Then less than a week after Nine American women and children were killed violently in mexico, many of the families that had been living there in a Mormon Community are coming back to the United States, fearing for their lives. That story just ahead. And later, a sunday sitdown with actress Kerry Washington on her powerful new film, american sun. Her breakout seven seasons on scandal. And finally convincing her skeptical parents she can make it as an actor. I waited until my mom was slicing into her filet mignon at the governors ball and i was like starving artist, who is starving now a sunday sitdown with Kerry Washington and with bob newhart all later on the show. Lets begin with the latest on the impeachment inquiry as the public hearings begin this week in washington this morning President Trump says he is ready to release the transcript from a second call with ukraines president nbcs hans nichols is out in front of trump tower in new york where the president is waking up today. Hans, good morning reporter good morning, willie the president back in new york city for this holiday weekend, after taking in some football yesterday, playing a mixture of offense and defense. Attacking those who will be testifying next week before the public hearings, while continuing to insist that hes going to release the second transcript of the call with president zelensky before public hearings begin on wednesday. Before leaving town for a College Football game, President Donald Trump calling in audible for his next play in the impeachment inquiry. They want to have a transcript of the other call, the second call, and im willing to provide that. Well probably give it to you on tuesday. Reporter at the alabamalsu showdown the president was met with huge cheers before returning to trump tower in new york for the second time in as many weeks as Congress Prepares to bring its constitutional challenge to the president before cameras, with public testimonies from Career State Department officials, William Taylor and george kent, starting wednesday. Followed on friday by a firsthand account from the ousted ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch. Behind closed doors, she testified that gordon sondland, a trump donor turned diplomat, told her to tweet something nice about the president to save her job. Late saturday night the president accusing her of deceit in her testimony, a terrible lie. How can she do such a thing, he tweeted . The public phase of impeachment promising political fireworks as a Top White House aide tries to keep his conversations with the president private. White house chief of staff mick mulvaney, who appeared to admit a quid pro quo on ukraine before reporters last month get over it theres going to be political influence in foreign policy. Wants the court to decide if he should appear before congress meanwhile, House Republicans are plotting to use live congressional hearings to broadcast their side on the bidens, calling on hunter to testify, and demanding to hear directly from the whistleblower, whose identity is protected under federal law, arguing that trump should be afforded an opportunity to confront his accusers. Reporter willie, late last night chairman schiff responded to the request and rejected it, saying it was redundant and unnecessary and that House Democrats wont allow witnesses to be intimidated that shouldnt be i will be watching all of that this week the president getting a huge cheer in tuscaloosa. Hans nichols outside trump tower. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press. Lets do a viewers guide for everybody. What to look for now that theres an open impeachment inquiry. The public gets a first look at some of the witnesses, yovanovitch and kent and taylor among them, whose private depositions, closed testimony have been damning to the president. What do you expect this week reporter well, i expect the first day to be sort of almost laying the narrative, telling the story and the reason bill taylor is kicking things off is because i think the democrats believe hes not just one of the moecht credible witnesses they have, but he tells the story succinctly, hes very matter of fact he doesnt beat around the bush. There isnt a lot of ambiguity about it he lays it out there plus throw in his long service to the government in various ways, including the military career, as well as a Foreign Service career so i think the first day will be laying out that narrative for what it is, wednesday. On friday i think ambassador yovanovitch is someone who may be a more em anesthetic vifigure of being a victim of this campaign but then the question is now what democrats have their strategy, republicans have theirs, it appears as well theyve said they want hunter biden to appear. Adam schiff is already shooting down that idea and moving jim jordan, one of the president s most fiery defenders onto the Intelligence Committee so he can ask questions. Whats it going to look like inside the room from republicans . Thats a great question how aggressive will jim jordan be will he use it to go after will he go after witnesses with perhaps some aggressive tactics, or is he going to more go after schiff with aggressive tactics is his goal to make the process seem circus like, or to protect the president and focus on some questioning of the witnesses that do that part of it, willie, is we dont know what their strategy is going to be. Is it about protecting the president specifically, or is it going to be about upending the process generally. As all of this is going on, democrats continue their campaign and a new name on the list this week, mike bloomberg, who is on the ballot in alabama. Going to get on the ballot in arkansas hes chasing these deadlines hes come out publicly and said if he actually gets all the way in the race, hes going to skip the first four states and basically start his campaign on super tuesday. What do you make of that strategy well, the data says that its a smart strategy if you just looked at it, the month of february, 4 of all delegates in four states are available, and in the month of march over 60 of delegates are available then so on paper you could say that makes sense. But boy, theres a lot of people that have tried the super tuesday strategy al gore tried it in 88, it didnt work. Rudy giuliani tried it in 2008, it incident work it looks better on paper than it usually plays out. But we shall see. The former threeterm mayor will not be short on cash. Chuck, thank you so much well look for more this morning on meet the press, when chuck talks about the growing pressure on the president with republican senator rand paul and democratic senator Sherrod Brown of ohio. This morning family members of the victims are back in the United States after fleeing the violent area nbcs Morgan Radford has more. Good morning.

