Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Were going to get to more of that cuteness a little later in the show. Politics first. Big wins last night for the front runners, defending their home turf in the New York Primary. Heres what happened. Donald trump picked up more than 60 of the republican vote. He crushed his rivals. John kasich came in second. More than 35 points behind. Ted cruz finishing a distant third. The criticism of new york values seeming to hurt him. Trumps win big enough to nearly sweep the delegates and improve his chances of avoiding a contested convention. Hillary clintons victory over Bernie Sanders was not quite as large but still a resounding double digit win for her. As expected, she padded her already sizable lead in delegates to inch closer to her partys nomination. This morning, both races are quickly shifting to the next major battlegrounds. Five states that are up for grabs next tuesday, including pennsylvania, a key state for trump. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander is in philadelphia with more on last nights results and whats ahead. Peter, good morning. Reporter hey, matt, savannah, good morning to you. These were overwhelming wins for Hillary Clinton and donald trump. The two front runners regaining the math and the momentum, looking polished and president ial during their remarks. Now looking ahead. New York New York reporter two anthems. New york reporter one big new york night for both Hillary Clinton. Theres no place like home. Reporter and donald trump. We love new york. Reporter trump trouncing his rivals. His first win with a majority of the vote. We are going to be so strong again, were going to be really, i mean, legitimately, so great again. Reporter after voting for himself for the first time, his wife doing so in style, the brash billionaire appearing increasingly disciplined. Touting his win without attacking his challenger as lying cruz. Senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. Reporter trump addressing his growing campaign staff. Downplaying reports of turmoil. Its a team of unity, evolving. People dont understand that. Reporter again casting himself as the outsider up against a rigged system. Its really nice to win the delegates with the votes. Reporter ted cruz, shut out. Now, my friends, onward to victory. Reporter earlier, mocking trumps complaints that the delegate system is unfair. Donald Trumps Campaign does not know how to organize on the grassroots. I cannot help that the Donald Trump Campaign does not seem capable of running a lemonade stand. Thank you, thank you. Reporter john kasich finishing second, still hoping to step into the ring at a contested convention in cleveland. Hillary clinton with renewed confidence. The race for the democratic nomination is in the homestretch and victory is in sight. Reporter after a bruising battle, an olive branch. To all the people who supported senator sanders, i believe there is much more that unites us than divides us. Reporter clinton, largely pivoting to the general election, lumping the gop contenders into one pile. Donald trump and ted cruz are pushing a vision for america thats divisive and, frankly, dangerous. Reporter for Bernie Sanders, a bitter defeat after this bold prediction a week ago. We will win a major victory here in new york next tuesday. Reporter changing his tone on election night. Were going to do just fine tonight in new york. Reporter overnight, the challenger refusing to give up. There are five primaries next week. We think were going to do well. Reporter back live outside now Independence Hall in philadelphia, pennsylvania. One of the five states voting next week. Numbers we found last night during the exit polls, 66 of new york democrats say the Bitter Campaign has energized their party. 59 of new york republicans say it has divided theirs. Matt and savannah . Peter alexander in philadelphia. Thank you. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press and mike murphy is a political analyst and former director of jeb bushs super pac rooi right to rise. Good morning. Morning. Weve seen something of a new incarnation of donald trump in the last couple weeks. Certainly, last night, the victory speech was more moderate in tone. Hes hiring real professionals, in terms of organization for his staff. We dont see as much of the name calling. Is he now at a point where he can rally some of the reluctant republicans behind him . I dont know if hes at the point theyre going to rally behind him, but he may stop the bleeding and he may at least get the get anybody thinking about joining the stop Trump Movement to give a pause. Because for look. What he did postwisconsin, the day after wisconsin, there was a lot of people declaring, maybe the stop Trump Movement is real. In 13 days, he turned his Campaign Around and put it back on the path to the nomination. Lets talk more about the stop Trump Movement. You know a little bit about that. Okay . Theres a lot of criticism. They simply didnt show up in new york. Did they decide, mike, that it was already lost to them . If not now, where . Where are they going to take a stand . My guess is they were intimidated by trumps hometown support. I think they had a chance in new york. He was able to run up the score here. The question is now for the new civilized Trump Campaign cannot make mistakes and run the table forward, and will stop trump come back to life, engage now and in indiana in two weeks . Which could be pivotal. Mike, what does this say about ted cruz as the official alternative to donald trump . He came in third last night. Yeah, no. Cruz had a bad night. I mean, kasich swept the Upper West Side of manhattan. He has bragging rights. Cruz isnt built to win this region. The Cruz Campaign and the Kasich Campaign have the same interests but they dont seem to cooperate, which is to not let trump get to 1,200 or more delegates. And try to stop him in an open convention. Its got to be a hard cam pane to run if youre cruz or kasich. Its not about energy or inspiration for cruz and kasich, its about hanging around. Its negative. The waiting for indiana thing is ridiculous. Lets talk about Hillary Clinton. Obviously, a resounding victory, for her last night. 16point win over Bernie Sanders. If youre Bernie Sanders waking up this morning for breakfast, you should be ordering, coffee, toast and a side of reality. Is he the kind of guy, know, who knows when the game is over . I dont know. Depends. If he got into the race the way a lot of people think he did, which is to be relevant, to lead a movement, to say, hey, my wing of the Democratic Party is a rising wing. You need to take notice. If he looks at the Playing Field and says, hey, ive done a lot here, i pushed Hillary Clinton. I may lose the nomination but win the idealogical war. If thats how he gets up this morning, thats a healthy place to be. He has kind of asymmetrical power. I dont think sanders can win the nomination, but he owns voters under 30. Be if they dont show up in the general election, and theyre a fickle group when it comes to turnout, it is a huge problem for her. She has to push him off the stage without putting on a darth vader helmet. Tricky, tricky thing. Do you think itll be helpful to republicans in the general . Yeah. I think the more that she grinds on him, the kind of push him out of the race, there could be a help for us in the general election. The main thing as a republican, how with either of our leading candidates can we win a general election . Itll be hard. Whats the biggest state to watch next week . Pennsylvania. Its the largest one. Look. Connecticut is a distant second, if youre going to stop trump or clinton. Connecticut is a fickle state. I disagree with chuck on indiana. Put indiana and nebraska and maine, you have almost as many delegates as new york. If trump wins indiana, i think hell be the nominee. Whats going to happen next week, though . Thats the problem. Two thirds of the pennsylvania delegates are n knotnot very sticky. They can do what they want. If trump can run up the score, the pressure on him, at least on the first ballot, which is everything for trump, will be hard. Run it up there. Maryland, which is a state trump has polled badly, ill be watching to see if he gets a boost off yesterday. Good to have you here. Thanks. Dont forget. Donald trump will be with us exclues ily tomorrow morning for a live town hall on the plaza. Wed like your questions for use. Trump today. Other news.

