cast his vote. >> we got it all covered this morning. let's get it started with ryan nobles. ryan, good morning. what a surprise on capitol hill. >> reporter: that is safe to say this did not turn out as republicans had planned. they hoped to use the impeachment of alejandro mayorkas as a way to put the crisis at the border front and center, and instead that vote failed, leaving speaker mike johnson struggling to find a path forward. a stunning development on capitol hill and a day of chaos for house republicans. >> the resolution is not adopted. >> reporter: who were hoping to impeach homeland security secretary may alejandro mayorkas. there were a few republican defections, but they still thought they had enough votes. that was until democrat al green recovering from surgery made a surprise appearance, providing democrats an extra vote enough to kill the measure. >> we have been caught a little off guard. >> reporter: and moments later, speaker mike johnson failing to marshal support for another big republican push in israel military assistance bill.

the gop vowing to bring mayorkas impeachment articles up for a vote again soon, and calling on republicans to, quote, abandon these political games. that bill designed in part to confront the growing crisis at the southern border is stalled. a frustrated president biden placing the blame on donald trump. >> he wants a political issue to run against me on. >> reporter: but republicans who begged for changes at the border now arguing that would make this worse. >> this does more harm than good. >> the result is the best and only hope any type of border reform is effectively dead, while the crisis at the border continues to grow with no solution in sight. and we do have new information this morning. that full national security package is scheduled for a procedural vote today. it is expected to fail. this morning sources are telling

warning signs. >> he literally drew a picture of what he was going to do. he drew a picture. it says, help me. >> reporter: and instead of getting ethan help, prosecutors argued his parents bought him a gun, showing this video of crumbley at a shooting range with him just days before the massacre. experts say their verdict could impact how authorities prosecute these cases. does this open the door for parents to be held accountable for mass shootings in the future? >> it absolutely does. police officers will start looking at the parents and the way they deal with their children. >> reporter: craig schilling who lost his 17-year-old son, justin, hopes it will help prevent future tragedies. >> can't just continue living life with the uncertainty of whether or not our kids will come home from school. >> reporter: jennifer crumbley's sentencing is set for april 9th. she faces a maximum of 15 years in prison per charge. her husband's trial is set to begin next month, and he faces the same charges, four counts of involuntary manslaughter.

>> maggie, thank you so much. the jury foreperson in the first-of-its-kind trial is with us now. alex, good morning to you. we're not mentioning your last name for your own privacy reasons. i have to say, to have you here is a privilege because what we ask jurors to do in this country is very, very difficult. that is something that you and your fellow jurors did. what is it like in that courtroom, having that responsibility and delivering that verdict yesterday? >> there was definitely a weight. i think anytime we entered the courtroom there was an undeniable weight on us. we also took the responsibility that was befallen us seriously,. >> what swayed you in the end? you said this wasn't an easy decision. >> speaking for myself i know each and i'm just 1 of 12 that made a very difficult decision. >> what evidence persuaded you

in the end you said it wasn't an easy decision. >> not easy at all so speaking for myself, i know that each individual juror had their own opinion. this did this for one person this convinced the other for me, i just feel like jennifer didn't separate her son from the gun enough to save those lives that day. >> you felt she was the last person known to have had custody of the gun >> yeah. >> and somehow it ends up in his hands. >> and i think the responsibility of securing the weapon then falls on her >> what about those text messages or journal entries, things where jurors saw where it indicated ethan had asked for help and his parents hadn't given him that help. was that persuasive to you >> to me personally, it wasn't as impactful as the evidence of her having the gun but i know for my fellow jurors that the notebook played a huge part. >> tell me about her testimony jennifer crumbley took the stand

in her own defense she testified. what did you take of her on the witness stand? >> at the time, i tried to take her as she gave herself. but once we went into deliberation, it became clear that she wasn't a super reliable witness in this case. >> do you think she helped herself on the stand or hurt herself? would it have been better, in other words, if she hadn't testified at all >> we'll never know. >> you talked about her testimony. there was a point where she was asked, would you have done anything differently and she said she wouldn't have how did that strike you and the other jurors >> it was repeated a lot in the hear. i think that there are many small things that could have been done to prevent this. >> when you went back into the jury room, you're the jury foreperson. >> i am.

