Yeah, youve got a couple storms brewing up there, savannah. One in the weather and the other thats a political storm. As you mentioned, they dont waste any time up there. As i eluded to, Hillary Clinton is already out at a polling place this morning here in manchester. She cant vote here but shes trying to get her supporters out in force. What has become tradition, voters in three small towns cast the first ballot at midnight on the dot. On the republican side, nine votes each for ted cruz, john kasich and donald trump. Bernie sanders leads Hillary Clinton, 179. The voting is just getting started. A lot is going to happen before the polls close tonight. Coming up, well talk to the candidates and also look at how the results may change this race. Lets begin our indepth coverage with Peter Alexander, who is with me here. Theyre expecting a record turnout across the state. Consider this, a campaign that only six months ago, few people took seriously, is on the verge of making New Hampshire history. Donald trump sounding increasingly confident in recent days. The man who has never been politically correct, repeating language that some people may find offensive. Reporter after dominating 75 straight polls here since june, hampshire voters one last embrace. This is our final love fest. You have to get out and you have to vote, no matter what. Reporter the front runner feeling good and speaking out, making headlines overnight after pretending to scold a crowd member who yelled a vulgar term about ted cruz. Then repeating it into the microphone. She said id never expect to hear you say that again she said, hes a [ bleep ]. Terrible. Terrible. Reporter later, taking a swipe at rubios debate debacle. Im watching marco sweating like a dog on my right. After the fifth time, im like, what is going on over here . Reporter rubio trying to turn it into a rallying cry. Ill keep saying it over and over again. Reporter while turning heads for another repetitive episode. Were taking the struggle to families raising their children in the 21st century. In the 21st century, its become harder than ever to instill in your children the values they teach in homes. Reporter the race for second, wipe open. John kasich braving a snowstorm, promising a Granite State celebration. Its the phone calls, the volunteers, the knocking on doors. [ applause ] its not going to stop. Reporter Chris Christie urging voters to give him a tail wind to the next primary state. I have a flight scheduled for South Carolina on wednesday morning. I intend to take it. Reporter jeb bush, blasting trump on twitter as a loser, a liar and a whiner. The former governor now reenergized. I think were going to beat expectations. Its a low bar, so to pitchbich obituaryies were written a day ago. Reporter so much undecided. We want somebody who has a chance to win in the general. Hampshire voters dont make up their mind until today. Until primary day. Remember, independents can decide which party to vote for at the last minute. One New Hampshire voter dont john kasich monday, i think five times the person said, im deciding between you and Bernie Sanders. Got to love New Hampshire. Some people decide the minute the curtain closes behind them in the booth. Matt, up to you. In the democratic race, Hillary Clinton is hoping to narrow the gap that twists between herself and Bernie Sanders. Were also hearing from former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg about his chances of jumping in. Andrea mitchell is in manchester with more on all of that. Good morning to you. Good morning, matt. At the polling place this morning, Hillary Clinton told voters shes going to continue working until the last vote is counted. If the polls are correct, with New Hampshire, which has been may deliver a setback to clinton today. A new surveymonkey poll shows she holds a substantial lead over sanders nationally. Reporter in the middle of a snowstorm, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton making their final pitch to the voters. I think being a progressive means you want to make real progress. You tell em, bernie. I am. Reporter the challenge for clinton, how to attract young women voters flocking to sanders. Im sure shes intelligent and can add a lot to the country, i dont trust her. Reporter bill clinton has sanders. Something hes called disturbing. Has he been unfair to her . Unaccurate. Reporter the former president chasing at the chance to keep things on message. Sometimes when im on a stage what i really think. Reporter trailing by double digits, the clinton camp is reportedly considering a shakeup after New Hampshire. Were going to take stock, but its going to be the campaign that ive got. Reporter Hillary Clinton addressing the reports with msnbcs rachel maddow. Were moving into a different phase of the campaign. Itd be malpractice not to say, what can we do better . Reporter nbc news confirmed Michael Bloomberg, doubting clinton or sanders chances to win in the fall, is seriously considering jumping in as a third party candidate. Speaking to the financial times, bloomberg says, voters deserve better and he is, quote, looking at all the options. Although clinton has trailed Bernie Sanders for months, New Hampshire voters are famously late deciders. More than 40 say theyre independent. Classic swing voters who have produced surprising upsets in the past. Thats what Hillary Clinton is hoping for this time around. Savannah . Hoping for that this morning. As we mentioned earlier, heading into today, marco rubio has been at the center of the discussion in the republican race. Lester holt caught up with him on the trail yesterday. Good