I would tell your daughters that the job for the first female president of the United States remains open. So, go for it. Reporter and making a rare foray, the president s controversial strategist, steve bannon, head of breitbart. Attacking the media, hes branded the Opposition Party. Just like theyre deadwrong in the chaos of the campaign. Just like theyre deadwrong on the chaos of the transition. Theyre deadwrong whats going on today. And touting the president s plans for a, quote, deconstruction of administrative state. If you think theyre going to give you the country back without a fight, youre sadly mistaken. Hold us accountable for what we promised. Hold us accountable for delivering what we promised. Reporter President Trump highlighting one promise being fulfilled, a crackdown on undocumented immigrants. Were getting really bad dudes out of this country at a rate nobody has ever seen before. And theyre the bad ones. And its a military operation. Reporter that phrase, military operation, quickly contradicted by his Homeland Security secretary, meeting with max con officials. There will be no mass deportations. Reporter the white house clarifying. The white house was using that as annagetive. It ees happening with precisio. Reporter another Campaign Promise repeal and replace obamacare. Reporter is facing obstacles. John boehner saying repeal and replace is not whats going to happen.

Caitlyn jenner speaking out on President Trump on transgender issues. She says mr. Trump has reneged on a promise, allowing students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identities. A message for President Trump, from one republican to another. This is a disaster. And you can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the lgbtq community. In our town hall last april, mr. Trump said jenner can use any bathroom. What we want to talk with Steve Kownacki and nicolle wallace. Trumps team has done a good job teeing it up. Hes going to do what he promised to do during the campaign. This audience had real fears about trumps conservative credentials. What do they want to hear from him . I remember saying at the republican convention, that the Republican Party died in the room that night. Its a symbol of how weak conservative was that trump jumped in anded his brand of conservatism. What does he need to say . The question is what is he going to say . And he is going to say the same of what hes been saying. That conservism, is isolationism, and the things that animated conservatisms for two generations before it. Campaign on the trail, then, candidate trump said for repeal and replace obamacare. And then, has john boehner in orlando, at the health care conference, saying, they shouldnt actually call it that because thats not what is going to happen. Theyre going to fix the flaws and put a more conservative box around it. We saw that in peters piece. Thats a guy that knows something about the legislative process. And hes saying that the obamacare nightmare is about to end. Thats john boehner a guy thats waiting a few years to have the freedom to say that. Thats something he wanted to say and couldnt. Thats the bind that republicans are in right now. He says, if you take this away right now, this entire program and you dont have a replacement, you own any of the failures that happen. And they havent had a placement in a generation. Repeal and replace makes a good bumper sticker. Fix, does not. It does not. We had reporting that some of the early talks between outgoing president obama and incoming President Trump, is doing just this. Rebranding it and retweaking it. I think this has been the plan all along. Really quick topic. Military operation, that the president used in describing the round up and deportation of undocumented immigrants in this country. The white house tried to walk it back. Did they succeed . Theres a story how the generals, general kelly and general mattis primary job is to do clean up and save face around the world. You see that in action, with general kelly going out and saying that will not be the case. There will not be mass deportati deportations. You saw general manager saying were not after iraq soil. The interesting people are the generals who seem to be doing cleanup sffull time. We saw it there, that on the complain trail, President Trump said they should use the bathroom they identify with. What happened this . Theyre getting a lot of negative attention and criticism, and theres a big chunk of what the administration is doing here. Its worth realizing this issue, too, this country is really split on this. Theres a lot of people out there who are onboard with where the administration is. And you look at how fast some of the cultural issues are changes. Five years ago, president obama said he was opposed to gay marriage on religious grounds. A lot of people are not come as far as the liberals have on this issue. Welcome back. Good to see you. A reminder, on monday, george w. Bush will be here, for a live interview and to show us his new tribute to americas wounded warriors. On tuesday, well be live on capitol hill.

