nationwide, shutting down major roads, snarling traffic. but raerp's attack on israel has renewed urgency on capitol hill to increase financial support for israel. >> richard engel joins the speaker of the house unveiling a new plan for a vote on a long stalled package. >> richard engel joins us from jerusalem. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. israel's war cabinet is meeting yet again today for the third straight day, but israeli officials are being very closed lipped about how, when, where and to what extent israel will act against iran. israel says it will retaliate to iran's unprecedented and unsuccessful missile and drone attack. while touring a base that was lightly damaged, the chief of staff of the israeli army gave no hints. >> iran will face the consequences for its actions. >> reporter: four u.s. officials tell nbc news they expect

israel's response to be limited in scope, and most likely involve strikes against iranian forces and iranian-backed proxies outside of iran. iran controls well-armed militias. in lebanon, syria, iraq and yemen. striking them would not be seen as provocative as hitting iran directly but could also trigger a violent response, especially in lebanon, home to hezbollah, the world's most powerful, non-state military. but as of now, it's all a guessing game. u.s. officials stress they have not been briefed on israel's final decision, which may change. last night, iran's foreign minister saying its response to future action from israel will be, quote, immediate and severe. israel and iran fought a shadow war for decades which burst into the open earlier this month when israel bombed the iranian consulate in damascus, killing senior iranian military officials.

the amir of qatar working to broker a cease-fire in gaza overnight called it all a distraction from the war in gaz. in multiple american cities yesterday, pro-palestinian protesters took to the streets blocking traffic from the golden gate bridge in san francisco to where many of the 2.3 million people according to aid agencies are on the brink of starvation. in multiple american cities yesterday, pro-palestinian protesters took to the streets blocking traffic from the golden gate bridge in san francisco to seattle, chicago's o'hare airport and new york. to demand a cease-fire. >> richard, earlier you outlined the potential response from israel may look like. do you think that would be enough to avoid a wider war? >> reporter: it is always a gamble, and it is very hard to know because what israel does and israel's calculations are very likely not the same as iran's calculations. and some possible ideas that are being floated in the israeli

media, again, the israeli military is not making its plans public in any way, but there is talk that maybe israel could strike proxies outside the country, even use a cyberattack or carry out attacks against military facilities, particularly drone factories while avoiding civilian casualties in iran. >> all right, richered engel for us in jerusalem. richard, thank you. we turn to donald trump's criminal trial here in new york city. the judge dismissed nearly half the jurors on day one. the former president is facing 34 felony counts, stemming from an alleged cover-up of a hush money payment to an adult film star in the weeks before the 2016 election. nbc's senior legal correspondent laura jarrett has the latest. laura, good morning. >> hey, savannah, good morning. it was a surreal moment donald trump had fought to avoid. a former american president confined to a no-frills courtroom, getting a preview to the most salacious

evidence and a first glimpse of the every day new yorkers that will soon sit in judgment of him. this morning, the heavy lift of selecting a jury to hear what's likely to become one of the most to face for the first time with some of the men and women who could ultimately determine his high-profile cases in history labors on. donald trump seated in a manhattan courtroom, coming face to face for the first time with some of the men and women who could ultimately determine his fate. the former president is accused of falsifying his internal business records in order to bury evidence he had an adult film actress paid off days before the 2016 election, an allegation he denies. >> nothing like this has ever happened before. >> reporter: 200 new yorkers summoned for jury duty slowly questioned in batches on day one of trial. many raising hands to signal they could not be fair. those were quickly dismissed. one woman overheard walking out of court saying, i just couldn't do it. perspective jurors only hearing

a brief outline of the 34 felony counts mr. trump faces as the judge ticked through a who's who of names from trump world that could come up or serve as potential witnesses. the solemn painstaking vetting process inside the courtroom, a contrast to what's been happening outside with the presumptive gop nominee railing against the timing of the state's case. >> i'm not in georgia or florida or north carolina campaigning like i should be. it is perfect for the radical left democrats. >> reporter: the judge publicly warning mr. trump his attendance at trial now mandatory. and if he doesn't show up, a warrant will be issued for his arrest, but was noncommittal about granting mr. trump a day off next month to attend his son's high school graduation. at the same time, some evidentiary wins from the former president's team heading into trial, including the judge barring prosecutors from playing the infamous "access hollywood" tape for the jury. though, they can reference what he said.

