spotlight" on the thousands of volunteers stepping up to preserve history by transcribing millions of documents for the library of congress. plus, a "sunday sitdown" and a walk in the park with seven-time grammy winner kacey musgraves on the new album that draws inspiration from new york city and building a superstar career her way despite some early doubters. what was the message you were getting from the label? >> this is depressing. it's not going to do well for us. the first time, a female in country. i was like, okay, well, if i am going to go down in flames, i would rather it be wholeheartedly for something i truly believe in. >> a "sunday sitdown" with kacey musgraves plus another "life well lived" all a bit later in the show. but let's begin this morning with the two oldest presidential candidates in american history setting off on the eight-month road to election day. nbc's white house correspondent aaron gilchrist is in the battleground state of georgia

where president biden and former president trump each held rallies on saturday. aaron, good morning. >> reporter: willie, good morning to you. the dueling rallies turned into a slugfest with president biden and former president trump taking the stage about the same time, 70 miles apart. biden firing up his base and ticking off talking points what he's done in office. visiting battleground states michigan and wisconsin, his team is launching a new $30 million ad buy geared towards communities of color and addressing one of the biggest concerns about him -- his age. >> look, i'm not a young guy. >> reporter: the trump campaign wasting no time responding with an ad of its own showing a montage of president biden's recent stumbles to drive home

their point that he's too old. mr. trump, four years younger, hit his usual talking points, weaponization of governments and attacking his 2024 rival now. it is a contentious campaign on both sides already, willie, and we should note election day is still 240 days away. willie? >> a long road ahead, aaron. president biden also sat down for an exclusive interview with our friend msnbc's jonathan capehart on the war in gaza and had strong new words for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> reporter: yeah, willie, the president had a frank assessment of how netanyahu is handling this ongoing war saying that he wants to have a serious conversation with the prime minister, a come to jesus meeting, he called it in a hot mic moment last week. he said that he reiterated while israel does have a right to defend itself, netanyahu must be

more aware of the consequences of his actions and the amount of deaths we're seeing in gaza. listen. >> in my view, he's hurting israel more than helping, contrary to what israel stands for. i think it's a big mistake. >> reporter: now the president also reiterated his desire for a six-week ceasefire and release of hostages. the administration saying that significantly increasing humanitarian aid into gaza is a must, and, to that end, willie, we understand a ship left virginia last night carrying some equipment to start building that pier off the gaza coast. willie? >> aaron gilchrist starting us off in atlanta this morning. aaron, thanks so much. we appreciate it. kristen welker is the moderator of "meet the press." kristen, good morning. it is great to see you. we had both candidates now, i think we can fairly say, a two-man race as nikki haley dropped out in georgia yesterday, the president trying

to show that vitality, perhaps, that he showed with his state of the union address that put to rest a little bit, maybe temporarily, some of the fears of democrats watching joe biden. are we going to see more of this president out on the trail like we did yesterday? >> willie, i think that is going to be the big question. democrats breathed a collective sigh of relief in the wake of president biden's state of the union address because he had so much energy, he showed so much fight, mixing it up with republicans in real time, drawing a sharp contrast with former president trump whom he referred to as his predecessor more than 13 times, taking on the issue of age head on saying, yes, he may be 81 years old, but he called trump's ideas outdated. so that's where the battle lines are being drawn. he has already hit the campaign trail in pennsylvania, as you just discussed with aaron, in georgia he has a busy slate of stops coming up this coming

week. and some news just this morning first to nbc news, willie, i want to tell you about, president biden raised a whopping $10 million in the 24 hours following his state of the union address. that is a record for the re-election effort. it includes 160,000 donations from 113,000 contributors. this is a boost. the campaign says this is a sign that this reset heading into this new phase is heading in the right direction. allies undoubtedly will cheer this news as well, willie. >> both candidates will need all the money they can get for the eight-month road ahead. kristen, let's pace ourselves. thanks so much. great to see you. we'll look for more this morning on "meet the press" when kristen is joined by one of georgia's senators, raphael warnock, adam schiff and lindsey graham of south carolina. this morning alaska airlines says it is cooperating fully as

