rand paul becoming the second republican to officially join the 2016 presidential race. he scheduled an event in louisville today. kelly o'donnell is there. good morning. >> good morning. rand paul hopes a nine-letter word will set him apart. different. he is trying to position himself as a different kind of republican in what will be a large field of gop contenders. he is not an establishment figure. he is trying to cut a different path. >> late monday from pressing the stars and stripes to the big screen staging. today from rand paul's old kentucky home his presidential campaign begins with this movie-style trailer. >> it's time for a new way, a new set of ideas, a new leader. >> the 52-year-old has

presidential ambitions and grass roots organization. ron paul ran three times. the 2010 tea party movement propelled him to the senate. >> we have come to take our government back. >> and push his republican party beyond his comfort zone. paul is libertarian. wary of u.s. military intervention and use of drones putting him at odds with gop. >> everything on our side except for rand paul can do better. >> i think we should give diplomacy a chance. >> he quotes oncer voters. paul who is an eye surgian took cameras along when he performed free procedures in guatemala. he became the second senator to announce the run. in the ring was ted cruz and

next week marco rubio will launch his gig. hopefuls consider their next move. in a campaign season details matter. paul dropped the word senator from his official twitter handle deemphasizing his place in washington making it easier to position himself as someone running as an outsider in a field that probably will have a bush and clinton. >> thank you very much. the managing editor of bloomberg politics and also in louisville for the kickoff. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. >> different is the word of the day. this is a different rand paul than the guy who was elected four years ago as the darling of the tea party. what are the biggest changes? >> the country is not going to elect a pure tea partier. he wants us not to see different, but to win the white

house. he is convinced that if you smooth off the round edges, he has a chance to be nominee. >> that's a big challenge you talked about. can he retain that tea party cred while attracting more mainstream republicans? >> that's the trick. he's a very talented guy politically and he speaks the language to younger voters that older voters won't recognize. the magic and the ability to speak to the core base will sustain. the question is while he keeps people energized, can he reach out and span the party in a way that allows people to say yes, that guy should be a credible commander in chief. that makes him seen as a credible commander in chief. >> let's talk about that credibility and take one foreign policy issue, iran. he supported the presidential

issueses of diplomacy in the nuclear talks and yet one of the senator who is signed the open letter to the ayatollah saying any deal can be undone. they are running an ad that contains a comment he made about iran paraphrasing here it's ridiculous to think of them as a threat to our national security. does he have a credibility problem when it comes to foreign policy? >> he has to convince people he is more in line with the foreign policy. they are a departure from tone and substance from before. this is to me the big part. he's a talented guy, but they are not going to nominate someone who is not ready to be president from day one. the positions on israel and iran he wants to be president and he will try to find a way to speak true to his core convictions and show republicans he is ready to take over.

them before publishing the story. >> the fault lies squarely on rolling stone. >> an attorney for jackie declined to comment. she did not cooperate with the police investigation or columbia university's review. they hope it does not help future victims from coming forward. >> they are working with them. >> gabe gutierrez, nbc news charlottesville, virginia. >> we have not heard the end of that story. >> natalie is here for the latest on a really bad story out of maryland. >> a heartbreaker. a father and his seven children die from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning in the home. the gas generator ran out of fuel. >> a heart wrenching discovery as police found the bodies of rodney and his seven children ages 6 through 16 dead in their

term, that worries them. >> i say watch me. take a look. take a look at the 18 hour days and my legislative accomplishments. i'm just getting started. >> he landed a job at the senate armed service committee. >> good news for starbucks employees. the coffee giant is picking up the tab for college tuition. workers can have four years of college covered from an online universe. starbucks said the decision is part of the commitment to redefine the role and responsibility of a public company. so far nearly 2,000 workers have enrolled in the program. and more proof that a little teamwork can go a long way. dozens of commuters pitched in to free a woman whose leg was stuck between a plane car and a

was married to mary magdalen disputed by scholars alike. >> this does not prove it was the tomb that was the center of christian belief. it may prove that somebody named jesus was buried there and he had a father named joseph. that's all we know. >> skeptics say the names were all very common at the time. the authenticity of the inscription has long been disputed but supporter, excited over the new research say linking this to the possible family tomb of jesus would be another testament to the importance. >> no faith required. you know it's true. >> faith only comes into it if you want to believe it's not. >> it is going to be really controversial.

