the ground. that is our broadcast on this monday night. thank you so very much for being here with us. good night from nbc news headquarters in new york. ♪ nunberg took over cable news like a car chase. he was on msnbc at 2:30, cnn at 3:30. i believe at 5:00, he called in to hgtv to incripple nate himself on flip or flop. i'm pretty sure after mueller gets through with him, it's going to be flip. >> former trump campaign aide sam nunburg spend a day defying robert mueller, but has he reversed course? last fight, he seemed to say he will likely cooperate with a subpoena from the special counsel.

plus, president trump once again railing against the russia probe and a former cia director weighing in. and this morning, the east coast is bracing for another possible nor'easter. a storm from the midwest is moving in with millions of americans under winter storm alerts. good morning, everybody. it is tuesday, march 6th. a former aide who helped launch donald trump's presidential campaign has remained in contact with members of his inner circle gave a series of bizarre, speculative and at times contradictory interviews yesterday. late last night, sam nunburg reversed himself and said he would end up cooperate, a subpoena from bob mueller's office after repeatedly saying he would not. nunberg has had a tumultuous

history with the president. he was fired at least twice for using racial slurs in old facebook posts. he was sued for breach of contract in 2016. they later settled out of court. yesterday, he revealed he had been subpoenaed for his participation in the trump campaign. and he was ordered to appear before a grand jury. before relenting, nunberg went on a media tour yesterday claiming he would fought cooperate. >> why should i hand them e-mails from november 1st, 2015? i was thinking about this today, katie. i was preparing it. should i spend 50 hours going over all my e-mails with roger and with steve bannon? and then they wanted e-mails that i had with hope hicks, with

corey lewandowski. give me a break. it's ridiculous. when i get a subpoena like this, robert is right, it's a witch-hunt. i mean mr. trump is right, it's a witch-hunt. i've spent money on an attorney. i've cooperated with them. when i got something like this and then they wanted me to go to the grand jury next friday and i believe they're trying to start a case against roger. >> why do you think after you did the other interview do they want to make you go into a grand jury room? >> because they're trying to set up a perjury case against roger stone and i'm not going to have it. roger is my mentor. he's like family to me. he he's like my father. >> you feel loyal to him. >> and i am not going to go in there for them to set up a case against roger. >> are you worried about getting arrested? >> i think it would be funny if they arrested me. >> you're held in contempt -- >> i think it would be really, really funny if they wanted to arrest me because i don't want

to spend 80 hours going over e-mails i had with steve bannon and roger stone. >> all right. so in his interviews, nunberg also lobbed multiple allegations against president trump drawing inferences from what he heard while being interviewed by the special counsel's office which received a stern denial from the white house. watch this. >> do you think that they have something on the president? >> i think they may. i think that he may have done something during the election. but i don't know that. >> let me ask you the about that trump tower meeting. president trump says he knew nothing about the meeting. do you think that that is true? >> no. >> you don't think that is true? >> no. it doesn't -- and, jake, i've watched your news reports. you know it's not true. he talked about her a week before. and i don't know why he did this. all he had to say was, yeah, we met with the russians.

the russians offered us something and we thought they had something and that was it. i don't know why he went around trying to hide it. they probably have something on trump. trump did something he pretty bad -- >> what do they have? >> i don't know. i think they were interested in something with his business. >> did they ask you about the way he runs his business? >> yes. and by the way, i have to idea what he did. >> sam nunberg, the president's former campaign aide is refuse agssa mean na ing a subpoena by the grand jury. he said president trump may have done something during the election and -- >> i don't think he knows that for sure because he's incorrect. as we've said many times before, there was no collusion with the trump campaign. anything further on what his actions are, he hasn't worked at the white house is so i certainly can't speak to him or

