We have breaking news overnight. Apple is refusing to follow a Government Order to hack the San Bernardino shooters phone. The fbi believes important clues about accomplices and more plots could be hidden on the phone but apple says complying with the vernment order could endanger everyone with an iphone. Abcs Pierre Thomas has all the latest from washington. Good morning, pierrere reporter good morning, george. Its a showdown between the fbi and apple. The fbi trying to force apple to open that iphone as it hunts for clues in the San Bernardino massacre. Apple saying no way and this morning a federal court is weighing in. A federal judge in california ordering apple to help the fbi unlock an iphone used by syed farook who went on a murderous rampage with his wife leaving 14 dead in San Bernardino. We still have one of those killers phones we have not been able to open and its been over two months still working on it. Reporter the ruling could be a key victory in their longrunning battle with apple the governments ability to access encrypted data on smartphones and tablets. Apple vowing to appeal and saying it would put the privacy of hundreds of millions at risk and telling us overnight the government is asking apple to hack our own users and fear this demand would undermine the very freedoms our government protects. The fbi has been unable to get into the smartphone because it did not have farooks numerical code to open the device. Ten unsuccessful attempts would cause it to erase key data and make the phone permanently inaccessible. The battle is the traditional one between the security of society and the cost of individual privacy. Reporter but that security feature a critical roadblock. The fbi has been unable to get inside to look at texts or emails which might help them determine who farook and his wife might have been communicating with and where they might have traveled before the massacre. Investigators are despspate to 18minute gap between the attack and the couples deadly encounter with law enforcement. The couple allegedly swore legiance to the leadad of isis and the fbi wants to know the extent of isis involvement if any. That phone may hold the critical answers but the security on that phone is precisely what customers want if their phone is stolen or lost so privacy versus security in a legal fight that could go all the way to the Supreme Court. George. Lets talk to our chief legal analyst dan abrams about this. Such a momentous case, dan and apple is likely to be under tremendous pressure. What does the law require . Up to this point the Legal Standard has been reasonable technical assistance, right. Helping with a password is no big deal but now these new phones have become so technologically advanced that at this point, to offer the assistance that the government needs, they haha to literally create a whole new system to back door these phones and apple is basically saying, look, once get out and as a rult, everything weve built in terms of protecting security and privacy is going to be out the door so this is one of those ultimate battles between the governments right to get nformation for an ininstigation versus typically its the media fights very often for the right to know, here you have apple saying its the privacy our users. Adding the argument it could endanger people with iphones, as well. The minute they create this, they say, its going to get out and as a result, no one is going to be safe is what apple is saying. Really interesting situation. Fascinating. Thank you. Now to the race for the white house. It is your voice, your vote, just three days until the critical South Carolina primary. The latest poll there has donald trump with a 16point lead and abcs tom llamas has the very latest from charleston, South Carolina. Good morning, tom. Reporter amy, good morning its a commanding lead and the of time to catch trump. Donald trump has had a war of words with his rivals, Hillary Clinton and are Bernie Sanders but now the president is personally getting involved. I continue to believe mr. Trump will not be president. And the reason is because i have a lot of faith in the american people. Reporter president barack obama doubling down on his prediction that the world will never see a president trump. Come on. Saying trumps white house. Its not hosting a talk show or a reality show. Its not promotion. Its not mketing. Its hard. And a lot of people count on us getting it right. Reporter trump firing back a direct message. Youre lucky i didnt run last time when romney ran because you would have been a oneterm president. Reporter but the president s criticisms sound a lot like what saying. Terrorists wage jihad on the United States of america, the answer is not to tweet insults at them. Reporter do you think donald trump is somebody you would feel safe with protecting our