7:04 am
center stage, speaking about the retweet of her and melania trump side by side. >> i don't tweet so i didn't see it. it didn't impact me in the least. >> reporter: backup from former rival marco rubio. >> i want the nominee to be a conservative. at this moment, of the candidates actively campaigning, the only one that fits the criteria is ted cruz. i've said that publicly. >> on the democratic side, bernie sanders is getting some new support of his own. his very first endorsement from a senate colleague, jeff merkley of oregon, announcing he'll back his vermont counterpart. >> thank you. mark zuckerberg appeared to take a swipe during a keynote speech to trump. he referred to trump's position on immigration, though never mentioned his name. >> we're starting to see people and nations turning inward, against this idea of a connected
7:05 am
world and a global community. i hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as others. instead of building walls, we can help people build bridges. and instead of dividing people, we can help bring people together. >> zuckerberg has long been an outspoken proponent of immigration reform. posted on his facebook page, writing about how important the speech was to him. adding, quote, it isn't about any one person or country. house speaker paul ryan again ruled out a last-minute bid for the white house. he tried to put an end to the growing speculation about his 2016 ambitions. he also spoke exclusively with nbc national correspondent peter alexander. good morning. >> good morning to you. this really was an unusual news conference in what is obviously already an extraordinary 2016 political campaign. we spoke exclusively to paul ryan, who again ruled himself
7:06 am
out as the republican nominee. but he also had strong opinions about who convention delegates should consider. >> reporter: trying to put to rest unrelenting 2016 speculation, paul ryan says, count me out. >> to be the president, you should actually run for it. i chose not to do this. therefore, i should not be considered. period. end of story. >> reporter: hours later during our exclusive interview at the capitao capitol, speaker ryan redirected attention elsewhere. >> i will not be the nominee. we should select among the people who actually ran for the job. >> reporter: still, mainstream republicans are pressing for ryan to accept his party's nomination. if donald trump or ted cruz can't clinch it at a contested convention. the country's most powerful republican wants a rule, mandating the nominee must have run. >> can we see walker or jeb bush or marco rubio? >> you have to be one of the
7:07 am
candidates who ran for president. >> reporter: ryan insisted he's not a candidate before. >> i'm not running for president. i made that decision consciously not to. >> reporter: while he says no, his actions fueled more buzz. including a campaign-style video days ago. a statesman-like trip overseas. and a history of public denials that he's angling for higher office before accepting it. last fall, john boehner's successor. for the next president, ryan isn't making any predictions. >> it's going to be a new person. i can tell you that. >> it's not going to be you? >> not me. >> to be very clear, you're not running for president? >> yes, that's to be very clear. thank you. >> for donald trump's complaints that the rnc is corrupt and unfair, ryan didn't weigh in. he said there is a process in place. as the highest ranking official in the house, ryan will chair the republican convention. one way or another, he'll take
7:08 am
the stage this summer in cleveland. coming up in the next half hour, we'll take you several hundred feet to the top of the capitol dome. that's what the hard hats were for. paul ryan offered to go base jumping. we didn't but we got a look at the restoration process, now months away from completion. >> peter, i thought the speaker took you up to shout, "i am not running for president." >> he may as well have. >> thank you so much. look forward to that. let's bring in our good friend nicolle wallace. >> good morning. >> how many more times does paul ryan have to say he's not getting in the race, that the nominee should come from the field of candidates who are currently running or have ran, before people believe him? >> he'll say it many times. what he wants hasn't been the point. it's been about what the party nie needs. the truth is, the party needs paul ryan. they need his steady leadership. he's a high-minded leader. focuses on policy and civility.
