good morning. make or break. key contests in five states today. trump wins in florida and ohio would knock most of his rivals out of the race. >> if we win ohio and florida, it's pretty much over. >> if hillary clinton sweeps the day, will it be the end for bernie sanders? >> i feel good about where i am in this campaign. >> our team way weighs in on wh could be the most decisive day of the race. admission. >> the answer is yes. >> the nfl acknowledging a link between football and brain disease. where does the league go from here, and what does it mean for the future of america's most popular sport? weighing in. oj

>> people are, oh, the acting is riveting and this is a great plot line. i'm thinking, this is murder. >> this morning, what they say you're not seeing on the show. rose garden rap. the creator of "hamilton" enlists the help of the president for a free style performance performance. ♪ >> you think that's going viral? >> one for the history books today, tuesday, march 15th, 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." election day in many states. free style rapping seems hard by itself. in front of the president -- >> "hamilton" taking over the white house. you said this reminded you of

with subterranean home sick blues. >> you mentioned '80s ripping off on that. we'll talk about that in a moment. election day, presidential race, voters in five states are heading to the polls today. headlined by the winner take all contests in florida and ohio. we'll break that down and talk to donald trump live. first, peter alexander is in the buckeye state. good morning. >> good morning. this is the day that so many republican candidates had circled on their calendar for months. so much riding on the state of ohio. what was today will go a long way in determining whether this race becomes a coronation for donald trump or we're headed to a contested convention in the buckeye state this summer. >> we'll have a great day. we'll have a phenomenal day. >> reporter: donald trump, confident and undeterred. >> get him out of here. >> reporter:

help of sarah palin. >> what we don't have time for is all that petty [ bleep ] thuggery stuff that's been going on with these quote, unquote, protesters. >> reporter: the former alaska governor heading home to be with her husband todd, seriously injured in a snow machine accident. for kasich and rubio, it's d day. win their home states or stay home. >> i win ohio and continue to take this program forward, it's going to send a positive message to the world. >> it comes down to florida. this state will elect 99 delegates to one person. and i want it to be me, and i need you to help it to be me. >> reporter: rubio later backtracking, insisting he could survive a loss in florida. >> i never said my campaign is built on the outcome of any special state. >> kasich alongside mitt romney, looking for

republicans translates into an ohio victory. >> why is it neck and neck with trump here? >> i don't think it is. we're ahead. >> reporter: what he calls a toxic environment at trump rallies. >> it's lowering a bar and creating a bad image for america. >> reporter: a north carolina sheriff's office told nbc news it won't file charges against trump after an investigation into whether trump's statements at a rally last week where a protester was sucker punched, constituted a riot. but it keeps coming. >> bimbo. dog. fat pig. real quotes by donald trump about women. >> women, you have to treat them [ bleep ]. >> reporter: still, the rhetoric is con statagious. >> sir, one difference between this and a

you in the face. >> for mainstream republicans, the so-called establishment, this is the last stand in ohio and florida. i was struck by what mitt romney said campaigning alongside john kasich yesterday. he said to his supporters, america is counting on you. matt and savannah? >> peter alexander, thank you. donald trump joins us by phone now. good morning to you. >> morning. >> tim used to have a saying about elections. he'd hold up the board and it'd say, ohio, ohio, ohio. if you win florida and ohio, you could be on your way to the nomination. you're going against the sitting governor, john kasich. he's never lost a statewide election. could he ruin your night? >> well, he's 22-0 in terms of losing. he has lost every single state he's been in. i'll tell you what -- in terms of the presidential, he's done very, very poorly. i've spent a lot o

ohio. i was there last night in youngstown. he is not a popular guy. he approved nafta. he's trying to approve tpp, which is a total disaster. nafta destroyed ohio, took the businesses out, and he voted for it. look what he's done. in favor of common core. he's just now come out in favor of amnesty and open borders. i think the man is not very popular. i don't. he has not won one race in terms of presidential. i guess he's 0 for 22. i don't see it happening. i've been with the people of ohio. they hate the fact their coal and steel industries are gone. i think we're going to do well in ohio. >> mr. trump, if you are able to win in ohio, win in florida, have a big night tonight, and it looks like you're on track to get the 1,237 delegates, do you expect republican leaders, the republican party, to fall in line behind you as the

