New headlines in the race for president now and more good nenews foronald trumpp as his opponents step up their attacks, a new poll out this morning frontrunner solidifying his lead with marco rubibio, ben carson and ted cruz now nk and neck for second place. Abcs tom llamas has the latest. Good morning. Good morning. This is not good news for dr. Ben carson. Hes down seven points in about a month. Why the droppy those polls feel he doesnt have the right experience oreadership qualities. As for trump, slightltly higher than he wasast time around when this poll was condued and headed ithe right direion. This morning, a new National Poll s shows dond trump not only on top but growing. They say that i have the most loyal people. You know, others, if you sneeze they drop you. Me, i can sneeeeze, i can say things that i thinknk are right. Reporter overnight those loyal troops in hisis campaign fueling the frontrunners claims thatuslims celebrated on 9 11 in new jersey. Tweeting this video from a local new york city station after the attack reptingng on rumors o were celebrating the destruction that the saw fro the roof. Reporter despite the claims the video does not show any must lips celebrating o on rorotops attributededo sourc peppered with inaccurate information. Trumps allegations fueling friction with new jersey governor chris christie. Christie, who received key endorsements in New Hampshire willing to take on trump or his words. If donald statarts yelling and screaming in the middle of a spee youll be sure ill say, sit down and shut up. Reporter candidates like christie and also senator ted cruz hoping to winver voters at like a toughtalking candidate like trump. Cruz detecting most criminals to a Political Party on tuesday. W, listen, heres the simple and undeniable fact. The overwhelming majority of violt criminals are democrats. Reporter but we couldnt find any research or statistic that shows that. The Cruz Campaign telling abc news, the senator bas his statement on a study conducted in only thrhr statas that showed states registered as democrats. When e elected democrats push to give felons the rht to vote, it is aerfectly rationale and reasonable inference to say those democrats understand that the overwhelming jority of violent criminals vote democratic. Reporter now, back to trump, a moment of reflection, rare moment of reflection from the billnaire last night. He talked about not serving in vietnam because of several reasons including draft number and as well as problems with his foot but last night he said h felt guilty about not rving. George. A different tone from trump last night. Joined by new jersey governor chris christie. We saw ted cruz, the overwhelming majority of violent criminals are democrats. Youre a former prosecutor. What did you think of that. I i neveroticed that in my experience but doesnt matter in the end somome of this stuff that gets said. Americans are worried about after paris nothing else is portant. Youve been talking about th a lot but coming in for some criticism by one of your predessors, former governor thomas kaine and the rhettic he says is helping isis. I think hes wrong with all due respect to the governor. My point is this, why doesnt the president listen to the fbi director. He said we cant vet these people and not vet them nearly at the speed the president wants toto bring them in. My poi is simple, they cant be vetted, the surity and safety of t t American People have to be placed first a its no me, itts he says it cant be 100 . Even women and children. We have seen women and Children Play roles in terrorist attacks before. You and i both know this. And so the fact is that we can all play to the u. N. Crowd a and say w we want to get applausee from those folks around the world. Im worried about the homeland here and the American People are worried about their safety and make sure folks are vetteded that is not that is not a unreasonable request. You and donald trump have been going at it a little bit more but a gre story in the new york times, comprehensive story that talks about some concern in the republican ranks about donald trump as the potential nominee and quote a prominent republican northth saying if dald trump is the nominee were going to get wiped out. Is that ue . I don know but hes not going to be the nominee because i am. Im n worried about that. Im not going to spelate about anybody else the nominee because im in this thing to win. Were gaining momentum in New Hampshire. And were talking about the issues that people care about and we have been talking about those issue for months and thats why theyrere beginning to resonate. You did a big endorsement over the weekend that spurred headlines for you. Youre still stuck in seveventh place in the polls in New Hampshire. Dont you have e to win there to have a chance . I dont know if i have to win there but i have t to do well and i think well figure that out once wee get to nuary, see just but as you know, there have been folks that have gone second place there and declared victory as second place. Second place a victory for you in New Hampshire to donald trump. It depends. Well se we dont know that donald d trump will w New Hampshire either. We dont know who will win. New hampshir votererssotorious mama their digs late. In the last election nearly 70 made their decision in thehe last two weeks so well be focused on continuing to work real hard up there. Get our message out, do our tow Hall Meetings and win vote, bumps at a time. Youve also suggested voters dont want an amateur hour. Dont want to reelect senats like ted cruz and marco rubio but so far they seem to be recting idea that experienen is what matatrs in this election. Thatsnly according to polls at the moment. People havent voted yet and i think the seriousness of whas happening in pis and around the world tell people new is nice, its wonderful, its shiny and exciting but we had new for the last seven years and iont think people are all that you need experience. Peop want someone there thats made these decisions. As a prosececutor and govnor ii made these decisions and willlle makingg that case in New Hampshire and around the country. Governor christie, thanks very much. Good to have the govnor here in the studio with us. Now to that massive recall. An e. Coli outbreak at major chai across the country.

