The president staying silent on the matter for now. Were live in south korea with the latest. And later, our sunday sitdown with Julia Louisdreyfus. Whats new on veep, her role. And doing political satire in the days of donald trump. We all make fun of the other guy. Our sunday sitdown. And harry smith a bit later in the show. Lets begin this morning with Vice President pence arrives hours ago in south korea where tensions are high after north korea test fired a Ballistic Missile that exploded just moments after launch. Good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. Just hours after a massive military parade of missiles and hardware, north korea carried out a missile test, firing whats believed to be a medium rung or Ballistic Missile from its east coast. U. S. Officials confirms for nbc news that it failed. That it detected the launch, traced it. And it blew up almost immediately. And this came just after kim jongun had paraded his arsenal through. In his parade he had showed up what appeared to be a new type of intercontinental Ballistic Missile designed to reach the United States. Now that north korea launched something is not a surprise. Theres been speculation that Nuclear Tests were in the works. Whats unclear is the reaction to it particularly from the u. S. President trump has said that north korea is a problem that will be dealt with. But so far on this test, hes been quiet. With only a brief statement acknowledging its failure from the defense secretarygeneral james madis. Vice president mike pence is in a tenday tour of the region. Hes in seoul now and meets with south korean officials about u. S. Security concerns. So far, willie, he has barely acknowledged this test. His spokesman said frankly the response is not worth extending the resources so this whob the official White House Position to deny north korea the attention its seeking. Were seeing less brash white house on this. Jane, thank you so much. Ju juan, thank you for being with us. Grng mop. We did see this massive parade through pyongyang with what some experts are saying a volume of missiles they didnt think narc actually had yesterday. But then thats followed but by a missile test. What should we take away from what we saw in north korea . I think we have a regime displaying its power. A whole range of missiles to include three types icbms, intercotton mental Ballistic Missiles. Even though the failed missile test is an embarrassment, it wasnt the nuclear test that many were anticipatinging. It does demonstrate this is a regime that continues on its march. As well as a nuclear program. So the clock is ticking here. And i think the military operated was an attempt to demonstrate strength internal any and externally. Juan, i want to take a step back for our viewers and ask you how you feel about north korea. Many people over the years has said its a paper tiger propped up only from the generosity of china. You see the tests again and again, you look at what Ambassador Nikki Haley has said that north korea is the absolute number one threat to the United States. How do you think about north korea . I think north korea is the National Security wildcard. It presents the deepest and most dangerous problems. You have a rogue state thats developing Nuclear Components thats been shown to be willing to take both south korea and the world to the brink of war. And that even if it doesnt have the latest capabilities, the maximum capabilities, certainly has conventional capabilities that could do huge damage to seoul. And it is a regime that is so sort of unnerved that can create instability in the region. And so, this is a real problem. And the clock is ticking. The clock is really ticking here on the program. And youve seen the Trump Administration trying to change the calculus a bit. Saying we dont have time for strategy of strategic patience anymore. Thats why youve seen them trying to not only pressure china, but also position forces in a way to change the dynamics. Weve seen Vice President pence over there in seoul. Weve seen President Trump trying to exert influence on china. Asking them to do something about korea. What options does the United States have here . Well, the United States has several options obviously working with its allies, south korea, japan working with china and russia to try to pressure and restrain the regime. The goal here is to try to slow if not stop the nuclear advancements. And the big ticket here, can we get china which is the lifeline for the north korean regime, economically, diplomatically, even militarily, at the end of the day, can we get china to exert influence . Are they willing . And at the end of the day are they capable of changing the regimes behavior. Thats why youve seen so much focus on china itself as a linchpin in terms of changing what happens on the korean peninsula. Happy easter to you. Happy easter to you. President trump is dealing with backlash over another issue here at home. