sources tell us prosecutors have started presenting evidence to a grand jury, seeking an indictment that could strengthen their case for his extradition from pennsylvania. a judge set a hearing for december 30th. for now he's locked in a cell nearly identical to this one. supporters are donating tens of thousands to online legal defense funds including one set up anonymously on give send go. the group saying, we are not here to celebrate violence, but we do believe in the constitutional right to fair legal representation. in seattle this chilling message appeared briefly on a road sign threatening other ceo's. the city blaming a private construction contractor. a florida woman charged with threatening her insurance company after it denied her claim. in a phone call she allegedly said delay, deny, depose, you people are next, echoing the words that were written on the shooter's bullets. that woman later told police she does not own a gun, she's a danger to no one.

but, michael, it shows how this shooting has touched a nerve. >> michael: it really has. while the police have their man, they're still finding out more about his movements after the shooting. >> they're investigating whether he took a bus out of town as they first thought from up by the george washington bridge. now they think he may have taken the subway down the penn station, taken a train to philadelphia. it's these little details they want to button up so they have an air tight prosecution. >> george: thanks. now the latest on the missing man found in syria. travis timmerman and his parents are speaking out about the horror that he endured and their hope for the future. james longman is on the scene in damascus. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning. from damascus, this is the first friday prayers since 1971 that this country has not been ruled by an assad. there's a lot of excitement here. the family of timmerman is speaking out. this morning the parents of missing american travis timmerman speaking out, recalling the first moments they heard he was alive and safe in syria.

from some new jersey officials. >> that is ridiculous. i would invite mr. kirby here. come on out and you can count them with me all night. >> reporter: that frustration echoed by members of congress on both sides of the aisle. >> they should be shot down, if necessary. the lack of information is absolutely unacceptable. >> reporter: in a strongly worded letter to the fbi, dhs and faa senators from new york and new jersey expressing urgent concern. drone experts suggest the concern may not be one for national security but rather for privacy. >> i question the rights of someone to fly over populated areas with cameras trained on the people below them. and i worry in the sense of national security, based on what i have heard, the answer is no. >> there's no clarity on where the aircraft are coming from. an expert said the fact these

aircraft have flown freely near sensitive areas may indicate they are not foreign and that the military is aware of them. the white house says it will continue to investigate, as will we. guys? >> rebecca: absolutely. good to get some con kraoetd answers here. okay, erielle. thank you. we turn to the newly minted university of north carolina head coach, bill belichick. formerly introduced as coach. we learn why the man who conquered the nfl is going back to school. will reeve, you're here to answer that very question. nice to see you. >> will: sure am. good morning. in their wildest dreams, unc football fans even just a few days ago couldn't have imagined that bill belichick, greatest nfl coach there ever was, who had only ever coached in the nfl, would come to their program that's been mediocre at best for years. but there he was in chapel hill, smiling at a press conference. another shocker there. being announced as head coach.

>> michael: we're back now with one of the movies getting big award season buzz. "a complete unknown" already has golden globe nomination, including one for timothee chalamet as bob dylan. deborah roberts talked to him and his co-star, elle fanning. >> you took the words out of my mouth, the buzz. it is getting hype and hasn't opened. timothee chalamet getting high praise for his portrayal of bob dylan even from the legendary singer himself. he and elle fanning said the film was nothing short of life changing for them. how much did you really know about bob dylan? >> i knew a little about him. a a friend of my father had a striking black and white portrait, sort of the cryptic mystic gaze. i didn't know who this man was. as i got into the press conferences and the music of the film of his character, i fell in love with him, his music is the music of life. ♪ where have you been my darling young one ♪

♪ i stumble on the side of 12 misty m >> reporter: it's a role of a lifetime for timothee chalamet who channels a young bob dylan from folk musician to global rock super star. >> beautiful. >> is it intimidating to step into the shoes of somebody who is so legendary and who is still alive? >> yes, massively intimidating. people, when they respect and love an icon like bob dylan, like willie wonka, they get extremely protective. they don't want to see a young ignorant mess it up. but i can tell you on this, we have a tremendous cast. elle fanning is beautiful in this movie. she's heartbreaking. >> you came here with nothing but a guitar. you never talk about your family, your past. >> civil rights movement, you've got activism, you've got poetry. this was a real moment in time for you to portray these characters.

