the future. and forgotten? syria's children of war. impacted by the ongoing conflict and the biggest humanitarian crisis of this century, today, tuesday, march 11, 2014. >> from nbc news this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. some big developments to tell you about overnight with the investigation about the plane that's missing. >> that is our top story this morning. those developments in the search for flight 370. we are also learning more about the two men who boarded the malaysian airlines flight using stolen passports and nbc's tom costelo coverses aviation for us. tom, good morning to you. >> good morning. the fourth day for the search for this missing plane is now

wrapping up in asia and still nothing. one of the most baffling events in aviation history upon. now malaysian authorities are considering whether there was a mechanical issue or did someone onboard have a psychological problem? >> for the first time this morning we're getting a look at the two iranian men who boarded flight 370 with stolen passports. malaysian authorities released these photos of delavar seyed mohammed reza and pure i nour mohammadi who was trying to get to germany to be with his mother. they were traveling with stolen passports bought at a travel center by an iranian businessman, both booked as one-way to europe. >> we have been checking and we believe that he is not terrorism. >> while u.s. officials see no connection to terrorism, the

malaysian officials speculated about possible scenarios. >> one is hijacking, two is sabotage, three, psychological problem of the crew and four, personal problem among the passengers and crew. >> for the first time, video of the captain sitting in front of his elaborate inhome simulator. >> this is a youtube video that i made at the community service. >> but what happened to flight 370? cruising at 35,000 feet is supposed to be the safest part of the flight, usually on autopilot, the crew periodically checking in with air traffic controllers. why, without warning, did the pilots stop communicating and then go off radar? so far no one has heard the underwater pinger that should be good for 30 days. no emergency locator beacon

signals and no radar track showing where the plane might be. at flight aware, they try to track planes worldwide, but it's only as good as the local radar technology and in some areas there are big holes in the coverage zones. >> any mistake or technical problem or radar outage along the way can cause either a lack of communication or a lack of radar availability and it's not uncommon. >> all right. an important point, and the east coast and west coast of malaysia. it has now affixed on the strait of malaka, with the potential to fly 3500 miles. back to you. >> tom costello on this story for us. thanks very much. let's go to kuala lumpur this morning. he's got a firsthand look at the desperate search. kir, good morning to you. >> that's right, savannah. what we have heard so far as tom

was saying is that the plane stopped reporting where it was over the south china sea and now we are hearing that it may have spotted something over the strait of malaka and that's where we are today. we joined the malaysian military, a transport plane is now taking part in this desperate mission. we took off from subang air base in malaysia searching for an aircraft now missing for days. the heart of the operation, to find out what happened to flight 370. >> the water stretches out on either side of us. you can see ocean on this side, ocean on that side. the malaka strait is 745 kilometers. >> the malaysian team scour the ocean. while we're in the air they make contact with six other airplanes also looking.

>> we are flying low over the ocean off the coast of malaysia, well below 1,000 feet. it is calm down there, you can see everything and nothing. there's no sign of flight 370. the flight took off from kuala lumpur headed toward beijing. the initial search operation concentrated on the eastern coast of malaysia. it has now been expanded to the west, taking in the strait of malacca, that's where we search today, another day without success. >> how frustrating is it that we still haven't found the aircraft? this team has been out on the water for four days. they will will keep going. while they say this is a search and rescue mig, they still want to find out what happened. while we were up there there was a dramatic moment. the plane flying low by the

ocean turned and flew around and around and around. it was quite stomach turning. they were flying around some debris that they had spotted in the water trying to see what it was. in the end, what they concluded was like the other days, it was left by fishermen. we were searching that 50 kilometers and we were up there for eight hours. >> so there are a lot of unanswered questions tied to both aviation and terrorism. we have two experts this morning. former ntsb investigator greg fife and michael leiter. greg, let's start with you and let's start with this press conference held by the malaysian airline officials saying we haven't ruled anything out, but hijack, sabotage, psychological issues with passengers and crew or personal issues with passenger and crew. shouldn't they put mechanical failure or structural failure right on that list?

