saturated all of the trees are at risk. even if you get a 50 hour wind. there are more rounds of rain through this week and especially into the high elevations, you're talking about four to five-inch per hour snowfall rates and that's when we end up with avalanche warnings. that's all the way over to colorado where they're concerned because they had a fatal avalanche over the weekend. this is what's going to happen. 60 to 80 inches by mid week in the sierra. that's on top of what's been an extravagant season snow-wise. george, much more to come. >> all right, thank you, ginger. we go to washington now and the house back to work today after the high drama last week. kevin mccarthy finally elected speaker on the 15th ballot. congressional correspondent rachel scott is tracking it all on capitol hill. a rachel, good morning. >> reporter: good morning,

possible conflicts of interest because some of these republicans are the subject of those investigations and they're not vowing to recuse george? >> rachel scott, thanks very much. robin? george, now to president biden in mexico for a summit of north american leaders this morning after making his first visit to the southern border since taking office. the issue of immigration is expected to be at the top of the agenda. our senior white house correspondent mary bruce is there in mexico city. good morning, mary. >> reporter: robin, good morning. president biden waking up here in mexico city this morning, his first trip to latin america as president. immigration is top of mind at this summit and the president setting the tone with that visit to the border yesterday. he is facing a lot of pressure on this with tens of thousand us crosses the border illegally every month. the president knows this is a real political liability for him. y for the first time he got a firsthand look spending time meeting with local officials and spending time walking along sections of the border. the president is trying to project that he's on top of this.

he announced new plans to try to tackle this crisis, expanding policies to expel migrants from mexico, nicaragua, cuba and venezuela who crossed the border illegally, while's announcing the u.s. will take up to 30,000 migrants a month from the same countries, but they have to meet strict criteria including having a sponsor in the u.s. robin? >> republicans are pushing back hard on the president's plan including the governor of texas. he had a message for biden. >> reporter: he met the president on the tarmac yesterday, republican governor greg abbott, he handed the president a letter, he said the president's visit to the border was too little, too late, his policies made the issue worse but the president said the real problem here is republicans back in washington in congress who have failed to act on comprehensive immigration reform. robin? >> mary, thank you, reporting from mexico city. michael? now to the shooting caught on camera inside a texas restaurant. police are searching for a man who they say opened fire,

[ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: police say the weapon the suspect was carrying turned out to be a plastic airsoft, or bb gun. ve the police haven't identified the deceased suspect or the man accused of killing him, calling him a person of interest. >> he could be charged with murder but in this case i believe he's going to be justify. in texas, a person can use deadly force. >> reporter: no charges have been filed in this case but houston police may soon hear from that patron who shot that alleged robber. his lawyer says his client may

be ready to talk about exactly what happened that night in that restaurant. george? >> what a scene. john, thanks very much. here in new york, thousands of nurses are on strike this morning after negotiations fell through last night. eva pilgrim is at mount sinai hospital with the latest. good morning, eva. >> reporter: there's a sea of nurses behind me all on the picket line. at the heart of this issue is something we're seeing across the country, nursing 7,000 nurses at four locations in new york city going on strike as of 6:00 this morning. the nurses union and hospitals negotiated through the weekend and all through the night, but we're told it fell apart around 1:00 a.m. the sticking point in these negotiations staffing shortages, nurses/patient ratio, from covid until now. this isn't just a problem here. we're seeing nursing shortages at hospitals from coast to coast. in minnesota some 15,000 nurses went on strike for three days ck september. they avoided a second strike in december. here in new york, hospitals

was time for him to finally take control of the narrative. >> i don't think we can ever have peace with my family unless the truth is out there. >> there's a lot that i can forgive, but there needs to be conversations in order for reconciliation and part of that has to be accountability. >> reporter: in his new memoir "spare," prince harry writes about the british royal family's complicated relationship he says they have with the british press and chronicles the family dynamics that led him and his wife meghan to step back from royal life. >> share with me the significance of the title. >> within the family there's the spare and the heir, my brother being the heir and me being the spare. i think there's a good opportunity to choose a title that had been somewhat used against me for a long part of my life and own that title. >> reporter: to the outside world prince harry and his brother prince william always appeared close, bonded by the

