we begin with that scary threat, russian smugglers trying to sell nuclear material to isis. a dramatic takedown overseas. abc's brian ross starts us off. this is the national security danger that keeps officials up at night. >> reporter: absolutely right, george. this morning authorities in the eastern european country of moldova say they've broken up a criminal ring with ties to russia prepared to sell radioactive material to isis, supposedly for a dirty bomb to target america. moldovan police released this video this morning showing a series of raids and arrests earlier this year and late last year. the targets were a small group of men that authorities say were connected to russian intelligence agencies and were offering radioactive materials including uranium 235 and cesium which experts say in much larger amounts could be used to make a dirty bomb. there was no actual isis involvement but undercover moldovan agents posed as members and their sting operation showed

that the men offering the material would have had no hesitation to sell to isis if the price had been right. a senior u.s. counterterror officer told abc news this week there's been no indication whatsoever that isis has made any attempts or has much interest in using radioactive material to build a dirty bomb, that the isis group focuses more on much simpler more easily obtainable weapons including the trove of chemical agents this he may have taken from the arsenal of the syrian army. >> so concerned about any terror group getting them. if they do there's no deterring them. >> in the last year russia stopped cooperating with the u.s. and creating upgrades to its nuclear thresholds. >> thanks very much. george, the race now for president. "your voice, your vote," and gop hopeful ben carson making waves with his comments about last week's college shooting in oregon. and guns in the classroom. abc's cecilia vega is in cedar rapids, iowa, tracking the campaign. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you.

ben carson says he knows exactly what he would have done had he come face-to-face with that gunman and this morning he is on the hot seat. this morning, rising gop star dr. ben carson is under fire after making these controversial comments about gun control. >> i would not just stand there and let them shoot me. i would say, hey, guys, everybody attack him. he may shoot me but he can't get us all. >> take action. >> carson on "the view" tuesday suggesting some kindergarten teachers should be armed. >> you obviously are not just going to have a weapon sitting on the kindergarten teacher's desk. it would be secured in a place where kids could not get to it. >> overnight the retired neurosurgeon not backing down talking about last week's deadly campus shooting in oregon. >> these incidents continue to occur. i doubt that this will be the last one. i want to plant the seed in people's minds so that if this happens again, you know, they don't all get killed. >> reporter: carson also bashing

president obama's plan to visit with the victims of that shooting saying if he were elected he would not go. >> i mean, i would probably have so many things on my agenda that i'd go to the next one. >> reporter: yeah, carson accusing president obama and hillary clinton of politicizing these mass shootings. this is not the first controversial comment this candidate made and he didn't think a muslim should be president. >> that's right but he is holding up high in the polls. cecilia, thanks very much. to the democrats now, jon karl joins us from washington. this joe biden buzz is building especially this new poll out just moments ago. >> reporter: that's right, george, the headline in these new polls is that joe biden does much better against republicans than hillary clinton. just take a look at the matchup against the current republican front-runner. these polls are from three states, ohio, pennsylvania and florida. in each state hillary clinton runs neck and neck with donald trump, but joe biden, he trounces trump in each of those states doing much better than clinton and, george, this holds

up across the board against every republican candidate biden does significantly better than hillary clinton and it's easy to see why, he is seen as more honest and trust worthy by voters and voters believe he understands their problems better than hillary clinton. >> although in the polls she is leading him in the head-to-head matchups. >> reporter: among democrat, yes. >> no one knows exactly what joe biden is thinking but this group pushing for him to get in is taking action. >> draft biden and they have made a television ad that they intend to run right before that democratic debate on tuesday. they want to make sure that just because biden is not in the first democratic debate, that voters don't forget about him. that they know he is still making preparations for a possible run so this is a 90-second ad, quite an emotional ad, george, i've seen it. it uses a speech that biden gave just two weeks before his son beau passed away talking about the tragedies that have hit his family. >> as everyone waits for a biden decision. thanks very much. to the historic flooding in south carolina. people are returning home

