Daughter by a tsa agenting . Did it go on too long . Did it get too personal . What the tsa has to say about it this morning. And gigantic jackpot. Tonights powerball now up to 450 million. One of the ever and the frenzy to buy more tickets could make it even bigger when those six numbers are drawn today, wednesday, january 6th, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. If al roker were sitting here he would say 450 million. I know, and it could get higher, could be half a billion dollars. I got powerball fever. Thats a big jackpot. Were going to talk more about that. By the way, speaking of things that are exciting. As you know, were going to head to the Golden Globes come up this weekend. After that were not coming back its a morning show first, and well tell you about it coming up. Yeah, the whole show is head somewhere. More on that in a minute. First lets get right to our breaking news. North korea claiming it has detonated its first ever Hydrogen Bomb. If true, it would mark a significant and dangerous advance for north koreas military and a disturbing threat to the region. Lets get right to nbcs chief global correspondent bill neely. Bill, good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. No question this was a surprise and an unpleasant one, especially for north koreas neighbors. The worlds most closed country announcing what would be a dramatic escalation in its Nuclear Capability if that is is to be believed there was a test but was it really a Hydrogen Bomb . A north korean tv announcer claims the countrys first Hydrogen Bomb test and calls it a success. We wont stop our nuclear program, she says, because of they cheered in north koreas capital. They have seen three previous tests announced but never of an hbomb, a far more powerful weapon. The u. S. Is waiting to invade our country, this man says, so its the right thing to do. The Hydrogen Bomb, he says, is a reliable way of defending ourselves. The tremors from the underground explosions were felt in china pand in south korea where Officials Say its a provocation. North koreas leader kim jongun knows that and signed the test order anyway. Japan, too, is alarmed. Military planes taking off to test air samples. The u. S. Ambassador meeting to reassure a government that says the test is a serious threat. We stand with japan and our partners and allies in solidarity with this north korea provocation. Reporter north korea has an aggressive Nuclear Weapons program showing off hardware three months ago. Latest test is that a Hydrogen Bomb can be smaller, lighter and easier to deliver on a missile warhead. North koreas leader kim jongun is still consolidating his power and now flexing his muscles at a world thats looking at north korea are real anxiety. And it may take weeks to work out if this was a Hydrogen Bomb, and if it was successful and a viable device, but anything that can produce a seismic shock of 5. 1 is dangerous, and there will be consequences for north korea. The u. N. Will meet later and may move towards tighter sanctions, but kim jongun is unlikely to be deterred by that. Matt, savannah. Bill neely in london, thank you. Let us quickly bring in nbc chief Foreign Affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell. Andrea, if the North Koreans have now successfully tested their first Hydrogen Bomb, thats a very dangerous first step forward, but if u. S. Intelligence was caught off guard, thats also dangerous, isnt it . This was, as bill was just saying, a complete surprise. They knew that something was up. They had seen some tunnels but no idea if this is, and this is a big if, we havent confirmed it. It will be days if not weeks before they can absolutely confirm it, but it is this is true, a major escalation, a much more powerful weapon. They had done three previous tests, but they were lower yield plutonium devices. They also have a Uranium Program but no idea that they were this advanced if this is indeed a hydrogen blast. All right. Andrea mitchell, andrea, stick around. Well talk about poll nicks just a moment. Yeah. Lets turn to the president ial race now. New attacks from republican frontrunner donald trump against both his republican and democratic rivals. In a moment, how Hillary Clinton is responding to trump, but, first, lets go to nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander in washington for the late on the republican side. Peter, hi, good morning. Reporter hi, savannah. Good morning. Those republicans once just curious about trump arereow increasingly committed. Here you go. A new reuters online poll today 42 nationally, t teeimes ted cruzs support. Still, cruz polled best in iowa. The first caucus state and in a clearer sign yet that trump sees him as a real theat hes talking up questions about cruzs eligibility to be president. The nations best known Birther