sanders has a big lead and very close in iowa and the clinton campaign wants to make sure they state. >> dan: let's go to 2008 about this time hillary clinton was in the lead and yet again a little known senator out of illinois by the name of barack obama who was starting to catch fire. is this the signal that hillary learned from losing in 2008 to barack obama. >> i don't think there's any doubt that the clinton campaign repeat the mistakes they made in 2008. i think there's a lot of people who probably don't think bernie sanders is the same level of politician that president barack obama is. it is a different ballgame in that iowa and new hampshire probably won't play as big a role in 2016 as they did in 2008 because the obama and clinton campaigns were evenly matched in terms of establishment support and in terms of financing. it is different this time around clinton has the establishment behind her for the most part and obviously has a huge fundraising haul. sanders has a lot of money. but when they get to bigger states with delegates at stake it is a much more difficult task and

and many observers think that they were written to benefit the clinton campaign. d to agree to more debates later on, we'll do it. >> reporter: you don't think it could backfire if. >> that suddenly hillary clinton says i want to debate in there's a rule, dnc established rules, we're obeying the rules. i didn't write the rules. now she wants to change the rules? >> reporter: nof course the sanders campaign feeling that the dnc was working secretly with the hillary clinton campaign on this debate schedule or at least that the democratic national committee was doing what they believed would benefit her having these debates, many on weekends, not in the prime hours of the evening. of course, it seems that, to a certain extent, the rules have flipped on hillary clinton. now it seems as though her campaign privately thinks that she's benefiting from being up on stage with bernie sanders. but i will say, when you talk to him about his own debate perf m performances often the next day, hillary clinton standing next to bernie sanders, many pundits and others who are analyz

with hillary clinton, the campaign trying to draw that distinction here on guns. they've been doing it with increasing intensity and urgency. they are pointing out that senator sanders has not been as strong on gun control as the clinton campaign has been, so what's really going on here, they're going for that slice of voters, i'm told. it may be 10%, 20% of voters undecided. they're hoping this message in the final push here this weekend will brings those over the top.

the timing of all this hardly ideal for the clinton campaign as she tries to break out of a dead heat here in iowa with bernie sanders over these next three days. in our wide-ranging conversation today, secretary clinton vowed she wouldn't go negative on sanders, but she is eager to point out their differences. >> who has the achievable plans that can actually make a difference? who can beat the republicans? these are the kinds of issues that i think as we go forward, people are going to say, hey, she's given me a specific set of ideas. she's told me what it's going to cost. it's not pie in the sky. it can actually deliver for my family, and i think that's what people are looking for. >> is senator sanders speaking in pie in the sky terms? >> well, i think now that his policies have come under closer press and others, he's having to answer some questions. >> and now bernie sanders is trying to place the scrutiny on clinton too. his new ad this week, not mentioning her by name but taking clear aim at her paid speeches to wall street banks. >> how does wall street get away with it? mill

that's what frustrates the clinton campaign, lester. they feel once all of it is out right now 72 hours before the caucus it isn't, and i've talked to plenty of democrats who are undecided at events for clinton and sanders who say to me, you know, one of the hesitations on clinton is this stuff that's always around here. e-mails is part that have stuff, and frankly right now it looks like a bit of a mess for the clinton campaign to explain. they can explain it away, but timing is rough. >> all right, chuck. thanks. we'll be watching your jam-packed show from iowa including interviews with ted cruz, marco rubio and bernie sanders sunday morning on "meet the press." >>> in california tonight, several new twists in that intense manhunt after a daring jail break. one of the three inmates has turned himself in. two more on the run, and authorities have made a surprise arrest now accusing of a female prison employee of helping them break free. nbc's miguel almaguer has the new developments. >> reporter: after a week on the run todayback duong

nbc's chuck todd took a look at president clinton's successes and failures as a campaign surrogate last time around. chuck joins me now. chuck, let's talk about bill clinton as a surrogate. is he a political asset or liability? >> look, he's clearly an asset, okay? let's not pretend. this is not -- i don't think even when people thought he was a liability, i think in 2000, you can ask al gore and i think people realize he would have been more of an asset in certain places. i thought today, his best moments are what he can say about hillary clinton that she doesn't say about herself and others don't do for her. he adds that personal touch, talks about her in such a human way, it sort of breaks that veneer. that's where he's really strong and can be very good and he was so good for president obama back in 2012. now, the question is, does his presence bring up just sort of allude too much to the past, not the future. that's always a challenge here. it's always been a challenge for hillary clinton the presidential candidate, whether it was in '08 where obama turned the page and made anythin

