Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone, welcome to today on a monday morning. Hoda filling in for savannah this week. Thanks for filling in. Great to be here. What a busy weekend it was. And were starting off with a busy week. Lets get right to that breaking news overnight. Theres been a deadly shooting at a canadian mosque during evening prayers. It is being labeled a terrorist attack. Ctv news is at the scene in quebec city. Good morning. Reporter good morning, matt. This morning two suspects are in custody after gunfire erupted at the Islamic Center here in quebec city. It is an act that the canadian Prime Minister is calling a terrorist attack, and it has left six dead, eight others injured. Fear and confusion after gunfire interrupts evening prayers at the quebec city islamic cultural center. Paramedics rushing to the mosque filled with more than 50 worshippers when the shots started ringing out. In a statement overnight, canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calling it a terrorist attack on muslims. Adding it is heart wrenching to see such senseless violence. This Morning Police confirming two suspects were arrested shortly after the shooting. Investigators say the motive of the attack remains unknown. It comes just days after President Trumps controversial immigration ban sparked international outrage. The president s executive order prompting Prime Minister trudeau to tweet to those fleeing persecution, terror and war, canadians will welcome you regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength. The premier echoing trudeaus message. We should work together, strive together with society. Reporter the quebec city mosque has been a target of hate before. Last june someone left a pigs head during the muslim holy month of ramadan. This latest incident has authorities in the states beefing up security. Were told demonstrators will gather in front of the mosque tonight in support with the Muslim Community here. Back to you, matt. Thank you very much. And now to more on that growing outrage over President Trumps controversial immigration order. Demonstrations were held coast to coast last night but the white house is showing no sign of backing down. We have complete coverage from the white house to the airports and were going to talk to Senate Minority leader chuck schumer. Let us begin with nbcs peter alexander. Peter, good morning. Reporter hoda, good morning to you. The criticism has been fierce. This morning the white house is claiming the implementation of President Trumps travel ban is, quote unquote, a massive success story, but the swift reaction from around the country shows a very different reality. Overnight another surge of protests against President Trumps controversial executive order. Demonstrators at san franciscos airport met by riot police, capping off a weekend of massive demonstrations. Including many at airports across the country and the streets around the white house. Hillary clinton offering her support to demonstrators, tweeting this is not who we are. In the face of those protests, this assessment from team trump. What youre seeing is a small reaction from a small number of people. Reporter amid the chaos, President Trump is defending his actions. The statement reading to be clear, this is not a muslim ban as the media is falsely reporting. This is not about religion, this is about terror and keeping our country safe. But trumps argument is seemingly contradicted by one of his advisers, Rudy Giuliani telling fox news trump consulted him and others. When he first announced it, he said muslim ban. He called me up, he said put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally. Reporter while trumps order bans refugees, migrants and foreign nationals from seven mostly muslim countries, the president points out 40 different majority muslim Countries Worldwide are not affected. Its working out very nicely. You see it at the airports, you see it all over, its working out very nicely. Reporter a growing chorus of critics disagree. This executive order was meanspirited and unamerican. Reporter even some republicans are urging caution. You have an extreme vetting proposal that didnt get the vetting it should have had. I think we should be careful. We dont have religious tests in this country. Reporter senators john mccain and Lindsey Graham slamming the move as a selfinflicted wound against terrorism. Trump firing back accusing the two of always looking to start world war iii. The reaction worldwide was swift. Canadas Prime Minister tweeting this photo welcoming a refugee, said his country would take those banned by the u. S. Irans foreign minister attacked trumps order blasting it as a great gift to extremists and their supporters. Late sunday the new head of Homeland Security insisted green card holders would not be blocked from returning to the u. S. White house officials backed up their boss, comparing trumps order to action taken by president obama in 2011 restricting visas to iraqi refugees after a threat. I cant imagine too many people out there watching this right now think its unreasonable to ask a few more questions from someone traveling in and out of libya and yemen before being let loose in the united states. I think in terms of the upside being greater protection of our borders, of our people, its a small price to pay. Reporter also fueling a fierce backlash, trumps reshuffling of his National Security