place, both in new york and washington, dc, given the potential for protests so will it happen? if it does, when and what does it all mean for the 2024 presidential race garrett haake is here to get us started. garrett, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the former president set off a firestorm over the weekend when he predicted his own arrest would come today so far that hasn't happened. and multiple sources familiar with the grand jury's work tell nbc news that certainly it won't happen today still a history-making indictment of a president is growing after the jury heard from a new witness monday. on the brink of a possible criminal indictment, former president donald trump remaining defiant, weighing in overnight on truth social. >> our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that we are the only ones who can stop them. >> reporter: in a new video lashing out at manhattan

district attorney alvin bragg now wrapping up his investigation of donald trump's effort to keep an extramarital affair secret by paying hush money to adult film actress stormy daniels >> i'm the only thing standing between the american dream and total anarchy, madness and chaos. >> reporter: grand jurors have heard testimony former fixer michael cohen, alleging mr. trump gave him $130,000 in 2016 to buy daniels' silence. the former president has denied any wrongdoing on monday, a new witness, robert costello was asked to testify at the request of mr. trump's legal team, blasting cohen's credibility. >> if they want to go after donald trump, and they have solid evidence, so be it but michael cohen is far from solid evidence >> reporter: cohen's response? >> the district attorney has the documentation in order to validate every single statement that i've made

>> reporter: in lower manhattan, law enforcement officials are bracing for possible charges against mr. trump, increasing security around the d.a.'s office florida governor ron desantis taking a dig at bragg. >> that's an example of pursuing a political agenda >> reporter: while also taking a veiled shot at the former president. >> i don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged fair. i can't speak to that. >> reporter: house republicans launching an investigation of bragg's investigation, though democrats say congress has no jurisdiction over a local d.a. >> president trump announced he was going to run for president again, and suddenly here they go now they're coming after him for some alleged bookkeeping error you've got to be kidding me. >> reporter: and the manhattan d.a.'s office is firing back at those house republicans releasing a statement saying in part, we will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the

justice process. michael cohen also mentioned that he wa brought back to rebut costello's testimony today who was ultimately released without having to do so. >> thank you let's bring in laura jarrett good morning all signs are pointing to the former president being indicted by this grand jury why do we believe that is likely to be the case >> of course this is not a done deal yet the grand jury can always decide they want to hear other evidence or witnesses or they should decide not to indict at all or reduce the charges to a misdemeanor if it goes forward however, it will be a sign they did believe in the defense case. you don't have to prove it by reasonable doubt but you do have to have probable cause to believe that a crime is committed. because the prosecution is the one that's in the driver's seat here the defense team is not in the room we heard from robert costello. you heard from garrett's piece

he said that michael cohen can't be trusted, the jury shouldn't believe his story. but trump's lawyers are not in the room for this questioning to try to go back and forth with him. >> let's talk about the charges here we don't know exactly how it will be charged. but fair to say this is a legally and politically controversial prosecution if this happens >> yeah. it is a tough case you hear about it being politically motivated. that's not a legal argument. the legal argument you can expect to see the president's lawyers make, if he's indicted there's no intent to defraud here that's what the statute actually requires under new york law. at least we think the falsification of business records in case, it actually requires that intent to defraud, and it is just not clear given that trump is, in fact, the trump organization where was the intent to defraud? he will say in all cases done to protect his family, not about the campaign so it is just not at all clear that this is a legal open and shut case that can be easily made and, of course, other people

will point to say perhaps of all of the things that he has been under scrutiny for, is this the best case in the best interest to be brought? >> laura, thank you very much. breaking overnight, russia's vladimir putin and chinese president xi sitting down for the second round of their talks. much of the focus the war in in ukraine amid concerns from the united states that china is going to help russia's invasion. janis mackey frayer is following that summit for us from beijing. good morning >> reporter: craig, good morning. this is a highly scrutinized visit by china's president xi jinping standing side by side with his russian counterpart vladimir putin today xi officially invited putin to come visit china again later this year. while the war in ukraine is a central issue, the two leaders

for china. according to an official chinese summary of the meeting putin even mentioning putin even mentioning xi's recent peace proposals as something he would treat with respect. that china's leader would make the trip is symbolic for putin coming just days after being cited for war crimes by the icc, u.s. officials calling this diplomatic cover. >> calling for a cease fire

