day, good morning, america. breaking news, the fbi takes on help with the terror investigation. are critical clues to more plots hidden on the phone of the san bernardino shooter. why the ceo is refusing to help. it could affect everyone with a smartphone. teaming up to take down donald trump. ted cruz, marco rubio and even the president taking aim at the gop front-runner. >> i continue to believe mr. trump will not be president. >> as hillary clinton tries to avoid another bernie sanders upset, a brand-new poll showing them in a dead heat ahead of the next big vote. winter warning. a new alert about dangers on the ski slopes. the terrifying moment this young above ground and the hero bystanders who helped rescue him. the new best in show crowned after facing rough competition from thousands of dogs, c.j., the german shorthaired pointer walking away with the biggest

in times square only on "gma." all right, and good morning, america. there he is, c.j., the winner of the westminster kennel club's best in show award. he's just arriving here in times square. he took a walk there on our green carpet in case you missed it. we cannot wait to meet the top dog coming up. hear what he has to say about his win. the biggest bone of all. >> a great-looking dog. >> walks like a winner. we will get to that. we have breaking news overnight. apple is refusing to follow a government order to hack the san bernardino shooter's phone. the fbi believes important clues about accomplices and more plots could be hidden on the phone but apple says complying with the government order could endanger everyone with an iphone. abc's pierre thomas has all the latest from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. it's a showdown between the fbi

the fbi trying to force apple to open that iphone as it hunts for clues in the san bernardino massacre. apple saying no way and this morning a federal court is weighing in. a federal judge in california ordering apple to help the fbi unlock an iphone used by syed farook who went on a murderous rampage with his wife leaving 14 dead in san bernardino. >> we still have one of those killer's phones we have not been able to open and it's been over two months still working on it. >> reporter: the ruling could be a key victory in their long-running battle with apple and other tech companies about the government's ability to access encrypted data on smartphones and tablets. apple vowing to appeal and saying it would put the privacy of hundreds of millions at risk and telling us overnight the government is asking apple to hack our own users and fear this demand would undermine the very freedoms our government protects. the fbi has been unable to get into the smartphone because it

code to open the device. ten unsuccessful attempts would cause it to erase key data and make the phone permanently inaccessible. >> the battle is the traditional one between the security of society and the cost of individual privacy. >> reporter: but that security feature a critical roadblock. the fbi has been unable to get inside to look at texts or e-mails which might help them determine who farook and his wife might have been communicating with and where they might have traveled before the massacre. investigators are desperate to find out what happened in an 18-minute gap between the attack and the couple'seadly encounter with law enforcement. the couple allegedly swore allegiance to the leader of isis and the fbi wants to know the extent of isis' involvement if any. that phone may hold the critical answers but the security on that phone is precisely what customers want if their phone is stolen or lost so privacy versus security in a legal fight that could go all the way to the supreme court. george.

analyst dan abrams about this. such a momentous case, dan and apple is likely to be under tremendous pressure. what does the law require? >> up to this point the legal standard has been reasonable technical assistance, right. helping with a password is no big deal but now these new phones have become so technologically advanced that at this point, to offer the assistance that the government needs, they have to literally create a whole new system to back door these phones and apple is basically saying, look, once we create this, it's going to get out and as a result, everything we've built in terms of protecting security and privacy is going to be out the door so this is one of those ultimate battles between the government's right to get information for an investigation versus typically it's the media fights very often for the right to know, here you have apple saying it's the privacy our users.

well. >> the minute they create this, they say, it's going to get out and as a result, no one is going to be safe is what apple is saying. really interesting situation. >> fascinating. thank you. now to the race for the white house. it is "your voice, your vote," just three days until the critical south carolina primary. the latest poll there has donald trump with a 16-point lead and abc's tom llamas has the very latest from charleston, south carolina. good morning, tom. >> reporter: amy, good morning it's a commanding lead and the other candidates are running out of time to catch trump. donald trump has had a war of words with his rivals, hillary clinton and are bernie sanders but now the president is personally getting involved. >> i continue to believe mr. trump will not be president. and the reason is because i have a lot of faith in the american people. >> reporter: president barack obama doubling down on his prediction that the world will

