I had made clear in this campaign that we will conduct this campaign with a very highest standards of integrity. Reporter cruz warning attacks on his character could ultimately derail his campaign.

You saw several United States senators, several Congress Members of congress, governors, former governors, all coming out and endorsing marco rubio yesterday. Really quite a list including bob dole, the 1996 republican nominee. But, george, dole told me, i talked to him about this. He told me that, if rubio cant find a place to win on super tuesday, if trump sweeps on super tuesday then he you might as well start printing the inaugural invitations that trump will be the nominee.

We move on to a big headline about distracted driving. New evidence this morning that those distractions from texting, even changing stations on the radio, lead to a majority of big role. Abcs Rebecca Jarvis here to explain. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter hi, george, good morning. This really goes to show you just how crucial it is to Pay Attention while you are driving. The new Research Showing that in twothirds of crashes drivers were distracted just seconds before the accident and in 90 of the most severe crashes, drivers were distracted. Weve seen that frightening video. Texting, chatting, changing the tunes. Resulting in crashes each and every time. [ screaming ] reporter and this morning, new evidence that not only is distracted driving a major factor behind car crashes, but that the risk of crashing rises significantly when drivers were emotional, angry, sad, tearful or agitated. The study conducted by the institute surveyed 3,500 drivers between the ages of 16 and 98 through a threeyear period. The author says that distractions that take a drivers eye away from the road create the greatest crash risk. The most common being reaching for a cell phone, reading or writing or using touchscreen menus on the dashboard. The lead author of this study says these findings are particularly useful because they show just how distracted teens were while driving. He says if something isnt done soon to limit the distractions there could be scary results in the future. Also looking on the dashboard too. Part of those distractions playing around with the radio, doing things that people do and theres so much to see in the car. So much going on. Should be some way to disable the drivers phone .

There is no scientific proof that rhino horn has any medicinal benefits but people firmly believe it does have the attributes that its said to have.

Light snow still falling and youll find it west and south of denver. Here in town quit a bit of cloud cover. But skies will continue to clear.

Look, theyve all got their phones on sharing in this incredible experience the great migration in africa. Oh, yes. And amy is live in tanzania this morning. Absolutely stunning, that how much are you loving this . These animals are really cooperating with us. Its incredible. I know and youre there with us. Weve got our five live cameras and there is so much to see. Im here with animal planets dave salmoni and we just found a herd of buffalo. These are incredible, majestic creatures. We just saw those lions live, and, dave, its funny. Theyre not afraid of much but they are afraid of these guys. Although lions are the king of the jungle, they do have to watch out for these guys. These are the reason more lions die than any other reason exist. When they feel threatened they react aggressively. If they felt threatened theyd send a couple sentinels and just kill whatever is in their way. Were at a safe distance. A good thing, and well have so much more interesting and fun facts as dave likes to call them about all these incredible our two drones, our live drones may have just found a herd of elephants, so were going to be headed over there next. Cannot wait to bring that to you. We cant wait either. That buffalo is storing up his energy there. But to see them in their home on their turf. All these interesting facts, too. I love this. And technically amy is in exactly the right position because shes upwind of the i knew you couldnt resist that. Buffalo dont smell so you ran that fact dont say that, sam. No, its beautiful. You can see he listens to us. Well go to cecilia vega. Dont come to me after that. Good morning, guys. We begin with todays republican caucuses in nevada.

