on this tuesday morning. and we are excited, excited to see that "jeopardy" showdown. >> the g.o.a.t. tournament, the greatest of all time. three best players in "jeopardy" history will face off with a million dollars on the line. >> still smiling now. >> i would too. >> more on that coming up. first the breaking news for our viewers in the west. house democrats unveiled two articles of impeachment against president trump, abuse of power and obstruction of congress driving to a vote by christmas. cecilia vega is tracking all the latest. >> reporter: you said it, george. just moments ago democrats in washington calling this a solemn day. they say president trump abused his power and that he continues to put this country's security at risk. meantime, president trump here at the white house is calling this shear political madness. just moments ago house democrats taking a major step in the impeachment inquiry. >> in service to our duty to the constitution and to our country,

the house committee on the judiciary is introducing two articles of impeachment charging the president of the united states, donald j. trump, with committing high crimes and misdemeanors. >> reporter: those articles of impeachment charge president trump with two offense, the first abuse of power. >> it's an impeachable offense for the president to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring or injuring the national interests. that is exactly what president trump did when he solicited and pressured ukraine to interfere in our 2020 presidential election. >> reporter: the second charge obstructing congress. >> we see a familiar pattern in president trump's misconduct. a president who declares himself above accountability, above the american people and above

congress' power of impeachment which is meant to protect against threats to our democratic institutions is a president who sees himself as above the law. >> reporter: adam schiff also addressing criticism from republicans who argue democrats are rushing the process. >> why don't you just wait, that argument amounts to this, why don't you let him cheat in one more election? why not let him cheat just one more time? why not let him have foreign help just one more time? that is what that argument amounts to. >> reporter: the move sets the stage for the house judiciary committee to publicly take up the articles for debate and approval as soon as thursday. so here is the timeline coming up now that democrats have announced the articles this morning. they're expected to take them up for a vote as soon as thursday of this week, definitely ahead of the christmas recess. then this heads to the senate

for a trial. that's likely to take place in january. that's where the president hopes he can get a fair trial where his party has power. robin? >> cecelia, thank you. the president is also the origins of the watchdog report in the russian investigation. pierre? >> reporter: no evidence of a political coup against president trump, the fbi director sitting down with us responding to it all. the justice department inspector general revealing the fbi had enough evidence pointing to either a federal crime or threat to national security or both to justify launching the russia probe at the height of the presidential election in 2016. the launch apparently not influenced by political bias. this despite years of the

president and his allies calling the investigation a witch-hunt. >> it was illegal spying. an attempted coup. president obama had to know about it. >> reporter: on a more narrow front the inspector general also issued this damning assessment found officials made serious errors and articles of impeachment and omissions to monitor the communications of a trump campaign associate, carter page. adding agents failed to meet the basic obligation to ensure the applications were scrupulously accurate. agents did not tell doj attorneys about information that may have weakened their case for surveillance. in an exclusive interview with abc news, fbi director christopher wray saying extensive reforms are under way to address the i.g.'s concerns. >> there are actions described in this report that i consider unacceptable and unrepresentative of who we are. >> reporter: but the president pounced. >> this was an overthrow of government. this was an attempted overthrow and a lot of people were in on it. >> reporter: this morning the attorney general william barr in

a blistering statement publicly challenging the report's findings writing, the justice department began an intrusive investigation of a u.s. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that were insufficient to justify the steps taken. barr's position likely to please the president's allies who believe he has been the victim of the so-called deep state. charges rejected by the fbi director. >> based on the findings in the inspector general report is the fbi -- was it part of some deep state? >> i think that's the kind of label that is a disservice to the 37,000 men and women who work at the fbi. that's not a term i would ever use. >> so the fbi did not spy on the trump campaign? >> well, that's not a term at the fbi we use to describe our work. >> do you have any evidence that the fbi targeted the trump campaign unfairly? >> i don't. >> reporter: wray says he respects barr, but the two men have a different point of view on the launch of the probe and wray warned the russians had not only aggressively attacked the