would effectively be supporting the ratification of russian conquest >> reporter: the china-russian relationship is best described as pragmatic russia has depended on china to get around western sanctions this russian truck driver at china's border says no one else wants to be our friends. what china gains is a strategic partner and a counter weight against the u.s. and the west. >> russia actually is fighting indirectly with nato, which is giving all our support to ukraine., which >> reporter: for xi, backing russia may be less about putin winning the war than ensuring he doesn't losen ensuring he doesn't the concern with china's cease-fire proposal is it would leave russia's territorial gains in place, something ukraine says it won't accept.however, ukraint volodymyr zelenskyy says he is open to talks with xi jinping and there is a chance they could

have their first phone call since the war started before the end of the week, craig >> we'll see thank you. now to this morning's start of a massive strike by school employees in los angeles seeking a pay increase it forced the cancellation of classes in the nation's second largest school district and left hundre

last night, he hopes this strike quickly comes to an end. savannah >> thank you very much lots nor get this tuesday morning, including t sounding off on what it's calling an urgent public health threat a highly drug-resistance fungus that's spreading an alarming rate from four states in 2016 to more than half of the united states in 2022 while scientists do not believe the fungus is a threat to people who are otherwise healthy, it can be dangerous and deadly tot. dr. john torres is here. first of all, dr. john, where did this fungus come from? and how concerned should we be >> first and foremost, this is not ocalypse, but it nes to be looked into. like you mentioned it has increased since 2016 many, many fold and has spread throughout the country the world health organization says this is a global threat as well

the problem is it's resistance to anti-fungal drugs it is difficult to identify because it is inside the body and the symptoms mimic a lot of other symptoms, and it is causing these outbreaks in long care facilities. as far as how concerned we should be overall, this is one of those things that seems to be spreading because we think of global warming the fungus usually doesn't get in our bodies because it can't stand the warm temperatures. but they think fungi in general are adapting to warmer temperatures because of global warming, they'll be able to get in our bodies >> thank you for clarifying this isn't a plot line from the -- because i don't think i can handle a zombie apocalypse on top of everything as well. if you have a loved one in your family who's immunocompromised and in a long term health care facility. how do you protect them? >> stay healthy yourself because your immune system is the biggest battle against this.

in a long-term care facility part of the problem is some of the things they did for covid type of protocols work against the protocols they need for this type of infection. make sure the ramping up the health protocols they need now wash your own hands, especially if you can visit your loved one because it can be transmitted that way >> dr. torres, thank you very much from talk about fungus to our fun guy, mr. roker >> i see what you did there. very impressed >> trying to make you proud. >> very impressed. you worke a mushroom joke in, very nice. okay we are looking at severe weather as far as winter weather continuing we have 31 million people under wind alerts. 17 million under flood advisories and flood alerts, especially throughout much of california winter weather alerts for three million people from the plains into the pacific northwest here's that heavy rain moving into southern california here is what we're most worried about. this developing low is being fueled by this atmospheric river that brings ample moisture for

heavy rain and mountain snow some areas between los angeles and san diego could see upwards of ten inches of rain. rainfall rates up to an inch or hour or more flooding will be a big issue there. also have snow to talk about in the sierra they could see another one to four feet in the northern plains as that system moves east, we are going to look for the severe risk of severe weather on thursday from oklahoma city all the way down to senora, dallas right on the edge there. on friday it moves east, memphis, hattiesburg damaging winds, tornadoes and hail a possibility wewe're going g to get to o youl forerecast in ththe next 30 0 s.

it is 7:18 right now, we do have satellite and radar, we've got some rain moving through. the heaviest of the impacts you heard al talk about southern california, but we are starting to see rain pick up. mainly over the south bay. santa cruz, red pockets of rain through there, san jose, down through gilbert as well. rain rates are a little over a inch. that's where we're expecting to see the heaviest rain, gusty winds, wind advisories in effect through the south bay and santa cruz mountains. uddy. coming up, our exclusive interview with the virginia teacher who was shot by her six-year-old student

she shares her story for the first time, including what she felt in that terrifying moment >> my initial reaction was, your kids need to get out of here you know, this is not a safe classroom anymore. they need to leave you need to get them out of here, and then you need to go find help for yourself it was pretty shocking >> nearly three months later now how abbie says she's doing what gives her hope despite all she has endured. our conversation just ahead. but first, this is "today" on nbc. has

