raging wildfire in canada. dozens of homes destroyed. crews struggling to contain the flames. officials asking for military assistance. cry for help. was prince one day away from getting treatment for an alleged addiction to painkillers when he died? a disturbing new report that can shed light on the pop icon's desperate final hours today, wednesday, may 4th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. savannah, how many mornings have we come on the air where we said, we have a lot of interesting news to talk about in politics. >> if you went to bed early, you missed a lot. an earthquake in the political world. >> it is our top story. let's get to the results from indiana and what happened next. donald trump's double digit win, combined with ted cruz's

decision to end his campaign, all but assures trump of assuring the republican nomination. when you look at the delegate count, he's less than 200 away from the 1,237 he needs to make it official. we're going to talk to donald trump live in just a moment. >> on the democratic side, bernie sanders pulled off an upset in indiana, slowing hillary clinton's march to the nomination. she holds a large lead in delegates, but sanders is saying, although narrow, he does see a path to victory. >> as you'd imagine, we have all the twists and turns covered, starting with the republicans and nbc national correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hi, matt. good morning. just think about this for a second. the latest surprise in an election full of them, the fact that the republican primary is wrapping up before the democratic one. ted cruz laying all his chips on the table in indiana, but donald trump racking up his seventh straight win. even with john kasich vowing to stick around, trump all but assures the republican

nomination. from real estate tie con -- tycoon to republican nominee in less than 11 months -- >> we will make america great again. we will start winning again. you will be so proud of this country very, very soon. >> reporter: donald trump strikingly subdued, vowing to unite the gop and the country after a contentious primary campaign. >> we're going to love each other. we're going to cherish each other. we're going to take care of each other. >> reporter: trump setting his sights on the woman who could stand between him and the white house. >> we're going after hillary clinton. she will not be a good president. she will be a poor president. >> reporter: rnc chairman reince priebus calling trump the presumptive gop nominee, insisting we all need to yunite and focus on defeati ining clin #neverclinton. hours after a conspiracy theory of cruz's father linked to oswald's assassination of jfk --

a gracious trump tried to bury the hatchet. >> i don't know if he likes me or doesn't like me, but he's one hell of a competitor. >> we are suspending our campaign. >> reporter: in indiana, cruz's concession left many supporters, even staffers, stunned. >> from the beginning, i said i would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory. tonight, i'm sorry to say -- >> no! >> -- it appears that path has been foreclosed. >> no! >> reporter: cruz notably never mentioning trump by name. adding insult to injury, an accidental elbow to wife heidi's face. cruz's speech punctuating a wild

day, saving his anti-trump tirade for last. >> this man is a pathological liar. donald trump is a serial philanderer and boasts about it. >> reporter: traditional republicans rally behind the billionaire, many other conservatives distraught. >> i have always, always gotten behind whoever won. it is the first time ever i will not be able to do that. >> reporter: new this morning, nbc news has learned that the trump cam spain beginning to vet vice presidential candidates. trump saying it'll likely be someone with political experience. consider, there is an ugly general election fight looming. just last night, strong words from democratic senator elizabeth warren. tweeting, there is more enthusiasm for donald trump among leaders of the kkk than leaders of the political party he now controls. matt and savannah? >> peter alexander, thank you. donald trump is the presumptive nominee according to his own party, and no one saw it coming.

>> the race is not over, and donald trump is not going to be the nominee of this party. >> i will support the republican nominee. i don't think that's going to be donald trump. >> i believe that donald trump will not be the nominee. >> he's not going to be the nominee. he's not a serious candidate. he's an entertainer. >> what i am firmly convinced of is donald trump will not be our nominee. >> donald trump is not going to be the republican nominee. >> donald trump is not going to be the republican nominee. >> guess what? >> he's the republican nominee, according to the republican party this morning. donald trump is with us now on the phone. mr. trump, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> were you surprised ted cruz dropped out of the race? >> i was surprised. i didn't expect it. i heard rumors in the afternoon, but in the end, look, he was a very tough competitor. he fought very hard, and it was a tough decision for him to make. i think he did the right thing for himself and the party. but it was a little bit of a surprise to me, yes. >> have you reached out to call him?

