Transcripts For KNTV Today 20240622

Sharknado, and the cliffhanger butting all other cliffhangers to shame today. This, july 23rd, 2015. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a thursday morning. Great to see you. Remember that time we all got eaten by a flying shark. People waking up going, oh, they survived. A movie, not over, i know that. I really believed you in the role of matt lauer. Very good. Were going to have fun with sharknado 3 later on, but we want to start with a thursday morning with serious news. Candid and troubling comments from fbi director james comey on the threats from isis facing the United States, and that groups increased ability to inspire americans to extremism. Kristen welker is at the white house with more. Officials here have long signaled the terrorist group isis, also known as isil, poses a danger to the u. S. , but the fbi director was asked if the group is now a bigger threat to the u. S. Than al qaeda. His answer, yes. Underscoring the level of concern here. Isil is not your parents al qaeda. Its a very different model. And by virtue of that model, currently the threat were worrying in the homeland most of all. Thats james comey telling an adyunls that isis has become a bigger threat to the United States than al qaeda. Their radicalization efforts have been especially effective, reaching thousands of americans through social media. Urging followers who cant travel to the middle east to kill where you are. They have adopted a model of social media to crowdsource terrorism. U. S. Officials have arrested a significant number of radicalized americans in the last eight weeks. They include some of those who were planning attacks in the july 4th holiday. Critics have accused the administration of underplaying the threat in the past, as reese ptdly as last september, Senior Intelligence officials were downplaying the groups capacity to attack the u. S. , but earlier this month, president obama held a press conference on the growing isis threat. This will not be quick. It is a longterm campaign. Isil is opportunistic and it is nimble. Comeys remarks highlight the deepering concern among u. S. Officials about isis efforts to inspire violence in the United States. What keeps me up at night is the isil threat in the homeland. And i worry very much about what i cant see. Now, comey also said in addition to tracking people who have been radicalized within the United States, officials have also tracked dozens of americans ranging in age from 18 to 62 who have traveled overseas to fight with isis. All this as the u. S. Continues its air campaign to defeat the terrorist group at its source in iraq and syria. Savannah, back to you. All right, kristen welker, thank you very much. Lets bring in clint van zandt. Good morning to you. Even as we learn more and more about isis, clear isis has bekm become ascendant and more and more influence. All along, officials would say its not really as much a threat to the u. S. Homeland. They do more damage overseas. This is a real change to say that isis has now eclimsed al qaeda in terms of the threat to this country. Yeah, two things going on. Number one, the u. S. Military, now, they have been doing a wonderful job overseas of eliminated the al qaeda threat. Number two, isis is continuing to improve its social media recruitment. Right now, there are 21,000 known individuals that are watching isis type of social media on the internet. When the fbi director says its what you cant see, its at least 21,000 people who do see, and what they see are isis recruitment, and realize what isis is doing, many times, is playing to the lowest denominator in the United States. Theyre looking for somebody who is very troubled. Theyre looking for somebody who wants a purpose in life. Who uses drugs, and who is vulnerable to social radicalization. Thats the type of person that isis is targeting. Al qaeda all along has always wanted to repeat that grand spectacular mass casualty attack along the lines of 9 11, where isis seems satisfied to inspire one person hero there, take whatever weapon you can get, do as much damage as you can. Is that why theyre more frightening right now, because they can attack any soft target in any number . As far as isis is concerned, now, savannah, you can recruit these individuals. It takes no training whatsoever. You dont have to provide funds for them. We witnessed that perhaps in chattanooga, as were learning about the level of radicalization that that individual had to kill five of our service people. So its a nocost brainer for isis to just put out propaganda and say you in america, we can give you a reason to hate. Now, pick up a gun and go out and kill somebody. So when they see the level of Media Coverage that theyre able to get from, in that case, killing five of our servicemen, they say why should we invest more when we can get our puppets in america who are following this rhetoric to do it and itdizant cost us anything other than the production of a video . The fbi director said hes crowd sourcing terror. Clint, thank you as always. Lets turn to politics and donald trump heads to the center of the storm today. In the wake of his controversial comments deriding mexican immigrants, a trip to the border. Katy tur joins us from laredo, texas. Good morning. Good morning, matt. Breaking just this morning, the border putroneatrolpatrolmens union has pulled out of all trump events today, saying it was not their intention to indorse any candidate, but adding, make no mistake, our border with mexico is not secure and theres no doubt we need to have an honest discussion about that. This morning, donald trump is set to make his first visit to the Mexican Border as a president ial candidate. He made Border Security his rallying cry with these controversial kaunts about united nationsun undocumented immigrants. Theyre bringing drugs, crime, theyre rapist, and some, i assume, are good people. Two weeks ago, trump told me he visited the border twoory three times before. When was the last time you were there the. Probably three years ago. If you havent been there in three years, how do you know its such a problem . I knew it was bad then, its