No laughing matter. Will ferrell under fire for his plans to play Ronald Reagan suffering from alzheimers in a new film. The former president s family in an uproar. What they are saying this morning. And good morning, america. Happy friday. What a morning it is here in times square. We are kicking off the finale of our huge wedding event. Its huge. Final touches under way as you can see. The countdown is on for the big finish to our 24hour marathon 100 weddings in one day and it has been an incredible event. Look at elvis there. Yes, absolutely and were calling it our wide world of weddings. Taking place all over the globe. Right here youre about to look at a ceremony in south korea just moments ago and so much more of our celebration coming up and some very big surprise guest, as well. A lot of surprises this morning. I hugged one of our surprise guests this morning. It was very nice. Were excited about that. A lot more to come but first we want to get to the big headline this morning, the race for president and those violent riots breaking out overnight. The images stunning at Donald Trumps rally in california. This all as the candidates prepare for the critical indiana primary just four days away. Abcs cecilia vega has the latest from evansville. There is a lot to talk about, cecilia. Reporter amy, good morning to you. This is a critical battleground here and the main newspaper here is announcing its support of Hillary Clinton and john kasich calling donald trump, quote, a danger to the United States and to the world. Overnight, Donald Trumps first california rally was met by hundreds of protesters who clashed with police in riot gear, they jumped on police car, drove doughnuts, nearly 20 were arrested. One trump supporter beaten. But before heading to the golden confidence inHoosier State. Indiana will have such an impact on who its going to be and im the only one to beat Hillary Clinton. Ted cruz in the Hoosier State too in dire need of an upset to stay in the race. We are at the edge of a cliff staring downward and it is the common sense and good judgment of the Hoosier State that is the one thing that stands between us and plunging over the cliff. Reporter cruz now enlisting his new running mate to join the tag team fight. But this morning the fight on the gop side hotter than ever. Former House Speaker john boehner heard in this recording telling Stanford University students what he really thinks of cruz. How about ted cruz . [ laughter ] lucifer in the flesh. In washington i have as many Democrat Friends as i do along with almost everybody. But i have never worked with a more miserable [ bleep ]. Reporter and cruz fired right back. Good morning, everyone, he allowed his inner trump to come out. See, if youre happy with john boehner as speaker of the house and you want a president like john boehner, donald trump is your man. Reporter and back to donald trump, there was a scare at his manhattan headquarters overnight. Some workers evacuated after they discovered an envelope addressed to donald trump contained a suspicious white powder inside. Police say that powder was not found to be contaminated, george, but they are investigating to find out what it was. Yeah, they got to the get to the bottom of that. A lot of raw feelings out there. Cecilia, thanks very much. More from jon karl and lets start out with the importance of indiana. You heard donald trump say indiana will have an unbelievable impact. Walk through for everyone why indiana is so important. Indiana could be the last stand for those trying to stop trump. Take a look at where the race stands right now. He needs less than 250 to clinch. That brings us to indiana on tuesday. 57 delegates in the state of indiana. The winner will get almost all of those and if you look at what trump has done so far, he has won 51 of all of the delegates so far. If he wins indiana, george, he only needs to win 44 of the remaining delegates. He can coast his way to the nomination, even if he doesnt do as well as hes been doing. If he loses indiana he needs to delegates. Difficult, he needs to do better impossible. Cruz. For donald trump. But that would set up a big contest in california. Meantime, you had former Speaker Boehner with those tough words for ted cruz and sort of indicative of the kind of challenges cruz has faced in this campaign. Reporter absolutely and now youre seeing Establishment Republicans starting to get used to the idea of donald trump as two reasons for that, one, he is winning, the other reason they really dont like ted cruz. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. We have some big weather headlines to get to. Some severe storms overnight. A state of emergency declared in mississippi after damaging winds and heavy rains drowned the south leading to dozens of rescues. Ginger is here with all the latest. Good morning, ginger. We have severe thunderstorms on the map at this hour. Happening this morning in parts of arkansas and oklahoma and look at the snow in colorado and new mexico. Major temperature gradients setting up. A powerful storm, potential for flash flooding from houston to texarkana. Just look at these pictures. A state of emergency in gulfport, mississippi. Nearly 10 inches of rain falling in the past 24 hours. Winds so fierce this traffic light came crashing down barely missing an suv. Police taking to the streets in boats rolling out a vehicle specifically designed for my youngest son called me and said mom, my room is flooded. Wlox capturing this rescue live. This is it a dangerous situation out here. You can see a woman running and helping that other driver. Biloxis river swelling at least 17 feet in the past 24 hours. In gould, oklahoma, a new system spinning up a striking supercell. And in the panhandle of texas, hail pelting drivers. So much falling, people breaking out the snow shovels to clear paths. And just outside indianapolis, a possible tornado slicing through parts of boon county. So heres the setup today. Weve got that dip in the jet stream, the low slides across the panhandle of texas and Oklahoma City to dallas right there to almost little rock and enhanced risk for Severe Weather. The biggest threat would be hail and damaging wind but still the potential for an isolated tornado along the stationary front sitting there. Stationary meaning its going to of rain. Were talking flash flood potential anywhere from the gulf from houston to new orleans again, right up to close to little rock and parts of alabama and mississippi too so this is a big one. Itll be around for a couple of days. Ill have much more coming up. Covering a lot of the map, thanks. Time for the nfl draft. It kicked off with a lot of excitement. Surprises and some controversy. After a series of social media posts appeared to cost one hot prospect millions of dollars, abcs ryan smith here with the latest. Good morning, ryan. Reporter quarterbacks jared goff and carson wentz topped the drafts first round but the talk of the evening offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. His draft stock fell dramatically when minutes before the draft his twitter and Instagram Accounts were hacked, he claims and a damning video posted. With the first pick with the second pick with the third pick. Reporter while the draft is where dreams are made, its also a place where theyre dashed. Overnight offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil touted as one of the best players in College Football sat most of the night the reason, just minutes before the draft began, this video of the allstar athlete smoking out of a bong was posted to his twitter page. The video and tunsils twitter account quickly deleted but the damage was already done. If you cant keep yourself on the straight and narrow as far as your choices, how can they pick you. Reporter tunsil sat waiting as team after team after team passed him up while he waited additional images were uploaded to his Instagram Account showing alleged Text Messages between tunsil and one of his college coaches, tunsil allegedly asking for help paying bills and rent. The Miami Dolphins select Laremy Tunsil. Reporter tunsil eventually falling to the 13th pick overall. Facing questions about both social media posts at a press conference after the draft. Man, somebody is hacking my account and, man, i made that mistake, you know, several years ago and somehow somebody got in account and apparently somebody attacked my Instagram Account too. Reporter they addressed the leak saying we had known about it. The video is two years old so from all the information we had, we were comfortable with it. And on taking money was an exchange between you and your coach money. I have to say yeah. That admission could potentially get ole miss in trouble with the ncaa. Ole miss telling us the university is aware of the reports from the nfl draft regarding Laremy Tunsil. We will aggressively investigate and fully coop wait with the ncaa and the s. E. C. Tunsil was suspended by the ncaa for the first seven games last season for accepting improper benefits. And ryan joins us now. Put dollars and cents on it. How much did that end up costing him. The ravens were considering him for the sixth pick. If he had been selected there that would have been the difference between 7 million. He was once in the conversation for the top spot. Now while the quarterback picks difference between the rookie contracts at the quarterback position number one and where he was picked at 13, around 15 million. We all remember the Johnny Manziel draft controversy. You cant blame them for being gun shy. They want to make sure they know who they have and be troublefree and Laremy Tunsil said that was in the past, ive changed and the dolphins said lets take a chance on him. Thanks very much. A reminder that nothing is private on your phone. All right. Thats true. Thanks. Now to another big headline. A bomb scare at a baltimore tv station.

