the exclusive interview you'll see only on "gma." no laughing matter. will ferrell under fire for his plans to play ronald reagan suffering from alzheimer's in a new film. the former president's family in an uproar. what they are saying this morning. and good morning, america. happy friday. what a morning it is here in times square. we are kicking off the finale of our huge wedding event. >> it's huge. final touches under way as you can see. the countdown is on for the big finish to our 24-hour marathon 100 weddings in one day and it has been an incredible event. look at elvis there. >> yes, absolutely and we're calling it our "wide world of weddings." taking place all over the globe. right here you're about to look at a ceremony in south korea just moments ago and so much more of our celebration coming up and some very big surprise guest, as well. >> a lot of surprises this morning.

>> i hugged one of our surprise guests this morning. it was very nice. yes, all right. we're excited about that. a lot more to come but first we want to get to the big headline this morning, the race for president and those violent riots breaking out overnight. the images stunning at donald trump's rally in california. this all as the candidates prepare for the critical indiana primary just four days away. abc's cecilia vega has the latest from evansville. there is a lot to talk about, cecilia. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. this is a critical battleground here and the main newspaper here is announcing its support of hillary clinton and john kasich calling donald trump, quote, a danger to the united states and to the world. overnight, donald trump's first california rally was met by hundreds of protesters who clashed with police in riot gear, they jumped on police car, drove doughnuts, nearly 20 were arrested. one trump supporter beaten. but before heading to the golden state trump expressed his

confidence in the hoosier state. >> indiana will have such an impact on who it's going to be and i'm the only one to beat hillary clinton. and we'll beat her so badly. >> ted cruz in the hoosier state too in dire need of an upset to stay in the race. >> we are at the edge of a cliff staring downward and it is the commonsense and good judgment of the hoosier state that is the one thing that stands between us and plunging over the cliff. >> reporter: cruz now enlisting his new running mate to join the tag team fight. but this morning the fight on the gop side hotter than ever. former house speaker john boehner heard in this recording telling stanford university students what he really thinks of cruz. >> how about ted cruz? [ laughter ] >> lucifer in the flesh. in washington i have as many democrat friends as i do

republican friends and i get along with almost everybody. but i have never worked with a more miserable [ bleep ]. >> reporter: and cruz fired right back. >> good morning, everyone, he allowed his inner trump to come out. see, if you're happy with john boehner as speaker of the house and you want a president like john boehner, donald trump is your man. >> reporter: and back to donald trump, there was a scare at his manhattan headquarters overnight. some workers evacuated after they discovered an envelope addressed to donald trump contained a suspicious white powder inside. police say that powder was not found to be contaminated, george, but they are investigating to find out what it was. >> yeah, they got to the get to the bottom of that. a lot of raw feelings out there. cecilia, thanks very much. more from jon karl and let's start out with the importance of indiana. you heard donald trump say indiana will have an unbelievable impact. walk through for everyone why indiana is so important. >> indiana could be the last stand for those trying to stop trump. take a look at where the race

stands right now. trump has nearly a thousand delegates. he needs less than 250 to clinch. that brings us to indiana on tuesday. 57 delegates in the state of indiana. the winner will get almost all of those and if you look at what trump has done so far, he has won 51% of all of the delegates so far. if he wins indiana, george, he only needs to win 44% of the remaining delegates. he can coast his way to the nomination, even if he doesn't do as well as he's been doing. if he loses indiana he needs to get 53% of the remaining delegates. difficult, he needs to do better than he's been doing but not impossible. the bottom line, indiana is must win for ted cruz. it's not necessarily must win for donald trump. >> but that would set up a big contest in california. meantime, you had former speaker boehner with those tough words for ted cruz and sort of indicative of the kind of challenges cruz has faced in this campaign. >> reporter: absolutely and now you're seeing establishment

republicans starting to get used to the idea of donald trump as the nominee. two reasons for that, one, he is winning, the other reason they really don't like ted cruz. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. we have some big weather headlines to get to. some severe storms overnight. a state of emergency declared in mississippi after damaging winds and heavy rains drowned the south leading to dozens of rescues. ginger is here with all the latest. good morning, ginger. >> we have severe thunderstorms on the map at this hour. happening this morning in parts of arkansas and oklahoma and look at the snow in colorado and new mexico. major temperature gradients setting up. a powerful storm, potential for flash flooding from houston to texarkana. just look at these pictures. >> oh, i can't even see the road. >> a state of emergency in gulfport, mississippi. nearly 10 inches of rain falling in the past 24 hours. winds so fierce this traffic light came crashing down barely missing an suv. police taking to the streets in boats rolling out a vehicle specifically designed for

