Weve seen titans line up on different times. Sides. Our top story is politics. Todays nevada gop caucus and, of course, next weeks super tuesday contest are looming large for both parties. Lets start with nbc National Correspondent peter alexander. Good morning. Good morning to you from here on the vegas strip. Donald trump is in the drivers seat in the race and, yet, his rivals have barely touched him. Today will pit trump against the son of the city, marco rubio, who spent his childhood here and has more family here than in miami. Cruz is looking to sneak in second. Reporter its starting to sound like its vegas act. Trump, the inevitable. Want to blow it. We have to go all the way. Reporter venting his anger against a protester. Were not allowed to punch back anymore. I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this . Theyd be carried out on a stretcher, folks. Id like to punch him in the face. Reporter trump is polling ahead of his rivals in 10 of the next 14 states. If we nominate someone that half the Republican Party hates, were going to be fighting against each other all the way to november. Well never win that way. Reporter with jeb bush out, marco rubio is trying to lead the establishments large,. Ted cruz is cleaning up the mess within his campaign, with his top aide showing cruz blow off the bible. We will conduct the campaign with the highest standards. For them to take a video and transcribe words on it thats not what i said, its disturbing. Every day, something comes out of the Cruz Campaign thats not true. Reporter later, trump teed off on cruz. This guy is sick. Reporter despite speculation that a rubiokasich ticket could prove formidable, kayaides say, no way. Kasich described how he first won Public Office 40 years ago. We got an army of people who and many women who left their kitchens to go out and go door to door, and to put yard signs up for me, all the way back when, you know, things were different. Reporter the Clinton Campaign pouncing. Its 2016. A womans place is wherever she wants it to be. Kasich later apologized for what this morning, were getting a snapshot at where things stand. A roll shows Trump Holding on to the lead nationally, 36 . Ted cruz in second. Marco rubio creeping up in the last week. Whats noticeable in the numbers, rubio gained this last week with two key republican groups heavily represented in nevada. White evangelicals and voters who identify as conservative. Savannah and willie . On the democratic side, Bernie Sanders says he has no plans to leave the race, even with Hillary Clinton taking the lead in democratic delegates. Clinton52 to sanders 51. A survey of super delegates finds 449 backs clinton and only 19 supports sanders. Sanders told supporters monday he sees a path to victory. We are in the campaign till the end. We have gone much faster, much further than any or many people would have believed possible. Theyve got the resources to stay in. Next up for democrats, the South Carolina primary on saturday, where clinton holds a big lead in the polls. Lets bring in chuck todd, moderate moderator of meet the press. We want to run through the scenarios that Establishment Republicans are running through right now. How you would stop trump, who is in a commanding position. There are a couple scenarios people talk about. The first one, you mentioned, has cruz losing to trump in texas. Explain. Well, savannah, the cleanest way to stop trump is to hurry up and get this to a one on one between marco rubio and trump. Whats the fastest way for that to happen . On super tuesday, for ted cruz its a neck and neck race. This gives donald trump potential advantage because he can beat his rivals in their home states. If youre marco rubio, the fastest way to get to a one on one, cruz loses texas and, suddenly, everybody coalesces and a possibility of a one on one is there. We hear it almost every four years. Brokered convention. This is going to the convention and hadnt happened for more than 60 years. Could this be the year, and what does that look like . Its possible. On super tuesday, of the 12 don contests, essentially, Everybody Wins a few contests. Rubio wins tennessee and florida. Cruz wins texas. Donald trump wins his fair share. Its three or four didnt candidates who win regional states or their home states and nobody has a delegate lead. By the way, we will know this on march 16th. Well know the day after the second super tuesday in march if lead for trump, were going to a brokered convention. Theres one other scenario, and thats a late entrant to the race. This would be if trump is blowing through march and then the panic really sets in, and then its all about simply denying him a majority of delegates, doing whatever it takes. There is still a filing deadline to make in the california primary. Maybe a mitt romney. This is a scenario someone outlined to me a couple days ago. Mitt romney would file late, you may get favorite sons and daughters to file late, simply to try to beat trump, deny him delegates and create another way for a brokered convention. I have to tell you, its the most farfetched. Romney said he wont get in but maybe itll change. Before we let you know, lets look at the democrats and do math. We laid out the challenges Bernie Sanders has. 20 of the delegates up for grabs on super tuesday. Hilarylary clinton has a good sized lead in a lot of the states. She does. Be to get tough for her again is if, number one, Bernie Sanders comes within Single Digits on saturday in South Carolina. And then from there, hes got to beat her in a big state. Texas, tennessee, virginia, georgia. Those are four of the biggest states on super tuesday. Four . If he does, i think maybe he has a chance to sort of reset this race. Right now, it doesnt look possible. Chuck todd, thank you so much. Chuck, thanks a lot. There is a new wrinkle in the fight between apple and the fbi over a cell phone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters. Bill gates is weighing in and you might be surprised by what hes saying. Pete williams has more on that. Good morning. Good morning, willie. Surprising because up until now, the other tech giants, includeing facebooks mark zuckerberg, the founder of twitter and founder of google supporters apple. Bill gates says apple should do i think the people want the government to act on their behalf if the safeguards are there. Reporter bill gates, the founder of microsoft, says Technology Companies should be forced to cooperate with Law Enforcement in terror investigations. He disagrees with apples ceo tim cook, that forcing apple to help open the iphone will set a dangerous precedent. Historically, the government has gone to phone companies and banks and lots of companies to gather information. Reporter washington lawyer ted olson, representing apple, says the government never demanded this much. Privacy and liberty is important to the citizens of this country and to the people that buy apple products. Are we going to allow terrorists to take that right away from us . Without fighting back and asking the court to look into these issues . Reporter writing in the new york times, new yorks Police Commissioner also goes after apple. He asks, how is not solving a message that might stop the next terrorist attack protecting anyone . A new poll shows 51 say apple should help the fbi unlock the phone. 38 side with apple. For gates, he says he welcomes the controversy. People feel like the government not being blind and being able to try and stop bad things before they happen, its a good debate to be having. Apple customers who support the company stand against the fbi plan demonstrations today in more than 30 cities. Theyll carry banners that say, dont break our iphones. Fascinating debate. The other side, you have a former nsa and cia chief taking up for apple. Pete, thanks so much. Complicated questions. We turn to the tragic shooting spree . Kalamazoo, michigan. A vigil was held for the victims last night. Were hearing from the family of a teenager clinging to life this hour, as police try to figure out a motive in the attacks that ron mott has the latest on this. Good morning to you.

