up early this morning tweeting about that new national poll saying, there are several other polls where he's still in the lead. but the media wants to focus on this one. this as senator ted cruz goes after trump and senator marco >> ladies and gentlemen, if we elect marco rubio, every day will be a great day in america. >> reporter: this morning senator marco rubio with an early victory in south carolina picking up the endorsememe of governor nikki haley. >> she embodies for me everything i want the republican party and the conservative movement to be about. >> reporter: but this political marriage in south carolina not impressing donald trump. >> she's very, very weak o o illegal immigration. you can't have that. >> reporter: her endorsement a hit with jeb bush. >> she's a great person. i'm disappointed she didn't endorse me. >> what do you think it means for the governor? >> thanks, guys. >> reporter: trump offering bush advice.

home to mom. got to go home to mommy. >> reporter: trump may no longer be the king of the hill of a new national poll shows senator cruz has caught up. >> for the first time in many months, there's a new national front-runner on the republican side. >> reporter: trump and cruz in a war on the campaign trail that may end in a courtroom. trump threatening to sue cruz over this ad. >> i am pro-choice in every respect. >> reporter: cruz daring trump to take him to court. >> donald, i would encourage you if you want to file a lawsuit, challenging this ad, claiming it is defamation, file the lawsuit. >> reporter: l ler cruz striking a very different note at a town hall. >> you know, i just called to say i love you. i just called to say i care. >> reporter: now senator ted cruz says that's how he leaves voice mails for his wife. people on twitter weren't as swt saying senator ted cruz should stick to politics. george and amy.

tweeting on that one, tom. we move on to the democrats. just two days before their caucuses in nevada where hillary clinton and bernie sanders locked in a dead heat. abc's cecilia vega tracking that tight battle. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. this is not where hillary clinton wants to be right now. those caucuses right around the corner and now she is facing the very real possibility that she could lose her second stste in a row. this morning, polls showing hillary clinton's battle for nevada could be a photo finish. but she is putting her best face forward telling "vogue" magazine that getting the female vote is no slam dunk. saying "women are very judgmental about one another." clinton also revealing one weakness in the campaign, hersrsf. i'm great at advocating for other people, she says, but i'm not so good at really promoting myself. i just find it hard to do. now both clinton and bernie sanders are trying to promote themselves to minority voters ahead of nevada and south carolina.

state. >> i'll do everything i can to help, okay? >> r rorter: and here she is handndn hand with the tearful mother of sandra bland, the chicago woman whose death in a jail cell sparked outrage. >> i'm one of those mothers who met with her and was able to make it through. >> reporter: with clinton and sanders now in a virtual tie we went to her brooklyn headquarters to ask her campaign manager about those polls. what is bernieieanders doing in nevada that you're not? he's ahead right now. >> you'd have to ask him what he's doing. we are executing on our strategy. >> reporter: that strategy, an army of thousands of vololteers in nevada now trying to convince voters to caucus. >> your prediction for that state right now knowing these polls show what they show? >> it's going to be very, very close. we're going to pull out but it's going to be very, very close. >> r rorter: some confidence. bernie sanders took a break from the trail. both sides back in nevada today. clinton made a last-minute stop

they're locked in a battle for latino and union work irks. >> matt dowd, let's start with the republicans. i want to put up thahanbc national wall street poll showing ted cruz ahead or basically tied with donald trump right now. very big shift. you're not really buying it. >> it's an outliar. maybe it's a scientist that discovered a new planet whether everybody thinks there's stuff on the camera lens. if you look at every single other poll donald trump has a double-digit lead and if that poll was true donald trump would not be ahead in every single south carolina poll. they may have discovered something new trend, i doubt it. i think what's going to happen we'll have saturday and see new polls that show donald trump with theheame lead we thought t had. >> big battle if you're right about south carolina, big battle for second, third and fourth place. what kind of difference is this nikki haley endorsement going to make to marco rubio? >> it's like a nascar race and she's drafting for rubio and

marco rubio was in a close third. he could easily because of that endorsement how populalashe is among all those groups he could easily pass ted cruz in the course of this and if he passes that's very good for him, very bad for ted cruz. with donald trump. meanwhile, cecilia, you did spend the day at clinton headquarters in brooklyn not where they want to be right now in nevada and really don't know how it's going to turn out. >> i asked her campaign mananar about that and he smiled. they're trying to downplay nevada right now. they're looking ahead to south carolina where they feel much more confident looking at super tuesday where they're confident there, but, the optics of another loss, a potential loss in nevada do not look good. this is a state she probably should be winning. she hasn't been on the ground longer there. she's got more volunteers there, a second loss in a row is not where they want to be if that happens. >> on top of that what will that do to the south carolina contest just a week later? >> that's the thing. these are not dominos on their own. they're dominos that fall in a row.