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell live in West Palm Beach on his easter morning with us. Kelly, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. Just picking up on your conversation, the president does have his deputy National Security visor here hes spoken with military leaders and the Vice President on World Affairs but this does not free the president of heat at home with protests around the country venting frustrations. Peaceful, it was not. In brooklyn, california, saturday clashes between demonstrators both for and against the president. Angry words. Scuffles, emotions boiled over. A string of arrests. While that got out of hand, a more focused message around the country were marching to demand that donald trump lease his tax returns. Reporter organized protests promoted as tax marches brought people together. Somebodys got to start to hold this man accountable. Reporter armed with signs and celebrity sightings. Actress Debra Messing in new york. We want to see his tax returns . Why . Because we want to see what they show. Reporter reporter democratic politicians took on the president. It was resistance that did that. When we fight, we can win. Reporter in President Trumps florida backyard, West Palm Beach. Every other president has shown their tax returns i think theres something that they wants to hide. Reporter in washington, d. C. , marchers went past monuments. As candidate trump he refused and claim head would open his books when irs completes its audits. Does answer the audit is finished, it will be released. Reporter the president maintains he shar s will he paye of tax. But white house officials now say dont hold your breath waiting to see his w2s. Hes not going to release his tax returns. We litigated this all through the election. People didnt care. They voted for him. Reporter and just a note, willie. The president we know is an avid user of twitter but he seems to have had a president ial pause. He tweeted friday early in the day and not at all on saturday. Of course it is Easter Sunday. There is no official schedule for the president , but there is an expectation that he will likely change Church Services with his family. They do belong to a church here in palm beach where he and melania were married and barron was baptized. Willie. Weve become accustomed to those saturday morning tweets. Nothing on this easter weekend. Kelly, thank you. Chuck todd is moderate of meet the press. Chuck, good morning. Good morning, willie. Lets pick up the question of tax returns its a question that has kungs over donald trump since he got into the campaign two years ago. Almost laughed at the suggestion, we dont have to put outer our tax returns. Is there any new pressure that he might actually provide information what hes doing in his Business Life . Look. If we ever see his tax returns and i do think we will at some point, it is going to be because some Government Entity forced them into the public square. Right. Is it a subpoena from one of the russian investigations on capitol hill . Thats possible. Or is it a movement among, you know, there have been some state legislatures that have proposed the idea of tying a release of the tax returns to the ability to get on the ballot to run. So, maybe it doesnt happen until 2020. And he files for reelection in various states. Maybe one of those states that have a Democratic Legislature forces it that way. But i think were going to see it. I dont think he will ever voluntarily do it. I think if it happens it will be some Government Entity that forces it. A reminder the irs said he could put them out despite the fact that he says hes under audit. Another question of transparency. Ed you remember, President Trump said barack obama was the least transparent president of all time. He talked about draining the swamp. Changing the way things are done in washington, d. C. But on friday, it was announced that the white house would not make public its visitors logs. Can you explain why that is important, chuck and why they are made public historically . Well look, its only recent history, willie, as president obama was the first one to release those visitor logs. But they had a lot of exceptions there there were ways, there were plenty of logs that didnt get released that they had different waivers that people would get oh, no, this cant be public, this cant be public. So it was a modified it was sometimes transparent, but it was more than had ever been done before. The argument that the white house made before, saying this isnt fully transparent. Yeah, its better than before and future president s wont be away with not doing it. It turns out the Trump Administration thinks they can get away with it. At the end of the day, if they didnt face the pressure to face tax returns, why do we think theyre going to feel the pressure to do this. Chuck, happy easter to you, my friend. We will be watching meet the press where chuck is joined by jack reid, john kelly and senator john mccain. Other headlines making thus this morning, tens of thousands of christians have flocked to the vatican to celebrate easter mass. And hear pope francis deliver the message from the balcony of st.

Its a bermuda high and that southwest wind helps to warm up temperatures 20 to 30 degrees above average. New york 84, boston 82, columbusie high of 74. Even chicago in the lower 70s today, heading farther south. Temperatures not as warm, above average, still above nonetheless with temperatures in the lower 80s. We do have a cool front which is eventually going to cool things down along the east coast and going to trigger isolated stronger storms. Hail would be the biggest threat and of course the lightning and heavier downpours will be a concern. Something to keep an eye out this morning in the midwest and later this afternoon in the east.

