7:11 am
washington. thank you. so what happens now with the democratic convention less than a month away? jaime harrison joins us this morning, the chairman of the dnc. mr. chairman, good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, craig. it is good seeing you. >> so with what happened last night with the delegates as we sit here this morning, safe to say that kamala harris is your party's nominee for president? >> you know, the vice president definitely has tremendous momentum. she's been working the phones, doing all that's necessary in order to secure this nomination. now, we officially launch this process tomorrow, when our rules committee will meet to enact the rules of the convention and the rules of the nomination process. it is three steps the rules committee meets, craig. we will then open up for the official signatures for the delegates. you have a few days and then we will start the official voting for our nominee, likely by august 1st. >> i want to talk about the time
7:12 am
line in just a moment. but to be clear, this all happened very quickly, mr. chairman. the delegates -- essentially overnight this happened. to those who had claimed, as you just heard there, that so far the process has not been open and transparent, what would you say? >> well, the process has been fair. it's been open. it's been transparent. if anybody is thinking about running, you're running against the sitting vice president, who, along with joe biden, who worked really hard going across this country building relationships. and probably the most qualified person to be on this ballot. she has the experience. and, so, that's -- that's a tough road to hoe if that's not where -- if you don't have that gravitas, and she has it. so she's taking that momentum. we're seeing a tremendous amount of energy from the vice president. just recently in the past two days, there were two calls of black men and black women, over 100,000 combined, and they raised over $3 million. look at the energy the vp
7:13 am
garnered as it comes to fund-raising. i don't know, for anybody who is thinking about challenging her, that's going to be a tough hill to climb here. >> let's talk time line for a moment here. august 7th seems to be the date that she is going to be on or before officially nominated because the ohio ballot deadline situation there. what more can you tell us about how that's going to affect her vp pick and the timing of that? >> yeah. so, listen, we have developed -- this process will be fair, transparent, open, but it's going to be fast. and we have designed it to allow our nominees to really hit the measures and to hit the requirements that are necessary to be on the ballot in all 50 states. and in ohio, in order to be on that ballot, you have to have not only a presidential nominee but also a vice presidential nominee. so it is going to be up to the eventual nominee to make that determination. but we have designed this
7:14 am
process so that they have the sufficient time in order to select who that may be. >> so by the time the convention starts, you have a presidential nominee and the vice presidential nominee? >> that's exactly right. >> on or before august 7th? >> well, again -- >> okay. >> we're going to give it up to the nominee to make a determination on. but we should. if we're going to be on all 50 ballots we definitely have to have all that done and locked up by august 7th. >> let's talk about this virtual roll call that you guys are going to have. as you know, there was a letter circled by congressional democrats when the idea was first floated to confirm here, her. stifling debate and prematurely shutting down any tickets through unnecessary and unprecedented virtual roll call in the days ahead is a terrible idea. again, that came from congressional democrats. what do you say to those critics who are calling this a coronation, not so much an election? >> listen, i think we announced
7:15 am
this process back in may. and we announced it because in ohio the republicans were playing games in terms of ballot access for our nominee. and as the chief judiciary for the democratic party, my goal and my responsibility is to make sure unquestioned that we are on the ballot in all 50 states. i'm not going to become the first chair that doesn't meet that requirement. and, so, that's why we move this process up, so that we could get that august 7th deadline. >> jaime, 30 seconds here. really quickly. >> yeah. >> let's talk about what happened over the weekend with the former president being forced out, reportedly being shown some polling that showed that he couldn't win. a lot of people said that president biden was bullied out of office. what do you make of that? >> listen, the president, we owe him a tremendous amount of gratitude. he's a good man. he's a decent man. he's been a transformational president. but what he also demonstrated by stepping out of this race is that he is selfless.
7:16 am
he is focussed on what is in the best interest of the american people. >> but was he bullied? >> he made an assessment, craig, that this was the best thing for not only the american people but for the democratic party. >> dnc chair jaime harrison. jamie, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. meantime, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are increasing pressure on the director of the secret service to step down after she was to step down after she was r the grilled on capitol hill over the attempt on former pr attempt on former president trump's life. nbc's ryan nobles joins us. he's got the latest. hey, ryan. good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. the members of congress were so upset with the response or lack of response that they got from director cheatle that they leaders of the committee sent her a bipartisan letter demanding she resign. a call that at this point she's resisting. for more than four hours, secret service director, kimberly cheatle faced an avalanche of attacks from both republicans and democrats in congress. >> i believe director cheatle that you should resign. >> not only should you resign.
7:17 am
if you refuse to do so, president biden needs to fire you. >> reporter: cheatle forced to appear by subpoena attempted to take the blame for the security lapses that led to the attempted assassination of former president donald trump. >> we must learn what happened and i will move heaven and earth to ensure that an incident like july 13th does not happen again. >> reporter: instead, she left many members of congress frustrated. >> you are full of [ bleep ] today. you are being fully dishonest. >> pressing for answering. >> was there ever a moment that the secret service considered pausing the rally? >> the secret service would have paused the rally had they known there was an actual threat. >> so the answer is no? the answer is no, correct? >> i can -- i can speak to you in generalities. >> no, no. i don't want generalities. i want specifics. >> reporter: unable to answer basic questions, like when the gunman got on the roof and what he had with him. >> was the gun already on the roof, or did the shooter carry the gun up with him?
