supplements and monday for folks who might be traveling back for next week. >> you're just full of good news today. >> okay, 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 language for hillary clinton. jon karl issen 0 the trail. good morning, jon. >> reporter: 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? 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. >> reporter: that you would sponsor -- >> reporter: that's a reference to this moment from the debate. showing videos of donald trump insulting islam and muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists. >> reporter: clinton's campaign is providing 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? >> look, she lies and has been a liar whether e-mails or -- >> reporter: 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 paying 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. 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 not sure they used me at all frankly. >> reporter: he angrily dismissed suggestions he is the republican hillary clinton could beat most eastly. >> when they say they want to run against me that means they don't want to run against me. >> reporter: i saw you tweet about it. >> i did. democrats. they say they would love nothing more to run against you. >> because that's a smart thing for them to say. >> 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. simple. he just read it wrong. crazy the way life works. it will probably end up being a good thing -- all over the world about. >> reporter: trump told me he 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 out. 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 can 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 to you. we're learning this morning that the woman behind the wheel shouldn't have been driving at all. her license had been recently 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 straightforward. >> 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, just didn't add up to who she is. she love her family. she loved her daughter. she loved god. this was just traumatic for everybody. >> reporter: once a resident for oregon working for the forest service for a program designed to help at risk youth she was touted as a case study even receiving a role model award in >> 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 la'keshia 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: there are reports this morning that she changed her name in the last couple of months, now she changed are it to paris paradise morton and, george and lara, you may remember investigators initially said they had a hard time learning about her past and that might be part of the reason why. >> all right, kayna, thank you so much. just does not add up. >> so much promise before. okay, we'll move on to more 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. 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, five people say they got sick after eating at the burrito november. >> i just felt like i take the to eat. 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 here and earlier this 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 this. since this issue began, we have completed a comprehensive reassessment of our food safety programs adding, we're confident that we can achieve i 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 likely is produce. >> exactly and really unfortunate. this was something that was really significant for them that people liked. >> 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 holiday, this morning, we are learning about a man who managed to get on to the runway at jfk in new york city shutting down part

used profanity and said don't say anything and kept walking toward the terminal and disappeared. he 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 the days we live in, we have zero room for error. >> reporter: now this is not the first breach at jfk and it is very concerning for new york politicians, the port authority still looking for this man, looking at closed circuit video to try to figure out where he is and where he went. >> 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

beckham jr. felt threatened by the actions of at least one panther who was carrying a bat and helped incite him. >> reporter: but the panthers denying the slurs and the threats. their spokesman saying bats on the field are tradition and nothing new. panthers players showing others carrying bats saying they're used as motivational tools symbolizing bringing the wood on the field. has appealed the suspension which is expected to be heard wednesday and ruled upon before next sunday's giants game but many, guy, saying that beckham went too far with this and that the punishment wasn't far enough.

embarrassing end to miss universe. people still trying to figure out what went wrong when steve harvey crowned the runner-up. we'll talk to one of the pageant judges, perez hilton will talk to lara, first t.j. holmes with the latest. >> reporter: we got to give steve a break. all these beautiful women and, well, that may describe a typical day at "gma" for you, george, some are saying, the moment might have gotten to him. now we got all these theories out there, a lawsuit pending, people can't accept it. it's maybe is as simple as he made a mistake. >> miss universe 2015 is colombia. >> reporter: how could he make such a mistake? >> i have toapologize. 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 conspiracy theories but this is the most attention the miss since, well, ever. harvey made no excuses and repeatedly and emphatically said it was his fault alone. >> i made a mistake. i didn't read first runner-up on the card. >> niecy nash who posted this 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 says seesaw with her own eyes the teleprompter got it right. >> all the girls saw philippines, you may now take your first walk as miss universe. >> reporter: while both contestants handled themselves with dignity and poise, the mad. the hashtag that translates the crown must be respected is trending and a colombiian law firm says two of its attorneys are filing suit saying the crown is an acquired right that cannot be taken away from us. countrywoman sofia vergara is getting in on the act with a caption that 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, one of the judges. 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. >> 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 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 tele3r0789er 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 fluid. did you get a chance, perez, to >> 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 posting on instagram that 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. >> speaks his mind. >> he sure does. >> keeping it real on tuesday morning. >> perez, we thank you. >> coming up here we'll talk to the u.s. marshal leading the manhunt for the most wanted teen in america for ethan couch and his mother. and little adrian is

