00:00Good morning, America. Breaking news in the Middle East. More than two dozen people killed

00:07and nearly 200 others injured near an aid distribution site. That, according to the

00:12Gaza Health Ministry, which accuses Israeli forces of opening fire on the gathering crowd.

00:19As prospects of a ceasefire deal appear slimmer than ever. Our Ian Pannell, live from the region.

00:25Global backlash. President Trump's promise to double tariffs on imported steel,

00:31drawing sharp reaction by the European Commission. As tensions escalate with China over Trump's claims

00:37that the country isn't following through on its trade promises. Air quality alerts. Smoke from

00:44more than 180 Canadian wildfires blowing smoke into the U.S., creating hazy and unhealthy conditions.

00:51Who's seeing the worst of it?

00:55Legal battles. The look ahead in the Sean Diddy Combs case. Cross-examination for a key witness

01:00who accuses him of physical and sexual violence. While the defense has its turn in the Karen Reed

01:06murder trial, could she take the stand? Our legal expert gives his take on the cases.

01:13Dramatic rescue. A hiker trapped by a 700-pound boulder in the Alaskan wilderness pinned by the leg.

01:20I thought for sure any second was going to break. The quick-thinking actions of his wife and how he

01:24was finally airlifted to safety. A couple tears in the studio this morning. Yeah, it was a sad night

01:29for New York fans. But the same can't be said for the Pacers, who are headed to the NBA Finals. We have

01:36more on last night's game in just a moment. But we do have a lot of other news to cover this morning,

01:40including international reaction to President Trump's latest tariff threat, a 50% surcharge on

01:45steel imports into the U.S. Plus, as the summer travel season kicks into high gear, the CDC issuing

01:51a new warning to travelers about the measles, with cases in the U.S. now topping 1,000. Yeah,

01:56got to watch that. But we do begin here with the chaotic scene in Gaza this morning. More than two

02:01dozen people reported killed and nearly 200 others injured near an aid distribution site.

02:07ABC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell is in Tel Aviv with what we're learning right now.

02:11Ian, good morning. Yeah, good morning, Gio. It's hard to imagine things getting worse in Gaza, but a shooting

02:19incident this morning as desperate people tried to get food. And now a ceasefire deal that appears to be going

02:24sideways means there's little end to the suffering there. This morning, more than 30 people killed trying to

02:33get food in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Ambulances packed with victims flooding into

02:39Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunus. The militants and eyewitnesses accusing Israeli forces of opening fire

02:45near a U.S.-run food distribution center. The IDF saying it's unaware of injuries caused by its troops,

02:52but it's reviewing what happened. The incident comes as prospects of a breakthrough ceasefire deal fade.

02:57The U.S. special envoy to the Middle East slamming the Lacer's proposal from Hamas as totally unacceptable.

03:03The group pushing back against a plan proposed by President Trump and backed by Israel.

03:08It would have seen a 60-day ceasefire as well as the release of some hostages. In exchange,

03:13Israel would withdraw its forces to a buffer zone, release some Palestinian prisoners and allow more

03:19aid to flow into the strip. Hamas countering, saying it also wants guarantees that negotiations

03:24will lead to an end to the war and a withdrawal of Israeli forces. It also wants humanitarian aid to

03:29be handled by the U.N. Israel launching nearly daily attacks since breaking the last ceasefire in mid-March,

03:39insisting it's targeting terrorist infrastructure, but a humanitarian crisis there growing deeper.

03:46In the south of the strip, Nasser Medical Complex overwhelmed with patients.

03:50I woke up to non-stop bombing and all I could think about is the number of patients that that's going

03:55to bring through the door that we can't cope with here.

03:58Well, we've had a statement from GHF. Remember, that's the American-run organization that's

04:05distributing aid, and it's claiming that the deaths and injuries are, quote, untrue and fabricated.

04:10They're also denying that any incident took place, despite evidence to the contrary,

04:15even Dr. Rose, who you just heard from there, talking about it right from ER. And as we've seen

04:20again this morning, the death and displacement in Gaza just continues. Witt.

