public and tragic occurrences in the presley family for her personal gain. as part of the plot, investigators say findley used fake names to fabricate loan documents and published a fraudulent foreclosure notice in a memphis paper announcing a plan to auction off graceland to the highest bidder. ♪ beloved by so many, graceland stands as a memorial to the life and legacy of elvis presley with thousands of fans visiting every year. just hours before the estate might have been sold, an unlikely hero stepping in to save the day. >> somebody said, are you kimberly philbrick, and i go, what is this about? and they go, well, your notary was used in a document where somebody put it up for collateral. >> reporter: kimberly philbrick is a notary public in daytona beach, florida. sitting down with abc news and telling our eva pilgrim that she never notarized the document supposedly used for the loan and putting up graceland as

storms is actually going to be damaging wind, large hail, and heavy rain. so, tornadoes are falling on the lower end of the spectrum but it's really looking like strong winds will be the issue. then tomorrow comes along, and we see this threat shift. it starts to sweep into the southeast. this is sunday. from little rock to greenville, montgomery, albany, savannah right on into the carolinas, elevated risk for severe weather. again, strong winds with some hail and heavy rain and could see even a few storms bubbling up in parts of the mid-atlantic and into the northea

own. and it's going to be tough for them to get that balance right. i talked to a lot of democrats in washington who feel really proud of what biden has accomplished. they're pointing to the fact that he actually had a really huge win this week. medicare for the very first time negotiated down -- it's a pretty big discount -- some of the costliest drugs for seniors on medicare, but other democrats who work out in the country in some of these battleground states say you cannot just focus on that, but you have to meet people where you are. she has to look like she has her own big ideas, and on top of that, it's going to be tough for democrats to not look like the event is all hollywood, too star-studded. they'll have a ton of protesters in the streets around the war in gaza. that's going to be tricky, and they have to face the elephant in the room, which is that biden is not the nominee. that is going to be tough for them to talk about. they'll have to talk about -- i mean, there's a lot of voters that really still think that everything that happened was too weird, too crazy, too head-winding and have to address it head on. >> mary: such a big week ahead. so much to keep a close eye on. and, rachael, we have seen

kamala harris starting to give us a glimpse of what's going to be in her agenda. what might we see in terms of policy at the convention, and what do you think should we look for in terms of her first 100 days and what that would look like? >> she's starting to put meat on the bone when it comes to policy after spending the past few weeks leaning into this vibe that's given her momentum. this week with her economic rollout, a few things she talked about boosting the child tax credit up to $6,000 for folks who have newborns, first federal ban on corporate price gouging and $25,000 for first-time home buyers, which is obviously a huge deal because a lot of folks these days can't afford to buy a home, but beyond that, we actually haven't seen a lot of policy details right now. i mean, we've covered -- mary, you've covered congress before. usually by this time in a presidential race, we can tell you exactly what they'll be working on the first few weeks of congress. we don't actually know, and the reason is, there's actually a divide behind the scenes right now. i've talked to democrats who think, okay, why talk policy right now when we could continue to ride this positive wave of

momentum. it's really working for her right now if you look at the polls. you put out specifics, all of a sudden the left is saying, that's not good enough or the centrist democrats say, you know, that's too far to the left, and as one democrat told me, values unite, specifics divide, and, lastly, i would say there's a fear if she is too specific on policy, that donald trump will sort of use that to attack her, and right now he just is flailing. he doesn't know what to do so -- >> will: the harris campaign has though unveiled some economic policy proposals. maryalice, what has the response been to vice president harris' economic plan? >> yeah, i mean, i think that rachael is exactly right. five-point plans rarely win elections, but i think they can help in this case if it makes her look a little more serious compared to donald trump. i mean, rachael is exactly right too in that we've seen such little policy at this point that the fact that she put anything to paper, i think, that, you know, she'll get some points for. you know, progressives that i talk to say that she does get

really high marks for talking about food and housing. it was interesting, like you said, she's talking about how she wants to go after big chains, bit corporations she thinks have engaged in price gouging. republicans say that's the wrong place to place blame, but we'll see if voters buy in to that tact when it comes to high food prices. housing is interesting because so much is decided at the local level. zoning decisions are decided at the local level. everyone across the board knows it's a crisis, but it's actually really hard for the federal government to work on. i think she gets big points for talking about this when so many americans are talking about it and struggling with it, but big picture, you know, i think that the point is well made. that policy specifics can divide the party. it gives republicans fodder. i think that's exactly right, but on the other side, trump is basically saying he will direct his cabinet to lower prices somehow. i think there's a lot of voters that also don't take that seriously. >> gio: and, rachael, we have just a few seconds. what about the republican side? obviously they have a policy push there. what's working? >> you know, at this point i think republicans would be happy

if donald trump talks at all about policy at this point. we've heard the phrase reset, reboot for weeks now. he just isn't doing it. he's sort of leaning into this idea of personal attacks against harris saying he has a right to do it. and, you know, i've caught up with a number of trump insiders this week who were really pushing back on this notion they were hearing from other republicans that he needs to even talk policy at all. they said, let the guy be himself. it worked in 2016. by the way, it didn't work in 2020, but they're saying even negative press at this point is good press, because they're fighting for relevancy that hard that they're afraid if they talk about wonky policy things, which affect everyday americans and are important, that they're just going to basically be glossed over, and harris will continue to run away with this. >> will: rachael bade, maryalice parks, thanks for being here and making us smarter every day. time now though for the weather and somara theodore. hey, somara. >> somara: let's get a check. things are getting hot out here. here we go. this is an earth cam shot from earlier this morning in dallas, texas.

look at this. the sun coming up and getting straight to work. excessive heat warnings have been issued throughout parts of the south including texas into louisiana. i mean, look at this. if you look to the left farther west, those are actual air temperatures today, phoenix, it will be hot, 108. albuquerque under a heat advisory. you move farther to the east, the hot pink is excessive heat warnings. i meaning, it's not just going to feel like 110, but some spots could feel like 115 degrees from oklahoma city all the way to shreveport and jackson. this heat ridge continues to build, and you can see records possible in the coming days. that's a look at the forecast across the country. >> somara: that's a look at your local forecast, and something that we often stress when it comes to heat is that it can be

cumulative all these days and feeling like the triple digits. very little relief overnight can be a big issue. we want people to stay hydrated and cool. >> mary: 115 in some places, that's hard to believe. thank you. coming up here on "good morning america," the major changes taking effect in the real estate market. what buyers and sellers need to know. . what buyers and sellers need to know. one strawberry poof, please. oh. enjoy it. oh, poofect. bye waybor. something minty? of course, it's a large.
