Nuclear action to get him confirmed. And willie conversation with luke bryan, this morning how losing his brother as a teenager had him chasing a career. Did you feel like you had to grow up pretty quickly when that happened . It makes you feel like chasing dreams, youre like, hey, you get one goaround with this thing called life. Its very fragile so you better go after your dreams. Thats a sunday sitdown you wont want to miss. Lets begin with washington. All of it as President Trump tries to turn the topic away from russia. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is live at the white house for us this morning, kelly, good morning. Good morning, halle, President Trump with his tweet is clearly irritated about the swirling Russian Investigation and whether anyone close to him had any contact with russia but this week the white house will have to rely on someone outside of itself. Turning to Senate Republicans with the promise to confirm the president S Supreme Court nominee. Reporter searching for a victory. And it involves one of my most important actions as president. Reporter with the movie trailerstyle message, the president is making a glossy sale for hiS Supreme Court pick. Judge gorsuch is incredibly qualified. Reporter but a major fight is ahead for this weeks expected confirmation vote. Saturday, Vice President mike pence ployed the hammer and headed to ohio where he called out an Ohio Democratic senator opposings neil gorsuch. Your very own senator Sherrod Brown plan to filibuster judge gorsuchs nomination. Reporter and made clear republicans will take a drastic stipulate forcing a change to senate rules if necessary. We will overcome the obstructionists and the United States senate will confirm judge kneel gorsuch one way or the other. Reporter President Trump did not leave the white house on saturday but used his twitter megaphone to bash media and the Russian Investigations. Same fake news media, pushing the phony russia story. A total scam. But documents shed light on Michael Flynn and his business ties to russia. Nbc news obtained two sets of flynns Financial Disclosure documents. He listed three Public Companies that paid for him public peeking engagements and so did a turkish businessman. An ironic twist, flynn also stated 5,000 consulting for the fbi. The bureau is now investigating Russian Investigation meddling. Overall, working for dozens of company, flynn reported income of close to 1. 3 million. Flynn has become so identified with the controversy voters in South Carolina listened to Lindsey Graham to find out what really happened. Were going to talk about the flynn deal. Its getting weirder by the day, isnt it . And just other indications about concerns about the Russian Investigation are expanding outside of washington. The Associated Press has a new poll showing of those contacted more than 52 said its time for an independent investigation impaired to just 23 . That, of course, will take a lot longer, halle than those on capitol hill. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press. Hes with us. Chuck, good morning to you. Good morning, halle. President trump is calling this story fake news, youve got republicans like Lindsey Graham saying theyre not going to ease up on the investigation. New revelations about mike flynn. Let me put it this way, its opening day in baseball, what inning are we in with russia, chuck . I think were only in the second or third inning at this point. Look, the Senate Investigation is going to be methodical and its going to take months and yes, its possible that the political pressure will get so ugly on capitol hill where well have an independent investigation. Where that would mean in instead of months is it will take years but this is a challenge for the west wing, halle, where you spend so much time these days. They have got and the president himself, obviously, hes consumed by the russia story because you call have to do is look at his twitter account to do. He has to borough a page from the bill clinton pages. He may have been seething about it behind the scenes, but he compartmentalized for better or for worse. And he tried to find a way to put it in a box and focus on other things. In fact, that that was sort of his way, he would sit there and dismiss questions about the investigation and say im focused on the agenda for the american people. Somehow, the west wing has to get their arms around the russia investigation. Get the president to accept the fact that it exists, and compartmentalize it and focus somewhere else. Until he does that, its going to consume. Heres what he wanted to be talking about his nominee for the supreme court, neil gorsuch. Were waiting to see this shape out on capitol hill. How bad is the fight going to be especial eye with democrats trying to block this thing . Look, incorporate its going to be noisy, and neil gore vuch gorsuch is going to have new title. If you look at what happened in 2016 with the Merrick Garland investigation, republicans went way out on a limb to deny him a vote because he wanted the issue for the campaign for the president ial election and it succeeded. So, of course, theyre going to do whatever it takes to get neil gorsuch confirmed. This sliply slope that theyre on, theyll point fingers at each other but theyre hand in hand sliding down together. You talked about the president s agenda what he wants to be pushing through on capitol hill. Look at his approval ratele. The gallup poll, down 25 brs. He declared war on the freedom caucus. How difficult is it going to be to do things like tax reform like hes talking about, like infrastructure . He is got to essentially stop making enemies. If he teaks the freedom caulk cushion and democrats at the same time, suddenly, hes attacking a majority in congress. And that would be a majority that he would be fighting. Why fight a majority in congress. Why not create a governing majority in congress . So, i think theres a point where hes picking too many fights. And if you pick too many fights you have too many enemies, and when you have too many enemies you cant get anything done. It goes back to hes got to figure out how to compartmentalize russia and building bridges to some sort of coalition on capitol hill. Chuck, did you have North Carolina, gonzaga in your final bracket . Its the first year that i didnt get a sing of the 14. Two number one seeds, what kind of upsets who said that the march central. We will be watching meet the press this morning when chuck is joined by the democrat its and Republican Leaders of the senate, chuck sure and mitch mcconnell. Lets turn to other stories making headlines this morning. Starting in colombia where a search and rescue mission is happening. A devastating landslide has left more than 200 people.

The kids and their rescuers are expected to make a full recover. And an nhl game, Michel Neuvirth collapsed. He was taken off the ice on to a stretcher. The flyers say he is awake and alert but no word on what caused all of that. As we were talking about with chuck, two basketball powerhouses are all set to face off with the College Championship tomorrow night, North Carolina and gonzaga after a final four to remember. Nbcs ron mott is live in glendale, arizona where its all happening now, ron, good morning to you. Halle, good morning to you. Theres a reason they call them free throws.

You beat him up . Yeah. [ laughter ] why . I dont know. The two of you beat him up . We both beat him up. I think he was excelling in a sport so it was pure jealousy. We beat him up.

This is our future, all our kids in the next 20 years will be playing with robots. Smart of the parents to pick up the camera and roll on that.
