capitol hill now democrats are digging in, too, and the debate over impeachment is mounting. this morning house speaker nancy pelosi under fire from members of her own party. >> if don mcgahn doesn't testify it is time to open an impeachment inquiry. >> reporter: nbc news has learned several members of the house judiciary committee pressed pelosi monday night to move forward with an impeachment inquiry against trump if former white house counsel don mcghan fails to testify. one source telling nbc news it was a big debate and was long and very emotional pelosi weary about calls for impeachment telling democratic luber lube -- telling democratic leaders we have all said one thing will lead to another, adding we have unexhausted avenues here mcgahn will heed the president's order to defy a congressional subpoena to testify, the white house citing justice department opinions going back four decades that say officials have absolute immunity from testifying the president defending the

move. >> they are doing that for the office of the presidency for future presidents. i think it's a very important precedent. >> reporter: but democrats are demanding that mcgahn appear the house judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler calling mr. trump's order unprecedented arguing mcgahn is a key witness on obstruction after sitting for more than 30 hours of interviews with special counsel robert mueller and accusing the white house of blocking their efforts in oversight nadler insisting they will hold the hearing adding the committee is prepared to use all enforcement mechanisms at its disposal. >> we will have to hold mcgahn in contempt. >> reporter: now, overnight "the washington post" reporting that chairman nadler privately made the case to leader pelosi to start the impeachment inquiry, but publicly, savannah and craig, he has said just the opposite he said he is not ready to take that step and based on our reporting the two are still in

lock step on that issue for now. savannah, craig. >> incredibly significant point there. kristen, meanwhile, the white house lost a battle in court over the president's financial records, a judge saying they must be handed over? >> reporter: that's right. a federal judge sided with democrats and said that the president's accounting firm has to turn over his financial records. the president yesterday called that crazy he vowed to appeal he calls it overreach, but the democrats say it is oversight. it's the latest front in this intensifying battle. >> thank you so much >> meanwhile, it's early but a key battleground is already taking shape in the 2020 presidential race. president trump holding a rally in pennsylvania overnight just two days after his democratic rival joe biden did the same thing. so why is this state getting so much attention so soon nbc's peter alexander has more on that. peter good morning. >> reporter: hey, craig, good morning. there are three states that help put president trump over the top in 2016. michigan, wisconsin, and

pennsylvania all of them by razor thin margins. he is hoping to keep them in his column in 2020 making his case for re-election in a deep red part of pennsylvania monday night, taking new swipes at former vice president joe biden, accusing biden of deserting the state where he was born. president trump overnight returning to what may be the battleground in 2020 pennsylvania. >> i'll be here a lot. got to win this state. >> reporter: the president's trip underscoring his emerging rivalry with democratic frontrunner joe biden, who officially kicked off his campaign in pennsylvania just two days earlier. >> the single most important thing to accomplish is defeat donald trump. >> reporter: the president repeatedly taking aim at the former vice president. a scranton native who built a reputation as an advocate for blue collar workers. they could decide the state. >> he talks about, scranton, i know well, i know the places better

he left you for another state and he didn't take care of you because he didn't take care of your jobs. >> reporter: but president trump's allies privately acknowledge there is reason for concern. biden currently leads trump in pennsylvania by double digits according to a recently released poll bernie sanders also comes out in front in a head-to-head match-up and several other democrats within the margin of error president trump is counting on a repeat in the rust belt, including pennsylvania, a state he won in 2016, by barely 44,000 votes out of more than 6 million cast in his favor, the lowest statewide unemployment since 1976. >> when you have the best economy, probably that we've ever had, i don't know how the hell do you lose this election, right? >> reporter: but his escalating trade war with china that's costing manufacturers, farmers and consumers threatens to undercut his efforts and provide new fodder for his opponents. >> president trump inherited an