it obviously affects south carolina. i don't think it causes him to win it but this whole race is a series of dominos that affect the previous and following domino. >> in the meantime, he gets momentum. >> donald trump calling ononeb bush to get out. we're losing our lights right there. >> that's it. they're done with us. >> if marco rubio gets by jeb bush on saturday pretty much the end of the line for jeb bush. >> i think the jeb bush folks are probably moving in a direction of now of when do we decide to get out of this race. i think they look at the polls and understand what's happening in south carolina, very limited idea that they'll l ve success. my guess is they're starting to make the plan for the long exit out of this race. that's my guess. >> hope that wasn't a signal for us to get out of this race. back to amy. >> thank you, george. you look good in the dark or the light. big announcement from the white house. president obama expecting to make a historic trip to cuba next month, the first sitting prprident in more thank 80 years to visit that country and jim

countries. sources tell me the national security council's second in command will make the announcement and confirm the date of the president's travel at the white house briefing today. jim, it's importantnto note. you've been breaking headlines. you were the first to break this story so great reporting and it's good to know obama will be bigger than beyonce. >> he is in that one little spot in the world. >> thank yououjim. we'll move on to the big battle between apple and the fbi. the company taking heat for refusing to comply with the judge's order to hack the iphone of the san bernardino killers but you see customoms rallying in support of the company. a classic confrontation between privacy and security and our abc news facebook poll shows 74% of you think apple should be forced to comply with that order. the white house and presidential candidates also weighing in. abc's senior justice correspondent pierre thomas is here with the story. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. the fight between apple and the fbi is igniting a fierce debatat across theheountry from the man on the street who owns an iphone to the highest levels of

the white house calling on apple to comply with the judge's order to hack to that terror suspect's iphone and the hunt for clcls in the san bernardino massacre. >> they are not asking apple to redesign its product or to create a new back door to one of their products. they're simply asking g r something that would have an impact on this one device. >> reporter: the obama administration's typically fierce foes agreeing. >> i think being a good corporate citizen is important. >> to think that apple won't allow us to get into her cell phone, who do they think they are? now we have to open it up. >> reporter: some of those who lost loved ones in the terror attacks furious with apple. >> by apple complying with this order, we may get some justice. i mean, it's not going to bring my daughter back. >> reporter: still apple standing firm vowing to appeal. ceo tim cook saying the implications of the government's demands are chilling. adding that the software is, quote, something we simply do not have and something we consider too dangerous to

address this incident. >> reporter: the fbi releasing this statement, we are investigating the compromise with partners at lapd to determine the person or group responsible. now, the hospital paid the hackers using an internet currency making it much harder to track who got that money. ransomware attacks are common but targeting a hospital is unusual and concerng, amy. >> oh, indeed. i mean very concerning. >> it could encourage others to do it again. >> i hope it doesn't continue. all right, thank you, eva. michael, you have a nice big headline. >> a nice big headline. another big headline. a florida couple who purchased one of three winning powerball tickets has now come forward finally to claim their chunk of that historic $1.5 billion jackpot and we have abc's steve osunsasa in tallahassee thisis morning with more. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael.

florida winner some advice this morning saying don't let people pressure you. have someone else sort your mail and most importantly, if it feels wrong, don't do it. the robinson family says they now wish that any famil who wins the lottery can do can some anonymously. the rulul are different in each state but that winner has a year to come forward. michael. >> well, like they said the secret is out but seem like really sweet people. >> legitimate concerns. >> such insight into w wt that feels like. it's not j jt a huge celeleation. >> there's a lot of worry. >> we have a map. we have a map here now. in this map this shows the winners who have come forward from munford, tennessee, to florida in melbourne beach but there is one winner in chino hills that has not come forward. i'm worried they don't know they have the ticket. that's what i'm worried about. i hope this prize does not go unclaimed. >> we have a little bit of time left for that.

