Thank you all for joining us this morning. And as we come on the air this morning, it is clear were in a new phase of this coronavirus crisis. The president made it very clear last night calling it a critical time. Because worldwide the number of cases tops more than 120,000 and the World Health Organization officially declared this outbreak a pandemic which is defined as the global spread of a new disease. And the group said, its using this wording because of the alarming level of spread and severity and the alarming level of inaction.

Reporter after minimizing the impacts of the coronavirus, President Trump is now calling this a horrible disease saying americans should take every precaution to stay safe. In an Oval Office Address to the nation, President Trump promising what he called tough but necessary action to combat the coronavirus, taking the extraordinary step of limiting travel between the United States and europe for the next 30 days. Smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow. Reporter the new restrictions bar most foreign nationals coming from europe from entering the United States beginning tomorrow at midnight, and while the United Kingdom is exempt, the president blamed european allies for not doing more. The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from china and other hot spots. As a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travellers from europe. Reporter President Trump originally signaling the measure would also impact trade. These prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Reporter the white house later clarifying in a statement that trade actually is not included in the new rules. President trump setting the tone of his tenminute address at the very beginning saying the outbreak began overseas in china, and he called it a foreign virus. This is the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign virus in modern history. I am confident that continuing to take these tough measures, we will significantly reduce the threat to our citizens and we will ultimately and expeditiously defeat this virus. Reporter calling this a critical time, the president now urging americans to follow the advice of Health Officials he has previously contradicted, and asking Nursing Homes to suspend all medically unnecessary visits. The Elderly Population must be very, very careful. Reporter the president promising Financial Relief for american workers, including deferring tax payments for people in businesses impacted by the virus. He also called on congress to pass a payroll tax cut, a proposal already rejected by Many Democrats and republicans. One thing is clear, no longer is President Trump saying, this is a virus that will just go away on its own. If we are vigilant and we can reduce the chance of infection, which we will, we will significantly impede the transmission of the virus. The virus will not have a chance against us. Reporter our european allies not happy this morning. The eu slamming in as a unilateral decision. Heres how this will work. This applies to most european countries, not all. Americans traveling with their families will face additional screening if coming back into the country. A huge shift from the white house, george, theyre saying the president is scaling back his travel canceling events in colorado. George . Thank you, cecilia. Were joined now by the Vice President , mike pence. Mr. Vice president , thank you for joining us this morning. Good morning, george. That was a striking tone from the president last night. In previous statements, he had emphasized that the coronavirus is, quote, well under control saying its going to disappear. What did he learn that drove him to address the nation that way last night, and does he now agree with dr. Fauci who warned americans this was going to get worse . We have all known from the beginning that the coronavirus would continue to spread across this country, and its one of the reasons why very early on, President Trump took Decisive Action to put the health of the American People first. Not only declaring a Public Health emergency in january, but in that same month, he suspended all travel from china, an unprecedented move, and quarantined americans that were returning from the region. Since that time, george, weve issued travel advisories for areas of south korea, italy, screened all persons coming on direct flights. But frankly as we watch the epicenter of the coronavirus shift from china and south korea to europe, the president thought it was proper for us to impose a 30day suspension on all travel from continental europe, and well be screening all americans that are returning, george, and requesting that they voluntarily quarantine for 14 days. The key here, according to all our health experts, is that we prevent we prevent the coronavirus from being brought further into our country, but also that we continue to focus resources on those areas of the country where we have what is known as community spread. Thats what i want to its a combination of approaches. Thats what i want to press you on, mr. Vice president. How is banning some travel from europe going to make much difference . The virus is already here. 44 states plus the District Of Columbia. Its already spreading person to person. Its a fair question, but the reality is that really just two weeks ago in italy there were less than 500 cases and now theres 12,000 cases in italy, george. We have tens of thousands of people that travel to the United States from europe every day. 70 of new cases in the world were in europe. And when we looked yesterday at at the what was then the 35 states where we had cases, about 30 of them could be traced to contacts with europe. So the president again made another unprecedented decision in suspending