>> well as you know, the video was leaked online yesterday. it was members of s.a.e. on the way to their date party and it sparked, to say the least, pretty big outrage here. >> now this was allegedly filmed on saturday evening. correct? >> yes. >> what are people on campus saying about this? >> people are just outraged. right now there's a protest going on a peaceful protest, where students are, what they just did was a, are in the student union and they are posting sticky notes to a glass door in the union just expressing how they feel and they were instructed by the leaders of the protest to go up to the second floor, but i see right now where a lot of students are heading towards the north entrance of the library, and unheard is a student thoorgs is return organization running the protest in the library. >> the president spoke out, did so quite forcefully of the university? >> absolutely. he came down with the hammer. >> did you speak to him? you've gotten a chance to speak with him i understand, andrew? >> i did not get a chance to speak with president boren myself however he did address the crowd at the protest and said he a message for those involved in the incident. he said you are a disgrace and something along the lines of you should not be able to call yourselves a sooner. >> yeah. were there athletes involved in this? on this bus ride with this -- horrendous -- >> were athletes involved in the incident or the athletes involved in the protest? >> in the protests. are they responding? >> oh, yes. and quite with a vengeance, actually. they actually gathered at about 7:00 a.m. this morning in front of the library and developed their own prayer circumstance many and a linebacker for the oklahoma football team eric strieker, was the speaker of the group and he addressed the media for maybe a minute, and then they just said they wouldn't take anymore questions and they are also taking part in the protest headed by unherd . . . . -- unheard. >> appreciate your time. we'll teep close eye on the story throughout "the rundown." appreciate you being with me this morning. turning to two major political stories to kickstart the week. in just about two hours we expect to hear from hillary clinton in new york the former secretary of state of unveil the status of women and girls around the world, and sponsored in part by the clinton family foundation. that's happening as the controversy surrounding her e-mails roars into a second full week. and on the right, new nbc poll numbers showing how the crowded republican field of would-be candidates is starting to shape up. that includes a mixed opinion about jeb bush coming off his first visit to iowa in three years. get right to nbc senior political editor in washington. good morning. >> good morning, jose. >> the poll numbers in a second. could hillary address the e-mail controversy as early as today? >> yeah. i think it sounds like it's going to be sooner rather than later and, of course probably one of the things that is spurring all this is senator dianne feinstein, the democratic senator from california on "meet the press" yesterday, which she said it's important for hill troy kind of come clean on this entire issue, to answer all the questions, and so far it's important to note in the week we've followed the story the only comment we've received from the former secretary of state is by twitter. so just 140 characters jose. not full-on questions about why she had this personal e-mail system. why she had a personal e-mail server. and how the american public could end up beginning to know that it will get all of her e-mails as secretary of state as she seems to launch her presidential bid in the coming months. >> and run through what has been release of the poll so far starting with jeb bush. >> yes. this was fascinating. republicans, our poll said asked potential republican voters, would you be comfortable with this person or not? as your potential nominee voting for this person. republicans were split on jeb bush. 49% could see themselves voting for him. 42% said they couldn't and it is worth noting jose we're going to be releasing even more polling information later tonight on how the likes of marco rukbio and scott walker fared. jeb bush was in the middle category. other republicans like chris christie, donald trump, who fared much worse on this scale. interesting to know now republicans are divided when it comes to a jeb bush candidacy. >> interesting. nbc senior political eder mark murray thanks. the complete report released at 6:30 eastern time. we'll watch for that. also developing now in boston the first full week of testimony at the boston marathon bombing trial of tsarnaev. hearing from nor victims as well as fibbi agents and police. survivors who lost their legs in the attack, and the jury mooshved to tears when the father of 8-year-old martin richard talked about the final moments of his little boy. an update from boston a little later this hour. ingturning now to overseas. the iraqi forces going on the offensive. military officials sayal soldiers surrounded isis support supporters in tikrit pnd and isis is losing ground in iraq a major boost over the weekend. boko haram pledged allegiance to the islamic state, that could extend over a broader section of africa as well as the middle east. joining me jim miklaszewski. can you see boko haram and isis working together or just a partnership in name? >> an extension of the isis franchise, part of the isis strategy, to draw in groups from all over the world. i think now there are 31 groups of various sizes from the philippines to north africa to now boko haram in nigeria that have pledged allegiance to the ibrahim abu al baghdadi head of