And the war of words as other cities say it was a huge overreaction. Dropping the mic. What . Oh, thats the robber. The local reporter who helped crack the case and catch a bank robber. Ah, this is live tv, folks. How he got much more than just the story. And Something Like that, good morning, america. The main event lighting up the strip in las vegas last night. 1400 people packing the Venetian Hotel and casino last night. Donald trump said it felt more like the academy award. Likes having the gold around. He took tough hits from jeb bush, the most lively performance yet from governor bush, the big question, did it change his place in the race. Did anything change . You saw ted cruz and marco rubio go at it, as well, and were going to talk about this with there he is right there. Well begin, though, with abcs cecilia vega. She is in las vegas for all the action. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hey, george, good morning to you. Im still outside the Venetian Hotel. All eyes inside that hall last night on donald trump, the focus was on national security, but donald trump says he had the best debate so far. The gloves were off almost as soon as the opening bell rang. Run for president. Youre a tough guy, jeb. We need to have a leader that is real tough. Youll never be president of the United States by insulting your way to the presidency. Im at 42 and youre at 3. So far im doing better. Doesnt matter. Reporter it was donald trump versus jeb bush on how to fight isis. With jebs attitude we will never be great again. That i can tell you. Reporter and on that proposal thats controversial to ban muslims. Donald trump is great at the oneliners but hes a chaos candidate and would be a chaos president. Jeb doesnt really believe he said that very simply because he has failed in this campaign. Its been a total disaster. Nobody cares. Reporter there was donald trump versus rand paul. Is donald trump a serious candidate . The reason i ask this reporter but the biggest grudge match at all. He has a wonderful temper. Reporter trump versus the texas senator infringing on his frontrunner standings in the poll never happened. Instead, it was ted cruz versus marco rubio, both vying to be the partys alternative to the brash billionaire in the lead. Does ted cruz rule out ever legalizing people in this country illegally now. Senator cruz. I have never supported legalization. Do you rule it out . I have never supported legalization and i dont intend to. Because you know reporter some like dr. Ben carson struggling to break out of the pack. But the fact of the matter is, look and see what ive done. And that speaks volumes about strength. Reporter after it was all over. Mr. Trump, did jeb bush have no, he has to do what he has to do. I fully understand. Hes having a hard time and he wants to get his numbers up. Reporter well, jeb bush thought he had a good night too. This is the final, this was the final Republican Debate of 2015 and i can tell you there have been a lot of questions about whether trump might stage an independent run if he does not win this nomination. He said unequivocally last night he will not do that, robin, he says hes totally committed to the republican party. Well talk about that. Thank you, cecilia. To president george w. Bush and parties is here. So, the frontrunner, how did he do . Donald trump didnt damage there was engagements on this thing. This is the last debate before christmas and donald trump will go into Christmas Holidays into the new year as the dominant frontrunner. The interesting thing, like yes, virginia, there is a santa claus, yes, gop, donald trump may be your nominee. And you say that even more so now because of what trump said, the end of her reporting now hes saying, im not going to run as an independent. You read something into that. I thought it was a big tell at the end of it. Up to this time hes been leaning in i may or may not. He sees himself in the dominant place and sees himself as the winner of the gop nomination process. Thats why hes saying that. Ted cruz has been making some inroads and gaining some ground. How did he do . I thought he did fine. He had momentum coming in. He didnt do anything to push it forward so i think in that way he fell short of where he needed to go in this. I think he probably wins iowa but the problem for ted cruz is where does he win after iowa . So did anybody in your estimation break out . I thought the two breakout people were marco rubio, hes always good at these debate, probably won every single debate in the course of this and Chris Christie did some good contrasting to everybody else on stage. The problem is, can anybody take a place of donald trump in the course of this race and i think thats the question we dont know. You feel some will drop out by january. I think its going to go from team to a Basketball Team in january which is probably five