It is this powerful handshake that has the internet talking today, friday, april 15th, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Matt is back on monday. I guess the indian Prime Minister got the memo, good to have a firm handshake. Vice shake there. Good crowd on the plaza. Safe to say, spring is here. Millions of people have temperatures in the 70s this weekend. Happy to hear that. Our top story is this bitter feud between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders that reached new heights in the debate in brooklyn last night. Our decision 2016 team has it covered this morning. Were also going to talk to rnc chairman Reince Priebus about his ongoing delegate dustup with donald trump. First, Andrea Mitchell is here. She was at the debate late last night and what a debate it was. Good morning. In a debate that more than lived up to its billing, the two democrats ripped into each others judgment and readiness to be president. Reporter in the only showdown before the make or break new york primary, fireworks almost from the moment they took the stage. I do question her judgment. I question a judgment which voted for the war in iraq. The words Foreign Policy blunder the history of this country. Well, the people of new york voted for me twice to be their senator from new york. And president obama trusted my judgment enough to ask me to be secretary of state. I think you need to have the judgment on day one to be both president and commander in chief. Do we really feel confident about a candidate saying that shes going to bring change in america when she is so dependent by big money interests . I dont think so. Reporter wall street and her paid speeches, a growing feud. I stood up against the behaviors of the bank when i was a senator. I called them out on their mortgage behavior. Secretary clinton called them out. Oh, my goodness. They must have been really crushed by it. Was that before or after you received huge sums of money by giving speaking engagements . Reporter they shouted each other down over the minimum wage. Wait a minute. Its not accurate. Wait a minute. I have stood on the debate stage can i i have said the exact same thing. Senator, please. If we can raise it in new york or los angeles if youre both screaming at each other, the viewers wont be able to hear either of you. Reporter clinton slamming sanders on guns. This is a serious difference between us, and what i want to start by saying, its not a laughing matter. 90 people, on average, a day are killed or commit suicide or die in accidents from guns. Reporter sanders calling her out for using the term super predators to describe drug dealers when she was first lady. Because it was a racist term and everybody knew it was a racist term. Reporter clinton acknowledging flaws in the 1994 crime bill that led to recent protests. Im sorry for the consequences that were unintended. Today, the candidates are going their separate ways. Sanders, to the vatican. Clinton, to california. Fundraisers with George Clooney. Leaving new york voters to sort through the candidates different positions on a host of issues. Andrea, stay with us. We want to bring Mark Halperin into the conversation. Managing editor of bloomberg politics. Good to see you. Morning. 291 delegates of state in new york. We vote on tuesday. Did anything happen last night to change the dynamic in new york . Ninth debate between them. Over the last few months, we learned sanders is great at raising money, inspiring young people, not that great at debating. Hes fine. But she left openings last night that a skilled candidate would have walked her through and put her on the defense. He didnt do it. I think going to the vatican is symbolic. Finishes the debate, leaves the country and is behind and didnt do anything last night to catch up. If you look at the first debate and the ninth debate, the race has been static but the tone, what a difference. You could feel the static electricity between the two of them. These two people really do not like each other. You can feel that she, even though she cant say it publicly, wants to say, enough already, i have the numbers. Leave me alone. And he is really getting angrier and angrier. 27,000 people last night. He feels he could almost do this, except for the delegate math. His argument is, enough already. Ive won eight of the last nine states. I keep winning. Why would i get out of the race . Where does this send for him, if it does . She needs to be winning. Got to win in new york and then win in the other northeastern states. That would go a long way. Not being able to get him out of the race because he has the money to go through june in california, but to start convincing the party, its time to think about a general election. Hes got to fight back. Thats why last night was surprising to me. He has to be a fighter. Hes behind and basically accepted a status quo, familiar argument. There was a more heated tone but he needs to change the dynamic of the race, rather than continue along, which is what he did last night. Mark and andrea, thank you. Republican candidates were under the same roof attending the new york state republican gala in manhattan. Peter alexander covering that side of the race. Peter, good morning. The rnc is again trying to erase any criticism about the delegate selection process. Without naming names, pushing back after Donald Trumps relentless attacks that the system is, in his words, rigged, the party sending out a memo. The rules surrounding the delegate selection has been clearly laid out in every state and territory. Each process is easy to understand for those willing to learn it. Adding, it ultimately falls on the campaigns to be up to speed on the delegate rules. There is a new oped out from donald trump this morning, who has been outorganized by the cruz campaign. Hes a little