morning. Great to see you. Rubio came under fire during saturdays debate, with opponents like governor Chris Christie taking aim for rubios repeated use of the exact same attack lines against president obama. Rubio defended his comments, as we talked over a cup of coffee at a local diner. Lets dispel the fiction, that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. You repeated the same thing four times. Ill say it again. Barack obama is trying to change america and is doing damage to the country. By repeating it, it played to the notion that you are a bit contrived, rehearsed. Thats silly. Understand, people when theyre running for office will say whatever they need to say. Called marco robot. Choked, it didnt bother you . It cant affect you. On our website, we raised more money on the first hour of that debate than all the other debates. Chris christie said, lets not make the mistake we made eight years ago, of electing a firstterm senator. Making the comparison between you and president obama. What do you and president obama have in common, in terms of what you represent . I have different experiences than he had. I served in the Third Largest state in the country for four years. We had real achievements in florida. In the senate, i had achievements. Is your youth an advantage or disadvantage . I embrace it. Its who i am. I havent lived as long as some people running for president but ive done more than most of them. Your third place showing in iowa, strong third place, has put a lot of expectations on you, in terms of Going Forward here. What does that mean in terms of what happens in New Hampshire . This is a very unusual election. I think itd be a mistake to the metrics of past elections. Weve never had six or seven wellfunded, credible candidates running for president on the time. I think the nomination is going to take a little longer and be a different process than in the past. Were going to do well here. But he is looking a bit past the primaries. Rubio says he would beat the democratic nominee, whether it be Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton. Savannah, he is owning the repetition of the attack lines against president obama. Lester, thanks so much. I know youll have more on the latest twists and turns on nightly tonight from New Hampshire. Lets bring in chuck todd and mark, manager of bloomberg politics. First, donald trump repeated a vulgar term used by a supporter at a rally last night. Shocked . Any other candidate who did that, the staff would say, we can lose the primary over this. The crowd loved it. This symbolizes the trump campaign. Different and not politically correct. Donald trump said something offensive to somebody. For him, it doesnt impact anything. Lets talk about the race. I wont move to who places second right away. Lets not miss who may place first. Donald trump. If i told you that six month ago, what would you have said . The combination of trump and sanders. We talk about the upsets in the history of the New Hampshire primary. When the country is aangry, the first place to tell us is New Hampshire. Theyll hand Us Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. The establishment of both parties are frightened of. The more they express their fear, the more some voters want to rally around them. This is a huge, symbolic message thats being sent. The people of the establishment say, they can win win the nominee. Theyve been underestimated the whole cycle. Assume they win big tonight, theyll speak to the biggest autd audiences they ever have in the context of becoming the president ial candidate. Whoever is second, third and fourth for republican, Hillary Clinton has to make a case, heres why the other states shouldnt follow suit. For anyone hoping New Hampshire would provide clarity as to the trump alternative in the race, no longer going to happen. Is it all because of what happened on saturday night with marco rubio and the debate . It is all because of that. Rubio doing the face plant at the debate, it was an opportunity. He had the opportunity to seize the nomination. He had an opportunity there were people ready to rally around his campaign. You would have seen a flood of endorsements. A flood of money. A flood of and probably a whittling of the field. None of the other candidates think, hey, rubio has a glass jaw. They all say theyre going to every last one. They have no reason not to. Saturday night, another debate. If youre Chris Christie or youre marco rubio, why not go . Get on the debate stage and try again. Marco rubio went from having, as chuck said, the nomination, or at least the establishment wing part of the nomination in his hands, to now potentially having his nomination in mortal danger. He could finish second tonight and turn it around again. Lets talk about Hillary Clinton. She expects to lose here. The only issue for everyone, it seems, is by how much. What will these next days be like for her if she does, in fact, lose here . If the polls are right, and its double digits, it is going to be stories about joe biden, Michael Bloomberg. Bernie sanders is already outraising her and will with more money. Nevada will suddenly look like its in play. The National Polls will show clinton. This is going to be the most painful three weeks before the since shes had in february 2008. Thank you so much. Well have more from here in New Hampshire coming up, including live interviews with jeb bush and Chris Christie. For now, matt, up to you in new york. Couple minutes. We want to turn to the fight against the zika virus. The Obama Administration now asking congress for 1. 8 billion in emergency funding.

