good morning, america. donald trump takes aim at hillary clinton. >> and the last person hillary clinton wants to face is me and i mean i know that for a fact. >> as he backs out of the next debate his chief rival says he's ducking him and the president prepares for an epic showdown over his supreme court nominee. breaking news, seaworld's stunning announcement, the end of the orca shows. the park now partnering with the humane society. the tides now shifting. is this the end of shamu? family first. a major league star drops a baseball bombshell walking away from his team and $13 million after management stopped him from taking his son to work. did the team go too far? a royal exclusive. prince harry one-on-one revealing the mission that's changing his life. >> i'm new lucky enough to watch

someone who should be dead run the 100 meters. you want a definition of inspiration, that's probably it. the moment he says almost broke him and why he's being called air legend this morning. and good morning, america. you really enjoyed your time with the prince, didn't you? >> i certainly did. was there last week, spent time with him at his childhood home which is also his current home kensington palace but why he's so passionate about the invictus games coming up. where are our manners. top of the morning to you. happy st. patrick's day and a great crowd with us decked out in green getting in the spirit. >> wow, they are not kidding around. a factoid americans are expected to spent $4.4 billion to celebrate. >> is that all in beer or -- >> that's a lot of green beer. >> exactly. >> corned beef, too. >> true. that is all coming up. we begin with the race for the

white house and donald trump focusing on hillary clinton. she's fighting back and abc's cecilia vega is here with the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning to you. with hillary clinton and donald trump inching closer to those nominations this is starting to sound like a general election fight and the gloves are off. overnight, donald trump targeting the democrats, one in particular. >> the last person hillary clinton wants to face is me. and i mean i know that for a fact. >> reporter: trump releasing this video focusing on hillary clinton, mocking her as a weak leader in foreign affairs showing her barking like a dog. clinton hitting right back in a fund-raising e-mail sent to supporters overnight calling trump a fearmonger saying he would be a dangerous president. we can't risk it. this on the heels of trump refusing to participate in what was supposed to be the next gop debate next week in utah. that prompted ohio governor john kasich to bail too, fox news saying obviously there needs to be more than one participant so

the salt lake city debate can canceled. >> he could have had a direct debate with me and yet donald apparently is ducking. he is afraid of being challenged. the closer we get to a one-on-one battle, the worst donald trump does. >> reporter: well, trump says, quote, we've had enough debates. he says he's going to give a major speech that day instead. hillary clinton not backing down either in that fund-raising e-mail she said after tuesday's big win, she's sure he is starting measuring the drapes in the white house hoping to take him on and hoping to raise cash off a potential donald trump nomination. >> thanks very much. all right, george, now to the other huge political showdown. president obama naming his choice for the supreme court nominating 63-year-old appeals judge merrick garland but republicans vowing not to take action. abc's terry moran is at the supreme court for us right now. good morning, terry good morning good morning. the stakes couldn't be higher politically. this is the showdown of the year in washington.

it'll spill in the presidential campaign and here at the court they are he shorthanded right now and the fight to replace justice scalia could tip the balance of the court for decades. now the battle lines are clear. the president versus the senate republicans. >> i have fulfilled my constitutional duty. now it's time for the senate to do theirs. >> it's the senate's constitutional right to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent. >> reporter: late yesterday a few cracks in the gop wall. some senators say they will meet with judge garland but others as abc's mary bruce learned are adamant. >> any chance of changing your mind? >> none. >> are you any more open to -- >> reporter: merrick garland is 63 years old, one of the oldest nominees ever. a highly regarded judge for 18 years and before that a top federal prosecutor. garland was there in oklahoma city in 1995 as seen here in a new white house video leading

the prosecution of timothy mcveigh, a death penalty case. >> i have this deep feeling about the rule of law. >> reporter: meanwhile, the white house launched a massive pr effort led by this video with family photos and an emotional interview. >> and my father would be very proud. >> reporter: judges aren't supposed to campaign for the supreme court. it's bad form so merrick garland will have to walk a fine line but make no mistake, president obama and the democrats are going to pull out all the stops, put as much pressure on republicans to get him through. >> let's talk to jon karl about it and, jon, let's talk about the senate republicans first. mitch mcconnell hard line not even going to meet with merrick garland but as terry reported some republican senators will meet with him. does that indicate a sign that this could actually go to a hearing? >> i don't think so, george. you do have about ten republican senators who now say they're willing to at least have a face-to-face meeting with judge garland but they are doing that, they've made explicit, most of them, as a courtesy and

