mistakenly suggested in an interview dr. ben carson was dropping out. >> he insulted ben carson by doing what he did to ben carson. that was a disgrace. >> reporter: cruz apologized to carson but says trump is the one with the real character problem. >> i can tell you six weeks ago donald trump was saying every day that i was his friend, that he loved me, that i was terrific, that i was nice. [ laughter ] >> and now you're an anchor baby. >> and now i'm an anchor baby. >> reporter: in new hampshire cruz will have to get through marco rubio also. >> i think ted's been very calculated and will say or do anything to get a vote. >> reporter: but the granite tate already proving to be a rocky ride for rubio. >> so when senator rubio gets here, when the boy in the bubble gets here i hope you guys ask him some questions. >> reporter: governor chris christie called you the buy in the bubble suggesting you're a delicate candidate that's not been tested. what do you say. >> chris has had a tough couple

sometimes when people run into adversity they don't react well. >> reporter: and rubio and cruz will several events in new hampshire. donald trump with a single event in arkansas, trump says that he will be adding events here in this state and also acknowledged that skipping the debate right before the iowa caucus like lie hurt him but he would do it again in a second. why? he raised $6 million for veterans. george. >> okay, tom, thanks. let's talk to mr. trump right now joining us by phone. you heard tom llamas there, mr. trump. acknowledged skipping the debate might have h ht you. what's the biggest change you need to make as you head into new hampshire? roger stone says you need to sharpen your focus on cruz and rubio. >> well, i think i don't have to make too many changes, i mean, i'm doing pretty well. i came in second when people said i would be in the top ten when i went out to iowa, they all said i'd be in the top ten. >> you were leading all the polls going into the vote. >> no, but the polls came out very late and said toward the end it looked like i was doing

up coming in second place and it's interesting because the man that came in third place, a good guy, marco, everybody saying he won like it was a big victory. i came in second place, ab easy second place and nobody said that. >> on saturday you yourself said unless i win i will consider this is a big fat beautiful and by the way very expensive waste of time. >> i don't like second place. i'm not a fan of second place but i did well and the person that came in third place everybody is raving about how wonderful it is and they don't say that about me. i came in second place so i don't say that. i'm not thrilled with second place but i was told don't even go to iowa because i'm not going to win iowa and i thought it was something i should do and i went there and i almost won it and by the way, i got more votes than anybody in the history of the state other than the one particular player. >> who is the bigger threat, ted cruz or marco rubio? >> i don't know. and there are others also that you didn't mex, i mean somebody else could sneak up so i mean there's always threats.

you have some people that were supposed to be threats and they're no longer threats it would seem but you have somebody could come out of the pack. >> you got some people coming down hard on you, as well. john sununu former governor of new hampshire in "the new york times" says i think trump's loss will remind people that the guy has a history of losses. he brought up your bankruptcies and the charges against trump university and goes on to say there's no longer trump vodka, frag begans and three magazines that mr. trump put his name on. history of losses. >> no, i have no is tri of losses and started off with very little. i used the bankruptcy laws just like anybody else, it's corporate, it's not personal. look at the biggest people, i won't mention their names here but a list of the biggest people we have in business, all of us do that, use it. it's a business tool and use that to our advantage and i've built an amazing company. i have a company that's worth many, many billions of dollars and everybody knows it. >> you were outspent in iowa. are you ready to spend more of

go up on the air, make sure you get that victory? >> oh, yeah, we're spending a lot of money. new hampshire is my first place and i really liked iowa. di well in iowa by all accounts, i mean, let's face it. i did well and came in second and there are ten people that didn't and, you know, we started off with 17 if you think of it that way but i think i did very well. you look at a guy like sununu, you talk about losese, he got fired by bush like a dog and this guy goes out and i guess he's working for somebody that he wants very much because i heard about that and i think it's a ridiculous attack. >> what do you think happened in iowa because all the polls in the final three days did show you with a clear lead. >> well, i think it's very hard to poll a caucus. caucusing is very tough to poll and that showed it. now, didn't show a big polling. showed i could win by a little bit and i was actually surprised because i was not supposed to win iowa. i was supposed to do really great in new hampshire but not