All right, dylan and i are ready to whip through the highs and lows of the week, shall we . Lets do it. The first high goes to President Trumps high opinion of the dessert menu at his maralago estate in florida. Last week, the president welcomed china cheese president xi to maralago for a couple days of meetings. President trump interrupted to sign off on the air strike on syria. In an interview this week, the president gave a play by play recap of his decision taking time especially to highlight the big beautiful dessert. I was sitting at the table. We had finished dinner. Were now having dessert. And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that youve ever seen. And president xi was enjoying it. And i said, mr. President , let me explain something to you. This is during dessert. I said, weve Just Launched 59 missiles heading to iraq. Headed to syria . Yes, heading toward syria. First of all, he got so caught up talking about the beautiful dessert, he said the wrong country but we knew what he meant, he meant syria there. But in the middle of an air strike, obviously a very serious thing to talk about, to pause and plug the dessert menu at your club. Its extraordinary. Im curious to taste the chocolate cake to see if it was worth all that. Well, it was big. Apparently there was a vanilla glaze. The vanilla glades. You had to see the chinese president with this cake, amazing. The way one brother and sister felt this week about punishment handed down by their mother. After an apparent fight between the two, mom decided not to send them to their rooms separately or take away the ipad. She was much more creative than the rest of us. All she needed was a tshirt and a slow jam. Im going to make you all hold hands now. You can hear mom telling them they need to hold hands when they slow dance. I guarantee whatever they did to get in trouble it, wont happen again. I will say, if you have kids, they look like, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, between the two of them it, that range, you do sort of have to get creative with new ways. I think thats a harmless punishment. Nobody wants to do it again. And they were completely miss miserable . Is that right . Shes narrating the whole thing. The next high goes to 7yearold gianessa wride of utah. Her school was holding a crazy hair day competition when the kids come in with their hair all crazy. Gianessa suffers from alopecia. A condition her mom noticed in january when her daughters hair began to fall out. Before long, she had lost all of her beautiful brown hair. What do you do on crazy hair day . Well, mom had a plan. Moms always have a plan. Together, mother and daughter decorated gianessas head with jewel stickers is making elaborate floral designs and a beautiful blingy owl. Thats so cool. She doesnt wear wigs they make her head itch. The sparkly look much cooler anyway. Her classmates loved it. She won the contest and the school renamed the celebration crazy head day. Thats so suite. I love what she said after. She said, i was sadat first when i lost my hair, but now i love being bald. I can do things that other kids cant do. Only a kid can do it. I just love the mom. Moms are the best. Youre a mom now. You always find a solution for your kid. So cool. Our final logos to the sag in the middle of mc hammers genie pants in the 80s. Were in the spirit thanks to San Jose University assistant football coach Alonzo Carter who also happened to be hammers lead dancer for five years back in the day. Some coaches inspire their players with speeches. Others by tapping the magic of the 190 megahit you cant touch this. Cant touch this youre just waiting for the moment there. One of the coaches was so psyched he just got up and ran away. I like the guy in the back jumping with excitement. Funny thing, none of those kids on that team, kids theyre in college right now were alive then. If he broke out and danced it, they didnt know what the dance is. Who is this guy . Who is hammer . Coming up next, our sunday sitdown with Julia Louisdreyfus thaws starteded from snl many and took her from seinfeld to veep. Where to go, and how to work around your uc. Thats how i thought it had to be. But then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control. When certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. With humira, control is possible. Golden gate bridge vicky 2shot im vicky nguyen. Along your time now is 6 26. Good sunday morning to you. Lets give you a live look outside this morning at the golden gate bridge. Things looking nice out there today. Hopefully will stay clear and