7:03 am
>> are you from mexico? are you from mexico? right smack in the middle of my punch line. >> reporter: this just one day after trump dodged a question about getting support from david duke, a former kkk grand wizard. >> honestly i don't know david duke. i don't believe i've ever met him. >> reporter: but trump had disavowed duke in the past. >> i disavow, okay. >> reporter: trump now trying to fend off attacks from all sides. senator marco rubio nearly losing his voice campaigning hard hitting trump even harder. >> and we are not going to allow a con artist to take control of the party of lincoln and reagan. >> reporter: and senator ted cruz looking for a big hometown victory in texas. >> super tuesday i believe is going to play an important part helping winnow the field and taking us more and more towards a two-man race. >> reporter: someone who plans on being there till the end, melania trump. >> i follow it from "a" to "z" and i know exactly what's going on.
7:04 am
race is getting nasty but she has thick skin and that her husband's late-night tweeting doesn't bother her. >> he's an adult. he knows the consequences. >> reporter: now melania says she doesn't always agree with her husband especially when it come to his language. george. >> tom, thanks. let's bring it to donald trump right now, joining us by phone. that cnn interview continues to make waves. you have seen that tweet from mitt romney, he called your response disqualifying and disgusting. your response? >> well, first of all, mitt romney is a failed candidate, should have won the race and he failed miserably. he was a terrible candidate for the republicans. secondly, david duke was disavowed. i disavowed him on friday. i disavowed him right after that because i thought if there was any question and you take a look at twitter, almost immediately after, on twitter and facebook, they were disavowed again. i disavowed him every time i speak to somebody virtually and they just keep it going. they keep it going and they said, oh, we never looked at
7:05 am
we never looked at facebook. i said take a look at facebook. it was totally disavowed. >> so, are you prepared right now to make a clear and unequivocal statement renouncing the support of all white supremacists? >> of course, i am. of course, i am. there's nobody that's done so much for equality as i have. you take a look at palm beach florida, i built a club, totally open to everybody, a club that frankly sets a new standard in clubs and a new standard in palm beach and i've gotten great credit for it. that is totally open to everybody. so, of course, i am. >> how worried are you that you may split the party as you're doing better and better in the primaries, you have more and more republican voices say they won't support you and you have that #nevertrump right now. prominent republicans like j.c. watts, mel martinez, the senator ben sass. are you worried you may make it harder to defeat the democrats in november? >> no, i think it's just the opposite. i've had tremendous calls from
7:06 am
and nonestablishment people and the party is going to get bigger. if you look at any one of the primaries that i won, whether you go to new hampshire or south carolina or nevada, you take a look. look at how many people have come out. we're just absolutely the numbers that double and triple in some cases what they had four years ago, we're getting democrats coming in. we're getting independents coming in. we're getting a lot of people coming in and i will tell you as you know, i know the democrats very well also. they are very worried about it. we have tremendous numbers of people coming in and the republican party is growing larger and if it didn't it has no chance. it'll be like mitt romney four years ago, it has no chance of winning. we're getting people into the party that never had before. >> let me just interrupt you right there. that brand-new cnn poll shows hillary clinton defeating you relatively handily by eight points but losing to marco rubio and ted cruz. >> well, they're not going to get the nomination. i haven't even focused on hillary clinton yet and i can tell you the one person that
7:07 am
run against is me and i have that on good knowledge. we have not focused -- i had one little skirmish with hillary three weeks ago and you saw what happened with that. i will defeat hillary and we're going to take a lot of democrats and a lot of independents away and we're going to possibly win places like michigan, new york, states that are not even in consideration and, by the way, these aren't things that have been taken advantage of in the poll. i will beat hillary clinton much more easily than anybody else. >> "the new york times" had a look inside the democrats' playbook this morning. it says the plan they're going to run against you has three major fronts. portray you as a heartless businessman, broadcast the degrading comments you made against women and highlight your brash and explosive temper. how will you respond? >> well, we'll respond the way we have to respond. look, we're going to make america great again. our country has gotten soft and weak. we're being taken advantage of by everybody, george, if you look at china, if you look at japan, if you look at mexico, if
7:08 am
