Biden and sanders now the clear frontrunners as we were saying bracing themselves for a long, hard battle that could go all the way to the convention and mary bruce is here in the studio with us and starts us off with the latest. Good morning, mary. Good morning, robin. This was just a remarkable upset that just a week ago no one saw coming. Joe biden last night was propelled by africanamerican voters and a wave of establishment support from the Democratic Party and this morning joe biden is back from the brink and this race has a new frontrunner. They dont call it super tuesday for nothing. Reporter the night belonged to joe biden. For those who have been knocked down and counted out, left behind, this is your campaign. Reporter the former Vice President with a massive comeback on the biggest night of the primary so far. And we were told when we got to super tuesday, it would be over. So im here to report, we are very much alive reporter fueled by key lastminute endorsements from his former opponents and lastminute support from voters who say they made their decision in just the last few days. We won minnesota because of amy klobuchar. Reporter biden capturing nine of the 15 contests and gaining over 300 delegates. Surprise wins in massachusetts, minnesota and texas where strong support from black voters helped him edge out vermont senator Bernie Sanders and complete a sweep of the south. This morning, its now a twoman race. Sanders making big gains in california propelled by large portions of the hispanic vote. Revolution reporter also winning utah, colorado and his home state of vermont. For tonight i tell you with absolute confidence we are going to win the democratic nomination. Reporter and hes already sharpening his attacks against biden. One of us in this race led the opposition to the war in iraq. Youre looking at him. Another candidate voted for the war in iraq. Reporter massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warrens campaign is struggling after she failed to win a single state, even her own. Before results were tallied warren promised to stay in the fight urging voters to ignore the pundits. Cast a vote from your heart and vote for the person you think will make the best president of the United States of america. Reporter former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg it was a disappointing night. He went all in on these states pouring over 230 million into super tuesday alone. But coming away with just a few delegates to show for it. The bloomberg camp says it will make an assessment about what comes next, but hes still swinging at the president. I know youre not used to seeing a new yorker in southern florida in late winter. But unlike the president , i didnt come here to golf. Reporter now with biden resurgent the Trump Campaign took quick aim saying biden is, quote, just as terrible a candidate right now as he was a few days ago and accusing democrats of ganging up on sanders to deny him wins. Robin . Okay, mary, good to have you with us in the studio. The Biden Campaign is riding high in morning after those victories in the south, now in a completely different position than just two weeks ago. Eva pilgrim is traveling with the campaign. Shes there in los angeles. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, robin. Yeah, joe biden outperforming expectations on super tuesday. Now turning his attention to next weeks states that he thinks play to his strengths. He already has trips planned to missouri and mississippi, and for a candidate who was literally outspent in every single super tuesday state, that war chest is now filling back up. There was a moment last night that a lot of people are talking about this morning. Dr. Jill biden protecting her husband by shoving off a dairy protester that was storming the stage. Her response, robin, im a philly girl. And she did seem that way. All right, eva, thank you very much. Meanwhile this morning the future of Michael Bloombergs campaign is in question after last nights results so lets go to cecilia vega who is in west palm beach, florida, with more on that. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hey, robin. Good morning to you. The Bloomberg Team says they plan to reassess that Campaign Today and tomorrow Going Forward in the future in the wake of those results last night. I traveled with his campaign all day yesterday and asked Michael Bloomberg about this pressure on him and his team and whether he planned to drop out. He told me he had no plans to drop out, that he planned to stay in this race to win it but this morning, robin, his team is sending a very different message. They say bloomberg, if he is not the nominee, will support whoever that nominee is and you know hes supported already his own campaign to the tune of more than half a billion dollars but, robin, right now his Campaign Chair is saying on twitter the number one priority for him is to defeat donald trump in november. Okay, cecelia. Bernie sanders seeing that big success in california and in his home state, of course, of vermont. Martha raddatz is there in burlington with more. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. It was not exactly the ending Bernie Sanders wanted but he is touting his success with latino voters and, of course, california, tweeting late last night, thank you, california, you showed that americans are ready for a government and economy that works for all of us, not just the 1 . Lets go forward together. Sanders campaign is also saying in order to beat donald trump, you need a nominee that is able to Harness Energy and enthusiasm. He routinely does that on the campaign trail, but he has some very stiff competition in that regard this morning. George . Okay, martha, thanks very much. Lets bring in our chief political analyst, matt dowd and also yvette simpson. Your organization has endorsed Bernie Sanders. Matt, let me begin with you. Weve never seen a fourday swing like we have with joe biden coming off South Carolina, the sweeping victories in super tuesday last night. The scale of this victory hard to gauge. Yeah, and we always talk about bill clintons comeback, the comeback kid in 1992 when he finished second. This so far exceeds that. I was trying to think ive never seen a political comeback like this in my life ever. I was trying to think what it is akin to. Its a bit like the Boston