Council Making chief strategist steve bannon a regular member while topranking intelligence and military officials will attend only when discussing issues per taping to their responsibilities and expertise. Having the chief strategist for the president in those meetings who has a significant military background to help make guide what the president s final analysis is going to be is crucial. Reporter to be clear, bannons addition to the National Security council is unusual. Advisers from the political side of the white house are generally not included in the meeting, certainly not on a permanent basis. President obamas former National Security advisor, susan rice, put it bluntly on twitter calling President Trumps move, quote, stone cold crazy after a week of crazy. The white house is also trying to tamp down another controversy after it failed to mention jews or the jewish mention by name in its statement on National Holocaust Remembrance Day friday. Aides here say they took into account all those who suffered, including the jewish people. Hoda and matt. Peter alexander, peter, thank you. Ari melber is nbcs chief Legal Correspondent and has the fact check on all of this. Ari, good morning. Lets talk about terminology. You hear people referring to this as a muslim ban . Are muslims even mentioned in the executive order . That is the controversy, matt. We can show you this executive order does not mention muslims or islam by name. It uses countries. But experts say that in its effect, it will ban muslims from those selected countries and still allow in likely more christians. When youre talking about the refugees, ari, trump seems to be wondering what all this fuss is about, the demonstrations and all the court orders and all that stuff. We did talk about it in peters piece, that president obama had done something similar back in 2011 when it came to iraqi refugees. So is there a difference here . There is a difference. This is all about basically donald trump saying, look, barack obama did this. When you look at that, what that was all about, though, was slowing the vetting and the entry for iraqis because it was a wartorn country based on a specific threat. It was never a complete ban and it didnt involve those other countries. When you look President Trump says this is about protecting us from terror brought in from overseas. If you look at the last 15 years and the terror attacks that have taken place on u. S. Soil and you compare the sources of those attacks with the countries on this list, is there overlap . This is the most important point and probably the largest legal problem for the administration. The travel ban list is these seven countries. It is true that they have been cited in prior laws. It is not true that they were cited by the congress as a source of immigrant exported terror. That is very important. And to your question, matt, you can look at some of the largest attacks weve had on the home front in 9 11. 15 of the 19 from saudi arabia, 2 from uae, egypt and lebanon. Other attacks a similar story. Pakistani immigrants on basically a basis of being a Family Member as well as that terrible orlando nightclub shooting, that was an american there born to afghan immigrants. So even when you look up the chain in the family, what we find here and what is an important distinction is none of these seven countries have actually sent people who have been involved in these deadly attacks. They were named for a different reason, matt. They were named as a place that were basically dangerous to visit when europeans on the Visa Waiver Program were coming in, not as a place sending killers. Thank you very much. Joined now by senator chuck schumer. Senator, nice to see you. Glad to be here. Everybody knew this was coming. Democrats knew, republicans knew. Anyone who paid attention to the campaign for the last year new that donald trump was going to do this in some form. You got very upset about this. Is it the breadth of the order, the implementation of it, the message, what . Yes. All of that. First, it was done in such a sloppy and careless way. Major agencies, the border patrol, customs didnt even know about it. There were major holes in it. It seems like back of the envelope. Even for those who might be for this, and i am certainly opposed, the slap dash way it was done was appalling and created the chaos. Much more importantly, this will make us less safe. John mccain is exactly right. It will encourage lone wolves here in america. They have created most of the terrorism. The biggest problems weve had with terrorism are not from these countries. In fact theres something called the Visa Waiver Program which allows people from france or belgium, places where there are known terrorists to come in, no questions asked. I dont even get what they were getting at because theyre not stopping terror, theyre instead doing what is in effect as Rudy Giuliani said a muslim ban. Now, that is against what america is all about. We set together on the day of the inauguration in washington a little more than a week ago. You said you thought it was crucial for democrats to be the bull work against some of the things donald trump wants to do. Not to sound like were on the playground but what do you intend to do about it . I will ask for a vote to repeal this. Senator feinstein has very carefully thought out legislation to repeal this. I hope Mitch Mcconnell allows that vote. Already 11 republicans