deliberation room. i think that it was very upsetting to hear. i think that there are many small things that could have been done to prevent this. >> when you went back into the jury room, you are the jury foreperson, which is a big responsibility i should just mention again, there is no manual for jurors. nobody tells jurors how to deliberate how did you handle it? was the jury immediately in agreement or how did it play out? >> i took it more as a job of facilitation i wanted to make sure each and every juror to the best of my ability was heard and understood and we heard their piece so that was the role i took on as the foreperson. it was not immediately unanimous. and it was my responsibility to hear the concerns of those on either side and construct an argument either way. >> do you feel that the jurors wished they could have heard from ethan crumbley himself? >> i'm not sure how much that

would have helped or hurt? >> okay. alex, thank you so much for your civil service. being a juror is not easy, and this was a very difficult case thank you so much. appreciate it. all right. let's turn now to a legal setback for donald trump a federal appeals court ruling the former president is not immune to charges of plotting to over turn the 2020 election. laura jarred joins us now with details and what happens next.o. but it's bee >> good morning. this is one of the most serious cases donald trump faces but it's been tied up in court battles for months now battles that could soon come to a conclusion as it left the president little time to delay this morning a major legal blow will never concede. >> the three-judge panel referring to the former president as citizen trump. unanimously reject for donald trump a federal appeals court giving

the justice department the green light to prosecute the former president for his efforts to reverse the 2020 election. >> we will never give up we will never concede. >> the three-judge panel referring to the former president acid seven trump, unanimously rejecting the argument that he should be immune from charges related to the acts he took while still in office. >> i just want to find 11,780 votes. >> reporter: calling mr. trump's alleged efforts to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election if proven, an unprecedented assault on the structure of our government, adding, we cannot accept former president trump's claim that would neutralize the

most fundamental check on executive power. the recognition and implementation of election results. mr. trump arguing his case on truth social as he has for weeks, saying in part without complete immunity a president of the united states would not be able to properly function. the trump campaign bouncing on the decision as a political fund-raising opportunity and the former president continuing his domination over the republican party with another victory overnight. trump was not even on the ballot, running in a separate caucus instead but nikki haley still came in second place a rejection of mr. trump's only remaining republican opponent, as he fights more legal battles ahead. as for what comes next now, the appeals court has given mr. trump until this coming monday to go to the u.s. supreme court on this issue, but there is no guarantee that the justices actually agree to block this decision as mr. trump wants. if they choose not to, then this trial is back on potentially as soon as this summer, guys. >> all right, laura. thank you so much. appreciate it. panel craig has joined the table >> good morning. good morning to you as well. there has been a major development in the investigation

into last month's frightening door panel blow-out on an alaska airlines flight. the ntsb now saying it has photographic evidence it was not properly bolted in place when that plane left the boeing factory. nbc's tom costello has been following this story, covers aviation for us. tom, good morning to you this would seem to be pretty strong evidence against boeing. >> absolutely. it comes nearly five weeks after we had that mid-air emergency. ever since the ntsb lab in washington has been closely looking at the door plug that recovered at its lab in washington and it says there is no evidence that there were bolts inside that door plug when it blew off the plane. now take a look at this photograph really, the biggest piece of evidence thus far, very compelling it was taken at boeing when the plane was still on the production line. the door plug had been taken off for fuselage repairs and put back on. look at the blue circles 3 of 4 bolts are missing before it was ever sent to alaska airlines the fourth hole covering up insulation there on the far left the plane went to alaska

