mache likeness of donald trump and torching it. in boston, residents say they're frustrated but determined to work for causes this believe in. >> you can come out here and support and be the cause and be the fight and you know, don't take this as a defeat. take this as motivation to work harder. >> reporter: and back in los angeles overnight, hundreds of people shut down a major highway through downtown l.a. many struggling to come to grips president-elect. >> from new york city to oakland there, were arrests made overnight in addition to those reports of vandalism, police say molotov cocktails were thrown at them. for the most part, they were peaceful. president-elect trump and his wife will head to the white house to meet with president obama and the first lady. peter alexander is in position. good morning.

kicks off the transition from the obama administration to the trump era. the president ordered that both president-elect trump, excuse me, and vice president elect pence receive intelligence briefings but simply put, you can't overstate the awkwardness of the visit. the first face to face meeting between two of the country's most bitter political rivals. a meeting of bitter rivals. president obama inviting donald trump to join him today oval office. >> it is no secret that the president-elect and i have some pretty significant differences. >> reporter: the president speaking to a divided nation reminding them of how his predecessor, george w. bush worked with him following 2008's election. >> president bush's team could not have been more professional or gracious in making sure we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running.

quickly is that the presidency and vice presidentsy is bigger than any of us. today's meeting, a new chapter in a feud that dates back to the first term when trump champions the birther conspiracy theory. >> donald trump -- >> reporter: the president roasting trump soon after when the claims were knocked down. >> that is because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. like did we fake the landing? >> reporter: in the final days before the election, the president worked feverishly to keep trump out of the white house. >> if somebody starts tweeting at 3 in the morning because "snl" made fun of you, you can't handle the nuclear codes. >> reporter: the president's cone shifting from humor to harmony. >> we all want what is best for this country.

>> reporter: >> it is time for us to come together as one united people. >> that is what i heard when i spoke to him directly and i was heartened by that. that is what the country needs. a sense of unity, a sense of inclusion. >> a theme echoed by house speaker paul ryan who has had his own problems with >> donald trump heard a voice out in country that no one else heard. he turned politics on its head and now donald trump will lead a unified republican government. >> reporter: as washington welcomes the next president today, president-elect trump will also meet with house speaker paul ryan. trump's transition team launched its new website, a new logo to go with it. it is greatagain point gov.

michelle obama will greet melania trump for their first meeting as the white house officially begins to change hands. matt and savannah. >> peter alexander is ready for that as well. governor chris christie is chairman of donald trump's transition team. it is nice to see you. >> good morning, guys. >> let's talk about the meeting. they have a long and bitter history together. what is the dynamic going to be like. >> i think it is going to be grea president-elect on tuesday night that he wants to bring the country together, recognizes that there has been great divisions and wants to be a unified force and i thought the president's comments were great and appropriate. we heard about a peaceful transition of power. you'll see that symbolized. >> how about this as an olive branch, donald trump has been

might donald trump apologize to the president. >> i don't think, i think that is past us, matt. the fact is, the president said a lot of things about donald trump at that time that clearly was attempting to delegitimize him. that is politics. what these two men recognize is that now this is about governing and leading the nation and the world. they have more important things to talk about. >> it was all about politics when donald trump was makinhe >> sure, everything is in the context of politics, matt. it doesn't mean he didn't believe those things or wasn't concerned about them, but you see the difference between when two people are in combat in politics versus when the people have spoken. and tuesday night, the people spoke, elected donald trump president of the united states and so now it is time for both donald and the president to move to a new chapter. >> chairman reince priebus was

knows, behind closed doors is so vastly different than the donald trump we have seen from that rally stage. do you agree with that? and do you think that is a -- we're about to see some new side of donald trump? >> first off, i've been friends with him for 14 years and so i would say there are a lot of things about him that the public has not yet seen but i don't think that is unusual for people in public life. you hear all the time whether it was about al gore, the v i've been able to have time with him privately, too. people have different sides whachl will happen during a presidency, i believe, is you'll get much more of an opportunity to see both sides. >> we saw the protests last night. it is just a reminder that half of this country, you know, feel very scared and afraid and upset. what do you think president-elect trump's tone toward them should be? what is his message? what is out reach he should do. >> he started the out reach on tuesday night.

