To mexico pay off and what does the Clinton Campaign say about a string of new polls showing a much tighter race. Well ask clintons running mate tim kaine. Promising breakthrough. A new drug delivers tantalizing results in the fight against alzheimers. This morning how it works and why researchers are hopeful but cautious. And britney is back fresh off her performance at the vmas and with her new album just out, were catching up with Britney Spears and shell have a special exclusive performance just for us today, thursday, september 1st, 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 on a rainy thursday morning. Remember earlier in the week we were talking about those Great Outdoor plans you had for Labor Day Weekend. Not looking so good. Were going to confront al. I mean, talk to al. Its our top story. The weather. A state of emergency in florida. Tropical storm hermine expected to make landfall later today. Its already brought heavy rains to the gulf coast. Could strengthen into a category 1 hurricane and, yes, the entire east coast is now looking at a wet holiday weekend. Lets go right over to al. Hes following the storms path. Well get to him in a second. Lets start with nbcs Gabe Gutierrez who is in florida this morning. Gabe, good morning to you. Reporter savannah, good morning. Weve already seen some rain on and off here throughout the morning and as you mentioned hermine is strengthening. The National Weather service now saying its expected to make landfall here in florida either later tonight or in the overnight hours as a hurricane. Now, dangerous storm surge is expected and overnight weve already seen some flash flooding and over the last 24 hours north of tampa. Now hurricane warnings are in effect for where we are at in franklin county. Mandatory evacuations are also in effect. Storm surge expected up to seven feet in some places and hermine is expected to bring up to 5 to 10 inches of rain in some areas even 20 inches in isolated spots. If hermine were to make landfall as a hurricane here in florida, it will be the first hurricane to hit the state in nearly 11 years. Its packing winds up to 65 miles an hour. Its expected to strengthen throughout the next few hours. Savannah . All right. Gabe gutierrez, thank you. Al is here and hes going to talk about this storm now posing some pretty big problems for what millions of people up and down the coast. Thats it exactly. Its been 11 years since a hurricane has hit florida. This could strengthen as gabe mentioned to a category 1. Latest on hermine, 270 miles South Southwest of florida. Looking at the path right now, we expect landfall sometime late this afternoon just to the east and then continues inland until Early Saturday Morning and comes out around the carolina coast but look at this cone of uncertainty that widens out. Washington, d. C. , philadelphia, new york, parts of connecticut, providence, all of the way up to boston all have to worry about this system. Now, for the first time in four years, weve got a hurricane warning in effect along the gulf coast from panama city down to spring hill. Weve got Tropical Storm warnings as well and we also have to worry about the risk of storm surge. Thats when all these waves, this wave energy piles that water up against it and we get flooding moving its way inland. Right now weve got storm surges that will peak 1 to 3 feet around tampa. 4 to 7 feet as you get to big bend on top of high tides. We also have to worry about the possibility of tornadoes from savannah down to tampa. Typically small in scale but still we have to watch it. The other big problem is going to be the rainfall. Anywhere from 10 to 20 inches of rain especially in northern florida but as you get up into the carolinas and georgia, could be upwards of 7 to 8 inches of rain and coming up in the next half hour, rip currents are going to be a very big problem stretching from florida all of the way into nantucket by the time the Labor Day Weekend is over. We talk about plans for the Labor Day Weekend. Nothing compared to what could happen along the coast. Absolutely. Lets turn to politics now and headlines there. The long awaited speech on immigration that donald trump delivered to a roaring crowd in phoenix wednesday even after conflicting reports emerged from that surprise visit earlier in the day with the mexican president. In a minute well speak to tim kaine to talk about his thoughts on that speech when he joins us. First, lets go to nbcs Hallie Jackson. Hallie, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. This morning already reaction now to Donald Trumps tough talk on immigration. Some of his most conservative supporters are applauding what sounded like a speech trump might have given during the primaries but even some of trumps open surrogates say they feel disappointed with Hillary Clinton calling it trumps darkest speech yet. In front of a fired up crowd, a fiery donald trump trying to clarify his immigration stance. Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation. Reporter for the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants living here, no legalization. You cant just smuggle in, hunker down, and wait to be legalized. Not going to work that way. Reporter the gop nominee promising a new Deportation Task force. Trump going after Hillary Clinton. Maybe theyll be able to deport her. And reiterating his most consistent campaign pledge. Building a border wall. And mexico will pay for the wall. 100 . They dont know it yet but theyre going to pay for the wall. Reporter that confidence coming despite a disagreement just hours earlier over who would cost the cost of the wall after a surprise sit down with mexicos president. I made it clear that mexico will not pay for the wall. A dramatic and diplomatic shift in rhetoric from the gop nominee. Just one year ago. Theyre not our friend. Believe me. Reporter now i call you a friend. Thank you. Reporter Hillary Clinton calling it a photoop. It certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours. Reporter trump insiders tell nbc news the candidate insisted his visit happened the same day as his big immigration speech. Both trips showing two types of trump in mexico a softer touch. We had a very direct and Constructive Exchange of ideas. Reporter in arizona, a harder line. We will break the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration. Reporter and this morning trump is making even more clear his stance on the border wall tweeting again, mexico will pay for it. Hes not backing down even as he makes some new overtures to the country with his surrogates showing off new swag. You know those hats that say make America Great again. We saw hats saying make mexico great again also. Matt, savannah . Hallie jackson, thank you. Tim kaine is the Vice President ial nominee on Hillary Clintons democratic ticket. Good morning. Good to see you. Good to be with you. Thanks. I want to start with this meeting with mexicos president. Afterward, there were conflicting reports of whether or not they talked about who in fact would pay for this wall on the border. Mr. Trump said it didnt come up. The president of mexico said, yes, it came up early in the meeting and he told mr. Trump that mexico wouldnt pay. Both cant be right. Which one is trying to save face in your opinion . Well, i think this is kind of a diplomatic amateur hour by donald trump. What are the odds, matt, that he has been telling the American Public for months now were building a wall and mexico is going to pay for it, but then that did not come up in the meeting . I find that kind of ridiculous. Even if it didnt come up, he choked and forgot to say that to the president of mexico after hes been saying it every day for the last many months . So i find his statement that he didnt bring up even if its true, it shows that he sort of folded under pressure and didnt have the backbone to say to the mexican president what hes been saying over and over. The optics of this, donald trump stood there with the mexican president. He was toned down. No outrageous rhetoric. He seemed to be on his best even his best president ial behavior. Is that one of the difficult things for you running against a donald trump that you never know exactly which donald trump youre going to get . You know, i think the important thing about leadership is you have to be consistent. You cant say Different Things to different audiences. And so, you know, he came back across the border and its about mexico is going to build a wall. Mexico is going to pay for it. He was divisive. He says america is going to be deportation nation. But when hes looking the leader of mexico in the eye, he cant bring himself to say it. That tells me something about his backbone and his resolve and so its an interesting yesterday was an interested display of, i think, kind of a diplomatic lack of resolve and then this language of division deportation that shows that donald trump is not changing anything. Back to optics for a second. If you look at the side by side of this week, donald trump went to mexico. He sat down. He had a dignified meeting with a foreign leader. Hillary clinton spent most of this week scooping up money in the hamptons for fundraisers. Doesnt trump come out on top on that . I dont think so. Do the contrast in 24 hours yesterday. Donald trump choked on the fundamental promise that hes making in this campaign when he had the opportunity to talk to the foreign leader about it by his words he didnt bring it up. By the leaders words. It did come up. I told trump were not paying for your wall. So that just shows that i think kind of not ready for prime time but then back over on this side of the border, he just doubles down on this divisive deportation nation strategy. Lets talk about the state of the race. Most National Polls were seeing battleground polls show a tightening race. Thats the trend. And if you look into some of those polls, what you see really its a matter of Hillary Clintons Favorability Ratings actually going down. The question is if trump is as weak a candidate as you portray, why isnt she putting it away . I encouraged secretary clinton to run in april of 2014. I gave a speech in South Carolina and i said i hope that she runs, and we talked about it. I said make no mistake, this is going to be incredibly difficult. I think it will be hard. You cannot assume anything. Youre trying to do something that nobody has ever done before. I always assumed this race would be hard. We feel good about our position in a number of true battleground states. We dont feel any sense of complacency. Were organizing and making our case to voters every day because we felt from the beginning this would be very, very difficult. Senator tim kaine, thank you for your time this morning. I appreciate it. You bet. Thank you, guys. Good to be with you. We turn to a possible game changer in the fight against alzheimers. Researchers announcing an experimental drug produced results in slowing memory loss in some patients. Dr. Natalie azar is with us now. Explain whats going on. We want to say we want to temper the enthusiasm. Previous drugs have shown promise in early phase one trials and gone on to not show significant improvement in patients clinically. Thats kind of important. We dont know what causes alzheimers. We do know its characterized by these abnormal plaques of protein in the brain. Patients given this drug for a year and in a time and dose dependent manner had a significant reduction of these plaques which means people that got highest dose had almost complete disappearance of these plaques. I want to say again does that translate something meaningful in terms of cognitive function. Just because you have a reduction in the protein plaques doesnt mean you slow the production of memory and thinking problems or even halt the progression. Exactly. Heres where the important thing is that we do know that these plaques can start to surface years, even a decade before symptoms start so imagine if you could take a population of people who are at risk, either by screening or genetic risk and give them this drug that early and prevent the plaque from ever developing, could that translate into a truly meaningful treatment for alzheimers . The notion being something that speaks to prevention or stopping it before we get to this terrible situation. Can you imagine . Right now there are two phase three trials ongoing. Small study. Right now 165 patients of phase one trial. Were hoping to have data by 2020. If we can show halting in memory decline and improvement in cognitive function, cautiously optimistic. Lets get caught up on other news. President obama will make a very unusual visit to midway today. Land halfway between asia and north america. Its the next stop on a whirlwind tenday trip. Hell then fly to china for the g20 summit and meeting with chinas president. Breaking news out of Cape Canaveral, florida, where there was an explosion at the spacex facility. Tom costello joins us with more. Spacex was conducting a test firing of their falcon rocket with this happened. This was a static test, just making sure the engines were working properly before the launch, which is set for this saturday. That mission was to carry an Israeli Communications satellite into space. This mornings explosion shook buldings several miles away. No reports of any injuries at this point. We dont know how much damage there might be on the ground. Spacex is so far not commenting.

