. director is vowing not to resign, but she is facing incredible pressure. nine days after the attempted assassination of former president trump -- >> take a look at what happened -- >> reporter: secret service director kim cheatle appeared before congress monday, admitting the shooting was the most significant operational failure since the attempt to assassinate president reagan. >> on july 13th, we failed. as director of the united states secret service, i take full responsibility for any security lapse of our agency. >> reporter: 4 1/2 hours of blistering questions, democrats and republicans demanding that the director resign. >> it is my firm belief,

director cheatle, that you should resign. >> if you have an assassination attempt on a president, former president or a candidate, you need to resign. >> reporter: lawmakers angry as she refused to answer specific questions about what went wrong. >> director, it's been nine days. either you have the information or you do not. is that correct? >> we are still in the process of conducting interviews and investigation. >> some of my colleagues have texted me over the last couple days, bipartisan, about whether you should lose your job. i have been quiet on that question because i wanted to see what you were going to do today. in my opinion, you do need to be fired immediately. >> reporter: cheatle saying a local swat team spotted the gunman on the roof of that warehouse about 18 minutes before trump took stage and the secret service received between two and five alerts about a suspicious person before the first shot was fired. director saying the gun man was

not considered a threat until mere seconds before the shooting. >> why was he allowed to take the stage with a suspicious person having been identified in the crowd? >> the detail had been passed information that there was a threat. the detail would never have brought the former president out on to stage. >> reporter: cheatle still believes she's the best person to lead the service at this time. people telling me a change in leadership would cause more chaos. we will see, gio. >> gio: we will see. thank you very much for your reporting. now the competitive deals trying to lure customers back to restaurants. mcdonald's extending its $5 value meal past its original end date. elizabeth schulze is in washington with more on all this competition. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning. that $5 value meal will be sticking around through the summer. in a memo viewed by abc news, mcdonald's executives said most u.s. locations will extend the deal through august.

this $5 meal was only supposed to last a month but it is resonating with millions of customers and helping boost traffic at restaurants. the meal includes a choice of a mcdouble or mcchicken sandwiches, four piece chicken small french fries and a small soft drink. we've seen several fast food chains including burger king, starbucks, wendy's offer $5 meals to try to entice customers who are frustrated with high prices. overall the cost of going out to eat has outpaced the cost of groceries every month so far this year. we did see wendy's try to up the ante offering its honey buddy breakfast sandwich for only $1 every monday through the end of september. but there is a catch. you have to order that through the wendy's app. it only comes with the purchase of another item at the same time. guys. >> robin: there's always a catch. always catch. >> reporter: read the fine print. >> robin: thanks, elizabeth. >> george: coming up karen read back in court facing retrial as her lawyers try to get some of

the charges thrown out after the mistrial in her case. >> gio: and the travel nightmare after the global nightmare. >> robin: plus the sequel shaking things up at the box office. first, good morning, ginger. >> ginger: i saw it. lot to say. i did. last night. i went with the other meteorologist. we all went. we have some big time real weather to talk about. that's the fire known to be started by illegal fireworks. y'all, it is so dry out there, if they say you can use fireworks, you can't. you've destroyed six homes. more than 500 acres burned in about three hours. seven homes have been damaged and others are still threatened. they've got it about 40% contained. fire danger is high but the smoke danger for that air quality is terrible. look at this in denver. this is from out of state fires that have filtered down. also canada, 850 up there. we're watching all of them from north dakota down to mexico.

(woman) oh! abc news headquarters in new york. we are coming on the air because abc news has learned that secret service director kimberly cheadle has resigned her post. it comes 24 hours after her blistering hearing in front of the house oversight committee investigating the attempted assassination of donald trump during his rally in butler, pennsylvania. during that contentious hearing, lawmakers from both parties called on her to refusal to directly answer questions, citing the ongoing

investigation into the shooting. director cheadle accepting full responsibility, calling it the agency's most significant operational failure in decades, and acknowledging, quote. on june 13th, we failed cheadle force forcefully pushed back against accusations that the secret service had denied requests for additional security. at that rally, she also revealed a local swat team spotted gunman thomas crooks on the roof of that warehouse. approximately 18 minutes before trump took the stage, adding the secret service was alerted between 2 to 5 times about a suspicious person before that first shot was even fired. cheadle claiming word of a possible threat, was never given to the secret service if it had donald trump's security would not have allowed him to take the stage, cheadle saying crooks wasn't considered a threat until seconds. just seconds before that shooting. let's get right to abc's chief justice