Seven North Koreans are wanted for questioning, including a senior diplomat, sceeen at the airport the day of the attack.

Undercover hollywood. This morning, ronan farrow is fulling back the curtain at what some in the industry have done in pursuit of these awards. Good morning. For most of us, oscars are fun, if a little long, tv. But for most studios, winning can means millions of dollars. How far are they going to go for these awards . In some cases, critics say too far. The golden globe goes to reporter you might think that the people see the movies and pick their favorite ps but for people in contention, it can be a whiteknuckle fight. Millions of dollars. Tons of time. Reporter Scott Feinberg covers awards for the hollywood reporter. The same way that the political season that leads up to an election. Theres primaries. Caucuses. Reporter every year, studios deploy an army of award strategists. Bruce feldman has worked on campaigns for movies like glad dwr yater. I think youve seen aggressive efforts, what people call whisper campaigns. John nash was one of the most brilliant minds. A beautiful mind, that the guy played by russell crowe, had made antisemitic remarks. Reporter you they that occurred not a question. Reporter john nash said he could have made offensive statements. A representative for a competing studio, miramax, directing their attention to the reports. Miramax denied any involvement in the negative stories. There was a famous case of an oped being written, supposedly, by robert weiss, the oscar. Winni winning director of west side story, endorsing gangs of new york. It was written by a publicist. Reporter a publicist working on an o oez pod campaign. Weissman says weiss suggested the contents. It sparked a controversy. The Academy Banned advertising, using quotes from academy members.

Anthony hopkins called it disgusting. And monique refused to campaign for her film precious, a fact she brought up in her oscar speech. I would like to thank the academy for showing it can be about the performance and not the politics. Reporter she says she was black balled in the ciindustry because she didnt play the game. Some question if campaigning even works. We counted up every advertisement to see who is trying to spy their way to a nomination. What did you find . Money probably cant buy you an oscar win. But it seems to buy you a nomination. We asked for this mission. Reporter its not foolproof. Silence had a big ad buy and got a less buzzy cinematography nomination. But strategists like dennis rice say, whatever the result, they shape how art gets seen. It gives the audience permission to understand the movie from the right context. Reporter you know, viewers are going to hear a very, very skilled guy thats run a lot of the campaigns saying, were giving the audience permission to see the movie in the way we want them to see the movie. Its almost like sciops here. It would be an overstatement to say we can manipulate the audience. The best we can hopeful is theyll watch the movie, agree with us or not, and vote based on their opinion. Reporter the strategists we spoke with said this is business as usual. And in their view, theres nothing wrong with it. And one of them made the campaign, compared to political campaigns, its pretty tame. Thanks for taking all of the fun out of sunday night.

Purdy tweeted an image of the aftermath, his foot bandaged up. The bottom was so torn up, he was unable to compete in a relay later that day. His perseverance has gone viral, motivating so many people to tweet online. Thats heart. Good job.

