playing do the talking as he gets ready for a huge showdown. and good morning, america. let's keep that how you like me now going. it applies to cam newton. who else does it apply to? donald trump right now. no question bit. what a scene last night. donald trump toe to toe with bill o'reilly on fox news. all signs he did not convince him to take the debate stage. >> take a look at these poll 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 now. 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 to you. this gop debate fiasco has essentially turned into a prize fight. senator ted cruz saying last night heing booed a venue for saturday night in sioux city, iowa, to debate trump one-on-one and superpac says they'll give $1.5 million to a veterans charity if trump 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. 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 hi she's very good at what she does. >> 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. turn the other cheek. right here. >> you're taking this much more seriously than i am. >> reporter: asking trump if he's being too tense tiff. >> a thought thought this was a yoke when you started to run. that you're a buffoon. >> i don't think they thought i was a buffoon. what kind of a statement is that? >> reality guy -- 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. i don't even think he's afraid of me. i think he's afraid of the people of iowa. doesn't want to answer their questions or defend his record. >> reporter: and as for that from that superpac supporting ted cruz if the debate happens between trump and cruz, the trump campaign tells me superpac money is dirty money and the superpac superpacs own ted cruz and open to debating but in canada. >> 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 crowd in mason city, iowa, bernie sanders took this shot at hillary clinton. tonight. 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 neutral in the race clinton is doing everything she can to embrace him. >> i don't think president obama gets the credit he deserves. >> thank you all. >> reporter: but there are signs of bernie sanders' momentum clinton event in a bowling alley. >> 60% bernie, 40% hillary right now. >> reporter: in the final stretch, the clinton campaign is hoping for a big boost from bill clinton, in fact, the former president looks like a candidate himself out here. he has 13 events between now and the caucus. george, that means that bill clinton will actually be doing more campaign events in iowa 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. 4 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 thinks it was a good idea. >> at a minimum he's owning the news cycle but poses a bit of a question for fox news, for trump 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. 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 you hadhe had that meeting with president obama yesterday. he pretty much had to do that after seeming to put on the scale for hillary earlier in the week. >> yeah, in the timing was interesting bringing him off the had to come out and show he is keeping by his vow that he will be neutral in this race even though clearly the clinton campaign believes that if you went into that secret ballot that president obama would be voting for his former secretary of state. >> 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. abc's neal karlinsky is in burns, oregon, with the latest. 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 seriously beginning to dwindle. this morning, jailed militant leader ammon bundy speaking out through his attorney and making an go-face telling his remaining support ersers holed up on federal land to give up and go home. >> i love you. here. >> 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 shot to death by law enforcement, following a traffic stop and sweeping series of arrests along a rural road. the action leaving the occupation's leadership behind >> 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 convey says that's not what happened. >> 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 reports of perhaps as few as five militants left raising hopes that this long siege could soon be over. george. >> thanks, neal. we turn to the latest on that zika virus linked to a severe birth defect. there are now at least 21 zika cases in the u.s. across ten states, the world health organization is addressing the spreading cyrus today and joined now by dr. anthony fauci from thank you for joining us this morning. you're calling this a pandemic in progress. >> 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 there is this association with micro 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 in pregnancy of infants born with this very, very difficult disability. yeah. >> spreading in the u.s. as well. ten states right now, how severe is the threat to pregnant women here? >> well, we're going to see people who visit the areas, the 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 planning is probably the best way and the immediate manner to curtail this is that very 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

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 don't think he wants to be known as an african-american quarterback but as a quarterback and a great one at that. >> reporter: for newton he says there's another reason his >> 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 feel. a super bowl win would make hip 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
