trail is going cold. ♪ the green light i want it ♪ and sweet 16. >> the dream is about to be coming reality for south carolina. >> south carolina stunning duke sending them home with an amazing rally overnight. michigan crashing the party. knocking off a powerhouse. why the heart of break of this crying northwestern fan is going viral this morning. ♪ the green light i want it and good morning, america. happy first day of spring. doesn't feel like it out there at all. look at everybody outside. still cold here in new york. but it has begun a little at 6:28 or 6:29. >> i just want it to be warm. you mow what, don't we all feel bad for that poor northwestern fan, so upset at the loss there.

but it is kind of like, well, basically the opposite right there. north carolina -- >> i did feel bad for him until he swore. >> i was trying to move on but that then that happened. basketball is serious business. south carolina are celebrating. what an amazing win overnight. i love this look at campus right there. erupting in cheers after they took down duke. >> for every crying, cursing child there is somebody smiling on the other end and the university's president was, he was so excited but not as excited at the students but not so excited toen cassell classes and tweeted sorry to disappoint but classes not canceled. >> aren't they optional. >> i went to every class every day. >> sure, you did. >> first a live look at the

capital. high drama in congress. two public showdowns with president trump's supreme court nominee facing his first confirmation hearings in the senate. >> the fbi director james comey set to testify before the house intelligence committee about russia, meddling in the election and president trump's explosive wiretapping allegations. our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas starts us off in washington with all of that. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, amy. in just a little while fbi director james comey is due here on capitol hill. and one of the most anticipated hearings in recent memory. a day that could poison his relationship with the white house. >> director comey, have you seen any evidence that president obama wiretapped -- >> reporter: after two weeks of refusing to comment fbi director james comey is expected to say publicly what he's been telling top congressal budgets privately that the wiretapping of trump tower by president obama did not happen. it creates the impression the fbi did something illegal and after the justice department

gave a classified briefing on capitol hill friday, even members of trump's own party said there was no evidence to support his claims. >> was there a physical wiretap of structure? no, but there never was and information we got on tri continues to lead us in that direction. >> any evidence that he ordered an illegal wiretap of president trump. >> no. >> reporter: calling for trump to apologize. >> it never hurts to say you're sorry. >> you think the president should say he's sorry. >> i think so. >> reporter: on friday in a preference conference president trump didn't back down. >> as far as wiretapping, i guess by, you know, this past administration, at least we have something in common perhaps. >> reporter: trump referencing the obama administration's reported tapping of merkel's phone. as for comey, today's hearing marks another pivotal moment for one of the most powerful and controversial fbi directors in recent history.

comey, of course, a man who many democrats blame for hurting hillary clinton's chances for the presidency with his closing and then re-opening of the investigation into her use of a private e-mail server just days before the election. and the wild card no one knows how trump will react to a high ranking official in his own administration saying he was wrong. george. >> okay, pierre, thanks very much. more from our chief white house correspondent jon karl. our congressional correspondent mary bruce and, jon, let me begin with you. pierre is right. we don't know exactly how president trump is going to respond but he is up early this morning giving some clues. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. what the white house will do on this, what the president will do, george, is deflect. take away from the story on the wiretapping and look at other angles. we've seen three tweets this morning and this shows you what the president is thinking on this, the first, he says, james clapper and others stated there was no evidence that potus co-colluded with russia. the story is fake news and everyone knows it. here's the point on that.

the fbi as far as we understand produced no evidence there was any collusion between the trump campaign and rugs. the president will focus on that, not the fact that there's no evidence on wiretap. >> he wants to focus on that and leaks as well and change the subject but is the white house really going to be able to hold that ground of not backing down from the statement after the fbi director says publicly it's just false? >> reporter: george, i see absolutely no indication that the president will admit he was wrong on this or let alone apologize to president obama. i see no evidence they will back down. they will try to move away, deflect, look at other aspects of the story but i don't see any chance that this president says i was wrong. >> and mary bruce, there are other aspects to the story. the committee hoping to get into that as well. >> reporter: lawmakers, george, are looking here to lay out in public how russia interfered and meddled in the election. now, as jon mentions there is no smoking gun to suggest that the

trump team colluded with russia. that's not going to stop democrats from digging further and look for any potential eye t -- ties or links while the russians want to shift it to the leaks and argue those are the real crimes here. >> on another front that battle over health care. speaker of the house paul ryan suggesting more changes may be coming to the bill as he tries to get a vote on this thursday. >> reporter: yeah, the speak er realizes in order to get it through they have to make changes now. they're looking to boost some of the benefits for older american, also possibly making changes to the medicaid provisions but the concern here, george, any changes that you make to satisfy the opposition in the house may actually make it harder for this bill to get through over in the senate. >> meantime, jon, the white house not so concerned about the senate right now because they know what the cost of a loss in the house would mean this week. >> reporter: one step at a time, george. that's what the legislative affairs team at the white house