or six people on stage. I knew you would give one of those analogies. George. Lets hear from bill oreilly right now from fox news also the author of the number one the New York Times bestseller, killing reagan. Welcome back. We heard matthew dowd right there. He didnt see anything that would take trump off the top right now. Do you agree . I dont think trump really changed his status. You like him before the debate youll like him after. You dont, same thing. I think ted cruz helped himself a little bit because he becomes the conservative alternative to trump. So if youre not a policy person, and youre conservative you would go with cruz. But he and rubio really went at it on national security. You think cruz got the better of that exchange. I dont know. You got to understand the folks are going on emotion this year and thats what its all about and people should understand that. Trump has blown the system up. All about emotion, so once you get into this micro policy business i think most folks tune out. The big question people are asking does it stay about emotion as the votes actually come . It does, it does until you get to the first voting. Iowa, new hampshire. I think itll carry into that. Because thats what trump is running on. Thats his whole campaign, emotion. He feels your pain and the country is angry. Jeb bush had his toughest attack yet on donald trump last night. Chaos candidate. Did he draw blood . No, because you could just read it in bushs face. How is this possibly happening . How can i, a candidate who knows and has run a state for eight years be losing to a donald trump, who speaks in generalities. But what jeb bush has never understood is this is a different time. Americans are furious on both sides, but primarily on the right and if you dont feel that anger, if you dont feel it youre going to lose. If he doesnt make a move in the next few weeks in the polls you think he gets out before the votes. He can stay in. You got super tuesday. I dont think hell get out before that. Ben carson has been falling. Carson didnt help himself last night and it all started on my show when we had this big Foreign Policy debate and he didnt really know about the terrorism and the components thereof. Once that had gone out he started to descend and cruz picked up most of his support. Almost all of his votes. Yes. In iowa especially so look, taking a step back with a lot of emotion and anger against washington, can donald trump actually get the nomination. Sure, he could. Sure, he could. Hes look, the folks are going to vote and the votes count. Now, the republican establishment dont want him and they dont like him but as i said trump is blowing up the system. That debate last night, nobody really won or lost, theres too many people on the stage but how who goes, hey, i got 42, you got 3, youre an i idiot. How can you debate that . How, how . And i think his pledge again last night to stay as a republican, not to run as an independent got to be a sign of confidence that he thinks he can get the nomination. Look, trump doesnt want to alienate all republicans, but ill tell you what, the guy is formidable and in this age of anger, people got you cant say, oh, hes not going to get it. He could very well get it. If he starts to win will there be a brokered convention. I dont know anything about that. Thats your job. Broker convention. All i know people will vote on emotion this year. Almost like what reagan did with carter. Its almost exactly the same. Carter screwed things up so badly and americans were so angry in 1980 that they voted out of emotion. Its the same thing now. And, you know, history might repeat itself. Bill oreilly, thanks for coming in this morning. Next debate democrats will be there on saturday night. Martha raddatz and david muir will moderate that and youll see it right here on abc at 8 00 all right, george, we appreciate bill oreilly being in the studio with us this morning. Now to that scary moment on that southwest jet in nashville rolling off the runway and into a ditch after a rough landing. This comes as millions of americans are gearing up, of course, for holiday travel. Abcs alex perez is in nashville with the latest. