The evacuation plan similar to getting americans out of wuhan with cdc officials coordinating at every step. The passengers will be tested for the cry russ upon arrive at in it the u. S. And spend another 14 days quarantined at a military base. Thats why Matthew Smith and his wife are not getting on the flight. Theres been no explanation of anything about the condition, what youll have there, and so in some ways, on that part, its the devil you know versus the devil you dont know. Reporter by staying they cant return to the u. S. Until march 4th at the earliest, according to a letter from the u. S. Embassy. For them its time to go. Our family is very happy with us coming back and they feel more comfortable. Reporter it isnt clear exactly what time this special flight is going to take off for the u. S.

Meanwhile, a state of emergency is in effect in jackson, mississippi, this morning where rising waters are forcing homeowners to flee for their lives in whats being called historic and unprecedented flooding. Nbcs blayne alexander is in jackson with the very latest. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you. To give you an idea of how much this water has risen, 13 hours ago i was standing back there and there was no water but as you can see, much of these yards are under water. This is only the second time in the past 100 years or so that the water has ever gotten this high. Thats why officials here want people to get out. This morning in jackson, mississippi, the water just keeps rising. Water, i mean, water, just water. Yeah, yeah. Its unreal. Reporter with the area on track to see near historic flood levels today, the pearl river is already spilling into the streets and in some cases into homes with experts predicting it l will only get worse.

Reporter were expecting to see the third worst flooding in the States History for today. For the people who had to evacuate, it could be at least a week before theyre able to get back into their homes. Kristen . Blayne, thank you. Today is a big day for president trump. Hes headed to daytona where hell serve as grand marshal of the daytona 500, this after a week filled with drama where the president said he hasnt interfered with cases in front of the Justice Department but could if he wants to. Chuck todd, nbc political director and moderator of the meet the press. Good morning. Lets start with president trump. He seems to emboldened in the wake of his acquittal. We saw him weigh in. And he was quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson and he said, quote, when you strike at the king, you must kill him. Chuck, what are the implications of all of this as the president heads into his Reelection Campaign . Well, i think its going to be you look at this and as in a normal political environment you would say, this seems to be hes sabotaging himself. If you think about where he was the week of the impeachment acquittal, the economy surging, another big day big week of wall street that week, he had the gallup. For the first time of getting him within a point of 50 approval, the democrats are in this knife fight right now for the democratic nomination, having in ideological fight. And a normal president would be, look at this and start reaching on you the to the middle, trying to be above it all, but i think hes i think hes hurting himself. I think he has been his own worst enemy. I think this doesnt play well with the middle. The fact is most of these trump skeptic potential voters of his will all tell you, like the economy, dont like his behavior, and this last week weve seen the part of his behavior that turns the middle of the electorate off the most. And the middle will be so critical in this next election. And lets talk about the democratic race a little bit because the president seems to be focused on mayor Michael Bloomberg, a battle of the billionaires, if you will, chuck. And theyre trading what some have called these school yard insults, the president even referring to him as mini mike. He already has a nickname. Does this indicate to you that bloomberg is now who the president sees as his potential biggest rival . In my years now, both researching, spending time interviewing this president , before he was even a political figure, this guy respects basically one thing wealth. He sometimes fears it. And he obviously craves it. So, Michael Bloomberg embodies everything that he thinks, wealth equals power and Michael Bloomberg is someone who is extraordinary wealthy and i think he does fear him. He does fear that money. He does fear that bank roll. One thing about this president is hes never subtle. He shows you what he fears. Did he fear joe biden last year . He sure did. He was willing to put his presidency on the line to try to stop biden. Lets see what hes willing to do to try to detail bloomberg. It will be interesting for sure. You and i were in New Hampshire, of course, this past week where senator Bernie Sanders won, but mayor Pete Buttigieg has the delegate lead by a slim margin. Where do things stands . What is the state of this democratic primary race. A muddled mess. I think, you know, you have sanders abouts is the one that has locked down, i think, a sort of chunk of support. You know hes got this 25 , 28 . Hes shown the ability to not expand this electorate. New hampshire was hoping for a bigger show of force. They didnt get it. Buttigieg and klobuchar are about to run into the brick wall inform money. I think the scrutiny of Michael Bloomberg is going to test the democratic electorate and test some democratic constituency groups as they comment on women, Different Things hes said about policing. This is going to be a messy and uglier phase of this democratic primary. I think youre yeah, i think youre right. Increased scrutiny on bloomberg. All eyes on biden to see if he can revive his campaign after that disappointing fifth place in New Hampshire chuck todd, thank you. Thank you, kristen. Well look for more this morning on meet the press when chuck is joined by democratic president ial candidate joe biden and senator amy klobuchar. A reminder, chuck will be one of the moderators of wednesdays debate hosted by nbc news and msnbc. See it right here starting at 9 00 p. M. Eastern. Heading overseas now the u. S. Embassy in baghdad came under attack this morning when several rockets were fired landing near the embassy and a u. S. Base inside the green zone. U. S.

