6:02 am
first today is the release of those two american who had been held captive in north korea. kenneth bae and matthew miller arriving at a military base in washington state to the embrace of their families. >> in an unusual twist, the two men were accompanied by james clapper, the director of national intelligence. we have all the late breaking details. >> president obama approved this mission last week and some members of congress were given a heads up. hard to overstate the surprising details of plan. the highest ranking u.s. officials in more than a decade, visiting one of the most secretive places on earth. at the end of it all was a jubilant reunion. >> for kenneth bae, this was the embrace he waited two long years to feel. >> i want to thank you all for supporting me, lifting me up and not forgetting me. >> he touched down at a military
6:03 am
base outside of seattle. and with him, matthew todd miller, who arrived intoes his parents awaiting arms. it was a dramatic and emotional end to their imprisonment. it was headed by james clapper, after a sensitive of back channel negotiations that included china. >> there are ways in which they can communicate with us largely through their mission to the u.n. in new york. this was the final step in a very well choreographed ballet. >> he carried a short message from president obama, but officials say north korea wasn't offered anything in return. >> well, i think it's a wonderful day for the men and their families, obviously. we're very grateful for their safe return. >> miller allegedly ripped up his veisa when he arrived in north korea and was convicted of espionage. bae had been hospitalized after

6:05 am
when you were released, you expressed mixed emotions that bae and miller was staying behind. how did you feel upon learning about their release? >> i was elated. >> that news of the release came very quickly. as i understand it, you were told you were being released, that actually came pretty quickly to you too. you were awaiting trial at the time. when did you believe that it was real that you were going home? >> like i said, at previous interviews, that took me by surprise. i thought i was going to a prosecutorial procedure, indictment, arraignment ask or maybe the trial itself it wasn't i was seated at the conference table a north korean official told me i was being released and immediately two american dod folks said you are going home. half hour later i was airborne
6:06 am
and coming home. >> it's incredible to think about. you were kept separate from kenneth bae and miller matthew but as i understand it, you are realizing you may have been in pretty close proximity to one another not that long ago. can you tell us about that? >> right. i had no contact with them at all in dprk and information in general was hard to come by. it was like an information vacuum for the most part. just yesterday i realized that during those interviews on september 1st, i think it was, that three of us may have been in the same building together, but i had no indication of that at the time. >> were they ever mentioned to you by any of the north koreans or did you ever ask about them? >> i did. i had heard -- i had known about kenneth bae's story before i even came to the dprk. no. he had been sentenced to 15 years right before i left for the dprk and while on the trip,
6:07 am
a tour portion of my trip, i heard other tour members talk about this other gentleman had been detain just a few weeks before i got there, and i didn't even know his name. all they knew he had ripped his visa. all during his stay, i thought his situation was the same as mine. i didn't recall he had been sentenced and sent to prison. >> i'm sure the three of you will speak and you'll have some interesting insight the time you all spent there. appreciate the time you spent with us. >> i'm available. thank you, erica. let's turn now to the big blast of cold weather that's headed our way. it's not winter yet. it's going to feel like it across most of the country. >> dylan is on top of it. she's already packing her warm weather gear. >> i've got multiple days of warm weather gear packed. it is going to be cold and
6:08 am
stretch across much of the country. 30 plus states will feel this cold air. here's that polar vortex. it will cut off the low and dig all the way down into the united states. that's what's going to be responsible for this extremely cold air, coldest air we have seen so far this season. easily. look at some of our temperatures by 7:00 a.m. wednesday morning. 17 degrees below normal in st. paul, temperatures of 10 degrees. 1 degree in billings. snow, not a whole lot going on right now, but in the next 48 hours, we're going to see snow moving into fargo and minneapolis. we could see as much as a foot of snow in minneapolis. not only are we dealing with the cold, snow, winter sure feels like it's here, lester.

6:11 am
help these red state democrats, none of them came even close in some of these places. i think he's got to act for the good of his own party. what does he do and is it enough that it ends up antagonizing the right. that's a key question. >> you'll be exploring all of it coming up on "meet the press." let's get a check on some of the other stories we're following on this rather busy sunday morning. >> erica, we begin in rauk where -- iraq where u.s. defense officials cannot confirm whether a top air commander was killed. on saturday, at least 43 people were killed after a series of bombings in and around baghdad. >> the nurse at the center of the ebola quarantine controversy is apparently on the move. kaci hickox will leave tomorrow.