more cooperative in his tone. Pledging to work with the rnc if elected to reform our election policies, he says. All three of the republicans though in midtown manhattan last night. New york city clearly is trumps town. 1,000 demonstrators protesting outside. Inside, trump made a passioned defense of new york values. It was a swipe at cruzs, whose applause line fell on deaf ears at the dinner. Pressing him to soften his rhetoric, as heading to the general election. Writing, the postpivol trump needs to be more president ial, better informed on policy, yet the promise is there in the rookie, they say, who is after all, leading the field. Four days ago, trump looking for an embrace from the empire state. Looks like hell get it according to the polls. Thank you so much. Reince priebus is the chairman of the Republican National committee and joins us this morning. Good to have you here. Good morning. I dont know if i need to remind you, donald trump is never at a loss for words. Ill play you a clip of the things hes said about the Republican Party organization over the last several days. This is a crooked system, folks. Its not fair, and its not fair to you people. Its a rigged, disgusting, dirty system. The Republican National committee, they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of crap to happen. For good measure, he added at another point, you personally ought to be ashamed of yourself. Is he out of line . Well, look, i mean, im not quite sure what the rhetoric is all about, but the truth is, these plans have been in place since october of last year. It was the same system that elected abraham lincoln. Its pretty much the same system that the democrats use. Delegates and voters choose the nominee. Thats whats happening. Quite frankly, the complaining that goes on is something that, i think, probably distracts from what we really need to do, which is to come together as republicans. I know its hard because we still have a contest. You know, i think it gets distracting and isnt something most people really give a darn about. Hes out there trashing the system, trashing the party. Have you called him up and said, hey, knock it off . Look, we talk a lot, savannah. I talk to all the candidates a lot. Its not a secret that we communicate with all the campaigns. We have been communicating. When someone publicly calls you out, i think you also publicly have to say, wait a second, here are the rules. Theyve been in place a long time. Even your reporter, peter alexander, has said the same thing. Its what we want to do, make sure that people understand these are rules that have been available. Theyre out there. Theyre submitted by all of the states. The rnc doesnt write these rules, the states do. Each state, in many cases, has a different way of electing delegates. You have to go into each other and learn the rules and run. By the way, hes done well. Hes received a greater percentage of delegates than the popular vote. You know, i think in the end, it works just fine. Chairman, hes not alone in thinking that this system is a little odd. Party activists choose the president , not the voters. People say its antidemocratic, including millions of people who support donald trump. Dont you think, as you look at it from a common sense point of view, there is something strange about that system . No. I mean, what about caucuses, is that strange . I moean, who is to say a primar is the only way to choose delegates . Some states use a convention. In virginia, they chose their the Republican Party of virginia chooses its governor candidate through a state convention. It really isnt strange. Its very grassroots. Over 60,000 people a month ago in colorado voted at their precinct level. Then they went to the county level. Then the Congressional District level. All the while, by the way, willie, all the candidates competed with surrogates in the system, without complaining, by the way. The whole way through for a month. I think its a little too late to complain after the fact, that a particular states process isnt something that you like. Now, what is true is that the system can be changed, but it has to be changed at the convention, if people want to change it with the delegates. Thats how the rules are written. I dont write the rules for the Republican Party. The delegates at the Convention Write the rules for the Republican Party. All right. Chairman priebus, were out of time. Thank you for your time this morning. You bet. Thanks, chairman. Donald trump will join us live next thursday in a town hall here on rockefeller plaza. Vice president bidens wife spoke to natalie about the president s decision not to run for president. Good morning. We had a unique opportunity to travel with dr. Jill biden to highlight a group shes passionate about. A group she has a personal connection to. Military families. She was very candid with us when it came to her husbands difficult decision. Your husband also said he regrets not running. Every day, for the most part. Is that something that you think about, as well . What it could have been like, had timing been a little bit different . Well, you know, i say every day, i mean, joe, i really do feel that joe would have made a great president. I think he has the character. I think that hes a one of his strengths is compromise. So i feel, you know, maybe america missed an opportunity. I dont know. It just wasnt the right time. Dr. Biden saying, given all the negative campaign rhetoric, that america could use a compromiser in chief. Timing wouldnt be right with the death of her son beau. We also had a visit to the fort base in kansas, home to 50,000 people. It was part of the joining forces initiative. She, along with first Lady Michelle obama, focused on the unique needs of military families. Well have more of that coming up later in the program. Thank you, natalie.

