husband, father, grandfather and great american. let's look at powell's amazing career. a stateman and soldier. he was the first black secretary of state and the youngest chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he advised four presidents, achieved fame for the victory in the persian gulf. he was a reluctant warrior. always at home with the powerful and the ordinary. >> i'm a reluctant warrior. i've been named that. i've been called dove. guilty. i don't like war. i hate war. been in war. lost friends in war. sent men and women to their death. >> powell grew up in the south bronx. he struggled academically in college but found a home in the rotc. >> found something i liked doing. >> he was married to his wife for four months when he was sent to vietnam where he was wounded twice. the experience shaped his views.

he stressed cooperation overconflict. >> when you take the american people, young men and women, ask them to lay down their lives, they deserve to know why. >> after vietnam he became a white house fellow and then a top aid to president reagan. at the age of 52 he was the youngest ever chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, leading up to the first persian gulf war. >> our strategy is very simple. we're going to cut this army and off kill it. >> the 1991 victory in iraq made powell a household name. his term extended to the clinton administration where he decided against military action in bosnia. >> general powell is an american hero. >> before september 11th he was at odds with others who wanted a

more aye ser tv foreign policy. in 2003 he went to the united states nations. >> there can be no doubt saddam hussein has biological weapons. >> the stockpile was never found. his last public appearance came in this speech in support of joe biden at the 2020 national convention. >> our country needs a commander in chief that takes care of our troops. >> let's bring in martha raddatz. martha, you served with him and covered him as chairman of the joint chiefs, secretary of state. >> it's hard to overstate the respect colin powell had. he was, when traveling around the world with him, it was like traveling with a king. he never acted like one. when i first started covering the pentagon he was the chairman of the joint chiefs.

he was of course there when the u.s. pushed iraqi troops out of kuwait in 1991. that war considered a huge success. watching him after 9/11 was remarkable, how he brought the world together to support the u.s. in its efforts to root out the taliban and go after al qaeda. i travelled with him after the attack on the world trade center to pakistan. the admiration for him was intense. then, of course, in february of 2003 i was standing at the u.n. when his reputation took a huge hit by advocating for the invasion of iraq using what would soon be seen as faulty intelligence and he regretted that til the end. he knew that was a huge blot on his reputation. said his instincts failed him. saying he was truly mad at himself for not realizing the problem with the intelligence.

a remarkable man, a remarkable trailblazer. >> martha, we also saw him in his post career after leaving government service. really speaking out on behalf of america's youth. speaking out against racism. surprisingly became one of the first endorsers of president obama. >> he was. he was very outspoken about that. he had been a life long republican. just couldn't do that anymore. supported the presidency of obama and really supported the nation's youth and what a great example. not only a great example of a trailblazer and the first black chairman of the joint chiefs, first black secretary of state, but to be that example of someone who admitted mistakes, who said i did the wrong thing. i was wrong about that intelligence. it was devastating for me to learn that. what an example for today's

yo someo w p posion,ut lood ant h done rht wt he had done wrong. >> martha raddatz, thanks. >> he was so well respected on both sides of the aisle. can't say that about a lot of people. we'll bring in karen deyoung from the "washington post." you like so many were saddened to hear the news. you spent so much time writing about him. >> he worked with youth, worked with the boys and girls club. he was dedicated to a leadership style. i think in his later years he spent much of his time traveling around, giving speeches. he started a foreign policy institute at cuny in new york where he had gone to college. son of immigrants. believed this was a place that gave an opportunity for higher education for people like him

imanveback. he always wanted to give back. >> you wrote so well about that, karen, about his childhood in the bronx, about his stellar military career. of course secretary of statement what is it that stands out to you the most about general powell? >> you know, again, i think it's what martha said. a very human person. didn't take himself too seriously. he was very proud of his accomplishments, but a very funny man, a very witty man, very much a family man. so i think that he, you know, would like to be remembered not only as someone who was the first black person to do so many things, that was important to him, but i think he also wanted