04:26Ian Pannell for us this morning. Thank you. We turn now to the latest on President Trump's trade

04:30war, the European Union warning of future uncertainty in the global economy. ABC senior

04:36White House correspondent Selena Wang joins us now. And Selena, a number of countries are

04:40firing back at Trump's new tariff threats. Hey, Witt. Yeah, good morning. They are, in fact,

04:45they are slamming Trump's latest promise to double the tariff rate on imported steel to 50 percent.

04:51The European Commission is saying that this is going to cause further uncertainty. They are

04:56warning of countermeasures, saying, quote, this adds further uncertainty to the global economy and

05:00increases costs for consumers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. And the United Steel

05:06Workers Union in Canada says these tariffs are a direct attack on Canadian jobs that would completely

05:11shut them out of the U.S. market. Now, this comes after a chaotic week of legal back and forth

05:17when it comes to President Trump's tariffs. On Wednesday, a federal court effectively stopped

05:22Trump's trade war ruling. He doesn't have the power to impose tariffs. That only Congress does.

05:27Then a day later, an appeals court reversed that, saying the tariffs can continue at least for now

05:32as this legal process plays out. So all of this as tensions escalate once again with China. Remember,

05:38guys, it was just weeks ago that the two countries struck a deal to pause their extremely high tariffs so

05:44they could hash out this broader deal. Well, the Trump administration now is saying that those talks

05:49have stalled, with Trump accusing China for failing to hold up their end of the bargain.

05:53But caught up in the middle of all of this is American businesses and consumers. Several major

05:59retailers have said they've already raised prices or they plan to raise them soon. Janae, as you said,

06:04American businesses and consumers caught in the middle. Selena Wang, thank you. Now let's bring in

06:08ABC's Jay O'Brien from Washington. And Jay, President Trump has faced some criticism for backing

06:13down as he enters another high stakes trade week. Yeah, Janae, just this week we saw the president

06:18push back strongly when a reporter brought up that Wall Street meme in the Oval Office called

06:23the quote unquote taco trade, which stands for Trump always chickens out. Now Trump is reasserting that

06:29he's delayed any tariffs over the course of this process in order to reach productive trade deals and

06:34that this is all part of an ongoing negotiation process meant to push governments to the negotiating

06:40table. But it's true that while there is this anxiety and uncertainty that Selena mentioned,

06:45Trump has punted on some of his steepest tariffs from his steepest reciprocal tariffs, for instance,

06:50even to a 50 percent tariff that he announced a little bit more than a week ago on goods from the

06:55European Union. So all of that creates uncertainty among some business owners and consumers. And we're

07:01seeing that play out once again with these newly announced steel tariffs. Janae.

07:05It certainly was a moment when he was asked that question. At the same time, Jay, you've been

07:09looking into how the president's personal business interests and other possible conflicts are

07:14potentially colliding with his presidency. What more are we learning there?

07:18Yeah, there are a couple of places where ethics experts we've talked to as well as Democrats and

07:22even some Republicans say that they have concerns. One is real estate. The Trump family has multiple

07:28real estate dealings in countries in the Middle East, for example. Some of those deals closed in the weeks

07:34right before the president officially visited those very same countries. Another area is

07:39cryptocurrency. Trump affiliated companies have ties to various crypto ventures. Remember,

07:45the president even hosted that dinner for top investors in his personal meme coin last month.

07:51Now, the White House says that the president is following all applicable ethics rules and laws and

07:56that his family controls a trust that has his assets in it. And they say, quote,

08:01everything President Trump does is to benefit the American people. Janae.

