to his defense. why he felt threatens by these baseball bats at the field. what went wrong at the miss universe pageant. >> i have to apologize. >> the backlash this morning. conspiracy theories calling it a publicity stunt and the pageant facing threats of a lawsuit. this morning, we speak live to one of the judges. what happened behind the scenes only on "gma." and good morning, america. okay, so are you ready, three days to go. >> kind of. >> kind of. christmas is coming. today is the busiest delivery day of the year but you still have a little more time to get out there, make the final -- >> what about getting yourself where you need to go? it is going to be very busy if you're heading out this morning. be prepared for traffic. long lines at the airports. and tomorrow, i hate to tell you, could be worse. wednesday is expected to be the busiest day on the highways and wicked weather across the country is not going to help. rob marciano is starting us off with that. good morning, rob. >> good morning, lara. yeah, today is no picnic. tomorrow is even worse. across the roads in the east. i-40, i-10, all rain-ridden. i-80 and i-95 as well. west, snow at the higher elevations, i-5 from seattle to san francisco will be wet but over the siskiyous, snow and ice. traveling by air tomorrow, i think the east will be the biggest issue with low clouds and low visibility and rain from chicago, atlanta, d.c. and new york, as well. today, dallas, you've got a severe weather threat could see tornadoes but a greater threat as this system moves off to the east. memphis, nashville and birmingham, tornadoes a possibility. and then again, sunday and monday for folks who might be traveling back for next week. we'll keep you posted. >> you're just full of good news today. merry christmas. >> yeah, really. keep it to yourself over there. >> okay, rob, thank you. the race for president now, "your voice, your vote," and that new national poll shows some big moves, ted cruz on the rise pulling close to donald trump, the two of them pulling away from the rest of the field as trump comes down hard on hillary clinton with some colorful language. jon karl is on the trail. with trump in grand rapids, michigan. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. ted cruz is rising fast. but donald trump remains on top. and he is now aiming his harshest attacks at hillary clinton. overnight at a packed rally in grand rapids, michigan, donald trump went on an odd diatribe against hillary clinton. using a sexually derogatory term to describe how she got beat by barack obama in 2008. >> she was favored to win and she got [ bleep ]. she lost. i mean she lost. >> reporter: and he went after her for what she said in the abc democratic debate. >> what happened to her? [ crowd booing ] no, she's terrible. she's terrible. donald trump is on video and isis is using him on the video to recruit. and it turned out to be a lie. >> that you would sponsor -- >> reporter: that's a reference to this moment from the debate. >> they are going to people showing videos of donald trump insulting islam and muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists. >> reporter: clinton's campaign has provided no direct evidence that that has happened. trump has demanded an apology. hillary clinton says hell no she won't apologize. you've demanded an apology. what now? >> well, look. she lies. and she's been a liar, whether it's the e-mails or so many other things. >> reporter: she said hell no. >> she doesn't want to apologize. that's okay. that's up to her but she lied and she should apologize. >> reporter: the argument she's making beyond the video is that your words are being broadcast throughout the arab world and, you know, why -- i mean, is there any doubt that isis would use what you're saying about muslims? >> but there is no argument beyond the video. she said donald trump is on a video and they're distributing the -- you know, et cetera, et cetera, okay, and there really is no argument beyond the video. they are using lots of things, i imagine, to recruit. but they didn't use me on a video. and i'm not sure they used me at all, frankly. >> reporter: trump angrily dismissed suggestions he is the republican hillary clinton could beat most easily. >> when they say they want to run against me that means they don't want to run against me. you do understand that, right? >> reporter: well let me tell you, though, i saw you tweet about it. >> i did. i did tweet about it. >> reporter: you talk to democrats. they say they would love nothing more to run against you. >> because that's a smart thing for them to say, jon. >> i have to apologize. >> reporter: and for the first time on camera, trump, the former owner of the miss universe pageant who sold the organization after a controversy about his comments on immigrants, weighed in on the screw-up sunday night when miss colombia was briefly crowned the winner by mistake. what was your reaction when you saw that happen and you saw them crown the wrong winner? >> it was just a mistake. he read the card wrong. it was simple. he just read it wrong. and you know, it's crazy the way life works. it will probably end up being a good thing for the miss universe. because, all over the world, that's what they want to ask about. >> reporter: trump told me he believes hillary clinton will be a tough opponent for republicans, but, george, he is absolutely insistent that he is the republican best poised to beat her. >> let's go back to that new poll that's just out this morning. trump holding up at the top. cruz moving up a lot and big moves for some of the other contenders beneath. >> reporter: yeah, moves down for ben carson and for marco rubio. they both lost significant ground over the last month. the other movement is at the back of the pack with chris christie moving up slightly, still at the back but moving ahead within the margin of error of jeb bush. >> yeah, he's moving up in new hampshire, as well. jon karl, thanks very much. we have new information about that horrifying scene on the las vegas strip. and the woman who intentionally drove into crowds of tourists killing a young mother and injuring dozens more. abc's kayna whitworth is live at the scene for us. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: lara, good morning we're learning that the woman behind the wheel of that car shouldn't have been driving at all. that her license had recently been suspended. she told police she didn't know how she got on to the strip. but she does remember a body hitting the windshield. this morning, police saying 24-year-old lakeisha holloway is on suicide watch after allegedly plowing through nearly 40 people, killing a mother of three on the busy las vegas strip, all while her own 3-year-old daughter was in the car. >> it looked like she wasn't even trying to stop the car. she had both of her hands on the wheel and was looking straight forward. >> reporter: the police report stating holloway described a stressful period of time where she was trying to rest and sleep inside her vehicle with her daughter. but kept getting run off by security. overnight, her cousin saying holloway would never do something like this on purpose. >> none of it made any sense, it just didn't add up to who she is. she loved her family. she loved her daughter. she loved god. this is just traumatic for everybody. >> reporter: once a resident of port lapd, oregon, working for the forest service for a program designed to help at-risk youth, holloway was even touted as a case study in resilience. even receiving a role model award in 2012, speaking about her experience. >> i beat the odds and was the first in my immediate family to graduate high school. >> reporter: poic putting out the statement it's hard to believe lakeisha did this. she was such a great kid while she was part of our program. holloway was emotionless when she was arrested sunday night. her daughter, now in protective custody while police search for her father. holloway's deadly ride ending in this casino parking lot. >> she left the scene and left her toddler within the vehicle and contacted a valet parker and advised that she had ran over some individuals and requested the valet parker to call 911. >> reporter: we're also hearing reports that she changed her name within the last few months. she changed her name to paris paradise morton. you may remember invest faters initially had a tard hard time learning about her past and that might explain why. >> all right, kayna, thank you so much. just does not add up. >> she had so much promise before. okay, we're going to move on now to more trouble for chipotle. the cdc investigating another e. coli outbreak linked to the chain. this one in three states coming after that outbreak in november sickened dozens and abc's linsey davis here with the latest. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is one of five disease outbreaks the burrito chain has had since july. the cdc says the latest bacteria has a different genetic fingerprint than what they detected in the previous e. coli outbreak. this morning chipotle is at the center of another e. coli outbreak. the cdc is investigating a second outbreak of the virus affecting customers in three states. after five people say they got sick after eating at the burrito giant in the last two weeks of november. >> i just felt like i take the same risk no matter where you go to eat. >> i don't think i'll be eating chipotle at all. >> reporter: this is just the latest blow to chipotle. two weeks ago more than 140 boston college students were sickened with norovirus after eating at this chipotle in boston. and earlier this year, 52 people became sick in nine different states after falling ill with e. coli. back then as a precaution, the restaurant closed several of its stores to clean and discard ingredients before re-opening. as for this latest outbreak, a spokesman for chipotle tells abc news it was not unexpected saying we have indicated before that we expected that we may see additional cases stemming from this. since this issue began, we have completed a comprehensive reassessment of our food safety programs adding, we're confident that we can achieve a level of food safety risk that is near zero. chipotle has already made massive changes in response and is now centralizing the preparation of some vegetables and also moving away from its use of locally sourced ingredients, which the company often used as a selling point to differentiate itself from other fast food chains and once again chipotle's stock dropped significantly yesterday in the wake of this. more than 3%. and while health officials don't know what the culprit is, they think it's likely produce. >> it's a real trade-off on the local sourcing. >> exactly and really unfortunate. this was something that was really significant for them that people really liked. >> right, absolutely. linsey, thank you. now to a major security breach at one of the nation's busiest airports just as millions of americans get set to fly for the holidays. this morning, we're learning about man who managed to get on to the runway at jfk here in new york city. shutting down part of the airport. and david kerley is at reagan national with details. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning. this happened at the american airlines terminal. a man seen walking across a taxiway. we're just learning about it this morning. it happened nine days ago. our station wabc reporting that a cargo worker actually saw the man. went up to him, asked him if he had an airport badge. the man reportedly used profanity, said don't say anything, and kept walking toward the terminal and disappeared. the port authority telling us that the man got over a piece of fence that didn't have sensors which is alarming for a new york congressman. >> we could not allow that there be any weak links. the day and age we live in, we have zero room for error. >> reporter: now this is not the first breach at jfk, which is why it's concerning for new york politicians. they're looking at closed circuit video to try to find the man. so far, he's vanished into thin air. lara? >> yeah, concerning to say the least. thank you. now dan has the morning's other top stories starting with news from space, i understand. >> that's right, good morning, everybody. we'll start with a milestone accomplishment in space travel. the private company spacex launched an unmanned rocket from cape canaveral sending several satellites into orbit and made history when the rocket flew back to the launch site and the booster landed upright. this is significant because reusable rockets like this could dramatically lower the cost of space travel paving the way for space tourism. we have learned that one of the six american service members killed in that suicide bombing in afghanistan on monday was a new york city police detective. joseph lemm was on his second deployment in afghanistan with the air national guard. the taliban, which claimed responsibility for the attack, has made significant gains in recent fighting. a grand jury in texas decided not to indict any sheriff's deputy or jail staff in the death of sandra bland. as you may remember she was pulled over last summer and later died in her cell. investigators say she hanged herself. her family, however, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit. look at this. police dash cam out of michigan capturing a joyride in progress. when the driver spins out, the officer is surprised to see who gets out and runs. it's an 8-year-old girl and her 13-year-old brother. he was the one driving. the car belongs to their father's girlfriend. that teenager, the 13-year-old now facing several charges. and finally on a lighter note some new numbers suggest hallowed christmas traditions may now be fading. first christmas cards, down by 1.5 billion since 2002. according to the u.s. postal service a nearly 50% decline. and then mistletoe. a survey out of the uk says only one in seven people shared a kiss last year. george is always telling us with poll numbers you got to dig below the top line number and look at the guts of the poll. so we did that. and found that only 1 out of 50 said they'd like to kiss a colleague under it. and 1 out of 100 said they wanted to kiss the boss. hr executives are applauding these survey numbers. in y >> you needed a poll to find that out? >> 1 out of 50 want to kiss their co-corkers. >> just 1 out of 50. >> that's right. >> not many get to work with george. >> she did it, ali. not me. >> i made my selection. sorry, george. sorry, ali. sorry, max. >> can you recover from this? >> we'll try to move on. it's fairly serious. the suspension for one of the nfl's top stars, that's the giants' odell beckham jr., out for one game for this vicious helmet-to-helmet hit in this loss to the panthers on sunday. he's been widely blasted for that dirty play, you see it right there. but his team says there's more to this story. abc's ryan smith has the details. >> reporter: odell beckham is one of the nfl's brightest stars. fan friendly. the madden nfl '16 cover boy. after one season in the league and famous for those acrobatic one-handed catches being vilified slammed for taking dangerous shots at an opponent sunday. and the controversy is just beginning to unfold. this is the play that sacked odell beckham jr. the new york giants' star diving into a pile, slamming into carolina panthers' cornerback josh norman head to head. >> you end players' careers like that. >> he came back and was hunting and it was just like malicious in every way. >> reporter: beckham got three unsportsmanlike penalties within six minutes of the game. this morning, the nfl suspending the star for one game, saying his actions placed a fellow player at unnecessary risk. after the game, beckham saying his competitive spirit took