airlines a few weeks later, the door plug blew out at 16,000 feet. the evidence suggests this was a quality control breakdown at boeing itself. boeing's ceo released a statement saying boeing was accountable for what happened. an event like this must not happen on an airplane that leaves our factory, going on to say boeing is taking immediate action to strengthen quality this ntsb preliminary report is not the final report on why this happened, why the workers left the bolts off the door plug. how could this happen? those details come in the final boeing is not working. the faa process of alloying boeing t report, which is still to come down the road. the faa chief was on capitol hill yesterday testifying that essentially this was a major quality control breakdown at boeing and the system of overseeing boeing is not working. the faa process of allowing boeing to inspect itself not

working. now the faa bringing in more inspectors and looking at an outside third party to oversee quality control reports and inspections as well. craig? >> all right tom costello, thank you. 7:17 let's take our first look at the weather. still got your eye out west, huh, al? >> we do, but thankfully things are calming down we have more rain coming into the southern part of california. flood alerts for 12 million people, that's way down. wind alerts for 2 million. that storm system moves into the rockies, into the mountains and the four corners another round of heavy rain tonight for southern california, and that should be about it. heavy snow gets into the northern plains. rain and snow will develop into the midwest. we are looking for maybe another one-and-a-half to inches of rain tonight. that should do it. heavier snows back through the rockies.

or maybe taking the escalator instead of the stairs, but what they are saying is, yes, our ancestors had to move and be active why? they had to run away from predators and grow food. they needed that activity to survive. however, when they weren't active, what did they do they rested. why? to preserve energy and save calories because they didn't know when they would have access to calories again, and so that, yes, in fact now -- flash forward to modern day -- when we have access to food and drive-throughs and we have cars, you know, we have changed. however, our brains may still be hard wired or primed to think about rest and exercise is a voluntary choice it is a hard choice to make. >> now, look, hoda belongs to the no slacking at any time school of thought. but her lazier colleagues over here -- the point is that you may be hardwired that way, but

exercise is phenomenally good "r weak in character. let's think about this and give ourselves a little compassion and grace. >> you're like, oh, another excuse not to work out. >> what i was saying was, i don't want to work out. but when you work out, the next day you kind of want to. i feel like it is all about the energy that goes with it. >> maybe you have better biology. because i went on the treadmill for the first time in two years, and i didn't want to go the next day. but i did. >> even though it might be hard, you still have to make that difficult you still have to make that difficult choice the biologists say if you make it necessary and fun and rewarding, so think of social, kind of dance, marathons. >> it's 20 degrees out. >> i know, but still. >> it's good it is so important. >> it is absolutely important. we know it decreases the risk of dying and improves all kinds of risks for chronic conditions and

a driverless car clipped a bicyclist. it happened yesterday afternoon near 17th and mississippi. now, the bicyclist suffered cuts and left the scene. a visual of biker was obstructed by a truck and couldn't be tracked. waymo says its people were the first to contact 911. kari hall has been tracking the weather. >> we're seeing it become more widespread as we track it with storm ranger. you can do the same on your emotional device. it's picking up in the north bay and that will be the case late morning into the afternoon. also watching out for a chance of thunderstorms. in the evening commute, we're still looking at rain moving through with most of us getting about a quarter to a half inch of rainfall. looking much drier for the weekend with sunshine and chilly temperatures.

so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are.

two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. welcome back it is a chilly but gorgeous day in new york.

birthday girl. >> i know! >> happy birthday. thanks, everybody. coming up next, we will catch up couple that wears leopard patty davis with a deeply personal book written as a letter to her parents, nancy and ronald reagan. she will tell us all about it. she will tell us all about it. but,irst, this is "today" fon this ad? typical. politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up. with katie porter. porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter.

i'm katie porter and i approve this message. growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn.