>> come on. saying trump's skills won't help him in the white house. >> it's not hosting a talk show or a reality show. it's not promotion. it's not marketing. it's hard. and a lot of people count on us getting it right. >> reporter: trump firing back a direct message. >> you're lucky i didn't run last time when romney ran because you would have been a one-term president. >> reporter: but the president's criticisms sound a lot like what the other gop candidates are saying. >> when radical islamic terrorists wage jihad on the united states of america, the answer is not to tweet insults at them. >> reporter: do you think donald trump is somebody you would feel safe with protecting our country. >> well, i don't think donald has shown yet an understanding of our national security situation. he hasn't really exhibited any sort of in-depth knowledge about the issues confronting the country. >> reporter: and jeb bush saying trump's shots at his brother's administration over 9/11 is nonsense.

i don't care what donald trump says. the guy is a complete loser with his statements about this. >> reporter: and the jeb bush campaign making a different type of statement on twitter tweeting the word "america" with this image of a new gun, bush's name etched on the barrel. but the campaign may have fired too fast. jeb apparently unaware of the tweet explaining the gun was a gift. >> the purpose was we went to a gun manufacturing facility where lots of jobs are created, high wage jobs and i received a gun and i was honored to have it. >> reporter: now trump's criticisms of president bush may have actual cost him votes here. south carolina's governor very popular with republicans is expected to make an ens dozerment before the primary but is definitely not going to endorse trump. why? she says it's embarrassing that someone would attack president bush on one of the worst days in american history. >> a lot of eyes on her with three days to go.

and the race is a dead heat. clinton, 48%, sanders, 47% and cecilia vega is here with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. those numbers show exactly what the clinton campaign is worried about, the race in nevada is neck and neck but so is that battle for black and latino voters as bernie sanders tries to gain ground, clinton is fighting back hard. let the courting begin. >> thank you, morehouse. >> reporter: overnight bernie sanders at a historically black atlanta college trying to make the case. >> together we are going to end the horrors of unarmed african-americans being shot and killed by police officers. >> reporter: and in south carolina, hoping to close the gap. >> when we talk about inequality, it goes without saying that the african-american

more. >> reporter: with the palmetto state's democratic primary on the horizon this morning they're waging a heated battle for the same prize, the african-american vote. clinton on tuesday meeting with civil rights leaders including al sharpton. >> i'm looking forward to the conversation. >> reporter: then heading to harlem talking race relations and launching an all-out assault on republicans. clinton implying racism is behind the threat to block president obama's supreme court nomination. coded racial language about takers and losers. they demonize president obama and encourage the ugliest impulses of the paranoid fringe. this kind of hatred and bigotry has no place in our politics or our country. >> reporter: a sweeping speech that was nearly unraveled by a coughing fit lasting more than

>> too much to say. get through that speech. her on but here's what's at stake. the black vote is expected to make up more than half of the electorate in south carolina, george. hard. >> cecilia, thanks very much. let's talk about it with matthew mary katharine ham. matt, the democrats, nevada a dead heat. a few months ago hillary clinton had a 20-point lead and shows bernie sanders is starting to cut into her advantage on minority voters. >> she is keeping on moving the fire wall down the calendar. i think right now her argument predominantly white rural well, you're going to nevada which is a predominantly urbanized state. with a large latino population and african-american population. i think if she loses nevada, south carolina closes probably still difficult for bernie sanders but the dynamics of the

bernie sanders wins. >> it will go on for a long time. on the republican side mary kathryn, you have him holding on to that big lead. in south carolina. what would it mean if after basically declaring war on the leaders donald trump wins in south carolina which traditionally goes with the winner of the nomination. >> i think it doesn't mean the end of the race certainly. he as you see with all of his polling he remains strong and support remains strong even when he makes mistakes but i think if cruz and rubio as we see in polling can finish a strong second and make an argument we will have the three-man race many thought we would have coming out of new hampshire and that may focus people. >> that would mean jeb bush would drop out. but matthew, dowd at the same time you have all these republican leaders even after he attacks president bush saying they will support trump if he is the nominee. >> i think they'll be in a difficult spot. i think if he wins south carolina and it becomes a three-man race that's good for donald trump because i think

bottom is 35%. he wins nevada next, he goes into march 1st and probably wins most of the states on march 1st. how do you stop donald trump once he wins south carolina? >> that will be the question. thank you both. now to the battle over the supreme court, the late justice antonin scalia's seat draped in black as republicans plan to block president obama's plans to fill that spot. the president pushing back hard saying he will nominate someone and mary bruce has the latest. >> i intend to do my job between now and january 20th of 2017 and expect them to do their job, as well. >> reporter: president obama is doubling down saying the supreme court is no place for political games and dispelling rumors about who he'll pick. >> you shouldn't assume anything about the qualifications of the nominee other than they're going to be well qualified. >> reporter: but republicans insist they will block his nominee to replace justice antonin scalia no matter what. >> it is not fair to appoint for a president in their last year