Donald trump famously demanded to see president Barack Obamas birth certificate and now taking issue with texas senator ted cruzs birthplace, canada. Raising the topic on msnbcs morning joe. Its a problem for him. Lets assume he got the nomination, and the democrats bring suit. The suit takes two to three years to solve so how do you run . Reporter trump later pinktating his point to the washington post. A lot of people are talking about it, and i know that even some states are looking tat very strongly, he said. The fact that he was born in canada and hes had a double passport. Cruz tweeting his response, this unforgettable seen from happy days with the fonz literally jumping the shark, suggesting most legal experts agree hes the son of an American Mother citizen. Nbcs casey hunt asked jeb bush about it tuesday night. Do you think that ted cruz is a natural born citizen and is eligible for the presidency . Yeah, i do. Reporter trump isnt backing down from his confrontation with the clintons either. Its fair game when they attack me. Im going to attack them reporter billionaire insisting he only brought up bill clintons extra Marital Affairs after Hillary Clinton accused him of sexism first. When she said that, well, your husband is now campaigning, its open season. Now if he wasnt campaigning, maybe it would be different, and if he werent a past president it would be totally different. Reporter and hours after president obamas emotional appeal for an end to gun violence, the republicans remained unimpressed. Trump teeing off from New Hampshire. They are not going to take your guns away, folks. Reporter ted cruz mocking the president as a tyrant tweeting gun control is government control. Wife milania is speaking out candidly, the supermodel telling herebys bazaar magazine that shes chosen to stay quiet but is, quote, very political in private life. Sheization she hasnt thought much about life in the white house but has been working with the couples 9yearold son baron to keep his life in her words as normal as possible. Matt and savannah. All right, peter, thank you. On the democratic side, frontrunner Hillary Clinton is responding to some of trumps rhetoric as she tak her campaign west today. Nbcs Kristen Welker has more on that. Hi, kristen, good morning. Reporter hey, matt, good morning to you. Thats right. Secretary clinton will be campaigning in las vegas later today. Of course, nevada is a key western state, and it comes as the verbal attacks between clinton and trump are escalating. Facing an increasingly competitive race in mustwin iowa Hillary Clinton ignored Donald Trumps attacks late tuesday focusing instead on rallying her supporters here. The organization weve been building here in the state. Reporter but earlier in the day, fireworks for trump. Clinton saying his heated rhetoric makes him unfit to lead. We should not reward people who use inflammatory rhetoric, who use the kind of derogatory comments whether its about muslims or mexicans or women or people with disabilities, whoever it might be. Reporter in an exclusive interview with Msnbcs Chris Matthews clinton warned thats a sign of, you know, showmanship, of desperation that should be rejected roundly by the american people. Reporter strong words, but clinton stopped there, refusing to engage trump on his personal attacks of her and her husband week. For days trump has excoriated president bill clinton for the transgressions that nearly brought down his presidency. Is this sexism, i i this what sns. I will not respond to his how can i rephrase i sound like a lawyer. He can say whatever he wants to say. Ill talk about what i wanted to talk about and thousands of miles away at the white house president obama announced new actions on gun laws. Every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. Clinton making no m mtion of the president getting emotional, praised obama while also taking a little credit. I was very proud that he made these recommendations, some of which i have been advocating in this campaign for. Reporter now, clinton has made gun control a key pillar of her campaign t. Resonates with democratic primary voters and also one of the rare issues that shes seen as being to the left of vermont senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders also praised president obamas actions on guns yesterday. The two Democratic Candidates will face off at a party dinner in las vegas tonight. Matt, savannah, back now. All right. Kristen welker, thanks very much. Lets focus in on the state of weeks to go from the iowa calkouses with chuck todd and amitchell and here in the studio Nicolle Wallace and Mark Halperin and managing editor of Bloomberg Politics and msnbc commentator Steve Kornacki. Segment is over with all of yours resumes. Ted cruz has launched a missive excuse me, trump has launched a missive