2016 election, they're still at it. the biggest threat to the 2020 election. >> pierre, thanks very much. let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. we showed president trump in pierre's piece. he called this a coup, illegal spying and said president obama knew. all completely debunked by the inspector general's report. >> four times the inspector general in the report asked the question, was this motivated based on politics? and the answer again and again was no. on everything from the start of the investigation to the use of undercover sources to even the applications for the fisa warrants. none of it, the inspector general found, was based on politics. but there were serious mistakes made with regard to the fisa application. but it's important to separate out the two, right? you've got the beginning of the investigation which is the most important question which is they're investigating someone associated with the trump campaign. and on that one, the ig is saying it was valid for them based on what they had and the low standard that existed to begin the investigation. it was part two which was the fisa application of carter page who no longer worked on the

campaign that they were much more critical of. dan abrams thank you very much. michael? >> thank you, we go overseas to that deadly volcano eruption in new zealand. this morning we now know nine americans were there during the explosion that killed at least six people. some are still unaccounted for. marcus moore is there starting us off with the latest. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: michael, good morning. in the time that we have been on the ground here in new zealand, we have watched steam rising from the volcano. more than a day after it erupted. officials here say there's a 50% chance there could be another eruption as the death toll climbs higher. new video showing the moments after that deadly eruption. you can hear panicked tourists watching in disbelief. nature's fury in full view. >> to those who have lost or are missing family and friends, we share in your unfathomable grief

at this moment in time and your sorrow. >> reporter: 47 people including 9 americans were on the volcano when it erupted. ash soaring 12,000 feet into the air. this morning six confirmed dead while 30 remain in the hospital. a majority suffering burns over 30% of their bodies. and officials warn that some could still lose their lives. >> it's important not to underestimate the gravity of the injuries suffered. it is possible that not all of the patients will survive but at this stage everybody is receiving the care that they require. >> reporter: according to officials americans are among the eight still missing on the island. but police say a flyover monday showed, quote, no signs of life. >> they spent about 45 minutes and provided a pretty good indication that we do not believe anybody else has survived that explosion. >> reporter: matthew and lauren urey newlyweds from virginia were on their honeymoon visiting

the island when it erupted. matthew's mother sharing the voice mail he left after the eruption with "inside edition." >> this isn't a joke. the volcano actually erupted while we were on the island. lauren and i got pretty badly burned so we're in a hospital in new zealand. my hands are burned so i can't use my phone. >> reporter: this image taken from a web cam shows a group of people inside the volcano taken minutes before the explosions. some of the tourists trapped on the island were passengers on of "ovation of the seas." it is still docked at a nearby port. michael schade shooting this video. he and his family had just left the island 20 minutes before it erupted. he shows a helicopter smothered in ash. another in a tour boat and turned it around to begin the rescue. >> we started to treat people the best we could but everybody was horrifically burned. >> we had 23 on the boat that we had and five of those are now

deceased. >> rescue helicopters combing the island lifting some of the injured back to shore for treatment. >> there remains significant uncertainty about any future activity. >> reporter: so far first responders have not been able to return to comb the rocky moonlight terrain by foot. the island deemed too dangerous. and the family that owns the island has said that they are absolutely heartbroken by what's happened here and sent their condolences to the affected families. but, robin, officials still have not been able to go and do a thorough search of the vol canoe because they say it's still too unstable. >> thanks, marcus. new details now on the sudden death of rapper juice wrld. police saying drug, guns and prescription codeine were all found on the 21-year-old's plane just moments before his medical emergency. alex perez is at chicago midway airport with more. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. this all unfolded at the part of

