>> all right, garrett haake leading us off at the white house. thank you. we want to focus more on wall street's reaction to the turmoil overtariffs and the impact of that massive selloff on your bottom line. nbc's business correspondent brian cheung is on the floor of the new york stock exchange this morning. brian, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. good morning, peter. earlier in the morning we heard from traders here on the floor they were optimistic there could be a bounce back after what was the worst trading day on wall street for 2025. again, the s&p 500 falling 2.7% yesterday and the nasdaq, that tech-heavy sector, losing 4% just yesterday. right now it does seem like there's been a little pick-up in the losses on wall street, but the dow jones currently down .8%. we also saw the s&p 500 down .4%. the nasdaq blinking up and down below the line where it closed yesterday, currently up about .1%. but nonetheless, all these wall street jitters has been an extension of a week of tariff uncertainty as we hear policymakers unsure about whether or not we will see any

sort of tariff announcement on any given day or any given hour. that has given wall street a lot of pause and even among some c suite offices there's some concern that the jitters on wall street could spill over into main street as well when you consider the likes of delta airlines, just warning yesterday after the closing bell, that they might be having to lower they guidance for how much they expect to make in the first quarter of this year. the company's ceo ed bastien citing a reduction in consumer and corporate confidence. and that was followed up just this morning by american airlines saying that they're also cutting guidance with some of these concerns out there. the airlines clearly saying that they are worried about the consumer pulling back in spending on things like travel. when you talk about an economy where 70% of activity is driven by the u.s. consumer, yes, there is that concern of the r-word recession. i want to point out, we are not currently seeing any signs of recession. we just got a jobs report on friday showing the unemployment rate was 4.1%.

near multi-decades lows and in line of the final few months of the biden administration. yes, even though there is the concern about a recession out there, we are currently not seeing dynamics of one. although there is a very critical inflation report that the government will be publishing tomorrow. that will tell us whether or not prices in america are going to rise further from here. send it back to you, savannah. >> brian, thank you. another major story breaking overnight, a pivotal meeting between top officials from the u.s. and ukraine aimed at mending fences and finding peace in the wake of that oval office meltdown. and finding a possible path to end russia's war. even though talks were getting under way, the fighting between rush shand ukraine, well, that only intensified. nbc's chief international correspondent keir simmons joins us from udi arabia where that meeting is being held. keir, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you. in that meeting between the u.s. and ukrainian delegations, it's happening in a neighboring room. secretary rubio giving a thumb's

viewers are wondering, they're using cameras that are public city cameras. these are public-facing cameras, so no hidden cameras here. one of the things we're learning about is the uses for spring break. they talked about how this could be applied for natural disasters. think about flooded roads where it is unsafe to go out there on the roads. the applications of using this drone, savannah, we have hurricane season just around the corner. >> all right. marissa, thank you. now to a major development in the menendebrothers' bid for freedom. long's top prosecutor now withdrawing his predecessor's resentencing recommendation just days before a crucial hearing. >> in a moment we will talk about that decision live with the brothers' attorney. mark geragos. but first, nbc's liz kreutz with the latest. liz, good morning. >> yeah, this is not the decision the menendez brothers or their family were hoping for. the los angeles d.a. came out strongly against resentencing.t

crimes. after the press conference, i spoke with the d.a. one-on-one who explaine why he believes the brothers have not accepted the breadth and severity of their crimes. after the press conference i spoke with the d.a. one on one what the brothers can do to change his mind. >> reporter: this morning a setback for the menendez's brother position. >> our position is they shouldn't get out of jail. >> reporter: nathan hochman withdrawing his predecessor's recommendation that erik and lyle should be resentenced and released. >> they do not meet the standards for resentencing. they pose an unreasonable risk of danger to the community and the resentencing should not therefore be granted. >> reporter: the brothers who are currently serving life without parole for the 1989 murders of their parents jose and kitty argue they acted in self defense after years of abuse at the hands of their father, something dramatized in the popular netflix series about the brothers that's ignited sympathy and renewed interest in the case. >> i wish i could take it back. >> reporter: now the d.a. attacking those claims in a stating rebuke and 87-page legal filing saying the brothers have changed their stories several times. including initially saying they acted out of self defense because they feared their