I dont think this is something, a decision you can allow have to outsidid influenens to dictate whether or not you continue t t play. It must come from you. So once i knew this was it, might as well say it. How did you know this was it . I try to havet least 15 minutes of still time and just kind of sit in my thoughts in the morning and meditate. Normally what happens with me my mind would always drift to the ga, always. And then i found myself sitting there my mind wouldnt drift to the game all the time anymore and ttshen i realized its getting close. Not just 20 years but 20 years with the same team, the l. A. Lakers. Ho important is that to you . Extremely. It means everything to me. I was such a huge laker fan growing up. A dierd laker n, magic posters, magic tshirts and was my dream and to be herer for 2 2 mentors its b bn a drere come true. The fans, the letter that you wrote, you wanted to speak to your fans first. Why . Well, because i think it was important for them to know how ch they meant to me. The letter still doesnt do it justice and how important theyve been. How vital theyve been in my career and i mean we grew up together andnd thats such a beautiful thing. Was it a slow process to get here or was it justst one of tse light switch went off and you id no. Its a whole process and something that evolved over the last t threeears with the achilles injury that really frightened me because my career could be over now. It scared me. What am i going to do next trained hard and came back the next season and fractured my knee and traed harder and tore my shoulder and then it was juice like, oh this is one thing after the next so it was kind of a slow sheyear processss of kind of evolving to get where i am. The 17time allstar calls himselfis biggest critic and his best. Do you feel youre being treatly fairly this season being your last and all that you have done for the sport . Yeah, i mean i wouldnt have it any other way. You cant just sit around and expect everyone to give praise all the time. You got to beble to take the goododith the bad. One of the most important things i can share with the younger genetion is to accept it al dont have any expectations or lean on or rely on positive reporting on your career or negative. Have you accomplished everything that youve wanted to on the court . No. No. I wanted eight championships as a dreamy kid growing up, i wanted eight. W eight . T .

Its fantastic too be mentioned in the same breath as those p playersonestly to me, thats everything. Well sit and debate endlessly who would win on a oneonone matchup between me and m. J.

So happy that shes a career behind the camera. The latest issue of porter available globallyy on friday. Over the counter and prescription medicatitions. One in eightht america use them. Are they always the best alternative . Becky worley takes a look. Reporter insomnia, toining, turning, desperate to get a im not getting restful sleep and havent for many years and on t average its 4 to 4 1 2 hours a night. Reporter brenda suffered with it for 25 years an tried prescription m mication but rarely t tes it fofofear of becoming addicted. Ive tried almost everything im aware of to try. I have changed my bedding, i have blackout shades, ive changed my eating habits. Reporter but lots of americans do take prescription medication. In 2013, 9 million americans had prescriptions for sedatives. Recently though sometudies suest sleepingills may increase the risk of psychiatric issues and even cancer for some people. Though a definitive cause and effect link has not been established. I think sleep aids should be used for an acute need but theyre not the best use for longterm care of your insomnia. Reporter so this past fall brenda underwent a sleep test at the university of chicago medical center. The results she had 32 brief awakengs every hour so now shes trying something alternative. Program. I really need to limit my computer work because of the blue light they were sharing with me eating earlr, no alcohol. R rorter its also recommended for sleep restriction. Only get in bed when youre sleepy. Notv, no devices. If after 30 minutes you cant sleep, get up and go somewhere else. Cognitive behavioral therapy allows the patient to approach the bed and restruure their thought process so that the bed is for sleeping and itts not a stressful experience. Reporter eloying new Behavioral Changes brenda is now tracking her sleep. The first night netteddix hours and a month into the program shes a araging f fe hours, an improvement she says. Anything could h help me im willing to do becau im goal driven to get this taken care of. Reporter for good morning america, becky worley, abc news, oakland, california. Lets talk to dr. Jen ashton about is. We heard a little about the consequences of prescription medications. Right. What more d do we know. Not a lot. Hardly anything in the medical liteture past 12 months of use. How the big classes of sleep aids work. Basically the valium or xanax class, the ambien class of medication both work similarly in thehe brain, sedating. The problem is associated risks