dry, at least for the morning part of your Easter Sunday celebration. Im vicky nguyen alongside vianey arana. A lot of people will be outside this morning hoping they dont have to bring the umbrellas out. You might have to. Were staying dry. The driest part of Easter Sunday is going to be right about now and within probably the next hour. Right now the temps in the 40s. Coast line in the 50s. It does look like the north bay is expected to see some light rain first and then it will become widespread by early afternoon. If we take a live look at the Doppler Radar, you can actually see the system sitting off shore. The good news, its not a very strong system so were not expecting too much rainfall from this. Less than. 10 of an inch. Just under half of an inch, closer to a quarter in areas of the north bay and maybe the coast line. All in all its going to be very light rain, periods of on and off again showers. Unfortunately we are expecting that to become widespread at about 11 00. Typically from what i remember, thats the time people are getting out of mass. Thank you so much. We can still hunt for eggs with the raincoat on. In berkeley at least 20 people were arrested and 11 injured during violent clashes between supporters and opponents of President Trump. One person was reportedly stabbed. Hundreds of pro and antitrump supporters began to gather at Martin Luther King Center Park about 10 00 yesterday morning for the tax day event. Thats when an explosive mele broke out. The two groups exchanged blows, burned flags and threw fireworks at opposing rallies. They con if i skitted stun guns, sticks and knives. Berkeley police eventually had to request Alameda County sheriffs deputies to help them keep the peace. Cowards that want to wear a mask to sucker punch people. They dont belong in berkeley. Theyre not from berkeley. Theyre just coming in to start something. Police are looking through social media accounts and video now to find more people who were involved in inciting that violence. A peaceful tax day demonstration in San Francisco though. Tens of thousands of people demanding the president release hs tax returns. Some were asking what the president has to hide. Others calling him a coward for not making his finances available. One demonstrator was pretty passionate about what he calls Republican Party hypocrisy. You can bet if the shoe were on the other foot and the democrats were in power right now, they would just be going crazy if obama hadnt released his tax returns. That is what i find so incredibly annoying about republicans. Unlike what happened in berkeley, Police Reported no problems at this tax day event in San Francisco. Coming up at 7 00 on today in the bay, there has been an arrest in the case of an autographed jerry rice football. Well show you which one of those people is in custody. See you back here at 7 00. [ laughter ] send in steve bannon. Send him in. [ applause ] hello. Steve, well, youve never looked younger. And now send in my cush ball gerald kouchner. Youre unbelievable. A special edition of saturday night live. Live across all time zones with Host Jimmy Fallon and musical guest harry styles. It was on that same stage just across the street here where Julia Louisdreyfus broke into comedy. The role of elaine made her a star of course, 19 years after that iconic show she keeps going. Julia and i got together for a sunday sitdown in bronx where she was shooting an episode of veep which returns for its sixth season. Julia, its great to be back in our your own haunt . Yeah. Ive never seen it this empty. So many great nights together. Memories and blackout periods but we dont have to go down there. Julia louisdreyfus just feels like a an old friend from saturday night live to seinfeld to veep, shes been in our lives and making us laugh for a generation. Heres the scarf story that you wanted to oh, good. Looks good on you willie . Do you think so. 100 pashmina. Sounds good, babe. Reporter julia was first discovered in 1982, a junior at Northwestern University she was performing improv with her soon to be husband brad hall. One night, saturday night live producer dick ebersol was in the audience. Like one of those corny movies where they said, hey, we saw you guys perform and do you want to be on snl. Like hmm yeah. Was that even on your radar at that point . I didnt even know they were in the theater. No. Square wear to god. Reporter she came the youngest snl cast member. It wasnt what i hoped it would be. Oh, mary, you always make me laugh. Ooh. Offstage. It was a dog eat dog world. A lot of drugs and stuff, too. It wasnt