Reporter one witness said that sellis who live into the complex walked into the pool area where the group of friends were celebrating the 50th birthday of another tenant. When they invited him to join the party he apparently lifted up his shirt, took out the gun and started firing. He kept shooting until he was out of bullets.

Reporter this barn is where a High School Prom would have been held saturday night. If this had happened an hour later this thing would have been packed with kids. It wouldnt have turned out reporter the same destructive storm system pounding arkansas and missouri, flooding homes and washing out bridges. Weve been here 22 years and ive not seen it like. This it was just crazy. In arkansas, the search is on for two missing children swept away by the floodwaters. Here in east texas, thousands of people are left power and theres a massive cleanup everyday under way. Craig, savannah and al, back to you. Gabe, thank you. As we said, the threat of more Severe Weather not over. Its moving east and the same area thats been so hard hit going to get hit again later on this week with more heavy devastating rain. The flood warnings continue because the rivers are still rising as the runoff continues but you can see these storms moving to the east. So for today, 80 Million People at risk for Severe Weather. The enhanced risk stretching from upstate new york into northern north carolina. Tornados cant strongest storms will be from the great lakes into the northeast. Flood watches are up for northern maine, rainfall amounts anywhere from one to three inches but heres what were worried about. By midweek period from tuesday night into wednesday, strong storms firing up over the same areas where theyve had so much rain already. Were talking about anywhere from another three to five inches of rain, some areas locally, guys, could see another six inches of rain. So far, the first three months of this year have been the costliest in about 20 years over 6 billion worth of insurance claims filed already. And it looks like the month of april and may are going to be just as bad. Thank you very much. Well check back in with you. Now to washington where a critical budget deal has just been reached after weeks of tense negotiations. If approved, it would fund the government through september. Nbcs Kristen Welker is at the white house for us this morning. Hi, kristen, good morning. Reporter hi, savannah, Good Congress reached the funding deal overnight and after President Trump dropped his demand that spending from the border wall be included. Mr. Trump aiming to jump start the next 100 days of his presidency after a somewhat rocky start. Overnight, progress on capitol hill. Lawmakers reaching a deal to fund the government until the fall, averting a potential government shutdown. The bill will include billions in defense spending and Border Security but none of that money goes to funding a border wall or hiring i. C. E. Agents. Congress is expected to vote on the package this week. Earlier sunday, President Trump touting his Job Performance in an interview with cbs news. Its something that i really love and i think ive done a very good job at it. Reporter despite the failure of the republican effort to repeal and replace obamacare, the president insists the new gop plan has evolved. We have now preexisting conditions in the bill. We have weve set up a pool for the preexisting conditions so that the premiums can be allowed to fall. Reporter now, those comments come days after new amendment that would allow states to waive coverage of preexisting conditions in certain scenarios. Republicans are hoping for a vote on health care this week but its still not clear they have the votes. Savannah, craig . Kristen welker at the white house for us, thank you. President trump is also weighing in on the north korean crisis leaving open the possibility of u. S. Military action if kim jongun conducts a sixth nuclear test. Kelly cobiella is in seoul, secretary, with more. Kelly . Reporter its the conversation with Rodrigo Duterte thats rising eyebrows. The white house is defending what its calling a very friendly phone call with the controversial president of the philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, about the escalating situation in north korea. Im not . Sure its a matter of honoring this president. Its really a matter of a potential massive destruction in asia. Reporter duterte has drawn International Condemnation for his brutal crackdown on crime. That has claimed thousands of lives amid his countrys ongoing drug war. Mr. Trump inviting the leader to the white house, marking a change in direction in relations between the two nations. Duterte was a vocal critic of president obama, sometimes using crude language to describe the former president when he was in office. All of it comes as the president is down playing the significance of the latest failed north Korean Missile launch. This was a small missile, this was not a big missile, this was not a nuclear test. Reporter the unsuccessful launch detected by u. S. Military officials early saturday was believed to be a medium ranged landbased ballistic missile, a type that could be used to hit mobile targets like aircraft carriers. Trump is not ruling out using force against north koreas kim jongun. If he does a nuclear test i will not be happy. Does that mean military action . I dont know. Well see. Missiles. Reporter the president is raising his rise to power. At a very young age, he was able to assume power. A lot of people tried to take that power away, whether it was his uncle or anybody else and he was able to do it so obviously hes a pretty smart cookie. Reporter this morning, were hearing from north Koreas Foreign Ministry responding to the u. S. Policy of maximum pressure and engagement by vowing to push their Nuclear Programs at a maximum pace. Savannah, craig . All right, Kelly Cobiella in south korea, thank you. Now to the story we talked about at the top, scary moments on passengers from an arrow plot flight. Tom, what did you learn. Reporter these injuries are said to be quite severe. Two dozen people and the video of the aftermath on board the plane is of the plane, some of them seemingly unconscious, others moaning in pain. We also are seeing catering carts upended with broken bottles, food strewn about the cabin. The Russian Embassy in thailand says this happened just 40 minutes before the plane landed in bangkok after a trip in from moscow. Passengers who werent seated were literally thrown to the ceiling when the plane hit clear air turbulence. The injuries are said to involve broken bones, internal and external bleeding, medics met the team on the ground and took 25 people to area hospitals, including babies. There was an aeroflot boeing 777 and thailand is a major resort destination for russian tourists. Clear air turbulence can happen literally without warning. It happens when an air mass meets another air mass moving at a different speed almost like two fastmoving rivers meeting and colliding. Very difficult to anticipate. Its why flight attendants always say keep your seatt seat. Back to you. Terrifying. Tom, thank you very much. Now to more dramatic video showing a massive explosion just moments after a wrongway crash. This one happened last night on interstate 75 in dayton, ohio. You can see that thick plume of black smoke pouring from the vehicles when suddenly a huge ball of flames shoots into the air there. Police say a 30yearold driver was killed after traveling the wrong way on the highway and slamming into an oil tanker. The truck driver, meanwhile, suffered minor injuries. Southbound lanes of i75 are expected to be closed for the rest of the day. Now to the hack attack that has hollywood on edge.