assessing the damage but many are not in the clear yet and with rivers still rising, abc's rob marciano is in summerville, south carolina, along the ashley river. good morning, rob. >> good morning, robin. so much of the rain that fell trying to get to the ocean. you see this river that flows to the charleston and the force. one of 143 bridges that are shut down. what does that do? you're looking at emergency crews and first responders to get to where they're needed most, putting one more level of anxiety on this struggling state. this morning, the historic rainfall may have stopped in south carolina, but the state's recovery is far from over. >> it was up over the sandbags we put on the door and just kept rising. >> reporter: residents now focusing on the cleanup but with rising waters still posing imminent threats they are not yet in the clear. >> we are now looking at downstream, waters and other areas that are going to be

affected. >> reporter: right now at least 40,000 homes are still without drinking water. the national guard handing out cases of water bottles to long lines of cars. >> i have three children at home. we don't have anything to even flush toilets or take showers. >> reporter: helicopter footage showing the so far billions of dollars worth of damage from above. more than 400 roads and bridges closed. at least 11 dams failed. the national guard dropping sandbags weighing thousands of pounds and transporting construction equipment from chinook helicopters to keep this columbia canal stable. one which nearby residents depend on for water. >> everything is gone. history is gone. >> reporter: this local business destroyed after this dam broke in lexington. >> when we actually found out what was going on there was no building left. >> reporter: over 2,000 national guardsman stand out to keep

people safe. renting a u-haul also. george. >> severe storms also now in the southwest and ginger, look at that hail behind you. >> yeah, looks almost like snow but it is accumulating hail. the people had put the towels and blankets over their car to protect them and this was in horizon city, texas, so west texas got it. also the flash flooding in arizona, these pictures just west of phoenix, so the same region going to have severe storms and potential for flash flooding further east, i know tucson had a bunch of hail yesterday and now into new mexico and far west texas. we will be watching that for damaging wind, potential dust that kicks up too. >> thank you. now to that cargo ship that went down in hurricane joaquin. the coast guard finding more debris but still no survivors. a team of ntsb investigators now on the scene and abc's linzie janis is in florida with the latest. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, robin. families of the crew have been gathering here at the seafarers

union daily and the ntsb bringing a team dedicated to helping them through this investigation that's now under way alongside that search at sea. overnight the search for survivors of the "el faro" growing increasingly desperate. the coast guard discovering more debris including this container door but so far no new signs of the rest of the ship's 33 crew members since a body was discovered floating inside a survival suit three days ago. the ntsb now on the scene vowing to find out what happened. >> we hit the ground running. we leave no stone unturned. >> reporter: priority number one, finding the ship's voyage data recorder or its black box. it will begin pinging. and it has a battery life of 30 days. so far, no ping. and this morning, the big question for investigators, did mechanical problems slow down the "el faro" leaving it in joaquin's path?

or did the hurricane itself damage the vessel causing it to lose power? >> the captain did not explain in his communication why he had lost propulsion. >> reporter: overnight, the ntsb also saying the ship's owners may have been considering taking the "el faro" out of service. now, the company has previously called it 100% seaworthy saying it was being readied for redeployment to alaska. george. >> okay, thanks. a health alert. with flu season here more than 76 million doses of the vaccine have gone out but patients at one clinic alarmed after they discovered the nurse giving out the vaccines was reusing the same syringe between patients. dr. richard besser is here and, rich, this has to be risky. >> it is risky. when you're giving an injection infection control is your number one concern and let me show you what she did. so when you think about a syringe there's two parts, the plastic part and needle. she took -- used a new needle for every patient but used the same plastic syringe and when

you do that, it increases the chance that blood from one patient can come in contact with another patient. >> so what should patients watch out for now as we are heading into flu season? >> here the risk was of getting a viral infection, hepatitis or hiv, there can be testing of these people and we know from previous times it happened the risk is very low. three things to watch for, first thing is get a flu shot. i know people are going to hear this and they'll think that the risks outweigh the benefits. it cuts down on your risk of flu. the second is pay attention. if you want to make sure that they're drawing it up in front of you and using alcohol on the vial and your arm and, third, if you see anything out of the ordinary, ask questions. >> i'm sure there will be a lot of questions coming in and you'll take them on twitter? >> i will. >> amy with the other top stories starting with a call for more troops in afghanistan, amy. >> that's right, george. the top u.s. commander in afghanistan wants to keep a larger military presence on the ground. the u.s. had initially planned to leave no more than 1,000 troops in afghanistan beyond next year, but general john campbell tells congress conditions have changed and more

