Reporter the four people inside said they would put their guns down and come out this morning as soon as the nevada legislator shows up on the scene.

Record heat out west. Deep freeze in the east. Rob i know youre tracking all of it for us. Good morning, rob. Its only going to get colder. Out west the heat continues. The picture on many a dashboard. 94 degrees in park yesterday. A big ridge out west. A couple degrees cooler but reenforcing shot as we go through the weekend. From 82 on saturday in l. A.

The cold willing continue to develop and make its way to the south and east and the eastern half of the country will be feeling this. By sunday morning temperatures actual temperatures not windchills, they would be 10, 20, 30 below. These are actual temperatures. Think about what pipes may be vulnerable if we hit zero here in new york city that will be the coldest night we have seen since 1994. Stage in wisconsin since New Hampshire. The question now will Hillary Clinton try something new after Bernie Sanders sweeping win. Abcs cecelia vega has the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Bernie sanders didnt just win in New Hampshire it was the largest margins of victory since jfk won in 1960. Hillary clintons team is rethinking the strategy and we could see it unfold on that debate stage. As both sides prepare to come face to face at tonights debate for the First Time Since Bernie Sanderss victory this morning worry inside camp clinton. Sources telling abc news Hillary Clintons top advisers are now calling supporters from big donors to backers in congress trying to ease concerns. Weve learned its not whether you get knocked down that matters, its whether you get back up. Reporter the strategy now shift the focus to South Carolina and nevada, the hope that clinton support among voters can help propel her to the nomination. The 22point loss in New Hampshire, bigger and more embarrassing than her camp ever expected. So big even sanders was shocked. You sound like youre surprised by the outcome yourself . We thought wed win but not by that large a vote. Reporter when i asked about the uphill fight ahead, this stark admission. If the election were tomorrow do you think you could win South Carolina and nevada . Fortunately for us, the election is not tomorrow. Reporter and about those recent attacks from bill clinton. Has he gone below the belt . I think so. Look, i know hes going to be out there defending his wife. Trust me, my wife will be out there defending me. Reporter but the battle now for minority voters. Sanders first stop after his big win, harlem where he ate soul food and met with al sharpton. And listen to this, that New Hampshire win was very lucrative for Bernie Sanders. Closed there, sanders raised more than 5 million shattering the campaigns previous record for money raised in less than a day. Guys, and it is mostly from small donations. Thats whats been fueling him all along. High stakes tonight in this debate. Clinton team telling you anything about their strategy . You know, its funny, george. They wont. They dont want to put their playbook out. In the past theyve given us nuggets here and there. We expect issues affecting minority communities to be a big one. Thats the battleground and where Bernie Sanders is especially vulnerable watching for Hillary Clinton to go on the attack tonight and Bernie Sanders told me yesterday that he is ready for it. Okay, cecilia, thanks very much. Very important tonight. Thank you, cecilia. Now to the republican race, Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina announce they are dropping out. All eyes on South Carolina where the next primary takes place. Jon karl is there for us in clemson, South Carolina. Reporter after his big win in New Hampshire donald trump took a victory lap in South Carolina last night. Make him unstoppable. The republican candidates are bringing their fight for the gop nomination to the south this morning. Rallying supporters overnight donald trump set a South Carolina win would clear his path to the republican nomination. We win here, were going to run the table. If we win here after winning so big in New Hampshire all of these characters are going to give it up. Reporter trump trained his fire on jeb bush hoping a strong South Carolina showing can save his campaign. You have a guy like bush who has his big fund. Its terrible. Ill be honest. The last thing we need is another bush. That i can tell you. Reporter while ted cruz the winner of the Iowa Caucuses couldnt repeat that performance in New Hampshire he says he wont be deterred by trumps victory. One of the most important conclusions coming out of the first two states is that the only candidate who can beat meanwhile marco rubio is trying to get back on track after his disappointing fifth place finish in New Hampshire. We caught up with rubio as he headed to South Carolina. He says hes willing to take on the gop frontrunner. Are you going to go after donald trump . Its no longer enough to continue to say the great things youre going to do but you wont tell us how youre going to do them. John kasich after his surprised second place win drew an overflow crowd in South Carolina. Kasich has