7:09 am
we are short on that this cycle. >> it's interesting because he has said this many, many times. yet, he calls a news conference to say it again. i assume the message is, one, for the media that likes to speculate about it, but is there another audience? donors, republican party leaders, he was trying to reach, as well? >> it would be an offensive method. i think defensively, he's savvy enough to know you can't get on the wrong side of the base of the republican party. the base is deeply suspicious that the establishment is going to come in and do exactly what paul ryan said he wouldn't do. which is ignore the will of the voters, the outcomes of the primaries. this is the essence of donald trump's message, that there is monkey business going on. your votes don't matter and paul ryan will mess with it. he wants to make sure he has no part in it. >> are we past the point where an outsider could ride into cleveland on a white house and take the nomination? >> the dream is dead. >> will it be one of the three
7:10 am
remaining candidates? >> i think it'll be the one with the most votes. >> from the three? >> i believe so. >> donald trump is complaining about the process. you're a former communications expert. i would think complaining about a process is not a good look for anyone. on the other hand, he's making this point that probably resonates with his voters. what is the deal with the rules? we voted for you. shouldn't that be the end of the story? >> if you look at the back drop of this campaign, it is a cycle about grievances. rigged economy, grievances with an establishment political class that doesn't listen, grievances with the status quo. this gets right to the heart of donald trump's purpose for running, to shake things up. i don't think complaining about rules that are difficult to explain, even to though of us who follow this every day, is a bad idea for donald trump. >> he's turning the corner to new york. new polls show him with massive, 40 or 30-point leads. nicolle wallace, good to see you. >> thank you. surprising new report out this morning on how the fbi
7:11 am
managed to crack into the iphone of one of the san bernardino shooters. paying professional hackers to help. nbc justice correspondent pete williams has more on that. good morning. >> whatever works, savannah. it turns out the worldwide attention to the fbi's court battle with apple was seen in the hacker world as a challenge that was impossible to resist. now, officials say it was an individual who successfully met the challenge. wasn't a big corporation or a government agency that came up with a way to get into a locked iphone left behind by one of the san bernardino attackers. to open farook's phone, officials needed to get around the security fee suatures on th phone. the fbi won't say who it was or how it was done. in fact, the method has been a government secret, bought and paid for. many of the nation's police departments were hoping it could be used to open thousands of locked iphones nationwide that
7:12 am
investigators believe hold important evidence. the fbi says it works on only phones like farook's, older phones with specific software. james comey is saying the fbi is deciding whether or not to tell apple about the idea the individual came up with. it's being discussed by law enforcement agencies. if the fbi tells apple, the company would certainty hack the vulnerability and make it useless in the future. if the fbi opens phones in the criminal cases, the fbi would have to reveal the secret in court. for now, it's a secret to be used in terrorism and intelligence cases. for who it was, that's classified. savannah and willie? >> fascinating to wonder. pete williams, thank you. new developments this morning surrounding north carolina's controversial bathroom bill. the governor signed an executive order tuesday in an attempt to disfuse outrage over the new law. he reinforced a provision that
7:13 am

7:15 am
their lives, she tells nbc news. in my mind, this is justifiable homicide. you assume will smith is a saint, but he's not. >> i'm still in disbelief. >> reporter: when his father learned about his son's death, he read the news on his brother's ipad. >> a father and mother is never supposed to bury their child. >> reporter: yet, he says he can forgive the man police say shot and killed his son. >> will i forget it? i'll never forget it. >> reporter: gabe gutierrez, nbc news, new orleans. developing story this morning. nearly 40,000 verizon workers walking off the work after failing to make any progress on negotiations. their contract expired in august. the workers are members of two unions that represent installers, customer service employees, repairman and other workers. verizon already trained non-union workers to fill in for the striking employees. frighting video from a car wash in dallas. a vacuum cleaner burst into

starbucks reports more than 12 million rewards program members are finding common ground through their belief in star power. >> now, to sweeten the deal, starbucks says you can actually reach gold star status with one purchase for a limited time this month. that is the level you need to reach before you start qualifying for rewards. dunkin donuts is having fun with this. the special code to use for next week to get the extra points in their rewards program, it's stars. clearly, a jab. >> olivia sterns, thank you so much. people are angry about this. i thought they'd have torches and lanterns outside of the starbucks. >> i don't have stars. i need a star. >> i don't have stars. >> i don't go there. >> you don't drink coffee. >> i don't. >> which is the shocking part of the story. you're that energetic with no coffee. >> by law, i'm not allowed to have caffeine. anyway, let's show you. are you ready for warm weather? >> whoo! >> are you ready for warm weather?

we're celebrating fitness this morning with the return of our special series, run for today. it's about inspirational stories about people who run and their motivation, counting down to sunday's more marathon, here in new york. >> erica is here with us this morning. >> we're very excited about it. excited to be back this year and have the return of run for today. if you ask john young, he'll tell you anyone can do what he's done. over the past few years, he's ran 6 marathons, 10 halves, 36 triathlons. what really sets john apart is his perspective. >> get ready to start the great american road race. >> reporter: at any starting line, john young has a unique
8:39 am
view. most of his fellow runners tower head and shoulders above him. >> i don't have a typical marathoners body, and that's fine. >> reporter: john has dwarfism, 4'4". he also has a passion for racing. the triathlete and trophies aborn adorn a desk where he teaches math in a high school. while students know about the dedication to his sport, few know a few years ago, he was far from the athlete he is today. >> it said 195 pounds. i thought the scale was broken. >> he had sleep apnea. he would come home from work and be so tired because he didn't sleep well the night before. he would get down on the floor with owen and play. within minutes, he'd be asleep. >> reporter: john was also at risk for serious heart problems. he began swimming, then biking, then running. >> inspirational john young.
