>> let's talk weather though, guys meantime, another frigid monday for millions we have a look at stratton, vermont. the temperature there 5 degrees. but relief is on the way. a major turnaround in temperatures expected this week. of course, mr. roker's got the full forecast coming up in just a bit. all right. let's start politics, though major shake up in the republican race ron desantis suspended his campaign yesterday and endorsed donald trump. >> this comes with one day to go until the new hampshire primary, which is now a two-person race between trump and nikki haley. and the latest poll shows the former president leading haley by nearly 20 points. >> we have complete coverage let's start with nbc's garrett haake, who is in manchester for us. hi, garrett, good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning, and shake-up is right less than a week after finishing second in iowa, ron desantis is out of this race it's a major jolt to a campaign that's now down to just two candidates and could be all but decided torment night here in new hampshire. >> i'd like to take time to congratulate ron desantis.

>> reporter: with another challenger in his rearview mirror, donald trump welcoming ron desantis. the endorsement of his former rival. >> he was very gracious and he endorsed me, so i appreciate it. i appreciate that. and i also look forward to working with ron. >> reporter: the kind words from trump, a sharp break from what has been a bitter battle between the two gop candidates >> so ron desanctimonious, he was very upset >> reporter: less than a week after finishing a distanned second in iowa, he suspended his cam pan in a pre-taped video message. throwing his support behind mr. trump. >> trump is superior to the current incumbent, joe biden that is clear. i signed a pledge to support the republican nominee, and i will honor that pledge. >> reporter: desantis' departure from the race so sudden, some supporters had already arrived at a campaign event he had scheduled hours later. >> i would like to have seen him stay in to give the american

electorate some choice. >> reporter: for republicans that choice no trump or haley, who welcomed the news of the shrinking field overnight. >> it's now one fella and one lady left. >> reporter: haley also sharpening her attacks on trump, highlighting his age after trump seemed to repeatedly confuse her with nancy pelosi when discussing the capitol riots. >> nikki haley is in charge of security we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, national guard, whatever they wanted >> reporter: haley weighing in >> they're saying he got confused when you are dealing with the mentally fit to do this. >> reporter: she's counting on a strong showing here after a disappointing third place finish pressures of a presidency, we can't have someone else that we question whether they're mentally fit to do this. >> reporter: she's counting on a strong showing here after a disappointing third place finish in iowa. but two new polls released thi weekend showed haley trailing trump by double digits here with only one day left to change minds. >> don't complain about what happens in a general election if you don't vote in this primary

on tuesday. >> reporter: the other challenge for nikki haley is how fast the republican party appears to be consolidating around donald trump. in just the last week, he's gotten the endorsements of not just desantis but vivek ramaswamy and tim scott over the weekend. it is another hurdle haley will have to clear and fast to pull off that win in new hampshire. savannah >> garrett, thank you. with the republican nomination a two-person race, donald trump leading in the polls, could tomorrow's primary mark the beginning of the end in the republican primary hallie jackson also in manchester for us. so hallie, nikki haley gets the two-person race, she's been longing for. is it too late and even if she somehow pulls off the upset in new hampshire, then what? >> reporter: well then you go to nevada, then you go to south carolina, listen, it's not over until it's over, savannah but you're asking the critical question here, because, yes, nikki haley finally has what she wants, thi one-on-one matchup what is she going to do with it?

how is she going to make a showing here in new hampshire? her campaign said all along they're playing the momentum card here, right if she picks up some steam, she can show she can be a viable contender to former president trump. if she doesn't do well, what happens next does she go to her home state? which tends to lean more conservative in the republican electorate in new hampshire, remember it's independents that are the critical voting bloc here. they can vote in a republican primary, they are the biggest voting bloc in new hampshire, and that is in many ways a natural constituency for nikki haley people that are former chris cristie backers that are we can't lose sight of the big picture here, savannah, he has shifting over to haley but if she doesn't have the upset here, it is a question mark on where her campaign goes. that said, for donald trump, you can't lose sight of the big picture here he has dominated for months in this race overall. he is ahead of the polling in this state and many states to come he has demonstrates hi strength an has demonstrates hi strength and his consistency here. >> we are seeing double digit leads in new hampshire