have spoken out against it. We should repeal this and then we should silt down in a careful, thoughtful way, figure out ways we need to tighten up things against terrorism. Speaking out against it on the republican side is very different from them taking the next step. Lets hope theyll do it because this is what america is all about. You know, yesterday i sat with two families. One, a brave man from iraq who had served as a translator and his life was threatened because he was translating for our soldiers. He came in january 5th. Had the order been january 1st, he would have been dead. Another family who had parents, grandparents were americans. Suicide bomber blew up stuff in front of their house because of their affiliation, their religious affiliation. They too could have been dead. This is a blanket ban, hurts innocent people and doesnt stop terrorism. Its just appalling. All of this happens as many of Donald Trumps nominees for key cabinet positions are still waiting action. I think only two of 15 have actually been approved. Are you willing to connect the dots . Yes. Tonight another thing i will do is ask that they delay the nomination, the vote on mr. Tillerson for secretary of state because when he was questioned in committee and asked about a future muslim ban, because we didnt know that it was occurring, he was very mealy mouthed so im going to ask for a delay. Whether mcdonnell grants it is another thing. What about the other cabinet nominees. Were going to ask for every one. Youre going to be told youre taking political hostages. Arent the American People entitled to know the positions of these cabinet people before they come in . Real quickly, there is word that President Trumps pick for the Supreme Court could be announced as early as today or tomorrow. Given what happened with Merrick Garland last year how messy is this going to get . Were not looking for pay back but were looking for two things. Number one, a candidate who will be in the mainstream. The last four nominees to the Supreme Court, two by a democratic president , two by a republican president got bipartisan support. Has the white house reached out across the aisle . They have asked in general our views with nothing specific. Senator chuck i told them we wanted a mainstream judge. Lets hope and pray he listens. Senator chuck schumer. Nice to have you here this morning. Thank you very much. Why dont we bring in Nicolle Wallace and jerry bash. He served as chief of staff at the Defense Department and cia and is now an nbc news National Security analyst. Good morning to both of you guys. Nicolle, lets start with you. Donald trump said he was going to do these things in the campaign and, lo and behold, in all the chaos he did do these things. Were you surprised by what happened over the weekend . Well, i think that matt hit the nail on the head. It was the implementation that destabilized sort of the political mood, which was already very, very shaky after Donald Trumps rather you know, i think Steve Kornacki said it was a political shock to the system. Even if you are a widely enthusiastic supporter of a ban of immigration to these seven countries, it was implemented in a manner that is far less than methodical or sound. And less than 36 hours before implementing it, they had to roll back key elements so it seems they werent prepared for the fallout. For all those people whose hair is on fire, it does aptly describe whats going on on windchi capitol hill, the checks seem to be appointees like general kelly and general mattis. That played out. General kelly suggested letting in green card holders and that will begin to calm the political waters. What does that tell you about all the people around him because he made these executive orders without consulting a lot of these people. It throws into the spotlight something that i know kept jeremy up last night which is the addition of steve bannon to the National Security council and the intermingling of Campaign Promises and Campaign Staff in the deadly Serious Business of this countrys National Security. That move to put steve bannon at the National Security table, how unusual, how troubling is it to you . Its a strong break from precedent. In the obama administration, the director of National Intelligence and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff had a regular standing invitation to that principals Level Committee meeting. Now they have basically said someone who is the editor of breitbart, a website, can be there but the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff has to get an invitation. Going back to the executive order, jeremy, there obviously are people who think that this is going to make us safer, donald trump among them. You have heard from some key republicans and senator schumer. He thinks this will be used as a powerful tool by the very people were trying to diminish. Counterterrorism requires focus, it requires following leads, penetrating plots. If you put an entire civilian populous under suspicion, youre not going to go after the true threats. With the stroke of a pen, the president has handed isis a major propaganda victory. They have been on social media all weekend basically inspiring,in citing people to attack americans. This is not going to make us safer at all. Both of you, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Lets head over to mr. Roker for our very first check of the weather. Hey, al. Nice stretch.

