7:08 am
>> we all are. >> absolutely. >> thank you. we move to the latest from washington where congress faces a packed agenda and a tight schedule. president trump is a dein deal-making mode, golfing over the weekend with lindsey graham. then again with senator rand paul talking taxes, the budget and health care and this afternoon a high-stakes lunch with mitch mcconnell. he's been the target of both the president and his former strategist steve bannon but they are coming together in a common cause to try to get that tax bill done before the end of the year. let's start with our senior congressional correspondent, mary bruce on the hill. mcconnell and the president never going to be golfing buddies. but they need a win. >> reporter: gentlemen yes, george. whether they like it or not they have to work together if they want to score a win. tensions likely high as they sit down for lunch at the white house but so are the stakes. first up this week the senate has to pass a budget to pave the way for that top priority of tax reform. the president is promising sweeping changes that will bring relief to the middle class, but his plan also rewards the wealthy and corporations. now there still is no agreement
7:09 am
here from republicans on the details of this plan, but what they do agree on, tax reform is do or die for them politically. >> mary, it has not been a productive year for congress so far, but the to do list is piling up. >> reporter: george, the to do list is daunting and the clock is now ticking. just look at what's on the docket as they head towards the end of this year. in addition to tax reform, they also need to tackle protections for d.r.e.a.m.ers. the president wants congress to strengthen the iran deal and now health reform is also back on the front burner. all of this as they need to fund the government and raise the debt ceiling. we have some big battles coming our way, george. >> could be big showdowns as well. let's go to the white house right now and our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. cecilia, the president has that lunch with mitch mcconnell today but over the weekend, his former stat strategist, steve bannon, taking over the senate candidates who support mitch mcconnell. let's watch. >> this isn't my war. this is our war. [ applause ]
7:10 am
and right now it's a season of war against a gop establishment. >> he's got some real cognizant dissidence here, meeting with mitch mcconnell and steve bannon saying he'll run primaries against anyone who supports mitch mcconnell. it's hard no know what mitch mcconnell is supposed to think as he goes to lunch today. >> reporter: it was a gathering of social conservatives. this is steve bannon basically making good on his promise to wage war on the gop establishment. he says nobody can run and hide and you heard him. he is naming names. mentioned mitch mcconnell and said republican donors are running away from him. he mentioned tennessee senator, bob corker, in the wake of that very public feud. bannon is threatening republicans who don't come out to condemn what corker said with running republican primary challengers against them. but george, you know, the really big question right now is, is this a former chief strategist for this white house just basically talking on his own or is this steve bannon speaking for president trump? >> that's the big question. we know he has encouraging phone calls from the president.
7:11 am
meanti meantime, you got the secretary of state, rex tillerson, out over the weekend supporting that iran decision by the president that he opposed in private, and trying to tamp down rumors about whether or not he called the president a moron. >> reporter: yeah, that was the big headline here in washington last week and days leading up to it but tillerson is not outright denying this. in fact, he's dodging the question. he's calling this petty washington stuff. but he was asked repeatedly did you say this, did you say this. not answering that despite denials from his spokeswoman. over at the state department. the president says that he's got a great relationship with his secretary of state but the president also said he wishes he was tougher on north korea so there's some distance there. >> there certainly is. cecilia vega, thanks very much. robin? we turn to a major headline overseas. more than 300 people have been killed after what's being called the worst terror attack in the history of somalia. a father of three from minnesota is among the victims of the truck bombing in mogadishu. the government is blaming the al shabaab terror group for that attack. now to that abc news exclusive.
7:12 am
army sergeant bowe bergdahl is talking to cameras for the first time since being released by the taliban. after he was captured walking off a combat outpost in afghanistan. that was eight years ago. well, this morning, he is expected to plead guilty to charges of desertion and endangering his fellow soldiers at ft. bragg. our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with much more. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. sergeant bergdahl is expected to enter a guilty plea during a hearing that begins at ft. bragg this morning. in an exclusive tv interview he said it would be impossible to get a fair trial given the words of candidate donald trump who is now his commander in chief. >> my name is bowe bergdahl. >> reporter: bowe bergdahl had been held five years by the taliban when he was released in this dramatic moment. squinting in the sunlight after being confined to a cage by his captors, u.s. special forces were there for the handover. as bergdahl was gaining his freedoms the u.s. was releasing
7:13 am
five taliban prisoners from guantanamo as part of a prisoner swap, a deal that became a highly politicized issue especially given that bergdahl had walked off his post without permission and that at least two soldiers were seriously injured during the search to find him. >> he is a traitor. a no good traitor. who should have been executed. >> reporter: now in his first on-camera interview obtained exclusively by abc news, bergdahl says the words of candidate trump would have made a fair trial impossible. >> it's treason. it's treason. >> may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs, that got what they wanted. >> bing, boom, he's gone. >> reporter: the people who are to the point of saying, yeah, just shoot him, you can never convince those people to change their minds. >> it hurts though? >> it does. >> reporter: he told a british filmmaker himself held by the same taliban group he wants to fight back against what he calls the false reports that he was a traitor.