08:06All right, Jay, we know you'll have more of that reporting coming up later on this week. Thanks

08:10for being with us and make sure to tune into this week later on. George Stephanopoulos speaks with top

08:15White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett about the legal battles over the Trump administration's

08:20sweeping tariffs. Plus, World Food Program executive director Cindy McCain discusses the ongoing

08:26hunger crisis in Gaza. Gio. Okay, Janae. Meanwhile, leaders from Russia and Ukraine could return to

08:32the table for a second round of peace talks. Russia offered to hold negotiations again in Istanbul

08:37tomorrow. But there are doubts over if the meeting will even happen. Ukraine is reportedly holding out

08:43on committing to show up for talks until Russia formally shares its demands. Moscow is refusing to reveal

08:50its terms with the Kremlin, insisting those details remain in secret until talks begin.

08:55Gio, now to the weather and the air quality concerns from those Canadian wildfires impacting parts of

09:01the Midwest. Meteorologist Brittany Bell from our New York station WABC is tracking all of it for us.

09:06Brittany, good morning. And good morning to you too. So the impacts continue today. So the entire

09:10state of Minnesota waking up to an air quality alert. And this was a scene in International Falls

09:15yesterday, the sunrise. You can barely make out the sun because of the haze and smoky conditions. I want

09:20to show you what's driving, who's being impacted by this smoke. The same area of low pressure that

09:25brought severe weather to portions of the East Coast, pushing a lot of this south and east across

09:29the upper Midwest and the Great Lakes. The smoke tracker is showing the higher concentration,

09:34stretching from Minnesota, Iowa, and then moving farther east towards the Great Lakes by Monday

09:39afternoon. Gio. All right, Brittany, thank you so much. We appreciate it. Meanwhile, court is back

09:44in session tomorrow for Sean Diddy Combs' federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial. He's pleaded

09:50not guilty. The rap mogul's former assistant, who is testifying under the pseudonym Mia, is expected to

09:55return to the witness stand for more on what's ahead in this trial and another high profile case. Let's go

10:00ahead and bring in ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmeyer. Brian, it is good to see you.

10:04Thanks for having me, guys. Okay, so Diddy's lawyers are getting ready to cross-examine Mia again. What

10:09do you expect to see there? I think more of the same. What we're seeing here is not a confrontation

10:13of the direct allegations that she made of sexual assault, forced labor, even rape as well. But

10:19instead, they're trying to juxtapose that relationship with social media. She's saying that,

10:24okay, on Sean Combs' birthday, he sexually assaulted her. But two or three days later,

10:28she's in a photo with Sean Combs on her own personal social media, talking about the great times and how

10:32he's a mentor and all these other positive things. And the argument I think they're trying to make is

10:36if this person was so horrible to you, why are you doing this? Now, of course, we've heard from Dr.

10:40Hughes, a sex trauma expert that explains some of this, but they're still trying to make the argument

10:44of maybe it didn't happen or it didn't happen the way you're articulating based on your social media

10:48and your reactions thereafter. And Brian, you've been inside the courtroom. What has this former

10:54assistant's temperament been like as she faces very difficult questions? I would say for 95% of it,

11:00meek, timid, small, both in the way that she presents herself. Oftentimes,

11:05even when she's speaking in direct examination, she's looking straight down, never really looking

11:09at the people that's asking her questions. The other 5% of the time I think is somewhat

11:13interesting is when she reads some of those text messages, especially text messages between

11:16friends like DRock, one of Sean Combs' assistant, she gets a little bubbly, I think, remembering some

11:21of the good times because throughout her testimony, she's said, when the highs were high,

11:25they were great. But when the lows were lows, it was very difficult. And those lows

11:29are what these allegations are stemming from. And there is so much more to be seen in that case.

11:33But Brian, we want to ask you about another high profile case on our radar. And that is the Karen

11:37Reed trial. She's accused of killing her then police officer boyfriend back in 2022. She's pleaded not

11:41guilty of that trial. Now in the hands of the defense, what kind of testimony could we be in

11:46for? And if I'm not mistaken, it's the defense that has a former juror from her first trial working

11:51with them, right? That is right. Because don't forget the first set of jurors, that was a hung jury.

