"gma" with "star wars" about to become the biggest movie ever, this morning we take you to one of the hidden worlds where it was filmed. the icy place behind the hottest hit right now. ♪ >> good morning, america. i love that music. >> i know. >> so many spectacular other worldly landscapes in "star wars." you see it right there. and now people are actually going and flocking there to visit these places. amy on her way to one right now. we're hear from her in a little bit. >> with amy on a special assignment it's good to have tom llamas with us. we begin with the race for the white house. donald trump and bill clinton going head to head on the campaign trail overnight. the gop front-runner going after the former president. abc's cecilia vega is here and, cecilia, the race heating up with just 27 days to go for the first votes. >> oh, but who is counting, right? good morning to you. all eyes on iowa. those caucuses right around the

korndzer. a sign this race is hotter than ever, take a listen to this. bill clinton has been in donald trump's direct line of fire for a few days now, but finally the former president is speaking out for the very first time. overnight, donald trump stirring up this crowd of thousands with a one-two punch. >> hillary, hillary, let's say hillary is president. oh. >> reporter: and just a few miles away. >> it's kind of scary this year. >> reporter: hillary clinton's husband on his first solo campaign trip this election taking some not so subtle jabs right back. >> when there is discrimination against african-americans or hispanics or muslims, just because of who they are, i don't like that. >> reporter: bill clinton not mentioning trump by name or his recent tactic dredging up those past scandals. >> this is a woman that has been really an enabler and that's not a good situation for hillary.

>> reporter: so i asked, donald trump says your past is fair game. i've got to ask you, you keep coming up on the trail with him. is it fair game? after a long pause, finally an answer. >> the republicans have to decide who they want to nominate. i'm trying to tell the democrats and the country why i think hillary would be the best president and i think there's always attempts to take the election away from the people. >> reporter: trump taking his offensive to the airwaves too. >> he'll stop illegal immigration by building a wall in our southern border that mexico will pay for. >> reporter: his first campaign ad just released and already under fire. this image of a flood of immigrants racing toward what appears to be the u.s. border in mexico. but it turns out this border, 5,000 miles away in morocco. trump now on the defensive. >> that was just video footage. it's just a display of what our country will look like. we're like a third world country

like a dumping ground. take it any way you want. >> reporter: hillary clinton trying to stay above the fray with a new donald trump strategy in the new year. >> i've adopted a new year's resoluti resolution. i'm going to let him live in his alternative reality and i'm not going to respond. >> okay, cecilia, that new year's resolution from hillary clinton and you could feel bill clinton biting his tongue when you asked him that question. >> yeah, he seemed to pause like he seemed to be staying on message yesterday, this might be the bill clinton of the 2016 race. we talked yesterday about how he got in trouble in 2008 for going off message. this time around i think you're probably going to see a more subdued bill clinton, at least for the time being. the words that are being used this morning is that he very much knows his role this time around. that he is, in fact, the supporting actor, if she is the star of this show >> let's talk about that with matthew dowd, our little

analyst. matthew, you think hillary should make another new year's resolution thought to use bill clinton that much. >> i think she should leave bill clinton at home in the course of this. one, we all know he's popular. the problem is he reinforces with the voters she is part of the past even if you like that past it's part of the past and voters always want the future. the other thing i think is this helps donald trump in the republican primary. it helps him because hillary clinton is despised by republican voters and it's a bank shot through bill to get to hillary. in the short term this helps donald trump. >> so he's attacking bill clinton. meanwhile, you see all these other republican candidates in this final four weeks until the iowa caucuses really starting to attack each other. >> reporter: yeah, we're in the time of the thing where it's musical chairs but to teacher in the classroom to keep the rules. more chairs have been pulled out. limited space so see who can stay in. we have green eggs and ham and fantasy football and limited chairs and people are trying to get the last few remaining. >> the real grudge match,

