of the fallen soldiers and president biden. this as the u.s. now finalizes its plans for its multiday, multitarget assault in retaliation for the drone attack that took the lives of those soldiers and left at least 47 other service members wounded. defense secretary lloyd austin taking questions for the first time since his hospitalization, pointing the finger at iran after forensics determined the explosive drone was iranian made and launched by an islamic militia group. >> how much iran knew or didn't know, we don't know. it really doesn't matter because iran sponsors these groups, it funds these groups. they have a lot of capability. they have a lot more. >> reporter: a u.s. official telling abc news that militants and their weapons in iraq, syria and possibly yemen all on the list of likely targets. >> white house has been quite clear that it doesn't want to attack iran directly, and so they will go after the iranian

proxies, the surrogates that are in the militias. the intent will be to disrupt these militias, to take out any weapons that may be used to attack u.s. bases again. >> reporter: while that is the intent, a u.s. official telling me, tension at the white house is high, with some administration officials worrying the strikes could trigger the exact kind of escalation the administration is hoping to avoid. george? >> what a tense situation. okay, martha, thank you very much. now the race to the white house. president biden on the campaign trail as former president trump tries to derail bipartisan deals on the border and taxes. senior correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: good morning, george. these are considered rare bipartisan break throughs. a major tax bill that could help millions of low income americans, an immigration bill aimed attackling the crisis at our southern border. all complicated by the 2024 race for the white house. president biden gearing up for a likely rematch with donald trump, making a direct appeal to

union workers in battleground michigan. >> we now have, in large part because of you and organized labor, the strongest economy the whole damn world. >> reporter: outside the event dozens protesting biden's support for israel. biden barely won michigan in 2020, and polling shows him trailing trump by several points in the state. >> the bad border deal would be worse than no deal at all. >> reporter: trump is making immigration central to his campaign. now pushing congressional republicans to kill an emerging bipartisan deal to address the border. the text of the deal hasn't even been released yet. still many house republicans say they'll vote against it. congressman troy nell said he doesn't want to do anything to help biden's approval rating. >> it's not about security. it's about trying to improve biden's 33% approval rating. >> you don't even need to see it, you're a hard no? >> i'm a hard no. >> reporter: the president on capitol hill earlier that day remaining optimistic. mr. president, some house republicans are calling the border deal a nonstarter. can you get it done?

>> mr. president are you doing enough? >> reporter: and it's not just immigration. after the house passed a bipartisan tax bill, republican senator chuck grassley warned it would make biden look good in an election year. >> passing a tax bill that makes the president look good before the election means he could be re-elected. >> reporter: all of it prompting frustration on both sides of the aisle. >> they're saying the quiet part outloud. we're focused on the next election. >> reporter: how much does politics impact this in an election year? between this -- >> it impacts everything. my goodness. you can't get a resolution recognizing motherhood and apple pie without having politics come into it. >> reporter: this morning we are learning democrats and republicans in the senate have reached a deal on a massive package that would include border security provisions and also provide additional aid to both israel and ukraine. the text of that legislation could be released as early as today, keying up a vote in the senate for next week.

with so many house republicans now coming out against that package before they even see it, it's unclear if it could pass the house, george. >> okay, rachel, thank you very much. michael? now to the deadly plane crash overnight setting multiple homes on fire. victor oquendo is near the scene in clearwater, florida, with the latest. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. we are just outside the bayside water community where this plane came crashing down. we've just learned three people died, the pilot and two people on the ground. residents say when the plane crashed it sounded like a bomb went off. overnight this fiery and deadly plane crash in clearwater, florida. >> anybody else here? >> no. i think they're all out. a plane just crashed into a building here. >> reporter: a small plane crashing into a mobile home park west of tampa, killing several people. firefighters rushing to the scene. the blaze ripping through home,