it was a unifying speech and he recognized those folks on tuesday night, talked about the people that didn't support him. he said i'm committed to being president for all americans. that is what he had to do and that is what he did do on tuesday. >> paul ryan says donald trump doesn't have a mandate. he obviously has the white house, the house and the senate. do republicans have a mandate. >> sure. absolutely. when you control both houses of congress and the white house, you not only have a have a huge responsibility, now the republican party is in charge of the federal government and we have an obligation to get things done. >> let me ask you about your personal future in or outside of government. a couple of your close associations convicted on all counts. do you think that event and trial will cast a long shadow on you if you would like a role in the trump administration? >> no. i think the long shadow was cast long before that. what happened last week with the verdict was that they confirmed

of 2014 which was back then i said after 24 hours it is my view that three people are responsible for what happened there. those three people, after three years of investigation, matt, and the trial, the same three people i fired in january of '14 were the three people held responsible by the u.s. attorney's office and that jury. >> what role do you want in a trump administration? >> i really don't -- >> what have you talked about? >> we have not talked about anything. it is true, the president-elect was absolutely adama discussing the transition before he was elected. >> the reports are he didn't want to jinx it. >> that was part of it. the other part was, he wanted to remain focused on what he needed to do which was winning. he said to me back in may. you focus on getting this ready for me and we'll talk on election night. so we spoke on election night but not about me. we spoke about the transition. >> would you like to be chief of staff?

>> you don't really think i'm answering these question. you know me better than that. i'm not committed to doing anything in a new administration or not. the bottom line is that i have a job to do to help get the administration ready. if there is some role for me that i want to do and that the president-elect wants me to do, we've known each other for 14 years, we'll talk about it. maybe it is host of "the today show," matt. who knows. >> what is yourim >> you've been around here a long time. we'll go over the contract today and see when you're out of here. >> that is a job that the president doesn't appoint. >> maybe we can work something out. i'm a nice guy, savannah. >> we'll do a screening interview later. let me ask you a quick thing. >> good news for me. >> trump's adult children have been a huge part of his campaign. can you see him appointing one of his adult children to a senior position or does he think

there. >> i haven't spoken to the president-elect there. my sense is that donald's children who are huge parts of running the business intend to run the business. they will always have an influence with their dad. he will always turn to them for advice and council as all of deuce when our children get older, but i think their intent from what i've heard from them is that they're focused on running the business. the guy who did run the business has a new job. >> donald trump praised hillary clinton in his speech but in the previous weeks he said he was going to lock her u a special prosecutor, has he dropped that? >> i haven't spoken to them. they had an enormously gracious conscious on tuesday night. secretary was gracious to the president-elect and the president-elect has been incredibly gracious to her. politics are over, people have spoken. >> people wanted her to be locked up. those are his constituents. >> the people get to speak through the vote. they voted for donald trump to

he will, bring the country together. >> do you have an alarm clock? >> you'll love halloween here. >> i can look stranger? that will be good. i look forward to it. let's go to the other side of the aisle now. what does the transition to a trump white house mean for the democrats who find tel nbc's kristin welker has that part of the story. good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. despite the bitter battle between clinton and trump, democrats and lawmakers, more broadly agree that they should work together to help the country come together but that won't be easy given the history of partisan ranker here in washington. this morning, democrats coming to terms with their new reality.

the white house and holding both houses of congress. >> this is the most incredible political feat i've seen in my life time. >> we've been given a temporary lease on power if you will and i think we need to use it responsible. >> reporter: democrats defeated but looking for ways to find common ground. house minority leader nancy pelosi placed a call to trump saying i bernie sanders turned top surrogate. >> our job is to elect hillary clinton. >> now softening his tone and vowing it to work with trump on policies that help the lives of working families. but sanders also warning to the degree that he pursued racist, sexist, xenophobic policies, we will oppose them.

ahead over obama care. >> real change comes with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obama care. >> and the supreme court, trump vowing a more conservative pick than merrick garland. >> the supreme court is what it is all about. >> reporter: the democrats are focused on their own future and party stand outs who may help lead the way. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren who proved to be one of the mos dogs. >> he thinks that because he has a mouth full of tictacs that he can force himself on any woman within groping distance. >> reporter: and new jersey senator corey booker who's name was floated as a possible vp pick and rising star in the party. >> patriotism is love of country but you can't love your country without loving your country men and your country women.

