we hear firsthand from this survivor saved by a hero co-worker. >> he just put his arm around me and he said, i got you. >> only on "gma" this morning. also this morning, caught on camera. a train smashes into a car at a railroad crossing. how it got stuck and how the driver got out just in the nick of time. would you welcome the eagles of death metal. >> and standing tall. the eagl of death metal soaring on stage in paris last night joining u2 and rocking the city of lights in an emotional and powerful return. ♪ people have the power ♪ people have the power and good morning, america. those comments by donald trump causing such an uproar overnight calling for a complete and total shutdown of muslims entering america. shaking up the campaign. sending shock waves overseas, as well. we've been tracking all the reaction all through the night. >> the gop front-runner joins us

live in just a moment to respond this morning. you's be talking to donald trump in a moment. first abc's tom llamas starts us off with the details on what donald trump said and what is being said about him. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. trump's plan comes at an interesting point in the campaign. two polls out of iowa show a very different race, one with trump on top. the other with senator cruz in first place. but now with this plan, the headlines only have one name, trump. for those that couldn't believe it or didn't understand, overnight donald trump said it loud and clear. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: trump arguing because of national security, muslims are no longer welcome in america. >> we have no idea who's coming into our country. we have no idea if they love us or if they hate us. we have no idea if they want to bomb us. >> reporter: and trump promising if elected some muslims in the u.s. will feel the pressure.

>> yes, we have to look at mosques. we have no choice. we have to see what's happening because something is happening in there, man, there's anger, there's anger. >> reporter: the council on american-islamic relations calling trump unamerican. >> donald trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours. >> reporter: trump's muslim ban also has him finding more enemies than friends within his own party. former vice president dick cheney slamming trump. >> i think this whole notion that somehow we can just say no more muslims, just ban a whole religion, goes against everything we stand for and believe in. >> reporter: no support for trump from his gop rivals. >> he is preying on the fears of the american people. it is called rabble-rousing. >> reporter: senators rubio and cruz, dr. carson and jeb bush, all condemning the plan. bush calling him unhinged.

rubio calling his statements offensive and outlandish. governor chris christie calling it ridiculous. >> this is the kind of thing people say when they have no experience and don't know what they're talking about. >> reporter: and on the other side hillary clinton also weighing in, putting out this tweet last night, this is reprehensible, prejudiced and divisive. donald trump, you don't get it. this makes us less safe. but we should also note david brody who covers politics for the christian broadcasting network predicting trump's poll numbers will go up with evangelical voters because of this plan. >> okay, tom. we'll see it. and let's talk to mr. trump himself. he joins us on the phone. thank you for joining us again this morning. you've heard that chorus of condemnation not only from hillary clinton but a lot of republicans as well including the chair of the new hampshire republican party, she says it's unrepublican, unconstitutional, unamerican. do you have any second thoughts at all you may have gone too far? >> well, first of all, george, she's a bush person. and she wants to see bush. and bush has crashed like no one

has ever seen anyone crash before. we have had tremendous support. we've had calls in, thousands and thousands of people. you saw last night we were on a ship. there were thousands of people there. there were thousands of people outside that couldn't get in and, frankly, it was a standing ovation that wouldn't stop. the people and you did polls. people -- interviewed the people that were at my speech last night. and they just want to see something happen. >> so no second thoughts -- >> we had the world trade center -- we had the preworld trade center. a lot of people forget now. they tried to blow it up twice. we had so many other incidents and now the last incident in california, now it turns out that $28,000 was deposited this punk's safety account probably given by some people that we are fighting. something has to be done. and if you look at what i'm saying -- >> let me stop you right there. let me stop you. tell us how it's going to work if you indeed are going to get this done. unlikely it could pass congress

even if it did likely to be found unconstitutional. so huh will you do this? >> what i'm doing is i'm calling very simply for a shutdown of muslims entering the united states. and here's a key. until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. they don't know. >> how would you stop them from entering the united states? >> the other night with a speech that nobody still knows, i tweeted out, is that all there is? he didn't say anything. he doesn't know what's going on. we have people in this country that want to blow up our country. you know it and so do i. the polls have come out and various polls i quoted where 25% of those polls agreed that the violence against americans here in the united states is justified. and they're looking at the jihad and they want a global jihad. now, george, we can take it sitting back, you will have many more world trade centers.