correspondent pierre thomas pierre during that blistering heat hearing yesterday, several times your interview with cheadle was cited. does this surprise you that she is stepping down? >> well, it's late at night. last night, phil, she was maintaining that she would not step down, that she felt she was in the best position to carry on the mission of the secret service. but clearly overnight, after seeing that she had become a distraction to the secret service after that, as you said, blistering hearing it was one of the most intense grilling i've ever seen a public official go through in which democrats and republicans piled on with question after question. for some reason, she simply chose not to answer some of the specifics that she had. the details with. she would not do it. democrats and republicans again calling on her to step down, to say if she didn't step down, that she should be fired, knowing that overnight. clearly she thought long and hard about it in this statement that we

have that was read to the workforce, sums it up in light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that i've made the difficult decision to step down as your director, but i think the key again, was she was not simply able to give a clear cut answer to the question that everyone has been focused on. why was there not secret service or law enforcement personnel on top of the roof? why was there not law enforcement personnel stationed around that building that had a clear line of sight directly to the former president? why was there not law enforcement personnel around the building? to make sure no one could get to the top of the roof? the agency was not able to answer that question clearly. law enforcement and, state and law enforcement officials were clearly not in position to do the job they needed to do. and, phil, i think the key thing is she talked about the notion that there were operational plans discussed, but she would not

identify the people at the secret service who were responsible for putting that plan in place. given that law enforcement officials said, you're you're stonewalling, congressional figures were very upset with her. and she had no room, no room, no sympathy. i've never seen a hearing quite like we saw yesterday. >> yeah. and pierre, at one point they some frustrated lawmaker actually said, you gave the abc news reporter more answers than you're giving us. it just seemed like whether she was prepared or not prepared, she could have told lawmakers, hey, this is an active investigation. i can't give these details, but she couldn't even do that yesterday. pierre, phil, here's a key thing we know for a fact that the fbi and the secret service briefed members of congress last week with a tiktok blow by blow about what they knew at this moment in

terms of what happened, in terms of the assassination attempt, why she did not give that information that they gave to congress behind closed doors more openly will be a question that's pondered, and it's the reason why she's no longer in office today. and aaron katersky is here with me in studio. aaron, we heard pierre talk a little bit about that, but you have her full resignation letter here. >> the resignation letter was sent in a message to the workforce a little less than a half hour ago. phil. and it simply said that she did not want those bipartisan calls for her resignation to become a distraction. and so, she says, with a heavy heart, she has made the difficult decision to step down as director. these bipartisan calls came almost immediately. as soon as that hearing started and the final one came from jamie raskin, the ranking member who waited until the four hour hearing concluded before he said publicly that she didn't seem to have a choice but

to resign. there wasn't a way that she was going to survive, given the, the what many in the committee viewed as the failings of the secret service, which she says she takes full responsibility for what she called a security lapse. but after the bipartisan calls, phil, the writing was on the wall. yeah. >> and she said, the buck stops here. and today the buck stopped with her. aaron. thank you, pierre. thank you. as well. our coverage continues on abc news live and abc news.com will have a full wrap up on world news tonight with david muir. for now i'm phil lipof. we'll see you soon. soon. >> this has been at aches and p, or a parasitic infection. or a parasitic infection. soon. >> this has been at aches and p, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. show off to the world. ask your eczema specialist about dupixent. school is back, and dick's sporting goods has what you need to win your year. check backpacks off your list from nike, the north face, and more. plus, score the latest colors from stanley,

wolverine coming to theaters in the same 4dx way, with regal promising you can, quote, feel every punch and every strike as wolverine clashes with deadpool. >> for those who just want to have the most over the top experience taking that big screen experience and taking it to the next level, then 4dx is for you. i think deadpool wolverine is the perfect movie for the 4dx experience. >> we don't want to give away all the secrets but there are more effects in 4dx that pair well with this movie. i heard from several people out of it that they felt 4dx was built for this movie because of the shaking. it was intense for sure. you caught it in imax? >> ginger: i saw it in regular because i have storm chased my whole life. i feel like i have felt that. >> gio: i have been in it. >> ginger: i'd try it. i have already chased dozens of tornados and been right up on them. >> i saw it opening day. i loved the first one also.

