7:03 am
on earth to find an actual american flag. maybe just use this bigger one that is right behind you? this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. good observation. for the children. i like that. welcome to "cbs this morning. we'll begin with breaking news on the wildfire fight in california. it is continuing as you know. crews are battling a new fire that exploded overnight in ventura county. that is northwest of los angeles. it grew in just a few hours to more than 8,000 acres. more than 7,000 people are under evacuation orders at this hour. >> the so-called maria fire is just one of many to erupt in california during this period of dangerous fire conditions. the fi have more than 101,000 acres over 21 days. carter evans is near somis the
7:04 am
latest community to be threatened. when will people there get a break? >> reporter: it looks like they'll get a break later today. we'll talk about that in a second. first i want you to see the embers blowing behind me. this is how the spot fires get started as the embers get thrown out ahead of the flames. you can see the flames burning over here. the good news for firefighters, the high winds that have been fueling these flames really across the state are expected to die down later today. overnight the fast moving maria fire descended upon small agricultural communities known for their citrus orchards and avocado farms. hundreds of firefighters raced to respond, battling back flames as they threatened to breach property lines. but aerial footage showed at least one building ablaze. around 1800 structures are under threat and roughly 7500 people face evacuation orders. >> we've got access issues getting to the actual edges of the fires. >> reporter: ventura county officials warn the mountainous
7:05 am
terrain may make containing the fire a struggle but assured the community it would not see a repeat of 2017's catastrophic thomas fire. that fire engulfed more than 280,000 acres, destroyed nearly 1100 structures, and resulted in two deaths. earlier this week, ventura county was already facing the so-called easy fire, which is now 60% contained. east of los angeles, firefighters yesterday made progress on the hill side fire in this san bernadino neighborhood. >> i was asleep. >> matththis home was one destr by flames. >> i woke up and told her, hey. get the kids and get in the car. >> reporter: there are some firefighters not far from where we are but they seem to be pretty comfortable letting the debris pile burn itself out. they also seemed very confident that this fire will burn a
7:06 am
maximum of 12,000 acres. it's 8,000 right now. the reason they believe 12,000 is because of the direction the fire is burning. it is simply going to run out of vegetation. tony? >> terrifying to imagine waking up with a fire in your back yard. carter evans for us, thank you very much. we have breaking news from northern california where there was a deadly mass shooting at a halloween party overnight. sheriff's say four people were killed and several others wounded in the shooting in arinda northeast of san francisco. it is not clear why the gunfire broke out. multiple law enforcement were called to the scene to manage the massive crowd at the party after local police were overwhelmed. back on this coast, more than 400,000 customers across the mid-atlantic and northeast are without power after severe storms slammed the regions overnight. we're just getting word that a tornado likely hit pennsylvania in delaware county, pennsylvania. officials are assessing the damage this morning. the storms tore down trees and power lines, causing severe
7:07 am
flooding in some areas. chip reid is in washington. chip, good morning. how bad is the damage where you are? >> reporter: well, good morning. here in washington, d.c. we spent most of the night under a tornado watch. fortunately, there were no tornadoes but the winds were howling and they brought down dozens of trees and of course they brought down the power lines with them. torrential rain and winds up to 60 miles an hour took down trees and power lines in several states, leaving tens of thousands without power. north of here in ellicott city, maryland, an area prone to flooding, creeks overran their banks, closing several roads. the storm also slammed parts of pennsylvania and new jersey and brought down trees from new york city to long island. sadly, in new rochelle, new york, a girl who was trick or treating was hit by a limb that fell off a tree, a large limb. we do not know yet what her condition is. the good news is there is no severe weather forecast in this part of the country for today.
7:08 am
>> oh, boy. sorry to hear about that trick or treater. thank you very much, chip. congress has formally approved the first ever impeachment investigation of a president running for re-election. house lawmakers voted yesterday pretty much along party lines to proceed to a new phase. the most serious allegation says president trump withheld military aid to pressure ukraine's president to investigate democrats. the white house calls the entire process a blatantly partisan attempt to destroy the president. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with more on this story. what does the next step look like? >> reporter: this vote paves the way for the first nationally televised impeachment hearings in 21 years. they could get under way in mid november but the schedule is still fluid. republicans had demanded this vote, but they all voted no, saying that they and the president don't get enough rights. >> are we done? >> no.esident impeached? but thank you for asking.