President obama arrived in saudi arabia this morning. The first stop on a threenation, sixday tour. The president s visit to riyadh coming amid growing tension with one of americas most important allies in the middle east. Nbcs ron allen is there. Ron, good morning. Reporter good morning, natalie. Yes, the president is here. Some very tough issues on the agenda as he sits down for meetings with the saudis. Many Americans Still deeply distrustful of the saudis. Many of the 9 11 families are now pushing president obama and angry that hes not supporting a bill that would allow them to file suit against the saudis, claiming damages. The president saying such a law would open americans abroad, servicemen and women, diplomats to retaliation. Some 9 11 families are also pushing the administration to declassify still secret portions of the 9 11 congressional investigation of those attacks. The administration saying intelligence agencies are reviewing whether to declassify the information. Families and some members of congress believe there might be information there being kept secret implicating the saudi government. Through this all, the administration emphasizes previous investigations said there have been no connections between the saudi government and the events of 9 11. Through all that, also on the agenda, issues involving isis and the fight against terrorism. The president , we believe, will push the saudis to do more, something theyve been reluctant to do in the past. As the United States ramps up its efforts against terrorism in the middle east. Finally, those issues are going to be somewhat uncomfortable here but the president will move on tomorrow to a much more enjoyable meeting, perhaps. Hes going to great britain. The highlight will be lunch with Queen Elizabeth as she celebrates her 90 birthday. Natalie . Ron allen in saudi arabia, thank you. Michigans attorney general today is expected to announce the first criminal charges stemming from the flint water crisis. Flint residents were exposed to high levels of lead for more than a year after the citys Drinking Water source was changed to save money. Michigans governor is trying to reassure residents that the citys filtered tap water is safe. Pledging to drink it himself for the next 30 days. The worst may be yet to come in houston where record rainfall flooded more than 1,000 homes and businesses. At least seven deaths are blamed on the high water. Creeks are still rising and there is a threat of more rain there today. We thought we were okay. Last night we went to bed, and the water had receded. There was no rain.