all travel from europe because we essentially want we essentially want to stop the flow of people bringing the coronavirus here, but then continuing to surge resources particularly into california, washington state, new york and and other communities where weve seen community spread. Its a combination of efforts thats being driven by the Top Health Experts in the world on our tax force. The president has shown again yesterday a willingness to take Decisive Action on multiple levels to protect the American People. The president said last night that the Health Insurance industry agreed to waive all copayments for coronavirus treatments. Is that accurate . Previously they had only extended it to coronavirus testing. We met last week with all the top Health Insurance companies, and i know how grateful the president was that those Health Insurance companies agreed to waive all copays on testing. So not treatments . We dont want any american to be concerned about the cost of getting testing, george. So not treatments. Its not copayments for treatments . And medicare. What we also are making sure that medicaid and medicare cover the treatment for anyone who contracts the coronavirus, and Health Companies are also working with us to include that treatment as well and Health Insurance coverage. Were making steady progress. Were going to continue to make a very clear message to americans that if for any reason you believe you have been exposed to the coronavirus or you have symptoms, we dont want people to be worried about the cost of testing, to be worried about the cost of treatment. And also relatedly, george, as the president made clear last night, were working with congress and exploring actions the president can take to make sure that hourly wage earners know that you can stay home without risking losing a paycheck or losing your job if you feel youve been exposed to the coronavirus. As the president said, this is a critical time. Thank you for your time this morning. Thank you, george. I want to clarify something. The Health Industry people did say overnight they are covering testing, but not treatments. Glad you cleared that up. Big difference. Thank you, george. The coronavirus is confirmed to be in every state. Tom llamas is in one of the hardest hit cities in the country, new rochelle theyre distributing food. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, good morning to you. In this suburb of new york city, there are more than 100 reported cases. Many families need help because the schools are closed. Activities have been canceled and at any moment, the National Guard is set to deliver hundreds of thousands of pounds of food. That gives you an idea of the severity of the problems here in neu new rochelle as americans are waking up to a new reality. This morning, there is no more debate. Coronavirus is virtually everywhere. The World Health Organization calling it a pandemic meaning the worldwide spread of a new disease. Bottom line, its going to get worse. Reporter here in the u. S. , top Health Officials like dr. Anthony fauci Briefing Congress saying the disease will keep spreading. Americans need to take it more seriously. It is ten times more lethal than the seasonal flu. Reporter at least 44 states and the District Of Columbia with confirmed cases. The disease has killed at least 37 americans. With cases growing, so is disruption. This massachusetts hospital in norwood near boston set up new tents outside its emergency room doors awaiting new cases for potential future testing. In new york with more than 200 confirmed cases, an active containment zone just outside of manhattan in new rochelle, a onemile radius where certain areas are off limits. The states biggest outbreak linked back to that new rochelle attorney still in critical condition. Never in your mind would you expect that. The city that you live, like new rochelle, would be the epicenter of the epicenter with the most people infected with this virus. Reporter and one of new york citys biggest parades of the year now officially postponed. Governor andrew cuomo putting a halt to the st. Patricks day parade, an event that attracts 1 to 2 million spectators every year. Nationwide, the virus has prompted more than 1,500 schools to close impacting more than a million students. In washington so far, the hardest hit area in the u. S. , at least 30 deaths. In the seattle area, officials shutting down schools for 53,000 students. Officials banning all events with 250 or more people. Its similar to what you might think of as an Infectious Disease equivalent of a major earthquake that will shake us for weeks and weeks. Reporter this as other cities across the country are taking drastic measures as well. Overnight, california Health Officials issuing a new policy saying large gatherings that include 250 people or more should be postponed or canceled and that smaller gatherings that do not allow social distancing of 6 feet per person should do the same. And oregon also issuing a similar advisory against 250 or more people at any type of gathering, and the world famous st. Patricks parade in savannah, georgia just canceled. Guys back to you. Thank you, tom. Now to the announcement from the nba overnight suspending its season until further notice. The news coming after a utah jazz player tested positive for the coronavirus. Also the ncaa also announcing that fans will not be able to attend march madness games. T. J. Holmes is at Madison Square garden for us this morning. Good morning, t. J. Reporter hey there, robin.

These games tonight are going to finish, and then thats where the hiatus will start. Reporter four other games last night were allowed to finish including the nuggets facing the mavericks with owner mark cuban in attendance as the news broke.