is saying. they think they can get a victory in the house. they know it will be a very hard fought victory but if they lose in the house the senate is irrelevant. all of the focus passing that big test and acknowledge they don't know what happens next if they can get it through the senate they don't know where the votes are but believe the president has to repral, therefore, he will. >> thanks very much. confirmation hearings for neal gorsuch getting under way and terry moran who covered supreme court confirmation hearings for more than two decades is there and there's been a seven-week buildup to these hearings. what can we expect? >> reporter: good morning. i will tell you what you can expect in a hyper partisan washington, high intensity and hard fought but in some ways the most shocking thing about it is how normal it's going to be. this is probably the smoothest operation the trump presidency has launched, his nomination. he's an establish many

conservative, he has come through harvard and oxford and the bush administration and while democrats are going to press him very hard on flash point issues like president trump's attacks on the judiciary and on the immigration ban, what will really happen in there i think is a very typical supreme court hearing especially given that the chairman of the committee senator grassley and the ranking democrats senator feinstein two of the most senior senators are old school and keep a lid on things in there. >> terry, the supreme court has been down a justice for more than a year since the passing of justice scalia and the balance of the court is at stake. >> he is a conservative replacing a conservative but really what in this is kind of a dry run for both sides, for the next retirement that they anticipate, perhaps justice kennedy, perhaps justice ginsburg, we never know, of course, and that would be the real war for the supreme court. this is important but i think they'll keep their powder dry until the next one comes along.

>> terry moran, thank you. george. >> we go overseas for the latest on the nuclear threat from north korea. the regime announced this weekend it is testing a new engine that could fuel a nuclear missile and that drew a sharp response from president trump on sunday. >> that meeting on north korea he's acting very, very badly. i will tell you he's acting very badly. >> reporter: more from martha raddatz in washington. these comments from the president come after secretary of state rex tillerson raised the possibility of a military strike against north korea during his trip to asia last week. >> reporter: tillerson said the trump administration has mott ruled out a preemptive strike against north korea, which means they could try to take out a missile before it leaves the launchpad or disrupt a nuclear test. but despite strong words and warnings from the trump administration, or perhaps because of them, the provocations from north korea are going ahead full steam. this latest test of that rocket engine shows significant progress towards building more powerful long-range missiles.

north korea trying to perfect a missile capable of reaching the united states with a nuclear warhead. this latest test coming just hours before secretary tillerson met with chinese president ji and seeming to test the red line that the both have drawn. >> china could be a key partner in taking on the threat and appears that the chinese leader and secretary of state tillerson found some common ground over the weekend. >> yeah, as you know, george, with diplomacy what is said in public is often very different than what is said in private. the chinese want to maintain a good relationship with north korea and they strongly object to the kind of missile defense system that the u.s. may deploy if north korea keeps this up, george. >> okay, martha raddatz, thanks very much. to michael. >> all right, thank you. turning now to that record heat in new fire concerns that the dangerous wildfire tears through colorado forcing hundreds of people to evacuate.

clayton sandell on the scene in boulder, colorado and good morning to you, clayton. >> reporter: you can see police still have the streets shut down here because right now it's just too dangerous to let anybody back in. >> the wildfire in the area of sunshin canyon drive and timber trail. >> reporter: they're working to stop a wildfire. >> it really is very thick and even through the mask i can smell it. >> reporter: the flames torching the team rocky mountain foothills west of boulder, colorado. >> a lot of the fire perimeter is very remote and it's going to be difficult to try to get water up there. >> reporter: hundreds of firefighters are battling the blaze getting help from the air, planes dropping fire retard aptsz and helicopters using waters from nearby lakes. 426 hopes evacuated when the flames began spreading early sunday. people living in another 836 homes told to be ready to go. >> i've been just hanging out and wondering if we're going to lose our neighborhood or not and so far the firefighters have

been amazing and the volunteers and so we owe a lot of gratitude. >> reporter: investigators now trying to find out thought it started. >> we've been able to rule out things like lightning strikes or weather reeled, downed power line, things like that. that causes us to speculate that it's human caused. man-made. >> reporter: right now this fire is at 50% containment as long as that number continues to go up these road blocks will come down and hopefully people will be able to go home soon. >> thank you. let's go to ginger with more on the fire dangers and record heat. >> more record will be records will be broken or tied. i want to show you images out of boulder. unfortunately could happen again. an elevated risk, ft. collins up towards southeastern wyoming. oklahoma city included that we're concerned about humidity, less than 20% and down to 10%. that is super dry. you add that to the winds and the close to record heat and