8:40 am
>> reporter: each race proving he could do more. >> does each finish line you cross feel the same? >> i come to the point now when i finish a race, all i'm thinking about is when is the next race? >> reporter: in 2013, he set his sights on the boston marathon. john was a mile from the finish when the bombs went off. >> i could hear sirens. a friend of mine was walking back and said, the race stopped. >> reporter: john was back the following year. at mile ten, he was ill and had to stop. once reunited with his family, john felt he'd let them down. his son, owen, had a different view, and his own lesson to share. >> dad, sometimes you're the hammer. sometimes you're the nail. today, you were the nail. >> today, his goal is to? >> be the hammer. >> reporter: it became john's motto. in 2015, he finished boston just months after his fastest marathon, new york city. where he was one of the first little people to complete the
8:41 am
race. over the years, john's fan base has continued to grow. >> you didn't necessarily set out to be an inspiration, but based on what you're telling me, you are in many ways. what does it do for you personally, emotionally? >> i think when it's people of short stature or physically challenged, it's when i get the most satisfaction out of it. i know what it's like to be laughed at and pointed at when you're different. >> reporter: john took me for a run in the snowy streets of his hometown, salem, massachusetts. >> nothing compared to last winter. >> reporter: with all the ground he's covered, his important mire stones are the ones shared with 13-year-old owen. >> when he watched me finish my first triathlon, he said, dad, did you win? i said, no. he said, why are you so happy? i said, i did my best. it was great and i had fun. >> i probably would have been fussing about how i'm shorter than most other people and usually keep coming in last place. >> what is it about your dad's running that changed that for you? >> it's just helped me realize
8:42 am
that it really doesn't matter what place you come in. just matters if you finish it. >> come on, owen. >> reporter: last august, owen started and finished his first race with his dad. a mile run where he came in ahead of john. >> it was satisfying to see him finish and me come behind him. >> reporter: even in a race, it really is about the journey. >> wow. >> as i mentioned, john is a math teacher. he did a few calculations. by his calculations, the average runner takes 24,000 strides over the course of a marathon. john said he'll take 40,000. >> wow. >> takes the average runner 45 5 hours to finish. he's closer to 6 hours. he's running boston on monday again, which he's excited about. also running the race, model turned activist, burns. natalie caught up with her and will share more on why she runs tomorrow. we'd love to see as many of you
8:43 am
as possible. natalie and i are co-hosting the more shape half once again here in new york city. you can tweet us your story. #run for today. we'll get you out there and moving. >> inspiring story. >> we like seeing a kid pass the old man now. >> that's a big deal. >> erica, thank you. coming up next, robert de niro and jane rosenthal are here to celebrate a big anniversary for the tribeca film the world a president has to grapple with.
8:44 am
sometimes you can't even imagine. that's the job. and she's the one who's proven she can get it done. ...securing a massive reduction in nuclear weapons... ...standing up against the abuse of women... ...protecting social security... ...expanding benefits for the national guard... ...and winning health care for 8 million children... the presidency is the toughest job in the world and she's the one who'll make a real difference for you. i'm hillary clinton and i approved this message.
8:45 am
8:46 am
when you started it, did you imagine it as an ongoing festival or something for that moment in time? >> you'd like to think it would go on and be part of new york, part of the tradition, part of the fabric of the city. it looks, at this point, like it could be. so that's great. we had no idea. we weren't sure with anything. very happy. we're all happy. >> after 15 years, jane, it feels like an institution. it's one of the film festivals that you hear mentioned that's important. it's got to exceed even your wildest hopes back then. >> it certainly has. i'm actually happy that i'm not in an institution because of it. it's been really extraordinary. we're so thrilled that this year, we can kick off with a story about the met gala. we have other films screening at the whitney, about elizabeth and m
8:47 am
mario. as a new york institution, we're bringing in some of the bedrocks of new york. >> we were talking, robert, about how democratized film maker has become. people with an iphone or laptop put together a movie. i know you're doing something with snap chat. you want to explain how that works, step by step. >> we know you're a snapchatter. >> something with a phone can make a film. >> in 2006, we were actually one of the first festivals to screen a film that was made on a nokia phone. it was amazing how it looked like it was projected. it felt like a cinema feel. we've been about pushing the boundaries with technology as long as you tell a good story. technology is great. if you can't tell a good story, forget it. >> there was controversy, headlines at the beginning of this year's festival, when it was announced this film would be
8:48 am
shown. later, the festival pulled it. was it because of the backlash? >> i was shooting a movie, in the middle of a lot of stuff. i think the movie is something that people should see. there was a backlash, which i haven't fully explored, and i will, but -- and i didn't want it to start affecting the festival in ways that i couldn't see. but definitely, there's something to that movie. there is another movie called "trace amounts." these -- there's a lot of information about things that are happening with the cdc, the pharmaceutical companies. there's a lot of things that are not said. i as a parent of a child who has autism am concerned. i want to know the truth. i'm not anti-vaccine. i want safe vaccines. some people can't get a certain type of shot. they can die from it. even penicillin. why should that not be a vaccine? it isn't. >> you went public for the first
8:49 am
time, saying your 18-year-old son had autism. >> yeah. >> that had been private for you. >> yeah. >> you wanted the film shown because of that reason. >> yes. >> everybody doesn't want to seem to hear much about it. it's shut down. you guys are the ones that should be investigating. do the investigating. >> i think the film was controversial because people felt the film maker had been discredited. >> even he, i'm not so sure about. at the end of the day, even him. >> jane? >> one thing, it wasn't -- weren't sponsors or donors that were threatening to pull out of the film festivals. it was our mifilm makers. we're known for having amazing documentary films. look at the lineup. whether it's what we're starting with tonight or other documentaries that are equally controversial that are at the festival. film makers were pulling out. >> i find that amazing.