the department of justice investigates that blow-out on a flight in january when a piece of a plane broke away in midair. nbc's george solis has details. >> reporter: it was one of the more dramatic in-flight emergencies in recent memory, and questions swirl how this could happen, questions going all the way to the department of justice. the justice department is and journal investigators contacted pilots, flight attendants and passengers was forced to make an emergency landing where fortunately no one was hurt. the justice department provided no comment to nbc news. the focus of the investigation set to center on whether boeing has complied with a previous settlement following a federal investigation into the airline's

handling of the deadly jet crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people. the company providing no comment to nbc news. >> they're going to look pretty seriously at is this a one-off or is this systemic. >> reporter: in a preliminary report last month the ntsb found four bolts needed to keep the door in place were missing. alaska airlines saying in part, it's normal for the doj to conduct an investigation. we are fully cooperating and do not believe we are a target of the investigation. news of this criminal investigation comes as the ntsb has blasted boeing for turning in records, a claim the company refutes n. a letter this week to u.s. senator maria cantwell, boeing revealing they can't find documentation on the removal of the door plug. that's probably not a good answer either. >> it's a horrible answer. and when i read that, i was shocked that, one, they don't have the documentation. they're required to have that documentation, and, if not, then

we're talking about a much deeper problem of procedural compliance. >> reporter: now an attorney representing passengers that were on that alaska airlines max 9 flight telling nbc news they appreciate the doj is approaching the incident with the seriousness it calls for. others telling us they hope those responsible will be held accountable. willie? >> george solis, thank you very much. this morning kensington palace released the first official photograph of princess kate since she underwent abdominal surgery in january. the photo taken by prince william this week shows kate and the couple's three children and includes a message thanking the public for well wishes during her recovery. the palace has been tightlipped about kate's condition in the weeks since her surgery. nice to see her looking well. the 96th academy awards will be held tonight in los angeles with "oppenheimer" leading the list of favorites. but fans can expect some surprises and some singing from ryan gosling.

expecting the role in "the holdovers" for johnson. while lilly gladstone could make history as the first native american woman to win an oscar for best actress. >> you talk too much. >> i don't talk too much. >> reporter: some say don't count out emma stone from "poor things" just yet. >> why keep it in my mouth if it is revolting? >> hi, barbie. >> hi, ken. >> reporter: while "barbie" raked in $1.4 billion in the box office this year, the movie's star, margot robbie and the director were shut out of their respective categories. this year's host jimmy kimmel poking fun at the snub in this promo. >> good thing greta has director in the bag. >> oh, ryan?

friends included future stars judy garland and lana turner. she pursued a singing career as a soprano in the los angeles civic light opera, on broadway and touring military bases during world war ii with the marx brothers. it was a homemade skirt that made juli lynne famous. a boutique placed an order for a variety of designs. the big department stores followed as the poodle skirt, named for one of its most popular looks, spread from hollywood across the country. the future queen elizabeth ii gave the skirt a big boost when she was photographed twirling one at a dance in canada. paired with saddle shoes, the poodle skirt has been a marker of the 1950s, on tv and in movies ever since. ♪♪

travis. the chiefs' star tight end getting emotional again on the brothers' podcast this week. >> it was fun to watch. like i said yesterday, man, i just appreciate you, showing me the way and bringing us all along the journey with you, big guy. >> got to love those guys. we learned later in the week that jason asked one of the eagles' longtime athletic trainers, joe, to tape his ankles for that retirement speech. why? because he missed this season while battling cancer, and jason wanted his beloved trainer to be the last ever to tape him up. now it wasn't all tears for jason and travis. the day after the retirement announcement, the cleveland cavaliers honored the hometown hero at a game. the cavs mascot delivering the brothers a pair of beers courtside and, well, they disappeared very, very quickly. next stop for jason very likely the pro football hall of fame.

our first low goes to the landing on a trip by one daredevil skier who very nearly caught an unintentional lift this week. 17-year-old ivan jones nailing those tight turns in alberta, canada. after he hits the jump and the flip, he also hits the moving chair lift. let's see the replay, almost catches a ride to the bottom before the wipeout. the downhill lift was empty, thankfully, and ivan somehow was not injured. not saying anyone should ever try that, but he did almost land a trick seated on the lift that would win you the x-games big air competition. again, don't try it. our next high on this oscar sunday goes to a hollywood icon born on this night ten years ago. her name is adele, who could forget when john travolta introduced her as the wickedly
