That are exciting. As you know, were going to head to the Golden Globes coming up this weekend. After that were not coming back to new york, at least not immediately. Well tell you about it coming up. Yeah, the whole show is headed somewhere. More on that in a minute. First, lets get right to our breaking news. North korea claiming it has Hydrogen Bomb. If true, it would mark a significant and dangerous advance for north koreas military and a disturbing threat to the region. Lets get right to nbcs chief global correspondent bill neely. Good morning, savannah. No question this was a surprise especially for north koreas neighbors. The worlds most closed country announcing what would be a dramatic escalation in its Nuclear Capability if that is is to be believed. There was a test, bomb . A north korean tv announcer clclms the countrys firir Hydrogen Bomb test and calls it a success. We wont stop our nuclear program, she says, because of what she calls american aggression. [ cheers ] reporter they cheered in north koreas capital. They have seen three previous tests announced but never of an hbomb, a far more powerful weapon. The u. S. Is waiting to invade our country, this man says, so its the right thing to do. The Hydrogen Bomb, he saysys is a reliableay of defending ourselves. The tremors from the underground and in south korea where Officials Say its a provocation. North koreas leader kim jongun knows that and s sned the test order anyway. Japan, too, is alarmed. Military planes taking off to test air samples. The u. S. Ambassador meeting to reassure a government that says the test is a serious threat. We stand with japan and our solidarity with this north korea provocation. Reporter north korea has an graesk nuclear and an aggressive nuclear and Weapons Program showing off hardware three months ago. Whats dangerous about this latest test is that a hydren bomb can be smaller, lighter and easier to deliver on a missile warhead. North koreas leader kim jongun is still consolidating his power and now flexing his muscles at a world thats looking at north korea w wh real anxiety. And it may take weeks to work out if this was a Hydrogen Bomb, and if it was successful and a viableevice. But anything that can produce a seismic shock of 5. 1 is dangerous, and there will be consequences for north korea. The u. N. Will meet later and may move towardsdsighter sanctions, but kim jongun is unlikely to be deterred by that. Matt, savannah. Bill neely in london, thank you. Chief Foreign Affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell. Andrea, if the North Koreans have now successfully tested their first Hydrogen Bomb, thats a very dangous first step forward, but if u. S. Intelligence was caught offguard, thats also dangerous, isnt it . Reporter absolutely. This was, as bill was just saying, a complete surprise. They knew that something was up. No idea if this is, ananthis is a big if, we havent confirmed it. It will be days if not weeks before they can absolutely confirm it, but if this is true, a major escalation, a much more powerful weapon. They had done three previous tests, but they were lower yield plutonium devices. They also have a Uranium Program but no idea that they were this advanced if this is indeed a hydrogen blast. All right. Andrea mitchell, andrea, s sck around. Well talk to but politics in a moment. A moment. Yeah. Lets turn to the president ial race now. New attacks from republican frontrunner donald trump against both his republican and democratic rivals. In a moment, how Hillary Clinton is responding to trump, but, first, lets go to nbc National CorrespondentPeter Alexander in washington for the late on the reporter hi, savannah. Gogo morning. Those republicans once just curious about trump are now creasingly committeded here you go. A new reuters online poll today shows trump way out in front at 42 nationally, three times ted cruzuz support. Still, cruz polled best in iowa. The first caucus state and in a clearer sign yet that trump sees talking up questions about cruzs eligibility to be president. The natitis best known Birther Donald t tmp famously demanded to see president Barack Obamas birth certificate and now taking issue with texas senator ted cruzs birthplace, canada. Raising the topic on msnbcs morning joe. Its a problem for him. Lets assume he got the nomination, and the democrats bring suit. The suit takes two to three years to solve so how do you run . Reporter trump later punctuating his point to the washington post. A lot of people are talking about it, and i know that even strongly, he said. The fact that he was born in canada and hes had a double passport. Cruz tweeting his response, this unforgettable seen from happy days with the fonz literally jumping the shark, suggesting trump is getting desperate. Most legal expertstsgree hes the son of an American Mother cruz qualifies as a natural born citizen. Nbcs casey hunt asked jeb bush about it tuesday night. Do you think that ted cruz is a naturalborn c cizen and is eligibib for the presidency . Yeah, i do. Reporter trump isnt backing down from his confrontation with the clintons either. Its fair game when they attack me. Im going to attack them. Reporter the billionaire insisting he only brout up bill clintons extra Marital Affairs after Hillary Clinton accused him ofofexism first. Wheheshe said that, well, your husband is now campaigning, its open season. Now if he wasnt campaigning, maybe it would be different, and if he werent a past president it would be totally different. Reporter and hours after president obamas emotional peal for an end to g g violence, the republicans remained unimpressed. Trump teeing off from new they are not going to take your guns away, folks. Theyre notot going to take your gugu away. Reporter ted cruz mocking the president as a tyrant tweeting gun control is government control. And new this morning, trumps wife milania is speaking out candidly, the supermodel telling Harpers Bazaar magazine that shshs chosen to stay quiui but isisquote, very political in private life. She says she hasnt thought much about life in the white house but has been working with the couples 9yearold son baron to keep his life in her words as normal as possible. Matt and savannah . All right, peter, t tnk you. On the democratic side, frontrunner Hillary Clinton is responding to some of trumps rhetoric as she takes her campaign west today. Nbcs Kristen Welker has more on that. Hi, kristen, good morning. Reporter hey, matt, good morning to you. Thats right. Secretary clinton will be campaigning in las vegas later today. Of course, nevada