Standoff in oregon as the leader of the antigovernment occupation tells his followers to go home. Urging quicker action against the zika virus. A hockey player slams into an official sending him into the the player claims it was accidental. The league may see things differently. From nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today. Its a thursday morning. Do we need an instant replay. This is the calgary flames. We will have more on that in just a moment. Our top story on a thursday morning, the donald trumpless Republican Debate hours away. It is adding a new wrinkle to the already wild race. We have it covered with peter alexander. Reporter this will be the venue for tonights debate with or without donald trump. A source familiar with the situation tells nbc news that fox news ceo reached out to trump through the women in his life trying to see whether his decision to skip the debate is a done deal. Donald trump betting he is bigger than fox news. Be in des moines tonight but not touting a special event for veterans. Late wednesday trump defended his boycott on fox news. They came out with this ridiculous pr Statement Like drawn up by a child. I said how much of this do you take. Begged the billionaire to reconsider, appealing to his appetite and christian faith. Forgive, go forward, answer the questions, look out for the folks. Just want you to consider it. Trump refusing to back down. Even though you and i had an me that, which we did, i will therefore forget that you asked me that. If gentle donald cannot handle megyn kelly reporter ted cruz hasnt given up on his dual even naming a time and place. The men and Women Deserve to look the candidates in the eye and have us answer questions. Whether we are in fact conservatives or saying what is expedient to get laegted. Reporter Chris Christie calling trumps move a mistake. I think anytime you get a podium and a microphone and 15 to 20 Million People watching in an Election Campaign you should take it. Reporter jeb bush telling reporters i have a 20 bet he shows up. Rushing to defense, rush limbaugh. He knows he is owning the entire event by not showing up. Reporter he praised megyn debate trump was trying to host now going viral. Do you think you are a better moderator than i am . I could never beat you. That would not be close. You have done a great job, by the way, and i mean it. Reporter obviously that relationship has gone south since. Our new poll shows trump in first place ahead of ted cruz in iowa by seven points. His lead in New Hampshire closer to 20 points. Remember no nonincumbent republican president has ever won iowa and New Hampshire. Sident has ever won iowa and New Hampshire. Lets bring in Nicole Wallace who served as an adviser to the mccain palin campaign. Do you think donald trump has a change of heart and shows up tonight . I would say maybe before the if he is not there physically, will he be there as a presence in some sense . When you are up as far as he is in the polls you are always going to be there. They are all still running against him. Isnt the lunacy of this donald trump says he is angry over that statement that fox news put out a couple of days ago saying it sounded as it was written by a child and mocked him. This is donald trump, running an entire campaign on mocking people and using childish words like loser. Megyn kellys original sin in the mind of donald trump is she asked him if he was a war against women. What is interesting to me is that donald trump is engaged in a hot war against fox the universal consensus is it is show of strength but i think it start evaluating him as commander in chief. On the fox side, she has been victimized by the words of donald trump over the last six months. How do you think she must feel watching bill oreilly trying to get donald trump to give them forgiveness . Probably a Twilight Zone point in her career. She is tough. I think the fact that fox news stood by her is an important one. I think all women in the work place would hope their work place would stand by them. This is the highest stakes war he has started and im not sure if he will win in the end. If you love trump you love and plenty of people do. If you dont like trump it is the sliver gets bigger should he emerge as the republican appeal to a general electorate it will have to change the way he combats people he doesnt agree with. Enemy combatant because she dared to ask him a question he didnt like. This is a vulnerability, not a strength. You said donald trump will be there whether physically or not. Doesnt this change the focus to ted cruz . Arent the other candidates on that stage going to level their attacks on him . They might but the other campaigns, i checked in with all of them last night, they are barely concealing their enthusiasm for a debate not dominated by questions for trump. Trump had the best moment of his the last campaign. It is a missed opportunity for trump and one the other campaigns are looking forward to. Thanks very much. Nice to see you. There is a bit of debate drama on the democratic side, as well. Should more be added. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders are weighing in as their race in iowa gets closer. Andrea mitchell is in des moines this morning. Reporter right you are, there is a debate over debate from a democratic side. Well get to that in a moment. With just four days to go our on the democratic side here in iowa. Now it all depends on whose i will work my heart out for you. Reporter our new nbc news poll has Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders virtually tied in iowa. You are going to have to fight and that is what this campaign is about. Lead over sanders, 48 to 45 . I know i have be a better president because of what ive reporter during an interview, president obama praised clinton. On wednesday sanders got his own meeting with the president afterwards telling Lester Holt Obama promised to stay neutral. Indicated it is up to the voters. Reporter sanders has a crushing 19 point lead over clinton in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire union leader and msnbc proposed one more debate, not sanctioned by the democratic party. Clinton tells Chris Matthews she will show up if sanders does. The Sanders Campaign proposed three more debates saying if the Clinton Campaign would commit to this schedule we would ask the she is raising money from a philadelphia investment firm. Reporter the Clinton Campaign released this photo showing the candidate meeting with faith leaders before attending the Investment House fundraiser. And today clinton is headed back to iowa for the final push before the caucuses. Today the Washington Post Editorial Board has slammed Bernie Sanders policy proposal saying they are his own brand of fiction. Thank you so much. By the way, we are taking the show on the road for the iowa caucuses. We will be live in des moines next monday as voters get set to cast their votes. We have new developments on the occupation of federal wild life refuge in oregon. Three new arrests overnight. Now the groups leader who was arrested a couple of days ago is down and go home. Nbcs joe fryer has more. Reporter the fbi has set up checkpoints. Eight militants have left. The rest were allowed to leave freely which means the armed occupation is quickly shrinking. The antigovernment activists are getting a message from their jailed leader ammon bundy. To those at the refuge, i love you. Let us take the fight from here. Reporter the number of militants is dwindling as Law Enforcement sets up road blocks and check points. It is time for everybody in this illegal occupation to move on. Reporter 11 of the groups leaders are behind bars. They took control of the refuge demanding the release of fires on federal land. This week the militants were during a violent confrontation of authorities that ended in the death of occupier Lavoy Finicum. They had ample opportunity to as the fbi and our partners demonstrated actions are not without consequences. Reporter investigators offered few details but a senior Law Enforcement official tells bank and finicum emerged with a firearm and was shot and killed. Mark mcconnell says he was at the scene and while he didnt see the shooting he was told by a witness that finicum charged police. Conflicting accounts are hands were in the air. The rancher was remembered in a candlelight vigil. This morning it is unclear how many militants remain at the refuge. Because of the checkpoints no new members can join and anyone who leaves cannot return. Thanks. Thousands of people who come to rely on their local Walmart Store will have to find somewhere else to shop. Closing more than 150 stores. This is going to have a big impact. It will be very tough. A lot of places where walmart hires hundreds of people and often small local stores are put out of business. Some of those walmarts are closing leaving people unemployed and residents with no place to shop. Reporter it is devastating for a lot of people. Right now many are the only grocery and pharmacy around. And in some places closing the desert. When you dont have the transportation or the means to get to where you need to get to it will hurt. Reporter the pain will be widespread. Walmart is shutting down 154 stores in 27 states and puerto rico creating food deserts in three states, alabama, arkansas and kansas. They are packing up and leaving the town high and dry. Renee smiths family owned a Small Grocery store in oriental. Walmart came to oriental forcing her to board up her store. Now walmart is closing and many residents are bitter. They knew they were leaving. It has been within three months. Reporter it is a similar story in many towns. In italy, texas where the towns closing today. Why go to expense of building a building and then all of a sudden reporter a spokesman from walmart said we never want to walk away from the opportunity to serve customers. We share the communitys disappointment. I dont like it at all. It makes it inconvenient. I love this store. Walmart says it is committed to opening 300 stores in the socalled food desert areas and exceeded that goal but that wont do much for people in the towns where they are closing up shops and leaving. Thank you. The Michigan Legislature spending bill today aimed at getting the lead out of flints drinking water. Rachel maddow hosted a town hall.