indicated there is no chance that they would change their mind on this. the republicans i have spoken to and i've spoken to several republican senator, say that garland would alter the balance of the supreme court. they do not believe and will not agree to even a hearing before the election. >> one of the big questions now, how much of a campaign issue this becomes both in the presidential election, also in these key senate elections. >> reporter: the white house is doing an all-out campaign. you'll sigh a war room here to try to put pressure on republicans that are up for re-election facing tough races and there are several of them, george. they want to either at least pressure them to give garland a hearing or to make them pay a price for denying him. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. >> interesting days and weeks ahead. now to the latest on that american student behind bars in north korea after attempting to steal a political poster. the 21-year-old breaking down in court after a judge sentenced him to 15 years of hard labor. abc's bob woodruff is following the story and joins us from beijing, good morning, bob. >> reporter: well, good morning,

robin. yes, this was a brutal sentence, 15 years in prison just for removing a propaganda poster from a hotel and almost any other country, this would be no more than a minor misdemeanor. but with this conviction, his fate is unclear. this morning, 21-year-old otto warmbier is behind bars in north korea sentenced to 15 years in a north korean prison with hard labor. a visibly shaken warmbier paraded before cameras speaking at his trial wednesday which only lasted one hour. >> i would used and manipulated. plea please. please save my life. >> reporter: warmbier was found guilty of what the government calls subversion, part of the u.s. hostile policy towards north korea. in court they showed this video accusing warmbier of trying to steal a political banner from an area off-limits to foreigners. at the hotel where he was staying with with a tour group.

two weeks ago warmbier tearfully spoke at a government arranged press conference. >> i have made the worst mistake of my life. >> reporter: his family enlisting the help of former governor bill richardson, the veteran diplomat, meeting face-to-face with north korean diplomats tuesday. >> he did a college prank, a mistake. but 15 years to be sentenced, that's crazy. hopefully now after this sentencing it'll mean negotiations can start on his release on humanitarian grounds. >> reporter: now those kinds of negotiations have borked in the past. about a dozen american tourists have been arrested there since 2009. all of them eventually released. hopefully that will happen again soon. robin, george. >> yes, hopefully that will happen. >> you see the agony in his face. >> we move on to the big breaking news about seaworld. the marine park is partnering with the humane society to end their killer whale shows saying their orcas are the last they'll

keep in captivity. we have the story from ryan. >> a dramatic shift breaking this morning. seaworld's ceo announcing to orca breeding and shows. swimming in criticism for the last several years following the death of one of their whale trainers and the release of the documentary "blackfish." >> when you look into their eyes you know somebody is home. >> reporter: but this morning, seaworld's ceo announcing a change in the tides saying all of its signature orca shows will be coming to an end. >> current orcas under our care will be the last generation at seaworld and phase out our theatrical shows. we're ending breeding as of today. >> reporter: and now working with an unlikely ally, the humane society. previously one of seaworld's loudest critics. >> this is something that every animal advocate in the nation can celebrate asrogress.

>> reporter: last year the 51-year-old company announcing it was shutting down their one ocean show in san diego. now other similar acts will follow suit by 2018 including in orlando where trainer dawn brancheau was killed in 2010 by the popular orca tilikum. you think they were the natural result of what happened in 2010? >> it's a lot of things that have happened. that was a very horrific moment for our company. dawn's death is something none of us will ever get over. >> reporter: the 29 killer whales in seaworlds will remain in captivity for their own safety. >> the best place for them is at seaworld. no whale born under human care has been released successfully. >> it's impossible to unring that bell. >> reporter: acknowledging "bla "blackfish" did have an effect. >> society has changed and i think we have to change with it. >> reporter: but they're hoping this is the first step in a long

partnership to help the whales. >> it's not perfect. we do have disagreements, but don't want the perfect to be the enemy of the good. >> we love them. we're trying to do the right thing for them. >> reporter: now, seaworld will now develop, quote, more natural orca encounters using technology to show how whales live and adding cons conservation messaging and they're hoping to become the largest rescue operation in the world. >> what a significant change. >> they needed to change with the times, they said. >> ryan, thanks very much. another change coming up. a major safety announcement. leading carmakers are saying automatic brake systems will become standard features in nearly all cars within the next several years. they added -- the added technology could potentially prevent thousands of crashes and save lives and david kerley is in virginia with the latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we're at a ford dealership and like all new car lots only 1 in