the lack of knowledge that he clearly has. >> meanwhile, president trump was making allegations of his own, railing against the russia investigation on twitter yesterday. quote, why did the obama administration start an investigation into the trump campaign with zero proof of wrongdoing long before the election in november? wanted to discredit so crooked h would win. unprecedented. bigger than watergate. plus, obama did nothing about about russian medaling. john brenner responded to this by saying, this tweet is a great example of your paranoia, constant misrepresentation of the facts, and increased anxiety and panic, rightly so, about the mueller investigation. when will those in congress and the 30% of americans who still support you realize you are a charlottan? >> in this instance, retired army general barry mccaffrey is

speaking out about the trump administration's conduct on the foreign stage, particularly the role of jared kushner and the president's odd appreciation for deck taters a dictators and denigration of allies. >> the president is impulsive. he does not have a staff yet. we ought to thank god we have secretary jim mattis in defense. i think that's an island of stability. but as a general approach, you know, i tell people one of the most humiliating photos i've seen was jared kushner, head of delegations at the iraqi government. on one side was the former bodyguard, on the other side, general joe dunnford, a 37-year-old in charge of transformation of government and midwest foreign policy with no experience at all helping leads our government.

the this isn't even nepotism. this is sheer foley. and i think the president is really getting unsettled and lashing out and is making bad judgments. we got a problem going forward with lack of judgment, impulsive action, and someone who praises duterte, the philippines, putin, the saudi crown prince, but is harsh in his public criticism of angela merkel wit, our closest who has been derogatory of nato and who the south koreans are now, i think, frankly worried about. >> joining us now, white house reporter for the washington examiner as steve nelson. steve, thanks for joining us. we just heard general mccaffrey there. not the first person to voice concern about jared kushner's role in the white house. sticking with kushner here, do you see kushner and ivanka trump

hanging on to those roles or do you see them getting pushed out or leaving on their own? because it seems as if now they are a distraction to what needs to get done. what do you think is the most likely scenario here for the two of them? >> so jared and ivanka's roles were to be advisers to president trump, people who would reign him in when he was about to do something that would shock the public, really. and their ability to advise the president would remain whether or not they are white house advisers, whether or not they have to show up to work in d.c. every day. the white house is certainly down playing talk about jared's security clearance and whether it affects his ability to access the information he needs is going to be more limited. jared, of course, was assigned to do pretty much everything in government. some of those have quietly faded away. but right now, they're stressing

that he is dealing with the nafta renegotiation, middle east peace. these are things that maybe aren't going to get solved very quickly and maybe the issue isn't going to be that significant. he will still have the president's ear. >> some big things to undertake that, middle east peace and solving the opioid addiction all on one man's shoulders. let's switch to the.topic of sam nunberg. beyond what we heard from sarah huckabee sanders yesterday, what kind of reaction are you hearing to his suggestion that the russians may have something on the president? >> well, it's unclear what his contention will be today. there was, of course, a tv anchor last night who claimed to have smelled chol on his breath. sam nunberg, there's reason to doubt what he says about the president. he, of course, has been fired at least twice by president trump, most recently in august 2015 which is well before the russians allegedly hacked democratic e-mails.

this was long before john podesta got a phishing e-mail, long before the dnc was attacked. it's unclear what he could not. the documents request communications after he was already fired which is interesting. it will be curious to see how this plays out and whether he has any regrets today about his many interviews. >> i imagine that mr. nunberg is probably waking up with a tv hangover this morning after his multitude of interviews on air, that is for sure. still ahead, it is election day in texas. we'll go live to the lonestar state as voters head to the poles in the first primary of this election season. and we're tracking a cross-country winter storm that could track the east coast as another nor'easter. we'll have the latest on the forecast, coming up next. models can be simulated...

welcome back, everybody.