look, i came in second and the person that came in third was praised as though he had a great victory but they didn't say that about me. >> the new h hpshire polls can often swing very hard after iowa. are you braced for that and if you fall short again, is that the end of the road for your campaign? >> no, not at all i think we'll do well with south carolina and with the s.e.c. in nevada. this is long term. i have unlimited money and i'm still funding my campaign and, you know, one of the things i said yesterday, i don't think i get any credit for self-funding my campaign. i get nothing. it's an amazing thing, i'm putting in millions of dollars and i will put in millions but i don't think the voters when they go into the booth say, oh, wow, he's funding his campaign, isn't that wonderful? everyone else is not doing that. i'm the only one self-funding and honestly, i don't think i get very much credit for that and it is something you should be given credit for.

you are in for the long haul. see you in new hampshire. >> okay. >> the battle between the democrat, hillary clinton and bernie sanders shifting their focus to new hampshire after the associated press officially declared clinton the winner in iowa. abc's cecilia vega is in manchester also with the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. this is bernie sanders' backyard. he is basically coming home here and even after that tight iowa win, hillary clinton is here playing catch-up. overnight, bernie sanders hitting the trail on his own turf. >> we believe in you. [ cheers and applause ] >> more importantly, i believe in you. >> reporter: drawing supporters out in full force, now just less than a week from the first primary vote here. the vermont senator amping up his ground game enjoying a double-digit lead in the polls but also looking ahead to the

>> secretary clinton won here in 2008. so, you know, we areaking nothing for granted. >> reporter: clinton trying to avoid an upset. >> well, i am in a contest with your neighbor. i have the highest respect for him. we're in his backyard. >> reporter: this is the backyard. now, i want to give you an example of what it looks like here. we have obtained a copy of a fund-raising memo that clinton's campaign manager sent out updating the status of the race. in it he says new hampshire voters have a history of supporting candidates from new england, so it's not surprising sanders has a double digit lead here, robin. this is clearly an attempt to try to explain why a presumed front-runner is in a second tier standing. >> thank you. we'll bring in abc's matthew dowd, taking it in talking to donald. bernie sanders with a double digit lead and also a 20-point lead in the latest one before

>> still the favorite and i think he's the odds on favorite. he has to win new hampshire. he said that he's going to go on regardless. he has to win new hampshire. a wink to the super bowl. it's a lot like an all-star rookie quarterback in their first game who throws an interception on the first series, that's what happened to him in iowa. they're going to put him back in in the second series but if he gone. >> coming out of iowa and he kept talking about this, donald marco rubio. he came in third. but he has the momentum. >> marco rubio absolutely has the momentum and looks like he's beginning to consolidate the establishment lane in the party. i think marco rubio has to finish second in new hampshire. he has to do that in order to keep everybody else at bay and so if he does, then he continues that momentum. >> how about the others? who needs to gain some traction in new hampshire, chris christie christie? >> a real dice roll. chris christie, jeb bush and kasich. if they don't beat marco rubio and finish second it's over for them.

>> in 2012 we did some polling and the republicans, one in five, they waited until election day, election day to make up their minds so we could see some surprises like we did in iowa, right? >> the interesting thing about new hampshire voters is they always wait until after iowa votes but then they don't necessarily follow iowa. we've had a lot of people that won iowa and have gone on to lose new hampshire but they always wait to see what happened and then they make their decision. this race could adjust dramatically in the final 72 hours. >> i see a twinkle in your eye. it's not politics as usual. even though what happened in iowa it proves it's not business as usual. >> this is the most fascinating race i've ever seen. it's an amazing race. >> you heard it from matthew dowd, thank you. complete coverage of the race for president including the next republican debate moderated by "world news tonight" anchor david muir and "this week" co-anchor martha raddatz this saturday night 8:00, 7:00 central right here on abc. >> thanks, robin. we turn to a major development in the global health emergency