Thats amazing, right . Hes the most chill rebounder around. Us, cecilia, appreciate it. Now, a Surprising New report about mastectomies. The u. S. Department of health and Human Services revealing the number of women who undergo double mastectomies has tripled. Abcs news chief Womens Health correspondent Jennifer Ashton is here to talk about this so tell us, give us some details about this increase. So, robin, this was not a study but an accumulation of data from 2005 to 2013 and over that eightyear period some interesting trends were observed. As we just heard, the rate of mastectomy overall has increased by 36 . The number of women having double mastectomies, that tripled over the eightyear period, and women who are choosing double mastectomies were about ten years younger than those women who were having single mastectomies, and this was all in the face of the Breast Cancer rate staying yeah, so its staying stable but yet women are taking these measures because they its individual. And they have to do what they feel is best for them. Exactly. As a doctor, when do you think it is right for a double or single mastectomy . So, difficult question and obviously, as you said, it does have to be individualized but three kind of main reasons why a woman would choose a mastectomy. Number one, if they have a genetic mutation like the brca mutation that weve talked about and most people know about, second reason, if its a large tumor in a relatively small size breast because, again, we have to take into account cosmetic issues, the risk of being disfigured with the treatment of the cancer and lastly, patient preference. Women still can say, i dont want to go through that increased surveillance, stress, followup long term, and so i want to choose what i think is the best course of action. And quite a few think that way. When you look at it, theres some controversy about does it even getting it in the first place if you have a mastectomy. And this is what most people dont know, robin. To be clear, and we have known this for some time, the risk of recurrence or death after being treated with mastectomy versus lumpectomy with radiation is the same, so this treatment that is surprising. Has to be individualized. When people hear that, you think absolutely the same so this is a discussion women need to have with that breast surgeon and needs to be right about them. Its about treating the whole woman and not just the body part. Each woman and men go through Breast Cancer, as well. Were thinking of senator mccaskill that she has been recently diagnosed and she said the prognosis was good so were thinking of her. Over to lara. Heres whats coming up on our gma morning menu. We are, as you have seen, on safari getting up close with the most majestic animals in africa. And then we are learning more about a tribe there.

This is a stop on the great migration, one of the natural most majestic wonders of the the middle of it now. We really are. We are moving through this 100mile crate irhere with animal planets dave salmoni headed to where the drones are right now. Those live drones over that herd of elephants. Its simply incredible. We have five live cameras for you at home to be on safari with us so as were experiencing it, so are you at home and, dave, i want to take a look at this drone footage and these elephants. Weve seen these guy, right. We saw them fighting the other day. Yes, we did. What happens is when theres babies around which is right around now the girls, they kick all the young boys out so they dont hurt the babies so now theres a little group hanging out, bachelors group, boys will be boys. Called satellite males because they hang out near the the herd. I love what you told me about the power of their trunks. The trunks, absolutely, one of their biggest strengths. In their trunk. The lion and the elephant is the third threatened species here in this continent, those tusks are beautiful but theyre certainly unfortunately a commodity on the black market in the asian market. Yep. We need to do more to protect them. What happened was when the asian markets grew and more new wealth you needed to have ivory tusks and that rhino horn. Theres a lot of time and energy into keeping them safe. Specifically in the crater there is a natural barrier that 2,000foot wall where a volcano once stood higher than mt. Kilimanjaro. This is a protected area but there are also measures in place from antipoaching patrols, tell me a little about what they do here thats been so successful. One of the big things i said, its hard to get in here without being seen. But i think the biggest success of this park it was the first park ever to partner with the local people so on top of the anti geography all the local maasai will recognize those they dont recognize and tell antipoaching people theres a problem. Look at this picture of an elephant. Its just incredible. You are seeing this elephant move through the tall grasses in the middle of the great migration here at the Ngorongoro Crater. You are seeing him do what so many, 2 million animals are doing right now, live, they are in search of the nutrient rich grass here. Absolutely. This is the largest mammal oal on the planet. Imagine how much food they have to eat. Only digest 30 of the food they put in. Hes pulling up that grass and putting it in. Hes going to put in a lot to be that big. Yeah, and these animals travel far and wide. Yeah, another fun fact