Already in brazil, 4,000 babies diagnosed with abnormally small heads and brains. Were not cancelling spring break. Were telling people who are pregnant, you know, you may not want to go. Reporter with 30 countries and territories now included on the cdcs list of zika areas to avoid, the cdcs Emergency Operation center has gone to the highest level of response. Now with the Olympic Games six months away, the u. S. Olympic committee is reiterating the guidance for pregnant women or women who could become pregnant, to avoid the zika hot zones. Also, the cdc would not and will not prevent athletes from competing for their country should they qualify. The white house is asking congress for nearly 2 billion in the fight against zika. Including the expedited development of a zika vaccine. Could be years away. We have the capability to get a vaccine candidate into phase one Clinical Trial to determine if its safe. Reporter on the grounds in florida, the state is wrapping up Mosquito Control efforts. Residents told to get rid of standing water. It can be a breeding ground for mosquitos. Researchers say theres a lot about zika they dont understand. Whether the virus can be transmitted through saliva and urine, and which trimester of baby might be most at risk. The mosquito likes to bite during the day rather than at dusk. If you travel to the areas and youre not pregnant but concerned, wear repellant and try to cover your arms and legs. You mention td olympics. The International Pressure is mounting every single day on the brazilians to get this under control before the games start in august.

Were joined now by one of the candidates vying for a strong showing here in New Hampshire. New jersey governor Chris Christie. Good morning. Good to see you. Good morning. Is it do or die tonight . I think saturday night changed everything. It shook this race up in a significant way and gumable. We want to do well, but i dont think anything is do or die after the performance we had at the debate saturday night. Do you think donald trump is going to win like the polls suggest . Hes been ahead in 73, 74 straight polls. If he doesnt win, itll be the biggest story of the evening. Its who is competing behind him. Any of us could come from second to sixth. I cant have a prediction. I dont know. Only the people of New Hampshire know and theyre making it happen now. What message will you take . Youve poured yourself into this state. I think youve been here more than anybody else. You spent all your time. All your eggs are kind of in the New Hampshire basket. If you dont get a message from New Hampshire voters saying, hey, we like you, what are you going to do . I think i will. Theres plenty of time to prepare for the worst. Happens tonight. I feel good where we are. I think the momentum from saturday will be good for us. In 2009 when i ran for governor, i got outspent 3 1 in a democrat state. Nobody thought i was going to win and i won. Theres no question that you shellacked marco rubio in the debate. It may have hurt him. Did it help you though . I think it did. When ive seen the turnouts at our events and people want to say, the debate made up my mind, i think it makes a big difference. 13. 5 Million People watched. It makes a difference. I was joking with you earlier. I said, you have your lawyer on. You seem to like the prosecutor we remembered. Did you enjoy that . Im ready to be president and senator rubio is not. Im ready to beat Hillary Clinton and he is not. He says he has the most Foreign Policy experience of anyone in the race. Well characterization . Hes never had to make a decision about anything. Experience than you. Listen, ive read just as many briefings as marco rubio. Thats his experience. Senate staffers. Im making decisions on the ground every day. I spent a lot of time in the last few years learning the Foreign Policy business and talking to some of the smartest people in the world to advise me. I dont think theres any difference. Theres no difference until you get in the chair. Then you get real difference. Trump is number one in all the polls. Looking at what you did to marco rubio saturday night, some might wonder, why didnt you train your fire on trump . Hes the one poised to win the race. A a a anointed one. Second can be better than first in a lot of ways in New Hampshire to pick president s. Thought i needed to talk object to about to inform the american people. We cant have another firstterm senator as the nominee. Hillary clinton will eat him alive. She wont eat me alive. Jeb bush will join us in a few. Matt, back to you. Mr. Roker with a check of the weather. Dont put away the cold weather gear yet. Considering it is february, i wont. Its been mild. We have a real change coming, at least here in the east.

One of the Worlds Largest cruise ships and the thousands of passengers on board battered by a massive storm at sea. This morning, as that ship turns around and heads back to port, were hearing from some of the passengers. Natalie has more on that. Rather than continuing south, the captain decided the passengers had endured enough. When you see the new images of the damage, youll understand why. Reporter flying furniture, waves as high as 30 feet and hurricaneforce winds more than 150 miles an hour, all part of the harrowing journey more than 6,000 passengers and crew wont forget any time soon. The captain telling passenger passengers yesterday turned out to be, probably one of my worst days ive seen. Reporter passengers arent arguing with that. Seeing what we were seeing outside of our windows, the 30foot waves, you know, and were at a 30 degree tilt. It was insane. Youd roll out of bed if you didnt hang on. I realize it was really serious at the point when i was sitting at the chair on the bar and the four legs came up and i was on two. I fell off the chair, essentially. Reporter despite their fear, most passengers say they felt the captain did a great job of keeping them informed and are happy to be alive. Happiest day of my life right now. You know, it was terrifying last night. Im really happy that everyone is safe and there were minimal injuries. You know, thankfully, no casuals. Reporter others, angry they were put in danger at all, since a storm had been forecast. Theyre angry because they feel somebody should have known. They think theres the question of, why were we in this to begin with . Reporter Royal Caribbeans response, the weather the ship experienced was greater than forecasted. While the weather was unpleasant, the ship remained seaworthy at all time. The cruise line promises to give everyone a full refund and 50 off any future cruise. Though some may never take advantage of that deal. Whether or not we ever go on a cruise again, that, im not sure about. The ship expected to arrive in new jersey tomorrow morning. Al, we were talking about this during the story. This was a storm that was well forecasted ahead of him. Royal caribbeans claim this was not predicted is bull feathers, basically. The National Weather service forecast, this was put out on it was for 23 to 31 foot seas. In fact, if you look, the buoy out there had 30foot waves. Look here, the forecast, this was out on thursday. Sunday night, northwesterly winds, 40 to 50 knots. About 45 to 56 or 57mileperhour sustained winds. Not counting gusts. They had plenty of knowledge.

Were live in New Hampshire, todays battleground in the president ial race. Matt, natalie, al and sheinelle holding down the fort. We have wind and snow in the air. Its chilly weather, savannah. We definitely had weather to talk about here. Unclear if it will affect the polls. Theres so much at stake today. Voters are already streaming into the polling sites across the state. The candidates getting in lastminute jabs at one another. Well talk to jeb bush in a moment. First, Peter Alexander sets the stage. Hes with me again. Good morning to you. Good morning. The first primary votes already Bernie Sanders dominated the last 40 polls in New Hampshire. Donald trump, the last 75. Assuming those hold, New Hampshire can send a message tonight, that americans are angry and want dramatic change. Reporter the political novice donald trump looking to lock up his first win in an unpredictable race. Even leaning on his pregnant daughter for help. If she has the baby in New Hampshire, it guarantees victory tomorrow. Please, ivanka, have a baby tonight. Reporter blasting rivals, including cruz. A description was yelled out from the crowd. She just said a terrible thing. Shout it out. I dont want to she said, hes a [ bleep ]. Its terrible. Reporter fending off attacks from his opponents, marco rubio hoping to rebound. Here with lester holt. Criticism is from the people who cover politics, not from voters. Reporter rubios challenges see an opening. People are looking not only to understand whats in your head, but they also want to know whats in your heart. If all you are is scripted, im not sure people respond to that. Reporter among democrats, Bernie Sanders supporters see the Granite State as the senators best chance to change the momentum. Millions of us will have to stand up and be loud and clear in saying, our government belongs to all of us, not just the 1 . Thank you. Reporter meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is aiming to slow sanders in a state hes expected to win. We cant quit. We cant get discouraged. We cant give up. We cant let the bad guys win.