>> no no. i have eight guys and four of them are freshmen and they believe in one another. we told them like we do most of the time be themselves. when they are themselves we have a great chance to win and if we didn't win, somebody beat us when we would be at our best. throughout the whole season that was my main message to my team. they trust one another. it has been my best group as far as being together in close to 40 years. >> you talk about the young guys. you have a lot of things to look forward to. should i have my son, jack pencil duke in in the final game for his bracket for next year? >> if all the guys came back we would have us a better chance

but also pencil us in. we will always try to be there. >> your daughter had that in front of me. she knows you are having a good time this season because you are home all the time and smiling. he that scowly face on. >> the face was a lot because i have three daughters going through their teenage years. >> nice. >> the basketball court is a rest. >> we can hear your voice is hoarse from yelling, but all the championships you have won, you have done it by gaping the respect of everyone who plays the game because you treat the players with great respect. congratulations to you and duke. >> thank you. i love the game. i have been fortunate to do what i love for my entire life. to do it at duke university and

the united states military academy, my two schools. how can it be better than that? >> congratulations again. well done. >> thank you. >> meantime we have an emmy and golden globe winner with us. in a moment we will talk to her about a memoire and first, some of the roles that made candice bergen a household name. >> it had to do with something you have got and i don't. a tiny pathetic little y chromosome. >> candice bergen is best known for playing tough talking journalist murphy brown that lasted ten years. it earned her five emmys and two golden globes and left a lasting impression about the world of pop culture and politics. >> we believe murphy brown glamorizes single motherhood. >> what are planet is he on?

>> she was the magazine editor on "sex and the city" and the law partner on boston legal. the oscar nomination continues to land big screen rolls as well. miss congeniality in 2000 and bride wars in 2009. she was the first female host of "saturday night live" and is a member of the show's exclusive five timers club. her career is only part of candicen's fascinating and she writes all about it in a fine romance. >> ever since i heard you were writing a second book i came back. >> thank you. let's start with the book. you start by talking about the birth of your daughter chloe. it made you the happiest you have ever been in your life. before that moment you had real doubts about whether you had the commitment to be a parent. >> well i was caught in the swirling political movement of

the time called feminism among other things. it was a confusing time. women were putting off childbirth and then there was a cartoon where she says oh, my god, i forgot to have children. i didn't want to be that woman. >> you knew instantly you were cut out for it? >> yeah. the love of my life. overwhelming. >> just a few years after chloe was born you got what many consider the role of a lifetime which was murphy brown. they had someone else in mind originally and you thought you brew the audition. what went wrong? >> i flew from new york to l.a. to read for the head of cbs. he closed the electric drapes with a remote control and overheadlights. it was a little like an interrogation room. it didn't foster a great light

in the office. i just tanked. >> you blue your lines or weren't you? >> i blue my lines and i was tense. i was intimidated. he just said nice meeting you and it was next. then they said i don't think so. we want her. >> boy were they smart because you won five emmys for the role of murphy brown. you famously put yourself out of the running and in that book you tell the reason why. >> i did find and i could cents shift in the audience. literally again. every time i would come back to the set of murphy after winning the emmy it took about a week for things to normalize. >> because you were getting so much attention? >> and it was a great cast and

they all deserved emmys and should have had them. and for me one of the great joys of murphy is i loved the cast and the crew. >> did you feel you took yourself out of the running? >> a few months ago. and charlie said hmm. >> i can't think of murphy brown without dan quayle. every week there was a dan quayle joke on the show and then there was that comment that he made and paraphrasing, but when murphy had her child without being married he mentioned that as being socially that he did not agree with. >> missing the importance of a father. >> something you remember after all these years. >> what was it like to be you, candice bergen in that swirl over murphy brown and dan quayle? >> i was in total overwhelm. i didn't say anything.

i would come out to get the paper in the morning and i was on the front page of the "new york times," a picture of murphy holding a baby with him talking. it became a campaign platform. a presidential campaign. it's the story that carried over six months. >> often times they imitate life and vice-versa. you played this journalist in murphy brown and you were also approached in real life a couple of times by 60 minutes. they wanted you to be a correspondent for them and the "today" show considered having you replace barbara walters. why didn't you take it? >> i don't recall getting an offer to replace barbara walters. i know barbara said i thought you were going to replace me. i don't remember that but i just thought -- i didn't think i could handle the schedule and i thought it would restrict my life. >> any second thoughts now? >> yeah.

