we'll continue to stay on top of it for you as the details come in to our newsroom. >> most definitely. i want to turn our attention to politics. some presidential contenders took their show on the road this past week, heading to the iowa state fair to talk with potential voters and some who will remain nameless landed their helicopter and then got on a golf cart to ride around. guess who did that? >> guess who? just back from the fair and here to talk about how things went there is moderator of "meet the press," chuck todd. >> lincoln chafee helicopter? i went with him this time. >> it wasn't him? >> no, no, it was -- >> you know who it was. >> trump. what's his name, trump. yeah. >> so not only did donald trump, you know, make his grand entrance, but you did get a one-on-one with him and you know a lot of his skeptics say he doesn't provide a lot of real substance at this point. did you find that he did this time? >> look, i'm going to let the viewers decide. he does debut the first policy paper, immigration, there are some things in there that are

going to certainly not -- not a traditional way to try to win over latino voters. he's seeking an end to birth right citizenship. he wants to take that away. continues to believe he has a way of making mexico pay for building a big wall. we'll rescind the dream act executive order that president obama -- so this is in line with his rhetoric. it's sort of more details on that. look, we talked about a lot of stuff. we went through isis, iran. i think a surprising thing to people, he'd keep the iran deal. not happy about it, but he would keep it. it was a different trump. it does feel as if he's trying to create phase two trump. the first one was look at me, now it's a hey, take me seriously. >> right. >> we'll see. >> he needs new hats to be taken seriously, did you tell him that? >> he's a big fan of the hats.

i had to talk him out of wearing the hat in the interview. >> do you think he's still -- he will tell you otherwise, but of course, but he's got to be at least a little bit surprised that he's still on top. >> you know, he won't say it, but yes, there is -- he has more staying power than he expected that what's i mean, i think -- who knows what he thought, how long he would stay. i think his goal was to get in first debate. there's no more talk of now, okay, is this just sort of playing this out? there's no obvious exit ramp. there's no -- "the apprentice" is gone. he doesn't have something else to go to right now. i think he's -- i think the question i have is even front-runners dip in the polls eventually. what happens when he's no longer in first place? does he grind it out? or does he take a bow and goes home? that to me is the next test for him as a candidate for staying power. >> on the other side, hillary clinton and the e-mail scandal continues to follow her. do you think it is staying with

her more so than she would have ever imagined it would? >> yes, and i think part of is how they handled it. they always treated it as a partisan attack from the house republicans. i think when you have the words fbi now taking over part of the investigation into the server, the voters i talked to in iowa, democrats that i talked to, that's gotten their attention. that has sunk in. and that's where you start seeing -- i came away and maybe it's august, i came away after my three days, wow, thinking she doesn't have this in the bag. if joe biden gets in, this could be interesting. >> we know you have who trump and who else? >> bernie sanders. he gets big crowds, to experience it, to talk to voters, but the most fascinating thing i found about sanders, i can't tell you how many voters would say good things about trump and how many trump supports would say nice things about sanders. they're both tapping into the same outsiderness, and even though neither one wants to be associated with the other,

voters are associating them together. >> interesting. >> wait until you hear sanders' response to that. >> thank you, chuck. a reminder, you can see "meet the press" every sunday right here on nbc4. right after "news4 today." well, a win for girls this morning, for the third straight year, girls passed virginia learning standards test at a higher rate than the boys did. we went through new data in 2015, 82% of the girls passed reading compared to 76% boys. and in writing it was worse. the gaps closed in math and science. 82 to 77 and a tie at 82 respectively there. good for you guys. some personal information collected by the national security agency was provided by at&t. "the new york times" reports that in 2003, at&t led the way on a new kind of information collection capability.

"the times" said they forwarded if 400 billion internet records and those were taken by snowden and famously made public. "game of thrones" is about ruthless politics and immorality and murder. now you can study that in school. this summer, uc berkeley is offering a class based on the show. the class's professor says he stard lobbying for permission to teach it back in season one. it says here that the boys might do better at "the game of thrones" class than -- >> hey. i think that might be fair to say. i know my husband would certainly would do better than me. >> let's see. l let's talking about the weather today. it will be warm. >> it will be a little humid but very similar to yesterday. plenty of sunshine. highs warm into the 90s across the area. here's a live look outside right
