as they give that security number. how do you like that. boycott apple. here's the thing, first of all, the phone is not even owned by this young thug that killed all these people. the phone's owned by the government. government. >> andrea: marco rubio campaigning alt clemson, university. he had quite a day. he said the democrats should be elected at the white house. mainly taking shots with bernie sanders but his message was cut short when someone in the audience needed medical attention. take a look how he responded. >> i think guys, what we should at this point i want to thank you for coming tonight and it sounds like this might be this a an important situation here. yeah. let's -- why don't we just bow our heads a moment in prayer. father lord, we thank you for bringing us here today. we ask you to pray for our brother at this moment that

it's just fueling these young children. >> reporter: and constantly promoting yourself instead of helping others has damaging consequences according to the experts. >> people can start relationships but they have trouble keeping them going. they have trouble making any relationships. you have people who are good at maybe promoting themselves and getting jobs but when they're there they come across as too entitled or too self-centered to keep the jobs. >> andrea: and that was linda schmitt. still to come we're going to take you behind the scenes of the daytona 500 media madness we got your press pass coming up. here's your live look. you're looking inside of our studio this morning. and there's a gorgeous shot as we pan across our studio crew. good morning. hello, hello. there's kristin, she's busy at work getting ready for your last forecast coming up here.
