Now to the nfl and players agreeing to coronavirus testing protocols after some of the biggest names in the game blasted the leagues planning for the opening of Training Camp. Janai norman joins us now from outside nfl headquarter here in new york. Good morning, janai. Reporter hey, michael. Good morning. Yeah, nfl players and the Players Union have been at odds over how to bring players safely into Training Camp, but this morning one issue perhaps the most important issue is now agreed upon. According to a memo obtained by espn, players will be tested every day for the first two weeks of Training Camp then theyll be tested every other day. If at any point the Positivity Rate is above 5 , daily testing will resume. This is a compromise. The players wanted daily testing while owners preferred every other day, and another big issue that may be on its way to being resolved. Espn has learned the league offered to scrap all preseason games. This is something thatted players wanted. Now, the league possibly feeling pressure from a coordinated social Media Campaign over the weekend. A tweet storm from players including Russell Wilson and super bowl mvp Patrick Mahomes who tweeted hoping the nfl will come to an agreement with the safe and right protocols so we can feel protected playing the sport we love.

No is beautiful pure leaf. When we first met. I thought youd control every part of me. Overwhelm me. Define me. But i found a way to give myself more space. I met ocrevus, an infusion treatment thats two times a year. For adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective in reducing relapses in rms, and slowing disability progression in rms and ppms. Dont take ocrevus if youve had a life threatening allergic reaction to it, or if you have hepatitis b. Tell your doctor about vaccinations or if youve had hep b, as it could come back. Ocrevus can cause infusion reactions that may require hospitalization. It can increase your risk of infections. While no cases of pml were reported in clinical trials, it could happen. An increased risk of cancer, including Breast Cancer, may exist. Infusion reactions and infections are the most common side effects. Sorry, ms. You dont get to control every part of me. Ms cant own us. Ask your doctor about 2timesayear ocrevus. You try to stay ahead of the but scrubbing still takes time.

A possible sign that the bubble idea might actually be holding after all. And in our next hour, were going to actually go inside that bubble with philadelphia 76ers rookie Matisse Thybulle. Going to be a fun conversation to have. We begin with that kentucky couple speaking out after being put under house arrest when they refused to sign an isolation order after one of them tested positive for covid19. They now say they were planning to quarantine and trevor ault joins us with more. Good morning, trevor. Reporter well, good morning, michael. So this is raising questions about how far the government can and will go if they think youre a Public Health threat. This family says theyre being treated like criminals, but the Health Department told a judge to fight the spread of the virus they had to be kept at home. This morning, a kentucky family says their covid19 quarantine feels more like a prison sentence. You dont get an ankle monitor unless youre convicted of a crime or waiting for trial. Reporter Elizabeth Linscott said when she tested positive earlier this month the Health Department asked her to sign these documents saying she, her husband and her daughter would isolate at home for 14 days updating the Health Department on their symptoms every day and contacting medical officials beforehand if they had to go to the hospital. I said, i have no problem with selfquarantining. I said, but if i have to leave my house to get an a necessity for an emergency, im going to do that without your prior consent. Reporter linscott declined the agreement writing in part its my right and freedoms to go where i please and not have to answer to anyone for it. She said shed do her best to stay home and avoid the elderly but added there is no pandemic. The Health Director citing the threat of the virus then requested a judge order the family to quarantine informing the family theyd been ordered to wear Location Tracking ankle monitors ensuring they stay home. Like, were not wearing those ankle monitoring, dude. We didnt do nothing wrong. Reporter the Sheriffs Office confirms deputies were on hand to inform the family of the judgess order but distanced themselves from the decision saying in a statement, we have no open cases nor have we had any cases involving the enforcement of a failure to isolate for positive covid19 testing. The linscott family says theyre receiving messages criticizing them for not complying, but they stand by their decision. If youre so scared please just you stay home, because i cant put my life on pause because youre scared. Reporter so this family says this they have been wronged and theyre threatening to go all the way to the Supreme Court to make it right. Of course, right now they are waiting it out at home. Cecilia. Okay, trevor. Thank you so much. We turn to kanye west. A twitter rant claiming his wife Kim Kardashian wants to lock him up. This, of course, on the heels of that weekend speech that left many questioning his wellbeing. Diane macedo is here with more on this. Good morning, diane. Reporter cecilia, good morning.

