swirling around his future in the nfl. >> i'll know when i know. >> so is there a chance we've seen his final game? and what he's saying about a retirement decision that could change the face of football. today, tuesday, january 25th, 2022. from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb. from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. hey, everybody, welcome to "today" on this tuesday morning, so happy you're with us. probably in tampa they're going, what? >> reading the tea leaves ahead of the nfl big conference finals. a lot of football fans are focused on tom brady's future after 22 seasons and seven super bowl rings. is he finally ready to consider calling it quits. >> brady talked about his future yesterday, he sounded a little different than in the past. we'll unpack that for you. another big talker, wall street.

in the wake of the dow's 1,200-point swing in one day, crazier than the bills and the chiefs the other night. why is this happening and what should people watch out for today? we're going to get in into that. we start with the rising tensions in the ukraine. the pentagon putting 8,500 troops on alert as president biden waits for the next move. we'll start with nbc correspondent kelly o'donnell. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. despite menacing behavior from defense officials have sent additional marines to protect the american embassy in ukraine's capital and active duty units in the united states are getting the call to prepare as president biden considering a range of military options to protect europe. >> reporter: this morning, the dangerous and escalating actions of vladimir putin could send

thousands of american troops overseas. 8,500 u.s. soldiers and service members are now on heightened alert. ready to be sent to europe to join a nato response force. >> no final decision has been made to deploy them. >> but president biden did committee to make u.s. troops available if the 30-nation nato alliance needs more military help. >> we're going to fortify our nato allies. >> reporter: monday, in the situation room, he met by videoconference with eight european leaders. last week the president said there were differences among leaders. but now he claims they're in full agreement. >> i had a very, very, very good meeting, totally united with all the european leaders. >> reporter: pressure is building as putin defies demands to pull back. as russia continues to build up troops near ukraine, the russian ministry of defense released video of its forces preparing readiness checks. >> they have not only shown no

signs of de-escalating but they are in fact adding more force capability. >> reporter: a disturbing sign that pushed nato to ask member nations to do more. >> i welcome that allies are stepping up. >> reporter: the white house is putting the risks in stark terms. >> we have been very clear and the president has been direct that military action by russia could come at any time. >> reporter: vice president harris traveling in milwaukee with a warning for putin. >> i can't tell you what he's going to do. but we are prepared to take decisive action if he moves in an aggressive manner into ukraine. >> reporter: speaker pelosi and leader schumer asked the white house to set up in-person briefings on ukraine for all members of the house and senate and plans for that are moving forward, hoda. >> meantime, kelly, there was another headline out of washington, president biden was caught swearing on a hot mic at a reporter yesterday.

what happened there? >> that's a great asset. more inflation. what a stupid son of a [ bleep ]. >> reporter: reporters had asked the president about ukraine, an urgent topic because the president has not said if he is sending troops overseas. but he appeared frustrated, saying he wanted questions on the subject of the event, which was related to the economy. so peter doocy of fox asked about inflation and got an insulting response back from the president. the white house says the president called doocy last night and said it wasn't personal and they cleared the air. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you. meanwhile all eyes are on wall street. at one point the dow was down more than 1100 points. but by the closing bell, it was up nearly 100 points. the nasdaq and s&p also experiencing a wild day. what does the volatility mean for your wallet? nbc business correspondent stephanie ruhle, i love a roller

coaster as much as the next one, but this was crazy. what is causing these swings? >> watching the market was like watching the nfl over the weekend. clearly a lot going on. you have to put things in perspective. we started the year with markets hitting record highs, good news. the economy clearly in recovery, very good news. but at the same time, inflation is hitting a 40-year high. that's not good news. the federal reserve is likely taking action, they're meeting over the next couple of days and we'll likely get an announcement of plans to raise interest rates. that will be meant to cool the economy a bit and slow inflation. now, the markets don't necessarily like that because when interest rates are at zero, that means it's very cheap for companies to go out and borrow, to grow their businesses. it's like having a safety net under the stock market. we're likely going to hear from the fed they're going to pull that safety net away which means the economy is stronger but it makes the markets jittery. a lot of corporate earnings this