weather moves into the by area. "today in the bay" is live in the south bay this morning, one area that's already seeing its fair share of rain this year coming down right now, chris. >> it is starting to come down, and it's been steadily picking up through the morning. but we know the biggest issue in this system is going to be the wind. so we asked pg&e what they were doing to prepare. they say they are really focusing in on the south bay and the peninsula, which is super hard hit during the last windy storm, and bringing in extra equipment, staging it in critical areas, they are also bringing in more crews. folks in the santa cruz mountains are also preparing. they have been without power, so far this year. a number of times they're topping up propane tanks, making sure generators are working, and some of them are preparing to not have water because one of the water systems uses propane to operate the pumps that pump the water up hill.

vianey, we know that the rain is going to start picking up even more. >> indeed, in fact, we're already seeing some of the heavier pockets moving in right now through the santa cruz area. you can see them right here in the red colors, also in through gilroy, along san jose, expected to see those pockets continue like this. at least through the first half of our morning before becoming scattered. we are now actively under a high wind warning for the red areas, including santa cruz, extended through monterey. san jose, morgan hill, gusts reaching upwards of 60 plus miles per hour. >> that's concerning. high winds out there. i'll be back with a local news update in a half hour, and a midday news at 11:00 a.m.

we're back 7:30 tuesday morning that's a pretty shot central park on the first full day of spring. how lovely is that

just a few blocks away, let's swing those cameras. now, that's the shot right there. just some of the cuties on our plaza this morning cutis of all ages. all bundled up >> love the hat. we are going to start this half hour with a "today" exclusive reviewing some new details on a school shooting that stunned this country earlier this year >> it really did abigail zwerner was shot in her own classroom by her six-year-old student, a first grader i had the chance to sit down with abigail and her attorney yesterday as she shared her story for the first time, ow th went off and how she's trying opening up about the moment that gun went off and how she's trying to move forward one day at a time. what has it been like to have the world know your story, but you haven't gotten to tell it?

>> it's been overwhelming. >> one of the things that we talked about, why you wanted to tell your story, what it means to you to get to tell your own story. >> i think just because it's coming from me you know, i'm the person who has gone through this experience and has been through the trauma and it's my story. >> reporter: it's a story that left the world in disbelief. >> i have a report of a teacher shot >> reporter: 25-year-old abigail zwerner shot by her first grade student at richneck elementary school in newport news virginia on january 6th. let's talk first about just how you're doing how is your recovery going >> i have been doing okay. i have gone through a lot of obstacles and challenges some days are not so good days where i can't get up out of bed. some days are better than others where i'm able to get out of bed and make it to my appointments but, you know, for going through what i've gone through, i try to stay positive, you know, try to

have a positive outlook on what's happened and where my future is heading. >> you just had a surgery on your hand. what are the physical injuries >> the initial gunshot went through my left hand and ruptured the middle bone, as well as the index finger and the thumb. the gunshot then went into my chest up here where it still remains. so i have the scar up here and i still have some bullet fragments up here. >> so part of that bullet is still there? >> yes >> do you think it will always be there or do you think they will remove it some day? >> i think it will always be there. >> i asked you a lot about the wounds that we can see there are wounds that we can't see. >> yes >> how are you doing >> it's -- at first it really shook me up. they were open wounds that i could see and seeing an open wound on your body and remembering how you got it is pretty traumatizing in itself.

i think it's been helpful now that they have scarred over. but it's still a reminder that, hey, this happened to you. this is what your body has been through. >> so it was january 6th of this year >> uh-huh. >> what do you remember about that day >> i remember a lot. the morning it felt like just a regular school day, but i started hearing things and things started happening that made my fear grow. as the day went on, it grew more my fear grew more. i remember him pointing the gun at me. i remember the look on his face. i remember the gun going off i remember feeling something it was a pretty scary day. >> in that moment, what's going through your mind? >> i was terrified in that moment, my initial

reaction was your kids need to get out of here. you know, this is not a safe classroom anymore and that you need to go find help for yourself it was pretty shocking you know, once -- once the firearm went off and then i felt something, that shock itself that i had been shot >> you knew you had been shot? >> uh-huh, yeah. that was pretty shocking itself. but i just wanted to get my babies out of there. >> what did the kids do, say >> they were screaming i think they -- they knew as well that they had to get out of there, but they were extremely frightened and screaming >> the police chief said after that you had ensured that the kids got to a safe place he said your actions were heroic do you remember, what were the next things that you did >> that is still kind of a blur.

