7:02 am

7:03 am
the entire country. we are going to fight for every vote in every state. >> reporter: and clinton concedes bernie sanders managed to tap into a real sense of anger among voters but her camp is telling us this morning they are shifting their focus now to those upcoming states south carolina and nevada, robin, where they hope she can tap into her support among latino and african voters. >> cecilia, what are we hearing about these reports of a possible shake-up within the clinton campaign? >> reporter: well, for now, robin, there is adamant denial inside the clinton team saying that's not going to happen but we know they are moving staffers around to upcoming states. certainly this morning there is some serious soul searching happening inside team clinton. they know they've got to get this base in south carolina and nevada active and supporting her if they want this nomination to happen. they've got to do something differently. >> as she also said tap into those young voters, as well. all right, cecilia, thank you very much. george.
7:04 am
second place in new hampshire last night. he's already in south carolina, charleston, south carolina, this morning. congratulations. 106 town meetings in new hampshire. is that what made the difference? >> george, i think that helped and it was a great grassroots organization and then onto of it was the message which is, you know, we're americans before we're republicans and democrats. and we need to grow our economy which i've been able to do both in washington and in ohio and when we do that, we make sure we leave no one behind and the mentally ill, the drug addicted, working poor, everybody has a right to rise in america and reore the spirit of this country. that's really what it's all about, george, and, you know, it's really funny, as you and i talked yesterday, the light really did overcome the darkness. i had so many millions of ads run against me and yet we come out of there with a strong second and it's remarkable and feels great. >> our pollsters are going through the results calling you
7:05 am
you were the candidate of experience. he's the outsider. you had that hopeful message. he's taking a hard line. can you bring those together and when you look at the polls he beat you by 20 points. question be stopped? >> yeah, but, george, i beat him in dixville notch, it was 3-2. >> i think it was 2-1 but go ahead. >> but, george, here's the thing, look, it's a long race, right. we're here in south carolina. we'll be here. we'll go through south carolina ultimately to the midwest and you know what it's like in illinois and in michigan, ohio, pennsylvania. and in the south, george, i've got to tell you, you know, mississippi, you know trent lott, the guy doesn't lose many. we are very strong there. got the governor of alabama. we're building a team in tennessee. this is a long, long race and, you know, everybody always understatements me, but it seems to always kind of work out. so we're just going to put one foot in front of the other. >> jeb bush not getting out of
7:06 am
an onslaught from him aides say you have little or no chance in south carolina, quote, kasich has consistently supported gutting the military and has no viable path in the palmetto state. your response? >> well, look, you got the bush campaign, i think they spent about $120 million and they've got like four delegates, i mean, they've got blown out of iowa and did poorly in new hampshire so they are spending all their money going negative and when you pound me i'm going to have to defend myself but i think it's sad. i think it's a sad situation when you've got to rely on negative to move voters which they haven't been able to do as opposed to articulating a positive vision. why don't they do that and somebody ask them, well, what are you for and if what you're for isn't selling you got to ask yourself why you're running. at least if that was the case
7:07 am
i won't get diverted by it. i'm a rye formerie >> can you imagine bringing two wings of the party together with donald trump? >> well, i don't know what that means. i mean, i'm running for president and, you know, we had a good night and we're just going to keep working. i absolutely do believe that i cannot only unify the party, but i also believe i can bring back that reagan blue collar democrat who they were for reagan and, george, here's the thing about it, most of these conative democrats when they see a socialist winning they're like, what's happened to my party? i mean i'm a democrat but i'm certainly not a socialist. i think those are people we can attract. >> you're a democrat? >> no, i said we can attract the democrats, george, because -- well, look, my father was a democrat and i'm a strong
7:08 am
