Thank you for joining us on this monday morning Kristen Welker is with me this morning and for the next few days. Great to be here. Savannah on a deserved break, and hoda on maternity break. This is your birthday. Sweet 21. Few years older than that. Cant imagine a better way to celebrate my birthday. We are happy to have you here we are going to get to our top story. Investigators trying to figure out what caused the plane crash in a dallas suburb that killed all ten people on board. Weve got the latest from the scene of the tragedy, as well as the investigation into what went wrong. We start at the scene with nbcs Gabe Gutierrez, near the crash site in addison, texas good morning. Reporter good morning. Behind me is the hangar the small plane crashed into you can see the melted siding from all the heat. Two pilots and eight passengers were killed. Now, ntsb investigators are sifting through the wreckage to try to find out what went wrong. This morning, tragedy in texas everybody just standby. We had an accident on the field. Expect not to go out any time soon. Reporter ntsb officials investigating what cause a crash that killed all ten on board. We want to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends who have lost loved ones in this crash reporter the identities of the two pilots and eight passengers not yet released. The plane crashed into a hangar at Addison Airport north of dallas, shortly after takeoff sunday morning Officials Say the plane was on its way to st. Petersburg, florida, according to flight plans. Weve noted the airplane was damaged by impact forces and a postimpact fire the plane crashed into the building. Reporter cell phone video shows smoke billowing from the hangar moments after the crash the plane was destroyed by the fire the hangar was not occupied at the time of the crash. Aftermath video shows the gaping hole in the roof of the building photos of the interior show wreckage, and another plane badly charred. My team is starting to gather information on scene as we speak. Reporter the ntsb says the investigation will focus on a variety of things, including the pilots experience, the condition of the aircraft, the weather, and the communications with the tower. This is the factgathering stage. I would suspect that within possibly two weeks, well have a preliminary report out, after weve gathered all the initial information. Reporter at this point, weather does not appear to be a factor it was mostly sunny, a few clouds, and calm winds at this point, the cause of this crash looks like a mystery gabe, thank you now, we want to turn to tom costello, who covers aviation for us youve covered a lot of accidents, but where will investigators start with this one . They have a lot of directions to go in, but theyll look at whether this plane suffered an engine failure with the remaining good engine pulling the plane into an uncontrollable roll also, what kind of fuel was loaded on this plane it uses jet engines to power the propellers, and it requires jet fuel theyll want to make sure the proper fuel was used and it wasnt contaminated fuel theyll look at the experience of the pilots. How much time did they have in that type of plane, and how qualified were they . Did they follow emergency procedures, especially if they did lose an engine what was the maintenance record of the plane was it well maintained and how recently wases i serviced . And the loading of the plane eight passengers with bags could have meant a lot of weight theyll be looking at whether that played a role also, we know this wasnt a commercial plane, obviously. Were there black boxes do they have black boxes on this one . It should have had a cvr, a cockpit voice recorder, but probably not a flight data recorder theyll listen to the cvr to see whether the pilots discussed any problem they were having theyll be listening closely to the sound signatures of the engines. Theyll probably be able to hear whether the propellers were running at the right rpm or maybe one of the engines was off. One of the engines had shut down, so the propellers were out of balance that should tell them a lot about what was happening. Youll continue to track it tom costello, thank you. Another major story this morning. New fallout from President Trumps meeting with kim jongun at the dmz on sunday, setting off a media frenzy, as mr. Trump became the first sitting u. S. President to cross into north korea. This morning, a new video from north korea celebrating that visit. We have it all covered, starting with nbcs chief White House Correspondent Hallie Jackson good morning. Reporter good morning to you. We are talking about this made for tv moment that delivered on the drama, but will it deliver on anything more substantive that is the question this morning, with Nuclear Talks set to pick back up, and critics concerned north korea is getting much more out of this meeting than the u. S new fallout today after that unprecedented and unexpected moment i never expected to meet you at this place. Reporter President Trump meeting kim jongun at the Demilitarized Zone between north and south korea. Youre the first u. S. President to cross. Reporter with that single step, making history, becoming the first u. S. President to ever enter north korea. Its just an honor to be with you, and it was an honor you asked me to step over that line. I was proud to step over the line reporter north korean state media this morning releasing their own version of that historic meeting, including music and slow motion video of President Trump crossing the border the images also splashed across north koreas newspapers the two leaders talking for nearly an hour in the surprise sunday summit, a kind of reset agreeing to restart Nuclear Talks that fell apart in vietnam earlier this year. The teams are going to start working, to see whether or not they can do something. Reporter while north korea has released detained americans and returned the remains of some u. S. Troops killed in the korean war, kim has done nothing to show hes