Its now harriette, natalie. If youre struggling with brutal allergies more than usual, youre not alone. Its so rough this spring, some are even saying is this the worst allergy season ever . Of course people say that every year. Dr. Mehmet oz is here with some answers and remedies. Doc, good morning, to good to see you. Good morning, matt. We should, you know is there any way to actually calculate and measure how bad an allergy season is so you can declare it the worst season ever . They measure it. They have little rods that collect pollen and measure the amount of pollen on there. You cant guess ahead of time, for sure. Its the warmest yeartodate, ever, so we predict because of the warm weather that plants dont go so dormant. Depending on what part of the country youre on, youll get bad problems with trees right now and slowly over the later spring, itll move to grasses. And then by the end of the summer, weeds all over the place. Tree pollen as you mention now. Lets talk about ways to keep it off you. Its not easy. But its doable. Number one trick, literally cover yourself up. You can have broad rimmed hat. This would look good on al roker. Think hed wear this . Probably would. Fashion glasses. So even with blowing wind, it keeps it out of your eyes. Yeah. And keep the windows closed when you travel around. You can be smart, especially if you know the season will have a lot of pollen, in preventing it from getting near you. So once it gets on you, get it off of you . A couple obvious ideas. Women dont think about their hair and the fact its a magnet for pollen. Never go to bed at night with pollen in your hair because youre basting your face in it all night. Wipe your eyes. They had pollen and allergies 2,000 years ago. Pour this over your nose. Warm water and salt, and wash out your sinuses. You brush your teeth, right . Wash your nose out. Get it off your sheets and curtains if you possibly can. With the windows open, thats where it settles, as well. Once a week. Audit your home. You have to wash your sheets in warm water. Take the clothes off when you get home. Make sure you wash them once a week. Also look for mold. Its a big, confusing factor. It can also give you allergies on top of the seasonal allergies. Lets talk about remedies. Overthecounter medications, are you a fan . Big fan but you have to take them early. Half hour before you expect symptoms, take the nasal sprays or antihistamines. If you go to the allergist and have a shot or tablets, 80 , 90 success rates. You have to do it ahead of time. Make the visit. Im not going to do a commercial for a particular brand. I take one pill over the counter every single morning and its been great, even though i have allergies i havent felt it this year. Heres a handkerchief, just in case. Appreciate it. Dr. Oz, thank you. Catch his show weekdays, check your local listings. Up next, a heartstopping stunt involving that guy and a race car. Its going to leave you speechless. Plus, theyre a dynamic duo. Why dont tina fey and amy poehler Work Together more often . You might be surprised about what tina has to say about that. You might be surprised what your kids say about the technology theyre using and why they use it so much. First, on a wednesday morning, these messages. Getting roid rage. Hemorrhoid.