on ted cruzs eligibility to run for president. Do you think this is s sething that will have appeal with conservative voters, or does this have the feel of kind of throwing everything at the wall . I think its a distraction. I think, you know, watch today when when thehealk radio circuit who has been very supportive of ted cruz, and any time theres been a split between cruz and trump they have sided with krumptz i suspect unless they somehow turn on cruz on this issue, i dont think this is going to be an issue at all with conservative voters. Nicole, let me turn to you. Wheres myth romney. When is he going to endorse a candidate in this ration, and i think hes wise to stay quiet because the age. Arbiter or the referee in republican politics is long gone. John mccains another figure in the republican party. He used to be able to throw a flag and call this or that in bounds or out of bounds. The reason i think people like that have stayed kwai set that the Republican Base is so disdainful of the whole notion of any sort of establishment figure coming in and giving them any sort of guidance. If he were to jump behind Chris Christie or marco rubio you dont thihi it would make any difference . Not only do i think it would not only help them, i think theres possibility it could hurt them. That leads me to the question with Steve Kornacki which is where is this vaunted republican establishment that used to be the heavyweights and could call balls and strikesing . Where are they . Is this Campaign Going tonight end what have we call if it rears its head it will be in New Hampshire. It wont in iowa, and the biggest problem the establishment has in New Hampshire slight now is youve rubio, kasich and bush, running 10 , 12 and all eating up the socalled establishment vote and letting people run away so if one can consolidate they can give trump a run for the unon rare occasions when the discussion includes anyone other than donald trump and Hillary Clinton you hear more and more people saying Chris Christie is heating up. Hes on the move. He may be peaking at the right time and yet if you look at his National Polling numbers you dont really see that. Why are people suddenly going behind Chris Christie . Because to win youve got to win a state or do really well in a state and Chris Christie in New Hampshire, to take the old line, perfect together. Its a good state for him. Donald trump, based on his resources and his message and poll stand, hell be a finalist. Ted cruz, resources, poll standing, finalist. Mitt romney, paul ryan wont create another finalist. Youve got to create it if youre jeb bush or Chris Christie or marco rubio. Christie looks like a guy who can create this for himself message and hes swaggering. You agree . In New Hampshire, can i see him emerge there. I think hes making more moves outside of New Hampshire thats been detected on a wide scale. Made some good moves in iowa. Drove over the holidays from ohea to iowa. National security voters in iowa who care a lot about fighting terrorism. The world is on fire. He could finish third in iowa and then mitt romney and others will say this is our one guy from our establishment lane, were going to get behind him but i agree with nicole, may not help him. I want to get andrea into this conversation. Lets talk about the bill clinton factor, andrea. Obviously incredibly popular with democratic voters and yet weve seen this w wnd open up that donald trump has driven right through in terms of the negatives of bill clinton. Is he a net positive or net negative when you factor all that in . Ilthink given his overwhelming popularity in every poll, especially with the general electorate, i think its a net positive. Hes obviously a lightning rod thats why youre hearing donald trump and all the others going after him. So its a great issue in the republican primaries, but in the general election i think hes a net positive as long as he goes along with the guide action. You can see when we were with him the other day in nashua, in New Hampshire, he really wanted to respond to trump and bit his tongue and pulled back but there will be a moment when he might go off the program. Mark, that was one of your questions. Will he take the bait at some point . The clintons have a big choice to make, do they want to spend january fighting with trump . They say if he goes after other americans that they will engage him, that they will hold him accountable. They dont want to engage on the personal stuff. Lets see if they can be disciplined. Fighting with trump, everyone we learned this year and last year is hard. Thank you all so much. Thank you. New developments this morning in another story. The investigation into last months terror attack in san bernardino, california. Federal authorities are looking for the publics help in the killers whereabouts on that day.