lose. we've become -- we've become a debtor nation. we owe $19 trillion. we are going to make america great again. that's what my whole campaign is. we're going to make great deals and we're going to strengthen the military and take care of our vets. we'll do it right, george. >> mr. trump, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. and, george, as you know super tuesday just as critical for the democratic race. hillary clinton and bernie sanders battling for crucial votes across the country. clinton looking for a sweep down south. abc's cecilia vega is in arlington, virginia, with the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning to you. just me and a few friends hanging out this morning, right? [ cheers and applause ] we're at a diner here, some of these people have voted. most have promised me they're heading to the polls right after this. we got a pretty mixed group and this is the most important day of this primary so far. this morning, hillary clinton hopeful that a southern rout leads to a super tuesday win. >> it is great being here with
7:09 am
>> reporter: clinton swinging through this swing state feeling confident. tuesday prediction? >> just happy to be in virginia. working hard for every vote. every single vote. >> reporter: in the final hours taking on one opponent after the next. >> america is and always has been great. [ cheers and applause ] what we need to do together is >> reporter: her husband piling on too. is build a lot of walls. she said, no, we don't. what we need to do is tear down barriers and build ladders of opportunity that everybody can climb. >> reporter: sanders hoping a northern push is his path to victory. >> your state led the american revolution. [ cheers and applause ] and now it's time for
7:10 am
political revolution! [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: taking on not just hillary but his rival across the aisle. >> bing, bing, bing. >> reporter: who he hopes to survive long enough to face come november. >> we will defeat donald trump because we know that love trumps hatred. >> reporter: bernie sanders has raised some serious cash, more than $42 million in february alone. for perspective that was more than hillary clinton raised in the entire month of january, more than marco rubio has raised so far this entire election, robin. a couple of bernie sanders supporters here in the crowd with me this morning. >> we have some out in times square, as well. after all the ads, all the rallies, there's still a lot of undecided voters out there, right, cecilia? >> reporter: there are, robin, about 30% nationally and a number of people here in this diner with me this morning are undecided, including this entire table right here.
7:11 am
you were telling me you're split between two candidates right now, who are they? >> hillary clinton and john kasich. >> reporter: two different parties. that shows you what we're looking at today. >> this is interesting. we have asked this question in the last few weeks and every time we ask an undecided voter those are the two names that come up like that. it's interesting. all right, cecilia, thank you very much. george. >> i'm here with our political team -- matthew dowd, donna brazile and jon karl. a lot to talk about. you'll be here tonight as well. and jon, let me begin with you. you heard donald trump confident about the nomination and said ted cruz and marco rubio not going to get it and their back is really up against the wall. >> no question. the danger for them is that tuesday. if he sweeps tonight, he goes from becoming the likely -- the front-runner to becoming the likely republican nominee. is find somewhere to beat him tonight and in the states he them, they have to keep it close delegates. >> and, of course, ted cruz still ahead in texas. we'll see how that plays out. matt dowd, you saw mr. trump republican party but the voices inside the republican party
7:12 am
some for him but many against him as well. >> well, there's a huge argument going on within the establishment should they endorse or coalesce but the real division in the party is between the leaders of the party and voters of the party. the voters are going one direction and the leaders want to go another. another thing that's interesting tonight, bernie sanders will win more states than marco rubio, ted cruz and john kasich combined tonight. >> is this threat of a third party, a conservative party, a break from the republican party real? >> i think it's real. for the last month or a month and a half ago i said plan a is not working. which was stop trump in the primary. after tonight it's certainly not working so have to go to plan b and the only thing plan b is conservative or republican party that runs not as the current gop. >> meanwhile, donna, democrats are drawing up their battle plans as well, we saw "the new york times" article laying out the case against donald trump. the first time democrats seem to be taking it seriously. how worried are they? >> look, democrats are worried about enthusiasm. they are worried about making sure that they can energize
7:13 am
