good morning. landslide. donald trump and bernie sanders win big in new hampshire. >> we are going to make america so great again. maybe greater than ever before. >> thank you, new hampshire! >> for hillary clinton, a crushing defeat. >> i know i have some work to do, particularly with young people. >> reason john kasich, energized by a second place finish. >> if you don't have a seat belt, go get one.

iowa, admits his debate performance cost him. >> i didn't do well on saturday night. listen to this, that will never happen again. >> how will the outcome change the race? who stays in? who calls it quits? the candidates speak out today, wednesday, february 10th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. >> we just gave away our lead guest. >> right there, donald trump, live in our studio. a man of his word. yesterday, he said, if i win, i'll join you in your studio. guess what? here he is. >> the big winner, wasn't even close on the republican side or democratic side. >> huge shifts on the left and the right. let's get to where things stand

fueled by record-setting voting turnout, bernie sanders won over hillary clinton more than 20 points. hillary clinton conceded moments after the poll closed. >> things aren't closer on the republican side, at least at the top. donald trump doubling his closest competitor, the surprise of the night, john kasich. cruz finished third after a win in iowa. followed closely be jeb bush and marco rubio with chris christie in a disappointing sixth. >> we'll talk to trump and kasich in a moment. first, let's start with the democrats. kristen welker, good morning. >> what a night. the clinton campaign is waking up to the reality secretary clinton has a tough road ahead. right now, senator bernie sanders has more momentum. the campaign has been bracing for a loss but didn't expect

>> reporter: riding a wave of anti-establishment enthuse iasm enthusiasm, bernie sanders trounced center clinton in new hampshire, turning his underdog campaign into a real fight. >> it is just too late for the same old, same old establishment politic politics. the people want real change. [ applause ] >> reporter: in a rousing speech that lasted nearly 30 minutes, sanders flexed his muscles, painting the win as a validation of his call to take on wall street and big business. >> together, we have sent the message that we'll echo from wall street to washington, from maine to california. >> reporter: and while secretary clinton's campaign may have been bruised, she tried not to show it. striking a note of confidence tuesday night. >> not whether you get knocked down that matters.

>> reporter: but sources close to the campaign tell nbc news top aids are taking stock of the strategy, including a sharper focus on wall street, a message that's rallied young voters around sanders. >> we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to once again threaten main street. i will fight to reign in wall street. you know what? i know how to do it. >> reporter: in a memo, clinton's campaign manager tried to calm jittery supporters. writing, the nomination will likely be won in march, not february, pointing to clinton's strength in super tuesday states, which are larger and more diverse, playing to her appeal among minority communities. >> we also have to break through the barriers of bigotry. african-american parents shouldn't have to worry that their children will be harassed, humiliated, even shot because of the color of their skin. >> reporter: while the campaign is trying to down play the loss,

neighboring vermont, the clintons have strong roots here, too. new hampshire is where president bill clinton famously called himself the comeback kid, and where secretary clinton beat barack obama in 2008. >> thank you. >> reporter: but now, it's the place that put bernie sanders on the map. >> thank you, new hampshire! now, it's on to nevada, south carolina and beyond. [ applause ] >> sources close to the campaign say both hillary and bill clinton expressed concerns about the campaign. now, they're bringing on a new strategist, one of the top officials from president obama's re-election campaign. expect more outreach to the young voters who overwhelmingly prefer sanders. the only demographic clinton won with voters, 65 and older. senator sanders will work to improve his support among african-americans. today, meeting with reverend al sharpton. back to you. >> kristen welker, thank you very much.

nbc's political director, moderator of "meet the press." hillary clinton knew she was going to lose. i don't know they knew they'd lose this badly. where do they go from here? >> they have to worry about a couple things. number one, not to panic. the worse it can get the more they panic. they have a money problem. bernie sanders out-raised her in january and will again. they don't have the ability to shoot out an e-mail and raise a bunch of money. the next contest is not south carolina. it's nevada. this is a race that suddenly is very tight there. it's very possible sanders beats her in nevada, too. then that race takes the one in south carolina to a point it won't be so easy for her. now, she has to deal with outside forces she can't control. rumors about michael bloomberg, the former new york city mayor getting in. rumors about joe biden.