unity may be short lived. congressional republicans already vowing to continue their investigations into secretary clinton's private e-mail server. matt, savannah. >> kristin welker. thank you very much. mr. roker is here with a first check of the weather. >> we have chilly stuff to start off with. we have frost and freeze warnings right now stretching from the carolinas all the way into oklahoma and they're going to start to warm up later today but in the meantime, temperatures are freezing from asheville to fayetteville. jet stream to the north so we'll be staying warm. eugene oregon, temperatures in the 60s. st. louis into the 50s as well as we get into next week, those warm temperatures stretch from chicago, san antonio, tuscon and salt lake city. we'll get to your forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.

7:30 now on a thursday morning. november 10th, 2016. and there is a look at the white house after attacking each other throughout the campaign, president obama and president-elect donald trump are it is a face to face in the oval office to begin a transition of power most people did not expect to see. >> we'll have more on that of course in a moment. let's look at the other headlines, thousands of people taking to the streets in major cities to protest donald trump's election. one of the largest democrat strakss happened here in new york where the protesters mayed right to trump tower, a similar gathering held outside the trump international hotel in chicago. >> a manhunt is under way for a

officers near pittsburgh killing one of them. it happened in the town of canonsburg. investigators have not yet revealed the circumstances surrounding the shootings. seven were killed, more than 50 injured when a tram over turned on wednesday in south london. a 42-year-old driver has been arrested now on suspicious of manslaughter. the tram appears to have been traveling too fast on a sharp bend and they're looking into claims that the driver blacked out at the controls. donald trump's up coming transition to power but his opponent in the presidential race is now facing a major transition of her own. what does the future hold for hillary clinton and the clinton family? andrea mitchell has more on that. hi andrea, good morning. >> reporter: after decades of public service, hillary clinton's dream to become the first woman president shattered. her political career, most likely now over.

give. >> we must accept this result and then look to the future. donald trump is going to be our president. i know how disappointed you feel because i feel it, too. and so do tens of millions of americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. >> reporter: painfully close to making history but falling short, clinton urging americans, especially young girls not to lo not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling but someday someone will and hopefully sooner than we might think right now. the clinton family first took the national stage in 1992 when then arkansas governor bill clinton won president.

first as senator from new york and then losing the democratic nomination to barack obama in 2008 agreeing to serve as his secretary of state. >> the urgency of the global climate crisis must not be underestimated. >> reporter: with her white house dreams now dashed, what is next for the clintons? friends say they need time to heal from the shock of losing to donald trump but when they are ready, if they want, they'll have their pick of offers from paid speeches to book possibly academic affiliations. as a private citizen, hillary clinton won't have to worry about the conflict of interest questions that plagued her during the campaign. they also don't have to scale back the clinton foundation, a big target for critics when she was in politics. >> this is, indeed, the end of the clinton era. a generational end. she thought she would be president-elect today. so there wasn't something in the

not going away at any time soon are hillary clinton's investigations, already the house over sight chairman announced he is going to keep looking into her use of a private server when she was secretary of state. so that beat goes on. matt and savannah. >> already. thank you very much. we will take a turn now. we have another look at our weather. you're looking at texas. >> we have wet weather for our friends down in the southern tip of texas from brownsville, texas. a quarter of an inch or so. we're watching a powerful storm make its way into the pacific northwest bringing heavy rain, one to two inches of rain over the next several days. we have near record temperatures stretching from the plains mild from the southwest and the central plains. gusty winds ahead of the cold front. here in the east coast, we're looking at lots of sunshine from new england into the gulf.hhoug may have a few more clouds tomorrow, but the won't last long and will

today over the region, but cool down after that front tracks through tomorrow.... really getting us back to more normal levels for a couple of days. today, though will be well above normal with highs in the low to mid 60s with southwest winds gusting to 25 mph. clear tonight with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s, but the winds turn to the north.. they won't be as strong as today, but may still be a bit gusty with highs for veterans >> don't forget, watch your weather at any time you need cable. >> thank you. coming up next, as president-elect donald trump heads to the white house, we'll give you a look at what you can expect in his first 100 days in office. first, these messages. chocolate. levian chocolate diamonds. only levian, masters of jewelry design for centuries... ...makes jewelry with rare chocolate diamonds. save up to 20% on select levian styles, with dazzling designs

it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto? is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, our risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions,

