>> thank you, kevin. >> thank you, kevin. that was -- i like the fact that you said that you're a little bit more on my side. >> listen i'm both with you. >> you're convinced? >> i like the advice very much. yes. >> okay so when i see you again in a year i want to see no debt. >> yes. >> you got it. >> you got it. >> absolutely. that's wonderful. now go forward and procreate with capital. >> good luck, guys. kevin, thank you. over to lara. >> thank you very much and next in our "heat index" we have the latest beauty on the go trend. it's really taking off. this is a new business rolling out hair extensions that will make your hair look longer and more luxurious and in no time flat. linzie janis tried it out. >> reporter: from rows to blow-outs even a little air brushing and now the latest venture in speedy styling. hair extensions. typically a trend dominated by celebrities like kim kardashian megan fox and ryihannarihanna. przl a new beauty bar is now offering services fit for a princess deliver rg3 luscious long locks just like disney's rapunzel in an hour. its founders founding it after realizing there was a great demand with few solutions. >> i wanted to have fuller hair like i did in my 20s and found it was difficult to get. >> the bar offering three times of extensions. the quickest option clip ins. >> they get clipped into your head like a barrette. >> but will cost you a pretty penny, about and only last for one day but they are reusable. if you want your fast follicles to last a little longer the salon suggests tape extensions. >> a double doze of gorgeousness. >> they run about $350 but last up to eight weeks. the third treatment rpzl text. revolutioning it by using ultrasound to apply the air instead of heat. the treatment costing a whopping 550$550 to $850 and said to last three months or more. it's amazing. having worn my hair short sinces of a kid. i decided it was time for a change. let's do it. >> tah-dah. >> wow. >> total time it took. >> i didn't even know that was you. >> me either. >> i thought it was a special correspondent. >> i feel like barbie. >> so how long?

you're looking at some stories percolating for a long time. what happens on a week like this week this whole brian williams thing. >> i interdo know if we'll look at that. normally we like to wait. we're only on once a week so late to everything anyway so we've generally moved towards being even later and try to wait until the hubbub has died and look at it with more per perspective perspective. i don't think we'll look at brian williams. >> how about the "downton abbey," congressman who decorated -- >> that's too tantalizing. as a comedian look there is ee blood in the water. >> we might tune in for that. >> if you cut me till i bleed or put a congressman with a "downton abbey" office in front of me i don't know what you expect me to do. yes, that is catnip to me. >> when you look at it you are doing comedy and you want to make people laugh more than anything else but it's got to be gratifying that you made people think? >> i guess so that's a pleasant by-product but, you know the main thing we're doing is comedy so if you get to the end of a joke and someone is just thinking you have failed. you temperature want an audience at a comedy show to say i thought all the way through that. that was quite a contemplation for the whole time. no reallys a visceral way to judge comedy. if there's not laffer you have failed. >> amazing life on youtube. >> getting hit in the nuts by something. >> i could but we're running out of time so you're saved by that. okay john oliver thanks very much. the show comes back on sunday night. coming up behind the scenes of ginger's incredible adventure in iceland. look at that dramatic footage. >> amazing life on youtube. in iceland. ♪ i'm on top of the world ♪ it's been an incredible week. so enjoyed watching the incredible footage of that live active volcano in iceland. the whole thing captured live here on "gma" earlier this week thanks to drones and ginger you were smack dab there for it all. >> what an adventure. behind the scenes of that un unforgettable trek to the land of fire and ice. hovering just above that bubbling earth. >> oh, my gosh. you can see it. look at this. we're just getting inside that crater. >> witnessing the meeting of mother nature and modern technology. it was the ultimate adventure. drones have in a responsible way a huge future in science. >> reporter: now broadcasting live from iceland above a lava field using drones is no easy feat. >> 380 feet over it. oh my goodness. so how did we get up there? let's rewind a bit to the arrival of our intrepid "gma" crew the journey began saturday when three engineers from london one producer from new york one drone operator from germany and one from san francisco all met up in akureyri iceland. the team drove 2 1/2 hours to pick up 30 cases of equipment including a satellite dish and generators that had been shipped ahead of their arrival. sunday morning it was a six-hour drive to the bardarbunga volcano. our team set up 25 miles to the northeast near an eruption site called eded eded hoularaun. >> in the cold mostly it's battery life and they don't last as longer and if you get too close it becomes too hot and the plastic could melt on these drones. >> reporter: the drones have just 12 minutes of battery life so while our team is hard at work in iceland, that arctic air is not just creeping but racing in david. monday night after reporting on "world news" in new york my race to the airport began. an hour and 15-minute delay later my plane took off for the nearly six-hour flight to iceland where an hour car ride and nearly two-hour-long helicopter ride later i made it just an hour before you heard these words -- >> ginger and our "gma" extreme adventure team are there live as we say -- >> good morning, america. >> a good unforgettable morning indeed. you can see even more of that behind-the-scenes action from my trip to iceland at our website, goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! >> what will you remember mosey. >> just the crew being like i can't believe it worked. i can't we're here and it happened and the proximity, how close we got to the lava. >> so incredible to see how much work went into making that all happen. >> that's the thing. i just dropped in. seriously. dropped this and they had been working for a week. >> just in the nick of time. >> just before it happened so big thanks to all of them. it was magic what happened. >> a lot of people are wondering, anybody in danger around there, the concern for people that live will. >> there is a reason they don't allow people to get that close. we had to have special government permits because that area could flash flood very quickly. if the lava started flowing we had a helicopter to get out and get people to higher ground but you don't want a lot of folks. >> how close do people live -- >> eruptionwise they're far enough away that flash flooding is the only concern. >> ginger thanks again. safe and sound. cody simpson here live performing his new single "flower" right here in times square.

