Situation even worse. And no apology. I have jokes. He has the launch codes. So a fair fight. Reporter steven come bert dresses his rant about the president expressing only minimal regrets. I would change a few that were cruder than they needed to be. Will that be enough to satisfy his critics. Today, thursday, may 4th, 2017. Good morning. Welcome to today. Its a thursday morning. We have matt on assignment. Craig is here. Happy for Prince Phillip. He deserves to retire. Who was hoping that announcement was going to be a wedding announcement . A lot of folks were harry. Well have to wait for that announcement. Well have more on what the news is about, but lets start with the somehowdown on capitol hill. A vote happening today on the republicans long promised health care overhaul. This is less than two months after similar bill was scrapped over fears it wouldnt pass. Now the House Majority leader says things are different. They have the votes. We have in depth coverage this morning. Well start with Kristen Welker. Reporter good morning. That vote could come in just a few hours. The dramatic developments following a series of false starts after President Trumps initial push for Health Care Reform failed. Gop leaders insisting they have the votes. The white house more measured calling this a positive development. After a period of flatline, the republican push to repeal and replace obamacare suddenly has a pulse. Tomorrow we begin the end of obamacare once and for all. Find votes, theyll vote. Do they have enough to get it past . The breakthrough coming after key Republican Leaders met with President Trump at the white House Wednesday to push a new compromise amendment. The deal would provide 8 billion over five years to reduce payments for living with preexisting conditions resolving concerns the initial bill didnt sufficiently cover that bill. Something the president has promised. Preexisting conditions are in the bill, and i mandate it. Reporter but there is still fierce opposition. Two powerful groups the american medical association, and aarp, saying the fix could increase prices. Democratic House Minority leader nancy pelosi taking aim overnight. Trump care would raise your health cos, coverage of millions of americans and undermine a womans right to choose. Reporter still, these could be steps toward a legislative victory for President Trump who made overhauling health care a key promise. We have to repeal and replace obamacare. Reporter mr. Trump had an embarrassing defeat in march when the initial effort failed. This morning his fight appears to have new life. The bill hasnt been reviewed publicly. The its not clear how much it will cost. Even if it passes the cost, there will be opposition in the senate. Later today President Trump will sign a controversial executive order aimed at easing restrictions on political activity by churches and charities. That move is being cheered by conservatives but opponents warn it could lead to discrimination. Kristen welker at the white house. Lets turn to Nicole Wallace. Here we go again. Everything is on the line for republicans. They campaigned on thi and replace for seven years now. And they really obviously feel like the political idea is we have to try. Thats the politics. But to pick off where the story left off. The final breath of life came from putting 8 billion on the table for preexisting conditions. The good news is this shifted the goal post on covering preexisting conditions. Thats where the Grass Roots Energy was. People were showing up telling terrifying stories about family members. You had jimmy kimmel talking about his son. That obviously had an affect on the politics. The politics are now do or do for republicans. The nonpartisan cbo hasnt scored this legislation. We dont know how many people will lose or gain coverage and we dont know how much its going to cost. One sixth of the american economy. Whats the thinking in not waiting until the cbo can score this . Its not very good i dont think we should skip over the fact that last time the democrats paid a political price because i think it was nancy pelosi that said well read it after we pass it. Republicans are taking the same foolish rush to pass something not everybody has read. And remember the civics. There are two branches of congress who would like to weigh in. The house could pass it but the senate is another calculation. And thats exactly where your point comes in. The shortsightedness of going for the political, spiking the ball in the end zone, of trying to get the votes today in the house, could really sort of bite them in the end when this goes to the senate and theyre the more deliberate body and they take a harder look and obviously the cbo will have scored it. If they find holes in the policy, it could blow up in their face. You say they have the votes . They say they have the v. If they do, were analyzing a political victory because on the stance, they could get tripped up in the senate. The Health Care Vote is not the only thing to watch for on the hill. James comey will be back in the hot seat a day after telling lawmakers he stands by his decision to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clintons emails days before the election. Peter alexander has more on that. Peter, good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Hes welcome a lightning rod for criticism after the role he played in last years election. This morning james comey is speaking out for the first time in terms weve never heard him before. Publicly explaining his decision in last falls october email surprise. Everybody who disagrees with me has to come back to october 2nd with me and stare. Reporter distress but no regrets. It makes me mildly nauseous to think we may have had impact on the election, but it wouldnt change the decision. Reporter james comey defending his decision revealing the fbis discovery of a new batch of Hillary Clinton emails. Potentially relevant to a case that was effectively closed. I stared at speak and conceal. Speak would be really back. Theres an election in 11 days. That would be really bad. Concealing in my view would be catastrophic. Reporter his candid comments hours after clinton blamed comeys in move in part for costing her the presidency. But i was on the way to winning until a combination of jim comeys letter and russian wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were voting for me but not scared off. President trump tweeting comey was the best thing that ever happened to clinton, giving her a free passor deeds. Also revealed the details of that october email surprise. A total of 40,000 Clinton Emails forwarded by her aide to her husband Anthony Weiners laptop so they could be printed for the secretary of state. No one has been charged. Asked why it was appropriate to comment on the clinton case but not the russia investigation including possible ties to the trump campaign, comeys answer . I think i treated both investigations consistency under the same principal. Reporter he declined to answer whether the white house is cooperating with its russia investigation. And on the topic of kwewikileak he blasted it as intention porn suggesting the u. S. Government is preparing to file criminal charges against the founder of wikileaks. One other note, susan rice requested to come and the testify before congress but shes declining. Whats that all about . Reporter thats exactly what President Trump is tweeting about. Well put the tweets on the screen. He wrote susan rice is refusing to testify before a Senate Sub Committee next week on allegations of unmasking trump transition officials. Not good. Unmasking, to be clear, is the requesting of the identities of names and classified documents. Susan rice has repeatedly said she did nothing wrong or improper. This request and weve obtained the letter from her attorney, the request they say she declined because it came only from the Top Republican on that Senate Sub Committee, lindsey graham. Democrats had not joined in. They didnt want it to be a distraction from over witnesses next week, including the acting attorney general. Rice is willing to testify to help in congresss russia investigation at the appropriate time in a classified hearing. We peter, thank you.