7:09 am
>> reporter: house speaker nancy pelosi stopped by "the late show" with stephen colbert on the heels of an historic house vote. >> what happened today was a continuation of our inquiry that we have, but to set forth the rules of procedure for how we go forward now. >> when do public hearings start? >> they'll be soon. >> could you be vaguer? >> reporter: for now, closed door depositions continue with the president's top russia adviser tim morrison telling lawmakers yesterday that he went straight to white house lawyers after president trump asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate joe biden. morrison said he was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed but he did worry that such an investigation might affect the bipartisan support our ukrainian partners currently experience in congress. in an interview with "the washington examiner" mr. trump called the testimony fantastic. republicans agreed. >> i look forward to the
7:10 am
american people getting to see what he had to say. >> reporter: how intelligence chair adam schiff told cbs news anchor and managing editor norah o'donnell that only classified and personal information will be redacted from the deposition transcripts. >> but i think as soon as early next week we'll be able to start releasing transcripts. >> reporter: republicans will have the right to propose their own witnesses for public hearings though democrats can override them. >> they don't really want to get to the truth. they want to remove a sitting president. >> reporter: mr. trump's lawyers will get the chance to cross examine witnesses, but that right could get revoked. >> one party to a litigation unlawfully blocks the investigation as this president has been doing though we hope he won't continue doing it. you may have to take some steps. we may have to draw adverse inferences or do other things. we'll see. >> reporter: what kind of punishments are you considering? >> i'm not considering anything at the moment. we'll see what happens. >> reporter: republicans say those kinds of ambiguities only
7:11 am
add to the unfairness but democrats argue that the rules are actually quite similar to those that governed the public impeachment proceedings for presidents nixon and clinton. president trump has come up with a novel idea for his own defense. he told "the washington examiner" that he might read the summary of his conversation with the ukrainian president aloud. he described it, anthony, as a sort of fireside chat for television. >> okay. nancy, thank you very much. chief washington correspondent major garrett joins us now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> we heard nancy say we will likely have nationally televised impeachment hearings ahead of us. with this impeachment resolution, what actually changes? >> now the country knows when it is going to see some of the depositions taken as transcripts they can read and evaluate themselves. republicans keep saying they are not going to be the indictment democrats have been describing for weeks. the public wet get to make its own determination and as nancy
7:12 am
said there will be hearings. we should pause for a second to reflect on the gravity of the house vote yesterday. everything that looks divided bitterly in a partisan way appears small. the constitution is not. it doesn't get shrunk by a hard, partisan vote like this. what matters is the house has set an impeachment inquiry in motion. that means the tide for impeaching this president at least in the house appears irreversible. that will be an historic mark. this house and this president will never be able to walk away from it. >> the white house is fighting this of course, major garrett, but there is frustration our white house team has learned, among the aides in the white house because the messaging from the legal team and the coms team is not always coordinated. overall how is the white house pushing back? >> the way it has since the president was inaugurated, with the president and his twitter feed. the anxiety in the white house is the impeachment story is much larger than the mueller investigation, it will only grow
7:13 am
larger, and they know within the white house the president likes to retweet supportive surrogates. the white house keeps saying mr. president let us build you a surrogate team coordinated with the legal team so there are more people on tv you can find defending you. the president says, no. i'm the key defender. he wants to tell the country i'm the only witness that matters. for now at least that strategy will continue. >> major, ivanka trump weighed in on the impeachment fight for the first time tweeting a quote from thomas jefferson referencing being surrounded by enemies and spies in washington. i think she ended it with some things never change, dad. so what do you make of that and how is it being received in d.c.? >> clearly, a not so veiled reference to people who work within the trump white house who have gone willingly to testify before the house impeachment inquiry. that means there is some dissatisfaction or sense of being surrounded by people who are disloyal. one thing i would point out about that quote, it was thomas jefferson in a letter. he wasn't even president yet.