11:55Well, a bit of an argument as to whether or not they decided not guilty on some, but still facing

11:58all of the trial charges. Here, I think it's going to be a battle of the experts and a very,

12:03very technical one that is. On Friday, they put on some of their first witnesses and

12:07with an engineer who was a reconstruction expert of that crash. And we're talking about the

12:11differences of little milliseconds where, well, did the accident happen at 1232 and 09 milliseconds,

12:18or was it 1232 and 29 milliseconds? We're really getting down to the nitty gritty here. But we may

12:25see witnesses who testified in the first trial, but not the second trial. Former officer Michael

12:29Proctor was not a witness by the prosecution in this trial as he was in the first one. Maybe the

12:34defense calls him. But also there's the question of whether or not Karen Reed takes the stand. I

12:38think the major difference there being a lot of her interviews and docuseries have been played

12:42in this trial. I think on the steps of the courthouse, she said TBD as to whether or not she'll testify.

12:47But it's her right to do so. She may or may not. Well, on that point, she didn't testify

12:52in that first trial. But now you're saying she potentially could. Could this help her? What do

12:55you think? So she could always testify. It is everyone's constitutional right to plead the fifth

13:00and not testify or get up there and testify. And I think what's unique about this second trial is,

13:05again, because a lot of her interviews were played in the trial, she might want to get up there and set

13:08the record straight in a way that she did it in the first trial. She might say, okay, when I was

13:14talking about this in this interview, I was simply opining. I wasn't saying what I did or didn't

13:18do. But this is very much a case of the government hasn't proven their case. The prosecution hasn't

13:23met their burden, but also to some degree, maybe she's innocent based on just the science of it all.

13:28Her testimony, her intent, her thought may not be the key to this case for the defense, but

13:33maybe she sees it differently. Yeah. Two very big cases. We always appreciate your analysis. Thank

13:37you, Brian. My pleasure. All right. We turn now to the increasing concerns about the measles and

13:42a new travel warning from the CDC as cases top 1000 in the US. ABC's Morgan Norwood joins us with

13:48the latest. Morgan, good morning. Hi, good morning to you with measles cases climbing both here and

13:53abroad. This morning, the CDC is urging travelers to check their vaccination status before checking

13:58into that international flight. This morning, as millions take to the skies in what's expected to be

14:05a busy summer travel season. A fresh warning from the CDC about measles, urging all international

14:11travelers to ensure they're fully vaccinated following an uptick in recent cases. Just last

14:16week, 42 new cases reported nationwide, bringing the total to more than a thousand across 32 states,

14:23mostly among people who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown. In Colorado,

14:29officials confirming the state's second outbreak of the year after three passengers on a

14:34Turkish Airlines flight tested positive, including one fully vaccinated adult. Health officials say

14:40while breakthrough cases among those vaccinated are rare, measles is extremely contagious and can

14:46linger in the air for up to two hours. Measles is one of the most infectious viruses that we know.

14:52Make sure that you're vaccinated and your risk for measles goes way down. As the CDC grapples

14:56with the growing number of measles cases, the agency quietly revisiting its COVID-19 vaccine guidance,

15:02saying children may receive the shot with guidance from their doctor. Just days after Health and Human

15:08Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said vaccines would no longer be recommended for healthy

15:13children and pregnant women. Pregnant women now left with no recommendation on whether to vaccinate.

15:19This, of course, is a debate between the public health establishment and those that may

15:24see vaccination as a choice. When, of course, we know that when we don't have enough vaccination

15:31in the community, increased risk occurs. And medical groups that we spoke with emphasize

15:36that the science and benefit of these vaccines hasn't changed, but they do worry that the shifting

15:41messaging from federal officials could leave patients confused. Guys,

15:44certainly has the potential too. Morgan, thank you for your reporting. We're getting a break from

15:48nasty weather up here in the Northeast, but this morning it's June, but it feels a little chilly.

15:52I was just going to say, like what? June 1st?

15:55Wait, but it's going to be upper 80s by midweek, right?

15:58Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

16:00You ready for the shorts?