It takes work to keep the love alive in a marriage. How far would you be willing to go in the name of keeping your marriage fresh . New york post highlighted a modern approach. Spouses allowing their partners to cheat for a few days each year. Naturally, this is causing a lot of conversation. Erica hill is here with a look. A doozy is putting it quite well, savannah. Good morning. A wild weekend is one of the unexpected ways some married couples are navigating their relationship. Reporter theres a new take on marriage. The promise of fidelity that traditionally comes along with it. In the old days, infidelity, that was it. Today, people are saying, you know . Hmm, maybe divorce isnt the answer. Reporter according to relationship coach suzy johnson, a cheating spouse doesnt always leave a marriage in ruins. In fact, for some of her clients, she says its an opportunity. Yes, its a deal breaker, but its also affording you an opportunity to renegotiate and make a new deal. Reporter johnson is helping more and more couples strike that new deal. Theyre more into negotiating and talking about it and putting rules in place. People are opening up a little bit more about what they want, and rather than kind of doing the off the rack kind of marriage, theyre customizing. Reporter for the past two decades, the percentages of men and women who cheat have stayed roughly the same. According to researchers at the university of chicago, about 21 of married men stray. Compared with 10 to 15 of married women. Im giving you a hall pass. A what . Reporter the idea of a socalled hall pass has been fodder for countless movies and tv shows. How about we get married now, like right now, for a tenyear anniversary, you can have sex with someone else. What . Reporter and off screen, some celebs acknowledge their open approach. We were friends. And i guess you could say, practiced an open marriage in 1954. No one understood it. We did. Reporter experts warn open marriages, even for one agreed upon weekend, arent for everyone. It is a bell you cant unring. Once you do it, its done. If there are grave disagreements in a relationship, allowing somebody to have a free weekend of romance doesnt fix that problem. In my mind, it creates more problems. Both the doctor and suzy johnson say this probably only works in a small number of cases. To give you perspective on what suzy counsels her clients, she says, traditionally, she helps to counsel the wives to be okay with an open weekend for the husband. The men, interestingly enough, not so open to things working the other way around. Shocking not shocking. She also told us about a couple where the wife wanted another child. The husband was like, not so much. But wait, i get a hall pass . They now have another child. Whoa doesnt sound healthy. No. Its not going to work in my house. Ill tell you that. Negotiate terms with your spouse. Wow. The hall pass is a fun parlor game. In practice, not so good. Exactly. Dont try this story at home. Coming up, Jason Bateman stops by studio 1a.

Jason bateman pulled double duty in the family fang. He directed it and stars alongside Nicole Kidman, siblings who struggle with a strange family dynamic. Take a look. If youre in control, the chaos will happen around you. And not to you. Do you understand . Okay. Im ready. Oh Jason Bateman, good morning. Good morning. We were just discussing how i screened the film and you were disappointed i watched it on a small screen. You have to watch a lot of stuff. I was saying it was a directory kind of i know. Reaction. Slightly doochy. I apologize. Your art should be on a big screen. I wont say art. Ill just complain about the box. This is the second movie youve directed, right . Yeah. You were here with bad words before. It seems youve caught the directing bug. You soak up something after, you know, acting for so many years. Then, you know, you want the privilege to be able to kind of try your hand at what you think youve soaked up. Its a lot of fun. Its a fun movie. Its very quirky. I mean, its comedy but also some drama. Set out the scene. Its an unusual premise. Well, its simplistic in the sense that, you know, every kid has a parent. At some point, you become smart enough and old enough to be able to kind of see through the disguise that all of our parents wear. You start to see kind of that theyre just as flawed as you are. That moment over a few years can be comedic and heartbreaking. Its kind of what the film has. Its a little of both. It was fun to try to navigate that. Its interesting how its set up. In this story, you and Nicole Kidman are siblings. Your parents were performance artists who subjected you as little children to being in their performance art. Right. I dont want to overstate the parallels, but you also were brought up as a child actor. Did you draw on any of that . There are some parallels. Ours was not as interesting to warc warrant a movie written about it. Yeah, you know, our experience, we didnt end up going missing. Doesnt have the mystery this film does. As i mentioned at the top, you star in this and youre