Life in lockup. A revealing new look at what o. J. Simpsons life is like now behind bars. How he spends his day, including coaching other inmates. And why wasnt simpson allowed to watch the tv series about his murder case. And miley mania. Miley cyrus grew up before our eyes and became one of the biggest stars of movies, music and tv. We cant stop we wont stop now shes taking her talents to the voice. I want you on my team so bad. But not before she makes a live stop right here in our studio today, friday, september 16th, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody, welcome to today. 7 00 a. M. On the west coast on friday. Its going to be a busy morning in politics. Hillary clinton talking right now as this birther issue, as its known, as just come to life again. Shes already called for donald trump to apologize to the president and the American People for what she says perpetuating this lie on the question of where she was born. Any moment we expect donald trump to address this issue. We begin with the battle for the white house. The election now, just 53 days away. This is the state of the race, trump says hes going to talk about this birther controversy at an event scheduled for this morning in washington, d. C. , thats set to begin any minute, then he heads to campaign in miami later this afternoon. As we said, Hillary Clinton campaigning in the nations capital, speaking at the black womens symposium and First Lady Michelle Obama will be on the trail for clinton today, attending an event in virginia. According to a new fox news poll, trump is now leading among likely voters nationwide, a onepoint advantage, 46 to 45. As we mention, a lot to get to with our decision 2016 team and well start with nbc National Correspondent peter alexander. Peter, good morning to you. Good morning. Donald trump, the brash showman, trying to build the drama up this morning, promising that big announcement at his Campaign Event that begins really right now, fittingly held at his brand new washington, d. C. , hotel on the week of its opening. Still whats unclear is whether he will publicly say that he believes president obama was born in the u. S. Trump this morning saying he wants to, quote, keep the suspense going after repeatedly refusing to repudiate his own birther beliefs. With donald trump fanning the flames of the Birther Movement for years, his campaign overnight trying to put out the fire. The trump team issuing a reversal saying, mr. Trump believes president obama was born in the United States. The statement also crediting trump for a, Great Service to the president and the country by getting president obama to release his birth certificate and falsely accusing Hillary Clintons 2008 campaign of first raising the issue. Notably the statement comes from the campaign, not from trump himself, who in a Washington Post interview 24 hours earlier refused to say president obama was born in the u. S. Ill answer that question at the right time, he said, i just dont want to answer it yet. With the race tightening, trumps trying to seal his biggest deal yet. You better make sure i win on november 8th, because im going to have wasted a hell of a lot of time, energy, and money. Reporter even as trump touts new momentum, a new poll shows 61 of likely voters believe the insurgent outsider is not qualified to be president , but a majority say trump is more transparent than his democratic rival. Thursday night in New Hampshire the billionaire ditching reporters, arriving before the press plane. They alled us and said could you wait, i said absolutely not, lets get going. Reporter the businessman promising to create 25 million jobs but offering few specifics. Late thursday trump also standing up for his adult children. Boy, the press likes to hit them, and they are such good kids, but they can take it. Reporter hours after donald jr. Came under fire for these comments he made about clinton. The media has built her up, theyve let her slide on every indiscrepancy, every slide, every dnc game trying to get R Bernie Sanders out of that. Reporter trivialization of the holocaust and gas chambers is never okay. Don jr. Tells nbc news the remark was not antisemitic, insisting he was refgt capital punishment. Again, we want to show you live pictures right now, where donald trump will be delivering those remarks. Its being touted as a veterans event, but all the focus will be on what he says about this birther issue, taking place notably at his new hotel, blocks away from the white house. The white house, for its part, is declining to address the Trump Campaigns birther statement. This has been viewed as a racially charged insinuation and in the new interview trump boasted support among africanamerican voters is coming up, quote, like a rocket ship, he says. In fact, he still polls at 6 with africanamericans, exactly what mitt romney got four years ago. Willie and savannah . Peter alexander watching events as they unfold in washington, thank you. Hillary clinton was quick to hammer trump over the birther issue last night, as well. Shes already had more to say this morning. Nbcs Kristen Welker is in washington. Kristen, good morning. Reporter willie, good morning. Theres more sharp rhetoric as secretary clinton addresses the black womens agenda symposium here in washington, d. C. Shes trying to rebound from lagging poll numbers and wasting no time on pouncing on Donald Trumps latest controversy. Hillary clinton back on the trail at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus gala. He did it again. Reporter and taking aim at donald trump for again refusing to say president obama was born in the United States. He still wouldnt say america. When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry . Reporter and Clintons Campaign lashing out after the Trump Campaign released a statement trying to walk back trumps comments. Clintons spokesperson tweeting out overnight, trump needs to say it himself on camera and admit he was wrong for trying to de de le jit miez the countrys first africanamerican president. A message that sends a message that even he can hear. Reporter clinton also poked fun at one of his top surrogates. If you dont do something about it, youre going to have taco trucks on every corner. I personally think a taco truck on every corner sounds absolutely delicious. Reporter her opening act thursday, president obama, who also had harsh words for the gop nominee. Weve seen this kind of ugliness and anger and vitriol before. We cant let that brand of politics win. Reporter clinton resetting her campaign thursday. Calling three days off the trail after being diagnosed with pneumonia. Even i had to admit that maybe a few days of rest would do me good. Reporter clinton also trying to reverse these damaging optics by touting her strength. Nobody ever accuses me of quitting, and i will never give up. Reporter and president bill clinton giving her an assist, defending secretary clinton after she was criticized for calling half of trumps supporters deplorable. Hi, guys reporter a statement which Hillary Clinton retracted herself. She did what any grownup would do. You cannot be in a president ial campaign where you, your family, your friends, have been debased, demeaned, vilified, called crooked. Reporter secretary clintons also trying to calm jittery democrats who are concerned that the race is tightening, yesterday telling reporters she always expected this to be a close race. Once she leaves d. C. Shell head to new york for a fundraising event. On monday shell campaign in philadelphia and try to rally those allimportant millennial voters, some of