>> it's a real curious list, matt, the fact that they came down to four elements right now and ruled out what they think is mechanical problem. they must know something that we apparently don't. they must have additional information or they have decided that they're going to focus on the human aspect. this could be reminiscent of the accident i worked with in the indonesians years ago, silk air 185 where it ended up being that the captain had some personal issues which resulted in an intentional act from taking the airplane from 35,000 feet and crashing it in sumatra. >> and deciding what happens, greg, also impacts where they start to look for this plane, doesn't it? >> absolutely. they've given the coordinates of the last known position. what i don't hear is what altitude that position was at because if it was at 35,000 feet that airplane could still be flying well under any kind of radar coverage for quite a long distance and again, they're

going to do a profile on the captain, the first officer and apparently the rest of the crew to see if there was some intentional act or at least intent by somebody onboard the airplane and not necessarily a group. >> greg, thank you very much. michael leiter, let's turn to you right now. we've learned some things overnight, one of the passengers flying with a stolen passport was 19 years old. he was iranian seeking asylum in germany. does that cross him off the terror list in. >> i wouldn't say crosses him off, but puts him way down. there are the lots of people traveling to western europe for work reasons and this seems to put him in that cat gore. >> both the passengers had their tickets purchased with cash by an iranian middleman, but that iranian middleman stepped forward and contacted authorities when he heard about the stolen documents so where does that road lead? >> most terrorists don't raise

their hand and say we did this. buying in cash, overseas this is extremely common. >> in "the new york times" i had to read this sentence three times to make sure it wasn't a typo. according to interpol, last year about a billion people flew without having their passports checked against interpol's database. that's shocking to me. >> the fact is interpol has this huge database and countries can check that database, but most places in the world, the airlines themselves from the time you check in to get on that plane aren't comparing that data. >> and one last thing on the terrorism front, no group has claimed responsibility. we all know you better than anyone, that one of the goals of terrorism is to destroy your sense of security, but also capabiliti capabilities. wouldn't we have had a claim by this point? >> very likely yes, but not always the case. panam taken down by libyan terrorist services never claimed responsibilities because in that case the state wanted to hide it.

i think it is much less likely terrorism, but it doesn't rule it out. >> michael leiter, thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> natalie is at the news desk with the other top stories. >> we do have breaking news this morning out of washington, d.c., the head of the senate intelligence committee is accusing the cia of a stunning breach of privacy. she says the agency searched congressional computers. nbc's andrea mitchell is in washington with the latest. good morning. >> good morning. dianne feinstein had gone to the fuhr accusing the cia of an illegal and unconstitutional cia search to thwart the senate's investigation into bush-era detention and interrogation practices including waterboarding. why this is important is that those controversial practices took place while the current cia director john brennan was in charge or one of those in charge of the detention and interrogation program. >> i have grave concerns that the cia search may well have

violated the separation of powers, principles embodied in the united states' constitution including the speech and debate clause. >> feinstein says a top cia lawyer is also now trying to intimidate the senate staff from even investigating those past illegal practices by the same lawyer that was involved, she says, in the bush-era interrogations. feinstein says the inspector general of the cia has turned this matter over to the justice department for investigation. natalie? >> we're going to be hearing more about this one. thanks so much from our washington bureau. senate democrats pulled an all-nighter. lawmakers took to the floer to talk about global warming, the dusk to dawn talk athon was expected to go 15 hours. climate change is a question of our own survival. >> fugitive nsa leaker edward snowden answered questions from the public on monday during the south by southwest conference in

austin, texas, and snowden spoke on a web chat from russia after being granted temporary asylum there. the nsa is doing harm to national security and, quote, setting fire to the internet. proof this morning of just how powerful and dangerous an avalanche can be. take a look. this is video from crystal mountain in washington state. the ski patrol used explosives to trigger an avalanche and that wall of snow ended up wiping out a chairlift. the area was closed at the time. fortunately, no one was hurt. a scary moment at an nhl game in dallas, they were talking on the columbus blue jackets star center rich peverley collapsed after having a heart problem. coaches and staffers carried him into the locker room. he spent the night in the hospital and is listed in good condition and he missed the game due to an irregular heartbeat and a baseball fan likely waking up on the couch this morning after confusing his priorities

degrees. looking awfully nice. not so much here as you get into the rockies on into the mid west and later on into new england. the weather channel calling it winter storm vulcan. look at these. we have winter storm warnings and watches stretching from northern new england all of the way into northern and central illinois. this is a fairly rapid system that's developing. you can see snow spreadinging from rapid city all of the way into southern minnesota and it's going to continue to intensify. in pafact, look what we have he, chicago, snowfall rates one to two inches per hour. look for major airport and travel delays. then as we go during the day on wednesday into the afternoon hour, upstate new york on into new england, snowfall rates again of about two inches per hour. zero, visibility and wind gusts of 55 miles per hour and we're talking about the possibility of blizzardlike conditions and those winds will start to wrap around this low pressure system.