Lets do a check of this mornings stories. Investigators searching for a motive in a san diego. A 49yearold man opened fire on guests at an apartment complex pool party. He killed one women and injured 17 others. When the police moved in, the suspect aimed a gun at officers and they opened fire. Theyre just cleaning up from powerful weekend storm, high winds and tornados blamed for deaths across that region. The weekend deluge has rivers rising. Its expected along parts of m. O. s Current River later in the week. We have a picture that will make you smile. Do you know who that is . Cute, though. That is princess charlotte. The duke and duchess of cambridge releasing this brand new photo ahead of her second birthday. She looks like will. Doesnt she look like william . As cute as she can be. But you said you know who that is . And we had a big graphic that said its princess charlotte. Thats how i knew. Adorable. In the meantime, this is a story that will get you founder Mark Zuckerberg. He traveled to parts of the midwest. He says these trips are helping him with his work and philanthropy but others think he has his eye on a bigger prize, perhaps the white house. Nbc National CorrespondentPeter Alexander has the story. Good morning, peter. Good morning, for Mark Zuckerberg, that focus on philanthropy will give him a greater voice in washington so this weekend road trip hitting four states in three days could be more Good Business or perhaps its something more with some asking whether zuckerberg may have 20 20 vision. The 32yearold facebook founder made a surprise stop in ohio over the weekend. It was so incredible. It was amazing. Reporter dining at home with the moore family. He thinks he can do more in his company than getting stuck with the gridlock in washington. Reporter Mark Zuckerberg reportedly asking his staff to find democrats who voted for donald trump last nove. Lisa and daniel moore both voted for president obama twice but didnt know zuckerberg would be their mystery guest until 15 minutes before dinner. My adrenaline is still running high. Reporter the dinner highlighting a full plate of weekend travel for zuckerberg, all of in the the midwest. On friday meeting with Muslim Students at the university of michigan in dearborn. Saturday sitting down with recovering opioid addicts in dayton, ohio, and sunday stopping by a family farm in wisconsin. Zuckerbergs has been keeping a running diary of his travels on his facebook page. Im here with my friend. Reporter in between, zuckerberg is swinging by south bend, indiana, taking a driving tour with the citys democratic mayor. This didnt feel like a political visit. We certainly werent talking about politics. We were talking about community, we were talking about jobs and the economy. Reporter its not a onetime deal, zuckerbergs visited at least 10 states since january. When he announced a personal challenge to have visited and met people in every sta leading some to speculate zuckerberg may be dipping his toe into the political waters. The first sign, this line buried in last years s. E. C. Filing by facebook that read mr. Zuckerbergs leave of absence or resignation would not constitute a voluntary resignation if it were in connection with his serving in a government position or office. Here on today with savannah back in 2014 he alluded to undisclosed future plans. Im just so grateful to have the opportunity that ive had to serve so many people and i think the best is yet to come. Reporter as for the moores, they say if zuckerberg runs, theyre in. I doubt if he would run but if he did i would vote for him because i trust him. Reporter asked if he had plans to run for president , zuckerberg simply said no. With more than a billion people logging on to facebook each day, zuckerberg hardly lacks for a public platform but hell have a good one later this month when he returns to where it began, that famously dropped out of. He will be back this time as its commencement speaker. Savannah, back to you. Peter, thank you so much. We want to bring in Nicolle Wallace on this. Were already thinking about 2020. Do you think hes laying the ground work for a run or do we need to get a grip . I think there are two things we learned from the republican primary, and i never thought those words would come out of my mouth, but the democrats should look at this like a basketball tournament and they should have an outsider bracket and hes a perfectly adequate candidate to put in the outsider bracket and the other bracket is the comfy jeans bracket where you put Fan Favorites like joe biden and bernie sanders. The problem for Mark Zuckerberg is that as a brand and policymaker facebook is associated with things like fake news. People have killed themselves on facebook. People have murdered people on facebook so its not associated with the public good. Step back into your old life as a campaign consultant. If you were advising zuckerberg, what advice would Nicolle Wallace give him . Id tell him to drop the hoodies, to drop the Company Profile for all the reasons i just listed and id tell him to stop thinking that leaving one of the coasts makes you president ial material. It used to be the heads of Sears Roebuck and the people that make cars would spend all their time in the middle of the country where people live so the notion that its even the beginning of a credential to run for president to simply leave a coast is ludicrous. Real quickly. Joe biden was chatting over the weekend. Lets look at what he has to say. Guys, im not running. [ laughter ] i know it caused a lot of speculation. [ boos ] no. Look hes not running but he decided he would be 78 when he did. You talked to trump democrats. Are they open to him . Every one said they would have voted for him. Hes beloved and id say we talk about how president obama is the leader of the Democratic Party, we know he can never run again. Most popular leader of the Democratic Party about he can still run. Nicolle, see you for the next four years. Thank you so much. Big congrats, by the way, new show. Congratulations. Thank you, guys. Does it have a title, yet . No. How about the Nicolle Wallace show. Nicolle at 4 00. Just named it. Roker is here with another check of the forecast. I dont think youll be cohosting with Mark Zuckerberg. You didnt think that went well . Wow. Hey, how am i doing . Look at this, some of the rain we have gotten out of this system over the last 48 hours. Since friday morning, rogers arkansas over ten and a half inches of rain, all the way to seven and a half in parts of illinois. Generally about 32 trillion gallons of rain fell. That would equal 49 million olympic sized swimming pool. That, my friends, is a lot of water. And the tornado reports aret spread over 30 states. Thats way above the average of about 485. Now, for the rest of the day today we have those severe storms making their way into the east coast and the ohio river valley down into the gulf. River flooding still continues in the midplains and may snow into the northern plains. Thats whats going on around the country. Heres whats happening in your neck of the goods. Good monday morning. Starting off dry, 73 degrees, but we will keep the clouds around and temperatures will warm up ahead of thunderstorms. These thunderstorms could be strong to severe late in the day. The main threat being damaging winds. We can never rule out an isolated tornado but, again, that will be after about 5 00 p. M. Today. Most of your day will be dry, those storms will be here this evening with highs in the mid80s. Tomorrow 77 degrees, much drier, sunny, cooler as we go into wednesday.

