1992, a new "atlanta journal" poll shows clinton leading trump by 24 points. in the last georgia poll taken back in may, trump led clinton 45-41. all this comes a day after polls show hillary clinton also holds a big lead in pennsylvania. and in michigan, as well as new hampshire. which donald trump is playing down. >> it's as unconcerning at this point in the campaign? >> no, it's very, very early. and i think we're going to do very well. >> msnbc's steve kornacki joins me with a further breakdown of the numbers. and we're also looking at demographic changes, as well. >> yeah, that's right, tamron. so that nbc news poll you're talking about, it's not the only one that's got hillary clinton polling ahead in this race by margins we haven't seen before. we've got her up, as you said, by nine points right now. other polls have it at ten. one had it at 15. so clearly, hillary clinton, at

least for this moment, has opened up a significant lead over donald trump. how has she opened up that lead, and what does it mean for november? we'll check this out. the story of the race right now, the movement we have seen when you look inside these numbers. it's with these two groups, white voters with college degrees, white voters without college degrees. sort of blue collar white voters. plu donald trump is leading by 13 points right here. he would like to be leading by more among this group. this is what he would like to see, a double digit advantage. he would like a better one. of here's the problem for donald trump. by going after blue collar white voters, he seems to be aliena alienating white collar white voters. hillary clinton leading by seven points among this group. let me tell you, never in history as a democratic candidate, when we've had polling, going back 50, 60 years here, never has a democratic candidate carried this group in a presidential election. that's the movement the we're

seeing. here's how it's affecting this race and donald trump. you mentioned pennsylvania. here are the new numbers we have out of pennsylvania. hillary clinton by 11 points over trump. four years ago, president obama only carried this state by five. we know this is a state donald trump has talked about, picking off. it is essential to his path to hitting 270 electoral votes. and he views pennsylvania as a winnable state, because there are a lot of blue collar white voters there. so why is hillary clinton actually doing better six points later right now than president obama did? well, it has to do with the suburbanites we're talking about, with professional, more upscale voters with college degrees. in 2012, in the suburbs of philadelphia -- this is a big chunk of pennsylvania -- 20% of the state, in those suburbs, barack obama won by nine points over mitt romney in 2012. now, was the state at play as we speak? hillary clinton leads by 40 in the suburbs of philadelphia. that is huge movement. that is movement we do not

normally see from one presidential election to the next. that's why hillary clinton is opening up that big lead in pennsylvania. that's why -- that's an example of the type of voter she is reaching that has her ahead now nationally. >> so some of the pushback from republicans is sha that number on the screen in pennsylvania is the -- the impact that having the dnc in philadelphia has had on the race. is there anything in the numbers to indicate this is about location of the convention? >> i mean, it could be. i mean, 60 to 20. she could get a few extra points because of that. this is a smaller, relatively speaking, small sub sample. so there is a little bit of room for margin of error here. so take the number with the bit of a grain of salt. but clearly, hillary clinton is doing extremely well in the philadelphia suburbs right now. and i do think it's more than just the location affected. the dnc. in our national poll, when you look at those sort of white collar suburbites, she is leading by seven points with them. we have nephew seen that for a democrat before.

>> steve, thank you very much. greatly appreciate it. more developments now from the trump campaign. this morning, the republican nominee is backing down on a claim that he's made a campaign rallies for the past two days. trump says he saw an unmarked cargo plane delivering $400 million in cash to iran in january. at the same time, iran released four american detainees. he repeatedly said at rallies he saw the video on television. well, this morning, he tweeted out this. the plane i saw on television was the hostage plane in geneva, switzerland, not the plane carrying $400 million in cash going to iran. now trump claims the money was ransom, which president obama denied at his news conference yesterday, explaining that the money was part of a settlement of a decades-old claim. now right now, trump and his running mate, indiana governor, mike pence, are preparing to venture into what's been politically unfriendly territory for trump. wisconsin. trump lost the gop primary there

to ted cruz by double digits, as conservative radio host in the state promoted the never trump movement. now the state's top three republicans are all skipping tonight's rally in green bay. house speaker, paul ryan, who trump has refused to endorse into the primary, governor scott walker and senator ron johnson, who is in a tight race as well for re-election in november. nbc's hallie jackson, joins us live now from green bay. what do we know about the trump strategy, knowing where he is tonight, not only in the polls, but in the opinions of many republican voters? >> reporter: well, you have to look at the new polling numbers that steve was just talking about, and that he was explaining, showing particularly the shrinking advantage that trump has with demographics that have long made up the key parts of his base. when you talk about his strategy though, tamron, i think it is illuminating to see where he is today. iowa and then wisconsin. this is a state that barack obama won in 2012, went blue.

