As you mentioned more evacuations kicking in today, the largest in this area in 12 years for parts of miami beach and lowlying areas. Shelters are opening. More than 30,000 people bolted from the florida keys. Authorities are urging anyone in the evacuation zone to get out. Storm very closely and get out. This morning florida is bracing for this. The growing fear south florida will take a direct hit and it could be catastrophic. This is serious and we cannot take chances. In the keys an exodus, mandatory evacuation orders in effect. We boarded up the house and were hoping for the best. Thats all we can do right now. The warnings dire. If you stay, you think youre a tough guy, then youre on your own. Reporter in miami beach where sand is a big draw, they are bagging it up and giving it away. Mandatory evacuations there starting today. Potential tidal surge, 8, 10, 12 feet. You saw what happened in texas. Reporter irma would be the strongest hurricane to hit florida since andrew. At the time the most expensive Natural Disaster in u. S. History. The tab for irma could be much higher. It looks like it could be something that will be not good. Believe me, not good. Reporter irmas uncertain path is causing anxiety up and down the southeast coast. In georgia they are sandbagging in savannah. Residents of South Carolina are stocking up and North Carolina National Guard is mobilized. With storm clouds on the horizon, businesses in the Sunshine State are boarding up and gas is selling out.

Reporter meghan lived through andrew and preparing to ride out irma in south miami. Im a little bit scared. I wasnt at the beginning of the week but the panic has set in now and im getting nervous. Reporter there has been so much highrise development in this area since hurricane andrew. There have been stronger building codes with that storm. The concern is what will happen when irma slams into this coast. All right, gabe. Thank you very much. Lets bring in floridas governor rick scott. Good morning to you. Morning. Good morning. This is an unbelievable hurricane, big, 185 Miles Per Hour. Way bigger than hurricane andrew 25 years ago. Were going to see storm surge. I want to make sure everybody in florida understands the significance of this. It could impact either coast. The storm surge is going to be significant. We can get hurricane winds on both coasts. So Everybody Needs to listen to local officials about evacuation orders. Make sure you have a plan. I was looking at the very latest track from the National Weather service. They are basically saying that this after devastating the caribbean is going to make landfall somewhere on the southeastern coast of your state. That brings to mind the keys. That brings to mind the intense Population Center of miami. So how are preparations going there . Well, weve been evacuating the keys since wednesday. So you can follow the traffic count. People are leaving the keys right now. Weve got to continue to do that. We started evacuation yesterday in miamidade, so well continue to follow this. The big thing is on both coasts everybody has to understand, this thing could move, hurricanes move. Weve seen that in the past. We could still impact the west coast. This is going to be bigger than andrew in that were going to have much more storm surge with this. Winds are bigger, storm surge is bigger, the size of the hurricane is way bigger. My Biggest Issue right now probably is fuel. We put a lot of effort yesterday into trying to make sure we have enough fuel in the state so when people want to evacuate they can. Im asking people not to take more fuel than you need. Well spread that around so everybody can evacuate. Well get everybody out if you follow evacuation orders. I wonder about it, in houston theres debate whether or not that city should have been evacuated. How do you decide where youre going to mandatorily evacuate. When you have a storm this big that can cover your whole state, where are they supposed to go . I think because of harvey, everybody is more focused on evacuation. What were doing is by area, we know based on the storm surge how far inland this water is going to go. We have a pretty good idea right now. Its going to change. Just because this track has been consistent, they change all the time. Thats what were doing. Were taking the wind estimates, storm surge estimates, and were starting to do evacuation orders. Well be going up the coast as we see this hurricane get closer and closer to our state. The keys are already evacuating, but were making sure everybody is getting out. Were providing transportation if you dont have it. Governor, just want people to know, before we went on the air you looked at us and say i hope people listen to you. We know people are going to listen to you. Our best to you and the people of florida. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, matt and savannah. Of course were going to be tracking irma all morning long. Take a look also at reports of price gouging ahead of the storm. That comes up in the next half hour. Lots more to get to including politics and a new political storm facing President Trump. He stunned republicans when he cut a deal with democrats. Nbcs Kristen Welker with more on that. Kristen, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning to you.