has he called you? >> i haven't yet. he hasn't. but i would certainly expect to be talking to ted. >> do you really think, mr. trump, he can put aside all the things you've said about him and he's said about you and support you? >> i really don't know. in case of other people, i really don't care, but in ted's case, i hope so. it traveled along. all of a sudden, i was saying, when is this going to end? it ended a couple of months ago. he fought very hard. >> one of the people you spoke to was reince priebus, the head of the rnc, who called you the presumptive nominee of the party. can you characterize that phone call for me? did he pledge to you that he will now put the weight of the entire party and all of the assets it brings with it behind your candidacy? >> yes, he did. and he really -- he's doing a

very good job. not an easy job. we started off with 17 people. all very talented people. he was put in a tough position. i think it's probably about the largest group of people ever. in fact, when i first announced just before that, there were pundits saying, this is the greatest group, one of the most talented groups of people in the history of either party to run for office. i almost said, what am i doing running? the fact is, he called up last night. we had a great talk. yeah, he's behind it 100%. the victory in indiana was amazing because it was far greater than anybody thought. and it was, you know, very conclusive. i think that really turned a lot of heads. >> mr. trump, this is a time that you are trying to unify the republican party. yesterday morning, you went on a morning show and suggested that ted cruz's father, rafael cruz, may have somehow been involved in, of all things, the jfk assassination. why in the world would you do that?

>> savannah, i was on a show, and they played a clip of ted's father, who is very active in the campaign. it's not like he is an inactive person. >> but there is no evidence of this. >> excuse me. he said, you know, very nasty things about me. then i just asked about stories that were appearing all over the place. not just in the national inquirer. about the fact a picture was taken of him and lee harvey oswald. they didn't deny the picture. i just asked, what was that all about? this was in response to some very, very nasty -- i mean, honestly, very, very nasty remarks made about me. >> mr. trump, i guess what savannah is getting at here, on the morning you had this in your grasp and you were seeing the polls indicating that you were going to win this, and perhaps go on to become the nominee, why take that opportunity at that moment to go back into the gutter? >> well, because i didn't know i had it in the grasp. i mean, i didn't know i was going to win by such a big margin. i won by a massive margin, and

the people of indiana, i'm thankful to them. i had no idea early in the morning. the voting booths were practically not open when i made a call to this show. they ran a clip of some terrible remarks made by the father about me. all i did is refer him to these articles that appeared about his picture. you know, not such a bad thing. >> in closing here, ten seconds i have left, are you fully confident, mr. trump, you can unite the republican party behind you? >> i am confident that i can unite much of it. some of it, i don't want. there were statements made about me that those people can go away and maybe come back in eight years, after we serve two terms. but honestly, there are some people i really don't want. i don't think it is necessary. people will be voting for me, not the party, and i think we'll do well against hillary. she is a disaster, and she will be a disastrous president. >> donald trump, congratulations on a big win in indiana. >> thank you very much.

let's move to the democrats and the big upset by bernie sanders over front runner hillary clinton. sanders says he sees more wins in his future. nbc's andrea mitchell has more on that and her exclusive conversation with secretary clinton. andrea, good morning to you. >> good morning. hillary clinton knows her likely opponent in the fall, but as ted cruz clears the decks for donald trump, bernie sanders is vowing to fight on to several more states, all the way to the convention. >> reporter: bernie sanders with surprisingly big win over hillary clinton in indiana. >> i understand that secretary clinton thinks that this campaign is over. i've got some bad news for her. >> reporter: at one point, interrupted on stage by two undocumented immigrants. >> i think we can pull off one of the great political upsets in the history of the united states. >> reporter: just hours earlier,

a confident clinton seemingly dismissing sanders. >> he has every right to finish out this primary season. >> is he hurting the party? >> well, the facts are pretty clear. i'm 3 million votes ahead of him. >> reporter: staying home on election night, her campaign statement ignoring sanders. instead, taking on trump. saying, with so much at stake, donald trump is simply too big of a risk. >> is he unqualified to be commander in chief? >> he has given no indication he understands the gravity of the responsibilities that go with being commander in chief. >> before she gets to trump, hillary clinton has to get past sanders, whose challenge remains explaining, is his campaign a movement without a credible path to the nomination? matt and savannah. >> andrea mitchell in washington, thank you. let's break things down with chuck todd, nbc's political director and moderator of "meet the press." and nbc political analyst nicolle wallace and steve kornacki, msnbc host. raise your hand if you were

surprised ted cruz dropped out last night. no? no and no? raise your hand if you think donald trump can unite the republican party behind him. all right. chuck, you didn't raise your hand for any of those. let's start with you. what was your reaction last night? >> well, not surprised that cruz dropped out. he had no rational. he did everything. to his credit, they put everything out there in the last week. they tried every trick in the book. it's amazing that in one week's time, he named a running mate, got the deal with john kasich. think about everything that happened in the last seven days in the run-up to indiana. you can't say cruz didn't try everything. he had no choice but to get out. as far as uniting the republican party, even trump knows he's not going to unite the republican party. the question is, what is this group of people going to do, and can they do anything other than complain on twitter? >> chuck, that brings us to nicolle, who gave us the itsy bitsy sign, uniting the republican party. if there is a group of