good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, eva. so jennifer crumbley was visibly nervous to the point of breaking out in hives on the stand. but she is still adamant she was not a negligent mother. she said she didn't miss any clear warning signs. and even now she still believes looking back, she would not do anything differently. this morning jennifer crumbley, the first parent of a school shooter to stand trial herself set for an intense cross-examination. >> that was the hardest thing i had to stomach is that my child killed other people. i wish he would have killed us instead. >> reporter: crumbley taking the stand in her own defense, charged with four counts of unvoluntary manslaughter. prosecutors alleging she missed crucial warning signs that could have prevented the 2021 oxford shooting in which her son killed four of his classmates. >> i have asked myself if i would have done anything differently and i wouldn't have. >> reporter: the crumbley parents bought the weapon used in the shooting for their son. jennifer shifting responsibility

to her husband when asked about securing the weapon. >> i just didn't feel comfortable being in charge of that. it was more his thing. >> reporter: she said in several instances what the prosecution said were red flags were inside family jokes. like her son texting her saying he was seeing demons or her laughing after he got caught searching ammunition in class, saying you have to learn not to get caught. she also claimed meeting with the school counselor the day of the shooting over these disturbing drawings was nonchalant. >> he told us he didn't feel that my son was a risk and actually gave him the option if he wanted to stay at school or go home. my son wanted to stay at school so we all discussed that. >> reporter: the prosecution resting its case thursday with testimony from an investigator presenting what they found inside the shooter's journal. he had written on 21 pages.

>> how many references to school shooting? >> every single one. >> reporter: on one page, the shooter writing, my parents don't listen to me. on the next page the word help in bold black letters. the ominous message, i have zero help for my mental problems and it's causing me to shoot up the school. and the defense attorney wrapped up her questioning of jennifer crumbley at the end of the day yesterday so that means today the table is set for the prosecution and cross-examination and we expect it could be quite fiery. george? >> we'll ask dan abrams about that. boy, those notes are hard to read about. do you think those are one of the reasons she had to testify? >> i think she kind of had to testify. she had to provide perspective here. she had to explain that from her perspective, she didn't see any of those notes. she didn't go through all of his journals. the problem is when you look at the journals and the text messages, all sent to a friend, he's specifically saying, i

talked to my parents. i told my parents about these issues and either mom laughed about it or dad told me to man up, etc. that's going to be the cross-examination. that's going to be the focus. >> prosecutors are going to go in and present the notes. >> they're going to talk about the inconsistencies. so when he said this at the time, when he wrote this text message to his friend, before any of this happened, he was making it up. he was making it up, that he had gone to you, that he had talked to you, that you knew anything about this. of course, they're really going to focus a lot on the day of the incident where the parents are called in to school. >> is there anything she can say? >> look, i think her answer is going to be, we followed the school's guidance. we didn't think this was as serious as it is. i didn't know, is her perspective, about the psychological issues that she was having. >> dan abrams, thank you very much. michael? >> thank you, george. we're going to turn now to preparations under way for super bowl lviii in las vegas. whit johnson is here with more including ticket prices.

i'm so excited for you to try it because it is really deeply impacting. you can really feel something really new and exciting. >> reporter: and i got to walk through the demo other users will be able to experience in select stores. we're in a video. they just blew a cake out right in my face. wow. >> you just saw your first spatial video. >> reporter: i did. i feel like i must look silly, but i'm having a fantastic time. the device is compatible with more than 1 million apps and over 600 spatial apps built specifically for it. but some of the most popular apps, including you tube and spotify weren't available at the moment. the apple vision pro is not the augmented or first virtual reality head set available to consumer, and, experts say, it won't be the last. >> i would expect to see a lot of competition, a lot of response, a lot of copying, a lot of people trying to do what apple is doing but in the long

term will be able to slowly start to see a trend towards much smaller, much more affordable versions of this wearable computer on your face. >> reporter: that $3,500 price tag will rightly get a lot of attention, but this is the first generation of this product. prices tend to go down as technology improves, as in the case of the mac book. and the iphone. the 15 is still as pricey as the 1 but back then you were paying money for a phone with cool extra features. now you got a full computer in your pocket for the same price. my experience with the apple vision pro, i came in with no frame of reference and a healthy dose of skepticism and left wanting to wear it out of the store. it was cool. you got to try it. >> i had a chance to try it. i can't say enough about it. it blows your mind. it is amazing. >> it's something you have to try to understand. >> i can explain it to you. [ laughter ] >> we're like, we got it. we got it. >> you guys have to check it out.

