good morning, america. was it sabotage? breaking new details point to foul play on the missing jumbo jet. abc news learned two crucial ways to communicate were shut down deliberately in the cockpit at separate times. the plane flying for up to four more hours before losing contact. no clues yet from the massive search zone. oh my god. my plane. my plane just crashed. another dramatic plane incident overnight. this u.s. airways flight careening off the runway in philadelphia. the front landing gear collapsing. the passengers panicked. all caught on tape. royal revenge. bombshell allegations in court that princess diana leaked a top secret phone book with royal phone numbers all during

her feud with prince charles during their divorce. a texas bakery worker making 50 grand a year who helped himself to a large piece of the pie embezzling millions to pay for private plane, luxury luggage, a bar of gold and how he got away with cooking the books and why. and good morning, america. robin off today. great to have lara here along with sara haines. let's get right to these stunning new developments on the missing jumbo jet. these details first reported by abc news. someone who knew what they were doing turned off two key tracking devices in the cockpit. one at 1:07 a.m. the other at 1:21 a.m. that's a 14-minute gap cutting off contact with the plane. and what this gap suggests there was no catastrophic failure, it was a deliberate act done by someone taking over the plane.

>> what it also says those extra four hours after that last contact means that the plane could have flown anywhere for thousands of miles. this american ship now leading a search in the indian ocean west of malaysia. >> and abc's david kerley is here today with all this brand-new information. good morning, david. >>reporter: good morning, george. this is a massive expansion of this search area. if you look at the map, four hours and 600 miles an hour you're talking about a 2400-mile area that now could be considered part of the search zone. but we have also learned from u.s. sources they believe some of the communication systems as you mentioned were intentionally turned off at different times meaning this was not a catastrophic failure. abc news has learned that those two separate key moves in the cockpit may be crucial to solving the mystery. just 26 minutes into the flight at 1:07 a.m. the final data transmission was made from the cockpit at some point that system shut down. 14 minutes later at 1:21 the transponder which sends the

location of the 777 also turned off. one source told us it was a systematic shutdown. the assumption, that someone with flying experience didn't want this jet to communicate with the outside world. our sources tell us one feature that apparently cannot be manually turned off is a ping feature which is part of a data health system for the aircraft. if the plane had disintegrated during flight or suffered a kas strosk failure, its expected all three signals, the pings, the data messages and transponder would stop at the same time. in the case of malaysia air flight the ping continues hourly our sources say for four hours after the flight disappeared off radar. that ping may not tell us where the plane actually is but at 600 miles an hour it could be 2400 miles from malaysia, which is why the investigation is expanding into the indian ocean this morning with u.s. vessels moving in that direction. and, george, this is a very big ocean and even deeper than some of the places that we found the wreckage from the air france accident several years ago. >> and we should emphasize right now this idea that it was a

deliberate act potentially sabotage, the leading theory but not the only theory. >> absolutely. this is a possibility that there was a fire. could have been cargo problems, could be that the pilots were lack of oxygen had hypoxia and passed out. this is the leading theory. this is what the americans have found out so far and now we're talking about this entire part of the indian ocean which as i mentioned is very deep. they think that that flight path that they got one ping over here kind of leads them over into this area and into the indian ocean. >> we'll talk to stephen ganyard more about that path in a minute. now we want to get more on the search from lara. >> now we want to get right to that point. let's go to bob woodruff who is on the scene in kuala lumpur with the latest. bob. >> reporter: good morning, lara. we just got out of this news conference a short period ago. asked a lot of questions. they didn't have a lot of answers. all they said they know about the location of this plane as much as they did six days ago. this morning, abc news has

