The decision to retire the Cleveland Indians controversial logo drawing mixed reaction from fans today, tuesday, january 30, 2018. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with Savannah Guthrie and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today. Thanks for joinings us on a tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us. Its the start of a big and busy day in washington. Leading up to tonights state of the Union Address. And while the president is putting the finishing touches on that highstakes speech, hes facing some major developments in the russia investigation. Well talk about that with the president s press secretary in a moment. But lets begin with kristen welker. Hey, good morning. Reporter good morning, hoda and savannah. Officials here at the white house are trying to keep the focus on the first state of the Union Address. Mr. Trump will aim to strike a note of unify even as the russia probe is sparking allout partisan warfare. This morning, the president plans to address a union sharply divided as republicans escalate a multipronged attack against the department of justice and fbi. Overnight, the House Intelligence Committee voting along party lines to release a controversial and classified memo which purportedly accuses senior fbi officials of misconduct. Republicans say it shows the russia probe was tainted from the start. Now its up to the president to decide whether to release the memo to the public. A Senior Administration official says the memo will be reviewed first. Well, they want the see whats in it and there are National Security concerns, its a classified document and the president will make that call. Reporter democrats blasted the memo saying it cherry picks facts in an attempt to discredit the investigation and they slammed republicans for voting against the release of an opposing memo written by democrats. This committee voted to put the president s personal interests perhaps their own political interests above the national interests. Reporter it capped a day of drama after Andrew Mccabe announced he is stepping down. Friends and coworkers tell nbc news mccabe left on his own. But they say two big factors played a role in his decision to live. The Justice Department will issue a report expected to strongly criticize how the fbi handled the clinton email investigation including mccabes role and the sustained criticism of mccabe by President Trump on twitter and in person. Including the night the president fired james comey. Nbc news has learned the president fumed when he watched comey who is in l. A. Board a government plane back to washington. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the president called mccabe to complain. And then suggested to mccabe that he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser. Mccabes ran for state senate in virginia and lost. And james comey said in part, special agent Andrew Mccabe stood tall when small people were trying to tear down an institution we all depend on. The white house insisted the president had nothing to do with mccabes departure. As for the state of the i dont know on state of the Union Address, he will touch on the jobs and economy, infrastructure reform, Immigration Reform and National Security. The first lady will be in attendance with 15 guests as is tradition. All of the president s children will be there with the exception of his youngest son barron. Savannah . Thank you. We are now joined by Sarah Huckabee sanders. Good to see you. Good morning, great to be here. Thanks for having me on. Lets talk about the state of the Union Address. The president is coming into his first state of the union with a rip roaring economy, low unemployment. The wind at his back in terms of the economy. And yet, his own personal Approval Ratings are at record lows. Does he look at this as an opportunity to kind of build that back up, to try to unite the country. What will he say . Absolutely. Look, the president will talk about a number of things tonight. Certainly the economy will be front and center. We have had a historic year. Record breaking moments throughout the year. In large part due to the president s leadership on deregulation. And a huge capstone at the end of the year with the tax cuts and the jobs act which we have seen have Immediate Impact with several hundred companies stepping forward and giving pay raises, bonuses because of that tax cut and that tax reform package. Youre going to see a big focus on National Security. This has been something that the president has talked about for a long time. For the first time in years, we are seeing massive impacts on isis and theyre on the run and major progress has been made on that front. The president made that a big part of his administration. You will see a focus on that. Immigration, the president laid out the framework that is a bipartisan deal that brings both republicans and democrats to the table and gives everybody something of what they wanted most. So sarah the first attempt we have to seen to deliver on this topic and on this issue in a real chance to make some big reform and were excited to see that take place. So lots to talk about at the state of the union and behind the scenes as well. Andrew mccabe abruptly resigned yesterday earlier than expected. The president has made no secret of the fact that he does not care for Andrew Mccabe. You said that he wasnt part of the decision process. Was he happy to see Andrew Mccabe go . Look, i havent asked him specifically about that, but he certainly has voiced some frustrations with some of the actions by the Deputy Director, but the bigger issue is the president has full and complete confidence in fbi director wray and he has left these decisions to him and i would refer you to them for specifics. Right now, and certainly top of mind for this president isnt about Deputy Director