>> robin: good morning from times square. we are back with our gma cover story and sophie kansella sharing for the first time in detail a more personal story, about living with an aggressive and fast growing brain tumor. i recently traveled to london to sit down with sophie and her husband henri. with over 45 million books sold worldwide best selling author sophie kansella has delighted readers for over two decades. known for her shopaholic series, her first two novels were adapted into the 2009 film "confessions of a shopaholic." >> someone had my credit card and has gone on an insane spending spree. >> robin: "confessions of a shopaholic."

how did you come up with that idea? >> i was in a shop. i was thinking about my visa bill, as we all do. thinking, so many of us go through the same emotions. the shock, the anger, the denial. i suddenly thought, wait. we all go through this. this is universal. that inspired me to write my own character who shops perhaps just a little too much. >> robin: so what we are reading is who she is? >> each character in each book is a little bit of her. >> robin: now her latest chapter still unwritten. how she's navigating life with brain cancer, after first being diagnosed in november 2022. take us back to that moment. >> the first symptom i had with my legs. stumbling. i was tripping. i started getting severe headaches. i got very confused. it was really when i started tipping over in my chair that we realized something really was wrong.

>> robin: a brain scan revealed a grade 4 gleoblastoma brain tumor. sophie under going surgery days later. >> it was an eight hour operation. they found the tumor and got it out, as much as they could see. you have to take your triumphs where you. >> robin: sophie leading with that triumphant spirit throughout her difficult rehab and recovery. the surgery impacting both her memory and movement. >> i couldn't do anything. and i had to have rehab in all of these areas. this will make you laugh. being a briton, they said you have to make a cup of tea before you can go home. [ laughter ] you can go home when you can make a cup of tea. >> robin: you have to find the humor. >> you do. that's just my way. i could see this was funny, even though it was actually very daunting. >> robin: henri, you had to keep repeating things to her. she would forget so quickly. >> yeah, yes. memory loss -- >> we are not over that particular challenge. i just have these gaps in my

memory. it's never really got back to normal. >> reporter: glioblastoma is an extremely aggressive tumor. there is no cure. according to the american cancer society, the five year survival rate can be as low as 6%. sophie, completing rounds of radiation and chemotherapy, as doctors recommend the 54-year-old continue weekly chemo pills at home. i know firsthand, having gone through it, and my wife being a caregiver. just talk about the role of your husband. >> he has just been such a hero. he stayed with me in the hospital the whole time. i once said to him, i got very teary at one stage and i said, oh my god, you didn't sign up for this. do you know what he said? he said, yes, i did, in sickness and in health. >> robin: that love shared with their five children. sophie and henri thoughtfully taking the time to share the

news with them and find peace with their new normal. what would you say to others who are walking the path you are walking? what advice can you give to others to help them? >> first of all, i would say it's a privilege. it's a privilege to be here. keep going. keep going. >> he brings me a cup of tea every morning. he comes to me with a story of hope. i have already lasted more than the average so, you know, that's how we get through. we just hope. >> robin: no one should be told that you have an incurable cancer. with other cancers there's better treatment. how do you deal with that and stay so optimistic? >> i think we just stay in the moment and just think right now things are good. and you can't expect any more than that. we have this habit before we go to sleep. we go through what happened in the day.

