Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Want to talk about wails, the crying from brazil could be heard here. My gosh. 81. 71. Its like the last goal brazil scored, germans were like you should have one. Its your world cup. You should have one. You hosted it. I googled the rule. It looked like it might actually get worse than this. It was 50 in the first 30 minutes. The game was over before it started. Look at the crying in the crowd. My goodness. You feel for that country. We do, indeed. On their home turf as well. Well get is the latest from the world cup in a moment. But lets start with the weather. The storms that unleashed torrential rain and damage through the midwest to the northeast. It is not over yet. Nbcs ron mott is in clarksville, missouri. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. We had the same system in the east coast with the deadly results. You can see the Mississippi River. It is flooded. It will crest today at 35 feet. Ten feet above flood stage. Back east, families are mourning the deaths after the storm that hit in a flash. Eight children injured and one killed when a fast moving storm moved in on a camp of kids and adults in maryland. Overnight, the camp posted a statement. An official saying in part the storm came upon them in a quick and severe manner before the children reached the building. Nine children were injured. Im sad to say, one of the children died from his injuries. Pray for all of these children and families. Elsewhere, in madison county, new york, east of syracuse, four people were killed in Severe Weather there when four homes were destroyed, others damaged by a line of storms that toppled trees and power lines. It is the latest from the system that blew across the country triggering the thunder and lightning. Adding to flood fears in the midwest where water continues to rise in places. Here in clarksville, missouri, the Mighty Mississippi is cresting after the rise. Arent you tired of it . Yes, but we love this place. So we try to do it better the next time. Reporter while the threat from further flooding may be over for now, residents here know the worst often comes after cresting as the water is much slower to recede back into its banks. This flood takes ten days to disappear. In maryland and upstate new york, officials will be out today to assess the damage there to see if tornadoes were responsible for the damage there. Here this water is expected to last for another 10 to 12 days. The mayor says because they just paid the last years bill for flood protection. They were told that they are on their own. So all of this flood protection was done by volunteers. They were happy to have the help here. All right. Ron mott, thank you so much. Dylan is here for al. Well check her forecast in a moment. Another major story this morning. How to handle what is a crisis on the u. S. Border. President obama travels to texas today. This on the heels of his request of nearly 4 billion from congress. Nbcs Peter Alexander is in dallas with the president. Peter, good morning. Reporter willie, good morning to you. People here in the state of texas know the border crisis as well as anyone in america and president obama late today will hear from some of them. Particularly faith leaders and local elected officials including republican governor rick perry who has even questioned this administrations competence. President obama on the road shooting pool with colorados governor late tuesday and taking more heat. His next stop, texas, on the front lines of americas still uncontained immigration crisis. Citizens cannot be forced into allowing undocumented kids from Central America to be housed in my blighted community. Reporter the issue so heated here in dallas it was standing room only at this commissioners meeting tuesday on plans to house kids from the border. Some argued sending them home would be wrong. Thats not only immoral, ungodly, unkind, unfeeling, untexan, unforgivable. We will be judged. Reporter as for this afternoons texas showdown, president obama will meet with local leaders including republican governor rick perry. Who just this week insisted the president doesnt care if the southern border is secure. But on tuesday, the white house unveiled a proposed solution. 3. 7 billion in emergency spending. Nearly half of it to help care for unaccompanied children whose numbers have skyrocketed in recent years. Especially those from Central America. Three years ago u. S. Customs and Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 4,000 children. In 2012 it was more than 10,000. A year later, double that. And since last october, an explosion. Nearly 40,000 Central American children caught entering this country illegally. Putting political pressure on all sides. While the republicans and the democrats play political pingpong with this issue, the reality is that hundreds of children continue to cross the border. Reporter this twoday texas trip will be dominated by Campaign Fund raisers, three to be held in dallas and austin. But we hear from white house aides today, they insist there will be no stops at the border. All right. Chuck todd is nbcs chief white house correspondent. Chuck, good morning to you. Lets start with peter left off. What is the harm in visiting the border . Is there something larger here . Is there a reason why the house doesnt want to make this gesture . You know this president well. You and i covered him together. They get stubborn sometimes. They dont like getting bullied into a situation. They made the decision they would not go to the border. Theyve gotten a ton of pressure. And theyre digging in their heels, but their way to split the baby on this is they hastily set up this meeting today. This private oneonone meeting with rick perry. But they were sort of forced into this. They are acknowledging the photo op i think might be bad politics on either side of this issue. So they want to stay away. And they argue that maybe the president s presence there may take away from security measures. But they clearly are a little bit concerned about the politics of it. Speaking of the politics on the congressional side of this, i know the ask for 3. 7 billion has got a lukewarm reception. Something passed in the senate and dead on arrival in the house. What do you make of that . Is it where members of congress would rather have the political issue than the resolution . I think members of congress dont want this at all during the fall campaign. Theres two issues. Immigration reform totally dead. Thats not going to happen. The president s challenge might be greater with his own party. Than for republicans. First you have to change the 2008 law that doesnt allow for the quick deportation of these minors. Right . The law allows for quick deportation of mexican or canadian children. Not from nonmexican or noncanadian. So that is going to have to get changed. I think he can get republican support of that, but its democrats including major democrats diane feinstein, bob menendez, who doesnt want to see that 2008 law changed. Afraid they wont look compassionate if they send these children back. Chuck todd, thank you. There has been a dramatic escalation between israel and hamas. Craig melvin has the latest. Good morning, guys. The israeli armys defensive is intensifying this morning. The army says it has attacked more than 160 sites today alone with strikes from the air and sea. Ammann mohyeldin has the latest. Reporter thats 400 by the military that have been struck since the beginning of this operation 24 hours ago. According to medical sources, 35 people have been killed and 200 injured. Among those killed, nine children and six women. Here in tel aviv, sirens have been going off through the night and morning. Indications that israels two largest cities including jerusalem has fallen within the reach of those rockets. It doesnt look like either side is willing to back down. There is even talk of possibly invading gaza with military forces. The military called up 40,000 soldiers. That has people concerned here war could be breaking out in the coming days. Ayman mohyeldin, thank you. A wild scene in rio. Hundreds of people ran away from copacabana beach in a panic as a mass robbery was taking place. Dozens of young people snatching beach bags and jewelry. It happened as fans gathered to watch brazil and germany play in the world cup semifinal match. Ill have more on the match coming up. A weakened but dangerous typhoon left two dead on the okinawa islands. Typhoon neoguri. It had wind gusts of over 140 miles an hour. The major concern now is torrential rain and flooding. 200,000 people were told to evacuate. Tokyo may see heavy rain on friday. The impact on the capital is expected to be minimal. A top official at the va has said hes sorry after the whistleblowers. Four staffers testified tuesday in front of the House Veterans Affairs committee. Scott davis, a Program Specialist in atlanta says after he reported problems that included the deletion of thousands of Veterans Health records, he and others were harassed by superiors. I think thats the problem with v. A. A complete lack of accountability. And when people know that they can engage in behavior without consequences, somethings got to change. An independent federal Investigative Agency is pursuing 67 active complaints of harassment. And what looked like a Massive Oil Spill off san diego turned out to be something entirely different. That dark blob spotted in the water monday, actually a huge school of anchovy. Students from the Scripps Institute of technology dove in with cameras attached. Scientists are not sure why the tiny fish came so close to shore, but the Biggest School of anchovy theyve seen in more than 30 years. Wow. You guys take anchovy on your seafood salad . I cant. No. I pick mine off. Too fishy. Those anchovies are safe. Stay right where you are. Thank you. Dylan has a check of the weather. Lets get a check of the weather. Were actually talking about some of the storms in the southwest. We had a lot of storms in the northwest. More than 400 reports of wind gusts over 58 Miles Per Hour. But in the southwest i want to point out to you it is monsoon season. This is the time of year you get those heavier down pours. And some of them produce heavy rain. Others just produce the wind gusts. Then you get the dust storms. So we could end up with dust storms especially in arizona as we go through the day today. You could see a lot of lightning. And because it has been so dry, some of that lightning could lead to fire. So it is worth watching for the monsoon season out that way. Over the course of the next three days, we could end up with half an inch, up to an inch. But in some of those down pours, the ones who produce the heavy rain, we could see higher amounts. Also keeping an eye on nebraska and kansas today, we could see a large risk of slight hail and damaging wind gusts and through the southeast. These would be scattered showers and storms. Just the heat and humidity feeling some of those storms later on today. Thats a look at the weather across the country. Your local forecast coming up in 30 seconds. Live in the same communities that we serve. People here know that our operations have an impact locally. Were using more natural gas vehicles than ever before.