learned the search operation has been expanded further into the south china sea and the indian ocean. the malaysian ministry of transport announced that the two oil slicks were found in the south china sea, one containing tiny traces of jet fuel but no jet was found in the vicinity. >> they'll investigate and found to contain tiny bits of jet fuel. no jet was found in the vicinity. we do not believe that is the case. >> reporter: while the u.s. navy races in to help india is expanding its operations in the seas west of the andaman islands but not everyone is convinced the jet veered so far off course. this morning, news agencies in china reporting chinese researchers detected a so-called sea floor event in the waters between malaysia and vietnam. the plane's original path, a possibility that it plunged into the sea. malaysian officials yesterday said they have not searched the homes of the crew members and this morning at the mosque of the co-pilot friends told us he was a great man with prayers for

all on board. that they will be found. >> no matter if they are malay or whatever, they are human beings. every time you hope, inshallah, even though we don't know where they are. >> reporter: the malaysia officials say they don't want to give a lot of information out. that it's private and needs to be secured around the world. all they're saying about these ideas is that they're generally speculation. george in. >> okay. let's dig into all this with stephen ganyard in washington. stephen, we heard david say leading theory, some kind of deliberate act of sabotage although it's one of many but take us inside the cockpit and explain why this points to a kind of sabotage. how difficult it was for these two communication systems to be turned off. >> yeah, they're very different communication systems, george, not only where they are in the

cockpit, the things they do but would have required two deliberate actions. the first one would have involved reaching up over the pilot's shoulder and pulling a circuit breaker so the circuit breakers are tiny things and writing next to them is very small so would have to know where they were looking, what they were doing and it would have had to be deliberate. 14 minutes later authorities are telling us that they turned off the transponder switch which would have been on a son sole very close the pilot's knees or up by their hands. so these are two different acts, 14 minutes apart. done by somebody who new how to fly that airplane. >> who knew what they were doing. let's take a look at the flight path we've been speculating on so far, that flight out towards the strait of malacca and moving in a westerly direction over this huge expanse. once the flight makes that turn it is pointing towards europe and the middle east. we talked about this yesterday you suggested the idea that it could have landed in a terrorist hot bed like somalia and yemen. but appears that the plane couldn't have gone that far. >> that's right. but the fact that it could have

flown for four or five hours after its last known position is still absolutely remarkable when you look at that radius. that's an amazing search radius. one of the things that i think is interesting that came out this morning is it was apparently flying along known flight paths. it was somebody who was still pilots the airplane like they were on a flier flight plan but they were on a route that would have taken them to europe or to the middle east. east and as they made the turn over the strait of malacca they were situated on a highway in the sky that would have pointed them towards europe. >> zeroing in on foul play or sabotage but at the same time it gets difficult because the search area is so vastly expanded. >> you bet. there's an irony here. we know we can eliminate some of the theories out there, the massive explosions, but now we have this search area that is so large that our search and rescue effort is really almost daunting to even think about. >> okay, stephen ganyard, thanks very much. let's go back to lara. we want to turn now to another plane incident right

here in the u.s. a terrifying scare for passengers on a us airways flight. it happened in philadelphia at the international airport. the plane lurching off the runway, the takeoff aborted and abc's ryan smith is here with all the latest. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, lara. the plane was off the ground a little bit and nose went up and then down again and a passenger on 1702 and what happened next shocked everyone on board. >> oh, my god. my plane. my plane just crashed. >> reporter: turbulent takeoff. >> the plane is on fire. >> reporter: overnight us airways flight 1702 aborting takeoff at philadelphia international airport at the last second heading to ft. lauderdale. skidding off the runway after the plane's nose gear apparently collapsed. >> it's really tough to tell. i see smoke down there. 1702, we'll dispatch emergency vehicles. >> reporter: careening into an empty field. the plane, nose down. smoke billowing from the left side. frightened passengers exiting on emergency slides sprinting to get away. some people seen on the wings

