And dog fights. A feud between pita and sara palin gets nastier and even more personal. She joins us live today, tuesday, january 6th, 2015. Good morning everyone. Welcome to today on a chilly Tuesday Morning. 21 degrees outside and that is headed down. 60 in new york city sunday. 21 today, getting colder. Snow on the way. Wipe that smile off your face. Exactly. Really do. Lets show you whats going on right now. Again, weve got another arctic high and weve got reinforcing cold air behind that. We are going to be watching this strong High Pressure build in. Weve got windchill washrnings stretching all the way into the northeast today. Right now, it feels like 16 below in minneapolis, zero in cleveland. New york city, it feels like nine. And then tomorrow morning, record lows. Were going to get to minus 14 in minneapolis tomorrow morning. Cleveland at seven. As we move into the northeast, it will be 24 in new york city, 16 in charleston. Thursday, even colder. Nine below in chicago. Thats an air temperature. 10 below in indianapolis. Plus, weve got this clipper system coming across. Portland will see very close to record lows. Bev also got lakeeffect snow watches, warnings and Winter Weather warnings. Snow is developing. In fact, lets look live right now. Washington d. C. , we are talking about snow. A few inches. This will basically shut down washington d. C. There will probably in fact, we already know weve got closures of schools stretching from d. C. Back to columbus. Look at the white house right now. Chicago, theyve seen a few inches of snow already. Theres been some School Closings as well. Roads getting anywhere from 2 to 3 inches of snow. And overnight in upstate new york, some tractortrailers off the road. Theyre going to pick up anywhere from a foot and a half to 2 feet of snow in some spots. Lets go to dylan right now. She is just outside of syracuse. The colds is still coming. Reporter it certainly is. The heaviest of the lakeeffect snow has now lifted well to our north, but it was absolutely brutal when we got here yesterday. Take a look at this photo i took. It was absolutely impossible to drive. It was whiteout conditions. And then literally just moments later, it looked like this. Totally clear. That is the nature of lakeeffect snow. That clipper thats moving through the midwest and into the east coast is going to shut off the lakeeffect snow, but it did produce some significant snowfall, especially back through iowa where i29 was shut down for a time as the roads were just very dangerous. Fortunately, no one was injured. We also saw treacherous Road Conditions back through south dakota. Now its all about the cold. Weve already seen the cold move into areas like the Northern Plains and the upper midwest. Folks doing whatever they can to brace themselves for temperatures well below zero. And its only going to get colder. We are looking for the lakeeffect snow to start back up later on tonight. An additional one to 2 feet of snow possible. Lets go to the map right now and show everybody. Heres what were talking about. Erie, pennsylvania, western new york, onto watertown and syracuse, were talking about another 2 feet of snow and then we have this reinforcing shot of cold air. We are going to be in the deep freeze a little while longer. Thanks very much. Meanwhile out on the west coast, heavy rains in Washington State have led to dangerous flooding there and mud slides have forced hundreds to evacuate. We have the latest on that. Good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. This is one neighborhood on the brink of an even bigger mudslide. Now there is concern more of it could give way later today. While the head of this storm has moved on, the damage and destruction is just being realized. This is the moment it happened. A mudslide wiping at least three homes off their foundation, leaving others teetering on the edge, shutting down highways and roads. For a region used to rain, this was historic. What many in western washington called the most destructive storm in a decade. Neighborhoods under water. Tiffany binkleys mother and aunt were inside this house. They have a few bumps and scrapes, but they made it out alive. Its a miracle right there. Reporter with up to 9 inches of pounding rain in just over a day, 200 people were temporarily stranded as mud and debris flowed into town blocking the only road off the neighborhood. All hell broke loose. Everybodys calling, get out. You can hear everything falling down. Reporter some roads could be blocked for weeks. The power of this storm cascading from a nearby fall running three times the normal rate. This massive weather maker now on the move. Its an amazon sized stream of clouds and moisture bringing us unusually near record temperatures and with that a lot of moisture. Reporter this morning in Washington State, no serious injuries, but the threat here still lingers and the cleanup could take months. With critical facilities already evacuated, water logged hillsides like the one behind me are the real concern. Geeologists will be on scene all day today. Matt, back to you. Thanks very much. A man hunt is underway this morning for suspects who shot and wounded two new York City Police officers. Those officers were responding to a robbery call. We have more on this story this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. The two officers are listed in critical, but stable condition and both are expected to recover. It comes during a time when Police Tension in the city is running high. I just heard four gunshots. I looked at my brother, oh, my god. Reporter police are still on the hunt for two suspect this is morning after they shot and injured two nypd officers late last night. One of the suspects is seen here on Surveillance Footage moments before the shooting. Two plain clothes officers responded to an Armed Robbery call. During the confrontation, the suspects opened fire shooting one officer in the arm and lower back and the other in the arm and chest. They performed courageously this evening. They went running off the house to respond. Reporter moments later, the suspects escaped, stealing a white camaro before crashing it. While officials believe this was not a targeted shooting, this incident comes as Police Across the city remain on edge. Just a day earlier, they gathered to lay wenjian liu to rest. He and his partner were gunned down in what was a targeted shooting just two weeks ago. During both funerals, some officers turned their backs on mayor bill de blasio. Monday, the mayor publicly addressed the protests for the first time condemning the actions. They were disrespectful to the families who had lost their loved one. And i cant understand why anyone would do such a thing in a context like that. Reporter today, a 10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects involved last night. Thanks very much. The year in wall street off to a shaky start. The dow fell 330 points on monday. Oil prices tumbling. Here to put things in perspective, hi, jim, happy new year. We were talking during the holidays, you said, these low oil prices are good for consumers. Apparently not so good for the markets. I think we got to be careful of an overreaction. We still have to keep in mind that 300 million americans benefit. Theres 17 million americans that could be hurt by this. The way im hearing this is basically these oil prices are low not because theres a lot of supply, its because theres a slowing down of demand. There is a real problem in europe. I think europe is stripping back into a recession. China does much better with lower oil prices. Im not sweating this decline. Lets put it in perspective. Back in june or july of last year, the price of oil ber barrel was about a hundred dollars. Right. Now yet, it dropped below 50 for a while. Is there is price too low . At 40 you begin to see a lot of bankruptcies. Thats where they start losing a lot of money. North dakota starts losing a lot of money. Were talking about less than 10 of the country. So youre down playing this. You think its a blip on the radar. Absolute blip. It will be positive six months from now. Jim, as always, thanks very much. Now to politics. The 114th congress convenes today with republicans officially taking control of capitol hill. What does that mean for the president and the gridlock in washington . Peter alexander is at the white house this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. For the First Time Since the Bush Administration republicans will control both the house and senate. Those swearings in just two hours away. Their top order of business, trying to overcome grumbling from conservatives within the party as john boehner looks to take his third term of speaker later today. We are going to make them squeal reporter the grand old party is eager for a new start. I do think we need to Work Together. I think that was the failure of harry reid. Reporter Mitch Mcconnells main dwoelsgoals, dont be scary. I dont want the American People to think that if they add a republican president to a republican congress, thats going to be a scary outcome. The controversy over louisianas houses number three republican still defending his speech to a white supremeist group 12 years ago. Republicans decide to elevate into a leadership position says a lot about who what the conferences priorities and values are. Reporter republicans will push to pass the Keystone Pipeline and fight the president over immigration. Republicans know theres a lot on their shoulders. Theres expectation from voters to get something done. Can they prove they can be a governing party, a party that has a positive agenda. Reporter with florida becoming the 36th state to allow samesex marriages, the states former governor now considering his own president ial run calling for respect for the good people on all sides of the issue. With 2016 as the backdrop, perhaps the best bell weather of who will run in upcoming book tours, pretty soon the candidates will have a lot to say, at least on paper. Matt and savannah . Thank you very much. Going to be busy here in the studio. Natalie here now and a tragic story. Just a horrible story. The u. S. Alpine ski team is mourning the deaths of two young prospects killed when they were caught in an avenue laj while training in austria.