Just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. And i was worried about joint damage. My doctor said joint pain from ra can be a sign of existing joint damage that could only get worse.

This week marks 10 years of the mysterious disappearance of Madelyn Mccann. After a decade of chasing leads around the world, are detectives any closer to figuring out what happened . Nbcs chief global correspondent bill neely is in london. Bill, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, craig, good morning, savannah. Its the beginning of a week the mccann family has been dreading ten long years since threeyearold madeleine disappeared. No trace of her has ever been found. Now in an interview mccanns parn is alive. Kate and gerry mccann lost their daughter and a decade, ten years of pain since madeleine disappeared. They call it stolen time. Its time that we should have had with madeleine. We should have been a family of five for all that time. And, yeah, it does feel stolen. I think before madelyn weine taken we had a perfect Nuclear Family of five and now were a family of four. Reporter madeleine vanished on a farmly vacation in portugal, left in an apartment, discovered missing by her mother who went to check on her while eating with friends. She found the window open, her daughter gone. For ten years, madeleines been the focus of a global search and every birthday, every christmas her parents search for a present for their missing daughter. I couldnt not, you know . Shes still our always be our daughter. Reporter for all the searching, what tortures them, the total lack of evidence, is also what comforts them. Theres no evidence that madelma madeleines dead. Reporter they cling to hope their daughter is still alive. That hope is still there. No parent is going to give up on their child unless they know for certain the child is dead and we dont have any evidence. My hope of madeleine being out there is no less than it was almost ten years ago. Reporter British Police have never dealt with a case like it. Weve got no definitive evidence whether madeleine is alive or dead so we have to keep an open mind. Reporter just last month they said theyre pursuing a significant line of inquiry. Ten years on, hope again. But this week will be hard. Everyday is another day without madelyn. 10 is a get by as we have any other year, surrounded by family and friends. Well be there remembering madelyn as we always have. I think the day and the pointipoint y pointian poignancy of it, inevitably anniversaries are by far the hardest. By far. Reporter so in the next week or so kate mccann will go shopping far 14th birthday present for madeleine and four detectives will keep on searching and dozens of other parents of other missing children will wonder why this little girl captured the worlds attention and so much police time. Craig, savannah, hoda . Bill, thanks. Bill neely in london. Such a heart breaker. Coming up, we will shift gears and get over to the orange room.

I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to.

The fire festival was billed as a luxury destination music experience with beach side parties, fan bungalows and food with Celebrity Chefs but this is what they saw. Thsa arrive. Barely assembled relief tents and box lunches. Distraught attendees shared the scene on social media. You can see beds piled up outside of the tents. People sleeping on their suitcases, a completely unassembled concierge desk and, this is my favorite, cheese sandwiches that were served for dinner. Even the festivals headliner blink 182 backed out saying we wont perform at fyre fest, were not confident we would have what we need to give you the quality of performances we always give our fans. The festival cofounder ja rule tweeted he was heartbroken and organizers released a statement and said we thought we were ready, but everyone arrived. The team was overwhelmed. The fyre team takes full responsibility for the issues that occurred. All Ticket Holders will receive a full refund and a vip ticket to next years fyre fund. [ laughter ] really . Next year . That statement is my favorite. We thought we were ready and then people showed up. Then we realized we werent. Those tickets were pricey, by the way, upwards of 500. Can you imagine . I guess its not better in the bahamas. Next years is going to be better. Thats the prediction.