in just a few hours, texas voters will head to the holes in the first primary of this election season. texans will make their picks for the state's top offices as well as for a rare eight open u.s. house seats. governor greg abbott, lieutenant governor ken paxton and u.s. senator ted cruz are all expected to survive their primary fights. however, today's voting marks the first tests for democrats hoping to flip several of the state seats as president trump's approval rating sits at 39% among texans. so far in the two weeks of early voting, in texas's 15 largest counties, democrats have seen their turn out numbers double since 2014. republican turnout is up, but only by 16%. there are a number of key races to watch here. including if incumbent commissioner and son of jeb bush george p. bush can stave off his

challenges and avoid a runoff in may. joining us now, gary. this is going to set the stage, really, for the next km of months heading up to the midterms come november. what races should we be watching today? >> yes. you won't hear this very often, but by far the most interesting races are on the democratic side. there are three key democratic primaries today that will determine who and how democrats are going to make this bit to win the u.s. house. probably the most interesting of the three races is right here in houston, texas, where i am. the texas seventh district. it's a big wealthy, mostly houston suburb made up of generally your typical mitt romney/george bush republicans. but this is a district that voted for hillary clinton in 2016. so democrats see it as right to flip in 2018. john culverson, the incumbent

rent here, will find out perhaps after today who he will face. and the national implications are these. democrats are tying to decide what kind of candidates they can put up in districts like this that can win. how liberal can you be? we're going to start to see some of those answers today. >> what are we expecting in terms of voter turnout there, garrett? >> so that's the other big question today. early voting turnout has been way with up, as you mentioned, particularly among democrats. about 10,000 people already voting in this one precinct that i'm in right now. but, again, democrats are usually the folks who do early vote, so it's hard to extrapolate a lot from that. what democrats nationwide want to see today is blowout turn out numbers across the state. maybe that doesn't translate to november, but maybe it does. and democrats are hoping to see

big enthusiasm, big turnouts in these primary races as reflections of the interest level in taking back the house. they want to see what we saw last year in new jersey and virginia continues starting today in texas. >> we'll have to wait and see what happens in texas and looking ahead to pennsylvania next week. garrett haake, thanks for getting up early for us. thank you. let's get a check on your weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. we've had over 33 million people under a winter storm watch. you also say this nor'easter that is headed our way is not going to bring as much wind and storm surge as the other one did, but a lot of wet snow. >> yeah. this will bring a bigger snow footprint across the region. here is where we're at. we've had this the blizzard overnight in areas of south dakota, still snowing in iowa. roads are treacherous around minneapolis this morning. that is the parent storm and this is the baby storm. these two are going to combine about 24 hours from right now.

so we have winter storm warnings the that have been issued. philadelphia, poughkeepsie, providence, you're right on the edge of in this one. boston, same for you. so areas north and west of boston providence will be the worst of it. let's geoff you the timing on all of this. you're just fining going to work today. for the most part, you're just find coming home. as we go through this evening, as we go through the evening hours, the snow moves over the top of the region. there will be some light snow. only an inch or two. so tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m., there could be some snow on the ground north and outside of philly in the northern portions of new jersey. it's really during the day on wednesday that we'll see this thing really blowing up. so let me fast forward it into the noon hour. where you see the blue, that's the snow. that's the heavy snow. so at noon tomorrow, new york city is in the midst of heavy snow. the poconos are getting nailed, the lower hudson valley just

start to go break out into connecticut. by 5:00 p.m., what a nightmare evening commute for southern and central new england. this is heavy snow. i think we're going to have lightning and thunder snow during the main portion of this storm. we could get 1 to 3 inches the per hour at that time. snowfall amounts, when you see the pink, that is 9 inches. 12 inches where it's red. so this is a block burst snow event from new york city through central and northern portions of new england. someone is going to end up with 18 inches of snow out of this and maybe even 24 if you get some of what we call the thunder snow. >> wow. >> yeah. tomorrow is going to be a nasty evening commute home. >> i imagine a lot of people are going to be heading home early from work. >> or working from home if you can get away with it. >> exactly. >> thanks, bill. still ahead, the latest from the larry nassar scandal as a gymnast becomes the first man to accuse the disgraced doctor of

. welcome back. the nfl will increase the league cap to $177.2 million for the 2018 season. this according to two team executives informed on the move. the reported move would also be the fifth straight year the cap has been increased by at least odds 10 million.