7:14 am
it was before he was inaugurated. so the spies and things weren't besetting him as president. the next line i think is interesting, also, in the very same letter. i pant for that society where all is peace and harmony, where we love and are beloved by every object we see. not then not now. >> a long way to go. may the panting continue. >> i'll leave that to you, gayle. >> thank you, major. the impeachment inquiry dominates national headlines and 2020 democratic hopefuls are in des moines right now for one of the most important events before the iowa caucuses. 14 candidates will take the stage tonight at the liberty and justice celebration. polls say that senator elizabeth warren has a five-point lead in iowa. cbs news special correspondent alex wagner is cohost of showtime's the circus. she is outside the wells fargo arena in downtown des moines. alex, always good to see you. how is the impeachment inquiry
7:15 am
impacting voters there? >> reporter: well, it doesn't have quite the impact here as it does in washington. here in iowa, bread and butter issues like healthcare and jobs still matter the most. tonight's dinner is an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate the power of their message and the strength of their ground game. >> are those balloons? >> they're actually called thunder sticks. >> reporter: on the eve of one of iowa's largest political events of the season campaigns are scrambling. >> hey, joan. this is sydney with cory booker's campaign. >> reporter: the liberty and justice celebration is a chance for democratic candidates like kamala harris and cory booker to define the narrative and raise expectations. >> thank you, iowa! >> reporter: it's where then senator barack obama's presidential campaign was jolted to life in 2007 helping catapult him past hillary clinton and putting him on the path toward the nomination. >> if they aren't in the top two or three it is over for them. >> reporter: matt paul was
7:16 am
hillary clinton's iowa director for her 2016 presidential campaign. does impeachment matter at all? does it make any kind of impact among the voting electorate in iowa? >> i don't think it is going to outweigh the importance of healthcare, on the specific issues, co-pays, premiums, prescription drugs. that's what iowans are dialed in on. >> reporter: iowa polling expert ann selzer says impeachment and mates the national audience but in her state the issue plays differently. >> when speaker pelosi announced she was starting the inquiry i thought i'm just going to keep my ear to the ground and see what happens here and it was strangely silent. really, i have not heard that many iowans sort of start jumping up and down on either side. >> reporter: while it is a large and volatile field what i can tell you from the ground here in iowa is there is enormous amount of interest in senator elizabeth
7:17 am
warren and mayor pete buttigieg and there is a lot of concern about the prospects of the current national front-runner vice president joe biden. gayle? >> alex, their perspective is interesting to hear from the iowa voters. a good reminder there is a whole big world outside of washington, d.c. let's talk about kamala harris for just a second. she is shaking up her campaign, laying off some staff members and shifting a lot of resources to iowa. what does that say to you about her strategy? >> reporter: well, kamala harris is short on cash. there is a perceived lack of enthusiasm. she has been languishing near the bottom of the national polls. but i can tell you if you dig into the iowa polling data, harris is a lot of people's second and third choice which means she may end up having a strong finish in the iowa caucuses. that could be critical in terms of momentum to keep her in this race and convincing folks to give her money. they are all in on iowa, gayle. >> all right. beto making a good showing behind you today. thank you very much, alex. the circus airs sundays on

7:32 am
even know about. our investigative correspondent anna werner explains how their lives have been thrown into turmoil. how could this have happened? i guess they are shocked. >> that is a good question. over the years many families in grand junction, colorado sought help for male infertility from the same doctor. they wanted to have children through anonymous sperm donors. they now say dna shows their donors were all actually the same man, the doctor himself. >> i was completely shocked, like an out of body experience is the best way to describe it. >> reporter: the discovery that changed maia emmons-boring's life came through an ancestry dna kit and an e-mail from a woman claiming to be a half sister from a different father. her husband told her -- >> he said i think this means your dad is not your biological father. just hearing those words just -- i sobbed. >> reporter: she and one of her sisters were born with the help of what their doctor told their parents would be anonymous sperm
7:33 am