Available at zales, jared and kay. [ cheers and applause ] welcome back on this she was a symbol of grace in the aftermath of jfks assassination. A new book highlights everything about jackies trips for ice cream in the middle of the night. I loved her and she loved me. Kathy worked as the personal assistant to Jackie Kennedy. For months after the assassination of president kennedy, jackie, still a young woman of 34, was facing an uncertain future. Now in new york with her two small children, caroline seven and john just four. Kathy was 19 interviewing for a job with the most famous woman in the world. All of a sudden she cohe com down the hallway with his dog and i said my name is john. And i said my name is kathy. He said do you want to see my dog do a trick . So he put his hand up and said go, shannon, go, go. And then all of a sudden this lady what are you doing . Youre ruining my couch. And she said im mrs. Kennedy, your name is kathy, right . And i said yes. And she said when can you start . Little john helped you. Little john interviewed me with his dog. He did. Cat lived with jackie and her kids on 5th avenue for the next seven years, rarely leaving mrs. Kennedys side. So you saw a side of Jackie Kennedy that few people outside her own children would have seen. You saw jackie at home. Id seen jackie at home, yes. What is that jackie like . Shes very, very polite. Very sweet, very kind. When caroline and johns nanny had time off, cat says she helped care for the kids. Three months into the job, little caroline asked cat the question whispered by so many where are you when my father was killed . She says i thought in your opinion new york. I said, no, no, i was in ireland. I asked her where were you . She said i was in the white house. And she said i dont believe what happened to my father. I dont believe what happened to my father. He was such a good man. The familys heart break was eased by a devoted uncle and friend, Bobby Kennedy, struggling with his own loss, he lived with his family just blocks away. What was their relationship like . Jackie and Bobby Kennedy . They were good, good friends. He came to see the kids all the time. They loved him, they loved him. Then the unthinkable five years after the death of john kennedy, Bobby Kennedy was gunned down. Cat says she mourned on the train carrying their uncles body to washington. John was on the floor playing with a toy car, startled, he jumped to cat. Somebody threw a wreath, like a christmas wreath through the window and john said are they coming to get us, too . I said, no, john, that was somebody very sad for your uncle. He thought it was a gunshot . Yes, he thought it was a gunshot. Not long after that, the former first lady surprised many by marrying Aristotle Onassis. You had seen Aristotle Onassis but you thought they were just friends, didnt realize there was another relationship. I never put two and two together. Was she happy then . She was happy, yes, very happy. And when cat got married, jackie and her kids attended her wedding in queens. Cat moved out of the 5th avenue apartment but continued to work for the family for years, even after jackies death, spending summers in the kennedys hyannis home managing the estate. When jackie died in 1994, cats last visit with her became all the more meaningful. Jackie gave her treasured personal photos. This is carolines wedding. Thats care yes. Cats scrapbook filled with her lifetime of memories is a rare glimpse into history, too, and some of the sweetest memories are most simple. I like she says they can have cousins and friends stay with them at the apartment, four or five. No more. Underlined. Yes, she was good for that, yes. This is from john, it says kathy, just so you know, i got here late last night, see you in the morning, love john. He didnt have keys to get in and he came through the laundry room window and he didnt want to scare me in the morning to thats why he wrote the note and left on the kitchen table. I can just see him climbing through the window. In 1999 when news broke that john f. Kennedy jr. s plane was missing cat refused to believe he was gone, expecting him to show up in hyannis at any time. And they said, the plane did go down. It was so sad. So sad. Everybody loved him. Everybody loved him. And when you think about it now and you reflect back and now youve written the book d and your memories, how do you think about this whole experience . I cant believe where i ended up and who i worked for. It was so nice to be part of that family. Cat mccowan is such a lovely, lovely person and shes had all this memorabilia. It makes you wonder why she didnt write a book sooner. I asked her and she said her grand kids started asking her and she thought maybe ill write it down, maybe ill tell the story. All the memorabilia. It seems like a craig scrapbook you get at kmart. And all of this is priceless stuff you cant believe. We mentioned Jackie Kennedy went to her wedding and she said one of her relatives asked Jackie Kennedy to dance and she never forgave him for it. [ laughter ] i said do you remember the relative .

That Severe Weather weve been talking about caused all the big problems through the midwest, its heading to the east and we can see showers and thunderstorms from the great lakes into the gulf coast.

Its mild, already in the low to mid70s and that enhanced risk for Severe Weather chances later this afternoon. Chance of getting rained on, 70 , be ready for it. Most likely after 6 00 this evening. Dry weather tomorrow. Thats your latest weather. Savannah . We are joined by nbcs Senior Correspondent tom brokaw who documented what became known as the greatest generation after world war ii. This morning he brings us the stories veterans from the war in vietnam. Good to see you. Thank you. Its great to be here. I had a wonderful time at a reunion recently and one of the most remarkable stories coming out of vietnam involved those american pilots imprisoned in the north in brutal conditions, many for years, seven, eight years. And yet so many emerged and picked untheir lives, even resuming their military careers, they were bound by brotherhood and the exhilaration of flight. I joined some of them for a reunion in san antonio. General chuck boyd, u. S. Air force retired has never lost his love of flight. Not even after almost seven years in a north vietnamese prison. Theres a special bond that exists between men who not only survived but in many ways prevailed under difficult circumstances. Boyd was shot down on 23ri 22, 1966, and experienced some of the worst the north vietnamese prison system had to offer, including the infamous hanoi hilton. So did julius and tom curtis. Is there a time or week and a month where you dont remember where you were when you were in prison . Ever present fact. Reporter facing isolation and torture, the p. O. W. S were desperate to communicate with one another, but how . There were six pilots that were taken prison, a guy named Smitty Harris and he remembered learning about a tap code taught in survival school. Reporter the tap code harris taught them was based on a simple 5 x 5 matrix with the letter c standing in for k. If you tapped once and paused and tapped again it was an a. If you tapped once and two together it was reporter suddenly the prisoners were suddenly no longer alone. Every tap, every word meant home. We did it religiously because i shortly learned communication was the key to my survival. Absolutely. Without that, i wouldnt be here today. Reporter by chance, another captured pilot was a Spanish Language whiz. Ken fisher became a tap code professor. They use med like a dictionary. He would send words and the guy in between the cell would come over and top them on our wall and we would collect them in our minds. All by tap . All by tap. Reporter how good was your spanish when you tried it back here. I found out that absolutely everything that this man taught me was correct. Absolutely everything. Reporter it wasnt just a language, it was a lifeline. Astonishing astonishingly, all three emerged from captivity speaking spanish fluentl thats something you learned, about how the brain works and how endlessly powerful it is. The brain is not like a computer disk, it doesnt get full. The more you put into it, the more it expands and becomes greater. Reporter perspective on what matters earned the hard way. Any day the door handle is on your side, its a good day. Reporter to honor those who did not return and to celebrate those who did, boyd leads a ceremonial missing man flyover, soaring high, forever free. Remarkable. I couldnt learn spanish with an instructor standing right in front of me but they didnt have anything really else to do and they all said the brain has so much greater capacity than we realize and that if you keep testing it, it keeps expanding its ability to deal they also talk about the things they remember they didnt know had been buried in their brain and that was activated in part by this exercise. Its so interesting because here they went through this incredible ordeal, tortured, all the rest of it, but that Human Connection is so important to them. Several of them told you if it werent for each other they would havent made it. And well do a story tonight on nbc nightly news that deals with just that, two guys who got their final 100th flight and the other people who had been in prison and the fact that they all emerged as whole as they are is astonishing. Tom brokaw, terrific. Thank you for that. Just ahead, we are going to get a real treat. Everybody is excited because two of the funniest women in hollywood, amy schumer, goldie hawn, they star in a new movie together. Oh, my goodness, cant wait.

