good morning, america. major shakeup. newt gingrich surges as herman cain bows out. can mitt romney do anything to stop newt in the final countdown to the first votes? bitter battle. mindy mccready's fight for her son. why her father says zander belongs with her? miracle meal. a car smashes into a crowded restaurant all caught on tape. how everyone survived this stunning crash landing. even the man caught right on the hood. a "w" for tiger woods for

the first time in more than two years! >> we remember that fist pump. tiger woods back in the winner's circle. is this the beginning of his comeback? >> first victory anywhere in two years, three weeks. a fog on a monday morning. >> a little eerie here in times square. >> hope everyone had a good weekend. a growing military mystery. iran claiming it shot down one of the u.s.'s most advanced spy planes. is top secret intelligence in iranian hands? >> they've claimed. haven't shown anything yet. check this out. this could be the most expensive car crash ever.

eight ferraris, a lamborghini, two mercedes, even a prius. they were all speeding on major highway side by side. >> i love how you add the prius in there. and a rare interview with angelina jolie. and why she stepped behind the camera for her new movie. we begin with politics. herman cain is out. and newt gingrich has the edge and getting his endorsement. newt is on top in iowa and closing in on mitt romney in new hampshire. john berman has more. good morning, john. >> reporter: good morning, george. less than a week until the crucial abc news debate. the entire republican race literally just got under the up side down. he might look like he's on top of the world, but more

importantly, he's on top of iowa. in just a month, he's gone from fifth to first in iowa. today, his once broke campaign is launching his first ad there. >> yes, working together we can and will we build the america we love. >> reporter: his meteoric rise, the perfect wind to a cataclysmic fall. >> with a lot of prayer and soul searching, i am suspending my presidential campaign. >> reporter: cain's departure creating a whole new race. or more specifically, a whole thank you bunch of races. the field versus newt. >> i think they have to make a decision based upon the person's entire record. and certainly, character counts. >> reporter: if republicans are ganging up on gingrich, it's

still the president's team versus mitt romney. >> if you don't like where he is today, wait until tomorrow. >> reporter: that's miles from the man hugs that the president's men gave gingrich. >> he's man with expansive thoughts and ideas that he expresses widely. we'll see how that plays. >> reporter: the final race, comics versus disappearing material. you can tell they'll miss herman cain. >> come on, i'm innocent until proven guilty. if i can't have that, amay as well go on and move to lamibia. >> reporter: i wout could be gingrich with the most to gain. he's the leading second choice for voters there. newt in new york today meeting with none other than donald trump. >> let's get more on where this

goes next with jake tapper. let's begin with herman cain dropping out. there will be a race for his endorsement. he and newt gingrich are close. >> they are friends. i expect eventually, the cain endorsement will go gingrich. i don't think that will happen anytime today. they have a similar appeal, similar base. the tea party voters. they had the lincoln-douglas-style debate a few weeks ago. >> how about mitt romney. he'll have to adjust the strategy. he'll have to take on newt gingrich. started to over the weekend in a press conference. >> reporter: that's right. he distanced himself from comments that gingrich made about repealing child labor laws, teach inner city kids about the value of work. romney will go after gingrich more directly. i talked to romney aids over the weekend.

they view the threat of gingrich differently from other former previous republican flavors of the week. gingrich is a more known quantity. they plan to go after him in a couple of ways. one of them about electability. making the case that mitt romney is far more likely to be able to take the fight to barack obama on the message of the economy. where as newt gingrich, as agto more difficult time. >> meanwhile, former speaker gingrich says he'll stick to a positive campaign. he'll focus it on president obama. there will be no 30-second attack ads against my friends. do you think he can stick to that? >> it will be tough. one of the romney advisers said, if he's still maintaining momentum, the decision will be made to take the fight to him.

if he doesn't fight back, how will he fight back against the democrats. telling republican primary voters if gingrich can't fight back, he's going to have $1 billion of democrat money dropped on him. >> for now, at least, the white house and democrats training all of the fire on romney. don't appear to with taking newt gingrich too seriously yet. >> no, not at all. nay actually -- the obama advisers were praising newt gingrich. i think the only way to look at this is that the white house and the democratic party think mitt r romney is the most perilous threat. >> jake, thank you very much. and diane sawyer and i will be in iowa for the next big republican debate. saturday night, 9:00 eastern,

