robin, george. >> all right, alex, thank you very much. >> intense situation there. the other big story, the republican debate in wisconsin, the candidates facing off on the economy and immigration and abc's tom llamas was there for it all. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the debate stage was smaller but there were still some big fights. no personal attacks this time. the disput were over positions anand it was big night for senators cruz and rubio and jeb bush showing more energy. overnight, the republicans battling to be president making their case on the economy d national defense. a debate more policy -- >> marco, marco, how is it conservative -- >> reporter: but some pumps. >> how is it conservative to add a trillion dollars in military expenditures? >> we can't even have an economy if we're not safe. there are radical jihadists beheading people and crucifying christians. a radical cleric trying to get a

the chinese yes, i believe the world is a safer -- i don't believe, i know that the world is safer and better place when america is the strongest military power in the world. >> reporter: all of the candidates rlying against the irs. >> there are more words in the irs code than there are in the bible. and not a one of them is as good. >> reporter: and dr. ben carson, a leading candidate, slamming the news coverage of alleged discrepancies in his life story. >> i have no problem with being vetted. what i do have problem with is being lied about. >> reporter: o on the ecomy, the retired neurosurgeonppearing to change his position on raising the minimum wage. >> i would not raise it. reporter: but back in may carson favored increasing it. i asked him about the change. so just to be clear are you in favor of rsing the minimum wage or you're not in favor of it. >> i personally am not in favor of it but i'm in f favor of ving the discussion because i believe that the way you do something in a pluralistisociety is you put it out in the open so that everybody understands what's going on. >> reporter: donald trump at one

point playing referee criticizing carly fiorina for cutting people off. >> why does she keep interrupting everybody? >> yeah. >> reporter: and fighting for jeb bush to get a chance to o speak. >> governor -- >> you should let jeb speak. >> thank you, donald, for allowing me to speak at the debate. that's really nice of you. i really appreciate that. what a generous man you are. >> reporter: but later bush clashed with trump over immigration refusing to support mass deportation of undocument immigrants. >> it's just not possible. and it's not embracing american values. and it would tear communities apart. and it would send a signal that we're not the kind of country that i know america is. >> reporter: what we didn't see last night, not a single candidate not even donald trump who was talking tough on the campaign trail going after dr. ben carson and so many people were talking about the bush/rubio rematch, that never happened. the next debate five weeks away. gege. >> thanks, tom and one of the

candidates, senator marco rubio ins us now. some more good reviews for you, senator, last night. you stayed out of that debate between jeb bush, john kasich and donald trump over immigration and trump's mass deportatation plan kasich called it silly, not adult. is he right? >> well, first of all, my position on it is well stated d that is we have to deal with immigration in three steps. we can't do it all at once. tried to in 2013 and the american people don't trust the federal government so we have to begin by proving to people that illegal immigration numbers are down significantly. the second step would be to modernize our legal immigration system so it's merit based and after those two things we have to responsibly but realistically deal with people here illegally and as i said if you're a criminal, haven't been here very long you can't stay. for everyone else you'd have to pass a background check, learn english, pay a fine, start paying taxes and you'll get a work permifor ten years. that's my position. it's been well stated for a long time and i think it's the only

this p point. >> a lot think ted cruz could be your toughest opposition. he seemed to send a shot across your bow taking on the issue of sugar subsidies, you have gotten a lot of money from them in t the past. that's drawn criticism. rubio and big sugar. yo sugar high is a new low a betrayal of conservative principles. how do you respond? >> i'm prepared to get rid of the sugar program. every country in the world that has sugar has a program, a subsidy and d when they get rid of their, i'm prepared to get rid of theirs. >> you know that's not going to happen, though. >> but i'm not going to wipe out an american industry that happens to have a lot of workers in florida by unilaterally disarming them. i want us to be able t to compete with other countries. it has to be fair. they have huge advantages. they don't have an epa or labor unions in those countries so if we could just even the field, if they -- if other countries that we're competing against get rid

of their programs i'll be the first one working to get rid of ours but i'm not going to destroy an american industry that employs people in my state. by disarming it. >> there was a moment off mike during one of the commercial breaks, you headed over to governor bush, jeb bush and just seemed to ice you. what happened there? >> oh, someone showed me that video last night. it made it look that way. we were fine. look, we're running for president of the united states and so -- but i don't take any of it personal. there was nothing behind it. i know it makes for an interesting vine video but it wasn't anything of meaning. >> senator rubio, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. thanks very much. alright, george, thank you. abc's chief business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis, you can see is here fact checking a couple of big moments from the two front-runners and, rebecca, at one point rand paul called out donald trump about a big trade deal. who is right? >> this was a really important question last night. robin, it was about why donald