so that could be good news for steelers running back le'veon bell, but not so fast. back in january, bell said he would consider retirement at the age of 26 if the franchise tagged him, but the team may do just that. applying the tag for the second consecutive year in absence of a deal by tuesday's dead the line. meanwhile, the raiders have released linebacker alvin smith after an arrest warrant was issued following an alleged domestic violence incident over the weekend. smith allegedly with bit the wrist of the victims and fled the scene. he reportedly checked into a rehab facility following that incident. and the houston texans are facing scrutiny after several nfl agents told the chronicle that the team isn't interested in any players who participated in the protest during the national anthem. the team stated the report was categorically false and without merit. and the fallout over larry nassar revelations continues as the first man came forward to accuse the disgraced doctor of sex abuse.

18-year-old jacob moore joined several female athletes in a lawsuit adding his name to the list of over 200 victims. he alleged he was abused by the doctor in his home after receiving act eaccupunct thure. let's switch gears to college hoops over this touching moment for the maa title. more often than not, march provides the basketball world with more tears than cinderella stories, but the tears can provide memorable moments like last night. with a little over 20 seconds left in a losing effort, fairfield coach sydney johnson pulled tyler necessarion from

the game and the two shared an emotional moment that you can see there on the sidelines, what is the final game of nelson's collegiate career. it's nice to see so much passion for the game and that bond between a coach and a player. >> you don't often see that kind of thing. so it was nice to see that between a coach and his player, for sure. still ahead, after deck the ai decades in congress, another retirement. plus, house speaker paul ryan broking with president trump over his proposed tariffs. but despite the concern, president trump is not ready to back down. we'll be right back. . even a "red-hot mascot."

welcome back, everybody. it is the bottom of the hour. let's start with the morning's top stories. we begin with the former trump campaign aide, sam nunberg, who gave a series of bizarre and sometimes conflicting interviews yesterday. nunberg revealed that he, too, has been subpoenaed in the russia investigation and suggested bob mueller may have something on the president. nbc white house correspondent kristen welker has more on this. >> defiant and digging in, sam nunberg dropping this bombshell becoming the first former adviser to publicly suggest candidate trump may have done something wrong. nnberg spoke with katie live on

msnbc. >> do you think they have something on the president? >> i think they may. i think he may have done something during the election. but i don't know that fob sure. >> why do you think that? >> i can't explain that. mr. trump is right. the president is right. it's a witch-hunt. and i'm not going to cooperate. >> the white house firing back noting nunberg only served on the campaign in the early days. >> i don't think he knows that for sure because he's in correct. as we've said many times before, there was no collusion with the campaign. >> nunberg was fired from the campaign in 2015 after racist social media posts. despite that, he says he won't comply with a subpoena by special counsel robert mueller to appear before a grand jury. >> it's ridiculous to me. >> so is nunberg prepared to go

to jail over the issue? >>. >> i can it would be really, really funny if they arrest me because i don't want to spend 80 hours going over e-mails. >> nunberg has been subpoenaed for e-mails and documents going over the campaign. >> in the end, the grand jury is entitled to every person's evidence and i'm quite certain they will get it. >>. >> witnesses can be thrown in jail until they cooperate or until the grand jury expires. >> thank you. late last night, nunberg told nbc news that he is likely to cooperate with the subpoena. and paul ryan is breaking with president trump over his new tariffs on steel and aluminum, criticizing the move as a potentially dangerous one.

