President elect donald trump landing in his soontobe home waving and hitting the inaugural Party Circuit crossing town in a motorcade attending exclusive blacktie dinners including one for his Vice President mike pence and topping it all off with a stop at trumps washington blocks away from his future home, the white house. Inside, trump was showered with applause. Now, trump preparing for his biggest audience yet, tweeting this photo of himself at what he calls his winter white house maralago, writing his speech on his desk next to him, a bronze eagle. That speech about 20 minutes long. Trump has been studying past inaugural addresses and practicing daily. The themes, uniting the country and america first. Aides calling it very personal. The first line is thanking everybody, all of the president s and including, by the way, president obama and michelle who have been Victoria Beckham nice. Ivanka trump also ready for the big day tweeting out the official invitation saying, the amazing journey is just getting started. She and the whole trump family are expected to spend trumps first night as president at the white house. Barron and melania and all of house, which is sort of a tradition. Reporter but who will not be participating in the festivities . More than 60 house democrats, never before in history have so many skipped a swearing in. Im not asking for his birth certificate. But he has to build the legitimacy. Reporter Hillary Clintons going. If she can go why cant you. She was the first lady and shes going as the wife of bill clinton. Reporter shes the woman who ran against him and lost. Its going to be hard for her. Reporter and donald trump is expected to use the lincoln bible during his swearing in while taking the oath of office. Only two president s have done that, president obama and lincoln himself and, of course, george, that big concert tonight and trump will be speaking on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. And, cecilia, then he hopes to hit the ground running right after he takes the oath. Reporter yeah, this has been a promise of Donald Trumps. He has said he will issue executive orders. We expect those to largely the immediate ones at least to largely reverse some president obama policies. We do know now on friday he will issue four to five executive actions, the first one were told will be largely proceed surely things like security for the first family. That is a tradition. Cecilia, thanks very much. Over to capitol hill where trump cabinet neuman nominees facing another day of hearings and rick perry up for Energy Secretary in the hot seat and our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce tracking it all from the capitol. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning. Yeah, the whirlwind of hearings continues with a familiar face, former Texas Governor rick perry will be making his case to lead the agency he once wanted to eliminate and once famously forgot. Thats a move according to his prepared remarks hes expected to say he regrets. Also this morning, democrats are expected to take aim at treasury secretary nominee steve mnuchin. The Goldman Sachs executive under fire for his role in the housing crisis. Hes been accused of rushing to foreclose on homeowners. George. There were some delays with some nominees getting their papers in and democrats slowing the process down a bit, secretaries in place tomorrow after the oath. Reporter yeah, george, no votes have been scheduled yet but the Senate Majority leader suggests that democrats will only allow three to go through on day one. General mattis for defense, congressman pompeo for cia director and general kelly for dhs three picks critical to National Security and also three of Donald Trumps less controversial nominees, but it is far fewer than what president obama had in 2009 when seven of his picks were confirmed on the first day, 13 by the end of the first week, george. There will not be a secretary of state tomorrow, okay, mary bruce, thanks very much. Over to robin. We bring in Cokie Roberts for more on the inauguration and how president elect trump is preparing for this historic event. Always good to see you, cokie. Wonderful, robin. He will keep it short, he said, the speech. Thats probably a good thing, you say. A good thing to do. A long speech, nobody wants to listen to. It gets very cold and, you know, the truth is i was thinking back of all the inaugurations that about and i can only remember four speeches and two were lincoln, i was not there. But kennedy, ask not what your country and franklin roosevelt, you have nothing to fear but fear itself, so other than that, theyre not exactly memorable. Well, what are you exactly expecting from donald trump . His tone and his word, what are you expecting. I expect him to try to be unifying. To put people to, you know, who are concerned to try to put their fears to rest. Yeah, Election Night we heard him give a speech that was along those lines. I think it will be the same thing but probably better. And he he tweeted out a picture of himself saying over the holidays that he was actually working on the speech. They always do that, dont they. We always see somebody and the speech