politician his tough talk about muslims amped up. >> i think islam hates us and we have to be very vigilant. we have to be very careful and we can't allow people coming into this country who have this hatred. >> reporter: trump heading into the ohio and florida primaries hoping for big wins to wrap up the race. >> you knock them out. if you knock them out nothing can happen. >> reporter: but the trump campaign also now dealing with an ugly moment from their victory party. reporter michele fields who works for the conservative news site breitbart claiming she was forcefully grabbed by trump's campaign manager after she asked a tough question, writing "someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. i almost fell to the ground but was able to maintain my balance. nonetheless, i was shaken." a "washington post" reporter confirming he saw the incident. the trump campaign yet to respond. in florida, senator marco rubio now admitting ridiculing trump for his tan and size of hands

>> my kids were embarrassed by it and i, you know, if i had to do it again i wouldn't. >> reporter: also trying to fight senator marco rubio now admitting ridiculing trump for his tan and size of hands was a mistake. >> my kids were embarrassed by it and i, you know, if i had to do it again i wouldn't. >> reporter: rubio still insisting he will win the florida primary. some polls show trump up 20 points. >> you need a miracle on tuesday. >> we just need votes and we're going to get them. >> reporter: jeb bush is meeting with all the candidates here in florida except donald trump. jeb bush was a very popular governor here but it's unclear how much his endorsement would matter since major endorsements in this race have not delivered victories. george. >> thanks very much. let's talk about it with jon karl. jon, starting out with the debate, you know, democrats feisty last night. thursday night has become fight night for the republicans but this could be the last big debate. >> reporter: george, this is almost certainly the last big opportunity for the anti-trump forces to try to stop donald trump.

team that has to score multiple three-point shots at the buzzer, none of them exactly looking like steph curry and this could be the last debate because although there's another one on the schedule for the end of the month it's not clear that it will actually happen. doesn't have a sponsor yet and not clear whether john kasich and marco rubio will be around to be in that. >> let's look at the delegate fight. if donald trump way ahead in florida wins both florida and ohio those winner take all states on tuesday, no one else in the field will be able to get the delegates they need. >> in fact, george, even if they beat trump in those two states it's going to be nearly impossible to catch up. take a look at this. if marco rubio wins the state of florida, he needs to win 75% of the rest of the delegates to clinch before the convention in cleveland. ted cruz is not expected to have a chance in either florida or ohio. he would need 68% of the delegates left and if john kasich can win his home state of

everything he would need to win 85% of the delegates to clinch before the convention so quickly becoming almost a mathematical impossibility to beat donald trump before the convention. >> if they win a couple they could deny him the majority, as well. >> reporter: absolutely. in fact, he would need to get 48% of delegates even if he wins both those states, so he has to do better thank he's been doing. >> jon karl, thanks very much. to tennis star maria sharapova speaking out after she failed a drug test amid new allegations now she ignored several warnings about that banned drug. abc's linsey davis has the latest. >> reporter: just two days after publicly disclosing she'd failed a drug test. >> on january 1st, the rules had changed and meldonium became a prohibited substance which i had not known. >> reporter: maria sharapova has a message of gratitude for her

in an open letter posted on her website she writes i woke up yesterday morning with an inbox full of love and compassion. she may be feeling the love of her fans but that's not shared by some of the major corporations that help make her the world's highest paid female athlete. >> there is no opponent but yourself. >> reporter: porsche, nike and tag tu heuer all suspending her. while meldonium is used to treat heart ailments some studies say it boosts endurance. >> showed a lot courage to admit to what she had done and that being said it's just taking responsibility but she admitted she's willing to do. >> reporter: sharapova's lawyer tells abc news she was taking a low dose of the drug at the recommendation of a family doctor to address several issues including irregular ekg tests and that she was unaware meldonium was found within the medication.

she had been warned to stop taking the substance five times. but her attorney says, this really is a very honest mistake by a very good woman who takes her career very seriously. when or how sharapova can win back the respect of the public remains to be seen. but she's made it clear she wants to return writing in her open letter i'd like to play again and hope to have the chance to do so. a spokesperson for russia's president says the situation should 2409 be presented in such a way it casts a shadow on all russian sports. but some good news for the russian tennis star, sports equipment company head says it plans to extend her endorsement deal saying it seems it was all an honest mistake and seems to be taken and innocent until proven guilty stance. >> thanks so much. joined by "usa today" columnist christine brennan, so, what do you make of that phrase, an honest mistake? are you buying it? >> no, not really, amy. i think she's going to be banned

up to four years. this is -- those e-mails you have to read them. she was warned over and over again. they don't just drop this news on you on new we're eve. she had ample opportunity and it's a huge mistrach for maria sharapova. >> you know we keep hearing from her speaking out in this latest instance thanking other her fans. does that change anything, swing favor in her opinion. >> admirable she's taken ownership of this where other athletes deny, deny, deny like lance armstrong but when it comes down to the hearing in may the tennis federation will look at this and decide her fate. they're not looking at her facebook posts or a pr campaign but did she have medical records and prove why she took this for heart ailments and angina for a young person for all these years is what they'll dare about. >> you're expecting a stiff punishment, christine brennan, thank you so much. >> thank you, amy. we switch gears to a

