Welcome to today on a Tuesday Morning. I look at that landing, i guess youd call it. Run it again. Did you know a plane could come with a parachute . If you have the option of getting in a plane with a parachute, you take that option. Absolutely. Well have more on that in a bit. We want to get to the breaking news out of california overnight. A commuter train derailed. The lead car filled with passengers ending up on its side in a creek. Lets go to Steve Patterson with the story. What can you tell us . Good morning. Passengers say the rain was coming down hard right before the trail derailed. 214 people boarded. Thankfully, only nine were injured and just four seriously. Everyone is expected to live, but it was a harrowing ride. Reporter the commuter train sits partially submerged in the muddy waters of a creek. Do you know if this is a passenger train or a freight train. A passenger train. Ace train was traveling from san jose to stockton when the first of five cars hit a tree, plunging it into the water. I was in the first car that went into the river. Reporter passengers describing a harrowing scene. It feels unreal. Shifted the gravity and we were all panicking. Reporter with one woman lying in the mud just under another derailed car hanging off the tracks. It was under the mudslide, so we were trying to dig her out while the train was hanging. Crews had to fight the creeks fastmoving currents and smashindows to pull riders from the partially submerged rail car. This is an area that is difficult to get to, to get across the creeks, to get everybody off and into a safe area. Reporter passengers who werent hurt huddled for hours in the dark, in cold, waiting for busses to get them home. We knew we were in a remote area, so we knew we had some hiking to do. Along the train track. I am grateful it wasnt worse. Is still partially submerged in the water and no service today, as crews work to make sure the track is safe. Matt and savannah . Steve, thanks very much. Now to the president ial race. Four states all up for grabs today, including the battlegrounds of michigan and mississippi, on both the republican and democratic sides. Donald trump finds himself facing yet another controversy. Well talk to him live in a moment. First, nbc National Correspondent ter alexander is in detroit for us. Michigan, mississippi, idaho and hawaii get their turn today. No prize bigger than here in michigan. Its the start of an eightday stretch that could decide the next Republican Party nominee. Reporter marching into mississippi, donald trump again calling on his supporters to pledge their allegiance to trump. Raise your right hand, everybody. Do you swear that youre going to vote for donald trump tomorrow . Reporter a request hes made twice before. Should we do the pledge . Should we do the pledge . Reporter one prominent jewish leader comparing the loyalty gesture from the trump audience to a nazi salute. The a holocaust survivor blasting it as offensive, obnoxious and disgusting. Meanwhile, former new york mayor blook bloomberg is saying no to a 2016 run, saying he couldnt win. I believe i could write a number of diverse states, he writes, but not enough to win the Electoral College votes necessary to win the presidency. Adding, there is a good chance my candidacy could lead to the election of donald trump or ted cruz. That is not a risk i can take in good conscious. Still, his deliberations were so serious, the New York Times reportrt this ad was already in production. Nonidealogical, finally, a new choice. Mike bloomberg, president. Reporter trump and his opponents trying to get the others to clear the field. Marco rubio or john kasich is a vote for donald trump. Vote for kasich or cruz in florida is a vote for donald trump. Im the only one that has any chance of beating trump in florida. Reporter also new, this recorded phone message from mitt romney on behalf of rubio. If we were to choose donald trump as our nominee, i believe the prospects for a safe and prosperous future would be diminished. Reporter rubio is narrowing the gap with trump in his home state of florida according to a poll. Here in michigan, john kasich is gaining ground over the weekend after last thursdays Demolition Derby debate. Im going to be the republican nominee, not donald trump. Be glad to help rubio, cruz or kasich to beat trump. Donald trump is still dominating, up 19 points over ted cruz, 20 over rubio. John kasich in fourth right now. Up from 50 in december, now 75 of republicans and republicanleaning voters, tell us they believe that trump will be the republican nominee. All right. Peter alexander, thank you. Donald trump joins us on the phone right now. Mr. Trump, goodorning to you. Good morning. I love that number. I had a feeling. I will not disappoint them. Lieve me. I had a feeling youd like that introduction. Negativity is something people hate in a political campaign, but it works. When we look at polling in michigan and in florida that does seem to be tightening, do you think its a direct result of that scathing takedown by mitt romney and speeches by Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan from cruz, rubio and superpacs out there . Im the one that can beat Hillary Clinton and ill bring jobs back to the country. Mitt romney is a failed candidate. He