worse now. Insisting his comments about un undocumented immigrants wont hurt him. Im going to put them to work. Trump is a lightning rod for criticism. Rick perry tore into trump wednesday, calling his candidacy a cancer, and blasting his comments on immigrants. Donald trump the candidate is a sore of division, wrongly demonizing mexican americans for political sport. And after trump publicly revealed Lindsey Grahams cell phone number graham used humor to hit back. Starring in this tongue in cheek video showing how to destroy a cell phone. And joking to Nbcs Kelly Odonnell about trumps temperament. Would you want to give him the Nuclear Codes . If he had a bad day, maybe he would put them on the nrlt net. Trump defended his tough talk, arguing his rivals are picking fights with him. Now, am i supposed to, you know, say, oh, its okay for them to say, one guy, i guess, lindsey graham, called me a jackass. Am i supposed to say okay . Im called a jackass. You have to fight back. Now, as for that wall he promised to build, it would need to span four states, be 2,000 miles long. He tells me that it would be impenetrable. Experts say in order to build that, it would cost billions of dollars. Trump says he would have mexico build it. Unclear exactly how he would do that. Also, breaking just this morning, the hill reporting that trump will consider running as an independent if the rnc doesnt treat him fairly, and so far, he has said the rnc has not treated him fairly whatsoever. Matt. Katy tur for us. Thanks very much. Meantime, from mr. Trumps campaign to his campaign cash, after saying he was worth 10 billion last week, were getting an inside look at his income. Peter alexander has more on that. Good morning to you. Here it is, the mammoth 92page Financial Disclosure form. One thing for sure, trump is a rich man. By far the richest in the race. He holds executive positions or stakes in 515 business entities. More than half of those are named after trump. And his income last year alone, at least 362 million. His fame has been derived from his fortune. Now for the first time, the world is getting a detailed look at just how much hes really worth. I dont need anybodys money. The answer, more than 1. 4 billion. Trump has boasted hes worth 10 billion. His net worth is huge. What we dont know is how huge it is because these documents simply arent built to calculate this kind of wealth. Because the Financial Disclosure form only asked for broad ranges. Nearly 2 million for seven speeches like this one for samsung. Samsung is an amazing company. Close to 600,000 from the central park carousel. Hes still making up to 50,000 off his 1987 bestseller, the art of the deal. And before nbc dropped trumps controversial comments on immigration, the ms. Universe pageant was a money maker, earning trump more than 3 million last year. But trumps really raking it in on the green. His golf empire more than a half billion. His personal water brant, a cool 2aty,000. At least another 1 million for licenseing mattresses. And with acting credits like home alone 2 and zoolander. Trumps pension from the screen actors guild, 110,000. Even his wife is bringing in 105,000 from licensing deals including a skin care collection called caviar that actually has caviar in it. Thats good skin care right there. Bottom line, if donald trump wanted to, he could sell a couple buildings and finance an entire president ial campaign himself. The question right now is whether he wants to and whether the Republican Party is going to give him the chance to be their nominee. Or if he runs that independent campaign hes been talking about. Peter, thank you very much. There are new twists in the sandra bland case this morning. Shes the woman who died in a texas jail cell three days after being arrested in a traffic step. John yang is outside that jail. John, good morning to you. Good morning, matt. New twists indeed. This morning, oflficials are saying the autopsy on sandra brand shows she had marijuana in her system. They want to figure out how long it had been there to determine if it had impact on her death. In order to do that, they made a request of the bland family that the family attorney said is disturbing. Late wednesday night, authorities asked Sandra Blands family to preserve her body for more testing. Now, there have been reports in the media that marijuana was found in ms. Blands system. And i can confirm that. As a result of new information that we discovered today, the district attorney, mr. Mathis, asked the civil attorney to please preserve the body. The prosecutor also said theres evidence she tried to cut herself one to two weeks prior to her death. On her first night in jail, bland left a voice mail message for a friend, struggling to understand what was happening to her. Im still just at a loss for words, honestly, about this whole process, how theyre switching lanes with no signal turn into all this. The voice mail was obtained by ktrk in houston. Newly released documents show earlier that day, she told jail officials she had tried to kill herself in 2014 after losing a baby but said she was not suicidal on that day. Her familys attorney said they were unaware of the past attempt and that in any event, it doesnt matter. She had just gotten to texas the day before. She was about to start a job. Now, others are wondering how this traffic stop went so bad so fast. Get out of the car now texas state trooper said bland kicked him in the leg during the incident that lasted about 15 minutes. Nbc news edited excerpts. Why am i being apprehended . Once the fuse is lit, its not good. We watched the video with houston defense attorney rusty harden who is a former prosecutor. Shes not entitled to physically resist him, but he has got certain responsibilities to make the situation not escalate out of control. I will light you up. Get out. Wow. Now. Wow. For a failure to signal . She feels shes being treated unfairly, but he knows traffic encounters can end up in something bad. Texas Officials Say that with the familys cooperation, the further testing shouldnt delay the funeral scheduled for saturday in chicago. Matt. John rang on this story for us. Thank you very much.