16:01Looking forward to that.

16:02Thank you, Brittany.

16:06Thank you, Brittany. We appreciate it. All right, the NBA Finals, they are now set

16:09overnight. The Indiana Pacers sealing the deal at home with a Game 6 win against the Knicks,

16:13and ABC's Ike Ajachi is here now following it all. Our own baller. What's going on?

16:18Yes, that's right. Instead of those orange and blue skies, it was gloom and doom here in New York

16:24City and talks of next year. The Indiana Pacers turning the chapter in this now storied rivalry

16:29between these two teams. Indiana, with an emphatic win, sending the Pacers off to the finals for the

16:35second time in team history.

16:37But for the first time in 25 years, we're going to the NBA Finals.

16:43Overnight, the Indiana Pacers have done it, punching their ticket to the NBA Finals for the

16:50first time in over two decades, after beating the Knicks 125-108 in front of an electrified home crowd,

16:57closing out the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks keeping the score close throughout the first

17:06half, until the Pacers turned up the heat in the third quarter. The Pacer defense relentless,

17:18forcing 18 turnovers, turning them into easy points. Pascal Siakam winning the Larry Bird

17:28Eastern Conference Finals MVP award, making a statement, dropping 31 points and making plays

17:37on both ends of the court. I have like 100% belief in my teammates. Whenever we're down,

17:42you know, we always find a way. And we did that tonight. Tyrese Halliburton finding his groove late

17:46in the game, finishing with 21 points and 14 assists. The Knicks fighting hard,

18:01with Carl Anthony Towns battling through a knee injury to put up 22 points and 14 rebounds.

18:09As for Jalen Brunson, he just couldn't get it going against the tough Pacer defense,

18:15ending New York's playoff run with 19 points.

18:18Sucks, man. Simple as that. Sucks. Not winning tonight and being knocked out, but just proud of our guys.

18:26And in a full circle moment, Pacers legend and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, who was a key player on

18:31that 99-2000s Pacers squad that made it to the finals. Well, he was the color analyst for last night's

18:37game, which marks TNT's final NBA broadcast. You know, during that piece, you were telling us you're the

18:43biggest Knicks fan. You know, it was a tough one. Late night. You know, it's a late night,

18:48but you know what? Like I said, there's always next year. There we go. That's the hope of a

18:53Knicks fan. Yeah, we got it. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. And all eyes turn to the NBA

18:58finals where the Pacers will take on the Oklahoma Thunder. That's coming up. And ESPN's Malika

19:04Andrews is going to join us right here to break down the finals matchup. Looking forward to that.

19:08Also had here on GMA a deadly house explosion in a neighborhood near Kansas City.

19:13Yep. And plus also coming up an amazing survival story this morning, a hiker speaking out after

19:18being trapped for hours under a massive boulder in the Alaskan wilderness, how he made it out alive.

19:25Just an incredible story there and a special Pride Month edition of Binge This.

19:29Will Ganz is going to join us with movies you don't want to miss. We'll be right back.

19:32You're watching GMA on this Sunday morning, June 1st.

19:49All right. Welcome back to GMA. You know who that is. That's Lady Gaga doing the viral dance from the

19:53Netflix series Wednesday. And there's a reason because Mother Monster bringing that mesmerizing

19:59move over to a Netflix fan event last night revealing she will guest star in season two of

20:05the hit show. Okay. Gaga is set to play Rosalind Rotwood, a teacher at Wednesday's school.

20:11Wednesday season two drops August 6th. That's that's a perfect.

20:15Wow. Yeah, it does. Perfect. Perfect for you. I like it.

20:18Well, that's really cool. Now let's take a look at some of the other top stories that we're following

20:23on this Sunday morning. Dramatic images of a deadly house explosion just outside of Kansas City,

20:28Missouri. A powerful blast rocked a neighborhood in the town of Glassstone. Look at that. That house

20:34reduced to splinters. Police say the remains of an unidentified man and a dog were found in the rubble.

