7:03 am
fast, but donald trump remains on top and he is now aiming his harshest attacks at hillary clinton. overnight at a packed rally in grand rapids, michigan, donald trump went on an odd diatribe against hillary clinton. using a sexually derogatory term to describe how she got beat by barack obama in 2008. >> she was favored to win and she got [ bleep ]. she lost. i mean she lost. >> reporter: and he went after her for what she said in the abc democratic debate. >> what happened to her? no, she's terrible. she's terrible. donald trump is on video and isis is using him on the video to recruit and it turned out to be a lie. >> reporter: that you would sponsor -- >> reporter: that's a reference to this moment from the debate. >> they are going to people showing videos of donald trump insulting islam and muslims in order to recruit more radical
7:04 am
jihadists. >> reporter: clinton's campaign is providing no direct evidence that that has happened. trump has demanded an apology. hillary clinton says hell no she won't apologize. you've demanded an apology. what now? >> look, she lies and has been a liar whether e-mails or -- >> reporter: said hell no. >> she doesn't want to apologize. that's okay. that's up to her but she lied and she should apologize. >> reporter: the argument she's paying beyond the video is that your words are being broadcast throughout the arab world and, you know, why -- i mean, is there any doubt that isis would use what you're saying about muslims. >> but there is no argument beyond the video. she said donald trump is on a video and they're distributing the -- you know, et cetera, et cetera, okay, and there really is no argument beyond the video. they are using lots of things, i imagine to recruit but they didn't use me on a video and i'm not sure they used me at all frankly. >> reporter: he angrily dismissed suggestions he is the republican hillary clinton could
7:05 am
beat most eastly. >> when they say they want to run against me that means they don't want to run against me. >> reporter: i saw you tweet about it. >> i did. >> reporter: you talk to democrats. they say they would love nothing more to run against you. >> because that's a smart thing for them to say. >> i have to apologize. >> reporter: and for the first time on camera trump, the former owner of the miss universe pageant who sold the organization after a controversy about his comments on immigrants weighed in on the screw-up sunday night when miss colombia was briefly crowned the winner by mistake. what was your reaction when you saw that happen and you saw them crown the wrong winner. >> it was just a mistake. he read the card wrong. simple. he just read it wrong. crazy the way life works. it will probably end up being a good thing -- all over the world that's what they want to ask about. >> reporter: trump told me he believes hillary clinton will be a tough opponent for republicans, but, george, he is absolutely insistent that he is the republican best poised to
7:06 am
beat her. >> let's go back to that new poll out. trump holding up at the top. cruz moving up a lot and big moves for some of the other contenders beneath. >> reporter: yeah, moves down for ben carson and for marco rubio. they both lost significant ground over the last month. the other movement is at the back of the pack can chris christie moving up slightly, still at the back but moving ahead within the margin of error of jeb bush. >> yeah, he's moving up in new hampshire, as well. jon karl, thanks very much. we have new information about that horrifying scene on the las vegas strip. and the woman who intentionally drove into crowds of tourists killing a young mother and injuring dozens more. abc's kayna whitworth is live at the scene for us. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: lara, good morning to you. we're learning this morning that the woman behind the wheel shouldn't have been driving at all. her license had been recently suspended. this morning, police saying 24-year-old lakeisha holloway is on suicide watch after allegedly plowing through nearly 40 people
7:07 am
killing a mother of three on the busy las vegas strip, all while her own 3-year-old daughter was in the car. >> it looked like she wasn't even trying to stop the car. she had both of her hands on the wheel and was looking straightforward. >> reporter: the police report stating holloway described a stressful period of time where she was trying to rest and sleep inside her vehicle with her daughter. but kept getting run off by security. overnight, her cousin saying holloway would never do something like this on purpose. >> none of it made any sense, just didn't add up to who she is. she love her family. she loved her daughter. she loved god. this was just traumatic for everybody. >> reporter: once a resident for oregon working for the forest service for a program designed to help at risk youth she was touted as a case study even receiving a role model award in 2012 speaking about her experience. >> i beat the odds and was the first in my immediate family to graduate high school. >> reporter: poic putting out
7:08 am
the statement it's hard to believe la'keshia did this. she was such a great kid while she was part of our program. holloway was emotionless when she was arrested sunday night. her daughter, now in protective custody while police search for her father. holloway's deadly ride ending in this casino parking lot. >> she left the scene and left her toddler within the vehicle and contacted a valet parker and advised that she had ran over some individuals and requested the valet parker to call 911. >> reporter: there are reports this morning that she changed her name in the last couple of months, now she changed are it to paris paradise morton and, george and lara, you may remember investigators initially said they had a hard time learning about her past and that might be part of the reason why. >> all right, kayna, thank you so much. just does not add up. >> so much promise before. okay, we'll move on to more trouble for chipotle. the cdc investigating another e. coli outbreak linked to the chain. this one in three states coming after that outbreak in november

