7:06 am
on the investigation, joe, good morning. >> good morning. it happened around 2:30 tuesday afternoon. just outside of el centro, california. that's a few miles from the u.s./mexico border. the marine corps ch-53e super stallion helicopter, described as the largest, most powerful in the u.s. military was on a routine training mission when it went down with four crew inside. the military says all of those crew members are presumed dead at this time. their names won't be released until their families are notified. the cause of the crash is under investigation this is the deadliest incident for the marines since a plane crash in mississippi last summer. which killed all 16 service members on board. savannah? >> joe, thank you. there are also breaking developments in the russia investigation, new reports that special counsel robert mueller has told the president's lawyers while he is a subject of the investigation, he is not currently a criminal target. so what does that mean? as things move forward?
7:07 am
our team of white house correspondents have it covered, beginning with nbc's halle jackson. good morning. >> good morning, we're also learning this morning that what robert mueller, the special counsel may be ramping up the pressure on the president's legal team to try to get president trump to do an interview according to the "washington post." keep in mind that while the paper points out the president may not be a target of the investigation now, that could change depending on what is said, if the president were to sit down with mueller face to face. the latest russia revelation this morning has the presidents allies vindication. >> still the witch hunt continues, however he is not currently a criminal target. >> others cautioning not so fast. >> he should be worried that he's even a subject. >> all of it prompted by a new report from the "washington post" overnight. that the special counsel is telling the president's lawyers he is not considered a criminal target at this point.
7:08 am
but that he is under investigation as the subject of the russia inquiry. with the paper citing three people familiar with those discussions. the distinction means according to justice department guidelines, while there's reason to investigate the president's conduct, there's currently not enough evidence to link him to any crime. the "post" says special counsel robert mueller reiterated the need to interview president trump. something the president seemed open to recently. >> i would like to do it. i would do it under oath. yeah. absolutely. >> mueller telling the president's lawyers they need the interview to finish a report about potential obstruction of justice. and about donald trump's actions while in office according to the post. a second report later on could outline more broadly, findings on russian interference in the 2016 election. the president's attorney tells nbc news we do not discuss real or alleged conversations between our legal team and the office of special counsel.
7:09 am
the special counsel's office declined to comment. >> halle, on this issue of russia, there's word that the diplomats expelled by the u.s. could actually be replaced. how would that work? >> here's the bottom line on that, savannah. when it comes to the expulsion of those russian diplomats, moscow could request to fill those now-vacant positions. but that doesn't mean the u.s. is automatically going to grant that request. the state department could choose not to do it at all. or it could slow-roll the process, right? which would in effect create this permanent hold. when it comes to policy toward russia overall, there are this morning tough words coming from the current national security adviser, who argues the u.s. has not done enough to punish the kremlin. listen. >> russia brazenly and implausibly denies its actions. and we have failed to impose sufficient costs. the kremlin's confidence is growing, as its agents conduct their sustained campaigns to
7:10 am
undermine our confidence in ourselves and in one another. >> remember, h.r. mcmaster there is on his way out of the white house. his replacement for the job of national security adviser, former diplomat john bolton, takes the job next week. savannah. >> pretty extraordinary to hear him say the administration that he's working for didn't do enough to punish russia. halle, keep us posted. new chaos on wall street over escalating trade tensions between the u.s. and china. the country is slapping new tariffs on each other, amid fears the back and forth could set back the global economy. nbc's kristen welker is at the white house with more on that. good morning. >> fears of a trade war are deepening this morning as the world's two biggest economies, china and the u.s. face off over trade and tariffs. adding to the anxiety, stocks opened sharply lower today. you can see from the numbers, they are still down. but the president defiant on twitter. accusing china of intellectual
7:11 am
property theft and insisting the u.s. is not in a trade war with china. and in a separate tweet, declaring when you're already 500 billion down, you can't lose. overnight, the white house announcing new 25% tariffs on more than 1300 products. everything from dishwashers and motorcycles to printers and snowplows. all made in china. >> we intend to get along with china, but we have to do something very substantial about the trade deficit. >> the trump administration says it's targeting products that benefit from china's industrial plans, while minimizing the impact on the u.s. economy. big retailers from costco and gap to target and walmart. all warned new tariffs on china would hurt american households with higher prices. this latest round hitting $50 billion in imports from america's largest trading partner. after the president signed $60 billion in stinging tariffs on china in march, calling it -- >> it's probably one of the reasons i was elected, maybe one of the main reasons.