Its beautiful out there one of the women had written and now looking at the inside of a prison cell. The third man is reportedly in his 60s. All will appear again in court in october and nbc news did reach out to the womens family. We have no word from them. We werent able to contact them or their Legal Advisers so far. Matt .

Were back now on or not some of our stories on the true crime stories of our time. 15 years ago the nation was shocked to hear about this case. Rusty yates returned home from work to a nightmare. His five children had been drown in the bathtub by their own mother, his wife, andrea yates. Nbcs Janet Shamlian sat down with one of the few people that remains in contact with andrea yates as she lives out her days in a Mental Hospital. Reporter it was a crime that horrified the nation in june of 2001. 15 years ago. Andrea yates drowning her five children in the bathtub of her houston area home. She then called 911 to report what she had done. Do you need an ambulance . No. I need a police officer. Noah, john, paul, luke and baby mary. Seven years to just six months old. Her husband, rusty, was working at the time. He returned to a scene of sheer terror. Cops were crying. There was a lot of emotion there. They were the guys that had gone into that house and had to recover the bodies. Nbc station kprc was on the scene first. They brought andrea out and her clothes were still wet and her hair was still wet from the bathtub. They brought her out. She looked like a zombie. There was a sort of wildness in her eyes. Even with a long and documented history of mental illness, including suicide attempts, she was charged and convicted of capital murder but the verdict was later overturned and in a subsequent trial she was found not guilty by reason of insanity. She testified she believed her childrens deaths would save their souls. Andrea yates was committed to a texas Mental Hospital where she remains today. Now, 52 years old. You talk to andrea on a weekly basis . I would say probably about every seven or eight days. How is she doing . She is doing remarkably well. She has excellent care. George parnham was and is still in andreas attorney. Theres not a day that goes by where she doesnt care for, talk about, is happy about her childrens lives before june the 20th, and grieves for her children. Parnham says she makes her days making crafts which are sold anonymously to charity, and she also spends time watching videos of her children. The hospital where she is, there are no wires or bars, theres no armed guards, no fences. For the most part its a life of solitude. She never leaves the hospital and has few visitors. While the case comes up for review yearly, andrea has never sought to be released. Rusty yates divorced andrea three years after the incident. He later remattered and had another child, a son who is now eight. According to recent court documents, his second wife filed for divorce last year. In a 2015 interview with oprah winfrey, he spoke about his grieving and where his acceptance is now. For some reason when i think about them today, i think of them as being teenagers or young adults. Your oldest son would be 20 now. Its real easy to get caught up in, oh, how they suffered or the fact that they are gone, you know, and what i tried to do was im not going to let these events steal that joy. The joy that we had for those seven years. Maybe with the exception of sandy hook, the added element here, of course, is that the children were killed by the one person that should have guaranteed their safety. Five beautiful lives lost. 15 years later a tragedy that still resonates. For today, Janet Shamlian, nbc news, houston. So hard to look at those videotapes of those children. 15 years does not make it any easier to think about and tomorrow were going to wrap up this series and talk about one of the most infamous crimes in recent history. You probably remember this. Two wealthy children in Beverly Hills gunning down their parents inside their home. Were going to have the latest on the Menendez Brothers tomorrow morning on today.

They can tell what im thinking, just by looking in my eyes. But what they didnt know was that i had dry, itchy eyes. I used artificial tears from the moment i woke up. To the moment i went to bed. So i finally decided to show my eyes some love,. Some eyelove. Eyelove means having a chat with your eye doctor about your dry eyes because if youre using artificial tears often and still have symptoms, it could be chronic dry eye.

Welcome back. 8 09. Time for trending. We have a moms message. I think its going to strike a lot of people. Definitely hit a cord with me. Shes from west virginia. She was at the Grocery Store with her two little sons. 3 year old and 1 1 2 year old and they were being a handful as kids sometimes are. The reaction i get from other shoppers pushed her to tears. She posted this photo to facebook saying she sat in the car and just started crying and then she wrote. I i know these days will pass. The tears will stop. The fighting will cease and theyll be grown. So if you see a parent struggling and see a kid throwing a tantrum, see a mom on the verge of tears, please Say Something nice. Dont glare with judgment. Youre strong and youre doing just fine, and i think we felt like this was a good reminder for everybody. We talked about this in the makeup room. Ive seen a child meltdown and you get embarrassed and walk away instead of saying anything i can do to help or everything is going to be okay or weve all been there. Something reassuring. Same thing on airplanes. People are struggling with kids and give them a vote of confidence. No matter how good a parent you are, kids are kids. Sometimes theyre just going to act out. They have candy there at the checkout at the market. Kids want that stuff. It can all come to a head right there. A lot of times folks with 2 and 3 year olds, ive been there. You get to the other side. In her case she was a single mom. Only 22. Im doing it alone. Its hard. Good reminder. Lets talk about celebrities. People idolize them for talent, fame, fortune, they also apparently want their facial features. A cosmetic surgeon from london revealed the most frequently requested procedures, this is what women are asking for. Are you ready . Kate middletons nose. Ill take it. Kira knightleys eyelids. Jennifer lopezs eye produces. Pretty. Penelope cruzs lips. Or anything. And Angelina Jolies cheeks. Or anything. Smash them all together. Its weird science. If you wonder what the most desirable face looks like . Dr. Julian da silva compiled all those features into this one image. Kate beckinsale. Nobody is asking for my double chin . People ask for your chins. Finally, speaking of works of art, who did not love joy of painting with bob ross. Of course. If you forgot, we can play a clip, well play something. Use blue and white and black, we can make effective very effective little clouds for us to do this. I love this, beautiful clouds right over here. So peaceful. So relaxing. What do we do with the cabin . Your choice. I thought he was painting nothing and a couple strokes and boom. Incredibly beautiful. Made it look so easy. And that hair. The hair is the thing. Thats why we bring it up. Npr has got quite the story this morning. Apparently bob ross did not like his signature do and in fact this is