>> what's the problem? >> nothing, sir. >> let me see your hands, get out. >> oh, my god. you're a life saver. oh, my god. i can't believe it. he has a gun. he had it at my head. >> reporter: the officer arresting the suspect on the scene. >> what are the odds that while you're going through this there's an officer right behind you? >> this was my guardian angel. he appeared. >> if that's how he feels that's great. we're out there every day helping out and worked out perfectly. >> reporter: for "good morning america," gio benitez, abc news, reading, pennsylvania. >> it was really his guardian angel. >> yeah. >> scary story with a happy ending. another good story, special guest in washington this morning. canada's young and handsome new prime minister justin trudeau has arrived with his wife sophie and three kids for tonight's state dinner at the white house.

if anybody goes forward with this thing we'll find them and prosecute them. >> reporter: five months later in october 2012 gawker.com did what no other media outlet dared. the man behind the post labeled nsfw, not safe for work, a.j. di lair lairo saying he couldn't wait to publish it. >> i enjoyed watching the video. i found it very amusing. >> reporter: daulerio saying he didn't call hogan or clem before putting it up on the site. >> so it's fair to say that whether he suffered emotional distress or not that played no part in your decision to publish it. >> reporter: lawyers asking if there's any celebrity sex tape he wouldn't consider newsworthy. >> if they were a child. >> what age? >> 4. >> reporter: but gawker calling

saying only it was made after he said he wouldn't post the tape of a child. nick denton was asked whether posting it would be distressing to hogan. >> uh, no, i didn't and why not in because my job is to disseminate information and that's our social function. >> reporter: team hogan also puts a college professor on the stand who told the jury that gawker's post violated nearly every principle of ethical journalism but gawker prides itself on having different journalistic standards and it has not even begun to present its case in court. >> thanks. let's talk about it with dan abrams and nancy grace, host of "nancy grace" on hln. pretty startling moment on where gawker would draw the line. >> yes, it was very startling

perfume on the pig to say that your line, your goal standard is that you would not post a sex tape of air child under 4. gawker's argument is that that was being flip and sarcastic but even being flip and sarcastic is not going to go down well with that jury and it lifts the veil on the mentality at gawker when they put out the hulk hogan sex tape. >> right, and, dan, that can't win them any friends but underneath they have a relatively bad day. >> they were taking depositions giving them before. both these will end up testifying in the case where they'll have more time to explain things. >> joking around. >> whatever, but, look, the real risk for gawker here is a legal matter. is it these jurors put gawker on trial in general as opposed to focusing on the very specific question here about this tape,

and if i'm gawker, the one thing i'm really worried about is that the jurors become so angry at what gawker does that they simply want to punish them and i'm sure that's what their lawyers are -- >> i would not put them back on the stand. they may do it, dan. you may be right about that but i wouldn't put those two on the stand. they're radioactive and imagine what would happen on cross-examination. you know what, speaking of the testimony in court i thought hulk hogan did a great job. it's not hulk hogan that you are used to seeing in the ring with the wwe. this is the private hulling. bollea and came across as measured and calm and not what people would have expected. >> i thought hulk hogan was okay. i didn't think he was great. i think this whole distinction between i get to pick when i'm hulk hogan versus when i'm terry bollea is not a particular -- >> you think gawker not going on the stand is an option. >> no, no question nick denton will take the witness stand in

i mean he has to take the stand. you can't let them put clips of your deposition in without providing context. nick is a much more important witness in the context of this case than terry bollea/hulk hogan meaning hulk hogan's testimony, yes, it's relevant. yes, it's important but the most important question in this case is, why did gawker do what it did? what were they thinking? what was the reasoning behind -- >> dan, i think that what you're saying legally is absolutely correct, because this case is against them and you've got to get their reasoning but in my mind when i am speaking to a jury, what's going to matter is, how did this affect hulk hogan? is he believable? sincere. >> that assumes liability and we're already to damage. >> that was great, guys. thanks very much. >> yeah. >> coming up we'll talk about the model taking on donald trump claiming the presidential

we asked a group of young people when they thought they should start saving for retirement. then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential.

