now this morning the new danger. michael douglas' son cameron with diane sawyer breaking his silence after years in prison, on trying to live up to his family's legacy, his struggle with addiction -- >> you shot cocaine into your neck? >> and the powerful phone call from his father. >> those words were heartbreaking to me. >> it's only on "gma" this morning. more from those enlightening interviews with the duke and duchess of sussex. reports that prince william is worried about his brother as meghan's emotional struggle behind the scenes resonates with so many. >> the good thing is i've got my baby and i've got my husband and they're the best. and it's the final countdown to the epic end of an era. "star wars: the rise of skywalker," the explosive final trailer after 44 years and 9 films. chewie, rey and the whole gang are soaring through the galaxy

once again. will the emperor strike back? may the force be with fans this morning. really, michael? >> hey, may the force be with everybody this morning. >> that's right. we do say good morning, america, to one and all including "star wars" fans. the world is counting down to the premiere of "the rise of skywalker." >> oh, yeah, and that final trailer premiered last night during monday night football. it's already racked up millions of views online as always. everybody is excited about "star wars." >> we'll have all the reaction coming up. but we begin with the impeachment showdown. crucial witnesses heading to capitol hill this morning. the ambassador who warned fellow diplomats it would be crazy to hold back aid to ukraine and this comes as president trump is pressuring republicans calling on them to get tougher and fight. our senior congressional correspondent mary bruce starts us off from capitol hill. good morning, mary. >> reporter: george, good

morning. president trump is now staring down the very real possibility of impeachment in the house, and now he is trying to rally his own party telling republicans this morning, it's time to toughen up. as the impeachment pressure grows this morning president trump is pushing republicans to fall in line. >> i think the republicans should get tougher. >> reporter: overnight, the president taking on detractors in his own party. >> i think that the democrats are not good politicians, but you don't have the mitt romneys of the world. you don't have people that will go against the party. you have better -- they stick together. >> reporter: senator romney is one of a few republicans criticizing the president, now signaling he's open to voting to remove trump from office. >> we certainly can't have presidents asking foreign countries to provide something of political value that is after all against the law. >> reporter: this morning on capitol hill another key witness, bill taylor, the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine, he raised concerns when he thought the president was withholding millions of dollars in military aid for political gain. in released text messages

between taylor and the u.s. ambassador to the eu, gordon sondland, taylor writes, i think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign. trump is brushing it off. >> they're interviewing ambassadors who i had never heard of. i don't know who these people are. >> reporter: but ambassador sondland who testified last week was handpicked by trump for the job. now, house speaker pelosi is also trying to rally her troops. sending around a fact message outlining her messaging. what they've learned so far, it describes what the speaker describes as the shakedown, the pressure campaign and the cover-up, george. democrats are clearly trying to hammer at their belief the president used his office for political gain. >> meantime, you've got the steady stream of witnesses behind closed doors for now and they've got so many new leads that it's probably slowing the timeline for impeachment down. >> reporter: yeah, george, democrats say they want to move quickly here but they also want to question a lot of these witnesses. they are plowing through these

closed door depositions but they also want to hold open hearings. so it seems likely this process is going to go well into the holiday season. speaker pelosi told me last week the timeline here depends on the truth, george. >> mary bruce, thanks very much. michael. george, now to new reports revealing russia is already trying to meddle in our elections. facebook moving to take down dozens of accounts posing as americans but are actually originated from companies in moscow. our chief national affairs correspondent tom llamas is here with more. good morning, tom. >> reporter: michael, good morning to you. we're talking about accounts on facebook and instagram trying to influence voters. how do they do it? it's pretty simple. they pose as political or socially conscious groups, and once you start following them, they start pushing content to manipulate the way you think. president trump, bernie sanders and joe biden seem to be the candidates they're focused on. this morning, facebook saying they found evidence of russia and other foreign actors including iran trying to influence the 2020 election using social media. facebook announcing they

pinpointed and shut down four state-backed disinformation campaigns. a deeper dive done by the social media research firm graphika shows the russian accounts manipulated or created memes and images, some in support of president trump like this instagram post from alleged fake users law.abiding.citizen and free.dom.choice consistently slamming joe biden, and some of the russian acunts facebook says showed support for bernie sanders, like this one from bernie.2020, underscore on instagram again taking shots at joe biden. almost half the accounts claim to be in swing states, especially florida. just last week, facebook founder and ceo mark zuckerberg touting changes the social media giant is undertaking. but in april admitting to george stopping altogether the spreading of political misinformation like what happened in the 2016 election would be impossible.