The officer was treated for nonlife threatening injuries. For many of us a coffee break is part of your day. You probably wouldnt expect to see the top ranked womens tennis player take one right in the middle of a match. Take a look. All right. So heres the story. She had just lost the first set of the match when she decided she needed a jolt. Apparently jet lag kicking in. She checked if it was okay. Minutes later, there you see, it was delivered right to her. She recovered to win the match. Not only win. She crushed her opponent, advanced in the tournament. Incredible.

We begin this half hour with the investigation of the wealthy Hedge Fund Founder found shot and killed in his apartment on sunday. His son is accused of murder after an apparent argument over money. Nbc correspondent kate snow has more on this. Good morning. Good morning to you, matt. Thomas gilbert jr. Was arraigned on charges of seconddegree murder. Police say the son had clips full of ammunition and the packaging for the gun used in the crime. They say the son shot his father and then tried to make it look like a suicide. Thomas gilbert jr. Known as tommy, seemed to have a charmed life. His family owned an apartment in an exclusive manhattan residence and spent summers in the hamptons. He went to an elite private school, boarding school and then princeton. At 30, he he is now charged with murder. Tommy went to his parents place sunday and asked his mother to leave so he could speak to his father alone. Mother did leave. She went to get some food for junior. About 15 minutes after that, she had a bad feeling and decided to return and she found senior on the floor with a bullet in his head. She also found a gun resting on his chest, his left hand covering it. Reporter Shelly Gilbert called 911. It was said the husband was shot by her son. Reporter detectives who responded to the apartment suspected the crime scene was staged to look like a suicide. They went to tommys apartment they found two magazine clips and other ammunition. We found numerous loose rounds as well and the manufacturers box of a glock 40 caliber. Also we have a shell casing envelope with the serial number of the gun that was recovered at the crime scene. Substantial amount of physical evidence to use. Reporter Law Enforcement sources say Tommy Gilbert was having money problems. A few weeks ago he argued with his parents when they wanted to reduce his monthly allowance. Sources say they hadnt talked again until tommy showed up on sunday. He has had other brushes with the law, too. Law enforcement source says four previous arrests, including one for drug possession and one in september when Police Records show tommy was arrested in the hamptons for violating a protective order that requested he stay away from a former school mate. Authorities suspected arson. However, police have never identified gilbert jr. As a suspect nor has he been convicted of any crime. 70yearold tom gilbert sr. Is being remembered as a kind, friendly man, whose small hedge fund had a good year in 2014. Attorneys for the son, Tommy Gilbert jr. , had no comment on the case. Employees of the hedge fund, his wife and family are understandably in shock. One friend told cnbc tom was intelligent, thoughtful and nonaggressive. And he added that thats sort of a rare trait to be nonaggressive as a hedge fund manager. Thank you. Take a turn now. Al has more on this cold weather. Thats right.