(more popping) go together like being late and being grounded. made for real, real life.? 7:39, with more on "today's" all-important meeting at the white house and the transition from president obama to president-elect trump. >> so what can we expect in mr. trump's first 100 days in

hi, hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hey there, good morning, savannah and matt. donald trump has made a lot of campaign promises over these last 16, 18 months. some of them will have a shot when he takes office in january. we wanted to check out his scorecard for success. >> reporter: he ran on a campaign promise to shake up washington. >> we together are going to drain the swamp. >> reporter: but n are president-elect trump's goals? one of his first priorities -- tearing down obamacare. >> real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare. >> reporter: trump will lead an all-out assault on the affordable care act. president obama's signature law providing health care to millions. but can he do it?

first, congressmen need to take action. while republicans could have trouble getting the 60 votes to get it to the president's desk, a vote to repeal did make it to president obama earlier this year under a special budget procedure that required only a simple majority. he, of course, vetoed the repeal. if it makes it to a president trump, the result would likely be a different story. also on his agenda -- reshaping the supreme court. >> the supreme court, it's what it is all about. >> reporter: file this under "highly with republicans controlling congress, trump's all but assured a more conservative supreme court pick. >> the american people have spoken and president trump will send us a nominee, i assume, early next year. >> reporter: trump's released his list of picks to fill the seat left vacant after the death of justice antonin scalia. among the notable names -- senator mike lee of utah who did not vote for the party's nominee. and what about some of candidate trump's more extreme plans?

along the southern border. >> reporter: his mexican-funded border wall? "unlikely." part of the problem -- the cost. estimates range from $8 billion to $122 billion. and while he says mexico would pay, that country's foreign minister saying yesterday, that's not happening. also unlikely, another campaign pledge. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: his temporary proposed muslim ban, unpopular, even among many republicans. candidate trump already signaling he won't take such a hardline stance. >> reporter: expect for the president-elect trade to be another issue in those first 100 days. he doesn't always see eye to eye with the rest of his party on that. that's a topic that may or may not come up with president-elect trump and vice president-elect mike pence visit house speaker paul ryan after their trip to

house this morning, thank you. let's bring in nicolle wallace and steve kornacki who at this point need no introduction. nicolle, you've been there. what are these meetings about? the white house is this scene, this is the peaceful transfer of power. there is tons of symbolism. but it is also very personal. >> it is very personal. and there is a lot of talk about when you turn the page, a hard-fought campaign is over. as governor christie has talked about, the night before donald trump's election, preside powerful spokesmen in making the case against trump's candidacy. so everyone is committed to turning the page because the business of governing is so much more grave than the business of campaigning. but these are human beings. they're not robots. >> what nicolle is saying, is you can't unring a bell. some of the things that have been said during the course of this campaign are going to stick around. >> it's interesting, what's happened since the election was

encouraging to everybody because we thought such an unprecedented campaign may be the aftermath would be unprecedented. so far it is going the way it is supposed to go. i think things are going to get interesting when you look at how democrats react. obviously democrats do not like donald trump. at the same time, this is a guy who's taken some positions on issues where he actually could find some democratic help on capitol hill. >> that's interesting. it is a good segue to my question for nicolle. one of the big story lines was how is he remaking the republican party, tone, but also the orthodoxy of the republican party and the policy. so how do you think that all plays out in terms of what he tries to do in 100 days? for example, trade agreements. >> he owes the republican party nothing. he won without the republican establishment behind him. and, frankly, with sort of the republican folks that make their way on to tv shows -- >> but guess who's waiting for him in washington? the republican establishment. >> he really has an opportunity

partners. if trade is a place where he finds more enthusiastic support among democrats, he has an opportunity to work with democrats. he put out a list of supreme court justices. there will be issues whether there are natural alliances with the conservative movement in and out of the government. but he is in such a unique position in that he owes this victory to no one other than his small sort of pirate ship of a campaign and his base of support around the country. >> if these pro build, should donald trump say nothing and let the emotion play itself out or should he speak again to the american people? >> i think at some point it is not directly addressing the protests that's his responsibility. but i think the message that he delivered after this election tonally is the message you want the winner in the election to deliver. he was gracious about his opponent. he talked about uniting the country. as long as he continues to deliver a message like that, i think that's what we expect of a president-elect in this period. >> i went to buy something yesterday and i took my money