The tweet referencing a comment he made at his first president ial Campaign Event in South Carolina on sunday. I almost killed my daughter. Reporter claiming he became prolife after conversations with Kim Kardashian west during her first pregnancy. She said she was pregnant and for one month and two months and three months we talked about her not having this child. Reporter kanye says it was kim who ultimately insisted on keeping the baby. But even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought north into the world even when i didnt want to. She stood up and she protected that child. Reporter kanye also tweeted to motherinlaw kris jenner she will not be allowed to see his children. West is currently at his ranch in wyoming while his wife and family are in california.

The artist has stirred up controversy with other rants before. His recent behavior now raising concerns for the rapper who has also been open about managing his bipolar disorder in the past. When youre in the state youre hyper, paranoid about everything. Everyone now is an actor. Everything is a conspiracy. You see everything. You feel the government is putting chips in your head. You feel youre being recorded. You feel all of these things. Reporter kanye has since deleted the tweets about his wife and motherinlaw instead saying he is going to focus on the music. Cecilia.

Were back with the heat wave gripping parts of the country this morning and the potential impact on the coronavirus pandemic. Many people are running their air conditioners nonstop, but some are concerned air condition cog actually help the virus spread. Our becky worley joins us now from San Francisco to explain. Hey, becky, good morning. Reporter good morning, whit. Covid19 is spiking in some of the hottest parts of the country so many people are wondering, is it safe to turn on the ac and cool down . The heat is on. Cooling centers now open. Its extremely hot. Reporter temperatures skyrocketing but the relief of ac suddenly a worry. This scenario in china. Nine people in the direct part of an air conditioners blower became infected, but those out of its air stream did not. If its blowing the virus in a specific pattern and youre downwind of somebody indoors, then it could blow it farther than six feet. Reporter but with temperatures dangerously high in many susceptible to heatrelated illness, what can you do . If youre not at risk and have no great volume of contact with the outside world there is not a lot that you really need to do. Just run the airconditioning system. Reporter but if you must have people inside, Infectious Disease doctors say open doors and windows and run the fan mode for a few hours before and after visitors. Next precaution, think about your ac filter. Its a really good idea to change that and clean it if its cleanable or change it and put a clean one in if its removable. Reporter this man is on the task force and he says replace your existing airconditioning filter with a compatible one that removes the most particles and the smallest particles. He recommends something called the merv 13 standard. Advice to stay safe and stay cool. Hvac experts we talked to said window ac units often have vents that can bring in some fresh air, but the filters in those and in portable airconditioning units are generally not fine enough for the removal of those tiny virus particles. Theyre meant more to kept dog hair and insects out of the machinery. Also, everyone we talked to said air purifiers can help if you have someone in your house who is sick or a Frontline Worker who is selfquarantining, whit. Its all great information but what about people driving around out there in taxis and ubers in a tight space on a hot day . Any tips for keeping passengers and drirsve safe . Reporter yeah, you know, having the windows open and everyone Wearing Masks is best but on these super hot days if you are running the ac, experts say make sure that recirculation option is off. This way the car is getting fresh air in all the time instead of reusing air from inside that could have virus droplets from one of the passengers. All right. Great info, becky. Thank you so much. Thats the button with the arrow that goes inside the car. Get the fresh air in the vehicle. Clean it out. We appreciate that. Coming up later, we have more on the new front in the battle over schools. Stevers and parents now suing to stop reopenings in that and up next, we have our play of the day.