Red Sox being down 30 because biden lost the first three aces being down one run in the ninth and coming back and beating the new york yankees. Weve never seen he is not the comeback kid. Hes lazarus. Its an incredible comeback, yvette, and now its basically a twoperson race, Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bloomberg as we come on the air right now still in the race but this is biden and sanders. Tough night for Elizabeth Warren. She has never lost a race. Her supporters are probably going to need a day to absorb this. But, look, she is about big change so hopefully her supporters, mostly progressive will come on board with the Bernie Sanders campaign and give them the momentum they need. We saw a consolidation of support among the mainstream and if we had that support last night we would have saw a lot more wins in places like minnesota and maine and massachusetts where we needed it. Michael bloomberg always promised to use his fortune not only to get into this primary, but to help defeat President Trump in november. Interesting to see what he announces coming out of this and whether he will continue to spend money. The beatles sang a song money cant buy me love and political advertising cant buy you delegates in this. I think thats its going to be fascinating to see what he does and if he gets out and what he does in the process. But i think last night and this past day, two myths have been busted. The first myth is political advertising somehow can overcome everything else. We learned thats not possible because joe biden spent less than anybody else. The second myth we learned which we keep relearning is New Hampshire and iowa do not tell us whats going to happen in these political race. Thats the thing. Once the race is broadened out to look more like the whole of the country, joe biden did better. He did, particularly in South Carolina where hes benefitting from older africanamerican voters who tend to be more conservative but in nevada and places like california where you have younger black voters, Bernie Sanders is winning there. So it will be interesting to see how that spreads across the rest of the country. We saw Bernie Sanders signal it will be a hardedged finish in the primary. Absolutely. I think it will be really interesting. Bernie sanders benefits from being in the underdog space. So i think he will fight coming out. I think once we get back into the debates and he can attack biden oneonone youll see a bernie like youve never seen before. We will see a lot of twists and turns in the race. We have to also keep in mind that joe biden had a great night, great series of states but hes been known to have unforced errors in this process. So we have to wait and see what is going to happen in the next week. Big states next week. Thank you both very much. Amy . All right, george, thank you. We turn to the other big stories this morning, the search is on for those still missing after the tornado outbreak in tennessee that killed at least 24 people and now there are new warnings across the south. Rob marciano is going to have a lot more on that in just a moment. First to Victor Oquendo in hard hit donelson. Good morning, victor. Reporter good morning, amy. We are east of nashville. An ef3 tornado with winds up to 165 Miles Per Hour destroyed everything in sight. At this home just a few walls left standing.

A school was also destroyed. Reporter devastation across central tennessee. People were crying and screaming. I mean we didnt know what was going on. Reporter two massive tornados ripping through communities in and around nashville killing at least 24 people. The devastation is heartbreaking. Reporter violent power flashes lighting up the night sky. The twisters wreaking havoc as people slept, with many still missing. At this airport the storm tossing these small jets around. Homes flattened. The high winds snapping power lines. I watched debris fly through the glass windows, one of the garage doors get ripped off. Never thought that this would happen. Its like a war zone. I just seen people scattered everywhere. Reporter this woman barely recognizing the plant she works at now turned to rubble. So much devastation and im sorry, man, its im just not used to seeing it like that. Reporter residents already beginning to rebuild. Despite the desolation, hundreds lined up at the polls overnight to cast their vote for super tuesday. Because of the tornado, you know, we had to come here and it took a little over two hours but it sure was worth it. Reporter in the midst of all the destruction incredible tales of survival. I thought about my daughter and i really thought this could be it for me. Reporter the storm knocking over this mans tractor trailer with him and his colleague still inside. Our passenger side window blew out. At that moment we felt the wind really start to hit so we got down on the floor and our truck and trailer got caught in the tornado and ended up flipping over. Reporter incredible tales of bravery. This fire chief saving this 7yearold boy who was trapped by live wires. A pleasure. Yes. Reporter the two reuniting hours later. It was pretty scary, though, right . Yes, sir. Very proud of you. Very brave. When i asked you to hold still, you did. Got you over to grandma and everything is good. Yes, sir. Reporter with sunrise the scope of the damage becomes painfully clear and volunteers have been flocking from all over the region to help clean up. This is an improvement from what we saw yesterday. As for little brock who was rescued by the fire chief, he says he now wants to be a firefighter. Amy . Ah, so sweet. Victor, thank you. Unfortunately, the Severe Weather threat is not over for the south. There are new tornado watches this morning and rob marciano is also in tennessee tracking the latest for us. Good morning, rob. Good morning, amy. Tough day across the entire state including right here in downtown nashville. This is a popular restaurant and pizza place and popular area of bars and restaurants. This happened shortly after midnight. If people werent home and asleep, they were likely out in this area and there was a couple walking home from a bar that were killed by flying debris. So dangerous happenings here in tennessee and the dangerous weather continues across the south as amy mentioned. Lets show you where that is sprawled out across the gulf coast.

