good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a monday morning. willie is in forsmatt. watching that live yesterday, i think i chewed off half of my hand. it was hard to watch. >> matt is probably ut today recovering from watching that. jordan spieth, arguably one of the best players in the world. the biggest meltdown on one of the biggest stages in the world. he's a young player and will be back and recover from this. we'll walk through exactly what happened. >> he had a great tournament until the back nine. first, our top story. politics. all about the race for delegates in the presidential race. a race that donald trump complains is stacked against him. here's where things stand. trump has the over all lead. over the weekend, ted cruz completed his sweep of colorado's 34 delegates. bernie sanders added another win to his string of victories over hillary clinton, this time in wyoming. they'll split the delegates evenly. let's begin with hallie jackson. she's following the republican

>> good morning. doonld trump is hoping a win in new york will help him reset his campaign. though a new nbc analysis shows he is benefitting from the delegate rules, he's still taking aim at his rivals and the system. >> reporter: for the first time in four days -- >> there's nothing like a trump rally, folks. >> reporter: back on the campaign trail and back on the attack. donald trump bashing the boston globe for its fake front page, warning of deportations, riots, if he's president. >> they made up the whole front page, which is really no differenu from th whole paper for the whole thing. >> reporter: he's ready for another rally in new york today, where the latest poll shows trump beating his closest competitors by double digits across almost every demographic group. a win in new york would make ite easier forteim to lock up the nomination. if that doesn't happen, his campaign seems to be struggling with plan b. how to handle a contested ymconvention.

arguing it's set up against him. >> we've got a corrupt system. it's not right. we're supposed to be a democracy. we're supposed to be, you vote and the vote means something. >> reporter: his newly hired right-hand man, a delegate wrangler, sounding secretive, explaining their strategy. >> there's the law, there's hics and -- i'm ncu going to get into what tactics are used. >> reporter: taking aim at ted cruz. the cruz campaign touting its superior organization now pushing back, calling it, quote, no surprise trump's team will sh out with falsehoods to distract from their failure. as cruz cleans up in colorado. >> together, we won all 21. >> reporter: he's acknowledging how hard it'll be to win the nomination outright. >> the odds of going to a contested convention in cleveland have become much, much higher. >> reporter: but cruz, confident now he has what it takes to beat trump in cleveland if this campaign gets that far.

will go in with an overwhelming advantage. on a subsequent ballot, we're going to win the nomination and earn a majority. >> on that delegate front, a cruz campaign aide tells me i trump doesn't like the system, he shouldn't be part of it. cruz is campaigning in california today. john kasich, donald trump in upstate new york. after what was, for trump, a relatively quiet weekend. the first time in five months, by some counts, he hasn't called into or appeared on one of the sunday political shows. >> laying low for a little bit. let's turn over to the democrats. hillary clinton up big in new york, but bernie sanders keeps winning states. kristen welker joins us with more on the democratic battle. >> great to see both of you. clinton and sanders will spend another day crisscrossing new york. sanders gained a little momentum over the weekend with the win in wyoming. he essentially split the delegates evenly with secretary clinton, making the fight here critical.

battle for new york, sanders and clinton are becoming con ten tentious on the trail. >> we have someone who rejects the idea that president obama has made progressli. >> secretary cliopon has been going after us along with her surrogates very, very hard. >> reporter: sanders backing off his charge that clinton is unqualified, but now accusing her of lacking judgment. >> she may have the experience to b president of the united states. no one can argue that. in terms of her judgment, it's something that's clearly lacking. >> reporter: s ders picked up another win in wyoming this weekend, his seventh state in recent weeks, but a poll shows clinton topping sanders in new york. he released this new ad, touting his big apple roots. >> brooklyn born. he knows we're all in this together. >> reporter: meanwhile, clinton is dogged by her use of a

