Take you live to an nbc exclusive. The plane that came dangerously close to sliding into the ocean. Well explain what happened here. And later a sunday sitdown with oscar nominee touragep. Henson. She starred in empire where she plays the notorious cookie lyons. You have this tick when people call me cookie and im not at work, the fans. I know, i understand. I get it, but it does something to me. Cookie im like, eh. Thats not my name. A sunday sitdown later in the show. Lets begin with the terrifying 38 minutes in hawaii on saturday when people there were warped falsely that a Ballistic Missile attack was underway. Nbcs Jacob Soberoff is in honolulu for us. Good morning. What happened here . Reporter yesterday cell phone signals were overloaded as others called their loved ones to say goodbye. It was a chaotic and confusing scene in a place known for its tranquility. Just after 8 00 a. M. In hawaii, pandemonium in paradise. Hysteria triggered by a false alarm. The terrifying message screamed across cell phones. Ballistic missile threat in bound be to hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill. The u. S. Pacific command has detected a missile threat to hawaii. People started to run. The hotel staff came and told my parents, seek shelter. You only have 12 minutes. Reporter the mistake was part of an Early Warning system put into place amid rising tensions between President Trump and north Korean Leader kim jongun. Less than 24 hours before the false alarm we were given an exclusive look at the room. If a Nuclear Missile is launch launched, this is where youll know . Theyll receive a message and theyll activate the statewide system. Wheres the phone . Right here behind us. Reporter saturday morning that phone never rang and there never was a call. The alert went out. It took 38 minutes for a correction to be tweeted out. The governor took the responsibility. Today is the day that most of us will never forget and many in our community was deeply affected by this. And im sorry. Reporter apology from officials here from a system designed to save lives instead turning them upside down. Willie, in the wake of this false alarm that happened during a shift change in a routine test, the governor announced he is suspending the missile Early Warning tests until further notice and from this point forward there will be two people at all times responsible for sending out the alerts like the ones that terrified so many. Seems like a good idea. Taking us inside the room where it all happened. Thank you so much. Jeremy bash is an nbc news analyst and former chief of staff at the cia and pentagon for president obama. I guess the question is, what exactly happened here . The ex34planation is somebody pushed the wrong button on a shift change . If this did happen, had this been real, there are reports from inside the airport in honolulu that the passengers were getting the notifications on their phones but no one in the airport, tsa, security, otherwise knew what was going on. It shouldnt be that easy, willie. From my perspective, you should have to hold down a button for three seconds or more before any alert goes out. I think a twoperson rule is critically important. If a missile were launched, our military satellites would detect it and it would be word would get out from the u. S. Military directly to the secretary of defense because the secretary of defense would have to decide within about five to ten minutes to launch our National Missile defense to intercept the in bound missiles. Of course, the president would have to be advised as to wlorptd he wanted to weigh any retaliation. This statewide Emergency Management system is not the system our military would use to knock down incoming missiles or retaliate. As you watched this, jeremy, did you think to yourself, boy, this could lead to a real life worst Case Scenario if a false alert was going and we know what russias been capable of in terms of hacking into our election system and so on, if somebody got in with a bad idea and wanted to hack and give an alert, could this lead to something worse . Its very distressing because with the United States and north korea effectively on hair trigger alert over these tensions, a miscalculation, a human error could lead to accidental war. Its very concerning if our military had the same problem or if, worse, on the other side in pyongyang and the northern regime they mistakenly thought we were attacking them, they could do something very pre1i7 to uw us precipitous. During the basketball game during residents of hawaii saw a notice to seek shelter. Thank god it wasnt true. Jeremy bash, thank you so much. So far President Trump has remained silent about the scare in hawaii. He tweeted about the stock market, Hillary Clintons emails and the newly released book about his white house. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is traveling with President Trump. Shes near his maralago estate. Whats been the reaction from the white house . Reporter to set the scene, willie, the president had already been at his golf resort for a few hours and he was back at maralago within 40 minutes. He was briefed by his chief of staff and National Security adviser, but he has not commented about it. Now the white house has pointed out this was a statecontrolled issue, but he has not discussed the fear that was generated or the context of National Security given this was a false warning about a Ballistic Missile attack. Just this morning he has already tweeted about being misquoted about his relationship with the north Korean Leader but nothing about what happened in hawaii. Kelly odonnell traveling with the president. Chuck todd is nbcs political director. Moderator of meet the press. Good to see you. Morning. Part of the reason there was such alarm on this, obviously on its face its scary for the people of hawaii but for the context which is the heightened rhetoric and escalations of tensions. President trump saying what he says about kim jongun and vice ver versa. I think the scare here is this is not such a farfetched thing that might happen. Reporter that is what made this so alarming, and certainly for the citizens of hawaii. Because you sit there as there have been concerns, i mean, you have done stories on a sunday morning about what happens if there is a misinterpretation of a tweet or a back and forth between kim jongun and the president and this president right now . And so all of a sudden it was that debates sitting out there and then heres an alert. So im certain so many residents, and were hearing stories of concern and fear and people taking this very seriously, its understandable why they should take it very seriously considering the atmosphere we live in. I think it 1er7b8 lcertainly on to the techs. The quote of the week as reported by the Washington Post that the president of the United States in a meeting about immigration and daca used the term shole countries. He of course used the full word. Does the white house appreciate why this was damaging not just to his reputation but to negotiations over the immigration, the impression of the United States around the world or do they say this is trump being trump. He talks like the guy at the end of the bar. Hes talking to the forgotten man, et cetera, et cetera . Does the white house feel this was a bad week for him . Reporter internally, yes, the white house knows this is a bad week, absolutely, but theyre trying to put the best face forward which is why you hear the spin you have. Look, i think the more damaging comment was not the vulgar comment, it was the sentiment behind it. The idea its the norway comment to me thats much more damaging long term because it reinforces the notion that this president does believe in playing favorites using race as a way to do it when it comes to immigration. White norwegians, more that hes more open to than black africans. That sentiment is what i think is going to cause all sorts of pain for the republican party. This is a party that before trump came out, before there was a donald trump, willie, this was a party desperately trying to run away from this stereotype, that somehow that the party is nothing more than a collection of nativists, that all share the president s sentiment on race. And heres now the president as leader of the party bringing this stereotype front and center. So i think it really is setting back the partys attempt at trying to broaden its appeal. By the way, the president denied on twitter this week using this language, but you have republicans and democrats alike in the meeting confirming he had used that term. Reporter right. By the way, they were talking about some pretty important legislation, chuck, with daca, legislation. Balancing daca, getting a border wall. Are they any closer . Is there going to be a deal on immigration . Reporter thats a great question. Im not as confident as i once was. I do think the president has essentially handed leverage to the democrats now. I think you have a bunch of Congressional Republicans realizing the president s comments have made the politics of this even more difficult for them. So i do think leverage is now in the hands of the democrats. The question is does congress do Congressional Republicans dump the president , cut a deal on their own and force the president to sign an agreement or do they still continue to try to work with the white house . Right now i think theyll continue to work with the white house, but i think if we have more negative reaction they may cut him out. Even the president himself sent mixed messages where he stands on daca. He sure did. Well look for more on meet the press when chuck is joined by senators rand paul and michael bennett. Meanwhile, its a race against time looking for survivors. Overnight the death toll rose to 19. People who were forced out to evacuation zones are finally being allowed to pick up vital supplies, but it may be months before they can move back in.

Our first high goes to a 6yearold texas boy named ryland ward. He was inside the First Baptist church on november 5th when a man opened fire and took the lives of 26 people including rylands two sisters and his stepmom. He was shot five times but survived. Firefighter rusty duncan was one of the first to arrive at the scene that day. A little hand grabbed my pant leg. I just saw his eyes looking up at me and i knew i had to get him out of there. Rusty visited ryland in the hospital several times and promised him a ride home in the truck when ryland was feeling better. This week after two months and multiple surgeries, that day came. Rusty picked up ryland who rode up front in the stockdale fire and rescue rig waiving out the window to adoring crowds as he passed with a huge smile on his face. It was amazing. They basically had a parade for him through town. He came through and waived to the crowds. Thats the way to do it. What he survived, a tough little kid. To go home like that. Hes going home.