they or he at least because she's not being charged with murder and that's an important distinction, because what it means is that the authorities do not believe, for example, that she was at the scene, that she was involved in the murder, but that she was helping him knowing that he was going to commit a crime. you can't -- if i give you something and i don't know you're about to go commit a crime i'm not guilty of the crime but if i help you knowing that there is a crime about to be committed. >> it's not just not stopping but helping. >> it's not stopping, you actually have to do something to help the person, aid and abet the person to be guilty of that crime? how about this instant messaging app kik. do they have any liability at all. >> possibly not. most of these app, most social mediacans, servers, et cetera, are not held civilly or criminally responsible for the things that happen, but there's in question they'll be under the microscope. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. >> you bring up that app, george. we have more now on that messenger app kik. the tool the young woman may

charged with her murder. now, a big question for parents this morning, are apps like these safe for your children. abc's t.j. holmes is here with some very important information. good morning, t.j. >> hey, robin, you remember there was a time when parents had to warn their kids abouting looking out for strangers at the playground. now they have to warn them about strangers on their cell phone. kik, this wildly popular app. anyone can download it for free and within a matter of minutes they can be sending a private message directly to your child. a young life cut short, an investigation concludes that 13-year-old nicole lovell used an app called kik, so what do parents need to know? experts say many so of these instant messengering apps can lead to threatening behavior and law enforcement worry about potentially dangerous encounters. >> i'm willing to say kik is a devil for young children. it's like a free ability to text anything you want and parents can't see the phone numbers coming in and out. >> reporter: experts say many of

>> you can sign up as anybody you want to be. it really becomes a private hunting preserve for some of these pedophiles. >> kik is a free app where users don't have to use their real names but can share message, photos and video. >> parents sometimes take these away saying the child has abused it but only need a wi-fi signal to be able to communicate. >> reporter: abc reached out to the people who run kik who told us kik cooperated with the fbi for their investigation. kik cooperates with law enforcement to combat child predators anywhere in the world, either under provision of a court order or in emergency situations such as this one. some apps can sort users by geographic location, others by school, some by age. so how do you keep your family safe? >> the first thing parents need to do is set ground rules, secondly, they need to know the technology, know how the parental controls work and, third, they need to talk to their kids and have ongoing conversations about safety so

makes that smart decision. >> there are plenty of apps like this but this is one of the largest most popular, 250 million users, 70% under the age of 25. no parental controls and no age verification and the scary thing the user name, you have to have a user name, most kids give it away. look up kik me on some of these and you can find people saying come find me on this kik app so it's downright scary. >> just like that. >> just like that and directories, you can put in the age you're looking for, gender, you can target folks by age in some of these directory, it's scary. >> thanks for bringing that to us, we appreciate it. the search for that mystery lotto jackpot. >> $63 million on the line. the winner just has over a day to claim it. time is running out and this man right here, he knows firsthand what missing out on millions feels like. he'll tell us about it next. the final countdown e cadets.

he actually collected $50 billion or more for his own lifestyle and that was it. >> one of the headlines from the miniseries, you know the man, you don't know the whole story. what are we going to learn? >> well, you're going to learn the extent of what it means to be a sociopath and he was. he fooled everyone including the people who were closest to him, his wife and children. and when the stories begin to come out and people would say, did ruth know or did the boys know? >> if anyone asks me do they know, i say, huh-uh. >> so what do you do after playing bernie madoff. >> i hope i'll be counting enormous amounts of own and awards. those awards are heavy. they're very heavy. >> you're not going to try for the third most despicable man in america. >> who's that? >> i don't know. >> it might be me.

wouldn't it? yeah, i'll play me, the third most despicable man in america because he was couping his money. >> richard dreyfuss, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> and the prime time miniseries "madoff" airs tonight and tomorrow right here on abc. let's go now to michael. >> all right, thanks, guys. now the "gma" special correspondent for the big game, marlo mosley who's been reporting for us all week. she was chosen from thousands of young football fans to be the nfl's play 60 super kid and she's just that. she is a super kid. now she is joining us from her home in san jose, good morning, marlo. >> good morning, michael. >> hey, now i know you're a big 49ers fran. super bowl is in your city. you were chosen to be part of a skills and drills scrimmage clinic yesterday. did you learn anything?