But the Worlds Largest body of islamic nations voiced its grave concern overnight, saying trumps order will only embolden extremists. Delta says there could be more cancellations today in the wake of the nationwide ground stop. It was caused by a systems outage that forced delta to cancel at least 150 flights. Lets get more on that situation from nbcs tom costello. Hes at Dulles International airport. Tom, good morning. Reporter hi, malt, good morning to you. The ceo of delta is apologizing for what he calls an unacceptable situation involving in computer outage and the delays that it caused. This all started at about 6 30 p. M. Last night. As you mentioned, 150 flights or so cancelled yesterday and you can imagine the big hubs affected rather dramatically. That includes atlanta, l. A. X. , minneapolis, jfk, here at dulles, the list goes on. This morning about 95 flights are delayed. Not a lot of cancellations that we see, but the airline very much in the recovery mode today. No precise discussion about what exactly the computer problem was. Some early discussion that may involve the weight and balance computers which really determine how much fuel you have to load onto an aircraft, but no confirmation. It was just last week that United Airlines suffered its own significant computer outage. That caused a ground delay for several hours until they got up and running. Last summer, Delta Airlines had another big computer problem affecting more than a thousand flights. That cost them 150 million. This morning, delta says this problem they think has been resolved. Theyre waiving the change fees. If youre caught in the delay or if you had to miss a flight or you have to reschedule, they will waive the change fee because of it. It should be back to normal today but could take some time before the entire thing is kind of ironed out. Matt, back to you. Thank you, tom.

Now hes working on something new and just as ambitious for a solution to traffic in los angeles. Nbcs joe fryer has more on this. Joe . Reporter good morning, guys. You know this pile of dirt behind me, it is not your typical construction project. We are at the spacex headquarters where just days ago the Innovative Company started digging a tunnel. The question, could this be the answer to traffic gridlock. Apparently elon musk doesnt like traffic. For years the tech innovator has made clear his frustrations with gridlock. But where the average l. A. Commuter has limited options, the billionaire who helped create the first luxury brand electric car has made Space Exploration more affordable and is working on making train travel space age came up with a novel if not boring idea to do something about it. Tweeting traffic is driving me nuts. Im going to build a tunnel Boring Machine and just start digging. For years the presumptive thought was to look to the skies, but in typical atypical elon musk fashion, as others have gone high, he seems to have decided to go low. We started digging a hole on crenshaw just in front of spacex headquarters. Theres a giant hole. Reporter there had been a question as to how serious musk was about the tunnel idea, but at a Hyperloop Development competition at the spacex headquarters this sunday, musk not only confirmed ground had already been broken on the tunnel, but clarified that beating traffic wasnt the only goal. Im actually quite optimistic that tunnelling can be improved by at least five fold, maybe tenfold and thats really key to a lot of technologies. Road tunnels, hyperloop tunnels, train tunnels. Reporter even for the rarefied tech air that elon breathe breathes, this is groundbreaking stuff. This is somewhere near the top. Reporter ashley vance, elon musks biographer says where others see blockades, elon finds success.

Sunday night, remember, it was just over a year after the last competition when he infamously announced the wrong winner on live tv. Whats that . You dont remember that moment . Here it is. Colombia i have to apologize. Miss universe 2015 is philippines. So that was then and with that blunder harvey cemented himself in meme history but this time he came ready to mock himself, including when he came face to face with miss colombia, the country he incorrectly crowned in 2015. I know what youre thinking. Is that the guy from last year. Its been a long year getting here too because, boy, i paid the price. How do people in colombia feel about steve harvey . A lot of people hate you. But me, no, i love you so, guys, when the crowning moment arrived, what would happen . Steve didnt leave anything to chance.

Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

In the face of the protests, this assessment from top trump advisor stephen miller. What youre seeing is a small reaction from a small number of people.

And speaking of the court, a Senior Administration official is telling nbc news that President Trump may announce his pick to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia as early as today or tomorrow, matt.

Go to the doctor a lot . Yeah. Is there a doctor you dread seeing . Im going to the dentist tomorrow and not exactly looking forward to it. The dentist is the worst. A lot of people actually avoid trying to get a checkup. Not only with the dentist, more actually with a regular doctor. A new report says that about a third of people delay seeing the doctor. The question is why. Because they are afraid of getting bad news. Can you identify with that . Sometimes, yeah. So you might put off going to a doctor because youre afraid something might be wrong . Right, yeah, i might. Yeah, i would too. Ive actually done it. And you wish you didnt later, but you pay the price. You do. But then you feel better when you leave. Doctors call this the fear of finding out. This was especially true of single men, middleaged men in particular. Married men not so much because our wives. Our wives tend to say no. So its fofo, fear of finding out. Nobody likes a jerk, can we all agree on that simple fact . Do you think you can spot one instantly. When you meet somebody. Size somebody up . Thats not fair. I look in the mirror. Now, some people say they always go theyre quick at point them out and we may know the reason why. It may be because you yourself are a jerk, all right . Takes one to know one. Theres a philosophy at the university of california at riverside, a professor says sometimes people cant tell theyre jerks because they are rationalize their own behavior but theres a solution. They said stop and look at the people around you. If you are surrounded by jerks, you might be one. They say youre the sum total of the five people you spend the most time with. We need one more. Who here will admit that they surround themselves with jerks. You wont even know. It no, i wouldnt say although you were mentioning someone in the makeup room. I did say a friend of mine is a real something who rhymes with witch and she talks about how all of her friends are witches. Im like so are you. It all makes perfect sense. Are you afraid of heights . I am deathly afraid of heights. No, not really. Like ladders . A lad eder is okay but on a threestory roof i get a little vertigo. I want you to stare at the monitor, carson. Here is a daredevil walking across a slack line. Hes doing this at the upper falls in Yosemite National park. How high is he . 2500 feet in the air. I cant watch it. You can see the falls rushing beneath him. He is trailed by a harness but there is no net. He takes one wobbly step after another. At one point he falls. What . But hes able oh, no but hes able to get back up and keep going. Okay, thats horrifying. But that gopro shot or whatever hes wearing puts you right there, his point of view. It makes it worse. You would do that. I would not do that. Al, youve gone to the top of bridges and stuff. Yeah, but i wouldnt do that. I love heights. I dont mind it, but that is yeah, thats crazy. No doubt about it. Popstart. Deviguys, were talking aboue s. A. G. Awards and heres a look at some of the stars that turned heads. Taraji p. Henson, Nicole Kidman and kerry washington. But inside two legendary performers got people talking and laughing. Dolly parton and lily tomlin. Dolly presenting lily with a life time achievement award. There was no complete 9 to 5 reunion, jane fonda was homesick, but the ladies took the opportunity to crack a few oneliners. People have been talking for years saying that we should do a followup, sequel to 9 to 5. I guess wed better get after it or wed have to call it 95. Did you hear the dooms day clock has been moved up to two and a half minutes before midnight. And this award, it came just in the nick of time and dont be anxious about missing an opportunity. Behind every failure is an opportunity someone wishes they had missed. That was great, dolly and lily, right . Offering some words of wisdom. Next, winona ryder stars in that Netflix Series Stranger Things. It won the best ensemble in the drama series. The child stars were pretty excited and their costar gave an impassioned acceptance speech. It seemed that winona ryder spoke for a lot of people watching, just watch her facial expressions here.