Now the frontrunner in the democratic race again, ahead in the delegate count, but Bernie Sanders is not far behind and they are still counting the votes in california and maine. Still coming in. Well have more on that ahead. First the other top headlines were following right now, the u. S. Conducted an air strike on the taliban overnight. The first since signing that peace deal with the group. Big day for the Supreme Court which will hear arguments today in the first major Abortion Case to come before those two trump appointed conservative justices, neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh.

The search is on for survivors after those deadly tornadoes in the south. At least 24 People Killed in tennessee. Nashville now coming together to help so many sending their support helping their neighbors out. Theres a reason why tennessee is called the volunteer state. And everybody in that state is volunteering to help one another. We are sending them our love and support as well. Well have more on the coronavirus emergency this morning. We are myth busting. There is some Bad Information online. Facebook is now cracking down on it, removing false claims and giving the World Health Organization free advertising so users know whats real and whats not. Were also seeing some major price gouging online. Rebecca jarvis is here with more on that angle of the story. Unfortunate, rebecca. It is unfortunate. If youve tried shopping for soap, Hand Sanitizer or a mask, even though our very own jennifer ashton, dr. Jennifer ashton, says that the average person shouldnt be using those masks, there is a run on all these products and the price gouging has begun. Endless lines, empty shelves, sold out signs, in the post coronavirus world, this is our new reality. Purell, the new gold standard, the Hand Sanitizer suddenly one of the most sought after products in the world but how far are you willing to go to get your hands on a bottle . On amazon listings for a twopack going for 84. 99. If that wasnt steep enough this seller advertising one bottle for 107. 99. The markup on the n95 masks nearly 600 even though the Surgeon General has urged the public to stop buying them. This one on amazon cost 200. A few weeks ago they were around 13. Californias governor gavin newsom tweeting out, seriously amazon . These prices are absurd. Amazon taking action saying it will crack down on these astronomical prices, removing or blocking more than 1 million products on its platform for price gouging and misleading claims. And amazon, ebay and walmart have all struggled to deal with the price gouging and removing them from their sites but in some cases not fast enough which is why you might see some of those products listed. Be careful of the survival kits. You might see face masks as the survival face masks or kits that are supposed to weather through the coronavirus. Theres a lot of dubious claims out there. It is buyer beware today and every day but especially right now. Rebecca, thank you. Lets bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. Jennifer ashton. Shes joining us from washington, d. C. And, jen, i know youll break down some myths that are out there and the first one, well ask you fact or fiction. The symptoms of the flu are completely different from the symptoms of the coronavirus. Well, that is actually thats a fact. Theyre the same or fiction, actually that they are the same. Theres a big overlap. They give you these nonspecific viral syndromes, fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue. We have to remember we are still in the middle of flu season so common things occur commonly. If you get any of those symptoms right now, its still more likely you have influenza than coronavirus. Jen, many viewers are asking if you got the flu vaccine, will that be helpful in fighting the coronavirus . It wont, robin. Different viruses, different vaccines. Its not too late to get the flu vaccine and has some moderate efficacy this season. Its better than nothing but right now theyre hard at work for a vaccine against this Novel Coronavirus. One vaccine doesnt help you against other viruses. All right, jen, heres another one. Warm weather will stop the outbreak of the coronavirus. True or false . No one knows, amy. Okay, no one has a crystal ball. We have to remember that when its warm weather here, its winter in the Southern Hemisphere and if this