trump trying to turn it red. it is going to be an uphill battle for him in particular. he didn't win this state in the primaries. in fact, when you look back at how he did in the primaries, this one was where ted cruz won, and it starkd a lot of speculation about maybe the never trump movement was having its big comeback. obviously, it didn't turn out like that. but frankly, it's not trump territory. this is the region of reince and ryan who again this morning talked about donald trump on a radio show. this is some brand-new sound we have. i want you to listen. >> i'm just going to rise above this stuff. i'm not going to get involved in some sort of petty back and forth. i see no purpose in doing that. i'm going to be me and do my thing. yeah, i have spoken out a few times when i think that there are things that are said or done that just don't reflect our conservative principles. i said at the beginning of the year, and i said when i -- after i had doorsed him i will continue to do that if i think it's necessary. i hope it's not necessary, but unfortunately, it has been a few times. and that's just the way the

cookie crumbles. >> reporter: that's just the way the cookie crumbles, tamron. so you've got this -- this discussion -- speaker ryan obviously having his re-election primary coming up on tuesday. you know the sort of back and forth with trump, giving that online shoutout. he thinks paul ryan is a good guy, and according to mike pence, according to trump himself, gave encouragement to his running mate to go ahead and back ryan, his long-time friend and somebody that has been close to pence for a while now. >> so tonight's speech, is there any indication that trump will change what we have heard the past few days? again, we know that he now admits he never saw video of the money being taken on or off a plane. we're not sure exactly what brought him to this mission, his campaign, the very first day he mentioned this, said that clearly he had not seen it on television. it took two days for him to finally come around and

recognize the facts of the story. so what happens at this rally tonight? is he talking the economy? what do we know about this potential stump speech tonight? >> reporter: let me split this into two parts to that question, tamron. first of all, i will say we don't know exactly why trump tweeted this morning that apparent reversal on this plane video. but we can guess, and we can guess that it's because his advisers had all been coming out and saying, no, no, donald trump was in fact talking about this other video, the one of the detainees. trump himself just 18 hours ago even after his advisers were saying that, were directly contradictinging that by speaking about what he believed w was, as he said, money coming off of a plane he guessed as he said at a rally last night. i think that is part of the reason why you saw that tweet from trump this morning, as this story was picking up steam. as to the second part of your question, what can you talk about at his rally tonight. he hits on a number of familiar themes, he will discuss what the narrative on the road is. but on the road this week, after the convention? philadelphia, what you have seen is donald trump coming out and

trying to stay on script, frankly, at least in the last couple valleys, immediately going after hillary clinton and president obama. negative numbers on the economy. the gdp numbers. trump said very little about them that day. he has been talking about them more on the trail. so there are signs, early signs, that trump is perhaps listening to his advisers, sticking to his message, trying to keep the focus exactly where his campaign wants it. which is on the democrats. and not on these -- as nick said last hour, these food fights that keep coming up. >> thank you very much. and donald trump is also facing criticism today from a former head of the cia. in a "new york times" op-ed, michael morell, who served under both president george w. bush and president obama, makes the startling claim that vladimir putin is deliberately using trump as a, quote, unwitting agent for russia. my colleague, andrea mitchell, has more of that story. >> good morning. as the candidates are slugging

it out over national security, and you saw what the president said when he was drawn into it yesterday. this former top cia official has endorsed hillary clinton. with that charge that trump has let himself become the unwitting dupe of the russian president, vladimir putin. >> donald trump attacking hillary clinton thursday for her private server. saying she shouldn't receive the classified briefing to be given to both candidates. >> hillary clinton, furthermore, can never be trusted with national security. you can't brief her. let's protest. >> reporter: asked if trump should be briefing with the information, the president saying -- >> if they want to be president, they've got to act like president. >> reporter: mike morell, former deputy cia director, says trump would make a poor, even dangerous commander in chief. citing traits including, quote, his obvious need for self agrand eyesment and his over reaction to perceived slights.