even children hurrying to safety. >> there was panic on the plane. there was no one in charge. >> reporter: two passengers out of 149 received medical attention. but the fear, the shock, still palpable hours later. >> i'm not going to florida. >> reporter: the faa and ntsb are still investigating the departure debacle and passengers waited hours before boarding a new aircraft and landing safely in ft. lauderdale early this morning. making a trip to the sunshine state a little darker than expected. >> i think i'll take a train back home. >> it's still unclear what happened but the faa saying the nose gear collapsed and the airline first tweeting that a tire blew. but a bumpy ride not soon forgotten by everyone on the plane, lara. >> i think i'd be taking a train home too. thank you very much. to josh with the other top stories this morning. good morning, josh. >> good morning. we begin with a bombshell report overnight claiming the safety problems at general motors may have been far worse than originally thought. a watchdog group claims more than 300 deaths could have been caused by the ignition defect that prompted gm to recall 1.6

million compact cars. gm has acknowledged only 12 deaths but the center for auto safety says the faulty ignition switches which can disable the air bags could be the blame for some 303 deaths in crashes involving the chevy cobalt and the saturn ion. gm is challenging those figures today saying "without rigorous analysis it is pure speculation to attempt to draw any meaningful conclusions." now, as we reported this week, the recall is now the subject of a federal, criminal investigation. the other big story this morning, concerns that russia could now be on the verge of invading ukraine. the growing tensions are rattling global stock markets at this hour. the dow plunging more than 230 points just yesterday. at this hour, thousands of russian troops have been deployed to ukraine's border ahead of this weekend's big vote when the people in crimea could decide to break away from ukraine and join russia. abc's alex marquardt is there. alex, good morning to you.

>> reporter: good morning, josh. these troops believed to be russian have already taken over crimea and now ukrainian officials are warning of a full-scale invasion by those russian forces amassing along ukraine's border. almost 9,000 troops along with tanks and artillery raising fears that russia wants to go beyond crimea and invade eastern ukraine. that's where we're seeing rising violence. overnight at least one person killed in clashes with pro-russian protesters. fueling fears of more bloodshed to come. secretary of state john kerry is in london today for a meeting with his russian counterpart. a last-ditch effort to try to get russia to withdraw its troops from crimea and to delay the referendum here in crimea set for sunday. but american officials say there's little hope of that and are warning of very serious steps to try to stop russia's advance. josh. >> alex marquardt, thank you. in ukraine. meantime, a billion-dollar u.s. aid package for ukraine

remains stalled in congress. in other news new video of that massive explosion that leveled two buildings here in upper manhattan wednesday. an eighth person has now been confirmed dead. five remain missing. the blast has raised concern about the safety of ageing gas pipelines. and violence erupted at san francisco city colleges. students clashed with police. you see them here. police fought back with batons and pepper spray. the students were trying to take over the school's administration building in a protest of new tuition fees. at least two of those students were arrested. and this morning, in a world where we love movie trailers almost as much as we love the movies themselves, we remember hal douglas. you may not know the name but you'll certainly know the voice. >> in a world where laughter was king. >> that was hal voicing the trailer for the movie "comedian" just a few years back. it was actually his first on-camera appearance in 40 years.

obviously famous for what he did off camera. he worked on thousands and thousands of movie trailers and documentaries, of course, often starting with that trademark opening "in a world where -- hal douglas, you'll be remembered fondly. he was 89 years old. >> we'll miss that voice. >> we sure will. >> you do a good hal douglas. >> i've been working on it all morning. >> thanks, josh. we're going to go to washington now where congress is taking a hard look on how to protect young athletes from head injuries. the threat of concussions has been growing for boys and girls and yesterday the nfl and nhl were called this to be part of the solution. abc's jim avila has the details from washington. good morning, jim. >> reporter: warnings from parents about little kids playing big kids' games from lacrosse and hockey to soccer and, of course, football. 6 million kids play tackle or flag football. absorbing an average of 650 hits to the head every season according to a recent study.