look what i found? i found a little piece of paper with the predictions from election eve of when this was going to be called. >> you know what's going about him? he never says "i told you so." >> chuck is not here to defend himself. steve predicted 11:20 at night. >> that was pacific time. >> i forget what i said. >> 1:00 a.m. >> i was closer. >> but if i had asked you, and who is going to win? >> clearly, trump. >> i this outcome. but it is -- you know, i think there is a lot of hand-wringing. i dropped my son off at school yesterday morning. a lot of moms came up to me figuring out how to talk to their kids. i think it is just important to remember that we've sort of been through extraordinary events before. i am a recount survivor. i am a mccain-palin survivor. did i win? did i win the "today" show pool?

host of the shows we love watching had a mix of sincerity and their own special brand of humor. >> if your child asks the ultimate question -- why do bad things happen to good people -- you finally have the answer. the electoral college. >> of course, this means that early next year trump will be moving into the whi tehouse. he will become the first president who moves in and hangs up his own portrait. >> two things happened last night. donald trump got elected president, and my job just got >> based on this pattern of me being wrong on everyone of my donald trump predictions, he's probably going to be a great [ bleep ] president. >> so there was another moment in particular that caught our attention when seth meyers got emotional addressing the person who's out there who could still be our nation's first female president. >> the fact is, we don't know who you are but i imagine this moment today will be a defining

farther. and whoever you are, i hope i live to see your inauguration and i hope my mom does, too. she was really excited yesterday. and i was really sad for her. >> one of the viewers respond odd, like so many people, saying i had my daughter watch this. very poignant and touching. seth has been receiving high praise, as you guys know, for his shows during this election. he's going to keep it going. he is one of the best people felt when he got emotional there. >> tamron, thank you so much. coming up, tom brokaw on the mood of the nation post election and we'll also tell you about

>> what was the day like today? >> if i had to sum it up well it would be going through the five stages of grief. >> the big take away from this election for me is also how divided our country is. >> although our country is in a divided state at the moment we can still find ways to look past this and to still encourage each other. >> reporter: for the students it's a lesson in politics witnessing a combative campaign buthe tn at the end gracious speeches from both sides. >> i think the message has are important, your voice matters. and one day you will get to run for president of the united states. >> reporter: to lift their spirits the girls created a video which they'll send to hillary clinton. >> we are stronger together! stronger than ever! thank you, secretary clinton. >> reporter: it's hard to know how most americans will choose to move forward. in new york hundreds of post-its line a subway wall offering

something positive. >> in general, i am hopeful for president trump because hope is always the best possible path to take. >> reporter: a country torn apart, hoping there's enough thread to eventually sew things back together. for today, joe fryer, nbc news, los angeles. >> dr. jennifer hartseen is an adolescent and child psychologist. it's one thing a lot of parents have said, not just after election day and the result but all through this campaign is how do i talk to my kids about ? events loom so large when they're focused in on them. do you have any tips on how to talk about it, whether you're happy with the result or not? >> right, i think that's the thing. you can be happy, you can be sad, our kids are absorbing all of this. the first thing is keeping it simple. your younger children do not need to know the same information as your older children and keep it on point and direct. you want to really -- don't put your information on them. let them form their own opinions

and then they're just repeating it but they don't always understand it. validate their feelings. really let them know that you understand. and then everybody needs to start to work towards a place of acceptance and kind of awareness and then decide what they want to do about it. be it a good thing or bad thing for you. kind of move towards the acceptance. >> i think one of the hard things as parents and i've got three children, so we spend a lot of time in my house talking about compromise. and when they hear what's going on in this election or just did, there doesn't seem to be a lot of area of it seems to be one end or the other. split down the middle. >> right. you know, sometimes -- and i think obama said it great with all of his sports references in his speech yesterday, there's a winner and a loser and that's not compromise. and this is one of those moment where there is a winner and unfortunately there's a loser and everybody can choose which side they're on. we have to accept that that's what is and work in that spectrum. >> a lot of focus are on those who are disappointed. also there's a lesson if you

