>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb. from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning! welcome to "today." so happy that you're joining us on a thursday morning. wow, the college football world is kind of rocking -- >> oh, nick saban retiring, this is the day alabama fans hoped would never, ever come. after 17 years with alabama, seven college national titles, six with the tide, he is retiring. so we'll have a little bit more on that legacy. incredible career a little bit later. >> 70 years old. we're once again monitoring severe weather, another coast-to-coast storm is on the move this morning. it means more snow, more wind, more rain with parts of the northeast still reeling from that pair of storms that caused major flooding. al is on top of it all. but our top story, the countdown to iowa. the caucuses now four days away, and last night, nikki haley and ron desantis squared off in a debate shortly after chris christie announced that he was

suspending his campaign. as for donald trump, he appeared at his own town hall in iowa and is now returning to new york city for today's closing arguments at his civil fraud trial. and the president's son, hunter biden, is also set to appear in court today on federal tax charges. we have a lot to get to, it's a busy thursday. we've got it all covered. we'll start with nbc's garrett haake right there in des moines where the debate was. hey, garrett, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning. tonight was the best last chance to introduce themselves ahead of the country, iowa starting this process in earnest on monday night. but they were overshadowed at least in part by chris christie dropping out of the race and comment by donald trump what he would like to see on his ticket. overnight, a fiery face-off in frozen iowa, with the state's republican caucuses now just four days away. >> you're so desperate. you're just so desperate. >> reporter: nikki haley and ron desantis debating one on one in

what's likely a race for second place. behind the dominant front-runner here, donald trump. haley and desantis launching repeated attacks on each other's records and honesty. >> every time he lies, drake university, don't turn this into a drinking game because you will be overserved by the end of the night. >> we don't need another mealy-mouthed politician who just tells you what she thinks you want to hear just to try to get your vote. >> reporter: haley mocking desantis for his complain slide from top trump rival as her momentum has grown in polls. >> if you can't manage a campaign, how are you going to manage a country. >> reporter: desantis labeling her as a globalist. >> you can take the ambassador out of the united nations but you can't take the united nations out of the ambassador. >> reporter: despite trailing trump in iowa and nationally, both candidates barely criticizing him. >> i agree with a lot of his policies, but his way is not my way. >> he also promised record deportations.

donald trump deported fewer people than barack obama did when he was president. >> reporter: earlier wednesday the gop's field most consistent critic of the president, chris christie suspended his campaign and taking shots at the front-runner. >> anyone who is unwilling to say that he is unfit to be president of the united states is unfit themselves to be president of the united states. >> reporter: christie was also caught on a hot mic discussing the race back stage and making this comment presumably about haley. >> she's going to get smoked. you and i both know it. she's not up to this. >> reporter: skipping the debate in favor of a fox news town hall, donald trump seizing on that comment. >> i happen to believe that chris christie is right. that's one of the few things he's been right about actually. >> reporter: now, at that trump town hall, the former president made some news, telling the moderators that he already had decided on who he would like his vice president to be if he has the opportunity to make another pick. afterwards, the campaign was

quick to clarify that no final decision has been made and that trump would announce that decision if and when it's made. but he certainly raised a lot of eyebrows for talking about a potential vp in january before anybody has even voted. the other big story out of this obviously is chris christie dropping out. he had only run his campaign in new hampshire and polling there shows that a lot of his support could go to nikki haley. she would badly need it there. it's the state in which she is most competitive with donald trump. picking up christie's support in this final stretch could help her close the gap there. but obviously those hot mic comments from christie, suggesting she's not up to the task, not the kind of parting gift that helps in new hampshire. >> all right, garrett haake for us there in des moines. thank you. after that late height in iowa, donald trump will return to new york this morning for closing arguments at his civil fraud trial. he will not be delivering part of the closing arguments, however, after his request was denied by the judge. let's turn to nbc senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. laura, good morning. >> hi.