a lifetime position. >> reporter: in a sign at what's at stake the powerful chairman of the senate judiciary committee hasn't ruled it out. >> i would wait until the nominee is made before i would make any decisions, in other words, take it a step at a time. >> reporter: both sides digging in their heels as the nation mourns the loss of a conservative legal giant. on friday, scalia's body will lie in repose, a public viewing in the great hall of the supreme court. not far from where he sat during his 30 years on the bench. that chair now cloaked in black. now, as for the funeral friends and family will gather saturday at the washington basilica. the burial, however, will be private. george. >> okay, mary, thanks very much. we move on to that extreme weather all over the country. record heat in the west is heading east where the big thaw and heavy rain is melting snow as tornadoes tear through the south. rob is tracking it all. >> hey, george, good morning. what a wide-reaching dynamic storm this was as it wrestled

almost 200 storm reports and yesterday from new york all the way down to naples with florida bearing the brunt. wicked winds, torrential rains, and tornadoes ripping through the south. three tornadoes touching down in south florida. this twister tossing debris as drivers try to navigate the flying projectiles. some flooring it just to get out of the way. you can hear this car take a direct hit. >> oh, [ bleep ]. >> reporter: winds reaching up to 100 miles per hour. surveillance cameras capturing trees being tossed as the storm moves through. winds ripping the roof right off this tractor trailer then tossing it on its side in the middle of interstate 95. >> it was like the "twister" movie. >> reporter: a power line snapping and igniting a fire in this neighborhood. storms from southern florida all the way up the east coast.

miles per hour knocking this semi to its side and nearly off this heavily traveled bridge. and the back side of this system across western new york, 18 inches of snow in rochester, a record. the next storm coming into the northwest, this will hit the entire west coast with rain, wind and mountain snow. they could use the rain in southern california. they're not going to get a whole lot. more on this later. michael, back over to you. >> when you talk about snow i don't think this is what any of us had in mind. new video from a ski resort in canada. the young boy, he was reaching for his pole when he fell. he's dangling from the chair lift. now, the operator of the chair lift is very smart, quickly stopped the lift, grabbed a tarp. got some volunteers and watch what happens. hang in there, young man. let everybody get ready for you and on the count of three, go. they caught him. >> that was quick thinking. >> very quick thinking. >> very good volunteers. >> yes. >> he wasn't injured. walked away unscathed. >> he wasn't moving at all until they got him --

vantage point. >> we don't have the audio. >> doesn't everybody have that fear. >> don't want to look down. >> i will need a bigger tarp for me. >> a lot more volunteers. >> yes. a lot more volunteers. >> from skiing to dogs, i don't know about the transition but work with me here. best in show, c.j., the german shorthaired pointer beat out all of the competition for the prize trophy at the westminster dog show. he is with us live just ahead. first though jesse palmer with a look at the highlights and a few rough spots. >> i don't know how these judges do it. there are so many beautiful dogs, it is so hard to choose the top dog but in the end there >> may we have the sporting group in the ring, please? >> reporter: the dog eat dog competition coming to an end. c.j. the german shorthaired pointer from the sporting group fetching the coveted title.

shorthaired pointer. >> the german shorthaired pointer, c.j. >> reporter: over 3,000 pups from seven groups across the nation chasing the dream but only one could become best in show. >> he knows what he's supposed to do. this is the show to win and i've dreamt about it since i was 10 years old. >> reporter: c.j. is the third german shorthaired pointer to become best in show at westminster. but it wasn't a walk in the park. this year's fierce competitors proving to be a ruff crowd. among the seven finalist, rumor the german shepherd, lucy, a borzoi, bogey, a samoyed, charlie, a skye terrier, panda, the shih tzu and annabelle the bulldog, but c.j. took the title of top dog. this german shepherd, a crowd favorite and while she didn't win, rumor certainly has it. >> a great attitude. that's kind of like the icing on the cake. she's a showing machine. she loves it.