>> no, the letter women get in the mail says the mammo was normal, ps, your breasts are dense. level four dense breasts, it's like looking for a snowball in a snowstorm because cancer is white. we have two issues with density. one, it camouflages cancer, breast is white, fat is black. the denser your breasts, the whiter it is, and cancer gets overlapped and missed. second issue, the densest breasts have five times the cancer risk versus fatty breasts. you have more cancer risk and can't find it. >> can i ask you something else?

ginger look at this. we have got visibility about a half a mile. the snow is blowing sideways andbly sard conditions. people have had to dig their cars out and squeeze them in if you're lucky to find a spot going to and from work. this guy right here he didn't bother digging his car out maybe because he knew this was coming. here we are, it's groundhog day. it's happening again. this morning the

everyone calling for a pass stealing their fate. >> intercepted at the goal line! >> reporter: the patriots unlikely star malcolm butler with a game-stealing interception. brady literally jumping for joy. seahawks quarterback richard sherman shocked. >> i just had a vision that i was going to make a big play and it came true. >> the new england patriots are the nfl champions. >> reporter: wiping

>> he's in great company as you know amy. thank you. we'll check back in a bit. for more on the big game we're bringing in jessie palmer and you heard what amy -- good morning first of all. you heard what amy said about mr. brady. third time he's the mvp. he said he wanted to win this game more than any other and that the team was able to do it but the distractions and drama and they just played football. >> yeah. robin, tom brady cemented his legacy. one of the top two quarterbacks to play in the national football league. debatable whether him or joe montana. watching him was as good as i have seen him play in a super bowl. to throw the football 50 times against the nfl's best defense. the patriots put it in his hands to win or lose this game. he was accurate and poised. he played his best football down the stretch bringing his football team back in the fourth quarter. that's the fourth time tom brady has led a game-winning drive in a super bowl. remarkable. a team that had to battle lu adversity all season long. all we talked about was a deflate-gate and the leaders in the locker room kept the distractions outside of that team. they were able to play their best football when it mattered the most. this was a magical season. one of the all-time great super bowls ever played by the new england patriots. >> especially the finish. the acrobatic catch to begin with and you think the seahawks are poised. the one yard line. they don't give it to the beast, they don't give it to lynch. they go with the pass. a lot of people raising their eyebrows about that play call. >> robin, it was a terrible play call by the seattle seahawks and the most important play of the entire game. i give them credit. in the two minute drive they were aggressive throwing the football down the field. but you're on the one yard line. you have got a time-out in your back pocket and arguably the best short yard damage goal line in the entire nfl. you have to hand the football to marshawn lynch. he's one of the best offensive lines in all of football. that will haunt him for all of time. >> this may haunt you as well. dan harris is sitting next to me and i was told yesterday you said something on the air -- you said is the patriots going to win and he said -- i quote it. you said you were going to laugh in his face. is that correct? >> you know dan, i was really hoping you were going to take this morning off from work. but i'm glad to see that you actually came in. >> yeah. >> i feel like i was robbed of my moment of glory to see how to just run the ball on tv right now and just to prove to you i'm a good sport i wore my new england patriots tie just for you. >> i think it would be unbecoming for me to gloat. i really do. especially since you're a former nfl player and i'm maybe 5'8" on days of using my wife's shampoo. but i will say this. in your face. in your face. >> yeah. we still love you jessie. >> i'm ashamed. >> no need to be. >> next time dan, you're mine.

