good morning, america. making his case, president trump just hours away from delivering his first address to congress. >> all i can do is speak from the heart and say what i want to do. >> the families of americans killed by undocumented immigrants among the president and first lady's special guests and now the president blames former president obama for those fbi leaks and town hall protests. >> i think he's behind it. i also think it's politics. that's the way it is. breaking overnight, a plane crash nothing a california neighborhood seen on this surveillance video plummeting moments after takeoff. the fiery wreck engulfing homes. the passengers on their way back from a cheerleading competition. at least three people killed. two survived. and behind the big picture plunder. >> "moonlight," you guys won best picture.

what really happened with that epic oscars mix-up. the tweet that may be at the center of it all and the man that may be responsible for the mistake now revealed. what the academy and host jimmy kimmel are saying overnight as the plot thickens this morning. good morning, america. a lot of news. >> and the winner is -- >> oh. >> you couldn't wait. too soon. too soon? we have new details about the major oscars mistake when warren beatty was, of course, handed the wrong envelope. >> we see this team on the red carpet every year. they have lovely people with their briefcases and they're full of the oscars winners. usually it's their moment in the spotlight but now they're at the center of it. >> for a different reason. more on that coming. big day in washington. live look at the capitol hill

his first address to a scombroints session of congress, that, of course, is tonight. the president getting ready right now. >> he is expected to lay out the vision for the nation so let's go right to abc's senior white house correspondent cecilia vega with more on what we can expect tonight. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. this is essentially state of the union before a bitterly divided country and the president no stranger to big speeches but has never given a speech like this. the former reality tv star turned president will be back on prime time tonight. president trump on fox news dropping a few hints. >> all i can do is speak from the heart and say what i want to do. we have a really terrific, i believe, health care plan coming out. i'll be talking about the military. i'll be talking about the border and remember this, on the border and throughout our country, we're getting the bad ones out, the bad people, gang members, drug lords, in some cases murderers. >> reporter: among the

at his first address to a joint session of congress three guests sitting with the first lady, all family members of people killed by undocumented immigrants. still, aides say the president will offer an optimistic vision for the country focusing on national security, the economy and foreign policy. the president gearing up for that big speech with a dizzying schedule. >> i don't think we've ever had this many people in here. >> a record. >> this could be a new forever. >> reporter: in a meeting with top health insurance companies he promised his own health care plan is coming soon. >> the effects obamacare have had and we'll change it. >> reporter: this stark admission. >> unbelievably complex subject. nobody knew that health care could be so complicated. >> reporter: the president also discussing his proposed budget which offers a 10% hike in military spending that's $54 billion and to help offset that, major cuts to come including to foreign aid, the budget on the

president's agenda tonight. those town hall protests across the country also on the president's radar and he told fox news overnight he believes president obama is behind them. >> do you believe president obama is behind it, if he is, is that a violation of the so-called unsaid president's code. >> no, i think he is behind it. i also think it's politics. that's the way it is. >> reporter: and the president also accused president obama's team of planting some of those leaks that have been dogging his administration but he said, quote, again, that's politics. it will probably continue, george, no comment so far from president obama or his team. >> okay, cecilia, thanks very much. let's bring in the man in charge of president trump's budget, mick mulvaney. mr. mulvaney, thank you for joining us this morning. you are already getting a lot of reaction to the plans we saw yesterday, big increase in defense spending and that's going to take a wrecking ball to programs that help the middle class like clean water, food

republican budget experts believe the cuts like this are going to be dead on arrival on capitol hill so is this all symbolism. >> no, the president saying what he would do when he ran. the budget is nothing more than the manifestation through expenditures of policy and what you see in this budget is exactly what the president ran on. he ran on increasing spending on the military, he ran on defending the border. he ran on enforcing the laws that are already on the books and ran on giving things like school choice more opportunity and that's what's reflected in the budget. >> as you know, sir, the president also said he was going to pay down the debt, start to balance the budget. this doesn't bring down deficits at all. you said have said many times that can't happen unless you take on medicare and take on social security and the president said he won't do that. >> as you know when you were here this is a budget blueprint, the first year of a new administration. the budget process is a little different and we're rolling it out a little earlier than we otherwis