he echoed concerns that this could start a trade war. the statement said we are extremely worried about the questions consequences of a trade war and are urging the white house not to advance with this plan. the tax reform law has boosted the economy and we don't want to jeopardize those gains. despite the plea, president trump says he's not backing down from his decision. >> paul ryan says he's backing down on the trade war. >> we've had a very bad deal with mexico, a very bad deal with canada. it's calmed nafta. for many years, nafta has been a disaster. we are renegotiating nafta, as i said i would. and if we don't make a deal, i'll terminate nafta. but if i do make a deal fair to the american people and the

workers, that would be i would imagine one of the deals we'll negotiation. it will be tariffs on steel for canada and for mexico. we'll see what happens. >> and speaking yesterday, kevin brady said the president has not made a final decision regarding tariffs and stressed that he is trying to work with him to tailor the tariffs to help strengthen the economy. nobody ever wins trade wars. the president continues to treat trade as a zero sum game, we win, they lose, they lose, we win. that's just not it is the trade. >> and senator flake will have more of his thoughts coming up

on "morning joe." >>. >> republican thad cochran of mississippi has announced his retirement. the 80-year-old released a statement yesterday saying, quote, i regret my health has become an ongoing challenge. i intend to fulfill my responsibilities and commitments to the people of mississippi and the senate through the completion of the 2018 appropriations cycle. after which i will formally retire from the u.s. senate. he was first elected to the house back in 1973. then to the senate five years later. cochran is the tenth longest serving senator in u.s. history now in his 11th term. in 2014, politico referred to him as the last southern

gentleman. there will noe now be two open seats in mississippi this year. mcdaniel released a statement saying he is currently focused on his campaign against wicker but adds, quote, all options remain the on the table as we determine the best way to ensure that mississippi elects conservatives to the u.s. senate. it will be up to mississippi governor phil bryant to appoint a successor to fill cochran's seat until the spec election. steve, good to talk to you once again. let's stick with cochran's retirement here. you who disruptive is his retirement for the gop and does this give democrats any sort of opening in this state? >> it shouldn't be disruptive for the republicans, but we

really don't know what's going to happen in states where there's one party control like mississippi or alabama. of course, things didn't work out so well in alabama when roy moore became the nominee. there's at least a small chance of something like that happening again in mississippi. the last time that rock ran ran for re-election, there was a bizarre conspiracy to break into the nursing home where his wife was living and take pictures. three people were convicted of that. it shouldn't be a problem for republicans, but we don't know that yet. >> let's turn to the battle over tariffs now. is this developing into a major rift in the republican party? and is there a sense in d.c. right now that lawmakers are going to be able to push the president to more of a compromise? >> it's a major clash. there's one thing that united republicans other than tax cuts

before president trump took over. it was support for free trade. president trump is a long time supporter of tariffs. so there is a collision course here. it will be interesting to see how this is he resolved. republicans are trying to speak his language, perhaps reign in what exactly is going to happen in terms of tariffs. that probably is more likely the situation, that they're going to attempt to curb rather than totally stop this. >> steve nelson for us, thank you. and president trump hosted israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the white house yesterday. it's the fifth meeting between the two since trump took office and comes at a time of escalating tensions. another major topic, the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem part of which is set to open in may and trump said he wants to attend. >> i may.

i may. they have started, as you know, construction. and i may. we'll be talking about that and other thing. we're looking at coming. if i can, i will. but i'll be there, again. israel is very special to me. >> the president had some comments about the price of the embassy. >> we'll have it built very quickly and very inexpensively. they put an order in front of me desk last week for $1 billion. i said what's that for? we're going to build an embassy. i said we're not going to spend $1 billion. and we're doing it for about $250,000. check that out. it's temporary, but it will be very nice. $250,000 versus $1 billion. is that good? >> as npr notes, america is not building an embassy for $250,000, explaining that trump is most likely confusing and misrepresenting the plan to build a permanent new embassy

within the next now years with a plan to open a temporary embassy office this year located inside an already existing structure there. the ap reported last month that the trump administration is considering a plan which would allow casino magnet sheldon adelson to pay for part of the embassy's construction. last month, it was announced that netanyahu would be charged in corruption and a former adviser of his agreed to turn as the state's witness in one of the cases against him. let's switch gears here. the white house is considering new military action against syria. it comes following reports that assad regime conducted a chlorine gas attack on eastern ghouta just over a week ago which left one child dead and

