captioning funded by cbs good morning. it's december 16th, 2017. welcome to "cbs this morning: saturday." bringing tax reform home for the holidays. the gop puts forth their final plan, and it looks like they have the votes to make it happen. plus, the president bashes the state of the fbi on hi way to speak to its graduates. hear what the attorney general thought of mr. trump's comments. one of the most contentious races continues. why roy moore thinks he actually won the race and how he needs money to prove it. and delivering the spirit of

the season. how a single tree grew into thousands of displays for those who would otherwise miss out on a holiday tradition. but we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> why do you think the wealthiest need another tax cut? >> well, that's exactly wrong. >> republican leaders say done deal. >> the bill's authors were tight-lipped until the very end. >> what has happened to the child tax credit. >> i'm not going to comment. >> this is a big deal for president trump, his first legislative victory. >> mixed messages. >> it's a shame what happened to the fbi. let's put it this way. there's absolutely no collusion. >> i share the view that the fbi is not functioning at a high level all over the country. >> paul manafort is now free to leave his home. the judge released him from home confinement in exchange for $10 million bail.

>> a snow effect heading from michigan to new york city. >> shifting winds complicating the efforts of the firefighters. >> right behind us the hills start to light up. >> a rough arrest. >> officers say the incident is under review. >> one cop in michigan finding himself face-to-face with an out-of-control semi. the cop somehow able to swerve off the road. >> all that -- >> spacex has become the first company to reuse a launch rocket on a nasa mission. >> makes a pinpoint landing. >> -- and all that matters. >> all we know is that the comedy -- oh, i've been revealed. there were more than 100 entries from 86 countries. >> reporter: -- on "cbs this morning: saturday." >> this game was crazy. triple overtime. >> here's westbrook racing up the floor coast to coast, and he throws it down. oh, the hammer from russell

westbrook. >> 119, russell westbrook says, bye-bye, go home, go home. and welcome to the weekend, everyone. i'm anthony mason. >> and i'm alex wagner. we begin this morning with passage of the biggest change to the nation's tax code in decades appears to be all but certain. after weeks of wavers prospects, lawmakers appear to have enough votes to pass the sweeping measure affecting every taxpayer and business in the u.s. passage would give president trump his first major legislative victory. >> but the bill's projected to add almost $1.5 trillion to the budget deficit over the coming decade. once holdouts, senators marco rubio and bob corker have now agreed to support the final version of the bill putting it on track for a vote in the days ahead. errol barnett is on chilapitol

hill. >> you're right. there is quite a lot of fine print, so lawmakers will likely spend the weekend going through the bill's more than 500 pages. >> i think it's going to do very, very well. i think that we are going to be in a position to pass something as early as next week. >> president trump is bullish on getting a tax cut bill on his desk by christmas. the final republican plan retains seven personal tax brackets with rates dropping for almost everyone. a family earned $75,000 a year, for example, would see its marginal rate drop from 15% to 12%. >> everybody's lives will be better off because of tax reform because of the tax relief families get. >> republican leaders made a last-minute change friday, boosting the refundable portion of the child tax credit to

$1,400. that means low income parents pocket that money even if they don't owe taxes. >> this is good for working families. >> that earned back the vote of florida's marco rubio and fellow holdout bob corker. they called this bill a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make u.s. businesses more productive and competitive. >> it's a monumental con job. >> they call it a sham and say it's a big giveaway to american businesses. >> american people by substantial numbers believe this is not good for them. >> it slashes the bill permly from 35% to 21% while most of the tax cuts expire in 2025. there is a catch for republicans. arizona's john mccain and mississippi's thad cochran missed votes all week due to health issues. they're hopeful for a return. >> i think john mccain will be

here. >> now, the white house is keenly aware of the slim republican majority here and the importance of this bill to president trump's domestic agenda, so it is delaying a scheduled trip to the middle east next week by vice president mike pence just in case his tie-breaking vote is needed. >> errol barnett. thanks. his opponent in last tuesday's election has not conceded and is promising to contest the outcome. roy moore's campaign asking for contributions to fund a voter fraud investigation. jones won the contentious rah race by about 20,000 votes. president trump says it's time to move on. >> should roy moore concede, i think he should. he tried. i want to support the person