Reporter no answer to the questions why. I prefer to remain silent. Reporter authorities allege dalton was picking up uber passengers between shootings. No red flags. Prior to that day, his record looked good. Reporter dalton had been on the job one month, undergone a background check by the company and had a high rating before his arrest.

It was a public personalitys most private moments. This morning, Sports Reporter erin andrews is going after not only her stalker but the hotel that put him in the room right next to her. Reporter sports caster erin andrews walks into a National Courtroom this morning, eight years after a man secretly recorded her naked in her hotel room, then posted it online.

The jury of seven women and five men will hear Opening Statements this morning in a trial expected to last about two weeks. Andrews stalker will testify, but not in person. He will be on video. Back to you. Thank you. Now to more on the deadly shootings in michigan that killed six people and wounded two more. The uber driver now charged in the case picked up passengers during his killing spree. There were no apparent red flags and uber did run a background check on him. But some are wondering if more could have been gone to prevent the tragedy, and how Companies Like uber veterinary employee their employees. Tom costello has been looking into it. Uber doesnt plan to change any policies following the tragedy in michigan. In large part, because the suspect had no criminal background. In this digital age of apps and how do you know if youre totally safe . Reporter it takes just a click and these days, you can borrow a total strangers bedroom for a weekend get away, or summon a stranger to take you, even your kids, home. All you have to go on is the other persons customer rating. Every uber driver is rated. You can rate them on your app. They can rate you. Its like, its reliable. I trust them. Reporter uber says driver jason dalton had a close to perfect rating. 4. 73 stars and he passed the uber background check. No criminal record. In a situation like this where a background check comes back completely clean and the Motor Vehicle checks are completely clean, we cant always prescreen and predict all behavior. Reporter to become an uber driver, an applicants must provide name, address, Social Security number and insurance company. Uber vets them through local and uber has been accused of not doing enough elsewhere. Prosecutors in l. A. And San Francisco last year said the background checks missed criminal records of 25 drivers. Including one who spent 26 years in prison for Second Degree murder. And uber doesnt run fingerprint checks of potential drivers like Taxi Companies do. Because uber does not use fingerprints, it cant be sure the information on the background check belongs to the applicant. Reporter one challenge, Services Like uber are growing too fast to thoroughly check everyone. Youre not sitting next to the person who is going to hire you and looking them in the eye and convincing them to hire you. Reporter uber drivers themselves have been targeted. Beaten by enraged or drunk passengers. Some violence caught on camera. From ride sharing to home sharing, its a brave new world. For millions of americans, there so in this new economy of sharing, the question is whether simple arithmetic would suggest bad actors will get through, as they do in every business. In education, schools, in industry. As one uber rider said to me, i believe in what Ronald Reagan used to preach. Trust but verify. Back to you. Tom costello, thanks so much. Uber saying this guy had no criminal record. We couldnt have caught him in the first place. 4. 75 rating, so he was good to that point. Tragic situation. Lets talk about the weather. Were talking about the winter side of the storm. Now, we have Winter Weather watches in effect from champagne, illinois, up to michigan. 11 Million People under these watches. Were watching this storm system push up through the ohio valley. Rain will change to wet snow in ohio and indiana. We expect it to continue east into the appalachians tomorrow.

