whit johnson joins us from new york with what's ahead. >> good morning.ing up here on "gma," blackouts and boiling temperatures. 29 states grappling with dangerous heat. hundreds of thousands without power. rob marciano has the latest on when to expect relief. >>> a show of force, iran releases gripping new video, commandos seizing a british oil tanker, conflict continuing to escalate. how the trump administration is now responding. >>> finally a hero's welcome. a familiar meets the construction workers who saved their children from a burning building. an emotional reunion and face of courage in danger. that's all ahead on "gma." >>> yesterday marked 50 years since man landed on the moon. the bay area played a pivotal role. a look back on the "uss hornet" in alameda. >> one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. >> 50 years ago the nation stopped as they watched buzz aldrin and neil armstrong walk on the moon. >> the courage, blows me away. >> navy veteran tom trudell, among thousands that came aboard "uss hornet", the ship that picked up three a

does he have whit supremacy in side of him? y he does. the question is do you allow it to triumph and do you allow it to overflow? brother trump he's relatively unsuccessful in this regard when it comes to xenophobia, women, blacks, mexican, muslims and so forth, but as human beings we're all wrestling with this on the inside, but most importantly, when you look at the bernie sanders campaign, what do you see? major contributors, walmart workers. major contributor, teachers, biden, harris, buttigieg, major contributors, elites those at the top. it's a very different orientation. we are witnessing the awake edge of poor and working people of all colors coming together in solidarity to save the democracy given the pathology in the white house. >> let me ask you about senator kamala harris and a plan she put forward today. she is proposing $100 billion plan to help african-american homeowners that would provide grants of up to $25,000 to help cover down payments and closing costs for homeowners in red line communities. it would better enforc

with so many people in the field, i do wonder seeing this for pete buttigieg is some sign that the whit ling of the field on the democratic side is going to happen sooner than a lot of folks thought. a lot of folks thought the debates in the fall was going to whittle them down. if he's pulling in $25 million, there is a limit to how much money is out there. >> money is extremely important and it gives you the leg to keep going and it gives you the possibility to extend the campaign even if you suffer some sort of setback or defeat. it doesn't guarantee victory. remember at this .4 years ago jeb bush had a record, a $14 million for his campaign and his super pac and then donald trump jumped in the campaign and jeb bush was a nobody suddenly. so we're still very early in the process and i think it's important that you have this money, but you have to have a message that goes along with it. money is good, message is better. if you have money and message, then you're on fire. >> money keeps you in, message is what keeps you going. great to see you, thanks so much. arlette, thanks so much fo
