Isnt it unamerican and wrong to discriminate people based on their religion . [ applause ] im for it. But look, we have people coming into our country that are looking to do tremendous harm. Reporter but trump played along when kimmel gave him the dr. Seuss treatment. Now here are some frogs i do not like at all. We must kick these frogs out and then build a wall. Like them would you like to finish or a winner like me. Please welcome the next president of the United States. Reporter for his trip to late night, trump rallied his diehard supporters in arizona. We have the biggest crowds by because theres a movement folks. This isnt just like lets go and have a good time. Somebody said, oh, trump is a great entertainer. Thats a lot of [ bleep ]. Reporter with his commanding lead in the polls, the republican frontrunner is flying high. And abc news got an exclusive ride aboard trump force one. While its flying high now, trump says if he wins the white house, he may just leave his private plane in the hangar. Theres something very special about air force one. Lets face it. It represents something very, very special like the white house represents something. Reporter trump is clearly enjoying his position as the frontrunner among republicans, frontrunner he may need be to worried about. Clinton beats donald trump in a headtohead matchup and actually does better against trump than any of the other republican candidates. Mrs. Clinton, of course, squares off against her democratic opponents, Bernie Sanders and martin omalley, on saturday right here on abc in the next democratic debate. Up in New Hampshire for that. Martha raddatz and david muir will be here saturday night at 8 00. Were going to talk about the fallout in baltimore after a mistrial was declared in the case of that first Police Officer charged in the death of freddie gray. Protests mostly peaceful overnight and abcs jim avila is in baltimore with the latest. Good morning, jim. Reporter good morning, robin. Calls for justice this morning but overnight the call was for peace from Community Organizers and that along with an overwhelming show of police force kept the night calm. These are the moments after a mistrial was announced in the freddie gray case. A jury deadlocked. Unable to come to a decision alleged role in the 25yearolds death. Baltimore sheriffs deputies moving into place, surrounding the courthouse, and making a handful of arrests. Get out of the way. Move, move. Reporter forcefully clearing the streets. Grays family stood outside the courtroom and called for peace expressing faith in the system that could not convict the first of six baltimore Police Officers charged in connection with their loved ones death. We ask the public to remain calm, patient, because we are confident that there will be another trial with a different jury. Reporter overnight, protests grew larger but remained overwhelmingly peaceful. All shut it down. Reporter freddie gray died this spring after being chased and arrested by baltimore police. But he was never charged with any crime. Officer porter was not involved in grays arrest and wasnt driving the police van where he suffered fatal injuries. But prosecutors charge the claiming he could have put a seat belt on gray, or called a medic when the victim asked for one during several stops on the way to jail but the jury of seven blacks and five whites struggled in the jury room for 16 hours over three days and could not reach a unanimous verdict on any of the four charges against porter. The most serious, involuntary manslaughter. The prosecutor did not reveal strategy or timing for a retrial. Are you disappointed at all . Reporter reached by phone overnight, officer porter told the Baltimore Sun its not over. Death but is likely to face another trial with a new jury. The trials of the other five cops charged, scheduled to begin robin. All right, jim, thank you. We turn to abc News Legal Affairs Anchor Dan Abrams for more on this. Explain exactly what this mistrial means. This means that the judge is jury could reach a unanimous effectively starting again. Its as if no trial had happened. Look, its not that surprising that prosecutors are having a tough time here. Youre talking about police inaction. Typically in cases where police are on trial were talking about what the police did, they shot someone. And were they justified or not. Here were talking about what Police Officers didnt do, they didnt do enough. They didnt strap him in in a seat belt. They didnt get him medical help. Thats not an easy case to win. With this particular officer because there are others involved and theyre going to be going on trial, but with this particular officer, were the charges perhaps not correct for him . Look, i think and i said this was overly aggressive here that the prosecutor could have and should have across the board considered lesser crimes here in the hope of getting convictions. The danger always when you overcharge is that some jurors look at it and say, wait a second, what. Officer should be sent to prison for doing this . I think thats a concern. The jury may think, yes, he did something wrong but not to the standards of what the charges were. Now this mistrial, what do you think that says about the other trials coming up . I think these will be very tough trials but some are going to be harder than others. Well be watching, dan, thanks. There are new email questions for a member of the obama cabinet. Defense secretary ash carter used a personal account for public business for several months after taking over at the pentagon. He now says that was a mistake and abcs mary bruce is in washington with the story. Good morning, mary. Reporter hi, good morning, george. Defense secretary ash carter admits he made a mistake breaking Defense Department rules by using his personal email for official business even as Hillary Clinton was coming under fire for doing the same thing as secretary of state. Carter has now stopped using the account and even gone further limiting his use of email altogether. The pentagon says carter never sent classified information over the personal account and the secretary is confident his workrelated emails are preserved. Carter now faces this controversy as he visits embarrassment for the white hour, and will likely draw attacks from republicans who say the administration isnt doing enough to safeguard sensitive information. George. Not what they want right now, mary, thanks very much. All right, george. Stocks around the world rising this morning after that big decision from the Federal Reserve raising Interest Rates for the First Time Since the financial crises started. Wall street reacting positively, the dow jumping 224 points and Rebecca Jarvis is here to explain what this all means. Good morning, rebecca. Hi, robin, good morning to you. This impacts all of us and heres how. Its going to get more expensive for anyone who wants to borrow money. That means a new car loan, a new mortgage, your credit cards, they will all cost you a little more. Youre going to see it very first in those credit card bills. Most of us have variable rates. Theyre going up in the next one to two billing cycles so the best thing you can do for yourself here pay off as much of that debt as possible because it will keep getting more expensive as rates rise next year. Robin. Thats the bad news but there right, rebecca . There is good news here, robin. And its the best news for retirees living on a fixed the downside of these 0 Interest Rates. Theyll get paid a little bit more on their savings and cds. Can we expect more rate hikes . We will expect more rate hikes.

Reporter before his sentencing, his legal team said he suffered not from memory loss but from affluenza. Arguing the teen frequently lived the life of an adult in this 4,000squarefoot mansion. The judge giving him what critics called a wrist slap, a decade of probation. I made it clear to the judge that i believe firmly that if he was put on probation, if he was given another slap on the wrist, if he got away with this there was no doubt in my mind he would be back in the system and someone else would suffer. Reporter someone else might be killed by him . Someone else might be killed. He might be killed. Never once apologized for killing those four people. That apparent lack of remorse plus his familys wealth and the authorities to fear that not only has he skipped probation checkins but he might have skipped the country entirely. George.

Blame for most cancer cases.

The Prime Minister in spain was punched in the head by a teenager. You see that . He continued, though, to give his speech despite a swelling face. The teen was later arrested. Finally going way beyond the call of duty, the driver of this tractor trailer in nebraska was having a seizure so a sheriffs deputy zoomed ahead to the left, pulled over. Can you see him there . He dashed across two lanes of traffic and leapt into the moving trucks cab to stop the truck and rescue the driver.
