we'll talk more about that later on. but we have a very busy thursday morning. let's start with the breaking news overnight from the berkeley campus. demonstrators causing havoc while shutting down a planned speech by an editor from conservative breitbart website and some proclaimed internet troll. miguel almaguer has the latest. >> reporter: this speeching engage wmt the polarizing breitbart editor had been planned for quite some time. police had anticipated the crowd and the protest, but before this event could even begin, it was shut down because of a fiery clash. the protest quickly turned violent. demonstrators set fire, mas smashed windows, and destroyed property at uc, berkeley. anticipating trouble, police appeared to use flash bangs and pepper spray to clear the surging crowd of 1,500. all of uc, berkeley, locked down, students sheltering in place as protesters moved downtown. there were brawls in the street.

the chaos on campus began before milo yanopoulosu was set to speak at cal. the controversial ed dor from breitbart news. >> i happen to believe hate crimes aren't really a thing. >> reporter: steve bannon previously headed breitbart news. many of the protesters also voicing their opposition to the republican president. >> reporter: invited by the student republican party, he released this video after the violence. >> even the things they said about me were true, it still wouldn't be an appropriate response. >> reporter: banned from twitter, he's been called the leading member of the alt-right movement and di nighs he's part of the growing group of quite

nationalists. last week a man was shot at the university of washington as demonstrators gathered outside one of his speeches and at uc, davis, a clash between police and protesters forced school officials there to cancel yet another speaking engagement. now it's happened again. this time had the very university where the free speech movement was born. the president is also watching the protesting tweeting, if uc berkeley, does not allow free speech, no federal funds. the college republicans at cal say, quote, the free speech movement is dead, adding the constitutional right to free speech was psilenced by criminas and thugs. matt and hoda, back to you. >> miguel, thanks very much. speaking of the president, he is sending strong signals that his administration has a very different approach toward foreign policy. this after the president's new national security advisor says the u.s. is putting iran on

notice. nbc's andrea mitchell has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the trump white house's blunt warning putting raup on notice and promising to told tehran accountable, signalling a dramatic escalation from the obama administration's position. the president tweeting this morning, iran has been put on notice for firing a ballistic missile. should have been thankful for the terrible deal the u.s. made with them. the administration's first foreign policy crisis, iran. a challenge today for the new secretary of state, rex tillerson, sworn in wednesday night with this caution from his boss, president trump. >> our nation needs to foster stability and security in a world too often trapped and right now it's trapped in violence and in war. >> reporter: tillerson confirmed by a closer vote than ever before for the nation's top diplomat. >> the yays are 56, the nays are 43. >> reporter: even as national security advisor michael flynn

was issuing a stern warning to tehran. >> we are officially putting iran on notice. >> reporter: promising to hold iran accountableable for testing a ballistic missile sunday and threatening u.s. and allied ships at sea. white house officials say nothing is off the table, not economic sanctions or even military actions and president trump tweeting late wednesday, iran is rapidly taking over more and more of iraq even after the u.s. has squandered $3 trillion there. obviously long ago. this is defense secretary james mat this in south korea this morning dealing with north korea's claims it has a long-range missile capable of carrying a nuclear weapon that could reach the continental united states. on still another front, new fighting in ukraine could become an early test of president trump's relations with vladimir putin and the "washington post" is reporting that president trump had a testy call with australian prime minister malcolm turnbull, that country long one of america's strongest military allies. mr. trump accusing him of trying

to send the u.s. the next boston bomber, referring to an agreement to send 1,250 refugees here. mr. trump hanging up after just 25 minutes according to "the washington post" and tweeting wednesday night, do you believe it? the obama administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from australia. why? i will study this dumb deal. overnight the australian prime minister tried to downplay the dispute. >> the report that the president hung up is not correct. the call ended courteously. and as far as the nature of the discussion, it was very frank and forthright. i stand up for australia's interests. i make australia's case as powerfully and persuasively as i can wherever i am. >> reporter: all this as the president and daughter ivanka flew to delaware to receive the remains of a navy s.e.a.l., william ryan owenss, killed in a special forces raid in yemen, the first service member killed in action on the president's watch. >> just returned from an amazing visit with a great, great family

at dover, and it was something very sad, very beautiful. ryan, a great man. >> reporter: a lot of headaches for the new secretary of state as he takes over today. the nation's diplomats hoping that rex tillerson will calm the waters after their unprecedented dissent against president trump's controversial immigration orders. hoda and matt? >> all right. andrea mitchell. thank you so much. nbc news national security analyst jeremy baxter, chief of staff at both the cia and the defense department. jeremy, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. >> i want to start with this statement by michael flynn where he says we are officially putting iran on notice. it sounds like that should be the first sentence in a statement and you go on from there to explain exactly what you mean. instead, it was the last sentence and he leaves it hanging. what does that mean to you? more importantly, what will it mean to iran? >> well, matt, it's not subtle at all.

