Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Theres one story dominating headlines today. Lets get right to it. President trump facing immediate fallout after his firing of fbi director james comey. Trump said the move was a necessary one to restore public confidence. The dismissal is casting a large shadow over the russia investigation and where it goes from here. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are questioning the timing of this firing. Some democrats are calling for a special council to lead the russia inquiry. And trump is sitting down in the oval office with russias foreign minister. We have complete coverage on all of this. Lets go to Peter Alexander at the white house. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. To be clear, this was a shocking move. The shock waves reverberating. President trump firing james comey, who was leading the investigation into the possible ties between president Trumps Campaign aides and the kremlin. Mitch mcconnell defending the situation, highlighting democrats criticism of comey. The top democrat, chuck shuker urging the appointment of a special prosecutor who is independent of what he calls the heavy hand of this administration. Overnight fired fbi director james comey returns to washington after his dramatic dismissal by President Trump. Hes become more famous than me. Reporter less than three months after publicly embracing comey, the president who built his brand on youre fired, insisting he had to fire comey. That dismissal letter hand delivered to fbi headquarters by the keith schiller. Comey in los angeles for an event to recruit fbi agents comey was not fired because of hillary. Comey was fired because of the russians. Blasting his handling of the he brought it back. I have have to tell you, i respect the fact that director comey was able to come back after what he did, and it took guts for director comey to make the move he made. The white house pushing back on those comments. This has nothing to do with the campaign from six months ago, everything to do with the performance of the fbi director since the president has been in the white house. Reporter claiming the fbi director informed him on three separate occasions he was not under investigation. When asked, the white house couldnt identify those occasions. Overnight, press sec tai sean spicer. This is a decision should have been shared by most democrats, chuck shuk her, nancy pelosi. Instead the Top Democrats are demanding answers on russia. If an independent special prosecutor is appointed, there still can be faith we can get to the bottom of this. If not, everyone will suspect coverup. Mr. Trump firing back claiming Chuck Schumer stated recently, i do not have confidence in comey any longer, then acts so indignant. Richard burr, the chair of the Senate Intelligence committee, the folks heading up the russia investigation calling comeys dismissal a loss for the bureau and the nation. As we mentioned, the president has a single event on his public schedule today that should happen about 30 minutes from now. A meeting in the oval office with sergey lavrov, the foreign minister of russia, just 30 minutes today. One white house official saying they should put the russia investigation behind us. Matt and savannah. Timing is everything. Peter alexander at the white house. Lets bring in Pete Williams, nbcs longtime justice correspondent. By all accounts, this was a stunner. What is the mood inside the fbi this morning . Total shock, savannah. Nobody saw this coming. There was a sense director comeys testimony last week about the clinton email investigation allowed him to make the public explanation he wanted, he had finally gotten it behind him. He had no idea this was coming and the way he found about it was at the very least undignified. Many agents were unhappy with aspects of how he ran the clinton email investigation, but he was generally popular inside the fbi and well respected and only once before has a president fired an fbi director. Bill clinton fired william sessions in 1993 over concerns sessions was using government money for personal purposes. Now the man who was the deputy fbi director, andrew mccabe, a 21year veteran of the fbi becomes the acting director. Hes someone who had the confidence of james comey because comey picked mccabe to be hi number two. As for the russia investigation, it keeps on going, run out of the counterintelligence division. The firing of comey casts a big cloud over it. Pete, thank you very much. We are joint by clint watts, former fbi special agent and former consultant to the fbis counterterrorism division. Good morning to you. Good morning to you. Let me follow up. Give me your knowledge of people in the bureau right now. Do they think this firing resulted from the email vision or the russia investigation . I would estimate they think its the russia investigation. Theres been months of which the Trump Administration could have fired director comey over the clinton email investigation. They chose not to. This comes at a time when the grand jury is finally issuing subpoenas that relate to the Flynn Investigation which is part of this trump conspiracy with russia. Very ominous timing. Yok any fbi agent in the fbi today would think this is an independent and needed action that President Trump needed to undertake. If its about the investigation into Hillary Clinton and her emails, the Inspector General of the fbi is looking into the directors handling of that investigation. Why wouldnt you wait until the results of that investigation come in before you make this move . I think because its an emotional decision. If you saw president clinton when he had to fire the fbi, he waited for the ethics investigation to come forward and then used that for cause. This is the weakest cause case thats been out there. It makes no sense not toed if go ahead and wait for that ethics investigation to be completed. Clint, as a practical matter, what happens to the russia investigation now . We just heard pete say it continues. Obviously there are agents working on it. If a new fbi director doms in and is presumably hand picked by donald trump, can that fbi director shut it down . Can that person slowwalk it . As a practical matter what happens to the russia investigation . Theres three things we should look at. The fbi agents that are doing the Russian Investigation yesterday are doing what they planned to do. Theyre not going to stop. But the gap we should look at, the second thing is, charges have to go to a grand jury. In a has to be pushed to the department of justice. Who is impartial at the department of justice that would have an open mind about this . We just saw where the doj under sessions, who said he recused himself, is probably not going to be open to charges being pushed on the russia investigation. And the president signaled in his own letter, there was nothing to be looking at in terms of the russia investigation. Whoever he appoints, the new fbi director is, they could repry other ties over what President Trump wants rather than whats good for the nation. Clint, thank you very much. Lets bring in Nicolle Wallace and ari melber. On the bombshell meter, how does this rate . This is huge. The letter doesnt sound true from the doj because its not true. Lets be the dhefls advocate. A lot of people want to give the president the benefits of the doubt. Why is it not a reasonable rationale that he is unhappy with the way comey handled the email investigation, something in a many career prosecutors and democrats found fault with. Whats the rationale . There were procedural problems with the way director comey handled the investigation. The letter, though, from this doj under donald trump says the main problem was the approach by director comey was essentially too mean to Hillary Clinton. That is at odds with everything the candidate said. Also at odds with what attorney general Jeff Sessions at the time. And by the way, nicolle, if you want to fire james comey, you can do it as day one as president. You dont have to wait five months. Let me read you a portion of the letter that President Trump wrote to director comey. Here is the paragraph. While i greatly appreciate you informing me on three separate occasions that im not under the investigation, i nevertheless concur with the judgment of the department of justice that youre not able to effectively lead the bureau. What does that paragraph mean . It means that nobody has reined in donald trump as if hes still the anchor of the apprentice. You saw where sally yates was fired for refusing to enforce the muslim ban. No one believes thats all that was going on, to borrow a phrase from donald trump. When people refuse to fall into line, and this should send a chill and should wake up every republican who thinks that its okay to go along the fact that democrats are james comeys defenders this morning most President Trump because of james comeys handling of the emails. Its interesting to see the part that matt just read. On the one hand, the white house is saying this is all about the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Trumps own letter betrays the fact that it is in fact about russia, thats top of mind. We can give him the benefit of the doubt. We should play devils advocate. But the fact they could turn the page on russia by removing the head of the fbi simply guarantees what was once a employee gliet focus will now be a burning focus. The president has made an admission of a stunning level in that letter that youre pointing to. The doj is trying to create neutral reasons that it has nothing to do with russia. And donald trump, in writing that sentence he couldnt hold back on, is raising his own criminal liability. He inserted himself and russia into what they claim was a neutral policy decision. From a communications perspective, and i think you laid it out. If you wanted to draw attention to russia, this seems like exactly what you would do. Fire the guy investigating you for russia. What they have done, is now everyone has to choose. If you care about getting to the bottom of the questions about russian meddling in 2016, which we know Lindsey Graham and john mccain say they care about. If you care about having a nonpolitical fbi director, you must have an fbi director that promises to get to the bottom of that investigation between trumps orbit and russia. And you must now have an independent council. I dont know how you avoid it. Good time to have a new show, which you do. Deadline white house msnbc at 4 00 p. M. Eastern. And were going to hear from President Trump on this dismissal and a lot more tomorrow, as he will be sitting down with nbcs lester holt, an exclusive interview, this is his first since this firing. It starts airing tomorrow on nightly news, friday morning on today. You might have to do this. I have an allergy issue. New developments in south korea amid tensions in the region.

