Howling today, november 29 mtth, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this sunday morning. Im erica hill. Glad to have you with us, im craig melvin with Sheinelle Jones and dylan dreyer. We have a lot of folks heading home, or trying to head home, on this sunday. Weather making it a little tough. Lingering effect. That is our top story this morning. As you and millions of other people return home from your holiday trip, many of you will likely encounter our huge wintry storm that is crippleing much of the country. Icecovered roads caused crashes in oklahoma. In kansas, cars careening off highways there, killing at least four people. Meanwhile, in texas, this was the scene. Slick conditions caused a tracker trailer to slam into an out outback steak house. Rehema ellis is at laguardia this morning. The crowds are building here at Laguardia Airport for the start of what could be a long day for many, expecting a crush of holiday travelers. Reporter youll need suitcases full of patience to get through the nations airports. Expect long lines due to higher security. Heightened security. Theres a bigger presence. Reporter the number of passengers could lengthen the time in the terminal. Aaa estimates 3. 6 million flying this thanksgiving season. We got here three hours early to make sure were not going to miss our flight. Rather take my time and not stress out. Reporter the highways are crowded, too. 42 million on the roads. Drivers got an early holiday gift with gas averaging 2. 15 a gallon. The lowest pump prices for the thanksgiving holiday in seven years. Too expensive to fly. You cant take the dog. Guys all right . Reporter for some, ice, traveling treacherous, asstretched across the middle of the country. If you dont need to travel, stay home. Itll get worse as temperatures continue to drop. Millions of people do need to travel today. The hope is that the weather, at least, will cooperate. Craig . Rehema ellis for us. Thank you. Dylan is tracking the weather for your traveling today across the country. The ice accumulating through the Southern Plains accumulated up to 1 2 inch in oklahoma. Its been falling in this same area for the last almost several days. Its that cold air working in. Were losing the heavier freezing rain now. Now, the focus is shifting to just regular heavy rain through eastern texas. This will stretch up into arkansas through the day. If youre traveling this morning, especially along i35, thats where were going to see the very icy conditions. Remember the overpasses and the bridges . Because they freeze on the top makes those extremely slippery. On and off ramps, as well. If youre traveling alosscross i40 in tennessee, itll be a wet go, with patch thiy areas of fog. This is not the only storm. Cold air and an area of low pressure is developing, and the next winter storm is bringing the possibility of more snow and ice through parts of the plains. Early monday, heavier snow will take hold through omaha, nebraska, and works up into minneapolis, where snowfall rates could be 1 to 2 inches per hour. South Central Minnesota and iowa, were looking at the possibility of 8 to 10 inches of snow right on the heels of the last cold blast. It is going to be a messy start to the work week, too. That it will. Dylan, thank you. To the latest of the deadly shooting and the fivehour standoff at a planned parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs. New information is emerging about the suspect and what might have triggered his deadly rampage. Nbcs National CorrespondentMiguel Almaguer is in Colorado Springs. The Shopping Center where this went down is cordened off. Its an active crime scene. This as were learning more about the suspect and what some say was clearly his motive. Reporter after robert dear was taken into custody, a Law Enforcement source says he began ranting about president obama, politics and abortion. Police have not released a motive for the shooting that injured nine and left three dead here, but now officials at the Colorado Springs planned parenthood say they believe the 57yearold targeted the facility because he opposed abortion. Its hate speech going on in our country right now that could be causing more violence than we might otherwise see. Reporter dear recently moved to the town. He lived with a woman in a run down trailer that had no water, sewer system or electricity. Described as reclusive, even in a small town, few knew him. Not real personable. Quiet, to his own. Reporter with dear scheduled to be in court monday, overnight, this community grieved together. But now i see reporter officer Garrett Swasey gave his life trying to save others. A champion figure skater who grew up with nancy kerrigan. One of my best friends. Reporter the young father of two was always a standout cop. He rushed into the gunfire. His wife is so proud of her husband. Yeah. She knew she knew what he loved to do, and she knew the risks. Reporter theres not just heartbreak here, but also guilt. You could see it, you could smell it. Reporter she hunkered down five hours as the gunman hunkered down with police. Her boyfriend is still missing. She fears hes one of the unidentified still dead. I wish i could have held on to him ten more seconds. Thats how fast it happened. When robert dear was taken into custody, he muttered the words, no more baby parts, referring to the Abortion Services offered at the clinic. Police have not identified a