serious about denuclearizing, even testing shortrange missiles this spring now critics worry President Trump is getting played by celebrating kims stature on the world stage and getting little in return. It is not fitting for the United States to continue meeting with an erratic dictator. Reporter the president inviting kim to meet him u. S. Officials unsure until the last minute if kim would accept. Once there, a chaotic crush. The new press secretary seeing body blocking a north korean official back off. Reporter telling American Media to go into the room. Now, whats next with the world watching, a fourth facetoface may happen at home. Did you extend the invitation for him to come to the United States, sir . I did actually, at some point, itll all happen reporter this morning, the administration is also pushing back on a New York Times report that officials have been considering for weeks the possibility of a socalled nuclear freeze, to stop pyongyang from making new weapons. National security adviser john bolton is tweeting this morning, hes never discussed or heard about the idea to settle for a nuclear freeze, calling it a reprehensible attempt by somebody to box in the president. Craig . Hallie jackson at the white house, thank you. For more on the president s meeting with kim jongun, lets bring in National Security analyst jeremy bash. Great to see you. Hey, guys. Lets start with these propaganda images and videos released by north korea. Sort of underscores the risk here, right . How big of a risk was this move for President Trump, and could it actually be dangerous, jeremy kristen, this is symbolism over substance i mean, north korea has nuclear fuel for about 50 Nuclear Bombs worth. They have an intercontinental ballistic missile. They test fired it two years ago, the week of july 4th. As time goes by, theyre increasing their program if theyre delivering us photo ops as opposed to dismantlement, i think it is potentially dangerous for the United States. Jeremy, you were at the cia and the pentagon during the obama years. President trump asserted over the weekend that president obama had been begging kim jongun for a meeting. Is that true i never heard that, craig i was at the pentagon when kim jongun came to power. I dont think thats accurate at all. In fact, in three summits, singapore, hanoi, and now the dmz, the president has put kim jongun on the world stage. Hes delivered a major propaganda victory. If its harmless, okay. It could be harmful if they dont deliver a result. Another fact check here. The president s own Intelligence Community has said kim jongun has no intention of giving up his Nuclear Weapons program. Why will this third meeting be any different . Could it make a difference, jeremy . I dont think it will, kristen, unless north korea gives us a full list of all their undisclosed sites. Thats the key. If we dont get a plan for dismantlement, all of these photo ops, all of this pageantry doesnt actual make us safer. What would the incentive be for kim jongun to do that . Well, hed ultimately want sanctions released. He wants his economy to improve, and he wants to be embraced by the world community. Of course, on the heels of the g20, the global gathering of all of the leaders of the major industrialized nation, hes there with a big story out of the weekend. Jeremy, the president s supporters will say, look, bottom line, it is better to talk, better to come to the table than to not try at all. Do they have a point there . Churchill said, jaw, jaw, not war, war. Diplomacy is always good. The North Koreans are developing capabilities, and were giving them the time to do so. Jeremy bash, thank you. Lets turn to a shakeup among the 2020 president ial candidates after last weeks debates with Kamala Harris rising in the polls after her attacks on former Vice President joe biden over race. Nbcs Andrea Mitchell is following the campaigns. Good morning. Reporter good morning, craig. Kamala harris is indeed moving up in one postdebate poll, while joe biden, still a front runner, is facing more criticism for his comments on race, as that issue is front and center in the campaign today. Including a retweet, since deleted, from donald trump jr. Kamala harris is building on her breakout debate performance, campaigning sunday in San Franciscos pride parade. The california senator is on the rise, after taking on former Vice President joe biden, over his past opposition to desegregate schools. Following his controversial comments about working with two segregationist Democratic Senators in the 1970s. That conversation was about, frankly, one, me sharing a personal experience, and hopefully explaining then why i felt the way i did about the comments about segregationists and about the issue of bussing in america and the history of that. Reporter a poll shows biden still leading the democratic field with 33 . Thats a fivepoint drop from the previous week. The same poll shows harris surging, now tied with Elizabeth Warren for third place at 12 . Up six points since the debate. Biden now facing even more criticism from his rivals after these comments about black teenagers friday. We have to recognize, we have that recognize to kid wearing a hoodie may not be a gang banger. As a young black guy in america who was followed and surveilled, this is just another example of just conversations that are lessons that biden shouldnt have to learn. Reporter rivals are leaping to her defense after donald trump jr. Tweeted and then deleted a tweet about her race. Mayor Pete Buttigieg tweet, it is long past time to end the birther style attacks. We have a president who is a racist and, apparently, based on a statement yesterday, his son is following in his footsteps. A spokesman for trump junior says he was asking about harris ethnicity and deleted the tweet when his intent was misconstrued. A Trump Campaign advisers and former spokeswoman was tweeting racial vibes at harris. Nbc news reached out. No one had any comment. Craig and kristen. Andrea mitchell in washington, thank you.