The rookie basketball card for lebron james. Guys it just sold at auction for 1. 8 million. A little piece of cardboard, but this cardboard is special. Its from lebrons first year with the cavs during the 2003 2004 season. This is the highest amount ever paid for a basketball card. The card is especially rare, because it only made the amount of cards, the same amount as the players jersey number. So you guys know thats 23 in lebrons case. The auction house said interest in buying some sports cards has hit an alltime high during the pandemic. People staying at home during quarantine finally having the time to hunt for their old collections. See what theyre worth today. Im not going to lie. I did find my old Baseball Card collection frb 19771978. No winners in there but i did look as well. So the phenomenon is real. Also in the news this morning, andy and thomas have three kids of their own but wanted to help others and became foster parents in 2017 to a little baby boy named bryson, after discovering that he, little bryson, was one of five siblings all in the foster care system but in different homes they ask fundamental they could foster all of them together. It took two years, but they did it. All of those kids who have been separated are now together under one roof officially adopted. 8yearold twins thomas and carter, 6yearold david, 4yearold gabriel and little bryson complete this family of now eight siblings. Andy and thomas telling us the kids have been through a lot, but they are the sweetest, they are amazing, and they are resilient. As you see in that picture they are officially a family. Love that story. Finally, you know, when we all get older, we lose our eyesight just a little bit. It happens to dogs, too. Apparently they also learn not to behave.

I wanted to tell you one more story but sadly weve run out of time. Sending it back to you all in the studio. That was a great pop news. Lara, thank you so much. We are going to turn now to our gma cover story this morning. The battle over returning to the classroom. Florida teachers are fighting back in the covid hot spot state filing lawsuits hoping to block schools from reopening and diane macedo is back with the story. Reporter good morning. These lawsuits come after florida issued an emergency order requiring schools to offer inperson classes. Now as districts announce their individual plans two lawsuits are hoping to block that inperson requirement saying florida schools just arent ready. Katherine hammond says for teachers in orange county, florida, theres only one topic of conversation. Orange county is exploding with covid cases. Its inconceivable i would walk back into a classroom in just a few weeks. Reporter but says thats what shes being asked to do after the orange county, florida, reopen august 21st, both online and in person. I feel like theyre willing to sacrifice teachers, all staff, really, who work in schools and our students as an acceptable Collateral Damage for reopening the economy. Reporter now hammond who is both a teacher and a parent in the district is suing along with fellow parent monique bellaflore. Theyre hoping to prevent schools in the state from requires inperson attendance. Being pregnant i dont feel safe for myself entering the classroom. Reporter the lawsuit alleges that florida Public Schools are unage to meet the guidelines required to safely reopen schools or transport students to school in a safe manner. The district says it does not comment on pending litigation. But hammond and bellaflore arent alone. The florida Education Administration is now also suing state and local Officials Saying in their suit opening without the proper plan, resources and safety precautions inevitably will exacerbate the spread of the virus, jeopardize Public Health and ultimately cause longer closures. Once its falling and we have the resources to safeguard our School Families then and only then should students return to brick and mortar schools. Reporter in a press Conference Monday Governor Ron Desantis said accommodations should be made for students and concerned teachers as needed. Look, these are unique circumstances. Lets be flexible. Reporter hammond and bellafores attorney said its not that simple. The constitution guarantees employees a safe place to work and children have a safe place to go and both these things need to be addressed. Reporter now, the florida education commissioner tells us that the emergency order simply creates options so that families can decide whats best. The governor is now calling for flexibility, and in the meantime, teachers feel like theyre in purgatory, cecilia. Big fight there, thank you so much. Michael. Now more on that abc news exclusive, our oneonone interview with jeopardy host alex trebek. Hes opening up about restarting the iconic game show without an audience and his new memoir the the answer is reflections on my life. And t. J. Holmes sat down with alex trebek and he has more. T. J. Reporter did you know when he first started he insisted they announce him as the host of jeopardy and not the star. He says the contestants are the stars. Did you know when he was a kid he once wanted to leave military school, because he didnt want them to cut his luxurious hair. These are just a couple of tidbits great and small were learning about trebek in a new memoir, a book he never thought hed write. Its the best kind of reality television, i feel. People watch it and if they come up with one or two correct responses in that half hour, they feel pretty good about themselves. Announcer