the stakes are high. so heated. that is the top story. hillary clinton and bernie sanders at a town hall. they have a debate tonight. ted cruz laying in on donald illegally stealing the iowa caucuses. we begin our coverage with good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you and matt said it. today there is a new tone to the frontrunners feud. donald trump and ted cruz will be barnstorming new hampshire but trump is stuck on iowa calling cruz a cheater. air trump stops for engine trouble. donald trump now demanding a do over after his second place finish in the iowa caucuses.

you take a look. that voter fraud. these politicians are brutal. >> reporter: trump accusing ted winning it echoing ben carson's complaint about some cruz staffers. out, but he was not. >> i think it was a disgrace i don't think it should be allowed. i think those votes should be taken away. he really lies. i don't like to use that term but he really lies. >> reporter: cruz who is not under investigation came back with his own one liner. >> it is no surprise that donald is throwing another temper tantrum or trumper tantrum. >> he is calling you a cheater, a fraud. does this cross the line for you? >> donald's insults get more and

he gets. trump's insults get more hysterical. my girls are 5 and 7. i've got to tell you carolyn and catherine are better behaved than a presidential candidate who responds by insulting everyone every day when he loses. >> reporter: the texas senator also taking a dig at sarah palin after she accused his campaign of a dirty trick. >> it seems if you spend too much time with donald trump, strange things happen to people. >> reporter: a new tone to the front-runner's feud. on the establishment side, meanwhile, jeb bush widely accepted to get back up soon. giving his brother a helping hand just when he appears to need it. >> send a signal that we're prepared to act in the national security interest of this

business of creating a more peaceful world. please clap. >> reporter: and today two few er for bush, both dropping out. paul is not expected to endorse anyone but santorum is. he's backing now marco rubio. matt, savannah? >> hallie jackson, thanks. hillary clinton and bernie sanders warmed up for tonight's debate on nbc by fielding questions at a town hall. nbc's andrea mitchell is in new hampshire where tonight's event will be handled. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. it's the first debate and the only one before next week's new hampshire primary. they did warm up appearing separately wednesday night. >> this is hard for me. >> reporter: a different side of hillary clinton was on display wednesday night.

dealing with some very difficult issues and personal issues. >> reporter: saying she relied on a jesuit parable to get her through the times. >> be grateful, know that you have to reach out to get more people to reach you, support you, listen to your critics. but in the end be grateful. >> reporter: she pounced saying how she took $675,000 from wall street for speeches. >> i don't know. that's what they offered. >> reporter: a closeness to wall street has become a big ir for bernie sanders. >> i do not know of any progress progressive who has a super pac and takes $15 million from wall street. >> reporter: sanders and clinton have been taking jabs at each other for days over who's progressive. >> some of my best friends are moderates. i love moderates. but you can't be a progressive and a moderate. >> reporter: with just five days

behind in a state she won three years s years ago. >> this state has been so good to me. >> reporter: narrowing the gap here but trying to speed up the momentum in south carolina where bill clinton was already campaigning wednesday night. >> who's the best change maker? >> hillary! >> reporter: tonight is hillary's last chance to reintroduce herself to new hampshire who are so far overwhelmingly supporting bernie sanders from neighboring vermont. she'll be on the stage face-to-face with sanders for that debate moderated by rachel maddow and our own chuck todd. >> thank you, andrea. appreciate that.

he's co-moderator for tonight's debate and nick olle wallace. number one is there knowing on the substance of it and number two is there a sharp political attack? >> look. i'm shocked that political campaigns try to win elections. there's not a lot of there there. did they take advantage of the situation with carson, yes, but a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes there. so i think the charges are a bit overwrought. look, it's donald trump playing a little bit of politics. that said, i have to say, the more they fight, the more this helps one candidate. not ted cruz or donald trump but marco rubio. there's only one guy on the rise. marco rubio. >> we know the voting is different than what we saw in

voters, are they emotional voters or are they pragmatic voters? in other words are they going to go to cruz or trump or the best person to beat hillary clinton or whoever the best nominee is? >> historically -- and i have to give that caveat because nothing is historic. for two reasons they're more practical voters. in new hampshire, independents can participate in the primaries. you'll read that they're not choosing between rubio and kasich. you hear about people choosing marco rubio. so they're making a completely different appeal. this knife fight going on between cruz and trump not each man destroying each other but totally alienating each other. >> and turning back to chuck on the democrats, i don't know if you'd call it a knife fight or label fight, you hear them who