Im going to lift my leg up, if you want to pull the tape off. Reporter an experienced diver, he told his fishing buddies to quickly make tourniquets out of the weight belts.

So we know President Trump liked it he talked a great deal about it. Now, we know what the North Koreans thought about it the North Koreans just released on state television a Mini Documentary less than 24 hours after this meeting took place. Unlike a lot of north korean propaganda, which is very aggressive, very threatening toward the United States, this was absolutely gushing it talked about how this unexpected meeting transcended expectations, shocked and moved the world, how it was incredibly positive they had a moment they slowed down for effect when President Trump stepped over the demarcation line, entered north korea. They even showed a still photograph of kim jongun meeting with ivanka trump. They said it was as if a Mysterious Force was bringing these two nations and these two leaders together, and leading toward good will so the north korean reaction, incredibly positive, but critics say that President Trump was merely coddling a tyrant who has, so far, not taken any steps to actually reduce the number of Nuclear Weapons in his country kristen .

Us were back with todays talker this is all about taylor swift the pop star speaking out after a top manager bought the rights to her music, and she is not happy about it some celebrities are weighing in and taking sides nbcs kathy park is here with all the drama. Good morning. This is a messy one good morning like so many artists starting out, when taylor swift signed with her first record label, she signed away the rights to her music. The company and the catalog has sold for 300 million to someone swift claims once tried to dismantle her musical legacy baby, now we got bad blood reporter theres bad blood in the air between pop superstar taylor swift and Music Executive Scooter Braun, known for manager managing Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber. In a lengthy post on sunda swift is grossed out over brauns purchase of her first label, including hits like shake it off. The superstar called it the worst case scenario, claiming braun subjected her to incessant, manipulative bullying for years and by purchasing her music, he would be controlling a woman who didnt want to be associated with him. She accused him of harassing her through kanye west and Justin Bieber on social media. Following the feud with west over lyrics in famous. The pop star sharing this 2016 picture of bieber, west, and braun, writing, this is Scooter Braun bullying me on social media when i was at my lowest point. In response, bieber shared a lengthy response on instagram to support braun and apologize for his past actions neither scooter nor i have anything negative to say about you. We truly want the best for you brauns wife writing, my husband is anything but a bully. Swift, who signed to big machine at the age of 15, sold more than 40 million albums for the company. Last november, swift switched labels and signed with Universal Music Group in an effort to own her music moving forward she has often spoken up for the rights of songwriters, even taking tech giants like apple and spotify to task for what she claimed were unfair business terms. A hashtag, we stand with taylor, was trending on twitter by sunday evening, with artists like halsey sharing messages of solidarity ending her post with an eye to the future, swift plugs her upcoming seventh album, saying, i will always be proud of my past work, but for a healthier option, lover will be out august 23rd. We reached out to braun about swifts comments and havent heard back the record label owner said he never knew of issues between swift and braun. He notified swifts camp of the deal before it went public the pop star turned down the opportunity to stay with the label and gain control over her master recording wow all right yeah, a lot of bad blood. It is a fascinating one jenna joins the table as we discuss this shes not afraid to step up for herself. Thats for sure this is common practice in the record business. This is the model. This is how it works if youre an artist, youre signed, you get an advance and royalties in the future. You get wealthy. In exchange, you give up the rights to your masters this is normal practice. Two noteworthy things here, taylor doesnt like the person in Scooter Braun, who bought the masters. Thats one noteworthy thing. Scott borchetta probably should have said, i have your albums and i will give you the right of first refusal. And you can pay 301 million, itll be yours but there is a he did give her a heads up, right . He tried to tie it to, you stay with my album she left for universal if you stay with big machine, for every new album, ill give you the rights to one of your old ones she was tied to the deal she said, hey, i want to leave and take my masters with me. Would have been nice if she had the opportunity to buy it. Inside scoop. Fighting it out. Hell make a fortune. He has the first six albums from debut to reputation. Theyre the biggest albums in pop music. With streaming services, theyll monetize the you know what out of that. How about pop start. Lets do it im on a roll.

