joining us this morning is amelia irving representing young voices a non heist profit. good morning, thank you so much for coming in. >> good morning. thank you soap for having me. >> my firs q thinking about talking to you, you're a student at georgetown university. do you think people your age really understand, um, how monumental this is, what's going on right now? because you haven't been in that workplace environment yet to even understand some of those precious that some of these accusers have faced. >> yes, i think especially on college campuses, we've been talking about sexual assault for probably longer than most the u.s. in general. especially because we're not in the workplace yet, but given sort of the social situation of college it's already a big issue for us as college students. so it's really exciting to see this happen in the main stream with so many men and women. >> why do you think the me too movement took off when it did? was it solely the harvey weinstein case? >> i think that was a huge part of it, because women saw harvey weinstein and how the accusations caused such a huge change in his life and i think that empowered other women to come forward with the hopes they would also be successful and finally having justice. >> is it a matter of finally being believed? like if you say something, someone is actually going to hear me? >> i think so. i think that was huge because i think in the past it was sort of -- it was definitely a bigger risk. you weren't sure if you would be believed or if you would just be sort of pushed into the side lines, and destroyed by the accuser publicly. but now after harvey weinstein fell so dramatically i think it's empowered a lot of women to come forward and share their stories. >> now we have harvey weinstein coming out real really going after his accusers saying look none of them said no. none of this was not consensual and we've seen that from several other people, too. like, you know, i didn't force her to do that. maybe verbally or whatever. what do you think about that tactic coming now from the accuser or the people that are accused? >> i think he thought he didn't have any other option and i think this is a key cas fell in reclaiming his position in hollywood and his place of, um, importance i think that that will make other one more cautious in the future whether or not they decide to come forward. so i think that what he's doing is really his last resort but it's also a really terrible thing to say to women that, oh, because you didn't say no, because you didn't maybe fight back, i think that's too much of an expectation. going into hotel room with someone who has so much more power and influence than you, you automatically need to know your place in society. you have to say, maybe i should proceed more cautiously if i'm a track to do some of these women. maybe i should make sure that i specifically ask permission rather than just assume. >> then just playing definitely's advocate maybe some would say as a woman, don't go in the room. >> sure. but going into a hotel room doesn't give anyone permission to do anything to you. because it's not some sort of social expectation that just because you're having with someone and maybe they're feeling ill you don't necessarily know why you've been called up to the hotel room, i don't think that going into the room is giving your consent. excuse me. >> you're fine. >> we see the same thing on college campuses people will say, oh, well you were at that party. you had a drink. that mean you wanted to hook up with someone. no there's difference between necessarily going to a place or acting a certain way and consent to go sexual activity. >> we have this conversation a lot because you have the harvey weinsteins of the world clearly he knew what he was doing was wrong. right. >> um-hmm. >> using his power. he overtly used it but then we have this like culture where there are some things that kind of happen because people just kind of think it's okay they didn't really understand that what they were doing was inappropriate. do you feel like young men now a days are now specifically are starting to learn what the rules are what these new rules are? >> i really hope so. but i'm not super confident just because on colleges we still have all these sexual assault cases, and you have so many women saying that, upping, like getting -- they're getting wolf whistled at or people are winning at them when -- making them feel uncomfortable and i think what we're doing is we're trying to say, you know, there are consequences for these behaviors. it doesn't matter whether or not you personally think it's okay. society says this is not acceptable, and if you do it, you're going to be punish in some way. i think that is the most important thing that we can do is say, there are consequences for those actions. i don't care whether or not you think that's acceptable as a young man to smack someone when they walk by because there are going to be consequences for those actions. >> do you think there could be a backlash to the me to movement. >> i think we're starting to see it with harvey weinstein coming back and with river as collins maybe the women are after money. so i think there's going t backlash but hopefully it won't be a significant one. >> admittedly there are lots of shades of gray. unfortunately do you have some of the women, right, that are in it for money then you have the real victims out there and it just makes it all so complicated luckily people your young age are addressing it and talking about it and experiencing this movement that we're in now. thank you soap for coming in. >> thank you soap for having me. >> appreciate it. back over to you. >> important discussion. thank you both of you. right now it's 9:21. youtube's year in review. little later we'll share what we were all watching oh and line in 2017. >> first allison what are you working on this morning. >> new threat from north korea unfortunately to tell you about. nuclear war now just a master time. plus, the best place to work in 2018 weeviled and you helped make it possible the perfect gift for the millennial in your life. we'll have details when we check what else is make headlines next. ♪ 9:24. allison is back with a check of the other stories making headlines this morning. good morning al. >> good morning. first up u.s. ambassador to the united nations is warning north korea is quote getting more dangerous. this as the country says nuclear war has become a matter of not if but when. north korea says threats in large military drills by the united states are making war inn he havable on the korean opinion the heels of north korea's test launch just last week of its most powerful missile yet. well today is national pearl harbor remembrance day honoring the 2000 sand plus americans who lost their lives during a surprise attack by the japanese on pearl harbor. the 1941 attack resulted in 4us battleships being destroyed at the naval base in hawaii. remembrances are taking place across the nation with main ceremony being held at the world war ii valor in hawaii. well glass door is out with its list of the best places to work in 2018. the top spot going to social mode ya giant facebook. the company's roughly 17,000 workers say working with smart people and abundance of food two of the biggest bonuses in their office. global consulting first became came in second. followed by boston consultant. west coast burger chain in and out and google round out the top five. well the little blue taltalking bow to get a lot less expensive. pfizer is going to start selling its own generic version of viagra much those pills would be white and they'll be sold at half the price of a regular have i gag which is $65 a pill. more generic brands of imputes pills are expected to hit the market next summer. finally, are you still wondering what do i get that millennial on my christmas list how about picking up one of their student loans payments?