the airport where private planes land. we now know officials were working from a tip when they met the plane. ♪ i am the better one ♪ i won't let you forget me >> reporter: this morning we're learning more about the night rapper juice wrld died just a short time after his private jet landed at chicago's midway airport. we now know investigators working on a tip had actually met the aircraft to search it for firearms. law enforcement along with the police dog discovering in the luggage six prescription bottles of suspected liquid codeine, three guns and 41 bags of marijuana reportedly weighing 70 pounds. tmz obtaining this image of what they claim is the luggage as investigators searched the plane, the 21-year-old rapper whose real name was jarad higgins began to have a medical emergency -- seizures. >> we have an ambulance inside the atlantic airport. >> reporter: according to tmz the rapper may have ingested

several painkillers in an attempt to hide them from authorities. authorities telling us they administered two doses of narcan a drug that can counter act an overdose before higgins was rushed from the airport to a hospital where he later died. now, authorities say there were no name tags on that luggage and drug charges have not been filed in this case. officials are now conducting further toxicology tests to determine what exactly may have caused the rapper's death. michael? >> all right, thanks so much. now we turn to the tributes pouring in overnight for the man behind the ice bucket challenge. peter frates who lost his battle with als at just 34 years old. will reeve is here and, will, he leaves behind a legacy of courage and inspiration. >> absolutely, michael. there are certain people who change the world in the brief time they have and pete frates is one of them. he died yesterday after a public battle with als and leaves behind a wife, a daughter and a legacy that captivated and inspired millions and redefined

the future for millions more. he was the driving force behind the movement that flooded our social media feeds. pete frates, once a boston college baseball star, at just 27 years old diagnosed with als, becoming an advocate and a hero. >> for a young guy like myself to be diagnosed, hopefully i can use my youth and the networks i'm part of to promote some awareness. >> reporter: galvanizing the ice bucket challenge in 2014 to raise money and awareness for als. >> i'm proud to take the ice bucket challenge. >> reporter: touching everyone from bill gates to oprah to those of us at "gma." >> aaagh! >> reporter: the challenge raising hundreds of millions of dollars to help fight the progressive terminal condition also known as lou gehrig's disease that slowly ravaging physical functions. bringing profound hope for the

future for people like sara olson. she's being treated with one of only two treatments available to als treatments fast-tracked and approved in part because of the ice bucket challenge. >> it's helping, yeah, that's months on my life because of pete i have that chance. >> reporter: frates lived a full life in the years after his diagnosis. marrying his love julie who participated in the ice bucket challenge while pregnant with their daughter lucy. an event the little girl would soon recall with pride. my mommy dumped water on her head when she had a black dress on. i was actually there. >> reporter: pete frates died at 34. his name, his impact and his legacy will live forever. >> tributes to frates have been coming in from everywhere since he died and one that perhaps he and his family would be most proud of, the als association tweeting that pete frates changed the trajectory of als forever and showed people how to live with a fatal disease. i think he showed people how to live, period.

>> he certainly did. >> special person. >> oh, my goodness. >> really, really touching to know that he existed at the same time we did. >> touched so many of us. thank you, will. we are following a lot of other stories this morning including new trouble for the new england patriots. possible spy scandal and what they're saying about it now. golden globes outrage. women shut out of key categories again. the backlash this morning. first over to ginger. >> and, robin, you know this state trooper sliding into cars only happens when you have temperatures near 50 dropping to 17 in less than 24 hours. that was omaha, nebraska, that little light layer of snow making for a major mess. close to des moines, highways closing down because of huge pileups and unfortunately i think with the huge push of arctic air we will see stuff like this happening anywhere from tennessee today into the northeast tomorrow. so please watch this as we pop out this region because this is where we'll see the big impacts. see the green on the map. that's the mild air. see the streamlines bringing in

southerly winds. well, that is going to flip and go from 60 in philadelphia to watch the blue take over all the states. this includes, of course, connecticut and massachusetts too but temperatures will drop to freezing or below that so tomorrow morning you could see issues. also going to have a little fresh snow so if you get an inch of snow on top of this it will be a problem and then i want to bring you to the temperatures because that plunge is serious. coldest air for many people in the northern plains. when you have numbers like this it only takes ten minutes and you can get frostbite. tuesday trivia brought to you by target.