>> a defendant giving his own closing argument is pretty darn unusual. >> unheard of. >> but in this case, the judge entertained it. was open to it for a moment. explain what happened here. >> one of the dynamics in this trial that has been so unusual and fascinating to watch is what has gone on between the former president and the judge because it's a bench trial. the judge is the one who is deciding his financial future. but now his lawyer is in embroiled in this whole bizarre email exchange with the actual judge about whether the former president could do his own closing argument, even though he has competent counsel and the judge's only requirement was that he stay on topic and not give any disparaging remarks. he was not willing to do that so the judge said he is not allowed to give his own closing argument. he can go in the hall way and talk as he has done throughout this trial but he is not allowed to do his own closing argument. >> pretty snippy exchange between the lawyer and the judge, which is judge released people can read and judge for themselves. let's talk about what's at stake at this trial. as mentioned, it's a bench trial. the judge is deciding.

there is no jury here. and already the key issue was fraud committed has been decided and the judge said, yes. now it's just a question of what's the penalty? >> this entire ordeal that we have seen for the last few months is all about money and about control. the attorney general wants $370 million now in a penalty. she's bumped that number up basically seeing how this trial has gone. she was asking for 250. it's now 370. she also wants him to basically be run out of the state of new york. out of doing business all realize deals, giving up control of his name sake company and remember, also, his two sons are defendants here. so they could also face liability potentially. the judge has said he expects to rule in a written decision in the next couple weeks. >> all right, laura, thank you very much. let's move to another courtroom that will be closely watched today. the president's son, hunter biden, scheduled to be arraigned in los angeles on federal tax charges after he made a surprise appearance on capitol hill yesterday. nbc's ryan nobles joins us now from the courthouse in l.a. ryan, what are we expecting

today? >> reporter: hey, hoda. good morning. this is just expected to be a routine arraignment hearing where hunter biden will answer nine tax-related charges, three of which are felonies. biden is accused of negligenting to pay more than $1 million in taxes and filing false returns. instead, prosecutors say he spent money on things like drugs, escorts and luxury hotels. now, if convicted, biden could face up to 17 years in prison. his legal team says that biden has since paid those debts back targeted because his last name is biden. and meanwhile, ahead of today's court hearing, hunter biden made an unexpected appearance in congress yesterday, leading to some dramatic and tense moments. came as two congressional committees voted to recommend that the full household hunter biden in contempt of congress for violating a subpoena. now house republicans wanted biden to appear for a closed door deposition about these allegations that president bi

n benefitted and involved in his son's business dealings. hunter biden was willing to testify publicly but not behind closed doors arguing that republicans would selectively leak what he said. now in this surprise appearance, he sat in the front row, that led to shouting match and a chaotic moment with republicans accusing him of taunting them. now, as he left, biden told me that if they had called him to testify yesterday, that he would have been prepared to do so but he wanted to do so publicly. if the contempt measure passes the house, goes to the justice department to decide whether or not to prosecute the president's son. hoda? >> ryan nobles for us in l.a. thank you. also this morning, we're hearing from the ceo of boeing s the ceo promising to find out where quality control broke down the mta and faa are investigating. tom, good morning. >> reporter: that's right. united and alaska airlines are

the only airlines that fly the in the wake of that9 they're waiting for inspection procedures from boeing before they start this process to inspect. five to eight hours. so for now, all max 9s remain grounded alaska says at least through saturday, while boeing, very much right now in damage control. >> reporter: once again, boeing is fighting for its reputation six days after the side of an alaska airlines side blew out during an emergency landing. ceo david calhoun told employees airline competence in boeing is on the line. >> moments like this shake them to the bone. just loike it shook me. >> reporter: in a cnbc exclusive calhoun says he takes this accident very personally. >> i saw the picture everybody saw the opening. but what i really saw was the empty seat and i had spent a week with my kids and grand kids. so, enough said. >> reporter: out of pure luck,