coming up. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ 10:46. i want to take a look at the tweets we got on the bottom of the screen right now. if you look at them it's quite amazing what we just witnessed in the studio. people talking about how entertaining it was but i mean at the same time just all in all pretty impressive. almost had heart attack watching that guy pouncing on there. this is why they do it. they're super professionals. i have trouble balancing the daily work live balance let alone getting on board whatever it was he was climbing on the ladders and everything else. thank you for sending tweets to us. we certainly appreciate hearing what's on your minds this and every morning. our neck guest is that girl. really she's literal system that girl talking about former sitcom star marlo thomas as an actress she won four emmys, golden globe, numerous pretty much any award that you can ever think of marlo thomas has won. including the george foster peabody award. she's been induct flood the broadcasting hall of broadcasting and cable hall of fame. add that to those awards. she's more than an actress though as well. she's a producer, her whole family is in the tv producing business. brother is a producer as well. she's an author. she's a social activist and it runs in the family. now let's flashback to 1962. marlo's dad danny thomas, 55 years ago, founded saint jude's hospital. in 2004, marlo created the thanks and giving campaign to support the hospital which provides free cancer care to every child who needs it. free care to every child. it's amazing. it is safe to call the campaign a huge success. as a matter of fact, were one we talk about this campaign and its success it raised almost $700 million since it started and that assures family never spend one penny of their own money while beating treated at saint jude's. marlo joins us live from new york. it's great to see you again. it's probably better if i brag on your accomplishments i know [ laughter ] >> it would be rude if i had you brag about yourself. $700 million is an amazing number and i know you probably wish that number was two or three times that and you'll keep going until you get there. >> well actually, actually it's 800 million. >> see. >> there you go. >> almost grown 100. >> yeah, we raised 800 million in 14 years for the thanks and giving campaign. and it's very exciting. the first year we raised $8 million. and last year we raised $115 million. that's because i think that the american public have heard about it more and more. they see it everywhere. and they -- everywhere i go, people thank me for saint jude and surprising to me that there's nowhere that i go that there isn't somebody in the room that's been touched by saint jude. either their own family, their neighbor, their cousin, somebody has been touch by the work of saint screwed. we see 200 children a day. and our doctors do 4,000 consults a year with doctors and hospitals that children don't so we're impacting the children of america in so many ways. and also all of our discoveries are spread out through the entire world. the medical and scientific world. so saint jude is everywhere. my father -- my brother always says that our laboratories may not be in your city but our discoveries certainly are. and that is the truth of saint jude. the important thing about saint jude children's research hospital is that it is a research center. what's being worked out at saint jude is then taken into the clinic where the children get the first chance at this life-saving effort, whatever it is. every child who comes to saint jude has both a doctor and a scientist on their case, which is a huge difference. that's why doctors zen us their very toughest cases because they know we're working on what nobody else knows. we're working on what we don't know. because we are a research center. >> what i think -- thanks -- go ahead. >> one of things i think is great i palagis for interrupting there, yes, everybody knows somebody who touched by saint jude and you see the stories and you can't but help feel the compassion and want to give. but the giving is contagious as well and one of stories we saw just a week ago we talk with that young college student who had fallen into the online twitter donation and we had chance to talk to her from out of washington state. you know gosh darn it i'll find a way to come up with this money. she's been able to come up with millions of dollars. this is amazing or i mean tens of thousands of dollars. >> she's amazing. >> yes, she's amazing. danny i think her name is, right. >> yes, correct. >> adorable. and she's been in touch with saint jude and we've been trying to help her, too. because she did something so outrageously generous she just had no idea that many people would come and she'd have match $400,000. but bless her heart. she's -- that's exactly right. giving is contagious. and we want of year. we want you to give thanks for the healthy kids in your life and give to those fighting for their lives. you can go to best buy or k mart ann taylor, william sonoma, brooks brother, all those stories in your town they'll ask you for donation. please give even if it's a dollar. every dollar counts. when you have to, you know, really pay for these children to live. >> absolutely. >> we put the information on the screen right there. the website saint jude.org as well if people want to make donation directly. marl loreal before we let you go i want to ask you one acting question. i understand you have a movie coming

continuing to help out so many so many people. >> thank you >> thank you very much. >> hopefully talk to you again soon. good thank you. ♪ >> breathe. now reach out. what do you see? >> i can darkness