23-17. a lot of love for eli. showed him a lot of respect after the game. >> i'm happy he played well but happy the giants still have the draft position. look at the positive. >> you stayed up for the entire game, didn't you? >> i sure did. >> that's why you look bleary eyed. there you are. now to some people -- what they're calling spygate 2.0. the new england patriots under the microscope again after admitting, they admitted a video crew inappropriately filmed and the field and sidelines during a cincinnati bengals game, the team they play next and the league is investigating and espn's and our good friend ryan smith is here with the latest. good to see you, ryan. >> good to see you. nfl teams routinely scout each other before they play but recording them is a no-no. the potential for stealing signals and plays that could give an unfair advantage. it could land the defending super bowl champs in hot water with the nfl. >> reporter: this morning, the new england patriots once again under investigation by the nfl.

the team facing questions over an incident reminiscent of spygate. the cincinnati bengals, the team with only one win this season questioning whether the six-time super bowl champions videotaped their play calls during a recent game against the cleveland browns. the nfl now in possession of the tapes. cincinnati coach zac taylor allowing the league to do its due diligence. >> i'm aware there was an incident. i know the league is investigating it so, i have no comment. >> reporter: overnight the patriots saying they sent a production team to film behind-the-scenes footage. they got permission from the browns to shoot but did not reach out to the bengals. the patriots taking responsibility saying in that statement, we understand and acknowledge that our video crew which included independent contractors who shot the video unknowingly violated a league policy by filming the field and sideline from the press box. >> that's what they're trying to

communicate, this is not them trying to gain a competitive advantage illegally. it's -- they inadvertently violated a rule in an effort to do something different. >> reporter: bill belichick speaking out in an interview with radio station weei. >> this is something that we 100% have zero involvement with. this is something that you have to talk to the production people about and what they were doing. >> reporter: this latest incident coming five years after patriots quarterback tom brady was suspended for four games due to the deflategate controversy. and more than a decade after the team was embroiled in a cheating scandal that rocked the league. the patriots disciplined during the 2007 season for videotaping the jets' signals from an unauthorized location. >> so far the nfl has not issued any statement on this. obviously they're going to take this seriously. if the patriots are admitting in their statement that they violated a rule even inadvertently, yes, you would have to think the league has to

do at least something. >> the patriots say their failure to notify the bengals and nfl in advance of their films was a, quote, unintended oversight. it's not clear what punishment if any they will face from the nfl, guys. >> look. >> why does it always seem to be the patriots? >> i don't know. you could look at this and say football is one side. this is another side and it's a bit of an oversight. we'll have to see what the video tape shows. >> we had a little discussion. i think it was said you ask for forgiveness instead of permission. >> all right. >> it's not you. >> nothing against you. good to see you, brother. welcome back. now we're going to go to the backlash against the golden globes after they failed to nominate a single woman for best director or best screenplay despite a crowded field of potential nominees. amy is here with more. big story here. >> it certainly is. good morning, guys. the president of the hollywood

year's film "honey boy" tweeting i was on the inside for the first time this year. these are not our people and they do not represent us. do not look for justice in the award system. keep fighting for more women and people of color behind the camera by supporting their films. >> this year was a very big surprise that no women were nominated in the best director category. a lot of these women were considered to be shoo-ins to land nominations so when they didn't, the snub seemed even bigger. >> reporter: "variety" spoke with the president of the hollywood foreign press just after the nominations were announced. >> we don't vote by gender. we vote by film and accomplishment. >> reporter: but it's not the first time women have been left out. two years ago at the golden globes natalie portman called out the lack of female nominees while she was presenting on stage. >> we are honored -- bringing you back to this and this to be here to present the award for best director. >> and here are the all male nominees.