even more shocking perhaps, it wasnt his natural hair. Really . No. This is thats bob ross actual straight hair. Weve all been living a lie, people. He left the air force. He was a starving artist. He said that he saved money on haircuts and decided to go for the perm but then really never left it. I guess then it was it stuck. Yes. It was his trademark. Wow. Pretty cool. His hair was a work of art. Lets make a couple little waves. I used to fall asleep. Right out. What does carson have going on . Maybe pop start right over here. Lets go. Well start with john legend. The singer calling the National Anthem weak. He said this in support of nfl quarterback Colin Kaepernick who caused quite the stir for sitting during the National Anthem. John tweeted, for those defending the current anthem, do you really truly love that song . I dont and im very good at singing it like one of the best. My vote is for america the beautiful. Star spangled banner is a weak song anyway. John then linked to an article that argues the anthem is a celebration of slavery because of a line in a rarely sung third verse. However, others argue that the word slave is actually referring to the british enemy in the war of 1812. Thats quite the hot topic right now. Well move to hoda kotb up late last night with seth myers. She told seth about how she got her big break in News Business saying she was working at a local station in greenville, mississippi. She was not on the air. She wasnt an anchor. Just a writer. Heres how she ended in front of the camera. As i was typing away, my boss ran in and says who has a blazer . I said what . He said who brought a jacket. I have a blazer. Its hanging up over there. Good. You need to anchor the news because ann is sick. Okay. So the litmus test for who anchors the news in greenville, mississippi s who shows up to work with a blazer. Teleprompter is in front of me. Good morning. Im hoda kotb. Ann martin is out sick. Im like please, god, please god. The red light goes on, the guy cues me. Good evening. Im ann martin. Oh my god i just said i wasnt my own name. Hoda, are you down there . Hoda says that it was funny. You did great job. Thank you. Immediately after that you went into a supermarket and were so embarrassed and met a nice lady. She walked up to me. I was looking for ice cream because i was depressed after i had blown it like that. She goes up to me oh my god. Kind of like this in my mind. I just seen you on tv. I felt so sorry for you. I burst out into tears, baby. By the way, look at the magic happening right here, come on. It takes four hours. Getting the bob ross personal going. See you later. Bye. Finally the blackeyed peas its been 13 years since where is the love debuted. Instantly becoming a smash hit. In light of recent events. The band reuniting for a remake of the song and the music video. Veigh look. Got me, got me questioning where is the love yo, whats going on with the world, mama where is the love yo, People Living like they aint got no mama wheres the love . I think theyre all distracted and attracted by the trauma mama look who we have. The blackeyed peas. Good morning, fellas. Will, tell us a little bit about this project. This project took place online. People were asking us we need a new version of wheres the love after the paris attack and after brussels and turkey and orlando here in america, and all of the things that were happening in inner cities with Law Enforcement and civilians so our hearts were just like paining and aching like everyone elses. We went out in the studio and reunited the group and answered the call and brought our friends along and we made this song wheres the love again. Powerful video. I dont know whether its a good thing or a bad thing that the song sounds so current because the problems are still so real. We were talking about that earlier. We actually released the first where is the love in 2003 on the heels. 9 11. So for us to do it again 13 years later and revamp it adding all of these great people that were affiliated with the video and Movement Means a great thing because even though its such a crazy situation that were dealing with, the fact is that all of us got together for a great cause as human beings and it wasnt just celebrities. It was actually people. You know, preachers to rabbis. Everybody joining forces for this great cause. What can people do . Will you, youve got a Great Organization for people to support this. Go to wheresthelove. Com. 16 charities there. You can pick through all of the worheres the love bris all these charities together, and wherever your heart leads you. You go to itunes and download the song, every single dime goes to education and apple in the u. S. Is matching the donation. We feel that protecting the youth by providing them skill sets to create jobs in the future so we dont repeat the same mistakes. Fergies not here, but when you get together after a little bit of hiatus here, does that get your creative juices going. Fergie is in the video. Shes owe doing her solo project. I worked on her new album. But like i said, this was a call from the sky asking us to spread love out there and so were doing our part. Unfortunate that we had to do this at this moment but its really needed to ask that question again, and you know, raise the awareness for the kids to Pay Attention and spread the word of love. We were talking before it was 2010 last time you guys were out on our stage. It rained then. It rained that day, too. Open invitation if you guys want to come back. Thank you. Wheres the plaza booking . Ive been putting these stickers up. Can i give you a couple. Yes there you go. I dont know if you can drink out of that now. At 5 00 in the morning, thats where the love is in the coffee cup. Love it. Guys thank you so much. Thank you so much. Good to see you guys. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you, everyone. Mr. Roker, check of the weather . You bet. Announcer todays weather is brought to you by camping world. Get one stop shopping for everything rv at your nearby camping world rv supercenter. All right. So the latest on hermine, this just in from the hurricane center. 195 miles southsouthwest of apalachicola, 65 miles per hour, going to make landfall sometime late this afternoon, continue inland through georgia, through the carolinas, probably merge out along the carolina coast saturday morning and then hang a left and kind of head up the coast so we have to continue to watch this. The cone of uncertainty by monday morning puts it boston, new york, washington, philadelphia, providence, rhode island. We really have to watch this system as it continues. We got surge warnings out, we have to watch that through peak surges above high tide and also got to watch out for the possibility of tornadoes through tonight from savannah down to tampa, and of course the rain is going to be a big deal as well. Upwards of up to 20 inches of rain in the panhandle of florida, but heavy rain all the way into georgia. Hey, good thursday morning to you. We are going to see another nice day, the clouds will peel back to the coastline. Cool day there, 65 in San Francisco. Up into the 70s and 80s for the inland valleys today. Temperatures inland stay pretty much where theyre at today. A little bit of warming for the weekend and temperatures really warm for tuesday and wednesday.

