take place, nine candidates up on that stage, donald trump center stage once again. the gop front-runner growing even stronger in the polls topping our new abc news/"washington post" poll with 38% but that trump rally last night got ugly and abc's cecilia vega starts is off in las vegas. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. because of those polls ted cruz for the very first time will be standing right next to donald trump on that stage here in just a few hour, but as you mentioned about that rally last night very disturbing allegations about things that were said as protesters were being taken out of that room. take a listen. overnight a donald trump rally in las vegas turning ugly. protesters repeatedly interrupting his speech as a man is being removed. it's unclear who but someone yells "light him on fire." >> light the [ bleep ] on fire. >> bye-bye. >> reporter: overnight donald trump lobbing a preemptive

strike across the bow at the man coming dangerously close to his lead. >> trump, 41%, cruz, 14%. and everyone else much lower, i mean, somewhere. >> reporter: texas senator ted cruz posing a very real threat to the reality tv star's front-runner status and before a huge crowd in las vegas, trump ready for debate night with unshakable confidence. >> i'll be honest, i think tomorrow night, i think it's going to be big. [ cheers and applause ] oh. ooh. and they're all coming after me. so far everyone that's attacked me has gone right down the tube so that's good. >> reporter: for now cruz still playing nice. >> i don't think the american people are interested in a bunch of candidates bickering like schoolchildren. >> reporter: but the stage now set for a showdown on the strip just hours away. florida senator marco rubio

spending his debate eve rallying supporters in las vegas too going after president obama rather than the eight rivals who will share the stage with him. >> so last sunday the president spoke to the nation in an effort to calm us and make us feel more comfortable. i swear to you i wish he hasn't spoken at all. >> reporter: 69-year-old trump says he's ready and healthy enough for the fight. the billionaire offering a clean bill of health as proof. well, sort of. after vowing to release his full medical report, trump instead offered up just this short note from his doctor saying trump's physical strength and stamina are extraordinary. and in true trump fashion, the doctor declaring that if elected, mr. trump, i can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. the healthiest individual and that letter declaring trump astonishingly excellent but one glitch, trump said that the doctor who wrote that letter was named jacob boren steen.

jacob boren steen passed away years ago. his son wrote that letter and trump fixing that later post but a bill political oops out here. >> i would say. let's dig into it now with jon karl and tom llamas. this lead for donald trump in our poll remarkably durable. >> this is no flash in the pan. just take a look at abc's polls going back to may. he was only at 4% before he got in. since july he has had a lead of at least 10% in every single abc/"washington post" poll now, of course, his lead more than 0 points. >> republican voters trust him on all the big issues, national security the top of the list. >> look at the attributes. on the question of who can handle terrorism the best, look at this, by far and away, trump wins that. and here's the one that amazes me, who has the best chance to win in 2016? and in our poll overwhelmingly people say donald trump. >> even though the poll also shows that hillary clinton would beat him more than any other

candidate, yeah. >> you're out on the trail with trump all the time been taking jabs at ted cruz. expect that tonight? >> it's the fight that everyone wants to see and i'm sure the fight that cnn, the host of the debate wants to see. turns has been a counterpuncher and yesterday said cruz is a good guy and may be softening the blows. cruz said he doesn't want personal attacks and doesn't want to go down the gutter. the fight he wants to have is rubio and attack him on obamacare and immigration. >> rubio wants that fight with cruz, as well, and, jon, i'm wondering if chris christie will be the guy to take on trump tonight. >> yeah, i mean he's there and fought his way back into the debate and has been playing that role, of course, he can bombast as anyone on that stage with the possible exception of trump. >> rubio ready to go. >> his team said he's had four good debates and it's shown. family from vegas in the audience and the really prepared

for several attacks from christie, rand paul and senator cruz. >> we'll all be watching. to robin. the fight against isis. defense secretary ash carter arriving in turkey this morning to meet with battlefield commanders and allies as the hunt for isis sifrm thiezers in the u.s. intensifies and the fbi arresting that maryland man accused of supporting the terror group and abc's pierre thomas joins us with the details. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the allegations are chilling and if true involve an escalation in isis tactics with the group trying to finance a terror plot against the homeland right here watt home and the fbi claims isis operatives in egypt and syria sent mohamed elshinawy nearly $9,000 to conduct an attack on u.s. soil. what's more elshinawy used isis inspired techniques and set up his computer so it would not store any information about his activities, robin. >> that's the situation there.