donors but as ancestry.com led her to more half siblings emmons-boring says a dna trail led her directly to the doctor, himself, gynecologist dr. paul jones. her family now alleges in a lawsuit that dr. jones used his own, fresh sperm to impregnate her mother twice and that he is actually the biological father of both maia and her younger sister along with at least four other half siblings around the country. >> i'm hurt. i'm disgusted by what my biological father did. what kind of person is he? >> reporter: he is a person ryan gray of broomfield, colorado says he knew nothing about until he got a message from maia emmons-boring. >> i had to read the message several times. just to comprehend what she was saying. >> reporter: he, too, learned through the dna connection that the dad he had grown up with was not his biological father and that his mother's doctor just
7:34 am
may be. >> he makes me very angry that he could have treated my mother or any other woman at that point like this. >> reporter: patricia gray is ryan's mother. >> we went to a fertility clinic for help. we didn't go there to ask for a doctor donor. it was supposed to be anonymous. >> reporter: the gray family also plans to sue. >> i think the one question that we really want answered is why? why do that to these families? please you don't do that. he violated me. and right now that is unforgiveable. >> reporter: attorney patrick fitzgerald represents five families so far. >> because it was more likely than not that he used his own sperm frequently over the span of at least 40 years, we expect that this number is going to increase dramatically.
7:35 am
>> reporter: dr. jones and his attorney did not respond to our request for comment, but the now 80-year-old doctor, who is still licensed to practice medicine in colorado, did have this to say recently to a reporter for denver tv station kusa. >> would you give a dna sample? >> no. >> why not? >> because i don't want to have any incriminating evidence against me. >> reporter: meanwhile, maia emmons-boring says she is still struggling. >> it's been a trial and it's hard. it's emotional. some days i don't want to get out of bed. i mean, it's just more than i want to face. it's hard for my children to deal with. i'm just really grateful for the support system that i do have. >> that lawsuit against dr. jones alleges medical negligence, lack of informed consent, fraud, and battery. but there are no criminal laws in colorado regarding artificial insemination. these families hope now to change that. >> this story has a big ooh
7:36 am
factor to it. >> fresh. >> what does that mean? >> fresh as opposed to frozen. you know, they weren't always able to use frozen sperm in this industry so you would have to use fresh sperm which would be within a certain tight time window. >> his comment was interesting, too, when he said i don't want to incriminate myself. >> we had hoped to hear more from him. >> the big question is how many more families out there. >> and will regulations be coming? thank you very much. millions of people in california have been hit with intentional blackouts meant to prevent new wildfires. ahead, a closer look at the troubled power company pg&e and the economic and even life threatening impact of those blackouts. if you're on the go, subscribe to our podcast. ul a he he you'll hear the top stories in less than 20 minutes. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪

8:18 am
out of discussing mental illness. so, this morning we're hearing from four people whose children died by suicide. suicide is the second leading cause of death among teenagers in this country. a recent study found that teen suicide jumped 56% from 2007 to 2017. mental health experts say bullying and social media have contributed to the rise. correspondent jericka duncan spoke to these parents. what do they hope to accomplish by speaking out? glad that they are. >> they really want to help others. that's what all four of them said, it comes down to helping more people. in our conversation with four parents, we saw incredible strength in the midst of grief, and each had a message of awareness. ian russell believes social media's partly responsible for the death of his 14-year-old daughter, molly. freddie avila's 13-year-old daughter, rosalie, died by suicide after he says she experienced extreme bullying in school. camika shelby's 15-year-old son,
8:19 am
nigel, died earlier this year after coming out as gay. and carolyn zahnow lost her 18-year-old son, cameron, to suicide in 2005 after he battled years of depression and addiction. >> nigel was such a joy. he was always being silly. he loved to dance. he loved to sing. >> she was an angel. she wanted to be a lawyer. i asked her, why do you want to be a lawyer? because i want to make the world a better place. >> cameron. he was a very good artist, photographer. generally just a very sweet, caring kid. >> molly was adorable, one of the most caring people that i've ever known, and she was obviously also very good at keeping secrets, because she managed to keep from us as a family that she was suffering in this way. we had no idea. >> statistics show that in nine out of ten suicides, the person had diagnosable mental health issues. raise your hand if you believe
