several days. nbc's janet shamlian is in pensacola against for us today. janet, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. this is the storm that doesn't want to quit, pummeling the south for days, and it's been setting rainfall records as it marches to the east. no letup this morning to the heavy rains, pounding winds and floods brutalizing the gulf coast, from pascagoula to pensacola, red flag warnings. the wind and rain unrelenting. the rain is punishing, but more than that it's the wind. gusts exceeding 35 miles an hour. the type of winds you would see in a tropical storm. >> across the south, dramatic scenes as the storm moved through. part of the causeway to dauphin, alabama, had to be shut down, waters streaming over the sea wall. >> i looked out from the balcony and saw it out here, and i'm like, whoa, that's getting a little close for comfort. >> reporter: in baton rouge rescuers pulled 20 elementary school students to safety when a bus stalled on a flooded road.

orleans but not the misery of flooded streets, debris and damaged homes. >> real bad, i mean, bad. every time you get yourself situation another disaster comes through. >> reporter: but through it all even a little humor. >> reporter: if you're coming into mobile you should be okay, except for the gusts of wind and the blinding rain. other than that everything is great. >> reporter: and now this entire system is moving into the midwest and northeast where you guys are. it's going to be a super soaker there as well. matt and savannah, back to you. >> we've been warned. janet shamlian in pensacola, thank you. >> she says midwest, northeast, that's us. >> that's right, and it's going to be unrelenting for the next 48 hours. show you where this thing is headed. okay. remnants of patricia, and more tropical moisture pushing in, and so we're going to be watching this now through the day today. it starts to push out into the mississippi and ohio river valleys. rain, increasing wind, local flooding becoming which had spread and then makes its way into the northeast by late wednesday afternoon. so here's what we're looking at.

heavy rain for today, expanding areas of rain, gusty winds, up to 3 inches of rain from paducah to cincinnati. we're watching this closely, and then as we move into tomorrow, in the northeast. the good news is we have a drought situation here in the northeast and new england. this will help, but with wind gusts of 40 to 45 miles per hour we look for major airport delays, guys, that will probably philadelphia, washington, d.c. and all through major airports here in new york city. >> keep an eye on it. al, thank you very much. >> now to this disturbing video that's getting a lot of attention this morning showing the violent arrest of a female high school student in south carolina and an investigation is now under way. natalie is following this this morning. nat, good morning. >> good morning, guys. it is hard to watch that video. the indent captured by other students in the classroom, and this morning the deputy in that video has now been banned from the school district pending the results of that investigation. outrage is growing this morning over this disturbing incident

captured by a student at spring valley high school in columbia, south carolina. it shows a school resource officer confronting a female student for allegedly disrupting class. >> are you going to come with me or do i have to make you? >> he asks her to come with him and after she refuses several times the confrontation escalates. it's unclear what led up to the incident, but a second video shot by another student shows the officer pulling the girl to the ground and throwing her across the floor. the officer identified by the richland county sheriff's department as deputy ben fields declined to be interview pending an investigation. >> the sheriff fully understands the seriousness of this incident and will address it once again when the investigation is completed. >> reporter: according to the sheriff's office it was only after the student refused to leave the classroom that the officer was called in. on facebook and on twitter, the video was trending with

the #assaultatspringvalleyhigh. the aclu and the richland black parents association with condemning the incident calling it egregious and unacceptable. school officials are working with the sheriff's department to investigate. the district superintendent released a statement saying, quote, student safety is and always will be the district's done priority. the district will not tolerate any actions that jeopardize the safety of our students. pending the outcome of the investigation, the district has directed that the school resource officer not return to any school in the district. >> the student who was detained was later released to her parents, we're also learning this morning more about deputy ben fields. now he and several other officers were sued for excessive force back in 2007, but they won that case and fields and other school officials are facing another lawsuit brought by a student for a 2013 incident claiming in part that fields unfairly and recklessly targets african-american students with allegations of gang membership

and criminal gang activity. fields and the other defendants deny any wrongdoing, and they have presented evidence to oppose these allegations. that case still pending, guys, but clearly this is an issue that has been ongoing here at school. >> we're just talking here, look at video and see the other students sitting like statues at their desk. it's clear they feared perhaps this person they were intimidated by this person. >> and the only weapon of choice is to record everything on video. >> exactly. >> natalie, thank you. let us turn now to the presidential race, and in a moment we'll talk exclusively to democratic hopeful senator bernie sanders, but first we've got some new poll numbers on the republican side as the candidates descend on colorado for the next debate. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is there. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning to you. this is our first look this morning inside the spin room ahead of tomorrow night's republican debate. you've got donald trump now in second place in iowa, dr. ben carson, can he maintain his momentum? here's that new poll numbers.