motive. They apparently are still asking the question, why . So many questions this morning. Miguel, thank you. The 2016 president ial candidates are returning to the campaign trail in full force today. It comes with republican front runner donald trump still defending himself against charges he mocked a reporter who had a disability and a fellow journalist, telling us, trump is lying. Kristen welker joins us from the white house with the latest. Good morning. Good morning to you. This morning, a former former named susie parker. She doesnt believe trumps claim that he doesnt remember Serge Kovaleski because she witnessed them interact firsthand. Trump is standing by his assertions, and hes the one demanding an apology. Reporter donald trump, defiant saturday, denying he mocked New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski who has a con congenital joints disorder. I would never mock a person that has disabilities. Reporter it started with an article kovaleski wrote in 2001, to back up his claims that thousands of muslims in new jersey celebrated on 9 11, when. When he said his article didnt backup trump, he spoke out. Reporter the New York Times called trumps behavior outrageous. Trump said the paper owes him an apology, arguing he doesnt remember kovaleski and wasnt making fun of him. The person said, i know him. I know him. I said, when . In the 19d 880s. Thats a long time. Thats a long time ago. This man is lying. Reporter in her first oncamera interview, susie parker, a friend of kovaleskis during the 80s and fellow reporter, said kovaleski introduced her to trump. I thought they knew each other. It was a very cordial, friendly meeting of people who knew each other. Reporter parker is a selfdescribed democrat but is speaking out to set the record straight about trumps assertion that he doesnt remember kovaleski. I said, this guy is an outright liar. Introduced me to him, and they were all on a first name basis. They know each other. Reporter kovaleski also tells nbc news he was on a first name basis with mr. Trump. Saying he talked to the real estate mogul at least a dozen times when covering his career in the late 80s for the new york daily news. Now, parker says its important others know she doesnt buy trumps claim he wasnt mocking her friend. Citing these images, now widely circulated online. You do not forget serge. Im sorry, he imitated, he mocked him. There is zero questions. Now, we reached out to the Trump Campaign for reaction. His spokesperson reiterated trump has repeatedly insisted he doesnt remember kovaleski and had nothing further to add. Trump weathered so many wlit cal political fire storms. It remains to be seen whether this will be different. Thanks. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press. Good morning. Good to see you, as always, my friend. Donald trump said things now that are offensive to the Muslim Community, offensive to women, offensive to the hispanic community. This time, hes poking fun at someone who lives with a disability. How real is the concern that even if hes not the nominee, this is the kind of thing that sticks to the gop brand long term . Well, look, you talk to republican operatives and theyre fearful of this. They believe that if you go and do some qualitative research, focus grouping, its been coming up. Middle of the road voters are attributing trump to the republican brand. Not to trump itself. There are some republican operatives with other campaigns who believe, this is all trump and voters can discern the antics of trump from the brand of the republican party. But the longer trump is the front runner, the more there is risk. Lets talk about number two in iowa, ted cruz. Appears to be surging in the to what can we attribute the rise of ted cruz . Number one, hes put together probably the best organization on the conservative side of things than any of the other candidates. Better than trumps, better than carsons, better than anybody else in the lane. Thats number one. Number two, hes benefitted more so if you look at the pops for cruz, its come at the expense of dr. Carson. What changed . Paris changed, craig. I think that you have voters who, in particular, evangelicals that liked dr. Carson and their second choice is cruz. The more carson is insteadunsteady on National Security issues, theyve been shopping for another candidate. Thats where they land with cruz. Lets talk about his troubles. Ben carson in jordan visiting syrian refugees, apparently told the Associated Press the camps arent that bad and that the refugees dont really want to come to the United States anyway. Is this the kind of trip that is going to help ben carsons Foreign Policy . It better. The campaign knows he needs it. I just debriefed with him myself on what he learned in jordan. I think that thats why they did this trip. Its symbolic. Its obvious its symbolic. Hes also put out a tv ad associated with the trip, associated with the refugee issue. I think they know they have to pass a commander in chief test. As we talked about earlier, i think right now, hes been flubbing it, this is why hes seen a downturn in the polls. Chuck todd, always good to see you. Thank you, sir. You got it, craig. Watch meet the press this morning when donald trump and ben carson will be among chucks guests. President obama heads to paris today for the Global Climate conference there. A little more than two weeks after riss sterrorists attacked the city.

