i will lead the fight against amnesty. >> i feel like a need an english dictionary converter. ted can change his mind. marco can change his mind. >> reporter: hoping to rise in iowa before monday's first in the nation caucus, marco rubio talked tough on foreign policy and also took on the democrats. >> i think bernie sanders is a good candidadate for president of sweden. >> repeporter: cz at center stage for the first time failed to take over the spotlight left open by trump's absence. his tangle with the moderators falling flat. >> chris, i would note the last four questions have been, rand, please attack ted, marco, please attack ted, chris, please attack ted, jeb, please attack jeb. [ booing ] >> let me say in this --s if. >> it is a debate, sir. >> gosh, if you guys ask one more mean question, i may have to leave the stage. >> well, don't worry, i'm not leaving the stage no matter what

>> reporter: trump's presence or nonpresence was felt even after the debate was over, take a look at this photo ihot attlmost midnightht as i was leaving, these guys dressed as chickens with a milk carton with donald trump' name on it saying, where's donald. >> you took tt picture, jon. >> reporter: yes, i did, yes. can't you ll? >> i can't tell your photography. jon, did the moderators have to be prepared just in case donald trump decided to show up during the debate? >> reporter: well, his event was only fiveinutes away so there was real uncertainty upp unt the last minute about whether or not he would come and make a surprise appearance. memegyn kell said that they had two alternative outlines f questions and that she didn't get final word that he was definitely not coming until 15 minutes before the debate started. >> all right. thank you, jon. >> reports he had a few conversations over the course of theeay to roger ailes, the head ofox news. he was just a few minutes away,

hall, had his own crowd along with mike huckabee a rick santorum. tom llamas has all the details. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. as you heard in jonathan's piece, trump wasn't there but he did take some fire on that stage and he said last night hee actually considered showing up to the debate and that fox up to the last minute was trying to get him to go there. the show must go on, and thursday night it did. >> i didn't want to behere, i have to be honest. i wanted to be about five minutes away. >> rorter: trumpmp claimin fox news apologized to him, but it wasn't enough to reconsider. >> fox has been extremely nice and the last number of hours actually. laughter ] and they've wanted me and they said how about now? they called a few minutes ago. how about w, i said, hasn't it already started. >> reporter: in a statement fox news saying on thursday chairman roger ailes had three brief

today about possibly appearing at the debate. and that trump offered to appear at the debate upon the condition that fox news contribute $5 million to his charities. we explained that was not possible and we could not engage in a quid pro quo nor could any money change hands for any reason. >> we raised or $5 million in one day. >> reporter: trump still claiming victory. telling his crowd they raised more than $5 million for veterans. >> isn't that better than this debate that's going on while everyone is sleeping? they're all sleeping. >> reporter: the gop front-runner even wrangling rick santorum and mike huckabee who debated on the undercard stage to jn him. you respect for doing this event? >> hs raising money for veterans. you know, his decision as to whether or not to go to the debate is a separate issue. >> reporter: trump's followers, some who braved freezing conditions in iowa to wch his speech on an outdoor monitor say it was the smart play.

idea. donald trump has a choice to do that. >> you knowow, when these people don't play fairly then why go. you know, let's go out and support the best. >>eporter: and trump personally donated $1 million. that's what he said to the event. last night he sent out this tweet. an unbelievable event in iowa with our great veterans. we raised $6 million while the politicians talked. now, trump says 22 vets organizations will get that money, many here innowa and one of them spoke to abc news. they said they got a call from the trump campaign yesterday who said, quote, it will be better than winning the lottery. george. >> okay, tom, thanks very much. let's talk about this more with matthew dowd, our political analyst and cecilia vega covering the hillary campaign. okay, we can't know for sure what the 30,000 or 40,000 un undecided voters in iowa think but you got to say at first blush it looks like trumump's bet paid off. >> i absolutely think it dfrment part of the reason why it did, as him as the brash starting

the game, the trash talking backup quarterback fumbled the first few steps which is ted cruz and i think donald trump benefited by what happened on that stage. >> it was the second one that fell flat. >> in the course of that debate you had a better picture of ted cruz and i don't think that did well for him. >> who did well. >> i think the interesting thing, others were able to shine and i think rand paul did very well in the course -- >> bush had a pretty good night. >> i think jeb bush had a good night and marco rubio in the first hour had a good night but in the end donald trump didn't show and won. >> hillary clinton came in for a lot of fire last night. >> she had a bunch of atattacks. i think we have oneeady to go. her campaign tweeted this image of donald trump out and with it, there you go, they say, she says trying not to throw my remote at the tv is what they were talking about. this plays into hernarrative. she's even gone to the point where she called bernie sanders my friend. she's not talking about him as much on the campaign trail right

looking at republicans and even looking past iowa, i think, into this general -- >> pretty tight race butost polls show she has a slight lead and she's moved into a different phase. what's the plan for the final three days? >> cautiously optimistic, she is bringing in the big guns. we'll see her on the trail for the very first time with bill and chelsea this week looking well past iowa. they know the race is tight and i do think they realize this could be a loss and not bracing for it yet but ready if it happens. >> what's the biggest unknown? >> i think the biggest unknown is turnout. we don't know. evererything aut bernie sanders' victory is dependent on new voters and so is donald trump's and depending if those show up it goes in two different directions. >> thanks very much. we're going to have full coverage here at abc news this weweek on sday morning, "gma" and "world news" both live in iowa and all the results live monday night and next saturday