Amy just said the most terrifying thing. She said is this live . I said yes, amy, its live. I said, dont worry, ive grown, ive evolved. Shes evolved over the last year. I dont even recognize her. Who is this woman . Okay, stay classy, its morning tv. Good morning. I saw the movie over the weekend. You are both delights. Its hilarious and kind of wrong in some areas in a very amy schumer way. What . Thank you. You pitched goldie for this part on the airplane and she had no idea who you were . That is pretty correct. I left her alone during the flight. I never met. Then i went up and harassed her and i was like i want you to play my mom in this i really you know, i thought you were the cutest thing but im still trying to remember, you know, when that happened. Were you like security . No one remembers meeting me, its hurtful. Its not but theres that thing where youre getting your bag or doing your thing and amy came up and she was just sweet and adorable and all of it and i didnt you know, i hadnt seen the somehow. Girl, its all good. I feel bad. In your mind when you read it you were like its got to be goldie. Goldies got to be your mom. 100 . Yeah. I could ask why although its kind of obvious because shes amazing and a legend. Theres no one funnier than goldie. Theres no one else youre funnier than me. I cant even respond to that. Im thinner than you but thats it. Thats it. Movie in a long time. You were kind of out of it for about 10 years or so. I was so out of it, i dont remember where i was, what i was doing. I think she was in jail, personally. I was in jail. You were enjoying your real normal life but then no, i was working on a program for children. So what i did is i went off from poe deucing movies to producing a program for children. Which is very important. I disagree. Now, i dont care for children and this is where we differ. This is where we clash, right . So thats what i did for those years and im loving it and im still doing it. Well, i have to say you were a complete match in terms of mother daughter chemistry. In fact, goldie i read a quote and you said i look at amy and i watch her. She could have been my daughter. Would have been a troubled daughter. Isnt that the truth . I said that on graham norton. We said a lot of things on there we cant say here. What advice would you give to amy if she were your daughter . You dont give advice. See, thats the thing. What advice do you give somebody .

Up next, the cast of the godfather reunited years later. What they have to say about matt about the iconic movie that could surprise you. But first this is today on nbc. T [ cheers and applause ] this is exciting. Making, this year marks the 45th anniversary of the godfather franchise. Cant believe it, can you . Over the weekend, matt sat down with the originals and the sequels, robert duvall, talia shire as well as Robert De Niro who brought the cast back together for the tribeca Film Festival and matt found the stars havent lost their touch. It was the offer five hollywood legends could not refuse the chance to reunite for the 45th anniversary of one of the greatest movie franchises in history. Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. The godfather. I was telling my friends in the office they were going to do this, aside from their jealousy, they were all shocked to hear its 45 years. Does it feel that long to you, al . Well, everything feels long to me now. Everything is, like, in the distance and i question whether i did it or not, that kind of thing. No, its that long because its somewhat in conscious life, its referred to a lot, its sort of ever present, those movies. The godfather follows the epic rise and fall of the corleone crime family. Dont ever take sides with anyone against the family again. At the helm, a young director named Francis Ford Coppola who seamlessly weaved together horror [ screaming ] and heart break. My boy. The truth of the matter is and this may never happen again and its all really due to francis, the director. Hes your brother. Hes my brother. The story i read, talia, is he didnt want you in the movie because he didnt want you to have to witness some of what he was going to have to go through in that movie. And it was its all true. Its all true because he could have been fired at any minute. Apparently the dailies came in very dark and at a certain moment after two weeks it together and they went theres something really great here. But was the studio in favor of you getting cast as michael corleone . No. My god. As somebody said there, brando, pacino, over my dead body. The wedding scene sticks in my mind here. Describe what its like to be shooting a scene dancing at what was your wedding with Marlon Brandon. I was overwhelmed. I couldnt believe when he came towards me. Very handsome man. Im dancing with him and im tripping but he was so kind to me. Such a kind man. Dancing with Marlon Brando i know the movie premiered in 1972 and became the highestgrossing movie of its time. But during filming, not everyone was so sure of its success. The story goes out a couple weeks in after the wedding scene was shot you and diane keaton go out, have a couple drinks and say this movie is going to suck. This is going to flop. He not me. You didnt think so . You thought it was going to be a hit . Absolutely. Why did you think it was going to be a hit . Well, it was a great script but the whole environment of shooting something, at the time we were so young and inexperienced. We didnt know what film making was. Especially when youre doing scenes and hearing people snickering. Youre saying well, this isnt going well. When is the ball going to fall . Any way, francis being as clever as he is gets the scheduled change and puts the solozzo scene first so he shows the studio this is what pacino can do. Coppolas bold style opened the door to a whole new world of film making, both his original masterpiece and its equally acclaimed sequel were rewarded with oscars and the two men who played veto corleone best actor. I was honored to be chosen, that francis wanted me for the second. The first was a big hit, the second was going to be the idea of playing brando when he was younger, it was great. No trepidations about that . Kind of taking on a different version of that same veto corleone . No, no, not at all. Was the sequel better than the original . Geez james caan might have something to say about that but was the sequel better than the origin all . Except that i wasnt in it. It was different. I think francis was trying to express something there that he was really talking and thinking of michael. Hopefully better than the third one. [ laughter [ laughter ] the second movie starred both al pacino and Robert De Niro. They never shared a scene but their steely any truth to it . What do you mean . No. We you know, weve known each other a long time. We were up for the same parts but thats what it is. Its but not a rivalry. We sort of grew up together. Yeah, once i told him one night i forget what was it the thing with depalma . Scar face. Scar face. I said if you dont do it, im going to do it. That worked out for me. Happy 45th anniversary and for bringing this group together. Bobby de niro made this happen. He did this. Lets hear it for de niro. Way to go, guys. Thank you, tribeca. Very cool somewhere matt is still pinching himself. Like did that happen . I think this morning he woke up and watched that segment. How exciting. Good to hear james caan echo whos seen the trilogy they were both better than the third. Oh, no you didnt. Little known fact, dylan watch this is movie every christmas. Its become our christmas tradition. Its always on, that music just gives me chills. By the way, if you cant get enough, matt will have more of the interview and behindthescenes stories later in the week from that cast. Looking forward to that. Coming up, an eyeopening new look at the nations Opioid Epidemic from families who experienced that firsthand. But first, this is today on nbc. Well its a perfect nespresso hold on a second. Orge. Mmm. [mel torme sings comin home baby] hey there. Want a lift . Where are we going . No dont tell me. Let me guess. Have a nice ride. How far would you go for coffee thats a cup above .