Four of my grandchildren are burnt and shot up. It was women and kids you cant understand that level of evil. Reporter now a family split by fear. Dozens of norman descendants fleeing just days after the massacre. We took everything we could fit in our vehicles just to get across the border. We dont feel safe anymore. An 18vehicle caravan arrived in arizona, their trucks loaded to the brim with everything they could carry, while others remained defiant christinas sister saying she wouldnt let the killings force her from her home. Its suspected that cartels carried out the attacks. No arrests have been made, but the Mexican Government has deployed reinforcements to the region for these family members, its too little too late. The damage has already been done they not only killed nine people, they killed a community. Well never be the same. Reporter a small glimmer of hope this morning. All but one of the five children injured in the ambush have been released from the hospital. Thank you very much well see you again in just a few minutes. Some potentially good news this morning for the family of a man who disappeared in iran 12 years ago. Iranian Officials Say they have opened a case for former fbi agent robert elevenson who went missing there in 2007. Iran has repeatedly offered conflicting accounts about what exactly happened to him. Levinsons family says they hopes this is the first step to ending what they call a nightmare. And what may be one of the worst attempts in the history of the genre, a plane crashed in texas after dumping a load of pink water to reveal a baby girl was on the way the crash happened in september but the ntsb just released a report into what went wrong. Theyre saying the crop dusting plane stalled and then crashed the good news is the pilot somehow was not injured in that. My advice, just send a blast email to your family a massive swath of the country about to get the coldest air of the season. More than 100 cold weather records could be broken in the next few days as a. Another morning with coastal fog thats extending its way into the valleys 37. Sha look at downtown san jose.

And the black cat who earned its fame by stealing the spotlight during a game of monday night football and later on this eve of veterans day, we return to a successful v. A. Program treating ptsd, but now finding its future in jeopardy. Its always been threatened, but i think its more threatened now than maybe before in many ways its all coming up on sunday today.

Morgan is back for the highs and lows this week. We got some good ones for you this morning. Our first high whose quick reflexes saved a mans life. One man takes a step too far over the yellow line falling over the track just as the train was pulling into the station. John o conner, a supervisor reaches down and was some combination of strength and general lynn, yanks the fan backup to safety just as the train climbs fast. The crowd erupted into cheers for o conner as captured by a fellow traveler. Thats a good hug right there. O conner is a former trained operate erp whos a 20year veteran at bart.

That Quick Reaction and whatever he had, he yanked the man off the train tracks. You think of how often our job preparing us for worse Case Scenario and how many people know what to do and have the courage to do it. Our first blow, a black cat crosses your path during a football game. Sadly for uses giants fans, it was the most entertaining part of the game. The cat emerged in the middle lanes into the bright light of monday night football interrupting the primetime event for seven minutes. Kevin harlen was calling the game for westwood 1 radio and he did not miss a beat when the cat took the field. Hes walking to the three, hes at the two, and the cat is in the cw red zone. State trooper comes out on the field and the cat runs into the end zone, thats as touchdown. He got the sponsor plug in. The cw red zone. Humans were not the only one fascinated by the black cat so were black cats. Here ace crew here is a crew of them watching at home and getting close to the screen cheering on their feline. The black cat drove dogs nuts, too. People posing videos like that one all over monday night. The cat has not been seen its monday night cameo. The mystery continues. We are hoping the black cat comes back out to give us something to watch. That cat may be the mvp and the best player of the league now. Our next high, the most stunning game of fetch you will ever see. A group celebrating their teams victory near the south pole when a belluga whale swam up besides them. One of the passengers took out a rugby ball and decided to have a catch with the whale in the wild. The whale swims after it and retrieves the ball and brings it back to the boat and they run it back and back again. It is a full on game of fetch with the belluga whale at the south pole. They are incredibly social animal. To understand a game of catch with a group of humans on the boat. Look at you, you know your rugby. Your final low goes to arc son. There is not a whole lot you can do when 63, 360 pounds Christian Lewis is coming at you like a Freight Train and the strategy becomes survival. The little rock six grader became a viral star when this video ws posting rumbling through defense and undoubtingly under the radar screen of College Coaches across the country. Christians natural position is on the offensive of line, when the team needs a first down in a hurry, he becomes the running back. The best stat is christian has a 3. 8 grade point average. The sky is the limit for my guy christian. Christian came in like a wrecking ball. I dont think that black cat can take christian.