is a key western state, and it comes as escalating. Facing an increasingly competitive race in mustwin iowa hililry clinton ignored Donald Trumps attacks late tuesday focusing instead on rallying her supporters here. You know, im excited about the organization weve been building here in the state. Reporter but earlier in the day, fireworks for trump. Clinton saying his heated rhetoric makes him unfit to lead. We should not reward people who use inflammatory rhetoric, who use the kind of derogatory comments whether its about muslims or mexicans or women or people with disabilities, whoever it might be. Reporter in an exclusive interview with msnbcs chris mamahews clinton warned thats a sign of, you know, shownship, of desperation that should be rejected roundly by the american people. Reporter strong words, but clinton stopped there, refusing to engage trump on his personal attacks of her and her husband who is back on the trail this week. President bill clinton for the transgressions that nearly it is . I will not respond to his how can i rephrase i will not respond to his personal attack what does it say about the republicans . I sound like a lawyer. How can i rephrase he can say whatever he wants to say. Ill talk about what i wanted to talk about. Reporter and thousands of miles away at the white house president obama announced new actions on gun laws. Every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. Reporter clinton making no mention of the president getting emotional, praised obama while also taking a little credit. I was very proud that he made these recommendations, somomof which i have been advocating in this campaign for. Reporter now, clinton has made gun control a key pillar of her campaign. It resonates with democratic primary voters and also one of the rare issues that shes seen as being to the left of vermont senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders also praised president obamas actions on guns yesterday. Will face off at a party dinner in las vegas tonight. Matt, savannah, back to you. All right. Kristen welker, thanks very much. Lets focus in on the state of the race with less than four weeks to go from the Iowa Caucuses with chuck todd and Andrea Mitchell and here in the studio Nicolle Wallace and Mark Halperin and managing editor of blooooerg politics and msnsn commentator Steve Kornacki. Good morning to all of you. Full house. Segment is over with all of yours resumes. Ted cruz has launched a missive excuse me, trump has launched a missive on ted cruzs eligibility to run for president. Do you think this is something that will have appeal with conservative voters, or does this have the feel of kind of throwing everything at the wall . I think its a distraction. I think, you know, watch today when when t t talk radio circuit who has been very supportive of ted cruz, and any time theres been a split sided with cruz. I suspect unless they somehow turn on cruz on this issue, i dont think this is going to be an issue at all with nservative voters. Nicole, let me turn to you. Wheres myth romney. When is he going to endorse a candidate in this ration, and how important would would that endorsement be . I think hes wise to stay quiet because the age. Arbiter or the referee in republican politics is long gone. John m main is another figururin the rereblican party. He used to be able to throw a flag and call this or that in bounds or out of bounds. The reason i think people like that have stayed kwai set that the Republican Base is so disdainful of the whole notion of any sort of establishment figure coming in and giving them any sort of guguance. If he were to jump behind Chris Christie or marco rubio you dont think it would make any difference . Not only do i think it would not only help them, i think theres possibility it could hurt them. That leads me to the question with Steve Kornacki which is where is this vaunted republican establishment that used to be balls and strikes . Where are they . Is this Campaign Going tonight end what have we call if it rears its head it will be in New Hampshire. It wont in iowa, and the biggest problem the establishment has in New Hampshire slight now is youve got four candidates, christie, rubio, kasich and bush, running 10 , 12 and all eating up the socalled establishment vote and letting people run away so if one can consolidate they can give trump a run for the on rare occasions when the discussion includes anyone other than donald trump and Hillary Clinton you hear more and more people saying Chris Christie is heating up. Hes on the move. He may be peaking at the right time, and yet if you look at his National Polling numbers, you dont dont really see that. Why are people suddenly going behind Chris Christie . Because to win youve got to win a state or do really well in a state and Chris Christie in New Hampshire, to take the old line, perfect together. Its a good state for him. Donald trump, based on his resources and his message and poll standing, hell be a finalist. Ted cruz, resources, poll create another finalist. Youve got to create it if youre jeb bush or chris christst or marco rubio. Christie looks like a guy who can create this for himself right now because hes got a message and hes swaggering. You agree . In New Hampshire, can i see him emerge there. I think hes making more moves outside of New Hampshire thats been detected on a wide scale. Made some good moves in iowa. Drove over the holidays from to iowa. National security voters in iowa who care a lot about fighting terrorism. The world is on fire. He could finish third in iowa and then mitt romney and others will say this isisur one guy from our establishment lane, were going to get behind him but i agree with nicole, may not help him. I want to get andrea into this conversation. Lets talk about the bill clinton factor, andrea. Obviously incredibly popular with democratic voters and yet weve seen this wound open up that donald trump has driven right through in terms of the negatives of bill clinton. Is he a net positive or net negative when you factor all that in . Overwhelming popularity in every poll, especially with the general electorate, i think its a net positive. Hes obviously a lightning rod in republican primaries, and thats why youre hearing donald trump and all the others going after him. So its a great issue in the republican primaries, but in the general election i think hes a net positive as long as he goes along with the guide action. You can see when we were with him the other day in nashua, in New Hampshire, he really wanted to respond to trump and bit