studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. breaking news all over the place. president obama ready to nominate a replacement for supreme court justice antonin scalia one month after his death. >> we will bring this announcement to you live when it happens, as if we needed any more reminder of the stakes of this presidential election. that's where we begin. big night for donald trump and hillary clinton in the presidential race. they're inching closer to their party's nominations. >> trump notched victories in florida, north carolina, illinois and missouri. while ohio governor john kasich took his home state, only win of the race so far. here's how the delegates break down for the republicans. trump extending his lead, now up to 656. followed by ted cruz, marco rubio, who dropped out of the race, and governor kasich. >> in the democratic race,

hillary clinton bounced back from last week's loss in michigan. she swept all five states last night. her delegate lead over sanders, more than 700. >> we're going to talk to governor kasich live in a couple minutes and break down the night's results with our decision 2016 team. first, let's begin our coverage with nbc national correspondent peter alexander. peter, long night. good morning. >> yeah, it was a long night. matt, good morning to you. the next time donald trump is here in cleveland may be as the republican nominee at the convention this summer. another huge night for him. going four of five, racking up a ton of delegates. more than halfway to the magical number he needs to clinch the nomination. the only other candidate celebrating last night, john kasich. the last remaining mainstream republican in the race. >> reporter: then there were three. >> i have to thank the people of the great state of ohio. i love you. >> reporter: john kasich boasting a big win at home,

denying donald trump a clean sweep and drawing a stark contrast. >> i will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. >> reporter: earlier, vowing to take his campaign to the convention back here in cleveland. >> i'm going to keep doing what i'm doing, because i think people really do appreciate the positive message. >> reporter: trump basking in victory. >> this was an amazing evening, great evening. >> reporter: widening his delegate lead by winning the grand prize of florida, knocking out marco rubio, who was touted as the establishment's best chance to beat the billionaire. trump trawling rubio on twitter hours after he exited the race. >> i believe with all my heart that the winner of the florida primary next tuesday will be the nominee of the republican party. >> thanks, marco, trump vote. we agree. >> it will not leave us a fractured party, they're going to leave us a fractured nation.

>> reporter: ted cruz telling hallie jackson it's a two-man race. >> head to head is a nightmare for donald trump because 2/3 of republicans recognize he's not the best candidate to go against clinton because he loses against hillary clinton. >> reporter: mock s still. >> i have to explain to the people, they don't understand basic physics, basic mathematics, basic whatever you want to call it. >> reporter: surrounded by family and staff, trump gave credit to his campaign manager, who is still under investigation for allegedly grabbing a reporter last week. while tuesday's event was billed as a press conference -- >> thank you very much, everybody. thank you. >> reporter: trump left the stage without taking a single question. >> one of the statistics out of last night is the fact that donald trump was able to barrel

through anti-trump ads. more than $20 million spent against him across the five super tuesday states. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. governor john kasich is with us on the phone. good morning. >> good morning. >> congratulations on your win. this was a big one. i know you were hoping to win. it was a must-win for you. is any part of your feeling this morning a big sigh of relief? >> well, no, not really. i mean, really, it's a good accomplishme accomplishment. i beat trump by 11 points. it's remarkable, isn't it? lived in ohio, came in here and trashed me, and he lost. let me tell you, neither cruz nor trump can win the general election. you know, they can't come into ohio with the philosophies they have and win. you can't win ohio, you can't be president. what we'll be doing is we're going to now start to get the attention, we're starting to rise around the country. when people look at my record of

job creation in washington, job creation in ohio, bringing people together, reminding people we're americans before we're republicans and democrats and having common sense solutions, we've been able to do well. we have a ways to go, to make sure we're going to be traveling everywhere. we'll have a national campaign, and i'll be the nominee. >> i'll ask you about that. i swore there would be no math, but if you win every delegate from here on out, you still don't meet the magic number of 1,237, which means it would have to be the result of a contested convention. can you explain to people who support you, how are you going to pull that off? >> nobody is going to get enough delegates to win at the convention. everyone is going to fall short. that was what was so big about ohio. basically, for those people that wanted to have some sort of common sense in this election, when they wanted somebody that could raise the bar, you know, i refused to take the low road to the highest office.