Hess softer stance on north korea could create friction with the u. S. The new president says hell sincerely negotiate with russh washington over the deployment of a u. S. Missile defense system. This morning, officials in Washington State are investigating a cause of a frightening situation at the Nuclear Defense system. The collapse of a tunnel used to store radioactive material. Nbcs Gadi Schwartz has more. Good morning. Reporter the tunnel where this happened was supposed to be cleaned up by 2024. But that was extended all the way to 2042 because the department of energy didnt think a tunnel collapse was likely. It was a massive alarm at the Hanford Nuclear cleanup site, thousands of workers sheltering in place. For hours, the workers to stay inside, after a gaping hole was discovered in a tunnel used to bury radioactive waste. A robot sent in to inspect the collapsed area. Theres been no evidence of a radiological release. Reporter after no leak was detected, most employees were spent home for the day. Others began repairing the tunnel and filling the ole with soil. Wash dog groups say thousands of tons of Nuclear Wastes are disasters waiting to happen. State representative Jerry Paulette says an earthquake in this area could be catastrophic. The entire northwest could be put at incredible risk of a radioactive disaster. Reporter hanford once produced plutonium for the Nuclear Arsenal during the atomic age, when Safety Nuclear disposal seemed almost like afterthoughts. Its like having fukushima sitting in your back yard ready to go off. Reporter now its estimated it could take over 100 billion and 40 to 60 years to make the site safe. An nbc news investigation by ronan pharaoh found cleanup efforts at the hanford facility had been linked to health concerns. This week of fishls say a major crisis was averted in hanford. Others say its a warning for Nuclear Sites nationwide. If you have continued degradation, you have the potential for one after another very serious accidents. Reporter currently, hanford receives over 1 billion from the department of energy for Nuclear Waste cleanup. At this point its still unclear what kind of condition those tunnels are in. Matt and savannah, back to you. Gadi schwartz, thank you. Let that has airlines in the spotlight again. Another fight between two passengers. The brawl broke out last weekend on a southwest flight that had just landed in burbank, california. Its not clear why the men were fighting.

