Water pouring over the top of the Anderson Reservoir is putting on a very powerful display here. All this rain is putting added pressure on rivers and streams. First responders are preparing for the worst. This is a sight people in morgan hill havent seen for more than a decade, water overflowing into the anderson dam spillway.

Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. President trump still does not have a National Security adviser and spent a good part of a working weekend of the winter white house interviewing candidates for that slot. He did take a break to spend time on the campaign trail reviving the imagery, rhetoric and adoration. The white house is running so smoothly. Reporter President Trump found shelter in a fawning political rally in florida this weekend denying disorganization and disarray in the white house. Im here because i want to be among my friends reporter the president still does not have a National Security adviser after retired general Michael Flynn was forced to resign last week for misleading white house officials about his conversations with the russian ambassador. Trump met with four possible replacements sunday including former u. N. Ambassador john bolton an keith kellogg, the acting National Security adviser. Robert harwood rejected an offer because the white house would not allow him to appoint his own staff. The issue with admiral harward never came up. Reporter Reince Priebus said the new National Security adviser can have a free hand. The nsa director can do whatever he or she wants to do with the makeup of the nsc. I also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. Reporter President Trumps sharp criticism of skrept cal News Coverage continued. In one tweet he called leading news organizations the enemy of the american people. On face the nation priebus said the president is right to attack the press. Its total garbage.

In belgium Vice President mike pence vowed the United States will continue working closely with members of the european union. In the last few days defense secretary james mattis visited four allies in europe and the middle east to smooth over the white houses message on foreign policy. Chip reid looks at the effort by the president s most influential deputies to soften his rhetoric. Good morning. Traveling overseas, top u. S. Officials are finding it necessary to go out of their way to calm our allies, reassuring them our commitments are unwavering. President trump came into office and has thrown now his full support to nato. On his first european trip as defense secretary, general james mattis sought to reassure allies who heard this repeatedly on the campaign trail. I will also be requesting that all nato nations promptly pay their bills. The u. S. Must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves. Reporter this morning general mattis touched down in bagdad for an unannounced visit to monitor the u. S. Backed war effort against itis. Shortly before his arrival the defense secretary distanced himself from these remarks made by mr. Trump last month. Always used to say keep the oil. I wasnt a fan of iraq. I didnt want to go into iraq. Were not in iraq to seize anybodys oil. Reporter it underscores the challenge white house officials face overseas balancing a cohesive u. S. Message with a commanderinchief who often speaks offthecuff. This is President Trumps promise, well stand with europe today and every day. Reporter Vice President mike pence was in brussels reassuring allies of the u. S. Commitment to their security while donald trump was making this confusing as sergs about recent terror in europe. You look at whats happening in germany, you look at whats happening last night in sweden. Sweden, who would believe this . Sweden, they took in large numbers, theyre having problems. There hasnt been a terror attack in sweden since 2010. Mr. Trumps statement prompted this tweet from the former swedish Prime Minister. Sweden, terror attack . What has he been smoking. Questions abound. The president took to twitter over the weekend to clear up confusion on his statement on sweden. He was referencing a report on fox news which referenced an increase of immigrants to that country. Michael morrell is a former Deputy Director of the cia, advised the Hillary Clinton campaign and joins us from washington. Good morning. Good morning. How important is the National Security adviser position, and should voters be concerned that there is no one in place right now today, a month in . With the