parents were going to kill them. >> do you believe sexual abuse is a factor in them killing their their parents. >> i believe they believe sexual abuse occurred. but even if sexual abuse occurred, as their own attorney acknowledged, sexual abuse does not justify killing the abuser. >> reporter: the d.a. adding he'll only reconsider his decision if the brothers apologize for what he says has been a litany of lies. >> if they go ahead and sincerely and unequivocally for the first time in 30 years lay out that they have now lied on their entire defense and finally admit that they killed their parents in cold blood, then that will be a new insight that the court should then consider. >> reporter: this morning, family members who support the brothers blasting the d.a., saying in a statement, he has blinders on to the facact that aerk and lyle were repeatedly abused, feared fur their lives and atoned for their actions. >> they have apologized. they have shown remorse.

they have taken full accountability to the public. he wants them to agree to that, his truth, not their truth, not the truth, but his truth in order for him to support their resentencing. >> now, both the d.a. and the brother's attorney are saying that ultimately it will be up to a judge to decide. hearing is scheduled for next week. it's still unclear if that's now going to happen. remember, resentencing is one path the brothers are taking to try to get out of prison. there's also clemency by the governor a process already under way. at governor newsom's request. they are assessing what risk the brothers would pose if they are indeed released. savannah? >> all right, thank you, liz. we're joined by one of erik and lyle menendez's attorney mark geragos. mark, good morning to you. have you spoken to lyle and erik since this happened? and what's their reaction? >> well, i think already prepared for them for it. again, this d.a. had made up his mind. mind you, there were 22 family members who signed on, who met

with the d.a.'s office, who told them stop re-traumatizing us. we could tell at that meeting that he had no interest in that. this really kind of points out one of the fallacies, if you will, of kind of the d.a.'s office here. they're not interested in the victims. they didn't let the victims know that they were going to make this decision. we figured they probably would when he hired one certain person in connection to head victim services. there isn't a single, living victim who endorses this. in fact, every single victim as anima maria just stated in the package leading up to this, want them out. this gentleman, this d.a., re-traumatizes the family repeatedly. he's almost serially abusing him with his lies and his litdny of lice. >> let me ask you this, mark, because in a sense this rather

straight forward, he lists 16 different lies that the brothers have yet to acknowledge. and says, if they would sincerely acknowledge these lies, he would reconsider. would you take him up on that? >> savannah -- yeah, savannah, let me tell you something. he obviously -- he's show boating. he knows for a fact both brothers were cross-examined for weeks in the first trial. >> if he's show boating, why not call their bluff? >> savannah, just hold on for a second. every single one of those things that he mentioned was either abandoned or was cross-examined on in the first trial. guess what happened? two juries, not one. one for erik, one for lyle. both juries voted against murder over the majority. and let me ask -- let me tell you one over thing, he keeps saying they were claiming self defense. they were not claiming self defense. they were claiming what was called imperfect self defense,

which meant that jurors who heard all the evidence, not somebody 30 years later recasting this case with a bunch of nonsense that was rejected, which was what the d.a. was doing, but jurors heard this and they rejected it. all this was was basically a rehash of the opening statement from 30 years ago by pam, jurors listened to that. jurors rejected it. he's just trotting out the same old things and he's re-traumatizing the family. >> the jurors did convict. he was saying they claimed -- >> the jury didn't convict. savannah, if you're going to make statements, understand what you're saying. the first jury did not convict. >> that was a hung jury. i know. >> hung. then the judge took away imperfect self defense. he basically directed a verdict the second time around. >> well, that's right but they did claim at trial they feared for their lives and that was the reason for the murder, did they not?