>> so you can't guaranteit's not going to happen again. >> well, what i can guarantee is that they're definitely going to try. that's what we see. so our job is to make the defenses stronger and stronger, to make it harder for them to do what they're doing. >> reporter: now, in reporting the story the most striking ing we found was the range of groups that are posing to be a part of, conservative groups, black activist groups, gun rights, lgbtq, muslim and even christian accounts and one tip that our viewers can use to kind of spot these on facebook and instagram, the grammar is off. the english is off. the hashtags are off. there's always a little subtle mistake. for instance they were attacking congresswoman ocasio-cortez. instead of putting #aoc, it was oac. it's little things like that that you can spot. the thing that surprised us they're all over the map when it comes to politics. >> hopefully we learn something from 2016 and what happened then. all right, tom, thank you.

now to the latest on the crisis in syria with the cease-fire brokered by the u.s. set to expire today and american troops leaving the northern part of the country. our foreign correspondent james longman reporting again from the region this morning. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, robin. yeah, it's a cease-fire that never really began. but today the five-day pause officially comes to an end. both sides accuse the other of breaking the agreement but the world will be watching to see if president erdogan relaunches his incursion into northern syria. he's meeting with vladimir putin today to discuss next steps, a clear sign of russia's increasing influence as the u.s. backs off, and as american forces leave their positions, we've seen their vehicles pelted with potatoes by desperate kurds now worried for their safety. these troops were once hailed as heroes by the kurds. remember, it's a very different picture now. this sign reads thanks, u.s. people, but trump betrayed us. president trump says he never promised to protect the kurds and says his priority is to get u.s. troops home but we know instead some will stay in syria to protect oil interests while others head to iraq to monitor isis. another sign of u.s. policy

being tested, this morning iraq saying those troops don't have permission to stay in the country, george. >> could be chaotic there, okay, james, thanks very much. we move on now to those wildfires burning in california damaging several homes. at least seven fires burning out there right now. there are new alerts for fire danger as temperatures rise and winds pick up. matt gutman is in san bernardino with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: george, good morning. it was chaos out here. firefighters racing to the scene. scrambling up this hill pulling out a 90-year-old woman from that home and just across the way here this house torched in minutes. there were four kids inside, and firefighters managed to save most of this neighborhood but five people were hospitalized for smoke inhalation. this morning, california in that critical fire danger. multiple fast-moving fires burning near los angeles. this one in san bernardino quickly destroying or damaging nine homes.

dozens of homes evacuated. the show "live rescue" on a&e capturing firefighters pulling people from homes. >> we're going to try that operation that we did earlier with utilizing that ambulance to shuttle some folks out. >> reporter: that came after a mass evacuation for hundreds of families in the upscale city of pacific palisades. that fire quickly racing up a hillside. you can see those men with garden hoses trying to fight back the flames. then they break for it and run. that sedan backing out as the flames nip at it. residents quickly evacuated. a fleet of fefighting planes overhead dive bombing the flames just feet from the ground with precision. this woman on the way to the car thankfully managing to escape. and this man picking up his daughter from a nearby school on foot. >> i'm up here. the fire is there and she's on the other side. >> reporter: first reported as a

one-acre fire that grew to 40 acres in minutes, thankfully no one was hurt. now the power is out in this neighborhood and california yuttytys say they may turn off the power for thousands in southern california. temperatures are expected to rise. the winds are expected to kick up. it's going to be an exhausting few days for firefighters here. george. >> okay, matt, thanks very much. tough week ahead. >> exhausting for sure. we go from out west to down south to the aftermath of devastating tornadoes that pummeled part of texas leaving a trail of destruction. marcus moore is in texas this morning with the latest. good morning to you, marcus. >> reporter: michael, good morning. the national weather service says three tornadoes touched down here in the dallas area on sunday. one of them was a devastating ef-3 with 140-mile-per-hour winds leaving ruins and chunks of debris like this all over the place. i want you to look at our drone in the air this morning and it

get you a sense of what it did to this house behind me. it snapped this tree and tore the roof right off of the house, leaving it exposed to the elements. it's a heartbreaking thing to see this house and so many others were destroyed when this storm came through. we have heard stories of survival. families that huddle in closets, praying for their lives. but despite all of the destruction we have seen, no one was killed. and that's remarkable when you consider this storm went through a densely populated area, and robin, some are having to start all over again. >> i'm sure. thinking about everybody down there, marcus. thank you. now to a new lawsuit against juul, the young man claiming the company's products put him in the hospital and linsey davis has that exclusive interview. take a look. >> i had to learn how to walk again basically, like i couldn't walk. >> reporter: in a new lawsuit,