i like about these guys is that they actually talk to each other with a subsonic so we cant hear it but can talk from miles and miles to each other to tell each other how they are doing. I was hoping we would see what we saw yesterday, those two young males sparring. Its part of the social structure. These males will all at one point want to breed with the herd so the boys that win those little tussles right when if comes to breeding time the strongest, the fittest, he gets to have time with the ladies. But i also love speaking of the ladies as we look at these four cameras live over had incredible herd of elephants. The women are in charge. Women, its a hierarchal structure so the girls decide where they go, when they go and how they go. If they dont want a boy around send him out. Just like us. Just like us, dave. Absolutely. Ladies rule the house. As were moving through the crater and, oh, were here. We made it. Oh, my goodness. Elephants. Youre seeing them too. They are so beautiful but theyre far away from the rest of the animals in the crater here. They move around. Do they like to be alone. Seclusion. Its just a matter of theyre eating Different Things and moving in certain areas so the herd thats close is closer to happens is, the crater has a lot of different habitats so you can see the water when we had the flamingos, a forested area and theyre in the area that the girls like the most, the trees, because the herd will be there. Its so incredible and were showing this to you live with our five cameras but the one camera you really can get an immersive 3d Virtual Reality experience is that im360 camera near the forest here. Thats where the black ryan and elephants will be. You can check it out on your tablet, your phone. You can pan it, look up, look down, zoom in and really see everything as its happening here in the crater during the great migration and this is something that is so spectacular. Its one of the wonders of the world. Natural wonder of the world and the reason is theres so many. Never seen mass amounts of animals move together as a team. So obviously what theyll do is theyll follow the rain. Have something to eat and when it gets eaten they have to move on. This is where a lot of these wildebeests and zebra and gazelle all come to have their babies. You say zebra, i say zebra. You say wildebeest. I say africa gets to name the animal because they have it. I grew up in north america so i used to call it zebra and wildebeest. Youre correct and im wrong. Its all right. With all of those millions, 2 million migrating that is when the lions come out to play because they have a steady food source. All the predators so in the crater here youve got eight prides of lions and youve got hyena, everything eating, unfortunately, all the new nutrient thats coming in which is the animal. Nutrient rich grass because of its volcanic beginnings. Absolutely. The reason why they have all their babies at the same time protection in numbers. Its the odds of, hey, i wont be the one that gets grabbed by the babies are on the ground so only a small percentage can be grabbed by predators. Its beautiful as were looking at these live pictures of elephants just slowly moving. You pointed this out to me yesterday. They look like theyre moving in slow motion. You say they can outrun any man. The slowest elephant would outrun usain bolt. Wow. You can see the ears flapping because its so hot right now so he or she is cooling himself down because he runs blood through his ears. Isnt this incredible back in new york. Hes saying that the slowest elephant could beat the fastest man in the world, is that what we just heard. Thats a true statement. Thats unbelievable. Im so glad you guys explained the great migration because we were all wondering where theyre going from and where theyre going to so thank you for the education. Amy doing a great job holding on. Hard reporting on the road, fast speeds doing an awesome job. I also learned my house is women rule. You know what, amy, youre making us feel that we are there with you. Thats the beauty of it so we do feel like were there. Thank you. That was the idea. And because ive never seen an elephant out of captivity i never seen one reach down and grab that huge amount of grass and just take it in. A thousand muscles in the trunk. Is that what they said. Amazing. I love their big ears. So beautiful. I love these pictures. This has been a spectacular thing. Lets get you by the way, need to talk about weather this morning because dallas pd is working fuhrously. Weve had a lot of bad accidents. Trailers flipped. A lot of strong winds and rough rain.