because of the delay the senate democrats had in getting me confirmed and letting the public know earlier than ordinary and we're simply the top line discretionary spending. won't be until may we reveal our first thoughts on tax policy, health care reform in terms of how that translates into the dollars and cents, infrastructure will be after that. so, this is simply -- >> let me stop you. can the president keep his promise both to move the budget towards balanced and pay down the debt and not touch medicare and social security. >> again, those are bigger discussions for another day. look at what he's done here, kept his promises without adding to this year's deficit. it would have been very easy for the prosecutor he is to come in and say let's spend more money and blow up the deficit. here is a powerful message. what the president wants is to move spending from, say, overseas back in this country. that's why you'll see fairly significant reductions in his proposals regarding foreign aid. but he's doing all of this without adding to this year's

message from the president of the united states to congress. >> the president promising something special tonight on health care. but it looks like his plans to repeal and replace obamacare are kind of stuck on capitol hill right now so is the president going to come forward with a specific plan of his own and will it meet his promise to cover everyone at lower costs? >> tonight i don't want to give away what the president will say tonight. that's not my job. what you have seen already is work done by tom price, the new head of health and human service, also, by the way, late in getting appointed. starting to see the impacts of the obstruction with the cabinet. what you'll see is an introduction to some of the topics. i don't think you'll see specifics are to the next couple of weeks. >> the is president standing by his promise not to sign a bill that will cause people to lose coverage. >> the president has done nothing but keep his promises up to now. the budget is a manifestation of that. he promised this, this and this and the budget has it. he promised to reduce th

that. if the president has done anything in his first month in office he's proved he is keeping his promises. >> you would agree that until you get to the big ticket promises on tax cut, on balancing the budget, on health care, what you're talking about now is a small, small fraction of what it's going to take. >> well, certainly the big issues of the day are the things that you just mentioned and it's going to take more than i've been on the job i think nine days. more than nine days to start to address those things and i do hope we get a chance to address them but haven't had a chance in the first couple of weeks and that's not the purpose of the budget. >> mr. mulvaney, thanks for your time. >> all right, george, we turn to our chief white house correspondent jon karl and, jon, what is your take on what's at stake for the president tonight. >> reporter: we are now entering the next phase of the presidency. he starred out with a blizzard of executive actions getting nominees confirmed. can he get the big stuff through

what's at stake he's got to get first and foremost the republican party on the same page. right now you have a deeply divided republican party on those big issues that george just talked about. on obamacare, on tax reform, on budget, so i would say his most -- his biggest stake is getting republicans giving them some guidance on where to go. >> jon, as we heard in cecilia's piece the president is making a statement on who he is inviting to sit with the first lady tonight. >> reporter: it's extraordinary. the white house only released six names of people that would be in the first lady's box fully half of them, three are people who family members have been killed by undocumented immigrants, clearly that's going to be a major theme, tough border enforcement. another guest, by the way is the widow of justice scalia so clearly a look ahead to that confirmation battle. >> what about the democrats tonight? what are you expecting from them?

people in victimized by the policies trump is pursuing including immigrants, muslims, d.r.e.a.m.ers, people who got health care because of obamacare and look for this, robin, the democratic women's working group in the house is going to be wearing white or encouraging women to wear white on the floor of the house as a silent protest in favor of women's rights. >> jon, will et me follow up again on this obamacare. that is going to be at the heart of the speech in addition to the budget and a little bit of a reality check. turns out that top house and senate conservatives now come out against the plans that the president has been working on, so is it dead right now? >> reporter: right now the republicans are utterly divided on this question and, george, because this is such a partisan issue, they cannot pass a repeal and replacement of obamacare unless they are united. they won't get any democratic help. only 52 republicans in the senate. slightly bigger majority on the house but need