>> that was all the evidence was -- that was presented at the first trial was truncated and not presented at the second trial. >> let's just -- >> at least let's get the facts out there. let's not do what he did and just reinvent facts. >> well, let's set that aside for the moment because as you say, you don't want to litigate the past, you want to go forward. >> correct. >> do you believe that the clemency petition is now your best bet for freedom for these brothers? >> no, i don't. i actually think we've got a habeous still alive. he can withdraw, say he wants to withdraw, it is his decision. all that was was a grand standing by somebody who acknowledged what a couple of people asked him the question, wait a second -- by the way, there's a case that says you can't withdraw unless you show certain factors and you haven't talked about any of those factors. >> he mentions this case of

sirhan sirhan, the d.a. does. this is the person who was convicted of killing rfk jr. it's relevant because he was granted release by the parole board and governor gavin newsom, the very person who decide the brother's fate, looked at that kwas, reversed the parole board and said, no, he hasn't taken enough responsibility. do you see parallel there and does that tell you anything about what you need to do for governor newsom? >> savannah, that was a parole hearing. >> but the governor -- fair enough. but it's the governor's decision. >> listen to me. savannah, you can't go and say i'm going to pick up an issue of a parole hearing and what was said in the parole hearing after the parole board acted and say okay. now i want to take those statements and i want to apply them to a resentencing hearing which is a completely different legal proceeding. >> correct. but we're talking about clemency. we're talking about a clemency

petition, not a resentencing. something in the hands of governor newsom, who perhaps has shown that he wants to see this acknowledgment. i'm just asking you if that changes your strategy at all? >> if you want to talk about, which is what we started the press conference that had to do with resentencing, what i'm telling you is you took the bait, just like the d.a. did and started talking about a parole hearing when what the d.a. was up there presumably doing his dog and pony show was about a resentencing hearing. they're two different proceedings. >> i know. which i'm trying -- i'm trying -- >> one doesn't have anything to do. >> i understand. i'm trying to move the discussion to the avenue now before you which icommutation with the governor and whether you think the brothers need to do anything to increase their chances of release, which is in the unilateral decision of the governor. that is the question. it's not about those over hearings. this is separate. >> okay.

and once again, just so that we don't confuse people -- i understand why you're confused because you listen to the d.a. be confused and try to confuse the public. you accurately said there are three different proceedings. one is the habio-u-s. we're fighting that. one is the resentencing, scheduled for later this month. a third one is a potential clemency. sirhan sirhan was neither of the last two and arguably had something to do with the parole board. but that is not what we're talking about. it was not what the press conference was about. all that was was a distraction which worked well because now you're asking me about it. >> well, i don't have time -- this is fun and reminds me of the old court tv days with you, mark. if i had ten more minutes we would meet -- >> i was going to say the same thing. it's easier to be a legal commentator than it is to actually try a case and adhere to legal standards. >> true.

i think i made my point and you made yours. we'll leave it there until the next time, mark. thank you so much. >> you got it, savannah. >> we're talking about three different proceedings and i was asking him about the clemency proceeding and governor newsom who has the unilateral say over that. >> newsom can decide what he wants. >> he can decide what he wants and the question is has he shown some proclivity for wanting to see more acknowledgment from defendants before he releases someone. in whatever legal proceeding you're dealing with. oh my gosh, people got more than they bargained for today. >> we got a law degree for that one. still ahead the search expanding and intensifying for the university of pittsburgh student who vanished on a spring break trip to the dominican republic. we're live there next. but first, these messages. vere . it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems and doesn't replace a rescue inhaler. it's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. severe allergic reactions can occur.