difficult three weeks. if the campaign panics at any point, maybe overcorrects, it could be in even worse shape in a month from now. >> rest your voice for a second. we want you to comment on the republican side of things. donald trump topped the latest polls last night. 75 polls heading into the new hampshire primary. voters turned out for him in force on tuesday. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is already in the next battleground state, south carolina. >> good morning. south carolina, where the next primary is ten days away. donald trump likes to boast he's a winner and he proved it in a huge way last night. more than doubling his closest competitor, john kasich. this is a candidate who has re-defined republican politics and ran away with new hampshire. tell me it's a revolution

triumphant triumphant. >> we are going to make america great again. >> reporter: the brash billionaire turned politician, racking up his first win. >> we want to thank the people of new hampshire. right? do we love the people of new hampshire! >> reporter: extending an olive branch of sorts to his republican rivals. >> i wanted to congratulate the other candidates, okay? now that i got that out of the way -- >> reporter: taking aim at the democrat who carried new hampshire. >> i heard parts of bernie's speech. he wants to give away our country, folks. we're not going to let it happen. >> reporter: winning the war for second, ohio governor john kasich, whose optimistic tone primary. >> the light overcame the darkness of negative campaign. [ applause ] and you made it happen. >> reporter: earlier, he was reflective with nbc news. away. the little engine that can. >> reporter: a week removed from

fell into fifth place, acknowledging in blunt terms that his poor debate performance cost him. >> our disappointment tonight is not on you. it's on me. it's on me. i did not -- i did not do well on saturday night, so listen to this, that will never happen again. >> reporter: jeb bush, sandwiched in the middle of the pack. >> this campaign is not dead. we're going on to south carolina. >> reporter: bush aids telling nbc news, they're rising as rubio fades. ted cruz is looking for the first in the south primary next week. >> we go to south carolina, the palmetto state. washington liberals may find south carolina far less hospitable hospitable. >> reporter: cruz releasing a new ad, mocking the republican front runner. >> i got the trump action figure. >> no way, it's huge. >> what does he do?

>> reporter: trump firing back. >> ted cruz, the worst kind of washington insider who just can't be trusted. >> reporter: meanwhile, chris christie lagging behind in digits. >> just not enough. not enough tonight, that's okay. >> reporter: instead of a planned trip to south carolina today, the new jersey governor will head home, where he'll decide the future of his campaign. >> a tough night for chris christie and for carly fiorina and ben carson, as well. i flew down with john kasich from new hampshire overnight. he was clearly elated, even a little bit stunned by last night's results. as he told me, i think we're really on to something, with the positive nature of this campaign. matt and savannah? >> peter alexander, thank you very much. donald trump joins us fresh off the win in new hampshire. good morning. good to have you here. >> good morning. >> known you more than 30 years. you've always said you're a winner.

polls and officially made you a winner. how does it feel? >> it's great. the people from new hampshire are great. i've had a bonding relationship with them a long time. i've been up there long before the political thing. we did better than anticipated. we would have rallies where ten times the number of people would show up than we expected. we got to see it from an early point. i think south carolina, frankly, is going to be similar to that. >> you doubled up on john kasich. you've said you are sure you can beat hillary clinton or bernie sanders. are you the favorite to be the next president of the united states? >> that, i don't know. i don't want to talk about favorites. i think we're doing very well. we have something special. two days ago, i was in south carolina and we filled up the stadium. it was packed with people. it's a movement. people want to see a smart country. they want to see us take the country back. they want great deals, not horrible deals. we lose money with trade. we can't win with the military. we can't beet at isis.