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, robin. That plane has been moved. You can see its still on the tarmac. Passengers say they knew something went terribly wrong just seconds after landing. Overnight, a frightening moment for 133 passengers aboard this boeing 737. Terrifying to feel it bounce up and down. Reporter from houston bound for nashville making a rough landing at Nashville International airport at 5 20 p. M. Just as passengers thought they were safe, the plane rolling off the runway into a ditch. Emergency crews and ambulances immediately called to the scene to grab bags from the overhead bins before evacuating down the jetliners emergency chute. They made sure there was no fire, explosion or anything and made sure everyone was able to get off quickly. Reporter eight passengers rushed to the hospital and later released with minor injuries. Both the nose of the plane and its side suffering damage. And the faa is still working to pinpoint what exactly triggered all this including the possibility that the plane blew a tire or was having problems with its landing gear. George. Okay, alex, thanks. We turn to that Terror Threat that shut down schools in l. A. Yesterday causing chaos for hundreds of thousands of families. New york got a similar threat decided to ignore it and that ignited a war of words between the two big cities. Abcs matt gutman is in los angeles with the latest. Good morning, matt. Reporter l almost 15 plus school facilities. That email threat contained a reference to the San Bernardino attack. New york city got almost the exact same note but dismissed it as a hoax. L. A. Standing by its decision, one that cost it 30 million and a lot of criticism. That threat warning of a swarm of jihadists descending on los angeles schools came in an email to an l. A. School board member at 5 00 a. M. Tuesday. What followed, a swift decision, 90 minutes later to close every one of the citys schools. We have suffered far too many School Shootings in america to ignore these kind of threats. Reporter the cost an estimated 29 million, about 650,000 students shut out. The superintendent has directed all schools to be closed today, tuesday, december 15th, to ensure the safety of all students. Eporter parents left scrambling. Had to take the day off work, yes. Reporter were your employers understanding . Hopefully. Reporter new york city decided to keep schools open. New yorks Police Commissioner blasting l. A. s decision. To disrupt the daily schedules of 500,000 based on an anonymous email, i think, it was a significant reporter the first tipoff for new york police was that the alleged threat seemed remarkably similar to the plot line of the tv series homeland. The instigator of the threat may be a homeland fan watching homeland episodes that it mirrors a lot of recent episodes. Reporter the police said the message sent to new york read in part Something Big is going down. Not only are there bombs, but there are nerve gas agents set to go off at a specific time during lunch hour. It was so generic, so outlandish and posed to numerous School Systems simultaneously. Conspicuous typo, me and my 138 comrades will die tomorrow in the name of allah with a lowercase a in a new york version. Incredible to think any jihadist would not spell allah with a capital a. Reporter all schools will be open today and because people were rattled by yesterday, there will be Uniformed Police standing outside schools like this and crisis counselors. That hoax is a very real flop any. The perpetrator could face up to 20 years in prison. George. They should get it. Okay, matt, thanks very much. To amy with the other top stories. That deadly crash of a medical helicopter in phoenix. Thats right. Medical helicopter has crashed in rugged terrain east of phoenix killing two people and injuring a third. The chopper similar to this one was carrying a paramedic and nurse. No word yet on what caused the crash but last week four people died when a medical helicopter crashed in california.

It would extend a series of business tax breaks and would also extend Health Benefits for 9 11 First Responders and that deal would lift the 40year ban on oil exports. Well, a suspected bank robber in minnesota was not expecting this. He returned to the crime scene but didnt realize the local news station was broadcasting live. He was approaching the bank just as the reporter began his live shot, take a look. Tyler just 24 hours ago this bank in that guy right there. What . Thats the robber. Oh, thats the robber. Thats the robber just went by. According to the bank employee, so i got to go here and call 911. Ill talk to you later. And guess what, he did just that. He called 911. The man was arrested a short time later as Police Responded but you can just see his brain should i go back to my script or react here as a human being and he decided to be a human being and ditch he had that smile saying this is the best thing that ever happened to me. Right, he knew. He did know, thanks, amy. To your money right now for the first time in nearly a decade the Federal Reserve expected to raise Interest Rates.

I dont know i never met the guy whaaaaa he does exist they do exist i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil 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. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. 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 its right for you. When neil lane creates a ring for todays biggest stars. It looks fabulous from every angle. And for kay jewelers. He does the exact. Same. Thing.