20 of these cars have that technology today blue we learned the government will announce later today that within six years, nearly every one of the brand-new cars will have that new technology. one-third of all crashes is one of these, a rear ender. this morning the government will announce it hopes to cut those accidents dramatically with new technology. it's called auto braking. >> all right, i'm going to play the distracted driving. something we tried on a test track. so i'm getting really close to this obstacle and it just takes over everything. at least carmakers have committed to make auto breakers standard equipment on all cars in six years. in fact, some are already advertising their systems. >> auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection. >> reporter: the insurance institute says that auto braking on all vehicles could cut rear end collisions by 40% and front end crashes by 23%. this morning, carmakers will

agree that by 2022 they'll make auto braking standard on car and midsize suvs and on large suvs and pickups by 2025. the head of auto safety for the government says it could be a game changer. >> 94% of the time humans are the problem. that's why technology is so exciting. it could save their life and the people around them. >> reporter: the government and carmakers agreeing to this, a deal avoids the federal rule-making process. this could add cost to the car you buy six years down the road and beyond but, george and robin, think about it. this is another one of those systems being added to cars that's getting us a step closer to those autonomous drivers. >> i knew that's -- >> people will forget how to drive. >> thanks very much. going to move on to amy with the other big headlines. we cannot forget about the crisis in flint, michigan. >> and michigan's governor is testifying before congress today about the water crisis there in flint. according to prepared remarks governor rick snyder will claim

that a state agency misled him about lead levels in the water and that he didn't learn about the contamination until 18 months after the city switched water supplies. the head of the epa is also testifying today blaming local leaders for the crisis. authorities in paris say they have foiled an imminent terror attack after arresting three men and a woman. the suspects had been under surveillance because of their alleged links to extremists. a rifle and computer equipment were seized. well, the washington, d.c. subway is back open after a 29-hour shutdown for emergency safety inspections which uncovered dozens of frayed or damaged power cables including three that officials say posed a major fire risk. well, new video shows an explosion at this medical marijuana dispensary in new mexico. two workers struggled to escape. the dispensary has been fined $13,000 for safety violations. well, this morning music fans are mourning the sudden death of frank sinatra jr. ♪

his family says sinatra died of a heart attack while on tour in florida. as a teen sinatra followed his father's footsteps into the business becoming his father's musical director and conductor. he was just 72. and finally the owner of a german shepherd named luna had given up hope and presumed his beloved dog was lost at sea after falling overboard during a fishing trip off california back in february. he spent days looking for luna but no luck and then the unthinkable. workers at the navy base on san clemente island off san diego saw a dog on the side of the road wagging her tail and guess what, it was luna! in remarkably good shape considering her ordeal. apparently she is a very strong swimmer. that dog paddle works every time. >> it really does. wow. thank you, amy. >> and that island, beautiful to visit. so hopefully she had a good final and i'm glad she's okay. >> glad to have you back. >> thank you very much, robin. happy to be here and good

morning to you. we do have news on a newly released video of a dramatic prison break. two inmates escaping clinging to a rope as they hang hovering from a helicopter trying to fly away to freedom and abc's linsey davis has the story. >> reporter: while it resembles a slapstick comedy routine this is an actual prison break. watch as these two inmates struggle to freedom via a rope and helicopter hijacked by armed men posing as tourists. a brazen made for the movies escape. not quite as expertly as executed as in this scene in "the matrix." >> got you. >> reporter: the real life events in this video of a 2013 quebec prison break play out more like a comedy of errors, watch as one inmate almost makes it to the top, even gets a hand from a partner in crime only to fall. about a minute later, the chopper tries to take off, but fails. all the while unarmed guards are recording the spectacle