21-year-old conner evans alleges his 2 1/2 weeks in a pennsylvania hospital are directly linked to his year-long vaping of the popular e-cigarette juul. >> my lungs were filled up to 80% of the capacity filled with fluid. >> reporter: now this morning, evans is suing the company claiming it failed to warn him about the dangers. the once-healthy high school hockey captain was admitted to the hospital in may having great difficulty breathing and later placed in a medically induced coma for eight days. >> you're sitting on a bed and your parents are just looking at you and your family and, you know, everyone. you don't realize how much you're cared about until, like, that happens. >> reporter: according to the lawsuit, juul failed to properly assess and warn about the harm that its products cause to the human lungs and body, adding the e-cigarette brand falsely advertises its e-cigarettes system as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes and knew or should have known the potential dangers of its products. >> what the risks are to adolescent brains and sucking

down nicotine, what the risk is to conner evans' lungs long term is yet to be told. >> reporter: while the cdc and fda are currently investigating the growing list of severe lung injuries reported, so far they've not tied them to a specific brand, substance or product. evans says he was 19 when he began vaping and never smoked cigarettes or any other product. >> i wish i never took the hit at the college party because that's what all started it. i wish i would have never done it. >> reporter: we reached out about the lawsuit to juul. they had no comment. earlier this month several school districts filed lawsuits against juul and just last week, the company was hit by a wrongful death lawsuit by a teen who died in his sleep from breathing complications that they say was a result of vaping. >> thanks so much, linsey. >> thank you. and now to the nba cracking down on bad behavior. not by the players but by fans this comes after several high-profile incidents of fans berating the players and the

league is adopting a zero-tolerance policy. t.j. holmes is here with more. good morning to you. >> you know this, trash-talking, heckling, it's a part of sports but fan ejections in the nba doubled last season and players have complained that things have gotten nastier so now with this new policy, you can still tell an opposing player he has an lyumshot or that he's no good, he's trash, but you can't talk about his momma. the nba season tips off tonight and the match-up already making headne fans versus players. the league is enacting a zero-tolerance policy for vulgar and offensive behavior putting fans seated closest to the game, player tunnels and team benches on notice that anything that crosses the line will get you kicked out. nba stars complained in the off-season that fan behavior was getting worse. superstar russell westbrook got into this heated exchange with a fan in utah last season. >> young man in the stands told me to get on my knees like i used to.

>> reporter: the fan denied the allegation. >> he's got to be a professional. i thought it was ice. i told him, sit down and ice your knees, bro. >> reporter: demarcus cousins in an interview with yahoo! sports claims fans have yelled racial slurs at him. >> i've been called [ bleep ]. >> is that right? >> yeah, and it's crazy because like it's happened to me on a few occasions. we push this league. so i don't understand when does our safety and our, you know, when does it become important? >> the proximity of the fans to the athletes is closer in the nba than any other sport and because of that, you see some fans go across the line. they're right on top of them and i think some of these fans get carried away and think they're part of the action. >> reporter: the nba is now updating its fan code of conduct to include any sexist language or lgbtq language, any denigrating language in that way, anything that is nonbasketball related. so you get the idea there. you can talk bad about them all

they want but it needs to be related to on the court. overwhelmingly fans behave but enough that the players stepped up and said there is a different tone that they're noticing and a nastiness that wasn't there in years past and now doing something about it. >> what other job can you have somebody screaming the nastiest things at you. i thought about doing it to you during that. a little distracting. >> they don't have recourse. imagine if a player responded in kind, right? >> yeah. all right, t.j. stick around for this because it's game one of the world series tonight. tonight, the houston astros taking on the washington nationals. astros set to be the biggest favorite in more than ten years but the country, come on, the underdog, the nats, it's washington's first trip to the world stage in franchise history. and don't forget, they've got the power of baby shark behind them. their unofficial theme song that has really been working for them. i'm just saying. >> okay. i'm from houston. i'm just saying. [ laughter ] >> well done. well played.