relyied on a positive campaign but says hes ready to hit back at his rivals. Dont mess with me. Okay. So im not going to be a pin cushion or marshmallow but im also not going to spend my time trying to trash other people. When this race started we had 17 republican candidates. Now were down to six. Donald trump and five others all dividing up that antitrump vote. Robin. That is true. What is the situation right now . Now in South Carolina . Reporter robin, there have be no reliable polls since a week before the Iowa Caucuses. But in every poll in South Carolina going back to october, donald trump has had a commanding lead and theres little evidence anything has changed that. The other candidates have nine days to make up ground. Thank you. All the polls in New Hampshire as well. Lets get to matthew dowd. Matthew, very different terrain from iowa and manchester, New Hampshire and that has vicious politics. It gets nasty and negative fast. It is different. It has aspects of iowa and New Hampshire. First its an open primary. That means democrat, independents and republicans can vote in it like New Hampshire. But it also has the highest percentage of evangelicals similar to iowa but one of the differences in the evangelicals in South Carolina is theyre not driven to the polls by social issues but establishment conservative issues and so when is going to have twice as many liberal and moderate voters as iowa, so when you look at it, you give advantage, donald trump, when you go into South Carolina. And he probably has the lead going in. Lets talk about the democrats. That debate tonight. A lot of commentary swirling around Hillary Clintons debate strategy. Does she go very, very positive, put forward a vision, some people said she hasnt done that or is now the time to really try to take down Bernie Sanders . Well, listen, george, shes been wounded and shes bleeding so the first thing she needs to do is apply a tourniquet and stopping bleeding so she doesnt lose nevada the next state up. What i would do if i were her prosecute the case directly against Bernie Sanders and ignore the moderators and basically say in a calm, cool, strong way prosecute the case saying the only person on this stage that can get anything done is me. Your ideas are great. Theyre aspirational but the only person that can get things done is myself. I would turn to him and prosecute the case. Well be watching tonight. Matthew dowd, thanks very much. Thank you. Now to new developments the federal government announcing its suing the city trying to force it to overhaul its Police Department. Which has repeatedly been accused of racial discrimination. Abcs Pierre Thomas is in washington with that story for us. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, robin. In a blunt press conference the attorney general accused the city of ferguson of stonewalling attempts to right the wrongs of a Police Department she flatly described as racially biased. All this is what democracy looks like. Reporter this morning the Justice Department firmly agreeing with africanamerican residents of ferguson saying their complaints of unfair and racially biased Police Enforcement are, in fact, true. The ferguson Police Departments violations in particular were expansive and deliberate, stopping people without reasonable suspicion. By arresting them without cause and by using unreasonable force. These violations were not only they were driven at least in part by racial bias. Reporter the justice after the city council rejected a deal to reform the police. I think the things that weve asked for are very reasonable. Were not trying to take away any safeguards. Reporter the attorney general wasnt buying it saying blacks in the city which saw so Police Shooting of Michael Brown they have waited decades for justice. They should not be forced to wait any longer. Reporter ferguson Officials Say theyre willing to Reform Police practices but argue that implementing the deal might be too costly and that changes were needed. Ferguson city councilman mark burns sent us an email last night saying while washington politicians can run up endless debt that doesnt work in ferguson where we, quote, actually have to pay our bills. The legal showdown now fully engaged. Robin. It certainly is. All right, pierre, thank you. Now we turn to amy with the mornings other top stories starting with a tragedy in maryland. It is so, so sad. Flags are flying at halfstaff across maryland to honor two sheriffs deputies shot and reports of a suspicious person at a panera restaurant. This is north of baltimore. Police say the suspect who is wanted on two warrants opened fire targeting the deputies before he himself was shot dead. The deputies were 16 and 30year veterans of the force. Well, there are new precautions now because of the zika virus. The u. S. Olympic Committee Says it will hire Infectious Disease experts to advise athletes about the outbreak in brazil after soccer star hope solo expressed concerns about traveling to the rio games this summer. North korea leader kim jongun appears to have made another move to tighten his grip on power. Sources in south korea say hes executed his top army general citing abuse of