over the weekend, president obama called the move careless, but also defended clinton. >> i continue to believe that she has not jeopardized america's national security. >> reporter: some are questioning whether clinton's top surrogate helps ore hurts s s or hurts her campaign, after bill clinton responded arguably last week to protesters. sanders called on the former president to apologize. >> the young people were trying to get good television, and they did. but that doesn't mean that i was most effective in answering them. >> he takes defending and protesting me very seriously, and i appreciate that. >> reporter: as hillary clinton looks to rebound from a string of losses, "saturday night live" having a little fun with it all. >> who can remember how many states i lost in a row? is it two or three? >> i'm here to fill seven holes in your walls. >> despite clinton's dust ups in

insists he's the best person to speak to his wife's record and knows what it takes to be president. president clinton will be back on the trail today. the democratic race heating up. >> we have a great group assembled here. let's bring in nbc news political analyst nicolle wallace and mark halperin, managing editor of bloomberg politics. >> bill clinton said he probably didn't handle the protester the right way. a presidential candidate is campaigning wite a husband who is the president of the united states and has a legacy of his own that he has to defend on the trail. how compltuicated s this for hillary? >> super complicated. we saw it year ago when he campaigned for his wife and she lost. the next days in new york are going to be incredibly important for the nomination. not just a question of who wins. hillary clinton is heavily favored. but how the clintons navigate the trail.

ground than new york city and new york state. we'll see how president and hillary clinton deal with it. see if sanders can narrow the gap in a state that's critically important to his c nces. >> anything about using bill clinton as a surrogate? you mentioned, they're using him again today. >> i think after thnt happened, there were probably discussions that occurred behind the scenes. in fact, bill clinton was asked atuuestion bout a different matter and said, i'll stay on message today. message received. look at the polling. he's widely popular with democrats. again, he served as president and ws the best person to make the case for his wife. having said that, i don't think an incident like what we saw in philadelphia hurts secretary clinton in the primary election. i think heading into a general, he'll have to be more cautious. >> we saw in kristen's piece, the president of the united states, once again, speaking out

the e-mails of hillary clinton. he said he doesn't think she affected national security. >> i can't imagine anyone on the white house staff wanted him to say that. or anyone on the national security staff wanted hgm to say something about an ongoing fbi investigation. the president's first meetings of the day are usually with the fbi directors. i think the political side of this is he has her back, and it's powerful. >> let's talk about the republicans. donald trump, no phoneathon on sunday. >> counts as progress. >> hallie reported. does that mean you won the argument f last week that trump can change? >> every woman likes to say, i told you so. chuck todd, i told you so. after his epic fail in wisconsin, the question was whether he was capable of evolving as a candidate. i think he's proven that he is and he has. what i think is more promising for donald trump is that he's

has worked for him since he descended the escalator in june. he is the only one that can stand up against the rigged system. a lot of trump voters. >> trump indicating he's taking this seriously. hiring a wrangler to get him through the convention. >> when you look at his argument that the system is corrupt, they compare toit it to the football game. you have to get the ball over the goal line. they can comment and do delegate maneuvering and do the disturb down. when you're in the position to explain the rules to people, instead of saying, a vote is a vote and everything counts, it maybe puts you on the defensive a little bit and has you forced to talk about a message you may not want to talk about. >> last question for mark. is that a winning argument, to complain about the rules? is there a no whining rule in

trump to say, i'm getting cheated. >> get ready for three months of schoolhouse rock. we'll learn how delegates are picked and chosen. 50 states, 50 sets of rules. watch it all play out. each side will have to spin like crazy. there's no right answers. >> fun having you all here. >> thank you. >> love it. >> see you again sometime. also this morning, we're learning more about the shooting death of former nfl player will smith. he was gunned down in new orleans over the weekend. a suspect has been arrested. there are a lot of questions this morning about what led to this shooting. nbc's gabe gutierrez has the latest for us. good morning. >> good morning. makeshift memorial at the scene and a court hearing is set for later today. the alleged gunman's attorney says his client is innocent and felt threatened himself before he opened fire. now, there are new questions about whether this was road rage, revenge or something else. >> reporter: this morning, police are trying to piece together the motive behind the