Donald trump made immigration a big issue in the president ial race. Today shes expected to visit the mexico texas border in laredo. The case that transfixed the nation two decades ago. Susan smith a South Carolina mom convicted of murdering her two young boys by driving them into a lake. Shes speaking out from behind bars. Nbc Stephanie Gosk is here with more. Good morning to you. Good morning. The susan smith story captivated the country in the mid 90s. There was heart wrenching sadness for a mother who said her kids were kidnapped following by horror when she admitted to killing them herself. Smith talked to a reporter this week. Its a kind of explanation for something seemingly unexapplicable. Signed simply susan. Susan smith is finally getting her side of the story in a letter written to newspaper reporter Harrison Cahill from her South Carolina jail cell. 20 years after she was sentenced to life for killing her two sons. Im not the Monster Society thinks i am. Im far from it. Something went wrong that night. The last time she spoke publicly was in 1994. A distraught mother begging the public for help in finding her boys 14monthold and 3yearold. Claiming they had been kidnapped by a black man during a carjacking. I cant describe what im going through. My heart aches so bad. I cant sleep. I cant eat. I cant do anything but think about them. But in a jawdropping twist just days later, smith confessed to police that there was no kidnapping. She said she strapped her boys into the backseat of the family car and pushed it into a nearby lake. Now in the handwritten page and a half letter smith writes i had planned to kill myself first and leave a note blind telling what happened. She denied years of speculation that she killed her sons in order to be with the man who she was having an affair with. I have yet been able to speak on my behalf. It has been hard to listen to lie after lie and not be able to defend myself. Its frustrating to say the least. But smith ends her letter by raising more questions writing, this is only a small piece of the story. Smith allegations that a black man kidnapped her children was explosive at the time. She said she made it up to protect the people she knew would be devastated by the news that her sons were dead. Its hard to imagine how this explanation is going to end their pain now. We were just on the set when the story broke. And the tragic and the controversy of it with the elements that you just mentioned. Absolutely. Its a crushing story. Yeah. All right, steph, thank you very much. Let us get a check of the weather from al. And were looking at two regions getting different kinds of weather around. First of all, the jet stream dipping down to the south welcome relief here in the northeast, but our friends in the south no relief in sight. So for today look at the temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s for portland to washington cleveland, and the humidity levels are nice and low. The problem, though is for our friends down south. Theyre going to stay with that heat and humidity is going to feel like 104 today in dallas. Tusk lou is a 103. Atlanta will feel like 93. 110 in little rock. Houston will feel like 108 even going to the weeke more of the same. The temperatures will feel well into the triple digits. Thats whats going on aroun good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. In the bay area we are enjoining some cool weather as we start out at 60 degrees across most of the bay with the low clouds some sunshine coming out in spots, but only reaching 63 degrees in San Francisco, the north bay with some clearing will top out at 80 degrees, east bay 73 degrees and the trivalley a high of 81 degrees, in the upper 70s for the peninsula and south bay, but temperatures will be climbing as we head into the weekend. And thats your latest weather. Matt . Al, thank you very much. Here is an unusual story. An alert in florida where people are being urged to stay away from armadillos. The reason is the fear that they are spreading leprosy. Kerry sanders has the story. Good morning to you, kerry. Reporter good morning. Im at the zoo and im standing well back from the zoos vet who is holding an armadillo. There are two schools of thought. Some say contact with the armadillos like this here at the petting area are fine. Other Scientists Say because so little is understood about how an armadillo passes leprosy to humans, its perhaps best to keep all contact at nil. Leprosy, while the disfiguring disease dates back to the old testament, sadly its still prevalent in many countries across asia, africa, and india. But here in the United States, the centers for Disease Control said there are only 100 or so new leprosy cases diagnosed each year. Most in southern states, including texas, louisiana, and florida. Florida sees typically just 10 cases of leprosy a year. In the last seven months here, there are already nine. The spike is being linked