Chuck and nancy would like to see something happen and so do i. Reporter republicans had wanted a longer deal on the debt limit, 18 months to take it off the table for the mid term elections in november, but democrats refused. Multiple sources familiar with the exchange say at one point the president because the off his own treasury secretary who argued for a longer time line. Frustration mounted for gop officials when the president called his daughter ivanka in the room to discuss her key issue, child care tax credits. A top congressional source says republican lawmakers ultimately felt blindsided by the deal. Did he blind side members of his own party . They should realize this is a president who made very clear one of his first priorities at the moment is to get the hurricane survivors what they need and deserve. Reporter Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell weighed in after. The president can speak for himself. His feeling was we needed to come together, to not create a picture of divisiveness. Reporter all of it comes amid new fallout after the president rescinded Obama Era Program known as daca which protects young undocumented immigrants, giving congress six months to fix it. Now attorneys general from 15 states and d. C. Are suing the Trump Administration arguing the move punishes people with mexican roots and hurts local economies. When bullies step up, you have to step to them and step to them quickly. Reporter wednesday the president was pressed to clarify his position after tweeting if congress doesnt act, he may revisit the issue. I want to see what happens in congress. I have a feeling thats not going to be necessary. I think they are going to make a deal. Reporter this morning the russia probe is back in the spotlight. The president s eldest son trump jr.

Thats right. This Game Features the defending super bowl champions, the new England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. Always when you talk about the patriots, a lot of eyes will be on their star quarterback tom brady. Today National Correspondent craig melvin in foxborough at gillette stadium. Good morning to you. Good morning. What an incredible year tom brady has had, if you think about it. Comes back, wins super bowl, then his championship jersey gets stolen from the locker room, then his health is questioned. Tonight brady tries to do something no quarterback has ever done and the odds of him doing it are long. But theres a guy you dont want to bet against, its probably tom brady. When tom brady takes the field tonight hell face a question bigger than any opponent. Can the star quarterback go where no other has gone before and lead his team to a sixth super bowl victory . But the big number on the mind of many fans isnt 6, its 40. Brady celebrated his 40th birthday last month and says he hopes to play another five years, unchartered territory for starting nfl quarterback, but brady has defied the odds before. Patriots win the super bowl in february overcoming a stunning 25point deficit, the most ever in super bowl history, brady, the games mvp, his wife giselle going wild. Starting in controversy, with brady serving fourgame suspension for his role in deflategate scandal. He finally uncovered the missing super bowl jersey after it was stolen from the locker room by a journalist from mexico. And public scrutiny of his health, when his wife claimed brady has suffered multiple concussions. He suffered a concussion last year. Has he concussions. We dont talk about it but he has concussions. Brady remained tightlipped. I dont think thats anybodys business. Reporter nfl said they had no records to support the claim, nor did he complain of symptoms. Not in dispute bradys famously strict diet. No sugar, no caffeine, no dairy, even tomatoes are tabu. His one indulgence, avocado ice cream. Bedtime, 8 30 sharp. I asked brady, dont you miss going out with the boys drinking until 1 00 in the morning . He smiled and said ive done that. This is better. Reporter the discipline has paid off. During his 17 seasons in the nfl, all of them with the patriots, brady has captivated the league. And pop culture. Im not just into football. Reporter so once brady decides to hang up his helmet, what might he do . Some have suggested politics. Others look a little closer to home. When he retires, i wouldnt be surprised to see him be mr. Dad for the first few years while he tries to figure out what he does for the rest of his life. Reporter the importance of family looming large for brady as his mom battles cancer. Earlier this year, he grew emotional talking about his father. Hes the one that i look up to every day. And my dad. The cornerstones of bradys life, family and football. Not bad for a guy who was drafted into this league in the sixth round, guys. By the way, the first order of business tonight when the patriots take the field against the chiefs, they are going to reveal that most recent championship banner. And nfl commissioner Roger Goodell will reportedly be on hand for that. Guys. That will be fun. Who wins tonight, craig . Reporter i think its probably the pats, at home in foxborough. Matt, here is the thing. I think they probably win another super bowl as well. Look at you craig melvin. Out on a limb. Save the tape. Good. Thanks, craig.

