Sources in mexico say the embassy advised trumps team against the visit. Clinton was invited also. A Campaign Official said she will do so at the appropriate time. Back to you. Well talk more about it. Thank you very much. Kellianne conway is Donald Trumps Campaign Manager. Good morning. Good to see you. This is a lastminute trip, isnt it . Maybe its been revealed publically last minute but mr. Trump was excited to accept the invitation from the president in mexico. He wants to establish a conversation with a neighboring country, a leader. And also to discuss the common problems and challenges that our country is facing. You are using diplomatic language, something donald trump hasnt done with mexico. I dont think there is much disagreement about that. Is he a guy that will go to the mexican president and use that same blunt language . 11 Million Immigrants are going back. Youre going to get a bill for the border wall. Or will he try a gentler approach. You will see a president ial donald trump at the meeting in mexico. We are happy the president invited him. Im sorry Hillary Clinton is not going. She keeps following the leader here. We are the leader. People are needed in louisiana, we are there. The president in mexico invites us, we accept the invitation. To have a productive conversation about immigration, trade policy and drugs. Later today in arizona donald trump will deliver an address on immigration. At the end of the speech are we going to know exactly what his policy on immigration is as it pertains to the 11 Million Immigrants in this country illegally . Yes, you will. Too often, matt, typical politicians tell you, hey, the sound bite now specifics at a time to be determined. Its president ial to go lay out the policies ahead of time. The campaign created its own confusion on the issue. At the end of the day are we going to hear the there will be a Deportation Force and those 11 Million People living illegally in this country now will have to leave before some of them have the chance to come back . You are going to hear many things from mr. Trump. One, no amnesty. Absolutely going to build the wall. Thats been the center of his campaign from day one. Hell repeal the executive orders president obama put in place. You want to work with congress. In fairness those are the positions that as far as anyone can tell he hasnt changed. In the primary he was as clear as day about it. Every single last illegal immigrant, whether criminal or not, if they are here illegally, they are going back. He did not mince words. Are we going to hear it today . Does he plan to round up and deport every last illegal immigrant starting on day one . You are going to hear how hes going to just 11 million and others as well including sanctuary cities. There is no reason angel moms like agnes, julie, no reason people should have to lose their children at the hand of an illegal immigrant murdering them. Hillary clinton is for that. Hes not. It couldnt be more clear. In terms of changing positions i have memorized 22 of them for Hillary Clinton. Keystone pipeline, you could ask her if she would talk to the press. We are happy with the strategy to be open with the press, to go over the border to mexico to meet with the president , go back to arizona to give an immigration speech. She was in the hamptons raising money. Since you are here, are we going to see a reversal of the policy . You will not see a reversal. If you look at his speech at the convention which is when you accept the republican nomination, you lay out the vision as president. He didnt talk about deportation. He makes it clear he hasnt changed his position in terms of enforcing law. Do you know what might happen if we enforced the immigration laws in this country . I dont. We never bothered. We have i. C. E. , law enforcement, other people that should be consulted and should be part of the spectrum of responsible actors here. Thats not happening in this administration. Mrs. Clinton made it clear she would flot follow that either. Well enforce the law. If you could get me a pass to be a fly on the wall in the meeting south of the border. That would be a good one. Thanks for joining us. More politics to talk about. Three high profile incumbents won the primaries on tuesday, each setting the stage for a general election showdown in november. In arizona, senator john mccain fought off the challenge from a Republican Tea Party activist winning the right to seek a sixth term. Senator marco rubio cruised to victory in florida after reversing a pledge that he wasnt going to seek reelection. In florida, representative Debbie Wasserman schultz beat back a challenger after she had to step down as chairperson of the Democratic National committee. A storm expected to become Tropical Storm hermine later today. A hurricane watch has been announced as the state braces for heavy rainfall. Major flooding and surging waves. Dylan is in for al with the latest on this. We have been waiting for the storm to develop into a Tropical Storm. It is still a depression and moving slowly. It is going to become a Tropical Storm, most likely later on today. Tropical depression 8, the one off North Carolina, is moving out to sea. Thats no longer going to be an issue. Here are the hurricane watches right in the big bend of florida. This is the area we are looking at the strongest winds and also for the chance of a storm surge up to 3 to 6 feet above high tide. That could lead to coastal flooding. In addition, we are seeing heavy rain move through tampa. The storm will take the turn. The track shifted a little farther to the north. It includes charleston, south carolina, by saturday. They could see Tropical Storm conditions with as much as five inches of rain. It is this area in pink here. Thats where we could end up seeing as much as 10 to 15 inches of rain. Thats going