Secret location. Well take a rare official tour with forest rangers who are struggling to protect the trees from visitors. But we begin this morning with a look at todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. Ive never seen anything like this. This is absurd. My heart was racing. That was a nightmare. A massive power outage cripples atlantas airport. Power has been restored but the trouble is not over. The president s lawyers are accusing muellers team of improperly obtaining thousands of emails from the president s Transition Team. Is he settinghe stage for firing robert mueller. No way. Hes not going to fire him. Were on the verge of getting this done the single biggest change to the tax system ever that President Trump is going to sign this week. Massive tack breaks for the rich cuts in social security. This is a grossly unfair tax bill. Wildfires in southern california, growing to the largest in the nations history. The flames are like three stories high. Theyre scary to look at. The owner of the Panthers Team is selling the team. All that he blew out candles on a pizza. And all that matters. An explosion of love for ryan shazier after the horrific injury. They didnt know he was coming. That was as loud as ive heard it. That was rocking. On cbs this morning. Two sisters found dance partner at southwest airlines. The air Traffic Controller waving at them and keeping up with them. There goes the chicken dance. I knew it was coming. Announcer this mornings eye opener presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Thats a good way to start the morning, right . I think so too. A good sense of humor mr. Southwest man on the tarmac. Absolutely. Im Norah Odonnell with gayle king and Anthony Mason whos with us all week. Great to have you. Great to be here. Thousands are still stuck in atlantas airport as a power outage shut down the worlds busiest fire knocked out power for nearly 11 hours. Power was restored just before midnight.

Kris van cleave is at hartsfieldjackson with the major disruption at the key hub. Kris, good morning. Reporter good morning. Many of those 30,000 travelers are going to be trying to get out of here today. Let me show you what the airport looks like as we take a view here. This really came at an awful time. The Airlines Look at sunday as the start of the Christmas Travel rush. This is an airport thats busy on a good day. 275,000 passengers on average, 2,500 planes coming and going. So today really becomes about recovery. Tears of joy late sunday night at hartsfieldjackson when the lights finally came back on. It was great when the lights came back on. That was exciting. Backout in atlanta. Reporter but for much of the day, this is what the inside of the nations Busiest Airport looked like. Thousands of passengers stranded inside as the airport ground to a standstill. We were literally carrying old people down the escalators and up escalators and carrying wheelchairs and my heart was racing because im scared for these peoples lives. We had to walk down the escalator, which is a nightmare and then we had to go through the tunnels that are pitch black. It was scary. That was a nightmare. Reporter hundreds more were stuck inside airplanes waiting for a gate. We sat on the plane for six hours. I have my 5monthold with me. Were trying to get to florida. All flights are canceled. Reporter a fire in the underground hub took out the power station. I want to be very clear. We do have a redundant system but it was impacted by the intensity of the fire. Reporter the power outage hit delta the hardest. Atlanta is its main hub. Continued issues monday in atlanta could mean problems at airports across the country. As a result you have this terrible mess with airplanes not where they should be crews not where they should be, and passengers not where they should be. Reporter thats why delta canceled more than 300 flights mainly this morning as they try to restart normal operations midday. Of course, the big question now is how does a your primary system take out the redundant system. Thats going to be a question flyers are going to want answers to. Thank you.

Reporter but the president said he was troubled by allegations made by hisgu that mueller unauthorized access to thousands of emails. Its not looking good. Its not looking good. Its quite sad to see that. My people are very upset about it. Reporter mueller is pushing back and said the emails were obtained legally. In a rare statement his spokesman said when we have obtained email we have secured, consent, or appropriate process. I cant imagine it, frankly. As we said theres no collusion, no collusion whatsoever. But a lot of lawyers thought that was pretty sad.