running. we need the seat. we'd like to have the seat. >> there are still ballots to be counted, but they're unlikely to change the outcome of the election or trigger an automatic recount. alabama's secretary of state says his office has found no evidence of voting irregularities. president rump unleashed a scathing attack on the credibility of the fbi. on friday he took aim at the agency's leadership. the fbi is investigating the 2016 trump campaign and possible collusion with the russians, but the agency also received support from the nation's top law enforcement officer. julianna goldman has the story. >> reporter: moments before departing for an event at the fbi's training academy, president trump lashed out again at the bureau whose reputation, he says, is in tatters. >> it's a level of anger at what they've been witnessing with the fbi. it's certainly very sad. >> mr. trump seized on the revelation that the fbi agent

involved in the russian investigation sent text midges disparaging president trump. that agent was fired by special counsel robert mueller. d e spite president trump's harsh criticism, attorney general jeff sessions praised the fbi. >> i don't share the view that the fbi is not functioning at a high level. >> reporter: it was sessions' recusal that led to the appointment of the special counsel. the president said it's a democratic hoax and an excuse for hillary clinton's loss. he also opened the door for a pardon for his former national security adviser who earlier this month pled guilty to lying to the fbi about his russia contacts. >> i don't want to talk about pardons for michael flynn yet. we'll see what happens. >> reporter: but ty cobb said there's no consideration for a pardon. on friday he said he's concerned

that republicans are heating the cause of president trump and trying to shut down their investigation. he said republicans haven't scheduled any witnesses after next friday. for "cbs this morning: saturday," julianna goldman, the white house. for some perspective on all this, we tevin to cbs news political director steve chaggaris. good morning. >> good morning. >> how did they get it done? >> you heard they were waiting for republicans on the child tax credit. bob corker was concerned about the deficits this would create. but everybody's on board. it's pretty amazing all republicans are backing this thing, which is something we haven't seen with legislation on capitol hill at all this year. >> steve, what are the political implications of this bill for republicans in 2018 given the speed with which this is going to probably be passed through congress? >> so there's two things. one, republicans have been talking about since they were unable to get obamacare repealed

and replaced, there was an impetus to get something done. you remember paul ryan said we have to learn how to republican party. we don't know the answer. voters won't have a sense because these tax cuts won't take part until next year. they won't feel it until they file taxes in 2018. >> democrats certainly have talking points. >> they'll have talking points, but they're standard talking points. that's what they're going to say anyway about republicans, but will voters feel the impact immediately? >> probably not. they probably won't feel it until after. >> they suggest it's not a popular bill. >> that's right. >> is this -- could this come back to haunt republicans the way obamacare did the democrats?

>> it could. what they're banking on is hoping there's a boost in the economy because of this. they're hoping it brings the corporate tax rates down. that will continue to help the stockmark stockmarket, boost the economy, and point to that in november and say, hey, look, you got us in here to fix the economy. they hope they can run on that next year. >> understanding, though, that the majority of these tax cuts don't take effect until 2019. >> that's right. >> it's going be a long one here. >> right. but wall street is going to be very excited when the bill gets passed. so they'll see the stockmarket going up. again, that image -- they could at least argue the economy is improving. maybe that helps their cause. >> what about doug jones and roy moore. the fight is not over. >> it's over for most people. you had the president come out and say it's time to end this thing. roy moore is hoping whatever uncounted balance will change the count here, but the way the law is in alabama, if the margin

of error is 0.5% or less, it would trigger an automatic recount. it's not going get to that point. what moore is hoping is perhaps he could start his own recount, however, the laws are fairly clear in alabama that you can't do that in the senate race. however, some people say you might be able to do it. it would cost him a lot of money do it. he doesn't have any money left. i don't know if he could pay for a recount if he could do it. >> was roy moore the outlier or was the fact that the president and steve bannon could not deliver a safe republican seat, is that a indication where things may stand next year at the midterms? >> that's a really good question. the republicans have been saying from the get-go, there's no good outcome. they lose a seat in the senate. when jones is sworn in, it's down a 51-49, which is not good for their prospects in terms of passing legislation. but for the politics, the silver lining is this really hurt steve