chaotic spring break scenes on miami beach. murder, shootings, stampedes, fights, all of which the city desperately hopes to avoid this year. this morning miami beach is cracking down proactively, a month before the rush. city leaders promising significantly stricter rules to curb the notoriously unruly crowds, increase police presence, with officers working 12-hour shifts, vigorously enforcing open container and noise laws, implementing curfew, suspending sidewalk cafes on famed ocean drive, when necessary, shutting down parking garages and parking lots. >> we need to correct these issues now. we're going to be very proactive. if somebody thinks we're doing too much, that means we're probably doing it right. >> miami beach is currently under a state of emergency. >> reporter: the city forced to declare states of emergency in recent years following fatal shootings that sent hordes of people scrambling, party goers

clashing with police, and a number of brawls breaking out on any given night. >> spring break is what it is but it should not be impeding the functioning of businesses in the area. it should not be impacting the quality of life of our residents. >> reporter: spring break laws in effect across the state. police telling the public, people who violate the laws could face fine, arrest, even jail time. and a criminal record that will follow you beyond spring break. police will set up dui check points. they'll have license plate readers and reduce traffic down to one lane entering miami beach. the way one commissioner put it, they're shutting the door on spring break once and for all. guys? >> that is some tough moves right there. >> it's surprising to be in miami during that season. we've kind of gotten used to every year a high crime count and body count during that. we can't have people lose their lives during spring break. you got to stop it somehow. >> spring break is supposed to be fun and safe. >> right. >> yep. >> coming up next an abc news

debt cleared. lamont announcing he's leveraging a $6.5 million fund from the american rescue plan act of 2021 to cancel $1 billion in medical debt by working with nonprofit organization that buys and eliminates debt at a fraction of the cost. >> i think it's really important that people have a sense they can start building wealth of their own. so we're making it easier for people to do. the best way to start is eliminate the debt you've got. >> reporter: eligible families include those whose medical debt equates to 5% or more of their annual income, or whose hold hold income is 400% above the poverty line. for a family of four that's $156,000 a year. that's welcome news to so many in connecticut. there's no application process. those who want to participate, it's automatic. in cities like chicago and d.c., who have cancelled debt, the amount per household has ranged guys from $25 to six figure amounts.

overall is in solid shape. hiring accelerating. the new jobs report shows 353,000 workers were added to the work force in january. that was way above expectations. on average every month last year 255,000 jobs were added, a historically strong rate. there are some industries hiring at a fast pace including health care, hospitality, construction and local government. it is a different picture than those recent job cuts in industries like media, retail and tech. companies including amazon, microsoft and google. analysts say some of what's going on there is that those firms are slimming down after record hiring during the pandemic. but still, there are signs that americans are feeling less optimistic about their job prospects. the number of people quitting their jobs is now the lowest level in three years, which could indicate that people are worried that they won't be able to find a new or better job if they leave their current one.