somehow it seems to resonate with them. up in new hampshire i had so many of the people in the democratic party say, hope you do well. hope you win. i said, well, if i do i hope i get your vote in the fall. you got to switch over and vote republican. >> thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> let's talk to matt dowd, jon karl and cecilia vega up in new hampshire. cannot underestimate the aftershocks of last night. >> no, as we talked about it it is an earthquake on a massive scale knocking down the foundations of both political parties and at the size of a basketball team now on the republican side where there's five candidates and the interesting thing about this rice that lines up for donald trump in the course of this, instead of being weaker, one-on-four he's stronger one-on-four and weaker marijuana and lines up and it's going to be very difficult to stop donald trump going into south carolina. >> and, jon, picking up on that there is no incentive for any other republican candidates to
7:09 am
>> this is the perfect result for donald trump, not just his 19-point win but the fact that there is such a muddle below him and second place finisher john kasich is absolutely nowhere in south carolina. he's at the bottom of the polls and then jeb bush, he sees a reason to go on andthree-way tie for third place. >> he admitted that debate performance did hurt him. you talked about self da and south carolina upcoming for the clinton campaign, they had been hoping for big wins there but now facing a real fight especially in nevada. >> reporter: they certainly are, george. this is that fire wall that hillary clinton's team has been talking about banking on her support in circus especially among african-american voters but looking ahead, bernie sanders is already running spanish language ads there and has a bunch of door knockers to go. certainly i tell you, that mood
7:10 am
that party, no victory party for them. nervous about what comes next. >> how much will she have to retool? >> a lot. she lost badly among young voters, among women and has a huge trust problem. she has to retool that campaign to a great degree. >> thank you all very much. bernie sanders will be live on "the view" for his first interview since the primary. 11 owe 11:00 a.m. an abc. the supreme court put brakes on president obama's plan to fight climate change and limit greenhouse gases at power plants but the justices temporarily blocked it into going into effect. a new warning from top intelligence officials. they expect isis will attempt a direct attack on the u.s. this year. intel chief james clapper called this year's report on security threats a, quote, litany of doom citing concern about north

7:58 am
hit show and rest. abc's deborah roberts, always great to see you. >> lena is revealing her battle against endometriosis. an often painful condition that affects millions of women and can lead to fertility issues for some. a topic many would prefer to keep to themselves but the outspoken lena dunham may change that. lena dunham is one of the busiest women in hollywood directing, writing, starring in her hit hbo hit "girls." >> i worked very, very hard to overcome the challenges of my non nontraditional body type. >> reporter: but two weeks before the season five premiere she made a surprise announcement saying she won't be able to promote it due to a chronic health problem called endometriosis writing on facebook i am currently going through a rough patch with the illness. it's time to rest. >> she didn't have to announce it but people love her because she speaks her mind and shares her truth.
7:59 am
media came quickly for the actress with one woman sharing her own endometriosis experience writing "i'm level 4. thank you for being so honest and open about this." another "thank you for your bravery. you could have easily kept this private". >> she doesn't just say this is what's going on with me but goes a step further. >> reporter: she first shared on her blog called the sickest girl. posting these photos after a surgery possley diagnosed her with the disease. >> she's learned a lot from that experience and now she's like saying, you know what, guy, i'm going to take some time off. when somebody says that and they're fully honest about i you can't do anything but respect their decision. >> in fact, honesty is her mantra. dunham goes on to shine light on her dark moments saying she's no longer afraid of her body but listens to it. in her classic style she opened
8:00 am
she couldn't leave the room to direct show. clearly determined, robin, to give a voice to others suffering in silence. >> hey, deb, thank you very much and so glad she's listening to her body. dr. jennifer ashton is here with more. we have heard about it, been around forever but don't know that much about it. >> you could arguably say this is the most painful and least discussed gyn issue affecting so many women, so we do need to explain it. i want you to take a look. you can look right there. what endometriosis is the lining of the uterus, the endomeet triial flandzs instead of coming out of the body go all over the abdominal and pelvic cavity and plant little seeds or lesions or im implants all over the body and they are hormonally responsive so as the uterus contracts every month so do those lesions and can cause excruciating pain.