power, a day after the Senate Approved harsh sanctions on the regime. And the u. S. Is condemning iran for releasing video of a detained american sailor appeared to be crying. A u. S. Navy Spokesman Says we are disgusted by the exploitation of our sailors for ten were held after straying into iranian waters. And some terrifying scenes from india as an elephant rampaged through this town for hours crushing cars. It damaged about 100 homes. People ran for their lives but the animal was not on the attack. Apparently it was just looking for the way back to the forest. It was subdued with tranquilizers and returned to the wild. And finally, sometimes you just really, really need your morning coffee, especially after a snowstorm so forget the fourwheel drive. One woman in canada relied on fourlegged drive and hooked up her trained border collies to her sled and made a beeline for the tim horton drivethrough. They had a special lane for her. An urban musher. I didnt know there was such a thing and a pro. The dogs. She said theyre plenty hyper already. Thats what i call a coffee run, you know. Maybe a doughnut for the that would have been nice. They had their treats. Well move on to the debate over concussions in pro sports. Now turning to wrestling after that big announcement from wwe superstar daniel bryan who says hes retiring because of repeated head injuries. Jesse is here with that and bryan wants to send a message. He sure does. The thankyoudaniellebryan is filling up after the fan favorite announced that severe concussions are forcing him out of the ring and now wants to be a role model for others at risk. Exchanging head butts at the top of the ladder. Reporter its hits like that and slams like this that now has one of pro wrestlings most beloved superstars off the mat. My brain isnt as okay as i thought it was. Reporter 34yearold wwe this week that hes walking away from the sport he loves because within the first five months of my wrestling career, i had already had three concussions. And then it gets to the point when youve been wrestling for 16 years that adds up to a lot of concussions. Reporter his doctor documents at least ten of them, some bryan says even leading to seizures. So, unlike many pro athletes in sports where concussions are a constant danger bryan is one of the first to walk away before too much damage is done something hes encouraging others to consider. You have a responsibility to yourself, to your family, to your friends just to protect yourself. Reporter and bryan makes it clear he doesnt blame the sport or the wwe. He says after his last concussion, even after several outside doctors had given him the okay, the wwe would not clear him to return. And that decision may have saved him from a situation where he wouldnt have been able to walk away by choice and maybe without major consequence. This is his choice. Youre seeing more and more athletes. Nfl players have left the sport of concussions. People becoming much more proactive. Clear about why hes doing it. Rob on the weather. Record cold in the east. Heat in the west. Yin and yang and california, three days in a row of recordshattering heat and well do it again today. Maybe slightly cooler, 10 to 20 degrees above normal.

Morning in bayonne, new jersey, after facing, oh, hurricaneforce winds. How some of the passengers from that ship, now theyre here live. Im going to talk to them in just a moment. Looking forward to that. We are. Lara out in hollywood behind the scenes with the cast of scandal. How is it going in the oval . Its not bad, george. I could get used to this.

Are you going to talk finally . Am i going to talk . Why was lara in my seat . This guy watch him. We got that eye out. Were watching. All right, lara, well get back to you. Passengers finally back on solid ground after that nightmare at sea. Royal caribbeans giant ship, anthem of the seas arriving safely in new jersey overnight after surviving hurricaneforce winds. Some of those passengers are good enough to be with us here. Were going to talk to them in just a moment but first, linsey davis is at that dock in bayonne, new jersey, with more. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, robin. Seeing the ship now from the outside it looks as if nothing ever even happened. Certainly thats a far cry from the accounts that weve been hearing again and again from passengers who talk about this massive ship listing at 45 degrees and then if you count up three stories they talk about water going overtop of those balconies three stories high. After four harrowing days at sea, the anthem of the seas finally made it to shore where passengers were greeted with cheers. The 4500 now seaweary passengers thankful to be on dry im alive. Im alive. This is insane. Reporter again and again, we heard stories of fear, of passengers saying as the ship was being pounded by 30foot waves and wind gusts topping 100 Miles Per Hour sunday night they thought for sure they would not survive. Some people were absolutely terrified. It was scary. Reporter some are still questioning the captains judgment to venture out to sea with severe storm warnings in the forecast and wednesday night, Royal Caribbean apologized