president-elect trump because it also shows how to be gracious in victory. >> absolutely. this is a really wonderful lesson in sportsman like conduct. how do we say this is great and i'm so excited but respect that someone else loss and honor that for them. >> you have to remember, kids are sponges. if you don't think they heard everything, they heard everything. >> they did. they did. we've got to respect that and hear what they have to say. >> what about specific fears? you know, there are some kids who might have been hearing, for example, about immigration or deportation or they terrorism, they hear about racism. you know, there's just all kinds of accusations that have flown back and forth. and if you've got older kids, how do you address these issues? >> sure. i've seen it in my practice. yesterday there were a lot of teens afraid of what's going to happen to me and my friends. i think it's really being able to sit with them, talk about it, remind them that you're going to work really hard to protect them, remind them the government is not just one person. and that kind of the aim is to really make america unified and

all hope for. >> keep it in perspective. good lessons for everybody, all ages. thank you. let's go over to al and get a check of the weather. >> how about the weekend? take a deep breath and reset and just kind of enjoy. here's your weather for it. cooler weather through the great lakes. sunshine through the gulf coast. unseasonably mild through the plains. from northern california into the pacific northwest. look for wet weather. looking ahead towards saturday. got a cooldown in the northeast new england. great lakes looking gorgeous. sunshine. even down to the gulf, beautiful weather in the southwest into southern california. sunday, sunday, a big football day. we've got lots of sunshine in the northeast. some showers along the mid atlantic coast. heavy rain moves into the pacific northwest and the sunny skies continue again down through the southwest and into southern california. stormtrack7 live weather network cameras will continue to stay dry for the next few days. we won't see much changing, although we may have a few more

a lot of moisture with it. it is mild this morning... we are already warmer than this point yesterday and continuing to climb a bit... mainly in the upper 30s to low 40s in the viewing area with more mid 40s to the west. southwest winds are starting to pick up and a >> and that is your latest weather. all right, mr. roker. thank you very much. fresh off covering another historic election, tom brokaw is here to add his unique perspective. we should mention, he's also 50 years here at nbc. and tom plans to donate all his papers and memorabilia to the library at the university of iowa. that is a cool thing, tom. good morning. nice to see you. >> especially given the fact that i spent one year there and i had a double major. beer and coeds. [ laughter ]. >> but we digress. >> but they didn't let go of me and it was their idea and i am terribly flattered. >> i'll get to that in a second

what's happening at the white house today. we've just been through a lot as a nation with this election. yet i think, shouldn't we all take comfort in what's going to happen at the white house today? >> it is part of the majesty of the american system is that a loser, and in fact barack obama is a loser because his candidate didn't win. he's going out of office but he is welcoming in a gracious way the unexpected winner, donald trump, who has an agenda completely different than this and they will work out a way they can have a transit be very efficient for the country. >> you were watching, i know, the speech that hillary clinton gave yesterday. in addition to watching her and listening to what she was saying, i was looking at that room and it looked like a political wake. and in some ways it just showed the disappointment of about half the people in this country, particularly when it comes to the attempt to elect a woman as president of the united states. >> well, actually i think in the end the gender piece of it was not as important as other

big change. and they didn't see her as an agent of change. we want washington to get it. we're not happy with what's going on out here. i know a lot of those people are stuck, the working class in the middle part of america. but yet when i saw those young people weeping and i thought to myself, i hope they stay on the hunt. i hope that they say that political and public service is very important to me. we went through this a lot in 1968 when richard nixon beat hu h people were giving up on the system. but you've got to stay in it if you're going to change it. donald trump stayed the course and ran a campaign that no one thought could be successful but he saw his way through it. >> after 50 years in the business you can still be surprised, can't you? >> i can be surprised every time. people were tired of hearing me saying this but my mantra during the campaign is the ufo theory, the unforeseen is going tooccur and it occurred and it occurred