to be the reason we could see massive flooding. We want to point out two storms in the pacific. We have madeline which is weakening and lester which is a category four storm. Madeline stays to the south of hawaii while lester stays to the north. We could see 10 to 15 inches of rain in hawaii. I remember when it was tropical depression 99l. It was upgraded to depression. Thanks, dylan. Now to a Major Development in the fight against isis. The terror groups number two in command has been reportedly been killed following an air strike in syria. Lets go to richard engel, hes got the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. The u. S. Has been tracking this man for many years. In fact, he spent years in u. S. Custody in iraq until he was released. Hes one of the founding members of isis, but as of now its unclear that he really died. Hes one of the worlds most wanted terrorists with many titles. Isis recruiter, spokesman, second in command, syrian born abu muhammad aladnani. Hes best known for lone wolf attacks in the west, an appeal directly linked to the spike in isis attack this is summer in turkey, across europe and the orlando nightclub massacre. The pentagon called aladnani the principal architect of isils external operations adding his removal from the battlefield would mark another significant blow to isil. But is he dead . The media arm says he was killed while supervising military operations against aleppo. U. S. Officials confirm aladnani with the 5 million american bounty on him was targeted yesterday. U. S. Officials are not confirming that he was killed. Isis could certainly replace aladnani but losing such a key figure, the organizations public voice, would be a setback. Thank you. Here at home with the election 68 days away a top secret u. S. Intelligence group is looking into russias alleged electionrelated hacking. Nbc news justice correspondent Pete Williams joins us with more on that. Pete, what can you tell us about the group and dont say they are top secret. Its a group with a name out of the cold war. The foreign denial and deception committee. One of the positions is to track and analyze these recent russian cyber attacks. U. S. Officials say the russians did try and fail to get into arizonas on line Voter Registration system. Then successfully penetrated a similar system in illinois and copied a small fraction of the data but didnt appear to change it in any way. Elections are conducted by the states, not by the federal government. State Officials Say it would be much harder for the russians or any outsider, for that matter, to hack into the completely separate individual devices that count the actual votes. States, for example, that use optical scanners where you fill in the circles on the paper ballot and feed it to a scanner still have that as a backup. Security experts warn the touchscreen systems without a paper backup still in wide use are more vulnerable, especially to an insider hack, matt. The degree of nervousness if you could characterize it now in the Intelligence Community would be what, pete . Reporter the degree is high they are trying to influence confidence. I would say low that they are trying to manipulate results. Intelligence Officials Say, for example, they doubt the russians are trying to help the Trump Campaign though Congressional Democrats asked the fbi this week to look at it. The current thinking is even if the Russian Hackers cant manipulate the actual vote their goal appears to be a broader one to under mine confidence in the election system. Pete williams in washington. Thank you. Outrage is growing on stanfords campus ahead of brock turners release from jail on friday. The former College Athlete was given what some consider a six month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. He served just three months of the sentence. Heres the latest. Reporter good morning. Come friday, brock turner will have served three months here in protective custody, half of a sentence that many found appalling considering the crime. It was a conviction and lenient sentence that stirred a national uproar. Former stanford swimmer brock turner set to be released friday from jail after serving just 90 days following three felony convictions for sexually assaulting an unconscious female. The victims letter of outrage to turner going viral, viewed nearly 18 million times. In it she said you cannot give me back the life i had before that night. Vice President Joe Biden weighing in with an emotional letter to the young woman writing, a lot of people failed you, i believe you. Its not your fault. All of this igniting a fire storm against Santa Clara Superior Court judge aaron persky who presided over the case. Nearly 1. 8 Million People signed a petition for him to be removed from the bench. He voluntarily stepped down from criminal court. Now will preside only over civil court trials. California state legislators made changes, recently passing a bill to the governor closing a loophole allowing for such short sentences. Under the law if the case was tried today turner would serve a minimum three years behind bars. Turner has been banned from ever setting foot on campus again but left an indelible mark on stanford university. This case shows if you commit Sexual Assault to an unconscious woman on the stanford campus in california that you spend a summer internship in jail. Reporter turner is expected to be released from jail here any time after midnight on friday. Sources here tell us he will receive no special treatment. We know he will have to report to probation for three years which means frequent drug tests and no alcohol. He will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Permission to fly directly to havana could come later this year. When you consider that the relations between our countries are once so tense that the u. S.