to its passengers in a statement calling the event exceptional and saying the company has identified gaps in our Planning System that we are addressing. What happened this week showed that we need to do better. Something went wrong. We either didnt interpret the forecast correctly or we will do a complete review of the situation to see if theres any way to change our procedure, processes to do anything to make sure this doesnt happen. Reporter maritime lawyer jim walker says half a dozen passengers already called him lawsuit. The real issue here is whether the cruise lines have any liability for the fear and anxiety that most of these passengers had and in most cases, cruise lines are not responsible when the passengers have been fearful of weather conditions. Reporter while at least four people suffered minor injuries, Royal Caribbean says the ship didnt sustain any major damage. The ntsb is currently considering an investigation. In the meantime, Royal Caribbean tells us anthem of the seas will once again set sail on saturday, heading to the bahamas. Robin. All right, linsey, joining us now to share their stories are peter and angela alupus, ashley and Charlotte Lipman and lauren, whitney, brittany and alex and albert hayes. Good morning to you all. Good morning. Do you still feel like youre rocking a little bit . Absolutely. I was just looking at you as you were watching that. Were so thankful that there are that you all are doing okay. Okay, who kissed the ground when they got back . Anybody do that . Everyone . You always hear about people saying theyre going to kiss the ground. Peter, we saw your sisters video that she posted. You guys were told to stay in your cabins. It looks like you guys were in a washing machine. I mean, what was it like inside thats exactly what it was like. It was absolutely terrifying. We were on the third floor with an ocean view and we literally saw the ocean with dori swimming by. Good you can have a sense of humor about it right now. But the captain would come on. You could hear even 17 years hes been a captain. He was experienced but there are a lot of crew members, this was their first time out. Could you hear the fear in their voices . Absolutely. My sister walked out into the corridor and saw some of the staff hugging and crying and thats when she got concerned. We also didnt have any life vests in the cabin which is weve cruised many times and i guess they keep them at stations now but we were told to go back to the cabins and there were no life vests. Luckily we had our own personal snorkel vests and my sister was wearing it throughout the yes. You guys have been on cruises before. Wasnt your first rodeo. We have. Lauren, okay, i can understand this, you had a panic attack. Oh, yeah. Even though you were beyond. Even though you were told to stay in the cabin, you had cabin fever. Had to get out. We were probably we were all together probably in the room for 20 minutes if that and then we left. Yeah. I couldnt do it and the crew members were even telling us get back to the room and i said, no. Im not going back. I hate to use the phrase but you said you felt like you had a titanic moment. I felt that way when the captain came on the actual loudspeaker telling us to get back to our rooms. He didnt sound very convincing that it was going to be okay so it just everyone around us just started crying, saying they couldnt breathe. Be okay. When everyone is freaking out like that it gives you a lot of anxiety. Not everybody was freaking out. Charlotte, youre 10 years old. It was your birthday cruise. Yeah. And your daddy and everyone said you were having a good time eating candy and stuff. What was it like for you . It was kind of scary since i saw the waves and they were basically almost crashing on to our terrace. And the room is basically tilted all the way down like a ramp but when it wasnt moving i just ran down and then i fell on the bed. It was fun but still really scary. Yeah, because your daddy was concerned, papa. Tried to make the best of it. You said you got to eat candy and got quality time with your dad, oneonone time with your you heard in linseys report the response from Royal Caribbean saying that there were some gaps and stuff. Looking back, what do you all think should have been perhaps done differently, would you want yes, it came to my attention from a meteorologist friend of mine this storm had been forecast up to a week before and ive been watching the news since we came on land and they say even 24 hours before, the forecast was very accurate as far as what we were sailing into. So, you know, in retrospect, the captain did maneuver us through the storm, but i think he was instrumental in getting us to the storm and thats what i think needs to be addressed is how do we prevent this from happening again. The big lesson here. Show of hands. Who is going to go on a cruise ship again . Look at you. A few shaky hands. Charlotte was right up. Quite a daughter you have there. Shes a daredevil. Hey, thank you all very much and finding the humor in it. I know it had to be some very scary moments and thank you for sharing your story. Glad that youre back on solid ground. All the best to you.