there is no question that we have to focus on the fall election but right now today is a big day for hillary clinton. she has to bank on the fact that a quarter of the delegates will be people of color. beyond that, can she break into bernie's stronghold in the northeast, massachusetts, that's the key today for her. >> okay, donna brazile, jon karl, matthew dowd, we'll see you tonight. abc news will be out in force all through this super tuesday. i'll be here with our whole political team usa for a prime time special at 10:00 eastern plus special editions of "world news tonight" and "gma" tomorrow morning. >> going to be a long day for you, thank you. now, to new trouble for the "anthem of the seas" cruise ship. a powerful storm is cutting its trip short as passengers onboard blattle a norovirus outbreak. abc's gio benitez is here with the latest. here we go again, gio. >> reporter: here we go again, robin. just weeks ago the ship was tossed around like a toy in the water. the cruise line now hoping to prevent a repeat. this morning, the "anthem of the seas" is rushing back home facing yet another problem, less
7:14 am
in hurricane-force winds, royal caribbean's one-year-old cruise ship cutting its trip from the eastern caribbean two days short and heading back to new jersey, a severe storm friday. the company also revealing the crew is battling the norovirus. ten guests per day reporting symptoms. >> you actually had to walk by the medical facility to get off the boat and the medical facility was jam-packed standing people. and that's when we kind of went, whoa, this is not good. >> reporter: the company tweeting monday the norovirus cases didn't affect the decision to return. >> three people that i'm traveling with have shown some symptoms, so it's definitely going around. >> reporter: just three weeks ago the same ship was hit with massive 30-foot waves and 120-mile-per-hour winds. 4500 passengers onboard during the weather crisis. and in this latest case royal caribbean says the norovirus is affecting a small percentage of its 6,000 passengers insisting that is not why it's ending the
7:15 am
passengers are still worried. >> no doubt about that. thank you. now amy is joining us with other top stories and a legal victory for apple. >> that's right, robin. a federal judge in new york has ruled the fbi cannot force apple to unlock an iphone at the center of a drug case. the judge saying it would betray our constitutional heritage. but the ruling has no affect on apple's battle with the government over the san bernardino shooter's iphone. well, government officials are warning utility companies that the nation's power grid could be vulnerable to a sophisticated cyberattack like the one that caused a recent blackout in ukraine. u.s. investigators have now confirmed hackers compromised the system six months before that outage. the malware was so destructive operations are still not back to normal. an ohio teenager is due in court today facing attempted murder charges. investigators say the 14-year-old opened fire in the cafeteria at madison high school hitting two students, police right now are not revealing the motive.
7:16 am
tornado hitting this hardware store in louisiana last week. a fedex driver tried to take shelter inside. the door was locked so she hid behind a soda machine. it fell over. look at that. my goodness, when the tornado destroyed the entire store, incredibly she was not injured. she walked away without a scratch. and finally, an explanation for your constant craving for junk food. you're not getting enough sleep. scientific evidence now shows there is a link between lack of sleep and the munchies. it's because of a chemical in your brain which builds up when you don't get enough rest. that chemical makes your body crave rewards. for most of us that's fatty or salty foods. by the way, it is the same chemical in the brain that makes marijuana smokers get the munchies. >> that's a nice little twist. >> for your tuesday. >> munchies. you had us at munchies. >> yesterday morning. >> a typical crew in need of sleep. >> thank you, amy.
7:17 am
now. the severe weather today could affect the voting? >> that's true, pass the bacon but because of the lack of sleep. look at this. just southwest of oklahoma city. they don't call it the thunder for nothing. where hail and wind driving some severe weather there and that batch of severe weather is going to be rolling across some states that are in the hunt here as far as primary and super tuesdays. arkansas in through tennessee, alabama and northern parts of georgia, strong winds, maybe even a tornado as this front, little cluster of thunderstorms gets into more heated action. it's not quite as severe as what we saw last week but till going to be disruptive. a three-hour to five-hour period where you'll have to keep an eye on the weather if you're heading to the polls or maybe plan your day around that. meanwhile, this system getting into some snow from chicago south of -- parts of michigan. another two to, say, four inches

7:32 am
>> reporter: saying he was having money problems when he came up with a plan, record video of andrews naked in her hotel room on his cell phone through a peephole and sell it for money. >> waited until the shower was turned off. pulled the plug out and waited for the opportunity. >> reporter: barrett pleaded guilty to stalking in 2010 and was sentenced to 30 months in prison. his video has been viewed nearly 17 million times. >> i feel so ashamed. i'm so embarrassed. >> it's a nightmare that doesn't stop. >> reporter: andrews' mother paula described consoling her daughter. >> it's not your fault. you're a victim. you've been -- you've been assaulted. there was no calming her down. >> reporter: andrews admitting that her life now is far from normal saying she's filled with anxiety, grief, humiliation and horror. >> i'm so angry. this could have been stopped. the nashville marriott could have just called me.