trump is opposed to the tpp trade deal and listen to what he says about china and how the other candidates respond. >> almost everybody takes advantage of the united states, china in particular because they're so good. it's the number one abuser of this countntry. we are losing jobs like nobody's ever lost jobs before. i want to bring jobs back into this country. >> hey, , gerard, might want to point out china is not part of this deal. >> true. it's true. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> so you have kash and paul, they're correct on this. china is not part of the trade deal. 12 countries are including japan and australia as well as the united states and what's interesting here, military strategists actually think what's vital to this deal is the part that economically speaking china a is not aart of the deal and actually think the fact that china is out is it a big reason for the deal's success. >> we see all the countries that are. >> all of them right here. not china. >> not china. the debate began talking about minimum wage.

they had protesters outside there in milwaukee and the candidates were asked about that and ben carson had something interesting to say about minimum wage. >> every time we raise the minimum wage, the number of jobless people increases. >> so is he right? >> so i talked to a number of economists on this. they're deeply divided on this question. not all of the time is there job loss when there are wage hikes, however, there can be job loss associated with wage hikes and the university of chicago did a study of the 42 top economists the country, they asked what would happen if the wages were increased, the minimum wage to 15. 40% undecided. between the remaining 60%, they were totally split. >> so between the remaining 60%. >> totally split yes and no. >> rebecca, thank you very much. george. >> thank you, guys, let's brake it down with jon karl, matthew dowd, are here. jon, a lot of substance. not too many fireworks. did it change anything? >> not really.y. rubio seemed to be the winner, not a huge win for him. had an assist from rand paul

policy. good for ted cruz. jeb bush had his best debate so far but not enough cho thank the dynamic. overall it doesn't change the dynamic. you still have trump and carson doing nothing to move them from their front-runner status. george, we are almosat halftime when it comes to debates. four debates. four debates where donald trump has been the frontnt-runner. he has not been significantly challenged. he has not stumbled and that means another win ultimately for dona trump. he dsn't move. >> five-week gap until the next debate. >> i actually think this is starting to come into line like the college football playoffs where wee basically coming down to four candidates that are leftn the race, trump, carson, rubio and d cruz and think if we had another debate where rubio and cruz did very well, if these were stocks, after this debate if these folks were stocks i'd put a hold on carson and trump because i think there's still some things missing there and put a buy on cruz and rubio and i'd pull a sell on jeb bush. >> still a sell. >> pretty low right now. >> i would get out as soon as

not going up after the debate. he did better but not good enough to leap over. >> matthew dowd, jon karl, thanks very much. later i'll head to washington for an exclusive interview with president obama and we'll bring you that on friday. right here on "gma."" ck to robin. >> now to that fiery plane crash in ohio. a small jet going do in a residential area killing at least two people on board.d. abs david kerley is on the scene for us in akron this morning. good morning, david. >>eporter: good morning, robin. this morning crash investigators and a mass casualty team will be here where that small jet crashed. we have confirmed that two have been killed but authorities are unable to confirm what the jet's owner and family members are saying that there were nine people on board this small jet. >> there's some sort of explosion on mogadore road. we have the wholroad covered. >> reporr: this is what they foun two homes ablaze and the remnants of a business jet. this morning, more questions than answers as to why a plane plunged into a residential neighborhood.

heavy fire. we have a lot of wires down. >> reporter: the small jet a wker 25 can carrrry up to n passengers, it was en route from dayton to akron but just more than a mile from its destination the jet goes down, authorities have not confirmed how many were flying o on the airaft. they do say they don't expect to find any survivors. at least two confirmed dead. the pilot and co-pilot. witnesses say the jet appeared to be having trouble before crashing. >> have you found the plane? >> yeah, i believe the plane -- it's in the brush. >> reporter: the shock and horror of the crash captured in this woman's face who says she was video chatting at the time. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: you don't think a plane would drop in a residential area like this. this is crazy. >> reporter: beth montgomery is one of the residents. she's normally home every day but on tuesdays she has lunch with her son. >>f i don't meet my son on tuesdays, i would have been there. >> reporter: despite the devastation, she's counting her

blessings. >> i have my life and that is most important. >> reporter: this morning, a new jersey woman who is driven to ohio says her sister was one of the passengers on board. >> between the siblings we started doing some detective work and made some calls and checked some flight plans and kind of put two and two together that it was her. >> reporter: abc news has learned there was no mayday call. there was no distress call. and there are only questions this morning, what actually happened to this jet less than two s from the airport. why did it go down? robin and george. >> a lot of questions still coming. thanks. we turn to the first blizzard of the season hitting the mountains hahard. snow falling in denver right now and the storm is on the move. ginger is tracking it all. >> ts veterans day storm has now moved from the mountains into the foothil so denver, 3 to 6 inches. it is going to be a wreck of a commute no matter where you are just east of denver especially because we're going to see blizzard conditions in eastern

