The other big story, the Republican Debate in wisconsin, the candidates facing off on the economy and immigration and abcs tom llamas was there for it all. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. The debate stage was smaller but there were still some big fights. No personal attacks this time. The disputes were over positions and it was a big night for senators cruz and rubio and jeb bush showing more energy. Overnight, the republicans battling to be president making their case on the economy and national defense. A debate more policy marco, marco, how is it conservative reporter but some pumps. How is it conservative to add a trillion dollars in military expenditures . We cant even have an economy if were not safe. There are radical jihadists beheading people and crucifying christians. A radical cleric trying to get a new weapon. Taking over the south china sea, safer i dont believe, i know that the world is safer and better place when america is the Strongest Military power in the world. Reporter all of the irs. There are more words in the bible. And not a one of them is as reporter and dr. Ben carson, a leading candidate, slamming the News Coverage of alleged discrepancies in his life story. Vetted. What i do have a problem with is being lied about. Reporter on the economy, the retired neurosurgeon appearing to change his position on raising the minimum wage. I would not raise it. Reporter but back in may carson favored increasing it. I asked him about the change. So just to be clear are you in favor of raising the minimum wage or youre not in favor of it. I personally am not in favor of it but im in favor of having the discussion because i believe that the way you do something in a Pluralistic Society is you put it out in the open so that everybody understands whats going on. Reporter donald trump at one point playing referee criticizing Carly Fiorina for cutting people off. Why does she keep interrupting everybody . Yeah. Reporter and fighting for jeb bush to get a chance to speak. Governor you should let jeb speak. Thank you, donald, for allowing me to speak at the debate. Thats really nice of you. I really appreciate that. What a generous man you are. Reporter but later bush clashed with trump over immigration refusing to support mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. Its just not possible. And its not embracing american values. And it would tear communities apart. And it would send a signal that were not the kind of country that i know america is. Reporter what we didnt see last night, not a single candidate not even donald trump who was talking tough on the campaign trail going after dr. Ben carson and so many people were talking about the bush rubio rematch, that never happened. The next debate five weeks away. George. Thanks, tom and one of the candidates, senator marco rubio joins us now. Some more good reviews for you, senator, last night. You stayed out of that debate between jeb bush, john kasich and donald trump over immigration and trumps mass deportation plan. Kasich called it silly, not adult. Is he right . Well, first of all, pie position on it is well stated and that is we have to deal with immigration in three steps. We cant do it all at once. Tried to in 2013 and the American People dont trust the federal government so we have to begin by proving to people that ilLegal Immigration numbers are down significantly. The second step would be to modernize our Legal Immigration system so its merit based and after those two things we have to responsibly but realistically deal with people here illegally and as i said if youre a criminal, havent been here very long you cant stay. For everyone else youd have to pass a background check, learn english, spay a fine and start paying taxes and youll get a work permit for ten years. Thats my position. Its been well stated for a long time and i think its the only way forward on immigration at this point. A lot think ted cruz could be your toughest opposition. He seemed to send a shot across your bow taking on the issue of sugar subsidies of the yous gotten a lot of money from them in the past. Thats drawn criticism. Rubio and big sure. Your sugar high is a new low a betrayal of conservative principles. How do you respond gentleman. Im prepared to get rid of the sugar program. Every country in the world that has one has a subsidy and when they get rid of their, im prepared to get rid of theirs. You know thats not going to happen, though. But im not going to wipe out an american industry that happens to have a lot of workers in florida by unilaterally disarming them. It has to be fair. They have huge advantages. They dont have an epa or labor we could just even the field, if they if other countries that were competing against get rid of their programs ill be the first one working to get rid of ours but im not going to destroy an american industry that employs people in my state. There was a moment off mike during one of the commercial breaks, you headed over to governor bush, jeb bush and just seemed to ice you. What happened there . Oh, someone showed moo he that video last night. We were fine. Look, were running for president of the United States and so but i dont take any of it personal. There was nothing behind it. I know it makes for an interesting vine video but it wasnt anything of meaning. Senator rubio, thanks for joining us this morning. Thank you. Thanks very much. All right, george, thank you. Abcs chief business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis, you can see is here Fact Checking a couple of big moments from the two frontrunners and, rebecca ex at one point rand paul called out donald trump about a big trade deal. Who is right . This was a really important question last night. Robin, it was about why donald trump is opposed to the tpp trade deal and listen to what he says about china and how the other candidates respond. Almost everybody takes advantage of the United States, china in particular because theyre so good. Its the number one abuser of this country. We are losing jobs like nobodys ever lost jobs before. I want to bring jobs back into this country. Hey, gerard, we might want to point out china is not part of this deal. True. Its true. Thats right. Thats right. So you have kasich and paul, theyre correct on this. China is not part of the trade deal. 12 countries are including japan and australia as well as the United States and whats interesting here, military strategists actually think whats vital to this deal is the part that economically speaking china is not a part of the deal and actually think the fact that china is out is it a big reason for the deals success. We see all the countries that are. All of them right here. Not china. Not china. The debate began talking about minimum wage. They had protesters outside there in milwaukee and the candidates were asked about that and ben carson had Something Interesting to say about minimum wage. Every time we raise the mimg wage, the number of jobless people increases. So is he right . So i talked to a number of economists on this. Theyre deeply divided on this question. Not all of the time is there job loss when there are wage hike, however, there can be job loss associated with wage hikes and the university of chicago did a study of the 42 Top Economists in the country, they asked what would happen if the wages were increased, the minimum wage to 15. 40 undied. Between the remaining 60 , they were totally split. So between the remaining 60 . Totally split yes and no. Rebecca, thank you very much. George. Thank you, guys, lets brake it down with jon karl, matthew dowd, are here. Jon, a lot of substance. Not too many fireworks. Did it change anything. Not really. Rubio seemed to be the winner, not a huge win for him. Had an assist from rand paul when challenged on Foreign Policy. Good for ted cruz. Jeb bush had his best bedate so far but not enough cho thank the dynamic. Overall it doesnt change the dynamic. You still have trump and carson doing nothing to move them from their frontrunner status. George, we are almost at halftime when it comes to debates. Four debates. Four debates where donald trump has been the frontrunner. He has not been significantly challenged. He has not stumbled and that means another win ultimately for donald trump. Fiveweek gap until the next debate. I actually think this is starting to come into line like the College Football playoffs where were basically coming down to four candidates that are left in the race, trump, carson, rubio and cruz and i think if we had another debate where rubio and cruz did very well, if these were stocks, after this debate if these folks were stocks id put a hold on carson and trump because i think theres still some things missing there and put a buy on cruz and rubio and id pull a sell on jeb bush. Pretty low right now. I would get out as soon as you can because his 6 or 7 is not going up after the debate. He did better but not good enough to leap over. Matthew dowd, jon karl, thanks very much. Later ill head to washington for an exclusive interview with president obama and well bring you that on friday. To you to that fiery plane crash in ohio. A small jet going down in a residential area killing at least two people on board. Abcs david kerley is on the scene for us in akron this morning. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. This morning crash investigators and may Mass Casualty Team will be here where that small jet crashed. We have con fired that two have been killed but authorities are unable to confirm what the jets owner and family members are saying that there were nine people on board this small jet. Theres some sort of explosion on mogadore road. Reporter this is what they found. Two homes ablaze and the remnants of a business jet. Than answers as to why a plane plunged into a residential neighborhood. We have a plane into a house. Heavy fire. We have a lot of wires down. Reporter the small jet a hawker 25 can carry up to ten passengers, it was en route from dayton to akron but just more than a mile from its destination the jet goes down, authorities have not confirmed how many were flying on the aircraft. They do say they dont expect to find any survivors. At least two confirmed dead. The pilot and copilot. Witnesses say the jet appeared to be having trouble before crashing. Have you found the plane . Yeah, i believe the plane its in the brush. Reporter the shock and horror of the crash captured in this womans face who says she was video chatting at the time. Oh, my god. Reporter you dont think a plane would drop in a residential area like this. This is crazy. Reporter Beth Montgomery is one of the residents. These anormally home every day but on tuesdays she has lunch if i dont meet my son on tuesdays, i would have been there. Reporter despite the devastation, shes counting her blessings. I have my life and that is most important. Reporter this morning, a new jersey woman who is driven to ohio says her sister was one of the passengers on board. Between the siblings we started doing some detective work and made some calls and checked some flight plans and kind of put two and two together that it was her. Learned there was no mayday call. There was no distress call. And there are only questions this morning, what actually happened to this jet less than two miles from the airport. Why did it go down . Robin and george. A lot of questions still coming. Thanks. We turn to the first blizzard of the season hitting the mountains hard. Snow falling in denver right now and the storm is on the move.

