immigration and national security. >> you know that we have team coverage of all the breaking news overnight. abc's jon karl starts us off from the white house. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin. here on day five of the trump presidency, the frenzied pace of activity at the white house continues. today the president will sign orders aimed at fulfilling some of his most controversial campaign promises. today, president trump will take the first step towards fulfilling the signature promise of his campaign. >> we will build a great wall. we will build a great wall. >> reporter: the white house says the order will begin the construction of the wall, likely by redirecting some existing border security funds. still unclear, however, is if the president can fulfill the second part of his promise, getting mexico to pay for it. overnight the president tweeted, big day planned on national security tomorrow. among many other things, we will build the wall. and in the coming days trump plans to make good

immigration promise. >> when i'm elected i will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the united states. >> reporter: according to sources familiar with the plan, trump could move to suspend some immigration from iraq, iran, libya, sudan, yemen and somalia either temporarily or indefinitely. president trump also made energy issues a key component of his campaign. >> we'll get the keystone pipeline approved. >> reporter: yesterday he signed directives to lift restrictions on the construction of two major oil pipelines which had been blocked by the obama administration. one of those, the dakota access pipeline made headlines in december after a u.s. army corps of engineers stopped work following massive protests. and overnight donald trump went on twitter to take on the city of chicago over its high crime rate reading if chicago doesn't fix the horrible carnage going

42 killings, up 24%, i will send in the feds. now, chicago has responded, george, and said actually on every number in that tweet, trump has gotten the number wrong. but there's no doubt about it, he may be overstating what's happened in chicago so far this year but the crime wave that we saw last year does continue in the city of chicago. >> the mayor saying he'll take any help he can get. thanks very much. today's announcement comes after another tough day in the white house briefing room for press secretary sean spicer. who doubled down on the president's false claim that millions of illegal votes caused him to lose the popular vote to hillary clinton. abc's cecilia reagan, cecilia vega, you were there yesterday. >> reporter: baseless, a conspiracy theory, flatly debunked is what we are talking about here, that is not stopping the president from pushing this falsehood. this morning, the new president at the center of an old controversy after this stunning

secretary. >> does the president believe that millions voted illegal in this election and what evidence do you have of widespread voter fraud in this election if that's the case. >> the president does believe that. he has stated that before and stated his concern, voter fraud and people voting illegally during the campaign and he continues to maintain that belief based on studies and evidence that people have presented him. >> reporter: but exactly what evidence. >> as i said i think the president has believed that for awhile based on the information he has. >> president trump made the false claim during his first white house meeting with congressional leaders on monday. telling them millions of illegal ballots cast cost him the popular vote. >> will the white house formally ask for a probe into this? >> he won very handily with 306 electoral votes. >> i'm asking why not investigate something that -- >> maybe we will. >> the biggest scandal in american electoral history. >> how can he be comfortable with the win -- >> he's very comfortable. >> maybe he didn't win. >> no, he's

with his win. >> reporter: the briefing then coming to an abrupt end, not long after a fellow aide placed a note on press secretary sean spicer's podium. the claim of widespread voter fraud has been flatly debunked. trump aides have pointed to two studies, but both were conducted years before the election and one author tells abc news the trump team is deliberately trying to mischaracterize the report. the other says he found no evidence of voter fraud. republicans and democrats alike pouncing. >> i've seen no evidence to that effect. i've made that very, very clear. >> and seems to be obsessed with the idea that he could not have possibly lost the popular vote without cheating and fraud. >> regarding mr. trump's delusional statement that 3 million to 5 million people voted illegally in the last election, that is a total nonsensical statement. >> reporter: now, even president trump's own lawyers seem