bannon. he went full behind roy moore, lost a seat in the very republican state because of the quality of candidate in roy moore. yes, he's an outlier in some sense, but you saw the president go out and try to campaign for him. democrats think this is going to be a prediction of what's going to happen in the midterms because it's a referendum on president trump. but roy moore had a lot of problems. >> one would assume in the senate race the democrats are going to be fighting in the campaign. roy moore will be a litmus test. >> but he won't be in office. that will be in the rear view by next year. >> it's going to be an interesting next year. >> oh, absolutely. can't wait. >> steve chaggaris. thanks. tomorrow morning john dickerson's guests will include steve mnuchin, james lang fornd

and bernie san dors, senator of vermont. snow and ice made roads hazardous. lake-effect snow made for white out conditions for drivers in western pennsylvania. in california firefighters are braced for more high winds today. some santa barbara residents have been dousing their homes in the hopes of keeping them from burning down. for more on the weather we turn to meteorologist ed curran of our chicago station wbbm-tv. good morning. >> good morning. lake-effect snow off ontario. they could pick up another 6 inches or snow. there's snow here. only about 2 to 4 inches. now, look at the winds we have. this is nevada. this is california. wind advisories that are up and

gail warnings. we have winds in northern california to southern california as well into sunday at 8:00 p.m. now let's take a look at the temperatures across the country. 69 in l.a. 34 in billings. 32 in chicago and a chilly 37 degrees in new york city. alex? >> meteorologist ed curran of our chicago station wbbm-tv. thanks, ed. in indonesia at least three people were killed when a powerful earthquake rocked the densely populated island of java overnight. it was felt in the capital of jakarta 124 miles away. authorities say the victims were in buildings that had collapsed. the tremors forced 50 patients to be evacuated from the hospital. it quickly sounded a tsunami warning and they evac yachted areas, but no tsunami was

detected. a recent study finds 95% of americans are now using cell phones. that's prompted public health officials in california to issue groundbreaking guidelines to limit exposure to cell phone radiation. john blackstone has more. >> reporter: california officials say the warning about keeping a cell phone pressed up against your ear is largely because radioactivity can be damaging to your ear. >> children are starting at the age of 10 and using the cell phone for lots of activities. >> they recommend using the speaker phone or head phones. sleeping at least an arm's length away from it and avoiding keeping it in your pocket. it comes after three-dwreer-long legal battle by joe moskowitz who forced them to release a long secret study of cell phone risk. >> has california been

suppressing information. >> i would say so. they wouldn't call that. they would say science isn't strong enough. >> reporter: they say why science is still evolving there's a link between cell phone use and brain cancer, lower sperm count and headaches. >> certainly there are those who say this going to cause panic. >> people are not going to give up these devices. that's not what we're seeking. we're seeking that people take the appropriate cautions and reduce the risk substantially. >> reporter: moskowitz sees parallels with decades of whether smoking was a risk. >> unlike sugar, cell phones are useful for something. >> reporter: he studied the dangers of smoking. he's watching the science on cell phones. >> the case is by no means evidence but there's cause to be concern. i don't carry a cell phone.

>> reporter: the food & drug administration says on its website the risk is probably very small but suggests using speaker mode or a headset. and apple including a warning of sorts on all iphones, but it's not easy to find. you have to go to setting s you have to go to setting ettin general, above, legal, and exposure and then they suggest you use speaker or head phones to reduce radio emissions. john blackstone, cbs news, san francisco. politico reports a pennsylvania judge is blocking a white house effort to reduce access to birth control. the injunction issued friday temporarily stops the government from enforcing rules that makes it easier for companies to claim a religious or moral objection and then not grant contraception under okay carry.

