for 16 for marco rubio. what they will say is a good night is if he's in a close second in virginia. if he can beat cruz here. maybe pull a surprise up there in minnesota. that's what he's hoping to really has no way to go. he'd like to pull off not just texas but maybe an oklahoma, arkansas. they border texas. he's been spending a lot of money. he hopes to win in alaska. if he can win more than one state, it's a big deal for

sanders. sanders is targeting the states with the least diverse electorate. three up here plus oklahoma and the colorado caucuses. if she can sweep the south and win one or two of these, bernie sanders has a problem. >> this leads us back to the desk. nicolle wallace is joining savannah savannah. >> for the republican party, for years, there was always the talk about, there are fissures in the republican party between movement conservatives and the establishment. now it's a gaping crack. what happens? what happens to the republican party if trump emerges tonight and he's the nominee? >> in 2012, the rules changed about how you get delegates, to make it easier for an establishment front runner to seal up the nomination. >> excellent. good job. >> right? well done. there's a reason the country establishment.

point because of the rules put in place in 2012. >> irony alert. >> right. >> what is the reality of a third-party candidate? not talking about trump, but an actual republican who might say, i can put the party back together? >> you can't find an operative in washington who doesn't have their own scenario. it's mitt romney. it's rick perry. constitution party. it's -- maybe they can comen n commandeer the libertarian vote. if you want to run an independent campaign, you have to start tomorrow. michael bloomberg's people, who are seriously looking at this, they have basically said, if he doesn't make the decision to go tomorrow, as in march 2nd, you can't get on the ballot in the state of texas. if all these people want to do this, they have to start now. they can't wait another two weeks. >> take us inside your watching party. what state will you be watching

>> i'll be sober because i'll be here. you can't find a clear headed republican who says there is a realistic third-party scenario. they are moving from sort of depression to acceptance on the reality of trump is our party's standard bearer. i think that i am watching for this turn toward acceptance. trump is going to have a huge night. trump is all but certainly the republican nominee. i think what you hear republicans say privately is that they were able, a couple weeks ago, to imagine the scenario where he started to settle in and mature in the role. they're alarmed that the refusal to acknowledge the news cycle cycles -- you gave him a chance to disavow david duke. it makes him run against clinton daunting. >> the clinton versus trump race, democrats were laughing saying, if it's trump, that's great. they're not saying that again.

didn't go after this guy early. they know they have to engage early. here's what it means for us as a country, nasty, low, early, often. it's going to be a race to the bottom. >> by the way, roker commandeered his monitor back. >> roker. >> that was short-lived. >> i'll raise your touchscreen, buddy. >> thank you so much. stay with nbc news throughout the day and night. complete coverage of super tuesday. we'll be will lester holt tonight for prime time coverage as the results come in at 10:00 p.m. eastern. i'll take a double latte, chuck. >> could some storms impact voting tonight? >> i think it could. could i get some windex? anyway, you can already see pretty good storms firing up. we're going to be looking at a very wide swath from louisville

22 million people at risk. the super tuesday states, arkansas, memphis, tennessee, knoxville, birmingham, alabama, atlanta, georgia, possibilities of having severe weather later this afternoon and on io e evening hours. active weather for tennessee, arkansas, louisiana, alabama, mississippi. by this afternoon, we have storms from knoxville, nashville, down to jackson. into tonight, active from tennessee, north carolina, all the way down to the gulf coast. heavy amount of rain stretching from little rock all the way to pittsburgh, guys. we are looking at a fair awemount of rain and active weather that could affect voter turnout. >> keep us posted. >> thank you so much. the government's battle with apple over one of the san bernardino shooter's phones is center stage on capitol hill today. the head of the fbi and apple's

