discover which is more than just a credit card issuer. they have a card network over which the transactions are run. they also have accumulated a pretty significant deposit base, bringing in deposits from consumers and making loans other than just credit cards. >> reporter: joining forces will give capital one access to discover's payment network, collecting fees to better compete against industry heavyweights visa and mastercard which could benefit consumers in the long run. it comes as credit card debt in the u.s. hits a record high, more than $1.1 trillion. the average balance now tops $6,000. and with interest rates rising, delinquencies are also up among all age groups. 49% of credit card holders now carry debt from month to month. >> the increase in credit card debt at a time when credit card rates are going to 20% at record highs themselves, that really illustrates the financial strain

that millions of house holds are feeling just trying to make ends meet. savings balances were run down, we've seen credit card balances run up. more people are carrying bala immediate changes here. you still have to pay your bill, same as before. the deals still need to be approved by regulators, which could take a year. after that, there might be some good news for consumers. analysts believe combined company will offer better rewards programs. ard most overlap in their customers so if you do have one of these cards in your wallet today, a year from now don't be surprised if you get a letter in the mail describing new terms, robin. by the way, they have to tell you 45 days ahead before they make a change. so you do have time to react to that. >> but you said, pay your bill. okay. thanks. >> pay it on time. >> we're gonna turn to the

powerful storm in california, bringing potentially life threatening flooding and mudslides. matt gutman is in los angeles with the latest. good morning to you, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. the brunt of the storm so far hitting the santa barbara area, with up to 10 inches of rain in the mountains up there. and a body was found in the debris in santa barbara overnight. warnings are now shifting to the los angeles area and the vast number of residents are being warned about mudslides and flash floods. this morning much of california under flood alerts as another atmospheric river pummels the state. in santa barbara, authorities reporting a fatality after a woman's body was reportedly found in mission creek monday. officials urging residents to exercise caution. >> we ask you all in santa barbara, please stay away from the creeks. they are absolutely dangerous. >> reporter: the city's airport closing after flooding caused operations to halt. and across the golden state, roads disappearing under rising floodwaters.

>> we need to get to our home. >> reporter: near los angeles, heavy rains eroding the ground beneath this house. its walls cracking and windows shattering right in front of the home. >> you have water pipes that break. and then they add more to the misery. and then it becomes this vicious cycle. >> reporter: residents afraid of how their homes might be affected. >> the houses around ucla, going to the downhill part, you can see mud slides. luckily, our house, you know, is fine. >> reporter: and in santa rosa, this resident recalling the moment a tree crashed into his apartment. >> all of a sudden it felt like an earthquake in my house. from above i saw the tree had gone entirely through the wall in my house. >> reporter: that branch impaling his roof and wall. luckily he was able to walk away uninjured. >> you can see the entire thing. stretches the whole way. >> reporter: now, the story with these atmospheric rivers is that they saturate the soil. you can see with these mud

slides what they can do, crushing these cars. the previous round of storms brought almost a year's worth of moisture turning the soil into a kind of soup. it can gouge out the underpinnings of a building like that. emergency management officials are urging people because of this storm to stay home this time. michael? >> definitely dangerous out there, matt. thank you very much. we're going to turn to a historic ruling from the alabama supreme court that could impact the future of in vitro fertilization in that state. elizabeth schulze has details. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this is an unprecedented ruling that medical experts and abortion rights advocates could have far reaching consequences on families seeking access to fertility treatments like ivf. this morning a first of its kind decision by the alabama supreme court that could put families access to fertility treatments in the post roe era at risk.

the court determining frozen embryos qualify as people under its state law, ruling unborn children are children without exception based on developmental stage. the chief justice in a concurring opinion quoting the bible citing the sanctity of unborn life. >> we have kind of what is just a brand new landscape for the laws. >> reporter: the case in question involves a patient who managed to access the freezer storing frozen embryos at an alabama fertility clinic. the patients picked up multiple embryos and mistakenly dropped and destroyed them. the state high court says that patient can now be held liable in a wrongful death lawsuit. >> at this point there is no decision on when a physician or a clinic can conclude storing embryos. they are potentially liable for the wrongful death of an embryo after the parents have passed. >> we're concerned that this