>> thank you, kevin. >> thank you, kevin. that was -- i like the fact that you said that you're a little bit more on my side. >> listen i'm both with you. >> you're convinced? >> i like the advice very much. yes. >> okay so when i see you again in a year i want to see no debt. >> yes. >> you got it. >> you got it. >> absolutely. that's wonderful. now go forward and procreate with capital. >> good luck, guys. kevin, thank you. over to lara. >> thank you very much and next in our "heat index" we have the latest beauty on the go trend. it's really taking off. this is a new business rolling out hair extensions that will make your hair look longer and more luxurious and in no time flat. linzie janis tried it out. >> reporter: from rows to blow-outs even a little air brushing and now the latest venture in speedy styling. hair extensions. typically a trend dominated by celebrities like kim kardashian megan fox and ryihannarihanna. przl a new beauty bar is now offering services fit for a princess deliver rg3 luscious long locks just like disney's rapunzel in an hour. its founders founding it after realizing there was a great demand with few solutions. >> i wanted to have fuller hair like i did in my 20s and found it was difficult to get. >> the bar offering three times of extensions. the quickest option clip ins. >> they get clipped into your head like a barrette. >> but will cost you a pretty penny, about $250 and only last for one day but they are reusable. if you want your fast follicles to last a little longer the salon suggests tape extensions. >> a double doze of gorgeousness. >> they run about $350 but last up to eight weeks. the third treatment rpzl text. revolutioning it by using ultrasound to apply the air instead of heat. the treatment costing a whopping 550$550 to $850 and said to last three months or more. it's amazing. having worn my hair short sinces of a kid. i decided it was time for a change. let's do it. >> tah-dah. >> wow. >> total time it took. >> i didn't even know that was you. >> me either. >> i thought it was a special correspondent. >> i feel like barbie. >> so how long?

you're looking at some stories percolating for a long time. what happens on a week like this week this whole brian williams thing. >> i interdo know if we'll look at that. normally we like to wait. we're only on once a week so late to everything anyway so we've generally moved towards being even later and try to wait until the hubbub has died down and look at it with more per perspective perspective. i don't think we'll look at brian williams. >> how about the "downton abbey," congressman who decorated -- >> that's too tantalizing. as a comedian look there is ee blood in the water. >> we might tune in for that. >> if you cut me till i bleed or put a congressman with a "downton abbey" office in front of me i don't know what you expect me to do. yes, that is catnip to me. >> when you look at it you are doing comedy and you want to make people laugh more than anything else but it's got to be gratifying that you made people think? >> i guess so that's a pleasant by-product but, you know the main thing we're doing is comedy so if you get to the end of a joke and someone is just thinking you have failed. you temperature want an audience at a comedy show to say i thought all the way through that. that was quite a contemplation for the whole time. no reallys a visceral way to judge comedy. if there's not laffer you have failed. >> amazing life on youtube. >> getting hit in the nuts by something. >> i could but we're running out of time so you're saved by that. okay john oliver thanks very much. the show comes back on sunday night. coming up behind the scenes of ginger's incredible adventure in iceland. look at that dramatic footage. life's morning multitasking. it's multiple ideas for growing families and drawers with many layers to show exactly what you need. life's the food that brings us together. and kitchens where every meal is the most important of the day. >> amazing life on youtube. in iceland. ♪ i'm on top of the world ♪ it's been an incredible week. so enjoyed watching the incredible footage of that live active volcano in iceland. the whole thing captured live here on "gma" earlier this week thanks to drones and ginger you were smack dab there for it all. >> what an adventure. behind the scenes of that un unforgettable trek to the land of fire and ice. hovering just above that bubbling earth. >> oh, my gosh. you can see it. look at this. we're just getting inside that crater. >> witnessing the meeting of mother nature and modern technology. it was the ultimate adventure. drones have in a responsible way a huge future in science. >> reporter: now broadcasting live from iceland above a lava field using drones is no easy feat. >> 380 feet over it. oh my goodness. so how did we get up there? let's rewind a bit to the arrival of our intrepid "gma" crew the journey began saturday when three engineers from london one producer from new york one drone operator from germany and one from san francisco all met up in akureyri iceland. the team drove 2 1/2 hours to pick up 30 cases of equipment including a satellite dish and generators that had been shipped ahead of their arrival. sunday morning it was a six-hour drive to the bardarbunga volcano. our team set up 25 miles to the northeast near an eruption site called eded eded hoularaun. >> in the cold mostly it's battery life and they don't last as longer and if you get too close it becomes too hot and the plastic could melt on these drones. >> reporter: the drones have just 12 minutes of battery life so while our team is hard at work in