what you do. >> well, i tell you right now i'm sure all those boys are very jealous of you right now. you know that, right? they want to be your best friend when you go back to school. now, one of the big things you get to do which is -- one of the things you get to do which is so exciting you get to run the team out for the kickoff for the super bowl. how incredible is that? do you have any -- is there any kind of special like run you got? are you going to moonwalk? >> i'm going to be like, you know, showing the football out there, you know, super bowl 50, i'm here and i'm going to be like waving to the fans, i'm going to be having the time of my life. >> you should have the tile of your life. it is the time of my life and i'm honored to talk to you. you're an inspiration to everybody out. >> thank you. >> enjoy it. that's marlo mosley and thank you, marlo and everybody let's go outside to rob to tell us about the weather. >> good stuff, michael. we just have been busy.

is to know about the science and business of dating. all while taking us along for a kind of digital dating adventure. today we'll find out how her first date went and what she learned about the number one thing you should not bring up if you want a second date. >> there's erica scott getting started on her first date not awkward at all that we have our cameras there. >> ready? >> oh, yeah. >> yeah, we did hold hands on the first date. oh, my god. looked like a fish out of water. >> today was date number one with josh. and it went really, really well. >> show us. >> so we're going to like lean forward. >> oh, that probably helps. instructor. >> we met on hinge which connects you with mutual facebook friends and i thought that was really helpful because the street. i'm not really good friends with our mutual friend anymore. it was a girl i used to do gymnastics with when i was a kid but noise knowing someone i once

>> this is so romantic. we talked about the basics like what do you do. >> where are you from originally. >> los angeles. >> what's your favorite food to eat and most of the conversation was pretty easy and light-hearted. one thing we didn't talk about was exes and a new study from match says 14% of people will bring them up on a first date and that's totally off-limits. abc picked up the tab but normally about 50% of guys and 36% of women according to match believe that the guy should be picking up the tab on the first date. so guys think on the first date the average tab should be about $68 and women actually think that it should be less, only like $55. okay. so i guess we'll say good-bye now. >> great to meet you. >> so nice meeting you. thanks for not standing me up. >> great time. i'm glad i did it. maybe fell a couple of types but it was part of the fun. >> aloha, hawaii. >> we are officially in hawaii. in a few hours i'll be

i guess in real life i have some rules like don't date a guy who's dating other women at the same time. >> that's a real good one, isn't it? >> i think the girls of a bachelor should maybe take on that role. >> you took on the girls from "the bachelor" and said maybe they should watch how to be single so we'll put you to the test and give some advice. we'll start out with bachelorette olivia still on the show but seems to have a problem with perspective after ben tells the group he's lost some close family friends she tries to comfort him by saying this. >> like people have written blogs that i have cankles. sorry. try to be strong all the time but it's the scariest thing ever. >> she's crying about cankles. >> i ya, i mean i don't think those were cankles.

me like stankles which is a prize trade in hungarian society so i think with this lady, i think she just needs to be confident in her own skin because when you're happy with you, you're probably going to attract the right partner into your life and that's probably the number one rule and message in the movie "how to be single." >> very well said. emily and hayley are twins. >> yeah. >> they came on the show together but last week after learning that emily was the more dominant twin, ben dumped hayley right in front of her twin sister and their mom and here was hayley's reaction. >> it's not easy to be rejected, but more importantly i'm thankful that emily does get to continue this journey even if it's alone. >> okay, i think she knees a better occupation than twin. [ laughter ] and also a good rule to think

guys like never compete with your own sister or your mom. >> why ever do that. >> or your grandma because it's just not cool. like whoever saw the guy first gets dibs on him. >> free shot. >> what about if they break up. >> well, then you can lay claim. >> okay. don't go for it at the same time. okay. we're just about out of time but ask to have about your fashion line. >> i'm wearing stuff from my new spring collection for rebel and comes out february 7th so before you sit down to watch the super bowl, just go online and buy some outfits. >> and you can watch it before you watch "how to be single," february 12th. >> the best thing to do on valentine's day weekend. seriously. if you're a guy take your lady or your guy and you could work out how to get laid.