page and right now they are not. >> thank you very much. we'll hear what the president has to say tonight because we will carry the president's address to congress and the nation live at 9:00 p.m. eastern join george and our powerhouse political team on abc. >> thank you, robin. we turn to these incredible images coming out of southern california this morning. after a plane crashed into a neighborhood on its way back from a cheerleading event and abc's kayna whitworth is in riverside with the story. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: michael, good morning. just a horrifying scene out here after a plane carrying four passengers and a pilot crashed into these homes behind me. you can see they're actually still smoldering this morning. neighbors saying that when it happened, their homes actually shook and when they opened their doors to help, they were overcome by a rush of heat from the flames. is everybody safe? >> reporter: these are the horrifying images of a deadly plane crash in southern california. >> the plane hit a residence and the residence is on fire.

competition at disneyland struck two homes in this residential area. in this surveillance video you can see the plane suddenly falling from the sky. then flames erupt and billowing smoke. >> i heard a big, loud like boom. i looked outside my window and turned and it was like flames in the air, everything. >> reporter: neighbors say one was able to flee the burning home. >> we see this lady crawling, half her clothes were on fire and said i need help. >> reporter: bystanders rushing to her side as rescue crews begin pouring in. >> i have one patient. we've got four victims that were in the airplane. we're checking for -- >> reporter: firefighters searching the home for victims and see them here pulling someone out of the building. at least three people died and two more hospitalized in critical condition. >> almost looks like a piece of the airplane still remains on the roof. >> it's reported that it was other victims in the home and

victims. >> reporter: and this morning, crews still searching the smoldering remains as authorities begin to investigate the crash. now, authorities are saying they do not believe that anybody on the ground was injured or killed. but they will be sifting through this wreckage just in case. michael. >> all right, thank you, kayna. scary situation. >> what a scene. we move on to a massive storm moving across the country, stretching from arkansas through the ohio valley and ginger is tracking its path. >> this is the time of year that the atmosphere energizes, a separate storm did this in sale, washington. the space needle getting hit by lightning, they had heat, sleet and graupel and their wettest day on record. more than two inches of rain. you can see the rescues at san diego airport. up to seven inches of rain drowning cars in the foothills in the mountains, so lots of rain and now that storm, the low you see is it going to start moving to the east and today, th i

afternoon and evening and especially into the overnight hours that the area you see in orange here, indianapolis, back through parts of central and southern illinois, down to little rock, that's in the enhanced risk, so, michael, guys, we'll watch it. it moves east tomorrow. >> all right, thank you. get a new wave of apparent hate crimes across the country shutting down jewish community centers coast to coast monday. another incident at a jewish cemetery where more than 100 gravestones were vandalized. our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas is in washington with much more on that. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, robin. a series of ugly and tragic incidents have the fullest attention of the highest level of government as the fbi investigates hate crimes capturing national attention. more bomb threats to nearly two dozen jewish schools and community centers across the country on monday. >> having your child threatened with violence is probably the worst feeling as a mom you will ever encounter. >> reporter: the hoax bomb

harassment, 30 states targeted. >> the president continues to condemn these and other hateful acts in the strongest terms. >> reporter: more than 100 graves damaged or overturned at a jewish cemetery in philadelphia. this on the heels of similar vandalism at a jewish cemetery near st. louis last week. >> this department of justice will do what it can to assess and push back against that and prosecuting anybody that is proved to be a part of it. >> reporter: the justice department is monitoring all these indianapolis depths trying to determine whether federal civil rights laws have been violated during a tragic week. and two more incidents under scrutiny. a suspicious fire at a mosque near tampa and that deadly shooting near kansas city where two men were shot allegedly because a suspect thought that they looked middle eastern. one of those men died. a terrible week, robin. >> certainly has been, all right, thank you so much,