This is supposed to be wiped off the face of the earth but actually smallpox, the virus, was found in a closet at National Institutes of health in bethesda, maryland. Tom costello has this story for us. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Smallpox is one of the deadliest viruses known to man. The government keeps very small quantities under lock and key at the cdc in atlanta in case they need a vaccine in a bioterror case. They found vials of it in a storage room that should have been destroyed decades ago. It was a startling discovery here at the National Institutes of health, the nations premiere medical research fa silgty, where employees moving equipment inside a Storage Facility stumbled upon six vials containing samples of smallpox, the deadly disease eradicated 35 years ago. According to the cdc, last tuesday scientists found the vials in an unused portion of a storage room of an fda lab. And the cdc says the vials may have been sitting there for decades. The agency says they appear to date all the way back to the 1950s. Its considered a category a agent which is the highest risk that government places on potential biological agents. Reporter International Law mandates smallpox can only be stored at two official world health repositories. At the cdc in atlanta and a facility in russia. As for these samples theres no evidence, says the cdc, the vials were tampered with. It adds, onsite biosafety personnel have not seen any exposure. The cdc and fbi are investigating how it ended up here. The smallpox vials have been transported to cdc to test it to see if its viable enough to make anyone sick and then will be destroyed. The smallpox threat is nil to the general public. Reporter this incident comes on the heels of another scare at the cdc. In june the agency vaccinated 80 employees out of concern they were exposed to anthrax. Now they say those workers were likely were never in any danger. Now questions about how the smallpox vaccine was mishandled for so long. Guys, back to you. Tom costello, thank you very much.