primaries. in south carolina, while it's her home state, tim scott from south carolina just endorsed trump. it is unclear what that path will be even if she pulls off the big win tomorrow. let's talk about ron desantis because he got out on the eve of the new hampshire primary. what do you think is in his mind? is he thinking about a presidential run in four years or thinking maybe i will be part of the trump cabinet? what do you see here? >> reporter: i think the based on the reporting i've done is the 2028 piece of it. i know we're not even through 2024 yet. don't shoot the messenger. but i will tell you that is a conversation happening with those close to ron desantis, about a run four years from now. he himself eluded to this on the campaign trail saying in south carolina right before he dropped out that voters would come up to him and say things like, hey, i'm getting mr. trump this time. i'll get you for the next election. that seems to be part of the calculation here, that he can get out of this race after a distant second place showing, but at least it wasn't third.

and then perhaps come back in four years and show that he is somebody who can win a critically important state like florida, as it relates to the electoral makeup there and still be kind of a player in the republican field. keep in mind, as to when desantis started to slip in polling, savannah. it was right as donald trump faced his first indictment there at the end of march. desantis hadn't officially announced his presidential run, but everybody saw the writing on the wall. he seemed to be, potentially, the strongest competitor for donald trump until the court battles started coming into play. people around donald trump believe that is something that helps propel him with voters. eric trump told me that. he thinks the looming indictments over the former president help him in his campaign. that is when we saw the needle start to move and we haven't seen it move back since. >> that's why we see donald trump so often volunteering to be in those courtrooms. that's effective for him, it seems. hallie, thank you. hallie will be back tomorrow morning and kristen welker and

steve kornacki. the gang is all here as the very latest polls unfold in new hampshire, voting underway tomorrow. all right. meantime, there is encouraging weather news to start off the week. after a brutal stretch of cold, snow, freezing rain for much of the country, a major thaw finally on the way, so that's the good news, but it could usher in other news. with a new set of weather concerns. al is ready for your forecast. but let's start with jesse kirsch is in detroit with a bunch of happy lions fans, i'm sure. hey, jesse. >> reporter: it's about 19 degrees out here, feels like roughly 6 when you factor in the windchill and that might sound cold but it's actually a warm-up compared to where we were over the weekend. and detroit is not alone. on the heels of this wide-reaching, dangerous cold, many of us this week could start to see something of a thaw-out. after the brutal arctic blast that's been punishing the country with bone-chilling cold, this morning for millions, a much needed warm-up could soon

be on the way. for days, much of the country has been stuck with temperatures well below average, freezing everything from roads to noodles. but things could begin turning around starting today. by mid-week, new york city could hit 43 degrees. atlanta 64. the about-face comes after days of record-setting dangerous cold from coast to coast with at least 72 weather-related deaths reported nationwide since january 12th. meanwhile, this warming shelter in carolina, has helped dozens in recent days. >> seven years now. and every year it just gets worse and worse. yesterday we had 85 people. today is 115. >> reporter: the temperature drops impacting south florida where iguanas have been known to become immobile in the cold, even falls from the trees. the cold weather did not stop

the playoffs this weekend. near buffalo, fans dig out the big stadium before the game. >> we're willing to help, whatever it takes for our team. >> reporter: back here in motor city, we still have snow on the ground. the streets are looking pretty clear. by the end of the workweek, we could see temperatures in the 40s. hoda? >> all right. jesse kirsch for us there in detroit. jesse, thanks. >> all right. mr. roker, what you got? >> good news is, look at these temperatures right now. 24 hours ago, it was 28 degrees -- 18 degrees colder in st. louis. you are at 31 right now. louisville has warmed up 16 degrees from 24 hours ago. chicago 24-degree temperature rise in the last 24 hours. for today, you will see 34 degrees. new york 37. that's a little on the chilly side. wichita still below average. des moines, michigan all above average. and then tomorrow those temperatures all warm up. new york city, montgomery, alabama, houston, texas, all above average. that ridge of high pressure, i should say the jet stream moves up to the north. look at these temperatures over