This morning, john kasich criticizing our next guest, jeb bush. Insisting hes taken a low road, he says, to the highest office in the land. Peter, thank you very much. Thanks for the segue. Jeb bush is here. Governor kasich saying you took a low road. I guess hes talking about negative advertising. Whats your response . I dont know what it is, to be honest with you. Your super pac spent money on negative ads against kasich. I didnt even know it, to be honest with you. Comparing and contrasting the part of this. Wait until the general election when Hillary Clinton, if shes the nominee, will try to scrape off the bark. This isnt the most difficult its tough. Were running for the presidency of the United States. I have a proven conservative record that matches up really well against governor kasichs. Particularly well against senators that have never done much because theyve basically been stuck in the gridlock in washington. Ill stick with the advertising a minute. I know in any official way, your campaign is not talking to your super pac. Right. However, one presumes they have your blessing. Youre not saying, dont do that. Dont run the negative ads. You have spent more money on negative ads than any other candidate. Im being attacked by the other candidates, as well. Its how politics works. The reason were doing better here is people want someone with a proven record. My record is what i talk about on the stump. It seems to be resonating. Well see. Theres a lot of undecided voters, as you all know. At the last moment, they make up their minds based on a lot of Different Things than what the pundits say. People think you have your groove. You had your best debate on saturday night, youre hitting your stride now. It happening now . Frankly, because in New Hampshire, they challenge you and test you. You get better as you go along. I did. 100 different meetings where im asked crazy and important questions. I got better. Tonight . Im anxious, not nervous. Times. South carolina tomorrow. Today is a New Hampshire day. No matter what happens tonight, youre headed to South Carolina . Hilton head, youre welcome to come. Some say if this goes on, if the socalled establishment politicians are still in this glut, and then you have donald trump, the clear front runner, at some point, these guys have to unify around one person. Do you ever think in those terms . Like if there comes a point for the good of the party, maybe i ought to step aside . I would like to see the support of all the other candidates supporting me, of course. Were now in the second primary out of probably, what, 53 to go, theres a long, long process ahead of us. I intend to be there at the end. Donald trump and you seem to have a little relationship on twitter. He seems to get under your skin and, perhaps, vice versa. Yesterday, you tweeted hes a loser loser, a liar and whiner, which that could be out of trumps vocabulary book. Giving him a taste of what he gives. Thats what bullies need from time to time. He has gone bankrupt four times. He whines when it doesnt go perfectly for him. He insults his way to the nomination. Its not going to work. I dont think people believe that. If he wins tonight, as polls suggest he might, what are New Hampshire voters saying . People are angry with washington, d. C. My job is to say, i agree. Dont just prey on peoples fears. Give them a solid agenda on how to fix it. Its what i did when i was florida. Your mom said maybe you were too polite in the campaign. After that last tweet i did, she probably doesnt necessarily think that anymore. Well see. Governor bush, thank you. Appreciate it very much. Coming up, tom brokaw explores the importance of the New Hampshire primary and how it shapes the president ial race. First, natalie has a check of the other top stories. Officials say all survivors have been removed from the mangled wreckage of two commuter trains that crashed head on this morning south of munich, germany. Nine people were killed. It took rescuers hours to reach all 150 people injured. Many had to be cut out of the crushed and overturned train cars.

Four people were hospitalized in Critical Condition overnight after a charter bus traveling from new york city to a casino flipped on to its side in madison, connecticut.

The look on eli mannings face, the brother of the winning quarterback Peyton Manning. We talked to him live yesterday. The game is not officially over, but the whole family erupts into celebration. Everyone except eli. What was he watching . One tweet says he was trying to process the puppy monkey baby commercial. Eli is explaining himself. He was focusing on the next play. Probably not wanting to celebrate prematurely. As a quarterback he knows. He knows anything could still happen. I thought maybe he was intense. You were on it. I said that. Youre his brother. Youre thinking, were almost there. Not there yet. I think they were going to go for the twopoint conversion. Exactly. We all need a little help prepare yourselves for the cutest video youre going to see all day. Baby pandas getting help from mom.

Big change to this years oscar ceremony and the inappropriate shirt selma hayek wore to the er. The oscars will look and sound different this year. Producers are planning to blow up the traditional acceptance speech. This year, all nominees will like to thank. During the speeches, that list will scroll at the bottom of the screen so they dont have to worry about forgetting anyone. Winners to give more entertaining speeches instead of i like that. I think we all get tired of hearing name after name. I think its going to be weird. I think theyll thank the people they should, like their mom. Probably. We shall see. Thats one of the changes announced at the oscar nominees luncheon on monday. Take a look at this. 155 nominees posed for this class photo. Youll spot Jennifer Lawrence, brie larson and mark ruffalo, as well as lady gaga, Leonardo Dicaprio dicaprio. But the star was jacob tremblay. He posed with Jennifer Lawrence and delivered a knockout punch to stallone. In the new issue of rolling stone, chris martin says beyonce wasnt always keen on collaborating.

