momentumumumn io. if he isn't careful marco rubio could come up and finish second. >> you talked about the momentum for bernie sanders in iowa right now. but that latest poll out this morning shows hillary clinton with a small ad, basically a dead heat, right now in these nal days and you hadhe had that yesterday. he pretty much had to do that after seeming to put on the scale for hillary earlier in the week. >> yeah, in the timing was interesting bringing him off the campaign trial right before the iowa caucuses but t president d to come out and show h he is keeping by his vow that he will be neutral in this race even though clearly the clinton campai believes that if you went into that secret ballot that president obama would be voting for hisormer secretary of state. >> matthew, the clinton campaign has to worry about deja vu. into the caucucus eight years ago. >> i i they l let bernie sanders win iowa he will win new hampshire and then this race totally resets in a different

of control, the research agendada bo at the cdc and the nih, better diagnostic, really an accelerated aggressive approach to developing vaccines with regard to the olympics, what the brazilians are doing and planning is probably the best way and the immmmiate manr to curtail this is that very aggresessive vector control a by vector ctrol getting rid of mosquies from the standpoint of