no one was seated next to the hole when it opened up it's been five years since 346 people died in two max 8 crashes overseas the max was then grounded for two years. boeing forced to pay $2.5 billion in fines and settlements. but boeing has struggled with quality control. this max 9 was brand new, delivered in november. yet with a potentially fatal flaw investigators believe the door plug that blew out wasn't properly secured the ntsb says four critical bolts have not been found. it's not clear if the bolts were ever attached. what alaska and united airlines technicians examined other max 9s, they found loose bolts around those door plugs too. the fuselage for the max is made by spirit aerosystems, then delivered to boeing for final assembly >> we're not going to point fingers there because, yes, it escaped their fak toirks but then it escaped ours, too. >> reporter: spirit also struggled with quality control

problems but says as a company we remain focussed on the quality of each aircraft structure that leaves our facilities secretary of transportation pete buttigieg -- >> are you concerned about the quality of product that boeing is turning out and should the american public be concerned >> what i'll say is that every plane that they deliver to an airline, every plane that goes into the skies needs to be 100% safe and they need to be able to demonstrate that >> tom, we talked about those warning lights that went off on that very same alaska airlines plane. is there any determination on whether that was connected to the part that blew off >> right now the ntsb doesn't think so they think that those were not related to the actual decompression explosion. while the primary sensor gave a warning, the secondary system showed no problem at all still, this is going to be part of the investigation, but right now they don't think they were linked they think it's a coincidence. >> thank you, tom. 7:14 weather continues to be a big story.

craig joins the stable. >> good morning. good morning to you as well. millions are cleaning up, they're recovering in some kalss rebuilding after that deadly winter storm that brought snow, tornadoes and torrential rain across much of the country just as a new threat of severe weather moves in mr. roker is standing by with that all important forecast. but first nbc's emilie ikeda joins us from little falls, new jersey >> reporter: still cleaning up from the last brutal blast this morning water rescue teams are at the ready as flood waters continue to spill into communities. you can see the water ence rain past month this morning a second blast of brutal weather is barrelling cross the u.s. just as millions are cleaning up from another sprawling winter storm this

dozen reported tornados to the south. residents there now picking up what's left of levelled homes. nationwide there's no relief in sight for storm weary communities bracing for another blast of winter. >> we got flooded i think six weeks ago, right we just two days ago we just finished all the work and now we're going to go through the same thing again >> reporter: so you can make out where the passaic river is and how it's spilling into the community behind me. almost turns out to look like a lake because of just how the flood waters are encroaching on homes in this area the passaic river is still rising and expected to remain in flood stage at least through tomorrow that means the region could be battered with even more rain ne. emilie, thank you. >> al's tracking what was here, what's coming here what does it look like >> well, it's not good and good m before all of this flood water even recedes, craig? >> thank you. al is tracking what was here what's coming here what does it look like >> it's not good good morning, everybody. here we go we're talking about 47 million

short-term boost. more than 100 licenses would be dedicated to coastal areas of dillon beach and stinson beach, popular with the tourists, rather than areas where locals live. 79% of workers live outside the county. we have a cold start but it will be a sunny day. our temperatures are reaching into the mid-50s this afternoon. we are back down into the 30s tonight and more sunshine tomorrow with rain in the saturday forecast. it looks like it could be windy as well. rain continues throughout the day, and drying out for the rest of the weekend. the full forecast on nbcbayarea.com.

diana nyad, back in 2013, she swam 110 miles from cuba to florida. you remember this, in jellyfish and shark-infested waters. she made that remarkable journey after four failed attempts at the age of 64. so, in the film with annette bening as the lead role, nyad sets out to prove her determination and sheer will, but first she has to convince her coach, played by jody foster let's take a look. >> i need to get myself functioning at the highest level. you're going to be my coach. >> that's why you wanted to play ping-pong. you never want to play ping-pong. >> absolutely not.eant you shou for speed dating or get a therapist. not come out of a 30-year retirement for some dangerous, absurd fantasy. >> i am doing it. i'm not done. i have more in me and so do you. come on, don't you want to be fully engaged, fully awake, your