>> so, laura, you were there. there is an overflow courtroom, >> yes. >> so reporters that are covering it who can't be in the courtroom can see and witness what's happening inside the courtroom. what did you see?. we can see his eyes. there is all this debate about whether he was sleeping or not >> right. we couldn't be in the courtroom yesterday because it's packed with prospective jurors. eventually we'll get in there. yesterday we could see the former president on a big jumbo screen. we can see his eyes. there's all this debate about whether he was sleeping or not. we can see his eyes were closed for long stretches. do we know he's sleeping for sure? no. he's intently looking at the evidence, engaged, following along with the questionnaire that the jurors are talking about in court. it's a mixed bag in terms of what his disposition was like there. but we could not see the actual jurors. we could only hear their voices. >> and we have a few more days, maybe a week or two more of jury selection? >> you can see why it's taking so long. so many people are saying i just can't do it. >> laura, thank you very much. also this morning, millions of americans are once again in the path of severe weather. the potential for tornadoes, flooding rain, high winds.

al's very busy tracking it all morning, al. >> hey, good morning, guys. and we are looking already at severe weather firing up. we have tornado watches from nebraska all the way down to iowa. and we're looking at even some tornado warnings right now in parts of kansas. so we're watching this very closely. this is part of a big, developing storm that's rapidly intensifying in strength. as it moves out this morning, strong storms moving into the northwest. isolated flash flood potential. we're looking today and tonight, 25 million people at risk for wind gusts of up to 60 miles an hour, damaging hail and tornadoes, especially in this hatched area, ef-2 or more from cedar rapids, des moines, on into quincy. this moves tomorrow into the east into the ohio river valley with rain arriving by later tomorrow on the east coast. in fact, 19 million people at risk from detroit, cleveland, louisville, columbus. indianapolis, heaviest rains will be in the upper ohio and mississippi river valleys and on up right through the northern plains. hourly rates 1 to 2 inches per hour. guys?

>> all right, al. we'll check back. thank you so much. we turn now to new developments tied to the collapse of baltimore's key bridge. the fbi has joined the investigation into last month's disaster. and just yesterday, a fourth victim was recovered from the wreckage. nbc's tom costello joins us with the latest. tom, good morning. >> reporter: hi, savannah. this we're told is a criminal investigation, looking into what the crew knew before the crash. was there any evidence the ship might lose power and become uncontrollable while still in baltimore waters. it comes as the owner operators are invoking a pre-civil war law to limit their liabilities. photos from "the washington post" capturing fbi agents climbing up the side of a massive container ship dolly, executing a search warrant. the ship still trapped in the wreckage of the francis scott key bridge a month after the

ship crashed into the bridge at 1:30 a.m. late monday word that a 4th body has been recovered. the fbi is focused on whether any member of the crew had prior knowledge of the ship's mechanical problems that would make it unsafe. maritime law attorney james power. >> crews still aboard. so they will interview the crew. they will probably, i would assume, coordinate with the notes of the coast guard and the ntsb for any investigation. >> reporter: the ntsb tells nbc news its investigators are looking into reports that alarms were going off on the ship while it was still in port. suggesting a potential power problem before the ship left port. >> they needed the assistance of hyundai, who was the manufacturer of equipment in the engine room to download data from the electrical power system and look at the circuit breakers. >> reporter: attorneys for two of the bridge repair workers who died and one survivor say the men were sitting in their cars on a break when they were suddenly thrown into the water below without warning. two remain missing.