Ive wanted to. 1950s, it was popular, thanks to the educator wood. Then the commercials started running. Thats what i remember. All kinds of techniques. Look at the guys with the fingers on the page. They could read a whole book in an hour. It was amazing. Guess what . Doesnt work. Bad news for these school kids everywhere. Experts say Speed Reading just simply doesnt cut it. They insist its extremely unlikely that you can increase your reading speed without missing a lot of meaning. In other words, you just dont comprehend. What youre really doing is skimming, not reading. Yeah. This doesnt work . Is that what youre saying . Yeah. There was a program called sra. I remember that. Speed reading associates. Back in the old days, it was written on the side of a shovel. Terrific. Weve often talked about the benefits of getting up early. Were proponents around here, of course. If you are the type to stay up late and sleep in, science found there are benefits for you, too. There is from a study published in psyhycology today. Late sleepers are more likely to be innovative and progressive thinkers because theyre going against the bodys Natural Inclination to go to sleep around 11 00 and wake up account about 7 00. Youre a night owl, right . I am. I guess the point is, sleep at some point is good. Thats ariana huffingtons push, as well. At some point, you have to get it . Get the seven hours. I think its the idea that people have more creative jobs perhaps. Theyre the ones, the hours are driving that sleep schedule anyway. Curious, we get up in the neighborhood at 4 00 on a weekd weekday. What time do you get up on the weekend . I sleep in until 6 00. Im losing it at 7 00. 8 00. Kids, go watch cartoons. You get up at 5 00, right . 5 15. Without anlarm a clock, just natural . Yeah. Although, i like the morning on the weekends. Anybody here do a back flip, standing on the ground . No. Not and survive it, no. Not even close. Ill show you a guy who not only can he do a backflip, but its over a speeding race car. That was the practice. Heres the real deal. Oh, my gosh do you believe that . Is that real . If he goes a little too early, he comes down on the car. Goes a little too late, well how does he know . There is a debeep that goes f when the car passes a certain point. So frightening. How many fails have there been . They only practice it with the car alongside it, never behind him. This was the seventh guy. You should see the other sixth. Thank you, mr. Roker. Now to why a politician is offering johnny depp acting device. And tina fey said a tv show with amy poehler isnt in the cards. When we thought we were over with the Johnny Depp Doggate controversy, a lot of people are weighing in. The apology video he and his wife amber heard seemed to be forced into for the australian authorities. Now, the countrys deputy Prime Minister is offering his review of the performance. Barnby said depp looked like he was auditioning for the godfather. Also offered this advice, do it with gusto, mate. A bit of gusto. Come on, rise to the camera. That was my australian accent. I think that was the point. This is not to make light of it, but they were so just get through it. Whatever. Raise the camera up, too. What an angle. Up the nose. They still got the light sentence. Without having the convincing apology. Next to one of our favorite duos, tina fey and amy poehler, whether theyre hosting snl or starring in movies. Theyre asked, why dont you do tv shows together . Great question. Tina says it probably wont happen. At the tribeca film festival, she said, were both alphas. It works in short spurts, but i dont know if it would make a real dynasty. Id love to see it though. I know. To thine own self be i wonder why we know that. As we all hold our breath. Moving on. This will make you smile today. Chrissy teigen sharing the first photo of her newborn baby. Lulu with hubby john legend. The baby five days. Thats a fiveday picture after giving birth. Chrissy posting the picture to her ig account using the babys nickname, hi, my lulu. The bulldog not sharing the familys joy. Look at that picture. The dog is giving the side eyes because it knows whats coming up. Matt and al are dying to say, is there a baby in that picture . I dont know what youre talking about. Im going to go back to the weather right now. The look on your faces. Weve been working together way too long. I need this job. I cant say anything. You also need to go home. When i saw that yesterday on instagram, i thought the same thing. Wow. Thats your pop start. All righty. Okay. Heavy rain in dallas. Unfortunately, look at this area bowing out toward houston, where they do not need any more rain. But it is coming. The cyprus creek is near cyprus, already crested near record levels. Its probably going to stay high after this. The next two days, were talking about upwards of three to four inches of rain, just to the east of houston, on up into central louisiana. Just not great news. Then as you can see, it continues to move east. This actually, this wet weather starts to make its way thursday into the ohio river valley, Lower Mississippi river valley. And by friday, its actually along the eastern seaboard. Heaviest rain will be right in the midatlantic. But there will be pretty good downpours in the new york city we have sunshine and nice weather all across the bay area and a chilly start. Following a cool start, we will have a lot of sunshine and get ready for a very nice afternoon. Its now 58 degrees in San Francisco and the trivalley with a high today up to 83 degrees in the trivalley. San francisco 72 degrees. North bay more of the same. A few clouds mixing in as a weak storm system passes farther to the north. Low 80s for the peninsula and the south bay with a light breeze kicking onshore as we go into this evening.