prevented by prison policy from intervening in an escape where guns may be involved. after more failed attempts to get onto the roof and nearly six minutes in, they take off again. this time with the inmates in tow. >> highly unlikely you would ever have an external aerial escape in the united states because we have so many safeguards against it. >> reporter: incredibly almost 15 months after this incident with no additional security measures implemented it happened again. this time three inmates used a helicopter to break out of another prison near quebec city. those fugitives were caught two weeks later. as for these two, their freedom was short-lived. after just a few hours they were captured. for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> thank you. >> why are we not surprised? >> cannot make this stuff up. >> over to ginger. new york, look at that. >> one world trade being struck by lightning. the storms that rolled through the northeast all partin minnesr

her husband recorded. in a taped deposition, heather cole testifying she and hulk hogan whose real name is terry bollea did not know they were being filmed by her husband at the time, radio shock jock bubba clem. >> to the best of your knowledge mr. bollea had no idea that there was a camera in the room at the time of the sexual encounter, is that correct? >> yes. >> reporter: cole saying she slept with hogan at the request of clem. >> you eventually had sexual relations with mr. bollea? >> yes. >> do you recall the number of encounters that you had with him? >> to the best of my knowledge i think three times that i remember. >> reporter: weeks later clem revealing he'd recorded one of their encounters. i do remember being very upset she said but she said they had an open relationship admitting he'd done it before.

>> were any of your sexual encounters with other men recorded during the time that you were married to bubba? >> yes. >> reporter: also wednesday the judge refusing to allow gawker to call clem as a witness before the jury saying he had a credibility problem and citing his plan to plead the fifth. instead, allowing the site's lawyers to read out their questions for clem for the court record. >> mr. clem's meeting with the fbi, including to confirm whether he told the fbi that he, ms. cole and plaintiff all knew plaintiff's sexual encounter with ms. cole was being recorded. >> reporter: a reference to a 2012 fbi investigation related to the tape. sealed by the judge. >> it's white noise. the whole purpose is to distract from why we're here. we're here to recover damages for what they did to mr. bollea. >> reporter: and a dramatic moment when an appeal court ordered the judge to unseal a host of documents connected to

this case including possibly that fbi report. we do expect closing arguments to begin today. george. >> okay, linzie, thanks. let's talk about it with dan abrams and nancy grace. nancy, what did you make of heather's testimony? pretty emotional but did seem to contradict hulk hogan in places. >> i can tell you this. i think she came across as sympathetic and kept going back to she was being embarrassed it was released and hurt by certain things that hulk hogan said in later interviews, even though she seems sympathetic and seemed genuine, it kind of defies logic that if she knew her husband was recording other sexual trysts with other men, what made hulk different? why didn't she know about that? that is a problem for me. >> pretty good point. >> yeah, except the key to me in her testimony is how does it relate to hulk hogan, right? because this is a case largely about damages. and she's saying, no, it's not

true as hulk hogan claims that i was trying to pressure him into having sex, in fact, i was the one being pressured by my husband to do it. if this jury believes that hulk hogan is lying about how this happened, i think that could impact damages because i've said again and again if this jury doesn't like gawker it could -- >> how about the decision of her ex-husband bubba to take the fifth? >> well, that's a critical loss for gawker. for gawker, gawker wants to be able to show, has been wanting to show that hulk hogan knew he was being recorded, because that would be critical when it comes to invasion of privacy if he knows he's being recorded it's different than being recorded without your knowledge. bubba took the video and said on the radio at one point that hulk did know that he was being recorded then he said he didn't know. by him not testifying, gawker doesn't get to cross-examine him, doesn't get to address that question. >> agree with that, nancy?

>> well, i do. in a sense but when somebody takes the fifth amendment you can't force them up on the stand. he's claiming and this is bubba the love sponge clem that if he testifies he could open himself up to incriminating himself and possible criminal charges, so he's not going to take the stand and i'll tell you this, every trial lawyer knows this, sometimes both sides, they want the person on the stand but that person is so volatile nobody will touch him with a ten-foot pole because you don't know what they're going to do on cross-examination and another thing that dan abrams just said, i agree with, and i've said from the get-go, they have to believe hulk hogan because if they decide they don't like hulk or they don't believe him his entire case is right down the toilet. everything. >> gawker wanted him to literally get up there and invoke his fifth amendment self-incrimination in front of the jury. the judge said she wouldn't force him to.

