. >> caitlyn in the middle. >> she was more like a bookworm.he loved to read, academics. >> lauren grew up in maryland, halfway between baltimore and d.c., with her friend katie o'hare. >> we knew each other inside out. i'd always know she could cheer me up. she was a funny girl. she was a riot. >> how would she make you laugh? >> the things that would come out of her mouth sometimes didn't have a filter. >> why did she go south to go to school? >> she loved the south. she was a country girl at heart, and when she got there, she loved it. she didn't want to come back up here. >> and lauren certainly knew what she wanted. wanted to be a lawyer, but not one of those corporate types or even a crusading prosecutor. lauren wanted to be a public defender, a voice for the poor and the accused. why did she want to do that? >> she always wanted to help people. always. >> and mercer law school, perched on its hillside in one of macon's sweet spots seemed right for her. >> she was a fan of nancy grace. nancy grace graduated from there. >> oh, well. lauren

the most expensive, caitlyn jenner who charges $2,500 per video. brian baumgartner the most successful on the app? >> it's his persona. he takes a lot of pride in his craftsmanship of the videos. i think quality of cameo is something that is really important to people and the content is really funny. >> it's that comedy that plays to audiences. even the soup nazi from seinfeld is making six figures a year on the app. >> no soup for you! >> i am going to be a very rich dude. >> you already are, kevin. so several of brian's office cast mates are on cameo as well including oscar, stanley and meredith. but somehow toby is the most expensive one there charging 500 bucks per video. but, by the way, you guys with here, which celebrities would you love a cameo shout-out from? >> it wouldn't be toby because nobody likes toby. we all know bey -- i don't even need to finish it. >> you can't put a price tag on perfection. >> good answer. >> all my cameo appearances happen right here on abc news. it's whatever they're paying me. >> i may or may not have looked

caitlyn, amidst all of this, mitch mcconnell, he took 38 days. you heard kamala harris say, sure, it should have been earlier, we're glad it happen, let's move forward. mcconnell telling his caucus, stop with any further fights here, which is really saying i'm done with you president trump. any reaction from the white house yet? >> reporter: not a word from the president yet, which is telling in and of itself. the white house earlier couldn't say if the senate majority leader gave the president a heads up that he was going to make those remarks on the floor as he's done before on other occasions at times when he's contradicted the president, the rare occasions. erin, the white house realizes not that just mcconnell said this, it's the signal he's saying to other republicans, cut this out. they have been enabling and humoring the president on his efforts to try to overturn the election or at least push this public relations campaign and delay the inevitable which is joe biden becoming president. yes, there will always be that core group of house m

>> and david gergen, you hurt caitlyn talk about how unpredictable the president is. he's never been this unpredictable, according to what caitlyn is hearing from her sources. what does that say about, you know, the country and the position that the country is in right now? to have an unpredictable president in this fashion in the remaining days he has in office. >> i think it's extremely dangerous for the country. it's extremely dangerous for joe biden when he comes in to govern in this kind of environment where people are so split apart, and it's dangerous for the republican party to go back to the question of bill cohen you raised initially, jim. there's a reason that bill cohen is saying that. there are a lot of republicans. believe it or not, who want to make government work. they do want to work across the aisle. and when they see this kind of charade, which is all about creating chaos and about delegitimizing joe biden and smearing the democratic party, there are naturally people in the republican party who don't want to be part of that, that are repelled by it

. >>> police in nashville searching for clues after the murder of a young icu nurse. 26-year-old caitlyn kaufman was shot and killed on the highway last week while driving to work. kaufman's family is baffled that anyone would want to hurt her. >> i just felt like our lives were shattered from that point on, like my heart just sank. >> it's a nightmare. >> reporter: kaufman is the third nurse at that same hospital to be killed since 2016. no connections have been made. police say they're chasing down leads from multiple tips. >>> turning now to the weather, much of maine is still without power after this weekend's nor'easter. more than 80,000 customers remain without electricity. at one point a quarter of the state lost power. >>> time now for a look at your monday forecast. the northeast wakes up this morning with windchills at midwinter levels. those temperatures mean the snow that fell over the weekend won't be melting until midweek. meanwhile. in california high wind and fire warnings are posted in the northern and southern parts of the state. the fire threat is critical in southern