ran one of the worst president ial campaigns in the history of our country and now he wants to be relevant again. Its disgraceful. Because of the short time you faced the full wrath of all these entities, do you worry that it will stop your momentum at the most crucial time of this campaign . I dont know, matt. I mean, i saw some polls yesterday in michigan where im 19 and 20 points up. I saw some very, very good polls. Im still leading in florida against a failed senator. You know, rubio is a failed senator. He doesnt vote. Hes got the worst voting record, one of the worst in the history of the United States senate. He does a terrible job and has problems, to put it mildly. And he cant win anywhere. I agree with ted cruz on that. He says this guy just doesnt win anywhere. Somebody else . But hes doing poorly in florida and if he ran for office in florida right now, he couldnt get elected dogcatcher. Hes done such a poor job. Id like to ask you about something youve been doing recently at your rallies, which is having your supporters raise their right hand and say, i pledge to vote for donald trump. As you know, a still image of that at your rallies have gone around the internet and people have been disturbed by the image. In fact, a holocaust survivor says it reminds him of the nazi salute. I wonder how you feel about that comparison and whether it would make you want to perhaps not do it anymore, if people feel that way. I think its ridiculous. Were having such a great time. Yesterday, i had 20,000 people in mississippi. I had tremendous crowds in michigan. Sometimes, well do it f fun. Theyll scream at me, do the swear in. Do the swear in. Theyre having such a great time. Massive crowds. I get by far the biggest crowds and were having a good time. Know it was a problem. We were all you know. In light of that, does it make you almost everybody in the room raises their hand. Were having a good time. I never knew it was a problem. I think its in combination, mr. Trump, with the rhetoric youve used on the campaign trail over the last several months, targeting groups like muslims and mexicans, that that evokes images of nazi germany and the scapegoating of jews there back in the 1930s and 40s. Well, i think thats a big, big stretch. I mean,honestly, matt, weve been having such an amazingng weve been having rallies that are massive. Yesterday in mississippi, two days ago in orlando, we had 25,000 people fill up the stadium. It was incredible. Were having these incredible rallies. Considering the subject matter is not so good, because our country is in trouble, big trouble, we are having a great timeme part of this is that. Up this morning, im surprised to hear it. Does it bother you . If its offensive, i wouldnt do anything wrong with it. But t eyre screaming at me to do it, we want to do it. Wer all having fun. I never thought it was offensive. So because you now know that it is offensive to some people, will you say, okay, lets not do this in the future . Certainly, ill look into it. Id like to find out if thats true. I dont want to offend anybody, but i can tell you that its beenen amazingly received. Well received. I will look into that, matt. I think thats a fair answer. Mr. Trump, thank you for your time t ts morning. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Lets bring in chuck todd, nbcs political director, moderator of meet the press. Tell us what were expecting today. First, lets set the scene with the delegates. Heres the count now, and its gotten naow. The weekend victories by ted cruz, he narrowed the gap. Puerto rico on sunday gave rubio michigan oday and also mississippi. Whats interesting about both of them, donald trump should win both by double digits. Michigan president ial primary in the past, his antitrade message, it should play well there. The reagan democrats working. Mississippi, alabama and tennessee he won, bordering states. If these are single digit contests, cruz up, maybe kasich, maybe its a sign what we saw over the weekend that it wasnt a speed bump and antitrump forces are coalescing. These states set the table for a week from today. They do. This is what happens if trump wins florida and ohio a week from today. He builds a huge delegate lead, 300 delegates, not enough time for cruz to catch him and he can probably get this thing. If, of course, trump doesnt win, onlnl wins florida or, in this case, as you can see, its a 200 delegate gap if he wins florida and loses ohio. But if he loses them both. This talk aboutut rubio dropping out, its insane because of the earl vote. If rubio dropped out today, it hands it to donald trump because theres all this vote thats already taken place thats gone to rubio. No way ted cruz could win it. Bottom line, if trump wants to get the magic 1,237 delegates before the convention, he has to win florida and ohio . Bth. If he wins both, he needs 50 of all remaining delegates. Thats easy because rubio and kasich get out. If he loses, 67 . Not going to happen. Thank you very much. Thank you, chuck. Lets turn to other news. Funeral plans have beenen announced for former first lady nancy reagan. Shell be laid to r rt on friday at her husbands president ial library, where preparations are underway. Natalie is there once again this morning. Good morning. Good morning to you, matt.