the lines of light low pressure are packed together and we're looking at a lot of snow, generally three to six inches of snow around chicago and look at upstate new york, we're talking anywhere from one to two feet of snow and we'll get to your local foreca good tuesday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. look at the clear skies spanning across the bay area. the coast is clear, your inland

valleys are clear and this is going to lead to a warm day with all of that sunshine coming in so early and we have strong high pressure driving our winds offshore. so today, we're actually going to be rivaling temperature records in some cities. a better chance to break records in the next few days as numbers climb. 74 in the east bay. warming trend begins today. kicks in into the end of the week. 3 c3 tiempo chicos. guys? >> all right, al, thank you very much. now to the nbc news special live documentary "forgotten? syria's children of war". for 48 hours we're putting faces to the crisis by following the lives of syrian children by nbc news. more than a million children have been impacted by the conflict and the u.n. is calls this situation the biggest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century. we'll check in with nbc's bill neely in damascus in a moment, but first nancy snyderman is at a syrian border at a hospital in

lebanon and nancy, as we go to you, we want to tell the viewers what you are about to see is distressing, but it is a story that everyone needs to see. upon. >> the hospital is overrun just teaming with syrian refugees with emergency care and people who need basic health care need. unicef has released a report how this is turning into a humanitarian and medical crisis. nbc news has made the commitment to really focus on the invisible faces of this crisis, syria's children. last night we spent the night in this hospital to see what we could see and to see the burden of the humanitarian crisis and these are some of the things that we witnessed. the action here began just a few minutes after midnight. >> you can see how floppy the left arm is. >> an unvaccinated baby arrives paralyzed on the right side.

doctors suspect polio. >> polio? >> yes. >> have you seen this before? >> no. >> if tests come back positive, this will be the first case of polio among the refugees, a concern because this disease can spread quickly especially in crowded refugee camps. >> i'm sorry. >> can you ask the mother when she noticed when the baby was being paralyzed? >> about ten days ago. >> ten days ago? >> this 37-bed hospital has seen the patient load quadruple mostly due to an influx of expectant mothers like 18-year-old ahed, seven months pregnant with twins who arrives just before sunrise. >> like many of the refugee women who come here, she has received little to no prenatal care. and doctors here quickly determine the situation is dire. what was supposed to be a routine c-section suddenly turns

into a hurried vaginal birth without pain medication, but the baby is not breathing. doctors quickly get to work trying to save her while her twin waits to be born and anxious family waits outside. nurses say this was actually a quiet night, but as a new day begins, another steady stream of people turn to this little hospital for help. >> this is little heba, one of the lucky ones who went home as a term baby, but was already hospitalized once with a respiratory infection that's very common for the children here because the stoves are inside the individual homes in the refugee villages. you are looking at the face of syria right here with heba. >> such heartbreaking reality. thank you for your report this morning. >> nbc chief global affairs correspondent, bill neely is in the syrian capital of damascus. bill, good morning to you. >> yes. for children, this country,

syria, is simply the most dangerous place on earth and the casualty rates are horrific. >> more than 10,000 children have been killed and more than 40,000 injured and more than a million are in areas under siege or so close to the front line they can't be helped and millions more rely on outside aid to survive. in the last few minutes we've heard explosions, gun fire and mortar fire here and for children, that's just part of normal life. i've been speaking to some who have had to eat grass and weeds to survive, who have lost their parents. their stories are absolutely heartbreaking and i'll have that and a lot more coming up in the next hour. >> all right, bill neely in damascus. bill, thank you very much. >> i think the natural reaction when you see stuff like that is what can we do to help and carson has been monitoring that and more information on that this morning. >> as you saw the unicef report came out and the numbers are staggering and making a full-blown commitment among all