Now shes in a fight with with Animal Rights group peta. It all began with these photos of her son, trig, stepping on the family dog to reach the sink. Peta blasted those images. Palin called peta double standard hypocrites who can, quote, kiss her okole. We now have the former governor with us now. Thank you for giving me a chance to say okole on National Television, adding to our vocabulary. Good. Im glad you looked it up and knew what it meant. On a serious note, you posted these photos of trig, thought it was a sweet image of your 6yearold son overcoming obstacles and finding a way to reach the sink. Instead, peta fired back calling you a bizarrely callus woman. Its odd that anyone, including a mother, would find it appropriate to post a thing with no sympathy for the dog in the photo. Ill let you respond to the basic accusation. Did you think it was okay for a child to step on a dog . In this case, yes, because trigs service dog is a strong, trained dog that does really, really love his best buddy, trig. And they put up with each other. And there was no harm at all to this dog. Ironically, peta made my point, though, that i was making in the post where i said, you know, life gives you what may be perceived as stumbling blocks and use them as stepping stones instead and may 2015, the new year, allow opportunity for that and then that day i witnessed my own son using, as a stumbling block a stepping stone. And you really call out peta for hypocrisy saying it posted a picture that Ellen Degeneres tweeted of a little girl standing on a dog. She was, of course, their woman of the year in 2009. Right. And bristol had pointed that out to me because shes met ellen and really likes ellen. She said, you know, mom, look at this image. Its the exact same image, a kid using the canine as a stepstool and the outcry there with ellens posting was oohs and ahhs and sweet. And then she became woman of the year for peta. And, of course, man of the year, i think just last year, 2014, was mayor de blasio and he had just doggone it, killed a groundhog when he dropped it last year on groundhog day. Absolutely hypocritical, double standard usual applied to, perhaps, constitutional conservatives. You fire off some shots and land some punches in this posting for the hypocrisy that you just mention. You also talk about president obama, that he tried dog meat when he was under 10 years old in indonesia. I have to ask you about that one, though. Is that trading cheap shot for cheap shot . Heck no. That was the best line in the post that i wrote. It was the kickoff line. Hey, peta, chill. At least trig didnt eat the dog. And, no, it also made a point that, you know, president obama, to many of the farleft radicals who are part of peta, they look at him as, i dont know, their messiah. And, i dont know i think he, as a child, probably the same age as trig, did much worse than just use the dog as a stepping stool. There are some areas of common ground. I think you said that you probably agree with petas true mission, respecting gods creation and critters and peta said they have no reason to believe that your household pets arent ordinarily pampered. Do i see the makings of a peaceful resolution here, get together and smoke a peace pipe . Smoking the peace pipe. Well, i do respect if that truly, sincerely is their mission, to respect the sanctity of gods creation and all the critters, absolutely. You know, many of them, though, would never put up with what i believe in. And i believe that our resources here, including in many cases wild protein, animals, are put here for mans responsible use and utilization. So, i think that they would certainly disagree on the fact that i hunt. You know, i eat, therefore i hunt and many of our mills are wrapped in fur, not cellophane. And they probably wouldnt support me on that issue. But i believe there would be Mutual Respect and support if we can both agree that, yeah, gods creation here is really precious, very sacred and we should do all we can to conserve. Real quickly before i let you go the name of the dog, jill hadassah, the name of the dog is kind of unusual for a name. How did you come up with that . I had a roommate in college named jill. Loved her. Always want aid jill. And then hadassah, thats a jewish name for esther. I didnt have a six kid but had a dog that i finally got to use those names. Governor palin, thank you. Its always good to have you. Appreciate it. Thank you so much. And coming up, who needs elsa from frozen . We will take you to the reallife breath taking city made of ice.