congress as apple celebrates a ss a ruling in a similar case. pete williams has more. good morning. >> it is apple's first court victory, with the judge ruling the government cannot force the company to open a locked iphone. the ruling came late monday from a federal judge in brooklyn over a dispute in an iphone belonging to a suspected drug dealer. this is a separate case from the tug of war over the iphone used by one of the san bernardino attackers. but the legal issues are basically the same. the judge ruled the relief the government seeks is unavailable because congress has considered legislation that would give the same result. phone companies allowing the government to tap into their systems when it has a search warrant. congress decided not to cover phone makers like apple and google under the law. the judge said requiring apple to bypass security mess sureasures that the company markets to its customers would be something offensive. he said it's beyond the

later today, the fbi director james comey and apple's general committee. they both agree that this problem will get worse unless congress draws bound are iye -- boundaries lines. >> you have the ruling in brooklyn, the san bernardino case is going forward. they're not legally bound but what is the practical effect of what happened in brooklyn on the san bernardino case? >> the legal matter is the brooklyn ruling is not binding on any other court, but it is the first decision on the issue and it does give apple a leg up. it'll be arguing in court in california later this month why it should not have to help the fbi open that san bernardino phone, savannah. >> pete williams in washington, thank you. turn to california now where the search is on for a kidnapping suspect who escaped overnight after a bizarre police chase and standoff. nbc's steve patterson is in los angeles. >> police with the california

still out there, escaping after an hour's long police pursuit with an ending you have to see to believe. >> reporter: low speed, high stakes. >> all over the paint, riding the shoulder, trying to get past the traffic. >> reporter: play by play from the air, calling a dangerous game on the ground. >> he's not going to get very far. you can run but you can't hide. >> reporter: a notion the suspect would test, starting east of los angeles. police say the suspect kidnapped his girlfriend and their two young children, boys ages 1 and 5, heading south in a hummer. police pursuing, just not very fast. >> he's not breaking any speed records. >> reporter: the chase spanning multiple highways, a couple hours, 40 miles south through orange county. [ sirens ]. >> reporter: sudden by, it stops. the suspect on the phone with negotiators, handcuffs in the rear-view mirrors, hello kitty stickers on the window, before he's on the run again, finally

hours passed, tense moments. california highway patrolmen with guns drawn. the man opening the door, standing outside with the baby and going back in. the 5-year-old popping his head in and out of the sunroof. then the suspect makes his move, sending the women and children around the vehicle and making a break for the hills. shots fired. [ gunshots ] but the man escapes. the search is on amid a sigh of relief. >> the woman and two children were not harmed. of course, police would like to have their man in custody, but this could have ended worse. and breaking news. swat teams searching a gated community near newport beach. they believe the suspect was seen near a home there. they're closing? >> steve, thank you very much. now to the white house where president obama awarded the highest military honor to a navy

daring rescue of an american hostage in afghanistan in 2012. edward byers is the first living, active duty member of the navy to receive the award in four decades. byers is a member of the navy's famed edd seal team 6. the president said it gives the american people a chance to get a glimpse of a special breed of warrior who often serves in the shadows. now to a frightening scene at a texas gas station caught on camera. this car comes barrelling into the picture, slams into the gas pump head on. the pump then burst into flames. the passenger jumps out of the car and runs away, while the driver tries to free other passengers from the backseat. everyone did get out okay, but it took firefighters two hours to get the flames under control. we still don't know what caused the driver to lose control in the first place. >> lucky people. >> yeah. mr. roker has more on the weather. >> out west, we have a big storm

the pacific northwest. northern california and southern california. we have a slight risk of storms through the southeast. plenty of sunshine through the plains. we'll look at the winter side of

we'll get to your >> that's your latest weather. savannah? >> al, thanks. coming up, erin andrews in tears on the stand in her $75 million civil trial, while the stalker opens up about how he secretly recorded her. we'll hear from both of them. plus, the big homecoming being plann as scott kelly returns to earth tonight after nearly a year on the international space station.

we're back at 7:42. nasa is planning a very big homecoming celebration in houston as scott kelly prepares to return to earth late tonight. >> here's a guy who spent almost a full year on the international space station. a record for an american astronaut. nbc's tom costello covers nasa for us. good morning. >> good morning. scott kelly has turned over command of the space station to another astronaut after almost a year in space.