secretary of state and secretary of defense, the National Security adviser is the most important. It is the National Security advisers job to bring the National Security Team Together and present options and recommendations to the president. So its an extremely important job, and the fact we dont have one right now is a problem. Vice admiral horowitz said part of the reason he turned down the job is because he couldnt have his own team. We heard Reince Priebus say now they can have whatever they want. Change in position . I think the kind of autonomy matters. Its important that the president of the United States is comfortable with your key deputies when youre National Security adviser. It makes sense that the National Security adviser would have to go to the president and say here is who i want to be my deputy, here is who i want in this job and that job, is that okay with you . But it should be nonnegotiable that steve bannon is not on the National Security principals committee. Its the kind of autonomy that matters here, not just autonomy itself. Are there different factions in effect developing in and around the National Security council, michael . I think so. I think one faction is steve bannon, steve miller faction which sees an existential threat to the United States from islam, not just jihadist islam, but islam itself, and from china. That faction sees russia as an ally in the fight against islam and the fight against china. Then youve got another group let by mattis and tillerson which is much more traditional National Security. The views arent that different from the obama administration. They see russia as a threat. And then you have trump himself which seems to believe that if there are direct lets to the United States like isis, well crush them. If not, we should withdraw from the world and worry about our own problem. Theres three different views out there and u. S. Policy has not come together yet in a way that reflects all three of those and how all thats going to work. On that note, michael, if you look at the Vice President s travel to europe this weaken, it seems like americas allies are deeply concerned about what they see as an incoherent u. S. Foreign policy. Whats your tark on that . Theyre hearing mixed messages. Its not just the iraq message we heard about oil. Its messages about russia. Its messages about the future of the alliance. Hearing one thing from the president and hearing other things from the president s team. I think whats important to remember is that the person they really listen to, the person they focus on are the words of the president of the United States, less important to them what the others say. Michael morrell, thanks very much. Newly revealed security video from malaysia shows the moment when the half brother of north koreas dictator was assassinated. The video shows an attacker wiping Kim Jong Nams face. He died a short time later. Malaysia wants north koreas ambassador to explain his criticism of the investigation. Malaysias Prime Minister says he believes police have been very objective. Adrianna diaz is following the story from beijing. Good morning. Reporter good morning. North koreas Ambassador Says malaysias investigation cannot be trusted. Hes also denied that the man killed is, in fact, kim jong nam. This comes as were getting a closer look at exactly what happened from the video that captured the incident. This chilling Security Camera footage shows kim jong nam navigating Kuala Lumpurs busy airport last month just moments before he is attacked.

Reporter sunday Malaysian Police say theyre working with interpol. Seven suspects are at large, four of them, all north korea, left the country on the day of the attack. We have to assist in the investigation, so we have to collect all the evidence pertaining to the involvement of these people. Reporter four others are already in custody, including a north korean chemistry expert and both alleged female attackers. The women told investigators they thought they were pulling a prank for a hidden camera tv show. While north korea has denied involvement, south koreas acting president placed the blame squarery on them today. The murder, he said, clearly demonstrates the recklessness and brutality of the north korean regime. This morning Kim Jong Nams son landed in malaysia, presumably to identify his fathers body. As for the suspects in custody, theyll appear before a court on wednesday and will likely either be charged or released. Adrianna diaz in beijing, thanks.