and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message. we are back at 8:35 with former first daughter of patty davis. the daughter of nancy and ronald reagan she grew up in the spotlight and so craved her parents' attention. but she quickly realized she was sharing them with the world. in her book "dear mom and dad," she expresses thoughts and emotions she was never able to share when they were alive good morning to you. >> good morning. >> this is so personal you have told your story before, but this is opening up a new perspective, wouldn't you say, on your parents -- on the way they raised you and your upbringing, your childhood i think of the joni mitchell

song "from both sides". >> it is sort of the last chapter of a long journey for me, which is true for a lot of people with their families and whatever situations or issues they have with their families. it is like a peeling away of layers and you get to a place of hopefully some forgiveness and understanding and hopefully being able to step back and look at things through a wider lens you know, when i wrote about things before -- well, we have talked about this before, a book we are not going to mention the title of don't go buy it! you know, it was from a perspective of, well, i'm going to tell my truth the thing is, your truth is not the whole truth. there are other people's truths, and they're part of the story, too. and that's really what i wanted to bring in here and there were times of love and tenderness

and that's part of the story, too. >> you write, and you are such a beautiful writer, you say that's the thing about revisiting your childhood, you can travel back with wisdom in your eyes the story isn't as narrow as you once thought it was. you realize the whole story of your family is bigger, messier and often more tender than you once believed. what are some of those tender memories and moments that came back as you were writing these letters? >> certainly when i look back at the first six years of my life before my brother was born when it was the three of us, when i look at home movies and photographs, i did see tenderness and a joy of motherhood in my mother. i don't think she was faking it. i think that was very real and it did sort of dismantle as the years went on and instead we were like america and russia, locked in a cold war. >> you said, we were on a collision course that nothing could alter. this is you writing to your mom. embers glowing with heat that would explode into flames with the slightest wind and unfortunately, i seemed to

be that wind i say it reframing it in a way, and a look at them with grace, but you also don't run away from the hard stuff >> no, i think you can't you know, in working through your family issues, it is not like, oh, okay, well, i'm going to -- to borrow a phrase -- pour pink paint over the past you can't do that. your past is your past, you know you have experiences you have. it was valid to be upset about them it was valid to feel wounded then you go to grow up, and you have to realize that if you are leading with those wounds and where you were a victim, then that's going to color your whole life. >> that's true at some point, you have to take off your child's grief. >> exactly and grow ups he taug childhood. he said that god put the real solid gift i got from my father is he taught me from childhood, he said to me that god put everybody here for a reason and that has trailed me and tugged at me my whole life

including, literally saving my life when i was 19 and sat in the bathroom with a razor blade at my wrist, you know, with just a street light coming through the window i literally heard him in my heart and my head telling me god put everyone here for a reason i thought, this can't possibly be it. and it trailed me throughout my life, you know, propelling me to work past all of those wounds and that victimization i can't know the thoughts of god, but i'm pretty sure that god doesn't look at anybody and go, okay, you, you will be angry, resentful, do a lot of drugs and choose the wrong men i just don't think god thinks like that. >> i think god is on his own timetable and has endless timetable and has endless patients for us humans and the choices for us humans and the choices we make. look at this moment of grace you are in now you write a lot about your dad and his faith. i thought it was so interesting, you wrote something about, dad, if you are right and we do get to see each other again, you said death is just a relocation.

that's a beautiful thought do you kind of, for lack of a better word, fantasize about that or day dream about that sometimes? >> i do. coincidentally, in this book, the pub date was yesterday, which was his birthday that wasn't planned. it just happened they went, oh, february 6th. i went, okay, wow. >> sometimes the world does give you those little winks, doesn't it wow. patty, it is so wonderful to have you here. the book is called "dear mom and dad. it's very touching, and i think it's very relevant you don't have to have had a famous family to connect with the themes. >> fame has little to do with it, actually. >> families are complicated. a great conversationnversat. coming up next, the very busy dakota johnson is here. there is so much going on with a lot to talk about. we'll talk about that, but,

