>> reporter: soon, she devoted her life to him and his budding political career. her influence quickly extending beyond the home and into politics. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: becoming first lady of california in 1966, and then of the nation in 1981. at first, she was criticized for wearing designing gowns during a recession. then lauded for her anti-drug, just say no campaign. >> when it comes to drugs and alcohol, just say no. >> reporter: but it was the 1981 assassination attempt that nearly took his life that overshadowed his entire presidency. nancy reagan became fiercely protective, even consulting an astrologer before scheduling his trips. an embarrassment exposed by his chief of staff, who had been fired largely at her behest, after the iran-contra scandal. >> she was ronald reagan's

she also was among other things his constant protector. >> reporter: during her eight years as first lady, nancy reagan changed world history. encouraging her husband to negotiate with what he had called the evil empire, the soviet union, and its new leader, gorbachev. >> he knew he could do a deal with gorbachev, he just needed to be allowed to do it. him. >> reporter: after leaving the white house, nancy reagan became an advocate for stem cell research for alzheimer's after the ex-president wrote a heart-breaking letter to the nation, sclosing he was suffering from the disease. >> he made the decision to write a letter to the american people, and the people responded. >> reporter: his caregiver until his death in 2004, she remained devoted to him for all her days. carrying the torch for her husband's legacy and her own. >> for all of the glamour and success they experienced on the

best say their favorite moments were alone, upstairs in the white house, eating dinner on tv. best friends in life. now, together again. matt and savannah? please stand by. moment. >> the image of her kissing his flag draped coffin -- >> unforgettable. >> yeah, it breaks me up. last night, we had the chance to speak by phone to the reagan son, ron. >> you and i spoke after your dad died, and i asked you a very simple question then. let me just ask the same question. tell me about nancy reagan. who was she? >> well, nancy reagan was the woman who was totally dedicated to her husband, and i know that that sounds, you know, anti-feminist. i don't mean it in that way. she loved her husband, more than anything in the world. i think that you can make the

we all came to know as president would not have existed without nancy reagan. >> she was seen as this devoted woman. some feminists actually gave her a hard time, working women gave her a hard time, and she said just about everything i did in that first year was misunderstood. >> yeah, well, i think it was tough for her in the white house because there was a lot of anger that could have been directed at my father, but my father was a person who was almost impossible to dislike as a human being. she was a little more, let's say, complicated a personality than he was. she made an easier target, i think. >> complicated, how so, ron? >> my mother was more aware of, i think, the dark corners of life. and the darker aspects of human nature. her view was more, i'm going to watch, and if i think you're good for my husband, then you've

but if i think you're bad for my husband or you're hurting him in some way, oh, you know, you better watch out because now you have an enemy and it's not an enemy you want. >> the assassination attempt on your father, i don't think anybody knew until years after he left the white house how close he came to dying. but your mom knew. >> yes, yes. >> how did that change her perception of his life in the white house and the bubble? >> i don't think that she ever had another day during his presidency where there wasn't some fear involved. particularly, of course, when he went out in public and all. he meant everything to her. seeing her spouse gunned down in the street and having him almost die is, to say the least, tra traumatic. i don't think she was ever then on. >> can you tell me how your dad's passing changed her as a

>> she was lonely without him. and said as much. she missed him terribly. i can say this, i suppose, she didn't have to worry anymore about whether any of her opinions would necessarily clash with any of his. >> last two questions. if someone were to ask you to describe the love story of ronald and nancy reagan, how would you describe it? >> once they had bonded together, they really were inseparable. i mean, it sounds cliche. i don't think that they ever spent a day apart where they didn't call, speak on the phone. he wrote her letters all her life. all his life. they were in love. they stayed in love for, you know, 52 some odd years. >> i would say anybody watching this and learning of this news, who is perhaps under the age of

lot about your mom and your dad. >> yeah. >> so for the people in that age group and below, what's the most important thing they should know about nancy agan? >> i think that she knew how to love somebody. that would be, you know -- and you can do a lot worse than that in life. that's what i think of when i think of my mother. i think of her relationship with her husband. >> that's a wonderful place to leave it. ron, thank you so much. again, my sincere condolences to you and your family. >> thank you, matt. appreciate it. >> nbc news special correspondent tom brokaw first met the reagans in los angeles and grew to know them well over the years. also, let's bring back andrea mitchell, as well. tom, tell me about the early years of knowing them. >> well, when i first met them, he was running for governor of california, obviously. she was, from the very beginning, an important counsel for him. everybody said, you have to

