portrayed his boycott of the debate his textbook negotiating ploy. >> i was not treat fairly. you know that? does everybody agree with that? you know in life, when with i fight with you, i'm fighting the same way. you have to be treated fairly. >> reporter: ted cruz dropping in some polls but betting on a ground game in iowa said trump is a coward. >> not that he is afraid of me. he is afraid of you. >> reporter: cruz who will likely become the number one debate target tonight proposed a final time and place for a debate with trump. >> how about the two of us in a one-on-one debate no-mano? >> we have a venue, we have a time. candidate. >> fox's prime time king bill o'reilly urged trump to reconsider. >> here is it is what. >> bill, let me tell you. you're taking this much more seriously than i am. >> who is? i want you to consider, all right? ththk about it.

"wall street journal" kim strassel is with us and writes a column that appears weekly in the newspaper and please to have you.

>> could this be a big mistake for donald trump? >> i think it is. this is the key moment for iowa voters. they are tuned in. they are paying a lot of attention to this one debate, because by the way, the rnc cut back o othe number of debates so there is a l of focus on this one. we know 4 out of 10 of those voters still say they could change their mind. donald trump is going to be up on that stage and all of his competitors as you can see, are going to be leveling charges at him and he will be not be there. >> do you there is an empty chair? > think a possibilityty >> fox and rnc said they won't have an empty podium there. do you think as karl rove made the point in "wall street journal" today it could be enough to blow his lead, that it is a small enough lead in iowa that can could be the margin of difference? >> the problem is we don't really know what his lead is. the number one question that everyone has out there in iowa is how devoted aredonald's supporters? are they devoted celebrity watchers?

line five hours to get a ticket or the kind of people go out on a cold night to a caucus and those could be very different people. >> you believe big turnout numbers at these rallies doesn't translate into the votes at the end of the day? >> that's what nobody knows. in the past, you can have about 120,000 people who are regular caucus go-ers to the republican caucus. registration has not necessarily changed a lot in iowa. so has donald trump actually taken some of those voters or not? >> could marco rubio benefit from all of this? >> he has been very strategic. he was a big believer that you can peak too early in iowa so he has saved all of his fire power the past week and polls are coming out showing h is moving up. >> he has the endorsement of the "des moines register." and sioux falls newspaper as well and campaigning with joni ernest. so he has a lot of momentum. >> "the new york times" makes

between the leading republicans and roger ailes of fox news network. what do you make of that and trump appeared with o'reilly last night and one of their reconsider? >> i think the toughest thing for the media you want a donald trump on, good for your ratings, but, you know, at the same time, republicans love to bash on the media. >> but is this donald trump taking on fox? because he thinks fox has too much power? >> it could be. but it also just could be because most republicans think it plays to tell their voters that the media is bad. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> certainly still more to come. kim strassel, thank you for joining us at the table this morning. washington's biggest newspaper is blasting bernie sanders this morning. "the washington post" editorial says the democratic candidate is running a, quote, fiction-filled campaign. it labels the vermontenator as not a brave truth-teller and a lot like many other politicians.

making campaign stops today ifn iowa today and nancy cordes is there. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning. that editorial primarily took issue with sanders plans to dramatically expand government. they say he has not adequately explained how he would pay for all of that. it's the same case clinton has been making, but it doesn't seem to bother his supporters. another thousand of them showed up for him last night. >> i give you bernie sanders. >> reporter: stumping with susan sarandon in mason city, sanders blasted clinton for leaving the state. >> my opponent is not in iowa tonight. she is raising money from a philadelphia investment firm. frankly, i would rather be here with you. >> reporter: sanders had justt returned from his own trip to washington for a 45-minute sit-down with the president. >> we talked about the mexican issues.

we talked about politics just a little bit. >> reporter: what kind of politics? >> the president knows something about iowa. >> reporter: earlier at a bowling allele in adele, iowa, clinton argued she is best to equip the president's gains especially when it comes to obamacare. >> if they get a republican president, it will be gone and the first week. >> reporter: in mason city, her husband insisted she's a transformative candidate. >> there is only one person w w is a proven change maker. who is the change maker here? she is a walking, breathing change agent and she a born change maker and everything she touched, she made better. >> reporter: that is the case zoe wagner is making between now and caucus night. the high school junior is a precinct captain fororlinton i i beaverdale. are you old enougug to vote? >> no. i'm 20 days too young to vote. >> reporter: you can still be a presingt captain? >> yeah. that is the cool thing. even though i can't be there to stand in her corner on caucus

>> reporter: the democrats are still locked in their own debate fight over whether to hold another one inew hampshire next week. sanders is playing hardball saying he will only participate in clinton agrees to three more debates, in march, april, and may. gayle, he wants as many chances to be head-to-head with her on stage as possible. >> we will see how it turns out. thank you, nancy. cbs news will bring you a debate with the republican candidates next month from south carolina. you can see i the cdc this weekend adds new areas to its travel advisory warning pregnant women to avoid areas where the mosquito virus is spreading.

this month. we have the director. he took part in a briefing with president obama on the zika threat. he's with us from washington. good morning. >> good morning. >> we now have over 4,000 suspected cases of babies born with baby defects in brazil. i think the question everyone is asking is could this affect the united states? >> we do not believe that there will be a major outbreak of zika in the united states. we don't want to be cavalier about it. we want to take it very seriously, but if zika acts like the other types of viruses that are mosquito born that we had experience with like chikungunya and dengue, it could be controlled with mosquito control. hopefully we will not see anything worse than that. we have to be vigilant but we do not expect a major outbreak in

fact there's considerable problems in brazil with the widespread outbreak of zika. >> what is the urgent response that is necessary at this moment? >> well, right now the urgent response is really vector control. namely to make sure that the mosquito vectors really are controlled. and you can do that by eliminating them with insecticides. what we spoke to president obama about was the countermeasures, better diagnostics. the development of vaccines. being able to understand the disease better. >> let me ask you, doctor, i know this is overwhelmingly spread by mosquitoes but the cdc has said there is one case spread by other means. are you concerned by that? >> we do not believe there are major waysfpreading this apart from mosquito bites. the considerable thing we're concerned about as you're well

pregnant which who get infected while they are pregnant. that's the reason why the cdc has come out with the guideline of telling pregnant women or women whohoight be pregnant to avoid unless absolutely necessary travel to those regions where you have the local spread and the outbreak of zika. >> important information. thank you so much. >> you're quite welcome. you're quite welcome. three more members of an armed group who took over a federal wildlife refuge in oregon are in custody and theirir surrender came as t tir leader bundy urged the followers to end the occupation. he made a court appearance wednesday in portland. bundy said in a statement, quote, please stand down. go homend hug your families. this fight is ours for now in the courts. in all 11 members of the group have been arrested and face felony charges. some holdouts remain inside the malheur wildlife refuge.

would rather died than be caged. >> i'm going to not spend my days in a cell. >> reporter: supporters are calling him a martyr. clive bundy -- >> she said they cold blooded shot him andhe figures at ast six times. three or four of the times after he was on the ground dead. >> reporter: but authorities put the bame squarely on the protesters. >> let me be clear. it is the actions and choices of the armed occupiers of the refuge that has led us to where we are today. >> reporter: 11 people, including bundy, now face felony charges of conspiracy t to impede officers of the united states through the use of force, intimidation, or threats. >> this can't happen any more. this can't happen in america and it can't happen in harney county. >> reporter: the fbi has blocked off all roads into the wildlife refuge and the federal criminal complaint revealed that the occupiers are believed to have had explosives inside their compound.