8:20 am
your child had mental health issues or had been diagnosed with a mental health issue. >> definitely, yeah. definitely. >> and i know now that bullying causes mental health. they made a video about her during school hours. a guy goes, look at this ugly girl sitting over here by herself, and it went viral inside the school. and after that, that took her to a dark place, and that's when i started losing her. >> in molly's case, was she bullied, or do you feel like it was more social media? >> the only thing that we did find was on social media, which invited people who were depressed into a club, invited people who may have been self-harming into a club. it normalized those behaviors. it just said time and time again, i'm a lost cause, you're a lost cause, join our club. and i do think she had a sense of complete worthlessness at the end of her life. >> in his suicide letter, he said, "i tried to be normal, but
8:21 am
i couldn't." it broke me. he said, "mom, i can't help that i'm the way that i m." >> african-american youth are significantly more likely to die from suicide compared to caucasians. why do you think that is? >> the pressure. you're going to go through a lot in this world being a black man. you're going to go through twice as much being a gay black man. >> does this make it harder to process because they were teens, they weren't adults? >> it's selfish, but i'm like, well, i'll never be a grandmother, never see him get married. and then that's purely selfish, but it's true. >> never going to graduation, never see her get dressed for prom or become the person she wanted to be. it's hard. it's hard losing your baby. >> when you guys think back, were there warning signs?
8:22 am
>> the warning signs were a teenager spending a bit more time in her bedroom and separating that slightly normal, awkward behavior that a teenager has as they grow up from the warning signs that can alert a parent to the dangers of anxiety, depression, or suicide. i think it's so hard for any parent to do. >> nigel's case was a little bit different simply because he told me that he was having thoughts of suicide. i started taking him to see therapists. i actually thought he was getting better. he had started doing normal stuff again, wanting to play with his friends. and at that moment when i finally started to let up and i thought he was okay, that's when he really wasn't. >> and carolyn, you experienced this loss in 2005. what advice do you have to these parents here today? >> well, the first couple years, you know, you're in a big fog.
8:23 am
you eventually come out, and i think all of us are out to help other people. i have become more spiritual, not in a churchy kind of way, but another way. i know cameron's with me, probably like right now. >> what do you think he's saying right now? >> that their choice hurts us, but they are in a safe place. they're okay. >> i know what molly said in one of her notes -- "i love you, and i know you love me. i'm so sorry, but i just have to do this." "i'll see you in a little while when you're old and gray." >> i want to be able to talk about nigel's story in hopes that it helps the next kid or the next parent, because i know he would have wanted me to. >> and a special thank you to those parents for sharing their story. ian russell has been very outspoken about the
8:24 am
responsibility of social media companies to police suicide-related content on their platforms. just this week, instagram strengthened its policy, and freddie avila is pushing for rosalie's law in california, which would make bullying a crime. some of the signs to look out fo are isolation, anxiety, substance abuse, mood swings, and erratic sleep patterns. the national suicide prevent lifeline is 800-273-8255. it's available 24/7. there was not a dry eye in that -- >> i know. incredibly powerful. >> producers behind the camera -- >> one of the tough things to see is one mother said she thought her son was getting better. >> that's what scares me, anthony, as a parent. >> yes. >> you think they are getting better and then that happens. >> also, the warning signs are things that teenagers are doing anyway, so it's hard to know what's problematic and what's -- >> a crisis. >> and we spoke to psychologists before reinterviewed the parents and one of the things they said
8:25 am
is people need to speak and know it's all right to ask questions. are you okay? >> and are you having thoughts. because you think you're triggering something, but y 're this is a kpix5 news morning update. good morning. it is 8:25. i want to take you straight to the bay bridge where we were following this situation here. all lanes were shirt down temporarily for police activity. an investigation into a shooting that han e pend at the bay bridge. they responded to a traffic incident on the west side. shots were fired on the eastbound side and they shut down lanes temporarily. there is better news. traffic is now moving through there, but unfortunately we're seeing a big backup because of that. this is as you work your way

