bill o'reilly on fox news. all signs he did not convince him to take the debate stage. >> take a look at these poll numbers gaining momentum in iowa now at 32%. is trump, though, taking a risk not showing up at tonight's debate. >> or is he keeping his momentum going? that is the big question now. he'll hold his own event in des moines and tweeted out a couple other candidates will join him there as well. both stages set. just four days until the iowa caucuses. it's "your voice, your vote" and we begin with tom llamas in des moines. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george good morning. this gop debate fiasco has turned into a price fight now. snard cruz booked a venue in iowa to debate trump one on one and a super pac says they'll pony up $1.5 million and donate shows up. overnight the gop drama starring donald trump taking wild turns. >> i don't think not showing up at the debate tomorrow night is good for america. >> reporter: first trump appearing on the very network whose debate he's boycotting. >> i was not treated well by fox and i said, you know, how much of this do you take? i have zero respect for megyn kelly. i don't think she's very good at what she does. i think she's highly overrated. >> in your christian faith -- >> reporter: host bill o'reilly turning to the bible suggesting trump channel his christian values and appear at tonight's debate instead of hosting his own event at drake university. >> you know it's called an eye for an eye also. you can look at it that way. >> that's old testament. no, no, no. >> bill, you are taking -- >> if you're the christian, the eye for the eye goes out. here's what it is. turning the other cheek. right here. >> you're taking this much more seriously than i am. >> reporter: asking trump if he's being too sensitive. >> a lot of people thought when a joke, that you're a buffoon. you know it all. but now -- >> i don't think they thought i was a buffoon. what kind of a statement is that? >> reality guy -- >> not a nice way of expressing. no, they thought i wouldn't run. >> reporter: overnight another development. >> in a one-on-one debate mano a mano. >> reporter: the cruz team sending this letter to the trump campaign announcing the duel which reads in part, we owe it to the men and women of iowa. >> so, we have a venue. we have a time all we're missing is a candidate. >> reporter: the trump campaign calling this a desperate attempt to gain more publicity and that the cruz campaign is failing in iowa. i caught up with cruz after his late night rally. you think donald trump is afraid to debate you personally. >> actions speak louder than words. i would welcome him in sioux city saturday night. we have a venue, a town hall and at the end of the day i don't think he's afraid of megyn kelly. people of iowa. doesn't want to answer their questions or defend his record. >> reporter: and as for that $1.5 million in superpac money going to a veterans' charity if trump shows up. the campaign says it's dirty money and they also said they're open to a debate in the country where cruz was born. canada. amy. >> thank you. a lot to talk about on the democratic side, as well bernie sanders and hillary clinton now neck and neck in iowa. a new poll out this morning showing sanders at 45%. that's within three points of hillary, meaning they are statistically tied. abc's jon karl has the very latest from des moines. good morning to you, jon. >> reporter: good morning, amy. with just four days to go until those iowa caucuses, the battle between hillary clinton and bernie sanders is getting heated and personal. overnight before an overflow bernie sanders took this shot at hillary clinton. >> my opponent is not in iowa tonight. she is raising money from a philadelphia investment firm. >> reporter: the clinton campaign hit back noting that hillary also met with nearly 50 african-american ministers from across the country while in philadelphia. clinton called out sanders for his recent attacks on her high speaking fees. >> senator sanders has started to get increasingly personal with his attacks even compared me to dick cheney last week which, you know, is kind of a low blow. >> reporter: earlier in the day sanders was back in washington traveling to the white house to meet with the man he hopes to replace. >> the president and i discussed this morning a number of issues. >> reporter: sanders emerged from the 45-minute meeting predicting he can pull off an iowa upset over clinton. >> if there is a large turnout i think we win. >> reporter: while president obama's pledged he'll remain doing everything she can to >> i don't think president obama gets the credit he deserves. >> thank you all. >> reporter: but there are signs of bernie sanders' momentum everywhere in iowa even at this clinton event in a bowling alley. >> 60% bernie, 40% hillary right now. >> reporter: the clinton campaign is hoping for a boost from bill clinton. the former president will look like a candidate himself. he has 13 campaign events in iowa between now and the caucuses. that's even a busier schedule, george, than hillary clinton. >> my goodness. that's what he loves. jon karl, stand by. i'm here with matt dowd, our political analyst. yesterday you posed the question on donald trump, would his refusal to go to the debate be seen as a sign of strength or weakness. 