seconds. >> amy has the morning's other top stories starting with that crackdown on fantasy sports sites. >> that's right. new trouble, big trouble for daily fantasy sports sites, fanduel and draftkings. new york's attorney general say they amount to illegal gambling and ordered them to stop accepting bets from new york residents or face criminal charges. the companies insist they are running games of skill, not chance. and therefore shouldn't be subjecect to gaming regulations. new york's decision could pave the way, though, for more states to take action. well, more than 100 bikers have now been indicted in connection with this shoot-out between motorcycle gangs and police at a texas restaurant back in may. nine people were killed. the bikers are charged witith organized criminal activity. and in virginia, three men are accused ofof plottinto attack synagogues and black churcheses as partf a race war. they reportedly tried to buy

we've got motorola standing by right now to watch it happen, so here we go. on the count of three, guys, we are we go. we're going to drop it from five feet. three, two, one. ah. ouch. >> and what do we got? it works. it's still good. >> adrienne from motorola right here smiling feeling good. feeling optimistic. i never had a doubtbt. all right. >> you're not coming down yet, are you? >>o, i'm not. let's go higher, guys. let's go up. we're going to double up here. motorola does not guarantee this. it only says the screen is shatterproof for drops up to five feet. we're going to go up t to ten fe now, so let's get the audience to put on those safety goggles just in case. here we go. we're going to drop -- count with me. three, two, one. oh. >> here we go. what do we got? we have a perfectly good phone, everybody. that's what we got. >> wow! >> it works. how about that? were you a little nervous? >> no, not at all.

>> when you test it, do you take it to greater heights? >> we put it through a lot of extreme testing and there's actually five e layers o screen technology in there that is granteed not to shatter. >> i'm going to ll you right now you need to get a phone like this. i've seen your phone. it's a mess. it really is a mess. >> we actually learned it's not actually gla. >> no, no, it's not. it's actually a flexible display. >> like a plexiglas. >> well, it's -- >> top secret technology but it's really truly flexible so even michael could fumble this and not -- >> not that you would ever fumble. >> i never fumble. great job, gio. thank you. you passed the test and now we're going to take it back inside to amy. >> we actuallyy have another test here in our series "gma body proud" with model and body activist ashley graham. this mning we are challenging the notion of what it means to be healthy by putting two models to a health test. they're the same age, almost exactly the same height but with one very important twist. take a look.

catwalk. but we want to know is a size 2 as healthy as a size 14? to find out we're putting these two gorgeous women through medical and fitness tests. first up ashley graham, age 28. stands tall at 5'9" and wears a size 14. she has no family history of exercises regularly. >> i do all kinds of cdio and weightifting. i do classes. >> reporter: and abeba davis, also age 28. measures 5'10" and wears a size 2. she has diabetes in her fily and exercise, ah, not so much. >> i walk my dog a lot. >> walking counts. >> the two start their exam with our own dr. jennifer ashton. >> we'll do some basic height, weight, eck some basic bloodwork that's kind of like the barometer of overall health, which would be a nonfasting diabetes screen, a nonfasting

kind of see where you e. >> good. perfect. >> questions? >> no, take my blood. >> okay. >> next up, abeba. do you think you're in good shape? >> no. >> interesting. >> unfortunately -- i mean i think physically i've been blessed genetically. >> don't be nervous. >> but that's not all. our models head to crunch r a fitness test. >> i heard you're goining to put me through some like hard core regimens. >> yes wooshgsary going to get an overhead squat assessment, as well as a fit test on the treadmill. >> let's go. >> we'll get you five e minutes max. we're going to go ahead and do an overhead squat assessment. i want you to perform a series of 15 squats. >> okay. >> and abeba. >> this is a fit test. >> okay. >> you're going to have both

feet facing directly towards me and your arms are going to be nice and long overhead. >> so which model is a picture of health? find out live right now. >> that's right and we have ashley with us and dr. jennifer ashton as well, so, dr. ashton, why don't you tell us the results. >> the moment of truth. so first thing we did, we checked blood pressure. head-to-head, both in the normal range. ashley's is actually a little better than abeba and did a nonfasting diabetes test called thhemoglobin a1c. both normal. you did a little better than abeba. cholesterol, ldl. both normal. this is where abeba did a little bit better than asey. we want to thank quest diagnostics for running these labs for us and then we put you on the treadmill and did a fitness test, both passed pretty well. i mean,, you are 28. but i want to be clear. weight is relevant. it's one thing that we look at. we want to assess that today.