republicans that won't vote for donald trump, what does that mean for the general election? don't you have to start with your party before you consider a general election win? >> it's establishment figures who write columns, people who are able to express to large audiences and groups their discontent with the way this ended up. the reason i said little is you can unite the voters. what is really important to not miss or not pass over today, before we turn to the general, is that donald trump's candidacy was about shock and awe. he shocked the republican establishment and left his base of supporters in awe of how he was going to do what no one has done before. what they saw as telling the truth, giving them straight talk and toppling an incredibly

accomplished field of 17 gop candidates in short order. >> to go back to savannah's point, he shocked the republican establishment. he now needs the republican accomplishment to win the general election. >> yeah, i think two things to keep in mind. one thing she was saying is absolutely true. one thing that has been revealed over the last couple weeks, couple months, is there was a disconnect between the voices, a lot coming from washington, republican leaders, saying never trump. we connected them, and i think wrongly, a lot of people in the media, to rank and file republican voters. it's where this notion came from. donald trump only won 35% of the vote. only 40% here. that means 65% of republicans ever never vote for him. wisconsin is a turning point. guess what? since wisconsin, donald trump hasn't been south of 50%. seven straight states, over 50%. that was a republican party more willing to come to this guy than we thought. >> in 15 seconds left, the optics for hillary clinton this morning, watching donald trump basically claim the nomination

while she is still struggling with bernie sanders? >> it could get worse for her. look at the states. oregon, kentucky, west virginia. there are a number of states this month i think he's probably going to beat her. he could still beat her in california. doesn't mean he wins the nomination, but it's not the way you want to end a primary process. >> lots to talk about. chuck, nicolle and steve, thank you so much. let's turn back to the breaking news we mentioned at the top of the show. the population of fort mcmurray, alberta, more than 80,000 residents ordered to evacuate from a wildfire. fire jumped the only road out of town, sending residents into a panic, as you can understand. still no word on exactly how many homes have been destroyed. there are no reports of serious injuries. government officials call it the biggest evacuation in the history of that province. the american serviceman who was killed tuesday during an attack by isis fighters in iraq has been identified as a

31-year-old navy s.e.a.l. from arizona. his death underscoring the risk faced by troops employed there. keir simmons has the latest. good morning. >> good morning. navy seal charlie keating is the third combat casualty since the u.s. redeployed forces in 2013. in arizona, he was planning to marry in november. >> reporter: 31-year-old charlie keating, pictured here with his fiance, the navy s.e.a.l. killed in an isis attack in northern iraq, his vehicle apparently hit by an isis rocket in what pentagon officials are calling a coordinated and complex attack. >> his wedding invitation is on my refrigerator. i started working with him when he was in sixth grade. i've known him since he was 13 years old. i was mortified. >> reporter: his high school cross country coach said charlie joined the military after 9/11. he'd been at practice when the twin towers were hit.

>> the boys on the team, charlie included, were so impacted by that, that a lot of the boys decided to serve their country after that. >> reporter: keating was also the grandson of banker charles keating jr. who came to symbolize america's savings and loan crisis in the 1980s. >> after more than a month in a los angeles jail, keating was released on bond. >> reporter: in arizona, the governor calling keating one of america's finest. adding, our state and nation are in mourning today. the battle with isis has steadily called for more u.s. troops. the president recently increasing the number in iraq to just over 4,000. there have been victories, but the death of a navy seal, his college, the university of indiana, publishing this simple memorial this morning. a bitter reminder that isis is a determined enemy. >> charlie keating was killed 17 miles from mosul, where kurdish and iraqi forces must take back

if isis is to be defeated. truth is, that would be a tough task without the help they're currently getting from the u.s. military. >> great loss. keir simmons, thank you. let's turn to al, who is on the road this morning in fort walton beach, florida. al, how is it down there? >> a little nippy. we're at the air force base. we have a great occasion coming up which we'll tell you about in a little bit. we have a beautiful sunrise. it's about the only place in florida where we're seeing the sunshine. we have storms firing up the west coast of florida pushing in. severe weather across the sunshine state today. we have the risk of storms from miami, hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes. as the front pushes through, look for the heavy showers and thunderstorms. we're talking about flooding possible.

coming up on our series where are they now, the robert blake murder case. we head back to the scene of the crime with the case's lead i had so many thoughts once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot.