country. Well, i dont think donald has shown yet an undereranding of our National Security situation. He hasnt really exhibited any sort of indepth knowledge about the issues confronting the country. Reporter and jeb bush saying trumps shots at his brothers administration over 9 11 is nonsense. No one envisioned 9 11. I dont care what donald trump says. The guy is a complete loser with his statements about this. Reporter and the Jeb Bush Campaign making a different type of statement on twitter tweeting the word america with this image of a new gun, bushs name etched on the barrel. But the campaign may have fired too fast. Jeb apparently unaware of the tweet explaining the gun was a gift. The purpose was we went to a gun manufacturing facility where lots of jobs are created, high wage jobs and received a gun reporter now trumps criticisms of president bush may have actual cost him v ves here. Because the governor here nikki haley who is very popular with republicans is expected to endorse someone but she says shes definitely not going to endorse trump. Why . She says its embarrassing that someone would attata president bush on one of the worst days in american history. A lot of eyes on her with three days to go. The democrats now, nevada caucus and the race is a dead heat. Clinton, 48 , sanders, 47 and cecilia vega is here with the latest. Good morning. Reporter george, good morning to you. Those numbers show exactly what the Clinton Campaign is worried about, the race in nevada is neck and neck but so is that battle for black and latino voters as Bernie Sanders tries to gain ground, clinton is fighting back hard. Let the courting begeg. Sanders at a historically black Atlanta College trying to make the case. Together we are going to end the horrors of unarmed africanamericans being shot and killed by police officers. Reporter and in South Carolina, hoping to close the gap. When we talk about inequality, it goes without saying that the Africanamerican Community is suffering even more. Reporter with the palmetto states democratic primary on the horizon this morning theyre waging a heated battle for the same prize, the africanamerican vote. Clinton on tuesday meeting with civil rights leaders including al sharpton. Im looking forward to the conversation. Reporter then heading to harlem talking Race Relations and launching an allout assault on republicans. Clinton implying racism is behind the threat to block president Obamas Supreme Court nomination. Many republicans talk in takers and losers. They demonize president obama and encourage the ugliest impulses of the paranoid fringe. This kind of hatred and bigotry has no place in our politics or our country. Reporter a sweeping speech that was nearly unraveled by a coughing fit lasting more than four minutes. Too much to say. Reporter she did manage to get through that speech. The audience members cheering her on but heres whats at stake. The black vote is expected to make up more than half of the electorate in South Carolina, george. That is why they are fighting so hard. Cecilia, thanks very much. Lets talk about it with matthew dowd and Fox News Contributor Mary Katharine ham. Welcome to you both. Matt, the democrats, nevada a dead heat. A few months ago Hillary Clinton had a 20point lead and shows Bernie Sanders is starting to cut into her advantage on she is keeping onoving the fire wall down the calendar. I think right now her argument has been iowa, New Hampshire, predominantly white rural states. Well, youre going to nevada which is a predominantly urbanized state. With a large la teet know population and africanamerican population. I think if she loses nevada, South Carolina closes probably still difficult for Bernie Sanders but the dynamics of the race will keep adjusting as Bernie Sanders wins. It will go on for a long time. On the republican side mary kathryn, you have him holding on to that big lead. In South Carolina. What would it mean if after basically declaring war on the leaders donald trump wins in South Carolina which traditionally goes with the winner of the nomination. I think it doesnt mean the end of the race certainly. He as you see with all of his polling he remains strong and support remains strong even when polling can finish a strong second and make an argument we will have the threeman race many thought we would have coming out of New Hampshire and that may focus people. Matthew dowd, at the same time you have all these Republican Leaders even after he attacks president bush saying they will support trump if he is the nominee. I think theyll be in a difficult spot. I think if he wins South Carolina and it becomes a threeman race thats good for donald trump because i think donald trump right now, his bottom is 35 . He wins nevada next, he goes into march 1st and probably wins most of the states on march 1st. How do