mccabe but about the state of the union, its about bringing the country together, setting an optimistic vision tonight and you will see the president s heart in this speech. I think you will see the patriotsism of this country. And i think it will be an incredible and powerful night. Back to the russia investigation for a moment because lets go big picture. Heres what i dont quite understand. The president has said theres no collusion, theres nothing wrong there, nothing to see here. Yet one by one, hes gone after every single one of the Justice Department officials connected to this, whether its his own attorney general or james comey or Andrew Mccabe even saying he would fire director mueller. If theres nothing to see here, why does he go after all of the Justice Department officials connected to the russia investigation . Doesnt it at a minimum look bad . Look, he hasnt gone after the special counsel, we have volunteered thousands upon thousands of documents. Over 20 different individuals have done interviews. We have been transparent as possible but hes gone after every Single Person at the top of this investigation including the attorney general he appointed so i guess the question is, if theres nothing to see here and he wants to cooperate, why does he continually go after people who are connected to the investigation and just trying to do the investigation . Doesnt that make it look like he has something to hide . Frankly, if some of these individuals were just trying to do the investigation, what they would have done it and it would have been wrapped up. Time and time again, the only thing that has come out of these and every single time after interviews, after reviewing records, the on thing they that come back to is no, we havent found anything yet. Frankly, i think the people that are frustrated most isnt the president , its the american people. Theyre sick and tired of being inundated with russian fever. Theyre focused on us moving forward and thats what the president is trying to do. But on that issue what well see him do tonight. Had the president hot fired director comey there wouldnt be a special counsel and an obstruction of justice investigation that centers around him . Didnt his own actions bring this upon himself . Look, i think the actions of director comey and certainly every day since his firing we have seen more and more reason he shouldnt have been the head of the fbi. Its turned out that he was leaking information. I think the president made the right decision. And for us to go back and try to recreate history is just simply not possible. Again, i think that it has been very clear time and time again theres absolutely no collusion whatsoever with the president or this administration. Were ready to move on. I know the country is ready to move on and we look forward to the special counsel wrapping this up. So we can continue to focus on all of the great things we were doing. Imagine how many more good things for the country we would have been able to do this past year if everybody hadnt been so focused on this russia threes true. But i have to go. But you have to say that the press focuses on it, but thats because the president is focused on it and tweeting about it. See you tonight for the state of the union. Sarah huckabee sanders, thank you for your time. And nbc news will have live coverage at 9 00 6 00 pacific. The nations worsening flu endickic, hospitals are fighting the outbreak. Some facilities are now reporting a vaccine shortage. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is in atlanta with the very latest on all that. Good morning. Reporter hoda, good morning. Gradys, atlantas biggest hospital, this mobile emergency room is opening for the first time in part to deal with the flood of flu patients. Gradys regular er usually saw more than 300 patients. Well, one day last week it say more than 5 it saw more than 500. This morning across the country the outbreak is not loosening its grip and the race is on to get the flu shot. I thought now is a time to be a little bit more proactive. As mom i needed to get it done. Reporter the cdc said theres overall enough supply, but the skyrocketing need has prompted Health Care Facilities to scramble. For us to be on our third order, just speaks to the demand that we have had. Reporter hospitals are taking drastic measures. This one in atlanta opening an er on wheels. 14 extra beds to help deal with the onslaught of sick patients. In new york the governor has declared a flu disaster allowing pharmacies to give the flu vaccine to children and teenagers. Even though were four months into the flu season, people have a lot of questions. So heres what you need to know. What should you do within the first 24 hours of getting sick . First, stay home. And if youre a highrisk group such as the elderly take antiviral medication as soon as possible. So tamiflu is a very good antiviral medication. Taken within the first 24 to 48 hours, tamiflu can reduce your symptoms by about one to two days. Reporter what should you do if someone in your household is diagnosed . Sleep in separate beds, avoid touching your face and keep disinfecting household surfaces. Should pregnant women get the flu shot . If youre pregnant and you have not gotten the flu shot yet, we recommend you still get it. Even throughout this flu season. Reporter if you have symptoms should you still get a flu shot . If you have acute illness with a fever you should not get a flu shot. How different is this from what you have seen in previous seasons . This is much different, much higher than it has been. Reporter so far this flu season there have been at least 37 pediatric deaths. Now, too early to tell how many of the children who died did not get the flu vaccine but the cdc says in previous years about 80 of children who passed away did not get the flu shot. Grady expects to have