6:00 pacific. we'll moderate just three weeks before the first votes. >> you'll have so much to talk about. now, to another developing story. could one of america's most cutting edge spy planes be in enemy hand this is morning? iran claims it shot down a supersecret drone. they're threatening to retaliate. if that's true, the bigger threat could be from the secrets that the drone might reveal. what's the deal here? >> reporter: still no images coming out of iran that prove they have the drone. but u.s. officials admit one is missing. they're assuming it crossed the border into iran. not shot down but crashed or landed in tact in iran. what is most disturbing is that they're claiming it is the

rq-170. a supersecret stealth drone. the american government won't confirm that the classified program exists. they believe it crashed in iran or could land in tact. >> they think it may be the case. if it is true, what kind of information could they glean from it? >> well, there are provisions built into drones to protect sensitive technology. it can be erased. if this is a stealth drone, the skin itself can be used to duplicate technology. pakistan reportedly leet china look at a helicopter shot down in the bin laden raid. now to the latest in the penn state child sex abuse scandal. former coach jerry sandusky has prompted new outrage by telling

his story to "the new york times." jim avila is here with the details. >> reporter: good morning, george. the former penn state coach on camera telling anyone who will listen, i'm not the monster people have alleged me to be. jerry sandusky has been seen often around his state college house. now he's been heard for a second time, proclaiming his innocence and trying to explain his, at the very least, odd behavior with children. the behavior, prosecutors charge, amounts to years of molestation. >> these allegations are false. i didn't do those things. >> reporter: sandusky submitting himself to a four-hour interview. some of it, his response to bob costas.

>> are you sexually attracted to young boys? >> if i say no, i'm not attracted to young boys, that's not the truth. i'm attracted to young people, boys, girls -- >> yeah, but not sexually. you enjoy spending time with them. >> that's what i was trying to say. i enjoy spending time with young people. i enjoy spending time with people. >> reporter: he described a closeness many find hard to justify and understand. >> the environment was family like. all the times were precious times. they were significant times. >> these were quote precious moments for him. in fact, they were the most vile, horrendous, unspeakably horrible moments for his victims. >> reporter: the new york times reporter who shot down with him, joe becker, said he seemed uneasy in the interview.

but not suicidal. >> it's dawning on him what the situation is he's in. >> reporter: why is he doing this? his attorney says, it may be unorthodox. but he needs to counter with sandusky's version. so any potential juror out there gets both sides. >> i guess. but he doesn't seem to be hemming himself. let's get headlines. josh elliott in this morning. >> hope you had a great weekend. we'll begin with the u.s. postal service on the brink. today, they'll announce unprecedented cost-cutting measures. under the plan, next day delivery will no longer be the goal for regular mail half the mail-sorting facilities will close. it may mean the elimination of 100,000 jobs. a critical week as european leaders grapple with the debt crisis there.

as one paper put it, europe has five days to find a solution or the european union will collapse. in attendance, u.s. vice president, joseph biden. and the occupy protests in the line of sight of the white house turned violent this weekend. protestered said the structure built was a temporary place to stay warm. in college football, it will be lsu and alabama. a rematch that some fans didn't want to see. maybe they wanted a playoff. meanwhile, in oklahoma, two people remain hospitalized after a riot that followed the defeat of oklahoma on saturday. this dangerous situation plays out time and again when they take down the goal posts. 13 people were hurt. meanwhile in san diego, diners watched in horror as a car plowed through a restaurant's front window,

heading straight toward them. surveillance cameras caught the entire episode. abbie boudreau has been looking at the video. >> reporter: watch as this car suddenly jumps the curb and plows through the front of the restaurant. >> i heard the noise of the tire. immediately broken glasses. the scheme of the ladies. >> reporter: hitting man that was walking out the door. throwing him several feet. >> he got pushed into the door and thrown back toward the sh showcase and landed on the floor. >> reporter: look at this view. luckily, the driver veered to the right. the owner of the restaurant, raj patel was in the kitchen when he heard the car smash through the store front. >> another two ladies in the middle. that table went flying. the two people went flying into

the garbage that was there. >> reporter: the man who was struck walked away with only a few scratches. no one else was injured. not even the driver. she tells police she apparently hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, los angeles. a pricy pileup on the japanese highway. is it the most expensive crash ever? the lead driver lost control in the rain. you're looking at what is left of eight ferraris, three mercedes, a lamborghini and as george pointed out, a prius. damage, $4 million. carry the four. i was unaware math was part of the program. >> priuses are cars too. >> do you hear that laughter?