8:50 am
we're going to talk about that. >> there is another amazing film that was done by roger ross williams that won the audience award at sundance called "life animated," about autism, and it's a beautiful film about this family. >> it's a beautiful film but another thing, the result of. it's not questioning how people -- some people got autism. how the vaccines are dangerous, if not -- dangerous to certain people who are more susceptible. nobody seems to want to address that. or they say they have addressed it and it's a closed issue. doesn't seem to be. many people say, no, i saw my kid change overnight. i saw what happened. i should have done something, and i didn't. there's more to this than meets the eye. believe me. >> is that the experience you had, robert, something changed overnight? >> my wife says that. i don't remember. my child is autistic. every kid is different.
8:51 am
but there is something there. there's something there that people aren't addressing. for me to get so upset here today on the "today" show means there is something there. i want the movie to be seen. people can make their own judgment but you must see it. other films, other things, that also just document and show, you know, it's not a simple thing. >> do you regret pulling it now in some sense? >> part of me does. part of me says, let it go for now and i'll deal with it later in another way. i didn't want the festival to be affected in a way. it was a knee jerk reaction. especially from the film makers, frankly, that i, you know -- >> the other film makers who were in the festival. >> i didn't want to ask. now i will ask. >> robert, it is nearly consensus in the scientistic community there is nolin k th l there. do you believe it's not true? >> i believe it's much more complicated than that. there is a link, and they're saying there isn't.
8:52 am
there are certain things. the obvious one is mercury-based preservative. but there are other things there that i don't know -- i'm not a scientist -- but i've seen so much reaction about just -- let's just find out the truth. i'm not, you know -- i'm not anti-vaccine, as i say, but i'm pro-safe vaccines. there are some people who cannot take a vaccine, and they have to be found out and warned. you just don't give a kid a bunch of shots and then something happens to them. some parents, even in the documentary, they say, i knew i shouldn't have done it. i talked to the doctor. he's a doctor, and i should listen. i did it. the next day, you know. can you imagine how the parent feels? >> the worry is that people who hear those words and wonder about it will not have their child vac nate cinated, which l mumps and measles.
8:53 am
>> i don't know the statistics. there is the knee jerk reaction. let's see. as i say, everyone should have the choice to take vaccines. some places, it's mandatory. but it benefits the big drug companies. >> if you want to look at facts and statistics, one of the things you need to look at in this movie is the continue dictions -- contradictions. what's stated, what arises, what the graph is, and then people saying something different. you need to read the reviews of that movie, make your own decision. clearly, the festival has about a hundred other movies that are in the festival. this was only going to be screened once. they've certainly had their voice and their time, and there is amazing films about other issues of social impact. whether it is the criminal justice system. amazing film called "the return." another film about her babal li.
8:54 am
drone warfare. "national bird" asks questions about how we go to war. certainly, the festival is about having conversation and it's also some fun films, too. "family fang" with jason bateman and nicole kidman. >> highlighted by the 40-year anniversary of "taxi driver." >> i'm interested to go and meet everybody who was in it. marty and joe y. >> it'll be a cast reunion. >> thank you so much. >> congratulations. >> appreciate it. back in a moment. this i "today" on s in tnbhe last eight years, the fracking industry has spent over $40 million dollars on lobbying in pennsylvania. so it's no surprise that even though they've had over 4,000 violations, all they've ever gotten is just a slap on the wrist it's time for that change.