the front-runner in iowa and is polling away, the third straight poll to show this with the support of iowa evangelicals, up double digits over trump. trump will try to reverse those numbers today when he heads to iowa, and we'll be watching to see whether he backs away from his recent criticis, his attacks of ben carson over his faith and over what trump energy. trump also raised eyebrows during that "today" show town hall in new hampshire monday. he said that his climb to the top of the business world has not been easy, describing what he called a small $1 million loan from his father. back then $1 million then by the way is the equivalent of more than $6 million today. but one of the best matchups of the night will likely be between jeb bush and marco rubio. during a powerpoint presentation to donors in houston yesterday the bush campaign put up a slide that nbc news contained that read experience matters as its title and beneath it one of the bullet points says marco is a

like obama the bush campaign criticized rubio for running as a first-term senator, for being a university lecturer and for having in its word fuse legislative accomplishments. the republican candidates sharing the stage for only third time when we see them here in colorado tomorrow night. matt, back to you. >> peter, thanks. a reminder you can catch that debate, "your money, your vote" tomorrow at 8:00 eastern on cnbc. >> and now to the democratic race, as hillary clinton campaign enjoys new momentum, her main rival vermont senator bernie sanders is still nipping at her heels and providing a much bigger challenge than anyone would have predicted. senator sanders, good morning. it's nice to have you here in our studio. >> great to be here with you. >> a lot of democrats really like you, some of them love you, but if you put your candidacy up side by side to hillary clinton and ask a simple question who is more likely to prevail in a general election, would you acknowledge that hillary clinton has a better chance of winning the general? >> absolutely not. actually, if you look at some of

trump, we do better than hillary clinton, not in all, but in many of them, and the reason for that is the enthusiasm that we are generating, a lot of working class people and young people who have given up on the political process are now coming out and they want a candidate to stand up for the big money interests and create an economy that works for all of us and not just the 1% so we're generating excitement, big voter turnouts work, democrats win under those circumstances, and i think we are the candidate to do that. >> you are progressive across the board except perhaps on the issue of guns. you've supported some reforms, but you also support legal immunity for gun manufacturers. you voted against the brady bill which calls for background checks and five-day waiting periods. do you think at this stage in this day and age that makes you a tough sell for many mainstream democrats? >> i don't and i'll tell you why, matt. what people don't know is that in 1988 when i first ran for

congress, there were three candidates in the race. two of them were supported by the gun groups, one of them, me, was not, and you know why? because i said in that campaign, 19828 8 i would vote to ban certain assault weapons. two years later i kept my word and by the way i have a d-minus voting record from the nra and i have been strong in saying we have got to bring people together to end these horrific massacres that we're seeing and i think as a candidate coming from a state that has virtually no gun control at all i think i can do that. >> you've sharpened your rhetoric in the last few days, hillary clinton gained new momentum in this race and one thing you point out more consistently for a longer term like gay marriage. >> right. >> on issues like trade deals. >> yeah. >> you use the word expedient a lot. let me be direct to you. do you think hillary clinton holds positions when and only because they are politically expedient?

make that decision, but what i will say is i have from almost day one in the congress known that our trade policies have been a disaster for american workers. we have lost millions of decent paying jobs. >> but the subtext is that hillary clinton hasn't picked up that fight where you have? >> well, let me just say this. let me put it in this way. i am delight the that in the last couple of months hillary clinton has come on board positions that i have held for many, many years on trade, on the keystone pipeline. if you're serious about climate change, you never support the transportation of some 69 dirtiest fuel on earth so i'm glad that hillary clinton is moving in my direction. >> let me talk about gridlock. people right now, senator, are so frustrated with washington. >> yes. >> president obama has had key elements of his agenda blocked by conservatives in congress. >> yes. >> you are to the left of president obama. >> yes. >> why will you succeed in getting rid of gridlock where he can't? >> great question.