you stop donald trump once he wins South Carolina . That will be the question. Thank you both. Now to the battle over the Supreme Court, the late Justice Antonin Scalias seat draped in black as republicans plan to block president obamas plans to fill that spot. The president pushing back hard saying he will nominate someone and mary bruce has the latest. I intend to do my job between now and january 20th of 2017 and well. Reporter president obama is doubling down saying the Supreme Court is no place for political games and disspelling rumors about who hell pick. You shouldnt assume anything about the qualifications of the nomimie other than theyre going to be well qualified. Reporter but republicans insist they will block his nominee to replace Justice Antonin Scalia no matter what. It is not fair to appoint for a president in their last year in office to appoint someone to a lifetime position. Reporter in a sign at whats at stake the powerful chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee hasnt ruled it out. I would wait until the nominee is made before i would make any decisions, in other words, take it a step at a time. Reporter both sides digging in their heels as the nation mourns the loss of a conservative legal giant. On friday, scalias body will lie in repose, a public viewing in the great hall of the Supreme Court. Not far from where he sat during that chair now cloaked in black. Now, as for the funeral friends and family will gather saturday at the washington basilica. The burial, however, will be private. George. Okay, mary, thanks very much. We move on to that extreme weather all over the country. Record heat in the west is heading east where the big thaw and heavy rain is melting snow as tornadoes tear through the south. Rob is tracking it all. Hey, george, good morning. What a widereaching dynamic storm this was as it wrestled with record cold.

Three tornadoes totohing down in south florida. This twister tossing debris as drivers try to navigate the flying projectiles. Some flooring it just to get out of the way. You can hear this car take a direct hit. Oh, [ bleep ]. To 100 Miles Per Hour. Surveillanan cameras capturing trees being tossed as the storm moves through. Winds ripping the roof right off this tractor trailer then tossing it on its side in the middle of interstate 95. It was like the twister movie. Reporter a power line snapping and igniting a fire in this neighborhood. Storms from southern florida all the way up the east coast. In pennsylvania, winds over 50 Miles Per Hour knocking this semi to its side and nearly off this heavily traveled bridge. And the back side of this system across western new york, 18 inches of snow in rochester, a record. The next storm coming into the northwest, this will hit the entire west coast with rain, wind and mountain snow. They could use the rain in southern california. Theyre not going to get a whole lot. More on this later. Michael, back over to you. When you talk about snow i dont think this is what any of us had in mind. New video from a ski resort in canada. The young boy, he was reaching for his pole when he fell. Lift. Now, the operator of the chair lift is very smart, quickly stopped the lift, grabbed a tarp. Got some volunteers and watch what happens. Hang in there, young man. Let everybody get ready for you and on the count of three, go. They caught him. That was quick thinking. Very quick thinking.

What if we did for mortgages what the internet did for buying music and plane tickets and shoes . You would turn an intimidating process into an easy one. You could get a mortgage on your phone. And if it could be that easy, wouldnt more people buy homes . And wouldnt those buyers need to fill their homes with lamps and blenders and sectional couches and wouldnt that mean all sorts of wooden legmaking opportunities for wooden leg makers . And wouldnt those new leg makers own phones from which they could quickly and easily secure mortgages of their own, further stoking demand for necessary Household Goods as our tidal wave of ownership floods the country with new homeowners, who now must own other things and isnt that the power of america itself now shrunk to fit the hands of a child, or, more helpfully, a homebuying adult. Anyway. Thats what we were thinking. Hmmm. Apple pie with only fruits nutsand spices. This makes the rest of my life feel very complicated. Larabar. Food made from food.

State lawmakers passed the first Sub Committee vote on the idea in the iowa house yesterday. Representative gary worthan says the Iowa Department of transportatio n told him the average speed on iowa interstates is already 72 miles an hour. The iowa dot says raising the speed limit would increase the number of traffic deaths. And now heres your first alert forecast. Plan on a decent february day with an overall partly cloudy sky.