coming up here, cameron douglas, the son of michael douglas, goes one-on-one with the diane sawyer in his first television interview with his father, talking about his struggle with addiction and his years in federal prison only on "gma" this morning. and we have more on that "star wars" trailer. that's coming up but first back to ginger. >> it was not just dallas that had tornadoes. we've had 11 reported tornadoes in the last 36 hours, some of which were around memphis, tennessee, so you can see that damage. the power poles right into cars, the walls ripped from these buildings. so this same cold front is now moving east. the associated low is going to bring really high winds from minnesota and iowa right through wisconsin. but talk about damaging wind potential from norfolk right through eastern north carolina so, if you're in greensboro or newburn or fayetteville, you're all included. the tuesday trivia sponsored by subaru.

lives and how they lived and we think it insulates you from the anguish of a child you feel you are losing to drugs. and michael douglas is coming forward with his son this morning. i think it's very brave because just in case there are other families out there living their terror too. cameron douglas is now 40. he spent seven years behind bars including in maximum security and nearly two years in solitary confinement. >> do i have this right, when you were 13 you were smoking pot. when you were 15 you were snorting cocaine. when you were 17, you had sampled crystal meth. 19, liquid cocaine. 26, heroin. how close were you to dying? >> probably pretty close. >> you said, i was playing a ga. a kind of miracle you're okay? >> i like the sound of that word. it sounds good. we'll see if i can turn it into that.

i think that remains to be seen. >> reporter: as cameron douglas talks, it's hard not to be distracted. look at the faces of the three generations. that dynasty of douglas men. >> my father. >> my father. >> my father. >> reporter: the family's signature, a kind of tough glamour. >> greed for the lack of a better word, is good. >> reporter: his father a powerhouse producer, hit-making actor. his little boy watching him at awards shows from homend hoping to live up to the family name. >> michael douglas. >> you said, i wanted to impress him. i wanted him to be my friend. i revered him. >> and good night, cameron. i love you. [ applause ] >> reporter: michael douglas was 34 when his first child was born. >> cute tushie. >> it is a cute tushie. >> same tush.

>> even better. >> cam. >> cam. >> reporter: so how did it happen? a little boy changed so much becoming the teenager caught up in a rough and druggie crowd. >> do you look back and say, the one thing i think maybe i could have tried was? >> you know, i'm just laughing because you rack your brain. you know, you take it personally and in the beginning you start blaming yourself. then you look at your genetic makeup. my career was first. >> that's your choice. that has nothing to do with me. >> my career came before my family. my marriage was not great and so you do hide yourself in your work. i should have, you know, focused more on my family, but that's hard to say when you're in the midst of a career, when you are

in your own mind stepping out of your father's shadow trying to create a life for your own. >> reporter: in a family rescue mission, grandfather and father invite cameron who has a gift for acting to co-star in a movie with them as long as he goes to rehab first. the movie is called "it runs in the family." >> look at that thing. >> that's a big one. >> you knew you were good in it? >> yes. yeah. >> reporter: in his book he writes that sometimes there's just a crack deep inside you, the one you try to fill with drugs and then the drugs take over as you recede from the safety of any shore. >> i thought that i was fundamentally not put together properly and that since that was the case, i was just going to take it as far as i could take it and come what may.

it was almost like, you know, the one thing that i could count on, you know. and i guess, you know, i didn't have the courage to try to move forward without it. >> reporter: so look again at his double life, smiling with his family and retreating into his own apartment where he is playing dice with death. a friend had shown him a new way to use cocaine, inject it as a liquid into his veins. >> your blood brings it up into your tongue and you can taste it. people call it a bell ringer because you literally hear bells ringing in your head. >> reporter: he's using two to three times an hour. the needles scar his veins. they're collapsing, first in his arms then in his legs. at one point you do your rib cage. >> my rib cage, my neck. >> you shot cocaine into your neck? >> yes.

