their face. >> this is actually a real story, the cover of "sports illustrated." it's a real story, a real phenomenon and we will later answer the question. >> all right. >> so you'll weigh in a little more, right? >> why are quarterbacks so attractive. >> they're the only ones put on film with the helmet off. take the helmet off. look at this, people. >> okay. things are a little tense here. they're tense up in new hampshire, as well. those attacks are ramping up two days before the next gop debate right here on abc. donald trump still on top in the latest polls, marco rubio is on the move and in the crosshairs. we'll have all the latest and that scary moment for donald trump coming up. but first we want to get to the massive storm that is sweeping across the country, more tornadoes touching down in the southeast wednesday and then take a look at this surveillance video from a high school in tennessee. the school damaged by the storm and abc's steve osunsami is there for us this morning. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, amy. this is what's left of the

football coach's office at that high school at crockett county high in tennessee. it's destroyed. the ceiling is now on the floor. this morning the national weather service says the tornado that hit here on tuesday was an ef-2 or ef-1, actually, with wind speeds of up to 95 miles an hour, enough to rip the roof off this building and several others here. classes here are now canceled for the rest of this week. >> a tornado warning has been issued. >> reporter: for the second night in a row tornadoes rained down on families in parts of the south. >> it looks like it's almost splitting into two. >> reporter: this one recorded on cell phone tearing through ft. stewart, georgia, the u.s. military base near savannah. sirens and warnings blared on loudspeakers. >> abandon vehicles and trailers. >> reporter: frightened parents and children couldn't believe their eyes. >> oh, my god, taking the roof off houses. >> are we going to die? >> reporter: this morning they have to move 50 people to new homes.

the latest from manchester. >> reporter: good morning. so many developments on the gop side, senator rand paul dropping out, santorum dropping out endorsing senator marco rubio and as you just said, donald trump now accusing senator ted cruz of stealing the iowa caucuses while also learning there are some dangers to campaigning. >> we have an inbound emergency runway is going to be shut down. >> reporter: overnight a scare in the air for donald trump. trump force one forced to make an emergency landing in nashville because of a mechanical problem. >> runway 20, right cleared and -- >> reporter: hitting his campaign stop in little rock eventually. >> my guys said, oh, that's okay, we can go back to new york, mr. trump. we'll come another day, i said, there's no way. i love arkansas. >> reporter: there's also no stopping trump's new attack claiming senator ted cruz cheated his way to victory in iowa. >> what he did to ben carson was a disgrace that he had quit the race.

everyone knew he didn't quit the race. >> reporter: referring to this cruz campaign e-mail sent on caucus day, they cite a press report saying dr. carson is taking time off after iowa. it goes on to say please inform any carson caucusgoers of this news and urge them to caucus for ted cruz. >> it's ott a mistake. he did it on purpose. >> reporter: carson says it hurt his chances in iowa and he's calling for accountability. >> at least those people who are responsible should come out publicly and admit what they did. >> reporter: cruz apologized to carson but is standing by his campaign's actions. will you fire or suspend anyone at your campaign for putting out misinformation. >> no, we're not going to scapegoat anybody and i would note that the news story that our team passed on was true and accurate. cnn reported it. >> reporter: but is it a dirty trick to confuse voters? >> is it a dirty trick to pass on your news story? you're in the business. would you think it was if i forwarded an abc news story or just a dirty trick to pass on

cnn stories? >> reporter: cruz lashing out at trump saying the billionaire is stirring the pot because he lost in iowa. >> well, listen, it is no surprise that donald is throwing yet another temper tantrum or if you like another trumper tantrum. >> reporter: governor chris christie is keeping the pressure on senator marco rubio, christie warning of the dangers of electing another first term senator. >> fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. >> reporter: now, governor christie part of that pool of governors that right now is sort of at the bottom of the polls along with jeb bush and governor john kasich, all campaigning very hard in new hampshire hoping for a ticket to south carolina. george. >> okay, tom, thanks very much. chris christie does join us now from keene, new hampshire, this morning. you're saying marco rubio is barack obama? >> what i'm saying, george, he's a first term united states senator and has had no experience at all of ever managing anything. and that we've tried that once