nothing comes close to this place in the morning. i'm so glad i can still come here. you see, i was diagnosed with obstructive hcm. and there were some days i was so short of breath. i thought i'd have to settle for never stepping foot on this trail again. i became great at making excuses. but i have people who count on me so i talked to my cardiologist. i said there must be more we can do for my symptoms. he told me about a medication called camzyos. he said camzyos works by targeting what's causing my obstructive hcm. so he prescribed it and i'm really glad he did. camzyos is used to treat adults with symptomatic obstructive hcm. camzyos may improve your symptoms and your ability to be active. camzyos may cause serious side effects, including heart failure that can lead to death. a risk that's increased if you develop a serious infection or irregular heartbeat or when taking certain other medicines. so do not stop, start or change medicines

or the dose without telling your healthcare provider. you must have echocardiograms before and during treatment. seek help if you experience new or worsening symptoms of heart failure. because of this risk, camzyos is only available through a restricted program. before taking camzyos, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including current or planned pregnancy. today with camzyos, i don't lose my breath as often. my symptoms have improved, helping me go from expecting less to experiencing more. my name is mike. and this is my camzyos moment. call your cardiologist today and see if a camzyos moment may be in your future too.

welcome back to gma. we want to go straight to michael. >> all right, george. i am here with apple ceo tim cook. this morning he is celebrating the long awaited release of the apple vision pro. now he's gonna tell us all about it. tim, thank you for joining me this morning. i had an opportunity to try the apple vision pro. >> how was it? >> it's the most amazing thing. it is so hard to describe to someone who hasn't experienced it yet. >> it's magical. >> it's absolutely magical. how do you envision this being used by people in their daily lives? >> oh, i think it will be used in so many different ways because it's a spatial computer.

you know, the iphone introduced us to the mobile computer. the mac is the personal computer. this is the first spatial computer. people are going to interact with it in different ways. some people will connect with it. with facetime and so forth. some people will train on it. surgeons will train on it. it's just the number of applications. it's like a computer. it's just enormous. there's over 1 million apps for it already. >> it is a computer, but it is a headset. you are so immersed in this world that you can create with this. it can have a lot of ground breaking technology. what is that? >> so we've been working on this for years. to get the gestures down, there's a lot of artificial intelligence, machine learning built into the product to get hand gestures, to get room mapping. this stuff requires very deep machine learning.

we couldn't be more proud of it. a company only has a few of these. most companies have none. we've had the mac, the ipod, the ipad, the iphone, the apple watch, now the vision pro. it's one of those moments. >> i have had every one of those. i'm gonna have one of these, too. [ laughter ] you talked about using your hands. it's a headset. you wear it. but you navigate it with your hands. >> yeah. >> how does something that i'm wearing on my face know what i'm doing with my hands? >> there's many cameras in it. we're always looking at the hands. they don't have to be up here so it's not uncomfortable. you can put them in your lap. you can select. with your eye you select the app that you want to open and with your hand, open it. it is magical. it really is. i know that's a word that we use a lot. but it is truly magical.

>> i have done it, so i agree. very intuitive. very natural once you start using it. doesn't take long to figure it out. >> it works the way your mind works. you don't really have to train to use it. you put it on and you already know how it works. >> it make sense, absolutely makes sense. the big question for a lot of people at home would be the price. $3,500. how long before it's more accessible to your average customer? >> it's tomorrow's technology today is the way i think about it. it's packed with, we have 5,000 patents on the product already. so we really leaned into it. i'm hoping some people will just buy it. i have talked to people who will just buy it. but, you know, over time, we'll see what happens. but we think we priced it for the right value today.

>> there's gonna be some critics who will say, does this keep us disconnected? how would you answer that? >> i would say no. you don't have to immerse yourself. it can augment your reality. you and i can be sitting here having a conversation with the headset on and we can see each other's eyes. but we can also see the screens around us. so it am amplifies our connection. that was a key design for us. we wanted people to see each other's eyes, not just glazed over in a headset. >> it really is amazing what you've come up with here. like i said, i had a chance to experience it. the interaction with technology is unlike anything i have ever experienced. >> i totally agree. i think about the first demos on this. and they were many years ago. the rigs were enormous that we were using to try to get a feel of the technology.