Its a dream. We welcome you back to our gma safari. Youre looking live at some amazing footage coming in right now from tanzania. Oh, my goodness, and our im360 camera is providing a live 360degree Virtual Reality view. You can experience it on any device with a tablet like you, sam. Youre playing along. Yeah. I actually think you did a better job of this yesterday. Im going to try to do this smoothly and calmly because this thing is actually sitting in the middle of the crater, so you can spin it. You could do this on your tablet you know, when they say shgs where is that report that i morning, you say, well, im a its in the Ngorongoro Crater. Its in the Ngorongoro Crater here with and to me, amazing. Im going to take you on a sky trip. Okay. Because, look at this. Tell us about the clouds. Because you have colder air aloft, you have these incredible cirrus clouds. You would not expect it with the you the difference there. Theyre saying, no, sam, talk to amy. Im fascinated by the clouds, guys. I am. Its just me. Amy, you brought us rhinos and you brought us elephants and you brought us lions and now hippos . Now hippos. We have our live drones over the hippos right now. They are in the water there because, as you said, sam, it is really hot in africa right now. Dave salmoni here with me too. We are on the move once again holding on headed towards those hippos, but, dave, these are towards humans the most dangerous animal in africa and responsible for more deaths than any animal in africa. You say they have natural sunscreen. I put some on. They do not. On a hot day like this theyll lay out and youll see theyll turn like a little pink color and youll think theyre getting sunburn but actually its an oil that comes out of their skin and protects them. Is this common that theyre all hanging out sleeping there in the lake . Yeah, this is part of the day. Theyll come and sleep in the water during the day, and at nighttime they come out and graze. Even though theyre that dangerous, they only eat vegetables, grass. All right. That is good to know. There are so many incredible animals here in this crater, and the ecosystem really works because its the only place where people coexist with animals. Those people are called the maasai, and i got the opportunity to go into one of their villages and experience a very happy celebration for one young couple. Theyre known as the maasai, a parts of east africa, historically cattle herders and fearsome warriors. The day we visited, a celebration, the village chiefs daughter, 20yearold endoya getting married to 27yearold megaliki. She is the first wife of probably what will be many wives . Oh, yes, its a very big deal because no matter how many wives he can have, the first wife is always like the pillar of that family. Reporter these two of maasai descent are translators from abercrombie and kent tour operators showing us around. The bride somewhat shy leaving for a new one after the groom paid a dowry of cattle. See, just before they left the brides home, you know, the elders from the tribe who ask her, are you ready to go with this man, and she said yes. The boy also was asked that, are you ready to take good care of our daughter . And he said, yes, he will. Centuries old traditions, the maasai are grappling with change and reconciling their place in the 21st century. How do you keep them away from electronics and modern advances . Its hard because, you know, a few who have a chance to go to school, they see cell phones, they see television and, you know, as they see that, they come home and they want it. Reporter and yet the wedding we witnessed shows their determination to carry on their traditions for centuries to come. We saw the boys were jumping and the girls were singing. What is that tradition . Whoever can jump higher and can maneuver the jumps impress girls, and whichever girl can shake the shoulders of their white necklaces better than the others will impress the boys. You know, its one of the few tribes in africa which is still very proud to their culture. We want to thank abercrombie and kent for giving us that incredible access, and speaking of access, you have at home an seeing live here with five cameras and our two drones over those hippos in the pond cooling themselves. You say theyre sleeping in there, dave. They sleep there during the day and then at nighttime they come out and have their grass. Certain times they have pools like that where certain males will get a territory in that water and theyll try to convince a couple of girlfriends to come and hang out with them and those are his girls. Those are his girls. The males are in charge in the hippo family. I doubt it actually. At times of the year theyre more aggressive but it doesnt mean theyre in charge. They eat grass during the night. During the day do they ever get out of the lake or water . Thats where they get the grass, on land, so thats probably what makes them so dangerous is because theyre Walking Around at nighttime. There are people Walking Around at nighttime without flashlights and because theyre dark and gray, if a hippo gets nervous, he reacts with his mouth open and starts biting. Those jaws are something. How big, how heavy are these hippos . They can be up to two tons. Wow. Youll never outrun a hippo. All right, dave. Im going to send it back to you guys in new york. Its really stunning, that youre looking at. By any chance do you know, vivid why that pond and the lake is so green . Thats an algae, so when you have Shallow Water and lots of sunlight, you get a lot of algae. Do they like it . They wont eat it but they got fish in there. Theyre eating all that stuff. It all works. Very vivid, though, thank you, both. Jesse, i had a great question too. Is the lake shallow enough theyre standing, or are they that good of swimmers . I was wondering that too. Are they floating right now . Are their feet on the ground of that lake . They can do both. They can float. They can stand. Most likely theyre standing. Thats where they feel most comfortable and thats where theyll sleep but a hippo can hold his breath for more than 20 minutes. Two tons and they can float. Yes. They can control their buoyancy from their belly. Their nose go pooof. Dave can