rescues. >> my youngest son called me and said mom, my room is flooded. >> wlox capturing this rescue live. >> this is it a dangerous situation out here. >> you can see a woman running and helping that other driver. biloxi's river swelling at least 17 feet in the past 24 hours. in gould, oklahoma, a new system spinning up a striking supercell. and in the panhandle of texas, hail pelting drivers. so much falling, people breaking out the snow shovels to clear paths. and just outside indianapolis, a possible tornado slicing through parts of boone county. so here's the setup today. we've got that dip in the jet stream, the low slides across the panhandle of texas and oklahoma city to dallas right there to almost little rock and enhanced risk for severe weather. the biggest threat would be hail and damaging wind but still the potential for an isolated tornado along the stationary

front sitting there. stationary meaning it's going to move slowly and that means a lot of rain. we're talking flash flood potential anywhere from the gulf from houston to new orleans again, right up to close to little rock and parts of alabama and mississippi too so this is a big one. it'll be around for a couple of days. i'll have much more coming up. >> covering a lot of the map, thanks. time for the nfl draft. it kicked off with a lot of excitement. surprises and some controversy. after a series of social media posts appeared to cost one hot prospect millions of dollars, abc's ryan smith here with the latest. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: quarterbacks jared goff and carson wentz topped the draft's first round but the talk of the evening offensive tackle laremy tunsil. his draft stock fell dramatically when minutes before the draft his twitter and instagram accounts were hacked, he claims and a damning video posted. >> with the first pick -- with the second pick -- with the third pick. >> reporter: while the draft is where dreams are made, it's also a place where they're dashed. overnight offensive tackle laremy tunsil touted as one of

the best players in college football sat most of the night undrafted. the reason, just minutes before the draft began, this video of the all-star athlete smoking out of a bong was posted to his twitter page. the video and tunsil's twitter account quickly deleted but the damage was already done. >> if you can't keep yourself on the straight and narrow as far as your choices, how can they pick you? >> reporter: tunsil sat waiting as team after team after team passed him up while he waited additional images were uploaded to his instagram account showing alleged text messages between tunsil and one of his college coaches, tunsil allegedly asking for help paying bills and rent. >> the miami dolphins select laremy tunsil. >> reporter: tunsil eventually falling to the 13th pick overall. facing questions about both social media posts at a press conference after the draft. >> man, somebody is hacking my account and, man, i made that

mistake, you know, several years ago and somehow somebody got in my photos and hacked my twitter account and apparently somebody attacked my instagram account too. it's getting crazy. >> reporter: they addressed the leak saying we had known about it. the video is two years old so from all the information we had, we were comfortable with it. and on taking money -- >> was an exchange between you and your coach money. >> i have to say yeah. >> that admission could potentially get ole miss in trouble with the ncaa. ole miss telling us the university is aware of the reports from the nfl draft regarding laremy tunsil. we will aggressively investigate and fully cooperate with the ncaa and the s.e.c. tunsil was suspended by the ncaa for the first seven games last season for accepting improper benefits. >> and ryan joins us now. put dollars and cents on it. how much did that end up costing him. >> the ravens were considering him for the sixth pick. if he had been selected there that would have been the difference between $7 million. he was once in the conversation for the top spot.

now while the quarterback picks weren't a surprise, the difference between the rookie contracts at the quarterback position number one and where he was picked at 13, around $15 million. >> we all remember the johnny manziel draft controversy. you can't blame them for being gun shy. >> they want to make sure they know who they have and be trouble-free and laremy tunsil said that was in the past, i've changed and the dolphins said let's take a chance on him. he's a good player and a good person. >> thanks very much. >> a reminder that nothing is private on your phone. all right. >> that's true. >> thanks. now to another big headline. a bomb scare at a baltimore tv station. employees evacuated after a man in an animal costume claiming he was wearing a suicide vest began making threats before s.w.a.t. teams took him down. pierre thomas has all the details. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, amy. right now it's calm here at the station but for a few hours yesterday, it was terrifying.