This is good. Finally Justin Bieber wasnt at the s. A. G. Awards but did have a busy weekend. Saturday night justin took part in the nhls all star celebrity shootout but the pros did not go easy on the stars. Check out Chris Pronger crushing bieber against the plexiglass right there. Hes 66, 220. Bieber is 59, 145. After the hit, bieber recovers rather quickly. Chris gives him a little tap, its nothing personal. They did manage to catch that shot. There you go.

Were looking at chilly conditions up to the north but its really kind of seasonal. Our jetstream almost in a zonal flow. Staying mild down south. Seasonal chills from the plains into the northeast. Providence 6 degrees above mobile, dallas will be 73, thats 18 degrees above average. For tomorrow, the warmth continues through the south. Orlando, new orleans, corpus christi, providence right about average, detroit stays warm. As we get toward the weekend, temperatures start to chill out. Minneapolis will be in the teens. Wednesday new york is 47 but by friday were at 33. Mid70s in orlando and cools off in atlanta, 69, by friday good morning. Im meteorologist bill henley. A snowy start for delaware and south jersey, especially at the shore. The snow ends this morning and the temperatures will warm to 39 at the shore, and 38 in delaware. Mostly cloudy skies in the lehigh valley. Will is a chance we h h see the clouds produce a few isolated showers for philadelphia and the suburbs, and the temperatures will be above freezinging and so any light showers wont last and they will bon the move as the winds pick up this afternoon. Have a great day. And that that is your latest weather. Hoda. All right, al roker. Now to our start today, live to 100 series. All month long weve been trying to get a handle on our diets. How have you done . Pretty good. Today joy bauer created plans for each of us. Energy and immune boosting one for me. So as this month winds down, joy is here with recipe redos to help us stick to Healthy Eating throughout the year. And you guys have been doing great, by the way. We should give joy just a little badge of honor here because you created foods for us on our diets that actually work that i am still implementing. Not all of them and not even most of them that makes me so happy. This is the thing. I found and i think a lot of people do this, we both sort of do it. We went out the door, we find whatever we can in the morning. A bagel and cream cheese. So many peoples gotos. This bagel 500 calories and offers you nothing in return. Theres no nutrition whatsoever. So what should jenna eat instead . This is pretty cool. I am claiming the new avocado toast for 2017 is sweet potato toast. Take your sweet potato, slice it lengthwise, pop it in the toaster oven. Put on a little Peanut Butter. And you said watch how much Peanut Butter we eat because we like to slather it on. Put a tablespoon on each slice. Youre taking a raw potato and sticking it in the toaster . Yes, yes. Or you can put it in the oven, right, or no. Two slices just 310 cal reese. You get potassium from the banana, which by the way beats bloat. Is that delicious. Pretty good. And look what else you can do here. Put some greek yogurt on the bottom of it, even put an egg on top. I would never think of toasting a piece of sweet potato. Sweet potato toast. I love cupcakes. Thats one of my problems. So when you get a cupcake at the bakery, its going to start at 300 calories and its only going to climb depending upon how big it is. Like this baby looks like its a lot of calories over here. That is probably about a thousand calories, but normally theyre about 300. Theres a lot of frosting on that one. So the first thing to know is most of the bakeries now have mini cupcakes so you definitely want to go for the mini. When you think about it, its the first few bites that really do it for you. Thats the sweet satisfaction. But im going to take it to the next level. Pick this up, were going