Reporter the reaction on twitter was immediate. Everything from oprah handing out goals to new takes on brazils flagged to versions of christ the redeemer. The goal in the 33rd minute made neymar alltime leading goal scorer unthroning brazils scorer. From here germany heads to World Cup Final but for brazil that established a Government Commission just to investigate why their team lost 1998 cup final, there will be serious soulsearching. The ripple effects will be massive. This will be looked at for the rest of brazilian soccer history. Germany will take on the winner of of todays match. Neymar is not good for six goals.

George clooney is fighting back against a controversial report in a major publication. Nbcs betty nguyen has that. Good morning to you. Reporter George Clooney typically keeps his lips sealed. Hes yet to publicly announce his engagement to Amal Alamuddin until now. But now he is taking the daily mail to task. They said her mother is against the marriage. From his first words, George Clooney unleashes the wrath of his anger. Writing i want to speak to the irresponsibility of the daily mail report. In an oped clooney is firing back at the uks daily mail for a quote that, unnamed sources say his fiances mother disapproves of wedding for religious reasons. The report saying the mom of clooney fiancee Amal Alamuddin is not so impressed with her daughters choice and instead wanted her to marry within her strict religious sect, according to close family friends. Clooney fired back writing, the daily mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiances mother opposing our marriage more religious reasons. It says that amals mother has been telling half of beirut that shes against the wedding. None of the story is factually true. Amals mother is not druze, she has not been to beirut since amal and i have been dating. And she is in no way against the marriage. The daily mail said the wedding will not be a druze wedding and that several women have been murdered by not abiding by the rules. Clooney says the report creates larger more damaging implications saying the irresponsibility in this day and age to exploit religious differences where none exist is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous.

It goes on to read we only became aware of mr. Clooneys concerns this morning and have launched a full investigation. However, we accept mr. Clooneys assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize to him, miss Amal Alamuddin and her mother baria for any stress caused.

A state at the center of the immigration crisis. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander is in dallas traveling with the president. Peter, good morning. Reporter good morning to you. The people here in texas know this border crisis as well as anyone in the country and president obama is going to hear from some of them today. Specifically some leaders. Among them one of his harshest critics rick perry who in recent days has insisted president obama doesnt care if the southern border is secure. On the road late tuesday, president obama was shooting pool with colorados governor, but he continues to take heat. During this twoday texas trip, he has two Campaign Fund raisers scheduled. But white house aides today tell me there is no stop scheduled at the border. Yesterday the white house unveiled a proposed solution, roughly 4 billion to compare for unaccompanied children. But the reaction from republicans in congress has been negative so far. Meanwhile, craig, this problem continues. It is uncontained. Three years ago nearly 4,000 unaccompanied children arriving each year from Central American countries. This year the number is closer to 40,000. Thank you so much.

They wanted to. He said they were going to have that whole plan. Would you think that was funny . I said no. In a word, no. They stopped by maybe after the ceremony, but they were talking about getting in the pool and having wet suits on and popping up in the middle of the vows. I was like, no, no, no. That wasnt what i was trying to achieve. Katie, its great to see you. Congratulations. Your hubby is a doll. Thank you. I feel very lucky. Hes a wonderful person. And hes so funny. Yes, i know.