Now to more on the alarming concerns over zika. Word of emergency meeting by the World Health Organization one day after president obama called for swifter action against the virus. We heard the World Health Organization say the threat is explosive. Seems like alarm bells are ringing everywhere. In reality this has been brewing for some time. This mosquito borne virus that had the first start in the 1940s and made a slow and quicker migration from africa to asia to and i think the urgency is really that this link to small brain and Significant Impact on newborns is so powerful and so concerning that i think its lending credence to this concern right now. Absolutely. Lets get to some of the myths and fact and fiction. How is it transmitted . It is transmitted not from person to person but rather through a mosquito bite. An infected person when the virus is circulating in their blood has to get bitten by a mosquito that acts as a vector that infects somebody else. There are case reports of suspicion that there might be some person to person contact through sexual contact. The main mode of transmission is the mosquito bite. One thing people believe is that all women of child bearing age are at risk. The way we understand it infected the symptoms last a couple days up to a week. After that period of time you are no longer able to transmit to a child. I think the recommendation for most of us is if you are traveling to a country like this and you are a woman planning to become pregnant after you return you should wait at least a week or a few weeks to ensure that an asymptomatic infection has not occurred. Sexual contact, this is saying there are at least two that we are aware of where there might have been transmission via sexual contact and there is also reports that the viral can be found in urine and saliva as well as semen. The main mode of transmission is via mosquito bite. Are these mosquitos already the mosquitos themselves are here as of today we have not had any locallyacquired infections. That means that the mosquito is in the United States particularly in the gulf coast, Southeast Area as well as southern california. None of the mosquitos here to our knowledge have been infected with the zika virus. Travelers who are bitten can transmit the virus to other people and that is how it can spread. The type of mosquitos that could carry it are here but we dont have mosquitos shown to have the virus right now. Men, we hear a lot about women, should men be concerned . The main concern is just transmission if they get infected they can transmit. Possible link of zika virus to an illness which could be treated. In that regard it is a concern but remember that the vast majority of people infected with zika virus are asymptom attic and it is usually joint pain, fever. Coming up next a new body for barbie .

Heres something we dont say every day on a news segment. Breaking news. Time magazine has Just Announced that mattel is today you can buy her in curvy, petite, and tall form. You still have the option to buy a body similar to, well, their bodies. They hope these barbies will more closely reflect the young owners worlds. Love that. Seems smart. Mattel has been hurting so this is a necessary move. It seems like its something theyve been talking about for decades that shes unrealistic. The American Girl doll, you can buy a closeness. I wonder if you put the dolls in front of young girls in the market, which would they go for. Which do they go for . Does the 7yearold go for the curvy doll or do the adults buy them for him. Whats going to happen with ken . Hes cut also. Weve all had bad do you take time to fly to the airline . I always say im going to do and i never do. I have passively aggressively tweeted. You do . Yes. Heres an app that does your complaining for you. Its called service. You tell them what your complaint is against the airline. If they think youre justified, theyre going to take on the business for you. Once you filed your complaint, you can just hang tight to wait to see how things shake out, however, if the employee for the service doesnt think theyre in the right, theyre just going to empathize with you. Theyre going to offer you emotional support. Win win. They say most complaints they receive are filed toward airlines. And for now the app is free. How is that possible . Whats in it for them . Maybe theyre hoping that it catches on and they might charge for the service because it sounds like a great service. Its a bunch of people who can you imagine working there . All day long just complaining. You know what thats terrible that that happened to you. You guys do you think that the stores that have the most lenient return policies would get the most returns, right . Make sense . Logical. Well, a study from the university of texas found that the more lenient a policy the store was, the less likely they were likely to return items or ask for a refund. They say this is due to what they say is the endowment effect. Thats the theory that the longer we possess something, the more value. So in other words if we dont wear the shirt, weve had it for so long, we dont return it. I think for me its just laziness. I have forever to return it. Im embarrassed to return things. I think i would be more likely to keep it the more used you say, whatever. How about this one. An upandcoming pga golfer Thomas Peters poked some fun. First im going to show you pictures.