the next several days. friday 57 degrees here in new york city. let me hear that. yeah, that's what i'm talking about. 53 in a cincinnati. 71 in thursday in atlanta. 18 degrees above average on friday in new york city. buffalo 15 degrees above average. cincinnati 14. so temperatures are warming up. the bad news is we got a big storm system that's going to bring a real icy mix and mess. we'll talk about that in the next 30 minutes, but right now back to you guys. >> thank you craig joins us with another big story we're following, right >> good morning to you as well there is new potential trouble for boeing this morning in the wake of that mid-air blow-out that's grounded the max 9. the faa is now telling airlines to inspect a second boeing plane. nbc's erin mclaughlin here with the details on this one. erin, tell us about the second plane, what do we know >> well, craig, that's right good morning overnight, the faa issues a safety alert recommending visual

inspections of mid-exit door plugs on boeing 737 900 er planes because they have the same door design as the max 9 that's now grounded. after the door panel blew off mid-flight nearly three weeks ago. to be clear, this is a separate boeing model and the recommendation is to check whether the door plugs are secured as soon as possible. there were no specific incidents or problems that triggered this move with the faa saying it has an added layer of safety as part of their investigation into the max 9 while it impacts 380 planes, disruptions to air travel are not expected in a statement boeing says it supports the faa and our customers in this action >> let's go back to the max 9. where does the investigation stand into that particular plane? >> well, 171 planes are currently grounded as the faa continues its investigation and evaluates data from 40

inspections of the max 9 aircraft this overnight alert comes after airline inspections of the max 9 planes had some door plugs with these bolts, prompting concern could be a wider issue meanwhile, the max 9 fleet will remain grounded until the agency is satisfied they are safe to return to service, which is impacting air travel and leading to more than 300 flights being canceled there. >> thank you all right, guys. should we switch gears let's talk football. the excitement on the road to the super bowl four teams left. they remain in the hunt for the lombardi trophy. after a really thrilling weekend of playoff action. this time next week, we will be talking about the matchup for super bowl lviii i sake lee hartung on the sidelines at the detroit game. she was right there. she flew back, she made it back to our studio. >> good morning, guys. the super bowl dreams of the chiefs, lions, ravens and 49ers are alive and well after a weekend that saw three of the four matchups decided in the final plays. in last night's late game in

they're trying to boost their child's credit score at this young tween age. is that a good idea? >> brilliant questions, i'm so glad jennifer asked. let's start with the checking and savings accounts we talked with the experts they say right around the age of 8 to 12, depending on the maturity of your child, that's a great time to open a savings and then what you really want to look for is an account that has no fees to open, no overdraft fees, and a very low minimum to start. there are a lot of them out there. capital one, for example, chase. they actually offer a savings account with a debit account at this age your kids don't need a checking account but you can really teach them the mechanics of it because you have got the debit. you are explaining to them, this is where your allowance goes or the earnings from your job. then when you want to buy that skin care or that skateboard, this is when the money comes out, so it is a really good way to practice. and also, you were talking with jenna, i think she got her daughter the green light app that's another popular one it's a debit card. a fantastic way to teach them some financial literacy and you,

as a parent, have controls over it so you can monitor and teach them how to budget on these apps. >> okay. parents are putting your allowance on the green light app. >> exactly. >> what about if you just had a baby too early to be thinking about this stuff >> not at all. the baby could have a credit card. >> no, we'll get to that for sure but lending tree found the cost of raising a child from 0 to 18, $237,000 when you factor in all the supplies, the health care. that doesn't include college if education is important to you, if college is an option you want to have your child, you can open a 529 named after the tax code when they get a social security number, right anyone can open it a godparent, a friend if they want to. this is something that's really grown flexible you can use it on tuition, housing, books but also on secondary education, a vocational school. let's say your child grows up and they are amazing and don't need to go to school, don't want to go to college, you can designate another beneficiary so

