to strive to -- miss utah is here for a second chance at the question that made her an internet sensation today. tuesday june 18th, 2013. from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plaza. good morning and welcome in on a tuesday morning. i'm savannah guthrie. >> at least she has a sense of humor. i'm matt lauer with al roker and natalie morales and the obama administration continues to react to these leaks from edward snowden. they're promising to release more details about the nsa programs and the terror plots they thwarted and that's coming today. >> we will talk to the committee chairman mike rogers in just a moment. >> but first right to andrea

mitchell, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. democrats and republicans want the head of the national security agency to explain just how edward snowden gained access to so many secrets and whether the surveillance programs are worth the trade off in personal privacy. even on the world stage president obama was trailed by the embarrassing leaks potentially undermining his arguments for cyber security. he says american citizens are not spied on by their government without a court order and probable cause for a terror plot during a interview. >> if you are a u.s. person the nsa cannot listen to your telephone calls and the nsa cannot target your e-mails. >> and have not. >> and have not. >> but in a web chat with the guardian on monday, snowden wrote, if i target, for example an e-mail address and that e-mail address sent something to you, joe america, the analyst

gets it. all of it. that worries new york city police commissioner ray kelly whose department has the most extensive information gathering force of any in the nation. >> the fact that they can rummage through this material without authorization is something that needs to be looked at. >> reporter: snowden denied he is sharing secrets with shy in a. ask yourself, if i were a chinese spy, why wouldn't i have flown directly into bejing. his father said he loved him but pleaded for him to stop leaking. >> i don't know what you have seen but i just ask that you measure what you're going to do and not release any more information. >> reporter: faced with the growing controversy the president said the u.s. does not have to sacrifice freedom for security. >> what i have asked them to do is see how much of this we can

declassify without further compromising the program. >> reporter: defiant in his online chat snowden promised more leaks to come. intelligence officials are searching through their computers to learn how much he already accessed with some estimating that the tally is up to 1 million secret documents. andrea mitchell, thank you. mike rogers, a republican from michigan is chairman of the house committee, good morning to you. >> good morning, thank you for having me. >> you're going to have an open hearing this morning where general alexander will come and testify. do you expect him to come armed with specific examples of how terrorist plots have been thwarted? >> yes, we know there's dozens and we've asked to start declassifying these. he will talk more about declassified terrorist attacks that involved these two programs. the reason it's taking time is pain sakingly they need to make sure that no source, no method

is disclosed. we don't want to make this thing more damaging than it has already become to try to catch terrorists trying to stop terror in the united states. >> is somebody asking the american people to trust that the government can properly handle this information, not misuse it and let it be improperly accessed. how is it that a low level employee like edward snowden had access to this information and was able to do such damage? >> well, first of all he lied about his salary and lied about his capabilities and lied about his position but what he did have the capability to do as a system's administrator is see anything everything by. think of a traffic cop at the busiest new york city intersection. sees lots of traffic going by. every once in awhile he was able to look in and see it and grab ahold of it and that's exactly what he did. if it's 1,000 piece puzzle he may have took three pieces of it and decided on his own that this was bad for the country and had

no idea about the level of oversight, the number of times people have to check and recheck the work on these particular programs and he believed wrongly, of course, according to his internet chat that nsa can listen to american's phone calls or read americans e-mails. they cannot. so the damage caused by this is getting american's worked up by it, number one, which they should be if those things were true, but they're not. but also disclosing information that he has no idea about the depth and danger that he disrupts our ability to find terrorists trying to plot attacks in the united states. >> he says he has more secrets to reveal. are you concerned that he has information of that caliber and significance? >> any time you let the enemy know exactly how you do something or exactly how you get information about their movements overseas or their

plotting in the united states it becomes much more difficult. so yes, anything he talks about is dangerous and some motion that he thinks he's a whistle blower, he is well beyond that. he made plans and preparations for months to go to china. that's a little bit concerning to us. we don't understand why he would do that if he wanted to go seek asylum in iceland. none of his story makes sense and we're a little nervous that some of the things he was trying to do exceeded his capability so we're curious how did he get that capability? was somebody helping him try to download this and it would be concerning if he decided to disclose things of which he would have no understanding how they work, how they're overseen or how it's protected. mike rogers, thank you for your time, sir. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you. let's get more on today's final meetings of the g-8 summit in ireland. much of the focus today on the civil war in syria.

chuck todd is traveling with the president. chuck, good morning to you. good morning, matt. new polls at home show the american public does not side with president obama's decision to arm the syrian rebels. syria has been the main focus at the g-8 with western allies trying to convince russia it's in their best interest to stop backing bashar al assad. simply dialing back the rhetoric was seen as a sign of progress. >> smiles across the aisle this morning in the family photo. as the president concludes a g-8 dominated by syria he used a tape before he left to clarify his position. >> we're not taking sides in a religious war. >> reporter: he pushed back at the criticism that he took too long to help the opposition to bashar al assad militarily.