got them out, and i went to get help for myself. i knew -- well, i didn't know at the time that my lung had collapsed, but i started not being able to breathe. very raspy breaths in. my vision started going out. i remember i went to the office, and i just passed out. i thought i had died >> the ambulance came. you were rushed to the hospital. what did doctors say about the condition you were in and your injuries >> it could have been fatal.fat. we believe, like my hand being we believe, with my hands being up with it going through my hand first, we believe that by the bullet going through the hand first that it most likely saved my life. >> everything about this is so unthinkable. i wonder what you think or how you feel about this student. abt

>> you know, there's some things that i will never forget, and i just will never forget the look on his face that he gave me while he pointed the gun directly at me that's something that i will never forget it's changed me. it's changed my life >> how do you even make sense of something like this? >> you can't you can't. you know, i'm not sure when the shock will ever go away because shock will ever go away because of t of just how surreal it was and, you know, the vivid memories that i have of that day, you know, i think about it daily. sometimes i have nightmares. ab filed a notice of intent to sue school >> reporter: zwerner's attorney filed a notice of intent to sue school administrators, arguing that the richneck administration failed to take action after it was warned three separate times

that the boy had a gun with him the day that abigail zwerner was shot she plans to file a lawsuit in two weeks. >> there have been many failures, and there are multiple people responsible for those failures >> do you feel like you could have been better protected by the school >> yes >> you feel like they should have done more >> yes >> the prosecutor announced there would not be criminal charges against the six-year-old boy. do you have an opinion about that decision? >> i'm not going to weigh in to the prosecutor's decision, but i am following very closely the newport news prosecutor to see what they do in this case and who they do charge ultimately, if they do charge anybody. >> when you think about what's happened and what happened to you, what does justice mean to you in this case >> that's a tough question to answer >> yeah. diane, for you >> as abbie said, that is very tough to answer. my job is to hold those accountable that i can hold accountable, and i'm going to deal with that abbie has to deal with this your

entire life. both physically and emotionally. >> nbc news reached out to the school for comment and has not heard back in the moments after the shooting, zwerner's mother and sister rushed to be by her shot. what did you think when you heard she was shot by a student? >> i probably might have said some expletives in my head i might have even said them out loud what the what -- are you kidding me you can't wrap your head around that all of us being teachers in classrooms at rough schools, rough, you know, rough kids, you're never afraid like that. i never would have thought >> when you saw abbie? >> oh, my gosh she called me mommy. >> you don't call her mommy anymore? >> no. she called me mommy, and i knew like, oh, my gosh, this is real. i haven't heard mommy in a long, long time. >> yeah. >> and it kind of broke my

heart. >> yeah. >> hannah, you have been helping to take care of your twin sister what has this time been like tw sister. what has >> i'm just so grateful i was able to be there with her. we already live together it was nice, but we spend every moment together. just being able to be there. it's making her food it's cleaning up, opening toothpaste and things like that toothpaste a i'm really, really grateful to help her with that. >> reporter: but the support she's received has extended far beyond her family. >> it's hard to comprehend sometimes how many people out there really are just supportive and caring that in itself has been hard to comprehend there have been so many strangers reaching out we have tons of handmade cards, handwritten cards with people's stories.

>> what does that mean to you? because you have seen a very dark side of humanity. a very what does this mean to you, to see another side >> it helps me remember to take each day as they come, that each day is special >> what would you want people to know about you now you have people who have prayed for you and sent you cards, people who are admiring you and loving you what would you want them to know about abbie? >> that i'm just so thankful their messages, their cards, their support has not gone unnoticed, and it's been truly inspiring to keep pushing me to move forward in a positive way >> what do you tell yourself to get through? what gives you hope? >> i'm still here. you know, i believe i made it here for a reason. >> if you could talk to your students, what would you want to say to them? >> i would tell them i love each