>> it's been a great day. today we did this. we did this walk and there was an amazing view. >> you just think, let's not think the global picture. let's just think about today and then focus on tomorrow. >> robin: her latest work a novella titled "what does it feel like." it's her most intimate one yet. >> it's fiction, but it's about an author with five children who gets brain cancer. so you can detect the inspiration. and i just thought people might be curious to know what it feels like to go through this. it's funny in parts. it's sad in parts. i hope it's full of optimism and love, most of all. >> robin: you end by wishing everybody a happy ending. what is your happy ending? >> my happy ending is that whatever happens to me, my family is okay. i think that's my happy ending

because that's what i care about. >> robin: oh my goodness. her new book, which is coming out october 8th "what does it feel like" i have read extended excerpts. you laugh, you cry. it's just so incredibly powerful. they're such a lovely, lovely couple. they were excited when i was there. their oldest was about to get married a few days after that interview. that's what they look at. they look at those little triumphs, little moments. >> gio: staying in the present. >> robin: something we can all learn from. so much, too. i am still smiling after being in their presence. i'll have more of my interview with sophie and henri tonight on nightline. hope you'll have time to check it out. >> lara: for sure we will. >> george: let's go to ginger. >> ginger: love that smile. houston's had a rough year. 15 inches above normal for rainfall. even though power is back, they've got an elevated risk for flash flooding.

certain -- used to be called synchronized swimming. now it's artistic swimming? >> lara: when i was little it was water ballet. then synchronized swimming. >> james: not ballet any more. >> lara: we are getting ready for paris. we all remember it in the movies. first discovered synchronized swimming as a sport in the olympics when it debuted in los angeles in 1984. the name of the sport has since been changed to artistic swimming but the name does not convey even a little bit the level roff athleticism it takes to perform. >> james: absolutely not. you need stamina of a marathon runner acrobatic moves of a gymnast, grace of a ballerina all of which you and i don't have but were fortunate to learn from one of the best in the sport. ♪

>> lara: remember esther williams and the sweet world of synchronized swimming? well today the sport has a new name and a new attitude. artistic swimming. athletes are bitter and fiercer than ever, combining ar teufrtry and acrobatics all while holding your breath under water for mints at a time. no one embodies artistic swimming more than bill may. following his older sister into the pool when he was just 9 years old, may was often the only male on his teams growing up in california. but he managed to become a national champion and also won a world championship with team usa. his eye, though, was always on the olympics. it seemed this year may's moment has arrived. for the first time ever, this year the ioc said men can try out to compete in artistic swimming events in the olympic games. may made it to the final cut for team usa but ultimately did not

make the olympic team. >> you know, it was something i wanted for myself but i wanted it for the sport. i fight for the inclusion of men in the sport. i try to inspire others like they've inspired me. just because i feel, no matter who you are, male, female, anyone. if you have a desire to do something then nothing should stand in your way. >> lara: talk about the various things athlete doss to train for their career? >> we spend about 10, 12 hours in the pool. outside the pool we're doing cross training and fitness training and core workouts and flexibility. >> james: this is artistic swimming. but it is hard. >> lara: i was just going to say you make it look so easy above the water. beneath the surface there's a lot of work. >> james: so much work. breath work, muscles. >> it's a beast underwater and beauty on top. [ laughter ] >> lara: what would you say to all kids about this sport? >> i would say it's going to be difficult. not every day is going to be the

greatest thing in the world. but the rewards are amazing. let someone tell you know and you tell them, yes, watch me. >> james: great advice. >> lara: great advice. now we need some personal advice. >> we're going in the pool. >> lara: we are wearing these outfits because we are the good morning america and last minute entrants into this game. you did not know that but it's happening. >> james: do we look like we could do well? >> you look like it. >> lara: maybe with bill's help, we can bring home the gold. >> very, very first thing you learn in artistic swimming is a simple swimming. just go on your back. nice and basic. >> lara: can somebody call a doctor? >> james: i love how his last words were "nice and basic." >> lara: the toe point alone is a 10. time to venture into the deep. >> okay. very first thing, stall. take your hands.

>> james: every one of the muscles in my back is on fire. >> that's perfect! you need to be stable under the water to make sure everything above the water looks effortless. >> lara: i'm going. ♪ this is way beyond my water ballet at the garden city pool. >> james: i have no idea where i am or who i am. >> remember there's people all around the pool. you're look over here and smiling over there and yelling over there. your moves are going every which way. >> lara: what about something we land on our back? >> let's do a ballet leg. leg in. leg up. >> lara: oh, that's good. >> bring your other leg to the surface. >> lara: i can't. >> james: i have been in war zones that are more dangerous. >> lara: maybe we should focus on the outside of the water part. not a bad idea as an artistic

team isn't just judged on what goes on in the pool. the deck work beforehand also counts towards the final score. representing the united states -- >> james: and the united kingdom ♪ >> lara: well -- [ applause ] >> gio: at least you got the dive right. >> lara: there's more coming. that was just a preamble to the routine that we learned. i use the word routine loosely, very loosely. >> robin: after the break we're going to see the routine? >> lara: you're going to see the final product. >> robin: that was just a tease? >> lara: i'm here to tell you that we're both here. >> james: we didn't die. >> lara: it is so hard. these athletes are so talented. bill may made it all the way to the final cut. this is the first year they were allowing men to perform in the olympics.