writers say, actually i did it. So theres always a little tension. They work agriculture. He do work together. Make sure its in his voice. In his voice and i do think know, throughout the campaign we kept talking about if hes elected hed be the first person whos never served in Public Office or the military. I think he might want to use that to his advantage rather than disadvantage and talk about coming to washington fresh, owing no one anything, just you, the people. He is going to be there, his predecessors will be there. None of whom voted for him. Quite a moment when you this moment in our history. Its a huge moment and the fact that they didnt vote for him and are going to be there is very significant because theyre saying, we are validating this. This is this is what we do in america. Right. We have a peaceful transfer of government. In the rest of the world still you have situations where people are not willing to give over power. Its happening right now. But this is this is a remarkable moment and it has been since 1800, a woman reporter in 1800, 1801 this in our country where other places its cause of bloodshed, here we have no dislocation. Now, that wasnt entirely true but it was close enough. But it is a moment. It is a moment for our country. Right. Well have you back, talk a little more about some things later. Right now to michael. All right, thank you, robin. Now, lets get to the latest on former president george h. W. Bush and his wife barbaras health. Both are in a houston area hospital this morning and our chief White House Correspondent jon karl has more and, jon, what do we know about their condition . Reporter good morning, michael. Well, both bushes remain in the hospital this morning. It is believed to be the first time in their 72 years of marriage that both have been hospitalized at the same time. The former president was admitted back on saturday for shortness of breath. But and he was expected to be released actually today but yesterday he took a turn for the worse and had to be admitted into intensive care. His spokesperson tells abc news, quote, president bush was admitted to the icu an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia. He actually had to be sedated yesterday so they could perform a procedure to clear his airway. As for mrs. Bush, she was admitted yesterday for fatigue and for coughing. I tell you, even before all of this, they had written a remarkable letter to donald trump. This letter right here, george bush wrote to donald trump, was delivered to him, trump told me earlier this week. It says, my doctor says if i sit outside in january, it will likely put me six feet under. Same for barbara. I guess were stuck in texas but he said we will be with you and the country in spirit. So although he said that he could not make the inauguration, he even offered to help donald trump in any way possible. Trump responded with a tweet, saying, looking forward to a speedy recovery for george and barbara bush, both hospitalized. Thank you for your wonderful letter. So, interesting words from the former president. And so theyre not going to son and former president george w. Bush was scheduled to attend the inauguration tomorrow. Is this going to change his plans . Well, were told that as of right now, michael, that george w. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush still intend to be here tomorrow for the inauguration.

Another day of confirmation hearings under way on the eve of Donald Trumps inauguration and big celebration at the Lincoln Memorial today. The president elect will kick things off and there will be appearances from toby keith and three doors down. We begin with new developments about the woman abducted at birth the accused kidnapper who raised her for 18 years appeared in court and this morning new Court Documents are raising questions. Abcs eva pilgrim is still there in jacksonville for us again this morning. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, robin. Thats right. These Court Documents are laying out a time line of who knew what and when. Detectives reporting witnesses say this secret was out more than a year and a half ago, well before authorities traveled from here in florida to south carolina. This morning, new details investigators say this womans 18yearold secret finally unraveled. No bond be set on count number one, the kidnapping charge. Reporter 51yearold Gloria Williams charged with kidnapping a newborn in 1998 raising her as her own. Did anything ever kind of tip you off to it . I cant think of anything off hand, no. At what point did you find out. I dont want to discuss that. Can you talk about what brought it all around . I dont want to discuss that either. Reporter 18yearold Alexis Manigo couldnt give us those details concerned that anything she says could eventually be used against the woman she still calls mom. They want me to hate her and its not in me to. Reporter but newly released Court Documents now showing that alexis may have found out the truth approximately a year and a half ago. Two separate tips last year first sending investigators from jacksonville, flor walterboro, south carolina. Earlier this month detectives interviewing