troops are now needed. the general also taking responsibility for the air strike on an afghan hospital calling it a mistake. he is ordering troops to be retrained on when they can use firepower. doctors without borders is demanding an independent investigation. well, nearly 6,000 federal prisoners are about to walk free. the largest number ever to be released by the justice department at one time. most of the inmates are nonviolent drug offenders. the release is part of a new effort to reduce drug sentences and prison overcrowding. many americans will be saving big money in winter. the energy department is predicting the cost of home heating oil will drop 25% compared to last year and propane will be 18% cheaper. saving homeowners hundreds of dollars. natural gas and electric bills will also drop, but not by as much. and volkswagen planning to start that massive recall of diesel cars in january to fix software that falsely reported emission levels.

the company has been given a deadline of today to explain how it plans to make that fix. meanwhile, the u.s. senate is now investigating the company's use of tax credits. well, it was a wild scene in australia. a suspect fleeing police, he had nowhere to go so he drives on a beach and then still has nowhere to go decides to go ahead and take that right on into the ocean. shockingly, he didn't get away. in fact, the getaway turned into a rescue effort as the suv was sinking he eventually got on the roof, was rescued by police and promptly arrested. and finally a new tourist attraction that has gone from thrilling to chilling. take a look at this new glass walkway. it is suspended 3500 feet high on the side of a mountain in china. it opened two weeks ago and it had been very popular until this happened. one of the glass panels started cracking when someone dropped their coffee mug on it.

reports of screaming and a mass dash to get to the other side, the walkway started to shake. there was a large bang and the glass was shattered. pretty incredible. but, hey, you know what officials say, no one was in any danger. >> wait a minute. a coffee cup. >> a coffee mug shattered the glass. now, it is closed for repair. >> not too comforting. >> but i don't know who is going to get back up on that hinge. >> no one was in danger. >> no. >> i'm not trying it. >> no. thank you, amy. what that michigan woman who won the powerball did when she found out she hit the $310 million jackpot other than scream for joy, of course, in just 30 seconds. of course, in just 30 seconds.

welcome back to "gma." you're looking live at the rushing water of the ashley river in south carolina. one of so many swollen in that state. at least 11 dams have been breached. tens of thousands still without power or drinking water. >> it could be weeks before that water goes down. good morning, america, on this wednesday morning. we are following that story and here are some other headlines, as well. a major strike looming at chrysler, workers threatening to walk off the job at midnight after the union rejected the latest contract offer. a strike could cost the company $300 million in revenue per day. and the astros are on to the next round of the playoffs. they beat the yankees last night in the american league wild card game. the cubs and pirates play tonight's national league wild card game and there's a gentleman here, took his daughter to the yankees game last night.

it was rough for him. accusing me of wearing astros colors. i had no idea, sir. i had no idea i was doing that. also this morning, a new proposal to pack more people on a plane and, michael, i can't imagine that would work for you. >> it's not going to work for me, george. i'm trying to figure out how they would do it. i barely fit as they are. waving and then i'm like where is the flight attendant with the peanuts and pretzels and i'm looking -- well, at least i can eat good even though i'm squeezed in. robin, back to you. that's not how you're supposed to deliver these. >> not -- hang in there. >> no. >> this is -- >> pardon? >> i missed that. what? should we just move on? >> okay. we begin with the latest on the retrial of that california mother of three accused of killing her husband. julie harper's fate could be in the hands of the jury as early as today. abc's linsey davis is here with that story.

