Welcome to cbs this morning. Trump says he will boycott the last debate before iowas first in the nation caucus.

Now, if he goes through with his promise, that would put ted cruz and marco rubio at center stage in prime time. Major garrett is in des moines are trumps risky move. Reporter good morning. The feud between donald trump and fox news simmering for months is now on. Which means the final debate before the Iowa Caucuses is off, at least for trump and at least for now. Its a saga that played out in press conferences, rallies, and, of course, on tv. They cant toy with me like they toy with everybody else. So let them have their debate and lets see how they do with the ratings. Reporter it started when fox news released a statement early trump for cowarding to putin and ayatollah. Trump was not amused. When they sent out the wise guy press releases dong by some pr person along with roger ailes, says, byebye. Reporter fox claimed it was rooted in one thing, megyn kelly whom he has viciously attacked since august. Welcome to the kelly file. Im megyn kelly. Reporter kelly opened her show with this promise.

Lots of questions about motivation and why one person is doing this. Sure. But who wins . Well, right now, i think the to be on that stage could be the winners. If they tee on off on trump in his absence, i think they could make some ground up. Megyn kelly started her show last night saying trump is used to being in charge because of his own organization but she says he doesnt get to control the media. He has, though. When with you look at the conduct of the media toward trump, he has not gotten scrutiny that all other front runners in a republican nomination have over time. Believe me, been around so long, ive seen them over time. He doesnt get the scrutiny. He is allowed to getting away to doing things with the media like others arent. Like what . How many times do the media allow him to call into tv shows . The sunday shows, the bread and butter, he calls into sunday shows. Nobody is afforded this kind of opportunity. That hasnt happened here. We have extended an invitation many times that we want him live and color in the studio. He is only a few blocks away. We could throw a rock and hit him. In his statement there he talks about press releases written by a child. Unlike the very stupid highly incompetent people running our country into the ground, mr. Trump knows when to walk away. roger ailes and fox news think they can toy with him but mr. Trump doesnt play games. Does this hurt him, rick, im not showing up because i dont want to . I think the gross inconsistencies are starting to show up. Franklin the more attention and scrutiny he gets the more inconsistent he is. Yesterday, maybe i will, maybe i wont dont know what im going to do. His Campaign Manager says believes what he said. I dont know what he said. A frontrunner picking a fight with Fox News Channel in which fox said he is terrorizing one of his employees is a strong charge. But a new charge. Look what happened last time he got into a fight with megyn kelly. The fox people went over their way to try to make sure everyone unsult trump and left megyn out hanging a couple of days. Do you think this is a mistake . Is this the turning point for donald trump . Look. Ive seen a lot of turning points i thought was going to cost him and it hasnt. I think the prolonged exposure he has to being inconsistent and dangerous the way he makes up these things is going to wear thin over time. Ive said since day one in this primary its going to take a long time and not decided in the next two weeks. So far, its working for him. Or win two caucus and a New Hampshire primary and get more momentum. Yes. Thank you, rick davis. I know we will see you again. Thank you very much.