Robert chambers pled guilty to killing Jennifer Levin in central park. We spoke with levins mother who is determined to keep her daughters memory alive. Kerry sanders has the story. Reporter 30 years after a loved ones death, for a mom the grief never fades. It is all in the eyes. You can see this very amazing soul. This was taken right before she was killed. Reporter it was august 26, 1986. 18yearold Jennifer Levin had gone to new yorks central park with someone she thought was a friend, 19yearold Robert Chambers. It took years for the preppy killers lies and fabrications to unravel, but that former altar boy with the good looks eventually would be unm mamaske a thief, drug user and, yes, a killer. Jennifer was robbed from me. She would be 48 years old and most likely i would have had grandchildren to adore. Reporter today, jennifers mother ellen levin lives a quiet life in upstate new york. Shes never not in my thoughts. Reporter life in the mountains is a sharp contrast to the sensational headlines three decades ago. Falsehoods fuelled by a savvy defense team and chambers himself. She molested me in the park. Reporter he claimed jennifer wanted rough sex and things accidentally turned violent. When i saw how she was being portrayed, how it suddenly became her fault reporter playing the victim. It was blatantly playing the victim. The whole thing started here. Reporter now retired nypd lead detective michael sheehan. You find the body, do the steps and it leads to the killer who confesses. End of story. Reporter it didnt end there. It went on more than two years. Not guilty, 84. Reporter the jury deadlocked. I can imagine there was someone on the jury who thought he was a clean cut young man who would never do anything like this. Reporter too goodlooking, they said. Yeah. Reporter you heard that and think even today i think the juries dont work all the time. Reporter in the end, prosecutors struck a plea deal with chambers attorneys where he pled guilty to manslaughter. The retired head of the manhattan d. A. Sex crimes unit prosecuted the case. The jury was split. There were at least two people who bought the accident theory. The fact that the jury didnt decide it after the detectives and i had given them everything we could, that was a huge disappointment for me. Reporter fairstein, now a best selling author of crime fiction said levin fought for her life and his behavior afterwards was telling. He sat on the wall behind the metropolitan museum, watched as her body was found and taken away from the park in a body bag and never went over to the police and said this is my friend, this was an accident, i know who she is. Completely sociopathic. Reporter did you ever get an apology . No. Reporter do you want one . No. Reporter whatever he would say i wouldnt believe anything he said. As far as im concerned he doesnt exist for me. Reporter for a decade after jennifers death ellen fought for victims rights. Among her successes a rape shield law on the books in new york and the right for victims to speak in court and at parole hearings. Robert chambers who declined our request for an interview served every day of the 15year sentence for killing Jennifer Levin. Nearly five years after his release he was back in prison serving 19 years for felony drug charges where he remains today. What do you make of the one sentence followed by a longer sentence . I thought it was outrageous that he got more time for selling drugs than he did for killing jennifer. Its pretty outrageous. Reporter for today, kerry sanders, nbc news in upstate new york.

For today, Miguel Almaguer, nbc news. Wow. I like what he said. Youre right. You would hope somebody would do that for you. Yeah. If you were in that situation. Good for them. They did a great job.

Say you sit down on a plane, a bus, train, whatever. You sit next to someone wearing headphones. What do you do . Nothing. You do not speak to them. Let them talk. Universal sign of dont talk to that person. Right . I would agree. Thats why an article im about to show you rubbed people the wrong way titled how to talk to a woman who is wearing headphones. People on social media are angry with the author, a relationship expert. His message, shes not avoiding interaction. She just needs a nudge. Thats all. The article offers advice to get women to remove those headphones. I dont know about what. I was on a plane in new zealand talking to a woman and the Flight Attendant came to ask me if i wanted water. Just in the 30 seconds where i asked the woman for water, i looked back and she had her headphones on. Like she just put it right on. One compelling story you were telling there. Not a compliment.