Navy veteran, his wife tatiana and tatianas sister mariya all charged with the marriage fraud scam to get a green card for mariya who is a russian citizen. Usually the case that those who have violated immigration laws are only discovered in the course of some other type of criminal investigation. But when the fbi arrested farooks best friend Enrique Marquez for providing the guns in the attack agents say he admitted he was being paid to go through with a sham marriage sister. Authorities found mariya was living with a man in los angeles who she said was the father of her child and not with marquez. The government to date has provided no evidence to indicate the three were involved in the attacks in any way or knew about them in advance but continue to investigate. Amy.

Reporter the church is pushing back hard against these allegations providing abc news with pictures of ron at leisure enjoying fancy birthday meals provided by his son. He was working with first class musicians in one of the best studios in the world. He had nothing to complain about.

A big warning after a former texas beauty queen says a stranger targeted her with a tracking device slip it into her purse and monitoring her every move and abcs gio benitez is here with how it happened.

Alexandra ahmadi says she was hoping for a simple Birthday Celebration at a lounge just a week ago until a stranger changed everything. He approached me and asked me, oh, are you the birthday girl. I said, yes, i am and he said thats awesome. So do you mind if i buy you and your party a drink to celebrate . Reporter ahmadi says the man wouldnt leave her side. At one point giving her this. I didnt really think anything of it so i set it on the side of my purse and, you know, right when i think right when i turned around is when he slid it inside my handbag. Reporter its actually a bluetooth device and its maker tile tells abc news it was designed to help locate personal items quickly, such as key, within a close proximity. Ahmadi says the man somehow hacked her phone. Later sending hi slew of obscene Text Messages also calling her my lady and asking can we be friends now . Come to my house. But heres the catch, she says she never gave out her number. During that night he was calling me several times facetiming me, sending me extremely inappropriate photos. Reporter ahmadi went to police launching an official investigation. Anybody watching this story should be cautious of the technological advances out there now and while these things are really good if youre looking for your keys or your pets some of these things can be used for bad purposes. Reporter and tile insists the device is not meant to be used this way. Police of course still have many, many questions, by the way, one officer realized her phone number was actually public on facebook and that is, of course, a reminder to keep that information just locked down.

Back now with funnyman will ferrell famous for playing characters like former president george w. Bush now set to play Ronald Reagan in a new comedy but the reagan family says there is nothing funny about it. Abcs linsey davis is here with the story. Good morning, linsey. Reporter Ronald Reagans family says alzheimers is no joke and that watching their father slowly succumb to the disease was painful and not material for a comedy. When it comes to impersonating president s, will ferrell is comedian in chief. Im entering the race for president of the United States of america. Reporter this morning, the w. Bush is set to take on a new president ial portrayal, Ronald Reagan. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. Reporter ferrell will star in and produce reagan set in 1984 when Ronald Reagan falls into dementia, the start of his second term, an ambitious intern is tasked with convincing the commander in chief that he is an actor playing the president in a movie. I think thats the real controversy here is not the film necessarily making fun of reagan but the idea of alzheimers being a possible joke in the film when its obviously a very touchy subject. Reporter members of reagans family are expressing outrage at ferrell for turning their fathers personal struggles into political satire. In an open letter to ferrell on thursday reagans daughter patty davis wrote perhaps you have managed to retain some ignorance about alzheimers and other versions of dementia. Perhaps if you knew more, you would not find this subject humorous and reagans son outrage. Alzheimers is not a joke. It kills. You should be ashamed, all of you. Even the Reagan Foundation is speaking out against the film, a statement to abc news said in part we find it disgusting that such a film would even be considered by mr. Ferrell or anyone else. There is no substitute for victory. Reporter when james brolin depicted the former president known as the great communicator in the 2003 miniseries the reagans, the reagan family put so much pressure on showtime they pulled it. But this time may be different. Given ferrells attachment the film business will get behind it and get it to the light of day if we reached out to will ferrell. He declined to comment. While the film is about Ronald Reagan fall nothing dementia during his second term as president , he was not diagnosed with alzheimers disease until 1994, six years after he actually left office. So have they filmed anything yet or all just proproduction. Sounds like its still preproduction. It is a comedy but we dont know if hes making light of alzheimers, in what way. A lot of questions, thank you very much. Coming up, viva elvis, the king playing a big part in our wedding event. Our big finale ahead. Sam champion at the helm. Our next hour, a parenting alert.

It reveries the way you Pay Attention to things could affect your children and dr. Jen ashton is here with the details. What did it find. Good morning, george. This is really all about a attention Holding Ability and joint or combined focus between two people and looked at 32 of them and tracked the way they interacted with a toy while playing. If you look at this video this is from the parents perspective. What you cant hear is that its not just that theyre holding an object and expecting the baby to look at it. These about 10montholds to 12montholds but using different intonations and facial expressions and what they found the object or interacted with it, the longer focus the baby put on that. If youre into it, the baby is into it. Absolutely. Its not always easy or realistic for parents so whats your advice . That is an understatement and any parent knows that. The important thing, stay in the moment. Its so hard when you have a baby not to try to kind of do other things but, remember, if youre staring at your phone, what are you teaching your baby to do because they follow what we do, not just what we say. Keep the multitasking to a minimum and its really about the interest, the attention and the response that youre giving that moment and that play because play sets the foundation for learning, social development, language development, this is really important. Good stuff. Thanks very much. Now lets go to lara with the morning menu. Heres whats coming up on our gma morning menu.