Com to learn more about our nations great National Parks. We cannot wait. Savannah and i got a really special location. Were going to a trip together. Thank you so much. If you have kids, they love technology. According to a recent report, teens spend about nine hours a day using media for their enjoyment. Some 13yearolds check social media a hundred times a day. They want you to know why they do it. Here to help make sense of it is a child and adolescent psychologist, dr. Jennifer hartstien. Good morning. A lot of parents go, that is a lot of time on social media and checking the device. What are we not understanding from teens and tweens . This is a good thing and a bad thing. Its unchartered territory for all of us. I think what the tweens and the teens want us to know is this is how their life is. They are the first generation all electronic. This is how their relationships are, through the phones and the computers. We talked with tweens who shared some of their stresses about social media and the like. Take a listen. My friends have made plans and theyve posted it on social media, and i find out through that. It really makes me upset. If i look at their instagram posts, ill see what theyre doing. Sometimes, they dont text me about it. One time, my friend sent me a picture, and they were posting it on social media apps about a birthday party. I felt really left out. Its kind of this new spin on something that lots of tweens have felt over the ages, being left out. As a parent, youve got a few tips. One of them is take some time out. Right. We as adults are also on a lot of social media and on our devices a lot. We want to model what it looks like, and we want to really set limits for the tweens so they can walk away and not be so involved and invested that they respond inappropriately, act out of the wrong urge. Its important to know what your tween can handle. Theyre still little. They are still little. And some tweens really arent ready. Though they want it, you as a parent know what theyre ready for. Trust that. Finally, learn it with them. Learn it with them. The apps are changing all the time. You dont know what theyre doing. Have them teach you. I sit in my office and have the kids that see me teach me to use the apps all the time. You learn what theyre doing and what they know. Thats really helpful. Lets get the teen perspective. Roll some tape. Everything i do practically resolves around it. Thats how we communicate with our friends and teachers and get our work done. Thats how our life is. I use it too often and it distracts me with my schoolwork. Couldnt keep my grades up without it. I probably would have no plans with my friends. I feel like everything i do, like sadly, is based over a computer or through my phone. Its so hard to communicate with my friends if i cant text them. I would not pick up the phone to call a friend and have a conversation. This is now what people do, and this is how we communicate. This is the new normal. Number one tip for teens, be knowledgeable. Right. Be knowledgeable about what theyre doing, who theyre talking with, what apps theyre using. Theyll be ahead of you, try to stay current. Let them know, youll watch what they do online. And you want to be able to trust them. Thats also important. Dont stop talking. We think that teens know it all. They dont know how much theyre on. If you ask them, theyd probably tell you less than they are. Keep the conversation open. Keep that communication going. Finally, getting out from behind the screens. We want to relate as humans still. So hard. We dont know if were putting them at a disservice by staying behind the screens. Find time to get out from behind it. Have in reallife interaction. Parents can model it, too. Thank you. Lets go over to matt. Thanks very much. Ill be withim. Anim new details. Topvo good wednesday morning at 8 26. Im sam brock. We have new details on a big rig crash weve been following all morning long, but it caused widespread backups in the east bay this morning on interstate 880. Within the past few minutes, the chp did reopen all lanes of southbound traffic, but northbound closures remain in effect. The chp says this was one of two crashes in the same area this morning. Crews had to remove the big rig that was straddling the highway median. At least one other vehicle was involved in that big rig crash. The driver of the car suffered major injuries. We get the very latest now on the commute from mike inouye. This is adding hours to some peoples commute. This is really a bad situation. The trailer you showed was the second of two. And that car, that van smashed into another trailer that was there earlier this morning on the opposite side of the freeway. Now the southbound lanes are clear, but look how much its jammed. From san leandro in towards union city. The northbound side still has two lanes blocked and thats a distraction because theyre trying to remove that cab you showed from the roadway, so thats a big issue. Both directions, fremont, union city and hayward are all affected. The south bay really has seen traffic kick in and so is the peninsula, so slowing through palo alto and parts of 101. No drama toward the bay bridge, but its still backed up. Back to you. Very bad situation there, mike. Thank you very much. Well have more updates coming up in a half hour. Hi, everybody. Its 8 30.

Sunny skies along the eastern seaboard with temperatures at or above seasonal levels. They continue warm out west, as well.

It also has a home use, where you can remove the water. Then the scrub on the run that one is a little slippery can be hung in the shower.