Las vegas is britneys home away from home for the past three years her show her at access to Planet Hollywood is one of the citys most popular attractions. Now with the release of her ninth studio album glory britney is back and she says busier than ever. Britney spears making her return to the vma stage on sunday night telling the world britney is back. How are you . We caught up with britney backstage before her special today show concert. Do you see this as a comeback in your career . I never really left. Ive always been here. Maybe a reinvention of myself and just a different time in my life. A good, glorious time. At 34 years old, britney spent more than half of her life in the limelight and now shes proving that she still is the reigning princess of pop debuting her ninth studio album glory. Showing off her silly side and extending her hugely successful past. This show has been going strong for three years. Are you still loving vegas . I honestly do. Its like my second home. Ive been here for six weeks and i go home for six weeks. Its amazing. 90 minute shows three times a week are keeping the singer busy. When shes not performing to a packed house, britneys top priority is spending time with her family. To stay cool and unwind, these California Kids like to hang ten las vegas style in Planet Hollywoods surf simulator. Are you going to show me how to do this . I hear you guys are pros.

Catch me, britney. Youre going to grab my hand. Should we try it again . Im scared to go. I wont be seeing that video again over and over. Of course britney makes it look easy. She rocked it as did her kids. I on the other hand cannot say i had that much success. Coming up in the next half hour, that great performance from britney from here. I wish you would hurry. No. Look, there it is. We have to rerack that video of natalie on the cruise ship. Or natalie at the gym. Not my friend. You did better than we would have done. No question about it. Thank you. See you next hour. Just ahead from the garden to katie lees kitchen, a recipe for a super fresh paella. First your local news and weather. For a super fresh pie a. A very good morning to you. It is 8 26. A Spacex Falcon nine rocket exploded at Cape Canaveral in florida. Nbc news confirms it exploded during a test launch. It was set to officially launch on saturday. The cause of the blast is not clear. Nbc news also confirms no one was hurt. Well bring you the very latest throughout the morning. Elon musk, also of course the ceo of tesla motors. Want to check the morning commute right now. Rolling slowly, but better in many of the spots, laura. This being a thursday, of course. In the south bay, northbound route never been a real problem.

We have a problem because of the off ramp is closed at Treasure Island and now its presenting a distraction. Earlier this morning we had a mud spill there. Well be back with another local news update for you in about half an hour. See you then. Were back. 8 30 on a thursday morning. September 1st, 2016. With a great crowd of people out on our plaza this morning. Slightly dreary weather. Apparently this is nothing, right . Im not saying the weekend is going to be a washout here. But for our friends in florida, it will be horrible. Rip currents are a big deal up and down the eastern seaboard. We have to be careful. Crowd listening to Britney Spears music. Shell hit us one more time this morning with an exclusive performance from her new hit song. All right. And in just 24 hours, another music star will help us kick off the Labor Day Weekend. Alicia keys will perform live on our plaza as our final summer concert is going to be a great one. Cant wait. We have some great news this morning. You may remember last week i teamed up with shake shack for our todays original. We created the roker burger. For every sale 1 was donated to no kid hungry. Nonprofit that fits childhood hunger. We sold almost 17,000 roker burgers in over half their locations and shake shack decided to kick in extra. That makes our donation to no kid hungry for 20,000. Good job. Were really excited. We want to thank our friends at shake shack. I want to thank all of you. People are still talking about that burger. When we talk about the roker burger, i expect and hope that there will be a roker burger. With a shake. All right. How about a check of the weather . Thats right. Lets show you what we have for you this weekend starting off with saturday. Rip currents along the eastern seaboard. Wet weather through the plains into the southwest and the pacific northwest. Gulf coast as well. Sunday, temperatures warm up. Look for those rip currents to continue in the northeast. More wet weather through the gulf coast and showers through the plains which will continue on labor day. Look for sunshine through the midwest into the Midatlantic States and maybe well squeeze out showers in northern new england. Thats whats going on around the country. Hey, good thursday morning to you. We are going to see another nice day, the clouds will peel back to the coastline leading to a cool day there. 