>> i do. they're already calling. i have the biggest people in the party, if there is such a thing because i'm not sure whether to use the word establishment, what it means. mitt romney, by the way, ran the worst race perhaps in the history of presidential politics. >> who is calling? >> he's campaigning now for kasich. i think people are not digging mitt romney too much. that's for sure. they'll send him the signal. the biggest people in the party are calling. they want to sit down. they want to make things right. a lot of people are calling because they see what's happening. savannah, we brought millions of people, millions -- it's the biggest story in politics worldwide -- we brought millions of people in, and they're voting in the primaries. we're up 70%. the democrats are down 35%. there's no enthusiasm for hillary, especially. i mean, no enthusiasm. >> let me

>> millions of people are going to give us a tremendous victory in november. >> let me ask you about the comment on the ad running in many states. it's an anti-trump pac. basically, it takes real women, and they repeat some of the things you have said about women over the course of the last several months or year or so. it's very difficult to watch. would you like to take back any of these comments you've made? >> let me just say about that, it was an ad put up by mitt romney's people. mitt romney is a sour guy. >> it's an anti-trump pac. no question. >> let me tell you, every single poll of every single state i've won, of which i've won, you know, a vast majority, but every single poll coming out, the exit polls, i lead with women. i lead with the military. i lead with the vets. i lead with virtually everyone. >> would you take back any of the

day, well, maybe that wasn't the greatest thing to say? >> i have not seen the ad, so i'd have to seen it. i've heard about it but i have not seen the ad. >> donald trump, a huge day for you and the other candidates on both sides of the spectrum. thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you very much. let's turn to chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." let's do the republicans before we turn to the democrats. we've seen where the delegates stand right now. lay it out for us, the various scenarios. >> most likely, basically, this is the if the polls are right. trump would win 3 of the 5. cruz with missouri. kasich with ohio. this is where we could stand. trump has a lead in the delegates but can't get to 1,237. under this scenario, what happens is, i'll go through it, you assume he wins 50% of the delegates for the remaining states. he comes up, at lst

ohio -- about 50 short. that's why ohio is important. he gets ohio, they can't stop him. if he loses one of them, i think they stop him. just being 50 short, i think, is a problem right now for him. >> if john kasich wins his home state of ohio, does it propel him or just allow him to hang around? >> i think it could propel him. next week, you have utah and arizona. kasich win in ohio, he could win in utah. cruz could win arizona. it's about puncturing the balloon of trump. i feel like we say, trump could lose this. it's like lucy and the football for the anti-trump forces. oh, this is the night they're going to get them. football is yanked away, trump wins 4 of 5 and can't stop them. >> we'll ask for your take on the democrats in a second. first, nbc's kristen welker is in miami to set the stage for us there. good morning. >> good morning to you. could be a turning

democratic race. secretary clinton feeling confident here in the delegate-rich state of florida and also north carolina. senator sanders liking his chances in missouri and also clinton's home state of illinois. ohio could be the state to watch. polls show clinton with a comfortable lead. both campaigns think it's closer, particularly after sanders' surprise win in michigan, which showed his message on trade and the economy is resonating with voters in the midwest. to counter, clinton has been touting her plans to bolster the manufacturing sector. the two have been taking jabs. last night at town halls, both saved their sharpest attacks for the gop front runner donald trump. >> he's been building this incitement. he has been leading crowds in jeering protesters. he has been talking about punching people in the face. he's been encouraging the man handling of both, you know,