Gio, whats the challenge . Supply think you all are afraid of heights. Youre not joining me but were going to take a look at a phone that claims to have the first shatter shatterproof shatterproofscreen, the droid turbo 2 by motorola. The company says its designed to survive those times when we drop our phone by accident on the street there or the sidewalk. They say it wont shatter after a fall from five feet so well try it out right now. Phones to try it out. Weve got motorola standing by right now to watch it happen so here we go. On the count of three, guys, well drop it from five feet. Three, two, one. Ah. Ouch. What do we got . It worked. Its still good. Adrienne from motorola right here smiling feeling good. Feeling optimistic. I never had a doubt. Youre not coming down yet, are you . Im not. Lets go higher, guys. Lets go up. Well go up. Motorola does not guarantee this. It only says the screen is shatterproof for drops up to five feet. Were going to go up to ten feet now, so lets get the audience to put on those safety goggles just in case. Here we go. Were going to drop count with me. Three, two, one. Oh. Here we go. What do we got . We have a perfectly good phone, everybody. Thats what we got. Wow it works. How about that . Were you a little nervous. No, not at all. When you test it do you take it to Greater Heights . Sfwle we put it through a lot of extreme testing and theres five layers of Screen Technology in there that is guaranteed not to shatter. Im going to tell you right now you need to get a phone like this. Ive seen your phone. Its a mess. It truly is a mess. Its not actually glass. No. No. Its not. Its actually a flexible display. Like a plexiglas. Well, its top secret technology but its really truly flexible so michael could fumble this and i never fumble. Great job, gio. Thank you. You passed the test and now were going to take it back inside to amy. We have another test here in our series. Gma body proud with model and body activist Ashley Graham. This morning we are challenging the notion of what it means to be healthy by putting two models to a health test. Theyre the same age, almost exactly the same height but with one important twist. They are top models who behind every day in photos and on the catwalk. But we want to know is the size 2 as healthy as a size 14 . Well find out by putting them through fitness tests. First up Ashley Graham, age 28. Stands tall at 59 and wears a size. 14. No history of diabetes or Heart Disease and exercises regularly. I do all kinds of cardio and weight lifting. I do classes. Reporter and abeba davis, size 510 and is a size 2. Has diabetes in her family and exercise, not so much. I walk my dog a lot. Walking counts. The two start their exam with our own dr. Jennifer ashton. Well do some basic height, weight, check some basic blood work thats kind of like the barometer of overall health. Diabetes screen, a nonfasting Cholesterol Panel and then just kind of see where you are. Good. Perfect. Questions . No, take my blood. Okay. Next up, abeba. Do you think youre in good shape. No. I think physically ive been blessed genetically. Dont be nervous. But thats not all. Our models head to crunch for a fitness test. I heard youre going to put me through hard core regimen. Yes, well get an assessment as well as a fit test on the treadmill. Lets go. Well get you five minutes of max. Were going to go ahead and do an overhead squat assessment.