This morning impact on the relationships. Recent survey found people check their phones up to 150 times a day. How long do you think you could we talk, text, look at pictures and share it on media. So how long you do think you could last without your smartphone . Meet one woman who dared to do the unthinkable. Kind of looking at it routinely, every second. I dont have it dinging necessarily, but im kind of looking at it constantly, updating it, checking it. A freelance writer and mother of two from brooklyn, new york, says her cell phone was if i took a run i would stop and take pictures and put them see if anybody liked it on phone she took a bold step. Stephanie, you actually gave up your phone . Are you crazy . Well, at first i thought, oh, no. Then i thought, wait. I dont have to deal with my phone. What if i just gave it up. Its a movie many would never even consider. In a recent survey, nearly half of smartphone owners say their phone was something they couldnt live without. I think the technology is affecting every aspect of who we are. Sherry turkle says its impacting all our lives and shes giving us a wakeup call. She says we can communicate insays enltsly but are afraid of conversations. We text rather than talk. The result, even though were constantly communicating, were barely connecting. Facetoface conversation, empathy is born, intimacy is born. These are the skills that allow you cant just skip that. What have you learned and observed about how were relating to each other when technology is right there at the table . Youre saying that your attention is potentially elsewhere. Your vibration away from going there and that its a very real possibility you can go there. Harmful, too, when kids cant imagine being bored. Boredom is your imagination calling to you. This is really the flowering of childrens imagination, and weve said, dont bother with that. Heres a screen. But that screen which can cause so much controversy, can also help many of us do our jobs. My mornings can look like this or this. And like so many other working parents, im truly thankful for technology in moments like this. And that is one of the main struggles Steph Thompson faced when she tried to give up her cell phone. She was in the house because of the home phone, so that was really hard to get in touch with her. Her friends even resorted to extreme measures. I didnt even know she had a house phone number. I just had her on cell phone quick. I ended up knocking on her door. I had to come over and ring her bell to get her. And so stephs cell phonefree experiment of 2016 came to an end after two weeks. Im not going back to no technology. I dont think thats the answer. Its hard toor er to go places. If i dont get back with you within two seconds, thats okay. The world will still spin around on two axis. It decreases our empathy, our ability to connect. Just the specter of having it there has an effect. She said youre missing out on moments to be creative. That resonated with me. Her discussion about instant reply. People believe if you dont reply within seconds something is wrong. Thats crazy. Tomorrow were going to good morning, im cheryl preheim. Here is what is coming up on d. U.

Put that on the loop. When that resurfaced yesterday i was like that right there. If you feel since then she has not treated him well. She is allowed to drop the mic on what he said or she can just buy him a milk shake. That solves everything. I love vanilla but i put chocolate on it. Old school vanilla. French vanilla is delicious. How can you knock a vanilla milk shake . I love america. Thats why. America likes chocolate. Crazy hit in an nhl game. Not something wetypically see.

He sits down on the bench and then watch his face. He might be a great guy, a great player. He pushed him. If he did that on purpose he is not very smart. You can be a smart person and have a bad moment out of anger. He makes a propelling motion forward. I dont think anyone is that dumb to lay out a ref in professional sports. We saw a player trip a guy. He is probably a smart guy but had a dumb moment. Watch what happens live with andy cohen. Asked about the biggest anger disagreement on set. You had a disagreement.

Nbcs medical contributor is here to help us sort out fact and fiction when it co to common winter myths and old wives tales. Good morning. We are going to hit it running. Number one, cold air gives you a cold . False. Good job. Common misconception. Especially the whole idea of make sure your head is covered only about 10 of your body heat is lost through your head. Ie idea where it has to do with surface area. It is not that the head is exposed but how much skin is exposed. Are we wasting money on hats . One of the issues is that more viruses and more colds circulate in the winter time so people tend to get sick more frequently in winter but has nothing to do with the cold temperature. Exercising in the cold is good for you, true or false . False. Any weather is good for you. That is really the answer. So it is definitely not bad for you. Why do you think it is bad for you . Because i dont like it. I didnt think that would be the most scientifically based answer. The answer is that any place you exercise inside or outside is good for you. There is an idea that maybe exercising outside because you warm when you can burn more calories and exert more energy. It does hurt going down. For some people it could trigger asthma. You can ha aller in the winter true or false . People are inside. You can get dust mites, mold. We know people in the spring and summer are exposed to pollen but there are indoor allergies. Absolutely. You can take them all year round. Number four and i gave this answer. You cant get this wrong. You lose most body heat through your head. Were you listening . False. So my apologies. It has nothing to do with the fact that the head is exposed. Skin that is exposed. For argument sake that you went out with a hat, a scarf and gloves and your underwear you would be colder than if you had your head uncovered because your legs are exposed. Has nothing to do with catching a cold. Nothing to do with catching a cold. A weird riddle. The flu shot gives you the flu . True. No. I thought you got the flu virus put in you . It is an inactivated dead virus. You cannot get the flu from the flu shot. Look at you guys. They are giving you dead virus protein that your body has a reaction to. That sickness is a vaccine reaction. You know how kids get vaccine reactions. Im getting another opinion on this, with all due respect. And that is the end of the here we go. Thank you.