between ted cruz leading in iowa and marco rubio, another 44-year-old cuban-american senator. they seem to be fighting it out for that space right behind donald trump overall. >> yeah, i mean, donald trump is still the dominant character in this race, but somebody needs to be second or somebody needs to be third in the course of this race and you have two brand-new senators going at it as you say in the course of this and i think it's only going to get more and more heated as we get closer to iowa and as we leave iowa into new hampshire and the other states along the way. this is going to be a very heated race between the two of them. >> no question about that, matthew dowd, cecilia vega, thanks very much. to robin. now to president obama's big push to keep guns out of the hands of criminals addressing the nation later this morning announcing actions he hopes will reduce gun violence all this without the help from congress. pierre is in washington with details. pierre, what exactly is changing today? >> reporter: good morning, robin. with the stroke of a pen the

president is potentially greatly expanding the universe of people who should consider themselves as federal gun dealers and as a result require background checks on their gun sales. we're talking about hundreds if not thousands of people who are now selling firearms at gun shows or online. the white house is essentially saying if you routinely get income from gun sales you should consider yourself a commercial dealer, those who violate this mandate selling guns with no background checks and without registering with the federal government are subject to five years in jail and a $250,000 fine, robin. >> what would be the possible impact of this, pierre? >> reporter: well, there's some question as to whether there are enough federal agents to enforce the new guidelines. proponents say this could mean many more background checks on gun purchases catching people who fell through the cracks. opponents say it puts more burden on gun lovers who like to sell weapons. >> okay, pierre, thank you. abc will have live coverage of president obama's announcement on gun control later this morning expected to be around 11:40. >> we move on to that rough

start to the new year on wall street coming off the worst opening since the financial collapse of 2008. you see the numbers right there. the dow down almost 300 points. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is at the new york stock exchange this morning and, rebecca, worries about china sparked the sell-off yesterday. what is the forecast today. >> we are looking at another volatile day here. overnight in china stocks sold off again and the stock marc here is setting for a down day at least 100 points. the big issue as you say is china. fears of a slowdown in the world's second largest economy having a ripple effect on the united states and other global economies, second, issues with oil. now, oil prices are near the lowest levels they've been in years and that's great news for consumers but it's bad news when it comes to energy companies and the jobs that those energy companies create, george. it's all setting up for a volatile day on wall street. >> a rough start to the year means a rough start for the year. >> there is an old saying,

george, here on wall street, as january goes, so goes the year for stocks, the good news is that there are still 18 trading days left in january to reset the tone for the year. >> thanks very much. >> always optimistic. that standoff in oregon. authorities and residents there are telling the armed militia men who seized federal land to leave but they are not backing down. and abc's neal karlinsky spent time inside that wildlife refuge. good morning shg, neal. >> reporter: they spent three frozen nights inside the compound which is on a dirt road back there. not exactly a glamorous place to hold a siege. so far despite calls for others to join their cause their numbers have not been growing. this morning authorities are publicly telling an armed group of ranchers in rural oregon to pack up and get out. >> it's time for to you leave our community, go home to your families and end this peacefully. >> reporter: the group which now

calls itself citizens for constitutional freedom is holed up inside this federal wildlife sanctuary, land they seized while no one was here. >> it's been coming and going a lot. seems like some of their supplies. we were allowed inside to see where they sleep and prepare meals and found this man who posted this emotional good-bye to his family before joining up. >> my daughters, maddie and lil lilly, i love you so much. your daddy swore an oath. he swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution. >> reporter: inside his views were the most sobering of anyone we met. do you fear this could turn into something serious enough you would not be able to return to your family? >> there's always that chance. i'll tell you right now nobody here will fire that first shot. we will protect ourselves, but that's not what we want. >> reporter: the group says they're fighting for nothing short of the liberation of thousands of miles of federal land which they believe should be returned to america's

ranchers. their initial cause outrage over the conviction of fellow ranchers who turned themselves in to federal prison monday for setting fires on public land was just the beginning of a string of grievances. there are no police anywhere near here. so far sources indicated that because the area is so incredibly remote authorities are in no hurry to do anything but watch and wait, george. >> they could be hunkered down for a long time. thanks very much. we'll turn to the fight against isis and the hunt for this masked man from the terror group's latest execution video. authorities trying to determine the identity of this new jihadi john and abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross here with the details. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, george. u.s. and british authorities today are closely studying this latest isis propaganda video frame by frame trying to identify the new english speaking executioner who is now taking the place of the terrorist called jihadi john killed last year in a u.s. drone strike.