and on thursday the nfl confessed to congress it still has not developed equipment to protect players from concussions. >> i know the helmet manufacturers are working on it. we're not there yet. >> reporter: another study shows girls' soccer is second on the list for concussion danger and one of the game's most famous players, u.s. player briana scurry, who helped the u.s. win its first -- >> i made one save. the only save made in the penalty kick shootout. >> reporter: -- can no longer play suffering this head injury at age 38. what was the effect of that on your life? >> i still have issues with my balance, loss of memory, concentration, difficulty focusing. sensitivity to light and sound. >> reporter: and that's what she came to congress to talk about. delivering this message for parents and coaches. playing hurt is not good anymore. >> no. we're finding out that playing hurt cannot only cost you that game but can cost you the next few years, if not longer, of

your life quality. >> reporter: neurologists say the leading cause of concussions is improper technique while heading the ball. and kids should not be allowed to use their head until they are certified to do it well. like this. >> through the ball so you can see it coming off faster than it is hitting me. they'll do it the wrong way and it hits them and snaps. most kids don't know how to head the ball properly at a young age. they really need to be taught how to do it well. >> reporter: more advice for soccer moms and dads. some research shows girls are injured by headers more often than boys because of weaker neck muscles so a strengthening plan could help. george? >> okay. thank you, jim. important stuff. >> important to know. now we move to the employee at a famous texas bakery who is whipping up more than just pastries. the worker and his wife accused of cooking the books and stealing millions. and abc's ryan owens has the story. >> reporter: he's the former head honcho of accounting at this well-known texas bakery. accused of taking a huge and

illegal piece of the pie. a federal grand jury indicting sandy jenkins on charges he embezzled over eight years more than $16 million. prosecutors say jenkins supplemented his $50,000 a year salary by stealing bakery funds using that extra dough to live a life of luxury with his wife kay, who is also charged in this indictment. trips on private jets, a $700,000 vacation home, a mercedes, even a multimillion dollar watch and jewelry collection. sandy's sweet deal ended when the fbi came knocking last year seizing an assortment of riches including a louis vuitton luggage set, a vast collection of art and wine, even a bar of gold. his attorney tells us he plans on pleading guilty to all the charges in the indictment. >> he's accepted responsibility for everything that he's done

and he feels terrible. >> reporter: he also claims the fraud was a half baked attempt to please his now estranged wife. >> i think my client was doing a lot to try to make his wife happy. >> reporter: kay jenkins was not implicated until now. her lawyer did not return our request for comment. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, austin, texas. >> i just got to say that's a lot of dough. thank you very much. >> just had to, right? >> ba-dum-dum. >> really glad you did. >> thank you. >> ginger is here now with the weather. >> yes. >> what is it doing for the weekend? >> let's look at the nice part of what they were doing with the snow. they were really shredding the gnar, i believe they say, 27 inches in parts of vermont up in the mountains, that's what you do. and it's been cold behind so everyone just wondering, what is my weekend going to be like? we have a warm-up on the way, folks, 58, washington, d.c. today, pittsburgh will get to 56. cincinnati, 63 but we have warm-ups that lead to a cold front sweeping through and

as well. and and dj-kalkutta here. a big day in the trial of oscar pistorius. major allegations that the police bungled the crime scene tainted even the weapon. also, some bomb shell allegations regarding princess diana. did she, in fact, leak a top secret buckingham palace phone book. it was full of phone numbers to various royal members to the press just before she and charles then divorced. >> stunning revelation. >> it really is. then we have a programming note for you. an exclusive interview monday with the woman who told off the bachelor, juan pablo, in the shocking finale, clair crawley is joining us live. a major booking. >> she kept on telling him off as sthe walked away. that's coming up on monday. right to the latest in the oscar pistorius trial. abc's matt gutman right there at the courthouse in pretoria, south africa. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning,

george. it was mostly blood and police bungling this morning. i was sitting there in court and suddenly jaws dropped, the lead police investigators on the case started walking us through multiple police mishandling of evidence. and he said it started when they began stomping all over that bloody scene. minutes after oscar pistorius shot dead his lover on valentine's day last year, the officer in charge of the scene recounting walking up the stairs to witness one of his officers handling pistorius' gun barehanded. >> the expert was having the firearm in his hand without gloves and then he said sorry and put the magazine back. >> reporter: he then said the cop reinserted the ammunition clip and casually placed it back on the bloody towel. it gets worse. look at that blood smeared box of luxury watches.