good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, robin. last year a jury found julie harper not guilty of first degree murder. this morning a new jury will begin deliberating on whether she's guilty of second degree murder. for killing the father of their three children. who will the jury believe when they begin deliberations in the case of julie harper, the 42-year-old san diego stay-at-home mom charged with second degree murder for the death of her husband, jason. >> jason harper wanted to live. she chose to pull the trigger. >> julie harper was a victim of domestic violence. he became enraged. >> reporter: two very different versions of that morning in 2012 when harper shot her husband in their carlsbad bedroom while her children watched cartoons downstairs. she admits to killing the popular high school math teacher and volleyball coach but claims it was self-defense. >> julie harper shot jason out of anger and scorn. not out of justifiable

self-defense. >> reporter: prosecutors calling into question her claims of verbal and physical abuse. and alleged sexual assault at the hands of her husband. >> she lied to you when she said that a beloved high school math teacher was a secret rapist for years. >> reporter: harper also claims the gun went off by accident. >> i never intended to shoot him. i only intended to scare him and hopefully stop him. >> reporter: but the prosecution allowed jurors monday to test- fire a similar handgun to the one she used but police never recovered. a firearms expert testifying it's no hair trigger. ten pounds of pressure is needed to fire. >> some woman who has no prior history of violence who is living there and the kids are playing and stuff like that decided to grab a gun and shoot somebody. there must be more to it than that. >> the defense insisting it's not plausible harper shot her husband unprovoked. >> the history of julie harper does not lead one to believe

that all of a sudden she turned into an assassin. >> reporter: later this morning prosecutors will present their rebuttal argument and the case will go to the jury of seven women and five men. if found guilty julie harper faces 40 years to life in prison. robin. >> all right, linsey, thank you. abc's dan abrams is here with more on this. tell us what's different this time in this trial. >> prosecutors can streamline their case more meaning first degree murder is off the table because the jury acquitted her of that. as a result they don't have to focus on issues like premeditation. and one of the key things that we saw in court was that each and every one of these jurors was able to actually hold one of the guns that was used, not the actual gun, but another gun to show how hard it would have been to actually pull the trigger by accident. remember, her defense is, you know, i was holding the gun and the gun goes off by accident. what these jurors are doing by holding the gun and actually pulling it to show you how hard it is really important for the prosecution's case because it

belies the notion of accidental shooting. >> is it unusual that was allowed? >> it's very unusual. it's very unusual. not unheard of but to literally sit there and have each and every one -- i've seen in other cases where they've asked and the judges have said no. >> what about her testimony? >> it's the case, right. when you're talking about self-defense, in this particular case, the evidence is her testimony. so, if they don't believe her, she's done. if they do believe her, prosecutors have a tough case. it's critical. >> the children's testimony has been heartbreaking. >> so heartbreaking. they were in the house at the time. >> they didn't witness it, though. >> they heard it and so they become critical witnesses but more importantly, the girl is talking about how upset she is at her mother, why, because you killed daddy. can you imagine? >> huh-uh, i can't. we'll see what happens this time. >> yeah. >> we'll find out maybe today. dan, thanks. we turn to the scandal swirling around those fantasy sports sites. new york's attorney general investigating fanduel and draftkings to find out if some of their employees won large

integrity of the games we offer. >> we value openness and transparency and it's the first time we've had anyone call in to question in such a public fashion whether our games have integrity or not and that's everything to us. >> reporter: deciding to temporarily block employees from participating in all online fantasy sports for money. critics view these fantasy leagues as excuses to bet on sports without any regulations. >> how is it any different from sports betting? i don't see it. why, because you call it fantasy? >> reporter: big bucks on the line. both sites valued at over a billion dollars. they have until next thursday to respond to the attorney general's complaints. george. >> okay, reena, thanks very much. coming up here, "gma on the money." secret ways to save big on your next trip to the dentist. t.j. has that. >> yeah, secret way, george. how about just asking your dentist about his monday morning discount. you got that coming up right here on "gma."

a real judge in a courtroom and this happens. >> the second for me was a third career. i started out my career as a prosecutor in family court and i think we've discussed before. >> right. >> and then my dream was to be a judge in the family court and i realized that dream with a lot of help and i was in that courtroom for 25 years and it's a difficult court to sit in. there is very rarely happiness. occasionally on an adoption day if you're handling adogs when you're making a family, that's wonderful and that gives you a high but most of the time everybody is unhappy when they come to family court. >> true. >> so when i was given this opportunity 20 years ago to come and play, i said, you know, nothing is successful really on tv, especially somebody who is then 52 years old. >> that's how old you were at the time. >> at the time. nobody knew who i was so i said, please, let me last two years, let me last maybe three years.