This is a serious attack. It certainly is, mara. We turn to the story of one district after the tragic death of their 13yearold daughter. She killed herself after merciless bullying and her family blames the school for doing little to stop it. Linsey davis has the story. Reporter the family of 13yearold emilie olsen says she took her own life. After being tormented by bullies. They called her names and tried to trip her. I want to know the truth. To me the truth has no agenda. It is what it is. And my daughter deserves that. Reporter now one year after her death, theyre filing a federal lawsuit accusing the fairfield Ohio School District of knowing that olsen seen here in her yearbook photo was bullied and did very little to stop it. In the lawsuit her parents say that before her death they were dismissed when they reached out to the school on several occasions for help. Also citing numerous examples of bullying claiming one sixth grader handed emilie a razor and told her to end her life. The lawsuit also describes derogatory restroom graffiti about the teen they say was shown to the school but wasnt died. Can we talk with you . Not on camera. Reporter fairfield city schools tells abc news the district will be defending the litigation and will be providing appropriate responses in the course of the litigation. A School Resource officer reviewed this Surveillance Video from inside emilies school the day she took her life and said he saw nothing out of the ordinary. But according to a police report, in an interview with her parents, emilie had been suffering from depression, had a history of cutting her arms and legs and her father suspected she had regularly been consuming alcohol. Less than two weeks before her death in a Facebook Exchange with a friend, emilie wrote, im a freak and im tired of it. Ive made up my mind, i wanna die. For Good Morning America, linsey davis, abc news, new york. Such a sad story. Lets talk to dan abrams about this right now. Theres going to be a lot of factual questions at the heart of this lawsuit. Maybe most importantly did the School District know about put her back into classes with the bullies that theyd reported about. So thats a critical question. A clear law in ohio, antibullying law that requires School Districts to take action. The superintendent actually wrote a letter to the School Community saying, that he didnt think bullying had to do with it so theres going to be key factual disputes. Thats ohio law, but the twist is this is a federal lawsuit. So she is saying that the reason she was bullied was basede, national origin, sexual preferences, shes saying these were the reasons she was bullied and thats why theyre filing this in federal court so theres going to be an antidiscrimination question here, as well. Tough questions to answer. Okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. Well all be watching that dan. Coming up next many talking about that possible Interest Rate hike expected today.

Back now with that big headline about your money, the Federal Reserve expected to hike Interest Rates this afternoon. Shark tanks Barbara Corcoran, kevin oleary, back now answering your questions about how it could impact your familys budget and we want to get right to the first viewer question. You got it. My name is sally murphy. I would like to know, i have an a. R. M. With my mortgage. How soon do you think i need to lock that in . You know, sally, it costs money to lock in a mortgage rate. Usually sometimes zero but more often 1 . So you have to compare what thats going to cost you to the forecast that Interest Rates will go up about 1 in the next year. Typically you should jump right in there and do it most cases. What do you say about these adjustable rates . He disagrees. Very, very dangerous because people have gotten used to the fact that Interest Rates have been perpetually low for ten years. Now thats changing. Better to lock in, pay the 75 or 1 barbara is talking about and go to sleep at night knowing the cost of your mortgage wont change if the fed hikes again early next year. I just like peace of mind. Thats what its all about. You think thats worth money. Yes, absolutely. All right. Lets get to our next viewer question. Take a look. I recently got a new car and i was wondering if the Interest Rate goes up, what will happen to my loan . Ladies, first. You dont have to worry the least bit about your car loan because its a fixed rate for a fixed period of time. So, just forget about it. You got the car loan, enjoy the ride. Kevin, this is also credit cards, right . You have to look at your entire portfolio. Things you owe money to. Mortgage rates will go up as the credit card costs will go up. Any variable cost debt, not everybody has a fixed rate auto loan so theyll pay more. I think the key is here now that you know the world is changing, lock down your costs. Fix everything and go to bed at night feeling that youve got control of your Financial Life and, by the way, start paying off those credit cards by not buying that expensive coffee. Dont buy that bagel in a store. Dont buy those shoes. Dont buy that other dress. Pay off the mortgage. Pay off the credit cards. Pay off the loans. Time to bring debt down. Very good advice. Very sound advice, barbara, i see youre nodding. I cant believe i have to agree with him. The only thing he should be worried about is his marriage. It doesnt look so good and barbara. I have to throw something at you to make you upset. We have had so many viewers concerned about this potential hike. Should we be scared . Just real quick. Doesnt pay to get scared. Figure out what the Interest Rate is now. What it might be and get over it. Weve run out of time. We adore you, thank you, barbara, we thank you. George and robin, we send it back to you. Good advice, lock down those costs right there. Coming up here who will rule the galaxy, star wars aims for avatars record. Big battle of the blockbusters is next. Big battle of the blockbusters is next. You there. Stormtroopers halt turn here. Go go follow them bb8 beep, beep this way whered they go .