For Good Morning America, clayton sandell, abc news, denver. All right, and dan is here to talk more about this case. This is interesting because picabo made the 911 call. Now shes charged with a crime. Right, so if seems what the authorities did is they went in and interviewed eyewitnesses. Thats got to be one of the critical factors. The fact that the mother, her mother was there. It seems that the kids were present and then youve got the two people involved. You interview all of them. You look at the injuries involved and clearly the authorities determined that they believed that she was the aggressor. Now, shes facing a misdemeanor, but are you this to trial . Right. All the publicity. Her lawyer seems to be suggesting she was offered a plea which basically would have wiped out her record, no jail time, nothing, she rejected it trial. I think that her defense is going to have to be her own testimony. Meaning shes going 0 have to get up on the witness stand and say, heres what happened. Heres why it happened and, remember, all she has to do is try to invoke reasonable doubt. It doesnt mean that a judge or jury has to necessarily say shes right. When youre charged with a crime all shes got to do is be able to convince the judge or jury that there are questions about what happened here and this is one of those situations where she may be able to do just that. All right, what is she facing if convicted. Months if not years. We have that terrifying rescue caught on camera. A father pulling his son from a morning. Jane likes to mix things up.

You never expect Something Like that to happen to you. Once it does it is kind of shocking. Reporter hard to see until youre up close. They block so much snow theres a lot less under the trees and not packed like this snow so one step down there you sink another six feet at least. A safety video put out by the northwest Avalanche Institute shows just how paralyzing it can be. A staggering 90 of skiers who fall in tree wells fail to get themselves out without help. Accounting for 20 of all ski fatalities. In this dramatic video posted on live leak in 2012 a snowboarder is buried while his friends contorted, legs and arm above him like cement. If you hit the tree you can knock a lot of the snow on the tree off. Reporter if you fall in try to keep a hand in front of your face to clear a place to breathe, hug the tree if possible and useing as leverage to push yourself out and finally and most importantly, always ski with a buddy and keep each other in sight. Thats what saved ethan. My throat hurts right now. I was trying so hard to get snow away from my face and it just kept coming down.

Has a little routine before like Football Players have a superstition and things they do before they compete. C. J. Has one of his own. Absolutely, he generally most of the time hell usually sneeze. Thats his before you show he sneezes. Shakes it out. Now, im just curious, c. J. , i have a treat for you here, but after c. J. Wins, is there like a treat . Is there a steak in order . Something like that today, yeah, definitely. Grabbed the cheese. It kind of looked like me. And now we know that you i was watching you show c. J. And that is like a workout and i was curious when c. J. Is not being shown, is he like a regular dog around the house. Hes a regular house dog. He has we have a few other house dogs that he runs and plays with. We have three acres and he rips around the property with them. I heard you have a cat, as well, that c. J. Loves. He loves tootsie. Tootsie is not so how do the cats feel about c. J. . Oh, look at him. The cat doesnt like dog slobber all over him and thats what he does. The cats do not like dog slobber. Just a regular dog. This is not his normal diet. His normal diet is we were watching you show c. J. Could you show us how you do that . Is there a special technique. Sure, lets go. Your normal noise. That means were going to work. That noise means were going to break. Theres your top dog, c. J. A german shorthaired pointer. Beautiful, beautiful. Well be right back, everybody. I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. And reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. There are 16 freshpicked oranges squeezed into each bottle of tropicana pure premium.

We have that coming up. Looking forward to that. Now lets get the morning rundown from amy. All right, good morning, everyone. We begin with the showdown over personal privacy in the digital age pitting apple versus the federal government. This morning apple says it will fight a court order that directs the company to help the fbi break into the encrypted phone that belonged to the San Bernardino shooter syed farook.

Well, tensions are escalating between the u. S. And china in a longrunning dispute over islands in the south china sea. China has now reportedly deployed surfacetoair missiles on one of the islands it claims to own, and this comes just one day after president obama called for steps to ease tensions. Meanwhile, u. S. Fighter jets flew low over south korea today. Its a show of force aimed at north korea, which recently fired a longrange rocket. And a new poll shows donald trump leading by 16 points just days before the primary in South Carolina. He is also holding a commanding lead in nevada. Trumps momentum is getting the attention of president obama who said he doubts trump will be elected because americans view the presidency as a, quote, serious job, not a reality show.