Just prepping our area over here, where were going to have some of the best chefs in the country giving you some of the best breakfast tips ever. First of all, lets show you whats happening as far as your weather is concerned. Our big concern is this big storm system thats got 18 Million People right now under some sort of storm risk. Winter storm risk, stretching from the dakotas all the way into the upper great lakes. Ahead of the system, we have storms from cleveland, detroit, indianapolis. The snowfall amounts were talking 6 to as you get into the u. P. Of michigan, 12 inches of snow. Ahead of the system, springtime highs. Records will be set today from new york, cleveland, louisville, atlanta, down to tallahassee and out into charleston. As we push into tomorrow, were looking at more warm weather. But cooler air comes in behind it. Good morning. Im meteorologist bill henley. Look at this beautiful day. Lots of sunshine and the temperatures that are starting off mild will warm with up into the 70s this afternoon. Sunny skies and 74 in philadelphia. Partly to mostly sunny skies for the suburbs up to 72. 72 in new jersey and the one exception is the shore with the sea breeze where the temperatures are close to 60 this afternoon. The rest of the area including the Lehigh Valley and delaware and enough sunshine to warm into the 70s today. Have a great day. Thats your latest weather. Matt, look over here. We have all of our allstar chefs getting it together. All hanging out. All here. All ready to Start Cooking and giving you the big tips. Yeah. Fly home with some of the food, al. Thank you very much. See you in a couple of minutes. This morning, were hearing for the first time from a woman at the center of a story around the country. Michelle hadley was put in jail for allegedly stalking her fian fiances former wife. Well talk to michelle exclusively. First, datelines Dennis Murphy has her story. Reporter the charges and the headlines were devastating to Michelle Hadleys parents, michael and suzanne. They couldnt, wouldnt believe it. Nothing in character with the michelle youve raised here. Not at all. Reporter police say michelle sent threatening emails to a woman named ang in a diaz. She had married michelles exfiance. There was clear and compelling and convincing evidence, to believe that Michelle Hadley was the person sending the emails. Reporter then, the Cyber Threats became darker, and even dangerous. Michelle was responding to rape fantasy ads in angelas name. And directing men to angelas home. Angela called 911, saying one of the men attacked her. This is beyond internet misdemeanor mischief. This is a criminal act. Most definitely. Reporter michelle was arrested, but insisted she was innocent. It took months. But eventually, police and prosecutors unravel the complex computer forensic. The d. A. Delivered the stunning news. Im here to announce the filing of a felony complaint, against angela marie diaz. Reporter in an already beyond strange case, this turned things up to 11. The d. A. Said angela diaz was the mastermind and sole actor in an elaborate scheme to portray herself as a victim. She had framed Michelle Hadley. Michelle is accused of being angela, who turned out to be angela, pretending to be michelle, pretending to be angela. Reporter the chargers were that convoluted. Angela, accused of sending herself threatening emails. Inflicting injuries on herself. And all to put her husbands exgirlfriend behind bars. Whats more, at least for a few months, Authorities Say she succeeded. We should mention, angela diaz has pleaded not guilty. Michelle hadley is with us exclusively, along with her attorney, michael juste. Good morning. Whats it like to live through this . Horrifying. It is like your worst might mare coming true. Reporte when you were being accused of all these things, of sending threatening emails, of sending men to angelas house to have sex with her forcibly, youre telling the police, im not doing this. This has nothing to do with me. Did you get any sense for a second, they believed you . No. I got the sense that it was quite the opposite. I got the sense they didnt want to hear my side of the story. There is a little extra part of this. When the relationship with your exfiance broke up, you did send some emails to him that were nasty. I wouldnt call them nasty. But the language that i used was more forceful than i normally take. But the tone and the language was very different from what angela was using. If you read the emails as a Police Officer, do you think it would have led you to be a likely suspect in what was happening with angela diaz . I think the police have a responsibility to do a true, thorough investigation, regardless of what they suspect off of something speculative. We reached out to the Anaheim Police department for comment. Heres what they said. We believe our actions were appropriate, based on the evidence known to us at the time. In addition, it was the persistent efforts of the detective who ultimately uncovered the truth that led to michelles exoneration. How do you feel about that . I believe that the police had enough Information Available to them before they arrested me the first time, to know it wasnt me doing it. Ironically, angela diaz, although shes pleaded not guilty, shes being held in the same jail where you spent three months. Thats an unbelievable twist. Yeah. It is very weird to watch the case from the other side now and having gone through that knowing what its like. Did you have any contact with her . Did you have any relationship with her . Ever met her . No. Not before any of this happened. I had no idea who she was. Out of the blue im getting a e restraining order from her. You have any idea why she had this feeling towards you . I have my theories. Whats your theory . Well, there was a condo issue. And to me, its about the condo. Because otherwise, what threat am i . I was out of the picture. Michael, youve called this the ultimate identity theft. The perfect storm of catfishing. Yeah. And you filed a lawsuit. Theres a process in california. But were in that process, yes. So, what do you think the outcome of this will be . And whats the cautionary tale here . What the outcome is going to be is that michelles name is being cleared. Anaheim is going to have to be held accountable in front of a jury for what they did. And what is a cautionary tale . Goodness, globally, be nice. Dont do these things to people. I would imagine youre looking forward to getting this behind you. Yes. Very much so. I appreciate you telling your story here on the show, michelle. Thank you very much. Good luck to you. Michael, thank you very much. And you can see more of the story tonight on dateline, at 10 00, 9 00 central, here on nbc. Over to carson. Thanks.