to armadillos. Ron mcgill is Zoo Miami Communications director for the zoo. Other than human beings, theyre the only mammal that are believed to carry that disease. But 2001, genetic study found that armadillos naturally harbor the bacteria that causes leprosy in humans. One possible reason for the increased number of cases in florida . A surge in land development. Armadillo habitats are being torn apart, pushing the Nocturnal Animals into the daylight. All nine people in Brevard County diagnosed with leprosy also known as hansons disease had an exposure to armadillos. But doctor, hamani, from the department of health in Brevard County said not to panic. Youre not going to die if youre exposed. Reporter no . Usually people here in the United States do not die because of hansen disease. Dr. R zechariah holding one of the armadillos here this morning. Why do you thinks it safe to hold these at the zoo . We have checked all the armadillos at the zoo and we know they are healthy and dont know that they dont have leprosy. Reporter of course, another piece of the puzzle is only about 10 of the population is even susceptible to getting leprosy. The real problem is i dont know whether im in the 10 or the 90 . So, matt, guys, im keeping my safe distance. If you heard my voice a little scratchy this morning, it has nothing to do with the armadillo. We were worried about you yeah. You sound pretty bad there. Thank you, kerry. Why dont you do the standup from cleveland, contrary . Thank you, kerry. We appreciate it. Thank you, doctor, as well. And thank you to dr. Zechariah. Milwaukee .

Nationwide is on your side all right. Were back at 7 43. Now to the search for what appears to be a lion on the loose in milwaukee of all places. We showed you this video on wednesday, but are officials any closer to solving this mystery . Today, craig melvin is so brave hes made his way there. Good morning to you. Reporter hey, good morning to you. So check it out there. That house with the green umbrella thats where that video that you just showed that wheres the video itself was shot. This is the backyard where that big cat was last seen monday morning. The guy who lives here tells me that the official told him that it was most certainly a Young Mountain lion. In fact, the cat left behind several paw prints, an official confirming thats one of the paw prints left behind. The good news is the lion hasnt been seen since monday morning. Perhaps the bad news is the lion hasnt been seen since monday morning. Look closely. Could it be a lion hanging out in downtown milwaukee . Kelly brooks didnt see one prowling in his backyard, but he did see his neighbors cell phone video. Oh. No this is a real lion and something could have happened to me. Reporter city officials received more than two dozen 911 calls from people claiming to see the lion. Its not a dog with mange or a house cat. It is definitely much larger. Reporter wildlife officials examined several paw prints and conceded it is likely a Mountain Lion possible a cougar. How did it get here . When the local zoo announced all the wildcats were present and accounted for, officials concluded it probably followed the river for food and was just passing through. Little comfort. I could run fast enough. I dont know what id do. Just caught him. Caught him so everybody is safe now. Reporter the sighting sparked silliness on social media. Even with the cheese head. Wild animals wandering city streets is unusual, but not unprecedented. Last year this lion was spotted in the suburbs of los angeles. While many are having fun with the idea of a lion on the loose in milwaukee, animal experts say we shouldnt be all that surprised. Sometimes these animals have nowhere to go. All the good available habitats and territories are taken up by the existing population. Reporter is as the search continues, people hope the animal realizes it belongs in the wild not in downtown milwaukee. If the lion had been here when you come out, what would you have done . Be honest. You would have run back inside. I would have run back inside. Reporter so guys, thats apparently the worst idea. An animal expert says if you should by chance come in contact with a lion you should raise your hands, stare down said lion scream at it and try and chase it away. Apparently predators want easy meals. They dont want to have to work for the food so youre supposed to scare off the lion. Good warning. What happens if you see a cougar . Thats for al. Depends on where you are and your age. Lots of factors. Craig, the good news is it hasnt been seen since monday. The bad news is that al put some ground beef in your back pocket. You might want to check that. Good luck. Thank you, mr. Roker. Look on main street. Get it mane. Thanks, craig, thanks al. That story has to end now. Thats why he only does one show a night.

What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Raise your hand if you watched sharknado 3 last night.