This is sweet oh, yeah, up in foxborough, clear, breezy, 63 degrees on sunday night football night in america, chiefs versus patriots, tonight nbc, 7 30. Of course its a thursday night. It doesnt matter, its always sunday night right here on nbc. Guys. Missed that so much. Now to a different approach to growing food and eating food. Its taking organic farming to a whole new level. Thats the reason Maria Shriver is here. Good morning. Good morning. I feel supported on all front. Wow. Welcome to beyond organic as savannah said. Just as shopping, eating and growing organic has become more popular, theres now something new and its called biodynamic. Its actually an ancient closed loop method of farming that plants and harvests according to the cycle of the moon. It differs from organic in its lack of pesticides and emphasis on soil health. Proponents believe it holds the key to a healthy mind, healthy body, and healthy spirit. On 26 acres tucked well into the malibu hills is a place where wild things grow and roam. Theres squash, radishes and cilantro. Theres also eleanor, romeo and waffle. Its called onegun ranch. Youll find no guns here just rescued animals and a lifestyle called bioorganic. Its our passion and world. They own and run one gun ranch, a place where they practice the ancient mark of bioorganic growing. A way of harvesting food from the earth. We dont use any chemicals, any pesticides. It looks at the farm itself as its ownentity. Everything used is recycled back to the land. Prior focus on bioorganic farming is soil and soil health. This is what makes the magic happen right here. The super soil is the magic. They make it themselves using a 100yearold recipe, feeling it with medicinal herbs and letting it cook for nine months before use. The results, simple food bursting with flavor and nutrients. You can taste it. Taste the difference from our food, anybody elses. Strong. Its strong, its peppery, vibrant, alive. They grow for the local community, some of the names youve heard of. Wolfgang puck takes all our passion fruit. And also for another purpose. Lou for everything youre growing here, everything youre eating, everything youre selling really as food as medicine. Absolutely. All of these plantings have Medicinal Properties to help people physically and or mentally. Completely, 100 . The soil is so nutrient rich that ucla used it in community and medicinal gardens as part of their Healthy Campus initiative. Separately one gun ranch has begun to grow marijuana high in cbd, medically rich portion of cannabis plant for cancer treatment. She knows everyone doesnt have access to one gun ranch lifestyle but she believes everyone can be conscious of what you eat. Anyone can connect to good food. Shes written a book designed to educate people about the benefits of biodynamic life. She invites groups to the ranch to learn about where food comes from. We work with a lot of schools and a lot of charities and children who dont necessarily have the best start in life. She knows exposure creates reality. For children who have never seen the ocean, a farm animal, or know where their next meal is coming from, the impact is immediate. Usually healthy food doesnt taste good. It tasted like really good. Ive never had roasted watermelon. The carrots were the bomb. Tacos were delicious. Lettuce tacos are good. Not confined in a room.

They role believe the food we put in our bodies affects our mood, Mental Health and physical health. When you hear a kid say the carrots are the bomb, you know they are doing something right.