now a friend of diggs is speaking out for the first time on this go fund me page about how brittany diggs freed herself. she says it was all thanks to the light from her insulin pump. janice robinson writing on this page that with the help of her insulin pump she was able to find the lever, jump out and save her life. according to the page, the goal is to help diggs raise money to move because she no longer feels safe at home. robinson writing this stranger took everything from her, brittany has nothing to lose but also nothing to come back. now, the good news is if this happens to you shouldn't need any light because every car built since 2002 as a flow in the dark release handle for exactly this reason. as for the kidnapper, michael, this morning we know he's still at large. >> wow. i hope they catch him soon. to madness around here. t.j. holmes. >> i'm nervous. >> i know you're in this brack and it's probably busted because

some of the top seeds were sent home only the second round. you have more. >> mine's perfect. i just fill mine out as bego. you have 60 to 100 million brackets filled out online through espn tournament challenge, yahoo! and other places. out of those we have exactly sear that are still for perfect. then saturday and sunday rolled around and everybody's bracket went bust. >> no one is willing warren buffett's money. >> roll my piece out. duke came in hot. a second seed and favorite that many thought could go all the way. >> a three-point hit for matt jones. >> reporter: but then the blue devils ran into south carolina. >> what a pass. >> reporter: the gamecocks had not won an ncaa game in over 40 years but when you score 65 points in the second half. >> up ahead, mackey and mackey with a two-handed jam. >> reporter: have an upset for

the ands. >> never gave in to losing and we weren't going to give in. it's a beautiful day for our state. beautiful day for our fans. >> reporter: another upset involving a number seven seed over a number two. the university of michigan rallied from an eight-point halftime deficit to beat louisville. >> drives in the basket. >> the sixth trade for the maize and blue since their plane slid off a runway in a windstorm and this weekend saw the first number one seed to fall. as eighth seed wisconsin knocked out the defending champs, the villanova wildcats. >> nigel hayes. this crying youngster staid it saul. their run came to an end at the hands of one seed gonzaga. he wasn't the only fan who had trouble coping with the loss. check out the wife of the wichita state coach. seen in this kentucky sports

radio twitter clip getting the crowd worked up. >> come on. >> she's okay. >> it's his wife. but this tournament challenge to let you know, somebody went 39-0 in a perfect bracket this year. that's the longest streak we've ever seen the reason that first round wasn't that hard to predict not a lot of major upsets but now everybody is going bust. >> you didn't expect to see duke lose. north carolina won and tough against your arkansas razorbacks. >> it was a rough day at the house yesterday. >> so close. >> i'd rather get blown out. >> smiling this morning. >> back to ginger. >> i knew i should have filled out a brack. i could have just randomly picked something. so the low level jet is is just cranking and that's why you see bigger hailstones as spring officially begins in illinois. the flash flood warnings. severe thunderstorms could come with it as the let's get to your select cities brought to you by power rangers, rated pg13.

about russian interference in the election and he's expected could address president trump's wiretapping claims. confirmation hearings for the president's supreme court pick judge neal gorsuch are starting this morning when he will face the senate for the first time. >> yeah, it is a big day on capitol hill. we'll get the latest on that manhunt in tennessee where a former teacher abducted his student. neither has been seen since last monday when police say he took the girl and went on the run with two handguns. eva pilgrim has more from tennessee. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is where the two met. he was a teacher at this school. it's here where their alleged relationship started. tips coming in from dozens of states but authorities say they have no idea where this teacher has taken the girl. this morning the frantic search intensifying for a missing tennessee teen and her former teacher accused of kidnapping her. authorities now sending out a nationwide alert saying the student is in imminent danger. >> we really miss you. i miss you.

please, please come home. >> reporter: school officials confirming that 50-year-old tad cummins was 15-year-old's elizabeth thomas' science teacher and now accused of having an inappropriate relationship, a claim he denied and the family attorney giving us the investigate erv report saying a student walking into mr. tad cummins witnessed mr. cummins kissing beth thomas. thomas was removed from the class while they investigated. but the attorney for the thomas family says her father was never alerted by the school and that he found out about the alleged incident instead almost two weeks later when sheriff's deputies called to ask him questions. all the while mr. cummins was still teaching at the school. who said they could not corroborate the kissing accusation. >> on the 6th of february we sent a letter to the central office and that day mr. cummins was suspended.