platforms here at nbc news and let's just highlight one of them again, 1.2 million are refugees and almost half a million in lebanon and that's where we sent an a.p. photographer to put faces, you can see on the board, faces behind these millions of children and at nbc news.com the live documentary is there. you can log on and watch it. here's some of the charities and how you can help. probably the most important information right here, doctors without borders, the save the children, unicef and most importantly go to today.com for more on that. you can follow the conversation sing this elaying this hash tag. #, syria's children. we'll have much more on this throughout the morning. guys? >> thank you. our coverage continues on nbcnews.com and also on "nightly news" and tomorrow right here on "today." coming up, we'll shift gears and award-winning journalist miles o'brien on a seemingly minor injury overseas that

prosecutors say reeva steenkamp's final moments were terrifying. the pathologist who performed her autopsy back on the stand today. >> very graphic details pertaining to some of the injuries and wounds which may be described have the potential to compromise the dignity of the deceased. >> reporter: so the judge cut off the live video feed. in court, oscar was gagging and crying, violently ill as he listened. here's oscar's version. he and reeva went to sleep that night at 10:00 p.m. around 3:00 a.m., he heard what he believed was an intruder hiding in the bathroom, grabbed his gun and fired four times. he says reeva must have gone to the bathroom when he wasn't looking. but the pathologist testified, reeva's bladder was nearly empty, indicating she wouldn't need to go to the bathroom. after autopsy indicates she ate food around 1:00 a.m., long after oscar says they went to bed.

how damaging is this to oscar's defense? >> the pathologist is supporting forensic science, it's evidence, it supports the prosecution's version. i think it's damaging to oscar's version of the story. >> reporter: oscar's defense is that he thought there was an intruder inside his bathroom. something to keep in mind here, home break-ins are a huge problem in south africa. this is oscar's complex behind me. gated community. take a look at this. a huge, concrete wall and on top, that's an electric fence. from middle class communities to the richest of the rich, when you drive around pretoria, security features like this are common. and crime is skyrocketing here. according to police, in 2012 and '13, there were more than 16,000 murders in south africa. that's an average of 45 murders every day. the murder rate, six times higher than the u.s. and listen to this. home burglaries are up sharply too. 262,000 break-ins in 2012 and '13. that's 720 homes every day.

which is why oscar's long-time friends are sticking by his side. >> the oscar i know and the oscar that the track knows is not the oscar that's been described in court. it is not. >> reporter: not reckless? >> no. >> reporter: not a temper? >> definitely not more than anybody else around here. >> reporter: on the stand right now, another one of oscar's friends who was there when oscar allegedly shot a gun out of a car sun roof and also inside a restaurant just weeks before shooting reeva. prosecutors still hammering away this morning at oscar's character. and matt, their narrative that he is reckless with guns. >> jeff rossen covering the trial in pretoria for us this morning. jeff, thanks so much. time to get a check of the weather from al.

way to do it. >> you're in the midst of adjusting to this, as i said, just a few weeks ago this happened. what's your biggest concern? what's your biggest fear going forward? >> well, you know, i want to make sure i still get work. and i've got to say, i've had -- spent such a tremendous outpouring from my pbs family, as well. the news hour, front line, nova, the programs i work for, they have all just reached out to me and said you're still our guy. and that means a lot to me. >> we know and love you as a space geek, science geeb. and there is something kind of interesting about the fact you are now up close and personal with some of these advances in technology. yesterday, you had mirror box therapy. we have of a picture. tell us what this is. >> basically, tricking yourself into believing that your arm is there. you use a mirror, and you look at it and try to move your phantom limb, which i feel very much. match that movement with your -- the limb that's left, and your brain starts thinking, oh, the arm is there. and that alleviates some of this phantom limb pain. i don't think anybody knows why. >> you also had your first