We want to thank Quest Diagnostics for running these and put you on the treadmill and did a fitness test both passed pretty well. You are 28 but i want to be clear. Weight is relevant. Its one thing that we look at. We want to assess that today. You both did great and also want to assess it down the road in the few fracture. Thats why living a Healthy Lifestyle is so important. What do you make of those . Im not surprised. Its clear this is a very Healthy Woman right here. I love it. Yes, you are. You started at the very beginning of your day, what do you do each and every morning. I hike to start with hot water and lemon and do its alkalines my body but i have agreen juice.

She wrote on this paper, you cant read it, i cant answer this problem because my mom says according to girl code, you shouldnt date a friends exboyfriend. That is great. I love it.

I dont have the stomach to watch him walk away again. Maybe we go about this a little less officially. The director said you said i dont want a movie star part. I want to get in. What i saw you did exactly that. At points i said, is that Julia Roberts . When youve been in the business this long and people feel they know you as well as they do, you want them to go and enjoy a movie and not think about who you are. Did it help to have your husband the cinematographer on the film. Did it help to have him there when you got out of a heavy scene.

By the time the bell rang to go home, this is what i know, no child wants to get in the car and have their parents say, how was your day . Because you sat there.

I break it down because, one, you have less space it takes in the fridge and all the pieces cook evenly so i start with a brine, salt, sugar. August of these spices then i make a gremalato, lemon zest and chilies and put in under the skin then i Start Cooking it and look at this here. Pan fried turkey. It is so good, george. Are you smelling it. It smells so great. Then do you put more on later no, thats it coming to the skin. You want to flip that. I will ahe try. You can do it. You can do it. Go, george. Yes. See. George can cook a turkey. Get this out of the way. Get that out of the way. It is a great idea. So beautiful. How long . It cooks for about 35 minutes, 35, 40 minutes. So much better than three or four hours then on to the veggies. Yes, this is roasted acorn squash. Weve seeded, sliced it into, you know, spears like this. A little olive oil, salt and pepper. Put that oven for about a half hour and go on top were making a cheese sauce. First you bake that. Then the cheese sauce. Cheese sauce, butter and flour and then milk and thyme and gruyere cheese in there. Do you have the recipe on the website . I tasted it. Its very good. We drizzle the cheese over the cooked acorn squash wedges. This could not be easier. Right. Then the final touch which was such a surprise. Is the macadamia nut. Hazelnuts. Actually. Macadamia nuts would be lovely, as well. Use the nut of your choice. You see amy over there. Yes, this is the big winner except lets pass it on because stuffing, this man knows stuff. Everything. Whats so special about that fennel sausage, chestnuts and apples cut into cube. This is chi batsis ciabatto and save them in your freezer so its virtually free so dump that over the dried bread. Then you take some ear homemake Chicken Stock or even store bought Chicken Stock, a little butter, parsley and there you pack it into this dish and bake it for 40 minutes this for me is what i would rather have of all the leftovers, id rather have a stuffing sandwich than anything else. Easy on the wallet. We have to have dessert, mike. Two favorite desserts into one, chocolate pumpkin pie. And the tip here is because it is a loose custardy base and you can make the pie crist the day before you could make the custard the day before, its just pumpkin, melted chocolate, a little cream, eggs, brown sugar and then the spice, clove, ginger, nutmeg and then you just take this, you bake the crust at 425 the day ahead of time. You take that beautiful custard and pour it in. Soits its so good. Bake it at 350 for an hour. How do you transport it to grandmas house. I get a good box and bring it on over. All right. I thought there was a towel or something involved is there all on our website. The chew, every day at 1 00 eastern. Must see tv.