ruling has consequences for what we feel is safe to freeze and safe to discard. >> reporter: in 2021, more than 238,000 families in the u.s. relied on in vitro fertilization, or ivf, to have a baby. multiple embryos are often frozen to increase the likelihood that one will successfully implant. doctors in alabama warn the ruling could block women from accessing ivf, make the process more expensive or force some clinics to close altogether because of legal risks. >> this ruling is so incomplete and it leaves those of us who are sitting face to face with patients just with the inability to comment on what is safe and what is legal for them right now. >> reporter: this is part of a broader push by some states to put new restrictions on women's reproductive rights. alabama is one of 13 states that now has a total ban on abortion in the wake of the supreme court's decision to overturn roe v. wade. the court is expected to issue

its decision on whether to put restrictions on the widely used abortion pill nationwide in the coming months, just ahead of the presidential election. george? >> okay, elizabeth, thanks. now overseas to the fallout from the death of alexie navalny. his family is accusing putin's regime of a cover-up as authorities refuse to release his body. martha raddatz is in ukraine where russian forces with advancing. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. ukrainian forces telling me this morning they are outgunned and outmanned by the russians but they will keep fighting, this even as vladamir putin has lost his fiercest critic. this morning the russian government standing firm, refusing, refusing to turn over alexei navalny's body to his family. navalny's mother posting a video appealing to putin to return his body to the family. she has been unable to see it. navalny's widow claiming russian authorities are trying to disguise the real cause of death.

>> reporter: trump is facing charges for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and has warned his political opponents could be prosecuted if he's re-elected. there are no free and fair elections in russia. navalny pushed for democracy and is among the growing list of political opponents that have been jailed, poisoned or killed. trump's rival nikki haley writing, donald trump could have condemned putin for being a murderous thug. trump could have praised navalny's courage. adding instead he's denouncing america and comparing our country to russia. the former south carolina governor hitting the campaign trail in her home state with just four days until the primary. >> it's a great day in south carolina! >> reporter: and she's still going after trump for encouraging an attack on american nato allies if they don't spend enough on defense. >> no, i would not protect you. in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. >> the idea that trump would associate himself with putin like that over our allies who stood with us after 9/11.

what he just did is put all of our allies in danger and every military person who's serving there in danger. >> reporter: haley's still trailing trump by more than 30 points here in south carolina. she's expected to give an address later today on the state of the race. she's made it clear, she is not dropping out, michael. >> rachel, thank you very much for that. we're gonna turn to an arrest in the shooting death at the university of colorado colorado springs. police say a student is in custody charged with two counts of murder. mola lenghi has the story. >> reporter: this morning 25-year-old nicholas jordan preparing to head to court, accused of murdering two people at the university of colorado colorado springs campus. jordan allegedly opening fire in a campus dorm room early friday, killing 24-year-old samuel knock. >> alpine village for gun shot victims. >> reporter: police tracking down jordan monday after a three-day manhunt.

of these companies, don't expect any immediate changes. you still have to pay your bills same as before. and the deal still needs to be approved by regulators. after that the combined company could offer better rewards. discover cards are mostly cash back today. capital one offers a variety. there isn't a lot of overlap in customers so if you have one of these cards today, a year from now don't be surprised if you get a letter in the mail describing new terms. george, don't be surprised if mastercard and visa come up with new competition as well. >> oh, okay. that could affect me. [ laughter ] now the alabama supreme court a case that could impact the future of in vitro fertilization. want to go back to elizabeth schulze. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: hey, george. this decision by the alabama supreme court could have far reaching consequences to families blocking their access to fertility treatments, ruling unborn children are children without exception based on developmental stage.

this is a case that centered on a patient who was able to access the freezer of a fertility clinic in alabama. the patient allegedly picked up several embryos and accidentally dropped and destroyed them. the court's decision means that patient can now be held liable for wrongful death because the embryos qualify as people. this ruling could ultimately discourage clinics in the state from offering ivf which is used by more than 230,000 families in the u.s. every year to help them get pregnant. patients will typically freeze multiple embryos to increase their likelihood of pregnancy. one doctor told us they now won't know what to do with those unused embryos because they could face legal risk. this ruling paves the way for a first of its kind trial in the state. it could ultimately be appealed all the way back up to the u.s. supreme court. robin? >> lot of folks watching this. all right. elizabeth, thank you. big health headline this morning that women can get the same benefits as men from exercise, but with less effort.