>> reporter: investigators say days before the two disappeared cummins used his suv to get $4500 cash. thomas was last seen at 7:30 a.m. march 13th in a restaurant in columbia, tennessee. >> planned this for some time before disappearing with elizabeth. >> shortly after surveillance video shows him filling up his silver suv at a nearby gas station and tracked them to deindicator. the teacher's own wife going before cameras with a desperate plea. >> tad, this is not you. this is not who you are. we can help you get through this. >> reporter: we have reached out to the school. we have not heard back a comment. meanwhile, authorities say they do think that the pair are still in the u.s. but may have changed their appearance. george. >> okay. eva, thanks very much. let's talk more about it with brad garrett, also nancy grace

is with us. the trail goes cold in alabama a week ago. this he could be anywhere. >> they could be but think about this. you're a fugitive on the run with a 15-year-old. where can you go? how well have you planned this? i'm concerned it's been a whole week with no good leads so they've either isolated themselves or something bad has happened. >> that's a problem. the trail really does seem to have gone cold. the tips are not coming in anymore. >> the trail is cold. the last they were seen it was 3:06 in the afternoon in decatur, alabama. i am looking at this guy's social media. he's posting a lot of pictures of the panhandle, the beach and if you look at his direction from where he started, he could get there via decatur. now, they're not using their atms, not using debit cards. may have ditched the car and i guarantee you they have changed their appearance. he's off the grid.

this took planning. there is evidence he got a title loan on his car for $5,000 just before this happened. there was an assignation. she was right beside that gas station at a shoney's which is a restaurant chain right beside the gas station if you look at that video you see him turning out and peeling left right back to the shoney's so this was all orchestrated. >> nancy, you say it was orchestrated and we know a student saw them kissing. >> i'm burned up about that. that school knew. january 23. now, the reason the school says they couldn't corroborate it is because both cummins and her thomas said, oh, it didn't happen. it may have just been a peck on the cheek. that was their investigation? but that's water under the bridge. according to police, he's got two guns. i'm worried that this is a romeo/juliet scenario where it could go horribly wrong. >> brad, there is this concern, investigators say he was

grooming her. >> grooming means you target somebody that's vulnerable. you look for their needs that they're not getting from home, you pay them a lot of attention and tell them beautiful and so you sort of transcend into an inappropriate relationship that turns to sex many times and what happens is they use two things, they isolate the person and they use secrecy to hold the relationship together. >> right and, nancy, we saw cummins' wife comes out. does he have any ears to hear that right now. >> you know, i guarantee you he's holed up in some motel watching you, george, right now and another thing, this whole grooming aspect, your expert is correct because if you look at one of her last posts and i believe it was the morning she disappeared she writes, every beauty needs her beast to protect her from everyone but him. this guy has tricked her into believing he is her protector when, in fact, he is her kidnapper. >> then, brad, if nancy is right, if he's watching tv somewhere, is there anything

anybody can say that will get through to him? >> i don't think so. i think the problem with this relationship, george, is there's no good ending to this. he either gets arrested and goes to jail for a long time or decides he is -- he's burned his life. he lost his job so the idea that he could do something very desperate to both of them i think is real. >> it is a scary situation, nancy, brad, thanks very much. coming up next in two minutes those new concerns about white house security and then the big changes coming to netflix that have a lot of users fired up when we come back.

over a week. a man driving this car to a secret service checkpoint near the white house on saturday, allegedly telling an officer there's a bomb in the trunk and saying this is a test as he was taken to the ground. emergency vehicles swarming the street. no bomb was found. the suspect arrested. earlier that day another incident at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, after an intruder jumped over a bike rack barrier along the north fence of the white house. he didn't make it over. sources tell abc news he wanted to deliver a letter to someone in the administration. >> you don't want them to think they can go and deliver a letter to the president by jumping the fence. >> reporter: the president was inside the residence last week when secret service found an intruder on white house grounds. authorities say jonathan tran jumped a fence at the treasury department, vaulted another fence around the white house, hiding behind a pillar on white house grounds before he was found and arrested at the south

portico. the secret service says tran was on the grounds for 16 minutes. >> i thought we had learned some lessons but this is perhaps the worst one i've seen. >> reporter: a letter from congressional investigators say tran may have triggered alarms the secret service ignored and that tran not only moved an the white house grounds undetected, but may have also attempted to enter the building. >> he got to the white house literally jiggling the door. >> reporter: the series of incidents leading to questions about whether one of the most secure sites in the country is secure enough. a security redesign of the white house fence is in the works, one of the changes to come, raising the fence from 8 feet to more than 13 feet. >> if having the security where it's at right now isn't working from deterring people from trying then you have to move the security layer further out so they don't even get to that fence. >> reporter: and not just the white house, there were also questions about security this weekend at mar-a-lago, take a look. this guest tweeting a photo of

