investigation. the trump transition team saying hegseth has vigorously denied any and all accusations and no charges were filed. and on another highly controversial pick now former republican congressman matt gaetz for attorney general. the senate republicans say there could be enough opposition in the senate to sink his nomination. trump made clear he wants what are called recess appointments for some of these picks that would allow them to serve two years without any senate vote. overnight the senate majority leader john thune didn't rule that out, saying all options are on the table. >> peter, thank you very much. as the president-elect builds out the administration, one name frequently mentioned is elon musk. the tech billionaire has been by trump's side during the campaign and in the wake of the election and promises to play a big role in the next white house. nbc's capitol hill correspondent

ryan moore has that part of the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. elon musk won't be a federal employee. instead, he is tasked with offering suggestions to make government more efficient. already it's here he is becoming one of donald trump's most trusted advisors. president donald trump is all in on elon musk. >> i am a person that believes in high iqs and his is about as high as they get. >> reporter: the world's richest man betting big on his fellow billionaire. offering up help to correct the economic direction of the country. >> how much do you think we can rip out of this wasted $6.5 trillion harris/biden budget? >> i think at least 2 thrill. >> yeah! >> reporter: musk making his presence known in trump world. sources tell nbc news he is a near constant presence at the mar-a-lago transition hq. >> i can't get him out of here. he likes this place.

and you know what i like having him here. >> reporter: he traveled with trump for his first trip back to washington since his election victory and in a report not confirmed by nbc news "the new york times" citing two iranian officials that says that musk met with iran's ambassador to the united nations in an attempt to smooth tensions between the countries. trump also reportedly hand the the phone to musk while talking to ukrainian president volodymr zelenskyy. but musk's close access to trump does not come without potential problems. the billionaire's investigators companies have major contracts with the federal government. his company spacex received billions of dollars it in federal projects. >> are you kidding me? >> reporter: his company tesla sells more electric cars than any other company. if trump slashes the federal incentives for evs, it could make it more difficult for other carmakers to enter the market. on capitol hill republicans seem open to letting the successful businessman have a crack at finding ways to make government work better.

>> with his leadership and cutting waste in the government as he has taken us to the stars, i think the ability to cut and turbo charge this economy. >> reporter: while democrats remain skeptical. >> we all want government efficiency. in the past, that has failed miserably. but let's see what he comes up with. >> reporter: and musk has not responded to concerns over those potential conflicts of interest. this new department of government efficiency that musk will head with vivek ramaswamy has no statutory power. all they can do is offer recommendations. those would have to be pass into law by congress before cuts could be made. >> thank you. a closer look at this unfolding trump transition. kristen welker, moderator of "meet the press" on duty this morning. i mean, look, these are explosive picks. but there is nothing surprising about them. donald trump said exactly what he wants to do and the kind of folks he wants to serve in the cabinet. >> you are absolutely right.

no one should be surprised. president-elect donald trump on the campaign trail talked about the fact that he wanted to give rfk a big role in the health space, talked about the fact that 'wanted to overhaul the justice department, and by the way, that is a lot of what we heard from matt gaetz. so while some are viewing these picks as controversial, the reality is he signaled this was the direction that he is going in. the question becomes what happens with their confirmation process. well, some senators are expressing skepticism. i think the key point here, savannah, we haven't heard one republican senator say outright they will vote against these picks. so, at this point in time there is no reason to believe that these picks can't get confirmed. >> they may be controversial and explosive, but as you said, not splicing. there is this talk, and it may just be talk, if there is resistance the president-elect will use previously up to now

not used power to adjourn both houses of congress and potentially just have his whole cabinet serve by recess appointment. is that a conspiracy theory or is that something that could potentially happen? >> well, senator thune, the new republican leader in the senate, poised to, said nothing is off the table. reality is, i think they will try to let the process play out. the new congress will be sworn in at the beginning of january. they will start to hold confirmation hearings. the inauguration is not until january 20. one to top senator told me the goal is to get his picks confirmed by the inauguration. if that process gets held up, then you could s then you could start to see real talk about another road. >> all right. thank you so much. of course, we can see kristen sunday on "meet the press." air traffic controller is being praised for his quick actions ensuring an american airlines flight didn't hit a mountain just moments after takeoff. it happened on wednesday. the flight was leaving honolulu

headed to l.a. the air traffic controller stepped in after the pilot did not make an assigned turn.t, 12. >> the faa says the controller's actions ensured that t take a listen. >> the faa says the controller's actions ensured that the aircraft remained safely above that nearby terrain. the agency is investigating. meantime, american airlines released a statement that reads in part, the safety of our customers is our top priority. there was no issues with terrain clearance based on the trajectory of the aircraft. >> looks like a lot of questions there. quick thinking air traffic controller. craig is here. good morning. >> good morning. here in the northeast the fire danger is expected to ramp up this weekend with windy conditions adding fuel to those bone dry drought conditions we have been talking . not even new york is immune with brush fires popping up near

train tracks, even in popular parks as well. dylan is standing by with the forecast for the weekend. first, nbc's emilie ikeda from one of the fires burning in new jersey this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: hey there, craig. good morning to you. there have been roughly 1,300 wildfires that have broken out across the state this year. nearly half of them started burning within the last six weeks. it's made for the busiest firefall season here at coil airfield with firefighters relying on helicopters like these, not only to track blazes movements but to dump water, douse flames in hard-to-reach places. this morning there are growing fears strong winds could fan the flames of wildfires across the northeast over the next couple of days. in new york city, smoke seen above upper manhattan as a brush fire burned it week amid an historic dry spell in the big pumpkin.