A babys first birthday is always a big deal. When youre a member of the first family, its watched around the world. Tamron is here with the exclusive look at Prince Georges first year. Its been a year, willie. Okay. Well, you still have two weeks until Prince George turns one on july 21. But excitement is already building. In the latest issue of vanity fair, royal insiders give the scoop on everything. It was the birth heard around the world. For months we anxiously awaited the arrival of a future king. Then finally saw him in the fresh. Not a typical introduction for a baby, seen far anything but a typical babys first year. He is an International Style icon. Hes racked up air miles like you just couldnt believe. So i would describe it as a bumper year for Prince George. Reporter for vanity fairs latest issue, the writer gives an inside look to georges first year complete with this revealing headline. Prince of wails. Hes got a set of lungs on him. Reporte kate said he cried a lot. They didnt appoint a nanny until several months after the birth. They wanted to experience the ups and downs. Reporter its a temperament thing that concerned will and kate when they brought their son overseas this year. They were worried how he would cope with the jet lag and the heat and the attention. But i think they managed it amazingly well. And on the rare occasion that Prince George came out, he looked for healthy. Very unphased by the cameras kicking his legs happily enjoying all the attention and stealing the show. Reporter meanwhile back home, the nanny they eventually did hire sounds more like james bond than mary poppins. She comes from possibly the best Training Ground she could, which is the norland college. They produce the best nannies in the world. These are super nannies who can escape from the paparazzi. Theyre trained in highspeed driving. Theres no official celebration yet, at least a word on it yet. Thanks tamron. Were a very good wednesday morning to you. 8 26. Im laura garciacannon.

We scoured hundreds of cookbooks and websites to find the best chicken recipes of all times. This morning were making Fried Chicken with the help of Marcus Samuelsson from red roosr here in new york city. As always our esteemed panel are standing by for a taste. Good to see you. Good to see you. So youve got your own twist on the classic. Everybody loves Fried Chicken. Whats different about yours . Well, im starting with bone in. Legs and thighs. That is the way to get the juicy chicken. You dont do breasts . I like breasts, but sorry, i walked into that one. My bad. Anyway, back to the chicken. So i you know, were going to marinate it. A little bit of buttermilk and coconut milk. And a little bit of garlic. When you do this classic like Fried Chicken, its all about putting your own personality and twist to it. I have two things. My marinade and also my shake which is full of beautiful spices. What do we have in the shake . Im from ethiopia. Basically smoked paprika, ginger, salt. To add your own personality. Whatever your family likes, make your own shake. Put your spices in. All of it . Wow. Were going big here. And then you put a bit of the spice blend in the marinade. Stir that. Okay. Then were just going to put that in. Put the chicken in. Stir that. Give it a bath in here. This can marinade overnight or two hours minimum. All right. This is quick. So we just got to take them out and then just put this in the beautiful flour mix. Whats in there . A little bit of corn starch and regular flour and some of that marinade. Just a bit of the spices. Were going to dust it just like that. And then were going to fry it. A low heat about 300. 300 degrees, all right . You dont have to have a deep fryer at home. Put oil on the stove top. You can put it in the skillet. Great way to fry chicken in the skillet. Because you dont want to put too much oil in. Then it can just overflow. You fry like this. Look at that. That looks good, right . How long does that go in at 300 degrees . Since were cooking bone in, fry for about 15 minutes. Dark meat, bone in. And then when you take them out, thats when you put the spice on. You want to do that spice blend on. Depending on what your family likes or friends like. But you can do it pretty hot. Right when it comes out is the best time to hit it with the mix. Because it sticks right there. All right. I want to check in with our panel downstairs in the studio. Panel cant talk.

Were back now a backt at 8 48 with a new lok in one of mans greatest achievements. Its been 45 years since Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon. We have cover the Space Program from the very beginning and has written a new book kneel armstrong, a life of flight. Good to see you. This is something to me because we have read a lot about Neil Armstrong. You all were friends. You had conversations with him that nobody else had. What dont we know about Neil Armstrong . You know, the one thing, most people know he was reclusive and held back but they didnt know his sense of humor. For example, one day he walked into the Astronaut Office and one of them said, hi, neil, i passed by your house last night. And neil simply said thank you, and kept walking. So he was a funny guy. But he was a reluctant american people. Wanted to to see him out more. He didnt really embrace that role. He never thought of himself as being anything special while everyone around him did. He felt like the other apollo astronauts could have handled it just as well as he did. But, you know, the people, the bosses at the top, because he got himself out of so many tight situations. He was constantly studying. He was constantly preparing himself for whatever he did. And they saw in neil probably the best person to have there to make the first step on another place other than earth. July 20th, 1969. Coming up on 45 years ago. Neil armstrong stepped on the moon and famously says one small step for man. What did he tell you about that moment and that experience being up there . God knows the rest of us can only imagine. We have three minutes here this morning. Ill put it off and tell you read the book. Because we, we talked about this. Now, i never broke a trust. Confidence is not broken in this book. But i put everything in there that i could put in there talking to trusted friends and also neil before neil took off. He and i did several stories together. In fact, the last story he and i did together. And in july of 2012 on msnbc. Com. And he passed a month after that. Fair to say. We will read about it in the book. I want to ask, too, jay, about our Space Program. A lot of people think about it in a history book. They think about Neil Armstrong, apolapollo 13, the challenge most people on earth werent even here when neil made that step. Anybody under 45 years old, like yourself, willie, werent here when neil made the step on the moon. Neil felt we should continue to explore. Meaning, get out of earth orbit, the cradle. The earth is our cradle. Its a spacecraft 8,000 miles in diameter. We cant live here forever. We have to get off. If the human race is going to survive we have got to learn how to live farther and farther away in the solar system. Thats what neil has led us to do. The back is kneel armstrong, a life of flight. Jay, one of the great treasures of this country. Good to see you. Thank you. Appreciate it. Were back in a moment. This is today on nbc. K in a m. This is today on nbc. 737. 737. Right there .