contradicting his widespread claim of voter fraud in court filings. they objected to a post-election recount in the state of michigan writing all available evidence suggests the election was, quote, not tainted by fraud or mistake, george. >> that was their official filing. thanks very much. our political team is here to weigh in on the stories and start with jon karl right now and, jon, you were in the briefing room monday. your question was will you always pledge to tell the truth? will you pledge to always be factual? ignored on day two. >> reporter: something else. it was fascinating to see sean spicer asked personally do you believe there were millions of fraudulent votes cast and spicer wouldn't say that. he was very careful to say he was representing what the president believes. i got to tell you here in the white house, even among the president's closest aides this is a head scratcher. this is not a belief that is widely held here. it seems to be something that is simply -- >> seems like nobody in the white house can go to the president an

saying this. >> reporter: i think that's exactly the problem that you've identified here, george, and, you know, this is something that's gotten all over his message in his first week. it's completely unnecessary and distracting and creates a controversy that diverts from what he's doing in the white house. >> perfect time to bring in tom llamas. you covered donald trump for the 18 months he was on the campaign trail and some people thought once he became president he would moderate his tone but that has not happened. >> yeah, this issue of truth is a major thing with president trump. one of the most heated exchanges we ever had when i asked if critics were right if he had a problem with the truth. if he tended to exaggerate. that's when he called me a sleaze on national television. this is a running problem with president trump and, george is right. i don't know how many people are telling him this is wrong. senior advisers once told me once president trump convinces himself of something whether it be a policy or idea it's very tough to change his mind. >> martha raddatz here, as well. you're a chief global affairs

credibility overseas. >> absolutely. i think people don't know what to expect and then they hear him say one thing and other people fact check him and say when can we believe him? if he sends people overseas to talk about what he's going to do next, it's really -- it's really a troubling situation overseas. >> we don't know all the details of the immigration order but likely to be suspending or a while any immigration from majority muslim countries with a history of terrorism. >> some majority muslim countries. there's indonesia, they're not on the list. syria, yemen, definitely problems there but also questions about what's not on the list, afghanistan is not on the list, pakistan is not on the list. saudi arabia, 9/11 terrorists -- i know there's some enhanced screening there but i think in many ways these countries don't create a real diplomatic problem. they're easy ones. the other ones would be much tougher >> that's the situation abroad. back here at home, jon karl, you

out about chicago talking about the violence there and that he would bring in the feds. what exactly could that mean, bringing in the feds? >> reporter: well, we've asked that question of white house officials several of them and there's no answer on what exactly he means. theoretically he could nationalize the national guard, do something there but it's very hard to do without the consent of local authorities. by the way, president obama sent in federal assistance to 20 different cities during the course of his presidency so it's not unusual to send in federal assistance, a federal takeover is a whole other question. >> tom, the president also expected to get started on the wall today and says he wants to get started on the wall but with domestic money. >> this is his hallmark issue. if president trump can't accomplish anything, this is the one thing he does. this is what supporters were chanting at every single rally up until the election for donald trump he has to build this wall. >> perhaps we will get some

answers tonight because david muir will have the first interview with president trump since the inauguration airing at 10:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc. michael. >> thank you, robin. now to a health alert about the extremely contagious norovirus with outbreaks in schools from chicago to rhode island and health officials say, more outbreaks are on the way. our chief health and medical editor dr. richard besser is here to answer our questions and, doctor, more and more outbreaks were seen so two questions. why are we seeing these outbreaks and how dangerous is this norovirus? >> we are in the midst of it. norovirus is a bad actor. each year it causes as many as 20 million cases of disease and every winter we're seeing the same thing. take a look. in january, the numbers are up. but they're going to continue to climb. every year it's usually february, march where we see that peak so it's bad now but it's going to get worse as people are indoors crowding, able to spread that virus between each other. >> what are the symptoms? >> well, when you look

norovirus, it causes typical stomach flu symptoms, it may cause abdominal pain, some fever. it comes on quickly so 12 to 48 hours after being exposed you'll get those symptoms then one to three days later it tens to go away. >> is it dangerous. >> it can be very dangerous. what you worry about is dehydration so little kid, the eld elderly, people in nursing hopes can get dehydrated and can die from it. >> it's called a stomach flu but it's not a stomach flu. there's no vaccination, you have to ride it out. >> this is one of those things where words are a bit of a problem. we use the word stomach flu but flu is influenza and there is one for that. control measures are back to the basics, hand washing is critically important with soap and water. one way that alcohol sanitizer does nothing. you have to clean surfaces. this can live on surfaces for weeks, so if someone has been sick, you have to clean that up. and then if someone is sick they should stay home.