whom are veering towards third party candidates. Willie, savannah . Hushed tones as secretary clinton speaks behind her there. Mark halperin, good morning to you. As recently as yesterday donald trump declined an opportunity to say i know the president was born in america, the birther issue is over for me, but then his campaign went out and said, yes, he believes hes an american citizen. Is it going to change between yesterdays interview and today . Did the interview wednesday night, published yesterday, and his Campaign Came out, his son came out, his Campaign Manager have all come out and said donald trump believes the president was born in the United States. Now its up to mr. Trump this morning, i think, to say the same thing. This is a position thats not sort of a side bar, as Hillary Clinton made clear this morning, this is central to how he got on the political map. The issue is, its not ancient history. I can think of a lot of different times during this Current Campaign when given the opportunity to say thats over, he kind of just dodges the issue, i dont talk about that anymore, or maybe ill write a book about it. He has been reluctant to just put an end to this. Tried to have almost a neutral position, but he cant erase the past. Hillary clinton made clear shes not going to let him. On friday night she talked about the basket of deplorables, which we all thought would be the dominant story of the week, then the clashes with pneumonia, and now this. This campaign is going to be built the next 50 days plus with these events. Maybe were not talking about this by sunday, but today this is the showdown, donald trump will come out and talk and then Hillary Clinton and her campaign will try to remind people whatever he says today that this is part of his willing si they wont let him forget. From Donald Trumps side, why go through this charade, why shine another light on this issue, something hed like to put behind him, you would think, even though hes had the record of saying what hes said. Why play it this way, have another press conference to talk about it again . His advisers have been trying to clear things like immigration that are issue positions which will hurt his chances to reach out to those married suburban voters that he needs to win this election, needs a greater support. Lets see how he handles it, but its a big moment. The polls really tightening in battleground states that are important, nationally, are democrats worried . She needs to win this now, this is nothing she can coast through. She has to fight to become president of the United States against an opponent thats narrowed the gap nationally. Florida, ohio, just to name a couple getting tighter every day. Thanks so much. Thank you. We have a Major Development this morning involving the Samsung Galaxy note 7 phones that can unexpectedly catch fire. The Consumer ProductSafety Commission is issuing a formal government recall saying the devices pose an immediate risk and should not be used. Tom costello with the latest on this this morning, tom, good morning. Hi, savannah, we cant even get our hands on one to demonstrate because theyve all been recalled, but a million phones involved in the recall, the government telling customers nationwide return the galaxy note 7s right away. Reporter for the biggest cell phone manufacturer. Just wanted to post this and share what just happened to my note 7. Reporter what began as a big black eye is now an official government recall. Roughly 1 million galaxy note 7s in the u. S. , 2. 5 million worldwide. Samsung says it has 92 reports of the phones overheating. Dozens of reports of fires. Including a garage that burned to the ground in south carolina. And a jeep that was charred and gutted in florida. Because this product presents such a serious fire hazard, i am urging all consumers, all consumers to take advantage of this recall right away. We apologize, especially to those of you who were personally affected by this. And we will work every day to earn back your trust. Reporter samsung blames the fires on a defect inside its lithium ion batteries which operate at a very high 4 volts. The root problem with lithium ion batteries is potentially a lot of energy is stored inside a tiny little device. Reporter samsung says the replacement phones arriving wednesday will come with new batteries made by a different supplier. Meanwhile, concern this morning about other samsung models that may also catch fire. In new york, a 6yearold suffered first degree burns when a samsung core allegedly caught fire. In florida tuesday night, a car gutted by fire after another galaxy phone allegedly exploded. Meanwhile, a california man has filed suit claiming he suffered second and third degree burns on his leg when his s7 edge caught fire. The cpsc says it is now looking into those reports as well. Samsung is declining to comment on those cases but tells me it really believes the defective batteries are limited only to the note 7, which is now under recall. Customers can either exchange their note 7s for a replacement phone or get a full refund. Savannah . I remember you reporting airlines started asking customers not to turn on the note 7s, dont charge it when youre on the plane. Does this change now with the official recall, do you expect the airlines to say dont bring them on at all . Yeah, we expect the faa is going to actually now ban the use of these note 7s onboard commercial planes. No longer a voluntary thing, and the fear is that a runaway fire involving lithium ion batteries is extremely dangerous, especially in a closed airline environment. All right, tom costello, thank you very much. Now to the frightening scene here in new york city on thursday. A man attacked an offduty Police Detective with a meat cleaver at the height of the evening rush hour. It happened near penn station at the height of the evening rush hour. Police say officers confronted the man when they saw him trying to remove a boot from a car he apparently was living in. This video was taken moments before police confronted the 32yearold. When they approached him, he pulled out an 11inch meat cleaver and ran. After a brief chase, the suspect hit one detective in the face with the cleaver. Three Police Officers opened fire wounding him. The detective who was hit with the cleaver is now listed in stable condition. Also this morning, the House Intelligence Committee is urging president obama not to pardon former nsa contractor edward snowden. A Committee Report accuses snowden of leaking information that caused tremendous damage to u. S. National security. The report says snowden is not a whistleblower as he claims. A bipartisan letter sent to the president says that snowdens claim that he disclosed information to protect americans is undercut by his actions. Snowdens attorney denounces that report and calls his client a genuine american hero. A School Bus Driver in new jersey is out of a job this morning after dramatic video surfaced showing the driver swerving across the yellow line into the wrong lane to get ahead of a slower moving fedex truck. The bus company said it fired the driver wednesday night after seeing the video. There were no students on board at the time. Fedex says it is looking into the incident, as well, and police are investigating. Scary to watch that. I guess the only comfort, there werent kids onboard at the time. We turn to dylan now in for al. Were looking at the west. Im no meteorologist youre right, absolutely right, its gorgeous on the west coast. Nothing but sunshine, temperatures have been in the 60s along the coast, 70s and 80s further inland.

