community meeting. along a rural highway the fbi and oregon state police stopped the occupiers vehicles to arrest members of the group when authorities say shots were fired though they would not elaborate on who fired. one protester was killed, identified by family as lavoy finicum. he became a spokesman for the occupation. >> honestly, there are things more important than your life and freedom is one of them. >> reporter: nbc news spoke by phone with finicum's daughter. >> i want to know why because i know my dad. he would never put someone's he would only defend his life. >> reporter: another militant was injured, treated at the hospital, then turned over to the fbi. in all, eight anti-government occupiers are now behind bars, including the group's leader, nevada rancher amon bundy. shan na cox was arrested.

which comes just days before the iowa caucuses. we have complete coverage beginning with nbc national correspondent peter alexander, peter, good morning. >> reporter: hi, matt. we're live in iowa this morning. barely 100 hours out from caucus day in this state. this is farm country which is fitting because donald trump is now locked in a high stakes game of chicken with both fox news and ted cruz. taking a page out of his playbook, donald trump is walking away from the table abruptly announcing he'll skip tomorrow night's debate. >> let's see how much money fox is going to make on the debate without me, okay? all right. let's see. >> reporter: a trump aide telling nbc news it's not under consideration and his word is bond. rival ted cruz immediately challenged trump to a one on one 90 minute debate duel and hit the candidate for backing out. >> donald's is a fragile soul.

up at the interview, you know what you'd say? you're fired! >> reporter: trump's latest fox news feud escalated quickly after they slammed moderator megyn kelly for not being fair. they went head to head over her questions on his views on women. kelly responded on air last night. >> mr. trump has repeatedly brought up that exchange of a evidence of alleged bias. we agreed to disagree. >> reporter: the network fired back overnight with a statement charging trump's campaign manager with threatening kelly saying we can't give in towards terror ryizations against any of our employees. trump highlighting his anti-immigration stance and looking at blunt criticism that he's a new york liberal taughting the endorsement of jerry fall well jr. with tony perkins backing cruz. still anti-abortion leaders are

but donald trump arguing he cannot be trusted on the topic of abortion. echoing attack ads by cruz and his allies over trump's past comments on "meet the press." >> i am pro choice. >> in 1999 you said you were pro choice in all respects. >> what did i say? you didn't read it. read the full statement of what i said. >> are you a trustworthy -- >> excuse me. very trust worthy. more so than zblu i'll read it now. i'm very pro choice -- >> you didn't read -- why didn't you say when you asked the question before that i hate the concept of abortion sngs do you apologize? >> i -- i -- -- >> do you apologize. >> do i apologize for reading your words? >> for not reading my words. >> i am very -- >> no, do you apologize for not reading my words? >> reporter: of course, we never apologized. as for skipping thursday night's debate, you decide whether it's a bluff or a mistake. donald trump isn't letting up again this morning calling megyn kelly a light weight reporter.

event simultaneously this thursday to help raise money for veterans and wounded warriors. >> peter alexander, thank you, peter. mark halperin who hosts with all due respect. good morning to you. >> good morning, stayavannah. >> you don't antagonize fox news. is donald trump smart or is he going to live to regret this one? >> i think he's on track to dominate the news. look, we've moved from the silly season here to tension city. there are just days to go before the voting. fox news put out a very provocative confrontational statement. they showed donald trump one finger, donald trump showed them one finger and then he punched them in the face and has thrown the debate into chaos and the closing days here in iowa into chaos. he is showing strength though, which is his brand. he also has some endorsements

in the closing days to do what he's done the entire campaign, dominate. >> mark, let's talk about this. you talked about the punch and counter punch. this is what seems to have set donald trump off. a fox news spokeswoman r50e678d out and gave this statement. we learned from a secret back channel that the ayatollah and putin both intend to treat donald trump unfairly when they meade with him if he becomes president. trump has his own secret plan to replace the cabinet with his twitter followers to see if he will even go to the meetings. >> what was the strategy there? was that smart of fox to poke the bear? >> no, it wasn't. i think journal lis stickically and tactically it was not a good move. a news organization sponsoring a debate should treat all of the par tis sants with respect. they should let their journalism speak for itself. fox for some reason decided to continue to go after donald trump. they have a right to have megyn kelly be their moderator. that's their journal lis stick choice. but by putting out that

an excuse, they gave him a genuine rationale to say i'm not going to show up at a debate if they're taunting me. >> sechbsing an opportunity, ted cruz wasted no time. he said, look, i'll challenge you donald to a one-on-one debate with no moderator obstacles. how can trump duck that? >> well, it's going to be an interesting question to see whether that debate becomes an issue. look, ted cruz must win iowa more than donald trump. it's not absolutely essential that he finishes first, but the stakes are high. trump leads in the other 49 states effectively. trump i don't think will do a one-on-one debate with cruz. make no mistake, right now trump has a lot of momentum going on here in iowa. cruz has to find a way to stop him. >> mark halperin in des moines, thank you.

right now, yes, i do. >> reporter: jeff bowman says he's complying with the evacuation order, packing up his closet and trying to figure out what's next for him and his dog. >> things happen for a reason, but i just think they're making more out of that than they need to be. >> reporter: of course this area has dealt with coastal erosion for years, back in 2010 two other apartment buildings were evacuated and unoccupied sense then. more rain is expected later this week. matt, back to you. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you very much. new developments on that toxic water crisis in flint, michigan. the mayor says it could cost oos much as $1.5 billion to fix the less contaminated water system there. nbc news has learned from city water officials that there are currently no led pipes being replaced. plumbers say they haven't donnie work since the october announcement that the water wasn't safe. they've done hundreds of checks

and they will not have results before manning takes the field again in 11 days for super bowl 50. that makes any potential punishment unclear since the investigation could stretch beyond manning's career itself. in footage released tuesday, the qb seemed to confirm speculation he'll hang up his cleats after the super bowl. showtime's "inside the nfl" captured him talking to bill belichick after sunday's afc championship. >> this might be my last rodeo. >> reporter: the broncos would not comment on the league's investigation. last month al jazeera named broncos as being lijed to the guyer institute in indianapolis, where one pharmacy intern claimed they mailed the drugs to manning's wife. >> all the times we're sending ashley manning drugs, like a growth hormone, all the time, everywhere. florida -- it would never be

lovely gentleman. >> someone who discovered fame later in life. he was in his 50s. good to see he reinvented himself. >> he was a running gag on "leatherman." i'm not dead. >> 1982, there was a reporter who posted that he -- in "people" magazine. >> before posting. >> well, in the magazine. >> actually wrote it down. >> in the magazine. >> yes. >> i'll be honest, growing up, i knew him as the guy who walked on to leathermant letterman. i had to realize he had a career before that. >> barney miller's -- there was a spin off, right? >> yeah. >> todd bridges was one of the kids. he was my favorite character on