My message to people is to not dismiss this, and to take it seriously and to not underestimate it, and to be very to make it very clear to them that this is coming and this is already in the United States. Youre only weeks behind us, and you need to know that. So people need to take action now. Reporter and a top Infectious Disease specialist we spoke to based in milan told us that places like the u. S. And the uk are just two to three weeks behind the situation that theyre currently seeing in italy. And again, he reiterates now is the time for people to prepare. And guys, just to show you the desperation that theyre feeling right now in milan, look at this. The archbishop there in milan climbing to the top of the church playing to a statue of mary. Shes known as the symbol of milan. He is praying for her to protect his city. Its hard not to get emotional when you watch that, guys. A lot of prayers are being said, maggie. Thank you. Joining us now is our chief medical correspondent, dr. Jennifer ashton, and from washington is tom bossert, Abc News National security analyst and a former Homeland Security adviser and counterterrorism adviser for President Trump. Jen, flatten the curve. Thats what were hearing now. Explain what that means. Youre going to hear that a lot. We started talking about it here about a week ago. What that refers to is what steps can be taken in the setting of an Infectious Disease outbreak to slow the spread and buy us time. So if you look at this animation and you think of this line across that goes horizontally as Health Care Capacity and you look at the red peak as what could happen without any protective measures or actions taken, that represents patients and burden on the Health Care System. Ifcath c whicift in how we function in our society, but actually in peoples lives and outcomes. And tom, theres so much confusion and controversy over this travel ban that the president announced last night, whether that can actually help flatten the curve. First he was suggesting it would go to trade, and then he was going to ban all travel. Now its just europeans, doesnt even include the United Kingdom. And we heard maggie rulli say thats where theyll see a huge spike in cases. How much of a difference can this make, and how did it get into the speech with so many holes in it . Yeah. Unfortunately, george, those travel restrictions and additional screening measures are going to have little to no effect at this stage when controlling the spread of the virus. I think people perhaps misunderstand that the virus is here already in large numbers and the reason were only 10 to 12 days behind italy is that disease takes some time to show symptoms in the people that have already been infected. So containment at this stage is not the best option. Tom, you have been outspoken about the need to act immediately to ensure that our Health Care System remains viable. So what more should we be doing right now . Michael, one of the biggest misunderstandings about those measures that dr. Jen just discussed is that they can be selectively implemented. Thats not the case. When we developed these recommendations for the country, we tested whether you could remove one or two and still achieve this virus spread result of flattening that curve and we found that we couldnt. We dont know why, but people now that are deciding to limit events, lets say of 250 people, but keep their schools open, removing one can defeat all and so its important they understand to do more is to flatten that curve by implementing all of these very restrictive interventions. Definitely have to keep that in mind, tom. Jen, you are out there. You are an active member of the medical community. What are you seeing . A lot of concern. Some confusion, but again in medicine, we you know, we do practice drills, you know, so that we can respond. We still are going about taking care of patients with every day things. That doesnt stop. Im seeing a doubling down on some of those things that tom mention mentiod, that i mentioned. I think its important because those are steps that people can take right now to protect themselves and the community. Were talking about things that are social distancing measures that help both communities and individuals, closing schools, canceling large gatherings. Were seeing that left and right, restricting nonessential travel. Cleaning your hands, avoiding close contact with those who are sick. All these other things, cleaning and disinfecting and avoiding known contact with sick people. Those are important, robin. And as weve said it before, we have to think about what we can do with not just ourself, but those around us. What if we start feeling sick or our kids are starting to feel sick . You have to balance out this concern. For sure. But also not wanting to overwhelm the system. 100 , george. My advice is do what you would have done six months ago. If you have a fever six months ago, you should have been staying home. Right now you should be doing the same thing. If you would have gone to an emergency room because your symptoms are that severe, thats what you should do today. Good advice. Jen ashton, thank you very much. Well keep covering this all morning long. Some other stories as well this morning including harvey weinstein. Hes been sentenced to 23 years in prison for Sexual Assault.