It labels him as a disgruntled employee and says despite his selfportrayal as a whistleblower, most of the documents he stole had to do had nothing to do with american privacy. In a statement Donald TrumpsCampaign Says he believes president obama was in in fact born in the United States. The socalled birther controversy reignited earlier today because trump refused to answer a question about his stance on whether the president is an american. And during a speech last night, Hillary Clinton using that controversy to blast trump. This man wants to be our next president . When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry . Now to Todays Campaign moment. That honor today goes to jimmy fallon. Look what he did to donald trump during his appearance on the tonight show. Can i mess your hair up . [ laughter ] go ahead. Yes donald trump, everybody boy, thats a coup for jimmy. I know. He does not let people touch the hair. He patted it right back into place. Turning now to a new look at o. J. Simpsons life in prison as he nears the possibility of parole in the nottodistant future. Nbcs joe fryar has this one. F parole in the nottodistant future. Nbcs joe fryar has this one. Expect to hear o. J. Simpsons name a lot on sunday night. Simpson wont be there, hes still in prison but this morning we are getting a detailed look at his life behind bars. Inside nevadas correctional center, o. J. Simpson lives in a space similar to this, sharing a bunk bed, sink and toilet with his cell mate. He starts his day much like anyone else, rising at 6 30, eating a breakfast of cold cereal, a muffin and fruit, before heading to his work shift. Thats according to a story from the l. L. A. Times, what life i like behind bars are for o. J. Simpson based on interviews with former inmates, Prison Guards and longtime friends. Weve been told o. J. Is actively involved in the Softball Team in prison. He umpires. He does so the coaching. What he does not do is play softball because his knees are apparently in such bad shape after all these years in the nfl that they really are giving him a lot of problems. Reporter norm was simpsons manager. I think is he going to try to get himself into shape before he comes out. Hes not going to want to come out looking the way people want him to look. Reporter simpson was acquitted of murdering his exwife, nicole brown and her friend, ron goldman, in the 90s, he was convicted of Armed Robbery and kidnapping a decades later sentenced to at least nine years. Dont dont. Reporter interest in his life was heightens by the popular tv series, the people versus o. J. Simpson. It is up for two emmys. Including the man who played o. J. , cuba gooden jr. Reporter but fx is not an approved prison channel so simpson could wasnt the series. Nor did he see the acclaimed documentary, o. J. Made in america. Officials at the prison say it is not safe for inmates to see shows about a fellow inmate especially becauseyounger ones dont know his story. Hes not very happy. What thats done is put back the murders right as hes going up for parole. In everybodys mind it refreshed it. The former football star is eligible for parole next year when hes 70 years old. As for sundays emmys, prison officials have not confirmed if simpson will be able to watch the show, assuming he wants to. It is up to each prison to decide if a program should be blocked. Willie . The fascination with the o. J. Case continues more than 20 years on. Joe fryar, thanks so much. Turning to dylan for a check of the weather and the rest of your forecast. Well talk about the tropics for a little bit. We had Tropical Storm julia at one point off the coast of the carolinas. Thats still sitting there as the Tropical Storm but it is not doing much. It is not going to do much. It is just going to move eastward out to sea. But now we are keeping an eye on carl. This could develop into a category 1 hurricane by the time we get to next wednesday. You can see it is mostly staying out over the water but running into some very ideal conditions for strengthening. So we have to watch that as it continues to move westward. Certainly something well be keeping an eye on. Elsewhere across the country today, we will see a perfect day across the northeast, up into new england. Little bit chilly in the morning this morning, especially across northern new england. Temperatures down across the southeast in the 80s. Spotty showers and storms through florida, pockets of heavy rain down along the gulf coast but it is really this area through the midwest out ahead of this cold front where we could see some isolated stronger storms, especially chicago and st. Louis later on this afternoon. Nothing too severe expected but still keep an eye out for those storms. The west coast is absolutely starting to see a few breaks in the low clouds around the livermore camera there, also san jose. Mostly cloudy skies right now. Temperatures in the 50s, on our way to mid 80s later this afternoon around san jose. Upper 80s possible south of downtown. Upper 60s San Francisco. Mid 80s into the north bay and about 90 today for walnut creek. The weekend ahead looks like summer. San francisco, upper 70s. Cooler early next week. Are you ready for sunday night .

Well talk to miley in a minute. But lets turn to this mornings rossen reports. A new report from the fbi when it comes to computers, webcams and your privacy. Today correspondent jeff rossen is here. Very easy fix. If you are watching this at home right now you must think im in private in my bedroom, in my living room. But now look around. You will a laptop open . You have a computer around . Turns out hackers have gotten so good at taking control of our webcams remotely, even the fbi director himself is worried about his privacy. This morning, this simple and i do mean simple thing he is doing to stop it. And you can do it, too. Its as creepy as it gets. A stranger spying on you in your most private moments and you wouldnt even know it. In an instant, your computer webcam becomes a dangerous window into your life. In real time. Fbi director james comey making headlines today admitting hes just like the rest of us. You still have a piece of tape over your camera at home . Heck yeah. Heck, yeah. I think people ought to take responsibility for their own safety and security. There are sensible things you can be doing, and thats one of them. Reporter the threat is real. Countless victims, including the former miss teen usa, cassidy wolfe. A hacker spying on her inside her house. You would never think somebody would be watching you in your room and this guy had been. So the thought of that just was it gave me nightmares. How did you find out about this . I received an anonymous email from an anonymous person. It basically was extorting me and blackmailing me. I saw that he had attached nude photos of me that he had taken in my bedroom. Reporter the hacker was later arrested and sentenced to prison. It can happen to any of us. While the fbi director now says he puts tape over his webcam lens, most of us dont. To show you the danger, before his announcement we had set up an experiment using this new jersey family. With the dads permission, this stranger thousands of miles away broke in to their laptops and turned on their web cams. Spying as the family eats dinner. Spying on the teenage daughters upstairs. People who are victims generally have no idea that they are victims. Reporter luckily, that man is working with us. Computer expert jim stickley. He sent them this innocent looking e card with a virus. There is a little link in the card. Theyll see quacking ducks but in reality ive also loaded a trojan. Reporter giving him access to the webcam, even when the computer is in sleep mode. Have a seat. Reporter we told the mom and their daughters we came over to do a general story about online security. Ever any problems here . Anyone ever hack into your system at home . I dont think so. No. Reporter remember, they had no idea days before we had been spying on them through our computer webcam. Our interview over. We told the girls to go upstairs and wait in their room. Then downstairs we let mom in on the secret. We actually recorded your family dinner the other night. No one was in your house but for you guys. Its really creepy. I mean my children are on their computers in the evening in their bedrooms and im a little frightened right now. Reporter but watch what our expert does next. He hacks into the webcam in her daughters upstairs bedroom. Dont worry, our producer is there with them. Were watching them live right now inside their bedroom. Im sick over it actually. I really am. Very upsetting to see this. This time it was our security expert. Next time it could easily be a predator. I actually appreciate it. Im hoping i can learn from this and try to avoid this ever happening. So here is the takeaway. It is just so easy. You heard the fbi director say it. Here is my laptop. Just put a piece of tape right over the lens. I hadnt done it before. If it is not enough that im doing it or the fbi is doing it, the facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg does this, too. This is the way to do it. Thank you.