spreading around the world, there is no evidence that just because its warm weather here its going to stop it globally. Speaking of spreading, people want to know can pets spread the coronavirus . Gosh, you know, we all love our pets, all three of us included. There was one case report out of asia that suggested that coronavirus was found in the nose of a pomeranian of someone who was confirmed to be sick but we dont know and in speaking of veterinarians, whether that could just be contact. So common sense, if someone has coronavirus, keep your distance from your pets just as you would another person. We teased this in the beginning of our program. People want to know should we be disinfecting packages that we receive in the mail . No evidence to that either, amy. I mean we dont know how long the fomites or these particles of this Novel Coronavirus can live on dry surfaces. Theres a lot of panic and hysteria and extreme steps being taken and right now there is zero evidence that it can be passed on money, packages, mail at this time. And finally, jen, viewers are wanting to know if you megadosing on vitamins, is that something that can be helpful . Well, no evidence of that either for this or any other virus. But im glad that viewers are asking that because it speaks to the steps we can take to increase the power of our immune system at baseline which is helpful in not just protecting people from coronavirus but influenza, rsv, any other virus, which is get enough sleep. Exercise actually has been associated with lower risks of getting even the common cold. If you smoke, stop, because that lowers your immune system and makes you more susceptible as well. I got to ask you again, jen, theres some viewers that are going like theyre just not theyre just thinking that the reaction to what is happening is not in line with what is truly happening. How do you no one knows, robin. This is an unknown situation. We have to take it seriously. Just because the majority of cases are mild does not mean that it wont be severe or even deadly for a smaller percentage of people and its an unknown. So we have to take it seriously. All right, jen, thank you. Thats the bottom line. Coming up, Chris Harrison and sage steele are taking us behind the scenes of Nik Wallendas dangerous walk over a volcano. There they are, and all this before they host the live event just hours from now. Well get to them when we come back. To them when we come back.

Thats how far nik wallenda is going to be walking on a wire just over an inch thick and it turns out that preparing that wire, making sure it is safe and secure is a real process. This morning, nik wallenda is just hours away from his most daring feat yet, traversing an 1,800foot wire across the crater of nicaraguas masaya volcano, the lava bubbling beneath over 2,000 degrees fahrenheit. The reality is im risking my life too and were dealing with mother nature. Reporter wallenda who will be wearing a gas mask and oxygen tank is working against toxic gas and wind that could affect aerodynamics and visibility. Relative to your previous accomplishments where is your head at going into this one . There is a little more angst probably going into this one because of all of the unique elements. Reporter niks uncle is the lead engineer and has been preparing six months for this event guiding a team of riggers to make sure the main wire, just over an inch thick, and the 116 stabilizing wires stay secure. What sort of surprises have been happening as youre doing this . Gas coming up over the crater has a significant acid content this. This is one of the stabilizers hooked to the rope. That doesnt look good. Thats not good. Reporter joining joining him is his wife erendira, a gifted aerialist herself. How would you describe your love affair with nik . I absolutely love my husband and i absolutely love what he does. To the rest of the world its nerveracking. To me its beautiful. Reporter and wallenda says as crazy as it might seem, this is something he was born to do. Are there moments when you wake up in a cold sweat where you go, im out, i cant do it . There are not because i live by the words never give up. When i get on the wire, im taking a journey and everybody in life has a journey and they all have a wire that theyre trying to get to the other side. Reporter wallenda says his routine on a day like this, wake up, have some fruit, j yogurt.