if you see these guys fighting on the stage, it was absolutely unbelievable, what was going on there. nobody is going to have enough delegates. when we get there, the delegates will have to figure out, number one, who can run the country, who has the record and, three, who can win. >> nobody is going to have the required number of delegates, that's your prediction. one person who, mathematically, can get the required number of delegates, and that's donald trump. let me ask you this way: would you be willing to actively cooperate with ted cruz and his campaign to make sure that donald trump does not get to 1,237 and then take your chances at the convention? >> well, look, i don't have any intention of doing anything other than going out across the country and telling people about my message. in terms of whether campaigns will speak or not, i don't know. i don't get in the middle of that. i'm not a political operative.

i'm a candidate. >> but as the guy on the masthead, you wouldn't be involved in that discussion? >> look, i can tell you, all i can tell you about this, matt, is i'm out there running to the president. i'm not out to stop donald trump or stop anybody else. by winning yesterday in ohio, i've dealt him a very, very big blow to being able to have the number of delegates. if you want to talk about mathematics and you want to talk about probability, and really look at it hard -- and let me tell you the biggest probability, they can't win a general election for either of these guys. that's the biggest probability we have. >> let's end on saying congratulations on your win in ohio. >> i appreciate you guys. came out when i was in new hampshire and i said we'd keep going. i appreciate the people of ohio for allowing me to do this. after the country hears about my record, i think we'll continue to rise. god bless our country. >> governor, thank you very much

for being with us. on the democratic side, it was a huge night for hillary clinton, as we said. she swept all five contests. a major step toward clinching the nomination. clinton used her victory speech to take direct aim at the republican front runner, donald trump. nbc's kristen welker is in miami with more on that. good morning. >> good morning to you. secretary clinton wakes up this morning as the strong democratic front runner, after losing michigan last week. she proved last night she can compete in every corner of the country. it was a major blow to senator bernie sanders, whose path to the nomination got a whole lot tougher. >> hillary! >> reporter: this morning, hillary clinton celebrating a clean sweep. >> this is another super tuesday for our campaign. >> reporter: clinton defii ingd expectation expectations.

the buck eye state giving her a significant victory in what was expected to be a tight race. >> we're closer to securing the democratic party nomination and winning this election in november! >> reporter: overnight, clinton managed to seal the deal in two more states. the apparent winner in missouri and illinois. despite a sanders advertising glitch, clinton carried three states by double digits. in phoenix, arizona, sanders showed no signs of letting up. >> don't let people tell you that you can't think big. >> reporter: or giving up. >> next week, arizona has a very important election. we will win if the voter turnout is high. let's make it high. thank you all very much! >> reporter: but clinton is also looking to arizona. today, releasing this new spanish language ad. and leaving no doubt she's also

setting her sights on donald trump, the man who may be her next competitor. >> our commander in chief had to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it. >> campaign officials acknowledge the steep odds. in order for sanders to come back, he has to win big states like new york and pennsylvania, and winning them by huge mar zwr -- margins. still, he can stay in the race as long as he wants to. >> kristen, thank you very much. let's dive further into this with chuck todd. nbc's political director and moderator of "meet the press." nicolle wallace, political analyst, and mark, the managing editor of "bloomberg politics." give me your headline from last night. >> i think you'll hear a deafening roar in the republican party about the prospects of a brokered convention. it'll take place at the same time that trump has done nothing