We talked about the firing of the fbi director. Some other headlines to get to. Philadelphia prosecutors say the amtrak engineer that was involved in the derailment that killed eight people and injured 200 others, will not be charged. They cannot prove he acted with conscious disregard, the legal standard. He was operating the train 106 Miles Per Hour on a 50mileperhour curve. Investigators found he lost track of his location. But he was not under drugs or alcohol or distracted by his cell phone. Now a scary moment in south carolina, a school bus that had 56 students onboard engulfed in flames. Two kids sitting at the back of the bus alerted the driver when they noticed the smoke. It took the driver less than a minute to get everyone off. Nobody was hurt. The cause of the fire is under investigation. As savannah just said, President Trumps firing of fbi director, james comey, sending shock waves throughout washington. A number of democrats and republicans were questioning that move. Comey was leading the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and russian officials during the campaign. So, the president s decision has sparked new calls that a special prosecutor be appointed. Peter alexander is at the white house with more on the fallout the president is facing this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. The story is still developing as we speak. The president up early as the country is digesting the fallout of his firing of james comey. President trump on twitter now vowing he will make a great pick to replace comey. And adding, comey lost the confidence of almost everyone in washington, republican and democrat alike. When things calm down, trump writes, they will be thanking me. James comey himself landed back here in d. C. Overnight after learning about his dismissal during an fbi recruiting event. The headlines broke on the tvs behind him. He initially thought it was a prank. The white house saying the president acted on the recommendations the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, and his Deputy Attorney general, who blasted comeys conduct during the 2016 election and public statements, surrounding the investigation into Hillary Clintons emails as a textbook example of what federal prosecutors and agents are taught not to do. The president does have a single event on his public schedule at the white house here today. Its a meeting to take place in the oval office with sergey lavrov. Thats the foreign minister of russia. Now what . President trump, called comeys number two, andy mccabe. He brought him to the white house last night. And after an oval office meeting, he named mccabe the acting fbi director even though in fact mccabe is the one who oversaw the fbis investigation into Hillary Clintons email. Matt and savannah. Thank you very much. We switch gears now. We have the latest on the disturbing deadly case of alleged hazing that has rocked penn state. Eight more members of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity were arraigned on tuesday. The indictments have revealed a detailed timeline how that fateful night unfolded. Were going to talk to the University President and the District Attorney in the case. First, heres stephanie gosk. Reporter 8 56 p. M. , according to the prosecution, the gauntlet begins. Surveillance video shows pledges shotgun beers and drink from bottles of vodka. At 10 31 they are visibly intoxicated. At 10 45, prosecutors say Timothy Piazza is visibly drunkingly walking towards the steps. And brothers heard him fall down the stairs. Four brothers carry him back up stairs to the couch. Prosecutors say his abdomen has a large bruise. Over the next 25 minutes, Surveillance Video shows a backpack is placed on piazzas back so he doesnt roll over. One brother testified at 11 14 he demand theyd take piazza to the hospital. He is shoved into the wall and asked to leave. At 11 25, the pledge master slaps piazza three times in the face. At 11 53, a group text is sent around. Tim piazza might actually be a problem. He fell 15 feet down a flight of stairs, hairfirst, going to need help. But nothing happens. Brothers say they saw piazza vomit and twitch at 1 00. Between 3 00 and 5 00 in the morning, piazza tries to get up but falls three more times. The last time into an iron railing and into a door. By 5 15 a. M. , he has been repeatedly ignored and twice stepped over. At 6 57, a groaning piazza is filmed. The video later posted on snapchat. At 7 18, piazza stands for a final time and staggers towards the basement. At 10 00 a. M. , piazza is found there. He is described as cold to the touch and pale. His eyes halfopen. For 42 minutes, brothers try to shake him awake and try to dress him. One brother googles phrases like, cold extremities in a drunk person. At 10 48 a. M. , 12 hours after piazza first fell, 911 is called. We have a friend who is unconscious. Reporter for today, stephanie gosk, nbc news, state college, pennsylvania. Lets get more on this with eric barron. He is president of Penn State University. He joins us live. President barron, good morning to you. Good morning. Thank you for having me. I just wish it was under better circumstances. No one should have to deal with this kind of tragedy. No family should. I think we all agree on that. When you hear what we just heard, when you read the description of what happened to this young man over a period of 12 plus hours, it literally makes you sick to your stomach. Is this a wakeup call for Penn State University . Are you willing to acknowledge whatever the university was doing to govern this fraternity and all fraternities, it hasnt been enough . I would say this is clearly a national problem. Weve had tens of deaths across the nation. We have University President s, large, small, private, public, trying to deal with this problem. You know that if you have a society, which is secret, which from all outward appearances is incredibly positive. These brothers signed a pledge that if they were caught drinking, they would be expelled. They had faculty advisers. They had a beautiful house. They had cameras. There were no external parties. We would have said this was a model fraternity. But if behind closed doors, a group of people are willing to band together, keep something secret and not tell anyone, how is it that universities can manage to deal with a situation like that . Its private property. Its a private house. But i will tell you this, were not going to give up until we solve the problem or shut down every house thats out there. Its a problem. No question. And its a difficult position for someone in your role. I think theres a lot of people sitting there thinking, wait a minute, the University Just turned a blind eye. They know what really goes on in these fraternities and they allow it. Okay. So, we have been working on this for more than a decade. We began with a lot of educational programs. Then, mandatory educational programs. And response programs, if we had an incident. Then, we worked on Team Approaches to get everybody involved, all the partners involved. Then, we go to a task force that looks at mechanisms where we can see something happening ahead of time. But the only real tool we have in the tool box is to take away the recognition for house. You have to remember, that its private property. Its a private house. Its privately managed. It has a National Organization that is involved there. It has alumni boards that are there. And the only tool that penn state has to be effective is to say, youre no longer a student organization. And i should mention, sir, that penn state has done that with regard to Beta Theta Pi, the fraternity in question here. Im sorry, i have to let you go here. Were out of time. But i do appreciate you coming on and sharing your perspective. Okay. Just one last thing, beta will never be back at penn state, never. Lets get more on the investigation. Stacy parks miller is the certainty county District Attorney. Her office has jurisdiction over penn state. District attorney parksmiller, good morning to you. Good morning. With all due respect to president barron, is he ignoring something that was wellknown on the campus of Penn State University . Was this a secret kept right out in the open . I will say this. The grand jury is going to go on and theyre going to issue a report and recommendation about who knew what and when. And when that report comes out, i think it will answer all of those questions. What has your investigation taught you about the culture and the climate of alcohol abuse of fraternities on penn state . As the presentment showed, this behavior, particularly with this fraternity, had gone back quite a period of time. And we had found at least on just the cell phones, they had been doing it for semester after semester after semester. And i think the report recommendation will open a lot of eyes about who knew what. Because its a grand jury report and recommendation, it has to come to fruition before the details can be released. But i think it will be surprising to people who knew what. District attorney parks miller i think every parent needs to go and read this timeline. Everybody in general. You should go and read the timeline. As disturbing as it is, it is so illuminating as to what happened inside that fraternity. Im curious how you came up with the threshold, in terms of people who were actively involved in the drinking hazing ritual and people who simply ignored the desperate condition of this young man. How did you decide who to charge and who not to charge . Well, as you know, we worked with the grand jury. And they made the recommendation for charging, which we wholeheartedly supported, after they heard scores of testimony. For manslaughter, you have to find that reckless behavior led to the death. And in this case, the theory begins with preplanning an event that gets you to a fatal level of alcohol, which leads directly to the death. So, you have people who plan the event and participated in it. Two things. One of the Defense Attorneys for one of the young men charged, quote, the government assumes these young men, many of whom were intoxicated themselves, should have been able to differentiate symptoms of extreme intoxication to symptoms of a lifethreatening head injury. Thats an impossible burden to place on them. How do you feel about that . Yeah. Thats misstating pennsylvania law and its a copout. Personal responsibility lives and it lives at least in my county. Reckless death begins and ends when they serve these young men, as part of a condition to be in the fraternity. Fatal levels of alcohol. Thats the reckless conduct that leads to his death. Ignoring signs of his injury just compounds that. It starts when they decide to get these young men fatally drunk, risking death. That begins the manslaughter. The rest of it just compounds it. Real quickly, the parents of tim piazza. To do they see all of these 18 young men as equal offenders, those that forced him to drink and those who ignored his condition . Yes. And im sure personally, outside of the legal realm, which is our job to assign responsibility, they see personally everybody who did not help him as responsible. And morally, theyre probably not wrong. Center county District Attorney, stacy parks miller, thank you for your time this morning. I want to reiterate. Everybody needs to read this timeline because it will change your view of what happened. Just reading it. It actually just takes your breath away. When you see what happened and what the allegations are and the pain of these parents to think their child was treated so shabbily. And the total disregard for his safety. It is a shocking case and we will hear more about it in days to come. Just ahead, well shift gears and ask the question, with so many negative headlines about the airlines, what can we do to make flying friendly again . Thats an important question.

