a new shocking police shooting sparking outrage overnight. a 47-year-old therapist gunned down, his hands in the air lying on his back. his patient with autism sitting nearby. what the victim is saying this morning from his hospital bed. california to new jersey on alert this morning for what could be the hottest temperatures in years. topping 100 degrees. the president issues a warning as the life-threatening heat wave moves east. >> announcer: live from cleveland, ohio, this is a special edition of "good morning america." "your voice, your vote," the republican national convention. and good morning, america. from cleveland we know it's hot for so many of you today and, boy, was it hot in this convention hall last night. the most electric moment yet of this convention. >> yeah, let's take a look at it. former candidate ted cruz booed offstage after he refused to publicly endorse donald trump and trump watching it all from the wings. >> trump walked in in

few seconds of the cruz speech after cruz said not vote for donald trump but vote for condiabetes. he knew what he was doing and trying to stare him down a little bit and it wasn't his only dramatic entrance of the day. check this out, as well. he actually buzzed a ted cruz rally with his plane right there. he knew what he was doing there, as well. it was all about the entrances this week for donald trump so far. we remember that smoke on monday night. >> yes, hard to forget. >> tonight the most important one he's got to give that speech and when i sat -- went to his suite yesterday to talk about this in our interview he seemed ready for it but knows it's a big challenge. >> what kind of mood was he in. >> pretty great. pretty mellow for donald trump. i think he's been enjoying this week but there has been a lot of controversy on this convention floor. >> there certainly has and tom llamas has been standing by for all of it there for it last night. good morning to you. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. i was right there just steps from senator ted cruz when he entered the

the crowd was loving his speech every moment of it until they realized this speech was not about donald trump. overnight, an incredible moment at the republican national convention. senator ted cruz launching a one-man mutiny not endorsing trump and getting booed offstage. >> and god bless the united states of america. >> reporter: the problem started when cruz said this -- >> stand and speak and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the constitution. >> reporter: the new york delegation leading the charge against cruz with boos and chants of we want trump. >> we want trump, we want trump. >> i appreciate the enthusiasm of the new york delegation.

spreading to other states and as cruz faced down a tidal wave of hecklers, donald trump entering the convention hall. cruz making a quick exit. this video shows cruz's wife heidi in the yellow dress forced to leave the convention floor as things started to get ugly. the headline this morning, "civil war." trump supporters like governor chris christie were sickened by the speech. >> it was an awful, selfish speech by someone who tonight through the words he said on that stage showed everybody why he has richly earned the reputation he has on capitol hill. >> reporter: cruz who we caught up with last night disagrees. >> i feel very encouraged by the very warm reception. >> reporter: cruz's day of reckoning at the convention follows a long year where he faced endless taunts from trump. >> you know i say he walks in with a bible held high, he walks in, it's lying

up, puts it down and then he starts to lie. >> reporter: with all this bad blood why did the trump campaign let him take the stage? trump tweeting, wow, ted cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge. i saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway. no big deal. donald trump jr. explaining his dad wasn't going to prevent a fellow republican from speaking. >> you see this room, when people like to make the story and create the dialogue about disun t. the best unity i saw was everyone booing him off the stage. >> reporter: trump's youngest eric took his turn on stage last night delivering an impassioned speech on behalf of his father despite repeated technical glitches which left him speaking in front of a dark screen. >> vote for the candidate who can't be bought, sold, purchased, bribed, coerced, intimidated or steered from the path that is right and just and true. [ cheers and applause ]

vote for the one candidate who does not need this job. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: the cruz party foul overshadowing governor mike pence's powerful and endearing speech to the convention. >> we have but one choice and that man is ready. this team is ready. our party is ready and when we elect donald trump, the 45th president of the united states, together we will make america great again. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: and the night ending on an awkward moment. watch as donald trump tries to give mike pence an air kiss. those air kisses can always be a little awkward. let's get back to that cruz moment after the convention last night hillary clinton took to twitter essentially quoting cruz's speech saying vote your conscience and early this morning ted cruz sending out a note t

fund-raising e-mail. amy and george. >> looking ahead. let's admit air kisses are always awkward here with our political team and get to last night and a lot more in a minute. right now to my exclusive interview with donald trump. he opened up about that firestorm over melania's speech. what he needs to do tonight and how it felt to be over the top by his kids. take us back to that moment, all your kids up there putting you over the top. >> congratulations, dad. we love you. >> reporter: more proud of them or yourself. >> maybe more proud of them. it was so beautiful to see and the arena was unbelievable, the excitement. >> how do you keep it going? what's the job you have to do. >> i'm talking about trade. i'm talking about law and order and talking about borders. i'll be talking about many different thing, our country has a lot of problems. we're weak in so many different ways and i think i'll be basically using the same message and giving the same message, george, that i've been talking about for a long time. >> we haven't heard a lot of your big applause lines at

