united states, no need to take those chances, george, on someone who's never managed anything larger than a 30-person senate staff. >> marco says you're lashing out because you're losing. he's in second place, you're stuck at 5% in sixth place right now. >> george, you know, marco can say whatever hwants about that but this is his experience or lack thereof. he just doesn't have any experience, george. all he has is experience of being a legislator. we've tried that as a part and as a country and it doesn't work. >> you've been hitting him etty consistently for the last several days. is that pretty muca concession that if you don't beat him on tuesday it's t the end othe line for you? >> no, it's not a a concessi to that at all, george. but what it is is trying to raise a really important issue for new hampshire voters as we get to go to the polls. fact is, we ne to make sure we have a candidate who actually knows what there doing. we need to have a candidate who is willing to take questions from the press in an unguarded

that does more than 45-minute drive-by town hall meetings and marco rubio has been the most prototected coled candidate in the race so what i said before is let the boy come out of the bubble. let's see what he can take, because as you know the heat he'll get from hillary clinton if he was ever the nominee will be much greater than anything any of us can throw at him. >> we have this controversy brewing about the iowa caucuses. dold trump and ben carson lashing out at ted cruz suggesting that he stole the iowa caucuses, merit to that argument? >> i don't think so. u know, i don't think any time in politics when you lose and you ask for a do-over that's lot of confidence in your leadadership ality. the results are the results. you move on and try to win the next and stop focusing on the rearview mirror. hard on new hampshire. done town hall meeting after town hall meeting making the case now for several months but do appear to be stuck right now.

>> just keep working, george. that's how you do it. you keep working, do well in the debate on saturday night. i will tell you this, you look at the polls that were going into iowa, the polls, the last on"the des moines register" was wrong on donald trump and tecruz by nine points and wrong with marco rubio by eight points. this has been difficult to race to poll and i know you're obsessed with polls. you want them every day and question everything on polls but the fact is you all were saying donald trump was a winner over the weekend, that he was definitely going to win the iowa caucuses. and then it turns out he loses so i'm not going to get into that game with you, george. it's like when people vote we'll knowow what haens and make decisions based off that butf we made decisions based offer the polls that you guys were counting on on sunday, we would have given donald trump the win and this thing would be in a much different direction. >> we'll see you saturday night. thanks, governor. >> looking forward to it, george.

>> -- criminal behavior. sure, people don't question it. what we call in the fbi li icon intimidation. when someone has a particular status because of their job or because of success, people don't question who they are or what they're doing, so it is sometimes much easier to hide that deep, dark secret life. >> one of the unusual aspects of this case is that he had an alleged accessory here, natalie keepers also charged here with being an accessory before the fact. kind of unusual for a boy and girl to team up like this. >> it really is and even more unusual that you have two females in this -- you have the victim and then you have a co-offender and so it becomes even more difficult to determine what were the roles of everybody in this, but david does appear from everything i'm reading and reviewing, he seems to be very good at manipulating people e and i think that ability really

women. >> what's the number one thing investigators will be focusing in on right now? >> well, they're going to be looking at his past behavior. they'll be looooking at o else could d have beeinvolved, looking at whether or not he's done this before and looking for other young girls he reached out for on that particular site. they'll look for behavior that led up to this crime because this is not the result of waking up one morning and just snapping. there's an evolutionary process to this type of behavior. investigators will be lookoking for that. >> so much planning. dr. o'toole, thanknks very mh. >> so chilling. all right. now to that manhunt under way for a couple called the real-life bonnie and clyde nted for a string of robberies and dnappings across the south considerered armednd dangerous and linzie janis has that story. >>eporter: in their facebook photos they appear to be a typical loving couple. but this surveillance footage offers very different perspective on the duo many are

>> but are they really the most attractive players on the field? john wertheim and sam try to answer it in "this is your brain on sports"? took media photos of all the quarterbacks and had a random sample of people who weren't big football fans look at them. on a scale of one to ten how attractive are these guys. >> reporter: they ran it again using photos of wide receivers then defensive backs so which group was deemed most attractive? wide receivers like eric decker came out on top and defensive backs like charleswoodson. >> if anything they came out at the bottom. >> reporter: the pretty boys came in last? i thought the quarterbacks for the most part are above average in the looks department. they aren't. we just assume they are. it's called the halo effect because the quarterback

the field, that leadership and success amplifies their attractiveness. it's all in your head. it's all in your head. all right, so they did this poll a couple of times. the best looking quarterbacks were alex smith of the chiefs, then brady then tannehill of the dolphins so did this for college guys too. quarterbacks came in last. >> they didn't put defensive linemen. >> they didn't want to because you guys were too bulky. >> who doesn't love a little bulk.