of longter use, what is in the literature, not great. You can see issues with brain,n, memory function, heart, in terms of high bleep. G. I. System, nausea, vomiting, ab nall pain, weight gain, memetrual irregularities, you have to balancece those risks against the r rks of being sleep deprived. Its not the kind of thing yo want to be doing every night. I agree. What about over the counter. Two main classes, you have the sedating antihistamines like benadryl, andthen the sleep hormone melatonin. The thing with these antistamines, t they will increase the time you spend asleep but they make that sleepep day you will be more sleep depriviv. Melatonin good for Something Like jet lag but its a hormone not regulated by the fda. Not regulated at all. Only if they find a problem after its on the shelf. What other tips do you have. The onus of responsibility has to be on the medical community of we cannot write a prescription for a sleep aid and send someone on their way for life and take i forever. If you need tout or taper down some cannot be stopped abruptly. You can cut it in half, alternate one day on, one day off, i recomnd trying it on a weekend because you dont want to be sleep deprived when you go to work. Makes a lot of sense, jen ashton, thanks very much. Over to amy. We were taking n notes over here. Now to something many of us struggle with this time of year. Finds the perfect gift for someone special. It is hard. A story trending bi in the e wall street jojonalhohows how science canruly help us all. I love my wife but she sucks at giving gifts. Reporter many off us are garbage at gift giving. We are claire on modern family. I got nothing. Im so screwed. Reporter you dont have to be that person. Seasonal science is here to help. Psychologists and retail researchers actually spend time on this. Nuer one, give somhing of yoyoself. A book you love. A 2wi69 card to a restaurant you love. That is love. Meaning. Theyll think w well of you. Number two, less is more. Dont throw a little giftt i with a big one. Subconsciously the receiver will value late the avege cost and be underwhelmed. Number three, just give. Youll enjoy it and experiments toddlers show greater pleasure in giving than receiving. Someone who could use these tips, kayla moncurs husband. What did he get me . Its a paper shredder. He also got me a a wind up flashlig. Entire stocking full of hand warmers then there was this ridiculous hat that wee live in mesa, arizona, like the need for this kind of hat is just really limited. Ah. Nick, thank you for that of were joined by kla and aaron moncur from their home in warm, mesa, arizona. Here with us is Lori Bergamotto from Good Housekeeping magazine. Thanks for being with us. Thank you for having me. Lori, i want to start off with aaron and kaa, i understand, aaron, sorry, a lot of hate heaped on you there. You have kept one of the least successful gifts, lets call it that. W wt was the least s scessful gift . Yes, i underand you kept it . Oh, its the hat. Well, that depends who you ask. I guess kayla thinks so. Why did you choose the hat . Im going to defend you the. Ththere was a reason. Shes always cold and shes into fashion and you look at this hat and its just its beautiful. How could someone not like that. Extreme fashion. Beaeay in theye of the beholder, perhaps. Lori, what about the studies . Do you think they can help us be better gift givers . I love the idea ty studied the gift giving aspect from a scientific aspect and anything that helelps you give better gifts i am in favor of. Why is it so difficult. When you love someone and trying to give a gift the stakes are so high. You rlly want to show them i love you. Heres the reflection of how much i love you. But i think what matters more to someone is notot spending 500 on a gift, but spending more than ve minutes thinking about what to get. That rule youre not supposed to add the kicker gift to the big gi. From a personal perspective i dont agree with that so much but i think that all that matters is that the person feels like theyre gettingng an intangible memory of from this tangibible gift. All right, so not to set up aaron here because now weve just told everyone how to fe the perfect gift. Howid you doeyey. I understand you have a Christmas Gift that youre going to give it a little early right now. Thats right. Are we ready right now. Go for it. Good luck. Here, bring it out. Crossg her fingers. O on quickly. Lets do a closeup. Oh. Itsike lots of like body stuff. And it smells nice. Oo. Ochlto oo. I like a candle. Why did you pick that . What was your thinking . Well, shes been burning candles in the house lately and know she likes them so we walk past a Bath Body Works and i thought lets just get her a big gift basket of allhings scenty and nice. Think thas thoughtful. Yay. Good job, aaron. Nice effort. Yeah. And it is different how you buy for men and women. It really is and yourwife. It is and the things dont start looking just the week before the holiday, you know, you wantt to not look f a date the week beforore valentins day. Presents are nice. Being present is even better.