but strengthen himself. there is a disconnect between the conversation the republicans are having and the reality. >> the republican establishment died last night. the republican establishment is shockingly willing now to let donald trump be the nominee. they're resigned to it, and they'll focus on trying to hold the house and the senate. >> let me pick up on that. nicolle, we talk about the stages of grief at the table. the bargaining, the anger. >> she does it all on a daily basis. >> exactly. >> as our establishment republican, is it acceptance phase? if establishment republicans are saying, we accept it, does that mean we're accepting we're probably going to lose the white house in 2016? >> i think it is a healthy acceptance of the will of the voters. our voters are speaking at the top of their lungs, and they're doing so at the polls, which is the appropriate and civilized place. ted cruz had a terrible night last night. he had the possibility of having the republican party start to coalesce around him, until he lost everything last night. >> john kasich, he'd been

hanging around on the sidelines, mark, for a long time. he steps up and wins his home state of ohio. does he get some kind of slingshot effect from that, that carries him further? >> i think he has 72 hours to show the establishment and the voters that he's a viable person here. his argument about the general election is powerful, but the delegates is more powerful. he can't win a majority now, and it'll be up to cruz and kasich to say, they're the stop trump movement. not meetings in washington. it's not campaign ads. it's not web campaigns. can either of them stop trump? i'm spectacle but they have a window to try. >> on the "times" this morning, yes, trump and clinton had big nights last night, but the resounding triumphs matched an unusual reality, most americans still don't like him or her. >> the most striking numbers in the exit polls were -- and i look at the battleground states

voting -- ohio, florida and north carolina. a full third of republican primary voters, when asked if trump and clinton are the nominees, will you be satisfied or consider a third party, over 40% of republicans in ohio said third party. 39% of north carolina republicans said third party. 30% of florida republicans. look, there is an anti-trump appetite out there. there's just no messenger to tap into it. ted cruz was horrendous last night in his attempt to put the party together. >> thanks for setting me up. i'll say two words. give me your first reaction. super fast. the two words are paul ryan. >> last gasp. if the convention blows up, he'll be the republican nominee. >> missed his window. >> part of what's happening now, acceptance that trump will be the nominee, barring some huge, unforeseen circumstance. >> thank you very much. meanwhile, i want to bring up something that happened on

this show on tuesday. donald trump apparently contradicting himself when he joined both us and our friends over at abc by phone. >> this is what happened. he talked to abc first, before their show. they asked him about that advertisement that showed women quoting things, quotes of mr. trump. here's what he said when asked about that ad. >> have you seen that and what did you make of it? >> i have seen it, and it was romney deal. >> a couple minutes later, he appeared live on this show. here's what he had to say. >> obviously, i have not seen the ad, so i have would have to see it. i've heard about the ad, but i have not seen the ad. >> does this matter? when a guy contradicts himself within a couple of minutes, do people care? >> pre-trump, that used to be the thing that tripped up a campaign. took two days to explain it to people like chuck and mark. in the post-trump era, he contradicts himself within a

news cycle. which was within the hour of the morning shows. >> hour? five muinutes. >> yeah. >> this is politics in the age of trump. the fact checkers are irrelev t irrelevant. in trump's power, in his trust he has with the supporters, the supporters trust trump more than the media. >> you asked before about whether republicans were resigning themselves to losing the general election if trump is the nominee. they believe hillary clinton is so weak that trump could beat her. part of what they're drawing on is the fact that trump flies above stuff like this and maybe he would against hillary clinton in the general election. >> we live in a post-truth political world. donald trump is the poster child. >> we have gone past our allotted time here. >> you're all in therapy with me now. >> exactly. >> we're eating into the nightly news's time. >> we'll have more in the next half hour. north korea's highest court sentenced an american college student to 15 years of hard

labor in prison. he was convicted of subversion and sentenced after a one-hour trial. he appeared disoriented and led through the courthouse. the university of virginia student was arrested during a tour group visit in january. north korea says he confessed to trying to steal a political banner from his hotel. former u.n. ambassador is reportedly working for his release. another story this morning, severe weather. outbreak of tornadoes across the midwest. while the south deals with some devastating flooding. many neighborhoods underwater, including one texas town coping with the worst flooding in more than half a century. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer is there. good morning. >> good morning. we're at the edge of the flood zone in texas, down the foggy road behind me is a community that's been completely destroyed. this isn't the only state that's seeing wild weather. the midwest has also been in the bull's eye. >> reporter: overnight, nine reports of tornadoes in parts of