because it can spread that way too. >> thanks, doctor. give me the fist pump. there we go. >> all right, gentlemen. now to that horrible weather. new storm moving into the m midwest shutting down interstates. ginger, i know you're tracking it for us. >> we have 100-mile stretch of interstate 90 shut down, slide-offs in nebraska. this thing didn't done with us yet. >> slide-offs and tow-outs across the plains. up to a foot of snow in south dakota. plus, 35-mile-per-hour winds making visibility almost impossible. a 100-mile section of i-90 in western south dakota shut down and in the northeast, dangerous ice. inches of sleet and up to 9 inches of snow in pennsylvania have folks digging out this morning. in vermont, burlington airport rushing to clear the runways. >> there's no -- no matter what you do to keep up with it when it's snowing heavy. >> reporter: in rochester, new york, two women killed after

on slick roads. in massachusetts. >> heard this ungodly boom. >> reporter: punishing 60-mile-per-hour winds toppling trees. one crashing onto this house. >> i jumped up. scared the daylights out of me. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: violent nor'easter waves gnawing away at the coast. the nrsz all but gone, one little line. this in the middle of the nation, see that low pressure system taking us through drive time, madison, wisconsin, parts of iowa and certainly southeastern minnesota still feeling it. getting into travers city. my friends and behind it much colder air. dallas, 80 yesterday for a high will feel like 32 by the time we reach this weekend. now, this picture, i wanted to -- from that nor'easter that's h. lgate, new jersey, beach erosion, 100 feet of that beach taken out, that cliff. huge. wow. >> you know the scary weather that's created some scary accidents, as well. take a look at this crash. a train slamming into

truck and an investigation is now under way and eva pilgrim is here with more. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, michael. terrifying. those trucks and cars driving through what looks like an open railroad crossing, nothing warning them that a train is heading their way. it starts when this north salt lake city police officer, his dash cam rolling backs up to avoid this sudden impact. a commuter train versus a fedex truck. >> advising the semi was split in half. >> reporter: take another look before the crash crossing gates are up, lights and bells off. it takes 0 seconds before they finally turn on. >> we got people on the train that probably need medical assistance. >> reporter: utah railroad authorities blame snow and ice for the power outage. the gates are programmed to come down and apparently did but when railroad workers arrived to investigate, for some reason the arms raised back up. >> unprecedented accident. not occurred at uta prior. >> reporter: some of the train's 82 passengers complained of

injuries. fedex says it's grateful the two workers in the truck were okay too. an investigation is now under way to figure out why the truck and train ended up on a collision course. and really just makes you pause the next time you go to cross train tracks, every three hours a person or vehicle is hit by a train here in the u.s. a reminder that even though crossings usually work, there is always the chance for error, george. >> yeah, you got to be careful. >> every three hours. >> looks like the president may be watching the news. after the conversation he put out new tweets saying he will ask for a major investigation into voter fraud. wants to look into people voting in two states illegal. those who voted that may be dead asking for this major investigation. we'll follow up on that later. other stories including a major bombing overseas. there is dramatic video of that car bombing this morning at a busy hotel. look at that in somalia's capital. popular nearby shopping

