not only on ted cruz, he's also upping the attacks on bill and hillary clinton. and mexico begins the process of extraditing druglord joaquin el chapo guzman to the united states. could actor sean penn face blowback for his secret meeting with the world's most wanted kingpin? 5:30 on the east coast, 2:30 out west, this is "way too early." ♪ fitting music to start this monday morning. good morning, everyone. it is january 11th. i'm shiba russell. breaking news, musician actor and artist david bowie has died, an announcement on his official facebook page says he courageously fought an 18-month battle with cancer.

bowie's career spanned decades from humble beginnings playing sax as a 13-year-old to the height of rock stardom in the '70s and '80s, combining his theatrical mix of rock, art, sensibility and androgyny. his look and persona evolved from ziggy stardust to the thin, white duke "china doll" "let's dance" "changes" "fashion" and "fame" turned into gold. he played andy warhol in the art film "baskia" and showcased his music, dancing and acting talents in jim henson thriller "labyrinth." he was married twice. in the '90s he made supermodel iman. he are he leased his 25 album to critical acclaim. carnegie hall reportedly already announced a tribute concert

stars cyndi lauper and others. mexico has become the process of extraditing druglord joaquin el chapo guzman to the united states. he was recaptured friday by mexican marines after a six-month long manhunt. according to the attorney general's office, authorities have delivered extradition orders to the prison where guzman is being held. also this morning, mexican authorities want to speak with actor sean penn and mexican soap star kate del castillo about their secret interview with el chapo. the interview was published by "rolling stone" magazine over the weekend. penn describes meeting guzman after his escape from a mexican prison. this picture authenticates that meeting which reportedly took place in october. mexican law enforcement official says investigators were able to learn details about guzman's whereabouts by interceptions phone conversations between penn and del castillo. "rolling stone" is facing ethics

questions for the new article. the magazine's founder doesn't think the magazine will become embroiled with the case. el chapo is saying "i supply more heroin, meth, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world. i have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats." white house chief of staff denis mcdonough responded to the interview yesterday calling it maddening. >> this bragadocious action how much heroin he sends around the world and the united states is maddening. we see a heroin epidemic, opioid addiction endemme knick this country. we'll stay on top of this with our mexican counterparts. >> mcdonough did not comment about any possible repurr cushions for penn. the main focus here is bringing guzman to the united states to face charges. new polling on the democratic side shows a dead

heat in the early voting states of iowa and new hampshire. our new nbc news/marist/"wall street journal" poll finds hillary clinton leading bernie sanders by three points in iowa, 48% to 45%, inside the margin of error. in new hampshire it is sanders on top, 50% to 46%. there it goes, that's within the poll's margin of error but a new fox news poll out of the granite state has sanders with a wider lead, in this poll he's ahead of clinton by 13 points in new hampshire. and in our new nbc news polls, sanders performs better than clinton in hypothetical general election matchups in the early states as well. in iowa clinton leads trrp trmp by eight points but sanders leads him by 13. in new hampshire clinton is ahead of trump which just one point but sanders tops him by 19. apparently emboldened by the numbers and others like them, sanders had this to say about his electability yesterday.

>> for a start i would urge those voters, voters all over this country to talk a look at recent polls in which bernie sanders is matched with republican candidates trump on down. hillary clinton is matched with republican candidates. so if people are concerned about electability, and democrats should be very concerned, because we certainly do not want to see some right wing extremist in the white house, i think bernie sanders is the candidate. >> in an interview yesterday clinton brushed off those new numbers saying "polls go up and they go down" then she went on to repeat an attack on senator sanders over his record on guns. here's what clinton had to say about her opponent's 2005 vote on a bill that gave gun manufacturers immunity from prosecution when their products are used to commit a crime followed by sanders' response. >> you know, president obama and i and senator sanders were all in the senate at the same time. two of us voted against what the

nra says was the most important piece of legislation in 20 years for the gun lobby, and you know, he often says well, look, i'm from vermont and that's different. it's not like being in new york city. well, in fact, the other senator from vermont, senator leahy voted with president obama and myself. i think that the excuses and efforts by senator sanders to avoid responsibility for this vote, which the nra hailed as the most important in 20 years points up a clear difference, and is a difference that democratic voters in our primary can take into account. >> well, what you had was a complicated piece of legislation. there were aspects of it that were right, aspects of it that were wrong. i am absolutely willing to take another look at that legislation and get rid of the onerous provisions when gun manufacturers, for example, are selling guns into an area and know that those guns are going