>> reporter: in fact in the show's 77-year history only five women have been nominated for best director. barbra streisand the first and only woman to take home the prize for "yentl" 35 years ago. now there has actually been an overall increase in the hiring of female directors according to dr. stacy smith, the founder of annenberg inclusion initiative. somewhere between 12% and 14% of the top 100 films were directed by women but 0% have been nominated. >> seems like we have this conversation a lot. >> it does seem like we do. coming up, t.j. goes behind the scenes with alex trebek and three of the greatest "jeopardy" players of all time as they prepare to face off. >> what did you say, michael, g.o.a.t.? >> g.o.a.t., greatest of all time. time. t as 6 seconds when you're running late? shhhh.

players in "jeopardy" history are about to go head to head for the first time. >> as we stand here now, who is the greatest? >> i think we all agree it's me. >> reporter: at stake $1 million and the title, greatest of all time. brad rutter, james holzhauer, ken jennings, "jeopardy" legends now coming together for a special prime time event. "jeopardy," greatest of all time. we spent time with the three on the "jeopardy" stage before their big showdown which begins taping today and is set to air in january. >> i think the fans will be very happy to see it settled on this stage instead of arguments on chat boards but there's a lot of luck in the game of "jeopardy." there's going to be a lot of breaks. who gets the daily double? who knows the final jeopardy? it's all going to happen out here. >> reporter: jennings is a fan favorite and has won over $3.3 million on "jeopardy." rutter holds it at 4.6 million and holzhauer is the phenom who won 32 straight games, has

collected $2.7 million in winnings and holds just about every scoring record there is. >> how much did you risk? $38,314. a new one-day record. >> reporter: he makes big aggressive wages but i mean brad and i have seen him play. you know, those are games where he played against newcomers. >> oh. >> people off the street. >> okay. >> it's nice that he can beat up on minor league talent. this is a different arena here. >> this is better trash talk, fellas. >> reporter: the three admit they've studied each other and might have to adjust their playing styles. >> you always got to scout so just like anything else. >> i've looked at tape. brad came in person. we have been scouting james. >> you get that extra bit of information coming alive. >> reporter: the format, first player to win three matches is the champ. and at the center of it all -- alex trebek. >> here is the host of "jeopardy" -- >> reporter: the longtime host

president trump. kevin mccarthy now responding to nancy pelosi, both announcing the u.s.-mexico free trade agreement and the articles of impeachment against president trump. >> they created a timeline to impeach president trump that she said started two and a half years ago. many of you know this timeline because once they took the majority they had to decide who would become chairs of their committee. the impeachment committee or the judiciary, who could win? jerry nadler campaigned on that he would be the very strongest member to lead a potential impeachment. on the day of swearing in, these new freshmen that gave them the majority, a mere few hours after being sworn in, congresswoman tlaib proclaimed, we are going to impeach the mother. you had al green admitting that the democrats have true fears that if they do not impeach president trump that he would win re-election. and now today we watch them introduce two articles of impeachment. they changed the course of

congress to take away due process for any point of where we are. this is a fear that alexander hamilton had, came to fruition in this congress. i just hope no congress ever repeats what we're going through today. they have a lot of members on their side very concerned. from the moment they started impeachment and letting the american public see what they believed and keep changing the term of what they thought was out there, it has been falling in the polls. if you need any more evidence of how unpopular impeachment is, watch the two press conferences today. after announcing impeachment within less than an hour, the speaker finally relented and said she would bring usmca up. she's held it for more than a year making america weaker in our negotiations with china, our number one and number two trader, mexico and canada, was being held up within our own agreement. but those who are vulnerable in this vote for impeachment