death of their mother, princess diana, when harry was just 12. harry writes about a more complex relationship. recalling disputes between the brothers. >> you refer to your brother as beloved brother and arch-nemesis. strong words. >> there's always been this competition between us weirdly. again, i think it plays into or played by the heir/spare and the british press is part of that, right. they pitched the wales, right, against the sussexes. they always pitched us against each other. they pitched kate against meghan. >> when they pitched them against each other, do you think it made them kind of go against each other? >> yeah, without question. >> reporter: harry claims members of the royal family and their staff fed stories to the press and refused to set the record straight on false

reports, especially about his wife meghan. shifting a negative spotlight on to her in order to protect other royals. >> do you have any examples of some of those stories? >> there's a whole handful of examples in the book. it's so petty, but the bridesmaids' dresses. that was a hard one for me because i thought we were past that. while i was writing the book we were on version 29 or 30, all of which involved my wife supposedly making numerous people within my family cry, which simply wasn't the case. for historical reference the truth needs to be there. >> how would your mom feel about the relationship with your brother now? >> i think she'd be sad and looking at it long term to know that there were certain things we need to go through in order to heal the relationship. i think she would be heartbroken that it's ended up where it's ended up. i think she would be heartbroken about the fact that william, his

office were part of these stories, and william and i made a deal no matter what we would never let our offices fight against each other. >> do you think he broke that pact? >> yes. the people he employed broke that pact. >> do you think you have any responsibility in the breakdown of the relationship? >> without question, sure. what people don't know is the efforts i've gone through to resolve this privately, both with my brother and my father. >> reporter: harry also writing about family issues with his father, king charles, and his wife, queen consort saying that he and his brother asked his father not to marry camilla, but they also wanted their father to be happy. writing, we even wanted camilla to be happy. if she was happy, maybe she

would be less dangerous. >> you write, when your father married camilla i had complex feelings of gaining a step parent. what had she done at that point? >> i have a huge amount of compassion for her, you know, being the third person within my parents' marriage and she had a reputation, or image, to rehabilitate and whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that would be the best way of doing it. >> what is your relationship with camilla now? >> we haven't spoken for a long time. you know, i love every member of my family despite the differences. so when i see her, we're perfectly pleasant with each other. she's my stepmother. i don't look at her as an evil stepmother. i see someone who married into this institution and has done everything that she can to, you

know, improve her own reputation and her own image for her own sake. >> reporter: as his relationship with meghan got more serious and dominated headlines, harry believes his father and camilla got jealous. >> i was surprised when i read that, you're in the car with your father and brother, casually brings up meghan. casually drops in that he wouldn't be able to support you both. how did that make you feel? where did that come from? >> it's a funny one within the family, right? my father was ultimately responsible for both me and my brother and you know our partners and families. so it did seem a little bit strange that somehow the rules were being changed or that i was being guided on a very different path or at least my partner was being guided on a very different path should we end up getting married. >> reporter: harry says women who marry into his family face

intense media scrutiny. when it came to meghan, he said the british press used her race against her. >> my wife is not visibly black, but that's who she is. the way they speak about her and the way they treat her is incredibly relatable to everybody else of color. >> did it give you a better sense, being with meghan, about how black women are seen, treated in society as a whole? >> yes. >> reporter: with the paparazzi playin a role in his mother's deadly car crash, he feared the relentless media coverage of his family could endanger meghan and their son archie. >> i'm trying to put a stop to this because i can't ever imagine and i don't want to imagine what that would be like for me and my kids, especially when you talk about history repeating itself. >> reporter: he suggested a >> repor possible solution to the royal family, a hybrid proposal that would have allowed them to split

their time between canada and uk while still serving the queen. >> recently you lost your grandmother and i offer my condolences to you. has she expressed that she was upset at you for if wanting to change your role? >> no. my grandmother and i had a very good relationship. it was never a surprise to her, least of all her. she knew what was going on. she knew how hard it was. she never said to me that she was angry. i think she was sad that it had got to that point. >> reporter: harry said his proposed plan was ultimately denied and his security funded by uk taxpayers was taken away from him. >> there was no compromise with the family? >> no, which was really sad, because i still to this day believe that this was entirely possible. >> there are going to be people that are going to say, why don't they either be in or get out? because if they're out, there's no hypocrisy.

