7:05 am
night, focused on rallying his supporters. >> i believe it is our campaign that is generating the excitement and the interest for a large voter turnout. >> reporter: at the drake diner in des moines, voters had opinion. >> does this hillary clinton e-mail matter? >> yes. i feel it is a skeleton in the closet. >> i don't think it will have that big an effect. >> reporter: in a statement released late last night, sanders again reiterated he is not interested in the e-mail issue. he is interested in the issues that matter to voters. both candidates cross the state today. eight events between them. one, secretary clinton will be joined by gabby giffords. erica, back to you. >> kristen, thanks. the gop candidates wasted little time reacting to the clinton news. nbc's hallie jackson has more.
7:06 am
this time the candidates are getting ready for a dozen events in the final countdown to the caucuses, the last big push. taking aim not only at east ch other, but across the aisle at hillary clinton. the favorite target on the campaign trail, facing new fire from the gop rivals. >> hillary clinton is disqualified. disqualified from being commander in chief. >> reporter: marco rubio calling the latest news about the e-mail release unacceptable. >> maybe she thinks she's above the law or maybe she wanted to read the stuff on her blackberry and have that convenient. >> hillary clinton on her e-mail server had 22 top secret e-mails. well, that actually is an accurate statement. this is getting more and more serious. >> reporter: clinton's campaign spokesperson on defense. >> we know that these e-mails
7:07 am
classified at the time they were sent or received. >> reporter: republicans quick to pounce. donald trump tweeting the e-mail release is a disaster and slamming what he calls clinton's bad judgment. saving his hardest hits for republican rival. >> ted cruz may not be a u.s. citizen, but he's an anchor baby. he is an anchor baby. ted cruz is an anchor baby in canada. >> reporter: cruz laughing it off in iowa. >> senator, trump called you an anchor baby today. any response to that? just laughter is what you take away from it? >> i like donald and he's welcome to say whatever he likes. i like and respect him. that's all i got to say. right now, it is up to the voters to decide. >> reporter: the two iowa frontrunners. >> we will do well in iowa. >> reporter: just a weekend away from the caucuses. >> i am having a fantastic time. we have 77 hours to go.
7:08 am
the finish line. cruz striking a bit of a different tone over the last 24 hours out on the campaign trail. backing off some of the unprompted attacks against donald trump. marco rubio, meanwhile, also out holding rallies today hoping for a strong third place finish here guys, hoping to pick up momentum after the debate thursday night. >> hallie jackson in iowa. thank you. >> mark halperin is with us. gentlemen, good morning. they join us from iowa. >> good morning, erica. >> let's start off with the e-mails. mark, i know you were saying yesterday on "morning joe" there is a lot of chatter among fbi agents. what are you hearing could come down the line? >> well, look, what is going on with secretary clinton is involving not just her, but staff. we know the people at the fbi and justice department are looking at it not as a criminal
7:09 am
whether because of the private server, she handled everything correctly. this disclosure will heighten the sense that the fbi will have to interview members of her staff and secretary clinton. it doesn't mean she will be indicted, but from a political point of view it is she is called to talk to the fbi, while fighting for the presidency, it will happen into concerns that kristen welker's piece that it does matter to voters. >> john, is this something we are talking about or is this something that voters in iowa or voters in new hampshire or voters in south carolina, is this something voters talking about right now? is this resonating on the campaign trail? >> not very much at all. it never has over the course of
7:10 am
heard a lot of concern. a lot of concern on republican voters, but not democratic voters. this issue will not have much effect for hillary clinton to be the democratic nominee. it may spur fear on the democratic establishment that hillary clinton could be vulnerable on the general election. if she gets there, the republicans will make a lot of hay with in the fall. >> and on the ground in iowa, donald trump is defying any stereotype the way anything is done traditionally in politics. the question is can the numbers we see in the polls and terms of people at the rallies translate into votes. what is your sense? will they come out to caucus in bigger numbers, mark? >> this is the moment when donald trump needs to go from as you suggested from the unorthodox candidate to an orthodox candidate.
7:11 am
come to the rallies and turn out to the caucuses. good to remind people. this is not a normal primary that people are used to. you have to vote several hours on monday night and go to a particular location at a particular time. trump's team is not inexperienced. they know caucuses are different. he has a lot of iowans who have done this in the past. we will see on monday. my sense is they know exactly how big the stakes are. if his operation does perform in iowa, he will be in a commanding position for the nomination. i believe at least in part his operation will work. this will not be a collapse. it could be a powerful force pal legal to the force he has been. >> mark and john in the hawkeye state saturday morning. thank you. we have you covered at the caucuses. we will be live on monday. one of the inmates who escaped from the california jail last week is behind bars this

as the number of zika cases continues to rise in the united states, the scientists are learning more about the effects. the cases here are all from folks who traveled to one of the affected countries. we have rehema ellis with us this morning where the virus has hit hard. >> reporter: good morning, craig. here in brazil, authorities are working hard to stop the spread of the zika virus. going door-to-door to educate people on how to protect themselves. months ago, many expectant mothers had no idea the threat to their unborn babies. when this baby was born two months ago, his family immediately knew something was different. the youngest of three children, he was diagnosed with microcephaly. he is one of 4,000 babies born with the disease since october. the children have an abnormally
7:15 am
the disease effects every aspects of the child's mental and physical development and possibly life span. >> what did doctors tell you about his development? his mother says she doesn't know if he will ever walk or talk. for babies with microcephaly, there is no treatment for cure. the family takes it one day at a time. his father julio, said she has symptoms in her third month of researchers believe mosquitoes are spreading the virus linked with microcephaly. the virus is now present in at least 24 countries and territories. the cdc is keeping a close watch on the presence of the virus in the u.s. >> we have not seen viruses like zika spread widely here simply because people have screens in their houses and air conditioning.