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is that time to bring you "talk of the table." it is where we pick stories we want to share with you and with each other and we too it at the table, which is why it's "talk of the table." >> "talk of the table." >> you first. >> i will talk at the table. there was an unusual ceremony at the state's attorney's office in chicago. a therapy dog named hadi was sworn in this week. look at her putting her paw on the -- and swearing herself in. i love this. she'll work in the victim witness unit. her job will be to comfort children and other victims as they go through the criminal justice system. she is the office's first emotional support dog. she will handle up to 200 cases a year. she's just 2 years old and was
8:31 am
trained, actually, by inmates at a prison in southwestern illinois, but she's going to have a really critical role and a couple police officers will take care of her. >> yes. she's going to make a difference. we can tell already. i'll go second. this comes from chicago. a fugitive in illinois was apparently, how do we say this, in the halloween spirit. police were able to convince him to surrender by using photo-shop. it started when officers posted a notice on facebook this week for brandon conte. he was wanted for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. conte himself commented on the post, saying "i'm appalled! where's my costume?" so, the sheriff's office altered the photo and put conte in a sailor suit and wrote "done. we held up our end of the bargain. now you do the same and sail yourself on in here and turn yourself in." conte replied, "that's awesome! i'll be there before noon. please have the pick ward done and ready." later that day, conte surrendered. so i'm thinking conte and the officials in illinois both have a really good sense of humor.
8:32 am
>> yes. >> mr. conte should not drive while drinking, if that -- >> something about that banter tells me that was not the first time they met. >> that's true. they have history. >> a long relationship there. >> they've got history, it seems. >> i'm thinking about my harry potter crazed older son. i know there are a lot of kids out there, and they have something to look forward to potentially on airbnb. ordinary muggles can rent the english house where harry potter grew up. this is the outside of the devere house. it was filmed in "harry potter and the deathly hallows part 1." this is the house where the boy who lived became the boy who lived. val volland more visits, killed harry's parents. i'm getting nods from some people. i'm kind of familiar. anyway, the inside of the house doesn't look like the movie. it's an english country home, but you can rent it and stay the night there on airbnb for about 142 bucks. this is in suffolk, england. so, if you can get over there on a flight, it's a pretty good deal, $142. >> yeah. >> this would be a good weekend
8:33 am
because you get an extra hour. >> you get an extra hour, right. >> you get an extra hour, so go take a trip for the weekend to england. we like it there. here we go. for the first time, a major feature film is shedding light on the life of harriet tubman. she became an icon of freedom in the face of the underground railroad. tubman made 13 trips over ten years, leading more than 70 people to freedom. the movie "harriet" chronicles tubman's escape from slavery and how she became an underground railroad conductor. cynthia erivo plays harriet tubman. after arriving in philadelphia, harriet meets abolitionists and underground railroad leader played by leslie odom jr. harriet soon wants to go back south to rescue her family. >> rescuing slaves requires skill and careful planning. it requires reading, harriet. can you read a sign or a map? can you read at all? >> i put my intention on trying to hear god's voice more clearly. >> do you know what would happen
8:34 am
if you got caught? they would torture you until you pointed them right to this office. you got lucky, harriet. and there's nothing more you can do. >> don't you tell me what i can't do! >> don't you tell her what she can't do, leslie! cynthia erivo and leslie odom jr. join us here at the table. good to see you both. >> good to see you. >> hi. >> i was a little embarrassed, because when i started thinking about harriet tubman, i kind of thought, i really don't know anything. she was a leader of the underground railroad. she was a conductor. i knew that she was a small woman, but i didn't realize the physicality of what you had to do. so, i'm wondering how you prepared physically and mentally for this role, cynthia. >> i was training before we started to get into -- you know, i'm a fitness fanatic, so i went at it really hard and made sure i had a spin bike because i wanted to keep up my stamina once i was on set, so i would work out once i was on set so i didn't have to play catch-up while doing all that stuff because the stunt work is me. >> is you. >> yes. and so, and one thing that was