before and republicans have watched over the last seven years as the president has made this government more and more dysfunctional. we need to make sure we nominate someone who not only can beat hillary clinton but also can manage the government and get it back on the right track once they're elected president of the united states, no need to take those chances, george, on someone who's never managed anything larger than a 0-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 he wants 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 pretty consistently for the last several days. is that pretty much a concession that if you don't beat him on tuesday it's the end of the line for you? >> no, it's not a concession 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 need to make sure we have a candidate who actually knows what they're doing. we need to have a candidate who is willing to take questions from the press in an unguarded way and need to have a candidate that does more than 45-minute drive-by town hall meetings and marco rubio has been the most protected coddled 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. donald 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. you know, i don't think any time in politics when you lose and you ask for a do-over that's something that gives people a lot of confidence in your leadershipable. the results are the results. you move on and but to the next contest and try to win the next

contest, stop focusing on the rearview mirror. >> you have been focusing so 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. how can you change that? >> 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 one "the des moines register" was wrong on donald trump and ted cruz 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 know what happens and make decisions based off that but if

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. thank you. george now to the democrats and hillary clinton and bernie sanders facing some tough questions at a town hall last night. they are, of course, preparing for a big debate tonight and abc's cecilia vega is in manchester with the latest on all of that. good morning to you, cecilia. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. bernie sanders may have the big lead in the polls here but that is not stopping hillary clinton from trying to mark her turf right here in his own backyard. overnight hillary clinton on the hot seat. defending the big bucks she received for paid speeches. >> did you have to be paid $675,000? >> well, i don't know. that's what they offered. >> reporter: even bringing back that famous phrase. >> do you still believe there's a vast right wing conspiracy? >> don't you?

>> i'm asking you. >> yeah. it's gotten even better funded. >> reporter: and clinton still hounded by the one question that just won't seem to go away. >> what will you do to regain that trust? >> i have to really demonstrate as clearly as i can who i am, what i stand for and what i've always done. >> reporter: in bernie sanders' own backyard the vermont senator not holding back either. >> we are taking on the most powerful political organization in the country and that's, you know, the clinton organization. >> reporter: but now just days away from the nation's first primary, clinton and sanders both looking to the future. andsanders and clinton will face off in a debate tonight right here in new hampshire. the dnc announcing there will be six more debates between now and may 1. also in flint, michigan, amy that means this race on this democratic side will not end any time soon. >> all right, cecilia, thanks so much. the democrats are tonight but the next republican debate is

just two days away and "world news tonight" anchor david muir and "this week" co-anchor martha raddatz will moderate it right here on abc, george. we move on to get the latest on the dangerous zika virus spreading to florida where the governor declared a tate of emergency in four counties and ground zero for the outbreak, brazil, is struggling to contain it with prominent voices now calling for this summer's olympics to be cancelled. our dr. richard besser is on the scene in brazil right now. good morning, rich. >> reporter: good morning, george. every four years we look forward to the olympic games and the world coming together. but this year it's different and that's why health officials are so concerned because when the world comes together during a viral epidemic, when people go home they may not go home alone. with millions of tourists in rio for the start of brazil's carnival tomorrow and millions more expected this summer for the olympic games, controlling the zika crisis is more urgent than ever. [ speaking a foreign language ] overnight brazil's president

saying the virus has gone from a distant nightmare to a real threat. the government scrambling to start developing a vaccine but until one is ready, she says, mosquito prevention is their best course of action. now this morning, some who doubt whether brazil can get zika under control by the summer are calling for the rio olympics to be canceled. >> i don't know that it's up to doing the olympics and epidemic control at the same time. mosquitoes are a tough opponent. >> reporter: the u.s. olympic committee tells abc news it is keeping a close eye on the situation and that team usa participants will be made aware of the recommendations regarding travel there especially for olympic athletes like michael phelps whose pregnant fiancee is among the people worried. while the u.s. women's soccer team is focusing on qualifying for the rio olympics, head coach jill ellis tells "the dallas morning news" the zika outbreak