You can barely make out the buildings behind it. The current temperature 51 degrees so its not too cold but the fog will make it feel a little bit chillier than it really is. Your hourbyhour outlook, keep the foggy start, hazy skies throughout the day. Fast forward through 11 00 12 00 we keep periods of cloud cover along the coastline.

As far as our next chance of rain were not expecting to any see any rain until the last week of september into the first week of december so weve remained dry for the next several days. Keep in mind the lingering for the first half of the day and hazy skies inland.

Thats Kerry Washington in the netflix film adaption of american son, a play whose recent broadway run starred washington. American son tells an intense story of a mixed race florida whose son is mississipng after traffic stop. What it means to be black in america. The broadway role in americame son was washingtons next tv series after scandal, the actress has a habit of playing smart, strong woman including anita hill in confirmation. Kerry and i got together here in new york for a sunday sitdown and a little lunch. My gosh this looks incredible. Oh, it is my favorite. I love it. Wow. Do you put this out everyday or because kerry is here. Now you are showing off. Kerry washington loves to put on a show. But over the course of her career she has strive to do more than just entertain. She want to make us think, too. Keep your handson the wheel, boy, look straight ahead. Would not want to make the man in the bullet proof vest nervous when he walks up to your window pointing a glok at your head. American son is a raw look at race and policing in america. What do you hope someone who has not had these personal experiences take a way from watching theis film. Black parents get to have their that feels important to me as a black parent but also people who are white or other races who dont feel this kind of pressure. They get to actually imagine what it would be like. You talked about this before but your own real life and father. You have a son that you have to talk to about this. A husband. How do you describe that fear as a daughter and a wife and a mother . Also, you know for myself when i have a Police Officer behind me, i pull over and i let them pass me. I will not let myself ride on the road with them behind me, the anxiety will force me to do something stupid and really get in trouble. Does he goes by my street name . He does not have any street name. I am asking you to look at me to be with me and walk in my shoes for the next 90 minutes. Thats because we dont walk au often in the shoes of black culture, thats an act of activism. The 42 years Old Washington grew up in bronx, new york. Her mother was a professor and her father was a realrealtor. I was a dramatic child. I am shocked, kerry. My mom, god help her, shes an educator. She thought i have to give this kid a place to have all of these feelings and it is not my living room. I am going to put her into a company and so she was really able to see me for who i am and regret it later when i wanted to make a career out of it. Washington attended the Prestigious School in manhattan where she thrived in the classroom and on the stage. When did you feel yourself, hey, gunpoii got an act for the i was in the production of hamlet and i played ophelia. I did my grand exit and i looked over at my mom and she was crying. I was impacted because my mother is not a criteria. This woman who knows exactly who i am, if i can get her even for half a second to think that i am somebody else, there is so much power in that. Washington went onto George Washington university. There she studiied anthropology and sociology. I gave myself a year. I was preparing to have a real backup plan. She didnt need that plan b. A year after graduating, washington was cast in the teen romance save the last dance starring julia styles. You need new moves to have some real flavor, you know who to call. In 2004, washington played ray charles devoted wife alongside jaime foxx in the Academy Award winning movie ray. What about me . What about your baby. She drew a claim for a powerful performance in jenga. In 2012, washington took center stage when she landed a juicy, lifechanging lead role as political fixer olivia pope on scandal. It is handled. When i read the script, i loved her. I actually had the experience of throwing the script across the room at some point, i thought these writers know me. It feels like it was written for me. Thats not throwing an anger. Thats throwing in an a wow. I cant believe how right it felt for me. The show ran for seven hit series. Washington was nominated for two emmys and a golden globe, calming her mothers fears once and for all. I brought my parents with me and i waited until my mom was slicing into her filet mignon, i was like starving artist, how are you doing . Whos starving now . Scandal was not just popular, it was Ground Breaking. Washington was the first africanamerican woman to front a Network Drama in nearly 40 years. In my lifetime i have never seen a black woman as lead of a Network Drama. What does it mean . I knew that if scandal was not a success, it could be another 40 years before a black woman had the opportunity to be a lead of a Network Drama. So i wanted to get it right. In 2013, washington married former nfl star, they have three children and as washington profile continues to rise, she works to keep her young family out of the spotlight. That must be hard to do on some level, right . I am sure there is some temptation to share. I have moments where i like take pictures or videos of one of my three amazing kids and i want to post it online and i attempted to send it to my parents and shrink instead. My kids are so cute and i dont want to post about them so look how cute they are. Your shrink is your instagram. I have a private instagram. Kerrys new film american son is streaming now on netflix.