the midwest. storm chasers capturing twisters near good hope, illinois. high winds and thunderstorms causing golf ball sized hail to pound parts of the state. residents there hunker down for more storms forecasted today. this morning in dewy ville, texas, many are waking up to catastrophic damage, after flood waters crested overnight. hundreds of homes in one town are waterlogged. 1,200 people ordered to evacuate. jace's family tried to save their home and was lucky to walk away with their cat. >> water went right over. >> destroyed everything? >> yeah. >> reporter: homes along highway 12 have been swamped with up to 8 feet of water. churches here for decades will need prayers for their own salvation. the only grocery store in town is seeing historic flooding. the cemetery is nearly all underwater. the top of headstones, barely

visible. >> the town appears to have the most damage, but water is everywhere. it's reaching homes even miles away. >> reporter: authorities know not everyone has evacuated. this water, they say, is dangerous in more ways than one. >> definitely. it's got contaminants in it. from the ground and from all the oils and sewaers and all that. >> reporter: with many waking up in shelters and others fishing in the street, in the coming days, the water here will slowly recede. as it does, it promises to reveal a town that's lost so much and may never be the same. >> residents who live in this area tell us they do not have flood insurance. the local river, which triggered the flooding, rose frto 8 feet above flood stage. folks here have never seen anything like this ever before. >> our thoughts are with those people. as we come to al, i feel like we've been looking at this

region on your map for a few weeks. they've been hit hard. >> and get hit again. fortunately, not quite as bad as the past but it won't help. major to moderate flooding, all these diamonds showing that. the sabine river at deweyville crested last evening. in orange, still going to continue to rise beyond the current level of almost 7.5 feet. while we're not alolooking at an of rain, the gulf can pick up 2 of rain, the gulf can pick up 2 inches b increase speed, full throttle!

nbc 10 news starts now. good morning, i'm vai sikahema. just shy of 7:30 this wednesday morning. let's get our forecast from nbc 10 first alert meteorologist sheena parveen. >> we're seeing a nice start to the day except for the fog that's out there. a beautiful picture of cape may right now right along the shore. we do have fog at the shore but in this image, looks pretty good. take a look at the visibility within cape may seeing one mile visibility, north and west through the lehigh valley. quarter mile in pottstown, zero in coatesville. dense fog around this morning, zero mile visibility in dover. temperatures about the mid to upper 60s, starting off your morning, we're mostly right now in the 40s. >> thank you, sheena. let's get a check on traffic.

looks like there's a problem on the roads with jessica boyington. >> it's in bensalem on woodhaven road around bristol pike. we're zoomed in on this scene but it is on the eastbound side of woodhaven road approaching bris tall pike. we do have that police activity, pretty obvious on the scene right here. penndot crews as well. there is a tow truck trying to get this vehicle out of way. two lanes still getting by the area. small delays remain behind it. fire officials in trenton is looking for the cause of this house fire. it started in an empty home on liberty street before 5:00 this morning. and then it spread to the house next door. the six people inside that home did get out safely and the red cross is helping them. we'll have another update, coming up in 25 minutes. always get the latest news and weather with the nbc 10 app. now back to the "today" show. have a great day. i'm vai sikahema. see you in a half hour.