not being able to beat isis. it doesn't work that way. this country doesn't win anymore. >> new hampshire reordered things. who is your biggest competition now, is it kasich? cruz in south carolina? >> great question. i think all of them. they're all accomplished people. they're governors and senators. they're all very good people. maybe, you know. but i think, probably, i wouldn't want to pick one. they're close enough, and we'll see what happens. they're all accomplished people. >> it's serious now, mr. trump. i mean, now people are going to take a good, hard look at you and say, can he be the leader of the free world? can he be our president? >> they've been looking at me, matt, six months. >> now this new hampshire win says, this guy is on track. when it comes to parents in this country, they want their kids to be able to look up to the president. they want them to be able to admire the president. you were on with us last week

you said, i'm trying to become more statesmanlike, more subdued. this week, you continued using some words, repeating a word that a supporter said to you at an event that i'm not going to repeat here. is that sats tatesmanlike? >> we had 5,000 people in a snowstorm, in a blizzard, and everybody was having a good time. a woman, not a man, shouted out this word, and then shouted it out again. >> she didn't have to repeat it. >> we had a good time and it world. >> you're a presidential candidate and we have to bleep show? time, got a standing ovation. everybody was up and down, standing, screaming. it's one of the reasons i won. you have to be yourself. now, as i get -- look, i was a good student at the best school and all that stuff. i know what to do and whatnot to do. i will say this, as you get closer, you act differently.

the people went out and voted for me and that's why we got the numbers we did. look, this country, political correctness is killing us. >> is it political correctness or good manners, temperament? >> it wasn't the worst thing in the world. it was a woman and it was a repeat. i said, you should never say that word. >> then sarcastically repeated the word. >> did i reprimand the person? >> you can't reprimand if you're going to say it yourself. when are you going to release your tax returns? >> they're being worked on now. >> what's the hold up? >> i guarantee the biggest ever doing. it's complicated stuff. we will be releasing that. >> will people be surprised at the rate you pay, lower or higher than expected? >> i fight like hell not to pay a lot of tax. every politician probably does.

i want to pay taxes. i fight like hell not to pay taxes. i hate the way the government spends my money. >> big winner in new hampshire, donald trump, thank you for being here. >> thank you very much. now to the surprise second place finisher on the republican side. ohio governor john kasich. he made his way to south carolina over night and will look to capitalize there on this momentum. governor, good morning and congratulations. >> thank you. we're very happy. >> i saw you on your bus in new hampshire, and you definitely were feeling this coming. what do you think made the difference in the final days? was it something you said, or was it the faltering of other candidates? >> no, i don't think it was the faltering. we were on our way up anyway. we do have great grassroots people, which we'll be able to use throughout the country. we'll be building teams everywhere we are. secondly, i had a positive message. as you know, savannah, i was the only one with a really positive message. i always felt that will light

political campaign where we could say what we're for. bringing families together, creating jobs, making sure no one gets left behind. that message was used consistently for the last -- well, i've been doing it most of my lifetime -- but a very strong message about all of that. i think, finally, it broke through, along with the fact that our tv commercials were positive. i had so many millions of dollars spent against me. we overcame it. >> i'm glad you said the light can overcome the darkness and your positive message resonated with voters. you're behind a guy who is way ahead in the polls and has a habit of when somebody gets close to him, talking about donald trump, targeting that person with negativity. can your positive message hold up under that withering attack candidates? >> well, matt, here's the thing, somebody wants to mess with me, guy.

be a marshmallow and have somebody pound me. look, i was a congressman, balanced the budget, i was the military reformer, i've been the governor of ohio. all those positions, we've seen jobs created and problems solved. we're not going to sit back and take a pounding from anybody, we're going to tell people what we're for. in my speech last night at the close of the voting, you know, it's gotten rave reviews, which i'm grateful for. i'm talking about bringing people together and reviving the spirit of america. >> governor kasich, you gave your resume. it's impressive. you've been in government many, many years. not to take anything away from your strong finish last night, donald trump still beat you by 20 something points. this is a year where it seems like voters don't want the establishment. they might feel you represent that. >> he had 65% that didn't vote for him.

people that when you take the votes, you don't have them together, he gets that kind of a showing. we're going to see how it goes, savannah. nobody thought i'd run for president. no one thought i'd raise the money when i decided to. no one thought i'd make the debates or get to new hampshire. as some people have said, in fact, my two daughters said, daddy, we win you won because we're not so sure mr. trump will last. but we'll see what happens. we'll see what happens. it's a long, long road, all the way to the nomination. at some point, we're going to be going to the midwest. we're going to be going to pennsylvania and ohio and michigan and illinois. just wait. >> all right. ohio governor john kasich, appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you very much. let's bring chuck todd back in. chuck, on to the republicans now. we know who had the best night, donald trump. john kasich had a good night, as well. who had the worst night? >> i think -- i guess you have to say chris christie.