Reporter longtte employees and friends say while they mourn mrs. Reaganss passing, theyre comforted by the thought of her being reunited with her ronnie. They had such Great Respect for one another and were fun with each other, laughed and giggled and held hands. They each had a look that they gave one another. Break a leg. No, good luck. Reporter flags at many government bldings around the nation remain at halfstaff this morning. President obama praised Nancy Reagans personal charm and i had the opportunity to meet ms. Reagan once. Obviously, she was already advanced i age, but could not have been more gracious and more charming to myself andnd michelle when we first came into office. The white house has not yet said whether president obama will be here in attendance joining the first lady at fridays funeral. In terms of security, this is a government facility so it is already staffed 24 7 with guards. But the Reagan Library is also working with local law enforcement, along ith, of course, the secret service. Natalie, thank you very much.

Meanwhile,ndrews is thanking her supporters, especially those who she saysre also victims. Reporter erin andrews cried quietly as she listened to thth verdict. 55 million, correct . Yes. Reporter one injury your said off camera she thought the 75 million was too high, but all the jurors thought she deserved something. The defense team said they were surprised and disappointed. In their opinion, andrews didnt meet theheegal requirements for serious mental injury. Her career skyrocketed.

Andrews showed phenomenal courage in standing up to the security and privacy. She is a true american hero, and i think we all know it and love her for it.

In a statement to the national tennesseea the owners of the hotel said, we are committed to providing a safe and hospital environment for all our guests and employees. On the stand, andrews got emotional a number of times as she retold her story. I was justcreaming that i was naked all over the internet reporter a juror said andrews emotional testimony was key in deciding the case. The jury unanimously decided that michael barrett, who took the video and spent 30 months in prison, must pay over 51 and the hotel must pay 49 or 26. 75 million. Andrews cried and appeared to sign an autograph for one juror. Do you think celebrity played a role in this . I hope not. I hope the jury listened to the proof and wouldnt treat a celebrity differently. Its unlikely andrews will see the full amount of money, especially since it was made clear during the trial that barrett doesnt have much to tribute. For the hotel, if they do choose to go forward with the appeals process, andrews wont see any money until the appeals process is over. Matt . Morgan, thank you very much.

Terrified train passengers found themselves in the water after a commuter train derailed at least nine people were hurt, four of them seriously, when a train hit a downed tree 45 miles east ofan francisco. The lead car plunged into a creek, while another car stopped at the waters edge. Officials believe heavy rain caused a landslide, pushing the tree on to the tracks. In the race for the white house, both parties have important primaries today in michigan and mississippi. Republicans a ao have contests in hawaii and idaho. Our new nbc news surveymonkek poll shows donald trump maintaining his lead nationally, with ted cruz moving into second place ahead of marco rubio. Former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg decided not to launch an independent campaign, sasang he couldnt get enough Electoral College votes to win. Donald trump is defending his practice of having supporters at rallies raise their right hand and pledge to vote for him. Of the Antidefamation League say the loyalty gesture resembles a nazi salute. Earlier today, trump said he didnt realize it was offending anyone. Well do it for fun. Theyll scream a me, do the swear in. Do the swear in. I mean, theyre having such a great time. Massive crowds. I get the biggest crowds and were having a good time. Until this phone call, i didnt know it was a problem. Trumpmpold matt hell into possibly ending the practice now that he knows some people are offended. Police in South Carolina are defending their decision to pursue a shoplifting suspect who led them on a wild chase on monday. The hood of the stolen suv was up and blocking his view.