7:12 am
>> but china is firing back. >> we don't want a trade war with the united states or with anybody else. but we are not afraid of it. >> raising the price of everything from pork to airplane parts. as for fears of a trade war -- commerce secretary wilbur ross had this to say this morning on cnbc. >> even shooting wars end with negotiations. >> another big headline out of the white house, kristen. the president making a surprise announcement about putting troops along the southern border. what do you know about that? >> well that's absolutely right. the president caught some of his own administration officials off-guard on tuesday. when he announced those plans to send the military to the border. now the white house later making it clear the military does include the national guard. setting the national guard to the border would be unusual, but not unprecedented, savannah. former presidents barack obama and george w. bush both sent the guard to parts of the border. but only temporarily. this heightened rhetoric is all coming amid pressure from some
7:13 am
of the president's core supporters, who say he just hasn't been tough enough on one of his signature issues -- cracking down on undocumented immigrants. savannah? >> kristen welker at the white house, thank you. we have more to get to, including the teacher revolt spreading across the country. schools in oklahoma are closed for a third straight day, amid a statewide teacher walkout there. they're pushing for better pay and more funding for schools. but now oklahoma's governor says they're asking for too much. nbc's gabe gutierrez with the latest on that, good morning. >> hi, savannah. good morning, more teacher protests are getting under way at the state capital. the governor says she hopes the walkout will end by the end of the week but the fight no longer seems to be about just higher teacher pay but rather respect for public education. this morning, the massive oklahoma teacher walkout enters its third day. but as the demand more skull
7:14 am
foo school funding, some lawmakers are not budging. >> i'm not voting for another stinking measure when they're acting the way they're acting. >> we took a big step forward in our state's history to enact the largest pay increase ever for our teachers. >> governor mary fallon says after the $6,000-a-year raise, there's no money left in the state's budget. she thinks these teacher protests across the country are rooted in politics. >> we saw in west virginia, you're seeing it in arizona, you're seeing it in oklahoma, you're seeing is in kentucky. you're seeing it in a lot of states that have governors' races. >> we sat down with oklahoma educators who see it as something else. how many of you pay for supplies for your classrooms? this fourth grade teacher said she made more money in her previous job in retail. >> i feel like they think it's a joke to be a teacher.
7:15 am
our legislators don't quite respect us. >> heather has been in the classroom for 20 years. >> i'm embarrassed to say how many years i've been teaching, i have a daughter in college and i'm still paying off my own student loans. >> 12th grade government teacher drew rhodes says he's been forced to choose between paying bills and health insurance for his wife. >> it's kind of a life and death thing. i hate to say it but as a father of three and married, i can't afford to put my wife under my health insurance. >> how heartbreaking is that? >> um, very. it's we're doing what we're called to do. >> hundreds of thousands of students will be out of the classroom again today. and critics of the walkout say it is preventing these students from taking tests that are required by the end of the year to insure federal funding. but savannah, right now there seems to be no end to this walkout in sight. >> all right.
7:16 am

southwest. we'll see a stream of moisture move into northwestern california tomorrow. and that could produce about 2 to 4 inches of rain. and more snow is possible through minnesota and wisconsin tomorrow. and much colder temperatures arriving in on the eas that's a look at the weather across the country. now here's a peek out your window. it's cloudy but not raining yet. 54 now in san francisco. the temperature trend is on tap to climb nicely to seasonable temperatures, low to mid-60s and even some 70s towards the inland interior valleys. 62, 63 degrees our predicted high. the gray cloud cover will stick around. >> and if you remember from earlier, maddy's birthday wish was to pet sunny. did you get to pet him? >> i did. >> let's give him more loving.
8:35 am
was it everything you hoped for? >> it was. it made my birthday complete. >> thank you. this morning, the last survivor of the parkland school shooting is out of the hospital and recovering at home. >> he's being hailed as a hero for the bravery he showed on that day. kerry sanders sat down with him and spoke to him exclusively. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. after surgeries, anthony burress has won the hearts of the nation and around the world for his real world heroics at marjory stoneman douglas high school. the most gravely wounded survivor of the parkland massacre now finally home from the hospital. how do you feel right now? >> i feel good. >> reporter: anthony speaks haltingly. the result of his wounds. how many times did you get hit?
8:36 am
>> five. >> reporter: a third of his lung had to be removed. one bullet coming dangerously close to his liver. three more tearing through his legs. do you feel lucky to be alive? >> uh-huh. >> reporter: his classmates, lucky too. some probably alive today because of anthony's bravery. turning himself into a human shield and despite his wounds, he barricaded the door shut as the gunman continued his deadly rampage. >> i think i was going to die. >> he's a hero in my book. >> reporter: the family lawyer. >> he's the real deal. >> reporter: anthony's bravery is being recognized around the world. boxes and boxes of letters from strangers sharing love and support. some of the most moving coming from the family's home country, venezuela. he's a fighter, he's a winner, he's a champion. he hasn't read it yet, she says. >> he is a hero. >> reporter: anthony's close

friend was in lockdown that day. >> it shouldn't have happened on february 14th. it shouldn't have happened ever. not in my school or in any other school. >> reporter: the family attorney has already filed a notice of intent to sue. the first step in the process. they believe systems to protect students at marjory stoneman douglas high school failed. people are very disappointed. >> disappointed puts it mildly. this is the poster child of everything going wrong. >> reporter: to many anthony is a superhero. some of his friends giving him a nickname. the real iron man. actor clark greg who plays in the marvel movies even sending this message. >> you're a hero. we're thinking about you. we hope you get better. come visit us. >> reporter: now the family is looking forward. the doctors tell you he'll be back playing soccer? >> that's the plan. >> reporter: a lot of people are very thankful for what you did.