his tongue and pulled back but there will be a moment when he might go off the program. Mark, that was one of your questions. Will he take the bait at some point . The clintons have a big choice to make, do they want to spend january fighting with trump . They say if he goes after other americans that they will engage him, that they will hold him accountable. They dont want to engage on the personal stuff. Lets see if they can be disciplined. Fifiting with trump, everyone we learned this year and last year thank you. New developments this morning in another story. The investigation into last months terror attack in san bernardino, california. Federal authorities are looking for the publics help in accounting for every moment of the killers whereabouts on that day. There is an 18minute gap in the timeline between the massacre that left 14 dead and the shootout where both gunmen were killed. The fbi says they want to know in syed farook and Tashfeen Malik stopped at any residence or business that they dont already know about. And now to the situation still unfolding in oregon where armed antigovernment protesters have taken over a federal wiwilife refuge.

Next tuesday in a morning show first we are going to broadcast our entire show there. This is unprecedented. This is the day of president obamas very last state of the union address. We will have unique access inside the white house for the entirety of our show. Were going to have some rooms that are rarely seen by the public walking through them and, of course, well sit down with the president as well and talk about some of the issues facing his presidency in its final year.

The north korean regime is essentially a rogue state. We have no reason to think they will behave responsibly. President obama outlined his new gun control executive order, unable to hold back tears as he remembered 20 children murdered at sandy hook elementary. Every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. Conservatives are hitting back. They are not going to take your guns away, folks. Donald trump taking issue its a problem for him and its a problem obviously for the republicans. Reporter trump didnt backing down with his confrontation with the clintons sgleert its fair game when they attack me. Ill attack them. Thats a sign of showmanship, of desperation. Reporter extreme weather slamming into the west. None of us are going to escape the wrath of el nino. Relentless rain, cars and roads submerged. Rock slides and flooding. This storm is real, and its coming. Quick look at head links, and heres another big headline of the morning. Powerball fever sweeping the nation with tonights jackpot now at a staring 450 million. That makes it one. Largest ever. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is in miami where people are business buying tickets. Kerry, good morning to you. Reporter well, good morning, savannah. Im at the caribe cafe and theres a little bit of a lull. A line on and off this morning as people are lining up in 44 the Virgin Islands all hoping to get what will be the fourth largest jackpot in u. S. History. Now, the chances of winning this are 1 in 292 2292,201,338. Youre more likely to get struck by lightning, become president of the united states, get bitten by a shark or die from an asteroid hitting you in the head. Now, if you are going to play this game just remember its a 2 bet. Its not like you increase your odds by buying more tickets, so dont go play the whole paycheck here while youre trying to win. If you buy a 2 ticket or buy five tickets your odds are about the same. Thats the way statistics work according to the statisticians. Now, if you are lucky enough to walk away with this jackpot alone, youll still have to pay some taxes, so your winning will be 275. 4 million that you can take it out over 30 years, and those federal taxes, they will take about 25 and then, of course, you have state taxes unless you happen to be in one of those states like florida where you dont have to pay income taxes because there arent any. We found this lucky dollar on the sidewalk today, so were going to take these two and were going to play those and were going to do a quick pick here and hopefully among the many people playing there will be a winner, because if there is not a winner, this will roll over, and havent quite calculated how big it will be, but it will be likely the largest jackpot ever. So, guys, theres my numbers, what do you think . Kerry, if it rolls over, theres a 100 chance youll be doing that live shot again next week. Kerry, powerball fever. Reporter and if you dont see me here tomorrow youll know why. Powerball fever at that store is 98. 6. By the way, guys. Oh, come on. Really. What if i win, then what happens . I get 75 of it. Make that deal. Odds are the same if you have one ticket or bought 500 tickets. According to kerry. That doesnt make any sense to me. Remember who bought you those tickets. When a guy. Okay. Were going to change gears and talk about one fathers outrage over what he sees as an overaggressive tsa patdown of his 10yearold daughter. It dragged on for nearly two minutes and you have more on in. Kevin pace is normally an advocate of security, but he says that the patdown at airport in raleigh, North Carolina, made his 10yearold daughter feel very uncomfortable, and he says it crossed the line. Using his cell phone camera a shocked and upset father record his daughter receiving what he believed to be an unnecessary and invasive tsa patdown. She just had a completely blank stare on her face. Uncomfortable for her. The video shows the agent slowly and meticulously frisking the 10yearold for nearly two full minutes. What was going through my mind is this is annoying. I dont like this. I want to run out the door. The girl was screened after a juice pack was found in her carryon, according to her father. A swab from her bag came back with a false positive reading. Its not broken. Its not clearing. It seemed to be the goto option for them and they could have done a better scrutiny of what they were looking for prior to putting their hands all over my 10yearold daughter. The issue over whether children should receive patdowns is controversial. According to tsa protocols, officers will work with parents to resolve any alarms at the checkpoint and has modified screening procedures for children 12 and under that reduce the likelihood of patdown screening. In a statement to nbc news, the tsa says tsa screening patdown of a child under certain circumstances. The process by wit child was patted down followed approved procedures. The tsa also