williams sisters out. >> don't count them out. a tall guy with a small car and a big problem. take a look. adam elliott is 6'7". he drives a convertible. he's says police cited him for dangerous drive you go because they thought he was standing up behind the wheel. he says it only appears that way but pleaded guilty so he could be the bigger man and move on. >> oh. >> but, listen to this, it's great that he lost his driver's license for 12 months because the judge said he was showing off by being in a small convertible being that tall. he's distracting drivers. >> oh, okay. >> how hard is it to find a story every day? >> really easy actually. >> that's the scary part. starting to dry out in the northeast. >> it is. >> finally. >> i kept thinking the bugs when he's going. wouldn't it be bad? he didn't have the windshield. drying out and want to see the sun. a lot haven't seen it in a week -- you could see the ocean just moving but we are going to see a little bit of sun today. let's get to the snowy cities.

interstates creating dangerous travel conditions this morning. now to that stunning revelation from erin andrews about her secret cancer battle. amy, you have new details about her story. >> that's right. of course, we all know she's a television superstar on the football field and on the ballroom floor but no one would have ever known what she was dealing with behind the scenes. now for the first time she is opening up about the cancer diagnosis that nearly benched her but you know what, it was the love of the game that got her back on her feet. >> let's start with the third down. >> reporter: when erin andrews reported from lambeau field last october very few people knew the life-altering secret the private sportscaster had been keeping. just five days earlier the 38-year-old had undergone surgery for cervical cancer, this morning, she is revealing her health care to "sports illustrated." >> erin was shocked when she got her diagnosis. got a call from her doctor standing in the hallway and kept repeating what are you telling me ask what are you telling me? what am i supposed to tell my family? >> reporter: the diagnosis coming just

high-profile civil trial against a nashville marriott. she accused the hotel of negligence after a stalker secretly filmed her through a peephole then posted those on the internet. >> i feel so ashamed. i'm so embarrassed. >> reporter: andrews settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. >> you're in for an electrifying night. >> reporter: she kept her game face while hosting "dancing with the stars." >> if this is balancing it, i'm all in of the let's get your scores. >> reporter: but decided not to share the news with her colleagues, even as she prepped for surgery. >> good to have my bud kym johnson filling in for erin. >> reporter: andrews undergoing surgery on october 11th telling her doctors i'm not missing the super bowl and days later she was back at work telling "sports illustrated," should i have been standing for a full game five days after surgery? let's just say the doctor didn't recommend that, but just as i felt during my trial, sports were my escape. i needed to be with my crew.

her doctor giving the all clear a month later with no need for radiation or chemotherapy. and today andrews is fit and healthy saying that all she's been through in her career gave her the strength to overcome cancer as well. >> she just got into fighter mode and she told me, after the trial everyone kept saying how strong i am. you're so strong. but finally it got to the point where i believed it too and, hey, i have cancer but dannit, i can beat this. >> when she met with her doctor for the final procedure she said, fourth quarter, let's do it and got the all clear soon after and credits football for getting her through the trial and the treatment. >> it worked for her. it really did, amy. now our chief women's health correspondent dr. jen ashton is here. this is your field. >> yes. >> your level of expertise. tell people more about it. >> let's start with basic anatomy. the cervix is the lower part of the uterus. there are about 12,000 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed in this country every year and about

country due to cervical cancer. oftentimes it's picked up on a routine pap smear. >> tell us about the surgical options and other options for finding it. >> it depends on two things, the stage as it does with any type of cancer and the woman's desire for future fertility so early stage cervical cancer can be treated with a cone biopsy surgery which is a same day procedure or a simple hysterectomy. more advanced cervical cancer than you're talking about a surgery radical hysterectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. >> hpv. when you hear about that and with cervical cancer, just explain to people more. >> here's what you really need to know about the relationship between hpv and cervical cancer. the vast majority of cervical cancer is caused by hpv. by the age of 50, 80% of us have been exposed to the hpv virus. the good news most of those cases obviously don't go on to lead to an hpv ri-related cance.