Reporter California Attorney john manly represents the women we interviewed and more than 40 other, one as young as 9 years old, and most under 18 at the time they say they were abused. How many women did he do that too . We know there are at least 60 that have come forward but my best estimate is its in the hundreds and possibly more. Jamie dan cher won a bronze medal in the games. Jessica howard was a National China in rhythm jgymnasts. All three are among those claiming that nassar abused them. I think your layer mr. Manly said it best when he said wrong when he described what was hanning. He also said during a piece last night that this has been going on for years. Why have you all decided, a, to speak up now . I think its important that we take these things that have been hid p for so long and expose them because there hasnt been a change in the sports for 30 years. For you . I decided to speak up because well, first of all, i didnt realized this happened to me until last year in july. What do you mean . You didnt know it was abuse. No. I didnt even think about it. What did you think it was, jamie . Treatment. I never even questioned it because i trusted dr. Nassar and usa gymnastics. So for me to speak up and come forward is about making sure this doesnt happen to little girls and that also, you know, other victims are out there right now. This is happening all over the u. S. Its important for them to know that they have a voice and that if they do speak up, theyre going be believed. Is this something you all ever talked about with each other or other gymnasts over the years or were you all kind of in the same boat that you didnt know what was happened to you. I know i never talked to anybody about it because i sought this treatment. There was sun tons of treatment you got including getting your ankle taped. You dont tell people you got your ankle taped. Its a normal thing. For all of u we just realized in the last five or six months it was abuse and then we connected over you know, over the last few months, its the first time we talked about it. To compare stories because none of you all knew it was happening to the other. When i was watching last night, i put on my mommy hat and thought, you never told your parents, you never said anything to your mom or dad about it. Why . I think for us when youre sent off to camp, i mean you dont really talk about stuff that happens in camp. And your parents my parents thought i was in good hands. They thought, you know, i was with a national team, everything was being done to protect me. Yeah. Are you usa gymnastics said it first learned of concerns in june of 2015. Are you happy with the way theyve reacted or do you think the organization did enough to protect you . No, absolutely not. In going back to the parenting, its important to know that they werent allowed to go to camp with us and theyre also highly encouraged not even to watch practice for over 30 years. By people other than the doctor, youre saying. Absolutely. Theres coaches, theres i mean people in gyms all across the country. My personal coach had abused somebody back in the 80s and it came out and nothing really happened about it. Abused how, gennett . What we heard just now . No. With other gymnasts back in the day. Different coach, difference abuse. You guys have filed lawsuit against usa gymnastics. What do you hope to accomplish . We want with all of our hearts for this to never happen again to anybody else and for the culture of abuse both emotional and physical and sexual just to not be a part of our sport. We all love our sport and we want it to come across to everybody watching to everybody who might fall in love with it that its safe and its not safe right now. Emotional abuse is rampant and physical abuse is out there and sexual abuse is a by product of what happens when that is the culture. All right. Jamie, jessica, gennett, thank you for coming forward.

First here is todays eye opener at 8 00. Thousands are without power after severe thunderstorms and a tornado tore through southern and Central Texas overnight. All of this rain is putting added pressure on rivers, streams and levies across much of california. Trump still does not have a National Security adviser and spent a working weekend interviewing candidates for that slot. How important is a National Security adviser position and should voters be concerned there is no one in place right now . With the secretary of state and secretary of defense, the National Security adviser is the most important. And the fact that we dont have one is a problem. U. S. Officials are finding it necessary to calm our allies, reassuring them that our commitments are unwavering. North koreas Ambassador Says malaysias investigation cannot be trusted. He also has denied that the man killed is, in fact, kim jongnam. An impatient dog was done waiting for her owner and wasnt shy about letting everybody around in that nearby parking lot know it. Like come on get that sandwich a little faster, mom. [ horn honking ] dogs are like people. Im gayle king with Anthony Mason and alex wagner. Charlie and norah are both off today. President trump is still looking for a new National Security adviser after forcing general Michael Flynn to resign for misleading white house officials, including the Vice President , about his conversations with the russian ambassador. John bolton, former u. N. Ambassador under president george w. Bush, army general h. R. Mcmaster, superintendent general Robert Caslen and retired general keith kellogg, the acting National Security adviser. The Trump Administration is expected to unveil a new executive order on immigration this week. This temporary ban will cover the same seven predominantly muslim countries but