the colonel admitting to the disappearance of a watch valued at $5,000 nearly the salary of a police officer's here. >> we body searched everyone. >> reporter: but pistorius' watch has never been found, one of a multitude of allegations of police corruption and bungling. including that door through which pistorius shot his model girlfriend reeva steenkamp, police admitting pieces of it went missing and that colonel van rensburg kept it in a body bag in his office for weeks. in the u.s. this would be ounds for dismissal. >> because oscar pistorius already admitted that he shot reeva steenkamp. it's unlikely that the judge would even consider a case for dismissal which would only be brought once the state closed its case. >> reporter: and today for the first time, we see oscar pistorius as he looked that night. posing in crime scene photos, bare chested, in blood-soaked shorts and socks. but one prosecution point could prove critical. the colonel pointing to this open window noting a break-in at the second floor window and that secure development would be unlikely.

we drove to that development. high walls, electric fences and friendly but firm guards. we just want to take a look inside. we're not armed. we just want to drive around for a little bit. is that okay? now, we may never know what exactly happened inside that gated community but this we know. the defense has been pounding that police witness, essentially putting him on trial and just now suggesting that all of the evidence may be contaminated. lara. >> all right, matt, on and on it goes. i want to get right to abc news chief legal affairs expert, dan abrams. dan, the big headline out of the courtroom today is how badly the police bungled the crime scene, including the weapon, the gun. is this a big break for the defense? >> yeah, sure, this is a big deal are to the defense when you can say that one of the first officers arriving on the scene is starting to manipulate the murder weapon as soon as he gets there and one of his supervisors has to say, in effect, what are you doing? there's a watch missing. this has been a consistent theme throughout this case, which the defense saying you can't trust the evidence.

but this is a different kind of case. because this case is not about who did it -- >> yes. >> -- but why he did it. some of this becomes a little less important than it might be in another type of case. >> and i know a lot of pictures were introduced by the prosecution but you say of the crime scene you're saying that some of them could actually end up helping oscar pistorius. >> some of them back up his account of what happened. remember, one of the key points is he says he was up in the middle of the night taking a fan off the balcony when he hears noises in the bathroom. that's when he runs in. well, there's a picture of that fan in a place that kind of makes sense if you were pulling it off the ball kany, where would it be? they found, for example, the bathroom key in the lock as he had suggested it was. just little things that he said in his application for bail that are now being supported by the pictures that have been introduced. so certainly cuts both ways. >> cuts both ways. we'll keep watching. thanks so much. we'll turn now to george. we turn to a rare inside

by the people close to him and she was looking for an ally to take him on to show the kind of forces ranged against her. he said the contact numbers helped him write these headline-grabbing stories on the royals for "news of the world." goodman is one of seven former journalists for the paper now on trial accused of hacking into their victims' phones to get scoops. they deny the allegations. for "good morning america," lama hasan, abc news, london. coming up, is your dream wedding dress a rip-off? what brides-to-be need to know about being fooled into buying high-priced fakes instead of the real deal. >> we got you covered. also let's head to social square, shall we, where they tell me a picture is worth at least 1,000 words. go nowhere. ♪ cause i'm happy ♪ cause i'm happy the deal he and mom made with me when i was ten. he said, "you get the grades to go to college --

in an x-rated way. >> it infuriated me and sent me into a pan in. i was angry that people would think it was me. >> reporter: some of the photos had been stolen and posted on a porn site next to very graphic images of someone else's body. but that's not all that was on the site. esplin's name, city she lived in and link to her facebook page was there and she immediately started getting bombarded with messages from strange men. >> you're pretty. those pictures were really interesting. i'd like to get to know you more and some got considerably more graphic. >> reporter: then the second shock. she says she found she was the target of a attempted cyberextortion and the site would only take the images down if she agreed to pay $400. >> really. like i would pay somebody $400? i mean who knows what they would have done with my credit card information? i'm one of many women that are extorted on this site every day.