24 hours later? >> his supporters are sticking with him through thick and thin in the course of this. i don't think that's a problem at this point. it's interesting, everybody that opposes donald thinks it was a bad idea. everybody that supports donald >> at a minimum he's owning the news cycle but poses a bit of a question for fox news, for trump and other candidates. no empty podium at the debate tonight but how do the moderators and other candidates handle trump with him not on the stage. >> this is going to be a fascinating conversation because i think they may talk about trump more now than they did if he was at the debate. i think ted cruz is more disappointed than fox news that donald trump isn't at the debate because i think ted cruz is now behind donald trump. ted cruz needs to start worrying about marco rubio. rubio is starting to gain momentum in iowa. if he isn't careful marco rubio could come up and finish second. >> you talked about the momentum for bernie sanders in iowa right now. but that latest poll out this morning shows hillary clinton with a small lead, basically a dead heat, right now in these final days and he had that meeting with president obama yesterday. he pretty much had to do that after seeming to put on the week. >> the president says he's neutral in this race and couldn't turn down a meeting with bernie sanders. but while hillary clinton has been embracing obama out here it is bernie sanders trying to pull off a replay of what obama did here in iowa eight years ago, owner jazzing young supporters. and pulling off an upset win in iowa over hillary clinton. >> matthew, the clinton campaign has to worry about deja vu. thought they had a lead going into the caucuses eight years ago. >> if they let bernie sanders win iowa he will win new hampshire and then this race totally resets in a different territory than they ever thought. >> matthew dowd and jon karl, thanks very much. to amy. some major developments in that weeks' long standoff in oregon between armed anti-government protesters and law enforcement. overnight police making more arrests as one of the jailed leaders calls on remaining militants to stand down and go home. good morning to you, neal. >> reporter: good morning, amy. even though it's harder to get a handle on what's going on out there at the compound we do know for certain their numbers are definitely beginning to dwindle. this morning, jailed militant leader ammon bundy speaking out through his attorney and making an about-face telling his remaining supporters holed up on federal land to give up and go home. >> i love you. let us take this fight from here. please stand down. >> reporter: overnight the fbi taking into custody three more protesters, each facing one federal felony count of conspiracy. police tightening their grip on the remaining militants now sealed off by heavily armed fbi s.w.a.t. teams at roadblocks eight miles out as we found out when approaching. >> we can't let anyone through this way. >> reporter: police spoke out wednesday but gave no details about how lavoy finicum ended up enforcement, following a traffic stop and sweeping series of arrests along a rural road. the action leaving the occupation's leadership behind bars but at a deadly price. >> didn't have to happen. we all make choices in life. sometimes our choices go bad. >> reporter: the group's supporters claim finicum was murdered while surrendering. >> they shot lavoy literally murdered him and was ambushed. >> but an alleged witness in the convoy says that's not what happened. >> he charged at the law enforcement. he was not on his knees. there was a miscommunication. >> reporter: this morning investigators here are still sorting it all out and conducting a full investigation. out at the compound we have an understanding there are only five militants left raising hopes this long siege may soon be over. george. >> thanks, neal. we turn to the latest on severe birth defect. the alarm level is extremely high and spreading explosively around the world. at least 21 zika cases in the u.s. and we're joined now from the national institute of health. >> indeed, it is because the outbreak in south america particularly in brazil and the caribbean certainly is expanding at an alarming way and the association and, again, geographically with this birth defect when the virus infects pregnant women although the evidence for that not definitive. it's highly suggestive that microcephaly and have you two things, a brand-new pandemic in progress and evolving in the western hemisphere. at the same time that you're seeing these disturbing sequela with this very, very difficult disability. >> spreading in the u.s. as well. ten states right now, how severe is the threat to pregnant women >> well, we're going to see people who visit the areas, the regions in south america and in the caribbean who will come back to the united states and be ill having been bitten by mosquitoes in the region. that's a big difference than people who are spreading the virus locally in the united states. so, thus far, we have not seen local spread except in puerto rico and in the virgin islands. >> finally i know you met with president obama in the white house yesterday. what's the action plan to address the spread of this virus and are the olympics in brazil at risk? >> we spent over an hour and a half with the president in the situation room talking about the plans of the cdc for the kinds of control, the research agenda both at the cdc and the nih, better diagnostic, really an accelerated aggressive approach to developing vaccines with regard to the olympics, what the brazilians are doing and way and the immediate manner to curtail this is that very aggressive vector control and by vector control getting rid of mosquitoes from the standpoint of insecticides but also getting rid of the breeding grounds of mosquitoes, standing water in pots, tires, things like that and the brazilian government is taking a very aggressive approach to do that. >> dr. fauci, thanks for your time this morning. >> good to be with you. >> this is so serious and all of you can get the latest on the zika virus on our site, goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! now to cecilia vega here with today's other top stories. you're starting with another health crisis, this contaminated water in flint. >> that's right. michigan's governor overnight releasing stark new details about the severity of the water crisis in flint saying about 200 children have elevated levels of lead in their blood. it comes as investigators say the lead level in the city's water supply has been trending better but that it is still too dangerous to drink. new details in that los flight forced to return to london. the jumbo jet making an emergency landing after passengers and crew members suddenly got sick. one flight attendant collapsed in the aisle. investigators found no evidence of hazardous substances, airflow contamination may be the cause. and take a look at this, a trucker in jeopardy dangling from an icy pennsylvania hillside is alive thanks to this group of strangers who formed a human chain. more than half a dozen people there holding that big rig steady until they could pull the driver from the smashed cab. and we have an anniversary to mark, the space shuttle