Lets get to the top stories. A busy day. Heres the news at 8 00. Reporter busy day for sure. Im Hallie Jackson at the white house. This morning, near universal criticism from democrats and some republicans, donald trump is defending his decision to fire fbi director james comey. Tweeting this morning. Comey lost the confidence of almost everyone in washington, republican and democrat alike. When things calm down, they will be thanking me. This morning, fallout from the bombshell firing almost no one saw coming. Democrats arguing the president played politics with the surprising dismissal of fbi director james comey. Comey was not fired because of hillary. Comey was fired because of the russians. Are people going to suspect coverup . Absolutely. Reporter the president firing back on twitter. Crying Chuck Schumer said i do not have confidence in comey any longer and acts to indignant. Draintheswamp. The white house insisting that comeys firing had nothing do with the fbis Ongoing Investigation into russias interference in the election. The actions taken by director comey have created a single viewpoint that things had to change. Reporter the white house says the president followed the recommendation of his new Deputy Attorney general, rob rosenstein, who argued in a memo. Comey lost his confidence over the handling of the investigation into Hillary Clintons emails. Before the election, the president praised comey for that clinton inquiry. It took guts for director comey to make the move he made. He brought back his reputation. He brought it back. Hes got to hang tough. Reporter what changed . Rosensteins recommendation that comey should be fired. The same day the president reviewed that memo, he made the decision to dismiss comey. Setting off a whirlwind with Top White House aides deployed to defend the decision, facing questions on russia, instead. Its time to focus on the things the American People care about. Reporter while the white house argues that democrats are playing politics, by slamming the decision to dismiss comey, a handful of republicans are not onboard, either. Including richard burr, looking into russia, saying he finds comeys firing troubling. With new questions, now, about whether a special prosecutor would oversee the Russian Investigation, interesting timing. The only meeting on the president s schedule, one here at the white house with moscows foreign minister in the oval office. Matt . Thank you very much. Events in this are clearly moving quickly. Nbc justice correspondent Pete Williams has more on the role that the attorney general and his deputy played in comeys firing. Pete, good morning again. Good morning to you. One big question here, where did this idea come from . What was the genesis . Some Department Officials say it originated in the Justice Department. Rob rosenstein, once he became confirmed as the Deputy Attorney general, was determined to do this and drew up this bill of particulars against james comey. But there were others from our team at the white house, that the idea originated at the white house. That the president tasked the Justice Department to come up with justifications for comeys firing. This morning the attorney general, Jeff Sessions as he left his house on the way to the Justice Department, had no comment on this. But during the campaign, he said that he thought comey did the right thing in late october, when he sent that letter to congress, saying in essence that the clinton email investigation had been reopened. Now, the investigation of any potential connection between the Trump Campaign and the russia hacking of the election, is now in the hands of the number two man of the fbi, who becomes the acting director, andrew mccabe, a 21year veteran of the fbi, matt. Pete williams, thank you so much. Coming up, notsofriendly skies. We have fights in the terminals, even in the aisle of a plane. This morning, what we should be doing to make things more peaceful.

We teamed up with People Magazine, for a special mom talk today edition. Sit back and have a little lunch with us. Ladies, i hope youre hungry. Find your spot. Hoda, youre over here, honey. Thank you. What a beautiful lunch. Thank you, kathie lee. Lets thank the lord real quick, shall we . Lord, we thank you so much for this time together. We thank you for sisterhood and, father, for fatherhood. We are so grateful in your holy name. Amen. Sweet. Ive been a mother now for many, many years. I cant believe i have a 27yearold and a 23yearold. But you are a mom for the first time. Youre a mom for the first time. This will be your very first mothers day. I cant tell you how exciting that thought is. I have to say, the idea of haley existing and me being a mom. And me sitting at this table with you guys, im having a few outofbodies. Am i supposed to be at this table . It feels weird . But its i cant believe the greatest joy of my life came at 52. I believe god has a plan. And we all get the baby thats coming to us. Whatever form that takes. Its haley for you at this moment. And you wouldnt have had it happen at any time because haley is your baby. Youve been waiting your whole life for her, not just a baby, your baby. Im old, i had my kids late. I dont want any other kids but vale and charlie. I want those kids. Those are my babies. We all feel like that. And if youre not a mom in a traditional sense, we all have the children god intends us to have. You may know this, but my parents couldnt get pregnant for a lot of years. So, they tried to adopt. And the day they found out they were pregnant with us, was the day they found out they had been accepted to adopt. They were pregnant with twins. They said, lets just hold off. I keep that picture of them that they sent to the Adoption Agency by my bed. Doesnt it look like two people who are desperate to have children . And for you, with haley, thats what youve done. And youve changed peoples ideas on what motherhood is. So, dylan, happy mothers day. Thank you. First time ever somebodys going to say that to you. Im so excited. And im very fortunate. Every night i wake up at 3 30 in the morning to pump. It wakes up brian every night. He looks over and he says, i want you to know youre beautiful, i love you.