This morning on todays take, get ready for never have i ever with Ricky Schroeder, celebrity cohost. Vivica fox revealing secrets from the set of her movie. A double dose of james franco. A sneak peek of his new series the deuce cing up now. Announcer from nbc news, this is todsed t ed ttodays ta september 7th, 2017. This is last chance by cascade and project 46. I dont know what happened to the other 45 projects but this one turned out pretty good. Didnt pan out so well. This one good. Were so thrilled to have Ricky Schroeder as our cohost. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Im excited to be here. Youve never done anything like this before . Ive always gotten the questions, never given the questions. This should be interesting. Commenting on your beard. You asked slg for is this for a role. Ive decided im not going to shave until i get a job. This isnt a job, i dont get paid. We dont pay them . Theres a contest i see. Word has gotten out. Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Here i am. Youre not the bottom of the barrel, trust me. Youre working on a bunch of different things. Well get to that in a little bit. We want to talk a little about Hurricane Harvey causing so much trouble. Now weve got irma, which is just a beast. It wiped out the island of barbuda. They say 95 of the buildings have been damaged there. Like a onetwo punch these hurricanes. Harvey and irma, fema running out of money. Thats scary. You need that help after something this big. Fema is such a life line. This thing could be the strongest landfall in florida since andrew 25 years ago, which is crazy. Evacuation orders going out. If you know somebody who lives in florida who could be affected by irma, its a tough, tough thi thing. Gas lines. They say 30 of gas lines in the miamidade area are out. Which on the one hand its scary to think places out of gas, shelves dont have water on them anymore. That hopefully means everybody there has taken in all those resources so they are good to go. They are preparing. Hunker down. If they havent evacuated. Like the western part of the state, i have family that lives around tampa. They are going to stay put but they have their supplies. Depending on which way the storm goes, if it goes up the center of florida, both coasts could be looking at a storm surge and really strong winds. So that could be really, really tough. What is your gut saying on the track . Do you think it will ride the east coast or offshore. I think its going to stay a little west of miami, which would not be great for the east coast of florida. Even if it does, then, of course, weve got georgia, South Carolina in play. Were both heading down to florida right after the program. You experienced a hurricane here in new york when you were a kid . Yeah. Back in the 70s, i believe it was a hurricane. But i know i was a little boy living in staten island. I remember the winds howling and the house shaking and being really scared. Its really scary for a child to go through a storm like that. I think as adults we forget, from a kids perspective how big it is. I thought maybe the world was ending, that kind of storm. You dont grasp exactly what is happening in your world. Its traumatic in your world for a little kid. You see your parents may be panicking, freaking out. My mom is a panicer, too. In the car White Nuclear ling, not just hurricane. My dad is the opposite. Hes more like laughs through a situation so we all laugh so we dont know anything is wrong. Thats great. Makes us all feel deranged. People look overseeing this family laughing hysterically, maniacally, in the middle of the storm. Basically. Were going to keep an eye on this they think, bring you details.

Coleman, my agent, my Business Partner let, a richardson, my assistant ive had 20 years. I keep my team nice and tight. Its almost like an award speech. If you have a team of good people that understand the goal and projects were going to do, it works out. And youre an incredible athlete. Yes, i did. You have the stamina. I played basketball, volleyball, track and i was a cheerleader. So i could do a backhand spring and then shoot a jump shot. And act at the same time. And act at the same time. And deliver a smile. So weve got before we play, set us up a little bit. Give us a little about that. True to the game, i play the character shug, who is basically the track queen, who makes sure she keeps things tight and right for quad ir. Hes got a Little Something something about gina, our female lead, erica peeples. Needless to say i tell him to be careful but know this aint her first time at the rodeo.

I played conservative, lawyer, detective, mom. To be a track queen was real fun. Youre also producing stage version of the film two can play at that game. Why did you decide to do that . I like versatility. I think versatility has equaled the key to longevity for my career, to do tv, movie, stage, and also to get a producer credit.