Now to a revolutionary procedure thats offering a lot of hope to thousands of women who cant have children. This morning, were meeting the nations first uterus transplant recipient. Janet sham leeanneeshamlian is at the Cleveland Clinic where the procedure took place. This was performed for the first time in United States. Its an organ transplant of the womb. Getting pregnant because of a uterinerelated issue, doctors say this is a game changer. Reporter the nations first uterus transplant to a 26yearold texas woman who was told shed never bear children. From that moment on, i prayed that god would allow me the opportunity to experience pregnancy. Reporter now, for the women diefd identified only as lindsey, a real chance following groundbreaking surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. A womb of a deceased donor implanted into lindsey, who was born without one. Doctors will implant her embryos into the donor organ. Unlike other organs, the uterine transplant is temporary. The patient can have one to two babies by csection and then e uterus will be removed. As many as 50,000 u. S. Women of childbearing age could benefit from the procedure. The Clinical Trial offering new adoptiti or using a surrogate. What motivates women with uterine infertility to pursue other options is the experience of carrying the pregnancy. Feing the baby grow and develop and of getting to be there for the babys birth. Reporter the procedure was pieoneered insweden. This baby among five born there from uterine transplant. Lindsey is the first of ten in the u. S. Who willet the transplant. Theres a long road ahead. What would make it a picture perfect ending . The baby. Reporter the mother is dreaming of being pregnant, expanding her family. Now, thanks to this procedure, a possibility. It provided me with a gift that i will never be able to repay. Lindsey is part of a Clinical Trial and Cleveland Clinic is looking for more w wen to be part of it. Savannah, whats interesting about this, is unlike most organ transplants, its just temporary. Babies, then the uterus is removed because the womanhas to take very strong drugs while she has it in her body. Back t you. Janet, thank you. This is amazing. For more on what it could mean for women facing infertileity issues, lets bring in dr. Natalie azar. Good morning. Good morning. You have to marvel at the science that allows doctors to do this. But it clearly is not for everybody. This is just for those who i mean, if you had had, for example, a hysysrectomy because of a cancer diagnosis or Something Like that . Right. Potentially for them . Only women who have uterine factor infertility. Theyre either born without a uterus, they have a damaged uterus, secondary to abnormalities from previous infections or add heengshesionadhesions, or theyve had thehe uterus removed. It can affect 3 to 5 of women worldwide. This is a long road. Yes. As w saw in janets piece. Honestly, from start to years. Initial procedure starts with doing ibf. You have to have six toembryos, have a suitable donor, have the trantsplant. It has to heal for one year before the embryos are implanted. Hopefully, the baby nine months later. Its important to point out that the researchers are stopping short of calling this a grand success. They say the success is not measured by necessarily having performed the transplant. It will be a success once the woman goes through the process, healthy without complications and, of course, a healthy baby is born at the end of it all. Then we can say that it was a success. By the way, to janets point, they then remove the trananlanted uterus. Absolutely. For most women, theyll probably have one to two pregnancies and then remove the uterus because of the fact that the woman has to take the antirejection medicines which, of course, long complicated like ininction or ma lig malignanacy.