other top stories including a murder suspect on the run. >> there is an urgent manhunt across chicago for an accused killer mistakenly released from prison. 29-year-old garrett glover is charged in a deadly highway shooting but was allowed to walk after being paroled in a separate case. authorities warn they consider him to be a danger to the public and they're now trying to figure out what caused the confusion before his release. five major automakers are under scrutiny after the japanese company takata pleaded guilty to fraud over its faulty air bags and agreed to pay $1 billion in penalties for concealing that defect blamed for now at least 11 deaths in the united states. new court documents allege that toyota, honda, ford, nissan and bmw knew for years those airbags were dangerous but continued to use them to save money. well, the private space travel company spacex has agreed to fly two tourists around the moon next year. that trip estimated to cost more

for by those two private citizens, the first trip of its kind. spacex has not revealed the customers' names yet but says they've already paid a significant deposit for the week-long trip and will under go medical tests to make sure they are fit for the mission. something bright in the sky had people in the south pacific talking today. look at this. a slow-moving fireball. what is it? scientists say it was too slow to be a meteor. they think it was just an optical illusion created as the sun reflected off a plane. wow. that's some illusion. a new gamble by warren buffett. he is offering to pay $1 million a year for life to any of his employees who picks a perfect sweet 16 bracket for the upcoming march madness tournament. it will not be easy, there are 282 trillion possible sweet 16 combinations. >> at least he's not saying you have to get the whole bracket, just the

>> okay, go for it. >> but the thing is you have to be an employee. >> oh. >> that might be harder than picking sweet 16. >> he'll pay out something. nice to work for warren buffett. >> $1 million. >> and you know what else is nice when you can over at ginger zee and has a beautiful image because good news is coming. >> it's coming for you and a lot of folks all the way down into the south. these are actually one of the variety of cherry blossoms according to chris vaccaro. he said i had to turn on the air-conditioning. new orleans could see one of their warmest mardi gras fat tuesdays on record so it should get right up there if not tie or if not break that number in the low 0s. there it is, washington, d.c., 77 by tomorrow. all right. let's get to your local weather in 30 seconds. first the tuesday trivia brought to you by carmax. fk>

and the border. it's fast tuesday. okay. there's some of the followers. mardi gras followers down in the parade. they've been celebrating for days? we celebrate all the time. and i may have a little surprise for you coming up. just maybe. just maybe. >> that's a tease. >> i like surprises. >> yes, you do. and, you know, now we'll get to the details about the best picture blunder that we talked about all morning. the wrong winner was announced at the academy awards. amy, we were there at the oscars. you were backstage and you have more on what happened behind the scenes. it must have been chaotic. >> that's right. i mean it was stunned silence for awhile and yes, chaos certainly ensued. it was the hollywood ending that noun sno one saw coming. in nearly 90 years of history it's only happened once before and now we are learning what exactly what went wrong. >>

>> reporter: this morning everyone still asking how exactly could this happen? the biggest award hollywood's biggest night and the wrong envelope? >> there's a mistake. "moonlight," you guys won best picture. >> reporter: the answer we now know, this accountant brian cullinan seen here on the red carpet with fellow accountant martha ruiz handed warren beatty the wrong envelope. look closely, it says actress in a leading role, not best picture. it seems like an improbable mistake. in this promotional video by pricewaterhousecoopers, the two discuss their responsibilities. >> martha and i are really the only two know who the winners are on the night of the academy awards. there are 24 categories. we have the winners in sealed envelopes that we hold and maintain throughout the eve"2n and hand those to the presenters just before they walk out on stage. >> each have their own set of identical envelopes. had memorized the winners and were supposed to be on opposite sides of the stage all night. although you can