Thank you. You got it. Your pop start. Go to our Facebook Page for more. Okay. Dylan has a check of the weather. Announcer todays weather is brought to you by dove hair. Perfectly nourished hair plus more. All right. Lets get into more detail on the tropical system in the gulf of mexico. It is not a Tropical Storm yet. But it should eventually become one, perhaps even a strong Tropical Storm before it makes landfall some point thursday into thursday night in northern florida. It could affect charleston, south carolina, as we go into the weekend as well. Take a look at the rip current threat this extends from nantucket down to southern florida and that is because this storm is going to ride along the east coast. Keep in mind that the rip currents will be dangerous, even if the sun is shining. We have a dangerous flood risk especially just north of tampa into that big bend of florida. Not only because we can see 10 to 15 inches of rain but we have the potential of a storm surge of up to three to six feet above high tide. Again thats thursday night. That could lead to coastal out the window, south bay feels more like spring perhaps, temperatures in the 60s. Maybe a bit more like fall around the north bay. Low 50s earlier. And for the afternoon around livermore, high today climbing into the mid80s. Pretty pleasant finish to your afternoon, with temperatures in the low 80s around san jose, upper 60s San Francisco. North bay, numbers in the 80s. 70 closer to oakland. 82 in fremont. Dublin, 84. Walnut creek, 87 this afternoon. And thats your latest forecast. Matt . All right. Thank you very much. Day three of the series cost cutting today. We have tackled everyday bills. This morning were talking about medical expenses with Health Care Costs and prescriptions on the rise, never too soon to prepare for the future. Back this morning to talk us through it all is today financial editor jean chatzky. Good morning. I was looking at some of the numbers last night and the research, the cost of Health Care Even if you dont have a Major Medical emergency, staggering. They are. The problem with health care is people dont look at it like shopping for a car. It hasnt been so transparent. Thats changing. We have tips. You have some statistics that are alarming. Only 34 of people know their Health Care Costs. Or what they think they will be for the coming year according to the consumerism Health Care Index from allegiance. Only 23 save for future health care and this one gets me. About a quarter of people didnt fill a prescription because of the cost. This gets expensive because you get sicker. When you come here you almost always tell people they need to make educated choices. Talk about ways we can do that. Okay. This is the biggie. If you can put pretax dollars into a flexible spending account or a Health Savings account you shave a third of the cost off your medical care, there goes my hand, and it can be used for pretty much anything, not just prescriptions, but doctor visits and almost everything except for overthecounter prescriptions. Can you explain the difference between these two . Sure. A flexible spending account, you put money in and have to use it but a certain date offered by your employer. A Health Savings account is something anybody qualifies for if they have a High Deductible Health insurance policy. But any silver or bronze policy on the exchange will get you in. Just like if you are going to shop for a car or appliance, do some comparison shopping. 17 of people. Only 17 shop around for prescriptions. Thats a huge mistake. Because the prices can vary by 100 , 200 for the same drugs, particularly buying out of pocket. Good rx is an online tool that will help you figure out what is a fair price for the drugs. You talked about the price and how they vary for drugs and medications. Go to procedures. This is where it gets alarming. Up to a 500 difference in a procedure cost. Right. If you want to know what a procedure should cost in your i area the resource is something called the Health Care Bluebook like the car bluebook that exists online and then, if you get medical bills and you feel like you need help lowering the costs, copatient. Com is a service that will tell you what the fair price is for the procedures youve had and if you cant do it yourself they will negotiate it for you and take 35 of the money that they save you. This is one of the discount type use a Discount Program . So Discount Programs are for prescriptions. These are widespread. These are all companies that have essentially negotiated with the Drug Companies because they buy a lot of drugs overall. So you get yourself aligned with one of the programs, scriptrelief, search rx. I think nbc did a story on that. A great piece. But you want to get into one of these particularly if you dont have a prescription plan. And dont be afraid to ask your doctor for a less expensive alternative to treatment. Right. Generics. You say to your doctor standing in the office, i cant afford this medication or if you get to the pharmacy you ask the pharmacist, pharmacists are fantastic resources. But if you truly cant afford them, the Prescription Partnership for prescription assistance, is an organization you should get in touch with. Tell them the medication you need, if you have benefits and they will help you figure it out. Also shop at costco and online pharmacies. But make sure that any Online Pharmacy you work with is based in the u. S. And has a sign op its website that its a verified internet farm. I thats very important. Jeanne, as always thank you very much. Let us head outside to carson, savannah and a very special guest. Thank you, matt. Our special guest this morning, olympic champion simone manuel. In rio simone won gold in the 100 meter freestyle and a place in the history books as the first africanamerican woman ever to win an individual gold in swimming. She was also part of a superstar 4 x 100 Medley Relay Team that gave the team the 1,000th olympic gold medal of all time. Good morning. Good to see you. How many times have you had the experience where i said, can i touch it . Too many times. Too many. I know. Your neck had to get stronger because these are heavy, this hardware. Yeah. About 1. 