birther arguments would eliminate several candidates, even trump. >> donald's mother was born in scotland. she was naturalized. now donald -- >> but i was born here. >> reporter: some candidates growing frustrated. >> i hate to interrupt this episode of "court tv." >> reporter: senator rubio clashed with governor chris christie over his record in new jersey. >> unfornately, governor the ideas that barack obama supports. >> christie not letting rubio interrupt him. >> you had your chance. you blew it. >> reporter: all the republicans taking shots at hillary clininton. >> hillary clinton would be a national security disaster. hillary clinton cannot be president. >> if we elect hillary clinton the next four years will be worse than the last eight. >> reporter: but cruz and trump weren't done later fighting over cruz saying trump embodieses new york values. >> there are many, many wonderful, wonderful working men and women in the state of new

but everyone understands that the values in new york city are socially libiberal. >> reporter: trump taking g that personally and invoking 9/11. everybody in this world loved new york and loved new yorkers and i have to tell you that was annsulting statement that ted made. >> reporter: after the debate, i spoke with trump who told me he didn't think their fight would get so heated were you surprised at how hard he hit you. >> i was a little bit surprised and i think we hit him back much harder. >> reporter: aft the debate i aske donald trump if he's going to change his strategy before the iowa caucuses. he says he's not but going to spend more time in the hawkeye state. all the candidates will get anotheren shot in two weeks before the voting starts. george. >> okay, tom, thanks. let's talk about this more with jon karl in south carolina foten soltis anderson a columnist for "the washington examiner."

bromance is over with ted cruz. who got the better of it? >> reporter: well, look, both of them, cruz and trump had their best debates of the campaign. theyomininated thidebate but trump clearly came out on top. his response to the new york values attack from cruz was so effective that cruz was actually applauding him and even that exchange on cruz's citizenship. you could argue that cruz won the exchange but look what they were debating, george. they were debating whether or not ted cruz is eligible to be president. that's a debate that donald trump wants to have. it's certainly not a debate that ted cruz wants to have. >> kristen, you ought ted cruz won. >> i thought he did because i think he rattled donald trump. donald trump's not someone who rattles easily buwhen cruz brought up the fact that donald trump's mother wasn't born in the united states, of course, that's irrelevant when it comes to the constitutionality of trump's campaign. but it did seem toto throw hff his heels a little bit and you saw that this is the ted cruz who is a n national bate champion in college.

out to play last night. >> jon, at times the others seemed to struggle to get in a word during the debate but marco rubio really unleashed a barrage on cruz right at the end of the debate. >> reporter: he sure did. clearly marco rubio has calculated that he is not going to be able to beat donalald trump unless he is f first ablto destroy ted cruz. they went back and forth at it. i think that that's the political cage match we'll see going into iowa. but, geoeorge, eveon that score i think you could argue trump won because while they were beating up on each other, trump emerged from this debate largely unscathed. >> meantime, hillary clinton on late night tv last night. here she was with jimmy fallon. >> he does have a running commentary. we both do. could you believe what he just sa? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> what does that mean? have no idea. yeah, we have an ongoing dialogue about it. >> that was her talking about how she watches debates with her husband former president bill clinton but, kristen, one of the things the repubublicans a salivating about is this cage match between bernie sanders and

in iowa and nenew hampshe. >> you're right. if you take a look at the polls hillary inton's decline or the decline of her lead looks about as dramatic as the decline in her leadooked eight years ago. are we seeing a rerun of the same movie because while hillary clinton gets certain piece of the side there are pieces from eight years ago that seem to be flocking to bernie sanders. particularly younger voters. first time caucusgoers and there has to be nervouess in the clinton camp. are we seeing a rerun of eight years ago. >> kristen, jon, thanks very much. over to robin. >> i know you'll be there this weekn sunday and we'll be watching. thank you. now to breaking news, reports just coming in of two military helicopters colliding off the coast of hawaii. the search for survivors under way and abc's gloria riviera has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. here's what we know now. the coast guard has dispatched a helicopter and planes after