7:40. we have new information about donald trump. a young model coming forward taking on a company owned by the presidential candidate. she claims she was promised she would make big bucks working for trump's modeling agency, but that was not the case. abc's brian ross is here with the story. good morning, brian. >> reporter: well, good morning, lara. as a candidate donald trump has called for an end to abuse in a u.s. visa program that brings in seasonal foreign workers criticizing others including the parent company walt disney but is the very program he repeatedly used in his own business ventures including one less known but quite glamorous. in a video for this year's "sports illustrated's" swimsuit contest mia king is running a provocative campaign. much like the man who owns the modeling agency that represents

>> beautiful, beautiful. >> reporter: it's not well known but his vast business empire includes a modeling agency. trump model management is not considered one of the top ten agencies but some of his models have hit it big including his wife melania who while dating him posed on his private jet for a private magazine and as seen on this reality show he's been involved in recruiting talent. >> you just signed. >> reporter: it hasn't worked out for everyone. alexia palmer was recruited from jamaica and brought to the u.s. by the trump agency under a special h1b visa program for foreign workers. in government documents filed by the trump agency it said palmer would make at least $75,000 a year for three years as a full time employee. did that seem like a lot of money to you? >> yes. >> reporter: but she got nothing close to that from the more than

campaign for iman cosmetics. according to a lawsuit she filed the trump agency deducted some 80% of her earnings as fees and expends leaving her for a total of three years of only $3,880 plus some modest cash advances and under her visa status she could not work anywhere else. >> i feel like i was a slave or something. >> a slave. >> because that's what slavery people do just work and work and work and don't get no money. >> reporter: the trump agency said it had a hard time finding work for palmer and that the $75,000 a year on the form was just an estimate. trump general counsel alan garten. >> there was no employer/employee relationship. >> except you checked the box that said full time employee. >> that's what the form requires. >> that wasn't true. >> this is how it's done in the industry. >> reporter: a former u.s. immigration official says companies don't have the option of ignoring the wage figures they cite in a u.s. visa form

>> it would be extraordinarily unusual for that to be legal. >> reporter: the trump agency has brought more than 100 young models to the u.s. under the h1b visa program, the very program trump as a candidate has criticized others for using as a cheap labor program. so, 22-year-old alexia is going to take on donald trump. >> yes and i know i'm going to win because this is very unfair. >> reporter: alexia palmer says there are other trump models like her but they're afraid to take him on. in part once they leave the agency their visas expire and if they stay in the u.s. they're subject to deportation. >> thank you, brian. coming up on "good morning america" we have the story behind this heartwarming video. a young woman giving the man who raised her the gift of a lifetime. we have a health headline this morning about a weight loss

some claim they can reduce your risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure and some give you weight loss with minimal adverse outcome outcomes and some say they reduce your rick of cancer and easier to comply with because you only have to diet two days a week. >> any science behind it. >> there is science in animals that show some value in fasting but there's very limited studies in humans and that's concerning. they're potentially hazardous with people with pre-existing conditions like kidney or diabetes, it can drop your blood sugar low or taking certain medications that can be dangerous if you're fasting and some studies show that if you're fasting one day the next day you're so hungry you'll overeat. >> i would imagine that would be the case for me. human, we've said before are sort of like cars, you have to keep gassing the engines, little bit, little bits. is that your philosophy?

christian bale has gone from "the dark knight" to "knight of cups." his new film getting a lot of buzz and opening up about another film on a lot of people's minds, the new batman and abc's nick watt went one-on-one with the star. >> living with the life as someone i didn't know. >> reporter: "knight of cups" is so darned clever. >> let me tell you about you. >> reporter: and its star, the uber talented christian bale, "american hustle," "the dark knight" doesn't love interviews. chris, everyone happy. >> everybody happy.

>> no, i'm good. in the morning i'm kind of in a big cloud of happiness right now. >> reporter: the film comes from famed direct terrence malick, you know "tree of life." "thing red line." >> why should i be afraid to die? >> this one evolved to the point where let's not even bother having a script. i was kept the most in the dark in the middle of it. whenever i would speak terrence would tell me to shut up. >> what's your name? >> my character is a writer but he's so lost of the use of words. >> reporter: the effect mesmerizing. >> more of a kind of let's see what happens, therefore the viewing experience is also that, as well. it's kind of -- i think it will be very different to each and every person. in that term i think it's more interactive instead of being told what you meant to think. >> reporter: bale is english but when he plays batman -- >> very important. there's a great character here. >> reporter: he talked american in interviews. >> he's such an american icon

revolt if they heard an english voice saying that he was playing batman. >> reporter: in the upcoming reboot it's ben affleck. how is it? very different from your batman. >> it needs to be. i've been watching the trailers with my little boy. he's excited. i am too. >> reporter: he's been on the screen since spielberg's "empire of the sun." >> i love the experience of doing it. i was 12 years old and off in these cupses by myself and i loved but then you get all the press and that did my head in and made me say forget it. it's not for me. >> then and now. >> no, but it's all right. the reason i love being an actor is because i'm not playing myself. something i don't know how to do as well. >> there is that too. >> left school really early and never paid attention. >> this isn't the career of last resorts. >> it's the only choice. there is nothing else. i'm not good at anything else.