>> some parts i was okay with. and others, not. i was okay with the rantings of the killer because that's who he is. >> reporter: goldman who owns rights to the infamous book "if i did it confessions of the killer" says it does a disservice to his son and nicole brown simpson. >> their only involvement in this series is as dead bodies in the beginning and that's the extent of the victims in this story. it's a story primarily as we understand it about the attorneys. >> reporter: one of those attorneys former simpson prosecutor marcia clark saying on "the view." the series may serve a positive purpose. >> it's a good thg. it will spark the discussion we need to have about the reasons for the division, the racial divide when it comes to the view of the trial and the verdict. >> reporter: yet former simpson houseguest and prosecution witness cato kaelyn says it's filled with inaccuracies even

york daily news he say writing i'm talking scenes where that ridiculo blond wig is rearing its ugly head which were completely fabricated. > talkingbout the mother of my children dying and they're asking me these questions. >> anybobody watching it especially the generation who never knew of thisase a all, i think they have to watch with a clear eye and understand that this is a fictionalized version and not everything is going to be true. >> clearly this tv drama has been difficult for many who lived thrgh that courtroom ordeal. marcia clarkaid it was like living a nightmare. we reached out to fx to talk about some of these commences and they had no comment but i have to tell you all lots of passionate reactions including from thectors i interviewed. cuba goodi jr. thought, okay, good, o.j. got justice but in filming this he broke down in

really thought as much about the victims so even thectors themselves have been transported by it in where were you? > everyon knowsherehey were during that bronco chase. it's really remarkable. >> we'll be wating still, deborah. >> yeah, we will. >> thanks. joining us from tampa is o.j. simpson's friend and manager norman pardo. thanks for joining us this morning. o.j. is not happy with the idea of this series, is he? >> oh, no, this is not something he's looking forward to. especially with his parole hearing coming up. >> and you -- >> to rehash all this. >> i'll bet he's not and what are his biggest problems with this and what have you heard as you've been in touch with him? >> the only real problem i think he has with any of this, him personally he doesn't really care other than his parole, i'm sure this will be a big effect on this next year but his kids. i think that they're having to relive something that they don't want to do and it's going to

that's the sad thing. >> do you thi he'll wawatch? >> you've got -- well, i'm sure he will, because o.j.'s -- he'll say he won't but he always does. he always says he never reads the rags but he does. i mean curiosity, it's about him even though it's fictional or whatnot, it's still about him so he'll watch, you know. somemehow they'll figure out a way to do it. it's just sad for the kids. that's the main thing. they shouldn't have to go through this all over again. their mother was butchered, you know, and their father is considered a murderer by a lot and they have to relive that for the next two months over and over and over they can't even go to the restaurant without it airing so it's just -- it's a hard thing for them. >> how about that portrayal by cuba gooding jr.? >> well, that's sort of silly. i mean i'm sure he's a really nice guy and all but he's definitely not like o.j. simpson. they never consulted i don't

to explain that that's not o.j. it doesn't even sound like him. i don't even know what's up with the uh stuff. that part made me laugh. i don't get it but he did the best he could, i guess. it's just o.j. simpson has a charisma about him. he's a good-looking guy. he's a ladies man. big guy, you know, ftball player. you know, when h walks into a room, everybody runs to him. the women, i mean, it's just -- they called him bait in college because of his looks. i mean, and cuba gooding jr. is a nice guy but he's not a big guy. he doesn't look like o.j. in any way, shape or form and definitely doesn't sound like him. >> last time we saw o.j. on tape he seemed like a pretty defeated guy. >> well, he is. he's very depressed right now. i mean, he doesn't want to talk to peop. he's become real isolated. institutionalizing himself. every time he tks to somebody it brings back the outside and then he has to

really likes to be left alone. you knowow, when we have friends that go visit him, he'll visit them foror a mine or two then he's got to go. he said i've got to go back in there. we're working on fantasy football things and he actually leaves them there. which is really weird because they drive three days to get there. >> you know, i'm wondering -- >> he's the one ready to believe. >> before we go this movie "concussion" has sparked a lot of debate about degenerative brain disease in fooootball and e doctor who inspired it thinks that he thinks o.j. suffers from it, that disease known as cte. do you think he may be right? >> o.j. has a lot of shall issues, i mean he'll do things that are just whacked out. he'll sit in the corner. he'll talk to himself. he'll answer himself. you know, i've caught him doing that n numerous times. i deal with people who are usually unpromotable, the people that have to be turned around. o.j. was one -- you can't really deal with him because he doesn't understand a lot of things like going i in vegashen he went into that room. he knew better, he called me and

he did it because he doesn't understand things. he's like a child. when weandle him it's like a child. you really got to -- you know, you got to really watch him, watch his manner itches. i think that fx should have actually contacted me just to get some of my video. i got 70 hours of him? us to learn his mannerisms to find out what he's like to be around. >> mr. pardo, thanks very much. >> you could see. >> thank you very much for your time this mornin >> all righ thank you. >> amy. >> all right, george. to you to a big headline for parents this morning about yr kids and all that screen time. experts are now saying, s, it could hurt their very many and one moms trying to tn it all around with her new mie "screenagers." reena ninan is here with her story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i will be the first to admit it, i was in the middle of a wedding reception and pulled out my ipad to keep the kids entertained. how bad can that really be? come on. apparently now there's science showing just what technology is doing to our kids. >> all started with one

