7:03 am
the race for president now. and on the republican side, donald trump and ted cruz locked caucuses are dominated by voters. abc's tom llamas is on the trial in des moines. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. and neither candidate is turning the other cheek and now cruz's aggressively going after trump to draw distinction with voters and cruz says, trump is now rattled. this morning, donald trump sending a signal to a key iowa voting bloc, saying he can do something senator ted cruz cannot. >> i'll be much stronger in protecting the evangelicals. >> reporter: in an interview with the christian broadcasting network trump compared himself with ronald reagan. >> he didn't read the bible every day seven days a week, but he was a great president. >> reporter: on monday, donald trump quoting scripture at jerry falwell's evangelical liberty university. fumbling the bible verse typically known as second corinthians. >> but 2 corinthians, right? 2 corinthians, 3:17.
7:04 am
limbaugh issuing this warning to voters. >> there are a lot of conservatives who think that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, that he is a traditional lifetime new yorker and that means something. >> reporter: and according to cruz, he's chipping away at trump. >> don't listen to any candidate. look to our actions. as the krip churs scriptures say, you shall know them by their fruits. >> reporter: while trump is taking the fight to the airwaves, they believe cruz will be one on the ground. volunteers try to make 1200 calls a day. >> this is what we're convinced wins iowa. >> reporter: but iowa, nor new hampshire, have ever seen a campaign or a candidate like trump. >> what was that? is that a dog? >> hillary. >> uh-oh, it's hillary. >> reporter: and trump has three events today here in iowa. he says there will be a big announcement at the last event, the first event is in john wayne's hometown. george, it's about 9 degrees.
7:05 am
i hope trump has layered some of those navy blue suits he loves so much. >> jon karl will talk more about it. it cannot be more engaged. trump unloaded on cruz. cruz doing the same thing to trump but what about this factor now, these talk show hosts like rush limbaugh weighing in. >> reporter: we may have reached a pivotal point in this campaign where those influential voices on talk radio are starting to ing to ing to turn on donald trump. until now these have been some of trump's most reliable cheerleaders but in the latest fight they are siding with ted cruz, not just rush limbaugh, mark levine yesterday said trump should cut the crap with his attacks on cruz. so that new york values attack from cruz drove people right back to what trump himself said 0 years ago.
7:06 am
pro-abortion rights, open to gay marriage, because he is from new york, not iowa. this is the attack that could really hurt him. >> evangelical voters could make all the difference in iowa. you saw that direct pitch yesterday at liberty university from trump. >> reporter: yeah, now, evangelicals have never been the core constituency for trump. he said he never asks god for forgiveness. yesterday at liberty, he did something we hear from on the trail a lot, lumping together his book, "the art of the deal" with the bible. listen to this. >> i always say, a deep, deep second to the bible, the bible is the best, the bible, the bible blows it away. there's nothing like the bible. but "the art of the deal" was the best-selling business book and obama didn't read it. and kerry didn't read it. >> reporter: so if you look in iowa, cruz son the rise largely because he's winning among evangelicals. though, george, i have to say, if you look at national polls, the most recent still has trump with a big lead among evangelicals nationwide.
7:07 am

7:11 am
how low will they go? >> they go so low, robin. most of the country isn't going those customers at that gas station in northern michigan, but prices this week should drop another 10 to 20 cents. the national average this morning is now $1.89, 48 states and gas buddy is forecasting we will save an additional $17 billion at the pump this year. it's great news for consumers, robin, but, of course, there is the other side to this story. >> yes, there always is. and you bring this out. prices. what is it? >> all the people who are employed by energy companies, because prices have dropped so far, so fast, it also puts their jobs in jeopardy. so we do think of them this morning, too, robin. >> we do keep that in mind, rebecca, thank you. tennis overshadowing the australian open. tennis officials are denying the some of the sport's biggest
7:12 am
ryan smith here with the story. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, george. the australian open is in full swing. but this scandal is dominating the headlines. even serene in williams speaking out, saying she was totally unaware of it. and all of her opponents seem to play hard. but now, more stars on the hard court want to know exactly who has tainted their game. this morning, it's not the play at the australian open garnering headlines, but the reports from the bbc and buzzfeed which allege that tennis authorities suppressed evidence of match fixing by players. failing to investigate around 26,000 suspicious matches. this morning, the sport's top stars, roger federer and andy murray, speaking out. wanting to know just who was involved. >> i would love to hear names, you know, then, at least it's concrete stuff and you can actually debate about it. >> it's bad obviously, you want to be made aware of the people that are, you know, potentially involved in this. >> reporter: while the association of tennis
7:13 am