>> this argument that we should have gone in earlier or heavier in some fashion and the tragedy and chaos in syria wouldn't be taking place, i think is wrong. >> reporter: in the meeting with vladimir putin both men look like they get along. >> the president wants to relax me with his statement. >> the friendly banter, hardly the hardening of cold war tension some anticipated. the main objection was to say they weren't trying to overthrow the entire syrian government. ju just bashar himself. >> we share the same idea on chemical weapons. >> reporter: late last night the russian government reiterated itself stance, no preconditions and that includes the idea of bashar al assad's departure.

he'll head to the brandonburg gate where he'll make a speech that marks the 50th anniversary of the famous jfk speech. chuck, thank you very much. >> natalie is here with a big announcement today about women serving in the u.s. military. >> good morning. the pentagon will announce how it plans to open up roles for women in combat. so mick how is is this going to change the role for women in the military. >> natalie, for women in the military, this is major. we're not going to see women assigned to the front lines as trigger pullers any time soon but this is a giant first step toward lifting the ban on women in combat. today all the services will unveil their plans to open thousands of combat related jobs for women over the years. that cold include training for navy s.e.a.l.s or army rangers

but that is a long shot. there will be no special treatment. physical standards will not be lowered for women. this dramatic shift in policy is a recognition in over the past four years in wars in iraq and afghanistan women have been zraun into live fire. 150 u.s. servicewomen have been killed in combat in the two wars. thank you. a major milestone this morning in the almost 12 year war in afghanistan. today afghan armed forces took the lead for security in that country. taking the hand from nato and the u.s. the president called it a historic moment. as of today, nato's role becomes one of support. >> we will continue to help afghan troops in operations if needed, but we will no longer plan, execute or lead these operations. by the end of 201 nato

secretary general says nato's combat mission there will be done. >> a passenger tackled by fellow passengers and restrained was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation. he started screaming about the cia and national security and claimed that everyone on the plane was being poisoned. the flight landed safely in newark where the man was escorted by fbi agents. violent clashes in brazil where they demonstrated against high taxes and poor transportation. 30 were hurt in confrontations in rio. >> fewer adult americans are smoking. the cdc study finds about 18% of adults described themselves as smokers last year. that's down from 19% the year before. officials are not sure what is behind the drop. the report did not include teen smokers. >> a new survey of travellers

finds their overall satisfaction with the airlines is up slightly from a year ago. jet blue and southwest are number one and two in customer satisfaction. united airlines is at the bottom of the survey. >> this guy probably isn't helping airline satisfaction in china where he threw more boxes of cargo off the conveyer belt than on it when he was trying to load them on to a plane. >> not hard. >> not clear how many might have been fragile. he even takes time to answer the phone a couple of times. >> nobody can do that seriously. >> he gets a buddy to help him. >> he doesn't even look to see if they land. >> it's just a surveillance camera. >> if you listen to the audio it's a passenger who is taping this. i think he is south african you hear him making commentary as he goes along. >> this is part of china's version of funniest video.

>> the boxes do look awfully light. either that or he is very strong. >> where is that plane headed to? >> rio de janeiro? >> once again. we're making fun of you because you pronounce things properly. >> say it again. >> i say it where i grew up. >> one more time. >> rio dejanero. you'll say it that way too. >> a couple of areas of severe weather to talk about. we have rapid city down to amarillo and down through the midwest, indiana to louisville, large hail and damaging winds. plenty of rain getting itself together from texas all the way into the ohio river valley. some of the rain is going to be heavy. anywhere from 20 to 3 inches of rain stretching from albany,

outrage among some because he called it a playful tip. he said they were having a intense debate about their children and he was making a point and not gripping their throat. a number of psychologists and women's groups are saying they don't buy it. that's common rationizations for abusive behavior. that on it's face is an assault. police agreed. they had saatchi go to a police station where he accepted a caution for assault meaning you admit to the offense though it's not a conviction. all right. michelle in london, thank you very much. now to a couple of scandals in two major cities north of the border that have people asking what's going on in canada. >> reporter: montreal mayor left police headquaters declining to comment on the 14 corruption charges he is facing before hopping into a cab. he arrived more than nine hours