it'll only get worse. you look at paris, you know, i'm not talking about the horrible carnage that took place, paris is no longer the same city. they have areas in paris where the police refuse to go to. you go there because it's so dangerous -- >> i understand what you're saying, sir. >> we don't want that for our country, george. we have to figure it out. >> but tell me how this is going to work. if an american citizen travels overseas, they're muslim, they cannot come back. >> no, they can come back. we're talking about all -- this is not only -- if a person is a muslim and goes overseas and comes back, they can come back. they're a citizen. that's different. but we have to figure things out. we -- look at this case of the bombing and the killing, the carnage where he had bombs all over his apartment and people knew it. and they didn't want to call the police. they knew there was a problem because they didn't want to racially profile him. now, i actually don't believe that. i think these people knew what was going on. i think they are using that as an excuse. they didn't want to racially -- did you ever hear of anything so stupid?

they didn't want to call the police because they didn't want to be -- >> you keep telling -- >> -- they didn't want to racially profile. look, george, we have problems in this country. we have people that want to blow up our buildings, our cities and we have to figure out what's going on. something is happening that's not good. >> you're still not telling -- >> i will tell you this proposal has been met by intelligent people with great popularity. now, george, let me just finish off by saying, it is a period of time. it's until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. >> well, the question is how would they figure out what was going on and how would you know that people are muslims that are coming into the country. and that is not on any passport in the world. and you say you have a lot of support. cover of "the philadelphia daily news." new furor over donald trump showing you raising your hand in

a pretty demonstrative gesture and we have from the council on american-islamic relations -- are we talking internment camps? the final solution to the muslim equation? i feel like i'm back in the '30s. you're increasingly being compared to hitler. does that give you pause? >> no, because what i'm doing is no different than fdr. his solution for german, italian, japanese, you know, many years -- >> so you're for internment camps? >> this is a president highly respected by all, he did the same thing. if you look what he was doing, it was far worse. i mean, he was talking about the germans because we're at war. we are now at war. we have a president that doesn't want to say that, but we are now at war. >> i've got to press you on that, sir. you're praising fdr there. i take it you're praising the setting up of internment camps for japanese during word world war ii? >> no, i'm not. no, i'm not. no, i'm not. take a look at presidential

proclamations, 2525, 2526 and 2527. having to do with alien german, alien italian, alien japanese and what they did. you know, they stripped them of their naturalization proceedings. they went through a whole list of things, they couldn't go five miles from their homes. they weren't allowed to use radios, flashlights. i mean, you know, take a look at what fdr did many years ago and he's one of the most highly respected presidents by -- i mean, respect by most people. they named highways after him. >> you want to bring back positives like that? >> no, i don't want to bring it back, george, at all. i don't like doing it at all. it's a temporary measure until our representatives, many of whom are grossly incompetent, until our representatives can figure out what's going on. we just had a case where people, many people were killed. we're going to have many more cases like that. we had somebody in this country that shouldn't be here -- she came in. he came in. they were radicalized.

they were looking at doing something. miraculously yesterday, they found $28,000 just put into his account. just put into his account. he was paid a lot of money just put in. where did that money come from, george? i'll bet you will be surprised to find out where. there are many, many other people like him in this country right now. >> more than 25% of the world are muslims. aren't you concerned at all you'll make the united states a pariah nation and play right into isis' hands? >> george, if you look at paris, france, if you look at london, if you look at some of these cities where they had open arms, you can't even -- paris is a good example. not only the carnage, take a look at paris, the real paris is a different paris than the city of lights that you read about. they have areas in paris where it is so radicalized and so vicious, i told you, that the police refuse to go there. they will not go there. that's what's going to happen with our country. >> so one more time, no second

thoughts. any muslim coming into the united states is banned for now until the united states can figure out how this is going -- how long do you expect this to go on? >> i hope it will go quickly. i hope we can figure it out but we have to look at people. we have to use vigilance in our country or we'll have many more world trade centers and our country will never be the same. we will have many, many more world trade centers, as sure as you're sitting there, our country will never be the same. and you just said it. until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on, we have no choice but to do this, george. >> donald trump, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you very much. >> george, we'll bring in abc's martha raddatz on this, martha, you just heard what donald trump was saying, standing firmly behind what he said about not allowing any muslims to enter the u.s. how do you feel this will impact the election? >> donald trump has said so many things that people believe are outrageous and think the remarks will do him in. and yet his poll numbers have

risen. but i don't think he's been as strongly criticized by nearly all candidates as he has been on these comments. but look at last night. he was cheered by his supporters. he is touching a chord with them and playing into their fears. >> george touched on this with donald trump. you are our chief global affairs correspondent. you travel the world. this is going to have an impact globally, will it not? >> it is, robin. worldwide reaction from leading muslim organizations around the world this morning is, frankly, shock and outrage. words like disgraceful, racist are being hurled back at trump. there are also questions about how in the world he could make this happen, as george said, if he were president. would he keep muslims sports teams out of the country? how about malala, the know the bell prize-winning girl who was shot in the face because she stood for girls getting an education?