orleans saints most beloved players. >> male down with about six gunshot wounds to the chest. >> reporter: former defensive end will smith gunned down late saturday night. >> reports a body. ems notified. >> reporter: his wife shot in the leg and rushed to the hospital. the chaos, steps from wayne's home. >> i walked out of the house. there was screaming and yelling. then i heard, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. it was rapid succession. >> reporter: police say a hummer rear ended smith's mercedes. drivers exchanging words until one opened fire. >> does this seem like a road rage incident? >> seemed that way to me. >> reporter: the driver of the hummer, 30-year-old cardell hayes, charged with second degree murder. his attorney says he'll plead not guilty and he was not the aggressor aggressor. >> not only did my client call 911, but my client secured a witness who was about to leave the scene. and my client waited for law enforcement to arrive. now, tell me if that's the

someone who is an animal out here, looking for blood. >> reporter: hayes once received a settlement from the city over the 2005 police shooting death of his father. earlier in the evening, smith had dinner with a former police officer named in the lawsuit. >> we have no information to suggest they knew one another or this was anything other than an accident that turned into a dispute that turned violent. >> reporter: the saints drafted smith back in 2004 from ohio state. pro bowler and part of the 2009 super bowl team. >> so rare these days in the nfl to have a player spend an entire career with one team. i think that's why this really resonates with the city and people of new orleans. >> smith's family says it is thankful for all the support and is asking for privacy as it grieves for the loss of a devoted husband, father and friend. meanwhile, the suspect's attorney says that that previous settlement with the citythad

the navy uses intelligence and the aircraft. he was spying for either china or taiwan. he was born in taiwan and came to the u.s. with his family when he was 14 years old, speaking no english, and became a naturalized citizen in 2008. the military charging documents are heavily redac d with all the details blacked out. they charge him with espionage, failing to report to places he visited on foreign travel, patronizing a prostitute and adultery. he's accused of revealing intelligence information that was classified at the secret level. that's a step below top secret, which covers the military's most closely guarded information. he's being held in a navy brig in virginia. >> pete williams, thank you. now to an nbc news exclusive. cia director john brenn says his agency won't engage in water boarding, even if the next president ordered the agency to do so. the issue has been thrust back into the spotlight during the campaign for the white house. donald trump and ted cruz

horrific and premeditated. they believe that his father intentionally left him in a car to die because he wanted a life free of re ponsibilities. >> reporter: as his trial begins today, justin ross harris has never waivered. almost two years after leaving his 22 mth old son, cooper, rustrapped in a baby seat in a sweltering hot suv where he died, harris' defense has never changed. >> cooper's death was a horrible, gut-wrenching ac dent. >> reporter: autho ities aren't budging either. they say cooper's death was deliberate. that he was murdered by his father, who was living a double life. >> evidence is showing us he has this second life he's living, with alternate personalities and alternate personas. >> reporte : at a 2014 pre-trial hearing, police dropped bombshells, alleging harris was exchanging sexually explicit texts and pictures with up to

trapped in a car with temperatures that climbed to 120 degrees. three of the women were under 18 years old. police say two months before his son's death, harris researched child deaths in overheated cars and life without children. >> proved motive because he was unhappy in his marriage and wanted to live a child-free life. >> reporter: harris' defense attorney kis consistently pushed back. >> there's been no connection between the events of that day and the death of this child and this fantasy texting or whatever is. >> reporter: charged with 16 counts, including murder and child cruelty, harris has pled not guilty to all the allegations. >> morning, mrs. harris. >> reporter: harris is divorced from his wife, cooper's mother, but she say she does not think her son was murdered. >> she always stood by him. she always believed it was an accident. she never has waivered from that. there's no doubt in her mind

