really important information for a lot of people. >> this is the first time he's really speaking out about it. but unfortunately, we start with some really sad news. a terrible school bus crash in tennessee. as we mentioned, five elementary school children were killed. more than two dozen others have been injured. the bus driver was arrested overnight and this morning, the ntsb is sending a team of investigators to determine what exactly caused this accident. nbc's kerry sanders is in chattanooga for us this morning. >> reporter: it is a horrific morning here, savannah. as you noted, at least five young students were killed. in addition to that, six are critically injured in this accident. they are still in the hospital this morning. another six are also in the hospital with less critical injuries. a total of 20 more were taken to the hospital and released. this, this morning, as you can see here, there is a small, but growing, memorial of flowers

under way in one of the worst school bus accidents in this nation. >> school bus flipped off the roadway. it is on the shoulder. >> reporter: investigators worked through the night looking for answers that would explain why this school bus suddenly flipped on its side smashing into a tree leaving behind a deadly mass of tangled wreckage. >> i can see an arm moving but i don't know if anybody can get to it. >> we have arrested the bus driver of that school bus. chattanooga's police chief announced the arrest of the 24-year-old bus driver. >> mr. walker is being charged with five counts of vehicular whom identify, reckless endangerment, and reckless driving. >> reporter: this morning, witnesses are recalling the horror. >> i seen kids laying in the street. i saw hem pulling kids out of the bus. >> reporter: panicked parents raced to the scene, as rescuers

children. >> reporter: 8-year-old darren griffith was missing a shoe but able to walk away. . others not so lucky. >> the others who was hurt, one of them was bleeding bad and the other of them had passed out. >> reporter: 24 kids were rushed to hospitals. sadly, not all survived. the road was clear and dry and no other vehicles were involved according to authorities. >> certainly speed is being investigated very, verytr >> reporter: this morning, the children's school is re-opening administrators bringing in extra staff and counselors to help deal with the pain and grief. >> taking care of the children that are injured is our number one priority. taking care of the families who are looking for, caring for and grieving for children is our second priority. >> reporter: the police chief this morning says a warrant has

that can be examined, along with the video that was recorded on the bus. meantime, as savannah noted at the top here, a team from the national transportation safety board from washington has assembled and is flying here to investigate this accident as well this morning. savannah? >> our hearts are with the families, kerry, thank you so much. we want to turn to politics now as president-elect trump makes his first major comments to the public since the election. he is laying out agenda in a newly released video. so just how realistic is it? we have it covered today starting with nbc white house correspondent kristen welker who is at trump tower this morning. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, matt. good morning to you. in that video, president-elect trump vows to take a number of actions starting on day one, including some that would reverse president obama's policies on trade and the economy, but just as notable,

unconventional as a candidate, breaking with tradition yesterday again. his transition team creating and releasing a short video of his plans for the first 100 days. >> my agenda will be based on a simple core principle -- putting america first. >> reporter: trump's predecessor's opting for news conferences within days of winning the white house. but this event was not open to the press. instead, the former reality tv star turning to a familiar medium -- posting the video on social media. >> i want the next generation of happen right here on our great homeland. >> reporter: mr. trump vowing swift actions in six areas, all by executive order, including withdrawing from the transpacific trade deal, congress never passed the deal so mr. trump can pull out. he also wants to cancel restrictions on american energy, a process that is possible but will involve some time and red tape. trump also saying he will impose a five-year lobbying ban on white officials and a lifetime

plus -- >> i will direct the department of labor to investigate all abuses of visa programs that undercut the american worker. >> reporter: left out of the video, two of mr. trump's biggest campaign promises. bidding a wall and repealing obamacare. his top aides telling nbc news more details are coming soon. >> do the american people deserve to hear from him in a broader format like a press conference? >> and they will. they absolutely will in due course. >> when? >> >> when do you think it will happen? >> soon? why not? >> reporter: meanwhile, potential cabinet candidates paraded through trump tower on monday. rick perry eyed for secretary of defense or veterans affairs. a possible pick for ambassador to the u.n., tulsi gabbard.