The 66yearold likened the me too movement to mccarthyism saying i was the first example and now there are thousands of men who are being accused. His attorneys outraged by the outcome. That sentence that was just handed down by this court was obscene. Reporter but swift reaction from his accusers including actresses rose mcgowan, ashley judd and Rosanna Arquette writing in a statement Harvey Weinsteins regullegacy will al be that he is a convicted rapist, but not amount of sentencing will erase the damaged hes done. I hope the sentence sends a clear message that times have changed and more women need to speak out for themselves. Reporter weinstein will undergo a medical evaluation, and the state will determine where he will serve his time. His attorneys say they plan to file his appeal in july, but he faces four counts of Sexual Misconduct in los angeles. He has maintained any encounters though have been consensual.

And overnight President Trump addressed the nation from the oval office. He announced new emergency measures and travel restrictions. We want to go back to cecilia vega at the white house. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter President Trump has been minimizing this for weeks saying it would go like a miracle, but now hes saying he is implementing the most aggressive and comprehensive action to combat a virus in modern history. In an Oval Office Address to the nation, President Trump promising what he called tough but necessary action to combat the coronavirus, taking the extraordinary step of limiting travel between the United States and europe for the next 30 days. Smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow. Reporter the new restrictions bar most foreign nationals coming from europe from entering the United States beginning tomorrow at midnight. And while the United Kingdom is exempt, the president blamed european allies for not doing more. The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from china and other hot spots. As a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States were ceded by travelers from europe. Reporter one thing is clear. No longer is President Trump saying this is a virus that will just go away on its own. If we are vigilant and we can reduce the chance of infection, reporter well, just a few days ago, President Trump was adamant saying his rallies would still go on. That is changing. The major shift from the white house right now, they are canceling a number of large scale events the president was supposed to attend, george. Theyre saying this is out of an abundance of caution due to the coronavirus outbreak. So clear were in a new phase here. Cecelia, thank you. Robin . After that 30day travel ban from europe to the u. S. , the state department issued a blanket warning to americans to reconsider travel abroad. Gio benitez joins us now from reagan national, and has all the latest on that. Gio, good morning. Reporter robin, good morning. Were just learning that a passenger arriving at Palm Beach International airport from jfk last night has tested positive with the novel coronavirus. Heres what we know right now. On that jetblue flight, there were 114 passengers on board plus the crew. Fire rescue officials spoke to all of the other passengers, especially those seated near the coronavirus patient telling them to monitor their health over the next few days. Were told they were evaluated on the plane before deplaning. This as tensions are already high. This morning, the state department is urging americans to reconsider any travel abroad, even areas without coronavirus outbreaks because return travel may just be restricted without notice. We already know the Airline Industry is taking a massive financial hit here. So the big question, how will this affect airlines and all of those workers . Guys. Unanswered questions. All right.

Viola davis also taking note writing, you were born worthy, therefore you were born beautiful. All those loving words heard, digested and accepted by little ariyonna.

Play it. I will survive, i will survive oh, as long as i know how to ll spare you, but as gloria writes, it only takes 20 seconds to survive. Perfect. That is pop news, everybody. Thank you, lara. That was great. We move on now to our gma cover story. More on questions about the coronavirus pandemic and whether the u. S. Health care system is prepared for a possible escalation. We saw what happened in italy, and the big question is could that happen here too in our hospitals . Steve osunsami joins us from outside cdc headquarters in atlanta. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning to you, george. Here from the cdc, Health Officials are warning that hospitals across the country in both rural and urban areas could see a flood of coronavirus cases. Already doctors from coast to coast are sending emails to their patients warning them not to come into the Doctors Office if theyre sick with this, but instead to head into the emergency room. Hospitals across the country this morning are bracing for the worst with tents like these popping up outside Emergency Rooms. Boston, san jose and Salt Lake City setting up what they call surge tents. Inside them, Health Care Workers are preparing for potential overflows and the need to isolate people sick with the coronavirus. Some Health Officials are also worried that there are not enough medical supplies. I believe that if we have a major outbreak, we are definitely vulnerable to shortages. Reporter something they need greatly are ventilators who help patients who are having trouble breathing. The 2010 cambridge study estimated there are only about 160,000 ventilators in the u. S. That can be put into the field, but based on the current infection rate, the number of ventilators