soul ignited by >> bonnie, you said i needed to it would be an amazing ride. >> i'm so in that's all you need is that one clip annette, it is so good to see you. >> thank you >> i know people don't like to read reviews, but before i dive into this movie which i am so excited about and into, i have to read a couple of them "people" magazine says, bening does not hold back, this is her boldest performance ever, almost certain to get her an oscar nomination collider says, bening is the best she's ever been as nyad, embracing the athlete's stubbornness and strong will to a t. and the a.p. says when diana hits the ocean, she turns into a ferocious forward-moving force won't let anything, jelly fish stings stop her in her quest just keeps swimming. she would leave dory in the dust so this -- taking on this role was not for the faint of heart i mean, did you immediately say yes to it? >> i actually did, because i read it and was just so taken with diana and her journey

i was moved. that got me, just in my gut. and i actually didn't really think it through so maybe that's good, you know but i just -- i knew i had to play it. i knew this was an opportunity that like no other and it really proved to be that. but that's something that i think it's good for us, right? a big challenge. something new. something completely took me into a world that i would never have imagined doing, playing a marathon swimmer i never thought about it >> well, to think about it, and this is not something that was shot in a way that wasn't arduous. it wasn't beauty shots and, why don't you get in and swim a little bit, annette, for the part you trained with an olympic coach. you had to get in shape. you had to be in a bathing suit the whole time this is like, this is quite some difficult stuff. >> well, i knew it was a chance to maybe strip away some layers and dive into something, no pun intended, that was brand-new for me

and the physical challenge was a gift >> i was quite nervous, as i started, and i thought, how can i pull this off? i'm 60 -- whatever i was when i started, 62. i'm 65 now how can i make this work but i had a great coach, rada owen, who was an olympic swimmer, and she teaches kids, too, so maybe that's good. but she was just that person, an olympic athlete herself, she knows what it takes. and she also knows the mind-set. and you know, that was what kills me about diana, is that she says, look, i tried to do this swim when i was in my 20s and i failed >> okay. >> so when she reaches 60, she's at a turning point, she's been a broadcaster, she's written books, she's a really erudite, interesting, worldly person. and she says, i'm going to -- i have to do this now. and she said - and her partner, bonnie, who jody plays, you're insane,

you're 60, you couldn't do it when you were that, how can you do it no and she says, yeah, but i have this this is what i didn't have then. the brain, the life experience, the chutzpah, and the mental ability to really pull this off. >> i feel like life's broken down in like three chunks. the first part of your life is about learning, the second part is often about earning, and the third part is really about wisdom about all the things -- >> that's very smart >> -- that diana nyad is and i was wondering about you. you are in this cool, awesome phase of your career you're choosing things you like, but you keep taking risks. it's not like you're saying, you know what, let me do that, how much work is that going to be?w, i'll take care of that -- you're stepping outside of your comfort zone, still. >> well, i see that in a lot of people maybe it's my girlfriends or people that i know, or maybe just in reading and looking at the world. sometimes there's some people, i think there's a lot of people, you want a new challenge you might be in your 60s or even

older, i mean, my mom is 94, she still gets down and reads and she's got the crossword puzzle going. you know, you need something new. and a physical challenge was particularly -- yeah, whatever i mean, i thought -- i underestimated, quite frankly, what it was going to mean. but then once i got over that, you know, and i got into it, okay, you know, just do it just train, believe you can do it, all that stuff that diana, you know, talks about. >> well, i just want to say, congratulations. >> thank you >> you're an inspiration it made me feel strong watching you do this, so i want to say "thank you." and also, please check out this movie. "nyad" now streaming on netflix and congrats on all the great reviews. that's pretty excellent, too savannah, over to you. we are making soup this morning. dawn russell is here this is ratatouille. i don't know if i'm going to like this. we're close enough i can tell you that >> you absolutely can.

i have three, so you can try >> nutritious, great for winter. i think i'm going to like it >> it's all about problem solving for your family.