We are back now with those inflammatory comments from wants what she calls the perks of maternal leave without having kids. She calls it meternity leave. She was supposed to join us right here live. She has just pulled out of the interview. There has been so much backlash about her comments, viewers across the country weighing in on this all night long. Editorial coughing there. Because perks of Maternity Leave. Its the opposite of me temperature leave. Youre giving yourself to another person. Thats what youre doing, taking care of another life. Its not about a perk. Maternity leave. Youre recuperating from giving birth. And then attending to every need of a child who knees you. Anyway thats what amy and lara thinks. Take a look at what everyone else is talking about. Some women got pregnant. I got poe motions. Reporter meghann foye worked long hours for ten years constantly tethered to her feen even when out of the office burned out and unlike so many women who became pregnant and she never got to take what she describes as a break. So she decided to take as she calls it a meternity leave and she said other childless women should take one too. In an article for the New York Post she explained it seems that parenthood was the only path that provided a modicum of flexibility that allowed her coworkers to leave at a designated name and maternity time gave them a whole new lens through which to see their lives. It struck a nerve with angry mothers raining that Maternity Leave is hardly a retreat. With readers calling the article ridiculous and baffling but in the article meghann says women are bad at putting our selves first but when you have a child you learn how to selfadvocate for the needs of your family first, a wellcrafted me temperature leave can give you the same skis and claims shes advocating for all workers, Work Life Balance is tough for everyone and happens most when parents and nonparents support and dont judge each other. As we said meghann foye was to respond to all this she just pulled out so Rebecca Jarvis stepped in as well as dr. Janet taylor who has four kids herself. I chuckled the flexibility and motherhood being symbiotic. It makes you inflexible in so many ways as we know but i want to ask you, dr. Taylor, i think most mothers would agree that a me temperature leave and Maternity Leave are like diabolically opposed in terps what have they mean to one another. Two Different Things entirely. Theres no question you need me time but Maternity Leave is not a time of purpose i mean i play, passion, reflection. Its a time of you bonding and being sleep deprived but all about your child and attachment and theres no timetable on that. Its the most selfless time youll ever have in your life. Its not about you at all actually. By the way, being a mother is lifelong. You dont check in and check out lets talk about the outrage. I mean i dont need you to explain why im upset but maybe for viewers who are feeling that maybe she has a really valid point and i think, rebecca, youre among them. Explain why so many mothers are upset at this notion. Well, i mean once again it pits moms versus nonmops and as women we dont need that. I think it really makes minimizes the notion of stress and guilt for working moms and it also really undernines the fact that being a mother is a 24hour 7 day a week full Time Commitment and we cant belittle that because we know that our kids just dont need us when theyre younger and infants. They need us throughout their lives. So true and, rebecca, i know she did touch on a point meghann did that there is resentment that sometimes builds among women who dont have kids and moms in terms of who is working longer, who is working harder. Right, and i think that that can exist. I just want to clarify something. You said that i agree with her i think for me as the daughter of a working mom who sacrificed absolutely everything for my sister and i, i appreciate absolutely everything that she put on the table and im hoping to be that working mom someday and i plan to take Maternity Leave and i look forward to my husband taking paternity leave because of all of the leaps and bounds that companies have made over time but i do think that theres something going on in society right now where people are delaying parenthood longer. The average age of a first time mother is 26. On top of that companies in the Great Recession cut back so dramatically there are fewer people to fill that void when someone is out whether its for Maternity Leave or heaven forbid sick leave there are fewer people to cover the void in the workplace and i appreciate how people who are still sitting in the workplace feel when they have to fill in for whomever that person is but if somebody, again, as plans to hopefully have that bond someday with my own child and plans to have children someday, i can that and that i think supersedes everything else. But its even about filling in, i think theres a reality about what it takes to be a mom. That means taking time off. There are a number, millions of women who cant even take a day off because if they take a day off theyll lose their jobs and dont have Maternity Leave so i think its again not pitting us versus them but understanding as women, as mothers as much as paternity leave we make the ultimate sacrifice. The nerve that was touched is Maternity Leave has nothing to do with me time. Thank you both for joining us. George, lara, we could keep talking about this. It does stir up a lot of conversation. More of a happy morning. So well have our huge wedding celebration right now. 100 weddings in 24 hours still counting all around the globe. So many special moments. Really has been great.