And on this nba allstar weekend, a touching tribute for lakers great kobe bryant the nba commissioner announcing on saturday that the allstar mvp award would be permanently renamed the kobe bryant mvp award.

Our first high goes to an outoftheworld reunion between a dog owner and her pup who had been apart almost an entire year. Nasa astronaut Christina Cook came back to earth after spending 328 days at the International Space station, breaking awe record for the longest single space flight by a woman, who is incredible in its own right. When she got back, she said it was really fun and exciting to interact with people again. This week she posted a truly incredible interaction with her dog, who was eagerly awaiting her return home to galveston, texas. Take a look. Hi. Hi. Hi. Say hi. You can feel the love there, right . Cooks fury friend is a rescue named sadie lue. Not sure who was more excited. Glad she remembered me after a year. A womans best friend. Do you have a dog . I dont. I dont. Can only imagine that type of unconditional love. I think we have to get dogs. I think thats the lesson. The first low goes to the latest internet craze that was quickly shut down by a bunch of scientists. On monday a twitter user posted this video of a broom standing straight up on its own. She claimed nasa said this could only happen on that specific day because of the earths gravitational pull. The broom challenge quickly swept the internet with thousands of people sharing videos of their brooms balance be upright. Eventually a nasa astronaut and a scientist stepped in to set the record straight on the f fatasialike challenge. Did you do the broomstick challenge yesterday . You can do it again today. Its just physics. Apparently a brooms low center of gravity and wide bristles at the base help keep it upright just about any day of the year and our own al roker proved it was a hoax live on the today show. I still think its cool that you can do that, morgan. God bless al setting the record straight. My fiancee was, no, girl, you can only do it one day of the year. Were you trying it out . Yes. Thank goodness for al. Our next tie goes to a truly adorable moment in texas when a young girls Favorite Movie scene came right to life before her own eyes. 2yearold madeline is obsessed with frozen so when she saw snow for the first time during an unusual texas snowstorm, she insisted on going outside to channel queen elsa. Let it go i dont care what theyre going to say adorable. That video has been viewed almost 50 million times since madelines mom posted it on facebook. You can see why even the voice of elsa shared the video writing, yes, madeline lets show you how well she knows the movie. Be the girl you always have to be you can feel dont let them know well now they know she knows all the moves. She has her own choreography. Shes ready for the big stage. Shes a queen. Exactly. Our final low goes to one canine every year at the Westminster Dog Show who cant quite cope with the pressure of the competition. This was the siberian husky competing in the agility competition. Saw that camera. Come on, lobo, get back on track. Come on. Lobo doesnt seem quite dialed in. There you go, lobo, there you go. I got the top down, heading down Pacific Coast highway, im chilling. Theres my stuff. Lobo getting distracted by the sights and sounds of the arena. He got back on course and completed the course. I like lobos method. He wanted to meet his fans. Thats right.