will say, he lost o.j. >> reporter: gill has only seen the first three episodes of ""the people versus o.g simpson," but called it misleading. he criticized marcia clark, telling the "post," i didn't pick her to lead the prosecution. saying, quote, she didn't heed the advice of our trial consultant who said not to pick african-american women. a strategy highlighted on the se 98ries. >> if i can make it black women, we're in good shape. >> why? >> they're sympathize with anybody coal. >> reporter: the panel that included eight african-american women acquitted simpson of double homicide. clark disputes the account, telling odhy that she was assigned to the case and never lobb d to be on it. for jury collection, clark called it untrue and utter non-sense that she wouldn't listen to the d.a.'s jury consultant. i understood very well what we were up against with the african-american community,

the question was never whether african-american jurors would be reluctant to vote guilty. the question was what to do about it. in 1995 with the trial underway, gar garcetti spoke to "today". >> by a 49-13 margin, blacks say he's not guilty. what does that disparity say t you? >> i'm not ure, other than i can go back to the beginning where people did not want to believe that mr. simpson could have done such a thing. >> reporter: 20 years after the verdict, fingers are still being pointed. clark tells savannah she's at peace with the effort she and her fellow prosecutors put? >> t i can say there was nothing more i could do. toe say i'm at peace with the verdict? no. i mean, no. justice was not done. >> while there are different versions of what happened behind the scenes, of course, they'll always be linked by the o.j.

many observers say the not guilty verdict ended gaacetti's political career. his son, mayor of los angeles right now. marcia clark, it also ended ha career, as well, as a prosecutor. >> she's now an author. >> well-published author. >> natalie, thank you. let's turn it over to al fr. a look at the weather. >> announcer: today's weather is brought to you by i hop. come together over breakfast. >> in the east, we've been whining about the cold air. the good news it's about done. we have a chilly start to the morning in the northeast. so in the great lakes. the good news is, we've broken the back of winter. we're looking at temperatures above n mal from the northeast to the mid-atlantic states. as you look at the next three days, up to 62 by thursda in new york city. 65 in richmond. charlotte, 57. 54 in clevelan peoria, a high on thursday of 66 degrees. good morning, everyone.

washington portraying anita hill. professor hill, thank you for being here. >> good to be here. >> is it hard to relive the memories? we played a piece of tape where we see you in the testimony. or in some ways, is it always with you? >> it's always with me. there are moments when i relive it more strongly. of course, seeing iou in film brings that back to me. it's important for us, i think, to re guve the story and continue to learn the lessons from it. so that's why t film is important. having a younger audience, 25 ye s is a long time. an entire generation has grown up and has never really witnessed this event. >> kerry washington not only portrays you, she's one of the executive producers of the film. you met with her. what was that experience like? what questions was she asking you? >> most importantly, i think she wanted to know not only how i felt during the confirmation

that really was encouraging. to have someone wanting to know, what was my thinking pattern? what was going on in my mind during this whole epise? >> i watched the film. i thought some people who aren't familiar with the bise events might say, well, gosh, maybe we'll never know what really happened there. if people think that, does that sit right with you? >> it doesn't sit right with me fbecause i think that sends a really wrong message for people who are going through some of these same things today. the idea that we can never know the truth, iths just not accurait. we can know the truth if we have the right processes in place. what i think the film shows very clearly is that the wrong processes could lead us to confusion. i think that's exactly what happened in 1991. >> when you think about that atmosphere and how difficult it was, and you look at our political atmosphere now, it

looks genteel by chair son omparison. yet, to be in the middle of it had to have been difficult. >> i wasn't genteel. it was d ficult at times and i think the film shows that clearly. >> we reached out to justice thomas who had no comment on the film. in the past, he wrote a memoir, consistently saying he is innocent of the allegation s s. have you ever ran into him? >> i don't thinkofhere is a need. he holds to his position, and i hold to mine. >> are you at peace with him being on the supreme court and your role in history? >> i'm at peace with my role in history. ihbon't think i have to become at peace with him on the supreme court. i think what we have to do though is underst and why my testimony and my experience -- and not only my experience, but