Congressional republicans say their landmark tax reform bill will be on the president s desk this week. The house of representatives intends to vote on the plan tomorrow. The senate is intending to vote no later than wednesday. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the approaching end of a long quest for republicans. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. There is no more tinkering. The tax bill is set, and the republicans insist they have the votes to pass it. Now they need to prove to the American People the tax cuts are worth the cost. This is a historic event. Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin says the traction plan will primarily benefit the middle class. This will be very large tax cuts for working families. Working families may need some convincing. A recent cbs news poll found almost 70 of americans think the plan will help the wealthy. Its a huge giveaway to big corporations. Democrats pointed to a lastminute deductiontax bill benefiting those with Real Estate Income like President Trump and former holdout senator bob corker. Is that how you got senator corker, with this provision . The provision youre talking about, honestly, is just one piece of a thousandpage bill. In a Statement Last night corker said he had no knowledge of the passthrough bill in question and asked how it made it into the final conference report. The bill thats planned to be passed tomorrow will reduce rates. This is something thats designed to energize the economy. It should work. The question, will it boost the economy enough to justify the price tag. This bill is not going to pay for itself. Everybody knows that. Battling brain cancer will not be here to vote for i understandcw hell come if we ever needed his vote which i believe we wont. Ccains soninlaw told journalists mccain was flown home sunday to spend the holidays with his family. He remains one of the toughest men on the earth. The fact that theyre moving ahead without mccain shows they dont believe theyll need his vote at the end and the handful of gop holdouts will end up voting yes when push comes to shove, anthony. Nancy, have we seen anything . There could be something there that gives lawmakers cold feet. That will show us who wins and who loses from this tax plan. I have to tell you even democrats i have spoken to think at this point republicans have this in the bag even though they believe it will hurt them plitt ukly in the long run. Nancy cordes thank ss.

Theyre investigating the allegations and despite a long release yesterday by richardson the former nfl player turned team owner has yet to address the arcizations directly but the new report reveals a pattern of behavior that created a hostile work environment. Since the panthers arrival in North Carolina more than two decades ago, billionaire owner Jerry Richardson has been at the helm, and during that time according to sports illustrated, at least four female employees received financial settlements from either richardson or the team. Misconduct allegations range from sexual to racial. There was the seatbelt maneuver. Inviting female employees to lunch and when seating them in his car, hes brushed their breasts.

Richardson purchased the panthers back in 1993 for some 200 million. Its net worth is now 2. 3 billion. The panthers released a statement saying the entire organization is committed to providing a safe comfortable, and diverse vieshtenvironment.

Yeah, but look at the other replay on the other side. Steelers fans thought they scored a gamewinning touchdown the in the final minute but officials waved it off. The patriots won, 2724, taking a very important step toward the playoffs. That really did look like one of those plays that could have gone either way. I know norah, at your house you were doing the hula. There was screaming, jumping up and down. It was the most incredible ending to the game preceded by brady and gronk touching down. I looked at that and thought, i dont know. I was going to say, good thing that Research Official was not in pittsburgh last night. He would have needed security. Thats whats so great about football, is plays like that. Great game. Both teams did a really nice job. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Here are three things you should know this morning. Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin says a Government Shutdown is unlikely. He said, i cant rule it out, but i cant imagine it occurred. It keeps the government running until this friday. The measure bought time for republicans to finish negotiations on their tax bill. Time is running out to get your Holiday Gifts sent out in time for christmas. Guess id better get moving huh.