in the race, who's getting the bet over that one? >> well, look. i think it really depends on who you are in the democratic electorate right now. what you're seeing is sanders and the idealism and take it to washington and do those things. that's appealing to the younger generation. that's why he's doing so well there. the pragmatic argument should be one to work well for hillary clinton here in new hampshire particularly on the democratic side. for years they've been a bit more pragmatic, had been a bit idealistic. i think tonight's debate will go toward it. >> bernie sanders, flush with cash, he's the guy next door, but hillary clinton has faced this before, done well in new hampshire. she's going to pour an enormous

if she closes the gap, substantially, is it going mean victory? >> bernie sanders should take a peek at what marco rubio did in iowa. because if he lets the expectations stand that he has to win by some whopper of a double-digit figure, he'll lose even if he wins. remember in '92 bill clinton saying i'm the comeback kid, coming in second place in new hampshire, but nobody remembers that. >> the debate is at 9:00 p.m. tonight eastern time. the mysteryover an explosionly shortly after takeoff that ripped that hole in the side of a passenger plane in somalia. it wasn't caused by a bomb. nbc's keir simmons has developments on the investigation. good morning. >> good morning. we're still trying to figure out what happens here. officials say no shrapnel was found inside the plane.

physical on the outside think an explosion did occur. this morning the airlines said the aircraft was 15 minutes into the flight still climbing when a hole was blown in the fuselage. how it happened is still a mystery. experts tell nbc news passengers may not have survived if they had been at a higher altitude than 12,000 feet. officials confirm passengers describe seeing smoke. >> i saw white smoke. in a few seconds i did realize. we saw a hole in the plane. >> reporter: in the past u.s. bound planes had been targeted cabin. richard reid tried to detonate and in 2009 a detroit bound

hid explosives in his underwear. in this case officials have not ruled out a failure of the aircraft. we are aware of the reports about the daallo airline flight. a spokesman told nbc news airbus has a team on stand by ready to join the investigation but is waiting for an official request from authorities in somalia. and the turkish airlines flight from the same airline was cancelled. most of the passengers are transferred on to the ill fated flight. they weren't meant to be on that plane and escaped with their lives. >> they're very lucky. thank you very much. new developments in the fight against the zika virus. florida's governor rick scott declared a public health emergency on wednesday in four counties where people have been diagnosed. there have been at least nine cases in florida. scott says he wants officials to

that zika could spread. cases are from people who contracted the disease while traveling to latin america or the caribbean. martin shkreli, the former pharmaceutical executive who raised the price of a drug by 5,000% is appearing on capitol hill today but we don't expect to hear much from him. >> that temporary price hike had critics calling shkreli the most hated man in america. known for speaking his mind his legal team wants him to keep quiet. the former drug company ceo known for raising drug prices and his voice now uncharacteristically quiet. >> from hence forward he does not speak to any member of the press. >> reporter: shkreli's new attorney imposing a gag order after the client appeared on

the charges are not related to controversial price hike for life saving pill for hiv. he increased the price from $13.50 to $750. that newly imposed silence -- likely to extend to his appearance today before congress. >> he will be invoking fifth amendment privilege. >> reporter: he was talkative tuesday on power 105. >> i'm telling you i'm from the street. >> reporter: where he spoke about everything from donald trump to a video he released last week. >> you think it's okay to beef with me. >> if he were here, i'd slap him in the face. >> you wouldn't. >> he has been feuding with the rapper ever since spending $2 million for the one and only copy of the latest album. >> he is taking shots at me. in the hip hop game it's not easy to be on the receiving thing without jumping back.

doesn't matter, man. tweeting out insults online when it comes to legal matters his lawyer is doing the talking. >> we do not believe he ever >> his high profile persona impacting profits. the stock portfolio dropped from $45 million to $4 million. such a bizarre guy. >> see why the lawyers are like enough of the chatting. the criminal sexual assault case against bill cosby is moving forward. a pennsylvania judge refused to throw out the case on wednesday rejecting the defense's claim that the former district attorney promised not to prosecute cosby. the judge found that promise was not binding on the current d.a. and does not prevent current

wrong doing. an update to a story last week. calgary flames defenseman dennis wideman, the man who claimed he was woozy after a hit and accidently cross-checked a linesman. the league suspended him for 20 games. so that is what happens when you accidently cross-check a linesman. >> might have seen that one coming. to the video we showed you at the top of the show we are getting a glimpse at the only known wild jaguar in the united states. the adult male has been seen by remote censor camera before but until now has never been captured on video. conservation activists say jaguars have all but left the u.s. due to population control.