I have terrible mom guilt. Im hardly away from my kids. Hardly ever. And i feel sick inside when im not with them. I really do. Why . Almost physically ill. Because you miss them so much . Or you feel like youre letting them down somehow . All of the above. I miss them. I feel like im letting them down. If im with them all day, all weekend long and i want to take a bath or something, i feel bad if theyre on the other side of the apartment. I dont. Im telling you, i have it bad. Mom guilt is real. Were so blessed with technology in todays world. I didnt have any of this stuff. My son called me last night and facetimed me. The fact they still want to be with you and like you all the time. I dont like them all the time. But we love each other. Its a bond thats beyond belief. It really is. For people who say, well, just wait. Wait until they get older, thats not true, you guys. It was with my parents. Except for jenna. Teenage years. The teenage years werent pretty. Just those two arrests. Thats not bad. That one tongue sticking out. The one tongue. On my maternity leave, when i was getting up and breastfeeding every two hours or whatever, and mike would be like snoring, next to me, i know, in the morning, we would wake up. And he would go, im so tired. I did not sleep well. No, i was up. You slept great. You need to stop saying youre tired. You need to ban im tired from your vocabulary. Joel was like that. At 2 00 in the morning, i heard something weird. And it disrupted my sleep. Oh, she was wailing. Thats a scream you heard. And i fell back down. Im just i got to shake it off. I think theres a Common Thread with the folks i met and who are here, we were lucky to have parents that made us feel like you could do anything. It was a matter of how to get there. You know what i like about my mom . My mom and my dad made us feel we could do anything. At the same time, they didnt overstate the case. My mom loved me, no matter what. I would walk out the door wearing a hideous outfit and she would say, oh, look at you. How beautiful you look today. And i honestly believed her. I wondered in seventh grade, why is no boy asking me to do anything . Im so beautiful. I had glasses and frizzy hair. But i believed her. When she said, you can do anything. I swear to her, i believed it was true. And still do. And today, what an amazing interview you did with that celebrity, whoever. Anyway, kathie lee was so funny. And you were good, too. Its like someone with two pompoms. And all i want to hear is you can do it. I want to say, you can do it. Mila had a Parent Teacher conference, and they said mila has so much empathy. I tried. She did . She does . I want them to be kind. I want them to be good. They are. Theyre born like these precious girls who care so much about each other and about others. And to me, that is most important. I want that so much. And i see that now. Dont mess this up, jenna. We got one shot. Youre not messing that up. Happy mothers day. Happy mothers day. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers to mothers day. Love you, ladies. Love you. Now, im jealous. That looked like a lot of fun. We had fun. Kathy kept talking all afternoon.

Topvo east bay water customers may soon be paying er good wednesday morning. At 8 26, im sam brock. East bay mud customers could soon be paying higher rates to cover system improvement costs. East bay mud is now proposing a 19 hike over the course of the next couple of years. That extra money the agents says would go towards covering costs toward old piping and Water Treatment systems. The first proposed hike would amount to a 9 increase. A very similar hike would take effect next july. This will affect more than a million people. Under that proposed hike, bills will go up more than four bucks per month. The first public hearing is scheduled to take place about one month from now. Mike inouye is looking at a couple of situations right now on the peninsula. What are you looking at . Both 101 and 280 in the San Francisco area. The south bay with the standard build. We told you this would get a little heavier and should start to lighten the next half hour. Also slower across the dumbarton bridge westbound but on the peninsula south 280, theres a crash at 380 and in the backup. In that backup, two other crashes in the shoulder so thats a tough drive coming down into daly city. 101 north from 380 jams up toward sterling where there was an earlier crash. That cleared involving a motorcycle, some injuries there as well and major slowing getting up into San Francisco on 101 itself. Smooth across the bay bridge, sam. Back to you. We hope everybody is okay. Well be back with more news in 30. Good morning, everybody. Were back. Its wednesday, may 10th. Its 8 30 in the morning. Another nice one here on the plaza.