Anthony, i wear a size 10 shoe 11 for designer. And we heard chickfila sprang into work yesterday to help provide food for those stranded at the airport. In a tweet the hartsfieldjackson atlanta the inner National Airport called the gesture a miracle. Our separate sixmonth cbs news investigation looked into how the academy handles assault cases. We spoke to more than a dozen current and former cadets who told us they faced retaliation from peers and military leadership for reporting Sexual Assaults. The academys superintendent says hes now open to all ideas that would help support victims. Its a real opportunity for us to get out and be part of the national conversation. The reckoning, the me too movement, the things that were talking about. Lieutenant general superintendent jay silveria at the air force academy in Colorado Springs said it is investigating the expansion of the investigation with better staff and efforts. I intend to be relentless in pursuing the perpetrators of these horrible crimes and holding them accountable, but i also desperately want to help all of the victims in any way that i can. His remarks to the Colorado Springs gazette newspaper came days after denying on cbs this morning that the academy had a problem with the way it handles Sexual Assault. Do you think there are problems there . I dont think there are problems, and let me tell you why. We know that across the nation and across campuses, this is underreported. So i want reporting to go up so that i can provide that care provide that support. Last month the academy released a scathing investigation into its Sexual Assault prevention and response office, accuseing former director Teresa Beasley of a lack of competency to jeopardize victim care. Beasley told cbs news shes been made a scapegoat for standing up to leadership and advocating for survivors. Is the air force academy supportive of those who report Sexual Assault . I would have to say absolutely not, no. More than a dozen current and former cadets told cbs news they reported their assaults only to experience retaliation by their peers and their commanders. I was terrified of reporting because ive heard of things that happen to people and it did happen to me so its not stories. Reporter Lieutenant General silveria is also open to allowing cadets who were sexually assault to transfer to another military academy. The focus shouldnt be moving survivors and disrupting their lives. There should be reforming so there isnt retaliation against those who report. Who authoredmemoir. Theyre often traumatized in ways that will affect them for the rest of their lives, and meanwhile perpetrators continue to graduate and serve in the armed services. The air force academy tells cbs news that in the past five years one cadet perpetrator of Sexual Assault has been convicted in a courtmartial proceeding. Others accused were pushed out of the academy. Your report norah opened a lot of eyes. People stopped me on the street to talk about it. So i wonder if the general looked back at your two pieces and said let me do that again. Think a lot of people felt he dropped the ball here. I think the key is not only how do they fix the problem, but why isnt there a focus on prevention. Which is exactly right and for women to continue to please speak out. Agreed. More than 300 passengers aboard a caribbean cruise ship are recovering after falling ill with a nasty stomach virus. The Royal Caribbean cruise ship independence returned fort in florida after a fiveday cruise. More than 500 people were on board. The ship said it would be thoroughly cleaned.

Do i need a british accent. If theres long pauses in between, youre going to get the face. Oh, okay. I dont want to see that face. Those two have great chemistry, you see there. The pair sat down together in september during the invictus games. President obama shared his memories in the last days of office and shared his plans to cult vat the last generation of leaders through the foundation. While the former president and prince are not exactly strangers, the royal admitted he was just a little nervous. Ill interview you if you want. No, no. Lets keep it this way. Id much prefer that.

Look on the faa. My gosh. Reporter this appeared off the coast of california in 2004 and baffled two navy pilots. Its not a drone. Its not something that we can easily say oh thats an airplane.

After my dvt blood clot, i had a lot on my mind. Could this happen again . Was my warfarin treatment right for me . My doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both and that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