this and "knight of cups" also amazing unlike any movie ever seen. for "good morning america," nick watt, abc news, los angeles. >> and "knight of cups" is in select theaters now and opens nationwide tomorrow. coming up next, what happens when innocent people try life behind bars?

so we love virtual reality technology here at "gma" and used it when amy was on safari and people are playing with the technology right outside our studio. rob is with them. hey, rob. rob? not ready? >> he's not so we got dan abrams here. he's hosting a new show on a&e called "60 days in." innocent people going in and spending a day in one of the worst prisons -- >> spending 60 days in one of

juju chang will give us a look and talk to dan about it. >> one county jail. >> i never even had handcuffs on me. >> reporter: seven innocent civilians. >> did i do the right thing? >> reporter: 60 days. in a and e's docu-series "60 days in" seven brave souls agree to be locked up undercover with neither the guards or prisoners not knowing they haven't been convicted of a crime. when you met the recruits, you thought oh, my gosh. they won't all make it. has no clue. >> reporter: this stomach-churning social experiment all taking place in clark county jail in jeffersonville, indiana, a facility with a history of corruption, drugs and violence. >> when i took over as sheriff the behavior was horrible. >> reporter: did you worry you're putting your career on the line by putting innocent lives at risk? >> yeah, i did. there were a lot of sleepless nights. >> reporter: with hundreds of cameras capturing their journey,

ranging from a social worker to a marine, a teacher and a military stay at home mother of two. were you scared out of your wits. >> i was petrified. >> reporter: they faced gut-wrenching and volatile ryals. >> they're already suspicious of me. >> reporter: without protection or barely a safety net. all to shed light on crime and corruption that usually takes place deep in the shadows. did you fire any corrections officers after this? >> we did. we made some arrests. we had several that actually quit. >> reporter: what are you hoping that the tv viewer gets out of watching this? >> that, hey, this is not a place i want to be. >> reporter: for "good morning america," juju chang, new york. >> i wouldn't want to be there. it's terrifying. >> stunning. when they first told me we actually were able to get seven innocent people into a real jail with no one knowing -- i was like, come on. what do you mean? >> the guards? >> no one knows except for the sheriff and his captain --

seven people. >> there was a real concern. there were cameras everywhere but not everywhere meaning cameras all around but not in the bathrooms. >> what if they decide no mas. do they have a safeword? >> yes. >> pineapple. pineapple. >> but, remember, because they can't just walk up to one of the guards because the guards don't know. >> they have no cell phone darn. >> nothing. so this is real. i mean this is honestly more documentary than it is reality show. >> can we talk about what do we learn from the show besides the fact my heart is racing? >> the sheriff learned a lot about his prison. things he didn't know and how drugs were being smuggled. >> risky move for him. >> totally. this was a bad jail beforehand. new sheriff comes in, says, i got to clean this thing up. what am i going to do and 234ishly thought about using undercover police officers. well, we'll come for 48 hours. he's like, that's not enough so

come in for 60 days and the question, of course, is going to be how many of them make it for the full 60 days? >> wow. >> yeah. >> it's a fascinating show. >> yeah, this sounds fantastic. it premieres tonight on a&e. we'll be right back.

so could you do this? how about with only one leg.

not only blowing up social media but blowing away the competition? people tell me all the time i'm an inspiration but i'm just me. >> you got to see this on abc's "good morning america." >> that is tomorrow. but right now the virtual reality technology that we use to take you on safari in africa a couple of weeks ago with amy this morning, people are playing with that exact technology right outside our studio and rob is there with them. hey, rob. >> hey, lara. so much fun here. we are at the t-mobile times square store where they're unveiling the latest gear including the new phones, the galaxy s7 series and samsung gear vr where these guys are checking out some virtual reality so they can't see what we're doing but what they're looking at, spring break or spring training in the cactus league in arizona and the padre, beautiful. that's a great place to kind of transform yourself and even though it's warm here in new york, i wouldn't mind seeing that virtual reality. by the way, if you're not here

go to your local samsung store and check out the vr and also when you purchase a galaxy sen 7 or s7 edge tomorrow at t-mobile when they unveil it you'll get a second one for free. if you come here today you get prizes. what's up? you enjoying that? he can't see us. hey, yo. >> nah, nah, nah. looks like fun. >> it's funny. >> that is a great ad for virtual reality. come on, that guy is completely in his own world in times square. >> i know. how funny when he watches it back. >> what a perfect end to a surreal thursday on "gma." we hope you have a great one. it's beautiful here in new york. bye-bye.