>> i would tell them i love each and every one of i'm very grateful that they're all alive and they're safe and they're healthy, and i just miss them dearly. >> abbie wasn't able to get into details of what led up to the shooting that day or talk too much about the boy and his family because there is pending litigation an attorney for the boy's family tells nbc news, we welcome the prosecutor's decision not to charge the boy and continue to pray for abigail zwerner's complete recovery. complete recovery. they said the they previously said the 6-year-old has an acute disability and was receiving the treatment he needs now under court-ordered temporary detention at a medical facility. but it is a long road for abbie that she's still on. she just had another hand surgery last week. and of course there are the wounds she carries in her heart from such a traumatic incident >> considering all she's been through, her outlook is nothing short of remarkable. >> it truly is she has a great support system

her brother is in the military and asked to be reassigned to move back and be closer to home. her mom and sister there, all teachers, so she has that support. but this is a process that she's clearly still going through. >> does she question why i mean, do people want to know why? >> i think that is the question. i don't know i think, you know, it is hard to make any sense of something like this >> and he didn't go after any classmates or anything it was just her? >> as far as we know but this is a case about to be litigated. her lawyer will file a civil suit there is the potential of criminal charges the local prosecutor said he would not be charging the boy, but there is potential charges against others involved in the case, and that might reveal more of it. but frankly, it is unfathomable. there is no explaining what happened to a young teacher in the hands of a 6-year-old boy. >> when she talked about the look on his face if this story was isolated and didn't know the circumstances, you would never imagine that she was talking about a child.

latest. >> reporter: good morning. the former president set off a firestorm when he predicted he would be arrested today in this case. that hasn't happened yet. it is highly unlikely to happen today. still anticipation is growing around this grand jury, which could issue a historic indictment against the president after they heard from a new witness yesterday. the witness was brought in by donald trump's legal team. his entire mission, to cast doubt on michael cohen, president trump's former fixer, now a fierce critic. saying he paid hush money payments to the adult film star in 2015 and was later reimbursed by the former president. while the legal process continues to work through, we are seeing the security preparations both here in new york and washington, dc and political fall-out with former president trump's biggest rival. we will continue to watch all of

this to see what, if anything, if jury decides to do next. >> thank you very much. now to a death at a state hospital in virginia where at least ten deputies and staff members have been charged. some new video shows them piling up on the patient. we need to warn you this morning the surveillance footage may be difficult to watch. this is video from central state hospital on march 6th that shows sheriffs deputies bringing in a 28-year-old, holding him down on the ground. investigators say they were told he had been combatcombative. at one point it appears at least ten people were on top of him. his body went limp ten minutes later. seven sheriffs deputies and three staff members at that hospital have been charged with second-degree murder. president biden signed a bill yesterday that directs the federal government to declassify information about the origins of

covid-19. nbc's chief white house correspondent peter alexander joins us with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. so this new move by president biden will give americans a chance to see for themselves the intelligence the u.s. has gathered on how covid-19 started, the president signing that bipartisan bill into law on monday. it gives the nation's top intelligence director, the director of national intelligence 90 days to declassify most information detailing potential links between china's wuhan lab and the covid outbreak. the president here saying he wants to be as transparent as possible about the pandemic's origins. but he acknowledges the need to protect against the release of anything that could harm national security. the u.s. intelligence community, as we have heard, is split about covid's origins. you have the department of energy and fbi. they said it was likely a lab leak. other agencies have said it may have started naturally. and all of this matters because

if covid came from a chinese lab and we will further breakdown the strained relations between the u.s. and china. china has repeatedly blocked global efforts to try to figure out exactly where covid-19 began. >> all right, peter. thank you. let's go to college basketball now. a huge upset in the women's ncaa tournament. time and indiana all tied up at 68. six seconds on the clock. let's go. >> the number one seed with this possession. stepthrough. laura mcneill with the ball. >> oh, no! >> another number one goes down! miami pulls off the upset! >> oh, wow. miami, the number nine seed knocking off number one seed indiana. hurricanes reached the sweet 16 for the first time since 1995. >> wow! >> they will face villanova on

off label for weight loss. >> we don't have a good understanding of what they are in people who are not diabetic because that's what it was tested in. we understand those to a certain extent. we're not quite sure. you hear stories from people saying, yes, i had no side effects. i had tons of side effects. on top of that, kidney failure. you have to be careful and you won't know until you start using it. you don't know until you start taking it. >> as mentioned, this is being prescribed off label, which is -- it is not illegal, but it is off label, and that's created a shortage of the medicine. how is that being addressed? >> so off label means that it was fda approved for something, diabetes in this case, and in this case it is used for weight loss. doctors can do that. your manufacturers are trying to manufacture, especially the pins. but on top of that, there are other medications as well, other