together here backstage at one point. cullinan posting this now deleted backstage photo of emma stone on twitter at approximately 9:05:00 p.m. pacific time. apparently just moments much beatty and dunaway took the stage. >> except for the end it was a lot of fun. >> reporter: overnight oscars host jimmy kimmel giving a play-by-play of sunday's dramatic moment. >> for whatever reason they have two of each card in each envelope. there's a regular envelope and a backup envelope just to make it more confusing. >> reporter: but for pricewaterhousecoopers, it's no laughing matter. the company issuing a statement overnight saying, once the error occurred protocols for correcting it were not followed through quickly enough by mr. cullinan or his partner. adding for the past 83 years the academy has entrusted pricewaterhousecoopers with the integrity of the awards process during the ceremony and last night we failed the academy. and that now deleted photo cullinan tweeted was posted as we said at 9:05:00 p.

took the stage at 9:02. beatty opened that envelope about six minutes later, but earlier in the night look at this. cullinan and his partner martha ruiz also taking photos on the red carpet including this one with you, michael. what did they tell you? was the point being these -- >> blame mikey. >> what did you know and when did you know it? >> every year on the red carpet i see these two and they are lovely people. they really do take their job seriously but i do think it is a big moment for them, as well. so they got caught up in the moment. i don't know what happened. they wouldn't tell me anything. >> they're sequestered away in a room. >> larry hackett is here to talk about it. you got brian cullinan and this must be the best perk of the job to his worst nightmare. a serious question for pricewaterhousecoopers. >> it is and the sacrifice has been made. pricewaterhousecoopers has decided as always the client is always right. they're apologizing profusely to the academy and trying to stop

warren beatty's fault. was it faye dunaway's fault and taking all the responsibility. there is something interestingly psychological about it. these two people are the only civilians on the red carpet amidst all of this glitter and there's something almost about you -- what were these civilians doing at the show. they ruined it for all these glittering hollywood stars. somebody has to pay. >> how can it be warren beatty's fault? >> because someone could say he clearly knew it was the wrong card. >> he didn't say it. >> he could have walked off and said, listen, i have the wrong -- this is clearly -- >> he clearly could have said this says emma stone. >> at that moment i think -- i think that's why he tried to show faye dunaway. she was not realizing what he was thinking. >> look, i got the wrong card. it wasn't me. >> it is precisely that discussion. was warren going to give the card up? was anybody going to do anything? they don't want that conversation to go on for the

to stop. >> it's a shame we're not having a conversation about "moonlight." >> that's correct in it was a significant win for them. it was a significant film and that is not what's being discussed. >> and the mistake was caught. "moonlight" got the oscar, right, so that was going on. and there's something -- the world we live in. had conversations on this about the twittersphere and social media. the mercylessness upon this man, refs make mistake. people miss foul shots. defenses sometimes let people score. this is absolutely brutal. >> but does price waterhouse survive. >> it's a $36 billion company. >> does cullinan survive. >> i'm not sure cullinan will walk the red carpet next year but it would be unbelievably cruel if he lost his job because of that. they have done this for 83 years and this has never happened before so i think they get a mulligan. >> you're right to argue for proportion. >> absolutely, absolutely. it's just merciless. >> i want to talk about what a great film "moonlight" was. >> and

and i see what barry jenkins said what makes the oscars great, a movie like this who nobody had any idea this would happen that it's become this and more people will see it and get its message. >> it took them eight years. it's his story. it was a small budget film. no one was really talking about it. but people -- i remember when we had barry here and naomie harris and mahershala ali, won an oscar and just the artistic and the way it deals with that community. it was just astounding. >> visionary and hypnotic and incredible movie. >> thanks for letting us talk about it. >> absolutely. >> coming up, the biggest loser's fitness guru bob harper luc lucky to be alive after suffering a heart attack. dr. besser is here when we come back in a mere two minutes.