7:14 am
>> and declared himself a, quote, mujahid or warrior of islam. >> it's insulting. it's very insulting that the idea that they think i did that. >> reporter: in fact, according to army officials, bergdahl, twice tried to escape from his captivity, and was severely punished, beaten and put in a cage like an animal. >> it's a cage that was welded together, about seven foot long by about six foot wide. >> how long were you in that cage for? >> second, fourth, fifth year. >> reporter: now that he plans to plead guilty the question is for the military of what will be what punishment does sergeant bergdahl deserve including possible prison? in the interview recorded last year bergdahl does not address why he walked away from his post but as for that he said the report and an incompetent commander. people in the military doubt that and even so they think it's no excuse for what he did. robin? >> all right, brian. and you can see more of our bowe
7:15 am
bergdahl exclusive on "world news tonight" and also a special edition of "nightline." >> thanks, robin. we move on to colin kaepernick who is taking action against the nfl claiming team owners colluded to keep him from playing because he led the movement to kneel during the national anthem as a protest against police violence. abc's ryan smith is here with the latest. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning george. you know, colin kaepernick has yet to speak out publicly about his lack of nfl employment but now he's letting his lawyers do the talking claiming owners are making an example of him for the repercussions of challenging the nfl. this morning former san francisco 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick challenging the nfl accusing the league and all 32 team owners of colluding to keep him off the field. according to documents obtained by abc news, the unsigned free agent quarterback claims multiple nfl head coaches and general managers stated they wanted to sign mr. kaepernick only to mysteriously go silent with no explanation and no contract offer made. kaepernick pointing to his refusal to stand during the national anthem last season as a
7:16 am
way to protest racial injustice as the reason for his unemployment. a response he said at the time he anticipated. >> you're going to have that backlash for trying to fight for people. >> reporter: with more than three dozen quarterbacks signed since kaepernick hit free agency his lawyers now filing a grievance with the nfl for violating the league's collective bargaining agreement pointing out kaepernick is an ideal candidate with six seasons on the 49ers where he led his team to the super bowl. >> when you file a grievance through the collective bargaining process, you're going to have your grievance adjudicated by an arbitrator. they are going to have to defend their decisions not to hire kaepernick. it's going to come down to what evidence is produced during the discovery process. >> reporter: now the nfl has yet to comment but roger goodell previously dismissed claims of kaepernick being blackballed saying that hiring decisions are left up to individual teams. >> it's not going to be easy for kaepernick to prove collusion. >> no, it's really tough. you talk about he's got to prove
7:17 am
either two teams or a few teams or a team in the nfl got together and tried to keep him from employment and he's got to prove that by clear and convincing evidence. so he's got to produce something actual, e-mails, something in writing at this point and that's very difficult to do i think. >> ryan, thanks very much. now let's go to ginger with the forecast for the fires out west. ginger. >> as great as it is, robin, to see some of those winds relax especially northern california, that high is in place, you still have offshore flow and that means hot and dry weather. at least for today and parts of tomorrow. look at the numbers. we're talking about near 90 for a high in napa. 95 san diego so not going to shift until we see the pattern change and that's going to come later week especially santa rosa and san francisco will cool down and maybe just a little bit of rain. let's get to those select cities now brought to you by febreze.

8:17 am
so if you're willing to be fearless, if you're willing to push your own boundaries, i'm usually on the other side of the camera. this was a little nerve-racking to be able to come here and do this but i'm here. >> you were listening to mrs. obama. >> i was, all the time. >> reporter: for four years amanda traveled with mrs. obama to over 20 countries and countless cities capturing thousands of behind-the-scenes photos of the first lady. did you learn something about her? >> she has such a serious role, but then she also has this lightness about her. she really loves to laugh and, you know, some of the pictures like the one of her with bo and sunny laughing are moments that i feel are -- was my responsibility to share that with people because it definitely shows another side of her. >> now, didn't the president tweet this photo? >> yeah. >> for valentine's day. >> which was pretty cool. >> this candid moment now one of amanda's most widely shared. >> i guess that's the importance of having good editors because i'm such a perfectionist i guess
8:18 am
i was like, okay, the picture is kind of messy because there's all these things in the background. >> what? >> then my editor was like the moment and i'm like, oh, yeah. >> how about when she was with her girls and i believe that is the great wall. >> you know, i love that picture because it just shows for all of her initiatives and all of the important work she's done is like being a mother is still her most important priority. >> can you just describe what it was working with her when it was coming to let's move and all those other initiatives. she was truly passionate about. >> one of the most emotional times i had at the white house was seeing some of these students perform at the white house talent show. once a year when all of these schools that were part of turnaround arts programs got to come and perform on stage. i was just in tears behind my camera because i thought it was so special to see these kids light up and that's what the first lady did for so many children. she invited people into the white house and ignited a spark in them. >> how are you different from that first day you walked through the gates and the last day? >> everything about me is different.