Hit the streets and see how busy americans react when faced with a pregnant woman in need. Pregnant actress olivia wilde shaming fellow subway riders. No big deal abled body riders who wont give up your seat to a giant preggo. Reactions ranged from the unsympathetic. I didnt tell you to get pregnant to supportive. Stand over their shoes and hope your water breaks. Here we are on the new york subway. And were going to find out whether people know how to behave around a pregnant woman. Good question. Well see how it all plays out. Reporter dylan had better luck than olivia wilde but it still takes five minutes for someone to offer up a seat. On our second ride, a man stands up within second. No, thats fine. Thank you. Just wanted to say, you have perfect manners. Thank you. Youre a good man. No problem. But what about help managing the stairs with luggage. More than ten people pass without a word. Then need help with that . Thank you so much. Reporter another gentleman. It is a tricky business. It took me a while to remember my manners. Can i take your bag . Really. Reporter in terms of etiquette. I think its all up to us to be more mindful of everyone we encounter during the day, but certainly if its a pregnant woman or someone who needs some help help them out. Do you mind if i go ahead . Thank you. Reporter what we did find when she did ask for help, people were extraordinarily kind. My feet are killing me, do you mind if i go ahead . All right. Thank you. I felt so awkward to cut the line. I could wait in line. You just wouldnt do that. People would hold it inside and get angrier and angrier. When, in fact, the person really doesnt know. Ask for the help that you need. Get over any potential embarrassment there. Simply ask. Reporter turns out people arent that bad, theyre just busy. But given the chance, most folks want to help. Thats the ultimate test, isnt it . For a cab. Reporter can you get a new yorker to give up their cab for you. And one after one they did. Reporter you are such good people. You have got such good manners. Congratulations. This coming from the londoner. Reporter you get the prize. Im kidding, there is no prize. There were some folks who said, no, we didnt want to embarrass them. What was interesting i was outraged and dylan was like i didnt think anything of it. When youre waiting in line for 20 minutes and when he said, no, i was like, all right. Its new york. I would never ask that. Hey, can you . Even for the bathroom, which can be desperate. Can i cut you, but i will say keir did take my bag and i was doing a little test because i was holding it for a half hour. It took me 30 minutes. Isnt that ironic. I think people would have gotten up whether she was pregnant or not. Most people were very, very nice. You may go back to england and say how polite we are in america. All right, now, lets get tasome other things that are trending today. Were getting a little help this morning from none other than ms. Miley cyrus. Hey, girl. Very Early Morning to you. Are you a morning person . I am. I am kind of an all the time person. Im feeling pretty good and im happy. You have a job. Miley has a farm. She is up feeding one of her many million animals. Thats my first duty of the day. Go feed the pigs who are very hungry. Hungrier than me. Shes talking about adam and blake. Exactly. Were going to talk about the voice in just a second. Tipping is our first one. Question is, do you tip based on how you were treated or do you tip the same amount regardless of whether or not the service was bad . Miley. I feel like, i know the story. I know what youre getting to. I think its very personal. I all the time because i feel like im in a very fortunate position and sometimes people are having a bad day and you dont know what their day is like before they started their shift. So, im usually pretty generous but i feel like i would think i was a total dork. If i didnt, i would talk bad. The more i tip. Heres the server were talking about. N nfl star found himself shamed eating at a restaurant in pittsburgh and the bill was 130 bucks or so and williams left a tip of 75 cents. His waitress complained on facebook calling him cheap after an online backlash said he waited an hour and a half and tweeted the service was terrible. If it was good, she would have got an 40 tip. Meanwhile, that waitress was let go by the restaurant and saying the customer is always right. Not her fault the food was late. I feel at this point tipping isnt optional. Just guaranteed. Im with you on that. There is a baseline and you go up from there. Exactly. How much sleep did you get last night . We really just want takno know t miley got . I got like maybe five hours. Is that a lot . What about you guys . I was out late last night, three. Somebody. I fell asleep at 6 30 last night. Im exhausted. What about you . Seven. Five with children intermittent coming in and out of bed. Yeah, about that. If you get up early . Six. Theres so many people that will say i can function, i dont need a lot of sleep. People like bill clinton say that. Jay leno. All these hosts are like, hey, we dont need the sleep. Scientists have a message for them, yes, we do. Researchers from the university of utah says the magic number we should all get is seven. At least seven hours of sleep. They say if you do anything less, your judgment is impaired. With the kids always coming in and out its never a good seven. When you have little feet coming in or dogs or pigs. The pigs have four. Its a lot. Pigs are coming in. All right, carson, lets do pop start. Well start with Mark Wahlberg having a change of heart. Multiple assaults committed in the 80s in massachusetts he has since turned his life around and the states parole board said he didnt respond to a letter asking if he want tad keep that petition open. Earlier this week wahlberg said he regrets pursuing the pardon and said some good did come out of it like meeting and apologizing to one of his victims. This week we got the First Official trailer for the movie sequel fifty shades darker. Surpass star wars for the most viewed trailer in 24 hours. 114 million views. Thats 2 million more than star wars. That movie does hit theaters in february. Remember the first time we did our screening for fifty shades. Me, you, natalie and 1,000 today show viewers. I had to watch it alone with matt. Thats even worse. Trust me. I am like, im going for popcorn. Finally, Victoria Beckham strutting around the streets of new york only like she can. Have a look. That is victoria staying alive in times square. Her son brooklyn posted that video on instagram saying his mom is bringing fashion to the street. I like it. Can we keep that music going. That is one of favorite songs of all time. Good song to get stuck in your head. I like seeing her have fun. I think people being so serious in fashion, it just gives you standards that are unrealistic and youre not supposed to be smiling and i think laughing and having fun is the most beautiful ive seen her be. Free and fun. I like that a lot. I do, too. Good point. Well catch up more with you in a minute but we have to do the weather. Keep it alive. We do have a couple of showers and storms right through the middle of the country and those will continue to move towards chicago and st. Louis. And the rest of the midwest later on this afternoon. Auto. Erature wise, things are looking all right. Very, very comfortable across the northeast and back through the ohio river valley. 