I never thought this would happen to me. If you had chickenpox, the shingles virus is already inside you. 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. Im going to go back to the eye doctor tomorrow. Its pretty close to my eye. I dont know how you do it. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today with the pain and swelling of my moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. Ordinary objects often seemed. Intimidating. Doing something simple. Meant enduring a lot of pain. If ra is changing your view of everyday things orencia may help. Orencia works differently by targeting a source of ra early in the inflammation process. For many, orencia provides longterm relief of ra symptoms. Its helped new ra patients and those not helped enough by other treatments. Do not take orencia with another biologic medicine for ra due to an increased risk of serious infection. Serious side effects can occur including fatal infections. Cases of lymphoma and lung cancer have been reported. Tell your doctor if youre prone to or have any infection like an open sore, the flu, or a history of copd, a chronic lung disease. Orencia may worsen your copd. If youre not getting the relief you need. Ask your doctor about orencia. See your ra all right, welcome back, everybody. You can tell from the music its about star wars. The wait is almost over. So will the force awaken, be the Biggest Box Office hit ever. Abcs nick watt has that. Reporter positive premiere and 100 million in advanced ticket sales are prompting some pretty prodigious predictions. Star wars has the potential to surpass avatar. But what that requires is repeat viewing and what we saw with both avatar and titanic people kept going back to the theater multiple times after they saw it. Nothing will stand in our way. Reporter avatar is still the highest grossing movie of all time raking in 2. 7 billion, but the force awakens, some say, might be the first to top the mythical 3 billion jedis versus the blue guys. This is our land. Reporter avatar released december 18th, 2009. The force awakens also december 18, six years later. Both take place not on our planet. Both have rabid fans, some people actually speak navi. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] reporter jedi is now quasireligion. Did you think the first Star Wars Film was going to be a flop. Yeah, everybody did. Why . The studio hated it. I had no idea that it worked. Reporter now here we are episode 7. Chewie, were home. The wall street analysts say if it doesnt gross 1. 5 billion it will be a disappointment. The question is it going to leapfrog 2 billion and even approach 3 billion which would make it the highest grossing film of all time. Release and so is Star Wars Episode 8, which will go headtohead. For abc news, nick watt, los angeles. This side of the couch without giving anything away, ginger speaks fluent wookie. [ making wookie noises ] a lot of people want to see the movie.