>> as the dry conditions continue, we anticipate we will see more of these before rain comes. >> reporter: new york city's fire department says it responded to a record 229 brush fires, over a two-week period. the jennings creek fire burning in new york and new jersey is now 50% contained, nearly week after it started. so some schools are closed today as a precaution as crews use smaller controlled burns in an effort to contain the larger blaze. >> we are setting fire to fight the fire. don't be alarmed. it's where we wouldn't it. it's fire we are putting down. >> reporter: nearly 60% of the northeast is currently under moderate drought. with it especially pronounce inside new jersey, the state seeing the driest conditions in nearly 120 years. this fire in burlington county has been burning since july 4th. parts of pennsylvania, new york, and all of new jersey and delaware are under a drought watch and warnings with

voluntary water conservation efforts. climate scientists say if the northeast zunltd see rain soon we can expect more fires through the holiday season. the drought is so severe in some places, firefighters can no longer go to their same water sources, rivers, reservoirs to go down with the helicopters, pick up water and douse flames for wildfires. it's why across the region we hear from officials urging residents to conserve water with simple steps to take shorter showers, not run dishwashers or washing machines unless they are entirely full and use low flow showerheads, faucets and toilets. water becomes increasingly precious in this parched landscape. >> all the things your dad told you to do. >> right. >> don't stand with the refrigerator open. >> lights out, turn the lights off. dylan, a first look at the forecast. >> good morning. it is going to be very, very dry. in fact, we haven't had rain in more than a month.

humidity is low and gusty winds through the weekend. red flag warnings and elevated fire risk in the northeast and new england, too. now, keep in mind the smallest spark, tossing a cigarette out the window, these things can start a fire that seems small. when you have humidity around 10 to 20% and wind gusts up to around 25 to 30 miles an hour, that's how these fires spread so rapidly and then they get out of control because of all the dry brush. into today we could see wind gusts up to 15 to 20 miles an hour and tomorrow we could see gusts as high as 25 up to 30 miles per hour. albany especially in, boston, too, everything is just bone dry and these fires could spread very rapidly. across the country, mild temperatures through this afternoon. across the up every ier midwest and snow possible in the sierra mountain range.

model, 8:10. model, actress and entrepreneur elle macpherson. >> she has been a trail blazer since the early 1980s. now she is pulling back the curtain on her life. a new book called elle. >> we will talk to her in a moment. first, a bit more of her story. >> for decades, supermodel elle macpherson was on top of the world. the aussie known as the body was everywhere from the runway to magazines, tv shows. >> where are you from? >> australia. i just moved here. >> and movies. >> ruth and i are recklessly in love. that's most certainly enough for us. for now. >> she was even the first model to host "snl." >> great to be in new york. >> a successful businesswoman and a mother of two, macpherson appeared to have it all. but behind that seemingly perfect smile she was struggling

with self-image and addiction. she opened up about her personal bat tulsa in her new book titled "elle: life, lessons, and learning to trust yourself." i was in a horrible downward spiral, she writes. often i would drink after i put my children to bed. i would sit down by myself and have shots of vodka. her alcoholism eventually landed her in rehab. getting sober renewed her commitment to health and led to a spiritual awakening. in 2014, the model and actress started her own wellness company. and in 2017, after being diagnosed with breast cancer and having two lumpectomy, she chose to go against her doctor's spena suggestions for conventional treatment, opting for a holistic approach, spending eight months in arizona undergoing alternative therapies. saying no to standard medical solutions was the hardest thing i have done in my life. saying no to my inner sense

would have been even harder. years later, the now 60-year-old says she is in clinical remission and celebrating wellness in all ago pebts of her life. she writes, i have never felt better than i do now. we are happy to have elle with us. good morning. >> if great to be here. >> this book is a real journey. you are so honest about the good times and the times that have been struggles. what made you want to tell the story and open up in this way? >> yeah, listen, i began in 2020, and which is kind of interesting because 2020 hindsight, right? i started to realize that a lot of things were being crystalized in my life. i was -- i felt like i was really coming into my own, and i just sat down and began to write. people were asking me advice on things. it took four years, because it's very considered. there is no stories in here or i don't share anything unless it has a purpose, and the purpose

is what is the tool for us all to navigate life. >> i think what people will realize is you are a lot like every other woman. it seems surprising to us, but you were insecure in front of the camera. you didn't feel good enough. so many women walk through life to this moment not having that feeling. people say, but why did you have that feeling? how did you come through that? >> it's courage. courage to walk through those uncomfortable moments. get out of your comfort zone. for me, i wanted what modeling could bring me more it than i wanted to be comfortable in front. camera. so practice makes progress and progress makes process, and here i am today, you know, 40 years later still doing the same thing, in different ways. >> of course. >> i love how you wrote about sobriety. i think it's really inspiring. you talked about going to an aa meeting. you said, why would i ever be embarrassed to go to an aa meeting? maybe people should be