7:10 am
ingredients before re-opening. as for this latest outbreak, a spokesman for chipotle tells abc news it was not unexpected saying we have indicated before that we expected that we may see additional cases stemming from this. since this issue began, we have completed a comprehensive reassessment of our food safety programs adding, we're confident that we can achieve i level of food safety risk that is near zero. chipotle has already made massive changes in response and is now centralizing the preparation of some vegetables and also moving away from its use of locally sourced ingredients which the company often used as a selling point to differentiate itself from other fast food chains and once again chipotle's stock dropped significantly yesterday in the wake of this more than 3% and while health officials don't know what the culprit is they think it likely is produce. >> it's a real trade-off on the local sourcing. >> exactly and really unfortunate. this was something that was really significant for them that people liked. >> absolutely.
7:11 am
linsey, thank you. now to a major security breach at one of the nation's busiest airports just as millions of americans get set to fly for the holiday, this morning, we are learning about a man who managed to get on to the runway at jfk in new york city shutting down part of the airport and david kerley is at reagan national with details. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning. this happened at the american airlines terminal. a man seen walking across a taxiway. we're just learning about it this morning. it happened nine days ago. now, according to our station wabc, a cargo worker even went up to the man and asked him if he had an airport badge and used profanity and said don't say anything and kept walking toward the terminal and disappeared. he got over a piece of fence that didn't have sensors which is alarming for a new york congressman. >> we could not allow that there be any weak links. the days we live in, we have zero room for error. >> reporter: now this is not the
7:12 am
first breach at jfk and it is very concerning for new york politicians, the port authority still looking for this man, looking at closed circuit video to try to figure out where he is and where he went. >> yeah, concerning to say the least. thank you. now dan has the morning's other top stories starting with news from space, i understand. >> that's right, good morning, everybody. we'll start with a milestone accomplishment in space travel. the private company spacex launched an unmanned rocket from cape canaveral sending several satellites into orbit and made history when the rocket flew back to the launch spice and the booster landed upright. reusable rockets like this could dramatically lower the cost of space travel paving the way for space tourism. we have learned that one of the six american service members killed in that suicide bombing in afghanistan on monday was a new york city police detective. joseph lemm was on his second deployment in afghanistan with the air national guard. the taliban which claimed responsibility for the attack made significant gains in recent fighting.

7:16 am
>> he behaved like a complete jerk. >> reporter: but his team believes there may be more than meets the eye. giants sources telling espn panthers fans yelled anti-gay slurs and members of the panthers holding baseball bats on the field allegingly pointing them at beckham and these created an edgy tone for the game. >> there are people in the giants organization who believe that odell beckham jr. felt threatened by the actions of at least one panther who was carrying a bat and helped incite him. >> reporter: but the panthers denying the slurs and the threats. their spokesman saying bats on the field are tradition and nothing new. panthers players showing others carrying bats saying they're used as motivational tools symbolizing bringing the wood on the field. now, according to espn, beckham has appealed the suspension which is expected to be heard wednesday and ruled upon before next sunday's giants game but
7:17 am
many, guy, saying that beckham went too far with this and that the punishment wasn't far enough. >> not likely to turn around, is it? >> i don't think so, but you never know. it was out of control. >> it was watching it. nonstop. >> stunning. >> ryan, thank you very much. moving on now to scary moments at seaworld in orlando. dozens trapped for hours, 200 feet above the ground in a ride called the sky tower. abc's reena ninan has the story. >> reporter: a sky high scare at seaworld. vacationers stuck hundreds of feet above ground. >> i want to get out of this thing. >> reporter: the more than 40-year-old rotating 400-foot sky tower elevator. >> the tower is stuck with approximately 50 people and two employees. >> reporter: didn't move for about three hours. firefighters. >> establishing seaworld command. >> reporter: arrive for the rescue as parents try to calm children. >> chill out and rest. >> reporter: finally a basket.