Com back, now, at 8 50, with a [ cheers and applause ] back at 8 50 be a new documentary serving as a wakeup call for a lot for families. Warning, this drug may kill you shines a light on the nations Opioid Epidemic. Youve been looking at this, stephanie. Reporter the numbers are startling. We have recent years, heroin overdoses have tripled. Everyone ask what can be done. This documentary focuses on awareness with stories told by the people who tragically understand the problem better than anyone. If somebody told me six years ago that i was going to be a heroin addict i would have thought that they were crazy. Lynn was starting not to get out of bed. Thats when i started finding the pill bottles around the house. It almost felt like i was the parent. Its like the roles switched where id be searching her room for drugs. Reporter four families, four stories about opioids and their destructive power. I felt happy. I felt warm. I felt like it loved me and i loved it back. Reporter a raw personal look at the drug epidemic from filmmaker perry paltz in hbos new documentary warning, this drug may kill you. These are very different families, different stories, different parts of the country that each of these families, each of these stories began with a prescription from a doctor, a real legitimate prescription for pain. Reporter like stephanie, who took painkillers after getting kidney stones as a teenager and then started sharing them with her sister ashley. We didnt know what could happen, you know . We thought thought, like, well, our doctor started giving us the these painkillers so it cant be that bad. Reporter the sisters got hooked. Ashley overdosed and died. As did lynn doyle, a mother of three. And bran dan cole, a promising young athlete. For the longest time, i couldnt come in his room. Its literally like the day he died. It took me a year to come in and throw his garbage out. Reporter just a few of the tens of thousands of deaths a year from overdoses, now a number greater than from car crashes. What do you see is the biggest obstacle grappling with this epidemic . The biggest obstacle in my opinion, without a doubt, is the stigma. The stigma that surrounds the disease of addiction. One of the moms said it so well when our son overdosed and died, people didnt come around with casseroles the way they do if your child dies of another disease. What i think this film helps us do is understand this isnt people choosing an alternative lifestyle, that these are people truly suffering from opioid addiction. Reporter and many people, like those in this film, have little idea of how quickly they can get hooked . We know if a patient is prescribed a tenday supply that one in five patients wind up stuck on opioids long term. Theres a good chance a lot of us will find ourselves in a position where we are prescribed an opioid for pain. Should we be scared of that prescription . What we feel is get off these drugs as quickly as you can. Dont keep them in your medicine chest, because that is its own recipe for disaster. Producers of the film arent arguing that opioids are all bad but we need to understand them better and doctors need to write fewer prescriptions. The other key is an attitude change towards addiction and that may be tougher. The stigma is hard to shake and they hope these stories will help shake it a bit. Wow, just to think that just that brief tenday supply and it could change your life. Stephanie, thank you so much. This documentary airs tonight on hbo. Were back in a moment, this is today on nbc.