Rock slides and flooding. This storm is real, and its coming. Quick look at head links, and heres another big headline of the morning. Powerball fever sweeping the nation with tonights jackpot now at a staring 450 million. That makes it one. Largest ever. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is in miami where people are business buying tickets. Kerry, good morning to you. Reporter well, good morning, savannah. Im at the caribe cafe and theres a little bit of a lull. A line on and off this morning as people are lining up in 44 states, in puerto rico and in the Virgin Islands all hoping to get what will be the fourth largest jackpot in u. S. History. Are 1 in 292 2292,201,338. Youre more likely to get struck by lightning, become president of the united states, get bitten by a shark or die from an asteroid hitting you in the head. Now, if you are going to play this game just remember its a 2 bet. Its not likeou increase your odds by buying more tickets, so dont go play the whole paycheck here while youre trying to win. If you buy a 2 ticket or buy five tickets your odds are about the same. Thats the way statistics work according to the statisticians. Now, if you are lucky enough to walk away with this jackpot alone, youll still have to pay some taxes, so your winning will be 275. 4 million that you can take as a lump sum, or can you take it out over 30 years, and those federal taxes, they will take about 25 and then, of course, you have state taxes unless you happen to be in one of those states like florida where you dont have to pay arent any. We found this lucky dollar on the sidewalk today, so were going to take these two and were going to play those and were going to do a quick pick here and hopefully among the many people playing there will be a winner, because if there is not a winner, this will roll over, and havent quite calculated how big it will be, but it will be likely the largest jackpot ever. So, guys, theres my numbers, what do you think . Kerry, if it rolls over, theres a 100 chance youll be doing that live shot again next week. Kerry, powerball fever. Reporter and if you dont see me here tomorrow youll know why. Powerball fever at that store is 98. 6. Not exactly burning up there, guys. By the way, guys. Oh, come on. Really. What if i win, then what happens . I get 75 of it. Make that deal. One ticket or bought 500 tickets. According to kerry. That doesnt make anyny sense to me. Remember who bought you those tickets. When a guy. Okay. Were going to change gears and talk about one fathers outrage over what he seess as an overaggressive tsa patdown of his 10yearold daughter. It dragged on for nearly two minutes and you have more on in. Kevin pace is normally an advocate of security, but he says that the patdown at airport in raleigh, North Carolina, made his 10yearold daughter feel very uncomfortable, and he says it crossed the line. Using his cell phone camera a shockeke and upset father record his daughter receiving what he believed to be an unnecessary and invasive tsa patdown. She just had a completely blank stare on her face. I could tell it was very uncomfortable for her. The video shows the agent slowly and meticulously frisking the 10yearold for nearly two full minutes. What was going through my mind is this is annoying. I want to run out the door. The girl was screenedfter a juice pack was found in her carryon, according to her father. A swab from her bag came back with a false positive reading. Its not broken. Its not clearing. It seemed to be the goto option for them and they could have done a better scrutiny of what they were looking for prior to putting their hands all over my 10yearold daughter. The issue over whether children should receive patdowns is controversial. According to tsa protocols, officers will work with parents to resolve any alarms at the checkpoint and has modified screening procedures for children 12 and under that reduce the likelihood of patdown screening. In a statement to nbc news, the tsa says tsa screening procedures allow for the patdown of a child under certain circumstances. The process by wit child was patted down followed approved procedures. The tsa also points out that the process was observed by the cell phone with an alarm going off in the childs bag requiring additional resolution procedures. As for the paces, they understand the importance of airline security, but when it comes to kids, there has to be a better way. Maybe they need retraining. Maybe they did everything by the book. I dont really know, but it was, you know, an uncomfortable situation. And pace says he has contacted his u. S. Congressman about the incident, and they will be filing a formal complaint. Obviously tsa doing their jobs, but i think we all have to question on a 10yearold, is it excessive . With children its always a difficult baroroter. Ou can understand how a father would feel. Absolutely. Mr. Roker. All right. Lets show you what weve got going on right now. Another area of moisture affecting the folks who got flooded out last weekend. Here we go. Weve got gulf moisture coming up out of south, and it will be combining with that storm system that brought all the heavy rain to california, so rain will be rivers are still rising from earlier rain. To the north weve got a wintry mix. Going to make trouble for travel with ice and low visibility, so right now as far as flooding is concerned, 181 river gauges nationwide above flood stage. 21 locations at major flood stage. The good news is the lighter rain will fall right over the mississippi, so thats good news. Were looking snowfallwise out of this between today and tomorrow 2 to 4 inches as you get get get get get get getanderson will be sunny and col today, high of 45. Eastnortheast winds of 510. The mountains will be sunny and cold, a high of 42. East southeast winds at 6. Cold and that is your latest weather. Savannah . All right, al, thank you.