because they're too top secret and the clinton campaign pushing back. listen to a clinton confidante. ooze. >> to hurt her chances? >> no question about that. >> this is intelligence community that is raising there. and they're saying it is all suspect. >> when would be a good time to do this? after she has gotten the nomination? if she gets elected, god forbid? there is no good time to find out that hillary clinton has broken the law and that she abused her privilege as secretary of state, had access to sensitive information, and kept on it a personal server and didn't protect it. you can't do that. i can't do that. if we were in government. nobody in the state department would get away with that. and there is no reason that hillary should. to say this is about politics is nonsense. furthermore to say that the timing is right. the iowa caucus. the timing maybe, the democrats realize. if they don't go ahead and acknowledge the trouble, that it could sink the entire democratic partyship. not just hillary's. >> so you don't buy the overclassification and a

. >> clinton's campaign called it a bureaucratic turf battle. >> these e-mails should be released so that the public can view them. this is an example of overclassification run amok. >> republicans are pouncing. jeb bush tweeted we need a president who can be trusted to keep our secrets secret. obviously that's not hillary clinton. and marco rubio said. >> this is unacceptable. this is a disqualifier. >> bernie sanders' campaign says he stands by this. >> the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails. >> thank you. me, too. me, too. >> the state department won't be releasing these e-mails now and may never, but this reignites the e-mail issue just as the voters are about to have their say. lester. >> all right. the timer of all this hardly ideal for the clinton campaign as she tries to break out of a dead heat in iowa with bernie sanders over these next three days. in our wide ranging conversation she wouldn't go negative on sanders but she is eager to point out their differences. >> who has the achievable plans that can actually make a difference? who can

a major twist in hillary clinton's e-mail scandal has the campaign scrambling, and we're with her exclusively three days till iowa. >>> also the fight night fallout. donald trump declares victory and ignites a new firestorm with a controversial comment about ted cruz. >>> captured. after that daring jail break, a dangerous escapee turns himself in. two more on the run as a jail employee is accused of aiding the escape. >>> we're at the outbreak epicenter of this zika pandemic where the virus is spreading explosively. children and families living in fear. >>> and a dramatic takedown on camera. anti-government protesters. a chase, a crash, and the moment fbi agents opened fire. "nightly news" begins right now. >> announcer: this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. reporting tonight from des moines iowa. >> good evening. three days from a critical vote here in iowa, and the hillary clinton camp finds itself back under the cloud of the e-mail controversy. minutes after secretary clinton told me in an exclusive interview here in des moines today that there is nothing regarding the e-mail investi

the clinton campaign collected 112 million dollars for the primary since launching its campaign in april. the goal was one-hundred million. the democratic front-runner worked hard for the money. she's headlined at least 174 fundraisers. clinton will also be in sioux cityuesday afternoon. the new year's day holiday can't stop politics in an election year. spotted at today's rose parade in pasadena, message. the bashed gop frontrunner donald trump. it read - "america is great, trump is disgusting, anybody but trump." six planes were used to write the message, which could be seen from a ten mile radius. still to come.... one of the most common new years resosotions is to lose weieit. but what are s se of the smaller resolutions you can make that will help you accomplish that big goal? that story next in healthbeat june. honolulu police won't start to enforce the new law until april first. authorities will focus on educating retailers, residents and tourists. if you want to lose weight, instead of subtracting certain foods, add something. eat a serving of vegetables at every meal or add glas

>> kristen welker out with the clinton campaign, thanks so much. nton, by the way, joins my "nightly news" colleague, lester holt tonight on "nbc nightly news." be sure to tune in on your nbc station. turnout, turnout, turnout. it is a political cliche at this point, but the results of the iowa caucuses will come down to who's able to bring new caucusgoers into the fold. it's a point that democratic candidate bernie sanders underscored earlier today. >> so on monday night, i hope that you will come out, i hope that you will give thought to supporting my candidacy, because the eyes of this country will be on iowa. and if we win this election, it's going to be a very, very close election. it will depend on voter turnout. >> joining me now to walk through the turnout factor, msnbc.com senior editor, beth fouhy is with us. we keep saying it, but it's so true. sometimes it comes down to the weather at 7:00 on a monday night. >> oh, a lot of things can go wrong, or right, for a candidate in iowa. but for senator sanders, there is no question that he needs