behind the blacks mask the isis 2016 version of evil personified speaking with a british accent. >> and we will continue to wage jihad, break borders and one day invade your land. >> reporter: since the release of this 10 1/2-minute video which shows the execution of five supposed british spies, u.s. and british officials have been analyzing it in detail looking at the physical build, the eyes and the speaking voice and accent of the new isis executioner who calls british prime minister david cameron an imbecile. >> only an imbecile would dare to anger a people who love death the way that you love your life. >> reporter: among the possible suspects is this well-known british radical, hasadartha dar after he and his mentor an gem choudhury were arrested by scotland yard on charges of supporting terrorism. >> the jihad is not a bad thing.

>> reporter: interviewed by lama hasan in 2014 as he urged young muslim men in london to push for th sharia law. >> i think that will be the beginning of the end of the united states of america, britain and the entire world. >> reporter: a side-by-side comparison of dar and the new executioner is far from conclusive. his family says it's not sure it's him. some reporters who ivent viewed dar say it is him and others say it is not. one person in the video who has been identified by his family is this young english speaking boy who isis shamelessly uses to call for the killing of disbeliefers. a london cab driver now told british reporters that that young boy is his grandson, the child of his daughter who went to syria to marry an isis fighter and has used the boy repeatedly in social media propaganda on behalf of isis. >> thanks very much. other top stories from tom llamas in for amy starting with a nightmare for commuters in

favorite of drug lords including el chapo guzman. when he allegedly couldn't pay all of his bill, bouncers escorted the teen who had been convicted of killing four in a 2013 drunk driving crash back to his resort. there we're told his mother paid the tab. this morning couch is in a much more sober place, this immigration detention center in mexico city which we visited in 2001. there mostly central american mike grants are in a room. couch is fighting his deportation back to the u.s. investigators say ethan couch and his more tonya fled to mexico in december allegedly skipping probation when this video purportedly showing him at a drunken party went viral on twitter. family members of his victims disgusted. >> saw kind of the details of it and we just looked at each other and were like, really. what a stupid plan? you know, i mean, for an escape plan that's -- wasn't well

kratz says important evidence was left out of the documentary, evidence like avery had drawn a torture chamber while in prison, that avery called the vic's job to specifically request halbach the day she died and called her cell phone three types twice using the star 67 feature to hide his identity. the filmmakers say they were always concerned with fairness and accuracy. >> from my perspective it's a fair representation of what we witnessed going on and that the prosecution and the victim's family have voices in this series, we hear them talking about how they're feeling. we hear the prosecutor talking about why he thinks his case is strong. >> reporter: when abc news approached netflix, we were told there was no further comment. for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> thanks, linsey. we are joined by the former prosecutor at the center of that case, ken kratz. thanks for joining us. we outlined some of the evidence you believe was left out.

why do you think they left it out. >> obviously this wasn't a documentary at all. this was a defense piece. it was generated by and for steven avery by his defense team. it wasn't until netflix decided to repackage this as a documentary that both sides were invited to participate. and so if some of the evidence that was selected, i would call it handpicked or cherry-picked over an 18-month period didn't fit with the narrative or the conclusion that mr. avery was the product of a conspiracy or some planting of evidence, it's my belief that the filmmakers just wouldn't include that information. my biggest concern about this whole process was their decision then to call it a documentary. >> you think steven avery should have a new trial? >> this docudrama i think it's called, itself is not going to form the basis of a new trial. it doesn't matter how much