or nancy believes we ought to be doing this or not this. she was always kind of on gourduard. i remember when he was running for a second term, i was in a room with a lot of their friends. including jimmy stewart's wife. she was kissing everybody around the room and got to me and went like this. i said, mrs. reagan, whatever i have, it's not catching. she laughed and leaned over and kissed me. that was the beginning of a personal relationship, as well. >> you mentioned over the years, you stayed in touch and became personal friends, and spoke with her rather recently. >> on february 6th, the birthday i shared with the president. we talked every year, exchanged notes. i saw her last summer for tea. she was not as responsive as i hoped she'd be. by february 6th, she was responsive. this is a sad passing for everyone because i always thought that most symbolically

view, she was always the first lady. she never gave up that title, and people responded to it. >> andrea, let's talk about her power behind the door of the white house. not only in terms of her husband's view of policy, but she was also very good at understanding who he should trust. >> absolutely. one of the things about that, there were three advisers who came from -- well, two from california and, of course, jim baker brought into the circle. she did have a huge impact on changing white house staff. before that, the campaign staff. but she always had her antenna out. i think that ron reagan eluded to that. she understood the people who were not there to serve ronald reagan. he did not. he was so genial and liked everyone. he didn't have that political antenna, but she did and she protected him. she was the chief protector, and she reached out, as well, to democrats, to others, to come in and talk to him so he would not

she was responsible, also, of course, for the exit of donald, who was charged for a lot of things, like letting the iran-contra affair happen under his nose. >> tom, don't you think nancy's reputation and the way this country felt about her changed over the years? in the early years, people were tough on her. >> they were tough on her because she brought her hollywood elegance and the whole bell aire way of life to the white house. i felt she knew what her role was. other people had ideas of the first ladies. when they first got elected, i said some things in the press that she thought were far too critical about -- not his childhood, but when he was a young man, he made good money right away and he was one of the highest paid people in hollywood. i was told by the white house staff, stay away from her. she's angry. you'll be invited to a state

what you're going to say in the receiving line. i'm walking up, and meredith is with me, saying, what are you going to say? i hadn't figured it out. i said, nancy, back to square one. she laughed. this was the moment in which she one. this picture arrived the next day in my office, autographed by her, tom, back to square one. that's how good and nimble she was and how political she could be. this is something i keep. >> the most surprising part of the story is you had a moment you didn't know what you were going to say. >> but it wasn't -- let's be clear, i knew i would say something. >> thank you, thank you so much. andrea, thank you. the presidential candidates are paying tribute to nancy reagan, including the moment of silence during the democratic debate. two contests were held on sunday.

republican primary, and bernie sanders topped hillary clinton in maine. the news is not all good for his campaign. nbc's kristen welker has the latest on both races this morning. good morning to you. >> savannah, good moshing to ingmorning to you. the candidates have one more day before the michigan primary. sanders picked up wins over the weekend, in addition to maine, kansas and nebraska. but it was secretary clinton who expanded her delegate lead by winning the state of louisiana. all that setting the stage for a fiery debate on sunday. >> reporter: it was one of the most ruckus democratic debates yet. >> excuse me, i'm talking. >> if we're going to argue about the '90s, let's get the facts straight. >> reporter: sanders attacking clinton for supporting nafta, which many in michigan oppose, and mocking her for reverse reversals on the issue. >> secretary clinton discovered religion on this issue. but it's a little bit too late.

citing sanders' opposition to the 2009 auto bailout. >> if everybody voted the way he did, i believe the auto industry would have collapsed. >> if you are talking about the wall street bailout, where some economy -- >> if you're going to talk, tell the whole story, senator sanders. >> let me tell my story, and you tell yours. >> i will. >> reporter: there was disagreements, both sdisa greemt disagreement disagreements and agreements, calling for the governor of flint to resign. and both vowing to beat trump in a general election. the gop front runner made a memorable entrance at the golf championship at his own course in florida. over the weekend, called for marco rubio to end his campaign. >> i think it's time he drops out. >> reporter: "saturday night live" finding new humor in the hotly contested race.

races, ugly racists, people who didn't know they were racists. weekend. he won kansas and maine. take a look at the delegate count now. ted cruz just 87 delegates behind donald trump. meanwhile, our latest nbc news/wall street journal poll shows trump and clinton ahead in michigan. >> thank you. let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker. good morning. >> we have some severe weather for the midsection of the country with potential flooding rains, as well. we have this slow moving upper level low coming out of the west, and a high pressure ridge that isn't going to let this thing move east very far. we're going to have a setup where we see from san antonio to dallas, the risk of severe weather. 16 million at risk for damaging winds, isolated tornado, large hail.