that money isn't wasted. withdrawals are fax free, which is huge growing that money also, think about the holidays when everybody is giving gifts and toys toys are great but investments go a lot longer. >> let's talk about investing because i was just telling you when i was like in junior high we had a class where they had us all pretend we were buying stocks and things. i remember to this day buying superior oil with my monopoly money. but i remember it. there is something about kids getting into the investment world early. >> so important. and really, teenager years are the best time. fidelity youth launched this app for kids 13 to 17 years old. they will give you $50 to start with real money. you can invest in u.s. stocks, mutual funds again with the parental controls so your child doesn't go wild there. but any money they don't invest goes into a money market account with a 4.99% apy so they're getting a high-yield savings account from money they don't invest but man, if they like certain brands, this is a great way to

get them to understand earnings, profits, losses, and when your company does well, you do well >> wow >> we forgot to answer one of jennifer questions i made a joke, but should you get your kids a credit card just to make their credit score go up >> i loved this question we talked to matt schultz at lending tree he said if you have good credit, you can add your child as an authorized user, and that basically kick starts their credit with years of a positive history because the credit unions will look back and say, oh, okay, this person has had a credit card since 2024, and the bills have been paid on time the caveat is, if junior wracks up $5,000 of debt on your credit card, you are on the hook, mom or dad. >> well, you can set it up and just never let them know. >> exactly that's the work-around you add them you never give them the card they don't know. then when they're 18, they open their own solo card and they've already got a great credit history to begin with. >> wow, good advice. >> thank you, vicky. >> mr. roker, what you got >> we're looking at another storm system coming in to central and southern california.

here saying that snow is dirty, so we went and took snow from the backyard and we microwaved it and it's clear. i didn't grow up drinking filtered water we drank out of the tap water. we put our mouths on the tap sometimes in the summer when it was hot, we drank out of the hose like we put our mouth on the hose growing up. and then so i -- filtered water, i didn't -- maybe that's why i'm like this. >> we all drank from the hose. >> we all did. >> what about al, though is snow a collection of air pollutants is it safe to eat? >> i think it depends on where you live you also need to know where your snow is. in your backyard, you know, on the top of the car, it's pristine i think you're okay. >> right yellow >> i think we all know what that is you probably put that story in just so you could do that. >> that's exactly right. >> that's why i love you >> we make in our ice snow ice cream. we do heavy cream and sweetener. >> my mom does that. >> it's delicious.

♪ ♪ we are back with start today we are back with "start today" and two big questions how do you make a person feel truly seen and how many people in your life truly see you? that is at the heart of a new book called "how to know a person" from new york times best-selling author and columnist david brooks

so good to see you i have to confess i'm a huge fan of yours i love your books, and i love this topic in particular because i don't know if it's post-pandemic or just life in general. but i feel like we don't actually look at each other and make eye contact the eye contact we're having right here is extraordinary, but that doesn't happen. why is that? what's going on? >> yeah. i think we're nervous. we're egotistical. i was in a diner in waco, texas having breakfast and a mutual friend of ours walks in the diner >> and he walks over to us, grabs her and shakes her way harder than you should shake a 93-year-old. he says, i love you, i love you. and she turned into a bright eye shining 9-year-old girl. when we first gaze at somebody, we're answering a question, am i priority to you? am i person to you will you be kind to me the answers to your questions

will come out of your eyes before any words come out of your mouth that first gaze is important. >> you talk about in the book how you went to a party and you realize at the end of the party like nobody asked you one question you went through a whole deal, got home and realized. so what did that teach you, that exercise >> i think only 30% of humanity are question askers. the rest are perfectly nice people they just don't ask you a question so i always -- when i meet somebody, i ask them about their childhood. people love talking about their childhood. >> how do you ask that >> where did you grow up what was it like and then you can get a little closer you can get to know somebody better what is your favorite unimportant thing about you? >> your favorite unimportant thing. >> my favorite is i liked earl taylor swift more than her later stuff. >> that tells you something. >> then you really get to know somebody you've got trust then the questions should be big questions. like what transition are you going through? what would you do if you weren't afraid or if we met a year from now,