this mobile hospital for a month and possibly through the end of the flu season. Gabe, thank you. Also, the hype for super bowl 5 lii is speaking out. Tom brady spoke out not only as a football star but a as a father. Hi, there, good morning. This started last week when a boston radio host lobbed a crude insult at bradys 5yearold daughter and he was quick to come to his daughters defense. Just days before the super bowl, patriots superstar tom brady is stepping into a fight off the field and defending his daughter. My daughter or any child they dont deserve that. Reporter the reigning super bowl mvp lashing out at a boston Radio Station after one of the hosting lobbed an insult at his 5yearold vivian who is included in the new documentary series tom vs. Time. I thought the first scene was so staged where brady is like in the kitchen. His kids being an annoying little pissant. It was made by weeis alex reimer. And brady fired back. I have tried to show you a lot of respect and do a good job for you guys so its very disappointing when you hear that. Reporter brady has regularly called into the show over the years. And just last week, weei and the patriots announced a multiyear extension of their partnership. Highlighting weekly features headlined by brady and coach bill belichick. But following the comments about his daughter, bradys future participation could be in doubt. Obviously ill evaluate whether i want to come on this show again. So i really dont have much to say this morning. Reporter according to the station, alex reimer has been indefinitely suspended say theyre embarrassed by the comments. We deeply regret what happened and we offer sincerest apologies to tom brady and his family as well as the new England Patriots organization. Neither party is commenting but at a press conference monday, brady told reporters he tolds that reimer wouldnt lose his job. I hope hes not fired. I would hate for that to happen. Reporter the controversy comes as patriots prepare to face off against the eagles this sunday. Patriots nation yeah reporter with the fivetime super bowl quarterback rallying the fans. We have one more to go. We love you, patriots out reporter also at that news conference, brady said all parents would probably react the same way. I think everyone is protective of their children.

A disease that robs people of their memories and their identities. Now bill gates one of the worlds smartest and richest people is using his brain power and his money to conquer alzheimers and finally find a cure. More and more people are getting alzheimers and its a tragic disease. Reporter bill gates is on a mission. The microsoft cofounder and billionaire philanthropist is hoping to solve one of the biggest mysteries alzheimers disease. Hes donating 100 million of his own money to find a cure. I really believe that if we orchestrate the right resources its solvable. Reporter for both of us, this crusade is personal. My father passed away from alzheimers. Now for the first time, gates reveals that his father 2yearold bill gates sr. , also suffers from the disease. You had a father, i have a father whos affected deeply by it. Only by solving problems like this can we take these medical costs and the human tragedy and really get those under control. Reporter in 2017 alone, americans spent 259 billion caring for loved ones with alzheimers and other dementias. Despite billions more spent on research we dont know what causes alzheimers or have any effective treatments. You said you spent really a year trying to understand how complex this disease is. How it has alluded everybody and yet youre still optimistic and feel that you can find a solution. Yes, while im optimistic bringing in new ideas. Thats what were going to have to do to have great drugs for this in the next 10 to 15 year. Reporter as cochair of the largest private foundation, gates is already fighting hiv, polio and malaria around the world, but this battle is different. He said too many alzheimers dollars are going to mainstream treatments that wont work. Thats why 50 of the 100 Million Foundation will go to the Dementia Fund that sponsors new unconventional research into the alzheimers cure. So you think by widening the net, by looking in places that we havent conventionally been looking therein lies the answer . Absolutely. Reporter to help fast track new treatments his other 50 million will fund a National Patient registry to speed up recruitment for Clinical Trials and a global database for alzheimers research, so scientists can easily share data with each other, something not done today. Do you think you can get people to collaborate, to share, and therein might lead us to an answer thats maybe out there, but just because we havent shared or collaborated we dont know it . Yes, its very complex. By look agent the data we start to understand are there multiple syndromes here than slightly different. And, you know, is it different in different races, is it different from men than women . One of the things were trying to figure out is when does the alzheimers really get started . Right. When would you need to treat somebody to completely avoid them getting alzheimers. You and i are about the same age and i worry about getting alzheimers. Do you . Sure. I want my brain to stay intact as long as possible. And my job in terms of intellectual stimulation, learning new areas, meeting super smart people. So its almost ideal from a from an exercising the brain muscle point of view. Gates says his 100 Million Investment is just the beginning. He wants people old and young to become more engaged in this fight and volunteer also for Clinical Trials that he thinks will help find a cure. And to find out how you can do that, you can head over to the website, today. Com to get more information about all this. 100 million can make a difference. It will make a difference.

