matt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tom. preparations are already under way here at the reagan presidential library. you can see the air force one jet that ronald and nancy reagan would travel the world. overnight, we saw flatbed trucks delivering equipment for what will be a 1,000-person funeral here. i'm told that heads of state, former presidents, celebrities will attend. nancy reagan, of course, knew them all. and even in her twilight years, friends tell me she regularly attended meetings here. the library. when she couldn't walk herself, she was wheeled out to her husband ronald's gravesite, she would sit there for 15 minutes to 20 minutes to meditate. she'll be put to rest alongside her ronnie. tom. gutman for us. matt, thanks so much. turning to politics now, things got testy between hillary clinton and bernie sanders

common chronic disorder. most of the time when we do surgery for endometriosis is elective and managed as an outpatient. sometimes it can be required to do some kind of surgery, if there's a cyst, if it's rupturing, a small bowel obstruction. >> so something went wrong obviously on this. lot of people suffer from this as you say, but it's not talked about a lot. can you break it down for us? >> let's go mini med school here, some basic anatomy, we have some ovaries, the fallopian tube, the uterus endometriosis gets disbursed all over. and those glands are hormonally responsive. they contract along with the uterus. they can pain when they attach to the bowel and bladder. they can cause problems with that. they can cause air in the lung. we have seen it in incisions on

so, again it's really the complications of endometriosis >> so, is that what leads to the cyst? cyst that can become quite large and in some cases can rupture. we need to do surgery. but to be clear, our ovaries make cysts for a living. if you hear the term cyst doesn't necessarily mean you'll need surgery. >> okay, you have a lot more information on this. jen will be taking your questions throughout the morning. tweet her or go to "gma's" facebook page. straight to jesse with the morning menu. a look at the morning menu -- behind the style and grace of nancy reagan and her influence beyond the white house. we got two people who knew her very well. plus, the bachelor's exes are telling all. they are going face to face with ben. plus, it's a jungle here in times square.

icon in the fashion world, nancy reagan was a force. she once described the strength of a woman and in doing so shed some light on her own disposition, saying a woman is like a tea bag, you cannot tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water. nancy reagan is said to have redefined the role of first lady. her glamour, rivaled only by her advocacy. >> what will you do when someone offers you drugs? >> all: just say no! >> reporter: as she gave voice to millions of americans. in 1987 she brought breast cancer to the forefront after she was diagnosed with the disease and defended her decision to have a mastectomy. >> maybe if i had been 20 years old, hadn't been married, hadn't had children i would feel completely differently.

>> reporter: following president reagan's 1994 diagnosis with alzheimer's disease, nancy went on to take a very public stand in support of stem cell research. she talked to abc's diane sauer in 2005 about then-president bush's opposition to it. >> you could save millions of people's lives if you really charged ahead with stem cell -- hopefully, we will. >> still hoping to persuade him? >> well, you always hope. i don't know. as i say, he -- he firmly believes his position is the right position. and that's fine. that's -- that's his belief. >> reporter: in 2009, nancy met with president obama at the white house as he signed the reagan bill. >> there are few who are not moved by the love that mrs.

and fewer still who aren't inspired that this love led her to take the cause of stem cell research and alzheimer's disease. >> reporter: roger sandler got to know nancy reagan like few ever did. >> whether it was personal or professional, if you wanted to get a policy question to him, and you couldn't get to him directly, people would call nancy reagan. >> reporter: she was not only a gatekeeper for the president but a style icon for the ages. dazzling in the 1940s and 1950s and capital charisma in the 1980s. our love is here to stay >> reporter: red was her signature color, later dubbed reagan red. she said i always liked red, it's a picker-upper. but she still manageded to make statements in jeans on the

she won a lifetime achievement award in 1988. oscar de la renta once said, nancy never made a single faux pas. the editor of "glamour" has said you can track the idea of red as a power color back to nancy reagan. some said she was influential in making red the republican color. she became a political figure in her own right and certainly did it with style. george and amy. >> she certainly did. we're joined now by two people who knew nancy reagan well, she joins us from virginia. >> and here in new york, vanity fair special correspondent bob colacello. good morning to both of you. bob, let's begin with you. nancy reagan said in the past, she never considered her place in the history, it was always

what do you think is her legacy? >> think their legacy one and the same. it's very funny, especially as the years went by, she wanted to be recognized for how much she had done, but she never wanted to outshine her husband. it was a delicate balance in how she wanted to be written about. but she -- they were just joined at the hip. i mean, she was his -- not only the gatekeeper but his adviser, his soulmate, his public relations adviser. >> and his caretaker at the end. >> and sheila, nancy reagan didn't like to talk about her influence on the policy of president reagan. but she was really a force behind the scenes at the white house? >> well, i think any -- any wife of a president, if they have a very close relationship,

role just because he trusts her and he knows that anything that she's talking to him about is -- has to do with his own best interest. and that's what i always saw. she really never initiated any policy and she wasn't particularly interested in it. but she did have -- people knew how much influence she had on the president and so, they would come to her and make their case hoping that she would tell the president about it. >> right. bob, you once asked about her influence on the policymaking? >> yeah, i asked her about putting the right people around her husband. and getting rid of those who turned out not to be right. i said about policy, was there any area you took an interest in? >> oh no, ronnie had his ideas, his beliefs. he was hard to change.

maybe that small russia thing. major initiative of the whole ronald reagan political -- >> opening with gorbachev. >> anticommunism. and then the opening with gorbachev. working together, really promoted and worked around some of the hard-liners of the administration, i think she had -- she wanted her husband to be seen as a peacemaker not as a warmonger. >> and sheila, as we talk about the influence of nancy reagan, we have to talk about one of the greatest impacts, people talk about how she brought glamour back to the white house. back in the day, she was criticized for that as well. how did she handle her critics? >> well, i think she knew she was in for it. for example, when she ordered the new -- as ronald reagan called it -- the new dishes. for the white house, she knew

for it. you know, so they went out and they got a private foundation to donate the money when she redecorated the white house, she got contributions from individuals, but even that created some controversy and she knew she wanted to do it and she was willing to take the heat for it. i think that's probably the best way to describe it. >> which led to that famous secondhand rose moment. >> oh, man, that was great. well, that came in the second year. helen thomas came to see me and she said, you know, we're going to do a piece about nancy reagan and we were wondering if you'd consider having her make a little cameo appearance of some kind. i said, we'll think about that.

the song they were going to do and i -- i talked to -- what i did, i did the reverse of her, i went to mike deaver and jim baker and all the people i knew at the time, david gergen, and asked, would you support this? they said, absolutely. then i got landon, a wonderful speechwriter and he and i sat down and worked out the lyrics, she said, i'll not only do this, i'll dress up and she put a whole routine together and it was the most amazing night i ever spent in washington, because you could actually feel attitudes toward her change. >> she killed it that night. sheila tate, thank you. and bob, thank you. >> let's go outside to rob. beautiful day here. we got people from virginia. huge contingent from texas. we were vail, colorado, last week.

>> watch this. this is going to be the biggest air you have seen all day. are you kidding me! >> are you kidding me is that right. that's shaun white. nobody does it better. the flying tomato just stomping every landing. there's the mctwist. that was a lot of fun. more snow coming. tahoe's getting it first. southern sierras a couple of feet there. it will get out to vail, beaver creek and aspen as well. that's the latest on the weather across t good morning jayyon is shaking. showers possible this afternoon. winds west southwest about 5-10 miles per hour. a little rain this aaternoon