the former intelligence official under george w. bush and president obama alleges vladimir putin, a former high-ranking kgb officer, played upon mr. trump's vulnerabilities by complimenting him. he responded just as mr. putin had calculated. trump often bragging about praise from the russian president. >> you know, putin called -- he said donald trump is brilliant, and donald trump is the leader and -- and he said nice things about me. >> reporter: morell writes, in the intelligence business, we would say that mr. putin had recruited mr. trump as an unwitting agent of the russian federation. trump also blasting president obama and hillary clinton for a controversial decision to return $400 million to iran. on the same day, iran was releasing four american detainees. however, clinton was long out of office, and the president says it was not ransom. >> we do not pay ransom for hostages. >> reporter: now, in fact, hillary clinton was also targeted by trump for that iran controversy, although she had

left office four years before those decisions were made. in a statement this morning, trump said that mike morell, the former cia official, was, quote, another obama/clinton pawn, trying to change the subject from the iran controversy. and he said hillary clinton has bad judgment and is unfit to serve as president. tamron? >> andrea, there has been a lot of talk of a similar strategy from the clinton campaign where we will see high-ranking former officials, whether they're in the military, intelligence, come out and stress their own individual concerns. donald trump certainly can refute and say these people are all pawns. but in reality, what kind of impact could this potentially have on those republicans who simply are not prepared to support donald trump. >> reporter: we're seeing an impact already from what happened during the democratic convention. when you saw a number of officials, you saw john allen, former general, who was excoriateded by donald trump afterwards. but when you saw a national security officials trying to show that he is unfit to serve,

to try to raise the issue of his temperament, that he is too risky to be commander in chief. and we're seeing now in our own polling that there are significant changes in the internals of that polling, as to who is better in a crisis. who is better to be commander in chief. it's now hillary clinton, not donald trump, to handle terrorism, for instance. so already there has been a shift that is definitely they're strategy. but today, interestingly, donald trump push back hard against this hit by the cia, the former cia official. just as the clinton campaign is out with a new ad, trying to make this very point, tamron. >> we'll talk more about that ad. thank you very much, andrea. to that point, hillary clinton's campaign following those strong polling numbers out this morning, in the next hour, hillary clinton will address the joint convention of the national association of black journalists and the national association of hispanic journalists being held in washington. meanwhile, the clinton campaign, as andrea mentioned, is out with a new tv ad that uses conservative voices, saying donald trump is not fit to be

commander in chief. >> if he governs, consistent with some of the things he said as a candidate, i would be very fritd frightened. >> he's been talking about the option of using a weapon. >> this is not someone who should be handed the nuclear codes. >> do you want a person of that it temperament in control of the nuclear codes. and as of now, i would have to say no. [ sighing ] >> joining me now, nbc news senior editor for politics, beth fooey. let's talk about how hillary clinton's campaign and the candidate has handled this week for donald trump. you know, there's this saying about dancing on someone's grave or letting them just keep digging themselves in. it's as if they're using these subtle ads like this one, but the candidate is still focused on her message of the economy. trying to let donald trump bury himself, in a sense. >> exactly. and really, she's been out of the news almost entirely this week. all we have been talking about is donald trump. and we know from the campaign

that they are just urging her to just keep her head down, just keep charging away, going to these campaign events. very noncontroversial. just not drawing any attention to herself whatsoever. because donald trump is basically emulating in the press coverage he's received, which has been so negative. this has been her strategy right from the start, kind of let it happen to him. hint through tweets or press releases, and now in that ad, that he's unraveling. he's unstable. that he's erratic. they are not fighting the normal sort of liberal conservative bin re that you usually see in presidential politics. it's really about who can handle this job. and she is letting him basically say to america, he's probably not the person to do that. >> and it's interesting. you have paul ryan, other gop leaders, who are saying this could have been a very bad week for hillary clinton. even that fox news interview, what she said about director comey and these e-mails. that was supposed to be a potential gotcha moment for her. if republicans could have seized, they were unable to do