we are joined by the senior strategist for hillary clinton's campaign. chuck, as always. >> the campaign over the last 72 hours, wanted to see bernz person rethink his position on immunity for gun manufacturers, release his health care and tax plan. check, check, check. he released these. >> in a manner of speaking. what we have seen happen the last 24 to 48 hours is he has come under a lot of scrutiny. the election days are closer. his plans and what they have been saying come under scrutiny he's had to backtrack and there's a bit of unsteadiness here. after weeks with of saying he would never change his mind on this provision of immunity, giving gun deerls immunity he did exactly that. he came under scrutiny from secretary clinton and criticized her for the question she was raising about his health care plan and he's now, after having the same plan for 20 years, he introduced it nine times in congress, to two hours before debate he released the shell of a plan. what is clear is no one knows what the detail s of his plans at all. >> you don't believe he

hillary clinton her last campaign spot. jeff zeleny is with us. linton thanking iowa voters, she could say thank you to new yorkers right now "new york times" just moments ago endorsed hillary clinton in her race for president. so that happens, you can see it right there, a picture, hillary clinton for gnome days. in conveys you're wondering, the times endorsed john kasich for the republican nomination. gabby giffords and her husband mark kelly will be joining hillary clinton today. they are very big on the issue of gun control. what can we expect today? >> no question, john. hillary clinton in her final push her will be joined on the campus of iowa state university by gabby giffords. she has already splo received the endorsement, but this is the first time gabby giffords that is campaigned with hillary clinton, the campaign trying to draw that distinction here on guns. they've been doing it with increasing intensity and urgency. they are pointing out that senator sanders has not been as strong on gun control as the clinton campaign has been, so wh

the clinton campaign collected 112 million dollars for the primary since launching its campaign in april. the democratic front-runner worked hard for the money. she's headlined at least 174 fundraisers. over the next three days there will be 9 candidates stumping in battleground state new hampshire and no surprise, the attacks are getting sharper, particularly between the two frontrunners -- hillary clinton and donald trump. nbc's kristen welker reports. << "nats" donald trump -- trying to expand his reach throughout the south....campaigning in mississippi on saturday and taking fresh aim at hillary clinton. 20:19:21 "hillary clinton created isis with obama." trump -- who has a double digit lead nationally -- again looking past his own primary, engaging the democratic frontrunner: trump just now during rally: 20:29:38 the clinton campaign says they trump 20:29:47 when they say that that means they don't want to run against you. you do understand that 20:30:01 they do not want to run against me. they do not. and i'm going to win. but now clinton may have new fodder -- after the revelation

. >> the clinton campaign just released a new ad that has been put out in new hampshire and iowa, basicallylosing argument to voters. and bill clinton will be campaigning for his wife -- there he is right now. not in a few minutes. literally at this moment in concord, new hampshire. selling, selling, selling. let's bring in cnn's jeff zeleny. he's not there with the president. he's in des moines, iowa, where hillary clinton has a lot of work to do also. jeff? >> reporter: hey, john and kate, you're right. what bernie sanders is hoping to do is some of that -- he's hoping some of that support in new hampshire spills over here into iowa. we spent all day on the road with bernie sanders yesterday, campaigning across the state. and one argument he was making again and again to his supporters is that he can win. he almost sounded like donald trump. he was reading his poll numbers saying that, you know, he's doing better than hillary clinton and that he would do fine in a general election. now, some democrats aren't so sure about that. they worry that he is actually too liberal to win a national

the clinton campaign also stresses that clinton never sent or received e-mails marked classified at the calling on the state department to release all of those e-mails. but that takes us back to your original question, richard, will this ultimately matter to the voters? we'll have to wait and see. ultimately it's going to depend on turnout, what happens on monday. and monmouth university conducted an interesting poll which gives us a prediction of what happens based on various different turnout numbers. take a look. if 100,000 people turned out at the caucus on monday, according to monmouth university, clinton gets 47% of the vote while sanders gets 42%. look what happens with 150,000, clinton gets 46% and sanders gets 43%. it gets even narrower if 200,000 turn out, clinton gets 45%, sanders gets 44%. just separated by one point. bottom line, the more people who turn out the more that sanders could ult pautly benefit and run away with this race here in iowa. they will both be chris corissc the state today. >> kristen welker on the road. thanks so much. want to bring back our panel. msnb