1 pounds each. I have about 4. 4 pounds on my neck. Lets put that photo up. I got chills thinking about it. When you realized and looked back at the clock, realized you won. You were the first individual gold medal africanamerican woman. I mean, tell me about what moment, what was going on in your mind. I think there was just a lot of relief to see my hard work pay off and see number one by my name is a really exciting. I was kind of relieved. Just to be the first africanamerican woman to do that is humbling that i could be the person to make history. Im hoping to inspire people to get into the sport because swimming is a water saving skill. I love it. Want to hear something great, she gation to go back to stanford, for her junior year. Do you know who else joins her on the swim team . Katie ledecky. Youre a junior . Yes. And katie will be a freshman. Yes. You will be unstoppable. Hope so, yeah. We were talking before and saying are you going to bring your medals to school . They are heavy. Yes. But your friends will want to see. Yes. Im hoping to bring one. I think i have to convince my dad. Hes protective of them. I would like to bring one just for a while. The good news, crime in palo alto is pretty low. You should be okay. Her smile has not faded even since we saw her in rio the morning after the great win. Thank you. Congratulations. So proud. Thank you. Coming up, we are going to get a taste of summer from our garden on the go, courtesy of carsons better half, ms. Siri daly is here. Well check in after your local news and weather. Good morning. 8 26. Im sam brock. San jose state students warned about two recent flashing incidents targeting women on campus that are believed to have been carried out by two separate men. Both of them happened this week, the first on monday inside a classroom in mcqueary hall. The second yesterday on a first floor hallway inside of uchita hall. In both cases, the men took off afterwards. The descriptions are different enough to believe they are looking for two different men. So far no arrests have been made. Mike has been looking at your roads this morning. Youre watching an accident on the south bay. Two crashes, a number of crashes. Slow overall. Tough commute now. Really kicking in. Eastbound 237 recovered. A crash back up towards sunnyvale and 237 at 101. More relief, lighter flow through the trivalley. 880 slow both directions off 238. Toward the san mateo bridge, earlier tied up, one lane blocked across the flat. Tougher drive. Maybe use the dumbarton bridge as an alternate. Bay bridge, no problem except for right here, west 580 at 13th. Mike, thank you very much. That will do it for us right now. Well see you again in 30 minutes. Come on. Dogs just wont quit. Neither does new frontline gold. Its triple action formula is relentless at killing fleas and ticks for a full 30 days. Good boy go for the gold. We are back. It is 8 30, the 31st day of august. Yes, the last day of august. Tomorrow is september. Begins. We have the Labor Day Weekend. Sad about that. We saw it all summer long, but summer is over. It is. But we are going to have one last hurrah. Alicia keys on the plaza this friday, our final summer concert and we cannot wait for that. All right. Still ahead this morning we have handy Diy Organization ideas. These will help your kids rule at school this year. And class is in session for us, too, as we turn the plaza into a science lab, testing our knowledge or lack thereof. You want to stand back for this. Nd and my better half siri daly is here as the garden on the go keeps on trucking. Shes making Roasted Veggie tacos with a strawberry salsa. Have you tried them at home . They are brand new. Brand new. Lets get a check on the weather. Its humid. Yes. Very, very muggy in the northeast. That will change as that cold front moves east ward tonight into tomorrow. It could trigger scattered storms across western new york to Northern New England and were looking at a chance of heavier rain through kansas into oklahoma and texas, too. Its really florida that were focusing on as that tropical system gets closer most likely becoming a Tropical Storm at some point either today or early tomorrow. It is producing already some heavy downpours that has led to flooding and we could see just north of tampa up to 10 to 15 inches of rain and then this storm system will extend into charleston, south carolina. We could see gusty winds and isolated tornadoes and a pretty big storm surge too. Back behind the cold front to the north, temperatures dropping off into the 70s. Low humidity will feel nice and we will continue to se right now, still seeing Cool Temperatures around the north bay, mid50s and low 60s around the south bay. Hour by hour forecast, school out in ever green, numbers reaching the low 80s. Temperatures in the south bay, upper 60s closer to San Francisco. 