♪ [ cheers and applause ] it is 8:30. it is a tuesday morning on our plaza. oh, my gosh. awesome crowd out here. everyone is feeling chipper. sun is shining. spring break is underway. our favorite time of the year out here on the plaza. and coming up in this half hour, we have an inspirie ing conversation with best-selling author who has some very big news for her many fans to share. >> looking forward to that. plus, chef lauren vitale is in our kitchen ready to take pizza night to the next level that will have your kids eating their veggies. i'm in. plus, she's coming back in

some mud slides. so certainly something worth watching out that way with as much as one to two, maybe even four inches of rain in some areas. we're also going to see this translate into mountain snow. heavy snow at that, perhaps three feet of snow in the sierra nevada mountain range. th and that was a nice setup from dylan. today wille your last day before that storm arrives for tomorrow. clouds and sunshine, mid 60s for the afternoon. and once we settle into tomorrow, we'll keep rain in the forecast for the next stretch over the coast and inland areas. expect windy conditions that will impact your wednesday commute with a chance for isolated thunderstorms and even hail. with local mountain snow heading into early thursday morning. that's your latest forecast. we were like half in, half out of that picture.

>> dylan thank you very much. just ahead, savannah is going one-on-one with millie bobby brown, filming the final season of "stranger things" and a whole lot more. but, first, this is "today" on nbc.

ever since "stranger things" became a megahit in 2016, millie with her mix of intensity, heart and raw emotion and that full latest project, a movie called "the electric state". and millie's character manages a robot uprising, not only to save her brother but to take down a nefarious organization. take a look. >> what are you asking us to do here? fight some more? fighting wasn't the dream.

peace was. >> we have a chance to tear their whole sick system down together. bots and humans fighting against the real enemy. >> millie, good morning. >> good morning. >> we have been talking about this movie for a long time. i'm so happy it's here. what does it feel like to be like, all right, it is out in the universe right now. >> i know. i know. it was such a long time ago in my head. but it's so nice for it to be out. and it takes so long to animate and, you know, post production takes longer than actually filming the wrong thing. it is nice to finally be out there. >> i got to see it. it has a little of everything, a thriller, and action and adventure, but it's also funny. and it has a lot of heart. i feel like you are bringing the heart to this. >> thank you. thank you. >> what was it like to be doing this with a lot of robots? you have done green screen before. >> i have done green screen.

with godzilla, a lot. i did a lot of tennis pictures. this motion capture i never done before. with this, we basically worked with humans that were dressed up in those motion capture suits. and, so, we were able to really draw real human connection and emotion with each other. and then after they came in and put in robots. but we had amazing actors that worked with us. >> you had chris pratt. you guys came on to tell us about the show a few months ago. tons of fun and chemistry. i felt like chris pratt's character was giving me han solo vibes. i know you get the star wars reference because your husband is really into star wars. yeah, totally. >> he's like this rebel. they're very similar. so it was really nice to be able to -- he came in and he knew that that's kind of what he wanted to channel.

i wanted to channel more like drew barrymore, so we had our inspiration to come in. to really build a authentic character. >> i see it. i see it. you guys nailed it. >> yeah, thank you. >> let's talk because you recently went out on press tour and you took to instagram and you said it like it is. you just called out some of these folks -- and there's always people that want to take someone down. and you just basically said like enough. what made you want to speak out like that? and how does it feel knowing now that you got so much support from that? >> i'm very -- i'm happy that people were able to resonate with the video. it is not just people in the industry, it is fofor young rls all around that world that feel like they're targeted or harassed for the way they look or the way they present themselves. yeah. i realize if i'm not going to say it and i'm never going to find a good time to say it, why wait? just do it now. so, yeah. >> it is a courageous thing to

do. but a lot of people came out. there were a lot of like, you go, girls. did you feel that and feel that support? >> yeah. i kind of shut my phone off after because i was overwhelmed. but i'm happy to see people connected with the video. and, yeah, it was a scary thing to d do. i didn't know how people were going to react, so it is nice to see that reaction. >> you are someone that young women or all women look up to. you recently addressed the united nations, giving a speech. i mean, that is both heavy and exciting and i'm sure a little intimidating. what was that message? what was that experience like? >> i have been a unicef goodwill ambassador for eight years. so it was really nice to come and speak at the u.n. yesterday to speak about protecting girls all over the world and calling out world leaders to protect women.