what new phone to get my daughter. >> reporter: as a physician delaney is used to diagnosing problem answer solving them of the as a mom to teens tessa and chase she struggled with the dilemma facing many americans, how much technology is too much for her kids? >> i was completely struggling with how to get my kids to not be on screens all the time. >> reporter: in a fascinating new movie called "screenagers" she shows their desire for screen time. >> w what wld you do with it. >> i will be cool and i'd be able to look busy in awkward situations. >> reporter: the science of how it can actually affect young minds. >> you can't have the conversations that would lead to the development of empathy and self. >> there's a release of dopamine in the area around the smart 7 phone pulling out answer glancing at it because you want that release of the pleasure producg chemical. >> reporr: kids spend nearly

including screen time for classroom or homework. screenagers find plenty of parents sharing the struggle from parents frustrated by the teens'elfie culture. >> i haven't seen her taking a real feet at the of anything but herself. >> reporter: to playing too many video games. >> when i tried to stop him he turns into another person. >> reporter: she found the best way to manage her own family's screen use is having boundaries which include a family contract they designed together. >> we don't have cell phones in our bedrooms at night. not at the dining room table and also when we're in the car. >> reporter: it isn't always easy. >> i wish i had unlited access but i recognize and understand that the rules are there for legitimate reasons. >> it's still a struggle at times but now it feels like we're a group doing this together. >> reporter: and the film also tackles issues that come with a lot of screen time like online

and snorkeling at the aulani resort. tuesday's date was on hinge and wednesday's date was on tinder. hinge, you have a mutual facebook friend whereas tinder is infamous for letting you swipe left or right based on whether you think someone looks good. so you're kind of just judging them based on their looks. you grew up in hawaii. >> yeah, my whole life. >> i thought doug looked like a really cooguy. i think a lot of people assume you won't find meaningful relationships on tinder because unlike having a mutual friend on hinge, you have no idea what these people a are goingo be like in real life. there is n no way ofe knowing after only one date with josh from hinge or doug from tinder but i have to believe both seemed genuine and true to their profiles. >> thank you. >> really nice to meet you. >> one of the reasons the date with doug was so cool was because it was so active. conversation was running smoothly because we had something to do and went paddle boarding in the lagoon and

now we obviously had a date during the day, but according to match 60% of singles think that the evening is a better time for a date and they also think that saturday is the best day of the week for it so it kind of seems like i'm just breaking all the rules. >> erica joins ufrom hawaii right now. breaking the rules but that date looked like some fun, erica, right there. what about the difference betweethese two apps right there, hinge and tinder. is tinder living up to its reputation of being more superficial? >> i think there are a lot of connotations that maybe it's for more casual hookups but i don't think the app should define the date. i think like a lot of things you get out of it what you put into it, so if you want to find someone, you might be able to get a meaning fulful relationship. who knows. i think we all know someone who met someone on tinder. >> might be a little -- >> you just dated i think right there. >> what is this tinder you speak

>> but you got date number three in l.a. today, and you're actually going to stop by the tinder headquarters when you're in town. what do you want to ask the founr? >> so i tually was really wondering, i downloaded tinder plus which is really useful for this project because it lets you have multiple locations which obviously when i'm in new york and i need to look for someone in vegas, that was so helpful. but i have to believe if you're just the average person using it, surely that must be for the more casual hook-u-up, you mht say, so i want to see what he thinks about that. >> i'll bet you do. it will be fascinating to have a chance to talk to him as you go date number three.. so you're living through this with two hats, you're going on the dates and also reporting on it. what are the big things you're learning here? >> so i'm actually one of those people like many i knonow that grew up with divorced parents and i'm at that age in my life where everybody always reminds me it's incredibly important for a a life parer you choose, so i'm curious, is my generation

relationship norm where if you're meeting someone online, you have a better perception of who they are, is it going to change the statistic of one in two marriages ending in divorce, it may not but it's something interesting that we're going to find out. >> yeah, that is interesting to think about. ank you very much, erica. ahead, safe travels to l.a. and al of you at home can follow erica's journey. go behind the scenes on our website and weigh in on #teninten on "gma." >> it's fun to be on her journey with her. we want to give a big thank you to the aulani disney resort and spa out there in hawaii. right now, show, we're going to send it over to michael for some "deals & steals." >> all right, thank you, guys. we are n now on throad to the big game, soso this moing's "deals & steals," tory johnson is here with lots of fun ideas that will score a touchdown with your game day gues. so, welcome, tory. >> we're making any day game day so let's start a little over here and it starts down here, because when i think of game day think of robin roberts in her fuzzy slippers. i picked out puppies for you