[ barks ] whoo mmm oh, yeah [ whistling ] [ male announcer ] discover your new orleans. Start exploring at followyournola. Com. [ woman ] and i love new orleans from nbc news this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today this wednesday morning, july 9 presideth, 2014. Al is off. Natalie on assignment in alaska. Were going to check in with her tomorrow. Well see what shes been doing up there. Ive been following her on instagram. Shes at glacier. Its beautiful. But really cold. Shes tough. Well talk to her tomorrow. My gosh. Did you see the world cup game . I saw the aftermath of it. People crying. Brazil, the host nation, they had high hopes for playing in the semifinal. They wanted to win the world cup on their home soil. Not even close yesterday. Blown out by germany 71. 71. Thats unheard of at this level. Germany scored five goals in the first 30 minutes of the game. It was the first time brazil has lost a competitive match on its home soil in 39 years. And their worst loss since 1920. The match scored a bunch of memes. What would oprah have said watching this game yesterday . What would oprah have said . There it is. You get a goal. You get a goal. Everybody gets ka goal. And we saw a lot of this one. Christ the redeemer statue in rio weeping. It was bad. I had someone this morning admit they cried. American but they were rooting for brazil. They cried . Thats what he said. Guys dont normally admit that. Whats really going on in your life. Tell me whats going on. It was incredible because brazil, they lost their best player to that bad injury, but still viewed as maybe not the favorites. I didnt know you could score seven in soccer. Its always like 21, 00. Theres another big game today. Argentina and the netherlands for the right to move on and play germany. George clooney very rarely speaks out about his personal life. Hes lashed out at great britains daily mail accusing them of publishing a story that was false. The sorry said his fiance amals mom said shes against the marriage for religious reasons and would rather have her marry someone in the their own religion. He said amals mom hasnt been to beirut since they started dating. And went on to say the irresponsibility in this day and age to exploit religious differences where none exist is dangerous. We have family members all over the world and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal. Daily mail heard about this this morning. This was the response. The mailonline story was not a fabrication but supplied in good faith by a reputable and trusted freelance journalist. We have launched a full investigation. Now they have removed that piece from the website. Celebrities usually ignore this kind of stuff. Clearly this touched a nerve because he thinks its bigger than him. It could inflame something larger. Absolutely. I read the original article that was up, and it certainly if its not fabricated, then what is it . I know in their response they say its not a fabricated story. But shes not druze. And she hasnt been to beirut. I mean, if thats not fabrication, then what does it fall under . But good for him for sticking up for his new family. He brought her into his world of celebrity. Its her choice to accept his proposal and decide to be his wife, but you know what . Solid on him for speaking up for his family. He doesnt chase the tabloids when they say this ones pregnant or that one or other rumors about him. But this one he called at face value. Its like when a celebrity that big does come out and say something, its a big deal. Good for him for calling b. S. On it. What are we doing here . I know the people in brazil are weeping, but t. H. Is happy today. The annual body issue. Espn does it every year. They six covers of some amazing people. One of hi favorite in the world, Venus Williams featured there. I would never have the confidence to stand there in that way. Michael phelps, great athletes. But its the bottom cover. Bottom left. Bottom left of the Texas Rangers first baseman Prince Fielder that had me up all night. I saw it, clicked on it in the middle of the day. And in a good way or bad way . Like haunting your dreams . I couldnt stop thinking about it. He would pop in my mind. The picture of him would pop in my mind. Okay. And because you liked it . I loved it. I love it. And not for, like reasons. But because it was spectacular confidence. I mean, look at him. Hes got what some would traditionally refer to as a gut. I dont call it that, but thats what some would refer to it as. But the pose, the confidence, everything about it is he seems like a greek god. Listen, he is a big, strong man. He has i mean, he is. What im saying is some people are saying he doesnt have the right kind of body. Hes a fit guy. Hes a big, strong guy. Hes a slugger. Hes always looked that way. Shes the body hes had since he came in the major leagues. I think its a cool picture. The tattoos are cool. Theres one tattoo that this is another reason i was thinking about it. Theres a strategically placed, like, womans face right on the side of the tummy. So i started counting his tattoos last night. My gosh. I was counting his tattoos. He also released a statement in which he basically says everyone has a different body type. He is in shape to perform at the top of this game for what he does in his job. I mean, i love it. Weve got a get you a netflix account. Something to do at night so you dont have to just willie. Its a cool picture. There are some people who say and asked the question if this was a woman, a female athlete who wasnt in the shape of Venus Williams, what would we say about it . I havent delved that deeply into it. But there are some people who are asking. Does he get more kudos because hes a guy opposed to if it was a woman . I guess so. I havent thought about it either. Some people are asking. I dont know. All right. You know what . This is a moment in time that just pause for a second. Put the kid down. And put yourself in Jimmy Fallons wifes shoes. Last night halle berry was a guest on the tonight show. She and jimmy fallon showed off their gymnastics skills. This is a human hamster wheel. Halle, should we show them how we roll . Lets do it. Lets show them how we roll. All right. Now, i promise im not going to look at anything. I promise. Just trust me. Im not. All right. All right, i peeked. Youre not looking. Tell me when to go. One, two, three, go. Okay. Again, if youre jimmys wife and this is why i wore pants today. I never wear pants. But i thought willie was going to ask me to do a hamster wheel. No. You dont want to see me do that. Its a good feat of acrobatics. Look at that. And would you peek . Shes got to have spanx on, right . But would you peek . No. That would be wrong. Ethically, professionally, morally, and other reasons. Your morals. Theres your man right there, Prince Fielder. Jimmy fallon, though, is there anyone else on the face of the earth who could go to a celebrity like halle berry with that pitch and shed say lets do it. He is really funny. And he gets people out of their element which is what im trying to get you to do. You really want to do the hamster wheel . Not today. We will work on it and bring you our version coming to a theater near you. There will be neck injuries. Our show today now simulcast on sirius xm 108. We want to know what do you see right now .