will not apply to green card holders and travelers on the way to the u. S. When the order is issued. Hillary clintons Campaign Manager, robby mook, has been calling attention to russias influence on the 2016 president ial race. On twitter he called for an independent, Bipartisan Commission to investigate and wrote in Britains Guardian earlier this month, quote, we have to take action now to root out russian and other foreign influences before they become too deeply enmeshed into our political ecosystem. Robby, good morning. Good morning. White house chief of staff Reince Priebus said yesterday on the sunday morning talk shows there was no collusion between anyone involved in the Trump Campaign and with russia. Do you buy that in if not, what questions do you want answered . I wish that were the case, honestly. This is a bipartisan issue, that foreign countries, particularly a foreign aggressor, like putin, could come in and influence our election. The more facts we learn, the worse it gets. Donald trump learns his staff never spoke to russia. Not only did our Intelligence Community intercept communications that his staff had frequently with russia, but donald trump was briefed on that and knew that had taken place when he said it didnt. Just yesterday the New York Times came out with a story of a gentleman named felix sader, actually sent a proposal through trumps lawyer, directly to trump, bypassed the entire National Security apparatus, proposing an end of russian sanctions in exchange for policy changes on ukraine. This is incredibly scary. And the big missing two big missing pieces here actually, we need to know more about what these conversations were with the russians and trumps staff. We have to see Donald Trumps taxes. Do you think thats going to happen, robby . I think donald trump may be telling us the truth when he says that hes not invested in russia. What i think is going on is russia is deeply invested in him. You take away that russian money, the whole financial structure falls apart. Congress has got to demand these taxes. Lets talk about congress. They could subpoena his tax returns. Are you confident republicans in congress leading these investigations will get to the bottom of this . Whats disappointing here, i dont think this is a partisan issue. I really dont. The idea that a foreign country has been able to burrow into our political system and favor one candidate over another should be disturbing to everybody. Republican senator Lindsey Graham and senator john mccain speak out on this. One Republican House member sign on to a Bipartisan Commission. Everybody has got to get on board. It was the democrats in 2016. Its going to be the republicans next time. We should all be afraid of this. But, robby, Team Trump Says this. Listen, your candidate lost. Deal with it. Your candidate was out of touch with america. Deal with t you are all trying to deflect and blame it on the russians. What do you say to that . I didnt bring up our campaign, whether it caused our loss or not. Do you believe that it did . I think it could have. This is the key. No Campaign Manager, no candidate should ever sit at a table like this on a news program and say, i dont know, the russians might have been the reason we lost the election. Its not important whether they were or not. Whats important is that it could have been the reason and that should never happen again. But you think the influence could extend just beyond elections and into domestic policy. How and why is that . Absolutely. Look, what the its very clever what the russians have set up. Its a whole system to disseminate information, propaganda news outlet. Rt, hired they have a lot of american followers and through all these channels they push out information and actually influence our public debate. Youll notice when it comes to vladimir putin, when it comes to sanctions, these are things that used to have bipartisan support. Now were actually discussing, should we lift the sanctions, should we not . Thats because of this russian influence. Weve got to get it out. Russia is just one country. 200 around the world. Anybody can play this game. Its very cheap and easy. We have to make it hard and there has to be repercussions to doing it. You liken it to watergate. Someone broke into the dnc digitally. The president was lying about it, whether his staff was talking to russia and the more we learn, the closer it gets to the president himself and the scarier it get. This story certainly has life and will continue. Thank you for joining us. How the country has responded to the president s actions so far. Well check in with four americans were following in our series we call we the people. Well learn their reactions to the Trump Presidency and why they all share a common feeling of hope. Temperatures are expected to hit more record highs across the central and eastern u. S. In chicago, people enjoyed the springlike weather yesterday. Yeah, they d on saturday, the high was 70 degrees. Dozens of cities broke temperature records over the weekend. Dean reynolds is in chicago, where the high is expected to be 63 today. Dean, good morning. Reporter good morning. Its been so warm here over the last couple of days that some of chicagos winter destinations, like this ice skating rink here, have had to close. Chicagos lakefront shoreline looked more like miami beach over the weekend. We thought we were going to need lots of heavy coats and its just gorgeous. Were enjoying it. Reporter three Straight Days of record highs have people trading their winter hats and coats for shorts and tshirts. Nothing i would ever think i would wear in mid february in chicago. Reporter golf courses in neighboring indiana opened a month early. Puts a little extra