>> baltimore has temporarily lost a bridge. but six families have permanently lost irreplaceable loved ones. >> reporter: the mayor of baltimore now promising legal action against the ship's owner, the manufacturer and operator. but the owner and manager have already invoked a law dating back to 1851 that limits their liability only to the value of the damaged ship, not the victim's families or the destroyed bridge. >> this law was used to protect the owner of the titanic. that's how ridiculous this is. >> reporter: now, there is an exception to that 170-year-old law. if the owner knew the ship had problems before it left port. so that makes this fbi investigation very important. all companies involved have declined to comment. by the way, we're now learning that hul joe owe, who survived falling off the bridge into his truck in the freezing water, he didn't swim.

he rolled down the windows, climbed out, clung to a piece of metal until he was rescued. thankfully, his car, didn't have electric windows. savannah? >> incredible. tom, thank you for the update. we have a lot more to get to, including a headline-making story for anybody who has concert on their summer agenda. the justice department will file an anti-trust lawsuit against tick giant live nation. let's bring in christine romans. hey, christine, good morning. >> good morning to you. you know, you have heard these complaints about high ticket prices and the famous taylor swift's eras tour ticket debacle. remember? the government has been looking into this for years. now it may be ready to take the next step against live nation. ♪ it's been a major year for high-profile concerts. and high-profile ticketing meltdowns. >> i just really wanted to see taylor. >> reporter: and this morning the government reportedly preparing to sue live nation,

last month, writing the economic conditions lead to high prices, adding promoters don't set prices. artists do. fans focused on the prices as several massive tours set to take the stage this year. nbc news reached out to the department of justice, but they have not declined to comment. >> christine, put this in perspective. how big of a deal is this for live nation? >> this is a two-year investigation, right? and this is the government. this is the department of justice saying, is this a monopoly. is this too big and has too much power? so that will be -- if the government files suit, that will be what this will explore. that is a big challenge certainly for live nation. >> thank you. >> we'll keep an eye on it. we'll switch gears and get back to al and his national map. >> that's right. a beautiful day in the northeast. temperatures again into the 70s. we're looking at record highs throughout the lower mississippi and ohio river valleys. severe storms as we get into the upper mississippi river valley.

names of witnesses who peterson lawyers say fear retaliation for speaking out. convicted killer scott peterson set to appear back in court virtually today as he continues his latest quest for a new trial now with the help with the los angeles innocence project. >> i see mr. peterson trying to unmute. >> reporter: peterson, now 51, last seen at a hearing a month ago, zooming in from prison, sporting long hair pulled back in a ponytail. his new attorney argued for the release of evidence she says should have been made available at the time of the trial. >> mr. peterson has been waiting 20 years to find some of these police reports and audio recordings and video recordings. that should have been provided. >> reporter: peterson is serving a life sentence without parole for the 2002 murders for his pregnant wife lacee and unborn child. police say peterson dumped the bodies. where months later their bodies washed up. but the l.a. innocence project says there is overlooked evidence, suggesting they may

have been killed by burglars who broke into the home across the street from the peterson's. the l.a. innocence project is pointing to a burned out orange van, containing a bloody mattress appeared the morning after lacee disappeared. they want to do a sample of that van to determine if there is any of lacy's dna. a former modesto police detective, one of the lead investigators on the original case, says he never knew about the van at the time. >> do you think there is a possibility that it is connected to this case? >> i guess there is a possibility. but i think it is kind of like the possibility of the sun rising in the west tomorrow. i just really don't think it's there. >> reporter: criminal defense attorney has been following the case for years and believes peterson didn't get a fair trial. >> i know he didn't get a fair trial because a fair trial would have been that all of the information would have been provided to the defense. >> now, the district attorney

has not responded to any of these new claims, but the prosecution says there is overwhelming circumstantial evidence against peterson, including lying about his mistress and that the bodies were found at the same place he had gone fishing alone. today peterson's family will be there in court to support him. all this setting the stage for a critical hearing next month where his attorneys will make the case for getting that dna testing. guys? >> liz, thank you. we want to turn to nbc's legal analyst, danny cevallos. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is a high bar for the defense team toover come to get a new trial. what do you think the significance is of today? >> today is really just about sealing the record. what the defense wants to do is go and reach out to all these witnesses. but just like the prosecutors do in grand jury proceedings, they want to protect these witnesses because i have no doubt some of these potential witnesses are t. you got to protect me. so the problem is that court records are like, i don't want my name out