make a hippo sound. They chuckle. They go [ imitating hippos ] thats a really good impression if you know the sound. Im learning so much. Im embarrassing my family back at home. I apologize. We are loving every second. Every second. We are, dave. Lets go outside to sam. Hippos all over the world were like, what did he just say . What did he say . Hey, good morning, gang. How are you . Nice to see you guys. Where are you from . Kansas city. And . New york. You were stumped by that . Where you have many homes . I dont know. Where are you from . I moved around. Rochester. And, by the way, can we state your name . Jim moran. Beard to covet, my friend. Beard to covet, even though he wears it in florida, which im not so sure, jim. Im not so sure. Lets get to the boards. One or two things we got to talk about. Weve got this little hit of snow and rain weve got in the new york city area. Also on to massachusetts and this is probably about an hour away before we start to get and then we get the mix but heres the big deal. This comes later. Through the south today with all that rough thunderstorm action, also it will deliver snow to the chicagoland area in through Central Illinois and we also think near poplar bluff, missouri, youll be getting a little bit of that. And this is very heavy rain. Look for the areas shaded in yellow and red, if thats you would you hold that . Would you hold that as we talk better . This morning weve been watching the circle of life experience. And you can watch it through samsung gear powered by oculus, by the way. Its a full 360 view, but also other things you can do with it. Shes at samsungs 837 wearing our gear powered by oculus. Were looking at what rachel is seeing and now you can see all the tanks around her and wait a minute. What is that . Is that a shark . Rachel, are those sharks . What is it like . Like a fish . So, this is apparently ten times scarier than seeing a shark in real life is putting these goggles on and watching them. All right. 360 experience gear all thanks to samsung. Lara. All right, sam. Thank you so much. Come inside because this week we are going from morning time to prime time and today is my day. I got to show my acting skills on the muppet show. The classic is back. Its back and better than ever, kermit, miss piggy, the whole gang have returned. This time the show is documentary style, follows the muppets as they work just like our crew, goes behind the scenes and theyre working on a show called up late with miss piggy. And do play a part in the show thanks to a very dear friend of mine that you might recognize. He is the notorious shrimp known for dating some of the worlds most beautiful women. In real life, he oozes that legendary je ne sais quoi. You have great shoes. Oh, thank you. Eyes up, pepe. Eyes up. That melodious voice. My love theres only you in greg, please, im singing to my lara. Reporter those inquisitive eyes. I just want you to know that i love you. I missed you. Call me, all right. Okay, i admit it, i have become attached to that little prawn and slightly possessive. What is your phone numbers . Lara, i thought pepe only had eyes for you. Im very upset right now. But i forgave him when he finally invited me to see him at work as a writer on up late with miss piggy. Oh, i love champagne. Is a mockumentary of the muppets workening behind the scenes to get miss piggys late night show on the air. Desperate housewives with Water Bottles full of chardonnay. Wanted me to be a guest but apparently as usual he had Something Else in mind. Hi, pepe. I thought i was going to be a guest on the show. What happened . I have no idea. There is not a Single Person here except you and me. I know, but i thought i was going to be miss piggys like well, you know what, you come back. Why is nobody here, though . Well, were on a little hiatus, a little break. Yeah, but youre here. Why are you here . Because i heard you were coming. Oh, my gosh. How are you . Im tired, very tired, lara. You are . Youre just going to take a rest. Just exhausted. You are. Okay, you can lean on me. Strong and ill be your friend so go on. It wont be long yes. Look into my eyes. I cant. Look into my eyes, tell me you love me. Tell me you love me. I love you. Oh. Adorable. Lara, you got a lot of selfcontrol. That is impressive. I mean, hes not an easy man to say no to. Or an easy prawn. Easy prawn. Now, you are actually going to be on the show, though. I do have a part in the show and well tell you right now. We want you to go to gmas facebook and twitter and check out behindthescenes, theres a blooper of my muppets debut. The episode im on airs tonight 8 30 eastern, 7 30 central. I play myself, thankfully, and, yes, pepe is involved in the scenes that im in. So amy offroading right now. Weve got a lot more live in africa when we come back. No more wild prawns. From small prawns to this, a rhino. Youre looking live at our amazing safari in tanzania. Some rhinos right there. Were going to get it back to amy. Amazing. Who is there for it all, amy. We are enjoying this. It is so cool, robin. Yes, we have a very unusual sight here. Well bring it to you live. These two black rhinos behind me and dave. Dave, this is very rare. Yeah, you dont see them together very often. They usually are solitary but when you do get a group together its called a crash. A crash of rhinos behind us. This is a really important sighting right now because we are talking about