needed in this pan democrat you can would exceed that. A hospital in long island saying theyre prepared giving gma a behindthescenes look at additional beds and ventilators that they have at the ready. So when you come into our emergency department, you would see a typical stretcher that we place patients on. We have equipment to monitor the vital signs and in extreme cases if needed, we have ventilators if needed. Patients in severe distress. Reporter this is why so much stock is being put into social distancing. There is the hope that this will ease some of these concerns. Steve, thanks very much. Jen ashton is back for more on this. Explain to everybody what we know about our capacity right now. Well, the short answer, george, is the u. S. Critical Surge Capacity to deal with a Public Health crisis is unknown, okay . The last real data came from 2015, 2013, 2010, but i want you to think of four ss here because it depends on these four factors. It depends on space and supply, not just ventilators, but other things used to care for critically ill patients, and staff and systems. Theres a lot being made of the number of ventilators. They dont run themselves, and they need respiratory therapists and Critical Care nurses and that is really the ratelimiting step in that. All of these factors have to be taken into account. There are so many concerns out there, doc. What can we do to address these concerns . Well, look. A lot of that stuff should have been going on in the past. We can address things right now. Theres a system or theory called reverse triage. If our Health Care Systems and hospitals become overwhelmed, then its careful and safe disposition of patients who can go home or can go to other facilities, rooms being transferred from one purpose to another, and im sure that Major Medical centers and hospitals are starting to look at that right now, but thats why its so important to remember that hospitals generally dont have a lot of free beds. Reanceyontly knows that. Its not like theyre just sitting there vacant waiting for patients. Thats why its so important on a community level, a population level and individual level to take steps so the patients who need care of all kinds and for all reasons can get that care. Have to get ahead of it. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Appreciate you as always. Were going to switch gears now to duchess meghan and the pictures from inside her final solo engagement before returning to her and harrys new home in canada. Janai norman is here with that. Hey, michael, good morning. This was a private engagement for the duchess with 11 students giving meghan the opportunity to talk with many of them oneonone. These are the first photos from inside duchess meghans final solo engagement. The duchess emotional while she was talking to students tackling so many issues from pollution to Public Health. For her it was a bitter sweet moment. The emotions were high and the tears she had held back during that engagement knowing it was the last time she was at Buckingham Palace as a working royal. Reporter all part of her support for accessible education for all, a cause she plans to keep supporting as she and harry embark on that new life. Bittersweet goodbyes for the couple as they departed the uk. For harry and meghan, although their team at the castle was small, they were like a family. They leave behind a loyal team that has really been by their side through some of the darkest moments. The duchess became royal patron of the association of commonwealth universities last year, taking that role over from the queen who was patron for 33 years. The sussexes are ready to begin their official transition later this month. Lara . Janai, thank you so much. We turn to the bachelor bombshell leaving fans stunned. Were hearing from former bachelor jason with his advice for pilot pete. Diane macedo is here with this story. People cant stop talking about it. The most dramatic finale ever, right . This breakup might feel familiar to bachelor nation. Bachelor pete is revealing hes in love with madison, the woman he did not propose to. Hes getting some advice from a bachelor who has been there as his former fiancee, hannah ann, speaks out. Reporter its deja vu for bachelor nation. Hannah ann giving pilot pete his ring back after realizing he still has feelings for madison. Were done. Reporter then after coming face to face with peter for the First Time Since the breakup on live television. If you want to be with a woman, you need to become a real man. Reporter back in 2009, former bachelor Jason Mesnick found himself in a similar situation calling it quits with thenfiancee melissa on tv and asking for a Second Chance with runnerup molly, now his wife. My piece of advice for him is hes going to have to take his licks. I mean, he and i, very similar, you know, made some really bad decisions in hurting specific women and girls along the way. Just be apologetic. Reporter hannah ann tells the bachelor happy hour podcast about their relationship. Peter does not own up to the full truth. Just like on our engagement day he knew if he told me where his heart and head was at, the outcome would have been different. Reporter hannah ann sharing this final thought. If you look back on the season, you see peters pattern of behavior being inconsistently in decisive and confused and i would be running for the hills. One of the most heated moments of the finale came when Peters Family made clear they do not approve of madison, but peter and madison seem determined to give it a shot, and now its Clare Crawleys turn. Shes getting ready to be the new bachelorette. Im sure it will be the most dramatic season ever. Here we go again. Thank you so much, diane. Now to ginger. Time for a gma moment.