iceland, that arctic air is not just creeping but racing in david. monday night after reporting on "world news" in new york my race to the airport began. an hour and 15-minute delay later my plane took off for the nearly six-hour flight to iceland where an hour car ride and nearly two-hour-long helicopter ride later i made it just an hour before you heard these words -- >> ginger and our "gma" extreme adventure team are there live as we say -- >> good morning, america. >> a good unforgettable morning indeed. you can see even more of that behind-the-scenes action from my trip to iceland at our website, goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! >> what will you remember mosey. >> just the crew being like i can't believe it worked. i can't we're here and it happened and the proximity, how close we got to the lava. >> so incredible to see how much work went into making that all happen. >> that's the thing. i just dropped in. seriously. dropped this and they had been working for a week. >> just in the nick of time. >> just before it happened so big thanks to all of them. it was magic what happened. >> a lot of people are wondering, anybody in danger around there, the concern for people that live will. >> there is a reason they don't allow people to get that close. we had to have special government permits because that area could flash flood very quickly. if the lava started flowing we had a helicopter to get out and get people to higher ground but you don't want a lot of folks. >> how close do people live -- >> eruptionwise they're far enough away that flash flooding is the only concern. >> ginger thanks again. safe and sound. cody simpson here live performing his new single "flower" right here in times square.

after getting a restraining order against racing's outlaw. what she says about claims of being a government assassin, only on "gma" this morning. the driver was armed with a blue steel handgun, six dogs are in the van. >> and dognapped. these six pooches stolen at gunpoint swiped in a doggie day care van. the desperate search right now for them and the men that stole them. and good morning, america. to our viewers in the west. we want to begin with that developing story in los angeles. the health scare at ucla meld call center where seven people have been infected with the potentially deadly superbug. 200 more at risk. sececilia vega has the latest. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. this superbug is extremely dangerous and it can be deadly. already linked two deaths here at this hospital. the cdc said they don't want to see it spread anywhere in this community. this morning, nearly 180 patients treated at ucla's ronald reagan medical center warned they may have been exposed to a potentially deadly bacteria. >> it's a very potent virulent organism that can cause, you know, death. >> reporter: in a statement overnight the hospital revealing seven patients have tested positive so far and they say an internal investigation found the outbreak may have been a contributing factor in two deaths. the drug-resistant superbug known as cre likely transmitted to patients by contaminated medical scopes. >> if it's not cleaned out, quote/unquote cleaned out appropriately, then it can spread from one person to another. >> reporter: ucla saying it g to the manufacturer. but that it is now using a decontamination process that goes above and beyond the manufacturer and national standards. the new fear, more confirmed cases of a bacteria that by some estimates can kill half of those infected. a similar outbreak from contaminated medical scopes infected more than 30 people in seattle from 2012 to 2014. other confirmed superbug cases in cities like pittsburgh and chicago. in los angeles, federal, state and local health officials are now investigating sending out warning letters to those potentially at risk. those letters offering patients a free at-home testing kit to determine whether they are infected. these patients who are at risk whould have this procedure done between october and january, george. so many questions out here this morning about how this could have happened. and let's get answers from dr. richard besser, thanks, cecilia, very much. you know, rich, you hear this word superbug, sounds so scary. what do we need to know? >> it is very concerning. this isn't the first outbreak that's linked to a scope. cre is one of the worst bugs that we know about because you're almost running out of antibiotics but a couple points people need to know. many people can have this in their body and it won't cause any problem. but you need to identify those people, one, because they could get infected but also if they come into the hospital, and most of these people are in the hospital a lot, you have to use strict contact precautions so they don't spread it to other people. >> i was so surprised to see that these scopes can transmit even though they're sterilized. >> one of the things about it as they've looked in many of these outbreaks they can't find a breakdown in any of those cleaning procedures so there's something going on here, whether they have to change the procedures or not, but there's a reason that scopes are spreading this in hospitals. >> meanwhile, you got very positive news overnight on breast cancer, the treatment for breast cancer. >> yes, so this is very exciting news. one in five women with breast cancer have a type that's called her2-positive, very aggressive. what they found is, in treating women who have this cancer that is spread in their body adding one drug can extend their life by more than a year, to about five years, and with that