John kingston and the rich kids. I look forward to mondays because i like to hear what you did over the weekend. We played snippets on instagram. Al . I dont believe this. I went to the metropolitan ope opera. Renee fleming is retiring. I look like im retiring. But retire ago number of her most famous roles. This is a three act opera, its four and a half hours. This was friday night. Youd been going since 3 00 that morning. I fell asleep during the first act, the second act, the second intermission and the third act. That wasnt the plan. No, i was going to nap during the second intermission because Renee Fleming wasnt second act but it just you know, the music. It just takes you. Did a friend take the picture. . Deborah took the picture. But she admitted she dozed off a couple times, too. I doze off during the nutcracker which is beautiful and lovely but its hard going to these at night when youve been up and it went until 11 30 at night. Why dont they have an express opera . I felt like your sleep would be a pretty sleep, dylan. Thats an ugly sleep. You were out you may as well just close the casket and call it a day. I used to think if you can close one eye the other eye would stay open. Not so much. But some people youre like are they just resting your eyes . But i have such a good night sleep. I went for a bike ride along the hudson river which was lovely. Even got down to the little lighthouse under beneath the George Washington bridge. A great kids story. Look it up, its a great kids book about the story of the Little Red Lighthouse underneath the gwb. Then my sonic got confirmed on sunday. He made his confirmation and goodlooking lad. Theres my family. Good looking family, too. Thank you very much. Except for me but other than that you look nice and rested . Theres our christmas card. Hes towering over you. Every picture. Leila keeps going hello, little man, how are you . Youre such a cute little man. Youre so cute. Little daddy. Thank you, sweetheart. And for dinner, in the New York Times cooking section, i love it it was i think it was mark bitman but its boneless leg of lam with an anchovy garlic ro rosemary crust. I dont even like that looks delicious. You dont like lamb . No, the only thing i dont eat is lamb. Next time youll come over. I think youll like it. Okay, so i am intrigued by your weekend. You had a weekend. But brian likes to videotape things that are happening around the house and i was putting p. J. S on calvin so heres my thing. Its like youre being possessed by edith bunker. Its so dumb. Or marge simpson. Look at his face. They say talk to your kids through everything youre doing. But dont scare them if you look closely, he smiles a bit. Its almost like hes like whats mom doing . I i was telling him hes wearing lobsters to bed. So in keeping with that theme, you got in a big pot of salt water. I did. This is one of the coolest things ive ever done. This is supposed to be relaxing. Do we have the picture or do we have to show it on the phone . I sent them in but looks like a dark blue something. This is the tank you go into, theres stars on the ceiling, theres water all in the bottom, they fill it up with tons and tons of epsom salt so when you go in here we go, so when you go in you float immediately without even trying because theres so much salt in the water its like the dead sea. So you lay in here and then this is me. I have plugs in. The gist of the whole thing is you put you close the door, you turn off all the light so its pitch black. Your ears are underwater so you cant heara temperature as your body. So like sensory deprivation. So youre supposed to be ultimately relaxed and you just sleep. How long were you in there . I was in there for an hour. I was having so much fun. Id put my hands up and spin around. Like a kid playing around. If only you were playing opera music you would i would have fallen asleep. Thats cool. This is an interesting thing. Whats the point . To feel free . Its supposed to be ultimate relaxation. I felt almost heavy. Youre floating and weightless and then i got out and i had the shakes. Wow, this sounds great. I was also starving. I feel like ive got three times the gravity pulling on me and ive got the shakes. Sign me up. It was a different experience. Speaking of feeling free, heres the thing. One of my friends were calling it a sprinkle because she so instead of a shower shes having her third daughter. So its a sprinkle. What are you thinking about. What . Its a sprinkle . Okay. Sprinkle because this was for the moms as well so when we celebrate you having your baby.

Up next, the story of a boxer who inspired the film rocky. Liev schreiber is here to tell us about his latest passion project chuck right after these messages. Actor Liev Schreiber is best known for his roles as a professional fixer and as saber tooth in the movie x men origins. Now. Now hes taking on the part of the man who inspired the hit film rocky. How can i help you follow boxing . Rocky. I can handle this. Would you mind telling her that chuck wepnor is here. Is he expecting you . What . Is he expecting you . Yeah. Yeah, hes expecting us. Thats good, liev, good morning to you. Good morning to you. Lets talk about many this movie. It was a passion project of yours. What drew you to this role to chuck wepner . Ive always been a fan of boxing and when michael ke brou the script ten years ago i was shocked and embarrassed that i didnt know chucks story. I feel better because i didnt, either and i thought, you know, i lived in philly for ten years, we all know rocky but i didnt realize it was based on, you know, this guy here. Chuck was a remarkable guy, a incredible story. When it comes to fighting in the movie how much of that was real . Did you want it to be as real as possible . we had a couple boxers come in from wild card east to do some boxing on radon vy develop a donovan. And they were making contact because they spar together so much they know each others timing and i thought thats the way to do boxing on film because pooch hall, the actor who plays muhammad ali and i are also sparring partners i thought why dont we try to learn the fights, practice and he can make contact because i think so much of what defines chuck as a fighter is resilience and getting hit and moving through that because ali put a whooping on him that night. So thats what we did. At the end of a day of filming i was a little swollen. I had so much prosthetics on and pooch, to his credit, has tremendous control. Whats the message you want people to take away from this . I think for me, you know, weve had the script for ten years. I think in the course of that time ive had a couple of children and ive been on a Television Show so the aspect of chucks life that i think is a kind of cautionary tale about fame and our desire to be appreciated by the anonymous mob rather than the ones nearest and dearest was something that had a profound affect on me. You played intense characters but can we talk about my little pony for a second . Probably one of the more intense characters. You play the evil guy. Im usually the bad guy. Thats another thing i love about chuck because i think chuck is a good guy. I have to do something my kids can see. Cheers to that. Liev, thank you so much. All the best. Chu chuck is in theaters this friday. Coming up, bathing suits that can make you feel like being a rock star. This is a great conversation. No matter what conversation after your local news.