the american people, matt, around issues that they support. people want to see the minimum wage go up, 15 bucks an hour. want to create millions of jobs and want to make public colleges and universitieses. >> but the president has tried to rally the american people. >> i will do it differently because at the end of the day what people are really upset about is that big money controls what goes on in congress, and the only way we change that is when millions of people come forward and demand the government represents all of us and not just the billionaire class. >> senator sanders, you have all of us reaching into our high school textbooks to look up the definition of socialism versus capitalism. you call yourself a democratic socialist. in our last poll 60% of respondents said they were either comfortable or very comfortable with capitalism. capitalist. i see those signs at your rallies, people say join the revolution. what about those voters who don't think a revolution sounds exciting, they think it sounds scary?

people aware that programs like social security, medicare, the national park system which is a wonderful system are publicly owned programs, and to also make people aware that we're the only major country on earth, savannah, that doesn't guarantee health care to all people as a right and we don't have paid family and medical leave, that we do not make public colleges and universities tuition-free as many other countries do, so i think once we get these issues out and talk about creating a government and programs that work for ordinary people rather than just the very wealthy i think more people will understand what we're talking about. >> it's nice to have you here in new york. come by and see us again. >> thank you very much. >> appreciate it. >> some other big news out of washington, by the way, house republican leaders reaching a brewing tentative budget deal with the white house aimed at stopping a government shutdown. >> if approved, the agreement would set government funding levels for the next two years and extend the nation's debt

limit through 2017. it would be a milestone after years of gridlock and annual threats of government shutdowns. speaker john boehner works resigns from congress at end of this week, says by pushing through this deal he was cleaning out the barn. >> all right. and now to canada where officials are still trying to figure out what caused a whale watching boat to capsize off vancouver island. it killed at least five people. as divers search for another passenger who is still missing this morning. nbc's national correspondent miguel almaguer is on the story again for you. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. this is a popular tourist defendant nation, not just for americans but for folks all around the globe. the five victims have been identified as british nationals as investigators try to determine what went wrong. surrounded by majestic beauty, this morning the nightmare aboard the "leviathan ii" remains deep and towed into calmer waters it's the kay yogs on this vessel many will never forget.

mariners say can quickly turn violent. >> and it's much too early to say what the causes and contributing factors to this accident might be. >> reporter: this morning what happened in these waters remains a mystery, but investigators promise answered will surface. the victims range in age from 18 to 76. investigators say they are looking into the possibility that a rogue wave may have sent the boat to the bottom of the ocean. savannah, matt. >> all right, miguel almaguer, thank you. rescuers picking their way through very rugged terrain in the search of survivors in the massive quake that hit pakistan and afghanistan. more than 300 people have died. that number is expected to rise as search teams reach remote areas that have been cut off by that powerful 7.5 magnitude quake that triggered landslides and toppled buildings and severed communication lines. the government is cracking down on e-cigarettes on passenger planes after more than two dozen explosions and fires over about half a decade.

these two not only go at it but at the same time like they are just funny people and, i mean, there's not a dead day. >> each one of you became coaches because you have a resume, because you have a great track record as recording artists and musicians, but what has this show given you that you never got from the other side your career? >> oh, my god. for me, it's given me so much inspiration. i mean, i can't -- i think i wouldn't even have my new record if not for this show. >> why in. >> the show for me it might be the funnest thing i've ever done. >> i agree. >> and add am wrote me an e-mail when i was first considering dougherty show. got to do this show, it's so great. >> the i said she would be so inspired and have the time her life because for all of us that's exactly what happened. it's just one of those things where you're not sure what you're getting yourself into and once you do it, you realize, the coolest thing about it is how we have something to offer. can you offer these guys. i don't think you ever come into

the voice without -- you don't even realize that you have anything to offer these people. >> it brings a whole different level of exposure. you sent a tweet recently, went through a course, sorry about that but also tweeted recently the stuff i read about myself blows my mind. you tweeted that to your 14 million followers. >> whoa. >> you're popular. >> very, very popular these days. >> what's the craziest rumor you've heard about yourself? >> the craziest that i've heard about myself? >> oh, my gosh. i don't -- i've heard -- i need to go to the newsstands. >> heard that you were nice. >> that's ridiculous. >> that is ridiculous. >> i heard you were super-duper talented. >> now i know why we separated you two. >> gwen, you have a new music video out for "i used to love you." can i play a portion of that. >> oh, my god, please play it. >> so good. >> listen. oh, i used to love you