attention it receives, unless there's a legal challenge that comes forth there shouldn't be any reason for a new trial. >> the flipmakers also included information about you in the documentary. something we covered in years past that you were forced out of office because of a sexting scandal. do you think that was relevant and is that why you didn't participate in the film? >> well, that part of the case is rather disturbing. they included some problems that i engaged in which were deploreable. there wasn't any excuse for that kind of behavior but they happened three years after the conclusion of the avery case and so the relevance didn't make any sense to me and really a lot of people that are watched it. they don't have anything to do however with the steven avery case. the filmmakers knew that and to include it, i think, was unfair. >> finally several hundred thousand people have petitioned president obama to pardon steven avery. what do you say to them? >> well, as i understand, the

president since it's a state case wouldn't have any pardon opportunity and i doubt that any executive officer whether it's the president or the governor is going to weigh in on this in any substantial way. it's unfortunate, however, that the victim's family really has to go through questions and this kind of nonsense that law enforcement is responsible for the death of their family member rather than those that were convicted of the crimes. >> mr. kratz, thanks for your time this morning. >> all right. george, have a good day. >> he's right about that. the president really has no grounds for stepping in here. >> a lot of people are talking about this documentary. coming up caught on camera, a woman escaping from a carjacker. how she was finally able to break free. wait till you see this video. come on back. living with chronic migraine

means you're not listening to their conversations. you're not being in the moment. you're always on your device when other things are going on and if you have kids and your kids are saying to you, you know, dad, dad, dad, you don't hear them, that's another sign that you're on it too much. >> these are the signs you're talking about. it lets you know you're on. it goes beyond that. if you want to kind of break away from doing this, what are some of the suggests you have. >> the first thing, you can use your device to help you. there's some apps out there that will track how often you're checking your device. one is called moment. they'll tell you how much time you're spending on there. you can use -- you can turn off your social media notifications. that buzz in your pocket is going to pull you out. if my phone is buzzing, i'm not hearing what you're saying. i'm thinking who is it? what's going on? what did they post on social media. you can try airplane mode or do not disturb for free time. >> if you want to go hard core, if you really want to detox, be

done with it. >> one thing we talk about have a gadget-free zone. where you eat is clearly a space. don't have it in your pocket because clearly you're going to be reacting for it. go for a walk, go to gym, leaving at home. that would be -- see how you feel about that that's going to be really hard. >> the reaction of people. >> exactly then have a cell phone curfew. a couple of hours before bed so you can turn down. i got to say pore people have talked to me about this today, everyone is saying, i have to find a way to disconnect. >> i know. maybe not completely wiping it out but if you really aware of how much time you're spending and just kind of cut back on it just a bit. and you can use a phone just as a phone. >> if you're more focused on that post you're going to make instead of being there and living the moment you've got problems. >> thanks very much. we got a lot of people insight with us brought them in from the cold but outside with rob too. rob. >> they are tough, robin. >> robin come on. alabama, people from california.

doesn't eat gluten which is a very l.a. move if you ever live there. >> i said to you, off camera, who is your favorite and you said that you really couldn't choose because they kind of all blended together to you. >> there were a lot of b2 waves. a lot of -- >> i feel like i am right there. >> it was a game of guess who except everybody had the same hairstyle and face. you can't figure out who's who. there was one girl who stood out. >> the lace is your early favorite. >> lace is the fave. she has an american glad yachter's name. already puts her ahead of the pack. she's a drunk which i love. >> good tv. >> great tv. >> she doesn't have beachy waves. she's a brunette. >> she had a nice updo actually. she was very cecily strong on "snl." i wasn't sure if she was real. she's so absolutely out of her mind but she is fantastic and i believe if the -- what do you

call it, kind of season preview is to be believed she does give a girl a black eye. >> oh, no. >> so everybody needs to start watching "the bachelor." >> do you feel they're just pushing envelope to a place that people are feeling the need to find unicorn heads? >> i mean, you know, if it were me i always say if i got out of the limo i'd be in a wedding gown holding a newborn covered in blood. like i'm so ready for you, ben. love me. >> ben, run, don't walk. so all in all would you say this season will not disappoint? >> i'm not kidding you, best season -- where is my camera, best season of "the bachelor," i'm serious. i'll be live tweeting every week. join me at michcoll, little plug. >> any words of wisdom. >> for ben? >> yes. >> i mean, you know, just mace. how to protect himself. mace and like conceal something. i don't know. >> oh, no. >> i don't know what i'm saying. what time is it? >> it's live tv. we love you, we love you because