wounded more than a dozen civilians. officials tell "the washington post" that president trump has been discussing potential military responses and chief of staff john kelly, national security adviser hr mcmaster and defense secretary jim mattis with one senior administration official adding that mattis was adamantly against military action while mattis was for it. meanwhile, amid the ongoing air and land assault, a u.n. aid convoy finally entered eastern ghouta yesterday. however, syrian authorities seized vital medical supplies and most of the food aid. at least 740 people, including 171 children and 104 women have been killed since the assad regime began its bombardment of eastern ghouta back on february 18th. in south korea, a special

envoy has returned home after an extended meeting with kim jong un in pyongyang. this is the first time south korean officials have ever visited this site. it is the first time since 2011 that a south korean envoy has visited the north. a future summit between noon moon and kim jong un was discussed and north korean media says a satisfactory agreement was made after hearing the desire for the historic summit. still ahead, ben carson is speaking out on his time as the head of hud. the challenges he says he's faced and why he says his previous job as a brain surgeon is easier. plus, bill karins is tracking another nor'easter set to bring a fresh round of wind and snow.

it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

welcome back, everybody.

housing and urb housing and urban secretary ben carson is speaking out about his often criticized time at the head of the agency a. in an interview with the "new york times," carson tells the paper that being responsible of hud is a complicated undertaking. he told the paper that, quote, there are more complexities here than in brain surgery in regards to running the agency adding, quote, doing this job is going to be a very intricate process. he considered quitting during recent wrangling over the department's budget. the interview comes in the wake of the realize that hud spent $31,000 to replace a dining room set for carson's office. that order was later canceled. let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. bill, you're tracking this nor'easter heading east. what can you tell us about it? >> some of the cities will get their biggest snowfall of the

winter and some of the ski resorts will get their biggest snowfall of the winter, as well. great for them. they can stay open through april after they get this another foot of snow. the wind is howling. we caught this truck here, at least dalton martin did. yeah, sideways. gravity at work. yeah. we don't know how that ended up, by the way. but hopefully that hill stopped before hitting anything. so that's the storm system up here now in iowa and minnesota. this storm slides through the great lakes today, weakens and combines with this storm in northern portions of alabama and it all dwopd develops off the maryland coast. albany, hartford, bridgeport, boston -- actually, boston is not in the winter storm warning right now. they're still on the watch because you're on the edge of if you're going to be heavy snow or heavy snow and rain mix. the mountains of new england,

even in central new england and southern new england, they're going to get 12 to 18, someone will get two feet of snow. here is the snowfall map. the first thing you have to notice is this, when you get to the purple color, that's six inches. that's half a foot of snow that comes down and this is the footprint for half a foot. this is a huge section getting 6 inches of snow. inside of that, that is where we see this red color and this is where we get the foot of snow likely. so it's i-95 interior to the north of i-95. and that could include areas just north of new york city. hartford could get a foot out of this. portland, concord and new hampshire, also. this will be a big snowstorm and the biggest problem is the inconvenience. hundreds of schools, thousands of schools cancel and everyone has to drive home in this if they go to work wednesday morning. that's the problem. >> here is the opportunity to stay home, if you can, so you don't end up sliding down the rod like that truck did. still ahead, the standoff over president trump's family

hotel business and a property finally comes to an end. plus, amazon looks to get into the game of banking with its own checking account. that story when we come back. first, we head to vermont. and go to our coffee shop. and meet dave. hey. why is dark magic so spell-bindingly good, he asks? let me show you. let's go. so we climb. hike. see a bear. woah. reach the top. dave says dark magic is a bold blend of coffee with rich flavors of uganda, sumatra, colombia and other parts of south america. like these mountains, each amazing on their own. but together? magical. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters packed with goodness. she's noticing a real difference in her joint comfort... karen: "she's single." ...and high levels of humiliation in her daughter. in just 7 days, your joint comfort can be your kid's discomfort. osteo bi-flex. made to move. ♪ wild thing ♪