i repeat, bernie sanders is now out-spending the clinton campaign. w data shows that sanders is out-spending her by more than a million dollars in the latest totals. while clinton is still ahead in national polling, iowa and new hampshire is a different story. now less than two weeks before the caucuses, her team is betting big on the hawkeye state. her team is not tied with sanders. sanders is up by 30 points in new hampshire according to a new poll. i don't think he's up by 30, but he's probably behind. she might be able to brush off, though, a loss in new hampshire, because sanders is a familiar figure from nearby state. but it's the loss of iowa with new hampshire that would be more devastating. clinton aides held a conference call where they laid out a scenario in which the race against sanders stretched well into the spring. that would require about 50 million primary dollars for a national ground operation. with money in the bank, the question becomes will she have the resources on the ground to pull it off? and how much of her general election

however, the clinton campaign government is not going to put them out there.heir retort to this. last word? >> well, yeah. i mean, if they are that'm,y3yóo sensitive, then obviously they can't be released. and this is the obama administration after all. i don't think they have any interest in lying about something to harm hillary clinton. so it absolutely does not help her. there is no question about that even if she ultimately can prevail on the issue of whether she broke the law, which requires her knowingly, you know, to have mishandled the classified information at a bare minimum this shows bad judgment. she should have known in setting up her own server she would be exposing -- potentially exposing -- >> do you think she is going to be indicted? >> no. i don't. >> okay. all right. now, we have that on tape, powers. we got it on tape. here we go. >> you got it, yeah. okay. >> directly ahead, a conservative and a liberal will battle it out over who won the republican debate last night. then, later, barney's villains and senator rubio on illegal immigration

look, there's no question that the clinton campaign is concerned about iowa tightening. new hampshire is favoring bernie sanders. the question is how much. it's the calendar. it's january 10th, and she has every conceivable advantage at her side. she's struggling to fend off somebody who is a 74-year-old, you know, socialist who is largely seen by most democrats as a message candidate. she can't fend him off in the first two states? that's troubling for them. i think that's why you're see ing it more aggressive now. >> the president gives his last state of the union tuesday night. the democratic base is a fan of barack obama. how much of this speech tuesday night is here is what i've done. look at me. here is my legacy. how much is as you replace me think about this? >> i think it's more the latter. the fact that the speech is happening earlier than a state of the union normally would is part of the president trying to put his stamp on this caucus and new hampshire primary process. he's going to frame the speech around where the country should go after his presidency. he

kristen welker with the clinton campaign today. she has one event today an then goes east to raise money. a clear indication that they are now seeing a much longer primary and caucus contest than they had anticipated, and he showing some confidence going to minnesota last night and sort of putting down the foundation in the next -- in the other caucus states, not the next one up, but in caucus states, the way barack obama did in '08. collect the candidates in the caucus states. it's a lot easy for an insurging candidacy than in the primaries. >> reporter: absolutely. and andrea, the crowds that senator sanders got last night were just stunning, 14,000 at one event in minnesota, 6,000 at a second event in duluth, minnesota. so, real optics there. you've got to imagine that that makes the clinton campaign nervous, in addition to the fact that the polls are so close here in iowa. as you point out, they are preparing for what could likely be a long, drawn-out fight. at the same time, they're still trying to win iowa aggressively. if yo

joining me now, national press secretary for the clinton campaign. t me start with this socialist attack. the campaign is not doing it, but you have surrogates doing it. you're getting pushback, saying don't be so aggressive attacking senator sanders about his ideology because you won't be able to unite the party if you happen to be the nominee, what do you say to those folks? >> i think what you're hearing is organic genuine concern from democrats across the country that are fearing a prospect of running on the same ticket as bernie sanders. the times story that just run surveyed senate candidates across the country and those are folks expressing their concerns about this prospect. and the other thing that you're seeing that we can't have any control over, is republicans openly rooting for the prospect of bernie sanders being the democratic nominee. i think those two things tell you everything you need to know about how it would shape up if bernie sanders emerged as the choi choice. >> eight years ago, they were cheering barack obama, and they picked