>> i can't ever get out. i'm incredibly aware of my position and i'm incredibly grateful for the life i've had and continue to live. there's no version of me ever being able to get out of this. i was stunned that my family would allow security to be taken away. especially at the most vulnerable point for us. >> do you think they didn't understand your concerns or they didn't concern themselves with your concerns, they didn't care? >> probably a little bit of both. >> some critics are going to say, you're taking private struggles. you're making money it's almost as if you sold out your family. >> the only way i can correct those mistruths is by writing something, the truth, in one place and i fully accept that writing a book is feeding the beast anyway. >> is there a part of you that can see you and your family going back to the uk, becoming working royals within the monarchy? >> i don't think it's ever going to be possible.

i don't think that even if there was an agreement or an arrangement between me and my family, there is that third party that's going to do everything they can to make sure that that isn't possible. not stopping us from going back, but making it unsurvivable, and that's really sad because that is essentially breaking the relationship between us. if there was something in the future where, you know, we can continue to support the commonwealth, then that, of course, is on the table. >> prince harry said he felt a responsibility to speak out against the racism that he said his family faced in the british press because if he can't do it with all of his resources, then who can? he also hopes by exposing the relationship he describes between the family and the press it will stop and

protect other members of the family and future generations to come. in our next hour, prince harry talks about his mental health struggles the moment he finally accepted his mom's death and how he still feels her presence today especially as a father of two. also, "prince harry in his own words," half hour special will stream on abc news live and hulu tonight at 8:30. "spare" is available everywhere tomorrow. >> that breach is so deep in that family. >> he's very honest about it, george. >> he's wanting accountability before there can be any sort of reconciliation. >> he's willing to admit his faults and hopes that others will look at his example and admit theirs. that's the only way he feels the family can come back together. >> all right. as you said, more in our next hour. >> yep. coming up next the travel deals you don't want to miss. why now is the best time to book and why the savings on the high seas could be better than ever. come on back.

want to go back to our congressional correspondent rachel scott on capitol hill. rachel, good morning. >> reporter: george, good morning to you again. kevin mccarthy survived the longest and most contentious battle for speaker since before the civil war. it was bitter until the very end. after suffering defeat after defeat, kevin mccarthy was confident on the 14th ballot would win. he fell one vote short, congressman matt gaetz delivered the crushing blow. what happened next was dramatic. mccarthy confronting gaetz and moments later, republican mike rogers had to be physically restrained from going after gaetz. even former president donald trump stepping in. marjorie taylor greene trying to hand her phone to other members with former president trump on the line. mccarthy was able to win on the 15th ballot but he had to make some pretty significant concessions in order to get there. republicans now vowing to be a check on the biden administration. george? >> we'll be watching those investigations. rachel, thanks very much. folks are going to be watching tonight because the

college football championship game, undefeated georgia hoping to make it two national titles tonight but the bulldogs have to get by tcu first. will reeve is outside the stadium in l.a. where they'll face off tonight. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, robin. only three teams have repeated as national champions since 1990. alabama, the last to do it over a decade ago. georgia trying to become the first college team to do it in the playoff era and they're led by heisman trophy quarterback stetson bennett. he's unbelievable, what a character and what a game georgia played to get them to their 14-0 record, a thrilling comeback to get them to this final. they're looking to become repeat champions. on the other side of the field though, tcu has its own heisman finalist, max duggan, he's a superstar. the team has gone 13-1, which

is amazing in any especially this year since the team only had five games last year. the horned frogs though are massive underdogs but the beautiful chaos of college football means anything could happen tonight. so will georgia etch its place in history as repeat champion or will tcu shock the world as perhaps the most unlikely champ in decades? let's find out together along with the 70,000-plus here in the building, millions more watching at home. kickoff just a few hours away, guys. >> will, well put, my friend. enjoy the game, will. you can see the college football national championship game tonight, coverage starts at 7:30 eastern on espn. coming up on "gma," our interview with gabby giffords and senator mark kelly on their fight against gun violence in america after a life-changing moment. how they're making a difference and bringing people together. also this morning, prince harry telling me about his mother princess diana, the stories he told himself to avoid facing her loss and what saved him. that's coming up.