nothing about the ban on muslim immigration. >> there has to be a temporary ban. >> nothing about the border wall paid by mexico. >> we'll build a wall. we have to. we have to. >> are you going to talk about that -- >> you'll be hearing a lost things tomorrow. i vrnths spoken yet. >> speech done? >> just about, yeah, just about. >> a lot of people here think you're going to have to evolve as you go into the general election. that's what newt gingrich told me. do you buy that? >> look, i am who i am. i'm a very honest person. i think that my message is a good message. it got me here. we had almost 14 million votes. that's more votes than anybody in the history of the republican party. there's something happening, george, and people are tired of what's going on. they're tire -- sick and tired of what's going on. >> you plowed through the primary field but what's the unfinished business for the gener general? >> 60% still think you're unqualified. how do you bring that down. >> i think i'm very qualified but don't forget hillary is spending hundreds of

ads. you know what i spent so far? nothing, nothing. bi -- >> not till after her convention. >> i don't want to waste money this early. like a racehorse. a racehorse way back and -- i'm not looking to do anything now but we're raising a lot of money, 51 million last month and i put in a lot of money. i'm over 60 million i put in. i spent 3.8 million last month. >> are you going to spend more -- >> oh, yeah, this is an important thing for the country. >> how about this speech by melania? we learned today someone who works for you, meredith mciver, offered her resignation. why not accept it? weren't you angry? >> she's been with me a long time, a good person. she came to see me she hated to see the conflict and she made a mistake and you know, people make mistakes. you've made mistakes. we all make mistakes and i think it's terrific how she came forward and say, look, it was a mistake i made and she thought it was unfair t

treated her well because they didn't think it was her. >> how is she handling all this? >> it's a different world. you know, it's a different world. who would ever think that to this extent no matter where you move, no matter where you breathe it's like a big deal but she handles it well. she is a strong woman. she is a good woman. i thought she made an incredible speech and i thought -- >> she had that hall. >> she had that hall. totally had that hall and now that cloud is lifted off her which is terrific because it was very unfair. i think it was very unfair although i will say the media, they did not think she had actually think she had anything to do with it. >> amazing entrance, emerged out of the smoke and the helicopter today. how do you top it? >> you're going to stay tuned and be there. you will definitely be there. i'm not looking for entrance, george. i'm looking for a good, really a good grouping of words that's going to talk about our country and the problems that we have. we have deep problems.

problems so it's not about the entrance. it's about the words and it's about getting the words done and the only way we're going to get that taken care of is we have to in november do very well. >> i was with you the day you announced. little more than a year ago. did you ever believe on that day you'd be standing here right now as the nominee of the republican party. >> you know, george, this is beyond what i would have even assumed. but people have asked me the question and i guess the answer has to be yes or i don't think i would have done it. i mean i don't play to lose so i assume i thought somewhere deep down that i was going to do well. >> still thinks he's going to win in november as well. big night for him tonight. we will talk about that and all the drama last night as well with our political team donna brazile, matthew dowd and jon karl. and, jon, that was a few hours before ted cruz came out, didn't endorse. you saw the anger on donald trump's face when he walked in to that hall last night. he knew exactly what he was doing. but this drama is n

wanted last night. >> look, it completely overshadows a very strong speech and a unifying speech by mike pence. it overshadows a very strong speech by his son eric trump. but donald trump knew this would happen. ted cruz spoke to him on monday and told him he would not be endorsing him. they had the speech at least two hours before cruz took that stage. >> so, matt, is ted cruz an outlier or is the republican party that divided? >> well, to me this was political theater at its finest. almost shakes sparian in the course of it and i think differently. it's like julius caesar but donald trump turned it around and instead of et tu, brute, it was cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. this is his party and ted cruz walked into his party and turned over the chairs. >> unified party? >> no, george, first of all, there's a large park called freedom plaza and last night donald trump should have said, ted, why don't you go to freedom plaza and give that speech. this is a battle for the soul of