Its set New York Times square in the 70s when pornography and prostitution went from back alley commodity to an institution. He plays Twin Brothers frankie mart no, one a bartender and life in brooklyn, the other in the mob with piling debts. James franco, good to see you. Thanks. This show, im old enough to remember new york in those days. I went to high school not too far from there. Whats it like creating this thing . It really was spot on. Obviously were talking like we cant go down to 42nd street and shoot there now. Its just a completely different place. Maybe you can tell us. You look at those old scorsese movies, taxi driver and stuff, hell go down 42nd street an its like markquise after marquee. We had to shoot up town. It was incredible how they made everything over. You tell me. Ive been told im like how did they recreate this . I thought maybe you built it on a back lot, it was so accurate. One of the nice thing about new york, if you find places there are still old locations and can you still get that flavor. Thats the thing. I directed two episodes of the season. And im watching all these old scorsese movies, and then im just getting so frustrated because im realizing, he back in the day could just put the camera anywhere and its 70s. Here we have to do so much work just to make every frame look correct. Im curious about directing. I have a quick question. When you do a take and youre directing and youre the actor in the scene, do you back and talk to your dp or do video review to see how you liked it . Thats a whole conversation. There is a lot of actors that direct themselves. But this is that times two because i play twins. So then it was like, it could be the ultimate like mind whatever. So like i talked to Bryan Cranston about it a lot, where he directed some of the breaking bad episodes. As a director you go in, you kind of work everything out. You know what you want out of each scene, right . You work that all out. You talk to your sce cinematographer. By the time you step on as an actor you know what you want of the scene. As an actor its an extension of that. Actually if you have the right people around you, its not that hard. You can lean the danger everyone thinks about is, oh, hes just going to spend all of his time on his self. Ultimate ego stroke. Youre playing two guys. I favor one more than the other. Back in the old days, there was the line they couldnt cross because it was the same actor playing it. Here you guys are crossing it. Yeah. Thats the old thats the old style. Youd keep the camera locked off, do one. Change the makeup, come and do the other one. And we do actually do some of that. We are on its hbo but you still are on a budget. So when youre doing that as a director, part of that is like, okay, am i going for the full green screen . Thats going to cost me a certain amount of money. That means i get fewer period cars in this scene. Thats actually one of the dances you do as a director. Yeah. They have all the techniques now. I could make out with myself. I could do anything. You went there, james. Do you really want to . Michael fassbender, i didnt go there on this one. Last time i saw you, you had the moustache for this role, i think. Yeah. Weve actually got you guys with mustaches. We have a nice little mockup here. This was actually just out of high school. This was when i was in college. I need that photo for a reference between the two. Oh, yeah. Oh, my god. Looks like a caterpillar. You look older. Looks like a caterpillar. You look kind of like william ma macys brother. Please, turn that off. If you had a mustache, thats a whole other story. Anyway, the the deuce premiers this sunday on hbo. It is terrific. Thank you.

Hard to believe it but Nicholas Hoult shot to stardom as a gawky 12yearold boy who attaches himself to hugh grant. Hes grown out of his awkward stage starring in skins and epic x man franchise. Now one of the biggest roles yet j. D. Sallinger in the new movie rebel in the rye. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me. You guys were just talking about how long ago. 15 years. 15 years. Has it gone by pretty quickly for you . Yeah, its flown by. Here i am, very happy. Was it weird becoming famous at such a young age . Yes and no. It was like an odd transition at times but not really. I still stayed at school, a Normal School until i was 17. Kind of it was like living a double life. I was like bruce wayne. Id occasionally go off and shoot a film and then back to school and be normal. Warm bodies one of my favorite zombie movies ever. Loved you in that movie. If you havent seen it, hes a zombie, falls in love with a girl, a love story. Classic romeo and juliet. I didnt have many lines to learn for that movie, i just grunted. Youre playing this iconic person in american literature, j. D. Sallinger. Was that intimidating . So intimidating. The more i learned about him, the more i felt i had to do the man justice. It was an incredible script he wrote. He had such an intense but remarkable life. How he came to create his masterpieces is such an incredible story. It was a great one to tell and something that hopefully people will love to see. Theres not a lot of video of him as a person. So how do you be someone when you cant really see how they were . Its interesting. Not like doing an impression, even though he was a real person. Youre not trying to imitate a speech pattern or anything like that. You kind of look where they grow up and try to develop an accent around that. I read a lot of his novels alongside reading biography and pieced those together and tried to catch the essence of what he stood for. He was so unrelenting in his quest for truth and dedicated to his art. Its really inspiring. You think some of that came from his experiences in the war, world war ii, he didnt have tolerance for peoples bs . Completely. No, completely. He suffered ptsd after the war. That was a huge part of his writing and it goes into it. So all those things were parts of his life i knew nothing about before reading the script and then researching the film. It was very interesting to learn about. We actually have a picture of you on the set of mad max knitting. Is that what you like to do between takes . You know what, i did on that movie. That was my thing between setups. On that movie i knitted. I kind of pick up different hobbies depending on the movie. This, we believe in the rye, we did threeminute art. We would find famous pieces of art and wed have three minutes with crayons to try to recreate them. Really . Are you an artist at all . No, horrendous. When Sarah Paulson came in and she walked into the makeup trailer and there was crayon drawings around. She was so confused. She thought there was an overproud parents with drawings and found out.