it? adrenaline leaves and your mind starts to wander. >> yeah. >> i haven't thought about my family once tonight. thinking about them now. >> of course, based on a true story, 2012. there had to have been some internal pressure for you to get this right. >> oh, 100%. i think there was pressure on everybody, certainly the actors and i will give a ton of credit to michael baey from the moment he decided to do it he wanted to get it right from obviously based on a book about the true story and i think a lot don't know about the true story. i think people think they know about benghazi. i didn't know it. >> tell me your perception versus what you learned. >> sure, i think there's so much focus on the situation politically that this was an opportunity for everybody to hear the human story of what happened that night which is six heroes went in to attempt to

save ambassador stevens and ended up saving so many american lives that night and these guys were not active military so they were retired and hired contractors so they had no obligation to go in and within a split second put their lives on the line which is i mean the true definition of heroism. >> do you feel like this movie will re-open the wound, the debate of what happened in benghazi. >> i don't know if there is an debate. searching for the truth is always something that's very important and i think that, you know, these guys were on set every day with us, we were so lucky to have the real guys with us. i got to meet the guy i was playing and these guys are the most wonderful unassuming very heroic people that, you know, i think it's about time we tell their story of what they went through. >> absolutely and everybody can see that movie, that's coming out on january 1th.

that. roll it. >> no. >> oh. >> oh, yeah. >> when you create the show you should be able to put something like this in a vault. i should have done that. >> you have to do that when it's your show as executive producer and i do have to report that you didn't win. >> yeah, i definitely didn't win. i definitely made that dress myself. just -- no, i didn't. some fabulous people did. that's kind of embarrassing but i'm glad you're like, oh, i love this show. makes my nightmare every day. >> well, the show is fantastic. also not only "13 hours," "lip sync battle". "the hollers" coming out -- >> i directed it. >> you directed it. how was that for you. >> phenomenal. it was a movie i was attached to as an actor and asked if i would direct it and i did and it was so much fun. we had the most amazing cast of people from anna kendrick, richard. it was just amazing. richard jenkins. >> couldn't happen to a nicer

onions, peppers, garlic. you can take a jar or make your own marinara. >> tom llamas just getting right in there. >> really good. >> wow. >> sauce is excellent, rob. >> i would love to try. >> nothing delicate about your dish, rob. i'm not going to lie to you. >> it's not about being delicate. >> how do you do this? >> it's your lucky day. there you go. >> yeah. >> so how does it work? do we have -- >> you win. >> we'll be back and explain. >> i don't know. what do you think, puffs knows winter... ...is hard on your nose there's the endless runny noses. the sneezes that just won't quit and of course, the biting cold of snow day play. that's why puffs is soft. puffs plus lotion tissues... ...are gentle on skin. they help soothe irritation by locking in moisture better. so you can get out and enjoy winter a nose in need deserves puffs indeed.

for softness that fits anywhere, try puffs softpack. our cosmetics line was a hit. the orders were rushing in. i could feel our deadlines racing towards us. we didn't need a loan. we needed short-term funding fast. building 18 homes in 4 ½ months? that was a leap. but i knew i could rely on american express to help me buy those building materials. amex helped me buy the inventory i needed. our amex helped us fill the orders. just like that.

it felt like to have that sense of isolation and then the final piece was getting to know jacob who plays my son and i think once all of those pieces came together she made so much sense to me and the story kind of opened up and became a universal one, the story of our lives and story of growing up and falling in love, all of those wonderful things. >> and family dynamic takes hold after they escape. what i thought was so amazing about it is how real that relationships were. didn't sugar coat it at all. >> that was kind of our intention with all of this, it's a true testament to our author emma done shoe and our director lenny abramson, we wanted to come from an authentic place to tell it as beautifully as possible and love is a wonderful thing and is really painful and one of the great risk of it. >> you earned a fwloelden globe nomination. up for best drama. amy schumer co-star in