the corner though. >> to rob. we had a big storm in the west. >> might be blowing that lottery around with winds across california including chino hills. damaging winds with trees coming down, power outages and big-time wrecks this one on highway 101 in northern parts of marin county. that's the ongoing issue today. winds strong from california but all the way up into the northern plains and in advance of that we're looking for record warmth. red flag warnings, maybe brush fires. look at that, 85 degrees in

toasty stuff.plan on highs generally into the 40s area-wide with the warmest readings over our far southwest counties. clouds may initially be an issue, but given that these are higher, thinner cirrus clouds, we should be able to warm up regardless. the wind will also be increasing out of the southeast today wititgusts up to 30mph. tomorrow continues to be the warmest day with highs well up into the 50s with windy conditions. the sky should generally be everybody getting into the warm-up act into the 60s in d.c., upper 50s in chicago and here in new york city in the northeast much warmer thisis weekend than i iwas last weekekd. >> a roller coaster. >> thank you, rob. coming up here on "gma," the teen who calls himself dr. love. he was arrested for treating patients without a license speaking out now and the question we asked him that led to this walkout. >> i'm sorry. i'm going to have to cut this interview short.

that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you'religible for

exchange for that money? >> i can tell you this, accusations are merely accusations and services, you would have to define that, whether she paid for me to just show up, that's up to her. >> reporter: you're not denying the fact she paid you $3,500 or so, correct? >> no, i am denying that. >> reporter: are you a fraud?? it seems like evevything you're saying to me is either evasive or an outright lie. >> i don't appreciate your tone. i don't appreciate the way you're portraying this interview to actually be. >> repororr: then a moment we didn't expect. i mean, it seems like you've spoken to a lawyer who's only to the media but police as well. >> i don't'tnow where you're receiving this infnfmation from and it's inaccurate. i'm sorry. i'm going to have to cut this interview short. i'm going to have to t this >> reporter: and, in fact, he did walking out the door. now, we have a standing offer to malachi to finish the interview.

large mber, something like 50,000 enrolled but most didn't qualify. >> 24 is i think the most important thing here. 50,000 men were having symptoms and wanted to get in this study. only 15% of them when theyy measured truly had low levels of testosterone. and only 1.5% could take it because the others had medical conditions that said no so that's a lot of people who think they have thehe problem who t tly don't. >> it's got to be something else going on. >> probably is. there are a lot of things that go on between men and women as they age and it's not all related to testosterone. >> meanwhile, what do we learn about the risks. >> there have been other studies that have raised concerns about heart attack, stroke, possible prostate cancer. this study only went on for a year so it's not able to answer the question. if it works is it safe? we need longer studies. >> how should men think about this. >> you have to first say if you're having these symptoms is my testosterone really low so no one should take it unless they've had at least two levels that are really low. if you're over 65, think about

if you're under 65, you just have to wait for those other studies to come through because you can't take this information and say that it applies to you. >> rich besser, thanks very much. you'll take questions throughout the morning. >> i think there will be a lot of them. >> tweet him @drrichardbesser or go to "gma's" facebook page. now to michael. here's what's coming up on the "gma morning menu." shondz shonda rhrhes has a working message for parents. jennifer garner is moving on but she and ben affleck are putting their kids first. how they're navigating co-parenting. plus, the hot mess express. it's on a mission to turn this room from drab to fab. just wait and see how we did it. very interesting stuff. all that coming up live on "gma" here in times square with the people.

>> reporter: rhimes calls that passion for her job the hum. >> the hum is music. the hum is light and air and when you have a hum like that you can't help but strive for greatness. >> reporter: but that hum, that spark just plain stopped. something so many women face inn their lives. >> the hum of the engine died. i stopped loving work. i couldn't restart the engine. if you make -- if you work, if you love what you do, if you know what the hum feels like, when the hum stops, who are you? >> reporter: how did she recharge her batteries? her toddler helped her find the answer. >> aoddler refers to honey as though she's a southern waitress. honey, i'm going to need some milk for my sippy cup. and then my southern waitress toddler asks me a question. she says, momma, wanna play? and i'm just about to say no when i realize my southern waitress didn't call me honey. when did that happen?