sam champion is back. >> aw. >> thank you, josh. good morning, everybody. there is so much fog on the eastern seaboard. likely, you'll be delayed. that's our view. you're down to zero visibility from richmond through dover. dch d.c. is part of it. here's where the big rain is falling. houston to dallas, a lit bit of rain. we have to talk about what is coming in behind that rain. little rock, paducah, there's what's behind the rain. dallas, you get a little bit of snow in the mix there. mixed in with the rain. you'll see it. abilene this morning, to santa fe, getting heavy snow. this week, the santa anas have kicked up. now you're back to

60-mile-an-hour winds plus.

>> this is likely to be the biggest problem on the board today. it's the slow air travel. we're 15 degrees above more mall. everybody likes that. >> can you tell we decorated while you were away? >> it look like a christmas cave. now to the big win for tiger woods. cheers erupted as he scored his first victory in two years. josh was following the moments. it was intense. >> and on an nfl sunday, suddenly you were toggling back and forth. one tournament win for player who had won dozens in years past. yesterday in los angeles, was no ordinary sunday for tiger woods. [ crowd cheers ]

>> and there it is! a "w" for tiger woods for the first time in more than two years! >> reporter: and with that six-foot birdie putt, a champion once again. >> how you would describe it? >> it feels awesome. whatever it is. >> reporter: a feeling he hadn't experienced for 749 days. with his win and signature fist pump, he had made a triumphant return to form. >> a picture perfect day. >> reporter: the past two years have been a scandalous blur for woods. a crash, a public cheating scandal, a divorce from his wife. >> i'm deeply sorry for my deeply irresponsible behavior. >> reporter:ed that had the damage he had done to a once impenetrable image irreparably

dajd his career. >> god, tiger. >> reporter: but for one day, woods seemed a picture of what he once was, rather than what he had become. >> i pulled it off with one down, two to two. to go birdie, birdie is as good as it gets. >> if you watched the last 18 months or so. he was 281 consecutive weeks the best player in the world. now, maybe he's back for next year. lee westwood, and rory mcilroy, both won yesterday as well. next season could be very interesting. >> very exciting. coming up here, the family fight over country singer mindy mccready's son, her father says he should stay with her. and gary giordano. he speaks again. and why the palace is forced

country singer mindy mccready caught right in the middle of a family fight over who should take care of her son. not everyone her father and mother can agree on who should have custody of zander. >> he's the spitting image of her. more this morning from gary giordano. >> he talked with dan harris on sunday. and a rare conversation with superstar angelina jolie. talking with our christiane amanpour. but first, the latest on

mindy mccready. she is seven months pregnant with twins. she'll be appearing in court this morning. yunji de nies has the latest. good morning, yunji. >> reporter: good morning, george. she's expected to be in court this morning. they're trying to decide if her son should be returned to florida. 5-year-old zander is in foster care this morning after authorities found he and his mother hiding in a closet in this empty house. the fbi put out this alert on what they called a parental abduction after taking the boy from his grandfather's house in florida. >> was this really an abduction? i think that's the heart of the issue. >> reporter: the troubled country star who appeared last

year on "celebrity rehab" is in a bitter battle to regain custody of her son. in a visit last week, she took zander and left the state. despite a court order, she refused to return him to his legal guardian because she says, he's been abused. >> mindy says we have abuse d hr son and skye. >> she gets away with telling the lice and does something like that. i don't understand how she can get away with it. >> reporter: but mccready's father, who is divorced from her mother, says he should be with mindy. >> you ask him. he's most comfortable with his mom. >> reporter: depeending on what the judge decides later, zander could be back in florida by tend of the day. meanwhile, mindy mccready could

face felony charges and criminal trespass charges as well. now to the latest on gary giordano. he spoke out again on sunday to our dan harris here on "gma," that, after his appearance on "gma" on thursday. leading to more questions about the moment when robyn gardner disappeared. dan has the latest. >> reporter: since his release from jail in aruba last week, gary giordano has been on a high-profile, hotly contested media tour playing out on "good morning america." >> they want to know if you had anything to do -- >> absolutely not. >> reporter: on thursday morning in an exclusive interview with robin roberts, he came out with guns blazing. >> i'm not prepared to go from the moment of the day to the end of the day. >> reporter: refusing to answer basic questions about the day