points out that the process was observed by the childs parent and there was a cell phone with an alarm going off in the childs bag requiring additional resolution procedures. As for the paces, they understand the importance of airline security, but when it comes to kids, there has to be a better way. Maybe they need retraining. Maybe they did everything by the book. I dont really know, but it was, you know, an uncomfortable situation. And pace says he has contacted his u. S. Congressman about the incident, and they will be filing a formal complaint. Obviously tsa doing their jobs, but i think we all have to question on a 10yearold, is it excessive . With children its always a difficult barometer. You can understand how a father would feel. Absolutely. Mr. Roker. All right. Lets show you what weve got going on right now. Another area of moisture flooded out last weekend. Here we go. Weve got gulf moisture coming up out of south, and it will be combining with that storm system that brought all the heavy rain to california, so rain will be going over saturated ground. Rivers are still rising from earlier rain. To the north weve got a wintry mix. Going to make trouble for travel with ice and low visibility, so right now as far as flooding is concerned, 181 river gauges nationwide above flood stage. Stage. The good news is the lighter rain will fall right over the mississippi, so thats good news. Were looking snowfallwise out of this between today and tomorrow 2 to 4 inches as you getevening. We will start the day with a mostly cloudy sky, but light snow showers will track in later this afternoon and especially this evening and overnight. Tomorrow we will start off with a mix of rain and snow, perhaps a freezing drizzle but then we will see a transition to all rain with warmer temperatures. And that is your latest weather. Savannah . All right, al, thank you. Just ahead a potential game changer that could be coming to the twitter feed. But first the president moved to tears and what happens when politicians show their emotions right after this. Weight watchers has changed.

And xifaxan works differently. Its a prescription antibiotic that acts mainly in the digestive tract. Do not use xifaxan if you have a history of sensitivity to rifaximin, rifamycin antibiotic agents, or any components of xifaxan. Tell your doctor right away if your diarrhea worsens a sign of a serious or even fatal condition. Tell your doctor if you have Liver Disease or are taking other medications, because these may increase the amount of xifaxan in your body. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan on becoming pregnant, or are nursing. The most common side effects are nausea and an increase in liver enzymes. If you think you have ibs with diarrhea, talk to your doctor about new xifaxan. I recommend nature made vitamins. Because i trust their quality. An independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards. Nature made. The number one pharmacist recommended letter vitamin brand. After trying brookside chocolate, people talk about it online. Love at first taste. I would liquefy it and bathe in it. Curse you, brookside your nefarious plans have succeeded. Nefarious . Are we still talking about chocolate . Brookside. Were back now. 7 43. A lot of people watching this live. A lot of people talking about it today, the rare display of emotion from president obama. He wiped back tears, if you saw it during the speech on gun violence and what happens when politicians wear emotions on their sleeves and nbcs Andrea Mitchell has been looking into that part of the story. Andrea, good morning again. Reporter good morning again, savannah. Well, he is famously known to even criticized as a political mr. Spock, but president obama was unapologetically angry and emotional when talking about the victims of gun violence, especially the children of new town. Perhaps it was the weight of so many tragedies, charleston, gabby giffords, concernedio, sandy hook elementary, the thought of those children reducing the most powerful man in the world to tears. First graders. And from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun ever time i think about those kids it gets me mad. Time this president has cried in public. Sometimes its personal, when the grandmother who raised him died. Theres great joy as well as tears. Reporter or after winning reelection thanking his campaign team. Im really proud of that. Im really proud of all of you. Reporter but barack obama is hardly alone among politicians showing their emotions. It can cut both ways. Former senator ed misks president ial hopes were washed away on a teary day in 1972. In 2008, Hillary Clinton won New Hampshire by showing her human side. Just dont want to see us full backwards, you know. I dont. Reporter even dwight d. Eisenhower, the celebrated commander of allied forces in world war ii, wasnt afraid to cry while saluting veterans of the 82nd airborne during the 1952 campaign. Ronald reagan didnt cry, but his emotions were raw after the challenger exploded in 1986. Journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of god. Reporter first president bush out of office struggled to express his feelings about son jeb in 2006. A true measure of a man is how you handle victory and also defeat. After 9 11, the second president bush. Our unity is a kinship of grief. The son feeling the comforting hand of his father, but no president has been a match for the former speaker of the house. Our hearts are broken but our spirit is not. Reporter never afraid to show his emotions. President s and other politicians turning the old adage on its head. Big men and women do cry. Back to you guys. All right, andrea. That brought us to tears, and i yeah, watching it back. Yeah, thank you. Look back at those stories as we remember them, i thought shuttle disaster was every time i hear them i get choked up. Pierces your soul. Carson over in the original room and a lot of people talking about this online. What are they saying . Response on social media was rather mixed. Support from the president like the New York Times columnist enkristoff tweeting some think that obamas tears about gun violence show weakness. Know. We should all be crying about 320,000 deaths per year. Seeing president obama cry makes me proud to have a leader so moved by the stories and lives of americans and there were others not show moved. This one and the as car for the best fake crying to make an emotional point to push his antigun agenda goes to president obama and nick addressing his message to the Senior Adviser valerie jarrett.