She wanted to show off her body in a bikini but ran into a problem with shape magazine. Now shes being featured in the pages in a special photo spread. Well talk to brooke in a moment. First the rest of the story. It started with this photo, sporting a bikini 28yearold Brooke Birmingham was proud of her body after losing 172 pounds a goal that took more than four years of diet and exercise. She submitted her new look to shape magazine for a weight loss article but birmingham received an email from the magazines writers saying my editors is hoping you could send over a different after foet o theyre looking to include one with a shirt. Birmingham fought back on her blog writing, i dont feel like my body was given the same respect as others on their site. This is a body after losing 172 pounds a body that has done amazing things. That blog quickly went viral sparking a firestorm and a conversation about accepting and embracing real bodies. Shape magazine however claims it was all a misunderstanding. Feature brooke and five other real women inside the pages of shape magazine and we want to start a larger discussion about what happens after you lose a significant amount of weight. We look forward to reading it. Will you have your bikini pkt . Of course. Absolutely. Staying true to that promise, shape took us behind scenes to the photo shoot, acknowledging one womans effort to embrace who she is. And brooke is with us now along with shapes editor at large. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Have you seen this photo yet, brooke . Yeah. I saw it just the other day. We have to throw it up on the screen and let people take a look at it. How does it feel for you to see this photograph inside the pages of shape magazine . Its completely amazing. I mean theres no other word that i can describe it. Its more than i thought it would be. Were you surprised at the reaction all of this got, starting back in the spring . Oh, yeah. I mean i had no idea that when i started my blog i would go what they call viral on the internet and all this would happen. I am so honored that it did. From shape magazines perspective, you said this is a misunderstanding. There was an editor that said we dont take those kind of pictures t sounds like this has been a learning experience for everybody. Absolutely. We are so thankful that brooke helped to kick start this important conversation about what happens after you lose a lot of weight. Its something we dont typically talk about in the media or in general. When you lose a significant amount of weight there is a journey after the journey. Thats the conversation that were talking about now. And we continue to want to make that dialogue go on and on. Speaking about starting a conversation you certainly have done that. You had a round table and sat down with other women who have gone through this weight loss journey. What are the things you talk about . Whats the number one issue for people who have accomplished losing the weight but then face a new life and a new issue to get adjusted to . Its hard to shed that old thinking im overweight i dont deserve things in life because im not good enough. We work through them and decide we are worth it. The magazine is taking it further. Youre starting a new section that gets into some of these issues of what happens after weight loss which actually makes a lot of sense. It absolutely does yes. We are so excited. Were launch inging, talking about the journey after the weight loss journey. Weight loss tips. Well be tackling issues that you havent really seen before when it comes to this arena of weight loss. Looking back at how this started, you go on this weight loss journey. You did it the hard way, four years. You wanted to get your picture in the magazine. There was that moment of rejection. For it all to have happened like this at this point, would you change a thing or are you glad it turned out the way it did . Not only did i get to share my story i got to share my story with a bunch of other people in the magazine as well. Theyre all wonderful women. Brooke birmingham appreciate it. By the way, brooke also wrote an inspirational essay about her journey. You can read it on today. Com. Lets send it over to matt and nicole. Thanks, savannah. Thats right we have Nicole Kidman. Shes met her match in a movie in the form of a talking bear named paddington. Someone you may not want to be friend with his. Take a look. Did you say . Yes. What happened to him . Good. But then he disappeared. Oh im sorry. That creature means a great deal to me. Why . Is he endangered . He is now. Hey, nicole nice to have you back. The whole idea here was to make a movie your kids could seen sooe and enjoy. Are you going to warn them before you take them to see them that you dont play a good guy in this . Oh, they know. Oh, yeah . They were very upset that i wasnt playing the bears mother. Im sorry. Bummer. Now theyve adapted to the idea and my 6yearold actually enjoys im the villain. You had fun with this, didnt you . Yeah, i did. I wanted to do something that was fun. Ive done, obviously, many movies that are heavier. Right. And this was just lighthearted. And i love paddington bear. For people who arent familiar with the story, this thing has been around since the 1950s. There are Something Like 35 million copies of the book in print. The message of it is that he is an outsider looking for acceptance . Yes. Well he is a bear that comes from peru and comes to england and is an orphan and needs to find a home. So theres a universal message here . Yeah. Well for me the message is you know kindness to strangers and that were all sort of able to take care of each other. And families exist whether theyre blood families or extended families. Who knows what makes up a family. There seems to be a noise. Were running sound from the movie. Movie. Im hearing the movie. Its following me everywhere. I was reading an article yesterday about you. It was a really good article but something jumped out at me that i like. Your friend sheryl crow was talking about you in the article. She said in her opinion, you have been so poised your entire you know where im going here . No. So poised your entire life and some people may mistake that poise for iciness. Right. Do you understand what shes talking about . I mean i think some of the characters ive chosen tend to be far more removed and only because people say it. I go well im also very shy, as you know. Right. But as ive gotten older, i think ive gotten ive lost some of that shyness. You seem to open up a little bit more with a little bit of age. Youve been famous i laugh a lot more now. Do you . Why . Do you feel freer to do it . And happier. Which is nice. Yeah. Youve been famous for about half your life and i mean really famous. Yeah. Do you ever wish you could get some of that public time back for yourself . No i mean oh, its been an extraordinary journey, my life from a little girl that grew up in sydney and sort of watched the Academy Awards on tv when i was 7 years old to have actually come that whole distance its extraordinary. I cant believe it myself. I like i was reading in the article also. I like the fact that you and keith in nashville and other places have this rule. I think its a really healthy rule. When youre with your children youve got two sets of children older kids and younger kids. The younger are, what 6 and 4 . 6 and 4. When a fan comes up as much as you want to be nice to the fan, when youre with your children you dont take pictures. Explain to me how you came to that. Because our kids dont understand what we do. So for them its just like why is a stranger taking a photo of you . And its very discombobulating to them. They find it odd. Also they feel as if you are theirs and theirs alone and why does this other person have some ownership over you . Right. They look and find it yeah they get the better of us. Theyre like shes my mommy. Exactly. Youve been living in nashville now since, what 2006 . Yes. Its that long . Yeah. Does it feel like home now to you . Oh, yeah very much. Whats life like there for you . We have a very easy warm peaceful life. And i think thats you know thats something that i always wanted and i was heading towards. I didnt know how to find it. And i found it now. 2014 over moving into 2015. Yeah. Do you have goals . Not to make it sound trite, like a resolution but do you have thing s things you would love to accomplish in the coming year . Not really. No . Just take it easy and relax, you slacker . What do i want to accomplish . I just want to enjoy. I think keith and i always say were so blessed, to be able to laugh a lot, love a lot and play a lot. Please give our best to keith. I will. Good luck with the kids and good luck to getting a sense of enjoyment in the coming year. Thank you. Its always nice to see you. Good to see you. Why are you laughing . I laugh.

I promise you, if he can do it so can you. It might seem like he gets a lot of exercise. [ bleep ]. Dont hit the camera. How do you respond to that . Jeff rossen with nbc news. But looks can be deceiving. Jeff rossen may be retrieving that stolen bike but hes not exactly about to take it on a tenmile ride. I dont work out. I wish i would. I detest it. I detest working out. I dont know why. I hear people say oh, it clears my mind. It makes me feel better t makes me feel terrible. I would rather be at home. Sound familiar . Your clothes get tighter. You say i really should do something. But then theres the stress of work. I have three kids. Marriage and stress is all over the place. And your own health goes on the back burner. But to his credit this new year jeff agreed to put his health back at the forefront. And hes letting me lead the way. I need accountability. Youre going to be the one who holds me accountable. The viewers will hold me accountable. So i need that. Thats exactly what hell get. Jeffs not alone out there. So many people just like him, want to start. They just dont know how. All right. Let me list my athletic history. Okay. Now yeah. I played Little League baseball. Thats my athletic history. That was yesterday . Yeah, right. That was a long time ago. Add to that a parent of young kid with his a severe weakness for carbs. Im standing in my kitchen. Because i have kids i have a bag full of fresh bagels that i want to eat, black and white cookies. For the kids chocolate chip muffins my wife just bought. For me this entire kitchen is like one giant mine field. Finally, despite his usual confidence jeff admits being anxious about this whole working out thing. So i hate working out. I hate eating less.