Carson, thank you very much. Were here with Padma Lakshmi. People know her on bravos top chef, but its only one chapter of her life. She opens up in her memoir called love, loss and what we ate. Good to have you here. Goodd morning. Its revealing, honest i read the whole book romantic, mouth watering all at once. This took a long time. It took over four years to write. I didnt start out writing a memoir memo. It was a book about Healthy Eating, with the idea of being very frank and using the details of my own life to illustrate philosophies i had about food. It turned into this. Lets take the words of the title separately and start with love. You write a lot about Salman Rushdie and your relationship he swept you off your feet with his words and his intellect. The relationship soured pretty quickly. I wouldnt say pretty quickly. I was with salman for eight years. At the time, thats half my adult life, you know. It was a wonderful relationship. Like any marriage, it had its ups and downs. I think also, we were dealing with another issue, which i had no idea about at the time, which was endometriosis. You write, he was everything i wasnt. He was a lot of wt i wanted to be. But you sum it up at the end by saying, iont regret one day i spent with him, nor did i leave a moment too soon. I do say that. I mean, at the time, i really needed to take care of my health. I couldnt take care of my health and get well and also take care of my marriage. I did the best i could. By the way, i think salman did the best he could. There was a lot of love there. You mentioned health problele. For a long period in your life, you knew something was wrong with you, and you finally found out, as y u mention, endometriosis. It impacted your life enormous enormously. From the time i was 13 till the time i was diagnosed, i missed 25 of my life. Ii sitting here, and iveost six years of my life, babacally, to this illness. I think many, many women go through this. Endometriosis is something that all women. A lot of women have it. Lena dunham was just rushed to the hospital with it. In constant pain for a long time. Its very debilitating. It starts in adolescence, which is a tender time, and no one wants to talk about it. You didnt think you could 2009, which was wonderful, but you wrote, the press wouldnt stop harping on the fact i hadnt reveal td the name of the father of the child. You said you didnt know the paternity yourself. You were involved with two men. Yes, i was. Probably wasnt the best choice, but it was the choice i made at the time. I didnt want t tbe in a serious relationship. I was still really hurting from my divorce. I probably spouldnt have been with anybody and taken the time i needed for myself, but i was presented with two very different, very interesting men. You know, men do it all the time. I chose to doit. I was open with the men involved. Im going to own my history. Thats what i did. One of the things i learned, ive known you for a long time from this show, i look at you and think, how could she be anything but incredibly confident . You write a lot in this book about insecurity. Yeah. Not feeling as if you fit in here in the United States, and evenenhen you married Salman Rushdie, you werent really sure you fit in with his intellectual group. Sure. I always was shuttling back and forth between two cultures. I think thats true of many immigrants in this country. The book for me is really about an immigrants story. Its talking about my story in that land. Also, when youre brown in a white culture, that adds a layer to it. Especially when youre in front of a camera, whenoure a woman right. And when youre in the fashion business. You write so descriptively about life where you were growing up. You use words that make you feel the heat, and you can almost smell whats going on around. You also write incredibly descriptively about food. There are sometimes when youre telling a personal story and you switch into aecipe and i think think think, man, that sounds good. Ive done my job. Its also a food memoir. I grew up love ging fischer and other writers l ke that. I wanted to write a book about my life and food is about my life. Its about climbing my mothers kitchen to get the pickle jar. Or trying to steal the candy when i wasnt supposed t t have it. I think we all have these memories. The book, again, i i love, loss and what we ate. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Padma, great to have you here. Im so excited to be he. Its a pleasure. Shell be back in our next hour. Also, catch her thursday night on the twopart Season Finale of top chef on bravo. Up next, the legendary helen mirren lights up studio 1a. First, this is today on nbc. Served with sirloin steak. Saut\ fresh zucchini, squash and tomatoes. 3 its sure to be a family favorite. Today its florida flatbread with fresh tomatoes and bell peppers. Its easy to turn local produceinto a meal time favorite. Look for the fresh from floridalabel when you shop. Remember, delicious is always served fresh from florida. Oscar, emmy and tony winner helen mirren has graced the screen more than five decades. In eye in the sky, she plays a militaryolonel in charge of a drone operation to capture terrorists. With lives at stake, she faces agonizing decisions. Two suicide bombers and three high value individuals in the house. You want them off your list, but the rules youre operating under is to capture, not a killl scenario. Now, i think it would be wise t refer out. Are you telejng me that or just debating with me . To refer up. Mmhmm. I am telling you. Helen mirren, good morning. Good morning. You dont like watching yourself . Oh, no, no, no. Also, camouflage is not the most attractive outfit, but theyre comfortable to wear so thats fan fantastic. I find itnteresting because this is about drone warfare. Absolutely. Its about aritical decision that you have to make as a colonel and whether to order a strike that would have civilian casualties. Theres gray area all over this movie. As there is in war. Ambiguity. There always is in war. No matter what weapons are used, there is always gray areas. Right from