what's the latest on that search of the pond in san bernardino? >> reporter: they have yet to reveal anything significant in connection with the case and authorities are trying to find the hard drive from the couple's computer which they hope will provide more answers, robin. >> that is the hope. all right, pierre, thank you. the latest on bowe bergdahl, the sergeant who abandoned his post in afghanistan, held captive by the taliban for five years now facing a court-martial or desertion that could give him a life sentence behind bars. >> reporter: bowe bergdahl is facing a court-martial and potential life sentence this morning. the 29-year-old was held hostage by the taliban for five years before being released in a high stakes prisoner swap last year. but now the american sergeant could be heading back behind bars for life, charged with desertion and misbehavior for endangering his fellow troops. a preliminary hearing had recommended a lesser

court-martial that would limit prison time to just one year. in a terse statement bergdahl's lawyers said he hoped the case would not go in this direction. the decisision comes as we're hearing directly from bergdahl for the first time. >> good grief, i'm in over my head. >> reporter: explaining why he abandoned his remote base in afghanistan in interviews broadcast by the hit podcast serial. >> all's i was seeing was basically leadership failure to the point that the lives of the guys standing next to me were literally in danger. >> reporter: bergdahl says he walked away to draw attention to these problems but he walked right into the arms of the taliban. critics say bergdahl should never have been traded for five taliban detainees held in guantanamo but the white house stands by the decision. >> the commander in a chief feels a responsibility that we won't leave them behind. >> reporter: no date set for his

next court hearing currently at a base in san antonio, texas, assigned for a desk job for the past year. >> thanks. to amy, you have breaking news out of paris. >> french authorities have arrested two people in connection with the terror attack earlier this year. a man and a woman are both charged with providing guns to the man who attacked a kosher deli killing four people after the "charlie hebdo" attack in january. the suspects have been taken into custody in northern france. and some new crew members headed to the international space station. tim cope practice blasted off on a russian rocket along with the first british astronaut visiting the space station. a dramatic scene here. take a look as the district attorney on the right unbuttons his jacket as a convicted felon runs straight towards him trying to escape. the d.a. tackles him refuses to let go even as he's dragged down the hallway. that man now faces some new charges. you may remember this, two high school football players attacking a referee.

an assistant coach now pleaded guilty to ordering that assault. he has been fined and now faces probation. well, drones are one of the most popular gifts this holiday season and now you'll be required to register most of them. the fachlt faa says it will begin monday and fee will be waived for the first month. finally a leap of faith with a big twist. look at that 4-story city jump in michigan. pro skier sammy carlson soared into the record books after flying off the ramp backwards. >> ooh. >> launching 500 feet into the air and did it for a film called "the sammy c. project" and look at that. he nailed it. vertical drop, 364 feet and hadn't used that ramp since 1994. >> ooh. >> so he's trying to encourage people to be bold. live your dream in can you imagine the speed at the bottom of that. >> i can't imagine doing it face forward. >> i've gone backwards but not on purpose.

it's like, whoa. >> we all have. >> all right, amy. now to bill cosby fighting back against those sexual assault allegations made by dozens of women. many of them pictured on this cover of "new york" magazine. he is now countersuing seven of the women who sued him for de defamati defamation. linsey davis has the details. >> reporter: this is arguably the most aggressive move we've seen bill cosby take in this entire scandal. his lawsuit contends the women engaged in a campaign to assassinate his reputation and calls their accusations nothing more than an opportunistic attempt to extract financial gain from him. this morning, bill cosby is fighting back, against numerous allegations 6 sexual assault now claiming he's the victim, filing a lawsuit against several of his accusers. >> we are now taking steps in order to right a wrong restoring mr. cosby's good name, philanthropy endeavors and career are all objectives of doing this and those are all

things that these seven women systemically and intentionally set to destroy. and this is our response to that. >> reporter: the lawsuit filed monday in federal court in maz is countersuing seven of the more than 50 women who came forward accusing him of sexual assault, drugging or rape. barbara boman is one of them. he accused each of them about lying about the allegation. >> when i went into the lawyer's office, he laughed at me and treated me like i was delusional. who is going to believe that? bill cosby, dr. huxtable. >> reporter: despite those claims cosby's attorney accuses these particular victims of malicious opportunistic, false and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against him. for their own financial gain. the attorney representing all seven women says no one should be surprised by this countersuit. >> you try to bring the power that you have against these women in an effort to shift the