8:19 am
i found confidence. i learned about embracing my own story and the first lady always taught us, you know, the challenges you have encountered in your life are your strengths, they are not your weaknesses. they're the things that teach you resilience. if you're resilient you can overcome anything in life. i guess maybe really accepting all the sides of myself, that was transformational for me. and so i think coming out of the white house, it's -- i'm that light that i was chasing. >> i know. the light that she was chasing and amanda told us she learned the importance of paying it forward from the obamas and she is donating a portion of her proceeds to turn around arts, a program that brings arts into low performing schools. she said the obamas lit up the room whenever they participated in initiatives that you are seeing like this right here. turn around arts or let's move. it really is a beautiful book and they're not all pictures of mrs. obama. there are pictures of just the

"chasing light" is out tomorrow. let's get out -- where is ginger? is she here? >> i'm over here. hey, i'm here with all my friends from philadelphia. they don't even know each other but they found each other. and it is time now for your "gma" moment. we're going to be doing this every day, but in a cool new way

8:31 am
>> this new movie that you have out, explain to people because it's very inspiring about a person, a woman who is blind but then gets her sight. >> yeah, she suffers an eye injury with a car accident when she was a young girl and loses her eyesight around the age of 12 and then she ends up getting a co a corneal transplant in her late 20s which you can do and the woman i was working with on the film, she was changing my contact lenses, she actually had this happen. so when i have the moment where i regain my sight after i have the surgery it was like i was playing to her, is this accurate? is this how you really felt and so it was just so nice to be able to have people around that, you know, could help us tell the story authentically. >> would you like to see a bit of it? >> yeah. come on. [ cheers and applause ] >> gina. >> no, it's okay.
8:32 am
we tried. hmm. [ cheers and applause ] >> that's a moment. [ applause ] >> i don't speak in the movie which is strange. >> but you don't have to. >> no, i do speak. i don't know why we have a clip where i don't speak but i do speak in the movie. not a silent film. >> that's the power of it. to have somebody there who could tell you what that moment really felt like and you were able to express that. >> yeah, because what happens often is your eye can reject the new cornea and so sometimes people start to lose their sight which is what she experiences in the movie a bit so it's a really emotional journey but for her she's in this beautiful loving
8:33 am
marriage and met him what she was blind and once she gets her sight she realizes their marriage isn't exactly everything she thought it was so it's really, really fascinating. yeah. yeah. and i got to know the whole -- the set and everything with the blind contact lenses and i had lenses that would take away my sight. >> completely. >> completely. >> what was that like? >> it was really -- everything else is heightened when you don't have your sight to rely on. the hardest part is looking in the eyes of your co-star when you're having an emotional moment but you have to rely on each other emotionally when you don't have the eyes to rely on there is a greater connectivity so it was a really heavy -- i sang for the first time. i can't sing at all and played the guitar blind. it was just like -- oh, good. >> incredible experience. >> yeah, it was really incredible. >> blake, while we have you have you here, i want to ask you about an avalanche of information coming out about harvey weinstein. the question is you're in the industry. how do you think hollywood moves
8:34 am
on from this point? how do you think it can seize this moment and turn it into something positive? >> i think it's important that we acknowledge that this isn't just hollywood. this is so much so much more global and not just, oh, this is what is happening to women suddenly. this has been happening to women since the beginning of time, but people are finally beginning to talk about it, and that's what's important is that we're -- i never had experiences like this with harvey, that goes to show where, you know, you don't always see what's going on behind closed doors so i think when people come forward that your boss, you have to acknowledge it. there have been moments where i've come forward, others have come forward. things that feel a little -- and you're not sure. when your bosses tell you it's not a priority to them, you think, okay. this might not be that big of a deal. maybe what i'm complaining about isn't that big of a deal and it is. >> that's every single workplace. you have to know it's okay to talk about it. >> but it's more than just we're
8:35 am
talking about it and supporting it. it's action. everybody says that they stand in solidarity but you have to show it. >> amen. [ applause ] yeah. >> your wonderful husband in the business as well. is it helpful that you're both in this business and can have conversations and -- >> in general, yeah, it's nice to have somebody who understands what you're doing especially because our job is so weird. we have to be married to other people and like it's all so strange. it's still -- it's never normal even when we're both doing it but it's helpful to know, oh, when you're acting like you're in a relationship with someone that's not what happening. i have friends married to those not in the business and you're not actually making love in that scene? i'm like, no, no, no. no, definitely not. no. so, yeah, those elements are helpful. >> his tweets about your daughters are hysterical. >> luckily i lost my password to twitter a year and a half ago so i haven't been able to keep up. everybody is always asking about it.
