September 19th, 2013. 3 f2 del jueves soy savannah guthrie. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today. Good morning, South Carolina. Youre 400 million richer. Should we make friends now . Exactly. That is where the one ticket was sold. It could be 20 people who chipped in for one ticket. But, again, its just one ticket, which is pretty cool. More on that in a few minutes. We want to start with our top story this morning. All eyes on wall street after mixed messages on the economy. On wednesday the dow jones soared 147 points closing at a record high. Traders celebrated the jump, which came thanks in part to a surprise decision from the Federal Reserve chairman ben bernanke. Lets go right to cnbc jackie deangeles on what it means for the markets and for you. This surprised people because for months the fed has been saying we may back down on some of the stimulus, now theyre saying, no. In fact, ben bernanke said we have been overoptimistic. What is the impact . Good morning, matt. A big impact on wall street, as you said. The market surging yesterday on this news but really on the effect that bad news is good news for the market. When we look at what chairman bernanke has been saying, he indicated there may be a pull but, of course, the chairman never promised that and he mentioned that yesterday. Meantime, what he cited in terms of his reasoning for the decision the tightening of financial conditions and also concern over how pulling back on the stimulus could potentially impact the economy and, also, employment. He was making a very big point there. The take away from wall street that the fed was concerned about even pulling back the slightest bit here which means we have to focus on data as we go forward and were going to be looking for the quality of that data to show that the economy is really improving. So, if, for example, for the next unemployment report wall tick down because more jobs are being added. Not necessarily because less people are looking. Lets just break this down for the average person out there. Is this good news in the short term that signals perhaps bad news in the long run . For the short term it is good news. You can see that how the markets reflected yesterday. Your 401 k s, your mutual funds will rise with the markets and also probably see Interest Rates continue to stay low, which is good for businesses in terms of low cost of borrowing and also good for people who are out there looking to buy homes with their mortgage rates. But in terms of the long term, youre going to be watching the fed very closely in that market. There could be more volatility to come because when the taper does happen, you could see a pull back in the market. Jackie deangeles of cnbc, thank you. Appreciate it. Now, weve got that exclusive interview with irans new president. He is speaking out for the first time in eight years to nbcs ann curry about a wide range of topics, including Nuclear Weapons, his predecessor and the sensorship of iranians. Ann, good morning to you. I reaching out saying now is time to make a deal and when asked about the very touchy issues of human rights and israel. Mr. President , these are Benjamin Netanyahu words, not mine. He said about you, his strategy is to be a wolf in sheeps clothing and smile and build a bomb. Can you say now categorically then that iran will not build a Nuclear Weapon under any circumstances whatsoever . Translator firstly, an occupier who does injustice to the people of the region and brought instability to the region with its warmongering policies shouldnt allow itself to give speeches about a freely elected government. We have clearly stated we are not in pursuit of Nuclear Weapons and will not be. About iran isfluenced by your predecessor and statements he has made. Let me ask you, president ahmadinejad said the holocaust is a myth. Do you agree . Translator im not a historian. Im a politician. What is important for us is that the countries of the region and the people grow closer to each other and that they are able to prevent aggression and injustice. President ahmadinejad had people believing that he wanted to wipe israel off the map. Do you agree with this . Translator what we wish for in this region is rule of the people. We believe in the ballot box. We do not seek war with any country. We seek peace and friendship among the nations of the region. Mr. President , upon your election and youve seen these images of young people cheering in the streets, looking for change. Youve said that the government should interfere less in the private lives of people. What exactly do you mean . Will the government stop trying to sensor the internet in iran . In the near future, the government will set up a commission for citizens rights. We want the people and their private lives to be completely free and todays world having access to information and the right of free dialogue and the right to think freely is the right of all people, including the people of iran. Does that mean that people in iran will have access now to twitter and to facebook . Translator the view point of the government is that people must have access to all information worldwide. Our opinions based on the protection of our National Identity and on our morales. As for that part about the holocaust, while president rouhani did not deny the holocaust as president ahmadinejad had done, his nonanswer will likely raise a lot of eyebrows. Savannah . Could be telling. Ann curry with an exclusive interview this morning. Thank you so much. New information on the Navy Yard Massacre and what really happened inside that building. Today National Investigative correspondent jeff rossen is in washington with more. Jeff, good morning to you. Matt, good morning. Investigators are trying to figure out what made aaron alexis snap and this morning new clues about his troubled mind. He scratched two phrases into the shotgun he used. One said better off this way. The other said, my elf weapon. They dont know what that means. Now there are bigger questions looming. Why was he allowed on the base in the first place . Aaron alexis was free to come and go at the navy yard. Granted special security clearance, despite his past. Including three run ins with police and recent struggles with psychiatric issues. There were some red flags, of course, there were. And should we have picked them up . Why didnt we . How could we . All those questions need to be answered. Reporter just last month alexis complained of hearing voices. It was reported to the local navy officials, but never went up the chain of command. The gunmans mother breaking her silence wednesday off camera. I dont know why he did what he did and never be able to ask him why. Aaron is now in a place where no can no longer do harm to anyone and for that i am glad. Reporter back at the crime scene investigators have a new account of what happened. Based on Surveillance Video and eyewitnesses. Alexis entered building 197 carrying a shotgun in a bag, opening fire from the fourth floor. He then dashed back to the entrance, shot the security guard, took his handgun and kept shooting. Until Police Killed him. In watching that video, any rhyme or reason to the madness . Just sheer. Reporter you have fought hard for tighter gun control and yet here is somebody who is clearly mentally disturbed but still able to legally get a gun. Whats wrong here . Here in the district for firearms registration we require a background check that includes Mental Health but there is that gap. Reporter where he can get it somewhere else. Where he can get it somewhere else. And in this case, literally, a tenminute drive away you can purchase. Reporter she wants the loopholes closed. You start thinking about the 12 people that went to work the morning before and didnt come home. Heartbreaking. Reporter one other interesting note here. Law enforcement officials tell nbc news that alexis created a website but never did anything with it and gave no indication that he was interested in jihad. Authorities say it is a complete mystery why he did that. Jeff rossen in washington this morning, thank you so much. Natalie is here and has more on the winning powerball ticket.