...what we're building together... ...and could this happen again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical

or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. ==anim== new details this morning... ==topvo== a police officer injured overnight in a car crash .. has now been released from the hospital. it happened a before midnight in alameda. that's where a police cruiser collided with a car near 5th street and lincoln avenue. the cruiser then hit a utility pole. police detained a man inside the car. a female passenger was not taken into custody. a short time ago our bob redell got word doctors had released the officer. but police are not indicating what led to the crash - or if the driver may have been impaired. a police officer injured overnight in a car crash has now been released from the hospital. it happened before midnight in alameda. that's where a police cruiser collided with a car near fifth street and lincoln avenue.

in eight years, after we serve two terms. >> meanwhile, bernie sanders claimed victory in indiana's democratic primary and declared this race far from over. >> i think that while the path is narrow, i think we can pull off one of the great political upsets in the history of the united states. in fact, become the nominee for the democratic party. >> hilalary clinton holds a commanding lead in the delegate count. 92% of the way to clinching the nomination. president obama travels to flint, michigan, for a firsthand look at the city's water crisis. he'll be updated on the federal response and meet with local leaders and residents to make sure, in his words, they are receiving the help they need and deserve. also this morning, stunning developments in the death of prince. this morning, a new report that the music star was found dead just one day before he was scheduled to meet with an expert on painkiller addiction. nbc's stephanie gosk is in

minnesota, covering the latest on this. good morning. >> good morning, savannah. overnight, the minneapolis star tribune details a frantic effort by representatives of prince to get him help with a drug addiction, just hours before he died. friends of friends who want to remain private tell nbc in the weeks leading up to his death, he may have been suffering from unspecified pain. all of this while the harvard county sheriff's department releases new records that could fuel speculation, while fans wait for the official cause of his death. >> reporter: according to a report breaking overnight in the minneapolis star tribune, prince was a day away to receiving medical treatment for painkiller addiction. the report hasn't been confirmed by nbc news. representatives for the pop star called a noted expert in treating opioid addiction on april 20th, because prince was dealing with a grave medical

emergency. the doctor, whose treatment center was in california, was unable to clear his schedule to he sent his son, who works with him. the family attorney told the paper andrew kornfeld was one of three people at the paisley park when prince's body was found in an elevator and it was kornfeld who called 911. prescription painkillers were found on prince's body and in his home, paisley park. the sheriff's department released details of the dozens of calls police received about the music icon over the last five years. among them, a call on june 20th, 2011. a woman phoned from germany, saying she was concerned about prince's cocaine habits, and that prince advised her last year in germany that he cannot control his habit. she was advised to report it. the caller didn't provide any proof, and the police decided not to act because the info was old. she did not specify that prince

was in any immediate danger. there was no way to know for sure she even knew prince. prince's former attorney denies any drug use. soon after the pop star's death was announced, the police got a call from a woman claiming prince was the father of her 17-year-old son, and she wanted her son to go to the funeral. the record says police left a message at paisley park and then declared the incident closed. >> prince's sister reportedly declined to comment on the star tribue article. friends of prince tell nbc they are upset about this unverified claim of cocaine use from five years ago. they say they never saw prince use cocaine. matt and savannah, back to you. >> stephanie gosk, thank you. in other news this morning, the nation's largest drone convention is now underway. with the industry exploding like never before, one company is predicting drone delivery could be ready much sooner than you think. nbc's gabe gutierrez is in new orleans. good morning to you.

>> good morning. a lot of buzz at this convention. just the last year, the number of companies using drones for commercial use has skyrocketed tenfold. there is now nearly a million people that have registered their drones for personal use with the faa. at the convention, there is talk about home delivery. one company says it could happen sooner rather than later. >> reporter: the images have always been stunning, but now, with the industry taking off, the results are striking. one company pioneering the use of drones to save lives, finding missing people in remote areas, including children and alzheimer's patients. >> since the inception, there have been 1 rksz of -- 1,600, all found in an average time of less than 30 minutes. >> reporter: another, mapping disaster zones like in ecuador. >> drones are tools, not just toys. >> reporter: 425,000 people registered their drones with the faa and companies with

permission for commercial use k skyrocketed from 500 to 5,000 today. this year, there is more buzz about aerial delivery. you probably heard about amazon and google's plans. now a company called you bionics shows a drone that would deliver your cup of coffee. >> i can find you on the app, and you'll transport the cup of coffee to me in my office? >> exactly. takes a minute. >> reporter: remarkably, he says, the technology will be ready by the middle of next year. don't expect a swarm of delivery drones that fast. the regulatory hurdles are sky high. >> is the faa moving quickly enough? >> well, not yet. i mean, the technology is moving very, very fast. we have to move faster, otherwise, we'll miss out on opportunities. >> it could be crowded skies. too close for comfort. many of the companies here are also working on anti-collision