Tomorrow we will start off with a mix of rain and snow, perhaps a freezing drizzle but then we will see a transition to all rain with warmer temperatures and thats your latest weather. Savannah . Already feeling tired this morning. According to a new study sleep problems are more common in women than men, but, of course, we could all use help getting a better nights rest and the dr. Oz will be tackling that on his show later today. Dr. Oz, good morning. Good morning. An interesting study, women tend to report more sleep problems than men. Why is that . Is there a gender difference . Weve known this for a long time. Were hard wired to worry more. And women have menstruation and menopause, pregnancy, someone else actually keeps you up. Not surprising at all and reinforced for single women its a big problem trying to rear kids and get sgleep another piece of the study said that men reported more often getting less than the recommended seven hours about sleep problems but not getting the sleep that they have. They dont even know its a problem. Really important for us to get this right because it causes a range of floobs are not necessarily related. High blood pressure, how is that a possibility but it does actually link to not getting enough sleep and putting weight on, is linked to sleep. If you dont sleep enough you wont be table lose weight. On the other hand, all of us who are run down, ill just eat whatever, you dont have the willpower to resist. Theres emotional issues and what im focusing on this afternoon and today well focus on physical problems that keep you up. Okay. The first one has to do with the temperature. Be clear on this. You really want to sleep in a cave. How cold . Lets get this straight. If youre fighting with your spouse about the appropriate temperature, whoever wants it colder, they win. No magic number but never want to be warmer than 68 degrees. Really . And its okay to go down below 65, even to 62 degrees. You might be seeing your breath when you sleep and had a little you dont mind. From my friends in the sleep business. If you cant get cold enough for the temperature put socks on. Keeping your feet warm allows your core body temperature to go cold and like a bear you would hibernate. If it were 68 i would pile on will clothes. Under the covers its okay. You want your extremities to feel chill, especially your face and hands. You want that. If youre uncomfortable youll sleep much better. Our blowing my mind. After you keep things chilled, deal with the light issues. A very toxic problem we have had our sleep. When you have bright light it turn so for at least a half hour before you go to bed tonight, i want you to dim down the lights or be smart and by some of those l. E. D. Lights. Your body naturally.

There are bright bulbs that are white that help you turn your brain on. And next. I mentioned, if youre not weight. They dont understand the biology of blubber. And the program with all of the information on the today show website. With a big Weight Loss Program it works primarily, it wants you to take one day off for the emotional and physical need to crave things but also eat earlier in the day. If you eat earlier, youll sleep better. Your brain is hardwired if it doesnt sleep, it will want food. Exercise. Exercise early. You dont want do do anything in the evening. Warm baths will do that. Get into your cave and enjoy sleep. Youre making me tired, dr. Oz. Ill send it over to you. Gil martin is here. Is this a fun day .

Thats right when he cut out the musical number that was right there. We had a big dance. We had yeah. But do you like it in that category . Do you think that that gives it see it elsewhere or does it snaert. It doesnt matter. I mean, it is its certainly not up to us, so, you know, theres not anything really we can do about it.