two witness, one saying williams confessed to him that she stole a baby from a hospital in jacksonville. The other, that alexis told her she had been kidnapped from a hospital in jacksonville, her mother even telling her that she was kamiyah mobley, the name given to her by her birth mother. Police say they discovered the birth certificate and Social Security card alexis used in high school were both fraudulent. According to the affidavit, her social taken from a virginia man who died in 1983. How do you go to school when you dont have a legitimate Social Security number . You know, how do you go to the doctor and these are things that a kid is not going to know. But the system should know. Reporter and Gloria Williams is being held in jail here in jacksonville, florida. Expected back in court in february and has not entered a plea on any charges. Robin. Eva, thank you. Abrams. A lot to talk about. Yeah. So, allegedly alexis knew more than a year ago, told a friend about it and some people are wondering, theres no way she could face charges here. Right. So typically it is not required to report a crime, right . Youre not a criminal for not reporting a crime. But if someone was an accessory after the fact, what does that mean . If they helped to conceal it in some way, shape or form, someone else could be charged. Do i think thats going to happen . No. Do i think theres any chance that she will be charged for helping to conceal this . Absolutely not. Look, from you just look at it from her perspective as an 18yearold even if she knew a year and a half ago, shes the victim here. You know, she is a victim. She was stolen away from a hospital. She was brought up by the only mother that she knew and so you have to sympathize with her plight. Doesnt mean you have to sympathize with the woman who no, and theres very little sympathy other than from alexis herself but other people are like, hey, you snatch a child from their parents, theres just no excuse for that so its not surprising that bail was not set. Thats right. So, you know, bail was not set on the kidnapping charge. There was another charge where bail was set which is irrelevant since bail was not set but i think whats going to be really interesting in this case is the potential sentencing, right . Its pretty clear that shes going to be guilty. Is she going to plead not, et cetera, well see. But to hear her testify at the sentencing on behalf of the woman that brought her up. Alexis, youre talking about. Yeah, yeah, so the question there is going to be how much does a judge give that . How much does that matter to a judge . I think its going to matter a little. I do think its going to matter to hear how well she brought up this child and yet i still expect shes going to get a serious and very stiff sentence because there is almost no worse crime than this. Youre right about that. All right. Dan, thanks very much. Coming up in just two minutes we have that abc new trumps three oldest children. What they think about their dads tweeting and what ivanka is saying about her friendship with chelsea clinton. Come on back. vo maybe it was here, when you hit 300,000 miles.

They spent time with Elizabeth Vargas and Deborah Roberts for tonights special on 20 20. Boy, theyre alt about to enter history. Deborah and i had that opportunity. What a day for them to watch their father put his hand on the bible and take the oath as president of the United States of america. It all started here in new york with this grand descent 18 months ago. Today i have the honor of introducing a man who needs no introducti introduction. Reporter now theyre about to ascend to the heights of power in washington, d. C. , the president elect, bringing with him the couple, ivanka trump and her husband Jared Kushner leaving behind his familys billion dollar real estate business and her clothing and accessories brand that bears her name. My colleague Deborah Roberts spent time with ivanka earlier this week. And the irony is youre growing and now youre stepping back. Yes, it is its emotional that im steping away from my business. My father will be president and hopefully i can be there to support him and to support those causes ive cared about my whole professional career. Reporter but ivanka was quick to dispel speculation that she would be filling the shoes or occupying the east wing office traditionally reserved for the president s wife. Whats your reaction when you hear people say shes going to be essentially the real first lady . Does it offend you . Well, i think its an inappropriate observation. Theres one first lady and shell do remarkable things. Reporter we know who is not Donald Trumps two grown sons, donald jr. And eric, who instead will be entrusted with running their fathers vast business empire, a move slammed by critics concerned it does not adequately guard against conflicts of interest. And how is this going to work exactly. You said youre in each others office seven types a day. How will you all of a sudden pull the plug on that. My father has the biggest responsibility of any person arguably on the planet and thats to run the United States of america. His focus is going to be running this country. Reporter and