>> reporter: posting photos online is easier and more popular than ever with millions of us sharing sell if is and other personal pics on sites like instagram, snapchat and facebook. experts say what happened to her could happen to anyone. and events like this are more common than ever. >> if you find your photos have been misused, you can report it but basically you're on your own because there's not really a place for law enforcement to step in. >> experts say prevention is the key. limit what you post and who can see it using privacy settings and, you know, esplin did toil a complaint with the fbi but that website is registered overseas so there's very little they can do at this point. >> thanks. more from dan abrams and you look at is. there's got to be a law against it but this is not necessarily that easy. >> actually can be very hard. this case is a little easier because they're literally just taking a photo of her, so she has the copyright to it, she owns it.

taking it and putting it in a false light with somebody else and giving away private details, et cetera so this is easier than some of the cases. the harder cases and this was on a revenge porn site. the harder cases are the ones where someone puts it on a revenge porn site and you want to try to get it down and you want to try to say, wait, this has to be illegal. >> can i ask a question? what's a revenge porn site versus a regular porn site. >> the sites devoted to getting back at people. tends to be exes, the victims tend to be 80% women. >> so what do you do if you're in that -- you find yourself on one of these? >> first of all states across the country are now passing laws. a couple of states have them, california, new jersey i think now trying to pass laws across the country that outlaw them but sometimes hard to create laws that pass constitutional muster so you have to make sure the laws are really goinged to conduct that's intended to harm someone where someone had an expectation of privacy and the easier cases to get someone to take it down are the ones maybe

where you've taken the photo yourself, right. because then you can say i own that photo. the harder ones are someone else has and that picture of you, they technically own that photo, they say it's my right to use it and that's why you need these new laws. >> this is something that just seems completely illegal. >> also -- >> cometely illegal. >> maddening. absolutely maddening. >> wow, great advice. thank you, mara. we switch it up here and talk about weddings. a little happy news. although price tags for wedding gowns as sara and ginger are finding out tend to run into thousands of dollars. so who wouldn't want to search for a great deal? but buyer beware. dozens of websites are selling knockoffs of major diners and now the leading industry trade group is trying to shut down those sales. abc's cecilia vega has the details. ♪ >> reporter: perfect day, the

perfect dress or not. every year more than $600,000 fake wedding dresses are bought online brides thinking they're getting the real deal for their big day when what they really get is a big letdown. it happened to ista ray. in an investigation three years ago she said she found the $1300 dress of her dreams and bought what she thought was an identical replica online for $320. big mistake. >> can't believe this is what came. i mean, it was beaded and black, you know, pearls and it just ma no sense. it looked like a high school project. >> reporter: but now the trade industry group representing american bridal and prom dressmakers and retailers is fighting back by suing those websites that allegedly sell the fakes and they had a recent victory. a judge ordering more than 1,000 knockoff sites to knock it off. freezing their online payment accounts and ordering their

sites closed. >> the end game here is to get federal recognition of the damages it's doing to our economy. >> reporter: it can be tough to spot counterfeit dresses on some of those sites. just look at this. the exact same dress that sells for big bucks in the store or on a legitimate site is online here for $130. order this one and you'll most likely get a cheap i willtation. they're on the losing end of this cyberbattle. >> creative minds that created this dress and for somebody out there to be copying it and making money off it is just such a shame. >> reporter: when it comes to the perfect dress, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. for "good morning america," cecilia vega, abc news, los angeles. >> thank you, cecilia. so much to say about that piece but we are running out of time so we'll move on to a very young entrepreneur about to swim