70s and 80s. Little warmer down south. Slightly above average. We have 60s and 70s across the rest of the country and we will see a chance of stronger storms today and a few isolated severe storms, although were not looking at widespread severe storms today. Just a heavier downpours and maybe some gusty winds. Gorgeous in the northeast and rain along the gulf coast and beautiful out were starting to see a few breaks in the low clouds. Bay area, east bay and san jose. A few sunny breaks. Livermore close to 54 at the moment but expecting highs upper 80s to low 90s around trivalley. Mid80s closer to san jose. Upper 60s San Francisco, 70s around san mateo and oakland today. Pleasanton close to 90 degrees. Weekend ahead definitely feels more like summer. Upper 70s around San Francisco and mid to upper 90s responsible across the valley. Thats your latest forecast. Savannah . All right. We all know from watching miley cyrus grow up in the public eye she is an accomplished singer songwriter and now adding a new title coach. Joining me for the new season of the voice. To win shes not afraid to bring out the big guns. Stairway to heaven and thats what that reminded me of. Can you just turn around and look at that screen really quickly. Hi, everybody. Its dolly and you have just got to pick miley because shes my goddaughter. Thats a fun fact tip when youre drinking at a bar. Any time you need it. I need like an automatic dolly. Thats why Blake Shelton is terrified of you. And now youre there. I think its been really interesting because adam gets really competitive and he wanted the country artist and alicia, too, because thats not what people know her for. I think the greatest thing about the voice we get to show people all different sides of us and our music Knowledge Beyond our genre and i think ive been lucky because my team, i think i have the most diverse team of all sound it has everything and very genre fluid and very open. What kind of coach do you think you are . What i love about the voice it feels like the coaches really, actually care. They want to be mentors. Carson knows, im the one that cries all the time because i get really attached. Even on days were not filming i go there and check in with my team and constantly texting with them and making sure they feel good and singing into the phone so i can make sure there are no surprises on the day. We work out any surprises before. We rehearse but about being spontaneous, too. When youre up there and in the moment, dont think about so much little note youve been given. Miley was a mentor on the previous season of the voice and weve never seen such a huge alist artist care so much so fast. Did they have to convince you . I dont think people at home realize how real this is. I wouldnt be doing this if this wasnt what it looks like is what it is. There are no producers and directors coming up and telling me what to say or who to pick or who is coming up next. The blind auditions you dont know who theyre going to be. Its all so real. Even i came in with preconceived ideas of what i thought the show was and they were completely broken down by the time i mentored. I wanted to be a part of it because i also think it is a part of my filife. Ink inkrencouraging people to be wh they are. Youre doing in some acting. Crisis at 16. It was directed and starring woody allen. It is very parallel to what life is right now. Im a female revolutionary character in the 60s but i feel like, you know, people when they work with woody they want to hear you had to dig deep into this character and i didnt because it was kind of written for me. He said he kind of had me in mind when he was writing this. The same kind of politics that were dealing with now and it was very strange to be watching current news and also reflecting so much on the past at the same time because there was so many rallies and things going on here in america at the time i was filming. So, it was really incredible. Definitely a time of unrest. A really cute picture of you xwxwi guys the other day, like when you first met. Super, super cute. Thank you. This is where im getting slightly into your business. You have a ring on your finger. Do you have anything to tell . Well, i got this one because it was really cute and then i got this one because it was really cute. Nothing to say about the other . I didnt pick this out. The voice starts on monday and you said something about dont want to do red carpets any more. Should i change the carpet . Has there been an opportunity to be on the red carpet . Not yet. Its not about the color of the carpet, more about the way, especially women we get yelled at to blow them a ckiss and i dont feel like blowing you a kiss. The photographer. They yell, blow us a kiss. What is going on . Who are you . And then to be kind of, youre putting yourself for people to talk about you. Now they make me wear clothes on the voice and today show and people are going to talk about it and they will talk that my necklace is actually backwards. What an awesome guest you were to him. Nats whoooo trt 03 all right a very exciting friday for silicon valley. That is tim cook. Apple fans this morning are off to the races. This is the scene about 25 minutes ago right outside the apple store in palo alto. Tim cook was on hand to greet the first people through the door.

Many apple Stores Expect to run out of the device by the end of the day. Anyone expecting to walk in and purchase iphone plus they are already sold out due to presale orders. If you order an iphone, no need to go unless youre looking for the experience, they deliver. No need unless you want the experience of a slower drive. Some people do have to drive 87 north. Coming into downtown, a lot more pleasant than half hour. 101 slow. South bay not so bad. Moving north of san mateo bridge, an easier drive but crash in oakland. Show you live shot past coliseum. A crash cleared around high street but still gummed up right there but clearing by the time you get close to the bay bridge. Back to you. Looking forward to improvement. That will do it for us.

Make for a pretty rainy northeast and eastern great lakes river valley especially for sunday with pockets of heavier rain. With the drought conditions, muchneeded rain. In the southwest it stays dry and temperatures in the 80s and 90s and we will start to see more rain work into the Pacific NorthwestLike Washington and northern oregon and also stretching over the window still showing a lot of low clouds around the bay area but a few breaks in the clouds over downtown san jose right now, should see temperatures around 2 00 to 4 00 today entering into the low to mid80s.

If you were to get just a regular bone, those go to groceries and braces and things like that. But when you have the bonus thats available only when you take a vacation, then you have to go and think, what can we do . Does it make you really finally think, i can take a vacation .