focus away from you and your conduct. >> reporter: when we sat down with the embattled comedian in may, he wouldn't address the allegations directly. >> i've never seen anything like this. >> reporter: it is important to note no charges have ever been filed against cost. he is now seeking compensatory and pune tri damages to the maximum extent of the law and guys, fair to say there may be more suits filed on his behalf in the future. >> we'll see. th will, linsey, thank you. let's talk about "star wars" again but so excited. it is finally here, the "star wars" world premiere, hollywood heavyweights out in force last night. for "the force awakens." among them abc's nick watt there for all the excitement. good morning to you, nick. >> reporter: good morning, lara. well, the movie played just a few hours ago right here in the famous tcl chinese theater in the heart of hollywood. part of the reason for all this excitement and hype is the

unprecedented secrecy that surrounded this movie. the trailers were purposefully cryptic. information like a new hero rey's last name very intentionally withheld. >> the reason we keep it a secret so people could enjoy the thing. to watch it and not know what happens is amazing. >> reporter: you die in this film? >> possibly. it's hard for me to talk. keeping my mouth shut is easy. >> really enjoyed the secrecy. >> reporter: why? >> it's been fun. it's like a power trip. >> reporter: luke, our returning hero absent from the posters, why? >> i want to see mark hamill. we've been devoid of mark hamill. >> i'm afraid to talk about 7 because i'll leak things. i'm so paranoid. there was no secrecy like this the first go-around. >> reporter: there wasn't social media for the first but "star wars" fans don't want to know. this poster hung on set. >> one of the things that is

most gratifying when people say thank you for not ruining the story for them. >> camera, action. >> reporter: rumors of a no-fly zone over the studio, fake scripts for auditions and -- did mark hamill really have to wear a cape going between his trailer and the soundstage? >> mark just likes to wear capes. >> i've seen this movie ten times so what i have wanted more than anything is let it all out. >> even the press we talked to seem to be totally on board. >> reporter: even carrie fisher kept quiet. >> i have no filter, boundaries, nothing so i could get in trouble and didn't because people didn't answer specific questions. >> reporter: because it's easy to get sidetracked with her. ♪ da, da, da, ♪ >> now, a message from mark hamill himself. if you see this movie keep the secrets to yourself in respect of the people who come after you. guy, that's luke skywalker to

you with your fancy screening in new york later, talking to you. >> yes. >> under orders. >> will carrie fisher be there? can she be on every red carpet? >> i know. are you jealous of nick. >> i had my time. i can share her with the world. >> she'll make time for everything. >> amazing like that. some of the stars that were at the premiere tweeted. shonda rhimes, "grey's anatomy" tweeted holily blank, that "star wars: the force awakens" is so good in the best old-school way and our friend rob lowe said he, quote, cried like a baby and whooped like a teen. >> wow. >> so really great tweets out there and the rest of us can find out all about those secrets and don't share them, please, on thursday when the movie opens in 4100 theaters. >> it is a big one. >> yep. >> to ginger right now. we've been enjoying the warmth. >> enjoying it but some getting stuck in it. this is upper red lake, minnesota, at least 50

surveillance image of rohinie bisesar monday taken moments after she plugged a knife at a woman at a toronto subway station seemingly at random. >> by all accounts it is an unprovoked attack. the victim does not recognize the suspect as someone that she does know. >> reporter: it happened friday at a drug tore inside the station. investigators say around 2:55 p.m. bisesar walked in with a knife and stabbed an unidentified woman in her 20s, the victim now in serious but stable condition and bisesar still on the run. >> apparently she is well educated and the financial district is somewhere that she frequents. we're asking for the public's assistance and trying to find her. >> reporter: police are calling bisesar violent and dangerous but say they are baffled by a possible motive. her linkedin page revealing her leadership roles in organizations for women in business. one professor at her university praising her on the site writing

"she was superb both for the outstanding quality of her work and for her warmth and interpersonal skills." >> was there some event in the hours or even days before this attack that would have enraged her to go out and harm a particular person or random person? >> reporter: now, friends describe the attack as completely out of character and bisesar has no criminal record. police are advising residents not to approach her if they see her but to call the authorities right away because, again, they are saying she's bisesar. we cover a lot of unusual stories. this is very unusual. a lot of questions as to why this happened. >> hopefully they will find her so she doesn't cause othharm to others or herself. a dramatic rescue on mt. hood. four members of a family including two young children trapped in deep snow speaking out about how they survived until help arrived.

