7:03 am
his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. he gets a free ride to the white hat. the former governor and 2012 candidate not holding back adding his domestic policies would lead to recession. he has neither the temperament nor judgment to be president and his personal qualities would mean that america would cease to be a signing city on the hill. trump tweeting just another desperate move by the man who should have easily beaten barack obama, misspelling the president's name. >> i will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose. >> reporter: signaling new urgency in the stop trump movement. several top republicans soliciting cash from donors, highlighting trump's comments on race. >> i don't know anything about what you are talking about with
7:04 am

7:06 am
part of a movement and effort to stop donald trump which is not going to happen just because mitt romney says so but the other candidates, john kasich, marco rubio, ted cruz will have to step up at this debate to be part of this effort. >> there are different strands to this stop trump effort going on. what do you know about efforts to raise money to that end, to spend money particularly in florida on ads? some republican leaders openly talking about running a third party candidate with today's knowledge would all but assure a hillary clinton win. >> the effort is not to think about the third party win. the logistics are difficult. the efforts are to raise money. some richest members of republican establishment are thinking about it. the focus is to slow him down. they know donald trump is far and away the best position to be the republican nominee.
7:07 am
win enough delegates for the other three candidates to keep donald trump from getting the majority. can you stop him at the convention. the effort from mitt romney and others today and next two weeks is can you get enough delegates to stop trump. >> it seems to make no sense for the other three candidates to be attacking each other tonight. they are all going to go after donald trump. which donald trump replies? the guy who likes to insult people or the guy who was on the stage the other night? >> the guy on stage the other night was being a big figure trying to reach the country. if they go after hard after donald trump which i suspect they will, how does he respond? based on tweets against mitt romney you think he will drop the big reaching out figure and go to the tough fighter which
7:08 am
>> the money being spent, mitt romney trying to stop trump. is there a risk to that in the sense there are trump voters thinking the party leaders and a bunch of rich guys are trying to stop trump? i must be on the right track. >> the establishment will not stop trump. it has to be the voters. this has to be about the appeal to voters who say this shouldn't be who we nominate. in the end it is not done here in washington, d.c. it is going to have to be based on advertising and persuasion can you appeal to voters to say go with one of the other three guys. don't go with donald trump. trump is in a commanding position for the nomination. >> thank you so much. as we mentioned we will talk to donald trump live in just a minute. first we want to talk about democrats. hillary clinton taking aim at

7:12 am
for my endorsement. literally begged me and he is a failed candidate. i backed him. he failed. he was a horrible candidate. he disappeared in the last month before the election. in all fairness obama is doing all of the shows and jay leno. this guy disappeared and got killed, decimated in the election. i will say this. if you look at what is happening and you see i won a lot of different states, maybe more importantly, millions and millions of people are joining the republican party. on the democratic side they are down 30%. the republicans are up higher than they have ever been because saying. the american worker is making less money now than 12 years ago and losing all of our trade, jobs. >> i want to go back to mitt romney for a second.
7:13 am
become a unifying voice in this fractured and frantic effort on the establishment side to stop you? >> mitt romney is a stiff. mitt romney will not get elected. mitt romney failed twice and really failed last time. he was going against a president that should have been beaten. the president was not doing well and should have been beaten. that should have been an easy election. nobody came out to vote for mitt romney. i'm talking about republicans. it is well documented. i'm not just saying this. they didn't come out to vote for mitt romney. >> you may have just answered it with that answer. tonight at the debate it seems highly likely that the three other candidates left on the republican side are going to go after you. they are going to save their fire for you. how will you respond tonight? will you be the guy who just called mitt romney a stiff or
7:14 am
appear much more presidential? who is the real donald trump? >> it's different. i have these guys like this lightweight marco rubio who doesn't show up to vote for the people of florida. he has defrauded the people of florida. i can't imagine anyone from florida wanting to vote for this guy. if you take a look at what is going on, i can't act overly presidential because i will have people attacking me from every side. ben carson is not there any longer so now more time for the fighting. i can't stand there and act presidential. >> why can't you say i'm above this? >> because when people are hitting you from different angles, unfortunately, you have to hit back. i would have a very, very presidential demeanor when i win, but until such time you have to hit back. when you hit back you are no longer presidential, unfortunately. >> on another topic, a lot of
7:15 am
final straw for them was this controversy over the weekend about david duke and the kkk. you have since disavowed david duke. >> not since this. i disavowed him many times over the years. >> people were surprised at that. >> he was talking about different groups and couldn't tell me who the groups were. >> you, yourself, said i don't know who this david duke is three times. >> what i meant is i never met david duke. i know who david duke is. >> that's not what you said. >> i'll tell you what i meant. you don't know, i know. i never met david duke. i don't know him from the standpoint i never met him. i wouldn't have anything to do with him or the kkk.
7:16 am
how many times do i have to disavow. right after that i tweeted that i disavow any endorsement of david duke. >> that was just my question to give you the chance to say and convince the folks that this is not something you want. >> let me say it again for the 20th time. i disavow david duke and the kkk hate. are you going to ask me about it in the next show? i disavow david duke and the kkk. i have been doing this from the time this question has been asked. >> right except for that one time which is why people were wondering about it. >> i don't know. >> i think we settled it. >> he was talking about groups. in all fairness to groups there may be a group that shouldn't be disavowed. i think it is unfair to a group if that is the case.
7:17 am
the word groups. >> if they are a white supremacist group you don't want their vote? >> i don't want their vote. i think i said it several times and maybe better the fourth time and ninth time. i disavowed right from the beginning. >> donald trump, thank you for being with us. we appreciate you calling in. new developments in the story we brought you on wednesday what could now be a piece of wreckage from malaysia airlines 370 found off the coast of africa. tom costello broke the story. >> next week is the two-year anniversary of the disappearance. this would be only the second piece of debris washed ashore in all that time. if you look closely there is something odd about the most recent piece. photographs of the piece of
7:18 am
said he found off the coast. on one side no step. but look closely. there is no sign of any marine life which raises the question, how long was it in the water? >> overnight australia's transportation minister confirmed the discovery. >> found in the water. it is of interest to us but i can't confirm that it is a piece of plane or anything to do with it. >> the confirmed piece of debris was covered in barnacles found not so far away on reunion island. blaine allen gibson is the american tourist who made the most recent discovery. >> this is definitely from an airplane. this could be from a boeing. this could be from a 777. this could possibly be from malaysia 370. we don't know yet. >> gibson is a self-described
7:19 am
he admits he has been fascinated with mh 370 since it disappeared and meeting with families and exchanging theories. gibson says he figured there was a chance some debris could have drifted but insists he did not go looking for it. i talked to him on skype. >> i didn't think i would be finding a piece of airplane that day. i don't know what airplane it is. there have been other planes that he crashed in the indian ocean. and it could be one of those. >> reporter: sources close to the investigation say based on photographic evidence there is high probability it is part of the skin of a boeing 777 and the only missing 777 in the world is malaysia airlines flight 370. the australian transport minister said the location of the debris matches the drift model for where debris should
7:20 am
it won't tell investigators where the rest of the plane is. the search remains focussed on australia which 3,700 miles to the east of where they found this piece of debris. >> thank you. we turn to al and checking on winter's last -- >> that is the way we should go. >> let's show you why we are thinking this. we have the system, heavier showers and thunderstorms to the southeast. snow breaking out from chicago into lexington. we right now have winter weather advisories, winter storm warnings stretching about 600 miles and 20 million people at risk for this. we watch this low pressure system bringing snow to washington, d.c. late. this evening heavy thunderstorms around atlanta. as we move into the evening hours we look for snow spreading further.