>> this is great because it's easy and you -- now you're a southern girl from mississippi. >> southern girl through and through. >> but this say different take on the classic fried chicken. >> it is. i love to do healthy cooking. that's my platform. i decided to take a good southern base of chicken which we usually fry and make it healthy by adding corn flakes to it and making a baked style of fried chicken. >> it's an easy recipe. >> very easy. anyone can do this. >> let's go through it. >> you start crushing the corn flakes up with your hand. it's a good way to get aggression out. >> exactly. pretty small, right. >> pretty small because it's a coating and also you can do this gluten-free for anyone that has gluten allergies and you can do rice flower and gluten-free corn flakes. now whole chickens are much cheaper at the grocery store to

buy whole and then give them to your butcher. i rinsed off the chicken and patted it with a paper towel. now i'm going to mix up buttermilk. >> that's fattening to use the buttermilk. >> well it does sound fattening because it's buttermilk but it has one graham of fat in it but it's nice and thick. it adds a nice coating to the chicken and that helps everything stick to it. >> you're spicing it up. >> this is where the southern comes in. it's a pepper. >> you can adjust that. >> exactly. you can make it super hot or not, just make it super mild. whatever is your fancy. >> now how much -- what's the consistency you want here? >> just keep mixing it until you get it all really well blended and if you can hand me also, i'll do a little bit on the

flower. you're always about building flavor. any time a chef is cooking they're about building flavor. i'm going to add seasoning to my flower here. >> okay. >> and a little bit of cracked pepper there as well. so just add that in. basically we have everything seasoned up. the flower seasoned and the buttermilk seasoned and now we're going to start drudging. what you're going to do first is add a little bit of flower to it. this helps the buttermilk stick. so a little bit of flower -- >> easy girl. easy girl. >> that's how we do it in the south. it's called throwing fried chicken. >> yeah. >> now you can coat it. >> i'll turn it. >> turn it and get it really nice and coated. i'll do this a little gentler. i'll preheat my oven to 450.

>> or as you would do it. >> we invented a new dish. you can do this. 425 for 40 or 50 minutes, hour at the most. it should be ready to go. this is fantastic in the summer. i have four boys. they love a good fried chicken and this is healthy for them. >> you have a group coming over, you can do that. >> absolutely. you can do it. warm right out of the oven. this is baked so really healthy and this is great. it stays nice and crisp for picnics or potluck. >> let's talk about the parfait. >> can i just wear my raincoat. >> exactly. what i'm going to do here is i have the great parfait. taking seasonal berries or fruit, got a little bit of exactly the layers so what i have done is layered greek yogurt with fresh fruit. everything is seasonal. pineapple, berries, kiwi and

my family was in chicago so every christmas time we would drive back and forth 16 hours each way. there is a place when i would drive down the east coast on the blue ridge parkway calling blowing rock in north carolina. it's an attraction essentially that is a rock and there's a legend attached to it about -- i don't know what the legend is but it's wonderful and majestic i'm sure. you pull off the highway and pay the money and you look at a rock like that and put you through a gift shop. out you go. >> how many times did you go see the rock. >> just the once. >> but you know, it smells like a cathedral. >> it probably does. that earthy smell. did you see this, front page of the new york post? this is something i don't get. apparently photographers are seeing a boost in their business of 50% by women that are booking these -- >> oh, come on. >> these seminaked parties.

of the brat pack there. >> i was anthony michael hall in hi early awkward teen years. i didn't have the braces. >> put that up one more time. i love this look. >> which one do you like best. >> the eyebrow. the orson wells eyebrow. >> yeah, same hair, just different lengths. >> you look at the opposite ends and you've got the same look. >> yeah, that's like sophomore semiformal with the bow tie. >> that was high school. i was like 15. >> tucker carlson, you're reaching deep. >> the bowties. >> my throw back. he's a good man. natalie has a look at the headlines while we think about our hair more. >> let's recover from that. the pentagon announces how it plans to open up roles for women