types of hormone mimickers as well that are out there. you see the ads for them. >> and those are for weight loss. >> those are for weight loss. but on top of that, these are pharmacies that will basically make this from the base unit of that synthetic hormone and give you the hormone and give you something to mix it with. you have to be careful with those because those are not fda-approved products. they're not watched by the fda as well. it is a little bit of the wild west. >> it's like the delivery device that it's the shortage of, not the medicine. >> contactually. they're sending you the raw materials, so you have to mix it yourself. >> finally, some have reported a side effect or a feature is they're less interested in drinking alcohol. does that make sense? >> it does make sense to a certain extent because we talked early on in the first question about how it gets to the who roan receptor in the brain and reduces food cravings. some people are saying it

reduces food obsession. they stopped having a food obsession. other people are saying it helps me with my alcohol use. i'm not interested in alcohol because it might hit that part of the brain as well. there is a lot we're learning about this, and all of them for people that aren't diabetic. as time goes on, we'll learn more. it works for weight loss. you have to make lifestyle changes if you want that weight loss to continue. but it is one of those medicines that is out there. all right. al? >> we're starting up a little on the chilly side for our friends down south. we're talking 31 million people, frost and freeze advisories. you can see st. louis 48 degrees today for your high. that's 10 degrees cooler than average. today in new york city, 62 degrees. 12 degrees warmer than usual. as we move into tomorrow, philadelphia, low 60s. memphis low 70s. tulsa flirting with 80 degrees. as we head into the weekend, temperatures looking really nice.

crash in 2016. while at the posh deer valley ski report, 76-year-old sander son claims gwyneth paltrow knocked him out and causing a brain injury, four broken ribs and other serious injuries. >> i was going slow. and then all of a sudden, i heard this absolutely horrifying screech. it was a hysterical scream. >> he says after the accident, gwyneth paltrow left him stunned lying in the snow. the oscar winner has a different account. saying it was sanderson who plowed into her and it was she who sustained a blow. a judge ruled he could only seek $300,000. gwyneth paltrow calling it an attempt to exploit her celebrity and wealth. she's counter suing asking for $1 in legal fees. she is expected to take a stand in the courtroom while also

defending herself in the court of public opinion. she described her daily eating habits, coffee, celery juice, bone broth and vegetables. >> for me, it is important for me to support my detox. >> bone broth is not a suitable meal. and it is affecting young folks who think like eating gp is okay. >> gwyneth paltrow said this has helped her deal with long covid symptoms and is not meant to be advice for others. >> by the way, i eat full meals. >> that response not squashing the criticism. >> it is so frustrating when celebrities, especially those with a massive platform and a whole wellness line, promote anorexia and disordered eating as wellness. >> and those comments you heard from terry sanderson describing that ski crash came back in 2019

when the lawsuit was initially filed. now his legal team says they can't speak further because of the team. gwyneth paltrow's team declined to comment as well. it's scheduled to last eight days. it is unclear exactly when gwyneth paltrow will take the stand. >> we'll be on it. thanks so much for that. that's like our "today" show inside the "today" show. the hard hitting news team will be all over that story for you. ed sheeran is opening up in a docuseries, giving fans a glimpse into his life. from the time he was a boy all the way up to him becoming a father. >> you just have to work harder because there is always going to be someone that wants it more than you. >> i have cds on sale and they do pay for my food.

you have never set foot in england. now being charged with the leadership of a premier league football club despite clearly possessing little knowledge of the game. >> trent crim, "the independent". >> trent crim. >> "the independent". >> yesterday his fellow costars took a trip to the white house to support mental health awareness. ted himself fielded questions and a familiar face couldn't help but pass up the opportunity to ask jason sudeikis about hosting the world cup. >> how do you feel about kansas city being one of the named hosting cities for the 2026 world cup? >> oh. there i was hoping for a softball. okay. you know what?