7:30 now on this wednesday morning, march 16th, 2016. that music means one thing, it's the morning after election day. a clean sweep for hillary clinton while donald trump took four out of five states. we'll talk about that more in a moment. let's look at headlines from this morning. president obama will announce his choice to replace supreme court justice antonin scalia at 11:00 eastern time. in a just released written statement, the president did not release his pick but said the choice is qualified. he called it his constitutional duty to fill the seat vacated by scalia's death last month.

also in washington, commuters will have their patience tested there. the entire d.c. metro rail station is shut down for a day-long, emergency safety inspection. this is an unprecedented move. it was ordered after an electrical fire on monday. similar to one last year that killed one person and injured dozens of others. crews are checking hundreds of cables that supply power to the tracks. >> that ought to be a fun morning. north korea's supreme court sentenced a university of virginia student to 15 years of hard labor. he was accused of trying to steal a banner from a hotel while on a trip in january. the former u.n. ambassador richardson is reportedly working for his release. back to the results from tuesday's primaries. peter alexander is digging into the numbers. good morning. >> good morning to you. one of the big take aways from last night, besides the big night for hillary clinton and donald trump, were how many people didn't vote for trump on the republican side.

they'd consider a third party candidate. 1/3 of the voters said they'd be satisfied if the race came down to trump versus clinton in the general election. nearly half of those who voted for someone other than donald trump said that they would seriously consider a third party candidate going forward. in ohio, where we are right now, obviously going to be crucial coming up in the general election. not even 2/3 -- nearly 2/3 would consider a third party candidate. only 3 in 10 said they would be satisfied with a trump versus clinton race come november. among the democrats, hillary clinton with a big night. into her numbers in illinois, look where her strengths are. the key groups supporting clint clinton. a large number of african-americans, 70%. did well with older democrats. sanders still does very well with the democrats under the age of 45. he also does very well with white voters. clinton showing strength with

married women. also very strong with those voters who said that experience is one of the key issues they're looking for with a candidate. >> peter, thank you very much. ohio governor john kasich's win in his home state raises the chances of a rare contested convention. what is that and what would it look like? here to break it down is msnbc host and political correspondent steve kornacki. good morning to you. >> morning. >> you hear contested convention, brokered convention used interchangeably. are they the same? >> brokered convention is the old term. back in the days when you didn't have the primaries. delegations from states would arrive at the convention and they'd be controlled by a boss or a king maker. the king makers would get together behind closed door, hash out a deal, tell the delegates how to vote. at an open convention, the delegates would make the decision themselves in the light of day. >> get to cleveland, nobody has 1,237, the number of delegates needed to win the nomination. they hold the first ballot

anyway, just to prove it? >> mostly. however, the wild card in this, is if donald trump is really close to the number and not quite over, you also can have about 150 probably unbound delegates. they're going to show up as free agents. if trump is really close coming into the first vote, if he picks off enough of the unbound, he gets over. otherwise, everybody has to vote the way they were told by the primary. >> there are a lot of conversations going on now. >> right. throughout the spring, even the states that had the primaries already, they'll have their state convention where they pick the delegates who will vote. >> after the first ballot, nobody has the required number of delegates, can anybody now say, i'm in for a second ballot? >> technically, yeah, though it's more complicated. some of the rules in some of the states tell their delegates, even on the second ballot, you have to vote the way your primary or caucus voted. not every delegate is a free agent but a lot are.

beyond the second ballot, you're in a scenario where basically every delegate is going to be a free agent. historically, that's when the white knight candidates emerge. >> paul ryan could walk in and say, i'm ready if you want me? >> right, after the second. >> how many rounds? how long does this go on? >> it could go -- there's no limit. it goes until there is a winner. in the old days, you'd have dozens of ballots. woodrow wilson, i think it took 40 ballots and democrats settled on him. wasn't in contention at the beginning. you get that far in, crazy things happen. >> if you get the candidate who gets the conomination because oa contested convention, how does that impact that candidate's chances in a general election? >> there are zero examples in the television age of american politics. zero examples in the age when primaries and caucuses determined the delegates. if the republicans went with somebody besides trump, and

