well, you can't say that the presidential race has been boring. donald trump continues to take down just about everybody in his path and is now causing a divide within his own party. >> joining us now to talk about this and new polling numbers, moderator of "meet the press,"

chuck todd. definitely not boring especially when you talk about the gop side of things. what about this new iowa poll. it shows ted cruz ten points ahead of donald trump. are we starting to see a reflection about his comments not letting muslims enter the u.s.? >> no. because if we look at the numbers, trump numbers have ticked up i think a point or two technically in that poll, sort of held steady. this is about ted cruz built successfully, slowly, methodically and successfully a really smart campaign in iowa, and he is starting to consolidate the traditional vote that you need in iowa to win, which is evangelicals. he has every major endorsement you need to consolidate that vote. he has gotten. and i think the poll is now a reflection of the campaign he's put together in iowa. >> yeah, and given trump's comments about muslims and banning them, cruz didn't really formally admonish him for all of

that, right? >> no, he didn't because look, cruz knows his path to getting the nomination, evangelicals alone isn't enough. you no ed to put together -- there's basically three chupgs of voters and two of them. he's got evangelicals. looks like rubio is starting to consolidate the establishment. and the trump vote's a little bit of a different voter. they're pretty angry. they're pretty anti-washington, anti-elite. cruz thinks he's got a better shot at those voters obviously than the voters that are more attracted to rubio or bush or those folks. that's why you have cruz doing what he's doing, which is practically hugging trump in public. >> and you know, what trump usually does, the moment someone starts to gain a little edge on him is he directly targets them. is that what we're seeing at this point? >> you know, past is prologue here, right? you assume that's what's going to happen. >> i feel like he likes cruz. >> he does and that's what's going to be interesting. how does he go after him? because anybody that's taken the lead on him, he's gone after

them. the last "des moines register" had carson ahead. the last "wall street journal" poll had carson ahead. he went after his biography. by the way, carson never had attacked him. and trump always claims i'm a counterpuncher and all this stuff. but the minute somebody, you know, when carson got traction, he went after him. he's going to go after him this week. we've got a debate. we know he's going to do it. the question is how. does he go after him personally? on policy? does he go after him on his experience? i don't know how he does it, but i think it's pretty clear it's coming. >> you've got marco rubio on the show today and there's also a new nbc poll? >> new "wall street journal". it's really interesting. we're able to show you this is turning into a three-way race probably, it looks like. and if it stays that way, we're going to the convention. i mean, it is -- there are three distinct blocs of republican voters that are sort of starting to sort themselves between trump, cruz and rubio. and as the weeks go on, you can

see this forming, and it's not clear how any of them get to 50%. >> wow. >> okay. well, a lot to talk about coming up. >> also got john kerry. we added him late. right after i talked to him after midnight in paris, talked about the new climate deal and he talks a little bit about homegrown terror. >> packed show. >> always. why shouldn't i? i can't just mail it in here, right? come on, now. >> absolutely. chuck, thanks so much for joining us. and a reminder, you can see "meet the press" every sunday right here on nbc 4 right after "news 4 today." a record number of volunteers came out to honor those who gave their lives for this country. wreaths were placed on each of the 227,000 veterans' graves. the event is part of wreaths across america which does the same thing as countless military cemetery as cross the country. well, they're surrounded by killers, kidnappers and crooks, behind bars protecting us and each other. but is a shortage of prison guards making them a prime

target? >> yeah, an investigation by scott mcfarland and the news 4 iteam reveals that a series of attacks raising questions about the safety of men and women who guard local prisoners and protect local communities. >> reporter: it's morning rounds at a federal prison in washington state. this officer opens the cell door just like he does most days. except this day is different. watch assen inmate sitting nearby jumps up and attacks him. it's only after other inmates intervene that the correctional officer is safe. there is no footage available of the attack that killed gene williams' son, eric. >> we got a knock on our door at 1:30 in the morning. >> reporter: an inmate at a prison in pennsylvania stabbed her son 200 times with a makeshift blade. >> we never got to say good-bye. >> reporter: his parents say he was a veteran police officer who decided to change careers. >> it took eight minutes for

this attack to take place. >> reporter: his father says eric was a sitting duck. >> he was the only person with these highly violent inmates, and he was unarmed. what he had was a set of keys. >> reporter: such attacks have led to pickets and protests by federal prison officers in recent months saying they're in danger because staffing is too thin. >> many staff members have received death threats. >> reporter: a union leader in cumberland, maryland, says the number of attacks there on staff is rising there, too. at least seven injured since 2013. you've got too many inmates and no the enough guards? >> exactly. >> reporter: the i-team found the federal prisons in our region have 500 fewer staff including officers than they're authorized to have. just 92% of the staff are authorized to have by the u.s. congress. >> when you have hundreds of inmates in confined space and

there's only one corrections officer and that has often been the case, that's a recipe for disaster. >> reporter: u.s. senator bob casey has formerly proposed a new law to equip more federal corrections officers with pepper spray to help them defend themselves. starr says in recent months? guards in our area were equipped only with radios and keys. >> it's really no secret, inmates know this, they know that we're the most vulnerable. >> reporter: in february the u.s. bureau of prisons authorized all staff to carry pepper spray. they authorized it. but a spokesman wouldn't tell the i-team how many employees actually have it, how many actually carry the pepper spray now. and as for the staffing levels, the agency says it's never had 100% staffing, that it must use its budget for more than staff, for food, medical care, lights and water. eric williams' parents say less than 100% staffing should not be acceptable. >> to me that's a no-brainer and it's going to lead to a problem. >> reporter: the u.s. bureau of

prisons declined an interview. we expect to file a decision to senator casey's bill by the end of next year. scott macfarlane, news 4 i-team. 6:48 on this sunday morning and we're going to break out the shorts, the flip-flops. >> and maybe -- >> sunglasses again. >> maybe even reach some record highs? >> maybe near the record. people are demanding an encore, so second act today. >> give the people what they want, tom. >> yes, the curtain is rising on another gorgeous day here. out our video window here in nbc looking off to the east, that's our live tower camera. look at that gorgeous pink and gold sunrise under way. you can see there's a little thin veil of fog over the city, just a little bit of humidity in

temperatures right now in the 40s. most locations in the shenandoah valley in the low to mid-50s. post your picture like jen johnson did of this gorgeous sunrise yesterday morning at lee sylvania state park. share yours on instagram. look at the area temperatures. big difference between right near the bay waters, but inland away from the waters low 70s. much of maryland and virginia, up near the pennsylvania border out of the mountains many locations there will be in the upper 60s to near 70 but the warmest temperatures may be manassas, leesburg, over to la plata. it will be in the low 70s and that cooler weather right around the chesapeake bay. tomorrow morning patchy, dense fog in the 50s and between 8:00 and 9:00 the fog still lingers.