tens of thousands of dollars to deliberately throw matches. buzzfeed said they have text messages that prove it. >> the evidence actually included 82 text messages that one of these players had exchanged with the ringleader of the sicilian gambling syndicate. >> millions and millions of bucks are bet on it and tennis is the easiest to fix because it involves one person. >> reporter: worl number -- world number one novak djokovic admitted someone on his team was approached in 2007 about throwing a first round match in exchange for $200,000. >> i was not approached directly and, of course, we -- we threw it away right away. i mean, it didn't even get to me. >> reporter: he and other stars like murray say it's hypocritical while players are coming under such scrutiny a major sponsor of the australian open is william hill, a british betting agency where you can bet on the winner of matches, sets, and games. that gambling sponsor william hill is not implicated in the scandal. they're saying their partnership

7:15 am
than previously thought. they say since 1997 the world's oceans have absorbed the same amount of heat energy as they absorbed in the previous 130 years, raising more concern about rising sea levels and severe storms. overseas fire spread through the roof and top floor of the iconic ritz hotel in paris today. the hotel is being renovated and was due to re-open in march. thankfully no one was injured. a close call for a man driving near washington, d.c. an ambulance hit a light pole and the pole then came crashing through the roof of his toyota missing his head by just six inches before crashing to the floor. he credits god for saving his life. finally, this could change the world or at least my world. scientists claim they've invented the world's first hangover-free alcohol. it's called koryo liquor made from the plant extract ginseng and apparently replaces sugar with burnt rice.
7:16 am
north korea and let's say the north koreans have been known to overstate their discoveries. reports that kim jong-un oversaw the production himself and favorite quote from the pyongyang news. it's highly appreciated as it is suave and causes no hangover. >> suave. >> nothing says suave like burnt rice. >> or kim jong-un. >> exactly, exactly. and that's real combination. i'm going to switch gears. thanks, amy. i do want to celebrate the life of eagles co-founder glenn frey, so many celebrating the rock 'n' roll legend this morning. he passed away at the age of 67 and abc's chris connelly takes a look back at his incredible contribution to the music world. take it easy >> reporter: as a principal singer, songwriter and guitarist

8:11 am
unless you have a personal involvement in it. >> reporter: speaking out about it, she says, has been good medicine. >> it's made my life better and i do feel and hope that it's made other people's lives better. >> reporter: the 26-year-old "nashville" star checked herself into a facility in october to help treat her postpartum depression, something her character on the abc show also struggled with. life imitating art. >> help me get my life back. >> a source of the show has told us that that story line was developed long before hayden gave birth. the show did give her time, though, to go through the treatment off camera as her character on camera went through the similar situation. >> reporter: the first time mom to 1-year-old kaia is just 1 of 600,000 moms across the country diagnosed with this form of depression every year, and she hopes talking openly about it will help break the stigma of the disease. >> she believes that she's going to be a more positive role model for her daughter showing her that she can be a proud,
8:12 am
>> i want to put out a good example for my daughter and tell her that she can be anyone she wants, and she does not have to be afraid that somebody's not going to like it because no matter what you do, there's always going to be somebody who doesn't like it. >> reporter: sharing her story, she says, has helped her heal. >> i was floored by the positive response and really happy that i can stand up for the women who are out there suffering from this and let them know that it's okay and they're not alone. >> reporter: hayden says she is refusing to stay silent, not as a role model for her daughter but also for all those women who are struggling and wants to send a clear message that struggling with postpartum doesn't mean you're weak and certainly does not mean you're a bad mom. robin. >> not at all. juju, thank you. and here with us now, abc's chief women's health correspondent, jen ashton. i know you want to weigh in on this. you were watching and hearing
8:13 am
say, but before we talk about postpartum in particular we want to acknowledge there is a wide range of feelings that women have following birth. >> oh, absolutely. and as juju just said, this doesn't make you a bad mom. this makes you normal. it makes you human. in fact, we have a list of the life's most stressful psychological events and, you know, you have things on there like death of a spouse, divorce, pregnancy, birth of a child, that's on that list, that is a significant life stressor, and we also have to bring -- we have to broaden the scope a little bit, robin. yes, here we're talking about the natural birth mother. but make no mistake, if you bring a new baby into your home, it can affect the partner, the spouse, the entire family. it's a major event. >> sometimes we hear, oh, the mother just has the blues, has the baby blues. when, though -- what's the criteria that you know that it has extended far beyond that to depression? >> you know, i've delivered over 1500 babies, so i've seen every possible manifestation of maternal behavior here.