that reality along with the weight of its responsibility is something don jr. Believes may not yet have fully sunk in for his father. Do you think it might happen when your father puts his hand on his childhood bieb sfll yeah. And takes that oath. I imagine it will. I dont think anyone could become that cynical that wouldnt affect him. Going around the country and seeing all these people who have been, you know, either disaff t have been through so much to be able to go through it and see them and talk to them, it was just a culmination of just incredible and moving experiences. And, deborah joins us now, as well. Boy, ivanka remained so composed when you asked her that question about the first lady. You could tell she doesnt like that comparison. It rankles her. She doesnt shoot from the lip as much but she did say privately she finds it a bit sexist. Why couldnt two women as she said, two empowered women come to washington and make their mark so she doesnt like that but she does accept the fact shes probably going to have a big impact and she wants to but she wants to figure that out slowly over time. Unique role. You also got a little more insight into that friendship with chelsea clinton. She says they are friends and remain friends in spite of the Bitter Campaign and she says shell probably go to her for advice but that friendship remains intact in spite of what has gone on before. When you were talking to don jr. And about that emotion his father will feel when he a really real softhearted guy usually. No, the president elect infamously said he hasnt cried since he was a small child. Don jr. Says that might be the moment when we see the president elect, now the president tear up because that will be such a moment fraught with emotion and, by the way, the two sons are unabashed hunters. They love hunting. Theyve been big defendants of the nra. Their secret service nicknames, marksmen and mountaineer. There you go. How about do they weigh in on their dads tweeting. You bet they did. Both were unabashedly defending him. Even when i read the words aloud liar, loser, sleazebag, don jr. , you have five kids. Do you let your kids say words like this to each other, my father is telling the truth, he said. He has to call out the lying media when he sees it and if he can talk directly to the people and cut out the media even using that language they support it. Ivanka admits she weighs in from time to time on that tweeting like any other kid would and she says, somet listens. Sometimes he doesnt. Shes got a lot going on. Three little kids at home. She does so her primary goal is get them settled and slowly figure out the impact that shes going to have but well hear a lot from her. By the way, the youngest, i dont know about all three of ivankas kids but the youngest of don jr. s kids fighting the flu will not be at parts of the inauguration. Just too tiny, 2 years old. Okay. Well see a lot more tonight from you all. Thanks very much. The full report inside look at americas new first family, the trumps go to washington tonight on 20 20. To mike and robin.

Lets start with you, because kevin oleary, the star of abcs shark tank announcing his candidacy to lead candidates conservative party and try to defeat Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2019, and mr. Wonderful, lets see here. Businessman, reality star, now, what does that sound like about to become president of the United States . Any similarities there . You know, what is it about marking for mark burnett that makes you want to lead a g7 country . But theres some similarities but really quite a difference. Canada is a completely Different Society because we actually have two culture, french and english. Two official languages, and anglais. Thats about to change. When trump becomes president hes talking about putting policies in place that have many canadians concerned because hes going to lower taxes. Hes going to deregulate oil and gas and may put border taxes in mace and trudeau has gone the other direction and added carbon tacks and made tacks much higher personally and many canadians are beginning to realize, uhoh we didnt realize trump was coming and who will negotiate with donald trump . Thats what is so interesting about the canadian situation. A lot of angst now and theyre looking for new leadership. Doesnt he already sound like a candidate . I was going to say, okay, speaking of new leadership you have to face off against 13 other candidates. Yes, i do. What made you throw your hat into the ring . This is a big decision for you. Youre a busy man with a lot of Different Things going on. You know, im not a politician. I dont owe anybody any favors. Ive never been involved in politics and if youre watching whats happening all around the usual anymore thats true. People want different kind of leadership. They want someone who is actually has a track record in managing something. Not just the same old politicians. So, im facing off against good men and women, but theyre all politicians and all of a sudden weve got millions of canadians who got to know me obviously through television and thats whats interesting is youre starting to see a lot of politicians emerge using the