to be respected for his military career and what he had actually done in the military, for his work as secretary of state, as chairman of the joint chiefs and also for what he gave back. >> he certainly was respected for that. karen, thank you so much. we're thinking of the powell family this morning. t.j.? >> we'll have more on the life and legacy of colin powell. we need to turn to the latest of the mass kidnapping of the american missions in haiti. this involves 16 americans, as well as 5 children. victor oquendo has more. good morning, victor. the fbi and state department now >> reporter: the fbi and state

department now working with senior haitian officials. overnight we heard from christian aid ministries. they're based in ohio. they are requesting urgent prayer for the missionaries and family members who were kidnapped. this morning, the u.s. government in regular contact with senior haitian authorities as new details emerge about the 17 missionaries and family members abducted in haiti. the youngest among them reportedly just 2 years old. ohio-based christian aid ministries confirming that the 16 americans and 1 canadian, including 5 children, were all on their way back from visiting an orphanage on saturday when they were kidnapped. the haitian government saying they suspect one of the country's most dangerous gangs known as 400 mawozo is responsible for the kidnapping, but no demands have been made thus far. the same gang is believed to have kidnapped french priests and nuns in april. the group was eventually released, but it's unclear if the $1 million ransom was paid. >> these are hostage takings that are for ransom. they're for money. the gangs have become much more violent, much stronger over the last year or two. >> reporter: this morning, we're hearing from a man from georgia who was kidnapped by a gang in haiti last year. >> they had guns pointed at us. they were threatening that they were going to kill us throughout the entire two days. >> reporter: overnight, christian aid ministries putting out a statement saying, we

request urgent prayer for the group. we are seeking god's direction for a resolution, and authorities are seeking ways to help. according to the center of analysis and research and human rights, during the first six months of this year, there were at least 395 kidnappings in haiti, compared with 88 during the same period last year. the surge in kidnappings amidst turmoil there. the assassination of the haitian president in july leaving a political vacuum in government. and the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in august which killed 2,200 and left tens of thousands of haitians homeless, contributing to a rise in gang violence now plaguing the country. by some estimates, gangs now control roughly half of the capital city of port-au-prince.. the state department saying that

the welfare and safety of u.s. citizens abroad is one of its highest priorities. overnight, a member of the foreign affairs committee representative adam kinzinger urging the u.s. to ensure the safety of the missionaries. >> we need to see if negotiations without paying ransom are possible, or do whatever we have to on a military front or police front. >> reporter: this kidnapping happened just a day after the united nations security council decided to extend its mission there by nine months. with a country in such turmoil, many haitians have been calling on the u.s. to send in troops to help stabilize the situation. we want to turn to the coronavirus emergency, of course a public health care crisis, but could turn into a public safety crisis in nearly half of that city's police officers could be placed on unpaid leave as early as today for refusing to disclose their vaccine status. alex perez there with the very latest for us. alex, good morning. >> reporter: this morning the face off between the chicago police union and mayor lori light foot at a bitter

stalemate. the union defying the mayor's vaccine mandate requiring all city workers to report their vaccination status or face disciplinary action. in a memo obtained by our station wls, a superintendent says that officers will be given a direct order to submit their vaccination status and if not, a warning that they could be fired. union officials say as many as half the city's force could be unvaccinated. >> this notion that individual 'r not having that.insubordinate >> reporter: the police union president after repeatedly publicly telling officers to resist the mayor's mandate now ordered by a judge to stop publicly encouraging officers to disobey. >> roughly 38% of the sworn officers on this job, almost 40% can lock in a pension and walk away today. >> reporter: now there are concerns the standoff will lead to a police staffing shortage in a city battling to curb violence. in california where governor newsom issued a vaccine mandate for children in schools that