>> reporter: her fight inspiring millions, antoday according to her proud papa, houston texans defensive tackle devon still, little leah was won her battle. last week posting this pic of a smiling leah in a rock star pose with the caption "last treatment. t's go" then on instagram on wednesday, the football star boasting his daughter's stats, if you will. 41 days of chemotherapy, 40 days of antibody therapy. 19 days of radiation. 7-hour surgery, 1 win. with that caption, i can really say my daughter beat cancer. >> when my daughter was first diagnosed with cancer, i felt like i was in a nightmare. >> reporter: it has been a trying year for the two who recently won the 2015 jimmy v. perseverance award at the espys. but for this doting dad, greater than any award or win on the

win against cancer. and devon and leah still are joining us. they deserve a standing ovation. yes, yes. >> c can i get a fist pump? can i get a fi pump? can i get one from your daddy? all right. whoo. we neeeeded thisoday. we needed to hear your story. how are you feeling? you just got out of the hospital. how is it going? how are you feeling? >> really good. >> really good. not just good, but really good. how is that -- how has your daddddy helpedou through all this? >> good. >> he's been a good daddy. is he fun? >> uh-huh. >> i can tell. it's -- there are no words, and when you heard the words that she is doing as well as she is after giving a pretty dire diagnosis, what did that mean to you to hear those words? >> i'm just thankful. i mean, it was definitely a ng road traveled. and, you know, with battling cancer and specifically my

fortunate to make it through the whole battle, so we definitely feel blessed and very thankful that we had the doctors and the people around us to help us through this battle. >> and you all have been just so public about it. did you see your daddy when he was atat the esp and he got up there on the stage. we were talking beforehand. you didn't want him to cry. you were like, daddy, don't be a cry baby. is that what you said to him? >> yes. >> yes, you did but it was such an inspirational speech. the jimmy v. perseverance award because bothf you, leah and devon, how you have persevered through this. why did you decide to share so much o of your sry in hopes of helping others? >> it was important to us. to be honest, before my daughter was diagnosed with canr, i didn't know too much about childhood cancer and just knowing that i had the platform i knew that t i could ach a big audience and inform everybody what it's lik for a family to deal with pediatric cancer, therefore, people step up like they did and help out those that are in need. >> how did you feel? #leahstrong.

>> i don't know. i think it's cause of my dad and me. oh, your daddy makes you strong. he makes you strong like that together. and i know that that has meant a love and the support, and you are continuing to give back. congratulations, you and your beautiful fiancee have set a something called the knot where people can help children who have gone through what leaeah has. tell us about it. >> we wanteded to contue to fight against pediatric cancer so instead of having a gift registry for ow wedding decided to have a charity registry where people can go to the knot.com/dreams and donate money to four different charities, one being the still strong foundation. i heard you're goining to be the flower gir do you have your dress all picked out? >> uh-huh. >> i think people will help on the knot decide what you'll wear

's a lot of dark spots. not a lot of positive things you hear from the doctors but if uyou make it through anything and i mediso parents that are going through similar situations can look back and see exactly what we was doing to get through those times. >> now you're with the houston texans. are you ready to see your dadd play some football again? >> yes. >> yes. what dyou like to do? >> i'd like to be a cheerleader [ cheers and applause ] >> wonderful! penn state. lara is from penn state. why penn state? state. he used to. >> that's right.

culture and the conditions in which students thrive. >> reporter: proponents say it bowl sters collalaborationnd support. we saw firsthand in this sixth grade math class. >> what is y? go. >> before i would tell students to come in the classroom and do your warm-up. now with no nonsense warm-up, i say when i say go, i want you to walk into the classroom. grab your warm-up off the bookshelf. your voice is on zero. you ll sit down in your classroom and complete your warm-up and you have five minutes to do that. >> reporter: and the word "please" is used very sparingly. >> what we're asking is not an option. it's an expectation. no one would say to you, will you come to work today, please. >> reporter: this program is used by 250 schools across the country and aims to create an environment that is structured and consistent for students, so what does this teacher hear from her students? >> they typically say, you know, we love miss alfred but she doesn't play. >> reporter: but reaction from