it's one of those things, it happens to you and you know in the moment that this is big. this is just huge. and you just have to keep working at it to miniaturize it and get the technology down pat. we really feel proud of today an delivering the product. thousands of people have worked for multiple years to deliver this. >> you can see it when you try the product. congratulations. it is fantastic to be here. excited. everybody is clapping, playing music. the lines outside are crazy. just like trying to go -- trying to meet sam champion, who's got pop news. they're just lined up for it. [ laughter ] >> yeah, michael, strap on your headset. this won't be nearly as exciting as that was. let's see what we can do. count down, pop news begins. let's get started. the final countdown to the 66th annual grammy awards this sunday. get ready because it's shaping up to be an a-list extravaganza. we have a new slate of presenters.

you might want to tune in just for them. we're talking oscar winner meryl streep, who happens to be a 2024 grammy nominee herself. also taking the stage the one and only oprah winfrey. so you get a grammy, and you get a grammy. winners lionel richie will be there, christina aguilera, lenny kravitz. as for the performers, variety is reporting tracy chapman will be joining luke combs for a special duet. you remember "fast cars." chapman's 1988 hit. george, i still sing it in the shower. [ laughter ] >> he did a great remix. >> right right right. you're right. he used it last year as a cover. it shot up the charts. history making this year. miley cyrus, taylor swift and sissa have the potential for record setting win. take a listen to this. miley could take home her first ever grammy. that seems -- >> first ever? >> right. that seems ridiculous, doesn't it? miley cyrus. it's true. for record of the year. this one for "flowers." everyone sings it. she's got a good chance. if taylor takes home her fourth

album of the year win, it would make her the first artist in history to achieve that feat. if sissa wins that same award, she would be first black woman since lauryn hill to take home that prize. believe it or not, lauryn hill's win was 25 years ago. >> wow. >> now my back hurts. just 'cause of age. speaking of the grammys, there's one performer we can't wait to take the stage. let me give you a clue. bill, can you bring me the keyboard, please? [ laughter ] and now here's a word clue just to see if you get it right. give us a song you're the piano man now. you got it. right? it's billy joel. george is like, come on, sam. i just wanted to hold the keyboard. billy joel is back behind the piano gearing up to play "turn the lights back on" for the first time ever. is this on? whoa. [ laughter ] after releasing his single yesterday, take a listen to the man who actually knows how to play the piano.

♪ but i see you now as we're laying in the darkness did i wait too long to turn the lights back on ♪ >> something i learned today. isn't it beautiful? something i learned today. eva's played the piano since she was 4. >> my mother's korean. [ laughter ] >> that single marks joel's first song in over 17 years. that can't be true either. now he's going to bring new music to the stadium tour. you get a chance to see him. his tour kicks off later this month in tampa. finally, i want you to meet the luckiest teachers in america. they happen to be from my home state of kentucky. this group of 30 current, former educators and staff from rh jones middle school in kentucky hit the power ball winning $1 million. take a look.

>> so then i called one of the people in the group and i said, check this for me. check this for me. we just can't believe it. >> a win for teachers. we stick together and great things can happen. >> this story just keeps giving. they've been pooling their money together playing the same set of numbers for four years. do we have a pool? >> we should have a pool with the same set of numbers. >> we should do that. how did they pick the lucky numbers? george, get ready for this. they pulled them out of a hat so it really is luck. after the win they found a creative spot to hide the ticket until they were ready to handle their claim. they put it in a math book. they all decided to car pool to the kentucky lottery office to get their checks. they're almost as cool as the '50s. they split it 30 ways each got $24,000 after taxes. if you're wondering did they show up to work the next day. >> yes, they did. >> every one of them did. i love that story. >> we love having you coming in to do pop news.