there in the news. i don't want anything to do with this. you got to protect me. so the problem is that court records are presumed to be public and open. so this is not going to be a walk in the park. they have to make a showing that there is substantial interest and a good reason to seal these records and keep the identities of these witnesses private. and if they don't achieve that today, you might see some of the people that they want to bring into court back out because they just don't want any part of this. >> some people might be thinking there must be something there because the l.a. innocence project is saying there might be something there. they're looking for this dna evidence. so is there something there with the l.a. innocence project, do you think? >> well, this isn't the original innocence project, the barry scheck innocence project. that was made famous -- barry scheck was a o.j. simpson attorney which it is a timely reference given news of recent. but, look, at the same time, these are organizations that do get thousands upon thousands of prisoner letters. i get a lot of prisoner letters. so they have their choice to pick up the favorite, the one they think has the best chance. so there is some significance there. but at the same time, they have

a very high bar here. overturning a conviction is really, really difficult. it is not enough to just sort of raise some new questions that itself, but, i mean, they raised some things that really have people all across the country saying, boy, i'm second guessing this now. even though in all may have been raised at trial itself, but, i mean, they raised some things that really have people all across the country saying, boy, i'm second guessing this now. even though in all likelihood, probably they may have gotten the right guy at the original trial. >> all right. it will be interesting to keep watching it. thank you so much, danny. still ahead, an eye-opening new report out this morning on kids and social media. the dangers and the impact it's revealing that every parent needs to hear. but, first, the popular travel reward programs that millions rely on are under scrutiny this morning. christine romans has that story. >> good morning. millions have mileage rewards credit cards. you probably do, ladies. but are you getting all the perks? and what are the hidden costs? we've got that right over the break.

flier miles? >> you really want to know? >> i'm dying to know. >> i don't spend a nickel if i can help it unless it profits my mileage account. >> so what are you saving up for, hawaii, france? >> it's not that. the miles are the goal. >> that's funny. >> do you remember that? what a great movie. no offense to mr. clooney but for a lot of americans the rewards are the points. they don't want just the miles. >> yeah. that's true. >> well, and programs are very popular. according to one estimate, 41% of us have a travel rewards credit card. and now the government has called a hearing to see if you are really getting all the perks you're promised when you sign up. >> our senior business correspondent is back again, christine romans is back again with a closer look. so this has gone with the level of the government looking into it. what's going on? >> last year they found a case of a bank promising rewards perks and not delivering when you signed up for this rewards credit card. so the government wants to make sure you are getting all of the rewards that you are signing up for and it is not just a bait and switch.

these are really popular. millions of us have these cards. i think a lot of people don't follow through to make sure you are getting every single little dollar and point that's out there. >> i was just about to say. for the people watching this morning, including myself that have them, what should you know? >> you should know it is up to you to follow through, make sure you are checking the balances, make sure if they promise a bunch of points in the beginning that you get those points. don't leave points on the table. the average points card has 55,000 miles of points on it. i think people sometimes forget that's really valuable. and really watch when you're signing up. look for the best deal when you are signing up. some of these sign-up bonuses for these cards can be the equivalent of miles that are north of $1,000, so really shop around there. >> yeah. if you are looking, how can you price them out or compare and contrast? >> yeah. you want to be careful about a couple things. some banks have high annual fees. so if you are getting a bunch of miles on the front side and

paying $500 for diner's card. that doesn't help. many of the 15 big banks have 30% interest rates. >> whoa. >> if you sign up for the points and then you carry a little bit of a balance, you just lost all the benefit of that because you are paying so much in interest. with interest rates so high, i say this all the time, look at my face, if you can't pay it off at the end of the month, don't buy it, please. don't open up a new credit cards if if you think you're just going for the points but you can't carry the balance. >> so if you wanted to choose the best travel credit card, in your opinion, or one that you like, which are the top ones? >> i really argue a lot with some of my personal finance friends about this. i really like the miles. and i like the fact i get the miles. i have a family of five. i use those miles to pay off a ticket when we're all going someplace and it helps the budget. other people point to the cash back. if you are spending a lot, sometimes the cash back is the best deal. so i say you have to do the homework for yourself. there is not really a one-size-fits-all card. >> christine, what happens at these personal finance parties you go to? do you guys just go around and compare and contrast awards?