More than six decades ago, the Supreme Court voted unanimously that racial segregation in Public Schools was unconstitutional across the south, resistance was high, and progress slow. On the 65th anniversary of brown v board of education, we visited one city you may recognize where the power of a game was enough to change a community. Reporter it was a story so incredible, hollywood took notice i dont care if you like each other or not you will respect each other. Reporter the 2000 disney film remember the titans, starring denzel washington, told the tale of a city pushing toward integration, and the Football Team that ultimately helped unite it. In the film, it seems as if the change really happened almost overnight was it that fast no. No. We did make a difference. We learned to get along with each other as a team by the time we won the state championship in december we had unified the city to a degree fans on both sides of the field. Reporter earl cook and mike lynch were two of the real life titans on the Football Team. Alexandria, virginia, still resistant to the governments push for integration, combined its three rival high schools into one, starting that fall black and white students would be side by side for the first time ever. Did you appreciate then that you were a part of this Great National experiment called integration . I know i did not appreciate it then. I see now that what we, the kids, accomplished was a good thing. In the moment, it was all about the athletics. 100 . You knew mike was white he knew you were black. Yeah, yeah. There is a difference in athletics. All through the sports, your teammates are your teammates you bond reporter a bond only made possible under the tough and uncompromising guidance of coaches herman boone and bill yoast. They bet on the hope that a winning team could turn the tide on racial conflict, bringing the school and community together. They asked us, because of the tension, to wear our football jerseys, the team jerseys, and pair up, white guy and black guy, and patrol the halls. We were demonstrating that were teammates. Showing them the way reporter the 71 titans dominated on the field their undefeated season resulted in a state championship win. But their true victory was a new sense of hope for a Better Future this is the field where all the memories were made. We never lost on this field this was a place of victory for us it was the highest moment and one of the lowest moments. Then you look back and say, boy, that Football Team really was a key component of moving this thing along at this school. Reporter today, the legacy of that 71 titans team is clear, the halls of t. C. Williams are now filled with nearly 4,000 students from 114 different countries. We come together as titans. Reporter marissas family is from brazil. Mahmoud is from sudan. This is a place that celebrates diversity now theres diversity in some places and not any in others. Reporter the graduating seniors say despite all thats changed, students at tc still struggle with modernday segregation. I remember my first day at lunch, the cafeteria was basically selfsegregated, and i was very shocked i was like, wait, am i at the right school this is remember the titans. What reporter this isnt a disney movie. I know, it wasnt. Reporter so the school is integrated, but the social circles inside the school are still very much segregated. Very. Youll see one white person in a crowd of ten people and vice versa all the latinos hang out together i think one big step were taking is with acknowledgment, we can make progress and change we wouldnt have been able to make years ago. Reporter progress and change the citys first black chief of police believes its possible. Theres been steady progress. We slip side back, then we make progress i came back to work and live here in this community because i believed in this community it is a constant struggle to be the best really fascinating. They say they feel the legacy of the 71 titans in the halls, but they also acknowledge that more needs to be done by administrators and students to achieve true integration there it is a matter of figuring out the best way to get there. This idea of how we achieve integration in this country, as you know, it came up last week during the debate. Senator harris, senator from california, taking former Vice President joe biden to task over his comments on busing and his past opposition to busing. Its still very much a hot button issue. Itll be a big issue in the election no doubt about that. I think it underscores so much time has passed and, yet, theres more work to be done yeah. Coming up, guess who is here. Out on the plaza.

You have to learn to juggle before you can joggle, right yes had to think about that first, it is a holiday week, july 4th, of course, meaning fireworks, campouts, barbecues unfortunately, five times as many wildfires as usual, as well. To share wildfire prevention tips, we recruited the help of smokey bear. Along with wen bevans. Smokey is in the house good morning, guys. Come on in. Love when smokey bear is here. Hi, smokey. Hi, guys. Thank you so much 75th birthday is that true it sure is. 75 years ago, the National Association of state foresters, the u. S. Forest service, decided to create smokey, so he was the National Symbol of wildfire prevention. Youve done great work over those years, just raising awareness of what people should be mindful of. What is the number one tip people should always be careful with fire. Abc. When you have a fire, put it out completely whether you have a campfire this weekend youre enjoying or a charcoal grill or outdoor fire pit, you need to drown it, stir it, drown it, then feel with the back of your hand if the coals are hot. If theyre hot, repeat the process until its not. Nice moves. For 75, smokey, youre moving good people might not realize this, but cars can be hazardous. Thats right. The undercarriage of the car and exhaust pipe get really hot. If you park on tall, dry grass, you can start a fire this weekend, if youre going boating, camping, pulling something with a trailer, the chains are a problem you need to twist those chains, and make sure theyre not dragging so they dont throw sparks and cause roadside wildfires. What kind of impact do you think our friend smokey has had over the past three quarters of a century . Im glad you asked. Weve been working hard on looking at the numbers since 1944, weve had a reduction in about 60 of wildfires. Wow, incredible nice, smokey. The main problem is nine out of ten fires nationally are caused by humans it is still true, though we have a reduction of wildfires. Important information gwen and smokey, thank you. Only you can prevent wildfires. I was hoping you were going to do that thank you, smokey. I love your tag line dylan dreyer, how about a check of the weather it is a beautiful summer day.