>> dan abrams and nancy grace, thanks very much. coming up -- >> not going to happen. the big baseball bombshell, the player walking away from the white sox and millions of dollars because of his son. what the team is saying this morning. come on back.

world. >> chicago white sox first baseman adam laroche surprised his team -- >> reporter: and walking away from $13 million. all because the white sox team management asked him to stop bringing his 14-year-old son drake to team practices and their clubhouse. at least not every day. the white sox vice president saying all i'm asking you to do with regards to bringing your kid to the ballpark is dial it back. i don't think he should be here 100% of the time and he has been here 100% every day in the clubhouse. laroche announced his retirement on twitter saying thank you lord for the game of baseball and for giving me way more than i ever deserved. #familyfirst. >> he's obviously a man of great conviction so i don't think we're going to necessarily see a change of heart from him. >> reporter: the 36-year-old has played 12 seasons for seven different teams and his son has been with him practically all the time. >> he's been teaching me some things. >> reporter: drake even had a locker right next to his dad's in the white sox's clubhouse but

do kids in the workplace distract you from keeping your eye on the ball. >> every day is too much. i don't care if you're a dad and work at a bank or a newsroom or at the rock quarry, i don't care where it is, every day is too much. it's a workplace. to the a day care. >> it's not about the kid's behavior but just talking to strahan, it's tradition in sports. these guys bring their kids to the locker rooms. >> but every day. >> you saw he had a locker and the guys have to change their behavior in that workplace if a kid is there. >> because it's like wilbon, bringing him every single day. >> they say he might have a change of heart. maybe this was an impulse thing, he got upset and signed the papers to retire. the white sox haven't handed them in yet. >> i hope it works out. >> all right, coming up, everybody, erin andrews is speaking out for the first time since that huge court victory. what she has to say about it

organizer, purse or diaper bag, even on countertops. >> they will find medicine in all kinds of places and found that 23% or one out of four kids were finding and getting into medicine in a pillbox. >> reporter: pillboxes and organizers are not built to keep kids out. i recently sat down with some toddlers and it took this 3-year-old nine seconds to pop it open. you got that one open. >> i was surprised he could open this one. i didn't really think about it. >> reporter: as we found, even child resistant packaging doesn't always work. >> get one open, kai. this 4-year-old opened up a child resistant bottle with just a little tinkering. >> how did this become such a p big problem? >> we're taking a lot more medications and the number of prescription drugs that are being filled as skyrocketed.

about. >> work on picking the racer. >> ten years in the army was the best escape that i've ever had. >> reporter: prince harry's barr back on the front lines of the war on terror. >> i felt as though i was really achieving something. i felt as though i was part of a team. all i wanted to do was to prove to other people that i had a certain set of skills, let's say flying an apache helicopter, frist, rather than just being prince harry, all it's done over those ten years is given me this amazing amount of knowledge and experience where i am now perfectly positioned to be their voice and champion their cause. >> one, two, three. >> to the uk. >> reporter: when he saw wounded veterans in action at the u.s. hosted warrior games in 2013, prince harry was inspired even more. leading him to create the invictus games in london in

2014. >> four, three -- [ cheers ] >> reporter: and now prince harry will host the next games in orlando this may. >> whoo! >> reporter: for prince harry, it was a significant moment after his first deployment that changed his course. >> prince harry is back in britain tonight quickly withdrawn from the front lines of afghanistan after a secret army deployment was revealed. >> i did everything i could to get out of there. literally being plucked out of my team and there was an element of me thinking i'm an officer, i'm leaving my soldiers and it's not my own decision. i was broken and suddenly i find myself on a plane and when i'm sitting there i look through the curtain in the front and there's three of our lads wrapped up in plastic missing limb, one of the guys catching a test tube of shrapnel removed from his head in a coma clutching this thing

and i suddenly thought to myself people don't get to see this. i never -- those ten weeks, i never saw the injury part. only heard about it. that's how it all started for me is like, these people are role models and they need to be celebrated more among society. some of these guys should be dead. never before have we had so many amputees survive from such unbelievably traumatic injuries. i'm now lucky enough to watch someone who should be dead run the 100 meters. you want a definition of inspiration, that's probably it. invictus is so strong. it's about heroic activity. >> reporter: it's not just the physical injuries that concern prince harry. recognizing the mental illnesses that plague veterans is crucial to the recovery process. the invisible injury, i know that's something that's very important to you that people are aware of. >> it's a massive issue. the stigma surround it is a

