The gop frontrunner once again playing by his own rules, trump broke that news during a 30minute News Conference that was incredible to watch. He was absolutely livid. He went after fox news, megyn kelly, roger ailes and ted cruz vowing to take them all on hes out. Donald trump says he will not participate in thursdays Republican Debate hosted by fox news. I wont be doing the debate. Im going to have Something Else in iowa. Well do something where we raise money for the veterans and the Wounded Warriors. Well do something simultaneously with the debate. Reporter trump furious at fox news, on tuesday he posted this message to social media, attacking megyn kelly, one of the debate moderators. Megyn kellys really biased against me. She knows that. I know that. Do you really think she can be fair at a debate . Reporter fox news responding with a press release mocking trump reading in part we learned from a secret back channel that the ayatollah and putin both intend to treat donald trump unfairly and trump has his own secret plan to replace the cabinet with his twitter followers. They cant toy with me like they toy with everybody else. So let them have their debate and lets see how they do with the ratings. Reporter as for megyn kelly this this is a lightweight. Megyn kelly shouldnt be in the debate. Reporter the fox news anchor saying overnight her question to trump is the first debate about his treatment of women was fair game. I maintain it was a tough but fair question and we agreed to disagree. Reporter i asked trump if his rivals will now use this to their advantage. Do you think by skipping the debate theyll attack your temperament. No, i think my temperament is great. I built a great corporation. Think when fox sends out their little like written by a child about putin, et cetera, et cetera, then i say let them have their debate. Reporter but overnight senator ted cruz insinuating trump is scared of megyn kelly. If hes unwilling to stand on the debate stage with the other candidates then i would like to invite donald right now to engage in a oneonone debate with me any time between now and the Iowa Caucuses. Reporter now trump has a new fight brewing over his religion. Jeb bush questioning if trump is even a christian at all. You dont think hes a christian. No, i dont know what he is. Reporter and this morning ted cruz hammering that attack about donald trump skipping the debate. Hes actually launched a website called duckingdonald. Com where he attacks had imfor missing the debate. As for fox news they released a statement overnight that reads terrorizations towards any other of employees. Lets talk to his Campaign Manager. You heard it right there, cory. Mr. Trump is still welcome at the debate. Any chance hell show . Well, george, its great thanks for having me on. The short answer, i dont think so. Look, heres where we are, megyn kelly is totally obsessed with mr. Trump. Shes done multiple shows on why he shouldnt be even involved in the race on television. Shes completely obsessed with him. Its impossible to have a fair and honest debate. You know hold on, donald trump is the best debater on that stage. Hes participated in six debates. Hes won every single one by every poll. Hes not afraid to debate anybody. He does more television and radio interviews than all other candidates combined and answered your questions including yours multiple times. The issue is one of fairness. Let me press you on that, corey. Mocking a frontrunner, someone like that on the debate stage. Thats a separate issue from megyn kelly because, you know, you say that megyn kelly appears to be obsessed with donald trump. Right now it appears that he seems to be obsessed with her. Jut put out a tweet saying i refuse call megyn kelly a bimbo because that would not be politically correct. Instead i will only call her a lightweight reporter. Why not go up on the stage and take the question. Look, hes not afraid to take the question. Been on six debate stages and won every single one and every poll said that and answers every question from every reporter including yours. Hes happy to sit dunn and do interviews and answer the questions that the American People want to hear about. What fox wants to do is they want to have 24 Million People tune in to watch donald trump so that their anchors can have the story about them. This is what happened in the first fox debate. No one was talking about the answers that the candidates gave, they were all talking about the moderators questions, the exact same thing that removed them from future debates if thats what youre worried about how about ted cruzs challenge, a oneonone debate with donald trump before the Iowa Caucuses . Look, ted cruz, if hes the last man standing and it comes down to a twoperson race donald trump will be happy to debate him. Ted cruz talked about how gait his campaign is and has the greatest ground game in the history of iowa. What we see is his position on ethanol has flipped and flopped and governor bransome has said he should not be elected in the state of iowa, a remarkable feat for a sitting governor. We see that number of people have come out and basically said mr. Trump is the best person in this race for the state of iowa and moving forward including corey including Jerry Falwell jr. Its up to the people of iowa to decide who ultimately on monday will be the caucus winner but i can tell you donald trump is in the state of iowa competing every dhar for votes. Corey, youre a political pro. Arent you worried