Because i have a Room Temperature or iq like the Room Temperature and as i watched the move youre alone a lot on screen and ill ask you both this, what was it like when youre making a movie where theres nobody to play off of it . One. Things exciting about taking the job, but also one of the reasons i i only would have done it with a handful of directors. You know, when youre working with a master director, you know, that risk is really mitigated, you know, by knowing that youre not really alone. Basically delivering the lines to him. Yeah, yeah. So he was my scene buildy. And hes been here over 100 times over the years and gotten to know him pretty well. How did you survive being alone with him on a soundstage hour after hour after hour . Well, its its a very beautifully putdown play h. The words are lovely and humorous and you have to be able to reflect as to what hes going to do next and there lies the humor. We came up with a solution so you can have apt character with him, something with him. It was a gopro, 24 little cameras in the habitat and thinking and pondering what hes doing and suddenly hes talking to the gopro so suddenly theres a changed international because suddenly he has someone to talk to. It snepd. Story line, the whole nasa story line and pl and Jessica Chastain and the rest of my team trying to get back to me so two exciting story lines so if im getting really boring he has something to get back to.

All that and more coming up next announcer from nbc news, this is todays take, with willie geist, al roker, Natalie Morales and tamron hall live from studio 1a. Welcome to today. 2016. The temperature is dropping. No, its going up. Im just referencing the size of our intimate group outside. The people are dropping from the temperature. Thats what im saying. Colder than a kuiper stick. I believe you look like a fine croupier. Whats that . You run the craps table. Not a crapper. Hes a croupier. That would make sense. But that would be bad luck if you step up to the table and the croupier. I like the yosemite sam tie. Took ten ties of this thing. I like it. And the last time i wore this someone said the man from the guy from little house on the prayer, request the minister. Michael landon. No, no, the minister guy. Im surely twitter will tell us with the more than 140 characters that you may be able to use now. 10,000. Thats dreadful. Too much. Too much time. Just stop it. Lets talk about the president. United states yesterday making a speech about guns, announcing some executive actions he plans on taking. Hopefully to stop gun violence in this country, he said. President obama angry as he spoke and then emotional when he talked specifically about the children and the victims at sandy hook. First graders and from every family who who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun. Every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. Hmm. We dont see that a lot. No. From any president , not just this president. Almost instantly. Yeah. People thought it was crocodile tears to help get gun control through but i think any of us who sort of covered that story, any time i think about sandy hook you feel that as well. It doesnt mean his policies are going to fix the gun problems, doesnt even mean its the right thing, talking about that emotion. Behind were the parents who lost their children in violence, with gun violence. The children in chicago, and you see them in the background. How could you stand in the presence of that pain that continues every day they have to wake up without their children and not be moved by that, politics aside. Youre surrounded by so much emotion, it would be hard not to take that . Yeah. However you fall on that issue. You know, its a human issue. And theres been a lot of times that weve seen politicians show emotion in the past. It takes a lot. I mean, it sakes sandy hook or president george w. Bush after 9 11, emotional and rightly so and president the 82nd airborne and a man who knew war all too well and as he said there was you know, you heard from different sides in the immediate aftermath of it. Wow, started a conversation. Also continuing jackpot Powerball Jackpot fever. Weve got tickets. I didnt know that until this morning. Did you know about this . Heres the thing. Heres why you dont know about it. Because our producers have all pitched on this and said we have no stake in any of these tickets. It was a media blackout. They turned off my tv at home. Except for one of our producers. Shes australian. She doesnt believe in the lotto. They dont have lotteries in australia. Not eligible here because shes australian. I just made that up. Completely eligible. Shes not american so is against our system of getting rich. Like unicorns. Place who sells vegemite. Like the ad says, got to play to win. Got to be in it to win it. 450 mill. The fourth largest jackpot of all time. Drawing at 10 59 tonight. Chances in winning with, 1 in 292,201,338. So were in. Better chance of getting struck by lightning, which is 1 in 1 million. 40 worth of chances. Becoming president of the united states, 1 in 10 million and gotten bitten by a shark 1 in 1. 5 million or die from an 700,000. Any one of those not a very good day except winning the president. Dont kill my joy. Like i dont want to heart odds against me. If you win its 100 , which is fantastic. If you dont buy one ticket you have 0 chance. When it gets a lump sum of 275. 