and i remember doing an interview with morley safer when he revisited the first "60 minutes" piece about ten years later or nine years later and he said, how long do you want to do it? i said, gee, if i could get a ten-year run, that would be so fabulous. >> but you were able to reinvent yourself but staying true to who you are and that's not always easy to do. >> i think it was probably erma bombeck who said you're not supposed to leave what brought to you the table, and people make a mistake if they have a wonderful singing voice, they want to be dancers. or if they're 5'2" they want to be basketball players. they don't stay with their strength. i know what my limitations are. >> what are your limitations? i don't see any. >> well -- oh, i have a lot of limitations. for instances, i couldn't do

what you do convincingly because you're a good interviewer. you actually look as if you're not only interested in the question you've asked but the response from -- >> listening to a person. >> -- from your guest. i'm not so interested. >> let's play another clip because this one has gone viral recently and it was from a few years ago. this gives you an indication. go ahead. >> i had to replace all of them. i had gift cards in there. my earpiece and a calculator. >> there was no earpiece in her mouth. >> dumb and dumber. judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $500. that's what i think it's worth, madam. good-bye. >> have you always been such a straight shooter and you just tell it like it is always? >> it's easy. if you live by the rule, if you tell the truth, you don't have to have a good memory. then it's -- life becomes that much more easy and negotiable if you are telling one story to one person, another to another

person, eventually you're going to get both feet in your mouth and you're going to be embarrassed. >> amen, but this is what i love about you, many things, you tell us to take responsibility for ourselves and to fess up when we mess up and we are going to mess up sometimes. >> well, i think that if people took responsibility -- jerry and i were driving over from the other side of town for the interview this morning and jerry said to me, the streets in new york are filthy. it's just another level of taking responsibility. it's irresponsible to take a magnificent city like this and trash it. i don't mind calling you out. i don't think there's any excuse for that. i don't think there's any excuse for bad behavior. i don't think there's any excuse for abusing a child. i don't think there's any excuse for stealing somebody's property. there just is no excuse. there may be reasons, but a reason is not an excuse, and i think that this city and this

country have flipped those two words. there may be a reason that somebody acts irresponsibly, whether it's nurturing, nature, whatever it is, but it's never an excuse because human beings have a choice. either you pick up that piece of paper and throw it away in a trash can, or you toss it on the floor and you dirty somebody else's house. that's responsible. >> that's a choice. judge judy has spoken. the gavel has gone down. season -- thank you so much, and thanks for having jerry here too. season 20 of "judge judy" is on now. check your local listings. let's get to michael. >> thanks, babe. all right, thank you, robin. it is open mike time. this morning, an artist who is creating quite a stir, pun intended, with her painting making it completely with coffee all the way from cypress, we're happy to welcome the amazing maria aristidou. hello, maria.

how are you? >> i was pouring this coffee just for you. >> thank you. do i drink it or paint with it? >> both. you can actually do both. >> i can drink a little bit and paint. >> yeah, you can just dip this in. >> uh-huh. >> and go like that. >> okay. i'm looking at this and i'm going this is amazing. how did you figure out you can paint with coffee? >> it was all by accident really. i was working on another commission and by the time i got finished, i accidentally spilled my coffee all over it. rather than being all panicky about it -- >> when you first spilled the coffee, did you go, oh, my goodness or did you go, hmm, let me make something? >> normally i go, oh, my goodness but i was just, ooh, this might be interesting. >> very, very, very creative actually to think like that. >> thank you in and we have a time-lapse video with you creating albert einstein. >> yes, yes, we do.