7:18 am
>> i do not have that information at this time. >> reporter: nbc news has reported that the secret service turned down a request by the trump team for more security assets. cheatle responded by saying there were no additional asks for the july 13th rally. but her inability to provide any explanation for what went wrong led to a rare bipartisan call at the end of the hearing from ranking member jamie raskin and chairman james comber for her to resign. >> this relationship is irretrievable at this point. >> reporter: a call cheatle refused to entertain even as she left the hearing room. >> it is bipartisan calls for you to step down, ma'am. will you take those calls to heart? >> and the house is set this week to vote on the authorization of a bipartisan task force specifically aimed at the investigation into the assassination attempt and proposed reforms to prevent it from happening again. hoda? >> ryan nobles for us there in d.c. ryan, thank you. 7:18. feels like a good time to get the first check of the weather.

8:35 am
introducing togo's new barbecue beef sandwich. it's piled high with tender beef that's slow cooked and smothered in tangy memphis style barbecue sauce. it's no fuss, no muss. just tons of flavor. the best barbecue beef is only a togo's. try one today.
8:36 am
welcome back. look at sheinelle jones out there. she is working that crowd. she is on our plaza, enjoying some time. getting air time with those really nice folks out there in the rain. when ever you're in town, we want to see youing, so come out and hang with us. let's turn to our women's health series, a closer look at sports and activities that many of us are enjoying this summer and the injury risks they can impose.
8:37 am
nbc news medical contributor dr. tara narula is here with tips for all women of all ages and skill levels. first of all, this beginning bit is kind of making me a little bit mad, okay? because it seems like the medical community, when it comes to injuries, they study men, and they don't study women. we're all different. we have different kinds of injuries. and there is a disparity there. >> there is a disparity across all aspects of science, right, but specifically definitely with sports and exercise physiology. so much of what we know is based on men in terms of the anatomy, healing from injury and even preventing and training when it comes to women. we are really behind. women have been underrepresented and under-researched. in fact, only 6% of strength and conditioning research has been based on women. >> wait, i'm sorry i didn't see you? >> 6. >> like the single digit? >> like the number 6. less than 34% of sports medicine journals have included studies that have women. >> well, i mean, this is such a basic fact. but when it comes to sneakers, i
8:38 am
was talking to a friend that when it comes to women's athletic shoes there is a term called pink them and shrink them. make them look pretty and smaller. >> exactly. >> they're men's shoes. cleats, for example, for soccer players. it is a real problem across the board. in fact, we're just learning, for example, that the menstrual cycle, something as basic as our hormones may affect whether we're more likely to get injured. researchers have learned that right bfr ovulation, that's a time of potentially increased injury. so really basic things, but we just have to study it. >> okay. let's get to some of the popular summertime sports. i have heard this from a lot of people. they're playing pickle ball. they love pickle ball. and everyone is getting hurt playing it. >> everyone is playing pickleball. >> what's the story here? >> yes. we have seen an increase in bone fractures. over the last several years. >> why is that? >> it's one of the most popular new american sports. women, especially over 65, we're seeing bone fractures. likely because of bone thinning and osteopetrosis. some other common injuries, ankle sprains are the most common across the board. then we think about shoulder
8:39 am
injuries, stress fractures, tendinitis or plantar fasciitis. >> okay. it's so stop and go, the game and such a smaller court doing a lot more of that i guess than you would in tennis. acl tears are big ones. that's a big problem. >> this is so interesting. so what we have learned is that women are 2 to 8 times more likely to rupture or tear their acl than men. again, we are starting to understand the why behind this. we have seen this with a lot of famous athletes. for example, lindsey vonn, megan rapinoe, 6 of the 23 world cup u.s. soccer athletes last year tore their acl. aubry plaza this weekend. >> okay. >> why might this be happening? >> we know that women have wider hips. the angle between the hips and the knee are different. that puts a different strain on the knee. our ligaments may be more flexible. the area in the knee that the acl runs through is a little narrower. we have less developed glute yal muscles and hamstrings. we land differently. our legs are more straight, feet flat, knees bent inwards.
8:40 am
when we turn, as opposed to men, turn on one foot. all of these things are really important and keys behind why women might be seeing these injuries more. >> if you want to prevent injuries what are some things we can do on the front end. >> first of all cross training. we get in the rut of doing the same thing. >> i do that. >> runner, try swimming and biking. strength and core building. we forget to build the muscles which increases the metabolism and bones. it builds bone health. also if you're ramping up you're doing, ramp up the volume and intensity slowly. don't go full force. stretch. rest, recover. hydrate. and proper form and technique. someone who injured her cervical spine by doing a strange side plank i can speak to the fact that you really have to know what you're doing. >> we have to underscore weights. that's one of those things that people say, oh, i'll do that later. but it actually -- i started doing weights at one point. it gives you more energy. you think you're going to get more fatigue from doing something like that.