here. we don't know the full details about him but it's possible that he could have had a heart attack at an even younger age if he wasn't exercising. for people who don't have heart disease if you don't exercise your risk of a heart attack 150 times greater than those who exercise regularly. even for those who have had a heart attack regular exercise, they'll get back to work and back to their life much, much sooner. if you haven't exercised in a long time you want to get checked out before you start but exercise is good for everybody. >> warning signs while you're exercising, rich, we should watch out for. >> you know, those typical signs of heart problem, so chest pain, pain in your jaw, pain down your arm, shortness of breath, those things can be an indication that you might be getting into trouble. if you have that you want to stop and get seen immediately. >> absolutely. all right. rich, thanks so much. michael. thank you, robin. coming up on our big board, o.j. simpson's big parole hearing. could he soon be a free man?

type of crime to his age to his behavior in prison, he gets the checks on almost all of them and as a result, if he wasn't o.j. simpson, i would say to you, yeah, he's probably going to get parole. why wouldn't he? he was actually paroled on some of the other charges in 2013. >> that's right. >> so he's just waiting on the most serious charge to get paroled, but he's o.j. simpson. all this attention. makes it sort of a who knows situation >> we had an interview with fred goldman right here on "gma" and he said he feels full of disgust, the thought of him being released from prison. can they go after his earnings? >> they'll continue to go after it. o.j. simpson has done everything he can to avoid paying the goldmans the money he owes them. he'll continue doing that the goldmans will continue doing what they can to make him pay but it's a very tough situation that the goldmans are in and

thank you, dan. next up, 29-year-old tim tebow trying to make a cut in the major leagues as a major league baseball player, he went from the jets to the mets and in batting practice nine home runs on monday at the start of spring training for the new york mets but some critics are crying foul saying it's all a publicity stunt and tim joins us from the mets training facility in port st. lucie, florida. hello there, tim tebow. >> what's up, guys. >> nine home runs. i expected ten. what's up? you're slacking. >> i'm working -- it's just day one, michael. come on, man. >> but seriously, how does it feel for you to be in training camp with the mets and kind of fulfilling the next journey in your professional career? >> it feels great. honestly it's kind of a dream come true being out here with the mets organization, a bunch of awesome guys getting a chance to play a game i love. it was just so

putting on a uniform yesterday, going to warm-ups in the stretch line, getting back in the routine, being part of a team, and competing. it was a blast. i had a lot of fun. >> how much did playing ball last year help you for what you're doing right now? >> i think it helped a lot. getting the opportunity to be here for a couple of weeks and play some in the arizona fall league, i think that really helped but i think this will be kind of the best for me because it's every day for the next couple of months being able to train, listen to great coaches, work every single day, be part of a team and so i honestly know it's going to be tough. it's going to be a huge challenge but it's something i'm really looking forward to. >> you haven't played baseball since high school before you put on the mets uniform so what has been the toughest part of, you know, lack of a better word getting back in the swing of it? >> i like that. a little pun there. you know, i think one of the biggest parts is just picking up different pitches. yo

90 miles an hour and then you see a change-up and a slider and a cutter and you're picking up different pitches and that's where i think more at bats and more at bats and seeing more pitches will help, you know, because there's just not really a way to simulate that in a batting cage? seeing you in the batting cage, that nice swing, nice and fluid like that. so what is the response you're hearing from people? you got a lot of people who follow you, tim, who appreciate your spirit and all that. what are you hearing from your folks? >> well, you know, it's nice to have the fans come out and support and obviously you'll have people on both sides. you'll have people out here supporting and that are great and then also people that, you know, want to bring you down and, you know, for me this is something that i'm doing for the love of it. the love of the game, the love of pursuing passions, the love of being able to live a dream every single day and for me it's really focusing on the love and not the doubt, not the unknown, not the fear of it. not what critics are going to say

the love of it. i know you know what i'm talking about. >> amen to that. >> one quick question, quick, honest answer, all baseball players think it's harder than football. all football players think it's harder then baseball. which one is harder, football or baseball, go? >> i'll tell you this -- >> no, no. >> i do not get hit as hard in baseball as i do in football. that's true. there are no michael strahans trying to tackle me. >> all right. thank you. >> bless you, timmy. i know your foundation is having a big gala. good luck with all that and all the work you're doing with your foundation. wonderful. >> i appreciate you guys. what was spotted moving across it. ginger with that and the bachelor and corinne sent home last night.