Continuing coverage of the deadly coronavirus. Hundreds of americans quarantined on a cruise ship at a port in japan are preparing to head to the bay area. A u. S. Government plane is scheduled to fly many of them, including a woman from San Francisco, to Travis Air Force base outside of fairfield. The first plane is expected to land this evening. It will only carry vaccy evacuees that are are symptom free. People will be housed there or flown to texas and they are will not come into contact with people already under quarantine at travis. If passengers from the cruise ship choose not to take the government plane, there is a warning. The u. S. State Department Said they wont be able to return to the u. S. For a, quote, period of time. Coming up on today in the bay, the rain cameras could catch a lot but are they catching criminals . An interesting story to report are there. All of your top stories and weather coming up at 7 00 a. M. Right now back to sunday today. Just resources. Mitchell surging in two new polls out of nevada and south carolina. Wallace polling at double digits. King up eleven points from october. That is dramatic. Steyer im saying we have a broken government. Thats whats going on in washington, dc. Its been bought by corporations, and my question to the American People is who do you think is going to change that . Im tom steyer and i approve this message. Now aeshgs hottest club is bush. It mrplace has everything. A stuck up kitten who wont sign autographs. You have to laugh. Thats a classic moment from one of the most outrageous and beloved characters in the history of saturday night live. Bill hader played stefan and created him with an snl writing john mulaney. In two weeks hell be back in studio 8h to host saturday night live for the third time in the last three seasons, since leaving snl as a writer in 2012. Mulaney has become one of the most popular standup comedians in america selling out theaters with his biting observations. He won an emmy for his last netflix sxespecial and now hest with another which is much typical of his act. Willie got together with john here for a sunday sitdown. Reporter john mulaney has made his name standing alone on a stage with a microphone. I love to play venues where if the guy that built the venue could see me on the stage, he would be a little bit bummed about it. Reporter but in his latest project, the comedian is joined by some new friends. Whats the town of the show . How do you mean . She means, is it ironic or do you like doing a childrens show . You thought a lot about that. Thats a Million Dollar question. I cannot know what the show was nor could i explain to people. Reporter even on the eve of shooting it i actually think i knew but i couldnt arctticulate it, whichs just as bad. Its a volcano. Reporter he explained the idea well enough to convince netflix to sign on to john new la mulaney and the sack lunch bunch which draws inspiration from classic childrens shows like ssesame street and Electric Company but gives a mulaney twist. Im afraid of death. Reporter at its core its about fear and anxiety and death, even death. Yeah. Reporter its about real stuff. Which i dont have children, so i dont know how much they should hear about death in musical specials. Reporter the 37yearold mulaney lives in new york with his wife, anna, and their french bull dog, petunia. What about the kids angle. Why did you want to work with kids and young actors . I wanted to talk to them because i dont ever. I have some nieces and nephews. And so i hadnt spent a lot of time talking to them because i also dont visit my family enough. I go on holiday, but were all in different rooms. Reporter mulaney was raced in chicago with his three siblings. His parents both are lawyers, but from a very young age, mulaney aspired to a life in show business. Id say around age 4 i knew i wanted to be a nightclub entertainer. By 5 reporter 4 . Yeah. Why would you not at age 4 . Because i wanted to be like Ricky Ricardo, the husband on i love lucy which had gone off the air a solid 30 years previous. So i took drum lessons and congo drum lessons. Didnt work out. From age 5 i transitioned to wanting to be Ricky Ricardo i wanted to be a comedian that lived like ricky. Reporter mulaney joined the improv group and made his parents very nervous. They said, you cant be a nightclub entertainer. I said, i dont think youre listening. Im going to be a nightclub entertainer. Reporter they didnt take it seriously . Until i started performing. I couldnt read their faces. I hadnt murdered anyone and i gave up mombo. Reporter he started with an office job at Comedy Central where he pitched ideas and began honing his own standup. In 2008 he was called in for an audition on saturday night live. Two days later im at an Italian Restaurant with my mother, who i dine with, and my cell phone rings and it was seth meyers. He said, he would like to hire you as a writer. That was so crazy to me because my dream since i was maybe 11 was to be like koencon conan o. My mom knew that. And my mom turned to the waiter and said, my son just got hired as a writer on saturday night live and she said, thats how conan got its start. Reporter played by bill hader and based on a pair of real life characters. I met someone who promoted clubs. I bet he was a drug dealer. He would always say, theyre going to have everything because its that thing where theres like old men in wedding dresses and goats. Loo furbies, screaming babies in mozart wigs. Reporter bill lived near a coffee place he would go every day where the barista had a lot of the mannerisms of stefan. He would cover his face a lot of times with his hands and bill said, where do you live and he said, i live on the lower, lower, lower east side. Reporter by 2012 mulaneys reputation for meticulously written and delivered comedy earned him his first netflix standup special called new in town. Some of the things i was anxious about dont bother me at all anymore. Like, i always thought that quicksand was going to be a much bigger problem than it turned out to be are. Reporter in 2018 mulaney earned an emmy during seven soldout nights at radio city music hall including the state of the country. This guy being the president , its like theres a horse loose in a hospital. I think eventually everythings going to be okay, but i have no idea whats going to happen next. No one knows what the horse is going to do next. Least of all the horse. Hes never been in a hospital before. Hes as confused as you are. Ladies and gentlemen, john mulaney reporter that same year, mulaneys career came full circle when the former saturday night live writer was tapped to host the iconic show. It is great to be here hosting saturday night live. That is [ applause ] that is a very weird thing to say. Reporter to be the guy that stands on that stage and gives the monologue, whats that feeling like . Im still a writer, why am i hosting . Im a writing here. Reporter you never shake that. I bet the third time when i show up, im a writer. I wonder if theyre having me here to make fun of me. Cannot wait to see that next appearance on snl. John mulaney and the sack lunch brunch is streaming now on netflix. Our thanks to porch light bar and restaurant here in new york for hosting their conversation.