continuing to make the argument as the rest of america was too. at no time when she would bring this bill up was there ever fear of it not passing, but the only reason she finally relented is because of the unpopularity of impeachment itself. we watched in a hearing a democrat constitutional scholar that did not vote for president trump say this was the weakest, the thinnest, the fastest impeachment in the history of america. he then went to say if there was abuse, it would be abuse on the democrats to move forward. the speaker must not have listened to that hearing. if the speaker had only waited 48 hours to release the transcript, america would not be put through this nightmare. but the speaker would pause and read the ig report, the

inspector general, to thank in a place of america that we would have a law enforcement agency spy on a presidential campaign in more than 51 instances not hold up to the rule of law or change all the information in evidence to be able to move forward on something they knew or should have known was not true is a sad day for america. but to compound that with the idea just because you created a timeline to impeach a president that you disliked, you ignored facts, we would never be here if they paid attention to the facts or the hearings. this is not a day that america will be proud about. it's not a day that history will write that anybody wants to repeat. alexander hamilton warned us that this day would come, that a majority would use their political power just for

politics even though we all raise our hands to uphold the constitution. i just hope no congress, regardless who's in the majority, will ever take us down this path again. we have such great potential in this nation, but to have wasted a majority on this is an embarrassment to this congress. questions? yes, ma'am. >> does it make it harder to defend the president when his personal attorney is still traveling to ukraine, investigating his campaign rivals and claims he wants to give some sort of presentation about it to congress? >> it does not -- it is not hard to defend this president surely on the facts of what's out there. i think it's hard for the democrats to move forward when they started with a quid pro quo, to bribery, to every other element they go. it's hard for the democrats to continue this when the people they bring forth in their hearings are pretty much donors.

their expert witnesses when it comes to their scholars were donors to presidential campaigns. the idea that they're going to change the course of history, that staff is going to interview staff and they're going to come out with articles of impeachment, what power do members of congress who run to represent their districts have that they take it away? the idea that democrats would control who can ask questions inside a hearing or how the structure would go, that's an embarrassment. so no, it is not difficult to defend this president because this president did nothing that's impeachable. it's hard to defend democrats on how they're running this house and what they're doing inside their majority. that's the difficulty that i have. >> but for giuliani to do what he's doing. >> he's an individual citizen. that's not the question we have before us. it's about impeachment. you've got to understand what impeachment means. impeachment is the removal of the highest elected person in

this land. i don't care if you think americans who support president trump are deplorables, but you do not have the right to disqualify their vote just because you do not like president trump. we are a nation of law, and the idea that they would use their power, they would lie and they would continue to lie just because they dislike this president, they would change the course of history where they would move it from judiciary to the intel committee, they would disallow individuals to even ask questions, they would disallow the president to have due process to ask a question. they would not allow a minority to have witnesses, and they're proud about that? the idea of a vote of impeachment, the only higher vote i think we would have a member of congress is whether we send women or men out to war, but the way they have handled this from the very beginning, i know they set a timeline and

they wanted to keep to their timeline, they never paid attention to the facts so they changed the rules to meet their timeline. they may think it's not important, but it goes to the sheer fact of the country of who we are. one of our greatest strengths is the rule of law. other countries admire us because we believe in the rule of law. we believe in due process. but not in nancy pelosi's house when she becomes speaker. she has weighed and hinged her entire majority on the impeachment of the president. when she selected adam schiff to be the intel chair and kept him there after he lied to the american public that he had proof beyond circumstantial, when we walk down to a nightmare, spent millions of dollars, went to 14 different countries and found that was a lie, you had an inspector general just give you a report yesterday to show that a law

enforcement agency spied on a presidential campaign and when they couldn't get their own facts they changed it to go to a secret court in fisa to try to spy further. they based that all on something that the democratic party spent money on that was a lie to try to discredit somebody running for office. i would have used the majority to clean that up, to go back to the rule of law. i would not use the majority simply for your own political gain, and if you can't meet your timeline, change all the rules that history has ever seen. so no, it is not difficult to defend this president, but it is very difficult to defend this congress on what they have done and history will not be kind to them. >> the defense of president trump from the house republican leader kevin mccarthy saying in his view the president has not committed any impeachable offenses, it's the majority in congress led by house speaker nancy pelosi who's using their