expectations he main join the administration. >> i expect i'm staying and -- but i don't know what's going to happen six or nine months from now. but what i'm telling you is i intend to be governor until january 18th of 2018. >> reporter: now here at trump tower yesterday, mr. trump held an off-the-record meeting with top tv news executives and anchors, including from nbc news, he was scheduled to hold a similar meeting with the "new york times" today but just canceled today's meeting with the failing "new york times" when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. not nice. then in a second tweet he indicated the meeting could be rescheduled. he will hold a number of cabinet related meetings this morning, and then he heads to florida where he'll spend the thanksgiving holiday with his family. matt? savannah? >> all right, kristen welker in new york for us, thank you. some disturbing new video has surfaced of white nationalists meeting this

celebrating trump's election. now the president-elect is being asked to respond. nbc's hallie jackson has more on this growing controversy. hallie, good morning. >> hi, savannah. good morning. we are talking about a gathering of the national policy institute here in washington, a conference now causing controversy for what was said and who it was said about. >> reporter: new video now surfacing of a conference of the alt-right, and conservative extremist movement with ties to white nationalism. at the self-proclaimed leader of the movement, richard spencer using language similar to what was heard in nazi germany. >> for us as europeans, it is only normal again when we are great again. hail trump. hail our people. hail victory. >> reporter: in the crowd, a handful of supporters responding with a straight-arm salute. spencer telling nbc news his words and the crowd's reaction were meant to be what he calls

neo-nazi group, that they feel free to criticize trump while also praising the president-elect for, as he says, being good for the movement. in response to the conference in washington, a trump transition spokesman says, president-elect trump has continued to denounce racism of any kind and he was elected because he will be a leader for every american. to think otherwise is a complete misrepresentation of the movement that united americans from all backgrounds. >> we say no to >> we don't want a white state! >> reporter: throughout husband campaign trump has repeatedly denounced his support of racist groups like the kkk. >> i totally disavow the ku klux klan. i totally disavow david duke. >> i said stop it. if it -- if it helps. i will say it -- i'll say it right to the camera. stop it. >> simply saying "stop it" is not enough.

law center which has counted more than 700 reports of hate crimes nationally, like offensive graffiti and racial slurs since election night. a spike it says occurred after president-elect trump won the white house. his top advisors facing more questions now about the president-elect's response. >> he's addressed it many times. he's told people to cut it out. he said that on "60 minutes" in front of 32 million people. >> reporter: one of tr controversial chief strategist steve bannon who ran the controversial conservative breitbart saying he intend to make it the platform for the alt-right. cohen concerned about the tone that sets for the president-elect's administration. >> he said he wanted to bind the wounds of division, yet in bannon he's appointed someone who's fanned the flames of division. >> but steve bannon in a recent interview with the "wall street journal" says he has zero tolerance for racist or antisemitic overtones of the

let's bring in nicolle wallace. good to see you. >> morning. >> we'll talk more about that white nationalist situation in a second. but let's start with the meeting held in new york yesterday. donald trump inviting media executives and journalists. some of the people in that room i think felt they were about to have some kind of a fresh start. instead, it turned very confrontational with donald trump calling some in the room liars. one person destricribed it as a "blanking firing squad." is this simply sending a message? >> so donald trump has some legitimate concerns with the media. one is that all of us, myself included, relied on polls that turned out to be flat wrong. so there was a message to be delivered i think that not only his supporters but that even the media could have heard openly and acknowledged that we all relied on polls that turned out not to be true. we did miss some of his support and we did miss some of his supporters. that said, launching a hot war

inaugurated really deprives you as a politician -- he's not just a candidate, he's the leader of this country. this is biting your nose to spite your face. >> he released a video setting out the agenda for his first 100 days or so. lots of presidents have chosen to bypass the media and go through their own channels. what did you make of the videotape, in particular what was in it and what wasn't in it. announced their runs for the presidency in a similar video. as a tactic be with it is a good one. it is a smart one. but again, there will come a point where you want to speak not just to your supporters who are cheered by its efforts to bypass the media. but when you want to speak to the viewers of programs like this. and this again is going to deprive him of access to a lot of americans that he's going to want to reach. >> in terms of speaking to americans, we just saw hallie's report on that gathering of white nationalists in washington

that looks so much like a heil lit her salute. what does president-elect trump need to say about that right now to stop that in its tracks? >> we can call it the alt-right and white nationalism. it is white supremacy and there is one answer. it is not only to say they're not with me, it is to denounce it. and in the same way that pressure built on candidate obama to give a speech about race when the conversation in this country pressure is building on donald trump to address the subject of race and the blurred lines between what is plainly white supremacy and his base of support. and if he doesn't, the responsibility will now be on him, if we see some sort of uptick in racial intolerance. this is not really a concern among adults but if you see this kinds of speech spreading to schools, this is squarely on his

visibility, improving at night. but for seattle, heavy rain, both on wednesday and on thursday. what about the roads. well, we look for problems along i-80, i-94. i-65 as well. in fact, chicago to nashville, raining with storms clearing later at night. as we move to the west coast, rainy travel through the day with snow over the mountain pass well now that the sun is up take some big jumps over the next couple of hours. we get to 59 degrees at 10 a.m. 70 at noon, 75 at 3 p.m. and a comfortable 70 at 6. then the warm up continues we hit 78 tomorrow, thanksgiving's high right around 80. >> don't forget, when you leave