Creator of the blog, seriously delicious. I love fried rice. Who doesnt . This seemed to me to be a little complicated. You say its not. Its not. It sounded complicated but its very, very simple and quick. Look at the ingredients. We have boneless, skinless chicken, chinese sausage, a sweet, dried sausage, snow peas, cornstarch. Ill get started with the sauce. Okay. Ill put soy sauce with the cornstarch. Does cornstarch clump up . It does so start with a liquid and whisk it until the lumps get out. To this, im going to add ginger. Freshly chopped ginger. Some sesame oil, which is nutty and delicious. Then, yeah, you can add that. That is the sriracha, which i love. Then a pinch of salt. Then were going to whisk that all up and add our chicken. Im going to use tongs today but sometimes at home, i like to use these gloves. I get it. Im a tong guy. Then were going to kind of coat everything in a pie plate. Ill tell you why were using a pie plate in a second. This is breast of chicken . Yes. Boneless, skinless. Heres our chinese sausage. Coat that all up. Then were going to use an interesting cooking method. Ill tell you the tasters are downstairs already. So good, siri. We love it. Good. I like that it has a kick to it, the sriracha. Very good. These are mason jar lids. I put it in a deep skillet. Creating a steamer. Exactly. Ill take the pie plate. More coated. Well pretend. The lid on and it cooks for five to six minutes. Thats it. Thats enough for the chicken . Exactly. Over here, its already cooked. We add our snow peas. Then were going to cook it for two minutes more. Its got a good amount of liquid in there. Seems like the chicken has sweated a little bit. Exactly. If you dont like snow peas, add mushrooms, whatever you want. Thats the chicken part with the sauce. Now the rice. Fried rice. Bay son, some this is sambal, a chunkier hot sauce. You use the same pan with the bacon to cook the eggs . Yeah. Here, peanut oil and ginger that ill cook until it smells and gets delicious. You add the leftover rice. I mean, thats great for a lot of families. You dont want it to go to wa t waste. Its better with leftover rice. Its almost more dehydrated. Makes for a crispier fried rice. Here, oyster sauce and chicken broth. More soy. More sesame oil. That sampabal. Im going to whisk it together. Add the bacon and the egg. Frozen peas and the scallions. All right. Then im going to add my sauce. This is going to cook up for how long . Like five to six minutes again. Guys downstairs . Final verdict . Real hit. I love the bacobacon. Chicken is moist. Im.

I belong to a Theater Company that did a one act. My friend josh wrote it. Then we asked him to make it into a screenplay because it was just a really touching story. We had gone to see the play with my brother. Our friend david was in the play, the original incarnation. We asked him to be in the movie. It was just a very special time for us to spend time with him. Because hes no longer with us. Its an, in loving memory of him, as well. Looking at your face, danny, youre beaming.

Theyre both really supportive of me. Now, its great. Were like working together. Hopefully, got more coming. Its a love story. Its sweet, even though its curmudgeonly. At the end its funny but also moving and sends a positive message about people loving each other and families. I think we need more of that. Danny, youve seen the Business Inside and out. Did you ever discourage lucy to get into acting . No, no. I feel you need to find out what makes you feel excited and what youre happy with. Its going to be with you for the rest of your life. You might as well go for it. I never discouraged it. She was in high school doing plays. Always good on stage. You know, you sit back and let it happen. I think shes bitten by the bug now. Yeah.

Tell us about this, tom. What was it like filming this movie . This is based on the jj ballard novel which is a huge hit. Its become a classic of some standing. Its set in this tower block in 1975. But its also quite futuristic. So its very stylized. Initially its seductive and glamorous like an ocean liner disappearing over the horizon. After a file the residents kind of yield to their darker instincts. On film but i also understand off camera on the set there was a bit of chaos. You were all staying in a hotel apparently.

We all had different ways. Wine. There was a lot of wine. We shot it in Northern Ireland even though its set in london. It was across the summer of a couple of years ago. It was a lovely incredibly beautiful place to be. Its where they shoot game of thrones. The landscape there is very nice. Its nice to look at the sea. There is one scene in the film, an autopsy scene. I understand you nearly passed out. Not the actual scene but i went to watch an autopsy for real in a hospital in england. Its one of those things where as an actor if youre playing a musician, you want musicians to appreciate your musicianship. I wanted doctors and medical practitioners to actually watch it and go, yes, thats how you do it. I had to perform a dissection of a cadaver. A head. A head, yeah.