well as journalists. >> this guy has insulted mexicans, muslims, women. he's insulted veterans. john mccain, a war hero. the american people won't vote for somebody like that. >> we're getting a snapshot of the race this morning according to the latest nbc news/surveymonkey poll. clinton topped sanders nationally. it's a 13 point lead, down slightly from the 17-point lead she had the last time the poll was conducted. if clinton has a strong night, she could all but put this race out of reach . if senator sanders has a big night, he could have more momentum. >> thank you. that sets the table nicely for chuck todd. there is suspense on the democratic side. sanders is competitive in some states. >> take away the super delegates and you're down to a 200 delegate lead here. in the states tonight, we assume

states. she could win by enough where she could lose the midwestern states here to sanders and still win the night on delegates. ohio and illinois. first, the illinois stuff, there is a subplot here. mayor of chicago, rahm emanuel, so unpopular. sanders has been attacking him. she could lose chicago and that's why she could lose illinois. missouri looks like oklahoma, which is a state he won. he's definitely in comfortable shape. this is the pivotal one, in ohio. momentum wise, if he wins 3 of 5, there's the sense of, look at this. after michigan, winning big states. even if he loses the night on delegates, the next seven contests, bernie sanders could win all seven and the momentum could get serious and she could be in trouble. >> where would be her best chance to gain momentum back or get back on track? >> it'll take a month. you have to wait until april, pennsylvania, new york, connecticut, maryland. it could be a while. arizona and

could lose both. that's why tonight, she needs to win ohio and illinois to truly put this race away. >> what i take away, ohio, ohio, ohio, on both sides. >> yes. >> chuck, thank you. let's turn to major news out of washington and a first for the nfl. a high-ranking, league official acknowledging a link between football and a brain disease. willie has more on that. >> good morning. c.t.e. is a degenerative brain disorder linked to head trauma. while the league settled a class action lawsuit tied to conclusions, it never acknowledged the link definitively. that changed on monday. >> reporter: a landmark admission from america's biggest league. for the first time in its history, the nfl admitting a link between the brain disorder c.t.e. and the repeated head trauma football players suffer. the statement came monday in a congressional committee from the nfl's senior vice president for health and safety, jeff miller. >> mr. miller, is there a link between football and

degenerative brain disorders like c.t.e.? >> research shows a number of retired nfl players were diagnosed with c.t.e. the answer is yes. but there are a number of questions that come with that. >> reporter: that research dating back to a study released last september found c.t.e. in 87 of 91 former pro players. the autopsy shows former players like those who committed suicide, had the disorder. >> the broader point and the one your question gets to is what that necessarily means and where do we go from here with that information? >> reporter: the admission is a departure from years of league policy. in 2013, the nfl settled a class action lawsuit with former players, paying $765 million. pledging future research on the subject. but the league did not admit any wrongdoing. nor that football was the cause of the retired players' disorders. in a statement to nbc news

miller's point, that a lot more questions needs to be answered. adding, we want the facts to develop better solutions. that's why we're committed to advancing medical research on head trauma, including c.t.e., to let the science go where the science goes. >> c.t.e. can only be diagnosed after death. with many athletes suffering diseases like early on set dementia and als, this is looked at as a positive sign for people hoping changes come to the game they love to watch. this is a question parents have been asking, do i let my kids play football? now that you have the nfl talking about that link, that becomes a more difficult question to answer. >> willie, thank you. also this morning, disturbing story. we're learning more about this u.s.-born, isis fighter, detained in northern iraq. richard engel is on that story for us. good morning. what can you tell us? >> good morning. as far as we can tell, this is

alleged american isis member surrendered on the battlefield. it's unclear what will happen to him next. >> reporter: kurdish fighters say this is a video of an isis fighter just after he surrendered to their position in northern iraq. when they asked where he was from, to their surprise, he said, united states. the kurds say they found the 26-year-old's virginia driver's license on him. an uncle confirmed his identity to nbc news and said the family thought the young man was traveling in europe. but there was a different reaction at the family home in alexandr alexandria. >> i'm not talking to nobody. leave the area. >> reporter: his father tried to drive reporters away. angrily insisting -- >> wrong information. >> reporter: all their information about his son was wrong. a kurdish news agency