trump needs the party behind him so he can pivot the party last night, basically is not ready. >> we saw hillary clinton taking advantage of that in her tweet of what happened last night with cruz. >> who knew that hillary clinton can tweet at the proper time? >> donald trump will get a bump from last night's events. he will get a bump -- >> we've been replaying the primary. it starts with john kasich and ends here with a fight with ted cruz. i mean, this is not a unifying convention. >> and a vanquished foe is laying on the stage. that's going to benefit donald trump. >> in the long term it may benefit donald trump but when you need the entire republican party unified to go into the general election, they're walking out of this convention -- >> 90% are behind him. >> not ready to reach -- >> actually coming into tonight, coming into the week about 82%. you're banking on -- >> yes. >> let's talk about what he needs to do tonight. so far in the convention we've heard from his kids about him,

heard too much about what he's going to do as president. what are the big three things he needs to do in this speech tonight. >> the total success of a convention is going to be -- is bound by tonight. either rise or fall in a convention based on the speech of the nominee of the party tonight. the pressure is all on donald trump in the course of this. i think it's less of a series of specific issues but more question be genuine and make a turn to where people start seeing him, not republican, i think that's done and moving on as to independent voters out of there, can he begin to bring a message that i see him in the oval office. >> jon karl, can he do that and still fire up his base with those signature lines we showed that worked for him in the primary. >> donald trump knows that this is the most important speech of this convention, the most important speech of the campaign, the most important speech of his political life and the challenge here is being able to do that. he has been practicing this, george, i am told for weeks. donald trump doesn't do a lot of practicing of anything. he has been working on this

he wants america to be able to look up there and envision him as president of the united states. >> stop preaching to the choir because that's what the republicans like to do. start looking at the congregation. if he can get away from the t e teleprompter and tell america here's how we solve problem, otherwise i won't be seen as a problem solver but somebody who starts problems. >> does he try to appeal to independents tonight. >> he has to. he has to turn as donna said turn the choir to the pews. >> thanks, guys. you'll all be here with us. >> the democratic convention kicks off on monday and hillary clinton is expected to announce her rupps mate any day now. abc's cecilia vega has the latest on all of that in miami and, cecilia, we have heard a lot of names mentioned over the past few weeks but clinton does appear to be narrowing her list. >> reporter: well, it seems like she's narrowing the list, amy, but i'll tell you this process has been shrouded in secrecy. hillary clinton in recent days

contenders and sources tell me recent events here at home and abroad had her shift her focus in terms of what she's looking for and now looking for someone with a significant amount of national security experience, so let's talk about many so of these names. right now among the possible picks labor secretary tom perez, agriculture secretary tom vilsack, he is a longtime clinton friend. but, amy, this morning the name that seems to be rising to the top of the pack is virginia senator tim kaine. he is on the senate armed services committee and foreign relations committee, amy, he also speaks spanish. that's a huge plus for hillary clinton in terms of that latino demographic she wants to win going into november. >> all right, cecilia, what about the timing? what can we expect to hear something from hillary on this? >> reporter: we're told she could appear with whoever her pick ends up being right here in florida at some point over the next couple of days. would be a big rally likely friday, maybe saturday,

convention, for sure. >> all right, cecilia vega, thank you so much. thousand to some breaking news affecting the summer olympics. a major setback for russia in the wake of a widespread doping scandal. today the highest ames court in international sports upheld a decision banning the russian track and field team from the rio games next month ruling that a collective ban is valid analysts say it increases the likelihood that the international olympic committee will ban all russian athletes from the summer games and that decision could come sunday. russian president vladimir putin has warned banning russia from the games could split the entire olympic movement. and, well, this is a turn just when you thought the pokemon go craze couldn't get bigger, it did. 9,000 players invaded san francisco for a pokemon crawl featuring food and drink specials and dance parties. the organizer had a good tip for players warning them not to run into trees and parking meters, always, always good to remember that. the game continues to raise safety concern, however, take a look a

video from a police body camera shows an suv crashing into a parked police cruiser. the driver admits he was not paying attention because he was playing pokemon go and look at this. in new jersey a woman actually got stuck up in a tree trying to catch a pokemon. we are not making this up. >> hey, you have to be making this up. >> i'm not making it up, george. >> okay. i thought it was crazy here in the convention. okay, back to ginger in new york. boy, this heat is something. >> george, amy, perhaps we can stop pokemon go with this because you're not going to want to go outdoors and catch any pokemon. the heat advisories, when it gets to dangerous levels so the heat warning, anyone that is highlighted in pink from illinois back to minnesota, iowa, it's not just the numbers in the 90s but when you add the dew point and mid to upper 70s, that humidity level that will make it feel like 113 in des moines or 115 in minneapolis, kansas city, 108 and moves east. here we get it by saturday afternoon.

