Provided him with powerful painkillers as nbc news learns police were called to the pop stars home at least twice last year. The reason listed as medical. And up in smoke. A top nfl prospect tumbles down the draft board after this controversial post appears on his social media account. Somehow somebody got my photos. So was he really hacked or was it a cost hi mistake of his own making . Today, friday, april 29th, 2016 announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Before we get into politics can we take a look outside . Have you seen the crowd out the . Exactly. We are going back to the 90s in the i love the 90s concert. Well throw it back big time. But first our top story. Violent protests outside a trump rally in california where nearly 20 people were arrested. This as trumps opponent ted cruz responds to the harsh words from john boehner. Well begin our coverage this morning with peter alexander. Good morning. Good morning, this was Donald TrumpsFirst Campaign rally in california and a huge crowd of antitrump demonstrators were there to greet him. It was an ugly night producing the worst fights since inside the rally back in march. This time fights striking out outside between trumps opponents and supporters. Last thursday hundreds of antitrump protestors in california spilling out into the streets, blocking traffic and attacking police cars. Knbc capturing thismp supporter bandaged and talking to medical personnel. Police arrived in riot gear. 20 people arrested. Donald trump cruising into the golden state with 172 delegates and the last stop on the road to the republican nomination. No state in america has suffered worse from open borders than the state of california. Its impact on jobs, wages, security, schools, hospitals, has been devastated. I love california. June 7th. Scores of protestors with many demonstrators spilling out into the streets blocking traffic and attacking police cars. For ted cruz the devil is in the details with former speaker of the house john boehner giving cruz hell. Lucifer in the flesh. I have never worked with a more miserable son of a [ bleep ] in my life. He allowed his inner trump to come out. When john boehner calls me lucifer, hes not directing that at me. Hes directing that at you. When he says that im the work guy hes ever worked with, hes never worked with me. Cruz and Carly Fiorina crossing the state. Now do or die for the duo. Now trumps team is feeling alive collecting new congressional endorsements and reading cruz his last rights. Last tuesday was the nail in the coffin. And with indiana likely to go down to the pusser trump is teaming up with a hoiser state hero. I tell you, he could play for me. Comparing him to president true man. With what he did with dropping the bomb and having the guts to drop the bomb in 1944 saved millions of america the same thing. Back at trump tower in new york the nypd responded to reports of an envelope containing white powder nailed to Trumps Campaign office. It was opened by a staff member overnight. Police determined that the powder was not a threat. Matt and savannah. Peter, thanks. Lets bring in chuck todd. Nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Theres no secret theres not a lot of love lost between john boehner and ted cruz but in a certain way does this help ted cruz . He makes this argument that its the establishment that doesnt like him . This could have helped ted cruz six months ago. This could have helped ted cruz if theres no such thing as donald trump. This hurts ted cruz now. Its why the stop Trump Movement couldnt get people to rally around ted cruz. There is 100 , nearly 100 good republican nominee but theres no consensus that somehow ted cruz would be a better alternative and what you hear john boehner say is essentially what you hear behind the scenes here in washington with a lot of republicans. As much as they fear trump, they think the alternative in cruz is worse. This is why cruz is stuck where hes at right now. What youre saying is the prospect for a United Republican Party in this general election season are extremely dim. Its very dim. If the choices are trump and cruz its not going to be a party thats going to be able to unite with itself and thats why when paul ryan took himself out and im convinced now, the stop Trump Movement totally lost all of its steam when paul ryan said theres no way. Dont expect me to be your savior at the convention. Dont expect me to be somehow encouraging people to put me on the ballot and i think thats what were thats what the Republican Party is staring at. One more point, matt, john boehner is not speaker of the house because of ted cruz. Dont forget that and john boehner hasnt forgotten that. Lets talk about indiana. Its supposed to be the alamo for the stop Trump Movement. Does it still hold that potential . It doesnt because at this point trump can lose indiana and still get to the magic number. Its