We could see some areas picking up an inch or so of rainfall. You could end up with higher amounts. Elsewhere across the country, we have the stationary front in the southeast.

After hearing one of them, your Bathroom Habits will never be the same. Theres a tease. Dr. Sampson davis is an e. R. Physician with the meadowlands hospital center. And dr. Leigh at lsu shreveport. Good to see you this morning. Lets start with headlines from the news this morning. Several virals of smallpox found in a closet at the National Institutes of health. What does that tell you . Its like finding the forgotten mittens. The nih reported they found viles of smallpox from 1950 in an unused lab. They did the right thing. They reported it to the cdc. And they are transporting the viles of smallpox to test and make sure that everythings okay. That its not something thats going to cause infection. Now, smallpox is a very deadly virus in the 20th century in which it killed over 500 Million People. Theyre being responsive and transparent about this issue. Nothing to be worried about here . I dont know. I find it a little disconcerting. There are only supposed to be two places that have it in the world. In russia in a lab and the cdc. And they casually mentioned by the way in an old storage room, a bit of smallpox. Like your crazy uncle bill found a live grenade from world war ii in his closet. So i find it a little disconcerting. All right. But no threat. No. Not now. Well marinade on that. All right. Journal of pediatrics published a report saying childhood vaccines are generally safe. Of course this is in a climate right now were seeing an uptick in measles, for example. Where does this report stand as far as the side effects that some vaccines can have . So every vaccination has side effects. Sometimes you may have a fever, may have a bit of diarrhea. In particular like rotovirus itself can cause that. And so the studies show theres been a decrease in this blockage with the vaccination. But this study again is a very great study. It showed there is no link between autism and vaccinations. And the major side effects are very limited and the benefit of the vaccination outweighs the risk. Despite all this evidence there isnt really a link there, there are a lot of people that still feel that. A parent gets worried if they take their child for a vaccination, they could have side effects that lead to longterm problems. There was a british medical journal that was the original back in 1998 that said theres maybe a link. And they said its a big elaborate fraud since then. We have a short memory. We forgot when tens of thousands of children died every year from communicable diseases. We dont see it. On the news youll hear about one kid that has a strep infection that makes the news. Think about 15,000 kids have died before there was a vaccination. Changing topics, we brought this up earlier. The wall street journal came out with a report, final information on how to dry your hands in the bathroom. Willie is a dryer. Im a towel. Which of us is healthier . I personally being full of hot air, but im a towel person. Ill tell you why i subscribe to the matt lauer journal in microbiology where you dont touch anything in a bathroom right . You wash your hands and the towels you just motion detector it. You dry and you touch the door handle. Im not sure the predecessor did a good job washing their hands before they touched the handle. So im a towel girl. Isnt there a risk about becoming complete germ free to the point were no longer immune to anything. I think weve been exposed to enough germs that wont be an issue. But with dryers work with me, doctor. Willie has a theory. Wash your hands. Willie has a theory that we turn these into these germaphobes and thats just not normal. Im a clean person, but i dont obsess like other people. Again with this study in particular, the electric Dryer Company and the paper towel company, theres a race to the finish line. And ultimately whos going to win is the most cost efficient, the most ecofriendly. So that would be the winner at the oend the day. Plus theres paper towels all over the floor of the bathroom. Its not good to leave your hands wet and then shake someones hand. Doctors, thank you. Up next well get you caught up on all the news you need to know before you walk out the door. And later, keeping your guacamole green. Weve got some kitchen secrets for you. I love these. Right after this. Im mary and i have copd. Im jeff and i have copd.