isis. all is good publicity. coordinating the groups is another question. >> i want to ask you about the u.s. and iraqi effort. on sunday joint chief martin dempsey said iraqi forces are still undertrainered and underequipped saying the mission would require "strategic patience." what does that mean? >> general dempsey said for some time this is a long-term effort on the part of the iraqis on the part of the coalition, on the part of the u.s. that's no surprise. but what general dempsey also emphasized over the weekend is his concerns over the current battle of tikrit, where isis fighters are dug in to the city and iraqi forces along with the coalition or some of the militias the shia militias backed by iran are trying to unseat them. now, general dempsey's concern here is that if this does not go well it could be lights out for iraq. if, in fact, the shia militia occupies tikrit after forcing isis out and then force are or seizes property from the sunnis there in tikrit it would be game over but he said on the flip side if those iraqi -- or iranian-backed militias go into the city and oust isis yet turn it back over turn the control back over immediately to the sunnis, that could be a real game changer. so according to general dempsey, they're keeping a close eye on this, but this could, in fact take this entire battle to the brink very quickly. >> and, contribution i want to ask you about isis attempts to simply wipe out historic iraqi cities off the map? >> well i interviewed people with the iraqis and iraqi antiquities organization last summer and predicted that isis in control of mosul and nineveh province would set about destroying biblical history. we're talking about the history you read about in the old testament. of the bible. the assyrians and eventually the babylonians if they can get to that part of iraq. they are doing their best to wipe all of that out and i think the world should be concerned. obviously, there's slaughter and abuse of human beings is terrible, but for generations to come for all of mankind and history, they're out to start at square one as if history began with them or at least their prophet muhammad napthat is an extremely dangerous thing and not much the u.s. or coalition can or will do about it. >> what a trach jigedy. thank you both for being with me. after the break, the spotlight is on two gop 2016 hopefuls. jeb bush wraps up a fwhndweekend in iowa and wisconsin governor scott walker gets ready to sign right to work bill. how is this playing for voters?

>> i don't think he's hesitant at all. iowans know too well two people named george bush but not much about jeb bush. part of his effort this past weekend to explain the things that he did. he also reminded iowans that he spent a great deal of time here campaigning on behalf of his dad, and his father trying to connect in that way. >> yeah. lee ann, how do you think jeb thinks his weekend in iowa went? >> the bush team thinks that his weekend actually went pretty well. what they believe is what they're going to have to do is do a lot of retail politicking to really convince these skeptics, like you said that he's not his brother, he's not his father and that he's his own person. and after speaking to a lot of these republican potential voters, after hearing him speak, people came away much more impressed than they went going in, and they said that they're willing now to keep an open mind, and that is what they're trying to do right now about 11 months before the caucus next year. >> yeah. and let's switch back to governor scott walker about to sign legislation making wisconsin a right to work state. how are his dealings with labor unions impacting his relationship with general election voters? >> well we're talking republican voters in the context of the iowa caucuses and they love his position on this issue. they feel as if he's been a champion for their views about how labor unions have abused the public trust by expensive salaries and wage packages, and i would point out that iowa is one of the 25 right to work states. so his position is well-known among iowa circles. he's a neighboring governor. iowa republicans have actually paid attention to the things that he's been doing in madison, and know far more about what scott walker's record is as governor than they have any idea about the record that florida governor jeb bush amassed when he was governor for eight years. >> yeah and lee ann, you know walker's relationship with unions gets a lot of coverage not only in iowa but as you say with republicans. but how will this play on a national level? >> on a national level it's going to depend on your ideology, really. republicans are going to like this. republicans do want more tamping down of the unions and they say that scott walker is the one person who's actually been able to deliver. now, with that the democrats are obviously going to hit walker very hard on this. where walker appeared over at two events over the weekend in iowa, there were union members from iowa and a couple from wisconsin who were protesting him, and so this issue is going to follow him throughout the campaign trail, and it's one that he's going to have to face but it's also one he's going to own in republican circles. >> lee ann caldwell ock henderson, thank you for being with me. >> thank you. after the break we zoom through some of the day's other top stories including the condition of mark lippert who survived a knife attack last week. and call add miracle baby. an 18-month-old baby found alive 13 hours after a car accident took the life of her mother. details on this incredible story coming up next. insurance here and i'm a box who thrives on the unexpected. ha-ha! shall we dine?