his traveling companion disappeared. >> i'm not going to sit here and answer something that i have answered repeatedly. >> reporter: and a new theory. >> aruba has two main sources of income. it's not tourism. it's cocaine and human trafficking. >> there's a whole lot of things i have questions about. >> reporter: gardner's boyfriend has questions. >> he doesn't show remorse. >> reporter: and his lack of specificity. >> what is the big question you want answered? >> um -- where's robyn? >> reporter: so on sunday, he returned to "gma." what happened. >> at some point, i became distressed. found out i had a problem coming back to shore. and robyn was, i thought, behind me. and she wasn't.

>> reporter: and about human traffickers. walk me how that would work. a boat of traffickers would pull up, pull her out of the water. >> i don't know how that would work. >> reporter: then why did you bring it up? >> um -- >> reporter: he addressed his flat affect. >> i believe i was emotional. >> reporter: but only about yourself. not about robyn gardner. >> no one has requeasked me. about how i feel, i do miss her. >> reporter: do you. do you miss her? >> i do miss her. i think i'll see her again. haven't come to sps with

she's gone. >> reporter: for "good morning america," dance harr harris, ab new york. >> let's bring in dan abrams and michael welle michael welner. dan, what is your take? >> i think it was a smart move for him to go public. he ought to be putting his side forward. everyone has this wrong. he's able to explain the insurance. exactly what happened. to go on and be so belligerent and atag niz the people doing the interview doesn't help him. i'm not sure it helps him. >> you think, michael, there is a reason. people watching both interviews say there is no emotion. i have answered this 50, 60

times, i don't want to do it again. >> i feel more careful about interpreting how someone is behaving. it's rehearsed. i think that affects the emotion that you see as well. he's thinking about the attorney next to him. i don't think people in america recognize what it's like to be sitting here and talking and recognizing how many people are listening to you and have your freedom jeopardized at the same time, realizing you have so much freedom hanging on every word. i think the pressure affects that. >> but that's the attorney's job. to make sure he -- and he was totally unrehearsed. think he should have spent more time talking about his answers, how he would respond. it seemed to me that his lawyer did not prepare him at all or

prepared him terribly. >> those are some of the questions you asked. if you hit the boundaries of something he didn't prepare for, perhaps you touched -- if you hit the raw nerve of giordano, he goes off the script. perhaps going off the script is what got us here in the first place. >> sometimes it was not what he said but how he said it. many people are saying, if i'm accused of something and i didn't do it, i would say it a million times. people don't understand why he would say, well, you know, he's talked about it so often that that could be an issue. >> there's just no sadness. again, this is not to suggest and dr. welner can talk more to what is typical and what is not. to the public perception point of view, there was a sense of -- there was no remorse. let's assume exactly what

happened is what he said happened. he was still with someone he brought to aruba who died in the water, according to him, got washed away. that was a wuz the last time he saw her. that is an incredibly sad, horrifying event. rather than being upset, he seems angry. >> i don't think you're going to see that here. i appreciate the point. but when you have gone through interrogation, you're to national television exposure, you're in a bunker. my own experience with defendants that are guilty. they've been very packaged. the only time you access the remorse of people that are capable of it. we can't tell. he may not be capable of it. you only access that remorse when it's all done. >> then he should have not gone public. >> that's another point. >> if he's not able to do that, i don't think he should have

spoken publicly at all. >> good point. well taken. we've talked about what happened when she went missing. if something happened, looking at the principals, the most likely explanation is a rejection sensitivity as motive. you have giordano with a history of domestic violence complaints. people should be understanding, what were the triggers that inspired the complaints against him from multiple women? how did they play out in the relationship he had with gardner. we may know more if we reconstruct their life together rather than their last moments together. >> nothing has been said that will lead aruban authorities to want him to come back? >> nothing said in the interviews. he's not offering details that i would think are any different.

he's been interviews again and again and again and again. he's remained consistent many his stories. >> dan, michael, thank you. let's get back to sam. good morning, robin. good morning, everyone. god morning, philadelphia. it's foggy there. anywhere from d.c. north that you have skies like this. that means airport delays. we're so warm this time of year. 60, of 6, yeah, it feels good. you'll have a foggy start. that will delay the airports. a lot of the airplanes come through the northeast. here's the mess. the cold air behind the rain. rain from east texas