Same story for tomorrow although we dont really have a risk of strong storms anywhere across the country. But run of the mill downpours with your larger hail possible. And also your lightning.

If youve ever been frustrated peeling a hard boiled egg, frustrated when your guacamole turns brown, were here to unlock the kitchen secrets. Good morning. Good morning, tamron. Hi, willie. Outside of princefielder naked on that magazine, this is the favorite thing of the day. Again with Prince Fielder. Were launching in with the first important thing. How do you peel a bunch of garlic without getting your hands sticky and stinky. Right here. You have just these two bowls. Any bowls. And an entire head of garlic. Dont do anything. Invert the bowl, shake shake shake shake. Youve got that. Shake more. Come on, shake it up. What i love about this is theres so many recipes lets see what you got. Oh, my gosh. What . It worked. I mean, of course i did it. Look at this. Well done. Nice job, willie. I love that. Thats a great trick. You dont have to do anything. Put it in there and shake. Thats it. It works better with garlics thats a little bit older. Not fresh, fresh, fresh garlic. Let me tell you about boiling eggs. People have problems peeling once boiled. Use older eggs. Not old eggs, just older eggs. Because they dont hold together as tightly. Using boiling water with cold eggs, that helps. Putting a bit of vinegar in the water helps. And now were just going to shake this peel. Youre going to do it too. Theres a little water, a hard boiled egg in here, and were going to shake the peel right off the egg. Shake. Shake. Youre going to hear it. Its going to come apart. Oh, it is coming apart. Look at that. I think its off. Mines off. What about you guys . You made soup. Egg drop soup. Its delicious. Thats a cautionary tale of what to do. So not too hard. Heres whatnot to do. Thats gross. This is how we did these. I shook too hard. This is huge. Help us. Its a nightmare. I love making guacamole early so you dont have to do it easier. Some people say put the pits in it, but i dont like the chucks. You put a little bit of water on top. So that creates a barrier. Then you put can you cut this off . Yeah. Be careful. You want to do it so its flat be careful. Then you need to get it mushed all the we down. Lightly. Pat, pat, pat. Once you have a seal, it wont oxidize or go brown. Wont it make it watery. No you just pour it out. It wont affect the flavor. Some people put lime in, but that affects the flavor. You can keep it up to 24 hours. Now, how do you make confectioner sugar if you dont have any . So you can put that cup of sugar in there. In this thing . Yeah. The blender, yeah. In the industry its called a blender. And some corn starch. Okay. And then were going to do this for two minutes. Were going to get this in there. And once are you kidding me . And then here it is. Thats all. This for you guys to eat. Im going to pit you guys against each other. Im here all day. How do you pit cherries . All you need a cherries, chop sticks, there you go.

People magazine paid a lot of money for Jessica Simpsons wedding pictures. Yes, they did. Beautiful cover. I didnt realize jessicas father did not walk her down the aisle. Because hes officiated.