trump comes into the convention with the most delegates but not the majority, you'd have an angry donald trump and thousand or so delegates and several million trump voters who would be threatening not to vote for that party. >> a lot of tension in cleveland, ohio. steve kornacki, thank you very much. let's get a check of the weather from al. >> we have great restaurants in cleveland i can take you to. fantastic. although, unfortunately, we're going to be flying through the midwest from cleveland to chicago all the way up to minneso minnesota, minneapolis, high wind advisories. 38 million people under advisories. airport delays in minneapolis, des moines, chicago, indianapolis and detroit. the winds are going to be gusting upwards of 40 to 50 miles per hour. and we're going to be watching snow developing in the up of michigan, from minnesota to wisconsin. storms will come to an end, but it is going to be a blustery day. oiat's what's gng on around

good morning. i'm nbc 10 first alert meteorologist sheena parveen. for the afternoon, we have a chance of showers moving in, mostly late afternoon and into this evening. temperatures warmer than yesterday, about the mid to upper 60s. we will see more sunshine but ç then quickly those clouds move in with a chance for those showers. we go into your st. patrick's day, another chance for afternoon showers, highs in the low 60s. cooler for friday, 54 degrees. over the weekend, we are watching a storm system for sunday feeling like winter. >> that's your latest weather. matt? >> al, thank you very much. coming up next, the government's latest battle with a tech giant. what a standoff with the app could mean for its billion users. jennifer garner, live in our studio. first, these messages. we need this vacation so bad. absolutely. honey, can you grab my hat? got it! the weather's supposed to be beautiful this weekend, too. do you think we should get a boat?

stumped. >> reporter: it's the most popular mobile messaging system in the world, boasting 1 billion users. one of the advantages? convenience. >> i used it to talk to my friends that went to study aboard. >> text on what'sapp, and your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't know it. >> reporter: everything is encrypted and not made readable again until the person on the receiving end opens it up. facebook, the company that owned what'sapp, cannot read the messages, either while they're sent or afterward. when police come with a court order to tap into the messages, what'sapp cannot respond by de-coding them. the fbi has been calling that part of the going dark problem. now, president obama is adding his voice. >> that, i think, does not strike the balance that we have lived with for 200, 300 years. >> reporter: the co-founder of facebook says the company works hard to keep terrorist material off social media.

but when it comes to making all our communications secure, even so secure the police cannot read them, mark zuckerberg says that's how technology is evolving. >> i don't think requiring back doors into encryption is going to be an effective way to increase security, or is the right thing to do. >> reporter: what does it mean for users? unless congress acts, say the experts, it probably means more priva privacy. >> it's going to be difficult to find some middle ground, where our data is secure and, yet, law enforcement can access it. >> the justice department still trying to decide how to proceed in a criminal investigation they've been unable to get past the what'sapp encryption that leaves law enforcement in the dark. back to you. >> tom costello, thank you. coming up, brought back han solo. what's next for harrison ford? obviously, indiana jones. carson is in the orange room. jenna got the man behind "hamilton" to do some rapping

rectum. first of all, there's no medical -- literature is not that great so not a lot of review studies. what we know is that, number one, there's no real science behind the idea that we absorb toxins from our colon into our bodies. people with heart disease and kidney disease have to be careful about this. you can get dehydrated and have electrolyte imbalances. not something most of the people in the gi field recommend. >> busting the myths. thank you. up next, taylor swift sharing steamy fphotos from her romantic get away. who was the man beside her? we have the answer after this. you can help prevent blindness in undernourished children all over the world. when you get your vitamins at walgreens, you help give life-changing vitamins to kids across the globe.

there's limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto®. nice pass. safety first. 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 and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your 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 kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions.

treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. ready for a little pop fix? what's in your cup this morning? mine is water. we're starting off with an exclusive first look at a new film sure to be a summer blockbuster. the four horsemen are back. now, you see me 2, the sequel from the thriller in 2013. really good movie. this time, the group of mind-bending magicians are taking on their biggest illusion and facing off against a new nemesis, played by -- wait for it -- daniel radcliffe. take a look. >> a trap. >> tah-dah! >> this is the key to every computer system on the planet. i want you to steal it. >> we're going to play a little game. >> same thing to the person who did it to us. >> it feels good to be back.