>> i think at this point, from this point on the silence is going to hurt her. >> joining me now "the washington post" ann gearan and msnbc political reporter alex wald. alex start with the pure politics and perception. how much worse is it getting for the xlnclintons? >> the feinstein comment is notable. senior democrat had oversight over things like security cyber security for government e-mail accounts. and she's also a clinton ally. one of the first senators to endorse ready for hillary, the superpac trying to get hillary clinton to run for president. this steps up the pressure and shows democrats are worried. they've been saying it privately for some time. wary about saying it publicly. this put out by clinton allies saying this is nothing, will blow over quickly, feinstein's comment give line to that a little bit. >> and your piece focuses on what hillary clinton's run will mean 2016 wanted to turn the page on her politics of the past but this is really possibly helping well that yesterday still be today's talk? >> right. i mean the whole idea of politically for hillary clinton as secretary of state was that it was a period between the time she wan for president last time and the time she was expected to do so again. during which she could really come into her own, show what a strong leader she could be what a strong executive she could be and also play to her national security credentials. all of those things are still true, or possibly true for her, but now with this e-mail many scandal, which could be a real scandal, growing on her. i think it -- it calls into question sort of how she ran things at the state department. whether she was flouting the white house by not following its advice, if not exact full-on directive to use a government e-mail server. and whether she was trying to hide her e-mails from public disclosure. she did go to twitter several days ago and say she wants the public to see her e-mails. the state department says it will take several months to review which can be released but the fact remains for a long time her e-mail was not being publicly archived as the government now requires, and so lawsuits or public records request that went to the state department during that time wouldn't have turned up any of the secretary of state's e-mails. >> yeah, and alex, secretary clinton's time at the state department is the focus for the house select committee on benghazi. here's the leader of that committee on sunday. >> are there any gaps in the e-mails you have received so far from her? >> yes, sir. there are gaps are months and months and months, and if you think to that iconic picture of her on a c-17 flying to libya, sunglasses on and her hand-held ghis her hand. we have no e-mails from that day. in fact, we have no e-mails from that trip. >> how much pressure is hillary clinton going to feel from republicans on capitol hill over the next year on this issue. i think definitely tremendous amount. i mean trey gowdy is a former prosecutor prosecutor. he chairs this committee with subpoena power, the auspices and money of the u.s. house of representatives and could dig into hillary clinton's e-mails. he can play it however he thinks is best wait however long he wants to sit on the revelations. sat on the e-mails for months without leaking it. even if it's dying down a little bit right now this controversy could return with a vengeance months down the line when hillary clinton's already announced her run for the presidency, when these e-mails come out or with new revelations coming from gowdy's committee. so that's definitely something that i'm sure her advisers are going to keep an eye on. >> and i want to talk about president obama's comments on the clinton e-mails. take a listen to what he said. >> i'm glad that hillary is instructed that those e-mails that had to do with official business need to be disclosed. >> you say that you have the most transparent administration ever. you said it again just a couple of weeks ago. >> it's true. >> how does this square with that? >> well, i think that fact she's going to be putting them forward will allow us to make sure that people have the information they need. >> and how frustrated do you think folks of the administration are about all this? >> you could hear it in kind of tightness in the president's voice there. there is tension and frustration within the administration. they don't feel like this is their scandal or their controversy to have to explain, and you really heard a difference between the way the spokespeople at the white house and the spokespeople at the state department have handled it over the last week and that's unusual. they'll usually saying almost exactly the same thing, and the white house has taken some pains to distance themselves from clinton. no one criticized her on the record, but they don't sound thrilled. >> they certainly don't. thank you both for being with me this morning. appreciate your time. >> thank you. and now back to boston where prosecution testimony resumed in the boston marathon bombing trial. moments ago bombing victim jessica kensky was wheeled up to the witness stand. her service dog by her side. jessica and her husband each lost a leg in the attack. bring in boston globe columnist daunte ram mos good to see you. it appears the trial is picking up where it left off last week? >> that's right. clearly there will be more victim statements to come but what's expected in these next coming days is for the trial to move into what you might call the csi phase. there will be technical experts testifying to how the, you know how the investigators piece