You can tell who read the first part of them. He wasnt anyway, but beautiful Carolina Herrera dress. Shes in such amazing shape. Looked gorgeous. If you peel open that People Magazine, theres another great feature of savannahs baby shower we had for her last week and it was a fun and crazy time. Peter callahan is the guy who makes who caters these some of these events for us and it was such delicious food. He makes the little baby things. He did the doughnuts on the wall which were so cute. Makes like the Little French fries. Tiny pizza. So we wanted to thank him for that. Yes. All right. We want to look at pictures of Jennifer Lawrence at fashion week in paris. Usually people are photographed because theyre looking so chic and glam. Jennifer lawrence was photographed for another reason because she likes to have fun. Good for her. She was photographed with emma watson from harry potter and she gave her a face job. We called these face jobs when we were kids. She would be a fun friend to have. Doesnt she delight you . Just this attitude of most people at that point in life, really care about what other people think. Yes. She knows a gazillion cameras are on her and shes just chomping on the gum. Especially at a paris Fashion Event and with her friend. Get like that. By the way, j. Los outfit we didnt talk about with the one pant leg. You loved that, isnt you . One pant leg and had a slit all the way up. Which is called pelvic pelvic pelvag sneeshgs showing your pelvic bone. I used to have great pelvage. I did. The bone went in. I just did. Now that its its a trend, i wouldnt show mine for anything on the planet. Timing is everything, hoda. There it is. Thats a dress with a pant and there it is. Everyones we got it. Thank you. All right. Anyway, so weve talked about a lot of different dating shows. Heres one you might like, called dating naked. So couples on vh1 actually date naked. You get to look at the person full on. In the entirety. Lets take a look at a little bit of the trailer, the part we can show. The first time going through my mind is, is it too late to run . Oh, my gosh. Im going to die. Usually it take mess three or four days to see my girl naked. This is such a time saver. Dating naked is actually very freeing. As naked as i feel right now, its probably the coolest date ive ever been on in my entire life. I felt an instant connection with him and i think he felt it too. There is no way on gods green earth. On gods green earth. Even though panama is beautiful. Ever. Ever. I cannot i felt like she felt when she was walking on that boat and trying to cover herself up, thats what i would be dying. And hes so free and open. He couldnt have cared less. Oh, my god. Premiers next thursday on vh1. Wow. Oh, my gosh. But theres another one thats even worse because weirder. Yeah. Its called married at first sight. This one premiered last night on the fyi network. The premise, you dont know the person, but you learn so there are a couple of dating coaches, shrinks, et cetera finding the Perfect Match for you, someone youve never met. Match makers going to put you with the one youre scientifically more compatible with. But you have to agree to marry the person the first time you meet them is on your wedding day. The way it is in some countries you dont know the person and there they are on your wedding day. Have fun, kids. Lets take a look at the moment when one bride met one groom. Seeing someone that was just absolutely gorgeous pop out of the door and then her crying immediately when she saw me. Which could have been good and bad. I couldnt help but look at his family because they are like beaming with huge smiles looking at me and i just happened to be not attracted to the guy. She was freaking out and it seems like she doesnt know whats going on. And it was a tense moment. Im getting married right now to someone i dont know. Im thinking i just made the worst decision of my life. I am so scared. Oh, my god. You think . The next one thats coming out next week is wait a second. Im getting married naked. Theyre going to mix the two, its the first time you meet naked and then you say, i do. Can you imagine. I cant. What is this world coming to . That made my stomach hurt that whole situation. George clooney is not going to go on a reality series like that. Hes not going to be waiting for her at the aisle. If you look at the other side of it, half marriages end in divorce anyway. So your chances after all the best intentions. They dont work. Now your odds are probably similar, i would think, because if someone shares they check values, beliefs, all those kind of things, and you know, after a while the chemistry goes away anyway. Why dont you just fast forward through that part. You havent thought this thing through, hoda. If you have values. What . Youre not going to you might. You might. If you care about being honest and being committed to somebody, how can you say im going to marry whoever and be on television . Being on television, right. Im not saying theyre immoral, but im saying both of you share that kind of a take, chances are its not going to last anyway. Unless you want to have a baby really badly and tried dating. Lets not introduce the baby. Want to have children and theyre nice, solid, non you know, theyve got they value the same things you value. Im not saying that i would ever do it in a million years but i you would watch. I would watch. And the naked one too. Definitely watch that one. All right. Its time for a oh, dear. Shout out.

I want to try to make it the sexiest album i ever made. And you go there. You do go there. One lyric that was a lot of great im one of those that looks at the titles, you wrote one with daisy fuentes. I did. Which surprised me. And then one of the lyrics, i forget to to remember to forget. Were going to sing today. Of all these songs this is the one thats going to be the one that stands out. I dont finish a song unless i love it. I would think if i love a song that other people might love it too. Were all a lot of people have similar tastes. Ive never had that experience that i heard other songwriters say where they knew it like right there waiting i tried to give that song away to barbra streisand. She said no . The sweetest thing in the word and said no and ive worked with her sink since then, but i still have the Voicemail Message when i sent her that song, richard, i love love love this melody, its gorgeous but im going to need you to rewrite the lyrics because im not going to be right here waiting for anybody.
