tamron? is interesting because i think a lot of people, to your point, the emergency manager, the ability to appoint one, has been around. there were some who predicted that there would be complicated problems that would arise. no one predicted obviously the poisoning potentially of an entire community. with that said, is there a way for the governor to go back now -- and i don't know if the proper word is to reverse this -- but how do you remedy this now that this problem has come up? you also have the issue of the detroit schools with the teachers there. it seems that the emergency managers have created bigger problems than before. >> it certainly seems so. and obviously, anybody impacted by the lead poisoning doesn't think there's anything you can do to remedy this. in sense, nobody has their head clearly around how big this crisis is. and that's also reflected in the fact that there's no good estimate on how much this is actually going to cost to clean up. yes, maybe it's going to cost $1

tamron? >> kelly cobiella for us with the latest on that frighten says i incident in paris. >>> also developing, the family of sandra bland, the woman found dead in a texas jail cell after a routine traffic stop, the family is speaking out after the trooper who you see on camera was indicted on perjury. what sandra bland's mother is saying. she spoke just moments ago. >>> plus, michigan's governor and the mayor of flint just wrapped up a meeting about toxic levels of lead in the city's tap water. that's prompted now a state of emergency. this as an internal e-mail reveals the state knew about the problem months ago. >>> and we're keeping an eye on developments from wall street. the dow right now is down 184 after china abruptly halted trading overnight. we'll keep a close eye on the markets and bring you the updates. this is claira. to prove to you that aleve is the better choice for her she's agreed to give it up. that's today? we'll be with her all day to see how it goes. after the deliveri

>> reporter: tamron, as you say, it's a debate about the debate.a proposal for a debate a week from today. it would be hosted by msnbc, the union leader not sanctioned by the dnc. hillary clinton says let's go for it. that's what she told our msnbc chris matthews just yesterday. the sanders campaign says we'll go along with this debate but only if there are three more debates. that is what they are calling for and there's been a lot of debate about the fact that there have not been a lot of democratic debates. martin o'malley accusing the dnc of stacking the deck for hillary clinton. dnc officials pushed back hard against that characterization. so tamron, at this point, we're at a wait and see to see what these campaigns are going to decide about another debate next week. meanwhile, i had a chance to visit the war rooms of these two campaigns last night. they are fighting to get out their base for hillary clinton. that means getting out women voters for bernie sanders. that means getting out some of the younger voters. hear what two of the clinton

and that fox poll is garbage, tamron. the internals of that fox poll claim they talked to 173,000 iowans who voted in the 2012 iowa caucuses. we only had 120,000 vote on the republican side, so either 53,000 people lied to fox news or they believe 53,000 democrats are going to cross over and vote in a republican caucus when the democrats as msnbc viewers well known, have their own compelling caucus going on right now with bernie sanders and hillary clinton. that same fox poll says only 45% of iowa caucusgoers are going to be evangelicals. it's on average 60%. so you know, they're only off by, i don't know, 15 points. that poll is complete garbage. >> you know, "time" magazine has this headline, religious voters embrace donald trump even if he lacks faith. it goes on to say a new pew research center poll find he's wide lee seen as the least religious candidate in the field, but that hasn't stopped more than half of white evangelical voters and more than half of republican voters from believing he would make a great or even

i'm tamron hall. we begin this super tuesday with presidential race on the democratic side. our newest nbc news survey monkey poll out just this morning. shows clinton with a 14-point lead over bernie sanders nationally. and this is a live look at where in a few minutes bernie sanders is meeting with members of the powerful united steel workers union in iowa, which has about 1900 members in that state alone. it is one of several events both here and hillary clinton are holding today as they ramp up their final push through the hawkeye state with just six days to go before the caucuses. last night, they took parts in their final joint event before the first primary contest. while it was not a debate, both sanders and clinton separately faced tough questions during a town hall moderated by cnn. clinton was quickly confronted with a blunt question about her standing with young voters. >> it feels like there's a lot of young people like myself who are very passionate supporters of bernie sanders. and i just don't see the same enthusiasm from younger people for you. in fact, i ha