Right now were going to get the latest on that devastating defeat for Kelly Rutherford in that bitter custody battle. A judge ruled she can only visit her kids in monaco or france. But rutherford is not done fighting. Lots of luck, kelly. Thank you. Reporter Kelly Rutherford has been banned from bringing her kids home to the United States. Its a crushing blow in her highly publicized sixyear globespanning custody battle for her two children with exhusband Daniel Giersch whos lived with their children in monaco and france since 2012. According to court documents, a habitual residence of the minor children is fixed at the residence of giersch while rutherford can visit her children exclusively in france and monaco. No words at this moment. Reporter in august a new york judge ruled the children be returned to her father after court order to send them back to europe as part of a custody agreement. We spoke to her just days after. This was the first five weeks ive had with my kids straight reporter rutherford and her lawyer maintained that the children were only supposed to their father worked to acquire a for three years he did nothing. He violated his agreement. No American Court seems to give a damn. Rutherford and her attorneys say courts in both california and new york where she lived with the children have relinquished jurisdiction to courts in monaco, and dan abrams is back right now. Youve been following this case for years. Is this it . Shes going to appeal in monaco but shes got an uphill battle. Dont blame monaco on this. This is really californias fault. 2011, 2012, 2013 they said well because his visa was revoked. We want him to have access to the kids. They say, dont worry. Were retaining jurisdiction here. Were going to put all sorts of rules and regulations about whats going to happen. He will have to try to get a visa to come back here and then its all going to happen back in the United States. A couple years later they go back to california. Kelly rutherford says hes not following the rules and you said you had jurisdiction. California court says, you know what, kids dont live here anymore. You dont live here anymore. The father doesnt live here anymore so that was perfectly predictable. California courts set this up, so, so the bottom line is dont blame monaco because for monacos perspective, the kids had been living there for two or three years. But did anything she did make it worse for her . Well, yeah, theres no question that the monaco court is using against her the fact to the United States, she to send them back. Why . New york court doesnt have jurisdiction and the California Court doesnt have jurisdiction, im going to keep the kids here. Hauled her into court and showed up with the kids nearby and she sent the kids back. This is the whole claim she kidnapped the kids. She made an announcement that she was reluctant to send the kids back. A court says send the kids back. She sends the kids back and now it seems they may never be able to come back until they are adults. And the children are so much older now. They know whats going on. Absolutely and that fundamentally changes things in cases like this. Thanks, dan. Another big story weve been following about to play out in court. That High School Football coach suspended for praying on the field after games. Hes going on the offense filing a discrimination complaint against the School District and speaking out this morning. Juju chang is here with that. Good morning, juju. Reporter good morning, robin. You know, its the case of the praying football coach who would take a knee in silent prayer after games now sparking a passionate debate between those who say he repeatedly defied School Policy and those who believe, as he does, that its a and freedom of religion. This morning, a postgame ritual amen. Amen. Amen [ cheers and applause ] reporter turning into a legal battle. High School Football coach joe kennedy filing a complaint against bremerton School District for religious discrimination after he was suspended for leading players in prayer. I had to hide and no one could see me and its just not right. Reporter the tradition starting in 2008. It started out with just three guys and it just started growing from there. Reporter but the prayers coming under fire in october. The district telling kennedy he had to stop saying, talks with students may not include religious expression, including prayer. And that to do so would violate the law. Still, kennedy stood his ground. Its just giving thanks. Reporter refusing to give up the meetings on the 50 yard line claiming he had every right to practice his faith and never required his athletes to pray. When he decided that that was enough was enough hes got to stand up somewhere, they said, thats pretty ridiculous. Reporter now kennedy is out of a job. His lawyer, mike berry from the liberty institute, filing a complaint with the equal Employment Opportunity commission saying the district violated his religious rights but the School District telling abc news overnight it received no official notification of any complaint. Now, the