>> we don't spend any money. we just save money. >> thank you. let's get a check of the forecast. >> i'm all for the miles. that's the deal right there. all right. i'm all for some warm temperatures, too. through late week, pressure over the plains. it is pumping up this warm air. we've got warm tropical air surging north between high pressure out over the ocean, low pressure over the plains. it is pumping up this warm air. look at these temperatures today. pittsburgh 75 degrees. new york city 71. charlotte 88. st. louis 14 degrees above average at 81 degrees. look at the next three days, memphis, you are in the mid-80s. we cool down a bit on friday. jacksonville by 90 on friday. 84 in raleigh. upper 80s in houston. a cold front will push after these temperatures get anywhere from 1 to 20 degrees above average. a cold front pushing through from canada. over the weekend. that will drive temperatures down a bit. kansas city, you're 58 by saturday. you warm up to 68 on monday. pittsburgh 62. little rock will see temperatures cool down into the mid-60s but then warm up to near 70 degrees. that's what's going on around the country.

back now at 8:12 with new developments on a topic we have been following extensive here on "today." we're talking about social media and smart phones and kids. >> yeah. the american psychological association is now out with a new report just this morning, and it is calling for more to be done right now to protect young people from the potential dangers here. nbc's emilie ikeda has more. the apa is not mincing words here at all.

>> yeah, that's right. good morning to you both. the american psychological association says change is needed soon, and they believe that responsibility falls on the social media platforms themselves. the new report names quote, particularly risky feemps that the apa says capitalize on the vulnerables of young people's developing brains. >> reporter: this morning, the american psychological association demanding change from social media platforms. a head-turning report, detailing what it says are psychological threats to young people. the highly-respected group, writing in part, platforms built for adults are not inherently suitable for youth. youth requires special protection. the apa calling out features like endless scrolling, likes and follower counts and push notifications that it says capitalizes on developing brains that are more sensitive to impulses, social feedback and distraction. according to a recent survey noted by the group, more than

half of teens reported at least one clinical dependency on social media, something families described in "today"'s deep dive into the impacts of screen time last fall. >> it can be really addicting. >> they can hinder your life more than they do help it. >> instead of liking yourself, it is how much everybody likes you. >> reporter: the report also noting how the freedom of scroll around the clock has been cited as the predominant reason why adolescents are getting less than the recommended amount of sleep. it comes a year after the u.s. surgeon general issued a landmark warning. >> we see loneliness go up in young people. and rates of depression and suicide. i'm concerned social media is a important driver of the youth mental health crisis. this is the defining public health issue of our time. >> reporter: the apa writing, there's been few meaningful changes since then. but some social media companies disagree, including meta, the company behind facebook and instagram, which recently launched nighttime nudges to

push young people to close the apps. and now also allows parents to schedule breaks for their kids on the platforms. without laying out specific changes, the apa says there mus on social media companies to protect their youngest users, but parents can help to. they recommend all devices in the household go on top of the fridge at 9:00 p.m. hey, it can help adults, too. >> yeah, unless you have a ladder because then those kids will go up and grab it. let's bring in tom carson, a family psychiatrist who wrote about the impact of smartphones. none of this will come as a surprise to you whatsoever. but just on that point, we could be waiting around forever for these social media and technology companies to do the they're not gonna. it's really up to parents, isn't it? >> certainly. these companies, social media companies, they're in a business

of having people's eyeballs on their products as long as possible. it's how they make their money. me when i'm out there lecturing, i have a lecture tomorrow night, i speak specifically to parents and kids, give them the information they need to understand, you know, what this is doing to kids brains, their mental health. and, you know, i really implore parents, i try to empower them to take control under your own roof, one household at a time. >> one of the most interesting things i read in the note is the brain is most pliable for a child between the ages of 0 and 1 and then in puberty, when the kids are knee deep into those smartphones. what kind of damage can be done there? >> yeah. the young brain has this area called the prefrontal cortex which doesn't fully develop until 25 years old. so it renders kids more likely to be impulsive and do risky things. they can't help themselves with that immediate gratification, even if they're thinking what the long-term consequences are. it's certainly having an impact there.