will likely not go into effect until 2022, some parents are planning to keep their kids home today in protest. >> we want them to know that we are serious about not being forced to vaccinate our children. >> reporter: all this as newly released numbers from the cdc show back in august, the unvaccinated were 11 times more likely to die from covid during the delta surge than those who were vaccinated. here in chicago, it remains unclear just how many officers have failed to comply with that vaccine mandate. the city and the police union are due back in court next week. george? >> okay, alex. thank you. we go overseas now to a chinese missile test which shows a hypersonic missile. james longman is tracking the story from london. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. this demonstrates a huge step forward in china's military capability, and it's understood that u.s. intelligence had no idea that china had moved this far ahead. now all of this is according to britain's "financial times"

newspaper. they say china launched a nuclear capable hypersonic missile that launched to space, circled the earth before cruising towards its target. this hasn't been independently confirmed by abc news. the u.s. and russia are trying to debt this capability, but they're way behind. this missile landed 25 miles from its target. seems like it's just a matter of time before they have this advantage over united states. guys. can we get to the wnba finals right now? oh, what a classic. came down to the sky and the phoenix mercury, and sunday's game was a nail-biter. the sky, they were down at the top of the fourth. turned it around in the last two minutes. candace, that big three right there. she was just so overcome with emotion the moment her team wins the championship for the first time in franchise history. she left l.a. after more than a decade to come home for this right here, and this is what she

we are back now with we are back now with gege's exclusive with christopher steele, the former british spy behind the steele dozier. george, many have been waiting to hear from this man. we haven't heard from him native interview since the dossier was released. >> he's been in the shadows for five years. it's been five years since that dossier exploded onto the scene, and he became an infamous and famous private spy. he had been hired by people from the clinton campain to look at the connections between donald trump and russia. with raw intelligence it was damning salacious information,

that was not all proven, and i pressed him on those. >> how do you respond to critics who say you're doing foreign interference in an american political campaign? >> the interference was by the russian kremlin. >> you're british, not american. >> britain is america's closest ally. we have had a track record of helping america. it would have been curious if what we had chosen to do in 2016 was to not tell them. it would have been unthinkable. >> fusion gps is a corporate investigations firm created by two former reporters for "the wall street journal." one was glenn simpson. >> in the spring of 2016, he approached you with a job. what exactly did he ask you to look into? >> two things really. one was what the russians were doing in terms of potential interference in the campaign, and two, what the links were between the trump campaign and russia. >> you get this assignment. what do you do? >> you essentially get your network of sources to redirect themselves onto asking contacts

in russia about this issue. task them to look into what was being said amongst the elite in russia and the government of the american election. >> was there one key source you had for this report? >> there wasn't one key source i would say. there was perhaps one key collector. >> what's a collector? >> the collector is somebody who obviously works for us directly, paid through us directly, and doesn't have direct access to information, but knows people who do. >> you can't name this person, but you met with this person in a european city relatively early on? >> yep. >> what did you learn in that meeting? >> the contents of the report i think it was, that were well known to the world. >> there were claims that members of the trump campaign had coordinated with russian officials and accepted a steady stream of information on hillary clinton and some of trump's other political rivals. >> the first report also claims, quote, trump's unorthodox

behavior in russia over the years had provided the authorities there with enough embarrassing material on him to be able to blackmail him if they so wished. >> in other words, that the fsb, the russian security service had content on donald trump. >> basically kompromat is blackmail in russian. >> this was the -- for want a better word this is the pee tape. >> yes. >> what did he tell you? >> he relayed several sources of information that related to that event. >> in the ritz carlton hotel? >> yes. >> in 2013? >> yep. >> it would be quite a tape if it, in fact, existed. >> we are coming on the air with major news from the department of justice. >> move aside. >> the acting attorney general rod rosenstein has appointed a

special council to look into the russian interference in the 2016 election. the special counsel will be robert mueller. >> christopher steele and his work were conspicuous in their i that was done by robert mueller, a separate report was undertaken by michael horowitz, the inspector general of the justice department. >> the inspector general also pulled back the curtain on how steele had gathered his information. it doesn't name steele's collector, but the report does describe some of his methods, and we'd later learn he was not someone well placed in the kremlin, but an analyst in washington. >> the fbi sought this person out and interviewed him. he said, yeah, he basically gathered some of this information, but he was almost