So what are your impressions of the environment there . Okay, to be honest i googled. You google before you come to a place like this and i thought i was prepared and i was not. I failed miserably. They said be ready. Its dirty. Theres a lot of dirt. Its very rocky. The silver dioxide, that awesome egglike smell, robin, is here. Its great. And i mean thats what you would expect. Look at the gases swirling behind us. I will say this, it is completely different right here where were standing than 1,800 feet i have to lean into you. 1,800 feet that way where hes going to start his walk. That is like the surface of the moon. Its insane. Were filthy dirty when we get done every single day but thats just us. What about nik . Chris, i was going to ask you about nik. Will reeve was talking to us and spent time with nik and said nik is pretty open about his fear right now. Yeah, he is, george. Weve been with him all week at the hotel and i would say cautiously optimistic or maybe anxiously optimistic. Is unlike any walk hes ever had and i think there is this misconception that this is a foregone conclusion that all this is just going to go great. There are 100 things that could go wrong here. This toxic, you know, dust and fumes that come up that choke you out in seconds. He will have to wear a mask. Hes never done that before. Hes going to have to wear goggles. Hes never done that before. Hes going to be carrying oxygen. Hes never done that before. There are a lot of unknowns and hes anxious about this particular walk. With all of those unknowns and well all be watching with bated breath, sage, i understand there are still more surprises in the show. Yes. Yes, we will tell you a little bit right now. Nik we all know about nik, but will mentioned erendira in his package because his wife is an aerialist and has been doing this basically her whole life as well.

Before treatment your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or coughs, or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. Nothing is everything ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. And i dont count the wrinkles. But what i do count on is boost high protein. And now, introducing new boost women.

Its sparkling water. Pack a smile. And i recently had hi, ia heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

Nicely done. Thats pop news. Thank you, lara. Thank you, lara. On now to our gma cover story. A startling headline about teens and vaping. Despite the new flavored vaping bans, some kids are finding a way around it. Paula faris is back with details about this. Good morning again. Good morning, robin. Good morning, ladies. These teens are finding a loophole. Over 25 of High Schoolers used ecigarettes last year according to the cdc, most of them flavored, but since the flavor ban, many teens are finding a way around it. Theyre turning to disposable flavored ecigarettes. High school sophomores Nikki Mcclure and Nate Allbritton do almost everything together, classes, studying, hanging out after school. They even started vaping together. We were just like lets just try it because like to us everyone was doing it. It tastes good. The flavor. Reporter the best friends from paducah, kentucky, say they quickly became hooked and when flavored juuls went off the market last year, they switched to puff bars, a brand of disposable ecigarettes. When the ban came, disposable was like you saw them everywhere. Thats what everyone was talking about. Juul was like not cool anymore. Its the puff bar. Reporter the food and drug administrations new rule bans the sale of flavored ecigarettes with refillable cartridges. But a loophole allows disposable ecigs which come in flavors like watermelon and blue razz to remain on the market. This one is pink lemonade. If you just smell it, you realize what it is. It has as much nicotine as a pack and a half of cigarettes. Reporter cool clouds, the company that owns puff bar told abc news its opposed to the illegal use of the puff bar by minors, has not engaged in any marketing and does not operate any ecommerce websites or social media. I calculated all the money ive used on puff bars in like the last two months and it was like 300. It makes me mad at myself almost because i hate that and i dont want to be addicted. Reporter the partial ban coming about after a string of vapingrelated illnesses, all in an effort to curb access to sweet flavors that appeal to young people. Now these teens are urging congress to close the loophole. Democrats are taking strong action to protect americas children. Reporter the house passing a bill last week to ban the sale of all flavored tobacco products, something nate and nikki hope will prevent other teens from becoming addicted and struggling to quit. Its just the hardest thing to do because once you feel like youre getting somewhere, it just pulls you back in. They are hooked and the makers of puff bar say they are no longer distributing puff bar products here in the u. S. And the Vapor Technology association told us that youth should not use any nicotine products, period. Its illegal. And the total ban would ruin it for adults who are using ecigarettes to kick their habit. One disposable has the same nicotine as a pack and a half of cigarettes. Its incomprehensible. A lot of teens dont know this and getting hooked on the nicotine. Paula, thank you. The dangerous new viral trend making the rounds on tiktok called the skull breaker challenge and two new jersey students are now facing charges for doing it after seriously injuring another child. Erielle reshef is here and, erielle, this has some big consequences. It sure does, amy. Yet another dangerous viral prank sweeping social media. The skull breaker challenge already landing several kids in the hospital with serious injuries. Now a family from new jersey is sharing their 13yearold sons story to warn others. Videos like this one may only be a few seconds. But the frightening aftermath can last much longer. This skull breaker challenge is as dangerous as it sounds. Two people fool an unsuspecting third into jumping into the air kicking their feet right out from under them all captured on video and shared on tiktok. After falling victim to the challenge, stacy and marks son was rushed to the hospital. My son ended up having a seizure with a traumatic brain injury and a concussion with loss of consciousness. Reporter now the two students who challenged the boy are facing Assault Charges. If you do something and you make a mistake, it could ruin your life forever. It could ruin somebody elses life forever. Reporter authorities and doctors warning the challenge is putting those targeted at significant risk. If you hit head first you can have a skull fracture, a hematoma on the outside of the skull or even bleeding within the brain. Reporter and their son not the only one suffering serious injuries resulting from the viral dare. I couldnt feel my hands. I couldnt feel my legs, my feet, nothing. Reporter 13yearold Kathleen Dejesus was rushed to the hospital from her middle school in massachusetts after being targeted by her peers. I was thinking, oh, my god, im going to lose my life from this game. I should have never done it. Its harrowing to see those. Tiktok is removing all skull breaker videos from its platform. Authorities are urging parents to talk to your kids about the dangers of these trends. They can seem funny but as evidenced by those stories they are so dangerous and have lasting consequences. Those videos are so hard to watch. I hope parents are listening. Thank you. Lara, over to you. Now to a minimalist fashion challenge becoming quite a movement.