Lots of stops. I would like a credit for at least a start. Clothes get tighter. I travel a lot. Im here a lot. I work a lot. The kids sug know all about. Its hard to find that time and its easy to make excuse. What are your goals . Are they realistic . I would like to lose what 15 pounds. In a month. Is that realistic . Sure. It depends how much effort he puts in the commitment he makes. So far, he has really done that. Whats your biggest fear about taking this on . This right here is a big fear.

As i mentioned on the show before, i like to meditate. Its something that i do daily. This year, i decided to take it up a notch and begin practice ing meditation, based on the idea that its a quieting of the mind practiced twice a day for 20 minutes. Studies show it has real Health Benefits, being used to help atrisk kids in schools soldiers suffering from ptsd and women who have been the victims of violence. Dr. David lynch started the foundation, spreading the technique to others around the world. Jerry seinfeld Ellen Degeneres, Russell Brand are all big fans. If you could dedicate 20 minutes to meditation, denise tweet immediate back said it was a big part of my life transformation. Start with baby steps so not to overwhelm. Life is good. Peter said i dont know what it is what it involves, how to do it. I dont know the benefits. I guess i need help. Here to get us started is john butler. Good morning. Good to see you. Good morning. Ive seen you twice this week. I took my introductory free course on sunday about two hours long. And thats basically where you introduce people to the idea of transcendental. Advertising is obviously a big part of that. People are finding out as a culture were discovering that the answers have to come from within. We cant rely on the outside over and over and over and expect it to fix. We go back to democrats, it doesnt work. Back to republicans. Same problems over and over and over. Where is it going to come from . Youre hearing it from people of all walks of life moms, dads people who live in the city in rural areas, were just all feeling overwhelmed . Technology sped up the pace of life to the point that the activity is way overbalancing the amount of silence the amount of down time, the amount of rest. So we suffer. We feel like life is a struggle, its a burden. Its not. Its easy. Tell me the difference in transcendental meditation versus what i do trying sit there 20 minutes and quiet my mind . They generally fall into three categories. Focus, concentration or contemplation or open monitoring guided meditation. Transcendental is different in either of those in that its the movement of the mind until its quieter and quieter more abstract fulfilling. And that happens spontaneously when you set up that the mind takes over. It will do it if you give it a chance. Its not a religion or philosophy. In the course i attended you say anyone can do t a lot of people on twitter felt like a, they didnt have enough time or with their busy life juggling kids and work, they could not do 20 minutes twice a day. I know. Everyone feels like that. Were all so busy. Oh, my god one more thing to squeeze into my life. If you just squeeze in this thing youll find suddenly the space starts to open up. You start to get more done. You feel more clear. You prioritize better instead of spending all the time and endless Little Things that are distracting us, we focus on what we want to do. It just goes easily. You have an official website where you talk about the Health Benefits for people suffering from high Blood Pressure, ptsd with soldiers even kids who live in violent areas, you introduce programs that have helped kids who live in some of the urban communities but its not free which again a lot of people ask about in the class. How do you balance that out . Its something you want to give to the world for free but you cant. Of course. There is a course fee. The course fee just goes to support all the centers everywhere. The idea is to make the meditation available to as many people as possible. If it was just a few donationbased centers, how many people would be able to make it to l. A. New york to learn if theyre in philadelphia new york seattle . Its funded by the course fee. The whole point is to make it available. January 11th, i start my official train inging and then i have three classes after that. Were going to check back in with john to see if it works and if i was able to actually master the technique. See you january 11th. Looking forward to it. Oh, boy. Thank you very much. From reducing stress to reducing your mess, well try to improve our lives.

It seems toys are all over the place. All over the place. Organizing with good ideas theyre all over the place. Cant avoid it. Lifestyle director at parents magazine. Laura, good morning. Hi, laura. Thanks for having me. They are everywhere. Dont want to step on the kids. Lets get started with labels labeling. One of the mistakes parents make, theyre trending, you see them all over pinterest but theyre easily erased. Handwritten label or something thats typed out, something that wont be washed off. Containers and label. You dont want containers that arent easy to open. Opt for something with an open top or drawer that is slide easily like this. These bins right here. So easy for kids to put things away. You dont like toy boxes or storing toys on the floor. I dont. Why not . The secret to keeping toys organized is every play thing needs a designated home. With the toy box youre throwing anything and everything inside. Its jumbled. Its a mess. Like likewise, if toys are stored on the floor theyre not really put away. Thats only for big things like a play kitchen. Everything else should be on a shelf, in a closet, in a bin. What do you do with the old toys . I love this toy. A year later they dont want anything to do with it. Donating toys, purging occasionally is the key to staying organized. Often it is the parents having trouble getting rid of things, not the kids. Be honest with yourself about what your kids are actively using. Dont save it because you spent a lot of money, because its beautiful, because grandma gave it to them. If theyre not playing with it, its just clutter. And other kids will enjoy it much more. Absolutely. Lets talk about how you can organize things. For example cars. Asher is over here. Playing with cars. This is something we do at my home, too. My kids have little cars everywhere. You put them in the match box car great. And we have this adorable race car backpack. When you unzip it, it becomes a racetrack. I love what you did with the shoe organizer with the dolls. Great way to maximize vertical space thats normally unused, perfect for barbie and other small toys. Great for accessories and other small toys. Thanks. Were out of time. Thanks, kids. Keep playing.