ambivalent about how accurate the information was. >> some of this information including that allegation about the salacious tape had apparently been gathered from people who had just heard about it or talked about it in jest. >> one of your main collectors spoke to the inspector general said that especially the kompromat was word of mouth and heers,wasust >> if you have a confidential source, and that cover is blown, that confidential source will often take fright and down play and underestimate what they said and have done. i think that's probably what happened here. >> and today, do you still believe that that tape exists? >> i think it probably does, but i wouldn't put 100% certainty on it. >> so you stand by the dossier? >> i stand by the work we did, the sources that we had, and the professionalism which we applied to it. >> what he can't explain is why the tape has not come out yet. his answer is that the russians haven't needed to do it because they got everything they wanted

out of president trump, but that's been the heart of this -- of the criticism against chris steele that he's talked about this tape, he put it in there, but it has not come out. >> we can start seeing it on hulu today. >> today. >> the full episode. >> "out of the shadows." >> thank you, george. stay with us here.

individual to tailor it as he or she sees fit, also depending on where they are in the country, but let's go through these basic guidelines here from the cdc. first of all, again, coming down on whether you're vaccinated or unvaccinated, saying that celebrating virtually is, in fact, the safest also with people that you already live with. of course, outside, and with that six feet of distance. again, even if vaccinated, they're recommending that you do wear a mask indoors in areas of high transmission which is of course, a large part of the country. if unvaccinated, wearing masks inside, get vaccinated as quickly as possible, and suggesting that you delay travel until you are fully vaccinated. >> and jen, of course, you take care of patients and you have college-aged kids. what do you recommend? >> listen, this is where common sense really rule it is day. if you can, do what's called a soft quarantine. if you know you're going to be gathering, maybe lay low a little bit for a week or so before you go. get tested one to three days

before, and then on the back end, also, lay low, and get tested three to five days after just in case you get one of those breakthrough infections, and you're not exposing others. this is where you want to think of those around you as much as you think of yourself. >> there are fears of another covid surge this holiday season. >> no one has a crystal ball. so many people want to read into the tea leaves and say this fourth surge was the worst and it's now behind us, but i think now we are finally in a situation where we can say we now know how to live with this virus. yes, there will be ups and downs and it's not going to be like a light switch or a line in the sand where we're finished with it, and just have that resilience and expect that there will be ups and downs. right now, we're on the downswing. that's good news. >> jen ashton, thanks very much. >> you bet. now the plan to finally get safe drinking water to one michigan town. the governor ordering all lead pipes to be replaced in benton harbor which has been plagued by lead in its water for years. zachary kiesch is live there for

us. they're going to replace these, but it's not going to happen overnight. >> reporter: t.j., good morning to you. it's not going to happen overnight. this is going to take at least a year and a half, but the issues have existed for at least three years, and probably longer. you can understand why there's trust issues here in benton harbor. in many ways it's a kind of place that bridges the gap between policy and the people. president biden's infrastructure bill, which is now in the hands of congress, would replace lead piping issues across the country. this morning, governor gretchen whitmer's 18-month plan to address benton harbor's water crisis can't happen fast enoughment distribution sites like these are a big draw to residents who have been waiting years for help. >> it's been at least 36 months that the issue has persisted. could you have done more? >> you know, the biggest room, is the room for improvement >> reporter: the problem won't be easy or cheap to fix. thousands of pipes that run in and out of people's homes need to be replaced. what can you do with the water around here? >> nothing but pay your water

bill. >> it was sizzling, sounding like alka-seltzer. >> you can't drink it, bathe with it or brush your teeth with it. yet the state only got involved after reverend edward pinckney and a coalition of other leaders filed an emergency petition to the epa. >> biden's infrastructure bill includes the money to replace all of our nation's lead pipes. >> reporter: this doctor recently testified in front of congress about the devastating impacts of high lead levels. >> if we actually eliminated lead in the environment, dug up those pipes, cleaned up those old homes, we would actually save our nation $80 billion a year in societal savings. >> reporter: pediatricians say exposure to lead in young people is absolutely devastating. that's why at a number of these distribution sites you'll see them not only handing out water, but also pre-mixed baby formula. robin? >> zachary, we appreciate it. now to the milestone in women's college basketball.

