the stolen secrets in a wood shed behind martin's home in maryland. his wife declined to answer questions. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: buzz hi lawyer says martin is man who loves his country and did not betray it. that's something the fbi is still investigating. so far officials say they have seen no indication martin had any connection to a foreign government. and unlike snowden, he's not been charged with espionage. >> and speak of snowden, he's still in russia and still would face charges. >> the president has given no indication that he'll get a free pass and that he should come back and stand trial. we move to the race for the white house. 33 days until the final vote. just three days before the next big debate. donald trump looking for a big comeback, hitting bill clinton hard. hillary clinton hits the books. >> reporter: george, good morning the you. sunday's debate is a town hall.

hillary feels very comfortable in this format. she did have hiccups in the last presidential candidates' forum. the trump campaign is turning to chris christie for help. donald trump testing out a new attack. >> boy, did bill clinton blow it. >> reporter: seizing on the comments by the former president seizing on obama care. >> you have this crazy system. >> canou home in westchester and he said, hi, hillary. how was your day? oh, did he suffer. >> reporter: bill clinton later clarifying saying he supports obama care but it has some problems. >> remember hillary clinton called obama care one of the greatest accomplishments of the president. of the democratic part. and of of country.

performance. >> mike pence did an incredible job. and i'm getting a lot of credit because that's really my first so-called "choice." that was my first hire, as we would say in las vegas. >> reporter: hillary clinton deep in debate prep with her team. using the vp debate as a launching pad for sunday night. saying pence was not looking out for trump. >> when your own rung mate won't defend -- the top of the about who's qualified and temperamentally fit to be president. >> reporter: trump is gearing up for sunday's town hall debate format today in new hampshire. getting practice. taking questions from voter in a similar setup. governor christie will be on hand for that. and from our what the files, check out this tweet. to ivanka trump, in a city of 8

i thank you for listening mother to mother on this new years week. my best to you. apparently, they met at a restaurant not far from our studios. to have been a fly on the wall. >> i guess she was referring to the jewish new year. we're here with kellyanne conway. democrats putting out videos and ads saying that, mike pence missed an opportunity to defend donaldmp >> we totally disagree. i understand why they're desperate to clean up tim kaine's performance. he interrupted 72 times. when he wasn't interrupting the female moderator, he was ignoring her pleading with him to stop and answer the question. we're happy with governor pence's performance. it was spectacular. the fact that he's proudly on the ticket tells you all you need to know about donald trump.

should not take sides in the fight in syria. mike pence says we should be preparing to take action. do they agree? >> the rush qua reset that hillary clinton has proudly tried to own has been ady disaster. these fake and feined red lines are a problem. >> take military action against assad? >> we don't know. when they're president and vice president, we'll see. the region for help. this is a humanitarian crisis. it's heart-breaking to everyone. to read those stories every day. families being torn apart. people being murdered. >> i know you're pleased with mike pence's performance. the polls have fallen since mr. trump's debate. something in "the wall street journal" this morning. what did mr. trump learn from

questions as they were asked. mrs. clintden was trying to get out the five or six zingers she had rehearsed for a number of days. this time, i think donald trump in a town hall format, it's one he's very comfortable. you have seen him, because abc has covered some of his town hall formats. he's the one out there at the rallies and smaller settings. every single day. he just had a west coast tour where basically, there were more people outside trying to get i thousands and thousands of people there to hear his message. it's a comfortable format. think donald trump got no credit for being gracious to secretary clinton, asking her should i call you secretary clinton when she was calling him donald. at the end pulling his punches about bill clint and the women and how she treated the women in the 1990s. he got no credit for being gracious and restrained. i thought he made a lot of great

on trade and immigration. and that hillary clinton and barack obama created the vacuum in which isis was formed. >> he does need a win sunday night doesn't he? >> he needs a win on november 8th. hillary clinton is not at 50% and staying anywhere in the states. why is that for someone spending tens of millions of dollars in negative ads? >> kellyanne conway, thank you very much. the next presidential. debate sunday night. our martha radda with anderson cooper. one quick look at the storm surge. look that, three to five in the orange area. six to fine foot in red. that includes jacksonville to

sung. one of the company's galaxy note 7 phones starting to smoke, force plaeng to evacuate. in this case, the phone was a replacement meant to address the safety issues. david kerley has more. >> reporter: good morning, amy. we have been so worried about one of these planes overheating on a jet. ironically, it was a recall replacement burning before takeoff. if true, it could mean bigger problems for samsung. >> we got smoke in the cabin the. can you send emergency equipment? >> reporter: the reason, this samsung phone. >> i noticed smoke pouring out of my pocket. i pulled the phone out of my pocket, threw it on the ground. it continued to smoke and smolder into the carpet. >> reporter: he says his phone was a replacement for the galaxy note 7. >> oh, my god. look at the car.

and exploding in cars, at home, at work. >> there was smoke everywhere. >> reporter: the incident in the jet in louisville may be the first time for a replacement note 7 to burn. >> it popped. it sizzled you could say even. i was scared i was going to have bits of glass in my hand and electronics and what not. >> reporter: he says he powered down the phone as asked right before takeoff. within hours, the consumer product safety commission had >> anytime you have a smoking object on an airplane, it's a big development. we're concerned. that's why we're move something aggressively to investigate. >> reporter: samsung said it sent investigators, too, and is cooperating with the government. now we're waiting to find out whether this was the actual phone. there's still a lot of questions.