over. >> competing against one of the best teams in the league and anybody who has a passion for football is going to go as hard as they can. >> reporter: pundits skewering him for being a sore loser. >> it was a cheap shot. >> he behaved like a complete jerk. >> reporter: but his team believes there may be more than meets the eye. giants sources telling espn papters players yelled anti-gay slurs before the game. and members of the papt nthers holding baseball bats on the field, allegedly pointing them at beckham. and that these incidents created an edgy tone for the game. >> there are people in the giants organization who believe that odell beckham jr. felt threatened by the actions of at least one panther who was carrying a bat and helped incite odell beckham jr. >> reporter: but the panthers denying the slurs and the threats. their spokesman saying bats on the field are tradition and nothing new. panthers players tweeting out pictures, showing other teams carrying bats on the gridiron. saying they're used as motivational tools. symbolizing bringing the wood on the field. now, according to espn, beckham has appealed the suspension which is expected to be heard wednesday and ruled upon before next sunday's giants game but many, guys, saying that beckham went too far with this and that the punishment wasn't far enough. >> not likely to turn around, is it? >> i don't think so, but you never know with these kinds of punishments. a lot of people said it was just out of control on that field. >> it was watching it. nonstop. >> stunning. >> ryan, thank you very much. moving on now to scary moments at seaworld in orlando. dozens trapped for hours, 200 feet above the ground in a ride called the sky tower. abc's reena ninan has the story. >> reporter: a sky-high scare at seaworld. vacationers stuck hundreds of feet above ground. >> i want to get out of this thing. >> reporter: the more than 40-year-old rotating 400-foot sky tower elevator. >> the tower is stuck with approximately 50 people and 2 employees. >> reporter: didn't move for about three hours. firefighters -- >> establishing seaworld command. >> reporter: -- arrive for the rescue as parents try to calm children. >> i know you're getting tired. just chill out and rest. >> reporter: finally a basket. >> they're bringing supplies up with them. >> reporter: carrying a technician, as well. once on top of the sky tower the technician was able to get the ride to move. >> the technician was able to jerk the ride free, which did cause some people a little bit of panic, as we jumped a little bit. >> reporter: finally lowering back to ground. for "good morning america," reena ninan, abc news, new york. >> fortunately, no one was injured. >> rob, you had the bad weather news before. now the record heat for christmas. >> first day of christmas on the calendar and we're talking about records going to be blown out of the water on thursday. christmas eve temperatures in the 70s from new york to d.c. and atlanta and raleigh. your local forecast upcoming. first your tuesday trivia brought to

>> i have to apologize. the first runner-up is colombia. miss universe 2015 is philippines. >> reporter: this morning some on social media are suggesting there may be more to the story. the sentiment echoed by thousands of others on twitter. i generally don't buy into conspiracy theories, but this is the most attention the miss universe pageant has gotten since -- well -- ever. harvey made no excuses and immediately, repeatedly, and emphatically said it was his fault alone. >> i made a mistake. i didn't read first runner-up on the card. >> reporter: niecy nash, one of the judge, posted this video of the immediate aftermath with fellow judge, perez hilton. >> people are going crazy in here. oh, my gosh. >> reporter: speculation is that the teleprompter could have led to the gaffe but miss australia tells us she saw with her own eyes the teleprompter got it right. >> all the girls saw on the teleprompter. philippines, you may now take your first walk as miss universe. >> reporter: while both contestants handled themselves with dignity and poise, the country of colombia is fighting mad this morning. the hashtag that translates the crown must be respected is trending. and a colombian law firm says two of its attorneys are filing suit saying the crown is an acquired right that cannot be taken away from us. even miss colombia's fellow countrywoman and doppelganger, sofia vergara, is getting in on the act, posting this photo to instagram with a caption that tra translates, the queen anyway. some are floating the suggestion that maybe they should share the crown, lara, no word on that just yet. >> all right, t.j., well, joining us now exclusively is perez hilton. he was one of the judges at the miss universe pageant sunday night. i have to ask what were you and the other judges thinking when you heard the name miss colombia called? >> my first thought was, wow, this is rigged. because i knew how i voted. and i knew how all the other judges voted. all of us voted for philippines to win. so we were in shock. and then when we found out that there was a mistake, i was like, this is brilliant. they did this on purpose for publicity. i mean that's how my mind works. >> right, well, you're not alone in that. but let me ask