the university of south carolina giving head basketball coach dawn staley a new contract worth $22 million. dawn joins us now from columbia, south carolina, to talk about what it means for her and the future of women's sports. it is so good to see you, dawn, and congratulations. this is historic on so many different levels. just let people know what this means to you. >> i think it's a huge day, obviously for me, but i think it goes to -- to -- to women's basketball. it's a great day for gender equity with our country, our women's basketball, being in the spotlight for the gender inequities during our final four. i think this is a step in the right direction. i think this is the university

and the athletics department stepping up and being leaders in this area and hopefully this is just a steppingstone to what the rest of the country can look like. >> and that's what you want it to be. sport is a microcosm of society, and i've known you since you played at the university of virginia, and your olympic career and just everything, and you had -- you had a rubber band around your wrist that you would pop like mo cheeks. you're a big sixers fan. when you did a turnover or something. i know people often say it's not just about the money. it truly isn't. it is truly about more than that, isn't it, dawn? >> i mean, the money is the thing that pulls people in. you see a coach, a women's basketball coach make $22 million, people look at that, and it's the number that pulls people in, but if you really

look at why i -- i fought for it. no doubt about it. >> yeah. >> because i don't think we do anything different than any male coach around the country, and certainly our program has sustained success, just like other women in other professions. we have administrators on our campus. we have -- i mean, we have professors on our campus. we have, you know, in, you know, white collar professions, there are women who don't get an opportunity to earn what they deserve, and i just -- i know at the -- that the university of south carolina has had a rich history of racism and i'm not going to dispute that, but i am going to raise them up in a way that they've done something that no other university has done.

i must keep that out there because they didn't have to do it. i will be remiss if i didn't say thank you to my attorney, butch bowers, angela o'neil, they've both with me through out the good, bad, the ups and downs. and i also have to just also thank -- there was a special on the women's soccer national team. >> right. >> lfg. i watched it, and it gave me the strength that i needed to keep pushing through with what they were going through. so megan and crew, i appreciate you for your fight. i hope that one day everybody sits where i'm sitting that has been discriminated against. it's our time in women's sports and, you know, women in general. it's our time. i think now this is going to

become a popular right thing to do, and i hope -- i hope it becomes the norm because it's the right thing to do. >> yeah, and you have earned it. you have certainly earned it, dawn staley. thank you so much. i know you won it all in 2017. you've made consecutive appearances to the final four, and the preseason polls have you toward the top again. the way you have carried yourself, the example you're setting about pay equity, thank you so much, dawn. take care. do you still wear that rubber band around your wrist? pop yourself when you do something wrong? >> i still wear a rubber band. i don't pop it as much. >> that's right. no, you don't. take care. take care, my friend. let's get over now to ginger. ginger? >> thank you, robin. okay, so we have a parade of storms, windy and snowy. that's what's happening now out in the west. look at loveland, colorado. they're hoping to open in the next couple of weeks at least because the conditions look like they will be ripe. already opened with an 18-inch base at a basin.

hello. not only fall, but feeling like winter. we still do have exceptional drought. we're talking about nearly half of california in the highest level of drought, but some good news for the northern bay area. this parade of storms going to bring enough moisture to do 3, 4 inches of rain all the way up the coast into washington state and oregon, and what that means for the rockies, means a lot of snow. let's our next guest is a tony, emmy and grammy winner, and he

can now add author to that impressive resume. please welcome the incomparable, the always fashionable, the wonderful billy porter. billy, it's always good to see you. you're an academy award away from being an egot winner. is that on the list of things to do, get an oscar? >> why not? in due time. everything in due time. >> in due time, and you have absolutely, according to this book at least, you had to wait for a lot and fight for a lot, but let's get into this book. a lot of people i talked to this w sr who wrote books or have a i askedm why now. they say, i had some time during the pandemic. for you, why now for this book? it wasn't just a matter of down time, was it? >> well, i had been working on it literally since 2014, the inception of the idea for this memoir, and it was covid and the lockdown that helped me focus