What about those specially designed ones . Wirecutter. Com put 12 pairs to the test and abcs gio benitez here with the exclusive results. Hey, gio. Its cold outside. You know regular gloves dont work on touch screen devices but wirecutter. Com broke it down. This morning here are the results right now on gma. Typing in the cold can be a pain in more ways than one. Annoying having to take off the gloves every time to send a text. Reporter regular gloves dont work with touch screens. Heres why, the fabric blocks the charge from your finger nick guy, a website that advises on best gadgets evaluated 12 pairs to find out how well they work. Looking at all of these, they dont have the tips were so used to seeing. The technology is advanced. They actually sew in silver and copper thread that conducts electricity and allows you to use your touch screen as if you werent wearing gloves. To test for touch screen ability. He camped out in a temperature controlled brewery cooler, a lot like this one keeping it consistently frosty above freezing while he texted, used apps and played games. Now its my turn with wire cutters picks. All right, its cold in here. It is. 37 degrees. Got to keep the beer chilly. Moshi. For 29. 95. These are our favorites. We found they were nice and warm but we were also able to type really well with the thumbs on them. Brewery cooler . Well, no typos. Looked like you did pretty good. Next up the north face thermoball tip gloves. For 50. A little bit thicker, not quite as flexible but theyre still pretty impressive for how warm they are. Feel like i could be in a blizzard and can type. Yeah. They all lose connectivity over time but sometimes too quickly. Thats what wire cutter found with glider gloves winter style which sell for 29. 99. Yeah. We wore them for a few months and were fine. When we went to do our final tests the lefthand glove stopped working altogether. They can wear out and thats unacceptable. Glider gloves told us we found its about 1 of all gloves that fail early. We do back up our product with a 90day warranty and replace any gloves that have failed or are defective. Nicks advice, get gloves with gripping material on the palm. See how well it stays in the palm. Watch out for those with extra materials or seams on the tip. That reduces touch screen ability. We should tell you wire cutter does get a percentage of money from retailers on gloves sold through the links on their site and by the way, out of 12 of the Touch Screen Gloves that expert tested this year he says he highly recommends four of them.

The theme song for a new funny or die video which shows donald trump in a way weve never seen before. Wouldnt you say, t. J. . That is definitely the case. But if imagine if donald trump starred in, wrote, directed and even edited a movie about himself. Thats essentially what this is and 50 minutes of them making fun of donald trump. What threw them off is who played donald trump. Put it up. If you dont know already, yes, that is johnny depp who transformed it took him two or three hours every day to do that. About four days. And let me give you a little example of how this came out. I had to start up with nothing but the shirt on my back and a small Million Dollar loan from my father. Thats the beauty. He did say that.

In health news, encouraging signs about dementia in america. It appears to be on the decline. A new study finds rates of dementia are down more than 40 since the 1970s among whites. Doctors say the change is most likely because of lower rates of heart disease, and they also found a link between higher dementia. Well, we have an update on this video we showed you of that man helping police catch a drug suspect by tripping him on a sidewalk. Well, Police Released the video in the hopes of finding him so they could thank him for doing their legwork, and now they have.

And finally the secret service has posted a sign outside the white house that may seem a little obvious. It reads, weapons prohibited at the white house. Wewe, the agency tells usa today that its required by law to post the sign to have the right to search people. But heres the deal, that law was passed back in 1988. It took them 28 years to get the sign up. No word why it took so long, but good work, guys. Better late than never, robin. I guess so, amy. Thank you. We got a big Health Headline for the millions of americans trying to lose weight. Classified as overweight or obese, and a new study from Johns Hopkins university reveals centers that so many use may not be helping. Dr. Jennifer ashton is here with the details. So, whats going on here, jen . So, robin, if you are overweight or obese and in my office, i would likely counsel you about the importance of losing weight and then might likely refer you to one of these Weight Loss Centers to help you because this is an ordeal. So what this study did is they kind of went behind the scenes and did a report card in an urban area of medical Weight Loss Centers and what they found, they didnt do so well. There is a lot of room for improvement. One of the findings was about 1 only follow the actual medical guidelines in helping patients lose weight. Fewer than one in three are actually supervised by a physician, and only about 3 are recommending the proper