i think this was an open-ended threat. it means we're going to take a tougher line against the iranians and probably that means increasing our military force presence there, increasing our naval presence, conducting special operations activities against iranian forces and maybe even conducting direct military action when there's a scrape between iranian assets in the gulf and our own naval ships. >> it sounds like the comment was meant to put iran in a box or in a corner and if they continue bad behavior there will be consequences. but by the very statement, don't they put the trump administration in a box as well? they have to take some kind of action. >> well, that's right, and though this isn't exactly a red line, it's sort of a pink dotted line. it's an assertion that we are going to act what's in question this morning, matt, is whether we talk to any of our european allies. because before we go out and start talks about sanctions, for them to be effective we need other countries with us. we also want other countries

with us if we're taking military action to constrain iran in the region. this will be welcomed in israel's capital and saudi arabia and the emirates. the question is whakt our other allies in the region and in europe. >> during the campaign, then candidate trump was very critical of the iran nuclear deal reached with the obama administration. could this also be a first step in the trump administration attempts to dismanhattan that will agreement? >> both of the president's statements through twitter this morning noted the iran deal was a terrible deal or a bad deal. i think they're looking for a reason to pull out of that. but keep your eye on yemen, matt, because that's where american special operations forces are operating, and there are iranian-back proed proxies there, iranian-backed force, and that's where if we're going to get into a scrape or military confrontation, it's going to happen in yemen or the waters around yemen. >>iermy bash, good to get your perspective. thank you. now to the growing fight

over one of the president's cabinet picks this morning, the nomination of betsy devos kwoub in peril with two republicans saying they will vote against her. nbc's hallie jackson is at the white house with this story. hey, hallie. >> reporter: hey, there, hoda. good morning to you. president trump will be at a national prayer breakfast here in washington before another busy day at the white house and as you mentioned another busy day on capitol hill. that is where political math is becoming increasingly important with razor-thin margins on key votes. now that pair of republicans breaking with their party is complicating for the administration their political calculus. confirmation in the crosshairs with betsy devos' nomination as secretary of education now in real jeopardy. two republican senators, susan collins and lisa murkowski, saying they'll vote against her. >> i was trying to get to yes pip couldn't. >> reporter: both citing concerns about what the michigan billionaire does and doesn't

know about public education. >> i think mrs. devos has much to learn about our nation's public schools. >> reporter: tomorrow devos faces a sole senate vote with exactly 50 votes in her favor right now. if it stays that way, and no other republicans defect, it sets up something that's never happened before. the vice president casting a tie-breaking vote on a cabinet confirmation. mike pence on capitol hill for a different reason, girding for a fight while making the rounds of president trump's new supreme court nominee, judge neil gorsuch. the administration arguing if democrats try to block the nomination, mitch mcconnell should trig ter nuclear option, in other words, changing senate rules to let republicans confirm gorsuch with a simple majority of 51 votes instead of the 60 votes they'd normally leave. >> if we end up with that gridlock, i would say, if you can, mitch, go nuclear, because that would be an absolute shame

if a man of this quality was caught up in the web. >> reporter: mcconnell, after his first meeting with gorsuch, pointing out the senate confirmed him unanimously back in 2006. >> not a single one of the democrats who still serve with us opposed him including the ranking member of the judiciary committee, senator feinstein, and the democratic leader himself, senator schumer. >> reporter: senator schumer now blasting gorsuch's record. >> i have very serious doubts that judge neil gorsuch is up to the job. >> reporter: he's warning republicans, don't trigger that nuclear option. >> if this nominee cannot meet the same standard that republicans insisted upon for president obama's supreme court nominees, 60 votes in the senate, then the problem lies not with the senate but with the nominee. >> reporter: on the other end of pennsylvania avenue, the president kicking off black history month at the white house, praised by african-american supporters but raising eyebrows by describing