platform of television because really after eight years, people know me quite well on shark tank all around the world, frankly and in canada as well but they want something different. Im that change agent. Wow. Wow. Im mesmerized. I havent ever heard you speak like that. Its going to be an interesting journey but i think canada is a really great partner of the United States and weve got to get back in sync with it but donald has made it clear its not business as usual and here it comes so well see Interesting Times as w america. There is no question about it. We cant wait to see and keep our eye on you, see how youre doing and good luck with that. You have a battle ahead of you for that but also Paul Mccartney, hes got a battle too. And its the beatles league battle. Paul mccartney filing a new lawsuit against sony music for ownership rights to some of the beatles most treasured songs and, sunny, youre here to discuss this and when we say treasured song, we mean i want to hold your hand. Love me do. Yes. All you need is love. The ones we love so much and cowrote a lot of those with john lennon between 1962 and 1971 but guess what he did. He transferred his rights to those songs to other parties and a lot of Young Artists do that because they dont are a lot of bargaining power. Well, he wants those songs back, the rights of those back so hes suing sony music for his rights and under this 1976 copyright law he may very well get some of those songs back because the law says after 56 years which is a long time, you can songs back because i think its trying to help art hists who gi them away. 56 year, october 9th, 2018 i cant believe its been that long. You know sony has released a statement and says in part, we are disappointed that they have filed this lawsuit which we believe is both unnecessary and premature so does Paul Mccartney have a case. I think he very well could. This is millions of dollars, maybe even billions of dollars so well see. Well see. Favorite beatles song . Favorite . You know i want to hold your hand is it. Robin, i want to hold your hand as we tease going out to commercial. All we need is love a look at melania trumps life as she gets ready to take on washington. Come on back.

Back here on gma, as you know the inauguration is tomorrow and so well take a closer look at the incoming first lady, melania trump, her journey from a small town in slovenia all the way to the white house and, amy, i know you have much more on all this. I do. Melanias rise is most close to the first lady herself, the journey she took to stand next to her husband as hes sworn in began half a world away in a tiny Industrial Town in central europe. First lady of the United States, all eyes are on melania trump. But before there was 1600 pennsylvania avenue or the new york city penthouse inspired by versailles, this was melanias home, a modest Apartment Building in the town of sevnica and reveals Humble Beginnings and the start of her unconventional road to the white house. Born into communism in 1970, a Young Melania seen here grew up spending much of her childhood on this playground and in the halls of her elementary school. It was here where she caught the high of slovenia fashion photographer stane jerko. Its these photos that sent her to paris, milan and new york where she met trump at a Fashion Party in 1998 an encounter she described to barbara walters. He asked for my number and i said i will not give you my number so if you numbers, i will i will call you. Reporter the couple wed in 2005 at trumps maralago estate and welcomed son barron a year later. While her husband crisscrossed the country in a bid for the white house, melania stayed behind to take care of him, a decision she discussed with george last october. Keep him balanced and i just want to have him out of the spotlight for now. Reporter melania taking center stages at the Republican National convention where she was greeted with a standing ovation. But then widely criticized for he speech and its similars to the one Michelle Obama gave in 2008. The 46yearold already making history as the first foreign born first lady since John Quincy Adams wife louisa. Shes only been an american citizen for ten years. I think that thats a very interesting way of us to look at this job. Shell have different perspectives on that. And in recent decades the role of the first lady has changed dramatically and leaves her own mark on the white house. For now we know she will stay behind in new york while her son barron finishes the school year. Amy, thank you. Cokie roberts is back with us now what long with author and president ial historian mark updegrove. I like that. Thank you. You didnt get the memo about my green suit. Next time, robin. At least green tie. Well call you. Thank you. We heard what amy was talking about that melania will spend time here in new york and also in d. C. Commuting like that. Has that happened before. No, that hasnt happened before but its a comfortable plane and it probably wont take much longer than me to get downtown from my house in the suburbs so itll be fine. How have we seen the role of a first lady change over the years. Eleanor roosevelt changed the role of first