They think its going to be the worst tick season ever. For most people ticks are about eight out of ten on the gross scale. You try to stay cool and take it off. This year its worse for a new reason. Last year the explosion of the white footed deer population. The ticks are moving west, and were starting to get into their areas, and there have been warmer winters and summers so theyre living longer.

The kind that you find on dogs is different than the kind you might find on deer or in the woods. What do you recommend . The big thing is the deer tick is the smaller of the tick. Dogs get that as well and they can get lime disease. The dog tick is the one they used to get. The deer tick is moving into our areas.

If you find one, how do you remove it . People have all sorts of theories. They burn it with a match, put oil on it. Dont that. Youll make the ticknor vous. You want to get tweezers. Get as close to the skin as possible. Grab the head, not the back part. This is a little much. And pull back as gently and if i we firmly as possible. Put soap and water. Put it in alcohol.

People think of here is the stuff of which fairy tales are made. I take thee Charles Philip george. Reporter july 1981, it was called the wedding of the century. A royal wave from Buckingham Palace balcony. Back then few knew their secret. This was no fairy tale marriage. These pictures are among the first of them together, apparently in love. A bit in love. Reporter at first they appeared happy. Dancing on a tour of australia. Children followed. William then harry, but within five years, the cracks appeared.

Reporter there were rumors of other lovers, an art dealer, a rugby player. Has been called the love of her life by friends. The relationship was conducted in secret and ended in 1997. The relationship fell apart in the end because as much as diana wanted a normal life of somebody who wasnt a royal, the fame that she had achieved at that point in her life made that impossible. Reporter at the end, diana was seeing the son of a loaner who claimed she planned to marry again. We may never know the truth. The couple made trips this summer.