mom and u.s. marshals calling it a major case. we'll speak with the marshal leading the hunt. first abc's clayton sandell has the latest. >> reporter: this morning authorities are asking the this ford truck that belongs to ethan couch's mother, tanya. >> we certainly believe they're together. she's helping him and she's assisting him. >> reporter: a u.s. marshals and fbi are now joining the hunt for mother and son. sources close to the investigation telling abc news it's assumed that ethan may try to change his appearance. >> he's not the kind of person that rehabilitates who learns his less on. >> reporter: he was 16 when he killed four people driving drunk in 2013, convicted and sentenced to only probation after an expert testified couch suffered from affluenza, a condition caused by his healthy upbringing preventing him from knowing right from wrong. it is not an officially recognized diagnosis. >> i have never seen a case that sparked such outrage, that sparked such emotion from people. four totally innocent people were taken away in a second by the irresponsible actions of this juvenile. >> reporter: officials say this social media video posted at a party near a beer pong table. the sheriff believes that possible parole violation is what caused couch now 18 to flee. >> but i think that was the trigger that sent him running once that video surfaced. >> reporter: this morning couch's face is on these wanted posters and now a $5,000 reward. >> he belongs in big boy jail, in adult prison. he's always avoided it. maybe let him know money and privilege don't buy you out of every circumstance. >> reporter: for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, ft. worth, texas. >> thanks, clayton. joined by rick taylor, one of the agents heading up the hunt. thanks for joining us this morning. what's the latest? >> well, we've been working over the past several days with tarrant county 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 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 probation? what kind of trouble could she be facing. >> the child charges could be filed against her and tarrant county 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 ha? >> 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 that warrants could come out for anyone that helps them out. >> what should members of the public do if they see either ethan or his mommy 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 should definitely call the tip lines or their local law enforcement literally within minutes of receiving a valid tip, we could have our task 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 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, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> coming up, look who is here, we're going to talk to ginger live. >>

weight of runway models. france just did it that passed a law that bans excessively thin models and public health officials are urging the same for models in the u.s. and reena ninan has more. >> reporter: they are the epitome of glamour, the models that define style and beauty. but now the fashion industry is under fire from critics who say that most models are dangerously thin. >> the modeling industry definitely encouraging women often explicitly so to maintain extreme thin frames. >> reporter: in a strong new editorial from the american journal of public health, expert experts and eating disorder professionals say the industry body standard is hazardous and disorders and body dysmorphia and right runway models are by definition and professional necessity starving to death. they're urging the u.s. to regulate and set a standard bmi, a working model must meet. just last week france passed such a law requiring model to have a doctor's note proving that they are healthy. >> we have statistics such as 70% of adolescents report they define the ideal body image as being what they see in fashion magazines. >> reporter: record says that the average model who makes it big on the international stage has a bmi of 14. 2 points below the world health organization's definition of starvation. she wants a u.s. occupational safety and health administration to require all models to have a bmi of 18 and above. >> a bmi of 14 or below is not naturally skinny. you are at great risk at any time of the day for cardiac arrest. >> reporter: for "good morning america," reena ninan, abc news, >> and joining me now is founder of the model alliance sara ziff, former model, longtime model. what do you think of this idea, legislation for the catwalk. you like it? >> i'm glad this issue is being taken seriously. i think too often models' concerns are 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 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 i in the model alliance support. unfortunately, it's -- we get pushback from different stakeholders in the industry. >> do you think if there was legislation models would say, okay, let's all agree we'll gain "x" amount or internal pressure as an individual to be thin? >> i think that -- the industry is not solely responsible, okay. >> that's what i was -- >> 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 beall end all is on that catwalk. >> and the industry has not been 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. >> thank you for stepping up and speaking out. sara, thank you very much. >> thanks so much. >> george. >> thank you, lara. robin has a big special tonight. her look back at all the big moments that define 2015 and the people who inspired us most. heroes of the year. >> this year, there were no shortages of heroes. or shall we say sheroes. >> 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 kicks 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. >> viola davis, "how to get away with murder." >> reporter: with her win vie ola davis was the first to take home the emmy for her lead role in "how to get away with murder." >> we won because i did my job. 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. >> vie ola davis is proof that talent wins 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 was 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 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. 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. >> some people line up for hours and this family came here and then we put the tree in front of them so

out about her record-breaking success and the challenges of balancing motherhood with her overwhelming fame. the singer resealed her "time" magazine. so why is everyone walking around singing "hello." well, one, because it's really catchy but adele thinks it's because she's not afraid to look like she's falling apart and people can always relate to vulnerability. yeah, i agree with that. as for family life the typically private mom reveries her son has made her feel more purposeful than ever before but be warned she's a lioness when it comes to her son and boyfriend. everyone says that about parenthood. you'll feel immediate purpose. you guys all agree. >> i'd like to know about that songs. has she ever talked about is it she just wants to become friends with an old love. every time i listen to it which is often, on every other song, has she talked about it. >> i don't think she's gone into what it's about. have you noticed when you're driving down the street people windows. >>