it took effect in october. the "washington post" says they're banning seven phrases. they are vulnerable, entitlement, diversity, transgender, fetus, evidence-based, and science-based. the words cannot be used in documents being prepared for next year's budget. a senior cdc leader did not say why the words are being banned. >> interesting list. >> uh-huh. the "hill" reports lisa bloom sought to arrange payments for women who made or considered making alleged sexual misconduct claims against donald trump during the presidential campaign. bloom reportedly offered to sell the women's stories to media outlets in exchange for a commission, and she reportedly arranged for a donor to pay off one woman's mortgage. bloom says securing the money was not done to pressure the women into talking but to help them pay for security and

relocation if they felt unsafe. she did not identify the donors. "the kansas city star" reports a democrat candidate has called off a claim. a lawsuit was filed by andrea ramsey by a male subordinate in 2005. it was settled by ramsey's employer a year later. she denies any wrongdoing. in a statement of raised awareness about her harassment she said we're in a moment where rough justice stands in place of careful annalysis, nuance, and due process. jerry richardson is being investigated for alleged workplace misconduct. a spokesman for the team would not provide specifics about the allegation or whether it was coming from a current or former employee. an outside law firm will conduct

the investigation. "business insider"s report firefox took a marketing stunt too far. it started when the option of instai installing called looking glass appeared on the browser. most people believed they'd installed a virus. even mozilla accused its company of toying with an application indistinguishable from malware. and kwtv reports santa is having one of his letters returned to sender. an oklahoma woman went to a garage sale and bought a storage union only to discover a dear santa letter from 1973 buried in her purchase. she posted the request for some walkie-talkies on facebook. the writer's sister responded and is having the letter

returned to her. it's not clear if she'll answer the letter's request or surprise her brother on christmas day. >> it's amazing how walkie-talkies is. they're leaders in their fields, and some have seen the careers of colleaguesism ploed over sexual harassment allegations. ahead we'll hear what an all-male panel has to say about the "me too" impact. and later a simple ad to get rid of a christmas tree. it turned into a movement

welcome back to "cbs this morning: saturday." still to come, journalists who won't be intimidated, holding the powerful to account. a story with resonance for our times is told in the new movie "the post." we'll talk with one of its stars. and it started with a single tree and a single sentence. it has since changed christmas for thousands of families. we'll introduce you to this season's saving charity in this show. we'll continue with the continuing dialogue of sexual harassment and allegations. it's led to a reckoning. dozens of powerful women -- powerful well known men have been publicly accused in recent

weeks fueled in part by the "me too" movement on social media. >> earlier in the week we sat down with five accomplished women. this week we gathered men to talk about it. the group included hollywood writer, producer and others and celebrity chef. all of them discussed the "me too mts movement and its impact on their industries. >> as you watch the story unfold, every day there's a new story. every day i'm sure there's fear. where are you as this all unfolds. judd. >> it's certainly a tidal wave. how terrible must the

environment be that right now as a result of the internet and as a result of just, you know, confluence of events, people feel safe speaking up. >> just this week ken freeman, mario batali, high-profile restauranteurs. it's gone unchecked for decades. so what's the answer here, tom? >> there's a cultural shift happening right now. that's where the struggle is. until we take it a step further and say what can we do in our industry to make sure those women are not only safe, but economically there are structures in place that actually can see them thrive. >> men are kind of grouped together from a very young age, and whether it's athletic teams or in locker rooms or fraternities where you're amongst a collective group of men, there becomes a vernacular that is negative toward women

and there becomes an expectation of other men to place ideology on conquering women. >> and, leland, that brings to the floor the question of sort of masculinity and how young men are indoctrinated at an early age. >> i'm a "me too." i was 5 years old. the older kids were like, hey, i'm going to have fun with this young little boy. i talk about it in my book because i talk about how can help kids get over it. so many who are abused end up abusers themselves or alcoholics, especially if they don't get help. >> we talk about it. so much of this conversation is about men and women. what is the problem about? >> i think there needs to be a

shifting of thinking like treating women as weaker sex, that they need to be protected somehow. i'm very fortunate enough to be surrounded by extremely strong women in my life who don't put up with any of this kind of stuff, so i think a man's role becomes a lot about listening. >> when we're talking about ending domestic violence, ending sexual assault, i can educate other young men. i can stop it myself. and that's a really empowering thing for us men to realize and also a really convicting thing to say, look, it's in your hands. you're the perpetrators, you can stop it. >> what should happen to the men who have been accused of sexual predation and harassment? should you be allowed to have your career back? >> i'm least interested in what is going to happen to the men. what i'm interested in is how are we going to empower women? how are we going to change the situation? >> the louis c.k.'s of the world are not going to give a