The power is back on at the worlds Busiest Airport, but Peter Greenberg is here with how the outage in atlanta is still having a Ripple Effect across the country. Plus driving a car faster than most airplanes can fly. Well meet the man who wants to go a thousand miles an hour. He feels the need the need for speed. But first your eye opener at 8 00. Thousands are stuck at the airport after a massive power outage shut down the worlds Busiest Airport. Many of those travelers are going to be trying to get out of here today. A lawyer for President Trumps Transition Team claims some of the emails bob muellers team gathered contained personal information. President trump thanked them. No more tinkering. The tax bill is set, and republicans insist they have the votes to pass it. Now they just need to prove to the American People that the tax cuts are worth the cost. The former nfl player turned team owner has yet to address the accusations directly. Freeman at the horn for three. When you finally break through and get that win over a power fight Conference Team you dance. Thats exactly what spartans head coach wes miller did in the locker room. Thats what victory looks like in the locker room. Theyre pumped up. I like to see happy people. Thats what my living room looked like after the patriots win. I believe it. Ive seen that crew after a game. Im gayle king along with Norah Odonnell and Anthony Mason who will be here with us all week. An electrical fire left an estimated 30,000 passengers stramted ed stranded in the airport and on the tarmac. Crews took nearly 11 hours to restore power. More than 1,100 flights were canceled yesterday by the time power was restored. More than 400 flights are canceled today. This is affecting travel across the entire country. Kris van cleave is at hartsfieldjackson interNational Airport in atlanta this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Airlines are trying to get back to normal. Still, you heard 400plus cancellations today. Georgia power tell us they believe this fire may have started because of an fire in an underground electrical facility that may have involved what they call a piece of switch gear that failed and the fire damaged backup systems. Delta is by far the most affected airlines here. They serve about 75 of the passengers out of the airport. The airline has canceled more than 300 flights again today. They say they did that with the goal of getting back to normal operations by the afternoon. When the storm hit atlanta back in april, it grounded flights, took delta five days and about cellations to get back on track. A that time delta said they need to make significant improvements. This will be a good test of those changes, gayle . Thank you very much. Cbs news travel editor Peter Greenberg joins us at the table. Peter, Everyone Wants to know how long its going to take to get back to normal. Just because the planes are flying doesnt mean the passengers are. Thats right. It will probably take them 24 hours to get back to speed. They canceled 900 today. Theyve got to get the planes back to atlanta so they can operate those. They will do that. But the crews are out of sequence, the planes are out of cycle. Thats part a. Part b, whats going to happen for the passengers. The planes are full for the rest of this week. If you were holding for a reservation for the 17th which was yesterday, youre not getting out today or tomorrow. How significantly does this ripplether airports . Big time. Its not that they through it. They fly through it. You have people throughout the country who cant get back to where they wanted to go. Plan b for them is how are they going to get there without going through atlanta. The Atlanta Mayor said the backup power system also went down. You need a dedicated power system and backup power system not substations along the line. When that happened it tripped and tripped and tripped and they couldnt handle it. Remember when you close an airport, its ground stop. Thats why nobody could move. They couldnt operate the jet ways and escalators. Lets not talk about where the bags went. What about direct flights. They also take a big hit here too. They do. Were talking about international flights. Theyre diverted. Theyre low on fuel and they cant get their passengers back until they get them back through atlanta. So those international flights, youve got people overseas who cant get out because the planes havent come back. Ive got daughter coming home from college and people traveling over the holidays and theyre sitting at home is this going to affect me. It is. You have to come up with a contrarian view of travel. Nonstop flights, forget them. Theyre full. If youre traveling welcome to st. Louis, chicago, Salt Lake City because youre not going to get there nonstop. What airlines are doing is offering waivers. Theyre all saying if you were going through or to atlanta, you can rebook or cancel with no thats the good news. The bad news is rebooking aint going to be easy. Peter greenberg, you always have the best information. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. President trumps strategy calls for competition with countries like russia and china. The president will change longstanding policy to focus on homeland and economic security. Theyll protect the critical infrastructure. It does not name Climate Change as a National Security threat.