that. >> right. well, because donald trump keeps stepping on the message. he does go to these events as halle was mentioning, and talk about these things that are liabilities for clinton. the fact she gave that fox news interview where she said comey had called her truthful about her e-mails, which he did not. but then he steps in it and goes after other people, refuses to endorse paul ryan, john mccain. he makes other headlines. so it can't be said that we're not paying attention to these problems that clinton could have caused for herself. he keeps making these enormous headlines by stepping on the message he is trying to get out which is she still has problems around e-mails, trust and so forth. >> the numbers that steve dug into, particularly this one that would be historic for the democratic party and for hillary clinton, white collar, college-educated whites here. right now she's leading 47% to his 40. her message is resonating clearly from this number. is the campaign concerned that

there is still a lot of time here, more than 09-plus days, and we have seen this be an unprecedented election in many other ways. >> well, and i would say, yes, there's quite a bit of time left. 95 days-plus. but here's another thing, tamron. hillary clinton, somebody who has watched her for many years, hillary clinton cannot allow herself to get complacent. that's when she gets sloppy. she starts making mistakes. we have seen that during the primaries. she had one strong debate, the first debate against bernie sanders, where everybody said she killed it, did really, really well, beat him. the second debate, she was sloppy and made mistakes. if they're being smart, they are telling her do not pay attention to any of this. the state polls can change. the national polls can change. stay on message, get ready for those debates. don't assume that this is going to stay this way. if they let her think that she gets sloppy and then they have problems. >> absolutely. thank you very much, great pleasure having your insight, as always. so long will conservatives continue to back donald trump? if his behavior continues? and what we have seen this week. the speaker of -- this has the

speaker of the wisconsin state assembly now says that he is embarrassed that trump is leading the gop ticket. remember, now, trump is headed to wisconsin today. hue hewitt will join us live to give us his thoughts on what can happen next. plus, the highly anticipated opening ceremony at the rio olympic games, just a few hours away. more than 500 american athletes competing. we are live in rio with the very latest. max and i just discovered this dog treat called dentalife. it's really different. see? it's flexible... ...and it has a chewy, porous texture, full of little tiny air pockets that gives dogs' teeth a clean scrub all the way down to the gum line.

we are back with a quick look at what officials are calling a better than projected jobs report out this morning. the economy adding 255,000 new jobs last month. that's about 75,000 more than expected. the unemployment rate stays about 4.9%. and let's get into all of this, and more, with our panel that we

have assembled, msnbc political analyst and radio host, hugh hewitt and dave weigel. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> let's talk about -- i really want to know where you stabbnd right now. june 15th, you explained why you were reversing course on trump and said clinton is the real risk. if we want to stop her, we can't dump trump. and you said trump's task is clear, time to abandoned his off-the-cuff remarks and focus more on hillary clinton, and her lack of judgment. that was june 15th. how do you explain your support of donald trump at this point? >> well, the supreme court is still in play and hillary still can't be believed. she doubled down on the fbi lie yesterday on denver television. i would say, tamron, though, that donald trump hasn't taken any of my suggestions yet.. the numbers that came out in the poll are have he alarming.

but it's august and i note that the clinton campaign went all in on the too dangerous ad, a full five weeks before lyndon johnson used the daisy ad against bear goldwater in '64. so her honesty problem continue to plague her as she continues to build up an august lead. i hope donald trump goes back and reads that, because my recommendations stay the same. focus on her untrustworthiness, her terrible record as secretary of state and stay away from below ballot dustups in our own party or elsewhere. >> hugh, clearly, he has not taken that advice and there is no indication he will. and when you say that hillary clinton has an honesty problem, let's just look today, for example. for two days, donald trump says he saw video on television of money being taken off a plane that iran had released this video. his campaign two days ago came out and said, no, no, no, the video he saw was actually the hostages coming back into geneva

he , switzerland. is that an honesty problem that concerns you? is that a temperament problem, a reality problem? when you have a candidate who claims -- and very much so on multiple occasions, that what he saw on television was an exchange of money with iran. >> hillary's honesty problem, tamron, is much, much bigger. nbc's own news poll that came out along with the "wall street journal" just yesterday showed she is only trusted by 38% of the people. that's very, very low for someone who has been in the public eye since 1992. it also showed -- chuck todd said earlier this morning on "morning joe," that the undercurrents in the election for change for turning washington, d.c. upside down are all working against hillary clinton. so these small episodes, these slides which don't work well for donald trump, in the overall current of the election, will get swept away if he comes back to shore in states focused on hillary clinton. that's why all these individual