it didn't help him. it certainly hurt rubio. marco rubio arguably had equally as bad of a night. christie did worse. i don't know -- he's not going to qualify for saturday's debate, as far as the criteria. campaign. that's why he's in new jersey carolina. ropes. south carolina, matt, is going to be a blood bath. we have about ten days. jeb bush, trump, ted cruz, john kasich, marco rubio. it could be a circular firing squad. who goes after who? when you asked donald trump who his chief rival is now, i'd say ted cruz. he won one. as things go south, he should have a natural constituency out there. i think you'll see cruz and trump fight it out. bush, kasich and rubio fight to see who can be the last remaining establishment

>> chuck todd, thank you very much. we have ary ricola on the way to you. let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker. >> we have a lot of cold air coming in. also, a beautiful day out west. they could use rain in southern california today. 88 degrees. you look at what's happening in minneapolis today. 13 for a high. wind chills near zero. we have a little bit of a clipper bringing lake-effect snow that will continue to pile up over the next 48 hours. all year long you worked hard to take care of business and take care of the people who matter most. so when your tax refund arrives, make it go a little further at walmart. from electronics, to home decor, even tires, get low prices on everything you need to get more fun out of your tax refund.

>> that's your latest weather. matt? >> al, thanks very much. coming up, will one of the biggest stars of the u.s. women's soccer team skip the olympics? what hope solo is saying about her zika concerns. first, this is "today" on

hunter, speaks out for the first time in nearly five years. on trending, a solution to the problem we i guess i never really gave much thought to the acidity in any foods. never thought about the coffee i was drinking having acids. it never dawned on me that it could hurt your teeth. my dentist has told me

and that sounded really scary to me, and i was like well can you fix it, can you paint it back on, and he explained that it was not something that grows back, it's kind of a one-time shot and you have to care for it. he told me to use pronamel. it's gonna help protect the enamel in your teeth. it allows me to continue to drink my coffee and to eat healthier, r and it was a real easy tswitch to make. not yet. not yet! pull the peach!

while most places really didn't see any substantial accumulation overnight some of those bands can toss down a quick coating. so some slick spots may be around for the morning drive. by noon today those snow showers are headed out to the east. unfortunately, the cold and wind won't be leaving anytime soon. steady winds will keep our wind chills in the 3-10 range all day. highs should barely make it to the low 20s. sun will try and welcome aboard my starship. ahoy, mateys! it's full of things i love... like me brave crew... and my fellow space adventures and free of things i

group's presence online. >> isil used terror not only for recruitment and propaganda, but also to hack and release sensitive information about u.s. military personnel. >> five dozen isis-linked arrests were made in the u.s. last year. a flight from boston to san diego had to be diverted. an intoxicated passenger became abusive and threatened crew members. the man was taken away to the delight of fellow passengers. [ applause ] airport officials say the man is not facing charges. in politics, the big story, donald trump and bernie sanders winning big in new hampshire. sanders topping hillary clinton by more than 20 points. trump winning big over a crowded republican field. he joined us in our last half hour and we asked him if he's now the overall favorite in the presidential race. >> i think we're doing very

we have something very special. two days ago, i was in south carolina and we filled up the stadium. it was packed with people. there's something going on. it's a movement. people want to see a smart country. >> senator marco rubio ended up in fifth place in new hampshire. he's still in new hampshire and joins us live. good to see you. thank you for getting up early. >> i'm up early every day. thank you. >> up late and up early in this case. >> yeah. >> you said last night to your supporters that you were disappointed. very straight forward about it. you said the loss is not on them, it's on you. it strikes me that this was really the first time you owned up to saturday night's debate being not a great performance for you and having an effect. do you think you should have said something sooner, been more authentic and maybe it would have salvaged the moment? >> that's not the right analysis of it. a debate is a debate and i don't think the people at home analyze it like the media. the problem is 24 hours later,