70s around the peninsula. Temperatures in the mid80s for today. Sevenday outlook, including Labor Day Weekend, turning warmer next week. Valley temperatures approaching 90 by labor day monday and tuesday of next week. Thats your latest forecast. Savannah . Announcer design your life on today is sponsored by the 2017 ford fusion, the beauty of a well made choice. All right, dylan. Thanks. This morning on design your life, keeping your kids organized as they head back to school can be a challenge. Today contributor elizabeth is up to that challenge and has creative and simple diy solutions. Hi, good morning. Good morning. You have awesome helpers we will meet as we go along here. Organization is super important. One is in college, one is in high school, time management, finding what they need when they need it, all are so important and these are fun ideas that if they make them and get involved they will be more apt to use them. Yeah. These dont cost a lot of money. If the kids dont have anything to do in the few days leading up to school here are the projects. Here we go. We have the lovely ady here. What are we making . I took cereal boxes, paper towel holders and toy let paper holders and covered in fun duct tape. We can make a desk organizer. Cute. Started with a wood placard you can get at a craft store, painted it and cover the boxes in duct tape. I like that because its sturdy and durable. And then all you do is glue gun once she finishes those things if this were covered, i glue gun it down and make a desk organizer. It was great with the pencil and pen. Where do you get this . Any craft store. Theres millions of different theres camo, fun graphics, florals. So the kid can customize it in his and her colors and load it with your desk supplies and hopefully they will use them. When they do their homework. Seems like ady has it going. And all she does is continue doing that and glue them down and shes good. Put your pencils in there. Thank you. We have jackson over here. Jackson, buddy, doufl what i showed you, do a little weaving here. This is a pencil case. I think this is a great gift to give to your teacher on the first day of school. It is the easiest thing in the world. All you have to do is just take a piece of felt. These are precut you can get at the craft store. You just cut about six slits. You start about three or so inches from the side. You dont want to go straight through. You weave in and out of the strips. Thats all i do. Its a pencil holder. So cute. There is no sewing. Just basically cutting involved. I did put a ribbon closure on it which i tacked down with thread. That way so yeah, you keep doing that. I will show savannah when you go to finish it, you just roll it up. Cute. As so. And then give it a tie and its good to go. Its like a nice little present or put it in your back pack. Sweet. Do pens or paint brushes or who knows. Whatever you want. Felt easy to work with because you cut it. Good job, jackson. Hes weaving away. We will leave you too it. Finally grace, what you got going on . This is i have to say a knife block. Starting with a knife block. I found this through a blogger called thrift diving. Com. I want to give her credit. Basically you just cover the top. I used contact paper. Just take a drill and you drill holes, okay. Those holes will be perfect for a crayon to fit in. So just pull this off. Do the holes where the knife slots are already. Theyre much easier. And mom and dad do the drilling. Mom and dad do the drilling. There are certain you would probably be able to drill fine. All you do is paint it. And then use washy tape, an easy to use japanese tape that allows you to cover the different holes so you dont see the slats. Then just buy these little electrical clips. Here you can see, i made two little holes which im just going to take and screw that on and if you can see on the finished product you can put scissors, paint brushes, whatever it is. It is a great crayon craft station. Yeah. Also good for younger kids. An older sister can do it for a younger sister. I love that. Last but not least. Last but not least getting dressed in the morning that can be so stressful for moms yelling at the kids. What i did is i just took some cardboard and i went ahead and ordered from a Company Called sticker you. Com. I ordered cd stickers. You can do several on a page. Thats clever yeah. Then just its kind of like when you go to the store and kids know this is what im wearing monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. Then by the weekend you throw a bunch in there. And icons for kids so they are easy to get. Again, sticker you. Com go and put your icons on and those iron on to any canvas box. So cute. Can you bring these to my closet. These are yours. Im taking them. So cute. Thank you so much. Great ideas. And coming up next, here is a definite kids dont try this at home moment. We are going up in smoke with some mad science experiments on our plaza. First this is today on nbc. Every day, the Oil Companies pollute our air. Putting their. Profits ahead of our kids health. Now theyre trying to weaken californias clean air laws. Im tom steyer. Weve had a million kids get asthma. We need to send the Oil Companies a message. Tell your legislator to stand up to the Oil Companies and protect our clean air laws. Dont let the Oil Companies put their profits. Ahead of our kids. Welcome back to our lab. We are gearing up here.