Willie, you could pull that off. You think so . Absolutely. First, lets head inside with natalie for a check of the top stories. Donald trump boasting a big lead but playing rough heading into nevadas kaucaucuses. Trump said hed like to punch a protester in the face. Cruz fired a top aide on monday for tweeted an inaccurate video that falsely accused rubio of brushing off the brieblible. With jeb bush out of the race, rubio is hoping to get Establishment Republicans, backed by a new endorsement by bob dole. Iphone of one of the San Bernardino terrorist attack shooters. There were protests organized by tech freedom groups. Over half of americans back the fbis effort to force apple to help investigateorsinvestigators. Microsoft founder bill gates has come out in support of the fbi, saying this is a specific case and not a general rekwex byquest by the agency. A new report finds more women are opting for preventive mastectomies than ever before. Dr. Natalie azar, nbc medical contributor, is here to help us make sense of the study. Good morning. Women between the years 2005 to 2013 are getting, by more than 1 3, more mastectomies than ever before. At the same time, the rate of cancer remained unchanged. Yeah. What does this tell you . I mean, i definitely think the immediate interpretation is women are being more aggressive being more proactive. But according to experts, the biggest risk for a woman in terms of recurring cancer or cancer in general Breast Cancer has to do with their genetic predisposition, as well as family history. According to studies that have been done, what seems to be driving this more aggressive approach is more fear and anxiety. Maybe some misperceptions about what their actual risk is. Because the studies would suggest for many early stage cancers, a more conservative approach has the same outcome asthmaas as mastectomy. Whatever alarming is according to the same period, mastectomies tripled. Are they taking off more than they need to . If youre in thefamily history isnt strong, you outcome would more conservative approach. Researchers are slightly alarmed at the trend. This study isnt taking into account the angelina effect because these were the years 2005 to 2013. Right. She had her procedure in 2013. Which is a perceptive point. I think if this trend continues, we might see a higher number in the next five to ten years, if the effect actually comes into play. Dr. Azar, thanks so much.