>> a lot coming up. we turn to that other big story we've been following, the zika virus, boston reporting its first case of the disease. now more than 30 detected in the u.s. and take a look at this map. you see the outbreak originating in south america and moving north. abc's dr. richard besser is at ground zero this morning in brazil to answer some important questions. good morning,rich. >> good morning, robin. you know, when you walk around the streets of rio you don't get any sense there's something going on here of such big health concern, but when you talk to pregnant women, you get a very different picture. we came to brazil, the center of the zika epidemic. the government here spraying the streets. we met fabiola already expecting when some said not to get pregnant. she tells me through a translator she knows zika is linked to babies with tiny heads

her paychecks on insect repel apartment. >> the level of alarm is extremely high. the world health organization said it's pulling together an emergency response committee saying the zika virus is, quote, spreading explosively. so far in the u.s., there are more than 30 cases detected in 11 states in the district of columbia. all brought back from travel abroad. >> zika is a relatively inconsequential virus for the general popution, but if you're a pregnant woman who gets exposed it's a big deal. >> so, rich, if somebody comes back to the u.s. with that viru is there potential they could spread it to others? >> that's a big concern, robin, because if someone is infected and comes back to the united states and is bit by a mosquito, that mosquito can bite other people and be iected so if you come back and have any symptoms, you need to be seen and definitely need to use repellant. >> a lot of concern about pregnant women and wanting to

stay in the system andnd could it pregnancies. >> when they look at similar viruses similar to zika they find once a p person h recovered and when their symptoms are gone, the virus is no longer in their body so they don't think future pregnancies will be at any risk at all. >> we heard a report there is a pregnant woman here in new york city with the virus. what precautions should she be taking? >> well, you know, thankfully there's no mosquito activit in new york city at this time so she shouldn't be putting other people at risk. but they're going to monitor her developing baby to see if the baby has been affected and once that baby is born they'll do hearing tests, vision tests to see if the baby was damaged. we don't know how big the risk is to that baby. >> we hope all goes well for mother and baby. be safe coming back from brazil.

>> we move to that deadly shoot-out in oregon. the fbi released new video showing the roadside confrontation between an anti-government protester and law enforcement that left one of the group's leaders dead and abc's neal karlinsky has the last. >> reporter: you're looking at video of the dramatic traffic stop taken by an fbi surveillance plane. investigators say that white truc is being driven by occupation spokesman lavoy finicum. as police stop the truck and another late tuesday afternoon occupation leaders are taken into custody. except finicum who doesn't surrender, instead after nearly four minutes sitting in his truck flanke by police takes off again. you can see him speeding down e rural road where police have set u up a roadblock. he eventually careens into a snowbank to miss them nearly hitting an fbi agent. moments later he can be seen getting out with his hands raised then critically reaching at least twice with ace rightht hand towards a pocket on the left side o of his jacket.

fire, but that's when finicum is shot by oregon state troopers and killed. investigators say a loaded 9 millimeter handgun was found inside the very pocket finicum appears to reach for. >> you know there are various versions of what happened, most of tm inaccurate and some of them inflammatory. we want to give the public as much information as possible as to what happened that day. >> reporter: as for the standoff the count is now down to four. just four armed protesters left inside. negotiators are speaking with them and hope to wrap all of this up soon, robin. >> we all hope that. neal, thank you. ethan couch, back on u.s. soil this morning behind bars in texas after he dropped his fight to remain in mexico. he will be back in front of a judge today. abc's matt gutman has the latest on the case. >> reporter: this morning ethan couch is waking up in his nightmare scenario, the tarrant county jail. >> i don't think anyone would be happy to be in the circumstance he's in. >> reporter: a a day the sheriff's been waiting for.