meeting with the doctor about a possible prosthetic. are you hopeful about what you might be able to do? >> well, you know, technology has -- really gone in leaps and bounds. sadly, because of the wars. but that technology is something i will take advantage of as time goes on. you have to sort of decide what you need the device for, the gadget for. and there are attachments for flying airplanes and riding bicycles and shooting video. all things i need and want to do. >> well, i know you've already single handedly opened a bottle of wine. >> yes, i did. >> important task. >> important daily task. >> and zipped up your jacket and tied your shoe. and i know you want to fly again. you are a devoted pilot. >> i hope to do that. >> i want to mention, the whole reason you were overseas was to oh document the third anniversary of the fukushima nuclear plant disaster, a special that airs on pbs. you did get it done. i want to play a little clip of it. >> thank you. >> resembling astronauts on the way to a fully fueled rocket. we don special shoes and hard hats and then boarded a bus that

would get us as close to the meltdowns as the laws of physics and common sense would allow. >> the story seems really important to you personally. >> it is. you know, it's -- an ongoing crisis there. i think we all think it's kind of over. but every day hundreds of thousands of gallons of water get contaminated at that site and have to be tanked up and held there somehow. and some of it is leaking into the pacific ocean. and the whole world needs to pay attention to this and help the japanese as they try to clean that mess up. >> well, it's an extraordinary piece of work and you gave up a lot to bring us this story. miles, thank you for being here. >> you're welcome. >> really nice to see you. want to remind everybody, you can see the report "inside fukushima" tomorrow night on the nbc news hour. coming up, we'll do trending. a little boy's argument for having cupcakes for dinner will definitely put a smile on your face. i think we have a future lawyer there. but up next, carson is in the orange room with what could be the president's most awkward interview ever. right after this. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me,

for malaysia airlines flight 370. that search expanded both at sea and on land. keir, good morning. >> hey, savannah, good morning. we are just hearing from reuters. they are quoting malaysia military saying they believe they tracked their flight 370 to the straits of malacha west of here. at the same time they are saying they released the latitude and longitude when they last heard from the plane itself northeast of here, hundreds of miles. it suggests the plane may have diverted and made a long journey to that ocean, to the west of here. we were on a plane over there joining the search and rescue mission for eight hours. as they flew low over the ocean 500 feet. at one point they turned and turned and turned thinking they had seen debris, but so far they have not seen anything. that investigation into where the plane is continues. the question over what happens

continues. in terms of those stolen passports, they are saying they believe they identified the two men who are holding those stolen passports. one of them a 19-year-old iranian asylum seeker. another they believe may have been an asylum seeker, too. certainly in the case of the iranian, they do not believe he was connected to terrorism. brings us back to the theory something went catastrophically wrong. >> thank you. >> let us go inside. natalie has a check of the other stories making headlines. good morning again. >> good morning to you guys once again. in the news this morning, the civil war in syria has now left 5 1/2 million children in need of urgent humanitarian aid. unicef says that number doubled in just one year. nbc's chief global affairs correspondent bill neely is in damascus with more on these forgotten victims. >> reporter: even this region, the mideast, has never seen a deadlier civil war.

the u.n. now says this is the most dangerous place on earth for children. some of their stories, especially in one suburb under siege not far from here, well they are simply heartbreaking. they live amid war. they have seen things no child should see. this is their escape to dance. in a quiet corner are other children who were starved and bombed behind the front lines. haunted by what was done to them. "we picked grass and wheat to eat," says muhammed, who is small for 12. "we also bought bags of wheat to eat for $3." the children were hungry and under siege for a year, and they are orphans now. their father presumed killed, their mother gone, their bodies bearing scars of war.

"i was shot at, hit by shrapne shrapnel." it is a heartbreaking story, one of so many. four children whose fathers have been killed. just under the surface smiles, deep pain. this boy describes how his father was shot dead. the details unlocking a young girl's grief. rodana and dana can't hold their tears back. dana describes how her father was dragged away by gunman and never came back. when little leila tells her father's story, rodana finds the courage to speak. "he tried to keep us safe," she says. he wants to be a doctor to make his dead father proud and they want comfort, like so many children living through this brutal war.

a war, natalie, that has now claimed the lives of more than 10,000 children, more than 40,000 injured, more than a million in urgent need of help. it is simply the greatest humanitarian crisis of our times. >> heartbreaking there bill neely in damascus, syria, thank you. refugees have been streaming into lebanon. dr. nancy schneider remains at the border where children are getting medical care. >> good morning, natalie, this hospital is almost a turnstile for infectious diseases. there is one case of suspected polio upstairs that really has doctors on edge. we are awaiting blood samples and spinal fluid samples being processed in cairo right now. an 18-year-old who delivered two babies, we'll have an update on her condition tonight on "nightly news."