economy from the obama/biden administration that was given to him. just like everything else given to him in his life, he is in the process of squandering that as well. >> reporter: as for the president's line of attack that biden abandoned his home state, biden moved when he was a boy. he has kept close ties to pennsylvania over all those years. actually, recently opened his 2020 campaign headquarters right there in philadelphia. back to you guys. >> all right peter alexander at the white house. thank you. we move overseas in this escalating tension between the u.s. and iran amid fears of a possible military confrontation. top national security officials will brief congress today on reported threats facing u.s. troops in the middle east. nbc's chief global correspondent bill neely joins us from iraq. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah more tough talk from the president. another warning to iran. but in recent days such mixed messages from the white house,

but here in iraq and across the region they are nervous, not sure whether the president wants to talk to iran's leaders or remove them. american firepower poised near the persian gulf exercising in recent days to respond to what the u.s. calls threats from iran. now new threats from president trump ramping up his rhetoric. >> they have been very hostile they have truly been the number one provocateur of terror. we have no indication that anything has happened or will happen if it does, it will be met, obviously, with great force. >> reporter: this follows his tweet threatening the official end of iran if it wants to fight. iran's foreign minister responding with #neverthreatenaniranian try respect. it works the united nations secretary general asking everyone to lower the rhetoric

the president also signaling that he is ready to talk with iran. >> if they called, we would certainly negotiate. but that's going to be up to them. >> reporter: it's not just the rhetoric a rocket in iraq sunday sent nerves jangling. though it landed half a mile from the u.s. embassy, it prompted a strong warning from the u.s. to iranian-backed militias here. iran has powerful allies, proxy forces across the middle east. at least a dozen militias in iraq, groups in syria now battle hardened the powerful hezbollah which dominates yemen and houthi rebels in yemen. iran's revolutionary guard backs finances or arms all these groups u.s. intelligence officials have briefed congress on what they call iranian threat streams to the u.s. and iraq prompting trump ally republican senator lindsey graham to tweet, if the iranian threats are activated we must deliver an overwhelming

military response, adding, stand firm, mr. president. iran's president rouhani responded this morning saying he favors talks and diplomacy, but right now that's not possible. so he is not ruling it out so, he says, we have to resist iran is also appealing to the u.n. saying the situation is alarming on that, craig and savannah, most people in this region would agree. >> bill neely in iraq for us thank you. to alaska where authorities are investigating yet another deadly crash involving a seaplane and it comes just one week after two planes carrying tourists collided killing six people. nbc's molly hunter has the latest on this crash good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right two people were killed in this latest crash, a pilot and a passenger, and the plane involved is owned by the exact same company that was involved in last week's midair collision. once again ntsb investigators will try to piece together what happened

your emotions are separate ♪ >> everyone's in a hurry to do things that we don't slow down and talk >> reporter: all the time teens spend on social media instead of face to face doesn't ride. youth suicide is the second legally cause of death, and kids are overscheduled and feel pressure to excel and often don't have a supportive adult they can talk to it's not easy for teens to share. coach juan's own son, brandon, found it difficult to admit how he was feeling >> i had had suicidal thoughts and so for me, it was embarrassing, you know, to have to tell my parents, have to tell my parents that. >> reporter: with his dad encouraging openness, he says the team has gotten stronger >> there you go! >> he's very open, and that makes us able to be more open with him, as well. >> what's going on i think it shows that someone cares. i think it shows them that somebody's listening somebody's willing to help them out sometimes.