We can expect to see slightly cooler temperatures this afternoon. Current temperatures as you head out of the door in the 40ss and 50s. San jose 44, oakland, 46. San francisco 51. By it this afternoon we could expect to see breezy conditions and the cloud cover in through the evening hours. Mostly cloudy as well. Heading into monday expect windy conditions. Temperatures will be in the mid60s throughout the entire bay area. Next on sunday today, charging ahead into the 21st century. Harry smith goes for a ride in the new allelectric ford mustang.

Abreva starts to work immediately to block the virus and protect healthy cells. Abreva acts on it. So you can too. Good mormore treatment . Were going to try Something Different today. Hi awwww, so pretty. Dogs bring out the good in us. Pedigree® brings out the good in them. If you were watching the super bowl a couple weeks ago, you may have been surprised by something. Ads for electric vehicles, one right after the next. Gm, porsche, audi and ford. Get this. Ford is now releasing a version of its classic mustang thats 100 electric. We sent harry smith out onto the open load for one of them in our sunday spotlight. That is ridiculous. We are tooling around the streets of deerborn, michigan, with dave of the ford motor company. The car, unusual. For this fords motor is electric. Oh, she takes the curve. Like shes on rails. Is that not phenomenal . Reporter later this year ford says hell be able to take delivery on the new mustang. You could do a boring compliant safe product or do something only really ford can uniquely do, which is to do an electric one. Reporter ford has reason to accelerate into the ev or electric market. Last year 2 million evs were sold, 21 million more expected to be sold in the u. S. Yet in the u. S. Evs account for 1. 8 of all cars sold and that market is dominated by tesla. Tesla owners post videos claiming the cars superiority. It looks so futuristic. Reporter and the company led by the everexuberant elon musk, yet to make a profit, is valued at more than ford and gm combined. The market has to be able to see our ability to build to scale. Now with the new technology somewhat proven, watch out. Reporter is this the point in america where americans will say, we want these things . Your instincts are right on. There has to be a tipping point. Its a connection of price point, desire, so this the desire part is to get the shape of the vehicle right because the earliest ones looked, frankly, like science projects. Reporter ford is building thousands of charging stations and investing more than 10 billion in evs, including an electric f150. We had a little test where we put an electric battery in the prototype and went out and replaced the locomotive on the trains and towed all the cars. Reporter they have a new energy, pun intended. The engineers working on advanced technologies. Do you think america is ready for electric cars . I do. I really, really do. Reporter what makes you that . The stainstantaneous torque. People drive these and theyre like, why didnt i drive these sooner . Im so excited for my friends and family and customers to experience what were working on. I think youre going to love it. That part is really fun. Its going to be in their hands soon. Reporter down the road at gm, similar plants, billions for a new ev attacker t tofactory, debut 20 new ev models by 2023. Watch out, kids, here comes the electric hummer, 1,000 horsepower. Perhaps the Lesson Learned by american automakers, going electric is more about the buzz of the driving experience than not stopping for gas or zero emissions. In other words, if youre going to save the planet, might as well have a good time while youre at it. For sunday today, harry smith, michigan. The ride of a lifetime for our harry smith. Harry, thank you for that. Next on sunday today, the young cartoonist whose powerful illustrations are making waves in the new yorker and making history. What is the message that you hope people take from your cartoons . I hope that people just see how the more all of us are. Later, a life well lived.