8:01 am
it but know it can be debilitate debilitating debilitating. >> i have heard from so many friends how painful this is. how are you able to diagnose it. >> the thing is truly endometriosis has to be diagnosed surge iicallysurgically. either with a camera and taking a biopsy. you can't diagnose it with ultrasound. we can get clues with the symptoms a woman is having but important to make the diagnosis. >> deb was telling us about lena and how sometimes she was just not able to work. many consequences. >> it's a spectrum of severity. women can have endometriosis and have no symptoms or very mild symptoms and then it can progress along this spectrum and miss school or work and usually that's if it's inadequately treated. in this day and age that's really a failure of modern medicine if they need to miss things like thavenl the scarring can go on to cause fertility issues and can be associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer which gets back
8:02 am
make the diagnosis. a spectrum. this can range from no treatment to hormonal, suppression so they're not hormonally responsive and do it birth control pills or injection. surgery and in some rare cases full hysterectomy, removing the ovaries so there's no more hormonal stimulation. the key is working with a gynecologist to manage these so that it doesn't really affect your lifestyle. >> again, good for lena for getting out there and discussing it. >> 100%. so important. >> thank you, jen. dr. ashton is taking your questions. you can tweetary @drjashton. february is american heart month and it's something i care about for a personal reason. my dad gene faced a health scare with his heart and we teamed up to make a video showing you how you can have a heart-to-heart with your parent about their health.
8:03 am
>> what's the most important talk you remember having with me? >> i was like you got to do something. you got to lose some weight. you got to take care of yourself better. >> but i cut down. >> i just saw you eating a cookie. >> you can't get quit it all. >> when you had a heart scare, though, did it make you more aware about your health overall about taking care of yourself? >> it keeps me thinking young. i don't want to go around here with great big stomach and, you know, all that kind of stuff. >> so it keeps you from the dad bod. >> yeah. what inspired you to talk to me about my heart condition? >> i know that you would do the same for me. you give me advice. >> definitely. >> and sometimes i think the hardest thing to do is to talk to your dad or your hero because you admire them. who doesn't want their father or the person who was most influential in their life to be
8:04 am
>> and joining me now is abc news chief medical and health director dr. richard besser. hard conversation sometimes to have with your parents because you're reversing the role and you become the caretaker. you had an issue with your father, as well. >> yeah, it was a few years ago. i got a call from my dad. he had a mild heart attack and my dad is a doctor and there were so many things that he was doing wrong and i had to have the same conversation you had with your dad. here's some changes and it's not easy to kind of reverse those roles. >> now, when it comes to heart health, what do older folk, what do they need to know. >> you know, a lot of it isn't so much from aging. it's the progression of heart disease. if you keep that in control you'll be in better shape. some things you'll see from aging, blood vessels will get thicker and stiff and your heart may get larger, you won't be able to exercise as much as you used to and that's hard for people to come to grips with.
8:05 am
>> yeah, as you get older you want to make sure you're checking your blood pressure and cholesterol more. more than tests make sure they're staying on track with a heart healthy diet and stopping smoking and having them understand the changes you make as you get older can still make a difference. you can be in your 70s and 80s and make changes that affect your life. >> it was tough for me. do you have any tips for someone out there that needs to have this conversation. how do you even approach this. >> yeah, first, it's not one conversation, it's a series of conversations so you want to talk early, often and progress with that. you want to approach it the way you did, with sensitivity and respect so that you're not coming in saying, mom, dad, here's things you have to do immediately. you want to include your brothers and sisters if you have them in the conversation so it's not like michael is the one that's doing this and then you want to hold off. if you start the conversation and it's not going well, punt
8:06 am
there are other opportunities. >> your dad is a doctor. he must have known better but couldn't face it. >> doctors are often the worst when it comes to this. when he had his heart attack, he didn't take his aspirin, he drove himself to the hospital. he did all these things and he had signals that he hadn't been paying attention to and, you know, all of us do it and we can often see it in others, in our parents, but looking to your parent who has always told you what to do for your health and i kind of need to suggest something to them you have to be sensitive. >> it can be uncomfortable for you and dad put down those cookies, okay. dr. besser is going to be taking your questions throughout the morning. thank you, doc. tweet him @drrichardbesser or go to "gma's" facebook page of now outside to rob to tell us about the weather. >> snowing a little out here. a great crowd. look at this. we got christmas and kind of valentine's day together. santa sent me to new york city from pennsylvania because we