together how the bomb was made and trying to connect what victims saw and observed on the scene to the construction of the actual explosives that were used in the bombing. the thing to remember here is that this is a -- it's not a murder trial. it is a terrorism trial, and dzhokhar tsarnaev is charged with 30 different counts of you know terrorism-related charges, detonated a weapon of mass destruction in a public place and things like that, and all of those on each of those counts the prosecutors are going to take pains to explain how they think each of those is justified. >> and you talk about the technical aspects and the csi aspect this week it's interesting, because the defense see essentially said from the beginning, he did it. so there's no need to prove that he was there, that he participated in it. other than just the evidence that's already pretty strong. right? >> sure. but i think as i said the fact that there are 30 different charges, usually in any kind of federal prosecution, certainly a high-profile federal prosecution, they try not to leave a lot to chance and for each of those 30 charges, i would suspect you'll see a very detailed effort to lead the jurors to come to a guilty verdict on each of those charges. the defense has obviously said dzhokhar tsarnaev is the perpetrator. that doesn't necessarily mean for each those individual charges that they will agree with every last piece of evidence on it. >> all right. some of the testimony is so gut-wrenching. how are bostonians handling all of this?

>> so this partnership, how do we think it could play out? >> if in fact there's an operational link you could see a flow of fighters and other resources to this part of africa, including nigeria in the northeast where boko haram is strongest. we know libya has been a major conduit for weapons and arms as well as fighters into that battlefield. it is not out of the realm of possibility to see even more people migrate from libya to that frontier where the fighting is taking place. it all depends on whether or not that allegiance is reciprocated by isis towards boko haram, the same way they pledged ideological allegiance to isis. >> looking at the map, libya is such a focus point, even transportation of terrorists that come from central africa up, but what is going on in libya now? who controls that? it is a failed state, but who controls it? >> libya is divided into two different realms. you have the northeast and the northwest, two separate governments. in between the two shadow governments are pockets controlled by isis. the government there is no central government. that's why there are arise of militia, many extremists, some with links to al qaeda. now with the presence of isis in libya, that situation is more dangerous. we have seen a couple weeks ago the brutal execution of 21 egyptian christians but you're right. libya has been a major source of contention and concern for european officials. it is not that far from the mediterranean base of countries, we have seen in the past including from isis itself in libya that they want to try to use libya to start staging attacks on european capitals including rome, jose. >> oil reserves, the potential of a lot of money there. ayman, pleasure to see you. thanks for being with me. from boston first full week of testimony under way at the boston marathon bombing trial. first up for the prosecution, jessica kensky who lost both her legs. raheem a ellis has more. >> reporter: more testimony when trial got under way 40 minutes ago. the first witness is jessica kensky. she's testifying she lost both legs as a result of the bombing. she said she went to gym with her husband the morning of the marathon, says quote, it was the last time i ran on two legs. she also went on to say she has 30 to 40 pieces from the bomb still inside her body because they're too close to blood vessels to be removed, and she called her wounds quote, war wounds. as you point out, this is the first full week of testimony. the prosecution had two days last week put on a dozen witnesses and several of them survivors who talked about what they saw, heard and felt on that day in april of 2013 when the bombs exploded at the finish line of the boston marathon. three were killed at the finish line, 260 others injured. today it is also reported we may hear technical information about the bombs from technical experts telling us exactly how they were built, the amount of damage they can cause. even though the defense attorneys have pretty much acknowledged their client was involved in this case we should remember that he has pleaded not guilty. and the prosecution still has an obligation to prove their case. you remember there are 30 federal counts against tsarnaev 17 of them include the death penalty. >> rehema ellis, appreciate your time. up next, zoom through some of the other stories making news, including astronaut scott kelly days on embarking from an out of this world space experiment. later, apple reveals details of the long awaited smart watch. it may have surprises in the works. details on that and more here on "the rundown." it's more than the cloud. it's security - and flexibility. it's where great ideas and vital data are stored. with centurylink you get advanced technology solutions from a trusted it partner. including cloud and hosting services - all backed by an industry leading broadband network and people committed to helping you grow your business. you get a company that's more than just the sum of it's parts. centurylink. your link to what's next. how do crest 3d white whitestrips compare to a whitening toothpaste?