Get that weather anytime you need it. Check out our friends at the Weather Channel on table. Guy . All right, al. Now, manners on the move today. This is a conversation with people across america about etiquette, where they live, work and travel. Were starting with a wave of recent problems for the parms we showed one just this morning. It was passengers on a southwest flight that had just landed in california. Thomas farrelly, mr. Manners himself, is here to look at bad behavior before and after boarding. Thomas, we need it. We sure do. Its been said that the journey not the destination is what matters. But tell that to air travelers. We went to atlantas Hartsfield Jackson to talk etiquette in the skies. Anger in the air. Cell phone cameras were rolling as tempers flared during testy and violent encounters in the cabin. From just over 1,000 incidents of air rage in 1994, to over 10,000 in 2015. Perhaps its fueled by a larger anxiety. We went to Hartsfield Jackson airport to take the pulse of the flying public. After 9 11, going through security, it can be a stressful experience. Leg room is smaller. Its not as pleasant as it used to be. An airport is a stressful environment. You have to get from a to b. Peoples patience level is at zero when they show up at the gate. I am a believer that we contribute in some way, passengers, flight crew. What are some things that passengers could be doing differently . Rushing to get on the plane. Sort of people pushing you from the back. That starts it off. People lose their etiquette. Its a 15hour flight, and crowded in this big, metal tube in the air. Reporter seat belted in so close to strangers and some behaviors can be offensive. Probably the worse thing i experienced was a woman brushing her teeth, sucking on her toothbrush the entire flight. People take off their shoes and the flight smells for the rest of the time. No taking your shoes off. If you wear flipflops, thats fine. It would be nice to not cross your legs so the foots not in the other persons lap. Reporter what about reclining your seat . I say go for it. The person in front of me is going to do it. Domino effect. Never. Reporter why . If you recline your seat one centimeter, it makes me flight 35 more uncomfortable. I try to pass that courtesy on to the person behind me. Reporter there was little debate over who gets two armr t armrests . The middle seat, both. Middle seat person, in my humble upon, gets both. The guy in the middle, whats he going to do . Reporter this mother had taken her 2yearold daughter on her first flight. She says travel with a child can be nerveracking. Sometimes people dont have the compassion. They have in their mind, im in a rush. And gabby almost got knocked down. Wherever youre going is not that serious to knock my baby over to get there. Reporter and this man says he suspects some travelers go to Great Lengths to board early. They abuse the system in terms of wheelchair access. You see more wheelchairs coming on to the plane than going off. Thats frustrating. Reporter this executive says he travels 100 times a year. Whats your secrets for keeping your cool with flight delays, weather delays . Stay focused on the things i can control. I cant control the weather. I cant control maintenance. And try to have empathy for people who are working with you. Often times, these folks with the messengers, not the creators of the issue. Reporter this young woman was about to take her first flight, had this perspective on how to deal with travelers. Respect peoples place. And say excuse me if you bump into somebody. Try to be plight even though youre all cramped together. Really good insight on this. You have takeaways . Thats right. Three tips we want to go through here. The first is, arrive at the airport prepared. We know travel is stressful. Bring the things that make you happy. Your favorite playlist, your favorite book. Your favorite candy bar. Youre able to be more considerate and less stressed at the airport. You want to enfwaj in conversation. We heard this universally with the people you spoke with. You sit next to someone for six hours, you pull down the eye mask and pop in the ear buds. The more you humanize this experience, were on it together. Guilty. And for business travelers. You want to get into the laptop and get the work tone. But you can make a life long friend on an airplane. Or have niceties. And make it pleasant for everyone. Be prconsiderate. Youre not going the encoach into others area. Use space wisely and considerately. For those of us who travel with kids, Public Service announcement, dont give us the death lasers. The parents feel terrible, terrible when their kids are misbehaving and trying to control the situation. Those with toddlers, where could be more control exercise to do that, but with the babies, thats beyond your control. Good info. Tomorrow, were tackling manners with your neighbors. More on today.

Dont be fooled by at t. Xfinity delivers the fastest speeds to the most homes. Some build walls to keep people out. But these are walls that welcome you in. Within these walls, californias educators create safe places for every student to learn and grow. Where teachers open minds to history. Unleash creativity. And show our kids the future. Some build walls to divide us. But the California Teachers Association knows these are walls that bring us together. Because quality Public Schools build a better california for all of us. Back, now, with our special series, thanks a million mom. And jenna pulled off this surprise for this mom in memphis. April green, dreamed about having a mom. They turned that into reality when they adopted april at age 17. April responded to our call out to honor special moms for mothers day. But she lives far away from her parents. So, this surprise was a tough one to pull off. Im april. And this is sarah. Were living in japan. We are headed to memphis, tennessee. Were going to surprise our mom for mothers day on the today show. Reporter a twoday this is an nbc news special report. Heres lester holt. Good day from new york. Were coming on the air during a busy day in our nations capital, dominated by President Trumps bombshell decision late yesterday to fire fbi director james comey. Just moments ago at the white house, President Trump made his first Public Comments on comeys firing and it happened during a photoop in the oval office with Henry Kissinger, secretary of state under richard nixon. Reporters asking questions of the president during that session. Heres how it went. But it is an honor to have Henry Kissinger with us, hes been a friend of mine for a long time. And thank you very much for being here. Appreciate it. Why did you fire director comey . Why did you fire director comey . Because he wasnt doing a good job, very simply. He was not doing a good job. Did it affect your meeting with the russians today . Excuse me. Did it affect your meeting with the russians today . Not at all. Will the new fbi director be in charge of the russia investigation . Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. That was the extent of the president s comments. You heard the question about his meeting with the russians. Thats referring to his meeting today with sergey lavrov, the foreign minister of russia who was visiting the white house. Some of the followup questions also having to do with the Russian Investigation that james comey as fbi director was leading. That included a look at potential, potential collusion between the Trump Campaign and the russian government. We want to go to nbcs Peter Alexander, hes standing by for us. Peter, democrats had their talking points, the white house has their talking points on this. What are you hearing . I think the bottom line is this white house flat footed last night after this news came out, privately aides here at the white house didnt anticipate the blowback to be as large as it was over the course of the evening, which is why were not just hearing from President Trump now for the first time, we heard from the Vice President moments ago on capitol hill saying this was the right decision at the right time. They want to try as best they can to make this as far from a political decision as possible. To say this was strictly about the incompetence in effect of james comey. As you saw that was an unannounced meeting with Henry Kissinger, notable given all the conversations now and democrats suggesting this was reminiscent of the saturday night massacre during the nixon administration, Henry Kissinger, of course, serving in both the ford and nixon administrations as National Security adviser and secretary of state. Be clear, the white house wanted the president to get out in front of this at this point, now almost 24 hours after the announcement was made. We hadnt heard from him in more than five days. He wanted to make it clear in simple terms that james comey was fired for no other reason than his failure to do his job well. Lester . Peter alexander at the white house, changes. Nbc justice correspondent Pete Williams is in our washington bureau. Members of the bureau had overnight to absorb all of this. Does anything fundamentally change in terms of investigations and progress . No. Theyll still go on, lester. The people who were working on them yesterday are working on them today. Andrew mccabe, the now acting fbi director, was well versed in this investigation. So he can pick it up. The question is whether this will have some longterm influence, though, on the agents working the case. Will they think there is less enthusiasm for this now at the Justice Department and clearly at the white house. There is a strong feeling at the fbi that the pretext and the rosenstein memo was a pretext that the real reason he was fired is he wouldnt stop the russia investigation. The issues here, of course, is the timeline. Is there any indication that the president may be close to naming a replacement or is this truly just land on his lap . It truly just landed in his lap. Although it is to some extent he invited it. But they already have been talking to possible successors, they talked to at least five people, a couple of special agents in charge of fbi offices, and an official of the office of the director of National Intelligence and two people who are now at the fbi, including andrew mccabe. So theyre starting to come up with names. This undoubtedly will be a rolling process. People will come and go off that list. But they say theyre already well into the process of possibly nominating a successor. Pete williams in our Washington News room. Thank you very much. Again, the president moments ago making his first Public Comments about the firing of james comey, saying he was doing a bad job, when asked by reporters as to why he fired him.