or how about king abdullah from jordan who is fighting isis, experts will tell you this plays right into what isis wants, the more muslims feel alienated the more isis feels they can recruit them. the more that america appears to be targeting muslims not just radical muslims, you can be sure isis would put that in their social media campaign, robin. >> all right, martha, we certainly haven't heard the last from this. >> yeah, you have got to believe this is a defining moment in the campaign, reverberations for months. but as you say, not backing down. >> at all. >> at all. we turn to the investigation to the husband and wife terrorists. the fbi is grilling the friend and neighbor who bought their high-powered weapons. and tracking that suspicious activity in the killer's bank account that trump mentioned. >> federal authorities tell abc news they are pursuing leads that could result in charges being brought against other possible accomplices in the attack. and authorities are also examining an unusually large

deposit made into syed's bank account in the weeks before the attacks. the fbi says it has surveillance tape of the two killers taking target practice at locations around the los angeles area. >> that target practice in one occasion was done within days of this event. >> reporter: an instructor at this range says the fbi seized surveillance tape of syed farook shooting his assault rifle on his own. >> he was here by himself. he came to shoot his ar. >> reporter: but farook's wife was also well practiced. authorities say the way she fired her weapon at police from the back of this suv showed great proficiency in handling her assault rifle. the fbi says there is no doubt farook and tashfeen malik had made their plans to attack well in advance. >> we have learned and believe that both subjects were radicalized and have been for quite some time. >> reporter: officials say the most important lead now involves the man they say provided the couple with these two assault rifles. enrique marquez, a former security guard and convert to islam, was questioned for much of the day monday by the fbi about the guns and about whether

he knew in advance about the planned attacks. >> our major concern is determining how those firearms, the rifles in particular, got from marquez to farook and malik. the fire arms at present are at the fbi laboratory, where the fbi is performing forensic examination on them. >> reporter: authorities tell abc news marquez was questioned for much of the day monday and has provided information not previously known to the fbi about farook and his intentions. marquez's wife is also under scrutiny. a russian emigree whose sister married into the farook family. both wives appear to have come to this country under that controversial fiance visa program. george? >> so many questions. what about that deposit? >> reporter: that's part of the working theory that it may have been used to fund the attack. let's go to amy with the morning's other top stories. starting with more trouble for the police in chicago.

>> another disturbing video from chicago police has been now made public. this one showing officers using a stun gun on a man inside a cell and then dragging him down a hallway. he later died from a drug reaction. investigators ruling the officers were justified in their actions. but the mayor insists the case is not closed. meanwhile, there will be no charges filed in the fatal chicago police shooting of ronald johnson. investigators say he was armed and posed a threat. authorities near san francisco have arrested five suspects accused of pointing blinding green lasers at police helicopters, one of three incidents was caught on camera here. these men face up to three years in prison. dramatic moments in orlando when two men turned their car onto the train tracks and then got stuck just as a freight train was approaching. they got out. look at that, with just a few seconds to spare. police say they believe the car was stolen. and an emotional reunion on stage in paris as bono introduced the eagles of death metal. >> can i hear you? is everybody here having a good time?

lifetime deal with nike. his partnership with them started before he graduated from high school. neither side saying how much the deal is worth. you can bet it's a lot. >> it's about money. >> that's a lifetime achievement award right there. >> no kidding. we also have a warning for you this morning about those por porch thieves who could be targeting your christmas packages. t.j. is standing by. he's got new weapons to fight them coming up. >> don't they realize cameras are everywhere? we'll begin, lara, this half hour in san bernardino. hundreds of people attending two candlelight vigils last night to remember the 14 people killed in that vicious attack. and for the first time we are hearing chilling firsthand stories from inside that conference room. abc's cecilia vega spoke with some of the survivors. she joins us this morning. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the people here are somehow determined to find good at what came out of this. look at this photo. a first from inside the room. a worker receiving an employee of the the year award.