>> it was such a crucial time period. for me as an actor, this is a nice reminder of, i don't know, very inspiring to go with your instincts and follow your heart and you can trust yourself. >> elle fanning playing the activist who inspired dylan's social conscience and stole his heart. the two stars joining me on the small stage where dylan once mesmerized audiences. >> that's where we started, 1961. lot of folk musicians were trying to get known. >> i like your songs. >> was there a certain amount of pressure in how to get her right? how did you play her? >> i think the challenge for me is i'm playing someone who isn't as well known. she's there out of a pure love for bob. she was a real activist at the time. very politically involved. it wasn't until bob met sue in life that he kind of became more

politically involved. i just wanted to show her strength. ♪ >> chalamet himself playing guitar and performing 40 songs throughout the film. >> all the instruments, harmonica, that was a bit of a war in the beginning of the movie. the music production team, they thought i would play off tempo. the director had my back. >> the first time that i saw timothee perform as bob and fully embodying him i was moved to tears. i wasn't even acting. the camera wasn't on my face. watching hip form these songs. >> bob dylan posted, calling you a brilliant actor. >> one of the most affirming moments of my life, truly. he is a man of few words so any of those words spent saying, hey, good job, young man, man, i'll take that with me forever. >> have you had a chance to meet dylan? >> never met bob.

>> would you want to? >> i go back and forth on it. i, obviously, reveer the man, his work and his public profile has influenced my life for five years now. yet he's given us everything he needs to give us, and me. not just the opportunity to play him, just his music and art. >> hardest part about making this film? >> the hardest part was stopping, letting it go. i never pushed myself as an actor, as far as stretching to this man's voice, the way he carried himself. letting it go felt like leaving part of me behind. this was one of my favorite roles of all time. >> and it was a breathtaking performance. chalamet trained for years for this role, working with a guitar teacher, harmonica teacher, body movement coach. he went all in, which seems to be his m. o. even off camera, he surprised fans recently in greenwich village where they were holding a look alike contest. you might remember that. sparking a viral moment. he had so much fun with that he threatened to send one of those look alikes to the interview.

[ laughter ] thankfully, he didn't. "a complete unknown" will be on theaters christmas day. i have to tell you, it is really good. >> lara: great to hear. he's such a great young man. >> michael: he really is. one of our favorites here at "gma." thank you, deb. been working a lot today. >> i'm going home. >> lara: it's friday. we're almost there. >> michael: we're almost there. somebody who's here. lori b is back with the holiday foods that are going viral.

>> lara: we are back now with gma's jolly holiday countdown. you might want to start singing it's a holly jolly christmas. all right. alas, lori b has been cooking up some of the hottest holiday food trends. boy, has she been cooking with this one. tell us about the roof on that house. [ laughter ] >> lori: that's right, lara. i have been working overtime in my satellite santa work shop. checking out the charcuterie chalet and holiday recipes that have gone viral. take a look. the hottest holiday food trends are sleighing social media. so i channelled by inner elf and gave the greatest hits a try in lori's workshop. >> okay. yep. >> i think these are so good. >> lori: first up fresh

cranberries turned into candy like creation. popping cranberries. i'm curious to see if it's as easy as everyone says and if they taste as good as they look. first we'll rinse our cranberries in pine apple juice. next cover them in powdered sugar and secret ingredient, strawberry gelatin mix. once they are covered give it a good shake. i enlisted a little helper for the shaking. >> smells good. >> lori: then we'll toss them on to a baking sheet and into the oven at 200 degrees for five minutes to dry. i took these out of the oven, popped them in the fridge about 30 minutes. now time to see if my three favorite elves like them. go ahead, guys. give them a try. >> really good. >> good. >> lori: mm. >> mine didn't pop. >> lori: try this one.

that one popped. i heard it. next up, move over gingerbread house. it's time for the charcuterie chalet. >> gingerbread houses are so last year. >> lori: we carefully assemble a store brought gingerbread kit, cover in cream cheese. then time to decorate. from a salami roof top. start at the bottom and go across adding each shingle over and up as you go. to pretzel windows to minibroccoli trees. you can get creative with your edible abode. like using parmesan cheese as snow. oooh. and nothing says home sweet home like a charcuterie chalet. we've got one here. guys on the set were taking pictures of my charcuterie chalet. >> lara: you have nothing to be ashamed of. we are loving this. >> lori: thank you. you're going to help me add potted plants.