pep in your step when the sun is out in the winter. Climatology professor David Robinson says a steady stream of High Pressure has kept this winters brutal storms on the west coast from traveling east. Think of this as a mountain of air thats often sinking air and that creates clear skies, helps to warm things up with increasing sunlight. It melts away the snow and it serves as a block to keeping some of the stormier weather out of the region in weeks. Reporter couple of weeks ago, subzero temperatures had mid westerners covering up head to toe by whatever means necessary. This one is one of my personal favorites. Kind of a cross between nanuk of the north and yosemite sam. And while ski races and ice fishing competitions may now be in jeopardy, not all winter activities have been a total meltdown. Hundreds showed up to this ice festival in ohio. I havent read the longterm forecast but if this continues im going to be outside. Yeah. No question. Reporter now the balmy weather is expected to continue through wednesday. And for those of you keeping score at home, chicago has now gone at least two months without one inch of measurable snow. Gayle . In the winter. Wow wow dean, we are keeping score. Who would think it would be warmer on the east coast and midwest than it is in california . Advantage, new york. We like that. Ceo is spending millions of dollars to get special interests out how the head of the kind snack bar have you had one of these . Theyre good,, one month into President Trumps administration, the nation remains deeply divided. I think hes doing a great job so far, other than the fact that he cant get his cabinet approved. If you did vote for trump, im having a hard time seeing how you would still remain supportive of him. I wake up every morning, scared to turn the news on just because of what i might see. Ahead on our series we the people, the hopes and fears of americans after four weeks of an unconventional presidency. Youre watching cbs this mornin morning.

Tasty textures cats gotta have. Friskies. For cats. By cats. The kind Healthy Snack company is taking on special interests in the Food Industry. This follow as clash with the fda in 2015. Kind was told it could not call its fruit and nut bars healthy because of the amount of fat but the agency later reversed course. And now theyre committing 25 million over ten years to commit an organization. Its called feed the truth. It wants to, quote, stop biased funding from influencing nutrition policy. Daniel is ceo of kind bar snacks. They both join us at the table. Good morning to you both. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Daniel, putting in 25 million of your own money says you are very serious about this. This is not just a photo op for you. What do you want to accomplish . I mean for over two decades, not just related to what you described, ive been concerned that sometimes the zealousness to allow scientists and doctors and knew trishists to inform on public policy. It came back to bite us. They paid harvard scientists to try to deflect it from sugar and point the finger at fat. And its not just sugar. Its every special interest who gets a little bit overzealous and does not think about whats in the best interest of people. Didnt it throw you . First they said you cant call your snack healthy and then they reversed that. Didnt that spur something . Yes. And when i learned of what the regulation meant, i was like how can the current regulation you can have sa man or almonds and avocado and that cannot be determined healthy and you have cereal with sugar and it can be called healthy. That didnt make sense to me. When we filed the petition it was really going beyond the issue we didnt use it on the back hand. It was more of like public policy. They were telling me that the last time that the definition of healthy was redefined by the Food Drug Administration was 1993, so its up for redefinition. Is it possible to rebalance this debate given how much money gets spent in lobbying by the various Food Industries . Yeah. I mean i think im not sure most people are aware that every ingredient and every food group has a lobbyist in d. C. This is democracy. So they deserve to have a right to have a voice. Just in 2016, 600 food groups lobbied the u. S. Fo food agriculture. So this 25 million is a Huge Investment and it took a lot of hutzpah for dan ya to move this forward. The key is purposely doing it as a ceo of a Snack Bar Company is having wants to be independent from anything going forward, which is why im here. So, deb, i hear about this a lot at home because my husband sam was your predecessor at the white house. Wheres the balance . It sounds leak theres a need for a more aggressive stance, but at the same time the Food Industry isnt going to change. How do you strike that balance . Yeah. I think its more we need to strengthen the science and we need to strengthen the information that the public has around what is hello the because you shouldnt have to be a registered dietician to go into the Grocery Store to decide what to pick up and put in your grocery cart. The average family spend 40s minutes in the Grocery Store and spends two minutes reading labels. You just throw your things in. Its the responsibility of this entity, this new entity, feed the truth, is to really help strengthen the science and help make sure theres more transparency. To be very clear, im going to have involvement going forward. Youve separated yourself. Im going to only fund it and then separate it. I will have no role. You want to get it out there. Theyre not going to even be the board. Theyre going to appoint a board. For us, particularly with my wifes reaction, i thought i had she said, youre doing what . Are you crazy .