♪ we're back now with our "gma" cover story, and as part of our ongoing abc series guns in america, i sat down with former congresswoman gabby giffords and her husband arizona senator mark kelly. yesterday marked exactly 12 years since giffords was shot in the head, nearly killed in a mass shooting and she has been leading her national gun safety advocacy group giffords for ten years now. i spoke with the couple about their challenging journey and their vital work combatting gun violence. former astronaut mark kelly swearing in for his first full term as arizona as senator. by his side his wife, former congresswoman gabby giffords. >> public service has always been a big part of, not only for gabby and me, for both of us, but also for our family. >> i'm so proud of him. i'm so proud of him. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> reporter: the couple now reflecting on the life-altering

moment which happened 12 years ago. at a meet and greet event outside tucson, a gunman killing six and injuring 13, including gabby who was shot in the head. we can't forget how both of your lives changed january 2011. senator kelly, you have been there by her side all of this time. what don't we know about the strength and resilience of your wife? >> she's always been about never giving up. >> inch by inch. >> and she often tells me remain focused. she was in a coma for probably about a week or so but her recovery has been quite remarkable. >> what have you learned from the experiences these past 12 years? >> to be grateful for family and friends and to live every day to fullest. >> reporter: asphasia has

impaired her ability to speak. still, gabby makes incredible progress in her recovery. her outrage transforming into action after the devastating events of sandy hook which killed 26 people, including 20 young children. >> the day that happened we were not in the same place. >> no. >> i got on the phone with gabby. >> enough is enough. >> that's what she said. enough is enough. and we made a decision to start an organization. gabby's organization that she built has had tremendous, tremdot. >> gabby, what is your hope this year for giffords? >> save lives, save lives, save lives, save lives. >> that's your battle cry. >> yes. >> reporter: gabby is now celebrating a decade of her organization giffords, bringing together survivors and advocates, including jeanette and pam, two moms who both tragically lost their sons to

gun violence. tell us about patrick, what were his dreams? >> patrick was an artist and he was a student at the ringling college of arts and design when he was killed. he was very talented and driven and just an amazing person. >> pam, tell people what they need to know especially today, this special day about your son. >> this is my oldest son and today is his 35th birthday. he was everything. so, instead of me celebrating his 35th birthday at the cemetery, i'm here with you all and i appreciate that, but it's difficult today. >> reporter: turning their pain into purpose, giffords dares to dream what a future looks like without gun violence. >> looking ahead are you optimistic about the work that giffords can continue to do to make a difference? >> i'm optimistic.

it will be a long, hard haul, but i'm optimistic. >> if somebody is watching and wondering what they can do in their own communities to help, what is your advice? >> be a leader. set an example. be passionate. be courageous. be your best. >> she certainly is. >> the progress is just incredible. >> i'm telling you, i've done interviews with her over the years and to sit down with her and her husband just to see the progress that she's made and she has turned her pain into purpose. and she wants people to know that giffords see signs that this gun safety movement is making impact. over the past ten years her organization says that 525 gun safety laws have been passed at the state level and in june the president signed the first major gun safety legislation passed by congress in more than 30 years. her work is definitely ongoing, but what also struck me talking to the two moms gabby was stroking their backs, just, you

know, can truly understand what they're going through. after sandy hook, they started the organization because she said enough is enough. that was the moment. >> she's really changing the movement there. thank you, robin. now to more of my one-on-one conversation with prince harry ahead of his new memoir "spare." he opened up to me about his mental health struggles. how he didn't cry for a decade after losing his mother, princess diana, and the moment he truly he accepted his mother's death and how he still feels her presence today. take a look. it's the image seared many minds. 12-year-old prince harry and 15-year-old prince william, heads bowed walking behind a horse-drawn carriage holding their mother's coffin. >> you say you didn't cry for years. >> the first time i cried was at the burial. >> then after that, for years? >> yeah. >> why?

>> it wasn't through a lack of trying. i tried. believe me i tried, but there was nothing there. i was numb. >> reporter: in his new memoir "spare," harry's describing the morning of august 1, 1997, when his father, now king charles, delivered the devastating news that princess diana had been killed in a paris car crash. >> i said, dad, i would never ever want to have to break that news, ever. so i have a huge amount of sympathy and compassion and understanding now about how ill equipped i guess my dad was, how ill equipped anybody would be in that situation. and also the acceptance that all of the realization that he was undoubtedly awake since 1:00 a.m., since the moment that he

was told of the crash, but for me it was really important to be able to sketch that scene and share with people where my story really began. >> were you comforted in any way? >> i don't think my family knew what to do. i don't think they knew what to do and i can't say whether other families would have done a better job. i wish i had the ability or opportunity to do some form of therapy or at least be able to talk more about losing my mum and celebrating her life. but who's to say at age 12 whether i would have even said yes to that. >> you talk about for a while in your mind you said she's hiding. there's no way this could have happened to my mom. she's hiding. why do you think you went that route? >> 100% a defense mechanism. i think for anyone, especially if you're a kid -- i was 12 years old.