[ laughter ] eva, eva. quite news. >> i love this headline. any time us women can catch a break, i'm all for it. sorry, guys. the study found women who can see benefits with less time working out. the study looked at more than 400,000 people over 20 years. the researchers had people brisk walking or cycling, five hours a week was the ideal. but women saw benefits at even 2.5 hours per week. yes. and that time really paying off for women. those who were active saw a 24% lower risk of dying from any cause when compared to inactive women. for active men the risk was 15% lower. get this. when you look at muscle strengthening activity, like weight lifting, women also saw a bigger reduction in their mortality risk. 19% compare that to 11% for men. here's the thing though, guys. the study found men were more likely to do some sort of physical activity.

so lady, get out there. of course, doctors say any activity helps. so even a quick walk moves you towards a healthier lifestyle. this is something that's accomplishable for all of us. >> seems like we work out still and we still live shorter lives. >> there are moments that we should have our moments.

it will give you a falsely elevated reading. you want to sit down with your legs uncrossed. you should be calm. seated for a certain period of time. you really want to have your blood pressure checked in both arms, george. i cannot tell you the number of times i speak to patients and say i have never had my blood pressure checked in both arms. >> i have never heard that before, yeah. >> it is the proper and most important way to check your blood pressure. >> when do you know if you have to see a doctor? >> the cutoff is 130/80. if you're consistently getting numbers one or both of those numbers above 130/80 you want to get that followed up. >> i was surprised. this study came in today that vitamin niacin connected to cardiovascular disease. >> lot of caveats here. association, observation, not cause and effect and possible link between high levels of niacin which is in fortified foods people are eating a lot of, and an increase in flammatory markers for cario

we ordered the original coat from totem that retails for $1,130. then got a dupe for $100 and an amazon dupe for $59. then went to a town center where michelle and denise volunteer to model. come right here. here is the question. which one of those coats cost $100 and which cost $1,100? >> i would say the one on the right cost $100 and the one on the left is $1,100. >> that's what i say, too. >> you are correct. >> this is the expensive one. just from the little hangy thing. maybe some of the stitching. i don't know. >> correct. >> i like this material more. i feel like this is more expensive. >> this is the dupe. this is the $100 coat. for a different perspective -- >> $1,100, $100. >> nailed it.

i was very comfortable on a cold day. >> the amazon dupe? >> it wasn't as warm as i'd hoped. i did get a little cold. but the fabric is very soft. >> we love to tell you in these segments that the dupes are exactly like the original. but it wasn't exactly like that in our unscientific trip to the mall. in fact, the original weighs about twice as much and our models did say they were warmer in this beautiful coat. it comes down to value. would you rather spend $1,100 here or spend $100 here and put, $1,000 somewhere else?

changer. >> i agree. athletics or entertainment the only way you can make it, but that is far from the truth. rashad you put out a call. you wanted questions. you asked for questions. you're gonna get some questions. our first question, how can newbies manage risks with investing with a lot of hype in fomo? >> okay. so i'll give you three steps. the first step is to always educate yourself. never invest a dollar before you are fully educated. so read books, listen to area leisure, watch market mondays. there's a lot of great news articles. fully educate yourself. that will give you confidence. second thing is to invest in index funds. that's an easy way to get into the stock market. depending on which fund you invest in, you could have exposures to anywhere from 500 to 2,000 companies. that's a much safer bet as opposed to investing in one company. the last thing i'll say dollar cost averaging. that's putting small amounts of money into an investment on a weekly or monthly basis as opposed to putting a lump sum in

at once. if you follow those three steps you will mitigate your risk. >> i like that. little bit. keep on going. next thing you know, you look up and you got a lot. >> just like your 401k. >> exactly. exactly. ian, here's another viewer question. check it out. >> hey, guys. i'm mba candidate at louisiana state university. my question for you all today is, what are some of the best stocks for beginning investors? >> good question. >> i think index funds should be your foundation. after that you want to move to technology companies. the third layer should be health care. now, as a bonus, ai is really big so you have to invest in semiconductors. if you follow those four, buy the best two in those sector, you will be good. hope for 20 years and you'll be okay. >> seems like a long time but 20 years goes fast. troy, back to you. for someone who's just getting started, how much should they save? how much money should they start with, should they set aside each month?