19th century abolitionist frederick douglass in the present tense. >> frederick douglass is an example of somebody wh's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, i notice. >> reporter: there's a dom though effect on capitol hill to what's happening there with the confirmation votes for jeff sessions to become the next attorney general on hold. why? that is because republicans need sessions' vote as senator to help get betsy devos through. matt, hoda? >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. mark is here with some analysis. >> good morning. >> rex tillerson was sworn in, so that's the good news. the democrats are holding up some votes and there is some question about betsy devos. read the tea leaves for us. do you think she will get confirmed? >> well, they've got no margin of error as hallie said, 50 votes with the vice president there to break the tie. the white house is confidence they'll keep the rest of the

republican senators. most presidents lose at least one nominee. if president trump gets her through, he'll probably get everybody through. that would be unusual, but she can't afford to lose another republican senator. >> let's talk about neil gorsuch. chuck schumer said do not change the rules in the senate. this guy needs 60 votes one way or another. is he going to get 60 votes anyway? are enough democrats going to cross over the make that nuclear option a moot point? >> it hangs in the balance. from berkeley to the beltway, this country is divided, and the intense pressure on every democrat ick senator, even ones up iffer re-election in two years, is going to be do not give him 60 votes, do not let the filibuster be broken. >> you think we're headed to the nuclear option. >> that's on the razor's edge too. if mitch mcconnell can avoid changing the senate rules and get 60 points, this game's not over yet. right now i don't think he'll get to 60. can donald trump and other outside groups put pressure on democratic senators in

conservative states to vote for him? >> mark, it was interesting. with cameras rolling trump said to mitch mcconnell, basically, don't hesitate to go nuclear. what does that say for how everyone's going to be getting along? >> it says donald trump is governing as a republican president, not an independent. if he does a scorecard of his first few weeks in office and says am i living up to my goal and my promise to unite the country? right now he is not. he is in the barricades with mitch mcconnell and other republicans on the confirmation fights. he's got a whole agenda sprt from getting people confirmed trying to appeal to democrats. that will be tougher to do the longer it goes on. >> off special coming up friday night. you were covering this campaign for the last 18 months. what you're doing now i think is fascinating. you've slowed the pace and you get the benefit of hindsight to look back at the race as a whole. how has it changed your opinion of what happened?

>> it covers the whole campaign and will remind you of familiar events but a lot of stuff people haven't seen. the biggest thing is listening to the voters. i went to so many trump rallies. you'll see trump voters talking in this film from all over the country. they knew he was going to win, and more importantly in listening to them, i didn't pick it up at the time, they knew why. they understood his appeal better than the pundits and explain why this is why the people will vote for donald trump. >> tomorrow night it airs on show time. thank you very much. breaking overnight, authorities negotiating the release of tw staffers after delaware prison inmates took four corrections department workers hostage. two employees have been released by the inmates. the hostage-takers say they are upset with donald trump's leadership as well as education and rehabilitation ssmss at the prison. negotiators are communicating with inmates via two-way radio. all prisons in the state were

from building c are where all of the activity is, and then this morning, we saw this activity as soon as it got light, we could get a much better view of, this and we had all of the inmates about four dozen inmates lying in handcuffs on their stomachs and moved to another building. katy zachary that has been on scene live all morning. and what are you learning? >> tracy, i can tell you that i just spoke to several workers who worked here at the james t. vaughan correctional center here in smyrna. they came here to the building we are at right now, and came to work dressed for work but when they got here, they were told they were not working and when they left they had little to say except that they were not working today that is the first indication that something was not right. obviously, things were not according to plan for the campus here if you will for the james t. vaughan correctional center.

as soon as we got the information, so you did you, tr tracy, that delaware state police shortly after 5:00 a.m. went into building c and a woman was found safely and rescued from the building and being examined at a local hospital, and we have staff efforting to talk to her heading to one of the local hospitals mou the try to reach her. unfortunate i will the remaining hostage, also a department of correction corrections employee found unresponsive in building c and was pronounceded dead by state police personnel at 5:30. we are waiting for the official word and this is breaking news and there is a press conference scheduled for 10:30, and we have a crew headed for that and that is taking place in glasgow, delaware, and as soon as we have more information, we will break

in to get it to you. >> and we know that you are getting information as we are, tracy, but the latest release from the correctioning department says that they are op atriaing under emergency procedures, but we don't know, but with know that the building is is secure, but not status of everything on the facility is right now, right? >> i dont n't know if we lost k or if she could hear me, because she is trying to get new inf information live on the scene there, but if you are just joining us, again, we have learned that a corrections officer has died in the hostage standoff at the prison in smyrna, delaware. building c is secure, and this is the latest information from the krk shuns department has said and building c is secure where the state police went in and breached the building and one hostage is being checked out at the hospital, and another found dead. the facility is operating under mej si procedures and we will try to find the out what that