There are two startling examples caught on camera this week. This morning were showing you a first look at something were hoping will help save lives with a new type of car seat from even flow. It alerts parents that a child is in the seat. This is jason and hes going to show us how it works. Good morning. This is timely. Tell me how the seat works. We have a 7weekold ava is doing to help us out. Its a brand new technology. We havent used it at wired yet. Its untested by us. The way it works theres something you plugin into the data port. This is what your mechanic uses to check a diagnostic. This attaches over the babys chest. It will tell when the car is running. After you turn the car off, if the babys buckle is still connected an alarm will sound to let you know dont forget theres a baby in the seat and the buckle is attached. Can you demonstrate . The car is running now. What we do is turn it off. [ alarm sounding ] you should be able to hear it. I hear something that sounds like when the seat belt is not on or car door is open. Right. Its a different tone that plays. Plays. Maybe because the door is open. The idea is the sound is something distinct. It doesnt sound like anything else in the car. Right. A little song plays. Like a jingle. I guess the idea a lot of times if the baby is sleeping parents sleep deprived themselves might forget. It seems impossible to forget but you are exhausted. The seat is facing the other way. Youre going by muscle memory and you can forget. This is a reminder, you know using wifi, using a sensor to keep the baby safe. Youre on top of these kinds of trend. Were seeing the onsie that has a sensor in it. What other kinds of technology are you seeing in terms of keeping babies safe .

This week were tackling pop diet trends. Now its back to basics counting your calories. Its the ageold question what is the secret to weight loss . Despite all the diets out there at end of the day, unless science can prove otherwise, maintaining your weight losing weight gaining weight is really just a function of how many calories in versus how many calories out. Theres a catch. Not all calories are created equal. So even though in a 24hour period you might not have exceeded what you should be taking in you still want the vast majority of them to be coming from nutritionally sound sourcing. Counting calories is easier than ever with many restaurants posting calorie information. The new technology began helped crunch the numbers. 31 of Internet Users in the u. S. Track their health with apps and fitness trackers. Of those people 42 are tracking their diet and calorie intake. People like ashley davidson. I had been overweight and obese for most of my life. It hit me as i was graduating college and Graduation Day came and i was looking at pictures afterwards of myself in my cap and gown and i was like i dont like myself. I dont like who i am or what ive become. So in 2012 she started tracking her calories with the help of an app called losing. Every morning i generally lay out an outline of what i plan to eat and then as go through the day i mark it off on the piece of paper but then i transfer it on to the lose it app on my phone. She said the app motivated her to make wiser choices about food. Adding more vegetables and fruits into my diet. Taking out more of the processed stuff. Not as doing as much take out. More homebased food. After three years of diligent daily calorie counting ashley dropped 63 pounds while gaining a new outlook. Calorie counting has allowed me to motivate myself. I ran a Half Marathon last year. This is all because i dont have as much weight on my body and i can do these things. Lets crunch the numbers with joy bauer. What are the pros of counting calories . There are a lot of pros. First, it work. If you take in fewer calories than youre burning youre going to lose weight. Also when you journal your food it makes you more comfortable. Its empowering. Youre going stick with a plan. The other thing is calories are available everywhere and all foods can knitfit in. Are there down sides . I would to say down sides but challenges. First thing because youre crunching numbers you have to focussed and committed. If you have obsessive personality its not for you. Its frustrating when you cant find calorie information. All foods fit in can be a con. 500 calories of strawberry drink will be different than chicken. Do you have to divvy the calories up evenly throughout the day or can you have binges . Anything goes. Its your range of calories. Its your a lotment. For women the 1200 to 1600 calories for today. For men, you have fast erer metabolism 1600 to 2,000. For women 300 calories. For men 400 calories. Men get a few more egg whites and a full grapegrapefruit. It for women 400 calories. For women 500 calories. The men get more turkey and they get an apple. For snacks in the afternoon, i would say aim for no more than 200 calories. One snack for women is a handful of nuts with a banana. And men can have one or two snacks. If i stay within my budget down here can i have junk food . Can i have a snack . You can. You can trade this for anything that youre craving as long as you stick with your calories. Youre going to lose weight. But if you want to keep your energy up and you want to have staying power, you want to focus on the high quality foods. And there are a lot of great apps out there. The woman in the tape uses lose it. Also myfitnesspal. My calorie count. Theres another one where youre in the Grocery Store and you can scan the bar codes. Ill tweet those out after the show.

Tech expert katie linedahl is here. Good morning. Everybody talk abouts a smartphone. Theres a huge market for a simple basic phone. There is. I have to tell you we call it a dumb phone but its a smart choice for the consumer. If you want a more simple device. You dont want to lead the hyper connected lifestyle. If youre only using a fraction of the features on the smart phone, you can be saving a lot every month. I have to tell you, too, a study in 2013 said 110 times on average people are checking their phone. Thats during sex, i hate to say it. Thats in the study. Come on. People are feeling less productive because of smartphones. If you have a simple phone you dont have that problem. Tell me about the first pick. This is my top pick. Its the jitterbug5.