seems to increase the couple's chance of divorce. >> i call it shacking up. >> okay. now they found a startling answer. it doesn't. it turns out divorce has little to do with cohabitation. >> okay. this is really interesting, actually. the study comes from the council on contemporary families. and the researchers say the real question you is should be asking is how old were you when you first started living together. if you move in with your partner before age 23, the study finds you are more likely to split later. but if you move in together later in life, apparently it is not a big indicator of divorce. >> show of hands then. who here on the panel lived with their partner before getting married? >> i still do and i'm not married. >> exactly. >> over the age of 23. shacking up. >> for six months before we got married. >> okay. >> what about you? >> which time? >> all right, casanova. >> well, speaking of love and marriage, we've got some great news for all the brides-to-be out there. h & m revealing a new bridal

well, how should young women use the majority of their time in college? susan patton, so-called princeton mime, started a firestorm last year. >> here's my advice for the young women of princeton, the young daughters i never had. >> princeton alumnist and mother of two boys, susan patton, set off a huge debate with her provocative advice in the newspaper. >> here's what nobody is telling you. find a husband on campus before you graduate. yes, i went there. >> the letter went viral, with over 100 million hits around the world. and now she's written a book. when she enters college, your daughter will never again be as young, as beautiful, as attractive to men or as fertile, she wrote. encourage her to make the best use of this time.

>> what! oh, my god! >> i'm an independent woman who don't need no man. >> i plan on being successful, independent and finding a man. >> a measure of self reliance and creativity is the ability to make it yourself. learn how to bake bread. >> should be baking bread? wow, that's ridiculous. >> until you find a spouse, i would advise you invest your effort in energy, at least 75%, in searching for a partner. and 25% in your professional development. >> i teach "pride and prejudice" in high school and this woman is archa archaic. that was writing in the 1700s. next thing you know, she will want parents to give do you res for their kids. >> good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. >> fair warning, some people will be cheering you at the end of this segment, others will be throwing their eggs at the tv. >> powdered eggs, that's fine. >> basically doubling down on the thesis of your letter. >> that's right. >> basically, you think college-age women should spend

the majority of their time looking for a husband. >> i'm saying that college-age women should multitask while they're on campus. they have to start putting in place plans for their personal happiness, because they will never again have this concentration of extraordinary men to choose from. >> but let me drill down a little bit. you actually write in the book -- >> yeah. >> a woman should spend 75% of her time thinking about her personal life and finding a man. >> yes. >> and 25% on her professional development. >> that's right. >> that doesn't seem exactly balanced. that seems out of whack in the other direction. >> the reason it's out of whack, work can wait. you can make up lost time at work. if you invest 10 or 12 years doing nothing but planning your career, you're going to find yourself in the mid to late 30s and opportunity to bury your children -- and you know my advice is not intended for everybody, but for young women who know they want to have children, you can't delay that. work will wait. your fertility won't. so, yes, i'm saying double down,

spend 75% of your time planning your personal happiness, putting in place the things you need to ensure you reach your personal goals. >> you advise people to be pretty aggressive about their pursuit. >> yeah. >> i wonder, are you sure that's not counter to the goal of finding a man? because some guys might not find it totally appealing a woman is so desperate to look for a man and find a husband and have kids. >> well, i certainly understand that. and my advice clearly is for women, not for men. men have a whole different field. they can take their whole lives to get married and have children. but women just don't have that kind of time. so, again, my advice is for women who know that they want -- part of their life goal is to have children in a traditional marriage, you're not getting any younger. you have to get to this. you have to plan for it. >> you've got some doozies in this book. here's a quote. prepare yourself to be as socially successful in college as possible.