it. you know, it was initially about, you know, overcoming adversity, and yes, that was the theme, but it was the lockdown that, you know, helped me laser it, helped me get specific about what that meant. >> okay. how much deeper and specific did it get? because i was reading it over the weekend, and billy, it is, man, it is honest, and it is a heavy read at times. >> yes. >> so how much did you transition? like you just said there, oh, overcoming adversity, and some cute book if you will to something that is much more intense. >> yeah. well, it was -- it was the lockdown, and i started thinking about, you know, my own specific trauma, and the theme shifted to healing my trauma through my art. so that specificity sort of came into play during the lockdown and the title came which is "unprotected," and, you know, about being unprotected in the

micro, which is my own personal life, but also watching the world, and watching us all be unprotected in the macro which i thought would be a great way to expand it and make my journey universal. >> you talk about -- it's one thing to just say i was bullied in school. you go into some detail about episodes that you ended up in the hospital because of bullying. what in the -- would you have anything to say to those bullies today? >> i don't have to say anything. success is the sweetest kind of revenge, if revenge is even the word. you know what i mean? i don't have to say anything. all i have to do is keep on living in my truth. that is all i have to say, and that changes the world and it makes it a safer place for those who come behind me.

so that's, you know, that's the goal. >> you got your truth in your book that's out now, but you also have music and you seem to be on a journey here. >> yes, i am. >> the new single is called "children," but it goes into your story, your life and your journey. tell me about the single. >> yes. i wrote it with jade in london. you know, we talked just a lot about, you know, the infusion of my personal story into my music, and, you know, this is a song about empowerment. it's a song about, you know, owning who you are, being authentic, and it's time to let the children know what time it is, and the time is now for the embracing of all people without -- without apology. >> you know, one last thing here i want to get from you because you talked in the book about --

you overworked yourself for the sake of purging the shame and self-hatred. almost saying that what you went through spurred you to be the artist and the talent that you are. where would you be without that trauma? could you still -- did you have to go through that for us to get the billy porter we have today? >> uh, yes. the short answer to that question is yes, and the thing that i have been working through in my life and the book as a daily practice is releasing the shame of everything. you know, shame is a silencer. shame is a murderer, and my hope that is for anyone who is reading this book, anyone who comes under the sound of my voice and experiences my art in any way to understand how to release the shame and choose yourself. it's the only way to heal. >> like you say in your book, you would be doing a disservice if you did not speak your truth and put out a book like this. "unprotected," billy porter. it's always good to see you.

we want people to know that the book is available tomorrow. coming up on "gma" -- coming up tomorrow? no. coming up next. the book is tomorrow. jamie is next.

>> my grandmother, listen -- look, act like you got some sense is what i said in my oscar speech. my grandmother used to say, you know, when you grow up a little black kid, and you go into the store, you act like you got some sense, but i took that for my whole life, that everywhere i go i want to act like i got some sense. i want to make sure that i'm doing the right things and respecting my grandmother. but then, when it comes to raising my daughters, i used some of the wonderful teachings my grandmother and grandfather gave me and sort of covering emotional potholes when i was growing up from being adopted and things like that, and apply it to my kids and i found out i didn't have to use as many disciplines because i got -- i got pretty good kids. so my book is fun. when you read it, it's exactly, like, how i talk. i don't jump too much to the critics unless they like it and they dig it, so it's like -- i think they dig it because it's exactly like how i -- how i talk in the book. and it's fun.