You remember that song in school. Its hidden deep within Northern Californias redwood forests stands a grove of ancient trees. They were discovered by researchers in 1998 who decided to keep the location secret. But as John Blackstone reports, someone put the corewhere they are on social media. Reporter its like stepping back in time. The towering trees, the exact location of the tallest named the grove of titans has long been kept secret to help preserve them. The earlier philosophy is were not telling people. Were still not telling people. That worked. Reporter brett silver has agreed to lead me there. Home of the largest trees in the world. This is not an official state park trail. No. This is one of the trails visitors have created by searching. Reporter a few years ago someone posted the gps coordinates. Images like this led thousands to the area of the secret grove. Trails creating the social trails. That just enhanced the hunt. Yeah. It peaks peoples interest. People got intrigued into the big tree hunt like trophy hunters. Reporter and like trophy hunters, people posed with the titans sharing them online as proof of their conquest. You can see the steps leading higher and higher to get that focus. Reporter he studies the damage done by foot traffic. Along with destroying native plants the soil compact caused by standing noekt a red harms the are tree is so tall so enormous its hard to believe people hanging around down here are going to do it harm. Most of the roots are near the surface. It kills the small roots where nutrients are taken up into the tree to help the tree grow. You can see the wear where someone has put their hand or foot. Broken bark leads them to be vulnerable to insects and disease. And while some live 2,000 years, 95 of californias redwoods have been lost. Cutting their way into trees that may be as old as our civil dags. Reporter the logging industry followed. Now the conservancy is raising money to protect the titans. You walk into the old grove. It puts everything in perspective. Reporter 1. 4 million is needed for raised walkways to help without endangering the trees. The park says its nearly a threeyear project. I know its kind of a reach. They go are you going to ask people to stay on trail . Yes. Thats our only defense. Reporter by staying on the trails visitors can still see the forest and save the trees. John blackstone Crescent City california. I was wondering what was wrong with it. I like the idea dont you . Raised walkways. Would be such a shame to lose those trees. Such a ma judge tick shot. I want to go. Ahead, we look at what it takes to build a car that goes over 1,000 miles an hour. Reporter creating a car to go 1,000 miles an hour but how do you learn to drive it . Flying me upside down in a stunt plane to understand the force of gravity during the drive. Well have the story coming up on cbs this morning. At college inn we craft a deeper, richer broth because every detail matters. We select allnatural chicken and flavorful herbs and spices. College inn broth helps you make every meal delicious. College inn, delicious is in the details. This morning in our pushing the limits series we take a look at a project redefining speed. They hope they can travel more than 1,000 miles an hour. It would shatter the current land speed record. Charlie dagata took to the sky with the cars driver. Hes a former jet fighter pilot. Hes putting his body through a toll by flying an aerobatic plane. Reporter this is just a hint of whats to come a test run. Crank the beast up to a mere 200 miles an hour and the see how she handles. Ten years and 40 million in the making, the man behind the wheel and the project is andy green. The former raf fighter pilot, hes held the record since 1997 before you could google land speed record. It doesnt leap into the air to explode, i was delighted to find out. It is possible to drive supersonic, but we did it. Reporter if that bloodhound has doors, theyre aiming to blow them off. It would shatter it. Were going to have an engineers adventure that will push back the boundaries of physics, literally push back the boundaries of human endeavor. Reporter to get a hint of what that feels like green took me up in a stunt plane to explain the g load the body experiences during the real thing, simulating the exact conditions of the 1,000mileanhour run. I was just hoping i didnt pass out. Thats 20 miles an hour for second. Eight seconds later were doing 200 miles an hour. 355. Were going to fire now. 1,000, 1, 1,000, 2. Were doing 500 miles an hour already. Reporter as the blood rushed to my head i felt like it was going to explode. Then came the worst part of all. Deceleration at three times the force of gravity. Three, two, one. 800 miles an hour. 750. Were already down below the speed of sound. Still slowing down. It feels so slow. How are you feeling now . Exhilarated. Boy, it feels like you just got slammed right in the chest. I mean the force on the body. Thats exactly so. Its fairly unpleasant. I didnt know which way was up. Literally i didnt know which way was up. Reporter the gutwrenching gforces from tapping into the lunatic fringe of technology. It took the rollsroyce jet engine found in a euro fighter and mounted it on top of a rocket. Yes, a rocket. This is what it looked like in testing. The stats are facemeltingly staggering. 25,000 feet the altitude it would reach if pointed straight in the air. 17 times the height of the empire state building. 135,000 horsepower. Every indy 500 car on the track combined seven times over. At top speeds shell cover a mile in 3. 6 seconds, more than four football fields per second. Oh, baby oh baby. Reporter big stiff competition from the United States and the proven 500mileperhour north American Eagle and from australia down under, tin vader, although still primarily in the planning stages. Bloodhound leads the hunt for now, which brings us back to that test run. Those signs of nerves as green dons his fireproof onesie. Its as fast as this car has ever gone, but the plan is to reach five times that speed. Reporter the result, 210 Miles Per Hour. When you got out of there, you were as giddy as ive seen you. Exciting day for you . We came here to show how good this car is and how ready it is for the car to go faster. The car didnt just do that. It did it in spades. Reporter the team is now gearing up to smash their own world record next year. And with the competition choking on the afterburner, the only thing the blood hound is chasing is destiny.

Some cloud cover is out there. Here early on, on our monday, but we will see sunshine break through the cloud going through the afternoon. Now, temperatures will reflect it as we get little bit warmer in the day as what, we could be up near 50 degrees, thats seasonably warm. Close to the average but little bit above. That means that any left over snow that is out there from last week, and through the lasted through the weekends, is likely to melt before the day is all said and done. Here are the temperatures that were looking at here, so far this morning. Were in that mid 30 range for lots of folks still the freezing mark in mount pocono, 35 allentown trenton, 37 in philadelphia.