>> reporter: his famous father we watch and think must be living a trouble-free life but, in reality, michael douglas is despairing and searching for his child just like so many other parents across the country. >> trying to figure out what to do. what to do, what to do. >> it's like having jekyll and hyde -- >> trying to save his life. i've never seen him as bad -- >> i don't know what else to do. he is missing in action right now. >> reporter: at one point, a frantic michael douglas even hires two men in effect to kidnap him and take him to rehab. cameron gets so aggressive, the mission is called off. >> i think everything made me angry because i was so angry at myself. >> he was desperate. >> desperate. >> beside himself. do you stop talking to him? >> i think we stopped talking for quite a while after that. >> reporter: so michael douglas makes a decision, he manages to reach his son on the phone to

say, i love you, you're my son. i can't do this anymore because i think you're going to die. >> you're going to kill somebody or you were going to get killed. it had reached a point where i thought i was going to lose him based on everything i had seen, and was not willing to emotionally commit anymore. >> and you said don't you love me anymore, dad? >> those words were heartbreaking to me. >> at what point do you protect yourself or your other loved ones around you before you get dragged into this and it falls apart? it destroys you. it just destroys you.

>> and you're going to hear about prison, seven years in prison, and the proof that you never know when your prayers are going to be answered. >> and how they're going to be answered. >> in a very unusual way. that's right. you'll hear about it. i think of this -- i said to them is this a love story but where you hold on for dear life in the middle? and it really is a family love story. it is so powerful. >> and hopefully it's going to help some other families too. >> that's why they're doing it, because of all the families around the country going through this too. >> that's right.

[ applause ] >> hi. nice to meet you. >> mwah. >> mwah. good to see you. >> oh, gosh. >> yes. my gosh.

>> welcome to the show. >> yes. yes. [ applause ] >> you know, before we get started you're always busy with a lot of great projects like this film but dealing with something that a lot of parents can relate to. when your kid is off at college and you posted on instagram you have an interesting way of coping now that your daughter is at school and what are you doing? >> what are you doing? >> i'm just having a little sniff of one of her socks while she's away. >> of course. >> the socks. >> actually i did that mainly to embarrass her. if you leave home i'm going through your underwear drawer huffing and smelling your underpants and your socks. [ laughter ] i'm not really. i just did it. >> you have a great relationship. >> yes. >> does she check in with you? >> never again. >> does she check in with you and does she keep you in check.

>> oh, yeah, i'm terrified of her. what do you mean? absolutely. yeah. i was on a talk show the other night. how do you feel about wrapping "hamilton." she would never speak to me again. it would be over so i try to behave myself as much as i possibly can. >> it's a good thing? we'll keep it safe and talk about the new movie. what an amazing story. it's based on something that was really happening in the '60s and '70s, my jeer an families farming out their kids to white british citizens. tell us more. >> i think a lot of people in the uk didn't know about this at the time. it's great to be telling the story. i guess there was nigerian families would give their children to these sort of white working class families slightly outside of london thinking they would have a better chance at -- and actually it was not very tolerant areas that they were sending these children to who most of the time they were the only black people anyone had seen in that area and so my character is actually the writer and director -- it's his real

life story so i'm playing his foster mother so i had eight or nine little kids, little nigerian kids and he was the main one that the story focuses on and got into hating himself and his color and feeling just awful and then ended up joining this racist gang and becoming the leader of it and so insane that you kind of can't believe this happened and has just become the most educated evolved fantastic human ever. so the story is hard. it's a really difficult story but it's a true story and it does have this wonderful redempsre redemptive. >> this is the clip of when he is running into trouble. >> he is promising a student he's done well in his tests -- >> he can handle himself. >> i know what it feels like to hate what you are. i know that feeling and if we

don't do something to help him it will be a tragic waste. >> i can take care of me own kids. find some other charity case. >> ooh. your character has a tough side but we know behind the scenes you were being very motherly -- >> with nine children. my worst nightmare. [ laughter ] yeah, exactly. imagine how that could be and it wasn't, it was lovely. they were all just heaven but they only ever met me like that so i had quite physically, you know, differences from the character so i had these sort of pretend boobs made of leaptles and big bottom piece and wig and eye bags so only knew me like that. when they finished the movie they had absolutely no idea who i was. >> that is the most gentle way i've ever had it put. bottom piece. [ laughter ] i love it. and we want to thank you. this is like you said resonating