to frost this. For people that were willing to put in a little effort, i have a little recipe that is on the website. What is that . Youre going to taste it. Give this a taste and tell me if you think there is anything good in it . Anything suspicious in there or does it just taste like a cupcake. Tastes like a cupcake. Is that avocado . Well, in the actual cupcake i pureed in a can of black beans. What . Instead of oil. You follow so this is good for digest 81. And the frosting is made out of avocado and each of these little guys just 70 calories. You could have two for 140. Do you not like it . I love it. Two for 140. One of the tips that i thought was genius was hoda had to put all of her snacks in a bag. Are you trying to remind me of that . It helps with the impulsive eating. Lets move to craig, who by the way i think he lost 15 pounds. He looks amazing. He was a soldier. You guys were great too. One quick thing, i dont like competing with guys because they lose weight so fast and we eat a cracker and gain a pound. So when you order chicken parmesan out in a restaurant, remember, he went meatfree, he loves this stuff. I needed to give him another alternative. This is actually a double portion. But when you order it, its at least 1,000 calories. Thats not considering the starchy mound of pasta you get on the side. Instead, you dont want to order eggplant parmesan because it could be worse because its such a spongy vegetable and sops in all that oil. So make it at home. Season it, roast it in the oven about 20 minutes, put on some sauce, some cheese, red pepper flakes and oregano. This whole thing, 200 calories. Joy, we want to thank you so much. She can make your favorite recipe healthier. Just text joy. Head to today. Com to find out how. Tomorrow its our big start today finale. Just ahead the woman behind the fifty shades phenomenon, you know you want to meet her. E. L. James is here. First your local news. Thats her. Good morning. Im Tracy Davidson. It is about 8 30.

More than star wars did in its trailer. Is there any sort of pressure before you start, like oh, please, let this one do as well as the last . Oh, absolutely. Of course theres always pressure. The last movie was so successful but we just want people to go in and see it and enjoy it. People that have read the books, havent read the books, people that have seen the movie, didnt see the movie. So many people want to see the writer because they want to know when i read the first book i said who is this e. L. James. I thought she must be wild.

Just through reading and doing sometimes so, yeah, lets just leave it at that. And i love there was a quote from your husband. He said that hes like the least romantic guy in the world. Yes, yes. He needs to step it up a notch. One time he gave you a can opener for christmas. Yeah, yeah. What does he think of the movies . He is the screen writer, right . He is the screen writer. Hes very excited about it as well. Hes been a great source of strength and comfort to me sometimes during this extraordinary journey that weve both been on. Lets compare the two movies, just so if people have seen the first one. Is the sequel, does it have more of a love story . Definitely. This is where we see christian and ana coming together, as it were. Moving towards each other. Theyre both pulled apart and we see them the romance blossom in their relationship as they meet each others needs. Comparing the two again, is this second one more scandalous . Thats an objective thing a subject iive thing so they h to judge for themselves. Is it more of a thriller . Yes. Weve got some things from the past that come into effect, christians past come in to affect the happiness of the couple. You have two teenage sons. Are they mortified . They are. They tease me all the time. They call me el hemes. Have they seen the first one . They havent read the books. But they saw the first one . They saw the first movie and really enjoyed it.

