[ applause ] >> ay ay ay. look at this. [ applause ] >> you think you're this terrific person. you think you're this, you think you're that, ba ba ba ba. trump also took part in plenty of skits. in one of them he played the role of president donald trump at a meeting inside the white house. >> secretary, how is the situation in russia? >> never better. after your face-to-face meeting, putin has withdrawn from ukraine. and believe me, he does not want to be called a loser again. he cried for hours. >> well, i'm sorry, i just had to do that, keep up the good work, amarosa, you're doing fantastic. >> trump did not appear in the sketch you see right here but he did live tweet it if you will. the tweets were filled with amusing insults of the cast members and popped up on the screen during the skit. we'll stick with politics, "meet the press" coming up at 10:30 and chuck today is live with a preview. >> good morning, gus, big day. >> in all seriousness, the comedy shows can be big. i think of richard nixon when he went, sock it to me, and people weren't so keen on him. was this an event where trump was recruiting people? >> i don't know. what -- what nixon did was a cameo. what hillary clinton did a couple weeks ago was a cameo. what bill clinton did on arsenio hall which kicked off this new-found way to spend all the time on late night was a cameo. so i don't know. look, for donald trump, i was always thought this was high risk because there has been these questions that some folks have had, how serious is he about running for president? and he is, i think, made a case that he's very serious over the last three months. he's put out real plans, this and that. and then does this undo that? does this undo this, and some voters think, whoa, yes, we know he's aty reality show guy and does this go too far? i don't know. >> also making news is ben carson who caught flak for embellishing his relationship with west point. where does that stand? >> well, look, we have new comments from ben carson that leadoff the show in a few minutes. chris jansing, my colleague, caught up with him right before he was getting on an airplane last night to puerto rico. and he's pretty defiant about all this. i think he believes he's being vetted for so than any other candidate. he thinks going back 30, 40 years, is it fair? but i'll tell you this, guys, i think this is a very precarious time for his campaign. his campaign is built on his life story. it's been built on the idea that he is sort of above our approach, the most honest and trustworthy candidate in this race. highest favorability ratings, all those things. if his personal story unravels, i think his whole candidacy unravels. away with it because we are believing politicians xanl exaggerate. ben carson is not another politician. >> if i went home and saw a couple of these debates, what should i be looking for in particular this week? >> look, i think this is desperation time for the single-digit candidates. think about the time where we are. there's only one more debate and thanksgiving is coming up. if you don't make a move now and you're in single digits, when are you going to make a move? i'm looking at you jeb bush, chris christie, you name it. >> and the pressure is on with a busy day. we appreciate the preview. >> you got it. >> stick around for "meet the press" with chuck todd right after "today in new york." and now the latest into the passenger plane that crashed in egypt's sinai peninsula. a team of russian inspectors are headed to egypt to examine security at the airports there. a top official said a noise is heard in the cockpit in the last second audio of the voice but he says it is still not clear whether that noise came from a bomb or from something else. one second later the plane broke up in midair killing all 224 people on board. investigators are going to test the wreckage to see if they can find any evidence of a bomb blast. the number one most important thing is testing the residue of this airliner to try to see whether there's any kind of traces of explosives. whether or not they're sitting on the metal. whether or not there's evidence of shrapnel. >> isis claimed it brought the plane down shortly after taking off from sharm el-sheikh but the claim has not been substantiated. two people died when their truck plunged into the charles river and crashed through a guardrail plunging into the water. when emergency crews arrived, the truck was submerged and russ cue rescuers got them out of the truck but they were pronounced dead at the hospital. and ethanol has spilled into the mississippi river after a train derailment in wisconsin. a voluntary evacuation has been lifted and railroad officials maintain there's no danger to the public. an amazing rescue is caught on camera in australia. video shows two men perched on the tiny cliff ledge steps away from a steep 164-foot drop into the ocean. one of the men was injured after falling from the stop of wedding cake rock near sydney. a friend who tried to help him got stuck, too. so rescuers had to repel down to bring the two men to safety. wow. coming up on "today in new york," the light in

been tracking the story for more than a year and learned some judges are pushing back blocking some they don't find the cases credible. >> reporter: a luxury trip to disney. it's not how most undocumented immigrants cross the u.s. border, but some family court insiders are noticing what might be a new theme involving this theme park. some teenagers are injuring the u.s. on school trips to disney paid for by their families. the very same families they say are abusing them. >> clearly, a family that's abusing their son is not paying for them to go to disney world. >> reporter: that's the chairman of the house judiciary committee, bob goodlat, responding to the latest discovery. a handful of recent cases where a teenager slips away from a disney tour and hops on a bus to richland hill. meets an adult to become his guardian, then heads to queens family court asking for a in a vent ruling obtained by the i-team, judge nicolette blocked this teen's claim that he came here on an all-expense paid trip from his father but he was beaten and couldn't return to india. the judge grew suspicious after receiving another case curiously and remarkably similar filed by another punjabi man with the same lawyer. in her ruling she called the similarities disturbing. the judge also questions by affidavits from two different people intended to corroborate on a deep story contained the same exact spelling errors and draw grammatical mistakes. like how his father is a victim of habitual drinking. the similar wording was just a mistake by the translator adding, quote, if this were fraud, wouldn't one be more the lawyer also said many victims of abuse unfortunately suffer similar circumstances and that's why their stories appear so similar in court. >> when so many people come in with this rare occurrence all at once in the same court at the same time, they should ask some more questions than they have been asking. >> reporter: this year the u.s. department of homeland security opened a criminal investigation after the i-team exposed a surge of cases from india. judges expressed frustration they were suddenly swamped with stories of abuse they had no way to verify. >> it's a one-sided proceeding and as a result it becomes pretty much taking what is said at face value. >> reporter: the feds want to know whether there's an organized racket in which the punjabi families are paying smugglers to bring their sons across the border and hooking them up to guardians in richmond hill for a path to citizenship. regarding the situation in queens -- homeland security jay johnson has declined to talk about it at this time. his agency spokesman issuing a statement this week saying the criminal investigation is ongoing and it will be inappropriate to disclose any further information. meanwhile, the new york state court system this month convened a new immigration counsel to add advise judges on how to handle the sticky issues. >> one among many will be dealing with the issues that came up in the i-team investigation. >> reporter: judge pock rejected the cut for shortcut calling his testimony credible and noting he was privileged enough to travel on a luxury execution paid by his family that also included stops at universal studios and the nasa space center. his lawyer tells us he'll reapply. here in queens family court, still wide open with hundreds of these similar special immigration requests on the calendar. and in most cases, the judge is saying they are without much power to verify them. even though they may suspect the tales of abuse and maltreatment seem worthy of a disney movie. melissa russo for "today in new york." >> the majority of the people in the queens cases are not using luxury between tours across the border according to sources, but enough are doing this to notice. advocates for immigrants say it's important to preserve the special sit den citizenship to pathways here. i'm only in my 60's. i've got a nice long life