wrongdoing by the department. talk about what happened to your son that day. >> he came home from a night out with friends, an officer made some claims without cause. my son denied those. essentially started kicking, tasing, punching to arrest. my son said i know my rights. an officer later found out hooked his gun on a car mirror and an officer took a gun, placed it to my son's temple standing in front of his mother and sister and took his life. we ended up filing a civil rights lawsuit and settling and we use a major portion of those settlements and more of our own money to enact act 348 in wisconsin. >> talk to me about this law that bars police departments from investigating their own officers in cases like your son's. >> i am a retired air force officer. i was a pilot. i knew the way we kept our pilots alive was by independent review and external investigation. and when we looked at what law enforcement was doing, they were doing self review self investigation. it was no surprise to find out after 129 years, never been an unjustified ruling of police shooting found by a police department by an inquest jury or a d.a. ended up finding three shootings over the course of 60 years justified, but that was it. it was impossible record of perfection. that's why we fought to change the law. weren't able to get all three ememts done but got external investigation of police involved deaths. >> thanks for being with me. appreciate your time. >> thank you, jose. >> joining me msnbc contributor james peterson. good to see you. >> good morning, jose how you doing. >> good. what's your reaction to the fatal shooting of tony robinson in madison? >> it is always tragic. my heart always goes out to the families because i think if you've been around the families jose, you can see how gut wrenching it is for each member of the family to be confronted with essentially state sanctioned murders, but also speaks to the systemic nature of the problems. we can no longer think of these things as exceptional cases or as aberrations, it is too systemic it is happening everywhere. doj report on ferguson is an incredibly ugly report but suggests the problems we are seeing in police departments all over the nation and wisconsin shooting is just another iteration. i am glad you had that particular guest on jose because people need to understand it is not a black and brown problem. >> yeah. and he said it my kid was blonde hair blue eyes according to him, the police officer put the gun right to his temple and pulled the trigger. i want to talk about the 50th anniversary of the march in selma, alabama. here is part of what president obama had to say. >> 50 years from bloody sunday. our march is not yet finished. but we are getting closer. 239 years after this nation's founding our union is not yet perfect. >> president says we are getting closer. are we? >> that's debatable, depends who you ask. president obama resided over more commemorative civil rights moments than any other president will. 50 years of era, 50 years of civil rights 50 years of selma, 50 years of brown versus board of education. he has to acknowledge and understand the irony of some battles we are still confronted with in the 21st century even as we commemorate milestones. it is incredible but i argue it depends who you ask how far we still have to go. >> and there seems to be such a different world almost between how african-americans, latinos, others see the future and see their role and their place in this society, and how much of white america sees it. >> unfortunately when we look at the data on this jose mainstream america doesn't see race as essential problem, don't see police brutality as a problem. unfortunately, it is communities that suffer most from it shall that's black, brown, poor communities, the communities confronted with state sanctioned violence on a regular basis that are making the clarion call. what we have to do as americans is pay attention to data not get caught up in media coverage of the big cases and understand the systemic nature of police brutality. we have to have radical reordering how we train police how we train them to interface with communities, charged with protecting and serving. until we start there, we're not going to be addressing problems at hand. >> and not just police brutality, also just racism. look at this incident of racism at university of oklahoma. >> i saw the video. >> these educated students are singing and talking about the most vile and vulgar horrendous horrendouslyhorrendous horrendously racist things you could think about, and that's happening in the university system. >> it is. i think we have to distinguish between what the sae and university of oklahoma video are doing versus what police are doing in some shootings that we have been talking about. they're related, jose but