>> thank you. >> congratulations on the nomination. >> thank you very much. >> i hear you grabbed the role right away. >> i did. i read it and it was just -- i couldn't imagine -- i can't -- i still am sort of shocked. never did i possibly imagine that i'd get to play an athlete in my 60s. [ laughter ] i just loved the story. i loved her. i was really touched by it. you only get that one time as an actor where you don't -- i mean, i knew kind of what was going to happen, but exactly how it happened and her relationship with her coach bonnie and all of that. i just loved it, so i did grab it, yeah. >> she's an elite long distance swimmer. i imagine there was some training that had to happen once you said yes to this role. >> yes. [ laughter ] which i hadn't really thought of. diana was a marathon swimmer all through her 20s and then she stopped. she tried to do her cuba to

florida swim, which was her big big dream. she stopped. she became a news caster. she worked in sports. she did lots of different things over the 30 years. then turned 60 and said, wait a minute. that thing, i need that back. i'm still an athlete inside and i need a goal. i need to try to do the swim that i failed to do. then everyone said, you're crazy. >> we covered that extensively. >> i'm sure you did. >> are you still swimming? >> i am still swimming because i fell in love with it. i have always needed to do some sort of exercise since i was 20 years old to sort of maintain myself. as a runner, i did yoga, all kinds of stuff. when i trained for this, i had an olympic swimmer who was my coach. so i had a really good coach. she still loves to swim. she's just a very -- she knew how to work with me as a beginner and i just fell in love with it because of how it makes

me feel. helps me sleep, too. >> when you're swimming, do you listen to music, meditate? >> i don't listen to music. i know some people do. same when i used to run. no. there's a great thing that happens where your mind can begin to quiet. i love that part of it. sometimes, too, if i have a dilemma or i have an issue or choice i need to make or a problem, sometimes i just get in the pool and i generally think i can work things out. but it definitely quiets the mind. i love it. >> now we see why you took that character so far. everyone's buzzing about the film. i don't know what it's like for my mind to be quiet. i really don't. [ laughter ] but we have a clip of the film. let's take a look at it. >> for once this is about me! and you don't even think of me. you just want me to tag along with you. >> no, of course i think about you. i know what you're capable of better than you do. >> that is so patronizing.

>> look, i know the world wants me to shut my mouth and sit down and wait to die! but i didn't think you did. >> stop. >> i can't. i won't. i will not accept defeat. >> wow. that is a powerful scene. >> two power house actors together. we tend to think everyone in hollywood knows each other, but you did not know jodi foster? >> no. i met her briefly. no, i didn't. i took the film and then they told me they were going to go to jodi foster for the other part, of bonnie. i thought, well, she'll never do that. [ laughter ] but she came to meet me. she liked the script, so that was a good step. i thought, she likes it? she might do it. she came to meet me. we hit it off. she's an amazing woman. we've become good friends. she is -- you know, she's 61 years old.

i asked her, we were being interviewed together. i said, how long have you been in the business? she said 57 years. >> wow. >> what happens in a meeting like that? is it public? if you didn't hit it off, would you really not work together? >> what happened in this particular instance -- sometimes you work with people and you're good professional colleagues. you don't necessarily become great friends. but she has a lot of ideas. that's why she's jodi foster. she's directed. she's written. she produces. she does everything. she was talking about the logistics. shooting on the water is famously hard, so everything takes three times as long. the logistics of making a movie of this kind, there's a lot of problems that you have to solve in advance. plus there were a lot of script issues that she had. she had such great ideas. so i just kept saying yes, more. we had to have a few more meetings to really sit and talk. she has no illusions about the business.

then when she said yes, i was so fortunate. the relationship between these two women in life, diana and bonnie, is kind of amazing. two queer women. they're now in their 70s. they dated briefly back in the day. then became life long friends so that when diana got to the moment where she said, i have to do this swim, she went to bonnie, who also was a world class athlete. she was a raquetball player. the relationship between these two women that's also an exciting thing to see. because we don't get to see that very often. i mean a real relationship, with conflict. in this case, it's the swim. diana refusing to stop, which drove everybody nuts, because she kept failing, which is what the book was about. i know she wrote a beautiful book about it. so, yeah. it was just a phenomenal challenge. we need those, right? >> sure do. it is a gripping story. congratulations to you both for your nominations.