reaction. what about the chef working at some third rate hotel in nebraska somewhere who sexually harassed women and gets outed. he'll just move to another town where no one knows his face and he'll get another job. >> you said something that's really powerful. you said the reason they've been silenced is because of greed. what did you mean by that? >> most people are self-serving. they don't want to be the person who says, we need to stop hurting these people. they don't want to make a scene. they don't want to be that loud mouth -- you know, harvey weinstein's hurting people, let's all not work with him. you have someone who's been doing it for decades and you have a lot of people around who knew it was happening and nobody said we we'vet to shut this down, this is getting crazy. >> you know, it was so

interesting to talk to these guys. not only are they animated by the conversation but they feel a sense of responsibility and ur jen circumstance and in a way it's incumbent upon them to be leaders and i think that's energized them in a lot of ways. >> i think judd apatow made a very pournt point which is until the economic imbalance of power is addressed, it's very hard to really correct this. >> well, wleerking at a seismic reconfiguring of the landscape of power and money. all right. there is a new anthem in our nation's capitol and it's just a revitalization of the city's waterfront district. ahead we'll take a tour of the anthem music club a

cardio health factors. the study looked at hidden factors like plaque buildup in arteries. here to discuss the findings, dr. tara narula. great to see you this morning. >> good morning. >> what are the predictors? >> one of the holy grails is trying to predict who's going have a heart attack and stroke before it happens. it can be silent until you have an event. what do we use? we use traditional risk factors, do you have high blood pressure, do you smoke. what this is telling us is that may not be good enough. 50% who had normal risk factors had plaque in their arteriearte. not 70 or 80. these were 40 and 50-year-olds. one third hat optimal plaque in their arteries. one was being male and have bad

ldl. it may hold the key. >> so as this study focuses on our artery health, what should we take away from it in terms of preventing this? >> so, again, it comes back to what can we really control partially. that is cholesterol. ldl. there's been a lot of controversy. does cholesterol really matter. it does. we have a lot of research. here's another study. not only does it matter, but pay attention early. everyone should start getting screened and know their numbers as early as age 20. the other thing about the study is even ldl numbers that were considered normal like around 150 to 160, about 60% of those numbers had plaque in their arteries. so really it seems that once you go above an ldo of 50 or 60, which is pretty low, you start to pay attention. diet, exercise, weight loss that matters. next up still on the topic of heart health but this t affecting newborn babies.

some have demanded screening for critical congenital heart disease. >> they looked at the impact of the screening policies. researchers examined data from 2007 to 2013 looking at infant death rates. i found nearly 3,000 resulted from critical congenital heart disease. they looked at whether the state's mandatory screening saw a decline. >> you just had a baby. the first thing you wait for in the delivery room is to wait for the cry to let you know if the baby is okay and before they're discharged, did they pass the screening test. it became recommended not that long ago in 2011. so when they looked at eight states that kind of changed the recommendations in this time period, they found a 33% decrease in infant death from critical heart disease and

others from unspecified cardiac causes. we know 7,200 babies are born a year and you need to pick it upperly. even though they look healthy, when they go home, the first couple of days or weeks, they could be at risk for cardiac arrest, for dying. but picking it up early means they can gl diagnosed, treated with either surgery or the procedures that they need. >> wow. it's a game-changer. >> it's a simple test. the pulse oximeter test. it's measuring the pulse and blood oxygen of the baby. >> thanks so much for being here this morning. one person's hand-me-down can be someone else's pressure. up next, how a couple looking to get rid of a christmas tree has helped bring warmth to the season for thousands. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday."

welcome to "cbs this morning: saturday." i'm anthony mason. >> and i'm alex wagner. coming up this hour, the tax reform bill could be passed next week on capitol hill and sent to the president before christmas. it is the biggest overhaul of taxes in more than three decades. we'll have the details of what it may mean for you. then golden gload nominated actress alison brie joins us to talk about her role in "the post," the new film about the washington newspaper that printed the pentagon papers. and there's a new anthem in our nation's capitol smack in the middle of a revised development. we'll talk with the two men