not the same. if a bunch of fraternity boys don't like me that's okay with me i am fine. but if law enforcement sees me as inherently criminal and treat me as such that's a much more mortally important challenge for us to address, so they're connected. we have to wrestle with them deal with them on all fronts it is a slippery slope from that language and singing we see in the video to the sort of shooting of unarmed black and brown youth, but they're different and some of this is more serious than other pieces. >> the due humanizing of people removing people because of their -- from your perspective on life because of the color of their skin their accent where they came from. it is just so ugly james. >> it is ugly and seems sickening that we are having these conversations in the 21st century, jose. we haven't rooted out the problem, confronted the problem at its core. >> you're right. james peterson pleasure to see you. >> thanks for having me. i want to turn to 2016 the ag summit ran the gamut of political issues 2016 from energy to health care to foreign policy immigration may have been the most divisive issue. jeb bush made headlines for this exchange with a dreamer. >> with me, former adviser to senator mccain. >> great to be with you, jose. >> this is an interesting exchange jeb bush had with a dreamer, first of all, it was in spanish. second of all, the concept that bush would be talking about the need to have immigration reform as a policy and not as an individual executive action. this is something that i think few in the republican party are talking about. >> well it is consistent with what governor bush has been saying all along. he has been in favor of comprehensive immigration reform. frankly as a republican party, but governor bush has been very consistent on this message, has not walked away from it. cpac and recently this exchange you showed is that he is i think correctly focused in on the president's, our view overreach, and not the fact that we have to have immigration reform and daca. i give jeb bush high marks for consistency and sending the right message on immigration for our party. >> because we hear folks in your party, heard it over the weekend at the ag summit any time in some groups of the republican party, when they talk about immigration reform the word amnesty comes in. that's a word that a lot of folks in the republican party kind of go oh, can't do it because anything to do with immigration is amnesty, and there are differences, subtleties, and immigration reform is needed. i think republicans and democrats both agree on that one. >> and not only agree on that, but one of the key points glad he was booed by people at the cpac meeting, governor bush made it clear, we are not deporting 11, 12 13 million people there has to be a path to legalization. that path has to be one that has adequate border security and assurances we don't compound the problem in the future sending the wrong message. >> the message of saying amnesty, any time anybody talks immigration reform it is more than semantics. >> correct. one of the things i said consistently, i think it is going to take a republican president, i hope it is jeb bush to bring about immigration reform in our country. i think there's going to be a confidence in a republican that's committed to the necessary enforcement of border security and policy that stimulates legal immigration wheel doing everything else to control illegal immigration. >> you know the republicans have control of house of representatives for the past couple years, didn't do squat on it. maybe you're saying a president could. >> i think it takes presidential leadership. when in america has any initiative commenced really with the congress. it takes the president to initiate. this president lost the confidence not only of republicans but the american people. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, jose. up next, big day for apple fans. the tech giant a couple hours away from unveiling the apple watch. going to be bringing the latest buzz on that. first, a different buzz of bees delays a spring training game not once but twice. they came in through the outfield. look at that. got around a microphone hanging from the back stop at home plate. a bee keeper had to be called in to deal with them with spray. i will live the life of now with the skin of then olay total effects vitamin-enriched. to fight the 7 signs of aging. in 4 weeks skin looks up to 10 years younger. 7 in 1 from the world's #1 olay. your best beautiful in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. i really admire my mother. despite what people said she bought me a sewing machine and she let me play with dolls and that was something that was kind of growing up culturally, it was quite unacceptable and she really dared to let me be different.