about that possibility of an empty podium look, you know what it is, when donald trump goes tomorrow night into des moines, iowa and we start raising money for veterans and Wounded Warriors have multiples of millions of dollars raised for them and the American People tune in because they want to support that and fox goes back and say they should have had 24 million watching their debate instead of 1 million its a disservice to the American People. You and i both know the only reason their ratings are as high as they were on the first debate is because donald trump was on the stage. Highest rated Cable Television show in the history of tv and thats because donald trump was on the stage. People who bought advertising time thinking donald trump will ould be on the stage will be very disappointed when nobody decides to watch it because politicians are all talk, no action. Corey lewin do you ski our latest poll showing Bernie Sanders leading in iowa. Reporter Bernie Sanders is catching up to Hillary Clinton nationally and while the race is really close here in iowa, sanders clearly has momentum. Closing in on Hillary Clinton in iowa, Bernie Sanders confidently took a detour to neighboring minnesota. What a turnout. Reporter overnight 15,000 people turned out in st. Paul after 6,000 flocked to see Bernie Sanders in duluth. As were seeing here today that has the energy that has the enthusiasm, that has the momentum to take us all the way to the white house. [ cheers and applause ] reporter today sanders visits the white house for a private meeting with president obama who just this week rejected comparisons between his sanders is doing now. Our childrens future is shaped both by the values of their parents and the policies of their nation. Reporter in a new tv ad Clintons Campaign touts her decades of experience which she told a crowd of 500 supporters stands in contrast to Bernie Sanders. That im not just shouting slogan, im not just engaging in rhetoric. Ive thought this through. I have a plan. Reporter and when a supporter in iowa suggested clinton should appoint obama to the Supreme Court she seemed genuinely intrigued. Nobody has ever suggested that to me. Wow. I love that. Wow. Reporter there is more good news for Bernie Sanders in iowa this morning. Check out this new poll from Quinnipiac University of iowa democrats, it puts Bernie Sanders with 49 , Hillary Clinton with 45 , going into this last week, another poll, george, showing Bernie Sanders does have some momentum there. Well bring in matthew dowd, as well. Got to talk more about donald trump and that big decision. Let me begin with you, you just heard corey and says donald trump wont show tomorrow night. Does this hurt him or help him. Weve gone from uncharted territory to the middle of the ocean in the dark with no compass. I have no idea what this is going to do. I think it all turns on whether the voters in iowa think that its a sign of strength that hes not doing it or a sign of weakness and we dont know right now what the perception will be and thats where i think it will turn whether its an asset or liability over the in exfive day. What has worked for donald trump up until now he always appears to be strong and always to be unafraid to say whatever is on his mind. Youve been reporting. His opponents saying hes afraid of taking tough questions. Oh, and this is an incredibly high risk move, george, at a really bizarre time. Everything seemed to be breaking Donald Trumps way. He was moving ahead, his largest in iowa and then he does this facing that risk that you asked corey about of having an empty podium at center stage, already his opponents are saying this is a sign that donald trump is just afraid to come out, afraid to show up at a fight and that is high risk. So going back to your analysis, matthew, is this seen as strength or weakness, whats your gut on where that goes . I think in the short term reaction i think his voters, Donald Trumps voters will see it as a sign of strength. I think thats what the Immediate Reaction will be. It puts a lid on his capacity to grow because others see it as a sign of weakness but for the short term up to iowa i think theyll see it as a sign of strength. Thanks very much. A clarification from yesterdays interview with donald trump. I incorrectly identified a republican strategist in one of my questions, it was henry bar barber, not haley barbour. I apologize.

So what was happening . I was really a lot had happened that day actually. The events leading up to that point, my father had been placed in the hospital and just minutes prior to that altercation with the uber driver, my boyfriend and i of two years had just broken up so he went home, i was there by myself. You guys have been drinking. Yes, and i knew that i had had a few drinks so i decided actually i had driven to that place that night. But i did not want to drive my car home so i left my car there get the uber to get home. Everything you said sounds pretty bad but you know its no excuse, right . There is absolutely no excuse for my actions. I am ashamed. I am so sorry. I have hurt so many people with this. My family, my friends, my job.

I did it. And im ashamed of what i did. And this would never happen again and i think at the same time i should also speak out that, you know, to send a message out to people and the story as a message as a lesson to be careful what you do in public because the things that we do can be taped and we can have to suffer severe ramifications for these things.