>> which is -- spill the beans for us. how do you do this? how does it work? it's einstein. i'm looking at that and it's just hard enough to paint with regular paint. how do you get the different colors and the darkness, the lightness, is that a different type of coffee, what is it? >> i use different kind of coffees really but -- well, i work with layers, so let's -- >> show me something. >> for example, so this is an unfinished work so it has different levels to it, so -- >> dip it in my coffee. go ahead. >> i'm going to use your coffee. >> use my coffee. ♪ use me until you use me up yeah. >> wow. >> so you just go around the flowers, coffee, please. thank you. okay. so you just go around and around. this is what our first layer will look like. you have to let this dry first then go and work on it again and again. >> so like the albert einstein, how long did it take to create that? >> oh, einstein took about eight hours. >> eight hours.

>> in total, so i took a little break here and there but it was for the whole thing. >> how much coffee do you actually drink a day? >> four, five. >> four or five cups? oh, you're good. you're perfect for "gma." that's about the same thing we do. >> yeah. >> and i understand that you did a portrait of me out of coffee. >> oh. >> and i haven't seen it yet. it's right there under this -- the great reveal tarp. right there. >> great reveal. i'll do the honors. >> drum roll, please. [ drum roll ] >> whoo. >> whoa! [ cheers and applause ] maria, i got to say, you have outdone yourself. >> i hope you like it. thank you so much. >> she made me look better than i really look. there we go. >> whoo! i love it. i love it. you are so talented. >> thank you so much. >> and it goes to show, creativity, people, creativity is very important. you can do whatever you want to

do if you can be creative. okay. let's go outside to ginger to get the weather. >> oh, michael, you look good both ways. we love you. we love that. that was very creative. it is time now for "ask zee" brought to you by belfor and our question this morning comes from colton marxsen from nebraska who turns 4 tomorrow. >> ginger zee, what kind of clouds are these? >> well, colton, he wanted to know what type of cloud that is. well, it looks like to me a contrail so it's condensation behind a plane or a rocket and looks like it got blown by some of the winds up there. cirrus clouds also up this there. there's a couple different things going on. we thank you for your question, and, parents, send us your kid's weather video questions using the #askzeegma and do it on good morning. i'm meteorologist mike nicco. we're going to have high clouds and sunshine this afternoon after a gray start this morning. temperatures mainly upper 70s to low 80s. accuweather forecast, a tweak this weekend. not quite

ññ ♪ ♪ it took the rockettes years to master the kick line. but only a few moves to master paying bills on chase.com technology designed for you. so you can easily master the way you bank.

so former nba star jalen rose joining us now in social square. he's just written a great book called "got to give the people

what they want" chronicling his remarkable life story growing up in inner city detroit. 13 years in the nba and we cannot forget being part of the fab five at the university of michigan. now his life as an analyst at espn and a commentator and a friend of "gma." >> yes, indeed, thank you for having me on. >> thank you for being here. i love the book. it's really -- it's like you. you're not afraid to trash talk. you're not afraid to be real about your trials and tribulations. i want to talk to you because we graduated college same year. university of michigan, fab five. i love what you write about the bond and the domination from day one of the fab five. >> the brotherhood. myself, jimmy king, ray jackson, juwan howard, chris webber. the fab five, and as you mentioned, it was a brotherhood since the beginning, but what people don't talk about is the actual sacrifice, at that time normally people were choosing schools where they can go and be the man and then try to go to the nba draft. we were like, we want to change the game and do something special and i think we did.

>> and from day one you're driving up to campus in your car, it's totally overpacked, you don't to where you're going and you hear four freshmen screaming your name and there they were, your brothers. >> absolutely with the component speaker in the back with the seat laid down. >> of course. >> and the crown air freshener. >> you had your pry ors in order. >> yes, definitely. so i pull up at south quad dorm and i look up and the four members. the fab five are looking out the window like why are you late? second, i was lost. i had to go to a pay phone and call an assistant coach to find my way on campus. >> yeah, no cell phones then. i remember well. >> then right after that it took us maybe an hour and before you knew it, we were behind the dorm actually playing outdoors. >> yeah, and then first day of practice, i love it. you say to the upperclassmen we're not going to mix it up. let's do freshmen versus all the upperclassmen and beat them five games in a row and had to create a little bit of animosity. >> it does create animosity because normally you're a freshman so you're supposed to kind of just shut up and wait