7:33 am
wasn't the only woman michael barrett recorded in a hotel and posted at least ten more videos online. robin. >> at least ten more. eva, thank you very much. joining us now abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams here in the studio with us and from atlanta, nancy grace, host of "nancy grace" on hln. let's discuss erin's testimony. of course, she was quite emotional as you imagine. how will that play with the jury, do you think? >> well, i believe the jury is going to empathize with her. i don't believe that they're going to buy into a theory that she's some opportunist peddling a naked video as many people have thought that she was in on this. i disagree with that. there are seven women on this jury. i think that she was very genuine and the fact that her parents are there in court, i think, is a secret weapon for the plaintiff. i think that the jury will side with her and if they don't
7:34 am
believe her mother. >> well, i don't think anyone is claiming now that she was out peddling this video. i mean, that had been a concern of hers early on, people were speculating about it. >> that's right. >> no one in that courtroom is now saying that she was out there peddling the video. the question here and why her testimony is so powerful and important goes to damages, right, because she hasn't really suffered professionally. when you're talking about damages in a case like this, typically you'll see someone say, look, i haven't been able to get another job. i've lost all of these opportunities. in this case she can't argue that really because her career has continued to soar and so what she has to say is these are emotional damages. look at how much i have suffered as a result of what he did to me and that's incredibly powerful. >> and the man is behind bars that did this, the stalker. we saw him, the video, nancy, in
7:35 am
i think people thought that he walked up to the front desk and asked for her. that wasn't the case. he went to a house phone. how will his testimony -- how will that perhaps help the defense? >> well, i think that what they're trying to argue, the defense will ultimately argue is that the hotel really had nothing to do with it. that it's his fault. a criminal intervening that they wouldn't know anything about but i found his testimony via videotape -- and she left for that -- is very powerful. it shows anyone could get in. he would get in and go to a house phone and say, hey, i want to get in this room but he actually specific asked apparently to be near erin andrews. that is against all hotel protocol. >> here's the key to what may be the negligence. he goes into the restaurant, he asks for erin andrews' room. apparently her room number then shows up on the screen, he then goes up because he now knows what the room number is, sees that the room next door is being made up.
7:36 am
so, he doesn't go and say, i hey, i want to be next to erin andrews but the negligence as the case may be may be in the fact that this hotel had this system where you could literally call from the restaurant, call to ask for anyone's room and the person's room number shows up on the screen. >> archaic phone system. >> you know what else, dan, it's really interesting, he apparently was out in the hallway for almost five minutes and he unscrewed the peephole and basically held a cell phone up and looked in and being in the room next to her he could hear the shower and he knew when she was getting out of the shower naked. and that's how he pulled this thing off. >> she was the victim. the question is just going to be the damages. >> and how much. >> and who should pay. >> dan and nancy, thanks very much. i appreciate it. coming up here, johnny manziel, you see him caught on camera partying in a new video as his legal troubles pile up. and an abc news exclusive.

7:42 am
dallas police announcing they sent a misdemeanor domestic violence case against the former heisman trophy winner to prosecutors. a grand jury now expected to decide if he will face charges stemming from an altercation in january with his ex-girlfriend colleen crowley at a dallas hotel. according to her affidavit seeking an order of protection against manziel, crowley claiming an argument with the football star turned physical. manziel allegedly striking her repeatedly, crowley saying she became very scared and tried to fight him off and later telling a valet, please don't let him take me. i'm scared for my life. manziel's cleveland browns distancing themselves from the embattled quarterback expected to release him this month. new head coach hue jackson drawing a line at the recent nfl combine. >> that behavior will not be tolerated as we move forward. our organization is going to

but only if you have a brain. we are back with an abc news exclusive. "modern family" star ariel winter is opening up about the procedure that changed her life and the troubling childhood she overcame. i sat down with her and she spoke candidly about having breast reduction surgery, her legal battle with her mom and how she is moving forward.