Coming up, with the longer days of summer, easy for sleep routines to be disrupted fear not, we have hacks to help you. First, this is today on nbc. You. First, this is today on nbc. Now to more of our now to more of our summer sleep Survival Guide the season brings longer days, more activity, and a break from routine. Add it all up, and it can really impact the quality of our sleep. Here with some strategies to help us all get a good nights rest, sleep specialist dr. Michael bruce. This is important here oh, yeah. Here we are, beginning of summer, dog days of summer. Absolutely. Schedules change. Right. No school right. Longer days lets dig in here and look at some of the strategies lets start with school. No school, no schedule right what ends up happening is parents say, you know what you no longer have to wake up at the crack of dawn for school any longer lets let you sleep as long as you want a lot of teenagers definitely need to sleep a little bit more, but dont let them sleep until 11 00 every day. Whats going to happen is their body is going to become so entrenched in the schedule itll be heck to pay when School Starts again keeping them on a very consistent schedule is also very good from a Health Perspective from their rhythms. You made teenagers very angry. I have two at home. Small kids, we go on vacation a couple times every year. I know whats coming. Its the travel jet lag. Right. What can we do about that, if anything theres a lot of things we can do of course, summer is a great time to be going on vacations. Sometimes, we go into different time zones our body doesnt realize that because we got in an airplane and flew 3,000 miles, our body clock is where we started. The direction of travel is very big, especially when dealing with children. East is least, and west is best. When youre going in a westward direction, youre asking your body to stay up later, and that is easier than if you are going eastward, where youre asking your body to go to bed earlier since you have to wake up at some crazy hour, you can probably go to bed at 8 00 most people cant. Right. Thats what happens when you travel east. Other things to think about, when youre traveling from a jet lag perspective, is getting sunlight i ask people to arrive in the destination in the fairly Early Morning or afternoon walk outside immediately and get the sunlight sunlight resets your circadian clock and stops the melatonin production in your head, making jet lag much easier. Using light and a little caffeine not for the kids but definitely for the adults, a little caffeine while getting the bright light exposure can help wake you up. Okay. Very useful. Lets talk about the heat and humidity that a lot of folks are dealing with throughout the summer. Yes. What sleeping environment should we aim for . So cooler is always better. Tell me wife that. I just did. Yes. Sweetie, i hope youre listening. She needs to know, for sure heres what happens, your core body temperature and sleep cycle are one. They follow each other when your core body temperature rises, about 10 30 it hits a peak and then it falls in order to fall, thats when melatonin is produced. In a hot room, your temperature cant fall the warmer it is, theres no melatonin being produced thats why it is so hard to be able to fall asleep. Cooler is better between 65 and 75 degrees, thats awesome trust me, i get it i used to live in scottsdale, arizona, and you couldnt cool your house 20 to 25 degrees off the daily high. Summer, of course, means longer days, but you say that can pose some unique challenges. Again, from a consistency standpoint, right . Sometimes, people will stay up later. Well into the summer evening if you keep your wakeup time consistent, youre going to be in much better shape the circadian rhythm, love the consistency. Some patients, with a consistent sleep schedule, they dont need 7 1 2 or 8 hours they need less sleep because their body is more efficient. We can use the longer days to our advantage. Absolutely. For some people, it can be a good time to catch up on sleep if youve been dragging it for a long time, summer, if you have a little more flexibility in your schedule at work, or for kids in camp, you might be able to catch a few extra zs, or go to bed earlier. I want to ask you Something Else while i have you here pitch black. Should the room be pitch black when trying to go to sleep this is a controversy the answer is any light will affect your ability to produce melatonin and sleep. Pitch black is perfect however, many people have a problem waking up in a pitch black room falling asleep is great, but trying to wake up when you cant see your hand in front of your face, thats hard to do. What a lot of people do, i have them wear eye masks. It gives the darkness there, but a little light can peek in they can remove the mask in the morning when the alarm goes off.