is concerning. over the next two weeks brazil has a trial run for what crowds can do. it's carnival season so visitors are coming from around the globe and also mosquito season when people return home we'll see what happens to the zika epidemic. george and amy. >> that is scary. >> certainly is a lot of questions to be answered there still. now to a big security headline. there was an arrest of three isis sympathizers in germany overnight. authorities conducted raids in three cities including berlin and they've arrested two men and a woman with alleged ties to an algerian group linked to isis and suspected of plotting attacks in germany. and then security, of course, tight in the u.s. as we get ready for the super bowl. the big game just three days away. that is a live look at levi's stadium in santa clara, california, around 75,000 people will be packing in there sunday night and abc's pierre thomas has a look at how the fbi and homeland security are making sure everyone stays safe.

>> reporter: from this heavily armed tactical team preparing to confront terrorists -- >> we're not going to be too far away. >> reporter: to the coast guard deploying speedboats for waterway patrols and big machine guns that fire these bullets, no one taking any chances with this year's super bowl. the potential threat of terror real and present. >> we try to anticipate things that could happen from multiple different directions but we're always inform the by recent events. >> reporter: security always tight for the big game, but this year a joint fbi homeland security threat assessment specifically points to the paris attacks where a stadium full of fans was targeted and the san bernardino massacre as evidence of what could happen during the super bowl. >> i think the achilles heel for us is either an active shooter or a lone wolf terrorist event. >> reporter: bomb-sniffing dogs and undercover police already everywhere and monitors searching for chemical and

biological weapons have been secretly deployed. these x-ray machines are checking every item being delivered from the food to beyonce's wardrobe for the halftime show. during the game, military fighter jets and u.s. customs and border protection blackhawks will patrol the skies hunting for menacing planes and a new potential threat, drones. so many out there, the faa released this super bowl video warning. >> but leave your drone at home. >> reporter: no drones allowed within 32 miles of the super bowl, no one taking any chances. amy. >> all right, pierre, thanks so much. we all know the panthers are getting ready for the big game and another animal in the panther family is making headlines. jaguar. love that transition? >> yes. >> panthers not the jaguars, a real one called el jefe spanish for the boss. he is caught on video, the only known wild jaguar in the united states and was seen --

>> hence the song "one is the loneliest number". >> it's okay to be one because they know jaguars prefer to be alone. they prefer to hunt alone. they prefer to live alone. they believe he's about seven years old and experts are saying that they hope a female jaguar will cross the border from mexico, keep el jefe some company and in turn boost the population in the process. >> we want more jaguars in this country. >> we only have one. we're just trying to hook him up. >> need a little hole in the fence. >> there's an app for that. >> he's lonely. he needs a mate every once in a while. >> i know if he does get a mate he's no longer going to be the boss. that's the way it works around here. temperatures in the upper 50s, yesterday very warm across the warm across the northeast but a wave developing across the front. could see snow from new york to i-95 and heavier snow acouldcros

13-year-old nicole lovell one of the suspect's former teammates is speaking out. we'll tuque to a leading fbi profiler after this report from eva pilgrim. >> reporter: overnight mourners, loved ones and former teachers paying tribute to 13-year-old nicole lovell. her funeral just hours away. >> everybody is going to tell you they're going to miss her smile because she had some kind of, you know, magic. i will miss her potential. >> reporter: two virginia tech students david eisenhauer and natalie keepers behind bars facing charges for her death. >> one in five people don't have jobs. >> reporter: this video on youtube belonging to a student named natalie keepers may be giving us a glimpse at the now 19-year-old more than a year before the alleged murder. authorities say eisenhauer, a former member of the track team was abusing his relationship with the seventh grade girl he chatted with on a message, kik, his teammates stunned by the charges. one writing, none of this had to happen yet i'm left here wondering why it did.