here is the host of jeopardy, alex trebek. Sixday champion with 103,000. Greatest of all time. The new oneday record. Reporter after 36 years coming into our living rooms you think you would know a guy but alex trebek has plenty left to reveal. Why now do you feel like you do have something to offer and its time to write it down . Because i want to be in control of my own story out there. Reporter the longtime jeopardy host is showing fans a side they havent seen in his new memoir the answer is reflections on my life. Theres a decent amount of profanity. Alex trebek curses. Kind of a lot. Yeah, i curse more than i think i do. You talk a lot about the hair in the book. This is not me. And as long as im on chemotherapy, this will always be here when im in public and thats fine. If i were no longer hosting the program, i would not be wearing the hairpiece. Reporter trebek diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer last year wrote the entire book in quarantine in his California Home where hes been since the pandemic began. A cavalier attitude towards this pandemic on the part of our young people especially. Weve lost over 130,000 people and the young people just, hey, if you dont want to catch it dont go out, you know. Huh . What kind of an attitude is that . There isnt enough caring out there as far as im concerned. Reporter no doubt on trebeks mind, jeopardy, the game show hes held for the past 36 seasons and counting. Its a tv show, but its feelgood television. Until next time, folks. So long. You will never walk away from that show, alex. I think i will. Well, maybe i misrepresent myself when i say i will walk away. Maybe i will crawl away. So but still as long as can you do the job you cant find a reason you would ever want to stop doing the job . Correct, you are absolutely right. So, therefore, youre never going to walk away from this show or crawl. Youre an argumentative son of a gun. Arent you . Ive had you up to here. To here. Is there a host in training . Do you have an apprentice . Is there anyone youre getting ready for the role down the road . I have no say whatsoever in who will replace me when my days as the host of jeopardy end. Reporter but if he could choose a replacement rose nyland. I joked and said betty white because they want somebody younger, somebody funnier. She checks all the boxes. She checks all those boxes. Betty and i have been friends for a long, long time. Put into terms what shes fans mean to you, fans of the show. They are the most important elements in my life outside of my family and friends. I cant help but be touched by what they have to say and by what i mean to them, and its humbling. Its nice to be humbled. All right. Continuing with my theme of being an argumentative son of a gun, he would leave the show, guys, if, he says, his talents, his ability to do it should start to diminish. He said hes seen some of that and is hard on it and everybody agree he can do the job. Hes not going anywhere walking or crawling away from that show but the new memoir, the answer is reflections on my life is out today. Cannot wait to check it out. Great job, by the way. He shall forever be known as an argumentative son of a gun. Forever. Yes he likes you though, t. J. I think we can all agree. Alex trebeks assessment on that. Now to ginger. Hey, ginger. Im with you, guys. I love that betty white twist. How about we do a gma moment sponsored by verizon. 5yearold bella has been really trying to perfect her backflip with her papa. Okay.

Reporter it was one of the most shocking moments in bvrp b. J. History. Isnt bachelor history. What in the hell have i done . Reporter the bachelor the greatest seasons ever taking a look back at one of the most notorious bachelors ever, brad womack. [ cheers ] brad outraging viewers after season 11s scandalous finale. I hate to say this, but i want something more that i cant i cant find with us. Reporter when he broke the hearts of both finalists. I want so badly to be so confident, to pick you up and twirl you around and give you a diamond ring and spend my life with you but i cant. Reporter the two women Deanna Pappas and jenni croft reacting to how the unprecedented decision changed their lives and bachelor nationer forever. Everyone thinks its so shocking that he didnt pick anybody, and, honestly, like, i was probably the most shocked, because i could have sworn he picked her, because i didnt know that he didnt even pick her until after the final rose show. Reporter deanna left blindsided after they spent one last night together before the final rose ceremony. Something that didnt air on the show 13 years ago was brad and i had time off camera and for the life of me ill never forget the last thing that he said to me. He said, ill see you tomorrow, and i said, oh, gosh. Dont remind me. He said, dont worry, its going to be a good day. Reporter moving on to become the bachelorette and although she didnt find lasting love on the show, she doesnt regret her experience and says it helped her see brads decision in a new light. No. No regrets. I wish i would have pushed a little harder for some answers but ultimately like i dont blame brad. Im thankful he made that decision. I kind of wish i would have done it myself when i was the bachelorette. Reporter deanna says there is a group chat with all the bachelorettes including the new bachelorette, claer. Her season has already begun filming, creator mike fleiss said theres been a rose ceremony. Were very excited to see that and i have these, dont really know what to do with them, guy.