lady irrevocably and since then Lady Bird Johnson once said that there is no definition of the role of first lady in the constitution. But with t if she chooses to use it and she did. Lady bird johnson and subsequent first ladies have, as well. Its expected. They all have to some degree. Eleanor roosevelt was more public and modern communications but Martha Washington lobbied the congress for veterans benefits. Way back then. I think its safe to say that her husband has been a n nontraditional candidate. I think thats safe to say. People want to know will she be nontraditional or follow along as weve seen before, make her own rules . Shell make her own rules because there are no rules. It doesnt come with a job description, first lady and it also comes with a great deal of suspicion. People worry, you know, she has all that power and she cant be fired and shes a woman and all of that worries people. But i think that she will find a way to find her voice in the role. Its tough for her because shes never been in politics. Shes never been first lady of a state which was hard for Michelle Obama, frankly, but i think that shell find her way. Its taken them all a little bit of time. Right, exactly. Okay, that is how we perceive her publicly. Privately what is the role of first lady . The president is the commander in chief. In so many ways she is the caretaker in chief. She takes care of the family and we saw Michelle Obama take care of sasha and malia as mother but vitally important for her to take care of her son and shes staying here in new york to provide some continuity for him before moving to washington. And to take care of her husband too. Nancy reagan famously sort of monitored her husbands schedule to ensure he wasnt being overtaxed or overburdened. Thats what first ladies do as well. Private role of the first lady also being the only person who can tell the president the truth and whether thats true in this marriage, who knows. Thats a wifes role. A wifes role. Okay, well, mark, cokie, ill see you there in washington. Well be together. Inside look at americas new first family, a special edition of 20 20 and tomorrow it starts at 7 00 a. M.

The first one is joining us live from london where he is about to take on an ambitious new project. Something that has never been done before. Woody harrelson. [ applause ] its called lost in london. It is live streaming. Are you getting this, folk, directly to the theaters . One take. No breaks. If anybody can do it our man Woody Harrelson can do it. No pressure here. My man, youve been in the business for many years now. Youve done this, youve done that. Weve never seen Something Like this. Why did you come up with this type of idea . Well, you know, a big fan of theater, i just i love theater and so i you know, i wanted to merge theater and film and so i had this thing that i wrote based on something that actually happened to me and i thought, you know, be cool to do this in realtime. The time that i thought you couldnt really do something in realtime, but since then the Technology Developed and so i thought, yeah, im going to shoot this in under 100 minutes in realtime but then i thought, well, where is the theater in that because theres no live audience. Well, that was the thought that has since caused me many sleepless nights. Including last night. Yeah, and so n were trying. So maybe youre sleep deprived but look so calm despite the fact you have 30 actors, 14 locations, 65 minutes streamed to 500 Movie Theaters. What is it that keeps you up . Just a lot of technical things going on and any of those things goes wrong, it could spell disaster for us. I feel great about the actors, i feel great about the story. I think theres some really funny stuff in this that people will get a good chuckle at and i suspect theres a lot of your viewers right now who are not wanting to tune in to see this thing succeed. Like a car crash. Either way i think its going to be remarkable. You mentioned something about woody about the technical. I read youve done two rehearsals so tar and in one of them you lost the feed. The live feed. So what is the backup plan if that happens . Jump off the bridge into the thames. Not much of a plan there. No. We you know, what well do is we filmed one last night that went all the way through and if, god forbid, we do lose the feed well have to just fall back on that one and feel dreadful about it but im hoping that wont happen. You mentioned earlier by the way, i want to thank you guys. I want to thank you guys for being the first guys to talk about this and for, you know, being interested in the idea. It really means a lot to me. Thank you. [ applause ] yeah. We will definitely be watching, woody. Weve been talking about it for quite some time. So different. So creative . And taking chances. Were rooting for you to succeed. We hear its based on there was something left out of this. Hey, woody good luck, woody. Well be watching, man. Tonight, tonight, tonight. Tonight. Tonight. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Next, a lot of nerves trying to pull this off. Im excited for him as im sure hes excited for himself and hes not the only guest we have today. All right.