Eyeopening new report about adderall. Researchers at johns hkins notice a sharp rise in young people abusing the adhd drug. Dr. Richard besser here with the details. So, whats in this report . Yeah, so they looked at trends in the use and abuse of stimulant medications, which are the drugs used for attention deficit disorder, and what they found was very concerning. What they found was using adderall without a prescription. So that 1 of all adults were doing that and a dramatic rise in er visits for that, a 156 rise there. If these young adults are using it, where are they getting it . What they found was equally concerning. Most of them were getting it from friends and family who had a prescription from a doctor and i have to tell you, you know, these drugs are relatively safe when theyre used under a doctors supervision but there are medical conditions that put you at risk and you dont want to share these drugs. Why are the young people doing it, just to get an edge in studying or get amped up before going out . When you look at other studies, that seems to be a big thing, getting an edge. Its not clear whether people are using them as well when they go out to party but a study found 62 of College Students share these drugs with other people, and you just shouldnt do that. What are the kind of side effects to look for . Under doctor supervision, can be managed, but if you use them without that supervision, there are things that can be very scary, seizures, Heart Disease including heart attacks, psychosis, you know, these things psychosis . At high doses and very rare but if you dont have that supervision making sure that theyre being used properly these are the kind of things you have to worry about. These arent drugs to be shared.

We want to get to that big headline about ultimate fighter ronda rousey, the superstar athlete making a powerful confession admitting that when she lost that championship fight back in november, she considered taking her life. Abcs linsey davis is here with her story. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, guys. Rousey was the ufc champion until that moment in november when she was knocked out after a devastating kick in the head from holly holm. Rousey said she was so devastated she sat in the hospital afterward and questioned what am i anymore if im not this . Reporter she is a powerhouse athlete and a stunning cover model for sports illustrated. Mixed martial arts superstar ronda rousey is seemingly able to do it all. Shes unbelievable. Reporter but now shes speaking out for the first time on camera since her shocking defeat to holly holm in november. Holly holm is the new ufc bantamweight champion. Reporter tearfully revealing to Ellen Degeneres tuesday that she had suicidal thoughts following her devastating loss. And i was literally sitting there and like thinking about killing myself and in that exact second im nothing. Im like, what do i do anymore . Reporter rousey whose father committed suicide when she was just 8 years old credits her boyfriend of almost a year, Ufc Travis Brown for picking her back up. I looked up and i saw my man, travis, was standing there and i looked up at him and i was just i need to stay alive. Ronda said travis reminds her of her father because he is a protector. Reporter Espns Ramona Shelburne who spoke with rousey ten days after the hit said it was the lowest point of her life. She was trying to process it and it really did feel like the life she had been leading was over, and i think thats what she was trying to say there. Reporter the 29yearold now admits she was burnt out after competing in her third title fight in nine months and while she might be out of the running for now, she says she has big plans for the future. I really do believe im still undefeated because being defeated is a choice. Everybody has losses in their life, but i choose to always be undefeated. Reporter ufc champion holly holm reacted to rouseys agony saying when you lose at something you pour your heart and soul into, its a terrible feeling. Holm is scheduled to defend her title march 5th and rousey is then expected to fight the winner of that fight likely in november. Rousey says she wants to beat holm to, quote, make everything right again. Amy. All right, linsey, thanks so and joining us now, psychiatrist dr. Janet taylor. And, janet, you could see the emotion of ronda in that moment. What do you think the impact is for those watching to hear her reveal that very dark moment . Well, its powerful because you have a champion who is expressing her vulnerability. I mean, everyone has a loss at some point in their lives but for her she had an extreme reaction because she said she was suicidal and it also sounds like the loss challenged her sense of purpose. And this