gaige kern posting this open letter to his friend. i hate what you've done but i don't hate you. three lives are now wasted. nicole's family say she vanished last tuesday night. authorities say she was murdered the next day. saturday her body was found more than 80 miles away in north carolina. the sheriff saying eisenhauer choosing that location because he's familiar with the area. it's about two miles from a home owned by his extended family. nicole's death robbing her middle school friends of their small town innocence. >> there is still a lot of sadness going on, still some of her best friends still are just kind of scarred by it. >> reporter: for "good morning america," eva pilgrim, abc news, blacksburg, virginia. >> thanks to eva for that joined by dr. mary ellen owe toole. thanks for joining us this morning. so on the outside david eisenhauer, star athlete, star student, as well, now charged

with first degree murder. how do you characterize it? >> well, someone as successful as he was and as admired as he was, it tends to be even easier to hide or obfuscate. >> easier. >> criminal behavior. sure, people don't question it. what we call in the fbi like 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 peopteam 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 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 and i think that ability really played into this case with both 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 looking at who else could have been involved, 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 looking for that. >> so much planning. dr. o'toole, thanks very much. >> so chilling. all right. now to that manhunt under way for a couple called the real-life bonnie and clyde wanted for a string of robberies and kidnappings across the south

considered armed and dangerous and linzie janis has that story. >> reporter: in their facebook photos they appear to be a typical loving couple. but this surveillance footage offers a very different perspective on the duo many are calling the 21st century's bonnie and clyde. watch as blake fitzgerald and brittany nicole harper rob a gas station in georgia, force the cashier into an suv then drop her off at a nearby exit. the incident just one in a series of armed robberies the couple is believed to have committed throughout the southeast over the last week. police say it began at this hotel in tuscaloosa, alabama, where they took the hotel clerk hostage. >> i just wanted to get them out of the hotel as quickly as possible. >> reporter: then they were off to hoover, alabama where they tried to carjack the manager of a mcdonald's. >> i'm blessed. i could have been dead. >> reporter: the couple both with long arrest records seemed to have been mocking law enforcement in recent days,

brittany posting, i wasn't planning on going for a run today but those cops came out of nowhere. friends begging the couple to turn themselves in. this is so crazy, writes one of brittany's friends. i don't want you to die but i'm afraid you are headed in that direction. >> really scared what the outcome will be. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linzie janis, abc news, new york. >> and our thanks to linzie for that. coming up next, bernie madoff back in the headlines inside his life and what we're learning about his wife ruth after that multibillion dollar scam. n our own reality. with our heads in the clouds. like a bunch of space cadets. huh? what? i've drawn a blank. what's my line?

back now with the latest on the bernie madoff scandal. abc's new miniseries putting his fraud scheme and downfall back in the spotlight. this morning's brian ross has the inside look at how the madoffs are living today and what's happened to all those missing billions stolen from victims. good morning, brian. >> reporter: to the surprise of many it was announced this week a huge chunk of that money

stolen by bernie madoff has now been recovered. some $11 billion of the $17 billion originally invested and the search is on for even more with the final lot of bernie and ruth's goal and emerald jewelry up for auction online today. every morning bernard madoff wakes up at this federal prison in north carolina where he is serving a 150-year sentence. prisoner number 61727054 who once had billions in the bank now works as a delivery boy in the commissary where he makes less than a dollar an hour. his former cell mate j.d. wind feel in for bank robbery says madoff is relieved to be in prison. >> i think he was glad to be caught. i think he was just, you know, tearing him up inside what was going on. i think he was glad for it to come to a close. >> reporter: madoff in the blue jumpsuit has maintained many of his investors should actually thank him. in his one recorded interview with "new york" magazine. >> did i make a lot of money for people, yeah, i made a lot of

money for people. >> reporter: madoff's wife ruth now lives alone in a one bedroom rental apartment in connecticut seen in this new video at the grocery store, no limo. no domestic taff to help her but to the outrage of her husband's victims, the government allowed her to keep $2.5 million to live on. this week the u.s. marshals put the final lot of ruth's jewelry up for auction after earlier selling off her half million dollar diamond ring. >> sold at $550,000. >> reporter: and the family's new york penthouse, the homes in palm beach, the riviera and on the ocean in the hampton, all that's left of the madoff legacy is a huge warehouse full of boxes and boxes of the phony documents used to pull off his massive ponzi scheme. we were the first outsiders allowed inside. this is what? >> his blackbook. >> his chair. where the king of all scams sat for so many years. and we also saw bags and bags of shredded paper, documents the