The today show continues in a moment. If loving your body if loving your body in a swimsuit sounds like a dream, we want to change that today. Here with five women to celebrate swimsuits for all shapes and sizes is Deputy Editor of style watch brittany bourke. Brittany, good morning. Good morning. Were excited and the girls look beautiful. They do. So we should just jump right in. Lets do it. This is audrey. Shes rocking the offtheshoulder look. I love this. So pretty. We love this suit. So flattering and this is a highwaisted bikini so if you want more coverage you can have that on the bottom and it hits at your natural waist and that trend you were talking about, the offtheshoulder, we get the little bit of collar bob and its on trend with the ruffle if you want a two piece but modesty around the tummy, its beautiful and not that expensi e expensive. Each piece is 25 from old navy. 50 bucks isnt bad. For a whole bathing suit thats gorgeous, flatters he curves, loves the way it highlights that shape. I like this one because of the pattern is bold but still a one piece if you dont want to go two piece. And tyla is wearing this gorgeous we love a graphic print. But this is super flattering, you see the way it creates an hour glass pattern on her which long wait going gaiths elon her. You stand taller, who doesnt want to look taller. It has that controllable halter neck which is on trend and then it lets you have more support if you would like it or if you have smaller chest you can just rock super flattering. I love the back with the crisscross. Our next model is patrice and i love the bright colors in this. This top is i love this suit, too. This is echo design. Its a great way to wear people think a bra bathing suit top is boring but it doesnt have to be. This is great because it gives you support if you have a bigger chest on the beach and youll be playing Beach Volleyball but if you have a smaller one you dont have to have a ton of padding. Squeeze them out when you get out of the water. Super cute. So this next one i like because of the shear trend is in. But not all of us can rock shear all over the place so this is shear in the right places. This is so true and its just like a one piece is so people think its boring but it can be so interesting. This shear creates a flattering illusion. You highlight her waist which shows off her gorgeous curves and has this cool halter trend beshowing in the a new way. It shows off the shoulders but it has a cool neckline and we also tried this on every single girl, looked amazing in this suit. This is cool, everybody looked great in it. Any favorite. Where is this from . Kenneth cole, house of swim for under 100. All right, lets bring out katie who you said that youre very active so this is a good bathing suit for that. Yes, we love a one piece that has some support. This is from gabby fresh who makes great curvy bathing suits and we love it has that retro neckline but it has that sexy modern look of the zipper, you can unzip it.

And what happens when 16yearold ray, played by elle fanning, wants to transition from female to male. Wasnt sure if we had a clip. Good morning to you guys. Good morning. This is so good. I feel like its a must see. What took you guys so long to Work Together . They usually only allow one gal per film. [ laughter ] and then you hate each other and youre not in the same scene. Its very rare that you get to hang out. But in all seriousness, we were talking about the fact that transgender issues are very topical. It strikes a chord and you learn a lot when youre watching it. Talk about this film. I think one of the reasons it appealed to us was that it was so accessible, it does its not a documentary but it does bring up fears that a parent concerns and this amazing all of the specifics that a kid would be going through and plus another subplot. You do find out but its kind of funny. Its like a sitcom. But im so stupid in it. I ask the dumb questions and not have the misconception so it gives a voice to concerns and shes the mom so shes kind of were all going through it in our different ways on different time programs so its just it can relate to every person in terms of their schedule. Its a story about real people. It causes some kind of discussion. Im always so happy when i would go out to a film with my kids and te about them even days later but elle grounds it. She goes from being this geeky girl to being this powerhouse and it shows you how much it means to her him at that point. And elle was only 16 when she shot this. What do you think it was like for her to take on such a demanding role . I think she embraced it fully. She did a lot of research. Theres a lot of things to read, a great documentary and things availab available. She has kids in her school. Exactly. Kids in her school who fully transitioned. She met with kids that became very, very helpful that we knew we were connected through the producers and as did i with one of the moms whod gone through it. We were going through it in our different ways and it just theres so much humanity and heart and the family is united there are times when i dont struggle. And its very important to talk about the significance of support of the family. That plays a huge part in the survival of a person thats transitioning to have the support of their family. The suicide rate is much, much, much lower so its about the family, not just about but as she said, about everybody thats transitioning with her in a way. And when you work on Something Like this and transition in between different roles you have this movie of the tv series feud youre again working with another strong actress. Its kind of its so great to see. Well, that was like joining a cult in a way because it went on forever and it was ryans world and jess had been in that world and these really huge people to take on so i was terrified. Fear fun ratio. Im happy its over and it was an extraordinary experience. Because everybodys loving it, im going to dine out on that. If i see it ill just think you know i should have done that better and so no im going to go with everybodys positive reaction and just delude myself. Its one of those things with a water cooler situation. Susan sarandon and naomi watts, thank you for coming. It was a treat.

Exactly. Salt and pepper. Lime juice. Parsley, a little bit of cumin. A little bit of beer. Ive never seen that combo before. The nice thing is if theres anything left over, you can drink it. And what happens . We let it sit minimum four hours in the fridge. The longer the better . Exactly. Then we pat it dry, tie it with string so the bird looks nice and tight and cooks more evenly. Roast garlic. My favorite. Use this all the time in the garlic. Just put in the the oven with the olive oil . 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Cut in the half and we keep heads of these in the kitchen and just smear it around, all around, that gives a nice color. A little bit of olive oil helps to make the bird beautiful always get the legs because the legs need help. In the oven any salt and pepper . Yes, thanks for reminding me. It looked a little naked.

Believe it or not, broccoli is a spring and fall crop so buy broccoli. I wish it, put in the a bowl, spin it dry or get most of the water off of it. A little water left over helps y from burning. A lot of people dont think about roasting broccoli. Its the best way to do it. My favorite way to have broccoli. The flavors get concentrated and sweet and tender. Then you put it on a baking sheet with salt and pepper. How long does it go in the oven. Until its done. There you go. About 20 minutes. So youll show us how to cut this up . This is the finished bird. Cut the string off and make nice slices there. Maybe ill use my hands. Thats what scared me about roast ago chicken is being able to cut.