school does say even when they do receive the coachs complaint they cant comment on discrimination cases, but an eeoc complaint is reportedly seen as a last step on the way to a fullblown lawsuit against the school. And, again, you pointed out in the piece and theres a good point here, he didnt force the players to pray but there is this thought, okay, the coach does something, youre going to fall into line but he didnt force them. He didnt force them to do it. Well, look, hes allowed to pray, right. Hes allowed to do whatever he so chooses. The question is, is he as part of a schoolsponsored event effectively encouraging beyond just encouraging, almost pressuring the kids to engage in what is defined as prayer . Question. Okay. Lets go outside to amy. All right, guys. It is time now for our ultimate christmas buyers guide. All week long weve been taking a look at some of the hottest gifts from headphones to adult onesies and becky youve been our gal throughout it all. Something almost as comfortable, cashmere sweaters. Theyre often thought of as too expensive, so how can you get them for almost ten times less than what youre thinking . Abcs becky worley has the answer. Yes. Cashmere. Doesnt it just make you purr . It does. Its one of the most searched gift items on google, and its really something that screams out luxury, doesnt it . Inexpensive cashmere is a reality. On the flip side there are also insanely expensive sweaters, some over a thousand dollars. So, if you give the budget item will anyone know what you really paid for it . Cashmere, yum. One of the top gifts of this Holiday Season and the sales, 79 at bloomingdales. 59 at macys and 49 at uniqlo but despite the lower prices, its increasingly confusing to buy. Why . Well, this cashmere turtleneck cost 69. This nearly identical one, 640. And this, again, white cashmere turtleneck, 1230. What . Is it that much better . To help me unravel this mystery, i head to the Fashion Institute of technology. Well, cashmere is a type of wool that comes from a very specific goat called the cashmere goat found in mongolia and northern china. Reporter prices for raw cashmere have gone down 12 this year alone, but textile manufacturers pay more for grade a cashmere. Its just softer. Cashmere can go from anywhere from 50 a pound down to 40 a pound. Reporter so, heres a tip. Even though the label reads 100 cashmere, it will never tell you the grade, and thats where tip two, feel before you buy. And tip three, shawn says more weight usually means higher quality, yet another reason to feel it, so a little test. We had a producer go out and buy three different sweaters at three different price points. Neither you nor i know which sweater is which, so were going to play a little guessing game, okay. This one is definitely scratchier. This garment feels the heaviest out of all of the garments. I honestly cant tell the difference between these two. Reporter in the end we both get it wrong. Shawns not surprised. He says you pay for brand and design. So there are plenty of budget cashmere options that will still feel like a luxury gift. Okay, with the big reveal here, we have those same three sweaters. Now, im going to have you try to test by feel which one cost 79, 140 and 795. I mean i was feeling these during are my guesses. All right. Why do you think that . Because i thought it was very soft, and i thought this design right here, i just if i bought it in the color, i thought it looked more like an 800. You beat our professor at the Fashion Institute of technology and me. This is our 79 sweater, which i think is incredibly lux and rich. This one is like thinner and sleeker and so i thought it was maybe more expensive. Oh, interesting. Yeah, it is thinner. A lot like ive shopped for cashmere. You picked it up. You really saw that design element. Its the design that gives it away, isnt it . What about wearability like durability. What, does the quality decrease over time if you pay less . This sweater i bought three years ago almost to the day for 59. Oh, my goodness. Ive worn it a ton. Have you had to cut the pilling off . No, and i have a really expensive one i bought on the same day, exactly the same wear and tear. I found holes in my expensive ones too so thats good to know. And this looks beautiful and feels great. My question, is that 650 more in value than this . Yeah, i think we all know the answer to that. All right, becky. What do you think, ginger . Im impressed with your knowledge, of your cashmere knowledge. I dont think id do as well. We have to say hello to sue and jim and we have to check off part of their bucket list. We did it, sue and jim. Welcome to gma. And if youre anyone heading to the pacific northwest, you know youve been hit with storm after storm.

That it could have gone either way. I could have i could have played the dusty role, but i didnt want mark to feel intimidated. Right. And because he has selfimage, you know, his ego is very fragile. Very fragile, so i thought id take the more conservative role. All right. Yeah, just let him shine. Youre just a giver. You know.