>> thank you. >> thank you for coming in. nyad is streaming now on netflix. up next our gma ray of sunshine moments away from the surprise. ...katie porter's whiteboard is one way she's: [news anchor] ...often seen grilling top executives of banks, big pharma, even top administration officials. katie porter. never taken corporate pac money - never will. leading the fight to ban congressional stock trading. and the only democrat who opposed wasteful “earmarks” that fund politicians' pet projects.

katie porter. focused on your challenges - from lowering housing costs to fighting climate change. shake up the senate - with democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message.

michael is back. where are our vision pros? [ laughter ] >> they're in the mail, george. [ laughter ] we're going to turn to the case that made headlines, turned a

family upside down. she was convicted of killing a partner she said had been abusing her for years. her sister michelle took in nikki's children, started fighting for her release. juju chang has the story. wow. >> reporter: this was a moment nearly seven years in the making. fully free to embrace her kids. the 35-year-old spent more than five years behind bars, convicted of shooting and killing the father of her children chris grover after reporting years of violent physical and sexual domestic violence. what did it feel like to watch her walk into freedom? >> felt surreal. felt a little out of body. it felt like i had dreamed it and it was like i might wake up from it. we were whole again. >> reporter: nikki's rock through it all, her sister, michelle horton. >> we found out she was coming home in january instead of july. >> reporter: in her memoir, she recalls the day nikki was

arrested and her decision to take custody of her niece and nephew. the book feels almost like diary entries. >> i documented everything throughout the process. for me it was just a way to cope. >> reporter: despite photographic evidence documenting years of abuse, nikki was found guilty of second degree murder and sentenced to 19 years to life in prison. an appeals court later lowering it to 7 1/2 years. but grover's mother maintains his innocence and tells abc news everyone is pro nikki and no one knows about the truth. i love my grand kids and i get to see my grand kids and i am very grateful for that. what would you say to those who say, well, she's a convicted murderer? >> nikki had tremendous evidence. i thought what i can do is tell the narrative so people can feel it from the inside. and if they can feel it, they can understand it and if we can understand it, we can face it and maybe make some changes. >> reporter: for good morning america, juju chang, abc news, new york. >> thanks to juju for that.

ginger? >> record highs in illinois, wisconsin. we'll do this again next week. for now let's get a check closer >> now we're celebrating black history month and the intersection of two famous civil rights leaders. national geographic genius series is portraying the lives martin luther king jr. and malcolm x. kelley carter sat down with the actors playing the two legends. ♪ >> reporter: nat geo's latest installment of genius pairs two trail blazers of the american civil rights movement. dr. martin luther king jr. >> as soon as possible isn't good enough.

>> reporter: and malcolm x. >> pride and dignity within self. >> reporter: including the single time they met in person to support the civil rights act, both telling gma they were weary about taking on these enormous roles. what made you pass initially? what was it about the project? >> the idea of playing dr. king felt so much larger than i could ever imagine myself. >> i was terrified about the idea of portraying malcolm x. it was overwhelming to me. immediately i knew the enormity of the responsibility, the magnitude of the journey. so i didn't say yes immediately either because i had doubts. >> reporter: why do you think it makes sense to tell this story in this way of these two men in 2024? >> there's arguably a lot of misinformation.

there's arguably a lot of dichotomy when these two names are mentioned. and i think there is far more unity than there is dichotomy. >> i have a dream. but what else? do you know what i mean? who was he, do you know what i mean? how did he get there? >> what now became my hour of responsibility was to discover the moments before the pulpit. the personal lives and everything that went into making them so magnetic and so moving and such phenomenal artists. >> reporter: finish this sentence for me. martin is, malcolm is? >> martin is love. i know it sounds cheesey, but he truly is. he's love. >> malcolm is truth. yeah. >> reporter: for abc news, kelley carter, los angeles. >> love and truth, that's right. new episodes of "genius" premiere thursdays on national geographic and next day on disney + and hulu. when we come back our gma ray of sunshine is moments away from a major surprise, and she has no idea. stay with us. we'll be right back. away from
