because they had a registered handgun and a small amount of pot. but when police stopped them a short time later, they say now, ex-cop, emmitt martin iii pulled the gun and threatened to shoot them both in the face. harris alleging even more disturbing details, adding that martin iii pinned him down, put a knee on his neck, and pointed his gun at his head, saying i'll blow your face off. they never filed a complaint. martin's lawyer and the city's police union did not respond to nbc's request for comment. the allegations the latest claim being made against the memphis police department, in the wake of nichols' deadly beating. seven officers are off the job. including five terminated and charged with murder. attorneys for two of the men charged say they'll plead not guilty. it comes as the disciplinary records of the other former officers are coming to light, including two who were previously disciplined, according to personnel files reviewed by "the new york times." desmond mills jr. and demetrius haley were reprimanded about failing to file mandatory reports about use, involving arrests that involved use of force.

delaware owned by the president. kristen, what are you learning this morning? >> the fbi is currently conducting a planned search of president biden's beach house in delaware. one of the sources telling me there was no search warrant issued. president biden's personal attorney confirming this saying, quote, the doj is conducting a planned search. the search today is a process and we will continue to support and facilitate. we will have further information on today's search. it's not clear if they are looking for general documents or a general search for classified documents, but it comes as we learned about another search in november. when fbi agents searched his

private office here in washington after the president's attorneys first discovered classified documents at the same location. despite the white house's claims of transparency, they did not publicly divulge that november search. >> and then president biden expected to sit down with the new house speaker, kevin mccarthy, to speak about the ongoing standoff over the debt limit among other things. any chance they will make real progress? >> doesn't look like it. frankly, the expectations could not be lower at this meeting. there's no chance they will make real progress on reaching a deal to raise the debt limit. speaker mccarthy said he won't

support the raising of the debt limit unless it comes with cuts. mccarthy has not been specific about what he wants to cut. >> kristin, thank you. breaking news from the nfl. seven-time super bowl champ tom brady is retir >> thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. i wouldn't change a thing. >> the former buccaneers and patriot's quarterback making that announcement, and he said this time it's, quote, for good. he thanked his teammates and fans for their support. also this morning we are learning more about the evidence against alec baldwin and a weapons specialists after they

were officially charged with involuntary manslaughter on the set of the movie "rust." craig, good morning. with alec baldwin and hannah gutierrez-reed, there's a laundry list of critical missteps that led up to the fatal shooting. the da laying out a case that could carry, if convicted, up to 6 1/2 years in prison. baldwin ptold invesnttigators was thoroughly trained. >> we spent an hour and a half shooting -- >> in a new statement of probable cause, the d.a. says baldwin was not present for required firearms training prior

to the commencement of filming. then was later distracted and talking on his cell phone to hi family during the training, cutting the hour-long session is half. >> i let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off. >> reporter: the explosive new allegations also dispute baldwin's assertion he never pulled the trigger. the d.a. saying he may have photos and video that clearly show the actor's finger on the trigger multiple times. >> i would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them, never. >> reporter: calling the charges a miscarriage of justice, the d.a. pointed to the actor's public assertion he is an expert in the realm of firearms and film making. investigators say baldwin should have never handled the weapon in a negligent manner. >> the gun was in his hand when he pulled the trigger. and that was the main action that killed halyna hutchins. >> reporter: after finding six live rounds on the set, including one on baldwin's holster, the d.a. believes hannah gutierrez-reed, the armorer loaded the gun given to baldwin with the 25-year-old also charged with involuntary

manslaughter, her attorneys say gutierrez-reed asked to use a plastic gun for the rehearsal, and was told no. her lawyers adding, we will fight these charges. >> why was hannah gutierrez-reed charged with involuntary manslaughter? >> she was in charge of the actual weapons and making sure they were secure and safe. >> reporter: this morning, allegations of a fatal chain of critical mistakes as the actor and armorer face the pausability of serious prison time. prosecutors also alleging new details related to the original camera crew who quit and were replaced one day before the shooting, partially over safety concerns, they say halyna hutchins and the director were supposed to be outside during the fatal scene, but because the crew abruptly changed, they decided to go inside the church, with baldwin, the d.a. adding baldwin as a producer failed to

act and address safety concerns with that in crew. craig. >> nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer for us there, thank you. a couple of weeks after someone hit that massive $1.3 billion mega millions prize, another lottery jackpot is growing. this time is the powerball, and the top prize is $653 million. that is the eighth highest powerball jackpot of all time. no one has won it since november so the prize money has been rolling over and growing ever since. the next drawing is tonight. so get your tickets if you're feeling lucky. >> yeah, all right. mr. roker is back now with a look at the rest of the national forecast. what are we looking at, al? >> sunny and warm weather for our friends down in florida. so that's where you're looking for a little warmth and sunshine. you might want to head down there. bitter cold in the plains. that ice storm firing up again, texas all the way into tennessee. and egbeautiful weather out wese a few snow showers as you get into parts of western montana.