friday - near record highs saturday through monday - feels like 105+ today: mostly sunny. a touch warmer and more humid. highs: 88-92 winds: s 5 mph tonight: mainly clear and mild. lows: 67-72 winds: s 5 mph friday: partly cloudy. hotter and more humid. highs: 93-97 feels: 100 winds: sw 5-10 mph

board and more of today's top stories. our whole team of insiders standing by including matt dowd right here with me. you're back in a minute with us. first we want to get to that computer fwlich that left hundreds of southwest air mine flights and passengers grounded all across the nation. a lot took to twitter with their complaints and happened as an intense heat wave is set to grip the country. it could affect travel over the next few days.

george hobica joins us with this. >> this is not rare and happened before to southwest and happened about four types in the last few years to united and american airlines. it happens a lot more than you might think. >> well, i mean how does this happen, george, in this day and age in 2016 a computer glitch or whatever, a snafu, whatever they're saying and how can it be prevented? >> amy, you'd think that the airlines would have their act together but their technology is so ole and been losing money for many years, and they haven't invested in technology enough. if you ever go to an airport you see they're clicking on -- old-fashioned keyboards and don't even have a mouse to move around. like 1960s technology. >> how much of a difference is the heat wave going to make with travel? >> believe it or not, after a certain temperature, airplanes cannot take off for aerodynamic reasons or engines don't function the same way and have to have a longer runway and may cancel flights and/or kick people off planes to make it lighter so it can take off. >> all right.

over the next couple of days, george. >> oh, yeah. >> thank you very much. >> sure. turn now to florida where health department officials are investigating what could be the first case of locally spread zika virus in the continental united states and dr. richard besser joins us now from outside the cdc and, rich, it's believed that the patient in question has not traveled anywhere outside of the united states so ruled out other factors so what does this mean for the spread of zika? >> well, you know, if the infection wasn't picked up by travel and if it wasn't picked up by having sex with someone who traveled, it could represent the first case of zika that was spread locally from a mosquito. this issing that local public health has been look for and we have the mosquito that can transmit it in many parts of the country. hopefully with aggressive action they'll prevent further spread. >> what are they doing about this, the florida department of health? >> well, you know, they're doing a lot more investigative work to determine whether or not it was spread by mosquitoes or some other way. i talked to

on that. they're taking aggressive action and taken steps to reduce mosquitoes by spraying. they're testing more mosquitoes. they're passing out zika prevention kits with condoms and repel apartment and information sheets. hopefully those step also help reduce spread if it's being spread by a local mosquito. >> how alarmed are you by this? >> this is something we expected and, you know, it's a good time, a good reminder for people, use repel apartment if you're in areas where mosquito are spreading. make sure your screens are repaired and get rid of any free standing water that could breed more. those things could help. >> what are you saying about travel now as we head into the summer both here in the united states and overseas? >> well, you know, if you're going south to brazil and the olympic games it's a low season for mosquito. if you're going to the southern united states, if you're going to the caribbean, it's high time for mosquitoes so you have to look to see where you're going and take proper precautions. there are things can you do to reduce your risk and,

pregnant women. for other people, this is a very minor infection. >> okay, thank you, rich. thanks for joining us today. now as we wind down here in cleveland the republican convention a lot of celebs like lena dunham and demi lovato announcing they'll speak at the democratic national convention next week and matthew dowd is here with u. as well. always a little, you know, arms war, arms race with the celebrities at the conventions. who is wining? >> well, i think we're seeing a celebritization of our culture and politics in the course of this and fascinated by four years ago we had a politician sarah palin become a reality tv star celebrity. now this year we have a reality tv star celebrity becoming a politician and leader of the gop primary. i think it has two effects. a multiplier effect. they have celebrities and a large audience and able to spread your message wider. the second thing unlike a lot of us who are very interested in politic, there's a lot of voters out there who connect only in different ways and not necessarily through the intensity of some sub stand

the politicians to get in the living room in a different way of passive voters. >> can it be warned? having a celebrity endorse you sometimes creates a negative effect. >> one can be that you become part of the hollywood culture and for the working class, middle class folks out there they don't want you to be part of the hollywood culture but saw an insententance in 2012 speaki an empty chair. was not well received and didn't help the convention process at all. >> completely ad-libbed that speech. nobody knew what was coming. kind of amazing. how about political star power, though. one of the things we've seen at the republican convention, the trump family were stars every single night capped off by donald trump, very different at the democratic convention next week. you'll have the president of the united states, the first lady of the united states, the vice president, former president bill clinton, they've got the political stars out there. >> oh i think it's a huge dramatic difference as you say. the democrats, it's all political leadership and people that havera

life in politics. for the republicans now it's a family that's never been in politics this way who have become part of the celebrity culture and presented themselves as the new leadership to take on the old traditional political style of the country. >> very different. >> yeah. >> thanks very much. >> matt, thanks. thanks to dr. besser and george, as well. coming up next, kissing at the convention. could a lip lock on stage make or break a campaign? and what will happen when donald trump and melania take the stage tonight? we'll be right back.