is not something we hear many people admit. Why is it so hard for so many of us to be open about those moments . Well, its stigma, and so often still in society theres a stigma against people who express extreme unhappiness or are suicidal or have a mental disorder or Mental Illness and theres a difference. Shes saying she can work on it. And people need to know that almost 50 of americans have a mental disorder, not mental diagnosed with something so the point is if youre feeling something overwhelming and you feel like you want to hurt yourself or you feel extremely sad, talk to somebody about it because if ronda rousey can say it, anyone can. Right, because you can have that situational moment, as well, that strong emotion. It was interesting, ronda said when she felt that darkness, she looked up and saw her boyfriend, and that pulled her out of it. How important is it to have someone, anyone there with you in those times . Its important. It was a moment. It was a suicidal thought. If someone is actually suicidal with a plan, thats an emergency. Having a sense of support is extremely important. If you have a religious affiliation, to talk to someone. And the key thing is to understand that you dont have to resolve it on your own. If youre a Family Member and you hear someone who is suicidal, get help. Because a lot of people are in those moments and part of the reason why they feel so down, so sad, so suicidal is because theyre alone. Who then do you reach out to . Well, you have to break the provider. If youre employed look for employ assistance or if youre a student, there are Guidance Counselors at universities and educate yourself about moods and find a reputable source like the National Institute of Mental Health or the mayo clinic to identify what different mood swings can mean and get help for yourself. And to know you are not alone. There is help. No, we have to break the silence and the stigma about what it means to have extreme mood swings. All right. Dr. Janet taylor, as always, thank you so much. Thank you. Lara, over to you. Thank you, amy. Now we turn to Kate Middletons big, new role, the duchess joining the Huffington Post team taking on a temporary assignment as guest editor covering an important hasan is in london with the latest.

We hope to encourage george and charlotte to speak about their feelings. The duchess invited the first lady to participate as she guest edits the Huffington Post uk and Michelle Obama also wants to remove the stigma associated with Mental Illness writing we should make it clear that weakness. It is a sign of strength, and we should ensure that people can get the treatment they need.

Reporter back in the newsroom the duchess taking charge working hard in the runup to her new job commissioning a number of articles and blogs, even releasing a psa.

Blackish star Anthony Anderson and jesse are about to show us and this is our first ever suds and studs laundry showdown. Definitely not the last. Im the stud, jesse, just so you know that. Consumer expert lisa lee through this, i pray. My question to you, this is real. Men are really taking over laundry duty . Absolutely. A new survey published in the wall street journal showed twothirds of men between 18 and 34 say theyre the laundry meister in their family. Are you the laundry meister in your household . Im the only laundry meister in my household. I think more men are because the women dont want to wash those drawers anymore. Okay, then. Anthony, are you ready . Well start with the cycle showdown. Lets do it. We need you guys to take a look at this shirt. Uhhuh. Can you hold up the shirt and then hold up the paddle that shows the cycle you think it should be washed in. Take note, its dark and, note, white and blue. Should we wash in cold water with dark clothes, should we wash in hot water with dark clothes. Should we wash hot water with white clothes or cold water with white clothes . It should be with whites, cold water. You say darks, cold water and hey, look, jesse. The dark is always oh, boy forgot where i was. I believe that we have one for the stud. Yeah, you definitely want to wash anything with stripes or colors in dark, dark on cold and you might even want to wash it for the first few times by itself so it doesnt bleed. If you put it in hot water, cant it potentially shrink it . Also the colors will bleed, jesse. The colors will bleed. Hes done this before. Its suggesting one of you dont get it right. Right. The study shows men a i just wanted him to get off to a good start. Thank you. This category, this category is called name that smell. Oh. There are new detergents out there that are so that are supposed to smell more manly. Please smell the yellow and blue shirts. Hold up the one washed in the new mens detergent. The