weren't called -- why that was so important to the integrity of the court and why it spoke directly to the character of the nominee at the time. >> professor anita hill, we appreciate your story. >> thank you. >> "confirmation" appears on hbo on april 16th. willie? coming up, the wildest moments and surprises from last night's i've been on my feel all day. i'm bushed! yea me too. excuse me...coming through! ride the gel wave of comfort with dr. scholls massaging gel insoles. they're proven to give you comfort. which helps you feel more energized ...all day long. i want what he has. eat up, buddy. you'll get it this time. yeah ok not too quick

ess,n,henou saw the fight, it was not balletic. it was made up on the fly. there was a certain amount of creative strategy that i think makes people smile. you realize, you go, that could happen with somebody that is that reactive. >> you were able to really put your input on how this would happen. >> i've always done that when it's come to the stunts and things. that's been kind of fun part. i know some actors step away from that, but i'm thinking, why would you not want to ride with a buffalo? why would you not? ever.body wants to kiss the girl. i get that part. but why do you -- would you give up the fun stuff? i never have. i've always put myself in the middle of it. >> i'm glad you brought up the buffalo. i was thinking tngt "dances with wolves" is one of the movies, if it is on at any time of the day or night, i have a compulsion. i have to watch the whole thing. it's not short. >> yeah. >> i watched many, many ho s.

watching it? >> i really don't. but i understand because it wasn't a plot movie, it was a journey. there's this idea, i think, that within all the jobs we do, everything we do on amp daily basis, sometimes when the lights go out and, specifically, with dances, you go on this journey. you don't know where it's going to go. it takes place when america was really pretty much the garden of eden. i mean, it was just -- it was just plentiful, if you can use that word. >> seems like you're doing so weofll. you're picking and choosing the roles you want to do, and you're living in california. beautiful place. what do you do when you're not working? >> you know, most of the time, it's experiencing what the kids are going through. i mean, we're -- just the way i was raised, i think there is a lot to be said with how you're raised. we're at all the little league games. you know, we're in the car constantly. we're trying to get the k s on

to go to threeifferent practices. poor little hayes in the middle is playing with 8 and 9 year olds and he's 6. he can hack it. there's going to be that, why was i always forced into leagues? then, of course, grace is my girly girl. she's sewing and dancing. bu pehen she sees the bisall bouncing in the backyard, i can feel her gravitate out w h the boys. but everything has to stop when she plays. >> sounds like life is good. the movie is calred "criminal." kevin costner, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> opens in theaters this friday. coming up next, legendy film maker ken burns is here to talk about the life of jackie robinson

film maker ken burns bringing his legendary insight on american history to the story of jackie robinson, who broke baseball's color barrier. take a look. >> jackie robinson laid the foundation for america to see its black citizens as subjects and not just objects. it meant that there were six and seven and eight-year-old boys who suddenly thought a black man was a hero. >> ken burns, good morning, sir. >> good to see you. >> you've assembled some pretty good voices in this film. >> yeah. >> i was struck about how active jackie robinson was in civil rights before he broke the color rrier. in 1947, martin lo t er uther king was saying robinson was a freedom rider before there were freedom riders.

no organized sit-ins, ept robinson is refusing to get up until he is served. rosa parks is a decade away from refusing t ygive up his seat. we think of him as just the person who turns the other cheek for hree years when, in fact, he is this fiery, competitive guy who will not accept seconb class citizenship and fights his whole life, before baseball, as a kid, during baseball and ut of baseball, as a civil rights leader before his death way too early. >> i was struck by how little i actually knew about jackio rocken rock n rocken -- robinson. he's painted one dimensionally. >> my co-producers and i felt that he had become a mythological figure and, therefore, the superficial thing we have for him. all of a sudden, we can remove that.