when they were charging into villages with sabers and horses. You know, the truth is, war is never the nice, cleancut, clear, these are the good guys, these are the bad guys and,ou know, we just do what the job is, sort of thing. Its always full of moral ambiguity, and thats very much what this film is about. You know, its interesting that suddenly, in the last week even, the whole issue of really what drone warfare is has suddenly the realization. It still brings in all the varying points of view. As i said, you play a colonel. This role was originally written for a ma it was. It was. You know, i have such love and respect for those women who went into the military in the 60s, and their incredible courage. It was difficult in those days. But they did do that, and because of that, i get to play this role now. Did you do anything differently . I mean, did that change the part . The fact that you are a woman. Or did you just say, im going to playy it as written, and the fact im a woman is neither here nor there. Absolutely, i played it as written. But i think the fact that im a woman brings into relief, in a more concentrated way for the audience, this particular kind of moral, you know, decision, which is around a child, basically. I think having woman there and i think it really concentrates the mind in the sense of these decisions he to they have to be made. Maybe were going to be facing a female president in this country who will have to make those simir decisions. Interesting film. You always h he a lot to say. I recently read an article in which you said that talking about style in a perfect world, iould wear an 18th century costume all the time, big skirts and huge wigs and everything. I think its marvelous. But really . What about sweat pants . Well, we have the sweatpants at home, of course. Talking about public, youou know. You talked a lot about the loss of privacy in our modern era, with the internet and all those k kds of issues. Do you ever think, gosh, what would it have been like if social media wasas here when i was coming up . Im relieved there wasnt, really. But maybe thats part of my age. The reality is, the young people that is their world, in the same way it was my world to, you know, switch a light on and the electricity, and the light came on. My grandparents worlrl it was not their world. They didnt have a light switch. So i took that completely for granted. The fact that the Drinking Water would come out of thetap, which it doesnt in flint and thats one of the greatest disgraces of our modern age, but we take thingsor granted in the way that young people do. That is their world. Theyll swim in it like fish and find their way of translating it into the world around them. Always interesting questions ponder. This movie pondering deep questions, as well. Dame helen mirren, thank you for being here. Eye in the sky yts opens on iday. Will arnett is here, with a first, this is today on nbc. Were back at 8 48 with will arnett. Hes k kwn for great roles in some of televisions most popular comedies including 30 rock and arrested development. He takes a dramatic turn in his new netflix series, flaked. Take a look. What can i do for h lp . Shes looking for places in mar vista. Du, thats no good. Other side of lincoln. Youll never see her. I already feel like im losing her. Plenty of time to lose her. First, you have to get her. Will, good to see you. Nice to see you. Its tempting to try to put a show into a genre. Is it a comedy, is it a dark comedy, a dramedy, which i know you dont like. I dont like the term. How do you describe the show . A 30minute netflix show. Thats it . Thats it. You know, we dont make a decision in life, or were not given the choice, to like today is going to be a drama. Every day is everything at once. I like how you described it. You and your writing partner almost view this as an independent film played out over eight episodes. Thats right. Mark chappell and iapproached it from moment one. We knew how people would consume it, on netflix, potentially watching more than one episode at a time and wouldnt wait seven days with cliff hangars. You do basically everything on the show. Is that liberating or can it also be a little frightening, that its all on you . Its both. It starts out as liberating, and then it ends up being very frightening. So you kind of it runs the gamut. It feels great to be able to take control and see out a vision, but then, of course, if it doesnt work, you know, if it fails, the its marks fault, my partner. You can always blame somebody sure. Chip is kind of a selfhelp guru, the whole venice, california thing. What else do we need to know about him . Hes a big fish in small pond. He created this persona of himself. The show is about creating yourauthenticity whats the face we put out to the world, and whats the face we look at in themirror, and how great is the divide between those two . We also learn something abo him in the first episode. He has a drinking issue. Yeah. As a matter of fact, more dramatically than that, hes actually killed someone in an accident. Mmhmm. That gets me back to, are we pure drama here, or can therere be some way to mind lapsese in the story line . I think we wanted to the show to move and have a comedic element, in that the characters interact with each other in a comedic way, but there is a real story there. Do in ourpreal lives, we try to use the comedy to obscure the ama. Thats how we approach it. You seem to be having a lot of fun these days. Yeah. Youre getting to do an awful lot of different things. My kids, they better be at school but if they were home watching now, one would probably be going, that voice sounds very miliar. Yeah. Hes a lego fan. Yeah. You played batman. Batman the lego. Were making the legoo batman movie, which is coming out next year which is really fun. Then the sequel, as well, to the lego movie. People say you strike while the iron i hot. Anything youre not getting a chance to do . Is there a bucket list item . Im considering a late run for the white house. Really . Yeah. You might want to hurry. Like ted crcr, i was born in canada.