those animals threatened here in this continent. T. J. Holmes has more on how you at home can help the war on extinction. Reporter yeah, robach, thats perfect that youre seeing those black rhinos because on this reserve, hluhluweimfolozi here in south africa this is where rhinos are being decimated, at least four killed over the last week, week and a half but this drone camera that was flying around spotting me, the program is called air shepherd. The ground. This could be key to the future of the rhinos and also an Organization Called tusk has helped 36 endangered species all around and including the black rhino and elephant but make sure you check these organizations out. There are a lot out there. Check them out and find a way to help but, robach, youre about 2,500 miles away from me here. Well hop in the car and drive up to see you in the crater. All right, that sounds great, t. J. By the way, if you want some names of some of these organizations to help, we have the World Wildlife foundation, endangered Wildlife Trust and the wild foundation, and there are more organizations on our website, so check that out. Its so important and, dave, you were telling me part of whats helping these animals, the conservation effort is to have tourists come to parks just like had. Absolutely. People always worry about the type of impact we have with vehicles and drones and what i tell you is that the most animals in the most wild spaces in africa are protected through ecotourism so if you come were buying and paying for a absolutely. Youre creating jobs and youre all the money youre spending on these safaris are going to partner with the local people who are living here amongst these guys, and if theyre working here, theyre not killing animals. And its so incredible because that black rhino population in this crater is at 40. That is one of the largest its the densest population of black rhinos in africa that i know about, so this is probably the most successful Conservation Program for black rhinos that exists that i know of. It is breathtaking and the rhinos are starting i was just told the rhinos are running. They are akind of running. Theyre sauntering maybe. Having a little puff around looking around, checking things out. Can they move quickly . Theyre very fast. These guys are ones you never want to walk into in the bush because when they see something, they come horn first. I will take a note of that before i walk into the bush, robin. So glad because we thought they were making a run at you there for awhile. But, amy, please thank dave. Because thats so great what he is saying because theres some saying should we travel there . Are we disturbing them when theyre there, but you dave, an excellent point, youre going there providing opportunities so they wont poach. So they wont do things to harm the animals, right, dave . Yes, absolutely, because if this wasnt here, then it would be farmland, and all the wild animals would be gone. Wow. Good point there. It really is. I love it when you learn these pictures are amazing, but were learning so much too. Yeah, i learned that a large group of rhinos is called a crash, and theres so many more fun facts as dave calls them. You guys have done a spectacular job. And then i saw some wildebeests, and i know he calls them zebras. Im trying to work on that and the rhinos altogether. I imagine they would be like really, really far apart. I did not imagine that you would see them within like, you know, 50 yards of each other hanging out together. Kind of minding their own business, yeah. Wow. Look at that. Oh, i dont like the way hes looking at you. Youre safe, robin. Yeah. Were going to have much more. Come on back. To have ba da ba ba ba when you get one gig internet from centurylink and prism tv and theyre both delivered on a superfast Fiber Network directly to your home, its amazing. It is amazing, just yeah. Um, paul, i think its a little bit more like, its amazing was really good. Wow. Feel like a hollywood insider. Okay, ill work on it. Plus gig Internet Speed from centurylink. As we look at those hippos right there in africa, we want to tell you that t. J. Will have much more on the mission he went on with those park rangers in south africa. Theyre using, drones, infrared technology to track down rhino killers. That is tonight on nightline but right now we want to go back to amy. Yeah, can you believe, george, all of the animals weve seen live here in the past two hours, weve seen lions, weve seen buffalo. Buffalo, yes. Elephants. With the rhinos there, elephants. Weve seen hippos, weve seen i could go on and on and on, wildebeests, zebras. Gazelles. Its just been remarkable and such a stunning, stunning live experience for all of you back at home. I want to thank dji for those drones because, wow, have they captured so much. In fact, lets take a look at what our drones captured for you couple of hours. Life goes on and gets so heavy the wheel breaks the butterfly every tear a waterfall in the night the stormy nights you close your eyes in the night the stormy night away she flies and dreams of para para paradise para para paradise para para paradise oh oh paradise oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh what an incredible experience and something that i know neither one of us will ever forget. I hope everyone at home felt like they were in the jeep here with us at the Ngorongoro Crater. Back to you. Thank you so much.
