for more suspects and those weapons. pressure? what pressure? an 11-year-old boy tests a new golf course designed by tiger woods in the most perfect way possible. and even tiger is in awe. today, thursday, march 3, 2016. from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1 a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning everybody and welcome to "today." >> a lot going on in politics. if you are a certain front runner on the gop side you are getting a lot of attention today and a lot is negative. >> our top story is about mitt romney set to launch an all out assault on donald trump. the 2012 republican presidential

the current front runner. we will talk about that with donald trump live in a moment. let's start with peter alexander in salt lake this morning. >> reporter: we just got our hands on excerpts from that speech and it is a harsh and blistering attack on donald trump and hillary clinton. it is clear that mitt romney didn't think twitter was enough to say this. he will call trump a phony and a fraud and will threaten america's future. harsh words romney slams donald trump writing here is what i know. donald trump is a phony, a fraud. his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. he gets a free ride to the white house and all we get is a lousy hat. the former governor and 2012

adding his domestic policies would lead to recession. he has neither the temperament nor judgment to be president and his personal qualities would mean that america would cease to be a signing city on the hill. trump tweeting just another desperate move by the man who should have easily beaten barack obama, misspelling the president's name. >> i will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose. >> reporter: signaling new urgency in the stop trump movement. several top republicans soliciting cash from donors, highlighting trump's comments on race. >> i don't know anything about what you are talking about with white supremacy. >> and his past business failures. >> he hides behind bankruptcy laws to duck paying bills. >> reporter: trump's opposition remains divided.

keep the front runner from winning and destroying the republican party. >> if you are at home and supporting another republican candidate i would tell you we would welcome you with open arms. >> reporter: the next show down pitting trump against his rivals and moderator megyn kelly, their first face-to-face meeting in seven months. >> i have been nice to you even though i probably could not have been. >> reporter: romney will not announce his own candidacy nor that he is endorsing anyone. the "time" magazine cover has donald trump on the front cover, bully, showman, party crasher. the fifth one is unchecked. that one says president of the united states.

carson will not be participating, hasn't suspended the campaign. >> the co-host of "with all due respect" on msnbc. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> we know what mitt romney is going to say today. with this speech does he become the defacto leader of this fractured movement to stop donald trump? >> the next two weeks are critical not just for the game but for the country in choosing who the republican nominee will be. mitt romney is choosing this moment. i think this is the wrong choice. he is the distinctive voice but part of a movement and effort to stop donald trump which is not going to happen just because mitt romney says so but the other candidates, john kasich, marco rubio, ted cruz will have to step up at this debate to be

>> there are different strands to this stop trump effort going on. what do you know about efforts to raise money to that end, to spend money particularly in florida on ads? some republican leaders openly talking about running a third party candidate with today's knowledge would all but assure a hillary clinton win. >> the effort is not to think about the third party win. the logistics are difficult. the efforts are to raise money. some richest members of republican establishment are thinking about it. the focus is to slow him down. they know donald trump is far and away the best position to be the republican nominee. what they are trying to do is win enough delegates for the other three candidates to keep donald trump from getting the majority. can you stop him at the convention.

others today and next two weeks is can you get enough delegates to stop trump. >> it seems to make no sense for the other three candidates to be attacking each other tonight. they are all going to go after donald trump. which donald trump replies? the guy who likes to insult people or the guy who was on the stage the other night? >> the guy on stage the other night was being a big figure trying to reach the country. if they go after hard after donald trump which i suspect they will, how does he respond? based on tweets against mitt romney you think he will drop the big reaching out figure and go to the tough fighter which his supporters do like. >> the money being spent, mitt romney trying to stop trump. is there a risk to that in the sense there are trump voters thinking the party leaders and a

stop trump? i must be on the right track. >> the establishment will not stop trump. it has to be the voters. this has to be about the appeal to voters who say this shouldn't be who we nominate. in the end it is not done here in washington, d.c. it is going to have to be based on advertising and persuasion can you appeal to voters to say go with one of the other three guys. don't go with donald trump. trump is in a commanding position for the nomination. >> thank you so much. as we mentioned we will talk to donald trump live in just a minute. first we want to talk about democrats. hillary clinton taking aim at the republican front runner and held a star studded rally here in new york. crist kristen welker. >> preparing for this weekend's democratic debate and it comes

e-mails won't let up. hillary clinton celebrating her strong super tuesday. >> yesterday was super tuesday tonight is superwednesday. >> reporter: with a star studded fundraiser. katy perry, elton john and more. a new spot light on her use of a private e-mail server. the justice department is granting -- he helped set up the private server clinton housed at her home when she was secretary of state. last september called in front of a congressional panel he refusing to answer any questions. a clinton spokesman says the campaign is pleased pagliano is cooperating. >> i have started on hillary yet.