systems to make some of the dreams a reality. the faa is partnering with nasa to develop some sort of air traffic control system. there are a lot of questions in this industry. again, safety is a big concern. really, many of the companies saying, matt and savannah, the sky is the limit. back to you. >> gabe, thank you very much. can you imagine if drones start delivering your coffee? what are the interns going to do? >> you've been waiting for several minutes for that one. good point. interns will always have a job with my caffeine addiction. let's get a check of the weather from al who is in florida. >> that one was worth the wait. i like that. well, we are here at the air force base. we have a breakfast event that will be going on. we'll tell you about it in a little bit. unfortunately, because of this omega block, it's not letting systems move through too much. the bad weather that you've got wherever you are, it's going to stay. for example, the northeast, take a look. we have some good storms moving from the great lakes all the way

down into indiana. we're going to see this slowly move its way to the east. this is a slow-moving front. we are going to be looking at showers and storms as it pushes toward the eastern seaboard. we've been looking at wet weather, and it's going to linger and continue right on into thursday. we're looking at a low pressure system developing along the coast on friday, which will intensify the rain. it's going to stay cool, as well. widespread rain, heavy showers, downpours. rainfall amounts, one to two inches. the mountains of virginia and west virginia could see upwards of three inches of rain. a soggy, wet time, right on into early into the

>> we're also tracking some rain across the bay area and looking at some lighter rain, mostly some spotty showers, now moving just to the west of san francisco into the north bay. so expect some scattered showers throughout the morning and early afternoon. temperatures today reaching 70 reese inland in spots like gilroy, half moon bay 61 degrees 64 in santa rosa. showers into the low 70s for parts of the tri-valley and more rain tomorrow. hey, i told you this was gonna happen. save up to 30% on select diamonds in rhythm. at kay, the number one jewelry store in america... ♪ every kiss begins with kay. ♪ this mother's day finding the perfect gift that gets the perfect reaction is easy. just go to kay jewelers, and save up to 30% storewide on the perfect mother's day gift.

lesson from the last young woman that lost her life. >> again, that was a 17-year-old girl in texas. today, the recall expanding from 29 million to as many as 69 million vehicles involving 14 different carmakers, most of the major brands in america. if you'd like to know if your car is on the list, go to safercar.gov. >> tom costello, thank you. let's turn it back to savannah and matt. guys? >> natalie, thank you. this morning, the centers for disease control is issuing a new warning for doctors to cut way back on the antibiotics they're prescribing. >> researchers are saying people are taking them unnecessarily, leading to the rise of dangerous drug-resistant superbugs. once again, here is tom costello. >> get your wand ready. >> reporter: sore throats, ear aches, coughs that last forever. it seems kids are always in the doctor's office. >> when your child is sick and you take them to the doctor, you really want that the quick fix. >> for many parents, that quick fix is antibiotics.

new research suggests they're being overprescribed. 30% of outpatient antibiotics unnecessary and leading to the rise of superbugs that are antibiotic resistant. >> it could be life or death, and that's the situation we don't want to find ourselves in. >> reporter: the cdc is now calling on doctors to cut in half unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions within four years. many doctors say they're pressured by parents who want antibiotics for their sick kids. >> frankly, it is easy to write a prescription and send them out, than spending 20 minutes on why you're not going to do it. >> but they don't need it? >> they might not need it. >> reporter: when pneumonia accompanies bronchitis. for "today," tom costello, nbc news, washington. >> what do you need to know about taking antibiotics? dr. natalie azar is a nbc medical contributor. dr. azhar, good morning to you. >> good morning, guys.

>> 47%. that's 47 million prescriptions. that's a lot. >> it is a lot. antibiotic resistant bacteria are a big problem. they can cause up to 2 million infections per year and 23,000 deaths according to the cdc. it's not a small problem. in addition to antibiotic resistance, overuse or indiscriminate use of antibiotics can lead to life-threatening sometimes allergic reactions, drug interactions, also a life-threatening diarrhea caused by a bacteria called c-diff. it's the focus of the cdc's study. >> here's the dynamic. people come in, tell their doctors, i want antibiotics, i know i need them. a lot of doctors think, you know what, i'll give them to you. it's easier than trying to explain why you don't need them. >> right. as tom pointed out in the piece, there are a number of conditions where there's really no question. you need to treat with antibiotics.