what will you be celebrating these are questions that get people talking >> i like one of your questions. i just highlighted on one of these papers stuck together. but you say, i no longer ask people, what do you think about that instead, i ask, how did you come to believe that? that's a whole different ball of wax, isn't it? >> you want to get people in story modes. when they are telling stories, they're more personal. a little funny story i read about in a book. a lady was hired to do a focus group. about why people go to the grocery store late at night. she didn't say why do you go t the grocery store late at night. she said tell me about the last time you went to a grocery store after 11:00 p.m. one woman said, well, i smoked a joint and i wanted a ménage à trois with ben and jerry. you get a glimpse into her life. she asked for a story. i always try to get people in narrative mode >> you underscore it well. you talk about there are illuminators and diminishers. there are people that when you walk in the room you feel better after you leave it and then there are diminishers describe those people. >> they're not curious about

you. they're egotistical. they just talk about themselves. they stereotype. they ignore. they make you feel small and invisible. illuminators make you feel great. they're curious, they illuminate you with the gaze of their attention. it is really productive being an illuminator. there was a phenomenon at bell labs some of the researchers were more productive than others. they wanted to know why. they said iq, was it education they couldn't figure it out. it turned out that people who are creative were in the habit of having breakfast or lunch with an electrical engineer. and he asked them questions. he got inside their heads. he thought through their problems with them and they were productive because they were around this guy that was really interested in him. >> so having just that one person in your life can change the game i went to a retreat, and they made us do this exercise where they told you to look at someone like this, and they had you -- let me see your hand

they had you hold hands and they had you look in their eyes it was so uncomfortable that it felt like you were going to explode. and the person looked in your eyes and said, i see you and i love you when it was over, they asked people what did that experience feel like for you. some people said, i felt full of love some people said, who is this person and what are they trying to pull off here it told you a lot about what's happening within you isn't that part of what you're noticing >> yeah. so i grew up like very aloof and distant. when i was in nursery school, my teacher told my parents, dave doesn't play with the other kids he just observes them. so i've tried to be more emotionally available as i've gotten older. >> you can change. this person and that's the way i will be until i'm in my grave. >> i totally believe you can change how did you go about changing that because i think some people think, i'm this person, and that's the way i will be until i'm in my grave. >> i totally believe you can change i want to learn about emotions so i could express emotion so i wrote a book about emotion super intellectual kind of guy then i wrote a book about trying to become a better person called "the road to character" where i

wrote about suffering. i think i'm radically changed. i can prove it, but i have to r vi interviews by oprah twice in my life, last in 2019 she said, david, drop names so i have been interviewed by oprah twice in my life the last time was in 2019. after the interview, she says to me, dave, i've rarely seen somebody change so much. you were so emotionally blocked before that was a big moment for you because you can grow in middle age and old age. i really think it is possible to become quite a different person. you have that experience i was at a conference in nantucket, and they gave everybody at the conference these song lyrics, which had a love song on them. they said pick a stranger in the room and sing the love song into their eyes. >> oh, geez. >> if you had asked 30-year-old me to do that, i really would have exploded. but i did it i did it. >> what happened >> no sparks >> very cool that was super brave by the way, the thing i love about this book is it's filled with cool anecdotes, but it' also filled with directives, things that you can practically do to improve. if you want to be a better

person, this is the book "how to know a person" by david brooks i have a feeling you've got another "new york times" best seller on your hands they just seem to happen that way. by the way, i do see you >> thank you. >> and i do love you. >> i love you too. >> savannah, over to you >> what an awesome conversation. thank you so much, hoda and david. and coming up next, we will just shift gears slightly we've got style. jasmine snow is here we're talking the mega bag, mary janes, all the big trends right now. we'll get into it. we'll get into it. but, first, this is "today" on