lewinsky scandal. a lot of questions about the clinton white house and al gore and tipper gore took it upon themselves to prove their bond was real. that was a very real moment. i think he jumped eight points that night. >> also he was the guy at the time as we know who was stiff. they were like this guy can't be off the cuff. he's too robotic and that showed right there that he was willing to go for it. >> people want to see authenticity. that's a way to do it. can you be trusted. >> do they practice these thing, george. >> you know, until i saw that ted cruz thing i had never seen a practice before. >> wow. well, apparently they do. >> marriage folks have to practice sometimes. >> out of t.j.'s mouth. when we come back the very latest on the day's big headlines and we have some diet sabotages? could your salad have as much fat as a cheeseburger? apparently, yes. ♪ it's a tangle of multiple symptoms.

'taking us behind the scenes with our young abc team embedded with the candidates 24/7. >> all due respect to tom llamas and cecilia vega, they do great covering the campaign, they ain't got nothing on these kids. they're young, motivated and they are exhausted because they accepted air job that the only job description was, go everywhere donald trump goes. the long road leading to the republican national convention paved with sleepless nights. >> sleeping is impossible covering this

>> reporter: countless events. >> i'm actually here at a town hall for carly fiorina. >> reporter: and thousands of miles traveled. >> i will cover donald trump for about 400 days. >> reporter: and behind every white house hopeful is a dedicated abc news reporter following their every move. >> being out on the road as a campaign embed means you have to be prepared for any mishaps that can happen. >> reporter: getting a rare glimpse behind the curtain. >> today my campaign is suspended. >> reporter: and as the other candidates have fallen by the wayside. >> i suspend my campaign today. >> reporter: one remains, donald trump. so we turn to our reporters that know him better than anyone else to learn the behind-the-scenes secrets to trump's success. >> before trump gets onstage he'll wait for certain songs to get into the playlist. ♪ we are the champions he's very good at knowing how to build that momentum. >> so by now we all know about donald trump's tweeting habits. during the day he dictates them to a secretary. a spokeswoman or social

director but at night donald trump takes control back and puts them out himself. that's when he's prone to get into the most trouble. when he's greeting fans on the rope line he has a few hand expressions he does. often he'll point to someone like he knows them, give a thumbs up and wave to the crowd like a foreign dignitary and the people who are there at the rallies love it. they often cheer and will chant his name to no end. >> he's the workhorse and he's the oldest person on that gigantic trump force one traveling the country. he's up the latest, up the earliest working the hardest. you have staffers on his plane who have often said we try to sleep a little but he's still going. >> i find every day exciting. every day has been different covering this race. ♪ >> and look at them here now. both in -- mid to late 20s but next birthday they'll both be 43. >> gray hair to go with it. >> here they are. >> welcome. yo

all year long, we were there together june 167th i think it was. >> day one. >> day one at trump tower. that crazy crowd there. i'll be the first to admit the day i interviewed donald trump that day i thought there was no chance he would be the republican nominee. you saw him say, somewhere in his mind he must have believed it was possible. but when did it hit you? >> september of the we had a big rally down in dallas. he took over the stadium down there, basketball arena. and as soon as you walked in there, you know, you saw the trump signs up on center court and you see the crowd going at him and i just remember looking around and saying, wow, this is -- this is real. this could be a thing and you talk to people and you see their energy and their enthusiasm when they're out. they're with him and look where we are. i mean we would never have thought this. this is the first debate we're sitting in right now in cleveland and here we are at the convention. he's the nominee. >> candace, you actually started out with the jeb bush campaign, switched over to donald trump, was there a bit of a