that's what people heard about. they heard that somebody bad happened saturday night with rubio. when you see the margins, very close, that's enough in a race like this. my supporters did everything they needed to do. we finished shorter than we wanted because of me. it's something that won't ever happen again. we have eight debates in this campaign so far. i've done great in all of it except 90 seconds worth of it. i won't ever happen again. this election is too important. it's not just about winning the election but what is at stake here. you won't see anyone work harder or more passionately, not just to win an election but turn the country around. >> you say it will never happen again. you feel it was a bad performance. a lot of political analysts are saying it was something more serious. it was exposing a flaw in you as

it to a lack of depth. >> it's absurd. no one in this race, for example, has shown greater depth, knowledge, understanding or better judgment on the foreign policy issues than i have. the fact of the matter is, that debate was 2 hours and 15 minutes long. i got asked a host of questions on complex things and i answered every single question with as much or more depth than anyone else in the race. i'm not worried about that part. i think both our record on the issues are clear and, moving forward, we'll make it clear. there is not an issue before this country that i cannot discuss in depth with anyone in the race. when it comes to foreign policy and national security, i have more experience and have done more work than all the other republican candidate res combined. >> you are somebody to spouts said.

>> i'm on the air with you now and you can ask me any question you want on any policy issue you'd like and we can discuss it in depth. i don't know what you're going to ask me. i do this every day. i don't think that's the narrative that's taking hold. i think the narrative was, he had a bad debate and people heard about it on the news. where it really hurts is you can't get any other message out. all they want to ask you about is the debate that night. it's on me and it won't happen again. we're going to get back to the fundamentals of what made us successful in the past. we're going to get there. >> you saw the results last night, the margin of victory for donald trump and john kasich had a good night. do you think anyone can stop donald trump from getting the nomination right now? >> sure. donald trump is not going to be the republican nominee. new hampshire is a state that has been badly hurt by, for example, losing jobs to china, the closing of mills, loss of our manufacturing base. donald has tapped into that and it's an important topic that needs to be discussed, without a doubt.

can't tell people what's wrong. you have to tell people how you're going to fix it. we had a conversation about depth. i mean, where are the policy ideas about how we're going to bring manufacturing back? it's not enough to say you're going to do it. voters deserve to know how you're going to do it. i don't know how you're going to continue to run a campaign into south carolina and beyond without specifically outlining policy ideas on these issues. i think that's where the issue of depth that you just asked about comes into play. i can tell you we have a plan. i know how we're going to bring manufacturing back. reform. our tax doed expense world. disadvantage globally. we're in the part of the campaign where the race is narrower, less people in the race, and there is going to be a focus on policy. we'll see how people hold up. they'll have to step up and outline their solutions to these

>> marco rubio, thank you for >> thank you. let's get a check of the weather now from al. >> announcer: today's weather is brought to you by kay jewelers. every kiss begins with kay. >> guys, we're looking at some lake-effect snow showers around the great lakes, but also seeing snow from washington all the way up to boston. what we're going to be really watching over the next 48 to 72 hours, the great lakes, there's almost no ice cover. that keeps the lake-effect snow machine cranking. for today, we're going to look at more snow showers, flurries extending all the way down into charleston, west virginia. lake-effect snow showers get going and will continue with heavy snow at times through tomorrow and on into your early friday. look at the snowfall totals. from cleveland to buffalo, we're talking about upwards of 14 inches of snow in erie, p.a. michigan, up to 10 inches. syracuse, new york, 6 to 12 inches of snow. thare moving through cincinnati

if i never get to build my mansion in georgia, or drive a sports car up the coast of california in my hand man baby, i could die a happy man oh, i could die a happy man you know i could i could die, i could die a

year old girl was struck by a car in avondale moments ago. this is happening at the intersection of glenwood and reading. the girl told investigators she had pain in her arm and leg. she was taken to children's hospital as a precaution. police say the driver took off in the car in question. investigators are looking for a small blue s-u-v seen leaving the scene. we have a crew at the scene getting the latest. update. are moving through cincinnati this morning. while most places really didn't see any substantial accumulation overnight some of those bands can toss down a quick coating. so some slick spots may be around for the morning drive. by noon today those snow showers are headed out to the east. unfortunately, the cold and wind won't be leaving anytime

steady winds will keep our wind chills in the 3-10 range all day.