and it was a beautiful event. it's been so nice to see the u.n. filled with young girls. i looked out and i was like, wow, i hope this is our future. >> yeah. speaking of our future, we're almost at the end of "stranger things" which many people are trying to grapple with. i think you posted this on instagram. well, not that. but hi. hi, 11. just the last day in talking to your cast mates, and what was it like to say good-bye? >> so emotional, yeah. i kind of was like, oh, i'll be fine. i'll be fine. i'll be fine. i think it was a defense mechanism, i think it was my coping. and then i realized i was not fine. i cried a lot. and i walked in on the last day, and i was like, oh, my gosh. this is my last day. like this is the last coffee i'm going to drink, the last mark i'm going to stand on. and it all came head-on really fast. >> well what a journey. millie, it's always good to see you.

thank you so much for being here. you can see "the electric state" hits netflix on friday just in time for a friday night flick. ahead, glennan doyle. sharing her so-called guide book for being alive. how can we not want to know all those secrets? but, first, this is "today" on

recover your life. choose treatment for drug addiction and get back to what matters most. find a provider and proven treatment option that's right for you. recover you at choosechangeca.org. welcome back. get excited. her best-selling book "untamed" sold more than three million copies. now glennon doyle has a big announcement. her first book in five years is on the way. "we can do hard things." she coauthored it with her wife and her sister, amanda. it is a guide book for some of life's biggest questions, and it is coming out this may. this is me with the prop. it is very exciting. we have been waiting for this. "untamed" was a huge hit.. why did it take so long for you

to write another book, and what can we expect? >> well, the good news, it's been five years since "untamed" came out. i still have people coming up to me saying they did something brave after this book. it's still out there working even though i've been inside working on this book. >> it is working. do people say, i am a cheetah? >> all the time. >> you wrote this with your wife and sister. the three of you are like this incredible, i don't know, trifecta of super agents on the podcast just dolling out advice. but it came from a difficult time in all of your lives that coincided. >> all within the same year, my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, abbie lost her brother and i was diagnosed with anorexia. and a bx bie and amanda are me people. we were lost at the same time. we sent each over parts of conversations that we had had. i was sending my sister little

glimmers about finding joy in hard times and abby was sending me wisdom about finding body peace because of my recovery. and i was sending abbie glimmers about grief and getting through. and we started creating these files on our computers of all of our glimmers. one day a friend was going through something hard, and i sent it to her. she wrote me back and said, this is the most helpful thing anyone has ever sent me. can you make me a version of this about every part of life? >> is it going to be like that where i'm like, i'm dealing with grief and self-image. and you look it up and will have pearls of wisdom. >> when you go to a new country, you have a guide book. from people who traveled that road before, beautiful things not to miss, tips on what to see and what to miss. and we don't have that for life. >> it's so true. >> yeah. >> and you also -- some of i'm sure your own hard-earned wisdom, especially in the

podcast you talk to so many wise people -- you call them way finders. >> yeah. >> so you've kind of tapped into the wisdom of overs, some famous, some not. can you give me some example? >> our book is probably 60, 70% us, abby, amanda and i. there is so much beauty -- michelle obama, jane fonda, all these amazing way finders, we're calling them way finders because those are the people who help you find your way through all these difficult parts of life, love, grief, parenting, sex, all of it. so we just gathered it all together in this beautiful guide book that you can just go to any time you're feeling lost and you need some language for how you're feeling or just need a little glimmer to help you find your way. >> it's out in may. i assume you can preorder this right now. >> yes, yes. >> i'll keep my copy sincive it right here. you recently quit social media, which i have to heavy up. i only do instagram, i gave it