>> let's get to this great honor, you're donating your memorabilia and papers to the university of iowa. why? >> it was their idea. they came to me. i was reluctant. do i have enough important stuff. they were persistent. they've got a wonderful world class library. all digitalized. the library of congress, connected. i started going through my material. and my god, i was astonished by how much i had and how important it was. >> can w things and actually as i walked over to say hi to you this morning i walked right past this picture here which is you and nancy reagan. do you know what year that was? >> it was -- it was about three years into their -- so about 1980 -- 1981 or '82. we had had a spat. i had said some things about the president that she really didn't like. i had known them from california days covering them. the word came back don't go near nancy, you don't want to get

you're going to be invited to a state dinner, you have to think about what you're going to say to her in the receiving line. don't worry about the president. all of the way up to her, he was saying, which you figured it out. i got to her and she looked at me with that steely look and i said to her, nancy, back to square one. at that moment the picture was taken and she said, back to square one. that photograph arrived the next difficult. this is how good she was. with the inscription, "tom, back toqu >> talk about what's on the table here. i'm a huge baseball fan. that is an incredible item. >> when the giants were playing the as in the world series we went a crew out toimaggio. we found him in his barber shop. he said this is for tom brokaw. i had never met him at that point. we said, do you think he would like a baseball from me? >> is this a trick question? >> what a wonderful inscription from joe dimaggio.

the berlin wall came down. and you've got mementos of that as well. >> well, the highlight of my career in so many ways. and as they started to knock off pieces of the berlin wall, ed lee, a computer experts, bring them to me. so i brought back a bunch of them and we will see some of them here and encase them as you can see and handed them out to my friends and every time i look at them i think about the symbolic of the end of the communism. >> this here are federal building in oklahoma city. >> john hanson, assistant fire commission, the spokesman there, brought that to me because i lived in oklahoma city for so many days. and as a product of the great plains i identified with what they were going through and wrote an essay about it. this is a notebook that i was interviewing bill gates, i got his name circled there, at a time, it was the beginning of the age that we're now moving through. i did a number of interviews

stopped using notebooks? >> you know, i still use them. i did even on election night. i wrote down things i wanted to make sure i have. i trusted the digital piece of it but at the same time there's something that connects me to the ideas that up writing about. >> great, by the way, great picture of you and nelson mandela. 50 years at nbc. i have been a fan for all of them. >> well, we've had friendships as well. that's the other part of it. the payoff for me is not what i got to do. it's all matt. you and i have the privilege of being out in front of the camera. we couldn't do it with all of these folks that are here supporting us every day. >> yeah. >> and i'm going to make an effort for all of them to get compensated as well as you do.

they're out in upstate new york right now cutting it down. we'll tell you the heartwarming story behind this year's rockefeller center tree. >> we always get a little bonded to the tree. it is our friend. also, we are getting ready for thanksgiving. we've been doing side dishes all week. i am very excited because potatoes are here. finally. today is potato day. the two michaels sharing some awesome recipes. then peter burg on norring our nation's hero. and i sat down with legendary carl reiner. >> you've got the forecast. you bet. right now we are looking at a gorgeous day in the east. little on the chilly side. gusty winds around the great lakes. near record temperatures in the plains. looking ahead toward friday, we have, again, a beautiful day from the great lakes, right on into the plain states.

wet side, windy and cooler as that front moves into the northeast. gorgeous weather along the gulf coast into thehhough we may have a few more clouds tomorrow, but the won't last long and will likely be fairly high. highs will be in the 60s and 70s today over the region, but cool down after that front tracks through tomorrow.... really getting us back to more normal levels for a couple of days. today, though will be well above normal with highs in the low to mid 60s with southwest winds gusting to 25 mph. clear tonight with lows n winds turn to the north.. they won't be as strong as today, but may still be a bit gusty with highs for veterans day back near normal... in >> don't forget, get that weather any time you need it. go to the weather channel on cable. >> mr. roker, thank you very much. director peter burg has brought some harrowing stories to the big screen, talking about

horizon." you can catch his latest project on the small screen just in time for veterans day. new history channel series called "the war fighters." peter, great to see you. talk to me about the idea behind this. because this is different from what you've done. >> well, i have done shows in the military space and i am a big fan and a supporter of our military. this show gave us an opportunity to go very deep in to the personal lives and into the tactical lives of the men and women of our special operations. story unfold, a true story, and we've all thought, what was behind that? you know, where did these people come from? where do they go after this happened to them? i love the fact as we are looking on the screen right now, we're hearing from the actual people. >> i'm very proud of the fact that 90 veterans actually worked on the show. they were part of making the show. one of the i think really unique aspects of war fighters is that