they had no idea what would come. denise peraza alive this morning protected by her friend who uttered these three words -- >> he just put his arm around me and he said, i got you. >> reporter: the 27-year-old environmental health specialist huddling under a table in the conference room with her friend shannon johnson. he did not survive. he saved you. >> he did. i don't think he realized it at the time. he even thought a second about it -- he just did it instinctively. they say he didn't just save me, he saved our whole family. >> reporter: in an abc news exclusive peraza recounting the terrifying moments after the shooters entered the room. >> obviously i was very scared. you only see these things in movies. you know? gunpowder smell, i'll never forget it, never. i'm so glad i was sitting with him. >> reporter: she was shot once in the side, struggling to stay

silent during the attack, denise hoped the shooters would think she was dead and move on. >> i remember it being quiet and me just trying to control my breathing so if they were still in there, they would think i was dead. >> reporter: she managed to call her husband after the shooters left the room. >> it was devastating. very devastating just like almost lost her in that moment. >> reporter: just one year earlier the staff held an active shooter training in that very room. trudy raymundo and corwin thought the shooting was a drill. it was not. the shooting started before they'd even come inside that room. >> i think i heard at least five or six rounds. >> it was pop, pop, pop. >> maybe more. >> reporter: they say syed farook was dressed in all black wearing a ski mask and opened fire. his wife tashfeen malik right there too. >> the shooter stepped into the room and began firing immediately. >> reporter: at least 70 people were in that room on a break from the dag-long training event.

the scene before the shooting a happy one. there was a christmas tree, the shooters entering from this door. >> didn't look like he was pointing at anybody specific. he was just firing. >> reporter: they say the shooters fired in silence. what went through your mind when you heard that name? >> just devastation that it could be possibly one of our own. >> it's a complete sense of betrayal. >> reporter: for peraza just thinking about her friend and those three words, i got you, gets her through the pain. >> i'm sure that there's a lot of other people in the office like you said who are helping other people. and i want to make sure that everyone knows how amazing all of them were, every single one of them. >> reporter: so tough to listen to. people out here, you know, they don't want to talk about terrorism. they don't want to say the shooter's names. the name that denise peraza wants to talk about, shannon johnson.

she says when she starts her family one day soon robin and george, she already has the name of her first child picked out. >> no doubt. no doubt, cecilia, thank you. >> every time you hear that story, it just takes your breath away. >> it does. we will move on to a former usc football coach steve sarkisian. he was fired for drinking on the job in october. he is now suing the school and claims he was discriminated against because of a alcohol problem. >> reporter: this is the moment head coach steve sarkisian's struggle with alcohol became public. >> get ready to [ bleep ]. let's go! >> reporter: the coach of multiple heisman trophy winners fired two months after this surfaced now the former coach is firing back. filing in at least $12.6 million wrongful termination lawsuit against the university. saying he suffered from alcoholism, calling it a disability, but claiming usc kicked him to the curb when he sought treatment. sarkisian was terminated for allegedly drinking on the job.

his assistant coaches alleging he was under the influence during this september game. and some saying he appeared intoxicated at an october team practice. initially placed on indefinite leave in october, sarkisian fired less than 24 hours later without pay. >> it was very clear to me that he is not healthy. >> reporter: sarkisian denies he was ever drunk at work including that booster event where he says he consumed two beers along with prescription medication for anxiety beforehand. and according to the 33-page lawsuit, the coach had been grappling with stress from the long hours of coaching and an impending divorce. >> if steve sarkisian can prove that his alcoholism was a serious condition and usc knew about that and failed to accommodate his request for rehabilitation, then he has a good chance of winning this lawsuit. >> reporter: the school releasing a statement writing, we are profoundly disappointed in how mr. sarkisian has

mischaracterized the facts and we intend to defend these claims vigorously. the embattled coach now saying he's sober and ready to return to coaching. for "good morning america," ryan smith, abc news, new york. >> thanks to ryan for that. let's talk to dan abrams. he joins us from l.a. usc says they warned him many times about this alcohol problem. so does he really have a case? >> this is not going to be an easy case for him. there's no question that alcoholism is considered a disability under the law. and an employer is required to provide reasonable accommodation. that doesn't mean they have to accommodate him if he is showing up to work drunk or under the influence. and that's going to be the factual and legal question here. i think the only way he wins this case is if he can demonstrate the reason he was fired is because he wanted to get help. he says i wanted to go into an impatient program and it's at that point they fired me.

but as you point out, with those warnings, those aren't just warnings. those are a record that the university says they have of his drinking on the job. >> okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. we will be watching. coming up as the holidays approach you better watch out for thieves who could steal your packages right off your front porch right there, t.j. >> they sure can but, robin, you want all of your holiday packages to be like these having no chance of being stolen because they'll never see a porch. yes, santa has new helpers this year and they might be right around the corner.

probation for a dui in november last year. >> he couldn't really find his footing. he's tried to produce a few reality shows but they haven't really taken off. >> reporter: the only signs of cavallari so far, this 2014 black honda civic with california plates, ditched near a remote dirt road in utah, the engine left running, air bag deployed, his phone inside. and the electronic trail leading authorities to this convenience store about 100 miles from where his car was discovered. he was last spotted entering the store and pumping gas. kristin cavallari, her husband bears' quarterback jay cutler, and the rest of their family now hoping for the best. and authorities are calling the disappearance suspicious but there's nothing to indicate anything one way or another. the vehicle was just simply abandoned. very disturbing. >> so strange. >> really, really strange. >> so hopeful for them. >> thoughts go out to their family. >> thank you, jess. let's go over to robin.