Naturally you would think you can only do that with magic. Today wellen doing it with science. Or jesus. This is a nonnewtonian liquid. It is a solid and a liquid at the same time. If you apply pressure to it, it would be a solid. If you let it go, its a liquid. Can you run across this . Smack it, hold it. Touch it. There is no way you are going to be on top of this. It looks like a liquid. You can grab it. I will say, no, i dont think you can walk across it. Hold my hand. Im sinking. You have to move. You were on top of it. I can go backwards. Do the monwalk. Thats pretty cool. Show us your dance moves in there. What does that feel like . I feel like im going to stuck, like quick sand or something. There you go. All right. You made it. All right, nick, whats the second question . Okay. The second one is, can water protect you from a fireball . This one is pretty dicey. We all signed a release. Were with child. We want to make sure you dont burn your hair off. Okay . Oh, man. Oh, come on. Okay. Well in this balloon is methane. Hold it like a bag pipe. One under the arm like this. Okay. There you go. Good luck, matt, we love you. Are you right handed or left handed . Take off the left glove. Take it off you said gloves were important. If youre lefthanded we want to make sure you can use it later in life for whatever. Okay. Push this off so we get a stream there. Put this down into the liquid and make bubbles with your arm go ahead and squeeze it. Take your hand out. See what im doing right there . Were going to be making bubbles. They will be pouring out. Theyll continue making bubbles. Pull your hand out more. All right. There you go. We want it to look like this, before they blow away. Make more bubbles. Now with this hand over here, put it down here. Take this hand and put it this better be good. Well push this back so we dont burn your entire hand here. There you go. Thats pretty good. Go ahead and scoop some of the bubbles in your hand just like this right here. What will happen . Oh, my god. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That was cool. My gosh. Did you feel that . Did it feel hot . Can you do that to your mouth . This is on fire. One is hydroden peroxide and one is iodide. Well mix them quickly and back away very quickly. You dump this in there . This looks like chardonnay. I would not drink that. This is you. Okay. Carson, youll be on this one. Dump it in and back away. Back away, buck away. Whoa thats awesome. That is awesome. This is a fireball. Amazing. That was cool. That was amazing. Should we tell people, do not do this at home. The hydroden peroxide is 35 . Thats seven times more of the reactant dont do it at home. Why didnt we end with that one . Theres one more. Who do we need here . Carson and me, i think. We have liquid nitrogen, ten liters. Its negative 321 degrees below freezing. We have a bucket of hot water. Were going to mix the two. What can go wrong . Do we need this . Youll need that and a blast shield over there. Now were getting somewhere. Do we have the blast shield, please . What happens, this water mixes with the liquid nitrogen, you have a reaction. It instantly condenses into a cloud. Youll say that will be more impactful . Were scientists. Well use a scientific method. Do we need a shield . You should be pretty good. Maybe further back. We should all be like this. Youre taller than i am. I want you to bring it up over your head and down in here. Can i just say something, whats fun to look at . Siri is over there going, go ahead. Okay. Dump it all in or pourit . Dump it in there. Ready . Im going to back up. Oh, my gosh. Maker is you get it all in there at the same time. Whoa oh, my god, thats so cool. That is awesome cool. That is awesome it doesnt even matter what the science is. Its just plain fun. Seriously, please do not try any of this at home. Nick knows what hes doing. Up next, siri daly is here.

Ever since our mobile offshoot of the white house Kitchen Garden arrived on the plaza we have been harvesting fresh ingredients for summer meals. Today siri daly of siriously delicious. Com joins us. Do you know what she said to me . Well, now this is going to be boring. I feel like i can throw vegetables in the air. Look at carson. Hes still wearing it. Its my wifing cooking. You never know. Well make meatless tacos. Exactly. Roasting eggplant, bell pepper and zucchini. Then a strawberry and tomato salsa. Where do we start . We have olive oil, garlic and cumin, salt and pepper to marinate the vegetables. Thats it. Just whisk that up. Were you at all ner vus when the explosion happened . It was amazing. He can handle it. We are going to toss that all over the veggies and roast them in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. You could grill them if you wanted. You want them softer and easier to digest. This is how we slice up the eggplant. Very simple. Cube it like this. I make carson do the spaghetti squash at home. He loves eggplant. Its not his favorite. I prefer steak when possible. See how simple it is . Yep. Those are the veggies. Now the strawberry and tomato salsa. The strawberries give it a nice sweet tang. They look good. We have tomatoes, strawberries, red onion, jalapeno and cilantro. Okay. Thats fresh lime juice and olive oil. Perfect. You can season it to taste with salt and pepper. Thats it . Thats all thats in there . Thats it. My kids could do that. Simple. Do you use the soft shells or hard . We like the soft. You can do either. Grilling them is key. It gives it a nice smoky flavor. Little olive oil on there . Little olive oil. A couple minutes per side and then we can build the tacos. We have cotija cheese. Does carson make dagwood tacos . He probably put steak in there, too. Actually the fresh stuff on the garden to go brought a freshness to the meals thats noticeable. Do you think my kids will miss the meat . I dont think so. Especially when you get carsons going, i dont know. Yeah. You could add chicken. Or mushrooms, protein. Go ahead. A little of anything i want . Exactly. This is the bell pepper, zucchini and eggplant. The salsa is great for chicken, fish if you want to add meat. On the side with guacamole. What do you think . Delicious. Its great. If you couldnt find the cotija cheese could you use feta . You could, or queso fresco. And meat. Can we do the recipe completely different . Optional. The viewers choose.