>> he didn't show up with clothes on. >> brave. >> i want to say that i think -- maybe there was maybe like 90% of that scene that the general public did not see because we were -- there is somewhere. >> but you just said that. >>s there he are some lost tapes of this guy doing amazing things. >> love karaoke. >> yes. >> which amy and i love to hear, he hear. what is your go-to song. >> i've got a surprising strong falsetto voice. >> whoa. didn't see that coming. >> something you don't know about me. so probably prince's kiss. there was this famous "magic mike" one. we went to this bar in tampa, florida. di prince's kiss and followed up

his unforgettable run when he became the youngest masters winner ever. welcome. >> thank you so much. >> 20 years ago. >> hard to believe. >> hard to believe because i was there. i was there. and do you know for when you look back at that green jacket, a 21-year-old what goes through your mind. >> my clothes didn't fit. so baggy. it was a different era but it was hard to believe that, you know, i was able to pull that off and there's so much great stories and great memories from that week, that i share with everyone in the book. >> not only pull it off you won a 12 stroke, unheard of. we have a great picture of you after the tournament when you fell asleep. yeah, show this picture of when tiger fell asleep. look at you, man. >> that's not about falling asleep. i celebrated.

[ applause ] i love that. >> you put yourself to sleep in a certain way. i was reading a book yesterday. one thing i loved about the book it's so much about your father and a lot of the lessons he taught you and reminds me about the relationship with my father. for you all the things your father taught you what are some of the most memorable? >> i think that well care and share, you gout of what you put into it. there's so many things he taught me over the years. i actually still pass on to my kids and being present with my kids. my dad would always make sure when we talked he'd never sat above me. always made sure he was eye level and always talked to me, not down to me and i always did the same thing, kneel down and make sure we're the same level it's amazing the bond you can build that and my dad that with me and i'm trying to do it with my kids. little small things like that. >> speaking of kids when you were -- you were on "the mike

douglas" show when you were a tiny tot hitting golf balls. i mean, look at this. what do you think of that swing? >> what about that hair? >> it was about the hair. >> serious hair. >> did you think you had game back then. >> i didn't know. i'm 2. so i don't know anything but only thing i remember from that show was the amount of food in the back room. i've never seen that much food in my life and it was eye opening. >> and i know you battled some injuries recently and you've had to pull out of some tours. do you think you'll play and get a chance to play in the masters. >> god, i hope so. i'm trying everything to get back and try to play. i love that event. it's meant so much to me, the first major i ever played back in '95 and so -- >> as a college student. >> as a college student so it has so much history and meaning to me that i love to get back. >> you've had so many challenges but you think physically or

mentally you're able to get back to the point where you can compete on a consistent basis. >> i need to get back physically. i know that the mind is sharp. i just need to get the body willing to do it. that's the hard part is getting the prep time in and i haven't been able to get as much prep time in. hadn't been vrabel to train like i used to, practice like i used to so it's been harder and, you know, my priorities have changed a lot. my kids now dominate nye life and, you know, i think that's a good thing. >> i think everybody is hoping and wishing you'll compete in the masters because it makes it that much better. [ cheers and applause ] really does. and -- >> thank you. >> you write about your secret weapon, the cocoon of concentration. what is that? >> i just get into my own little zone, my own little world and there really is nothing that is outside of that. i get so dialed into what i'm doing that it feels like time slows down and i feel very comfortable in that moment.

it's crazy to kind of i guess be in that position but -- it feels like -- whether it's a zobrist or you perceive it different ways. it may be happening quick but is happening slowly and it's neat. >> slow for you and fast for everybody else. you better get into that because i want to challenge you to a putting contest. come on, buddy. let's go do this. we got our judges here. >> okay. >> this may be a little one for you. >> i just need one club. >> 30 seconds on the club. six balls. what was that? >> nothing. >> sara and jesse, you're our judges. >> despite having a lot of experience on the golf course we're providing color commentary and talk in our golf whispers. >> do we have to whisper. >> putters, get ready.

>> don't screw this up, michael. >> pressure. >> putt. >> all right. right away. michael strahan. oh my gosh. >> not so hard, michael. less, less, woe. >> you know. >> don't sound so disappointed in me. >> you're tied right now. aim for the hole now. >> putting with a 5 iron. >> ooh. michael. >> that's three for michael. tiger oh. time is up. >> and it is a -- wait, wait. >> one ball left for tiger. yes! >> wow. >> i mean it's close but tiger took it. >> take that trophy. you deserve it. put it next to your masters jack.