They talked about why they originally thought the movie would be a flop and whether the sequel is better than the original. This morning they reveal the iconic scene that almost happened and their favorite line. Whens the last time you all got together to talk about this movie . 45 years . I dont know. Never . Really . I dont think so. The reunion was worth the wait. Pa chi they all share stories from the movie franchise consistently ranked among the best of all time. Godfather. True or false, at one point you were cast as michael . Never. Listen we did a test. He had us cast in about four days. Bob tested for michael. Everybody. I remember that day. They really wanted redford. Every single actor that ever lived was sitting on 57th street. And you get the role. Thats because the director wanted me. Thats who he saw. He had a picture. He wanted michael to be have a sillian. Once shooting started, james wasnt sure of his performance. The first scene i was to awful. I didnt have a grip on anything. I went hole and was shaving. I thought of don rickles. Dont ask me why. I came in the next day, i messed up everybodys job. It was don rickles. Connie was the female in the extraordinary family. I thought she was incredibly loved and not respected. She was a victimized woman. That a talk about the transformation of michael from clean cut war hero to ruthless member of the family. By the way, i read one time that you dont consider him a gangster. I dont think that michael ever considered himself a gangster in the more traditional sense. I think he was sort of part of the circumstances that took place. Im with you now. Im with you. The near death of his father, being handed the mantle. All these things perpetuated michael. I never wanted this for you. I remember in the dressing room going to marlin after reading the scene. He looked at me and said its pretty good, huh . Yeah. Seems good. And that was it. Thats the rehearsal. Brando could be imposing, but they found a unique way the ice. The first day we met him, he made he moon brando on the way home from lunch from a car on Second Avenue. You pulled your pants down on Second Avenue . In a car. Bobby is famous for that. That became the thing around the set. A lot of that. It was in fashion at that time. But kahne says he nearly chickened out of shooting one of the most memorable scenes. Take me through briefly the shooting of the scene at the toll booth. Spoiler alert for people who dont know. It didnt end well for sonny. Well, if there werent girls there, i would have never done it. But there were girls there, so i couldnt back down like the coward i am. There were girls there . I didnt see that coming. I stood there like a moron. The part two arrived nearly ee marking the first of three movies. Al taught me things that he started, procedures, like i always like to have a reading of a script that im going to do or consider. And he started that with me. He said a brilliant thing to me early on. He said if people dont know how to rehearse, dont rehearse. Sometimes its more helpful for a movie if you dont rehearse. Favorite line in the movie in the god fafather. Help me out. Keep your enemies closer . Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Al . Could you go to bob . The famous im going to make you an offer you cant refuse. How about fredda, you broke my heart. You broke my heart. You broke my thank you. Happy 45th anniversary. Thank you. So a cool. So fun to see them. I wonder if there was a line after that. I bet there was. There are guys who do nothing but quote from the god father. Al roker. You can see all of matts conversation on today. Com. In honor of the 45th anniversary, they are releasing the entire trilogy. You are welcome, on blue ray, dvd. Also were going to bring mooning back. Coming up next, does your smart phone make you more likely to get a sunburn . This is today on nbc. This su. But first, this is toda powell. Chuck powell. Skin cancer is if most common type of cancer in the u. S. Develop it in their life. Since may is skin Cancer Awareness month. Wed like to talk about the five ways youre making yourself more susceptible to sunburn. We have someone here to help us protect ourselves from the harmful uv rays. Lets start with the sleeves. These sleeves will show you the progression of malignant mel mona. You can see it can occur in a mole that exists or one that is new. Theres a slow progression from the a, b, c, d ease of melanoma. Look for asymmetry. This one is not symmetrical, and the border is irregular. And the color. Theres multiple color. You can see theres a little bit of brown. A healthy mole is usually one color. Its bigger than the size of a pencil eraser. If your mole is getting bigger than that, thats a problem. Thats the and finally e refers to evolving. You can see on the other side of the sleeve this that this mole which was perhaps benign at the bottom is starting to change as you move up her arm, and eventually turning into a many l malignant melanoma. There are some things that increase your chance of sunburn. One sunburn can increase the risk of cancer. Nobody is going to take a reflector out and try to get burned. Did you know that an ipad and even an iphone can increase the reflection, indirect sunlight to your skin. An 85 increase in indirect sun expoture exposure by using your ipad. The there are warnings on prescriptions, but you say even over the counter doesnt mean its safe. Things as simple as aleve, advil, things we use in the summer because youre feeling allergies, they can increase the risk for sub bunburn. Be careful to check the label and be sure its not causing you to become sensitive. If you had to take it, do you triple the sunscreen . More sunscreen. More protection. Reapplication. Even some foods and drinks . Yes. These foods in particular, are probably the worst culprit when it comes to the sun, and lemons and limes have been shown to cause a photo toxic reaction. We have patients come in with unusual sunburns while theyre drinking a margarita, they spill lemon or lime on their skin. It interacts with the sun and causes a localized burn that can leave a scar. We used to put lemon in our hair to be blonder. You can thats a hidden place skin cancer occurs. Drinking it is perfectly fine. It doesnt increase. Although celery can increase the risk for sunburns if you eat too much. Perfumes . Colognes . Scents have musk, lavender, they contain lemon and lime scented products. They work similar to the food. They increase the risk of burning. Dont put them on if youre going outside or going for a run. Not a good idea during the day when youre in the sun. We had the tick segment. Im putting on repellant, but thats a concern . The concern is the layering of sunscreen and bug spray together. It decreases the effectiveness of your sunscreen. You want to reapply your sunscreen and bug spray so it works efficiently. If you put it on and it doesnt work, your skin will be at higher risk. Doctor, thank you. Coming up, mothers day gifts with a personalized touch. First, this is today on nbc. But first, this is today on nbc. My name is jenny doan im a quilter and im a mother and im a grandmother. 2008 was when all the markets crashed, we lost our retirement. Hamilton was losing hope and my husband and i were losing hope. My sister and i we challenged ourselves to help figure out a way to help them. Our kids bought us a quilt machine. It was very humble beginnings. We were just this cute little shop, just like everybody else. One day al came in and asked me if i wanted to do tutorials and i was like sure honey whats a tutorial . I had not a clue. Hi everybody im jenny from the missouri star quilt company. Youtube gave us the opportunity to really differentiate, we got to a 1,000 subscribers year one and now were at 300,000 subscribers. We started carrying all the fabrics that mom would use in the tutorials. Now were the Worlds Largest provider of precut quilting fabric. In the beginning we were just shipping 10 orders a day. Opening a business in hamilton kinda sparked things. Weve got 14 quilt shops in town, three restaurants, a little hotel, we had over 100,000 people come to hamilton last year. We love jenny. My whole life ive always wanted to own a business. None of that would have been possible without missouri star quilt company. All i have to do is open my door and bake my goods and missouri star does the rest. Youtube has enabled my family and i to bring hope to the town and to the people who live here. We are back with a friendly reminder. Mothers day ten days away. If youve not bought a gift, we have great personalized idea. We have the style director at good housekeeping. She has great gifts you can get before mothers day. This whole idea is about keepsakes and personalized gifts. The its not just about the photo in the frame. Were going to talk about some different ideas. These are hand painted silhouettes from a studio. Whats neat about this if im sure you have a ton of pictures of the babies and kids but probably youre not in them. Thats what happens when youre a mom. We instagram stalked we took pictures of charlie and vail and haley joy. They hand painted these. These are 100 to get framed. Theyre done in new york. You get a custom silhouette. It can be done by mothers day . Order today. They look oddly similar. They do. Were working with some instagram photos. Moving on, we like practicality with our gifts as well.