into the hands of criminals, absolutely, those gun manufacturers should be held accountable. >> that back and forth comes as reports surface that former arizona congresswoman gabby giffords is expected to endorse hillary clinton for president. giffords became a leading advocate for gun control after being shot in 2011. calling hillary clinton and enabler, donald trump once again defended making her husband's infidelity an issue on the campaign trail. >> you're willing to bring up bill clinton's past with women if hillary clinton attacks you for being a sexist. so is that a threat to her? is that essentially what you're saying, you want me to go down that road, you go down that road, i go down this road. is this a public threat? >> i don't want to say it's a threat. >> but it is a threat. >> of course, i can call it a nicer name, yes. she was saying he has tendencies toward being sexist. >> talking about who? you? >> talking about me. and i said wait a minute, she's married to an abuser, a woman

who claimed rape and all sorts of things. i mean, horrible things. you read the books. >> you do know, if you bring it up, people are going to bring up your -- >> it's okay. >> your first divorce was ugly. >> that's fine. you know what? i wasn't the president of the united states, and i wasn't dealing in the oval office. i'm not saying don't bring anything up with me, but when she says that, i had to bring it up and by the way, they've become very unresponsive since then. >> well, if he wants to engage in personal attacks from the past, that's his prerogative, you know, so be it. it's been fair game going back to the republicans for some years. they can do it again if they want to. that can be their choice as to how to run in this campaign. didn't work before, it won't work again. >> a lot of republican officials including a lot of republican women say this is going to backfire, that you're only going to make her more popular, once again she's the victim that is going to turn off -- >> no, no, she's not a victim. she was an enabler. >> she was an enabler?

>> she worked, yes, she worked with him. some of the women had been totally destroyed. some of these women have been destroyed and hillary worked with him. i mean there's no feeling sorry for hillary in this situation. >> meanwhile questions over ted cruz's eligibility to serve as president continued into the weekend. the cruz campaign released a copy of his mother's birth certificate showing she was born in delaware, while trump said the senator is taking this subject too lightly. >> because some people say you have to be born on the land. you have to be born on land. that's what i always thought before. you can't have a person running for office, even though ted is very glib and he goes out and says well i'm a natural born citizen. the point is, you're not. >> i like donald trump. i respect donald trump. he's welcome to toss whatever attacks he wants. the laws and facts on this are quite straightforward. my mom was born in wilmington, delaware, a citizen by birth.

by virtue of being born to my mother in calgary i was a citizen by birth. >> the leading republican candidates also clashed on the issues. trump accused cruz of opposing ethanol in iowa because of support from the oil lobby. cruz took a different position than trump on a deportation force to catch those in the u.s. illegally. >> door-to-door we don't have any system that knocks on the doors of every person in america. that is not actually how the american law enforcement system works. we also don't have people going door to door looking for murderers. we don't live in a police state. no, i don't intend to send jack boots to knock on your door and every door in america, that's not how we enforce the law for any crime. >> my primary opponent in iowa, only in iowa, because actually ted isn't doing well at all in new hampshire but in iowa he's doing well and my primary opponent was totally apposed to ethanol and the ethanol industry

because he's from the oil industry. he's from texas, i guess it makes sense and he was getting clobbered and all of a sudden he said oh, i'm for ethanol. you can't do that. you can't do that three weeks to go. you're not allowed to do that. so nobody really believes it. >> it's factually inaccurate that the oil companies lobbyists are supporting me. the major oil companies and their lobbyists are not. they're supporting other candidates, those are the facts and facts matter. >> here are more facts for you. it is worth noting that cruz superpacks received $25 million from major oil and gas investors. the man accused of ambushing and shooting a philadelphia police officer last week is in custody, but officials say the threat may not be over. police say 30-year-old edward archer has pledged allegiance to isis. he's being held without bond after investigators say confessing to shooting officer jesse hartnett in the "name of islam." surveillance video shows the suspect walking right up to the

police cruiser, firing at point blank range. the officer then chased him, got out of his vehicle, returned fire, even though he was shot three times in the arm. >> the bravery he demonstrated was absolutely remarkable. his will to live undoubtedly saved his life. and we're ever so thankful to god that he's here today, because this could have easily been a police funeral. officials are now trying to retrace archer's steps, the suspect, during a 2011 trip to saudi arabia, and a 2012 trip to egypt. meanwhile investigators say they've received a tip that the threat against officers is ongoing. according to a police report obtained by the nbc station in philadelphia, an anonymous tipster claimed the suspect is part of a group of four and that he is not the most radical one. right now, investigators say they've been unable to find a direct link to any known terror groups. this morning, u.s. forces in

south korea have reportedly been put on their highest level of alert following north korea's alleged nuclear test last week. in a show of force, the u.s. b-52 bomber flew alongside u.s. and south korean fighter jets near seoul yesterday. military officials say it was a demonstration of u.s. commitment to south korean allies. still ahead here on "way too early," the unforgettable moments from last night's golden globes. plus a minnesota vikings kicker blair walsh gets iced in one of the coldest games in nfl history. we'll have the latest from the playoffs. and of course, become become is on deck with the forecast.