Now shes starring opposite Charlize Theron in the huntsman. Emily tackles the most challenging role of her career as the emotionally damaged Rachel Watson in the girl on the train. Good morning. So excited to have you here and so excited about the girl on the train. I am a huge fan. I read the book. In like a day, yeah. You said this role was the most challenging for you. How is this role more challenging . Shes just one of the most damaged people ive ever played, someone who struggled with addiction daily and also shes this obsessive, voyeuristic person who obsesses over this couple on the train every day. Also youre in a thriller. Its not just a portrait of alcoholism. You are having to propel a story that is intense and dark and fig frightening. Were about to get an exclusive look at the trailer. Set the scene. The shes divorced, shes been fired. Her life is falling apart. You set it very well. Shes a raging alcoholic. That was the appeal to me that the main protagonist is the most unreliable witness in this potential murder because she is an alcoholic and she doesnt quite remember what happened that night. She could be a suspect. Theres about five other people that could be a suspect. Shes just trying to grasp at what happened. That idea of voyeurism of obsessing about peoples live who is live on a train. I think weve all done that. When youre traveling with people, youre wondering where they come from, why they are the way they are. Lets see it. The embodiment of true love. I saw her. I saw her from the train. Is this her . What happened that night . How could you tell me the truth. So gripping. Not creepy at all. It is so good. Boy, that really lives up to the book. I know the movie certainly will as well. Lets talk about snow white and the hundr huntsman. Im the good sister. I dont know if shes all good. Icy. I play Charlize Therons sister. It becomes sort of this battle of the queens in this film. But i dont know many people whod want to go up against charlize. You hold your own. Your beautiful twoyearold daughter is going to be a big sister. Congratulations. Thank you so much. This is not just a breakfast burrito. How is hazel taking the news . Coming around, i think. She has no choice at this point the it is happening. Congratulations. You look amazing.

Lisa nichols is in the business of inspiration. Shes a bestselling author and founder of motivating the masses inc. Her book is abundance now. Amplify your life and achieve prosperity today. How is this for an endorsement . Steve harvey writes the forward for lisas book. He says hes in awe of her wisdom. I couldnt agree more. Thank you, guys. Were talking about abundance of life from the inside out but youve made a transformation on the outside. You said, whats different about me . I said, your hair. You said, i lost 85 pounds. Yes. When i realized that the catalyst to it was the emotion. There was a reason i put it on. I stopped looking at the what to do, eat less and work out. I looked at, why did i put the weight on . At the core of everything is what r we thiare we thinking . What is the story were telling ourselves . I was ready to release it after that. The word abundance might not be the type people are thinking of. Its not material abundance. Matter of fact, i challenge how we look at abundance. We have a myth that abundance is about possessions and wealth and money. While thats one piece, abundance is a 360 experience. Its the quality of your relationships. Its the quality of your health. Its your spiritual awareness. And its finance. But abundance is something that comes all the way. I have wealthy friends who really dont consider their lives abundant because theyre out of relationship with their children. Right. I challenge all those areas and teach you in the book how to create in each category of your life an abundant experience. Lets go through some of the categories. People want to know how to replicate it. What do you do first . Number one will sound crazy because people think youre doing it. Give yourself permission to have it. We measure our future based on the past, and theyre not connected. Give yourself permission. Be bold enough to give your permission to have the abundance you say you want. The love you say you want. Women say, i want love, but question it every time a good guy comes around. Give yourself permission. Thats number one. You need an action plan but also one you hold yourself accountable to. Absolutely. You need bitesized, digestible pieces. We have big goals. Create micro goals so youre able to see them and celebrate them. Sooner, quicker, faster. Unlevel your community. What does that mean . Have friends and associates around youiptoe. You cant be the best in your tribe. You can be the best here but then go here i say tribe. They make you want to be a better man. Make you want to be a better woman. Do i make you feel that way . Every day. Thanks. My life is abundant because i have tamron hall. Thank you, lisa. The book is abundance now. Back in a moment.