means. katy, do you know anything about that? >> well, tracy, what i was saying to your question is that, as i was speaking to a relative working here at the correctional center, that person is headed in for her work, and i'm told that she is going to be interviewing the dozens of inmates who were part of this who were just re really caught in the middle of this this, and caught in the last 24 hour sh, and some peopl are reporting here toer carry out their work, but in terms of what is going on behind this building, and behind the secure perm e ter that is the james vaughan correctional center, we don't know details of that, and we are efforting the information to find out in terms of the they are still in lockdown status, and just how the operations are moving ahead, today. >> katy, we appreciate that information. one prison employee dead at the

the prison in smyrna, e delaware. we will continue efforts to contact the awe authorities and get more information on this, and we have a teamf of reporters down there, and photographers who are giving us as many det l details as they can. >> katy is going to try to talk to some employees and we have sky 10 over to the facility. they were lining up the inmates and lying on their stomach and being transferred one by one to another building which is the time we learned that the corrections department at # 5:00, the delaware state police breach breached that building. they went in and found one of the hostage, and again, the two hostages had been held since 10:30 and one of the hostages safely rescued her and she is being checked out of the local hospital, and says that specifically, she is alert and talking but the other officer found dead. katy, new information?

>> tracy, just a few minutes ago, i talked to someone who is driving up fromle baltimore, and she is planning a protest right in the area where we are standing, a little bit closerer to the prison, and it is a protest in support of the inmates who are here at the vaughan correctional center. as far as we know that protest is still going on. so i just wanted to offer that to you for a little color, to create a lot of activity here. quite frankly some kchaos while state department and the correctional facilities are in the process of investigating what happened and in the lockdown situation, and they could have potentially dozens of people protesting outside of the prison perimeter which is scheduled to happen in two hours. tracy. >> and we are also expecting to get more information on the situation down there with a

press conference scheduled at 10:30 this morning. officials will update us, and tell us what happened and details about how this all happened and how things broke out as they did. >> and to reinforce the point that we still don't know, but we know that building c is secured, but we don't know the status of the entire facility, because it is a large facility, which we could see from sky force 10 which we launched today, and moving the inmates away from the acti activity started. this happened about 22 hours ago, 10:30 yesterday afternoon when four employees of the department of corrections were taken hostage by the inmates there. >> yes, and after a few hours, two of the hostages were released. they kept two overnight, and this is a tense situation moving throughout the evening, and a lot of police and personnel were summoned to the prison. you can see the guards, there and it is all hands on deck

situation, and this morning, as it was geting light, they had about four dozen prisoners i would say on their stomachs and handcuffed behind their back, and then they were escorting one at a turnlgs and maybe four people that we saw from the camera ares being escorted into the building away from the group of about four dozen prisoners. this isser early this morn, and this is when the video was shot from sky force 10 and been out there from 5:00 or 6:00 a.m. >> and sadly, if you are just joining us, we have learned that one of the department of corrections officers was killed and is dead in this hostage situation which takes me back to the union representative who we heard this morning talking about all of the demands of the

hostage takers of the inmates saying that our goal right now is to make sure that the two officers get home to their family safe, a aband now we have learned that as of 5:30 this morning, this one officer is pronounced dead. >> some the demands, they wanted more education opportunities. they wanted better situation for rehabilitation for themselves. but as the person that we heard from the union said, none of that would happen until they got the two people home safe ly. sadly, at 5:30, one of the prison officials was killed. but again according to the union person that we heard from earlier, they never wanted to ne goeb yat any terms until those two people got back to the their families. one of them will not be coming back to the their family. >> if you are just joining us, we want to rereset and tell you what is happen iing. here is the headline and information that we got on in the last 10 minutes. one prison employee is dead at

the prison hostage situation in smyrna, delaware. this is how it began 10 k34r07b yesterday, and inmates take fourlem ploy e yees of the department of corrections in building c in this sprawling building in smyrna, delaware. over the course of the day, two of the employees were released and then overnight, two more, the other two were continually held. then we just got this information from the corrections department that at 5:00 this morning, delaware state police bree breached and went into the c-building and rescued wub hostage, and she is being checked out at the hospital, and as vai said, the other department of corrections employee pronounced dead at 5:30. and matt has been at the prison all morning long, and what can you tell us, matt? >> well sh, tracy, a vantage po here of where we are at the ipad here, we are at this building,