20:41Also, the maker of Oreo is ready to take a bite out of Aldi after waging copycat claims.

20:47Snack food maker Mondelez International is suing the supermarket chain. They claim that the packaging for

20:53Aldi's cookies and crackers blatantly copies their snacks like Chips Ahoy, Wheat Bins, and Oreos.

20:59Mondelez says Aldi's packaging is likely to confuse customers. The company is seeking monetary damages

21:05and wants Aldi to stop selling the snacks in question. With a glass of milk?

21:10Here I go. All right. Americans serving up history at the French Open. Eight U.S. tennis players are

21:17heading into the singles round of 16. That's five women and three men, including Coco Gauff,

21:22Madison Keyes, Tommy Paul, and Ben Shelton. The last time this many Americans made it this far in

21:27the French Open was 40 years ago. 1985. Oh, but I'm only 39 and I was 80. That's so funny.

21:35That was going to be shady. That drove it home, y'all. I was going to be like, remember that,

21:39you know? Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. We are going to start this half hour here

21:44with the hiker's incredible survival story. He found himself face down in a frigid creek trapped

21:50by a 700 pound boulder. His wife managing to keep his head above the water until help could arrive,

21:57and he's now speaking out about his ordeal. ABC's Melissa Adan is here with this incredible story.

22:02Good morning, Melissa. Good morning, Gio. It is really a remarkable survival story. The couple

22:07says they were hiking towards Godwin Glacier. It's a tourist destination in Alaska that they say

22:12they've hiked before, but this time it was like no other. This morning, a herring rescue for one

22:20Alaskan couple. As 61-year-old Kel Morris is hoisted to safety, seen here in this dramatic video.

22:28Morris was hiking a creek near a glacier just south of Anchorage with his wife over Memorial Day weekend,

22:35when suddenly the rocky terrain slid out from under him. Morris ending up pinned between a 700 pound

22:42boulder and the icy Alaskan waters below. It was pressed right in the center of like my left hamstring,

22:49and it was pressed and pinching up against the bone. There was enough, you know, flat rock underneath the

22:56leg to keep it from breaking it. But at the time, I thought for sure any second was going to break.

23:00His wife, Jo Rupp, a retired Alaska state trooper, trailing just a few feet behind him,

23:05rushing to his rescue, holding her husband's head above the rising glacial waters and calling for help.

23:11I've got to figure out the best way to save his life, because if I don't, he's going to be

23:18dead. The Seward Fire Department dispatching volunteer rescue firefighters and recruiting a

23:26private helicopter company to fly first responders to the remote location. They found Mr. Morris face

23:32down in the creek, just above freezing waters. He was hypothermic. He was in and out of consciousness.

23:38The seven rescuers using airbags, ropes and brute force to lift the boulder off Morris,

23:44air lifting him to the nearest hospital. And incredibly, he was released with only some light

23:50bruising. Now, Morris was pinned under that boulder for three hours, and luckily he's expected to make

23:58a full recovery. And he tells us he plans to continue hiking. But guys, he says he will stay

24:04on the trails next time. Yes, good idea. Incredible. Thank you, Melissa. Thank goodness for his wife.

24:09I know. Yep. And three hours, a long time to be trapped in that water. The Indiana Pacers with

24:14a solid win over the Knicks in front of their hometown crowd overnight. Now they're off to the

24:19NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night. ESPN's

24:25Malika Andrews joins us with a preview. Malika, good morning. You got the late nights and the early

24:30mornings with us. We always appreciate it. So let's jump right in here. The Pacers, of course,

24:34known for the fast-paced ball movement, while the Thunder rely on that strong defensive presence.