episodes don't matter. what matters is they gave $400 million for hostages. what matters is her server was compromise. what matters is you can't trust anything she says and doubled down on the fbi lie yesterday. so i know that there are bad parts out there, it's a rough patch for donald trump. i'm just saying, she got lots of rough patches ahead. >> you once said, ignoring what donald trump said about judge cure curiel was like ignoring stage 4 cancer. are you ignoring stage 4 cancer at this point? >> no, of course not. i was very specific about judge curiel being race in america. and that if he had stayed tone deaf to race in america, it would destroy his candidacy and probably to republican party. he course-corrected. he usually does. i think he's course-corrected on gold star families, though after considerable damage to his campaign. so i believe that what you don't see on the clinton team is any course correction on her refusal to admit her lying about the fbi director. so where as he changes, she doesn't. and she can't do anything about

her record. >> dave, has donald trump indicated the change that hugh just rolled out? because i feel like we're in an alternate universe. yesterday you had the speaker of the house, a very popular leader within his party, say that donald trump's behavior has been strange, that he should have been focused on hillary clinton's problems, and the economy. and he's done none of that. so are we in an alternate universe here of denial within the party and with conservatives? >> i don't think so. there's frustration, because it's easy for conservatives to imagine another reality where any other republican was running. mike pence is running, let's say, and the message of every day would be what hugh is saying. would have spent the last three days talking about hillary clinton's e-mails again, litigating iran again and we're not because of what trump is saying. i would caution that his voters do not care about these stories, do not care even that the cia director -- former cia director, criticizes him. they think the establishment is out to get him.

but he can't break through the conversation with voters who don't like hillary clinton. that's the thing. there's still an electorate that does not like hillary clinton that he has a chance to appeal to. i'm just a little bit surprised that he wants to litigate -- some of this in wisconsin, which for reasons that were brought up earlier in the show is one of the worst places in the country for him to seek support and sustenance from republicans. he's going to have, i think, another bad four or five days of republican in fighting there. that's not going to hurt his base, just take time away from his ability. >> we know from the polls from the "washington post," nbc news, many others, he can't win with his base. i think there is a clear acknowledgment that the supporters for donald trump, 14 million of them, that voted for him in the primaries, not enough to propel him to victory in a general election. he needs millions more. our poll shows, steve kornacki highlighted, college-educated white voters right now 47% for hillary clinton, 40% for donald trump. you have in the suburbs of

philadelphia right now, hillary clinton at 60%. donald trump at 20%. so we can beat a hammer to the wall about his core supporters. they will not get him in the white house. not that group alone. >> >> one thing trump acknowledged this week, almost offhand, but i think in a kind of telling way, was many big crowds don't mean everything. he's in a unique position. usually people losing like this don't pull out giant crowds, 10, 20 times the size of their opponents in the polls. the other thing is, let's just cast our memories back two weeks ago. mid july, they were in panic mode she did not seem to be building a lead over him. they are now in panic mode, some of them, that maybe republicans who thus far have proven completely inept at stopping donald trump will find a way to stop him now. but liberals will be panicking again soon about this election. and the facts on the ground about the hillary record, the way that can be brought up, that's not going to change. >> hugh, let's go back quickly

to the donald trump issue of trust, where at this point, do you believe he knows vladimir putin? this started on sunday. we have all played the tapes. you have seen where his answer has changed. multiple times from he knew him personally, they have talked on the phone, to yeah, if you showed me a picture, i would recognize him. what do you believe donald trump's relationship is with vladimir putin, based on what he has said that we played on tape? >> well, tamron, i think donald trump hopes that we continue to talk about russia for the rest of the campaign. because the reset button that mrs. clinton gave to the foreign secretary of the russia federation obviously had had the keys to her server in it. mike morell -- >> is that the answer to the question, hugh? with all due respect. >> just a second, tamron. it takes a second. >> let me play this new ad. that hillary clinton has out. >> you don't want the answer, tamron. the problem is that mike morell, who you brought up earlier today, has confirmed that her server was promised by the russians.