like khloe may not have taken home the gold but they just took it off. after all, many dogs dream and drool at the idea of becoming best in show. but only one can snatch the title. >> he has major "it" factor. >> and the last german shorthaired pointer to win best in show at westminster was actually c.j.'s grandmother carly back in 2005 so great gene, of course, and c.j. will join us later in the show. >> exciting. >> runs in the family. >> almost looking into the soul of the dog. he looks in the dog and sees what the dog was originally bred for. it's just a feeling. >> c.j.'s got it. >> looking forward to that. >> c.j. has a superstition before he runs around he bows and sneezes. >> well, it worked for him. >> i do that too. >> rob, i know you don't do that before your weathercast. >> dog sleds out here. i-70 is closed and detour around

here's what we were thinking. what if we did for mortgages what the internet did for buying music and plane tickets and shoes? you would turn an intimidating process into an easy one. you could get a mortgage on your phone. and if it could be that easy, wouldn't more people buy homes? and wouldn't those buyers need to fill their homes with lamps and blenders and sectional couches with hand-lathed wooden legs? and wouldn't that mean all sorts of wooden leg-making opportunities for wooden leg makers? and wouldn't those new leg makers own phones from which they could quickly and easily secure mortgages of their own, further stoking demand for necessary household goods as our tidal wave of ownership floods the country with new homeowners, who now must own other things and isn't that the power of america itself now shrunk to fit the hands of a child,

to pass himself off as a physician for months. investigative reporters at our west palm beach affiliate wpbf-25 have been following him and sat him down for an interview and admits a year ago he was the same teenager police detained at a local hospital after a gynecologist found him in an exam room wearing a hospital lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck. >> i didn't snatch out a baby. i didn't do any of that. >> reporter: police say he liked to call himself dr. love and say he fooled his victims with this elaborate website and this glowing bio where he calls himself a well-rounded professional who uses psychotherapy, electrotherapy and a long list of other techniques to heal patients. in early january he held a grand opening for this medical clinic, that's where police sent an undercover cop posing as a patient when he started giving her a physical exam she put him in handcuffs. >> how do you feel now all the people that believed in you though thought you knew what you

>> i'm hurt because of the accusations and allegations but this is not the first time where i've been accused and i will pursue this. steve osunsami, abc, atlanta. >> interesting to see his defense. >> yes, it will be. to the latest on peek boo street preparing a trial and facing domestic violence for throwing her 76-year-old father during a fight. she is claiming self defense. story. >> reporter: this morning the case against olympic gold medalist picabo street is heading to trial. the former queen of skiing is charged with assault and domestic violence accused of down her basement stairs and locking him in. >> so did he fall down the stairs. >> reporter: street sat quietly in a utah court her attorney rejecting a plea deal in favor

street will claim self-defense. >> my father just started attacking me in my own house in front of my children. >> reporter: picabo street is not only a former champion skier, she is a current champion care of three kids all on her own and takes care of her elderly parents all on her own as her dad's condition is slipping and deteriorating. >> reporter: prosecutors say street was the primary aggressor in a december fight. >> you attacked him. me. he scratched me on my face. >> reporter: that began when they are father accidentally bumped his car into her house. >> i'm a great fan of picabo street however the evidence would come in. we would not have charged if we didn't think we had a basis to do so. >> reporter: the 44-year-old mother of three sportscaster and pitch woman. >> wait. >> reporter: is free on bail this morning, her trial set to begin in may. for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, denver. >> all right, and dan is here to talk more about this case.

picabo made the 911 call. now she's charged with a crime. >> right, and so it seems what the authorities did is they went in and interviewed eyewitnesses. that's got to be one of the critical factors. the fact that the mother, her mother was there. it seems that the kids were present and then you've got the two people involved. you interview all of them. you look at the injuries involved and clearly the authorities determined that they believed that she was the aggressor. >> now, she's facing a misdemeanor, but are you surprised she's willing to take this to trial? >> right. >> all the publicity. >> her lawyer seems to be suggesting she was offered a plea which basically would have wiped out her record, no jail time, nothing, she rejected it because she wanted to go to trial. i think that her defense is going to have to be her own testimony. meaning she's going to have to get up on the witness stand and say, here's what happened. here's why it happened and, remember, all she has to do is

it doesn't mean that a judge or jury has to necessarily say she's right. when you're charged with a crime all she's got to do is be able to convince the judge or jury that there are questions about what happened here and this is one of those situations where she may be able to do just that. >> all right, what is she facing if convicted. >> months not years. we have that terrifying rescue caught on camera. a father pulling his son from a tree well.

six feet at least. a safety video put out by the northwest avalanche institute shows just how paralyzing it can be. a staggering 90% of skiers who fall in tree wells fail to get themselves out without help. accounting for 20% of all ski fatalities. in this dramatic video posted on live leak in 2012 a snowboarder is buried while his friend's camera rolls. once he's partially dug out you can see how helpless and contorted he was. legs and arm above him like cement. >> if you hit the tree you can knock a lot of the snow on the tree off. >> reporter: if you fall in try to keep a hand in front of your face to clear a place to breathe, hug the tree if possible and using as leverage to push yourself out and finally and most importantly, always ski with a buddy and keep each other in sight.