Its part of a costume she was wearing while filming a movie in new york. She explained she was rushed to the hospital after suffering a minor head injury on setd and didnt bother changing. Shes fine and the doctors looked happy, too. I bet. Rushed to the hospital. Take a couple of pictures with the doctor. Maybe after. Sheinelle, thank you very much. Lets get good morning the to you. Here is the satellite. As we look the last two hours you can see showers around here in wake county, a few flurries, thats the trend of the day, thats your latest weather. The smuckers birthdays are coming back in the next half hour. Thats right, the passing on of the torch. Been a great tradition. Back to savannah in New Hampshire. Guys, thank you. As the host of the first primary in the nation, New Hampshire relishes its role when it comes to picking the nations next president. Tom brokaw has more on that. You know this state well. I do. As you indicated, New Hampshire cherishes its reputation as a fiercely independent state that plays by its own rules. Over the years, it has developed a reputation for surprises. Often, big surprises. Battleground of unpredictable successes and huge disappointments. Boy, did New Hampshire come up with a surprising finish. Because of New Hampshire independents, there may be more characters per capita in New Hampshire than other places. You get unexpected questions or unexpected confrontations. It changes the political picture in america for 1968. Reporter mccarthy finished a strong second in 1968. His student crusade against vietnam was enough to drive president johnson from a second term.

By 1980, it was reagans state, after a showdown with george in iowa. Bush got his turn in 88, defeating an angry bob dole. Who had beaten him in iowa. Voted for tax increase 600 times in your career. Can you defend that . Back in your cave. Senator dole, anything youd like to say to the Vice President . Stop lying about my record.

Eight years ago, barack obama rolled into New Hampshire after beating Hillary Clinton in iowa. I dont think im that bad. Youre likable enough, hillary. Thank you. Reporter senator clinton was written off. Until she beat obama handily. Enough to keep her campaign going, but not enough to get to the white house. Please, come out. Reporter eight years later, navigating New Hampshire is just as treacherous. Mcquaid publishes the Manchester Union leader newspaper. Im proud of voters who read, watch television and make up their own minds. Reporter New Hampshire voters know their own mind but they dont like to tip their hand. Savannah, dont ask me who is going to win tonight. And ive been surprised almost every cycle. Thats part of the appeal of New Hampshire, obviously. Its the graveyard of pollsters here in New Hampshire. Imagine if the polls are correct, New Hampshire would be sending a huge message if it nominates Bernie Sanders and donald trump. Right. Then the question is, which of the polls are correct . Theyre all over the place. Those two stayed in number one. I think a big part of the issue, what will happen today, is who survives . Not just who wins. And who has to get out of the race. Its the kasich race, also the bush race, also the christie race. Its the jeb bush race. Those people downstream have other hopes beyond New Hampshire. New hampshire, take it seriously. Well see how tickets out of here there are tonight. Tom brokaw, thank you so much. Glad to be here. Back to matt. You going to catch a plane, savannah, and well see you here tomorrow. Nice job and thank you very much. Coming up, ben stiller on zoolander back to the big screen.

This tale took me back to my hometown in texas. An army of people ready to give back to one of the countrys bravest. Reporter marrying a military man was never the plan. With jay, outgoing, witty, handsome, she couldnt help but fall in love. Am i ready to jump off the deep end and be in the military with him . Im glad i did. Their wedding, jay was deployed to afghanistan for the first time. Sierra, more than 8,000 miles away, was pregnant with their first child. In august of 2006, on their oneyear anniversary, sierra got a call from jays mom shed never forget. She said, i need you to hear three words. Jay is alive. I was like, oh, this is it. Thats the one call you dont want to get. Reporter jays vehicle hit an ied. Nearly half his body, burned. Tlie killed. Six days later, sierra gave birth to their daughter. Not the way you want your husband to meet your child but it was better than nothing. Thats for sure. Reporter jay has made a steady recovery. In the sweltering texas heat, his burns still keep him from fully enjoying his passion, the outdoors. From the fingertips to the shoulder on his left side, its when you get the new skin, you dont sweat out of that so its easy to get overheated. Reporter jays story caught the attention of the organization thats helped more than 15,000 veterans. They teamed up with the home depot to surprise jay with a backyard he and his family could enjoy. With sierras help, they swooped in while jay was away on business. What do you think his reaction is going to be . I think hes going to feel overwhelmed with gratitude. I think hell be like, i cant believe people are doing this for me. It makes you want to get teary eyed. Yeah. Thats what soldiers fight for. Its for these amazing people to do things for others. Reporter with more than two days of work down, word arrives that jay just landed at the airport. Less than an hour to wrap this up. Lets get moving. There was one thing left to do. Hi.