and to them, that's important. they feel love they feel cared about. >> he has really built a connection with these kids he puts a big emphasis on not only connecting with them but finding their faith, as well and they have this thing they do, guys, where they do team dinners. and they start by going around and having everybody say their most embarrassing moment it's just a way to break the ice. i thought it was a great tip for families that you might just do that just to get people talking. >> what a helpful story. your perspective, as well, being the parent of teenagers yourself, too, right >> yeah. tough. let's bring in dr. harold kopelwitz from the child mind institute in new york city our new nbc news survey monkey poll found that 55% of persons would expect their child to come to them if they were experiencing some sort of mental health issue that means 45% are not so sure doctor, good morning >> good morning. >> so 56% increase between 2007

and 2016 in suicides in this country. what are we doing wrong? what are we not doing? >> i think number one as a nation we have to say suicide is not an acceptable death for teenagers. think about it 5,000 teenagers will kill themselves this year, and now 1.2 million will show up at an emergency room because of suicidal thoughts or suicidal behavior that's twice as much as four years ago. that means one every 30 seconds is going to an emergency room. so a nation has to say we're wearing seat belts, we're tackling aids, we're taking care of kids with asthma, we will not let kids die of suicide. and therefore, that means that parents have to be involved, doctors have to be involved, the media has to be involved >> one of the things that's striking about kate's story is that these situations seem to come out of nowhere. the parents did not see it coming i think probably most parents think i would know if my child was down in the dumps, if they were thinking about this i would know the teenage brain is not like the adult brain. it's just different. explain. >> right so children and adults have

different types of brains than adolescents. adolescents can learn more they can still learn chinese, we can't. our brains have gotten very old. they can get bad habits, but they also are more impulsive, they feel things more intensely. because of that they are more at risk for psychiatric disorders depression is more commo lessents -- adolescents. they can be contagious so that suicide for a teenager can be a contagious phenomena while it wouldn't be that way for an adult. >> i was going to ask because the teen profiled in utah, one happened and six months later the second player. they really worried about -- they were basically trying to stop it from happening again that can happen. >> this kind of cluster has happened across the nation it's not unusual that kids are -- teenagers think about suicide. two million teenagers have suicidal thoughts that they're acting upon them

soer that -- they're not acting upon them. that's why they're affected when it happens and "13 reasons why" can be dangerous for a teenager and not a child or adult and things like "heaven myself" or those who say i struggled i got treatment, you're not alone, can be positive effects on teenage boys >> impressionable. >> quickly, you mentioned three ds that parents should be on the lookout for. in terms of changes in behavior. what are they? >> when behavior changes it's the duringation, is it more than weeks, the level of distress and the level of dysfunction so if your kid stops sleeping -- parents can get more help when they look at symptom checkers like on childmind.org. >> thank you so much kate thank you you'll have a piece in the "usa today" tomorrow morning about being the mom of teenagers we've got a lot more on today.com including how the parents of the boys from kate's piece are working now, trying to help other families. plus, be sure to look out for more of our "kids under

whatever is in your mind or your heart this morning, you can do it every person sitting here has some kinds of dream. an idea of what their lives might look like. it could be a career goal. it could be an athletic achievement. it could be the place you want to live or the family that you hope to create here's the thing -- whisper to yourself if you must, but say it out loud put it out there, don't curb your ambitions don't tell yourself i could never do that. i'm not good enough. it's too much. my advice is really simple -- think big for yourself, and then just head in that general direction. whether you arrive at the ideal destination is not even the point. the point is to be ambitious for your life and then just try. maybe you're lost and adrift, maybe you're frozen to the spot and you don't know what to dream or where to go next or even how to start thinking about how to get there.

that's fine whoever you are. the one with it all figured out or the one who is lost, it's fine i can promise you, you are on your way anyway. you are going where you need to go ready or not, here you come because the journey itself is your destination the path is your purpose don't worry so much. things have a way of working out. and life can handle a few of your missteps, even your biggies. the times you ruined your life, you didn't you may leave your path, but your path doesn't leave you. don't waste your time feeling old when you're young. love and appreciate your own uneerk beauty. you know -- unique beauty. you know that picture you want to delete? it's the picture you might look back and say, wow, i looked pretty good back then. don't stress when other people seem to be going higher and faster, they're getting married sooner, having kids when you can't, when others are getting that promotion, buying that house, going on that trip, having those friends

we are back at 8:30 with allison williams. she sta we're back with allison williams she started in "girls" and scared audiences everywhere in "get out." now she is taking on a terrifying and i mean terrifying new role in the movie "the perfection." she plays a troubled musical prodigy who seeks out the star cello student at her former school >> burning up -- >> it's going to be okay >> no, it's not. it's not - >> listen to me, something is wrong. something is wrong with me >> lizzie, i know, that's why we need to get you help >> i'm dying i'm dying. what's happening what's happening