and therefore, when he writes a "new york times" editorial today, the impact of it is muted, because even her onan doorserses admit she was reckless. donald trump wants to talk about russia and the reset button all day long. >> are you being reckless by not answering the question when i say from donald trump's own answers, is he lying about his relationship with vladimir putin? he has said in one case he knows him. and the other case, he does not. which is the truth, hugh? >> tamron, you need much more context. as every journalist knows, i need much more context. >> let me ask you in context of the new ad. let's play the ad from the hillary clinton campaign with -- >> the too dangerous ad? okay. >> let's show that. >> if he governs, consistent with some of the things he has said as a candidate, i would be very frightened. >> he's been talking about the option of using a nuclear weapon against our western european allies. >> this is not somebody who should be handed the nuclear codes. >> you have to ask yourself, do i want a person of that

temperament in control of the nuclear codes. and as of now, i would have to say no. >> paul manafort says in two weeks donald trump will get classified briefings. why are all those conservatives in the ad wrong in your belief and donald trump right? >> this is the ad i referred to at the top of the segment. i believe the clinton campaign is playing it to early, they're trying to nail down the fact he's too dangerous. this appeal doesn't work. as dave weigel mentioned, the debates, if donald trump carries it off like reagan did in 1980, he'll reverse a deficit if he calms fear. so to play this early, i think, is just a sign of desperation. >> is it an accurate card to play? >> no, i don't think it is. i think too dangerous is not something you can say in august. i think that do dangerous will be determined either yes or no in the debates. so i agree with dave weigel completely. i think most journalists would agree that it's a very too soon

to say how this will play out in terms of a long -- >> dave, i think most journalists have agreed, this is an unconventional campaign, as we like to call it. so to play by the old playbook of when to release an ad may not be effective. if you have the ammunition now, in this unprecedented election, why not have an ad like this? i don't think that many people can recall that many republicans of note coming out again, especially in intelligence, against a candidate within their own party. >> probably not since 1964. and i think the clinton lesson, the playbook they're taking is from 1996 when bill clinton tried to discredit bob dole early and 2012, president obama did that to mitt romney. they're trying to do that. but the point hugh is making i think is correct. we don't know how this is going to look after the olympics and after the debates. it is possible for trump to melt down on stage. possible for him to sound credible and puncture hillary in

ways she is not being punctured right now. they are broadcasting the worry about this. they're very smart in the clinton campaign in hinting they might launch ads into georgia and indiana and expand the map. but they're doing that as a way of suppressing what they expect to be a rise for trump support later in the campaign. they -- >> well, i think everyone acknowledges a correction of numbers in the polls. but to not acknowledge where things stand at this moment, yes, we have the olympics. but we actually have numbers out now of an unprecedented type. and to completely ignore it and believe that this candidate who has not listened to anyone in his campaign, there's no credible information at this hour that donald trump will change. correct? >> no. i believe that -- that's true. he is making similar mistakes that throw him off message, and it's hard to -- it's hard to cast forward in the future. everyone who said he has evolved and learned and stopped doing this.

>> they have been wrong. >> they have been wrong. but i think there are going to be incidents that drive -- i think refocus the campaign in a month or so, and we don't know how he's going to approach those. not when he can throw a gaffe in the middle of the week and change it when there is a debate, when there is something hillary clinton does. i just think, we're probably -- we might be seeing the absolute apex to hillary clinton support right now. and it's tough to cast forward based on polling and right after a convention in the state where the convention was held after one bad weekend for trump. >> well, as steve kornacki pointed out when i asked him about if her bump was related to the location of the convention itself, there is nothing to indicate that. and also the number was so significant, 60 to 20%, even if you shave some off, that would still be a significant bump for her in a philadelphia suburb of white college educated. so we can chew over the numbers all day. but you two must know something st of the world has not seen, that donald trump has the ability to modify his message. so you -- you're either clear

have told women they don't have the tests yet. meanwhile, florida's governor says the miami neighborhood believed to be the epicenter of the local outbreak has been cleared of the virus. nbc's kerry sanders joins us now from miami. and kerry, that is a big development in the story. considering that's been the focus all week, that particular neighborhood. >> reporter: well, the governor says that the area has been cleared. but he has to put a little fine point on it. that is that the mosquitoes gathered in this area in traps. he says more than 20,000 have not shown any evidence of the virus in their systems. but that does not mean that the zika zone is completely zika-free. they have carved out a small ten-block area where they say that part of the zika zone in the one square mile does not have any evidence of all. but there is still a zika zone here, and that's why, as you see here, they're continuing to spray in this area, not only on the ground using biological agents to try to control the