How does it feel to be an overnight sensation . Thank you, no, its been crazy. Its been cool. I think just honestly for to have the opportunity to be back playing basketball has been huge for us and to give people a look into this bubble that we live in has been a cool opportunity. Yeah, matisse, we love seeing the look that youre giving us inside the bubble. Whats it feel like in there . Do you feel safe . Yeah, we feel really safe. I think thats one of the great things about it is just how theyve created a situation for us where we can come back to doing our jobs, something we love and also just making it a safe environment and a lot of unknown times. And, matisse, we know its a strange world youre living in. A lot of rules and precautions in place, but lets be honest, its got to feel great to get back to playing basketball with your team, right . Yeah, i mean, i for me it was like three months, right, literally couldnt play. I live in an Apartment Building and i didnt have access to a gym. To have that opportunity back is honestly a blessing . Now back with your teammates playing in the bubble. Does it feel a little like summer camp . Yeah, the way i describe it, you know how in high school no one loves waking up early going to class and all the homework and stuff, but youre all kind of in it together so you just make it the most of it. Thats the situation we find ourselves in. Give us a sense of your daytoday, if youre not working out together do you get to hang out together . Are you watching video games, eating together . We have a pretty cool there are different bubbles. The bubble were in, we can go fishing. Theres a little pool. We can play cornhole and this one restaurant we all like to go to that has fancy dinners but its cool. We dont have a lot of options but we make the most of what we have. Matisse, i understand some of your teammates have joked that regardless of what happens this season, youre going to be considered a rookie going into next season as well. Do you see it that way as like a doover next time around when things get a bit more normal . No, i see that as my worst nightmare. For me more chickfila. For me, i see this covid seasontype thing kind of like the doover like the second of my first season, so next year i dont im not going to be hearing from anyone im no longer a rookie. I had to buy all that food too. They broke me as a rookie. They really do. They dont give you money to cover all that food. You pay for it yourself. But we have to ask you finally, are we going to see the 76ers in the finals when the season resumes . I think we have a great chance. I think that the whole quarantine, everyone having the quarantine kind of leveled out the playing field, and i think this is going to be a great opportunity for us and our guys to step in and make a run. Well, good luck to you. Good luck to the rest of your team. Really appreciate your time and for taking us inside of the bubble giving us a glimpse of what life is like for you guys. No problem.

Shes one of the few irish dancers that is black and her modern take has millions watching her moves and this morning, shes joining us from richmond, virginia. Morgan, good morning to you. Hi, good morning. We are so excited that youre here. Ive already i am deep into your instagram. I love the videos that you post so much. Just give us a little bit of a sense of how you got started in irish dancing. Yeah, ive been a dancer my whole life. I started off with other forms of dance like ballet and tap when i was 3 and i saw irish dancing for the first time when i was 10 and i just was mesmerized. I fell in love with it instantly. I asked my mom if i could sign up for classes and at first she was like, i dont know if you want to do that its kind of outside the box a little bit but, of course, being the supportive mother that she is she signed me up for classes and after my first class i was hooked. It just felt like i was really in my element. Well, were mesmerized watching you do it. You are in your element, because you kind of dance to music from artists like drake, Janet Jackson and obviously queen bey and her mother tina knowles posted your video on instagram, so how did that make you feel . Did that blow your mind . Yeah, it was just so surreal to see that she posted it and my phone blew up. All my family and friends were like, oh, my gosh, beyonces mom posted you, and at first i like wasnt really looking at my phone because i had been getting so many notifications. When i saw that it was just so crazy. Pretty incredible there and also you actually got an invitation to join riverdance which is really a dream come true for you. For anybody else out there whos looking to defy what would be considered social norms or break through barriers, what advice would you have for them . My advice would just be to go for it. Dont let yourself be confined by the boundaries that people want to place on you because you never know if youll excel at something until you try it so just go for it. Well, morgan, were honored to have you dance for us live. What song did you choose . Im going to dance to nice to meet you by niall horan. We love it. All right, great. Lets see those famous moves. Whats your name let me treat you to a drink i like the way you talk i like the things you wear i want your number tattooed on my arm in ink, i swear cause when the morning comes, i know you wont be there every time i turn around you disappear nice to meet you [ applause ] yes so good. Hey, continued success to you, morgan. Thank you for joining us this