>> an algorithm, social media or even smartphones in the ding of getting a text, it is designed to trigger your dopamine levels so you are basically getting an drug hit, an internal drug hit every single time. and then we're expecting that not to have a long-term effect on these developing brains? >> i tell people, kids are basically walking around with a never-ending iv drip. >> wow. >> of dope mean. and they all target the pleasure-seeking part of the brain. when that stimuli is removed, i take the phone away, i see this on a daily basis in my private practice, kids have a crash. and a absolute meltdown. >> you were saying it is like withdrawal. it is like a drug withdrawal. and you are seeing more violence in kids because of that. >> i will have parents call me up, 10, 11-year-old kids who has holes in his wall. got physical with the mom. and kid comes to my office, little, nice-looking kid. literally, that's the withdrawal. you take a drug away, we have this balance. it's called homeostasis. imbalance, stimuli is removed, bang, you react mentally and physically. >> i feel like a lot of parents are trying.

and there are movements. savannah is part of one, too. i want to be part of one to stop smart phones from being in the hands of kids. but sometimes you're up against it because they get their school homework on the smart phone or on the ipad and the kid needs the technology or the parent -- some parents believe they need to keep up with their kid. >> now the smart phone, i'm a big believer -- schools shouldn't have phones even entering the school building. the problem is really with the parents because it's become like the umbilical cord. >> that's a problem, too. >> it really. but just a distraction. kids have it in their pockets during the school day. >> what about getting assignments and stuff kids feel i need it. so i have to have this. >> unfortunately, you know a lot of academics right now is done through laptops and ipads. sometimes there's assignments on the phone. >> but that's different than a smart phone. i think -- it feels like the emerging consensus is that you should try to delay a smart phone until at least high school. social media, surgeon general says not before 16.

and why aren't these schools just banning phones during school hours? i've seen in the high school where my kids go, kids on -- in between periods they're checking their phones. recess they're checking their phone. no one is looking at each other development.o each other. they're not doing what you and i are doing right here. the reason why schools are hesitant to do it is because they're afraid of litigation. the parents feel like they need to know where their kids are all the time. like i said, it is like an >> precisely. banned phones is unbelievable. mental health episodes down substantially. test scores up. >> i mean, the irony that -- and we all are saying, we're parents. there's no shame in anyone's game. but when you look at the research like that, you want to be attached to your kid because you want them to be safe. they would be a lot safer at school having a normal school day without a smart phone. >> yep. that's it.

>> there's a lot of -- we could go on and on. this is my rant for today. but there are a lot of gadgets now that are available, either a dumb phone, a flip phone or there's the gizmo watch or things where you can text mom and say, hey, i made it here. walking home now, see you in 20 minutes. that are the smart phones that go right to kid's dope mean center. >> the gabb wireless, g-a-b-b. it looks exactly like your wireless. we call it a dumb phone. all you can do is text, make phone calls. there's no internet access. you have a young kid, only one that doesn't have a phone, that can -- >> you only text -- set up to be able to text. >> yeah. >> just whoever is in your contacts. >> we could go on and on. we're on fire. i mean. on the mommy warpath. okay. but thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we want to send it over to al. >> get it done, people! come on. how hard is this! any way, we're looking at beautiful day here in the northeast. record highs through the southeast and gulf, looking for severe storms in the mid

oh, hoda? we are back at 8:35 with a hollywood legend, michael douglas. after more than 50 years in front of and behind the camera, he's taking on a whole new era in the new apple tv plus series in "franklin" that explores the period of time where benjamin franklin traveled to france

using his ample american charm to win support. [speaking in a global language] >> what on earth are you meant to be? >> an american. >> michael douglas, good morning. >> hi. good morning, savannah. nice to see you. >> you too. you are doing something you have never done before. never done a period piece. >> never done one. >> were you afraid of powdered wigs? >> no. i was afraid of my legs in tights. i have skinny legs. >> i don't know. i think you wear it well. ben franklin is so iconic, but a really colorful and charismatic character. people say he's the founding father you want to hang out with. >> i'd say that's true. he's an extraordinary guy. i knew him in sixth grade class. he was a guy who only went to school for two years, formal school training.