i refused to accept that that's what had happened. if you asked me the questions like, how would your life look different if you had done therapy then? i probably would have drunk less, or partied less, not for the reason i was doing them. for me it was kind of either trying to find a feeling or numb a feeling. but my military service literally saved me. >> two tours in afghanistan. you learned to fly an ache heliconot easy to do. noma people know how to do it. it seems like you found your purpose in the military. >> it seemed perfect because i then had the opportunity to be part of some it r communities and serve people as much as i can and use this position for good. i genuinely get a good feeling

helping other people. ultimately it challenged me. it was beyond anything else that i could have ever imagined. >> were you surprised that you recognized some of these things in yourself that you saw other soldiers suffered from that possibly could have gone back to your childhood when you were 12 years old and lost your mother? >> yes, for me it was very much ptsi more than an injury disorder. guys and girls not in military across society as a whole that people are diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder but i try to reframe it as much as possible to say it's an uned y because you actuaan fromt >> ovethe nextoudays wulma achievemtsnd thes will be changedweekend. >> reporter: bomllve the wo c>> ye able to create the opportunity for them to be able to redefine themselves post-injury.

i don't know whether it's selfish or not, but i started to feel a huge amount of healing in myself as well. >> reporter: healing for himself harry says came with therapy, the final piece of the puzzle that helped him process his grief over his mother and start a new chapter with his wife meghan and their two children, archie and lilibet. however, princess diana still has a strong presence. harry recalling a visit to his mother's grave to mark the 20th anniversary of her death, and a candid conversation he said he shared with his brother. >> i talked about having that conversation. william felt as though she was very much in his life and he felt as though she moved over and helped me set my life up. i think my mother would realize

the missed opportunity with meghan. >> do you think of the 21st century, there's a place for the british monarchy? >> i believe there is. not the way it is now. >> do they need to modernize, and in what way? >> i think the same thing i went through, regarding my own conscious bias would be hugely beneficial to them. not racism, but unconscious bias if not confronted and not grown from that can move into racism but there was an enormous missed opportunity with miss wife. >> i understand what you mean when you say there was a lost opportunity with your wife. explain that for those who may not. >> representation is what she said to me right from the beginning. representation and as i as a privileged white man didn't really understand what she was talking about. >> you get a chance to tell your story now. your brother may never have that chance. are you sympathetic to that? >> yes, 100%. this book is not about the relationship between me and william. this book is about my life.

between me and my family and me and the british press, naturally plays a huge part in how i am, where i am today. >> you said you want your father and brother back. do you think that this book is going to bring them back or going to further divide you? >> i have thought about it long and hard and as far as i see it the divide couldn't be greater before this book. but i genuinely believe that if me and my family can reconcile, can put our differences behind us. first there needs to be accountability and, if that doesn't happen, that's very sad. but i'll focus on my life, my amazing family that i'm so grateful to have, my two kids are bouncing up and down early this morning while i was trying to prepare if that. i guess that was the preparation. and, you know, i don't -- i'm not angry anymore. there are things that will still anger me, but i'm not angry anymore because i'm exactly where i'm supposed to be.

>> and we received a response from the law firm representing buckingham palace this morning while we were on the air saying that the palace needed to, quote, considering what is exactly said in the interview in the context in which it appears, end quote, and asked them that we supply them an immediately with a copy of the entire interview, which we do not do that as a news organization as a matter of our policy. but he is very much focused on his family right now, his wife meghan and his two kids. and, you know, he's hoping for reconciliation at some point with his family, but he's realistic i may never happen. >> for the first time you met him, what did you come away feeling? >> very open, honest. really, really enjoyed sitting down with him. i thought he was a great guy. >> was he defensive at all in the interview? >> not defensive at all. he understands there were questions that he would have to answer, and answer honestly. he wrote the book, and he

understands even with the book saying what he feels, there are still going to be questions that will be asked of him. he's not shying away from answering those at all. >> you did a great job. >> thank you. thank you very much. i appreciate it.

