>> 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?