into his pool back in houston. he's now spent more time in space than any other american astronaut. not just on this mission, but cumulatively. the question from nasa docs, what about the health effects? >> reporter: 340 days, 5,400 earth orbits, nearly 11,000 sunsets. for nearly a year, scott kelly has floated 250 miles above the earth. >> probably almost half the time i've been here between sleeping and working on the computer, i've spent in basically a box the size of a phone booth. >> reporter: along the way, he's captured and tweeted breath-taking images of sunrising, massive weather systems, melting icecaps and a space suit selfie. he's also been the ideal test subject to evaluate the physical and emotional effects on long-duration space flight.

is scott's twin brother mark, husband of gabby giffords. as a near genetic duplicate, researchers have been comparing scott to mark, critical if astronauts are ever going to mars. and twins will be twins. it was mark who sent a gorilla suit into space for scott to terrorize other astronauts. but the science is serious stuff. >> they had an opportunity they've never had before. my brother and i are the only individuals, only siblings, that have ever flown in space. the fact we're twins gave them this unique opportunity to do some pretty substantial science. >> cover of im magazine. >> reporter: at his home in houston weeks before his mission began last year, i asked scott what he'd miss most. >> are you going to miss tacos? are you going to miss pizza? watering the lawn? what will you miss? >> i think what most people

important in your life. the relationships you have with people on the ground. >> reporter: from space, he says, that's still true. >> there's certainly, you know, a loss of connection with folks on the ground that you care for and love and want to spend time with. >> reporter: still, after nearly 144 million miles, he says he's not climbing the walls. >> i could go another 100 days. i could go another year if i had to. >> reporter: no need. after 11 months in space, late tonight, scott kelly will finally be home. >> he'll get a very thorough medical exam. researchers say in the absence of gravity, bones become brittle, fluids move upwards and sometimes vision is affected, shifting toward farsightedness, something scott kelly said he's already experienced. when you add up his missions over the years, he'll have set the american record.

>> tom costello, thank you very much. we all remember the images of the astronauts getting off a capsule after three weeks and they were wobbly. >> i wonder how he'll feel. he'll be like, what'd i miss? carson, what did he miss? >> donald trump, what's going on here? hey, guys. this is social media, and scott kelly has been able to give us all a glimpse into what it's been like to be in space for a year. the sunrise pictures, all the cities lit up at night. we followed along with him as he celebrated holidays. this came from easter. here he is in the space station with a christmas tree. thanksgiving, his twin brother mark posted this. scott, gabby and i missed you at thanksgiving dinner. a big feast, rubbing it in. scott replied, not quite the same. over the months, we saw him take these wd f and wld send ptuthere. tm bk toli

a lot of people outside on a beautiful day in the northeast. great time to trend. >> love to trend. >> let's do it. >> have you ever been in a good mood? >> no. >> gone to work and then ran into the debbie downer and then you don't feel good, like you caught their bad attitude like a cold? it's not in your head. there is a scientific term. it's monday morning with matt lauer. >> yeah, yeah. >> just kidding. >> that is not nice. >> i know. i couldn't resist. >> long way to go for that. >> impressive. >> you will see tuesday morning with matt lauer in a second. >> it's called emotional con contagion. it happens instantly. milliseconds. in fact, scientists say it's easier to catch their bad mood than cold or flu. the more expressive someone is, the more likely you are to notice that expression and mimic it. >> what's the other way? >> can the opposite happen? >> that's what i was thinking. actually, you put me in a good mood every day. >> that's very nice but not

but i will say also, sometimes if i'm in a really bad mood and someone is in an overly good mood, it makes you feel worse. >> that's true. >> i tend to do that to people. >> hey! >> how long does it take to fly from new york to los angeles. >> 5 hours, 48 minutes. >> you do it a lot. >> what if it lasts as long as a "star wars" movie, two and a half hours? it could be reality now that nasa is trying to revive the super sonic jet. partnering with lockheed martin to develop an aircraft that exceeds the speed of sound. costs $20 million in development over the next year or so. remember, the last super sonic jet retired back in 2003, grounded after complaints over sky-high costs and the loud takeoffs and landings. if they can create a jet without the boom, i wonder if people will -- >> did you fly on it? >> i did. >> how was it? >> quick. >> do you feel the speed?