>> some of the sips can be doubt, despair, depression, anxiety because, remember, when you feel like you're going to get caught you're always looking behind your shoulder and may be isolated so sense of nervousness and anxiety. >> some have jokingly said i'm going to get found out and things like that but it can run deeper than that so if you find yourself in that situation, what are some things you should do? >> well, things you can do is just self-manage. never allow other people to validate you. we should feel like if i'm there it's because i ought to be. and also to challenge that inner voice, that negative inner voice says wherever if comes from, your parents, where you were brought up you shouldn't be there or you can't do that and you replace it with, yes, i can and also to be mindful. when you notice that you're nervous or anxious to take a deep breath and take in the moment and root yourself in reframing negative to positive and

space, show up because what oftens happens if you feel like you're an impostor you'll be silent or won't ask questions or won't ask for help when, in fact, you have earned everything, be courageous, claim your space. >> on the count of three i want everybody to say, yes, i can. one, two, three. >> all: yes, i can. >> absolutely. janet, thank you so much. coming up the most talked about woman on this season of "the bachelor," corinne is here. thank you. ugh out loud, btw by the way, and of course, wbyceiydbo we'll buy your car even if you don't buy ours hey, what if i wanted to sell my car? wbyceiydbo! wbyceiydbo? we'll buy your car even if you don't buy ours wbyceiydbo wbyceiydbo!! wbyceiydbo wbyceiydbo!! wbyceiydbo! wbyceiydbo!!! wbyceiydbo!!! no, no, we're cool. i got you. ok. it's the right thing to do. ♪ carmax music sting

to -- somebody to give you a song like that and put it into your care to go in and make a record. i mean it was scary for me because anybody who heard lori sing, she sent me it with her voice and just an accusic guitar and took my head a while to get around it. in the end i think it turned out all right in it was worth the wait. let's put it that way. worth the wait. going back out on tour with this little woman, faith hill. >> i know. i know. better part of me.

arc of the movie that followed the arc of the movie. >> i saw it last night and it was perfect. when your song came on at the end and i never really stay all the way through the credits and i did because the song was playing and it was. tell people about "the shack." >> it's a movie that is based on a very popular book called "the shack" written by paul young. most people have probably heard of it or heard of the story, very tragic thing that happens to a family and the father who loses his way in the process of this devastating loss and it's about redemption and finding your way and redemption, it's about love. it's about forgiveness, it's about all the things, no matter what your belief system is it's about all the things that we all strive for in life and when we lose our way, how do we find our way back? >> not judging. >> it's a beautiful story no matter what your belief system is, i think it's a beautiful story first off. >> do we have a little clip of that. >> yes, we do. let's watch it.

>> you think i wrote this? >> mentions the shack. signed papa. who else knows that? >> where did you get it? >> it was in my mailbox. somebody put it there. >> who would took place this low? should we call the police. >> go to the police and say what? a letter theyed up in my mailbox with no tracks in the snow and it's signed by god.

and i play the holiest of -- >> oh. >> i play god because when he was a little boy, the only person that showed him kindness was a woman who looked like me, so god reveals himself in a way, in a manner he could receive. >> thank you for saying it like that. whenever a movie like this is done, people bow up a little bit, religious figures and say, wait a minute, you playing god and it's like how that person perceives and how it's represented to them. >> right. >> that comes through in the film. >> and also we explain that in the film. but it's still all of those principles that i grew up on with, you know, christianity. >> what challenged me, octavia, when i was watching it is it was some of the questions that i've asked myself, i've gone through some illnesses, some loss and i'm a very spiritual person and it's like where is