from corpus christi to dallas, we have an enhanced risk. 26 million people at risk. tornadoes. rainfall, upwards of 7 inches from houston to little rock. some places could see 10 to 12 inches of rain. texas, arkansas and louisiana. that's what's going on. we're going to look at your e ale ople sleep, yet i'm so awake? did you your syonhe thr lps yoslnce ts whenyou nsomnia, the wake system in your brain may be too strong and your neurotransmitters remain too active o eep,

it's monday morning, the 7th of march, 2016. flags are flying at half-staff across the country as the nation remembering nancy reagan this morning. just ahead, more on how she reshaped the role of first lady, her partnership with her husband and why he may not have become president without her influence. >> we'll get to that in a second minutes. other stories making headlines on a monday morning. two contests held in the presidential race on sunday. florida senator marco rubio won the primary in puerto rico, while bernie sanders had a victory over hillary clinton in maine's democratic kau sus scaucuses. clinton took louisiana. ted cruz and donald trump each won two states over the weekends. >> sanders and clinton were facing off in a debate in flint, michigan, last night. during one exchange, they sparred over government bailouts.

that ended up saving the auto industry. i think that is a pretty big difference. >> if you are talking about the wall street bailout, where some of your friends destroyed this economy -- >> you know -- >> excuse me. i'm talking. >> michigan holds its primary tomorrow, along with mississippi. republican contests in idaho and hawaii, as well. peyton manning is calling it a career after 18 seasons. he scheduled an afternoon news conference to announce his retirement. manning will step away from the game as a two-time super bowl champion with different teams, and the league's all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. how many athletes ever get to call it quits while they're on top? >> exactly. reallyn top. the super bowl ring to match. more on the sad passing of nancy reagan, who died in her los angeles home sunday at the age of 94. peter alexander is in washington, d.c. for us. peter, gd morning.

good morning. nancy reagan was almost an equal part of her husband's political career, supportive wife and advocate. publicly, she launched a high profile effort to fight youth drug and alcohol abuse. >> reporter: for a certain generation, nancy reagan may be best remembered for these three words. >> just say no. >> reporter: her signature cause, anti-drug campaign, helped turn the first lady into a pop culture icon, appearing as herself on "different strokes." >> i'm concerned about drug abuse, especially among the young. i was very impressed by the way you spoke out. >> reporter: a message hand delivered to millions. >> if someone offers you drugs, what will you do? >> just say no! >> reporter: even celebrities joined the cause. >> what would i do if someone offered me these drugs? i'd tell them to take a hike.

critics who labeled it simplistic, by the end of her husband's administration, 1,2,000 clubsadee formed worldwide. she was fiercely protective of her husband, especially after the 1981 assassination attempt that nearly took his life. >> every time he went out and talked to, you know, thousands of people, my heart stopped. >> reporter: accused of overmanaging her husband, she was a force behind the scenes, with enormous influence on who served in his administration and what policies he pursued. most notably, encouraging president reagan to negotiate with the soviet union, which helped end the cold war. her advocacy never waned. >> ronnie's journey has finally taken him to a distant place, where i can no longer reach him. >> reporter: with alzheimer's disease robbing her husband's

cause. a champion of stem cell research, an effort that went for the party of reagan. >> i don't think they understand that it's not taking a life, it's trying to save countless lives. >> she did have an impact on so many lives. the reagan library says there will be an opportunity for members of the public tapeh their -- to pay their respects before the funeral services. she'll be buried on the spot she kissed her husband good-bye for the last time in 2004. >> peter alexander, thank you. let's bring in presidential historians, doris and michael. good morning to both of you. >> good morning, matt. >> doris, i'll start with you. how was she different as a first lady? how did she evolve the role, as compared to those who came before her and even after her? >> i think more than anything, as people have been saying, that passionate love affair that she

foundation of confidence and sense of self and joy during the presidency. the presidency is hard for a lot of people. i think being with her allowed him to enjoy it, which is really important. when i read his diary, i've never seen those authentic words offered before. i miss her after six months, you know. i'm not whole without her. when she's on a trip, i want to look and see her face. this is not just words. that foundation gave him a protected harbor at the very beginning of his life, when he came from an actor to a president, and then nearing the end, when she was so instrumental in changing his inner circle and actually making him apologize for iran-contra, which helped him out of the slump, and the hard liners for the russians. it's an extraordinary love story that became a political foundation. >> one of the top aides said, without nancy, there wouldn't have been a governor reagan, wouldn't have been a president reagan. she seemed to relish that role as image maker. keeper of the legacy.