Appreciate it. Lets continue with our ongoing series in trump they trust. Nicolle wallace has been hitting the road, visiting people who helped elect President Trump. You cant get rid of me today. Happy to have you. So, President Trump is the first republican to win wisconsin since ronald reagan. By appealing to lifelong democrats. And while Hillary Clinton never visited that state, that was supposed to be part of her socalled blue wall. We went back to the badger state to find out how some of them are feeling about their vote now. Its milking and feeding time, at the la plant family farm in sturgeon bay. If you want to hear what they think about donald trump, you have to help with the chores first. They will come to you. Reporter why doesnt he ever say anything bad about putin . Maybe we need them in the long run to fight radical islam. Better to have a few allies in that department than be all alone. Weve done this alone for how long . Reporter on this farm, the president gets plenty of pasture, even for the controversial travel ban. Maybe he didnt handle it the right way. But is there ever going to be a right way to handle that. If it keeps us safe. Reporter do you think thats in line with our values of the country . Theres a small group of radicals that makes everyone look bad. Reporter these arent the opinions of a launch republican. Brian la plant was a democrat all his life. Did you vote for obama . Do i have to admit that . Reporter i think you did. I voted for him two times. I was a democrat. Now, i dont know what i am. Reporter hes still a farmer, up at 4 00 a. M. To milk his herd of 84 cows, a job that doesnt end until the sun goes down. You cant just quit this. Reporter but brian says leaving the Democratic Party was an easy choice. We thought democrat was for the working people. I dont think thats the case anymore. They forgot about us. Reporter Hillary Clinton didnt come here this year. Thinking it was a lock. The center of the country is where we work with our hands. We actually got our president this time around. Reporter being a woman and supporting trump, people are like, how can you . Brians daughter, holly, helped break the democrats hold on this family. A lot of people like me got this wrong because we got it wrong because we thought that women would be offended by some of the things he said. Did any of the things he no. No. Hes just a guy. I dont know how well you guys know wisconsinites, we like to call it how we call it. He fits well with us. Hes a business man. And the country should be run like a business. Reporter but some of wisconsins larger dairies worry that this weeks sweeping changes to immigration policy could hurt business. John also supports donald trump. But says his dairy cant survive would immigrants. The cows need to be milked every day same time. Theyre filling the void of the jobs people dont want to do anyway. They love their work. They love to work. They make a good living and send money back home. Its a big deal. Reporter many of his employees are scared they will be deported. But he still supports the president. Fix the system so they can fill the zbloobs jobs that we n. Reporter back at the la plant farm, holly is hoping to take over the farm from her dad. She is firm in her support for President Trump. What about the tweeting . Do you like that he tweets . Or do you think he gets himself in trouble . Its just his way. He doesnt have to change who he was from previous just because he is now the president. Should he try to do things a little differently . Yes. But he doesnt have to change who he is. That defeats the purpose of us voting for him in the first place. Hes ruffling a lot of feathers, which is what we were looking for. I dont know. People just need to give him a chance. We did that with obama. We gave him a chance. Now, lets give this guy a chance. Reporter what advice do you have for him . You any he will call me . He might. That would be the greatest thing that could happen if we could get him on a small dairy. Have him come out and walk around with his boots on, like you. Reporter exit polls show 63 of wisconsin voters had a negative opinion of donald trump on election day. But 21 of those who viewed him unfavorably, voted for him anyway. Thats fascinating. Were those people hoping that trump would come through for him . Those people felt like someone was speaking to them for the first time. The thing that he said that just struck me, struck a nerve, that people that worked with their hands had been ignored for so long. And the perception that democrats would told them down on jobs. Now, they have a switch. And they feel like mr. Trump was the answer. And the heartening piece for his critics is nothing is lost on him. None of his missteps are lost on the voters. Fascinating stuff. Thanks. Next, how about show breakfast from the likes of Martha Stewart and katie lee right now . Some of the tips of the day coming for you. Well go back down to florida and al.