your tur, be seen and not heard but it was our opportunity to make a statement. the team prior, the prior year they didn't make the ncaa tournament so we were like, we can beat these guys and we want to be the starting five and that was the springboard. >> yeah, and making a statement is something that you're very comfortable with doing. you are known for your trash talking and you're very clear about it. it's just part of the game. >> it actually is, but you got to be ready for what the other guy may do. and you got to also produce like growing up in detroit, trash talking works both ways. >> yeah. >> because the guy that's not going to go on to be an nba basketball player might go to the back of the trunk of his car and have something to say about what you were talking about on the court so you got to be careful. >> let me ask you, why did you decide now, jalen, to write the book? >> because i'm at a different point in my life and the basketball era, being an all-american in high school, being a member of the fab five, playing in the nba, now i'm in the full-fledged entertainment business. i'm the next michael strahan.

>> yes, you are. you're the man, jalen. >> ah. >> oh. >> i love you. >> can i dunk on you? >> yes. alley-oop. >> this is such -- oh! >> everybody, the name of the book is "got to give the people what they want." >> and he does. >> and he does. >> thank you. >> love, love having you here. we're going to do some -- >> that's right. be jealous. >> it's in book stores right now and coming up, if that's not good enough, cate blanchett is here. >> wow. >> so, don't go anywhere.

i'm back with oscar winner cate blanchett. she stars in the new movie "truth" based on "60 minutes" producer mary mapes fired after producing a flawed story with dan rather questioning the military record of george w. bush during the vietnam war. >> i have to apologize for the story on air.

>> andrew asked you to apologize? >> he didn't ask. >> dan, that's surrender. >> ever since he changed his story, he feels cbs can't afford the risk to its reputation. >> he knew. >> and cate blanchett joins us now. this movie is so powerful. brings you back to what was a very tense time and we see robert redford playing dan rather right there. >> yes, yes. >> dan rather says he was floored by how you captured mary mapes. how did you do it? >> i thought you were going to say how i captured dan rather. that would have been a stretch. look, working with redford was extraordinary but there was a very particular responsibility one has to playing, you know, a real-life character like mary even though she's behind the camera and not necessarily particularly well known because the mary that i met was, you know, vivacious and vital and front foot and full of good humor but, of course, the film captures her in absolute free fall. it's every journalist's worst

nightmare. >> the way it captures the cascading series of revelations, mistakes, surprises and you see her come in for so much hate. >> a lot of hate. i mean, i think there's -- even though it feels like recent history, 2004, i think -- and you would know this better than i, the media landscape, the political landscape has changed entirely. you know, it was at the beginning of that whole kind of hateful blogosphere personal -- >> yeah, even hearing blogs now sounds a little dated. >> yes, i am dated. you know, i don't really exist in that social media world but i think the whole notion of googling one self and finding that invisible opinionating -- as an investigative journalist, i would imagine it would have been quite galling. >> such a difficult story. it was dropped right in the middle of a presidential campaign which leads to my only film scene with cate blanchett. we do have a scene. >> i'm not looking at you. i'm not looking at the screen. >> you're yelling at me. >> you were green screen when i did it on the day but i could

hear your voice and i could feel the charisma. >> you could feel the anger coming out from your character at what i was saying on television. it is a terrific movie. you also have since the last time you were here a little addition to your family and adopted a little girl. >> i know. we've been blessed. we've been really blesses, so i have three boys and a girl. she's great but it's a wonderful thing when you see your, you know, your children becoming a pack and sort of independent of you and i'm very proud of my sons. >> i bet you the boys will watch out for her. >> oh, yeah. >> steve jobs is coming out -- aaron sorkin coming out with a new movie about steve jobs and you're talking to him about maybe doing lucille ball. >> yes, it's early days. lucille ball was one of my all-time great heroes, lucille ball, phyllis diller, you name it and it's early days but aaron sorkin and i are talking about, yeah, we don't know what form it will be in but there's a lot of material there. she was an extraordinary woman. >> she was an extraordinary woman. >> like mary mapes is an extraordinary woman. >> she is and you capture it in the movie. the movie is called "truth."