authorities say 26-year-old caitlyn kaufman's suv was hit six times as she drove to work last week. the fatal bullet went through her shoulder. police still don't have a motive but they're looking into a possible connection in florida where two men were arrested for allegedly shooting into moving cars. kaufman's mother says she does not believe her daughter was targeted. >> she was a very compassionate young lady, had a heart of gold and was on her way to work to help other people. >> kaufman's mother says she was on the phone with her daughter before the shooting but had to hang up, and when she called back, there was no answer. >>> this morning we're celebrating the life and legacy of one of the world's most famous aviators. chuck yeager, the first to break the sound barrier, has died. as an air force captain in 1947 he flew over the mojave desert at 700 miles per hour. the moment was immortalized in the book and film, "the right stuff." yeager modestly said he was in the right place at the right time and just did his job. he was 97. >>> time now for a look at your tuesday forecas

caitlyn jenner is a hero, a man can become a woman, a woman can become a man, and that's to be celebrateden hilaria, or hillary, present yourself as being from spain when she's not, it is supposed to be condemned and mocked. i don't think it's that big of a deal, because you don't have to agree with her about her own identity, as you do and some of these other situations. >> julie: gillian, again, i laughed, but i don't think it's that big of a deal. certainly i'm not losing sleep at night over this. i just think it is so funny when celebrities try to b posed to be something they're not. >> gillian: it is, it's always great to have a reason to laugh at hollywood celebrities. i never thought of it in that framework before, but it's the case now in mainstream american culture that we must believe people are whoever they want to be coming we must identify them as they choose to identify themselves, then why are even having this conversation? and other question i threw out there, i don't know if anyone has any thoughts, why hilaria herself did this in the first place. meaning, what did she st

here's one from caitlyn from iowa. she's asking how will people who have already had covid be prioritized for vaccination? that's essentially i think the main question, there's a question about antibody testing to determine if someone needs the vaccine, but what does the vaccine mean for folks who have had covid is a really good question. >> it is a good question. so people who have already had covid or think they have it should still receive the vaccine that's because if you had natural infection we don't know how long your antibodies and your immunity will last. we don't know how consistent it is and the vaccination will give you longer and more consistent protection than getting the natural infection. so antibody testing is probably not going to be necessary and people should still get the vaccine even if they think they had coronavirus before. >> you have then two doses of these vaccines. you have lori from little rock, arkansas with a question about this. saying if i get the first dose how long after is the second

. >> caitlyn, thank you so much for that. >>> as barr threw cold water on conspiracy theories about this election, the attorney general said he's appointed a commission to look at the 2016 election. they're looking into whether the fbi broke the law during its investigation of then candidate trump and his campaign associates. durham's work has been known for some time but this new designation of special council, so it leafs him in a strange place to put it mildly. there is no evidence to back the president's claims that the fbi was out to get him deliberately. i found this appointment of special counsel interesting that he did it but he did this weeks ago. did he it on october 19th and we're just now hearing about it even though the attorney general has gone out of his way to talk about durham's work for a long time. he said more would be coming yet he kept this kwie owe the before the election. >> essentially i guess moves this issue into the next administration, right? it doesn't mean that this investigation ends here. it moves it into something that joe biden will have to deal with. >

caitlyn, the president again today totally silent about what's going on here. only one tweet, actually, about the coronavirus situation, most about the election again. >> reporter: none of the tweets about the hospitalizations or death rates. 3,000 americans a day die. this is what's concerning medical officials who say the vaccine news is good but we have to focus on what's happening across the country. the president's one tweet was about the vaccines, but he's viewing it less through this break through and more through the lens of the coverage that it's getting as you've seen the president do with many things. the way he sees things is shaped how others are seeing it. that seems to be something here. they've wanted the president to take a more public role in this education campaign about the vaccine. instead, we have not seen that from the president. he's not going to be the first person from the administration to get the vaccine on camera. we've already seen the defense secretary get it. we're going to see the vice president get it alongside the second lady

caitlyn, that has got to be something the president cannot simply understand. what are you hearing? when we said this comes out from the justices as a whole, as it did earlier this week with pennsylvania, but now with this texas case, he got all the republican politicians, not all, but all of his friends to sign on, but his supreme court justices, the ones he nominated and put on there, they were on board with saying they would have none of this. >> reporter: yeah. so far since this decision has come down, it's been complete silence here from the white house and from the president's campaign. we've reached out to them to ask for their response. erin, a lot of the people who were talking about this knew this was likely how this was going to end up. they weren't living in some different reality where they thought the supreme court could take this case, they knew it was a long shot. i heard from several republicans who put the names on the amicus brief, to join the lawsuit, they believed the supreme court would shut it down. they believed it to be a loyalty test. the president, i'm tol