When you Pay Attention to portion size you can continue to lose weight. Reporter she says read the label, anything with the word whole grain or whole wheat is best for weight loss. The queen of talk now hoping her new weight loss message will inspire others. If not now, when . Millions of other people feel that way. Reporter for Good Morning America, Abbie Boudreau, abc news, los angeles. A lot of people talking about this so were joined by abc news senior medical contributor dr. Jen ashton. What do you think, 26 pound, eating bread every day. How did oprah do it. When did bread become like crack . I mean, its not for some people it is a beloved treat. Lets go back to the basics here. First of all, to lose weight, you need what we call a negative Energy Balance and data has shown you need to cut between 500 to 750 calories per day, this goes back to in versus out. Simple math. What you consume as long as youre under that caloric deficit, of course, there can be bread there so to me this is not shocking. Okay, so its not shocking but how do our viewers take this information and use it in their own lives. Well, listen, i mean you know im getting a masters in analyzed the data. When youre not birthing babies. So ive analyzed basically ref single diet and i will tell you almost every diet that restricts portions and reduces calories will work dramatically in the short term. The key is that two years most diets fail. So its about moderation and finding what works for you and its about keeping that off. In general healthwise the mediterranean diet is probably the most well rounded. Kind of the Gold Standard but anything can work. You and dr. B. Always say that. So all breads are not created equal. Right, listen, if you want to eat bread in moderation, you want to try to go for something thats a whole grain sprouted bread, when you flip that over and look at the ingredient, thats what you should look for. White bread doesnt come this way in nature so i would say no but you want to enjoy what you toasted, maybe dipped in morning coffee. Really . Oh, you just lost me. You lost me with the coffee. Smothered in butter, garlic bread. So much we can cheer. Cheers. We can have our bread and eat it too. Jen will take your questions throughout the morning, tweet her drjashton or post them on gmas Facebook Page. I couldnt resist. Were kind of up set because we dont have bread. We did have our cake. Yes, we did and now from one star to another whos making headlines. Modern familys Sofia Vergara is taking a major legal action to protect her image follow filing a 15 million lawsuit against a beauty brand for using their product. Abcs Deborah Roberts is here with the latest. Good morning, deborah. Good morning. Instagram addicts, beware, like so many celebrities, many of them like so many of us celebrities often take to social media to express themselves to highlight a restaurant, an outfit or a place they like but highering stars may want to think twice about that post before pressing share. With her smoeld determining beauty. Moving in slow motion. Reporter comedic timing and business savvy, Sofia Vergara is one of hollywoods most powerful women. This morning the actress is taking steps to protect that reputation with a multimillion dollar lawsuit filed against Venus Concept and a number of its alleged affiliates she claims have been cashing in on her image promoting their beauty product without her permission or endorsement. You talk to me. Reporter according to the statute it started in 2014 with this Instagram Selfie of vergara getting a venus legacy massage. A treatment she claims she ultimately did not like finding it was a waste of time and money. She would not use it again and certainly would not endorse it. Now were very vrieling her super skin secret. Reporter but it made its way alleges that photos appeared on venus Facebook Page. The lavoro laser and the spa. A tweet with a picture is a pr persons dream. But its an intellectual property nightmare. Theres nothing like reporter had she agreed to the promotion she argues it would have cost the company big bucks. The lawsuit says she pockets somewhere around 15 million for an endorsement. Her lawsuit accuses the companies of diminishing her brand and profiting through improper and inappropriate use of her image. We contacted the Companies Involved in the lawsuit and they declined comment. Vergaras lawyers though insist in the lawsuit that this all could have been prevented. They ask the companies they say to stop the ads multiple times but they never did so, of course, guy, now the big question is will this go before it is. 15 million in endorsements. She pockets a lot so she has a lot at risk. Be careful about those shares. Thank you, deborah. We move on to day three of our supersaver takeover. We got Rebecca Jarvis here.

Hi, everybody. Back with chris pine starring in the new disney action thriller, the finest hours as captain bernie weber the reallife hero back in the 50s and one of the most daring rescues in coast guard history. Take a look. The engine died. I got it. I go the it. You got about five seconds, boys. So, i want to hear all about playing bernie because this movie was very very intense. Yeah. To watch. I can only imagine what it was like playing the reallife character. Well, i mean theres certainly room for complaining when youre spending 12 hours a day and getting water thrown on you and wind machines and fake snow and youre in a sardine can of a freezing spot in quincy, massachusetts, where they built us this tank on which to but what happened that day this true story that happened in 1952, four men went off in a 36foot boat. Yeah, tiny little boat in in the 70foot waves with no compass in a broken windshield. Zero visible, 70foot wave, rain, sleet, snow, frigid temperatures. They saved 32 men off fourstory tanker that split in half on to a boat that was only supposeded to carry 12 people and got them all back inside. Only suffered one fatality. So the facts of that night, what those men went through is so tremendous, so profound that any kind of bs actorly complaining i could have done on the day was quickly silenced. Is that what drew you to the role, the fact that this was so hard to believe that it was true and that this guy was such a stoic earnest real hero. Yeah, i mean, i was what appealed to me exactly right was this simple, beautiful, unbelievable facts of the is something that i dont think you see a lot of nowaday, it reminded me of like a 50s studio picture. No we wear our heart on our sleeve, no irony, no selfreferencing or selfawareness. No winkwink at all. It is what it is. It is about good, regular joes doing good things. Theyre scared but they try to do their best. Play bernie weber who is in love with a beautiful woman named grainger. These fantastic, by the way. And they he wants to get home to his lady so he can go home and get married and make some babies and have a wonderful life. I love the simplicity of a tale told well. Which i love as a perfect dichotomy to an upcoming project you have. You are in the new wonder woman film. It couldnt get any more different. You play the love interest. I do. I do. I play wonder womans man and jenkins is directing it. We got chuck producing who has done wonderful things. Wonder woman is beyond being a stunning woman physically as incredibly smart and i think brings to the role a great amount of love and compassion, a real kind of childlike wonder that this character needs and i think fans will fall in love with. I cant wait. Big wonder woman fan as a child. I always wondered would i want the invisible plane or cuffs, we will find out how great it is. Tricks up our sleeves. Chris pine, always great to see you, the finest hours is fine. It is fantastic and it hits theaters on friday. Always great to see you. Thank you very much. Good thursday, friends.