donald trump is already vowing to play the e-mail card if they face off in november. >> i guarantee you one thing we will be talking about those day. >> reporter: clinton has win taking aim at trump painting herself as a unifying. the "washington post" reporting the fbi could interview other e-mails. the campaign says they would welcome that in hopes of putting the matter to rest. the department of justice did not return our request for comments. >> kristen welker, thank you. this morning in houston we have our astronaut back. scott kelly is back in the u.s. after a year aboard the international space station. he was greeted by close family and friends. kelly says he is just happy to

>> when i left here in february i don't know what day it was in february. i was 50 and now i'm 52. but it feels great. >> one interesting note, kelly grew two inches during his time on the international space station because the spine elongates in space. the growth spurt is expected to be temporary. joined now on the phone by the republican front runner, donald trump. >> mr. trump, we just got excerpts from mitt romney's speech today. he calls you among other things a phony, a fraud and playing americans for suckers. your response? >> he begged me four years ago for my endorsement. literally begged me and he is a failed candidate. i backed him. he failed. he was a horrible candidate. he disappeared in the last month before the election.

all of the shows and jay leno. this guy disappeared and got killed, decimated in the election. i will say this. if you look at what is happening and you see i won a lot of different states, maybe more importantly, millions and millions of people are joining the republican party. on the democratic side they are down 30%. the republicans are up higher than they have ever been because people are energized by what i'm saying. the american worker is making less money now than 12 years ago and losing all of our trade, jobs. >> i want to go back to mitt romney for a second. do you fear that he could now become a unifying voice in this fractured and frantic effort on the establishment side to stop you? >> mitt romney is a stiff. mitt romney will not get elected.

really failed last time. he was going against a president that should have been beaten. the president was not doing well and should have been beaten. that should have been an easy election. nobody came out to vote for mitt romney. i'm talking about republicans. it is well documented. i'm not just saying this. they didn't come out to vote for mitt romney. >> you may have just answered it with that answer. tonight at the debate it seems highly likely that the three other candidates left on the republican side are going to go after you. they are going to save their fire for you. how will you respond tonight? will you be the guy who just called mitt romney a stiff or will you be the guy who tried to appear much more presidential? who is the real donald trump? >> it's different. i have these guys like this lightweight marco rubio who doesn't show up to vote for the people of florida.

florida. i can't imagine anyone from florida wanting to vote for this guy. if you take a look at what is going on, i can't act overly presidential because i will have people attacking me from every side. ben carson is not there any longer so now more time for the fighting. i can't stand there and act presidential. >> why can't you say i'm above this? >> because when people are hitting you from different angles, unfortunately, you have to hit back. i would have a very, very presidential demeanor when i win, but until such time you have to hit back. when you hit back you are no longer presidential, unfortunately. >> on another topic, a lot of republican leaders have said the final straw for them was this controversy over the weekend about david duke and the kkk. you have since disavowed david duke.

i disavowed him many times over the years. >> people were surprised at that. >> he was talking about different groups and couldn't tell me who the groups were. >> you, yourself, said i don't know who this david duke is three times. >> what i meant is i never met david duke. i know who david duke is. >> that's not what you said. >> i'll tell you what i meant. you don't know, i know. i never met david duke. i don't know him from the standpoint i never met him. i wouldn't have anything to do with him or the kkk. everybody knows that. how many times do i have to disavow. right after that i tweeted that i disavow any endorsement of david duke. >> that was just my question to give you the chance to say and