coming up next, the very i'm just not good at talking to journalists i think the big problem is that i say stuff and then they write it down. and it's really unfair because most of the time i'm joking. >> by the way, that was dakota johnson on "snl. before we get started, just know this it is a safe space you can say whatever you want. i'm not writing it down. >> everyone says they're safe. >> you know what's funny about you? you do have a great sense of humor, great sarcasm and sometimes all of that stuff does get misinterpreted as we go. >> all the time. >> all right let's talk about something you are talking about today, which is something called "madam web." you're playing a paramedic that develops the ability to see the

future and uses it to save the lives of three young girls let's take a look. >> get up. get off. get off. get up >> me? >> get off you're going to die if you stay here. >> are you threatening me? >> get off give me that >> spooky, a thriller. >> spooky guy. >> totally spooky. and also just action it was all happening in this movie. what made you decide to do this? >> i never thought i would be in a superhero movie. and i read this script and i was really drawn to the idea of a young woman's super power being her mind and using that to uplift these three young women and help them discover their powers and, you know, she ends up -- she can see into the future, and then she has the ability to alter the outcome so she decides to use that for good and i found it to be really

powerful. >> would you ever want to see into the future? >> i wouldn't. >> never >> no, i'm good. i like being surprised. >> yes. >> and i would feel too much responsibility, you know >> yeah, you like being surprised by life. this was also a very physical film did you have to do stunts and stuff? >> i did i did a lot of stunts driving, which was the most fun. >> yeah. >> and then i did some like hand to hand combat, which was also very fun i worked out a lot, which i loved. so it was great. >> can we talk about "snl. you were so good on "snl". that was so much fun what was it like for you >> i love it so much it's like i hosted the first time almost like nine years ago. and i just love it. >> is that 50 shades >> that was the first 50 shades, yeah. >> so it is 9 years almost to the day. >> i guess, yeah. >> isn't it unusual to think about that. >> it's crazy.

and i've had five or six movies come out on valentine's day since then it is very weird. >> that's super weird. >> i know. >> could you have predicted the trajectory of your career? i was just thinking about it as you were sitting here. we started nine years ago. that was in the beginning. it was the beginning for a lot of us knowing you and you were on this rocket ship. how has the ride been? >> so fun. i feel so grateful i have dreamt of this. i don't know i am still dreaming. i'm still in awe i'm still just -- i love my job so much. i want to do it forever, and i am just like so astonished and grateful to be where i am. >> melanie griffin going to college. i don't care what you're thinking. i want you to go to college. but you were i was reading now don johnson was like, look, you are going to college. i don't care what you're thinking i want you to go to college. but you were pretty defiant. you were like, no, no, i know

what i want. that must have been a difficult decision to make or was it easy? >> i mean, he cut me off. >> there's that. >> so it was difficult, but i -- i figured it out. >> what did he say to you? >> he said to everybody -- by everybody, i mean all of my siblings, which there's like 900, but -- but he said to all of us, like, you'll's be -- he calls it the payroll, which i have been like, okay, it's an allowance, but, okay he said, if you go to college, you still get an allowance and i was like, well, i'm going to be an actress and he was like, all right, you are on your own. >> so your allowance was cutoff. was it tough to make it? >> i did some little modeling jobs that helped me pay my rent. and then i started auditioning and got some jobs. >> proved him wrong. >> i definitely had moments where i couldn't afford groceries and things like that and needed to ask my mom to help me

she was the nice one. >> i kind of like how you also poke fun at the nepo baby thing. however you say that what do you think of that whole sitch? >> when that first started, i found it to be like incredibly annoying and boring. like if you are a journalist, write about something else that's just like lame. so the opportunity to make fun of it, i jumped at it. >> of course you did well, you were amazing on "snl". this show "madam web" is amazing. >> i love being here i'll stay all day. another vale movie. get ready to pamper yourself. jill is hear with steals and deals. but, rst, this ifi you wasnt to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care.