you felt a little, like someone knocked the back of your chair, and then you're gone. you're going. >> it's kind of cramped. >> narrow, too. it had to be so it could go super sonic. >> i would never fly that. too cramped. >> you expect it. >> you'd leave london and get to new york before you left. >> didn't you say they also had a limbo picking you up? >> little bit of a 1% issue there. >> thanks for bringing that up. >> okay. moving from super sonic jets to cars that travel at 2 miles an hour. that's the speed of google's self-driving car. something unprecedented happened. there have been 17 accidents so it wasn't there but a crash happened on valentine's day in california. a lexus suv struck a slow-moving bus.

>> oooh-nno! >> the driver doesn't take responsibility because there's no driver. >> now kris jenner's thoughts on the o.j. simpson mini series and why steve martin doesn't want to be on the "tonight show" while he's on the "tonight show." kris jenner is played in the moviely selma blair. she was close friends with nicole brown simpson. on the ellen show, kris talks about the friendship. >> like we failed her as a friend. you go through this and sisdiscover things about somebody and it was horrible. >> did o.j. try to reach out to you at all? >> right after, yeah. he called me a few times. you know, wanted to talk and explain how he felt. it was very difficult because my ex-husband was on one side and, you know, i was kind of on the other. the kids were in the middle.

you can see the interview today on "ellen." we'll move on to "the voice." yes! what an awesome premiere. >> what a great show. >> we told you about the former child star alporter. she got all four coaches to spin the chairs. we showed you her performance last week but didn't reveal the coach she went with. here's your answer. i'm going backomeday you p you co >> i pa. istinahe loturn listen,hr great,at c beheir fe coac. it's elyhead nally,tin w

healthm'drn we're back now. 8:30 on this tuesday morning. super tuesday 2016. new york state is one of the states voting today, get out and do your constitutional, civic duty. >> coming up, you want stars? we have stars. tina fey is here, going to war in her new movie. we'll talk to her about that. she was at the oscars the other night. we'll hear about her night coming up. >> and jenny is on our block. jennifer lopez, that is. she's made her way to studio 1a. we have a lot to talk about. her nbc show, "the end of idol, las vegas, we'll cover it all. >> looking beautiful all the time. tina and jennifer, incredible. first, it is super tuesday. if you want to latest on the presidential race any time, nbc

that'll give you complete candidate information. the headlines and poll data, political trivia. add the nbc skill in your alexa app, and search away. we want to hear your birthday ideas. sign up at today.com/parenting team. i did mine last week. mr. roker? >> today, we have a risk of strong storms down the gulf coast and southeast. we have windy, wet weather makes its way through the pacific northwest. high surf advisories in southern california. they had morning fog the last few mornings. tomorrow, we've got more rain and snow up through the great lakes. some rain and thunderstorms down through florida. plenty of sunshine.

pacific northwest and gulf coast >> and that is your latest weather. savannah? >> al, thank you so much. from "snl" to 30 rock, laugh out loud movies and award shows, tina fey charmed all kinds of audiences. in "whiskey tango foxtrot," she plays a journalist adjusting to life in afghanistan with help from a fellow reporter. >> you're like, what, six or seven in new york? >> yeah. >> you were nine, borderline