he was right there. he will go to the olympics as a representative and continue to coach, coaching several boys, several men, in hopes that more and more men get involved in the sport. >> robin: i'm so glad you shared his back story so we have a better understanding. >> lara: we're going to be with them next week at the olympics. >> james: looking forward to that. >> lara: we will show you the final product. bill's finest work is coming up on gma. >> robin: we can't wait to see it. we'll be right back.

>> george: world's longest tease. we're about to see it happen, right? >> lara: we're gearing up for our big trip to paris to cover the summer games and to get ready. we did train with olympic level athletes james longman and i. by far, as you might have gathered, artistic swimming turned out to be the most difficult for james and i. but our coach, billy may, would not allow us to quit. >> james: he taught us basic moves in hopes that team gma would do it. we really did try. take a look. ♪ >> lara: olympic hopeful bill may officially guided us through some of the fundamentals of artistic swimming. >> that's right.

>> lara: okay. but is it enough to pull together an olympic caliber routine? we are about to find out. >> team usa, united kingdom! ♪ [ laughter ] >> james: this is what olympic training saul about, repetition. >> lara: how many times a day would you have your athletes doing this routine? >> easily 100. >> lara: how many time doss we have to do it? >> a few more. >> lara: at this rate, we're going to top that. >> james: pump, pump. >> lara: i'm pumping. >> one more time. we're gonna get it right. >> lara: it's down to the wire. can we pull this off in our very last attempt? ♪

[ applause ] [ laughter ] >> robin: that was impressive. >> lara: not bad. we tried. >> james: we tried. >> lara: we want to say thank you to bill may for his endless patience. we love you, bill. you are a great coach. [ laughter ] and again, he will be at the olympics as a representative. i hope so much to see more and more men in the sport of artistic swimming. as they now call it. >> james: he said, bill, while he'll continue as a coach and competitor, he won't be trying out for the 2028 games. he said he will be there for another 35 years if he can. >> robin: it really helps us

have a better understanding what these athletes, the training that they do, to get to where they are. better appreciation. you're good athletes. come on. >> james: this was so hard. >> lara: honestly. >> james: you can be okay at tennis. you can get the ball back. you can run in football. this, you can drown. we nearly did. [ laughter ] it was hard. >> robin: but you're off to paris? >> lara: you're leaving. >> james: i go tonight to paris. maggie is already there. lara is gonna join us. we're gonna show you paris and the games. >> lara: we'll hit the ground running. we'll be sending you pieces. i promise we won't do that to you again. >> robin: have a great time. >> lara: thank you. >> george: let's go to ginger. >> ginger: it was a 10! i enjoyed it. we're in. want to tell you about a great podcast coming back for season 2. pop culture moms. it's about how moms are portrayed throughout pop

culture. also dives into the reality of raising kids. hosted by andi mitchell and sabrina colbert. this season they will welcome melissa joan hart, shawn johnson and patty singer. pop culture moms is available now wherever you get your podcast. >> lara: we're gonna switch gears to the literary debut of the summer. keanu reeves co-authored a new science fiction book with juju chang sat down with them to discuss the book of elsewhere. hey, juju. >> it is true. we all know keanu reeves as an action star.