we're back at 8:44 with today food 'tis the season for comforting soups and stews, and they can also be incredibly nutritious. >> here with some easy, healthy recipes your entire >> this is "today" on nbc. started eight grains, the company, to get us get greens, to today, problem-solving for our kids to ge the little boosters that i'll show you along the way >> what are we hiding in this first one. you can blend up anything and the kids don't even know

>> this is zucchini. and i'm going to show you, zucchini is pretty amazing so first tip i want us parents to know, keep the skin 75% of the nutrients is in the skin of the zucchini, as well as onion, salmon. now, also, for us adults, zucchini is very much a water-based vegetable. so it's great for weight management, because it fills you up quite quickly it's a heavy one so we have in here, we are sauteing onion, potatoes, one of the tips for kids liking this, use vegetable broth. it's a little bit sweeter. don't do low-salt. we're giving them zucchini, that's enough healthy. >> pick and choose your battles. >> correct. >> exactly >> so vegetable broth and no salt will give it the flavor put the zucchini in the broth, which has the onion, the potatoes, and you let it simmer for 20 minutes the great thing is, you don't have to stick around, you can go -- just let it simmer

>> what's the powder are you putting tla in that in there? >> this is for us adults kids can have it too, age 4 and over i think you have one child younger than 4 this is omega oil. very good for us women, for our skin, our hair, our digestion. this is how we sneak it. >> is it a fish oil? >> exactly it's like i always say - >> does make things taste fishy? >> no, you're burying. >> that was the whole goal >> okay! >> just eat the soup, you don't know what's in there it's all sorts of good stuff >> >> savannah, don't ask questions. >> the omega is great. like oiling your body, oiling your car you snuck it in. then you put all of this in the blender. now, the one other tip i want to give you, this is the most requested soup that my two boys ask for. >> very lemony >> lemon

>> did you put lemon in it >> no. >> the one tip i want to give, here we have probiotic. lemony >> no. i taste the omega oil a little bit. >> the one tip i want to give, it's very fun to do cups with this one you're not getting the noodles or anything at the bottom. i feel like with kids, soup? that boring routine. we cheers. we drink >> maybe some crouton ifs you don't mind the carbs >> ratatouille now here we have - i could nerd out on every ingredient, because it's really important to me what we are consuming, but i'll take one second and focus on bell peppers. yellow and red bell peppers are in plant form the longest. that's why they're the brighter color of red and yellow than the green, that is it also makes them sweeter so go for yellow or red. red, i want us all to have red pepper, it has 11 times the beta keratin of a green pepper. which is an amazing cancer fighting ingredient. >> wow, green pepper is getting murdered

>> just eat your red peppers all the time >> so, we have this all in we have onions, we have zucchini, we have the whole thing. i would dice this a little bit more in my home. your chef is amazing she kind of cut the zucchini whole. you move it around and let it all saute. you can either use it as your main dish like so, i know it doesn't look very good, because it's been sitting for a while, or what you can do is you can put it on top of your fish for children that are -- >> oh! >> children that are picky eaters, my 9-year-old is super picky, he doesn't even know he's eating fish, because east eating the ratatouille. also, for us parents, you haveng fish because he's ea quinoa, lentils, sneak those in. they don't know. they think they're eating something else >> how's the ratatouille >> really great. >> this next soup is my favorite >> wow, that's good. because who needs another chicken noodle soup recipe >> we do >> i waited -- i was like, should i should i

>> always! >> so what i did was coconut oil -- everything is obsessed with coconut water, coconut milk there's quite a bit of calories in coconut milk, so put coconut oil in as the base >> we only have 30 seconds >> that's the best by far. >> you can sneak other vegetables in it, peas, chicken, also carrots if you know when they're on the plate -- if you have a carrot section, no one's going to eat it >> that's special. dawn, thank you so much. you can find these recipes and a lot more on our website, today.com/food >> it's so lemony. >> it is lemony! you know what --