4 or do the yearly payment option. Dont do that. Take the money. Absolutely. Matt lauer, our estaemd colleague on on our earlier portion. Today show. Ive heard of him. I love that you have to say esteemed. Esteemed. He was really ticked this morning because he brought us all Lottery Tickets and asked if he could initial it just so we could show. Because he said hes going to take a 75 cut. And natalie refused to let him initial. Right. Because he was joking. Then i could say i bought you cant enforce that. He can block her up in court. Wouldnt that be a great story. Great legal battle here. Your children will be out of college by the time she gets your hands on the money. Ill take 25 of 450 mill, thats hock. You say that now. I dont believe in splitting a Lottery Ticket. If youre going to buy it, buy it yourself. And mr. Lauer is a very generous man. It was given. Its not a confirmed wing ticket. And the amount of that, all out the window once that ticket is the winner. Who is that esteemed man, matt lester . Lester . He would forgot those names. Adam wants those tickets back. Possession is 9 10 of the law. Now youre turning into natalie. Heres one for you. Heres one for you. Ill tablgt 20 share. No one is in the control sgloom if i have to share i dont want any of them. Wow. I like that. Thats a good sportsmanship which segues us to our next story. High School Basketball coach in middletown, pennsylvania, caught on camera. This is pretty bad. Knocking oh, geez. Thats the coach from nashimy high school. I love how we say it looks like he head butts. No one collapses to the ground without some impact on him, so the video is from the city of basketballlove. Com. The School District issued a statement on facebook saying the coach has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of a review for both do we know who the ref is . You know what . I cant even imagine. Look at how hes propelled back. Thats a hard hit. Wow. Gosh. Im glad somebody caught that on video so. This guy needs to lose her job. Thats thats inexcusable. Beyond that, it certainly that could be criminal. Thats what i was about to say. The job, of course, is a big deal, but he could perhaps face some kind of criminal charges there. For sure. Thats an attack, he fell back that. His head, anything, and the stadium or arena are filled with people. Kids. Remember we had the football stories last fall where the coaches allegedly sent their players. I always wonder what gets into people like in that moment. Remember the coach from texas tech, the famous one who threw all of the chairs. Bone knight. What gets into you, that kind of rage comes out. Theres being competitive. Caught up in the sports. But you cant forgot sportsmanship. That doesnt go out window. Well, yesterday, we had a lot of fun here. We were talking about the new nbc News Survey Monkey politics, the poll, the partnership. The partnership that we, have and al took issue with survey monkey. I didnt take issue, i think thats a funny name. Where does this name come, from whats it all about . What goes on at survey monkey . Are there monkeys sitting around . How do you visualize . Eating bananas and grooming each other. Youre not too far off. Because the company tweeted after the show saying hey, al row, were all here, hard at work, improving the quality of polls one survey at a time. Pretty far off. Okay. Well, look. They got one monkey. One monkey. Thats a very disturbing monkey. And all the employees who provide us with their great polling. And they told us the companys founder wanted a name that represented people who asked questions and are curious and i guess monkeys are curious creatures. Curious george. And they do have monkeys all around the office and they also eat a lot of bananas, fun fact about the employees. They eat about 1,100 bananas a month so, yes, they are rewarded by banana, banana peels. Wow. And bananas are the theme throughout the office. I love sock monkey. They do an awesome job. Fantastic. A lot of hard work. Thats awesome. Survey monkey says thats right. A lot going on. Weve been talking about el neonio. The typical el nino pattern has been kind of off a little bit because most storms have been up to the north and the Pacific Northwest in Northern California but now were seeing a more typical el nino pattern where were seeing heavier rain now moving into Southern California and also another big storm moving into central and Northern California, but weve got to worry about more flooding. A flood threat for our friends in los angeles down to san diego. Rainfall rates 1 to 2 inches per hour possible and you look at all the snow thats going to be falling. We even could have blizzardlike conditions in the cascades and sierras. Wind gusts of 60 Miles Per Hour with whiteout conditions and a warmup coming. Look at this, by friday, temperatures will be starting to warm up anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees above average, but minneapolis, boston, atlanta, down on into daytona beach, look at how much cooler it gets as you head out west so we flip the tale of two countries. Evening. We will start the day with a mostly cloudy sky, but light snow showers will track in later this afternoon and especially this evening and overnight. Tomorrow we will start off with a mix of rain and snow, perhaps a little freezing drizzle but then we will see a transition to all rain with warmer temperatures. And thats your latest weather. Weve got some great interviews coming up. Matt damon and ridley scott and sylvester stallion and the young director ryan cougar. The young guy who at 26 years old had never made a movie.

