Week In The News: Iowa Countdown, Zika Spreads, Oregon Standoff (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

All eyes on Iowa this week as politics get hyper-focused on the eve of the first real voting of the 2016 campaign. Donald Trump says no thanks to a Fox-hosted debate. Cruz, Rubio and the rest show up and have a pretty good go without Donald’s theatrics. Clinton says she’s the proven fighter, but Sanders is revolution-ready. In Oregon, arrests and stand-off casualty. All over, there is dismay at the rapid spread and menace of the Zika virus. This hour On Point, our weekly roundtable goes behind the headlines. — Tom Ashbrook