and you can see the building and the complex here, and it is a large complex here. >> obviously, having trouble with matt. go ahead. >> in the meantime, a statement here from the delaware governor carney about the fallen correctional officer, and and excerpt about it. i am prag haying hard for the fn off se, and this is a reminder that in the officers risk their lives everyday in delaware and we will stand behind the family in what is an extremely difficult time. that is from the delaware governor carney. >> we don't obviously have any identification for the officer right now. again, pronounced dead at 5:30 this morning. i will continue on with what you were reading vai, from, delaware governor john carney. this is a long and agonizing situation, and i want to thank all of those responding including the department of

corrections and the delaware state police and ow federal partners. the priority is find out what happened, how this happened, and we will hold accountable anybody responsible and make whatever changes are necessary to make sure that nothing like this happens again. that is a state up from the d delaware governor john carney who did meet with the hostage family members yesterday. now, he has just put out the statement about the fallen correctional officer. >> as you canp appreciate if you are at at home watching these events unfolding, the information in these situations are scant and they trickle in and we are tying to get you the information that we have when it is confirmed. so we don't get anything wrong. and as this unfolds throughout the day, this happened and we first learned of it at 10:30 yesterday morning, but maybe it started earlier than that, and certa certainly there may have been some planning, and those kinds of things, but at 10:30 yesterday afternoon is when we

learned that they had taken four house tajs initially and two of them were released and they held two of night as we are learning this morning, and one of those who was held hostages and one of the two held mos taj is not going to be coming home to their f families. >> we heard over the course of the day and night last night, we heard of the phone callsing being made from insooide of the prison to delaware online to give us an idea of what is happening inside and the prisoner's demands. matt delucia and again, we will try the go back to him. matt, continue on. >> yeah, it is a busy situation over here in the parking lot, but what i can tell you is from our vantage point the prison is just bekwond where we are right now sh now, and you can see some warehouses and what have you, and the prison, facility, itself, is right beyond that. the parking lot where we are is filled with the media, and of course, the folks who work at

the facility have been coming to work, and one of the things that that we had found out from that latest release and update from the delaware department of correcti corrections is that the prison is still operating under emergency procedures. so that is still ongoing at this point even though the hostage situation has ended. as we saw earlier in the morning, with the helicopter video, sky force 10 was over the area where you can see some the inmates were lying on the ground. as of early this morning the count that we had were 82 inmates that were still in that building where everything was happening in the hostage situation. 82 inmates still in the building and gradualliy lsome of the inmates were let out. we heard that 14 inmates were let out. of course, that came after two of the four hostages, the department of corrections workers were released. so originally had four of the

hostages in terms of the department of corrections staff membe member, and two were released and one of them treated at the hospital. the other two were still here in the building c until early this morning. the release and the update that we got said that the department of corrections workers and the state police breached that build building at 5:06 this morning. so just after 5:00 this morning, they want into the building, and that is when they discovered the two employees, one who they rescued and from what we gather, she is alert and talking at the hospital. the other employee, he was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at 5:30 this morning. so this is an unfortunate end, and what i can tell you is that we were out here all morning and my crew and i got here at 3:30 and around 4:30 or 5:00, around that time when they were talking about how they breached that

building c, we did see some activity from the aerial camera on top of the truck, we were able to see and zoom in. we saw the vans moving around in what looked like an ambulance. and again, we are pretty far away, and so it is hard to tell for certain what vehicles were looking at, but it was a convoy of six or seven vehicles moving around that area around a roadway. so there was activity. we did see a helicopter that was landing and taking off in this area as well. again this all happening at 5:00 to 6:00 time frame. this is all going on and now the update, that is at the point when the state police went into that building to the i try re to

rescue the two hostages. >> that makes sense that 5:00 to 6:00 hour that we were on the air with matt and katy and we saw i sky force 10 pictures and video and from the live camera that all of that was happening that matt described. >> we are waiting the get more information and pieced together. we are expecting a news conference at 10:30, but we did just get this released from the governor john carney about what is he saying. i am praying hard for the fallen officer's family. this serves as tragic reminder that the members of the law enforcement risk their lives everyday on behalf of the people of delaware. we will stand by the officer's family at what is a difficult time. >> this is a long and agonizing situation. i want to thank all of those involve involved in responding, including the department of correction, the delaware state police, and the federal partners and our priority now is to