morning. Really appreciate it. I have a feeling whit and i will break our ankles trying to camp up to you. Now we go over to ginger. Hey, beginer. Hey there, michael. Good morning, everybody. Can we just begin with a little story here . So john and his girlfriend erica went out to see the comet neowise, remember thats the brightest weve seen in 23 years. He said i went out to see the comet and came home with a fiancee. Yes, he proposed in probably the coolest at least to me way to propose and an engaged couple now from old forge, new york. Their friend tim captured that picture. Good on you, john, because we wont see neowise again for 6800 now to a reality superstar getting real about her health during the pandemic. Lara is back with more on that. Lara, good morning. Hey, good morning to you, whit. Khloe kardashian is sharing her personal journey teaming up with our sponsor Biohaven Pharmaceuticals and sharing how she deals with migraines during these difficult times. You are so cute. Thank you. Mwah. Social media and reality tv superstar khloe kardashian. Hi. Reporter shares intimate and sometimes serious moments of her life on keeping up with the kardashians. I have the biggest migraine. Reporter including her battle with debilitating migraine headaches that have beengoing since the sixth grade. I have impaired vision. I get really dizzy and just the sharp shooting pain mainly on a specific side of my face. Reporter kardashian is one of 40 million americans who experience migraines, a severe kind of headache thats often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and can last for hours or longer. Khloe says she used to get 10 to 12 migraines a month and longest lasted two days. Theyre debilitating and theres times you cant get out of bed because walking seems almost like its just its impossible. It cant be done, and so especially now having a daughter and an active 2yearold its really hard. Reporter kardashian says the worst part about her headaches is the time it takes away from her daughter true. I think i stress myself out just anticipating a migraine coming because i know how it wipes me out and then how im going to be, you know, maybe not the best mom that i would like to be. Reporter stress is a trigger for migraines and some doctors say the pandemic is triggering more of these headaches than usual. Definitely through the pandemic my migraines have increased, but with all of that i try to find the beauty in everything, and having this time to really reset and spend so much quality time with my daughter, you know, its been a blessing. Reporter kardashian is a spokesperson for Biohaven Pharmaceuticals and theyre teaming up to raise awareness in their campaign to help empower people with migraines. I encourage people to go to takebacktoday. Com where you have likeminded people experiencing the same things that you are. Glad she is speaking up and we will be right back on Good Morning America. Welcome back. This is a tough morning for us at gma. One of our stars, daisha riley, a young and talented producer suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. She rose through the ranks over the years on our show working on stories that have made so many of you, our viewers, smile and tear up. Her legacy lives on in a powerful voice she shared through storytelling. You might not have known daisha rileys name but if you watched gma for the past 14 years, trust us, you saw her incredible work because daisha loved nothing more than telling america a story. Daisha riley could write a breaking news piece with lightning speed. On features she could make you cry with her exquisite choice of words and when amy interviewed the cast of game of thrones, youd Better Believe that daisha made sure that set actually had a throne to make the actors jaws drop. Nice set. Thank you. Well done, gents and ladies. As one colleague said daisha had grit and grace, she took pride in her work and she fought for it because to daisha there was no greater privilege than helping you at home start your day. And trust us when we say that for all of us at gma there was no greater privilege than knowing daisha riley. She was never the loudest voice in the room, but she was always the smartest, funny and brilliant and above all, kind. Quick with the smile and a kitten meme just when you needed it most. No, you might not have known daisha rileys name before today, but now you do. A worldclass producer, a pillar of gma and a friend to us all. And she was beloved by all of us here. Her smile lit up a room. Her talents not just recognized by our team but journalists across the board and she won multiple emmys for her incredible work and its just its hard for us and difficult to even wrap our heads around this but we cant express how much were going to miss her. We are thinking about her family and her fiance tyrone this morning. I found some emails that she sent to me recently on stories that we were working on. From a perspective of correspondent in the field it always brought me comfort and confidence knowing that she was on the story with us. She really was one of the best. You mentioned her voice, i think of being on the phone with daisha so many times as we would work on pieces and she had the sweetest voice. She was known for this sweet voice but she really was a light on this team and we want america to know that. But we especially want daishas fiance and her family to know that we love her and we will miss her very much. She always brought the best. Well be right back. Brought the best. Well be right back.