i'm very excited. truth be told, yeah. i love this town. what i am genuinely worried about is once we get all these folks from all over the world to see our city, meet our people, you are going to have, you know, a lot of folks that will want to move away. >> safe to say trent let him off the hook with that one. making space, good news for hoda kotb's new podcast. you can find it by scanning the qr code at the bottom of the screen. she caught up with michelle obama while she was on tour presenting her new book. during that conversation, mrs. obama shared sweet words about the former president barack ob obama. >> i was looking for romance. i was looking for long walks on the beach. but what barack was showing me was his steady, his constant. he was showing me that his family mattered. he prioritized being there for his grandparents and for his

little sister and his mother. he showed up for his people, and that's what you want. and that's what barack has shown me his entire life, that he shows up for us, for me and our daughters, for his friends, for our families. >> pumping me up as a husband right there. sign up for the long walks, all that kind of stuff. show up. >> you can do that, too, yeah. >> long conversation streaming now. if you want to hear more of that video, tune into mrs. obama's podcast. good stuff. still ahead, we will get you ready for the final season of "succession." we cannot wait to catch up with sarah good morning. it is 8:26. the animals at the oakland zoo

weather. >> okay. i just like having everybody in our plaza. coming up next, we will go one-on-one with sarah snook. it is the final season of that wildly popular show.

there is that music. we're back. it's been more than a year. i know the days, but i won't bother you with the date countsment the wait is almost over now for, unfortunately, the final season of "succession". >> i feel like it's been 424 days, but who is counting. sarah snook plays roy. >> okay. so you are talking? >> no. they want to, you know, talk about talking. >> oh, they want to talk about

talking. >> what? come on. they haven't won the election, and they might not. and sad might not sell and you too might bail. it is a maybe maybe maybe situation. >> i remember it. >> i mean, it's all coming back. first of all, let's not bury the lead. sarah, you're pregnant. congratulations! when are you due? >> mid-may? >> and i heard you are keeping the gender a surprise? >> yes. >> that's hard to do. >> it is. but you just sort of block it out, you know? just don't think about it too much. >> do you talk in your sleep by any chance? my wife told me the gender of our oldest child while she was sleepwalking. >> she knew? >> third trimester one night. >> she let it loose. >> so your husband might want to sleep somewhere else. >> you don't know? >> no. obviously it was difficult

because she was talking in her sleep. >> talk about keeping secrets, the final season of "su "succession." you are surprised that the cast didn't even know this was the last season. >> it was intimated throughout the season when we were shooting. they were like it could be the last. and we found out during the read through that it would be the last. >> a lot of great shows are coming to an end so soon. >> why end it? >> it is a pretty bold decision to go out on a high. i don't know any other show that's done that. everyone loves the show. we love doing it. let's cut out. >> i guess it's the new thing. quit while you are ahead. >> yeah, preserve. >> did you ever imagine that this show would take off like it did? >> no, not at all. no. it's been an incredible ride. it's strange it's only 24 seasons. we have been doing it since 2016. only four seasons of that. >> you're australian.

i did not know that. >> are you? >> no. i was born in australia. we're sisters. but it's incredible how you pulled off the american accept so well that, i mean, honestly, i think most people watching don't even know. >> yeah. i mean, surprise, i'm australian. yeah. sometimes it takes a little bit to get into. i know matthew and i have certain days because he's british, surprise, that we slip and slide a little bit and there has been jokes about how we can't say the word new york in an american accent. it comes out like new york. but once you get out of the way of yourself. >> for fans of the show, for this final season, what can you tell us about it? do you think siblings are better united taking down pops or kind of every man and woman for themselves? >> i mean, that's the thing. it creates a great tension and a great drama because, like, we haven't seen the siblings united. so having a season where in the

beginning the premise is they're going to have to work together. that's going to set up some tricky situations. >> i read that the father in the show said that she thought logan's favorite kid was shiv. were you surprised by that? >> no. i'm the only one with a nickname. i sprinkled in his ear that i should be the favorite kid and am, so maybe i tricked him into saying it. i don't know. >> you have so much going on. you are going to have a baby. and you got married during the pandemic. you have to tell people this story. >> i love this story. you have your buddy. you guys were rooming together during the pandemic. >> yeah. i got stuck in australia and had nowhere to live. i ended up living with him. it was one of those things where you're sort of realizing we're having a lot of fun. we're having too much fun just like playing games. totally platonic like living together and there is chaos

going on in the world outside and it was like, this is really special because we're having so much fun. and no one should be cheering that we're having another six weeks of lockdown. yes! this is going to be great. >> sounds like a perfect movie. >> could be your next project. >> well, you're married. you're having a baby. this wonderful season. >> we have something for you. we come with gifts for you. >> oh, and al. >> you need that to be bigger. this is from us. you could open it. >> that's so sweet. >> i hope it's gender neutral whatever it is because we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. >> i mean, that's just what i'm wearing right now. >> awe! sarah, congrats on everything. the final season of "succession," say it ain't so premares on march 26th on hbo. >> such a great show. guys, the goat. the goat of alpine skiing is

with us. mikaela shiffrin is live with us. we will talk about these amazing shoes we have been wearing. we have a surprise for her as well. we will celebrate her historic record-breaking s s ea