>> i don't agree with it point-blank, period. >> we'll try it and see how it works first. >> reporter: as for the teachers, they say the proof is in the positive results. >> it also reduces suspension and reduces the amount of time a student spends outside the classroom due to misbehavior because they have the opportunity to comply to your directions because you're specific. you're concrete. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> let's talk about this now. ericka souter, e editor ofom.me is here. we just heard about the results. what do you think? >> well, my first thought was, there's something that seems nurturing about this proam but if you take a look at communities or teachers dealing with very chaotic classrooms or mae there are discipline problems at home that are carrying over into thelassroom this can have a positive effect and that's what we saw a little bit in that video. but if you have kids who are not -- don't have those kind of problems, it can create an atmosphere of fear and anxiety and makes the classroom a tense situation. >> but it is trying to counter that everyone gets a trophy

i'm a big fan of doing that when ey're 2 and 3 and d just bei introduced to things and enencouraginparticipation but when you get to 4 or 5, they really to start learning that you need to earn that praise and so this can go a long way in helping that kind of mentality. >> what do you thinknk parents shld take away from this and incorporate at home? >> well, every kid needs structure. every kid needs structure and discipline. and you want to make sure that you are putting rules in place and that they know that they have to follow those rules. but i don't see anything wrong with saying please and thank you. >> i think the first time you ask is a please, and if the child doesn't listen, it's i'm not going to ask you again. >> exactly. and forfeiting that doesn't mean you're giving up control. it just means you're teaching them to be respected and that brds respect in turnrn. there. forfeiting control. >> not at all. >> by not saying tt. i just -- i don't -- >> i know because you're all about manners. >> right.

i agree but there is a time and ple where, you know -- children crave -- >> structure. >> -- structure and control and knowing that they have somebody who's in control of the situation. to say please do this, they take advantage. >> maybe it's how you say please. >> it's not an option. still be polite. >> they know they have to do it and they have to follow rules and there should be penalties in place if they don't. >> but i do appreciate that they are trying to do something, that they recognize there's a problem and trying -- it's a creative solution for them and if it's working for them -- >> right. we just want to make sure it doesn't discourage kids from asking for help if they need it or ask questionsns in a clsroom. all those things are still important even if you need kids to follow the rules. >> a great discussion. >> let's go outside to sam. all right, everybody, so i thought i was walking out into times square, but apparently this is hickory, north carolina. everybody from hickory, raise your hand and wave. look at this. [ cheers and applause ] there is no one at home in hickory, north carolina.

>> when you watch that story, george, what -- >> it's a little creepy. >> a little creepy. >> yay. then i have done my job in "pop ne." >> well, it's only creepy if you stuff it. >> if you what? >> never mind. >> tried to move on. >> okay. i'm sorry. you're right, george. just let it go. >> also earlier this week, we told youou about aob opening for goat cuddlers. well, in today's "pop news" job postings, how about the chance to be a humaman cat? >> this one is for dan. >> a woman named sophie from a craigslist ad seeking someone to o come to her house and curl up on the end of her bed and purr softly like a sleeping kitten to help her sleep. >> this is creepy friday.

>> $ $40 an ho for producing a nice consistent purr. >> i have a question. >> go, please. >> do you have to be in costume or can you just go as you are? >> there is one job requirement. you must show up in a realistic cat costume and you must -- >> dan, do you have one o those? >> and you must ent on all fours. >> i'm sorry, what? >> that's required? >> what i would say is why not spare all the time and expense and save the life of a cat from your local shelter. >> ah. >> there you go. >>ery good. >> as it turns out, the woman apparently was having a bad day. she said she was actually sort of joking but she thoroughly enjoyed the multitude of applicants who actually sent responses for this job, which we believe may or may not, one of them, have come from this guy. >> who's grumpier, me or grumpy cat? grumpy cat. >> awesome. and then finally in "pop news" on this -- what did you call it? >> creepy frididay. >> creepy friday. not freaky friday. you're not going with alliteration. just full creep. perft.

this man impressing thousands on the internet. obviously he's hungry, he's at a buffet and makes a big plate. i totally get that then he realizes it's just not enough, and he comes up with a genius idea and there you go, everybody. that's your friday takeaway. >> literally. >> i'm here for you, america. literally. >> i'm here for you, america.