very few additional side effects. >> and this could have potential for getting cancers earlier, as well. >> yeah, what they're finding is that if you can understand why a cell becomes cancerous and target that, you can come up with treatments like this that improve the outcome, improve lives and have far fewer side effects than many of the treatments we're using. >> love that encouraging news. rich besser, thanks very much. now to record-breaking cold in the east. temperatures more than 30 degrees below zero in some places. take a look at this incredible picture. imprint of the jeep after the driver pulls away. just a sampling of how cold it is. our extreme team covering it all. let's start with you. >> reporter: 15 here. wind chill zero and this is almost 15 degrees warmer than it will be tomorrow. the core of that cold air is sinking south and east. wind chill advisories all of the way to south florida. record possibles in key west. it's not just the northern plains anymore. chicago, this morning, feels like 28 below. st. louis, 10 below. little rock 12. 6, nashville. so many records to be broken and then tomorrow morning, it sinks even farther south and east. the wind chill in miami will be just above freezing. it has happened before. it doesn't happen often. 28 will be tampa then for the northeast, records can break from d.c. to philadelphia. right now, all of that cold air has settled in in the mid-south and that's where we find our matt gutman this morning. >> reporter: that's right, ginger. pretty cold. this thermometer tells part of the story. the steam coming off tells the rest of the story. dangerous in the northeast. including this shopping plaza. >> i don't think had any warning. >> reporter: five people pummelled by snow buried chest high. >> i just saw people buried in the snow. two of them transported to the hospital. >> i moved my head so i could scream for help. there was other people. two other guys were screaming for help too. >> reporter: high winds and white-out conditions changed multiple chain-reaction crashes. black ice blamed for a series of pileups. >> the salt mix is going to be off the table. >> reporter: kentucky i-65. this may look clear, but there may be rough patches. >> here and there, yeah. >> reporter: lake michigan frozen. the delaware river so choked with ice the coast guard had to deploy an ice-breaker. that arctic cold piercing deep into the south. that nashville, it was cold enough for ice hockey on the streets. in these conditions frostbite can set in in just minutes. the problem is it's only going to get colder here. this miami boy takes it very seriously. i have about seven layers on -- one, two, three, four -- you get the picture. george. >> you can stop right there and put that glove back on. cold keeping kids home from school and we're going to go to abc's alex perez in chicago. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. it's so cold parts of lake michigan freezing over. the waves creating these huge ice boulders. now, for the fourth time this season chicago public schools and a number of midwest school districts have canceled classes today because of the bitter cold. here in chicago we will struggle to get out of the single digits today and the feel-like temperature will be hovering around 20 below zero. of course, authorities taking no chances, warming centers are open for those who need help escaping the cold and authorities say, if you don't need to be outside today, stay inside. it's simply too dangerous. lara. >> alex, you get inside. thank you so much. we do want to go now to upstate new york and an incredible image for you this morning. niagara falls nearly frozen over creating a spectacle of snow and ice and gio benitez is there for us this morning. and good morning to you, gio. >> reporter: lara, good morning to you. you know, this is the first time i've seen the niagara falls in person and i got to say, this is a spectacular sight. there happens to be a lot of mist right now, because the temperature here, it feels like 17 below zero right now. let's see if we can get the camera to come over here. and you can see the niagara river and you can see all of this ice piled up there. the falls itself, over there, you can see those powerful falls, those aren't going to freeze over because there is so much water. that powerful water coming up from lake erie. this ice building up because that ice is just falling off from that lake. over here, if we can just zoom in real quick, there we go, the mist has come off. you can see those frozen icicles there in the distance, at the niagara falls, and we have a photo right now of what this looked like yesterday. really, really incredible images here at niagara falls, lara. >> gio, i can tell it's hard to talk it's that cold. get inside. we thank you for those images. >> ginger will have more later. now to politics. jeb bush slowly starting to build his case to be president making his first big foreign policy speech wednesday. abc's jon karl is at the white house and, jon, the one thing jeb wanted to make very clear he loves his father, his brother and he even said he loves his mother but he is his own man. >> reporter: indeed, and, you know, being part of a political dynasty that's already produced two presidents has obvious advantages but jeb bush wants people to know he is not just another bush. his brother was president. his father too. and if jeb bush runs and wins, we'd have three straight republican presidents named bush. so when it comes to family, jeb bush wants to make one thing perfectly clear. >> look, just for the record one more time i love my brother, i