now to groundbreaking new care guidelines for breast cancer survivors. there are more than 3 million of us in the country and the five-year survival rate in the u.s. is now almost 90% but until now there was no comprehensive plan for what to do once treatment stops and life goes on. dr. jennifer ashton is here to tell us more about this. you have the biggest smile on your face all morning long. >> that's right. >> tell us why. >> finally something we can all agree on and really good news. this is called the breast cancer survivorship care guidelines, it's a massive compilation of work, the country's top experts released by the american cancer society and the american society of clinical oncology so you get a lot of doctors agreeing, that's always a good thing and it's really about focusing the transition on treating a patient with a disease, in this case breast cancer, to really taking care of a woman in terms of her health and wellness. i spoke with the first author, dr. carolyn runowitz and herself

a breast cancer survivor. she said this was a massive undertaking, long overdue, but it's really one-stop shopping for doctors and then hopefully patients about how to take care of the whole woman. >> what do the guidelines address, jen? >> literally head to toe because we have to remember it is a whole person approach here so starting at the head, body image, depression, anxiety, there is specific focus on nutrition in women who have survived breast cancer. and then we're working our way down the body. heart failure because of the chemotherapeutic agents can lead to problems with the heart. bone issues, sexual health, menopausal symptoms. i mean, this is really patient-centered care. a holistic approach, if you will. it's about treating the whole woman and not just a body part. >> and how about the guidelines for screening post -- >> right. so you're asking about surveillance. >> yeah, because there's always a big debate. i hesitate because there's always a big debate about this. >> this is the 800-pound gorilla in the room. so they did make some recommendations on that. they said for women who survived

breast cancer, they are looking for two things. local recurrence. a return of the breast cancer in that affected breast. or a second breast cancer, and they said for most women, just annual mammography. if the woman has had a lumpectomy in that breast or she's had a mastectomy in that breast and not to routinely order an mri unless a woman is high risk meaning a brca -- mutation or a lifetime risk. >> do you agree with that? >> i do. we have to be careful at throwing a wide net. >> give us the bottom line again -- i know you're proud of your colleagues for doing this because i have to tell you and i'm looking over at amy. we talk about this all the time. it's kind of like, okay, you're finished, go out there and you're looking around going what do i -- >> it's like you leave the nest. so i'm thrilled for the millions of women that this will have a positive impact on. as you said, i'm very proud of my colleagues for putting this type of work together and i think we have to remember that most breast cancer research and the studies that we always report here at abc, they focus on survival or death or

mortality because that's the most important thing. but we've gotten so much better at treating breast cancer that now we also need to pay attention to quality of life. because if you survive breast cancer but you then die of a fractured hip or heart failure or you have a poor quality of life, then we haven't succeeded. so this is going to bring attention to all those issue. >> that's why we want to be thrivers, not survivors, survivors seem like you're just hanging on. men, i always hear breast cancer affects them as well but they weren't in the study. >> no, and we need to pay more attention to men with breast cancer, absolutely. >> all right. and we're going to -- jen will take all your questions all morning on facebook and twitter. you can tweet her @drjashton. or post your questions on "good morning america's" facebook page. amy? >> robin, jen, thank you so much for that. robin, i know we have each other to talk to. but it's so great to have guidelines for women on how to live with a new normal. let's move on now to the christmas season, the holiday season. we have a look at the future of shopping online. sales are soaring this holiday season.

and that is forcing stores to rethink the entire shopping experience, and abc's rebecca jarvis is here with that story. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: hey, amy, good morning to you. and they are getting a lot more creative rolling out loads of new technology to make your in-store experience easier, more entertaining, and most importantly to help you get the very best deals. we got a sneak peek at target's newest concept. this morning, a retail revolution, with foot traffic down and online sales up 14% this holiday, retailers are reimagining the in-store experience. target inviting us in for an exclusive first look at their latest concept. is this the future? let's go shopping. target wonder land, a temporary pop-up shop in new york city opening tomorrow. instead of a shopping cart customers walk around with these. rfid-enabled keys.