>> because the clinton campaign doesn't do the world and it's not my job to do what the clinton campaignhe irony. three or months ago, clinton campaign did not want more debates. in fact the rules from the dnc were written without any input from me at all. and many observers think they were written to benefit the clinton campaign. so what we are saying is, i love debates, as you will recall from day one. i said, let's have more debates. at least three more debates in the months to come. just because hillary clinton now finds that the race has tightened up and she says they wants to do more debates, that's not a reason why i have to do it. but because i'm a nice guy and i like debates, if if she is prepared to agree to more debates later on, we'll do it. >> more of casey hunt's interviews coming up on msnbc. >>> donald trump says he's not going to be there. we will tell you what he says he will be doing while his opponents are on stage. and the world health organization is calling for an emergency meeting monday. it is alarmed by what they call of the explosive spread of a mosquito-born v

donna, you say the clinton campaign should be worried about the poll numbers but do you think that worry is coming late? is it tightening of the race because they weren't worried two or three months ago? >> anderson, as a campaign strategist, you're 18 days out, of course you're looking at all these polls. back in the day you had one or two polls, of course, des moines register poll is the one you look forward to read and understand. but, look, the campaigns, both campaigns, hillary campaign as well as bernie campaign, they have a game plan, and both campaigns out there trying to get number threes. you have number one you are committed to go to caucus for the candidates. number two, you're wavering but you're leaning. number three, you're undecided or no one talked to you. they are trying to find votes at this hour. should they be worried? of course. should bernie be nervous that, with you know, with 18 days out hillary could regain the lead and then, you know, two weeks from now before we head to the caucus there's been some new developments. so this is what politics is all about. this

the clinton campaign though is confident that he is the best surrogate to defend his wife. secretary hillary clinton, her tactic, she's going to continue to stay above the fray but she's going to criticize donald trump on his controversial comments, particularly his call to ban all muslims from coming in to the united states. we've seen her deploy this tactic in recent days and recent weeks. take a listen to what she had to say yesterday while here in new hampshire. >> when you hear all of this rhetoric attacking muslims and muslim-americans, it's not only shameful and offensive, which it is, it is counterproductive and dangerous, which it is as well. >> reporter: when it comes to the politics, tamron, they are of course incredibly leeted here in new hampshire. it is a jump ball. hillary clinton, bernie sanders locked in a very tight race. bernie sanders leading in a number of polls. he's from neighboring vermont, of course he's quite popular here. but this is a state that has a special relationship with the clintons as well. of course secretary hillary clinton revived her c

>> well, they have worked up until this moment as a fig leaf for the clinton campaign to sort of do a four-corners type of slightly let's slow this thing down. >> and yet the irony is she -- every time that hillary clinton has extended periods in front of big audiences whether it's been the debates or the benghazi committee hearing, she's acquitted herself quite well. >> i'd argue for the extended period of time when she wasn't in front of people, it was hurting her. >> that's right. i agree. >> this is a tactical mistake by the clinton campaign and now it's coming back to basically hurt them because -- >> then isn't sanders also on the same -- i mean, sanders was saying there should be more debates. you know, he's now -- he is sort of boxed in now, right? i mean -- >> well, he is to a certain extent. i mean, he's dragging his feet a little bit. he's simply deferring to the rules he's always been deferring to. >> bernie sanders and debbie wasserman-schultz over here. >> right. the real problem is for the dnc. how do they shift at this point at this late date without looking like they

the clinton campaign saying they were classified after the fact. secretary clinton never sent or received any information that was classified, or top secret. i'll read you part of a statement released by brian fallon. we firmly affirm the complete blocking of these e-mails. that pairs to be over classification run a mock. we'll pursue all avenues to see her e-mails are released consistent with her call last year. as you'll remember, chris, she did call for all of her e-mails to be released. she wants it to be off of the table as a political issue. but now, of course, this information coming just days before the all important iowa caucuses and the race here could not be tighter. we've looked at the last five polls, cl inn ton leads in three, bernie sanders leads in two. this a jump ball. of course, the last thing clinton campaign wants is any type of negative headline that could influence caucus goers, that's the big question. how will they respond to this. that's the great unknown at this point, chris. i've been talking to voters throughout the day.

the clinton campaign scrambling after 22 e-mails on her server were deemed top secret. >> there was never information sent or received marked classified to me. >> republican rivals pounce. >> hillary clinton is disqualified from being commander in chief. >> this is getting more serious. >> are these e-mails a game changer? we are live in iowa. >>> new evidence? the lawyer for stephen avery, murderer" says she can prove her client's innocence. this as people protest in support of the convicted killer. >>> history on the line. a thrilling tennis match wrapping up down under. serena williams going into three sets, including this rally that had everyone on the edge of their seats. serena gets the point, but was it enough to win the match? >>> and hymm for the weekend. beyonce and coldplay drop their latest collaboration. coursing through my blood >> it already has 3.3 million views in less than 24 hours. so why are some crying foul over we will explain today, saturday, january 30th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and welcome to