yellow one smells like it was worn at the club. Its got like cologne, maybe some this is the shirt george and i wore last night in the streets so i know what it was washed with. Oh, boy. So, which one was washed and which one had cologne on it . I think this is one that was washed. This is the one right here. This is the that was washed or had cologne on it . One of them has cologne on it. One was washed in manly detergent. The one that has been washed is the yellow one. Ha, ha, ha. Thats what the game we were playing. Well, the crazy thing is you said manly scent. I said george and i were wearing it. This is a manly scent. Youre right, and thats a new manly detergent. Yeah, thats right. Laundry detergent manufacturers are making detergents just for you guys so you dont even have to put cologne on. You can just pick a detergent. Look at jesse. It smells like club live in finally, this is the folding challenge. Finally . I may give this to you because youre down 02 right now. Do i get three points if i win this . No, you cant win, but you can come back strong. You really are motivating me. 15 okay, you can win. 15 seconds on the clock. We want to see who can fold the most laundry in those 15 seconds with your folding board. No cheating. Hey, hey, hey. Im waiting. And begin. Come on. The clock is ticking. Uno. So, most men are not so good at this. Folding. The problem is you have to unfold the clothes first. Anthony, youre breaking the rules here. When we come back, well Crown Anthony the winner. Sorry, jesse. Hes doing it with his hands. I thought you were supposed to use the folder. This is what i think about this. I fold my own clothes. Look at this. Look at this. Look at that. I dont even know what color that is but look how its folded. Folding boards are a lovely thing. I wish i could. You dont need to use one. Disqualification then. Okay, there you go, jesse. Technicality. Its still not a tie, jess. When we come back, more fun with blackish stars anthony and Tracee Ellis Ross and we will Crown Anthony the winner of the golden iron. Your whites on hot. Hey. And it works in the middle of anywhere. [ ding ] the new iphone 6s on u. S. Cellular lets you stay connected where other networks dont. [ chuckles ] the new iphone 6s on u. S. Cellular. I beg of you, you have to let me tell her. I will pay you sure, i aint going to tell her. The floors yours. Lets do it. So, ruby, ruby not now. Im trying to immortalize my son for buying me this luxury vehicle in time for the 32nd anniversary of marvin gayes death. Oh, we are going to break the internet. Hey, hey. My god, it just keeps getting better. Mama, this car is for zoe. Huh . Uhoh. Sneak peek at tonights blackish. Back with Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross. That looks like a fun one tonight. All of them are fun. Yeah, i love watching them. Its like going through your family album. Its really fun trying to remember what each of those are it brings us back, as well. I think you all came on the show the day before the first episode. Yeah. We could tell the minute you were on here that it was something special. But whats it been like for you guys . Its been a joyous experience. Actually especially to get into season two and have a chance to kind of really let go and be these characters and find it in a different way. Were such a family now that its been really exciting and watching the kids grow up in real life is very cool. Its got to be, and i got to tell you for us to watch it with our families is so great because we have this mix of laughing, relating to these situations but youre also tackling some really tough issues. Yeah, yeah, we are. You know, we pride ourselves on being topical and timely with the issues that we deal with, not only whats going on in the community at large but also whats going on in our personal lives. This is what you see on the screen every day, stories from real, truelife stories from our so, when you get something, i know one of the upcoming episodes will take on police brutality. How do you balance out the serious and funny . We have an Amazing Group of writers led by kenya barris, our creator not our creator but the creator of our show that really has my creator kenya. God does very well thank you, kenya. No, but the writers really do a wonderful job of balancing and somehow finding this ability to deal with these really heavy issues and hot topic issues and find a way to have laughter where were not making fun of those issues and i think thats the hardest thing to do. Its really hard, and they balance it beautifully. I think its a lot that they really work through the characters and the point of view of these characters as opposed to trying to do funny situations. Agreed. So you can kind of do anything because, you know, the