Hey we might be able to keep it from tipping. Watch out hand that is just the beginning. Matt damon and ridley scott, good morning, guys. Good to see you. I was going to ask you about playing such a solitary role, matt, but now that i understand your relationship together, you were not out there alone. No. In the desert or on the soundstage. You had this guy at your side. I had one of the greatest directors of all time next to me, so, yeah, it made it a lot you know, it kind of took handled the risk factor for me having ridley next to me. A practical snaert are you standing there by matt or feeding him lines, talking back and forth with him . A bit of everything. Theres a bit of communication and a very good spacesuit with a great hearing device. I can talk to him. And some of them are going to go out there and chat. Or if ive got it i usually have to go out and say, you know what, i think ive got it. Are you happy, and he says can we just do one more . Okay. And a lot of times he says say it like this, dumbdumb and gives me a line reading right into my ear. I dont care now. Likewise, okay, ready. Give him the line. Thats the relationship you two guys have. I feel like, matt, i know a ridley scott movie when i see it, when it comes up on the screen the first couple of minutes, as an actor whats the ridley scott experience . Its really funny you should say that, well, first of all, he uses four cameras at a time on everything, even on quiet scenes like three people sitting around talking. If you told me at the at the outset of this project that that could works would i have said thats just not true, but hes somehow kind of able to do that. And for you, ridly, the flip side of that. Whats the matt damon experience. This is an actor who obviously has a directors eye. Not all actors are have all the everything being to be really agreeable, great fun, very talented and fundamentally does the whole thing and thinks very much as an artist actor and also as a mindset of a director, definitely going to do it. And and and as a producer, so its a Real Partnership of practicality and artistry. Ive got to throw something at you, matt. Not. This is going around online right now, and and someone has gone to the trouble of tallying up the total money spent rescue is your characters from movies. This is a man who gets stranded and needs help a lot. Grand is the estimate. Pretty cheap. Saving priflt ryan, 100 grand which sounds low to me, not mention the logs ofive. Loss of two lives and they went a long way. I guess it was 1945. Exactly. Okay, but if we adjust it for inflation. Okay. Had a whole different story titan ae, 200 billion, now were jumping up a bit. An animated film so it couldnt have cost that much. Siriana 50 krand. Green zone, 50 grand. And allysum 100 million. And interstellar 100 million. Just for a camaro. And finally the martian. 200 billion and this puts the cost of your rescues mere 1 trillion. But im not there yet. Knocking on the door. So for the sake. A romkon. I feel like i owe whatever they want at this point. Ill take any and all suggestions. Obviously youre both nominated for this film. The film is nominated. Youre sure to be nominated for an oscar as well. You won won in 97. What would you mean this time around, best actor . You know, honest to god, i really there are other performances i would give it to. Im much more interested in the director race this year. Yeah. I did this movie with ridley because hes a hero of mine and when it started out he direct the the best picture, directed gladiator and wasnt a producer and didnt have one so for me its like you know, our awards are all diminished until he wins one, you know. Would it mean something to you, ridley, would it be a big deal . Yeah, of course. Its been a long time. Well, of all your great films this might be the one, guys.

Willie . Its what rocky fans have been hoping for, another film in the blockbuster franchise, and the latest chapter is called creed about adonis, the son of apollo creed who tracks down his fathers most famous opponent rocky balboa and asks him to become his trainer. To tell you the true, you will know that when the time is right. You going to take this, going to get knocked down and youre going to get up and see if you have the right thing, but youve got to work hard. I swear to god if youre not going to do it, im out. Every punch ive thrown has been my own. Nobody showed me how to do this. Im ready. And were here with rocky balboa himself, sylvester stallion, nominated for a golden globe for his performance in this field and also creed writer and director. Gentlemen, good to see you. Can you believe, sylvester, its been 40 years since that first rocky movie. Good news, bad news. I think thats pretty good news, thor saoies has held up well. Its amazing. Just i think the rocky story was pretty much told and i was very, very happy with the results of the last rocky balboa, and for this young man to come up and reboot the its creed and ive been kind of relegated into mickey, im not the trainer, and its a whole other journey, and its brought up a new generation of millennials and even younger so i think it was pretty extraordinary. When you finished rocky balboa in 2006 did you say, okay, put to bed. Rocky is done. It was one of my gratifying moments because i never thought it could be done, you know, just it was a hard a hard film to get made. Well, we have this thing about a 60yearold fighter, what . And when it finally did reach completion, i thought its amazing, a minor miracle, and then all of a sudden just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. This man enters the picture. We were just talking, ryan, about your gut, a guy who a few years ago whose first feature film had not been released which went on to great critical acclaim and success and that movie wasnt out yet. You approached sill vestier is out and said im going to make the next rocky movie. Where did you get the courage to do that . Ive never asked you. Im going to ask you in front of millions of people. The gal, the absolute gal. It was more naivety i would say. I had nothing to lose, didnt really know how the industry worked, and really inspired from my relationship with my father and my father is crazy, you know what i mean. He just goes for it in every situation, you know, and when i came up with this idea for him and had the opportunity to to talk to stallion about it, i just took it. You know, i was too young and foolish to know better. If he understood how the business worked it wouldnt have worked. Now i get it. Whats your reaction when you get a phone call from a guy you never heard of, wants to put out the next rocky movie. Leave it alone, in the ground since 2006 and he came in with all this exuberance, very athletic, and jumping around and very physical. In the pitch hes doing that. Very physical, really. He burns thousand hand millions of calories a day. Am i right . And the his enthusiasm was infectious and hadnt done anything. Thanks anyway, appreciates it and he comes back with the awardwinning movie. Intimidating at all to think about the project youre taking on when sylvester stallion says yes. You have a lofty dream and the day comes true. It was the happiest day and the motivating. I report first day in philadelphia, running around and sly came on the set and i remember, said, hey, man, you going to stand over here, have any questions and before i could even finish my sentence, all. Extras said give him a standing ovation, 3004, hundred philadelphia extras for this fight and i couldnt even finish was so happy to see rocky back in the ring and we had to take a fiveminute break. Ryan, thank you for jumping around in that office that day and convincing sylvester stallion to do it because its a remarkable film and you deserve all the praise. He real, real does. Thanks so much.

I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you.