if you require major body work, get it done in high school. are you saying what i think you're saying? >> yes, i am. >> weight loss surgery. >> if that's what it comes to. >> or cosmetic surgery. >> if that's what it comes to, yes. because if you enter your college years not in your best form, not feeling as good as you can feel about yourself, you'll hamper your own chances for personal happiness, as well as professional success. >> okay. another one. if you are too drunk to speak, then you may be incapable of saying no or warding off unwanted advances. >> that's right. >> and then it's all on you. please spare me your blaming the victim outrage. >> totally on women. and i think it's a mistake to say -- wait a minute. it's a mistake to say to young women, men shouldn't abuse you if it you are vulnerable. and i'm saying to young women, don't allow yourself to be vulnerable. >> i think people understand women, don't put yourself in a bad position. >> right. >> but to say it's all on them if a man rapes them. >> no, no, no. it's all on them to not put themselves in a position where

they are vulnerable to being abused or mistreated by a man. you can't allow yourself to be so drunk or so stoned you can't get up and walk out if you feel like, whoa, this is going in a way i'm not happy with or if you're feeling threatened. you have to get up and leave. it's all on women and it's dangerous to say to women you can count on men to act responsibly. maybe they will. i hope they do. most men do. but at the end of the day, women have to bear complete and total control of themselves and responsibility for their safety. >> very quickly. there are so many controversial things in this book. i started to wonder, did you write this for the sole purpose of being provocative? >> never. i'm not a provocative person. i'm an honest person. i don't care so much about being politically correct. i care more about speaking the truth authentically. i don't care about popular opinion. doesn't matter to me. yes, i absolutely believe with all my heart that this is solid and good advice. >> susan

gourmet burger company. how did you find this challenge? was it hard for you? >> i mean, no. we've been doing our best. we have taken on the challenge, and just giving it our best shot. >> all right. let's take a look at the commercial you two produced. >> charleston gourmet burger was amazing. >> so, so good. >> oh, yeah. >> at charleston gourmet burger company, we respect the flavor. >> it is everything that you want a marinated sauce to be. >> our all-natural, gluten-free gourmet burger marinade and sauce tastes amazing! and seasons meat to perfection. not just for burgers! tastes great on chicken, turkey, pork and more. >> cheers! charleston gourmet. >> i want to mention, the "today" show staff helped with the editing only with that. >> that's correct. >> how did they do? >> i tell you what i love you did, you got some of your customers to give feedback, automatic endorsement inside the spot. and i also like the fact you

talked about it's more than burgers. great job. good energy. >> okay. >> let's move on. next commercial from greg and jimmy, two armadillos, these are the chickpea guys. did you find creating a commercial to be a difficult task? >> we thought it was awesome. we were so excited to have the chance to showcase our product and show how real people might enjoy it. >> all right. let's take a look at what you came up with. >> eating better is tough. when you're as busy as we are. two armadillos makes it easy by hand-roasting organic chickpeas in olive and coconut oil and seasoning with spices and no surprise additives. with four delicious choices like cinnamon toast and tomato basil, there is a flavor for everyone. whether we're at home or on the go, chickpeas are a tasty snack i feel good about feeding to family and friends. two armadillos. better and better for you. >> marcus? >> i really liked that they told me how they make the product. they showed me the product

on-screen, told me how natural it was and told me it was on the go, and i like the fact they used a woman as opposed to them. that's the ultimate buyer in the marked. market. >> so you rebounded after the craft project last week. >> okay. they did okay. >> this all boils down now to which company you think you would like to make an investment in. >> it does. and that's a surprise to them. they're not aware of that. so you're giving it away a little bit but that's okay. >> come on. >> let me tell you where we're at on the charleston burger sauce. it's a very competitive space. and what i worry about, how do you get shelf space in the marketplace. how do you difficult yourself. and so while i love the product, and i love you guys, i struggle with how you're going to enter the market in a broader way. and so what i want to do is change it up a little bit. i'm going to give you a check for $25,000. to do one thing. and that's to go back and do research and development and come up with additional products that we can get a whole set,

whether it's spices, or whether it's additional sauces, we're going to do that. but more importantly, i do a program called grill fest. every may, it's the biggest event we have. i see over 5 million people. your product and your company is going to be featured in our catalogs and our flyers at 120 stores nationwide. you leave here today with that, plus $25,000. >> wow, thank you. >> thank you! >> and so this is a real check. >> make sure he signs it. >> this is a real check, i'm anxious for you to put into developing your product and growing it. >> okay. >> appreciate it. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> here's my issue with you guys. i love the product. and i love you guys. i don't like your packaging. but i believe that the reason this product is a good investment for someone like me, there is not a lot out there in