Thats what youre looking at right here. In that case the fire dajmaged white suv. In both instances arson investigators were called to the scene.

This morning on todays take, our summer shapeup. And todays mom on motherhood, marriage and mistakes along the way. And one evfor the brooks. A School Librarian getting the surprise of her life. All coming up right now. From nbc news, this is todays take. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. It is may 10th, 2017. Listening ining to crash and y thomas ray. Thats something we scourge with every day. Hopefully, you can relate to it. Speaking of relating to, you blew up the internet last night. I dont have a lot of followers on instagram. But a few i have decided to respond. I happened to be by myself at home. My husband was at a meeting the we had a shoot. I didnt get home until 6 30, 6 45. My little guy was begging for toast. What do you do when your kid wants a snack but he needs to go to bed . This is what i posted. Hello, everybody. This is uche. He did not eat his dinner. Now, its time for bed. And he wants a piece of toast. Do we give him toast or make him go to bed . Give him some toast. I say he should go to bed hungry because he needs to eat his dinner. No. Yes. Good night. Its past 8 00. No toast. Besides him being the most adorable thing in the world. You know what . I genuinely needed advice. What would you do . I want to say, he doesnt eat his dinner, he doesnt get a snack, he has to go to bed. But as a mom who needs to go to sleep, if toast will make him happy and get him to go to sleep . You could not give him the toast. Life is too short. Dont you create a habit . Wouldnt you want warm toast with a little butter every night . The idea, one time, youre moms going to do this. Its never one time. I figure youre all about the toast. I like toast. You have to eat your dinner. I got 107 comments. What did you do . Hes screaming, crying. No, no toast. Tough mom, no toast. Finally, im like, forget it. Ill give him some toast. So, i go downstairs. Wait a minute, someone on instagram, if you toast it, thats spoiling him. I got a hot dog bun. I go upstairs. I go upstairs, open the door. Hes asleep . Knocked out. Really. I go to leave. Mommy . Is that you . Do you have my toast . I go, i give you a hot dog. Thats gross, i dont want it. And turns around and goes to sleep. I dont know what the moral of this story is. I dont either. Dont dont go to dinner at sheinelles. Whats wrong with a hot dog bun . Nothing except theres no hot dog in it. If you give somebody a hot dog bun, you expect a hot dog. You give them toast, thats toast. If you read a comment that said dont toast it, you refused to give the bread and give the hot dog bun. Were you out of bread . No. We have wheat bread. And you know the ends . Who wants the ends. The heel is my favorite. Everybody went ick. If theres a Peanut Butter and jelly and i have to make the heel the crust is my favorite part. Not so much. No. The heel keeps the other bread from going stale. I make a sandwich of two heels. The conversation is all over the place. No heels. And would you rather have heels or a hot dog bun. Heels. Would you rather get hit in the head or the arm. I dont know. The fact you were late because you were on a shoot on Governors Island. I live in downtown manhattan. And Governors Island were you with craig melvin . For a weekend today shoot. Theres this gem that sheinelle spells jem. Think about it, its wrong. I had no idea. 2 to take a ferry to Governors Island. You have the most gorgeous views of manhattan, at the statue of ability and parks and bikes and ice cream. Its true. And you know what else we all appreciated, its so tranquil. Its so quiet. You dont hear the taxis and all that. Besides the helicopters. A new York City High School on Governors Island. We talked to students as they were walking by. We had fun with them, as well. Well see in the piece. It was fun. What about you . I had a thing to do last night. But before i did it, i made dinner for the kids. Hot dog buns . No. I made seared scallops, and grits. This is before you went to an event . Yeah. And i went to the child mind institute. The Organization Helps with childrens mental health. The child mind changemaker awards. And we nominated laurie rothman. She got the local hero award. Deborah would have been there but she was on assignment. And so many folks that work with our kids dont get the thanks. Very nice. All right. I will admit, i was watching earlier. You guys got together, thanks to kathie lee, at her place. An you had a moms get together. I will admit. I lost it a little bit. You were talking about your moms. And i lost mine and was thinking about her. This was terrific what you did. For me, as a new mom, i felt like part of the cool girls club. I was able to share my experience. Were all at different points in our motherhood. And it was fun to share advice and hear some of the stories that is like, im going through that right now. Its okay if things are hard sometimes. And its okay if you dont make the right decision or savannah was talking about mom guilt. And she feel s guilty if shes not with her kids. It was refreshing. Sheinelle and i left, that was the best thing. We were skipping out. It was like having lunch on a cloud. It was therapy, too. Just to hear from other people who can relate. We can all relate. We didnt realize it was for People Magazine, as well. Thats out today. I didnt realize that People Magazine had an app that you can watch. And you have all that, too. They answer the question, heel or hot dog bun . Heel. Youre the first person ive ever met that likes the heels better than regular bread. When you grow up with older brothers, you have to learn to like it. Good stuff. We get together, all of our producers and us, before the show, to talk about what were going to talk about. Morning mothers day is coming up on sunday, which is terrific. Question to the ladies here, the moms. Would you rather get a storepurchased card for mothers day or a homemade card . Would anybody pick store . I dont know. Sometimes, when i was a kid, i made them. But much older i dont mind the storebought card. If you get a storebought card, it would be nice to write something in it. Not, here. I had some of them. Just a card. Love ya. Or even like a sentiment. I need a little thought. Or even if you get your child to do a hand print. A thumbprint. I would rather get a card, made or store bought, than a gift. Theres more feeling behind it. Also, im against the ecard. You know . Make an effort. Show up. Go to the store. Show up. I like that. Or make something. Taking al off my ecard list. Thats just me. Just ahead, wait until you see what eva longoria rubbed up against last night. This salad . At panera, a good salad is so much more than a bowl of something green. More than an obligation to be good. More than just something you have on the side. More than just one flavor, or texture, or color. A good clean salad is so much more than green. And with panera catering, more for your event. Panera.