amount of physical activity. So, again, not such a good report card here. Yeah. Why are they not following the requirements . We dont know. I mean, my take on this is a number of possible explanations. Number one, a center may choose deliberately to pursue their own approach, which is fine as long as youre transparent about that, and you want to follow your own espy. Recipe. What would be more concerning if they were actually unaware that there were real guidelines that should ideally be followed and, lastly, obviously there could be financial gain here, and it could be a scam, so this is a scenario again where patients need to proceed with caution. Buyer, beware. Congratulations, you are just newly yes. Board certified when it comes to obesity medicine. Thank you. And there is some research out there that shows why it is so difficult for many to lose weight. Right, we know based on the obesity medicine data, in some cases losing a significant amount of weight may not be as simple as eating carrot sticks and exercising a lot because this is a complex issue with multiple causes. Hormonal reasons, environmental reasons, exposure in utero, behavioral, genetic. This is a war on obesity, so we need an army to fight it. Jen, you know so many people, in strip malls and all around. What is your recommendation . Okay, there are a couple of tips. Number one, you want to be clear about your goals at the onset. Are you going to lose 20 pounds or are you going because youre you want to ask about the credentials of the people operating these centers. Good. That should be up front. Its not a secret. You are entitled to know their qualifications. Ideally, people can go to the internet and read the American Heart Association and Obesity Society guidelines on weight loss from 2013. Its a magnum opus, but it is there and it is accessible for everyone to look at and, lastly, you have to factor in cost. We say it all the time. Its expensive to be overweight. But getting good health can also be expensive, and so cost has to be factored in. All right, congratulations again. Thank you. Like she needs another title. Doesnt have enough going on. A little bit of free time. A little. Jen will be answering your questions throughout the morning. Tweet her drjenashton. Go to gmas Facebook Page, as well. Now to jesse with the morning menu.

And now its a lot of preparing at night to get the toddler out the door and then start things all over again with the newborn. Reporter parenting experts say the key for new moms and Kim Kardashian is enlist help from a baby sitter or spend time with mommy friends who understand the stress and schedule some me time on a regular basis.

We have all agreed to spill some scandalous secrets but first here is a little look at something to come tonight. Yes, yes. Im fine. What do you mean . I mean, you wont open the door and thats weird. Is there someone in there . What do you mean about a client . This isnt about a client. You want to talk on the phone. Surveillance we do not want anyone at the nsa to hear about this. Why . Whos the client . The head of the nsa. I was just trying out for a role. Im not going to live. I have a captive audience and i love the show so much. Applaud, everybody. [ applause ] im going to start ah. So, kerry washington, thanks for being here. Very, very early. All of you, thank you. Youre our first gladiator and one of our most fierce gladiators. I tried to dress the part today. Sexy. Thanks. The scene that we just saw, what are you hiding behind the door, girl . That scene, huck is trying to talk to you. You will not usually you let everybody in. You have something, either its a man or a something. Uhhuh. 9 00, 8 00 central. 9 00, 8 00 central. Thats my answer. Thats the only way you get to see whats behind the door. Does whats behind the door have a heartbeat . Hmm. I mean, poeticly speaking. Thats beautiful. I see life in all kinds of things. That was great. Whoo. I have a big question. We saw a glimpse of it. I feel like fashion is almost another character in the show. Uhhuh. It definitely tells a bit of the story, and what weve seen so far indicates a sea change of sorts, in fact, im going to start i want you to roll one more clip and youll understand what im talking about. Go ahead, roll this. We are never done. We do not give up. My world, my rules, this is war. There is no script. Do you want to be a gladiator in a suit . Its handled. I like that. Oh, yeah, you throw that white hat. Red. Let me ask any of you, what does the red symbolize . Whats the change well see in olivia and in all of you . Ooh, wow. What is the change . If you say 9 00, 8 00 central no. It feels like it feels like were not hiding anymore. It feels like which is ironic because of the clip we just showed of hiding. But it feels like everybody is trying to step into their new truth. But are you sick of being on the white horse . Do you have a different agenda now . I mean, i think everybody is still struggling. Thats so much to me what the show is about. Everybody is trying to be the best version of themselves. Well, not everybody. Be an upstanding person. Trying. Not everybody is not everybody is able. I was going to point right to your dad. No, no. He thinks hes being the best version of