>> what are you here, like a 15? >> yeah. >> huh. >> tina fey, good morning. >> morning. >> i love that scene. >> nothing like a hotness scale. >> you're better over here because there's no women here. >> we learn in the movie, there's cute and then there is kabul cute. >> you're a 4 at home, ship out, you're a 10 and go home, you're a 4. >> you play this journalist in tv news but in a life rut and decides, i'll go to afghanistan. >> yeah. it's a time when there was a shortage of journalists when the war in afghanistan was being outshadowed by the war in iraq. they were like, anyone who wants to go with go. this woman thinks she's going for three months and stays for three years and kind of changes her life in the process. >> this is based on a true story. there's a book by a chicago tribune reporter, kim barker. the "new york times" review of the book says she depicts

who finds herself addicted to the adrenaline rush of war. was that a light bulb, like, i know who could play tina fey? >> it is embarrassing to say that's how i became aware of the book. then i read it afterwards and it well-written. i was like, we should make this a movie. >> it's cute. what does that mean, tina fey character? >> like a slob. eats poorly and doesn't comb her hair, i think. >> it's a military setting. you're shooting guns, hanging out with soldiers. did you like that? >> i did. i got to fly in a helicopter. flew in a huey with no, you know, doors on the side. it was really cool and exciting. i fired an ak-47, which a lot of guy friends of mine was like, was that awesome? i was like, it's fine. >> i thought you caught the bug and you'd be in terminateor 4 or

>> it's a war movie, funny but it's not a ha ha movie. >> it's a human story about people getting addicted to the adrenaline lifestyle. the journalists get there and work in intense environments all day and cut loose and party all night. it becomes a dangerous lifestyle. >> i love the title, by the way. "whiskey tango foxtrot." >> military speak for wtf. we'll stop the translation there. >> like the oscars, a scroll can come across, what it means. that describes the atmosphere >> yeah. insane, chaotic atmosphere that people cope with. >> did you have fun at the oscars? >> as much fun as you can have being, like, up high and -- >> that's what i was going to is squ. ask. first of all, there was a nice article about your outfit. it said, tina fey literally slayed. i was like, is that what you were going for, literal slaying? >> i'm going for it every minute

>> am i slaying now? am i slaying from this angle? but is it fun or is it like a suck in your gut night? >> it's both. it is fun. to get literally with people stepping on a suitcase, get me in that thing, but it's fun, yeah. >> we always run into each other in the gym on golden globes morning. i'm getting the doughnuts and you're in your cute outfit. >> workout with natalie and al. >> actually, that was natalie's story and i stole it. let's talk about the political season. >> okay. >> do you have a special phone that's like red and it's lauren michaels saying, i need you to come in. we have palin in the news again? >> it's a regular phone. when i saw the endorsement happening, i texted them and said, i will be around if you need me. it was the weekend of the blizzard. >> that's right. >> hammond, who we live across

had to break the law to come down in the blizzard. >> in service to your country. >> yeah. then go home. >> it'sthe jacket sold out. >> they're the most talented people. richards built that bead by bead. >> in a blizzard. >> i don't know where they got the beads. >> super tuesday, are you going to watch the results tonight? >> well, we have the premiere of the movie tonight, but it's super tuesday. >> i love that. thank you for caring. don't go to the premiere. we're on lester. me and chuck. he has his telestrator. >> exactly. >> does it make you miss the update desk? >> it's a weird, ugly election this year. it's a tricky one. i don't envy them. >> a lot of material. >> yeah. >> thank you so much. love the movie. "whiskey tango foxtrot" opens in theaters nationwide on friday.

first, this is "today" on nbc. one of the cool perks of this place is you can eat as much cereal as you want. it's like i'm going to work to get some. alrighty. we just like cereal. we make it, eat it, love it, live it. (laughing)

that's part of the reason. all right. it's 8:40, back with the one and only jennifer lopez. she's juggling a lot right now. judging the farewell season of "american idol," extending dates for her las vegas residency, "all i have," and serving as a star and executive producer in "shades of blue." hostage. >> this doesn't feel right, but the best thing to do to help him is get him talking. >> he'll talk when he feels safe. >> where is safe? these people kidnapped him. you don't think they'll pay him another visit? if he's a dead end, we blew our only lead and your cover. harlee, listen, i'm not going to leave you alone for a second. i don't want anything to happen, okay?

