lary clinton answers questions about her private e-mail server after an internal review recommend aid justice department investigation. will she be able to turn the page? finally at peace, only daughter of whitney houston and bobby brown dead at the age of 22. it's 5:30 on the east 2:30 on the west. it's "way too early." good morning. it's july 27th. i'm ayman mohyeldin. trump is favored by 18% in the latest cnn poll with jeb bush within the margin of error at about 15% and scott walker close behind. meanwhile, most republicans still believe bush will ultimately be the nominee. only half as many see trump
2:31 am
getting the party's nomination. the poll also found a majority of republicans believe trump should stay in the race. this comes after the des moines register's editorial board called on trump to drop out. trump barred his reporters from their campaign stop on saturday and had this to say. >> we had so many people standing outside, i just want to thank you. actually the des moines register is standing outside, too, you know. so it was sort of funny. it's a super liberal rag, not respected around here. but they come out with an editorial, mr. trump, i'm rated number one now in every poll. because you know what? people are tired because of what's going on. not because of me. they're tired. >> further down in the field new national poll showed an uptick in support of ohio governor john kasich after his announcement last week but hasn't changed the
2:32 am
lineup scheduled for the first debate. ten days to go chris christie and rick perry continue to qualify for the final two spots but by our count, kasich is.2% out of contention. new nbc marist poll shows trump trailing by two points after one of walker's fund-raisers was found to be calling trump dumb dumb. trump responded in iowa saturday. >> i've been nice to scott walker. he's a nice guy. he came up to my office three, four months ago, presented me with a plaque because i helped him with his election. today i read this horrible statement from his fund-raiser about trump. i said oh, finally, i can
2:33 am
attack. finally. wisconsin is doing terribly. first of all, it's in turmoil. the roads are a disaster because they don't have any money to rebuild them. they're borrowing money like crazy. they projected a $1 billion surplus. and it turns out to be a deficit of $2.2 billion. the hospitals and education is a disaster and he was totally in favor of common core. and he's the only guy that's ahead of me. i can't believe i'm in second place. i'm in second place in iowa but, folks, will you please put me in first place so i feel better? >> the new nbc news/marist poll shows in the democratic race hillary clinton remains a clear front-runner but bernie sanders is gaining ground. clinton has 55% among registered democrats giving her a clear 29-point lead over bernie sanders. in new hampshire, the gap is
2:34 am
much narrower leading sanders by just 13 points. making matters worse for clinton, she remains under water when it comes to her favorability numbers in both iowa and new hampshire, a majority of registered voters said they had an unfavorable opinion or view of clinton. and while sanders isn't nearly as well known as clinton in either state he was the only candidate to earn net positive favorability ratings in both. clinton campaign is continuing to push back against last week's reports that two inspectors general asked the justice department to investigate private e-mail servers she used while secretary of state. on friday the inspectors general release aid statement saying four e-mails from clinton containing classified information did not have classified markings but nevertheless, quote, should never have been transmitted via an unclassified system. clinton said to reporters friday that she didn't send offer
2:35 am
receive anything that was classified at the time. >> i think there's so much confusion around this that i understand why reporters and the public are asking questions. but the facts are pretty clear. i did not send nor receive anything that was classified at the time. >> that comes as clinton is facing a controversy on a different front, when exactly she will testify before the house select committee on benghazi. the clinton camp said saturday she agreed to testify october 22nd but hours later a spokesman for the benghazi committee release this had statement saying negotiations were ongoing. meanwhile, senator ted cruz is known for his passionate floor speeches. his most recent one is forcing his republican colleagues to take sides, many against the senator. it began on friday when the presidential candidate accused majority leader mitch mcconnell of lying to him and other republican senators about a deal to reauthorize the export/import bank. take a listen. >> the majority leader looked at me and said there is no deal. there is no deal. there is no deal.