65 in San Francisco. Up into the 70s and 80s for the inland valleys today. Temperatures inland stay pretty much where theyre at today. A little bit of warming for the weekend. Temperatures really warm for tuesday and wednesday. San francisco stays in the 60s and then 70s towards tuesday and wednesday. Im sorry. Thats whats going on. Now lets go back inside. Hello, al. All right. As kids across the country face back to School Jitters it can be a stressful time for parents from juggling those hectic schedules to planning meals and helping out with homework of course. Here to help us get the family organized is jason. I love when you tell us about cool new apps and all of these are supposed to help not just kids but parents too. Family time is always precious and going back to school is rarer and rarer. The idea of apps is to get all of the busy work out of the way to focus on quality time with your family. We have five apps. The first one addresses the problem getting out the door. Are we do it here . Were doing it here. This is the happy kids timer. And you know, its always the worst time of the day is the morning. Kids are fighting. Theres a power struggle. And no one gets out of the door in time. It sets up a schedule of different activities. You can set the timer and give it to them. So theyll have a minute to make their bed and brush their teeth and when theyre done, they can get stars and awards and basically it means the phone does all of the nagging for you. You can concentrate on having good conversations with them. Makes it like a game. Gives them control over their own schedule as well. Were out the door. Lets talk about the commute. Kids like to fight over the radio. You have a solution. Its time to get the brain working on the way to school. Podcasts are really a great thing to listen to on the way. The one we like is called pocket cast. This is an app that cost 2. 99. Easy to subscribe to things. You can go through and pick the podcast you want. We like podcast called story pirates where kids write stories and then these really funny comic actors act them out. Gets creative juices flowing and hit school with their brains activated. Homework time. Another struggling situation for a lot of parents. One of the struggles is sometimes your kids ask you for help and you dont remember google it. And now schools teach math in different ways you may not understand. Khan academy is the gold standard. Its a series of videos and exercises that can help kids stay up to date but also parents can use this maybe while their kids are at school so when kids come home, they know what theyre dealing with and they can look brilliant. Its true. For some of us, a long time since we studied those subjects. Okay. Meal planning. Many times you sit there and go what am i going to make . You have an app for that. You either do the same goto things again and again and again or you spend hours looking through recipe books and online. So this is a Subscription Service called gathered table. For seven or eight bucks a month, theyll suggest meals for you and plan it out on a calendar and you can actually import your Favorite Recipes and organize it all on a Smart Grocery list as well. You can go to the are there degrees of difficulty for these things . They are all makeable things. Nothing fancy. And then your final app. Tell us about this. It justifies giving your kids screen time. I know a lot of us im uptight about screen time. Sometimes what are you going to do . You have to go do something. At least you can make sure that your kid is being active and working on something opposed to just passively receiving stuff. This is the everything machine. Its kind of an introduction to programming. What you can do is there are icons that you can move around and make your phone do things. So for instance in this one if you get your face on the camera, the light lights up. When you talk to technologists they talk about when they were kids they learn they could control the computer and a mindblowing experience that was. Its letting kids do things with the phone and be creative. I like that it has an educational aspect. Appreciate it. Coming up next, well cook papaya next with katie lees magic touch. On a thursday morning, this is today on nbc. All right. Were back now with more garden on the go recipes. Its the gift that keeps on giving. Our truck load of fresh produce. Nearly two does different herbs and veggies and katie lee will make the most out of the bounty. Good to see you. Summer wrapping up. Youre making one of my favorite dishes. You think its great for any time of the year but i think good for the summer dish. I love it. You buy this stuff and bring it home and wonder what to do with it now. Its great from the farmers market. Lets look at the ingredient grid. The things that jump out at you. You have two kinds of sausage here. Sausage, chicken, but you could substitute shrimp if you wanted to or any kind. We have some bacon. Bacon, zucchini, all stuff at its peak. First step is the meat. I have chicken legs. And some sausage in here. Im using canola oil. It has a higher smoke point so its good for the grill and garlic salt to give it more flavor. Toss it around in there. You do that well in advance or right before you cook it . You can do it before. Matt if youll put that on the grill for me. Chicken you should grill at medium heat so it doesnt dry out. And the skin doesnt char before the rest of it. It will cook for 20 or 25 minutes until it registers 165. Ill be back with you in a second. Talk about vegetables. Same thing. Zucchini, squash, tomatoes, oil on there and some garlic salt and pepper. And these cook for a lot less time, only a couple minutes. You want tomatoes to get blistered and yummy. Just dont want that to fall off. Go ahead. And next step is the rice. This is really the base. Can i stop you for a second . I love paella but i dont like paella when the rice is mushy. I like a crunch to the rice. Thats the best part. Im using already cooked rice and corn off the cob, green onions and bacon. Bacon will help it crisp up because thats got that fat in there and its going to give it a lot of flavor. You can even use leftover rice. You know when you have those containers from the chinese takeout. Yes. A great way to use it. Im actually doing this in a cast iron skillet instead of a paella pan so you dont have to have a special pan for this. You know whats amazing, we have our tasters at the table. They began eating this dish in our 7 30 half hour. Crispy rice is unbelievable. The two sausages, chicken and vegetables are perfect. Awesome. I want to know where charlie is. Dont you think he would like some paella . He gets the leftovers. There wont be leftovers. You are pressing it down. I press it all of the way in. You want