Maybe im asleep on the airplane right now. You know . Its pretty special, to have that memorial they put in there. A lot of the guys that i served with, theyre the real heros. I really appreciate you coming out and doing this for me and my family. From the bottom of my heart, i want to say thank you. [ applause ] thank you. I appreciate it. Thanks a lot. Sierra was the main person in charge of the surprise. She told me jay is the cornerstone of their family. Of course, he said the same thing about her. Its a great love story, but also one with the generosity of complete strangers. Some of them drove from three hours away to make it happen. You know what jay said . Im working. You know who really is the hero, are the guys getting off the airplanes. He thanks them when flying around for work. He thanks the guys coming home. He was a true hero and it was so much fun. Touching story. Great story. Jenna, thank you very much for giving us. Up next, well catch up with mr. Ben stiller on a Tuesday Morning. Nbc. 8 39. Ben stillers 2001 comedy zoolander became a cult classic. It introduced us all to the really, really, ridiculously good looking model, derek zoolander. What is your trademark, if you have one . The look im best known for is blue steel. Whats that look like . Impressive. Then theres ferrari. And theres a softer one, more i use it for footwear sometimes. Can it see that . 15 years later, derek is back in zoolander 2. Can his famous looks still stop flying objects . Flash me that beautiful look, give me the incredible magnum. No. Think fast, magnum. Wait, no. Magnum, now come on. Youve got this. You have to focus. Come on stop youve got this. Maybe we can try a washcloth. Tequila. No its not working. Does it make sense when i say sometimes i feel guilty im laughing. No, no, no. You understand that . Of course. Welcome back. Good to see you. Good to see you, matt. Did you slip right back into this character after 15 years, or was it a little more difficult than that . It took a little bit of time, just because it had been a while. Once we started doing it, once i got working with owen and we were in the dynamic, it felt familiar. I know you wouldnt have brought derek back to the screen unless he had evolved considerably. Yes. It was hard to get derek agree to do the movie. He thought the first one didnt reflect well on him, thought it was a documentary. Trying to make a deal with him on this one, you know, hes a model who thinks hes an actor. You asked a lot of famous people to do cameos in the movie. Yeah. I just learned something three minutes ago. You asked jennas mom, barbara bush, the former first lady. Laura. You asked her mom . I thought it was her grandma. You asked her mom laura to be in the movie . Yes. She was smart to politely say no. What did you have in mind for her . That i was going to ask her to be a part of. She wedeclined and i was glad i didnt have to ask her to be a part of. Laura bush to be a part of an or orgy scene in zoolander 2. That is correct. You come with the hardhitting questions, matt lauer. What were you thinking . I realized it was insane when it came out of my mouth. You kindly asked me to be in the movie. Yeah. What surprised me is you came yourself. I thought youd send an intern or something. I really did. To work with you, matt . I didnt believe youd come here and do the directing. You were nice enough to do it twice because we had to come back. Did i mess it up the first time . No. You were wonderful. We had a line that changed and i wanted you for the opening sequence. You morphed into derek. Its an exciting shot, when you become one good looking guy turns into another incredibly is it a relief to you tonight that this remooer is herepremiere is here, and then youre off on your own . Once it comes out, its done. Youre working on it until the very end. Even when we were showing it, we had our first screenings in australia last week. We were dropping shots in. You keep going until they pull it out of your hands. 15 years from now, will you be back with zoolander 3 . Yes, with a walker, probably. Its great to see you, ben. It was a fun process. Congratulations. Thanks, man. Thanks for bringing derek back. Zoolander 2 opens on friday. Tomorrow, well talk to bens we are back now at 8 46 with katie holmes. She stars in the new movie poet struggling with bipolar disorder. Take a look. Trying to figure out who i am. You know, because i dont feel like myself anymore. Even when i go off the medication, i dont feel like myself. Okay. You know what, honey . I think we need to get dad. Im sorry. I shouldnt have yelled. I wont yell again. Youre right. Sit down. I have a really good plan. Youre going to spend the night tonight, and tomorrow morning, first thing, well go to the hospital and get your file. You can ask anything. Well figure all this out. I hate it when you look at me like that. How am i looking at you . Like im crazy. Katie, welcome back. Nice to see you. Thank you. Nice to see you. Intense. I watched it yesterday. Its an intense movie. You play carla, who suffers from these massive swings of emotion. Incredible highs and incredible lows. I would imagine, its a tough line to walk as an actress, not to make the moods seamsterem seem stereotypical. Its a huge challenge, and one i felt pressure to create an authentic character. So many people do suffer, and i wanted to bring a realistic portrayal to the role. You cant just read about Something Like that. Have you had people close to you, family, friends, who have had this condition . You know, i have not had many experiences, no, with knowing people with this. But when i met with paul, our director, he told me this was his story. And shed more light on what hes gone through and why we were making this movie. And how important it was to him. You know, this movie, the cast, the crew, everybody was inspired by him, that there was this energy on set to create something very authentic and very real. It asks some really big questions. For example, it talks about all the brilliant and creative like hemingway and van gogh, elliott and f. Scott fitzgerald, who suffered from bipolar disorder. It asks, was it a curse for them or the source of their brilliance . I thought it was fascinating. I thought it was fascinating, as well. Paul, our director, you know, he talked about how it was so hard for him when he was diagnosed to suddenly go from being a person to then being just an illness. He found such comfort in these great artists who also had this. So it does raise that question. However, he is very, you know hes gone through a lot of treatment. It also asks the question, is it beneficial to treat these people with drugs. Right. You and i both remember a heated discussion i got into on that subject here in this studio. How do you think the movie comes down on that . Where do you think it leads the viewer . I think that what i think our with is this movie kind of just shows, this is it.