>> my throat hurts right now. i was trying so hard to get snow away from my face and it just kept coming down. >> you might hear somebody who is in a well but it doesn't really touch home until you actually have someone that you know or someone, well, like a loved one fall in. >> reporter: for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, snoqualmie pass, washington. >> a real danger. i'm so glad we showed that. another tip, stay on those -- the green circles. those are always -- >> bunny hills. >> thank you, neal. coming up on "good morning america," ultimate fighter ronda rousey's startling revelation about what happened after her last loss. and then up next best in show dog, c.j. is here live only on "gma." >> temecula, california, it's c.j.ates. yeah?

and win here. it's like what we strive for. >> i notice c.j. has a little routine before like -- football players have a superstition and things they do before they compete. c.j. has one of his own. >> absolutely, he generally most of the time he'll usually sneeze. >> that's his before you show he sneezes. >> shakes it out. >> now, i'm just curious, c.j., i have a treat for you here, but after c.j. wins, is there like a treat? is there a steak in order? >> something like that today, yeah, definitely. >> his eyes lit up when i grabbed the cheese. it kind of looked like me. and now we know that you -- i was watching you show c.j. and that is like a workout and i was curious when c.j. is not being shown, is he like a regular dog around the house. >> he's a regular house dog. he has -- we have a few other house dogs that he runs and plays with. we have three acres and he rips around the property with them. >> i heard you have a cat, as well, that c.j. loves. >> he loves tootsie.

we'll be right back, everybody. i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding.

call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. there are 16 fresh-picked oranges squeezed into each bottle of tropicana pure premium. and absolutely no space for added sugar, water, or preservatives. tropicana.

we want to get to that big headline about ultimate fighter ronda rousey, the superstar athlete making a powerful confession admitting that when she lost that championship fight back in november, she considered taking her life. abc's linsey davis is here with her story. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, guys. rousey was the ufc champion until that moment in november when she was knocked out after a devastating kick in the head from holly holm. rousey said she was so devastated she sat in the hospital afterward and questioned what am i anymore if i'm not this? >> ronda rousey. >> reporter: she is a powerhouse athlete and a stunning cover model for "sports illustrated." mixed martial arts superstar ronda rousey is seemingly able to do it all. >> she's unbelievable. >> reporter: but now she's speaking out for the first time on camera since her shocking defeat to holly holm in november. >> holly holm is the new ufc bantamweight champion.

to ellen degeneres tuesday that she had suicidal thoughts following her devastating loss. >> and i was literally sitting there and like thinking about killing myself and in that exact second i'm nothing. i'm like, what do i do anymore? >> reporter: rousey whose father committed suicide when she was just 8 years old credits her boyfriend of almost a year, ufc travis brown for picking her back up. >> i looked up and i saw my man, travis, was standing there and i looked up at him and i was just like, i need to have his babies. i need to stay alive. >> ronda said travis reminds her of her father because he is a protector. >> reporter: espn's ramona shelburne who spoke with rousey ten days after the hit said it was the lowest point of her life. >> she was trying to process it and it really did feel like the life she had been leading was over, and i think that's what she was trying to say there. >> reporter: the 29-year-old now admits she was burnt out after competing in her third title fight in nine months and while

for now, she says she has big plans for the future. >> i really do believe i'm still undefeated because being defeated is a choice. everybody has losses in their life, but i choose to always be undefeated. >> reporter: ufc champion holly holm reacted to rousey's agony saying when you lose at something you pour your heart and soul into, it's a terrible feeling. holm is scheduled to defend her title march 5th and rousey is then expected to fight the winner of that fight likely in november. rousey says she wants to beat holm to, quote, make everything right again. amy. >> all right, linsey, thanks so much. and joining us now, psychiatrist dr. janet taylor. and, janet, you could see the emotion of ronda in that moment. what do you think the impact is for those watching to hear her reveal that very dark moment? >> well, it's powerful because you have a champion who is expressing her vulnerability. i mean, everyone has a loss at some point in their lives but for her she had an extreme reaction because she said she