2:36 am
like st. peter, he repeated it three times. it was striking a minute ago saying that senator harry reid calling out the majority leader for filling the tree for engaging in the same procedural abuse that harry reid did over and over and over again in this body. now the republican leader is behaving like the senior senator from nevada. what we just saw today was an absolute demonstration that not only what he told every republican senator but what he told the press over and over and over again was a simple lie. several republicans went after cruz for the attack in a special session, including mcconnell himself. cruz did not back down. >> when there is overwhelming bipartisan support for an idea, even if i oppose it, it doesn't require some special deal to see
2:37 am
a vote occur on that measure. this is the united states senate, after all, where we debate and vote on all kinds of different issues. >> squabbling and sanctimony may be tolerated in other venues or perhaps on the campaign trail, but they have no place among colleagues in the united states senate. we are not here on some frolic or to pursue personal ambitions. this is a high and holy calling. s it not something to take lightly. s it a sacred trust in which petiness or grandstanding should have no part. >>s it entirely consistent with decorum and with the nature of this body traditionally as the world's greatest deliberative body to speak the truth. speaking the truth about actions is entirely consistent with
2:38 am
civility. >> a clear picture is beginning to emerge about the gunman behind that louisiana movie theater attack. investigators are working to confirm eyewitness reports that john russell houser visited at least three other theaters in the region before opening fire thursday night in lafayette. authorities say he arrived in town in early july and took up residence at a motel. according to the washington post even talked of depression and killing pets with an ax in the days before the shooting. louisiana's governor bobby jindal says houser should never have been able to buy a gun because of his history with mental illness. and former texas governor rick perry echoed that sentiment, adding his opposition to so-called gun-free zones. >> i will suggest to you that these concepts of gun-free zones are a bad idea. i think that you allow the citizens of this country who have been appropriately trained,
2:39 am
appropriately backgrounded know how to handle and use firearms to carry them. >> atf investigators say houser legally purchased his gun last year in alabama. but in 2008 court records show his family had him voluntarily committed -- involuntarily committed, rather to a hospital in the state of georgia. let's turn now to business as wall street tries to turn a page on a disappointing week. u.s. stocks sustained their biggest weekly loss in months. we'll get to what's moving the markets in a moment. first i want to ask you about the big news coming out of detroit on fiat chrysler. what's the latest on that front? >> they've agreed to a record-breaking $10105 million penalty this larger than the $70 million fine we saw honda pay in reference to the takata air bags. $70 million fine just for the wrong doing that fiat has
2:40 am
admitted for not complying with safety emissions. we're talking about a dozen recalls involving 11 million popular vehicles the jeeps and the ram. they agreed to this $70 million and then an additional $20 million to safety measures doing a large campaign on safety going forward and that final $15 million is related to further expenses if they indeed fail to go along with this agreement. that's the number we're looking at. arguably, ways what's more important, they've agreed to over half a million buybacks largely impacts ram pickup trucks, their most popular selling brands dating back to even 2008. what's at issue here are concerns about steering problems in the ram vehicles. people who have the certain models affected will then be eligible to have fiat chrysler buy back those cars. the agreement goes they have to buy back those cars at the purchase price less dpreerks. we don't know how many ram
2:41 am
trucks that could involve but a very hefty bill for fiat chrysler, of course. it's no surprise that investors are not liking this news. we've seen fiat chrysler shares trading in milan at about 2% down this morning. they're due to report thursday. it will be interesting to see if we get further update on what that financial toll could really look like. >> nancy, it was a rough week on wall street last week. what are investors watching this week coming up? >> it's another very busy week for earnings as you know. one of the big losers we saw initially reporting earnings is apple. taking center stage with the likes of twitter, reporting earnings and some concern with user growth. they haven't been able to maintain steady use. they're playing down expectations saying don't expect any large revenue increases. more positive story they're hoping for out of facebook. facebook really expecting to show improvement in ad revenues.
2:42 am
google reporting last week and they've seen some favorable opportunities out of increase in ads. it could be the same story for facebook. real big story will be when the fed has its latest decision in a week on wednesday. we're trying to look for some indication of whether fed chair janet yellin will give an idea of when that first rate hike will take place. some are saying september, some are calling for december. the first rate hike is coming. it will be interesting to see what the fed has to say, if anything in that statement about inflation and overall picture. u.s. gdp numbers are also out this week. ayman? >> thank you nancy. later, 35 women featured on the cover of the latest issue of "new york" magazine all have one thing in common, they all claim to be victims of comedic legend bill cosby. that, plus weather when "way too

path toward progress which he said pointedly in front of kenya's leaders. a culture of corruption and working to end discrimination against women and girls. >> treating women as second-class citizens is a bad tradition. it holds you back. there is no excuse for sexual assault or domestic violence. there's no reason that young girls should suffer genital mutilation. there's no place in civilized society for the early or forced marriage of children. these traditions may date back centuries. they have no place in the 21st century. >> we'll have a live report from east africa later on "morning joe." don't miss that. major league baseball's greatest honor, four former players were enshrined into baseball's hall of fame. craig biggio first hall of famer for the astros jon smoltz