power by pursuing this impeachment and what he says is undoing an american election. i want to bring in melissa murray, constitutional law professor at nyu. one of the arguments you saw there, mostly an attack on the process from house democrats but the number two in the house, steve scalise, saying this is an impeachment where there's no underlying violation of law. that's the standard they're trying to. >> we've seen this idea that there has to be some underlying crime that would be pegged to an impeachable offense. that's not what the framers had in mind. they didn't have a body of statutory criminal law to go with. they were thinking of again the sort of public abuses of public men, the misuse of office. there doesn't have to be a statutory or ordinary criminal law predicate. it just has to be one of these high crimes or misdemeanors pegged to the abuse of office. >> i want to bring in jon karl as well, at the white house. one of those split screen days.

we've had so many of them in washington. both the house democratic leaders and the house republican leaders, even as they're taking opposing views on impeachment touting their agreement on a goal of president trump, the u.s.-mexico-canada trade agreement. >> reporter: it's an extraordinary moment, george. it had been a top priority for the white house, something they had pushed hard for, the president getting a victory here. this was one of the first things he did as president was to say that he wanted to replace the north american free trade agreement. he negotiated a subsequent agreement with canada and with mexico and needed to get it approved. he's been pushing for this for months and literally an hour after the democrats announce they're going forward with articles of impeachment, they have a subsequent press conference with speaker pelosi announcing this agreement on the trade agreement. so quite a day and it's interesting, george, because the president had said earlier this year that if the democrats were

going to go forward with what he called their phony investigations that he was going to refuse to work with them. he actually walked out of a meeting back in may of this year with speaker pelosi at the white house and went out and held a press conference declaring the democrats essentially had a choice to make, either continue to investigate or work with him to get things done substantively. now you have this agreement. clearly both sides of this, the democrats and the republicans, have an incentive to show that they can continue to work for their constituents while the impeachment process goes forward. >> that is what has happened today. we are going to return to our regular programming. that includes "the view" and "good morning america" for many of you. there will be a wrap-up of all this tonightonight

[ applause ] so for how how does it feel to be a part of this moment. >> it feels fantastic. we come from such a racially divided world and so for us to be moving forward in unity and together and to say, look, these are women that have been celebrated in the past and now finally people are starting to see the greatness that is within us and i'm so happy to be a part of this trio because i've been following them for awhile and it was such a beautiful thing to watch. >> you know what, i know that you and south africa, you almost were an anchor for a morning tv show. >> i almost -- yeah. >> that's what you wanted to do. >> this morning show came through and i wanted to try out something new and i was like maybe i could do it and -- >> well, this is your chance to do it right now. i'm going to let you do it. >> am i going to be hired?

[ cheers and applause ] this is good. [ cheers and applause ] this is good. >> we're excited because we are back with two stars from clint eastwood's movie "richard jewell" about the hero security guard who saved hundreds of lives at the atlanta olympic park bombing only to find his life turned upside down when he's wrongly accused of the attack. take a look. >> the bomber used tupperware to hole the nails. that's standard. >> well, what does that have to do with you? and they took my baby-sitting

tapes, my disney movies. >> i think they did that because they wanted to see if we might have recorded something on the tapes like a political statement or something. >> why do you keep defending these people? >> i'm not defending them. i'm just explaining. >> well, stop it! >> whoo! [ applause ] please welcome academy award winner kathy bates and paul walter hauser. [ applause ] >> welcome, you two. you know, this movie, this movie is already getting a lot of oscar buzz. and the national board of review gave you, kathy, the best supporting actress award and, paul, you also won for best breakthrough performance. >> i broke through, i guess.