>> not a whole lot, tamron.t pours for bad news for the chain whose motto is food with integrity. chipotle has been served with a federal subpoena here in a criminal investigation into what was really a little norovirus outbreak at a store in simi valley which sickened over 200 customers and employees, allegedly after an infected employee was at work. we don't know exactly what documents the feds want or what the charges could be. and the u.s. attorney's office has yet to comment. but this incident kind of came and went. and then it was followed by the two e. coli outbreaks from coast to coast and a norovirus outbreak in boston which got a lot more publicity. now, altogether, chipotle is saying the impact is big. what they call same store sales. in other words, stores that have been opened at least a year fell 30% in december. and for the first time ever, the company expects to report a drop in sales for the fourth quarter. earnings will be much lower than expected. it's already starting to set aside money for p

>> it is authentic, tamron. let's be clear here.or from vermont. 95% of their population, he cannot control the demographics so he's served honorably in that state. 95% of that population is white. i was at net roots nation and at least senator bernie sanders and governor o'malley had the heart to come to net roots nation. i saw them take over the room so it is an alarming experience but they were absolutely in the fight. senator sanders understands that he has to earn the african-american vote and that is exactly what he's doing and his position in reparation is not that much different from president obama's. so, to lay reparations at his feet is unfair. we should be asking every candidate how they feel about reparations, but senator sanders has the strongest racial justice program and platform of any candidate running for president, democrat or republican, so i want to go back to the urban poet tupac when he says we got money for wars but we can't feed the poor. when people say we should not be dreaming big we cannot go from yes w

governor, thank you so much for your time. >> you bet, tamron.ou bet. >> let's talk about this back-and-forth. senator sanders released an ad yesterday that appears to attack hillary clinton. on the conference call with her campaign yesterday, there was outrage from aides, saying that he violated his pledge to never run a negative attack ad. some people see this as a petty back-and-forth and a clear sign that the campaign may be worried about iowa, and certainly, new hampshire. >> well, clearly, when you get closer to the finish line, contrasts are drawn, but he did say that he wasn't going to run any negative ads that he never had in his life, and there you go. the bottom line is, on health care, both of them agree that it's important for the u.s. to move toward universal health care, and that picture that he put out from the '90s was when they were working together on that very thing, when she was testifying. now that we have the affordable care act, and president obama has worked so hard to make health care affordable and available to all citi

good morning to you. >> good morning, tamron. this was a game that normally would attract little or no doubles match between low-ranked players. this is the game. the player you'll see in the red and yellow shirt is the made a lot of errors. on. he and his partner lost the first set in 20 minutes. think. except huge amounts of money were wagered on two gambling websites that the couple would lose, and they did. 6-0, e had a knee injury. the betting was so unusual, all four players were interviewed by officials. all it's possible someone may have learned that he had an injury and gambled on that. huge amounts were placed by a small number of people, and it's not the first time he hasacted suspicious betting. tennis is under a cloud right now of corruption with those reports last week alleging match fixing by 16 players over the past m apparently tournament, the australian open. it's one of the world's most slam events. it's continuing but it's not good for the game. if they're innocent, it's not good for those spanish players eith

>> tamron? >> three, something like that. >> they were done early. >> you were out partying. >> an hour. >> one. >> just about. >> very interesting. >> we were inside watching everyone basically stakor selves outside the lady's room. >> that sounds creepy. >> let's rephrase that. >> i said outside of it. >> either way. doesn't make it better. >> did you not see the party pictures of you two. don't call freaky what we did. >> we're at a party and you're outside the ladies sgloom when you offer harrison ford your body as a sandwich. >> that's not what we say. >> al said you did. >> we were hanging out in the back of the room and got to was great. show. good stories. want to get you caught up. "the martian" won best motion picture musical comedy, neither being a musical or comedy and matt damon took home best actor for "the martian." speech. >> this is like an incredible -- look, i was here 18 years, literally been 18 years since i've been here doing this, and -- and with a little more context i kn

