bye-bye. this morning on "today's take," decision 2016. trump and clinton win big. what does that mean for the other candidates? ben affleck's batman surprise that left fans in disbelief. and your first listen to ariana grande's yet to be released single "dangerous woman." all that and more coming up now. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al

geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today". it's wednesday morning, a beautiful one at that. 2nd day of march, 2016. beautiful crowd on the plaza. inside i'm willy along with al and tamron, natalie out on assignment. my morning -- i can't get myself out of the "hamilton" soundtrack. two thursdays ago. this is "wait for it," and this is my current "hamilton" song. i go through one every couple of days. >> i love you went back a second time. we've all been fortunate enough to see it, but it's interesting how many friends i have who call, i'm in new york, can you get me tickets? i'm like, who -- >> no. >> the list of celebrities who are waiting. who haven't seen it. >> i got to go months and months ago with my dad. i took my parents. i didn't -- couldn't get one for christina, my wife. she hasn't seen it and heard me talk about it for six months. she's like, you need to take me.

now the problem is my kids love the sound track so much, they're like, dad, can we go? i went on stubhub for fun yesterday, oh, my. >> they can see it or they go to college. i'm telling you. >> they're little kids. >> they'll appreciate it. >> i'm saying they have time to wait on the wait list for the tickets. the wait list is like four years. sweet 16, lucy, you get to go. >> there you go. >> george, to 30, you get to go. >> and she's in a wheelchair. hi, how are you? >> oh, man. >> willie, it won't be "hamilton" then it'll be trump. >> nice segway. very nicely done. somebody has been out on the trail for a couple of weeks. big wins for donald trump and hillary clinton on super tuesday. the rest of the field staying strong, they'll be in the race they say for at least another couple weeks. let's start with the republicans. donald trump wins massachusetts, virginia, tennessee, alabama, georgia, arkansas, vermont.

winning a couple others. up in the northeast as well. ted cruz, three wins, home state of texas. a lot of people thought he could pull it off. also oklahoma, neighboring state, and the alaska caucuses broke for ted cruz. marco rubio did win one first, his first win of this primary campaign, taking minnesota. here's how the delegate count stacks up. this is what matters in the end. trump with 292. cruz with 188. 98 for marco rubio. the magic number to get a majority and take the nomination, 1,237. let's take a look at the democrats. big night for hillary clinton. she too had seven wins. virginia, tennessee, alabama, georgia, arkansas, texas and massachusetts. bernie sanders got vermont, oklahoma, minnesota and colorado also broke for him. the magic number for the democrats, 2,383 delegates. hillary clinton seems to be looking ahead. in many of the speeches she's

but especially last night to a potential face-off with donald trump. >> we know we've got work to do. but that work, that work is not to make america great again. america never stopped being great. [ applause ] we have to make america whole. i believe what we need in america today is more love and kindness. [ applause ] instead of building walls, we're going to break down barriers and build -- contrast with donald trump. love and kindness. we're going to wrap you up. this is not a confrontation. donald trump, celebrating in florida at his home mar-a-lago,

>> make america great again is going to be much better than making america whole again. i am a unifier. once we get all of this finished, i'm going to go after one person. that's hillary clinton. >> we haven't talked about the staging of that event. a lot of people are saying -- >> but chris christie, boy, that's all anybody was talking about. >> he may have, if you look at social media traffic, he may have upstaged donald trump, in the theater that was supposed to look like the east room of the white house. the vines and the leaves, it was trending, chris christie hostage. it's incredible. now, you have, on a more serious note, i believe six newspapers in new jersey calling on chris christie to resign. >> get back to new jersey and do your job instead of being out on the trail. >> fascinating. >> ted cruz is still fighting. did pretty well last night, winning three states. believes he is the conservative who can challenge donald trump. >> america shouldn't have a president whose words would make

repeated them. our president should make us all proud, should inspire hope in all of us. we can nominate a washington deal maker, profane and vulgar, who has the life-long pattern of using government power for personal gain. or we can nominate a proven conservative who has fought consistently for working men and women. and to defend the constitution. >> kind of interesting about that, donald trump went first because he won. he was very gracious about ted cruz, anyway. he said, excellent win tonight for ted. congrats for him. he did a great job. >> took a shot at marco rubio. >> he went after rubio as he's been doing. marco rubio said despite the one win last night and overall in the primary, he's staying in the race and looking ahead to florida on march 15th. his home state. he believes if he wins there,

>> the party of lincoln and reagan and the presidency of the united states will never be held by a con artist. i will campaign as long as it takes and wherever it takes to ensure that i am the next president of the united states. >> he's got about 13 days now until that vote in florida on march the 15th. he's still trailing big in the polls to donald trump, but it could change in the next two weeks. >> listen, super tuesday, when you look at the voters who decided late in many cases they sided with marco rubio. >> almost won virginia. >> some say john kasich kept him from winning. john kasich might say no, but in reality, he did close some of the gaps, so you do wonder if that last week of heated rhetoric that wasn't necessarily about policy, more personal back and forth with donald trump. in reality, as willie pointed out, he just has one win. >> yeah. >> reading some of this stuff,

going to go after trump now. >> they are predicting millions now in florida alone will be spent on attack ads, going after trump, for the trump university, that lawsuit is still pending and other issues, including you heard ted cruz last night refer to some alleged secret recording with the new york times off the record conversation that he's calling on donald trump to release -- tell the "times" to release the tapes. so if people think it's cooling down, it is not. >> they're going to do that in ohio, too. florida and ohio. >> it's like a superhero battle almost. like superman versus batman. speaking of which, tourists on the warner brother's studio tour got a little bit of a surprise when batman versus superman star, ben affleck, surprised them in the new bat mobile. >> the car you see behind me is going to be featured very heavily in "batman versus

ben affleck drove this around. who do you think would win, batman or superman? >> superman. >> batman. >> who do you think would win in a fight, batman or superman? >> superman. >> who said superman? >> unbelievable. >> how ya doing? >> everyone that said superman, change it to batman. >> are you real? >> i am real. >> are you real? >> he's one of those animatronic dummies. i love it. >> hilarious. >> ben did it to announce the campaign to donate to charities for a chance to actually win a spin in the bat mobile. "batman versus superman" theaters march 25th. fan boys across america are all excited about this. >> the premiere says batman and superman really get into it, right? >> it's based on the frank miller trilogy. >> one has an ego out of control or something? >> well, it's a little bit more complicated than that.