>> oh, my gosh. i remember my very first event that i covered with donald trump in radford, virginia, and this is when the protests were still hot and heavy and people were getting taken out and people were shouting at other people and i remember this young woman was protesting and trump looked at her and he asked her if she's mexican. i remember sitting there like, oh, this is a very different world that i've crossed into. very different from jeb bush. >> and in some ways your experience is the opposite of john's. you signed in with jeb bush. has $200 million. everybody thinks he's going to be -- >> i thought this was going to be the jeb bush convention, for sure. i thought i was going all the way. >> when did it hit you it wasn't happening? >> probably not until january, honestly, i think maybe until after iowa when you realize sort of how far he was down and in napolitano, he was so excited just to have eked out marco rubio and the fact that that was what you were getting excited about doesn't bode well for your campaign and by september, there were even moments you thought there might be a resurgence. we would go and he would have 500 people which

was a huge crowd, nothing compared to trump but for us we're like, wow, he's really coming back and his brother w. came out on the trail and there was a time we thought maybe he could pull this off but after south carolina we saw the returns, we all knew and obviously he did too because that very night, that was the end. >> i want to ask you guys personally. i mean i know -- i understand you're actually getting married. >> i am. >> you still have a fiancee after this. >> you know, i don't know how. i mean, we've had fun together. when we were traveling around the country, george knows this sending little gifts along the way, postcards, i had to improve the writing for our invites. maria is doing most of the work. >> let that go. >> he's losing -- >> three times already. >> -- addresses. >> she's there. when you do this job, you know, you give your life to the campaign. candace and i are a great team. but, you know to, have people supporting us,he

and the great support of abc, we couldn't do this job -- >> you guys have both done a fantastic job. thanks for coming on today. you guys will be part of our convention coverage again tonight. of course, we'll be there again tonight, "world news," special edition of "world news" and "nightline" plus our network special 10:00 p.m. eastern and you get the latest news any time at abcnews.com. livestreaming it as well but now let's go back to new york and ginger. >> george, i love seeing candace and john at that desk. that was so fun. okay, so this is my new friend belinda from -- >> bolivar, tennessee. >> she said the heat here is nothing. well, guess what, the heat is rapid city, south dakota, did this. they were cooking cookies in a parking lot. the temperatures were the in 100s, the air temperature then you add that and the heat index was much above it. that's the case, that dangerous heat moving to the east. the heat advisories and warnings in the center of the nation. that is the big picture. - near saturday through monday - feels like 105+ today: mostly sunny. a touch warmer and more humid. highs: 88-92

this role. >> you know what really drew me was, "a," being in a "star trek" film. it's a big franchise. when i was a kid i was watching "star trek" 11 years old before i was an arc or wanted to act so to be asked to be in a "star trek" film and be a villain was like an honor and then i wanted to do the prosthetic thing. >> you can't tell it's you. >> it's an improvement. >> no, i doubt that because a lot of the producers here said, why would you cover such a beautiful face? but how is it acting with prostheticsy is it different. >> yeah, definitely. i mean, you know, you obviously are moving your face but your face on the exterior isn't moving the way you think it is. >> what do you do, get in the mirror and -- >> yeah. >> see how it works. it takes a little while to get used to b. you know and the head is big, huge, it took me four hours to put that thing on every day. >> all these rumors you playing james bond. any news. >> no,

wildest rumor in the world. >> it's a good rumor, though. >> it's -- i keep saying if it were to happen it would be the will of a nation because there's not been no talks with me and the studios about any of that but everywhere i go people want that to happen so -- but if i'm really honest, man, i think i'm too old for that, man. i can't be running around in cars and ladies and martinis. who wants to do that? sounds terrible. >> if you don't want it, i'll take it. i'll take it. i don't have an accent. i'm horrible at accents. you and i have a lot in common. we're both handsome. [ laughter ] why is everybody laughing including you? i don't get it. we have an excellent sense of style and we both have clothing lines. >> oh. >> yeah. >> and you are working with super dry. what made you get into the fashion business? >> i had an opportunity basically. i like super dry and it just cool, comfortable clothes and they were like, look, do you want to

they wanted to do something a little more subtle. i like subtle and so what i'm wearing now we decided to do some stuff that's really nice fabrics, affordable, looks good. >> you were so kind to help us out here at "gma" because we have a lot of crew here. you were kind enough to dress them and here they are before. look at that. that's the guys and now here they are with the "absolutely famous" they've been idrised up, everybody. >> boom. >> hold on. look at the swagger you gave them. they got swagger now. >> they look good. i think -- i mean the tweed jacket looks amazing there and, you know, the bombers, well done, fellas. i'm proud. i'm proud of you. >> you have to give those clothes back. they're not yours. make sure that happens but, hey, thank you so much, man. >> thank you, mike. >> good luck with everything.