private guys you will ever meet in your life, telling really intimate stories about their love for each other and how they operated. >> it is so real because often times when hollywood does these stories -- i don't mean to paint with a broad brush -- you get only the bravado side of things. here you get the fact of what they felt like when they were going through it and what it was like after the trauma. >> absolutely. this episode you are seeing here is about mark guzzo who tragically committed suicide after he got out of serving in the s.e.a.l.s. he was an extraordinary man. you go et to hear interviews with his brothers from the military community, but also his parents who both served in the military for a combined 60 years. it's gut-wrenching and really takes you deeply into an issue which today, right after what we've experienced in the last couple of days, i think is so

bit more -- a lot more about these extraordinary men. >> i'm so glad you brought that up because the timing is important because veterans day obviously. but after an election like this that divides the nation in half, everyone can agree on the support for these kinds of people. >> certainly the one thing that clinton and trump both agreed on was that we need to do more for our veterans. i think that to do more we've got to understand more deeply who these men are, what they go like when they get out. if people really do care -- everybody likes to say "thank you for your service" and "i respect you so much." i feel like if we really care, it is our responsibility to get to know these men a little more deeply so we can understand that. >> talking about the small screen here. can we go back to the big screen for a second? >> do whatever you want, matt.

>> it starts right before the boston marathon bombing and ends right after the second bomber was caught. it is really a look at how this extraordinary community came together in the face of what is becoming this new horrific reality that we live in. it's also -- if i may say without getting in trouble, a positive look at law enforcement and a show that really reminds us why cops can be so -- such great, incredible people. it shows the very best horrific experience. >> the emotions are still so raw on that subject, especially up in boston. does that put extra pressure on you when you make a movie like that? >> i mean it -- i was joke something i should go do a love story in france and i end up making movies like "patriots's day" or "lone survivor." but to be welcomed into that community and meet the police and private citizens and the fbi agents and the medical personnel

here 9/11 and we've seen many places since then. but to see how honorable and patriotic and just what great men and women responded to boston like responded to tampa or san bernardino. it was an honor. so the pressure was a bit more intense than maybe doing a super hero film, but it was a privilege to tell that story. >> you and mark wahlberg are a good team on movies like this. peter, always good to see you. thank you very much. you can catch the veterans day marathon of "the war fighters" starting tomorrow night on the history channel. up next, al's going to sit down with a living legend -- carl reiner. but first, this is "today"

>> people actually hit themselves on the face? >> oh, boy, wow! >> that hurts though. >> boy, you bet it does. >> reporter: reiner's ad lib routine with mel brooks. >> mel is the funniest human being in the world. he's connected to the truth, to the absolute truth. you tell the absolute truth and you get a laugh. >> is it true that almost every night you and he sit here -- >> he sits right there. >> he sits >> right there. >> here are the two funniest guys on the planet, you're both now in your 90s. >> well, if you stop, then they put you away. >> what's your fountain of youth? >> having something to do. i can't wait to get up in the morning. you do these leg exercises. i'm not kidding, they absolutely work. very few people 94 can put their legs like that. >> carl, i'm just curious. there's like a couple of bags. are those feathers? >> you guessed.

>> they're chicken feathers. they come from those pillows. and mel sits there. one day he goes, what's that? it's a feather sticking. and i put them here. here's another one. >> here -- take it. >> you've written about relationships. you've written about friendships. what makes a good relationship? >> my wife said it best. marry someone who can stand you. isn't that perfect? she had a way my son, robby, when he did "harry and sally" and she's the one that delivered the line, "i'll have what she's having." >> i'll have what she's having. >> is comedy genetic? >> it can be genetic. that's a good beginning. but it is also environmentally. if you laugh at things, you find things to laugh at in the worse situations sometimes you find things to laugh at. >> oh, look at that. that's a goodie. that's worth it. >> that's worth it.

that piece. but i think in doing the yoga pose on the bed. >> at 94! >> he's very flexible and limber. >> that's the secret to good comedy. >> i don't know what might happen. >> that's cool. up next, michael white, michael lamonaco together in the kitchen, how to make