technology that lets you tap what you want to buy and automatically transmits it to a digital shopping cart. >> i hope when you walk into a target store in the future, it's as inspiring to shop us here, and it can be as easy to shop as simply scanning your token. >> reporter: the new interactive experience also including a giant etch-a-sketch -- all right, time to shake it out. interactive video games. boom. and a visit with santa. santa! via satellite at the north pole all meant to keep customers in stores and shopping up a storm. >> we are testing different things all around the country. the more we can make the actual shopping experience fun again, exciting again and easy, that's really the magic. >> reporter: target isn't the only retailer reinventing the in-store experience. from ralph lauren and rebecca minkoff adding interactive mirrors to their stores. that's cute. add to my room. to monitors inside mega makeup chain sephora stores where you can get personalized skin care

and fragrance recommendations at the touch of a button. >> target has to improve the in-store experience. otherwise people would just shop online. target is trying to up the convenience factor so people will come to the stores. >> reporter: 80% of shopping carts online are abandoned before checkout. shopping in stores means customers are much more likely to complete their purchases. >> rfid technology will definitely take off. retailers will use to this make the shopping experience more convenient for consumers. >> reporter: that rfid technology lets retailers wirelessly transmit product info. here's the reason all of these changes are so important to retailers. we, as shoppers, are a lot more likely to make impulse purchases in stores than we are online. i'm hearing a lot of retailers are looking at this because not only do we abandon the carts when we're online but we also don't do the impulse purchases in store. >> do we buy more regrettable purchases when we're there? >> all right. go shop. >> thank you, rebecca. let's head outside to ginger. >> i make impulse buys on both.

let's go to ocean beach, california. this is just west of san francisco. some big-time surf. and this is just the beginning. because remember, we're talking about that storm an storm hitting the west. well, the high surf advisory is on. you could see up to 30 to 36-foot waves all the way up especially northern california up through the early parts of oregon. all right. so look at this. springlike weather. you guys sticking around for the weekend? if you are, it's going to be nice and warm for this time of year. that's the big picture. good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco with the forecast. patchy fog to patchy sunshine and mild temperatures. the storm is sagging south so rain and wind heaviest on thursday and sunday. as far as today, we will see increasing clouds use head north, legal 60s in most neighbors and we will not have the rough surf at the cost like yesterday. my seven-day forecast shows thursday morning commute is going to be fun, have a great

>> all right. this is a tv production crew, and i want this guy here to send it in to lara. >> all right, lara, back to you. >> well, thank you. i'm going to catch that toss and begin "pop news" with this. a very special pop-in this morning, guys. critically acclaimed film director ava duvernay, mattel created a barbie doll in her likene likeness which sold out in one hour yesterday. all proceeds going to witness and color of change, happy to say ava now joining us live from los angeles. good morning to you. >> good morning. good morning. >> thank you so much for popping in. we want to congratulate you. the reaction on your barbie has been overwhelming. why did you want to team up with mattel on this project? >> i was just a big barbie girl growing up. my sisters, gina and tara and i -- we grew up in compton. my mother, you know, just really encouraged us to expand our imaginations so we had a couple of dolls, none of them looked

like me, though and so with the opportunity to kind of create a doll that had brown skin and natural hair. and who was directing her own movie, that was an incredible opportunity. >> i love the chair. >> yeah. >> love it. >> did you have a lot of input into how your barbie looked and what she's wearing and her props? >> yeah, the natural hairstyle was very important to me. i think that's something that should be celebrated. the differences in all of us, so much rhetoric about kind of collapsing who we are, it's about expansion and celebrating everyone. and then the chair was my favorite thing. because it took me a long time to earn that chair. >> yeah. >> and so i wanted every girl and boy to have one. >> i love that, ava. you know, barbie was originally created by ruth handler. in 1959. she wanted her daughter to play with a toy that enabled her to make her own choices, so 60 years later your doll continuing this message. how do you feel about being a part of this big dream message? >> you know, i mean, everyone should be able to see themselves and so that's really what my point is in doing this.

images and balance and storytelling and our imagination is something that should be embraced and widened, expanded. and so that's what i'm hoping this does, changes the view of who we think a director can be, changes the view of who we think a barbie should look like. >> absolutely. >> could you run for president, please, with your inclusive thinking? >> no, ma'am. no, ma'am. >> yeah. and this sounds like the perfect holiday gift if you could get one. i know you tweeted, ava, you're surprised that your barbie sold out. you wrote, #whoa. #bananas. #nuts. so any more be made available? >> i don't think so. it was a limited run. it was only supposed to be one doll. and by popular demand it was expanded. it was a short-time celebration. but a good thing. i'm happy about it. >> ava for president. congratulations. that's fantastic. thanks for popping in to "pop news." >> thank you. have a good morning. >> thank you.