like the loss challenged her sense of purpose. >> and this is not something we hear many people admit. why is it so hard for so many of us to be open about those moments? >> well, it's stigma, and so often still in society there's a stigma against people who express extreme unhappiness or are suicidal or have a mental disorder or mental illness and there's a difference. the power is she's expressing it and she's saying she can work on it. and people need to know that almost 50% of americans have a mental disorder, not mental illness, which means you can be diagnosed with something so the point is if you're feeling something overwhelming and you feel like you want to hurt yourself or you feel extremely sad, talk to somebody about it because if ronda rousey can say it, anyone can. >> right, because you can have that situational moment, as well, that strong emotion. it was interesting, ronda said when she felt that darkness, she looked up and saw her boyfriend, and that pulled her out of it. how important is it to have someone, anyone there with you

it was a moment. it was a suicidal thought. if someone is actually suicidal with a plan, that's an emergency. having a sense of support is extremely important. if you have a religious affiliation, to talk to someone. and the key thing is to understand that you don't have to resolve it on your own. if you're a family member and you hear someone who is suicidal, get help. >> because a lot of people are in those moments and part of the reason why they feel so down, so sad, so suicidal is because they're alone. who then do you reach out to? >> well, you have to break the silence. talk to your health care provider. if you're employed look for employ assistance or if you're a student, there are guidance counselors at universities and educate yourself about moods and find a reputable source like the national institute of mental health or the mayo clinic to identify what different mood swings can mean and get help for yourself. >> and to know you are not alone. there is help. >> no, we have to break the silence and the stigma about what it means to have extreme mood swings. >> all right. dr. janet taylor, as always, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> lara, over to you.

last four. he never won and they would say, don't worry, maybe next year so naturally all eyes were on the beaming couple. they are not only not ed's parents but nobody knows who they are. >> but they're great actors. >> i believed them. >> george is right. the guy is like -- just keep smiling and wave. can't tell the difference. >> stole the seats. >> i'm sure ed was probably going -- so, for the record we do have a picture. these are ed's parents. cbs says it was just a simple mistake. it's a live show. we all get it. ed, by the way, is celebrating his birthday today so happy birthday from your real parents, your fake parents and all of us at "gma." >> great. also in "pop news" this morning, a new study proving millennials do the most whining, jesse, when compared to any other age group but not in the way you might think. the nonprofit wine market council has uncorked a new study

the growing ranks of blended families from tom brady and gisele hanging with his ex bridget moynahan to will and jada smith hanging with his ex. >> you want them to have a safe haven, whether with one parent or the other, and their health, well-being and self-esteem stay intact as much as possible at all times. >> reporter: though heidi admits it hasn't always been smooth sailing, they're all committed to making it work. >> i'm not telling everyone that they need to be best friends. but i do think that so much positive can come when you're just kind to somebody else. >> oh, pull. >> reporter: for "good morning america," juju chang, abc news, new york. >> they're doing a great job. >> thank you, juju. now, let's go outside to rob. >> all right, anthony, we got you covered. we got a lot of "blackish" fans out here. look at you all bundled up from tacoma, washington. >> that's right. >> you're ready for the cold. >> i am. >> getting a little rain back in the pacific northwest. we got some warm-up happening

yeah, let's hear it for spring, 66 degrees in denver today. look at that, temps in the 70s in dallas, 60 in atlanta and into the 50s in chicago. that's going to feel nice. today, though, drier and breezy across the northeast. >> hey, we got this weather report brought to you by voya financial. we've got a return customer. you were here yesterday with your coffee half decaf. where is your coffee today? >> i already drank it. >> oh, yeah, so you're all fired up. you're ready to get going. looking good. go packers, next year. gunny says good morning, america. who is gunny? >> a service dog friend of ours. >> veterans. >> yeah. >> beautiful dog. i bet he would be good for best in show.

back inside to you. >> thank you, rob. we are now going to get to the ultimate laundry challenge. of course, more men than ever are taking over laundry duties. but how much do they really know about wash, dry and folding? "blackish" star anthony anderson and jesse are about to show us and this is our first ever suds and studs laundry showdown. definitely not the last. >> i'm the stud, jesse, just so you know that. >> consumer expert lisa lee freeman is here to help us get through this, i pray. my question to you, this is real. men are really taking over laundry duty? >> absolutely. a new survey published in "the wall street journal" showed two-thirds of men between 18 and 34 say they're the laundry meister in their family. >> are you the laundry meister in your household? >> i'm the only laundry meister in my household. >> i think more men are because the women don't want to wash those drawers anymore. >> okay, then. anthony, are you ready?