that he crossed the turkish border a few months ago and joined isis. when the kurds asked where he'd been, he answered, mosul, an isil stronghold in iraq. the kurdish fighters say he was trying to leave isis when he stumbled into kurdish-held territory. a bizarre desertion. >> u.s. officials say isis is facing growing pressure to keep its fighters loyal, as the group is facing pressure and military attacks from the united states, russia, iran and a whole host of other enemies. back to you. >> richard, thank you very much. let us make a turn now and get a look at the weather. al is off today and dylan is? >> hi, guys. we haven't seen much rain in louisiana and texas, but the flooding is a major concern. the rivers are still cresting right now. this is some of the worst non-hurricane related flooding ever seen. homes are underwat

towns are underwater. even though we are starting to and even thou we're starting to see the skies dry out. it's going to take at least another week before the rivers come below the flood stage. they're high above it with record flooding in some situations it will be a problem for the rest of the week. you can see the red diamonds. that's where we have major flooding occurring as the water trickles down through the rivers. we're looking at the pearl river, it's current level, 19.37 feet. that's more than hurricane isaac produced way back when. the sabine river, it's still above its record flood stage, we still have the a chance of seeing a half of inch, to an inch of rainfall in louisiana. an area of stronger storms we could see isolated tornados, but the biggest threat is hail and also some damaging wind gusts.

i was so interested in understanding who i am, what i come from. it's very important to me to know that i have been to other cultures. >> there you are in the canary islands shooting this movie. each day, you didn't know if the movie could continue shooting because the finances were so tough. what did you learn and remember or feel about your past life in atlant lalantis while you were ? >> a lot of things happened not just to me but the other cast members. you'd be holding a glass, and it would break. we had trouble adjusting to the time change. i went on a little trek on one of the mountains there. turned around and there was this huge human, about over 8 feet tall. golden, looking at me. i'm looking at him, and i'm thinking, this is what hit me, i'm looking at another sense of time.

is. i don't know what he is. i'm not confused about where i am, but i know he came from another time. that happened to me. >> when you connect with a past life, shirley, can it comfortable, or can it be upsetting? >> if it's a past life for which you are trying to balance your karma today, it can be upsetting. if you killed somebody in a past life and you feel guilty about loving them now, you know it shall. >> has that ever happened? >> yeah. >> that's a whole other interview. before i let you go, you're a news junky. >> yes. >> you love keeping in touch with what's going on. >> don't ask me about him. >> no, no. i was going to ask you about the election. but the last thing i want to say is, you don't like being called iconic or a legend and, yet, everyone refers to you that way. >> well, it's because i've lived a long time. i've done a lot of stuff. been recognized in a lot of ways. but i'mt

not be like everybody else, but i'm just happy being myself. frankly, don't want a lot of frills and bells and whistles. like to be alone. love to sit with my dogs as a regular person. eat when i want to. stuff everybody kind of really wants in their life, and those are my same ambitions. >> at the risk of upsetting you as we end the interview, you are legendary, and you are iconic. one of my favorite people to talk to. >> thank you, matt. >> pleasure, as always. >> terrific. >> she'll be back with kathie lee and hoda. the book is "above the line." what will they wear? your chance to pick the dress and tux and other stuff for our wedding couple. this is "today" on

great projects now. i just finished "billionaire boys club." i'm working in atlanta right now. i have to fly back tonight to shoot "baby driver." i'm a get away driver with jamie foxx and kevin spacey and jon hamm. >> good to see you and happen by birthday again. >> thank you. >> "allegiant" opens on friday. steak recipe is coming up. first, this is "today" on nbc.