it's light, but if you are a father trying to connect with your kid, you know, it speaks about that. >> that's what you said, is your number one dad rule, the connection. >> connection is everything. women are always under siege from men anyway because they got to wear their hair right and this and that. when a father is there, you automatically think inherently that, you know, the mother has the dibs on talking to the daughter, but i say not so, because those things are going to come up about, you know, what boys are about. that's where we come in because we know -- that's what we are. you got the light eyes. you know what i'm saying. if a guy comes in with light eyes and he gets to singing, be careful. but what i'm saying is we're able to, and i have been able to with my daughters, have those conversations early, whether it be about her body or what she's going through, but i'm knocking down some of those things early

now and it pays dividends. >> especially now. >> i was working so much with my first daughter. i was doing standup. i was trying to -- i would get home and take her to disneyland. come on. mickey mouse will fix everything. i don't know why i'm talking like eddie murphy. anyway, but my daughter, at one point in the book says, when we were in therapy, dad, let's go therapy. first of all, black people we don't go to no therapy. she was like, dad, stop. so there we are in therapy -- i'm there doing jamie foxx. as a father, i'm trying to make sure -- and the therapist says, could you just shut up for two seconds and let her talk? she said, dad, i don't like you coming up because you felt that disneyland and all this meant something. actually, i just want more time. i said, oh. that hits you to the core because everybody else is yelling there's the superstar or whatever i am. but now here listening to my daughter and that changed our relationship, the trajectory went --

>> that must have stunned you. >> yeah. you're growing up and i got a lot of jelly at my house. it don't make sense to you as i'm saying it. when i was growing up, i didn't have jelly. i got, like,he ojey in my crib. so i thought that having money would sort of fix everything, but not so. so in the book, you see, you know, you see me be vulnerable. you see me talk, you know, pop some jokes, but there's a couple of things in there that, you know, make you pay attention. >> what age was your daughter when she said that to you in therapy? >> man, this was 15. she was 15 at this time. you know, so i thought that -- i thought things were going well, you know, but then for her to say that, it just made me make sure that i paid attention because even though, like, eaie hi had to do this movie called "any given sunday," right? i was asking oliver stone, what do i do with my daughter? he gave me a great piece of advice. he said, bring your kid with you.

bring your kid to work so she can sort of see why dad is not home right now. she understands that i'm not there, but he's working. so i started doing that, but then i found that i had to do that more.ed up. so now my oldest daughter is cool enough to allow me to have learned those lessons so my young daughter, i'm getting it. you know what i'm saying? i made sure i got it. now we're all like one big happy family. >> did you always think you were doing the right thing and you were loving your kids because you were providing for them? sometimes as men we -- >> yeah. yeah. >> we're providing and protecting. >> you do, but that's not enough. sometimes it could be easy to write a check or send something over, but, you know, i think what happens in the end, the money, it really is -- it really is, like, not as important as you think. it's that, look, i always live in a place of guilt by sometimes living my life if i feel like i haven't put the time in with my kids. so there's nothing like that.

there's no feeling that you get when your kid smiles and is happy to see you coming. >> and they're both doing so well. >> yeah. >> i know you're proud of both of them. >> i'm proud of -- look, my oldest daughter, she's a producer on my show now doing the tv show. i was doing something i thought was funny, and she calls down, that's terrible. move on. she runs my company, and then my youngest daughter, she's playing the piano. she's on the guitar and she's 5'10" at 13 years old. her last game before the covid, she was playing with the boys, and she had 21 points, 17 rebounds, 5 blocks and they only had 24 points. you know what i'm saying? i had to learn that because when she first started playing at school -- i won't say where the school is. it's in a nice area in california. she made a shot at like 8. she made two. the lady was, like, we don't keep score here. mr. foxx, there's no score keeping.