we've been following the last couple of days. day four for the search for missing malaysia airlines. no trace of it. search area including the east and west coast of malaysia. seven hours of fuel were onboard. the plane had the potential to fly 3,500 miles. family of missing passengers, many waiting in beijing, understandably have become frustrated and angry. during a briefing monday, relatives threw water bottles at officials. they want some answers. this morning officials speculated about four possible scenarios. this is total speculation because we haven't found it. one is hijacking, another is sabotage, psychological problems of passenger or crew and personal problems among passengers and crew. there is amateur video of the captain sitting in front of his elaborate inhome simulator. 53-year-old pilot who has been with malaysia airlines since 1981. you have new information? >> there are reports, this is

reported by reuters that malaysia military believes it has tracked a missing jetliner by raid over the straits of malaka. there are no signs yet. they believe they have tracked something there to the west coast. it shows they expanded that search area. it has definitely gone -- they do believe the plane may have made that turn around. by sea and by land they are searching, as well. >> back to the list of options they are looking at. one of the things everyone noted is mission is mechanical. catastrophic mechanical problem is not on the list of scenarios. that is something people have taken note of today, as well. >> how do you know until you recover the plane and look at the black box? if you look at the list of scenarios they are looking at right now from the health of the passengers to the mental health of the pilot, it's not on that list. we need more details on what

funny. >> i like that. >> and president obama was interviewed on -- take a look. >> i think you can't run three times, you know. >> actually, i think it's a good idea. if i ran a third time, it would be like doing a third "hangover" movie. didn't work out very well, did it? >> you said if you had a son you would not let him play football. what makes you think he would want to play football? what if he was a nerd like you? >> you think a woman like michelle would marry a nerd? why don't you ask her whether she thinks i'm a nerd. >> could i? >> no. i'm not going to let her near you. >> i love it. when he first starts the sketch he shushes the president. oh, my god. only one person in the world who has ever done that. >> do you think the president has questions in advance? >> it's scripted. it is scripted. >> there is no question. >> it's all about the delivery. it's about the delivery.

found this tweet from you with this picture. rollers in your hair? >> no. that is my hair. >> oh, wow! oh, man! >> i'm sorry. put that picture back up. >> oh, snap! >> it's the people in the back. >> i couldn't see it the first time. >> girlfriend, you did not go there. >> no, you didn't! >> look at that. my hairstylist is also your hairstylist. >> this picture actually predicted the future. britney is amazed at what you just said. >> this is the first time i'm seeing the picture, excuse me. >> have you ever seen tamron's hair? >> somebody will support me on this. >> you will never see tamron in rollers at work. >> there is orange in the back. >> you will never see me in

clothing and then, wait for it, wait for it, here goes a kid in the second. dad is putting his wallet. the security guard got the baby just in the nick of time. which dad got reamed the most when he got home? >> if the mother wasn't there he was blurred out. >> you know your baby. >> if you ever managed going through airport security, it's so hard. >> come on. >> what do you do? it's hard to find a place. >> forget it if you're wearing rollers. that's really hard to settle out. wow. we've got a storm to talk about. this one we are calling vulcan from our friends at the weather channel. we have winter storm warnings up from upstate new york, new england, all the way to chicago. we've got winter storm watches, winter weather advisories. you can see the snow is already getting itself together throughout the dakotas. it's going to be pushing to the

do you see the spirits around you? is that how you're able to get in touch with them? >> it's interesting. i don't see spirits the way we see here in the physical world. but when i walked in the orange room, i immediately felt a mother and father present but they were separate. and the father energy told me he passed from alzheimer's and/or dementia, unable to communicate in the end. and when i was with one of the young ladies here, i kept seeing her mother following her around. so i said, excuse me, did you lose your mom, which i don't usually see spirits. i thought, this place is crazy in the morning. >> you're talking about leslie fagan, our stage manager, right? leslie? >> yep. >> did theresa have that right? >> she absolutely does. >> and have you ever spoken to theresa before about this? >> never. and i didn't ask it theresa -- stage managing and putting her in her spot and she got me. >> what's the feeling when you heard that from her? >> it didn't surprise me. because i feel my mother's presence all of the time. >> wow. >> this month, more so than of. and she was exactly right.