characters are well developed. And you guys knew each other before. We did. She hated me. I did. Is that true . Yes, it is. Oh, my, yes, she did. I did, but its all gone and situation at work, and anthony goes, oh, my god, you still hate me, and i was like, no, no. Tracee, tell them what you did. Do you want to know what i did . Of course, i do. We had a kissing scene and i was tired. We were working a 16hour day in the last hour of the 16hour day at the end of a week and we started the kiss and somehow i dont know what happened but i thought that he was inappropriate in his kiss so i was not. He was not. He was not. I was not. He was absolutely not but apparently because i dont remember it, i did a one, two, three punch really hard straight to my heart. To the point that ive never punched a human being and when it hit, i was like, wow, thats a neat sound, it went boing. One, two, three. You never punched anyone before but you punched him. I did a boom, boom, boom and the next day i was sore under my arm. And a growl and called me the mf. I think shes still angry at you. Well, something happened. No, its not. This is over, unfortunately. But blackish is on tonight at 9 30 eastern on abc. Up next, all right. Were here now with Jennifer Jason leigh. She is up for an oscar for the Hateful Eight where she plays a fugitive whos brought to justice by Bounty Hunter kurt russell. Take a look at this clip. Samuel jackson explaining just what that means. Take a look. When john ruth, the hangman catches you, you got no bullet in the back, huhuh. When the hangman catches you, you hang. You overrate him. I give you he got guts but in the brains department, he like a man who took a high dive in a low well. Television, were not going to show what happens next but i saw last night. How did you feel with all that gore on your face as you were acting . You had a lot of blood on your face. That had to be an interesting well, the blood is very, very sticky and but you liked it. Right . It was fun for you, i read. I loved making the movie so much. I actually had just the best time, and it was freezing. The set was 30 degrees. So it was really freezing. Well, it all paid off. Congratulations on your nomination for an oscar for best you say this all happened for you at a time when you were considering kind of just giving up on the whole acting thing. Its not i mean, i wouldnt say giving up but i just felt like i had had a really nice run, you know. And been very fortunate and, i dont know, that maybe i was looking to do other things in a way. Well, not yet, not so fast because now youre up for that also youre a part of this film, anomalisa which is up for best animated feature, so two nominations there which has got to feel really great. That had to be a big surprise. Where were you when the nominations came out . I heard you were sleeping. Yes, i was sleeping and my phone was off, so i woke up and i had all these texts and all these messages from my friends and, you know, from a lot of the haters from the Hateful Eight and oyh, the haters, good haters. I was concerned for a second but thats what you call your cast mates. We call each other the haters. So it was a really just very surprising and sweet and happy morning. A really nice wakeup call. Really nice wakeup call. Probably one of the best. And you mentioned this, you said working on the Hateful Eight was your favorite working experience. Why . Tarantino is a master, and he also has so much enthusiasm, and he loves filmmaking in a way thats just impossible to describe honestly. And you wear a prosthetic nose in this film. Love that. Did it freak him out he really didnt like coming that would be the question. Like is the nose on or off, whether he would like want to come to set or not. Whether or not he would give you a hug that day. No kissing when the nose was on. Well, Jennifer Jason leigh, phenomenal performance. Thank you. We will be watching and crossing our fingers for you come march. Thanks so much for joining us. The Hateful Eight is in starting monday gmas going prime time with cameo appearances in hit abc shows.

Bye. The iowa utilities board is meeting this friday to talk about a proposed oil pipeline that would cross the state. Iowa is the only state that has not approved plans for the Dakota Access pipeline to carry crude oil from north dakota to illinois. The board met several times last week but did not make a decision. Congress has lifted a ban on oil exports. Pipeline opponents say that supports arguments the pipeline wont directly benefit iowa, which is a requirement for such projects. Dakota access argues iowans will benefit from reduced reliance on imported oil. This summer, the Us Army Corps of engineers says there should be fewer traffic problems on coralville lake.