Savannah may have left her phone on top of the vehicle. This would be great for you. This is your iphone after its been run over a few dozen times. I think you can use the samsung. If you have employees looking for cell phone it has one touch navigation. A program that said you can call the contacts inside the phone. Thats good if you have kids you want to be them only calling people in the phone. I pick this because a lot of people love the keyboard. Its reminiscent of the blackberry. This is a z 432. Very inexpensive. Its about the Tactile Keyboard for the touch and feel. There are things in here like blue tooth and camera. If you want the old School Keyboard feel. Its middle of the road.

Fruit or vegetable, we dont like it. You like it . Love it. Good. Youre going to show us recipes . Im going to convert you both i promise. The first is an eggplant chip. Really if you make anything into a chip its probably delicious. This is very easy. We have a variety of eggplant. I like to use the smaller ones for this. Its easier to slice. These are the japanese eggplants. These are the italian ones. Any one of those will work well for the chip. Okay. Four ingredients. The eggplant of course oil, i like to fry them in vegetable or can canola oil and salt. Were going to use the mandolin slicer. You want to slice them thin. Yeah. Its less in your mouth. And its a crispier chip. And fry it in oil. You have to be careful. We already fried them and im going to sprinkle some of the salt. You dont like eggplant is one of the things i grew up i dont like it and i keep eating it in the adulthood is it the texture or the flavor . I like zucchini which is weird. Lets try it. Pick a chip and see which is which . Thats liver. Savannah . I wont feed you. Thats the eggplant. I can tell. I dont care for it. Right, savannah . I love you so much, siri. I dont love eggplant. If youre going to eat it i would eat that. Is it the flavor or the texture . Will you eat the zucchini one . I love these. Okay. All right. Those are delicious. Theyre absolutely healthier. Eggplant has a ton of vitamins and minerals. Now were making a dip. Lets talk about the ingredients. Eggplant cooking spray oil, greek yogurt zucchini lemon, parsely for the garnish, and salt and pepper. We slice an eggplant in half and roast it in the oven for about 35 minutes. Soften it up. Now were going to scoop out the flesh. Turn around. When you say the flesh its very easy. Its kind of falls out into the food prosersz. You can use a blender. Why dont you add the rest of the ingredients. You audiogurtdd yogurt, zucchini. The flesh is in there . S it. You needed to wear eggplant . Its a deep purple. Thats nice. A little more salt. A little pepper. Youre making your own eggplant . Its an eggplant dip. Its very similar to greek. But it has a little more yogurt. Were going to pulse it together together.

Topvo this is video shot this morning from our helicopter. Cal fire now says more than 6thousand re Massive Wildfire still threatening homes in napa county. This is video shot from our chopper just this morning. Cal fire says more than 6,000 acres have burned near Lake Berryessa. Flames have destroyed one building and damaged a home and two other structures are still in the fires path. Cal fire right now says it is just 5 contained. Theyre facing big challenges because of high winds and rugged terrain. You can see some livestock also threatened by the wildfire. Now, the cause of the fire is not certain, but it appears to have started after a car crash on highway 12 meanwhile, in hayward funeral arrangements are still pending for Sergeant Scott lunger who died yesterday morning when he was shot during a traffic stop. Lunger was a 15year veteran who among many things coached Girls Softball Team at oakley at a high school in oakland oakley, i should say. The suspect in the shooting himself was shot. He remains in the hospital. And now lets look at the forecast. Good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Still low clouds across the bay but that will be clearing out in many spots this afternoon. And a high of only 73 degrees in the east bay. Peninsula look for a high of 77 degrees and 79 degrees in the south bay. In the trivalley not that hot today. 81 degrees. And temperatures start to climb as we go into the rest of the week. And San Francisco expect a high of 64 degrees today. And also in the north bay 80 degrees. Heres a look at traffic with mike. South bay we have that issue on montague expressway onramp that 101 still in the transition we have the rig and fuel spill. So distraction and slowing. North 280 at page mill theres a slow drive past the crash. Now just about over on the shoulder maybe slow lane blocked. Easy drive toward the bay bridge toll plaza.