"shades of blue" was picked up for a second season on nbc. >> it was. >> jennifer, congratulations. >> thank you. >> executive producer and actor. >> yes. >> what was the mood like on the set when the word came down that it was up for season two? >> everybody was thrilled. everybody is so happy. we have a great cast, you know, with ray and all the actors on the show. great crew behind the scenes, as well. we're excited. >> for people who haven't seen the show yet, harlee is not your typical cop. she's a bit of a bad girl who got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. >> she gets in trouble. >> yet, she's still a cop. >> yeah, she's a cop. listen, she's human first, you know what i mean? i think that's what the piece is about. the piece is about humanity. it's about, you know, human nature. how we can -- it's easy to slide down the slippery slope when you just, you know -- even with great intentions, trying to do

trying to do the right thing. >> people confronted with a choice in an instant, do they make the right choice or the wrong choice? >> they think they are. that's the crazy part. even if you know, this is pushing the lines of what is morally right or ethically right, it's still, you know, you'll make the choice if it means survival or saving your family or anything like that. >> i was reading all you have going on right now last night when i was thinking about doing this xhausted looking at it. >> this is why i'm sleepy. >> are you the person, generally speaking, not to put you on the couch here -- >> go ahead. >> do you fear if you slow down, the world will pass you by? >> there is a little bit of fomo, fear of missing out. i had that when i was little. do you remember moments like this when you were lying in bed and you heard the grown-ups in the next room and you wanted to be out there? you're like, what are they doing? is there a party going on? can i --

grown-ups worrying about what the people in the other room are saying. >> i love my work. i really do. i enjoy it. it fulfills me. it really is something that -- i just love creating. all of it. i did take on a lot last year, probably more than i should have. >> a lot of irons in the fire. >> but it was great opportunities that i couldn't say no to. >> and it seems when one of the irons cools, the other heats up. here, we have second season of "shades of blue" at the same time "american idol" is coming to an end. >> yes. >> i've watched you on that show over the years and i think it changed you as a person. is that too much of a stretch? >> i don't think it changed me as a person as much as it let people know who i really was. >> because you were able to share things? >> because it was the first time, you know, you wouldn't see me in a movie, playing a role, doing the j.lo, you know, music thing. where i'm singing and playing that type of -- not playing that character but being that person. but actually showing me as a

the person who, you know, loves music and is very emotional. you never got to see that before. i always felt like people were getting that from me but i realized they hadn't. they saw me speak for myself and be myself on a show. >> you talk about somebody who loves music. you've got a show out in las vegas that you even said to me is hard. >> it is. >> you created a show that is really hard to do. sometimes you must think, why didn't i just put a microphone in the stage and a chair? >> i could just stand here and sing. i could be on a stool right now. i created it thinking, okay, this section will be like this. it'll be really high energy. this section will be this. when i did them back to back and realized i had seven or eight sections and they were all really high energy, i was like, what the heck am i doing? you know what? it's a crazy, energetic show and people are appreciating it and it warms my heart and makes me happy. >> lastly, where do you hide the machine?

>> the time machine. seriously, every time you come here, especially the women on the staff say, how is it possible she looks better today than perhaps 10, 15 years ago? myself a little bit. you know what i mean? 20s, 30s, you're figuring yourself out a little bit. now, i kind of feel comfortable with who i am. >> i want one hour with the time machine, whatever you have. i want one hour with it. >> thank you. thank you. >> congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> you can catch "shades of blue" thursday night, 10:00/9:00 central on nbc. jennifer will be back with kathie lee and hoda. if you have a question for her, and it's particularly nice, go to their facebook page or tweet us using the #j.lo today. up next, scoring deals. five things you should look to buy in march. first, this is "today" on nbc.