the director. Youre directing none other than Nicole Kidman and christopher walken. Whats that like . Mr. Walken, i have a few notes for you. Itd be the opposite because they dont need help from an idiot like me. They know exactly what theyre doing. I could focus on other things. Theyre incredible in the film. Im always impressed when someone directs a film and stars in it. I always have this image of someone, you know, setting up a camera on a timer and running out in front of it, trying to get the shot. Is it a little like that . You would make a terrible director. Thank you. Thats true. No. Its ive got this mirror i carry around, and i can act into it. Then i note myself. No, thats not true either. Okay. Its also somewhat more simplicity. That actor, me, is kindov of reading my mind, for better or worse. The movie has flashbacks. I was looking for an excuse to show this picture, 35 years ago, Jason Bateman in on the today show . Little house on the prairie. I think i may have done a today show segment for that. I wish i had known that. Note to self, cue that up. Michael landon was a cool guy. Arrested development. People will be out here with pitch forks if i dont ask you if there is going to be more arrested development. I havent been told there is, but i know there is a willingness. Im sure the adults need to figure it all out. Then us kids will show up. Lightning round. A game i play with my favorite guests called either or. Acting or directing .

Reporter the task was daunting. The ragnar relay in southern california. Nearly 200 miles of running through hills, flats, neighborhoods and stunning coastli coastline.

Six strangers who came together to raise awareness for a cause very close to them. Living organ donation. Three, two, one reporter race day, i was there to help kick it off along with randy, but id only do the first leg. They went the distance. Look at this. You are living life. You are living strong, my friend. So good to be alive. And to be able to do this. I got a message from the hospital saying, you have kidney failure and you need to report to the er right away. Right away. So, you know, my life just crumbled at that point. Reporter randy received a lifesaving kidney from his brother. This is my buddy. We did it. First leg. Yeah. Did great.

This morning on todays take, julia lou Louis Dreyfus behind the scenes of veep. Ellie kemper will talk about season two of her hit show and how shes expecting. Dr. Jill biden, how shes inspiring our military families. All that and more coming up now. Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1 a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a friday morning. April 15th, 2016. Its a great crowd on the plaza. Weve been out with them earlier. Boisterous crowd, the way we like it. You hear april 15th and think tax day. Its not until monday this year. April 18th. Right before the weekend . Its emancipation day in d. C. Their theyre observing today so federal workers have the day off. Three more days to work on the taxes. Good or bad, on the weekend. Get them out. You want to watch sunday today with willie geist. Youre good, al roker. How many plugs will you give the guy. Good friend right there. I like your song, by the way. Can you hear it . Friday im in love its a great song. Reminds me of college. The cure, big band. Today, we have you with dr. Jill biden. Yes. Julia louisdreyfus and ellie kemper on the show. Murderers row of guests. Incredible. This story, i dont know how youre feel about it. When i was watching this in my dressing room this morning, i was just appalled. Crying. Upset as a mom. This is video of a child being disciplined in georgia. 5 years old, a little boy. He was being hit with a paddle by School Officials. Its gone viral because the mom posted it on her facebook page. She recorded it on her phone because she said she had to consent to it. She thought she was going to have to go to jail. Apparently, there is a truancy issue that she had been sent to jail for before. She thought if she her son had been out for 18 days. She felt if she didnt consent, then shed have to go to jail once again. Her son would be expelled from school. She sat there and recorded the video. Its been reviewed by, i believe, 1. 9 Million People when i checked it out this morning. It is hard to watch. This goes on for quite a while. The child is crying. Youll see it now. Im only going to do it one time, unless you wiggle around. Okay . One time. No were going to do it. Mommy, help me its so hard to watch. That goes on and on. Now, the use of Corporal Punishment by School Officials, it is legal in georgia. And 18 other states. They say about 50 of the districts have used Corporal Punishment. Gabe gutierrez reported on this earlier and said 11,000 times last year, they applied corporate punishment in schools in georgia. The boys mother, shania perez, says she was pretending to text so she could record it. She wanted people to see it. Thats when she uploaded it on her facebook page. She does admit that her son almost hit another student, ran away and spit on a