And jenna is going to im going to be handcuffed while youre blindfolded. This is Getting Better all the time. And well head in the kitchen with the irish lad. You got it. Well, you havent been here for like a year and a half. I was here on paddys day. It wasnt that long ago. Youve forgotten already. Thank you very much. Were going to have vegetables, light, light, light. Hes a doll. Beets. Its all about the beets. Its all about the beat its thursday, we have a couple of fabulous thursday makeovers too. All right. Everybody is talking about it. Sharknado 3. All hell no. Hoda and i had no idea what happened to us. We didnt know if we were going to end up in the next sequel. You will at some point. It sounds like were the only members of the today show team that actually make it out alive. I dont know how. The white house not far from where we are right now. You know what happens to be a great natural actor is that man. Matt lauer. He is so good. Remember him in the musical today the musical . I loved that musical. Here you are. The best1part of the show. I think were going to start calling it the coast multiple pockets of sharknadoes developing. People want to be away from this sharknado . 10 miles, 30 miles 100 miles. Were less than 100 miles. Were not leaving. Here we go. Sometimes those are the circumstances you say they ate it. No, they got ated. It happens. You actually killed a shark. We killed them all. I didnt we didnt watch it. Its just too late for me but i heard i hope it did well. Well find out if there will be a sharknado 4. Youre available . Hoda and i checked with our agents and we are available. Thats good to know. A shocking ending. Hit by the space debris of the Space Shuttle just before the closing credits. Uhoh. Oh, no. And now they get the chance to decide if she lives or dies. The audience does . Thats what it says. Wouldnt that be a terrible thing if everybody votes to kill you . I know, but that might happen. I think that happened to me a couple of times. Yeah. Its not fun. Did you hear the story about diner mom . Yes i did. I have a toddler so i relate. How old is she . 23 no shes 2 1 2. How old is my child . Youre forgetting lots of stuff. Shes very hormonal. Shes 2 1 2ish. This little girl is 2 years old and she was yelled at by a maine diner owner. And the toddlers mom, tera carson, we hadnt heard from. She shared with , the Washington Post that she will never, this is in quotes, never forget the look on her toddlers face after the diner owner yelled at her. Carson was told there would be a 30minute wait. After ordering her food it then took 40 minutes to arrive. This is all what she says. At that point she said her 21monthold was getting antsy. I think she was there a long time. But wasnt having a meltdown. Basically saying that they chose to stay because it was a downpour. You can understand that. But nobody i mean i dont think it was like the deal we just passed, the nuke deal. I dont think we need to spend this much time. This is the thing. People that have toddlers know or have had a toddler youve had a toddler they can be unpredictable, and one thing that makes a toddler mad is the lack of food. My child in particular. Lack of food, lack of sleep. If youre waiting and waiting and waiting for food, you can see how a toddler would be upset and i guess the bigger debate is how i would feel my child, if i want to tell her to please be quiet not shut up, which is what she said the diner woman said. I feel i can do it. How do you feel about other people coming up and doing it . When its your child it doesnt matter what your kid is doing, you want to take on the adult. Hoda and i talked about it the other day. We could hear both sides of the story. I was in a situation when i was little in Elementary School sitting next to my sister on a plane, and i was bullying her a little bit. I was being we were kind of fighting, and the man next to me said to my sister, do you want to hit her or should i . And my sister and that shut me up. Immediately, i was like and my sister looked at him like, i would never hit my sister. That was enough to end the fight. Right. Was he a texan . Of course. He would. He might hit me. And my mom wasnt on the flight, but he disciplined me. You know what i might have needed that discipline. Shocking as it is. What age were you at that point . I was probably we were going to visit my grandma in midland. I was probably 10. Were going to talk about her and her sister in a little bit, too. Something you told me about this morning that i love. I cant wait to talk about it. In the meantime, doesnt it amazing how much your smartphone knows about you . This is another story you should tell. It scares me. Google revealed a new time line feature that can show you the location history called time line designed to show users the places they most often visit. Google says this will help people remember restaurants more easily. Some say its a big bother. We think there are some creepy aspects to this. If youre going to use it thats one thing. If you get hacked and other people can say where you go your dry cleaners, a lot of people have routines. Everybody does. So then thats scary. But we realize this doesnt just exist google is the one that gets called out the most, but i had a situation where instagram and i like instagram but they show your location. This sounds ignorant of me because most people that are younger than me know this. You can tag where you are, right . You can say, im in, wherever or whatever. And i did not know that. I had my Location Services on. I had zero idea. Every time i took a picture of my apartment it showed where i was. And you got a telephone call from your mother. I love this. The secret service, which im glad theyre still looking out for me i love the secret service. I knew you were going to go there. Im not going anywhere. They are busy. They have lots of things to do. They do. And one of the things they noticed when i would post a picture it would show where i was. And so they said can she please turn that instagram thing off . What i had to do was go in and delete and maybe, again, kyle kyle miller. Our techsavvy guy. Do i sound like im an old person who doesnt understand technology a little bit . A little bit. But not as bad as kathie. Some apps that you have will use your location to function. So like maps, the weather app, they need that to know how to get you that information. If you dont want your location to be shared on twitter, instagram, facebook, go to settings on your iphone, hit privacy. Go to Location Services and then if you scroll down all the apps that use location there, we hit instagram and we can put never. So never allow location access. Thats pretty darned simple. That was simple but, okay the pictures that are already on your instagram you have to erase. Then you have to go back and erase like jenna did. Individually. It took you a long time. Were not going to get to talk about the worlds biggest zit . Tomorrow. Oh, good. Something to look forward to. Im back tomorrow and we can discuss it then. Google the worlds biggest zit. And you know what we will discuss tomorrow. Put your comments on facebook. Here is your homework. If youre eating or if you have a weak stomach and somebody tells you to google this, be smart enough not to. She wasnt. She wasnt.