that way with the trial now in its second week, the focus in a south carolina courtroom is centering around the words of alex murdaugh, the former high profile attorney accused of killing his wife, maggie, and son, paul, on the family's sprawling property back in 2001. on tuesday, the jury showed alex's final text message to maggie, call me babe, that message left unread, sent a short time after prosecutors say maggie and paul were gunned down but it was a five-word statement made by murdaugh in a lengthy interview with police three days after the murders that both sides have scrutinized in court >> i did him so bad. >> reporter: according to investigators, i did him so bad, as murdaugh tearfully discussed his son. but the defense pushing back, arguing murdaugh said they, and not "i," even playing a slowed down version of that audio for

the jury still, jeff croft, a senior special agent with south carolina's law enforcement division maintaining he hear "i." in cross-examination, the defense questioning croft. why, if you believe murdaugh made a possible confession, croft only made what he called a mental note. >> if the guy in the middle of a circle, and the only one in the circle says i did him so bad, isn't that a significant statement if he actually said that >> definitely something we would follow up with. >> a forensic expert later also revealing maggie's phone had been in airplane mode with the wi-fi turned off, though still able to capture device activity. >> within the space of two minutes, you see three separate calls from alex's call incoming into maggie's phone, is that correct. >> yes, that's correct >> prosecutors seeming to suggest someone picked up maggie's phone, minutes after

her murder >> it appears the phone's being moved, and cameras activated in the background to see if it would recognize somebody's face and would unlock it. >> the trial continuing today. what else could we learn in court from those cell phones >> reporter: well, i think one of the biggest pieces of evidence in this case, craig, at least what we have heard so far, the one everyone seems to be waiting for, is the cell phone video that was taken from paul murdaugh's phone inside that kennel, about an hour before alex died 911. paul was actually showing a friend the condition of his dog in that kennel, and prosecutors say you can hear alex murdaugh's voice in the background, you don't physically see him on camera, but you hear him, that places him at the scene, just an hour before that 911 call. it blows a pretty big hole in the alibi if the jury believes it, because murdaugh says he was never inside that kennel that night until he discovered the bodies craig? >> a time line that is so important.

to you what a conversation this was you know, when you talk with sheriff dawanna witt, even she well tell you that law enforcement was probably the last profession she expected to join growing up. she doesn't shy away from her difficult childhood, in fact she does it every chance she can, a way to inspire others and help build trust, something that is especially meaningful when you consider where she's serving inside the hennepin county jail, nate johnson's free writers class has a special guest. >> this is the end of the line for you. >> sheriff witt, a few weeks on the job, it is not unusual to see her here but what might surprise you is what she says. >> i was that person who was afraid of the police i saw my brothers get kicked many times by the police. >> reporter: it is why she says

she never expected to find herself in a uniform what led you to law enforcement? >> you know, i used to tell people, it was an accident i do tell people, this is my purpose. >> reporter: if there is a conventional path to law enforcement, sheriff wit is far from it. growing up in south minneapolis with her four siblings, drugs and violence were always nearby. by age 15, dawanna was a mother. >> i saw myself as a statistic. >> as a teenaged mother. >> as a teenaged mother. as someone growing up in poverty. my mother had a drug addiction my father was an alcoholic >> reporter: and with that environment came a very early mistrust of police >> a plan was shot, he was shot by the police, actually, and i was four or five years old. >> reporter: years ago, something changed when sheriff wit working for a nonprofit happened to take a tour of the jail. >> at end of that tour, they talked about how they needed women in the field and women of color. >> reporter: she applied on a whim and got hired as a detention deputy that's when her views started to shift. >> i started having more encounters with law enforcement. men and women. and getting to know them as

individuals. you know, my barriers that i had, they were falling >> reporter: over the next two decades, she worked her way up through the ranks. then, in january - >> according to the the best of my ability. >> reporter: sheriff witt became the first woman to lead her department and the first black female sheriff in the state of minnesota, a milestone that is all the more meaningful when you consider where she is. >> black lives matter. black lives matter >> reporter: hennepin county the very county where george floyd was killed the street where he died was just a block away from the community center where sheriff witt grew up >> you watch that video, along with the rest of the world, the big difference of course is that you were watching it happen in your own community >> that was probably one of the most difficult times of my entire life. it ruined a lot of things that i had been done to make this profession better and to bridge the gap with the community. >> reporter: she said the hits came from all sides. >> people would look at me as a black woman, as a black person,