Northbound we have a second of three incidents going on here second of two incidents, sorry, up towards third street north of 92. Thats still causing a distraction and slowdown. South of here northbound routes holding on to their commute the last half hour. Same sticking points for san jose. The bay bridge toll plaza, though, not a sticking point.

Jenna bush hager is filling in again for the vacationing kathie lee who is soaking up the rays. Zen. Youre not the only bush girl on the show today. We have another girl sofia bush. Sofia bush. Is she related to you . I do not think so. Just because we have the same last name. Billy bush is. Billy bush is related. Hes my cousin. Sofia is not. Shes just a cute girl i would like maybe a distant relative. Shes from chicago pd. We have one of hollywoods newest and best looking Jenny Mccarthy and Donnie Wahlberg this is a docu series as opposed to a reality. Whoa. Copping a feel. Shes very open about all things. And i was curious if he was, apparently we like people that are open. We do. Speaking of the bachelor last night. Talk about being open the bachelor do you watch the bachelor . I watch the bachelor when my husband allows. We talked about what do you mean when he allows . When hes not around. He watches a little bit i like watching with him because his jokes are hilarious. Like, the weirdest sort of and in a funny way he makes these jokes about being on the bachelor and blah, blah, blah it makes it hilarious. Commentary. Who is this girl . Why is this girl here . This guy, prince farming they call him, i cant believe it is the 19th season. Can you believe that . 19 seasons. Were so old. And into it. Okay. 33 years old, chris soles. Hes from iowa. So usually they have 25 women and so they did this big dramatic thing where it was a lot first of all, it was three hours, epic, epic season and premiere. They did this thing where they brought 15 girls, he got to know some of them. And then Chris Harrison came in and said, hey, not to overwhelm you, but theres 15 more. So all these girls started coming out, okay. So he got to give some roses away. The first he got a First Impression rose. So he gave this to this girl named brit who i sort of liked. She was she is a woman who gives hugs for free. Lets watch. Two, three, four, five. Five mississippi, six mississippi, seven mississippi. Eight nine, ten. Look at the claws in the back. 12 mississippi. That was at least 12 mississippi. 12 mississippi seconds. Lets discuss. Wait. This creeped me out. The claw the old claw in the back. What was going on . What was going on with that hug . He liked it. She hasnt had a relationship in years. She gives free hugs on the streets of l. A. I like hugs but i dont know if i would give free hugs. Thats brit. Dont forget that. Things quickly got intimate with brit and chris. Take a look. Juicy. 3p when were kissing, it was honestly like im kissing someone that is my boyfriend, that ive known for a long time. Oh, my gosh. Something real is going on amidst all this chaos. And im loving it. Are you like, tripping out a little bit. I actually really like you. What did you expect . Now, was she hot because they were kissing or that roaring fire was right behind her . Okay first of all, a little crazy eyes. And the smacking when youre kissing someone, you dont realize what it looks like or sounds like. That sounded also you know, ive always learned and maybe i havent played the game right, but i havent played it in ten years, but ive always learned you dont put all your cards out there right away. And for her to say, i actually like you and she just met the man. She just met him and they already made out. Not great. Lets keep our eyes on peoples eyes. Thats how you know who is cuckoo and whos not. Here is ashley. She showed weird behavior last night. Look at her eyes. Take a look. It is like an onion. You cut them but when you cut them, you peel them back. And what you do is you peel them back layer by layer. What is that . Thats an onion. I swear it is an onion. Can i please just kick it . If this is a pomegranate, god bless it. It is a pomegranate. It is. Wow. I feel powerful. Okay. Whatever that was. That was totally weird. But what she did do that one, she interrupted somebody elses time with him so he would spend time with her. She walked up with her own rose. Shes a cuckoo. That doesnt seem in the theory of not showing all your cards at once. Shes crazy. Did he keep her . Yes he did. He kept the onion . Why dont we talk about this . There is a drunk girl is this coming up . Kara the drunk girl. Lets watch her. Megan. The blonde is the drunk one. Thats tara. She was falling over. Okay. Just real quick. Shes the drunk one. And she almost fell off the thing. Right. He kept her. He kept her . Which this is this is going on for a long time. This is a lot of so he can kept the drunk girl. He gave her a rose. Okay. He gave crazy eyes the one who broke in with the pomegranate, gave her a rose. And the first girl he made out with, he gave a rose to her. Well, the question is, how much of this is producing and how much of it is that a man just dont know. That men just dont know. A lot of men a lot of women a lot of women are like, we know. They like the drunk one and they like the crazy one because there are better odds with those, i think, right . I guess if thats what youre looking for. If thats what youre looking for. Anthony . Yeah. Anthony all right. Okay. So lets move on. Good news if youre cameron diaz. She got married we heard to benjy madden. They got married in a private ceremony at her house. Hes the guitarist and vocalist for that band good charlotte. If you wonder who he is, this may help you. He has a twin brother named joel madden. Who is joel madden. Joel madden is married to nicole richie. Look at that. So they are sisters in law and that means Lionel Richie is in the picture. Cameron diazs fatherinlaw law. Fatherinlaw once removed. Theyre not really related, right . Yes. Doesnt matter. But she can sing with him if she wants to. That must be so cool to have Lionel Richie as your fatherinlaw law. They got married on monday night, either to keep it secret or a good way we talked about how to get out of the holiday depression. What better way than to get married. Shes 42 years old, first marriage. You wonder, there are a lot of things you wonder about. She dated remember her with arod and all kinds of different guys. Justin timberlake. I wonder if she decided sometimes you wonder if it is the right time and a great guy happens to come along at that time and it worked. My parents said, hey nice to meet you, and they were married three months later. Are you kidding . I know. How long after you met henry did you get married . Five years. He needed some coercing. There is a feeling of some people they know, it doesnt matter how long they met, they just kind of like brit and chris in the bachelor. When you know you know. Celebrity news. Blake lively gave birth congrats to her, her husband is ryan reynolds. One good looking babe. No kidding. Teresa giudice you know her from the real housewives of new jersey is in federal prison now, she went to the federal Correctional Institute in danbury connecticut, there were photos of her having her last meal before she went in. Tmz has shots of her eating. Exclusively in a diner. And exclusively eating an egg sandwich. So listen. That was not a nice, flattering shot. No. Nobody likes a picture while youre eating. But it really got us thinking, what would be your last first of all would you eat a last meal . She pulled over presumably at 3 00 in the morning before hopefully neither one of us will spend time in jail. You never know. When you pull over and have a last meal i dont know. I think if i were look, shes leaving her kids behind and she has to feel terrible. I dont know how, but i dont know how you eat something but you know, you cant. Sometimes you cant. You know what i would eat . I would stop at the greasiest mexican Food Restaurant i could find, a bean burrito, a margarita, guacamole. That may prove disastrous once i enter jail, but youll be happy. And thats what matters. Exactly. Dont go anywhere. Check out who is waiting in the wings.