Were here for you every weekend morning from 4 30 to 7 00. Th good morning [ applause ] welcome back to gma. Our series good morning, sunshine is dedicated to those people who bring extra sunshine to our lives. This morning we want you to meet a woman whos been a girl scout for 88 years. [ applause ] she loves to share her joy, especially during girl scout cookie season. Steve osunsami has her beautiful story. Reporter shes a 98yearold golf cart driving girl scout achieving possibly her best badge yet. Hi, ronnie. Hi. Reporter for making people smile. Nice you all could come. Reporter this morning shes saying good morning, sunshine. Reporter Ronnie Backenstoe became a girl scout in 1932 when thin mints and tagalongs of the day sold for only 13 cents a box. We only had three kinds of cookies. Im a Peanut Butter lover. My husband used to call me the Peanut Butter kid because i loved Peanut Butter. Reporter she is the definition of young at heart. Do i look all right . Reporter with a joy she loves to share each cookie season. You like Girl Scout Cookies . I sure do. Reporter when the local troops come to her pennsylvania Retirement Community to sell cookies to other seniors. Hi, how are you . Reporter to these young scouts shes a ray of sunshine. Are you a daisy . Yeah. I thought maybe. When i met miss ronnie, i felt happy. Shes always in a happy mood and always laughing. She has this nonstop energy. Shes a great role model. I teach the younger girl scouts to be kind, to give service, to be prepared. Reporter when 12yearold ali was qualifying for a new pin, it was ronnie who gave her the talk she needed. I was like, i dont know how im going to do this but miss ronnie probably did it a thousand times. Im going to try. Reporter her uniform isnt crowded with badges and the story of why that is makes us love her even more. I grew too big for it but some of my friends were smaller and they could use it. In the depression times, we didnt have money for things like that so my mother gave my uniform away so away went my badges as well. So i dont have the badges. That isnt important. Its what i learned from the badges. Thats the important thing. How could you not stay in girl scouts is my question. Its a way of living. And im still living. Reporter for that remarkable attitude go in it wholeheartedly. Reporter shes our good morning sunshine. For good morning america, steve osunsami, abc news, wernersville, pennsylvania. [ applause ] yeah, ronnie. I like how she referred to the younger girl scouts like that. We have this box is empty. I dont know who in the crew got to this box of Girl Scout Cookies. Ronnie, we need more. It is about just people who bring a little extra into your morning and a family we want to talk about downstairs to begin and there are people who come outside and theres a family from pittsburgh right there. Theres two right there. [ applause ] hi, guys. But they got split up because the other two are back. Stand up, dad and daughter. Yeah. [ applause ] we got them all. But thank you for bringing sunshine into our morning. They came here at 1 00 in the morning. They havent been to bed. Wow. Do you know someone who brings sunshine to your life or your community . We want to hear all about them so send us your nominations. You can go to our website so we can say good morning, sunshine. Good morning to rocco. This is sunshine. Come on. [ applause ] Rocco Dispirito is here. Okay. I hope you guys are hungry. Yes. This woman right here is extremely happy. Oh, good. We all are but amy in particular. She is our keto queen. I can eat this. Terrific. Remix with rocco. Its comfort food all keto. That means very low carb, little to no sugar. High fat. Mostly plant based fats but some of the fats that we love to eat but shouldnt eat too much of. The fact is when you eat a high fat low carb diet you lose weight really quickly. Well start with mac and cheese. Mac and cheese. Its worked well for you obviously. And ive made this exact dish. You have, cool. It is a crowd pleaser. Where do you think i got the recipe . Thank you for that by the way. Were going to start with the cauliflower. You can boil this the conventional way or this way. Sea salt. Thank you, lara, for not letting that burn. I appreciate it. Olive oil, goes in a foil pouch. Well trained, my god. It goes in a foil pouch, 450 10 to 20 minutes. You make your sauce with onion, garlic thats pureed with water, goes into a pan. Goes in the pan and saute that. I got sizzling going on here and it ends up looking like that then you add to it milk. Whole milk or whole milk. I do half and half. Cream cheese. Hello. Big chunk and cheddar