sirius xm channel 108. all month long our speegser is size "no save today" has been helping to raise awareness about men's health issues. this morning, it is prostate cancer. according to the american cancer society, 1 in 7 men will get prostate cancer. just last month actor ben stiller revealed that he was diagnosed two years ago and treated successful. he joins us now along with his surgeon, dr. edward schafer, of northwestern university's good morning to both of you. >> i'm doing great. i was really fortunate that my course of treatment was basically an operation and that was it. >> your status today in terms of cancer is -- >> is. yeah. cancer-free as of today. anybody who's had cancer, you know you just have to keep on checking on it. but i'm really fortunate. >> i mention statistics a second ago, ben. i would imagine when someone

cancer, statistics don't matter. you feel like the only one who's been told that. >> yeah. i mean it is surreal. it is not something that i was really thinking about. it wasn't on my radar at all. and if it wasn't for this test that we're going to talk about, i don't know if i would have had as easy a course of treatment or the prognosis that i did have. >> were you 48 years old when no symptoms. >> there was cancer on my father's side but not prostate cancer specifically. >> your primary care physician, not dr. schafer, had been administering a psa test for what? about two years? >> yeah. he brought up the test to me and explained what it it was. he said it is just basically a test to see. i guess when the first one came in it was a little high. he said i just want to keep giving you this test every few

that is your best case argument for the psa test, and yet we all know that it's controversial. why? >> it's controversial because prostate cancer is a common cancer, 1 in 7 men will have it but not everybody who gets prostate cancer will die from it. so we have to really better identify those who have a lethal or aggressive cancer from throws that do not. >> okay. so what would be the downside to at least testing? >> well, in my mind there's not a lot of downside for a patient where they stand. but some would argue that if the test is elevated it may lead to unnecessary biopsies or additional tests which can cause anxiety to the patient. >> when you finally came to the decision to treat this, you opted for removal of the prostate. >> yes. >> there are other options. why did you fall on that option? >> because that's what my doctors recommended. >> i'm listening to my doctor. >> i am not a doctor.

told me what he thought. i talked to a number of doctors before i settled on ted and i didn't settle, by the way. >> thanks for that, ben. >> the thing is, it is a whole new world and you have to educate yourself. for me it was learning what the options were. he told me about what he thought the best course of treatment would be for the tumor that i had and so i opted for the operation. >> we hear about this o tell you on a street or when you're at a cocktail party with that guy is i'm not doing that because there's all kinds of side effects. im impotence, incontinence. >> there could be side effects. when a man is confronted with cancer it is important to understand what is the best treatment for them. men can have difficulty with their urination and with their sexual function after treatment for prostate cancer. it is not just isolated to

better job recommending active treatment for men versus just watching their cancers. >> in general terms, may i ask you if you've had to deal with any of the side effects? >> yeah. but i'm doing good. all good. >> yeah? okay. >> read between the thumbs there. >> i settled for the right doctor. no. i mean it's a real thing though. those are all -- when you're confronted with the question of, hey, do you want to live or do you want to make sure that your sex life is the best it can be? of the cancer and then see what happens and luckily everything's cool. >> we did a survey with dr. oz as part of this month of men's health. 59% of men we surveyed say they've not discussed the risks and benefits of screening for prostate cancer with their doctor. 54% said they don't know what a psa test even is. what would you say about that? >> that's amazing stat. it is really upsetting to me as a physician and this is what ben and i were really trying to do

i think the best and most important step for an individual man is to really discuss whether or not they should get testing for prostate cancer with their doctor. it is a personal decision. >> you waited a couple years before you came out and told our friend, howard, about this. >> yep. >> so clearly you must have a message for guys out there watching, not only in the month of november when we all get scruffy but every month of the year. >> yeah. i mean for me, it's please talk to your doctor about this, be every guy should go get tested after the age of 40, 45, especially if you have a family history. the test itself is not harmful. it is what can happen after in terms of overtreatment, those questions. but those are all things can you discuss with your doctor. if i hadn't taken this test i wouldn't have known. i don't know when i would have known until it had probably become something that was not going to have the outcome in terms of the treatment that it did have. >> happy you're okay.

doctor, great to meet you and thank you very much. thanks, guys. coming up, very veggie friendly

good morning, it is 8:27 on

love. and when you see the film and you see -- because she had a vision of adopting a brown-skinned child when she was so young herself in her teenage years. and she made it happen. and i think that. and then the love. the unconditional love that you feel i think is so -- it's really captured in this movie. so, yeah, this is -- but this is not just for adoptive mothers. this is for >> i'm from calcutta. i lost him. >> dev is phenomenal in this. he's grown up a lot from "slumdog millionaire" which is a role so many of us saw him in. tell me about your interaction with him and what did you admire most in his acting abilities? >> he's just so joyful, for one thing. dev is funny.