This is like a prank from her it was me being like i felt like i was in ninth grade. I like the boy, i just want to talk to him on the phone and i ran. You dont seem shy. Either one of you. But you were to each other. So you decide you were going to live this out on a it is not a reality show. It is a docu series. Youre showing what is going on. Went into the decision to do that . That can be a risky venture as we have seen with some past couples. Were not really worried about that. Everyone says my god, hes going to break up, it is a jinx for reality show couples. But we always say reality tv shows dont break up couples couples break up couples. It has nothing to do with that. We dont need to do the show we wanted to do the show. We both are workaholics. Im on blue bloods and new kids on the block and shes on sirius writing a book going on tour.

Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis,lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. You should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising bleeding, or paleness. Finally, clearer skin for more than a few days, weeks or months. Enbrel works for me. Ask your dermatologist if you can have clearer skin with enbrel hey i found my true love, livin in a sweet dream.

We are about to find out from their fearless leader and ours, diet and Health Editor madelyn fernstrom. This has been a tough go of it. The holidays are difficult. How did everyone do . Tell us about andrea. First well talk about andrea and how she did in the past two weeks. This is the whole christmas week was big and in the time from right before christmas until now, andrea has all right. She was on the scale. She lost two pounds what . Shes down to and from the start of this, not only did she cut the creep, but she was down seven pounds from thanksgiving. Awesome she stayed even and she lost. Which is the hardest time of the year. Congratulations. Thank you. How does it feel after during the holidays, we all feel terrible come january. You were having the opposite feeling. I feel good, yeah. I feel good. I was very stressed out with everything going on, gifts and preparing meals and everything. But i just modified my snacking a lot. Well talk about that in a minute. Lets check in with nicole. How did you do . Well talk about her weight first, she has been doing really well. She hasnt always been that in the period of time of christmas between now, nicole who is petite, 411, lost another pound. And overall, not only did she cut the creep, she was down a total of three pounds. Congratulations. Thank you. Thats great. Good job. That feels pretty good too i would imagine. Yeah. Down with thanksgiving and christmas. Snacking is the culprit for a lot of us. These ginds s guys found ways to modify. The thank is interesting that is interesting is you dont have to deprive, just modify. What is this . This is creamy spinach parmesan dip. I used light mayo and light sour cream. Very good. Creamy and has the parmesan flavor. And lots of spinach. You can use the veggies if you feel like it. Or baked chips. Most important, she didnt use nonfat she used real things and cut back like Parmesan Cheese is usually a cup she cut it back to a third. Make it real. What happens over here . This is buffalo turkey dip actually instead of chicken. I used left over turkey, shredded it, cubed it, greek yogurt, Cheddar Cheese and ranch dressing powder. The powder. So it is not so fattening. So no sour cream, no mayo just greek yogurt. I cant do dairy, but ill try it, of course why not . Nicole discovered something a lot of people know, a good trick is plain greek yogurt if you can tolerate. Latte or au lait . Cozy or cool . Exactly the way you want it.