ask what specific type of abnormality will is because there is a range. most abnormal paps don't go on to cervical cancer. we know that that can take decades but, again, this speaks to how important a routine gyn exam is. >> are there any symptoms? >> there can be symptoms. they need to know their body and need to have ideally a relationship with a health care provider who can explain what's normal whaen as he no the normal. >> i have a question. my daughters got the vaccine. does this prevent cervical cancer. >> the vaccine has been responsible for dropping the rates in the united states, but there are over 100 types of hpv and the vaccine covers four or nine of them. we really need to stress here, you guys, if you hear or if a woman hears the word cervical cancer, it really is the standard of care. she should be referred to a gyn oncologist for further treatment and management. >> good information. again, we're so happy that erin is doing as well as she is. coming up in just two

we are back now with that new video of a road rage incident. you see that motorcyclist going right into the back of a car and abc's gio benitez here with the story. >> this is truly a tale of the tape here. two videos going viral right now. highlighting the dangers of road rage in a really unique way from two different camera angles. take a look. this is the view from a motorcyclist's helmet as he drives on a highway in olympia, washington. >> whoa, whoa, whoa. >> watch an acura zooms around him coming dangerously close then speeds off. the motorcyclist seems to get

angry and speeds to catch up to him then the acura driver slams on his brakes and the motorcyclist hits the back of the car. here's another angle. a camera on a nearby tow truck captures the rest. you can see the motorcyclist there on the car's trunk as the driver takes off. we showed the video to lieutenant victor jesuwel of the new york state troopers. what do you think when you see that video. >> takes two to tango. slow down, reduce speed and avoid that person completely. >> reporter: watch, after the accident it appears the two get into some kind of argument right there on the highway. police say the driver of the acura had been drinking charging him with dui and driving with a suspended license but washington state police say the motorcyclist was clearly riding recklessly which also contributed to the accident. he was charged with a misdemeanor. >> when you're out on the road you really have to have the right frame of mind and you can't be aggressive and

aggressive driving causes accidents like this. >> reporter: incredibly even with that collision, neither driver was seriously hurt. so, what if you're just driving by perhaps with your family seeing all of this happen, well, police tell us even if you want to help, if there's an argument going on like that, just don't get involved. don't approach them. you don't want to get hurt yourself. just call police to get help out there right away, george. >> that makes a lot of sense, gio. thanks very much. let's talk to dan abrams about this. the same thing we saw that trooper do, look at those two videos, what do they tell you. >> both parties are at fault and, you know, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. but in the state of washington, like many states you've got comparative fault, right? that means that, yes, you can still sue even if you're at fault. in some states if you're at fault, you can't sue. even if you're not 100% at fault even if you're 50% at fault you're not going to win a lawsuit. in the state of washington you can win a lawsuit like that but what will happen

were you. >> how do they do that. >> that's exactly what juries do all the time in cases like this. they basically look at those videos, they compare them and they say, well, wait a second. this guy never should have chased him, right? they talk about the first -- well, he was dui, et cetera and then they sit there and literally balance it and that can determine how much damages someone can get. the problem is according to the motorcyclist he's made public statements that the other guy he says didn't have insurance and as a result no lawyer will take his case. he says he still owes money for the motorcycle and so there's a real question now about whether he's going to sue at all. because he is at fault it does make it hard. >> even if he has a case the lawyers won't take it -- >> that's what he's claiming. look, a lawyer might still take this case, might try to make a point particularly in a high-profile case, but it really is interesting, the way juries can start evaluating what percentage each party was at fault. >> is it a good

decent case. not because he would win a lot, because he was partially at fault but when you've got a state where you can still get it even if you were 70% at fault, you can still get 30% of the damages, that's kind -- that's still a case in something like this where there was injuries but, again, because he wasn't that injured that's important too with regard to damages, right? because it now seems he survived. he just had some bruises, et cetera. so then the question is how damaged was he? he would say my motorcycle. >> is it time to walk away. >> exactly. >> thanks very much. michael. coming up on our big board the new apple that won't turn brown for weeks. is it safe to eat? we'll find out about that. plus, jet lag in baseball. the surprising new study when we come back in two minutes. how about those apples? i don'th the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni.