Did you, on a more serious note, fall on set and get a concussion, is that true . Yes, i did. Yes, it is. I am much better now. I was back at work three days later on monday. But, you know, i wish i could say i was doing a real stunt and it was like some serious someone broke my jaw. I just slipped on a wet road. Come up with a better story. I know. There was so many witnesses, i couldnt have made it up. I was trying i was trying to really go with everyone was like it was a stunt scene and i just wanted to go with it, but it wasnt true. But youre okay. It was a concussion. They rushed me to the e. R. , but im much better now. Last weeks episode was so powerful. You had this empowering speech about women and not having to use their bodies about what they want to get. Were you influential in getting the producers to drive that story line . Yes. It was a conversation that i had with josh. The entire episode was about seduction and being able to get information out as operatives and having to use your bodies and your minds. And i said that, you know, alexs character to me is such an empowering woman that i think she should make a point where youre insulting both genders by saying sex is so important. One, that thats the only thing a woman has to offer so you reduce her to just that and, second, that men are so stupid that theyll give up anything just for sex. So i think that was a really important point for the generation of today and josh and i spoke we spoke to each other about it and he and the writers just really went with it. I think the scene is just a really important example of the kind of conversations people need to have, keeping in mind the atmosphere in the world today. And the way you just explained that is part of the reason Time Magazine named you one of the 100 most influential people. Granted thats a scene and thats a character, but thats reflective of who you are as a woman as well and what you portray in your life. Supentertainment to me is entertainment and, yes, its fiction. But wherever you can have something that is relevant or a point of view, which is what makes quantico such a cool show, one of our new episodes were talking about fake news, another episode we have a female president. Were just debating all the things that need to be spoken about and this was an extremely relevant topic in terms of womens issues. You talk about relevance and political importance. You are going to be on baywatch. Which is extremely politically important. That might bring america back together. I hope so. I think i will take the responsibility of that. Dwayne the rock johnson. Look at that cast. Smoking hot. Its a beautiful cast. You grew up watching this show. I used to love baywatch. I tell everyone in america i think around the world people loved baywatch more than people did in america. We saw it as cheesy. People around the world thought of it as the Great American dream. Even if you go to europe, David Hasselhoff is a huge star. The hoff is huge. Theres a reason for that. I remember you know the slow motion music in the beginning when it would start. I would do my hair flip even at night. In the mirror practicing. Yeah, thats how i bm so good at doing the slow motion walk because of baywatch. Quantico is tonight. Mondays, mondays. Thank you so much. Im going to slip over here can you do the slow motion run to the weather . Do we have the music . Al roker doing his best b baywatch. Jiggling right now. You just cant see it nor do you want to. Okay. Go ahead, work it. Now this is me out of best in slow motion. So for our week ahead, monday into tuesday into wednesday, a clipper coming across bringing some snow, some afternoon storms move into the northwest and on into central and southern california. Sunshine around the rest of the country and then by the latter part of the week, sunny skies in the midatlantic states, heavy rain and snow moves back into the west coast. Thats whats going on around the u. S. Heres whats happe good morning. Im meteorologist bill henley. A snowy starter for delaware and south jersey. Es pe especially at the shore. But the snow ends this morning and the temperatures will warm this afternoon to 39 at the shore, and 38 in delaware. Mostly cloudy skies in the lehigh valley. There is a chance that we will see clouds produce a few isolated showers for philadelphia and the suburbs, and the temperatures will be above freezing, and so any light showers wont last and they will will be on the move as the winds pick up this afternoon. Have a great day. And that is your latest weather. Priyanka, thank you so much. Baywatch is memorial day . Memorial day. Something different to serve at your Super Bowl Party this weekend.

Then we add all the chicken to that. Do you like chicken thigh or breast . I like chicken thigh because it doesnt dry out. So you marinate that for 12 hours. And then we have some skewars soaking. Once i did not soak them and they were like charred is it ix. So then we put them on the grill pan. You want it nice and hot. Were going to cook them for 12 minutes, six on each side and then garnish it with some scallions and some garlic. Now this is the thing that i eat every single time i enter your restaurant. Tell us about your wings. This is my favorite. These are wings. We have our southern curry ingredients over here. Again, it looks like a lot but you can find everything. Which is important. And then so we have the southern curry already made and were going to marinate the wings. So we have some buttermilk, some southern curry and we have a little sriacha and some fish sauce. And then were going to mix that all up and then were going to if you want to pour that over the chicken. Inside this bag . Yes. And then we marinate it for 12 hours overnight. So these are marinated wings. And then the key to making these extra crispy is we double flour them. So were going to flour it once. Okay. And then put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Take it out and then flour it again. Its a double dredge. A double dredge. Then we also double fry. You start at 325. Take it out when theyre light golden brown. Im hungry. And then we bring the temperature up of the fryer to about 350. Okay. And then fry it for a second time. Thats how you get it super, super crispy. This is more of the southern curry. Put it on there.