It sounds awesome, right, to be on the field . Yeah. When youre 54 and in the back, you cant see anything. Basically, i saw maybe some people in the distance. Not sure if it was beyonce or not. Jumping up and down. Yeah. Im sure you had a better view at home. I think so. It was such a performance. I missed the whole thing. Screens all around though, right . The screens werent working during the performance. Ive been to a couple super bowls. While its a great thing to go to, the fact is, to watch it all, its so much better at home. You see better angles and get the commercials. I know. I heard there was the monkey puppy monkey baby. All the rage. You didnt see the baby pop out with the doritos commercial . I saw that. We were in a media works space you didnt miss too much. Now you have bragging rights. I was on the field. Could have been worse. You could have been on the caribbean cruise. We told you yesterday about the Royal Caribbean cruise ship. It was hit by rough waters after leaving its new jersey port on saturday. It was on a sevenday cruise to the bahamas. As it was making its way there, this huge storm hit it off the coast of South Carolina. Were hearing from the passengers and seeing some incredible images. Some of the damage on board, as well. Anthem of the seas had about 6,000 passengers and crew on board. Al, they reported waves as high as 30 feet. Hurricaneforce winds. Yeah. Sometimes over 150 miles per hour. All of this was forecast though. It was. I know Royal Caribbean issued a statement, which was while the weather was unpleasant the ship remained they claimed it wasnt forcastfor forecasted but it was. As of thursday, there were reports the forecast for the seas, 30 feet, winds minimum at per hour. That was thursday night. Next day or two. They had plenty of warning. They made a decision, i dont know if it was for money or what they thought theyd beat the storm. Every day theyre out of place, it costs them money. Right. The fact is, they should have never done it. The forecast look at the flying furniture. The damage you see on board. And we have some passengers describing how it all went down. Im sure theres going to be some sort of investigation. 30 foot waves, you know. Its like a 30 degree tilt. It was insane. I was hanging on because you i realize it was really serious. I was sitting at ingting on the chair at the bar. Four legs came up and i fell out of the chair, essentially. I love it, while the weather was unpleasant, the ship remained seaworthy. Thats like saying, godzilla was a little bit of a lizard. Come on. One of the passengers said the ship was almost at a 30 degree angle, with the waves. It probably felt like it. Would you go on another cruise if you experienced Something Like that . I would have hard pressed to go back. But they are Royal Caribbean is offering passengers a full refund for this trip. Also, 50 off of a future cruise, if they so dare or choose. I think there is going to certainly be an investigation into it. No doubt. Im going to try one of als famous transitions. Cant catch a cruz in new maybe you can. Theres a port there. Oh. I think its why it was named portsmouth. Anyway, we have willie and tamron in New Hampshire. Its primary day. Ware watch theyre watching it all for us. You can catch a ride on a longhaired scottish high lander beef cattle. We have a couple cohosts with us. A child is riding one. They got the day off from school. Its snowy. Hi, cutie. Kids are outside and parents are inside voting. Lets size up this race a little bit. Lets go to the poll and see where we stand. Voters go to the polls right now. Donald trump, 34 in the state. Ted kroousz,cruz and marco rubio, 13 . Theres a bunch of people who come in second. Donald trumps quote, no one remembers second place. It wont hold true. The second place is a headline coming out on the gop and democratic side. Bernie sanders has a significant lead. 56 over Hillary Clintons 40 . She closed the gap slightly. Predictions are right now that Bernie Sanders likely will pull out a victory here. In the democratic race, you have the talk of Hillary Clinton. How does she recover . Is South Carolina her fire wall . Who comes in second . A threeway tie in the gop. That would be a long night, number one. Number two, youd have to see who can take their ground game to the next step and whether or not theyll eventually take on trump. If you get the pack of second place among republicans, i dont see anyone getting out. Unless they run out of money. A lot of people can make the case to move on. The street at the hockey arena. 5,000 people were there. Whats getting attention is what he repeated from a woman in the crowd right in front of him. He amplified it and repeated it. Talking about ted cruz. She just said a terrible thing. You know what she said . Shout it out because i dont want to okay. Youre not allowed to say, and i never expect to hear that from you again. She said, i never expect to hear that from you again. She said, hes a [ bleep ]. Thats terrible. Terrible. Even by donald trump standards, that was a word we had not seen him use in public that way before. Has a president ial candidate ever used that . Im going to say no. Meanwhile, bill and hinllary clinton campaigning last night. The former president introducing secretary clinton with maybe a sometimes when im on a stage like this, i wish we werent married. Then i could say what i really think. And i dont mean that in a negative way. That was interesting, also, to see bill clinton on the campaign trail with his wife. This is the second day yesterday was the second day in a row that bill clinton was the big dog as hes referred to in the world of politics, going after Bernie Sanders in this very aggressive way. You heard him there say, im hope holding back, really, because i want to say some other things. Among the things he did actually say, the Bernie Sanders campaign is being sexist and accused the campaign of being hypocrites regarding the ideas sanders posed. Willie and i have been out on the streets talking to different people in New Hampshire. The live free or die motto is something they take so seriously. About 44 of the voters here are undeclared. If you want to get a person from New Hampshire riled up, say what is undeclared . No one owns me. You wont know my vote until i walk in and cast the vote. Today, theyll decide. Theres a famous line New Hampshire voters use. Ive got my top three. I wont tell you who it is yet. Today, the top three becomes the top one for most people. Theres already been voting. Returns are in from three small New Hampshire towns. They get things going at midnight. Trump, kasich and cruz are tied with nine votes. Nine votes. Senator sanders leading secretary clinton, 167.