by potted plants, mushroom caps with cheese cream add rosemary sprig. you can just pop it. put it on that front lawn. lara, at lori's workshop, we are exhaustive in our research and exhausted this christmas. >> lara: yes. >> lori: i want to just say one thing. it is meant to be made and grazed upon and eaten sort of immediately. >> rebecca: how long did it take to make? >> lori: took about two full hours. you really want to serve it immediately. it is cured meats. i want to get to popping cranberries. very impressive. >> lara: i'm very interested. >> lori: in any case, popping cranberries. we have some for you to try. this one was fun and really easy. just cranberries powdered sugar. we tried all of these different hacks we saw. pineapple juice, strawberry gelatin. give one a try. just take a bite.

it's delicious. what do you think? >> lara: i think it's very, very good. >> michael: good. >> lara: very tart. going to throw to ginger. >> ginger: thank you so much. we are just loving all the joy and kirby and shani. we told you about this light they've got for the holidays. they are so gorgeous. we took them earlier so you could get the feel. you can see some of the bright animals in the tree with their awesome heads in there. also more storms coming to the west coast. >> michael: now to david ko. ceo of calm, one of the most popular apps to help people

sleep, meditate and relax. david has written a book about self-care called "recharge." boosting your mental battery one conversation at a time. he is here to have a conversation with us. good morning. thank you for being here. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> michael: the word in the book is recharge. tell us what it means to you and why it's so important. >> i want to take what can be a heavy topic around your mental health and just make it simple. that conversation came from a good friend of mine when she talked to her two boys. she would ask them, how are you doing? how are you feeling? you get a standard answer, i'm fine. i'm good. when she'd ask them what's your battery at? sometimes they would say i'm at 75%, and she would know everything was good. then they would say 25% and she knew she probably needed to get them some food. >> michael: that's something we all need to do, especially during the holiday season. we all get worn out with the pressures and trying to squeeze everything in.

how does checking your battery work this time of year? >> we all know holiday stress is real. there's stress around complex family dynamics, relationships, financial. especially around this time end of the year and work. it's a time to check in on yourself and ask yourself how's your own battery? >> michael: talk to yourself a little bit. >> yeah yeah. just look at your phone, think about your internal battery. every once in awhile -- we look at our phones throughout the day. right? average could be over 150 times a day. reality is, when you're looking at your phone, remember to check in on yourself every once in awhile. >> michael: what about recharging going into the new year? >> yeah, yeah. i think recharging doesn't have to be so complex. when people think about it, they think, oh, it's going to take a lot of time. just take a breath, go outside, take a break. remember to get some sleep as well during this hectic time. >> michael: sleep is something everybody on this show struggles

[ laughter ] another word, conversation. lot of the things came from the book, come from conversations you've had with several people. one is someone i talked to a few years ago. what did you learn from him? >> i learned a sense of belonging. carl really taug me that if you don't feel that sense of belonging, you can't bring your whole self, whether it's to work or in your social life. after he came out, he kind of lifted all that stress that was there. not only did he continue to flourish in the nfl, but also as an entrepreneur after ward. true inspiration. i love how he recharges. it's simple. i asked him, how do you recharge in life? he said sometimes i go get some margaritas and sing karaoke. i love that. >> michael: i like that. i can get down with that. david, how do you recharge? >> if i want to do something quick, i go outside, i talk to friends.

actually did something the other day when i was feeling a little low in my own internal battery. little bit of a nod to taylor swift and her birthday. i actually played her music loud and listened to "shake it off." it helped me recharge. >> michael: simple little things that can help get yourself back on track. >> that's right. >> michael: david, i am so happy you wrote this book. i think so many people will be helped by this. appreciate you coming to "gma." >> thank you. appreciate it. >> michael: it's important to note for everybody that all the proceeds from david's book are going to the national alliance on mental illness. "recharge" is available on tuesday, december 17th. make sure you pick yourself up a copy or two or three for the holidayses so you can help yourself and others recharge in life. coming up our guy aloe blacc performs live. we'll be right back

his sixth studio album "stand together." he'll perform a single for news a palestinian it. i want to ask you about "don't go alone." it's inspired by an african proverb. if you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together. i love that proverb. what's the meaning for you? >> for me, i believe that community is vitally important and collaboration. i collaborated withstand together that supports the most amazing change makers in their communities to uplift nonprofit organizations. this song in particular "don't go alone" is representative of an organization called the phoenix, that uses collective action and activity and exercise, hiking, to overcome substance abuse and addiction. the idea of being able to go far together is all part of what this song is about, what this album is about and what stand together is about. >> rebecca: we love that you are here. all you can catch his residency at the blue note jazz club from january 24th to 26th.