Jenna bush hager is filling in while kathie lee takes some vacation time. Were about to learn a good lesson if you feel like youre constantly running around, pulled in a million directions were going to teach you how to say no and feel good about it. Lisa turberist has written a book the best yes making wise decisions in the list of endless demands. This is something we can all take a page from. Jenna happens to be mentioned in your book too. She is. She is the most nonfrantic woman i ever met. We had a dinner and described you in one word and everybody used the word gracious lovely, kind. Thats so nice. Great thing with my kids to say, because jenna made the decision that that is the character she wants to put on display, thats her best yes. She made her choices line up with that. Thats so nice. Im surprised. Yes, yes, yes. We love her. We say yes and then we say no. Thats right n order. We have to make sure to understand what no isnt. So, what is no . No is not a cuss word. Though sometimes it is painful to use, right . No is not hurtful. It does not have to be hurtful. It can be very gracious. No is not a rejection. It is a protection of our best yes answers. If someone invites you to a party and you feel terrible saying no sometimes feels like youre dissing them, you know . It feels like youre doing that in some ways. So heres where this is what we both do. Yes, stall. Stalling is not going to help. Unlike sugar, delaying does not make the best does not make your no any easier. So here we go. All right. When you stall youre going to build their hope that youre going to say yes. Youre going to halt future plans. If youre if you think theyre going to take a space at their party they may not invite somebody else and it makes the no harder to receive in the end. You think it will die on the vine and everyone will forget all about it. Thats right. Exactly. If someone asks you, can you do this, immediately you check your schedule and you know you cant, dont delay go ahead and give a gracious no. I need to learn how to do that. What is no . No is a ready for this . What is it . A gift. Thats right. It is a gift. And so heres the thing. Whats going on . Im a people pleaser by nature. So no can be hard to say. Ill give you a gift. These are some ideas from my book the best yes of how to say no graciously. Okay. Okay. Here we go. What is the gift . This is if someone asks you to do something you cant do it. I should say, while my heart wants to say yes yes, yes, the reality of my time makes this a no. Thats a good one. Heres one. You asked me to go to a party and i cant, thank you so much for thinking of me or asking me to be involved in a project this project sounds wonderful, but as much as i would love to be involved, i cant give the project the attention it deserves. Thats true. My heart says yes, yes, yes right, youve honored them. Your project is valuable, you honored them, but you have to say no. It is gracious. Thank you. Okay. Tape this to my forehead. Four things to consider. When youre trying to make a decision, you already established, okay i want to have a best yes life. So as my season rolls in ive got to make the decision, is this a fit, this request is it a fit with my time, is it a fit with my ability, my money, my passion, my season . What do you mean my season . Jenna, youre in a season where you have a little person in the house. Nearly 2. Nearly 2 years old. Youre in a season where you probably are not going to be able to we talked about this morning it is harder to putting her to bed is my priority. Your best yes right now is maybe to go home but in a different season in a couple of years, you may be able to say before she was born. To the end. Prioritize the best yes. Prioritize your best yes. Here is the most important part. Yes. It is people over projects every time. Thats going to be the best yes. Because when we set our life to the rhythm of rush we will not like who we are. Thats true for me. So my best yes is to prioritize relationships my relationships with god, my relationship with my family, the friends i love, people over projects. Love it. Brilliant. That was such a great i feel better. Thank you. Thank you for teaching us. For more ideas on how to graciously say no head to klgandhoda. Com.

A brandnew season in the next few weeks if youre thinking about putting your house up for sale or shopping for a new place to live, there are a lot of things you need to know before you hit the market. Here are tips with josh altman, the powerhouse real eat estate agent from Million Dollar listing. When People Get Ready to sell their home it is so personal because their children grew up there that sometimes they have difficulty letting go to start off. Yeah. It is funny you say that. It is like every memory that they had in that house adds another 20000 to the price of the house. So what i always tell people is you got to step away, step out of the box, detach yourself from the property, mentally and emotionally and that way when it comes time to sell, youre ready to negotiate and your mind is clear. Youre not thinking about all that stuff, at the end of the day, it is a game. This this is a property. It is an investment. It is not your home anymore. Youre trying to make money on it. When you realize youre going to sell, the first step is to find a real estate agent. How do you find a good one. What i suggest, i get calls all the time how do i choose the correct agent . Meet with two or three of them. Thats important. When i refer a professional to anybody you want to meet with a couple, right . And the few important questions you want to ask are how many sales have you to had in the immediate area, and make sure you say immediate because it is important to have somebody who knows the local inventory, who has lots of clients. Another important question which a lot of people dont ask is what is your budget. What are you going to actually spend on my house marketing this house . A lot of times youll see Real Estate Agents they put a house on the internet and call it a day. They do . Thats not right. Were talking about the big investment of peoples lives. Make sure they have a budget to actually market your property. Pricing is important. You want it to be at a competitive price. But not how do you know what is the right number . It kind of goes one way or another. You have the type of sellers who want to price it aggressively, okay . Even a little underpriced. Places like noew york, you are seeing bidding wars. If youre not in a hot market like los angeles, San Francisco, new york, i say 10 , 15 more give it room to negotiate. Everybody likes to negotiate. When you walk into a place, arent you going to offer less . Definitely. You say declutter, depersonalize get the junk out. You like your stuff. It is funny, because people dont realize how hard it is to actually see themselves in there. That needs to be decluttered. Do we see an after . It is tough. It is tough to do that. I see houses all day long. It is tough when i walk through to imagine myself in the house and im an expert at this. Imagine how a regular buyer feels. Unless you look like tom brady and giselle, take down your photos, and take down as much as possible, get rid of the art can stay up. For sure. And declutter and really make it a blank pallet for everybody to walk in and imagine their lives. You want to be ready. When you put your house on the market it not clean all the way, the kids are there, you have to be ready to go. Ready to go. I would say 20 of the sales that i sell a year are literally off the cuff somebody in my car, they want to see a 3 million house, i say i got the perfect one for you, i take them over, it is sold. You have to be flexible. If youre on the market, it is a way of life for a few months until your house sales. If we want to sell our property, what should we do . What is first step . The number one request that i get we want to buy. You want to buy. What i hear a lot always is School Districts. It is so important. And we actually ran the numbers to see how much more expensive a house in a School District would be compared to the same exact house that is not in a good School District. It will range anywhere from 15000 to 50000 more to be in that better School District. By the way, it is worth it. It is a very safe investment. And when it comes to reselling, it is easier. By the way private schools a lot more expensive thayn goode iveive than a good public school. Josh, thank you. That was good. Were going to be back in a moment. First this is today on nbc. Yes, it is. On nbc. On nbc, in case you forgot. Yes indeedy.