very female friendly. I was so sort of dumb and green. I didnt realize it was so gr druggy. All of these sketches would be 18 pages long and writers going about how funny it was. And you met a guy named larry david . I did. He was just as miserable as i was and he bonded over that. Im not kidding. Reporter writer larry david had created a show about nothing. The feedback and pilot was not very good. I dont really know. Theres a famous line there that jerry and larry held up on on the wall, about no segment of the audience wanted to see the show again. Get out reporter julias character e elaine benis was added after. Seinfeld led for one of the most iconic shows in television history. This is my aunt stella. Stella and did you feel turn at some point along the run and say this is a different show now . I guess i felt the turn when they put us on thursday nights. Prior to that, we had a pretty crappy time slot. All of a sudden our audience was growing and growing. Incredibly exciting time with my life. It was a really good gig. Reporter so where do you go from seinfeld . Eventually, yuloul julia went another hit the new adventures of old christine. Then another big hit. No bs vp. Damn right they are. Reporter on the hbo show veep she plays the evenigotis al selina meyer. What is selina meyer doing in the bronx this season . Selina meyer is very focused on her postpresident ial legacy. She very much still considers he relevant as a postpresident ial persona. Youve been Vice President. Then senator. President. Congressman. Presidency taken from you . Did the president call . Sue, sue, did the president call . Why do you think the show has clicked with people . I think people are always interested in sort of the idea of whats in front of the camera, so to speak. And then behind. You know, behind the curtain. Whats really going on. And i think thats the appeal. Reporter to understand what it takes to be the countrys number two, julia met with Vice President s al gore and joe biden. Both Hillary Clinton and the Late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia are counted as many fans in washington. When you went off the air in season five, june of last year. Yes. It would have been safe for a reasonable person to assume that Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president of the United States. She did not become the next president of the United States. She didnt . What happened . Ive got to get on social media. How did that change about the way you felt about this show. For a minute it lapped our world i will say on election day because we all in fact did think it was going to go a certain way. We have two great things going for us in this show. One is we have never identified parties. Selena is either republican or democrat. We all think were making fun of the other guys. Im happy to be here for National Volunteer week. National volunteer week. Do you feel like you have to have some voice on that conversation indirectly . Not on our show. Our goal is to be funny. Were not satirizing politics. You gave that speech at the s. A. G. Awards. Im an American Patriot and i love this country. Because i love this country im horrified by his blemishes and this immigrant ban is a blemish. I felt strongly about it so i thought i would say what i did. You can reveal anything about season 6 of veep . A little teaser. Get the people excited. I dont want to say anything and then im going to be, why do i do it. Is she okay . I worry about her out of power . You should be very worried. You should be very worried. Thats a teaser. I will destroy you in ways that are so creative they will honor me for it at kennedy center. Is there something out that you havent done that you want to do . Id like to relax. Youre not good at that. Yeah, id like to chill out for a period of time. This show is tons and tons of work. Its very, very work extensiint. All of that, i love. I want to chill out for a time but i want to keep working so there are jobs out there, ill take it. Theres almost so much calm i can take. Julia revealed that the Democratic Party has reached out to her about running for office in real life. Her response not in a million years. The sixth season of veep begins tonight at 10 30 on hbo.

Then storms through the midwest on wednesday. By thursday, it starts to get more unsettled across the northeast. Maybe even some snow across no good morning. Its Easter Sunday and were seeing 40s and 50s. 47 for palo alto. It really shows you the difference in temperatures. That Doppler Radar is tracking some easter rain. You can already see it off shore.