behind the project and have a special session from morrissey. that's ahead. but first our top story this half hour, the sweeping tax overhaul bill. president trump may get his wish, a tax reform bill on his desk ready for christmas. republicans say they have the it votes to pass it next week. it would increase the budget deficit by almost $1.5 trillion over ten years. >> senator bob corker of tennessee and marco rubio of florida have said they will vote for the bill. they had been holdouts. errol barnett is on capitol hill. good morning. >> good morning. the gop is now poised to deliver on its first major piece of legislation in synch with president trump's domestic agenda. the tax cut and jobs act is a boon for business with a smaller range of benefits for individuals. for example, it permanently cuts

the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. the top rate drops from 39% to 37% but the lower individual rates across the board expire in 2025. one last-minute change was a boost to the refundable portion of the child tax credit. it is now up to $1,400 which helped to shore up marco rubio's voeft vote. all of this is expected to project over the next decade. they could only point to its costs and temporarily delay its passage througha procedural m maneuv maneuvers. it could be signed into law by christmas. >> errol barnett. thanks. for more on what the tax reform bill means to you, we're joined by edo'keefe, he's a congressional reporter for the

"washington post" and a cbs news contributor. good morning. let's talk about the tax reform bill. we talked about senators corker and rubio. do we know if senators collins or flake are on the fence or is this going to become law? >> they're still holding out but if history predicts, they eat vote for it in the end. look. all of these last-minute undecid undecideds have had various things. they've used their clout. they saw changes at the last minute. some assurances about health care. in the case of flake, he's pushing to make sure congress is working on some kind of bipartisan deal to up the status of those dreamers, the young immigrants. that's a big concern of his, has been for years. all of this likely will lead to republicans voting for this and sending it on to the president. >> who are the biggest winners in this plan, ed? >> certainly corporations, anthony. the corporate rate coming down

to 21% is a very big deal. the fact that that's permanent. now republicans say those pushing for the lower rate say it will allow for better planning and they say will spur economic growth across the country. critics are concerned about that. they also pointed out as errol did the individual rates are not permanent and will have to come up for a vote or expire by 2025. so certainly it is being cast as something that's favorable to the wealthiest in the country. on paper, that's certainly true. >> will senator collins get what she wants as far as securing the fate of the health insurance markets? >> as of right now, she has no written assurance and there's no scheduled vote on the legislation that would do what she wants. so she is taking a bit of a gamble here. health care remains a big concern in her state given its aging population and given the fact she heard throughout this year from constituents who don't want the current health care system to really be changed in

nejdra matic way. but i don't think they would string along susan collins and not make good on their promise. the question is at what point and how would congress consider this next year. >> this tax bill, which is also sort of a health care bill in a way, will remove the obamacare mandate starting in 2019. now, the cbo, congressional budget office say as many as 13 million americans will become uninsured. is there a price to pay for that? >> absolutely. democrats have already made the point that this is now putting out 13 million people. the republican argument is that the tax for not having health care -- the penalty for not having health care is, in fact, a tax so that by removing it, you are in essence removing the tax system and unburden abouting the folks. some argue that a lot of the people who have been penalized by this law are lower income individuals who cannot afford health care plans under the

current system, so that's why they want to keep pushing systems to make individual health care plans more affordable. you're right. the argument is tens of millions of people are out of health insurance. it will be a campaign issue next year for sure. they're already making hay out of it and they will continue to do so for sure. >> ed, what happens to people in blue states who rely on the state and local tax deductions? >> there's an interesting element of this. if you live in new york, connecticut, illinois, maryland, those are higher tax states and they've been accustomed to being able. at this point it will be capped at $10,000. that is a notable deduction still, but in some cases, you're going to have some people ending up paying higher taxes because they live in those states and their local and state property taxes can't be deducted as much is that were before. that's probably why we're likely to see a handful of house republicans from those states, mostly suburban swing districts vote against this plan next week

because they believe it's unfair to their constituents. >> ed o'keefe in washington this morning. thanks very much for being with us. >> take care. >> in the wake of the harvey weinstein scandal, some of the biggest names in entertainment are establishing a commission on sexual harassment and workplace equality. the committee will be chaired by anita hill. in 1991 she brought sexual harassment to national consciousness when she testified over clarence thomas during supreme court hearings. they agreed to fund the commission which will be aimed at achieving a fairer and safer workplace. parts of the east are cleaning up from heavy lake effect snow. in errie, pennsylvania, there ws a whiteout condition. there will be several more inches of snow expected. but more snowfall is not expected in philadelphia or new york city this weekend.

it's been quite a year for actress alison brie. besides getting golden globe and s.a.g. nominations, she's currently starring in two major motion pictures. her latest project is the steal spielberg directed drama "the post." >> it stars tom hangs as the post's legendary editor ben bradlee and meryl streep as the newspaper's publisher katherine graham. alison plays graham's eldest daughter lolly. >> jack and linden are friends. >> you wanted to see his helicopter. >> and he saw you.