Others find it hard to be optimistic, so today well check in with four americans in our series who we call we the people to get their feelings one month after the inauguration. One month today, anthony. Plus thes car nominated movie la la land was a hard sell in hollywood for director Damien Chazelle. Ahead how he was inspired by the bold dance scenes of american in paris and singing in the rain. I love those movies. The New York Times reports on Older Americans embracing medical marijuana.

And he also nominated kne ed kne such. In the skonlds installment of our series we the people we go beyond the polls to explore americans hopes and fears under the trump at administration. So we traveled all around the country to talk with four derchlts people each with different backgrounds and beliefs. Here they are in their own words. My name is holy. My name is leo smith. My name is cesar. My name is steven shook. Im from carmel, california, i started up my own business and i voted for donald trump. I grew up in a christian home. Since trump has taken office, i think hes really trying to make it easier for people like myself to start up their own businesses. We the citizens of america are now joined in a Great National effort. Being able to give the Government Back to the people, give the economy back to the peopl people, i think hes doing a great job so far even though he cant get his cabinet approved. If you did vote for donald trump, im having a hard time wondering how you still are for him. He has been kind of reneging on his campaign. The job im in, being a special educator, you have to remain optimistic every day. I wake up every morning scared to turn the news on just because of what i might see. And ive taken decisionive action to keep radical islam ek terrorists the hell out of our country. I do feel optimistic. This is a free country and we to need to respektd the laws when it comes to immigration. We are a nation of law but also a nation of just law. I came here when i was just 5 years old after my father passed away when i was just a little babe. And my mother like any loving mother took the brave decision to get me a better life. We crossed the border in the middle of darkness at night. Because of the work of my mother, was the first to become an undocumented attorney and apply and become an attorney in new york. Donald trumps rhetoric has been divisive. Children were afraid the see their parents walk out because they may never see them again. Were sees the response of those with different backgrounds, police officers, teachers coming together to say, here, were here to support and open our homes. Sadly were creating this modernday railroad where people have the hide from the government. Hes addressing immigration. He may have done it in a blunlts way but what hes dub, needed to be done sh. The russian enfluns and everything around it, hes claiming theyre fake new and hes very upset these leaks happened. He wasnt upset when he was using wikileaks to smear Hillary Clinton. I think trumps presence on twitter is kind of good. I think its great to hear kind of the inner thoughts of the president. Hes expressing his feelings. These guys are says, yes, heres what were going to do. I dont expect him to have, you know, the style of ronald reagan. Im not looking for a rhetorical genius. Im looking for a guy who will fix the problems of american. This has to do with racism and horrible things shah are been put up. Since the election and working for the gop, focus on empowering people who feel disenfranchised by his election. Im very interested in seeing what betsy devos is going to do to make sure education becomes an option for people who want to escape pofberty again. I want to talk about what your thoughts are on it. I was asking to clarify. Thats a question a College Student could answer going into education. I could lose vouchers, services for my special education students might disappear. I think thats best left to locales and states. She just said shell consider everything. Some may say her bed sign manner want all that gray great but she did the best. The leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake. I think the media is split to make trump look bad that he has to call them fake news. With those beautiful, beautiful words made in the usa. With the racism, i feel like were live back in the 50s. I feel that if america doesnt come together in a way of unifying, not listening to all the grenades that are thrown in the room, that people who want to insight, the people who want to emotionally manipulate after one month of the Trump Presidency, eemg lo presidency, im hopeful. Were fearless and were going to achieve the American Dream for everybody, not