week, some of the biggest companies out there are having mixed performances. the last thing is geopolitical risk, the news we're getting between the united states and russia and potential conflict in ukraine. that has a lot of investors throughout the day pulling out. then when you talk about the wild swings, we saw markets drop so much, they hadn't hit these levels since march of 2020. by the end of the day a lot of investors said, hold on, at these prices i may be looking to step back in. that's when we saw green at the end of the day, a reminder that the stock market doesn't just go up, it also goes down. >> steph, let's talk about everyday people, they invest a little, maybe their 401(k) is invested in the market, they freaked out at this rise and fall, they may be panicking. should they pull out? >> that he should absolutely not panic. but stocks go up and down, volatility, corrections, these are normal parts of the market. the last 18 months we've had with all of the fed support,

that's not normal. people need to remember, though, investing in the stock market should be for five years or more. saving, building up for retirement. the stock market is not a place to play. if you're looking to make some money for an addition you want to put on your house or save up for a vacation, playing the markets is not for investors. hang tight. >> all right, stephanie ruhle for us, steph, thank you. now to the latest twist in the pandemic with the omicron surge beginning to slow in a number of states. the battle over masks is once again intensifying, especially when it comes to schools miguel almaguer has the latest miguel, good morning >> reporter: savannah, good morning. the first batch of 400 million n95 masks president biden committed to sending out for free is starting to arrive in some parts of country, as the debate over masks in classrooms and in the state of new york is heating up once again. overnight, confusion for new york's schools and businesses as a judge strikes down the state's mask mandate, saying governor kathy hochul's rule for public

indoor spaces is unconstitutional the governor vowing to fight back and some districts saying they were told by the department of education that schools must continue to follow the rule. leaving uncertainty for parents and kids this morning as more than 1 million children in the u.s. have contracted the virus in a single week there's renewed pushback against mask rules in other states students in utah returning to schools without a mandate. the same is true in virginia where seven school districts are challenging the governor's statewide ban on mask requirements. >> i honestly don't want my kids in masks forever but i understand it's necessary right now. >> in los angeles, they say cloth masks won't cut it and will provide students and staff with surgical grade face coverings which must be worn at

all times. >> we need to learn to adapt so that we will survive covid and that does mean, for example, upping our masking >> reporter: it comes as pockets of the country pass omicron's peak top doctors warn the latest covid wave may not be the last >> the worst case scenario that when we do that, we get another variant that might be difficult, that would elude some of the protection from vaccination. >> reporter: the cautious outlook comes amid a national drop in new infections but more than 2,200 people are dying each day and 16 states are still seeing cases spike. meanwhile, covid mitigation tools promised by the biden administration are finally getting into the hands of americans. free at-home test kits are starting to be delivered and pharmacies in the midwest are already distributing high grade face masks with availability expected to expand by friday. the fda is also ending the use for now of two monoclonal

antibody treatments saying the treatments are not effective against the omicron variant. the fda adding both treatments could be used later in the pandemic as new variants emerge, savannah >> interesting, miguel, thank you very much. coming up on 7:12. craig joins us with a story we're following, good morning. >> good morning, good morning to you as well. we want to turn to a troubling spike in carjacking, part of a larger violent crime wave in the country right now. nbc national correspondent gabe gutierrez joins us with this one. >> reporter: craig, good morning. comprehensive national data on carjacking is not available from the fbi but many large cities are reporting a significant rise during the pandemic. police call it a crime of opportunity. carjackers attacking unsuspecting drivers, swiping their vehicle, and in some cases more >> they're taking cars with all weapons, gunpoint, knives.

police say many times young joyriders are responsible. >> our carjacking offenders are increasingly younger and younger. we are trying to encourage our young people to make better decisions. >> reporter: another example of rising violent crime, recent shootings of police officers in from houston to d.c. in new york, the new mayor, a retired police captain, is promising reinstatement of plainclothes officer units to stem the flow of illegal firearms >> we will not surrender our city to the violent few. >> reporter: always lock your doors and windows, never leave your car running unattended and be especially aware in public places like gas stations >> thanks, gabe. al is tracking a round of frigid temps and rubbing his hands together at what might be another winter storm >> we're looking at a little storm here in chicago, a clipper coming across will bring light