>> let's do it. >> we need you guys to take a look at this shirt. >> uh-huh. >> can you hold up the shirt and then hold up the paddle that shows the cycle you think it should be washed in. take note, it's dark and, note, white and blue. should we wash in cold water with dark clothes, should we wash in hot water with dark should we wash hot water with white clothes? >> it should be with whites, cold water. you say darks, cold water and the answer is -- >> hey, look, jesse. the dark is always -- oh, boy -- forgot where i was. >> i believe that we have one for the stud. >> yeah, you definitely want to wash anything with stripes or colors in dark, dark on cold and you might even want to wash it for the first few times by itself so it doesn't bleed. >> if you put it in hot water, can't it potentially shrink it? >> also the colors will bleed, jesse.

>> he's done this before. >> it's suggesting one of you got it right because most men don't get it right. >> of course, anthony got it >> the study shows men aren't good at cycle collection or sorting. to a good start. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> this category, this category >> oh. >> there are new detergents out there that are so -- that are supposed to smell more manly. please smell the yellow and blue shirts. hold up the one washed in the new men's detergent. feel free to consult yourself. >> the yellow one smells like it was worn at the club. it's got like cologne, maybe some -- >> this is the shirt george and i wore last night in the streets so i know what it was washed with. >> oh, boy. >> so, which one was washed and which one had cologne on it? >> i think this is one that was washed. >> this is the one right here. this is the --

cologne on it? >> one of them has cologne on it. one was washed in manly detergent. >> the one that has been washed is the yellow one. >> ha, ha, ha. that's what the game we were playing. >> well, the crazy thing is -- >> you said manly scent. i said george and i were wearing it. this is a manly scent. >> you're right, and that's a new manly detergent. >> yeah, that's right. laundry detergent manufacturers are making detergents just for you guys so you don't even have to put cologne on. you can just pick a detergent. >> look at jesse. >> it smells like club live in miami. >> finally, this is the folding challenge. >> finally? i may give this to you because you're down 0-2 right now. >> do i get three points if i win this? >> no, you can't win, but you >> you really are motivating me. >> 15 -- okay, you can win. we want to see who can fold the most laundry in those 15 seconds with your folding board. >> no cheating. hey, hey, hey. >> and begin. >> come on.

>> uno. >> so, most men are not so good at this. >> folding. >> the problem is you have to unfold the clothes first. >> anthony, you're breaking the rules here. >> when we come back, we'll crown anthony the winner. sorry, jesse. >> he's doing it with his hands. i thought you were supposed to use the folder. >> this is what i think about this. i fold my own clothes. look at this. look at this. look at that. i don't even know what color that is but look how it's folded. >> folding boards are a lovely thing. >> i wish i could. >> you don't need to use one. you went freestyle which we totally appreciate it. >> i should win by disqualification then. >> okay, there you go, jesse. technicality. it's still not a tie, jess. when we come back, more fun with "blackish" stars anthony and tracee ellis ross and we will crown anthony the winner of the golden iron.

your whites on hot. i beg of you, you have to let me tell her. i will pay you -- >> sure, i ain't going to tell her. the floor's yours. let's do it.

>> not now. i'm trying to immortalize my son for buying me this luxury vehicle in time for the 32nd anniversary of marvin gaye's death. oh, we are going to break the internet. hey, hey. >> my god, it just keeps getting better. >> mama, this car is for zoe. >> huh? >> uh-oh. sneak peek at tonight's back with anthony anderson and tracee ellis ross. that looks like a fun one tonight. >> all of them are fun. >> yeah, i love watching them. it's like going through your family album. >> it's really fun trying to remember what each of those are from. >> it brings us back, as well. i think you all came on the show the day before the first episode. >> yeah. >> we could tell the minute you were on here that it was something special. but what's it been like for you guys? >> it's been a joyous experience. actually especially to get into season two and have a chance to kind of really let go and be these characters and find it in a different way. we're such a family now that it's been really exciting and watching the kids grow up in