himself. Absolutely, he thinks hes being the best version of himself, yeah. I mean, nobody does a soliloquy like you, my friend, thank you very much in front of my entire case. Theres just something about the lilt in your voice, and i love the dynamic thats happening or that im sensing between you three, scott foley and guillermo, my hunk. Whats to come . What can you tell us about the dynamic between that triangle . Well, the last thing you saw, right, was that he walked into my house, which means that were either going to be very close, or theres going to be a lot of blood. Really . Okay. Oh, wow, look, look at the action. Oh, well we have a chyron up. You cant see but i just saw a very touching moment. It was. It was sweet, wasnt it. It was sweet. Im not feeling well be singing kumbaya during that scene. You dont know. I mean, like you said, the last thing we saw jake walking into there. You know, there was some harsh understandably so. Yeah. But i think theres an open door. And, huck, i want to ask you. Your character is probably the most complicated. I just called you huck. Okay. Guillermo, how is that for you to play it must just be a delicious piece of meat for an actor. Yeah. And then also what can we expect from your character . Its awesome. You know, im the luckiest guy. I feel like im on television to be able to portray huck, but, you know, huck, i think, is trying to be that normal guy. You know, hes trying to be that guy. Really, hes trying really, really hard and as you saw in one of those scenes a few episodes ago where he doesnt end up torturing rowan was a major step forward. Huck is getting soft. Yeah, well, i dont kind of. I look at it as hes getting stronger. Amen. Hes getting better. That, i agree. I absolutely agree. Resisting the trying to break yeah. Katie, next to you is cornelius. He is the newest gladiator. [ applause ] yeah, yeah, yeah. You are willing to do. Very true. My friend. So how yet. Oh, really. I mean, who knows. Who knows. Thats true. How will that dynamic work, though, when youre willing to pull teeth literally . I think that youll see a lot Going Forward about what its like to have a new gladiator in the office and how we all sort of deal with that energy and what responsibilities we give him, what we dont give him and all right, and then darby, who is my fashion icon, always fun to see you. Ah. And abby, poor abby, thats tough to be in that press room. You had a hard time with the press corps. So, do you get a break . Does the president finally call you abby . Abby comes into a little bit of a different scene in this second half of the season, and there is a major change. Ooh. Thats all i can say, major. All right. Capital major. Has one of the biggest story line . Should we be watching abby . Yeah, yeah. I know. I havent even gotten to this side of the room. Every story equal opportunity writing. But abby i would say every character has major changes. And i mean, portia, this little threeway back here quite literally and, artemus, welcome to the family. Youre fantastic. [ applause ] i want to hear about that. And ive been saving i mean, your trouble all the time playing cyrus beene and the president and first lady and were going to have to wait to save the best, the nuggets of your relationship and, of course, with this gal, kerry washington, because we do have more with scandal coming up.

What we always do, right before we drop the pasta in the water we salt it, so you always remember. Right before i put the pasta in i put the salt. Salt is free on today. Then we cook it al dente and if you do it you cook it according to the package instructions written right on the box. Cook it one minute short of that and then throw it in with all of the rest of the things we call palm de menu. Here we have sausage. I crumbled. I put three of the links back in the freezer. A tip is, dont be afraid to dont thaw things, dont leave it on the counter. Take it out the night before and put it in the fridge and broccoli is blanched in water and throw it in like that. You blanched it. How long do you blanche . When you blanche things you bring water up to a boil and you throw it in quickly with a little bit of salt, take it out after one minute, put it in ice water to shock it and refresh it which retains the chlorophyll. See, im glad i asked. Retains the crunch and that also helps you know youre maintaining some of the vitamins and minerals. Very nice. Good. All right. So if you dont have a colander around the house or a sink. Hold on, let me reach for the sink. Ooh, sorry. Virtual kitchen. The virtual sink is so good. Whats important in good pasta dishes is dont take the noodles out and just put them naked on the plate. Ah. You toss them into the pan with the condiment so the two separate ingredients thats such a good idea. The noodle and all the other stuff come together as one. Yeah. Now well add a little chili flakes. A marriage of flavors. Exactly. Cheese. Just a little cheese. Cheese is expensive and cheese will mask it. Use that grater right there. And you buy your cheese in bulk. Buy my cheese in bulk and also i only keep in the refrigerator how much ill use that week, a half pound. The rest in the freezer wrapped twice in foil and then in a plastic wrap. You can freeze that. You can freeze