if i had taken it i wouldn't have been able to play murphy. i wouldn't have traded that for anything. >> some of the things received a lot of attention in this book. >> on the show in fact. >> did you watch it? >> i heard. i had so many calls. >> you talked about your weight currently and you said -- >> it was a scant reference on page 150 or something. a page and a half. >> the one comment and they pull it out. >> so what they say is let me come out and say it. i am fat. i live to eat and none of the live to eat stuff for me. i am a champion eater. no carb is safe. no fat either. have you been surprised by the reaction to those words? >> yes. no kidding. i was just saying that i don't enjoy eating lunch with some women who only have kale.

i find it limiting and sort of -- i would rather not go on if that's what i had to eat to fuel myself. >> the comment, it seems to come from a place of is extremely comfortable in her own skin. at the age of how old? >> almost 69. i'm not 70 though. i'm very comfortable. would i love to lose 10 or 15 pounds? absolutely. but i haven't taken the steps to do it. >> you have been honest about the fact that you have had some plastic surgery in the past. >> i had my eyes done at 41 when i started murphy and next year i had bands under my neck because they were catching the light. i don't know if you noticed, the tv light is harsh. >> welcome to my world. >> and that's all i had done. >> do you feel free of the

pressure of hollywood and in terms of appearance these days? >> i mean i am on the older margin now so i'm kind of -- i play mothers and mothers of old men, by the way. it's sort of distressing, but yeah i feel free frankly. pretty much across the board. >> michael had a crush on you for 50 years and he speaks for a lot of us. we are thrilled to have you here. the book is called a fine romance and it is out right now. >> thank you. >> savannah. >> look who i have over here. michael douglas, one of our favorite guests. i mean this in the best possibl

he was at the pool and a guy confronted him and verbally assaulted him and he came to you very upset. finish the story for me. >> he came up to me in the room really upset. this man was yelling at him and i'm looking at him and he recently had a barmitzvah and somebody had given him the star of david. i said this couldn't be. i went down to the pool to ask this man what the problem was and he said there too many people in the world and there has to be rules and regulations and obviously it came from that. >> this anti-semitic rant in your opinion. >> i said to dylan, this is a case of anti-semitism. >> how did he respond? >> he was proud of the fact that the irony is my father is jewish

and my mother is protestant. never actively involved until later in life. i married catherine who was catholic. when our son went to school and met a couple of jewish friends and they went friday night and six months later he said i want to have a barmitzvah. we were touched. we couldn't believe it. we were expreem treatmently proud of it and as a result he brought a lot of spirituality to our life. i have been involved with the foundation and fortunate enough to win a prize after michael bloomberg last year and i am actively involved with bringing interfaith families together. >> you don't want your family to go through that but it opens his eyes to the world around him. >> it opened his eyes and i was

if i start to pay attention now, maybe i will have a good luck. >> i want to ask you about the ways that you did it but i should also mention in the sopranos in the book, that had something to do with this change mind set you went through. >> i watched my parents and about a year later jimmy passed away. jimmy was a decade junger than me. i was shocked. i think we were all shocked by his death. >> when you decided to write the book what was the most important thing you wanted to get across? what do you want to tell to others who may be similar to you thinking i want to make a change and i don't know how to start? >> i have a friend who is a life coach and she took me on a cleanse and i did that for two

weeks. it's a very limited diet but we did it to detox and to change my way of thinking about food. lying down watching a bag of licorice was not really the best thing for me. she helped me change my way of thinking about food. i thought i was eating healthy until i started to look at the packages and reading what was in it. i was eating a ton of sugar. a ton of gluten. i was eating a ton of dairy. >> you just described my diet. >> it's all of our diets. she taught me how to exchange food. i was never hungry which was the great thing on the cleanse. what do you call that? hungry angry thing. >> i'm familiar. >> feed me, feed me. i am still like that but now i

eat healthy snacks. i fill my body with things that feed me instead of take away my energy and my lifeline. >> i said you do shine. every time i see you. i do like you. the secret is out. so good to see you, lorraine. >> thank you, my love. >> the book is called to the fullest and it's in bookstores today. coming up next more secrets to longevity. a place that could hold the key to living to 100 years old. how do they do it? first, this is "today" on nbc.