>> he remembers every stat. >> every stat. >> it's in the book. we're going to keep score. the girl is handling the boys. i'm proud of both of them and it's just a good feeling. >> it's great to have you in studio. thank you.

owe back now here on "gma."

two of hollywood's hottest young stars joining us now. emmy award-winning actress zendaya and oscar-nominated timothee chalamet. there they are, starring in the new sci-fi epic "dune already getting rave reviews. good to see you both. how y'all doing? >> feeling great. thanks for having us. >> really good. >> okay, i'm going to share something that my producer on the ground there with you all, that y'all have met, cleo, sent me a text message saying timothee and zendaya are amazing and together, they explain this bond. >> i got to make a best friend shooting "dune." it's a movie i'm deeply proud of. it comes out this week as you said, but zendaya is a friend for life. >> same. >> we got along great on set, and i'm counting my lucky stars that i got a friend in this crazy industry that i can count on, and she got the same here, and hopefully we can keep each other grounded. >> absolutely, and i hope we get to do this again because selfishly i want to hang out

with my bestie. >> y'all were friends on set, but also with the dance parties in the trailer, i understand, what was the music being played? can somebody explain who brought the music? who was deejaying and what kind of music was it? >> anybody who knows this man knows what he travels with sound. there's always some kind of music emanating from, like, his pocket or a small speaker that he carries with him. so he definitely started with the tunes. i hosted in my dressing room, and then we had a few people attending, our little party. one being javier bardem. >> zendaya hosted in her dressing room and jason momoa danced with us, and it was, like, a 2008 dance play list. if you were around then, i was 13, if you were into that era,

lil' wayne, t-pain -- >> oh, wow. >> you know "high school musical," stuff like that, soaring, flying. there is not a star in heaven we cannot reach. >> oh, wow. you had me up to "high school musical." i wasn't dancing to that in 2008. let's turn to the movie though. it wasn't just all fun. >> what were you dancing to? >> in 2008, i was in atlanta. there was a lot of t-pain in my life at the time. >> okay. absolutely. that was also my ringtone. >> oh, wow. see that? we could have had a great dance party on the set of "dune." you all had work to do, and it was pretty brutal and physical acting because y'all shot this out in the desert in the uae, in jordan. it got to 100 degrees sometimes and you all were wearing thick outfits. how brutal was it to be out in that heat? >> it's ironic because in the movie, the suits keep the characters cool in the heat of the desert. in real life, they make you extra hot. if you're a fan of big movies this is a movie you have to see

in theaters. it was made for theaters, and sound designed to be in theaters. the person who did the score for "the lion king," "titanic" -- >> just to name a few. >> he did the score for this. it's a movie that shakes the sheeters. i'm not selling a piece of meat here or something. it's something truly special, absolutely. >> we're going to try to give them a taste of what you are describing with a clip here. let's take a look. >> i want you to die with honor. this knife was given to me by my great-aunt. it's made from a tooth, the great samurai. this would be a great honor for you to die holding it. >> you were pretty intense

there, timothee, even though she was doing all the talking in that particular clip. zendaya, this one is coming out, but already talk of a sequel. that's happening, yes? fingers and arms crossed. >> yes. >> fingers, arms crossed, everything you can cross. >> yes, yes. we would absolutely love to. this is such a beautiful story and it's really only part one. there's so much more to explore with these characters and this world, and they've done a beautiful job for setting it up for those who maybe haven't grown up with it in the same way, and i would love to be able to revisit these characters. i got a small bit of time to hang out with everybody, and i would absolutely love to again because i feel like i learned so much, and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. >> timothee and zendaya -- >> hopefully people go see it and love it and we'll be back. >> i know you all have waited a long time with the pandemic to get this one out. it's finally out. "dune" hits theaters on thursday. we'll see you down the road, all right?

>> thank you, t.j. >> thank you so much. ginger, over to you. >> i've spent the last three minutes thinking, what did i dance to in 2008? rihanna. it was rihanna for me. it's been a pretty mild fall so far, but are you ready? because temperatures are dropping not just today, but even cooler by tomorrow morning, and that's not all that's dropping. as we head toward the holidays, this segment is sponsored by walmart, and they just dropped their black friday circular overnight. we're sharing the hottest deals with you this morning. so you can start planning for the holiday season. it all starts with the samsung chromebook. normally priced $199, dropping to 87 bucks. i feel very much like tory right now for a savings of $112. and another hot ticket item, this vacuum normally $149, will be on sale for 99 bucks. then, the kids including mine -- don't show them this because we're trying to keep it low here. they're going to love it.