Firefighters are looking at two east bay car fires outside a home separated by just a couple miles were intentionally set. One of them happened outside this home on leroy lane in walnut creek. There was a second fire that happened right around the same time outside of this house on padre street in lafayette. In that case the fire damage, you see a white suv there. In both cases arson investigators were called to the scene. This is also the driveway of a third car fire that was in Contra Costa County since monday. Investigators looking into the cause of that fire, and that was in martinez. In the east bay, east bay customers could be shelling out more money to east bay mud. The extra money would go to new pipes and cost suppression systems. A similar increase would then take effect next july. On that proposed hike, bills on your average home would go up more than 400 per month. There will be a public hearing on this. The first one is scheduled to take place one month from today.

I saw the onion, the zucchini, the marinara sauce and the eggs. Were going to make something sensational, delicious and slimming. Did you know that sheinelle has never purchased zucchini. As i kid, i didnt like it. This is your homework tonight. Okay. Were making a middle eastern dish thats going to have zucchini monoodles in it. This is a fancy spiral slicer. You can get one from a home good store, or use a vegetable slicer. You make your noodles. In the skillet, you saw day the noodles about two minutes. I add in garlic powder, and chopped onion. You throw in your marinara sauce. And you crack on top, two eggs. And this whole thing, the calories, 280 calories, 20 grams of protein and four grams of fiber. Lets look at charlenes fridge. I wanted to get rid of her leftovers. She had facauliflower and broccoli. Rotisserie chicken. I saw stock over here. A can of beans and stewed tomatoes. You take flee cups of any vegetable combination. Get rid of your leftovers. They can be fresh or frozen. And you boil it up. And four cups of recuduced sodi booth, two cups of rotisserie chicken and whatever seasoning. That looks amazing. Lets head over since charlene and ruben are doing the exercise, what have you got for them coming up week two . Week two is a little more difficult. We added one extra move for each day.

I like the shark book over there. Reporter for the last seven years, shes been the elementary, middle and high School Librarian. On tuesday, he ate through how many pears . Two pears. But he was still hungry. I start out here in the Elementary Library and checkbooks in and out. And help students find books they need. She loves the library. This is my favorite place. Reporter in addition to her daily task, twice a year, shelly hosts a book fair. The hope is that each child will bring books home to read with their families and keep them. Early on, shelly realized that financial hardships kept kids from buying books. They have just a few pennies and want to buy a book. My volunteers would buy books for the kids. Its heartbreaking. We keep digging in our own pockets to make it work for these kids. And we couldnt keep up with the demand. Reporter shelly reached out to neighborhoods in the community, and the support quickly came in. I made a Facebook Post that night. Within 20 minutes, i had a man handing me 100 bill. And its grown from there. Reporter the book fair is supported by the community. Shelly spends her free time fundraising, advocating for students and raising awareness about the kids needs. Shelly gets those who may not be interested in reading but gets them in interested in picking out books they would like to read, as well. This book is about a boy named billy and his horse named glaze. Theres a lot of books. You can explore more if you keep reading. Reporter news about the fair travels quickly through the small town. Neighbors encouraging other neighbors to pitch in. Theyre very proud of it. Its in the newspapers. And people talk about it at the churches. Reporter but shelly and her community have work to do. And like any determined educat r educator, she wont stop until every childs needs are met. We would like every kid to take books home. Okay, mrs. Starr, behind these doors is a great surprise.

All of this, just for you. They are so grateful. And we are so grateful, as well, because of your commitment to education and to the incredible students. I know for one thing, that the reading corner is very important to you in your library. We have filled it with rocking chairs and bean bags so all the kids can have special time with you in the nook. And superintendent greg is letting ynl this very surprise. This plaque will proudly be displayed in the mrs. Starrs story time room. So exciting. Surprises arent done yet.

A dvt in my leg. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. My doctor and i choose xarelto® xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Xarelto® is a latestgeneration blood thinner. Thats proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots from happening again. In clinical studies, almost 98 of patients on xarelto® did not experience another dvt or pe.

Targeting just one critical factor, interacting with less of your bodys natural bloodclotting function. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase risk of blood clots. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. It 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 youve had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding.

I feel like i can ask for advice. And i do feel like thats a surprise. I didnt know i would make new friends. A career is crazy. I dont know if i can juggle it all. I dont think i can. And jenna had said, you had gotten more opportunities after you had kids because you almost became part of this mom club. More than that, i think it was like, dont let work as important as it is, dictate how it is. Having the two precious girls is more important. It is my life. I want her to be happy.

And somebody will feel like theyre getting the short end of the stick. When it comes to my relationship with my spouse, my husband, theres times when he if i had a little nervous left, hes stepping on it. And other times, i see him with the kids and my heart is felting. I like to see henry as a dad. There is nothing sexier. To watch the girls just stare at him in such a awe, makes many e have a feeling towards him that was not the way it was before. Its refreshing to step back for a second and realize that im not just always crazy, busy and tired and exhausted from doing everything. Hes doing it, too. He deserves credit. You have to have the commitment. Some days, its the commitment. Im in it with you. Youre in it with me. And its not always pretty. Not always going to be love and sunsets. But theres great deep love.