8:38 am
have you even thought about that? you don't know you're a hero? well, you are. because of the slow and arduous recovery that anthony will have to endure, his family lived in an apartment up several floors and the doctor said that would really be too much for anthony to have to climb the stairs. they've had to move to a new house on the ground level. but guys, i don't think the real iron man is going to have much of a problem here as he continues forward. >> we wish him the best in his recovery. thank you very much. and just ahead on a wednesday morning, we have mindy kaling. we're going to talk about her new show, her movies, and being a new mom. but first, this is "today" on but first, this is "today" on nbc.
8:40 am
i'm april kennedy and i'm an arborist with pg&e in the sierras. but first, this is "today" on nbc. since the onset of the drought, more than 129 million trees have died in california. pg&e prunes and removes over a million trees every year to ensure that hazardous trees can't impact power lines. and since the onset of the drought we've doubled our efforts. i grew up in the forests out in this area and honestly it's heartbreaking to see all these trees dying. what guides me is ensuring that the public is going to be safer and that these forests can be sustained and enjoyed by the community in the future. how excited am i? we are back with the multi-talented mindy kaling. she's an actress, writering with producer and a new mom who somehow found a little extra time to co-create and star in
8:41 am
nbc's sitcom called "champions." mindy plays a single mom who takes her teenage son to live with the father he's never met. let's just say, he has a few concerns. >> hello? >> hey. it's the man responsible for your teenage sexual awakening. >> ryan phillippe? how'd you get my number? >> no. it's vince. but we got a problem. your son's a slob and he's trying to convince me that you were cool with that. >> that's totally true. >> what? you tolerated that? >> i tried disciplining him. but it was too hard. i spend all day putting catheters in old people and didn't want to come out and get after him for he left the gas on and the cat passed out. >> there's a lot going on. >> this though is funny. we'll get to it. but this is the first time i've seen you since the birth of your little girl. how is all of that? >> she's so great. she's so great.
8:42 am
i just love being a mom. you know how it feels. it's just incredible. >> is it weird? like, has she started doing anything? for awhile, you just feed, change, sleep, change the diaper. that's it. >> zero feedback except for crying for the longest time. and then you start wondering, like, does she care about me, know about me? just i'm a food source for her? and she started laughing recently. she's incredibly easy to make laugh. much different -- it's very nice, actually. because versus my real job where it's so -- it takes so much effort to make these shows and everything. and i just sing music to her and she's cracking up. it's the best. >> and how have you -- have you had, like, realigned your life? when a child comes in -- at first i was like, i'm going to have my life exactly as it was and the baby. but you have to make changes to make it work. right? >> absolutely. it's just that she bleeds over into all parts of my life. sometimes i find myself -- i don't know if you do this. staring at your phone at a photo of her in a meeting.
8:43 am
i'm just like, looking lovingly at a photo. everyone is like, what are you doing. i'm like -- i don't know. it's a great feeling. >> let's talk about your show "champions." very funny. the concept is great. this young actor who you found to play your son, this kid is unbelievable. i can't believe we haven't seen him before. tell us about the show. >> so j.j. is the -- he plays my 15-year-old son who is -- he is incredibly funny. he's gay and out and proud of himself. he's just this incredible -- we wrote this for a half indian young gay man. we were like we're never going to cast this. but then we found this kid. he has so much heart. >> and being gay is just, like, 10% of the character that you see. like, he has his moment and then moves on. >> we weren't interested in doing a show about a young gay man who felt victimized by his circumstance. we wanted to just have it be
8:44 am
part of his life. we thought that was modern and fun. those stories have been told already. >> well, you've got so much going on. "a wrinkle in time." every time i see you and the others, i want to know what it's like. tell me what it's like when you're hanging out and talking. what's going on in that group? >> they're amazing. oprah is amazing. reese is wonderful too. but i feel that way about you and kathie lee. i'm like, i want to be part of your trio. everyone does. i just want to kick back and drink wine with you on memorial day or something. >> are you all, like, laughing? is it deep talk? >> the thing with oprah, it always goes so deep because you're with oprah. you're not just going to chitter chat about little things. you want her life advice. >> you've got "oceans eight" coming up. you're very busy. i want to read one thing your costar said. when i met mindy kaling she lived in a small apartment on fairfax avenue.
