7:16 am
>> it says president trump wins. this is the third attempt to restrict from muslim countries. the president has the power to control this kind of immigration in the interest of national security. you may recall the administration said this version was different, that it was enacted after surveying the policies of 200 countries around the world to see how well they gave the united states information about people who applied for visas to come to the u.s. and how good they were at fighting terrorism in their own borders. now, after gone through that whole process, they still had the same ban on five of the seven original countries that were covered by the first travel ban that was enacted shortly after the president came into office.
7:17 am
but stepping aside from the specifics, this is a big legal victory for the president. it comes, of course, during a time when his administration is mired in an entirely different immigration question. but on this one, by a 5-4 ruling with the court's conservatives in the majority joined by justice anthony kennedy and the court's liberals upholding the president's travel ban. striking down a lower court order that had blocked the travel ban. the government has already been enforcing this restriction that was announced last september. the supreme court in december sort of pre-figured today's decision by lifting a stay that had been put in place by a judge after a lawsuit from hawaii and several muslim organizations and muslim individuals who said that it violated religious freedom. so craig, a big victory for the president. >> our justice correspondent pete williams there at the
7:18 am
supreme court. let's go to the white house now where kristen welker is standing by. kristen, this was the first trump policy to undergo a full supreme court review. a win for the president, no doubt. any word from the administration so far? >> reporter: no reaction yet from the administration, craig. but there is no doubt this is a legal and a huge political victory for president trump who's been fighting for the travel ban ever since he first took office. he's argued it's a matter of national security and protecting the u.s. from islamic militants. opponents, of course, have said it's racist because the ban targets mostly majority muslim countries. it comes after candidate trump called for a complete and total shutdown of muslims entering the united states. once in office, he softened that language. a big win for the president. >> kristen welker, thank you. more right now on nbcnews.com. more all day on msnbc. and a wrapup tonight on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt

7:43 am
multiple studies have linked to playing football. >> did tyler get cte from football? probably. >> reporter: in a statement to nbc news, washington state university said it had many safeguards in place to protect students before the tragedy and is adding even more. including a second formal mental health cleaning for members of the football team, after we lost tyler, along with meetings with all varsity athletes to identify individuals who might be at risk for mental health issues. tyler's family has started a nonprofit called the hilinski hope foundation in his honor, dedicated to supporting hope programs for young people. >> he was goofy and funny and hilarious half the time. >> where is my breakfast in bed? >> but we didn't see it. >> his brothers didn't see it. >> we didn't see it at all. >> mark and kym hilinski are with us now. thank you for coming. from that incredible
7:44 am
documentary, i see you raised a beautiful, incredible kid and you're pretty incredible parents. what was he like as a young boy? >> well, perfect. sweet and fun and good and kind. that's how he continued his life. >> seems like everybody who was talked to in the documentary, everyone we talked to, said he was like a bright, happy, outgoing -- they described him as goofy and optimistic. and then, he goes to college and becomes that football player. when you see that image, what do you think? >> that was an exciting time. we were very excited for him. kim was at the game. ryan and i were watching at home. that was the pinnacle of his football career. we're excited to talk to him afterwards. his brother in the hospital, and ryan and i at home. >> you have a child who seems
7:45 am
presumably on top of the world. has everything going for him. i'm sure a million times in your head you thought, was there something he said, something that happened when he was at college. when you looked back, were there things he said or anything you thought of? >> we do. you go and you look at every piece. and there's nothing really there. maybe there's a comment here or there. there's certain plays that we looked at like the arizona game, which is in the "sports illustrated" piece. certain hits he took. but there weren't really any verbal signs from tyler to us or to anybody at washington state, that he was suffering. >> when you got the phone call and i watched you watching the piece, how many times in your head do you hear that voice of coach huff telling you what happened to your son? >> coach huff called and said that tyler missed practice. that was the first call i got,
7:46 am
which was so -- he hasn't missed practice in 21 years. >> right. >> and immediately, they saidle they were filing a missing persons report. and the team couldn't find his car, et cetera, et cetera. we were thinking -- he was a terrible driver, that he was out of gas or a hit and run to complete terror. and it happened in the blink of an eye. we were, obviously, devastated. >> when you heard about how your son passed away, was there disbelief? like, how is that possible? >> absolutely. i think mostly because, he doesn't know how to shoot a gun. he's never shot a gun except for the day before he passed. he didn't know what he was doing when he had that ar-15. it belonged to another athlete. and i think the fact that, how we did it was a shock of itself. >> and you mentioned in that
7:47 am
documentary, too, that the mayo clinic asked to do an autopsy. did you think it was unusual that the mayo clinic wanted to do an autopsy on a teenage boy, a football play center. >> it wasn't surprising to us at the time. i mean, we were in complete shock. we wanted to know everything we could and find out anything we could, of course. we immediately said sure. we would like to know what we can find out. >> and the findings that a young boy your son's age had cte. i didn't know a person that young could have that. >> we didn't, either. it was, like mark said, it was a shock to get the cults and to find out that he had it. and to realize that the sport that he loved may have contributed to that diagnosis. >> the medical examiner said he had the brain of a 65-year-old.
7:48 am

8:38 am
right to vote. women were defined by their fathers or their husbands. and she was an independent spirit. >> she wanted to paint him. that's what she wanted to do. but it was much more than that, wasn't it? >> in real life, she was an activist. in our film, she becomes an activist. it's a deep friendship, a deep love between the two of them. when i was doing research for the character, i read her leers and letters and sitting bull proposed to her. it was a deep love. these two people that were struggling to get agency over their lives. >> speaking of activism, you've been active in the #metoo movement. i was sitting here and octavia spencer was right there. >> my dear. >> we for talking about #metoo. but i had a talk with jessica chastain and there's another pay disparity. and she said, the pay despaispa between me and actresses like

you. and she said you were unaware but said we're changing things. >> of course, i knew that women of color got paid less. of course i knew that. i just assumed, which is the dangerous thing, i assumed a woman like octavia spencer would be compensated fairly for the work she's done, for the award she's received. when she told me what her salary had been, that's what shocked me. and i thought, we're going to tie ourselves together in the next film. >> lastly. you have something called 355. >> yes. >> you and a bunch of women are getting together and want to change thing. >> we're making a film independently. we own equity in the film. we went to cannes and we sold it. we raised more than we needed to. we're now owners of this film. we're the studio.