jenna's morning jam, "smooth sail sailin". >> i like it. >> he'll be performing here on march 9th. >> want to go? >> no, performing here. yes, i want to go. >> think they'll let me in? >> i think so. >> i would let you? >> you've let me in before. >> this is going to be huge. >> how huge? >> so huge. >> donald or bernie would say, huge, huge, huge, huge! okay? >> huge because? >> we have ryan reynolds and the incredible cast of "deadpool." >> which is unbelievably funny. >> and so inappropriate. >> it's bad, right? do not take your children.

superhero marvel comic movie. >> and we have forest whitaker. >> and thomas rhett. this is so huge. >> huge. last night? we'll go to willie and tamron who are in manchester for us this morning. hey, guys. >> good morning. we're missing a big one. >> ryan, forest whitaker. >> we'll keep them company. don't worry. >> you mentioned the huge thing. we basically got queens versus brooklyn. donald trump and bernie sanders. >> is that a subway series? >> could be. as you've heard, donald trump won on the republican side with hampshire. john kasich coming in an impressive second place at 16%. ted cruz at 12%. it went down from there. jeb bush on the list, marco rubio, as well. i think the fact that donald trump matched the polling is what a lot of people are looking at. he underperformed in the polls in iowa.

most of the polls leading up and he delivered. >> he overperformed, and he had under performed in iowa. the official gop front runner spoke last night at his victory party. here's what he said. >> we have to thank the candidates because they really read -- we have some talented people. to be victorious against some of these people, even if it's for one week, but i believe it'll be many weeks, okay? but they really are terrific. new hampshire, i want to thank you. we love you. we're going to be back a lot. we're not going to forget you. you started it. remember, you started it. >> donald trump wins. john kasich is interesting. a lot of people wonder, what happens to second place? is it one of the four or five guys? john kasich emerged. does he have the message, the power, resources to go and compete? marco rubio is another guy

he fell to fifth place. obviously, the debate performance where chris christie tore him apart was devastating. >> he could not recover from that. saying what chris christie referred to, 20-second memorized speech. going back to kasich, i was at his headquarters last night and willie and i were talking. the message john kasich is presenting is polar opposite to what we're hearing from donald trump. the tell it like it is. really going negative as he needs to in the trump arena. john kasich is saying, negative politics is old school. it's what he said last night. a lot of his supporters, they broke out into cheers on this second place. it means, of course, they live to fight another day in south carolina. >> of all the fights we've seen on the republican side, we haven't really seen trump and kasich go at it. i interviewed trump this morning and asked him about john kasich. you started to see the early signs. he said, well, he got lucky. the state of ohio, they've done

he's shaping, how do i go after this guy who came in second? chris christie, governor of new jersey, finished a disappointing sixth. he invested so much in the state. instead of heading to south carolina, as he planned, he's back in new jersey this morning, assessing his campaign. he spent more than 70 days campaigning in new hampshire. as i said, came in sixth place. >> after criticizing rubio so hard, many are saying, how is it that chris christie didn't benefit? he essentially took out rubio, but his own campaign at the same time. we'll see if chris christie can lift to fight another day. projected winner for the democratic race, bernie sanders. a little color here, bernie sanders before this was announced, playing basketball with his grandchildren. this is how he was shaking off the nerves. as you know, back in new york, he was always a favorite to win here. but this gap, i believe they

it's the largest gap between two candidates on the democratic side. after the polls, bernie sanders rallied his supporters. here's a little of what he said. >> together, we have sent the message that we'll echo from wall street to washington, from maine to california. [ applause ] and that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super pacs. >> so bernie sanders winning by 22 points. i think a lot of people -- we talked to experts even yesterday -- yeah, he's up 20 points in the polls but there's no way it'll be that way on election night.

it was 22 points. he won by 11 points among women. part of hillary clinton's campaign is she is a historic female candidate. she lost by women overall by double digits. night. >> i know i have work to do, particularly with young people, but i'll repeat again what i have said this week -- [ applause ] -- even if they are not supporting me now, i support them. because i know -- [ applause ] i know i've had a blessed life, but i also know what it's like to stumble and fall. >> well, that's her message to the young women out there. we'll see if there is adjustments to that. guys, back to new york, it is significant she lost women by 11%.