there is a link between football and degenerative brain disorders likec.t.e.? >> certainly, the research shows a number of retired nfl players ar c.t.e., so the answer to that question is certainly yes. there is also a number of questions that come with that. i think the broader point, and the one your question gets to, is what that necessarily means and where do we go from here with that >> that is significant because the nfl has never explicitly made the connection. they t settled the lawsuit but never said there was a direct link. a study released last september found c.t.e. in 87 of 91 former pro players. the autopsy show former football great greats, those who committed suicide, had c.t.e. there are more questions that need to be answered but the nfl wants the facts so they can develop better solutions. let the science

death because you have to get into the brain. >> autopsy of the brain. >> a physician at the hearing yesterday said, we have to be able to scan to see it before it gets to the point where it causes someone to feelt like thy have to take their own life. >> i feel we're just starting to learn. >> yeah. >> we're just getting the first cases and the first diagnoses of c.t.e. >> yeah. >> i i think this will certainl have a snowball effect down the road. for parents, it does force you to ask that question. if you have a child interested in football, which we've been asking since we've been followingn the story, what woul you do? i mean, it's a hard thing. as a parent, i think you want to -- your kids to play a game they love. but -- >> football is so engrained in so many of our lives. kids have their players they look up to. they want to play when they get a chance to g play. as parents, what do you do? >> i struggle with it. i played football my entire life. from the time i was old enough to play through high school. i played footb

summer camps and was knocking heads and doing everything else. i took so many great things away from ngthat. i hadth a great high school coa. some of my best friends in the world were from that. we were buddies. i learned about being on a team and being unselfish and all those things you learn from sports. >> if george said, dad, we want to play. >> here's my cop out answer. kids in new york city don't play football because there is d nowhere to play. i don't have to worry about it. there's no -- >> note' fair, willie. you have to answer the question. >> i mean, i don't know. i think the answer is no. i think there are enough other sports at this point that i think i can get him interested in. ii do think though at the third and fourth grade level, i'm not a doctor. don't take my word on this. but the impacts are not such that -- i mean, they're basically falling into each other. >> they're still developing and not taking hits like that. >> right. >> i do think though that we're still just beginning to learn. the research is still not there. >> right. >> w

consequences. i mean, it really makes you ask those questions. both my boys play soccer. they have a lot of con tugs cushion -- concussions, as well. > absolutely. >> high school, football and soccer, they're proposing changes where there's no tackle. >> right. >> during training. actually maybe just during games. >> that's right. >> same with soccer, less heading of the balls in my kids' leagues. i think those are important things that i think all sports, coaches and all of that, they're looking at it now. >> the league now is going to have to grapple with what this means for their fwam. >> game. >> absolutely. probably one of my favorite videos of the week so far. >> it's tuesday. >> every time there is a "hamilton" video up there, it goes viral. the cast of "hamilton" were at the white house yesterday, performing in front of a group of high school kids. they said it was part of a workshop for kids who probably don't

see broadway. the whole cast performing before the high schoolers. what everybody is talking about today was when the creator and star of "hamilton," lin-manuel miranda, did a free style rap in the rose garden. he asked the president to hold up the cards with random words. like obamacare. he has to free style. >> that he had not seen before. >> right. >> take a look at what happens. ♪ throwing up some words, i'm gonna stay free styling you never heard ♪ ♪ constitution, potus, i'm free styling, obamacare, okay, i'm looking up because it was hopeless ♪ ♪ before and now the federalist papers. hamilton wrote the other 51 and greater ♪ ♪ canine and the nine, oh, my gosh, i'm free styling down the line ♪ ♪ nasa, i want to see if we can get over to mars ♪ ♪ rap more bars and leave a carbon footprint u

a coffee costs 1.50 euro. a coffee please is 1.30 euro. a hello, coffee please is 1 euro. >> some may pay 7 euros for being so rude. >> there's a sign. wouldn't you save yourself 50 cents? >> maybe people don't read the sign. >> the moral of the story, just be nice. >> yeah. coffee, please. >> if you need monetary incentive to be nice to people, there is a deeper problem there. than the price of the cup of coffee. >> that's all i got. >> we'll help you through this. we've got the wild, wild animal kingdom. two amazing things we want to show you. first, have you seen this photo? i think this takes wheale watching to a new level. on theirot kayaks. look what comes up bth