[ applause ] >> back here on "gma," as you

can see, we are surrounded by amazing images from national geographic magazine. this morning and if you're noticing, they are all photos of women. national geographic has compiled hundreds of images that celebrate, celebrate the lives of women over the last 130 years and put them in a beautiful new book called "women: the national geographic image collection," and susan goldberg, the editor in chief of national geographic is here to talk all about it. [ applause ] lovely to see you. thank you for this. it is stunning. it is absolutely stunning. why now? >> why now? we're having a moment of female empowerment around the globe with women demanding and getting their rights. everywhere you look and we're on about the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote right here in the united states so it seemed like the perfect time to really look at how women have been depicted over the last three centuries. >> it's wonderful how you just -- when you look at it, susan, the narrative arc when

you see where women are then, where we were then, where we are now. let's start from 100 years ago. pictures, how they were depicted. >> you start out with women depicted in such traditional roles, women with babies and, you know, taking care of children. you know, then we have a long period where women are beautiful objects, just gorgeous, you know, displays of themselves, just beautiful like this picture from the 1930s. >> that continues in the '40s and '50s like that that we were on display so to speak. >> especially in the '40s and '50s, long period of smiley pictures of women almost used as props showing off objects or -- >> what is she showing off. >> i believe that's a trout. don't you go fishing like that. exactly. you know, but then as we move into the '60s and especially into the '70s, we start seeing images that look a lot more like real life. there is a beautiful picture

from the early '70s of vermont of this woman sitting on this porch looking very pensive, maybe she's just looking for her kids or she's just come out of the kitchen, but it's a very much more real image. >> yeah, real life images in that period. >> well, it did get real and then it gets even more real. we start getting real emotion in images. we're seeing pictures of rage, there's a very frightening picture really out of jerusalem from the early 1980s, you know, so real emotions and also seeing women doing things that before only men had been seen doing like working, we have an image out of india of these brick haulers, so this is taken in about 2000 and a beautiful image from kenya from one of the only female gamekeepers. so we've got women doing all of these things and what's changed is not only are women doing is taking the pictures?lso who

>> they're now taking the pictures. you have an illustration of that and you also bring in women currently of today. >> oh, absolutely. and we have a lot more women photographers and i think it's fair to say that women and men often view the world through different lenses and so female photographers might see the world differently. we have a wonderful picture of women getting educated. this is from 2017. it's spellman college. you can see -- >> the joy. >> the gorgeous young woman with her aunt and mom on graduation day. >> you can see the pride too. >> such a happy, happy, wonderful picture. and i also love that women are now even being pictured as warriors, as the warriors we know that women really are. but now we're seeing that. we've got this amazing picture. this is corporal gabrielle green in the marines and you can see she's training for deployment. she is prey much slung a 200-pound man over her shoulder walking up a steep ramp and that tattoo says the fire inside me

burns brighter than the fire around me. >> oh, wow. >> which is an amazing message. >> a woman photographer as well who took that picture. >> absolutely. this is linsey adairio who is one of our combat photographers. one of the best in the world. [ applause ] >> and the magazine itself is going to have on the cover -- >> absolutely. we are so excited about the november issue of our magazine. it is the first in our 131-year history that is all written and photographed by women contributors. >> oh, my goodness. >> first time ever. [ applause ] >> that's beautiful. you also in the book, you talk to so many incredible women, all walks of life, politicians, athletes, celebrities. was there a common thread through them all and advice you give to young women here. >> yeah, well, the first thing i noticed made me sad because here you had as you say some of the most amazing women in the world and so many of them talked about

the lack of confidence that they had suffered themselves or that they see other women really working on. when i talked to oprah winfrey she called the disease that so many women are afflicted with. nancy pelosi said she didn't think women could reach their full potential without feeling that self-confidence. even jennifer dudna, a breakthrough scientist and amazing woman talked about how she didn't think she had what it took to really do great science. so that was -- i thought that was a little bit sobering. on the other hand what i loved was the advice that these women were giving to younger women. >> what's that. >> it was empowering, it was go be yourself. melinda gates said fitting in is overrated. nancy pelosi said, know your power. i mean, alex morgan said don't be discouraged on your journey. it was all about knowing who you were, going for your ambition and just living your own life. >> we can all hear that.

her and she blames herself for that and i just thought as a mom myself, my goodness, you think about that when you lose someone, what were my last moments like and gloria who lost her daughter danielle in our first episode still replays that moment every single day of her life. >> i'll bet she does. also a new podcast. >> i do. i do. >> called have you seen this man? what an idea about a death row inmate -- >> 40 years and just they allowed him to go christmas shopping one day with a group of other inmates and he never came back. and he never came back. and the work that's been done by matthew moss, the abc investigative unit, the u.s. marshal service, it has just been incredible. we have folks that have been looking for lester eubanks for over 40 years and we know that he's still alive? they know that. >> we know it because his family has been interviewed by the marshal service. they speak to him in the present tense. we know he's been back to ohio.