embarrassed about their behavior when they are drinking or not sober. your sobriety so so precious to you and so hard fought? >> there are two chapters that are very -- were very important for me to write. there was the recovery chapter and the how. so one is about stopping drinking. the other is about how to stay stopped. i just felt that those chapters were really important for people who are struggling or who have questions about any kind of addiction, because it's not just drinking. we can be addicted to fear. we can be addicted to drama, we could shop, have emotional relationships when we don't really want to. so, it's about really addressing those things that are behind the addiction, because the addiction is just the symptom. and for me drinking was just a symptom of other things. >> what was behind it? >> therein lies the journey if you read the book. >> it's all in there.

>> you know, a lot has been made about your journey with breast cancer, and you chose not to go through chemotherapy. as i was reading this part of your book it hit me because i think there are a lot of women who have gone through breast. i had, too. and doctors give you multiple answers to the same question. >> exactly. >> some say you need chemo. some say you don't need chemo. some say you can't make a mistake either way. it is a tricky choice. how did you come to your choice? >> well, exactly that. i saw many, many doctors, and there was no consistency in what to do. and -- >> it was not in your lymph nodes. so it made for multiple options? >> absolutely. and there was no real clear path and there was no assurance either way, as you say. and so the only thing you can do

is go inside and feel what feels right for you based on all of the information that you have and make an educated, intelligent decision, and follow it through 1,000%. dedicated, committed, persistent, and believe in what you are doing. that's the same for all life. but interestingly, that chapter that talks about cancer, there is only one in the book, so if you want to get the book for that one chapter, there is a lot more in it than what you will expect. it was really about how to navigate making choices when you are gripped with fear. that's really the tool, is, okay, it doesn't matter what the situation is because we all have situations where we're confused. >> and now you are cancer free at age 60. tell me about 60. i kind of dig 60.

are you liking 60? repotting is my thing. how does it feel to be 60 in your skin? >> wonderful. feels like a new beginning. i feel so alive, vibrant. i have a sense of vitality that i have never had before. i am in love. my children are thriving. so i think many people feel at least in our parents' generation that 60 was the end of the road. but i just feel so grateful for the life i have had, grateful for the experiences i am having, and file enthused. >> i am with you, girl, all the way. 100 with you. this book is full of life lessons. >> yeah, it's not just stories, but the takeaways. >> elle, thank you. what a pleasure. >> you are welcome. >> miss dylan? a great conversation. thanks, guys. we have some pretty nice weather in the forecast, although it's been very dry. we could use rain. we are getting more sunshine in the northeast, a little bit breezy, too, today, but windier

tomorrow. mild across the upper midwest. continued sunshine down through the southern plains. 60s and 70s with lot of sun o snow in the sierra mountain range and higher elevations. waiting foa bigger storm r >> and that's your latest forecast. as mr. roker would say -- >> best time of the morning. >> good news. this time yesterday, back to it

now. >> did you hear? >> we'll play it after. >> congratulations. >> enough about craig. "popstart." first up the beatles. a trailer out for a new documentary produced by martin scorsese featuring newly discovered beatles footage, exploring how beatlemania swept the country in 1964 as the band landed to unprecedented fanfare. here is a look. >> we were like, america. america. >> great being here in new york. okay? >> washington. >> is that the place? i don't know. washington. i just move so fast. >> i think the craziness was going on in the world and in the band. we were kind of normal and the rest of the world was crazy. everybody got into the mania whenever the beatles came to town. >> when we came it was quite shortly after kennedy had been assassinated. maybe america needed something like the beatles to be lifted out of sorrow.

>> i was talking to dick clark once and i asked how much rock and roll paraphernalia he had. he said he had the door to the airplane when the beatles landed and opened up the door, jfk, whatever it was. >> wow. >> the door to -- i thought that was a cool thing. >> did he have a pic? >> i have kid rock's guitar string. it starts streaming november 29th on disney+. next up, george clooney headed to the great white wave, making a broadway debut in march with a show about journalist robert r murrow. the production dropping a sneak peek with this trailer video. >> what matters honestly, the facts. integrity. accuracy. truth. ♪

level, like cranks it up. >> it's a different animal, but i love what they have done. difficult to make a musical into a terrific movie. and everybody involved was so devoted and in love with the material, and that character, you know, is interesting. there is some dark aspects to that. nothing is as it seems, as we know in this movie. there is nobody all good and all bad. but it that wizard, you know, there are leaders throughout human history who have seized and enhanced power through demonizing others. that's an ugly history. but, you know, even our early settlers, you know, they said that the indigenous people were satanic and witches, and how about animal cruelty that we bring up? >> there is a lot of layers to this. i did tease this. >> what? >> did you know he used to be into mime? i wanted to know -- >> how does it work? >> was miming going to be your thing? >> i wanted to be -- yes, i did.