tamron's got some reaction. hey, tamron. >> good morning, guys. celebrities and fans alike taking to twitter to share theirolences. last night's golden globe's host ricky gervais tweeted out i just lost a hero. rest in peace, david bowie andring this in writing, a rock legend is gone. thanks north music and the laughs. kanye west writing david bowie was one of my most important o fatherless, so creative. he gave us magic for a lifetime. pharrell twebowie was a true innovate other, a true creative. may he rest in peace. uk prime minister david cameron wrote this. /grew upg the pop beanus david bowie. getting it right and thisgit is showing helen green's drawings. many faces of david bowie is incredible career and i went to his wife imam's twitter page and see what she placed out there. 11 hours ago she said the struggle is real and so isd on the 8th of this month she had a happy birthday to david bowie. >> thoughts with imam and their two children, his two children wait... wait... ect. at del monte, green beans are packed at the peak of freshness a

it's a balmy day, warm. >> we don't like that word. >> willie, al, tamron and natalie, we're all hear. the theme you hear, that's "the godfather." in tribute to the great abe vigoda. >> we love abe vigoda. he just passed away at the age of 94. of course, he was in "the godfather." whacked. prob so many more people knew him around the world also from the comedy series "barney miller." we loved him on this show. he made numerous appearances. we joked with matt that he looked like abe. through the years, he's she'd visit us. -- he'd visit us. his car didn't arrive in los angeles once, and i gave him a ride home. told stories about the "godfather," "barney miller," lovely gentleman. >> someone who discovered fame later in life. he was in his 50s. good to see he reinvented himself. >> he was a running gag on "leatherman." i'm not dead. >> 1982, there was a reporter who posted that he -- in "people" magazine. >> before posting. >> well, in the magazine. >> actually wrote it down. >> in the magazine. >> yes. >> i'll be honest, growing up, i knew him as the guy who walked on to leatherman t l

you call it a veiled dig, tamron. not so veiled. as you, nikki haley has confirmed that she was aiming at trump. she believes that the republican party needs to look in the mirror and face up to some of this. it has earned her some backlash from some on the conservative right, many in the establishment believe that haley and speaker ryan should be with the future of the gop, and it's, you know, going against sort of some of these ideas and these values that donald trump is proposing. trump, of course, mobilizing kind of this new base. these people that are coming in that haven't always necessarily been a part of the republican party. so i think the governor haley tonight is symbolic of this fight, of this what we're calling a civil war between the republican establishment wing and then the outsiders embodied by donald trump. >> let me bring in katy tur. and i know as hallie pointed out, nikki haley said she was referring to donald trump when she said the siren call of the angriest voices. but let's face it, when you look at ted cruz

>> stash it. >> trash it. >> tamron is right. contrary to all the rumors, there is no personal information according to hotel industry experts on the card. the only thing on the card is the code to open your room. as soon as you check out, it's gone. but there's never your credit you're safe to chuck it. >> give it back. don't they recycle them? >> thank you very much. >> sorry. >> got one point. >> finally, talking about cell phones. so many people, huge market on ebay, craig's list, people are selling their iphones, android devices. you want to make sure they can't get your photos, old text messages. >> right. >> the question is, when you're about to get rid of your cell phone, do you trash it, safe to throw out, or stash it? >> if you erase everything, it'd be safe. >> how? just erasing a photo doesn't erase the photo. >> iphone has where you can erase all content but i don't believe it. >> i'll show you how to do it. the answer is, you want to stash it until you do what i'm about to show you. i'll walk you through it. today s