it. i would talk to her in later about this. she'd say, no, it was all ronnie. i had very little to do with it. but i think now we'll find out a lot more. ronald reagan came from this so did she. after world war ii, his film career was over. they got married. she helped him dust himself off, got him a career as a tv star. helped him to rise in politics. the same was true of her as -- when she was first lady. at the time in the '80s shows you how much things have changed. she was criticized for being a partner and collaborator in her husband's career. i think nowadays, a spouse would be criticized for not doing so. >> doris, she once said everything she did in the first year as first lady was either misunderstood or misrepresented. expand on that. >> i think what that meant is that she wanted to redecorate

she brought in a sense of glamour, beautiful gowns, spent money on china, and it was a time of recession. the timing was off. jackie kennedy did the very same thing during her era. mary lincoln was criticized for bringing redecoration to the white house during the civil war. she understood humor. there was a postcard that said, fancy nancy as a queen because she seemed regal. she went before a dinner and said, i would never wear a crown. it would mess my hair. she was able to soften that and become involved in just say no. i think that sense of glamour that she brought since remained there, she just understood it had to be softened. >> two complete experts on the subject. michael and doris, thank you to both of you. >> welcome. let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker. >> we're talking about some warmth that is much welcomed. we are going to see these temperatures really start to soar starting today in the mid

25 to 30 degrees above normal. atlanta, 70. washington, d.c., high of 65 degrees. tomorrow, philly, up to 71. wednesday, record highs from the ohio river valley to the northeast. new york city, 27 degrees above average. cleveland, 66. little rock, 73. green bay, a high of 53, 15 degrees above average. it continues right on into thursday.

the >> that's your latest weather. savannah? >> al, thank you. we talked about it a lot this morning. up next, this love story stretching across the decades, from hollywood to the white house. a look inside nancy and ronald reagan's long-lasting romance. >> ronnie is a very sentimental man, very romantic man. on my birthday, he would send flowers to my mother, thanking her for having me. skedup of young pele ent theyhouldart vi foremen we some peo they actually starng. th ghen shoart d whactudo iof t rsons too f ust ared firem startearl you can. it's to pay off inheutur if we all savia liore y,

reagan right after jay died in 1998, a few months afterwards, when i got a tour of the reagan library and i think, as a result, she felt protective of me. she was always so caring and kind and tweet. that began a several year friendship. we'd see each other, and she'd write me notes. you know, i just think she -- people thought of her as icy and overly protective of her husband. i think she was protective of her husband. at the risk of her own reputation. but she was really fun and nice and fun to be with. she loved to dish. she was like a girlfriend. she liked to know what was going on with everybody. she loved to gossip. >> did she even give you dating advice at one point? >> i think after jay passed away, she was interested in who i was seeing and if the person was appropriate or not. i saw her in 2011. i did an event at the reagan library.

relationship had recently ended with someone who was considerably younger than i was. she said, well, dear, sometimes you have to talk. i thought that was so funny. she just gave good advice throughout our friendship, at least. >> the letters she shared with the world from ronald to her, and you shared here on this show, sometimes it was so personal and so moving, you almost felt like we shouldn't be hearing them or reading them. >> right. they were intimate. but they were so beautiful. i think one of the things i remember she told me is, you know, some people questioned ronald reagan's intelligence and his ability to really lead the country. i think this was part of ensuring his image and his legacy after he left the white house. they were so well written, so clever. i remember saying to her, only someone very intelligent could have written the letters.

they were so dear and sweet, and so well done. and i told her, every husband in america -- or every wife was thinking, why doesn't my husband write me letters like this? >> i might have said that to my husband last night as we were falling asleep. >> she said it inspired people to write love letters again. >> you two? >> between us? never going to happen. >> to your respective spouses. >> she liked to dish, keep up on things going on, and also wanted to stay relative on current events. they hosted a debate last year at the reagan presidential library. >> i think the library was an important platform for her to stay engaged. at the dinner, we talked about the 2012 presidential campaign. she did tell me this incredible story of when her husband, the assassination attempt happened and he was shot and in the hospital, she was very worried about the lack of civility in

what was going on veesis-a-vis the political discourse. even back then. she said when o'neil went to see her husband in the hospital, he kissed him and said, i love you, then got on his knees and recited the lord's prayer. ronald reagan came close to dying. she said that president reagan and tip o'neil recited the lord's prayer together. she was just saying how unusual that was and how much affection they had for each other. she was bemoaning the lack of that in this day and age. >> makes you long for it. >> even more so. >> sad events bring you back, but it's nice to see you. >> nice to be able to talk about nancy reagan. up next, we'll talk about nancy reagan's iconic sense of style. even some of the criticism she faced over her fashion we wonerere. and here. and here.