up for lent couple years ago and found it pretty amazing. what has been your experience? >> i think it is connected to my anorexia recovery. >> what, tell me? >> i think i slowed down enough to really start to feel in my body what social media was doing to me. which i think what it does to me in short sit just makes me a little less human and less able to see over people's humanity. right now more than ever we just need to stay completely fiercely connected to our compassion and humanity and our shared humanity and just remember that we are human and everyone else is and that we belong to each other. >> that's so true. it's really inspiring and also presence. if you're looking down there, you're somewhere else. i don't know where we are. but we're somewhere else. glennon, you're always so wise. we really look forward to this. may 6th, i hope you'll come back. look for abby, glennon and amanda, of course, on their podcast and they're going to launch a book tour as well. we'll tell you about it on our website. thank you so much. peter, over to you. >> glennon fed our souls.

do is utilize whatever bits and pieces you have in your fridge to make a stuffed pizza. >> the dough is obviously critical. >> absolutely. and the dough is easy. all you need is all-purpose flour. to the that you'll add a little bit of sugar. i like using instant yeast, if you don't mind. yeah, because you don't have to activate it in water, a pinch of salt. make sure your water is not cold. you also want to make sure it is not too hot. otherwise, it kills the yeast. add a little olive oil. that will knead until it's nice and smooth. once it's there, you place it in an oiled bowl and let that rise for a couple hours on your counter. easy. takes two minutes of work. >> you have to let it rise for a few hours. >> or you can do it overnight. >> but what you stuff it with is what makes this delicious. >> yes. today we will do a spinach and mushroom stuffing which is lovely in a sauce pan with olive oil. we're adding mushrooms and

onions with a pinch of salt. you'll sweat those together until they begin to take on some color and all of that excess liquid cooks out of the mushroom. >> take on color for lay people means when onions turn brown. >> yeah. make sure that filling isn't too soggy, otherwise your pizza crust will be soggy and start to look a little something like this. now to this i always have frozen spinach on hand. economical and always easy to grab and put an extra box in the freezer. thaw thohose out a really squeeze out any excess moisture. >> can we check with our teammates and see. are you happy with this? >> this is so delicious. >> it's bread and cheese. delicious. >> how can that not be delicious. mix all those together. that's your filling. but if you have leftover sausage, chicken, meat balls, slice them up, dice them up, add them in and utilizing whatever you have on hand. now for the actual pizza itself, we'll use a 9 inch pan that everyone has. you don't need any special equipment. and if you would put that

filling right no. >> this one? >> yes. >> thank you. >> make sure your pizza dough is divided into two piece. two thirds for the bottom. >> is this all going in? >> yeah, go in. >> it was cooked. >> the bottom of the pizza crust is not but the filling is cooked. >> i guess i spaced out for a second. >> you were drinking his wine. >> i'm earning my breakfast this morning. >> he was hard at work. >> now we'll dollop with pizza sauce. i'm always in the target. so easy to grab a few pieces to stock your pantry. >> i'm glad you don't mind having a canned sauce. >> not at all. good organic, i like grabbing a couple extra things when i'm out and about. stuff it in the pantry. >> you're much more inclined to do. make your own tomato sauce, i'll pass. >> a little dollop of ricotta and mozzarella and put aed will.

>> is this a heavy dollop or whole thing? >> that was a strong dollop. >> you pinch the sides. you kind of want to make sure it's all nice and sealed. pretend we're doing a perfect job. and then you want to make a little slit on the top so that it vents. >> this would be fun with kids too actually. they can feel proud about what they made. >> i was just thinking kids would love this. >> a little olive oil on the top. you'll bake that for about 35 minutes or so or until it's a beautiful golden brownwn color. when it comes out, sprinkle garlic on it, little pardon me and it is beautiful. >> this is the parm. >> you missed the cheese. >> there you go. there you go. >> more of everything. >> cheese all over the top which gives you a beautiful crust as well. >> nice golden crust. >> sorry. let's trade for a second. i want to taste this as well. we're happy with this? >> i love that you can literally put anything inside that you want to. >> that's the beauty of a stuffed pizza. whatever you have going on, you can add it in there.