a man wearing a surgical mask and a hedgehog animal costume claiming to have a bomb at baltimore tv station wbff. shot four times by police. >> man's down. man's down. >> reporter: bizarre incident began at 1:20 in the afternoon when 25-year-old alex brizzi walked into the station's lobby. he claimed he was wearing a suicide vest along with his outrageous outfit. his demands, that the station air what was on a flash drive. >> we're all inside working on our stories and our security guard comes in and you can tell he's very urgent and says everyone needs to evacuate now. >> reporter: the security guard was able to keep the suspect calm for roughly 30 minutes before leaving the building himself. more than an hour later the suspect suddenly leaves the lobby, confronted by s.w.a.t. teams shot four times. >> the man is walking out. the man is walking out. >> reporter: police using a robot to disarm the suspect only

then discovering he wasn't wearing a bomb. the wires and circuit boards covering candy bars, not explosives. overnight, his father said his son's mental health had recently unraveled. >> he just broke up with his girlfriend but it looks like he just had a mental breakdown. >> reporter: as for motive police are still investigating but family members fear he was trying to commit suicide. george. >> okay, thanks very much. we move on to new arrests involving the family of san bernardino terrorists taken into custody as part of an fbi investigation then two of them released on bond overnight. abc's brian ross is here with the latest. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, the family of the shooter had denied they had any connection to the attacks but when the fbi took a closer look they say they found the shooter's brother and two other relatives were involved in criminal wrongdoing of a much different kind. the shooter's brother and his wife were released on bond late last night in california after

the fbi moved in to arrest them on charges they arranged a marriage fraud green card scam. >> shots heard. >> reporter: they drew out of the massive investigation of the san bernardino terror attack that killed 14 people in december. anybody who had any connection to the husband/wife team of attackers, syed farook and his pakistani wife was put under tight scrutiny for any possible wrongdoing. in february fbi agents raided the family home removing files and documents leading to the arrest thursday of three members of farook's family. farook's brother raheel, a decorated u.s. navy veteran, his wife tatiana and tatiana's sister mariya all charged with the marriage fraud scam to get a green card for mariya who is a russian citizen. >> usually the case that those who have violated immigration laws are only discovered in the course of some other type of criminal investigation. but when the fbi arrested farook's best friend enrique marquez for providing the guns in the attack agents say he admitted he was being paid to go

through with a sham marriage with mariya, the other russian sister. authorities found mariya was living with a man in los angeles who she said was the father of her child and not with marquez. the government to date has provided no evidence to indicate the three were involved in the attacks in any way or knew about them in advance but continue to investigate. amy. >> all right, thanks so much. brian. we turn now to frightening moments for high school students on a trip to chicago. look at the moment after they evacuated their charter bus. it burst into flames after the driver saw some smoke coming from the engine and pulled over. well, fire soon engulfed the entire back of the bus and the pictures inside, look at that, show the extensive damage of what's left of the seats. students say that fire started one minute after they evacuated the bus. incredibly no one was injured, thanks to that quick-thinking by the driver seeing the smoke and getting everybody out in time. >> absolutely. >> could have been a nightmare. >> absolutely. all right, want to switch gears to the latest on the passing of prince. new reports about what may have

12-month-olds, they're talking talking and using different intonations and facial expressions and what they found the longer the parent looked at the object or interacted with it, the longer focus the baby put on that. >> if you're into it, the baby is into it. >> absolutely. it's not always easy or realistic for parents so what's your advice? >> that is an understatement and any parent, of course, knows that. i think the important things, first of all, stay in the moment. it's so hard when you have a baby not to try to kind of do other things but, remember, if you're staring at your phone, what are you teaching your baby to do because they follow what we do, not just what we say. keep the multitasking to a minimum, because it is really about quality, not just quantity and it's really about the interest, the attention and the response that you're giving that moment and that play, because play sets the foundation for learning, social development, language development. this is really important. >> good stuff. thanks very much. now let's go to lara with the "morning menu." >> here's what's coming up on our "gma morning menu." me-ternity time, it is the

inflammatory comments from author meghann foye saying she wants what she calls the perks of maternity leave without having kids. she calls it me-ternity leave. meghann was supposed to join us right here live. she has just pulled out of the interview. there has been so much backlash about her comments, viewers across the country weighing in on this all night long. >> you had some editorial coughing there. >> because the perks of maternity leave? it's the opposite of me-ternity leave. you're giving yourself to another person. that's what you're doing, taking care of another life. >> it's not about a perk. maternity leave. you're recuperating from giving birth. >> yes, and then attending to every need of a child who needs you. anyway -- >> that's what amy and lara thinks. here's what everybody else does. >> take a look at what everyone else is talking about. >> some women got pregnant. i got promotions. >> reporter: author meghann foye worked long hours for ten years constantly tethered to her phone