Announcer the the today Parenting Team created with johnson. Discovering with parents and babies. This morning on todays Parenting Team as im discovering preparing for your new baby can be overwhelming but easy ways to make his or her new home special. A lifestyle expert and she is also a spokesperson for johnson. Good morning. Good morning. Nice to have you here because i am in baby mode trying to plan a whole nursery. You are the mother of two boys. One that is only 4 months old. Get ready for it. Im ready. Im here to help you, dont worry. We have a traditional nursery decor set up and a modern decor set up. I wanted to walk you through some ideas as youre getting some thoughts around what your nursery might look like. Youre starting off with this canopy here. This is something that was just made right out of tool. This is fabric from the fabric store. Floral is really soothing for the baby. So, you want to stick with pastels. We have pendant l. E. D. Lights for this. One safety tip is to adhere this on to the wall. You dont want your baby to be grabbing this and it falling on them in the crib. I wanted to show this, as well. And then this is so easy to do. Literally takes less than 10 and the floral is like a floral around an embroiry hoop. Very nice. The baby crib itself has this mesh lining. A lot of people dont know about this. They make these mesh liners if it rolls over to the side of the crib and you dont want to suffocate it. Make sure to invest in a mesh liner and make sure your baby has that open ventilation inside the crib. I hear after you give birth people give you a lot of flowers. You could just throw them away or transform them into something else. With the floral theme for the nursery itself. We went with floral decor and you can press flowers and taking the bouquets that your family and friends give you when you have the baby and drying them out and hanging them upside down and this is a simple wooden plank. We hung the flowers, just with some twine and its beautiful. It also has a nice floral scent for the baby. Nice natural scent, ta. Instead of the phony tagerances. Exactly. Amanda is on our today Parenting Team member and she came up with this idea to repurpose an old curio cabinet. This is a china cabinet. You can find it on craigslist and flee market and you might have one in your house. All we did here was repurpose it into a dresser which is really great because it has see through windows, of course. So you can always see where things are. You dont have to dig through drawers. We painted the backdrop a light, soft pink to match the theme of the nursery and give it that nice pop of color. I love that. Mind if i had an open cabinet like that with a ball of clothes. You need takeep o keep it organized. That is traditional and then we have a modern take on the nursery. Ill start with the wall decor. This is unusual. We used drawer knobs and turned them into the colorful pegs that you can use to hang basically anything pants and jackets and swaddles. How do you attach those to the wall . You use an anchor and change the screw and it attaches right into the knob. These costs literally dollars and you might even have some around your house that you could spray paint. Then i see shapes and hex gones and triangletype shelving is very popular. Geometric is very popular right now. I love the idea of playing it up for your nursery. Bring succulent and with greenery as succulents are easy to keep alive. While youre up late at night Breast Feeding you dont have to worry about watering the plants. Which is nice. Huge trend right now in the market. Furniture wise below that i see a nice space saver with a corner changing unit. Nurseries are usually the smaller room in the house. Its very small. You need to maximize all the space you can. Corner changing table and is so great and comes with a hamper right underneath it because youre constantly changing your baby and it has everything you need. All kinds of compartments and fits right into the corner and amazing for maximizing your space. I think this is the crib i got. Convertible crib that changes as the kid grows. Baby furniture is very expensive. You have it on your registry already. The great thing about this crib, this is the same crib we used in the other nursery. You can see as an infant crib over here it converts to a toddler crib and then when your baby has outgrown the toddler crib and notice the safety rail here so your toddler doesnt roll out of the bed in the middle of the night like mine does, then you can take it off and turn it into a day bed for an older kid, as well. He monito is. But this is more than just getting a picture of your baby. This is more than just a baby monitor. This is pretty new on the market. It is not only a video monitor that you can access from your phone, but it tracks your babys sleep patterns and the movement. It knows how well your baby has been sleeping and it can give you a whole readout on how many times it woke up during the night, if it got great sleep during the night. It is kind of scare are you but as a new mom i will take all the help i can get. You will rest better if your baby is resting better. This is fantastic. Im definitely taking some of these ideas. Thank you so much. We are launching our new today Parenting Team challenge for october. We want to see your best kid halloween costumes. Upload your photos, vote for your favorites and get a little inspiration. Up next, it is always a good morning when this man is here. Billys here. His onepot chili recipe perfect for fall and as you can see football. Were back now at 8 46 with a special edition of today food. Fall weekends are all about watching your favorite teams with some great food owner of rocket in chicago is here with a great onepot meal. What are we making today . This is one of my favorite dishes at rocket. It is hearty, its got some spice but it is really healthy with ingredients like chicken, garlic, green peppers, jalapenos, tomatillos, all kinds of good stuff. First were just going to do something really easy here. Season with a little salt and pepper. Im using chicken thighs here. I like chicken thighs because theyre just tastier. And were just going to brown them on each side which will also kick up the flavor profile a bit. Youre just doing this right here in your pot. You are going to use the same pot the whole time. Once you brown it, it will look great. Add some Chicken Stock to cook it all the way through. Then pull it back out and separate it. You can use turkey or pork, if you want, by the way. Totally mix it up. Then you go et to your vegetables. Weve got green peppers, on yoenonions, just sweat that out to get nice and tender. Then hit it with a little bit more salt. Then just add the garlic, jalapenos for a little bit more heat, cayenne for some heat. Cumin. You do it in stages because you want it to sweat at the appropriate rate and also get the good mix going. Tomatillo youre putting some spice in here. I know. We are also going to be sweating at the appropriate rate. I know. Then shredded chicken. You can use rotisserie chicken if you want to cut all those steps. Or even leftover chicken. Throw it all in. After about 30 minutes of turning the heat down and letting it simmer, now smell that. Thats 30 minutes once you have everything in. Just let it go slow and low. Chicken are break up, tomatillos will break down. Add white beans, salt at the very end to taste. Thats your chili, very healthy. But we could take it to the other level. If you want to drop it right on the nachos, i have amazing game dana chy nachos. Guys . Billy, you deliver. Phenomenal. You see that big pile of nachos in front of you . Ill show you how to make it. In these nachos, jalapenos, tomatillo salsa, cilantro. In addition to what weve made here. Yes. Once youve done that, serve it up as chili or on nachos. Add sour cream. Mix that really slow and at a low heat together. Add some chihuahua cheese. Whatever you like. Ready to go with the nachos. Dig in. The guac. Everything. Talk about the key to stacking a nacho. Sometimes it gets all dumped on the top and you are left but nothing beneath. You know what . This has some high walls which is nice. Then you mix it up. Then you just kind of slowly layer it in. You cant just go all in at once. Then you got to serve it right away so you get the nice balance of crunch and soft. Carson, i think we are making this when we watch the game this weekend. Ill go to the store right now. So good. Thanks. Great to see you. Get the full recipe at today. Com food.