You can always find its us welcome back to gma, everybody. Happy thursday. You know, when it comes to the food, theres nothing like a Peanut Butter and jelly. One of americas favorites. According to a survey by i wish i would have read that before. By a Peanut Butter company. The average american will eat 3,000 of those in their lifetime. Robin . Im going to help us out here, george. Im going to go over here. We have richard. Richard blais is here. Yes, yes, yes, yes. He is fabulous. He does it all. He is going to hes the hes here to show us how to make bread and in Uncertain Times its like comfort food. It can be so much joy. Thank you. This is the most iconic sandwich i think in american history, right . I would agree. Were going to make it together. Were going to start off with the bread. It can be controversial. I think pb j is just with your classic white bread. Im good with that. Then it comes to im okay with wheat as well if you want to do that. It comes to how you put the Peanut Butter on the bread. A friend of mine has recently convinced me to put Peanut Butter on both sides of the bread. It seems like people are fans of that. Both sides . Both sides. You disagree. This is a very controversial sandwich. You do that, lara . Yeah. The reason is by putting Peanut Butter on both sides, that will seal the jelly in the sandwich. If you are Packing Lunch for your kids or youre on a road trip, the bread wont get soggy. Oh. From the time. Youre making basically, like, a ravioli of bread. The jelly will go in here. Yours looks better than mine, robin. Im an expert. You do everything great. There we go. Its a little harder to spread when you do the jelly on top of the Peanut Butter and then the bread will go right on top there. I did beat you timewise. Yours looks better than mine, but i got mine done first. What if you want to make your home make it home made, how do you do that . Super easy. One of these things that might sound intimidating, but really isnt. We have our food processer here. We have some roasted and salted peanuts and then a little bit of peanut oil or could be coconut oil, and then this is how simple it is. Just going to be popped right in the food processer. All right . And then that pulses. Its going to grind up. This is the Peanut Butter that comes out of it. Wow. Thats the Peanut Butter that comes out of it. Thats as simple as it is. What if you have a peanut allergy . If you have one, like my youngest daughter embry, the way to do it is take an alternative nut butter. Right now i dont know if you know this, cashews are super hot right now. Ak cashe and cauliflower are out of control right now. I can see the expression of michael. I was, like, yeah. Cashews tend to be the simplest first alternative. Theyre nice and creamy. Theyre going to make a nice alternative to peanuts. I drizzled honey or agave on it. Jelly is also easy to make at home. Its simple. Really . Okay. This is raspberry juice. You have to juice some raspberries. Razz berry is normally the easiest one to use. It has pectin in it. So you dont have to use anything else. Add some sugar. That is a lot of sugar. It is a lot of sugar. Its a classic raspberry jelly recipe. If you want to cut back, you can add some pectin. That will give it the gelled consistency. This is what you are left with. This is home made raspberry jelly that you can make. Its simple. You got Peanut Butter and jelly or diagonal. Im going to pop over here. Youre saying diagonal, and you know what . Im going to go straight down the middle, robin. Im going straight down the middle. Whys that . Heres why. I feel like this sandwich is a little more rectangular. I grew up with diagonal. Theres no comparison, come on. What about crust . Is it okay to take the crust off . I dont know. What do you think, guys . I mean, im lazy, but i like it off. If you are the cook at home and you take the crust off, you can snack on the crust while youre finishing the sandwich. Because youre the cook at home, you do that. Thats right. Diagonals okay. You know what . This is a good oldfashioned comfort food. Have it there at home and just kind of absolutely, but also very controversial and i have a new podcast. You do . Its called food court, and guess what we do on the podcast . What do you do . We argue about things like how you should slice your Peanut Butter and jelly sandwich. Get his tips on goodmorningamerica. Com, and check out his podcast food court, with richard blais. Lara .