Now to a heated case pitting kesha against a producer. Shes fighting to get out of our recording contrast. This morning the man at the center of the dispute is speaking out for the first time. Heres joe fryer. My speakers up tonight reporter the high profile between a pop star and hit producer is turning into a trial by twitter. Kesha getting a flurry of support from fellow singers and celebrities after her defeat on friday. A judge denied the singers bid to be released from a recording contract with dr. Luke, the producer shes currently suing, alleging Sexual Assault. Her allies used the hashtag, free kesha. Ariana grande, my heart is with kesha rose. Taylor swift is donating 250,000 to help with legal bills. Kesha is going to have a difficult road ahead of her to win in the court of law. However, she seems to be winning, big time, in the court of Public Opinion. Reporter in 2014, kesha sued dr. Luke, the man who discovered her, claiming he sexually, physically, verbally and she alleges dr. Luke continuous continuously forced himself on her while she was intoxicated and drugged. Monday, dr. Luke also took to twitter, echoing denials hes filed in court. Saying i never raped kesha and never had sex with her. Weve been friends and shes like my little sister. Kesha and her council are accused of ruining his career for financial gain. Dr. Luke is suing kesha, claiming she made up the allegation so she could get out of her recording contract with him ask sonyew and sony music. Keshas attorneys argue her career is at a stand still because she wont work with dr. Luke as the contract requires. His attorneys say kesha is free to record and release music without working with dr. Luke as a producer if she doesnt want to. He claim myth. Both sides are digging in, fighting in and out of the courtroom. For today, joe fryer, nbc news, los angeles. Lets bring in our legal analyst, lisa. We havent gone through trial. This is the beginning of the case. Shes saying he abused me, i dont want to work with him. Therefore, i want out of the recording contract. Sony is saying, you dont have to work with him, but you do have to be bound by the contract. Importantly, this is a preliminary injunction hearing, which is an early hearing in the case. Its not trial yet. Her lawyer had to meet a high legal bar. The judge said he didnt meet it. The claims werent specific enough and he didnt bring forth evidence in support of her allegations. This is just the first step and she lost the first legal battle. It doesnt prevent her from Going Forward with the case. Right. What happens to the claims that she makes of all kinds of abuse by dr. Luke . What happens in the Court Process with those . Does she have to prove them . Trial and her attorney can bring worth witnesses and evidence, and any corroboration that they have. At this point, the judge said, look, there is no irreparable injury pausebecause you dont have to work with dr. Luke anymore. Shes claiming maybe sony future. The judge said thats not enough at these stages. Dr. Luke, the producer, says she gave a statement, kesha, under oath at a previous happen. Is that a problem . She was an adult when we made the statement. The Sexual Assault survivors tend to say it didnt happen before they come forward with claims. Its tough for her to overcome. Is it a problem for her that she apparently never went to Law Enforcement and reported it . Thats less of a problem. Most repe erksrape victims dont go to Law Enforcement. You see the celebrities and theyre saying, free kesha and sympathetic to her and her claims, but she is free to record as long as she stays with if these allegations were proven, if she ultimately prevailed at trial, would that be enough to get her out of the contract with sony . I think its a winning point for sony, that she does not have to work with dr. Luke anymore. They point out that pursuant to the contract, theyve lived up to their end. They spent millions of promoting her music. They want to promote her music. Sony and kesha want to make music. The court of Public Opinion is in full swing. Girl power supporting her. Thank you so much. Coming up next, how do you handle it when youre at a restaurant and your order is messed up . The sneaky way one ceo puts job candidates to the test. Interesting one.

Especially people who are petite, they often think, i thats the question. Even Nicole Richie pulls it off. The vertical lines make it look long and lean. This is our model corrin. Shes rocking the look. Its about the fit. High wasted pant, hug the smallest part of the body and skim all the way to the floor. Heels are a must. They are. Maybe after the boot. Exactly.

Its about keeping the shape, hugging the waist, long mini skirt and heels. Keeping the hair down so it doesnt feel too pilgrim and covered up. No age limit on wearing bows. You can even do a bow in your hair. Its a trend, wearing a little ribbon, maybe a loose, low ponytail. Not a grease ponytail. Thank you so much, aerial. Riel. You have to get this one right. Here, we see, is that kate hudson . Gwen stefani. Its a great airport look. We have janelle modeling it. Its about two different washes. Dont watch the two of them. Also, treat denim as a neutral.

Fantastic. I remember that. Great bass line. Terrific. Lets talk about this apple story. It keeps getting more interesting. A new twist, the fight between the fbi and apple over unlocking an iphone used by one of the attackers in the San Bernardino mass shooting. Microsoft founder bill gates weighed in, siding with, surprisingly some people, the fbi fbi. Saying Tech Companies should be forced to cooperate with Law Enforcement in terror investigations. I do think people want the government to act on their behalf if they feel like the safeguards are there. Historically, the government has gone to phone companies and banks and lots of companies to gather information. People feel like the government not being blind and being able to try and stop bad things before they happen, its a good debate to be having. Interesting because so many of the other Silicon Valley executives immediately side with including facebook and twitter and google, as well, actually came in on the side of apple. Hes an outlier and one of the founding the fathers of Silicon Valley taking this position. He says there is a risk even among Silicon Valley, as theyre having the debate we are having. Slightly more than half side with the fbi as opposed to apple. On the flip side of it, general michael haden, the head of the nsa and cia says apple has the right idea. You cant predict where people are going to come down on this. Its fascinating. I think bill gates said, it is a good conversation to be having. Absolutely. We have the freedom, and its protected by our constitution. Like the freedom to look like an idiot when youre texting and walking.