showboat. >> that's an extended celebration if you're an opponent. >> reporter: to immature. but this morning cam newton, the end zone dabbing quarterback of the carolina panthers. champions. >> reporter: is saying the reason behind some of that criticism is the color of his skin. >> i'm an african-american quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven't seen nothing that they can compare me to. >> gets up, skipping along, takes a bow. >> reporter: newton saying wednesday his on-field exuberance is nothing new and that despite the criticism he's staying true to himself. >> i'm doing exactly what i want to do, how i want to do it and when i look in the mirror, it's me. >> reporter: his comments lighting up the internet. some claiming hypocrisy, the end zone dances of white quarterbacks are celebrated. not maligned. while others saying of newton, a prerehearsed dance is never classy regardless of race. the panthers coach saying he identifies with his star player. >> some people want to tag me as a hispanic head coach. i just want to be tagged as a head coach. i don't think he wants to be known as an african-american and a great one at that. >> reporter: for newton he says there's another reason his critics have him in their cross hairs. >> the only thing that changed is we're winning. >> newton stressing he doesn't live for critics or to suit an image, that nobody has changed him. his fans hoping he doesn't change on the field. a super bowl win would make him the third quarterback to win the college national championship and super bowl, guys. >> he's really a target but fun to watch. >> fun to watch and a lot of people say, hey, he's just being himself. >> reminds me of joe namath. >> got to love that he chose number one too. >> to rob.

right here, amy. this is what we call a meta analysis, so these researchers looked at many other studies, many other reviews, they teased through what they thought was data really done with a good method and what they found was that in adolescents and children taking antidepressants, there was a doubling in their risk of aggressive behavior and restlessness. really one of the first times that those two particular end points were studied in a cumulative manner like this. now, there can be flaws with the methodology here, so you really have to take this with a grain of salt, but it brings up what are the risks in this age group with this medication. >> so as a doctor, what do you tell parents in light of this new study if they have a child who is suffering? >> listen, it's a very complex decision-making process. i encourage people, think like a doctor. you want to ask four questions, what are the risks of taking this medication, what are the risks of not taking the medication then you have to ask the flip side, what are the benefits of taking the benefits of not taking the medication and then you have to factor in alternatives like exercise, psychotherapy, a holistic approach and weigh that for the individual. this is not cookie cutter. >> and let me play strong devil's advocate there. there are people who believe children should not be taking these type of medications at all for any reason. how do you respond? >> you can't throw out the baby with the bathwater. here, in fact, we reached out to the american psychiatric association last night that said in the right patient, these medications can be life-saving so this has to be individualized and wrap this in to a mental health professional team approach, parent, child, medical and psychiatric team and make that decision on a case-by-case basis. >> thanks so much. always available taking questions online on twitter. >> over to lara now. here's what's coming up on our "gma morning menu." another big parenting alert this morning. this is about this duct tape challenge the kids are trying. it could be very dangerous. and we're also going inside fellow weight watchers. and then we're counting down to the super bowl with a look at some of this year's really amazing ads. and an old friend, wayne brady, starring on broadway and with us this morning. hello, my dear. we're excited to talk to you. i understand you're doing a little breakfast rap. no eggs included. >> yes.

>> does that work just saying, oh, look, something bad can happen? >> there are a couple of things, parents need to -- one of the things that helps is if you talk to your kids. parents told us that when they have a conversation with their child and it's not talking down more of like, look, this is going on, this is scary, this can happen, their kids respond better and more likely to make better choices. doesn't always work but can work. >> i was telling you harper likes to ride an air mattress down the stairs these days and i'm sort of torn. it's a tiny stair. let her have fun. of course. no postings. she's not allowed to post. >> kids think they're invincible. and that's part of the problem. they don't look at mortality the same way but that's why i think stories like skylar's can be helpful. they're cautionary tales. i looked at this challenge and thought, well, this isn't so bad. not as bad as the cinnamon challenge or surfing on the street but you can see what can happen. if you share what happens, if you show them there can be real consequences to silly things they do. >> duct taping your whole body. what can go wrong?