Chris brown is out on bail facing charges of assault with a Deadly Weapon after a standoff with police yesterday. Before we get into the back story chris posted this on instagram. Im not sure it helped. He was Taunting Police a little bit, boasting about his career. Take a look at it. Its down now. At the same time when i call the police for stalker people that are endangering my life they dont come until the next day. Let somebody [ bleep ] allegations about me saying oh, yeah, the whole [ beeping ] swat team. [ beeping ]. Im tired of [ beeping ] so the back story. Police received a 911 phone call. 3 00 in the morning. A woman claiming that brown had pointed a gun at her. Shes claiming that she was looking at some Diamond Jewelry that was on display in his house. Like in the wee hours of the morning, were doing a jewelry sale . The woman has also changed her instagram now. The bio reads former miss california, yes, chris threatened me. Shes changed her actual name. Her real name is Baylee Curran. He was better off not putting the video out. In my opinion it looks like he was impaired a little bit. It was the wee hours. They have since been taken down. Whats in its place is countrys attorney who tweeted, thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes. Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are false. Then team breezy. Got to love an attorney with the current hashtags. You go, mark. This young lady had been accused in the past of an incident involving possible theft. Thats why he should leave it alone. There is shadiness, period, going on in the home that night. The thing about chris brown thats fascinating, we met him earlier in his career and saw him even after the Domestic Violence involving rihanna, there were people including myself and you know my background with my sister and my work with Domestic Violence survivors who believe this was a chance to own what he did, try to do better. It seems like even when hes not breaking the law hes surrounding himself with turmoil that he can bring himself up from. His first appearance on the today show he was with his mom. Adorable. He was young and was this amazingly talented guy. The next appearance there were a lot of guys on set. The hangers on were around him. I dont know. Underneath it all, the fact that after 2009 and that rihanna incident he got a Second Chance. People had good will for him. He got a Second Chance because of the amazing talent. Since then there is alleged domestic got to watch who you hang out with, man. If he didnt post the video he might have been fine. That video didnt help, i dont think. Blac chyna. A little update. Another day, another magazine. This time shes talking to elle. Com about her relationship with rob and the plans they have for their child. The baby will not be given a k name according to blac chyna saying she and rob agree on that. Should be kourtney. Or kris. Honor the woman who masterfully, like them or not, made the kardashians who ethey are. You can think what you want. You always let us know and we appreciate your thoughts and comments but kris jenner has been masterful at managing this brand. Shes now brought in Angela Kardashian which is what blac chynas name will be. I think its perfect, paying tribute and heir to the dynasty. I love it. Rob is talking about his weight. No one wants to be heavy. He said i didnt go to kims wedding because i was 61, putting on my tux and looking at myself. Im 300 pounds. Therefore photographers all over. I didnt want to go through it. He went into two years of silence after that. He told this to People Magazine. I like rob. I hope its real. We said if this was a Strategic Plan by blac chyna to get back still amazing. But when you read the article you see and understand what he must be going through. He has the most dominant females surrounding him. They are business up and down. They are paparazzi up and down. Hes kind of the outlier. He had a sock company. People mocked that. Hes never had an identity. To be in the presence of these strong women, he got lost in there he didnt ride that dancing with the stars. He was great. Very lightfooted. I didnt watch it. On the kardashian front though, 30 days kim is in town, in new york at vmas, fashion week, whatever else. If you were worried she had to shack up in a hotel. They have an apartment not far from where i live. Then whats she doing in a 30 million air bnb for free . Ill tell you. Shes bragging about it. Take a look. You guys, air bnb hooked us up.

Here you are working on this epic tour and focused on opening a school in harlem. Yes. Why was it something you needed to get done now . Im from harlem. Its a dream to come home and open a school. I had that vision. I knew i was able to achieve to the heights i was able to achieve because i start d out and had a very good education. I think we just take it for granted and also we are not dealing with the issues that we are not properly educating our children in the city. Instead of complaining about it, i wanted to do something. I opened up my own school. Im going to lead by example and make the change that way. You opened up the school, the vmas the other night. Yeah. The school is called capital prep harlem. 6th and 7th now. Overall goal is 12 . To 12 and i want to expand the schools into different cities and countries. You open up the vmas the other night. First of all, did drake get his moonman . You have it. I was about to go out they said hes stuck in traffic. He got it. I left it there for him. You know it was confusing for the person not to be there. But we handled it well. Traffic. You have a helicopter available. Youre the man of new york. I have a couple of moonmen but sometimes you get caught in traffic and you miss out. That was beyonces night. Was it not . Yes. That was the performance of the night. Rihanna had nice ones but she stole the vmas. Beyonces performance was incredible. Rihanna, it was just i think they shared the night to be honest. They performed so many times, had great performances. When beyonce hits the stage. For 16 minutes. What happened . Lights out. Speaking of lights out, kanye, the light is always on.