tyranny and tell you about the complicated person, good and bad, but also the much more interesting and, at the end of the day, much manufacture hee ore heroic. this is a beautiful love story. rachel and jackie. a man who loves his country but can't do it without the extraordinary woman by his side. >> do you think he grasped in april of '47 what he was stepping on to the field to do? he knew it was historic. but do you think he understood ly at he was in for, the good, bad and the ugly? >> i don't think anybody could predict the horrible abuse that he would face. i think branch rickey understood that of the people he was thinking of bringing up, jackie alone was the one who could do it. the one who could turn the cheek because he was understanding of what his role would be in history. if he could do this, he was opening the door for a whole bunch of people, including the president of the united states. when we spoke to the president and first lady, they were very

pioneer that permitted them to move into the spaces they've moved into. while they're two couples from two different times, they're representing the same aspirations. one day, we might finally live out the full meeting of our crow creator. we judge people on the content of character, not the color of their skin. >> he retires from baseball in 1956. still had a lot of life ahead for him. was it tough for him? >> us in the media talk the talk. jackie robinson walked the walk. he got up every day and said, i am going to make the world better for other people. he did it. i think he understood that there were going to be inevitable troubles, abuse and problems. but he never steered from that course. when you remove the sanitized madison avenue view of him, it

as we grapple with politicians, there was at the convention when the republicans switched from lincoln to somebody else. he watched the change. he was a republican, supported nixon initially, and back in '64, supporting the liberal rockefeller. it's a great story of america, too. >> you tell it so well. again, i was amazed by how little i knew. thinking irock n rocken -- robinson story. as only ken burns can do. you co-directed with your daughter and son-in-law. >> yeah. sarah burns and david mcmahon. >> it premieres tonight on pbs. part two airs tomorrow night. great to see you.

we're back at 8:48. even though it's not felt like spring just yet, you can still say so long winter by adding a pop of color to your home. the creator of style me pretty living has ideas that will cost next to nothing. i'm already sold. >> great and colorful. >> you promised me it's easy. >> my 7-year-old can do this. we can all do this. starting with wallpa thper, which is a huge decision. it's a big commitment. we're doing something more cost-effective. plus, you can swap it out with th se uons. what we've done, start with fabric. have fun with it. we're going florals, springy. you paint modl,odge on it. that's a glue. we've already done that. now all wt have to do is secure it to ohe back. start with the corner here.l?you just use packing tape to secure it.

want me to hold snit it? >> that' be great. >> this is a heavier fabric, canvasy. >> anything goes. >> when you turn it over and workmaround, you have this nice panel you can pop up there. transforms the room. >> it's cute and you didn't pay a lot for it, you can switch it with the seasons. >> i love this project. we e seeing these really ornate ceramic mirrors pop up in stories. story s -- stores. this is an inexpensive mirror, $19. painted it with a flat or matte paint, so it doesn't have the shine. mimic the look of mer ram ceramic. find all those things you got on vacation, christmas ornaments, my daughter's hair barrette. dip them in. submerge it, which i'm not going to do because i have a manicure. then you set it out to dry.

she definitely stoops to new lows to keep her social status. we have amazing guest stars this year. anna camp is one of her socialite rivalries. e of my dreams, if we have future seasons, season three, that tina fey will guest star as a character for jacqueline. it would be fun to act together. >> and you're back on broadway. >> yes. >> how are you doing all this? >> whoa. >> speaking of kicks, your leg gets up really high in the show, "she loves me," right? >> let's go. >> we're having a wonderful time. i mean, it's a very special experience, to have the audience come every single night. we perform for the group. it's a special thing. that group will never -- that group of people will never all be assembled again in the theater to watch that

ruple bogeyed on the 12th. when he got to land, he lands in the bunker. it's come apart at this point. he shoots a 7 on that par 3. then he sprayed his tee shots into the woods. he's an unflappable guy. he's an incredible guy. he made a birdie on the next hole. he couldn't push back. the winner was englishman danny willett. almost didn't play. the due dite for he and his wife was sunday, april 10th. the baby came a little early, their son zach. he said, the baby is here. mind if i slip away to augusta and play the masters? he did that with his young baby at home and won the masters tournament. amazing. this adds to jordan spieth's pain. as the previous champion, he is the one who has to slip the