Looking at the big business of ride sharing apps. I sat down with the president and cofounder of lyft. You know you are doing something right when uber starts saying things to you. They put up billboards trying to lure some of your drivers away. What was your reaction . For the most part we are just focused on who we are and what we do. I think thats really paying off. I think the differences speak for themselves in how we focus on the people that are involved in our business. And the fun that we are trying to have in the process, versus a company thats just focused on the number and a transaction. Were focused on the experience. One of the interesting things about that interview, this is bigger s. 20 to 50 years and just making it pedestrian and ride sharing city. Transforming the way we live. Wow. A lot more of that on sunday today. Who knows whats coming up next hour . Tomorrow is National Gymnastics day. There will be gymnasts performing. Were back with a im.

Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, tamron hall, and billy bush. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this friday morning, september 16th, 2016. Thank god it is friday. Sheinelle jones is here because tamron is off. We are forever linked. We have a connection already that puts us way ahead of any two people randomly saying hello. This is the first time weve actually made eye contact and had a fun conversation but we do share this connection. Hello. How are you . So lets talk about the elephant. Our connection. Key word lochte . Key word lochte. You know what happened with me in rio obviously. We had the lochte situation. I ran into the guy outside a usa house. I took out my phone. I did an interview. You started it. Im afraid i launched it into like you did. Because of billy, all of a sudden an interview that i did with ryan lochte is really years ago when he was launching his reality show, whats old is new again. Apparently it is the gift that keeps on giving. People are like, wait a minute, are you that girl, the anchor that couldnt stop laughing when you were interviewing ryan lochte . Take a look. Secondlife is back. Is it bothering you to have the cameras following you around everywhere or are you getting used to it . You know, im getting used to it. I look forward to watching what would ryan do. He is good looking. We are so going to get in trouble. Seriously. How are they going to put together like 13 weeks of programming . Hes so cute. It was one of those things, you know when you get the giggles, its almost like in church. Be quiet. At the most i just couldnt stop. My coanchor and the crew and everybodys laughing. It was just youre like hes so cute. And a little slow on the uptake as well. I didnt know his little reputation. When i asked him do the cameras follow you in the bathroom . He said there is a sink, then there is a toilet, and i just and it was behind the scenes we were all thinking, oh, man. Then when we said goodbye, we were on camera. A lot of people said were you really on camera . Oh, yeah. I am who i am. What is it like to have a video thats viewed over 5 million times . Maybe like 10,000 for mine. Keep in mind, when that happened years ago, that was kind of new. Things going viral and being all over twitter. So i remember going home and i told my husband, i was like something happened on the show today. He is like, oh, stuff always happens. I was like, no, i think this is different. He goes whatever, no big deal. The next morning i woke up. I was like, this thing is everywhere. Then it died down. Our executive producer of our weekend show just said last week he was on the train and there was a woman cracking up because she was looking at that video on her Facebook Page. Cheers, guys, if you need a laugh. If i sound a little like lochte today, a little slow on uptake, i was out all night with that wild animal hoda cot ko ck. We both love the zac brown band. I looked at the schedule, there was a concert in charlotte, north carolina. We said we got to find some deserving moms, people, someone that we can take with us. We found these two moms. One of them, by the way, her husband is a huge zac brown fan. He didnt even know where she was going. When he found out, he was not thrilled. We took these moms to zac brown in charlotte, north carolina, last night. You got on a plane last night . Last night with these women right here. Thats sue on the left. Thats kathy on the right. Theyve been through a tough, tough time. Well, good for you guys. Children with cancer. You will tell us more about that. More later on. But this was some night. Hoda kotb is a liability. She is a selfie machine. It is great that we stopped for selfies all the time. Theres zac brown on the left. And the band. What time did you get back last night . The wheels touched down at midnight. Youre kidding. So heres the thing. Im looking at you thinking, thats the fancy life. You want to know my life . These are the kinds of things i do at midnight. My 4yearold swallowed a quarter. Swallowed a quarter. So i have been stressed out. Im not going to lie. The other day last week i was im just going to get my nails done, i need a moment. Im getting my nails done. I look at my cell phone and my husband said, um, our little guy just swallowed a quarter. Im like what . The nail tech is like, wait, one more coat. Im like, no, we dont have time for one more coat. Did you get the quarter out . You want too skip to the end . No, im worried about the boy. We went to the e. R. We thought it was a penny. Xray tech is like, mom, come here. It was a medallion. It looked like a medal. Heres what you need to do. Activia, plums, pears, anything that starts with a p. Throw it in the blender. Gave him a little smoothie. Within minutes, mommy mommy a mothers love i was told i had to prove that we got it. I got it ill speak to this. Plastic knife. Wait, wait, we all ran into the bathroom. It was like christmas morning. We were hugging, crying. Oh, man. I will tell you this. So only because you know, if we had a second date ill bring the quarter. I didnt want to creep you out too much. We saved the quarter. We put it in a little bag gee. It doesnt even look like a quarter anymore. It is amazing what your stomach acids do. It looks like a big penny. Like its no longer silver. You know, that happened one time we had a new baby, too. We had a 4 and a 2yearold. The 4yearold gave the 2yearold a penny who swallowed it maybe like get out of my life. I want to be the only child. I dont know what shes saying. All of a sudden my wife notices and she just, boom, across the room, grabs it and just finger down the throat. She said were not going to risk this. Im going all the way down. I still dont think she talks right. Whipped this thing out of there. There is nothing scarier in the world than that. My husband did the heimlich and all that. Didnt work. Still scary for a few days. Good old activia, plums and a blender and all is well. Trump, the donald, was on fallon last night. Jimmy had a very interesting, and appropriate, request. I just wanted to note theres something we could do thats just not president ial really or something that we can do now that were just both civilians. Like like what . Im not liking the sound of this. Go ahead. Can i mess your hair up . The answer is yes. But the people in New Hampshire where im going to be in about an hour from now, i hope theyre going to understand. You say yes . Go ahead. [ drum roll ] i was thinking is he the kind of guy that will play. Would he play. And he did it. So smart to do that. Youre right. I want to see him come out i want to see donald come out of the pool. When he comes up like that out of the father. It is going to be like fabio long. There is a little piece of me that wondered if it was real. See, i dont know the man. Never seen him in person. So i think there are some people in america who, like me, just it was a little piece of us that wondered, wait a minute, i want to see if jimmy will go all the way. Years before he let me lift up the top layer which is hardened with hairspray. But he let me lift it to see if the follicles were connected to scalp. After that forensic study, i did come up with a conclusion that, yes, the hair was real. That its real. But seeing it out of line is its like seeing his legs. Whoa he has legs . In shorts . You see how quickly he fixed it . He didnt even need a mirror. He was in New Hampshire later on. It took a village probably i dont think it entirely went back. Does he have like a you see it is a little tighter right there . Youre right. On the sides . That is amazing. Hey, up next there we go. Not the same. And darker. Big weekend in hollywood.