uh, here. also in here. back there. behind here. even next to these guys, here. in the nation's largest, independent study, rootmetrics just named verizon number one network for the fifth time in a row, here. so when the other guys claim they're the best, remember: there's only one, number one. and now we'll pay up to $650 to switch to the best network. this one right here. jane likes to mix things up. that's why she loves new light & fit greek non-fat yogurt mousse. so fluffy and airy it's her new 80 calorie obsession. light & fit feel free to enjoy. how dotay topur hltah..ah h... cistomhave plhoic d to takntrol. sore mengage few high healthisks wer cal costs. keontryourh

10o 12 >> that's your latest weather. >> al, thank you. nancy reagan is being remembered f many things. one that cannot be overlooked, her keen sense of style. reporter: nancy reagan changed the face and the fashion of the first lady. she brought hollywood glamour to the white house. starting at president reagan's first inaugural ball, where she stunned in a beaded one shoulder white gown. it's a classic look some say inspired first lady michelle obama. jimmy, as she calls him, would dress mrs. reagan throughout her husband's presidency. describing her style as simple and elegant. other fashion favorites of the former first lady. oscar de la renta, a name little known on pennsylvania avenue.

collars, feminine ruffles and bows and her signature color, reagan red. as comfortable with designers as dignitaries, every occasion was a chance for her to sport high fashion looks. her expenseive taste earned her the nickname, queen nancy, which she responded to with humor. >> that's silly because i'd never wear a crown. it messes up your hair. >> reporter: from her days as a hollywood starlet to recent public appearances, mrs. reagan's style and love of clothes was unwavering. a true american icon in the fashion world and well beyond. >> award winning journalist, editor and author tina brown is the founder and ceo of tina brown live media. she profiled the reagans several times. good to see you. >> morning. >> the style of nancy reagan is substantive. she had this reputation for

had to do with how she dressed. >> she set the tone immediately at the inauguration, when she wore the long jimmy gown, the white, long tube with elbow length glove. it was so elegant. immediately said, grooming, grooming, grooming. traditional but with a california twist. that's the style she brought to the white house. >> she didn't shy away from that aspect of being first lady, of presenting yourself and presenting this image to the world. >> she didn't. it also extended to her social brand of entertaining. i feel that since nancy reagan, we have not really had an unapologetic social energy and what it can create for a presidency. she understood how to create the social iconic moments. for instance, when she -- when princess diana came to the white house, she really made that an iconic moment. what she did that evening was to actually go and tap travolta on the shoulder and say to him, at

say to you to go and ask princess diana to dance. she was setting u that moment like hollywood. everybody would watch it for the rest of the time. >> all this time, we thought it was a happy coincidence. >> it was not. >> it was the hand of nancy reagan. >> choreographed the whole thing. of course, they did this dance together, which everybody remembers. it became kind of a statement about optimism, glamour, hollywood, young meets old. it was just wonderful. she understood exactly what she was doing. >> you were with "vanity fair" at the time and shot a cover with the reagans one or two times. >> twice. >> what were your interactions like? >> we went the first time with harry benson, the great photographer who has done many shoots. we did it right before a state dinner for the president of argentina. we were told they'd set it up before the dinner, in their evening clothes and take a picture. we set it up.

boom box and a cassette in those days of frank sinatra singing nancy with a laughing face. he said it'd put them in a good mood. the reagans were already laughing and talking, always interacting. you could hear a joke he was telling her and her laughing. her social tinkling laugh. they come in and immediately hear the music. she says, ronnie, my favorite song. let's dance. he says, nancy, we can't keep the president of argentina waiting. it was a classic b movie. she grabbed him by his big shoulders and tux and says to him, oh, ronnie, let h wait. and they danced together. we called it the reagan stop. on the cover, you see her with her leg kicked up, wearing this beaded gown and he's in a tux. she understood, again, this is