>> it's got to be, and i got to tell you for us to watch it with our families is so great because we have this mix of laughing, relating to these situations but you're also tackling some really tough issues. >> yeah, yeah, we are. you know, we pride ourselves on being topical and timely with the issues that we deal with, not only what's going on in the community at large but also what's going on in our personal lives. this is what you see on the screen every day, stories from real, true-life stories from our lives. >> so, when you get something, i know one of the upcoming episodes will take on police brutality. how do you balance out the serious and funny? >> we have an amazing group of writers led by kenya barris, our creator -- not our creator but the creator of our show that really has -- >> my creator kenya. >> god does very well -- >> thank you, kenya. >> no, but the writers really do

deal with these really heavy issues and hot topic issues and find a way to have laughter where we're not making fun of those issues and i think -- >> that's the hardest thing to do. >> it's really hard, and they balance it beautifully. i think it's a lot that they really work through the characters and the point of view of these characters as opposed to trying to do funny situations. >> agreed. >> so you can kind of do anything because, you know, the characters are well developed. >> and you guys knew each other before. >> we did. >> she hated me. >> i did. >> is that true? >> yes, it is. >> oh, my, yes, she did. >> i did, but it's all gone and recently, recently we had a situation at work, and anthony goes, oh, my god, you still hate me, and i was like, no, no. >> tracee, tell them what you did. >> do you want to know what i did? >> of course, i do. >> we had a kissing scene and i was tired. we were working a 16-hour day in the last hour of the 16-hour day at the end of a week and we started the kiss and somehow i don't know what happened but i thought that he was inappropriate in his kiss so -- >> i was not.

>> i was not. >> he was absolutely not but apparently because i don't remember it, i did a one, two, three punch really hard -- >> straight to my heart. >> to the point that -- i've never punched a human being and when it hit, i was like, wow, that's a neat sound, it went boing. >> one, two, three. you never punched anyone before but you punched him. >> i did a boom, boom, boom and the next day i was sore under my arm. >> and a growl and called me the mf. >> i think she's still angry at you. >> well, something happened. i don't -- anthony, it's over. >> no, it's not. >> this is over, unfortunately. but "blackish" is on tonight at

up next, all right. we're here now with jennifer jason leigh. she is up for an oscar for "the hateful eight" where she plays a fugitive who's brought to

russell. take a look at this clip. samuel jackson explaining just what that means. take a look. >> when john ruth, the hangman catches you, you got no bullet in the back, huh-uh. when the hangman catches you, you hang. >> you overrate him. i give you he got guts but in the brains department, he like a man who took a high dive in a low well. >> because it's morning television, we're not going to show what happens next but i saw last night. how did you feel with all that gore on your face as you were acting? you had a lot of blood on your face. that had to be an interesting -- >> well, the blood is very, very sticky and -- >> but you liked it. right? it was fun for you, i read. >> i loved making the movie so much. i actually had just the best time, and it was freezing. the set was 30 degrees.

>> well, it all paid off. congratulations on your nomination for an oscar for best supporting actress and you -- you say this all happened for you at a time when you were considering kind of just giving up on the whole acting thing. >> it's not -- i mean, i wouldn't say giving up but i just felt like i had had a really nice run, you know. and been very fortunate and, i don't know, that maybe i was looking to do other things in a way. >> well, not yet, not so fast because now you're up for that oscar. also you're a part of this film, "anomalisa" which is up for best animated feature, so two nominations there which has got to feel really great. that had to be a big surprise. where were you when the nominations came out? i heard you were sleeping. >> yes, i was sleeping and my phone was off, so i woke up and i had all these texts and all these messages from my friends and, you know, from a lot of the haters from "the hateful

>> oyh, the haters, good haters. i was concerned for a second but that's what you call your cast >> we call each other the so it was a really -- just very surprising and sweet and happy >> a really nice wake-up call. >> really nice wake-up call. >> probably one of the best. and you mentioned this, you said working on "the hateful eight" was your favorite working experience. why? >> tarantino is a master, and he also has so much enthusiasm, and he loves filmmaking in a way that's just impossible to describe honestly. >> and you wear a prosthetic nose in this film. i understand your son did not love that. did it freak him out a little? >> he really didn't like coming -- that would be the question. like is the nose on or off, whether he would like want to come to set or not. >> whether or not he would give you a hug that day. >> no kissing when the nose was on. >> well, jennifer jason leigh, phenomenal performance. >> thank you. >> we will be watching and crossing our fingers for you