The jury found a nude video filmed of andrews in 2008 at the National Marriott at vanderbilt did cause her emotional distss, as she claimed, and both the stalker who took it and the hot are to blame. The man who filmed the video is responsible for 51 of the money, or over 28 llion. Franchise must pay for the rest, about 27 million. Erin releasing a statement saying she was honored by the support from victims around the world. Their outreach helped he stand up and hold accountable those whose job it is to protect everyones privacy and security. Owners of the hotel sd they were committed to providing a safe and house pillspitable environment for guests and employees. I guess the number, 55 million, is what jumps out. His guy, he doesnt have any money. In fact, hes reportedly said it was part of the reason he did it, to try to sell. Savannah is a lawyer and talked about how it works through the legall system. Its a voice for anyone who felt victimized and known. My heart was broken when erin College Girls saying, i want to be like erin andrews except for that onn her part. Its devastating. To have your parents there, youre cryiyi, and everyone has seen it and people have gone back, over and over. Whether she gets money or not, shes got the victory of saying, i will not allow someone to make me a victim. Yup. So powerful there. You know, none of us can understand or appreciate what it would be like to have been exposed publicly that way. So sad. Hope she can move forward. Another story were talking about, and whether or not Maria Sharapova can move forward. This bomb shell yesterday. She openly admitted that she failed a drug test before the Australian Open back in january. Now, she says that she tested positive for meldonium. Meldoniu its a drug apparently used to treat heart trouble. Its not approved by the fda, a it hasnt always been banned, but just this past january was placed on the list. Heres what she had to say. I made a huge mistake. I did fail the test, and i take full responsibility for it. I cant blame anyone for it but myself. No matter who im working with. I dont want to end my career this way, and i reall hope that i will be given another chance to play this game. Sharapova said shed been taking it for ten years and she was getting sick a lot, getting the flu every couple months. She said she didnt look at the updated banned substances list, taking the blame for not viewing an email link that g gs out to all the players. Shes been the higigst paid female tennis athlete for more than a decade, eararng around 23 million. Im curious about thehe reaction from some of her endorsers. Like nike. People have been praising her, saying an athlete who steppepe a staff thats supposed to Pay Attention to this. I tend to believe what she says. Nike suspended its relationship with her. And others. I think the suspension is the key term here. They havent ended the relationship. I think theyll let her get through this. If all goes the way they believe it will, i think theyll come back to her. Couldnt they say, like al said, its our belief that ss telling the truth, and we stand with her on this, unless evidence presents otherwise . Good question, if other people have done that when some of the men with the steroids have their endorsement deals been suspended . They lost them but steroids was illegal. This substance was until four months ago. Not like she just started taking it. Shes been taking it. I dont understand. I think the way she handled insteadf through a spokesperson. Hay hey, heres the deal, boom. Shes also supposed to represent russia for the summer olympics. This says my name, but i thought of you yesterday when i saw this Peyton Manning story. Okay. I dont know why. Good looking guy. Okay. Peyton manning officially announced his retirement yesterday. Had been reported by espn the day before.