oh, oh, oh, oh >> because your personal life has also been in the headlines. fans are looking at this and are they misinterpreting something here or is it all right there in front of us in terms of the meaning of the song? >> oh, my god, put me on the spot. i'm like who, who. >> but that's why we have this platform right now. >> good idea, pharrell. >> what i'll say about that is i've never put a record out where i'm actually going through things in realtime. like the tragic kingdom, wrote that over a three-year period and then it came out and two years on two and it's this long drawn out thing. i wrote that song a couple weeks ago and sat in front of a camera in a dressing room randomly not making a video just to do like some video for the screens behind me and it went out and it was like the video. so all very real. >> what's the reaction to it? >> it's just nice to do music and have that support from

everybody. i don't know these people but from whatever i feel their energy and love comes back at me and that's really comforting. >> that's nice. >> what's with the hair? you went bald for this season. you had to go there. had to give him more fuel for the fire over there. >> squidward. >> how did it feel like part of bald nation. >> you're an idiot. >> the you know what? >> we're live. you know we're live. >> you look like a sperm cell. >> still in the big red chair. >> of all my friends, you're my dumbest. >> okay. >> i don't even know why you're still on this show. >> i show up for this every day. every day. >> brings so much joy. >> are you and the boys doing the super bowl halftime show. >> no. we want to. maybe we can make a lot of racket. >> i heard negotiations were under way. >> you read that same thing too. >> none of that is true but it

would be nice for us to be a self-fulfilling prophecy so let's get that going. super bowl people. >> super bowl. >> we want to do the super bowl. let's do it. >> my only complaint about this show, your show, is i don't think carson gets enough credit in promos and things like that? can i say this. >> yes. >> carson is the reason nobody has gone on to be a star after they have won "the voice." he actually is the reason. >> i don't agree with you often. that's fine. >> do you have a question, carson? >> you can see it. >> look at his eyes. >> do you have a question, mr. daly. >> i do. glad you brought it up. look at this tweet we got here. this the comes from trl rulz 99. my favorite part of "the voice" is the host. he is magic. what do you like most about him? >> you are magic man. we love you so much. i love you >> is that your own twitter account?

really do love doing it and nobody really knows that about me except my closest friends, so with the launch of my lifestyle brand and everything else it just made sensini to share with everyone the way that we live. >> you add mitt that when you and portia if to dinner parties. >> mm-hmm. >> that that's where you do your scouting, so you're one of these people if i were to invite you over you would be checking out -- >> i would buy your house. >> you would buy it from me. >> everything is for sale, everything has a price and if i like your house. >> have you ever done that and gone in and offered somebody who wasn't selling? >> we bought a house because we went to dinner at their house and they tried to sell it, invited us to dinner knowing we would want to buy it so we were traptd, lured in with dinner and by the end of it it cost us a lot of money. >> and you did buy it? >> we did buy it. >> are you critical -- >> and now ryan seacrest lives in that house. we invited him to dinner. >> so turn about is fair play. >> exactly. >> are you critical when you go to people's homes? do you look at things that

people done? >> and then i will not be friend with them if i don't like their taste. >> you're very judgmental. >> very, extremely. >> whatever your eye goes to, if you're -- if that's what you're interested in, you know, i mean, if you play golf with somebody and they don't have a good swing you're going to judge them -- >> i turn away. i don't look because i don't want that mental image. >> i see. >> yeah. >> would you do this if you weren't doing tv. would this be your full-time gig? >> yes, i would. i would buy houses. i don't like building. it don't like construction but i love redoing a house and refurnishing a house and shopping and i like the whole design part of it and then i -- i would sell it. that's what i would do. i would do that all day long. >> but you're not going to do that any time soon. are you still going to keep your day job? >> of course. was that a hiccup. >> no, no, but you did hiccup one time? you told me i hiccupped before i answered. >> how much longer? >> i don't know. i have this year and next year on my contract and i'm having

enjoying it, and so i'll do it as long as it's fun. that's the pat answer, right in. >> that's what you said last time. >> but that's true. it really is true. i think if i'm not enjoying it and not having fun there's no reason for me to do it and also i think people sense, that so i'll do it as long as we're all -- it's a relationship between all of us. >> well. i love the book. >> thank you. >> it's beautiful. the pictures are great. >> thank you. >> i would love to invite to you dinner at my house. >> you live upstate in the. >> i live out at the beach. >> in the hamptons. >> are you looking for a beach property. >> possibly. >> are you near ren perlman? >> no. i want his house. >> do you? >> a lot of people want his house. he's got a good house. >> make him an offer. >> he's never going to sell that house. i can't afford that house, not yet, unless people buy this book. but i'd love to see your house. >> all right. >> we'll spruce up. >> ellen, always good to see you. >> your taste or your wife's tastes in the. >> uh-oh, no.