i'm here with tamron holding things down in studio 1a. today has been live at the white house, unprecedented access to the residence. natalie and al are getting in position right there. how about jenna bush-haguer, welcoming. that's her house, by the way. >> absolutely. as willie mentioned, an unprecedented view. we've all had the honor of going to the white house but never seen it from this vantage. it was enjoyable to see all the history buffs get into what we were seeing there. politics aside, this is the nation's house, this house belongs to the people and you get a chance to see your home that you own. >> natalie and al are going to take us through a little of what they saw this morning, but this does come on the day of the president's final state of the union address. about that speech tonight and some of the challenges that he faces. >> as you stand in that room, you will be looking out over a room that arguably is as divided as it's ever been. do you have see that as a failure of your presidency? you came to town saying it was abo

money shot. >> tamron? >> live tv, folks. >> you are a king. that's incredible. i'm sorry. hey, it's pop fix time. i think i've got a way to upstage al. we'll see what happens. ryian -- rihanna keeps teasing fans about an upcoming album. she tweeted this picture. listening to her new album. it's the insane headphones that have attracted so much attention. by dolce & gabbana. embellished with crystals. $8,895. it's not in our facebook give away. but we are guessing rihanna's new tracks will sound just as good on your regular ear buds. while no release date is set, just this morning, she dropped a single. it features drake. i love how we call him a canadian rapper. she's teaming up with him. late last night, kanye west announced he changed the name of his upcoming album from swish to waves. there's also an updating track list. while hard to read, it includes scribbles from his wife kim and sister in law. in case you're wondering how big the new record will be for kanye, he put on twitter, this is not an album of the year. grammy voters, take vote. he wants it for life. kanye

willie and dylan and tamron is here. meanwhile, we're going to be coming up and talking about some of the things that you probably want to know about airlines and plane travel. >> do we want to know these things? >> i bet we have some questions. >> knowledge is power and off the record we can't tell you some of the things that we've been discussing that we've noticed on planes as of late. got that plane in our studio. that's an amazing shot there. most of my questions about airplanes have to do with that tiny little bathroom. we'll get to that in a second. >> how often do you use that? >> as much as you have to. >> as rarely as possible. >> first, natalie's got a check of this morning's top stories. natalie, good morning. >> good morning, once again. in the final debate before the iowa caucuses democrats bernie sanders and hillary clinton clashed over gun control, wall street and health care. clinton accused sanders of voting with the gun lobby. he criticized her for earning speaking fees from financial firms, and sander

tamron, here's the situation about iowa.illary clinton ends up winning that, that sets her up to end up winning south carolina, the march 1st states that are heavy with minority voters. pretty much how she would kind of wrap up this democratic nomination by early march, mid-march. mathematically. of course i don't think anyone thinks that bernie sanders is going to be getting out of this contest any time soon, but that is her path to focus on general election possibly by march. but if she ends up losing iowa, if she loses new hampshire, maybe she ends up losing nevada, that's the katie, bar the door type of scenario. even if she wins the democratic nomination, it is going to take her into may, june to get there. that's why iowa is so important. >> speaking of iowa, donald trump is going to be at the john wayne museum there. i'm sure this looks much better in person when you visit but this shot and eventually donald trump there standing in front of that statue is, again, i think one of the reasons compare some of what we've s

peter, good morning. >> tamron, good morning. we're told the former new york city mayor plans to make a decision one way or the other by early march. he's 73 years old, a billionaire, of course. michael bloomberg would likely launch that independent bid if the general election looks like it's donald trump for ted cruz for the republicans against bernie sanders. simply put, if hillary clinton is the democratic nominee, bloomberg is out. clinton dismissing the whole she insists she'll get the nomination and put this conversation to bed. still, both trump and sanders are embracing it. trump says, i love the competition. just out this morning, a new online poll says bloomberg's the following, create a dead heat between trump and sanders, 35 to 34 while bloomberg would lag in the teens. back to you, tamron. >>> a scandal over possible match fixing and gambling is casting a shadow over this year's australian open. nbc chief global correspondent bill neely is following the story for us from london. good morning to you. >> good morning,