24:40So which style do you think has the edge here? You know, Whit, I'm going to give the edge here

24:46to the Oklahoma City Thunder. But our friend Shanae Agumake over here at ESPN, she always says

24:50styles make fights. In this case, I think styles are going to make for an absolutely cinematic

24:55showdown here. Because you have Tyrese Halliburton and the Indiana Pacers, who are the best at not

25:00turning the ball over against who? Oklahoma City, who turns the ball or forces other teams to turn

25:06the ball over better than any other team in the NBA. So it's going to be very, very interesting. But

25:11OKC is so deep, particularly defensively. Indiana, an incredibly deep team offensively in particular,

25:18but they have their defensive dogs here. This is going to be one of those series that I think is

25:23going to be really grit and grinded out all the way through these games. And Malika, look,

25:27you were just talking about him. Tyrese has been exceptional in the playoffs, including a historic

25:32triple-double in the Eastern Conference Finals. How do you see him matching up against MVP SGA?

25:39Yeah, what a showman, right, Janae? I mean, watching the evolution of Tyrese Halliburton as he's

25:44in the garden, silencing fans, creating these historic comebacks. And still, it's Pascal Siakam who wins

25:52Eastern Conference MVP. I don't actually expect Tyrese Halliburton to be the one guarding

25:57Shea Gildas Alexander, right? They have some stronger defenders here on the Indiana Pacers that

26:03they're going to put on the league MVP. But one thing about these two young stars, I think they're

26:07going to bring out their best in each other. You have Shea, who I call Shea Butter because he's just

26:11so smooth, he's so cool. And then you have Tyrese, who really lives out loud and his game is really an

26:17exclamation point at all moments. And so I think it's going to be really fun to watch,

26:22although I don't necessarily think they're going to match up all that much in the actual X's and O's.

26:26And both teams are obviously vying for their first NBA championship. So Malika,

26:30the pressure, the pressure they must be feeling as they approach the finals.

26:35Yeah, I know. But youth is always, youth is not always wasted on the young, right, Gio? And I think

26:40that that's the case with these two teams, because you hear a certain level of maturity when they're

26:45talking about, we're really excited. We're going to enjoy this win for right now, is what Tyrese

26:50said after they beat the New York Knicks last night. And then we're going to refocus. Something

26:54that I'm keeping my eye on here, though, is the rest versus Russ, where you have the Indiana Pacers

26:59who just have a couple of days before games start on Thursday. Oklahoma City wrapped up their series

27:03last week and thankfully allowed me a few days at home here in Los Angeles, right? So who's going to

27:08have the edge there, particularly in this game? One is something that I'm going to be keeping an eye on.

27:12But the Oklahoma City Thunder, they have been so mature beyond their years. They're one of the

27:16youngest teams ever to make the finals. I think that trend is going to continue.

27:20All right. Because we like to put you on the spot every now and then.

27:23Who do you think takes the series? How many games? What are your insights?

27:28All right. I'm going to go with the Oklahoma City Thunder. And I'm going to say in six games,

27:33I would love to see them be able to win at home because they have one of the best,

27:38most raucous, awesome crowds in the NBA. But I think the thing about the Indiana Pacers is they

27:44just kind of keep coming at you and they get these tricky games that maybe they shouldn't have.

27:48But if SGA can win a title this year, my friends, he's going to have the scoring title,

27:53the MVP, and a NBA title. The only other players that have ever done that, Shaq,

27:57Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

28:00Hey, the trifecta. I love that you go there, too, for us. You don't hold back.

28:04We appreciate it, Malika. All right. Get some rest. We'll talk to you soon. Of course,

28:08you can catch game one of the NBA Finals Thursday night right here on ABC at 830.

28:13And coming up on Good Morning America, our special Pride Month edition of Binge This

28:17with some old favorites.

28:24We are back now on GMA for the kickoff to Pride Month.

28:27Will Gantz is here with a special edition of Binge This. And it looks like...

28:31Put the horn back. Put the horn.

28:33Well, that's a Sunday.

28:34There are so many good movies to choose from, Will. So first up,

28:37let's look at some feel-good movies about LGBTQ characters.

28:41Yes. Emphasis on feel-good here. Let's start with Fire Island.

28:43This is a retelling of Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice, starring Joel Kim Booster,

28:48Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricomora, Matt Rogers, and Margaret Cho, among others.