not something you want. >> let me say it again for the 20th time. i disavow david duke and the kkk and anybody else who preaches hate. are you going to ask me about it in the next show? i disavow david duke and the kkk. i have been doing this from the time this question has been asked. >> right except for that one time which is why people were wondering about it. >> i don't know. >> i think we settled it. >> he was talking about groups. in all fairness to groups there may be a group that shouldn't be disavowed. i think it is unfair to a group if that is the case. he talked about as i remember the word groups. >> if they are a white supremacist group you don't want their vote? >> i don't want their vote. i think i said it several times and maybe better the fourth time

beginning. >> donald trump, thank you for being with us. we appreciate you calling in. new developments in the story we brought you on wednesday what could now be a piece of wreckage from malaysia airlines 370 found off the coast of africa. tom costello broke the story. >> next week is the two-year anniversary of the disappearance. this would be only the second piece of debris washed ashore in all that time. if you look closely there is something odd about the most recent piece. photographs of the piece of debris that an american tourist said he found off the coast. on one side no step. but look closely. there is no sign of any marine life which raises the question,

>> overnight australia's transportation minister confirmed the discovery. >> found in the water. it is of interest to us but i can't confirm that it is a piece of plane or anything to do with it. >> the confirmed piece of debris was covered in barnacles found not so far away on reunion island. blaine allen gibson is the american tourist who made the most recent discovery. >> this is definitely from an airplane. this could be from a boeing. this could be from a 777. this could possibly be from malaysia 370. we don't know yet. >> gibson is a self-described wealthy adventure traveler. he admits he has been fascinated with mh 370 since it disappeared and meeting with families and exchanging theories. gibson says he figured there was

drifted but insists he did not go looking for it. i talked to him on skype. >> i didn't think i would be finding a piece of airplane that day. i don't know what airplane it is. there have been other planes that have crashed in the indian ocean. and it could be one of those. >> reporter: sources close to the investigation say based on photographic evidence there is high probability it is part of the skin of a boeing 777 and the only missing 777 in the world is malaysia airlines flight 370. the australian transport minister said the location of the debris matches the drift model for where debris should end up. it won't tell investigators where the rest of the plane is. the search remains focussed on australia which 3,700 miles to the east of where they found this piece of debris.

numbers no questions asked. >> the erin andrews trial, her stalker with an elaborate plot. we launched our own test. how simple is it to get the room next door. we went under cover at top hotel chains. my producer and i booking separate reservations, using different credit cards and checking in at different times. >> she checks in first. then i go in later. all i have is her name. will they put me near her? let's start at this marriott. >> elevator to your right. >> she heads upstairs. i show up. remember we have no connection to each other. >> my friend is staying here. can i get the room next to her. >> i am not able to give up where her room number would be without her permission. >> good news. he won't put me near her.

>> heading to her room. later i check in. can i be put right next to her. >> right across from her. >> they don't have rooms next to her. >> where will i be? >> this is really incredible. here is my room. here is my room key. there is no guesswork at all. he volunteered her room number to me. he said 927. if i were a stalker here i am and there she is. >> turns out it is not an isolated case. watch this crowne plaza. katherine goes upstairs and then i arrive. >> is the room next to her open. >> is it okay if it is across? >> you're welcome. >> it just happened again.

a hotel clerk put me here and gave me her room number. no questions asked. it happened again. >> that's scary. >> the hotels telling nbc news they take safety and security very seriously. the crowne plaza adding what happened falls below our expectations. radison saying it is instructing hotel management to comply withstandards and procedures. and from hilton we are investigating and addressing the incident thoroughly. >> very concerning. >> when we shared our results with security expert he was appalled. >> with an investigative report like this it is a wakeup call for the industry to put in place policies and procedures to keep our loved ones safe. >> if you want to be completely safe when you check in tell the clerk you are not expecting anyone and if anybody asks to be near you the front desk should

but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. announcement: this storm promises to be the biggest of the decade. with total accumulation of up to three feet.

...besides arnie. xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, 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

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 . introducing the fusion of exceptional taste with the benefits of our probiotic yogurt. new activia fruit fusion, with the exclusive probiotic bifidus regularis. delicious and good for you. new activia fruit fusion. pet moments are beautiful, unless you have allergies. then your eyes may see it differently. only flonase is approved to relieve both your itchy, watery eyes and congestion. no other nasal allergy spray can say that. complete allergy relief or incomplete. let your eyes decide.