a little harder but the good news for trump is if he wins indiana, wins it by a point, what does ted cruz do from here . What is his rational after this . Cruz put it all on the line. He has thrown it all out there. Trying this running mate game. Tried the alliance with kasich. If none of this works, where does he go . Thank you. Be sure to watch meet the press on sunday. The guest is ted cruz. Sentenced the american to 10 years in prison on espionage charges. His sentencing comes weeks after university of virginia student was sentenced to 15 year others of hard labor for allegedly trying to steal a propaganda poster from a hotel. Swrjoe biden is at the vatic this morning. He is leading the moon shot effort to cure cancer. Biden lost his oldest son bo to brain cancer. Well talk about a bizarre and frightening scene in baltimore where police shot a suspect that walked into a television station wearing an animal costume and surgical mask and what appeared to be a bomb strapped to his ches latest on this. What can you tell us . Good morning. A very calm Security Guard kept the suspect distracted while employees got out. He claimed he had a bomb and he s talking about a government conspiracy. Social media video shot by a fox station employee of Baltimore Police confronting a suspect that claimed he had a bomb. After refusing to surrender police opened fire. It all started when a man wearing an animal costume, surgical mask and what appeared to be explosives on his chest showed up at the tv station carrying a flash drive that he wanted the station to air. A man that identified him as edward breezy told our baltimore affiliate the suspect was his son alex. A station Security Guard kept him employees to evacuate. He said i dont want to hurt anyone. I dont want to hurt you. I just want my message heard. In the parking lot he had his car on fire. As he walked out of the station s. W. A. T. Team officers were waiting guns drawn. They ordered him on the ground but when he refused they opened fire. Police stayed back as a robot moved in to remove the suspects vest but it turns out the vest wasnt made of explosives. Those devices were actually chocolate can day bars wrapped in aluminum foil with wiring connecting each of them. There was also a small motherboard. Officers cautiously moved in. The suspect taking to a waiting armored vehicle. Photos on facebook give a glimpse into his life. His dad saying his son is not a threat and a recent break up is to blame. It looks like he a mental break down. He is also saying his son said a few weeks agatha he had had a revelation from god or from jesus that the world was going to come to some sort of a terrible event on june 3rd and he was trying to get the word out with the flash drive.

Theres a new twist in the investigation of the death of pop super star prince. Law enforcement looking into what role a doctor or doctors may have played in a possible drug overdose. Stephanie gosk is in minnesota with the hi, stephanie. Good morning. With no official cause of death details into the investigation of princes final days continue to leak out. The Associated Press is reporting that investigators are looking into whether a doctor prescribed drugs for him that lead to an overdose and whether a doctor was on board that plane that made an Emergency Landing the day pfr hbefore his death. Meanwhile the family had the first meeting about the estate and it could get complicated. No will, no spouse, and no children. Princes estate worth as much as 300 million will be split among his surviving siblings. They all met for the first time in thursday in indianapolis including his half brother that spoke with nbc news. How was it to see everybody . Pretty good. Made me feel better. Jacksons lawyer admitted an estate as large and complicated as princes divided. Everything was everywhere. I have a sense that he intended it this way so he could share with all of his siblings. Is this going to be tough . Well not from our end. Jackson says it has been years since he was in contact with his brother. He saw paisley park for the first time this week. I knew he built it. He built it with his own hands. So i just wanted to see it. As the family negotiates, the Sheriffs Office worries the intense public scrutiny could jeopardize the investigation. A judge granted a request to seal a search warrant that police filed the day prince died but the Sheriffs Department did release a list of calls for service at paisley park. Police were requested for suspicious activity, alarms and fires. Last year in august and then in september the reason was listed as medical with no further details. She was lucky enough to catch prince in atlanta for his final performance. As he left the stage, the backdrop behind him was a younger photo of himself and he turned around and he saluted that photo to his younger selfand as he left he put his fist in the air and it was very triumphant.