bacterial pneumonia, a sore throat, strep as well as bronchitis. you can see the list on the screen. something that is important is the sinus infection. let's say you have the congestion, nasal congestion a couple days, get better. but after ten days, you get sick when with fever of 102.2, sinus pain, discharge from the nose. that viral sinus infection turned into a bacterial one and you need antibiotics. >> real quickly. you're a parent, your child gets prescribed antibiotics by a doctor. do you question it? >> i said the best treated patient is the best informed patient. i would say to you that every time your doctor prescribes antibiotics, just ask the question, what are you treating? are you just treating a sore throat? an unduplicated bronchitis? what is the bacterial infection you're treating? that's the main distinction. if you are given antibiotics and it is justified, complete the

course of antibiotics. a big problem is that people start to feel better after two to three days and assume their infection has been treated. it's really an anti-inflammatory affect of the antibiotic. complete the course to avoid resistance. >> information as always, natalie. thank you very much. coming up next, should companies offer you paid time off when you get a new pet? we'll tell you where that's actually happening. plus, a miracle in the making. the just revealed lineup for what is being declared the concert of the century. al is at an air force base in florida to give one deserving mom a big surprise. first, these messages. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra... can be a sign of existing joint damage... that could only get worse. he prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections.

surprise that he shared with us. >> sarah is a person -- wow -- she is a very strong individual. i guess strength keeps coming to mind. type of mother sarah is is an outstanding mother. cora, our oldest, is 7 years old. second oldest is phoenix, 6 years old. i served a year away in korea, and we figured once we got to the next assignment, here at eglin air force base, we'd try for another one. we found out, yes, we're pregnant and it was great. she was approximately 19 into 20 weeks. the ordeal started a little earlier. she started noticing some abnormalities. when she got the call, she knew something was wrong. my wife and i went back to the specialist, and that's when she said, yeah, it's cancer. she says, what we need to do is

a mastectomy, get it out. not a week later, she was going into surgery to have the breast removed. you don't hear of somebody going through pregnancy and being treated with chemotherapy. shaving her head was the next step but we involved our children in the process. cora and phoenix, as my wife was diagnosed with cancer, so many things were taken away. so many options. obviously, the natural birth wasn't an option anymore. breast-feeding started to slip away. that was the last thing my wife could hold on to because she breast-fed the first two. it was something she wanted to do. even the doctors were trying to talk her out of it. it wasn't a hard decision to make at all. we read stories about women who decide not to have the surgery or go through chemo because of the pregnancy, then have the baby and they weren't around for the baby to grow because they passed. because the cancer spread. so my wife is like, nope, i'll be here for my children. i'm not going to let this get the best of me. i'd rather lose a breast and be

alive. so at 36 weeks, she was induced and our son was born the 21st of april. healthy baby, no issues, no problems, nothing. as soon as the doctors placed him on her, he immediately rolled over and latched right on. you could feel the emotion in there. she burst into tears. that was captured on picture. to have that immediate bond, it seemed as if he knew, that was what she needed. it was just very emotional and overwhelming experience for her. for any geek out there, the birth name of superman meant strength. and it was by the strength of god he was able to endure everything he had before even being born. in honor of mother's day, i

biel is crediting the joys of motherhood with her son silas husband one of the reasons she's been inspired to give back. her story couldn't be any sweeter. >> reporter: she's known for her acting, her beauty and, let's face it, she's half of one of the hottest couples in hollywood. jessica biel also has a big heart. here in her own child-friendly restaurant, oh fudge, she partnered with baby to baby and tiny prints, so these little ones, many from homeless shelters, could have a special celebration with their mothers for mother's day. motherhood brought this cause nearer to jessica's heart. >> once you had a little guy, it changed your perspective. >> it changes things because you have a firsthand experience as to how difficult it is to have a kid. how many diapers they need a day. how many wipes you use. how much they eat, or how much you prepare that they don't eat. it really changes your

perspective massively, i think. >> something we remind ourselves every morning, and we talk about it, is 1 of 3 mothers in this country had to choose between food and diapers for her child. our mission every day is to get basic essentials to low income children and families. >> it is a cycle of poverty we're trying to help alleviate. >> reporter: jessica isn't the only celebrity mom involved. rachel zoe and kelly rowland also came by. >> when i had my first little guy, when you're not with them, my heart was on the outside. does that make sense? >> people talk about the invisible umbilical cord. you're still connected to the person, though you're not in the same body anymore. it does not go away. >> how old is silas now? >> over a year. >> what's he like? how would you describe him? >> a ham, like his dad. serious ham. he thinks everything is funny. he thinks sneezing is funny. bodily function is really funny.