Pope francis is in the African Republic this morning. Landing in the capital moments ago. Its his final stop in africa, as he calls for peace in a country wrapped with conflict between muslims and christians. An thompson is Anne Thompson is following pope francis on his trip. Youd never know this was the most dangerous part of the popes africa trip. Look at his face this morning. The central African Republic, that has been the center of a bloody conflict thats killed 2013. Reporter the capital city is a mix of force and trappings to protect pope francis who comes for peace. Francis is the first pope to visit an active war zone. This nation is suffering from more than two years of bloody battle between muslim rebels and christians. Displacing a quarter of its people, many of them children. The popes visit is a great opportunity, not only to bring the attention on the car situation, but to bring the attention on the children. Reporter today, francis visited a refugee camp. Tomorrow, hell meet with muslims at a mosque in one of the citys most dangerous neighborhoods. On the plane to africa, francis own safety, saying he was more worried about the mosquitos. In kenya and uganda, security has been very visible. There have been few of the spontaneous moments that are the hallmark of francis papacy. Still, this has been a very joyous trip. On a continent where the Catholic Church is alive and growing. Later today, francis will knock on the door of banguis theater, starting the holy year of mercy in a city of conflict. Erica . Anne, thank you.

The alvin ailey theater has captivated audiences in six countries. The woman who played a pivotal role in the theaters success. Its impossible to think about the alvin ailey Dance Theater without mentioning Judith Jamison. We talked with her, celebrating 50 years on the job. The reason you remember seeing the dances is, yes, theyre fabulous. They have extraordinary technique. But there is something that touched you inside deeply, and thats what mr. Ailey was about. Reporter back in 1958, at a new york city ymca, on the cusp of the civil rights movement, alvin ailey had a vision and founded the alvin ailey american Dance Theater. There were prejudices and biases going on in this country. When he formed a company that said, yes, i will celebrate our africanamerican experience, and our cultural expression. Alvin ailey said beautifully, dance coming from the people and should always be delivered back to the people. That accessibility that celebrates our common humanity stage for the first time in nearly a decade. She turned it into this brilliant piece. And she trusts me to carry the torch. Reporter jamison is still active with the company but pass td torch to robert battle. She took the company to heights mr. Ailey probably went, wow, this doesnt feel like a job, it feels like a calling. Reporter battle is forever grateful for Judith Jamison who is, in many ways, like a mother to him now. In fact, a lot of dancers feel that way. Shes like the glue that holds everything together. Seeing her comes so many other images, you know, of the past and of alvin, of history. So often, we think in order to go forward, we have to let go of the past. I think you bring it with you. Its the only way forward. I have never believed in in a door closes, then another door will open. I believe that if the door closes, build a frame so you can get a door and open it for yourself. What are your dreams for this company . Always aspiring upward. Always learning new things. We dont survive unless we have something to say. Boy, do we have something to say, and weve been saying it for a long time. Well continue to do so.

Into the seventh round, i still didnt get the call. I watched the whole draft and i waited until the very last kid to get picked. Reporter he was bestouwed with the title of mr.

Reporter not so far from cape cod on a chilly, fall morning, fifth generation cranberry farmer sue gilmore knows the clock is ticking. Only so many days to get the crop . Cold days, cold nights, they turn red. Thats how you get this . Thats how you get this beautiful color, the red. Reporter when the cranberries are ripe, the bog is flooded and a contraption shakes the berries loose and they float to the surface. Until you come out and you actually see it, you dont realize what its like. What goes into it. You can talk about it, you can bring it to them, but its like anything, if youre here, you really get a sense of really what its like. Especially the harvest. This is what we work all year long for. Reporter what its like is as pretty as a picture. Just about as beautiful a harvest as there is. The berries get corralled, where they get slurped off the surface. Soon, headed to the juice aisle for a holiday dinner table. Its a proud moment. For us, its a legacy, and its part of kind of the fabric of who we are. Reporter who they are, are people who work hard and love it. If the sun is shining, the water is clear, the berries are right . My job is to get them off the table. Reporter sues brotherinlaw kirby says, when the harvest is done, you can catch your breath. We work seven days a week from beginning of april all the way until the middle of november. After that, we only work five days a week. Reporter catch your breath and count your blessings. Good feeling. To know i am in there were people before me, my ancestors took care of it. So i take care of it for them. It means a lot to me. Reporter as it will, no doubt, to those who follow. Weve got cranberries from sues bog. Andrea joyce made this with secret ingredients.