about jet lag. northwestern has done this study of major league baseball and jet lag and found basically that it can erase the home field advantage traveling so much but this could have implications for all of us. >> yeah, this is really cool. i confess, i love baseball and i love statistics, so i went wild over this study. so, they looked at more than 45,000 games and baseball is a game of small margins and wanted to see does jet lag matter. what they found was that home teams flying home from the west coast to the east coast suffered from jet lag. their pitchers gave up more home runs and so what they recommended is send your starting pitchers home a few days early and it may do away with this problem with jet lag. >> that makes sense. >> it does and for everyone else, realize that when you you are flying west coast to east coast jet lag is worse. if you have something important to do, you may want to go that direction a couple days early. >> i was going to use that as an excuse for why we lost so many on the road. i guess we were going east to west and blew that away. how does it work on the dy

of body functions that are controlled by this internal clock called circadian rhythms and it's really cool governed by daylight and your daylight exposure so, you know, if you are flying from l.a. to new york, your brain is on l.a. time, you arrive in new york, everyone else is on new york time. it's new york daylight time. your brain is still on l.a. time. and this has effects on your body in terms of jet lag. you're going to have problems sleeping, insomnia is a big problem. a problem with extreme daytime fatigue. problems concentrating of your mood may be a problem as your body is trying to reset the clock. >> airlines are doing things to take it on. >> they are. there are a number of things that happen when you fly. some related to jet lag and some has to do with the altitude and pressure. when you fly you may get that dry mouth because of the humidity on the plane. swelling of your legs. trying to adjust the pressure in the cabin that will help with that. i don't think it's going to help with jet lag. there are things with melatonin use and light boxes, talk to

that could help you with the jet lag symptoms but they may make that flying a little better by changing the pressure. >> i fall asleep the minute i get on the plane. >> i feel bad about trying to sleep -- >> if you can get on the time you're going to earlier. >> i flew in last night so this is an away game for me so i'm doing my best. >> you're always on top of the game. not worried about that. the reason you're here is something -- george, every day when you leave the studio you eat an apple. >> yes, i do. >> this is made for you. tailor made for you. a canadian company is releasing a new genetically modified apple that won't turn brown for up to three weeks. check out this time lapse video. the normal apple on the left and modified apple when we see this is on the right and the modified apple for three weeks -- >> wow. >> does not change. >> not at all. >> what is the science behind this and, yeah, what i

science? how does it happen? >> this is crazy. as a mom i hand the sliced apples. they give me that yuck face if it's brown like that but here's -- >> that's not too bad. i would still eat that >> that's not too bad. >> i wouldn't. >> you wouldn't. >> if i had to. >> well, there is science here. there's an enzyme in the apple that when it's cut, it makes with oxygen. there's iron in the apple and it oxidizes it, basically rusts the apple so the company that's genetically modifying the arctic apple has spliced out that enzyme, voila, apples that down brown. >> are people buying them. >> when you say gmo in food there's controversy. people don't want their graventine apple turning into a frankenstein apple. the consumers association saying the arctic apples have not been independently test the and once again consumers are the guinea pigs for gmo

okinawa fruit company that discovered this said it passed the fda approval and in canada. we have seen the flavor safer tomato. that was gmo modified but with gmo if you hand a gmo apple a day to your kid does it keep the doctor away. gmo kids. no offense, dr. b. >> what do you think about it, doc. >> i think from a health and safety standpoint there's not an issue there. people hear the word gmo and they freak out. when you look at that scientifically and look at it molecularly, it's still the apple just minus that one enzyme. as a consumer i like it to turn brown as a sign to me it's not quite as fresh. i don't want to bite into a apple and it's mushy and that's the first sign it's no good. i can tell if it's brown, i'm going to go for another apple. >> fast food companies are the ones they're targeting these

much controversy. we're not going to do the arctic apple but you see the business case. >> an apple a day. there you go. >> i don't want to keep dr. b. away. >> thank you so much. and coming up, ginger has more on that record-breaking snow hitting the west. so much so even ski lifts are getting buried. and michael one-on-one with kerry washington. she will reveal secrets from the set of "scandal." >> it's so scandalous, george, i'm telling you. this is my body of proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that ntributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the number #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,