>> love music? >> he likes stevie wonder. the groove. >> speaking of groove, does he recognize that he's listening to daddy, or do you listen to daddy? >> we listen to a lot of daddy. he hasn't real lie sely seen hi stage. i think once he connects the dot, we play the music, he'll realize, oh, that's daddy up there. >> do you guys have moments when you feel like, this is my unit? what's a good time for you guys? >> i definitely have that unit feeling. it's a good feeling, isn't it? it's just, it's like you against the world. you can do anything. it's kind of that aspirational feeling, i guess. >> reporter: as she approaches her second mother's day, jessica says it's the simple moments she cherishes most. >> we do a lot of yard hangouts. picnic blanket on the yard, music, books everywhere, crawling through the grass, that

stuff. >> in those moments, there is nothing better. >> there's not. >> reporter: if she can help other moms create a toothless grin, a princess dream or bubble fantasy, she's all in. >> it was really good. her restaurant, by the way, fantastic. the kids are watched while you eat. >> love it. >> thanks so much,

. fast moving developments in the race for president. nbc news. learned from a senior campaign adviser ohio governor john kasich is suck spending his campaign for the republican nom nagsz. that leaves donald trump all alone as republican candidate for the race for president. let's go to nbc's chuck todd. todd, where does this leave us? >> well, it leaves us with donald trump on having the

republican party be his. he is going to be the nominee. barring some sort of unforeseen event at this point. it's actually an amazing thing that we're witnessing here. sometimes we forget the perspective of all this but 11 months ago when donald trump descended down that escalator he was not the candidate everybody was talking about. there were 16 other candidates but between now and then, counting john kasich, donald trump is now vested nine current or former governors. five current or former u.s. senators. donald trump has never held elected office. lester, he's now taken over the republican party and is now going to remake it in his own image to the chagrin frankly of many other conservatives who are concerned about where this thing is going. >> of course, ted cruz went to the exit door last night after his defeat in indiana. is the next round though for trump to try to win unity within the party and how steep is that hill? >> i think that hill is very steep. i think he does have to figure out how to bring the party together. whether ted cruz is going to be

ready to come around any time soon, that's another story when you consider the language both of them used against each other. bringing this party together is going to be his challenge because he's got to do it not just rhetorically. he's got to bring them together to the point they will actually do the work. not just say they won't be against him but are they going the raise the money that they need? are they going to have the resources to take on what is going to be a $2 billion campaign juggernaut in hurricane katrina and thillary clinton an democrats. >> chuck todd, again, the headline, john kasich has announced he will be announcing he is suspending his campaign for president. we expect to hear from him a bit later on this afternoon. for now i'm lester holt, nbc here it is, just for you. ♪ since i'm being honest ♪ with you >> little justin bieber feel to it? do you hear that a bit? the great alicia keys is above

medical mistakes are now the third leading cause of death in the u.s., behind heart disease and cancer. the report in the british medical journal finds at least 250,000 deaths in the u.s. every year can be linked to errors in medical care caused by everything from wrong medications to faulty computer progr programs. the number is an estimate, since the cdc currently has no accurate way of tracking deaths from medical mistakes. and the captain of an alaskan fishing boat got the catch of the day without leaving his dock. cy williams was taking his boat out when a hump back whale came out of nowhere with his mouth wide open. the whole thing caught on camera. remarkable. let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker, down in pensacola, florida. fantastic people. sir? >> we are at the eglin air force base. folks at smucker's are throwing a breakfast for 4,000 of the servicemen and women and their

before. >> as you wish. >> reporter: and we haven't even talked about his work in front of the camera, creating iconic roles like michael "meathead" from "all in the family." >> i don't need your help. >> reporter: or tom hanks' friend in "sleepless in seattle." >> tiramisu. >> what is it? >> you'll see. >> some woman will want me to do it to her, and i won't know what it is. >> you'll love it. >> reporter: or his most recent work as leonardo dicaprio's father in "wolf of wall street." >> $26,000? >> reporter: now rob reiner is back behind the camera in his most personal film yet, "being charlie," written by his son, nick, whose real-life battle with addiction inspired the film. >> what do i have that is mine? >> you have you, man. that's all you'll ever have. >> reporter: shedding light on the hardships on the road to recovery. >> rob reiner joins us now.