cheese. You mix that altogether. Wait. This looks suspiciously like bread crumbs. It does. Which is a keto nono . And performs like bread crumbs but guess what it is . Pork rind, crushed up pork rinds. That is the secret topping. Its becoming makes it so salty and so mmmm. Really good. Works just like bread crumbs. They call it pork panko. So you add your cauliflower to the cheese mixture that gets mixed together. Boiled. You know. It looks easy. Then you dump it in a buttered dish. Yes, dump it in a buttered dish and then top it amy really knows. Top it with the pork rind panko and parmesan reggiano and goes back into an oven. Okay, Fried Chicken, got to have Fried Chicken. [ applause ] so how do you make Fried Chicken a little more healthy . Two things, i precook it in an oven or microwave and use chicken leg which is actually more tasty and a little healthier from my point of view and i flash fry so this is chicken legs cut into small pieces and use almond flour, coconut if youre allergic to flour is a nono. No flour on a keto diet. And then you flash fry in really hot oil. It takes 12 seconds. 12 seconds start to finish. So the amount of fat absorbed by food is a function of time, not the amount of oil you use so if youre cooking very fast itll absorb a little less fat but still enough to make it keto and heres the almond flour really tastes good. I think it does too. A great alternative. The nut flours are more expensive. Thats why we dont use them in everything and we use nut flours in all baking. Theyre a total mimic . I think they taste even better and perform just as well. The almond flour, is seasoning in there too. Season it with adobo seasoning. One of my go tos. Doesnt your mother have yes. My mom actually just started a website, myketohome. Com, and she has all recipes. Shes been doing it for two years because i convinced her to go keto as well and shes had a test kitchen and having fun with it. Does she have the keto antidepressant thing going on . No. Apparently keto can also make you feel like a little happier. Thats why they call it ketovangelists. Im annoying . No, not at all. Roccos keto comfort food diet is out today. [ applause ] get these recipes on our website. Well be right back. [ applause ] [ applause ] dad, im scared. Its only human to care for those we love. And also help light their way. Its why last year chevron invested over 10 billion to bring affordable, reliable, ever cleaner energy to america. Were back now with pamela adlon, cocreator, cowriter, director and star of better things. Im sorry, i have chicken in my throat. Chicken throat. We just had a cooking segment. You know her from so many great movies and californication and the voice of bobby in king of the hill. You have done so many great things. Thank you. You guys know it . Yes. Semiautobiographical, correct . Yeah, its pretty much i took the bones of my life and then it just grew from there and now were in season 4 which i cant even believe but people are bingewatching now so if you watch the first three seasons you see the girls grow and morph like its a Science Fiction movie a little bit. Its about an actress with three daughters. Yeah. How similar is it to your real life . Well, you know, like i said its those things and what im able to do is take situations from my childhood. There they are. And put it in my kids yeah, those are my real daughters on the left. Theyre going to be really upset. Sorry. No, its fine. Is it true you let them have a hand in choosing their tv counterpart . Yeah, when it came time i have a small, medium and large daughter in the show so i let each one pick and there were like 2,000 submissions, i think, that people really want their kids to be actors, so we went through them and each of my girls picked their like their counterpart. And it seems to have worked out just fine, season four. Yeah, thank god. But, yeah, theyre all fantastic. Theyve grown so much. I want to show everybody a little clip. Well show you this clip now where youre in the car with your mom and two of your daughters and your mom will not stop harassing the other drivers. Take a look. Get out. Dont be ridiculous. Mom. Get out. I have a serious heart condition. I could pop off at any moment which youd be very glad about if im not in your hair anymore. Thats what the defibrillator is for. Itll shock you and call the hospital and has a gps if you get lost. Youre not allowed in the car anymore. Goodbye now. [ applause ] so funny. Very important question from the producer, do you call your mom bro in real life . I call everybody bro. My daughters and my mom, yeah. This season will see you sing a little