that rice to have good contact with the bottom of the pan so it gets crunchy. You can put this right on the grill at high heat for 20 to 25 minutes. Its not going to burn. Thats how you get the crunch. Do you scrape the bottom . You can scrape it. Ill add to it some sundried tomatoes and lemon zest. Ill hold that for you. You will add fresh herbs. A lot of fresh herbs and lemon juice. Use whatever herbs you have. Im using basil, cilantro and parsley in this one. Im making a little bit of a mess. One time i did lemon basil. That tasted great. Add the protein. So weve got our sausage and chicken thats already cooked. Youre putting the whole pieces of chicken there, you wouldnt take it off the bone . You dont have to take it off the bone. You can slice sausage if you like. Ive done this with leftover ribs before which is great. Shrimp is really good. Theres all kinds of things you can do with it. Now put some of that vegetable in here, too. Okay. Guys, whats your favorite kind of paella . This. Do you like seafood . Of course. Seriously though. Do you like it . Its good. You nailed it. Yeah i love it when they like it. With seafood you have to peel the shrimp. This is easy. Take the clams out of the shell. Even the vegetables are good. Whenever you put stuff on the grill it takes on such a good flavor. Its really easy the cleanup is nothing then. Did you try it, matt . Im going to try it. Katie, well walk over there to the tasting table. There isnt a dish for me. Never mind. Too bad. Well take it right out of here. I need a fork. Look at this. You get a big boy spoon there. Perfect. All of the crunchy rice. Get the crunchy rice in there. How great is that . Really good, right . You have to have crunchy rice. Its everything. Best thing you ever made. Katie lee, rave reviews.

Look how happy you are. Willow is gorgeous. And just became a grandma for the fifth time. Shes a grandma. While you were gone congratulations to susan, willow and bob. Tamron had a date two nights ago with adam richmond. It wasnt a date. It was an outing. You went out and you ate food . We were shooting a story that felt like a date. I think he thought it was a date. Maybe it was a date that felt like a shoot. Was dinner as exciting last night as it was with him . I adore as a. Dam. Hes amazing. Im not dating currently. Im taking a break. If i were dating, he would be number one on my list. Why are you taking the break . The break is until tomorrow. Until the next date. If i were dating, for the record, adam richmond, would be at the top of the list. Does he get to wait . Once the breaks are off, then hes right there . Hes right there. The number one reason adam leads the list is because he can cook. Im just keeping it 100. He can cook. Last night i i use blue apron. What is that . Its a service so they deliver all of the ingredients for your meal but you still prepare it. There are several of them. I use a lot of them. Training wheels. No. Its not like training wheels. Its like chef. Its like having somebody shop for you and drop the stuff off. Last night i had seared salmon and sauce whats that . That was my meal. I made that. I made that myself. I made that. This is the actual this is the actual picture of the meal. Thats my problem. I ended up i had someone over for dinner. Not a date. Did they know it wasnt a date . She knows. For sure she knows. This was the dish. This is what i made. I ended up having to google it. I started to think what did we do before google . Panic. She said what are you cooking. I said salmon and it says its a sauce. No idea. How many times a day do you google something . Probably ten times at least. At least. How many times . Whenever i need something. Nothing worse than when you see somebody and you forgot their spouses name. Then you upset the spouse and you upset your dear friend. I know its deborah. If i didnt, it would be worse. Deborah would not be happy. You would be unhappy. You google spouses. So and sos wife. Quick. Whats the last thing you googled . That you can repeat. Its funny, i never look. The last thing i googled was how many times do we google. Im fascinated by it. Do you remember the encyclopedia and you used to get updates . That was a big deal. Do you find yourself in a conversation like dinner and google and searching what someone said . If you have to. You dont want to get caught. What are you doing . Are you googling my wifes name, you jerk. You dont know her name . Thats okay if someone is googable. If you go out with normal folks everybody is googable these days. Even if you think, okay, its only celebrities. Google your name and even just your address and all of this stuff pops up about you. While you were on a hot date last night, i went out to the u. S. Open. Let me google that. U. S. Open tennis. Thats my friend there. You see the device in the ear there. They hand these out. Its espn. You can listen to the play by play. As i was listening, i could barely hear them. Its very chatty in the stadium these days. Used to go to u. S. Open with my dad way back in the day, you could hear a pin drop. These guys were so they did not let go how rude the audience was and im stunned by it. People were yelling. My gosh hes drinking beer and talking and i wanted to say this is tennis. Sure enough roker and lauer were back there. Stunned by that. A big change. I wasnt ready for it frankly. I think its because people arent as purist about a lot of things anymore. You feel like i can do what i want to do. I bought the ticket. They can do whatever they want. Nadal asked 15 times for silence. They kept reminding people and people never let up. Speaking of googable like we were a second ago, halle berry looking flawless at 50. Dont google it. Well show you. On instagram. Unbelievable. If you are looking for fame, david spade is looking for you. His prank series is exactly what you would expect. Thats why we love him. David spade is after this. You would expect.