fbi says madoff destroyed to hide the scale of his crime. >> had he shredded a lot of these boxes, the case against him would have been very, very difficult. >> reporter: he wouldn't be serving the rest of his life in prison. >> he would have gone to jail for something but maybe not 150 years. >> and as to the question of whether ruth knew what was going on, she has repeatedly denied she knew anything about it and has never been charged with a crime but she is a tragic figure. her husband will die in prison and her two sons are already dead, one by suicide, the other from cancer a year and a half ago. >> i think a lot would be surprised she got to keep $2.5 million. >> many of the victims are very upset about that but they felt that was the best they could do and negotiated strongly for that and bernie, by the way, is in charge of the remote in the day room at the prison so he's likely going to be watching out the coverage. >> is he very interested in his own coverage. >> extremely interested. >> thank you so much. tune in tonight for the abc miniseries "madoff":00 followed

best-looking dudes on the they're the face of the nfl. faces aren't bad either so easy to see why many associate the role of quarterback with good looks. >> tom brady at the highest level but it's also the good-looking high school kid dating the cheerleader. >> but are they really the most attractive players on the field? john wertheim and sam summers 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 charles woodson. >> 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 seemingly has all the power on 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. you need a little bulk in your life. >> we love you, stra.

social media and among those portrayed in the series. >> we the jury in the above entitled action find the defendant orenthal j. simpson not guilty of the crime of murder. >> reporter: for the father of ron goldman murdered alongside nicole brown simpson mixed emotions. >> 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 thing. 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 mocking his portrayal in a new york daily news he say writing i'm talking scenes where that ridiculous blond wig is rearing its ugly head which were completely fabricated. >> talking about the mother of my children dying and they're asking me these questions. >> anybody watching it especially the generation who never knew of this case at 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 through that courtroom ordeal. marcia clark said it was like reliving 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 the actors i interviewed. cuba gooding jr. thought, okay, good, o.j. got justice but in filming this he broke down in tears once because he never really thought as much about the victims so even the actors themselves have been transported by it in where were you? >> everyone knows where they were during that bronco chase. it's really remarkable. >> we'll be watching 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 last for a couple of months. that's the sad thing. >> do you think he'll watch? >> 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. somehow 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 think anybody from o.j.'s side 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, football player. you know, when he 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 people. he's become real isolated. institutionalizing himself. every time he talks to somebody it brings back the outside and then he has to reinstitutionalize himself so he really likes to be left alone. you know, when we have friends that go visit him, he'll visit them for a minute 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 football and the 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 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 in vegas when he went into that room. he knew better, he called me and i told him don't go in there but he did it because he doesn't understand things. he's like a child. when we handle 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 morning. >> all right, thank you. >> amy. >> all right, george. to you to a big headline for parents this morning about your kids and all that screen time. experts are now saying, yes, it could hurt their very many and one mom is trying to turn it all around with her new movie "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 question. 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. >> what would 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 producing chemical. >> reporter: kids spend nearly 6.5 hours on screens not including screen time for classroom or homework. screenagers find plenty of parents sharing the struggle from parents frustrated by the teens' selfie 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 unlimited 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 bullying and screen addiction making so many of us really just because they're hanging out in their rooms doesn't mean they're fully safe. >> they're in another world inside there. thank you so much, reena. >> thanks, reena. we are on the road to the big game three days to go until super bowl 50 and we've got an exclusive sneak peek. if you don't want to see the commercials before the big game close your eyes right now. a brand-new ad that will have you dancing through the decades with pepsi and singer janelle monae. take a look. ♪ do you love me i can really move ♪ ♪ do you love me i'm in the groove ♪ ♪ don't go for second best baby ♪ ♪ put your love to the test ♪ you know you know you got to ♪ va, va, v acha ba, ba, ba, ba