now to new guidelines from the american academy of pediatrics for teens who are overweight or obese. these new recommendations called for a more proactive approach. dr. jen ashton is here to explain it. it's a pretty significant shift? >> yeah, george. it's 101 pages and basically the change here went from watchful waiting for children and teens with overweight and obesity to an aggressive all hands on deck approach involving pediatricians, nutritionists, other help professionals and the parents. >> even surgery and medication? >> i know that's going to get a lot of attention when people think, isn't that aggressive? in what they're saying in terms

of surgery, for children or teens with severe obesity you're talking bariatric surgery and that's a bmi starting at 120% for 13 and up. weight loss medication starting at 12 years of age and up. george, there have been 20 to 30 years now of good data showing safety and efficacy. again, it's about trying to jump in on those short-term and long-term risks that we know come with obesity. >> dr. jen ashton, thanks very much. coming up, rosie perez is here live.

it and "then and now," and "your honor," some people are saying it's career renaissance. do you feel that way? >> i'm just happy. i really am. i really just appreciative for the work, appreciative for the recognition, appreciative for the quality of work, because, yu know, those three shows are all completely different roles and so it feels really good, you know, because for a brown latina chick it's not easy. it's not easy in this business to still keep at it for 30-plus years and the phone is still ringing it's great feeling. >> you star with bryan cranston in "your honor." did he help convince you to take the role? >> oh, yes, they called me last minute, they were ready to shoot on a monday, he had the nerve to call on friday. i was like, what, i can't do this. that was via e-mail and he said call me, call me. and my friend ramon rodriguez on "will trent" he called me and

said, don't be a fool, call bryan. bryan said, don't worry about it, you're a pro and you can do this. you can jump right in and when i flew in on that sunday, he came to my hotel room. i said, what are you doing here? he said, we're going to work. open up your script, let's rehearse, he rehearsed with me all day. when i was on set, he looked at me and he goes, you got this. >> wow. >> so generous. >> he's so generous. he's so generous and a professional and also and you could appreciate this as a sports person you got to bring your a-game when you're with bryan cranston. he does not play. he's nice, and supportive, but once the director says action, he's looking at you, like, let's go. >> let's bring it. [ laughter ] >> let's take a look. >> you didn't talk about nothing, michael, come on. >> heaven. talked about heaven. >> really?

okay. what did you and carlo about? >> so you're just watching me. >> what did you and carlo talk about? have i given you the impression that any of this is optional? >> so i mean your character's new for season 2. what is she there to do? >> my character is a federal prosecutor and she's there to bring down the crime family and she knows that bryan cranston's character is the key. and so, yeah, go from there. i remember the first day of rehearsal bryan said, can i give you a note and i said, sure. he said, don't be intimidated by me and the series. you're the boss. you're in control. and i said, okay. and i smiled and he goes, that's it.

i was like, oh, and i was ready to go. i was ready to go. >> that was a good note. >> yeah. >> so in "your honor," you're a federal prosecutor, a detective in "then and now" flight attendant" you're a flight attendant or treason. so what side of the law is more fun to play? >> oh, my goodness, i think all of them. i think all of them. they're great. it's so great to be able to, you know, go from one side of a character to the other side of a character and but i have to tell you being bad was fun. [ laughter ] >> you like that. >> i do like it. but this show i really did like being, you know, that bad b-i-t-c-h. that boss lady who doesn't have to really be loud or mean, you know, with that smirk like i got

you. i really appreciated that too. >> we appreciate you. you get called on a friday to do a show on a monday, means they trust and know your talent that you can pull it off and you've done it. rosie, always great to see you and the second season of "your honor" premieres on showtime. you can stream it on demand on friday. you know where i'll be. coming up, we're going to back to will reeve for two great stories to watch for during

back now with two cinderella stories about to be played out tonight during the college ♪ this is what i live for ♪ back now with two cinderella stories about to be played out tonight during the college football national championship game. the quarterbacks for both georgia and tcu have overcome adversity to get there. will reeve is back with that and will, you have some friends with you. >> reporter: yes, i do. i roll deep, michael. good morning. tonight's the bulldogs and the horned frogs and the two quarterbacks with whom their teams' fortunes lie are the underdogs, undersized, underappreciated and undeterred. meet max duggan and stetson bennett. 25-year-old senior stetson bennett was barely recruited out of high school and made the university of georgia as a walk-on. last year he led the bulldogs to their first-ever college football playoff national championship. now, trying to become the first repeat champ since alabama over a decade ago. but bennett left georgia soon

after he got there, transferring to a junior college in search of playing time in 2018. >> when i left, i thought i was out forever from uga. i didn't think i was coming back. >> reporter: 21-year-old senior max duggan of tcu lit the college football world on fire this year. the culmination of a college career of peaks and valleys. the lowest low coming in 2020 with covid disrupting the sports world. duggan learned he had a heart condition and had to endure multiple surgeries. his playing future, uncertain. >> they put catheters through my neck and groin. i had a nine-hour procedure and two days later i had a blood clot from the surgery. i had to go into emergency surgery right after that. it puts a stop in your life. >> reporter: this year, he began as a backup. instead of transferring he stuck around and made the most of his second chance when his number was called.