school official. Heres what she says about his punishment. It was emotionally devastating. I dont know how else to describe it. I feel like this is going to ruin his last few weeks of school. He hates school now. Does not even want to go. According to Jasper County schools student and parent handbook, corporate punishment is allowed for cases including spitting. The district cannot comment because the incident apparently is being looked at now by officials. They say Corporal Punishment only used with parental consent. The district is investigating and looking into the discipline policies. It seems like even if the child is, i dont know if they label them a problem child, but if there are issues, we dont know what was going on. The mother said he had been sick and thats why he was out 18 days. It seemed like this is a child that needs to be loved and cared for. In this case, rather than paddle them, embrace them and teach them the right way. Whats the lesson that kid is learning there . School is associated with pain. Right. I think i understand the mother was filming it so she could get the word out, but she has more restraint than i would, watching someone hit my kid. Expel us . I dont care. Im taking him out of this school anyway. On a 5yearold . It made my blood boil, watching that. I was crying in my dressing room watching it. The video is just a small portion of it. The child is screaming. There is nothing there is nothing that makes me more angry than to see that. I agree. Horrific. Other news, i had a great opportunity last week and this week. I traveled with the Vice President s wife, dr. Jill biden, and was able to sit down with her. She has a Big Initiative aimed at really supplying support to our military families. All over the world. We also have a had to talk politics, of course. Talked about her husbands decision, of course, not to run for president , because the timing wasnt right. Your husband also said he regrets not running. Uhhuh. Every day, for the most part. Is that something that you think about, as well, what it could have been like, had timing been a little bit different . Well, you know, i say every day, i mean, joe i really do feel that joe would have made a great president. I think he has the character. I think that hes a convener. I think one of his strengths is compromise. So i feel, you know, maybe america missed an opportunity. I dont know. It just wasnt the right time. I asked her, we could use a compromiser in chief right now. She said, yes, i think so. Interesting because she told me they do watch the debates. She said, you know, its sometimes hard to hear what, as she said, the other side has to say about certain issues. Watching the debate last night, even democratic debate, you wonder what the tone would have been like. You can hear the way she talks, the way Vice President biden talked. In their hearts, they know hed be a good candidate, but it wasnt the right time with the death of their son beau. Well have the full story coming up in a little bit. Incredible visit. Great to meet the military families. We have eluded to it. You may have noticed, were very excited for our good friend willie geist. This sunday marks the beginning of a new era.

Along with the first Lady Michelle obama, dr. Biden helped launch a rally around our military families. I got the unique opportunity to tag along with dr. Biden to a trip that was personal for both of us. Hi, dad. Thank you for serving our country. I miss yaou and i cant wait until you get home. I miss how we wrestle and play video games together. Just want to say i miss you. Please be safe. Reporter these are the faces of our military families. The children of the men and women who defend our country. Its a tight knit group, one i was lucky enough to be a part of, growing up with a father in the air force. And its a cause thats close to dr. Jill biden, too. Her father served in world war ii, and her son beau was Army National guard and deployed to iraq for a year. He left one month before we were elected. We were out campaigning, and we were seeing his unit off. It was a tough year. It was a tough year for the biden family. It was a tough year for his children. Thank you so much for inviting us along. Reporter dr. Biden invited me on a trip to fort riley, kansas. Army base home to the first infantry division. Nearly 8,000 children. In the heart of the country, the families here are the backbone of the military. Repeatedly called to deploy to places like iraq, afghanistan and kuwait. This is his seventh time deploying, so ive had some experience with him leaving. Definitely sometimes, you really miss him a lot. Reporter laurens dad is currently serving overseas, as her mom battles lupus, for which shes on chemotherapy. Hes concerned but knows me and my mom can get through this. We have each others backs. Makes me really happy, knowing that just him simply being here makes a difference for our future. Reporter being a military kid also means moving often. Alabama. Then out here. Especially at this age, when youre into clubs and into sports, its got