love my dad, actually love my mother as well. i hope that's okay. [ laughter ] and i admire their service to the nation and the difficult decisions that they had to make. but i'm my own man. >> reporter: to make that clear bush acknowledged that his brother, who left office with some of the lowest approval ratings of any president, got some things wrong. >> there were mistakes made in iraq for sure. >> reporter: but it's not that clear-cut. just five years ago, before he was thinking about running himself, jeb bush declared he would support his brother, quote, till death do us part. >> i'm the only republican that was in office when he was in office as president that never disagreed with him and i'm not going to start now. >> reporter: and even now bush has released a list of 21 of his foreign policy advisers, all but two of them worked for either his brother or his father. there's one place where jeb bush is more than happy to plan on the family name, and that is fund-raising, he's tapping into the bush family fund-raising network with great effect. in fact, lara, i expect that he will raise more money in the coming months than all of the other republican presidential contenders combined. >> and, jon, i expect you are right. we thank you so much and now lets turn to amy with this morning's other top stories. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with new concern overnight about rising gas prices after a massive explosion at this exxonmobil refinery near los angeles. the blast so powerful it was equal to a 1.7 magnitude earthquake melting steel and coating buildings in ash. four workers were injured. gas prices could spike as much as 15 cents in california because of production delays. and drivers across the country already paying more to fill up. overnight, aaa reported a 21-cent increase since this time last month. and now to the war against isis. president obama addressing criticism for not using the term islamic extremists. at a white house meeting the president insisted isis fighters are not religious leaders but rather terrorists who have perverted islam. he called on moderate muslims to speak out against terrorism. and hundreds of people attended a vigil for slain hostage kayla mueller in her hometown in arizona. the american aid worker was killed while being held by isis. mueller's brother says he has a hole in his soul that will never be replaced. and new trouble in the standoff with russia. ukraine's president is calling for an international peacekeeping mission in eastern ukraine after pro-russian rebels captured a key town despite their cease-fire agreement. and the las vegas family at the center of a deadly case of road rage is now returning thousands of dollars in donations. they actually shut down the website set up after tammy meyers was shot and killed as outrage donors called them liars. the family initially had said that an angry driver followed meyers home but now police says meyers was shot after she dropped off her daughter and went looking for the driver with her son armed with a gun. well a manhunt is under way as an inmate escaped from a jail caught on camera. watch as the prisoner runs out of the cleaning closet just as a worker opens the door. there he goes. police say he had crawled through the ceiling. he was facing burglary charges. the sheriff blames budget cuts for a lack of guards. well, if you want to feel good about your health and your family and your job, apparently you should head to alaska. the annual so-called well-being study ranks the frontier state number one. hawaii was second. south dakota, third. researchers define well-being as how people feel about their daily lives. and finally, an incredible bird's-eye view. take a look at who walked in front of this webcam at levi stadium. you think that's funny. wait, it gets funnier. the camera was set to track construction work but instead it chronicled this raven. very nice. only we could hear those pipes. no word if this raven was inspired by this seagull we recently showed you who likes to walk behind news anchors. >> it was just an excuse to show that. >> those birds are hams. >> it was just an excuse to show that. >> so funny. >> giant seagull. >> i had a spider behind me before which is fun and frightening. >> scary. >> you just freaked out my daughter ellie. you know that story was for the birds, this story is for the dogs because police, yes, police in chicago are hunting for two men who stole a doggie day care van with six dogs inside. their owners are desperate to get the dogs back and abc's reena ninan has the story. >> the driver was armed with a blue steel handgun and they fled southeast on milwaukee. six dogs are in that van. >> i just want my dog back. >> reporter: this morning an all-out manhunt for these six dogs and the men who stole them leaving their owners worried sick. >> i was so surprised that someone would take a van full of little dogs. >> reporter: police say the pups were inside a van like this one when two armed men stole the van, sped off in the river west neighborhood of chicago. >> everybody's heart is just aching right now. >> reporter: joseph giannini owns urban out sitters and says the driver was taking the dogs home for the day during rush hour traffic when the robber struck. >> it was just that fast. >> reporter: the dogs, scarlet, jaydn, kayla, mochi, busy and even a cutie named brad pitt. >> i got a text from my wife saying that our dog had been kidnapped and i'm like -- i couldn't even comprehend what that meant. >> reporter: their main concern. >> i'm worried about him in this cold weather. >> we really want the van to be left