28:52It's a laugh-out-loud funny examination of chosen family and the ways we let our best friends love

28:57us when we can't love ourselves. It's streaming on Hulu, but it's rated R, you guys. So that one

29:02is not for the whole family. I will say, though, one that is for the whole family, Love Simon. This

29:07is about a high school student who hasn't told his friends or family yet that he's gay or that he's

29:12fallen for an anonymous classmate online. It's so sweet. And there's a scene in which Simon comes

29:17out to his mom, who's played by Jennifer Garner. And my wish is that every parent could see this so that

29:21they might have the language that they would need should they find themselves in a similar situation.

29:26Love Simon is streaming on Amazon Prime. That is a beautiful moment. And I think it's based

29:30on the director's conversation with his mom. It's a beautiful, beautiful moment.

29:34Shouldn't we all be so lucky? Yeah. Okay. So what about if you're trying to learn something?

29:38Yes. Okay. So Paris is Burning is required viewing. This is a documentary shot from the mid to late 80s

29:44documenting New York City's underground ballroom culture. It pays tribute to black and Latinx,

29:50queer and trans folks who paved the way for things like Madonna's voguing and inspired the

29:54sound of Beyonce's Renaissance album. Paris is Burning is streaming on Max. And on that same

29:59platform, The Normal Heart is a star studded movie based on a play about the rise of the AIDS epidemic

30:05in New York City in the early 80s. Listen to this cast, Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons,

30:10Julia Roberts. This is devastating. But as someone who wasn't alive at the time, it reminds me of all the

30:16ways the generations before mine survived and thrived so that I can be me today.

30:20What about award winners? Any of those on your list? Plenty. Yes. I'm glad you asked. All of us

30:25strangers was named the film of the year by the society of LGBTQ entertainment critics two years

30:29ago. And it starts Andrew Scott as a writer who lost his parents decades ago in a car accident.

30:34But upon visiting his childhood home, he's able to fully imagine the conversations that he'd have with

30:39them if they were still alive. Andrew's performance is one of the greatest I've seen on the big screen

30:44ever. But word to the wise, yes, wear waterproof mascara if you watch it on Apple TV or Prime.

30:50I always do. Yes. And thank God for it. Lastly, there it is. We all know this show about the Rose

31:01family, which I'm not allowed to say the name of on TV, but it cleaned up at the Emmy Awards winning

31:06every award it was nominated for in its final season. It's just the best. It's so funny. Yes. It's so

31:09great. Dan Levy, who of course stars in the show, said he deliberately created a world within the

31:14show that doesn't have homophobia in it at all. It's a lovely way to remind audiences that someone's

31:19identity doesn't have to be up for debate, that sometimes when someone tells you who they are,

31:24you can simply believe them. That show is streaming now on Disney+. But how would Moira Rose say that?

31:30In the lee of a picturesque ridge lies a small and unpretentious winery, one that pampers its

31:36fruit like a ton. How are you so ready for him to set you up like that? Just ready. By the way,

31:40I didn't know he was going to ask me to do it, but I'm so glad you did. You just got it ready at all

31:44times. You never know. That's right. Will, Moira, thank you. We appreciate it. And we'll be right back

31:49here on GFA. Happy Pride Month. You know, with our play of the day and you can get your daily dose of

31:54cuteness here by checking out the sled dog puppy cam here. Yes, they've got a camera. Denali National

32:01Park has the cameras rolling on its kennels. Once again, viewers can check out the newest litter of

32:06pups at the park. Their names, Storm, Squall, Gropple, Fog, and Dew. They got those special names in

32:12honor of the National Weather Service, which is celebrating 100 years. Look how cute.

32:17Aw. Well, you can get your daily dose of cuteness looking into Witt Johnson's eyes with that

32:22waterproof mascara. He's got it. Go ahead. Go ahead. Look into it.

32:28Hey, thanks for joining us here on GMA. We'll see you on ABC News Live.