known location on facebook. >> this is every mom's worst nightmare. >> reporter: after a few terrifying moments of waiting through the heavy white powder looking for any sign of life he ran into a group of snowmobilers who ferried his group to safety. >> if it wasn't for them, i don't know, we probably would still be up there. >> reporter: officials say they did all the right things to ensure a happy ending, making the right call by having a planned route and telling someone where they were traveling. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> always key to let someone know where you're traveling like he said. >> did all the smart things. the texas plumber whose old truck is in the hands of isis. how did it arrive up there and the impact it's had on his life. a big health alert for pregnant women. could there be a link between antidepressants and autism in newborns? dr. besser is live coming up.

my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding.

both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. only abreva can heal it in as few as two and a half days when used at the first sign. it penetrates deep and starts to work immediately

story of the texas plumber whose company truck with its logo and phone number still on it somehow ended up in the hands of isis fighters and in a propaganda video he is now suing the dealer that resold the car and abc's david wright is here with that story. good morning, david. >> good morning, robin. they say there's no such thing as bad publicity, let me tell you about this plumber. free advertising worldwide of the worst sort. his pickup truck ending up on the front lines of syria featured prominently in isis propaganda so he is now filing suit. the black ford f-250 still has his logo but the dudes who now drive it clearly aren't interested in fixing any leaks. >> my secretary called me and said you can't believe this. >> reporter: that's his old truck, now 7,000 miles away from texas city, texas, with quite the gun rack in back. there it is in action. isis militants firing the anti-aircraft gun, the logo and

the company phone number as clear as the intentions of those isis militants in the ski masks. >> i really at first thought it was just somebody playing with us. >> reporter: the plumber mark oberholtzer says when he traded in the truck to a dealer, they told him they'd rather remove the decal so as not to risk scratching the paint. but when these pictures started popping up on extremist twitter feeds a year ago today it became clear the dealer never removed it. tracking the truck on the used car site carfax, it went from an auction in houston, texas, to mersin, turkey, from there ending up somewhere near aleppo, syria, in the hands of jihadists. oberholtzer says death threats started pouring in over the switchboard. >> she was getting constant calls, threats, nothing about plumbing. >> reporter: now those photos pop up on his yelp page and made it on to the final episode of "the colbert report."

>> a texas plumber's work truck showed up in syria although pickup truck, desert, machine gun, that could still be texas. >> reporter: the plumber is now suing the dealer for a million bucks claiming mark-1's revenues were lost and the company's reputation was irretrievably damaged. the plumber says this was free advertising he could do without. >> i don't need this press and i don't need the threats to my family. >> reporter: well, the plumber was even questioned by the fbi and homeland security about this. of course, we reached out to the dealership auto nation which blamed the auctioneer and sent it was sent out for auction as soon as it came in and the dealer said it's unfortunate the customer had to go through this. you don't say, robin. >> bring in dan abrams to see what he has to say about this. you feel for the guy. legally where does he stand? >> you can understand why he's furious, upset. there's damages but not necessarily you can hold the

dealership responsible. it's a tough legal case. they're throwing all sorts of possible legal theories here hoping that one will stick but the key question is, was it negligence? should they have known better than to allow this to happen and one of the questions when you're talking about negligence is something called foreseeability meaning could you have foreseen that these sorts of damages would occur? you could say it's foreseeable there would be damages and he's got a suit. you certainly couldn't have foreseen it would end up in the hands of isis is syria. >> the plumber is saying he was trying to take down the name and number and that the dealer stopped him from doing it. >> he said that the dealer said don't worry about it. we've got a better way to do it. that's the heart of his case, they should have taken it off. they should have known that no one should be driving around in this truck with this decal and that is certainly the strongest part of his argument. >> looking for damages, he's looking for more. >> to clear his name and every time someone says, hey, i saw

your truck or some jerk calls him on the phone and says, you know, what do you do? look, i sued them. i sued them. i think this is his primary effort to clear his name and there will probably be a settlement. >> i can't imagine being that guy and seeing your truck in that video. >> with your phone number. >> i hope this story helps him too. >> thank you. coming up ed sheeran quitting social media, no instagram, no tweets. a lot of reaction from fans this morning. caught on camera an angry customer, oh, boy, he was angry, rammed his pickup into a hotel lobby. two workers running for their lives. what drove him to do it. come on back.