oh,man. fantastic message. >> we want more. >> we want more of ava. yeah, it's a really great message. >> and more of the dolls. >> i know. mattel, i'm sure you will get them. also in "pop news" this morning we have some real estate news. if you've been extra nice maybe santa will give you the keys to a celebrity's home. lots of stars on the move including brad and angelina. that is their new orleans mansion built in the 1830s located in the french quarter and has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a guest house and a major reduction in price, they slashed the price by $850,000. >> so what is it now? >> now, it's only $5.6 million. >> well, well. >> and then bruce willis' is also on the market. i will not be able to get to it because we had so much fun talking to ava. >> looks good. >> so there it is. it's expensive. $12.9 million. santa, i've been so nice this year. we'll be back in a minute.

good morning, i'm kristen sze. happening today, the three santa clara county officers are scheduled to appear in court today to enter a plea. an autopsy showed 31-year-old michael tyree died from blunt force trauma and internal bleeding in august. the three deputies were arrested with tyree's murder and are due in court at 1:30 this afternoon. how is the morning commute going? >> we have an accident in the middle lane just before the toll plaza. traffic is stacked up beyond that. if you are coming from 80 westbound, you're backed up to the tolls. and 580 and 880 are jammed on the approach. we'll take a live look at the

mcarth mcarthur maze.

welcome back. we're at the thickest the fog is going to get, a quarter mile in concord and napa. as far as delays, we are looking at an hour and 60 minutes. we are running fine with breaks in the cloud cover along the north. let me show you what is going to happen, we'll have a little bit

of sunshine across the south bay. the rest of us are going to have mostly cloudy conditions and temperatures that will run near ♪ we welcome you back to "gma" on this tuesday morning and we felt it too. a lot of excitement for "star wars: the force awakens." just ten days away now. >> nothing will top your moment with carrie fisher. >> maybe the movie itself. >> yes, but we have been counting down to "star wars." it's been so great having all the stars with us. i got to sit down with one of them, the new face of the dark side. in case you hasn't heard the force has awakened here at "good morning america." it is "star wars" week and with us today is adam driver who plays kylo ren, the new bad guy in the galaxy. hi, how are you? >> good. how are you? >> darth vader, kylo ren, who is a bigger bad guy? >> i don't know.

it's hard so say. >> yes, even you have never faced such a test. >> you know, one is very -- more realized than i think. kylo ren is definitely a fan. >> a fan? >> he likes his work. >> that's nice. that's nice that darth vader is his mentor. >> he is, yeah. >> not disturbing at all. >> no, no, no. some people, you know, make wrong decisions in life, i guess. >> right. i understand you finally got to see the film. >> i did, yeah, this past week. >> given your sort of need for secrecy, i want to ask you maybe a little word association. >> okay. >> when you think about the experience of working on the set and i don't even know who you were in scenes with because we weren't allowed to see the movie but being on the same set with carrie fisher -- >> neither do i actually. i'm wearing a helmet so it's like -- like really could have been anybody. >> were you like, i'll get you when i can find you. >> j.j. was just face this way and hold this up every once in a

while and we'll be okay. >> is this a lightsaber? >> i don't know. maybe. >> oh, darn it. >> maybe it's a potato peeler. everyone's got to eat in space. >> i thought i got you. >> no. >> so being on the same set with the likes of carrie fisher, what comes to mind? >> she is very generous and very funny and puts everyone at ease immediately, i think. >> chewbacca. >> surprisingly emotional. there's like chewbacca hug breaks every time we -- and i hate hugging, like i don't like to hug anybody. but something about seeing him there, everyone -- the costume they had to repair a lot because it kept disintegrating from everyone hugging chewbacca. >> really? >> yeah, it's surprising lly emotional seeing someone that huge and furry. >> warms my heart in a strange way. >> okay. good. >> han solo, the one and only harrison ford. >> very surreal. again, very generous and i remember one time we were looking at sets, everyone was kind of all around all the time,

even at base camp we're on set and he said, look what we get to do, which for me was very -- you would think that someone who has accomplished so much in his life and career would be less kind of excited maybe. that's like a bad idea that i had going into it but still kind of excited by the process and to be doing it and playing that character is kind of also moving for me. >> how was it juggling both "girls" and "star wars"? you couldn't get two more different projects to be shooting at the same time. >> it was good in that like actually because i feel like i tend to overthink things so didn't have any room to think because you're shooting one week and flying and shooting "girls" the next week. >> you never got confused, lightsaber on the "girls" set? i somehow think that would work. >> show up naked on "star wars." why is everybody -- yeah, ironclad.