to bring snow down to norfolk. we've got the two models, the european and the american model. the american track brings it further offshore that means less snow the european model brings it closer to the northeast coast and that will be heavier snow, bigger wind event as well. we're going to call for generally light totals along the northeastern coast, heavy amounts in the interior sections however, if we have to adjust that, we'll keep you posted. that may shift a little further east we're going to continue to watch it either way, it's going to be a windy event up and down the east coast. so we're going to be watch good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. taking a live look outside in oakland, it is foggy, and especially foggy from the north bay into san francisco. we see a foggy start, but also cold temperatures, starting out in the upper 30s. we will warm up once all of this fog clears out and a hazy sunshine for today, with our valley temperatures reaching into the mid-60s.

welcome back well, if you are wondering how to encourage your kids to pry their eyes away from a screen and get involved in their communities, this is for you supreme court justice sonia sotomayor is out with a beautiful new picture book it's called "just help: how to build a better world." it's available in english and in spanish and it is filled with ways that kids of all ages can help their friends and their neighbors in big ways, small ways and justice sotomayor joins us right now good morning, it's nice to see you. >> good morning, savannah. it's wonderful to be here with you today. >> i really loved paging through this book and then learning that it was inspired by your own mom. i know she passed away recently. what do you think she would have thought about this tribute to her?

>> oh, she would have been just delighted. i was just exchanging emails with a friend this morning, and they were congratulating me on the new book and telling me how pleased mom would be and i wrote back, this morning mom would have gotten up with a big smile and waited to see me on television. and i know she's doing that right now. >> no question about it. and the illustrations, which is how i first judge any children's book as a mom myself, you got to have good pictures, they're adorable we see mommy and we see little sonia and your mom in this book, she asks the question of little sonia every day, how will you help today why did you think that was a good idea for a children's book? >> well, you know, people think about civic participation as being just limited to being elected, a government official of some kind, like the president does public service, or maybe the people who go into the

military do public service i don't think that kids -- many adults don't realize that public service is not just those big acts of getting elected and making changes that way, but it's the little things that each of us does every day to improve our communities. and so for me, mom's question always reminded me that things don't happen just because. they happen because each of us purposely acts, each of us thinks about ways every day of improving the world. >> and we're seeing -- we're seeing images from the book. and i remember years ago, justice sotomayor, we walked together in your old neighborhood in the bronx when your memoir came out and once again that neighborhood feels like a character in this book too. it's about that community, it's a love story for that community. but also, just for community in

general. teaching kids about caring for the place around them in little ways and in big ways >> yes small steps and big steps. i don't know how many of you remember neil armstrong when we landed on the moon he said, that's one step for man, and a giant leap for mankind. changes in the world don't happen always in giant leaps it takes every one of us, purposely looking at the world around us, and saying, how do i make it better today what can i do to improve things? and if we each did that, we would be living in a better world. >> well, i know that you are not permitted to discuss any case or controversy before the supreme court in this interview and i'm not even going to try it let me ask you this, just generally, there is concern that the court as an institution, it's credibility has been falling. a poll found that 54% of

americans have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the court. how much do you worry about that, the court as an institution, and how the public sees it? >> i think all of us worry about that we think about ways in which we can comport ourselves, among ourselves, to ensure that the public has confidence in what we're doing. i do mean to discuss this a little bit with the public to assure them that one of the hardest things about our work is that there are no easy answers reasonable people can disagree in fact, we only take cases when there are circuits -- i shouldn't say only, but largely most of our case docket is when the courts below have disagreed. and because of that, obviously, just as the larger society disagrees about the answers to

some of our problems, so does the court. and if you bear that in mind, perhaps the public can be more accepting of the kind of work we do >> finally, i noted that this is your fourth children's book. and i had to laugh because i've read a few court opinions and you've written a few court opinions, that's pretty dense writing. is there something about writing a children's book that is kind of a relief? >> absolutely. it's wonderful i have to tell you, it's somehow harder to write a children's back than an adult book because in a children's book, you have to think about every word. you are limited to 1800, 1900 words. and every word has to mean something and has to convey an image to a child so that they can see clearly in their own minds. for that reason, it's a harder book to write. harder to be concise than to just keep writing what one's thinking. >> i thought you were going to say that writing a children's