just a few. Im hopeful well see really strong agenda items on education and job creation and Infrastructure Development in america. The United States is a very resilient country and at the end of the day, were going to make it. We will continue following up with hallie, leo, cesar, and steven to see how their perspectives may change during the Trump Administration. I meant to say cesar. It was interesting. Its about piercing the bubble and finding out what americans actually think and thats a great way to find out. You see again a Huge Division along those lines. Yep. Thats true. Oscar nominated director Damien Chazelle was terrified before the premiere of his movie la la land. It held lifelt like a child,g it off to its first day of school. You hope it doesnt get bullied, that it will come back in one piece,,,,,,,,,,,,,, something it could be less than nothing hollywood is singing the praises of emma stone and ryans goly in the hit film la la land. The film has received 14 nominations, a tie for the most ever. One of those nominations is for Damien Chazelle as best director. Its the 32yearold cereal commercial feature. He describes it as a movie he had to make. d describe myself as a musician. I was one of those people who got uncomfortable when a movie breaks into sound. That all changed. After he saw the daring dance sequences many films like an american in paris and singing in the rain. I think theres something outlandish about them in a wonderful free libya raying way that you dont see as much of in hollywood anymore. Were a little more literal now. Reporter la la land is a modern romance between a jazz musician played by ryan gosling and an actress played by emma zone. Chazelle calls it a love letter to the kind of dreams society often mocks. You didnt want the tans numbers to be technically perfect. No. I wanted them to boo human. There had to be a certain amount of humility but a certain kind of grandeur to it because love makes everything grand. When did you know you wanted to make movies . I never want dodd anything else. I never wanted to do anything else. Reporter when chazelle was ten, his father wass he first cameraman. But then i would be very unhappy with the footage because the camera was never pointed the way it was supposed to be and he would improvise because it was fprbpdeen. So i had to learn how to use the camera myself and i did it myself and from then on that was my camera. Reporter at harvard where he studied film, chazelles thesis was called park bench. It would be the dress rehearsal for la la land which he started writing 2010. When you first took lala land to people out in hollywood, what did they say . Interest was nowhere to be found, to be quite frank, for quite a while. Reporter so chazelle wrote a screenplay. The film whiplash which he also directed would win three oscars. Not quite my tempo. Its all good. Reporter and suddenly hollywood was interested in lala land. Yeah. It took a lot to open the door. That was a risk for you on your second film to want it to be a musical. Yes. Youre not wrong. A lot of people would have chosen something safer. I never thought there was a choice. La la land was this film i was desperate to make for years, years before whiplash. Reporter the films opening dance number is also its most ambitious. They shut down an onramp on l. A. To shoot the scene with 100 dancers. How many takes did it take you to make that work . Somewhat like 30 takes to make it work. Theres not usually a lot of middle ground. Yeah. Theres nothing quite as bad as a bad musical. I got a call back. What . Come on. Come on. For a tv show. Reporter so chazelle approached the premiere last year in terror. Because it was so personal and also because most of my memory with this movie was, no, that wont work, no one wants to see that. City stars are shining just for me reporter but they have. La la land has earned more than 300 million at the box office and tied a record for oscar nods. 14 Academy Award nominations. Yeah. I was a little surprised. Its a little surreal. Would you make another musical . Absolutely. Just not any time soon. Not in the next couple of years. Oh, anthony. Thats so beautiful. I love this movie and really loved him. I think hes terrific. Hes really rolled the dice with this and came up with a winner. I loved seeing the old footage. These where he met up with justin hurwitz. He said if he hadnt agreed to to the music at harvard, this would have never happened. I think oscar night is going to be very kind for mr. Chazelle. I think so. 14 nominations. Do not miss this story. A pet lizard proves that he can also be a mans best friend. This is getting a lot of , vo what if this didnt have to happen .