>> is it true that "girls" is over? >> one more season, yeah, and i think it's done. >> yeah. >> experience been terrific? >> yeah, if they wanted to keep doing it, i would keep doing it. i love working with that group of people, the crew and the cast. >> well, and you do an amazing job on it. love "girls." looking forward to that new season and then also adam driver in "star wars: the force awakens." congratulations. >> thanks. >> can't wait to see it. show me a frame of it. "star wars: the force awakens" flies into theaters on december 18th. we're almost there. >> oh, lara, i am with you. i can't wait to see "girls" and "star wars" but now it is time for "ask zee" alt brought to you by belfor and this one we've got a live question today. this is summer from new jersey. you have a great question for me. >> why has it been so warm lately? >> it has been. east of the rockies a lot of us has been. let's talk about the answer. it all has to do with the jet stream. that fast moving tunnel has cut off the cold air.

especially east of the rockies if you're west of the rockies, this is you looking at the next eight to ten-day forecast. the probabilities of how much above average it'll be, yeah, it's going to stay that way all the way through 8 to 14 days, so that was a great question, summer. i appreciate you being here but we want to see your question, go to my facebook, use the #, >> good morning. i am meteorologist mike nicco. good news. the serve relaxes. 57 to 60. we will see more sunshine after a dry start. low-to-mid 60s. my seven-day forecast shows thursday morning, we are going to be wet and wind "ask zee" was brought to you by belfor. i'm holding on to you, summer. you're not going anywhere. let's go ahead in to george. >> thanks, ginger. >> great to have steve carell here on "gma." starring with christian bale, brad pitt and

ryan gosling in "the big short." funny and furious take on the worst financial crisis of our lives and steve plays one of the angriest bankers on wall street. take a look. >> you hate wall street but maybe it's time to quit. >> i love my job. >> you hate your job. >> i love my job. >> you're miserable. >> i love my job. i love my job, honey. >> mark. >> cynthia, i'm okay. i really am. hey, hey, hey. no, no. my cab. that's my cab. that's my cab. that is my cab. i'll call you later. >> steve carell joins us right now. after that scene, you know, you played a banker named steve eisman who is -- he wants to make a lot of money but is on a crusade. >> he sees himself as a hero railing against this enormous corrupt institution. >> what was it like having him on set? >> a little weird. >> i'll bet. >> i play a character based on him. the character's name is mark baum, but it's closely based on steve eisman, and he showed up the second day i was shooting and they told him, you know,

maybe don't hang out around the monitor, you know, sort of let adam mckay, the director -- just be a fly on the wall and within minutes he was giving adam notes. he was coming on set and giving me notes but -- >> that's the kind of guy he is. >> he's a very brash guy but he helped -- he's really smart and the notes were good. >> that's the thing about this movie. it was such a creative movie. it brought back for me a lot of memories of that crisis but you guys found ways to break it down in a real accessible way. who would have thought selena gomez could talk to you about collateralized debt obligations. >> right. it's dry. you know, and you read the book which is a really entertaining book but you think, how are they going to break this stuff down so someone like me could actually understand it and adam does a really good job and does it in an entertaining way. >> it is a scary time. >> it is. i think it is kind of a horror movie. at the end it leaves you with this ominous feeling in your gut and, you know, it's funny also. >> that's the thing. it's got a lot of different

elements to it. a lot of tension, as well. >> we're talking about "star wars," right? >> you got the memo. that is all we talk about on "gma." >> all right. >> bob iger, did you hear that? this is good. it's good. right there. you changed a little bit for the role. >> i did. >> ate some pizza. >> i gained like 25 pounds. >> committed to your character. >> you know what, adam mckay, the director asked me to put on some weight because the character, the guy dresses well, but doesn't necessarily look good in clothes and always a little bit shlubby and so i ate a lot of deep dish pizza and i showed up the first day and adam said, wow, you're really fat. and i said -- >> nice. >> and i took it -- it was a compliment. it was great. i think it's the only way that that -- >> i heard you gave it right back to ryan gosling. >> ryan walked out of the trailer the first time in his look, and i said, never look

like that again. don't ever do that. he's such a good-looking guy and it's a bad, bad -- it's a creepy look. >> even though this is 2007/2008 it was a real '80s banker look. >> i don't know what it is but it works for him. >> and the movie works really well. steve carell, thanks for coming back. >> thank you. >> "the big short" opens in new york and l.a. on friday and nationwide december 23rd. coming up here, we have our cupcake decorating challenge. pastry chef johnny iuzzini is pastry chef johnny iuzzini is here. ♪ ♪ spend less time chasing sales and more time going the extra mile. find thoughtful gifts at amazing prices everyday at t.j.maxx, marshalls and homegoods. ♪ ♪ give something special, to those most special to you. find thoughtful gifts at amazing prices everyday at t.j.maxx, marshalls and homegoods.