determine how this happened. and we will hold accountable anyone who is responsible and make necessary changes to ensure that nothing like this happens ever again. we are sure that a full investigation will commence into the passing of this person's death. we should expect that to happen immediately. >> we have live team coverage por you, and we have reporters at the scene at the prison in smyrna, but again to review for you what has happened, we have been following the hostage situation in smyrna since 10:00 a.m., and we have learned in the last half hour that one department of corrections off sr. was killed and found dead when state police went in and they breached building c where the hostage situation had been happening, and they went in to find one of the two remaining hostages, and she was fine and

alert, and taken to the area hospital to get checked out. but the other corrections officer was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at 5:30. >> you are look agent video from earlier this morning as it is light out, and you can see the officers there and en masse to take some tof the are prisoners one and sometimes two at a time away from the others, and perhaps isolated. maybe they are getting information. but clearly at this point, they had already known after they had breached the building c that one of the hostages was killed, and the other as you said, tracy, taken to an area hospital to be checked out and hopefully she is okay. >> we sbrp talking about the inmates demands and that they have been calling a local publication, and they were saying that they were talking about a need to access to

rehabilitation, and the access to education, and knee gosch yayer or thes had been talking with them throughout the whole ordeal to i try to make it to a peaceful end, and now we have learned within the last half hour that the department of corrections members have been killed and we don't have the identit identity, and we are waiting for state corrections officer and governor coming up at 10:30. >> also, we want to get a check on the weather and find out how things are going, and check in with bill henley, and the most accurate forecast in the area. bill. >> i have an update for you, and we have clouds moving through lehigh valley. and a few snowflakes with this line moving from reading into lehigh county and easton as well. most of it is very light, and not even reaching the ground. you could see a few snowflakes and up in upper bucks county, and the breaks in the clouds, too, and we will see some sunshine today, and the temperatures have been climbing

trilogy. and 2014's john wick, unlike the new character, a former hitman who comes out of retirement to avenge the death of his daughter. he is back with "john wick: chapter 2." take a look. >> your descent into hell begins here, wick. earl will guide you. do be careful on your way down. oh, and remember, you owe me. >> you don't want me owing ow. . >> fans of "matrix," i think their heads explode seeing you and laurence fishburne together. >> yeah. >> how are you? foo good morning. >> good morning. whose idea was that to have that reunion? >> the director's, chad's. laurence and i became friends after the trilogy so a couple times a year we get together, check in, talk about life. he was saying he really enjoyed the first john wick and i was like, that's cool, would you be interested? and he was like, hmm.

then i told chad. chad sent laurence a script. laurence said, i like it. >> how did he say it? >> i like it. >> the way he says things. >> yeah. and then it was great to have the chance to work with him again. >> so john wick was a cult favorite and it kind of exploded into this hit. did you think that there would ever be a john wick 2 that we'd be sitting here talking about this? >> when i was working on the first i didn't know. i hoped. i really loved the character and so i'm grateful to have the chance to keep telling that story. >> there are some insane action scenes we were watching them on the screenplay out right now. >> yeah. >> you do a lot of doing those fishtails in the car. you are so quick on the trigger with the gun. >> yeah. >> there must have been some crazy training i can only imagine because it can't p easy to shoot that quick. >> no. practice makes perfect. i had some great teachers with the driving, with the gun work. >> we're looking at some video

of that. >> that's terence butler, a three-gun champion. so the director wanted me to do some live fire because there's nothing like live fire to kind of get it into your body. >> yeah. when the director yelled action, you had to pop up and just shoot real quick like that? >> yeah. well, i've got a couple things. i mean, john wick is on point, he's on target, ready to go. but he also kind of gets beat up. there's a lot of people after him. he's fighting for his life. so, yeah. >> in the first john wick some thugs who were part of a bigger gang kill your dog and you are clearly judgment set. >> yeah. >> how does the sequel come to be? >> john is -- he still wants to retire. he wants to -- you know, his wife has passed away. he wants to grieve. he wants to heal. he wants to remember. but, you know, someone comes from his past and comes to collect on a debt, and john wick doesn't really want to do that. he doesn't want to kind of, you know, do whatever he has to do, but he ends up doing that. so it's really about kind of

dealing with your past and trying to live -- you know, john is just trying to be free. yeah. >> i was reading your wikipedia page and reading about how you traveled a lot when you were a little kid and how high school really wasn't for you. i'm sitting here sitting across from you and i'm watching this guy who succeeded wildly. if you were speaking to some high school kids -- >> little ones! >> feel like, you know, maybe how you felt, what would you say to them to encourage them, do you think? >> gosh. >> how would you do that? >> that's kind of -- i mean -- >> what did you do? >> i mean, i didn't have a traditional path. i went to four different high schools. >> yeah. >> i mean, i guess i would say through that, i mean, i was lucky because i knew as a young person what i wanted to do. >> you knew. >> i was 15 and i wanted to become an actor and so i started to study and do all of the things that i needed to do to try and achieve that. >> yeah. >> so for a young person, you

back, 8:39 with cautionary advice for every parent from dr. phil. >> for today's ep society of "the dr. phil show," he interviews a 15-year-old girl who became involved with a man more than twice her age and then disappeared with him. all without her parents not knowing.