mosquito population, but also now putting a plane up over the area, spraying a ten-square mile area here with a chemical called nalid, a chemical that appears to be working, haven't seen any squooe mosquitoes, but mosquito control says they are getting evidence in returns from their investigations that it has been successful too. pregnant women, of course, are the greatest concern right now, because the zika virus can create problems with their pregnancies. microcephaly is an issue that causes brain development and skull development in children, and we have seen some of those horrifying pictures from mothers who have given birth in puerto rico, in brazil. and some who have traveled here to the united states with zika virus and also, as well. thomas frieden, director of the cdc, did say this is very important, the people understand the threat from zika. >> all right, kerry -- >> just to be very clear, zika

is unprecedented. we have never before had a mosquito-borne disease that could cause a birth defect. that's why we take it so seriously. as long as there is zika spreading anywhere, pregnant women should take the steps to protect themselves. >> there is no current vaccine for zika, but they are working desperately to come up with one, including at walter reed. tamron, money is the real issue here. the president had requested back in february $1.9 billion, but then the senate and the house sort of let this go back and forth, and never really fully funded. so the cdc has been robbing peter to pay paul, taking money from the ebola fund to handle this, and thomas frieden and the cdc says it shouldn't be that way, and, of course, we heard the president say they need to come back from their vacation -- they're on recess now, a seven-week vacation, for those elect to go to washington -- and deal with this issue. but right now, it remains as it

is. according to the cdc, a developing crisis, one no longer just overseas, but right here as well. >> kerry sanders, thank you very much. we are now just hours away from the opening ceremony of the 2016 olympic games in rio. rehearsals and preparations still going on, which has taken five years to produce, 300 dancers, 5,000 volunteers, 12,000 costumes. the ceremony will be held in the famous maracana stadium, home to brazil's legendary soccer team, athletes from more than 200 countries will participate in the games. team usa has the largest contingent at the game. with 556 athletes going for the gold. many of those were on handled yesterday for the u.s. flag-raising at the olympic village. nbc's ron mott is in rio. i feel i've stolen your entire script of what you can say about the games, ron. given that -- >> reporter: i've got nothing left to add. >> you can't tell us what's going to happen. but go ahead.

>> reporter: right. ll, i can tell you the one secret is we don't know who the person is going to make the final walk up to the olympic cauldron and light it. the buzz is that pele, the soccer star huge in the '70s, put brazil and international football on the map. we believe he might be the guy. i can't think of anyone else, really, who would be more appropriate. sort of like muhammad ali in 1996 in atlanta. that surprise still out there. what isn't a surprise any more, we've got the opening ceremony tonight. 35,000 people have worked on this opening ceremony tonight. the creative director describes this as cool. they want a cool show versus what they said was a grandiose show in beijing in 2008. that's a show that a lot of people felt will never be topped. so they're looking for cool here. tom brady's wife, gisele bundch bundchen, we don't know if she will be live or a video presentation.

a lot of people expecting to see her, me included. tomorrow, we have competition that a lot of people want to watch. the u.s. women's soccer team against france, a big match because after their 2-0 victory over new zealand the other day, france and u.s. considered the best in the group. so the u.s. wants to win the match tomorrow. obviously going for their fourth gold in a row, fifth gold all-time if they can do it. and they want to be the first team to win the world cup and then the next year come back and win gold. men's basketball coming up this weekend. they play tomorrow against china, and swimming and gymnastics on sunday. so for everybody at home, this is a good weekend to just sit on the couch with the remote and just switch from all of the networks from sport to sport, tamron. >> sounds like a plan, buddy. i love it. thank you so much. see you soon. coming up, a new first in space travel, a private company granted permission to land on the moon next year. that's coming up next. take a look at these bbq trophies: best cracked pepper sauce... most ribs eaten while calf roping...