in iowa, we saw her lose handily to young people. we saw the same thing. it is what some are referring to as hillary woman problems. we'll see how her campaign adjusts to that moving on. >> guys, good job out there. next key date in politics, south carolina republican primary and the democratic caucus, both on the 20th. >> that reminds me of the key date we have coming up this weekend. valentine's day. >> february 14th. >> we know what natalie is going to do from earlier. >> nah, nah, nah. >> what are you going to do valentine's day? >> i'm going to go to bed early. >> listen, there's a prediction about valentine's day and "ghost busters 2." bill murray's character is talking to a psychic. >> you had another date in mind.

end of the world will be on february 14th in the year 2016. >> valentine's day. bummer. >> wow. >> the end of the world? >> i'll hold my little babies, i guess. >> we know what you're going to do. >> how about the kids? >> ew. >> what? >> i will have a nice family dinner. big, big, big -- >> thank you for taking it there. what's your last meal? >> rib eye steak, cream spinach, steak fries, apple cobbler and ice cream on top. >> you had me at the rib eye steak. >> and bacon. >> i'm hungry. >> a lot of people have been going to our facebook page because we've got today's take facebook page. it's day 11 of 25 days of prizes. this prize, especially with the

"deadpool" hitting theaters on friday. >> ryan reynolds stars in the former special forces operative, gets turned into a superhero. we have the love interest in the film and ed, who plays ajax. the villain who gave "deadpool"

>> oh, yeah. >> "deadpool." >> this has been a passion project of yours for 11 years. >> 11, yes. >> this is not your typical superhero movie. >> no, it's unorthodox from the opening credits to the very tip tip-top after the credits scene, it was as unusual as it gets. to have a character that lives and works in the "x-men" universe, but also meta aware, there is an ultra violence cut by ultra comedy, it's unusual, yeah. >> it's hilarious. it's rated r, plus, plus. >> yup. >> it definitely earns the r rating. not for kids. >> no, no, no. although, my 1-year-old daughter loved this film. >> really? >> she liked it. five diapers up. she was into it.

>> we need that early in life. >> morena, you're no stranger to the superhero genre, being in "goth "goth "gotham." that was probably a little different though. >> it was nice to have a strong female lead. it was nice to embody her and play somebody who can give it back to that guy. >> literally. >> exactly. >> and t.j., you are hilarious bartender. >> you son of a gun. >> you did it again! >> there is a scene, i understand, that when you first see him, when he comes back, after the whole whatever happened to his face happened to his face, you couldn't keep it together on set, i hear. >> i couldn't. he was fine.

>> i would break out at my own jokes, definitely. he's a great improviser so we were able to go back and forth and riff the entire time. this is live television, you know, but it was a blast. it really was. >> you bleeped yourself. >> yeah. this is what's real. it was great. >> amazing. >> stop it. you're making us very nervous. >> it's what i do on tv. >> we need a bleeping button attach attached. >> a lot of actors say it's fun being the good guy but so much fun playing the bad guy. >> it's fun when it's an interesting character. whether you're good or bad, if it's three dimensional, has arc, you have a director who pushes you to your limits and wants to work with you and make it interesting, then it's great. this was a dream role in many ways.

incredible, between the two of you. what did you have to do to get into character? >> he was incredible. he was like -- he was incredible. he spent months and months and months training and fighting. he plays the villain. i mean, he's from milwaukee. he has a british accent that's just for the film. you can't have a villain -- that was, i think, a dedication i've never seen before. daniel day-lewis levels of dedication. >> i'm still doing it. >> absolutely. >> still into it. >> your fight scenes were amazing. >> i do a lot of my own action stuff. some of the actions were this. >> pour a drink. >> a bigger drink, take it away. >> oh, yeah, yeah. >> i wasn't able to do this at all. i have a forearm issue. >> we talked about that. tennis elbow. >> from ping-pong, table tennis. >> i get the sense of what it must have been like on set with you guys. >> my face hurt.