Many of us are tossing out groceries prematurity, resulting in 40 of our food supply ending up in the trash. Astounding. Today, jeff rossen did a little digging. Time we go grocery shopping. Jeff, good morning. Biggest fallacy. How often do you throw food out because you see i do it, too. My husband lives by the date. It has nothing to do with food safety. It is conjured up by the manufacture for peak freshness. Its about the taste of it all. Youre in the dairy section and go for eggs. You see the date on the eggs. Look at it and throw it out that date. Eggs will last in your fridge and taste delicious and be safe for three to five weeks after you bought them. Okay. Three to five weeks, youre good with the eggs. What you should do with eggs youll put it in the basket, al . Taking it away . Thats right. Things are tough for al at home. There are times it goes past the date. How can you tell if its fresh or not . This is a really cool trick. Get a bowl of water. Take one of the eggs and drop it into the water. If it drops to the bottom. It sinks, youre good. Probably needed a bigger bowl. Sink is good. Floating to the top is bad. What about cereals and crackers . Good for 9 to 12 months opened r unor unopened. Wait a minute. Doesnt taste great. Give me a big bowl of that. Youre shopping at the today show. Nothing to do with food safety. Its about peak freshness. Containers are so big. I feel like i always throw them out. Especially mayonnaise. The target thing in our head, well get sick from it. These are good a year and a half unopenene if you open them, mayonnaise, and i want to get this right, itll last two to three months, even if its opened. Okay. Do yachtnot throw it out based on the date. Mustard would last longer . 8 to 12 months. Crust. You can open this now and have it for your summer barbecue this summer. This is the one thing you need to Pay Attention to the date. The use by date on baby formula is the one date the fda regulates. Theres a lot on the line with babies. This is only good on that day. Its good until that day. After that, it doesnt make your baby sick but it loses nutrition nutritional value. You think your baby is getting nutrients but the nutritional value falls after that date. The flavor is never there to begin with. You have baby formula . This has nothing to do with leftovers in the fridge. Yours is an archaeological dig. My husband will not eat anything leftover. Deborah is like you. There are things walking in our refrigerator. Just in case. Once it walks, ill throw it out. You have leftovers but never eat them. Exactly. Jeff, good advice.

Having to endure Cancer Treatment is daunting for anyone. When its kids, the overwhelmingness, the tubes, the scariness of it. One teen came up with an idea to make the experience a little easier. Reporter in the 30 years that jim taught wood shop, hes never seen a project turn out quite like this. Something that started out as a small little project, to be able to expand like this is just terrific. Reporter his students at Auburn Riverside High School are sawing their way through the weekend because they know their task is more than academic. Its a legacy. Was the fact he hadnt made an impact. Reporter nick is 17yearold nick. He likes working on cars and getting his hands doppler radarirty in shop. He wanted to help younger kids. I thought it was a great plan. It would make a lot of kids happy. It is hard to have cancer when youre a little kid. Reporter nick faced Health Challenges his entire life. First battling a brain tumor when he was 4. Then growing up with leukemia. His parents, vince and christina, remember the years spent in and out of the hospital, at the timeredtethered to an iv pole. Youre connected to the pole 24 7. If you have to get up to do anything, the pole goes with you. Reporter sitting was uncomfortable. It wasnt until nick saw a little girl having a hard time that he had his ahha moment. There was a little girl trying to walk, and she got tired. Shed tried to ride on her pole and it wasnt working. Reporter the hospital had think of it like a skateboard that makes getting around easier. So nick told his folks hed make new ones in wood shop, enough for every kid in the hospital. Nick died before he could finish the job. Losing his fight with cancer last february. No matter what he was doing, he always had a smile on his face. Always helping people and looking out for others. Even when it was the hardest time for him and other people could tell, hed always make time for other people. Reporter to honor the spirit, nicks wood shop class came together to finish his lily pad project. A dozen kids up early on a saturday morning. The art design class joined in, painting each lily pad by hand. Finally, delivering them to the place where nick spent too much time. The simple thing means the world to patients and families. Thats what nick was really passionate about. Helping kids like this 3yearold, who is battling leukemia. Right now, she cant walk and can barely stand to support herself. The lily pad is her only way around. Each day, we basically make laps and laps around the corridors. She loves it. Reporter that was nicks plan, to help kids even when he couldnt be helped. I think its fun. To see the kids ride them. Thats what he would have wanted. He would have wanted to see all the kids, you know, out of bed, walking or riding the lily pad. It makes me so proud of nick. Reporter a teenager with a lasting legacy. No longer left to wonder about his impact. I kind of laugh. I want to go, nick, you were wrong. You made a big impact. But hes watching. He knows. Absolutely. Were going to be back in a first, this is suspense is killing us. Did we make it . 200,000, lets go. Boom thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Facebook.