. for the first time ever, the u.s. government has given permission to a private company to do something nasa hasn't done in more than 40 years. land on the moon. the company of florida startup called moon express, got the go ahead from the faa this week after six years and about $30 million in investment. the company plans to send a small unmanned spacecraft to the moon's surface next year and collect that $20 million grand prize being offered by google to be the first team to land on the moon. i'm joined by tara malik, managing editor of space.com. thank you so much for your time. >> pleasure. >> all right. so right now we have, what, about 16 companies competing here. >> 16 private teams. some have their own companies, some are just kind of hobbyists. >> this is a heck of a hobby to have. >> that's right. >> but right now, this moon express has all the attention. >> that's right. so this is a first company now to kind of get approval from the government, from the faa, to launch their moon lander to the

moon next year. this moon lander called mx-1. and it's kind of a big moment, because no one has really had to get approval to land on the moon. >> why do they need approval now? >> this is a pay load approval that the faa is giving. so the faa is saying this vehicle you built, mx-1, is okay for you to launch, safe for the public, safe for the folks that are going to monitor it up in space. and then you can land on the moon and do what you're going to try to do. and so they had -- the first time this has happened, really. so they had to iron out all the kinks, not just the faa. the department of defense got involved. and a lot of other agencies. >> so this is a part of the google lunar x prize. what does it look like for moon express? >> they're one of the front runners to have this. a few other teams have had rocket deals in the past. we have seen them kind of trickle out now. the deadline, i believe, is at the end of next year. so you can see the race is starting to heat up now. so having that approval now to

launch the probe is another big notch for them. they already have a rocket to launch it on. so this kind of puts them out in front. >> so the big challenge right now, as i understand it, they have yet to assemble the a is t the robotic lander. that's a big, big part of the things that they have to get done clearly before the end of the year. >> exactly. they've got okay to build what they want to build, now they have to build it, make sure it works -- >> is there enough time? is there enough time? >> they've been working on a lot at the same time. once they have the approval done, that's the final red tape hurdle. they can focus on making sure the hardware is ready, making sure whatever kind of final glitches they have that are ironed out and trying it on this rocket. >> this can be expensive, but it's privately funded as you mentioned. >> exactly. they have a big prize at the end. moon express is not hoping to launch one mission there and be done. they're hoping for at least three, maybe five and maybe even

now to one of the biggest hot button issues in the race for the white house. the controversy over gun ownership. in texas a federal judge ruled thursday that he would decide next week whether to block the state's new campus carry law. that allows concealed handguns at state universities. three professors at the university of texas at austin are suing to ban guns in the classrooms before school resumes at the end of the month.

campus carry went into effect monday when exactly 50 years ago a student went on a killing spree while atop the ut clock tower. ultimately leaving 17 people dead. i went back to the campus as part of my new special on investigation discovery. guns on campus, tamron hall investigates. it premiers on sunday. here's a sneak peek now. >> opinions about the bill are so strong, even the chancellor of the university of texas, the former navy admiral responsible for the mission to kill oh is a baa bin laden weighs in with a letter. >> it's my pleasure to read this letter from chancellor william h. mcgraven -- >> to some, his opinion is surprising. >> i would have serious concerns about introducing concealed weapons into these environments. >> why did you feel it was so important to in a sense go against what some would say are your roots? >> because i understand what guns can do. >> mcgraven says his concern is

safety on campus. >> isn't the military, hundreds of thousands of rounds later, you become proficient at using your weapon. but if you happen to be a young man or woman that you want to get a weapon, you go do the training, you fire at paper targets and now you think you're capable of fending off an active shooter, i think you're going to find you're mistaken. >> personal freedom is also important to many of those who advocate for the law. >> campus carry for me is about people being able to make it personal decision about how they choose to defend themselves. >> my guns on campus special premiers this sunday night at 10:00 p.m. eastern. i think our team did an incredible job of thoughtfully presenting both sides. we talked to a survivor of the virginia tech shootings. we also talked with a young woman who was assaulted on her campus. he was licensed to carry, did not have her weapon that day, she believes if she had a weapon on her, it would have saved hear from her attacker. we have both in the room to

discuss how they feel about guns on campus. it's riveting television and we're proud of it and hope you're able to watch it on sunday. we'll be right back. ...and it has a chewy, porous texture, full of little tiny air pockets that gives dogs' teeth a clean scrub all the way down to the gum line. (vo) purina dentalife. for life. and i quit smoking with i'm chantix. i decided to take chantix to shut everybody else up about me quitting smoking. i was going to give it a try, but i didn't really think it was going to really happen. after one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix.

some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side-affect is nausea. being a non-smoker feels great. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. no, i'm scheduling time to go oto the bank to get a mortgage. ugh, you're using a vacation day to go to the bank? i know, right? just go to lendingtree.com.