7:32 am
moment might have gotten to him. now we got all these theories out there, a lawsuit pending, people can't accept it. it's maybe is as simple as he made a mistake. >> miss universe 2015 is colombia. >> reporter: how could he make such a mistake? >> i have toapologize. the first runner-up is colombia. miss universe 2015 is philippines. >> reporter: this morning some on social media are suggesting there may be more to the story. the sentiment echoed by thousands of others on twitter. i generally don't buy conspiracy theories but this is the most attention the miss universe pageant has gotten since, well, ever. harvey made no excuses and repeatedly and emphatically said
7:33 am
it was his fault alone. >> i made a mistake. i didn't read first runner-up on the card. >> niecy nash who posted this with fellow judge perez hilton. >> people are going crazy in here. oh, my gosh. >> reporter: speculation is that the teleprompter could have led to the gaffe but miss australia says seesaw with her own eyes the teleprompter got it right. >> all the girls saw philippines, you may now take your first walk as miss universe. >> reporter: while both contestants handled themselves with dignity and poise, the country of colombia is fighting mad. the hashtag that translates the crown must be respected is trending and a colombiian law firm says two of its attorneys are filing suit saying the crown is an acquired right that cannot be taken away from us. even miss colombia's fellow countrywoman sofia vergara is getting in on the act with a caption that translates, the
7:34 am
queen anyway. some are floating the suggestion that maybe they should share the crown, lara, no word on that just yet. >> all right, t.j., well, joining us now exclusively is perez hilton, one of the judges. i have to ask what were you and the other judges thinking when you heard the name miss colombia called? >> my first thought was, wow, this is rigged because i knew how i voted and i knew how all the other judges voted. all of us voted for philippines to win so we were in shock and then when we found out that there was a mistake, i was like, this is brilliant. they did this on purpose for publicity. i mean that's how my mind works. >> well, you're not alone in that. but let me ask you, you were there, what do you think went wrong on that stage? >> well, you know, since the pageant there have been reports that steve missed part of rehearsals, that he was out gambling and drinking and having a good time. he made a mistake but he also
7:35 am
could have been tired and hung over. you know, he just didn't do his job well. period. >> i mean, but we've heard there's a tele3r0789er that you could see the names in the teleprompter. from your vantage point because i've been a judge and i've been the host of miss america and i know it's live tv. it is happening, it's very fluid. but did you see anything that could have gone wrong that made this happen? >> well, there is a prompter, but the moment where he crowns the winner isn't on the prompter because that moment, they don't want the other girls to know, so it was just on his card and he read it incorrectly. >> right. well, as i said, though, i mean just to say for steve that is a live television event that is happening, it's very, very fluid. did you get a chance, perez, to talk to steve afterwards? >> no, he disappeared as soon as everything went down and it was crazy for us in the theater
7:36 am
after the broadcast ended because people were booing and screaming and emmitt smith came up to me saying somebody was shot outside the theater. we didn't have all the information yet on exactly what had happened on the strip, so it was pandemonium inside. >> yeah, i would imagine so. i'm sure the fans were very confused as were the contestants. what do you think of the idea of joint crown, sharing it? >> you know, i actually think that miss philippines whom we all voted for deserves to win, won, but losing is the best thing that ever happened to colombia, so in one sense she truly is the winner, although, as a judge and i'm looking at everything that happened, i see her posting on instagram that she's the true winner, there's a reason, many reasons she didn't win, congratulations to philippines. >> wow, perez hilton, there you go. i guess in some ways everyone is
7:37 am
a winner. >> speaks his mind. >> he sure does. >> keeping it real on tuesday morning. >> perez, we thank you. >> coming up here we'll talk to the u.s. marshal leading the manhunt for the most wanted teen in america for ethan couch and his mother. and little adrian is getting his first live tv appearance, ginger and her husband ben join us live with the newest member of the "gma" family. >> oh. >> oh. >> he's cute. >> hi, adrian. he looks like you, ging. >> he really does. >> cute baby. es, chills, and fever, there's no such thing as a little flu. and it needs a big solution: an antiviral. so when the flu hits, call your doctor right away and up the ante with antiviral tamiflu. prescription tamiflu is an antiviral that attacks the flu virus at its source and helps stop it from spreading in the body. tamiflu is fda approved to treat the flu in people two weeks of age and older

together. she's helping him and she's assisting him. >> reporter: a u.s. marshals and fbi are now joining the hunt for mother and son. sources close to the investigation telling abc news it's assumed that ethan may try to change his appearance. >> he's not the kind of person that rehabilitates who learns his less on. >> reporter: he was 16 when he killed four people driving drunk in 2013, convicted and sentenced to only probation after an expert testified couch suffered from affluenza, a condition caused by his healthy upbringing preventing him from knowing right from wrong. it is not an officially recognized diagnosis. >> i have never seen a case that sparked such outrage, that sparked such emotion from people. four totally innocent people were taken away in a second by the irresponsible actions of this juvenile. >> reporter: officials say this social media video posted earlier this month shows couch at a party near a beer pong table. the sheriff believes that possible parole violation is what caused couch now 18 to
7:43 am

8:19 am
legislation models would say, okay, let's all agree we'll gain "x" amount or internal pressure as an individual to be thin? >> i think that -- the industry is not solely responsible, okay. >> that's what i was -- >> i think that there are multiple sources of pressure, but everyone needs to do their part because i think that we all want to promote a healthy ideal for the girls working in the industry and the people who look up to these models. >> yeah, i was going to say girls like my daughter who think the beall end all is on that catwalk. >> and the industry has not been good at regulating itself. that's why all these other countries have stepped up and i think the u.s. needs to do more, as well. >> thank you for stepping up and speaking out. sara, thank you very much. >> thanks so much. >> george. >> thank you, lara. robin has a big special tonight. her look back at all the big moments that define 2015 and the people who inspired us most. here's a sneak peek at her heroes of the year. >> this year, there were no shortages of heroes. or shall we say sheroes.