breathe a sigh of relf when both of them are back. >> reporter: the millionaire's son after nearly two months bundled back to texas thursday dropping his legal battle against depore trace to the u.s. and then whisked away in this truck. the sheriff waiting to book him at the jail. what was he like? >> meek a andmild. he wasn't defiant. he didn't raise his voice. >> reporter: but the sheriff claims not repentant. >> his only mind-set is how do i get out of trouble and not be held accountable. >> reporter: in 2013 the 16-year-old pleaded guilty to killing four peoplen a drunk driving wreck. the judge giving him only ten years' probation but police say hehe and his mother made off to mexico after this video surfaced allegedly showing him at a boozy party. raising questions of violating that probation. couch will be in court today for his detention hearing, a judge deciding whether he'll get bail, remain in this juvenile facility or --

into custody by our office and taken to the adult jail. >> reporter: of course, all of that will be determined in just a couple of hours. to much media fanfare but one person who will not be here, ethan uch's traveling buddy to mexico, his mother, tanya, still under house arrest,waiting her trial for allegedly helping him escape to mexico. she faces up to ten years in prison. robin. >> all right, matt, thanks for the latest. amy with the other morning' top stories starting wit breaking news about another incident with iran. >> that's right. a new provocation from iran this morning. iran state tv has aired video that it claims is from an iranian drone tracking an american aircraft carrier. u.s. officials declined to comment but the "uss harry truman" is known to be deployed ththere. they captured ten u.s. sailors earlier but released then the next day. a massive sinkhole opened up

groundbreaking doctor featured in the movie "concussion" and he is convinced his years on the field field may have given had i'm a brain disease. abc's ryan smith is here with that story. have you our attention, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, robin. a few names in sports more polarizing than o. simpson turning him from a football star to a pariah but dr. bennet omalu thinks he has vtsz from thousands of hits on the football field and should serve as a cautionary tale. >> if it doesn't fit you must acquit. >> are you having a problem putting that on your hand? >> reporter: he's the most infamous football player in sports history acquitted of double murder, o.j. simpson's trial for the brutal killings of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman now inspiring the new tv series "the people versus o.j. simpson." >> you want to make this a black thing? i'm not black. i'm o.j. >> reporter: this morning 21 years after the so o far-called trial of the century, an intriguing new claim about the

>> o.j. simpson is more likely than not suffering from cte. >> reporter: dr. bennet t omalu, the doctor responsible for discovering chronic traumatic encephalopathy or cte in nfl players from repeated blows to the head believes simpson is a victim of the disease. >> the truth. >> reporter: portrayed by will smith in the film "concussion" the world renowned forensic pathologist hasn't examined him personally and can only be diagnosed after death but he can identify the telltale signs of says. >> explosive impulsive behavior, impaired judgment, criminality, even mood disorders. >> reporter: but the strongest evidence o.j. may have cte, he says, his college and 11-year pro playing careers. >> he was exposed to thousands of blows to his head.

simpson himself once reportedly made using concussions as part of a legal strategy after his 2008 conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping in las gas. >> i'm sorry. >> reporter: according to espn during an appeal of his 33-year maximum sentence, simpson's attorney reportedly filed a sworn statement that he sufred numerous blows to the head and/or landed on my head violently while playing football. though he never relied on that concussion defense for his appeal, a new trial was denied. while dr. omalu stresses that cte doesn't excuse the criminal behavior that landed o.j. behind bars, he does want the case to serve as a reminder of the life-altering damage the sport can cause. now, dr. omalu claims he has yet to examine a retired player that doesn't have cte and that in his opinion athletes playing football to the pro level have a 90% to 100% of getting it. all the more reason he says to

about whether kids should be exposed to all those hits on the field. wll look at the legal ramifications with dan abrams who covered both of the simpson trials very extensively. ryan alled to this. could this have been anything he used in eher of his cases. >> not as a defense, per se, meaning he couldn't have said, look, i've got this and, therefore, i'm not guilty. he might have been able to argue, you should be able to give me a lesser sentence, because look at what i've been suffering called a mitigating factor in sentencing. but when it comes to guilty or not guilty, saying something like i have a brain disease isn't enough. that's why we talk about the insanity defense because the criminal law is so black and white in that regard. >> do you think now -- not just pro players talking college players, high school players, that if they get in trouble with the law that they could use this defense? >> i think we're actually going to see it a lot, particularly when it comes to sentencing. because you're going to see

someone who is going to allege that, you know, they got hit a ton in high school o college, that's what led them to become more violent, et cetera, and, you know we'll see if judges accept it as a mitigating factor but again really important to distinguish between guilt and innocence where this won't be particularly useful and the sentencing phase where someone could say, i should get a reduced sentence because of what i'm suffering from. >> this is bringing a lot of attention to this, but not sure o.j. is the rig spokesperson. >>e is the last person you want as the spokokesperson for this, right? i mean, no one wants to sympathize with o.j. simpson, so whether he has it or doesn't have it, it's probably not going to be particularly useful for the cause. >> got it, thanks, dan. we turn to tha new twist in the manhunt for those three inmates who escaped. aoman who teaches at the jail has been arrested in connection with that escape. officials believe she provided them with the infmation they needed to make their break.