The family favorite. Yoplait. What do you call yogurt that comes in amazing flavors and packs 6 grams of protein per serving . Yoplait original. Back with more of todays take. You were in l. A. Looking for a legend to host the oscars. A decision needs to be made. I would love to see rickles up there but thats not going happen. Remember years ago they had eddie going and then the producer got in trouble. I dont think thats going to happen. I dont think so. I want it to be eddie murphy. Ratings would be huge. For him, i dont know if the risk is worth the reward. The pressure jerry said no. Its a trap game. What did he mean by that . Youre going to blow out the competition. Most people dont do well in that show. It just doesnt work. Someone has to have the eminem moment. It was a rough year. He did a good job. It was fine. Less about him and more about the controversy. I want it to be about the host and obviously the film but like someone who can bring it. I was surprised to learn that dreyfus was set to do it and got cold feet. I asked kevin hart. Would you like to yes. Not coy. Right away. This is all speculation in hollywood reporter. You think about who was your favorite oscar host . I got to go with Billy Crystal because i grew up with him. I dont remember carson. It was a tossup. Ellen is still my favorite. Carson, bob hope, and Billy Crystal. Why dont they do the multiple again where you have three people do it together. Like a team. Whoopee goldberg did a terrific job. You know what im thinking . That would work out well. Are you serious . Yes, im serious. I wouldnt even have made that because not available. No. This is no joke. Halle berry at 50 is no joke. Thats a unicorn. That doesnt happen. I remember listen, that die another day when she comes out of that water in the james bond movie hello. Fast forward to 2016. Look at that. Do you think shes changed at all . The only thing that changed is her hair. That body is exactly the same. Celebrating 50 right there. Thats beach workouts. Thats planking. Thats after two children. I think thats also great genes. Al follows her. Theres a restraining order. Speaking of photographs so excited about it. This is great news. I always said please let us zoom in on photos on instagram because sometimes you miss the entire point of the picture. He kept calling mr. Instagram. This is why its important that instagram has done this. My brother posts i finally swam to the lighthouse. Its a onemile swim for him. He posts here a picture of a lighthouse. Thats great. How do we know you swam there. Now you get in there a little tighter and there is the man in his wet suit. Proof that he actually swam to the lighthouse. Thats a selfie. Thats really impressive.

The hilarious david spade hit the bigtime on saturday night live in the 90s where he brought snarky sarcasm. I love to read these things while they are sitting there. He went on to star in tommy boy with chris farley. You can see his crafty mind at work as creator and executive producer of fameless. Reality star want to bes get pranked. Pulls no punches on his tommy boy costar. Being so handsome made it difficult for him to find meaningful roles. I wanted to ask brad pitt about that but he was too busy acting in meaningful roles. It hasnt even aired and the roast was trending all weekend long. Turned into a bit of a debacle. It always happens like that. We have the roasters. Rob is getting roasted. Im the roast master. We all just sort of burn each other. When ann colter was added, it shifted heat off me. Took a shot at ann colter saying didnt she just recently win the kentucky derby. That was rough. It got way worse. She came in. They were doing cuter jokes like, david spade is dumb and short. That was fine. Sort of accurate. Then it went into ann colter and it got a bit it was sort of a firing squad. I have to say, not even in her defense, those things get rough. I dont know if she thought she was coming to the Golden Globes or something because it was really bad really fast. It was a lot of fun. When you see it, youll see it. A lot of good, smart jokes in there in the whole show. A couple just statements. We are in a politically correct environment. I think a lot of comedians said to me they are afraid to touch some material. It goes online and people make up a line about it. 24 hours later youre the worst person in the world. You had a couple shots in there that were really strong. Do you ever worry about that . I feel like the roast is the last place you can do that stuff. Everyone understands. When they do the roast at the comedy store at night, then you can say anything. It just sort of stays in there this is a version of that. Its one of the last things that you can see where its the old school rough and tumble. Its not way old like when they were doing it way back when. Your show fameless is taking old school candid camera to the next level where you have these reality show folks who think theyre going to be stars and you prank them. Yes. Its always its sort of fun. This one here the guy he says he can fly and dives out the window. He thinks he kills himself. Everyone around them are actors except for the person being punked. The guy jumps out the window. I can fly. Great. Wait. No. Its not my fault. But thats the kind of fun stuff on air we do two or three each episode. We got a guy who controls drones with his brain. You can talk people into anything. Do you think theres no way this person is going to fall for this. Probably every time. They always fall for it . They always do. Theyre so excited to be on tv. Sometimes we have real celebrities to give it a real feel. They are so happy to do it. And then it goes wrong quickly. Do people do it for money . Ego . Why does everybody used to be 15 minutes of fame. Now it seems to be less. It might be 15 seconds. Everyone is getting it. They really love it. They see a world where theyre, like, it used to be i want to act and do this and sing. Kardashians. I fight in the kitchen with my family. I can do this. All it takes anymore. I hate my sisters. I can have a show. And launch a handbag line off the back of it. Multimillionaire. Marry a rapper. I should just jump in. Well give it a shot. Would you host the oscars . I dont know. I think i might be too rough if we go by the roast. David spade, thanks so much. Catch fameless monday nights on trutv.