>> i think it's case by case. rule of thumb is probably 10% to 20% of your discretionary income. the money after you pay the mortgage on your rent, you should make an investment on your brokerage account one of those things you deposit into every month. >> the thing is it requires discipline. it requires discipline. what would you say would probably be the question you're asked the most often when you're doing your seminars? >> is it too late to get in? it's never a bad time to buy. if you look over a 30 year period, some companies are up 15,000, 20,000 percent. the biggest mistake we make is waiting too long to get in. it's never too late. start early. put in some every month. it will work in your favor. >> great advice for you. i applaud what you're doing. helping the young black community understand about investing. like you say, educate yourself. educate yourself. appreciate you guys. thank you very much. somara, over to you. >> all right. good morning. did you know last year was the

guy, 32 competitors start out. get down to the final two. obviously, there is a winner at the ends of the competition. we saw it earlier. it's a player tournament, but you use a thing called the randomizer. explain the randomizer. >> it's the worst thing that can happen to anybody. what happens with the randomizer we never wanted to have two competitions that were ever the same. so we give them the protein, produce, piece of equipment they must employ. like in this case they had to use the panini press. we give them a style. something they have to incorporate in it. for instance, in this one it's silky. then we give them a whammy ingredient. the two had to work with graham crackers. they had beef, basil, panini press, silky and graham crackers. >> stephanie, i can't stop watching you with the marshmallows and the flame thrower. >> i'm having some fun with it. >> yeah. the randomizer threw all those things out. silky, panini press, graham crackers involved. >> right, right. >> you don't like that, dale. dale's looking like, what am i going to do with that?

>> who doesn't love graham crackers? >> not fun. >> that's what inspires the entire dish. >> graham crackers are very polarizing. lot of people think of s'mores. stephanie leaning way into it with what she's doing here. the whole dish is very crazy as stephanie is. chef dale took a more conventional approach. they're gonna be dynamite. i promise you. >> that's the great thing about it. what i love about the show is that it's all these random things that you would never think would go together. to watch the creativity of the chef make these things make sense is amazing to me. dale, we're going with you, my friend. you're playing for common ground collective which promotes food security on maui. >> yes. [ applause ] >> tell us about what you made, how you incorporate everything. >> i mate a beef cofta. that is basically a beef patty. it has graham crackers, a little calabrian chili. cumin.

basil was one of our ingredients. i wrapped it almost like a grape leaf. and grilled it on this amazing griddle that guy tends to throw at most of us. >> so giving. such a giving person. then i made a cauliflower puree of yogurt, cauliflower. it's my silky element to the dish. then i made an egyptian style spice blend. it's not hazel nut, almonds, coriander and graham crackers. [ applause ] >> you have 30 minutes to come up with these ideas. with the randomizer. >> what do you think, guy? >> i know what a competitor he is and great chef he is. this to me is leaning right into the randomizer. he hit all the points. again, something that is in his wheel house. but this is creative. you've got to figure this out. when we spin that randomizer, they see that. they start. they got 30 minutes. they make it -- they create it and make it as they go.

>> we spun it earlier. you took a head start. you starred running over. guy had to tell you, get back, i didn't say go yet. >> i just get too excited. i can't help myself. >> stephanie, your charity, the abundant setting which supports women and working mothers in the hospitality industry. which is awesome. this is what we want. you made a dessert using beef? >> when i see beef i think dessert. five years ago as an iron chef i won one of my battles by making a ribeye ice cream. >> that's the first i have ever heard of it. >> i saw ground beef so i made a caramel sauce. for my silky element, i made a burned chocolate mousse. made with avocado which makes it silky. >> the little combo of the marshmallow/avocado. >> i put a sugar on the outside with fried basil on top with beef sugar on top, too. >> i don't know what's going through your brain, but you

gotta be somewhat insane. >> you don't want to get in there, i'll tell you that. >> a bit worried is going through my mind. >> what do you think about stephanie making mousse? >> this is exactly how she goes. she has super famous restaurants around the country. that's what she does. the creativity. as odd as it sound, i know it's going to be delicious. both of them. i'm telling you right now. [ applause ] >> here we go. do you know what? it's time. we got to pick a winner, you know? we got this thing called the cheer-o-meter. >> the cheer-o-meter. >> the cheer-o-meter. here we go. what do you think of dale's dish? is dale the winner with his beef dukka? okay.