>> duggan. >> i wanted to be here when tcu was winning, whether i was the starting quarterback or whether i was handing out gatorade on the deadlines. >> reporter: both determination and perseverance paid off. bennett is already a champion and now one win away from becoming a college football legend. duggan is headed to the nfl draft, hoping to write a new chapter in his story. both were in new york this winter as heisman trophy finalists. >> day by day. whatever the day throws at you, accomplish it and then all of a sudden we're here. >> you have so much pride for putting the jersey on and to be out there fighting for the guys. that's why i didn't quit. >> reporter: if duggan and tcu win tonight, it'll be the school's first title since 1938. and if bennett repeats as starting quarterback, he'll be the first to do that in over a decade. history will be written tonight. we're fired up on both sides. isn't that right? we're getting in the spirit and you can join us. it's the college football

playoff national championship only on espn. tonight coverage starts at 7:30. >> they're ready. they're ready to erupt. >> will is so natural surrounded by cheerleaders. >> george. >> the only thing better than watching the game tonight would be will if he had some pom poms too. will, get in the spirit man. >> will's like, what did i do? >> great job, will. now we're going to ginger. >> thank you all. i got a couple moves that i can help him with. the poconos, a really difficult season, nearly snowless for so many people in the mid-atlantic and northeast. that's from blue mountain resort. that is snow that's only been made by machines. green grass on the side. of course there's been plenty of snow in parts of the rockies and the sierras. look at this, a dusting in new

england. overall it's very, very warm. looking at the next two weeks. central park, the latest we've gone without measurable snow is january 28th. now to a new book about the murder of emmett till. for the first time reverend wheeler parker, emmett's cousin and best friend who was with him on that fateful night is sharing his side of the story. the book is called "a few full of trouble." alex perez sat down with him. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, george. emmett till was born and rsed right here in the chicago area. reverend parker is the last

surviving witness who was right there in the room the moment till was abducted. >> how vivid are your memories of that day? >> very, very vivid because you never forget it. how could that happen in america? but it happened. >> reporter: forever engrained in the history of our country, the tragic story of 14-year-old emmett till, brutally shot in mississippi in 1955. his murder shocked the nation and ignited the civil rights movement. now for the first time the events of that horrifying night are being told through the lens of one till's closest friends and cousin, reverend wheeler parker jr. in the new book "a few days full of trouble." >> you have no idea what it was like, that you could be killed for anything and nobody was going to say anything to help you. >> what was the process of writing this book like for you? >> i was reluctant to write it because so many people had wrote about it, told the story. and i said, what do i have new to say? someone said i need to tell it from my perspective.

>> in many ways reverend wheeler parker jr. is the last man standing. he was at the house on that night, the night of terror, when they took emmett away. he was the first person who was confronted by the killers with a flashlight and a gun pointed at his face. >> reporter: christopher benson is the co-author of the book and an associate professor at northwestern university. he says that although emmett till's story is well documented, the impact of his death continues to make a difference. >> emmett till becomes the bridge between the way we were and the way we are now. it's important for people to understand that. there's so many laws that were enacted as a result of the emmett till story as well. >> reporter: including the emmett till anti-lynching act that president biden signed into law, finally making lynchings a federal hate crime. reverend parker and his family right there in the rose garden on that historic day. >> how do you feel about the way things have changed? >> i look where we came from, how we got here and how much

work we got to do. it has changed. >> reporter: the 83-year-old says the trauma and pain from losing his cousin and best friend has never left him, and after all these years it's memories of the fun-loving free-spirited till he knew that comforts him. >> he loved to tell jokes. he loved to have fun. never had a dull day in his life and when you look at his pictures, check that smile out. >> reporter: and reverend parker tells me in many ways till's legacy is only just beginning. so much powerful insight here and the book, guys, is called "a few days full of trouble." guys? >> so glad he's telling the story. >> so powerful. coming up, tasha cobbs leonard performs live. ♪ lost and