>> nothing good's happening there in that scene. bugs coming up out of the arms and -- >> you know, it happens. >> this is so scary. the trailer had me like -- >> i know -- >> -- feeling terrified. >> i promise -- okay, there's clearly something i'm working through. however, i love the genre because without giving anything away because this movie is full of spoilers, it's just going to take you on a ride that you're not expecting. like whatever you think is going to happen based on that clip, you're not right just sit back and let it happen. >> our producer who saw the film said that every time she thought she knew where it was going, it goes a different directions. she said when she told you she had seen it, you said, "are you okay." >> exactly it's intense to watch it it's soon to be talking to me. i had the same experience reading it >> first of all, do you like scary movies is this something you would do in your normal off time? >> kind of yes, i sort of like them i'm not obsessed with them i guess i am starting to identify as someone who's obsessed with them or at least is obsessed with making them

i get scared i watch scary movies on airplanes because there's a lot of ambient activity. it's easier to not be scared, to think think it's real. >> not a plane crash movie >> terrible idea i made that mistake before it's not a pleasant flight experience yeah i don't love being scared. but these movies are psychological thrillers. they're not like horror movies like you're checking under your bed before you go to sleep it is much more psychological and deeply human which may be even more scary. >> lots of twists and turns. now i heard you screened this with your family what did they think? >> i did -- they, like me, did not -- are not genre people. they were -- >> i don't think -- your dad, brian williams, our friend and colleague. i can't imagine that he would -- i feel like he wouldn't like scary movies >> i feel like they're very -- they're excited to be introduced to this whole different kind of movie that we never watched as a family usually we watch just "love actually" several times a year >> that's the brian i know >> that's where we're usually as a family this is where we go.

>> you kind of owe them a nice movie. because "get out" was scary. then "girls" was hard for parents to watch on a different level. >> yes i think i owe them a movie where i'm a puppy wrangler, and nothing really happens i just wrangle puppies for an entire 90 minutes. >> or a wedding planner, kindergarten teacher, romantic comedy >> i'm already crafting those ideas in my brain. there's something deeply wrong happening that i need to work through. >> what i love, allison, you get out of your comfort zone and i know you worked really hard after marnie which was such a successful character this breakout role for you. you did not want to do ten more roles like that. pushed yourself. >> that's true i am very grateful to you for saying that. it is such an incredible gift of a problem to have that people associate you with a character so strongly. and it just required some patience and selectivity on my part and then jordan peele comes along with this insane character in "get out. i just thought what a gift it's using audience's understanding of me as marnie against them and then in "the perfection,"

we're assuming you're coming with all of the emotional hangover of "get out." when you see me on screen you're supposed to not trust me that's okay. >> no spoiler alert, i don't think you shoud trusted. >> i understand. >> you have a billboard in times square >> i do. >> have you seen it yet? >> not in person >> you need to visit it -- >> i'm not at a level where that doesn't phase me that's crazy my face in times square where so many people are and i spent so much time. wild >> we are close, go over and take a picture >> i will. >> boast post is on instagram are we going to write letters after this we're pen pals >> of course you're one of the only people that ever wrote me a thank you note back for a thank you note >> a beautiful traditional that you send thank you notes nobody writes back >> no because i think they're like, whoa, what is this thing that's arrived in my house >> i wrote a thank you note. >> so nice made me happy. >> if you write me, i'll write you back again >> we'll keep it going >> love it we're making the post office work "the perfection" is out on netflix this friday. brace yourselves over to you. >> thanks.