>> thanks for having me. >> we were quoting lines from your movies, talking about it. >> i'm really thrilled that there is no big bucket of ice on this set. i saw that thing with fallon. >> we can do it. >> no. i got a little nervous when i saw that. >> you and willie, showdown. >> we know about shrinkage, and we don't want to go there. donald trump will not have to worry about that. i went for a donald trump and shrinkage and the whole thing. >> donald trump and shrinkage. >> this is breakfast with rob reiner. >> let's talk about this movie. it is so different than anything else you've ever done. getting the chance to work with your son on something that's so personal. >> well, it was very personal. i mean, it's not a secret, but my son, nick, who was one of the writers of the screenplay, had his problems with substance abuse. he went through a number of rehab programs from the time he

was 15 to 19. he's doing very good now. but what i didn't understand is the depth of what he was going through. and the process of making this film, not only forced me to see what he was experiencing, but i think it forced him to see what i went through and what his mother went through. hopefully, the film was a reflection of that. you know, hopefully, it'll be part of a dialogue. we're experiencing a lot of -- it's a epidemic now. the availability of drugs and, you know, in suburban communities. it's on the campaign trail now. hopefully, this will be part of the dialogue. >> that's the thing, people can easily associate this with hollywood or a privileged life. hillary clinton was in west virginia yesterday. the highest race of overdoses in the united states happens in west virginia. >> yeah. and this -- clearly, there is no socio-economic boundary to this. it touches everyone. what we try to understand is

that -- and i think it's great, what's happening in the criminal justice system. they're trying to decriminalize these things. don't punish somebody for having a problem. we have to start thinking about it. the disease is not the addiction. the disease is the underlying issues that cause you to self-medicate with either alcohol or drugs or, you know, gambling, sex, whatever it is you do. that's an individual thing, and that has to be treated individually. i don't think it works in a cookie cutter approach. >> right. >> nick co-wrote this with a guy he met in rehab. they understand the problem. >> i didn't know they were working on it. they met each other. there is a scene in the movie where the guy -- they have a talent show. the kid does a stand-up. that was nick's friend, ma matt elisofon. they got out and started writing.

it was a half-hour comedy of life in rehab. i said, it's funny but it goes deeper than this. if you're going to do justice to it, you have to bring the emotional part out. eventually, it became this screenplay we worked on. >> i think it'll be tremendously helpful for so many people to understand. >> hopefully. we have to not punish people who have problems. we have to help them. i think we're going in that direction now. people are starting to recognize it. because it's been given a national spotlight on the campaign trail. >> we appreciate you putting this film out there. rob reiner, thanks so much. to your son, nick, as well, which we're proud of.

>> reporter: clint hill first joined the presidential detail in 1958, during the second term of dwight david eisenhower. >> what kind of a guy was eisenhower, on a personal level? >> easy to work with. nice guy. he preferred to be called general rather than president. we simply called him the boss. >> reporter: during two post world war ii terms of relative peace and prosperity, eisenhower spent a lot of time on the golf course. clint hill was right there with him. >> by the end, spending all this time with him on the golf course, you write in the book you could pick out his clubs for him and caddy. >> you knew exactly what he was going to use. he had certain problems on certain golf courses that we would bet each other. there was a tree in the middle of the course. he hit that tree every time he swung the club.

>> didn't he ask to have the tree move snd. >> he did. the officials refused, and they still call it the eisenhower tree. >> air force one lands on a base anywhere on christmas eve and the president wants to do a little shopping. >> we were toward the end of a round the world trip. it was just before christmas. we landed to refuel. he was asleep on the plane. i looked up, and here he is, standing there. hey, clint, where is everybody? >> doing christmas shopping. he said, we'll go, too. he goes in -- he has pajamas on. puts on a trench coat and down the ramp he comes. >> reporter: five presidents and five distinct personalities. clint served richard nixon from his swearing in to his watergate resignation. >> he was an introvert most of the time he was in the white house. he was a strange guy to work with.

>> lonely guy? >> yeah, i think he was very lonely. >> reporter: it's one of the country's darkest moments that weighs on clint hill. >> president kennedy was murdered. >> reporter: november 22nd, 1963, president john f. kennedy was shot and killed in an open car while riding through dealey plaza in dallas. >> he was shot by a sniper hiding in a building. >> reporter: clint was protecting jackie kennedy that day. he rushed to the president's car to block further shots. >> what goes through your mind? do you replay that day? do you think, what else could i have done, or do you say, i did everything i could do? >> the longest time, i never said i did everything i could, until 1990. i still have problems with that assassination period. in 1990, i went back to dallas. i walked the area of dealey plaza. i went up to the sixth floor. i came away realizing that i had done everything i could have done that day. >> reporter: it was the ongoing

trauma of that day that led clint to retire in 1975 at the age of 43. shortly after gerald ford took office. >> if you had it to do over, would you take the life again? >> oh, i'd go right back to it tomorrow morning if they'd let me. unfortunately, i'm a little too old. >> i think they could still use you. clint, thank you for the time. the book is amazing. >> been a pleasure. >> the assassination looms large for clint, but he recalls kennedy personally, the invitation into the kennedy family football games. the book, again, is "five presidents," and is fantastic. we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.