8:12 am
i'm the smart one. >> reporter: we fell in love with her as alex dunphy. >> yes, i'll be an amazonian carnivorous fish. >> reporter: the middle sister on "modern family." >> he's beating me in words with friends, how is that possible? >> reporter: over seven seasons we've watched ariel winter grow up on screen from an 11-year-old girl to an 18-year-old woman. you were thrust into the limelight at a very young age. were you prepared for what came with that? >> i don't think anyone is prepared to be so young and having everybody's eyes on you especially now, you know, as really -- some really big moments in my life being in front of the spotlight has been pretty difficult because you have everybody's opinions and so i think it was a little shocking for me in the beginning. was from the public scrutiny, online bullying and body shaming she experienced. >> walking down the red carpet and seeing the photos afterward and having every headline be about my cleavage and not about my talent, not about what i was
8:13 am
wanted to be put out there and i thought that was really disappointing. >> reporter: and just last year she decided to undergo breast reduction surgery going from a 32f to a 32d. why did you decide ultimately to get breast reduction surgery? >> i had wanted to get a breast reduction since i developed because i was in excruciating pain and i couldn't sit up straight. it was always super uncomfortable to sleep, uncomfortable to sit, it was uncomfortable to walk and i remember breaking down in dressing rooms because i couldn't find a bathing suit because they had no top that would fit me. i just didn't feel right and i did it for myself. it was the best change i ever made in my life. >> reporter: and you wore a stunning gown to the s.a.g. awards and you were not afraid to show your scars. >> i'm not. it really astounded me when people said to put my scars away and they were gross. i think that's just so ridiculous considering they're part of me and not going away. >> scars are cool. i have them too. >> we have stories from them. >> reporter: she's hoping her experience will help other girls
8:14 am
in hollywood are no longer scrutinized for their looks. but despite her success as an actress, she said it's a path she might never have chosen. >> i think that when i was born, it was kind of already decided what i was expected to be, and so i was kind of pushed into the industry. that's not to say i don't love it and it's not my passion now. i do love it, but i don't know that if i hadn't had my own run to be able to decide what i wanted to do, if i would have. >> did you have what most people would say is a stage mom? >> she most definitely was. this is what she wanted me to do and she pushed very hard for that and kind of put that in the forefront of her mind instead of what i wanted and needed and that was definitely hard but i don't think that was the only issue. >> reporter: winter went through several years of legal battles with her mom over allegations she emotionally and physically abused her and ultimately became emancipated from her mother. do you have a relationship with your mom at this point? >> i don't.
8:15 am
years. it's really hard to have that kind of drama in your life and to be going through that court situation and have an open court case and have everybody look at it because it's already hard enough for abuse victims but it's harder in the public eye when everybody has an opinion. >> you refer to yourself as an abuse victim, what happened to you? >> well, the thing is it's really hard to talk about and the reason i haven't talked about it thus far is because it was really painful for me to watch my mom go on news outlets and go on "dr. phil" and kind of spread things everywhere when it's really just private family business, but at the end of the day i feel like for me i probably should take the high road and do something that i would have wished she would have done for me. >> reporter: and for now she's closing that chapter and doing normal 18-year-old things. she's applying to colleges with plans to become a social justice lawyer. >> i've had a lot of life experience that i think has really helped me grow into the
8:16 am
it's something that needed to happen for me to see what i needed to do in my future, and it kind of shaped what i wanted to be in my future. >> and as for ariel's relationship with her dad, she says it was, quote, turbulent in her younger years but she adds that he's been nothing but supportive and loving and she's grateful. what a wise, wonderful, open 18-year-old. she's lived a lot but you can see the wisdom she's gained. >> she seems so grounded and so talented. >> absolutely. i'm so happy for her and happy she has her dad. >> yes, and her sister too. her sister's been a huge help to her. robin, over to you. >> thank you for that. now to a health alert about the new pill promising to jump-start women's love lives, if you will. a new report is calling it a fail, and some doctors say, well, it virtually is ineffective and potentially dangerous. abc news jen ashton is here. i love it when you're here. i can just see you wanting you to weigh in. >> thank you, robin.