>> dr. phil, good morning. good to see you. good morning. >> this is so scary, all right? let's give the facts here. 15-year-old kayla found unharmed after a week. there was an amber alert issued for her. find out that she was involved with her friend's father, who was 37 years old. how did this relationship start? >> well, the mother met -- this was a friend of her father, and the mother met the father, who came over and said, you know, can she come and spend the night with my daughter. so the parents talked and mom felt like everything's okay. what she didn't know is he was grooming the daughter and very early on seduced her, started having his way with her. she spent six months in a relationship with him, sleeping in his bed when mom thought she was spending the night with this 14-, 13-year-old daughter. and finally he says, if you don't run away with me, i'm going to kill myself.

so emotional extortion, gets her to go out the bedroom window in the middle of the night and they're gone. >> did the mom miss signs or was he just so good there was no way to know? >> mom is well intentioned but naive about this whole thing. that's one of the things i'm going to talk about in the parenting points. we've got to really know who we're exposing our kids to. we've got to really know, not just pile high on the porch. who are these people? >> i have a 15-year-old, 13-year-old, 10-year-old. strategies for parents. you hear people say this all the time, phil, i'm best friends with my daughter, best friends with my son. you stress the point you're not best friends. you're their parents. >> exactly. a parent is a noun and a verb. you start to parent and your job is to see around corners that they can't see around. their brains are not through growing until they're 25. it's your job to see the problems and keep them out of the ditch. and you can't do that by being their buddy, their pal, their best friend. >> often parents -- like you

were just saying about the porch, you give parent the benefit of the doubt. you say he or she seems nice enough. >> it sounds cynical but i say it's ridiculous to give anybody the benefit of the doubt. why would you do that? particularly when it's your child. why would you just give somebody the benefit of the doubt? neither should you decide they're bad people. gather relevant data and until you have enough to entrust your child to this person, i don't care if it's a teacher, coach, sunday schoolteacher, parent of a friend, whoever, until you have the data, don't entrust your child to them. >> you also have to speak to your kids not only about the little insignificant things that happen during their day at school and things, you have to sit down and talk about things that truly matter, even if they sound scary. >> that's right. i say you should talk to your children about things that don't matter so you can be prepared to talk to them about things when they do matter. get the child to be used to talking to you. and you can't judge. the first time they tell you something you don't like, you're

grounded for life, they're not going to tell you things. you have to listen and not judge and then talk about some alternatives. >> you have to trust your kids, but you offer this -- surprise them. >> oh. >> what does that mean? >> look, you trust your child to be a child. you're not invading your child's privacy if you're looking in their social media accounts. and when they say they're spending the night is somewhere, show up and see if they're there. find out if they're doing what they're saying they're going to do on a random basis. >> you just mentioned something in passing. years ago it used to be if you were to find your kids' journal on the bed would you pick it up and read it? now it's all about social media. it's all about digital devices. you're a fan of saying every once in a while, grab that device and go for a look? >> you bet. and get yourself in the chat rooms where they're going. get a screen name. get in the chat rooms. see what they're saying, who they're talking to. there are predators among us, and they are in those chat rooms. they are online.

there are bullies on line, there are predators online. and it's nooefr late. we have to reparent our children. it's not too late. start right now. that's why kayla comes on the show today. she really realized she made a bad mistake. this is a cautionary tale. it is chilling. >> will you come live at my house? >> i've got mine raised. you never finish but i've got gem at least out the door. >> you can catch "the dr. phil show" today. check your local listings. >> up next, five foods to better manage your blood pressure. first, this is "today" on nbc.