bit and i want to remind everybody, this is not the first time youve sung on camera. This woman was in grease 2, everybody. Yeah, grease 2. Do you remember the experience . Oh, my god. Yeah. Oh, im wearing pink. Yes. Im a pink lady. I didnt but, yeah, thats my first movie. Im 14 years old there and i just i was dying of happiness because i was around all these older people and they were so cool and it was lorna luft. Wasnt Michelle Pfeiffer in that . Yeah, grease was cars and grease 2 was motorcycles and feminist boss ass. Thats a pretty great first movie, and i read in my research you tried out for friends. We all did. Everybody, everybody whos my age and ten years younger and ten years older, we all auditioned for friends. Every one of us. Yeah, we were all in that building at nbc. We were like, i think i could be monica. I dont even [ laughter ] i was just going to ask. I dont know.

[ applause ] we are back now with the very talented Janina Gavankar and you know her from the morning show and true blood. Shes starring alongside ben affleck in an emotional new movie the way back. Lets take a look at a clip. Heard youre coaching basketball. Keeps my mind off other things. Good. I was worried about you. What were you worried about me for . Moving on with your life. Why, are you . Moving on with your life . Whats his name . Nick. Im completely blindsided by this. Blindsided . Weve been separated for over a year. [ applause ] ooh. Janina, thank you for joining us. Ben affleck really puts his heart on the line for this role and you said this is one of the bravest things ive been close to. Yeah, its true. You know, first of all, you dont get extra credit points for, one, being good at your job or, two, courageously going into the face of whatever character youre playing. Everybody always says that but this man has been very open about what he found in himself and what he put on the line to play this character and i got to tell you, it was incredible to stand by and support him while he did it. I know people can really relate to these characters. Your character, bens character. Thats what everyones been saying. What message do us hope people take from watching this movie . Gosh, there are a few themes in this. Bens character is dealing with addiction and my character is still very much in love with him and theres a lot of people know theres only so much you can love somebody before theyll help themselves. It has to come from them. If anybody identifies with this character i hope they see theyre worthy of receiving the help that people want to give them and, you know, its there is a way back. You take on a lot of heavy topics but theres lightness between you and ben. You and ben attended the premiere and he got you on a dating app. Oh gosh. Its true. Why did i tell anyone this . Well now you get to tell us . It took me a year after he was like you got to do it to finally actually do it and it worked out. So i oh. You found love. [ applause ] anyway. Okay. And ben met him. It went well. He was very nice too him. Didnt shake his hand too hard. It was very nice. We have another red carpet story. You took to instagram and gave red carpet tips and said to be clear i literally practiced what poses look best with each dress because if i dont have a little performance check list i glitch out and none of the photos are good. Its true. You practice your poses. Yes. Mean, theres each one is different. Even this one is like this has a whole thing. This one is like, okay, so you dont want to do this because then you look like a linebacker so you kind of want to throw the shoulders back and maybe you can do this a little, put your hip out. I like it. I like it. [ applause ] oh. You kind of have at least its very stressful so i have to practice these things, otherwise i screw it up. When you see it when it doesnt work never again. It really doesnt work. Everybody has an instagram, you know what this is. Nothing is different when youre on the red carpet. Its the same thing. Youre not just a pro by the way in front of the camera. You also have quite the eye behind it. You took the photo of your friend duchess meghan with harry and baby archie for their holiday card. Yeah. Tell me about that. Yeah, you know, i just i was with them and they needed a card. Look at that. You really do have an eye. Thanks. By the way, speaking of future endeavors not just being a photographer but you have a new movie stucco coming out. Yeah, its my directorial debut and my partner and i created a short film and it just got into south by southwest so were going down. Yes, yeah. [ applause ] its called stucco and its really weird.