somewhere in an area that people will hear the dogs barking or even see the van. >> reporter: hopeful that these dogs will have their day. >> we'll find their dogs and get their dogs back to them. >> police say a witness actually tried to stop the two men but backed off when one man flashed a gun. police at this hour on the hunt for a 2002 silver chrysler town & country van with illinois plates. >> get those dogs back. >> heartbreaking. >> who does that, really? >> thank you, reena. so, ginger, we're coming back to you and we know what it means, another storm. >> i can't get over that. otis used to go to urban out sitters. i hope they get the dogs back. places are in the midsouth imprisoned by ice and another storm coming. let's take that picture. this is north carolina and that is all ice. you can see it on the bottom of the bench there in the foreground but all the hills rolling behind and hendersonville, north georgia, a lot of pictures coming in like that, and winter storm watch, arkansas through memphis, nashville and just north of atlanta and into north carolina. more coming for friday through the weekend. so how much more? we're worried about

>> no way because if i had thought for one second that he was still angry or crazy i never would have even come there. not even if he's sending me these distressed texts because i'm not going to put myself or my son in a situation of danger. that's not the kind of mom i am. >> what was going through your mind after this happened to you? >> shock. you just can't believe that someone that you love who you spent four years with could hurt you like this. it's unbelievable. i pushed his hands away and i ran out of there. >> reporter: busch has denied the assault allegations all along. his attorney tells us did not commit domestic violence and he plans to appeal the order of protection. he's also planning on competing this weekend in the daytona 500. one of nascar's biggest races worth more than $1 million to the winner. nascar issued a statement after the court's decision saying it would await the full finalings of the commissioner and any actions by the attorney general of delaware related to the allegations against busch and that it fully recognizes the serious nature of this specific situation and the broader issue of domestic violence. let's talk about the nascar's reaction to this whole incident. >> as a sport and the statements that they've made i'm very disappointed. >> you don't think -- >> in their reaction. >> what do you want and hope this all ends up being?

>> mackenzie. >> mackenzie says this is nothing. she's from rochester, new york. and a lot of people are waking up and saying doesn't it kind of feel like siberia with this air? guess what, places in minnesota are 42 below and the air is coming from siberia, so you're not -- you can actually say that without joking. it's called the siberian express. it's how that air moves over the pole and look at this the temperatures these are temperatures this morning, 1 for st. louis. nashville tied a record. we're going to check on that. louisville certainly broke one. detroit is 5 below this morning. chicago did drop to 8 below and pittsburgh, 0 at this hour. it's like siberia and this is nothing. this is 15 degrees warmer than we are tomorrow so enjoy. all right. >> good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco with the bay area forecast. we have low clouds and fog until 11 o'clock and sunshine and high clouds and warmer-than-average today through saturday. cooler for oscar sunday. but no rain with the transition. possibly rain next week in the forecast. as far as today, mid-to-upper 60s and a sprinkle of 70s inland and low 60 at the coast. the seven-day forecast shows we are warm. until oscar sunday and we are four to six degrees >> okay, we have michele from dayton here. she has a question. >> brandon, want to go to turn about with me? >> no pressure brandon. okay, let's get back inside. >> turn about? >> must be a dance or something. >> good luck. >> we'll see what he's going to say. >> we'll kick off our "heat index" now. kristen bell taking a strong stand on vaccines. the mother of two kids under 2 says she won't let friends hold her new baby unless they're up to date on their shots. abc's abbie boudreau has the story. >> that's the beauty of blackmail. >> reporter: actress and mother of two, kristen bell not holding back about her pro-vaccine beliefs. >> i just don't want to leave moaning on the table because you can't get past it. >> reporter: the "house of lies" actor telling "the hollywood reporter" she won't allow her unvaccinated friends near her babies. bell who gave birth to daughter delta in december telling the magazine over the weekend that after the birth of her first daughter "we simply said to friends you have to get a whooping cough vaccination if you are going to hold our baby." >> the whooping cough epidemic was on the rise and wasn't interested in taking any chances. >> reporter: the star adding she and her husband comedian shepard plan to do the same thing with their newborn baby telling the magazine it's a very simple logic. i believe in trusting doctors, not know-it-alls. the 34-year-old straight talker taking her frustration to twitter recently retweeting this pro-vaccine comment which says something for anti-vac parents 2 think about. if there were a peanut allergy vaccine created would you give it to your kids? the outspoken funny parents clearly seeing this as no laughing matter. for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. >> thanks to abbie for that. dr. richard besser is back, and you approve. >> i do. we