There is mounting pressure on President Trump to publicly denounce the White Supremacist at the root of the violence in virginia. He didnt do it over the weekend. And democrats and republicans are united. He needs to speak out more forcefully. This morning, the white house grappling with the ongoing backlash over the words that President Trump didnt say in the wake of the violent clashes in virginia. Not specifically calling out White Supremacist groups behind it all. He missed an opportunity to be explicit here. Reporter the president s statement on saturday, seemed to suggest that everyone shared some blame. Patriot bigotry and violence on many sides. Reporter the president s failure to condemn the nationalists, significant because during the campaign, some of those groups supported him. And kkk leader said they were protesting in the president s name. Were determined to take our country back. Were going to fulfill the promises of donald trump.

Reporter as a candidate, mr. Trump said labels are important. Anyone who cannot name our enemy is not fit to lead this country. Reporter now, the president s saturday silence on white hate groups is creating a deafening problem for the white house. The president was silent on sunday, including on twitter. He has sent out a series of tweets, this morning, including this one. Heading to washington this morning. Much work to do. Focus on trade and military. But still nothing about virginia. Its the one topic people all across the country are waiting for him to revisit. Savannah . Craig . Kristen welker for us from new jersey. Were hearing from the Vice President , mike pence, as he begins a weeklong trip to south and central america. He singled out White Supremacists, neonazis and the kkk, he defended the president for not citing those groups in his statement. Peter alexander is traveling with the Vice President and spoke with him oneonone. Peter, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning to you. I traveled to colombia with the Vice President. During our interview, he did what many critics say the president should have done. He condemned White Nationalists, White Supremacists and neonazis. I began our conversation asking him why the president didnt call out those groups by name. The president said he condemns hate and violence in all of its forms. We will not tolerate hatred and violence of groups like White Supremacists and kkk and the neonazis. The extremist Fringe Groups have no place in the american debate. We condemn them in the strongest of terms. Why wont the president use those words . I think the American People heard the president idea, condemn in his words, organizations that purvey hate and violence. The American People heard him. To be fair, some americans heard that. Others didnt, including orrin hatch. My brother didnt give his life fighting hilter will for nazi ideas not to g challenged here at home. Was it a mistake for the president not the be more clear . If you were advising him now, would you suggest he do it differently . I think the president yesterday spoke into a national moment. Words that the American People needed to hear. We condemn acts of violence, acts of hatred. He said on many sides. Name those sides. What are the sides . As i said today, we condemn in the strongest terms, the hate and violence advocated by groups like White Supremacists, neonazis and their ilk. Thats one side. Whats the other side . He says many sides. As you look throughout the course of recent years, weve seen protests turn violent. Weve seen fringe groum groups violence against police officers, with tragic results. With respect, only one group yesterday killed one american. And were bringing the full weight of the federal government to investigate that heinous act. I take issue with the fact that many in the immediamedia are sp more time this is orrin hatch and cory gardner, sir. Im reading their quotes. Many in the media spend a lot of time focusing on what the president said and critici criticizing instead of criticizing those who brought that hatred and violence to the streets of charlottesville, virginia. Reporter at the end of the conversation, i asked the Vice President if this was an act of domestic terrorism. He said, it may well have been. The president has directed the department of justice to direct a full investigation into attacks he said were similar to other attacks around the world. Were joined by Jeff Sessions. Good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. Lets talk about the president s words. Theyre worth focusing on on this moment. He said, this was an egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. And he was asked to condemn White Supremacists who were protesting. Why didnt he call them out . Well, he made a very strong statement that directly contradicted the ideology of hatred, violence, bigotry, racism, White Supremacy. Those things must be condemned in this country. Theyre totally unacceptable. You can be sure this department of justice in his administration is going to take the most vigorous action to protect the right of people like Heather Heyer, to protest against racism and bigotry. Were going to protect the right to assemble and march. And were going to prosecute anybody, to the full extent of the law, that violates their ability to do so. You can be sure of that. Attorney general sessions, let me follow up. You say it was a forceful statement. But he adds the violence going on, the hatred and bigotry were on many sides. What are the many sides . We had spasms of violence that are unacceptable in america. He said he wasnt talking about donald trump or barack obama. He said these problems have been going on for a long time. He said what happened in charlottesville is unacceptable. We need to find out what happened, that its wrong. And we need to study it and see what as a nation we can do to be more effective