mom this is hugely important. is there anywhere in your house i can get a good signal? anyway, you were saying. it's a tragic love story. i love tragedy. what is that noise? what? i'm on set. what movie? i'm shooting a movie about laundry. leave slow internet behind. a movie about laundry? yeah the 100% fiber optics network gives you the fastest wi-fi available when you need it the most.

we're back now at 8:48 with a man who can really do it all the. when seth macfarlane isn't acting, writing, producing and directing he's singing and the grammy nominee is out with his full length album called "no one ever tells you." good morning. >> good morning to you, too. it's so early.

>> good time for singing. >> everybody loves singing at what, 5:30. >> did you roll out of bed? >> pretty much, how i sleep. >> your voice is like butter automatically. >> it's like butter on toast. >> really? >> butter on burned toast. >> and i can't wait to hear the burned toast. if the album is "no one ever tells you." >> yes. >> complete this sun, never ever tells you -- >> how to love and lose. >> i only bring it up because it's tough to bring the seth macfarlane from "the family guy" into that jazz standard classy situation. >> i think a lot of people have that problem. i'm hoping that the two fan bases don't ever meet each other because it could be disastrous. >> like the sharks and the jets. >> just terrible. if you had to choose, over here in this basket is like movies and entertainment and "family guy" writing and directing and over here is music and you had to choose, i'm holding a gun to your head.

>> i just said metaphorically. >> in this climate. there's room for all. there's room for all and i enjoy it all. that's the beauty of my day i never know what i'm going to be doing. this is a perfect example. >> you feel like switzerland in that response, you're neutral. >> good reference. >> seth macfarlane, take it away. >> all righty. a cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces an airline ticket to romantic places and still my heart has wings snows these foolish ish ish ish ish ish ish these foolish things remind me of you a tinkling piano in the next

those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant a frowned's painted swings these foolish things remind me of you you came, you saw, you conquered me when you did that to me i knew somehow this the had to be the winds of march that make my heart a dancer

whose to answer oh, how the ghost of you clings these foolish things remind me of you the winds of march that make my heart a dancer a telephone that rings but who's to answer oh, how the ghost of you

these foolish things remind me of you >> seth macfarlane, thank you so much. back with more music in our next hour. coming up next, "snl" alum david spade returns to his old stomping grounds, but first this is "today" on nbc. how do you reimagine "banking"? you start with this... then you make it... nothing like this. you make a capital one caf\. someplace more relaxed.

with free wi-fi and banking advice... without all the "double talk." and checking accounts with no minimums... or fees. then you design a top-rated mobile app that makes banking as easy as this. that's banking reimagined.

all right. we're back with david spade who is out with his new autobiography "almost interesting." david, welcome back. good to see you. >> good title. >> it is interesting. you get a lot of behind-the-scenes stories here from "snl," including a feud with eddie murphy. >> oh, that's right. >> over a joke? >> yeah. i mean, some people knew about that back in the day. i used to do jokes about everybody, and i did one about eddie murphy. whoops. did not fly. >> you do jokes about a lot of people. >> i mean, it was a lot -- i was trying to keep my job and you're always on the verge of getting fired when you're new there and once i got into the this hollywood minute, lorne is like i like this. keep doing it and i had to keep

doing it and if i was just taking people's legs out i didn't matter. i was there for me. but it was -- the joke, eddie was not happy. he called and kept calling and kept calling. >> what was the joke? >> it was stupid. it was like -- he did two movies. >> might still hold a grudge. >> i saw him at the 40th and we -- we hugged it out, as they say on the streets. >> did you, cool. >> this is a teaser because you're coming back. >> oh, yeah. i've got the full version when we come back. >> much more with dave spade