8:17 am
relatively new on the market, what does the report say? >> any time there is a study about women and sex you know people are going to be talking about it. this was a study that came out in jama, one of the most reputable journals that really wanted to look at all the available evidence on flibanserin or addyi, this medication. they asked did these studies use good quality methods and did the benefits outweigh the risks of this medication? that's always important. what they found benefitswise, women taking this medication every single day had 0.5 more satisfying sexual encounters per month. they had a significantly higher rate of side effects and overall the studies produced were found to be of low quality evidence. >> what about the side effects? >> this pill is not for everyone. can it help some women, yes, but side effects versus placebo or sugar pill, significant. dizziness four times greater, sleepiness, nausea, fatigue. there is an interaction with alcohol and hold on to yourself, robin, the studies looking at this medication and how it
8:18 am
>> what? >> right, right. >> okay. >> we have a lot of work to do. >> a lot of work to do. you know there are a lot of women that are watching us this morning and they are concerned about their lack of sexual desire. what are your recommendations? >> sex is an important part of well-being and health so i would say doctors need to be asking about it. if your doctor doesn't ask about it, please have the courage to bring it up and speak with your doctor about it. look for possible physical, psychological or hormonal causes and, if possible, talk to a marriage counselor or a sex therapist. these professionals are well underutilized in my opinion. >> back to this particular pill because there was a lot of hope from women and thought, okay, maybe this is it. >> right. >> what is your bottom line about this? >> this is an example of gender discrimination. we shouldn't just be talking about a treatment for female low libido almost 20 years after viagra was brought to market. so, is it a right step, yes. is it the holy grail, no.
8:19 am
women, in postmenopausal women. they deserve good sex too and i think the person who finds the cure to the low libido in women will probably win the nobel prize in medicine. >> especially and women who have gone through treatment and i hear from women all the time who have gone through various types of breast cancer treatment and other types of diseases and things like that. >> very, very important. >> well, we did hear from the maker of addyi, and they said in part, "in all three phase trials a significant increase was seen in the number of sexually satisfying events in premenopausal women." they added that the analysis omits context and downplays the importance of increased sexually satisfying events." i'm glad that we can have this kind of conversation. >> so important, robin. >> jen, thank you. >> george. >> thanks, guys. we switch to "the bachelor." ben unleashed two bombshells last night saying he's in love with not one but two women.
8:20 am
>> i'm not sure about that. that story has a lot of reaction and the woman he sent home is speaking out and kayna whitworth has the story. >> reporter: bachelor ben is bending the rules. >> i've known i'm in love with you for awhile as well. >> i love you too. >> reporter: surprising everyone with his venture in uncharted territory. >> what? >> i do. >> reporter: ben admitting to not one but two women that he's head over heels in love. >> do not tell two women at the same time you love them. it's not going to end well. >> no. >> reporter: fans watching at "the bachelor" studios in los angeles unable to contain their surprise. oh, what did we just see? everyone, everyone in this room just freaked out. >> ben just told lauren that he loves her. >> reporter: but one woman sent home heartbroken. >> i am in love with two women here. >> uh-huh. >> and i just couldn't say it back to you. >> reporter: 24-year-old caila opening up during their date in paradise. >> i'm in love with you. >> reporter: shocked when ben tells her it's over. >> it's really hard to imagine saying good-bye to you.