video. what's going on? >> we have more wet weather to talk about and maybe a little snow storm, too. look at what happened in the carolinas. strong winds, heavy rain combining to bring down power lines, trees on to homes, knocking down massive structures, really making a mess and there is more on the way today. look at what we have on the radar. some areas maybe looking at three to four inches of rain and this is all streaming up along a frontal system that will lay along the coast. are talking about some areas up to three inches of rain in a three-hour time period. watching, a mini winter storm threat in the southeast massachusetts area. rain and wet snow move in from

frustrated. it teaches you to stick with it, persevere, really important in the markets. >> katan. >> a newer game. teens love it. college students love it. it teaches you how to leverage resources. catan. it is a fantastic game. >> dealing with finances not a game but games can help kids get better with it. >> thank you very much. cleaning up. jill martin is here to tell us how to do that. we have a question from a member of our parenting team. how do i teach my daughter to clean up her toys without making it feel like punishment. >> we were allowed to make as much of a mess as possible. at the end of the day we had to put the toys in a basket. 30 seconds and then we would get a gold star. at the end of the week whom ever

something they asked for $5 or $10. you both want this jewelry kit. the winner will get that. we are going to put 30 seconds on the clock. whom ever gets the most toys in the bin wins. >> start the clock. >> one, two, three four. >> five six. >> seven. nine. >> 11, 12. >> mr. potato head. >> double hands. >> 20 over here. >> 18 over here. >> so she'll get the star.

the more involved they are. i want to focus on breakfast. breakfast tends be a meal we have a lot of control over. you want a cool spin on something healthy. this is my happy toast. you start with whole grain bread and then put toppings on top. this is breakfast pizza. kids love pizza. you do it with a tortilla. you make the tortilla. you build it like a regular pizza. this is a morning milk shake. who doesn't want a milk shake in the morning. we know this is basically a fruit smoothie with a stunky store -- funky straw. >> or a store. we have tips on getting them to work. >> my son hates all the sports and exercise he has tried.

find some exercise he actually enjoys. >> i wasn't a natural gifted athlete. >> nor was i. i am not the pro. with i was little i would go for bike rides with my dad, night walks. we would put on lights. one minute. and we put on head lamps. as parents you are the first example. mommy is doing exercises. she sees me moving so she will. come to free classes. have them try karate and tennis. maybe not push. let them find their own passion. the other thing that is really fun and i did this as a teacher is yoga. we have billy, blake and -- chloe. you are louder than that. let's do the tree pose. there we go. they are better than i am.

energy, concentration and teaches them how to calm themselves. >> downward dog. what do we do when we do downward dog? wrangler sees it. my personal favorite -- you can go into cobra. chloe -- my favorite is dance party. let's do it. dance party. by the way, if you want to hear more go to today.com/parentingteam. dance party is on.

back now back now with our "today" food countdown to super bowl 50. instead of picking up a phone and ordering pizza, make your own with a french twist. annabel langbein is the author of "the free range cook" and hosts a show by the same name. we are making pizza. this is not your typical pizza. what do you call this? it is a french pizza. let's start with the dough. look at the ingredients, nothing out of the ordinary. >> really simple dough with flour, baking powder, oil and water. so it's a vegan dough. >> okay. >> we pop this in here. salt and baking powder. >> you're going to whisk that a little bit? >> just make a little hole in the middle and combine that together. basically a ratio of two parts flour to one part liquid.

oil and two-thirds of a cup of water. >> is that warm water? >> lightly warm, not hot, hot. it just comes together. you just won't believe how easy it is. >> how long should it take that to get that to the consistency you're looking for? >> it just comes together like that and it's done. >> perfect. >> that's our dough. bum, bum, bum. then you pick it up and it's a nice dough. >> here is one that has been sitting for a little bit. >> you can feel how supple it is. it's a vegan dough. these days everybody in your family is going to eat differently. >> okay. now what do we do? >> now the toppings. we have some nice olive oil. drizzle that in the pan. everything goes on there. >> i will help you. >> beautiful. these are red onions. cook them nice and slow. i can put the garlic in at the same time. it won't burn. it's going to cook down. it's going to taken 15 minutes. >> perfect. you've got your dough here.