8:41 am
it actually energizes you. >> it does, yes. >> if you start to feel like i got something but it's probably nothing and i'll just keep walking on it or working it. you say you've got to go to a specialist. don't be afraid. >> we talked about this before. listen to your body. you know your body. if you're having persistent pain lasting weeks, seeing swelling or bruising or not able to do what you usually do, it's time to see a specialist. there's a whole field of medicine called physical medicine and rehab, pmr which can be great. they can assess your injury and come up with a plan to get back to what you need to do. i will say physical therapy is really underutilized. i used when i was pregnant and had back pain. it doesn't have to be in the setting of an injury or surgery. physical therapist can work with you to build you back up to where you want to be. >> dr. narula, thank you so much. i appreciate it. for more information on women and sports injuries, scan the qr code below or head to today.com. oh, craig? >> just ahead. look who is here. chassis post and she has a new shop this list. it's loaded with everything that

8:46 am
of your foot, which is -- you know, especially for women where most of the weight if you are wearing a high heel or even a flat goes. and one for the heel of your foot for helps when the foot hits the back of your shoe. >> can you wear those multiple times? >> oh, yeah. that's the coolest thing about these. it is a reusable adhesive, so you can stick them on one pair of shoe in the morning. wash them with soap and water to reactivate thee adhesive and pu them in a different shoe at night. so this is just $12. and your feet will say, thank you, thank you, thank you. >> we spend a lot of time talking about sunscreen and the importance of wearing it. >> we do. >> but a lot of folks don't cover their lips. >> no, they don't. and we have a great new option from target. this is new at target. it is from e.l.f. >> my wife loves that brand. >> yeah, it is a great brand. this is called the sun boss gloss. it has spf 25. it is like a three-in-one. it will give you a beautiful medium gloss with a high shine. it will give you this moisturizing formula.
8:47 am

8:52 am
well, we're praying for the u.s. athletes over here in the village. but chef, when people go to france, walk us through what you're going to make today. >> so people will go in paris and eat in beistros. but a staple in france is a strip steak in a shallot sauce. we are cooking some scraps of beef. we will add some shallots in it, some garlic, like that. >> so these scraps are from what? if you're at home, is this a leftover -- >> get the butcher to give you some scraps and fatty pieces of meat. then we are going to put a little bit of flour. that will give a bit of richness to the broth. instead of being too liquidy, ih will be rich and thick. >> garlic, shallots, flour and a little bit of water. >> now we will put the water. >> this is to make the au jus. >> let the water reduce. and then you will have a nice
8:53 am
brown au jus to use. >> beautiful. then we have our steak. >> we have a beautiful steak. >> what do you like about the new york cut in particular? >> the new york cut because it is delicious. and very often in the bistro because this is an expensive cut they are skirt steak or flank steak, which is a cut that is not that expensive but very, very tasty. it is what you find in those bistros. we are going to cook our steak right here, like this. >> and you have generously seasoned both sides of it. >> we have some oil. and also they have to release some of the oil. >> yes. >> and then we are moving here. it is not going to burn. you have to sear it very well. here you see the meat is being cooked and seared. >> the residue is left over. >> a little bit of olive oil and butter. and shallots, a lot of shallots, like this. >> is this similar to the au
8:54 am
graue sauce? it's a shallot-based sauce. is it similar or no? >> it is different because -- you glaze with brandy cognac. the pepper and a bit of cream. >> yeah. >> but usually you flambe like a big flame. i don't think it is a good idea in the studio. >> no, it's not good. >> what do you think? this is your favorite meal, right? >> yes. and the fries. you haven't even touched these fries yet. >> they are very, very sweet and at the same time dark. >> this will be fun to make on friday for the opening ceremonies at the house to get in the mood. >> and it's easy. it's ease to make it. i made it medium rare, like this. >> oh, beautiful shot. >> you have a very good knife. >> do you ever cut yourself anymore, or is that just yesteryears? >> rarely. nobody likes to cut themselves.
8:55 am
>> i know. you don't know who you're talking to, chef. >> of course, the sauce with the shallots goes on top like that. >> having you make this, what a treat. >> what is the secret to great french fries? >> the secret is to cook them first in oil at a very low temperature, at 350 until they become soft. then you remove them. you bring your oil to 380. or 400. and then -- >> dump them back in. >> oh, they're twice fried. >> yeah. >> they're crunchy. then you remove them and then you season them and put on salt. >> can you believe you're here in new york. not only the michelin stars. the four-star "new york times" reviews. not only does it have all that. but your restaurant, how have you kept that for 35 years? you have a dynasty. you're the kansas city chiefs of restaurants. >> the team is very important because the team stays with us for a long time. and it creates consistency and quality. and that i think is the secret. >> you still have that pounded yellow fin tuna.