super-powered alien who helps destroy the city in a big fight. batman decides to come out of retirement and go after him. >> wow. >> today's would you wednesday. before we go to would you wednesday, we have some business we have to tend to. >> what would that be? >> want to discuss it publicly or do you want to discuss it in private? >> we're family here. >> we'll take it to the streets? >> what's happening? >> i've been on the road for the last -- >> you've been busy. >> -- 14, 21 days. >> working really hard. >> not to cry a river here, but i have had a double infection. i'm on my second batch of antibiotics. >> that's horrible. >> in charleston, willie knows, i had to go to the hospital, where i had two shots in the keister. >> that was like three. >> in the keister. >> do they make that noise? yeah. >> that's what it sounded like. i was very, very sick. couldn't get out of bed. so i'm on my last round of my

thank you, dr. dave. >> coming out of it feeling good. >> i'm getting better. >> better? >> better. sunday, i am supposed to -- it was my idea, and i own it -- take the polar plunge in the city of chicago. >> you can't do that. you're not feeling well. don't do that. >> no. >> you can't do that. you might get ill. that might give you a setback. >> just for full disclosure, i was originally on an antibiotic, this starts with an "l" and causes loopiness and tendon pain. this is a note from the doctor. >> medical term? loopiness. >> al roker and i have been discussing this. >> you know what? i feel so badly for you. we've actually got the great dylan dreyer to step in for you because you're not feeling well. we would never want you to put yourself in harm's way. >> i've on levaquin. that's what i'm on. al seems to believe despite

the polar plunge. >> no, no, who would think that? not me. >> willie, what do you think? i mean, listen, chicago, i feel horrible about this. i don't know -- i'm being 100% serious. i don't know if it's medically advisable. dr. dave says no. >> let's go to another doctor. dr. seuss. dr. seuss day. today is the writer's illustrate illustrator's birthday. and, hey, green eggs and ham. that's what the doctor will -- >> al roker! >> what's your favorite dr. seuss book. >> you know what? >> "oh, the places you'll go." how about yours? >> al, don't guilt me subconsciously. >> dr. seuss, "green eggs and ham." what a great -- you know? i do not like green eggs and ham, i do not like them, sam i am. let's look at -- look at the low pressure system pushing down on

it will bring rain to the south. snow to the north. des moines, chicago, sound bend seeing accumulating snow. on friday, moving east-northeast, brings snow, off the north carolina coast, into washington, d.c. into the new york area. how much snow are we talking about? cedar rapids, chicago, columbus, 2 to 4 inches. but you get to the south of washington, dover, delaware, could see 6 to 8 inches of snow, new york area, maybe 1 to 2 inches. that's what's going on ang amy: good morning central florida, i' m amy sweezey. despite a cold front coming true we will still stay warm today, tomorrow and friday. once we get to the weekend we

to say at the outset. any dramatic change in your nail, whether it's a change in the color, change in the quality or consistency,en suddenly you have new pits or ridges, it's probably a good idea to see our health care provider. we say the eyes are the windows into your soul. you can learn a lot in nails in terms of your nail health. blue nails can be associated with not getting enough oxygen. if you have liver disease and nail changes, not surprising. but changes in your body is a good time to see your provider. >> these are nice for screen savers. what about cracks on the side of your mouth? >> this happens to people if you lip your lip lick your lips a lot. but cracked, red, inflamed looking, can be a sign of

one of the most common would be b b b12 deficiency. we see it a lot in people who are vegan because b 12 comes from animal products. >> what foods help? >> animal products. meat, fish, poultry, eggs and milk. otherwise, also supplement. >> next one, this is a little uncomfortable for people. if you have an unusual odor from urine. >> sometimes just from being dehydrated, the scent coming from the urine can be a little strong. if it's a very pungent odor, it could be an indicator of a bladder infection or inflammation. one we commonly associate is a fruity smell. this is in people who have diabetes. the sugars get very, very high and spill sugar into the urine and you can smell that. >> my son asked me, what's the asparagus thing. i don't know the answer.

that contains sulfur. if you're smelling your asparagus asparagus, you have the gene. >> half people don't possess this gene that metabolizes that compound. it's a sulfur-containing compound. >> tingling in hands and feet. how serious? >> if you know you have sciatica, a certain herniated disk, tingling in one toe on one foot, is it an immediate medical emergency? probably not. if you suddenly have pins and needles in both hands, both feet, it could be a cause of concern. underlying infections. inflammatory and auto immune disorders. toxins can cause this. you should seek a consultation with a health care provider, yes. >> okay. folks who suck on ice. if you're anemic, that --

there's this condition we in the medical profession say when people chew on something for more than one month. clay or dirt when you're anemic. people used to do this way, way back in the day. apparently, chewing on ice is an example. it can signify iron deficiency anemia and should be evaluated. >> thanks so much. still ahead, the movie stirring up controversy. we've got an when i grow up, i want to be a teacher, a scientist, or maybe a dancer. but learning is hard when you're hungry. that's why for years kellogg's has helped provide millions of breakfasts to kids who start school without it. and with your help,