>> i still had to nudge him a few times in the side to get him to stop snoring. >> reporter: the company says you can widen it with the idea to increase the settings until your snore something reduced or completely eliminated. okay, some hope. this is the slumberbump. this prevents you from turning over on your back? if you have to roll over at night. it wakes you up. >> which is almost just as annoying as the snoring. >> reporter: that's the idea. the company site says this is meant to retrain you to sleep on your side. a process that can take 30 to 60 days. next up my snoring solutions, chintrap. >> it's very uncomfortable. >> i felt like i've in traction or something. like i've been in a car accident. >> reporter: the visual on this product a lot to take in. >> that is not a sexy look. >> it's not. >> it's not. >> it looks great on you i'm just saying. yeah, but you know we do have

then as he just said he donates all of that money that he receives to kids with cancer and the other groups like that. can we just clone you? we can just -- can we just have another child just like him, please and just share him. >> and, tabay, can you teach us a few -- can you teach us a few yoga poses? i say you got a crew in the back with you. >> okay. everybody, stand up and let's do some poses. >> so cute. >> so, the first pose is tree pose. >> oh, yeah. >> i love -- >> bring your foot on your ankle, your calf or on your thigh. and your hands together at your heart center. >> hang in there, dad. hang in there, daddy. >> now, the next one, next one is you put your hand on the inside of your ankle, arm up and go

afrikaner woman i was able to -- >> don't you feel the spirit when you're there. >> it's -- it was life changing to shoot in south africa in locations where all of this history really took place. to learn about the anti-apartheid movement from the beginning all the way to his presidency, our story takes place over six hours and so you're going to learn a lot more about all of the people that were involved in dismantling apartheid. just not mandela himself. >> is it intimidating to take on an icon like that. >> you know what, it's funny, i said yes to it and was fine and excited and just kind of honored and then 15 minutes later i kind of panicked. you know. >> yeah. >> but i've played a character who prepared me for this. i played thurgood marshall in 2008. >> yes, you did. yes, you did. >> so beautifully too. >> thank you.

africa and i was at the mandela foundation i went into a room where they have a lot of his personal effects and things and there was a bust of thurgood marshall amongst his personal effects and i have the same bust that was presented to me by the thurgood foundation so when i saw that i thought, oh, okay, this is going to be fine. it's okay. i'll be okay. >> would you all like to see a little bit of "madiba"? [ applause ] right here. >> we will no longer run to the quarry but we will walk. we are awaiting your orders, sergeant. >> walk. [ applause ] >> we need this story right now beca

mandela came out of imprisonment he could have retaliate. he could advantage angry but he was just the opposite. >> yes, yes, he was -- he was a master statesman, a natural diplomat. you know, the most shining example of leadership that perhaps we've seen in centuries and so certainly we need examples like that. >> reconciliation. that's what he was all about. >> superhuman ability to transform anger into something positive. >> yeah and a determination. i asked ahmed who was in jail with him, you know, how did they manage to just persevere how many year, decades in jail. he said we knew we were right and we knew we were going to win. so the idea that they knew that they were correct, that, you know, inequality and prejudice and those kind of things just don't make any sense for all of us is just, you know

>> i'm loving it because we got a lot of students here in our audience and for them you make sure you see this. it's a wonderful series. you are -- thank you. always, always a privilege. >> thank you. thank you.