there is boo boo goo. there's another paint-on bandage and which one do you like best? >> great saleslady. >> reporter: the stroke of genius hit this mini mogul when she was just 4 years old. >> i was on a walk with my dad one day and i looked down at my knee. i had a band-aid on it because i a scrape and i said, daddy, what if i could just skin that i could paint on. thanks, mom. >> reporter: her dad is an inventor himself and says he knows how to spot a best-seller when he sees one. >> the moment i heard it i thought, wow, that's a great idea. i feel proud just because i think it's an early age for somebody to be passionate about a career and be pursuing it. >> reporter: but the now 7-year-old kiowa says her close-up on the big screen is about more than just a big payday. >> i want to tell kids that you can be something even though you're small. >> what a great kid who makes us

get him to do it when he's supposed to, either eat or go to bed. >> reporter: he was born with a heart defect and spent months in the hospital with two open heart surgeries. they say it's hard to forget that trauma when it's time to dismain their toddler. >> hi, patrick. >> reporter: after getting to know patrick jo works her magic. her first piece of tough love, give him choices but stick to them. >> you need to tell me, sausage, pasta, which one. if he pushes it away, push it aside and give him nothing. you'll wait until that next meal time because then he'll learn. >> reporter: next, bedtime. with at that time pick still sleeping in his parents' bed, no alone time. jo's fix, the sleep separation technique. >> you just sit adjacent to the bed. if he calls you, okay, you won't respond. if he gets out of his bed, then you just place him back in but you don't talk because what you're teaching him is night time. you do it correctly, that will

take you no longer than five days. >> reporter: lastly, discipline. jo recommends creating and closely keeping a daily routine to help patrick to learn stability. >> so recognize that his heart condition has not hindered him to understand his brain to understand to do things. >> the biggest issue for patrick, by letting him rule the roost, they were not doing him any favors. >> by treating him that way they were not allowing him to fly. >> reporter: for "good morning america," juju chang, abc news, new york. >> thanks to juju for that. we all know bryan cranston from his series star turn on "breaking bad." now he's taking on broadway making his debut in "all the way" as president lyndon johnson, the tortured texan using his power to advance the cause of civil rights. take a look. >> as a southerner i've had to bite my tongue on this issue my entire life until my mouth was full of blood.

well, not anymore. what the hell is important being president if you can't do what you know is right? this ain't about the constitution. this is about those who got more, wanting to hang on to what they got. at the expense of those who got nothing and feel good about it. >> and bryan cranston joins us now. love that scene. you get a real sense of what motivates lyndon johnson there but talk about him as a tortured soul and such a larger than life creature, a king lear. >> i love -- bill moyer says he thinks lyndon johnson is probably 11 of the most interesting people he ever knew. >> he knew him up close. >> he knew him up close and was so mercurial. you nevfver knew what johnson would walk in the door, he could be funny, embracing, damning and threatening and he did whatever he thought was appropriate to

get what he needed. but he also knew that this was a horse trade. that politics back then was something he knew he had to give up something. >> what you see in 24 play is johnson at work. the politician on the phone behind the scenes. >> yeah. >> using all that power and bill moyers with a close aide of lyndon johnson as well and others like joe califona said, i saw at moments it was like you were seeing hi or hearing him, i don't know whether johnson has taken over cranston or cranston has taken over johnson. >> what a big compliment especially for those who knew him so well. there's a plethora of source material to read up on johnson, plus, all the telephone conversations that were recorded. >> such a resource. >> unbelievable. i was able then to not only read about the information but listen to his tenor when he was so depressed and wanting to quit or when he rose to the occasion and

was so excited about getting something accomplished. it was very exciting. >> i cannot wait to see it. before we go we're getting a lot of viewer questions coming in including one in our social square from a very special viewer. i want you to take a look. >> hey, bryan cranston, i have a two-part question. first of all, is it weird being so attractive? also, is it hard being so attractive? >> you know, surprisingly it's not that difficult. i got acquainted to it rather quickly, i think, just like you. >> oh, thank you. to cover it up a lot to play lbj, though. >> actually unfortunately no. i have features like lbj's that are unfortunate, yeah, i have kind of beady eyes and some folds and thin lip, all the features that any man would want, you know. no, and then i put a little