that we can imitate. >> and you don't have to think about it. >> they discovered five places they dubbed blue zones in japan, costa rica and california. people live up to years longer than the rest of us. >> you said it's the mother of all blue zones. >> in america there is only one for 5,000 people. >> 245ir unwrapped the way of life. they eat what they drink and how they move. >> these are the ideas here that you can bring back to america. you can't promise americans can live to 100, but you can promise the average american can live healthy if they optimize their life. >> i love that 100-year-old women had sex on sunday. they are living zesty lives.

diet should i be on, what's the best way to hand-pick something that works for them? >> great question. a diet is a big deal. i needed a new pair of shoes and i spent three days on the internet researching. a diet should be like a marriage. you want want to stick with it for the rest of your life. do due diligence and research and figure out what works for you. if you're the type of person that's on the go and i don't want to prepare any of my meals, you might consider jenny craig. but some people are the opposite. i cook, so i might tend towards weight watchers. do the research. find out what's require with these and fit what's best for you. >> most of the people in our joy fit say weight watchers is one of the reasons -- >> and they exercise, too. thank you. >> absolutely, thank you. coming up get the tissues ready when we unveil some amazing makeovers for some truly deserving young girls. and if you wind up with you total your brand new car. nobody's hurt,but there will still be pain.

you know who you are with that boat full of leftover sticks of butter sitting in the package. >> nbc news health and nutrition editor madelyn fernstrom is here to tell you whether to freeze it

or eat it. >> it's one of my favorite games. she's putting us to the test. what are we doing? >> so you each are going to have seven items, they're both the same things. some things you can freeze. if you think you can freeze it, put it in this freezer tub. if you think i better eat it now, put it into this bin. >> are we starting with something? >> you'll get 20 seconds to do this. and when time is up i'll see who got it right. >> we have to countdown -- >> you have your seven items -- >> the basket and the freezer? >> you'll share them both. yours are yellow. yours are red. wait i have to count down. ready set go! 20 seconds on the clock. where do you think it belongs? freeze it or eat it? >> what is this? >> that's cream cheese.

>> hoda's all done. and we're done. okay. >> what happened? >> i have no idea. and i don't care. >> oh, yes, you do. now we're going to start -- >> mine are yellow? >> yours are yellow. >> and yours are red. >> you don't like get this after the first one. the first one is butter. hoda said that you can freeze its. so did kathie lee. you're both right. but what you want to do is -- you have to wrap it up really carefully -- >> so just eat it instead. >> no, no, no it is freeze it. >> how long? >> you can freeze it for about four months. >> but you forget about it -- >> clean out your freezer now and then. >> not going to happen. >> let's move on to cream cheese. hoda said you can freeze it. >> yes, you can. >> i said the same thing, i think. >> you said the same thing. i can't find your cream cheese -- no, you said you eat

it. and kathie lee would be right. you cannot freeze cream cheese because it gets dry and crumbly. >> that's a point for kathie lee and not for hoda. >> i don't like this game. >> yes, you do. again, grated cheese, hoda says you can freeze it. >> kathie lee said, no, you better eat it now. and hoda would be right. >> but it's tastier fresh. >> it's going to be frozen -- >> i'm still not going to. >> but you can. it's great. you can take a big block off as you need it for several months because you have a lot of leftovers. >> it will be there with the butter in several months. >> it's 2-2 and i'm about to take the lead. >> we have another disagreement. we have gravy. hoda says you can freeze it.

kathie lee says you should eat it. when you freeze it it loses flavor. that would be kathie lee's point. but now we go to milk. can you freeze it or not? hoda said you can't freeze it. >> kathie lee is correct. you can freeze it up to about a month. but pour out some milk. >> i want to go back to "the new york times" front-page story. >> well, let's finish up strong. let's go to some cupcakes. hoda said -- >> why would you waste time freezing your cupcakes? >> hoda is right because the frosting gets crumbly. >> you have four points. i have three points. we're down to one item. >> fried chicken. hoda says eat it kathie lee

said freeze it. hoda is right. >> what is it? what is the prize madelyn? >> it is a cooler to keep everything nice and cool. >> that's awesome. >> hope you had a good time. >> thank you so much madelyn. reed alexander will help us make some decisions on snacks. >> we love him. woman: for soft beautiful feet i have a professional secret: amopé and its premium foot care line. the new amopé pedi perfect foot file gives you soft beautiful feet effortlessly. its microlumina rotating head buffs away hard skin even on those hard-to-reach spots. it's amazing. you can see it and feel it. my new must-have for soft, beautiful feet. amopé pedi perfect. find it in the foot care aisle or at the registers in these stores. today, i'm going to fight hunger.