massive issue. want to re-emphasize the point, it's not a ticking time bomb. psychological illnesses can be fixed if sorted out early enough. we've got to keep the issue at the forefront of people's mind and the simplest thing is talking about it. >> reporter: his personal investment is obvious as seen here with mike goody, a former aircraftman who served in the royal air force. injured when his patrol was hit by an ied he lost his left leg and suffered posttraumatic stress and took five medals in swimming in the 2014 games. what does it mean to have prince harry encouraging you all every step of the way? >> in all honesty prince harry has been a legend literally he was everywhere. we couldn't get rid of him if we tried literally boosting everyone, encouraging, drumming up support and when someone is doing that it's difficult not to get behind it and i think that's

why, you know, as the invictus games came up it exploded into what it's become and growing ever since. >> i understand you have a bit of a tattoo. would you mind sharing what that says? >> i miss my friend with an arrow. >> that's the humor. >> more training. come on. >> reporter: and it's with that infectious enthusiasm and spirit that the prince continues to support the wounded warriors around the globe. it is for now the most important mission of his life. >> i'm not asking it become boring that we constantly go on about our veterans but anybody who serves our country put their lives on the line and can bring themselves back frommen ainjury like that deserves everything from every single one of us. >> and the invictus games orlando 2016 will feature over 500 competitors from 15 nations competing in ten events, all the

athletic competitions will take place at the walt disney wide world of sports complex in orlando. >> he seemed so driven by this. >> he truly is, guys. he really is and the connection that he has with these competitors, it wasn't a photo-op. he spends time with them. >> you see his mother in him in every way when you watch that. >> we'll talk more about that tomorrow, amy. it's so genuine, especially how he is with children as we've seen all around the world. but he is someone that we've watched him grow up. we've watched him grow up. >> he has grown up. >> he really is and the invictus is from a british poem. it means unconquerable and gave me this little pin "i am" which is part of what their motivation is and the young man who had the tattoo said i miss my friend and the arrow and the humor that they have and he said, you know, like kids will come up and say, what -- a conversation. the parents pull them away and he's like to the parents, no, it's okay and that's what they want, to be able to be seen in

the games and they are fit and they're ready to go. >> they are. >> i can't wait. >> tomorrow we talk about his mother. we talk about his dad. we talk mr. his grandmother and, of course, the fact that he is uncle harry, as well. so that is tomorrow? psyched to see it. >> yeah. >> outside to beginer. >> what an inspiring story. thank you, robin. an inspiring little girl. sofia, look at her sign, even though i broke my leg i'm still here to see you and the green braces, too. rth of where you're from heavy rains coming. she is from tampa. we are tracking a storm that could become a coastal storm and bring the potential for snow sunday into monday along the east coast. we'll keep an eye on that all right? yeah. >> reporter: that's the big picture, let's get a check closer to home. >> reporter: all right, ginger looks like we are dry.

hamilton's face with another u.s. history maker on the $10 bill. lin-manuel miranda visited washington, d.c. recently to freestyle with the president a little bit. he also found time to give his two cents on the $10 face change idea and his hit brood blockbuster may have just sealed the deal. not official yet, but lin-manuel miranda shared with fans on twitter that the secretary of the treasury has just told him, quote, you're going to be very happy. >> oh. >> sounds like the $10 founding father lives on! [ applause ] >> you never thought about that. that very well could be part of the reason why. >> it has started a conversation about american history with young kids, with us. it has made history cool and i think we should celebrate the $10 founding father. so thank you, lin-manuel miranda. also you say tomato, i say tomato but it seems scientists

say green energy. researchers at the south dakota school of technology have found the fruit can be a source of energy that could one day be used to power homes keeping residents warm and cold from the head to my toes. >> oh. >> to ma toes. they have developed a micro gel battery that uses the spoiled and damaged fruit to general an electric current and apparently the waste from florida alone could power disney world for three months. researchers believe they will be able to upscale their projects so that one day their resources can catch up to the demand. >> tomato sauce at lara's house. >> going to be like radioactive. all right, finally i'm working on a lot of experiments in there, george.