This is where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to earth. Meet 22. I dont want to go to earth. Stop fighting this. I dont wanna. I already know everything about earth and i dont want anything to do with it. Youre missing out on the joys of life like pizza. We cant we cant taste here . All that stuff is in your body. No smell, no taste. Or touch. See . Dramatic choir music dramatic choir music dramatic choir music its the rush of relaxation. Introducing the allnew lincoln corsair. We are back now with the stars of the new freeform series motherland fort salem, executive produced by will ferrell and adam mckay, and these three women star as witches who fight for their country. Please welcome taylor hickson, Jessica Sutton and Ashley Nicole williams. Welcome, ladies. Hi. We were just having a lot of fun sitting here. I was like can you believe they play witches because theyre so nice. But youre u. S. Soldiers who have supernatural powers. So i have a question. If you could have a supernatural power, what would it be . Flying or teleportation. That would be my second because im from south africa. Traveling is yeah. 16 to 30 hours on a plane. That would help to be there. My first would be taylors characters gift. A healer. That would be pretty amazing. Yeah. I definitely want to read minds and teleportation. I think we have that in common. We can teleport to be with each other at the same time. All the time. Youre here on this couch and then sitting on a couch at home in two seconds. I know. You all play witches, but its such a physical and demanding role. A lot of action going on. What was the toughest thing they asked to you do . I would say learning rope dart. Yeah. Thats an ancient forgotten martial art and its something that ancient chinese farmers used to protect themselves because they were too poor to afford heavy machinery, guns or anything like that. They put darts on the end of it. We used balls because we would cut our face off, you know, because, you know, we were hitting ourselves in the hit. Very uncoordinated. Were not the greatest at handeye coordination, but we had a lot of fun doing it, and great trainers. A couple of concussions along the way. Were still here. We were, like, real stuntwomen. We put in the work. Were going to watch some of your work right now. Roll this clip. We had training all day. None of this is elective. Your absence was noted. Call the commander in chief. Look, i know this a lot for you, but this is just the beginning. Guys, please. Lets all take a breath. This is not a vacation, tally. Its life and death out there. You think i dont know that . Oh. Fight me. Lets all take a breath. This show has quite the ensemble. Its dominated by women. Taylor, how was it being on set . Its so incredible to have this these idealisms coming from the mind of a man initially. And yet lawrence. Right. The genius mind. It shows a shift in our culture, but i said i didnt have the greatest relationships with women growing up. I had a lot of male friends and felt very misunderstood by the females in my community. So i was intimidated walking on set. Its always a competition i feel like. You see that in the community and in men. I tnkts sethi that motherland does so beautifully. It conveys the breaking of that stigma. And the diverse class from all over the world. South africa, canada, america, americ sweden, a diversity or Sexual Orientation or a gender or skin color. We break a lot of stigmas. Age as well. As long as you keep pointing out differences, there will always be differences. This has been one of my most fun interviews. Really. I love you three together. Such great energy, and cannot wait to see the show. Its motherland fort salem. It premieres march 18th at 9 00 p. M. Eastern on freeform. Make sure you check it out. Over to you. Ill do just that.

Im proud of hannah ann for standing up for herself, and im wondering where peter and madison are going to go because he couldnt give us an answer. It will be interesting. Lets talk narcolepsy. That is a disorder that both you and i live with, and many people live with. But you were fortunate in a way to be diagnosed early. Tell me how that all went down. So i was diagnosed when i was in high school, 13 years ago. Im really lucky to have been diagnosed so early. I felt like i was missing chunks of my day being so exhausted and the diagnosis is the hardest part of its the hardest process. A lot of people, it takes them ten years to get diagnosed and theres resources. Thats why im here today. So much can happen in those ten years. Ive got stories for days. Thats the thing is there are a lot of people that just have no idea that they have narcolepsy. Exactly. It goes misdiagnosed all the time. There is a website called morethantired. Com, and that provides screeners and sleep specialists that people can go see. Its a perfect resource that you can take a questionnaire and get answers about symptoms, and i think that thats really amazing because i didnt have that when a really see do to make it better. Exactly. Ecialist coming. Thank you for having me. Michael, sara and keke, what you got . Im hanging out with these two. They look groovy. Thank you. Big show coming up.