the redskins hosted the packers yesterday. green bay comes to life in the second quarter after trailing washington by double digits. quarterback aaron rodge,threw a pair of touchdowns and running backs james starks and eddie lacy each found the end zone. the packers knock off the redskins 35-18. to minneapolis and the vikings hosting the seahawks, in the third coldest game in nfl history, woo, was it cold there. minus 6 degrees, on the field at kickoff w a windchill at negative 25, but if you think that bothered bud grant, coaching legend, think again. look at what he's wearing. the 88-year-old former vikings coach walked out for the coin toss in short sleeves. 88 years old. let's jump to the beginning of the fourth quarter here. seattle trailing 9-0, cornerback russell wilson recovers after the snap gets by him, avoids a sack by tyler lockett, a

touchdown pass to doug baldwin. field goal on the next possession and after trading punts this comes down to a game winning field goal attempt for minnesota. >> 27-yard attempt. jeff block is the holder. mcdermott is the snapper. and the kick is no good! >> oh! not even close. not even close. and a heartbreaking loss for minnesota. wow. so the sear hawks advance to face the top seeded panthers in the nfc divisional round on sunday and the packers head to arizona for the other nfc matchup on saturday. did you see that one coming, bill? >> all the road teams won which was a shock, but you know, if you're a pittsburgh fan or a seahawks fan you are feeling pretty lucky. you just about won the powerball, that's pretty much how it went. >> all right, let's move on, there's more. as for the afc, the patriots

will host the chiefs after kansas city's 30-0 blowout victory other over the texans and the steelers advance to face the top seeded broncos after a two-point pittsburgh win over cincinnati, two points. tonight college football's championship will be decided against alabama and clemson battle it out for the national title. nick saban is in search of his fifth national championship. very exciting stuff. >> don't tell joe but it's pretty easy to root against alabama at this point. because they're like this dynasty that's been like, you know, clemson is probably going to get crushed but i'll root for them. >> you called it right now, we'll see. >> we'll see. let's talk about how cold it was. that cold air is spreading across the country. down to a windchill of 13 in atlanta, charleston at 31, we're at zero in buffalo. the worst windchill is around the great lakes and lake michigan. chicago is at negative 17, so that's some cold stuff. the frigid air is in place, typical this time of year, isn't

record-breaking lows but it's been a warm winter these cold snaps we've been happening you feel them. 18 will be the high in cleveland today and this arrows, the blue one shows you how far deblow average. ranging between 5 to 15 below normal for this time of year and there's snow on the ground there. in new england we have some areas with bare ground. we're going to warm it up. chicago goes from 12 today to 39 on thursday. areas like maine and other locations it's not that bad. temperatures typical 20 to 30 degree range. shiba, as far as the snow goes the snow bands off of erie and ontario, some areas could get two feet of snow, but areas like tug hill plateau and high train in northeast, pennsylvania, they like it. >> thank you. still ahead, watch out. lady gaga coming through. we'll have the best moments from last night's golden globe awards. doesn't she look beautiful? including this joke from host ricky gervais. >> eva longori and america

ferreira aren't just beautiful talented actresses. they're also two people who your future president, donald trump, can't wait to deport. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like ordering wine equals pretending to know wine. pinot noir, which means peanut of the night.

okay? don't get emotional. it's embarrassing. okay? that award is, no offense, worthless. it's a bit of metal that some nice old confused journalists wanted to give you in person so they could meet you and have a selfie with you, okay? that's all it is. >> as for the actual awards, the night's big winner was "the revenant" for best drama and best actor and best director. "the martian" emerged as best comedy, taking home two globes, best comedy or musical which frustrated a lot of people because the movie is neither. and sylvester stallone got the first standing ovation as he accepted the ward for best supporting actor for his role in "creed" thanking the fictional

boxer that made him a star. >> most of all i want to thank my imaginary friend rocky balboa for being the best friend i ever had. >> on the tv side, "madmen" star john hamm won his second and final award for playing the deeply troubled ad exec don draper and lady gaga took home the globe her performance on "american horror story." this moment when she bumped into leonardo dicaprio's chair to accept the award that had social media buzzing. you look at diricaprio's reacti is not great. ooh. i'm happy dicaprio took home an award for best drama in an actor. his performance in "the revenant" was incredible. >> thank you so much. that does it for me and "way too early." on "morning joe" music legend david bowie lost his year and a half fwat well cancer.