I think we did that one. No . Is that the one i said . Yes. Anyway thats a saying, nobody cares now, you dont own a house. The house opens you because there are always little problems that need fixing. Whether you have a leaky faucet or damaged screen door, all you have to do is ask lou. Thats right. Today contributor and host of house smarts lou manfredini. Ready . Lou manfredini hes got a nickname that rhymes with lamborghini they both rhyme. For the first time thats not bad. Not bad. She didnt like it. Whats up lou . How are you . Now whats broken . Faucet . The first question was about a leaky faucet. My outdoor faucet for the house is leaking out of the handle. She wants to know if she needs to replace the handle or the whole thing. Typically, in particular because she lives in chicago, she has a faucet like this which is a frostproof faucet. Is it copper . It is, its copper. The way these work, the valve is actually on this side which is on the inside warm of the house. The reason its leaking is theres this very long shaft inside. Whoa, whoa. Because the water turns on and off where its heated, this little rubber needs to be replaced. It is a 40 cent piece at the Hardware Store. If you take this, all you do, you take a wrench and this little nut thats on the outside of the faucet, you loosen. You take it off by hand, you loosen the handle like this. You go to the Hardware Store and say, could i get one of these please . And theyll gladly put it on for you. A little rubber washer. You put it back on it doesnt leak. Anybody can do that. Wow. You dont need a handyman. You need to turn the water off in the house or it will spray you in the face. I thought it was a little too easy. Okay. What is our next thing, jenna, if thats your real name. If thats my real name. Theres some question. Is that her secret name . No. Its my only name. From california who has two puppies named jack and jill are tearing holes in the screen door. I saw the picture jumping up and down on that. This is a screen door behind us we have for an example. This is just like replacing the screen on a little window and we have this so we can show you that this is what goes around the exterior of the door or the window. It literally just gets placed in with this little tool. You roll it in that little groove and the screen comes out. Now when you put the new screen in, a larger screen you go over the top like this. Many different kinds of screen. This is the screen i want to show you. This is a pet screen. So this is super heavy duty. Is it more expensive . Its a little more expensive but were talking about another 20 cents. Its not super expensive. This is so strong. I cant care this. Like my spanx. Its made of the same material. And its breathable. And so this is super strong. The only down side to this is it does obscure the view a little bit. However, that picture of her door had a little ornate metal on the top. They can jump on this all day long. We had to put this on. For your dog . Theres three and they all go barreling at the same time. When you go et to a big screen door because these rails are long and vertical if you stretch the screen too lightly and put the tool in there you can bow the screen, the metal will bow in. Then you put it on and it looks funny. Take it easy. It wont fit the door. It will be a little out of whack. What next, jenna . The next question is from kelly from she has a vinyl french door she would like to paint black. Whats the best type of paint . You can paint anything. Its about how long you want it to last. With the vinyl you want to make sure you wash the window first around the exterior. And then this is a stain killing primer that i want people to use first. This goes on. Youre going to prime it. It typically comes in white and then this is a valspar paint, paint and primer iny1ono one. When youre painting vinyl you prime it twice basically, right . Because its a paint primer, but then this will look streaky at first because of the vinyl surface, but it will work. Tape it off. I use some of the frog tape, which is super. Two coats on this, it will look great. For how long . Thats the thing. It depends on where you live. You have a painted surface. Once you paint it, youll have to paint it again.