Back now with more of todays take. The emmys are this sunday, hosted by jimmy kimmel. Game of thrones nominated for 23 emmys. I think Julia Louis Dreyfus will probably win again for lead in the comedy. Dont you think . For the fifth year in a row . Yeah. I guess when you add in her win for the new adventures of old christine would give her the most ever in the category. Surpassing mary tyler moore. This is this actors first time being nominated. Not tons of range but the story line was so great in a show that is a phenomenon. I think he probably will. A if he phenomenon is a good word for it. People are obsessed with game of thrones. I think im the only person on the planet no, nice to meet you. Billy bush. Cant do it. The thing is if you watch it all the time and are into the story line, its complicated. My husband is obsessed with it. At night under the covers. I make him put in his ear buds. Hes obsessed. He finds time to watch it and i tried to watch for the first time and im lost. Now the ship has sailed. I just cant catch up. Too much work. One day maybe . No. I dont think so. But the walking dead, i havent even either. Cant do that one either. I dont have time for it. I prefer a good book. But that would be so annoying and not true. But you are flying all over the place. It is the good life. To me, it is fashion. I am a fashion horse. I enjoy. I always have an opinion. I look for a great accessory. I love the beautiful gowns when they come out on the carpet. This is the first time in like 12 years i wont be doing the red carpet. Will that be weird for you or refreshing . I dont know. Maybe a little bit of both . Its fun. I enjoy it. This is a horrible transition and analogy but as we say that, for me, i am a news girl. For years on local news when there was a snowstorm i was in it. So when i moved here to new york city on the today show, if there is a local storm, im not in it. So it was very weird being at home and watching everybody else talk about it. I say this to say, come any night. It might be kind of weird. You felt a responsibility the connection to all these moms and dads who are changing their lives and school cancellations. You were the one bringing this emthis news. For you, youve got all of these designer outfits, people are with their jewels, going around the country saving america with their movies. Mine is decidedly more important. But a lot more fun. Well talk about that the next morning. Lot of people talking about the Deangelo Williams story. He tipped a waitress, gave her 75 cents on 140. Im a personal believer, i know it is a little maybe politically incorrect to say, but if the waitress or waiter is really terrible and full of attitude and just i mean why would you reward that with a nice tip . Because you have to because you are billy bush. In that case, thats right. It would have to be really, really bad. I dont think you can just stiff them. You have to talk to the manager, let the manager know that they have Terrible Service going on in their place. Gone are the days, if you have a good waitress or waiter, 15 . You dont do 15 anymore. It is 20 . 20 makes you cheap these days. 20 is cheap . Yeah. I take the decimal, move it over and double it. It is easy math. 20 works for me. The Washington Post came out with the basic rules of tipping to help us all out. 20 right now with a full bill. What they didnt touch on is, do you tip 20 on the wine, too . Like if if you order wine, its not the same as preparing the food. Just opening and pouring. Do you do 15 for that . Some people do 10 on the wine, 20 on the food . I think 20 across the board. You go in, you are food is not ready, you have a water or something while you wait. Then they give you a bill . You still tip for carryout . Apparently you are supposed to. 10 for carry out. Ill start doing 10 . Probably 15 just to make up for what i just said. So we dont talk about you when you walk away. I tell you who is a great, great tipper . Dylan. My buddy. She always tips like 45 . If you see dylan in your restaurant, thats good stuff. There is a lot of action. Thats all i can do. I cant do anything more than that. Tomorrow is National Gymnastics day.

If you grew up in the 80s, right here, then you may have had some cory feldman posters on your wall. Hes always had a passion for singing. And now coreys got a double cd. We hear it is a labor of love for you, ten years in the making. Called angelic to the core. The angelic. I see it all around you. Tell me whats happening you got a grim reaper look going on and the angels are here. I dont like the direction. The whole theme of the album is good versus evil, heaven versus hell. That sort of thing. They are angelic. If you look at the artwork on album, you will see it is me trying to crawl out of a fiery pit and it is the angels pulling me out. It kind of all goes along with the concept. Why this concept . Well, probably because i know that angels have probably saved me once or twice in my life and i like helping them as well. Thats why i created coreys angels, to help girls who are kind of lost and needed to find their way, to get their opportunities, their dreams to make them realities. Thats what we do. Try to make their realities their dreams. You dedicated one album to michael jackson. There is actually four dedications. One to my grandfather, one to corey haim, one to michael jackson.

There are options, but the most effective course of action would be to remove the source of the allergens. Hes got a name. Its herbert. As long as you live with herbert, youre going to have the respiratory symptoms. And ill have the joy that only a kitty cat can bring. Okay, well there are some things we can do to minimize the impact. Allergy shots, a nasal steroid. Does that sound doable . Im in. At john muir health, we know how big the Little Things can be.