we have yet to have a domestically or locally transmitted viral mosquito bite. to our knowledge, these here are not infected with zika. >> if you are exposed to the zika virus, not pregnant, but would like to try to conceive, how long do you have to wait? >> we believe the virus stays in the body for a few days to up to a week. intuitively, if you have been exposed or travel to an area where zika virus is exposed and you return, you want to wait a week or two before trying to conceive. >> should you get checked by your doctor to be safe? >> that's the thing. most doctors would do this on a case by case basis. most people don't know they are infected. they are asymptomatic. that means testing every single woman who returns from one of
7:18 am
although we can test for it, it is not an easily commercially available test. it has to be sent to a laboratory. the doctor will do a case by case depending on the high risk exposure. >> no vaccine. no cure at this point. this is a disease that has been around since the late '40s, i believe. why has there not been a vaccine created in 70 years? >> the first documented outbreak in 2007. then in poll ynesia. the thing with the diseases, craig, the outbreaks are sporadic and unpredictable. there is not a lot of attention paid to the viruses that seem innocuous. >> now an emergency meeting with
7:19 am
>> the goal according to dr. chan is three-fold. you want to make sure you have the appropriate amount of international concern. we want to say is this an international health threat or not? you want all of the resources going to the right places and prioritize which countries need what. that's the basis of the meeting. >> okay. dr. natalie azar, thank you. we like to know what you are concerned about when it comes to the zika virus. you can tweet us. @todayshow. we will answer some of the questions in the next hour. in canada, a major avalanche has killed five people. the avalanche in mcbride, british columbia swept through snowmobilers in the area. a social media giant is

8:14 am
>> hello. >> let's start with the zika virus. we have a question of what stage of gestation is exposure? >> the first trimester is the most vulnerable. that is when the central nervous system is forming. that can be the most critical. that doesn't rule out a problem could occur later on in pregnancy if you are exposed. >> the next question coming to us from maven. we answered it in the 7:00. if infected, how long does the pregnant. then could an infected man's sperm pose a risk? this goes back if this is transmitted sexually. >> i'll answer the second question first. there are some reports that the virus can be detected in saliva and semen.
8:15 am
create the concern about sexual transmission. the main mode of transmission is the mosquito bites. issue of how long you have to wait, i want to make clear, we don't know everything about the virus. we are learning more about the virus and mosquito that carries it. we believe it stays in your system up to a week. if you are planning on becoming pregnant, wait a couple weeks before exposure. >> moving on. we have been talking about the water crisis in flint. we keep talking about lead. a t.lot of americans live in homes built before the '70s with lead pipes and paint. what are the true effects of lead poisoning? >> a concern for children under the age of 6 as well as fetus in the womb having exposure. again, because the main side effect or issue can be cognitive impairment in young children. the stages of early development. >> and how you test people to
8:16 am
determine exposure to lead. >> it can be done with a finger prick, you can get a positive test. you can speak to your doctor about getting your child tested for lead exposure or yourself. speak to your health department. you want to renovate carefully. that is the main concern. chips. >> and the next headline had us thinking about the new year's resolutions. working out and working out harder and more. more exercise doesn't burn more calories? i don't get it. >> intuitively it doesn't make a lot of sense. there is more research out over what you eat than energy you spend to maintain or lose weight. if you are a very active person and exercise regularly, if you spend an extra hour at the gym,
8:17 am
anymore calories than you normally do in the day. the main difference comes in someone sedentary. people who don't exercise at all, for them, walking and taking the stairs is actually going to make a difference. the idea is biologically, we have a certain amount of energy we expend every day. it doesn't vary when your level is doing cognizant. >> does that mean i can have a glass of wine instead? >> yeah, no. don't interpret it that way. >> natalie, thank you. still ahead, a look at the highly anticipated series, "the people versus o.j. simpson" and why the doctor who first discovered the cte in football players says simpson is suffering from it as well. but first this is "today" on

will smith in "concussion" says he suspects that he has chronic traumatic encephalphy. >> our experience says somebody who plays football for 10 to 20 years, plus has severe personality changes mid life, including violence and impulse control, we diagnose them with cte. it is reasonable to think simpson has been suffering for a while. >> reporter: for many, that is not the excuse. ron goldman's family telling dr. phil they feel the series takes attention away from the victims adding the filmmakers never contacted them. >> we have a whole new generation who never saw this