Silicon valley saw new changes on social media. This morning were high lighting some of the biggest stories and new developments we covered in 2017 as we take a look back at a year in tech. Apples new flagship iphone is the most expensive they have ever produced. We call this face i. D. Facebook reveals russian agents bought roughly 3,000 ads. I dont want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy. We have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. They spent the last year trying to make instagram nicer. Uber promises an urgent investigation into Sexual Harassment claims. Ive heard lots of Horror Stories from women. Equifax is dealing with fallout this morning over its massive data breach. You may be wondering why it took ub ear year to disclose to stolen data. They thought they could de delete it and it would be fine. Alexei how many tablespoons are in 3 4 cup. They say things you wouldnt want to be heard. We should be cautious. Nick thompson covered these stories for us throughout the year. Hes looking forward to what we can expect in 2018. Good morning. Good morning, norah. I know were wrapping up the year. What are one of the things we have to do as we saw them all testify before congress about russian interference in our elections. Where does that take us . Well, theres going to be that specific investigation that goes further. What i think is there is a moral reckoning where theyre really thinking about the influence they have on the world and a lot of that was triggered by the influence they had on the election where they thought, wait a second were responsible for the hostility . Were we responsible for what happened . You heard tim cook say for the first time moral responsibility. Absolutely. You saw just this week facebook saying, you know weve been studying weather social media is good for you. Thats crazy, that facebook is saying were going to take a look back and decide whether the thing we do is good. It turns out it is if you use it actively not passishly. It was an interesting study put out. Do you think Silicon Valley is becoming more introspective and taking stock . Yes absolutely. I think thats the biggest shift between this year and last year. In the olden days three years ago, four years ago, they were saying youre the most powerful company in the world. Think about it seriously. Theyre like, yeah okay okay. For so long they denied they that kind of influence and impact. They dont deny it anymore. What about Sexual Harassment in Silicon Valley . You saw it starting to come out. People are getting in trouble. The thing that captivates Silicon Valley thats so important is gender equality. Theyll reshape all these platforms and technology and all of the algorithms are written by men. You have a big problem. They Shape Society down the road. Sexual harassment is a big issuing but its not quite the way it works with the media. This is so interesting. This is really jodi kantors point in the New York Times. Who writes the stories who makes the decision who are the engineers who write the plan . If you see all the women are in the kitchen, then it writes the way a robot will act and sudenly you have robots acting on the gender bias data set down the road and you need somebody to stop it at some point and its more likely of a woman to stop that. Its something Silicon Valley is thinking about a lot. New rules for twitter to curb hate. What does that mean for the future of twitter . Twitter has a really hard problem based on the culture the structure of the system. Instagram, you know one of the big things in the year was all these companies trying to curb hate. Instagram has a much easier time doing it than twitter because twitter is a much more open fastmoving political forum. But twitter says theyre going to suspend them. Starting today. Thats going to be interesting how they define hate group and who they knock off there. Its going to get messy. There goes that moral responsibility. Yes. Oscar winner Christian Bale learns a native american language for his latest movie. Hes in the toyota green room in we are the tv doctors of america. And we may not know much about medicine, but we know a lot about drama. We also know that you can avoid drama by getting an annual checkup. So go, know, and take control of your health.

No. You r thought its very it tells the story of american in many ways. Its n its American History. Its violent, but thats American History as well. Its gripping beyond belief. Its all about overcoming hatred and bigotry and you see there. Hes a bigoted and hatefilled man. And indian chief. Theres the big difference, the blocker, the character you see there, his job is to well its genocide. His job is genocide. He knows that. This isnt your mom and hat, black hat, good cowboy, bad indian. Its not that as all. Its recognizingnocide the great painblocker, he the hatred is real and hes threatened the threatened to courtmartial. Its how do you overcome hatred and fighting without rendering the deaths of your friends and brothers in arms meaningfulness. Its a physical and emotional journey. Surprisingly sadly relevant more so since we stopped filming, you amard hatred. You say this isday. How so . Inmsf thatre nother,ot respecting people who u yourself. Terms of you meq ast tind in hollywood theite men run everything. You know we need so much more diversity. Were going to get so much of a richer culture because of it. We didnt intend that when we were making film, but weve seen these changes, these shifts in america since we shot it and so its become much more relevant. Youve learned some of the eso that . I had this wonderful person he would do a blessing for the whole crew which they would be really nervous about because its always about panic about time, time, time on film and it would take time but it would enhance it so much. You would have these horsemen and stuntmen bawling their eyes out. It was a raw miss and it helped with that. It enhanced the film incredibly. Im very indealted to chief philip for that. Can i mention gayle says you look a little different. She walked right past me. So we can say, you put on some weight, but for a role. Quite a lot of weight, yes. How manypounds.