in a uniform, like what are you doing? you know, being called names, traitor, to aunty tammy, instead of uncle tom. >> fellow black people who would look at you and with law enforcement. >> exactly you know, you're on the wrong side sorry, i can never talk about this, i was getting a little choked up, but if people would have just known the story, of like what it takes to do this job, as a black person, and to have people say those things to you, it was hurtful. >> despite it all, she says she never thought about leaving the job. >> i knew that i needed to be a person who could interpret, if you will, what people were seeing, because everybody couldn't understand that >> for sheriff witt, then a major, that meant talking to people protesters face to face even when other officers warned her not to

a step toward building trust >> we've had a sense of safety and security >> reporter: last november, one of her very first visits, after winning the election, was the jail and as she walked among the inmates, sheriff witt got a big surprise >> people were standing up and applauding me. they were like that's our sheriff, ya'll i realized that i'm a symbol of hope for some people and a hope for change. so i got a lot to live up to, but i'm ready for it. >> reporter: just a fascinating conversation with sheriff witt i should note that we did that interview before the news of tyre nichols' death rocked the country. she has since in a statement spoken out against those officers' actions. in her previous role before she was elected sheriff, she was in charge of the jail and courthouse security. that means that she was the head of security during the derek chauvin trial. she talked about how difficult that period was for the entire city, but she says her philosophy then as well as now, is i talk to everyone, she says that's how you build trust and

that's something that she says she brings to this role as sheriff. guys >> what a journey. >> yes, she is extraordinary, what a conversation. i could listen to another two hours of that. >> yes. >> thank you for bringing us that story >> thank you, blayne. up next, we've got some exercises to strengthen your heart. plus the remarkable success o in las vegas, the most popular food is broccoli. yeah, that's the only food. they have broccoli smoothies, and broccoli pancakes, and broccoli ice cream, and broccoli hotdogs, and of course, they have raw unseasoned broccoli..... with stems. -daddy, i don't want to go to las vegas with you and mommy tomorrow.

teaching kindergarten when i got sick with what i thought was a bad cold it went on for weeks and i continued to get weaker. my mother insisted i get a chest x-ray. that's when the doctors discovered i had cardio myopathy, a disease that changes the way the heart functions. i was rushed to the hospital for emergency open heart surgery five years ago and then my heart stopped. after being revived, i lived with a heart pumping device for six months then i referred a life-saving heart transplant i had to learn how to walk again and use walking as a means to recover. my favorite place to walk is at universal studios. i joined the "start today" walking challenge last june because of the inspiring community. >> we're here at universal orlando. >> and in november, of last year, i was able to be one of the walkers. >> here we go. >> alongside al roker at universal. since my surgery, i have lost 120 pounds and walked a 5 k for donate life. i continue to walk to keep my heart strong >> now, let's meet her, kathy

motivational on videos and it is great because every day there are new posts about how much people have walked or getting motivated. >> steph, we think about, it is valentine's day, in february, and heart, and emotion, but it is also about health >> that's right. you know, a lot of people think about cardio exercise, when it comes to their heart health and that is extremely important, we've got our walking challenge, but in addition for this month for heart healthy month we are focusing on strength training and that's because research actually shows when you combine cardio with strength training, you get more benefits for your heart than if you were just to do cardio exercise and that's because we know, building lean muscle mass helps us to speed up the metabolism, burn more calories and therefore help us maintain a healthy weight. >> so you talk about upper body exercises. >> so we will start up with upper body exercises and grab the dumb bells, three pounds, kind of light and go up from there. what we are going to do first is the w exercise

i want you to connect emotional this month, our heart health healthy month, feel like a winner, as you move into that w, and then bring it back down. we're opening wide on this diagonal and coming down to the shoulders, abs pull in, feel that, kathy? >> yes. >> working the upper body and the shoulders. and the next upper body exercise is a v for victory so i want you to feel victorious, as you do your workout. if you're sitting at home wondering, oh, gosh, i don't know if i can do this with the weights, that's okay put the weights down and do this for shoulder mobility. >> how many reps >> ten repetitions and move on to the next exercise. >> next exercise. >> i will show you goddess pose. so we will unleash that inner goddess. even you, al >> yes >> opening wide into a wide leg open toe squat, lower down abs nice and tight and lower down, and the inner goddess is unleashing, stand up, and then strengthen the quads and the