8:14 am
where you're going to see some crying, some tearfulness. you're going to have some trouble sleeping and eating. you might be unsure how to care for your baby. that's kind of normal and these symptoms or feelings typically will last about two weeks. when you make the jump to postpartum depression, which affects anywhere from 10% to 20% of moms, so we're talking a lot of women here, this is not subtle. these are intense feelings, overwhelming sadness. you cannot perform what we call your activities of daily living. you can't care for yourself. you might have trouble caring for your baby and in severe situations you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. >> well, we heard in juju's report, 600,000 women a year diagnosed with this. >> right. >> if you're a new mom or have a loved one and you suspect something isn't right, what do you do? >> you have to speak up and ask for help. it's not a sign of weakness. it's a sign of strength. at the end of the day it's your health and your baby's health so asking for help is the first step. >> there are various treatments. >> a lot of treatments.
8:15 am
therapy, in severe cases hospitalization, but remember this is out there. it does not discriminate. it can affect the celebrity as well as the average everyday mom. we need to talk about it more. >> and we're so glad that hayden is leading that conversation and the manner in which she's doing it. >> absolutely. >> all right, jen, going to be busy again. you can take your questions, she'll take them throughout the morning. you can go to drjashton on twitter or go to our facebook page. amy. >> all right, robin. well, let's turn now to "the bachelor" bombshell that has so many people talking this morning. spoiler alert, if you have not watched yet, three women are gone, and one of them chose to leave. abc's reena ninan has the very latest. >> reporter: tears flowing and tempers flaring. >> go away. >> me? >> leave me the [ bleep ] alone. >> reporter: week three of "the bachelor" delivering plenty of drama as personalities clash. >> she is not letting anything get in her way. >> no. she's very aggressive. >> reporter: olivia making enemies. >> i would love more, more, more, more time with him and i'm going to do whatever.

8:17 am
>> i had no idea it would be this hard. >> reporter: telling us in an exclusive interview her take on all the drama after having a front row seat. >> lace, i personally really like her. she's a very sweet girl. i think we all get a little bit different when we drink but i think she'll learn her lesson. >> reporter: and revealing her pick for ben's future wife. >> caila, she's my soul sister. i really love her, and hopefully it will work out for ben with her. >> reporter: for "good morning america," reena ninan, abc news, new york. >> all right, joining us with her take on last night's drama, "bachelor" super fan and co-host of "the view," michelle collins. self-proclaimed super fan. >> i sure am. >> last night's episode, lace leaving, were you as shocked as everyone else? >> this was the like elimination kind of heard around the world
8:18 am
>> to better herself. >> which was like i always felt lace was reality tv crazy and i loved her for it and then i was like, wait, she has real problems and i feel bad for her. she's working on herself which is nice. >> right. >> she also has a tattoo that says work on yourself which is a great reminder. >> good reminder. always something to look at. now with lace out of the way, will olivia now emerge as the new villain, villainess of the bachelorettes? >> amber emerged as a major villain. she was very mean to jubilee which was i thought -- it kind of rubbed me the wrong way and didn't look good in front of ben. but can we talk about olivia because i am now obsessed with olivia. >> ben gave some disturbing news, some sad news about something that happened in his life and then olivia chose a conversation that was quite odd coming right out of this announcement. >> let me tell you something, last night's "bachelor" can be defined by two words. i know you won't like them. fat toes. i know you don't want to hear about it. i'm obsessed with her feet. the guy has family members die or family friends. she comes in and talks about her
8:19 am
now, listen, i get it. to me cankles and death in the family, similar, similar things. it's not easy, amy. you can't take your foot on a diet. there's no toe cleanse. you can't do a juice toe cleanse. she actually is the only entertaining thing sort of other than amber. >> right, and then jubilee decided to go and give him a massage. >> oh, my god. >> which is also a little strange and the other girls did not like it. >> oh, no, jubilee is on her game. let me tell you something, the other girls didn't like it because they didn't think of it. they didn't know there was a massage table hanging out by the pool. who knew that? she was on it. she already had her rose and said, you know what, my man wants a massage and she gave it to him. >> we can't wait to see what happens next. >> oh, my god. i'm so excited. >> anything can happen. michelle collins, thank you very much. a new episode of "the bachelor" airs monday night at 8:00, 7:00 central right here on abc. and you can see michelle, of course, on "the view" at 11:00 a.m. eastern. let's head outside. chilly out there, rob. >> hey, amy, it's 1 degree. the windchill is 1 degree so