You can upload the pictures. You can move them around. You can use kid art. These are drawings the kids did and pictures. And say we know you wanted to do that project. If you dont like how we did it, mix it around. It gets dull in a room,ou can change it. If youre indecisive like me, its perfect. The evolution of the photo screen. These are glass and these are metal. When the light hits them, they are extra beautiful. It highlights it.

Its our first. Remember the feeling of the first baby . Is it the best . Its the best. Its wild. I thought i knew everything about pregnancy because my sister has two kids, and now im like i have no idea whats happening to my body. Its funny, the last time we talked you were pregnant but we couldnt the tell. Now, you want that, and then you get it, and youre like oh, man, what was i wishing . Im so out of breath all the time.

She was just nominated for a fourth tony this week for our role in the the little foxes. Shes. Shes now starring opposite richard i laura linney, good morning. Good morning. How would you describe the dinner to someone in a psychological thriller . When i watched it, sometimes i read background info, this time i didnt. I was like what whats happening . What is going to happen . Well, in a nutshell, my character is married to steve who is brothers with richard gere who is married to rebecca hall. T the brothers and wives meet for dinner because there has been a traumatic crisis involving their children. Your children did something horrible. They need to figure out how to handle it. There are varying degrees of desires and sort of fierce opinions about what should be done. When i was reading this, im a mom, and watching it, but it was based on a book. Its based on a novel. Kept thinking which camp would i be in . You cant believe it because it was horrific. I would love to say that i would know how i would behave. Id like to think i would behave, and i think this goes do a lot of behavior that we like to think of ourselves as being a certain type of person, but in the heat of moment, you dont know. You dont know. Ive been pickpocketed a few times in new york, and abroad, actually. And i scare myself with my own reaction about how defensive and how potentially violent i can become. If someone grabbed me at one point, and i yelled and screamed and almost you know . I almost punched this person. It scared me so much, because i didnt read that that was in me. Or that i would instinctively in a primal way respond that way. I think in certain situations, i would love to say i know how i would behave, but i think its dangerous, and theres a little hubris in thinking your character is better than you think. Before you leave, talk to us about your broadway show. I saw it, and you and Cynthia Nixon are amazing. And congratulations. There was one part where there was a third second bit. Youre laughing and crying. Were hanging on your every word. There was so many emotions. Its a wonderful play that hasnt been done for a long time with a remarkable company. And Cynthia Nixon and i switch off every two days with characters. How do you memorize both characters . The it was an idea that came to me. I had been cast as regina and remembered cynthia always wanted to play her, and i always wanted to play birdie. Men do it all the time, but its the first time women have done that we can do anything.