Curse you, brookside your nefarious plans have succeeded. Nefarious . Are we still talking about chocolate . Brookside. Were back now. 7 43. A lot of people watching this live. A lot of people talking about it today, the rare display of emotion from president obama. He wiped back tears, if you saw it during the speech on gun violence and what happens when politicians wear emotions on their sleeves and nbcs Andrea Mitchell has been looking into that part of the story. Andrea, good morning again. Reporter good morning again, savannah. Well, he is famously known to his staffs no drama obama. Even criticized as a political mr. Spock, but president obama was unapologetically angry and emotional when talking about the victims of gun violence, especially the children of new perhaps it was the weight of so many tragedies, charleston, gabby giffords, concernedio, sandy hook elementary, the thought of those children reducing the most powerful man in the world to tears. First graders. And from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun ever time i think about those kids it gets me mad. Reporter it isnt the first time this president has cried in public. Sometimes its personal, when the grandmother who raised him died. Theres great joy as well as tears. Reporter or after winning reelection thanking his campaign team. Im really proud of all of you. Reporter but barack obama is hardly alone among politicians showing their emotions. It can cut both ways. Former senator ed misks president ial hopes were washed away on a teary day in 1972. In 2008, Hillary Clinton won New Hampshire by showing her human side. Just dont want to see us full backwards, you know. I dont. Reporter even dwight d. Eisenhower, the celebrated commander of allied forces in world war ii, wasnt afraid to cry while saluting veterans of the 82nd airborne during the 1952 campaign. Ronald reagan didnt cry, but his emotions were raw after the challenger exploded in 1986. As they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of god. Reporter first president bush out of office struggled to express his feelings about son a true measure of a man is how you handle victory and also defeat. After 9 11, the second president bush. Our unity is a kinship of grief. The son feeling the comforting hand of his father, but no president has been a match for the former speaker of the house. Our hearts are broken but our spirit is not. Reporter never afraid to show his emotions. President s and other politicians turning the old adage on its head. Big men and women do cry. Back to you guys. All right, andrea. That brought us to tears, and i yeah, watching it back. Yeah, thank you. Look back at those stories as we remember them, i thought Ronald Reagans words after that shuttle disaster was every time i hear them i get choked up. Pierces your soul. Carson over in the original room and a lot of people talking about this online. What are they saying . Response on social media was support from the president like the New York Times columnist enkristoff tweeting some think that obamas tears about gun violence show weakness. Know. We should all berying about 320,000 deaths per year. Seeing president obama cry makes me proudo have a leader so moved by the stories and lives of americans and there were others not show moved.

Cold temperatures will be felt again tonight. Asheville, hendersonville will drop to 27 overnight, weather. Savannah . Already feeling tired this morning. According to a new study sleep problems are more common in women than men, but, of course, we could all use help getting a better nights rest and the dr. Oz will be tackling that on his show later today. Dr. Oz, good morning. Good morning. An interesting study, women tend to report more sleep problems than men. Why is that . Is there a gender difference . Weve known this for a long time. Were hard wired to worry more. And women have menstruation and menopause, pregnancy, someone else actually keeps you up. Not surprising at all and reinforced for single women its a big problem trying to rear kids and get sgleep another piece of the study said that men reported more often getting less than the recommended seven hours so they may not be complaining about sleep problems but not getting the sleep that they have. They dont even know its a problem. Really important for us to get this right because it causes a range of floobs are not necessarily related. High blood pressure, how is that actually link to not getting enough sleep and putting weight on, is linked to sleep. If you dont sleep enough you wont be table lose weight. On the other hand, all of us who are run down, ill just eat whatever, you dont have the willpower to resist. Theres emotional issues and what im focusing on this afternoon and today well focus on physical problems that keep you up. Okay. The first one has to do with the temperature. Be clear on this. You really want to sleep in a cave. How cold . Lets get this straight. If youre fighting with your spouse about the appropriate temperature, whoever wants it colder, they win. No magic number but never want to be warmer than 68 degrees. Really . And its okay to go down below 65, even to 62 degrees. You might be seeing