>> oh, well. he wanted the paper to endorse. >> yes, but my point is you had steven and bill home who had house guests waiting at the farm, you had dirty clothes in your suitcase. you jumped on the airplane and you were speed boating with linden and ladybird. >> it's hard to say no to the president of the united states. >> alison brie, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what a great scene. >> incredible. that's the first scene i shot in this movie, take one. >> it's an important store in the press about power grabbing but it's an important portrait of katherine graham, an extraordinary woman played by an extraordinary actor. >> absolutely. >> what was it like for t love

is it's an incredible feminist story, looking at katherine graham coming into her own. she was very uncertain taking anything liketion. that. >> no, no. she took over the position just to keep the paper in the family and it wasn't really -- she didn't think she was making a feminist statement at the time. >> we see you with meryl streep on the screen and behind the scenes, steven spielberg, no less intimidating. >> this whole job for me was about nerve management, just play it cool, be cool. but both of them couldn't be love lovelier. steven after directing so many films he still is so excited on set and so in the moment with you as a director that that felt

-- he was so prepared. that scene, he watched us rehearse it and in the middle of us reading the dialogue, he said stop everything. this changes everything. don't say another word. doesn't like to rehearse, which is kind of refreshing and interesting. when i first got the part, i found out i got it, my agents called me. ten minutes later i got a call from steven spielberg. >> this is on your cell phone? >> yeah, on my cell phone. >> he says, this is steven spielberg? >> i usually don't answer numbers i don't know. i'm like, i'll pick it up, i guess. we have steven spielberg on the line. >> i'll take that call. >> i guess i have time. and it was one of the first -- congratulations on the role, we're very excited. he gave me a few notes about the character and just said, you know, don't like to rehearse, so i'll see you on set in a month. and then i prepared unlike i had

ever prepared for anything before. >> tell us how you found out about your golden globe nomination. >> well, it was very exciting. i was running late for work, running out of the house, and i ran back into the bedroom to kiss my husband good-bye and he was streaming it on his cell phone. i sat down and gave him a kiss good-bye and as we pulled apart, sharon stone said my name and we both froze and started screaming. it was that moment of -- >> that was a great moment. >> it couldn't have been better timing. >> the character you play on "glow," alison, for those of us who came to know you as trudy in "mad men," you've got a perm now. we've seen you in some scenes that would have been -- >> yeah, yeah. a lot less clothing in general than trudy wore.

>> what's that been like? >> fochblt working on nbc for many years, i was looking to shake things up and do something different. this couldn't be more different than anything you could have imagined. we're wrestling. >> you're also in a film called "disaster artist." >> yes. >> which is about the making of the best worst movie ever made. >> yes. >> you're in it with your husband david franco who's the brother of james franco who stars in it and directs it. it's confusing. >> good experience? >> yes, good experience and very bizarre. i don't know if you've seen pictures of james as this character. he's playing a guy who plays a vampire. he basically stayed in character the entire time we were using with the strange european accent. my first day on set, i walk into the room and james is completely

naked and is walking around the set for the scene, for the scene. and it's like he's totally nude and he's screaming at the crew which then i realize is the crew in the movie. there's a separate crew in the ovie that he's also directing. it was the most metabizarre moment and it with us like, oh, so this is what this movie is going to be. >> also welcome to the franco family. >> alison brie, welcome. >> good luck with the golden globe and the s.a.g. awards. >> thank you. >> "the post" opens next friday and across the world. kiss takes you inside the band's theatrical rise. we'll go behind the lens with photographer lynn goldschmidt and the band's legendary front man gene simmons.