Hes fascinated with this. And he thinks he can be a game changer. I think so does everybody else in the field which is exciting. Maria. Thank you. Youre here for trending later . Yes. Good.

Who happens to be performing live for us today. Right in our studio. Right over there. Jason aldean, cannot wait to catch up with him. Cant wait to see him perform. It will be awesome. A lot going on in the news. The president will have the nations attention tonight when he delivers his very first state of the Union Address, but an escalating fight over the russia probe and the fbi shakeup is cop pete competing for his own attentions. Here is kristin welker. Reporter President Trump is putting the finishing touches on the state of the Union Address. He will aim to strike a note of unity even as Tensions Mount over the russia probe. Overnight, republicans on the House Intelligence Committee voted along party lines to release a controversial and classified memo which purportedly accuses senior fbi officials of misconduct. Democrats say that memo draws from cherry picked facts and is aimed at delegitimizing the russia probe. The president has five days to decide whether to release that memo. That dispute comes as deputy fbi director Andrew Mccabe announced he was stepping down earlier than expected. The reason an upcoming Inspector General report is expected to sharply criticize the handling of the clinton email probe and the other factor, fatigue, after the president has publicly and privately criticized him. This morning on today, savannah asked press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders about the president s apparent penchant for attacking Law Enforcement officials. If theres nothing to see here and he wants to cooperate why does he continually go after people who are connected to the investigation and just trying to do the investigation . I mean, doesnt it look like he has something to hide . Frankly in the individuals were trying to do the investigation they would have done it and it would have been wrapped up. Time and time again, the only thing thats coming out of these in every single time after interviews and after reviewing records the only thing they come back to is that, no, we havent found anything. Reporter as for the state of the Union Address, the first lady will be in attendance tonight along with 15 guests. All of the president s children will be there with the exception of the youngest son barron. Thank you. We should mention our live Network Coverage of the president s state of the union begins tonight 9 00 eastern, 6 00 pacific. The pentagon is accelerating a clamp down on Public Information about the war in afghanistan. The federal agency that provides that data has been placed under a gag order.

This comes months after President Trump announced a new strategy to break the deadlock in the war. An outrageous crime caught on camera has police in los angeles looking for a a flash mob on wheels.

We all know Richard Engel as a fearless nbc correspondent. And a really good friend. But today he is here with his wife mary and little boy henry and theyll tell us about the courage it takes to face a different kind of challenge. Well talk to the whole family in a moment. But first, their story in their own words. Wow, look at that. When henry was born, just over two years ago, he made our life complete. The sweetest, happiest boy. But almost right away, something didnt the problem was henry wasnt really progressing. He wasnt sitting up when he should. He wasnt clapping his hands when he should. We went to every doctor we could find. Cardiologists. Sight, blood tests. Gastroenterologist. Everybody. It was a mystery. And we thought, well, there are late bloomers. We decided to do a full genetic scan. The results came in last september while i was was troops in south korea when the convoy pulled over. So i called the doctor and he said, we found something and its very, very severe. Its life long, not treatable. I was in the state of shock. I got back in the convoy, like shaking. It was the worst day of my life. Henry, with a serious genetic disorders. For boys, its very rare and for now, untreatable. I called you and i said we have the result, and i said, its not good. Its not just delay, it means life long, permanent, untreatable physical and intellectual impairment. And you yeah, i just said no, no, no, no, no. Unfortunately, the more we learned about it, the worse the news got. Doctors have told us henry will likely never walk, talk, dress himself or have the mental capacity beyond a toddler. And that Health Problems are likely coming as well. Kids with this mutation tend to have epilepsy or seizures of some kind. But hes generally quite happy. But it could be a darker road ahead. The docs have said that he could get rigid. Its a door i corridor i dont want to go down. No matter what happens, we want henry to know hes loved. He gets back what we put in and more. Play has a purpose. We try to keep him moving, hoping every tiny crawl makes his muscles stronger. Good job, good job. Every moment can help develop a skill. Even lunch. To get him a little bit of that dexterity. He has physiotherapy daily, and hospital visits twice a week