Nose those ears havent seen q tips in years. No. Mandy moore, good morning to you. Good morning. I was telling you. I was out there a couple of months ago. It was big then. I feel like this show continues to, if its possible, explode, and get even bigger. We are just beside ourselves. Were overwhelmed that its resonating with people in such a deep level. Were so proud of it and proud of the work that were able to do. And just so flattered and honored that people love it as much as they do. Why do you think they love it so much . In this day and age, people are looking for cathartic entertainment. Its tapped into something in the zeitgeist out there. Its grounded nuanced writing. My mom is one of those people. Every week, shes like, jordin, i im bawling. She admitted they bawled after the last episode. You cried on the couch . That episode was epic. I still havent recovered. I wasnt a part of it and i was hyperventilated. Can i talk about it . You know theres a character thats going to die. But when it happens, its just as dramatic. The acting is flawless. Even if you know. And milo tweeted out, a sick pass for anybody that couldnt recover. He did. Are you as close as it looks . Our characters are on screen . We are. I love milo so much. He is the greatest partner to have on this journey. Were in this Massive Group text. Were constantly going back and forth. Pinch me. Sending each other gifts. Theres so much love there. We were asking, do you tell your family members . Did you post some conversations . My parents are critical of some of the choices my character has made on the show. But they dont want to know anything. Initially, when we started filming, i would send them scripts. Thats the netext conversation with my parents about how upset they were on how the choices my character made. I was in a romantic moment with my husband. I told him i wanted to go on tour. How dare i pick that moment. Mom, i dont write these. Its not my fault. I mean, this is just a woman who wants something for herself after 16 years. I dont think thats too much to ask. A lot of us can relate to that. I have to acknowledge that i have two amazing singers here. Its fun when one singer admires and vice versa. Im trying not to have a freakout moment. Jordin, youre a singer, singer. Im just a singer. Everybody is confused. Im not trying to be selfdeprecating. Just keeping it real. I appreciate that. It means a lot to me. Youre like my idol. I could never do that in a million years. Have them judge you and keep progresses. I remember when i grew up, i would watch a walk to remember every day after school. And im missing you youre wearing 8 billion hots. And you played rapunzel in tangled. And youre back. Theyve taken the stand alone film and made a threepart series. And this is the first season. Its nice to be back in those shoes. And revisiting this character. It was like the dreamiest part of my career. Thats awesome. Mandy, thank you so much. When do you sleep . Were done, now.

You can put whatever you want on top. You can put avavocado. Zucchi zucchini. Cheese. I like tomatoes. I like dollops of cream cheese. Thats like 50 pucks. Give that man a cigar.

They need this for breakfast. For breakfast, jeff. This is real cooking here. Real cooking. Right in the pan here. Okay. So, look at that. Im going to put it on high. Want it on kind of high. And just stir it, slowly. And the secret for me, add a little butter as you go. The reason for this, is it helps protect the egg, to get the toughness. It takes the protein and surrounds the protein with butter. It cradles the protein. You do that well. You see how this now, its starting to form. Uhhuh. And this is right in front of live tv, making an omelet. And notice how gentle were doing. Thats amazing. Come over here, scott. You have any fonduta for my omelet . I do not.