left school at 12 and then went on to be this voracious writer, publisher, editor. he created the university of pennsylvania, created our postal service, libraries. and then all the inventions he made, all of that. >> the lightning rod. >> so he was just an amazingly well-versed super intelligent guy. but our series "franklin" is about a unique time i didn't know, which is when he was 70 after he signed the declaration of independence in 1776, six weeks later, the founding fathers say, look, we're in big trouble. we were in a war with england. we have a tattered army. george washington can't hold off. we need you, ben, to sail across the atlantic. way which in 1800s was like 90 days. >> it wasn't a luxury cruise liner. >> it was not a luxury cruise. and we need you to talk to king louis xvi, head of the largest

monarchy to support this brand new democracy. he had no real background in this. it was all by improvisation, filled with the thieves and spies that are going on. and it was an extraordinary france, america would never have existed. it would have been a colony. so we have a lot to thank the french for. >> absolutely. not to overstate the parallels here, i mean, ben franklin did something out of his comfort zone. >> right. >> you are doing something out of your comfort zone. you could just be resting on your ample laurels. you played iconic character after iconic character. i was going through them today. dan from "fatale he was such a jerk. in the end, don't you think? >> well, he got away with it. >> yeah, he did. he did. i mean, what made you -- what still gives you that drive to

stretch? >> trying something new. you know, at this point in my career the last few years what haven't i done. when i try to do comedy, i did this show. a green screen movie, so i did the antman i had never done a green screen movie, so i did the antman series. this was a period picture. in my 50 plus years i had never done a period film. so i wanted to do that. at the same time, i learned this extraordinary amount about history of our country and the kind of parallels that exist today in terms of the struggles that we're having and appreciating just how valuable independence and democracy is. >> yeah. i mean, it was franklin who famously said, you have a republic if you can keep it. it is so very fragile. can we just have a little fun? who is the character you were happiest to say good-bye to that you played? >> happiest to say good-bye to.

>> or least liked? >> oh, i would have to say maybe the guy in "black rain." i was happy to say good-bye to him. maybe the character in "the war of the roses" reminded me too much of myself. >> that's interesting. >> yeah, yeah. >> what about the falling down guy? >> that's true. defense. that's a very good one. yeah, defense. once you got across l.a., i think it was time for him to go. but he did. he went. >> i mean, who's been your favorite, the character you love and would even want to play again if you could? >> well, i hate to say liberace. but i had a lot of fun with liberace. "romancing the stone" was fun. that character jack colten. i would enjoy the ones that had a little franklin flair to them, you know, a little tongue and cheek, a little humor, try to be a little witty but be a bad boy. >> when you look back at all the films you have done, you are so often at a zeitgeist moment.

i mean, i think about -- yeah, the american president but even fatal attraction. >> right. >> and -- >> "china syndrome". all that. wolf of wall street. >> "one flew over the cuckoo's nest," "wall street." how does that happen to you? are you just good at picking your projects? >> i think so. i always think about not my part but the material, you know, whether i'm producing it or not. in other words, i want to make sure that the script the story is good. and then i'm attracted to sort of ambivalent characters. i like the audience guessing or i like being sort of a bad guy and the audience isn't going to root for you and then you win them other. those are the sort of challenges. but it is all about the material and less about the part. >> finally, you and catherine are empty nesters now. but it looks like if i'm looking at instagram correctly, you guys are having fun. you're traveling the world a little bit? >> we are. catherine and i are blessed with the fact that our kids, dylan and carys, still like to travel

with us. we finished five weeks in india around christmastime. >> wow. >> we're always planning next year what our trips will be and where we're going to go. >> is it fun to hang out with your adult kids? >> it is just a treat, you know? especially when you are not forcing them. catherine, they actually want to hang out with us. it's good. but we got good trips. we seduce them with good places to go. >> exactly. if you want to do like a road trip, you might not get such good responses. thank you so much. it is good to catch up with you. >> thank you, savannah. my pleasure. good to see you. >> you're back with more in our next hour. and you can catch "franklin" streaming right now on apple tv plus. new episodes every friday. hoda, over to you. beautiful conversation, sg. coming up next, jill is here with us for special deals and steals for mother's day. but, first, this is "today" on nbc.