you both did great and we also want to assess it down the road in the future, and that's why living a healthy lifestyle is so important. >> what do you make of those results? >> i'm not surprised. i mean, don't judge a book by its cover. it's clear this is a very healthy woman right here. >> i love it. >> yes, you are. >> you started at the very beginning of your day, what do you do each and every morning? >> i like to start with hot water and lemon and do -- it's alkalines my body but i always have a green juice. i swear a green juice a day keeps the doctor away. >> like a serving of vegetables. >> yes, spinach, kale, apple, lemon, ginger. >> cheers. >> andou can get about 2 1/2 cups of vegetables per day and get that in a nice juice in the morning. try to use the pulp so you get the fiber. >> okay. >> i made it a little sweet. sorry. >> is great. you guys, you're already done. >> yeah. >> then in terms of keeping your body fit, because you are fit. you proved that today. what do you do? >> thank you, girl. >> squats, arms, i am always traveling, i never settle down. i don't know where i'm going to be, so --

you guys work out. this is like multitasking. >> arms are really important and i always like to go this way and then, doctor, sorry, i'll come a little forward and i like to go out and i like to do it with a squat and make sure -- >> full body workout. >> yes, make sure that your butt is out like you're going to sit down and knees cannot go over your toes. >> dr. ashton, anyone who follows you on instagram knows you're doing these every day. >> women need to do weights. they need to do resistance training. it's as important as cardio and your form is on point. >> you keep working out. i'll keep drinking and ginger, out to you. >> i love the green drink. asia said some green drinks are good. not all. we have a lot of young faces in the crowd this morning. you are not in school. already but veterans we're so grateful for everybody and check in with them but first we have to check in on the snow still falling in denvever this morning. somewhere between 3 and 6 some of the mountain areas, 8 to 15.

you want to flip that? >> i'll try. >> y can do it. you can do it. go, george. yes. see, george can cook a turkey. >> get this out of the way. >> yeah. get that out of the way. >> it is a great idea. so beautiful. how long? >> icooks for about 35 minutes, 35, 40 minutes. >> so much better than three or four hours that a normal turkey would take, then on to the veggs. >> yes, this is roasted acorn squash. we've seeded, sliced it into, you know, spears like this. a little olive oil, salt and pepper. put that in the oven for about a half hour and to go on top of that we're making a delicious sauce >> first you bake that. >> first you bake it. >> then the e cheese sce. >> then the cheese sauce is butter and flour and then milk and thyme and you can put that gruyere cheese in there. >> do you have the recipe onhe website? i tasted it. it's very good >> it's delicious, right. we get the cheese sauce going and we d drizzle cheese over the cooked acorn squash wedges. >> this could not be easier, clinton. >> right. .

>> then the final touch which was such a surprise is the macadamia nut. >> hazelnuts. >> actually. >> macadamia nuts would be lovely, as well. >> use the nut of your choice. >> you see amy over there. >> yes, this is the big winner except let's pass it on because stuffing, this man knows stuffing. >> mario, it is about everything. what's so special about that -- >> we ve fennel sausage, fennel, chuftnuts and apples cut into cubes. we've taken -- this is ciabatto that we've ded out but the al trick take all of the crufts of the bread starting in september and save them in your freezer so it's virtually free so dump that over the dried bread. then you take some homemade chicken stock or even store bought chicken stock, a little butter, parsley and there you pack it into this dish like that and bake it for 40 minutes. thisor me is w what i wod rather have of all the leftovers, i'd rather have a stuffing sandwich than anything else. >> easy on the wallet. >> i awith you. >> we have to have dessert, mike.

>> i combined my two favorite desserts ininto one, so we have a chocolate pumpkin pie. and the tip here is because it is a loose custardy base and you can make the pie crist the day before, you could make the custard the day before, it's just pumpkin, melted chocolate, a ttle bit of cream, eggs, brown sugar and then the spices, clove, ginger, nutmeg and then you just take this, you bake the crust at 425 the day ahead of time. you take that beautiful custard and you pour it in. >>t's so good. >> and then the morning of thanksgiving, you bake it at 350 beautiful chocolate pumpkin pies. >> how do you transport it to grandma's house? >> you know, i just get a good >> all right. i thought there was a towel or something involved. >> these are all on our website. >> must see tv. coming up we're celebrating our old favorite musical performances. but we love to eat, too. wow.