By the afternoon, well get some partial clearing but the coastline will take a lot longer to clear. Hazy skies through inland areas. Temperature also climb into the mid and upper 70s. 70 degrees in palo alto. 71 in san jose. Next on sunday today , with veterans day tomorrow, an update of a story we brought you last year about a successful and little known va program thats helping returning warriors with helping returning warriors with pt struggling to clean tough messes with wipes .

It will be the 19th veterans day since the war in afghanistan began in october of 2001 the tragic struggles faced by returning servicemen and women, including ptsd and suicide, have been well documented, if not well treated a year ago, we brought you the story of a littleknown program run by the department of veterans affairs, that has been a break through for vets in need of help. Now the program is in jeopardy nbcs Gabe Gutierrez has an update in our todays sunday spot light dave stran has built a world in his garage where hes in complete control this space is my safe place. His response to trauma from military combat during the vietnam war, inside he was struggling. Emotionally numb for probably the majority of my life. Stran got help at a v. A. Vet center near his home in washington we told you about this place a year ago 300 vet centers nationwide, even mobile ones, begun after the vietnam war. The concept, readjustment counseling with talk therapy and Human Connection theyve told us the care has saved their lives. Without this group i probably would not be here. I was sitting on the edge of my bed and the last couple of seconds before i pulled the trigger, i just broke down and i knew i needed to come in here. Younger vets, too, injured helping to clear ieds. Without the vet center suicide, guaranteed. Instead hes now a Vet Center Counselor helping others the Vet Center Program has been separate from the big v. A. Medical system, which some combat veterans told us they dont trust. I still get a pit in my stomach when i go to the v. A. Hospital they just hand to hand me pills. Here they give you tools. But now they tell nbc news they fear the program is becoming more bureaucratic and more like the big v. A. A former Vet Center Counselor in rhode island has been raising alarms a goal with 30 clients each week, with a requirement of 25 he says hes creating an ethical dilemma. Choosing between im going to do what i need to do to meet these metrics or do what i need to do best for the veterans to give them quality care. Some told us theyre strulg ling to meet the required number of visits and recordkeeping and still provide personalized care. On average, 17 veterans commit suicide each day 6,000 per year for the last ten years. We have a solution right here why arent they multiplying this and doing it michael fisher, a combat veteran who served in iraq and was once a client, now runs the program. We have leadership within v. A. That understand and appreciate the center. That has given us the ability to increase and expand our services fisher says since 2000 the program has doubled in size and its constantly trying to find more veterans to help. The u. S. Army combat veteran who served in vietnam who ran the program for more than 20 years is concerned. Based on everything youve heard, do you feel that the Vet Center Program now has been threatened its always been threatened, but i think its more threatened now than maybe before in many ways i think the enemy is bureaucracy. He says the Vet Center Program helped him finally heal. Its been monumental for me its lifesaving. He and a lot of others hope the v. A. Will allow it to continue to be for sunday today, Gabe Gutierrez, washington. Amen to this. Gabe, thank you very much. If you or someone you know is in need of help, the resources are there. You can call the vet center at the number on the bottom of the screen 877warvets next on sunday today, terry smith with bob newhart need i say more . You know who was on that show betty white.