book is harder than a supreme court opinion. i could see that i know you love to go out on book tour and hug the kids you've been doing a virtual tour hopefully you'll be able to get out on the road again. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you, savannah >> and, again, the book is called "just help. you can find out more about it on our website coming up next, jacob ward sharing a look at the many ways good and bad that technology is rapidly changing how we interact with eh other. acbu

wanna help kids get their homework done? well, an internet connection's a good start. but kids also need computers. and sometimes the hardest thing about homework is finding a place to do it. so why not hook community centers up with wifi? for kids like us, and all the amazing things we're gonna learn. through projectup, comcast is committing $1 billion

so millions more students can continue to get the tools they need to build a future of unlimited possibilities. i hope you're ready. 'cause we are. 8:43 here's a question, how often do you make decisions based solely on computer algorithms from the netflix recommendation, to google maps, these technologies are becoming more powerful and they are fundamentally shaping the way we behave and interact with each other. and that happens to be the theme of the new book, it's called

"the loop" by jacob ward jake, good morning this is scary stuff and i actually like your subtitle here, how technology is creating a world without choices and how to fight back. when i was reading that, i was thinking to myself, it's so true i don't know how to get into my car to drive somewhere anymore i don't really know how to spell things anymore should you break up with your boyfriend? take this quiz you find that your choices are sort of just evaporating right in front of you. >> it's absolutely true, hoda. when i think about it, right, i can't even find my way around my own town anymore unless i have google maps on a phone, on the dashboard. and i wrote this book to articulate all the other places in our lives where automated systems are going to basically take over our decision-making in everything from how we talk with our friends, to who we hire for a job, who gets a loan, who gets bail all of that is lined up to be taken over by technology,

especially with the rise of artificial intelligence. >> jake, a lot of people would say, thank god for it because now i can find my way places people think, that's great for me i don't have to think about that that's the shirt that's perfect for me >> that's absolutely right, hoda we did, for instance, a story once upon a time about a year ago about a system called co-parenter. it's a great example of what you're talking about this is basically a robot coach, a kind of mediator that gets in between divorced couples who are trying to take care of a child and when those couples begin to fight with one another by text, literally, if i were to start to text, you know, i'll never give you another dime, starting to fall apart, the text message would be interrupted by the app and says, oh, literally sends me a warning saying, you shouldn't write this

you're going to get back into trouble and have to go back to court. the people we spoke to say they never have had a problem again fantastic. amazing. here's the thing, now cast your mind 10, 20 years into the future and think about children who have only grown up in an environment like that. they've got to have their parents together, but do they know themselves how to have difficult conversations with other people and you got to think about it this way, there are companies out there that are using that same kind of pattern recognition technology to act as a coach in all sorts of relationships between co-workers, for instance, so i think of, you know, one of y we're talking about a world in which in the future you could have a robot whispering in your ear, this is your moment, ask savannah about her weekend now make fun of craig's tie. it's that kind of mediating behavior-shaping kind of robot intervention that ai is going to make possible.

>> the whole thing sounds terrifying to me what's your biggest concern as we look down the road? >> well, i think we are lucky right now that it is sort of in the fashion of the technology industry to be about social justice and equity and thinking about systemic inequalities. but it is really just luck that that is the case and there are corners of this world in which we are not lucky in that way. so there are some extraordinarily cynical people out there who create all sorts of extremely addictive apps, for instance, around gambling, that take the most basic instincts in our brains and use ai to find the most susceptible people to c compulsive gambling and wind up taking all of their life savings over the course of just a few months that kind of story is really the underbelly for me, we need to jump in on that kind of thing immediately

but down the road, this thing that looks convenient in the short term but could have a long-term effect on our ability to make decisions for ourselves that i worry aboutd "the loop: how technology is creating a world without choices and how to fight back." the how to fight back piece is very important it's all in this book. jake, we're so proud of you for coming up with this book we hope a lot of people pick it up you can get the book at today.com/shop coming up next, from kitchen coming up next, from kitchen essentials to beau and now for our high school's most admired alum.