But weve all had coaches in our lives and anybody have any coach that stands out that really helped you and was influential. I do. Go ahead. My my coach at penn state craig brown, brownie as we called him penn state diving team. He was always found the positive in your worst performance and found some snug get that you could gw never ever coached in a negative way and that meant everything. [ applause ] i had a lot of a lot of great coaches growing up in mississippi and louisiana. My College Coach at southeastern. But its not somebody that one coach that i wanted to play for and i never applied and i should have was pat summitt. I really wanted to play for pat summitt. Ive been thinking about her a lot. [ applause ] just this week on sunday the clinic, the alzheimers clinic bearing her name opened. It wasnt just with her, but she was about building young women, it wasnt just building your game but your personality. What about you . I had two. My High School Coach ron hoover, he kicked me off the team my junior year. I got suspended because i was in the library studying and this lady said i was being insubordinate. First of all, i had to look up the word. What that wasnt but it was a rule on the team if you get suspended you get kicked off the team and i was the guy, i was the quarterback. That broke my heart. But it really set me straight from this on i understood teamwork, i understood being a leader and everything and the second one was my pop warner coach. Coach dave. We had to have a certain gpa to remain on the team. His wife was unbelievable, helen, and when i got selected when i got selected to the hall of fame, i flew him to the super bowls, everywhere, and he was so excited that he had a heart attack that week and he passed. And that broke my heart because what he meant to me, the first ti time i ever flew on a plane and they exposed me to so much that he and his wife was a dear i wouldnt be here without them. Wow. Thats what this is all about. [ applause ] if you know a deserving coach, you can go to our website and you can tell us about that coach and that person whos influenced you this your life and they may get a chance to go to the super bowl and get a hug from Deion Sanders.

[ cheers and applause ] oh, i dont know what shes doing to us starring in the remake of the classic film beaches. Lets take a look. Stop acting like you have no say in anything. Well, stop acting like such a [ bleep ] bully. Im not bullying you, im challenging you. Youre so egotistical. Youre jealous because im doing what i set out to do. Jealous . Jealous of what . Ooh, cece. Nia was here singing your praise sflz we had a great time. We cried a lot. You know were going to have some tissues ready. I know, im sorry. I just and its a beautiful original movie, isnt it . Its just the best. I dont know why im doing it. Theres my idol. Im just opening myself all the sent out a tweet is there she sent out a tweet. I was very relieved. In support. Yes, i was very relieved. This is the tweet. She said, dont tell me the ending. Exactly. Apparently there is a whole young generation of women that have never seen the movie so all of a sudden i do cory i cant spoil the ending. We wont do that but for people who have seen it and, you know you have its a classic, is it pressure . Is it yeah, i was terrified to do it because i you know, i mean its a beloved movie and the role, i mean, bette just you know, shes amazing and so it took a lot for me to even say yes, but i think first of all how often is there a piece where its about two female amen. Roles just centric and its not about them trying to have its not about their romance and everything. Its about them, about their friendship and so rare and especially for two have that kind of role so that was amazing and also the conversation, you know, to look at it back then when it came out in 89 and the choices we make about family and career and the passions we have and how we sort of navigate all of that and nias character, they kind of wrote up her career a little bit more in the script so i think it brings about a lot of conversation for people. Its what its about, having the conversation and you know what we did with deion, it is Throwback Thursday and you got your start as a wedding singer. Uhoh. We have pictures. How did that form you . You had to sing wind beneath economy wings at weddings. Yes, i did. The wind beneath my wings has been a part of me my whole life. Its the most requested song. Every little bar mitzvah boy wanted it so i went in the studio to record it it was the one time i wasnt as scared because it felt like ive been singing this my whole life. They put a more modern updated production underneath and i just did it. Youll knock it out of the park. Congratulations on your engagement, as well. Oh, thank you.