samsung replacement phones heating up. this would be the first case of it burning. >> and steve ganyard joins us. i have flown recently. you hear the flight attendants saying don't charge your phone. if it's a note 7, turn it off. what could have happened if that same incident happened when the flight was in the air? >> amy, think about it. if this had been ten minutes later while the plane was the battery fires burn up to 1500 degrees. aluminum melts at 1200. think about the seat burning. we dodged a bullet this time. i don't think we can continue the count on being so lucky. >> this was supposedly one of the replacement phones that samsung has given this customer. is the company doing enough? >> apparently not. and so, i think samsung will have to come out and be more forth coming with the kinds of changes instituted.

everybody has a smartphone today. they bring smartphones, tablets, laptops on to the airplane. you may have 150 people on the airplane. you probably have 200 lithium ion batteries. it's a battery problem. it will only get worse before better. >> what is the government's role? what are the airlines' roles in all of this? >> we can't expect the tsa or airlines to i think in the short term, the faa and samsung have to work together the fix the defect. amazingsly, there's no minimum mandatory safety standard for the batteries. i think there's a role for the congress here to step in and say, if you're going to sell something with lithium ion battery in the country you have to meet a minimum safety bar. e we don't have that as of now. >> steve ganyard, thank you.

ross harris. the defense is saying, wait, we want the first police report to come in. et cetera. so far, the judge saying, that's for krcross-examination. not going grant it. >> when the officer testified, he said this guy was really hysterical. now he's saying he didn't buy it? >> correct. that's the key question. one of the most important questions. that's the human response, right? everyone plays sort of if this had just happened to my child? how would i have reacted? the defense is saying, he was hysterical. he was crying. the prosecutors are saying, no, he wasn't. e wasn't acting the way a nor mall parent would act. >> is the case going well for the defense so far? >> they've presented a lot of things we didn't know about before. and posed a lot of questions about whether justin ross harris

case for the defense. the facts are hard for them. remember, even in this jury thinks he didn't do it on purpose. they think he was reckless or negligent in the way he was handling it, he could still be con vicked of murder. >> watch it on law newz.com. >> with a "z." >> with a "z." now to black friday backlash. the mall of america is anountsing it will c bucking the trend of black friday deals starting earlier and earlier every year. rebecca jarvis joins us live. every year, these sales kick off earlier and earlier. right after thanksgiving, the sales start again. so is this a big deal for the mall of america to step in and say, we're not opening on thanksgiving? >> it's a huge deal, michael. the employees, they cheered. and some of them hugged.

mall of america, the biggest mall in the country, would stay closed. you see the pictures there. i mean, every year we get these pictures of thanksgiving rushes, black friday rushes. if anybody wants to be a prt of that, they're in luck. the mall of america will open on black friday. and as somebody who sment spept many of her formative years hanging out at the mall of america, folding sweaters at the mall of america, as a job, i am proud of them. i say bravo on this one. >> >> i think there could be others. all of the retailers the last couple of years that opened up on thanksgiving have traded some of their later holiday sales for the thanksgiving sales. they have to pay employees more. it's a long holiday season. they want their employees to be happy right up until christmas time. so they sell another sweater, a watch, a tv. probably others will follow. this giving them cover. >> when she said they were hugging, we sthoed video, i thought those were the employees.

>> they were hugging on the floor. they're very loving there. >> okay, rebecca, thanks. let's take a deeper look at the big debate sunday night. it will be a different kind. a town hall format. as we said, martha raddatz will be one of the mod rarts. jon karl will be on the scene as well. you sea he talking to kellyanne conway. she says donald trump is great at this format. him. >> i think this could be a good format for donald trump. for a couple of reasons. one, he has done a fair amount of these. i've been with him at town hall meetings in iowa and new hampshire. he feeds off the crowd. the other reason this could be good for trump, it will be hard for him to go personal. all this talk about him going after bill clinton's infidelities. i think that's very hard to do in an intimate setting where the

be -- >> that's good for trump. that would be a terrible decision for him to do, yes. >> what are the keys to success for the candidates in a town hall? >> i got a couple of rules for you. first of all, one thing about this format, you're not tied to the podium. you can wander around the stage. so my first rule is stay in your zone. remember, when george w. bush debated al gore and al gore walked over to him, got into his personal space during one of the questions. take bush basically dismissed him with this look like what are you doing? i think that one look actually helped bush win that debate. >> i think you're right about that. you say stay in your zone. the exception could be approaching a citizen questioner. bill clinton did that in 1992 while the older bush was looking at his watch. that worked for him. >> that gets to my second rule.

audience. empathize. george h.w. bush look at his watch before that question. the key moment was when he got irritated about a question. bill clinton walked over and felt that questioner's pain. he didn't say those words. but that was the feeling. you remember in 2008 when john mccain seemed to be pacing throughout the debate when he wasn't talking. and you know, he was all over the place. one point walking in front of one of the jon stewart had great time with that moment. take a look at this. >> how you folks doing? as anybody seen my dog? has anyone seen my little mr. puddles. just the little guy? fits right in your hand? no? mr. puddles! mr. puddles zblchlt i have snausages. >> wow. >> obama looks so young. >> so the key words, stay in

don't get in front of the other person. >> thank you, jon, rebecca, and dan. coming up. the big comeback off the field. the pitcher hit in the head by the 105-mile-per-hour line drive. he's now speaking out exclusively on "gma." see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the majority saw 90% clearance. do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur... ...tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms... ...such as fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough.