to be difficult, to think about moving to another place. You know, its got to be challenging for all of you. Reporter by middle school, most of the children have moved, on average, six to nine times. Teachers care about me. Reporter dr. Biden spent time in the kids schools and their home, having dinner with 150 women whose husbands are currently deployed. Rebecca ford is raising three boys under 5, almost all on her own. One of my children, doesnt know who his dad is. Middle child doesnt understand and sleeps with me every night because hes concerned im going to up and leave. Reporter back in washington, dr. Biden is focused on her initiative, educate the educators. They are my everyday heros. Teachers and colleges have stepped up to educate people going into education, so they will realize that there are military children in their classrooms. And to celebrate those children. Make their transitions easier for them. As an educator, you have to be very proud. I am. As a military mom, two of your passions, perfectly in sync. Ive seen it with my grandchildren. In my granddaughter natalies school, her teacher put a picture of beaus unit outside the classroom door. Every time the class walked into the classroom, they saw that natalies daddy was at war. Reporter with so much she wants to accomplish in office, dr. Biden says she does have some regrets, as their time at the white house draws to a close. I really do feel that joe would have made a great president. One of his strengths is compromise. Maybe america missed an opportunity. I dont know. It just wasnt the right time. Need somebody who maybe is a compromiser in chief at this point in our life. Yes. Speaking of the political campaign, your president , Vice President , said this week hed like to see a woman as president. What about you . You know, i feel the same way as joe feels. Of course, id like to see a woman as president. Id like to see more women in the senate. As governors, in house. You know, in all fields. Have you ever thought about a future in politics . Never. No . Youre happen. Al asked mrs. Obama this question and ill pose it to you, as well. What will you be doing january 21st, 2017 . Of course, the day after the inauguration. I will be putting on my sneaks and going for a run alone. I like that. What do you want your legacy to be . I think its a legacy is for someone else to determine, what your legacy would be. I knew i couldnt come to washington and just do joe live joes life, politics. I knew i had to keep teaching. Its my lifes work and what im most proud of. To be an independent woman, i guess. Bringing it back to the amazing families we met at fort riley, what is it you want us to remember about them . They are resilient. We cannot forget them. We have to keep working to keep the military a part of our culture. They are sacrificing for us, and we really have to celebrate who they are.

Is it hard to top whats actually happening in our real life, political environment . Obviously, veep was meant to be a comedy satire. Although, some of the things these republican nominees are saying right now, if we incorporated those lines into our show, i think hbo would send us notes back saying, too outrageous.

Bring me a higher love i could rise above this morning on today food, wrapping up a week of recreating restaurant recipes at home. I love the waffle house and i got a version of their patty melt. I did this at the south beach wine and Food Festival this year. Finished in the top ten. Big hit. You have your onions, mayo, vineg vinegar, beef, cheese. I like a marble rye. Sriracha and ketchup. First of all, i like caramelized onions. Cant go wrong with caramelized onions. You have a pull a bunch of sliced onions into a pan with olive oil and cook it up. I like mine browner than most people. You keep sauteing. While thats sauteing, youre going to make you, if you like a russian dressing, buy it. Its not that hard to make. Easy to make, right . Ketchup, mayo, relish. I kick it up a bit, so i put it in, like my pal emeril would say, sriracha. Whisk it up. Patty melt, one of the most important parts is the patty. I like brisket. Beef brisket. Now, heres what to save yourself money, buy a whole brisket. Ask your butcher to grind it. Then you put it in an oval shape. Youre going to cook it on a cast iron skillet or grill. To be perfectly honest, this is the best way to cook a burger. Not so much on your barbecue grill, but here. It dries out. Yeah. This is how you get the sear, high heat. Bring it over here. Take your nice little patty. Youre going to want to butter that up. Not yet. Okay. First, take a little oh, down girl. Take some of your russian dressing. Take some of your onion. Put it over here. Spread that out. Those look delicious. Then youre going to take your patty, put it there. Mix up cheese. I like american. Some people like to put in cheddar or swiss. Now, the butter. Take your butter. Smear that. Nice. Put it on to the grill. A lot of butter. Come on, really . Really . Thats what youre going to notice. A lot of butter . Dont worry about the butter.