8:35 am
really wonderful about learning about her is that she had a deep connection to her spirituality. >> yes. >> so i guess that gave me the space to look at mine. >> to go in -- >> to go in and be a bit braver with my faith and say my prayers and really, like, i guess embrace it, so that was really helpful to create the space for. >> and gayle is right, this is a figure from history you think you know a little bit about, but there's so much more to know. >> right. >> what surprised you the most in learning about this character? >> i think it was that, that it was really her faith, what she believes were god's directions to the way that she needed to go. and i didn't know that that was such a huge part of her story. >> yeah. >> that and the fact that she was ingenious. she was the one that hired the lawyer. she saved the little bits of money that she would get from being hired out to hire the lady who drew up the papers that proved that her mother was supposedly free. >> and using song -- >> using song to communicate to people -- >> when it was safe to go out,
8:36 am
different tempos. >> coded. so, the verse would tell you where you were supposed to be, whether it was time to go, when she was leaving, when she was there. >> yeah. >> leslie -- >> and was she the first -- go ahead. >> you know a little bit about playing historical figures. you were in "hamilton." >> aaron burr. >> yeah, and why did this story, which is such a critical part of history, do you think take so long to get to the screen? >> i think for a long time, there was this data around hollywood that, you know, stories about black life didn't make money, certainly stories starring african-american women wouldn't make money nationally or internationally. and i think more recently we have data finally that really, really proves that to not be true. so we're seeing our stories being told on the large screen, which is amazing. >> mm-hmm. >> i know one harriet tubman expert described her as bad, bold, beautiful, and black. she was a superhero before we even knew superheroes. they described her as that day's serena williams. so, what did it mean to you to
8:37 am
play her? and you certainly know that you've gotten a little blowback. people have been drinking cups of haterade because you are british, saying why is she playing that role? number one, did that hurt your feelings? and what did it mean playing her to you? >> i mean, i'm human, so you know, those things -- you can't not have been affected, but at the same time, i completely understand it. >> you do? >> well, yes, because we don't get to see these stories very often where we get to look at ourselves. there are very few and far between where there's a woman of color at the center of the story in a period piece doing action and fully rounded. it doesn't happen very often, and there's this woman, that means a lot to everyone. >> well, no disrespect to kate winslet, but it's not like -- if they had cast kate winslet, a white woman, british, as harriet tubman, i could see the outcry, but i really didn't understand the criticism of you. >> well, you know, i think it's because these characters are rare, you know? but i'm hoping that this simply means that it's the first that is made, but it's not the only
8:38 am
one. >> yes. >> i hope it just encourages more of these films. >> me, too. >> because we have plenty of abraham lincoln, plenty of winston churchills, but we definitely need more harriet tubmans. >> yes. >> so i hope this is the first of very many. >> leslie, you were saying this was a different experience for you working on this movie. >> yes. we're talking about the patriarchy in society, which is overdue conversation that we're having, and this was really my first experience. i realized on set at some point, you know, experiencing matriarchy in some form. >> yes. >> you know, my lead actress was a woman, my director, my lead producer -- >> so, how did that feel? >> you know -- >> how'd that feel? good question, anthony. >> not better or worse, but different. >> yes. >> how does it feel different? >> um, it -- well -- [ laughter ] >> delicate territory here. >> because it's not better or worse. it's not better or worse. it's really not. my "hamilton" experience was all men. all men led that experience. i guess i was just -- it wasn't that different, i guess, you
8:39 am
know what i mean, but -- >> it's different -- >> but it's taken me 20 years to have the experience, you know what i mean? it's the kind of thing like what took so long? >> i heard conditions were grueling and deborah martin said if harriet got through what she got through, then we can get through this. >> absolutely. we knew that at the other end, there would be someone with a coat and we'd be able to go back inside and be fine. >> well done. >> really powerful. >> excellent performance. >> well done. i'm so glad you did it. cynthia erivo and leslie odom jr., thank you.