>> seeing into all line immortality, mikaela shiffrin, the greatest world cup skier of all time. >> of all time. and that made 87 career world cup wins for her, shattering the 34-year-old record and cementing her in the records. happening where she won her first world cup title. she was 17. if that wasn't enough, she's grabbed her 88th title with another big win at the world cup

titles over the weekend. mikaela, congrats. how does it feel to hear it outloud? >> that's weird. i don't know if i think of it that way, but it's certainly flattering. yeah. it is mild that two days ago i raised that final gs. >> i want to read asking. they said, quote, the glciers will melt before anyone else reaches that benchmark. >> oh, that's tough. >> no. because you are so young and f you have so much skiing ahead of you. >> that's a good way to think about it. unfortunately the glaciers are melting. no, it's quite incredible to have a chance. i never thought i was going to be anywhere near that record. resetting it and actually doing it this season, i don't know,

sitting here with you now and the season is over, i feel like it was just yesterday we were starting it up in october. so it's a whirlwind. >> one of the things that i have always admired about you and i said this to you in beijing when i saw you there, you have overcome so much adversity. and i remember watching you on the hill in beijing, and you were distraught. and to now be the greatest in the history of the sport. does that make it extra sweet? >> i think just in general in life, your setbacks mike the try yums more sweet. loving where i am at actually with my skiing, i love the feeling of skiing. and all of that passion and everything and the work that i do and the whole team, everybody around me does, that does make it really satisfying. but you are not going to avoid the setbacks. and i feel like it's going to be

challenging again in the coming seasons. there is -- something is going to happen that's not going to go my way and i'll think back on this time thinking, why couldn't it always be wonderful like it was that season? life has ups and downs, i guess. >> the helmet that you wear when you race, it has two special sayings on the back. there is a picture of it for folks at home. tell us about those sayings. >> yeah. so the first one, one of my idols in ski racing wrote that on a poster for me, always be faster than the boys. she just wrote this to all of her -- basically all of her fans any time she signed a poster. and i ended up writing that on my skis when i was younger. and now it's on my helmet. and the other be nice, think first, have fun. that's something my mom and dad told me, just instilled this philosophy that you -- i don't know. i guess the values you want to have in life.

and that's one thing i carry with me from my dad, especially, but from both my parents. >> i have to ask you about the boy because i hear that he made an appearance. i think we have some video of his appearance after you wonnum -- won number 88. let's go to the tape. >> what's the next one? >> oh. what's the whistling? i don't know. you guys tell me. >> so uncomfortable. >> so that's the boyfriend, alexander, also a skier. how would you rate him as a journalist? >> you guys, when i talk about him, my voice gets all scratchy. it's uncomfortable. he's a great journalist. he did a good job. i hope he sticks with the career he currently has right now because he's been killing it. that was a fun, special moment,

final race of the season for the 88th victory. he was there doing that victory. that was special. >> thank you, by the way. you brought in a delightful gift for me. >> you are going to put it on? that's so sweet. >> since you brought me a gift, we have a gift for you. >> oh. >> we know you have quite the sweet tooth. a little birdie told us. >> i just had a bagel this morning. i've got doughnuts. >> mr. roker has been working on this all day. all these doughnuts are for you in honor of your achievement. >> should i start eating them now? >> work your way from the top. would you like one? >> if you -- >> it is like the jenga of doughnuts. >> you went straight from the bottom. you don't like the ones with -- >> by the way, what's next? >> are you just going to hold it or are you going to actually eat it? i just thought it would be nice to have us have a bite. >> that's good.

mikaela shiffrin eats doughnuts, too. >> sure does. >> thank you. we should mention the celebration of your accomplishment. we are proud to support on her turf nbc sports women's empowerment platform highlights athletes that changed the game forever. you really do like doughnuts. >> i really, really do. >> that's why we love mikaela shiffrin. >> i'm here with anthony who might put a little cheese on that doughnut there because that seems to be melted cheese, the secret to any authentic italian cuisine. we will get the low down on one of our faves in a second. of our faves in a second.