we welcome you back to gma. i'm here now with jamie kern lima. she's an entrepreneur, best selling author and founder of "it" cosmetics. now she's on a mission to help others transform their lives. it is a beautiful new book called "worthy." please welcome back jamie to gma. i said please. come on now. [ applause ] you are a dear dear friend. disclaimer, you are a dear dear friend. tell folks what inspired you to write this book. >> oh my goodness. "worthy" is for every single person who has ever doubted they're enough and wants to change it. sick and tired of what self-doubt cost them in their life, in their relationship, in their hopes and dreams. "worthy" is a book about how to overcome self doubts because in

life, so many areas of life we don't become what we want. we become what we believe we're worthy of. so packed with tools on how to build unshakeable self worth. robin, 80% of girls and women don't believe their worth. like right now. >> you've done the research. give us more. >> yes. i have been obsessed for the past several years studying self worth. this book "worthy" is all about that. 80% of women don't believe they're enough. 75% of female executives deal with imposter syndrome. 91% of girls and women don't love their bodies. when you don't believe you are enough, it is a lie and time to unlearn that lie has come. no girl, no woman, no person left behind. i'm so excited. it launches today. >> i know you've been working on this for sometime. it's not so much what you learn but unlearn. i want to talk about that. but first, you break it down. self-confidence, self worth.

both very important. there's a distinction between the two. >> they're so different. my whole life i thought what i needed was more self-confidence when what i needed was more self worth. if you have ever met anyone who you're like, she's so smart, so talented, why is she in an unhealthy relationship? why does she feel she doesn't have what it takes? it's because when we build our skill set, we build self-confidence but none of that builds self worth which is different. self-confidence is all about, you can see on this chart on the lower right when you go high up in self-confidence, building your skill, your attribute, achieving your goals, feeling like you stack up and measure well compared to others, you're building your abilities. you can never go up to true fulfillment until you recognize your self worth. that is your identity. that's the deep internal believe knowing you are worthy of being

just what you are and your self worth is your ceiling. when you raise your self worth that is how you are able to accomplish these goals and feel like you are enough. self worth is the one thing that changes everything in your life. >> it is. this is like a workbook. we just saw an example of that. you're talking about how to unlearn. 'cause we tell ourselves lies. we do. >> yes. yes. >> so you help the reader identify those lies that they've absorbed and how to navigate through. >> exactly. yeah. it is the most exciting part, robin. right now as we speak every single person watching right now, you are fully worthy exactly as you are. this is a book about not what you need to figure out. this is a book about how do you unlearn the lies that lead to self-doubt and then ignite the truths that wake up worthiness. lot of us have been believing these lies, like my weight determines my worth.

we've been waiting on our weight to live our best lives. so we talk about how do you unlearn that lie? or the lie for people pleasers out there. i need to please them in order to love me. or the lie i don't deserve better. this is all about how do you unlearn those lies and embrace your authenticity and raise the ceiling? >> the biggest lie we tell ourselves, if i show the real me and the real me shows up, no one's gonna love me. okay. we only have a little bit of time left. i love a workbook about rejection. this weekend tell folks what's happening this weekend. >> oh my goodness. i'm so excited to launch worthy into the world. live this weekend saturday, february 24th, booking unstoppable. we're hosting a live stream, virtual, one day confidence building self worth event, about becoming unstoppable. and the amazing incredible robin roberts is going to be speaking there live. it will be all day. just so worthy, the book and