you, you were there, what do you think went wrong on that stage? >> well, you know, since the pageant there have been reports that steve missed part of rehearsals, that he was out gambling and drinking and having a good time. he made a mistake. but he also could have been tired and hung over. you know, he just didn't do his job well. period. >> i mean, but we've heard there's a teleprompter that you could see the names in the teleprompter. from your vantage point because i've been a judge and i've been the host of miss america. and i know it's live tv. it is happening, it's very fluid. but did you see anything that could have gone wrong that made this happen? >> well, there is a prompter, but the moment where he crowns the winner isn't on the prompter because that moment, they don't want the other girls to know, so it was just on his card and he read it incorrectly. >> right. well, as i said, though, i mean just to say for steve that is a live television event that is happening, it's very, very fluid. did you get a chance, perez, to talk to steve afterwards? >> no, he disappeared as soon as everything went down. and it was crazy for us in the theater after the broadcast ended. because people were booing and screaming. and emmitt smith came up to me saying somebody was shot outside the theater. we didn't have all the information yet on exactly what had happened on the strip, so it was pandemonium inside. >> yeah, i would imagine so. i'm sure the fans were very confused, as were the contestants. what do you think of the idea of joint crown, sharing it? >> you know, i actually think that miss philippines whom we all voted for deserves to win, won. but losing is the best thing that ever happened to colombia. so in one sense, she truly is the winner. although, as a judge, and i'm looking at everything that happened, i see her posten on instagram that she's the true winner. there's a reason, many reasons she didn't win. congratulations to philippines. >> wow, perez hilton, there you go. i guess in some ways everyone is a winner in this. >> boy, he speaks his mind, huh?

>> well, we've been working over the past several days with tarrant county sheriff's department and the district attorney's office and running down leads. >> have there been any sightings of ethan or his mom? >> we've been receiving a lot of tips that have come in all over the country to include a couple that were international. but, you know, we're quickly going through those, ruling out those tips that are, you know, not valid. >> pretty sure they're still together? >> that is our belief, yes. >> how much trouble is his mom in right now, if, indeed, she has helped him escape his probation? what kind of trouble could she be facing? >> well, she could -- the charges could be filed against her and tarrant county, i'm sure is looking at that. it doesn't help her case to be assisting him. and it's not to say that it's only the mother. if the investigation shows that other family members or associates, friends or anyone is offering support to ethan, they will likely be charged, as well. >> do you have any information to make you believe that other family members are involved? >> we have information that, you know, some folks are cooperating and we always keep that in the back of our mind that they may not be completely truthful with us. but as that information comes out and the investigation leads to that, yeah, it's very likely that warrants could come out for anyone that helps them out. >> what should members of the public do if they see either ethan our his mom? do you consider them armed or dangerous in any way? >> i wouldn't consider him a violent fugitive, but any information, any sightings that they potentially see of him they should definitely call the tip lines or their local law enforcement. literally, within minutes of receiving a valid tip, we could have our task force there on scene the arrest ethan. >> and finally what would you say to ethan or his mom if they're watching right now? >> well, i don't know that there's anything really i could say to ethan. but i think i would like the to say is to the families of the victims is that, we're doing this for you. and we're going to find ethan and we're going to bring him back to tarrant county. >> marshal taylor, thank you very much for your time. >> my pleasure. thank you. coming up, look who is here. we're going to talk to ginger live. >> ah. >> don't go anywhere. live. >> ah. >> don't go anywhere. ♪ love you. love you too. one minute. ♪ hi. hi dad. we need to do this. letting go... it's a little easier when you've saved for college, with state farm. there's share with.rather... no one i'd rather have dinner and a movie with. no one i'd rather lean on. being in love is an amazing thing. being in love with your best friend... ...is everything. introducing the ever us two-stone ring. one diamond for your best friend... one for your true love. for the one woman in your life who's both. ever us. new this holiday at kay, jared and zales. we're back and it's time to meet the newest addition to our "gma" family. adrian benjamin colonomos was born saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. and ginger, ben, and the newest little baby join us from their hospital room. >> oh, sara, that's his response to you?