8:21 am
>> reporter: caila telling us about that heart-wrenching good-bye. do you have any regrets from all of this? >> i have no regrets whatsoever. i fell in love, and it really does hurt me that he didn't. but i can't help that. >> reporter: when i sat down with bachelor ben, he had big news. >> i am engaged. >> you're engaged? >> i can say that. i haven't said that in an interview yet. >> reporter: revealing to "good morning america" first he and his fiancee are happier than ever. >> you don't know how much stress and weight is to carry for so long because -- >> i'm glad you can share that with "good morning america." >> "good morning america," i am engaged, yes, finally. >> reporter: for "good morning america," kayna whitworth, abc news, los angeles. >> we just don't know to whom. >> yeah, because he's in love with two women. engaged to one. >> we'll find out. >> that equals good tv. >> "the bachelor's" tell all

8:24 am
>> i found out today you can, in fact, trademark your name. you just have to be the first one to do it. >> did not know that. >> did not know that either. >> breaking news here in "pop news." >> we remember kylie minogue, though, i mean that was like 2001. >> yeah, i know. can't get you out of my head >> thank you. >> you can't talk. i can sing this whole thing. >> this is important. will you do the next one? >> sure will. here we go. if raindrops keep falling on your head like that, you might need the oombrella. it's a brand-new umbrella that uses humidity sensors and social data to warn you of showers 30 minutes before they fall. and if you're prone to forgetting your umbrella at home in a calm before the storm, this high-tech rain repellant will send you an alert using built-in gps trackers that senses when you stray too far from your oombrella on a day when you need it, so it will be available on kickstair this month and available in stores and online in about six months. >> that's got to be one of the most useless inventions ever. everyone knows if you carry the

8:31 am
both look at each other like, that was weird and so funny to us and i just -- i can't -- you know, i got to show my face. i can't hold it in. >> were you surprised how it went viral like that so quickly? >> i immediately started -- my what have i done now? you can't tell when the camera is on. there's no red light. you have no idea so i can't believe i did it again. i still get sent the one from the globes so now i have another h year of this happening. >> that's because you're so expressive. that's what we adore about you. you don't hold back. if you feel something you just -- >> but it's so bad. i love seeing my instagrams right now though because people are turning it into all sorts of different memes. i love it. >> well, congratulations again. >> thank you, thank you so much. >> you've been so outspoken in talking about it in that -- >> too outspoken apparently. >> well, some people feel that way. you have said it's going to be a baby girl, that you wanted a baby girl. >> yes. >> some people were a little critical of that. >> i know. i think i didn't realize this is so not really talked about.
8:32 am
because everyone i know has gone through this, so i said it so casually that i didn't anticipate all the people that had never heard of such a thing before, and then it's interesting to spark conversation and get people talking about it, and we're happy with our decision, and we're proud of it and we're glad that we're living in a time we could do such a thing but, yeah, it's weird. we definitely didn't anticipate any kind of backlash from it. >> you think that john, a little baby girl. >> he deserves a baby girl. look at him. he's so -- he's so good to me obviously and he's just going to be the most doting, amazing father to a baby girl. a baby boy too. but we all know boys love their mommy, so i'll give him this time first and then next time -- >> how about we walk over here. >> yes, let's go. >> are you having -- speaking of cravings, are you having any cravings? >> now i can -- i'm just fitting whatever i can in me. basically my stomach is here. it's this big. >> so what are you going to make for us? >> this is my chipotle chicken. it's one of the very first things in my cookbook.
8:33 am
thank you, everybody. we have a team here which i love. but it's really, really easy to throw together, and it's still one of john's favorite recipes for our barbecues. make a marinade and throw brown sugar, chipotle peppers and adobo here, lime juice, a ton of garlic, like 20 cloves of garlic. yes, i love this. this is great. and then a little whiskey or whatever alcohol you have laying around, which i don't really know why i personally love the smoky whiskey flavor, but now i'm just sad that i can't have it. >> how long does -- >> throw it in a ziploc bag with the marinade. food processor and get it all nice and melded together and toss it in a ziploc and do a shaky-shake and go overnight but four hours is fine too. >> and this is the result. >> lay it down, just drizzle a little more on the top there. we're going to put it in the oven for 35 interins. >> that's okay. >> not bad at all and drizzle honey on it, which is one of my favorite things on the planet. don't drizzle too early because it will burn and caramelize.
8:34 am
>> another ten minutes and you end up with this beautiful chicken over here. do it under the broiler for a bit and it's delicious and then i love pairing it with my mango salsa. >> this looks delicious. >> it makes me feel healthy, so what i do is i just toss a little mango here, some avocado. i love this group. this is fantastic. cilantro, people are very weird about cilantro. you don't have to do it. >> okay. >> some more lime. some lime zest. >> you guys want to come over and get a bite. >> you better eat for it if you're going to be cheering for it. onion, a lot of salt. everything needs a lot of salt. toss it up. thank you, my sous chef. >> thank you. >> i love putting it with my coconut rice too. >> that's a nice complement. >> hello. >> hi. >> i'm so excited to see you guys. i've been wanting to come here forever. >> tell us about this. >> this is my sweet potato gnocchi with brown butter and sage. a little parmesan on top. this is actually being made a