this event, are for every single person who has self-doubt to destroy and a destiny to fulfill. we all know someone who we're like, gosh, if they only knew how amazing they were this book is how we change that, how you step in to your power, embrace your authenticity, overcome the fear of failure an rejection and self-doubt. right? and just raise the ceiling on your self worth. in life we stay stuck at the level of our self worth. this book is one thing that changes everything. >> stops right now. i'll see you this weekend. she's got a very special guest. not gonna say who it is but a very special guest. >> you have to be there, join me and robin. >> thank you for caring as you do. >> thank you for helping me do this. i'm donating 100% of the proceeds. this is just about every girl, every woman, every person learning to believe she's enough. thank you very much, robin. >> thank you. let's get to somara in for ginger. >> yesterday was president's

day. i found our founding fathers. they were taking advantage in durango, california. they're anticipating snow. lake tahoe saw two feet of snow. ft. brag, california getting winds leading to an avalanche in parts of the sierra nevada. we can see winter weather advisory in parts of the rockies. high wind alerts and that flooding situation taking place in southern california. let us see what's going on in your neighborhood. >> coming up on gma, we are so happy to have this guy, ramon rodriguez, star of will trent, here on abc telling us all about this hot new

millions of hard working families. they're working harder than ever and they still can't make enough to get by to afford food and medicine to even keep a roof over their heads. we need to build more housing that's truly affordable. we need to address this terrible epidemic of homelessness. we need to invest in good paying jobs, union jobs and investments in our future. this, this is why i'm running for the us senate. i'm adam schiff and i approve this message.

>> we are back now with the star of the hit abc >> we are back with ramon rodriguez gearing up for tonight's season 2 premiere. so nice to meet you in person. >> thank you. thank you for having me back. >> congratulations on this show. it's special. what do you think makes will trent different? >> i think, like you say, he's a quirky character. he's an under dog. he's not supposed to be where he's at, solving cases, considering everything he's been through. it doesn't hurt that he has an amazing partner in a dog, chihuahua named betty. these complicated characters, the story, the back story, seems to be compelling for folks. >> back story is a huge part. it's starting to unravel. we're starting to get a glimpse. >> we're starting to peel back the onion in terms of what he's been through, his childhood. he learned about his mom at the end of season 1. now we want to go down that rabbit hole and see what we uncover.

and how it affects him. >> a little birdie told me some relationships may be unfolding, a love interest not only for you but maybe betty. >> correct. betty may have a new love interest coming. we have sparks flying in the first season of season 2, literally and figuratively. and so, yeah, love might be in the air. there's always that relationship which is very complicated. people love that relationship. that push/pull thing they have. we'll see what ends up happening with love for will and betty. >> let's talk about the person who loves this show. let's give everybody a peek at will trent. take a look. >> did you know less than 1% of americans drive maroon cars? >> that's a fun fact. >> coincidence that you an your neighbor both drive one. this will sound crazy, but do you have any reason to believe somebody would be trying to kill you, you think? >> hey, stop! [ laughter ] >> i don't know why i'm laughing.

there's always this weird angle with this show. i do think this is what's made it just this hit. your mom is your number one fan now. >> number one fan. she's been for awhile. let's be real. i'm puerto rican. a latina mom, she loves me. but, yeah. with this show, the success, the billboards. she had a premiere. >> tell us about season 1. she had a party where they all got decked out. >> she was on the island. i was in atlanta filming. she had a full on premiere party, red carpet, everyone dressed to the nines at my grandma's house. and she blew up posters, not from abc official. she went to google, had these things blown up and printed. >> that's a proud mama. >> that is a proud mama. >> this year she took it to the next level and made you go on a billboard safari. tell everybody what that is. >> i'm here doing press with y'all talking about the show. my mom had me drive her around the city and find all the billboards. so we went on this safari of new

york trying to find the will trent bill boards. there's my lovely girlfriend. we went on a road trip around the city. >> i know you've been acting a long time. this has got to be a pinch me moment for you. >> for me it's the first time i have been part of a show from its inception going into season 2. that's a big deal. it doesn't happen easily. luckily, we have a great crew and cast. the show writers are incredible. i'm glad the folks are loving it. >> it is fantastic. if you haven't seen it, you need to. >> premieres tonight. >> congratulations. i'm a huge fan. will trent season 2 premieres 8 p.m. eastern on abc available for streaming on hulu tomorrow. we'll be right back. thank you so much