to stimulate his senses. Basically, im his manager for that. And cheerleader. It gives me purpose. Its important. And i see it helping him. But this story may have a happy ending. For henry and many other children. Because there is hope that henry holds the key to a treatment. A lot depends on the work being done by dr. Zogby at the Duncan Institute at the texas Childrens Hospital. Henrys mutation is unique in the world, but because its unique is what makes it so valuable. Sometimes when the rarest thing you can learn the most. Doctor zogbys lab has collected henrys cells and the goal is to find a way to boost the protein that is essential for brain function. So were using henrys cells to monitor the level of the protein. Reporter dr. Zogby said if she can boost the protein safety it would be a breakthrough for henry and for many children. We know today there are hundreds of genes that can cause autism or intellectual disability or complex psychiatric disorders. Using henrys cells to study rhetts syndrome, once successful it can be applied to the diseases. While we wait for scientific progress, we try to make henrys life as normal as possible. Its hard. Sometimes i really have to get myself up. I dont want to see a 9monthold its easy to get lost in it. But there are also moments of joy and togetherness. Its made our relationship stronger, actually. And were all weve got. Were all hes got right now. So we need to be a team. And richard, mary, henry, welcome. First, we love you. Thank you. We love you so much. And we know youre a courageous guy, richard, we have seen you out in the fields. But this is a different kind of courage. Well, its not a story that anybody wants to tell and it was very difficult for us. But we wanted to raise awaren s awareness, to pecial needs children, children who are challenging know that theyre alone. It can feel very lonely when you go down the street and you see other children behaving quote unquote normally and knowing that his life and our life is never going to be like and we wanted to point out the research. And that there is hope. And maybe he can contribute to that progress. Well, henry, hes so special. We love up on henry a little bit before we came on here and mary, youre doing both of you are just pouring your whole hearts and everything into this boy. But it must have been hard to think about like coming out publicly and talking about it because its so raw. Its painful and very personal. But we appreciate being able to do it. And hopefully like you said its lonely. Other people maybe will see this and feel less alone and we will too. You know, and what theyre doing at the texas Childrens Hospital is really amazing and it gives us hope. It gets us through every day. Can we talk about that for a minute because i love in the piece you said, wait a minute, this story may have a happy ending. So what are you looking for, what are you hoping for . So his mutation is potentially one of a kind. The doctors said its first one in existence. And while thats obviously very challenging and difficult for us and certainly for him, in that rarity there may be the key to his own treatment and a treatment to many others. So what dr. Zogby is trying to do is figure out a way to boost this protein that he doesnt have enough of. If she can figure out how to do that safely, it could be applied to a whole host of other genetic disorders so it could be at the end of the day he has a key to helping himself and potentially many others. But look, we have to get there first. Theyre working on the research. Theyre hard at work right now. Thats what were driving for. When you talk about henry, he is happy. A little smile. Such a good boy. What you guys have been doing and the therapy, its helping. It is helping. Our milestones are not necessarily milestones. We call them inch stones. So he doesnt you know, its slow, but there is progress. And he works really hard and we have fun. We make it fun. Where do you guys lastly, where do you find your strength . Im looking at two people and i know i can see how strong you are. Where does it come from . From henry. Yeah. I mean, you cant not get up in the morning. You just have to get up and go and do it and take care of him. Hes raring to go. You know . So we get back what we put in. You know, were holding him and cuddling him and he smiles back, what are you going to do . You have to try harder and give it everything you can. I know other families have been through this kind of thing before. We can learn from them and take something from their experience and their strength as well. If people want to help, guys, what should they do . We love you, richard. They know you and it feels like its in the family. I appreciate that. We say this at the network a lot, family, and thank you to you both. It does feel like a family. Were putting theres a website at the research institute, that they have put together. It talks about the work thats being done. We have a link to that. I have been tweeting it out this morning. It should be on today. Com now or very soon. We love you, guys. Thank you so much. We love you, henry a good boy. Thank you. Well go over to al. God bless you all. Thank you for sharing that.