We saw that scene. Tina, youre basically playing kim, a tv reporter. What was this like when you read this book . Yeah. It was described as kind of a tina fey character. The New York Times review of the book described it as a ti fey book. I said, ill read the book, or im an idiot. Kim was a print journalist and you were working in e studio and they came into the office and said, who doesnt have kids . No, no, basically, i was ying to differentiate myself from the other reporters, who could i heard they wanted to send more women overseas. I figured the fact i didnt have kids and i wasnt married meant i was expendable, and therefore, good feeling. I was joking around. A bit of a sense of humor. The lesson to me for authors, if you want your book made into a movie, drop tinas name in the review and shell buy it and be in it. Its obviously a fictionalized account but does it give you a greater appreciation of what journalists go through . Yeah. When theyre in harms way . I didnt believe the stuff that you guys do. To go with the marines, follow them around and try to get the story, but also not be in their way. Right. Not put them in danger. Yeah, people say to me, could you do that in real life . I said, no, im cowardly. Shooting it in a desert with cameras, youre fine. You get a break, nice dinner. As long as there are nice services, youll report on the its a war movie but there is a lot of huhor. Was it that way for you w wn you were there . Its a dark, comic way and i tend to see the world inn that lens. I read Kurt Vonnegut when i was younger and wanted people to actually want to read about the war. A lot of things you saw over there was absurd and the only way to capture it was dark humor. Tina, youre portraying a real person in the movie. You know kim. Was that weird for you . I knew it wasnt a biopick, so i didnt have to Daniel Day Lewis it. She was shadowing me for months. I slept in kims bed with her for a year. She didnt know.

Model, tv host, author and mom, Padma Lakshmi lived aife in the spotlight. Full of fashion, family and delicious food. Now, shess written all about it in a revealing new memoir called love, loss and what we ate. Padma is with us this morning. Good to see you. Nice to sese you, too. We were talking, your daughter i a little under the weather. Shes better now, but she spent all last weekaving a fever. Youre juggling the book tour and juggling mom which, of course, is relatable to so many working moms. Youre doing your thing and caring for your daughter. I think we all try to balance everything, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. Different than what mostt mothers who work are going through now. Thats a lot of youou book i know people focused in on romance and the other things but in reality, this memoir is relatable in so many ways. From talking about insecurity to talkingbout the struggle to become a mom. How difficult was it for you to open up in this way . It was really difficult. Other than having my daughter, it was probably the hardest thing i ever had to do. It was like having a baby, except she took less time to come out. Took me over four years to write this book. I cant believe youre holding it in your hands. It was hard, but i wante to do it. Even when it was going to be a Healthy Eating book, i wanted to use the details of my life and illustrate philosophies i have about food and motherhood. I think we all need to have an open discussion as women, as immigrants, as women of color, as mothers, about our bodies, you know, sometimes it takes longer to become who youre going to be. Its true. You mentioned your daughter. In the book, you talk about, at one point, wanting to change your name to something that sounds more american. Here, you have chrishna. I cringe now. Part of the pact i made with myself in writing the book is i wanted to be truthful and really tell my story in a nonfiltered form. Yes, i did do that. Changing your name is as old as immigrants from ellis island. A lot of people dont. I think i just wanted too fit in, like most teenage girls. Speing of teenage girls, one day, your daughter will a teenager and may see a copy of the book. Shes seen tm around the house. Shell be able to read it and understand it. Yes. And hear about your struggle questions surrounding who her father was. Did you think about that when you were writing it . Did you visualize her reading it one day . You know, im sure she will read it a lot sooner than i want her to read it, but notor those issues. Theres been so much written about all the issues you mentioned already, that as soon as shes old enough to google herself, she will find those things. Its my job as her mother to tell her where she came from and who she is, regardless of a book or articles in the newspaper. She knows who her father is. Her father is very present in her life. You know, i dont i think every child at some point realizes that their parents are human and, you know, i hope that i can use my life to help guide my daughter to make strong decisions from a place of power and owning her body or owning her decisions. Thats the message beyond her, who is the most important rson in your life, to fans and the insecurities thate all have, but think when youre on television, theres no way you could have theheshe ishsues. Youre exposing that. You know we have hair, makeup, pretty clothes. People help us with that. I dont look like this when i take her to school in the morning. Its all smoke and mirrors. Im really a black boy when i wake up in the morning and im transformed into this girl, somewhat. Exactly. You know, for me, i reaeay wanted to have an open conversation.

Paul zerdin is bringing his skills to ohe orange room. It was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited informion on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your ctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell yououdoctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restctions. Treatment with xarelto. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto. Introducing the fusion of Exceptional Taste with the benefits of our probiotic yogurt.