vaccinate for a couple of reasons. one is to protect ourselves or our children but also to protect those around us who can't be protected and children when they're first born, they're too young to get a lot of the vaccines, and they're protected by those who are taking care of them being vaccinated. >> we're getting a lot of questions on twitter as you know and all coming out of the measles outbreak. jennifer green wants to know, my 3-year-old was vaccinated against mmr but how protected is she. >> after that first dose 90% of kids protected against measles. not until the second dose do you get up to 99%. if you're in an area where measles is going on, you don't have to wait until you're 4 as long as it's 28 days after the dose of the first you can get your second measles shot. >> space it a little and brenda's question, is there any merit to splitting up the 12-month shots for babies? >> a lot of parents have been thinking about this. they don't like the number of shots a child gets and no one likes to give a lot of shots to a child but when you space them out what you're doing is saying that your child is going to be at risk of this disease longer than they need to be. measles, the reason we wait until 12 months, before that there are protective factors from the mom that interfere with the vakts seen, so that's the earliest where you start to get vaccination. you start to get protection. if you wait beyond that you're putting them at high risk. >> you're turning one bad day into four bad days. >> exactly. get them over with. give them medicine for the pain and fever and then maybe the next visit they won't get any shots. >> okay, and you're going to take questions throughout the morning on twitter. >> i will. >> to lara. next on our "gma heat index" we're going behind the beauty bar, putting those makeup testers at the cosmetics counter to the test. so, when you try out that sample lotion or the lipstick, you may actually be getting more than you bargained more and abc's becky worley is here with all the details. i'm almost afraid to ask. what did you find? >> good morning, lara. makeup is notoriously hard to buy, should i get this foundation, or is this one the correct shade for my skin? well, you should go to the makeup store and try them on to find out, right? maybe not. makeup, 50 shades of everything. should i buy cranberry red or petal pink? well, that distinction you can see, but with makeup testers, it's what you can't see that could actually make you sick. we went undercover to six locations from high-end department stores to discount retailers and swab testers, lipstick, mascara, foundation, and face creams to see if there are any worrisome germs and bacteria you may be putting on your skin. this says, try me. people have definitely tried it. i asked this salesperson how i could test a lip gloss color. >> you could try it. >> okay. >> reporter: she used a separate applicator but from a tester off the floor that she admits others could double dip in. >> so we never know if someone does try it so -- >> reporter: the salespeople generally practice good hygiene. >> we don't double dip. >> reporter: but another sent us home with samples of face cream that she dug out of the half empty tester that was out on the floor. >> thank you. we thank you. >> reporter: yuck. we sent all our swabs to the microbiology lab at new york-presbyterian columbia. >> makeup are all perfect opportunities for bacteria to grow. >> reporter: eew. of the 25 samples, 9 tested positive for bacteria. it looks gross. it's mostly bacteria that we would find in everyday life that could be harmful to some people. but three other results got doctor wittier's attention. would any of these make us sick? >> we found three samples that were only growing yeast so that was worrisome. if you're putting a product on your face that has yeast, that could definitely cause some kind of skin infection. >> reporter: she says infections like rashes and the dreaded pink eye. these three concerning results come from lotion samples. imagine you rub it on in the store on your hands, and then a few minutes later you rub your eyes. yikes. dr. wittier's advice, leave the testers alone. >> i would never use a free sample in any kind of makeup store, whether it's high-end, whether it's low-end, you just don't know who's had their finger in there. >> that just sounds gross. you just don't know, but then how do you find out what color is right? how do you test? >> well i just want to let you know i brought some here for you to test right here. no? no you don't want it? good girl. you listened. here's what you got to do. first of all, you know, there are a lot -- when you go to the beauty place, ask a sales associate. that's why they're there, they're trained in hygienic practices, and they have their own makeup stashes behind the counter. then you want to use single-use pumps if you're going to try a foundation, not something that's like in a flat thing where you put your fingers in it. >> yep. >> you want to definitely try and stay away from the eyes and the mouth. that's probably the most important thing if you have to try something on. >> try it on your hands. >> try it on your hands but then don't use that lotion because then you rub it on your face. >> all right. a lot to think about. great tips. becky, we thank you and we're going to michael now. >> all right. thank you, lara. this week is all about hollywood with the oscars coming up. and if you want to feel like a star, these "deals & steals" are for you. tory johnson has found the celebrity favorites that will help you shine. so, tory, how are you, first of all?