even when out of the office. she was burned out and unlike so many women who became pregnant and took maternity leave, she says she never got to take what she describes as a break. so she decided to take as she calls it a me-ternity leave and she said other childless women should take one too. in an article for "the new york post" she explained it seems that parenthood was the only path that provided a modicum of flexibility that allowed her co-workers to leave at a designated time and that maternity time gave women a whole new lens through which to see their lives. it struck a nerve with angry mothers raging that maternity leave is hardly a retreat. with readers calling the article ridiculous and baffling but in the article meghann says women are bad at putting ourselves first but when you have a child you learn how to self-advocate and put the needs of your family first. a well-crafted me-ternity

leave can give you the same things and claims she's advocating for all workers, work/life balance is tough for everyone and happens most when parents and nonparents support and don't judge each other. as we said, meghann foye was supposed to join us. she was going to respond to all this. she just pulled out so rebecca jarvis stepped in as well as dr. janet taylor who has four kids herself. i chuckled at flexibility and motherhood being symbiotic. it makes you inflexible in so many ways as we know but i want to ask you, dr. taylor, i think most mothers would agree that a me-ternity leave and maternity leave are like diabolically opposed in terms of what they mean to one other. two different things entirely. >> there's no question you need me time but maternity leave is not a time of purpose -- i mean play, passion, reflection. it's a time of you bonding and being sleep deprived but all about your child and attachment and there's no timetable on that.

>> it's the most selfless time you'll ever have in your life. it's not about you at all actually. >> by the way, being a mother is lifelong. you don't check in and check out of that hopefully. >> let's talk about the outrage. i mean i don't need you to explain why i'm upset but maybe just for the viewers who are feeling that maybe she has a really valid point, and i think, rebecca, you're among them. explain why so many mothers are upset at this notion. >> well, i mean once again it pits moms versus nonmoms and as women we don't need that. i think it really makes -- it minimizes the notion of stress and guilt for working moms, and it also really undermines the fact that being a mother is a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week full time commitment and we can't belittle that because we know that our kids just don't need us when they're younger and infants. they need us throughout their lives. >> so true, and, rebecca, i know she did touch on a point, meghann did, that there is resentment that sometimes builds among women who don't have kids and moms in terms of who is working longer, who is working harder. >> right, and i think that that can exist. i just want to clarify

something. you said that i agree with her or something to that effect. >> oh, no, no, no. >> i think for me as the daughter of a working mom who sacrificed absolutely everything for my sister and i, i appreciate absolutely everything that she put on the table, and i'm hoping to be that working mom someday, and i plan to take maternity leave, and i look forward to my husband taking paternity leave because of all of the leaps and bounds that companies have made over time but i do think that there's something going on in society right now where people are delaying parenthood longer. the average age of a first time mother is 26. on top of that, companies in the great recession cut back so dramatically, there are fewer people to fill that void when someone is out, whether it's for maternity leave or, heaven forbid, sick leave, there are fewer people to cover the void in the workplace and i appreciate how people who are still sitting in the workplace feel when they have to fill in for whomever that person is but

as somebody, again, who plans to hopefully have that bond someday with my own child and plans to have children someday, i can appreciate the importance of that and that i think supersedes everything else. >> but it's even not about filling in, i think there's a reality about what it takes to be a mom. that means taking time off. there are a number, millions of women who can't even take a day off because if they take a day off, they'll lose their jobs and don't have maternity leave so i think it's again not pitting us versus them but understanding as women, as mothers as much as paternity leave, i appreciate it, as mothers we make the ultimate sacrifice. >> the nerve that was touched is that maternity leave has nothing to do with me time. it's not me time and i think that was the issue. thank you both for joining us. george, lara, we could keep talking about this. >> it does stir up a lot of conversation. >> we want to have a happy morning so -- >> so we'll have our huge wedding celebration right now. 100 weddings in 24 hours still counting all around the globe. so many special moments. >> it really has been great. the weddings are still under way as we count down to our big finale. t.j. has been part of it all