your breath when you sleep and had a little tip from you from the doc, if you dont mind. From my friends in the sleep business. If you cant get cold enough for the temperature put socks on. Keeping your feet warm allows your core body temperature to go if it were 68 i would pile on will clothes. Under the covers its okay. You want your extremities to feel chill, especially your facee and hands. You want that. Youre uncomfortable youll sleep much better. Our blowing my mind. After you keep things chilled, deal with the light issues. A very toxic problem we have had our sleep. When you have bright light it turns off the brains ability to make melatonin. For half han hour before you go to bed dim down the lights or be smart and buy some of the l. E. D. Lights that dont release the ultraviolet ray that turns off the melatonin. That way your body will naturally fall asleep. Ever go camping . I did, as a kid a lot, yeah. When the sun goes down, the bright original rays make you feel a little tired so you sleep really well. Create a similar environment. What do you do if you like to read a book and they help you fall asleep . Bright lights but dont turn your brain on. Food . You cant lose weight if youre not sleeping hand eating late in the day will mess up sleep. A big problem for folks. They dont understand the bile jiff blubber and the day off dirkts all this information is on the today show website. The one day off website, take one day off and it makes you eat early in the day because if you eat early youll sleep bert and if you sleep better your brain which is hard wired to desire sleep and when it doesnt get it it will want food. It will turn both off together. Should you exercise early in the day. Dont do anything that heats you up late in the evening. Exercise, warm baths will do that, get that all out of your system and get nice and cool and chill and turn the lights out and get back in the save and enjoy sleep. A lot more advice on the show later day. Check your local listings for that. Matt, over to you. Thanks very much. Jill martin is here.

Matt damon and ridley scott, guys, good morning. Good to see you. Good to see you. Congratulations on the nomination, best director, best actor in a musical comedy. Yeah. I watched it this weekend with my 14yearold son, and right about the point youre taking the antenna out of your gurkts im thinking this isnt a comedy. How did that happen. Thats right when he cut out the musical number that was right there. We had a big dance. We had yeah. But do you like it in that categoryry do you think that that gives it a good shot, or would you rather see it elsewhere or does it snaert. It doesnt matter. I mean, it is its certainly not up to us, so, you know, theres not anything really we can do about it. Tonight we get to go and put on table together. Get all dolled up. A lot of times actors or directors come here, ridly, and the awards season is about to begin and they count so much on the awards because they want people to get to the Movie Theater to see their project. This thing opened in october. Its already made 3. 5 trillion or something, is that close . But we need more people to see it. Wait a second, matt. Dont talk people out of going to see it. Does it take some pressure off though . For me, yeah. I mean, yeah. Its been look, we you know, weve made a lot of movies, and we both are kind of worker bees. We love to work. We love what we do, and you love all of the movies that you make equally. I remember Clint Eastwood said that to me years ago. Some people think this is just this one is a masterpiece or that one is terrible and inlove them all. I know why i did them all. You feel the same way about that . Yeah, yeah. People say whats your Favorite Movie . I havent got one. They are all my favorite children. This happens, its really its really fun and you just kind of lean into it because you know it doesnt happen a lot and well been around the block enough to know when no smell t t roses. Because i have a Room Temperature or iq like the Room Temperature and as i watched the move youre alone a lot on screen and ill ask you both this, what was it like when youre making a movie where theres nobody to play off of it . One. Things exciting about taking the job, but also one of the reasons i i only wouldld have done it with a handful of directors. You know, when youre working with a master director, you know, that risk is really mitigated, you know, by knowing that youre not really alone. Im ten feet away from ridley scott. Basically delivering the lines to him. Yeah, yeah. So he was my scene buildy. And hes been here over 100 times over the years and gotten to know him pretty well. With him on a soundstage hour after hour after hour . Well, its its a very beautifully putdown play h. The words are lovely and humorous and you have to be able to reflect as to what hes going to do next and there lies the humor. We came up with a solution so you can have apt character with him, something with him. It was a gopro, 24 little cameras in the habitat and thinking and pondering what hes doing and suddenly hes talking to the gopro so suddenly theres a changed international because suddenly he has someone to talk to.