hamstrings the next exercise is a warrior 2. kathy, you are such a warrior, al, you've been so much, you're a warrior as well. what i want you to do is open the legs here into a warrior 2 position, knee over the ankle, good, yes, exactly, al, perfect. abs in bend the knee over the ankle and press to stands up some of the this is a dynamic yoga pose that we turned into a strength training exercise, so if you're at home wondering, okay, how can i unleash my inner warrior, and maybe you've been through some health issues and maybe you're having a hard time getting started this year, scan that qr code on our screen, join our "start today" community, people like kathy, myself, you, al, we're motivating you every step of the way. >> thank you very much we want you to join our start today walking challenge. i forgot i'm sorry. >> there you go. nice job, al

we're back, 8:52 now, with more of our heart health series, and we just showed you the importance of exercise, but there is, of course, another key factor, what you eat the cleveland clinic just released results from its annual national heart survey in response to what posed the greatest barrier to getting healthy, really caught our attention. check this out nearly half of americans surveyed said they viewed healthy food as more expensive so we wanted to try and debunk that assumption some of the we're going to do that this morning and to help us do that, vanessa rosetta, registered dietician.

good to have you back. >> thanks for having me. >> this is a misconception in lot of community force a long time, the idea that healthy has to be expensive but you maintain not so. >> this is why dieticians exist. >> yes >> so you know, there are a lot of tips and tricks to eat healthy. for example, people always think, you know, vegetables and fruit are super expensive, and you can only eat organic well, actually, you know, the dollar store has frozen fruits and vegetables for sale, for one dollar so if you want to have vegetables in your life, and you are afraid, or you don't have time, or you know, cost is a problem for you, you can go to the dollar store and you can get a bag of carrots, or a frozen bag of berries >> to be clear, there is the same nutritional value in frozen fruit and vegetables as raw? >> that's right. and minimal processing so they're allowed to ripen and peak and flash frozen. so it's up for grabs >> okay. oat meal bakes >> that's what i do. i make these oat meal bakes for my kids. and i bake it and they think i'm a genius they add peanut butter, and fat and protein and fiber and anti-oxidants.

i'm a winner >> pretty simple >> yeah. >> let's talk about veggies now. a simple trick for veggies >> find the ones you like. my son only likes carrots and you get them in bulk on a sunday, cut them out, put them in water in a glass container, for my kids, we put them in zip lock bags because they're grabbing and going >> buying in bulk is the secret. >> it is the secret. and you go through it pretty quick. >> and you mentioned buy nonstarch veggies. >> nonstarch veggies help keep you full and help your gut stay healthy, it is good for immunity and it is winter, and people are getting more sick, so more vegetables help you feel better. >> none starch. >> carrots, celery, arugula, spinach. >> one of the greatest misconceptions perhaps is seafood is expensive. >> it can be expensive if you're going to go to, you know, a fishmonger and you're going to buy $30 a pound halibut or salmon, but if you don't want to do that, and also people are a little bit weird about fish, as a leftover, so buying that in bulk, you can get them at the

regular grocer, or you can get them at, you know, a sam's or a costco and now you're just getting one piece at a time, and you can defrost before you leave the house, put it in the fridge, and when you get home, it will be ready, olive oil, deon mustard in the air fryer and you have one perfect piece and you're not wasting >> packed with omega 3s. >> cardiovascular health and brain health and reduce the risk of cancer. a lot of recipes call for butter and olive oil and how do we save there? >> so i buy in bulk. you can get two to three pounds. >> that is quite the large container of olive oil. >> yes, also, you can get online, just a container that will allow you to pour perfectly like portion that out so you could fill it up and hide that so you don't have to look at it. it is like 16 to 20 dollars depending on the weight that you. and remember, the serving size of olive oil is still one

tablespoon, so we know it ha anti-inflammatory properties but one tablespoon is sufficient. quickly saving money on snacking as well >> i'm a dietician so snacking is good, i'm thinking about the snacks that i'm having, and i love to go to any kind of pharmacy to get the deals, so the two for one, for the chick peas or the fiber, looking for fiber and protein. but also, i will always die on the sword of chocolate, which is my favorite thing, i can eat it every single day, it has fat, it has protein and if you get over 85% it also has fiber. >> vanessa, thank you. >> my pleasure. more coming up on the third and fourth hour, including the one and only terry crews joining us live live plus we'll have more on tom brady's surprise announcement as well, that he's retiring, again. good morning. this time around, it sounds like he really means it. tom brady is finally hanging up his cleats. he made the announcement on social media this morning saying he is retiring for good. brady won his final super bowl