against this kind of extremism and evil, really. I thought it was a it was a good estimate, delivered just a few hours after the event. The next day, yesterday, they explicitly called out the nazis and the kkk. The president did not. That statement that youre referring to, came from the white house. It was it came from the white house. It sure did. It was authorized. Heres a president , as you know, general sessions, hes not afraid to take to twitter to ca chastise, a number of folks, yourself included. Hes not afraid to call out terrorism overseas. He didnt do that, why . The president did do that that wasnt the president. Thats not the same as the president of the United States. Youre interrupting me. I asked you, i was giving you an answer. Go ahead. It was a white house spokesman who made that statement, explicitly condemning these groups by name. Im sure hell talk again about it soon. Today . Will the president of the United States, today, is going to explicitly condemn the altright groups and White Nationalist groups . He will be speaking to the people today. Im not sure what he will say. Thats my understanding. And hes been firm on this from the beginning. He is appalled by this. General sessions, the daily sto stormer, a neonazi publication. They saw it as a tacit sign of support for their sign. This is what they posted shortly after the president s comments in part. And i think we have it here on the careen for you. President trumps comments were good. He didnt attack us. Nothing specific against us. They go on to say we need to study why people are to angry, and implied there were hate on both sides. He said the antifascists are haters. God bless him. Thats from a neonazi publication. Isnt that proof that the president didnt stand up sufficiently to White Supremacy on saturday . Theyre simply attempting to legitimate themselves in any way possible. Theyre find ought were coming after them for any violations of the law. The president has condemned by name and will continue to do so. Im confident that the American People will reject this kind of evil ideology. And we need to take it seriously. It does appear that people are amazingly, naziism remains alive, after all of the evil it has caused in the world. I think we take in seriothis se. We go after it morally, politically, legitimately, in any way possible to reject this ideology that causes division and hatred in america. Its just not part of our heritage. Before we let you go. We havent had a chance to speak to you since the president made several remarks directed at you, his own attorney general. My question to you, has the president apologized for his kind of public scolding of you . Have you spoken to him about it . Especially in light that youre out here defending him . I believe in the president s agenda. I believe in his leadership. He has a right to scold his cabinet members if hes not happy with them. And he has a right to have people in his cabinet that he believes will serve his agenda. Did you deserve that publicly like that . And talking about the issues that face us right now. I appreciate the opportunity to serve in his administration. Has he ever apologized for doing so publicly . Hes not apologized. He is frank about his concerns and expressed them openly. Attorney general, thank you for being with us. We appreciate it. Lets get a first check of the weather. Dylan is in for al today. Good morning, guys. Were looking at the tropics.

We are back, with curtis stone our cohost this morning. This is good stuff. Hes going to share some of his chefs secrets that will change our lives in the kitchen. I love this. Starting with eggs. I get asked how long can you keep eggs . You never know when you buy them. The truth is, five or six weeks. Theyre good for five to six weeks if kept in the right temperatures. If you drop one into water and it sinks, that means its fresh. If it does not flosink, it is o. If your egg floats, dont cook it. I have no idea when i bought them. This is a way to protect your knives and not get cut. This is one of those things that we always have laying around. Its the center of the paper towel we have in the kitchen. Just flatten it out. And put the spine of the knife against it. Thats a perfect fit. And anyone reaching into the drawer will not cut their fingers. Theres nice sheathes on the market. But this one is free. Ive lost a couple over time. So, the kids dont touch them. This is you lost a couple of knives. We should locate them. This is a good way to lose a finger. See how the board is slipping around. Its a moving surface. One thing we do in a professional kitchen, is take a wet piece of paper towel. Put that around. And your board wont move around. Another tip. Sometimes youll cut garlic on a cutting board. And it gets stinky. And i put caple apples the n move. The best move, is to get ginger. I like to grate it on the board. And rub that in. And the ginger will lift most of the flavors you will find in the board. The ginger will lift that up. Thats a nice tip. Thats really interesting. Were talking about ginger ginger is a great tool in the kitchen. As a marinade, it tenderizes meat. If its steak or chicken or pork chops, whatever it is youre cooking, a little grated ginger like this into a marinade. Thats oil and garlic and thyme. Does it add flavor . It smells good. It is fresh and delicious. It has a tenderizing property, that a lot of people dont know about it. It doesnt affect the flavor . It does. You will get the ginger flavor, which is a good thing. That smells good. This is my last kitchen hack. From eggs to the egg carton. Now, were getting plastic egg cartons. If youre doing a stir fry, chop up onions or garlic. Instead of getting a bunch of bowls out of the fridge, this allows different ingredients at your fingertips. Every one of these is usable. You can find the tips and more at today. Com food.