he plays assassins and heroes. the one who saves the universe. did you also know he's a popular comic book creator? he's teamed up with one of the greats in sci-fi to turn keanu's creation into a thrilling novel. >> no way! >> yes way, ted! >> reporter: keanu reeves has been a hollywood standout for nearly four decades with high octane roles from matrix to john wick. but then he turned his creative focus to a hit comic book series, berserker. >> i have spent centuries watching. i'm finally close to an answer. >> reporter: now he's teamed up with china mieville for the book of elsewhere based on keanu's comic character and immortal warrior. >> he's being studied by the american government to try to find out the source of this power of the immortality, which i think kind of calls into question the question of why

humans don't want to die and what is this quest for immortality? >> the status of being is up for debate. is this even a human? if it is a human, what are our theories of being human? how does the unconscious work if you have a perfect memory, which he has, if you're that old. >> i know this is based on your character and the comic book series. how did you come up with an 80,000-year-old immortal warrior? >> i have no idea. [ laughter ] i will say with the book of elsewhere that it's a stand alone work of art. you don't necessarily have to be familiar with the comic book. >> reporter: how did the partnership work? >> keanu was all very generous. it was a collaboration. before we started we spoke for a very long time. i came up with certain ideas. i was saying these ideas for these characters that you've created.

do they work? once we agreed they did and keanu was very excited about them, we worked out a plot and so on which took sometime. >> you really get into his interior life. >> you just dive in and you can have something so moving. i saw the zepelin that killed my family and found it beautiful. >> i read that one myself. he also looks a good deal like you. >> yeah. >> is that by accident? >> no. >> no. >> absolutely not. >> now there's a movie being developed by netflix i'm told. >> when we started to work on it a wonderful artist rafael grampa did some art for the characters. one of the questions was, do you want to it look like me? i was like, yes, please. >> keanu is no stranger to playing a version of himself making a hilarious cameo in "always be my maybe."

>> i have started so many meals since seeing that film and that scene. >> may i ask, do you have any dishes that play with time? the concept of time? >> which is your line from that meal scene and fetched with pleasure in asking it so i thank you for it. >> there was great writing in that film. it was great. >> reporter: is that what you're drawn to, good writing? >> of course. the writing was amazing. performers i got to work with. it was fun. >> reporter: as you're writing the book of elsewhere, is keanu playing this role, so to speak? >> inevitably. he obviously brings to mind keanu's features. he's a lot less fun to hang out with than keanu. >> come on, man. he's got a sense of humor. >> i didn't say he didn't have a sense of humor. he's very dangerous overall. >> yeah. a little bit.

>> reporter: potentially deadly. >> aren't we all? >> keanu loves his character, you can tell. he's developing his berserker character into a netflix run. yes, he plans to play the lead. i have to admit, i'm not a sci-fi reader but yet this book sucks you in and packs a punch. called "the book of elsewhere." it's out today. >> george: fascinating. >> lara: such a great guy. "the book of elsewhere" is available now. coming up is fluffy coke worth the hype? [ laughter ] that's the question. lori b has the answer.

the internet loves her. they took marshmallow fluff and basically lined the sides of a glass, put some coke in. people are freaking out. it it is 4 million views. >> lara: i want to know what is it about this combination that works so well, and why is this -- like, where do we start if you want to make this your summer fun drink? >> first of all take marshmallow fluff, right? people are saying line the glass. people are saying it's the acidity of the coca-cola with that fluffiness, that vanilla tinged -- >> lara: wow. this is a lot of fluff. [ laughter ] >> i will tell you, i made these yesterday. i think what is key is this little nugget ice. ice really is critical. >> lara: if you have bigger cubes should you beat them a little bit? >> yeah, beat them up. guys --

[ laughter ] >> nice try. >> gio: kid approved. >> kid approved. it's definitely a sweet treat.

so sparingly. but people love it. i have to tell you, everybody was talking about it this morning. that's the reason it's viral. everyone wants to know. >> lara: now we know. we know how to make it. >> gio: it's fun to look at. >> lara: thank you so much. >> thanks, leo! >> gio: we'll be right back. stick around. a team can help you plan for your dreams. so your dream car, and vacation home, may be closer than you think. ready to meet the dream team? you can with wells fargo. when we're young, we're told anything is possible... ...but only a few of us go out and prove it. witness the greatness of anna hall on a connection worthy of gold: xfinity mobile. only xfinity gives you the most powerful mobile wifi network, with speeds up to a gig in millions of locations. and right now, xfinity internet customers can buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. get the fastest connection to paris with xfinity.