>> you're going to roll that out. >> i'm going to give you a job. >> okay. >> you're going to make the other one. >> while you're rolling that out and showing people how easy it is, i will start to build the pizza on the dough that has been prepared here. >> see the onions there? they are going to keep in the fridge at least a week. so it makes it so simple that you can have it prepared ahead of time. >> let any me mention to you we have our team of tasters downstairs digging into your pizza annabel. how is it, guys? >> very good. >> very gourmet. >> i like it. >> i think everybody wants to be out having fun. you don't want to feel this time of year that you're stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is having fun. >> and can we mention here people realize you're not from around here, you're from new zealand, and if they wonder what you know about a big game like the super bowl, the rugby world cup was last year.

>> who won? >> my team, the all black. >> very good. i'm assembling this. >> and i'm assembling that. i'm going to make this the same. i think one of the big things about cooking is it brings everyone together. you get this chance that we can hang out and it isn't rocket science. it looks good. >> okay. now let's come over here to what we would have put in the oven. let's take a look at what it looks like when it's done. this is beautiful. the colors, even. >> it makes it really light and means you can eat it at room temperature. sometimes when you cook cheese and eat it cold, it can be claggy. >> what is this version? >> this is a vegetarian version made with zucchini. cooked down. saw today them and you're done.

florida suggesting he was getting out of the race so why vote for a guy getting out of the race. last night donald trump spoke on fox news about this issue. >> i think it was a disgrace that he did it. i don't think it should be allowed. i think those votes should be taken away. he really lies. i don't like to use that term but he really lies. >> so ted cruz, they are not investigating this. ted cruz came out and said i apologize, but the way he apologized was saying cnn reported this. we took breaking news and told our grass roots supporters to take the word out. he said he is not going to discipline anyone inside of his campaign. trump is not buying it. he wants a re-election in iowa which is not going to happen. >> it is no surprise that donald is throwing yet another temper

tantrum. >> he is calling you a cheater, a fraud. does this cross the line for you? >> listen, donald's insults get more and more hysterical the more. we need a commander in chief, not a twitterer in chief. my girls are 5 and 7 and are better behaved than a presidential candidate who responds by insulting everyone every day when he loses. >> senator cruise z talking to jackson last night. anderson cooper asking hillary clinton about speaking fees from firms like goldman sachs after she resigned as secretary of state. >> one thing senator sanders points to is you were paid

was that a bad judgment? >> i made speeches a lot. i told them what i thought y. answered questions. >> did you have to be paid $675,000? >> i don't know. that is what they offered. every secretary of state that i know has done that. to be honest, i wasn't committed to running. i didn't know whether i would or not. >> you didn't know you were run >> i didn't. >> let's face it, a lot of times speakers have a certain price list if you want a speaker you look on their website and there is a price list. it's what the market will bear. >> usually when they sign you up there is the added bonuses perhaps down the road this is support for her campaign.

>> and there is a debate tonight on msnbc. chuck todd and rachel madow, bernie sanders and hillary clinton standing on a stage together having a debate. this is fascinating. back on the republican side jeb bush yesterday speaking at a town hall in hanover, new hampshire. donald trump accused him of being low energy and perhaps awkward at times. >> the signal that we are prepared to act in the national security interest of this country to get back into business of creating a more peaceful world. please clap. >> please clap. >> like holding up the applause sign for himself. >> one thing i will say, jeb bush has kind of a dry sense of humor if you watch him. the jokes don't always land. i think he was make ag joke there.

that the candidates are all -- except for donald trump. >> there was a thing trending about that. >> they all dress like joe. >> they have the names. do we really need the -- we know who you are. >> where did that all start? i go back to chris christie after superstorm sandy, the fleece. that says governor. we know who you are. who am i? i'm governor. >> i have to be governor today. >> president gets the nice leather jacket. that's the one you want. >> that's what they are all fighting for. it is not about ruling the free world, but about the jacket. what else is happening