>> i'm glad this issue is being taken seriously. i think too often models' concerns are sort of trivialized and dismissed. people say, oh, you know, you're a fashion model. how hard can it be? but professional models have literally died trying to achieve this standard of beauty, this body image, and it goes beyond just the models working in the industry. this is a powerful industry that has an influence on our culture and on the women and girls who look up to models so -- >> from your perspective as somebody in the industry, do you think that legislation can change the way things are? >> yeah, well, so we've seen in france they've just passed this bill that calls for health checks and that's something that i and the model alliance support. unfortunately, it's -- we get pushback from different stakeholders in the industry. >> but do you think if there was legislation that models would say, okay, let's all agree we'll gain "x" amount or do you think there's sort of internal pressure as an individual to be thin? >> i think that the industry is not solely responsible, okay. >> that's what i was -- >> yeah. i think that there are multiple sources of pressure, but everyone needs to do their part because i think that we all want to promote a healthy ideal for the girls working in the industry and the people who look up to these models. >> yeah, i was going to say girls like my daughter who think the be all end all is on that catwalk. >> and the industry has not been very good at regulating itself. that's why all these other countries have stepped up, and i think the u.s. needs to do more, as well. >> all right. well, thank you for stepping up and speaking out. sara, thank you so much. >> thanks so much. >> george. >> thank you, lara. you know, robin has a big special tonight. her look back at all the big moments that defined 2015 and the people who inspired us most. here's a sneak peek at her heroes of the year. >> this year there were no shortages of heroes or shall we say sheroes. >> that's it. game over, the u.s. wins the 2015 women's world cup! >> reporter: from the soccer field to center stage, women inspired us all. the u.s. women's national soccer team showed us all that teamwork and determination can lead to greatness. >> u.s. women's soccer team kicked some "a." this was the year of the woman. >> i think that was a nice example of what the society can be as a whole if we started maximizing the potential in each other and stop being divisive and keeping each other apart. >> viola davis, "how to get away with murder." >> reporter: with her win viola davis was the first african-american woman to take home the emmy in the drama category for her lead role in "how to get away with murder." >> we won because i did my job. >> when you're a kid sitting there watching tv, whether you're black or brown or of any color, and you see someone who looks just like you, then you believe all things are possible. >> the only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. >> viola davis is proof that talent really does win out in the end. >> reporter: off the stage and field, there were so many heroes among us. the families of the charleston church shooting victims taught us heroism comes from the heart when there is room for forgiveness. speaking directly to the killer in court, they showed incredible strength in the wake of tremendous grief. >> we have no room for hate so we have to forgive. >> i will never talk to her ever again, but i forgive you. ♪ we shall >> they taught us a lesson, didn't they, on how to move on and not let the killer claim even more lives, the lives of the living. >> reporter: in a year with so much darkness, a beautiful lesson from all of these heroes on how to view the world. >> a beautiful lesson. >> boy, those charleston families get me every time. >> yeah, absolutely. >> what a stunning move that was. robin's special, "the year 2015" airs tonight at 9:00, 8:00 central on abc. let's go outside to rob. >> hey, george, you know, some people line up for hours. and this family came here and then we put the tree in front of them so they've been blocked and what does the sign say?