[ applause ] when you found out you were nominated for the golden globe,

how did you feel about that? >> i felt great. i want the movie to get the attention it deserves because in 1996, this was -- it was 88 days for these people surrounded by the press. and for three days he was a hero and then suddenly he was the suspect. and it was so awful for them and even now people think he's the bomber. >> even though it's been proven. >> even though it's been proven. so this movie, i hope, will rectify that. >> this holds a special place in your heart. >> it does. it is an injustice. wonderful to be in a movie like in that has an opportunity to help his mother bobbi who i play in the film because it's still very upsetting to her that this is, you know, her legacy and we're excited she loves the movie. >> tell us about the moment, paul, when you saw bobbi on the red carpet. >> oh, yeah. that was -- i mean, i've never been like the leader, co-lead of a movie. so it was intense on that carpet and amidst all that craziness and see bobbi jewell, 20, 30

feet and we gave each other a knowing look and both started crying. it was a lot said without being said and, yeah, she and watson bryant that sam rockwell plays said after seeing the film they felt like they had richard back for like two hours so that was -- i mean that's the best -- i don't need an award. i don't need a tomato meter. that's the greatest compliment i'll ever get. >> i tell you what, you nailed it. you even look so much like richard. >> yeah. we look like we're from the same corn fed area. >> yeah. >> that's for sure. >> that beautiful 'stache. love it. i love it. >> for you two when you saw bobbi after seeing the screening and, you know, playing somebody who is still with us, thank goodness, that's a responsibility. >> huge, huge responsibility. we were just beginning to do the red carpet and that's when i heard she loved it and i was like, oh, thank god.

oh, thank god because as i said she's still in so much pain about it and i wanted her to love what i was doing and when i met with her i said, you know, i want to get this right and she said, just be me. >> no big deal. >> just be me. >> you talked about sam, olivia wilde. >> jon hamm. >> what is it like for you -- kathy bates. for you, paul, to be in the cast. >> even our, you know, other supporting cast, nico and dylan, all these people, everyone just showed up like it was the super bowl. no one showed up for a scrimmage. everybody was ready to go and they should have been very intimidating but they were all warm and kind and collaborative. there was no oscar-winning ego and there was no separation. everyone got really close really quick. >> it was a great ensemble. >> you think about the cast and then think about directed by clint eastwood. that's enough to scare you right there. >> that's it. >> we're so happy you joined us. >> they call it the clint fog when he's directing especially

you just kind of -- >> it's how i feel about george stephanopoulos. [ applause ] >> we all feel that way about george, you're right about that. thank you both and all the accolades are well deserved.

chicken and turn it on its head. crispy, japanese inspired chicken cutlet and stays super juicy inside. >> i want to get right into it. do i do this first. >> go for it. >> garlic first. >> then ginger. >> ginger going in. >> we've got right now making a mushroom curry gravy so unlike a regular gravy that might take, you know, many steps, oh, well, all right. whoa, all right. >> here we go. >> so unlike a regular gravy you need to use a roux in order to make, you know, in order to get that thickness and sort of velvety texture you want we're using campbell's cream of mushroom soup instead, extra cream. >> you don't have to waste

any -- >> no, you don't have to do any of that. so i'm now putting in a little curry powder here. we'll get those aromatics super fragrant. everybody will start smelling that in about 30 seconds. >> this is what comes next. >> exactly. >> the cream of mushroom where you save time. >> yeah, yeah. >> no worries. >> he's obviously done this before. >> gravy is what this is all about. raise one hand if you don't like gravy? come on, that guy says -- no, you all like gravy, right? >> i don't believe him. >> gravy. >> yes, so the gravy is the key and the campbell's cream of mushroom soup will add all that velvety texture. tons of flavor and it will come together and whisk it together a little bit then we have our finished gravy here, all right. >> and the finished gravy is not just for the chicken but you also are going to do a potato. >> with mashed potato. i didn't want to mess with the mashed potato. >> i'm pouring that gravy. >> get the gravy all over there. >> looks so good. all right. it smells great. we were talking, kind of a