8:46. we're back with our special series "joy's healthy heart," marking american heart month. 75 million americans have high blood pressure. there are certain foods you can actually eat to help you manage it. today nutritionist joy bauer is here with her top five. joy, good morning. >> good morning, matt. >> nice to see you. before we get to the food, what

exactly defines high blood pressure? >> imagine this. our blood carries oxygen and nutrients throughout our body using a network of these tiny little vessels. they're like small tubes. as the blood travels, it exerts pressure on the vessel walls. that's known as blood pressure. if the pressure gets intense, it's high blood pressure. so i'm going to show you a quick illustration. this top one is a normal, healthy blood vessel. smooth sailing. >> traffic moving well on the highway. >> absolutely. this vessel demonstrates high blood pressure, and you can see it's clearly distressed. there's plaque within the walls so, it's a narrowed space, and also the walls are having a hard time. they're hardened and contracting but exerting a lot of energy. the other thing is if this guy or gal who owns this vessel takes in a lot of salt, salt draws in water, increases the volume which will then increase the blood pressure even further. >> diet, exercise, all good things. talk about some of the foods

that actually help you manage your blood pressure. the first one people are going to like the sound of. >> cocoa powder. so everybody seems to know the virtues of dark chocolate. but the real healing is the cocoa powder that's within the dark chocolate because that's where all of the flavonols are housed, and that's what helps to keep our blood vessels healthy and elastic. what i'm telling people is to pick up some cocoa powder. you can put it in smoothies or oatmeal. you can put a lit until your morning coffee. it's delicious. healthy for your blood vessels. >> i was a weird kid. i loved spinach from another young age. >> it's a triple threat. it has potassium, magnesium and foe late. poe as the yum is sort of the anti-sodium oom oop. i said sodium draws in water. potassium flushes it out and flushes the sodium out. instead of lettuce on a sandwich, put spinach leaves. off simmering pot of soup on the stove or marinara sauce? dump the spinach leaves in and

stir it around. extra yummy. >> great idea. garlic, does it have to be raw garlic? >> no. it can be powder. it can be minced garlic, roasted garlic. garlic has the two active ingredie ingredients. one keeps the lining of the cells healthy. there's an active ingredient that acts like an a.c.e. inhibitor, a prescription medicati medication, but no side effect. roasting garlic is delicious and super easy. >> if i've heard hoda say it once, i've heard her say it a thousand times, beans, beans, good for your heart. >> that too. all greens are great for your heart because they have protein and they have fiber and they have potassium and magnesium. but i am featuring white beans as the superhero here because they have the added benefit of calcium. and calcium helps our blood vessels to contract and die late. what i do here, this is a little trick, i make a soup and instead of using cream to thicken it up, i put in a can of quite beans, i

puree it, and it's delicious. >> makes a great dip for veggies. and pumpkin, why? >> pumpkin is loaded with toe pass y potassium. you can take canned pumpkin puree available year round. it's a great replacement for oil in baked goods and it's one-to-one ratio. this recipe is on the website. little brownie with cocoa. >> five great ingredients for managing your blood pressure. thank you so much. for these recipes and more, check out our website, today.com. up next, recipes for katie lee's ultimate super bowl spread. the reverse of what we're doing right now. what do doctors from leading cancer centers

on a paper towel to drain. you can do this all in one pan. >> do you have to worry about overcooking or by the time you add the sauce it will be moist no matter what? >> it will be really moist. in the same pan, green peppers and onions. keep them until they get tender, about five or six minutes. i have some down here. now we're going to build this by putting in -- >> talk to me about the spices here. >> so we've got garlic, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper, and celery seed. the celery seed adds an interesting flavor to it. put those in. grab that beef and we'll put that in here too. >> okay. said i wasn't going to do this. >> you've got to work a little bit. >> there you go. >> apple cider vinegar. worchester sauce. stir that for me. >> all right. >> then some tomato sauce and dijon mustard. want to scrape that in there? >> how long does this cook down? >> a lot of flavor. we've got walter to help it stay moist. this cooks for about 20 minutes. it's really fast.

ever had. >> thank you. great. >> i want it on a baguette. >> we love it on soft buns. >> don't make fun of me. don't make fun of me. i like crunch. i like textures. >> tell me about this. >> asparagus, chop it up, put it into a food processor. the key is to puree this first. so you put it in there and pulse it up. and then add to it some avocado. >> what are the proportions? you doing equal parts? >> a half a pound of asparagus to one avocado. and lime juice. ka d avocado is good fat but it adds up when you eat a lot of it, and i eat a lot of it. put that is all in there, make it nice and pureed. comes out to this. add tomatoetomatoes, cilantro a onion. will you put a little salt in there for me? and just stir it up and you have a great guacamole there. super yummy. >> serving that with chips here. that sloppy joe is good on

...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com.