And use the leftovers for a thai beef salad. You start with a beautiful dryaged new york strip. You get a funky flavor to it. A little salt and pepper on both sides. And theres a couple of important steps to grilling the perfect steak. All right . You dont add any oil to the pan. If you need to add a little oil, add it to the steak. What kind of oil do you use . A little grape seed oil. A lot of steak dont needs any oil. The marble is enough to give you a seal. Theres a couple of important parts. First of all, temper the steak. You let it come up to room temperature. Youre going to cook it on each side for 60 seconds and turn it every 60 seconds. That way, you are going to cook it a little slower. All right . Im going to leave that. And im going to show you how it looks when it comes off. Thats it, just salt and pepper . Salt and pepper. You dont need marinade on a beautiful, tender steak. You want to taste the flavor of the beef. This is a new york strip once its been cooked and rested. Thats the other important part. Rest the steak. Im cutting into it and juices arent flying out. Youve allowed the temperature to come down ever so slightly, which actually means all of the juice stays inside the steak, rather than ending up all over the cutting board. The general rule of thumb is rest it half the time to cook it. If it was on for five minutes, rest it for 2 1 2. Look how clean and neat that is. Isnt that beautiful . How long does it take to get to the perfect color . One this size is probably going to send 60 seconds on each side and ill turn it twice. Two minutes on each side should be enough. Four minutes cooking time total. What do you do with leftover steak . Sometimes we grill a little too much. You make a beautiful thai salad. Into my blender, have fish sauce, garlic, ginger and thai chili. Is that everything we need . Thats everything you need. Thats not bad at all. A little bit of sugar. A little bit of grape seed oil. The fish sauce isnt fishy. I was expecting it to be fishy. You dont need to put too much. Okay. Let me turn it on. You blend it. This emulsifies the sauce. Right . And thats it. Its that simple. All those ingredients into a blender. Thats all you have to do. Next, you make the salad. I have beautiful greens. Some cucumber that ive just sliced. Some cherry tomatoes. Some mint. Some basae sill. And cilantro. I tear this because bruising the herb a little will help the flavor come out. A little of the basil, as well. And some of the beautiful, fresh cilantro. Thats what it is. Cilantro is fresh and gorgeous. And red onions. Cut the end of your onion off. Slice it nice and thin, right . If you want to use a mandolin, you can use a mandolin. Didnt even look down. Hes looking at us. Stop. Watch what youre doing, okay . Always keep your eye on the food. And then, green onions too. Theyre all even and cooked just the right way. How do you know its about to be finished . Chop more onions, please. You go ahead and get the onions and the scallions into the salad. Just toss it a little like that. And then, you go ahead, take a steak. Pick up the beautiful leftover sliced steak. And again, it doesnt have any flavor on, apart from the salt and pepper. And you get the beautiful dressing that you made, that you emulsified. Drizzle it around. This is leftovers thats worthy of a restaurant meal. This is fantastic. That dressing, i want to take it home and bottle it up. This is so good. Really good. And the thing is, it looks simple. But the taste is insane. Nfor the recipe, go to today. Com food. Worth it.