Esident we all have progressive plans to address the big challenges facing our country. What makes me different, is ive been working for ten years outside of washington, to end the corporate takeover of our democracy, and to return power to the American People. I started need to impeach to hold this lawless president accountable. Im proposing big reforms like term limits. A national referendum. And ending corporate money in politics. As president , ill declare Climate Change an emergency on day 1. And, use those powers to finally address the climate crisis. And, ive spent 30 years building a Successful International business.

In honor of black history month, we shine a light on a young woman of color whos a part of an exclusive club. Shes a cartoonist. At just 24 years old, her work has already been featured in the legendary weekly magazine the new yorker. This morning in our sunday closer, her illustrations are not only power of statements making a cultural splash, theyre also making history. Reporter humorous, satiracal. Elizabeth mmontague admired thee from afar but had one concern. I never saw myself in the cartoons because they were all white. Reporter so in november of 2018 when she was just 22 years old, she wrote a letter to the editor. What did that letter say . I could tell that there was a lack of representation. All the cartoons really look the same. Reporter emma allen, the cartoon editor was impressed by her passion and wrote back immediately. I asked her who she thought i should be looking at, if there were any she thought the new yorker could help launch and she said me. Reporter and she submitted her favorite illustrations and was stunned when a few months later one of her cartoons was chosen. I couldnt believe it. I didnt really believe it until i had the physical copy in my hands. I was like, oh, my gosh. Reporter montague is the first africanamerican woman to have a cartoon published in the new yorker. It feels like a bit of pressure but really good. Im proud of myself that ive done this. Reporter what does that pressure look like for you . Sometimes i think its the obligation that you feel like you have to represent everyone, which isnt possible because im one person with one experience, one perspective. Reporter her illustrations is ripe with social commentary, race, gender, Climate Change. Lizs perspective is pretty incredible because she tackles these big issues. Reporter her first cartoon in the morninger has the caption, per my last email and has two women of color waiting for a response, it shows Office Culture and also africanamerican women. Is this to send the message that sometimes often africanamerican women are overlooked . Yes, overlooked and not seen. Ive had people message me that i never even noticed the characters were black. Reporter shes had four published in the new yorker and now supports herself as an artist making it clear shes only just begun. What is the message you hope people take from your cartoons . I hope that people just see how similar all of us are. This person might want look like me or have hair like me but i have the same feeling. Reporter what would you say to young people who might want to get into drawing cartoons or into art in general, but who feel really intimidated . Fear isnt going anywhere. Just really trust in your perspective and what you have to say is good enough, because it is. And no one else can hear your point of view better than you can. Such an incredible conversation with a such an inincredible conversation with a truly remarkable young woman there are no black staff cartoonists on any major publication and montague is trying to change that and talking to students in schools and she says she takes great pride in inspiring the next generation no doubt shes already doing that.