San francisco expected to see some rain around 8 00 a. M. And san jose rain by midday. And thats your latest forecast. You like your pockets dont you. Thanks, dylan. Sex on sunday today, the video that stunned the world this week. A United Airlines passenger ripped from his seat dragged bloody off a planehow did air travel get so bad . And who a week ago today, dr. David dao, boarded united flight 3411 at Chicagos Ohare International airport headed home, he thought to louisville. But its how he left the plane that sparked outrage around the world. Dr. Daos attorney said this week, dao suffered a concussion, a broken nose and lost two teeth when he was dragged out of the seat he had paid for so traveling united employees could take his place. Most of us have never been bloodied that way in a flight, but the incident set off a conversation about just how unpleasant air travel has become. Nbc aviation correspondent tom costello shines our sunday spotlight on how we got here and now, how things might change. Reporter weve come a long way since the golden days of air travel. The mystique captured by denard dodie caprios character in catch me if you can. Come fly with me reporter even the commercials from the 70s and 80s seem an echo from times past. Flooi endoflight friendly skies reporter how did we get here, packed flights. No elbow room. Short timber tempers. No deals. And then a week ago today this oh, my god. No reporter dr. David dao ripped from the seat he paid for hospitalized with serious injuries all to make room for a flight crew. United airlines and the city of chicago have repeatedly apologized admitting dr. Dao did nothing wrong. While his case may be an extreme example, his Attorney Says somehow, Many Airlines no longer place a premium on Customer Service. We all want to be treated in the same manner, with the same respect and same dignity that they would treat their own family members. Reporter so what happened . Some of the most profound changes to aviation came after 9 11. As the airlines struggled just to survive, they cut the size of their fleets to fill every seat on planes that do fly. Soon they were charging for luggage, leg room, seating changes, even carry on bags. With so many mergers fewer to choose between. An Airline Passenger advocate says we the customers share the blame. Whats happened to the travel experience over the last 20 years . I think we can all say that Customer Service has really suffered. And a lot of that comes from the consumers demand for lower prices. Reporter we all want to pay the cheapest possible to get from point a to point b. Right. Ive seen people change their booking plans based on two or 3 change. Filling the sky every day, 2 million passengers and 26,000 flights. Ive seen it all. Like i have seen it all, seriously. Reporter heather blogs about being a Flight Attendant for two decades and counting. She has stories that will make you think twice about booking a flight, starting with the place you eat your meal. Yes, i have seen people put their bare feet on a tray table. I have seen dirty diapers being changed on a tray table. Reporter some airlines do get high marks for Customer Service, and the more you pay, the more you get. But would it be possible to redesign the entire airline experience. From the moment you buy your ticket to the moment youre back home, the founder of airbnb the company that changed the Hotel Industry tells willie its possible. What if the plane felt a little more like a home in the sky . What if the experience getting there was almost seamless going through the airport . I think all of these are design solutions. For sunday today, tom costello, washington. This week, united announced a change to its policy. Its crew members no longer will be allowed to take the seat of a passenger who already has boarded the plane. Coming up next on sunday today, a life well lived. The man who spent his life following through on a surprise promise he made to pay for the College Educations of a group of sixth graders. Plus, harry smith takes us to a special repair shop where theres almost nothing they wont fix. Hey ive made plans for later in case this date doesnt go well. Likewise but, funny story. On top of that . My mom is my best friend. Uh oh. Yeah. Oop theres the rescue text from my roommate saying she needs me. Wouldnt it be great if everyone said what they meant . The citi double cash card does. It lets you earn double cash back the citi double cash card. Wait. Wait. Perfect. At del monte, corn is packed at the peak of freshness with just water and a dash of sea salt. Nothing else. So its allnatural and delicious. Nothing else. The toothpaste that helps new parodontax. Prevent bleeding gums. If you spit blood when you brush or floss you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse. Help stop the journey of gum disease. Try new parodontax toothpaste. If youre about to throw away an old toy, a broken bicycle or an appliance on the fritz, hang on and watch our next story. A collection of special repair shops have popped up in several states and around the world, and they accept your challenge. Harry smith visits one in our sunday closer. Reporter every other month, in the basement of a Methodist Church in new falls, new york, volunteers gather to fix things. And everything they fix, they fix for free. This is a favorite. So im really thrilled she can fix it for me. Reporter its called a repair cafe. And the idea is exquisitely simple. Neighbor helping neighbor. Yeah that was way back then. Reporter john whatman started this cafe. As the idea grew, hes helped start other ideas up and down the hudson valley. The world that people use to describe repair cafe, i got something fixed or it was free, but i will tell you what the word they use the most often it was fun. Reporter it started in 2009. There are now 11 in 29 different countries. People bring an item and get it repaired, yes, theyre very grateful. On the other side of the table, the guys and gals that do the repair feel gratified as well. Reporter she makes the twohour trip to help out. I love being here. I love seeing them happy. Its simple to make people happy. Reporter we fix a lot of stuff. Things left in at ticks and garages. Things that just stop working. And what we marvelled at was the care. The meticulous painstaking care that goes into every repair. How pleased are you . Very. Very. Reporter songwriter Leonard Cohen once wrote there is a crack. A crack in everything.