You recently threw on your onesie, obviously and hit the streets with him to torture new yorkers with christmas trivia. And shot on a 98degree day in the middle of july, so that little onesie im wearing is just filled with sweat. Oh. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

All right, ginger, thanks so much. Well, star wars the force awakens has been praised for some of its casting decisions including its Strong Female lead, but there is also a powerful woman on the dark side, and juju chang sat down with Gwendoline Christie. Reporter in game of thrones shes the fierce woman warrior, brienne of tarth. But in star wars the force awakens, Gwendoline Christie is captain phasma, a rare female villain in the evil empire. Whats it like channeling your dark side . It was really exciting for me to have a change and to investigate a totally different psychological format. I know that the character captain phasma was originally a male. I found this out recently, yes. And im particularly enthusiastic that there is a phasma who we relate to as a character primarily rather than the way that she looks. Lets talk about brienne. For a moment, the idea that little girls can see a female knight in shining armor really says something. I think its time and its great to see them in stories that we can all watch. Reporter she fell in love with star wars as a kid, but its the 63 grown woman who actively campaigned for the role. Theres a lot of speculation, like, oh, she wears her marv the whole time. We barely get to see her face. I can tell you that captain phasma is the captain of the stormtroopers. She is a member of the first order and part of the dark side. Its very scary coming from you. Its frightening, isnt it . Youre just going to have to watch the film, and im going to say, its worth the wait. Thats what we call a tease have i just teased you, juju . I believe you have. I believe you have. Reporter for Good Morning America, juju chang, abc news, new york. Worth the wait, indeed. Star wars the force awakens hits theaters friday. And coming up next here on gma, why coloring books for thats next. Impressed. We have some budding artists out here. All of these people are taking part in one of the top trends of 2015, coloring for grownups.

Its something new, and i think its a great gift. Oh, my gosh. Over here . Over here, over here, over here. Will ferrell has got a coloring party going on here, and look whos coloring with us, will. And he knows hes going to keep it clean because his mom kay is here. Also psychiatrist dr. Janet taylor, and the reason that were doing this you see how quiet they got. Ive never seen them so quiet. Theyre focused. There is something behind it. What is it . Its the activity. When you bring your attention to something it not only simulates the mind and the brain lights up but it can also induce a relax response, hence, the quietness and the focus which is what we need in this busy world. Its the focus. Can you keep it down . Was he always like this as a kid . Was he always like this as a child . But the point is, you know, when youre stressed you can find activities and going to it mindfully and sometimes quietly and there is something scientific about it, too. Theres a part of our brain that is really stimulated by this. It is and that part is right here. The hypothalamus adrenal access which is a long word but basically thats where stress enters the brain and thats what can induce a relaxation response. Its intentional and shows that we have control over our actions and behaviors and intentionally we know when we need a break and coloring, repetitive activities are a great way to do that. Even if its competitive coloring with six people . The key is not competition. Its being there. In the moment. Its not about mastering the skill. When you knit or garden or Something Like that its not about performance, its about process. Yeah, amy. And bringing your attention wait a minute. For all you competitive people down there. But i mean you guys are really into this . Yes. I love it. I love it. I would do this. Can i bring this to the hospital to try to do during labor . That would work it out, but is this something that you would say, hey, why not . Give it a shot. I mean, you know, people say is it therapy . But its therapeutic and, again, its about knowing what you need to do and finding those activities, whether its going for a walk, its mindful breathing, its drumming. It helps, and it has a specific aspect of the brain that it correlates too. Okay, would you like pencils down. Would you like to show your work to america . Would you like to show not really.

Before we get there, we have to get through the holidays. This year when you think about celebration and new years eve for me, i think about like really amazing food, particularly these like little petite filet mignons. Lets get started. Lets do it. So, in a saucepan, what well do is start and make the red wine sauce, shallots and garlic and a little bit of herbs. Im using fresh rosemary. Once this sort of cooks, well just add some red wine and let it reduce. Its going to evaporate and concentrate in flavor and thats what we have right here. See, once we have the evaporation now well adjust a little bit. This is a reduced beef stock, demiglace is another name for it, our filets. Got to season them. One of my favorite steaks ive ever had in vegas. Salt, pepper, then you got to have a little bit of my essence. I said this the other day. Essence. I said this the other day to you, essence, what . Maybe now i know. Maybe that was the baby . That was the baby. The babys got a lot to learn. Pan sauteing that and basically, ginger, for me, 125 degrees internal temperature is a good medium rare. Okay, so thats basically what we have right here. Medium rare then what well do. We take a slice of the Maitre D Hotel Butter on top. That red wine sauce that we reduced right on top of that. Special. And then to go with it, in celebration of new years eve, green beans almondine, mashed country potatoes and i made this for you, mac and cheese. Dont leave me alone.