cheese the hard, dried cheeses you can freeze. The fresh cheeses not so much. We are learning so much this morning. I know. Put the cheese actually in there is what we want. Put the cheese in the pan. So that it melts, almost becomes a little like fondue. Oh. One of the big things about italian pasta cookery is that its about the balance so it would seem to us abudanza, keep putting more stuff in. Its about simple food. You never see giant italians Walking Around on the street. They eat pasta every day. Its because they eat the right portion. All right. Thank you so much. This is amazing. So good. Robin is like eating. Robin is a good eater. But shes clearly a responsible eater because shes slim and sexy. Youre good. Stop it some more. You can get recipes at goodmorningamerica. Com on yahoo i just almost spit it out. Lets go outside to rob. Well save you some, rob. Looks delicious and hot. Were cold out here. You bought the hat here. Good job. Chilly for sure. Where its warmer though is the midsection all the way up to the northwest. Temperature in the 70s. Dallas, 50s. Look at billings, 59 and 60s in southern oregon. The northwest will see more rain coming in after a dry spell. All right. This Weather Report is brought to you by weight watchers. Amazing, 3. 21 for this. More fun with the cast of stay with us. Our favorite gladiators in this unprecedented behindthescenes look on the set of scandal out in hollywood with me so early in back again for the winter premiere. I got to get to the president. So jeff and tony, tell me about your dynamic. Tony, so much changed for you, no wife, no mistress. Right. You and jeff are back together. Were working together. But as you saw in the last things are pretty strained between us so abby really has are you going to hit on abby now . I cant tell you anything about that. Whoa. I think you were just giving us a little a little oh, look at bellamy. So, meanwhile, bellamy is like, thats fine. Bellamy doesnt like me. Bellamy doesnt care about olivia being gone. She doesnt care about you. She is focused on becoming the president of the united states. Yeah, yeah. Right . Doesnt get much help from her ex. If she needs it. Amen. Amen, sister. Amen. So, are you watching helping other places. Who knows. Hence, why we saw bellamy in olivia popes office earlier in could it be . Could it be . Thats what this segment is all about. Digging, digging. All right. I want to talk to cornelius, the very handsome, very earnest gladiator, newest member of the team. Getting on the set, working with family what was that like for you and what was something that surprised you, a scandal secret about one of your cast mates. First off i was really surprised just how much it felt like a family on set. People are really genuine, open and like family when you kind of get in there, you get teased a little bit. [ laughter ] thats true. Ive had my share of let us not say pranks but a little bit. They put a little sprinkle on. What else . I love to eat. I found somebody who loves to eat just as much as i do. Who is that . This man. Yeah. Every morning. How long are the days on the set . Tell me about the days because i imagine a show like this very crew in hollywood. This crew like any of us [ applause ] our crew is tireless, and they are professional and like they are the family youre not seeing here because no way wed be sitting here without them and they work harder than anybody up here. And theyre here today with us. They came in. Thank you, guys, behind the scenes. So one of our viewers wanted to know who hangs out off screen . You guys are working 13hour days. We all do. Ive actually been out with a few and ive seen you all the wine flows even when youre not in olivias apartment. Yeah, definitely. The girls like to gather and do walks and we do too. Boys do too. Did you guys watch the super bowl together . Anybody . No. I want to ask you, kerry, your wardrobe changes, which did you like better, being the gladiator in white or the kind this one it was tricky for me. Like our very first sitting, it was in the script that olivia starts wearing bright colors and lynn and i kind of froze. We sat and looked at each other and decided to try again the next day. One of the ways ive distinguished between kerry and olivia is i wear a lot of bright colors and she doesnt. Its been confusing but were finding our way. Were figuring it out. It was a huge shift. On set too. Your Costume Designer deserves an award. Lynn is a genius. I agree. I just need to know before we go, can you really remain alone . Youve got youre flanked by your two loves. Can olivia pope stand on her own two feet . I think its also thats an interesting question. Are you alone when you are surrounded by friends and family. Like she still has her gladiators. Maybe thats enough for now. Is that enough . Maybe. It is what her father wants for her. Oh. Stand on her own two feet and do her thing on her own. Listen, command. We always worry about what your ulterior motive is. My ulterior motive is to make sure my daughter is happy. Or dead. Believe hands down. So, who here is going to leave our gma moment and thank you so much for having us and for coming in early and go home and take a nap . Raise your hand. That we can raise. I dont blame you.