thursday and you know what that means. >> he deserves to know you. please call him. >> reporter: three uninterrupted hours inside the genius that is shonda rhimes' mind. on tuesday night just before i took the stage to moderate a talk with the entire "scandal" cast at paleyfest in l.a., i caught up with her to talk about her incredible television track record. in a landscape where shows are killed left and right what is the secret? >> i have no idea. truly, i feel really lucky people are watching. it's very exciting to me and every single time it happen, i breathe a sigh of relief. >> how long can it go on? >> well, "grey's" is going to go on forever but "scandal" has an end date in my mind. >> what is it? >> i'm not going to tell you. >> please, because i'll need a lot of therapy. >> maybe one day -- i'll tell you early but not now. do you see how the show will end. >> yes. >> does olivia end up with one of those two men.

a little bit harder. >> and, robin, you nailed me. i was trying to get a part in the show. >> we love the hair and the earrings. >> so inspirational. >> i didn't know about the ted talk. >> the ted talk is worth a listen. >> i'm going to do that. >> what she says is success doesn't equal happiness and you must find it. it's that hum she talks about. she's fantastic. her book is "the year of yes," saying yes, being open to things and a brand-new episode of "scandal." i got to see it already because of that. >> ooh. >> did you? >> oh, my goodness. yeah, there's a lot. tonight, 9:00, 8:00 central on abc. shonda would kill me if i told you anything else so, ginger, tell us the weather? it's going to get a lot colder, let's look at the st. patty's cities. ireland, indiana. 62 degrees, sunshine. the windchills in the 30s in the northern plains. look where it moves, washington, d.c. dropping to 37 tomorrow morning. get ready. that's the big picture, let's

morning. we have easy hacks to save you in a fashion emergency. here with the secret solutions, amy synnott, the executive editor in chief of "instyle" magazine. wonderful to have you here. this is if you're in a hurry and let's say we'll start with jewelry and, you know, you want your bling to kind of shine and you have a little shortcut. start with gold. >> gold is very easy to clean. all you need to do is actually -- you can see this side, half is tarnished. half is not. take a very soft cloth, dip it in the beer. >> in beer. >> then you just rub it on so actually beer as ammonia in it but it's diluted enough it won't damage your fine jewelry. >> lite beer. >> it has to be lite beer because it's the ammonia that gives it the caramel color. >> how about silver? >> so, silver as you can see tarnishes more easily so you need something that's more acidicic so ketchup is great and emerge it for five or ten minutes and the ketchup, the

acids in tomato and vinegar will lift off tarnish. >> what if your color is a link wonky and traveling for business. >> this is fantastic for anyone who hates to iron. it literally takes two minute. make sure your iron is clean, no hair spray. put this setting on low to medium. >> this is a flat iron. for your hair. >> yes, you hold it on the collar. >> a multi-tasker. >> and move it slowly down. this can actually work for any part of your shirt if you have a little bit of a wrinkle then you don't need to worry about the ironing board. >> never thought about that. saves time. >> simple trick. >> shortcut. >> right. >> amy, i've done this recently. but it does help so if you are -- you know, last minute you realize, oh, my gosh, my pants are starting to not fit. there's a little trick. >> i actually did this through both of my two pregnancies and made it all the way through

without buying maternity jeans. >> wow, i did not. >> the trick is you just take the elastic, you loop it through the hole and then you put it on the button. and that -- >> i have to tell you -- my jeans this morning when i put them on, i still had the rubber band on and then i got to take it off. it was a brilliant moment. >> an extra two inches. >> what do you do about the zipper there. there's a little situation there. >> you wear a long shirt. >> okay. >> i got you. >> okay, and so let me show that so you can get an idea. normal pants you can do this for too. >> normal pants. what you want to do is take -- if you have a hook and eye, take the pin, open it up and put it through -- >> oh, we're going to do it right here. >> show it right here. so you take the hook and eye and take this through there, right and take the elastic, hook it through there --

>> so without a button is the fix and another pin and go through the other side. when you really get huge because this will give you five extra inches. >> for the last five weeks or so. >> all really easy tips? we appreciate that very much. what are we doing out here? clive owen is inside with amy and he's coming up live here. no, he's right there. >> hi, clive.
